  (a)

Excludes investment vehicles where Blackstone does not earn fees.

 

 

  (b)

Available Capital represents total investable capital commitments, including side-by-side, adjusted for certain expenses and expired or recallable capital and may include
leverage, less invested capital. This amount is not reduced by outstanding commitments to investments.

 

 

  (c)

Multiple of Invested Capital (“MOIC”) represents carrying value, before management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues, divided by invested capital.

 

 

  (d)

Unless otherwise indicated, Net Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) represents the annualized inception to June 30, 2024 IRR on total invested capital based on realized
proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues. IRRs are calculated using actual timing of limited partner
cash flows. Initial inception date of cash flows may differ from the Investment Period Beginning Date.

 

 

  (e)

The 8% Realized Net IRR and 8% Total Net IRR exclude investors that opted out of the Hilton investment opportunity. Overall BREP International II performance reflects a
7% Realized Net IRR and a 7% Total Net IRR.

 

 

  (f)

BREP Co-Investment represents co-investment capital raised for various BREP investments. The Net IRR reflected is calculated by aggregating each co-investment’s
realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues.

 

 

  (g)

  (i)

Strategic Partners’ Unrealized Investment Value, Realized Investment Value, Total Investment Value, Total MOIC and Total Net IRRs are reported on a three-month lag
and therefore do not include the impact of economic and market activities in the current quarter. Realizations are treated as returns of capital until fully recovered and
therefore Unrealized and Realized MOICs and Realized Net IRRs are not applicable. Committed Capital and Available Capital are presented as of the current quarter.

 

 

  (j)

European Senior Debt II Levered has a net return of 16%, European Senior Debt II Unlevered has a net return of 8%.

 

 

  (k)

Funds presented represent the flagship credit drawdown funds only. The Total Credit Net IRR is the combined IRR of the credit drawdown funds presented.

 

 

  (l)

than one year, (2) perpetual capital assets managed for certain insurance clients, and (3) investment vehicles where Blackstone does not earn fees.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES – NOTES

 

Note:  See pages 36-38, Definitions and Dividend Policy.

 

(a)

This adjustment removes Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. Transaction-Related
and Non-Recurring Items arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, Blackstone’s initial public offering, and non-recurring gains,
losses, or other charges, if any. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements,
changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs, gains or losses associated
with these corporate actions, and non-recurring gains, losses or other charges that affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of
Blackstone’s operational performance.

(b)

This adjustment removes the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation.

(c)

This adjustment reverses the effect of consolidating Blackstone Funds, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. This adjustment
includes the elimination of Blackstone’s interest in these funds and the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated
operating partnerships held by non-controlling interests.

(d)

This adjustment removes Unrealized Performance Revenues on a segment basis. The Segment Adjustment represents the add back of performance
revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.

This analysis reconciles the components of Total Segment Distributable Earnings (page 3) to their equivalent GAAP measures, reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations (page 26). Segment basis presents revenues and expenses on a basis that deconsolidates the investment funds Blackstone manages and excludes the amortization of intangibles, the expense of equity-based awards and Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items.

(a)

Represents (1) the add back of net management fees earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of revenue from the reimbursement of certain expenses by the Blackstone Funds, which are presented gross under GAAP but netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in the Total Segment measures.

(b)

Represents the add back of Performance Revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c)

Represents the removal of Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items that are not recorded in the Total Segment measures.

(d)

Represents the (1) removal of Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items that are not recorded in the Total Segment Measures, (2) removal of certain expenses reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds, which are presented gross under GAAP but netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in the Total Segment measures, and (3) a reduction equal to an administrative fee collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units which is accounted for as a capital contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in Blackstone’s segment presentation.

(e)

Fee related performance compensation may include equity based compensation based on fee related performance revenues.

(f)

Represents (1) the add back of Principal Investment Income, including general partner income, earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated operating partnerships held by non-controlling interests.

(g)

Represents (1) the add back of Interest and Dividend Revenue earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.

NOTES

 

 Notes to page 3 - Blackstone’s Second Quarter 2024 Segment Earnings

 

  §   All prior periods have been recast to reflect the segment organizational updates. Throughout this presentation, Secondaries reflects Strategic Partners and GP Stakes unless otherwise indicated.

 Notes to page 4 - Investment Performance and Net Accrued Performance Revenues

 

  §   The changes in carrying value, fund returns and composite returns presented throughout this presentation represent those of the applicable Blackstone Funds and not those of Blackstone.

 

  §   Core+ appreciation represents a weighted average of BREIT’s per share appreciation, BEPIF’s per share appreciation, and BPP’s appreciation for the period. The returns are weighted based on the average of BREIT’s monthly net asset values, BEPIF’s monthly net asset values, and the   average of BPP’s quarterly adjusted beginning period market values for the period.

