12 Safehold | The Ground Lease Company | May 2025 Earnings Reconciliation APPENDIX Note: Figures in millions except for per share amounts. Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding non-recurring gains and losses and EPS excluding non-recurring gains and losses are non-GAAP measures used as supplemental performance measures to give management and investors a view of net income and EPS more directly derived from operating activities in the period in which they occur. Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding non-recurring gains and losses is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, prior to the effect of non-recurring gains and losses, as adjusted to exclude corresponding amounts allocable to noncontrolling interests. It should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as shown in our consolidated statements of operations. EPS excluding non-recurring gains and losses is calculated as net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding non-recurring gains and losses, divided by the weighted average number of diluted common shares. There were no merger or Caret related costs or general provision for credit losses on prior period balances, which were excluded from corresponding metrics in prior periods, in Q1'25 or Q1'24. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders or EPS, respectively (in each case determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”)). These measures may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other companies. a. Non-recurring losses were $1.9m in Q1’25 for the write-off of preferred equity position in leasehold joint venture and $0 in Q1’24. 2025 2024 Net income (loss) attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders $29,364 $30,728 Add: Non-recurring (gains) / lossesa 1,945 - Net income excluding non-recurring (gains) / losses $31,309 $30,728 Net income attributable to Safehold Inc. common shareholders excluding non-recurring (gains) / losses $31,309 $30,728 Weighted average number of common shares - basic 71,521 71,170 Weighted average number of common shares - diluted 71,635 71,240 EPS excluding non-recurring (gains) / losses - basic & diluted $0.44 $0.43 For the three months ended March 31,

In connection with Feb'22 sale, we were obligated to seek to provide a public market listing for the Series A Caret Units by Q1'24. Because public market liquidity was not achieved, the investors in the initial round had the option to cause their Series A Caret units to be redeemed at their original purchase price reduced by an amount equal to the amount of subsequent cash distributions on such units. In April 2024, the ~$19m Series A round was redeemed. 2H’18: Formed a subsidiary called “Caret” designed to help recognize the value of the capital appreciation above Cost Basis.

15 Safehold | The Ground Lease Company | May 2025 Unrealized Capital Appreciation Details APPENDIX Refer to the Glossary in the Appendix for a definition of Owned Residual Portfolio, Unrealized Capital Appreciation (“UCA”), and“Combined Property Value” (“CPV”). SAFE relies in part on CBRE’s valuations of the CPV of our portfolio in calculating UCA. SAFE may utilize management’s estimate of CPV for ground lease investments recently acquired that CBRE has not yet evaluated. For construction deals, CPV represents the cost to build inclusive of the land. CPV is a hypothetical value of the as-improved subject property, based on an assumed ownership structure different from the actual ownership structure. CPV does not take into account the in-place Ground Lease or other contractual obligations and is based on the hypothetical condition that the property is leased atmarket rent at stabilized levels, where applicable, as of the valuation date, without consideration of any costs to achieve stabilization through lease up and associated costs. In determining the CPV of each property, CBRE has utilized the sales comparison approach, based on sales of comparable properties, adjusted for differences, and the income capitalization approach, based on the subject property’s income-producing capabilities. The assumptions applied to determine values for these purposes vary by property type and are selected for use based on a number of factors, including information supplied by our tenants, market data and other factors. We currently intend that the CPV associated with each Ground Lease in our portfolio will be valued approximately every 12 calendar months and no less frequently than every 24 months. Lagging valuations may not accurately capture declines in our UCA, CPV or derived metrics such as GLTV, and such declines could be reflected in future periods, and any such decline could be material. The calculation of the estimated UCA in our Owned Residual Portfolio is subject to a number of limitations and qualifications. We do not typically receive full financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the commercial properties being operated on the land subject to our Ground Leases. In some cases, we are prohibited by confidentiality provisions in our Ground Leases from disclosing information that we receive from our tenants to CBRE. Additionally, we do not independently investigate or verify the information supplied by our tenants, but rather assume the accuracy and completeness of such information and the appropriateness of the accounting methodology or principles, assumptions, estimates and judgments made by our tenants in providing the information to us. Our calculation of UCA in our Owned Residual Portfolio is not subject to U.S. GAAP and will not be subject to independent audit. We conduct rolling property valuations; therefore, our estimated UCA and CPV may not reflect current market conditions and may decline materially in the future. There can be no assurance that we will realize any incremental value from the UCA in our Owned Residual Portfolioor that the market price of our common stock will reflect any value attributable thereto. We will generally not be able to realize value from UCA through near term transactions, as properties are leased to tenants pursuant to long-term leases. For more information on UCA and CPV, including additional limitations and qualifications, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 5, 2025 and the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 , as updated from time to time in our subsequent periodic reports, filed with the SEC. Certain interests (Caret units) in our subsidiary Safehold GL Holdings LLC (“Portfolio Holdings”) are structured to track andcapture UCA to the extent UCA is realized upon sale of our land and Ground Leases or certain other specified events. Under a shareholder-approved plan, management was granted up to 15% of the total authorized Caret units,1,371,254 of which are currently outstanding and some of which remains subject to time-based vesting. See our 2025 Proxy Statement for additional information on the long-term incentive plan. As of March 31, 2025, we had sold an aggregate of 122,500 Caret units to third-party investors, including affiliates of MSD Partners, L.P., that remain outstanding. As of March 31, 2025, we own approximately 84.3% of the outstanding Caret units. In connection with the sale of 137,142 Caret units in February 2022 (28,571 of which were committed to be purchased at the time, but did not close), we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide public market liquidity for such units, or securities into which they may be exchanged, prior to the second anniversary of such sales. Because public market liquidity was not achieved by February 2024, the investors in the February 2022 transaction had the right to cause their Caret units purchased in February 2022 to be redeemed at the purchase price less the amounts of distributions previously made on such units. In April 2024, such outstanding units were redeemed.

