The Carlyle Group Announces Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Washington, DC, July 30, 2014 – Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group L.P. (NASDAQ: CG) today reported its unaudited results for the second quarter of 2014, which ended on June 30, 2014.

Carlyle Co-CEO David M. Rubenstein said, “Carlyle raised a significant amount of capital in the second quarter. Our track record, combined with increased demand for alternative investment strategies from large limited partners, led to substantial new fund commitments. Fundraising in our Real Assets segment was particularly strong this quarter.”

Carlyle Co-CEO William E. Conway, Jr. said, “While Carlyle funds continue to produce strong returns for our fund investors, the big story is the strong performance of our European private equity businesses. Carlyle Europe Partners III has appreciated 47% over the past year and has begun generating substantial realized performance fees, further diversifying the composition of Carlyle’s earnings. Our European technology funds are also performing exceptionally well.”

In addition to this release, Carlyle issued a detailed earnings presentation of its second quarter 2014 results, which can be viewed at http://ir.carlyle.com.

Distribution

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.16 per common unit to holders of record at the close of business on August 11, 2014, payable on August 22, 2014.

Second Quarter Distribution

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.16 per common unit to holders of record at the close of business on August 11, 2014, payable on August 22, 2014.

The Carlyle Group Distribution Policy

As further discussed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Carlyle currently anticipates that it will 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 $0.16 per common unit for each of the first three quarters of each year, and, for the fourth quarter of each year, to pay a distribution of at least $0.16 per common unit, that, taken together with the prior quarterly distributions in respect of that year, represents its share, net of taxes and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreement, of Carlyle’s Distributable Earnings in excess of the amount determined by the General Partner 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. Carlyle anticipates that the aggregate amount of its distributions for most years will be less than its Distributable Earnings for that year due to these funding requirements. The declaration and payment of any distributions is at the sole discretion of the General Partner, which may change the distribution policy at any time.

The Carlyle Engine

Carlyle evaluates the underlying performance of its business on four key metrics known as the Carlyle Engine: funds raised, equity invested, carry fund returns and realized proceeds for fund investors. The table below highlights the results of these metrics for Q2 2014, year-to-date (YTD) and for the last twelve months (LTM)¹.

LOGO

Note: Equity Invested and Realized Proceeds reflect carry funds only.

During Q2 2014, within its carry funds, Carlyle generated realized proceeds of $6.5 billion from 142 different investments across 36 carry funds. Carlyle deployed $3.4 billion of equity in 74 new or follow-on investments across 20 carry funds. On an LTM basis, Carlyle realized proceeds of $18.9 billion and invested $8.6 billion.

Carlyle All Segment Results

—

Distributable Earnings (DE): $324 million for Q2 2014 and $1.0 billion on an LTM basis

Distributable Earnings were $1,013 million on an LTM basis, 39% higher than the prior rolling twelve month period. On a post-tax basis, Carlyle generated DE of $0.93 per common unit for Q2 2014.

Fee-Related Earnings were $80 million for Q2 2014 and increased from $31 million in Q2 2013 due to higher management and transaction fees, partially offset by higher compensation expense. Fee-Related Earnings were $200 million on an LTM basis, 17% higher than the prior rolling twelve month period. FRE for Q2 2014 was positively impacted by $30 million in net transaction fees and $25 million in catch up management fee revenue.

Realized Net Performance Fees were $232 million for Q2 2014, compared to $118 million in Q2 2013. For Q2 2014, Realized Net Performance Fees were positively impacted by exits in Allison Transmission, Booz Allen, CommScope and Sermeta, among others. Realized Net Performance Fees were $791 million on an LTM basis, 46% higher than the prior rolling twelve month period. Some of the Q2 2014 exits accelerated from activity expected to occur later in the year, given a strong equity market backdrop.

Realized Investment Income was $12 million in Q2 2014, driven by gains on certain international real estate investments.

—

Economic Net Income (ENI): $318 million for Q2 2014 and $1.4 billion on an LTM basis

Economic Net Income was $1,410 million on an LTM basis, 48% higher than the prior rolling twelve month period. On a post-tax basis, Carlyle generated $0.73 in ENI per Adjusted Unit for Q2 2014. The ENI tax provision was $81 million in Q2 2014, with the increased level of tax in the quarter driven by higher unrealized carry at AlpInvest, as well as the impact of a realized gain on a real estate investment.

Q2 2014 ENI was positively impacted by appreciation of 5% in Carlyle’s carry fund portfolio. Corporate Private Equity carry funds appreciated 5%, Global Market Strategies carry funds appreciated 12% and Real Assets carry funds appreciated 3% compared to the end of Q1 2014. Carry fund appreciation was 20% on an LTM basis.

