The Carlyle Group Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Financial Results

Washington, DC, February 8, 2017 – Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group L.P. (NASDAQ: CG) today reported its unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016.

Carlyle Co-CEO David M. Rubenstein said, “Our core business performed well in 2016, but obviously we are disappointed with the losses in our hedge fund business. We are focused on raising $100 billion in new capital over several years, scaling our global credit business, and performing well for our fund and unitholder investors.”

Carlyle Co-CEO William E. Conway, Jr. said, “We concluded an active 2016 with strong performance in the principal operating metrics of our economic model. We deployed a record amount of capital in 2016, and returned a record $30 billion to our carry fund investors. Our investment performance remained strong, as carry funds appreciated 12% during 2016, and 5% during the fourth quarter.”

U.S. GAAP results for Q4 2016 and 2016 included income before provision for income taxes of $12 million and $45 million, and net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders through The Carlyle Group L.P. of $(9) million and $6 million, or net income (loss) per common unit of $(0.16) and $(0.08), on a diluted basis. Total balance sheet assets were $10 billion as of December 31, 2016.

In addition to this release, Carlyle issued a full detailed presentation of its fourth quarter and full year 2016 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 $0.16 per common unit to holders of record at the close of business on February 21, 2017, payable on February 28, 2017. For full year 2016, the Board of Directors declared $1.55 in aggregate distributions to common unitholders.

Conference Call

Carlyle will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday, February 8, 2017, to announce its fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results. The call may be accessed by dialing +1 (800) 850-2903 (U.S.) or +1 (253) 237-1169 (international) and referencing “The Carlyle Group Financial Results Call.” The conference call will be webcast simultaneously via a link on Carlyle’s investor relations website at ir.carlyle.com and an archived replay of the webcast also will be available on the website soon after the live call.

Notable Impacts on Q4 2016 and Full Year 2016 Results

Included in our Q4 2016 and full year 2016 results are several impacts from ongoing litigation, losses in Vermillion Asset Management and giveback as well as our separation from Claren Road Asset Management. Specifically:

•

Losses in commodities: Our 2016 earnings results include $175 million in charges within Global Market Strategies relating to losses in Vermillion Asset Management (VAM), principally resulting from the misappropriation of petroleum commodities by third parties outside the U.S. from various VAM investment vehicles. During Q4 2016 we repurchased investor interests in one of the VAM vehicles for $100 million, settling potential claims and acquiring their rights to future recoveries. In Q3 2016, we reserved $100 million against U.S. GAAP and Economic Net Income, which was not reflected in Fee-Related Earnings or Distributable Earnings until Q4 2016. In total, U.S. GAAP, Economic Net Income, Fee-Related Earnings and Distributable Earnings were all negatively impacted by $175 million in 2016.


•	Insurance recovery: Q4 2016 results reflect the inclusion of approximately $25 million of insurance recoveries related to ongoing legal matters.

•

Transfer of Carlyle’s Interest in Claren Road Asset Management Back to Founders: During the fourth quarter, we agreed with Claren Road to transfer our ownership stake in Claren Road back to its founders. This transaction closed on January 31, 2017. We incurred approximately $25 million in charges to complete this transaction and it is reflected in our Q4 2016 results. In addition, we also completed the separation from Emerging Sovereign Group in Q4 2016 and have eliminated all hedge fund AUM from our metrics as of December 31, 2016.

The above items have all been attributed to GMS in our segment reporting. Our Q3 2016 U.S. GAAP and Economic Net Income results allocated the $100 million in charges across our business segments in accordance with our allocation policies, while results in Q4 2016 attribute all of the losses to the GMS segment and reverse the charges in our other business segments.


•	Legacy Energy Giveback: During Q4 2016, we realized the giveback obligations related to the second and third Legacy Energy funds, thereby reducing Distributable Earnings by $36 million in the quarter. The realization of these liabilities had no impact on GAAP earnings or Economic Net Income. Legacy Energy is included in our Real Assets segment.

