NEW YORK, October 28, 2024

Safehold Inc. (NYSE: SAFE) reported results for the third quarter 2024.

SAFE published a presentation detailing these results which can be found on its website, www.safeholdinc.com in the “Investors” section.

Highlights from the earnings announcement include:

¾Q3‘24 revenue was $90.7 million
¾Q3‘24 net income attributable to common shareholders was $19.3 million, or $26.1 million excluding the portion of the quarter’s non-cash general provision for credit losses on prior period balances1
¾Q3‘24 earnings per share was $0.27, or $0.37 excluding the portion of the quarter’s non-cash general provision for credit losses on prior period balances1
¾Closed $104 million of new originations in Q3’24, including three new ground leases for $72 million2 and one leasehold loan for $32 million3
¾Purchased joint venture partner’s ownership interest in all ground leases acquired by the venture to date for a total commitment of $69 million4

“This was a productive quarter for Safehold, supplementing new originations with an opportunistic joint venture buyout that is expected to grow earnings and further diversify the portfolio,” said Jay Sugarman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “While rate volatility remains disruptive to real estate and transaction activity, we’re seeing positive trends in

1 The Company electively enhanced its general provision for credit losses methodology during the quarter, and applied the updated methodology to prior period balances in accordance with GAAP. Of the quarter’s $7.5 million total non-cash general provision for credit losses expense, $6.8 million represents the expense related to prior period balances. See the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 for additional information.

2 Gross of joint venture partner’s 45% participation in one new investment in the third quarter in the amount of $10.7m. $72m total commitments includes $19m of forward commitments that have not yet been funded as of 9/30/24. Such funding commitments are subject to certain conditions. There can be no assurance that Safehold will fully fund these transactions.

3 Gross of leasehold loan partner’s 47% participation interest. The leasehold loan did not fund during the third quarter and there can be no assurance that Safehold will fully fund its commitment.

4 Gross purchase price of $80 million for 9 ownership interests within the joint venture, including forward commitments and purchase premium. The $69 million net purchase price excludes one investment that was originated early in the third quarter and is included within the new originations metrics.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, and EPS excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, are non-GAAP measures used as supplemental performance measures to give management and investors a view of net income and EPS more directly derived from operating activities in the period in which they occur. It should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to common shareholders as shown in our consolidated statements of operations. EPS excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances is calculated as net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, divided by the weighted average number of common shares. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common shareholders or EPS, respectively (in each case determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”)). These measures may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented below.

12 Safehold | The Ground Lease Company | October 2024 Earnings Reconciliation APPENDIX Note: Figures in millions except for per share amounts. Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding merger & Caret related costs, non-recurring gains and general provision for credit losses on prior period balances and EPS excluding merger & Caret related costs, non-recurring gains and general provision for credit losses on prior period balances are non-GAAP measures used as supplemental performance measures to give management and investors a view of net income and EPS more directly derived from operating activities in the period in which they occur. Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding merger & Caret related costs, non-recurring gains and general provision for credit losses on prior period balances is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, prior to the effect of non-recurring gains, and charges related to the merger, administration of Caret, origination of the Secured Term Loan to Star Holdings, goodwill impairment and general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, all as adjusted to exclude corresponding amounts allocable to noncontrolling interests. It should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as shown in our consolidated statements of operations. EPS excluding merger & Caret related costs, non-recurring gains and general provision for credit losses on prior period balances is calculated as net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding merger & Caret related costs, non-recurring gains and general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, divided by the weighted average number of diluted common shares. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders or EPS, respectively (in each case determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”)). These measures may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other companies. a. Caret related income was $0.6m YTD’24. The income was due to redemption of Caret units at original purchase price reduced by an amount equal to previous cash distributions in connection with the sale of a ground lease in 2022. Merger and Caret related costs were $0.1m in Q3’23 and $22.1m YTD’23, including $10.1m expenses and reserves primarily related to legal, tax, accounting and advisors, $6.7m transfer tax and $5.3m G&A primarily related to the termination of pre-existing iStar incentive plans and other miscellaneous items. General provision for credit losses on prior period balances were $6.8m in Q3’24 and YTD’24. There were no non-recurring gains for these periods. All numbers net of impact attributable to noncontrolling interests. b. Includes general provision for credit losses on prior period balances of $6.6m on consolidated assets and $0.2m on unconsolidated assets in Q3’24 and YTD’24. 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net income (loss) attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders $19,331 ($122,969) $79,724 ($96,157) Add: Impairment of goodwill - 145,365 - 145,365 Add: Merger & Caret related costsa - 60 - 22,082 Add: General provision for credit losses on prior period balancesb 6,804 - 6,804 - Net income excluding merger & Caret related costs, non-recurring gains for the period and general provision for credit losses on prior period balances $26,135 $22,456 $86,528 $71,290 Impact attributable to noncontrolling interestsa - - (576) - Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding merger & Caret related costs, non-recurring gains for the period and general provision for credit losses on prior period balances $26,135 $22,456 $85,952 $71,290 Weighted average number of common shares - basic 71,436 67,979 71,347 65,214 Weighted average number of common shares - diluted 71,540 67,979 71,414 65,214 EPS excluding merger & Caret related costs, non-recurring gains for the period and general provision for credit losses on prior period balances (basic & diluted) $0.37 $0.33 $1.20 $1.09 For the three months ended September 30, For the nine months ended September 30,

