rescue lending funds and distressed energy strategies. The composite gross returns represent a weighted-average composite of the fee-earning funds exceeding $100 million of fair value at each respective 
quarter end for each strategy. Composite gross returns exclude the Blackstone Funds that were contributed to GSO as part of Blackstone’s acquisition of GSO in March 2008. Performing Credit Strategies’ 
net returns were 8.3% for 2Q'16 and Distressed Strategies’ net returns were 6.2% for 2Q'16. The breakdown of Total AUM for 2Q’16 is as follows: Distressed Strategies $22.1 billion (34% Incentive Fee, 66% 
Carried Interest), Performing Credit Strategies $31.2 billion (56% Incentive Fee, 44% Carried Interest), and Long Only $31.4 billion.

A detailed description of Blackstone’s distribution policy and the definition of Distributable Earnings can be found on page 32, Definitions and Distribution Policy. DE before Certain Payables represents Distributable Earnings
before the deduction for the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and tax expense (benefit) of wholly owned subsidiaries. Per Unit calculations are based on end of period Total Common Units Outstanding (page 31, Unit
Rollforward); actual distributions are paid to unitholders as of the applicable record date. For the periods presented, Net Cash Available for Distribution per Common Unit equals the Actual Distribution per Common Unit.
Retained capital is withheld pro-rata from common and Blackstone Holdings Partnership unitholders. Common unitholders’ share was $38.7 million for 2Q’16 and $70.9 million for YTD’16.

Net Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) represents the annualized inception to June 30, 2016 IRR on total invested capital based on realized proceeds and
unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Carried Interest.
(e)
Realizations are treated as return of capital until fully recovered and therefore unrealized and realized MOICs are not meaningful.
(f)
BCEP, or Blackstone Core Equity Partners, is a core private equity fund which invests with a more modest risk profile and longer hold period.
(g)
Returns for Other Funds and Co-Investment are not meaningful as these funds have limited transaction activity.

Definitions and Distribution Policy
Blackstone discloses 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 (“non-GAAP”) in this presentation:
Blackstone uses Economic Income, or “EI”, as a key measure of value creation, a benchmark of its performance and in making resource deployment
and compensation decisions across its four segments. EI represents segment net income before taxes excluding transaction-related charges.
Transaction-related charges arise from Blackstone’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and long-term retention programs outside of annual deferred
compensation and other corporate actions, including acquisitions. Transaction-related charges include equity-based compensation charges, the
amortization of intangible assets and contingent consideration associated with acquisitions. EI presents revenues and expenses on a basis that
deconsolidates the investment funds Blackstone manages.
Economic Net Income, or “ENI”, represents EI adjusted to include current period taxes. Taxes represent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to
include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income (Loss) Before Provision for Taxes.
Blackstone uses Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”, which is derived from EI, as a measure to highlight earnings from operations excluding: (a) the
income related to performance fees and related carry plan costs and (b) income earned from Blackstone’s investments in the Blackstone Funds.
Blackstone uses FRE as a measure to assess whether recurring revenue from its businesses is sufficient to adequately cover all of its operating
expenses and generate profits. FRE equals contractual fee revenues less (a) compensation expenses (which includes amortization of non-IPO and
non-acquisition-related equity-based awards, but excludes amortization of IPO and acquisition-related equity-based awards, Carried Interest and
incentive fee compensation), and (b) non-interest operating expenses.
Distributable Earnings, or “DE”, which is derived from Blackstone’s segment reported results, is a supplemental measure to assess performance and
amounts available for distributions to Blackstone unitholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the
Blackstone Holdings partnerships. DE is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of the consolidation of the
Blackstone Funds. DE, which is a component of ENI, is the sum across all segments of: (a) Total Management and Advisory Fees, (b) Interest and
Dividend Revenue, (c) Other Revenue, (d) Realized Performance Fees, and (e) Realized Investment Income (Loss); less (a) Compensation, excluding
the expense of equity-based awards, (b) Realized Performance Fee Compensation, (c) Other Operating Expenses, and (d) Taxes and Related
Payables Under the Tax Receivable Agreement. DE is reconciled to Blackstone’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Blackstone uses Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or “Adjusted EBITDA”, as a supplemental non-GAAP
measure derived from segment reported results and may be used to assess its ability to service its borrowings. Adjusted EBITDA represents DE plus
the addition of (a) Interest Expense, (b) Taxes and Related Payables Including Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement, and (c) Depreciation and
Amortization.
Distribution Policy. Blackstone’s intention is to distribute quarterly to common unitholders approximately 85% of The Blackstone Group L.P.’s share of
Distributable Earnings, subject to adjustment by amounts determined by Blackstone’s general partner to be necessary or appropriate to provide for
the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and funds, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt instruments or
other 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. All of the foregoing is subject to the qualification
that the declaration and payment of any distributions are at the sole discretion of Blackstone’s general partner and may change its distribution policy
at any time, including, without limitation, to eliminate such distributions entirely.
