Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC Reports

2011 Second Quarter Results

2011 Second Quarter Dividend of $0.14 per Class A Share

NEW YORK, August 2, 2011 – Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC (NYSE:OZM) (the “Company” or “Och-Ziff”) today reported a GAAP Net Loss⁽¹⁾ of $93.4 million, or $0.96 per basic and diluted Class A Share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011. The Company also declared a $0.14 per share cash dividend on its Class A Shares for the 2011 second quarter.

Summary Highlights

•

Distributable Earnings of $67.7 million, or $0.16 per Adjusted Class A Share, for the 2011 second quarter, 19% higher than $57.0 million, or $0.14 per Adjusted Class A Share, for the 2010 second quarter

•

Assets under management of $29.3 billion as of July 1, 2011, compared to $29.0 billion as of April 1, 2011 and 16% higher than $25.3 billion as of July 1, 2010

•

Estimated assets under management of $29.9 billion as of August 1, 2011, reflecting year-to-date capital net inflows of $1.1 billion and performance-related appreciation of $900 million

•

Estimated year-to-date net returns through July 31, 2011 of the OZ Master Fund of 3.4%, the OZ Europe Master Fund of 0.2%, the OZ Asia Master Fund of 2.2% and the OZ Global Special Investments Master Fund of 6.1%

“We again generated strong, risk-adjusted returns and preserved fund investor capital during the second quarter and in July,” said Dan Och, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Och-Ziff. “Our multi-strategy approach and international capabilities enabled us to be nimble in adjusting our portfolio allocations to take advantage of investment opportunities despite market conditions which became increasingly volatile. As a result, we continued to build on our long history of generating profits for our fund investors because we were able to capitalize on a range of opportunities across geographies.

“Investors continue to actively seek access to investment managers that generate risk-adjusted returns which have a low correlation to the equity markets and consistently protect capital. We believe that this focus has led to increased allocations to the hedge fund industry in the first half of this year, and that this acceleration will continue.”

GAAP NET LOSS ALLOCATED TO CLASS A SHAREHOLDERS

For the 2011 second quarter, Och-Ziff reported a GAAP Net Loss of $93.4 million, or $0.96 per basic and diluted Class A Share, compared to a GAAP Net Loss of $89.4 million, or $1.05 per basic and diluted Class A Share, for the 2010 second quarter. For the 2011 first half, Och-Ziff reported a GAAP Net Loss of $188.8 million, or $1.94 per basic and diluted Class A Share, compared to a GAAP Net Loss of $178.1 million, or $2.12 per basic and diluted Class A Share, for the 2010 first half.

The increase in the GAAP Net Loss for both periods was primarily due to an increase in the Company’s interest in its principal operating subsidiaries (the “Och-Ziff Operating Group”) due to the vesting of Class A Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and the exchange of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units (“Group A Units”) for Class A Shares. As a result of these exchanges, a larger share of the losses of the Och-Ziff Operating Group was allocated to the Company. Offsetting the increase in the GAAP Net Loss was an improvement in the results of the Och-Ziff Operating Group, driven primarily by increased revenues as well as lower non-cash expenses associated with the Company’s reorganization in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”).

The GAAP Net Loss in the 2011 second quarter and first half primarily resulted from non-cash expenses of $399.3 million and $805.2 million, respectively, associated with the Company’s reorganization in connection with its IPO in November 2007. These expenses are related to the amortization of Group A Units, which represent equity interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group that were issued to the Company’s pre-IPO owners in exchange for their pre-IPO interests in those subsidiaries. The Group A Units generally vest annually over five years through November 2012. Accordingly, the amortization of these expenses is expected to result in a GAAP Net Loss on an annual basis through 2012. Once vested, Group A Units may be exchanged on a one-to-one basis for Class A Shares.

Additionally, the GAAP Net Loss in the 2011 second quarter and first half was driven by non-cash expenses of $35.8 million and $69.3 million, respectively, for the amortization of equity-based compensation. This expense primarily relates to RSUs awarded to all of the Company’s employees in connection with its IPO, which vest annually over four years through November 2011, and subsequent compensation-related grants. Each RSU represents the right to receive one Class A Share upon vesting.

