Appendix Slide #3
Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Pre-tax Distributable Earnings and Fund Management DE
(dollars in millions)

30
Appendix Slide #3A
‘‘Distributable earnings’’ is Fortress’s supplemental measure of operating performance used by management in analyzing segment and overall
results. It reflects the value created which management considers available for distribution during any period. 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 September 30, 2013.
Fortress’s management uses distributable earnings:
•
in its determination of periodic distributions to equity holders;
•
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; and
•
as a valuation measure in strategic analyses in connection with the performance of its funds and the performance of its employees.
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. It is comprised of “Segment
Revenues” net of “Segment Expenses” and “Principal Performance Payments.” 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), 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.
(1)
The definition of net cash and investments has been modified to exclude investments in options. The intrinsic value of options in equity method investees totaled $90
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 Newcastle, New Residential and Eurocastle options and sold all of the resulting shares at their
September 30, 2013 closing price and differs from the fair value derived from option pricing models included in the table above. All prior periods have been recast to
reflect this change
