U.S. GAAP Net Revenues were $87.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to U.S. GAAP Net Revenues of $49.7 million and $109.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2009, respectively. U.S. GAAP Net Income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. was $2.0 million, or $0.09 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to U.S. GAAP Net Income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and $1.6 million, or $0.07 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

The Adjusted Pro Forma compensation ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 59%, compared to 71% for the same period in 2009 and 58% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The Adjusted Pro Forma Q1 2010 compensation ratio on a trailing twelve month basis of 62% improved from Q4 2009 of 64% and Q1 2009 of 75%. Adjusted Pro Forma operating margins were 22% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 8% from the same period in 2009 and 28% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The U.S. GAAP compensation ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and December 31, 2009 were 63%, 72% and 62%, respectively. The U.S. GAAP operating margins for the three months ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and December 31, 2009 were 12%, 3%, and 17%, respectively.

Evercore’s quarterly results may fluctuate significantly due to the timing and amount of transaction and performance 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 made more progress this quarter achieving our strategic objectives,” said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our investments in Atalanta Sosnoff and Trilantic diversify and bring scale to our Investment Management business and are financially accretive. We also continued to broaden our Investment Banking capabilities adding Advisory coverage in two important industry sectors, strengthening Advisory in Mexico and acquiring a private fund placement team to compliment our Advisory Funds Sponsor group. We accomplished this while making steady progress improving our operating margins and compensation ratios.”

“Evercore’s first quarter results reflect the expanding breadth and depth of the firm. We completed our first underwriting assignment and advised M&A and restructuring clients in the U.S. and around the globe, including China and Europe,” said Roger Altman, Executive Chairman. “The business environment continues to improve at a measured pace with activity levels in M&A increasing and restructuring opportunities evolving from the crisis driven challenges of 2009. All of this translates into a solid start for the year.”

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 and is unaudited. 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

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.

Business Line Reporting

A discussion of Adjusted Pro Forma revenues and expenses 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.

Investment Banking

As Evercore’s platform has broadened, the Advisory business has expanded to include capital markets advisory and underwriting capabilities and private fund placement services and will include institutional equities research and sales in the future. As a result of this growth and development, the results are now reported as the Investment Banking segment.

Evercore’s Investment Banking business produced strong results this quarter, with significant contributions from both M&A advisory and restructuring assignments. Q1 2010 results, while down from the previous quarter, were up significantly from the same period last year. Investment Banking reported a 30% operating margin, which is down from 36% in Q4 2009 and up from 25% in Q1 2009. The lower margins relative to the previous quarter result from investments made in new businesses and from somewhat lower revenues.

Revenues

Investment Banking reported first quarter 2010 net revenues of $72.9 million, an increase of 50% from the prior year but down 27% from the record levels in Q4 2009. The increase from Q1 2009 reflects continued contribution from several prominent restructuring assignments including CIT and MGM, among others, and strategic M&A advisory assignments with Affiliated Computer Systems, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Optonol and EADS/Airbus, among others. The Company earned M&A, restructuring and capital markets advisory fees in excess of $1 million from 14 clients during the first quarter of 2010, and completed its first underwriting assignment as co-manager for the Safe Bulkers offering in March. The number of fee paying clients for the first quarter of 2010 grew to 70 compared to 69 for the same period in 2009 but decreased from the record levels last quarter.

Evercore has continued to strengthen its Investment Banking business adding high quality partners, expanding its footprint and industry coverage. Since the beginning of the year, four new Senior Managing Directors have joined, including Martin J. Cicco, head of Real Estate, Perk Hixon, head of Mining, Metals and Materials, Richard Anthony, head of Evercore Private Funds Group, and Alejandro Reynoso, a senior banker in Mexico.

During the quarter, the Institutional Equities business has been focused on adding talent, obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and building infrastructure. In addition to Charles Myers, who the Firm previously announced, Evercore has recruited senior specialist sales professionals covering Financial Institutions and Technology Media and Telecommunications and is in active discussions with highly ranked analysts in those sectors. Evercore is continuing to build out this business and is on track, pending receipt of the necessary licenses, to officially launch the business in the middle of this year.

Expenses

Q1 2010 expenses increased from the same period last year driven by higher revenues, expansion of the business and higher deal-related activity levels.

Compensation costs for the Investment Banking segment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $40.6 million, an increase of 39% from the prior year but down 24% from Q4 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, Evercore’s Investment Banking compensation ratio was 56%, versus the compensation ratio reported for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of 60% and 54% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Excluding stock compensation costs of $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 related to new Senior Managing Directors1, the ratio would have been 48%. The fluctuations in compensation costs reflect the revenue performance of the business and investments in new businesses.

Non-compensation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $10.7 million increased 47% from the same period last year and 2% from last quarter, driven by growth in the business, including a significant increase in personnel, increased business development costs and start-up costs associated with the Institutional Equities business.

This quarter’s expenses included $1.6 million for the Institutional Equities business relating to costs associated with new hires and non-compensation expenses predominantly attributed to the formation of the business, including those associated with applying for and obtaining necessary licenses.

Investment Management

In the first quarter, the Investment Management business took additional steps to expand its platform and further diversify its business with accretive acquisitions. The Firm announced an agreement to acquire a significant interest in Atalanta Sosnoff (which is expected to close in the second quarter), a long-only large-cap equity manager, and the acquisition of a minority interest in Trilantic Capital Partners (which closed in February), a prominent private equity firm focused on middle market investment in North America and Europe.

The revenues in the first quarter of 2010 for the Investment Management business were up significantly from the fourth quarter of 2009 and the prior year. Assets Under Management (AUM) increased to $5.0 billion, up 10% from the fourth quarter of 2009, reflecting inflows of approximately $0.3 billion and market appreciation of approximately $0.2 billion.

