Oaktree Announces First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Adjusted net income per Class A unit grew 117%, to a record $1.95 for the first quarter of 2013 from $0.90 in the first quarter of 2012, driven by record incentive income.
Distributable earnings per Class A unit grew 167%, to a record $1.79 for the first quarter of 2013 from $0.67 in the first quarter of 2012, on higher incentive income and investment income proceeds.
Economic net income per Class A unit grew 43%, to $2.07 for the first quarter of 2013 from $1.45 in the first quarter of 2012, driven by a substantial increase in incentives created.
GAAP net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC was $57.6 million for the first quarter of 2013.
Oaktree declares a quarterly distribution of $1.41 per Class A unit, up 156% from the $0.55 distribution for the first quarter of 2012, and bringing to $3.80 the aggregate distribution for the trailing four quarters.
LOS ANGELES, CA. May 7, 2013 – Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (NYSE: OAK) today reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Adjusted net income (“ANI”) nearly doubled, to a record $335.8 million in the first quarter of 2013 from $173.6 million in the first quarter of 2012, on an 86% increase in total segment revenues. The growth in revenues, to $593.4 million from $318.3 million, reflected a 422% gain in incentive income, to a record $327.2 million, and a 28% gain in investment income, to $82.1 million, on the quarter's strong fund realizations and returns.

Distributable earnings grew to a record $295.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 from $137.3 million in the first quarter of 2012, on higher incentive income and growth in investment income proceeds from Oaktree funds and DoubleLine Capital LP and its affiliates (collectively, “DoubleLine”). Distributable earnings generated a distribution of $1.41 per Class A unit, the highest ever, with respect to the first quarter of 2013.
Howard Marks, Chairman, said, “As we mark our first anniversary of being public, Oaktree's performance and prospects have never been better. The first quarter's records for adjusted net income, distributable earnings and the unitholder distribution reflect the strong cash generating capacity of our business. Plus, the substantial incentives created by the quarter's strong fund returns bode well for our future cash flow.”
In addition to ANI, Oaktree calculates economic net income (“ENI”) to facilitate comparability with other alternative asset managers that use ENI as their profit measure. Unlike ANI, ENI measures incentive income based on market values. ENI rose to $400.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 from $278.4 million in the first quarter of 2012, reflecting near-record incentives created on strong fund returns.
GAAP-basis results for the first quarter of 2013 included net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC of $57.6 million.

As previously announced, assets under management were $78.8 billion as of March 31, 2013, up $1.7 billion from December 31, 2012 and $0.9 billion since March 31, 2012. The increase during the first quarter reflected new capital commitments and market-value appreciation that in the aggregate exceeded $3.2 billion of closed-end fund distributions. Management fee-generating assets under management were $66.4 billion as of March 31, 2013, little changed from $66.8 billion at December 31, 2012 and down slightly from $68.0 billion as of March 31, 2012, as declines from significant fund asset sales were largely offset by new capital raises and appreciation in funds for which management fees are based on net asset value.

