−Removed: Digital Operating— Amounts in the first quarter of 2021 include Vantage SDC, acquired in July 2020 and zColo, acquired in December 2020.
−Removed: Wellness Infrastructure— Property operating income decreased $52.0 million, of which $21.7 million is attributed to the conveyance of a 36 property senior housing operating portfolio to the lender in August 2020, and sales of six net lease properties during 2020.
−Removed: Other factors contributing to the decrease include:
−Removed: (i) $22.4 million write-off of straight-line rent receivable on our UK net lease senior housing portfolio based upon current assessment of collectability, while we engage in ongoing negotiations with the tenant to restructure the lease;
−Removed: (ii) a decline in occupancy across our senior housing operating portfolio due to restrictions on new admissions in an effort to contain COVID-19;
−Removed: and (iii) acceleration of above-market lease intangible following a lease restructuring.
−Removed: These decreases were partially offset by a gross-up of resident fee income following the conversion of six properties from a net lease portfolio to a senior housing operating portfolio in April 2020.
−Removed: Property operating expenses decreased $14.2 million.
−Removed: The conveyance of the senior housing operating portfolio to the lender and the disposition of properties as noted above reduced expenses by $16.3 million, absent which property operating expenses would have increased $2.1 million.
−Removed: The increase was driven by a gross up of expenses following the net lease to senior housing operating conversion of six properties and incremental costs incurred in our senior housing operating facilities in response to COVID-19.
−Removed: The incremental COVID-19 related costs were partially abated by government stimulus funding under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund, reflected in other income.
−Removed: Other— Amounts represent a net lease property that is in receivership.
+Added: Amounts are higher in 2021 as it includes the operating results from 12 hyperscale data centers in the Vantage SDC portfolio, acquired in July 2020 and 44 co-location data centers held by zColo, acquired in December 2020 and February 2021.
+Added: On a same store basis, there was an increase in property operating income and expense quarter-to-date and year-to-date, reflecting an increase in rentable square footage and a higher utilization rate.
+Added: Additionally, higher power costs were incurred in connection with inclement weather conditions, with the incremental cost billed to our tenants.
Interest Income

−Removed: While there was additional interest income in the first quarter of 2021 from new loans originated in the digital segment in the fourth quarter of 2020 and drawdown of the credit facility provided to NorthStar Healthcare in April 2020, this increase was largely offset by lower interest income on available cash as proceeds from the sale of our light industrial business in December 2019 have since been redeployed.

−Removed: Other— Fee income from the non-digital investment management business was $1.9 million lower, attributed to a decrease in fees from NorthStar Healthcare based upon a lower net asset value ("NAV") fee base beginning December 2020.
−Removed: Other income decreased $1.4 million, attributed primarily to lower due diligence cost reimbursements from our sponsored private funds, partially offset by government stimulus funding under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund.

+Added: and (ii) incentive fees earned based upon the performance of third party accounts managed by our digital liquid securities team.
+Added: The decrease in other income can be attributed primarily to lower cost reimbursements from our investment holding entities.

