Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and may cause the Company’s actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, difficult market and political conditions, including those resulting from inflation, high interest rates, a general economic slowdown or a recession; our ability to raise capital from investors for our Company, our funds and the companies that we manage; the performance of our funds and investments relative to our expectations and the highly variable nature of our revenues, earnings and cash flow; our exposure to risks inherent in the ownership and operation of infrastructure and digital infrastructure assets, including our reliance on third-party suppliers to provide power, network connectivity and certain other services to our managed companies; our exposure to business risks in Europe, Asia, Latin America and other foreign markets; our ability to increase assets under management and expand our existing and new investment strategies while maintaining consistent standards and controls; our ability to appropriately manage conflicts of interest; our ability to expand into new investment strategies, geographic markets and businesses, including through acquisitions in the infrastructure and investment management industries; the impact of climate change and regulatory or societal efforts associated with environmental, social and governance matters; our ability to maintain effective information and cybersecurity policies, procedures and capabilities and the impact of any cybersecurity incident affecting our systems or network or the system and network of any of our managed companies or service providers; the ability of our portfolio companies to attract and retain key customers and to provide reliable services without disruption; any litigation and contractual claims against us and our affiliates, including potential settlement and litigation of such claims; our ability to obtain and maintain financing arrangements, including securitizations, on favorable or comparable terms or at all; the general volatility of the securities markets in which we participate; the market value of our assets and effects of hedging instruments on our assets; the impact of legislative, regulatory and competitive changes, including those related to privacy and data protection and new Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules governing investment advisers; whether we will be able to utilize existing tax attributes to offset taxable income to the extent contemplated; our ability to maintain our exemption from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; changes in our board of directors or management team, and availability of qualified personnel; our ability to make or maintain distributions to our stockholders; our understanding of and ability to successfully navigate the competitive landscape in which we and our managed companies operate; and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 under the heading “Risk Factors,” as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s subsequent periodic filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance. Additional information about these and other factors can be found in the Company’s reports filed from time to time with the SEC. While the Company believes that the portfolio companies of its funds or investment vehicles will offer services to support companies engaged in artificial intelligence development and related products ("AI Technologies"), AI Technologies and their current and potential future applications, as well as the legal and regulatory frameworks within which they operate, continue to rapidly evolve, and it is impossible to predict the full extent of current or future technology needs and the risks related thereto. The risk exists that portfolio companies' current technology infrastructure, systems, or products may become obsolete or less competitive due to the emergence of new technologies, innovations, or industry standards. The Company cautions investors not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. The Company is under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation, nor to conform prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and the Company does not intend to do so.

We exceeded our full-year FEEUM target in 3Q—one quarter early—reaching $40.7 billion, while continuing to deliver strong fee-related earnings growth and expanding margins, positioning DBRG to achieve and exceed our full year targets. The third quarter demonstrated the DigitalBridge investment thesis at scale: over 2.6 gigawatts leased across our portfolio—a company record, representing a third of the U.S. hyperscale market—validation that controlling a strategic 20+GW power bank translates to market leadership in AI infrastructure deployments. Ultimately, this momentum translates into substantial value creation for shareholders as these developments stabilize over the next three to five years and we capture share of the historic investment cycle in digital infrastructure.

