Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2015 include the combined operations of Evercore ISI.

Evercore’s quarterly results may fluctuate significantly due to the timing and amount of transaction fees earned, as well as other factors. Accordingly, financial results in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results over a longer period of time.

“Our business continues to perform well, delivering record second quarter and first half revenues and earnings, and enabling us to return $148.5 million to shareholders, the highest amount for any six month period in our history,” said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our advisory teams are extremely busy, with strong contributions this quarter in the energy, technology, healthcare and financial institutions sectors. Our ECM strategy is building momentum as we reported strong quarterly revenues and continue to grow our underwriting pipeline in multiple sectors. Notably, the proportion of book run transactions is increasing materially. Our Equities business continues to focus on growing revenues and managing costs, producing operating margins of 18% for the quarter and 17% for the first half. And our overall operating margins for the first half improved modestly compared to last year, despite the drag from a record recruiting year.”

“Once again, the firm’s Investment Banking business was strong. Both on the M&A side and on the equity capital markets side. And both in North America and outside it,” said Roger Altman, Executive Chairman.

Throughout the discussion of Evercore’s business segments, information is presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, which is an unaudited non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measure. Adjusted Pro Forma results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and then those results are adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of vested and unvested Evercore LP Units and Interests into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore’s results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore’s operating results. Evercore uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information about the Adjusted Pro Forma basis of reporting used by management to evaluate the performance of Evercore and each line of business, including reconciliations of U.S. GAAP results to an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, see pages A-2 through A-11 included in Annex I. These Adjusted Pro Forma amounts are allocated to the Company’s two business segments: Investment Banking and Investment Management.

During the quarter, Investment Banking earned advisory fees from 179 clients (vs. 150 in Q2 2014) and fees in excess of $1 million from 42 transactions (vs. 40 in Q2 2014). For the first six months of the year, Investment Banking earned advisory fees from 261 clients (vs. 215 last year) and fees in excess of $1 million from 77 transactions (vs. 72 last year).

During the second quarter of 2015 Commissions and Related Fees of $53.0 million increased 606% from last year, reflecting the acquisition of ISI. Underwriting Fees of $21.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased 123% versus the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 Commissions and Related Fees of $106.1 million increased 573% from last year, reflecting the acquisition of ISI.

Evercore ISI, our U.S. equities business, reported Net Revenues of $117.5 million, including allocated underwriting revenues of $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Operating margins as contemplated for the performance targets of the Class G and H LP Interests, giving effect to just Commissions and Related Fees, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were consistent with those assumed at the time of the closing of the transactions.

Expenses

Compensation costs were $140.5 million for the second quarter, an increase of 25% year-over-year. The trailing twelve-month compensation ratio was 58.6%, down from 60.2% a year ago. Evercore’s Investment Banking compensation ratio was 57.9% for the second quarter, down versus the compensation ratio reported for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of 59.4%. Year to-date compensation costs were $262.6 million, an increase of 40% from the prior year.

Non-compensation costs for the current quarter were $49.4 million, up 53% from the same period last year. The increase in costs versus the same period in the prior year reflects the addition of personnel within most parts of the business, including the acquisition of ISI, increased new business costs associated with higher levels of global transaction activity and higher professional fees. The ratio of non-compensation costs to net revenue for the current quarter was 20.4%, compared to 17.1% in the same quarter last year. Year-to-date non-compensation costs were $95.0 million, up 59% from the prior year. The ratio of non-compensation costs to revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 20.8%, compared to 18.9% last year, driven primarily by the higher non-compensation costs in the Evercore ISI equities business.

Management fees from Institutional Asset Management were $11.7 million, $11.1 million and $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively, and $22.8 million and $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, on a U.S. GAAP basis, excluding the reduction of revenues for client-related expenses.

(2)	Equity in G5 \| Evercore - Wealth Management and ABS on a U.S. GAAP basis are reclassified from Investment Management Revenue to Income from Equity Method Investments.

Investment Advisory and Management Fees of $21.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased 4% compared to the same period a year ago, driven primarily by higher fees in Wealth Management, reflecting higher levels of assets under management, partially offset by lower fees in Private Equity.

Realized and Unrealized Gains of $2.6 million in the quarter decreased relative to the prior year; with the change relative to the prior period driven principally by lower Private Equity gains, which by their nature fluctuate significantly in both timing and amount.

