“We had another strong quarter that further demonstrates the efficacy of our strategic planning and ability to execute these past few years,” said Richard Saltzman, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “A particular highlight is the closing of Colony’s first open-end fund offering which invests in the U.S. industrial market and is directly related to the success of our significant platform acquisition in that space almost two years ago. Last but not least, we continue to make excellent progress towards the closing of the tri-party merger with NorthStar Asset Management and NorthStar Realty Finance. Once complete, which is expected in January 2017, our vastly increased scale, broader distribution capabilities, and diversity of assets will greatly enhance our overall capabilities.”

Third Quarter 2016 Operating Results and Investment Activity by Segment

The Company holds investment interests in five reportable segments: Colony Light Industrial Platform or CLIP, Single Family Residential Rentals, Other Real Estate Equity, Real Estate Debt and Investment Management.

The Company’s interest in the CLIP portfolio was 62% during the third quarter of 2016. With the closing of CIF on September 30, 2016, the Company’s interest in the total equity capitalization of CLIP is approximately 50%. The Company continues to own a 100% interest in the related operating platform. CLIP primarily invests in light industrial properties in infill locations in major U.S. metropolitan markets targeting multi-tenant buildings of up to 500,000 square feet and single tenant buildings of up to 250,000 square feet with an office buildout of less than 20%.

Based on year-to-date results, SFR further increased its full year 2016 Core FFO guidance from $1.60 to $1.65 per share to $1.65 to $1.69 per share.

SFR’s board declared a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2016 of $0.22 per share, which represents an annualized dividend yield of 3.4% on the Company’s cost basis.

As of September 30, 2016, total consolidated assets and equity in this segment were $2.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, and the Company’s share of total assets and equity were $1.3 billion and $628 million, respectively.

Real Estate Debt

As of September 30, 2016, approximately 78% of the net book value in this segment was composed of originated loans and approximately 22% was composed of acquired loans.

As of November 4, 2016, Colony Capital, Inc. had approximately 113.9 million Class A and B common shares outstanding and the Company’s operating partnership had approximately 134.7 million operating company units (“OP Units”) outstanding.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We calculate funds from operations ("FFO") in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Included in FFO are gains and losses from sales of assets which are not depreciable real estate such as loans receivable, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as well as investments in debt and other equity securities, as applicable.

We compute core funds from operations ("Core FFO") by adjusting FFO for the following items, including our share of these items recognized by our unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures: (i) gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate, net of depreciation, amortization and impairment previously adjusted for FFO; (ii) stock compensation expense; (iii) effects of straight-line rent revenue and straight-line rent expense on ground leases; (iv) amortization of acquired above- and below-market lease values; (v) amortization of deferred financing costs and debt premiums and discounts; (vi) unrealized fair value gains or losses on derivative instruments and on foreign currency remeasurements; (vii) acquisition-related expenses, merger and integration costs; (viii) amortization and impairment of finite-lived intangibles related to investment management contracts and customer relationships; (ix) gain on remeasurement of consolidated investment entities and the effect of amortization thereof; (x) non-real estate depreciation and amortization; (xi) change in fair value of contingent consideration; and (xii) deferred tax effect on the foregoing adjustments. Also, beginning with the first quarter of 2016, our share of Core FFO from our interest in SFR will represent our percentage interest multiplied by SFR's reported Core FFO, which may differ from our calculation of Core FFO. Refer to SFR's filings for its definition and calculation of Core FFO.

FFO and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income as indications of operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity, nor as indications of the availability of funds for our cash needs, including funds available to make distributions. FFO and Core FFO should not be used as supplements to or substitutes for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. Our calculations of FFO and Core FFO may differ from methodologies utilized by other REITs for similar performance measurements, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to those of other REITs.

The Company uses FFO and Core FFO as supplemental performance measures because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. The Company also believes that, as widely recognized measures of the performance of REITs, FFO and Core FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare its operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO and Core FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that results from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of its properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact the Company’s results from operations, the utility of FFO and Core FFO as measures of the Company’s performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO and Core FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO and Core FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO and Core FFO. Accordingly, FFO and Core FFO should be considered only as supplements to net income as a measure of the Company’s performance.

DEFINITIONS
(Unaudited)

Fee-Earning Equity Under Management (“FEEUM”) refers to the equity for which the Company provides investment management services and from which it derives management fees and/or performance allocations. FEEUM is presented as of September 30, 2016, and includes $0.6 billion of uncalled limited partner capital commitments which will not bear fees until such capital is called at the Company’s discretion. Additionally, $0.3 billion pertains to FEEUM of our equity-method investment in a German-based asset management platform. The Company's calculations of FEEUM 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.

Assets Under Management (“AUM”) refers to the assets for which the Company provides investment management services and includes assets for which it may or may not charge management fees and/or performance allocations. AUM is presented as of September 30, 2016 and equals the sum of: a) the gross fair value of investments held directly by the Company or managed by the Company on behalf of its private funds, co-investments, or other investment vehicles; b) leverage, inclusive of debt held by investments and deferred purchases prices; c) uncalled limited partner capital commitments which the Company is entitled to call from investors during the given commitment period at its discretion pursuant to the terms of their respective funds; and d) with respect to majority-owned and substantially controlled investments the Company consolidates gross assets attributable to third-party investors. 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.
