•	$244 million of Distributable Earnings on a pre-tax basis for Q3 2015 and $1.1 billion over the last twelve months; $0.74 per common unit on a post-tax basis in Q3 2015


•	Declared a quarterly distribution of $0.56 per common unit for Q3 2015; Aggregate distribution of $1.78 per common unit for the first three quarters of 2015


•	$4.6 billion in net new capital raised in Q3 2015 and $18.6 billion raised over the last twelve months


•	$3.7 billion in realized proceeds in Q3 2015 and $19.6 billion realized over the last twelve months

•	Economic Net Income (Loss) of $(128) million on a pre-tax basis and $(0.43) per Adjusted Unit on a post-tax basis, driven by 4% carry fund portfolio depreciation in Q3 2015


•	U.S. GAAP net loss attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. of $(84) million, or $(1.11) per common unit on a diluted basis, for Q3 2015

Washington, DC – Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group L.P. (NASDAQ: CG) today reported its unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Carlyle Co-CEO David M. Rubenstein said, “Carlyle's diverse platform produced strong cash flows during the third quarter despite global market declines. Our fund investors continued to entrust us with significant new capital as long term performance remains strong and our investment capabilities continue to expand. Third quarter Economic Net Income was largely driven by portfolio valuations on the final day of September, and since then global markets and valuations have moved higher. Our core business trends remain unaffected by these short term movements.”

Carlyle Co-CEO William E. Conway, Jr. said, “The fundamentals of our business are healthy and our portfolio is in good shape. We recently announced a number of attractive new investments and exits which should close in the coming few quarters, positioning us to deploy capital at a level in line with our historic pace and generating attractive levels of Distributable Earnings for our unitholders.”

U.S. GAAP results for Q3 2015 included loss before provision for income taxes of $(529) million, and net loss attributable to the common unitholders through The Carlyle Group L.P. of $(84) million, or net loss per common unit of $(1.11), on a diluted basis. Total balance sheet assets were $33 billion as of September 30, 2015.

Global Market Strategies Intangible Asset Impairment

Our U.S. GAAP financial results for Q3 2015 included the effect of a previously reported non-cash impairment charge related to the intangible assets associated with the credit hedge funds managed by Claren Road Asset Management L.L.C. (“Claren Road”) within our Global Market Strategies segment. When including the reduction of the related liabilities for contingent consideration associated with Claren Road, the pre-tax net charge in Carlyle’s U.S. GAAP financial results for the third quarter was ($162) million.

Third Quarter Distribution

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.56 per common unit to holders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2015, payable on November 24, 2015.

Distribution Policy

It is Carlyle’s intention to cause Carlyle Holdings to make quarterly distributions to its partners, including The Carlyle Group L.P.’s wholly owned subsidiaries, that will enable The Carlyle Group L.P. to pay a quarterly distribution of approximately 75% of Distributable Earnings per common unit, net of taxes and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreement, for the quarter. Carlyle’s general partner may adjust the distribution for amounts determined to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and its funds or to comply with applicable law or any of its financing agreements, or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and distributions to unitholders for any ensuing quarter. The amount to be distributed could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. The declaration and payment of any distributions is at the sole discretion of Carlyle’s general partner, which may change or eliminate the distribution policy at any time.

Carlyle All Segment Results


•	Distributable Earnings (DE): $244 million for Q3 2015 and $1.1 billion on an LTM basis


◦	Distributable Earnings were $244 million for Q3 2015, or $0.74 per common unit on a post-tax basis, compared to $157 million for Q3 2014. DE was $1.1 billion on an LTM basis, 2% higher than the prior LTM.

◦

Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $57 million for Q3 2015, compared to $62 million for Q3 2014. The decline versus Q3 2014 was primarily due to a $17 million decrease in transaction fee revenue and $7 million in lower management fees, partially offset by $21 million in lower compensation, excluding equity compensation and performance fee related compensation. FRE was $223 million on an LTM basis, 2% higher than the prior LTM.


◦	Realized Net Performance Fees were $177 million for Q3 2015, compared to $98 million for Q3 2014. For Q3 2015, realized net performance fees were positively impacted by exits in Axalta, Telecable, and Healthscope, among others, multiple U.S. Real Estate investments and the Cedar Bay Power investment. Realized Net Performance Fees were $952 million on an LTM basis, 15% higher than the prior LTM.