Gross equity capital raised during the first quarter of 2013 was $2.6 billion. In March 2013, Oaktree held a final closing for Oaktree Enhanced Income Fund, L.P. (“EIF”), which invests in senior loan assets on a leveraged basis. The total fund size of EIF, including leverage, is currently $1.8 billion. The fund is expected to exceed $2.0 billion when fully invested and leveraged, exceeding our initial target of $1.5 billion. Following its third and most recent closing in March 2013, Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund VI, L.P. (“ROF VI”) has received capital commitments of approximately $750 million, towards a targeted size of $1.5 billion. Oaktree Emerging Market Opportunities Fund, L.P., which will invest in distressed emerging market corporate debt, held a first closing this month. Together with a potential $100 million separate account that Oaktree is in the process of establishing, the first closing brings capital for this strategy to $175 million, towards a targeted size of $500 million. Capital commitments to our new Strategic Credit strategy, which seeks to achieve an attractive total return on an unleveraged basis by investing in stressed credits, have reached $900 million.
In January 2013, Oaktree launched the marketing of Oaktree Principal Fund VI, L.P. (“PF VI”), a control investing closed-end fund, with a target of $3.0 billion in capital commitments. Oaktree’s control investing funds primarily invest to gain control of, or significant influence over, middle-market companies that are experiencing distress or dislocation. In March 2013, Oaktree launched the marketing of Oaktree Real Estate Debt Fund, L.P. (“REDF”), with a target of $500 million in capital commitments. REDF will invest in a diversified portfolio of real estate debt instruments, including commercial mortgage-backed securities, commercial first mortgages, subordinated secured debt, mezzanine loans, corporate debt and residential first mortgage pools. First closings for both funds are expected this summer.
On May 10, 2013, OCM Opportunities Fund VIIb, L.P. (“Opps VIIb”) will make a distribution to its investors of $1.4 billion, its first since February 7, 2013. From that distribution, Oaktree currently expects to recognize incentive income of an estimated $272 million, or $178 million, net of incentive income compensation expense, and investment income proceeds of an estimated $20 million, in the second quarter of 2013.

Operating Metrics
Assets under management
Assets under management (“AUM”) were $78.8 billion as of March 31, 2013, as compared with $77.1 billion as of December 31, 2012 and $77.9 billion as of March 31, 2012. The $1.7 billion increase since December 31, 2012 primarily reflected $3.3 billion of aggregate market-value gains and $1.8 billion of new capital commitments and fee-generating leverage in our closed-end funds, partially offset by $3.2 billion in distributions to investors in our closed-end funds. The $3.2 billion of closed-end fund distributions included $0.8 billion by Opps VIIb, $1.3 billion by other distressed debt funds and $0.8 billion by control investing funds.
The $0.9 billion increase in AUM since March 31, 2012 was attributable primarily to new closed-end fund capital commitments and fee-generating leverage of $6.7 billion and market-value gains of $9.4 billion, less $13.3 billion of distributions to investors in closed-end funds. Of the new capital commitments, Oaktree Opportunities Fund IX, L.P. (“Opps IX”) represented $3.8 billion. Net inflows to open-end funds were $0.1 billion, driven by $0.9 billion in net inflows to our U.S. senior loans strategy.
Management fee-generating assets under management
Management fee-generating assets under management (“management fee-generating AUM”) were $66.4 billion as of March 31, 2013, as compared to $66.8 billion as of December 31, 2012 and $68.0 billion as of March 31, 2012. The decrease of $0.4 billion in the first quarter of 2013 represented increases of $1.0 billion from market-value gains in funds for which management fees are based on NAV and $0.7 billion of drawdowns by closed-end funds that generate fees based on drawn capital or NAV, offset by a decrease of $2.7 billion attributable to asset sales by closed-end funds in liquidation. Of the latter, Opps VIIb accounted for $1.6 billion. As of March 31, 2013, Opps IX had made an initial 5% drawdown against its $5.0 billion of committed capital. Oaktree has not yet commenced Opps IX's investment period and, as a result, as of March 31, 2013 management fees were assessed only on its drawn capital and management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of committed capital.
As compared to March 31, 2012, management fee-generating AUM decreased $1.6 billion, reflecting the net effect of a $7.1 billion decline from asset sales by closed-end funds in liquidation and increases of $3.3 billion from market-value gains in funds for which management fees are based on NAV and $2.8 billion from closings for ROF VI and drawdowns in our Strategic Credit strategy, Opps IX, EIF and Oaktree PPIP Fund, L.P., including leverage.
Incentive-creating assets under management
Incentive-creating assets under management (“incentive-creating AUM”) were $34.0 billion as of March 31, 2013, unchanged from December 31, 2012, and down from $36.6 billion as of March 31, 2012. The $2.6 billion decrease since March 31, 2012 primarily reflected the net effect of $13.1 billion in closed-end fund distributions, $4.4 billion in closed-end fund drawdowns and $5.7 billion in market-value gains. Of the $34.0 billion in incentive-creating AUM as of March 31, 2013, $25.1 billion, or 73.8%, was generating incentives at the fund level.
Accrued incentives (fund level) and incentives created (fund level)
Accrued incentives (fund level) amounted to $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2013, as compared with $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2012 and $1.9 billion as of March 31, 2012. The $0.2 billion increase in the first quarter of 2013 resulted from $459.7 million of incentives created, on the period's relatively strong fund returns, less $327.2 million of segment incentive income recognized.
Net of incentive income compensation expense, accrued incentives (fund level) amounted to $1.3 billion, $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.
Uncalled capital commitments
Uncalled capital commitments amounted to $11.2 billion as of March 31, 2013, as compared with $11.2 billion as of December 31, 2012 and $12.1 billion as of March 31, 2012.