(2) Inception date represents first close date of the fund, except for Credit I which is the first capital call date. The manager/general partner of the InfraBridge funds were acquired in February 2023. (3) Invested capital represents the original cost and subsequent fundings to investments. Invested capital includes financing costs and investment related expenses which are capitalized. With respect to InfraBridge funds, such costs are expensed during the period and excluded from their determination of invested capital. (4) Available capital represents unfunded commitments, including recallable capital. (5) Unrealized value represents total fair value of investments, net of outstanding balance under the fund’s credit facility, if any. (6) Realized value represents proceeds from dispositions that have closed and all earnings from both realized and unrealized investments, including interest, dividend and ticking fees. (7) Total value is the sum of unrealized fair value and realized value of investments. (8) Total gross multiple of invested capital ("MOIC") is calculated as the limited partners' portion of the fair value of unrealized investments, net of outstanding balance funded through the fund's credit facility, if any, plus any accrued but unpaid interest and coupon payments received, and limited partner realized distributions gross of general partner carried interest, divided by total limited partner contributions, without giving effect to the allocation of management fee expense, other fund expenses and general partner carried interest (both distributed and unrealized). Total net MOIC is calculated as the limited partners' portion of the fund's NAV plus limited partner realized distributions net of carried interest, divided by total limited partner contributions, after giving effect to the allocation of management fee expense, other fund expenses and general partner carried interest (both distributed and unrealized). MOIC calculations exclude capital not subject to fees and/or carried interest, including general partner and general partner affiliate capital. MOICs are calculated at the fund level and do not reflect MOICs at the individual investor level. (9) Gross internal rate of return ("IRR") represents annualized money-weighted return on invested capital based upon total value of limited partner contributions, that is limited partner realized distributions and limited partner unrealized NAV (based upon fair value of unrealized investments), without giving effect to the allocation of management fee expense, other fund expenses and general partner carried interest (both distributed and unrealized). Gross IRR is calculated from the date of the first capital call from limited partners (and therefore taking into account the use of any credit facility at the fund level) through the date of limited partner distributions for realized investments. For funds with unrealized investments, gross IRR uses a liquidating distribution equal to the limited partners' portion of the fair value of unrealized investments, net of outstanding amounts funded through the fund's credit facility, if any. Gross IRR is calculated at the fund level and does not reflect gross IRR of any individual investor due to timing of investor level inflows and outflows, among other factors. Net IRR is gross IRR after giving effect to the allocation of management fee expense, other fund expenses and general partner carried interest (both distributed and unrealized). Net IRR is calculated at the total fee-paying limited partner level and based upon the timing and amount of fee-paying third party limited partner inflows and outflows, and excludes capital not subject to fees and/or carried interest, including the portion of capital attributable to the general partner and general partner affiliate. As fees may vary by individual investor, net IRR does not represent the return of any individual investor. With respect to funds that have utilized borrowings from a credit facility to fund portfolio investments, organization expenses, partnership expenses, management fees, or other amounts in lieu of calling capital from limited partners for such purposes, gross and net IRR of the fund differs from what the IRR would have been if such borrowings or financings had not been utilized. Because IRR is calculated based on the actual dates of capital contributions from, and distributions to, limited partners (rather than based on the timing of when investments were made, for example), the use of such borrowings and financings in lieu or in advance of calling capital delays capital contributions from limited partners, generally resulting in higher IRRs than if such borrowings or financings had not been utilized and capital was called earlier from limited partners.. (10) Our funds generally permit us to recycle certain capital distributed to limited partners during certain time periods. The exclusion of recycled capital generally causes invested and realized amounts to be lower and MOICs to be higher than had recycled capital been included. FUND PERFORMANCE

38 R:11 G:35 B:65 R:1 G:52 B:75 R:0 G:87 B:122 R:0 G:126 B:92 R:0 G:152 B:99 R:34 G:208 B:129 R:167 G:169 B:180 R:208 G:209 B:219 R:73 G:82 B:82 R:91 G:103 B:113 This presentation contains the following non-GAAP financial measures attributable to the Operating Company: Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”) and Distributable Earnings (“DE”). FRE and DE are common metrics utilized in the investment management sector. We present FRE and DE at the Operating Company level, which is net of amounts attributed to noncontrolling interests, composed largely of the limited partners' share of our consolidated funds and Wafra's share of earnings attributed to our general partner interest in certain funds. For the same reasons, the Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to the Company’s investors and analysts. As we evaluate profitability based upon continuing operations, these non-GAAP measures exclude results from discontinued operations. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures of FRE and DE supplement and enhance the overall understanding of our underlying financial performance and trends, and facilitate comparison among current, past and future periods and to other companies in similar lines of business. We use FRE and DE in evaluating the Company’s ongoing business performance and in making operating decisions. For the same reasons, we believe FRE and DE are useful financial measures to the Company’s investors and analysts. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to and not an alternative or in lieu of GAAP net income (loss) as measures of operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities as indicators of liquidity. Our calculation of these non-GAAP measures may differ from methodologies utilized by other companies for similarly titled performance measures and, as a result, may not be fully comparable to those calculated by our peers. Fee-Related Earnings (“FRE”): Beginning in 2024, FRE is reported on a Company-wide basis, consistent with the entirety of the Company's business representing a single reportable segment. In prior periods, the Company had reported Investment Management FRE, which was an FRE measure specific to its previously reported Investment Management segment. The Investment Management segment previously bore only operating costs that were directly attributable or otherwise can be subjected to a reasonable and systematic attribution to the investment management business. Company-wide FRE includes all operating costs of the Company as a whole that fall within the definition of FRE. FRE is used to assess the extent to which direct base compensation and core operating expenses are covered by recurring fee revenues in our investment management business. FRE represents recurring fee revenue, including incentive fees that are not subject to realization events related to underlying fund investments, net of compensation and administrative expenses. Such expenses generally exclude non-cash equity-based compensation, carried interest compensation, and placement fee expense. Also, consistent with DE, FRE excludes non-core items, and presents costs reimbursable by our managed funds on a net basis (as opposed to a gross-up of other income and administrative expenses). Where applicable, FRE is adjusted for Start-Up FRE as defined below. Fee revenues earned from consolidated funds are eliminated in consolidation. However, because the fees are funded by and earned from third party investors in these consolidated funds who represent noncontrolling interests, our allocated share of net income from the consolidated funds is increased by the amount of fees that are eliminated. The elimination of these fees, therefore, does not affect net income (loss) attributable to DBRG. Accordingly, FRE is presented without giving effect to the elimination of fee revenue to the extent such fees meet the definition of FRE. FRE does not include distributed carried interest as these are not recurring revenues and are subject to variability given that they are dependent upon realization events related to underlying fund investments. Placement fees are also excluded from FRE as they are inconsistent in amount and frequency depending upon timing of fundraising for our funds. Other items excluded from FRE include realized principal investment income (loss); and interest, dividend and other income, all of which are not core to the investment management fee service business. To reflect a stabilized investment management business, FRE is further adjusted to exclude Start-Up FRE, where applicable. Start-Up FRE is FRE associated with new investment strategies that have 1) not yet held a first close raising FEEUM; or 2) not yet achieved break-even FRE only for investment products that may be terminated solely at the Company’s discretion. The Company regularly evaluates new investment strategies and exclude Start-Up FRE until such time a new strategy is determined to form part of the Company’s core investment management business. We believe that FRE is a useful measure to investors as it reflects the Company’s profitability based upon recurring fee streams that are not subject to realization events related to underlying fund investments, and without the effects of income taxes, leverage, non-cash expenses, income (loss) items that are unrealized and other items that may not be indicative of core operating results in an investment management fee service business.

