New York, July 23, 2020: Blackstone (NYSE:BX) today reported its second quarter 2020 results.

We are very well positioned to navigate the road ahead with our long-term committed capital model and an industry-record $156 billion of dry powder.”

Not
applicable.
(a)
Excludes investment vehicles where Blackstone does not earn fees.
(b)
Available Capital represents total investable capital commitments, including side-by-side, adjusted for certain expenses and expired or recallable
capital and may include leverage, less invested capital. This amount is not reduced by outstanding commitments to investments.
(c)
Multiple of Invested Capital (“MOIC”) represents carrying value, before management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues, divided by
invested capital.
(d)
Net Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) represents the annualized inception to June 30, 2020 IRR on total invested capital based on realized proceeds
and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues. IRRs are calculated using actual timing
of limited partner cash flows. Initial inception date cash flow may differ from the Investment Period Beginning Date.
(e)
The 8% Realized Net IRR and 8% Total Net IRR exclude investors that opted out of the Hilton investment opportunity. Overall BREP
International II
performance reflects a 7% Realized Net IRR and a 7% Total Net IRR.
(f)
BREP Co-Investment represents co-investment capital raised for various BREP investments. The Net IRR reflected is calculated by aggregating each
co-investment’s realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues.
(g)
BPP represents the core+ real estate funds which invest with a more modest risk profile and lower leverage. Committed Capital
and Available
Capital are not regularly reported to investors in our Core+ strategy and are not applicable in the context of these funds.
(h)
Unrealized Investment Value reflects BREIT’s net asset value as of June 30, 2020. Realized Investment Value represents BREIT’s cash distributions,
net of servicing fees. BREIT net return reflects a per share blended return, assuming BREIT had a single share class, reinvestment of all dividends
received during the period, and no upfront selling commission, net of all fees and expenses incurred by BREIT. These returns are
not
representative of the returns experienced by any particular investor or share class. Inception to date net returns are presented
on an annualized
basis
and
are
from
January
1,
2017.
Committed
Capital
and
Available
Capital
are
not

Core+
strategy
and
are
not applicable in the context of this vehicle.
(i)
BREDS High-Yield represents the flagship real estate debt drawdown funds only and excludes BREDS High-Grade.
(j)
Blackstone Core Equity Partners is a core private equity fund which invests with a more modest risk profile and longer hold period.
(k)
Realizations are treated as return of capital until fully recovered and therefore unrealized and realized MOICs are not meaningful. If information
is not available on a timely basis, returns are calculated from results that are reported on a three month lag and therefore do not include the
impact of economic and market activities in the quarter in which such events occur.
(l)
Funds presented represent the flagship credit drawdown funds only. The Total Credit Net IRR is the combined IRR of the credit
drawdown funds
presented.
The returns presented herein represent those of the applicable Blackstone Funds and not those of The Blackstone Group Inc.

Note:

(a)
This adjustment removes Transaction-Related Charges, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. Transaction-Related Charges arise
from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, and Blackstone’s initial public offering. They consist primarily
of
equity-based compensation
charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in
tax law or similar event, transaction costs and any gains or losses associated with these corporate actions.
(b)
This adjustment removes the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. This amount
includes amortization of intangibles associated with Blackstone’s investment in Pátria, which is accounted for under the equity method.
(c)
This adjustment reverses the effect of consolidating Blackstone Funds, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. This adjustment
includes the elimination of Blackstone’s interest in these funds and the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated
operating partnerships held by non-controlling interests.
(d)
This adjustment removes Unrealized Performance Revenues on a segment basis. The Segment Adjustment represents the add back of
performance
revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.

Blackstone’s Second Quarter 2020 Highlights
The changes in carrying value, fund returns and composite returns presented throughout this presentation represent those of the applicable
Blackstone Funds and not those of Blackstone.
See Notes to page 18 regarding Net Accrued Performance Revenue redefinition.
Notes to page 5 -
Investment Performance and Net Accrued Performance Revenues
Effective 1Q’20, the Credit segment was renamed Credit & Insurance; however, there was no change to the composition of the segment or
historical results.
Effective 1Q’20, Core+ appreciation was updated to include BREIT and represents a weighted average of BREIT’s per share appreciation and BPP
appreciation for the period. The returns are weighted based on the average of BREIT’s monthly net asset values and the average of BPP’s
quarterly
adjusted
beginning
period
market
values
for
the
period.
This
presentation
provides
a
more
holistic
view
of
Core+
by
including
BREIT
performance.
Effective
1Q’20,
Corporate
Private
Equity
appreciation
was
updated
to
include
Core
Private
Equity
appreciation.
This
presentation
provides
a
more holistic view of Corporate Private Equity by including Core Private Equity performance.
Results
for
the
Secondaries
business
(also
referred
to
as
Strategic
Partners)
are
reported
on

