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 pleased with our results for the second quarter, as we generated record revenues with a balanced contribution from both our Investment Banking and Investment Management businesses. We continue to realize success in the Advisory marketplace, advising on leading M&A, restructuring, private capital raising and capital markets transactions, as revenues in our Investment Banking business were the second highest in our history. Our Investment Management business continued to grow assets under management, reporting its third highest revenue quarter in our history,” said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to invest in our business by adding world-class talent, allowing us to sustain our growth in revenues, earnings and market share, while balancing the cost of these investments on our short and intermediate term operating results. And we continued, in the first six months of 2014, to return our earnings to our shareholders, paying out $20.2 million in dividends and repurchasing 1,722,000 shares, substantially fulfilling in the first six months our commitment to offset the dilution of bonus equity awarded earlier this year.”

“Evercore’s basic strengths were evident in the second quarter,” said Roger Altman, Executive Chairman. “Our brand, our consistently growing talent pool, our globalization and the momentum of certain of our newer businesses were all manifest. And one of our hallmarks, steady recruiting, is on target. We again expect to add five or six new Senior Managing Directors on the Advisory side in 2014.”

The U.S. GAAP and Adjusted Pro Forma results present the continuing operations of the Company, which exclude amounts related to Evercore Pan-Asset Capital Management (“Pan”), whose operations were discontinued during the fourth quarter of 2013. 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”), and then those results are 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.

For the second quarter, Evercore’s Investment Banking segment reported Net Revenues of $188.8 million, which represents an increase of 5% year-over-year and 50% sequentially. Operating Income of $44.5 million decreased 2% from the second quarter of last year and increased 92% sequentially. Operating Margins were 23.6% in comparison to 25.3% for the second quarter of last year and 18.4% for the first quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Investment Banking reported Net Revenues of $315.0 million, an increase of 1% from last year. Year-to-date Operating Income was $67.7 million compared to $73.4 million last year. Year-to-date Operating Margins were 21.5%, compared to 23.6% last year.

Revenues

During the quarter, Investment Banking earned advisory fees from 150 clients (vs. 157 in Q2 2013 and 116 in Q1 2014) and fees in excess of $1 million from 40 transactions (vs. 38 in Q2 2013 and 32 in Q1 2014). For the first six months of the year, Investment Banking earned advisory fees from 215 clients (vs. 214 last year) and fees in excess of $1 million from 72 transactions (vs. 64 last year).

The Institutional Equities business contributed revenues of $11.4 million in the quarter, up 15% and 16%, respectively, in comparison to the first quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013, principally reflecting an increase in underwriting results.

Expenses

Compensation costs were $112.1 million for the second quarter, an increase of 4% year-over-year and 48% sequentially. The trailing twelve-month compensation ratio was 60.2%, up from 59.2% a year ago and down from 60.4% the previous quarter. Evercore’s Investment Banking compensation ratio was 59.4% for the second quarter, down versus the compensation ratio reported for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2014 of 59.9%. Year to-date compensation costs were $187.6 million, an increase of 1% from the prior year.

Non-compensation costs for the current quarter were $32.2 million, up 21% from the same period last year and 17% sequentially. The increase in costs versus the prior year reflects the addition of personnel within the business, increased new business costs associated with higher levels of global transaction activity and higher professional fees associated with a limited number of investment bankers serving under consulting contracts. The ratio of non-compensation costs to net revenue for the current quarter was 17.1%, compared to 14.8% in the same quarter last year and 21.8% in the previous quarter. Year-to-date non-compensation costs were $59.7 million, up 16% from the prior year. The ratio of non-compensation costs to revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 18.9%, compared to 16.5% last year.

Expenses in the Institutional Equities business were $12.7 million for the second quarter, an increase of 13% from the previous quarter.

(1) Management fees from Institutional Asset Management were $11.5 million, $11.1 million and $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, and $22.6 million and $21.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, on a U.S. GAAP basis, excluding the reduction of revenues for client-related expenses.

(2) Equity in G5 | Evercore - Wealth Management and ABS on a U.S. GAAP basis are reclassified from Investment Management Revenue to Income from Equity Method Investments.

