Oaktree Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Assets under management reached a record $103 billion as of June 30, 2015, up 13% year-over-year, on capital inflows of $6.3 billion for the second quarter and a record $24.0 billion for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015.
Adjusted net income declined to $85.3 million, or $0.44 per Class A unit, for the second quarter of 2015 from $134.7 million, or $0.75, for the second quarter of 2014, primarily on lower investment income and fee-related earnings.
Distributable earnings declined to $111.2 million, or $0.59 per Class A unit, for the second quarter of 2015 from $116.2 million, or $0.64, for the second quarter of 2014, on lower fee-related earnings.
GAAP net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC was $19.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, as compared with $31.2 million for the second quarter of 2014.
Oaktree declares a distribution of $0.50 per Class A unit with respect to the second quarter of 2015, bringing aggregate distributions relating to the last four quarters to $2.32.
LOS ANGELES, CA. July 28, 2015 – Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (NYSE: OAK) today reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Jay Wintrob, CEO, said, “Second quarter adjusted net income declined year over year primarily due to lower overall returns from our fund investments.  Fundraising in the second quarter totaled $6.3 billion, helping to achieve our highest-ever assets under management of $103 billion at June 30, up 13% from a year ago.  Gross capital raised over the last twelve months of $24 billion set a new record for any such period, demonstrating the trust and confidence that our clients continue to place in us and the strength of our firm-wide distribution activities.  With record dry powder of $20.1 billion, we’re well positioned for future investment opportunities across multiple strategies.”
Assets under management (“AUM”) and management fee-generating assets under management (“management fee-generating AUM”) as of June 30, 2015 were $103.1 billion and $78.6 billion, respectively, up 13% and 1% from their respective June 30, 2014 balances of $91.1 billion and $77.8 billion. AUM of $103.1 billion surpassed the previous record high of $99.9 billion as of March 31, 2015.
Capital inflows drove the growth in AUM. Gross capital raised was $6.3 billion for the second quarter of 2015 and a record $24.0 billion for the last twelve months. The second quarter included $2.3 billion of new capital commitments for Oaktree Opportunities Funds X and Xb (“Opps X and Xb”), bringing to $9.4 billion their aggregate capital commitments to date, and a first closing of $1.3 billion for Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund VII (“ROF VII”). None of these three funds had begun to generate management fees as of June 30, 2015.
Adjusted net income (“ANI”) declined to $85.3 million and $240.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, from $134.7 million and $381.7 million for the comparable periods last year. Distributable earnings declined to $111.2 million and $251.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, from $116.2 million and $349.3 million for the comparable periods last year. The second quarter declines were primarily attributable to lower fee-related earnings and, in the case of ANI, lower investment

income. The declines in ANI and distributable earnings for the six-month period were largely attributable to lower incentive income, primarily stemming from the first quarter’s annual tax-related incentive distributions.
In addition to ANI, Oaktree calculates economic net income (“ENI”) to facilitate comparability with other alternative asset managers that report a measure similar to ENI as a performance metric. Unlike ANI, ENI measures incentive income based on market values of the funds’ holdings. ENI decreased to $17.7 million and $246.5 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, from $211.1 million and $438.4 million for the comparable periods last year. Per Class A unit, ENI was a loss of $0.02 and income of $1.21 for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, as compared to income of $1.17 and $2.50 for the comparable periods last year.
GAAP-basis results for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 included net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC of $19.8 million and $58.1 million, respectively, as compared to $31.2 million and $83.0 million for the comparable periods last year.
Closed-end funds that Oaktree is currently marketing include Oaktree Mezzanine Fund IV (“Mezz IV”), ROF VII, Opps X and Xb, Oaktree Enhanced Income Fund III, Oaktree Infrastructure Fund, European Capital Solutions Fund and Oaktree European Principal Fund IV.

