U.S. GAAP Results:

The following is a discussion of Evercore's results on a U.S. GAAP basis.



	U.S. GAAP

Operating Margin	12.5		%	28.7		%	17.9		%					20.8		%	12.9		%

Net Revenues were $370.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, an increase of 6% compared to $350.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Net Revenues were $757.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of 25% compared to $608.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The 26% Operating Income decline in the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was driven, in part, by Special Charges of $21.5 million recognized in the Investment Banking and Investment Management segments. Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $18.2 million, down 25% compared to $24.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Earnings Per Share was $0.41 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, down 25% in comparison to the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $99.0 million, up 237% compared to $29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Earnings Per Share was $2.18 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, up 230% in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The trailing twelve-month compensation ratio of 59.3% compares to 64.4% for the same period in 2016. The compensation ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 58.4%, compared to 66.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The compensation ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was 63.9%, compared to 63.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The compensation ratios for 2017 were impacted by our review of the outlook for the Evercore ISI business during the first quarter. See the Business Line Reporting - Discussion of U.S. GAAP Results below.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Evercore's effective tax rate was 46.5% and 25.3%, respectively, compared to 47.7% and 49.5%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the application of a new accounting standard, effective January 1, 2017, related to share-based compensation, which requires that the tax deduction associated with the appreciation in the Firm's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price be reflected in income tax expense. The effective tax rate is also impacted by the non-deductible treatment of compensation associated with Evercore LP Units/Interests.

Adjusted Results:

The following is a discussion of Evercore's results on an Adjusted basis. See pages 4 and 5 and A-2 to A-14 for further information and reconciliations of these non-GAAP metrics to our U.S. GAAP results.

Operating Margin	24.7		%	25.1		%	26.1		%					24.9		%	24.1		%

Adjusted Net Revenues were $372.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, an increase of 7% compared to $348.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Adjusted Net Revenues were $757.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of 25% compared to $605.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. was $53.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, increasing modestly in comparison to the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Adjusted Earnings Per Share was $1.06 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, up 2% in comparison to the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. was $137.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, up 59% compared to $86.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Earnings Per Share was $2.68 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, up 60% in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Adjusted compensation ratio reflects the cost associated with compensation awarded to employees based on their performance consistent with market rates, and the cost associated with the addition of senior professionals. These new hire costs reflect both the number and seniority of the personnel we recruit and have the potential to change the compensation ratio in any period. The Adjusted compensation ratio for the trailing twelve months was 58.0%, compared to 57.9% for the same period in 2016. The Adjusted compensation ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 59.0%, compared to 57.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Adjusted compensation ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was 59.0%, compared to 57.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Evercore's Adjusted effective tax rate was 37.9% and 24.1%, respectively, compared to 37.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in the Adjusted effective tax rate for the six month period was primarily driven by the application of a new accounting standard, effective January 1, 2017, related to share-based compensation, which requires that the tax deduction associated with the appreciation in the Firm's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price be reflected in income tax expense. Changes in the Adjusted effective tax rate are also driven by the level of earnings in businesses with minority owners.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. and Adjusted Earnings Per Share for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $111.9 million and $2.19, respectively, excluding the effects of the change in accounting for income taxes, up 30% and 31%, respectively, versus the six months ended June 30, 2016.

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 the sustained momentum of our business, as we reported record revenues for a second quarter and our eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in Adjusted net income and earnings per share. Our Advisory business continues to drive our results as we advise on M&A, restructuring and capital markets transactions, both large and small, across multiple sectors and geographies. Our broad capabilities, including advice on activist matters and capital raising in the equity, debt and private capital markets, continue to differentiate us from our competitors and contribute to our growth. Our strong financial performance has enabled us to return $264.9 million of capital to shareholders in the first half of the year," said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We recently initiated changes which we believe will help Evercore be better positioned for the future. Most notably, in July, in our Equities business we exchanged the remaining long term performance based consideration associated with the ISI acquisition for units representing a fixed, rather than variable, number of shares. We are well positioned as a leading high quality independent research institution, and the current environment offers select opportunities to strategically add talent to this business. Fixing the number of shares issued fully aligns the objectives of all parties going forward. Additionally, in Investment Management we announced the sale of our Institutional Trust and Independent Fiduciary business, moving to eliminate the potential conflicts that arise between this successful operation and our Advisory business."

