The Carlyle Group Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results

Washington, DC, February 11, 2015 – Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group L.P. (NASDAQ: CG) today reported its unaudited results for the full year and fourth quarter, ended December 31, 2014.

Carlyle Co-CEO David M. Rubenstein said, “This was our best year as a public company. Carlyle generated our highest level of Distributable Earnings since going public. We are pleased to be able to pay a full year distribution of $2.09 to Carlyle common unitholders for 2014. Beginning with the first quarter of 2015, we are adjusting our distribution policy and will distribute approximately 75% of our post-tax Distributable Earnings on a quarterly basis instead of through a year-end true up.”

Carlyle Co-CEO William E. Conway, Jr. said, “The past year was exceptional for realizations and returning capital to our limited partners. With our major funds reloaded, we are well positioned to take advantage of market volatility, particularly in the energy sector. Perhaps our best performing large buyout fund was in Europe, where our third European fund appreciated 9% for the quarter and 46% for the year.”

In addition to this release, Carlyle issued a full detailed presentation of its fourth quarter and full year 2014 results, which can be viewed on the investor relations section of our website at ir.carlyle.com.

Distribution

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution of $1.61 per common unit to holders of record at the close of business on February 23, 2015, payable on March 6, 2015.

Conference Call

Carlyle will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 to announce its fourth quarter and full year 2014 financial results.

The amount to be distributed could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. The declaration and payment of any distributions is at the sole discretion of Carlyle’s general partner, which may change or eliminate the distribution policy at any time.

LOGO

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

Carlyle invested $1.6 billion of equity in 105 new or follow-on investments across 27 carry funds in Q4 2014. For 2014, Carlyle realized proceeds of $19.7 billion and invested $9.8 billion.

Carlyle All Segment Results

—

Distributable Earnings (DE): $311 million for Q4 2014 and $973 million for 2014

Distributable Earnings were $973 million for 2014, 16% higher than 2013. On a post-tax basis, Carlyle generated DE of $0.91 and $2.78 per common unit for Q4 2014 and 2014, respectively.

Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $67 million for Q4 2014 compared to $39 million in Q4 2013 due to higher management fees and lower discretionary, cash-based compensation expense. FRE of $247 million in 2014 were 62% higher than 2013, and were positively impacted by catch-up management fee and transaction fee revenue.

Realized Net Performance Fees were $264 million for Q4 2014, compared to $355 million in Q4 2013. Realized net performance fees were $733 million in 2014, 9% higher than 2013. For Q4 2014, realized net performance fees were positively impacted by exits in RAC Limited, Axalta Coating Systems, PQ Corporation and HD Supply, among others, and by U.S. Real Estate asset dispositions.

Realized Investment Income/(Loss) was ($20) million in Q4 2014, driven by losses on certain international Real Estate investments and Urbplan. For 2014, realized investment loss was ($6) million compared to realized investment income of $11 million in 2013.

—

Economic Net Income (ENI): $181 million for Q4 2014 and $962 million for 2014

Economic Net Income was $962 million for 2014, which was 25% lower than 2013. ENI was particularly elevated in 2013 as two significant funds crossed into a full carry position. Q4 2014 ENI was impacted by the absence of hedge fund performance fees and negative performance fees in legacy energy funds. On a post-tax basis, Carlyle generated ENI per Adjusted Unit of $0.56 for Q4 2014 and $2.68 for 2014. The fourth quarter ENI tax benefit was $2 million, primarily driven by the reversal of carry in energy-related funds.

Q4 2014 ENI was positively impacted by appreciation of 1% in Carlyle’s carry fund portfolio. Corporate Private Equity carry funds appreciated 7%, while Global Market Strategies carry funds declined by 2% and Real Assets carry funds declined by 8% compared to the end of Q3 2014. Total carry fund appreciation was 15% for 2014, compared to 20% in 2013.

See Appendix I and II for our reclassified quarterly results.

Carry Fund Performance and Net Accrued Performance Fees

The Carlyle Group carry fund valuations increased 1% during the fourth quarter of 2014. Over the past twelve months, Carlyle’s carry fund portfolio increased 15%. Carlyle’s public portfolio appreciated 7% during Q4 2014, while its private portfolio depreciated 1%. Excluding the impact of energy-related funds on the portfolio, total and public appreciation would have been 6% and 19%, respectively. Carlyle’s portfolio was primarily impacted by appreciation in Carlyle Partners V and Carlyle Europe Partners III, largely offset by depreciation in NGP X, Energy III and Energy IV. Energy was a negative contributor to quarterly appreciation, but its impact on financial results was partially mitigated by the lower economics of our interests in the performance fees from Legacy Energy funds, which range from 16% to 40%, with a weighted average of 20% based on remaining fair value invested.

Net accrued performance fees of $1.8 billion declined from $1.9 billion at the end of Q3 2014 and were largely unchanged compared to Q4 2013. As of Q4 2014, energy-related net accrued performance fees, across Natural Resources, Legacy Energy, and Global Market Strategies, were $60 million, or approximately 3% of total firm net accrued performance fees.

Note: Carlyle’s “carry funds” refer to (i) those investment funds that we advise, including the buyout funds, growth capital funds, real estate funds, infrastructure funds, certain energy funds and distressed debt and mezzanine funds (but excluding our structured credit funds, hedge funds, business development companies, mutual funds, and fund of funds vehicles), where we receive a special residual allocation of income, which we refer to as a carried interest, in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund and (ii) those investment funds advised by NGP from which we are entitled to receive a carried interest. Note: Appreciation / (Depreciation) represents unrealized gain / (losses) for the period on a total return basis before fees and expenses. The percentage of return is calculated as: ending remaining investment fair market value plus net investment outflow (sales proceeds minus net purchases) minus beginning remaining investment fair market value divided by beginning remaining investment fair market value. Fund only, does not include co-investment. The Global Market Strategies segment includes carry funds only and does not include structured credit funds, hedge funds, business development companies, and mutual funds.

(1) Natural Resources is comprised of NGP, infrastructure, power, and international energy funds.

(2) NGP X was previously categorized as an NGP management fee fund, but as of July 1, 2014, is categorized as a Natural Resources carry fund. Results include NGP X since July 1, 2014.

(3) We generally earn performance fees (or carried interest) from our carry funds representing a 20% allocation of profits generated on third-party capital after returning the invested capital, the allocation of preferred returns of generally 8% or 9% and return of certain fund costs. Our net interest in the performance fees after allocations to our investment professionals or other parties varies based on each fund. For our Corporate Private Equity, Global Market Strategies, Real Estate and Natural Resources carry funds (excluding NGP) our net interest in performance fees is generally 55%. Our net interest in the performance fees from our NGP carry funds ranges from 40% to 47.5%. Our net interest in the performance fees from our Legacy Energy carry funds generally ranges from 16% to 40%, with a weighted average of 20% based on remaining fair value invested.

Corporate Private Equity (CPE)

LOGO

—

Distributable Earnings (DE): $263 million for Q4 2014 and $790 million for 2014.

Fee-Related Earnings were $33 million in Q4 2014 and $129 million for 2014, compared to $4 million in Q4 2013 and $9 million for 2013. The increase in Q4 2014 was driven by higher relative management fees compared to Q4 2013, as well as lower compensation expense due to lower than projected annual bonus payments.

Realized Net Performance Fees were $223 million for Q4 2014 and $644 million for 2014, compared to $271 million and $513 million for Q4 2013 and 2013, respectively. Carlyle Partners V and Carlyle Europe Partners III generated the majority of CPE performance fees in Q4, with additional positive impact from Carlyle Partners IV and certain coinvestment vehicles.

—

Economic Net Income (ENI): $236 million for Q4 2014 and $862 million for 2014. The decline in both periods compared to Q4 2013 and 2013 is largely attributable to the impact in 2013 of Carlyle Europe Partners III and Carlyle Asia Partners III transitioning through the catch up phase and into a full carry position, which increased Q4 2013 net performance fees by $350 million.

CPE carry fund valuations increased 7% in Q4 2014 and 23% for 2014, compared to an increase of 9% in Q4 2013 and 30% for 2013.

Net Performance Fees of $208 million for Q4 2014 and $744 million for 2014, compared to $535 million for Q4 2013 and $1.0 billion for 2013.

Distributable Earnings (DE): $24 million for Q4 2014 and $91 million for 2014.

Fee-Related Earnings were $18 million in Q4 2014 and $64 million in 2014, compared to $21 million in Q4 2013 and $86 million in 2013. The decline in Q4 2014 was driven primarily by lower management fees owing to $8 million in subordinated management fees realized in Q4 2013 that did not recur. The decline in full year FRE is largely attributable to lower management fees and higher annual compensation expenses compared to 2013, primarily attributable to the addition of new employees related to new products in 2014.

