Past performance does not guarantee future results. Financial information is approximate and as of February 28, 2023, unless otherwise noted. The words “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to BREIT, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including BREIT Operating Partnership L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), unless the context requires otherwise.

NAV Calculation and Reconciliation. This material contains references to our net asset value (“NAV”) and NAV based calculations, which involve significant professional judgment. Our NAV is generally equal to the fair value of our assets less outstanding liabilities, calculated in accordance with our valuation guidelines. The calculated value of our assets and liabilities may differ from our actual realizable value or future value which would affect the NAV as well as any returns derived from that NAV, and ultimately the value of your investment. As return information is calculated based on NAV, return information presented will be impacted should the assumptions on which NAV was determined prove to be different. NAV is not a measure used under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and will likely differ from the GAAP value of our equity reflected in our financial statements. As of December 31, 2022, our total equity under GAAP, excluding non-controlling third-party JV interests, was $46.3 billion and our NAV was $68.5 billion. As of December 31, 2022, our NAV per share was $14.82, $14.60, $14.51 and $14.83 for Class S, Class T, Class D and Class I shares, respectively, and GAAP equity per share/unit was $9.99. GAAP equity accounts for net losses as calculated under GAAP, and we have incurred $907 million in net losses, excluding net losses attributable to non-controlling interests in third-party JV interests, for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our net losses as calculated under GAAP and a reconciliation of our GAAP equity, excluding non-controlling third-party JV interests, to our NAV are provided in our annual and interim financial statements. As of December 31, 2022, 100% of inception to date distributions were funded from cash flows from operations. For further information, please refer to “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in BREIT’s prospectus, which describes our valuation process and the independent third parties who assist us.