(2) Management fees from Private Equity were $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 excluding the reduction of revenues for reimbursable client-related expenses.

Fees earned from the management of client portfolios and other investment advisory services of $10.6 million increased significantly for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, reflecting the addition of new businesses and increased assets under management.

Expenses

The growth in expenses in the first quarter of 2010 was driven by costs associated with the start-up businesses added during 2009 and costs associated with acquisitions announced in 2010.

Non-controlling Interest

The senior management of Evercore’s Wealth Management and Institutional Asset Management businesses have direct ownership interest in these businesses, which are accounted for as a Non-controlling Interest. Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma Investment Management Operating Income (Loss), net of Non-controlling Interest, is as follows:

Other U.S. GAAP Expenses

Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the exclusion of expenses associated with IPO equity awards and the amortization of intangibles (which principally relate to Braveheart and Protego). In addition, for Adjusted Pro Forma purposes, reimbursable client-related expenses and expenses associated with revenue sharing engagements with third parties have been presented as a reduction from Revenues and the associated Non-compensation costs. Further details of these expenses, as well as an explanation of similar expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009, are included in Annex I, pages A-2 to A-11.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma effective tax rate was approximately 41% and 42%, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, Evercore’s U.S. GAAP effective tax rate was approximately 44% and 73%, respectively. The effective tax rate for U.S. GAAP purposes reflects significant adjustments relating to the tax treatment of certain compensation transactions, 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 $276.8 million at March 31, 2010. Current assets exceed current liabilities by $282.4 million at March 31, 2010. Amounts due related to the Long-Term Notes Payable were $97.0 million at March 31, 2010.

During the quarter the Company repurchased approximately 340,000 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the net settlement of stock-based compensation awards.

Basis of Alternative Financial Statement Presentation

Adjusted pro forma results are a non-GAAP measure.

These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP results to adjusted pro forma results is presented in the tables included in Annex I.

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 and is unaudited. 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, and other event-based awards, 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 in Employee Compensation and Benefits, resulting from the modification of Evercore LP Units, which will vest 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 is excluded from adjusted pro forma results and the non-controlling 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 event-based stock-based awards.

 

  2. 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. Acquisition and Transition Costs. The Company has reflected Acquisition and Transition Costs for expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2009 in connection with the acquisition of SFS and the formation of ETC. This charge reflects the change in accounting for deal-related costs required by SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, codified under ASC 805, which was effective January 1, 2009.

 

  b. Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets related to the Protego acquisition was undertaken in contemplation of the IPO. The Braveheart acquisition occurred on December 19, 2006. Also excluded is amortization of intangible assets associated with the recent acquisitions of SFS and EAM.

 

  3. Special Charges. The Company has reflected charges in conjunction with its decision to suspend capital raising for ECP and other ongoing strategic cost management initiatives, which it has excluded from adjusted pro forma results. These charges relate to the expense required to be recorded under U.S. GAAP for stock-based compensation awards that are voluntarily forfeited by employees who remain with the Company. During 2009 employees voluntarily forfeited 738,000 unvested restricted stock units and 250,000 partnership units. The Company’s Management believes that excluding the effects of these Special Charges improves the comparability of operating performance across periods.

 

  4. Client Expenses. The Company has reflected the reclassification of reimbursable expenses and expenses associated with revenue sharing engagements with third parties 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.

 

A - 2


  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 Advisory 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.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Adjusted Pro Forma Financial Data

 

(1) The Company has reflected the reclassification of reimbursable expenses and expenses associated with revenue sharing engagements with third parties as a reduction of revenue.

 

(2) Adjusted Pro Forma segment information classifies interest expense on short-term repurchase agreements within the Investment Management segment as Other Revenue, net, whereas U.S. GAAP results reflect this in Interest Expense. Interest Expense on Long-term Debt is excluded from the Investment Banking and Investment Management segment results and is included in Interest Expense on a U.S. GAAP Basis.

 

(3) The Company incurred expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 from the modification of Evercore LP Units, which will vest over a five-year period.

 

(4) Non-compensation Costs on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis reflect the following adjustments:

(4a) Reflects expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Protego, Braveheart, SFS and EAM acquisitions.

 

(4b) The Company has reflected Acquisition and Transition Costs for costs incurred during the first quarter of 2009 in connection with the acquisition of SFS and the formation of ETC. This charge reflects the change in accounting for deal-related costs required by SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, codified under ASC 805, which was effective January 1, 2009.

 

(5) The Company has reflected charges in conjunction with Evercore’s decision to suspend capital raising for ECP and other ongoing strategic cost management initiatives. The charges relate to the expense required to be recorded under U.S. GAAP for stock-based compensation awards that are voluntarily forfeited by employees who remain with the Company. During 2009 employees voluntarily forfeited 738,000 unvested restricted stock units and 250,000 Evercore LP partnership units.

 

(6) 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 increase Evercore’s effective tax rate to approximately 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. 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 adjustments for deferred tax assets related to the ultimate tax deductions for equity-based compensation awards are made directly to stockholders’ equity.

 

A - 10


(7) Reflects adjustment to eliminate non-controlling interest related to all Evercore LP partnership units which are assumed to be converted to Class A common stock.

 

(8) Assumes the vesting of all Evercore LP partnership units and restricted stock unit event-based awards and reflects on a weighted average basis, the dilution of unvested service-based 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 event-based restricted stock units are excluded from the calculation. A reconciliation from Adjusted Pro Forma to U.S. GAAP Diluted Shares Outstanding is as follows:
