Fourth Quarter 2015 Results

NorthStar Realty Europe reported CAD for the fourth quarter 2015 of $13.9 million, or $0.22 per share. Net income (loss) to common stockholders for the fourth quarter 2015 was $(33.9) million, or $(0.55) per diluted share mainly driven by depreciation, amortization and transaction costs.

Mahbod Nia, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report strong earnings in our first quarter since the spin-off from NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. We have invested a considerable amount of effort into the active management of our properties as reflected in the year end results and portfolio valuation of $2.6 billion that implies a NAV of $18 per share and represents a substantial premium to our current value as ascribed by the public market. We remain focused on unlocking this embedded value for our stockholders through a number of initiatives including the monetization of primarily non-strategic properties at attractive valuations and further repurchases of our common stock."

Mr. Nia continued, "We own a desirable collection of prime office properties with a strong income profile that positions us well to benefit from a continued recovery in Europe while simultaneously possessing certain defensive characteristics that have the ability to weather unforeseen market volatility."

Primary Focus on Germany, the United Kingdom and France

NorthStar Realty Europe completed its spin-off from NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. in October 2015. NorthStar Realty Europe's primary business objective is to generate a stable and recurring income stream for distribution to stockholders supplemented by capital growth over time. Through its experienced local team and established networks, NorthStar Realty Europe seeks to source properties that are capable of generating stable and recurring levels of cash flow with potential for capital growth as the European economy recovers and through active asset management initiatives.

NorthStar Realty Europe intends to primarily focus on its core portfolio, which is comprised predominantly of prime office properties in key cities within Germany, the United Kingdom and France. These are not only the largest economies in Europe but the largest, most established, liquid and among the most stable office markets in Europe. As such, certain non-strategic properties will continue to be actively managed and strategically divested over time with net proceeds being used to repurchase NorthStar Realty Europe's common stock pursuant to the $100 million stock repurchase program, repay borrowings or reinvested in our core markets.