◦	Realized Investment Income was $9 million in Q3 2015, with $16 million attributable to realized gains on balance sheet investments offset by a $(7) million realized loss for Urbplan Desenvolvimento Urbano S.A. (“Urbplan”).


•	Economic Net Income (Loss) (ENI): $(128) million for Q3 2015 and $504 million on an LTM basis


◦	Q3 2015 ENI was negatively impacted by lower carry fund valuations in Corporate Private Equity and Global Market Strategies, resulting in net performance fees of $(149) million. On an LTM basis, ENI of $504 million was 62% lower than the prior LTM.

◦

Carlyle generated ENI per Adjusted Unit of $(0.43) on a post-tax basis for Q3 2015. The third quarter included an ENI tax provision of $12 million primarily related to Fee Related Earnings and gains in certain Real Assets funds and other investments that are subject to taxation. There are no tax benefits on the majority of the losses on Corporate Private Equity fund investments since they are not subject to taxation.

Carry Fund Performance and Net Accrued Performance Fees

Carlyle's carry fund portfolio valuations decreased 4% during Q3 2015. Over the past twelve months, Carlyle’s carry fund portfolio valuation increased 6%. The carry fund public portfolio depreciated 12% during Q3 2015 while the carry fund private portfolio depreciated 1%. Third quarter valuations were negatively impacted by market volatility in the quarter, resulting in overall depreciation in our Buyout, Natural Resources, Legacy Energy and GMS carry funds. This was partially offset by strong appreciation across our U.S. Real Estate and Power funds.

As of Q3 2015, net accrued performance fees of $1.3 billion were down from $1.6 billion at the end of Q2 2015. In addition to the negative valuation impact, this decrease was driven by strong exit activity in our Corporate Private Equity and Real Estate funds and a high level of realized performance fees. As of Q3 2015, energy-related net accrued performance fees across Natural Resources, Legacy Energy and Global Market Strategies were $(66) million, representing 5% of total firm net accrued performance fees. Within our Legacy Energy funds, our incremental potential future ENI loss is approximately $(8) million.

(1) Appreciation/(Depreciation) represents unrealized gain/(loss) for the period on a total return basis before fees and expenses. The percentage of return is calculated as: ending remaining investment fair market value plus net investment outflow (sales proceeds minus net purchases) minus beginning remaining investment fair market value divided by beginning remaining investment fair market value. Fund only, does not include co-investment.

(2) Carlyle’s “carry funds” refer to (i) those investment funds that we advise, including the buyout funds, growth capital funds, real estate funds, infrastructure funds, certain energy funds and opportunistic credit, distressed debt and mezzanine funds (but excluding our structured credit/other structured product funds, hedge funds, business development companies, mutual fund, and fund of funds vehicles), where we receive a special residual allocation of income, which we refer to as a carried interest, in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund and (ii) those investment funds advised by NGP from which we are entitled to receive a carried interest.

(3) We generally earn performance fees (or carried interest) from our carry funds representing a 20% allocation of profits generated on third-party capital after returning the invested capital, the allocation of preferred returns of generally 8% or 9% and return of certain fund costs. Our net interest in the performance fees after allocations to our investment professionals or other parties varies based on each fund. For our Corporate Private Equity, Global Market Strategies, Real Estate and Natural Resources carry funds (excluding NGP) our net interest in performance fees is generally 55%. Our net interest in the performance fees from the NGP carry funds ranges from 40% to 47.5%. Our net interest in the performance fees from our Legacy Energy carry funds generally ranges from 16% to 40%, with a weighted average of 20% based on remaining fair value invested.

(4) Natural Resources is comprised of NGP, infrastructure, power, and international energy funds.

(5) Includes structured credit/other structured product funds, hedge funds, business development companies, mutual fund, and fund of funds vehicles.