1. “Institutional-quality” refers to BREIT’s real estate portfolio and not the terms of the offering. Individual investors should be aware that institutional investors generally have different criteria when making investment decisions.
2. 3-year and inception to date (“ITD”) returns for BREIT are annualized consistent with the IPA Practice Guideline 2018. The inception dates for the Class S, T, D and I shares are January 1, 2017, June 1, 2017, May 1, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively. 3-year refers to the thirty-six months prior to current month-end. 3-year returns for all share classes were as follows: Class S shares (no sales load) 13.6%; Class S shares (with sales load) 12.3%; Class T shares (no sales load) 13.8%; Class T shares (with sales load) 12.5%; Class D shares (no sales load) 14.1%; Class D shares (with sales load) 13.6%; Class I shares 14.7%. ITD returns for all share classes were as follows: Class S shares (no sales load) 11.3%; Class S shares (with sales load) 10.7%; Class T shares (no sales load) 11.7%; Class T shares (with sales load) 11.0%; Class D shares (no sales load) 12.2%; Class D shares (with sales load) 11.9%; Class I shares 12.3%. The foregoing reflects the percent change in the NAV per share from the beginning of the applicable period, plus the amount of any distribution per share declared in the period. Return information is not a measure used under GAAP. BREIT has incurred $907 million in net losses, excluding net losses attributable to non-controlling interests in third-party JV interests, for the year ended December 31, 2022. This amount largely reflects the expense of real estate depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP. Additional information about our net losses as calculated under GAAP is included in our annual and interim financial statements. All returns shown assume reinvestment of distributions pursuant to BREIT’s distribution reinvestment plan, are derived from unaudited financial information, and are net of all BREIT expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction-related expenses, management fees, performance participation allocation, and share class-specific fees, but exclude the impact of early repurchase deductions on the repurchase of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Class S, Class T and Class D shares listed as (with sales load) reflect the returns after the maximum upfront selling commission and dealer manager fees. Class S, Class T and Class D shares listed as (no sales load) exclude upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. With sales load returns assume payment of the maximum upfront sales charge at initial subscription (3.5% for Class S and Class T shares; 1.5% for Class D shares). The sales charge for Class D shares became effective May 1, 2018. Please refer to “NAV Calculation and Reconciliation” above for additional information on our determination of NAV.
3. Reflects the current month’s distribution annualized and divided by the prior month’s net asset value, which is inclusive of all fees and expenses. Distributions are not guaranteed and may be funded from sources other than cash flow from operations, including borrowings, offering proceeds, the sale of our assets and repayments of our real estate debt investments. We have no limits on the amounts we may fund from such sources. As of December 31, 2022, 100% of inception to date distributions were funded from cash flows from operations.
4. The share class information represents the transaction price for each share class of our common stock for subscriptions accepted as of April 1, 2023 (and repurchases as of March 31, 2023). The purchase price of our common stock for each share class equals the transaction price of such class, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The repurchase price for each share class equals the transaction price of such class. The transaction price presented is rounded to two decimal places.
5. “Property Sector” weighting is measured as the asset value of real estate investments for each sector category (Rental Housing, Industrial, Net Lease, Data Centers, Hospitality, Self Storage, Retail, Office) divided by the total asset value of all real estate investments, excluding the value of any third-party interests in such real estate investments (“Real Estate TAV”). The following sectors each have subsectors comprising over 1.0% of Real Estate TAV. Rental Housing: multifamily (36%, including affordable housing, which accounts for 9%), student housing (10%), single family rental housing (8%) and manufactured housing (1%); Industrial: warehouses (22%); and Hospitality: select service hotels (2%). “Region Concentration” represents regions as defined by NCREIF and the weighting is measured as the asset value of real estate properties and unconsolidated property investments for each regional category (South, West, East, Midwest, Non-U.S.) divided by the total asset value of all (i) real estate properties, excluding the value of any third-party interests in such real estate properties, and (ii) unconsolidated property investments. “Non-U.S.” reflects investments in Europe and Canada. Please see the prospectus for more information on BREIT’s investments.
6. Population growth reflects U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, as of June 22, 2022, which can be found at https://apps.bea.gov/iTable/iTable.cfm?reqid=70&step=1&isuri=1&acrdn=4. Reflects comparison between the South and West regions versus the rest of the United States as defined by NCREIF. Represents 5-year compounded annual growth rate of population from mid-quarter Q1 2017 to mid-quarter Q1 2022. Top performing sectors reflects FTSE Nareit data and represents performance of residential and industrial publicly traded REITs since BREIT’s inception, as of October 31, 2022. The FTSE Nareit US Real Estate Index Series is a comprehensive family of REIT-focused indexes that span the commercial real estate industry, providing market participants with a range of tools to benchmark and analyze exposure to real estate across the US economy at both a broad industry-wide level and on a sector-by-sector basis. The source materials can be found at https://www.reit.com/sites/default/files/returns/Industrial.xls and https://www.reit.com/sites/default/files/returns/Apartments.xls.  See “Important Disclosures Information—Trends”.
7. Commodity office refers to the Class B and C office sector.
8. World’s largest owner of commercial real estate based on estimated market value per Real Capital Analytics, as of December 31, 2022. A copy of the source materials of such data will be provided upon request. Blackstone is a premier global investment manager. The real estate group of Blackstone, Blackstone Real Estate, is our sponsor and an affiliate of BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). Information regarding Blackstone and Blackstone Real Estate is included to provide information regarding the experience of our sponsor and its affiliates. An investment in BREIT is not an investment in our sponsor or Blackstone as BREIT is a separate and distinct legal entity.
9. As of December 31, 2022. The percentage of fixed-rate financing is measured by dividing (i) the sum of our consolidated fixed-rate debt, secured financings on investments in real estate debt with matched underlying interest rate exposure, and the outstanding notional principal amount of consolidated interest rate swaps, by (ii) total consolidated debt outstanding.
10. Represents year-over-year same property NOI growth for the year ended December 31, 2022. Inflation reflects U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data as of December 31, 2022, which can be found at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPIAUCSL, and represents the Consumer Price Index, which measures changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. NOI may not be correlated to or continue to keep pace with inflation. The volatility and risk profile of the indices presented is likely to be materially different from that of BREIT including those related to fees and expenses, liquidity, safety, and tax features. BREIT does not trade on a national securities exchange, and therefore, is generally illiquid. Your ability to redeem shares in BREIT through BREIT’s share repurchase plan may be limited and our board may make exceptions to, modify or suspend the plan. See “Important Disclosure Information–Same Property NOI Growth” and “-Trends”.
11. Represents year-over-year growth. Inflation reflects U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data as of December 31, 2022, which can be found at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPIAUCSL, and represents the Consumer Price Index, which measures changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. NOI may not be correlated to or continue to keep pace with inflation. BREIT NOI represents same property NOI growth for the year ended December 31, 2022. See “Important Disclosure Information-Same Property NOI Growth” and “-Trends”.
12. A portion of REIT ordinary income distributions may be tax deferred given the ability to characterize ordinary income as Return of Capital (“ROC”). ROC distributions reduce the stockholder’s tax basis in the year the distribution is received, and generally defer taxes on that portion until the stockholder’s stock is sold via redemption. Upon redemption, the investor may be subject to higher capital gains taxes as a result of a lower cost basis due to the return of capital distributions. Certain non-cash deductions, such as depreciation and amortization, lower the taxable income for REIT distributions. Investors should be aware that a REIT’s ROC percentage may vary significantly in a given year and, as a result, the impact of the tax law and any related advantages may vary significantly from year to year. BREIT’s return of capital in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was 90%, 100%, 92% and 94%, respectively. This content should not be relied upon or considered as tax advice. Investors should consult their own tax advisors in order to understand any applicable tax consequences of an investment. Prospective investors should note that the tax treatment of each investor, and of any investment, depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. See “Important Disclosure Information–Tax Information”.

Important Disclosure Information

Alternative investments often are speculative, typically have higher fees than traditional investments, often include a high degree of risk and are appropriate only for eligible, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time. They may be highly illiquid and can engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase volatility and risk of loss.

Alternative investments involve complex tax structures, tax inefficient investing, and delays in distributing important tax information. Individual funds have specific risks related to their investment programs that will vary from fund to fund. Investors should consult their own tax and legal advisors as Dealers generally do not provide tax or legal advice. REITs are generally not taxed at the corporate level to the extent they distribute all of their taxable income in the form of dividends. Ordinary income dividends are taxed at individual tax rates and distributions may be subject to state tax. Each investor’s tax considerations are different and consulting a tax advisor is recommended. Any of the data provided herein should not be construed as investment, tax, accounting or legal advice.

