Evercores combined results aggregate predecessor and successor results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) before and after the firms internal reorganization, the acquisition of Protego Asesores (Protego) and other transactions undertaken in connection with the IPO for the periods presented. The combined results are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be used in isolation or substitution of predecessor and successor results.
1
Evercores pro forma results reflect the impact of the firms internal reorganization, the acquisition of Protego and other transactions undertaken in connection with the IPO and are prepared in the same manner as the unaudited pro forma financial information included in its IPO prospectus.
Adjusted pro forma results are provided principally to give additional information about the per-share effect of previously issued but unvested equity and to exclude charges associated with Evercores line of credit of $1.7 million and amortization of intangible assets acquired with Protego of $2.9 million. However, management has concluded that at the current time it is not probable that the conditions relating to the vesting of unvested partnership units or restricted stock units will be achieved or satisfied.
Evercore believes that the disclosed pro forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercores results prior and subsequent to the IPO. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP results to pro forma and adjusted pro forma results is presented in the tables included in Annex I, as well as a description of how management believes the pro forma and adjusted pro forma results provide useful information in evaluating Evercores ongoing operations.
Evercores revenues and net income can fluctuate materially depending on the number, size and timing of the completed transactions on which it advised, the number and size of Investment Management gains or losses and other factors. Accordingly, the revenues and net income in any particular quarter may not be indicative of future results. Evercore believes that annual results are the most meaningful.
Business Overview
Evercores Advisory and Investment Management business segments benefited in the nine months and third quarter ended September 30, 2006 from the strength of their respective models, strong execution and favorable market conditions. The global M&A environment remains robust, as evidenced by the increase to $115.7 million from $83.0 million in pro forma Advisory revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable 2005 period. In addition, the Investment Management business performed well, with strong returns for Evercore Capital Partners II (ECP II) and continued growth of assets under management in Evercores traditional asset management business. ECP II earned a significant return on its investment in Michigan Electric Transmission Company and recorded a dividend through the recapitalization of Mr. Bults Inc, another portfolio company.
The fundamentals of our business remain excellent. Our pipeline of advisory engagements is well above last years level, as clients continue to demand our classical, independent advisory services, said Roger Altman, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, Evercore Partners. We are executing our growth strategy. In the third quarter, we became a public company and successfully expanded our global presence by completing our combination with Mexico-based Protego and agreeing to acquire U.K.-based Braveheart Financial Services. Our international initiatives will significantly strengthen our capabilities by providing us with an unparalleled team of world class senior level advisors.
2
We remain focused on managing costs and increasing our scale, which has enabled us to grow our pre-tax margins significantly this year. We are confident that our successful track record and focus on recruiting and retaining leading talent will continue to attract clients and investment opportunities to our firm worldwide, said Austin Beutner, President and Co-Chief Executive Officer, Evercore Partners. Our Investment Management business is generating attractive returns and we are well positioned to benefit from a number of market trends that favor our value-oriented investment approach. We have broadened our investing activities to include public equities and we are preparing to start fundraising for our new private equity fund, Evercore Capital Partners III.

The increase in pro forma Advisory revenues for the first nine months of 2006 as compared to 2005 was primarily attributable to a larger number of success fees as well as a larger average size of success fees.
Transactions completed in the third quarter 2006 on which Evercore advised included:
| Cendant in its spin-off of Realogy Corporate to shareholders |
| Cendant in its spin-off of Wyndham Worldwide to shareholders |
| Cendant in its spin-off of Travelport Inc. to The Blackstone Group |
| Orbital Data in its sale to Citrix Systems |
| Winternals Software in its sale to Microsoft |
3
Among the transactions announced in the third quarter 2006 on which Evercore is advising are:
| Commonwealth Telephone in its sale to Citizens Communications |
| AT&T in its acquisition of USinternetworking |
| Monster Worldwide in the sale of its recruitment advertisement agency TMP Worldwide |
| Time Warner Telecom in its acquisition of Xspedius Communications |
| IntercontinentalExchange in its acquisition of the New York Board of Trade |
Some recent highlights include Evercore advising CVS on its merger with Caremark and our serving as sole advisor to Instinet in its sale to Nomura, both of which were announced last week. The CVS/Caremark transaction is expected to be the seventh largest stock-for-stock merger in the U.S. in the past five years which means that Evercore has now been an advisor on three of the ten largest stock-for-stock deals during that period.
In addition, Evercores restructuring advisory business is gaining momentum. Evercore recently has been engaged on a number of significant restructuring assignments, including advising Cerberus on its restructuring of Delphi.
Protegos pro forma advisory revenues for the first nine months of 2006 were $8.4 million.

