We have not included the impact of Class B common stock because these shares are entitled to an insignificant amount of economic participation.

(a) Class A partnership units may be exchanged for Moelis & Company Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to applicable exchange restrictions. If all Class A partnership units were to be exchanged for Class A common stock, fully diluted Class A common stock outstanding would be 85,178,281 shares and 82,088,700 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 85,216,475 and 81,907,500 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In computing the dilutive effect, if any, that the aforementioned exchange would have on net income (loss) per share, net income (loss) available to holders of Class A common stock would be adjusted due to the elimination of the noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities associated with the Group LP Class A partnership units (including any tax impact). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, such exchange is not reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share as the assumed exchange is not dilutive.

(b) Certain RSUs assumed to be issued as Class A common stock pursuant to the treasury stock method were antidilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Moelis & Company for certain periods. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were 2,367,135 and 0 RSUs that would have been included in the treasury stock method calculation if the effect were dilutive, respectively, and 1,804,953 and 1,979 RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