In connection with Feb'22 sale, we were obligated to seek to provide a public market listing for the Series A Caret Units by Q1'24. Because public market liquidity was not achieved, the investors in the initial round had the option to cause their Series A Caret units to be redeemed at their original purchase price reduced by an amount equal to the amount of subsequent cash distributions on such units. In April 2024, the ~$19m Series A round was redeemed. 2H’18: Formed a subsidiary called “Caret” designed to help recognize the value of the capital appreciation above Cost Basis.

15 Safehold | The Ground Lease Company | October 2024 Unrealized Capital Appreciation Details APPENDIX Refer to the Glossary in the Appendix for a definition of Owned Residual Portfolio, Unrealized Capital Appreciation (“UCA”), and“Combined Property Value” (“CPV”). SAFE relies in part on CBRE’s valuations of the CPV of our portfolio in calculating UCA. SAFE may utilize management’s estimate of CPV for ground lease investments recently acquired that CBRE has not yet evaluated. For construction deals, CPV represents the cost to build inclusive of the land. CPV is a hypothetical value of the as-improved subject property, based on an assumed ownership structure different from the actual ownership structure. CPV does not take into account the in-place Ground Lease or other contractual obligations and is based on the hypothetical condition that the property is leased atmarket rent at stabilized levels, where applicable, as of the valuation date, without consideration of any costs to achieve stabilization through lease up and associated costs. In determining the CPV of each property, CBRE has utilized the sales comparison approach, based on sales of comparable properties, adjusted for differences, and the income capitalization approach, based on the subject property’s income-producing capabilities. The assumptions applied to determine values for these purposes vary by property type and are selected for use based on a number of factors, including information supplied by our tenants, market data and other factors. We currently intend that the CPV associated with each Ground Lease in our portfolio will be valued approximately every 12 calendar months and no less frequently than every 24 months. Lagging valuations may not accurately capture declines in our UCA, CPV or derived metrics such as GLTV, and such declines could be reflected in future periods, and any such decline could be material. The calculation of the estimated UCA in our Owned Residual Portfolio is subject to a number of limitations and qualifications. We do not typically receive full financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the commercial properties being operated on the land subject to our Ground Leases. In some cases, we are prohibited by confidentiality provisions in our Ground Leases from disclosing information that we receive from our tenants to CBRE. Additionally, we do not independently investigate or verify the information supplied by our tenants, but rather assume the accuracy and completeness of such information and the appropriateness of the accounting methodology or principles, assumptions, estimates and judgments made by our tenants in providing the information to us. Our calculation of UCA in our Owned Residual Portfolio is not subject to U.S. GAAP and will not be subject to independent audit. We conduct rolling property valuations; therefore, our estimated UCA and CPV may not reflect current market conditions and may decline materially in the future. There can be no assurance that we will realize any incremental value from the UCA in our Owned Residual Portfolioor that the market price of our common stock will reflect any value attributable thereto. We will generally not be able to realize value from UCA through near term transactions, as properties are leased to tenants pursuant to long-term leases. For more information on UCA and CPV, including additional limitations and qualifications, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 28, 2024 and the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as updated from time to time in our subsequent periodic reports, filed with the SEC. Certain interests in our subsidiary Safehold GL Holdings LLC (“Portfolio Holdings”) are structured to track and capture UCA to the extent UCA is realized upon sale of our land and Ground Leases or certain other specified events. Under a shareholder-approved plan, management was granted up to 15% of the total authorized Caret units, 1,371,254 of which are currently outstanding and some of which remains subject to time-based vesting. See our 2024 Proxy Statement for additional information on the long-term incentive plan. As of September 30, 2024, we had sold an aggregate of 122,500 Caret units to third-party investors, including affiliates of MSD Partners, L.P. and received a commitment for the sale of 28,571 Caret units from an entity affiliated with one of our independent directors. As of September 30, 2024, we own approximately 84.3% of the outstanding Caret units. In connection with the sale of 137,142 Caret units in February 2022 (including the 28,571 which did not close), we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide public market liquidity for such units,or securities into which they may be exchanged, prior to the second anniversary of such sales. Because public market liquidity was not achieved by February 2024, the investors in the February 2022 transaction had theright to cause their Caret units purchased in February 2022 to be redeemed at the purchase price less the amounts of distributions previously made on such units. In April 2024, such outstanding units were redeemed.