Segment Results
Revenues
Total segment revenues increased $275.1 million, or 86.4%, to $593.4 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $318.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, as a result of growth of $264.5 million in incentive income and $17.8 million in investment income, partially offset by a decline of $7.1 million in management fees.
Management fees
Management fees decreased $7.1 million, or 3.7%, to $184.2 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $191.3 million in the prior year’s first quarter. The decline reflected a decrease of $19.7 million in fees attributable to closed-end funds in liquidation, partially offset by increases of $5.6 million from open-end funds and $4.0 million from new commitments to closed-end funds. Additionally, a portion of Oaktree Mezzanine Fund III, L.P.'s management fees is dependent on the fund's cash flow, which resulted in $4.5 million and zero such fees in the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Of the $19.7 million decline attributable to closed-end funds in liquidation, Opps VIIb accounted for $10.0 million. During the first quarter of 2013, closed-end funds represented $139.0 million, or 75.5%, of total management fees.
Incentive income
Incentive income increased $264.5 million, or 421.9%, to $327.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, from $62.7 million for the prior year's first quarter. Opps VIIb accounted for $195.2 million of the $327.2 million, another $18.6 million arose from other funds making incentive distributions, and the remaining $113.4 million was attributable to tax-related incentive distributions from certain closed-end funds for their 2012 taxable income. In the first quarter of 2012, tax-related incentive distributions by closed-end funds accounted for $38.0 million of that quarter's $62.7 million in incentive income.
Investment income
Investment income rose $17.8 million, or 27.7%, to $82.1 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $64.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, reflecting increases of $11.8 million and $6.0 million from Oaktree's investments in funds and companies, respectively. The higher income from fund investments reflected a blended average return of approximately 6.6% in the first quarter of 2013 on an average invested balance that declined 5.0% from the first quarter of 2012. The higher income from investments in companies stemmed from our one-fifth ownership of DoubleLine, which accounted for investment income of $11.0 million and $4.1 million in the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Performance fees accounted for $2.0 million and $1.6 million of the current-year and prior-year amounts, respectively.
Expenses
Compensation and benefits
Compensation and benefits for the first quarter of 2013 amounted to $93.6 million, an increase of $9.2 million, or 10.9%, from $84.4 million in the first quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting growth in headcount of 10.1% between March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013.
Equity-based compensation
Equity-based compensation increased to $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 from zero in the first quarter of 2012, reflecting non-cash amortization expense upon vesting of restricted unit grants made to employees and directors subsequent to our initial public offering in April 2012.
Incentive income compensation
Incentive income compensation expense rose $102.5 million, or 368.7%, to $130.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $27.8 million for the first quarter of 2012, reflecting the 421.9% increase in incentive income over the same period. The increase would have been $15.2 million greater had we not acquired and expensed in 2011 a small portion of certain investment professionals' carried interest in Opps VIIb.

