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.

“Our third quarter clearly demonstrates the potential of the Evercore franchise. We delivered record quarterly revenues and earnings for the second consecutive quarter, while continuing to invest in our core business. We closed on our acquisition of Lexicon Partners on August 19 and have substantially completed the operational integration of that business. While the market environment is clearly challenging, our team continues to work actively with clients to find the opportunities that these markets inevitably create,” said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Operationally we remain focused on our core priorities: serving our clients with excellence and integrity, adding exceptional talent to our team, and making continued progress improving the financial performance of our early stage businesses.”

“This was a dynamic quarter for Evercore’s investment banking business. Our client base expanded again; we added key new banking personnel; and we again advised on the largest transactions. And, the Evercore brand has never been stronger,” said Roger Altman, Executive Chairman. “I am especially happy with the build-out and success of our energy banking platform in Houston. Advising on both the Kinder Morgan and Southern Union announced mergers was remarkable.”

Throughout the discussion of Evercore’s business segments, information is presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, which is an unaudited non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measure. Adjusted Pro Forma results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of vested and unvested Evercore LP Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore’s results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore’s operating results. Evercore uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information about the Adjusted Pro Forma basis of reporting used by management to evaluate the performance of Evercore and each line of business, including reconciliations of U.S. GAAP results to an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, see pages A-2 through A-10 included in Annex I. These Adjusted Pro Forma amounts are allocated to the Company’s two business segments: Investment Banking and Investment Management.

Revenues

Investment Banking revenues were a record and increased 39% in comparison with the prior year’s quarter and 23% in comparison with the prior quarter. Investment Banking earned advisory fees from 112 clients in the third quarter compared to 85 in Q3 2010, and fees in excess of $1 million from 26 clients during Q3 2011, compared to 15 in Q3 2010. During the quarter we advised on several of the most prominent announced strategic transactions including Kraft Foods’ spinoff of its North American grocery business, McGraw-Hill on its planned separation into Global Markets and Education businesses, SPX on its acquisition of Clyde Union and the Bureau of National Affairs’ sale to Bloomberg, and completed two underwriting assignments in the United States. The Institutional Equities business continued to gain traction with institutional clients, both in terms of research coverage and fee-paying clients and the Private Funds Group closed capital raises for three clients during the quarter.

Expenses

Compensation costs for the Investment Banking segment for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $85.9 million, an increase of 41% and 28% from Q3 2010 and Q2 2011, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, Evercore’s Investment Banking compensation ratio was 62%, versus the compensation ratio reported for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011 of 61% and 60%, respectively. The trailing twelve-month compensation ratio was 61%, up from 58% in Q3 2010 and equal to 61% in Q2 2011.

Non-compensation costs for the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $21.3 million increased from the same period last year and in comparison to last quarter. The ratio of non-compensation costs to revenue for both the quarter and year-to-date periods were 15% and 16%, respectively. The increase in costs was attributable to the inclusion of Lexicon in our consolidated results, the addition of experienced personnel and higher occupancy and travel costs reflecting our growth.

Operating margins were 22% and 23% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011.

New Business Update

The Institutional Equities business is now composed of 66 professionals. The Research team has expanded the number of companies under coverage to 200 and the sales force has now opened accounts with 209 clients. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 the business generated $4.4 million in revenues, as secondary revenues increased 27% from the second quarter and capital markets revenues were $0.5 million, a decline of 79% from the second quarter. Expenses were $9.3 million for the quarter, an increase of 19% in comparison to the prior quarter, driven by the addition of five professionals.

Investment Management

The Investment Management segment reported Operating Income of $1.6 million in the third quarter, up significantly from last year’s quarter due primarily to an increase in realized and unrealized gains from the private equity portfolio. Assets Under Management (AUM) decreased 19% from Q2 2011 to $13.6 billion on net outflows of $1.2 billion and $2.0 billion of market depreciation.

    (1) Management fees from Institutional Asset Management were $16.9 million, $18.4 million and $54.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011 and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, on a U.S. GAAP basis, excluding the reduction of revenues for client-related expenses.