Operating Metrics
Assets Under Management
AUM was $103.1 billion as of June 30, 2015, $99.9 billion as of March 31, 2015 and $91.1 billion as of June 30, 2014. The $3.2 billion increase since March 31, 2015 reflected $4.7 billion in capital inflows for closed-end funds and a $0.4 billion favorable impact from foreign currency translation, partially offset by $1.4 billion of distributions to closed-end fund investors and $0.6 billion in uncalled capital commitments for closed-end funds at the end of their investment periods. Capital inflows for closed-end funds included $2.3 billion for Opps X and Xb, and $1.3 billion for ROF VII.
The $12.0 billion increase in AUM since June 30, 2014 reflected $18.1 billion of aggregate capital inflows and fee-generating leverage for closed-end and evergreen funds, $2.3 billion from the August 2014 Highstar acquisition and $1.9 billion of net inflows to open-end funds, partially offset by $7.1 billion of distributions to closed-end fund investors, a $2.2 billion negative impact from foreign currency translation and $1.0 billion in uncalled capital commitments for closed-end funds at the end of their investment periods. Capital inflows and fee-generating leverage for closed-end and evergreen funds included $9.4 billion for Opps X and Xb, $1.3 billion for ROF VII, $1.1 billion for Oaktree Enhanced Income Fund II, $1.1 billion for Oaktree Power Opportunities Fund IV (“Power Fund IV”) and $1.1 billion for collateralized loan obligation vehicles (“CLOs”). Distributions to closed-end fund investors included $3.3 billion by Distressed Debt funds, $1.3 billion by Real Estate funds, $1.1 billion by Mezzanine funds and $1.0 billion by Principal Investing funds.
Management Fee-generating Assets Under Management
Management fee-generating AUM was $78.6 billion as of June 30, 2015, $78.5 billion as of March 31, 2015 and $77.8 billion as of June 30, 2014. The $0.1 billion increase since March 31, 2015 reflected $0.4 billion in drawdowns or contributions by closed-end and evergreen funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV, $0.3 billion from net inflows to open-end funds, a $0.3 billion favorable impact from foreign currency translation and a $0.8 billion decline attributable to closed-end funds in liquidation. Of the $13.0 billion in aggregate potential management fee-generating AUM for Opps X and Xb, ROF VII, Power Fund IV, Oaktree Principal Fund VI (“PF VI”) and Mezz IV, only $168 million from PF VI and Mezz IV had become management fee-generating AUM as of June 30, 2015.
The $0.8 billion increase in management fee-generating AUM since June 30, 2014 reflected $3.0 billion from fee-generating leverage and drawdowns or contributions by closed-end and evergreen funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV, $1.9 billion from the Highstar acquisition, $1.8 billion from net inflows to open-end funds and $1.3 billion attributable to CLOs and capital commitments to closed-end funds, partially offset by $3.4 billion attributable to closed-end funds in liquidation, a $1.8 billion negative impact from foreign currency translation, $0.6 billion in uncalled capital commitments, $0.6 billion in market-value declines and $0.4 billion of distributions by funds that pay fees based on NAV.
Incentive-creating Assets Under Management
Incentive-creating assets under management (“incentive-creating AUM”) were $33.9 billion as of June 30, 2015, $34.5 billion as of March 31, 2015 and $35.1 billion as of June 30, 2014. The $0.6 billion decrease since March 31, 2015 reflected the net effect of $0.8 billion in drawdowns by closed-end funds, $1.3 billion in distributions by closed-end funds, $0.3 billion in market-value declines and a $0.2 billion positive impact from foreign currency translation. The $1.2 billion decrease since June 30, 2014 reflected the net effect of $4.4 billion in drawdowns by closed-end funds, $1.0 billion from the Highstar acquisition, $0.5 billion in market-value gains, $6.1 billion in distributions by closed-end funds and a $1.0 billion negative impact from foreign currency translation.
Of the $33.9 billion in incentive-creating AUM as of June 30, 2015, $20.1 billion, or 59.3%, was generating incentives at the fund level.

