— $6.3 billion in carry fund realized proceeds in Q4 2013, with $17.4 billion realized in 2013

— $3.8 billion in new capital raised in Q4 2013 and $22.0 billion raised in 2013

Washington, DC – Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group L.P. (NASDAQ: CG) today reported its results for the full-year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013.

Carlyle Co-CEO David M. Rubenstein said, “Carlyle experienced a strong year in 2013 across virtually every metric. We benefitted from an accelerating fundraising environment, we built out our Natural Resources platform and Solutions business, and we attracted industry leading management talent to the firm. Our fund and financial performance over the past year demonstrates the advantage of our long term focus, which benefits both our fund investors and unitholders.”

Carlyle Co-CEO William E. Conway, Jr. said, “Our fund investors profited from robust performance in our carry funds and strong risk adjusted returns in our hedge funds. We took advantage of a strong market backdrop to produce $17.4 billion in realized proceeds during 2013, and more than $60 billion over the past four years. Our unwavering focus on performance helped Carlyle produce $1.88 in distributions per unit for our common unitholders for 2013.”

U.S. GAAP results for Q4 2013 and 2013, respectively, included income before provision for income taxes of $714 million and $1.4 billion, and net income attributable to the common unitholders through The Carlyle Group L.P. of $71 million and $104 million, or net income per common unit of $1.17 and $2.05, on a diluted basis. Total balance sheet assets were $35.6 billion as of December 31, 2013.

Fourth Quarter Distribution

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution of $1.40 per common unit to holders of record at the close of business on March 3, 2014, payable on March 11, 2014.

Including the $1.40 per common unit distribution payable on March 11, 2014, the Board of Directors has declared $1.88 in aggregate distributions per common unit for the 2013 fiscal year, reflecting a 75% payout of $2.50 in full year after-tax Distributable Earnings per common unit.

The Carlyle Group Distribution Policy

As further discussed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Carlyle currently anticipates that it will cause Carlyle Holdings to make quarterly distributions to its partners, including The Carlyle Group L.P.’s wholly owned subsidiaries, that will enable The Carlyle Group L.P. to pay a quarterly distribution of $0.16 per common unit for each of the first three quarters of each year, and, for the fourth quarter of each year, to pay a distribution of at least $0.16 per common unit, that, taken together with the prior quarterly distributions in respect of that year, represents its share, net of taxes and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreement, of Carlyle’s Distributable Earnings in excess of the amount determined by the General Partner to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and its funds or to comply with applicable law or any of its financing agreements. Carlyle anticipates that the aggregate amount of its distributions for most years will be less than its Distributable Earnings for that year due to these funding requirements. The declaration and payment of any distributions is at the sole discretion of the General Partner, which may change the distribution policy at any time.

The Carlyle Engine

Carlyle evaluates the underlying performance of its business on four key metrics known as the Carlyle Engine: funds raised, equity invested, carry fund returns and realized proceeds for fund investors. The table below highlights the results of these metrics for Q4 2013 and the full years of 2013 and 2012.

Note: Equity Invested and Realized Proceeds reflect carry funds only.

During Q4 2013, Carlyle’s carry funds generated realized proceeds of $6.3 billion from 160 different investments across 38 carry funds, and deployed $2.2 billion of equity in 97 new or follow-on investments across 30 carry funds. For 2013, Carlyle realized proceeds of $17.4 billion and invested $8.2 billion.

o  Fee-Related Earnings¹ were $39 million for Q4 2013 and declined 30% from $55 million in Q4 2012 due to $18 million in non-recurring proceeds received in Q4 2012 from an insurance settlement and higher interest costs associated with the senior notes offerings during 2013, partially offset by higher Fee-Earning Assets Under Management. Fee-Related Earnings were $152 million in 2013, down 11% compared with 2012.

o  Realized Net Performance Fees were $357 million for Q4 2013, compared to $127 million in Q4 2012.

o  Fee-Related Earnings were $4 million in Q4 2013 and $9 million for 2013, compared to $19 million in Q4 2012 and $63 million for 2012, with the decline driven by higher fundraising costs for buyout funds, higher allocated interest costs, and the allocation of proceeds received in Q4 2012 from an insurance settlement.

o  Fee-Earning Assets Under Management were $43.0 billion as of Q4 2013, up 27% from $33.8 billion as of Q4 2012, with the increase driven by $17.2 billion in inflows, and partially offset by $7.5 billion in outflows, including distributions and basis step downs.