Accordingly, we believe DE provides investors and analysts transparency into the measure of performance used by the Company in its decision making. DE is an after-tax measure that reflects the ongoing operating performance of the Company’s core business by including earnings that are realized and generally excluding non-cash expenses, other income (loss) items that are unrealized and items that may not be indicative of core operating results. Realized earnings included in DE are generally comprised of fee revenue, including all incentive fees, realized principal investment income (loss), distributed carried interest, interest and dividend income. Income (loss) on principal investments is realized generally when all or a portion of an investment is disposed, redeemed or repaid or if the Company no longer retains control, or when the Company receives income such as dividends, interest or other distributions of earnings. The following items are excluded from DE: transaction-related costs; non-core items; other gain (loss); unrealized principal investment income (loss); non-cash depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash impairment charges (if any); amortization of deferred financing costs, debt premiums and discounts; our share of unrealized carried interest allocation, net of associated expense; non-cash equity-based compensation costs; and preferred stock redemption gain (loss). Transaction-related costs are incurred in connection with acquisitions and costs of unconsummated transactions. Non-core items primarily include acquisition-related compensation and certain severance costs, as well as litigation and settlement-related matters, which are presented within compensation expense—cash and equity-based, administrative and other expenses, and other gain (loss), net on the GAAP income statement. These costs, along with certain other gain (loss) amounts, are excluded from DE as they are related to discrete items, are not considered part of our ongoing operating cost structure, and are not reflective of our core operating performance. Other items excluded from DE are generally non-cash in nature, including income (loss) items that are unrealized, or otherwise do not represent current or future cash obligations such as amortization of deferred financing costs. These items are excluded from DE as they do not contribute to the measurement of DE as a net realized earnings measure that is used in decision making related to distributions and reinvestments. Income taxes applied in the determination of DE generally represents GAAP income tax related to continued operations, and includes the benefit of deductions available to the Company on certain expense items excluded from DE (for example, equity-based compensation). As the income tax benefit arising from these excluded expense items do affect actual income tax paid or payable by the Company in any one period, the Company believes their inclusion in DE is appropriate to more accurately reflect amounts available for distribution.

AUM is generally composed of third party capital managed by the Company and its affiliates, including capital that is not yet fee earning, or not subject to fees and/or carried interest; and our general partner and general partner affiliate capital committed to our funds. AUM is largely based upon invested capital as of the reporting date, including capital funded through third party financing; and committed capital for funds in their commitment stage. Our AUM is not based upon any definition that may be set forth in the governing documents of our managed funds or other investment vehicles, and not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definition. Catch-up Fees Catch-up fees are management fees charged in any given period that pertain to prior periods. With respect to subsequent closing of commitments during the fundraising period, management fees based upon commitments are charged retroactively to the fee activation date at initial closing of the fund through the subsequent close date. Fee-Earning Equity Under Management (“FEEUM”) FEEUM represents the total capital managed by the Company and its affiliates that earns management fees and/or incentive fees or carried interest. FEEUM is generally based upon committed capital, invested capital, net asset value (“NAV“) or gross asset value (“GAV“), pursuant to the terms of each underlying investment management agreement. Fee Related Earnings Margin ("FRE Margin") FRE Margin % represents FRE divided by FRE fee revenue. GP Affiliated Investments GP Affiliated Investments represent principal investments in DBRG’s sponsored funds as general partner and as an affiliate of the general partner, and to a lesser extent, other investments associated with DBRG’s investment management business, including warehoused investments and CLO subordinated notes, but excluding carried interest allocation. Investments that are considered to be non-core to DBRG’s investment management business are excluded. Operating Company or OP DigitalBridge Operating Company, LLC, the operating partnership through which DBRG conducts all of its activities and holds substantially all of its assets and liabilities. OP share Represents the Company’s interest through the Operating Company and excludes redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in investment entities. DEFINITIONS