16 Safehold | The Ground Lease Company | May 2025 Glossary APPENDIX Aggregate Cost Basis Represents Cost Basis plus unfunded commitments of the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. For unfunded commitments, it represents the aggregate future amount to be paid under the commitments. Aggregate Gross Book Value Represents the Gross Book Value plus unfunded commitments of the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. For unfunded commitments, it represents the aggregate future amount to be paid under the commitments. Annualized Cash Yield Calculated as the annualized base Cash Rent plus Percentage Rent divided by Cost Basis, each for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. Annualized Yield Calculated as the annualized base Net Rent plus Percentage Rent divided by GBV, each for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. Caret Adjusted Yield Using the same cash flows as Inflation Adjusted Yield except that initial cash outlay (i.e., Safehold’s basis) is reduced by ~$1.7b, which amount corresponds to Safehold’s share (~84%) of the most recent third-party Caret valuation of $2.0b from the Series B round (see page 13 for more detail on the Caret valuation). Cash Interest Rate The current cash interest rate of debt. Cash Rent Represents in-place base ground lease income recognized excluding straight-line rent, amortization of lease intangibles, and non-cash income from sales-type leases, each for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. Combined Property Value (CPV) The current combined value of the land, buildings and improvements relating to a commercial property, as if there was no ground lease on the land at the property. CPV is generally based on independent appraisals; however, the Company will use actual sales prices/management estimates for recently acquired and originated ground leases for which appraisals are not yet available. For construction projects, CPV represents the total cost associated with the acquisition, development, and construction of the project. Core Ground Lease Portfolio Represents the portfolio of assets owned at the date indicated and our proportionate share of two unconsolidated joint venture assets, and excludes the Star Holdings Loan, Leasehold Loan Fund and GL Plus Fund. Cost Basis Represents the historical purchase price of an asset in the Core Ground Lease Portfolio, including capitalized acquisition costs of the assets. Debt Effective Interest Rate Represents the all-in stated interest rate over the term of debt from funding through maturity based on the contractual payments owed excluding the effect of debt premium, discount and deferred financing costs. Economic Yield Computed similarly to effective yield on a bond, the Economic Yield is calculated using projected cash flows beginning 4/1/2025 for the duration of the lease, with an initial cash outflow and a residual value equal to our cost of the land. The cash flows incorporate contractual fixed escalators and the impact of an assumed inflation scenario on variable rate escalators such as (i) CPI adjustments and CPI lookbacks, (ii) percentage of revenues the building generates and/or (iii) periodic fair market valuations of the land. For CPI adjustments and CPI lookbacks, this metric uses the Federal reserve long-term 2.0% CPI target for the duration of the leases. For ground leases that have other forms of inflation capture including fair market value resets and percentage rent based on building revenue, this metric assumes fair market value and building revenue increase by the Federal Reserve long-term 2.0% CPI target annually. Target yields and cash flow multiples assume no default, full rent collections, no destruction and no casualty events. GAAP Rent In-place revenue from operating and sales-type leases recognized under GAAP, each for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. GL Plus Fund The Company’s investment fund that targets the origination and acquisition of Ground Leases for commercial real estate projects that are in a pre-development phase. Gross Book Value (GBV) Represents Cost Basis plus accrued interest on sales-type leases of the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. The amount is not reduced for general provision for credit losses allowances. Ground Lease-to-Value (GLTV) Calculated as the Aggregate GBV divided by CPV of the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. Safehold uses this metric to assess risk and our seniority level in a real estate capital structure. Similar to the concept of the LTV metric used in the loan market. Inflation Adjusted Yield For CPI adjustments and CPI lookbacks, Inflation Adjusted Yield is computed in the same manner as Economic Yield, assuming a specific alternative inflation scenario for the duration of the leases. For ground leases that have other forms of inflation capture including fair market value resets and percentage rent based on building revenue, Inflation Adjusted Yield is based on Economic Yield and assumes fair market value and building revenue increase by the assumed inflation scenario annually. Net Rent GAAP Rent less depreciation & amortization for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. This includes the amortization of a right of use asset recorded as real estate expense (totals $1.0m annualized). Includes our proportionate share of GAAP rent and amortization from our equity method investments, each for the Core Ground Lease Portfolio. Owned Residual Portfolio Represents the portfolio of properties under which Safehold owns a ground lease and reflects Safehold’s right to the land, property and tenant improvements at the end of the lease. The current value of the Owned Residual Portfolio is typically represented by the Combined Property Value or CPV of our portfolio. Percentage Rent Represents TTM cash percentage rent paid by the property. Property NOI Represents the net operating income (NOI) of the building/Safehold’s ground lease tenant prior to paying ground lease