Realized Net Performance Fees were $5 million for Q4 2014 and $19 million in 2014, compared to $79 million for Q4 2013 and $110 million in 2013. Realized net performance fees declined compared to both periods due to the absence of realized net performance fees from our hedge fund partnerships, which totaled $77 million in Q4 2013 and $85 million in 2013.

Realized Investment Income was $2 million for Q4 2014 and $8 million for 2014.

Economic Net Income (ENI): $13 million for Q4 2014 and $115 million for 2014.

GMS carry fund valuations decreased 2% in Q4 2014, compared with 10% appreciation in Q4 2013. The asset-weighted hedge fund performance of our reported funds was -9% in Q4 2014.

Net Performance Fees of $1 million for Q4 2014 and $60 million for 2014, compared to $43 million for Q4 2013 and $129 million for 2013. Relative to Q4 2013, net performance fees in Q4 2014 were negatively impacted by the lack of hedge fund performance fees and lower carry fund performance.

—

Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $36.7 billion as of Q4 2014 (+4% in 2014).

Fee-Earning AUM of $33.9 billion increased 1% versus Q4 2013.

Total hedge fund AUM ended Q4 2014 at $13.4 billion. Net redemption notifications received during Q4 2014 will reduce January 1, 2015 hedge fund AUM by approximately $2.2 billion.

GMS carry fund AUM ended Q4 2014 at $4.0 billion.

Total structured credit and other products AUM ended Q4 2014 at $18.5 billion.

Distributable Earnings (DE): $12 million for Q4 2014 and $48 million for 2014.

Fee-Related Earnings were $10 million in Q4 2014 and $22 million for 2014, compared to $3 million in Q4 2013 and $25 million in 2013. The increase in Q4 2014 Fee-Related Earnings is primarily attributable to higher management fees driven by our latest vintage U.S. Real Estate and our international energy funds. In Q4 2014, Real Assets generated $5 million in catch-up management fee revenue, driven primarily by additional closings in the latest vintage U.S. Real Estate fund.

Realized Net Performance Fees were $31 million for Q4 2014 and $58 million for 2014, compared to $1 million in Q4 2013 and $45 million in 2013. During 2014, U.S. Real Estate funds had realized net performance fees of $40 million, compared to $7 million in 2013.

Realized Investment Income/(Loss) was ($29) million for Q4 2014 and ($32) million for 2014, attributable to realized losses on a mezzanine loan investment to one of our European Real Estate funds and our investment in Urbplan. At December 31, 2014, our remaining investment in the mezzanine loan was approximately 24 million Euros and in Urbplan was approximately $21 million. However, we estimate that Urbplan will require approximately $25 million of additional capital in 2015 to complete its expected business turnaround.

—

Economic Net Income/(Loss) (ENI): ($76) million for Q4 2014 and ($59) million for 2014.

Real Assets carry fund valuations depreciated 8% in Q4 2014 and 2% in 2014, compared to a decline of 1% in Q4 2013 and an increase of 1% in 2013. In Q4 2014, Real Estate carry funds increased 8%, Natural Resources carry funds declined 8%, and Legacy Energy carry funds declined 17%.

Net Performance Fees of ($72) million for Q4 2014 and ($13) million for 2014, compared to ($3) million for Q4 2013 and $31 million for 2013, with the decline primarily driven by losses in energy-related funds.

Unrealized investment income of $20 million for Q4 2014 was primarily driven by the reclassification of prior unrealized losses to realized losses during Q4 2014.

—

Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $42.3 billion as of Q4 2014 (+9% in 2014).

Funds Raised in Q4 2014 of $1.8 billion were driven largely by closings in our latest vintage U.S. Real Estate and power funds, our new international energy fund and NGP’s latest generation energy fund, NGP XI.

Fee-Earning AUM of $28.4 billion was unchanged versus Q4 2013. Fee-Earning AUM does not yet include $3.5 billion of funds raised for NGP XI through Q4 2014.

Distributable Earnings (DE): $12 million for Q4 2014 and $44 million for 2014.

Fee-Related Earnings were $6 million for Q4 2014 and $32 million for 2014, compared to $10 million for Q4 2013 and $32 million for 2013, with higher management fees offset by higher compensation and general and administrative expenses related to investments in our infrastructure to integrate various acquired businesses into Investment Solutions.

Realized Net Performance Fees were $5 million for Q4 2014 and $12 million for 2014, compared to $4 million in Q4 2013 and $7 million in 2013.