Throughout this press release, the Company presents financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a discussion of these non-GAAP measures, please see the discussion of “Non-GAAP and Segment Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS (NON-GAAP)

The Company’s Distributable Earnings for the 2011 second quarter were $67.7 million, or $0.16 per Adjusted Class A Share, 19% higher than $57.0 million, or $0.14 per Adjusted Class A Share, in the 2010 second quarter. Distributable Earnings for the 2011 first half were $132.9 million, or $0.32 per Adjusted Class A Share, 25% higher than $106.2 million, or $0.26 per Adjusted Class A Share, in the 2010 first half.

The increase for both periods was primarily attributable to higher management fees as a result of growth in the Company’s assets under management. Also contributing to the increase for the year-to-date period was higher incentive income, which was primarily due to amounts taken as tax distributions in the first quarter of 2011. These amounts are distributed to the Company to cover tax liabilities on incentive income which has been accrued by certain of the funds the Company manages, but will not be realized until the end of the relevant measurement period. These amounts relate to assets under management that have measurement periods of longer than one year. The higher revenues in both periods were partially offset by higher compensation and non-compensation expenses.

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure. For reconciliations of Distributable Earnings to the respective GAAP Net Losses for the periods discussed above, please see Exhibits 2 and 3 that accompany this press release. Additionally, please see the discussion of “Non-GAAP and Segment Financial Measures” at the end of this press release, including the definitions of Distributable Earnings and Adjusted Class A Shares.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT

Och-Ziff’s assets under management were $29.8 billion as of June 30, 2011, compared to $29.0 billion as of March 31, 2011 and $25.5 billion as of June 30, 2010. The $4.3 billion, or 17%, year-over-year increase was driven by performance-related appreciation of $2.7 billion and capital net inflows of $1.6 billion.

Please see important disclosures on Exhibit 7 that accompanies this press release.

ECONOMIC INCOME FOR THE OCH-ZIFF FUNDS SEGMENT

The Company conducts substantially all of its business through the Och-Ziff Funds segment, which is currently the Company’s only reportable segment under GAAP. This segment provides asset management services through the Company’s hedge funds and other alternative investment vehicles.

The measures discussed below are presented on an Economic Income basis. For reconciliations of these segment measures to the respective GAAP measures, please see Exhibits 2 through 5 that accompany this press release. Additionally, please see the discussion of “Non-GAAP and Segment Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

Total Revenues – Segment

Total revenues for the 2011 second quarter were $128.0 million, a 13% increase from total revenues of $113.0 million for the 2010 second quarter. Management fees were $120.5 million, 13% higher than management fees of $107.0 million in the prior-year period. Incentive income was $6.9 million compared to $5.5 million in the prior-year period.

Total revenues for the 2011 first half were $249.0 million, a 17% increase from total revenues of $213.1 million for the 2010 first half. Management fees were $234.2 million, 13% higher than management fees of $206.6 million in the prior-year period. Incentive income was $13.8 million compared to $5.7 million in the prior-year period.

The year-over-year increase in total revenues for both periods was primarily attributable to the increase in management fees resulting from growth in the Company’s assets under management. This growth was driven by a combination of performance-related appreciation and capital net inflows. The increase in incentive income for the year-to-date period was primarily due to amounts taken as tax distributions in the first quarter of 2011. These amounts are distributed to the Company to cover tax liabilities on incentive income which has been accrued by certain of

the funds the Company manages, but will not be realized until the end of the relevant measurement period. These amounts relate to assets under management that have measurement periods of longer than one year.

Compensation and Benefits – Segment

Compensation and benefits for the 2011 second quarter totaled $22.2 million, 33% higher than compensation and benefits of $16.7 million for the 2010 second quarter. Compensation and benefits for the 2011 first half totaled $44.7 million, 28% higher than compensation and benefits of $34.8 million for the 2010 first half. The increase for both periods was principally attributable to higher guaranteed bonus accruals. Also contributing to the increases were higher salaries and benefits due to increased headcount.

Non-Compensation Expenses – Segment

Non-compensation expenses for the 2011 second quarter were $21.3 million, essentially unchanged from the 2010 second quarter. Non-compensation expenses for the 2011 first half were $41.0 million, essentially unchanged from the 2010 first half.