Accrued Incentives (Fund Level) and Incentives Created (Fund Level)
Accrued incentives (fund level) were $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2015, $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2015 and $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2014. The second quarter of 2015 reflected $64.1 million of negative incentives created (fund level) and $61.1 million of segment incentive income recognized.
Net of incentive income compensation expense, accrued incentives (fund level) were $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2015, $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2015 and $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the portion of net accrued incentives (fund level) represented by funds that were currently paying incentives was $371.1 million, $419.8 million and $475.3 million, respectively, with the remainder arising from funds that as of that date had not yet reached 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 $20.1 billion as of June 30, 2015, $17.2 billion as of March 31, 2015, and $11.0 billion as of June 30, 2014. Capital drawn by closed-end funds during the quarter and twelve months ended June 30, 2015 aggregated $1.5 billion and $7.3 billion, respectively, as compared with $2.5 billion and $7.4 billion for the corresponding prior-year periods.
Segment Results
Revenues
Segment revenues declined $32.4 million, or 10.7%, to $270.1 million in the second quarter of 2015, from $302.5 million in the second quarter of 2014, reflecting decreases of $3.5 million in management fees and $30.8 million in investment income, partially offset by $1.9 million in higher incentive income.
Management Fees
Management fees decreased $3.5 million, or 1.9%, to $185.6 million in the second quarter of 2015, from $189.1 million in the second quarter of 2014. The decline reflected the net effect of an aggregate decrease of $19.6 million primarily among closed-end funds in liquidation and an aggregate increase of $16.1 million from closed-end funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV, CLOs, net inflows to open-end and evergreen funds, and the Highstar acquisition.
Incentive Income
Incentive income increased $1.9 million, or 3.2%, to $61.1 million in the second quarter of 2015, from $59.2 million in the second quarter of 2014. Oaktree Opportunities Fund VIIb accounted for $59.0 million and $38.9 million of the total incentive income in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Investment Income
Investment income decreased $30.8 million, or 56.8%, to $23.4 million in the second quarter of 2015, from $54.2 million in the second quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting lower overall returns from our fund investments, amid generally weaker financial markets. Our one-fifth ownership stake in DoubleLine Capital LP and its affiliates (collectively, “DoubleLine”) accounted for investment income of $12.5 million and $10.6 million in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively, of which performance fees accounted for $0.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits increased $11.2 million, or 12.1%, to $103.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, from $92.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. The increase primarily reflected growth in headcount, including the Highstar acquisition. The second quarters of 2015 and 2014 included a $1.2 million expense and a $2.0 million

5


benefit, respectively, associated with our phantom equity awards, stemming from each period’s equity distribution and change in the Class A unit trading price.
Equity-based Compensation
Equity-based compensation increased $6.8 million, or 133.3%, to $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, from $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting non-cash amortization expense associated with vesting of restricted unit grants made to employees and directors subsequent to our initial public offering in 2012.
Incentive Income Compensation
Incentive income compensation expense decreased $0.5 million, or 1.7%, to $29.6 million for the second quarter of 2015, from $30.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. Incentive income compensation expense declined while incentive income increased, primarily due to differences in the applicable compensation percentages.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense decreased $5.1 million, or 16.4%, to $26.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, from $31.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, general and administrative expense decreased $2.3 million, or 7.0%, to $30.4 million from $32.7 million.
Adjusted Net Income
ANI decreased $49.4 million, or 36.7%, to $85.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, from $134.7 million for the second quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting decreases of $30.8 million in investment income and $9.8 million in fee-related earnings. The portion of ANI attributable to our Class A units was $21.4 million and $32.7 million for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Per Class A unit, adjusted net income-OCG was $0.44 and $0.75 for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The effective tax rate applied to ANI for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 was 18% and 13%, respectively, resulting from estimated full-year effective rates of 17% and 11%, respectively. The 18% effective tax rate applied to ANI for the second quarter of 2015 was based on an estimated full-year effective tax rate on income that can be reliably forecasted combined with the actual tax expense in the current period on income that cannot be reliably estimated, such as incentive income.  We would expect variability between quarters and for the full year because the effective tax rate is a function of the mix of income and other factors that often vary significantly within or between years, each of which can have a material impact on the particular year’s income tax expense.
Distributable Earnings
Distributable earnings declined $5.0 million, or 4.3%, to $111.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, from $116.2 million for the second quarter of 2014, reflecting a $9.8 million decrease in fee-related earnings, partially offset by a $6.9 million increase in investment income proceeds. For the second quarter of 2015, investment income proceeds totaled $38.4 million, including $30.2 million from fund distributions and $8.2 million from DoubleLine, as compared with total investment income proceeds in the prior-year quarter of $31.5 million, of which $22.9 million and $8.6 million was attributable to fund distributions and DoubleLine, respectively.
The portion of distributable earnings attributable to our Class A units was $0.59 and $0.64 per unit for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively, reflecting distributable earnings per Operating Group unit of $0.72 and $0.76, 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 $9.8 million, or 15.4%, to $53.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, from $63.5 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease reflected $3.5 million of lower management fees, an $11.2 million increase in compensation and benefits, and a $5.1 million decrease in general and administrative expense.

