PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY SOFTBANK

On July 12, 2017, Fortress announced that, at its special meeting of shareholders, the Company’s shareholders had voted, among other things, in favor of the proposal to adopt the previously announced merger agreement pursuant to which certain subsidiaries of SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”) will acquire Fortress for approximately $3.3 billion in cash. Of the votes cast in respect of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement, approximately 99.7% of shares voted in favor. The transaction is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, after which Fortress will operate as an independent business within SoftBank under the continuing leadership of Fortress Principals Pete Briger, Wes Edens and Randy Nardone.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS

Fortress’s business model is highly diversified, and management believes that this positions the Company to capitalize on opportunities for investing, capital formation and harvesting profits that can occur at different points in any cycle for our individual businesses. Fortress’s business model generates stable and predictable management fees, which is a function of the majority of Fortress’s alternative AUM residing in long-term investment structures. Fortress’s alternative investment businesses also generate variable incentive income based on performance, and this incentive income can contribute meaningfully to financial results. Balance sheet investments represent a third component of Fortress’s business model, and the Company has built substantial value in these investments, which are made in Fortress funds alongside the funds’ limited partners. The table below summarizes Fortress’s operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The condensed consolidated GAAP statement of operations and balance sheet are presented on pages 10-11 of this press release.

1 The Assets Under Management presented for Credit includes $1,371 million of AUM related to co-managed funds as of 3Q 2017. 2 The Assets Under Management presented for Liquid Markets includes $5,083 million of AUM related to the Affiliated Manager as of 3Q 2017. 3 Fortress sold the Logan Circle business in September 2017.

GAAP RESULTS

Fortress recorded GAAP net income of $190 million, or $0.37 per diluted Class A share, for the third quarter of 2017, compared to GAAP net income of $58 million, or $0.07 per diluted Class A share, for the third quarter of 2016. Our diluted earnings per share includes the income tax effects to net income (loss) attributable to Class A shareholders from the assumed conversion of Fortress Operating Group units to Class A shares in periods when the effect is dilutive.

The year-over-year change in Fortress’s third quarter 2017 GAAP net income was primarily driven by a $202 million increase in other income, partially offset by a $40 million increase in income tax expense, a $23 million increase in expenses and a $7 million decrease in revenues.

The $202 million increase in other income was primarily due to the completed sale of Logan Circle, which resulted in a gain on sale of $189 million, net of selling expenses.

The $23 million increase in expenses was primarily related to higher compensation and benefits expense.

The $7 million decrease in revenues was primarily related to lower incentive income from non-affiliates, lower other revenues and lower management fees from affiliates and non-affiliates, partially offset by higher incentive income from affiliates.

SEGMENT RESULTS (NON-GAAP)

This section provides information about each of Fortress’s businesses: (i) Credit Hedge Funds and Credit PE Funds, (ii) Private Equity Funds and Permanent Capital Vehicles, (iii) Liquid Hedge Funds, and (iv) Logan Circle. Fortress uses DE as the primary metric to manage its businesses and gauge the Company’s performance, and it uses DE exclusively to report segment results. All DE figures are presented on a pre-tax basis. Consolidated segment results are non-GAAP information and are not presented as a substitute for Fortress’s GAAP results.