Changes to Disclosure and Presentation of Key Performance Metrics

Investment funds and vehicles advised by Alpinvest Partners B.V. and Metropolitan Real Estate Equity Management, LLC, which comprise our Investment Solutions segment, are now included in our "carry funds" definition. Accordingly, they are now included in our Invested Capital, Realized Proceeds and Fund Appreciation metrics. We have recast metrics for 2016 and conformed all prior periods, including supplemental key metrics information available on our website. In addition, we have also adjusted the methodology for recognition of Invested Capital to an investment timing basis, rather than the timing of cash flows to and from our fund investors, to better reflect capital deployed by our funds during a given period. As a result, our Q4 2016 Invested Capital reflects a true-up of approximately $0.5 billion for capital invested in prior periods that had not been called from investors as of September 30, 2016.

Unitholder Distribution

Distribution Policy

It is Carlyle’s intention to 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 approximately 75% of Distributable Earnings per common unit, net of taxes and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreement, for the quarter. Carlyle’s general partner may adjust the distribution for amounts determined 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, or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, giveback obligations and distributions to unitholders for any ensuing quarter. 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.

Performance Metrics

Carlyle evaluates the underlying performance of its business on four key metrics: net funds raised, invested capital, fund appreciation and realized proceeds for fund investors. The table below highlights the results of these metrics for Q4 2016, and full year 2016 and 2015. Beginning in Q4 2016, and conforming prior periods, we now include Investment Solutions carry fund metrics in invested capital, realized proceeds and fund appreciation. Investment funds and vehicles in the Investment Solutions segment historically were only included in net funds raised.

During Q4 2016, Carlyle generated $2.7 billion of net funds raised. Carlyle raised gross new capital of $3.5 billion across its fund platform, which was partially offset by redemptions of $0.6 billion in our hedge fund partnerships and the return of $0.2 billion in fund investor capital related to our previously announced wind down of Diversified Global Asset Management. Carlyle raised gross new capital of $13.9 billion in 2016, compared to $22.5 billion in gross new capital raised in 2015.

During Q4 2016, Carlyle generated realized proceeds of $8.7 billion and invested $6.1 billion. For 2016, Carlyle generated a record $29.6 billion in realized proceeds and invested a record $17.9 billion.



Net Funds Raised					Invested Capital
Q4	$2.7 billion				Q4	$6.1 billion
	2016:	$8.2 bn	2015:	$16.4 bn		2016:	$17.9 bn	2015:	$14.0 bn

Realized Proceeds					Fund Appreciation
Q4	$8.7 billion				Q4	5%
	2016:	$29.6 bn	2015:	$28.9 bn		2016:	12%	2015:	12%

Note: Invested Capital, Realized Proceeds and Fund Appreciation reflect carry funds only. Invested Capital in Q4 2016 reflects a true-up of approximately $0.5 billion for investment activity in prior periods that had not been called from investors as of September 30, 2016.

Carlyle Consolidated GAAP Results

Net income (loss) attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. was $(9) million, or $(0.16) per common unit on a diluted basis, for Q4 2016 and $6 million, or $(0.08) per common unit on a diluted basis, for 2016, as compared to $(5) million, or $(0.06) per common unit on a diluted basis, for Q4 2015, and $(18) million, or $(0.30) per common unit on a diluted basis, for 2015.

•

Income (loss) before provision for income taxes⁽¹⁾ was $12 million and $(158) million for Q4 2016 and Q4 2015, respectively, and $45 million and $402 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in income before provision for income taxes in Q4 2016 compared to Q4 2015 includes an increase in investment income of $26 million and a decrease in general, administrative and other expenses of $15 million due to intangible asset impairments in Q4 2015. As it relates to the full year, net performance fees increased $85 million, investment income increased $145 million, primarily due to our investments in NGP, and general, administrative and other expenses decreased by $192 million, primarily due to intangible asset impairment charges in 2015. These increases in income (loss) before provision for income taxes in 2016 as compared to 2015 were partially offset by charges for litigation and contingencies in 2016 in excess of charges in 2015. Both Q4 2016 and the full year 2016 saw an increase in base compensation due to the impact of the transaction with Claren Road (which is recorded in general, administrative and other indirect expenses in the segment results). Also affecting the change in both Q4 and annual periods is the deconsolidation of the fund of funds vehicles and hedge funds, as well as many of the CLOs, on January 1, 2016, as a result of the adoption of new U.S. GAAP consolidation guidance.