—

Economic Net Income (ENI): $7 million for Q4 2014 and $45 million for 2014.

Economic Net Income in 2014 increased 19% over 2013, largely driven by higher net performance fees at AlpInvest and the impact of the Diversified Global Asset Management (DGAM) and Metropolitan Real Estate (MRE) acquisitions.

—

During Q4 2014, we reclassified certain tax expenses associated with carried interest attributable to former partners and employees as a component of performance fee related compensation expense. All prior interim periods have been reclassified to conform with our new presentation. As a result of this change, for Investment Solutions for full year 2014, ENI decreased $25.3 million and DE decreased $5.2 million. However, there was no impact on Carlyle’s after-tax ENI per Adjusted Unit or after-tax DE per common unit. See Appendix I and II for more information regarding our reclassified quarterly results.

—

Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $50.8 billion as of Q4 2014 (+2% in 2014).

Total AUM declined 6% from Q3 2014 due to negative foreign exchange impact of $1.1 billion, distributions of $2.7 billion, and net redemptions of $0.9 billion, partially offset by $1.2 billion in market appreciation.

Fee-Earning AUM of $33.1 billion declined 6% versus Q4 2013, as $5.9 billion of inflows, including fee-paying commitments and $2.9 billion in acquisition related Fee-Earning AUM, were partially offset by $6.3 billion in outflows including distributions, $3.8 billion in foreign exchange losses and $1.0 billion in net redemptions.

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 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.

(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 coinvestments and certain other stand-alone investments arranged by us.

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

(12) Returns are not considered meaningful, as the investment period commenced in May 2012 for CP VI, November 2012 for CAP IV, April 2013 for CGFSP II, August 2013 for CEP IV, September 2013 for CIEP I, March 2014 for CRP VII, and June 2014 for NGP XI.

(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, CPOCP, Energy I and Renew I.

(15) Aggregate includes the following funds: CPP II and NGP GAP.

(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 December 31, 2014, these excluded investments represent $0.6 billion of AUM at AlpInvest and $2.0 billion of AUM at Metropolitan.

(20) For purposes of aggregation, funds that report in foreign currency 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.

(23) NGP X was previously categorized as an NGP management fee fund, but as of July 1, 2014, is categorized as a Natural Resources carry fund.

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 includes certain tax expense associated with performance fee compensation and excludes the impact of all other 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. In Q4 2014, Carlyle reclassified certain tax expenses associated with carried interest attributable to former partners and employees as a component of performance fee related compensation expense; all prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. Carlyle believes the inclusion or 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. 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. 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 unitholders. In Q4 2014, as a result of Carlyle reclassifying certain

Page | 34

tax expenses associated with carried interest attributable to former partners and employees as a component of realized performance fee related compensation expense, the amounts for Distributable Earnings are different than previously reported; all prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

—

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. In Q4 2014, as a result of Carlyle reclassifying certain tax expenses associated with carried interest attributable to former partners and employees as a component of realized and unrealized performance fee related compensation expense, the amounts for Adjusted EBITDA are different than previously reported; all prior periods have been recast to conform with the current presentation.

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 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, mutual fund, 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 carry funds

Page | 35

advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. 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.

“Available capital,” commonly known as “dry powder,” for Carlyle’s carry funds and NGP management fee 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 (i) 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/other structured product funds, hedge funds, business development companies, mutual fund and fund of funds vehicles), 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 and (ii) those investment funds advised by NGP from which we are entitled to receive a carried interest.

“Catch-up management fees” refer to those amounts of management fees charged to fund investors in subsequent closings of a fund which 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 certain carry funds and 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 and carry funds advised by NGP, the amount of investor capital commitments before the first investment realization;

Page | 36

(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 and carry funds advised by NGP where the first investment has been realized, the amount of partner commitments less realized and written-off investments;

(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 net asset value of our mutual fund or 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 carry funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. Fee-Earning AUM includes only those assets which earn a material fee.

For Carlyle’s carry funds, co-investment vehicles, NGP management fee 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 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 | 37

“Net accrued performance fees” refers to the accrued performance fees that are attributable to Carlyle’s unitholders. This balance is comprised of accrued performance fees less: accrued giveback obligations, accrued performance fee compensation (inclusive of related tax obligations), and accrued performance fees attributable to non-controlling interests. This balance also excludes net accrued performance fees that have been realized but will be collected in subsequent periods.

“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 (including related tax expense) 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 (including related tax expense) 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.
