BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

• Raised $434 million of capital across alternative investment businesses during the first half of 2016
• Investment performance summary as of June 30, 2016:
  • Private Equity fund valuations increased 7.9% in the quarter
  • Annualized inception-to-date net IRRs for Credit Opportunities Fund (“FCO”), FCO II and FCO III of 23.7%, 16.2% and 9.8%, respectively
  • Second quarter 2016 net returns of 2.8% for the Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund (“DBSO”) LP and (6.1)% for the Fortress Centaurus Global Fund Ltd
  • 14 of 16 Logan Circle strategies outperformed respective benchmarks in the second quarter

“We posted strong results in the second quarter, with pre-tax distributable earnings per share increasing by more than 60% over the first quarter of the year,” said Fortress CEO Randal Nardone. “Performance highlights included robust realizations in our Credit PE Funds, which contributed to our highest ever first half of distributable earnings for the Credit business, and a substantial increase in valuations in our PE Funds, which drove unrecognized incentive income to approximately $1.2 billion. With substantial embedded value in our funds and on our balance sheet, and strong levels of activity and productivity across our core businesses, we are very optimistic about our prospects for the full year.”

SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS

Fortress’s business model is highly diversified, and management believes that this positions the Company to capitalize on opportunities for investing, capital formation and harvesting profits that can occur at different points in any cycle for our individual businesses. Fortress’s business model generates stable and predictable management fees, which is a function of the majority of Fortress’s alternative AUM residing in long-term investment structures. Fortress’s alternative investment businesses also generate variable incentive income based on performance, and this incentive income can contribute meaningfully to financial results. Balance sheet investments represent a third component of Fortress’s business model, and the Company has built substantial value in these investments, which are made in Fortress funds alongside the funds’ limited partners. The table below summarizes Fortress’s operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The condensed consolidated GAAP statement of operations and balance sheet are presented on pages 12-13 of this press release.

^1	The Assets Under Management presented for Credit includes $2,078 million of AUM related to co-managed funds as of 2Q 2016.

GAAP RESULTS

Fortress recorded a GAAP net loss of $27 million, or a $0.07 loss per diluted Class A share, for the second quarter of 2016, compared to GAAP net income of $5 million, or $0.00 per diluted Class A share, for the second quarter of 2015. Our diluted earnings per share includes the income tax effects to net income (loss) attributable to Class A shareholders from the assumed conversion of Fortress Operating Group units to Class A shares in periods when the effect is dilutive.

The year-over-year decrease in Fortress’s second quarter 2016 GAAP net income was primarily driven by a $76 million decrease in revenues and a $9 million increase in income tax expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $19 million decrease in expenses and a $34 million increase in other income.

The decrease in revenues of $76 million was primarily attributable to decreases of $60 million in incentive income from affiliates and $25 million in management fees from affiliates, partially offset by an increase of $9 million in incentive income from non-affiliates.

The decrease in incentive income from affiliates was primarily related to lower incentive income from the Permanent Capital Vehicles and Credit business. The decrease in management fees from affiliates was primarily related to Permanent Capital Vehicle options granted to Fortress during the second quarter of 2015 and the closing of the Fortress Macro Funds and related managed accounts during the fourth quarter of 2015. These decreases were partially offset by an increase primarily from the Credit Hedge Funds related to a co-management agreement which began in July 2015 and an increase from the Permanent Capital Vehicles as a result of an increase in average AUM.

Incentive income from non-affiliates in the second quarter of 2016 increased year-over-year by $9 million, primarily related to higher incentive income from a Credit PE managed account.

The $19 million decline in expenses was primarily related to lower general, administrative and other expenses (including depreciation and amortization) and lower compensation and benefits, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Other income (loss) in the second quarter of 2016 was a loss of $17 million, down from a loss of $51 million in the second quarter of 2015. The $34 million decrease in the loss was primarily related to a decrease in the net loss from equity method investees, primarily with respect to investments in the Private Equity Funds and Liquid Hedge Funds, net increases in the fair value of our options and common stock in the Permanent Capital Vehicles, and a reduction of expense related to the tax receivable agreement liability. These net increases were partially offset by net realized and unrealized losses in the fair value of derivatives, primarily related to Japanese Yen foreign exchange contracts for the second quarter of 2016, as compared to a gain in the prior period.