•

Net income (loss) attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. was $(9) million or $(0.16) per common unit on a diluted basis for Q4 2016 and $6 million or $(0.08) per common unit on a diluted basis for 2016. For 2016, The Carlyle Group L.P. has $6 million of income despite a $(26) million loss attributable to Carlyle Holdings due to a benefit for income taxes attributable solely to The Carlyle Group L.P. For purposes of the diluted earnings per unit calculation, Carlyle Holdings partnership units are assumed to have converted to common units of The Carlyle Group L.P., and therefore, substantially all of the net loss of Carlyle Holdings is attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. resulting in a diluted loss per common unit.

(1) Income (loss) before provision for income taxes is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to Economic Net Income (ENI) and Distributable Earnings, metrics which management uses to measure the performance of the business. In most periods, income (loss) before provision for income taxes will be lower than ENI principally due to excluding from ENI equity compensation from equity issued in conjunction with the initial public offering, acquisitions and strategic investments, as well as other acquisition-related charges, including amortization of intangibles and impairment. In periods of positive earnings, net income (loss) attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. typically will be lower than ENI as net income (loss) attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. only includes the portion of earnings (approximately 26% before taxes as of December 31, 2016) that is attributable to the public unitholders whereas the calculation of ENI reflects the adjusted earnings attributable to all unitholders. A full reconciliation is included on page 33. See "Non-GAAP Financial Information and Other Key Terms" for additional information.

Carlyle All Segment Results


•	Distributable Earnings (DE): $7 million for Q4 2016 and $652 million for 2016

◦

Distributable Earnings were $7 million for Q4 2016, or $0.00 per common unit on a post-tax basis, compared to $145 million for Q4 2015. Reducing Q4 2016 DE is the $175 million in net charges within Global Market Strategies (GMS) relating to losses in our commodities business and separation from Claren Road Asset Management, as well as the $36 million realized giveback for two Legacy Energy funds. DE was $652 million for 2016, 29% lower than 2015. Excluding the impact of the GMS charges, 2016 DE would have been $827 million.

◦

Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $(145) million for Q4 2016 relative to $43 million in Q4 2015, with the decline due primarily to the impact of the $175 million in net charges charges within GMS. Excluding the GMS charges, Q4 2016 FRE would have been $30 million compared to $43 million in Q4 2015, with the decline primarily attributable to lower management fees in CPE due to significant realization activities. FRE was $(19) million in 2016, or $156 million excluding the impact of GMS charges, 21% lower than 2015, primarily owing to a $64 million decline in catch-up management fees compared to 2015 due to the absence of large funds in fundraising during 2016.


◦	Realized Net Performance Fees were $136 million for Q4 2016, compared to $100 million for Q4 2015, due to strong public market exit activity. For Q4 2016, net realized performance fees included fees related to full or partial exits in Booz Allen, CommScope, Zodiac Pool and CVC, among others. Realized Net Performance Fees were $625 million in 2016, 21% lower than 2015.


◦	Realized Investment Income was $17 million in Q4 2016 and $45 million in 2016, with gains in U.S. Buyout, Natural Resources and U.S. Structured Credit, partially offset by realized losses in Urbplan Desenvolvimento Urbano S.A. ("Urbplan").


•	Economic Net Income (ENI): $6 million for Q4 2016 and $306 million in 2016. Excluding the impact of the GMS charges relating to our commodities business, pre-tax ENI would have been $481 million for 2016.


◦	Q4 2016 ENI was positively impacted by strong appreciation in our Europe Buyout and U.S. Real Estate funds. Net performance fees were $61 million in Q4 2016 compared to $109 million in Q4 2015.


◦	Carlyle generated $0.02 on a post-tax ENI basis for Q4 2016.

