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 December 31, 2016. The condensed consolidated GAAP statement of operations and balance sheet are presented on pages 11-12 of this press release.

___________________________________

The Assets Under Management presented for Credit includes $1,696 million of AUM related to co-managed funds as of 4Q 2016.

The Assets Under Management presented for Liquid Markets includes $4,365 million of AUM related to the Affiliated Manager as of 4Q 2016.

GAAP RESULTS

Fortress recorded GAAP net income of $165 million, or $0.33 per diluted Class A share, for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to GAAP net income of $116 million, or $0.20 per diluted Class A share, for the fourth quarter of 2015. 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 increase in Fortress’s fourth quarter 2016 GAAP net income was primarily driven by a $41 million increase in other income and a $24 million increase in revenues, partially offset by a $38 million increase in expenses.

Other income in the fourth quarter of 2016 totaled $23 million, up from a loss of $18 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to net realized and unrealized gains in the fair value of derivatives, primarily related to Japanese Yen foreign exchange contracts, and net realized and unrealized gains in the fair value of our direct investments, including options held in our publicly traded permanent capital vehicles.

The $24 million increase in revenues was primarily attributable to higher incentive income, partially offset by lower management fees.

The $38 million increase in expenses was primarily related to higher compensation and benefits expense.

3 The Assets Under Management presented for the Credit Hedge Funds includes $1,696 million related to co-managed funds and $840 million related to the third party originated JP Funds and Value Recovery Funds. The Assets Under Management presented for the Liquid Hedge Funds includes $4,365 million related to the Affiliated Manager. 4 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 3 above). The Average Management Fee Rate presented for the Liquid Hedge Funds excludes the Affiliated Manager. 5 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 certain FCO Managed Account in its investment period and a portion of Long Dated Value Fund I, whose capital was above the incentive income threshold as of December 31, 2016), 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. 6 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 $14 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 December 31, 2016. Undistributed Incentive Income for Permanent Capital Vehicles includes 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 and (ii) sold all of its Permanent Capital Vehicle common shares which it received as incentive income, based on their December 31, 2016 closing price. 7 Net Investment Income includes Unallocated Investment Income of $1 million and Unallocated Expenses of $2 million.

Pre-tax DE was $107 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, down 18% from $130 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to lower management fees, lower net investment income and higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher earnings from Affiliated Manager. Pre-tax DE was $362 million in the full year of 2016, down from $391 million in full year 2015, primarily due to lower management fees, lower net investment income and higher profit sharing expenses, partially offset by higher incentive income, lower operating expenses and higher earnings from Affiliated Manager.

Management fees were $133 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, down from $148 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower management fees from the Liquid Hedge Funds and Private Equity Funds, partially offset by higher management fees from the Permanent Capital Vehicles. Management fees were $551 million in the full year of 2016, down from $582 million in the full year of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower management fees from the Liquid Hedge Funds and Private Equity Funds, partially offset by higher management fees from the Credit Hedge Funds, Credit PE Funds and Permanent Capital Vehicles.

Incentive income in the fourth quarter of 2016 totaled $133 million, up from $132 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to higher incentive income from the Credit Hedge Funds and Permanent Capital Vehicles, partially offset by lower incentive income from the Credit PE Funds. Incentive income in the full year of 2016 totaled $441 million, up from $436 million in the full year of 2015. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher incentive income from the Credit Hedge Funds, partially offset by lower incentive income from the Permanent Capital Vehicles.

Earnings from Affiliated Manager totaled $10 million and $15 million in the fourth quarter and full year of 2016, respectively, up from a $1 million loss and $9 million in the fourth quarter and full year of 2015, respectively.

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 December 31, 2016, AUM totaled $69.6 billion, down slightly compared to the previous quarter. As of year end, approximately 87% of alternative AUM was in funds with long-term investment structures.

During the quarter, Fortress’s AUM decreased primarily due to (i) $1.6 billion of net market-driven valuation declines, (ii) $0.5 billion of capital distributions to investors, and (iii) $0.1 billion in distributions to investors in redeeming capital accounts. These decreases to AUM were partially offset by (i) $1.0 billion of net client inflows for Logan Circle, (ii) a $0.6 billion increase in invested capital, and (iii) $0.1 billion of equity raised that was directly added to AUM.

As of December 31, 2016, the Credit Funds and Private Equity Funds had $6.3 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 $2.7 billion that is only available for follow-on investments, management fees and other fund expenses.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

Below is a discussion of fourth quarter and full year 2016 segment results and business highlights.

