Oaktree Announces Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

As of June 30, 2018 or for the quarter then ended, and where applicable, per Class A unit:

  • GAAP net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (“OCG”) was $31.1 million ($0.44 per unit), down from $117.3 million ($1.83) for the second quarter of 2017, primarily driven by lower incentive income relative to the second quarter of 2017’s record amount.
  • Adjusted net income was $91.5 million ($0.51 per unit), down from $281.7 million ($1.73) for the second quarter of 2017, primarily driven by lower incentive income.
  • Distributable earnings were $114.3 million ($0.69 per unit), down from $289.3 million ($1.65) for the second quarter of 2017, primarily driven by lower incentive income.
  • Assets under management were $121.6 billion, up slightly for both the quarter and last 12 months. Gross capital raised was $3.3 billion and $9.6 billion for the quarter and last 12 months, respectively. Uncalled capital commitments (“dry powder”) were $20.3 billion, of which $14.1 billion were not yet generating management fees (“shadow AUM”).
  • Management fee-generating assets under management were $100.5 billion, down 1% for both the quarter and last 12 months.
  • A distribution was declared of $0.55 per unit, bringing aggregate distributions relating to the last 12 months to $2.83.

LOS ANGELES--()--Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (NYSE: OAK) today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Jay Wintrob, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Oaktree delivered strong investment performance and solid fundraising of $3.3 billion in the second quarter. We are deploying our dry powder judiciously, consistent with our view that it is late in the cycle, and capitalizing on the current market environment by actively harvesting investments, boding well for future distributable earnings.”

Series A Preferred Unit Issuance

On May 17, 2018, Oaktree issued 7,200,000 6.625% Series A Preferred units representing limited liability company interests with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit. The issuance resulted in $173.7 million in net proceeds. Distributions on the Series A Preferred units, when and if declared by the board of directors of Oaktree, will be paid quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2018. Distributions on the Series A Preferred units are non-cumulative.

Class A Unit Distribution

The distribution of $0.55 per Class A unit attributable to the second quarter of 2018 will be paid on August 10, 2018 to Class A unitholders of record at the close of business on August 6, 2018.

Series A Preferred Unit Distribution

A distribution was declared of $0.542882 per Series A Preferred unit, which will be paid on September 17, 2018 to Series A Preferred unitholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2018. The first distribution on Series A Preferred units is calculated based on the date of the original issuance, reflecting a period longer than three months. Future distributions will reflect a period of three months.

Note: Oaktree discloses in this earnings release certain revenues and financial measures, including measures that are calculated and presented on a basis other than generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“non-GAAP”). Examples of such non-GAAP measures are identified in the table above. Such non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, net income, net income per Class A unit or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented at Exhibit A. All non-GAAP measures and all interim results presented in this release are unaudited.

(1)   Beginning with the first quarter of 2018, management fees and incentive income reflect the portion of the earnings from management fees and performance fees, respectively, attributable to our 20% ownership interest in DoubleLine. Such earnings were previously reported as investment income. Additionally, AUM, management fee-generating AUM, incentive-creating AUM and incentives created (fund level) now reflect our pro-rata portion (based on our 20% ownership stake) of DoubleLine’s total AUM, management fee-generating AUM, incentive-creating AUM and performance fees, respectively. All prior periods have been recast to reflect this change.
 

GAAP Results

Oaktree consolidates entities in which it has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest. Investment vehicles in which we have a significant investment, such as collateralized loan obligation vehicles (“CLOs”) and certain Oaktree funds, are consolidated under GAAP. When a CLO or fund is consolidated, the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the consolidated funds are reflected on a gross basis, and the majority of the economic interests in those consolidated funds, which are held by third-party investors, are reflected as debt obligations of CLOs or non-controlling interests. All of the revenues earned by us as investment manager of the consolidated funds are eliminated in consolidation. However, because the eliminated amounts are earned from and funded by third-party investors, the consolidation of a fund does not impact net income or loss attributable to OCG.

In the first quarter of 2018, Oaktree adopted the new revenue recognition standard on a modified retrospective basis, which did not require prior periods to be recast. Instead, a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase retained earnings of $48.7 million, net of tax, was recorded as of January 1, 2018. This adjustment relates to revenues that would have met the recognition criteria under the new standard as of January 1, 2018.

Total revenues decreased $420.8 million, or 66.4%, to $213.3 million for the second quarter of 2018, from $634.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, primarily reflecting lower incentive income. The impact on revenues as a result of applying the new revenue recognition standard was a net increase of $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2018.

Total expenses decreased $238.8 million, or 56.4%, to $184.6 million for the second quarter of 2018, from $423.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, primarily reflecting lower incentive income compensation expense.