The Incentive Eligible NAV Above Incentive Income Threshold presented for Private Equity Funds and Credit PE Funds (except for a certain FCO Managed Account in its investment period and a portion of MSR Opportunities Fund II A and Long Dated Value Fund I, whose capital was above the incentive income threshold as of June 30, 2016), represents total fund NAV. The Incentive Eligible NAV Above Incentive Income Threshold presented for the Permanent Capital Vehicles represents the equity basis that is used to calculate incentive income.
^6	Undistributed Incentive Income - Recognized represents the results of the main fund investments for the Credit Hedge Funds including the impact of realized gains and losses and unrealized losses on sidepocket investments. Undistributed Incentive Income - Unrecognized represents the results of the Private Equity Funds, Credit PE Funds and Liquid and Credit Hedge Fund sidepocket and redeeming capital account (RCA) investments which have not been recognized in Distributable Earnings and will be recognized when realized. The Undistributed Incentive Income presented for the Credit Hedge Funds excludes co-managed funds and certain third party originated funds and for Liquid Hedge Funds, excludes Affiliated Managers. Undistributed Incentive Income for Credit PE Funds includes $13 million of unrealized losses that would have reduced Distributable Earnings if Fortress had settled Japanese Yen foreign exchange derivative contracts used to economically hedge estimated future incentive income it had outstanding as of June 30, 2016. Undistributed Incentive Income for Permanent Capital Vehicles includes incentive income that would have been recorded in Distributable Earnings if Fortress had (i) exercised all of its in-the-money options it holds in the Permanent Capital Vehicles and sold all of the resulting shares and (ii) sold all of its Permanent Capital Vehicle common shares which it received as incentive income, based on their June 30, 2016 closing price.
^7	Net Investment Income includes Unallocated Expenses of $3 million.

Pre-tax DE was $101 million in the second quarter of 2016, down from $137 million in the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to lower incentive income and management fees, partially offset by lower operating expenses and lower principal performance payments.

Management fees were $141 million in the second quarter of 2016, down from $144 million in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower management fees from the Liquid Hedge Funds and Private Equity Funds, partially offset by higher management fees from the Credit Hedge Funds, Permanent Capital Vehicles and Credit PE Funds.

Incentive income in the second quarter of 2016 totaled $131 million, down from $183 million in the second quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to lower incentive income from the Permanent Capital Vehicles and Credit Hedge Funds, partially offset by higher incentive income from the Credit PE Funds.

Earnings from Affiliated Managers totaled $1 million in the second quarter of 2016, up from a loss of $1 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Additionally, Fortress had $1.2 billion in gross undistributed, unrecognized incentive income based on investment valuations as of June 30, 2016. This includes nearly $1.2 billion from our funds and $30 million from options and common shares in our permanent capital vehicles.

The Company’s segment revenues and distributable earnings will fluctuate materially depending upon the performance of its funds and the realization events within its private equity businesses, as well as other factors. Accordingly, the revenues and distributable earnings in any particular period should not be expected to be indicative of future results.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT

As of June 30, 2016, AUM totaled $70.2 billion, down slightly from $70.6 billion as of March 31, 2016. Notably, approximately 87% of alternative AUM was in funds with long-term investment structures as of June 30, 2016.

During the quarter, Fortress’s AUM decreased due to (i) a $0.9 billion decline in the AUM of Affiliated Managers and co-managed funds, (ii) $0.8 billion of capital distributions to investors, (iii) a $0.2 billion decline in AUM related to divested businesses and (iv) $0.1 billion in equity buybacks for the Permanent Capital Vehicles. These decreases to AUM were partially offset by (i) $1.5 billion of net market-driven valuation gains, (ii) a $0.1 billion increase in invested capital and (iii) $0.1 billion of capital raised that was directly added to AUM.

