LEADERSHIP COMMENTARY
John S. Weinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "Our record first quarter results reflect strong momentum coming into the year and the benefits of our long-term investment strategy. Our focus remains on serving our clients and building on the strength of our franchise."
Roger C. Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman, "We delivered an exceptional first quarter, with record revenues of $1.4 billion, underscoring the relentless build-out of the Evercore platform."
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.
Business Segments:
Evercore's business results are categorized into two segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. Investment Banking & Equities includes providing advice to clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic corporate transactions, as well as services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Investment Management includes Wealth Management and interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company, as well as advising third-party investors through affiliates. See pages A-2 to A-8 for further information and reconciliations of these segment results to our U.S. GAAP consolidated results.
Non-GAAP Measures:
Throughout this release certain information is presented on an adjusted basis, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted 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 certain Evercore LP Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed adjusted 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.
Evercore's Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was higher than U.S. GAAP principally as a result of the exclusion of the following expenses:
Acquisition-related compensation charges, reflecting expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Robey Warshaw
Acquisition and Transition Costs, including costs incurred for the impairment of a lease related to the acquisition of Robey Warshaw
Expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets and interest cost related to deferred acquisition consideration from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw
Expense, or reversal of expense, associated with the changes in fair value of contingent consideration issued to the sellers of Robey Warshaw
Evercore's Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were higher than U.S. GAAP primarily as a result of the inclusion of Evercore LP Units.
Further details of these adjustments, as well as an explanation of similar amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are included in pages A-2 to A-8.

Employee Compensation and Benefits – First quarter Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $444.2 million, or 97%, year-over-year, reflecting a compensation ratio of 65.0% for the first quarter of 2026 versus 66.2% for the prior year period. The increase in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. Employee Compensation and Benefits for the first quarter of 2026 also includes $7.1 million of costs related to awards granted in conjunction with the acquisition of Robey Warshaw. The Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. See "Deferred Compensation" for more information.
Non-Compensation Costs – First quarter Non-Compensation Costs increased $33.0 million, or 27%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with license fees and research services in the first quarter of 2026, an increase in depreciation and amortization, principally reflecting the addition of leasehold improvements for new office space and the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw, an increase in professional fees and an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount. The first quarter Non-Compensation ratio of 11.3% decreased from 17.8% compared to the prior year period. The Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period.
Non-Compensation Costs for the first quarter of 2026 are also impacted by Acquisition and Transition Costs resulting from the impairment of a lease related to the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
Effective Tax Rate
The first quarter effective tax rate was 2.7% versus (37.2%) for the prior year period. The effective tax rate is principally impacted by the deduction associated with the appreciation in the Firm's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price. The first quarter provision for income taxes for 2026 reflects an additional tax benefit of $88.5 million versus $74.3 million for the prior year period, due to the net impact associated with the appreciation in the Firm's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price.

Adjusted Results
Throughout the discussion of Evercore's business and elsewhere in this release, information is presented on an Adjusted basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measure. Adjusted 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 certain Evercore LP Units and Unvested Restricted Stock Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted 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 amounts are allocated to the Company's two business segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. The differences between the Adjusted and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:
Assumed Exchange of Evercore LP Units into Class A Shares. The Adjusted results assume substantially all Evercore LP Units have been exchanged for Class A shares. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to a controlling interest. The Company's management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed conversion of substantially all of these previously granted equity interests and IPO related restricted stock units, and thus the Adjusted results reflect their exchange into Class A shares.
Adjustments Associated with Business Combinations and Divestitures. The following charges resulting from business combinations and divestitures have been excluded from the Adjusted results as the Company's Management believes that operating performance is more comparable across periods excluding the effects of these acquisition-related charges:
Acquisition and Transition Costs. Costs incurred for the impairment of a lease related to the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
Acquisition-related Compensation Charges. Expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
Interest Expense. Interest expense accrued for deferred acquisition consideration issued in the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. The expense, or reversal of expense, associated with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration issued to the sellers of Robey Warshaw.
Income Taxes. Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, C-Corporations and a Public Corporation in the U.S. as the ultimate parent. Certain of the subsidiaries, particularly Evercore LP, have noncontrolling interests held by management or former members of management. As a result, not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate level taxes and certain other state and local taxes are levied. The assumption in the Adjusted earnings presentation is that substantially all of the noncontrolling interest is eliminated through the exchange of Evercore LP units into Class A common stock of the ultimate parent. As a result, the Adjusted earnings presentation assumes that the allocation of earnings to Evercore LP’s noncontrolling interest holders is substantially eliminated and is therefore subject to statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional tax structure in the U.S. and that certain state and local taxes are reduced accordingly.
Presentation of Interest Expense. The Adjusted results present Adjusted Investment Banking & Equities Operating Income and Adjusted Investment Management Operating Income before interest expense on debt, lines of credit and other financing arrangements, which are included in interest expense on a U.S. GAAP basis.
Presentation of Income from Equity Method Investments. The Adjusted results present Income from Equity Method Investments within Revenue as the Company's Management believes it is a useful presentation.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Adjusted Financial Data
For further information on these adjustments, see page A-2.
(1)
Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investments has been reclassified to Revenue in the Adjusted presentation.
(2)
Interest Expense on Debt, Lines of Credit and Other Financing Arrangements is excluded from Net Revenues and presented below Operating Income in the Adjusted results and is included in Interest Expense on a U.S. GAAP basis. The Adjusted results also reflect the reduction of interest expense accrued for deferred acquisition consideration issued in the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
(3)
Expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Robey Warshaw are excluded from the Adjusted presentation.
(4)
Non-Compensation Costs on an Adjusted basis reflect the following adjustments:
(4a)
The exclusion from the Adjusted presentation of expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
(4b)
The exclusion from the Adjusted presentation of costs incurred for the impairment of a lease related to the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
(4c)
The exclusion from the Adjusted presentation of the expense, or reversal of expense, associated with the changes in fair value of contingent consideration issued to the sellers of Robey Warshaw.
(5)
Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, C-Corporations and a Public Corporation in the U.S. as the ultimate parent. Certain of the subsidiaries, particularly Evercore LP, have noncontrolling interests held by management or former members of management. As a result, not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate level taxes and certain other state and local taxes are levied. The assumption in the Adjusted earnings presentation is that substantially all of the noncontrolling interest is eliminated through the exchange of Evercore LP units into Class A common stock of the ultimate parent. As a result, the Adjusted earnings presentation assumes that the allocation of earnings to Evercore LP’s noncontrolling interest holders is substantially eliminated and is therefore subject to statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional tax structure in the U.S. and that certain state and local taxes are reduced accordingly.
(6)
Reflects an adjustment to eliminate noncontrolling interest related to substantially all Evercore LP partnership units which are assumed to be converted to Class A common stock in the Adjusted presentation.
(7)
Assumes the exchange into Class A shares of substantially all Evercore LP Units and IPO related restricted stock unit awards in the Adjusted presentation. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP net income per share, the Evercore LP Units are anti-dilutive.

Evercore Inc. (NYSE: EVR) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
LEADERSHIP COMMENTARY
John S. Weinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "Our 2025 results reflect strengthening market conditions and the benefits of our diversified business model. We enter 2026 with momentum and remain focused on serving our clients and executing our long-term growth strategy."
Roger C. Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman, "Evercore delivered record fourth quarter and full year revenues, ranking #3 globally in Advisory revenues among public firms for the second consecutive year. Our market share is at an all-time high."
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.
Business Segments:
Evercore's business results are categorized into two segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. Investment Banking & Equities includes providing advice to clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic corporate transactions, as well as services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Investment Management includes Wealth Management and interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company, as well as advising third-party investors through affiliates. See pages A-2 to A-10 for further information and reconciliations of these segment results to our U.S. GAAP consolidated results.
Non-GAAP Measures:
Throughout this release certain information is presented on an adjusted basis, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted 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 certain Evercore LP Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed adjusted 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.
Evercore's Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was higher than U.S. GAAP principally as a result of the exclusion of the following expenses:
Acquisition-related compensation charges reflecting expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Robey Warshaw
Acquisition and Transition Costs including professional fees and certain other costs incurred related to the acquisition of Robey Warshaw and transfer taxes and professional fees incurred resulting from the Company's reorganization of businesses within the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") legal entity structure
Expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets and interest cost related to deferred acquisition consideration from the Robey Warshaw acquisition
Evercore's Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were higher than U.S. GAAP primarily as a result of the inclusion of Evercore LP Units.