On a pro forma basis, Investment Management revenues increased 31.5% and 39.6% for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. This is principally due to positive investment results in the ECP II portfolio. During 2006, ECP II sold its investment in Michigan Electric Transmission Company for a sizeable gain and recorded a dividend recapitalization of its investment in Mr. Bults, Inc. Additionally, portfolio company fees increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 over the same period last year due to increased transaction and monitoring fees.

Compensation and Benefits
Because the firm operated as a series of limited liability companies prior to its IPO, payments for services rendered by Evercores senior managing directors generally were accounted for as distributions of members capital, rather than compensation expenses. As a result, Evercores pre-IPO compensation and benefits expenses do not reflect a large portion of payments for services rendered by the firms senior managing directors and do not fairly reflect the operating costs Evercore expects to incur as a public company. As a corporation, Evercore includes all payments for services rendered by its senior managing directors in compensation and benefit expenses.
Evercores compensation and benefit expenses for the period following the completion of its IPO reflects a 50% ratio of compensation to revenues, excluding reimbursable expenses and carried interest and the impact of $4.3 million in additional compensation expenses recognized post IPO associated with the estimated fair value of vested restricted stock units granted in connection with the IPO. Pro forma results reflect a 50% ratio of compensation and benefits to revenue, excluding reimbursable expenses and carried interest.
As of September 30, 2006 Evercores total headcount was 273 employees, compared with 102 as of September 30, 2005. The following table illustrates Evercores increase in headcount.

Compensation and benefit expense is generally based on performance and can fluctuate materially in a quarter. Accordingly, the amount of compensation and benefit expense in any particular quarter may not be indicative of future periods.
Non-Compensation Expenses
Pro forma non-compensation expense was $31.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of 22.7% compared to $25.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase is due to larger deal and transaction related expenses, generally billable to clients, financing costs and an increase in costs commensurate with Evercores expanded headcount, principally leased office space and technology related expenses, partially offset by an overall reduction in consulting fees. Adjusted pro forma non-compensation expense was $26.9 million and $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively, an increase of 18.0% year-over-year.
Pro forma non-compensation expense was $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 a decrease of 3.0% compared to $9.2 million for three months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease is due to a net decline in consulting fees partially offset by increased deal and transaction related expenses, generally billable to clients, financing costs and an increase in expenses commensurate with Evercores expanded headcount, principally leased office space and technology related expenses. Adjusted pro forma non-compensation expense was $8.4 million and $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively, a decrease of 8.4% year-over-year.
Income Taxes
On a historical combined basis, the provision for income taxes for the nine months and third quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $3.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, compared to $1.8 million and $0.8 million for the corresponding periods in 2005. The combined effective tax rates for the nine months and third quarter ended September 30, 2006 were 4.20% and 6.00% respectively, compared to 4.36% and 2.80% for the corresponding periods in 2005.
Prior to the IPO, Evercore was not subject to federal income taxes, but was subject to New York City unincorporated business tax and New York City general corporation taxes. As a result of
7
the IPO, the operating business entities of Evercore were restructured and a portion of Evercores income will be subject to US federal income taxes. Since the IPO, Evercores effective tax rate was approximately 45% reflecting Evercores income subject to US federal income, foreign, state and local taxes. The pro forma effective tax rate was approximately 45%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2006, Evercores cash totaled $58.9 million, and its investments and securities totaled $18.0 million. Stockholders equity was $108.6 million as of September 30, 2006.

