Adjusted Pro Forma Net Revenues of $277.6 million were a record for the first six months of the year, compared to $245.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. was $21.2 million, or $0.49 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $17.8 million, or $0.43 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and $4.3 million, or $0.10 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. was $25.5 million, or $0.58 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $29.3 million, or $0.71 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

U.S. GAAP Net Revenues were $172.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $141.2 million and $102.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012, respectively. U.S. GAAP Net Revenues were $275.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $248.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. U.S. GAAP Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. was $7.9 million, or $0.25 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $2.3 million, or $0.08 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and ($3.4) million, or ($0.12) per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. U.S. GAAP Net Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. was $4.6 million, or $0.14 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $6.0 million, or $0.22 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The Adjusted Pro Forma compensation ratio for the current quarter was 60%, compared to 59% for the same period in 2011 and 63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The Adjusted Pro Forma compensation ratio for the trailing twelve months was 60%, flat from the same period in 2011 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2012. The U.S. GAAP compensation ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2012, June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012 was 66%, 71% and 79%, respectively. The U.S. GAAP trailing twelve-month compensation ratio of 70% compares to 67% for the same period in 2011 and 71% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2012.

Evercore’s quarterly results may fluctuate significantly due to the timing and amount of transaction fees earned, as well as other factors. Accordingly, financial results in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results over a longer period of time.

“We are generally pleased with our results, reporting record revenues for both the second quarter and the first half of 2012, and record net income for the quarter,” said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Advisory business delivered particularly strong results, earning fees in excess of $1 million dollars from 30 transactions, also a record. In addition, each of our early stage Investment Banking businesses contributed positively to Operating Income in the quarter. Our international Investment Banking efforts continued to strengthen, as 32% of our revenues were generated serving clients outside of the United States in the first half of the year. Our independent, advice based, operating model continues to perform extremely well despite the challenging market environment, as we build market share, add talent and deliver value to our clients. And, our significant share repurchase volumes during the quarter demonstrate our commitment to providing strong returns to shareholders.”

“It's impressive that our Investment Banking revenues for the first half of 2012 grew 23% while the global, dollar volume of completed transactions fell 30%. That signifies that Evercore continues to grow and gain market share. And, in turn, it reflects our steady and scrupulous recruiting of additional Senior Managing Directors. We have now entered the important Canadian market, with the addition of George Estey and the commitment to open a Toronto office. And, we expect to announce three additional Senior Managing Directors in overall banking during the next three months,” said Roger Altman, Executive Chairman. "Yes, the financial market environment is a challenging one, but our own backlog is strong."

The U.S. GAAP and Adjusted Pro Forma results for June 30, 2011 present the continuing operations of the Company, which exclude amounts related to Evercore Asset Management (“EAM”), whose operations were discontinued during the fourth quarter of 2011. See page A-1 for the full financial results of the Company including its discontinued operations.

Throughout the discussion of Evercore’s business segments, information is presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, which is an unaudited non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measure. Adjusted Pro Forma results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of vested and unvested Evercore LP Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore’s results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore’s operating results. Evercore uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information about the Adjusted Pro Forma basis of reporting used by management to evaluate the performance of Evercore and each line of business, including reconciliations of U.S. GAAP results to an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, see pages A-2 through A-11 included in Annex I. These Adjusted Pro Forma amounts are allocated to the Company’s two business segments: Investment Banking and Investment Management.

Business Line Reporting

A discussion of Adjusted Pro Forma revenues and expenses from continuing operations is presented below for the Investment Banking and Investment Management segments. Unless otherwise stated, all of the financial measures presented in this discussion are Adjusted Pro Forma measures. For a reconciliation of the Adjusted Pro Forma segment data to U.S. GAAP results, see pages A-2 to A-11 in Annex I.

Revenues

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, Investment Banking revenues were $151.4 million, an increase of 35% from the second quarter of last year and 79% from the previous quarter. Investment Banking earned advisory fees from 137 clients (vs. 77 in Q2 2011 and 104 in Q1 2012) and fees in excess of $1 million from 30 transactions (vs. 21 in Q2 2011 and 17 in Q1 2012). The Institutional Equities business contributed revenues of $6.7 million, a 29% increase over the prior quarter. The Private Funds Group closed two capital raises during the quarter. Both of these businesses contributed marginally to profitability in the quarter.

Expenses

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compensation costs were $89.8 million, an increase of 33% from the second quarter of last year and 65% from the previous quarter. The trailing twelve-month compensation ratio was 60%, down from 61% in Q2 2011 and flat from Q1 2012. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, Evercore’s Investment Banking compensation ratio was 59%, versus the compensation ratio reported for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2012 of 60% and 64%, respectively.

