·                  Adjusted earnings per diluted common share were $0.93 for the first quarter 2007.

·                  Total revenues reached a record $290.8 million for the first quarter 2007, up 31% year-over year.

NEW YORK – April 24, 2007 – iStar Financial Inc. (NYSE: SFI), a leading publicly traded finance company focused on the commercial real estate industry, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

iStar reported adjusted earnings for the quarter of $0.93 per diluted common share. This compares with $0.90 per diluted common share for the first quarter 2006. Adjusted earnings allocable to common shareholders for the first quarter 2007 were $118.7 million on a diluted basis, compared to $102.6 million for the first quarter 2006. Adjusted earnings represent net income computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for preferred dividends, depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain (loss) from discontinued operations.

Net income allocable to common shareholders for the first quarter was $81.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted common share, compared to $75.5 million, or $0.66 per diluted common share for the first quarter 2006. Please see the financial tables that follow the text of this press release for a detailed reconciliation of adjusted earnings to GAAP net income.

Net investment income for the quarter was $125.6 million, compared to $109.3 million for the first quarter 2006. The year-over-year increase in net investment income was primarily due to continued growth of the Company’s loan portfolio. Net investment income represents interest income, operating lease income and equity in earnings (loss) from joint ventures, less interest expense, operating costs for corporate tenant lease assets and loss on early extinguishment of debt.

---

The Company announced that during the first quarter, it closed a record 44 new financing commitments, for a total of $1.7 billion. Of that amount, $1.1 billion was funded during the first quarter. In addition, the Company funded $273.9 million under pre-existing commitments and received $314.1 million in principal repayments. Cumulative repeat customer business totaled $13.0 billion at March 31, 2007.

Additionally, the Company completed the sale of two non-strategic corporate tenant lease facilities for total proceeds of $34.8 million, net of costs, resulting in a total net book gain of approximately $1.4 million.

The Company also announced that it recently entered into a strategic joint venture that will focus on further expanding its European investment platform. The Company said the joint venture will focus on sale-leaseback, PropCo/OpCo, and other structured financing solutions to capture these and other opportunities in the market.

iStar will partner with London & Regional Properties, a major European real estate investment company, and Moor Park Capital Partners LLP, a well-respected, London-based real estate investment and advisory firm. The joint venture will be managed by Moor Park Capital Partners LLP. iStar said that working with prominent, experienced partners in the joint venture would expand its reach in the European market and is consistent with its strategy of leveraging key European relationships to expand and diversify its financing opportunities outside North America.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company generated adjusted return on average common book equity of 19.2%. The Company’s debt to book equity plus accumulated depreciation/depletion and loan loss reserves, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, was 2.5x at quarter end.

The Company’s net finance margin, calculated as the rate of return on assets less the cost of debt, was 3.27% for the quarter, essentially in-line with the previous quarter.

Capital Markets Summary

During the first quarter, the Company issued a total of $1.05 billion of senior unsecured notes. Specifically, the Company issued $300 million of fixed rate 5.50% notes due 2012; $250 million of fixed rate 5.85% notes due 2017; and $500 million of floating rate notes due 2010 bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 0.35%. The Company said it used the net proceeds to repay outstanding U.S. dollar indebtedness on its unsecured revolving credit facility and for working capital purposes.

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had $1.1 billion outstanding under $2.7 billion in credit facilities. Consistent with its match funding policy under which a one percentage point change in interest rates cannot impact adjusted earnings by more than 2.5%, as of March 31, 2007, a one percentage point increase in rates would have increased the Company’s adjusted earnings by 1.83%.

Risk Management

At March 31, 2007, first mortgages, participations in first mortgages, senior loans and corporate tenant lease investments collectively comprised 81.4% of the Company’s asset base, versus 81.6% in the prior quarter. The Company’s loan portfolio consisted of 67% floating rate and 33% fixed rate loans, with a weighted average maturity of 4.0 years. The weighted average last dollar loan-to-value ratio for all structured finance assets was 64.4%. At quarter end, the Company’s corporate tenant lease assets were 95.0% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.6 years. At March 31, 2007, the weighted average risk ratings of the Company’s structured finance and corporate tenant lease assets were 2.64 and 2.45, respectively.

At March 31, 2007, watch list assets represented 1.27% of total assets versus 1.34% in the prior quarter. During the first quarter, two assets were removed from the watch list, one asset was moved to the non-performing loan (NPL) list and three assets were added to the watch list.

At March 31, 2007, the Company had three loans on its NPL list, representing 0.64% of total assets. The Company’s policy is to stop the accrual of interest on loans placed on NPL status. The Company believes it has adequate collateral to support the book value for each of the watch list and NPL assets. The Company had $57.2 million in loan loss allowances at March 31, 2007 versus $52.2 million at December 31, 2006.

During the first quarter, the Company, under a consensual agreement, took title to the one million-square-foot Comerica Tower, a class A+ office building in the central business district of Detroit, Michigan. This signature asset, which was previously on the Company’s NPL and watch lists, experienced unexpected tenant vacancies. Given its experience and expertise in owning and managing real estate and the quality of the remaining tenants, the Company said it is well equipped to take ownership and manage this asset and is currently comfortable with its basis.

Earnings Guidance

Consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation FD and Regulation G, iStar Financial comments on earnings expectations within the context of its regular earnings press releases. The Company continues to expect diluted adjusted earnings per common share for the fiscal year 2007 of $3.80 - $4.00, and diluted GAAP earnings per common share for the fiscal year 2007 of $2.70 - $2.90, based on expected annual net asset growth of approximately $3.0 billion. The Company continues to expect to fund its long-term net asset growth with a combination of unsecured debt and equity.

Dividend

On April 2, 2007, iStar Financial declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.825. The first quarter dividend will be payable on April 30, 2007 to shareholders of record on April 16, 2007.

		Year Ending
		December 31, 2007
Earnings per diluted common share guidance		$	2.70 - $2.90

Adjusted earnings per diluted common share guidance		$	3.80 - $4.00

 

(1)          Adjusted earnings should be examined in conjunction with net income as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjusted earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is this measure indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. Rather, adjusted earnings is an additional measure the Company uses to analyze how its business is performing. It should be noted that the Company’s manner of calculating adjusted earnings may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.