4 The Assets Under Management presented for the Credit Hedge Funds includes $1,371 million related to co-managed funds and $743 million related to the third party originated JP Funds and Value Recovery Funds. The Assets Under Management presented for the Liquid Hedge Funds includes $5,083 million related to the Affiliated Manager. 5 The Average Management Fee Rate presented for the Credit Hedge Funds excludes the co-managed funds and third-party originated JP Funds and Value Recovery Funds (see footnote 4 above). The Average Management Fee Rate presented for the Liquid Hedge Funds excludes the Affiliated Manager. 6 The Incentive Eligible NAV Above Incentive Income Threshold presented for Credit Hedge Funds excludes co-managed funds, certain third party originated funds and sidepocket investments and for Liquid Hedge Funds, excludes the Affiliated Manager and sidepocket investments. The Incentive Eligible NAV Above Incentive Income Threshold presented for Private Equity Funds and Credit PE Funds (except for a portion of Long Dated Value Fund I, whose capital was above the incentive income threshold as of September 30, 2017), represents total fund NAV. The Incentive Eligible NAV Above Incentive Income Threshold presented for the Permanent Capital Vehicles represents the equity basis that is used to calculate incentive income. 7 Undistributed Incentive Income - Recognized represents the results of the main fund investments for the Credit Hedge Funds including the impact of realized gains and losses and unrealized losses on sidepocket investments. Undistributed Incentive Income - Unrecognized represents the results of the Private Equity Funds, Credit PE Funds and Liquid and Credit Hedge Fund sidepocket and redeeming capital account (RCA) investments which have not been recognized in Distributable Earnings and will be recognized when realized. The Undistributed Incentive Income presented for the Credit Hedge Funds excludes co-managed funds and certain third party originated funds and for Liquid Hedge Funds, excludes the Affiliated Manager. Undistributed Incentive Income for Credit PE Funds includes $5 million of net unrealized gains that would have been recorded in Distributable Earnings if Fortress had settled Japanese Yen foreign exchange derivative contracts used to economically hedge estimated future incentive income it had outstanding as of September 30, 2017. Undistributed Incentive Income for Permanent Capital Vehicles includes $56 million of incentive income that would have been recorded in Distributable Earnings if Fortress had (i) exercised all of its in-the-money options it holds in the Permanent Capital Vehicles and sold all of the resulting shares, (ii) sold all of its Permanent Capital Vehicle common shares which it received as incentive income and (iii) sold all of its Permanent Capital Vehicle common shares which it received from previously exercised Permanent Capital Vehicle options, based on their respective September 30, 2017 closing prices. 8 Includes Unallocated Expenses of $5 million incurred by Fortress related to the proposed acquisition by SoftBank. 9 Includes Unallocated Investment Income of $1 million and Unallocated Expenses of $2 million. 10 Fortress sold the Logan Circle business in September 2017.

Pre-tax DE was $291 million in the third quarter of 2017, up from $90 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher investment income and incentive income, partially offset by higher operating expenses and lower management fees.

Management fees were $131 million in the third quarter of 2017, down from $136 million in the third quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower management fees from the Credit PE Funds, Credit Hedge Funds, Logan Circle and Private Equity Funds, partially offset by higher management fees from the Permanent Capital Vehicles.

Incentive income in the third quarter of 2017 totaled $140 million, up from $113 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher incentive income from the Permanent Capital Vehicles and Private Equity Funds, partially offset by lower incentive income from the Credit PE Funds and Credit Hedge Funds.

Earnings from the Affiliated Manager totaled $4 million in the third quarter of 2017, up from $3 million in the third quarter of 2016.

The Company’s segment revenues and distributable earnings will fluctuate materially depending upon the performance of its funds and the realization events within its private equity businesses, as well as other factors. Accordingly, the revenues and distributable earnings in any particular period should not be expected to be indicative of future results.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT

As of September 30, 2017, AUM totaled $36.1 billion. As of quarter end, approximately 85% of AUM was in funds with long-term investment structures.

During the quarter, Fortress’s AUM decreased primarily due to (i) the sale of Logan Circle which had $37.1 billion of AUM, (ii) $2.1 billion of capital distributions to investors, (iii) $0.2 billion in distributions to investors in redeeming capital accounts, and (iv) a $0.2 billion capital reset adjustment. These decreases to AUM were partially offset by (i) $0.6 billion in market-driven valuation gains, (ii) a $0.5 billion increase in the AUM of the Affiliated Manager and co-managed funds, (iii) a $0.3 billion increase in invested capital, and (iv) $0.2 billion of new capital raised that was directly added to AUM.

As of September 30, 2017, the Credit Funds and Private Equity Funds had $6.9 billion and $0.6 billion of uncalled capital, respectively, that will become AUM if called. Uncalled capital or dry powder – capital committed to the funds but not invested and generating management fees – includes $3.0 billion that is only available for follow-on investments, management fees and other fund expenses.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

Below is a discussion of third quarter 2017 segment results and business highlights.

