Slide 2

The information herein generally speaks as of the date hereof or such earlier date referred to on specific pages herein. In furnishing this document, Claros Mortgage Trust, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “CMTG”) do not undertake to update the information herein. No legal commitment or obligation shall arise by the provision of this presentation. All financial information is provided for general reference purposes only and is superseded by, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, CMTG’s financial statements.   No Offer or Solicitation This document does not constitute (i) an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities in CMTG, (ii) a means by which any other investment may be offered or sold or (iii) advice or an expression of our view as to whether an investment in CMTG is suitable for any person.   Portfolio Metrics; Basis of Accounting The performance information set forth in this document has generally been prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The basis on which CMTG’s operating metrics are presented in this document may vary from other reports or documents that CMTG prepares from time to time for internal or external use. Net Debt / Equity Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio, and Distributable Earnings Net Debt / Equity Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio, and Distributable Earnings are non-GAAP measures used to evaluate the Company’s performance excluding the effects of certain transactions, non-cash items and GAAP adjustments, as determined by our Manager, which the Company believes are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s current performance and operations. Net Debt / Equity Ratio is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as the ratio of asset-specific debt and Secured Term Loan, less cash and cash equivalents, to total equity. Total Leverage Ratio is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as the ratio of asset-specific debt and Secured Term Loan, plus non-consolidated senior interests held by third parties, less cash and cash equivalents, to total equity. Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as net income as determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense (income), (ii) incentive fees, (iii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (iv) any unrealized gains or losses from mark-to-market valuation changes (other than permanent impairments) that are included in net income for the applicable period, (v) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and (vi) certain non-cash items, which in the judgment of the Company’s Manager, should not be included in Distributable Earnings. Distributable Earnings is substantially the same as Core Earnings, excluding incentive fees, as defined in the Management Agreement, for the periods presented. The Company believes that Net Debt / Equity Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio provide meaningful information to consider in addition to the Company’s total liabilities and balance sheets. Net Debt / Equity Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio are used to evaluate the Company’s financial leverage. The Company believes that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to the Company’s net income and cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes the Distributable Earnings measure helps it to evaluate the Company’s performance excluding the effects of certain transactions, non-cash items and GAAP adjustments, as determined by the Company’s Manager, that it believes are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s current performance and operations. Distributable Earnings does not represent net income or cash flows from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, an indication of the Company’s cash flows from operating activities, a measure of the Company’s liquidity or an indication of funds available for the Company’s cash needs. In addition, the Company’s methodology for calculating Net Debt / Equity Ratio, Total Leverage Ratio, and Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures and, accordingly, the Company’s reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies. In order to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain, as dividends. Distributable Earnings, and other similar measures, have historically been a useful indicator of mortgage REITs’ ability to cover their dividends, and to mortgage REITs themselves in determining the amount of any dividends. Distributable Earnings is a key factor considered by the board of directors in setting the dividend and as such the Company believes Distributable Earnings is useful to investors. Accordingly, the Company believes providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to the Company’s net income as determined in accordance with GAAP is helpful to its stockholders in assessing the overall performance of its business. While Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of the Company’s unrealized current provision for credit losses, loan losses are charged off and recognized through Distributable Earnings when deemed non-recoverable. Non-recoverability is determined (i) upon the resolution of a loan (i.e. when the loan is repaid, fully or partially, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold), or (ii) with respect to any amount due under any loan, when such amount is determined to be non-collectible. The information provided herein is as of March 31, 2023 unless otherwise noted. Important Notices


