Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting 15. Segment Reporting
Carlyle conducts its operations through three reportable segments:
Global Private Equity – The Global Private Equity segment advises the Company’s buyout, middle market and growth
capital funds, its U.S. and internationally focused real estate funds, and its infrastructure and natural resources funds. The
segment also includes the NGP Carry Funds advised by NGP.
Global Credit –  The Global Credit segment advises funds and vehicles that pursue investment strategies including loans
and structured credit, direct lending, opportunistic credit, distressed credit, aircraft financing and servicing, infrastructure
debt, insurance solutions, asset-backed lending, and global capital markets.
Global Investment Solutions – The Global Investment Solutions segment advises global private equity programs and
related co-investment and secondary activities.
The Company’s reportable business segments are differentiated by their various investment focuses and strategies.
Overhead costs are generally allocated based on cash-based compensation and benefits expense for each segment. The
Company’s earnings from its investment in NGP are presented in the respective operating captions within the Global Private
Equity segment.
Distributable Earnings. Distributable Earnings, or “DE,” is a key performance benchmark used in the Company’s
industry and is evaluated regularly by management in making resource deployment and compensation decisions and in
assessing performance of the Company’s three reportable segments. Management also uses DE in budgeting, forecasting, and
the overall management of the Company’s segments. Management believes that reporting DE is helpful to understanding the
Company’s business and that investors should review the same supplemental financial measure that management uses to
analyze the Company’s segment performance. DE is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of
the consolidation of the Consolidated Funds. DE is derived from the Company’s segment reported results and is used to assess
performance.
Distributable Earnings differs from income (loss) before provision for income taxes computed in accordance with U.S.
GAAP in that it includes certain tax expenses associated with certain foreign performance revenues (comprised of performance
allocations and incentive fees), and does not include unrealized performance allocations and related compensation expense,
unrealized principal investment income, equity-based compensation expense, net income (loss) attributable to non-Carlyle
interests in consolidated entities, or charges (credits) related to Carlyle corporate actions and non-recurring items that affect
period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of the Company’s operational performance. Charges (credits) related to
Carlyle corporate actions and non-recurring items include: charges (credits) associated with acquisitions, dispositions or
strategic investments, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, amortization and any impairment charges associated
with acquired intangible assets, transaction costs associated with acquisitions and dispositions, charges associated with earn-
outs and contingent consideration including gains and losses associated with the estimated fair value of contingent
considerations issued in conjunction with acquisitions or strategic investments, impairment charges associated with lease right-
of-use assets, gains and losses from the retirement of debt, charges associated with contract terminations and employee
severance, certain general, administrative and other expenses when the timing of any future payment is uncertain, and non-
recurring items that affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of the Company’s operating performance.
Management believes the inclusion or exclusion of these items provides investors with a meaningful indication of the
Company’s core operating performance.
Fee Related Earnings. Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE,” is a component of DE and is used to assess the ability of the
business to cover base compensation and operating expenses from total fee revenues. FRE adjusts DE to exclude net realized
performance revenues, realized principal investment income, and net interest (interest income less interest expense). Fee
Related Earnings includes fee related performance revenues and related compensation expense, which is generally 45% of fee
related performance revenues. Fee related performance revenues represent the realized portion of performance revenues that are
measured and received on a recurring basis, are not dependent on realization events, and which have no risk of giveback.
The following tables present the financial data for the Company’s three reportable segments for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2024:
