GAAP net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. was $(190.6) million and $456.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, down from $89.9 million and $478.2 million in the comparable periods of 2014.

Total distributable earnings was $349.1 million and $1,357.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, down from $504.8 million and $1,652.6 million in the comparable periods of 2014.

Distribution per common unit was $0.35 and $1.23 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, down from $0.45 and $1.55 in the comparable periods of 2014.

Economic net income (loss) (“ENI”) was $(286.0) million and $1,153.3 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, down from $508.7 million and $1,640.6 million in the comparable periods of 2014.

ENI after taxes per adjusted unit was $(0.37) and $1.13 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, down from $0.50 and $1.81 in the comparable periods of 2014.

Book value was $10.2 billion on a total reportable segment basis as of September 30, 2015 or $12.01 per adjusted unit.

Return on equity and cash return on equity were 9.6% and 15.8%, respectively on a trailing twelve month basis.

Assets under management (“AUM”) and fee paying assets under management (“FPAUM”) totaled $98.7 billion and $82.9 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2015.

NEW YORK--()--KKR & Co. L.P. (NYSE:KKR) today reported its third quarter 2015 results.

KKR has adopted a repurchase program for up to $500 million in the aggregate of its outstanding common units. Under this program, units may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

In addition, KKR has amended its distribution policy effective beginning with the distribution anticipated to be declared in early 2016 with respect to the quarter ending December 31, 2015. Under the new distribution policy, KKR intends to make equal quarterly distributions to holders of its common units in an amount of $0.16 per common unit per quarter. The distribution declared for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was calculated under the prior distribution policy.

On September 9, 2015, KKR announced a long-term strategic partnership with Marshall Wace LLP and its affiliates. Under the terms of the agreement and subject to customary closing conditions, KKR will acquire at closing a 24.9% interest in Marshall Wace through a combination of cash and common units. In addition, KKR and Marshall Wace have the option to grow KKR’s ownership interest over time to 39.9%.

"Our announcements today, including the introductions of a fixed distribution per quarter and a share buyback program, reflect important changes to our capital management strategy,” said Henry R. Kravis and George R. Roberts, Co-Chairmen and Co-Chief Executive Officers of KKR. “Our strong balance sheet, with approximately $14 billion in assets, allows us to support a meaningful fixed quarterly distribution. We will use incremental retained capital to invest behind our ideas and buy back our units. Over time, we think the market will value what we do with our balance sheet, including repurchasing our own units, more than the variable distributions we have been paying. These changes, coupled with continued investment performance, will allow us to create significant long-term equity value for our unitholders.”

 
Note: Certain financial measures, including total distributable earnings, FRE, ENI, ENI after taxes, fee and yield earnings, book value, cash and short-term investments and adjusted units, are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See Exhibits B and C for a reconciliation of such measures to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 

GAAP RESULTS

GAAP net income (loss) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, included net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. of $(190.6) million and $456.2 million, respectively, and net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. per common unit of $(0.42) and $0.95, respectively, on a diluted basis. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. was $89.9 million and $478.2 million, respectively, and net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. per common unit was $0.20 and $1.21, respectively, on a diluted basis. The decrease in both comparable periods was primarily due to a decrease in investment income and to a lesser extent a decrease in transaction fees.

Private Markets

AUM was $60.8 billion as of September 30, 2015, a decrease of $2.3 billion, compared to AUM of $63.1 billion as of June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to distributions to limited partners of our private equity funds arising from realizations and to a lesser extent, a decline in the fair value of our private equity portfolio. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the fair value of our private equity portfolio decreased 1.4%. These decreases were offset by new capital raised primarily in European Fund IV and Global Infrastructure Investors II.

FPAUM was $46.2 billion as of September 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.6 billion, compared to FPAUM of $46.8 billion as of June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to distributions to limited partners of our private equity funds arising from realizations which were partially offset by new capital raised in European Fund IV and Global Infrastructure Investors II.

Total segment revenues were $(74.6) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $706.2 million, compared to total segment revenues of $631.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was principally attributable to net carried interest losses reflecting a decline in the value of our private equity portfolio and to a lesser extent, net investment losses reflecting overall decreases in the value of our energy and private equity portfolios.

Total segment revenues were $1,798.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $206.8 million, compared to total segment revenues of $2,005.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was largely attributable to (i) a lower level of net carried interest primarily reflecting a lower level of investment gains at carry earning funds during the current period and (ii) a lower level of investment income primarily relating to investment losses in our energy portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the fair value of our private equity portfolio increased 10.5%.

ENI was $(133.7) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $532.7 million, compared to ENI of $399.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower total segment revenues as described above partially offset by lower allocations to the carry pool resulting from the lower levels of net carried interest.

