We make forward-looking statements in this presentation and other filings we make with the SEC within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and such statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided by the same. Forward-looking statements are
subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control.
These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our business, financial
condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. When we use the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may” or similar expressions, we intend to identify forward-looking
statements. Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be forward-looking: our business and
investment strategy; our operating results; our ability to obtain and maintain financing arrangements; the return on equity,
the yield on investments and risks associated with investing in real estate assets, including changes in business conditions
and the general economy.
The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking
into account all information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events.
These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are
known to us. Some of these factors are described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as included in Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc.’s (“ARI”)
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and other periodic reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of
operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement
speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to
predict those events or how they may affect us. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to,
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This presentation may contain statistics and other data that in some cases has been obtained from or compiled from
information made available by third-party service providers.
Past performance is not indicative nor a guarantee of future returns.  
Index performance and yield data are shown for illustrative purposes only and have limitations when used for comparison

The Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) reflects the returns on the investments in the Company’s portfolio underwritten by the Manager, calculated on a weighted average basis assuming no dispositions, early
prepayments or defaults but assumes extensions are exercised and that the cost of borrowings and derivative instruments under the Company’s master repurchase agreement with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (the
“Wells Facility”) remains constant over the remaining terms and extension terms under the facility. The calculation also assumes extension options on the Wells Facility with respect to the Hilton CMBS are
exercised. With respect to the mezzanine loan for the New York City multifamily condominium conversion that closed in December 2012 and the mezzanine loan for the New York City condominium construction
that closed in January 2013, the IRR calculation assumes certain estimates with respect to the timing and magnitude of future fundings for the remaining commitments and associated loan repayments, as well as
assuming no defaults.  IRR is the annualized effective compounded return rate that accounts for the time-value of money and represents the rate of return on an investment over a holding period expressed as a
percentage of the investment. It is the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash outflows (the costs of investment) equal to the net present value of cash inflows (returns on investment). It is derived
from the negative and positive cash flows resulting from or produced by each transaction (or for a transaction involving more than one investment, cash flows resulting from or produced by each of the
investments), whether positive, such as investment returns, or negative, such as transaction expenses or other costs of investment, taking into account the dates on which such cash flows occurred or are expected
to occur, and compounding interest accordingly. See “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and subsequent filings by ARI,  for a discussion of
some of the factors that could adversely impact the returns received by the Company from the investments over time.  Substantially all of the Company’s borrowings under the Company's master repurchase
facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the "JPMorgan Facility") were repaid.  The Company's ability to achieve its levered weighted average underwritten IRR is additionally dependent upon the Company
re-borrowing approximately $53 million under the JPMorgan Facility or any replacement facility.  Without such re-borrowing, the levered weighted average IRR with regard to its portfolio of first mortgage
loan will be significantly lower than the amount shown above, as indicated by the current weighted average underwritten IRR on slide 8.

Borrowings under the Company’s JPMorgan Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points, or 2.7% at June 30, 2013. The IRR calculation further assumes the JPMorgan Facility or any replacement facility will remain available over the life of these
investments.

The
IRR
for
the
investments
shown
in

reflect
the
returns
underwritten
by
the
Manager,
calculated
on
a
weighted
average
basis
assuming
no
dispositions,
early
prepayments
or

but
assumes
extensions
are
exercised
and
that
the
cost
of
borrowings and derivative instruments under the Wells Facility remains constant over the remaining terms and extension terms under this facility. The calculation also assumes extension options on the Wells Facility with respect to the Hilton CMBS are
exercised. With respect to the mezzanine loan for the New York City multifamily condominium conversion that closed in December 2012 and the mezzanine loan for the New York City condominium construction that closed in January 2013, the IRR calculation
assumes certain estimates with respect to the timing and magnitude of future fundings for the remaining commitments and associated loan repayments, as well as assuming no defaults.  IRR is the
annualized effective compounded return rate that accounts for the

and
represents
the

of
return
on
an
investment
over
a
holding
period
expressed
as
a

of
the
investment.
It
is
the

rate
that
makes
the

value
of
all
cash
outflows
(the
costs
of
investment)
equal
to
the
net
present
value
of
cash

(returns
on

It
is
derived
from
the
negative

resulting
from

(or

of
the
investments), whether positive, such as investment returns, or negative, such as transaction expenses or other costs of investment, taking into account the dates on which such cash flows occurred or are expected to occur, and compounding interest accordingly.
There can be no assurance the actual IRRs will equal the underwritten IRRs shown in the table. See “Risk Factors”
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and subsequent filings by ARI,  for a discussion of some

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FINANCE, INC. (“ARI”)
Definition of Assets Under Management
                                                                                            –  refers to the investments managed by Apollo Global Management, LLC, together with its subsidiaries
(“Apollo”), or with respect to which Apollo has control, including capital Apollo has the right to call from its investors pursuant to their capital commitments to various
funds managed by Apollo. AUM equals the sum of: (i) the fair value of Apollo’s private equity investments plus the capital that Apollo is entitled to call from its investors
pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to the extent a fund is within the commitment period in which management fees are calculated based on total
commitments to the fund; (ii) the net asset value of the credit funds managed by Apollo, other than certain collateralized loan obligations or certain CLOs, which Apollo
measures by using the mark-to-market  value of the aggregate principal amount  of the underlying CLO and collateralized debt obligation credit funds that have a fee
generating basis other than mark-to-market assets or liabilities, plus used or available leverage and/or capital commitments; (iii) the gross asset value or net asset value
of Apollo’s real estate entities and the structured portfolio company investments included within the funds Apollo manages, which includes the leverage used by such
structured portfolio companies; (iv) the incremental value associated with the reinsurance investments of the portfolio company assets that Apollo manages; and (v) the
fair value of any other investments that Apollo manages plus unused credit facilities, including capital commitments for investments  that may require pre-qualification 
before investment  plus any other capital commitments available for investment that are not otherwise included in the clauses above. The AUM measure includes AUM
for which Apollo charges either no or nominal fees. The definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM contained in Apollo’s operating agreement or in any of
Apollo’s fund management agreements. Apollo considers multiple factors for determining what should be included in the definition of AUM. Such factors include but are
not limited to (1) Apollo’s ability  to influence the investment  decisions for existing and available assets; (2) Apollo’s ability to generate income from the underlying
assets in the funds it manages; and (3) the AUM measures that Apollo uses internally or believes are used by other investment managers. Given the differences in the
investment strategies and structures among other alternative investment managers, Apollo’s calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations employed  by other
investment  managers  and, as a result, this measure  may not be directly comparable  to similar measures presented by other investment managers.
