35 IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation includes certain “non-GAAP” supplemental measures that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, including the financial metrics defined below, of which the calculations may from methodologies utilized by other companies for similar performance measurements, and accordingly, may not be comparable to those of other companies. This presentation includes forward-looking guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, FRE, Run-rate Investment Management Fee Revenue and Run-Rate Investment Management Fee Related Earnings. These measures will differ from net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, in ways similar to those described in the reconciliations of historical Adjusted EBITDA and FRE to net income. We do not provide guidance for net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, or a reconciliation of guidance for these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in net income. Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA): Adjusted EBITDA represents DE adjusted to exclude the following items: interest expense as included in DE, income tax expense or benefit as included in DE, preferred stock dividends, equity method earnings, placement fee expense, our share of realized carried interest and incentive fees net of associated compensation expense, certain investment costs for capital raising that are not reimbursable by our sponsored funds, and capital expenditures as deducted in DE. Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a reportable segment basis and for the Company in total. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful supplemental measure of performance because it presents the Company’s operating performance independent of its capital structure, leverage and non-cash items, which allows for better comparability against entities with different capital structures and income tax rates. However, because Adjusted EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and taxes and does not deduct capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, its usefulness as a performance measure may be limited. Assets Under Management (“AUM”): Assets owned by the Company’s balance sheet and assets for which the Company and its affiliates provide investment management services, including assets for which the Company may or may not charge management fees and/or performance allocations. Balance sheet AUM is based on the undepreciated carrying value of digital investments and the impaired carrying value of non digital investments as of the report date. Investment management AUM is based on the cost basis of managed investments as reported by each underlying vehicle as of the report date. AUM further includes uncalled capital commitments but excludes DBRG OP’s share of non wholly-owned real estate investment management platform’s AUM. The Company's calculations of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. DigitalBridge Operating Company, LLC (“DBRG OP”): The operating partnership through which the Company conducts all of its activities and holds substantially all of its assets and liabilities. DBRG OP share excludes noncontrolling interests in investment entities. Digital Investment Management Fee Related Earnings (Digital IM FRE): Digital IM FRE is calculated as recurring fee income and other income inclusive of cost reimbursements (related to administrative expenses), and net of compensation expense (excluding equity-based compensation, carried interest and incentive compensation) and administrative expense (excluding placement fees and straight-line rent). Digital IM FRE is used to assess the extent to which direct base compensation and operating expenses are covered by recurring fee revenues in the digital investment management business. We believe that Digital IM FRE is a useful supplemental performance measure because it may provide additional insight into the profitability of the overall digital investment management business. Digital IM FRE is measured as Adjusted EBITDA for the Digital IM segment, adjusted to reflect the Company’s Digital IM segment as a stabilized business by excluding FRE associated with new investment strategies that have 1) not yet held a first close raising FEEUM; or 2) not yet achieved break-even Adjusted EBITDA only for investment products that may be terminated solely at the Company’s discretion, collectively referred to as “Start-up FRE.” The Company evaluates new investment strategies on a regular basis and excludes Start-Up FRE from Digital IM FRE until such time a new strategy is determined to form part of the Company’s core investment management business. Digital Operating Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre) and Adjusted EBITDA: The Company calculates EBITDAre in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which defines EBITDAre as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from the sale of depreciated property, and impairment of depreciated property. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDAre for the effects of straight-line rental income/expense adjustments and amortization of acquired above- and below-market lease adjustments to rental income, revenues and corresponding costs related to the delivery of installation services, equity-based compensation expense, restructuring and transaction related costs, the impact of other impairment charges, gains or losses from sales of undepreciated land, gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurements, and gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt and hedging instruments. The Company uses EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of our performance because they eliminate depreciation, amortization, and the impact of the capital structure from its operating results. EBITDAre represents a widely known supplemental measure of performance, EBITDA, but for real estate entities, which we believe is particularly helpful for generalist investors in REITs. EBITDAre depicts the operating performance of a real estate business independent of its capital structure, leverage and non-cash items, which allows for comparability across real estate entities with different capital structure, tax rates and depreciation or amortization policies. Additionally, exclusion of gains on disposition and impairment of depreciated real estate, similar to FFO, also provides a reflection of ongoing operating performance and allows for period-over-period comparability. However, because EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and taxes and are not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, their utilization as a cash flow measurement is limited. Distributable Earnings (DE): DE is an after-tax measure that differs from GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations as a result of the following adjustments, including adjustment for our share of similar items recognized by our equity method investments: transaction-related and restructuring charges; realized and unrealized gains and losses, except realized gains and losses from digital assets in Corporate and Other; depreciation, amortization and impairment charges; debt prepayment penalties, and amortization of deferred financing costs, debt premiums and debt discounts; our share of unrealized carried interest, net of associated compensation expense; equity-based compensation expense; equity method earnings from BRSP which is replaced with dividends declared by BRSP; effect of straight-line lease income and expense; impairment of equity investments directly attributable to decrease in value of depreciable real estate held by the investee; non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures; income tax effect on certain of the foregoing adjustments. Income taxes included in DE reflect the benefit of deductions arising from certain expenses that are excluded from the calculation of DE, such as equity-based compensation, as these deductions do decrease actual income tax paid or payable by the Company in any one period. There are no differences in the Company’s measurement of DE and AFFO. Therefore, previously reported AFFO is the equivalent to DE and prior period information has not been recast. DE is presented on a reportable segment basis and for the Company in total. We believe that DE is a meaningful supplemental measure as it reflects the ongoing operating performance of our core business by generally excluding items that are non-core operational in nature and allows for better comparability of operating results period-over-period and to other companies in similar lines of business. Fee Related Earnings Margin (FRE Margin): FRE Margin is calculated by dividing Digital IM FRE by management fee revenues, excluding one-time catch-up fees and/or incentives fees Fee-Earning Equity Under Management (“FEEUM”): Equity for which the Company and its affiliates provides investment management services and derives management fees and/or performance allocations. FEEUM generally represents the basis used to derive fees, which may be based on invested equity, stockholders’ equity, or fair value pursuant to the terms of each underlying investment management agreement. The Company's calculations of FEEUM may differ materially from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Monthly Recurring Revenue (“MRR”): The Company defines MRR as revenue from ongoing services that is generally fixed in price and contracted for longer than 30 days. Run-rate Investment Management Fee Related Earnings: Calculated as Run-rate Investment Management Fee Revenues less compensation expense (excluding equity-based compensation, carried interest and incentive compensation) and administrative expense (excluding placement fees and straight-line rent, net of any cost reimbursements) calculated on annualized basis at the end of the time period being presented. Run-rate Investment Management Fee Revenue: Calculated as FEEUM , inclusive of uncalled contractual commitments expected to be called within their commitment periods by investment vehicles that charge fees on invested capital once called, multiplied by the blended average fee rate as of the most recent reporting period. The Company’s calculations of Run-rate Investment Management Fee Revenues may not be achieved if all uncalled commitments are not called In evaluating the information presented throughout this presentation see definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures. For purposes of comparability, historical data in this presentation may include certain adjustments from prior reported data at the historical period.