Slide 3

Important Notices (cont’d) Determinations of Loan-to-Value / Loan-to-Cost LTV represents “loan-to-value” or “loan-to-cost”, which is calculated as our total loan commitment from time to time, as if fully funded, plus any financings that are pari passu with or senior to our loan, divided by our estimate of either (1) the value of the underlying real estate, determined in accordance with our underwriting process (typically consistent with, if not less than, the value set forth in a third-party appraisal) or (2) the borrower’s projected, fully funded cost basis in the asset, in each case, as we deem appropriate for the relevant loan and other loans with similar characteristics. Loans with specific current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserves are reflected as having an LTV of 100%. Underwritten values and projected costs should not be assumed to reflect our judgment of current market values or project costs, which may have changed materially since the date of origination. LTV is updated only in connection with a partial loan paydown and/or release of collateral, material changes to expected project costs, the receipt of a new appraisal (typically in connection with financing or refinancing activity) or a change in our loan commitment. Totals represent weighted average based on loan commitment, including non-consolidated senior interests and pari passu interests. Forward-Looking Statements This document and oral statements made in connection therewith contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements express CMTG’s views regarding future plans, expectations and the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. They include statements that include words such as “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project,” “plan,” “intend” and similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future operations, business strategy, cash flows, income, costs, expenses, liabilities and profits of CMTG. These statements are based on numerous assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties or change in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify, in particular due to the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the projected impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial performance and operating results. Actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements, and CMTG’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by numerous factors, including such known and unknown risks and uncertainties. As a result, forward-looking statements should be understood to be only predictions and statements of our current beliefs, and are not guarantees of performance. Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be forward-looking: expected investments by CMTG or any other parties; CMTG’s business and investment strategy; CMTG’s projected operating results; the timing of cash flows from CMTG’s investments; the state of the U.S. economy generally or in specific geographic regions; actions and initiatives of the U.S. government and changes to U.S. government policies; CMTG’s ability to obtain financing arrangements; CMTG’s expected leverage; general volatility of the markets in which CMTG may invest; the return or impact of current and future investments; changes in interest rates; rates of default or decreased recovery rates on CMTG’s target assets; changes in governmental regulations, tax law and rates, and similar matters (including interpretation thereof); CMTG’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT; availability of investment opportunities in mortgage-related and real estate-related investments and securities; the ability to locate suitable investments for CMTG, monitor, service, and administer CMTG’s investments and execute its investment strategy; availability of qualified personnel; estimates relating to CMTG’s ability to make distributions to its stockholders in the future; projections of net equity investment, yield, internal rate of return, and loan-to-value or loan-to-cost ratios; continuing impact of COVID-19; CMTG’s understanding of its competition; market trends in CMTG’s industry, interest rates, real estate values, the debt securities markets or the general economy; and potential MREG development projects. The forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, assumptions, and expectations about future performance, taking into account all information currently available. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These beliefs, assumptions, and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known. If a change occurs, CMTG’s business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible to predict those events or how they may affect CMTG. Except as required by law, CMTG is not obligated to, and does not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Endnotes Based on carrying value net of specific CECL reserves. Calculated as the annualized quarterly dividend per share divided by book value per share. All-in yield represents the weighted average annualized yield to initial maturity of each loan, inclusive of coupon and contractual fees, based on the applicable floating benchmark rate/floors (if applicable), in place as of March 31, 2022. For loans placed on non-accrual, the annualized yield to initial maturity used in calculating the weighted average annualized yield to initial maturity is 0%. Senior loans include senior mortgages and similar loans, including related contiguous subordinate loans (if any), and pari passu participations in senior mortgage loans. LTV represents underwritten “loan-to-value” or “loan-to-cost.” Underwritten values and projected costs should not be assumed to reflect our judgment of current market values or project costs, which may have changed materially since the date of origination. See Important Notices beginning on page 1 for additional information. Net Debt / Equity Ratio is calculated as the ratio of asset-specific debt and Secured Term Loan, less cash and cash equivalents, to total equity. For further information, please refer to Item 2 (MD&A) of our 10-Q. Excludes our one real estate owned (REO) investment, unless otherwise noted. Loan commitment represents principal outstanding plus remaining unfunded loan commitments. Refer to page 21 for a reconciliation of Distributable Earnings to GAAP Net Income attributable to its common stock. Adjusted book value per share includes general CECL and depreciation. Total Leverage Ratio is calculated as the ratio of asset-specific debt and Secured Term Loan, plus non-consolidated senior interests held by third parties, less cash and cash equivalents, to total equity. Subject to approval of financing counterparty as well as pledging of additional unencumbered assets. Weighted average spreads exclude LIBOR / SOFR floors. Fixed-rate financings are presented as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rate. MRECS Investment Committee Member.