(2) Equity in Pan and G5 on a U.S. GAAP basis are reclassified from Investment Management Revenue to Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investments.

 

Fees earned from the management of client portfolios and other investment advisory services of $22.4 million increased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, as growth in AUM within Wealth Management was offset by lower management fees from Private Equity. Management fees earned in the third quarter declined in comparison to the fees earned in the second quarter of 2011 reflecting the decline in AUM reported at the end of the second quarter.

Expenses

Third quarter expenses declined modestly in comparison to last quarter. Non-compensation costs included $1.6 million related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Recent Developments

After careful consideration EAM, a 51% owned institutional asset manager, has decided to wind down its business. Over the coming three months the EAM team will be working closely with clients to assure that all assets are returned in an efficient and professional manner. At September 30, 2011 EAM managed approximately $430 million of assets for its clients.

The Company continues to evaluate new investment opportunities and invest in the growth of its Investment Management affiliates, including the recently announced launch of a Midwest office for Evercore Wealth Management.

Other U.S. GAAP Expenses

Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the exclusion of expenses associated with IPO equity awards and awards granted in conjunction with the Lexicon acquisition; certain business acquisition related costs, including certain Lexicon costs that are included for U.S. GAAP purposes because such costs were contingent upon the closing of the acquisition; and charges associated with the decision to wind down EAM. In addition, for Adjusted Pro Forma purposes, client related expenses and expenses associated with revenue-sharing engagements with third parties have been presented as a reduction from Revenues and Non-compensation costs. Further details of these expenses, as well as an explanation of similar expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the three months ended June 30, 2011, are included in Annex I, pages A-2 to A-10.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests in certain subsidiaries are owned by the principals and strategic investors in these businesses. Evercore’s equity ownership percentages in these businesses range from 51% to 86%. For the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and June 30, 2011 the gain (loss) allocated to noncontrolling interests was as follows:

Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma effective tax rate was approximately 40%, compared to 42% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, Evercore’s U.S. GAAP effective tax rate was approximately 89% and 60%, respectively, compared to 49% and 46% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, 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 noncontrolling interest associated with Evercore LP Units.

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 better reflect management’s view of operating results. 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, Evercore’s operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward-looking statements and are based on various underlying assumptions and expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in Evercore’s business.

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, and other IPO related restricted stock unit 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 and related awards is excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results and the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. The Company’s Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed conversion of these previously granted but unvested equity, and thus the Adjusted Pro Forma results reflect the vesting of all unvested Evercore LP partnership units and IPO related restricted stock unit awards.

 
2.

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

 
3.

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

 

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

 

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

 

c. Special Charges. Expenses related to the charge associated with lease commitments for exited office space in conjunction with the acquisition of Lexicon as well as for an introducing fee in connection with the Lexicon acquisition. The Company has also reflected the write-off of intangible assets associated with its planned exit of Evercore Asset Management.

 
4.

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

 
5.

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

 
6.

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

 
7.

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

(5) The Company incurred expenses from the vesting of IPO related restricted stock unit awards relating to the June 2011 offering.

(8a)   Reflects expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Protego, Braveheart, SFS, EAM and Lexicon acquisitions.
(9) Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, a C-Corporation and a Public Corporation and therefore, not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate level taxes. As a result, adjustments have been made to decrease Evercore’s effective tax rate to approximately 40% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. These adjustments assume that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C-Corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates, that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within the structure on a consolidated basis and that, historically, adjustments for deferred tax assets related to the ultimate tax deductions for equity-based compensation awards are made directly to stockholders’ equity.
(10) Reflects adjustment to eliminate noncontrolling interest related to all Evercore LP partnership units which are assumed to be converted to Class A common stock.
(11) Assumes the vesting of all Evercore LP partnership units and IPO related restricted stock unit awards. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP net income per share, the unvested Evercore LP partnership units are anti-dilutive and the IPO related restricted stock unit awards are excluded from the calculation prior to the June 2011 offering.
