Adjusted Earnings Reconciliation Note: $ in thousands. In 2019, we announced a new business strategy that would focus our management personnel and our investment resources primarily on scaling our Ground Lease platform. As part of this strategy, we accelerated the monetization of legacy assets, reducing our legacy portfolio to approximately 15% of our overall portfolio as of December 31, 2020, and deployed a substantial portion of the proceeds into additional investments in SAFE and new loan and net lease originations relating to the Ground Lease business. Management has determined that, effective for the first quarter 2020, a modified non-GAAP earnings metric, designated "adjusted earnings," is the metric it uses to assess our execution of this strategy and the performance of our operations. Adjusted earnings reflects impairment charges and loan provisions in the same period in which they are recognized in net income (loss) prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), rather than in a later period when the asset is sold. We believe this change is appropriate as legacy asset sales have become less central to our business, even though sales may be material to particular periods when they occur. Adjusted earnings is used internally as a supplemental performance measure which adjusts for certain items to give management a view of income more directly derived from operating activities in the period in which they occur. Adjusted earnings is calculated as net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders, prior to the effect of depreciation and amortization, including our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization from equity method investments and excluding depreciation and amortization allocable to noncontrolling interests, stock-based compensation expense, the non-cash portion of loss on early extinguishment of debt and the liquidation preference recorded as a premium above book value on the redemption of preferred stock ("Adjusted Earnings"). All prior periods have been calculated in accordance with this definition. Adjusted Earnings should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in our consolidated statements of operations. Adjusted Earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of our liquidity, nor is Adjusted Earnings indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. Rather, Adjusted Earnings is an additional measure we use to analyze our business performance because it excludes the effects of certain non-cash charges that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our operating performance. It should be noted that our manner of calculating Adjusted Earnings may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies. 23 Three Months Twelve Months Ended December 31, Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders ($19,083) ($46,260) ($65,937) $291,547 Add: Depreciation and amortization 17,357 14,920 63,882 58,925 Add: Stock-based compensation expense 12,679 9,742 39,354 30,436 Add: Non-cash loss on early extinguishment of debt/preferred - 6,650 3,470 7,118 Adjusted earnings (loss) allocable to common shareholders $10,953 ($14,947) $40,769 $388,026

Adjusted Common Equity Reconciliation Note: Amounts in thousands, except for per share data. Q4 ‘20 SAFE mark-to-market value of iStar’s investment in Safehold is $2,521m, calculated as iStar’s ownership of 34.8m shares of SAFE at the December 31, 2020 closing stock price of $72.49. Q4 ‘19 SAFE mark-to-market value of iStar’s investment in Safehold is $1,256m calculated as iStar’s ownership of 31.2m shares of SAFE at the December 31, 2019 closing stock price of $40.30. We use adjusted common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental measure to give management a view of equity allocable to common shareholders prior to the impact of certain non-cash GAAP measures. Management believes that adjusted common equity provides a useful measure for investors to consider in addition to total shareholders equity because cumulative effect of depreciation and amortization expenses and CECL allowances calculated under GAAP may not necessarily reflect an actual reduction in the value of the Company’s assets. Adjusted common equity should be examined in conjunction with total shareholders’ equity as shown on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Adjusted common equity should not be considered an alternative to total shareholders’ equity (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor is adjusted common equity indicative of funds available for distribution to shareholders. It should be noted that our manner of calculating adjusted common equity may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.