Economic Income - Segment

Economic Income for the Och-Ziff Funds segment for the 2011 second quarter was $84.5 million, 13% higher than Economic Income of $74.6 million for the 2010 second quarter. Economic Income for the Och-Ziff Funds segment for the 2011 first half was $163.5 million, a 20% increase from Economic Income of $136.7 million for the 2010 first half. The increase for both periods was driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher compensation and benefits.

ECONOMIC INCOME FOR THE COMPANY’S OTHER OPERATIONS (NON-GAAP)

The Company’s Other Operations are currently comprised of its real estate business, which provides asset management services to its real estate funds, and investments in businesses established to expand certain of the Company’s private investment platforms. The businesses and investments within the Company’s Other Operations are not included in the results of the Och-Ziff Funds segment.

Economic Income for the Company’s Other Operations for the 2011 second quarter was $1.9 million, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million for the 2010 second quarter. Economic Income for the Company’s Other Operations for the 2011 first half was $3.4 million, compared to a net loss of $7.2 million for the 2010 first half. The improvement in both periods was principally due to higher management fees related to the launch of the Company’s second domestic real estate fund, as well as lower expenses associated with the Company’s Asia Real Estate business. These increases in Economic Income were partially offset by higher non-compensation expenses due to the reimbursement of organization expenses related to the Company’s new real estate fund recognized in 2010.

Economic Income for the Company’s Other Operations is a non-GAAP measure. For reconciliations of Economic Income for the Company’s Other Operations to the respective GAAP Net Losses for the periods discussed above, please see Exhibits 2 and 3 that accompany this press release. Additionally, please see the discussion of “Non-GAAP and Segment Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

ECONOMIC INCOME FOR THE COMPANY (NON-GAAP)

Economic Income for the Company for the 2011 second quarter was $86.4 million, a 21% increase from Economic Income of $71.6 million for the 2010 second quarter. Economic Income for the Company for the 2011 first half was $166.9 million, a 29% increase from Economic Income of $129.5 million for the 2010 first half. The increase for both periods was primarily due to increased revenues that were partially offset by higher compensation and non-compensation expenses.

Economic Income for the Company is a non-GAAP measure. For reconciliations of Economic Income for the Company to the respective GAAP Net Losses for the periods discussed above, please see Exhibits 2 and 3 that accompany this press release. Additionally, please see the discussion of “Non-GAAP and Segment Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

CAPITAL

As of June 30, 2011, the number of Class A Shares outstanding was 96,940,675. For purposes of calculating Distributable Earnings per Share, the Company assumes that all interests of its partners and the Ziffs in the Och-Ziff Operating Group (“Partner Units”) and RSUs outstanding during the period have been converted on a one-to-one basis into Class A Shares. For the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2011, the total weighted-average Adjusted Class A Shares outstanding were 415,222,891 and 415,127,555, respectively.

DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors of Och-Ziff authorized a 2011 second-quarter dividend of $0.14 per Class A Share. The dividend is payable on August 22, 2011 to holders of record as of the close of business on August 15, 2011. The ex-dividend date will be August 11, 2011.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the dividend will be treated as a partnership distribution. Based on the best information currently available, the Company estimates that when calculating withholding taxes, the entire amount of the 2011 second-quarter dividend will be treated as U.S. source dividend income.

Non-U.S. holders of Class A Shares are generally subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% (subject to reduction by applicable treaty or other exception) on their share of U.S. source dividends and certain other types of U.S. source income realized by the Company. With

respect to interest, however, no withholding is generally required if proper certification (on an IRS Form W-8) of a beneficial owner’s foreign status has been filed with the withholding agent. Non-U.S. holders must generally provide the withholding agent with a properly completed IRS Form W-8 to obtain any reduction in withholding.

Non-GAAP and Segment Financial Measures

In addition to analyzing the Company’s results on a GAAP basis, Och-Ziff’s management also reviews the Company’s results on an “Economic Income” basis. Economic Income for the Company, the Och-Ziff Funds segment and Other Operations excludes the adjustments described below that are required for presentation of the Company’s results on a GAAP basis, but that management does not consider when evaluating the operating performance of the Company in any given period. Management therefore uses Economic Income as the basis on which it evaluates the performance of the Company’s business and makes resource allocation and other operating decisions. Management considers it important that investors review the same operating information that it uses.

