Evercore Partners Inc. (NYSE: EVR) today announced that its Adjusted Pro Forma Net Revenues were $83.4 million and $205.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to Adjusted Pro Forma Net Revenues of $56.0 million and $158.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. was $11.0 million and $16.3 million, or $0.29 and $0.45 per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. of $2.3 million and $12.5 million, or $0.07 and $0.37 per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

The quarter was driven by strong results in the Advisory business, with revenue contributions from both M&A advisory and restructuring assignments. The Investment Management business reported substantially improved revenues as assets under management grew, driving an increase in fee-based revenues. Operating margins improved as revenue growth exceeded growth in operating expenses.

U.S. GAAP Net Revenues were $83.2 million and $204.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to U.S. GAAP Net Revenues of $56.8 million and $161.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. U.S. GAAP Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. was $2.6 million and ($3.2) million, or $0.14 and ($0.22) per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to a U.S. GAAP Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. of ($0.5) million and $0.6 million, or ($0.04) and $0.05 per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

Evercore's quarterly results may fluctuate significantly due to the timing and amount of Advisory fees earned, as well as gains or losses relating to the Firm's Investment Management business and other factors. Accordingly, financial results in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results over a longer period of time.

"Financial performance in the quarter reflected continued improvements in the financial markets and the return on our investments in top talent. Revenues grew for the fourth straight quarter with all businesses contributing. Our Advisory results were balanced between M&A and restructuring assignments, reflecting the early stages of the recovery of the M&A markets. Our Investment Management business reported its best revenue quarter since our IPO, reporting $10 million of fee-based revenues," said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Importantly, we made some progress toward our goal of delivering more of our revenue growth to the bottom line, reducing our compensation ratio to 61% and holding non-compensation costs flat to last quarter, resulting in an increase in operating margin to 23%. We definitely have more work to do here, but we are pleased with the progress that we are making."

"Evercore's Advisory franchise continues to strengthen. Our cadre of advisory partners has never been stronger. Our restructuring advisory performance has been stellar. And, overall M&A activity seems to be picking up, albeit gradually. Major client assignments during the quarter included our continued work for General Motors, LyondellBasell and CIT, transactions for ACS, sanofi-aventis and Iridium and strategic financial advice for the Mexico Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito Publico," said Roger Altman, Chairman. "While results always will vary quarter to quarter, Evercore is quite well positioned going forward."

Mr. Schlosstein continued, "Our Investment Management business is making steady progress toward its goal of achieving a break-even run rate by the end of 2010; growing both assets under management and fee based revenues during the third quarter, while carefully managing costs. This growth reflects both the continued inflow of client assets as well as the improvement in the equity markets."

In the discussion below of Evercore and the business segments, information is presented on an adjusted pro forma basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measure and is unaudited. Adjusted pro forma results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") adjusted to exclude certain items. Evercore believes that the disclosed adjusted pro forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore's results across several periods and better reflect what management views as ongoing operations. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information about the adjusted pro forma basis of reporting used by management to evaluate the performance of Evercore and each line of business, including reconciliations of U.S. GAAP results to an adjusted pro forma basis, see pages A-1 through A-11 included in Annex I. These adjusted pro forma amounts are allocated to the Company's two business segments: Advisory and Investment Management.

Revenues

Advisory revenue was $71.6 million and $188.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $50.4 million and $147.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The increase in revenues reflects continued contribution from prominent restructuring assignments including General Motors and CIT, prominent M&A advisory assignments with sanofi-aventis, Iridium and ACS and a financial advisory assignment for the Mexico Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito Publico.

According to Thomson Reuters, industry-wide M&A volumes are down from 2008 levels, with the dollar value of global completed M&A transactions down 47% year-to-date and U.S. completed M&A transactions down 30% year-to-date. Restructuring activity, however, continues to remain high.

According to Thomson Reuters, among boutiques, Evercore was ranked number one in the U.S. as measured by the value of announced transactions during the first nine months of 2009 and #5 in the U.S. among all advisors. The Company earned Advisory revenues in excess of $1 million from 11 clients during the third quarter of 2009, down from the number of clients in the third quarter of 2008 but up from 10 clients in the second quarter of 2009. The number of fee paying clients for the first nine months of 2009 grew to 126 compared to 122 in the first nine months of 2008.

Expenses

Compensation costs for the Advisory segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, were $41.1 million and $110.0 million, respectively, up from $35.2 million and $90.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The year-on-year increase in compensation is due to higher compensation accrued associated with revenues earned and the impact of new hires. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, Evercore's Advisory compensation ratio was 56.5% and 58.0%, respectively, versus the compensation ratio reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 of 68.4% and 60.3%, respectively. Excluding stock compensation costs of $4.5 million and $12.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, related to new Advisory Senior Managing Directors(1), the ratio would have been 50.3% and 51.6%, respectively.