 

  §   Results for the Secondaries business refer to the appreciation of the Strategic Partners funds and do not include results for GP Stakes. Strategic Partners results are reported on a three-month lag from fund financial statements, which generally report underlying investments on a same-quarter basis, if available. As a result, the appreciation presented herein does not include the impact of economic and market activity in the current quarter. Current market activity is expected to affect reported results in upcoming quarters.

 

  §   Private Credit returns include mezzanine lending funds and middle market direct lending funds (including BXSL and BCRED), stressed/distressed strategies (including stressed/distressed funds and credit alpha strategies) and energy strategies. Liquid Credit returns include CLOs, closed-ended funds, open-ended funds and separately managed accounts. Only fee-earning funds exceeding $100 million of fair value at the beginning of each respective quarter-end are included. Funds in liquidation, funds investing primarily in investment grade corporate credit and asset-based finance are excluded. Blackstone Funds that were contributed to Blackstone Credit as part of Blackstone’s acquisition of Blackstone Credit, formerly known as GSO, in March 2008 and the pre-acquisition date performance for funds and vehicles acquired by Blackstone Credit subsequent to March 2008, are also excluded.

 

  §   The Absolute Return Composite gross and net returns are based on the Multi-Asset Investing (“BXMA”) Absolute Return Composite, which includes only BXMA-managed commingled and customized multi-manager funds and accounts and does not include BXMA’s liquid solutions group, seeding, multi-strategy, and advisory (non-discretionary) platforms, except for investments by Absolute Return funds directly into those platforms. BXMA-managed funds in liquidation and, in the case of net returns, non fee-paying assets are also excluded. The funds/accounts that comprise the Absolute Return Composite are not managed within a single fund or account and are managed with different mandates. There is no guarantee that BXMA would have made the same mix of investments in a stand-alone fund/account. The Absolute Return Composite is not an investible product and, as such, the performance of the Absolute Return Composite does not represent the performance of an actual fund or account.

 Notes to page 17 – Deconsolidated Balance Sheet Highlights

 

  §   GP/Fund Investments include Blackstone investments in Real Estate, Private Equity, Credit & Insurance, and Multi-Asset Investing, which were $602 million, $1.1 billion, $833 million, and $124 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2024. Cash and Net Investments per share amounts are calculated using period end DE Shares Outstanding (see page 24, Share Summary).

NOTES – (CONT’D)

 

 Notes to page 23 – Shareholder Dividends

 

  §   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. Common shareholders receive tax benefits from deductions taken by Blackstone’s corporate tax paying subsidiaries and bear responsibility for the deduction from Distributable Earnings of the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and certain other tax-related payables.

 

  §   Per Share calculations are based on end of period Participating Common Shares (page 24, Share Summary); actual dividends are paid to shareholders as of the applicable record date.

 

  §   Retained capital is withheld pro rata from common shareholders and Blackstone Holdings Partnership unitholders. Common shareholders’ share was $108 million for 2Q’24 and $221 million for 2Q’24 YTD.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY

 

 

Blackstone discloses the following operating metrics and 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:

 

  §   Segment Distributable Earnings, or “Segment DE”, is Blackstone’s segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and assess
performance across Blackstone’s four segments. Segment DE represents the net realized earnings of Blackstone’s segments and is the sum of Fee
Related Earnings and Net Realizations for each segment. Blackstone’s segments are presented on a basis that deconsolidates Blackstone Funds,
eliminates non-controlling ownership interests in Blackstone’s consolidated operating partnerships, removes the amortization of intangible assets
and removes Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items. Segment DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but
not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

 

    Net Realizations is presented on a segment basis and is the sum of Realized Principal Investment Income and Realized Performance
Revenues (which refers to Realized Performance Revenues excluding Fee Related Performance Revenues), less Realized Performance
Compensation (which refers to Realized Performance Compensation excluding Fee Related Performance Compensation and Equity-Based
Performance Compensation).

 

    Segment Revenues represent Net Management and Advisory Fees, Fee Related Performance Revenues, Realized Performance Revenues and
Realized Principal Investment Income.

 

  §   Distributable Earnings, or “DE”, is derived from Blackstone’s segment reported results. DE is used to assess performance and amounts available
for dividends to Blackstone shareholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the Blackstone Holdings
Partnerships. DE is the sum of Segment DE plus Net Interest and Dividend Income (Loss) less Taxes and Related Payables. DE excludes unrealized
activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before
Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

 

    Net Interest and Dividend Income (Loss) is presented on a segment basis and is equal to Interest and Dividend Revenue less Interest
Expense, adjusted for the impact of consolidation of Blackstone Funds, and interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.

