Forward Looking Statements and Other Disclosures

2

This presentation may contain forward-looking statements that are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and such statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided by the same. Forward-looking statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond management’s control. These forward-looking statements may include information about possible or assumed future results of Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc.’s (“ARI” or the “Company”) business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. When used in this presentation, the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may” or similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be forward- looking: ARI’s business and investment strategy; ARI’s operating results; ARI’s ability to obtain and maintain financing arrangements; the return on equity, the yield on investments and risks associated with investing in real estate assets; and changes in business conditions and the general economy. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of future performance, taking into account all information currently available to ARI. Forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to ARI. Some of these factors are described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in ARI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. If a change occurs, ARI’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in ARI’s forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date

  • n which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for management to predict those events or how they may affect ARI. Except as

required by law, ARI is not obligated to, and does not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or

  • therwise.

This presentation contains information regarding ARI’s financial results that is calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), including Operating Earnings and Operating Earnings per share. Please refer to footnote 23 on slide 24 for a definition of “Operating Earnings” and the reconciliation of the applicable GAAP financial measure to “Operating Earnings” set forth on slide 21. This presentation may contain statistics and other data that in some cases has been obtained from or compiled from information made available by third-party service

  • providers. ARI makes no representation or warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to the accuracy, reasonableness or completeness of such information.

Past performance is not indicative nor a guarantee of future returns. Index performance and yield data are shown for illustrative purposes only and have limitations when used for comparison or for other purposes due to, among other matters, volatility, credit or other factors (such as number and types of securities). Indices are unmanaged, do not charge any fees or expenses, assume reinvestment of income and do not employ special investment techniques such as leveraging or short selling. No such index is indicative of the future results of any investment by ARI. Additional Information and Where to Find It Copies of the documents filed by ARI with the SEC are available free of charge from the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov as well as on ARI’s website at www.apolloreit.com. This document is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

  • Finance first mortgages (2.0-2.5x leverage) using repurchase facilities
  • Keep subordinate loans unencumbered
  • Maintain adequate cash liquidity at all times
  • Match fund floating rate assets to minimize interest rate risk
  • Actively manage the duration of leverage to keep maturities of liabilities well staggered

Footnotes

24 (1) Weighted Average Unlevered All-in-Yield on the loan portfolio is based upon the applicable benchmark rates as of March 31, 2018 on the floating rate loans. Weighted Average All-in-Yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees, loan origination costs and accrual of both extension and exit fees. (2) Debt represents total secured debt arrangements and convertible senior notes, less cash and proceeds held by servicer. (3) Apollo refers to Apollo Global Management, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. (4) CRE Credit Platform “AUM” or Assets Under Management is as of March 31, 2018 and is defined as the amortized cost of the CRE debt investments held by ARI and other investment funds and accounts managed by Apollo that invest in commercial real estate debt. (5) Other includes a repurchase agreement investment secured by collateralized debt obligation or CDO bonds and equity investment in Bremer Kreditbank AG (“BKB Bank”). (6) Unfunded loan commitments are for loans that were previously closed but have yet to be funded. (7) Average floating rate spread is calculated as the weighted average yield with applicable floating benchmark rates minus USD one month LIBOR as of March 31, 2018. (8) Weighted Average Remaining Term assumes all extension options are exercised. (9) Other includes a data center and water park resorts. (10) Amounts and percentages may not foot due to rounding. (11) Assumes extension options are exercised. (12) The debt balance as of March 31, 2018, includes asset specific borrowing: currently $80 million drawn out of $132 million max capacity. (13) As of March 31, 2018 the Company’s secured debt arrangements with Goldman Sachs Bank USA provided for maximum total borrowings comprised of a $300 million repurchase facility and $27.8 million of an asset specific financing. The asset specific financing has a maturity of April 2019. (14) Equity market capitalization based upon shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2018 and closing stock price on May 25, 2018. (15) Unencumbered assets to unsecured debt is defined as all assets (including cash) without asset-specific financing divided by unsecured debt. (16) Fixed charge coverage is EBITDA divided by interest expense and the preferred stock dividends. (17) Includes ~$30 million of cash held by servicer (18) Subject to (i) availability of qualifying collateral assets and (ii) approval of lenders. (19) Based upon face amount. (20) Any such hypothetical impact on interest rates on the Company’s variable rate borrowings does not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in a rising interest rate environment. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates of that magnitude, the Company may take actions to further mitigate the Company’s exposure to such a change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no changes in the Company’s financial structure. The analysis incorporates movements in both USD LIBOR and GBP LIBOR. (21) Dividend yields are based upon closing stock price as of May 29, 2018 and the most recently declared quarterly dividend per share of common stock, annualized. Price/book is based upon the closing stock price on May 29, 2018 and the reported book value per share of common stock on March 31, 2018. (22) Based upon the $1.84 annual dividend per share of common stock and the closing stock price on May 29, 2018. (23) Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the Company to approximate cash available for distribution and is defined by the Company as net income available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for (i) equity-based compensation expense (a portion of which may become cash-based upon final vesting and settlement of awards should the holder elect net share settlement to satisfy income tax withholding); (ii) any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items included in net income available to common stockholders, (iii) unrealized income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) foreign currency gains/losses, other than realized gains/(losses) related to interest income; (v) the non-cash amortization expense related to the reclassification of a portion of the convertible senior notes to stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP; and (vi) provision for loan losses and impairments. Please see slide 21 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income and GAAP net income per share to Operating Earnings and Operating Earnings per Share. Operating Earnings may also be adjusted to exclude certain other non- cash items, as determined by ACREFI Management, LLC, the Company’s external manager, and approved by a majority of the Company's independent directors. (24) Both loans are secured by the same property. (25) Amortized cost for these loans is net of the recorded provisions for loan losses and impairments. (26) Both loans are secured by the same property. (27) Both loans are secured by the same property.