Other income decreased $48.5 million, or 53.7%, to $41.9 million for the second quarter of 2018, from $90.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, primarily reflecting variations in returns on our fund investments between periods.

Net income attributable to OCG Class A unitholders decreased $86.2 million, or 73.5%, to $31.1 million for the second quarter of 2018, from $117.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, primarily reflecting lower incentive income.

Operating Metrics

Assets Under Management

Assets under management were $121.6 billion as of June 30, 2018, $121.4 billion as of March 31, 2018 and $121.1 billion as of June 30, 2017. The $0.2 billion increase since March 31, 2018 primarily reflected $2.4 billion in new capital commitments to closed-end funds, $0.7 billion in market-value gains and $0.3 billion attributable to DoubleLine, largely offset by $1.9 billion of distributions to closed-end fund investors, $0.8 billion in unfavorable foreign-currency translation and $0.3 billion of net outflows from open-end funds. Commitments to closed-end funds included $1.1 billion for Oaktree Transportation Infrastructure Fund (“TIF”) and $0.7 billion for Oaktree Special Situations Fund II (“SSF II”).

The $0.5 billion increase in AUM since June 30, 2017 primarily reflected $4.4 billion of capital commitments to closed-end funds, $3.9 billion in market-value gains, $2.2 billion attributable to DoubleLine, $2.1 billion from becoming the investment adviser to two publicly-traded business development companies (the “BDC acquisition”) and $0.4 billion in favorable foreign-currency translation, largely offset by $8.8 billion of distributions to closed-end fund investors and $3.6 billion of net outflows from open-end funds. Commitments to closed-end funds included $1.6 billion for our Real Estate strategy, $1.1 billion to TIF, $0.7 billion for SSF II and $0.3 billion for our European Private Debt strategy. Distributions to closed-end fund investors included $4.5 billion from Credit funds, $2.3 billion from Real Asset funds and $2.0 billion from Private Equity funds.

Management Fee-generating Assets Under Management

Management fee-generating AUM, a forward-looking metric, was $100.5 billion as of June 30, 2018, $102.0 billion as of March 31, 2018 and $101.6 billion as of June 30, 2017. The $1.5 billion decrease since March 31, 2018 primarily reflected $1.0 billion attributable to closed-end funds in liquidation, $0.8 billion in unfavorable foreign-currency translation and $0.4 billion of net outflows from open-end funds, partially offset by $0.4 billion from capital drawn by funds that pay fees based on drawn capital, NAV or cost basis and $0.3 billion attributable to DoubleLine.

The $1.1 billion decrease in management fee-generating AUM since June 30, 2017 primarily reflected $5.5 billion attributable to closed-end funds in liquidation, $3.7 billion of net outflows from open-end funds and $0.9 billion of distributions by closed-end funds that pay fees based on NAV. These decreases were partially offset by $2.2 billion attributable to DoubleLine, $2.1 billion from the BDC acquisition, $1.8 billion from capital drawn by closed-end funds that pay fees based on drawn capital, NAV or cost basis, $1.4 billion in market-value gains, $0.9 billion from the start of the investment period for Oaktree European Principal Fund IV (“EPF IV”) in July 2017, and $0.3 billion in favorable foreign-currency translation.

Incentive-creating Assets Under Management

Incentive-creating AUM was $33.3 billion as of June 30, 2018, $33.0 billion as of March 31, 2018 and $31.3 billion as of June 30, 2017. The $0.3 billion increase since March 31, 2018 reflected an aggregate $2.3 billion in drawdowns or contributions by closed-end and evergreen funds and market-value gains, partially offset by an aggregate $2.0 billion decline primarily attributable to distributions by closed-end funds. The $2.0 billion increase since June 30, 2017 reflected an aggregate $9.0 billion in drawdowns or contributions by closed-end and evergreen funds and market-value gains and $2.1 billion from the BDC acquisition, partially offset by an aggregate decline of $9.1 billion primarily attributable to distributions by closed-end funds.

Of the $33.3 billion in incentive-creating AUM as of June 30, 2018, $21.0 billion (or 63%), was generating incentives at the fund level, as compared with $20.3 billion (65%), of the $31.3 billion of incentive-creating AUM as of June 30, 2017.

Accrued Incentives (Fund Level) and Incentives Created (Fund Level)

Accrued incentives (fund level) were $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2018 and $1.8 billion as of both March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017. The second quarter of 2018 reflected $119.3 million of incentives created (fund level) and $51.4 million of incentive income recognized.

Accrued incentives (fund level), net of incentive income compensation expense (“net accrued incentives (fund level)”), were $898.6 million as of June 30, 2018, $868.0 million as of March 31, 2018, and $866.7 million as of June 30, 2017. The portion of net accrued incentives (fund level) represented by funds that were currently paying incentives as of June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017 was $214.6 million (or 24%), $197.3 million (23%) and $236.5 million (27%), respectively, with the remainder arising from funds that as of that date were not at the stage of their cash distribution waterfall where Oaktree was entitled to receive incentives, other than possibly tax-related distributions.

Uncalled Capital Commitments

Uncalled capital commitments were $20.3 billion as of June 30, 2018, $19.6 billion as of March 31, 2018, and $21.5 billion as of June 30, 2017. Invested capital during the quarter and 12 months ended June 30, 2018 aggregated $1.9 billion and $7.9 billion, respectively, as compared with $1.8 billion and $7.6 billion for the comparable prior-year periods.

Non-GAAP Results

Adjusted Revenues

Adjusted revenues decreased $430.9 million, or 61.2%, to $273.5 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $704.4 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily driven by lower incentive income, as well as declines in management fees and investment income.

Management Fees

Management fees decreased $6.8 million, or 3.4%, to $195.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $202.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease reflected an aggregate decline of $27.1 million primarily attributable to closed-end funds in liquidation, partially offset by an aggregate increase of $20.3 million principally from the BDC acquisition, the start of the investment period for EPF IV and closed-end funds that pay management fees based on drawn capital, NAV or cost basis.

Incentive Income

Incentive income decreased $408.5 million, or 88.8%, to $51.4 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $459.9 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to the $427.8 million of incentive income in the prior-year period from Oaktree Principal Opportunities Fund IV, which started paying incentive income in the second quarter of 2017.

Investment Income

Investment income decreased $15.6 million, or 37.3%, to $26.2 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $41.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease primarily reflected lower returns on our Listed Equities investments.

Adjusted Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense increased $4.3 million, or 4.3%, to $103.6 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $99.3 million in the second quarter of 2017, in part reflecting growth in average headcount, as well as higher expenses relating to the infrastructure investing team that Oaktree acquired in 2014. In 2017, a portion of the expenses attributable to that team were paid for by a legacy Highstar fund. That fund stopped paying management fees in the fourth quarter of 2017, and thereafter Oaktree became responsible for all of the expenses of the infrastructure team.

Equity-based Compensation

Equity-based compensation expense increased $0.3 million, or 2.2%, to $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $13.8 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Incentive Income Compensation

Incentive income compensation expense decreased $249.0 million, or 92.2%, to $21.0 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $270.0 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily reflecting the decline in incentive income.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased $6.7 million, or 20.7%, to $39.1 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $32.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase primarily reflected higher new product development costs and expenses relating to the infrastructure investing team that Oaktree acquired in 2014.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.3 million, or 15.0%, to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily reflecting amortization of additional leasehold improvements.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net decreased $4.1 million, or 63.1%, to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decline reflected the refinancing of our senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2017 and higher interest income.

Adjusted Net Income

ANI decreased $190.2 million, or 67.5%, to $91.5 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $281.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease primarily reflected declines of $159.6 million in incentive income, net of incentive income compensation expense (“net incentive income”), $18.1 million in fee-related earnings and $15.6 million in investment income, partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in net interest expense. The portion of ANI attributable to our Class A units was $36.1 million, or $0.51 per unit, and $111.1 million, or $1.73 per unit, for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The effective tax rates applied to ANI in the second quarters of 2018 and 2017 were 12% and 4%, respectively, resulting from full-year effective tax rates of 10% and 11%, respectively. The rate used for interim fiscal periods is based on an estimated full-year effective tax rate on income that can be reliably forecasted, combined with tax expense in the current period on incentive income and any other income that cannot be reliably estimated. We generally expect variability in tax rates between periods because the effective tax rate is a function of the mix of income and other factors, each of which can have a material impact on the particular period’s income tax expense and often vary significantly within or between years. In general, the annual effective tax rate increases as the proportion of ANI arising from fee-related earnings and certain incentive and investment income rises, and vice versa.

Distributable Earnings

Distributable earnings decreased $175.0 million, or 60.5%, to $114.3 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $289.3 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily reflecting declines of $159.6 million in net incentive income and $18.1 million in fee-related earnings, partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in investment income proceeds. For the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, investment income proceeds totaled $39.8 million and $37.3 million, respectively. The portion of distributable earnings attributable to our Class A units was $0.69 and $1.65 per unit for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively, reflecting distributable earnings per Operating Group unit of $0.73 and $1.86, respectively, less costs borne by Class A unitholders for professional fees and other expenses, cash taxes attributable to the Intermediate Holding Companies, and amounts payable pursuant to the tax receivable agreement.

