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 9% of our overall portfolio as of December 31, 2021, and deployed a substantial portion of the proceeds into additional investments in SAFE and new loan and net lease originations relating to the Ground Leasebusiness. Adjusted earnings is a non-GAAP metric management uses to assess our execution of this strategy and the performance of our operations. Adjusted earnings is used internally as a supplemental performance measure adjusting for certain items to give management a viewof 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”). 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United StatesofAmerica (“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 effectsofcertain 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 thecalculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies. |

Adjusted Common Equity ReconciliationNote: Amounts in thousands, except for per share data. Q4 ‘21 SAFE mark-to-market value of iStar’sinvestment in Safehold is $2,151m, calculated as iStar’sownership of 36.6m shares of SAFE at the February 23, 2022 closing stock price of $58.78. Q4 ‘20 SAFE mark-to-market value of iStar’sinvestment in Safehold is $2,521m calculated as iStar’sownership of 34.8m shares of SAFE at the December 31, 2020 closing stock price of $72.49. 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’sassets. 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 analternative 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.(1) Net of amounts allocable to non-controlling interests and includes accumulated depreciation and amortization associated withreal estate available and held for sale.(2) Presented diluted for the 2022 3.125% convertible notes which were “in the money” on December 31, 2021 based on their current conversion ratio of 71.9478 shares per $1,000 of principal, which represents a conversion price of $13.90 per share using the Q4 ‘21 average closing stock price.