Pro Forma Financial Information
The historical results of operations for periods prior to August 10, 2006, the date of Evercores corporate reorganization, are not comparable to results of operations for subsequent periods. Accordingly, for periods prior to August 10, 2006, Evercore believes that pro forma results provide the most meaningful basis for comparison of historical periods.
The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of income for the three month and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 present the consolidated results of operations of Evercore Partners Inc. assuming that the reorganization had been completed as of both January 1, 2006 and January 1, 2005. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable in order to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the impact of the reorganization transactions on the historical financial information of Evercore. The adjustments are described in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of income. The Evercore LP pro forma adjustments principally give effect to the following items:
| the formation transaction includes the elimination of the financial results of the general partners of the Evercore Capital Partners I, Evercore Capital Partners II and Evercore Ventures funds and certain other entities through which Co-CEOs have invested capital in the Evercore Capital Partners I fund, which was not contributed to Evercore LP; and |
| the Protego acquisition resulted in certain purchase accounting adjustments such as the recording of intangible assets and its periodic amortization. |
The Evercore Partners Inc. pro forma adjustments principally give effect to the formation transaction and the Protego acquisition includes the following items:
| in the case of the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of income data, total compensation and benefits expenses at 50% of our total revenue, which gives effect to Evercores policy following the initial public offering to set its total compensation and benefits expenses at a level not to exceed 50% of its total revenue each year (excluding for purposes of this calculation, any revenue or compensation and benefits expense relating to gains or losses on investments or carried interest expense reimbursements), and management initially expects to accrue compensation and benefits expense equal to 50% of its total revenue following the initial public offering. |
| in the case of the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of income data, a provision for corporate income taxes at an effective tax rate was approximately 45%, which assumes the highest statutory rates apportioned to each state, local and/or foreign tax jurisdiction and reflected net of U.S. federal tax benefit. |
The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is included for informational purposes only and does not purport to reflect the results of operations or financial position of Evercore that would have occurred had we operated as a public company during the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of Evercores results of operations or financial condition had the transactions contemplated in connection with the reorganization been completed on the dates assumed. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information also does not project the results of operations or financial position for any future period or date.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Statements of Income ($ in thousands):
(a) | Adjustment reflects the elimination of the historical results of operations for the general partners of the Evercore Capital Partners I, Evercore Capital Partners II and Evercore Ventures funds and certain other entities through which Messrs. Altman and Beutner have invested capital in the Evercore Capital Partners I fund, specifically, Evercore Founders LLC and Evercore Founders Cayman Limited, which were not contributed to Evercore LP. For the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2006, this adjustment reflects $0 and $5,005 of net gains associated with carried interest respectively. For the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2005, this adjustment reflects $4,263 and $1,669 of net gains associated with carried interest respectively, and $7 and $(3) minority interest. |
(b) | Adjustment reflects the tax impact on Evercore LPs New York City Unincorporated Business Tax, or UBT, associated with adjustments for the Formation Transaction, including the New York City tax impact of converting the subchapter S corporations to limited liability companies. Since the entities that form Evercore have been limited liability companies, partnerships or sub-chapter S entities, Evercores income has not been subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Taxes related to income earned by limited liability companies and partnerships represent obligations of the individual Senior Managing Directors. Income taxes shown on Evercore Partners Inc.s historical consolidated statements of income are attributable to the New York City UBT, attributable to Evercores operations apportioned to New York City. |
(c) | Balances reflect the historical financial results for Protego for the three months ended from July 1, 2006 through August 10, 2006 and for the nine months ended January 1, 2006 through August 10, 2006. |
(d) | Reflects the amortization of intangible assets acquired in conjunction with the purchase of Protego with an estimated useful life ranging from 0.5 years to five years. The intangible assets with finite useful lives include the following asset types: client backlog and relationships, broker dealer license and non-competition and non-solicitation agreements. |
(e) | Reflects an adjustment to eliminate a minority interest of 19% in Protegos asset management subsidiary that Evercore acquired as part of the Protego acquisition. |
(f) | For tax purposes, no tax benefit will be realized related to the intangible assets acquired by Evercore LP in conjunction with the Protego acquisition. However, a tax benefit was realized by Evercore Partners Inc. upon consummation of the initial public offering. See Note (j) under Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Statements of Income. |
(g) | Historically the entities that form Evercore have been limited liability companies, partnerships or sub-chapter S entities. Accordingly, payments for services rendered by Evercores Senior Managing Directors generally have been accounted for as distributions of members capital rather than as compensation expense. Following the initial public offering, management is including all payments for services rendered by Evercores Senior Managing Directors in compensation and benefits expense. Evercores policy is to set our total compensation and benefits expense at a level not to exceed 50% of Evercores total revenue each year (excluding, for purposes of this calculation, any revenue or compensation and benefits expense relating to gains (or losses) on investments or carried interest and expense reimbursements), and management is accruing compensation and benefits expense equal to 50% of our total revenue following the initial public offering. However, management may record compensation and benefits expense in excess of this percentage to the extent that such expense is incurred due to a significant expansion of Evercores business or to any vesting of the partnership units held by Evercores Senior Managing Directors or restricted stock units received by Evercores non-Senior Managing Director employees at the time of the initial public offering. Management may change this policy in the future. An adjustment has been made to Evercore Partners Inc. to reflect total compensation and benefits expense as 50% of total revenue. For the nine months and the three months period ended September 30, 2006 the Company recorded $4,300 in compensation expense associated with the initial vesting of restricted stock units awarded to non partner professionals at the time of the initial public offering. These expenses have been excluded from the Unaudited Consolidated Combined Pro Forma Statement of Income as the charge is a non-recurring charge attributable to the Initial Public Offering. |