Non-compensation costs for the current quarter of $25.9 million increased 43% from the same period last year and 12% from last quarter. The year-over-year increase in costs reflects the Lexicon acquisition and continued growth of the Investment Banking business. The sequential quarter-over-quarter increase was driven principally by higher occupancy and business development costs. The ratio of non-compensation costs to revenue for the current quarter was 17%, compared to 16% in the same quarter last year and 27% in the previous quarter. Expenses in the Institutional Equities business were $6.6 million for the second quarter, in line with first quarter expenses.

Investment Management

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, Investment Management reported net revenues and operating income of $20.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Investment Management reported an operating margin of 4% for the current quarter. As of June 30, 2012, Investment Management had $11.8 billion of AUM.

AUM of $11.8 billion declined 8% in comparison to the first quarter on net outflows of ($0.7) billion and market depreciation of ($0.4) billion.

(1) Management fees from Institutional Asset Management were $12.5 million, $12.6 million and $25.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, March 31, 2012 and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, on a U.S. GAAP basis, excluding the reduction of revenues for client-related expenses.
(2) Equity in Pan, G5 and ABS on a U.S. GAAP basis are reclassified from Investment Management Revenue to Income from Equity Method Investments.
 
 

The decline in revenue relative to the prior year was due to a decrease in both Investment Advisory and Management Fees, and in Realized and Unrealized Gains on investments. Investment Advisory and Management Fees of $19.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 declined compared to the same period a year ago, as higher fees in Wealth Management were offset by declines in Institutional Asset Management. Fees earned in the current quarter increased in comparison to the previous quarter driven principally by increased AUM in Wealth Management.

Realized and Unrealized Gains of $0.8 million in the quarter declined by $4.1 million relative to the prior year, when significant gains were recognized from investments in Trilantic, and were down moderately relative to the prior quarter.

Equity in earnings of affiliates of $0.8 million in the quarter was in line with the first quarter, but increased relative to the prior year reflecting an increased contribution from ABS Investment Management.

Expenses

Expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 of $20.0 million decreased 14% from the same period last year and increased 4% from the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower performance-based compensation expense consistent with the year-over-year decline in revenue. The sequential quarterly increase in expenses primarily reflects an increase in compensation based on the performance of individual business lines.

Other U.S. GAAP Expenses

Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the exclusion of expenses associated with the vesting of IPO equity awards and awards granted in conjunction with the Lexicon acquisition and certain business acquisition-related costs, including Special Charges. In addition, for Adjusted Pro Forma purposes, client related expenses and expenses associated with revenue-sharing engagements with third parties have been presented as a reduction from Revenues and Non-compensation costs. Further details of these expenses, as well as an explanation of similar expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and the three months ended March 31, 2012, are included in Annex I, pages A-2 to A-11.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling Interests in certain subsidiaries are owned by the principals and strategic investors in these businesses. Evercore’s equity ownership percentages in these businesses range from 51% to 86%. For the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and March 31, 2012 the gain (loss) allocated to non-controlling interests was as follows:

(1) The difference between Adjusted Pro Forma and U.S. GAAP Noncontrolling Interests relates primarily to intangible amortization expense for certain acquisitions which we excluded from the Adjusted Pro Forma results.
 
 

Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma effective tax rate was 38%, compared to 40% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, Evercore’s U.S. GAAP effective tax rate was approximately 45% and 42%, respectively, compared to 52% and 44%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The effective tax rate for U.S. GAAP purposes reflects significant adjustments relating to the tax treatment of certain compensation transactions, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of non-U.S. subsidiaries as well as the non-controlling interest associated with Evercore LP Units.

Balance Sheet

The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, holding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $197.7 million at June 30, 2012. Current assets exceed current liabilities by $188.8 million at June 30, 2012. Amounts due related to the Long-Term Notes Payable were $100.5 million at June 30, 2012.

During the quarter the Company repurchased approximately 1,015,000 shares at an average cost of $25.12 per share.

Dividend

On July 24, 2012, the Board of Directors of Evercore declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share to be paid on September 7, 2012 to common stockholders of record on August 31, 2012.