5


General and administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 3.2%, to $24.0 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $24.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, as well as $2.1 million in non-recurring costs associated with our initial public offering that were incurred in the first quarter of 2012, general and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million, or 11.2%, to $24.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $22.3 million in the first quarter of 2012. The increase reflected costs associated with corporate growth, enhancements to our operational infrastructure and being a public company.
Adjusted net income
Adjusted net income rose $162.2 million, or 93.4%, to $335.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $173.6 million in the first quarter of 2012, reflecting increases of $162.0 million in incentive income, net of incentive income compensation expense, and $17.8 million in investment income, and a decrease of $16.1 million in fee-related earnings. The portion of adjusted net income attributable to our Class A units was $58.7 million and $20.4 million for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Per Class A unit, adjusted net income-OCG amounted to $1.95 and $0.90 for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The effective income tax rates applied to ANI for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were 12% and 21%, respectively. The effective income tax rate is a function of the mix of income and other factors, each of
which often varies significantly within or between years and can have a material impact on the particular year’s
income tax expense. The rate used for interim fiscal periods is based on the estimated full-year effective income tax
rate, which is subject to change as the year progresses.
Distributable earnings
Distributable earnings increased $157.7 million, or 114.9%, to $295.0 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $137.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, reflecting increases of $162.0 million in incentive income, net of incentive income compensation expense, and $12.4 million in receipts of investment income, slightly offset by a decline of $16.1 million in fee-related earnings. For the first quarter of 2013, receipts of investment income totaled $43.0 million, including $34.0 million from fund liquidations and $9.0 million from Oaktree’s one-fifth equity ownership in DoubleLine, of which the latter included $2.0 million attributable to performance fees. The portion of distributable earnings attributable to our Class A units was $1.79 and $0.67 per unit for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively, reflecting distributable earnings per Operating Group unit of $1.96 and $0.91, respectively, less costs borne by Class A unitholders for professional fees and other expenses, cash taxes attributable to the Intermediate Holding Companies and amounts payable pursuant to the tax receivable agreement.

Fee-related earnings
Fee-related earnings decreased $16.1 million, or 20.0%, to $64.2 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $80.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, reflecting the $7.1 million decline in management fees and $9.2 million increase in compensation and benefits. The portion of FRE attributable to our Class A units was $0.34 and $0.41 per Class A unit for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The effective income tax rates applied to FRE for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were 18% and 22%, respectively. The effective income tax rate used for interim fiscal periods is based on the estimated full-year income tax rate, which is a function of various factors and is subject to change as the year progresses.
GAAP-Basis Results
Net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC was $57.6 million for the first quarter of 2013. The comparable amount in the first quarter of 2012 was $18.6 million.

Capital and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2013, Oaktree had a cash balance of $687.4 million, or $1.0 billion when including investments in U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, and $608.9 million in outstanding debt. Oaktree had then and currently has no borrowings outstanding against its $500 million revolving credit facility. Oaktree’s investments in funds and companies had a carrying value of $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2013. While all of these investments in funds and companies follow the equity method of accounting, whereby original cost is adjusted for Oaktree’s share of income/loss and distributions, investments in funds reflect each fund’s holdings at fair value, whereas investments in DoubleLine and other companies are not adjusted to reflect the fair value of the underlying companies.
Distribution
Oaktree Capital Group, LLC has declared a distribution attributable to the first quarter of 2013 of $1.41 per Class A unit. This distribution will be paid on May 21, 2013 to Class A unitholders of record at the close of business on May 17, 2013.

Our business is comprised of one segment, our investment management segment, which consists of the investment management services that we provide to our clients. The components of revenues and expenses used in determining adjusted net income do not