As of June 30, 2016, the Credit Funds and Private Equity Funds had $6.7 billion and $0.6 billion of uncalled capital, respectively, that will become AUM if called. Uncalled capital or dry powder – capital committed to the funds but not invested and generating management fees – includes $2.8 billion that is only available for follow-on investments, management fees and other fund expenses.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

Below is a discussion of second quarter 2016 segment results and business highlights.

Credit:

• Credit AUM up 26% year-over-year to $18.2 billion
• FCO, FCO II, FCO III, FJOF and FJOF II (Yen) recorded annualized inception-to-date net IRRs of 23.7%, 16.2%, 9.8%, 33.3% and 28.3%, respectively, through June 30, 2016
• Recorded $118 million of gross incentive income in the quarter and $350 million of gross incentive income over the last twelve months
• $941 million of gross embedded incentive income that has not yet been recognized in DE

(See supplemental data on pages 19-20 for more detail on Credit results)

The Credit business, which includes our Credit PE Funds and Credit Hedge Funds, generated pre-tax DE of $73 million in the second quarter of 2016, up from $68 million in the second quarter of 2015. The year-over-year increase in DE was primarily driven by higher incentive income and management fees, partially offset by higher operating and profit sharing expenses.

The Credit PE Funds generated pre-tax DE of $47 million in the quarter, up from $32 million in the second quarter of 2015, as gross incentive income increased 42% year-over-year to $85 million. Over the last twelve months, the Credit PE Funds have recognized $298 million of gross incentive income, while gross unrecognized Credit PE incentive income has increased year-over-year to $879 million as of June 30, 2016.

The Credit Hedge Funds generated pre-tax DE of $26 million for the quarter, down from $36 million in the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to lower incentive income. Fortress’s flagship credit hedge fund, DBSO LP, had net returns of 2.8% for the quarter and annualized inception to date net returns of 10.7% as of June 30, 2016.

Private Equity and Permanent Capital Vehicles:

• PE Fund valuations increased 7.9% for the quarter
• $6.6 billion of PE Fund and Permanent Capital Vehicle Incentive Eligible NAV Above Incentive Income Thresholds at quarter end
• Gross unrecognized incentive income of $239 million at quarter end, including $209 million in the PE Funds
• Fortress funds and affiliates sold remaining stake in Gaming & Leisure Properties

(See supplemental data on pages 17-18 for more detail on Private Equity results)

The Private Equity business recorded pre-tax DE of $35 million in the second quarter of 2016, including $18 million for the Permanent Capital Vehicles and $17 million for the Private Equity Funds, down from $76 million in the second quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower incentive income for the Permanent Capital Vehicles, partially offset by lower operating expenses for the Private Equity Funds and higher management fees for the Permanent Capital Vehicles.

Private Equity Fund valuations increased 7.9% in the second quarter, primarily due to NAV appreciation of Fortress Equity Partners, partially offset by a decline in the share price of OneMain Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: OMF). Gross unrecognized PE fund incentive income totaled $209 million at quarter end, up from $22 million in the previous quarter.

Incentive Eligible NAV Above Incentive Income Thresholds totaled $6.6 billion at quarter end, including $4.7 billion for the Permanent Capital Vehicles and $1.9 billion for the PE Funds. As of June 30, 2016, New Residential Investment Corp. (NYSE: NRZ), New Senior Investment Group Inc. (NYSE: SNR), New Media Investment Group Inc. (NYSE: NEWM) and Eurocastle Investment Limited (Euronext Amsterdam: ECT) were at or above their respective incentive income thresholds and eligible to earn incentive income.

During the quarter, Fortress funds and affiliates sold their remaining stake in Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLPI), generating $333 million of gross proceeds from the sale of 10.5 million GLPI shares.