Real Assets (RA)

Note: Funds Raised excludes acquisitions. Equity Invested and Realized Proceeds are for carry funds only.

— Distributable Earnings (DE): ($2) million for Q4 2013 and $46 million for 2013. The following components impacted Distributable Earnings in Q4 2013 and 2013:

o  Fee-Related Earnings were $3 million in Q4 2013 and $25 million for 2013, compared to $0 in Q4 2012 and $4 million in 2012. The increase was primarily driven by earnings from our equity interest in NGP Energy Capital Management (which was only a partial period in Q4 2012), partially offset by increases in professional fees, fundraising costs for our latest vintage U.S. real estate fund, higher allocated interest costs during 2013, and the allocation of proceeds received in Q4 2012 from an insurance settlement.

o  Realized Net Performance Fees were $1 million for Q4 2013 and $45 million for 2013, compared to $22 million for Q4 2012 and $99 million for 2012.

o  Realized Investment Income/(Loss) of ($6) million during Q4 2013 and ($23) million for 2013, driven by losses in certain Latin American and European real estate investments.

o  Net Performance Fees of ($3) million for Q4 2013 and $31 million for 2013, compared to $6 million for Q4 2012 and $69 million in 2012.

o  Investment Income/(Loss) of ($64) million during Q4 2013 and ($85) million for 2013, driven by unrealized losses in certain Latin American and European real estate investments.

— Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $38.7 billion as of Q4 2013

o  Total AUM of $38.7 billion declined 4% versus Q4 2012, driven by $5.2 billion in distributions, partially offset by $2.0 billion in new commitments and $1.6 billion in market appreciation.

o  Fee-Earning AUM of $28.4 billion declined 3% versus Q4 2012, driven by $3.1 billion in outflows, including distributions, partially offset by $2.1 billion in inflows, including commitments.

— Distributable Earnings (DE): $15 million for Q4 2013 and $42 million for 2013

o  Fee-Related Earnings were $10 million for Q4 2013 and $32 million for 2013, compared to $5 million in Q4 2012 and $16 million in 2012.

o  Realized Net Performance Fees were $5 million for Q4 2013 and $10 million for 2013, compared to $1 million in Q4 2012 and $2 million in 2012.

o  The increases were primarily due to the acquisition of the remaining interest in AlpInvest as well as a partial quarter benefit from the acquisition of Metropolitan Real Estate Equity Management.

— Economic Net Income (ENI): $26 million for Q4 2013 and $73 million for 2013, compared to $8 million in Q4 2012 and $24 million for 2012.

— Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $49.8 billion as of Q4 2013

o  Total AUM of $49.8 billion was up 13% compared to Q4 2012, driven by $4.7 billion in commitments, $2.1 billion in acquisitions, and $6.0 billion in market appreciation, partially offset by $8.1 billion in distributions.

o  Fee-Earning AUM of $35.1 billion increased 21% versus Q4 2012, with the increase primarily driven by $7.6 billion in inflows and commitments, $2.2 billion in acquisitions, and partially offset by $5.5 billion in outflows, including distributions, and fee basis step downs.

— Solutions completed the acquisition of Metropolitan Real Estate Equity Management in November of 2013. As of December 31, 2013, Metropolitan advised 16 fund of funds vehicles totaling, in the aggregate, approximately $2.0 billion in AUM. Solutions also acquired Diversified Global Asset Management (DGAM) in February of 2014, which will be reflected in our Q1 2014 results, and which had $6.6 billion in managed and advised assets as of December 31, 2013.

(1) - During Q3 2013, Carlyle acquired the remaining 40% interest in AlpInvest. As such, amounts since the acquisition represent 100% of the financial results of AlpInvest. Prior to Q3 2013, amounts represent Carlyle’s 60% economic interest in AlpInvest.

Balance Sheet & Equity Capital Highlights

The amounts presented below exclude the effect of U.S. GAAP consolidation eliminations on investments and accrued performance fees, as well as cash and debt associated with Carlyle’s consolidated funds and consolidated real estate VIE. All data is as of December 31, 2013.

— Cash and Cash Equivalents of $967 million.