Fee-related Earnings

Fee-related earnings decreased $18.1 million, or 26.2%, to $50.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, from $69.0 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily reflecting $6.8 million in lower management fees, $6.7 million in higher general and administrative expense and $4.3 million in higher compensation and benefits expense. The portion of fee-related earnings attributable to our Class A units was $0.30 and $0.37 per unit for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The effective tax rates applicable to fee-related earnings for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017 were 5% and 16%, respectively, resulting from full-year effective tax rates of 6% and 15%, respectively. The rate used for interim fiscal periods is based on the estimated full-year effective tax rate, which is subject to change as the year progresses. In general, the annual effective tax rate increases as annual fee-related earnings increase, and vice versa.

Capital and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2018, Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries had $832 million of cash and U.S. Treasury and other securities, and $746 million of outstanding debt, which included no borrowings outstanding against its $500 million revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2018, Oaktree’s investments in funds and companies on a non-GAAP basis had a carrying value of $1.6 billion, with the 20% investment in DoubleLine carried at $22 million based on cost, as adjusted under the equity method of accounting. Net accrued incentives (fund level) represented an additional $899 million as of that date.

(1)   In the first quarter of 2018, Oaktree adopted the new revenue recognition standard on a modified retrospective basis, which did not require prior periods to be recast. Instead, a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase retained earnings of $48.7 million, net of tax, was recorded as of January 1, 2018. This adjustment relates to revenues that would have met the recognition criteria under the new standard as of January 1, 2018.
 

Operating Metrics

We monitor certain operating metrics that are either common to the alternative asset management industry or that we believe provide important data regarding our business. As described below, these operating metrics include AUM, management fee-generating AUM, incentive-creating AUM, incentives created (fund level), accrued incentives (fund level) and uncalled capital commitments.

(1)   These amounts include capital commitments to funds that pay fees based on committed capital, as well as the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash related to new CLO formations.
(2) These amounts include the change for funds that pay fees based on the lesser of funded capital or cost basis during the liquidation period, as well as recallable distributions at the end of the investment period. For most closed-end funds, management fees are charged during the liquidation period on the lesser of (a) total funded capital or (b) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund, with the cost basis of assets generally calculated by excluding cash balances. Thus, changes in fee basis during the liquidation period are not dependent on distributions made from the fund; rather, they are tied to the cost basis of the fund’s investments, which typically declines as the fund sells assets.
(3) The change in uncalled capital commitments reflects declines attributable to funds entering their liquidation periods, as well as capital contributions to funds in their liquidation periods for deferred purchase obligations or other reasons.
(4) These amounts include distributions by funds that pay fees based on NAV, as well as reductions in the par value of collateral assets and principal cash resulting from the repayment of debt as return of principal by CLOs.
(5) The change in market value reflects certain funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable, as well as changes in the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by CLOs and other levered funds.

Non-GAAP Results

Our business is comprised of one segment, our investment management business, which consists of the investment management services that we provide to our clients. Management makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of our business based on financial data that are presented without the consolidation of our funds. The data most important to management in assessing our performance are adjusted net income, distributable earnings and fee-related earnings, each for both the Operating Group and per Class A unit. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented at Exhibit A.

Distribution per Class A unit (3)

$ 0.55   $ 1.31   $ 1.51   $ 2.02  
 
(1)   This adjustment characterizes a portion of the distributions received from funds as receipts of investment income or loss. In general, the income or loss component of a fund distribution is calculated by multiplying the amount of the distribution by the ratio of our investment’s undistributed income or loss to our remaining investment balance. In addition, if the distribution is made during the investment period, it is generally not reflected in distributable earnings until after the investment period ends. Additionally, any impairment charges on our CLO investments included in ANI are, for distributable earnings purposes, amortized over the remaining investment period of the respective CLO to align with the timing of expected cash flows.
(2) For distributable earnings purposes, the $22 million make-whole premium charge that was included in ANI in the fourth quarter of 2017 in connection with the early repayment of our 2019 Notes is amortized through the original maturity date of December 2019.
(3) With respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2018, a distribution was announced on July 26, 2018 and is payable on August 10, 2018.