Equity in Earnings of Affiliates of $1.2 million in the quarter decreased relative to the prior year principally as a result of lower income earned in the second quarter of 2015 by G5 | Evercore.

Expenses

Investment Management’s second quarter expenses were $19.8 million, down 8% compared to the second quarter of 2014. Year-to-date Investment Management expenses were $39.8 million, down 3% from a year ago.

Other U.S. GAAP Adjustments

Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the exclusion of expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with certain of the Company’s acquisitions, Special Charges, certain other business acquisition-related charges and professional fees.

Acquisition-related compensation charges for 2015 include expenses associated with performance-based awards granted in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of ISI. The amount of expense is based on the determination that it is probable that Evercore ISI will achieve

certain earnings and margin targets in 2015 and in future periods. Special Charges for 2015 include separation benefits and costs associated with the termination of certain contracts within Evercore ISI and the finalization of a matter associated with the wind-down of the Company’s U.S. Private Equity business. Acquisition-related charges for 2015 include professional fees incurred related to the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of the operating businesses of ISI, as well as costs related to transitioning ISI’s infrastructure.

In addition, for Adjusted Pro Forma purposes, client related expenses have been presented as a reduction from Revenues and Non-compensation costs.

Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the inclusion of Evercore LP partnership units, as well as the assumed vesting of certain acquisition-related shares, LP Units/Interests and unvested restricted stock units granted to Lexicon and ISI employees.

Further details of these adjustments, as well as an explanation of similar amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, are included in Annex I, pages A-2 to A-11.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling Interests in certain operating subsidiaries are owned by the principals and strategic investors in these businesses. Evercore’s equity ownership percentages in these operating businesses range from 62% to 72%. For the periods ended June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 the gain (loss) allocated to non-controlling interests was as follows:


	Net Gain (Loss) Allocated to Noncontrolling Interests
	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2015		March 31, 2015			June 30, 2014			June 30, 2015		June 30, 2014

Total	$	1,211	$	315		$	641		$	1,526	$	1,194

(1)	The difference between the above Adjusted Pro Forma and U.S. GAAP Noncontrolling Interests relates primarily to intangible amortization expense for certain acquisitions, which we excluded from the Adjusted Pro Forma results.

Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, Evercore’s Adjusted Pro Forma effective tax rate was 37.3%, compared to 36.5% and 36.7%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Changes in the effective tax rate are principally driven by the level of earnings in businesses with minority owners and earnings generated outside of the U.S.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, Evercore’s U.S. GAAP effective tax rate was approximately 50.5% and 50.7%, respectively, compared to 34.1% and 34.8%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for U.S. GAAP purposes for 2015 reflects significant adjustments relating to the tax treatment of compensation associated with Evercore LP Units/Interests, state, local and foreign taxes, and other adjustments.

Balance Sheet

The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, holding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $282.2 million at June 30, 2015. Current assets exceed current liabilities by $286.1 million at June 30, 2015. Amounts due related to the Long-Term Notes Payable and Subordinated Borrowings were $128.8 million at June 30, 2015.

Capital Transactions

On July 20, 2015, the Board of Directors of Evercore declared a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share to be paid on September 11, 2015 to common stockholders of record on August 28, 2015.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 the Company repurchased approximately 728,000 shares at an average cost per share of $48.76, and a total of 2,475,000 shares/units in the first half of 2015 at an average price of $50.38.

A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP results to Adjusted Pro Forma results is presented in the tables included in Annex I.

Adjusted Pro Forma Results

Throughout the discussion of Evercore’s business segments, information is presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measure. Adjusted Pro Forma results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of vested and unvested Evercore LP Units, other IPO related restricted stock unit awards, as well as Acquisition Related Share Issuances and Unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to Lexicon and ISI employees, into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore’s results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore’s operating results. The Company uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These Adjusted Pro Forma amounts are allocated to the Company’s two business segments: Investment Banking and Investment Management. The differences between Adjusted Pro Forma and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:

Assumed Vesting of Evercore LP Units and Exchange into Class A Shares. The Company incurred expenses, in Employee Compensation and Benefits, resulting from the vesting of Class E LP Units issued in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI, as well as Class G and H LP Interests. The amount of expense for the Class G and H LP Interests is based on the determination that it is probable that Evercore ISI will achieve certain earnings and margin targets in 2015 and in future periods. The Adjusted Pro Forma results assume these LP Units and certain Class G and H LP Interests have vested and have been exchanged for Class A shares. Accordingly, any expense associated with these units, and related awards, is excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results, and the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. The Company’s Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed conversion of these previously granted equity interests, and thus the Adjusted Pro Forma results reflect the exchange of certain vested and unvested Evercore LP partnership units and interests and IPO related restricted stock unit awards into Class A shares.