6


The portion of fee-related earnings attributable to our Class A units was $0.34 per unit for each of the second quarters of 2015 and 2014.
The effective tax rate applicable to fee-related earnings for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 was -1% and 16%, respectively, resulting from full-year effective tax rates of 4% 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.
GAAP-basis Results
Net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC was $19.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to $31.2 million for the second quarter of 2014.

(1)
Our business is comprised of one segment, our investment management segment, which consists of the investment management services that we provide to our clients. The components of revenues and expenses used in determining adjusted net income do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. Segment revenues include investment income (loss) that is classified in other income (loss) in the GAAP-basis statements of operations. Segment revenues and expenses also reflect Oaktree's proportionate economic interest in Highstar, whereby amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs are included with segment expenses, as compared to being recorded as other income under GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges 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) differences arising from equity value units (“EVUs”) that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes, (d) income taxes, (e) other income or expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (f) the adjustment for non-controlling interests. Incentive income and incentive income compensation expense are included in adjusted net income 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-basis statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is fixed or determinable and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. Adjusted net income is calculated at the Operating Group level. For additional information regarding the reconciling adjustments discussed above, please see Exhibit A.
(2)
Interest income was $1.2 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $2.2 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
(3)
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.
(4)
Our funds record as accrued incentives 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. We refer to the amount of incentive income recognized as revenue by us as segment 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.

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 represent capital commitments to funds that pay fees based on committed capital, as well as the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash associated with our CLOs.
(2)
These amounts represent 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 generally declines as the fund sells assets.
(3)
These amounts represent 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 by our CLOs.
(4)
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 our CLOs resulting from other activities.

(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.
(2)
With respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the distribution was announced on July 28, 2015 and is payable on August 13, 2015.

(1)
Drawn capital reflects the capital contributions of investors in the fund, net of any distributions to such investors of uninvested capital.
(2)
Accrued incentives (fund level) exclude Oaktree segment incentive income previously recognized.
(3)
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.
(4)
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.
(5)
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.
(6)
Legacy funds represent certain predecessor funds within the relevant strategy 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.
(7)
Management fees during the investment period are calculated on drawn, rather than committed, capital. As a result, as of June 30, 2015 management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of committed capital that had been drawn.
(8)
Due to the differences in allocations 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. Oaktree PPIP Fund had liquidated all of its investments and made its final liquidating distribution as of December 31, 2013. Oaktree PPIP Fund and Oaktree PPIP Private Fund were dissolved as of December 31, 2013. Of the $2,322 million in capital commitments, $1,161 million related to the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund. The gross and net IRR for the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund were 24.7% and 18.6%, respectively.
(9)
Aggregate IRRs are based on the conversion of cash flows from Euros to USD using the June 30, 2015 spot rate of $1.11.
(10)
The IRR is not considered meaningful (“nm”) as the period from the initial capital contribution through June 30, 2015 was less than 18 months.
(11)
As of June 30, 2015, Oaktree Principal Fund VI had made an aggregate $59 million drawdown against its $1.0 billion of committed capital. Oaktree has not yet commenced the fund's investment period and, as a result, as of June 30, 2015 management fees were assessed only on the drawn capital, and management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of committed capital.
(12)
The fund includes co-investments of $456 million in AUM for which we earn no management fees or incentive allocation. Those co-investments have been excluded from the calculation of gross and net IRR, as well as the unreturned drawn capital plus accrued preferred return amount and multiple of drawn capital. 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

