BAAM's individual investor solutions (liquid alternatives), ventures (seeding and minority interests), strategic opportunities (co-invests), and advisory (non-discretionary) platforms, except for investments by BPS funds directly into those platforms. BAAM-managed funds in liquidation and non fee-paying assets (net returns only) are also excluded. The funds/accounts that comprise the BPS Composite are not managed within a single fund or account and are managed with different mandates. There is no guarantee that BAAM would have made the same mix of investments in a stand- alone fund/account. The BPS Composite is not an investible product and, as such, the performance of the Composite does not represent the performance of an actual fund or account. % Change % Change (Dollars in Thousands) 2Q'17 2Q'18 vs. 2Q'17 2Q'17 YTD 2Q'18 YTD vs. 2Q'17 YTD Management Fees, Net 130,394 $ 130,365 $ (0)% 259,121 $ 259,938 $ 0% Performance Revenues 21,844 17,200 (21)% 55,343 32,438 (41)% Principal Investment Income 11,803 2,925 (75)% 29,464 4,005 (86)% Interest, Dividend and Other Revenue (6,046) 22,771 n/m (3,659) 17,295 n/m Total Revenues 157,995 173,261 10% 340,269 313,676 (8)% Compensation 47,361 48,086 2% 94,965 98,386 4% Performance Compensation 10,330 7,864 (24)% 24,069 16,499 (31)% Interest Expense 6,688 5,900 (12)% 13,231 12,171 (8)% Other Operating Expenses 16,318 18,494 13% 32,697 37,279 14% Total Expenses 80,697 80,344 (0)% 164,962 164,335 (0)% Economic Income 77,298 $ 92,917 $ 20% 175,307 $ 149,341 $ (15)% Total AUM 72,476,444 $ 77,403,078 $ 7% 72,476,444 $ 77,403,078 $ 7% Fee-Earning AUM 67,824,464 $ 71,889,290 $ 6% 67,824,464 $ 71,889,290 $ 6% Blackstone 6 |

 Blackstone 25 Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures – Notes Note: See page 31, Definitions and Distribution Policy. (a) This adjustment removes Transaction-Related Charges. Transaction-Related Charges arise from corporate actions including
acquisitions, divestitures, and Blackstone’s initial public
offering. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the tax receivable agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs and any gains or losses associated with these corporate actions.
(b) This adjustment reverses the effect of consolidating the Blackstone Funds and the elimination of non-controlling interests in the
Blackstone consolidated operating partnerships.
(c) Taxes represent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income (Loss)
Before Provision for Taxes and adjusted to exclude the tax impact
of any divestitures. (d)
This adjustment removes total segment Performance Revenues.
(e) This adjustment removes total segment Principal Investment Income (Loss).
(f) This adjustment removes total segment Other Revenues. (g) This adjustment removes total segment Interest and Dividend Revenue less total segment Interest Expense.
(h) This adjustment removes the total segment amount of Performance Compensation, comprised of Incentive Fee Compensation and

 Blackstone 27 This analysis reconciles the summarized components of Total Segments (pages 3-7) to their respective Total Segment amounts (page 13) and to their equivalent GAAP measures, reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations (page 1). (a) Represents (1) the add back of net management fees earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation,
and (2) the removal of revenue from the reimbursement of certain expenses by the Blackstone Funds, which are presented gross under GAAP but netted against Other Operating Expenses in the Total Segment measures.
(b)
Represents the add back of performance revenues earned from consolidated
Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c) Represents (1) the add back of Principal Investment Income, including general partner income, earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds
which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the inclusion of Principal Investment Income on non-consolidated Blackstone Funds which in GAAP is recorded as Other Income (Loss) - Net Gains (Losses) from Fund Investment Activities. (d) Represents (1) the add back of Other Revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and
(2) the removal of certain Transaction-Related Charges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Transaction-Related Charges included $580.9 million of Other Revenues received upon the conclusion of Blackstone’s investment sub-advisory relationship with FS
Investments’ funds. (e)
Represents the reversal of all revenue-related consolidation and
elimination adjustments. (f)
Represents transaction-related equity compensation that is not recorded in
the Total Segment measures. (g)
Represents interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable
Agreement. (h)
Represents the removal of (1) the amortization of transaction-related
intangibles, and (2) certain expenses reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds, which are presented gross under GAAP but netted against Other Operating Expenses in the Total Segment measures. (i) Represents the reversal of (1) GAAP Fund Expenses, which are attributable to consolidated Blackstone Funds and not a component of the
segments, and (2) all expense-related consolidation and elimination adjustments. (j) Represents the inclusion of Other Income (Loss) which is included in GAAP but not as a component of the Total Segment measures.
(k)
Represents all consolidation and elimination adjustments between GAAP and Total
Segment measures. Reconciliation

 Blackstone 31 Definitions and Distribution Policy 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:
• Economic Income, or
“EI”, represents segment net income before taxes and is used as a
key measure of value creation, a benchmark of performance and in making resource deployment and compensation decisions across Blackstone’s four segments. EI presents revenues and expenses on a basis that deconsolidates the investment funds Blackstone manages, and excludes the amortization of intangibles and other transaction-related
charges. o
Transaction-Related Charges
arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, and
Blackstone’s initial public offering. They consist primarily
of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent
consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the tax receivable agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs and any gains or losses associated with these corporate actions.
• Economic Net Income,
or “ENI”, represents EI adjusted to include current period taxes. Current period taxes represent the total GAAP
tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income (Loss) Before Provision for Taxes and adjusted to exclude the
tax impact of any divestitures.
• Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”,
is
used as a performance 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 less (a) cash compensation expenses (which excludes
Performance Compensation), and (b) Other Operating Expenses. FRE
represents EI adjusted to exclude: (a) the income related to Performance Revenue and related Performance Compensation, (b) income earned from Blackstone’s investments in the Blackstone Funds, (c) net interest income (loss),
(d) equity-based compensation, and (e) Other Revenue.
• Distributable
Earnings, or “DE”, which is derived from Blackstone’s segment reported results, is a supplemental measure used 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 is the sum across all segments of: (a) Total
Management, Advisory and Other Fees, Net, (b) Interest and Dividend Revenue, (c) Realized Incentive Fees, (d) Realized Performance Allocations, and (e) Realized Principal Investment Income (Loss); less (a) Compensation, excluding the expense of equity-based awards, (b) Realized Incentive Fee Compensation, (c) Realized Performance Allocations Compensation, (d) Interest Expense, (e) Other Operating
Expenses, and (f)
Taxes and Related Payables Under the Tax Receivable Agreement. DE is reconciled
to Blackstone’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
• Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or “Adjusted EBITDA”, is a supplemental measure used to assess performance derived from Blackstone’s segment results and may be used to assess its ability to service its
borrowings., •
Performance Revenues collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fees, and (b) Performance Allocations. • Performance Compensation collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fee Compensation, and (b) Performance Allocations Compensation. Distribution Policy. Blackstone’s intention is to distribute quarterly to common unitholders approximately 85% of The Blackstone Group L.P.’s share of Distributable Earnings, subject to adjustment by 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. The amount to be distributed could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. 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 its distribution policy at any time, including, without limitation, to eliminate such distributions entirely. |