Carry Fund Performance and Net Accrued Performance Fees

Carlyle's carry fund portfolio valuation increased 5% during Q4 2016 and 12% in 2016. Across our Corporate Private Equity, Real Assets and Global Market Strategies carry funds, the public and private portfolio both appreciated 4% during Q4 2016. The Investment Solutions carry funds appreciated 7% during Q4 2016. Fourth quarter carry fund valuations were positively impacted by strength in our second and third Europe Buyout funds, our fifth U.S. Buyout fund and our latest U.S. Real Estate fund, offset by 1% depreciation in our sixth U.S. Buyout fund (CP VI). The modest quarterly depreciation in CP VI is primarily attributable to the deployment of over $1.0 billion in new capital during the quarter at or below investment cost to account for transaction fees. CP VI appreciated 29% during 2016 and is now approximately 64% invested or committed.

As of December 31, 2016, net accrued performance fees of $1.1 billion were down from $1.2 billion at September 30, 2016 and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2015. The decline compared to Q4 2015 is primarily due to strong exit activity in Corporate Private Equity funds that realized carry throughout 2016.

Net Accrued Performance Fees													$1,071

(1) Appreciation/(Depreciation) represents unrealized gain/(loss) 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.

(2) “Carry funds” generally refers to closed-end investment vehicles, in which commitments are drawn down over a specified investment period, and in which the general partner receives a special residual allocation of income from limited partners, which we refer to as carried interest, in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund. Disclosures referring to carry funds will also include the impact of certain commitments which do not earn carried interest, but are either part of, or associated with our carry funds. The rate of carried interest, as well as the share of carried interest allocated to Carlyle, may vary across the carry fund platform. See "Non-GAAP Financial Info and Other Key Terms" for more information.

(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 7% to 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 the 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 18% based on remaining fair value invested as of December 31, 2016.

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

•	Distributable Earnings (DE): $191 million for Q4 2016 and $739 million for 2016, compared to $798 million in 2015.

◦

Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $19 million for Q4 2016, compared to $17 million for Q4 2015. The increase in Q4 2016 was primarily driven by a $9 million decline in fee revenues, offset by a $7 million decrease in cash compensation expense and lower general and administrative expenses. FRE was $91 million for 2016, compared to $106 million for 2015, with the decrease primarily driven by a decrease in catch-up management fees.

◦

Realized Net Performance Fees were $159 million for Q4 2016, compared to $62 million for Q4 2015, with the increase primarily driven by higher realized proceeds of $3.6 billion in Q4 2016 relative to $2.3 billion in Q4 2015. Carlyle Partners V, Carlyle Europe Partners III and Carlyle Europe Partners II generated the majority of CPE's realized net performance fees in Q4 2016. Realized Net Performance Fees were $588 million for 2016, compared to $669 million for 2015.


◦	Realized Investment Income was $14 million for Q4 2016, compared to $1 million for Q4 2015. Results for Q4 2016 were primarily driven by realized gains on U.S. Buyout investments. Realized Investment Income was $60 million for 2016, compared to $23 million for 2015.

•

Economic Net Income (ENI): $71 million for Q4 2016 and $224 million for 2016, compared to $400 million for 2015. The 2016 decline relative to 2015 was largely attributable to lower fund appreciation of 11% in 2016 compared to 13% in 2015, and modestly lower FRE. A significant amount of fund appreciation in 2016 occurred in funds not yet in carry or funds within their catch up periods, limiting the overall impact on performance fees.


◦	CPE carry fund valuations increased 4% in Q4 2016 and increased 11% in 2016, compared to an increase of 3% in Q4 2015 and an increase of 13% in 2015.


◦	Net Performance Fees were $0 million for Q4 2016, compared to $87 million for Q4 2015. Net Performance Fees were $154 million for 2016, compared to $367 million for 2015. During Q4 2016, our latest vintage U.S. Buyout fund depreciated modestly, which offset appreciation in other CPE funds and led to lower performance fees relative to prior periods.


•	Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $51 billion as of Q4 2016 (-19% in 2016).