Investment Advisory and Management Fees of $21.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 decreased compared to the same period a year ago, driven primarily by lower fees in Private Equity, partially offset by higher fees in Wealth Management and Institutional Asset Management. Private Equity fees in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 included $1.4 million of catch-up management fees associated with the final closing of Evercore Mexico Capital Partners III.

Realized and Unrealized Gains of $5.8 million in the quarter increased relative to the prior year; the change relative to the prior period was driven principally by Private Equity gains which by their nature may fluctuate significantly in both timing and amount.

Equity in Earnings of Affiliates of $1.2 million in the quarter increased relative to the prior year and the prior quarter principally as a result of higher income earned in the second quarter of 2014 by ABS and G5 | Evercore.

Expenses

Investment Management’s second quarter expenses were $21.6 million, up 7% compared to the second quarter of 2013 and 10% compared to the previous quarter. Year-to-date Investment Management expenses were $41.1 million, up 1% from a year ago.

Other U.S. GAAP Expenses

Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the exclusion of expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with the Lexicon acquisition, certain business acquisition-related charges and other professional fees. In addition, for Adjusted Pro Forma purposes, client related expenses 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 and six months ended June 30, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014, 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 primarily range from 61% to 80%. For the periods ended June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 the gain (loss) allocated to non-controlling interests was as follows:

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

We increased our ownership of the Wealth Management business from 51% to 61.5% in the second quarter of 2014.

Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma effective tax rate was 36.5% and 36.7%, respectively, compared to 38.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, Evercore’s U.S. GAAP effective tax rate was approximately 34.1% and 34.8%, respectively, compared to 43.7% and 44.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for U.S. GAAP purposes for 2014 reflects significant adjustments relating to the tax treatment of non-controlling interest associated with Evercore LP Units, state, local and foreign taxes, and other adjustments. In addition, for 2013, the effective tax rate for U.S. GAAP reflects the tax treatment of compensation transactions related to the vesting of Evercore LP Units, which were fully vested as of December 31, 2013.

Balance Sheet

The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, holding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $229.4 million at June 30, 2014. Current assets exceed current liabilities by $259.0 million at June 30, 2014. Amounts due related to the Long-Term Notes Payable were $104.2 million at June 30, 2014.

Capital Transactions

On July 21, 2014, the Board of Directors of Evercore declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid on September 12, 2014 to common stockholders of record on August 29, 2014.During the three months ended June 30, 2014 the Company repurchased approximately 572,000 shares at an average cost per share of $54.33, and a total of 1,722,000 shares in the first half of 2014 at an average price of $54.00.

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 primarily vested over a five-year period ending December 31, 2013. 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 this 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. Adjustments Associated with Business Combinations. The following charges 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 acquisition of SFS.

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. GP Investments. Write-off of General Partnership investment balances during the fourth quarter of 2013 associated with the acquisition of Protego.

3. Client Related Expenses. Client related expenses and provisions for uncollected receivables have been classified as a reduction of revenue in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation. The Company’s Management believes that this adjustment results in more meaningful key operating ratios, such as compensation to net revenues and operating margin.

4. Professional Fees. The expense associated with share based awards, which will be settled in Class A Shares and which reflect required adjustments for changes in the Company’s share price due to changes in employment status, is excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results.

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. In addition, the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation reflects the netting of changes in the Company’s Tax Receivable Agreement against Income Tax Expense.

A-2

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.

8. Presentation of Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investment in Pan. The Adjusted Pro Forma results from continuing operations exclude the income (loss) from our equity method investment in Pan. The Company’s Management believes this to be a more meaningful presentation.

(8a)   The exclusion from the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation of expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets acquired in the SFS acquisition.
 
(8b) The expense associated with share based awards, which will be settled in Class A Shares and which reflect required adjustments for changes in the Company’s share price due to changes in employment status, is excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results.
 
(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 Evercore’s effective tax rate assuming 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. In addition, the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation reflects the netting of changes in the Company’s Tax Receivable Agreement against Income Tax Expense.
 
(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 in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation.
 
(11a) Assumes the vesting of all Evercore LP partnership units and IPO related restricted stock unit awards in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation. 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.
 
(11b) Assumes the vesting of all Acquisition Related Share Issuance and Unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to Lexicon employees in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation. 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.