23



deal-by-deal basis). However, such cash distributions of incentives may be subject to repayment, or clawback. As of June 30, 2015, Oaktree had not recognized any incentive income from this fund. Additionally, under the terms of the Highstar acquisition, Oaktree is effectively entitled to approximately 8% of the potential incentives generated by this fund.
(13)
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 8.1%. The combined net IRR for Class A and Class B interests was 9.5%.
(14)
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%.
(15)
Totals are based on the conversion of Euro amounts to USD using the June 30, 2015 spot rate of $1.11.
(16)
This includes our closed-end Senior Loan funds, Oaktree Asia Special Situations Fund, OCM Asia Principal Opportunities Fund, CLOs, two closed-end separate accounts and, in the case of management fee-generating AUM and accrued incentives (fund level), a non-Oaktree fund and two evergreen separate accounts in our Real Estate Debt strategy.
(17)
This excludes two closed-end funds with management fee-generating AUM aggregating $445 million as of June 30, 2015, which has been included as part of the Strategic Credit strategy within the evergreen funds table, and includes two evergreen separate accounts in our Real Estate Debt strategy with an aggregate $145 million of management fee-generating AUM.
(18)
The aggregate change in drawn capital for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $1.5 billion.

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. We refer to the amount of incentive income recognized as revenue by us as segment 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.
Adjusted net income (“ANI”) is a measure of profitability for our investment management segment. The components of revenues (“segment revenues”) and expenses used in the determination of ANI do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. Segment revenues include investment income (loss) that is classified in other income (loss) in the GAAP-basis statements of operations. Segment revenues and expenses also reflect Oaktree's proportionate economic interest in Highstar, whereby amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs are included with segment expenses, as compared to being recorded as other income under GAAP. In addition, ANI excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges 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) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes, (d) income taxes, (e) other income or expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (f) the adjustment for non-controlling interests. 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-basis statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is fixed or determinable and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. ANI is calculated at the Operating Group level.
Adjusted net income–OCG, or adjusted net income per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of ANI attributable to their ownership. Adjusted net income-OCG represents ANI 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. 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 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. Myriad 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 fund-level 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 the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by our CLOs.
Management fee-generating assets under management (“management fee-generating AUM”) is a forward-looking metric and reflects the AUM on which we will earn management fees in the following quarter. Our closed-end funds typically pay management fees based on committed capital or drawn capital 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 remains unchanged from the investment period through the liquidation period. Our open-end and evergreen funds typically pay management fees based on their NAV, and our CLOs pay management fees based on the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by them, as defined in the applicable CLO indentures. As compared with AUM, management fee-generating AUM generally excludes the following:

26



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 or NAV;
The investments we make in our funds as general partner;
Closed-end funds that are beyond the term during which they pay management fees and co-investments that pay no management fees; and
AUM in restructured and liquidating evergreen funds for which management fees were waived.
Incentive-creating assets under management (“incentive-creating AUM”) refers to the AUM that may eventually produce incentive income. It 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). 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 generating incentives. Incentive-creating AUM does not include undrawn capital commitments.
Consolidated funds refers to the funds and CLOs that Oaktree consolidates through a majority voting interest or otherwise, including those funds in which Oaktree as the general partner is presumed to have control.
Distributable earnings is a non-GAAP performance measure derived from our segment 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 segment investment income or loss and include the receipt of investment income or loss from distributions by our investments in funds and companies. In addition, distributable earnings differs from ANI in that it is net of Operating Group income taxes and excludes non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering in 2012.
Distributable earnings–OCG, or distributable earnings per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of distributable earnings attributable to their ownership.  Distributable earnings-OCG represents distributable earnings including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) expenses, such as current income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) amounts payable under a tax receivable agreement.  The income tax expense included in distributable earnings-OCG 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-OCG.
Economic net income (“ENI”) is a non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate the financial performance of our segment by applying the “Method 2,” instead of the “Method 1,” revenue recognition approach to accounting for incentive income. ANI follows Method 1, except incentive income is recognized when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, as opposed to the fixed or determinable standard of Method 1. The Method 2 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. ENI is computed by adjusting ANI for the change in accrued incentives (fund level), net of associated incentive income compensation expense, during the period.