(1)   For our incentive-creating closed-end funds in their investment periods, this percentage equals invested capital divided by committed capital. Invested capital for this purpose is the sum of capital drawn from fund investors plus net borrowings, if any, outstanding, under a fund-level credit facility where such borrowings were made in lieu of drawing capital from fund investors.
(2) Represents capital drawn from fund investors, net of distributions to such investors of uninvested capital, divided by committed capital. The aggregate change in drawn capital for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.7 billion.
(3) Accrued incentives (fund level) exclude non-GAAP incentive income previously recognized.
(4) Unreturned drawn capital plus accrued preferred return reflects the amount the fund needs to distribute to its investors as a return of capital and a preferred return (as applicable) before Oaktree is entitled to receive incentive income (other than tax distributions) from the fund.
(5) The internal rate of return (“IRR”) is the annualized implied discount rate calculated from a series of cash flows. It is the return that equates the present value of all capital invested in an investment to the present value of all returns of capital, or the discount rate that will provide a net present value of all cash flows equal to zero. Fund-level IRRs are calculated based upon the actual timing of cash contributions/distributions to investors and the residual value of such investor’s capital accounts at the end of the applicable period being measured. Gross IRRs reflect returns before allocation of management fees, expenses and any incentive allocation to the fund’s general partner. To the extent material, gross returns include certain transaction, advisory, directors or other ancillary fees (“fee income”) paid directly to us in connection with our funds’ activities (we credit all such fee income back to the respective fund(s) so that our funds’ investors share pro rata in the fee income’s economic benefit). Net IRRs reflect returns to non-affiliated investors after allocation of management fees, expenses and any incentive allocation to the fund’s general partner.
(6) Multiple of drawn capital is calculated as drawn capital plus gross income and, if applicable, fee income before fees and expenses divided by drawn capital.
(7) Fund data include the performance of the main fund and any associated fund-of-one accounts, except the gross and net IRRs presented reflect only the performance of the main fund. Certain fund-of-one accounts pay management fees based on cost basis, rather than committed capital.
(8) Legacy funds represent certain predecessor funds within the relevant strategy or product that have substantially or completely liquidated their assets, including funds managed by certain Oaktree investment professionals while employed at the Trust Company of the West prior to Oaktree’s founding in 1995. When these employees joined Oaktree upon, or shortly after, its founding, they continued to manage the fund through the end of its term pursuant to a sub-advisory relationship between the Trust Company of the West and Oaktree.
(9) Management fees during the investment period are calculated on drawn capital or cost basis, rather than committed capital. As a result, as of June 30, 2018 management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of committed capital that had been drawn.
(10) Aggregate IRRs or totals are based on the conversion of cash flows or amounts, respectively, from euros to USD using the June 30, 2018 spot rate of $1.17.
(11) The fund’s partnership interests are divided into Class A and Class B interests, with the Class A interests having priority with respect to the distribution of current income and disposition proceeds. The net IRR for Class A interests was 10.4% and Class B interests was 9.2%. The combined net IRR for Class A and Class B interests was 9.8%.
(12) The fund’s partnership interests are divided into Class A and Class B interests, with the Class A interests having priority with respect to the distribution of current income and disposition proceeds. The net IRR for Class A interests was 10.8% and Class B interests was 10.5%. The combined net IRR for the Class A and Class B interests was 10.6%.
(13) The IRR is not considered meaningful (“nm”) as the period from the initial capital contribution through June 30, 2018 was less than 30 months.
(14) A portion of this fund pays management fees based on drawn, rather than committed, capital.
(15) Due to differences in the allocation of income and expenses to this fund’s two primary limited partners, the U.S. Treasury and Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, a combined net IRR is not presented. Of the $2,322 million in capital commitments, $1,161 million related to the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, whose gross and net IRR were 24.7% and 18.6%, respectively.
(16) The fund follows the American-style distribution waterfall, whereby the general partner may receive an incentive allocation as soon as it has returned the drawn capital and paid a preferred return on the fund’s realized investments (i.e., on a deal-by-deal basis). However, such cash distributions of incentives may be subject to repayment, or clawback. As of June 30, 2018, Oaktree had not recognized any incentive income from this fund. The accrued incentives (fund level) for this fund represents Oaktree’s effective 8% of the potential incentives generated by this fund in accordance with the terms of the Highstar acquisition.
(17) This includes our closed-end Senior Loan funds, CLOs, a non-Oaktree fund and certain separate accounts and co-investments.
(18) The total excludes one closed-end fund with management fee-generating AUM of $129 million as of June 30, 2018, which has been included as part of the Strategic Credit strategy within the evergreen funds table.

GLOSSARY

Accrued incentives (fund level) represents the incentive income that would be paid to us if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of the date of the financial statements. Incentives created (fund level) refers to the gross amount of potential incentives generated by the funds during the period, and includes our pro-rata portion of performance fees attributable to our minority interest in DoubleLine earned in the period. We refer to the amount of accrued incentives recognized as revenue by us as incentive income. Amounts recognized by us as incentive income are no longer included in accrued incentives (fund level), the term we use for remaining fund-level accruals. Incentives created (fund level), incentive income and accrued incentives (fund level) are presented gross, without deduction for direct compensation expense that is owed to our investment professionals associated with the particular fund when we earn the incentive income. We call that charge “incentive income compensation expense.” Incentive income compensation expense varies by the investment strategy and vintage of the particular fund, among many factors.

