NEW YORK—October 25, 2012Duff & Phelps Corporation (NYSE: DUF), a leading independent financial advisory and investment banking firm, today announced its third quarter 2012 financial results and declared a quarterly dividend.

Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, revenue excluding reimbursable expenses increased $16.4 million or 17.8% to $108.4 million, compared to $92.0 million for the corresponding prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter was $17.6 million, representing 16.2% of revenue excluding reimbursable expenses, compared to $15.4 million for the corresponding prior year quarter, representing 16.7% of revenue excluding reimbursable expenses. Net income attributable to Duff & Phelps Corporation was $5.7 million, or $0.15 per share of Class A common stock on a fully diluted basis, compared to $4.0 million, or $0.14 per share for the corresponding prior year quarter. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income(1) was $7.7 million, or $0.20 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis, compared to $7.4 million, or $0.20 per share, for the corresponding prior year quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, revenue excluding reimbursable expenses increased $64.3 million or 24.3% to $329.2 million, compared to $265.0 million for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the period was $56.7 million, representing 17.2% of revenue excluding reimbursable expenses, compared to $40.5 million for the corresponding prior year period, representing 15.3% of revenue excluding reimbursable expenses.

"I am pleased with the performance and momentum we are seeing from our services," commented Noah Gottdiener, chief executive officer.  "We continued to increase our revenue even in the face of a challenging market where there is minimal large-scale M&A activity and low defaults rates.  As a result of the pipeline in several key areas of the business, I expect our momentum to continue into the fourth quarter," continued Mr. Gottdiener.  "Furthermore, we remain poised to deliver additional growth when the M&A and restructuring markets rebound in the future."

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company also announced today that its board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share on its outstanding Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on November 16, 2012 to shareholders of record on November 6, 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income, and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income per share are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide a relevant and useful alternative measure of our ongoing profitability and performance. We believe the Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income, and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income per share, in addition to GAAP financial measures, provide a relevant and useful benchmark for investors, in order to assess our financial performance, ongoing operating results and comparability to other companies in our industry. These measures are utilized by our senior management to evaluate our overall performance.
    
We define Adjusted EBITDA as operating income before depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation originating prior to our IPO and associated with grants of ownership units of D&P Acquisitions and stock options granted in conjunction with our IPO and other items which are generally not part of our ongoing operations, including but not limited to restructuring charges and acquisition related expenses. We define Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income as net income before equity compensation associated with grants of ownership units of D&P Acquisitions and stock options granted in conjunction with our IPO, and certain items which are generally not part of our ongoing operations, including but not limited to restructuring charges and acquisition related expenses, less pro forma corporate income tax applied at an assumed effective corporate tax rate. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income per share consists of Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income divided by the fully dilutive weighted average number of the Company's Class A and Class B shares for the applicable period. These measures are reconciled in the tables below.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income per share are non-GAAP financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to measurements required by GAAP. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

_______________
(a)
The utilization rate for any given period is calculated by dividing the number of hours incurred by client service professionals who worked on client assignments (including internal projects for the Company) during the period by the total available working hours for all of such client service professionals during the same period, assuming a 40 hour work week, less paid holidays and vacation days. Utilization excludes client service professionals associated with certain property tax services due to the nature of the work performed and client service professionals from certain acquisitions prior to their transition to the Company's financial system.
(b)
Average billing rate-per-hour is calculated by dividing revenues for the period by the number of hours worked on client assignments (including internal projects for the Company) during the same period. Financial Advisory revenues used to calculate rate-per-hour exclude revenues associated with certain property tax engagements. The average billing rate excludes certain hours from our acquisitions prior to their transition to the Company's financial system.