Assets Under Management and Remaining Fair Value of Capital


•	Total Assets Under Management: $187.7 billion as of Q3 2015 (-7% LTM)


◦	Major drivers of change versus Q2 2015: Commitments, net of expired capital (+$3.9 billion), offset by net distributions (-$6.4 billion), market depreciation (-$1.8 billion), net redemptions (-$0.6 billion) and foreign exchange impact (-$0.1 billion).


◦	Total Dry Powder of $63.2 billion as of Q3 2015, comprised of $27.5 billion in Corporate Private Equity, $3.9 billion in Global Market Strategies, $16.7 billion in Real Assets and $15.1 billion in Investment Solutions.


•	Fee-Earning Assets Under Management: $128.1 billion as of Q3 2015 (-9% LTM)

◦

As of Q3 2015, we had $12.6 billion of recently raised capital for which we have not yet commenced charging management fees. We expect that approximately two-thirds of this pending capital will move into Fee-Earning AUM and begin charging management fees by early 2016, with the remainder impacting Fee-Earning AUM as capital is deployed. As previously disclosed, our credit hedge funds had redemption requests of approximately $1.9 billion during the third quarter, which will be paid over the next several quarters, starting in Q4 2015.

◦

Major drivers of change versus Q2 2015: Inflows, including fee-paying commitments (+$2.9 billion) and foreign exchange increases (+$0.1 billion), offset by net distributions and outflows (-$3.4 billion) and net redemptions (-$0.6 billion). Over the LTM, the impact of foreign exchange on our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds has negatively impacted Fee-Earning AUM by $4.5 billion, or more than 35% of the total year-over-year change.


◦	Fee-Earning AUM was positively impacted during the third quarter by final commitments into Carlyle’s latest vintage Europe and Japan buyout and U.S. Real Estate funds, additional commitments to our second Power fund, new CLOs and several Investment Solutions vehicles.


•	Remaining Fair Value of Capital (carry funds only) as of Q3 2015: $56.8 billion


◦	Current Multiple of Invested Capital (MOIC) of remaining fair value of capital: 1.2x.


◦	Total Fair Value derived from investments made in 2010 or earlier: 30%.


◦	AUM in-carry ratio as of the end of Q3 2015: 50%. The decline versus the prior quarter primarily is due to distributions and fair value declines in our funds in carry and the latest vintage Asia growth fund moving out of an accrued carry position.

Note: Data as of September 30, 2015. (1) Fair value of remaining carry fund capital in the ground, by vintage. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

•	Distributable Earnings (DE): $178 million for Q3 2015 and $981 million on an LTM basis, compared to $813 million for the prior LTM. The following components impacted DE in Q3 2015:

◦

Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $29 million for Q3 2015, compared to $38 million for Q3 2014. The decline in Q3 2015 was driven by lower transaction fees of $1 million in Q3 2015 compared to $17 million in Q3 2014, and was partially offset by cash compensation expense that was $11 million lower compared to Q3 2014. Catch-up management fees were $21 million in Q3 2015, consistent with Q3 2014. FRE was $122 million on an LTM basis, compared to $100 million for the prior LTM.


◦	Realized Net Performance Fees were $138 million for Q3 2015, compared to $72 million for Q3 2014. Carlyle Partners V and Carlyle Europe Partners III generated the majority of CPE's realized net performance fees in Q3 2015. Realized Net Performance Fees were $829 million on an LTM basis, compared to $692 million for the prior LTM.


◦	Realized Investment Income was $11 million for Q3 2015, compared to $6 million for Q3 2014. Results for Q3 2015 were largely driven by realized gains in our buyout and growth funds. Realized Investment Income was $29 million on an LTM basis, compared to $21 million for the prior LTM.

•

Economic Net Income (Loss) (ENI): $(130) million for Q3 2015 and $573 million on an LTM basis, compared to $1.2 billion for the prior LTM. The LTM decline relative to the prior LTM was due to both the ENI loss in the current quarter, as well as several significant funds, including Carlyle Europe Partners III and Carlyle Asia Partners III, moving into an accrued carry position during Q4 2013, resulting in a cumulative catch-up of performance fees earned as of such date.


◦	CPE carry fund valuations decreased 3% in Q3 2015 and increased 16% on an LTM basis, compared to an increase of 3% for Q3 2014.


◦	Net Performance Fees were $(141) million for Q3 2015, compared to $124 million for Q3 2014. Net Performance Fees were $488 million on an LTM basis, compared to $1.1 billion for the prior LTM.


•	Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $63.1 billion as of Q3 2015 (-1% LTM).


◦	Funds Raised in Q3 2015 of $2.8 billion include final closings of our latest vintage Europe and Japan buyout funds, as well as an additional closing in our second U.S. mid-market buyout fund.


◦	Fee-Earning Assets Under Management of $40.7 billion increased 1% from Q2 2015 and decreased 3% versus Q3 2014. Major drivers of change versus Q2 2015: inflows, including fee-paying commitments (+$1.0 billion) offset by (-$0.7 billion) in outflows, including distributions and basis step downs.

•	Distributable Earnings (DE): $15 million for Q3 2015 and $52 million on an LTM basis, compared to $170 million for the prior LTM. The decline in LTM Distributable Earnings compared to the prior LTM period is largely attributable to a decline in hedge fund related management fees and realized net performance fees. The following components impacted DE in Q3 2015:


◦	Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $6 million for Q3 2015, compared to $14 million for Q3 2014. The decline in Q3 2015 relative to Q3 2014 was driven by lower management fees from our hedge fund partnerships, offset by lower cash compensation expense. FRE was $26 million on an LTM basis, compared to $68 million for the prior LTM.


◦	Realized Net Performance Fees were $6 million for Q3 2015, compared to $5 million for Q3 2014. Realized net performance fees during these periods were driven primarily by incentive fees earned from our structured credit products and business development companies. Realized Net Performance Fees were $18 million on an LTM basis, compared to $93 million for the prior LTM.


◦	Realized Investment Income was $3 million for Q3 2015, compared to $4 million in Q3 2014. Realized Investment Income was $8 million on an LTM basis, in line with $8 million for the prior LTM.


•	Economic Net Income (Loss) (ENI): $(28) million for Q3 2015 and $(6) million on an LTM basis, compared to $168 million for the prior LTM.


◦	GMS carry fund valuations decreased 9% in Q3 2015, as compared to 6% appreciation in Q3 2014. The asset-weighted hedge fund performance of our reported funds was (4)% in Q3 2015.


◦	Net Performance Fees of $(27) million for Q3 2015, compared to $(8) million for Q3 2014, primarily as a result of depreciation in GMS carry funds compared to Q3 2014. Net Performance Fees were $(8) million on an LTM basis, compared to $102 million for the prior LTM.


•	Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $35.5 billion as of Q3 2015 (-9% LTM).


◦	Fee-Earning AUM of $29.5 billion decreased 6% versus Q2 2015 and 15% versus Q3 2014.


◦	Total hedge fund AUM ended Q3 2015 at $9.3 billion, versus $10.2 billion at Q2 2015 and $15.2 billion at Q3 2014. As previously disclosed, our credit hedge funds had redemption requests of approximately $1.9 billion during the third quarter which will be paid over the next several quarters, starting in Q4 2015.


◦	GMS carry fund AUM ended Q3 2015 at $6.2 billion.


◦	Total structured credit/other structured product fund AUM ended Q3 2015 at $18.8 billion.

•	Distributable Earnings (DE): $47 million for Q3 2015 and, excluding the impact of the Q1 2015 French tax judgment, $113 million on an LTM basis, compared to $34 million for the prior LTM. The following components impacted DE in Q3 2015.


◦	Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $20 million for Q3 2015, compared to $3 million for Q3 2014. The increase in Q3 2015 is due to higher management fee revenue relative to Q3 2014, driven by fundraising and catch-up management fees from Carlyle Realty Partners VII and Carlyle Power Partners II. FRE was $60 million on an LTM basis, compared to $14 million for the prior LTM.


◦	Realized Net Performance Fees were $32 million for Q3 2015, compared to $19 million for Q3 2014. Carlyle Realty Partners VI and Carlyle Power Opportunities Capital Partners generated the majority of realized net performance fees in Q3 2015. Realized Net Performance Fees were $97 million on an LTM basis, compared to $29 million for the prior LTM.