Public Markets

AUM was $37.9 billion as of September 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.5 billion, compared to AUM of $38.4 billion as of June 30, 2015. FPAUM was $36.7 billion as of September 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.3 billion, compared to FPAUM of $37.0 billion as of June 30, 2015. For both AUM and FPAUM, the decreases were primarily attributable to distributions and redemptions across multiple strategies, offset by new capital either raised or invested, primarily in Special Situations Fund II and our CLOs.

Total segment revenues were $(163.6) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $257.2 million, compared to total segment revenues of $93.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in revenues was principally attributable to (i) net investment losses in the third quarter of 2015 across multiple strategies, primarily in our Special Situations platform and our domestic CLOs, and (ii) net carried interest losses in the third quarter of 2015 primarily reflecting overall decreases in the value of our carry paying vehicles, the most significant of which was our Special Situations Fund.

Total segment revenues were $74.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $321.8 million, compared to total segment revenues of $396.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was principally attributable to (i) net investment losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due primarily to net unrealized losses in our CLOs and certain other Public Markets related investments and (ii) lower performance income for the period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net interest and dividends relating primarily to the yielding assets of KFN, which was acquired on April 30, 2014 but was not contributing to our investment income for the first four months of 2014.

ENI was $(183.3) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $231.4 million, compared to ENI of $48.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was principally attributable to the decrease in total segment revenues as described above.

ENI was $(43.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $295.4 million, compared to ENI of $251.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was principally attributable to the decrease in total segment revenues as described above.

Capital Markets

Total segment revenues were $46.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $47.0 million, compared to total segment revenues of $93.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in revenues primarily reflects a lower level of overall capital markets transaction activity for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Total segment revenues were $145.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $51.0 million, compared to total segment revenues of $196.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in revenues primarily reflects a lower level of overall capital markets transaction activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

ENI was $30.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $30.7 million, compared to ENI of $61.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The decrease primarily reflects the decrease in total segment revenues as described above.

ENI was $96.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $32.3 million, compared to ENI of $128.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease primarily reflects the decrease in total segment revenues as described above.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2015, KKR had $2.1 billion of cash and short-term investments and $3.0 billion of outstanding debt and preferred share obligations on a total reportable segment basis. This includes KFN’s debt obligations of $657.3 million and KFN’s 7.375% Series A LLC preferred shares of $373.8 million, which are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets of KFN. As of September 30, 2015, KKR had a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility, which was undrawn. In addition, KKR has a $500.0 million revolving credit facility for use in its capital markets business, which was undrawn as of September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2015, KKR’s portion of total uncalled commitments to its investment funds was $1.3 billion. See Exhibit A for details.

DISTRIBUTION

A distribution of $0.35 per common unit has been declared, comprised of (i) $0.08 per common unit from after-tax FRE, (ii) $0.19 per common unit from realized cash carry, (iii) $0.03 per common unit from KKR’s net realized investment income and (iv) $0.05 per common unit from KFN’s net realized investment income. The distribution will be paid on November 24, 2015 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on November 6, 2015. This distribution was calculated under KKR’s prior distribution policy.

The declaration and payment of any distributions including distributions made under KKR’s new policy are subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the general partner of KKR, and the terms of its limited partnership agreement.

    (a)   KKR Holdings L.P. units have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common unit since the exchange of these units would not dilute KKR’s respective ownership interests in the KKR Group Partnerships. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, unvested common units and other securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common unit because inclusion of such unvested common units and other securities would be anti-dilutive (decrease the loss per common unit).

KKR
Notes to Reportable Segments (Unaudited)

The segment key performance measures that follow are used by management in making operating and resource deployment decisions as well as assessing the overall performance of each of KKR’s reportable business segments. The reportable segments for KKR’s business are presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) between KKR & Co. L.P. and KKR Holdings L.P. and as such represent the business in total. In addition, KKR’s reportable segments are presented without giving effect to the consolidation of the funds that KKR manages.

KKR discloses the following financial measures in this earnings release that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our GAAP results is helpful to unitholders in assessing the overall performance of KKR’s businesses. These financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for similar financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution readers that these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculations of other investment managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included elsewhere within this earnings release.

