(a)

In 3Q 2015, BXMT revised the basis of reporting for Core Earnings to be net of incentive fees. Core EPS numbers indicated in the chart for 3Q 2014, 4Q 2014 and 1Q

2015 are adjusted from the previously reported $0.50, $0.52 and $0.54, respectively, so as to be comparable to Core EPS numbers in 3Q 2015 and subsequently.

(b)

Represents net income attributable to Blackstone Mortgage Trust

(c)

Adjustment in respect of the deferral in Core Earnings of the accretion of a total $9.1 million of purchase discount attributable to a certain pool of GE portfolio

loans pending the repayment of those loans

Definitions

Core

Earnings:

Blackstone

Mortgage

Trust,

Inc.

(“BXMT”)

discloses

Core

Earnings,

a

financial

measure

that

is

calculated

and

presented

on

the

basis

of

methodologies

other

than

in

accordance

with

generally

accepted

accounting

principles

in

the

United

States

of

America

(“GAAP”)

in

this

presentation.

Core

Earnings

is

an

adjusted

measure

that

helps

BXMT

evaluate

its

performance

excluding

the

effects

of

certain

transactions

and

GAAP

adjustments

that

it

believes

are

not

necessarily

indicative

of

its

current

loan

origination

portfolio

and

operations.

Although

according

to

its

management

agreement

BXMT

calculates

the

incentive

and

base

management

fees

due

to

its

Manager

using

Core

Earnings

before

incentive

fees

expense,

beginning

with

the

third

quarter

of

2015,

BXMT

reports

Core

Earnings

after

incentive

fees

expense,

as

BXMT

believes

this

is

a

more

meaningful

presentation

of

the

economic

performance

of

its

class

A

common

stock.

Core

Earnings

is

defined

as

GAAP

net

income

(loss),

including

realized

gains

and

losses

not

otherwise

included

in

GAAP

net

income

(loss),

and

excluding

(i)

net

income

(loss)

attributable

to

the

CT

Legacy

Portfolio,

(ii)

non-cash

equity

compensation

expense,

(iii)

depreciation

and

amortization,

(iv)

unrealized

gains

(losses),

and

(v)

certain

non-cash

items.

Core

Earnings

may

also

be

adjusted

from

time

to

time

to

exclude

one-time

events

pursuant

to

changes

in

GAAP

and

certain

other

non-cash

charges

as

determined

by

BXMT’s

manager,

subject

to

approval

by

a

majority

of

its

independent

directors.

Core

Earnings

does

not

represent

net

income

or

cash

generated

from

operating

activities

and

should

not

be

considered

as

an

alternative

to

GAAP

net

income,

or

an

indication

of

BXMT’s

GAAP

cash

flows

from

operations,

a

measure

of

BXMT’s

liquidity,

or

an

indication

of

funds

available

for

its

cash

needs.

In

addition,

BXMT’s

methodology

for

calculating

Core

Earnings

may

differ

from

the

methodologies

employed

by

other

companies

to

calculate

the

same

or

similar

supplemental

performance

measures,

and

accordingly,

its

reported

Core

Earnings

may

not

be

comparable

to

the

Core

Earnings

reported

by

other

companies.

Non-Consolidated

Senior

Interests:

Senior

interests

in

loans

originated

and

syndicated

to

third

parties.

These

non-recourse

loan

participations

constitute

additional

financing

capacity

and

are

included

in

discussions

of

the

loan

portfolio.