◦	Realized Investment Income (Loss) was $(5) million for Q3 2015, compared to $(13) million for Q3 2014. The loss in Q3 2015 is largely attributable to a $(7) million realized investment loss in Urbplan. Excluding the impact of the Q1 2015 French tax judgment of $(80) million, realized investment income (loss) was $(44) million on an LTM basis, compared to $(9) million for the prior LTM.


•	Economic Net Income (Loss) (ENI): $26 million for Q3 2015 and, excluding the impact of the Q1 2015 French tax judgment, $(47) million on an LTM basis, compared to $(48) million for the prior LTM.


◦	Real Assets carry fund valuations decreased 5% in Q3 2015, compared to 2% appreciation in Q3 2014.


◦	Net Performance Fees were $16 million for Q3 2015, compared to $20 million for Q3 2014. In Q3 2015 net performance fees were positively impacted by multiple U.S. Real Estate funds and our first Power fund, partially offset by Legacy Energy funds. Net Performance Fees were $(72) million on an LTM basis, compared to $55 million for the prior LTM.


•	Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $40.2 billion for Q3 2015 (-12% LTM).


◦	Funds Raised in Q3 2015 of $0.9 billion were driven largely by closings in our latest vintage U.S. Real Estate and Power funds.

◦

Fee-Earning AUM of $28.5 billion in Q3 2015 increased by 1% versus Q2 2015 and 1% versus Q3 2014. Fee-Earning AUM excludes $4.3 billion of funds raised for NGP XI and NGP GAP, which will be included in Fee-Earning AUM as assets are invested or respective funds are turned on. NGP XI will turn on fees on remaining capital by early 2016. Major drivers of change versus Q2 2015: inflows, including fee-paying commitments (+$1.1 billion), partially offset by outflows, including distributions (-$0.6 billion).

•	Distributable Earnings (DE): $3 million for Q3 2015 and $22 million on an LTM basis, compared to $46 million for the prior LTM.

◦

Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $3 million for Q3 2015, compared to $8 million for Q3 2014. The decrease in Q3 2015 relative to Q3 2014 was largely attributable to foreign currency impacts on management fees and reductions in Fee-Earning Assets Under Management caused by basis step downs, redemptions and realizations, partially offset by lower compensation. FRE was $14 million on an LTM basis, compared to $36 million for the prior LTM.


◦	Realized Net Performance Fees were $1 million for Q3 2015, compared to $2 million for Q3 2014. Realized Net Performance Fees were $8 million on an LTM basis, compared to $10 million for the prior LTM.


•	Economic Net Income (ENI) was $4 million for Q3 2015 and $19 million on an LTM basis, compared to $50 million for the prior LTM.


◦	Net Performance Fees were $4 million for Q3 2015, compared to $4 million in Q3 2014. Net Performance Fees were $13 million on an LTM basis, compared to $17 million for the prior LTM.


•	Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $48.9 billion for Q3 2015 (-10% LTM).


◦	Total AUM declined 10% from Q3 2014 due to distributions of $11.3 billion, negative foreign exchange impact of $4.6 billion, and net redemptions of $0.8 billion, partially offset by $8.7 billion in market appreciation and $3.0 billion in new commitments.


•	Fee-Earning AUM of $29.4 billion in Q3 2015 was down 4% versus Q2 2015 and was down 17% compared to Q3 2014. Major drivers of change versus Q2 2015: Inflows including fee-paying commitments (+$0.8 billion), an increase in foreign exchange (+$0.1 billion) and net subscriptions (+$0.1 billion), offset by outflows including distributions and basis step downs (-$1.8 billion).

(1) The data presented herein that provides “inception to date” performance results of our segments relates to the period following the formation of the first fund within each segment. For our Corporate Private Equity segment our first fund was formed in 1990. For our Real Assets segment our first fund was formed in 1997.

(2) Represents the original cost of all capital called for investments since inception of the fund.

(3) Represents all realized proceeds combined with remaining fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(4) Multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) represents total fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by cumulative invested capital.

