The Carlyle Group Announces Second Quarter 2012 Earnings Results

•

Strong pace of realizations continues with $3.0 billion in realized proceeds generated for fund investors in 2Q 2012

•

Distributable Earnings of $115 million, up 29% year over year

•

$0.32 per common unit in pro forma Distributable Earnings in 2Q 2012

•

Declare first quarterly distribution of $0.11 per unit to common unit holders

•

$3.9 billion in funds raised in 2Q and $6.0 billion raised year to date

•

$1.4 billion in equity invested in 2Q with new deal acceleration in July

•

U.S. GAAP net loss attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. of ($10) million, or a loss of ($0.26) per common unit; ($14.0) million net loss on a pro forma basis, or a loss of ($0.39) per common unit

Washington, DC – Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group L.P. (NASDAQ: CG), today reported its unaudited second quarter 2012 results.

David M. Rubenstein, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Carlyle, said, “Our firm, portfolio and funds are in very good shape, despite a quarter marked by significant volatility in global equity markets and continued uncertainty in Europe. Distributable earnings, the metric that we believe best represents the results of our long term approach to value creation, was $785 million over the last twelve months, a 39% increase over the prior LTM period of $567 million. The nearly $4 billion in new capital we raised this quarter reflects the expected pick-up in fundraising as our sixth U.S. buyout fund began to close on new commitments.”

William E. Conway, Jr., Co-Chief Executive Officer of Carlyle, said, “We deployed $1.4 billion across our portfolio in the second quarter, and since the beginning of July we have agreed to invest a

Page | 1

minimum of $1.6 billion in new transactions that are expected to close in coming quarters. We have made some of our best investments during uncertain times, and our recent investments reflect the choice opportunities we see today as well as our long-term investment horizon. Additionally, we realized $3 billion in proceeds from 32 carry funds for our fund investors, a strong pace that reflects our diverse global platform.”

U.S. GAAP results for the second quarter 2012 included income before provision for income taxes of $186 million and a net loss attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. of ($10) million, or a loss of ($0.26) per common unit. For the second quarter 2011, Carlyle was still a private partnership, and income before provision for income taxes was $317 million and net income attributable to Carlyle Holdings was $372 million. Total revenue was $248 million, compared with $756 million in the second quarter 2011. Pro forma net loss per common unit was ($0.39) for the second quarter 2012. Total balance sheet assets were $29.6 billion as of June 30, 2012 compared with $24.7 billion as of December 31, 2011.

Second Quarter Distribution

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.11 to common unit holders of record at the close of business on August 20, 2012, payable on August 31, 2012. The $0.11 per common unit distribution is a prorated amount based on the pricing of The Carlyle Group L.P.’s initial public offering, which occurred on May 2, 2012.

Carlyle intends to distribute $0.16 per quarter to common unit holders in each of the first three quarters of the calendar year, with a catch-up distribution announced with its fourth quarter earnings release. As noted in Carlyle’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, Carlyle intends to make the year-end catch up distribution in an amount that, taken together with the other quarterly distributions, represents substantially all of its 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 total Distributable Earnings for that year. The declaration and payment of any distribution is at the sole discretion of the General Partner, which may change the distribution policy at any time.

The Carlyle Engine

Carlyle evaluates the performance of its business on four key metrics, known as the Carlyle engine (capital raised, equity invested, fund valuations and proceeds realized for fund investors). The table below highlights the results of those metrics for the second quarter, as well as on a year-to-date (YTD) and last twelve months (LTM) basis.

LOGO

During the second quarter of 2012, Carlyle generated net proceeds of $3.0 billion arising from 98 different investments across 32 carry funds in its portfolio. Carlyle deployed $1.4 billion of equity in 2Q 2012 in 82 new or follow on investments across 20 carry funds. In addition, thus far in the third quarter Carlyle has committed to invest, at a minimum, an incremental $1.6 billion in equity across six new pending transactions that should close in the coming months.

Carlyle All Segment Results for Second Quarter 2012

•

Distributable Earnings (DE): $115 million

•

On a pro-forma basis, pre-tax Distributable Earnings of $117 million and $0.32 per unit on a post-tax basis, compared to $189 million and $0.57 per unit, respectively, in 1Q 2012, taking into consideration changes related to the Initial Public Offering.

•

Fee-Related Earnings of $36 million increased 16% from $31 million in 2Q 2011 as fund management fees revenue increased while direct compensation increased at a slower pace.

•

Net Realized Performance Fees of $76 million increased 43% from $53 million in 2Q 2011, and were positively impacted by public equity exits in Kinder Morgan and Triumph Group. Some of the proceeds returned to fund investors during 2Q 2012 were in funds not currently realizing performance fees.

•

Realized Investment Income of $4 million was down from $6 million in 2Q 2011.

•

Economic Net Income/(Loss) (ENI): ($57) million

•

On a pro forma basis, Carlyle generated a pre-tax ENI loss of ($59) million, or a loss per unit of ($0.19) on a post-tax basis compared with ENI of $401 million, or $1.10 per unit in 1Q 2012, adjusting for the impact of our IPO.

