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 All financial information is provided for general reference purposes only and is superseded by, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, CMTG’s financial statements.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 stock-based compensation expense, (ii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (iii) 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, (iv) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and (v) certain non-cash items, which in the judgment of the Company’s Manager, should not be included in Distributable Earnings. Furthermore, the Company presents Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses, which includes principal charge-offs, as the Company believes these non-recurring items are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s current performance and operations. 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 and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses provide 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 Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses help 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 and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses do 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, Distributable Earnings, and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses 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 and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses 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, Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses, 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 and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses are key factors considered by the board of directors in setting the dividend and as such the Company believes Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings prior to realized gains and losses are useful to investors. Accordingly, the Company believes providing these metrics 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 expected credit loss reserve, 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 when we acquire title in the case of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu or assignment in lieu of foreclosure), 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 June 30, 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 and expectations. 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. 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: market trends in CMTG’s industry, interest rates, real estate values, the debt securities markets or the general economy; the demand for commercial real estate loans; CMTG’s business and investment strategy; CMTG’s operating results; actions and initiatives of the U.S. government and governments outside of the United States, changes to government policies and the execution and impact of these actions, initiatives and policies; the state of the economy generally or in specific geographic regions; economic trends and economic recoveries; CMTG’s ability to obtain and maintain financing arrangements, including secured debt arrangements and securitizations; the timing and amount of expected future fundings of unfunded commitments; the availability of debt financing from traditional lenders; the volume of short-term loan extensions; the demand for new capital to replace maturing loans; CMTG’s expected leverage; general volatility of the securities markets in which we participate; changes in the value of CMTG’s assets, and the scope of CMTG’s target assets; interest rate mismatches between CMTG’s target assets and any borrowings used to fund such assets; changes in interest rates and the market value of CMTG’s target assets, changes in prepayment rates on CMTG’s target assets, effects of hedging instruments on CMTG’s target assets, and rates of default or decreased recovery rates on CMTG’s target assets; the degree to which hedging strategies may or may not protect us from interest rate volatility; impact of and changes in governmental regulations, tax law and rates, accounting, legal or regulatory issues or guidance and similar matters; CMTG’s continued maintenance of our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; CMTG’s continued exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"); the availability of opportunities to acquire commercial mortgage related, real estate-related and other securities; the availability of qualified personnel; estimates relating to CMTG’s ability to make distributions to our stockholders in the future; CMTG’s present and potential future competition; and unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities, including those related to litigation. 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. Total Liquidity as of June 30, 2023, includes cash and approved and undrawn credit capacity. Approved and undrawn credit capacity represents undrawn capacity available under financing facilities. While these amounts were previously contractually approved, in certain cases, the lender’s consent is required for us to borrow these amounts. 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 June 30, 2023. 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 two real estate owned (REO) investments, 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 reserves and accumulated depreciation. For further information, please refer to Item 2 (MD&A) of our 10-Q. 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.
