(1) Cash available for distribution, or CAD, is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that CAD provides investors and management with a meaningful indicator of operating performance. Management also uses CAD, among other measures, to evaluate profitability and our board of trustees considers CAD in determining our quarterly cash distributions. We also believe that CAD is useful because it adjusts for a variety of noncash items (such as depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, realized gain (loss) on assets, provision for loan losses and non-cash interest income and expense items). Furthermore, CAD removes the effect of our previous consolidation of the legacy securitizations, T8 and T9 which we deconsolidated as part of our exit of the Taberna business in December 2014. We calculate CAD by subtracting from or adding to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders the following items: depreciation and amortization items including, depreciation and amortization, straight-line rental income or expense, amortization of in place leases, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of discount on financings and equity-based compensation; changes in the fair value of our financial instruments; realized noncash gain (loss) on assets and other; provision for loan losses; impairment on depreciable property; acquisition gains or losses and transaction costs; certain fee income eliminated in consolidation that is attributable to third parties; and one-time events pursuant to changes in U.S. GAAP and certain other non-routine items. CAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash generated from operating activities, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. For example, CAD does not adjust for the accrual of income and expenses that may not be received or paid in cash during the associated periods. Please refer to our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP in Item 8. In addition, our methodology for calculating CAD may differ from the methodologies used by other comparable companies, including other REITs, when calculating the same or similar supplemental financial measures and may not be comparable with these companies.

(3) Based on 79,970,599 weighted-average shares outstanding-diluted for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.
(4) As of December 19, 2014, our subsidiary assigned or delegated its rights and responsibilities as collateral manager for T8 and T9 securitizations. As such, we no longer consolidate those securitizations as of that date.

(1) Constitutes forward-looking information. Actual full 2015 projected cash available for distribution could vary significantly from the projections presented. CAD may fluctuate based upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the timing and amount of investments, repayments and asset sales, capital raised, use of leverage, changes in the expected yield of investments and the overall conditions in commercial real estate and the economy generally. CAD per share does not take into account any potential dilution from our outstanding convertible senior notes or w arrants or equity compensation. The above guidance assumes for 2015: gross loan originations of $1.2 billion to
$1.6 billion; $700 to $800 million of property acquisitions; gains on property sales of $22 to $28 million resulting in $0.26-$0.32 per share of gains on property sales, respectively; RAIT’s property portfolio experiences 3% to 4% rental revenue grow th; RAIT’s investment portfolios do not experience significant loan repayments; and 85 million to 87 million w eighted average shares outstanding.

The above guidance assumes for 2015: gross loan originations of $1.2 billion to $1.6 billion; $700 to $800 million of property acquisitions; gains on property sales of $22 to $28 million resulting in $0.26-$0.32 per share of gains on property sales, respectively; RAIT’s property portfolio experiences 3% to 4% rental revenue grow th; RAIT’s investment portfolios do not experience significant loan repayments; and 85 million to 87 million w eighted average shares outstanding.
(2) Cash available for distribution, or CAD, is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that CAD provides investors and management w ith a meaningful indicator of operating performance. Management also uses CAD, among other measures, to evaluate profitability and our board of trustees considers CAD in determining our quarterly cash distributions. We also believe that CAD is useful because it adjusts for a variety of noncash items (such as depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, realized gain (loss) on assets, provision for loan losses and non-cash interest income and expense items). We calculate CAD by subtracting from or adding to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders the follow ing items: depreciation and amortization items including, depreciation and amortization, straight-line rental income or expense, amortization of in place leases, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of discount on financings and equity-based compensation; changes in the fair value of our financial instruments; realized noncash gain (loss) on assets and other; provision for loan losses; impairment on depreciable property; acquisition gains or losses and transaction costs; certain fee income eliminated in consolidation that is attributable to third parties and onetime events pursuant to changes in U.S. GAAP and certain other non-recurring items. CAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. For example, CAD does not adjust for the accrual of income and expenses that may not be received or paid in cash during the associated periods. Please refer to our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, our methodology for calculating CAD may differ from the methodologies used by other comparable companies, including other REITs, w hen calculating the same or similar supplemental financial measures and may not be comparable w ith these companies.
(3) CAD Return is computed by dividing CAD per share by average Adjusted Book Value (ABV) during 2014. For 2015, CAD Return is computed using ABV as of March 31, 2015 of $6.22 per common share. See slide 20 for a reconciliation of RAIT’s total shareholders’ equity to its adjusted book value, a non-GAAP financial measure.

(1) Management views adjusted book value as a useful and appropriate supplement to shareholders’ equity and book value. The measure serves as an additional performance measure of our value because it facilitates evaluation of us without the effects of various items that we are required to record in accordance with GAAP but which have limited economic impact on our business. Those adjustments primarily reflect the effect of consolidated securitizations where we do not currently receive cash flows on our retained interests, accumulated depreciation and amortization, the valuation of long-term derivative instruments and a valuation of our recurring collateral and property management fees. Adjusted book value is a non-GAAP financial measurement, and does not purport to be an alternative to reported shareholders’ equity, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of book value. Adjusted book value should be reviewed in connection with shareholders’ equity as set forth in our consolidated balance sheets, to help analyze our value to investors. Adjusted book value may be defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry.
Investors should consider these differences when comparing our adjusted book value to that of other REITs.
(2) Based on 82,885,444 common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2015.
(3) Based on 4,775,569 Series A preferred shares, 2,288,465 Series B preferred shares, and 1,640,100 Series C preferred shares outstanding as of March 31, 2015, all of which have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.
(4) Includes the estimated value of (1) property management fees to be received by us as of March 31, 2015 from RAIT Residential, Urban Retail, RAIT I and RAIT II, and the value ascribed to the fees from our fixed-rate CMBS loan sale business and (2) advisory fees to be received by RAIT from IRT as of March 31, 2015. The other item included is the incremental market value of our ownership of 7.3 million shares of IRT common stock over their book value at March 31, 2015. We did not tax effect the valuation of these items as we have loss carryforwards that could absorb the potential gain.