16 Safehold | The Ground Lease Company | October 2024 Glossary APPENDIX Aggregate Cost Basis Represents Cost Basis plus unfunded commitments of the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. For unfunded commitments, it represents the aggregate future amount to be paid under the commitments. Aggregate Gross Book Value Represents the Gross Book Value plus unfunded commitments of the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. For unfunded commitments, it represents the aggregate future amount to be paid under the commitments. Annualized Cash Yield Calculated as the annualized base Cash Rent plus Percentage Rent divided by Cost Basis, each for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. Annualized Yield Calculated as the annualized base Net Rent plus Percentage Rent divided by GBV, each for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. Caret Adjusted Yield Using the same cash flows as Inflation Adjusted Yield except that initial cash outlay (i.e., Safehold’s basis) is reduced by ~$1.7b, which amount corresponds to Safehold’s share (~84%) of the most recent third-party Caret valuation of $2.0b from the Series B round (see page 10 for more detail on the Caret valuation). Cash Interest Rate The current cash interest rate of debt. Cash Rent Represents in-place base ground lease income recognized excluding straight-line rent, amortization of lease intangibles, and non-cash income from sales-type leases, each for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. Combined Property Value (CPV) The current combined value of the land, buildings and improvements relating to a commercial property, as if there was no ground lease on the land at the property. CPV is generally based on independent appraisals; however, the Company will use actual sales prices/management estimates for recently acquired and originated ground leases for which appraisals are not yet available. For construction projects, CPV represents the total cost associated with the acquisition, development, and construction of the project. Core Ground Lease Portfolio Represents the portfolio of assets owned at the date indicated and our proportionate share of two unconsolidated joint venture assets, and excludes the Star Holdings Loan, Leasehold Loan Fund and GL Plus Fund. Cost Basis Represents the historical purchase price of an asset in the Core Ground Lease Portfolio, including capitalized acquisition costs of the assets. Debt Effective Interest Rate Represents the all-in stated interest rate over the term of debt from funding through maturity based on the contractual payments owed excluding the effect of debt premium, discount and deferred financing costs. Economic Yield Computed similarly to effective yield on a bond, the Economic Yield is calculated using projected cash flows beginning 10/1/2024 for the duration of the lease, with an initial cash outflow and a residual value equal to our cost of the land. The cash flows incorporate contractual fixed escalators and the impact of an assumed inflation scenario on variable rate escalators such as (i) CPI adjustments and CPI lookbacks, (ii) percentage of revenues the building generates and/or (iii) periodic fair market valuations of the land. For CPI adjustments and CPI lookbacks, this metric uses the Federal reserve long-term 2.0% CPI target for the duration of the leases. For ground leases that have other forms of inflation capture including fair market value resets and percentage rent based on building revenue, this metric assumes fair market value and building revenue increase by the Federal Reserve long-term 2.0% CPI target annually. Target yields and cash flow multiples assume no default, full rent collections, no destruction and no casualty events. GAAP Rent In-place revenue from operating and sales-type leases recognized under GAAP, each for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. GL Plus Fund The Company’s investment fund that targets the origination and acquisition of Ground Leases for commercial real estate projects that are in a pre-development phase. Gross Book Value (GBV) Represents Cost Basis plus accrued interest on sales-type leases of the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. The amount is not reduced for general provision for credit losses allowances. Ground Lease-to-Value (GLTV) Calculated as the Aggregate GBV divided by CPV of the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. Safehold uses this metric to assess risk and our seniority level in a real estate capital structure. Similar to the concept of the LTV metric used in the loan market. Inflation Adjusted Yield For CPI adjustments and CPI lookbacks, Inflation Adjusted Yield is computed in the same manner as Economic Yield, assuming a specific alternative inflation scenario for the duration of the leases. For ground leases that have other forms of inflation capture including fair market value resets and percentage rent based on building revenue, Inflation Adjusted Yield is based on Economic Yield and assumes fair market value and building revenue increase by the assumed inflation scenario annually. Net Rent GAAP Rent less depreciation & amortization for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. This includes the amortization of a right of use asset recorded as real estate expense (totals $1.0m annualized). Includes our proportionate share of GAAP rent and amortization from our equity method investments, each for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. Owned Residual Portfolio Represents the portfolio of properties under which Safehold owns a ground lease and reflects Safehold’s right to the land, property and tenant improvements at the end of the lease. The current value of the Owned Residual Portfolio is typically represented by the Combined Property Value or CPV of our portfolio. Percentage Rent Represents TTM cash percentage rent paid by the property. Property NOI Represents the net operating income (NOI) of the building/Safehold’s ground lease tenant prior to paying ground lease rent. Rent Coverage The ratio of Property NOI as provided by the building owner or estimated Property NOI to the annualized Cash Rent due to Safehold. The Company adjusts Property NOI for material non-recurring items and uses estimates of the stabilized Property NOI if it does not receive current tenant information and for properties under construction or transition, in each case based on leasing activity at the property and available market information, including leasing activity at comparable properties in the relevant market. Safehold /Safehold Ground Lease A ground lease originated and structured by Safehold. Unrealized Capital Appreciation (UCA) Calculated as the difference between CPV of the Core Ground Lease Portfolio and the Aggregate Cost Basis. The Company tracks UCA because we believe it provides relevant information with regard to the three key investment characteristics of our ground leases: (1) the safety of our position in a tenant’s capital structure; (2) the quality of the long-term cash flows generated by our portfolio rent that increases over time; and (3) increases and decreases in CPV of the portfolio that will ultimately revert to us.