27



Economic net income revenues is a non-GAAP measure applying the Method 2, instead of the Method 1, approach to accounting for segment incentive income, and reflects the adjustments described above and under the definition of ANI.
Economic net income–OCG, or economic net income per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of ENI attributable to their ownership. Economic net income-OCG represents ENI, 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.  The income tax expense included in economic net income-OCG 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-OCG.
Equity value units (“EVUs”) represent special limited partnership units in Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, L.P. (“OCGH”) that entitle the holder the right to receive a one-time special distribution that will be settled in OCGH units, based on value created during a specified period (“Term”) in excess of a fixed “Base Value.” The value created will be measured on a per unit basis, based on Class A unit trading prices and certain components of quarterly distributions with respect to the period during the Term. EVUs also give the holder the right, subject to service vesting and Oaktree performance relative to the accreting Base Value, to receive certain quarterly distributions from OCGH. EVUs do not entitle the holder to any voting rights.
Fee-related earnings (“FRE”) is a non-GAAP measure that we use to monitor the baseline earnings of our business. FRE is comprised of segment management fees (“fee-related earnings revenues”) less segment operating expenses other than incentive income compensation expense and non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering. FRE is considered baseline because it 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 a significant portion of those expenses is attributable to incentive and investment income. FRE is presented before income taxes.
Fee-related earnings–OCG, or fee-related earnings per Class A unit, is a non-GAAP measure calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of FRE attributable to their ownership. Fee-related earnings–OCG 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–OCG income taxes is calculated excluding any segment incentive income or investment income (loss).
Intermediate Holding Companies collectively refers to the subsidiaries wholly owned by us.
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 that control the general partners and investment advisors of our funds in which we have a minority economic interest and indirect control.
Relevant Benchmark refers, with respect to:
our U.S. High Yield Bond strategy, to the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Cash-Pay Capped Index;
our Global High Yield Bond strategy, to an Oaktree custom global high yield index that represents 60% BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index and 40% BofA Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers 3% Constrained, ex-Russia Index – USD Hedged from inception through December 31, 2012, and the BofA Merrill Lynch Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index – USD Hedged thereafter;

28



our European High Yield Bond strategy, to the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers excluding Russia 3% Constrained Index (USD Hedged);
our U.S. Senior Loan strategy (with the exception of the closed-end funds), to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index;
our European Senior Loan strategy, to the Credit Suisse Western European Leveraged Loan Index (EUR Hedged);
our U.S. Convertible Securities strategy, 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 BofA Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index thereafter;
our non-U.S. Convertible Securities strategy, 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 strategy, to the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Market Index; and
our Emerging Markets Equities strategy, 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 strategy, 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.

Fee-related earnings is a component of adjusted net income and is comprised of segment management fees less segment operating expenses other than incentive income compensation expense and non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering.
(2)
This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges 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 or make equity distributions.
(3)
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.
(4)
This adjustment adds back the effect of (a) equity-based compensation charges 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, and (b) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes.
(5)
This adjustment adds back the effect of acquisition-related items associated with the amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability.
(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.

(1)
This adjustment adds back segment investment income, which with respect to investments in funds is initially largely non-cash in nature and is thus not available to fund our operations or make equity distributions.
(2)
This adjustment eliminates 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.
(3)
This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering, which is excluded from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations or make equity distributions.
(4)
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.
(5)
This adjustment adds back the effect of (a) equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income because it does not affect our financial position and from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund operations or make equity distributions, and (b) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes.
(6)
This adjustment adds back the effect of acquisition-related items associated with the amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability.
(7)
Because adjusted net income and distributable earnings are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.
(8)
Because adjusted net income and distributable 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.

Please see Glossary for the definition of economic net income.
(2)
The change in accrued incentives (fund level), net of associated incentive income compensation expense, represents the difference between (a) our recognition of net incentive income and (b) the incentive income generated by the funds during the period that would be due to us if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of that date, net of associated incentive income compensation expense.
(3)
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.
(4)
This adjustment adds back the effect of (a) equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income and economic net income because it is a non-cash charge that does not affect our financial position, and (b) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes.
(5)
This adjustment adds back the effect of acquisition-related items associated with the amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability.
(6)
Because adjusted net income and economic net income are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.
(7)
Because adjusted net income and economic net income 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.
