Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding non-recurring (gains) / losses, and EPS excluding non-recurring (gains) / losses, 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. Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding non-recurring (gains) / losses is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, prior to the effect of non-recurring gains and losses, as adjusted to exclude corresponding amounts allocable to noncontrolling interests. It should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to common shareholders as shown in our consolidated statements of operations. EPS excluding non-recurring (gains) / losses is calculated as net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding non-recurring (gains) / losses, divided by the weighted average number of diluted 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. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented below.

¹ All numbers net of impact attributable to noncontrolling interests.

² Non-recurring losses were $2.2m and $4.2m in Q4'25 and FY'25, respectively, for the $1.9m write-off of a preferred equity position in a leasehold joint venture in Q1'25 and the $2.2m loss on early extinguishment of debt in Q4'25. There were no non-recurring gains during these periods.