— On-balance sheet investments attributable to unitholders of $253 million, excluding the equity investment by Carlyle in NGP Energy Capital Management.

— Net Accrued Performance Fees attributable to unitholders of $1.8 billion. These performance fees are comprised of Gross Accrued Performance Fees of $3.7 billion less $50 million in accrued giveback obligation, $1.7 billion in accrued performance fee compensation and non-controlling interest, and $0.2 billion of net accrued performance fees realized in December 2013 and collected in January 2014.

— Loans payable and senior notes totaling $941 million.

Carlyle initiated an annual equity compensation program for its partners and employees at the end of 2013 and made an equity grant as part of the compensation program on February 1, 2014. The grant resulted in the issuance of 5.6 million new deferred restricted common units (“DRUs”) with the majority vesting over 3.5 years. The gross dilution from the equity grant is 1.8%. Commencing in Q1 2014, the dilutive effect of this DRU grant will be reflected in our GAAP and ENI per-unit results during their vesting period. However, the DRUs granted will not impact the Distributable Earnings-per-unit results until the DRUs vest, which principally will commence in Q3 2015.

Separately, common units issued in connection with the DGAM acquisition of approximately 0.7 million (approximately $22.1 million) and vesting of prior-year DRU grants increased our common unit count by approximately 0.9 million as of February 3, 2014. Prior year DRU grants, including grants made at the time of our IPO that will vest in 2014, will add 3.6 million units to our Distributable Earnings unit count throughout the year, with the majority vesting on May 2, 2014.

Starting with our year-end 2013 results, we have removed equity compensation expense from both Fee-Related Earnings and Distributable Earnings, as these measures closely represent cash earnings generation. Because Economic Net Income presents cash and non-cash measures, our equity compensation expenses are included in our Economic Net Income results as a separately disclosed expense item.

Conference Call

Carlyle will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday, February 19, 2014 to announce and discuss financial results for Q4 2013 and 2013.

Analysts and institutional investors may listen to the call by dialing +1-800-850-2903 (international +1-253-237-1169) and mentioning “Carlyle Group Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings Conference Call.” The conference call will be webcast simultaneously to the public through a link on the investor relations section of the Carlyle web site at ir.carlyle.com. An archived replay of the webcast will be available soon after the live call.

(1) Represents capital raised by our carry funds and fund of funds vehicles, net of expired available capital.

(2) Represents capital called by our carry funds and fund of funds vehicles, net of fund fees and expenses. Equity invested amounts may vary from capital called due to timing differences between investment acquisition and capital call dates.

(3) Represents distributions from our carry funds and fund of funds vehicles, net of amounts recycled. Distributions are based on when proceeds are actually distributed to investors, which may differ from when they are realized.

(4) Represents the net result of subscriptions to and redemptions from our hedge funds.

(5) Represents the change in the aggregate collateral balance and principal cash at par of the CLOs.

(6) Market Appreciation/(Depreciation) represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments and changes in the net asset value of our hedge funds.

(7) Represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds and other changes in Total AUM. Activity during the period is translated at the average rate for the period. Ending balances are translated at the spot rate as of the period end.

(8) Ending balance is comprised of approximately $17.2 billion from our structured credit funds, $14.1 billion in our hedge funds, $3.8 billion (including $1.5 billion of Available Capital) in our carry funds and $0.3 billion from our business development companies.

(9) Amounts related to the NGP funds are based on the latest available information (in most cases as of September 30, 2013).

(10) The fair market values for our Solutions fund of funds vehicles are based on the latest available valuations of the underlying limited partnership interests (in most cases as of September 30, 2013) as provided by their general partners, plus the net cash flows since the latest valuation, up to December 31, 2013.

(1) The data presented herein that provides “inception to date” performance results of our segments relates to the period following the formation of the first fund within each segment. For our Corporate Private Equity segment our first fund was formed in 1990. For our Real Assets segment our first fund was formed in 1997. For our Global Market Strategies segment, CSP II and CEMOF I were formed in June 2007 and December 2010, respectively.

(2) Represents the original cost of all capital called for investments since inception of the fund.

(3) Represents all realized proceeds combined with remaining fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(4) Multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) represents total fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by cumulative invested capital.

