LEADERSHIP COMMENTARY

John S. Weinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "We are encouraged by some of the positive leading indicators we see both internally and in the market. And while the normalization of market activity will continue to take time, we remain focused on serving our clients and building for the long term."

Roger C. Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman, "Evercore just completed the largest, external hiring surge, at the SMD level, in the Firm's history. And, this came on top of aggressive hiring in each recent year, which means that our productive capacity is at an all-time high."

Evercore's quarterly results may fluctuate significantly due to the timing and amount of transaction fees earned, as well as other factors. Accordingly, financial results in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results over a longer period of time.

Business Segments:

Evercore's business results are categorized into two segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. Investment Banking & Equities includes providing advice to clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic corporate transactions, as well as services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Investment Management includes Wealth Management and interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company, as well as advising third-party investors through affiliates. See pages A-2 to A-7 for further information and reconciliations of these segment results to our U.S. GAAP consolidated results.

Non-GAAP Measures:

Throughout this release certain information is presented on an adjusted basis, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), and then those results are adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of certain Evercore LP Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed adjusted measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore's results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore's operating results. Evercore uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, have been excluded from Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. These charges in 2023 relate to the write-off of non-recoverable assets in connection with the wind-down of the Company's operations in Mexico.

Evercore's Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the inclusion of certain Evercore LP Units and Unvested Restricted Stock Units.

Further details of these adjustments, as well as an explanation of similar amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are included in pages A-2 to A-7.

Underwriting Fees – Third quarter Underwriting Fees increased $2.1 million, or 7%, year-over-year. Year-to-date Underwriting Fees increased $13.4 million, or 17%, year-over-year, reflecting an increase in the number of transactions we participated in due to the increase in equity issuance activity.

Commissions and Related Revenue – Third quarter Commissions and Related Revenue decreased $0.5 million, or 1%, year-over-year, and year-to-date Commissions and Related Revenue decreased $5.8 million, or 4%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower trading revenues.

Asset Management and Administration Fees – Third quarter Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $1.7 million, or 11%, year-over-year, driven by an increase in fees from Wealth Management clients, as associated AUM increased 13%, primarily from market appreciation. Year-to-date Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $1.1 million, or 2%, year-over-year, driven by an increase in fees from Wealth Management clients, as associated AUM increased 13%, primarily from market appreciation.

Employee Compensation and Benefits – Third quarter Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $35.9 million, or 10%, year-over-year, reflecting a compensation ratio of 68.7% for the third quarter of 2023 versus 61.7% for the prior year period. The Compensation Ratio was impacted by lower net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. The increase in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, as well as higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards and higher base salaries. Year-to-date Employee Compensation and Benefits decreased $77.5 million, or 7%, year-over-year, reflecting a year-to-date compensation ratio of 66.8% versus 60.8% for the prior year period. The Compensation Ratio was impacted by lower net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. The decrease in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a lower accrual for incentive compensation, partially offset by higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards and higher base salaries. See "Deferred Compensation" for more information.

Non-Compensation Costs – Third quarter Non-Compensation Costs increased $10.9 million, or 12%, year-over-year, primarily related to the reversal of expense in the third quarter of 2022 associated with the decline in fair value of contingent consideration owed to former equity interest holders in our RECA business. The increase was also attributed to an increase in communications and information services, primarily reflecting higher research expenses and license fees in the third quarter of 2023. The third quarter Non-Compensation ratio of 17.8% increased from 15.7% for the prior year period. Year-to-date Non-Compensation Costs increased $30.7 million, or 11%, year-over-year, primarily related to increases in travel and related expenses, as well as communications and information services, primarily reflecting higher license fees and research expenses in 2023. The increase was also attributed to the reversal of expense in 2022 associated with the decline in fair value of contingent consideration owed to former equity interest holders in our RECA business. The year-to-date Non-Compensation ratio of 18.3% increased from 14.0% for the prior year period. The Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by lower net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs – Year-to-date 2023 Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, relate to the write-off of non-recoverable assets in connection with the wind-down of the Company's operations in Mexico.

Year-to-date 2022 Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, relate to charges associated with the prepayment of the Company's $67 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.23% Series B senior notes, originally due March 30, 2023 (the "Series B Notes"), during the second quarter, as well as certain professional fees related to the wind-down of the Company's operations in Mexico.