(5) An investment is considered realized when the investment fund has completely exited, and ceases to own an interest in, the investment. An investment is considered partially realized when the total amount of proceeds received in respect of such investment, including dividends, interest or other distributions and/or return of capital, represents at least 85% of invested capital and such investment is not yet fully realized. Because part of our value creation strategy involves pursuing best exit alternatives, we believe information regarding Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR, when considered together with the other investment performance metrics presented, provides investors with meaningful information regarding our investment performance by removing the impact of investments where significant realization activity has not yet occurred. Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR have limitations as measures of investment performance, and should not be considered in isolation. Such limitations include the fact that these measures do not include the performance of earlier stage and other investments that do not satisfy the criteria provided above. The exclusion of such investments will have a positive impact on Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR in instances when the MOIC and Gross IRR in respect of such investments are less than the aggregate MOIC and Gross IRR. Our measurements of Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR may not be comparable to those of other companies that use similarly titled measures. We do not present Realized/Partially Realized performance information separately for funds that are still in the investment period because of the relatively insignificant level of realizations for funds of this type. However, to the extent such funds have had realizations, they are included in the Realized/Partially Realized performance information presented for Total Corporate Private Equity and Total Real Assets.

(6) Fully Invested funds are past the expiration date of the investment period as defined in the respective limited partnership agreement. In instances where a successor fund has had its first capital call, the predecessor fund is categorized as fully invested.

(7) Gross Internal Rate of Return (“Gross IRR”) represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on contributions, distributions and unrealized value before management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(8) Net Internal Rate of Return (“Net IRR”) represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on contributions, distributions and unrealized value after management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(9) Aggregate includes the following funds: CP I, CMG, CVP I, CVP II, CUSGF III, CEVP, CETP I, CAVP I, CAVP II, CAGP III, Mexico, and MENA.

(13) For purposes of aggregation, funds that report in foreign currency have been converted to U.S. dollars at the reporting period spot rate.

(14) Aggregate includes the following funds: CRP I, CRP II, CAREP I, CAREP II, CRCP I, CPOCP, Energy I and Renew I.

(15) Aggregate includes the following funds: CPP II and NGP GAP. Returns are not considered meaningful, as the investment period commenced in June 2014 for CPP II and December 2013 for NGP GAP.

(16) The data presented herein that provides “inception to date” performance results for CSP II and CEMOF I related to the period following the formation of the funds in June 2007 and December 2010, respectively.

(17) Represents the original cost of investments net of investment level recallable proceeds which is adjusted to reflect recyclability of invested capital for the purpose of calculating the fund MOIC.

(18) Fully Committed funds are past the expiration date of the commitment period as defined in the respective limited partnership agreement.

(19) Includes private equity and mezzanine primary fund investments, secondary fund investments and co-investments originated by the AlpInvest team. Excluded from the performance information shown are a) investments that were not originated by AlpInvest, b) Direct Investments, which was spun off from AlpInvest in 2005 and c) Metropolitan Real Estate fund of funds vehicles. As of September 30, 2015, these excluded investments represent $0.6 billion of AUM at AlpInvest and $1.7 billion of AUM at Metropolitan.

(20) For purposes of aggregation, funds that report in foreign currency have been converted to Euro at the reporting period spot rate.

(21) Aggregate includes Main Fund I - Co-Investments, Main Fund I - Mezzanine Investments, Main Fund IV - Mezzanine Investments, Main Fund V - Mezzanine Investments, AlpInvest CleanTech Funds and funds which are not included as part of a main fund.

The Carlyle Group L.P.

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Other Key Terms

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Carlyle discloses in this press release the following financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America:

•

Economic net income or “ENI,” represents segment net income which includes certain tax expense associated with performance fee compensation and excludes the impact of all other income taxes, acquisition-related items including amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles and contingent consideration taking the form of earn-outs, charges associated with equity-based compensation issued in Carlyle’s initial public offering or in acquisitions or strategic investments, corporate actions and infrequently occurring or unusual events. Carlyle believes the inclusion or exclusion of these items provides investors with a meaningful indication of its core operating performance. For segment reporting purposes, revenues and expenses, and accordingly segment net income, are presented on a basis that deconsolidates certain Carlyle funds, related co-investment entities and CLOs (referred to collectively as the “Consolidated Funds”) that Carlyle consolidates in its consolidated financial statements pursuant to U.S. GAAP. Total Segment ENI equals the aggregate of ENI for all segments. ENI and its components are evaluated regularly by management in making resource deployment decisions and in assessing performance of Carlyle’s four segments and for compensation. Carlyle believes that reporting ENI is helpful to understanding its business and that investors should review the same supplemental financial measure that management uses to analyze its segment performance.