Adjusted net income (“ANI”) is a measure of profitability for our investment management business. The components of revenues (“adjusted revenues”) and expenses (“adjusted expenses”) used in the determination of ANI do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. Adjusted revenues include investment income (loss) that is classified in other income (loss) in the GAAP statements of operations, and management fees and incentive income include the portion of the earnings from management fees and performance fees, respectively, attributable to our 20% ownership interest in DoubleLine, which are reflected as investment income in our GAAP statements of operations. In addition, ANI excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) acquisition-related items, including amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability, (c) income taxes, (d) other income or expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies, (e) the adjustment for non-controlling interests, and (f) the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which resulted in the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and tax receivable liability in the fourth quarter of 2017. Moreover, gains and losses resulting from foreign-currency transactions and hedging activities under GAAP are recognized as general and administrative expense whether realized or unrealized in the current period. For ANI, unrealized gains and losses from foreign-currency hedging activities are deferred until realized, at which time they are included in the same revenue or expense line item as the underlying exposure that was hedged, and foreign-currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net. Incentive income and incentive income compensation expense are included in ANI when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, which may be later than the time at which the same revenue or expense is included in the GAAP statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is probable that significant reversal will not occur and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. CLO investments are carried at fair value for GAAP reporting, whereas for ANI, they are carried at amortized cost, subject to any impairment charges. Investment income on CLO investments is recognized in ANI when cash distributions are received. Cash distributions are allocated between income and return of capital based on the effective yield method. In periods prior to 2018, adjusted revenues and adjusted expenses reflected Oaktree’s proportionate economic interest in Highstar, whereby amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs from a legacy Highstar fund were classified as expenses for ANI and as other income under GAAP. The legacy Highstar fund stopped paying management fees in 2017. As a result, we will no longer be receiving such reimbursement amounts. ANI is calculated at the Operating Group level.

Adjusted net income-Class A, or adjusted net income per Class A unit, a non-GAAP performance measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of ANI attributable to their ownership. Adjusted net income-Class A represents ANI including the effect of (a) preferred unit distributions, (b) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (c) other income or expenses, such as income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (d) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. Two of our Intermediate Holding Companies incur federal and state income taxes for their shares of Operating Group income. Generally, those two corporate entities hold an interest in the Operating Group’s management fee-generating assets and a small portion of its incentive and investment income-generating assets. As a result, historically our fee-related earnings generally have been subject to corporate-level taxation, and most of our incentive income and other investment income generally has not been subject to corporate-level taxation. Thus, the blended effective income tax rate has generally tended to be higher to the extent that fee-related earnings represented a larger proportion of our ANI. A variety of other factors affect income tax expense and the effective income tax rate, and there can be no assurance that this historical relationship will continue going forward.

Assets under management (“AUM”) generally refers to the assets we manage and equals the NAV of the assets we manage, the leverage on which management fees are charged, the undrawn capital that we are entitled to call from investors in our funds pursuant to their capital commitments, and our pro-rata portion of AUM managed by DoubleLine in which we hold a minority ownership interest. For our CLOs, AUM represents the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash, for our publicly-traded BDCs, gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), net of cash, and for DoubleLine funds, NAV. Our AUM includes amounts for which we charge no management fees.

  • Management fee-generating assets under management (“management fee-generating AUM”) is a forward-looking metric and generally reflects the beginning AUM on which we will earn management fees in the following quarter, as well as our pro-rata portion of the fee basis of DoubleLine’s AUM. Our closed-end funds typically pay management fees based on committed capital, drawn capital or cost basis during the investment period, without regard to changes in NAV, and during the liquidation period on the lesser of (a) total funded capital or (b) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund. The annual management fee rate generally remains unchanged from the investment period through the liquidation period. Our open-end and evergreen funds typically pay management fees based on their NAV, our CLOs pay management fees based on the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash, as defined in the applicable CLO indentures, our publicly-traded BDCs pay management fees based on gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), net of cash, and DoubleLine funds typically pay management fees based on NAV. As compared with AUM, management fee-generating AUM generally excludes the following:
    • Differences between AUM and either committed capital or cost basis for most closed-end funds, other than for closed-end funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable;
    • Undrawn capital commitments to closed-end funds that have not yet commenced their investment periods;
    • Undrawn capital commitments to funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital, NAV or cost basis;
    • Oaktree’s general partner investments in management fee-generating funds;
    • Funds that are no longer paying management fees and co-investments that pay no management fees; and
    • Differences between AUM and fee basis for DoubleLine funds.
  • Incentive-creating assets under management (“incentive-creating AUM”) refers to the AUM that may eventually produce incentive income. It generally represents the NAV of our funds for which we are entitled to receive an incentive allocation, excluding CLOs and investments made by us and our employees and directors (which are not subject to an incentive allocation), gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), net of cash, for our publicly-traded BDCs, and our pro-rata portion of DoubleLine’s incentive-creating AUM. All funds for which we are entitled to receive an incentive allocation are included in incentive-creating AUM, regardless of whether or not they are currently above their preferred return or high-water mark and therefore generating incentives. Incentive-creating AUM does not include undrawn capital commitments.