Fee related earnings (“FRE”) is comprised of (i) total management, monitoring and transaction fees, net, plus incentive fees, less (ii) cash compensation and benefits, occupancy and related charges and other operating expenses. It is a measure of the operating earnings of KKR and its business segments before carried interest and related carry pool allocations and investment income and comprises a portion of KKR's quarterly distribution under its prior distribution policy. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the operating profitability of our fee generating management companies and capital markets businesses. The components of FRE on a segment basis differ from the equivalent GAAP amounts on a consolidated basis as a result of: (i) the inclusion of management fees earned from consolidated funds that were eliminated in consolidation; (ii) the exclusion of fees and expenses of certain consolidated entities; (iii) the exclusion of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets; (iv) the exclusion of charges relating to carry pool allocations; (v) the exclusion of non-cash equity-based charges and other non-cash compensation charges borne by KKR Holdings or incurred under the KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”); (vi) the exclusion of certain reimbursable expenses; and (vii) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items. After tax FRE represents FRE after deductions for current corporate and local income taxes and noncontrolling interests.

Economic net income (loss) (“ENI”) is a measure of profitability for KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management as an alternative measurement of the operating and investment earnings of KKR and its business segments. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the overall profitability of KKR’s businesses inclusive of carried interest and related carry pool allocations and investment income. ENI is comprised of total segment revenues less total segment expenses and certain economic interests in KKR’s segments held by third parties. ENI differs from net income (loss) on a GAAP basis as a result of: (i) the inclusion of management fees earned from consolidated funds that were eliminated in consolidation; (ii) the exclusion of fees and expenses of certain consolidated entities; (iii) the exclusion of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets; (iv) the exclusion of non-cash equity-based charges and other non-cash compensation charges borne by KKR Holdings or incurred under the Equity Incentive Plan and other securities that are exchangeable for common units of KKR & Co. L.P.; (v) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items; (vi) the exclusion of investment income (loss) relating to noncontrolling interests; and (vii) the exclusion of income taxes.

Fee and Yield Earnings is comprised of FRE and net interest and dividends from KKR’s business segments. This measure is used by management as a measure of the cash earnings of KKR and its business segments’ investment income. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides insight into the amount of KKR’s cash earnings, significant portions of which tend to be more recurring than realized carried interest and net realized gains from quarter to quarter.

Fee and Yield EBITDA is comprised of Fee and Yield Earnings before the impact of depreciation of fixed assets and core interest expense. This is used by management as another measure of the cash earnings of KKR and its business segments investment income. We believe this measure is also useful to unitholders as it provides insight into the amount of KKR’s cash earnings before the impact of interest expense, significant portions of which tend to be more recurring than realized carried interest and realized investment income from quarter to quarter.

Net realized investment income – KKR (ex-KFN) refers to net cash income from (i) realized investment gains and losses excluding certain realized investment losses to the extent unrealized losses on these investments were recognized prior to the combination with KPE on October 1, 2009, (ii) dividend income, and (iii) interest income net of interest expense in each case generated by KKR (excluding KFN). This term describes a portion of KKR’s quarterly distribution under KKR's prior distribution policy and excludes net realized investment income of KFN.

Net realized investment income – KFN refers to net cash income from (i) realized investment gains and losses, (ii) dividend income and (iii) interest income net of interest expense less certain general and administrative expenses incurred in the generation of net realized investment income in each case generated by KFN. This term describes a portion of KKR’s quarterly distribution under KKR's prior distribution policy.

Investments is a term used solely for purposes of financial presentation of a portion of KKR’s balance sheet and includes majority investments in subsidiaries that operate KKR’s asset management and broker-dealer businesses, including the general partner interests of KKR’s investment funds.

Total distributable earnings is the sum of (i) FRE, (ii) carry distributions received from KKR’s investment funds which have not been allocated as part of its carry pool, (iii) net realized investment income — KKR (ex-KFN) and (iv) net realized investment income — KFN; less (i) applicable local income taxes, if any, and (ii) noncontrolling interests. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides a supplemental measure to assess performance, excluding the impact of mark-to-market gains (losses), and amounts available for distribution to KKR unitholders. However, total distributable earnings is not a measure that calculates actual distributions under KKR’s prior or current distribution policy.

Assets under management (“AUM”) represent the assets from which KKR is entitled to receive fees or a carried interest and general partner capital. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into KKR’s capital raising activities and the overall activity in its investment funds. KKR calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of KKR’s investment funds plus uncalled capital commitments from these funds; (ii) the fair value of investments in KKR’s co-investment vehicles; (iii) the net asset value of certain of KKR’s fixed income products; (iv) the value of outstanding CLOs (excluding CLOs wholly-owned by KKR); and (v) the fair value of other assets managed by KKR. AUM excludes those assets managed by entities where KKR does not hold more than a 50% ownership interest. KKR’s definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages or calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.

