Revenues
for

quarter
were
up
26%
year-over-year,
due
to
increases
in

deals
in
our
Restructuring
and
Park
Hill
businesses,
in
conjunction
with
revenue
from
the
recently
formed
Blackstone
Capital

business.
Restructuring
revenue
increased
year-over-year,
reflecting
the
business’s
fourth
highest
revenue
quarter
in
its
history,
driven
by
the
successful
completion
of
numerous
large
transactions.
Park
Hill’s
revenue
increased
year-over-year,
and
the
pipeline
remains
solid
as
challenging
fundraising
market
conditions
continue
to
drive
demand

services.
Blackstone
Advisory
Partners’
revenue
was
up
from
the

but
decreased
slightly
year-over-year

Definitions and Distribution Policy
35
Blackstone
Blackstone discloses the following financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“non-GAAP”) in this presentation:
Blackstone uses Economic Income, or “EI”, as a key measure of value creation, a benchmark of its performance and in making resource deployment and
compensation decisions across its five segments. EI represents segment net income before taxes excluding transaction-related charges. Transaction-related charges
arise from Blackstone’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and long-term retention programs outside of annual deferred compensation and other corporate actions,
including acquisitions. Transaction-related charges include equity-based compensation charges, the amortization of intangible assets and contingent consideration
associated with acquisitions. EI presents revenues and expenses on a basis that deconsolidates the investment funds Blackstone manages.
Economic Net Income, or “ENI”, represents EI adjusted to include current period taxes. Taxes represent the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income
(Loss) Before Provision for Taxes.
Blackstone uses Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”, as a key measure to highlight earnings from operations excluding:  (a) the income related to performance fees and
related carry plan costs, (b) income earned from Blackstone’s investments in the Blackstone Funds, and (c) realized and unrealized gains (losses) from other
investments except for such gains (losses) from Blackstone’s Treasury cash management strategies. Blackstone uses FRE as a measure to assess whether recurring
revenue from its businesses is sufficient to adequately cover all of its operating expenses and generate profits. FRE equals contractual fee revenues, investment
income from Blackstone’s Treasury cash management strategies and interest income, less (a) compensation expenses (which includes amortization of non-IPO and
non-acquisition-related equity-based awards, but excludes amortization of IPO and acquisition-related equity-based awards, carried interest and incentive fee
compensation), and (b) other operating expenses.
Distributable Earnings, or “DE”, which is derived from Blackstone’s segment reported results, is a supplemental measure to assess performance and amounts
available for distributions to Blackstone unitholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the Blackstone Holdings partnerships.
DE is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of the consolidation of the Blackstone Funds. DE, which is a component of ENI, is the
sum across all segments of:  (a) Total Management and Advisory Fees, (b) Interest and Dividend Revenue, (c) Other Revenue, (d) Realized Performance Fees, and
(e) Realized Investment Income (Loss); less (a) Compensation, excluding the expense of equity-based awards, (b) Realized Performance Fee Compensation,
(c)  Other Operating Expenses, and (d) Taxes and Related Payables Including the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement. DE is reconciled to Blackstone’s
Consolidated Statement of Operations. 
Blackstone uses Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or “Adjusted EBITDA”, as a measure of segment performance and an
indicator of its ability to cover recurring operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA equals DE before segment interest expense, segment depreciation and amortization,
and the taxes and related payables including the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement.
Net Cash Available for Distribution to Common Unitholders is The Blackstone Group L.P.’s share of Distributable Earnings, less realized investment gains and returns
of capital from investments and acquisitions, in excess of amounts determined by Blackstone’s general partner to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the
conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and funds, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt instruments or other agreements,
or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and distributions to unitholders for any ensuing quarter.
Distribution Policy. For 2013, Blackstone’s intention is to distribute to common unitholders each quarter substantially all of its Net Cash Available for Distribution to
Common Unitholders, subject to a minimum base quarterly distribution of $0.12 per unit. In circumstances in which the Net Cash Available for Distribution to
Common Unitholders for a quarter falls short of the amount necessary to support such per unit distribution, Blackstone intends to correspondingly reduce
subsequent quarterly distributions below the amounts supported by the Net Cash Available for Distribution to Common Unitholders by the amount of the shortfall,
but not below $0.12 per unit. All of the foregoing is subject to the qualification that the declaration and payment of any distributions are at the sole discretion of
Blackstone’s general partner and may change at any time, including, without limitation, to reduce the quarterly distribution payable to common unitholders to less
than $0.12 per unit or even to eliminate such distributions entirely.