Liquid Hedge Funds:

• Fortress continued to rationalize its Liquid Hedge Funds business, transferring its interests in the Fortress Convex Asia Funds to a third party during the quarter and informing investors post quarter end that it will close the Fortress Centaurus Global Funds; together these strategies represented less than 1% of total Fortress AUM

(See supplemental data on page 21 for more detail on Liquid Hedge Funds results)

The Liquid Hedge Funds recorded a pre-tax DE loss of $6 million in the second quarter of 2016, flat compared to the second quarter of 2015 as lower management fees and net investment income were offset by lower operating expenses and higher earnings from Affiliated Managers.

In June 2016, Fortress transferred its interests as general partner and investment manager of the Fortress Convex Asia Funds to a third party. The Fortress Convex Asia Funds had $177 million of AUM at the time of the transfer. Post quarter end, Fortress informed investors that it will close the Fortress Centaurus Global Funds, which had $182 million in AUM as of June 30, 2016. These actions reflect Fortress’s continued focus on rationalizing an underperforming Liquid Markets segment. Together, the Fortress Convex Asia Funds and Fortress Centaurus Global Funds generated a pre-tax DE loss of $9 million year-to-date through June 30, 2016.

Excluding AUM related to the Fortress Centaurus Global Funds, the Liquid Hedge Funds had $4.4 billion of AUM at quarter end, including $4.1 billion related to Affiliated Managers.

Logan Circle:

• In the second quarter, all 16 Logan Circle strategies generated positive net returns and 14 of 16 strategies outperformed their respective benchmarks
• Strong investment performance resulted in $1.3 billion of market-driven valuation gains in the quarter

(See supplemental data on page 22 for more detail on Logan Circle results)

Logan Circle, our traditional asset management business, recorded pre-tax DE of $2 million for the second quarter of 2016, up from breakeven pre-tax DE for the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to lower operating expenses and higher net investment income.

Logan Circle ended the quarter with $34.1 billion in AUM, up 4% compared to the previous quarter, primarily due to $1.3 billion of market-driven valuation gains.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, 14 of 16 Logan Circle fixed income strategies outperformed their respective benchmarks. Since inception, 15 of 16 Logan Circle fixed income strategies have outperformed their respective benchmarks and eight were ranked in the top quartile of performance for their competitor universe.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL

As of June 30, 2016, Fortress had cash and cash equivalents of $279 million and debt obligations of $261 million.

As of June 30, 2016, Fortress had approximately $1.0 billion of investments in Fortress funds and options in publicly traded permanent capital vehicles and a total of $152 million in outstanding commitments to its funds. In addition, the NAV of Fortress’s investments in its own funds exceeded its segment cost basis by $450 million at quarter end, representing net unrealized gains that have not yet been recognized for segment reporting purposes.

DIVIDEND

Fortress’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per dividend paying share. The dividend is payable on August 16, 2016 to Class A shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 10, 2016.

The declaration and payment of any dividends are at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, which may decide to change its dividend policy at any time. Please see below for information on the U.S. federal income tax implications of the dividend.

NON-GAAP INFORMATION

DE is a supplemental metric used by management to measure Fortress’s operating performance. DE is a measure that management uses to manage, and thus report on, Fortress’s segments, namely: Private Equity, Permanent Capital Vehicles, Credit Hedge Funds, Credit PE Funds, Liquid Hedge Funds and Logan Circle. DE differs from GAAP net income in a number of material ways. For a detailed description of the calculation of pre-tax DE and fund management DE, see Exhibit 3 to this release and note 10 to the financial statements included in the Company’s most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Fortress aggregates its segment results to report consolidated segment results, as shown in the table under “Summary Financial Results” and in the “Total” column of the table under “Consolidated Segment Results (Non-GAAP).” The consolidated segment results are non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that consolidated segment results provide a meaningful basis for comparison among present and future periods. However, consolidated segment results should not be considered a substitute for Fortress’s consolidated GAAP results. The exhibits to this release contain reconciliations of the components of Fortress’s consolidated segment results to the comparable GAAP measures, and Fortress urges you to review these exhibits. Fortress also uses weighted average dividend paying shares and units outstanding (used to calculate pre-tax DE per dividend paying share) and net cash and investments. The exhibits to this release contain reconciliations of these measures to the comparable GAAP measures, and Fortress urges you to review these exhibits.

‘‘Distributable earnings’’ is Fortress’s supplemental measure of operating performance used by management in analyzing segment and overall results. As compared to generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’) net income, distributable earnings excludes the effects of unrealized gains (or losses) on illiquid investments, reflects contingent revenue which has been received as income to the extent it is not expected to be reversed, and disregards expenses which do not require an outlay of assets, whether currently or on an accrued basis. Distributable earnings is reflected on an unconsolidated and pre-tax basis, and, therefore, the interests in consolidated subsidiaries related to Fortress Operating Group units (held by the principals) and income tax expense are added back in its calculation. Distributable earnings is not a measure of cash generated by operations which is available for distribution nor should it be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flow or net income in accordance with GAAP and it is not necessarily indicative of liquidity or cash available to fund the Company’s operations. For a complete discussion of distributable earnings and its reconciliation to GAAP, as well as an explanation of the calculation of distributable earnings impairment, see note 10 to the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Fortress’s management uses distributable earnings:

• in making operating decisions and assessing the performance of each of the Company’s core businesses;
• for planning purposes, including the preparation of annual operating budgets;
• as a valuation measure in strategic analyses in connection with the performance of its funds and the performance of its employees; and
• to assist in evaluating its periodic distributions to equity holders.

Growing distributable earnings is a key component to the Company’s business strategy and distributable earnings is the supplemental measure used by management to evaluate the economic profitability of each of the Company’s businesses and total operations. Therefore, Fortress believes that it provides useful information to investors in evaluating its operating performance. Fortress’s definition of distributable earnings is not based on any definition contained in its amended and restated operating agreement.

“Fund management DE” is equal to pre-tax distributable earnings excluding our direct investment-related results. Fund management DE is comprised of “Pre-tax Distributable Earnings” excluding “Investment Loss (Income)” and “Interest Expense.” Fund management DE and its components are used by management to analyze and measure the performance of our investment management business on a stand-alone basis. Fortress defines segment operating margin to be equal to fund management DE divided by segment revenues. The Company believes that it is useful to provide investors with the opportunity to review our investment management business using the same metrics. Fund management DE and its components are subject to the same limitations as pre-tax distributable earnings, as described above.

“Dividend paying shares and units” represents the number of shares and units outstanding at the end of the period which were entitled to receive dividends or related distributions. The Company believes it is useful for investors in computing the aggregate amount of cash required to make a current per share distribution of a given amount per share. It excludes certain potentially dilutive equity instruments, primarily non-dividend paying restricted Class A share units, and, therefore, is limited in its usefulness in computing per share amounts. Accordingly, dividend paying shares and units should be considered only as a supplement and not an alternative to GAAP basic and diluted shares outstanding. The Company’s calculation of dividend paying shares and units may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Net cash and investments represents cash and cash equivalents plus investments less debt outstanding. The Company believes that net cash and investments is a useful supplemental measure because it provides investors with information regarding the Company’s net investment assets. Net cash and investments excludes certain assets (investments in options, due from affiliates, deferred tax asset, other assets) and liabilities (due to affiliates, accrued compensation and benefits, deferred incentive income and other liabilities) and its utility as a measure of financial position is limited. Accordingly, net cash and investments should be considered only as a supplement and not an alternative to GAAP book value as a measure of the Company’s financial position. The Company’s calculation of net cash and investments may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

The intrinsic value of options in equity method investees totaled $26 million at quarter end and is included in our undistributed, unrecognized incentive income. This value represents incentive income that would have been recorded in Distributable Earnings if Fortress had exercised all of its in-the-money options it holds in the Permanent Capital Vehicles and sold all of the resulting shares at their June 30, 2016 closing price and differs from the fair value derived from option pricing models included in the table above.