(h) | Reflects non-recurring expenses associated with initial public offering and related reorganization transactions. |
(i) | Reflects an adjustment to record the 74.5% minority interest ownership of Evercores Senior Managing Directors in Evercore LP relating to their vested partnership units, reflecting 4,587,738 shares of Class A common stock outstanding at September 30, 2006. Partnership units of Evercore LP are, subject to certain limitations, exchangeable into shares of Class A common stock of Evercore Partners Inc. on a one-for-one basis. Evercore Partners Inc.s interest in Evercore LP is within the scope of EITF 04-5. Although Evercore Partners Inc. has a minority economic interest in Evercore LP, it will have a majority voting interest and control the management of Evercore LP. Additionally, although the limited partners have an economic majority of Evercore LP, they do not have the right to dissolve the partnership or substantive kick-out rights or participating rights, and therefore lack the ability to control Evercore LP. Accordingly, Evercore consolidates Evercore LP and record minority interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held directly by the Senior Managing Directors. |
(j) | As a limited liability company, partnership or sub-chapter S entity, Evercore was generally not subject to income taxes except in foreign and local jurisdictions. An adjustment has been made to increase Evercores effective tax rate to approximately 45% for both 2006 and 2005, which assumes that Evercore Partners Inc. is taxed as a C corporation at the highest statutory rates apportioned to each state, local and/or foreign tax jurisdiction and is reflected net of U.S. federal tax benefit. There is no current foreign tax increase or benefits assumed with the Protego acquisition as it relates to the effective tax rate. However, Evercore Partners Inc. will realize deferred tax increases or benefits upon the Protego acquisition as it relates to the tax amortization of intangibles and goodwill over a 15 year straight-line basis. The holders of partnership units in Evercore LP, including Evercore Partners Inc., will incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their proportionate share of any net taxable income of Evercore LP. In accordance with the partnership agreement pursuant to which Evercore LP is governed, management intend to cause Evercore LP to make pro rata cash distributions to Evercores Senior Managing Directors and Evercore Partners Inc. for purposes of funding their tax obligations in respect of the income of Evercore LP that is allocated to them. The following table reflects the adjustment to arrive at total income subject to tax for Evercore Partners Inc.: |