"We continued to strategically invest in talent, announcing three additional Senior Managing Directors to our team, increasing the number of announced new SMD hires to six for the year," said John S. Weinberg, Executive Chairman. "We are engaged in active discussions with high quality candidates and will continue to add talent when we find outstanding individuals."

"The fundamentals of a healthy M&A environment remain in place, including low interest rates, abundant credit availability, reasonable business confidence and relatively high equity valuations," said Roger C. Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman. "In particular, the volume of transactions less than $5 billion, which constitute the vast majority of transactions, continues to grow. Moreover, Evercore's market share of Advisory revenues of publicly reported investment banks has risen again this year."

Non-GAAP Measures:

Throughout this release certain information is presented on an Adjusted basis, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted 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 certain unvested Evercore LP Units and Interests into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted 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.

Evercore's Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the exclusion of expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with certain of the Company's acquisitions, and certain other business acquisition-related charges and Special Charges.

Acquisition-related compensation charges for 2017 include expenses and the reversal of expenses associated with performance-based awards granted in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of ISI. The amount of expense or the reversal of expense for the Class G and H LP Interests is based on the determination if it is probable that Evercore ISI will achieve certain earnings and margin targets in future periods. Acquisition-related charges for 2017 also include professional fees incurred and amortization of intangible assets. Special Charges for 2017 relate to a charge for the impairment of goodwill in the Institutional Asset Management reporting unit and a charge for the impairment of our investment in G5 | Evercore during the second quarter.

In addition, for Adjusted purposes, client related expenses have been presented as a reduction from Revenues and Non-compensation costs.

Evercore's Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the inclusion of Evercore LP Units, as well as the assumed vesting of certain Evercore LP Units/Interests and unvested restricted stock units granted to ISI employees.

This release also presents changes in Adjusted Net Revenues, Adjusted Investment Management Revenues and Adjusted Investment Management Expenses from the prior-year periods assuming that the restructuring of certain Investment Management affiliates occurred on December 31, 2015. This includes the transfer of ownership of the Mexican Private Equity Business that occurred on September 30, 2016. Evercore believes this is useful additional information for investors because it improves the comparability of period-over-period results and aligns with management's view of business performance.

Further details of these adjustments, as well as an explanation of similar amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2017, are included in Annex I, pages A-2 to A-14.

During the second quarter, Investment Banking earned advisory fees from 192 client transactions (vs. 201 in Q2 2016) and fees in excess of $1 million from 61 client transactions (vs. 58 in Q2 2016). For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Investment Banking earned advisory fees from 296 client transactions (vs. 296 last year) and fees in excess of $1 million from 114 client transactions (vs. 99 last year).

and Related Fees of $103.2 million decreased 10% from last year on lower trading volume. Underwriting Fees of $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased 16% from last year.

Expenses

Compensation costs were $227.5 million for the second quarter, an increase of 9% from the second quarter of last year. The trailing twelve-month compensation ratio was 59.5%, down from 65.0% for the same period in 2016. Evercore's Investment Banking compensation ratio was 63.8% for the second quarter, up versus the compensation ratio reported for the second quarter of last year of 63.7%. Year-to-date compensation costs were $423.7 million, an increase of 12% from last year.

Compensation costs include $5.7 million and $10.4 million of expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, related to the Class E LP Units and $11.3 million and ($14.9) million of expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, related to the Class G and H LP Interests issued in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI. The Company incurred an expense reversal in the first quarter of 2017 following a review of the outlook for the Evercore ISI business where the Company concluded that it would be appropriate to lower the level of earnings and margins that it considers probable of achievement for future periods. Compensation costs included $20.6 million and $52.3 million of expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, related to the Class E, G and H LP Units/Interests issued in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI based on the probability assumptions in place at that time.

The life to date expense accrued related to unvested Class H LP Interests as of June 30, 2017 was $67.6 million, which would be reversed if the actual performance fell below, or is deemed probable of falling below, the minimum thresholds prior to vesting. Conversely, assuming the maximum thresholds for the Class G and H LP Interests were considered probable of achievement at June 30, 2017, an additional $86.9 million of expense would have been incurred in the second quarter of 2017 and the remaining expense to be accrued over the future vesting period extending from July 1, 2017 to February 15, 2020 would be $78.5 million. In that circumstance, the total number of Class G and H LP Interests that would vest and become exchangeable to Class E LP Units would be 4.5 million.

As discussed in "Capital Transactions" below, in July 2017, the Board of Directors approved the exchange of all of the outstanding Class H LP Interests into 1.9 million Class J LP Units, which will continue to vest based on the completion of service through February 15, 2020. This modification did not result in any further expense and the remaining expense of approximately $36 million will be recorded ratably from the date of modification to the final vesting date.

Non-compensation costs for the second quarter were $61.7 million, flat compared to the second quarter of last year. The ratio of non-compensation costs to net revenue for the second quarter was 17.3%, compared to 18.7% for the second quarter of last year. Year-to-date non-compensation costs were $128.2 million, up 8% from last year. The ratio of non-compensation costs to net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 17.6%, compared to 21.0% last year.

Special Charges reflect an impairment charge of $14.4 million incurred in the second quarter of 2017 related to the Company's equity method investment in G5 | Evercore, resulting from the sustained negative economic and political climate in Brazil.

On September 30, 2016, the Company completed the transfer of ownership and control of the Mexican Private Equity Business to a newly formed entity, Glisco Partners Inc., which is controlled by the principals of the business.

Investment Advisory and Management Fees of $15.5 million for the second quarter decreased 5% compared to the second quarter of last year, driven primarily by a lack of fees in Private Equity during the second quarter of 2017, partially offset by higher fees in Wealth Management in the second quarter of 2017.

Realized and Unrealized Losses of ($1.6) million in the second quarter decreased relative to the second quarter of last year, driven principally by losses related to the wind-down of a Private Equity fund in Mexico.

Expenses

Investment Management's second quarter expenses were $20.6 million, an increase of 16% compared to the second quarter of last year. Year-to-date Investment Management expenses were $33.9 million, up 6% from last year.

Special Charges reflect an impairment charge of $7.1 million incurred in the second quarter of 2017 related to goodwill in the Company's Institutional Asset Management reporting unit where the fair value has been reduced relative to the remaining goodwill as a result of the pending sale of the Institutional Trust and Independent Fiduciary business of Evercore Trust Company.

Balance Sheet

The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, holding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $469.6 million at June 30, 2017.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 the Company repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares/units at an average price per share/unit of $72.99. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company repurchased a total of 3.1 million shares/units at an average price per share/unit of $74.76.

Further, in July 2017, the Board of Directors approved the exchange of all of the outstanding Class H LP Interests into 1.9 million Class J LP Units, reducing the aggregate number of units to 5.3 million. The new units contain the same service vesting terms as the Class H LP Interests and are not entitled to distributions. The Class J LP Units do not have performance thresholds and the holders will be issued one share each of Class B common stock of Evercore Partners Inc., which will entitle them to one vote on all matters submitted generally to holders of Class A and Class B common stock for each Class E LP Unit and Class J LP Unit held.

The total shares available to be granted in the future under the Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Partners Inc. Stock Incentive Plan was approximately 7.4 million as of June 30, 2017.