•

Fee-Related Earnings is a component of ENI and is used to measure Carlyle’s operating profitability excluding equity-based compensation, performance fees, investment income from investments in Carlyle’s funds and performance fee related compensation. Accordingly, Fee-Related Earnings reflect the ability of the business to cover base compensation and operating expenses from fee revenues other than performance fees. Fee-Related Earnings are reported as part of Carlyle’s segment results. Carlyle uses Fee-Related Earnings from operations to measure its profitability from fund management fees.

•

Distributable Earnings is a component of ENI representing total ENI less net performance fees and investment income plus realized net performance fees and realized investment income and excluding equity-based compensation. Distributable Earnings is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of consolidation of the Consolidated Funds. Distributable Earnings is derived from Carlyle’s segment reported results and is an additional measure to assess performance and amounts potentially available for distribution from Carlyle Holdings to its unitholders.


•	Adjusted EBITDA is a component of ENI and is used to measure Carlyle’s ability to cover recurring operating expenses from cash earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as ENI excluding unrealized performance fees, unrealized performance fee compensation, unrealized investment income, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and equity-based compensation.

Income before provision for income taxes is the GAAP financial measure most comparable to ENI, Fee-Related Earnings, Distributable Earnings, and Adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to income before provision for income taxes are included within this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Other Key Terms

“Assets under management” or “AUM” refers to the assets managed by Carlyle. AUM equals the sum of the following:

(a) the fair value of the capital invested in Carlyle carry funds, co-investment vehicles, NGP management fee funds and fund of funds vehicles plus the capital that Carlyle is entitled to call from investors in those funds and vehicles (including Carlyle commitments to those funds and vehicles and those of senior Carlyle professionals and employees) pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to those funds and vehicles;

(b) the amount of aggregate collateral balance and principal cash at par or aggregate principal amount of the notes of our CLOs and other structured products (inclusive of all positions);

(c) the net asset value (pre-redemptions and subscriptions) of Carlyle’s long/short credit, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic, mutual fund, fund of hedge funds vehicles and other hedge funds; and

(d) the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage) of our business development companies.

AUM includes certain energy and renewable resources funds that Carlyle jointly advises with Riverstone Holdings L.L.C. (“Riverstone”) and certain NGP management fee funds and carry funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. Carlyle’s calculation of AUM (but not Fee-Earning AUM) includes uncalled commitments to, and the fair value of invested capital in, investment funds from Carlyle and its personnel, regardless of whether such commitments or invested capital are subject to management or performance fees.

“Available capital,” commonly known as “dry powder,” for Carlyle’s carry funds and NGP management fee funds refers to the amount of capital commitments available to be called for investments. Amounts previously called may be added back to available capital following certain distributions.

“Carlyle funds,” “our funds” and “our investment funds” refer to the investment funds and vehicles advised by Carlyle.

“Carry funds” refers to (i) those investment funds that Carlyle advises, including the buyout funds, growth capital funds, real estate funds, infrastructure funds, certain energy funds, and opportunistic credit, distressed debt and mezzanine funds (but excluding Carlyle’s structured credit/other structured product funds, hedge funds, business development companies, mutual fund and fund of funds vehicles), where Carlyle receives a special residual allocation of income, which is referred to as a “carried interest,” in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund and (ii) those investment funds advised by NGP from which we are entitled to receive a carried interest.

“Catch-up management fees” refer to those amounts of management fees charged to fund investors in subsequent closings of a fund which apply to the time period between the fee initiation date and the subsequent closing date.

“Expired available capital” occurs when a fund has passed the investment and follow-on periods and can no longer invest capital into new or existing deals. Any remaining available capital, typically a result of either recycled distributions or specific reserves established for the follow-on period that are not drawn, can only be called for fees and expenses and is therefore removed from the total AUM calculation.