Distributable Earnings (DE): $262 million for Q2 2014 and $750 million on an LTM basis, 80% higher than the prior LTM. The following components impacted DE in Q2 2014:

Fee-Related Earnings were $45 million in Q2 2014 and $69 million on an LTM basis, compared to ($4) million in Q2 2013, with the increase driven by management fees from higher Fee-Earning Assets Under Management, $30 million in transaction fees net of management fee offsets to our fund investors, and $18 million in catch up fee revenue largely associated with fundraising in our latest vintage financial services fund and our regional buyout funds.

Realized Net Performance Fees were $215 million for Q2 2014 and $665 million on an LTM basis, compared to $86 million for Q2 2013. Carlyle Partners IV and Carlyle Partners V continued to generate the majority of CPE’s realized net performance fee revenue while Carlyle Europe Partners III began to generate realized performance fees with contributions of $44 million in realized net performance fees across three realization events in Q2 2014, which equates to 10% of the gains associated with each transaction.

—

Economic Net Income (ENI): $208 million for Q2 2014 and $1.2 billion on an LTM basis, 82% higher than the prior LTM.

—

Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $64.5 billion as of Q2 2014 (+11% LTM)

Funds Raised in Q2 2014 of $2.7 billion were largely driven by additional closings of our latest vintage financial services, Asia and Europe buyout funds and the first close in our Europe technology fund.

Fee-Earning Assets Under Management were $43.0 billion as of Q2 2014, up 12% from $38.5 billion as of Q2 2013, with the increase driven by $9.5 billion in inflows, partially offset by $5.3 billion in outflows, including distributions and basis step downs.

Distributable Earnings (DE): $22 million for Q2 2014 and $171 million on an LTM basis, 15% lower than the prior LTM. The following components impacted DE in Q2 2014:

Fee-Related Earnings were $17 million in Q2 2014 and $72 million on an LTM basis, compared to $23 million in Q2 2013. The decline in Q2 2014 was driven primarily by higher catch up management fee revenue in Q2 2013, the mix of Assets Under Management and higher expenses from growth initiatives.

Realized Net Performance Fees were $4 million for Q2 2014 and $93 million on an LTM basis, compared to $11 million for Q2 2013, with the decline primarily driven by lower realizations in funds generating realized performance fees.

Realized Investment Income was $1 million for Q2 2014 and $6 million on an LTM basis.

Distributable Earnings (DE): $26 million for Q2 2014 and $37 million on an LTM basis, 59% lower than the prior LTM. The following components impacted DE in Q2 2014:

Fee-Related Earnings were $9 million in Q2 2014 and $19 million on an LTM basis, compared to $6 million in Q2 2013. The increase is attributable to higher management fees from our international energy fund and our latest vintage U.S. real estate fund, partially offset by increased fundraising costs.

Realized Net Performance Fees were $9 million for Q2 2014 and $19 million on an LTM basis, compared to $19 million for Q2 2013. Separately, on July 1, 2014, Carlyle paid $61 million to exercise its option to acquire an allocation of income equal to 40% of the carried interest in NGP Fund X, which is expected to impact Carlyle’s Distributable Earnings upon future carried interest generating exit activities in that fund.

Realized Investment Income was $8 million during Q2 2014, largely attributable to a realized gain on a European real estate investment, partially offset by losses on Urbplan.

Distributable Earnings (DE): $13 million for Q2 2014 and $55 million on an LTM basis, 166% higher than the prior LTM.

Fee-Related Earnings were $9 million for Q2 2014 and $41 million on an LTM basis, compared to $6 million in Q2 2013, with higher management fees from the recent acquisitions of Diversified Global Asset Management (DGAM) and Metropolitan Real Estate Equity Management (MRE) partially offset by higher expenses associated with those acquisitions.

Realized Net Performance Fees were $4 million for Q2 2014 and $15 million on an LTM basis.

Economic Net Income (ENI): $43 million for Q2 2014 and $117 million on an LTM basis, compared to $13 million in Q2 2013.

Economic Net Income, on an LTM basis, increased 254% over the prior LTM, largely driven by higher performance fees at AlpInvest and the impact of the DGAM and MRE acquisitions.

Total performance fees of $130 million and net performance fees of $34 million in Q2 2014 were primarily driven by a 7% appreciation in AlpInvest fund vehicles.

ENI generated by AlpInvest led to $27 million in deferred income taxes for Q2 2014 and $35 million on a year-to-date basis.

—

Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $56.7 billion as of Q2 2014 (+18% LTM)

Fee-Earning AUM of $39.4 billion increased 24% versus Q2 2013, with the increase primarily driven by the activation of mandates at AlpInvest and the acquisitions of DGAM and MRE.

(1) Represents capital raised by our carry funds, NGP management fee funds, NGP carry funds and fund of funds vehicles, net of expired available capital.

(2) Represents capital called by our carry funds, NGP management fee funds, NGP carry funds and fund of funds vehicles, net of fund fees and expenses and investments in our business development companies. Equity invested amounts may vary from capital called due to timing differences between investment acquisition and capital call dates.