rent. Rent Coverage The ratio of Property NOI as provided by the building owner or estimated Property NOI to the annualized Cash Rent due to Safehold. The Company adjusts Property NOI for material non-recurring items and uses estimates of the stabilized Property NOI for Rent Coverage calculations if it is not contractually entitled to current tenant information, does not receive current tenant information, or if the properties are under construction / in transition. These estimates are based on leasing activity at the property, third party appraisals and available market information, such as leasing activity at comparable properties in the relevant market. Safehold /Safehold Ground Lease A ground lease originated and structured by Safehold. Unrealized Capital Appreciation (UCA) Calculated as the difference between CPV of the Core Ground Lease Portfolio and the Aggregate Cost Basis. The Company tracks UCA because we believe it provides relevant information with regard to the three key investment characteristics of our ground leases: (1) the safety of our position in a tenant’s capital structure; (2) the quality of the long-term cash flows generated by our portfolio rent that increases over time; and (3) increases and decreases in CPV of the portfolio that will ultimately revert to us.

17 Safehold | The Ground Lease Company | May 2025 Endnotes APPENDIX (1) Includes non-binding LOIs for investments that closed subsequent to quarter end. There were no closed investments in the first quarter. Non-binding LOIs assume 100% ownership. Final ownership percentage may be less than 100%. There can be no assurance that Safehold will close transactions under LOI. For estimates of Economic Yield and Rent Coverage, the going-in yield for leases under LOI is calculated assuming a 4.85% 30-year Treasury yield. (2) CPV used to calculate GLTV is generally based on independent appraisals; however, the Company will use actual sales prices / management estimates for recently acquired and originated ground leases for which appraisals are not yet available. We currently intend that the CPV associated with each Ground Lease in our portfolio will be valued approximately every 12 calendar months and no less frequently than every 24 months. (3) The Company uses estimates of the stabilized Property NOI for Rent Coverage calculations if it is not contractually entitled to current tenant information, does not receive current tenant information, or if the properties are under construction / in transition. These estimates are based on leasing activity at the property, third party appraisals and available market information, such as leasing activity at comparable properties in the relevant market. (4) Represents Core Ground Lease Portfolio. (5) The portfolio is presented using Aggregate Gross Book Value. As of 3/31/25, the portfolio included $32m of Safehold’s forward commitments that have not yet been funded (such funding commitments are subject to certain conditions). There can be no assurance Safehold will fully fund these transactions. (6) Original Safehold target commitment of $275m and original JV partner target commitment of $225m. Each party's commitment is discretionary. On 8/30/24, Safehold purchased JV partner’s outstanding commitment for all existing assets in the JV and now owns 100% for those assets. The venture remains in place, and the JV partner’s participation right in certain qualifying ground lease investment opportunities expired on 9/30/24. $400m remaining capital (Safehold $220m, JV partner $180m) represents original $500m target commitment (Safehold $275m, JV partner $225m) less funded amount of $100m (Safehold $55m, JV partner $45m), which can be invested on a discretionary basis. (7) Square footage and total units/keys are based on information provided by the building owners, public records, broker reports and other third-party sources and are based on the primary usage of the building. No assurance can be made to the accuracy of these figures. (8) Does not include $32m of Safehold’s forward commitments. (9) Annualized Yield is based on GAAP treatment, which assumes 0% growth / inflation environment for the remaining term of existing legacy ground leases that have structures with a component of variable rent. (10) Certain acquired leases with legacy ground rent structures have a component of variable rent, including percentage rent, fair market value reset, or CPI-based escalators not captured in Annualized Yield. These leases have $0 go forward economics under GAAP. These leases (16% of portfolio) earn 3.4% for Annualized Yield but earns 6.1% Economic Yield when using 2.0% annual growth / inflation. (11) Safehold originated ground leases typically include a periodic rent increase based on prior years’ cumulative CPI growth with the initial lookback year generally starting between lease year 11 and 21. These CPI lookbacks are generally capped between 3.0% - 3.5% per annum compounded. In the event cumulative inflation growth for the lookback period exceeds the cap, the excess is not captured by the CPI lookback. Other forms of inflation capture include fair market value resets and percentage rent, typically for acquired ground leases. 83% of our portfolio as determined by cash rent has some form of a CPI lookback and 94% of our portfolio as determined by cash rent has some form of inflation capture. (12) Illustrative Caret Adjusted Yield uses the 6.0% Inflation Adjusted Yield as the starting point, and reduce initial cash outlay (i.e. Safehold’s basis) by ~$1.7b, which is Safehold’s 84% ownership of Caret using its most recent $2 billion valuation (In conjunction with the Merger, MSD committed in Series B round to buy 1.0% of the total outstanding Caret Units for $20m with no redemption rights in November 2022 and certain other investors committed to buy an aggregate of 22,500 Caret Units on the same terms and conditions in November 2022. Purchase closed on 3/31/23 in connection with the merger. In April 2024, the Series A round was redeemed.)

