34 Non-GAAP Measures Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”) and EAD Return on Capital (“EAD ROE”) EA D and EA D ROE are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders and GAAP return on common equity (“GAAP ROE”), respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2023, w e changed our calculation of EA D and conformed all pr ior period amounts presented in the table below and throughout this Redw ood Review . This change consisted of removing the previous ly presented line item tit led "Change in economic bas is of investments". Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2023, w e changed our consolidated income statements to include a new line item titled "HEI income, net". This line item includes all amounts related to our HEI investments that w ere previously presented w ithin the " Investment fair value changes, net" line item. As such, our adjustment for " Investment fair value changes, net" in our current calculation of EAD does not include fair value changes related to our HEI investments. EA D is defined as: GAAP net income (loss) available (related) to common stockholders adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes; ( ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude certain organization restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated w ith those adjustments. EA D ROE is defined as EA D div ided by average common equity. We believe EA D and EA D ROE provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and help facilitate compar isons to industry peers. Management also believes that EA D and EA D ROE are metrics that can supplement its analysis of the Company’s ability to pay dividends, by providing an indication of the current income generating capacity of the Company's business operations as of the quarter being presented. EA D and EA D ROE should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as an alternative to GAA P net income (loss) available (related) to common shares, GAAP ROE or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance w ith GAAP or for federal income tax purposes. $ in millions Footnotes: 1. Investment fair value changes, net includes all amounts w ithin that same line item on our consolidated statements of income, w hich primarily represents both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our investments (excluding HEI) and associated hedges. As noted above, realized and unrealized gains and losses on our HEI investments are reflected in a new line item on our consolidated income statements titled “HEI income, net”. 2. Realized (gains)/losses, net includes all amounts w ithin that line item on our consolidated statements of income. 3. Acquisition related expenses include transaction costs paid to third parties, as applicable, and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets related to the Riverbend, CoreVest and 5 Arches acquisitions. 4. The tax effect of adjustments represent the hypothetical income taxes associated w ith all adjustments used to calculate EAD.

35 Non-GAAP Measures EAD Net Contribution and EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital EAD Net Contribution and EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital are non-GAAP measures derived from GAAP Net Contribution and GAAP Return on Capital, respectively. EAD Net Contribution presents a measure of the profitability of our business operations and is defined as GAAP Net Contribution adjusted to (i) exclude investment fair value changes, net; (ii) exclude realized gains and losses; (iii) exclude acquisition related expenses; (iv) exclude organizational restructuring charges (as applicable); and (v) adjust for the hypothetical income taxes associated with these adjustments. Each of these adjustments to arrive at EAD Net Contribution are the same adjustments used to calculate EAD, as applicable to each segment for which it is being calculated. EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital presents a measure of profitability relative to the amount of capital utilized in the operations of each segment during a period and is calculated by dividing annualized non-GAAP EAD Net Contribution by the average capital utilized by the segment during the period. Management utilizes these measures internally in analyzing each of the Company’s business segments’ contribution to EAD. See prior slide for a further description of how management utilizes EAD and why EAD may assist investors, as well as limitations related to using EAD-based metrics. We caution that EAD Net Contribution and EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital should not be utilized in isolation, nor should they be considered as alternatives to GAAP Net Contribution, GAAP Return on Capital or other measurements of results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net contribution from our segments, reconciled to EAD Net Contribution, and the associated GAAP return on capital and non-GAAP EAD Net Contribution Return on Capital.