10



give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. In addition, adjusted net income excludes the effect of: (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) income taxes, (c) expenses that OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly and (d) the adjustment for the OCGH non-controlling interest. Adjusted net income is calculated at the Operating Group level. For additional information regarding the reconciling adjustments discussed above, please see Exhibit A.
(2)
Interest income was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(3)
Uncalled capital commitments represent undrawn capital commitments by partners (including Oaktree as general partner) of our closed-end funds in their investment periods. If a fund distributes capital during its investment period, that capital is typically subject to possible recall, in which case it is included in uncalled capital commitments.
(4)
Our funds record as accrued incentives the incentive income that would be paid to us if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of the date of the financial statements. Incentives created (fund level) refers to the amount generated by the funds during the period. We refer to the amount of incentive income recognized as revenue by us as segment incentive income. We recognize incentive income when it becomes fixed or determinable, all related contingencies have been removed and collection is reasonably assured. Amounts recognized by us as incentive income no longer are included in accrued incentives (fund level), the term we use for remaining fund-level accruals. Incentives created (fund level), incentive income and accrued incentives (fund level) are presented gross, without deduction for direct compensation expense that is owed to our investment professionals associated with the particular fund when we earn the incentive income. We call that charge “incentive income compensation expense.” Incentive income compensation expense varies by the investment strategy and vintage of the particular fund, among other factors, but generally equals between 40% and 55% of segment incentive income revenue.

(1)
For most closed-end funds, management fees are charged during the liquidation period on the lesser of (a) total funded capital and (b) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund, with the cost basis of assets generally calculated by excluding cash balances. Thus, changes in fee basis during the liquidation period are not dependent on distributions made from the fund; rather, they are tied to the cost basis of the fund’s investments, which generally declines as the fund sells assets.
(2)
The change in market value reflects certain funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable.

(1)
This adjustment characterizes a portion of the distributions received from Oaktree and non-Oaktree funds as receipts of investment income or loss. In general, the income or loss component of a distribution from a fund is calculated by multiplying the amount of the distribution by the ratio of our investment’s undistributed income or loss to our remaining investment balance. In addition, if the distribution is made during the investment period, it is generally not reflected in distributable earnings until after the investment period ends.
(2)
Interest income was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(3)
With respect to the three months ended March 31, 2013, the distribution was announced on May 7, 2013 and is payable on May 21, 2013.

(1)
Reflects the capital contributions of investors in the fund, net of any distributions to such investors of uninvested capital.
(2)
Excludes Oaktree segment incentive income recognized since inception.
(3)
Reflects the amount the fund needs to distribute to its investors as a return of capital and a preferred return (as applicable) before Oaktree is entitled to receive incentive income (other than tax distributions) from the fund.
(4)
The internal rate of return (“IRR”) is the annualized implied discount rate calculated from a series of cash flows. It is the return that equates the present value of all capital invested in an investment to the present value of all returns of capital, or the discount rate that will provide a net present value of all cash flows equal to zero. Fund-level IRRs are calculated based upon the actual timing of cash contributions/distributions to investors and the residual value of such investor's capital accounts at the end of the applicable period being measured. Gross IRRs reflect returns before allocation of management fees, expenses and any incentive allocation to the fund's general partner. Net IRRs reflect returns to non-affiliated investors after allocation of management fees, expenses and any incentive allocation to the fund's general partner.
(5)
Calculated as Drawn Capital plus gross income before fees and expenses divided by Drawn Capital.
(6)
The fund was managed by certain Oaktree investment professionals while employed at the Trust Company of the West prior to Oaktree's founding in 1995. When these employees joined Oaktree upon, or shortly after, its founding, they continued to manage the fund through the end of its term pursuant to a sub-advisory relationship between the Trust Company of the West and Oaktree.
(7)
As of March 31, 2013, Oaktree Opportunities Fund IX, L.P. had made an initial 5% drawdown against its $5.0 billion of committed capital. Oaktree has not yet commenced the fund's investment period and, as a result, as of March 31, 2013 management fees were assessed only on its drawn capital, and management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of committed capital.
(8)
Aggregate IRRs based on conversion of OCM European Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Oaktree European Principal Fund III, L.P. cash flows from Euros to USD at the March 31, 2013 spot rate of $1.2840.
(9)
The IRR is not considered meaningful (“nm”) as the period from the initial contribution through March 31, 2013 is less than one year.
(10)
Due to the differences in allocations of income and expenses to this fund's two primary limited partners, the U.S. Treasury and Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P., a combined net IRR is not presented. Of the $2,322 million in capital commitments, $1,161 million relates to the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P. The gross and net IRR for the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P. were 26.2% and 19.3%, respectively, as of March 31, 2013.
(11)
The U.S. Treasury incurs management fees for the Oaktree PPIP Fund, L.P., paid quarterly in arrears, based on their interest value as of March 31, 2013. Limited Partners of the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P. incur management fees based on invested capital as of March 31, 2013 totaling $195.6 million, paid quarterly in advance.
(12)
Represents amounts related to the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P. only.
(13)
The fund's partnership interests are divided into Class A and Class B interests, with the Class A interests having priority with respect to the distribution of current income and disposition proceeds. Net IRR for Class A interests is 10.7% and Class B interests is 10.1%. Combined net IRR for the Class A and Class B interests is 10.3%.
(14)
The fund's partnership interests are divided into Class A and Class B interests, with the Class A interests having priority with respect to the distribution of current income and disposition proceeds. Net IRR for Class A interests is 9.9% and Class B interests is (5.2)%. Combined net IRR for Class A and Class B interests is 6.2%.
(15)
Represents gross assets, including leverage of $893 million.
(16)
Totals based on conversion of Euro amounts to USD at the March 31, 2013 spot rate of $1.2840.
(17)
Includes separate accounts and a non-Oaktree fund.