 

    Taxes and Related Payables represent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on
Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and including the Payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Further, the current tax
provision utilized when calculating Taxes and Related Payables and DE reflects the benefit of deductions available to the company on certain
expense items that are excluded from the underlying calculation of Segment DE and Total Segment Distributable Earnings, such as equity-
based compensation charges and certain Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items where there is a current tax provision or benefit. The
economic assumptions and methodologies that impact the implied income tax provision are the same as those methodologies and
assumptions used in calculating the current income tax provision for Blackstone’s consolidated statements of operations under U.S. GAAP,
excluding the impact of divestitures and accrued tax contingencies and refunds which are reflected when paid or received. Management
believes that including the amount payable under the tax receivable agreement and utilizing the current income tax provision adjusted as
described above when calculating DE is meaningful as it increases comparability between periods and more accurately reflects earnings that
are available for distribution to shareholders.

 

  §   Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”, is a performance measure used to assess Blackstone’s ability to generate profits from revenues that are
measured and received on a recurring basis and not subject to future realization events. FRE equals management and advisory fees (net of
management fee reductions and offsets) plus Fee Related Performance Revenues, less (a) Fee Related Compensation on a segment basis, and
(b) Other Operating Expenses. FRE is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of
Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.
 
   
    

 

Blackstone |  36

 


 

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY – (CONT’D)

 

 

    Fee Related Compensation is presented on a segment basis and refers to the compensation expense, excluding Equity-Based Compensation,
directly related to (a) Management and Advisory Fees, Net and (b) Fee Related Performance Revenues, referred to as Fee Related
Performance Compensation.

 

    Fee Related Performance Revenues refers to the realized portion of Performance Revenues from Perpetual Capital that are (a) measured
and received on a recurring basis, and (b) not dependent on realization events from the underlying investments.

 

    Other Operating Expenses is presented on a segment basis and is equal to General, Administrative and Other Expenses, adjusted to
(a) remove the Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items that are not recorded in the Total Segment Measures, (b) remove certain
expenses reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds which are netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in Blackstone’s segment
presentation, and (c) give effect to an administrative fee collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings
Partnership Units. The administrative fee is accounted for as a capital contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other
Operating Expenses in Blackstone’s segment presentation.

 

    Perpetual Capital refers to the component of assets under management with an indefinite term, that is not in liquidation, and for which
there is no requirement to return capital to investors through redemption requests in the ordinary course of business, except where funded
by new capital inflows. Includes co-investment capital with an investor right to convert into Perpetual Capital.

 

    FRE Margin is calculated by dividing Fee Related Earnings by Fee Related Revenues (defined as the sum of Total Segment Management and
Advisory Fees, Net and Fee Related Performance Revenues).

 

  §   Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or “Adjusted EBITDA”, is a supplemental measure used to
assess performance derived from Blackstone’s segment results and may be used to assess its ability to service its borrowings. Adjusted EBITDA
represents Distributable Earnings plus the addition of (a) Interest Expense on a segment basis, (b) Taxes and Related Payables, and
(c) Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP
measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

 

  §   Performance Revenues collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fees, and (b) Performance Allocations.

 

  §   Performance Compensation collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fee Compensation, and (b) Performance Allocations Compensation.

 

    Performance Compensation reflects an increase in the aggregate Realized Performance Compensation paid to certain of our professionals
above the amounts allocable to them based upon the percentage participation in the relevant performance plans previously awarded to them
as a result of a compensation program that commenced in 2Q’21. The expectation is that for the full year 2024, Fee Related Compensation will be decreased by the total amount of additional Performance Compensation awarded for the year. For 2Q’24 QTD, 2Q’24 YTD, 2Q’23 QTD
and 2Q’23 YTD, the increase to Realized Performance Compensation was greater than the decrease to Fee Related Compensation, which
negatively impacted Distributable Earnings for both the current year and prior year quarter and YTD periods. These changes to Performance
Compensation and Fee Related Compensation are not expected to impact Distributable Earnings for the full year.

 

  §   Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, Blackstone’s initial public
offering, and non-recurring gains, losses, or other charges, if any. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses
on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar
event, transaction costs, gains or losses associated with these corporate actions, and non-recurring gains, losses or other charges that affect
period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of Blackstone’s operational performance.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY – (CONT’D)

 

 

Dividend Policy. Blackstone’s intention is to pay to holders of common stock a quarterly dividend representing approximately 85% of Blackstone Inc.’s
share of Distributable Earnings, subject to adjustment by amounts determined by Blackstone’s board of directors 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 dividends to
shareholders for any ensuing quarter. The dividend amount 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 dividends are at the sole discretion of Blackstone’s board of directors and our board of
directors may change our dividend policy at any time, including, without limitation, to reduce such quarterly dividends or even to eliminate such
dividends entirely.