Class A units refer to the common units of OCG designated as Class A units.

Consolidated funds refers to the funds and CLOs that Oaktree is required to consolidate as of the respective reporting date.

Distributable earnings is a non-GAAP performance measure derived from our non-GAAP results that we use to measure our earnings at the Operating Group level without the effects of the consolidated funds for the purpose of, among other things, assisting in the determination of equity distributions from the Operating Group. However, the declaration, payment and determination of the amount of equity distributions, if any, is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, which may change our distribution policy at any time.

Distributable earnings and distributable earnings revenues differ from ANI in that they exclude investment income or loss and include the receipt of investment income or loss from distributions by our investments in funds. Additionally, any impairment charges on our CLO investments included in ANI are, for distributable earnings purposes, amortized over the remaining investment period of the respective CLO, in order to align with the timing of expected cash flows. In addition, distributable earnings differs from ANI in that make-whole premium charges related to the repayment of debt are included in ANI, but for distributable earnings purposes are amortized through the original maturity date of the repaid debt. Finally, distributable earnings differs from ANI in that it is net of Operating Group income taxes and excludes non-cash equity-based compensation expense.

Distributable earnings-Class A, or distributable earnings per Class A unit, a non-GAAP performance measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of distributable earnings attributable to their ownership. Distributable earnings-Class A represents distributable earnings, including the effect of (a) preferred unit distributions, (b) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (c) expenses, such as current income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (d) amounts payable under a tax receivable agreement. The income tax expense included in distributable earnings-Class A represents the implied current provision for income taxes calculated using an approach similar to that which is used in calculating the income tax provision for adjusted net income-Class A.

Economic net income (“ENI”) is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to evaluate the financial performance of our business by applying the mark-to-market approach to incentive income. The mark-to-market approach followed by ENI recognizes incentive income as if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of the date of the financial statements, as compared to the GAAP criteria that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur and the ANI criteria that the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable. ENI is computed by adjusting ANI for the change in accrued incentives (fund level), net of associated incentive income compensation expense, during the period.

Economic net income revenues is a non-GAAP measure applying the mark-to-market approach, instead of the GAAP revenue recognition approach, for incentive income, and reflects the adjustments described above under the definition of ANI.

Economic net income-Class A, or economic net income per Class A unit, a non-GAAP performance measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of ENI attributable to their ownership. Economic net income-Class A represents ENI, including the effect of (a) preferred unit distributions, (b) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (c) other income or expenses, such as income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (d) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. The income tax expense included in economic net income-Class A represents the implied provision for income taxes calculated using an approach similar to that which is used in calculating the income tax provision for adjusted net income-Class A.

Fee-related earnings (“FRE”) is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to monitor the baseline earnings of our business. FRE is derived from our non-GAAP results and is comprised of management fees (“fee-related earnings revenues”) less operating expenses other than incentive income compensation expense and non-cash equity-based compensation expense. FRE is considered baseline because it excludes all non-management fee revenue sources and applies all cash compensation and benefits other than incentive income compensation expense, as well as all general and administrative expenses, to management fees, even though those expenses also support the generation of incentive and investment income. FRE is presented before income taxes.

Fee-related earnings-Class A, or fee-related earnings per Class A unit, is a non-GAAP performance measure calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of FRE attributable to their ownership. Fee-related earnings-Class A represents FRE including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) other income or expenses, such as income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. Fee-related earnings-Class A income taxes is calculated excluding any incentive income or investment income (loss).

Incentive income is generally recognized for our closed-end funds only after the fund has distributed all contributed capital plus an annual preferred return (commonly referred to as the European-style waterfall) and, for our evergreen funds, on an annual basis up to 20% of the year’s profits, subject to a high-water mark or hurdle rate. For non-GAAP reporting, incentive income also includes the portion of the performance fees attributable to our minority equity interest in DoubleLine earned in the period.

Intermediate Holding Companies collectively refers to the subsidiaries wholly owned by us.

