Blackstones Third Quarter 2015 Earnings October 15, 2015 Exhibit 99.2 |
Blackstone 1 Blackstones Third Quarter 2015 Highlights Economic Net Income (ENI) was negative $416 million, or $(0.35)/unit, in the third quarter, driven by declines in the unrealized value of public holdings, despite strong underlying portfolio fundamentals across the funds. ENI was $1.7 billion ($1.45/unit) year-to-date on $3.7 billion of Total Revenues. Distributable Earnings (DE) was $692 million ($0.58/unit) in the third quarter, on $470 million of Realized Performance Fees. DE was $3.0 billion ($2.51/unit) year-to-date, up 54% from $1.9 billion in the same period last year, on $2.7 billion of Realized Performance Fees, up 54% year-over-year. Fee Related Earnings (FRE) was $266 million in the third quarter, up 12% from $237 million in the same period last year. GAAP Net Income was negative $255 million for the quarter, net of certain non-cash IPO and transaction related expenses and net income attributable to non-controlling interests, primarily inside ownership. Total Assets Under Management (AUM) reached a record $333.9 billion through a combination of consistently strong fundraising and organic expansion. Gross inflows were $16.1 billion in the third quarter, bringing last twelve months (LTM) inflows to a record $96.9 billion. Total AUM increased 17% year-over-year, despite returning $59.7 billion of capital to investors over the LTM as asset growth and above-market appreciation outpaced increased realizations. Significant capital deployment of $6.5 billion in the third quarter and $16.6 billion year-to-date was achieved by leveraging Blackstones diverse platform to find opportunities globally. Blackstone declared a third quarter distribution of $0.49 per common unit payable on November 2, 2015; year-to-date distributions were a record $2.12 per common unit, up 58% over the same period last year. |

Blackstone 31 Definitions and Distribution Policy Blackstone discloses the following 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 of America (non-GAAP) in this presentation:
Blackstone uses Economic Income, or EI, as a key measure of value creation, a benchmark of its performance and in making
resource deployment and
compensation decisions across its five segments. EI represents segment net income before taxes excluding transaction-related charges. Transaction-related charges arise from Blackstones initial public offering (IPO) and long-term retention
programs outside of annual deferred compensation and other
corporate actions, including acquisitions. Transaction-related charges include equity-based compensation charges, the amortization of intangible assets and contingent consideration associated with acquisitions. EI presents revenues and expenses on a basis
that deconsolidates the investment funds Blackstone
manages.
Economic Net Income, or ENI, represents EI adjusted to include current period taxes. Taxes represent the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income (Loss) Before Provision for Taxes. Blackstone uses Fee Related Earnings, or FRE, as a key measure to highlight earnings from operations excluding: (a) the
income related to performance
fees and related carry plan costs and (b) income earned from Blackstones investments in the Blackstone Funds. Blackstone uses FRE as a measure to assess whether recurring revenue from its businesses is sufficient to adequately cover all of its operating expenses and
generate profits. FRE equals contractual fee revenues less (a)
compensation expenses (which includes amortization of non-IPO and non-acquisition-related equity- based awards, but excludes amortization of IPO and acquisition-related equity-based awards, carried interest and incentive fee
compensation), and (b) other non-interest operating
expenses.
Distributable Earnings, or DE, which is derived from
Blackstones segment reported results, is a supplemental measure to assess performance and amounts available for distributions to Blackstone unitholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the
Blackstone Holdings
partnerships.
DE is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of the consolidation of the Blackstone Funds. DE, which is a component of ENI, is the sum across all segments of: (a) Total Management and Advisory Fees, (b) Interest and
Dividend Revenue, (c)
Other Revenue, (d) Realized Performance Fees, and (e) Realized Investment Income (Loss); less (a) Compensation, excluding the expense of equity-based awards, (b) Realized Performance Fee Compensation, (c) Other Operating Expenses, and (d) Taxes and Related Payables Including the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement. DE is reconciled to Blackstones Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Blackstone uses Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or Adjusted EBITDA, which is
derived from segment results, to assess its ability to service
its borrowings. Adjusted EBITDA represents DE plus the addition of (a) Interest Expense, (b) Taxes and Related Payables Including Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement, and (c) Depreciation and Amortization.
Distribution Policy. Blackstones intention is to distribute quarterly
approximately 85% of The Blackstone Group L.P.s share of Distributable Earnings, subject to adjustment by amounts determined by Blackstones general partner to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the
conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its
business and funds, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt instruments or other agreements, or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and distributions to unitholders for any ensuing quarter. The amount to be distributed could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. All of the foregoing is subject to the qualification that
the declaration and payment of any distributions are at the sole
discretion of Blackstones general partner and may change at any time, including, without limitation, to eliminate such distributions entirely. |