These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views about future events, and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The Company does not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: (1) any delay in or our inability to realize the expected benefits of the merger of Safehold Inc. and iStar Inc. and/or our spin-off of Star Holdings (collectively, the “transactions”); (2) changes in tax laws, regulations, rates, policies or interpretations; (3) the impact of actions taken by significant stockholders; (4) general economic and business conditions; (5) market demand for ground lease capital; (6) the Company’s ability to source new ground lease investments; (7) the availability of funds to complete new ground lease investments; (8) risks that the rent adjustment clauses in the Company's leases will not adequately keep up with changes in market value and inflation; (9) risks associated with certain tenant and industry concentrations in our portfolio; (10) conflicts of interest and other risks associated with our relationship with Star Holdings and other significant investors; (11) risks associated with using debt to fund the Company’s business activities (including changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads, the ability to source financing at rates below the capitalization rates of our assets, and refinancing and interest rate risks); (12) risks that we will be unable to realize incremental value from the UCA in our Owned Residual Portfolio; (13) the value that will be attributed to Caret units in the future; (14) risks that tenant rights in certain of our ground leases will limit or eliminate the Owned Residual Portfolio realizations from such properties; (15) general risks affecting the real estate industry and local real estate markets (including, without limitation, the potential inability to enter into or renew ground leases at favorable rates, including with respect to contractual rate increases or participating rent); (16) dependence on the creditworthiness of our tenants and their financial condition and operating performance; (17) escalating geopolitical tensions as a result of the war in Ukraine and the evolving conflict in Israel and surrounding areas; (18) the impact of tariffs and global trade disruptions on us and our customers; and (19) competition from other ground lease investors and risks associated with our failure to qualify for taxation as a REIT, as amended. Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and any subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for further discussion of these and other investment considerations. The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. This presentation also contains modeling and information relating to potential inflation, which are presented for illustrative purposes only, and are not guarantees or otherwise necessarily indicative of future performance. In addition, this presentation contains certain figures, projections and calculations based in part on management’s underlying assumptions. Management believes these assumptions are reasonable; however, other reasonable assumptions could provide differing outputs. Important Note re: Certain Metrics; Readers of this presentation are cautioned that certain metrics that we report and monitor may not reflect current market values, including the decline in office values. Our estimated UCA and CPV are based, in part, on valuations associated with each Ground Lease that occur every 12 to 24 months, and lagging valuations may not accurately capture declines. Additionally, given the limitations of the information used in our estimates, it is possible that actual Ground Rent Coverage may be lower than our estimates. Readers are urged to read our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 when it is filed with the SEC for a more fulsome discussion of our quarterly results, including the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included therein. Merger Transaction / Basis of Presentation: On November 10, 2022, Safehold Inc. ("Old Safe") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with iStar Inc. ("iStar"), and on March 31, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Old Safe merged with and into iStar, at which time Old Safe ceased to exist, and iStar continued as the surviving corporation and changed its name to "Safehold Inc." (the "Merger"). For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a "reverse acquisition" in which iStar is considered the legal acquirer and Old Safe is considered the accounting acquirer. As a result, the historical financial statements of Old Safe became the historical financial statements of Safehold Inc. Unless context otherwise requires, references to "iStar" refer to iStar prior to the Merger, and references to "we," "our" and "the Company" refer to the business and operations of Old Safe and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Merger and to Safehold Inc. (formerly known as iStar Inc.) and its consolidated subsidiaries following the consummation of the Merger. Investor Relations Contact Pearse Hoffmann 212.930.9400 [email protected]