◦	Fee-Earning Assets Under Management of $36 billion were down 4% versus Q3 2016 and down 11% versus Q4 2015. Major drivers of change versus Q3 2016: Outflows, including distributions and basis step downs

(-$1.6 billion) and foreign exchange impact (-$0.6 billion), partially offset by inflows, including fee-paying commitments (+$0.6 billion) and market appreciation (+$0.1 billion).

Invested capital in Q4 2016 reflects a true-up of approximately $0.5 billion for investment activity in prior periods that had not been called from investors as of September 30, 2016.


•	Distributable Earnings (DE): $(20) million for Q4 2016 and $49 million for 2016, compared to $153 million for 2015, excluding the impact of the Q1 2015 French tax judgment of $(80) million.

◦

Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $9 million for Q4 2016, compared to $22 million for Q4 2015. The decrease in Q4 2016 FRE is due to lower catch up management fees of $4 million and higher cash compensation and G&A expense as compared to Q4 2015. FRE was $54 million for 2016, compared to $72 million for 2015, with the decline largely owing to a $15 million decline in catch up management fees in 2016.


◦	Realized Net Performance Fees were $(30) million for Q4 2016, compared to $28 million for Q4 2015. The decrease in Q4 2016 is primarily due to the realization of $36 million in accrued giveback in two of our Legacy Energy funds and lower realized performance fees in our U.S. Real Estate funds. Realized Net Performance Fees were $16 million for 2016, compared to $95 million for 2015.

◦

Realized Investment Income (Loss) was $1 million for Q4 2016, compared to $1 million for Q4 2015. Results for Q4 2016 were positively impacted by gains in NGP Energy and Asia Real Estate, offset by losses in Urbplan. Realized loss was $(21) million in 2016, compared to $(14) million in 2015, excluding the impact of the Q1 2015 French tax judgment. The realized losses for both 2016 and 2015 were primarily attributable to losses in Urbplan.


•	Economic Net Income (ENI): $73 million for Q4 2016 and $217 million for 2016, compared to $68 million for 2015, excluding the impact of the Q1 2015 French tax judgment. The 2016 increase in ENI relative to 2015 was largely attributable to higher net performance fees in our Natural Resources carry funds.


◦	Real Assets carry fund valuations appreciated 4% in Q4 2016 and 18% for 2016. Real Estate valuations appreciated 19% during 2016, and Natural Resource carry fund valuations increased 24% during 2016.


◦	Net Performance Fees were $52 million for Q4 2016, compared to $26 million for Q4 2015. Net performance fees for Q4 2016 were positively impacted by appreciation in U.S. and Asia Real Estate funds, as well as a $23 million reduction in our Legacy Energy giveback accrual. Net Performance Fees were $208 million for 2016, compared to $26 million for 2015.


•	Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $34 billion for Q4 2016 (-10% in 2016).


◦	Funds Raised in Q4 2016 of $0.3 billion were driven by a follow-on closing in our new Core Plus real estate fund in addition to small inflows into certain international real estate funds and vehicles.


◦	Fee-Earning Assets Under Management of $27 billion in Q4 2016 declined by 5% versus Q3 2016 and decreased 11% versus Q4 2015. Major drivers of change versus Q3 2016: Outflows, including distributions (-$1.8 billion), partially offset by inflows, including fee-paying commitments (+$0.4 billion).

•	During Q4 2016, GMS incurred $175 million in DE and FRE net charges associated with our commodities business and our separation from Claren Road Asset Management. See Page 2 for a full description of these charges.


•	Distributable Earnings (DE): $(169) million for Q4 2016 and $(157) million for 2016, compared to $39 million for 2015. Excluding the charges for 2016, DE was $6 million for Q4 2016 and $18 million for 2016.

◦

Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $(177) million, or $(2) million excluding charges for Q4 2016, compared to $3 million for Q4 2015. FRE was $(182) million, or $(7) million excluding charges for 2016, compared to $12 million for 2015. We expect FRE improvement in GMS in 2017 as a result of activating fees in recently raised carry funds and cost reductions related to the hedge funds, tempered by continued investment in building our global credit business.