GLOSSARY
Accrued Incentives (Fund Level) represents the incentive income that would be paid to us if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of the date of the financial statements. Incentives created (fund level) refers to the gross amount of potential incentives generated by the funds during the period. We refer to the amount of incentive income recognized as revenue by us as segment incentive income. We recognize incentive income when it becomes fixed or determinable, all related contingencies have been removed and collection is reasonably assured. Amounts recognized by us as incentive income no longer are included in accrued incentives (fund level), the term we use for remaining fund-level accruals.
Adjusted net income (“ANI”) is a measure of profitability for our investment management segment. The components of revenues (“adjusted net income revenues”) and expenses used in the determination of ANI do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. Adjusted net income revenues include investment income (loss) that is classified in other income (loss) in the GAAP-basis statements of operations. In addition, ANI excludes the effect of: (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) income taxes, (c) expenses that OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly and (d) the adjustment for the OCGH non-controlling interest. ANI is calculated at the Operating Group level.
Adjusted net income–OCG, or adjusted net income per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of ANI attributable to their ownership. Adjusted net income-OCG represents ANI including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) expenses, such as income tax expense, that OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly and (c) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. Two of our Intermediate Holding Companies incur federal and state income taxes for their shares of Operating Group income. Generally, those two corporate entities hold an interest in the Operating Group’s management fee-generating assets and a small portion of its incentive and investment income-generating assets. As a result, historically our fee-related earnings generally have been subject to corporate-level taxation, and most of our incentive income and investment income generally has not been subject to corporate-level taxation. Thus, the blended effective income tax rate has generally tended to be higher to the extent that fee-related earnings represented a larger proportion of our ANI. Myriad other factors affect income tax expense and the effective income tax rate, and there can be no assurance that this historical relationship will continue going forward.
Assets under management (“AUM”) generally refers to the assets we manage and equals the NAV of the assets we manage, the fund-level leverage on which management fees are charged and the undrawn capital that we are entitled to call from investors in our funds pursuant to their capital commitments.
Management fee-generating assets under management (“management fee-generating AUM”) reflects the AUM on which we will earn management fees in the following quarter. Our closed-end funds typically pay management fees based on committed capital during the investment period, without regard to changes in NAV or the pace of capital drawdowns, and during the liquidation period on the lesser of (a) total funded capital and (b) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund. The annual management fee rate remains unchanged from the investment period through the liquidation period. Our open-end and evergreen funds pay management fees based on their NAV. As compared with AUM, management fee-generating AUM generally excludes the following:
Differences between AUM and either committed capital or cost basis for closed-end funds, other than for closed-end funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable;
Undrawn capital commitments to funds for which management fees are based on NAV or drawn capital;
Undrawn capital commitments to closed-end funds that have not yet commenced their investment periods;
The investments we make in our funds as general partner;
Closed-end funds that are beyond the term during which they pay management fees; and
AUM in restructured and liquidating evergreen funds for which management fees were waived.

