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 (the “Company,” “ARI,” “we,” “us” and “our”) 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.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on 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 otherwise.

Footnotes 1. Distributable Earnings: Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define 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 (including depreciation and amortization on real estate owned) included in net income available to common stockholders, (iii) unrealized income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (iv) foreign currency gains (losses), other than (a) realized gains/(losses) related to interest income, and (b) forward point gains/(losses) realized on our foreign currency hedges, and (v) provision for current expected credit losses. Please see page 21 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Distributable Earnings. Distributable Earnings Prior to Realized Loss on Investments and Realized Gain from Litigation Settlement: We believe it is useful to our investors to present Distributable Earnings prior to realized loss on investments and realized gain from litigation settlement to reflect our operating results because (i) our operating results are primarily comprised of earning interest income on our investments net of borrowing and administrative costs, which comprise our ongoing operations and (ii) it has been a useful factor related to our dividend per share because it is one of the considerations when a dividend is determined. We believe that our investors use Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to realized loss on investments and realized gain from litigation settlement, or a comparable supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare the performance of our company and our peers. 2. Reflects closing share price on February 9, 2026. 3. Weighted Average Unlevered All-in Yield on the loan portfolio is based on the applicable benchmark rates as of period end on the floating rate loans and includes accrual of origination, extension, and exit fees. For non-US deals, yield excludes incremental forward points impact from currency hedging. 4. Includes a $41 million held-for-sale corporate note. The note was sold during the third quarter of 2025. 5. Add-on fundings represent fundings subsequent to loan closing. 6. Book value per share, or “BVPS”, of common stock is common stockholders’ equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding. 7. Amounts and percentages may not foot due to rounding. 8. Other includes changes in General CECL Allowance, cost recovery interest, realized loss on investments, PIK interest, and the accretion of loan costs and fees. 9. Based on loan amortized cost, net of Specific CECL Allowance. 10. Assumes exercise of all extension options. There is no assurance that all or any extension options will be exercised. 11. Gross of $39 million of General CECL Allowance. 12. Amortized cost for these loans is net of the recorded Specific CECL Allowances. 13. Loans are secured by the same property. 14. Future funding dates and amounts are based upon the Manager’s estimates, which are derived from the best information available to the Manager at the time. There is no assurance that the payments will occur in accordance with these estimates or at all, which could affect our operating results. 15. Excludes risk-rated 5 loans. 16. Any such hypothetical impact on interest rates on our 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, we may take actions to further mitigate our 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 our financial structure. There is no assurance that there will be no changes in our financial structure. The analysis incorporates movements in USD, GBP and EUR benchmark rates only. 17. Unvested RSUs are net of incremental shares assumed repurchased under the treasury stock method, if dilutive. There were no incremental shares included in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. 22