Economic Income is a measure of pre-tax operating performance that excludes the following from the Company’s results on a GAAP basis:

•

Income allocations to the Company’s partners and Ziff Investors Partnership, L.P. II and certain of its affiliates and control persons (the “Ziffs”) on their direct interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group. Management reviews operating performance at the Och-Ziff Operating Group level, where substantially all of the Company’s operations are performed, prior to making any income allocations;

•

Reorganization expenses related to the Company’s IPO, equity-based compensation expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses, as management does not consider these non-cash expenses to be reflective of operating performance;

•

Changes in the tax receivable agreement liability and net gains (losses) on investments in Och-Ziff funds, as management does not consider these items to be reflective of operating performance; and

•

Amounts related to the consolidated Och-Ziff funds, including the related eliminations of management fees and incentive income, as management reviews the total amount of management fees and incentive income earned in relation to total assets under management and fund performance.

In addition, deferred cash compensation expense and expenses related to compensation arrangements based on annual investment performance are recognized in full on the date they are determined (generally in the fourth quarter of each year), as management determines the total amount of compensation based on the Company’s performance in the year of the award.

Management evaluates Economic Income for the Och-Ziff Funds segment, the Company’s only reportable segment under GAAP, and for the Company’s Other Operations. Economic Income for Other Operations is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated on the same basis as the methodology that is used to calculate Economic Income for the Och-Ziff Funds segment. Economic Income for the Company is a non-GAAP measure that equals the sum of Economic Income for the Och-Ziff Funds segment and for the Company’s Other Operations.

As a result of the adjustments described above, management fees, compensation and benefits, non-compensation expenses and net loss (income) allocated to partners’ and others’ interests in consolidated subsidiaries are presented on an Economic Income basis for the Company’s Other Operations and the Company, and are also non-GAAP measures. No adjustments to the GAAP basis have been made for incentive income, other revenues and net gains (losses) on joint ventures.

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure of after-tax operating performance and equals Economic Income for the Company less Adjusted Income Taxes. Adjusted Income Taxes are estimated assuming the conversion of all outstanding Partner Units into Class A Shares, on a one-to-one basis. Therefore, all income (loss) of the Och-Ziff Operating Group allocated to the partners is treated as if it were allocated to Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC. Partner Units represent interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group held by the partners and the Ziffs, including the Group A Units and other non-equity profits interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group that may convert into Group A Units upon the occurrence of certain events. Distributable Earnings per Share is equal to Distributable Earnings divided by the weighted-average number of Adjusted Class A Shares. Adjusted Class A Shares are determined assuming all Partner Units and RSUs are converted on a one-to-one basis into Class A Shares. Management uses Distributable Earnings, among other financial data, to determine the earnings available to distribute as dividends to holders of the Company’s Class A Shares and to the Company’s partners and the Ziffs with respect to their Partner Units.

The Company’s non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to the Company’s GAAP Net Loss or cash flow from operations, or as indicative of liquidity or the cash available to fund operations. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included in Exhibits 2 through 5 attached to this press release.

Past performance is no indication or guarantee of future results.

(1)

Net return represents a composite of the average return of the feeder funds that comprise each of the Company’s most significant master funds. Net return is presented on a total return basis, net of all fees and expenses of the relevant fund (except incentive income on certain unrealized private investments that could reduce returns on these investments at the time of realization) and includes the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. Performance includes realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to certain private and initial public offering investments that are not allocated to all investors in the funds. Investors who do not participate in such investments or that pay different fees may experience materially different returns.

(2)

This comparison shows the returns of the S&P 500 Index (SPTR) (the “S&P 500 Index”) against certain Och-Ziff funds (the “funds”). This comparison is intended solely for illustrative purposes to show the historical lack of correlation of the funds compared to the broader markets, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, and should not be considered as an indication of how the funds will perform relative to the S&P 500 Index in the future. The S&P 500 Index is not a performance benchmark of the funds. The funds are not managed to correlate in any way with the returns or composition of the S&P 500 Index, which is unmanaged. It is not possible to invest in an unmanaged index. You should not assume that there is any material overlap between the securities in the funds and those that comprise the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is an equity index whose value is calculated as the free-float weighted average of the share prices of the 500 large-cap companies listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ. Returns of the S&P 500 Index have not been reduced by fees and expenses associated with investing in securities and include the reinvestment of dividends.
