Simultaneously, our aim is to simplify our portfolio investments and business lines as quickly as possible. The resultant streamlined organization will be a leading diversified equity REIT with a concentration in select areas demonstrating the most favorable supply/demand dynamics globally that further benefits from an embedded best-in-class investment management operation. We expect to make substantial progress towards this goal during 2017 and have all of this in place no later than the end of next year.”

Post-Merger: Colony NorthStar Update

2017 Updated Guidance

The Company is updating its Core FFO guidance for the year ending 2017 to a range of $1.40 to $1.58 per share, but does not intend to provide updates to Core FFO guidance going forward. In comparison to the original 2017 guidance that was provided in the Investor Presentation related to the merger filed on June 7, 2016, the update includes lower earnings due primarily to: 1) less third party capital raising; 2) less cash available to deploy into investments resulting from the increase of the NSAM special dividend among other reasons; and, 3) accelerating the replacement of higher-yielding, non-core investments with lower-yielding investments that better fit the strategic direction of the Company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Definitions

Colony Fee-Earning Equity Under Management (“FEEUM”)

Colony Fee-Earning Equity Under Management refers to the equity for which Colony provided investment management services and from which it derived management fees and/or performance allocations. FEEUM is presented as of December 31, 2016, and included $0.3 billion of uncalled limited partner capital commitments which did not bear fees. Additionally, $0.3 billion pertained to FEEUM of Colony’s equity-method investment in a German-based asset management platform. Colony’s calculations of FEEUM 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.

Colony Assets Under Management

Colony Assets Under Management refers to the assets for which Colony provided investment management services and included assets for which it may or may not charge management fees and/or performance allocations. AUM is presented as of December 31, 2016 and equaled the sum of: a) the gross fair value of investments held directly by Colony or managed by Colony on behalf of its private funds, co-investments, or other investment vehicles; b) leverage, inclusive of debt held by investments and deferred purchases prices; c) uncalled limited partner capital commitments which Colony was entitled to call from investors during the given commitment period at its discretion pursuant to the terms of their respective funds; and d) with respect to majority-owned and substantially controlled investments consolidated by Colony, gross assets attributable to third-party investors. Colony’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.

CLNS Assets Under Management

Refers to assets which the Company and its affiliates provides investment management services, including assets for which the Company may or may not charge management fees and/or performance allocations. AUM is generally based on reported gross carrying value or cost basis of managed investments as reported by each underlying vehicle at December 31, 2016, proforma for NRF asset monetizations, while legacy NRF real estate assets are based on preliminary merger purchase price accounting figures and retail companies and NorthStar Realty Europe are presented as of February 24, 2017. AUM further includes a) uncalled capital commitments and b) for corporate investments in affiliates with asset and investment management functions, includes the Company’s pro-rata share assets of each affiliate as presented and calculated by the affiliate. Affiliates include RXR Realty LLC, SteelWave, LLC, American Healthcare Investors and Hamburg Trust. The Company's calculations of AUM 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.

NSAM Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”)

NSAM believed that CAD provides investors and management with a meaningful indicator of operating performance. NSAM Management also used CAD, among other measures, to evaluate profitability. In addition, the incentive fees to which NSAM was entitled to pursuant to its prior management agreements with each of its NorthStar Listed Companies were determined using such NorthStar Listed Company’s CAD as a performance metric. NSAM believed that CAD is useful because it adjusted for a variety of items that are consistent with presenting a measure of operating performance (such as transaction costs, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, unrealized gain (loss) on investments and other, realized gain (loss) on investments and other and asset impairment). NSAM adjusted for transaction costs because these costs are not a meaningful indicator of its operating performance. For instance, these transaction costs include costs such as professional fees associated with new investments or restructuring of investments, which are expenses related to specific transactions.