17 Safehold | The Ground Lease Company | October 2024 Endnotes APPENDIX (1) Presentation assumes 100% ownership of closed deals. Our JV partner participated in 1 deal at closing this quarter and purchased 45% of the commitment. $72m total commitments includes $19m of forward commitments that have not yet been funded as of 9/30/24. There can be no assurance that Safehold will fully fund these transactions. (2) Presentation represents JV partner’s 45% ownership that Safehold purchased (including purchase premium). $80m total consideration includes $32m of forward commitments that had not yet been funded as of purchase date of 8/30/24 and which SAFE assumed from JV partner. There can be no assurance that Safehold will fully fund these transactions. $69m in the presentation represents $80m total consideration less 1 deal closed during Q3’24 which is included in new origination metrics for this quarter. Other metrics related to JV buyout include that deal. (3) CPV used to calculate GLTV is generally based on independent appraisals; however, the Company will use actual sales prices / management estimates for recently acquired and originated ground leases for which appraisals are not yet available. We currently intend that the CPV associated with each Ground Lease in our portfolio will be valued approximately every 12 calendar months and no less frequently than every 24 months. (4) The Company uses estimates of the stabilized Property NOI for Rent Coverage calculations if it does not receive current tenant information or if the properties are under construction / in transition. These estimates are based on leasing activity at the property, third party appraisals and available market information, such as leasing activity at comparable properties in the relevant market. (5) Represents Core Ground Lease Portfolio. (6) The portfolio is presented using Aggregate Gross Book Value. As of 9/30/24, the portfolio included $71m of Safehold’s forward commitments that have not yet been funded (such funding commitments are subject to certain conditions). There can be no assurance Safehold will fully fund these transactions. (7) Original Safehold target commitment of $275m and original JV partner target commitment of $225m. Each party's commitment is discretionary. On 8/30/24, Safehold purchased JV partner’s outstanding commitment for all existing assets in the JV and now owns 100% for those assets. The venture remains in place, and the JV partner’s participation right in certain qualifying ground lease investment opportunities expired on 9/30/24. $400m remaining capital (Safehold $220m, JV partner $180m) represents original $500m target commitment (Safehold $275m, JV partner $225m) less funded amount of $100m (Safehold $55m, JV partner $45m). (8) Square footage and total units/keys are based on information provided by the building owners, public records, broker reports and other third-party sources and are based on the primary usage of the building. No assurance can be made to the accuracy of these figures. (9) Total funded amount for the buyout is $48m (including purchase premium). The $46m in the presentation excludes $2m funding from 1 deal closed during Q3’24 which is included in new originations metrics for this quarter. (10) Includes $1.5 million preferred equity funding. The Company entered into a discretionary commitment to fund up to $9.0 million of preferred equity in an entity that owns the leasehold interest under one of the Company’s office Ground Leases located in Washington, DC. This preferred equity position is intended to fund any operating cash flow deficits and leasing capital necessary at the property as our tenant explores potential re-leasing or a leasehold sale. In-place cash flows at the property covered ground rent through September 30, 2024, though a semi-annual property tax payment made in September 2024 produced a shortfall, which resulted in a $1.5 million funding. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company funded $1.5 million of the commitment which is included in “Deferred expenses and other assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. In addition, the Company has recognized $1.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of interest income from sales-type leases from the Ground Lease in its consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. (11) Does not include $71m of Safehold’s forward commitments. (12) Annualized Yield is based on GAAP treatment, which assumes 0% growth / inflation environment for the remaining term of existing legacy ground leases that have structures with a component of variable rent. (13) Certain acquired leases with legacy ground rent structures have a component of variable rent, including percentage rent, fair market value reset, or CPI-based escalators not captured in Annualized Yield. These leases have $0 go forward economics under GAAP. These leases (16% of portfolio) earns 3.1% for Annualized Yield but earns 6.0% Economic Yield when using 2.0% annual growth / inflation. (14) Safehold originated ground leases typically include a periodic rent increase based on prior years’ cumulative CPI growth with the initial lookback year generally starting between lease year 11 and 21. These CPI lookbacks are generally capped between 3.0% - 3.5% per annum compounded. In the event cumulative inflation growth for the lookback period exceeds the cap, the excess is not captured by the CPI lookback. Other forms of inflation capture include fair market value resets and percentage rent, typically for acquired ground leases. 83% of our portfolio as determined by cash rent has some form of a CPI lookback and 94% of our portfolio as determined by cash rent has some form of inflation capture. (15) Illustrative Caret Adjusted Yield uses the 5.9% Inflation Adjusted Yield as the starting point, and reduce initial cash outlay (i.e. Safehold’s basis) by ~$1.7b, which is Safehold’s 84% ownership of Caret using its most recent $2 billion valuation (In conjunction with the merger, MSD committed in Series B round to buy 1.0% of the total outstanding Caret Units for $20m with no redemption rights in November 2022 and certain other investors committed to buy an aggregate of 22,500 Caret Units on the same terms and conditions in November 2022. Purchase closed on 3/31/23 in connection with the merger. In April 2024, the Series A round was redeemed.)

Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and any subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for further discussion of these and other investment considerations. The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. This presentation also contains modeling and information relating to potential inflation, which are presented for illustrative purposes only, and are not guarantees or otherwise necessarily indicative of future performance. In addition, this presentation contains certain figures, projections and calculations based in part on management’s underlying assumptions. Management believes these assumptions are reasonable; however, other reasonable assumptions could provide differing outputs. Important Note re COVID-19: Readers of this presentation are cautioned that, due to the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic and its after-effects, including the resulting shifts in the office sector, will have a delayed adverse impact on our financial results, along with the related uncertainty, our results for the period may not be indicative of future results. Similarly, our Rent Coverage and Unrealized Capital Appreciation as of September 30, 2024 may decline with respect to certain properties in future periods due to the continuing impact of the pandemic and its after-effects, including the resulting shifts in the office sector, and the fact that certain metrics that we report and monitor may not reflect the full effects of the pandemic and its after-effects as of their dates of determination. Readers are urged to read our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 when it is filed with the SEC for a more fulsome discussion of our quarterly results, including the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included therein. Merger Transaction / Basis of Presentation: On November 10, 2022, Safehold Inc. ("Old Safe") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with iStar Inc. ("iStar"), and on March 31, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Old Safe merged with and into iStar, at which time Old Safe ceased to exist, and iStar continued as the surviving corporation and changed its name to "Safehold Inc." (the "Merger"). For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a "reverse acquisition" in which iStar is considered the legal acquirer and Old Safe is considered the accounting acquirer. As a result, the historical financial statements of Old Safe became the historical financial statements of Safehold Inc. Unless context otherwise requires, references to "iStar" refer to iStar prior to the Merger, and references to "we," "our" and "the Company" refer to the business and operations of Old Safe and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Merger and to Safehold Inc. (formerly known as iStar Inc.) and its consolidated subsidiaries following the consummation of the Merger. Investor Relations Contact Pearse Hoffmann 212.930.9400 investors@safeholdinc.com
