Property Sector1

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Financial information is approximate and as of April 30, 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 incorrect. 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 March 31, 2023, our total equity under GAAP, excluding non-controlling third-party JV interests, was $47.4 billion and our NAV was $69.7 billion. As of March 31, 2023, our NAV per share was $14.58, $14.36, $14.27 and $14.59 for Class S, Class T, Class D and Class I shares, respectively, and GAAP equity per share/unit was $9.90. GAAP equity accounts for net losses as calculated under GAAP, and we have incurred $618.1 million in net losses, excluding net losses attributable to non-controlling interests in third-party JV interests, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. 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 March 31, 2023, 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.

Rental Housing includes the following subsectors as a percent of Real Estate TAV: multifamily (36%, including affordable housing, which accounts for 9%), student housing (10%), single family rental housing (8%), manufactured housing (1%) and senior housing (<1%).

  1. “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, student housing, single family rental housing and manufactured housing; Industrial: warehouses; and Hospitality: select service hotels. “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. Please see the prospectus for more information on BREIT’s investments.
  2. Population growth reflects U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, as of June 22, 2022. 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 December 31, 2022. See “Important Disclosures Information—Trends”.
  3. As of March 31, 2023. 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 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 corporate and consolidated interest rate swaps, by (ii) total consolidated debt outstanding.
  4. Reflects comparison between the South and West regions versus the rest of the United States as defined by NCREIF. Population growth reflects U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, as of June 22, 2022. Represents 5-year compound annual growth rate of population from mid-quarter Q1 2017 to mid-quarter Q1 2022. Job growth reflects U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data as of September 16, 2022. Represents 5-year compound annual growth rate of seasonally adjusted employees on nonfarm payrolls from August 2017 to August 2022. Higher wage growth reflects U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of August 24, 2022. Represents 5-year compound annual growth rate of employment-weighted average weekly wages from Q1 2017 to Q1 2022. See “Important Disclosures Information—Trends”.
  5. BREIT invests primarily in U.S. commercial real estate and to a lesser extent in countries outside of the U.S. The select markets that are named represent BREIT’s top 10 metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) by portfolio weighting. BREIT is invested in additional MSAs which are not named above. “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. Total asset value is measured as (i) the asset value of real estate investments (based on fair value), excluding any third-party interests in such real estate investments, plus (ii) the equity in our real estate debt investments measured at fair value (defined as the asset value of our real estate debt investments less the financing on such investments), but excluding any other assets (such as cash or any other cash equivalents). The total asset value would be higher if such amounts were included and the value of our real estate debt investments was not decreased by the financing on such investments. “Real estate investments” include wholly-owned property investments, BREIT‘s share of property investments held through joint ventures and equity in public and private real estate-related companies. “Real estate debt investments” include BREIT‘s investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, mortgage loans and other debt secured by real estate and real estate related assets, as described in BREIT‘s prospectus. The Consolidated GAAP Balance Sheet included in our annual and interim financial statements reflects the loan collateral underlying certain of our real estate debt investments on a gross basis. These amounts are excluded from our real estate debt investments as they do not reflect our economic interest in such assets. As of April 30, 2023, BREIT’s total asset value was $124 billion.
  6. Represents year-over-year percent change in rental housing and industrial rent growth. Rental housing reflects Axiometrics data as of March 31, 2023 and represents effective multifamily market rent growth in BREIT’s multifamily markets weighted by unit count. Excludes affordable housing. Industrial reflects Blackstone Proprietary Data as of March 31, 2023 and represents market rent growth in BREIT’s U.S. industrial markets weighted by same property square footage at BREIT’s share. Inflation reflects U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data as of March 31, 2023, and represents the Consumer Price Index, which measures changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. Rent growth may not be correlated to or continue to keep pace with inflation. See “Important Disclosures Information—Trends”.

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.

Blackstone Proprietary Data. Certain information and data provided herein is based on Blackstone proprietary knowledge and data. Portfolio companies may provide proprietary market data to Blackstone, including about local market supply and demand conditions, current market rents and operating expenses, capital expenditures, and valuations for multiple assets. Such proprietary market data is used by Blackstone to evaluate market trends as well as to underwrite potential and existing investments. While Blackstone currently believes that such information is reliable for purposes used herein, it is subject to change, and reflects Blackstone’s opinion as to whether the amount, nature and quality of the data is sufficient for the applicable conclusion, and no representations are made as to the accuracy or completeness thereof.

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:

  • Since there is no public trading market for our common stock, repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. Our share repurchase plan, which is approved and administered by our board of directors, provides stockholders with the opportunity to request that we repurchase their shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares and our board of directors may determine to repurchase only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased in any particular month in its discretion. In addition, repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions, including repurchase limitations that have in the past been, and may in the future be, exceeded, resulting in our repurchase of shares on a pro rata basis. Further, our board of directors may, in certain circumstances, 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, without limitation, borrowings, the sale of our assets, repayments of our real estate debt investments, return of capital or offering proceeds, and advances or the deferral of fees and expenses. 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.
  • We are dependent on BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”) to conduct our operations, as well as the persons and firms the Adviser retains to provide services on our behalf. 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.
  • We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, 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.
  • The acquisition of investment properties may be financed in substantial part by borrowing, which increases our exposure to loss. The use of leverage involves a high degree of financial risk and will increase the exposure of our investments to adverse economic factors such as rising interest rates, downturns in the economy or deteriorations in the condition of our investments.
  • Investing in commercial real estate assets involves certain risks, including but not limited to: adverse changes in values or operating results caused by global and national economic and market conditions generally and by the local economic conditions where our properties are located, including changes with respect to rising vacancy rates or decreasing market rental rates; tenants’ inability to pay rent; increases in interest rates and lack of availability of financing; tenant turnover and vacancies; and changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in a given market.
  • Our portfolio is currently concentrated in certain industries and geographies, and, as a consequence, our aggregate return may be substantially affected by adverse economic or business conditions affecting that particular type of asset or geography.
  • 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.