(5) An investment is considered realized when the investment fund has completely exited, and ceases to own an interest in, the investment. An investment is considered partially realized when the total amount of proceeds received in respect of such investment, including dividends, interest or other distributions and/or return of capital, represents at least 85% of invested capital and such investment is not yet fully realized. Because part of our value creation strategy involves pursuing best exit alternatives, we believe information regarding Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR, when considered together with the other investment performance metrics presented, provides investors with meaningful information regarding our investment performance by removing the impact of investments where significant realization activity has not yet occurred. Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR have limitations as measures of investment performance, and should not be considered in isolation. Such limitations include the fact that these measures do not include the performance of earlier stage and other investments that do not satisfy the criteria provided above. The exclusion of such investments will have a positive impact on Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR in instances when the MOIC and Gross IRR in respect of such investments are less than the aggregate MOIC and Gross IRR. Our measurements of Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR may not be comparable to those of other companies that use similarly titled measures. We do not present Realized/Partially Realized performance information separately for funds that are still in the investment period because of the relatively insignificant level of realizations for funds of this type. However, to the extent such funds have had realizations, they are included in the Realized/Partially Realized performance information presented for Total Corporate Private Equity and Total Real Assets.

(6) Fully Invested funds are past the expiration date of the investment period as defined in the respective limited partnership agreement. In instances where a successor fund has had its first capital call, the predecessor fund is categorized as fully invested.

(7) Gross Internal Rate of Return (“Gross IRR”) represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on contributions, distributions and unrealized value before management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(8) Net Internal Rate of Return (“Net IRR”) represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on contributions, distributions and unrealized value after management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(9) Aggregate includes the following funds: CP I, CMG, CVP I, CVP II, CUSGF III, CEVP, CETP I, CAVP I, CAVP II, CAGP III, Mexico, and MENA.

(10) Includes co-investments, prefund investments and certain other stand-alone investments arranged by us.

(11) Aggregate includes the following funds: CJP III, CGFSP II, CSABF, CCI, CSSAF, CETP II, CBPF and CPF I.

(12) For purposes of aggregation, funds that report in foreign currency have been converted to U.S. dollars at the reporting period spot rate.

(13) Aggregate includes the following funds: CRP I, CRP II, CAREP I, CAREP II, Energy I and Renew I.

(14) Aggregate includes the following fund: CIEP I, CRCP I and CPOCP.

(15) Represents the original cost of investments net of investment level recallable proceeds which is adjusted to reflect recyclability of invested capital for the purpose of calculating the fund MOIC.

(16) Includes private equity and mezzanine primary fund investments, secondary fund investments and co-investments originated by the AlpInvest team. Excluded from the performance information shown are a) investments that were not originated by AlpInvest and b) Direct Investments, which was spun off from AlpInvest in 2005. As of December 31, 2013, these excluded investments represent $0.7 billion of AUM.

(17) Fully Committed funds are past the expiration date of the commitment period as defined in the respective limited partnership agreement.

(18) To exclude the impact of FX, all foreign currency cash flows have been converted to Euro at the reporting period spot rate.

(19) Aggregate includes Main Fund I - Co-Investments, Main Fund I - Mezzanine Investments, AlpInvest CleanTech Funds and funds which are not included as part of a main fund.

(20) Represents the U.S. dollar equivalent balance translated at the spot rate as of period end.

(21) Returns are not considered meaningful, as the investment period commenced in May 2012 for CP VI and November 2012 for CAP IV.

Notes:

(1) Net asset value of our carry funds. Individually listed significant funds have remaining fair value of greater than $100 million.

(2) Unrealized Multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) represents remaining fair market value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by current investment cost.

(3) Total MOIC represents total fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by cumulative invested capital. For CSP I and CSP II, represents the original cost of investments, net of investment level recallable proceeds, which is adjusted to reflect recyclability of invested capital for the purpose of calculating the fund MOIC.

(4) Represents cumulative equity invested as of the reporting period divided by total commitments. Amount can be greater than 100% due to the re-investment of recallable distributions to fund investors.

(5) Fund has accrued carry/(clawback) as of the reporting period.

(6) Fund has realized carry in the last twelve months.

(7) Represents the date of the first capital contribution for management fees.

The Carlyle Group L.P.

