Historically, we have deferred in Core Earnings the accretion of purchase discount attributable to a certain pool of GE portfolio loans acquired in May 2015, until repayment in full of the
remaining loans in the pool was substantially assured. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, it was determined that repayment of the remaining loans in the deferral pool was
substantially assured. As such, the $8.7 million of deferred purchase discount, which has been previously recognized in GAAP net income, was realized in Core Earnings during the three
months ended June 30, 2018.
(c)
Primarily represents the forward points earned on our foreign currency forward contracts, which reflect the interest rate differentials between the applicable base rate for our foreign

amounts are not included in GAAP net income, but rather as a component of Other Comprehensive Income in our consolidated financial statements.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Core Earnings
(a)
Represents net income attributable to Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.
(b)
Historically, we have deferred in Core Earnings the accretion of purchase discount attributable to a certain pool of GE portfolio loans acquired in May 2015, until repayment in full of the
remaining loans in the pool was substantially assured. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, it was determined that repayment of the remaining loans in the deferral pool was
substantially assured. As such, the $8.7 million of deferred purchase discount, which has been previously recognized in GAAP net income, was realized in Core Earnings during the three
months ended June 30, 2018.
(c)
Primarily
represents
the
forward
points
earned
on
our
foreign
currency
forward
contracts,
which
reflect
the
interest
rate
differentials
between
the
applicable
base
rate
for
our
foreign
currency investments and USD LIBOR. These forward contracts effectively convert the rate exposure to USD LIBOR, resulting in additional interest income earned in U.S. dollar terms. These
amounts are not included in GAAP net income, but rather as a component of Other Comprehensive Income in our consolidated financial statements.

Definitions
Core
Earnings:
Blackstone
Mortgage
Trust,
Inc.
(“BXMT”)
discloses
Core
Earnings
in
this
presentation.
Core
Earnings
is
a
financial
measure
that
is
calculated
and
presented
on
the
basis
of
methodologies
other
than
in
accordance
with
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“GAAP”).
Core
Earnings
is
an
adjusted
measure
that
helps
BXMT
evaluate
its
performance
excluding
the
effects
of
certain
transactions
and
GAAP
adjustments
that
it
believes
are
not
necessarily
indicative
of
its
current
loan
origination
portfolio
and
operations.
Although
according
to
its
management
agreement
BXMT
calculates
the
incentive
and
base
management
fees
due
to
its
Manager
using
Core
Earnings
before
incentive
fees
expense,
BXMT
reports
Core
Earnings
after
incentive
fees
expense,
as
BXMT
believes
this
is
a
more
meaningful
presentation
of
the
economic
performance
of
its
class
A
common
stock.
Core
Earnings
is
defined
as
GAAP
net
income
(loss),
including
realized
gains
and
losses
not
otherwise
included
in
GAAP
net
income
(loss),
and
excluding
(i)
net
income
(loss)
attributable
to
the
CT
Legacy
Portfolio,
(ii)
non-cash
equity
compensation
expense,
(iii)
depreciation
and
amortization,
(iv)
unrealized
gains
(losses),
and
(v)
certain
non-cash
items.
Core
Earnings
may
also
be
adjusted
from
time
to
time
to
exclude
one-time
events
pursuant
to
changes
in
GAAP
and
certain
other
non-cash
charges
as
determined
by
BXMT’s
manager,
subject
to
approval
by
a
majority
of
its
independent
directors.
Core
Earnings
does
not
represent
net
income
or
cash
generated
from
operating
activities
and
should
not
be
considered
as
an
alternative
to
GAAP
net
income,
or
an
indication
of
BXMT’s
GAAP
cash
flows
from
operations,
a
measure
of
BXMT’s
liquidity,
or
an
indication
of
funds
available
for
its
cash
needs.
In
addition,
BXMT’s
methodology
for
calculating
Core
Earnings
may
differ
from
the
methodologies
employed
by
other
companies
to
calculate
the
same
or
similar
supplemental
performance
measures,
and
accordingly,
its
reported
Core
Earnings
may
not
be
comparable
to
the
Core
Earnings
reported
by
other
companies.
Non-Consolidated
Senior
Interests:
Senior
interests
in
loans
originated
and
syndicated
to
third
parties.
These
non-recourse
loan
participations,
which
are
excluded
from
the
GAAP
balance
sheet,
constitute
additional
financing
capacity
and
are
included
in
discussions
of
the
loan
portfolio.
Earnings
Sensitivity
to
LIBOR:
Reflects
the
impact
on
net
income,
net
of
incentive
fees,
assuming
no
changes
in
credit
spreads,
portfolio
composition,
or
asset
performance.
Assumes
no
change
in
general
and
administrative
expenses,
management
fees,
or
other
non-interest
expenses
relative
to
those
incurred
for
the
quarter
ended
June
30,
2018.

2017,

Exchange
Commission

and

BXMT
assumes
no
obligation
to
update
or
supplement
forward-looking
statements
that
become
untrue
because
of
subsequent
events
or
circumstances.