•

Economic Net Income was negatively impacted by 2% depreciation in Carlyle’s carry fund portfolio, which excludes CLOs, hedge funds and Fund of Funds Solutions Vehicles, during 2Q 2012, with increases in Real Estate and Global Market Strategies funds, offset by decreases in Energy and Buyout funds.

•

Net performance fees of ($107) million were lower compared to $191 million in 2Q 2011. Year-to-date, net performance fee revenue of $228 million was 64% lower than the comparable 2011 period due to a net increase in our carry funds of 8% YTD 2012.

•

In general, the private portfolio was relatively flat while the public portfolio was down 10% in 2Q 2012.

•

As a result, Corporate Private Equity Funds and Energy Funds, which have a greater public company composition, experienced larger declines in valuation as compared to those funds with a greater percentage of investments in private companies.

(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. For our Global Market Strategies segment, CSP II was formed in 2007.

(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 and Fully Committed funds are past the expiration date of the investment/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 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, CEVP, CETP I, CAVP I, CAVP II, CAGP III and Mexico.

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

(11)	Aggregate includes the following funds: MENA, CSABF, CUSGF III, CETP II, CBPF, and CEOF I.

(12)	For purposes of aggregation, funds that report in foreign currency have been converted to U.S. dollars at the reporting period spot rate.

(13)	Aggregate includes the following funds: CRP I, CRP II, CAREP I, ENERGY I and Renew I.

(14)	Gross IRR and Net IRR for CRP VI are not meaningful as the investment period commenced in September 2010.

(15)	Aggregate includes the following funds: CAREP II and CRCP I.

(16)	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.

(17)	Includes private equity and mezzanine primary fund investments, secondary fund investments and co-investments originated by the AlpInvest team.

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

(19)	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.

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

The pro forma consolidated statement of operations data for the three months ended June 30, 2012 presents our consolidated results of operations giving pro forma effect to the Reorganization and Offering Transactions described in our final Prospectus dated May 2, 2012, as if such transactions had occurred on January 1, 2012. The pro forma adjustments applied to the statement of operations primarily relate to the following: (a) a change in the allocation of performance fees to our investment professionals from approximately 55% prior to the IPO to approximately 45% after the IPO; (b) the recognition of partner compensation as an expense in the pro-forma results, which was excluded from our actual results for periods prior to the IPO, when it was shown as distributions from equity; (c) pro forma stock-based compensation charges for awards issued in the IPO; (d) the reclassification of performance fees allocable to retired Carlyle partners to non-controlling interests; and (e) the reduction of interest expense associated with the pro forma repayment of debt with the IPO proceeds. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and upon assumptions our management believes are reasonable in order to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the impact of these transactions on the historical consolidated financial information of The Carlyle Group L.P. The unaudited pro forma financial information is included for informational purposes only and does not purport to reflect the results of operations of The Carlyle Group L.P. that would have occurred had the transactions described above occurred on the dates indicated or had we operated as a public company during the periods presented or for any future period or date.

(2)	Common units used in these calculations are as follows:

The weighted-average common units outstanding was calculated assuming the Reorganization and Offering Transactions described in our final Prospectus dated May 2, 2012 had occurred on January 1, 2012. The dilutive effect of unvested deferred restricted common units and contingently issuable Carlyle Holdings partnership units have been excluded during this period as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

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 future acquisitions, 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 combined and 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 is 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 exclusive of 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. 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.

Income before provision for income taxes is the GAAP financial measure most comparable to ENI, Fee Related Earnings and Distributable Earnings. 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 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 at par of Carlyle’s collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and the reference portfolio notional amount of Carlyle’s synthetic collateralized loan obligations (“synthetic CLOs”); and

(c) the net asset value (pre-redemptions and subscriptions) of Carlyle’s long/short credit, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic and other hedge funds and certain structured credit funds.

AUM includes certain energy and renewable resources funds that Carlyle jointly advises with Riverstone Investment Group L.L.C. (“Riverstone”). In addition, 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 fees.

“Available capital,” commonly known as “dry powder,” for Carlyle’s 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 asset funds and distressed debt and mezzanine funds (but excluding Carlyle’s structured credit funds, hedge funds 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.

“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, the amount of limited partner capital commitments and for fund of funds vehicles, the amount of external investor capital commitments during the commitment period;

(b) for substantially all carry funds and certain co-investment vehicles where the investment period has expired, the remaining amount of limited partner invested capital;

(c) the gross amount of aggregate collateral balance at par, adjusted for defaulted or discounted collateral, of Carlyle’s CLOs and the reference portfolio notional amount of Carlyle’s synthetic CLOs;

(d) the external investor portion of the net asset value (pre-redemptions and subscriptions) of Carlyle’s long/short credit, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic and other hedge funds and certain structured credit funds; and

(e) for fund of funds vehicles 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 funds that Carlyle jointly advises with Riverstone.

For Carlyle’s carry funds, co-investment vehicles 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” refer to those funds, accounts and vehicles advised by AlpInvest Partners B.V., formerly known as AlpInvest Partners N.V.

“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.

“Net realized 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.

“Performance fees” consist principally of carried interest from carry funds and 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 combined and 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.