(1) | 13,433,265 vested Evercore LP partnership units are not included in the calculation of Weighted Average Shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as they are antidilutive. |
Of the 23,141,593 Evercore LP partnership units that are held by parties other than Evercore Partners Inc. immediately following the initial public offering, 13,433,265 are fully vested and 9,708,328 are unvested. Management has concluded that at the current time it is not probable that the conditions relating to the vesting of these unvested partnership units will be achieved or satisfied and, accordingly, these unvested partnership units are not reflected as outstanding for purposes of calculating the minority interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held by the limited partners. Any vesting of these unvested partnership units would significantly increase minority interest and reduce Evercores net income and net income per share.

The vested Evercore LP partnership units that could potentially dilute basic net income per share were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented. The increase in net income available to holders of shares of Class A common stock due to the elimination of the minority interest associated with vested Evercore LP partnership units (offset by the associated tax effect) that is implied in calculating diluted net income per share assuming the exchange of Evercore LP partnership units for shares of Class A common stock is antidilutive notwithstanding the corresponding increase in weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. Management does not expect dilution to result from the exchange of Evercore LP partnership units for shares of Class A common stock.
The shares of Class B common stock have no right to receive dividends or a distribution on liquidation or winding up of Evercore Partners Inc. The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of Evercore Partners Inc. and no earnings are allocable to such class. Accordingly, pro forma basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.

Adjusted Pro Forma Results and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income per Common Stock Equivalents
The adjusted pro forma results reflect the following adjustments to pro forma results as shown in the table below:
Exclusion of financing costs for the line of credit. The line of credit was used for additional working capital. The line of credit was repaid out of a portion of the proceeds of the IPO and terminated concurrently with the IPO. Management believes that since the IPO it will rely on other sources of funding to fund working capital and thus excluding financing costs associated with the line of credit facilitates a meaningful comparison of its non-compensation expenses prior and subsequent to the IPO.
Exclusion of amortization of intangible assets acquired with Protego. The Protego acquisition was undertaken in contemplation of the IPO and substantially all of these charges were recognized by September 30, 2006. Management believes that because these charges are not reflective of ongoing operations, exclusion of these charges enhances understanding of the Companys operating performance.
Tax effect of prior adjustments. Prior to the IPO, Evercore was a collection of a limited liability companies, partnership and sub-chapter S entities which are not subject to federal income taxes. As a result of the IPO, the operating business entities of Evercore were restructured and a portion of its income will be subject to US federal income taxes. Thus the prior three adjustments also need to be tax effected.
Vesting of unvested equity. Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the vesting of previously issued but unvested equity, and thus the adjusted pro forma results reflect the vesting of the unvested Evercore LP partnership units and restricted stock units. However, management has concluded that at the current time it is not probable that the conditions relating to the vesting of unvested partnership units or restricted stock units will be achieved or satisfied.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Adjusted Pro Forma Statements of Income:
(a) | Adjustment for financing costs used for additional working capital. The line of credit was repaid out of a portion of the proceeds received from the IPO. |
(b) | Reflects expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Protego acquisition. |
(c) | Reflects adjustment to eliminate minority interest as all common stock equivalents are assumed to be converted to Class A Common Stock. |
(d) | As a limited liability company, partnership or sub-chapter S entity, Evercore was generally not subject to income taxes except in foreign and local jurisdictions. An adjustment has been made to increase Evercores effective tax rate to approximately 45% for both 2006 and 2005, for the adjustments previously disclosed in Notes (a), (b), and (c) above, which assumes that Evercore Partners Inc. is taxed as a C corporation at the statutory rates apportioned to each state, local and/or foreign tax jurisdiction and is reflected net of U.S. federal tax benefit. |
(e) | Represents the vesting of unvested but outstanding common stock equivalents, which are assumed to vest and convert to Class A Common Stock for the purposes of these adjusted pro forma results. Currently Evercore has excluded such unvested common stock equivalents for the computation of earnings per share. |