NSAM calculated CAD by subtracting from or adding to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, non-controlling interests attributable to NSAM’s Operating Partnership and the following items: equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization related items, amortization of deferred financing costs, foreign currency gains (losses), impairment on goodwill and other intangible assets, straight-line rent, adjustments for joint ventures and investment funds, unrealized (gain) loss from fair value adjustments, realized gain (loss) on investments and transaction and other costs. These items, if applicable, included any adjustments for unconsolidated ventures. NSAM management also believed that quarterly distributions were principally based on operating performance and its board of directors included CAD as one of several metrics it reviewed to determine quarterly distributions to stockholders.

CAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. In addition, NSAM’s methodology for calculating CAD involved subjective judgment and discretion and may differ from the methodologies used by other comparable companies when calculating the same or similar supplemental financial measures and may not be comparable with these companies.

NRF Cash Available for Distribution

NRF believed that CAD provides investors and management with a meaningful indicator of operating performance. NRF also believed that CAD was useful because it adjusted for a variety of items that are consistent with presenting a measure of operating performance (such as transaction costs, N-Star CDO equity interests, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, realized gain (loss) on investments, provision for loan losses, asset impairment, non-recurring bad debt expense and certain interest income and expense items). NRF adjusted for transaction costs because these costs were not a meaningful indicator of its operating performance. For instance, these transaction costs included costs such as professional fees associated with new investments or restructuring of investments, which are expenses related to specific transactions. NRF adjusted for N-Star CDO equity interests to represent the net economic interest generated from the N-Star CDO equity interests. This adjustment was a component of NRF’s ongoing return on such investments, and therefore, was adjusted in CAD as it provided investors and management with a meaningful indicator of NRF’s operating performance. Furthermore, CAD adjusted N-Star CDO bond discounts to record such investments on an effective yield basis over the expected weighted average life of the investment. N-Star CDO bond discounts related to repurchased CDO bonds of consolidated CDO financing transactions at a discount to par. These CDO bonds typically have a low interest rate and the majority of the return was generated from repurchasing the CDO bonds at a discount to expected recovery value. Because the return generated through the accretion of the discount was a meaningful contributor to NRF’s operating performance, such accretion was adjusted in CAD. The computation for the accretion of the discount under U.S. GAAP and CAD was the same. However, for CDO financing transactions that are consolidated under U.S. GAAP, the CDO bonds were not presented as an investment but rather were eliminated in NRF’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, NRF adjusted for distributions and adjustments to joint venture partners, which represented the net return generated from NRF investments allocated to our non-controlling interests. For NRF’s owned hotels, NRF’s CAD calculation did not make an adjustment for furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) reserves. CAD fluctuated from period to period based upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the timing and amount of investments, repayments and asset sales, capital raised, use of leverage, changes in the expected yield of investments and the overall conditions in commercial real estate and the economy generally. Management also believed that quarterly distributions were principally based on operating performance and NRF’s board of directors included CAD as one of several metrics it reviewed to determine quarterly distributions to stockholders.

NRF calculated CAD by subtracting from or adding to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, non-controlling interests and the following items: depreciation and amortization items including straight-line rental income or expense, amortization of above/below market leases, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of discount on financings and other and equity-based compensation; net economic interest generated from N-Star CDO equity interests; accretion of consolidated N-Star CDO bond discounts; net interest income in consolidated N-Star CDOs; unrealized gain (loss) from the change in fair value; realized gain (loss) on investments and other, excluding accelerated amortization related to sales of CDO bonds or other investments; provision for loan losses, net; impairment on depreciable property; non-recurring bad debt expense; acquisition gains or losses; distributions and adjustments related to joint venture partners; transaction costs; foreign currency gains (losses); impairment on goodwill and other intangible assets; and one-time events pursuant to changes in U.S. GAAP and certain other non-recurring items.

CAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. In addition, NRF’s methodology for calculating CAD involved subjective judgment and discretion and may differ from the methodologies used by other comparable companies, including other REITs, when calculating the same or similar supplemental financial measures and may not be comparable with these companies.

Colony Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”)

Colony calculated funds from operations ("FFO") in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Included in FFO are gains and losses from sales of assets which are not depreciable real estate such as loans receivable, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as well as investments in debt and other equity securities, as applicable.

Colony computed core funds from operations ("Core FFO") by adjusting FFO for the following items, including Colony’s share of these items recognized by its unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures: (i) gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate, net of depreciation, amortization and impairment previously adjusted for FFO; (ii) stock compensation expense; (iii) effects of straight-line rent revenue and straight-line rent expense on ground leases; (iv) amortization of acquired above- and below-market lease values; (v) amortization of deferred financing costs and debt premiums and discounts; (vi) unrealized fair value gains or losses on derivative instruments and on foreign currency remeasurements; (vii) acquisition-related expenses, merger and integration costs; (viii) amortization and impairment of finite-lived intangibles related to investment management contracts and customer relationships; (ix) gain on remeasurement of consolidated investment entities and the effect of amortization thereof; (x) non-real estate depreciation and amortization; (xi) change in fair value of contingent consideration; and (xii) deferred tax effect on the foregoing adjustments. Also, beginning with the first quarter of 2016, Colony’s share of Core FFO from its interest in Colony Starwood Homes (NYSE: SFR) represented its percentage interest multiplied by SFR's reported Core FFO, which may differ from Colony’s calculation of Core FFO. Refer to SFR's filings for its definition and calculation of Core FFO.

FFO and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income as indications of operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity, nor as indications of the availability of funds for our cash needs, including funds available to make distributions. FFO and Core FFO should not be used as supplements to or substitutes for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. Colony’s calculations of FFO and Core FFO may differ from methodologies utilized by other REITs for similar performance measurements, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to those of other REITs.

Colony used FFO and Core FFO as supplemental performance measures because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. Colony also believed that, as widely recognized measures of the performance of REITs, FFO and Core FFO would be used by investors as a basis to compare its operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO and Core FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of Colony’s properties that resulted from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of its properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact Colony’s results from operations, the utility of FFO and Core FFO as measures of Colony’s performance was limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO and Core FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, Colony’s FFO and Core FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO and Core FFO. Accordingly, FFO and Core FFO should be considered only as supplements to net income as a measure of Colony’s performance.

NRF Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

NRF believed NOI was a useful metric of the operating performance of its real estate portfolio in the aggregate. Portfolio results and performance metrics represented 100% for all consolidated investments and represented NRF’s ownership percentage for unconsolidated joint ventures. Net operating income represented total property and related revenues, adjusted for: (i) amortization of above/below market rent; (ii) straight line rent; (iii) other items such as adjustments related to joint ventures and non-recurring bad debt expense; and (iv) less property operating expenses. However, the usefulness of NOI is limited because it excluded general and administrative costs, interest expense, transaction costs, depreciation and amortization expense, realized gains (losses) from the sale of properties and other items under U.S. GAAP and capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of properties, all of which may be significant economic costs. NOI may fail to capture significant trends in these components of U.S. GAAP net income (loss) which further limits its usefulness.

NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. In addition, NRF’s methodology for calculating NOI involved subjective judgment and discretion and may differ from the methodologies used by other comparable companies, including other REITs, when calculating the same or similar supplemental financial measures and may not be comparable with these companies.

(3)	For CAD, discounts expected to be realized on N-Star CDO bonds for consolidated CDOs are accreted on an effective yield basis based on expected maturity. For deconsolidated N-Star CDOs, N-Star CDO bond accretion is already included in net income attributable to common stockholders.
(4)	The three months ended December 31, 2016 includes an adjustment to exclude a $30.0 million net gain related to the sale of real estate investments, a $22.4 million gain related to the foreclosure of real estate, $(29.3) million non-cash loss related to securities in NRF's consolidated CDOs, $(1.4) million loss related to the sale of manufactured homes and $0.8 million of other real estate gains.
