You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and may cause the Company’s actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, our ability to grow our business by raising capital for our funds and the companies that we manage; whether run rate metrics presented herein are reflective of actual annual data; our position as an owner and investment manager of digital infrastructure and our ability to manage any related conflicts of interest; adverse changes in general economic and political conditions, including those resulting from supply chain difficulties, inflation, interest rate increases, a potential economic slowdown or a recession; our ability to deconsolidate our Operating segment; the anticipated impact of artificial intelligence developments on our business; our exposure to business risks in Europe, Asia and other foreign markets; our ability to obtain and maintain financing arrangements, including securitizations, on favorable or comparable terms or at all; the ability of our managed companies to attract and retain key customers and to provide reliable services without disruption; the reliance of our managed companies on third-party suppliers for power, network connectivity and certain other services; our ability to increase assets under management ("AUM") and expand our existing and new investment strategies; our ability to integrate and maintain consistent standards and controls, including our ability to manage our acquisitions in the digital infrastructure and investment management industries effectively; our business and investment strategy, including the ability of the businesses in which we have significant investments to execute their business strategies; performance of our investments relative to our expectations and the impact on our actual return on invested equity, as well as the cash provided by these investments and available for distribution; our ability to deploy capital into new investments consistent with our investment management strategies; the availability of, and competition for, attractive investment opportunities and the earnings profile of such new investments; our ability to achieve any of the anticipated benefits of certain joint ventures, including any ability for such ventures to create and/or distribute new investment products; our expected hold period for our assets and the impact of any changes in our expectations on the carrying value of such assets; the general volatility of the securities markets in which we participate; the market value of our assets; interest rate mismatches between our assets and any borrowings used to fund such assets; effects of hedging instruments on our assets; the impact of economic conditions on third parties on which we rely; the impact of any security incident or deficiency affecting our systems or network or the system and network of any of our managed companies or service providers; any litigation and contractual claims against us and our affiliates, including potential settlement and litigation of such claims; our leverage and our ability to reach our targeted level of leverage by year-end; the impact of legislative, regulatory and competitive changes, including those related to privacy and data protection; the impact of our transition from a real estate investment trust ("REIT") to a taxable C corporation for tax purposes, and the related liability for corporate and other taxes; whether we will be able to utilize existing tax attributes to offset taxable income to the extent contemplated; our ability to maintain our exemption from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); changes in our board of directors or management team, and availability of qualified personnel; our ability to make or maintain distributions to our stockholders; fluctuations in foreign currency and exchange rates and our understanding of and ability to successfully navigate the competitive landscape in which we and our managed companies operate and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, each under the heading “Risk Factors,” as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s subsequent periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

3 IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation includes certain “non-GAAP” supplemental measures that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, including certain of the financial metrics defined below, of which the calculations may differ from methodologies utilized by other companies for similar performance measurements, and accordingly, may not be comparable to those of other companies. This presentation includes forward-looking guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, FRE, and Run-Rate Fee Revenue. These measures will differ from net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, in ways similar to those described in the reconciliations of historical Adjusted EBITDA and FRE to net income. We do not provide guidance for net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, or a reconciliation of guidance for these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in net income. Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA): Adjusted EBITDA represents DE adjusted to exclude the following items attributable to the operating company: interest expense as included in DE, income tax expense or benefit as included in DE, preferred stock dividends, equity method earnings, placement fee expense, principal investment income or loss as included in DE, placement fee expense, our share of incentive fees and realized carried interest allocation or reversal net of associated compensation expense or reversal, certain investment costs for capital raising that are not reimbursable by our sponsored funds, and capital expenditures as deducted in DE. Adjusted EBITDA is presented on a reportable segment basis and for the Company in total. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful supplemental measure of performance because it presents the Company’s operating performance independent of its capital structure, leverage and non-cash items, which allows for better comparability against entities with different capital structures and income tax rates. However, because Adjusted EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and taxes and does not deduct capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, its usefulness as a performance measure may be limited. Assets Under Management (“AUM”): Assets owned by the Company’s balance sheet and assets for which the Company and its affiliates provide investment management services, including assets for which the Company may or may not charge management fees and/or performance allocations. Balance sheet AUM is based on the undepreciated carrying value of digital investments and the impaired carrying value of non digital investments as of the report date. Investment management AUM is based on the cost basis of managed investments as reported by each underlying vehicle as of the report date. AUM further includes uncalled capital commitments, but excludes DBRG OP’s share of non wholly-owned real estate investment management platform’s AUM. The Company'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. DigitalBridge Operating Company, LLC (“DBRG OP”): The operating partnership through which the Company conducts all of its activities and holds substantially all of its assets and liabilities. DBRG OP share excludes noncontrolling interests in investment entities. Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”): FRE is calculated as recurring fee income and other income inclusive of cost reimbursements (related to administrative expenses), and net of compensation expense (excluding equity-based compensation, carried interest and incentive compensation) and administrative expense (excluding placement fees and straight-line rent). FRE is used to assess the extent to which direct base compensation and operating expenses are covered by recurring fee revenues in the digital investment management business. We believe that FRE is a useful supplemental performance measure because it may provide additional insight into the profitability of the overall digital investment management business. FRE is measured as Adjusted EBITDA for the IM segment, adjusted to reflect the Company’s IM segment as a stabilized business by excluding FRE associated with new investment strategies that have 1) not yet held a first close raising FEEUM; or 2) not yet achieved break-even Adjusted EBITDA only for investment products that may be terminated solely at the Company’s discretion, collectively referred to as “Start-up FRE.” The Company evaluates new investment strategies on a regular basis and excludes Start-Up FRE from FRE until such time a new strategy is determined to form part of the Company’s core investment management business. Distributable Earnings (“DE”): DE is an after-tax measure that differs from GAAP net income or loss from continuing operations as a result of the following adjustments, including adjustment for our share of similar items recognized by our equity method investments: transaction-related costs; restructuring charges (primarily severance and retention costs); realized and unrealized gains and losses, except realized gains and losses from digital assets in Corporate and Other; depreciation, amortization and impairment charges; debt prepayment penalties, and amortization of deferred financing costs, debt premiums and debt discounts; our share of unrealized carried interest, net of associated compensation expense; equity-based compensation expense; equity method earnings from BRSP which is replaced with dividends declared by BRSP; effect of straight-line lease income and expense; impairment of equity investments directly attributable to decrease in value of depreciable real estate held by the investee; non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures; income tax effect on certain of the foregoing adjustments. Income taxes included in DE reflect the benefit of deductions arising from certain expenses that are excluded from the calculation of DE, such as equity-based compensation, as these deductions do decrease actual income tax paid or payable by the Company in any one period. There are no differences in the Company’s measurement of DE and AFFO. Therefore, previously reported AFFO is the equivalent to DE and prior period information has not been recast. DE is presented on a reportable segment basis and for the Company in total. We believe that DE is a meaningful supplemental measure as it reflects the ongoing operating performance of our core business by generally excluding items that are non-core operational in nature and allows for better comparability of operating results period-over- period and to other companies in similar lines of business. Fee Related Earnings Margin (“FRE Margin”): FRE Margin is calculated by dividing FRE by management fee revenues, excluding one-time catch-up fees and/or incentives fees. Fee-Earning Equity Under Management (“FEEUM”): Equity for which the Company and its affiliates provides investment management services and derives management fees and/or performance allocations. FEEUM generally represents the basis used to derive fees, which may be based on invested equity, stockholders’ equity, or fair value pursuant to the terms of each underlying investment management agreement. The Company's calculations of FEEUM 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. Monthly Recurring Revenue (“MRR”): The Company defines MRR as revenue from ongoing services that is generally fixed in price and contracted for longer than 30 days. Run-Rate Fee Revenue: Calculated as FEEUM , inclusive of uncalled contractual commitments expected to be called within their commitment periods by investment vehicles that charge fees on invested capital once called, multiplied by the blended average fee rate as of the most recent reporting period. The Company’s calculations of Run-rate Investment Management Fee Revenues may not be achieved if all uncalled commitments are not called In evaluating the information presented throughout this presentation see definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures. For purposes of comparability, historical data in this presentation may include certain adjustments from prior reported data at the historical period.