◦	Realized Net Performance Fees were $6 million for Q4 2016, compared to $8 million for Q4 2015. Realized Net Performance Fees were $19 million for 2016, compared to $21 million for 2015.

•	Economic Net Income (Loss) (ENI): $(155) million for Q4 2016 and $(159) million for 2016, compared to $(40) million for 2015, with the 2016 decline primarily due to the $175 million in net charges related to the commodities business and Claren Road separation, and lower FRE due to lower Fee Earning Assets Under Management in our hedge fund business.


◦	GMS carry fund valuations appreciated 2% in Q4 2016 and depreciated 11% in 2016, as compared to 4% depreciation in Q4 2015 and 8% depreciation in 2015.


◦	Net Performance Fees of $4 million for Q4 2016, compared to $(6) million for Q4 2015. Net Performance Fees were $20 million for 2016, compared to $(14) million for 2015.


•	Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $29 billion as of Q4 2016 (-17% in 2016).


◦	Fee-Earning AUM of $24 billion declined 17% versus Q3 2016 and declined 22% versus Q4 2015.


◦	GMS carry fund AUM ended Q4 2016 at $9.0 billion, an increase from $8.2 billion in Q3 2016. During the quarter, we had follow-on closings in Carlyle Structured Credit and our fourth Distressed Credit fund.


◦	Total structured credit AUM ended Q4 2016 at $18.6 billion, down from $19.0 billion in Q3 2016.

◦

Total AUM reflects no material amounts for hedge funds at the end of Q4 2016, versus $5.2 billion at Q3 2016 and $8.3 billion at Q4 2015. Total AUM as of December 31, 2016 reflects the return of $0.6 billion in gross redemptions to fund investors during Q4 2016, as well as $4.7 billion in divestments related to the transfer of Carlyle's ownership interests in both ESG and Claren Road back to their respective founders.

•	Economic Net Income (ENI) was $17 million for Q4 2016 and $24 million for 2016, compared to $5 million for 2015. The 2016 increase relative to 2015 was largely attributable to lower cash compensation and lower general and administrative expenses.


◦	Net Performance Fees were $5 million for Q4 2016, compared to $2 million in Q4 2015. Net Performance Fees were $13 million for 2016, compared to $13 million for 2015.


•	Total Assets Under Management (AUM) of $43.1 billion in Q4 2016 were 4% lower compared to Q3 2016 and 7% lower than Q4 2015. Major drivers of change versus Q3 2016: Distributions (-$2.8 billion), foreign exchange impact (-$2.1 billion) and net redemptions (-$0.1 billion), partially offset by market appreciation (+$2.5 billion) and commitments (+$1.1 billion).


◦	Funds raised during Q4 2016 include a follow-on closing for AlpInvest's sixth Secondaries fund and several separately managed accounts.


◦	During Q4 2016, DGAM's remaining AUM was reduced to zero with the final redemptions from the funds.

•

Fee-Earning Assets Under Management of $27.1 billion in Q4 2016 was 4% lower than Q3 2016 and was 7% lower than Q4 2015. Major drivers of change versus Q3 2016: Outflows, including distributions and basis step downs (-$2.4 billion), the impact of foreign exchange (-$1.4 billion) and net redemptions (-$0.6 billion), partially offset by inflows, including fee-paying commitments (+$2.2 billion) and market appreciation (+$1.1 billion).

(1) Divestment activity represents ESG assets which were transferred to the ESG founders in a transaction that closed in October 2016 and Claren Road assets which were transferred to the Claren Road founders in a transaction that closed in January 2017.

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

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

(4) Represents distributions from our carry funds and NGP management fee funds, 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.

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

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

(7) Market Appreciation/(Depreciation) represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments and changes in the net asset value of our hedge funds, mutual fund, and fund of hedge funds vehicles. Appreciation for the fourth quarter of 2016 was driven by 4% appreciation in the public portfolio ($0.5 billion) and 4% appreciation ($1.3 billion) in the private portfolio of our Corporate Private Equity, Real Assets, and Global Market Strategies carry funds, in addition to $2.5 billion of appreciation in our Investment Solutions carry funds. Appreciation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 was primarily driven by appreciation in the private and public portfolios of our Corporate Private Equity, Real Assets, and Global Market Strategies carry funds of $3.8 billion (11%) and $2.5 billion (17%), respectively. Remaining market appreciation was driven by appreciation of $4.7 billion in our Investment Solutions carry funds, partially offset by depreciation in our hedge funds and NGP management fee funds.