Advisory Fees – Fourth quarter Advisory Fees increased $278.7 million, or 33%, year-over-year, and full year Advisory Fees increased $826.5 million, or 34%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting an increase in revenue earned from large transactions and an increase in the number of advisory fees earned during 2025.
Underwriting Fees – Fourth quarter Underwriting Fees increased $23.1 million, or 87%, year-over-year, reflecting an increase in the number of transactions we participated in during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Commissions and Related Revenue – Fourth quarter Commissions and Related Revenue increased $8.4 million, or 15%, year-over-year, and full year Commissions and Related Revenue increased $28.6 million, or 13%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting higher trading commissions driven by increased trading volume and higher subscription fees during 2025.
Asset Management and Administration Fees – Fourth quarter Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $2.1 million, or 10%, year-over-year, driven by an increase in fees from Wealth Management clients, as associated AUM increased 12%, from market appreciation and net inflows. Full year Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $7.8 million, or 10%, year-over-year, driven by an increase in fees from Wealth Management clients, as associated AUM increased 12%, from market appreciation and net inflows.
Other Revenue, net – Fourth quarter Other Revenue, net, increased $0.6 million, or 3%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting higher interest income. This increase was partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025. Full year Other Revenue, net, decreased $9.3 million, or 11%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower performance of our investment funds portfolio and an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025. These decreases were partially offset by higher interest income resulting from higher average balances in interest-bearing assets. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program.

Employee Compensation and Benefits – Fourth quarter Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $172.4 million, or 27%, year-over-year, reflecting a compensation ratio of 63.0% for the fourth quarter of 2025 versus 65.6% for the prior year period. The increase in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher compensation expense related to senior new hires. The Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. Full year Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $526.8 million, or 27%, year-over-year, reflecting a full year compensation ratio of 64.9% versus 66.3% for the prior year period. The increase in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. The Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. See "Deferred Compensation" for more information.
Non-Compensation Costs – Fourth quarter Non-Compensation Costs increased $41.0 million, or 33%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with research services and license fees in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase in depreciation and amortization, principally reflecting the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw, an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount, and an increase in other operating expenses related to charitable contributions made to the Evercore Foundation. The fourth quarter Non-Compensation ratio of 12.8% increased from 12.7% compared to the prior year period. The Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. Full year Non-Compensation Costs increased $93.7 million, or 20%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with research services, license fees and consulting costs, an increase in occupancy and equipment rental expense, primarily related to an increase in office space, and an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount. The full year Non-Compensation ratio of 14.7% decreased from 15.8% for the prior year period. The Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period.

Effective Tax Rate
The fourth quarter effective tax rate was 29.0% versus 27.5% for the prior year period, principally reflecting an increase in non-deductible expenses and state and local apportionment adjustments. The full year effective tax rate was 19.3% versus 21.6% for the prior year period, principally reflecting the deduction associated with the appreciation in the Firm's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price, partially offset by an increase in non-deductible expenses and state and local apportionment adjustments.

Certain balances in the prior period were reclassified to conform to their current presentation in this release. "Communications and Information Services" has been renamed to "Technology and Information Services" and technology and related expenses have been reclassified from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services." For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, this resulted in a reclassification of $10.2 million and $39.5 million, respectively, from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services." There was no impact on previously reported U.S. GAAP Operating Income, Net Income or Earnings Per Share. See page A-3 for further information.
Adjusted Results
Throughout the discussion of Evercore's business and elsewhere in this release, information is presented on an Adjusted basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measure. Adjusted 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 certain Evercore LP Units and Unvested Restricted Stock Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted 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 amounts are allocated to the Company's two business segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. The differences between the Adjusted and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:
Assumed Exchange of Evercore LP Units into Class A Shares. The Adjusted results assume substantially all Evercore LP Units have been exchanged for Class A shares. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to a controlling interest. The Company's management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed conversion of substantially all of these previously granted equity interests and IPO related restricted stock units, and thus the Adjusted results reflect their exchange into Class A shares.
Adjustments Associated with Business Combinations and Divestitures. The following charges resulting from business combinations and divestitures have been excluded from the Adjusted results as the Company's Management believes that operating performance is more comparable across periods excluding the effects of these acquisition-related charges:
Acquisition and Transition Costs. Professional fees and certain other costs incurred related to the acquisition of Robey Warshaw and transfer taxes and professional fees incurred resulting from the Company's reorganization of businesses within the EMEA legal entity structure.
Acquisition-related Compensation Charges. Expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
Interest Expense. Interest expense accrued for deferred acquisition consideration issued in the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
Foreign Exchange Gains / (Losses). The release of cumulative foreign exchange losses in the third quarter of 2024 resulting from the redemption of the Company's interest in Luminis.
Gain on Sale of Interests in ABS. The gain on the sale of the remaining portion of the Company's interest in ABS in the third quarter of 2024.
Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs. Expenses during 2024 that are excluded from the Adjusted presentation relate to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of the Company's investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of the Company's interest.
Income Taxes. Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, C-Corporations and a Public Corporation in the U.S. as the ultimate parent. Certain of the subsidiaries, particularly Evercore LP, have noncontrolling interests held by management or former members of management. As a result, not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate level taxes and certain other state and local taxes are levied. The assumption in the Adjusted earnings presentation is that substantially all of the noncontrolling interest is eliminated through the exchange of Evercore LP units into Class A common stock of the ultimate parent. As a result, the Adjusted earnings presentation assumes that the allocation of earnings to Evercore LP’s noncontrolling interest holders is substantially eliminated and is therefore subject to statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional tax structure in the U.S. and that certain state and local taxes are reduced accordingly.
Presentation of Interest Expense. The Adjusted results present Adjusted Investment Banking & Equities Operating Income and Adjusted Investment Management Operating Income before interest expense on debt, lines of credit and other financing arrangements, which are included in interest expense on a U.S. GAAP basis.
Presentation of Income from Equity Method Investments. The Adjusted results present Income from Equity Method Investments within Revenue as the Company's Management believes it is a useful presentation.
Reclassifications:
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company changed its U.S. GAAP and Adjusted presentation such that "Communications and Information Services" was renamed to "Technology and Information Services." Technology and related expenses have been reclassified from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services." The Company has reclassified prior periods to conform to the current presentation in this release. There was no impact on previously reported U.S. GAAP or Adjusted Operating Income, Net Income or Earnings Per Share.
The prior period reclassifications from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services" are as follows: Q1 2025: $10.2 million; Q1 2024: $9.0 million; Q2 2024: $9.9 million; Q3 2024: $10.4 million; Q4 2024: $10.2 million; Q1 2023: $8.6 million; Q2 2023: $8.2 million; Q3 2023: $9.2 million; Q4 2023: $9.1 million. Further details of these reclassifications, as well as a revised presentation for the quarterly results for Q1 2025 and quarterly and full year results for 2024, 2023 and 2022 are available on the Investor Relations section of Evercore's website at www.evercore.com.