Non-compensation costs for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $8.8 million decreased 7% from the same period last year. Through the first nine months of the year, non-compensation expenses declined 10% from the same period last year, reflecting our ongoing focus on cost control.

(1) Stock compensation costs for Senior Managing Directors hired in the past twenty-four months

Investment Management

The revenues for the Investment Management business improved from last quarter and the prior year as our existing and new businesses generated higher levels of assets under management (AUM) and fee-based revenues. AUM grew 25% to approximately $3.6 billion from $2.9 billion at June 30, 2009, reflecting growth in both net flows and market appreciation. New businesses drove the growth in revenues and expenses for both the three and nine month periods.

Fees earned from the management of client portfolios and other investment advisory services of $10.0 million and $19.5 million increased significantly for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the prior periods, reflecting the addition of new businesses.

Expenses

The growth in expenses this quarter reflects the addition of new businesses, including a full quarter of expenses related to Evercore Trust Company.

Noncontrolling Interest

Most of our Investment Management businesses have a significant direct employee ownership, which is accounted for as a Noncontrolling Interest. Evercore's Adjusted Pro Forma Pre-Tax Income (Loss), net of Noncontrolling Interest, is as follows:

Other U.S. GAAP Expenses

Our Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. for the three months ended September 30, 2009 is higher than for U.S. GAAP as a result of the inclusion of expenses associated with IPO equity awards and the amortization of intangibles (which principally relate to Braveheart and Protego). In addition, our Adjusted Pro Forma results reflect the inclusion of income associated with Noncontrolling Interest. Our Adjusted Pro Forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are driven by similar factors as the three months ended September 30, 2009, and in addition include the restructuring charge incurred in the second quarter of 2009.

In addition, for Adjusted Pro Forma purposes, reimbursable client related expenses and expenses associated with revenue sharing engagements with third parties have been presented as a reduction from Revenues and the associated Non-compensation costs.

Further details of these expenses, as well as an explanation of similar expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, are included in Annex I, pages A-2 to A-10.

Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, Evercore's adjusted pro forma effective tax rate was approximately 42% compared to an effective tax rate of approximately 44% and 38% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The adjusted pro forma effective tax rate assumes that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C Corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rate, that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within that structure on a consolidated basis and that adjustments for deferred tax assets related to tax deductions for equity-based compensation awards are made directly to stockholders' equity.

Balance Sheet

The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, holding liquid assets available for operations and investments of $288.0 million at September 30, 2009. Amounts due related to the Long-Term Notes Payable were $96.3 million at September 30, 2009.

During the quarter the Company repurchased approximately 66,715 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the net settlement of stock-based compensation awards.

Dividend

On October 26, 2009 the Board of Directors of Evercore declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share to be paid on December 11, 2009 to common stockholders of record on November 27, 2009.

Basis of Alternative Financial Statement Presentation

Adjusted pro forma results are a non-GAAP measure. Evercore believes that the disclosed adjusted pro forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore's results across several periods and better reflect what management views as ongoing operations. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP results to adjusted pro forma results is presented in the tables included in Annex I.

Adjusted Pro Forma Results

Evercore prepares its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements using U.S. GAAP. In addition to analyzing the Company's results on a U.S. GAAP basis, management reviews the Company's and business segments' results on an adjusted pro forma basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The adjusted pro forma results reflect the following adjustments, which management believes are not reflective of ongoing operations, and therefore exclusion of these charges enhances understanding of the Company's operating performance.

Vesting of share-based awards in conjunction with equity offering. The Company incurred $4.4 million in expense in Employee Compensation and Benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, resulting from the modification of Evercore LP Units, which will vest over a five year period, and the vesting of modified equity awards in conjunction with an offering during the third quarter of 2009.

Exclusion of deferred consideration related to Braveheart acquisition. The former shareholders of Braveheart were issued $7.5 million of restricted stock in the first quarter of 2008 as additional deferred consideration pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement associated with the Braveheart acquisition.

Special Charges. The Company has reflected charges in conjunction with the Company's decision to suspend capital raising for ECP and other ongoing strategic cost management initiatives. The charge relates to the expense required to be recorded under U.S. GAAP for stock-based compensation awards that are voluntarily forfeited by employees who remain with the Company. During the second quarter of 2009 employees voluntarily forfeited 416,878 unvested restricted stock units and 250,230 partnership units. The Company has also reflected charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 as Special Charges in connection with employee severance, accelerated share-based vesting, facilities costs associated with the closing of the Los Angeles office and the write-off of certain capitalized costs associated with fundraising initiatives for ECP. Evercore expects to realize cost savings in the future due to these changes.