Fee paying AUM (“FPAUM”) represents only those assets under management from which KKR receives management fees. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the capital base upon which KKR earns management fees. This relates to KKR’s capital raising activities and the overall activity in its investment funds or CLOs, for only those funds or CLOs where KKR receives fees (i.e., excluding vehicles that receive only carried interest or general partner capital). FPAUM is the sum of all of the individual fee bases that are used to calculate KKR’s fees and differs from AUM in the following respects: (i) assets from which KKR does not receive a fee are excluded (i.e., assets with respect to which it receives only carried interest) and (ii) certain assets, primarily in its private equity funds, are reflected based on capital commitments and invested capital as opposed to fair value because fees are not impacted by changes in the fair value of underlying investments.

Equity invested is the aggregate amount of equity capital that has been invested by KKR’s investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles and is used as a measure of investment activity for KKR and its business segments during a given period. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into KKR’s investments among its investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles and replaces committed dollars invested. Such amounts include: (i) capital invested by fund investors and co-investors with respect to which KKR is entitled to a carried interest and (ii) capital invested by KKR’s investment funds, including investments made using investment financing arrangements.

Gross dollars invested is the aggregate amount of capital that has been invested by all of KKR’s Public Markets investment vehicles in our private credit non-liquid strategies and is used as a measure of investment activity for a portion of KKR’s Public Markets segment in a given period. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into KKR’s investment of capital across private credit non-liquid strategies for all the investment vehicles in the Public Markets segment. Such amounts include capital invested by fund investors and co-investors with respect to which KKR’s Public Markets business is entitled to a fee or carried interest.

Syndicated capital is generally the aggregate amount of capital in transactions originated by KKR and its investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles, which has been distributed to third parties in exchange for a fee. It does not include (i) capital invested in such transactions by KKR investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles, which is instead reported in equity invested and (ii) debt capital that is arranged as part of the acquisition financing of transactions originated by KKR investment funds. Syndicated capital is used as a measure of investment activity for KKR and its business segments during a given period, and we believe that this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into levels of syndication activity in KKR's Capital Markets segment and across its investment platform.

Uncalled commitments are used as a measure of unfunded capital commitments that KKR’s investment funds and carry-paying co-investment vehicles have received from partners to contribute capital to fund future investments. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the amount of capital that is available to KKR’s investment funds to make future investments. Uncalled commitments are not reduced for investments completed using fund-level investment financing arrangements.

Adjusted units are used as a measure of the total equity ownership of KKR that is held by KKR & Co. L.P. (including equity awards issued under the Equity Incentive Plan), KKR Holdings and other holders of securities exchangeable into common units of KKR & Co. L.P. and represent the fully diluted unit count using the if-converted method. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides an indication of the total equity ownership of KKR as if all outstanding KKR Holdings units, equity awards issued under the Equity Incentive Plan and other exchangeable securities had been exchanged for common units of KKR & Co. L.P.

Core interest expense is used by management as an alternative measurement of interest expense incurred by KKR on a segment basis and excludes interest expense related to debt obligations from investment financing arrangements related to certain of KKR’s investment funds, investment vehicles and principal investments and also excludes interest expense incurred by KFN. The financing arrangements excluded from core interest expense are not direct obligations of the general partners of KKR’s private equity funds or its management companies, and in the case of debt obligations of KFN are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets of KFN. On a segment basis, interest expense is included in net interest and dividends within total investment income. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides an indication of the amount of interest expense borne by KKR excluding interest expense that is allocated to KKR’s investment funds, other noncontrolling interest holders and KFN. Additionally, we believe this measure is useful for analyzing KKR’s ability to service its debt obligations other than the debt obligations of KFN.

Book value is a measure of the net assets of KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management primarily in assessing the unrealized value of KKR’s investment portfolio, including carried interest, as well as KKR’s overall liquidity position. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the assets and liabilities of KKR excluding the assets and liabilities that are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders. Book value differs from KKR & Co. L.P. partners’ capital on a GAAP basis primarily as a result of the exclusion of ownership interests attributable to KKR Holdings.

Cash and short-term investments represent cash and liquid short-term investments in high-grade, short-duration cash management strategies used by KKR to generate additional yield on our excess liquidity and is used by management in evaluating KKR’s liquidity position. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into KKR’s available liquidity. Cash and short-term investments differ from cash and cash equivalents on a GAAP basis as a result of the inclusion of liquid short-term investments in cash and short-term investments.

Return on equity measures the amount of net income generated as a percentage of capital invested in KKR’s business. Return on equity is calculated by dividing Economic Net Income (Loss), After Taxes on a trailing twelve-month basis by the average book value during the period.

Cash return on equity measures the amount of cash income generated as a percentage of capital invested in KKR’s business. Cash return on equity is calculated by dividing Distributable Earnings, net of taxes on a trailing twelve-month basis by the average book value during the period.

(c) Unvested common units and other securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common unit on a GAAP basis because inclusion of such unvested common units and other securities would be anti-dilutive (decrease the loss per common unit).