Certain balances in the prior period were reclassified to conform to their current presentation in this release. "Communications and Information Services" has been renamed to "Technology and Information Services" and technology and related expenses have been reclassified from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services." For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, this resulted in a reclassification of $10.2 million and $39.5 million, respectively, from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services." There was no impact on previously reported U.S. GAAP or Adjusted Operating Income, Net Income or Earnings Per Share. See page A-3 for further information.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Adjusted Financial Data
For further information on these adjustments, see pages A-2 to A-3.
(1)
Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investments has been reclassified to Revenue in the Adjusted presentation.
(2)
Interest Expense on Debt, Lines of Credit and Other Financing Arrangements is excluded from Net Revenues and presented below Operating Income in the Adjusted results and is included in Interest Expense on a U.S. GAAP basis. The Adjusted results also reflect the reduction of interest expense accrued for deferred acquisition consideration issued in the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
(3)
The release of cumulative foreign exchange losses in the third quarter of 2024 resulting from the redemption of the Company's interest in Luminis is excluded from the Adjusted presentation.
(4)
The gain on the sale of the remaining portion of the Company's interest in ABS in the third quarter of 2024 is excluded from the Adjusted presentation.
(5)
Expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Robey Warshaw are excluded from the Adjusted presentation.
(6)
Expenses during 2024 that are excluded from the Adjusted presentation relate to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of the Company's investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of the Company's interest.
(7)
Non-Compensation Costs on an Adjusted basis reflect the following adjustments:
(7a)
The exclusion from the Adjusted presentation of expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
(7b)
The exclusion from the Adjusted presentation of professional fees and certain other costs incurred related to the acquisition of Robey Warshaw and transfer taxes and professional fees incurred resulting from the Company's reorganization of businesses within the EMEA legal entity structure.
(8)
Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, C-Corporations and a Public Corporation in the U.S. as the ultimate parent. Certain of the subsidiaries, particularly Evercore LP, have noncontrolling interests held by management or former members of management. As a result, not all of the Company’s income is subject to corporate level taxes and certain other state and local taxes are levied. The assumption in the Adjusted earnings presentation is that substantially all of the noncontrolling interest is eliminated through the exchange of Evercore LP units into Class A common stock of the ultimate parent. As a result, the Adjusted earnings presentation assumes that the allocation of earnings to Evercore LP’s noncontrolling interest holders is substantially eliminated and is therefore subject to statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional tax structure in the U.S. and that certain state and local taxes are reduced accordingly.
(9)
Reflects an adjustment to eliminate noncontrolling interest related to substantially all Evercore LP partnership units which are assumed to be converted to Class A common stock in the Adjusted presentation.
(10)
Assumes the exchange into Class A shares of substantially all Evercore LP Units and IPO related restricted stock unit awards in the Adjusted presentation. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP net income per share, the Evercore LP Units are anti-dilutive.