Credit:

DBSO LP had third quarter and year-to-date 2017 net returns of 2.0% and 5.6%, respectively
DBSO Ltd had third quarter and year-to-date 2017 net returns of 2.6% and 5.8%, respectively
FCO, FCO II, FCO III, FJOF and FJOF II (Yen) recorded annualized inception-to-date net IRRs of 22.9%, 15.6%, 10.3%, 27.7% and 27.8%, respectively, through September 30, 2017
Nearly $1.2 billion of gross embedded incentive income that has not yet been recognized in DE

(See supplemental data on pages 17-18 for more detail on Credit results)

The Credit business, which includes our Credit PE Funds and Credit Hedge Funds, generated pre-tax DE of $45 million in the third quarter of 2017, down from $68 million in the third quarter of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in DE was primarily driven by lower incentive income, partially offset by lower profit sharing expense.

The Credit Hedge Funds generated pre-tax DE of $24 million for the quarter, down from $36 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower incentive income. Fortress’s flagship credit hedge fund, DBSO LP, had net returns of 2.0% for the quarter and annualized inception to date net returns of 10.6% as of September 30, 2017.

The Credit PE Funds generated pre-tax DE of $21 million in the quarter, compared to $32 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower incentive income. Over the last twelve months, the Credit PE Funds have recognized $161 million of gross incentive income, while gross unrecognized Credit PE incentive income has increased $129 million year-over-year to $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2017.

Private Equity and Permanent Capital Vehicles:

Permanent Capital Vehicles generated $58 million of incentive income in the quarter
PE Fund valuations appreciated 3.2% in the quarter

(See supplemental data on pages 15-16 for more detail on Private Equity results)

The Private Equity business recorded pre-tax DE of $80 million in the third quarter of 2017, up from $27 million in the third quarter of 2016. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher incentive income and higher investment income.

The Permanent Capital Vehicles generated pre-tax DE of $46 million in the quarter, up from $14 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher incentive income. The Private Equity Funds generated pre-tax DE of $34 million, up from $13 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher investment income and higher incentive income.

Liquid Hedge Funds:

Earnings from the Affiliated Manager totaled $4 million in the quarter

(See supplemental data on page 19 for more detail on Liquid Hedge Funds results)

The Liquid Hedge Funds recorded pre-tax DE of $4 million in the third quarter of 2017, up from a $5 million pre-tax DE loss in the third quarter of 2016. The year-over-year increase was due to higher earnings from the Affiliated Manager and lower operating expenses.

Logan Circle:

Completed the sale of Logan Circle to MetLife

(See supplemental data on page 20 for more detail on Logan Circle results)

Logan Circle recorded $168 million of pre-tax DE for the third quarter of 2017, including $170 million of investment income primarily related to the completed sale of Logan Circle to MetLife in September 2017.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL

As of September 30, 2017, Fortress had cash and cash equivalents of $666 million and debt obligations of $105 million.

As of September 30, 2017, Fortress had approximately $0.9 billion of investments in Fortress funds and options in publicly traded permanent capital vehicles and a total of $183 million in outstanding commitments to its funds. In addition, the NAV of Fortress’s investments in its own funds exceeded its segment cost basis by $507 million at quarter end, representing net unrealized gains that have not yet been recognized for segment reporting purposes.

DIVIDEND

In connection with the proposed merger between Fortress and an affiliate of SoftBank, Fortress has contractually agreed that it will not pay any dividends with respect to periods ending after March 31, 2017 while the merger agreement remains in effect.