“Fee-Earning assets under management” or “Fee-Earning AUM” refers to the assets managed by Carlyle from which Carlyle derives recurring fund management fees. Fee-Earning AUM generally equals the sum of:

(a) for substantially all carry funds and certain co-investment vehicles where the investment period has not expired and for Metropolitan fund of funds vehicles during the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds, the amount of limited partner capital commitments, for AlpInvest fund of funds vehicles, the amount of external investor capital commitments during the commitment fee period, and for the NGP management fee funds and certain carry funds advised by NGP, the amount of investor capital commitments before the first investment realization;

(b) for substantially all carry funds and certain co-investment vehicles where the investment period has expired and for Metropolitan fund of funds vehicles after the expiration of the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds, the remaining amount of limited partner invested capital, and for the NGP management fee funds and certain carry funds advised by NGP where the first investment has been realized, the amount of partner commitments less realized and written-off investments;

(c) the amount of aggregate fee-earning collateral balance at par of our collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), as defined in the fund indentures (typically exclusive of equities and defaulted positions) as of the quarterly cut-off date for each CLO, and the aggregate principal amount of the notes of our other structured products;

(d) the net asset value of our mutual fund and the external investor portion of the net asset value (pre-redemptions and subscriptions) of our long/short credit funds, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic, fund of hedge funds vehicles and other hedge funds;

(e) the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), excluding cash and cash equivalents of our business development companies and certain carry funds; and

(f) for AlpInvest fund of funds vehicles where the commitment fee period has expired, and certain carry funds where the investment period has expired, the lower of cost or fair value of invested capital.

Fee-Earning AUM includes certain energy and renewable resources carry funds that Carlyle jointly advises with Riverstone and certain NGP management fee funds and carry funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. Fee-Earning AUM includes only those assets which earn a material fee.

For Carlyle’s carry funds, co-investment vehicles, NGP management fee funds and fund of funds vehicles, total AUM includes the fair value of the capital invested, whereas Fee-Earning AUM includes the amount of capital commitments or the remaining amount of invested capital at cost, depending on whether the investment period for the fund has expired. As such, Fee-Earning AUM may be greater than total AUM when the aggregate fair value of the remaining investments is less than the cost of those investments.

“Fund of funds vehicles” refers to those funds, accounts and vehicles advised by AlpInvest Partners B.V., Metropolitan Real Estate Equity Management, LLC, and Diversified Global Asset Management Corporation.

“NGP management fee funds” refer to those funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries) from which we only receive management fees.

“Net accrued performance fees” refers to the accrued performance fees that are attributable to Carlyle’s unitholders. This balance is comprised of accrued performance fees less: accrued giveback obligations, accrued performance fee compensation (inclusive of related tax obligations), and accrued performance fees attributable to non-controlling interests. This balance also excludes net accrued performance fees that have been realized but will be collected in subsequent periods.

“Net performance fees” refers to the performance fees from Carlyle funds and fund of funds vehicles net of the portion allocated to Carlyle investment professionals (including related tax expense) which is reflected as performance fee related compensation expense.

“Performance fees” consist principally of carried interest from carry funds and certain fund of funds vehicles and incentive fees or allocations from certain of our Global Market Strategies funds. Carlyle is generally entitled to a 20% allocation (or 1.8% to 10% in the case of most of the fund of funds vehicles) of the net realized income or gain as a carried interest after returning the invested capital, the allocation of preferred returns of generally 8% to 9% and the return of certain fund costs (subject to catch-up provisions as set forth in the fund limited partnership agreement). Carried interest revenue, which is a component of performance fees in Carlyle’s consolidated financial statements, is recognized by Carlyle upon appreciation of the valuation of the applicable funds’ investments above certain return

hurdles as set forth in each respective partnership agreement and is based on the amount that would be due to Carlyle pursuant to the fund partnership agreement at each period end as if the funds were liquidated at such date.

“Realized net performance fees” refers to the realized performance fees from Carlyle funds and fund of funds vehicles net of the portion allocated to Carlyle investment professionals (including related tax expense) which is reflected as realized performance fee related compensation expense.

“VIE” refers to a variable interest entity, as that term is defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation.