Credit:

DBSO LP net returns for the fourth quarter and full year 2016 of 3.3% and 9.7%, respectively

FCO, FCO II, FCO III, FJOF and FJOF II (Yen) recorded annualized inception-to-date net IRRs of 23.3%, 16.0%, 10.3%, 31.9% and 27.4%, respectively, through December 31, 2016
Recorded $91 million of gross incentive income in the quarter and $372 million of gross incentive income for full year 2016
Approximately $1.0 billion of gross embedded incentive income that has not yet been recognized in DE

(See supplemental data on pages 18-19 for more detail on Credit results)

The Credit business, which includes our Credit PE Funds and Credit Hedge Funds, generated pre-tax DE of $55 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, down from $76 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease in DE was primarily driven by lower incentive income and higher operating expenses, partially offset by lower profit sharing expense.

The Credit Hedge Funds generated pre-tax DE of $35 million for the quarter, up from $14 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to higher incentive income. Fortress’s flagship credit hedge fund, DBSO LP, had net returns of 3.3% for the quarter and full year net returns of 9.7% as of December 31, 2016.

The Credit PE Funds generated pre-tax DE of $20 million in the quarter, down from $62 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to lower incentive income. Over the last twelve months, the Credit PE Funds have recognized $241 million of gross incentive income, while gross unrecognized Credit PE incentive income has increased $63 million year-over-year to $930 million as of December 31, 2016.

Private Equity and Permanent Capital Vehicles:

Raised $135 million of equity for New Media that was directly added to AUM in the quarter
Subsequent to year end, raised approximately $835 million of equity for New Residential

(See supplemental data on pages 16-17 for more detail on Private Equity results)

The Private Equity business recorded pre-tax DE of $47 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, including $32 million for the Permanent Capital Vehicles and $15 million for the Private Equity Funds, down from $58 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower management fees for the Private Equity Funds, partially offset by higher incentive income for the Permanent Capital Vehicles.

During the quarter, the Permanent Capital Vehicles generated $41 million of incentive income, including contributions from New Residential, New Media Investment Group Inc. (NYSE: NEWM), New Senior Investment Group Inc. (NYSE: SNR) and Eurocastle Investment Limited (Euronext Amsterdam: ECT).

Logan Circle:

In the fourth quarter and full year of 2016, all 16 Logan Circle strategies generated positive net returns and outperformed their respective benchmarks
Net client inflows of $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016

(See supplemental data on page 22 for more detail on Logan Circle results)

Logan Circle, our traditional asset management business, recorded a pre-tax DE loss of $1 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. For the full year of 2016, Logan Circle recorded pre-tax DE of $4 million, up from a $2 million pre-tax DE loss in 2015, primarily due to higher management fees.

Logan Circle ended the year with $33.4 billion in AUM, up 7% compared to the previous year, primarily due to $2.4 billion of market-driven valuation gains.

For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016, all 16 Logan Circle fixed income strategies outperformed their respective benchmarks. Since inception, 15 of 16 Logan Circle fixed income strategies have outperformed their respective benchmarks and eight were ranked in the top quartile of performance for their competitor universe.

Liquid Hedge Funds:

Earnings from Affiliated Manager totaled $10 million in the quarter

(See supplemental data on page 20 for more detail on Liquid Hedge Funds results)

The Liquid Hedge Funds recorded pre-tax DE of $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, up from a $2 million pre-tax DE loss in the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher earnings from the Affiliated Manager, partially offset by lower management fees.

The Liquid Hedge Funds had $4.6 billion of AUM at quarter end, including $4.4 billion related to the Affiliated Manager.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL

As of December 31, 2016, Fortress had cash and cash equivalents of $397 million and debt obligations of $183 million.

As of December 31, 2016, Fortress had approximately $0.9 billion of investments in Fortress funds and options in publicly traded permanent capital vehicles and a total of $143 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 $433 million at quarter end, representing net unrealized gains that have not yet been recognized for segment reporting purposes.

DIVIDEND

Fortress’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per dividend paying share. The dividend is payable on March 21, 2017 to Class A shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 15, 2017. Please see below for information on the U.S. federal income tax implications of the dividend.

In connection with the proposed merger between Fortress and an affiliate of SoftBank, each Fortress Class A shareholder may also receive a dividend in an amount not to exceed $0.09 per share with respect to the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017, if closing does not occur prior to the applicable payment date. In connection with the merger, Fortress has contractually agreed that it will not pay dividends for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017 in any amount greater than $0.09 per share, and that it will not pay any dividends with respect to periods ending after that while the merger agreement remains in effect. Fortress Class A shareholders should therefore not anticipate receiving a dividend with respect to the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2017 or September 30, 2017, even if the merger has not yet been consummated at the time of the customary dividend payment dates for such periods.

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 11 to the financial statements included in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

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 11 to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

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. The Company believes it is useful for investors in computing the aggregate amount of cash required to make a current per share distribution of a given amount per share. 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.