Adjusted Pro Forma Results

Throughout the discussion of Evercore’s business segments, information is presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measure. Adjusted Pro Forma results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of vested and unvested Evercore LP Units, other IPO related restricted stock unit awards, as well as Acquisition Related Share Issuances and Unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to Lexicon employees, into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore’s results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore’s operating results. The Company uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These Adjusted Pro Forma amounts are allocated to the Company’s two business segments: Investment Banking and Investment Management. The differences between Adjusted Pro Forma and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:

1. Assumed Vesting of Evercore LP Units and Exchange into Class A Shares. The Company incurred expenses, primarily, in Employee Compensation and Benefits, resulting from the modification of Evercore LP Units, which will vest generally over a five-year period. The Adjusted Pro Forma results assume these LP Units have vested and have been exchanged for Class A shares. Accordingly, any expense associated with these units and related awards is excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results and the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. The Company’s Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed conversion of these previously granted but unvested equity, and thus the Adjusted Pro Forma results reflect the vesting of all unvested Evercore LP partnership units and, IPO related restricted stock unit awards.

2. Vesting of Contingently Vested Equity Awards. The Company incurred expenses in Employee Compensation and Benefits, resulting from the vesting of awards issued at the time of the IPO. These awards vest upon the occurrence of specified vesting events rather than merely the passage of time and continued service. In periods prior to the completion of the June 2011 offering, we concluded that it was not probable that the vesting conditions would be achieved. Accordingly, we had not been accruing compensation expense relating to these unvested stock-based awards. The completion of the June 2011 offering resulted in Messrs. Altman, Beutner and Aspe, and trusts benefiting their families and permitted transferees, collectively, ceasing to beneficially own at least 50% of the aggregate Evercore LP partnership units owned by them on the date of the internal reorganization, resulting in the vesting of these awards.

3. Expenses Associated with Business Combinations. The following expenses resulting from business combinations have been excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results because the Company’s Management believes that operating performance is more comparable across periods excluding the effects of these acquisition-related charges;

a. Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets related to the Protego acquisition, the Braveheart acquisition and the acquisitions of SFS and Lexicon.

b. Compensation Charges. Expenses for deferred share-based and cash consideration and retention awards associated with the acquisition of Lexicon, as well as base salary adjustments for Lexicon employees for the period preceding the acquisition.

c. Special Charges. Expenses primarily related to exiting the legacy office space in the UK.

A - 2

4. Client Related Expenses. The Company has reflected the reclassification of client related expenses, expenses associated with revenue sharing engagements with third parties and provisions for uncollected receivables, as a reduction of revenue. The Company’s Management believes that this adjustment results in more meaningful key operating ratios, such as compensation to net revenues and operating margin.

5. Income Taxes. Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, a C-Corporation and a Public Corporation and therefore, not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate-level taxes. As a result, adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma earnings to assume that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C-Corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates, that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within the structure on a consolidated basis and that adjustments for deferred tax assets related to the ultimate tax deductions for equity-based compensation awards are made directly to stockholders’ equity. This assumption is consistent with the assumption that all Evercore LP Units are vested and exchanged into Class A shares, as discussed in Item 1 above, as the assumed exchange would change the tax structure of the Company.

6. Presentation of Interest Expense. The Adjusted Pro Forma results present interest expense on short-term repurchase agreements, within the Investment Management segment, in Other Revenues, net, as the Company’s Management believes it is more meaningful to present the spread on net interest resulting from the matched financial assets and liabilities. In addition, Adjusted Pro Forma Investment Banking and Investment Management Operating Income is presented before interest expense on long-term debt, which is included in interest expense on a U.S. GAAP basis.

7. Presentation of Income from Equity Method Investments. The Adjusted Pro Forma results present Income from Equity Method Investments within Revenue as the Company’s Management believes it is a more meaningful presentation.

(8a) Reflects expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Protego, Braveheart, SFS and Lexicon acquisitions.
(9) Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, a C-Corporation and a Public Corporation and therefore, not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate level taxes. As a result, adjustments have been made to decrease Evercore’s effective tax rate to approximately 38% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. These adjustments assume that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C-Corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates, that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within the structure on a consolidated basis and that, historically, adjustments for deferred tax assets related to the ultimate tax deductions for equity-based compensation awards are made directly to stockholders’ equity.
(10) Reflects adjustment to eliminate noncontrolling interest related to all Evercore LP partnership units which are assumed to be converted to Class A common stock.
(11a) Reflects adjustments to include the dilutive effect of the Warrants and Unvested Restricted Stock Units – Service Based, which have been excluded for U.S. GAAP as a result of the Company having a loss for the period.
(11b) Assumes the vesting of all Evercore LP partnership units and IPO related restricted stock unit awards. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP net income per share, the unvested Evercore LP partnership units are anti-dilutive and the IPO related restricted stock unit awards are excluded from the calculation prior to the June 2011 offering.
(11c) Assumes the vesting of all Acquisition Related Share Issuance and Unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to Lexicon employees. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP, these Shares and Restricted Stock Units are reflected using the Treasury Stock Method.
