Blackstone Announces Intra-Quarter Realization Update Relating to the Second Quarter
NEW YORK – June 24, 2025 – Blackstone today announced its estimate of revenue related to realization activity for the period from April 1, 2025 to June 24, 2025. Based on information currently available, Blackstone preliminarily expects to record total Realized Performance Revenues and total Realized Principal Investment Income for such period in excess of $425 million. This estimate is almost entirely comprised of Realized Performance Revenues and includes revenue related to investment realizations closed to date in the second quarter, as well as certain non-fee related incentive fees that are included in Realized Performance Revenues and other investment income expected to be realized at quarter end.
The preliminary estimate regarding realization activity for the period from April 1, 2025 to June 24, 2025 disclosed above is not intended to predict or represent total Realized Performance Revenues, total Realized Principal Investment Income or total Segment Revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, and results for the full quarter may differ materially. This estimate does not include the results or impact of any other sources of income, including fee income, or expenses, and Blackstone may realize further gains or losses relating to total Realized Performance Revenues and total Realized Principal Investment Income for the full quarter. It is also not indicative of the results that may be expected for any other period, including the year ending December 31, 2025.