Adjusted Results

Throughout the discussion of Evercore's business segments, information is presented on an Adjusted basis (formerly called "Adjusted Pro Forma"), which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measure. Adjusted 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 certain unvested Evercore LP Units and Interests, as well as Acquisition Related Share Issuances and Unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to Lexicon and ISI employees, into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted 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 amounts are allocated to the Company's two business segments: Investment Banking and Investment Management. The differences between the Adjusted 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 vesting of Class E LP Units issued in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI, as well as Class G and H LP Interests. The amount of expense or the reversal of expense for the Class G and H LP Interests is based on the determination if it is probable that Evercore ISI will achieve certain earnings and margin targets in 2017 and in future periods. The Adjusted results assume these LP Units and certain Class G and H LP Interests have vested and have been exchanged for Class A shares. Accordingly, any expense or reversal of expense associated with these units and interests, and related awards, is excluded from the Adjusted results, and the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to a 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 equity interests, and thus the Adjusted results reflect the exchange of certain vested and unvested Evercore LP partnership units and interests and IPO related restricted stock unit awards into Class A shares.


2.	Adjustments Associated with Business Combinations. The following charges resulting from business combinations have been excluded from the Adjusted 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 and Other Purchase Accounting-related Amortization. Amortization of intangible assets and other purchase accounting-related amortization from the acquisitions of ISI, SFS and certain other acquisitions.


b.	Acquisition and Transition Costs. Primarily professional fees incurred, as well as the reversal of a provision for certain settlements in 2016 and costs related to transitioning acquisitions or divestitures.


c.	Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. The expense associated with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration issued to the sellers of certain of the Company's acquisitions is excluded from the Adjusted results.


d.	Gain on Transfer of Ownership of Mexican Private Equity Business. The gain resulting from the transfer of ownership of the Mexican Private Equity business in the third quarter of 2016 is excluded from the Adjusted Results.


3.	Client Related Expenses. Client related expenses and provisions for uncollected receivables have been classified as a reduction of revenue in the Adjusted presentation. The Company's Management

A - 2

believes that this adjustment results in more meaningful key operating ratios, such as compensation to net revenues and operating margin.


4.	Special Charges. Expenses during 2017 relate to a charge for the impairment of goodwill in the Institutional Asset Management reporting unit and a charge for the impairment of our investment in G5 \| Evercore in the second quarter.

Income Taxes. Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, C-Corporations 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 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 and that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within the structure on a consolidated basis. This assumption is consistent with the assumption that certain Evercore LP Units and interests 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 presentation can reflect the netting of changes in the Company's Tax Receivable Agreement against Income Tax Expense.

6. Presentation of Interest Expense. The Adjusted 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 Investment Banking and Investment Management Operating Income are presented before interest expense on debt, which is included in interest expense on a U.S. GAAP basis.

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

A - 13


(6a)	The exclusion from the Adjusted presentation of expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets and other purchase accounting-related amortization from the acquisitions of ISI, SFS and certain other acquisitions.


(6b)	Primarily professional fees incurred, as well as the reversal of a provision for certain settlements in 2016 and costs related to transitioning acquisitions or divestitures.


(6c)	The expense associated with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration issued to the sellers of certain of the Company's acquisitions is excluded from the Adjusted results.

(7)

Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, C-Corporations 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 and that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within the structure on a consolidated basis. In addition, the Adjusted presentation can reflect the netting of changes in the Company's Tax Receivable Agreement against Income Tax Expense.


(8)	Reflects an 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 presentation.


(9)	Assumes the vesting, and exchange into Class A shares, of certain Evercore LP partnership units and interests and IPO related restricted stock unit awards in the Adjusted presentation. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP net income per share, the Evercore LP partnership units are anti-dilutive.


(10)	The gain resulting from the transfer of ownership of the Mexican Private Equity business in the third quarter of 2016 is excluded from the Adjusted presentation.

(11)

Assumes the transfer of ownership of the Mexican Private Equity business had occurred as of the beginning of the prior period presented and reflects adjustments to eliminate the management fees and expenses that were previously recorded from the Mexican Private Equity business and the addition of income from the Mexican Private Equity business if its results were based on the percentage of the management fees that the Company is currently entitled to. Management believes this adjustment is useful to investors to compare Evercore's results across periods.


(12)	Reflects the impact of the application of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which requires that excess tax benefits and deficiencies from the delivery of Class A common stock under share-based payment arrangements be recognized in the Company’s Provision for Income Taxes rather than in Additional Paid-In-Capital under prior U.S. GAAP.