−Removed: Net decrease in interest expense of $9.0 million is attributed to the following:
−Removed: Digital Operating— The $21.7 million increase is attributed to interest expense on debt financing on Vantage SDC and zColo portfolios, acquired in July 2020 and December 2020, respectively.
−Removed: This was partially offset by lower interest expense on the DataBank portfolio as a result of:
−Removed: (i) a decline in LIBOR as all of DataBank's debt was variable rate prior to refinancing through its March 2021 securitization transaction;
−Removed: and (ii) meaningful reduction in its weighted average interest rate post-securitization from 6.1% per annum as of December 31, 2020 to 2.4% per annum as of March 31, 2021.
−Removed: Wellness Infrastructure— Interest expense was lower by $11.2 million as a result of:
−Removed: (i) decrease in LIBOR on predominantly variable rate debt;
−Removed: (ii) debt repayment upon certain sales of net lease properties in 2020;
−Removed: and (iii) conveyance of underlying collateral to lender in satisfaction of $157.5 million of outstanding debt principal in August 2020.
−Removed: Other— This represents interest expense on a net lease property that is in receivership.
−Removed: Corporate-level Debt— Interest expense decreased by $1.0 million as there was no outstanding balance on our corporate credit facility during the first quarter of 2021.
−Removed: This was partially offset by a net increase in interest expense on our senior notes, with a higher rate on the new exchangeable notes issued in July 2020 relative to the convertible notes that were substantially repurchased in the third quarter of 2020 and fully repaid in January 2021.
−Removed: Investment and Servicing Expense
−Removed: Investment and servicing costs were $2.4 million higher, primarily related to management fees paid to Vantage for the day-to-day operations of Vantage SDC, and fees paid for transitional services in connection with the zColo portfolio, both of which were partially offset by costs incurred in the prior year in connection with the conversion of a net lease portfolio to a senior housing operating portfolio in our Wellness Infrastructure segment.
+Added: Digital Operating— The increase of $21.1 million quarter-to-date and $42.8 million year-to-date is attributed to additional interest expense incurred on debt financing the Vantage SDC and zColo portfolios, acquired in July 2020 and December 2020, respectively.
+Added: This was partially offset by lower interest expense on the DataBank portfolio as its March 2021 securitization transaction meaningfully reduced its cost of debt.
+Added: DataBank's weighted average interest rate was 6.1% per annum as of December 31, 2020 and 2.4% per annum as of March 2021 post-securitization.
+Added: Corporate-level Debt— Interest expense decreased $4.0 million quarter-to-date and $5.1 million year-to-date as there was no outstanding balance on our corporate credit facility in 2021 until the last week of June 2021.
+Added: This was partially offset by a net increase in interest expense on our senior notes, with a higher rate on the new exchangeable notes issued in July 2020 (5.75% per annum) relative to the convertible notes that were substantially repurchased in the third quarter of 2020 and fully repaid in January 2021 (3.875% per annum) .
+Added: Investment Expense
+Added: Investment expense was $3.9 million higher quarter-to-date and $8.0 million higher year-to-date.
+Added: The increase was related primarily to management fees paid to Vantage for the day-to-day operations of Vantage SDC beginning the second half of 2020, and fees paid in 2021 for transitional services in connection with the zColo portfolio.
Transaction-Related Costs
−Removed: Transaction-related costs were $2.7 million compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
−Removed: The higher costs in the current period are primarily related to an unconsummated deal and ongoing corporate restructuring transactions.
+Added: Transaction-related costs were generally in connection with unconsummated investments and ongoing corporate restructuring transactions.
Depreciation and Amortization
−Removed: Increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily related to real estate and intangible assets from acquisitions of Vantage SDC in July 2020 and zColo in December 2020 and February 2021.
−Removed: The increase was partially offset by decreases due to the effects of lower real estate basis after impairment charges and sales of properties in our Wellness Infrastructure segment.
+Added: Increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily related to real estate and intangible assets from acquisition of Vantage SDC and zColo.
Impairment Loss
−Removed: These are impairment charges on real estate in our Wellness Infrastructure segment.
−Removed: Impairment of $15.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 reflects primarily a write-down to net sales proceeds on a medical office building and two portfolios of net lease skilled nursing facilities, all of which were sold in April 2021.
−Removed: In the first quarter of 2020, the aggregate impairment of $48.5 million was related to a portfolio of senior housing operating facilities and net lease skilled nursing facilities resulting from shortened hold period assumptions in contemplation of underlying debt that was at risk of default.
−Removed: The senior housing portfolio was subsequently conveyed to the lender in August 2020 in settlement of the debt.
+Added: Impairment was recorded on the corporate aircraft in 2020 to reflect its recoverable value prior to its sale to a third party in January 2021.

−Removed: Total compensation expense was $40.6 million higher, driven by significant severance payments, including acceleration of equity-based compensation in the first quarter of 2021, and compensation costs associated with data center employees of the new zColo portfolio.
+Added: Total compensation expense was $11.8 million higher quarter-to-date and $52.5 million higher year-to-date, driven by significant severance payments, including acceleration of equity-based compensation in the first quarter of 2021, and compensation costs associated with data center employees of the new zColo portfolio in 2021.
+Added: Additionally, there was $8.2 million of compensation accrued in 2021, representing approximately 60% of incentive fees earned and unrealized carried interest from our managed accounts and sponsored investment vehicles that are shared with certain employees.
+Added: Unlike incentive fee and related compensation which have been earned, unrealized carried interest and corresponding compensation amounts are subject to adjustments each period, including reversals, until such time they are realized, based upon the cumulative performance of the underlying investments of the respective vehicles that are carried at fair value.
Administrative Expenses
−Removed: Administrative expense decreased $10.6 million, largely attributable to lower costs related to legal and professional services in the current period.
+Added: Administrative expense increased $15.7 million quarter-to-date and $5.7 million year-to-date, attributable largely to placement fees incurred in fundraising for DCP II in the second quarter of 2021, administrative costs associated with our new zColo portfolio and growth in our Digital Operating business, and costs incurred in connection with our investor conference in June 2021.
Settlement Loss
−Removed: Settlement loss recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2020 represents the initial fair value of the settlement arrangement with Blackwells, plus the reimbursement of legal costs incurred by Blackwells.
+Added: Settlement loss recognized in 2020 represents the initial fair value of the settlement arrangement with Blackwells and the reimbursement of legal costs incurred by Blackwells.
Refer to additional discussion in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Equity Method Losses
−Removed: The increase in equity method losses can be attributed primarily to a higher loss from our investment in CLNC due to its recognition of restructuring costs in the first quarter of 2021, primarily composed of the $102.3 million termination fee payable to us and other associated costs.
−Removed: This loss was partially offset by an unrealized gain based upon a higher valuation on an equity method investment that is accounted for under the fair value option.
−Removed: We recorded other net loss of $8.7 million and $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
−Removed: While the settlement liability to Blackwells increased $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, driven by the increase in CLNY stock price, this was offset by fair value gains on marketable equity securities held by our consolidated digital liquid securities funds.
−Removed: In contrast, in the first quarter of 2020, fair value losses were recorded on marketable equity securities of consolidated funds and there was a remeasurement loss on a GBP denominated loan receivable in our Wellness Infrastructure segment as a result of the financial market distress and appreciation of the USD in March 2020.
−Removed: Income Tax Benefit
−Removed: We recognized income tax benefit of $25.8 million and $5.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, driven by deferred tax benefit recognized on net losses from our DataBank subsidiary, which was higher in 2021, including the zColo business that was acquired in December 2020.
−Removed: Additional deferred tax benefit was also recorded in 2021, arising from significant severance costs.

+Added: Digital Investment Management— Unrealized carried interest was recognized in the second quarter of 2021 in relation to our general partner interests in the DCP funds and a Vantage SDC co-invest vehicle.
+Added: Such carried interest is subject to adjustments each period, including reversals, based upon the cumulative performance of the underlying investments of these vehicles that are measured at fair value, until such time the carried interest is realized.
+Added: Digital Other— Equity method earnings represent our share of earnings, principally from our limited partner interests in DCP I and beginning 2021, DCP II.
+Added: The earnings of the DCP funds include unrealized fair value changes on their respective underlying investments.
+Added: Other— The large equity method loss in the Other segment in 2020 was driven by $254.5 million of impairment charge on our equity investment in BRSP (excluding amounts associated with BRSP shares and units held by NRF Holdco that is presented as discontinued operations).
+Added: Additionally, our share of BRSP's net losses was higher in 2020 as a result of the economic effects of COVID-19.
+Added: We also recorded net losses from BRSP in 2021, attributable largely to BRSP's restructuring costs, including the termination fee that was paid to us.
+Added: These net losses from BRSP were reduced by $54.8 million and $17.8 million of basis difference year-to-date 2021 and 2020, respectively, allocated to investments that were resolved or written-down by BRSP during these periods (Note 5 to consolidated financial statements).
+Added: Separately, the Other segment also realized a gain from partial sale of an equity investment in the second quarter of 2021, having recorded unrealized gains in the first quarter to reflect an increase in the value of the investment.
+Added: Other Gain (Loss)
+Added: The large other loss in 2021 can be attributed to a write-off of an equity investment that was determined to be unrecoverable.
+Added: We also recorded a loss from increases in value of the Blackwells settlement liability in all periods based upon an increase in the DBRG stock price, which was more pronounced in 2021.
+Added: The Blackwells liability was settled in June 2021 (refer to Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements).
+Added: These losses were partially offset by fair value increases in our marketable equity securities, held primarily by our consolidated digital liquid securities funds, in all periods except for the first quarter of 2020.
+Added: Income Tax Benefit
+Added: The large income tax benefit in 2021 arose primarily from a $66.8 million net deferred tax benefit at our DataBank subsidiary, driven by the write-off of deferred tax liabilities as DataBank completed its restructuring to qualify as a REIT in the second quarter and expects to elect REIT status for the 2021 taxable year.
+Added: Additional deferred tax benefit was also recorded in relation to significant severance costs incurred in the first quarter of 2021.

−Removed: In comparison, net loss was higher in the first quarter of 2020, attributed to $33.3 million of higher real estate impairment loss.
−Removed: Results in the first quarter of 2021 were negatively affected by a $22.4 million reversal of straight-line rent receivable on our UK net lease senior housing portfolio while we engage in ongoing negotiations with the tenant to restructure the lease, partially offset by lower interest expense due to a decline in LIBOR and extinguishment of $157.5 million of debt in August 2020 through conveyance of underlying collateral to the lender.

−Removed: Effects of COVID-19 on our Wellness Infrastructure Segment
−Removed: Although there are some indications that widespread vaccine deployment has eased some of the effects of COVID-19, our first priority continues to be the health and safety of the residents and staff at our communities.
−Removed: We remain focused on supporting our operating partners during this challenging time.
−Removed: Concurrently, we are actively managing capital needs and liquidity to mitigate the financial impact of COVID-19 on our wellness infrastructure business.
−Removed: At this time, we understand from our operators and managers that significant vaccine deployment has begun to mitigate the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases.
−Removed: Nevertheless, the incidence of confirmed cases in our portfolio correlates with vaccination rates, local prevalence, and the emergence of variants .
−Removed: The COVID-19 vaccine rollout began in early January 2021.
−Removed: Our operators and tenants coordinated with the respective states and administering agents to set up on-site clinics at our communities to provide the vaccine to both residents and staff.
−Removed: Currently, their focus is on the coordination of vaccines for new residents and employees.
−Removed: To date, the resident acceptance rate has been high.
−Removed: Staff acceptance, however, has been lower than many of our operators and tenants would have liked and they have implemented programs to support improving those efforts.
−Removed: The effect of COVID-19 varies by asset class in the Company's wellness infrastructure portfolio.
−Removed: Specifically, efforts to address COVID-19 have in some cases forced temporary closures of medical offices, restricted the admission of new residents to senior housing facilities, especially in communities that have experienced infections, and caused incurrence of unanticipated costs and other business disruptions.
−Removed: The Company is directly impacted by these factors in its RIDEA assets, and indirectly impacted in its net leased assets as these factors influence tenants’ ability to pay rent.
−Removed: • In our medical office portfolio, beginning in April 2020, a number of tenants failed to make rent payments or make timely payments, and some sought more flexible payment terms or rent concessions as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.

−Removed: deferral was $0.1 million.
−Removed: All lease income receivable, including straight-line rents, are subject to the Company's policy for evaluation of collectability based upon creditworthiness of the lessee.
−Removed: • In our senior housing operating portfolio, statutory or self-imposed restrictions began to limit admission of new residents into our communities starting in March 2020 in an effort to contain COVID-19.
−Removed: Although some restrictions have loosened, we continue to face challenges from consumer apprehension regarding congregate living, staffing challenges, and regulatory scrutiny.
−Removed: There remains a period of time where restrictions on admissions continue to be imposed in communities that have experienced infections until such time that infections are no longer detected.
−Removed: As a result, we still anticipate occupancy challenges until such time the rate of resident move-outs is outpaced by new resident admissions.
−Removed: Although improving, there continues to be other factors impacting our operators’ ability to move in new residents, including:
−Removed: health and safety concerns of prospective new residents and their loved ones;
−Removed: restricted access to community dining, amenities and other lifestyle benefits;
−Removed: inability to tour communities in person;
−Removed: quarantine requirements upon initial move-in to a community;
−Removed: and limitations on families’ ability to visit their loved ones.
−Removed: • Operating costs in our senior housing operating portfolio have risen as our healthcare operators take action to protect their residents and staff, specifically higher labor costs, as well as higher usage and cost of personal protective equipment, and medical and sanitation supplies.
−Removed: Since the onset of the pandemic, we have incurred $13.2 million of such incremental costs, of which $7.0 million was abated through income received from government stimulus funding under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund.
−Removed: The increased operating costs are expected to continue until there is a shift in the employment market dynamics and consumer confidence.
−Removed: • Our senior housing and skilled nursing net leased portfolios have experienced similar challenges.
−Removed: In addition, for our skilled nursing portfolio, the deferral of elective surgeries has also impacted occupancy.
−Removed: However, we generally have continued to collect rent from our operators, in part due to the benefits of various federal relief programs.
−Removed: The challenges faced by our healthcare operators and our tenants as a result of COVID-19 will continue to put pressure on future revenues and operating margins in our Wellness Infrastructure segment.
−Removed: As necessary, we will engage in discussions with our lenders on the deferral of payment obligations, and/or waiver of defaults for any potential failure in the future to satisfy certain financial or other covenants.
−Removed: Given the ongoing nature of the pandemic, the extent of the financial effects and how prolonged the effects will be to our wellness infrastructure business remains uncertain at this time, and largely dependent on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 crisis, vaccination rates, and the employment market..

−Removed: Additionally, by excluding corporate level expenses or benefits such as interest expense, any gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, and income taxes, which are incurred by the parent entity and are not directly linked to the operating performance of our properties, NOI provides a measure of operating performance independent of our capital structure and indebtedness.
−Removed: However, the exclusion of these items as well as others, such as capital expenditures and leasing costs, which are necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, and transaction costs and administrative costs, may limit the usefulness of NOI.