24



Incentive-creating assets under management (“incentive-creating AUM”) refers to the AUM that may eventually produce incentive income. It represents the NAV of our funds for which we are entitled to receive an incentive allocation, excluding investments made by us and our employees and directors (which are not subject to an incentive allocation). All funds for which we are entitled to receive an incentive allocation are included in incentive-creating AUM, regardless of whether or not they are currently generating incentives. Incentive-creating AUM does not include undrawn capital commitments because they are not part of the NAV.
Consolidated funds refers to those funds that Oaktree consolidates through a majority voting interest or otherwise, including those funds in which Oaktree as the general partner is presumed to have control.
Distributable earnings is a non-GAAP performance measure derived from our segment results that we use to measure our earnings at the Operating Group level without the effects of the consolidated funds for the purpose of, among other things, assisting in the determination of equity distributions from the Operating Group. However, the declaration, payment and determination of the amount of equity distributions, if any, is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, which may change our distribution policy at any time.
Distributable earnings and distributable earnings revenues differ from ANI in that they exclude segment investment income (loss) and include the receipt of investment income or loss from distributions by our investments in funds and companies. In addition, distributable earnings differs from ANI in that it is net of Operating Group income taxes and excludes non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering. In contrast to the GAAP measure of net income or loss attributable to OCG, distributable earnings also excludes the effect of: (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) income taxes and expenses that OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly and (c) the adjustment for the OCGH non-controlling interest.
Distributable earnings–OCG, or distributable earnings per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of distributable earnings attributable to their ownership. Distributable earnings-OCG represents distributable earnings including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) expenses, such as current income tax expense, that OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly and (c) amounts payable under a tax receivable agreement. The income tax expense included in distributable earnings-OCG represents the implied current provision for income taxes calculated using an approach similar to that which is used in calculating the income tax provision for adjusted net income-OCG.
Economic net income (“ENI”) is a non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate the financial performance of our segment by applying the “method 2,” instead of the “method 1,” approach to accounting for incentive income. ANI follows method 1, for which incentive income is recognized by us when it becomes fixed or determinable, all related contingencies have been removed and collection is reasonably assured. The method 2 approach followed by ENI recognizes incentive income as if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of the date of the financial statements. ENI is computed by adjusting ANI for the change in accrued incentives (fund level), net of associated incentive income compensation expense, during the period.
Economic net income revenues is a non-GAAP measure applying the “method 2,” instead of the “method 1,” approach to accounting for segment incentive income and reflects the adjustments described above.
Economic net income–OCG, or economic net income per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of ENI attributable to their ownership. Economic net income-OCG represents ENI, including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) expenses, such as income tax expense, that OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly and (c) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. The income tax expense included in economic net income-OCG represents the implied provision for income taxes calculated using an approach similar to that which is used in calculating the income tax provision for adjusted net income-OCG.
Fee-related earnings (“FRE”) is a non-GAAP measure that we use to monitor the baseline earnings of our business. FRE is comprised of segment management fees (“fee-related earnings revenues”) less segment operating expenses other than incentive income compensation expense. This calculation is considered baseline because it

