Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, and EPS excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, are non-GAAP measures used as supplemental performance measures to give management and investors a view of net income and EPS more directly derived from operating activities in the period in which they occur. It should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to common shareholders as shown in our consolidated statements of operations. EPS excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances is calculated as net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, divided by the weighted average number of common shares. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common shareholders or EPS, respectively (in each case determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”)). These measures may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