Invested capital reflects deployed capital, whether involving drawn or recycled equity capital, or borrowings from fund-level credit facilities. This metric is used in connection with incentive-creating closed-end funds and certain evergreen funds.

Management fees are recognized over the period in which our investment advisory services are performed and for non-GAAP reporting include the portion of the earnings from management fees attributable to our minority equity interest in DoubleLine.

Net asset value (“NAV”) refers to the value of all the assets of a fund (including cash and accrued interest and dividends) less all liabilities of the fund (including accrued expenses and any reserves established by us, in our discretion, for contingent liabilities) without reduction for accrued incentives (fund level) because they are reflected in the partners’ capital of the fund.

Oaktree, OCG, we, us, our or the Company refers to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and, where applicable, its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Oaktree Operating Group (“Operating Group”) refers collectively to the entities in which we have a minority economic interest and indirect control that either (i) act as or control the general partners and investment advisers of our funds or (ii) hold interests in other entities or investments generating income for us.

Preferred units or preferred unitholders refer to the Series A Preferred units of OCG or Series A Preferred unitholders, respectively, unless otherwise specified.

Relevant Benchmark refers, with respect to:

  • our U.S. High Yield Bond product, to the FTSE US High-Yield Cash-Pay Capped Index;
  • our Global High Yield Bond product, to an Oaktree custom global high yield index that represents 60% ICE BofAML High Yield Master II Constrained Index and 40% ICE BofAML Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers 3% Constrained, ex-Russia Index – USD Hedged from inception through December 31, 2012, and the ICE BofAML Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index – USD Hedged thereafter;
  • our European High Yield Bond product, to the ICE BofAML Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers excluding Russia 3% Constrained Index (USD Hedged);
  • our U.S. Senior Loan product (with the exception of the closed-end funds), to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index;
  • our European Senior Loan product, to the Credit Suisse Western European Leveraged Loan Index (EUR Hedged);
  • our U.S. Convertible Securities product, to an Oaktree custom convertible index that represents the Credit Suisse Convertible Securities Index from inception through December 31, 1999, the Goldman Sachs/Bloomberg Convertible 100 Index from January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2004, and the ICE BofAML All U.S. Convertibles Index thereafter;
  • our non-U.S. Convertible Securities product, to an Oaktree custom non-U.S. convertible index that represents the JACI Global ex-U.S. (Local) Index from inception through December 31, 2014 and the Thomson Reuters Global Focus ex-U.S. (USD hedged) Index thereafter;
  • our High Income Convertible Securities product, to the FTSE US High-Yield Market Index; and
  • our Emerging Markets Equities product, to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (Net).

Sharpe Ratio refers to a metric used to calculate risk-adjusted return. The Sharpe Ratio is the ratio of excess return to volatility, with excess return defined as the return above that of a riskless asset (based on the three-month U.S. Treasury bill, or for our European Senior Loan product, the Euro Overnight Index Average) divided by the standard deviation of such return. A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates a return that is higher than would be expected for the level of risk compared to the risk-free rate.

Uncalled capital commitments represent undrawn capital commitments by partners (including Oaktree as general partner) of our closed-end funds through their investment periods and certain evergreen funds. If a fund distributes capital during its investment period, that capital is typically subject to possible recall, in which case it is included in uncalled capital commitments.

(1)   This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences associated with the recognition of incentive income and incentive income compensation expense between adjusted net income and net income attributable to OCG Class A unitholders.
(2) This adjustment adds back the effect of differences in the recognition of investment income related to corporate investments in CLOs which under GAAP are marked-to-market but for ANI are accounted for at amortized cost, subject to impairment.
(3) This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income and fee-related earnings because it is a non-cash charge that does not affect our financial position.
(4) This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences associated with the recognition of unrealized gains and losses related to foreign-currency hedging between adjusted net income and net income attributable to OCG Class A unitholders.
(5) This adjustment adds back the effect of acquisition-related items associated with the amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability, which are excluded from adjusted net income.
(6) Because adjusted net income and fee-related earnings are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.
(7) Because adjusted net income and fee-related earnings are calculated at the Operating Group level, this adjustment adds back the effect of items applicable to OCG, its Intermediate Holding Companies or non-controlling interests.
(8) This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made after our initial public offering, which is excluded from fee-related earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations.
(9) This adjustment reflects the portion of distributions received from funds characterized as receipts of investment income or loss. In general, the income or loss component of a distribution from a fund is calculated by multiplying the amount of the distribution by the ratio of our investment’s undistributed income or loss to our remaining investment balance. In addition, if the distribution is made during the investment period, it is generally not reflected in distributable earnings until after the investment period ends.