Acquisition and Transition Costs. The Company has reflected Acquisition and Transition Costs for costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of SFS and the formation of ETC. This charge reflects the change in accounting for deal-related costs required by SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, codified under ASC 805, which was effective January 1, 2009.

Exclusion of amortization of intangible assets acquired with Protego, Braveheart, SFS and EAM. The Protego acquisition was undertaken in contemplation of the IPO. The Braveheart acquisition occurred on December 19, 2006. Also excluded is amortization of intangible assets associated with the recent acquisitions of SFS and EAM.

Client Expenses. The Company has reflected the reclassification of reimbursable expenses and expenses associated with revenue sharing engagements with third parties from revenue.

Vesting of unvested equity. Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the vesting of previously granted but unvested equity, and thus the adjusted pro forma results reflect the vesting of all unvested Evercore LP partnership units and event-based stock-based awards. However, management has concluded that at the current time it is not probable that the conditions relating to the vesting of the remaining unvested event-based stock-based awards will be achieved or satisfied.

The unaudited condensed consolidated adjusted pro forma financial information is included for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as being indicative of the Company's results of operations or financial condition had the transactions contemplated in connection with the internal reorganization been completed on the dates assumed.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Adjusted Pro Forma Statements of Operations

    1. The Company has reflected the reclassification of reimbursable expenses
       and expenses associated with revenue sharing engagements with third
       parties from revenue.
    2. Adjusted Pro Forma segment information classifies interest expense on
       short-term repurchase agreements within the Investment Management segment
       as Other Revenue, net, whereas U.S. GAAP results reflect this in Interest
       Expense.  Interest Expense on Long-term Debt is presented as a separate
       line on a segment basis and is included in Interest Expense on a U.S.
       GAAP Basis.
    3. The Company incurred expenses for the three and nine months ended
       September 30, 2009 from the modification of Evercore LP Units, which will
       vest over a five year period, and the vesting of modified equity awards
       in conjunction with an offering during the third quarter of 2009.
    4. Reflects expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets
       acquired in the Protego, Braveheart, SFS and EAM acquisitions.
    5. The Company has reflected charges in conjunction with Evercore's decision
       to suspend capital raising for ECP and other ongoing strategic cost
       management initiatives. The charge relates to the expense required to be
       recorded under U.S. GAAP for stock-based compensation awards that are
       voluntarily forfeited by employees who remain with the Company.  During
       the second quarter of 2009 employees voluntarily forfeited 416,878
       unvested restricted stock units and 250,230 Evercore LP partnership
       units.  The Company has also reflected charges in the first quarter of
       2008, as Special Charges in connection with the write-off of certain
       capitalized costs associated with ECP capital raising initiatives,
       employee severance, accelerated share-based vesting and facilities costs
       associated with the closing of the Los Angeles office.
    6. The Company has reflected Acquisition and Transition Costs for costs
       incurred in connection with the acquisition of SFS and the formation of
       ETC. This charge reflects the change in accounting for deal-related costs
       required by SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, codified under ASC
       805, which was effective January 1, 2009.
    7. Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies,
       Partnerships, a C-Corporation and a Public Corporation and therefore, not
       all of the Company's income is subject to corporate level taxes.  As a
       result, adjustments have been made to increase Evercore's effective tax
       rate to approximately 42% for the three and nine months ended September
       30, 2009.  The effects of these adjustments increased the effective tax
       rate to approximately 44% for the three months ended September 30, 2008
       and decreased the effective tax rate to 38% for the nine months ended
       September 30, 2008.  These adjustments assume that the Company has
       adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C
       Corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates, that all
       deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable
       within the structure on a consolidated basis and that adjustments for
       deferred tax assets related to tax deductions for equity-based
       compensation awards are made directly to stockholders' equity.  The
       decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September
       30, 2008 resulted from a discrete net tax benefit that was realized
       during the quarter.  The Company's effective tax rate would have been 41%
       excluding that benefit.
    8. Reflects adjustment to eliminate noncontrolling interest related to all
       Evercore LP partnership units which are assumed to be converted to Class
       A common stock.
    9. Assumes the vesting of all Evercore LP partnership units and restricted
       stock unit event-based awards and reflects on a weighted average basis,
       the dilution of unvested service-based awards.  In the computation of
       outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP net income per share,
       the unvested Evercore LP partnership units are anti-dilutive and the
       event-based restricted stock units are excluded from the calculation.

    10. Reflects an adjustment for a reduction of compensation expense
        associated with the issuance of restricted stock to the former
        shareholders of Braveheart in the first quarter of 2008 as additional
        deferred consideration pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement
        associated with the Braveheart acquisition.