(8) Represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds and other changes in 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.

(9) Ending balance is comprised of approximately $18.6 billion from our structured credit/other structured product funds, $9.0 billion (including $6.8 billion of Available Capital) in our carry funds, and $1.8 billion from our business development companies.

(10) The fair market values for our Investment Solutions carry funds are based on the latest available valuations of the underlying limited partnership interests (in most cases as of September 30, 2016) as provided by their general partners, plus the net cash flows since the latest valuation, up to December 31, 2016.

(2) Inflows represent limited partner capital raised and capital invested by our carry funds and NGP management fee funds outside the investment period, weighted-average investment period or commitment fee period. Inflows do not include amounts raised of $4.1 billion for which fees have not yet commenced.

(3) Outflows represent limited partner distributions from our carry funds and NGP management fee funds, changes in basis for our carry funds where the investment period, weighted-average investment period or commitment fee period has expired, and reductions for funds that are no longer calling for fees.

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

(5) Represents the change in the aggregate Fee-earning collateral balances at par of our CLOs/structured products, as of the quarterly cut-off dates.

(6) Market Appreciation/(Depreciation) represents changes in the net asset value of our hedge funds, mutual fund and fund of hedge funds vehicles, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds based on the lower of cost or fair value and net asset value.

(7) Includes activity of funds with fees based on gross asset value. Represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds. 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) Energy II, Energy III, Energy IV, Renew I, and Renew II (collectively, the “Legacy Energy Funds”), are managed with Riverstone Holdings LLC and its affiliates. Affiliates of both Carlyle and Riverstone act as investment advisers to each of the Legacy Energy Funds. With the exception of Energy IV and Renew II, where Carlyle has a minority representation on the funds’ management committees, management of each of the Legacy Energy Funds is vested in committees with equal representation by Carlyle and Riverstone, and the consent of representatives of both Carlyle and Riverstone is required for investment decisions. As of December 31, 2016, the Legacy Energy Funds had, in the aggregate, approximately $6.1 billion in AUM and $5.5 billion in Fee-earning AUM. NGP VII, NGP VIII, NGP IX, or in the case of NGP M&R, NGP ETP I, and NGP ETP II, certain affiliated entities (collectively, the “NGP management fee funds”) and NGP X, NGP GAP and NGP XI (referred to herein as, "carry funds"), are managed by NGP Energy Capital Management. As of December 31, 2016, the NGP management fee funds and carry funds had, in the aggregate, approximately $10.1 billion in AUM and $10.0 billion in Fee-earning AUM.

(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.

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

(11) Aggregate, which is considered not meaningful, includes the following funds and their respective commencement dates: CSSAF (April 2012) , CPF I (June 2012), CCI (December 2012), and CETP III (May 2014).

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 fees and excludes the impact of all other income taxes, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, acquisition-related items including amortization and impairment 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 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 collateralized loan obligations (“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. 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 or “FRE,” is a component of ENI and is used to assess the ability of the business to cover base compensation and operating expenses from fee revenues other than performance fees. FRE differs from income (loss) before provision for income taxes computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP in that it adjusts for the items included in the calculation of ENI and also adjusts ENI to exclude net performance fees, investment income (loss), from investments in Carlyle funds, equity-based compensation and certain general, administrative and other expenses when the timing of any future payment is uncertain. FRE is reported as part of Carlyle’s segment results.

•

Distributable Earnings or “DE,” is FRE plus realized net performance fees and realized investment income (loss), and is used to assess performance and amounts potentially available for distribution from Carlyle Holdings to its unitholders. DE is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of Consolidated Funds. DE is evaluated regularly by management in making resource deployment and compensation decisions across our four reportable segments. DE is reported as part of Carlyle's segment results.