Effective Tax Rate

The third quarter effective tax rate was 25.1% versus 30.8% for the prior year period. The year-to-date effective tax rate was 21.5% versus 23.2% for the prior year period. The effective tax rate is principally impacted by the deduction associated with the appreciation in the Firm's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price. The year-to-date provision for income taxes for 2023 reflects an additional tax benefit of $14.1 million versus $19.7 million for the prior year period, due to the net impact associated with the appreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price.

Adjusted Results

Throughout the discussion of Evercore's business and elsewhere in this release, information is presented on an Adjusted basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measure. Adjusted results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of certain Evercore LP Units, as well as Unvested Restricted Stock Units, into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore's results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore's operating results. The Company uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These Adjusted amounts are allocated to the Company's two business segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. The differences between the Adjusted and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:

Assumed Exchange of Evercore LP Units into Class A Shares. The Adjusted results assume substantially all Evercore LP Units have been exchanged for Class A shares. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to a controlling interest. The Company's management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed conversion of substantially all of these previously granted equity interests and IPO related restricted stock units, and thus the Adjusted results reflect their exchange into Class A shares.
Adjustments Associated with Business Combinations and Divestitures. The following charges resulting from business combinations and divestitures have been excluded from the Adjusted results because the Company's Management believes that operating performance is more comparable across periods excluding the effects of these acquisition-related charges:
1. Gain on Sale of Interests in ABS. The gain on the sale of a portion of the Company's interests in ABS in the first quarter of 2022 is excluded from the Adjusted presentation.
Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs. Expenses during 2023 that are excluded from the Adjusted presentation relate to the write-off of non-recoverable assets in connection with the wind-down of the Company's operations in Mexico. Expenses during 2022 that are excluded from the Adjusted presentation relate to charges associated with the prepayment of the Company's Series B Notes during the second quarter, as well as certain professional fees related to the wind-down of the Company's operations in Mexico.
Income Taxes. Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, C-Corporations and a Public Corporation in the U.S. as the ultimate parent. Certain of the subsidiaries, particularly Evercore LP, have noncontrolling interests held by management or former members of management. As a result, not all of the Company's income is subject to corporate level taxes and certain other state and local taxes are levied. The assumption in the Adjusted earnings presentation is that substantially all of the noncontrolling interest is eliminated through the exchange of Evercore LP units into Class A common stock of the ultimate parent. As a result, the Adjusted earnings presentation assumes that the allocation of earnings to Evercore LP's noncontrolling interest holders is substantially eliminated and is therefore subject to statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional tax structure in the U.S. and that certain state and local taxes are reduced accordingly.
Presentation of Interest Expense. The Adjusted results present Adjusted Investment Banking & Equities Operating Income before interest expense on debt, which is included in interest expense on a U.S. GAAP basis.
Presentation of Income from Equity Method Investments. The Adjusted results present Income from Equity Method Investments within Revenue as the Company's Management believes it is a useful presentation.

Expenses during 2022 that are excluded from the Adjusted presentation relate to charges associated with the prepayment of the Company's Series B Notes during the second quarter, as well as certain professional fees related to the wind-down of the Company's operations in Mexico.
(5)		Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, C-Corporations and a Public Corporation in the U.S. as the ultimate parent. Certain of the subsidiaries, particularly Evercore LP, have noncontrolling interests held by management or former members of management. As a result, not all of the Company's income is subject to corporate level taxes and certain other state and local taxes are levied. The assumption in the Adjusted earnings presentation is that substantially all of the noncontrolling interest is eliminated through the exchange of Evercore LP units into Class A common stock of the ultimate parent. As a result, the Adjusted earnings presentation assumes that the allocation of earnings to Evercore LP's noncontrolling interest holders is substantially eliminated and is therefore subject to statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional tax structure in the U.S. and that certain state and local taxes are reduced accordingly.
(6)		Reflects an adjustment to eliminate noncontrolling interest related to substantially all Evercore LP partnership units which are assumed to be converted to Class A common stock in the Adjusted presentation.
(7)		Assumes the exchange into Class A shares of substantially all Evercore LP Units and IPO related restricted stock unit awards in the Adjusted presentation. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP net income per share, the Evercore LP Units are anti-dilutive.