Interests in alternative investment products are distributed by the applicable Dealer and (1) are not FDIC-insured, (2) are not deposits or other obligations of such Dealer or any of its affiliates, and (3) are not guaranteed by such Dealer and its affiliates. Each Dealer is a registered broker-dealer, not a bank.

Same Property NOI Growth. Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is a supplemental non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) measure of our property operating results that we believe is meaningful because it enables management to evaluate the impact of occupancy, rents, leasing activity, and other controllable property operating results at our real estate. We define NOI as operating revenues less operating expenses, which exclude (i) impairment of investments in real estate, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) straight-line rental income and expense, (iv) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles, (v) lease termination fees, (vi) property expenses not core to the operations of such properties, and (vii) other non-property related revenue and expense items such as (a) general and administrative expenses, (b) management fee paid to the Adviser, (c) performance participation allocation paid to the Special Limited Partner, (d) incentive compensation awards, (e) income (loss) from investments in real estate debt, (f) change in net assets of consolidated securitization vehicles, (g) income from equity securities and interest rate derivatives, (h) net gain (loss) on dispositions of real estate, (i) interest expense, (j) gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, (k) other income (expense), and (l) similar adjustments for NOI attributable to non-controlling interests and unconsolidated entities. We evaluate our consolidated results of operations on a same property basis, which allows us to analyze our property operating results excluding acquisitions and dispositions during the periods under comparison. Properties in our portfolio are considered same property if they were owned for the full periods presented, otherwise they are considered non-same property. Recently developed properties are not included in same property results until the properties have achieved stabilization for both full periods presented. Properties held-for-sale, properties that are being re-developed and interests in unconsolidated entities under contract for sale with hard deposit or other factors ensuring the buyer’s performance are excluded from same property results and are considered non-same property. We do not consider our investments in the real estate debt segment or equity securities to be same property. NOI margin is measured by dividing same property NOI by same property total revenues. For more information, please refer to BREIT’s most recent SEC periodic report and the prospectus. Additionally, please refer below for a reconciliation of GAAP net (loss) income to same property NOI for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Summary of Risk Factors

BREIT is a non-listed REIT that invests primarily in stabilized income-generating commercial real estate investments across asset classes in the United States and, to a lesser extent, real estate debt investments, with a focus on current income. We invest to a lesser extent in countries outside of the U.S. This investment involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford the complete loss of your investment. You should read the prospectus carefully for a description of the risks associated with an investment in BREIT. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

• There is no public trading market for our common stock and repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under our share repurchase plan and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased. In addition, repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions. Further, our board of directors may make exceptions to, modify or suspend our share repurchase plan. As a result, our shares should be considered as having only limited liquidity and at times may be illiquid.
• Distributions are not guaranteed and may be funded from sources other than cash flow from operations, including borrowings, offering proceeds, the sale of our assets and repayments of our real estate debt investments. We have no limits on the amounts we may fund from such sources.
• The purchase and repurchase price for shares of our common stock are generally based on our prior month’s net asset value (“NAV”) and are not based on any public trading market. While there will be independent annual appraisals of our properties, the appraisal of properties is inherently subjective, and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our properties could be liquidated on any given day. The NAV per share, if calculated as of the date on which you make your subscription request or repurchase request, may be significantly different than the transaction price you pay or the repurchase price you receive. Certain of our investments or liabilities are subject to high levels of volatility from time to time and could change in value significantly between the end of the prior month as of which our NAV is determined and the date that you acquire or repurchase our shares, however the prior month’s NAV per share will generally continue to be used as the offering price per share and repurchase price per share.
• We are dependent on BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”) to conduct our operations. The Adviser will face conflicts of interest as a result of, among other things, the allocation of investment opportunities among us and Other Blackstone Accounts (as defined in BREIT’s prospectus), the allocation of time of its investment professionals and the substantial fees that we will pay to the Adviser.
• On acquiring shares, you will experience immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of your investment.
• There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares.
• If we fail to qualify as a REIT and no relief provisions apply, our NAV and cash available for distribution to our stockholders could materially decrease.
• We do not own the Blackstone name, but we are permitted to use it as part of our corporate name pursuant to a trademark license agreement with an affiliate of Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”). Use of the name by other parties or the termination of our trademark license agreement may harm our business.

Local, regional, or global events such as war (e.g., Russia/Ukraine), acts of terrorism, public health issues like pandemics or epidemics (e.g., COVID-19), recessions, or other economic, political and global macro factors and events could lead to a substantial economic downturn or recession in the U.S. and global economies and have a significant impact on BREIT and its investments.  The recovery from such downturns is uncertain and may last for an extended period of time or result in significant volatility, and many of the risks discussed herein associated with an investment in BREIT may be increased.

Certain information contained in this material has been obtained from sources outside Blackstone, which in certain cases has not been updated through the date hereof.
