The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Past Performance Past performance is not indicative of future results. There is no guarantee that any investment strategy referenced herein will work under all market conditions. Prior to making any investment decision, you should evaluate your ability to invest for the long-term, especially during periods of downturns in the market. You alone assume the responsibility of evaluating the merits and risks associated with any potential investment or investment strategy referenced herein. Notes on Presentation This presentation contains information regarding financial results that is calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), which management believes is relevant to assessing ACR's financial performance. Commencing with the Company's financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Earnings Available for Distribution ("EAD"), which is a non-GAAP financial measure intended to supplement the Company's financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, has replaced the Company's prior presentation of Core Earnings. In addition, Core Earnings results from prior reporting periods have been relabeled Earnings Available for Distribution. In line with evolving industry practices, the Company believes the term Earnings Available for Distribution more accurately reflects the principal purpose of the measure than the term Core Earnings and serves as a useful indicator for investors in evaluating the Company's performance and its ability to pay dividends. Please refer to page 26 for the reconciliation of Net Income (Loss), a GAAP financial measure, to EAD, a non-GAAP financial measure. Unless otherwise indicated, information included in this presentation is at or for the period ended December 31, 2022. Definitions Refer to page 30 for a description of certain terms not otherwise defined or footnoted, including EAD, Benchmark Rate, GAAP Book Value, and other key terms.

Key Definitions Earnings Available for Distribution: Earnings Available for Distribution ("EAD") (previously labeled Core Earnings) is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate its operating performance. EAD excludes the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that it believes are not necessarily indicative of its current CRE loan portfolio and other CRE-related investments and operations. EAD excludes income (loss) from all non-core assets comprising of investments and securities owned by the Company at the initial measurement date of December 31, 2016 in commercial finance, middle market lending, residential mortgage lending, certain legacy CRE loans and other non-CRE assets designated as assets held for sale. EAD, for reporting purposes, is defined as GAAP net income (loss) allocable to common shares, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) unrealized gains and losses, (iii) non-cash provisions for loan losses, (iv) non-cash impairments on securities, (v) non-cash amortization of discounts or premiums associated with borrowings, (vi) net income or loss from a limited partnership interest owned at the initial measurement date, (vii) net income or loss from non-core assets, (viii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (ix) foreign currency gains or losses and (x) income or loss from discontinued operations. EAD may also be adjusted periodically to exclude certain one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash items. Although pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Management Agreement the Company calculates the Manager's incentive compensation using EAD excluding incentive fees payable to the Manager, the Company includes incentive fees payable to the Manager in EAD for reporting purposes. Benchmark Rate: Benchmark Rate ("BR") refers to the collective one-month LIBOR and one-month Term Secured Overnight Finance Rate ("SOFR") rates that are used as benchmarks on the originated loans during the associated period. GAAP Book Value: GAAP book value is presented per common share, excluding unvested restricted stock and including warrants to purchase common stock. The measure refers to common stock book value, which is calculated as total stockholders' equity less preferred stock equity. Leverage Ratio: Leverage ratio is calculated as the respective period ended borrowings over total equity. Asset-specific leverage ratio excludes corporate debt from the calculation. Weighted Average Cost of Capital: Weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") calculation excludes the impact of common equity in the denominator. ACRESREIT.COM

Other Disclosures Commercial Real Estate Loans Risk Ratings CRE loans are collateralized by a diversified mix of real estate properties and are assessed for credit quality based on the collective evaluation of several factors, including but not limited to: collateral performance relative to underwritten plan, time since origination, current implied and/or reunderwritten loan-to-collateral value ratios, loan structure and exit plan. Depending on the loan's performance against these various factors, loans are rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with loans rated 1 representing loans with the highest credit quality and loans rated 5 representing loans with the lowest credit quality. The factors evaluated provide general criteria to monitor credit migration in the Company's loan portfolio; as such, a loan's rating may improve or worsen, depending on new information received. The criteria set forth below should be used as general guidelines, and therefore not every loan will have all of the characteristics described in each category below. ACRESREIT.COM Rating 1: Property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations Occupancy is stabilized, the property has had a history of consistently high occupancy, and the property has a diverse and high-quality tenant mix Rating 2: Property performance is consistent with underwritten expectations and covenants and performance criteria are being met or exceeded Occupancy is stabilized, near stabilized or is on track with underwriting Rating 3: Property performance lags behind underwritten expectations Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has some tenancy rollover Rating 4: Property performance significantly lags behind underwritten expectations. Performance criteria and loan covenants have required occasional waivers Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has a large amount of tenancy rollover Rating 5: Property performance is significantly worse than underwritten expectations. The loan is not in compliance with loan covenants and performance criteria and may be in default. Expected sale proceeds would not be sufficient to pay off the loan at maturity The property has a material vacancy rate and significant rollover of remaining tenants An updated appraisal is required upon designation and updated on an as-needed basis

Key Assumptions Illustrative Earnings Potential – page 28 Net deployable capital is calculated as the total current corporate capital of $635.4 million, less total projected commitments for investments in real estate, excluding potential financing, of $110.7 million and a working capital reserve of $40.0 million for a total of $484.7 million. Real estate depreciation, provision for credit losses, equity compensation expense and certain non-cash amortization expenses are excluded from the calculation of Earnings Available for Distribution. See page 30 for additional information. Projected Book Value Growth – page 29 Operating loss carryforwards comprise qualified REIT subsidiary ("QRS") net operating loss carryforwards, including projections for the tax years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, which have an unlimited useful life. Capital loss carryforwards comprise QRS net capital loss carryforwards, including projection for the tax year ended December 31, 2022, which have a useful life of five years. Common stock appreciation is calculated as the increase from the $8.26 price per share of ACR's common stock to $27.00, which is an estimate of 90% of the projected common stock book value. The "Min. Case" scenario assumes the partial utilization of the operating loss carryforwards. The "Base Case" scenario assumes the full utilization of existent operating loss carryforwards, plus a portion of the capital loss carryforwards. The "Max Case" scenario assumes the full utilization of existent operating loss carryforwards, plus a greater portion of the capital loss carryforwards than the "Base Case" Scenario. ACRESREIT.COM