financial statements, which generally report based on a three month lag from the underlying fund investments unless information is available on
a more timely basis. As a result, the appreciation presented herein does not include the impact of economic and market activity in the current
quarter. Current market activity is expected to affect reported results in upcoming quarters.
The
BPS
Composite
gross
and
net
returns
are
based
on
the
BAAM
Principal
Solutions
(“BPS”)
Composite,
which
does
not
include
BAAM’s
individual
investor solutions (liquid alternatives), strategic capital (seeding and minority interests), strategic opportunities (co-invests), and advisory (non-
discretionary) platforms, except for investments by BPS funds directly into those platforms. BAAM-managed funds in liquidation and non fee-
paying
assets
(net
returns
only)
are
also
excluded.
The
funds/accounts
that
comprise
the
BPS
Composite
are
not
managed
within
a
single
fund
or
account and are managed with different mandates. There is no guarantee that BAAM would have made the same mix of investments in a stand-
alone fund/account. The BPS Composite is not an investible product and, as such, the performance of the BPS Composite does not represent the
performance of an actual fund or account.

Effective 1Q’20, Credit returns are presented as a composite return instead of separate returns for performing credit and distressed. The Credit
Composite
now
also
includes
the
long
only
strategy.
The
Credit
Composite
return
is
a
weighted
average
of
(a)
the
return
based
on
the
combined
quarterly cash flows of performing credit and distressed fee-earning funds and (b) the weighted average quarterly return of all long only strategy
fee-earning funds. Only fee-earning funds exceeding $100 million of fair value at the beginning of each respective quarter-end are included and
funds in liquidation are excluded. Credit returns exclude Blackstone Funds that were contributed to GSO as part of Blackstone’s acquisition of
GSO in March 2008.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY
Blackstone
discloses
the
following
operating
metrics
and
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:
Segment
Distributable
Earnings,
or
Segment
DE”,
is
Blackstone’s
segment
profitability
measure
used
to
make
operating
decisions
and
assess
performance across Blackstone’s four segments. Segment DE represents the net realized earnings of Blackstone’s segments and is the sum of Fee
Related Earnings and Net Realizations for each segment. Blackstone’s segments are presented on a basis that deconsolidates Blackstone Funds,
eliminates non-controlling ownership interests in Blackstone’s consolidated Operating Partnerships, removes the amortization of intangible assets
and removes Transaction-Related Charges. Segment DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to,
its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.
Net
Realizations
is
presented
on
a
segment
basis
and
is
the
sum
of
Realized
Principal
Investment
Income
and
Realized
Performance
Revenues (which refers to Realized Performance Revenues excluding Fee Related Performance Revenues), less Realized Performance
Compensation (which refers to Realized Performance Compensation excluding Fee Related Performance Compensation and Equity-Based
Performance Compensation).
Total
Segment
Revenues
and
Segment
Revenues

Net
Management
and
Advisory
Fees,

Revenues,
Realized Performance Revenues and Realized Principal Investment Income.
Distributable
Earnings,

segment
reported
results.
DE
is
used
to
assess
performance
and
amounts
available
for dividends to Blackstone shareholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the Blackstone Holdings
Partnerships. DE is the sum of Segment DE plus Net Interest Income (Loss) less Taxes and Related Payables. DE excludes unrealized activity and is
derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for
Taxes.
Net
Interest
Income
(Loss)
is
presented
on
a
segment
basis
and
is
equal
to
Interest
and
Dividend
Revenue
less
Interest
Expense,
adjusted
for
the impact of consolidation of Blackstone Funds, and interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement. 
Taxes
and
Related
Payables
represent
the
total
GAAP
tax
provision
adjusted
to
include
only
the
current
tax
provision
(benefit)
calculated
on Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes excluding the tax impact of any divestitures and including the Payable under the Tax
Receivable Agreement.
Fee
Related
Earnings,
or
FRE”,
is
a
performance
measure
used
to
assess
Blackstone’s
ability
to
generate
profits
from
revenues
that

measured
and
received
on
a
recurring
basis
and
not
subject
to
future
realization
events.
FRE
equals
management
and
advisory
fees
(net
of
management fee reductions and offsets) plus Fee Related Performance Revenues, less (a) Fee Related Compensation on a segment basis, and
(b)
Other Operating Expenses. FRE is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of
Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.
Fee
Related
Compensation
is
presented
on
a
segment
basis
and
refers
to
the
compensation
expense,
excluding
Equity-Based
Compensation,
directly related to (a) Management and Advisory Fees, Net and (b) Fee Related Performance Revenues, referred to as Fee Related
Performance Compensation.
Fee
Related
Performance
Revenues
refers
to
the
realized
portion
of
Performance
Revenues
from
Perpetual
Capital
that
are
(a)

a
supplemental
measure
used
to
assess
performance

service
its
borrowings.

of
its
business,
to

appropriate
investments
in
its
business
and
funds,
to
comply
with
applicable
law,
