The forward-looking statements referred to in the preceding paragraph include statements regarding:
< The pipeline of new institutional mandates not yet funded: Before they are funded, institutional mandates do not represent legally binding
commitments to fund and, accordingly, the possibility exists that not all mandates will be funded in the amounts and at the times currently anticipated.
commitments to fund and, accordingly, the possibility exists that not all mandates will be funded in the amounts and at the times currently anticipated.
< The degree to which the $90 million real estate charge will reduce occupancy costs on existing real estate in 2011 and subsequent years:
The charge we recorded this quarter and our estimates of reduced occupancy costs in future years are based on our current assumptions of when we
can sub-lease our space and current market rental rates, both of which are factors largely beyond our control. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect,
we may be forced to take an additional charge and/or our estimated occupancy cost reductions may be less than we currently anticipate.

< Our intention to continue to engage in open market purchases of Holding Units, from time to time, to help fund anticipated obligations
under our incentive compensation award program: The number of Holding Units needed in future periods to make incentive compensation awards is
dependent upon various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including fluctuation in the price of a Holding Unit.

< Our initiatives continuing to progress: Changes and volatility in political, economic, capital market or industry conditions can result in changes in
demand for our products and services or impact the value of our assets under management, all of which may significantly hinder our ability to continue
forward with our initiatives.

Institutional Fixed Income: Relative Performance
3Q10 Earnings Presentation

Performance is preliminary.
As of Sept 30, 2010
Investment performance of composites is presented after investment management fees. Periods of more than one year are annualized.
*The Fully Diversified 60% stocks/40% bonds (simulation) is meant to be illustrative of the value generated by the "total solution" approach AllianceBernstein encourages for most clients: a
diversified allocation across investment portfolios of varying types aimed at optimizing return and volatility over time. The Bernstein Fully Diversified Portfolio is composed of specific proportions of
each of the products that follow, which were included in the simulation as of the following dates: Strategic Value—January 1, 1983; Strategic Growth—January 1, 1983 (ACM Large Cap Growth
used as a proxy for Strategic Growth through January 1, 2001; Strategic Growth used thereafter); Intermediate Municipal Bond Composite—January 1, 1983; Bernstein Tax-Managed International
Fund—July 1, 1992; Emerging Markets Fund—January 1, 1996; AllianceBernstein Institutional REIT Fund—July 1, 2001 (The AllianceBernstein Institutional REIT Fund was removed from the
simulation on December 31, 2008) DAA Overlay - April 1, 2010. The portfolio was rebalanced quarterly through December 31, 2005; monthly thereafter. Simulated performance results have certain
inherent limitations. The results may not reflect the impact that certain material economic and market factors might have had on actual decision making if they were reflective of a managed account.
No representation is being made that any account will, or is likely to, achieve profits or losses similar to those described herein.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Supplemental Information
(Unaudited)
Adjusted Net Revenues
Adjusted net revenues excludes investment gains and losses and dividends and interest on deferred compensation-related investments, and 90% of the investment gains and losses of our
consolidated venture capital fund attributable to non-controlling interests. In addition, adjusted net revenues offset distribution-related payments to third parties as well as amortization of
deferred sales commissions against distribution revenues. We believe the offset of distribution-related payments from net revenues is useful for our investors and other users of our financial
statements because such presentation appropriately reflects the nature of these costs as pass-through payments to third parties who perform functions on behalf of our sponsored mutual
funds and/or shareholders of these funds. Amortization of deferred sales commissions is offset against net revenues because such costs, over time, offset distribution revenues earned by the
company.

Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted operating income represents operating income on a GAAP basis (1) excluding the impact on net revenues and compensation expense of the mark-to-market gains and losses (as
well as the dividends and interest) associated with employee deferred compensation-related investments, (2) excluding real estate charges, and (3) including the net loss or income of
consolidated entities attributable to non-controlling interests.
well as the dividends and interest) associated with employee deferred compensation-related investments, (2) excluding real estate charges, and (3) including the net loss or income of
consolidated entities attributable to non-controlling interests.
(1) Prior to 2009, a large proportion of employee compensation was in the form of deferred awards that were notionally invested in AllianceBernstein investment services and generally vested
over a period of four years. AllianceBernstein has economically hedged the exposure to market movements by purchasing and holding these investments on its balance sheet. The full value of
the investments’ appreciation (depreciation) is recorded within investment gains and losses on the income statement in the current period. U.S. GAAP requires the appreciation (depreciation)
in the compensation liability to be expensed over the award vesting period in proportion to the vested amount of the award as part of compensation expense. This creates a timing difference
between the recognition of the compensation expense and the investment gain or loss impacting operating income which will fluctuate over the life of the award and net to zero at the end of
the multi-year vesting period. Although during periods of high market volatility these timing differences have an impact on operating income and operating margin, over the life of the award any
impact is ultimately offset. Because these plans are economically hedged, management believes it is useful to reflect the offset ultimately achieved from hedging the investments’ market
exposure in the calculation of adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted net income per Holding Unit, which will produce core operating results from period to
period. The non-GAAP measures exclude gains and losses and dividends and interest on deferred compensation-related investments included in revenues and compensation expense, thus
eliminating the timing differences created by different treatment under U.S. GAAP of the market movement on the expense and the investments.

(2) Real estate charges have been excluded because, often, they are relatively large in nature and are not considered part of our core operating results when comparing financial results from
period to period and to industry peers.
period to period and to industry peers.
(3) Most of the net income or loss of consolidated entities attributable to non-controlling interests relates to the 90% limited partner interests held by third parties in our consolidated venture
capital fund. We own a 10% limited partner interest in the fund. Because we are the general partner of the venture capital fund and are deemed to have a controlling interest, U.S. GAAP
requires us to consolidate the financial results of the fund. However, recognizing 100% of the gains or losses in operating income while only retaining 10% is not reflective of our underlying
financial results at the operating income level. As a result, we are excluding the 90% limited partner interests we do not own from our adjusted operating income. Similarly, net income of joint
ventures attributable to non-controlling interests, although not significant, is excluded because it does not reflect the economic interest attributable to AllianceBernstein.

Adjusted Operating Margin
Adjusted operating margin allows us to monitor our financial performance and efficiency from period to period and to compare our performance to industry peers without the volatility noted
above in our discussion of adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenues.