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Other Key Terms

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Carlyle discloses in this press release 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:

— Economic net income or “ENI,” represents segment net income which excludes the impact of income taxes, acquisition-related items including amortization of acquired intangibles and contingent consideration taking the form of earn-outs, charges associated with equity-based compensation issued in Carlyle’s initial public offering or in acquisitions or strategic investments, corporate actions and infrequently occurring or unusual events. Carlyle believes the exclusion of these items provides investors with a meaningful indication of its core operating performance. For segment reporting purposes, revenues and expenses, and accordingly segment net income, are presented on a basis that deconsolidates certain Carlyle funds, related co-investment entities and CLOs (referred to collectively as the “Consolidated Funds”) that Carlyle consolidates in its consolidated financial statements pursuant to U.S. GAAP. For periods prior to its Initial Public Offering, ENI also reflects pro forma compensation expense for compensation to senior Carlyle professionals, which Carlyle has accounted for as distributions from equity rather than as employee compensation for periods prior to its Initial Public Offering. Total Segment ENI equals the aggregate of ENI for all segments. ENI and its components are evaluated regularly by management in making resource deployment decisions and in assessing performance of Carlyle’s four segments and for compensation. Carlyle believes that reporting ENI is helpful to understanding its business and that investors should review the same supplemental financial measure that management uses to analyze its segment performance.

— Fee-Related Earnings is a component of ENI and is used to measure Carlyle’s operating profitability excluding equity-based compensation, performance fees, investment income from investments in Carlyle’s funds and performance fee related compensation. Accordingly, Fee-Related Earnings reflect the ability of the business to cover direct base compensation and operating expenses from fee revenues other than performance fees. For periods prior to its Initial Public Offering, Fee-Related Earnings also reflects pro forma compensation expense for compensation to senior Carlyle professionals, which Carlyle has accounted for as distributions from equity rather than as employee compensation for periods prior to its Initial Public Offering. Fee-Related Earnings are reported as part of Carlyle’s segment results. Carlyle uses Fee-Related Earnings from operations to measure its profitability from fund management fees.

— Distributable Earnings is a component of ENI representing total ENI less net performance fees and investment income plus realized net performance fees and realized investment income and excluding equity-based compensation. Distributable Earnings is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of consolidation of the Consolidated Funds. Distributable Earnings is derived from Carlyle’s segment reported results and is an additional measure to assess performance and amounts potentially available for distribution from Carlyle Holdings to its equity holders.

Page  |  32

— Adjusted EBITDA is a component of ENI and is used to measure Carlyle’s ability to cover recurring operating expenses from cash earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as ENI excluding unrealized performance fees, unrealized performance fee compensation, unrealized investment income, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and equity-based compensation.

Income before provision for income taxes is the GAAP financial measure most comparable to ENI, Fee-Related Earnings, Distributable Earnings, and Adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to income before provision for income taxes are included within this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Other Key Terms

“Assets under management” or “AUM” refers to the assets managed by Carlyle. AUM equals the sum of the following:

(a) the fair value of the capital invested in Carlyle carry funds, co-investment vehicles, NGP management fee funds, NGP carry funds and fund of funds vehicles plus the capital that Carlyle is entitled to call from investors in those funds and vehicles (including Carlyle commitments to those funds and vehicles and those of senior Carlyle professionals and employees) pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to those funds and vehicles;

(b) the amount of aggregate collateral balance and principal cash at par of our CLOs (inclusive of all positions) and the reference portfolio notional amount of our synthetic CLOs;

(c) the net asset value (pre-redemptions and subscriptions) of Carlyle’s long/short credit, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic and other hedge funds; and

(d) the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage) of our Business Development Company.

AUM includes certain energy and renewable resources funds that Carlyle jointly advises with Riverstone Holdings L.L.C. (“Riverstone”) and certain NGP management fee funds and NGP carry funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. In addition, Carlyle’s calculation of AUM (but not Fee-Earning AUM) includes uncalled commitments to, and the fair value of invested capital in, investment funds from Carlyle and its personnel, regardless of whether such commitments or invested capital are subject to management or performance fees.

Page  |  33

“Available capital,” commonly known as “dry powder,” for Carlyle’s carry funds, NGP management fee funds, and NGP carry funds refers to the amount of capital commitments available to be called for investments. Amounts previously called may be added back to available capital following certain distributions.

“Carlyle funds,” “our funds” and “our investment funds” refer to the investment funds and vehicles advised by Carlyle.

