Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. generally

presentation, Kennedy Wilson has provided certain information, which
includes non-GAAP financial measures (Consolidated EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted
Net Income Per Basic Share and Adjusted Fees). Such information is
reconciled to its closest GAAP measure in accordance with the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and is included within this
presentation. These measures may contain cash and non-cash
acquisition-related gains and expenses and gains and losses from the
sale of real-estate related investments. Consolidated non-GAAP measures
discussed throughout this report may contain gains or losses
attributable to non-controlling interests. Management believes that
these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and
Kennedy Wilson's shareholders in their analysis of the business and
operating performance of the Company. Management also uses this
information for operational planning and decision-making purposes.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not and should not be considered a
substitute for any GAAP measures. Additionally, non-GAAP financial
measures as presented by Kennedy Wilson may not be comparable to