25



applies all bonus and other general expenses to management fees, even though a significant portion of those expenses is attributable to incentive and investment income. FRE includes non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering. FRE is presented before income taxes.
Fee-related earnings–OCG, or fee-related earnings per Class A unit, is a non-GAAP measure calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of FRE attributable to their ownership. Fee-related earnings–OCG represents FRE including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) expenses, such as income tax expense, that OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly and (c) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. Fee-related earnings–OCG income taxes is calculated excluding any segment incentive income or investment income (loss).
Intermediate Holding Companies collectively refers to the subsidiaries wholly owned by us.
Net asset value (“NAV”) refers to the value of all the assets of a fund (including cash and accrued interest and dividends) less all liabilities of the fund (including accrued expenses and any reserves established by us, in our discretion, for contingent liabilities) without reduction for accrued incentives (fund level) because they are reflected in the partners’ capital of the fund.
Oaktree, OCG, we, us, our or our company refers to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and, where applicable, its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Oaktree Operating Group (“Operating Group”) refers collectively to the entities that control the general partners and investment advisors of our funds in which we have a minority economic interest and indirect control.
Relevant Benchmark refers, with respect to:
our U.S. high yield bond strategy, to the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Cash-Pay Capped Index;
our European high yield bond strategy, to the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers excluding Russia 3% Constrained Index (USD Hedged);
our U.S. senior loan strategy (with the exception of the closed-end funds), to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index;
our European senior loan strategy, to the Credit Suisse Western European Leveraged Loan Index (EUR Hedged);
our U.S. convertible securities strategy, to an Oaktree custom convertible index that represents the Credit Suisse Convertible Securities Index from inception through December 31, 1999, the Goldman Sachs/Bloomberg Convertible 100 Index from January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2004 and the BofA Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index thereafter;
our non-U.S. convertible securities strategy, to the JACI Global ex-U.S. (Local) Index;
our high income convertible securities strategy, to the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Market Index; and
our emerging markets equity strategy, to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (Net).
Sharpe Ratio refers to a metric used to calculate risk-adjusted return. The Sharpe Ratio is the ratio of excess return to volatility, with excess return defined as the return above that of a riskless asset (based on the three-month U.S. Treasury bill, or for our European senior loan strategy, the Euro Overnight Index Average) divided by the standard deviation of such return. A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates a return that is higher than would be expected for the level of risk compared to the risk-free rate.

Use of Non-GAAP financial information
Oaktree discloses certain financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“non-GAAP”) in this earnings release. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are presented below. Management makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of Oaktree’s business based on these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Fee-related earnings is a component of adjusted net income and is comprised of segment management fees less segment operating expenses other than incentive income compensation expense.
(2)
Interest income was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(3)
This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income and fee-related earnings because it is a non-cash charge that does not affect our financial position.
(4)
Because adjusted net income and fee-related earnings are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.
(5)
Because adjusted net income and fee-related earnings are calculated at the Operating Group level, this adjustment adds back the effect of items applicable to OCG, its Intermediate Holding Companies or the OCGH non-controlling interest.

(1)
This adjustment eliminates our segment investment income, which with respect to investment in funds is initially largely non-cash in nature and is thus not available to fund our operations or make equity distributions.
(2)
This adjustment characterizes a portion of the distributions received from Oaktree and non-Oaktree funds as receipts of investment income or loss. In general, the income or loss component of a distribution from a fund is calculated by multiplying the amount of the distribution by the ratio of our investment’s undistributed income or loss to our remaining investment balance. In addition, if the distribution is made during the investment period, it is generally not reflected in distributable earnings until after the investment period ends.
(3)
This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering, which is excluded from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations or make equity distributions.
(4)
This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income because it does not affect our financial position and from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund operations or make equity distributions.
(5)
Because adjusted net income and distributable earnings are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.
(6)
Because adjusted net income and distributable earnings are calculated at the Operating Group level, this adjustment adds back the effect of items applicable to OCG, its Intermediate Holding Companies or the OCGH non-controlling interest.

Please see Glossary for the definition of economic net income.
(2)
The change in accrued incentives (fund level), net of associated incentive income compensation expense, represents the difference between (a) our recognition of net incentive income when it becomes fixed or determinable, all related contingencies have been removed and collection is reasonably assured, and (b) the incentive income generated by the funds during the period that would be due to us if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of that date, net of associated incentive income compensation expense.
(3)
This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges attributable to OCG related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income and economic net income because it is a non-cash charge that does not affect our financial position.
(4)
Because adjusted net income and economic net income are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.