•	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 we manage or advise. Our AUM equals the sum of the following:

(a) the fair value of the capital invested in carry funds, related co-investment vehicles and NGP management fee funds 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 our long/short credit, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic, fund of hedge funds vehicles, mutual fund 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 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” generally refers to closed-end investment vehicles, in which commitments are drawn down over a specified investment period, and in which the general partner receives a special residual allocation of income from limited partners, which we refer to as carried interest, in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund. Disclosures referring to carry funds will also include the impact of certain commitments which do not earn carried interest, but are either part of, or associated with our carry funds. The rate of carried interest, as well as the share of carried interest allocated to Carlyle, may vary across the carry fund platform. Carry funds generally include the following investment vehicles across our four business segments:


•	Corporate Private Equity (all): Buyout & growth funds advised by Carlyle


•	Real Assets: Real estate, power, infrastructure and energy funds advised by Carlyle, as well as those energy funds advised by NGP Capital Management in which Carlyle is entitled to receive a share of carried interest


•	Global Market Strategies: Distressed credit, corporate mezzanine and energy credit funds, as well as certain closed-end credit funds advised by Carlyle


•	Investment Solutions: Funds and vehicles advised by AlpInvest Partners B.V. (“AlpInvest”) and Metropolitan Real Estate Equity Management, LLC (“Metropolitan), which include fund, secondary and co-investment strategies

Carry funds specifically exclude those funds advised by NGP Capital Management in which Carlyle is not entitled to receive a share of carried interest (or “NGP management fee funds”), collateralized loan obligation vehicles (CLOs), business development companies, and our hedge fund platform.

“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

Page | 37

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 we manage or advise from which we derive recurring fund management fees. Our Fee-earning AUM is generally based on one of the following, once fees have been activated:

(a)

the amount of limited partner capital commitments, generally for carry funds where the original investment period has not expired, for AlpInvest carry funds during the commitment fee period and for Metropolitan carry funds during the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds (see “Fee-earning AUM based on capital commitments” in the table below for the amount of this component at each period);

(b)

the remaining amount of limited partner invested capital at cost, generally for carry funds and certain co-investment vehicles where the original investment period has expired and Metropolitan carry funds after the expiration of the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds(see “Fee-earning AUM based on invested capital” in the table below for the amount of this component at each period);


(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 (see “Fee-earning AUM based on collateral balances, at par” in the table below for the amount of this component at each period);


(d)	the external investor portion of the net asset value of our hedge fund and fund of hedge funds vehicles (pre redemptions and subscriptions), as well as certain carry funds (see “Fee-earning AUM based on net asset value” in the table below for the amount of this component at each period);


(e)	the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), excluding cash and cash equivalents of our business development companies and certain carry funds (see “Fee-earning AUM based on lower of cost or fair value and other” in the table below for the amount of this component at each period); and


(f)	the lower of cost or fair value of invested capital, generally for AlpInvest carry funds where the commitment fee period has expired and certain carry funds where the investment period has expired, (see “Fee-earning AUM based on lower of cost or fair value and other” in the table below for the amount of this component at each period).

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 most of our carry funds, 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, depending on whether the original 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.

“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.

“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, performance fee-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 vehicles net of the portion allocated to Carlyle investment professionals (including related tax expense) which is reflected as performance fee related compensation expense.

Page | 38

“Performance fees” consist principally of carried interest from carry funds and incentive fees or allocations from certain Global Market Strategies vehicles. Carlyle is generally entitled to a 20% allocation (or 10% to 20% on certain longer-dated carry funds as well as some external co-investment vehicles, or approximately 2% to 10% in the case of most of the Investment Solutions carry funds and vehicles) of the net realized income or gain as a carried interest after returning the invested capital, the allocation of preferred returns of generally 7% to 9% (or 4% to 7% for certain longer-dated carry funds) 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 vehicles net of the portion allocated to Carlyle investment professionals which is reflected as realized performance fee related compensation expense, and any performance fee-related tax obligations.

“VIE” refers to a variable interest entity, as that term is defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation.