“Carry funds” refers to those investment funds that Carlyle advises, including the buyout funds, growth capital funds, real estate funds, infrastructure funds, certain energy funds and distressed debt and mezzanine funds (but excluding Carlyle’s structured credit funds, hedge funds and fund of funds vehicles as well as the NGP funds), where Carlyle receives a special residual allocation of income, which is referred to as a “carried interest,” in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund.

“Expired available capital” occurs when a fund has passed the investment and follow-on periods and can no longer invest capital into new or existing deals. Any remaining available capital, typically a result of either recycled distributions or specific reserves established for the follow-on period that are not drawn, can only be called for fees and expenses and is therefore removed from the total AUM calculation.

“Fee-Earning assets under management” or “Fee-Earning AUM” refers to the assets managed by Carlyle from which Carlyle derives recurring fund management fees. Fee-Earning AUM generally equals the sum of:

(a) for carry funds and certain co-investment vehicles where the investment period has not expired and Metropolitan fund of funds vehicles where the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds has not expired, the amount of limited partner capital commitments, for AlpInvest fund of funds vehicles, the amount of external investor capital commitments during the commitment period, and for NGP management fee funds, the amount of investor capital commitments before the first investment realization;

(b) for substantially all carry funds and certain co-investment vehicles where the investment period has expired and Metropolitan fund of funds vehicles where the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds has expired, the remaining amount of limited partner invested capital and for NGP management fee funds where the first investment has been realized, the amount of partner commitments less realized and written-off investments;

(c) the amount of aggregate Fee-Earning collateral balance at par of our collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), as defined in the fund indentures (typically exclusive of equities and defaulted positions) as of the quarterly cut-off date for each CLO, and the reference portfolio notional amount of our synthetic collateralized loan obligations (“synthetic CLOs”);

Page  |  34

(d) the external investor portion of the net asset value (pre-redemptions and subscriptions) of our long/short credit, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic and other hedge funds; and

(e) for AlpInvest fund of funds vehicles where the commitment fee period has expired and certain carry funds where the investment period has expired, the lower of cost or fair value of invested capital.

Fee-Earning AUM includes certain energy and renewable resources funds that Carlyle jointly advises with Riverstone and certain NGP management fee funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management.

For Carlyle’s carry funds, co-investment vehicles, NGP management fee funds, NGP carry funds and fund of funds vehicles, total AUM includes the fair value of the capital invested, whereas Fee-Earning AUM includes the amount of capital commitments or the remaining amount of invested capital at cost, depending on whether the investment period for the fund has expired. As such, Fee-Earning AUM may be greater than total AUM when the aggregate fair value of the remaining investments is less than the cost of those investments.

“Fund of funds vehicles” refer to those funds, accounts and vehicles advised by AlpInvest Partners B.V. and Metropolitan Real Estate Equity Management, LLC.

“NGP carry funds” refers to those funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries) from which we are entitled to receive a carried interest.

“NGP management fee funds” refer to those funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries) from which we only receive management fees.

“Net performance fees” refers to the performance fees from Carlyle funds and fund of funds vehicles net of the portion allocated to Carlyle investment professionals which is reflected as performance fee related compensation expense.

“Performance fees” consist principally of carried interest from carry funds and certain fund of funds vehicles and incentive fees or allocations from certain of our Global Market Strategies funds. Carlyle is generally entitled to a 20% allocation (or 1.8% to 10% in the case of most of the fund of funds vehicles) of the net realized income or gain as a carried interest after returning the invested capital,

Page  |  35

the allocation of preferred returns of generally 8% to 9% and the return of certain fund costs (subject to catch-up provisions as set forth in the fund limited partnership agreement). Carried interest revenue, which is a component of performance fees in Carlyle’s consolidated financial statements, is recognized by Carlyle upon appreciation of the valuation of the applicable funds’ investments above certain return hurdles as set forth in each respective partnership agreement and is based on the amount that would be due to Carlyle pursuant to the fund partnership agreement at each period end as if the funds were liquidated at such date.

“Realized net performance fees” refers to the realized performance fees from Carlyle funds and fund of funds vehicles net of the portion allocated to Carlyle investment professionals which is reflected as realized performance fee related compensation expense.

“VIE” refers to a variable interest entity, as that term is defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation.