Adjustments Associated with Business Combinations. The following charges resulting from business combinations have been excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results because the Company’s Management believes that operating performance is more comparable across periods excluding the effects of these acquisition-related charges:

Amortization of Intangible Assets and Other Purchase Accounting-related Amortization. Amortization of intangible assets and other purchase accounting-related amortization from the acquisitions of ISI, SFS and certain other acquisitions.

Compensation Charges. Expenses for deferred consideration issued to the sellers of certain of the Company’s acquisitions.

GP Investments. Write-off of General Partnership investment balances during the fourth quarter of 2013 associated with the acquisition of Protego.

Acquisition and Transition Costs. Primarily professional fees for legal and other services incurred during 2015 related to the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of the operating businesses of ISI, as well as costs related to transitioning ISI’s infrastructure.

Client Related Expenses. Client related expenses and provisions for uncollected receivables have been classified as a reduction of revenue in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation. The Company’s Management believes that this adjustment results in more meaningful key operating ratios, such as compensation to net revenues and operating margin.

A - 2

Professional Fees. The expense associated with share-based awards resulting from increases in the share price, which is required upon change in employment status, is excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results.

Special Charges. Expenses during 2015 primarily related to separation benefits and costs associated with the termination of certain contracts within the Company’s Evercore ISI business, and the finalization of a matter associated with the wind-down of the Company’s U.S. Private Equity business.

Income Taxes. Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, a C-Corporation and a Public Corporation and therefore, not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate-level taxes. As a result, adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma earnings to assume that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C-Corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates, that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within the structure on a consolidated basis and that adjustments for deferred tax assets related to the ultimate tax deductions for equity-based compensation awards are made directly to stockholders’ equity. This assumption is consistent with the assumption that certain Evercore LP Units and interests are vested and exchanged into Class A shares, as discussed in Item 1 above, as the assumed exchange would change the tax structure of the Company. In addition, the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation reflects the netting of changes in the Company’s Tax Receivable Agreement against Income Tax Expense.

Presentation of Interest Expense. The Adjusted Pro Forma results present interest expense on short-term repurchase agreements, within the Investment Management segment, in Other Revenues, net, as the Company’s Management believes it is more meaningful to present the spread on net interest resulting from the matched financial assets and liabilities. In addition, Adjusted Pro Forma Investment Banking and Investment Management Operating Income is presented before interest expense on debt, which is included in interest expense on a U.S. GAAP basis.

Presentation of Income from Equity Method Investments. The Adjusted Pro Forma results present Income from Equity Method Investments within Revenue as the Company’s Management believes it is a more meaningful presentation.

(8a)	The exclusion from the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation of expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets and other purchase accounting-related amortization from the acquisitions of ISI, SFS and certain other acquisitions.

A - 10

(8b)	Primarily professional fees for legal and other services incurred during 2015 related to the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of the operating businesses of ISI, as well as costs related to transitioning ISI’s infrastructure.

(8c)	The expense associated with share-based awards resulting from increases in the share price, which is required upon change in employment status, is excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results.

(9)

Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, a C-Corporation and a Public Corporation and therefore, not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate level taxes. As a result, adjustments have been made to Evercore’s effective tax rate assuming that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C-Corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates, that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within the structure on a consolidated basis and that, historically, adjustments for deferred tax assets related to the ultimate tax deductions for equity-based compensation awards are made directly to stockholders’ equity. In addition, the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation reflects the netting of changes in the Company’s Tax Receivable Agreement against Income Tax Expense.

(10)	Reflects adjustment to eliminate noncontrolling interest related to all Evercore LP partnership units which are assumed to be converted to Class A common stock in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation.

(11a)

Assumes the vesting, and exchange into Class A shares, of certain Evercore LP partnership units and interests and IPO related restricted stock unit awards in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP net income per share, the Evercore LP partnership units are anti-dilutive.

(11b)

Assumes the vesting of all Acquisition Related Share Issuances and Unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to Lexicon employees in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP, these Shares and Restricted Stock Units are reflected using the Treasury Stock Method.