NON-GAAP INFORMATION

DE is a supplemental metric used by management to measure Fortress’s operating performance. DE is a measure that management uses to manage, and thus report on, Fortress’s segments, namely: Private Equity, Permanent Capital Vehicles, Credit Hedge Funds, Credit PE Funds, Liquid Hedge Funds and Logan Circle. DE differs from GAAP net income in a number of material ways. For a detailed description of the calculation of pre-tax DE and fund management DE, see Exhibit 3 to this release and note 10 to the financial statements included in the Company’s most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Fortress aggregates its segment results to report consolidated segment results, as shown in the table under “Summary Financial Results” and in the “Total” column of the table under “Consolidated Segment Results (Non-GAAP).” The consolidated segment results are non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that consolidated segment results provide a meaningful basis for comparison among present and future periods. However, consolidated segment results should not be considered a substitute for Fortress’s consolidated GAAP results. The exhibits to this release contain reconciliations of the components of Fortress’s consolidated segment results to the comparable GAAP measures, and Fortress urges you to review these exhibits. Fortress also uses weighted average dividend paying shares and units outstanding (used to calculate pre-tax DE per dividend paying share) and net cash and investments. The exhibits to this release contain reconciliations of these measures to the comparable GAAP measures, and Fortress urges you to review these exhibits.

‘‘Distributable earnings’’ is Fortress’s supplemental measure of operating performance used by management in analyzing segment and overall results. As compared to generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’) net income, distributable earnings excludes the effects of unrealized gains (or losses) on illiquid investments, reflects contingent revenue which has been received as income to the extent it is not expected to be reversed, and disregards expenses which do not require an outlay of assets, whether currently or on an accrued basis. Distributable earnings is reflected on an unconsolidated and pre-tax basis, and, therefore, the interests in consolidated subsidiaries related to Fortress Operating Group units (held by the principals) and income tax expense are added back in its calculation. Distributable earnings is not a measure of cash generated by operations which is available for distribution nor should it be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flow or net income in accordance with GAAP and it is not necessarily indicative of liquidity or cash available to fund the Company’s operations. For a complete discussion of distributable earnings and its reconciliation to GAAP, as well as an explanation of the calculation of distributable earnings impairment, see note 10 to the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Fortress’s management uses distributable earnings:

in making operating decisions and assessing the performance of each of the Company’s core businesses;
for planning purposes, including the preparation of annual operating budgets;
as a valuation measure in strategic analyses in connection with the performance of its funds and the performance of its employees; and
to assist in evaluating its periodic distributions to equity holders.

Growing distributable earnings is a key component to the Company’s business strategy and distributable earnings is the supplemental measure used by management to evaluate the economic profitability of each of the Company’s businesses and total operations. Therefore, Fortress believes that it provides useful information to investors in evaluating its operating performance. Fortress’s definition of distributable earnings is not based on any definition contained in its amended and restated operating agreement.

“Fund management DE” is equal to pre-tax distributable earnings excluding our direct investment-related results. Fund management DE is comprised of “Pre-tax Distributable Earnings” excluding “Investment Loss (Income)” and “Interest Expense.” Fund management DE and its components are used by management to analyze and measure the performance of our investment management business on a stand-alone basis. Fortress defines segment operating margin to be equal to fund management DE divided by segment revenues. The Company believes that it is useful to provide investors with the opportunity to review our investment management business using the same metrics. Fund management DE and its components are subject to the same limitations as pre-tax distributable earnings, as described above.

“Dividend paying shares and units” represents the number of shares and units outstanding at the end of the period which were entitled to receive dividends or related distributions. It excludes certain potentially dilutive equity instruments, primarily non-dividend paying restricted Class A share units, and, therefore, is limited in its usefulness in computing per share amounts. Accordingly, dividend paying shares and units should be considered only as a supplement and not an alternative to GAAP basic and diluted shares outstanding. The Company’s calculation of dividend paying shares and units may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Net cash and investments represents cash and cash equivalents plus investments less debt outstanding. The Company believes that net cash and investments is a useful supplemental measure because it provides investors with information regarding the Company’s net investment assets. Net cash and investments excludes certain assets (investments in options, due from affiliates, deferred tax asset, other assets) and liabilities (due to affiliates, accrued compensation and benefits, deferred incentive income and other liabilities) and its utility as a measure of financial position is limited. Accordingly, net cash and investments should be considered only as a supplement and not an alternative to GAAP book value as a measure of the Company’s financial position. The Company’s calculation of net cash and investments may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

This value represents incentive income that would have been recorded in Distributable Earnings if Fortress had exercised all of its in-the-money options it holds in the Permanent Capital Vehicles and sold all of the resulting shares at their September 30, 2017 closing price and differs from the fair value derived from option pricing models included in the table above.