(3) Represents distributions from our carry funds, NGP management fee funds, NGP carry funds and fund of funds vehicles, net of amounts recycled and distributions from our business development companies. Distributions are based on when proceeds are actually distributed to investors, which may differ from when they are realized.

(4) Represents the net result of subscriptions to and redemptions from our hedge funds and fund of hedge funds vehicles.

(5) Represents the change in the aggregate collateral balance and principal cash at par of the CLOs/structured products.

(6) Market Appreciation/(Depreciation) represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments and changes in the net asset value of our hedge funds and fund of hedge funds vehicles.

(7) Includes onboarding of fully committed existing funds from another manager and represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds and other changes in Total AUM. Activity during the period is translated at the average rate for the period. Ending balances are translated at the spot rate as of the period end.

(8) Ending balance is comprised of approximately $18.6 billion from our structured credit/other structured product funds, $15.0 billion in our hedge funds, $4.0 billion (including $1.4 billion of Available Capital) in our carry funds, and $0.6 billion from our business development companies.

(9) Amounts related to the NGP management fee funds and the NGP carry fund are based on the latest available information (in certain cases as of March 31, 2014).

(10) The fair market values for our Solutions fund of funds vehicles are based on the latest available valuations of the underlying limited partnership interests (in most cases as of March 31, 2014) as provided by their general partners, plus the net cash flows since the latest valuation, up to June 30, 2014.

(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.

(10) Includes co-investments and certain other stand-alone investments arranged by us.

(11) Aggregate includes the following funds: CJP III, CSABF, CSSAF, CBPF, CPF I, and CCI.

(12) Returns are not considered meaningful, as the investment period commenced in May 2012 for CP VI, November 2012 for CAP IV, December 2011 for CGFSP II, September 2013 for CIEP, and March 2014 for CRP VII.

(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, Energy I and Renew I.

(15) Aggregate includes the following fund: CPOCP

(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. In instances where a successor fund has had its first capital call, the predecessor fund is categorized as fully committed.

(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 June 30, 2014, these excluded investments represent $0.7 billion of AUM at AlpInvest and $2.0 billion of AUM at Metropolitan.

(20) To exclude the impact of FX, all foreign currency cash flows have been converted to Euro at the reporting period spot rate.

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

(22) Represents the U.S. dollar equivalent balance translated at the spot rate as of period end.

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 excludes the impact of income taxes, acquisition-related items including amortization 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 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. For periods prior to its Initial Public Offering, ENI also reflects pro forma compensation expense for compensation to senior Carlyle professionals, which Carlyle has accounted for as distributions from equity rather than as employee compensation for periods prior to its Initial Public Offering. 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 direct base compensation and operating expenses from fee revenues other than performance fees. For periods prior to its Initial Public Offering, Fee-Related Earnings also reflects pro forma compensation expense for compensation to senior Carlyle professionals, which Carlyle has accounted for as distributions from equity rather than as employee compensation for periods prior to its Initial Public Offering. 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 equity holders.

Page | 33

—

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, NGP carry 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, 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 NGP carry funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. In addition, our Solutions segment includes certain assets under consultative relationships. Total AUM includes only those assets that earn a material fee. 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.

Page | 34

“Available capital,” commonly known as “dry powder,” for Carlyle’s carry funds, NGP management fee funds and NGP carry 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 those investment funds that Carlyle advises, including the buyout funds, growth capital funds, real estate funds, infrastructure funds, certain energy funds and distressed debt and mezzanine funds (but excluding Carlyle’s structured credit funds, hedge funds and fund of funds vehicles as well as the NGP management fee funds and NGP carry funds), 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.

“Catch-up management fees” refers to those amounts for management fees charged to fund investors in subsequent closings of a fund that 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 carry funds and certain co-investment vehicles where the investment period has not expired and Metropolitan fund of funds vehicles where the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds has not expired, the amount of limited partner capital commitments, for AlpInvest fund of funds vehicles, the amount of external investor capital commitments during the commitment period, and for NGP management fee funds, 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 Metropolitan fund of funds vehicles where the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds has expired, the remaining amount of limited partner invested capital and for NGP management fee funds where the first investment has been realized, the amount of partner commitments less realized and written-off investments;

Page | 35

(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 aggregate principal amount of the notes of our other structured products;

(d) the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage) of our Business Development Companies;

(e) the external investor portion of the net asset value (pre-redemptions and subscriptions) of our long/short credit, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic, fund of hedge funds vehicles, and other hedge 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 NGP carry funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. In addition, our Solutions segment includes certain assets under consultative relationships. Fee-Earning AUM includes only those assets which earn a material fee.

For Carlyle’s carry funds, co-investment vehicles, NGP management fee funds, NGP carry 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 carry funds” refer to those funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries) from which we are entitled to receive a carried interest.

“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.

Page | 36

“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 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 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.
