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.

"The fourth quarter was a record for Evercore in every respect and 2012 was another record year, our fourth consecutive year of significantly increased net revenues and earnings. Our success has been driven first and foremost by continued market share gains in our Investment Banking businesses, particularly our Advisory business" said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our record results, both for the quarter and the year, demonstrate the strength of our independent investment banking advisory model, and the receptivity of business leaders and Boards of Directors to our approach. Our Wealth Management business continued its strategy of organic and inorganic growth ending the year with $4.5 billion of AUM, while our Institutional Asset Management affiliates continued to improve investment performance. I am most proud of the fact that we achieved these results while continuing to make meaningful investments in our business. We recruited six Senior Managing Directors to our Advisory business and promoted three internally, and continued to invest in our Institutional Equities and Private Funds businesses. Notwithstanding these investments, we maintained our focus on our shareholders, returning $96.5 million through dividends and share repurchases, more than offsetting the effect of equity awards to employees, and we were able to improve our operating margins and keep the compensation ratio almost flat, despite these investments and higher cash payouts in bonuses this year."

"2012 ended the year on a strong note, both for Evercore and the M&A markets broadly. Evercore's Investment Banking Net Revenues and Operating Income each grew more than 30%, delivering a full year Operating Margin of 23%. We delivered these results in a year when announced transactions on a global basis were essentially flat and completed transactions were down 15%," said Roger Altman, Executive Chairman. "Once again, we advised on a disproportionate share of the largest transactions. More specifically, we advised on one of the three largest transactions in the United States in each of the oil and gas, consumer, banking, biotech, and publishing sectors, and the largest financial services transaction in Canada. Historically, Evercore has been very strong in the large cap multinational sector, and this is obviously continuing."

The U.S. GAAP and Adjusted Pro Forma results for December 31, 2011 present the continuing operations of the Company, which exclude amounts related to Evercore Asset Management ("EAM"), whose operations were discontinued during the fourth quarter of 2011. See page A-1 for the full financial results of the Company including its discontinued operations.

Throughout the discussion of Evercore's business segments, information is presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, which is an unaudited non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measure. Adjusted Pro Forma 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 vested and unvested Evercore LP Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma 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. For more information about the Adjusted Pro Forma basis of reporting used by management to evaluate the performance of Evercore and each line of business, including reconciliations of U.S. GAAP results to an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, see pages A-2 through A-11 included in Annex I. These Adjusted Pro Forma amounts are allocated to the Company's two business segments: Investment Banking and Investment Management.

Business Line Reporting

A discussion of Adjusted Pro Forma revenues and expenses from continuing operations is presented below for the Investment Banking and Investment Management segments.

Year-to-date compensation costs were $331.8 million, an increase of 33% from the prior year.

Non-compensation costs for the current quarter were $24.6 million, up 9% from the same period last year and 5% sequentially. The increase in costs reflects continued growth of the Investment Banking business.

Year-to-date non-compensation costs were $96.9 million, up 27% from the prior year.

Expenses in the Institutional Equities business were $9.2 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of 32% from the previous quarter, principally reflecting the addition of a team to cover the REIT sector.

Investment Management

For the fourth quarter, Investment Management reported net revenues and operating income of $20.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Investment Management reported a fourth quarter operating margin of 0.8%.

(1) Management fees from Institutional Asset Management were $11.2 million, $11.6 million and $13.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and $47.9 million and $65.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, on a U.S. GAAP basis, excluding the reduction of revenues for client-related expenses.

(2) Equity in G5, ABS and Pan on a U.S. GAAP basis are reclassified from Investment Management Revenue to Income from Equity Method Investments.

Investment Advisory and Management Fees of $18.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 declined compared to the same period a year ago, as higher fees in Wealth Management were offset by declines in Institutional Asset Management. Fees earned in the current quarter were flat in comparison to the previous quarter.

Realized and Unrealized Gains of $0.8 million in the quarter increased relative to the prior year but decreased relative to the previous quarter; the change relative to the prior periods was driven principally by valuation adjustments in Private Equity.

Equity in Earnings of Affiliates of $0.5 million in the quarter increased relative to the prior year, reflecting an increased contribution from ABS Investment Management, and was down from the prior quarter.

Expenses

Investment Management's fourth quarter expenses were $20.2 million, down 1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 and up 6% compared to previous quarter. Included in the quarter were $0.7 million of acquisition costs. Year-to-date Investment Management expenses were $78.4 million, down 12% from a year ago. The decrease from the prior year results primarily reflects lower compensation costs driven by the decline in revenues and profitability.

Other U.S. GAAP Expenses

Evercore's Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012 was higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the exclusion of expenses associated with the vesting of IPO equity awards and awards granted in conjunction with the Lexicon acquisition and certain business acquisition-related costs, including Special Charges. In addition, for Adjusted Pro Forma purposes, client related expenses and expenses associated with revenue-sharing engagements with third parties have been presented as a reduction from Revenues and Non-compensation costs. Further details of these expenses, as well as an explanation of similar expenses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and the three months ended September 30, 2012, are included in Annex I, pages A-2 to A-11.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling Interests in certain subsidiaries are owned by the principals and strategic investors in these businesses. Evercore's equity ownership percentages in these businesses range from 51% to 86%. For the periods ended December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012, and December 30, 2011 the gain (loss) allocated to non-controlling interests was as follows:

				Net Gain (Loss) Allocated to Noncontrolling Interests

(1) The difference between Adjusted Pro Forma and U.S. GAAP Noncontrolling Interests relates primarily to intangible amortization expense for certain acquisitions which we excluded from the Adjusted Pro Forma results.

Income Taxes

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, Evercore's Adjusted Pro Forma effective tax rate was 38%, compared to 32% and 39%, respectively, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, Evercore's U.S. GAAP effective tax rate was approximately 43% and 44%, respectively, compared to (143%) and 62%, respectively, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011. The effective tax rate for U.S. GAAP purposes reflects significant adjustments relating to the tax treatment of certain compensation transactions, changes in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of non-U.S. subsidiaries as well as the non-controlling interest associated with Evercore LP Units. The effective tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, was lower than the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to a higher level of expected foreign sourced income and the release of certain tax provisions in 2012.

Balance Sheet

The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, holding cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $296.0 million at December 31, 2012. Current assets exceed current liabilities by $208.4 million at December 31, 2012. Amounts due related to the Long-Term Notes Payable were $101.4 million at December 31, 2012.

During the quarter the Company repurchased approximately 57,000 shares at an average cost of $27.51 per share.

Dividend

On January 29, 2013, the Board of Directors of Evercore declared a quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share to be paid on March 8, 2013 to common stockholders of record on February 22, 2013.

Adjusted Pro Forma Results

Throughout the discussion of Evercore's business segments, information is presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measure. Adjusted Pro Forma 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 vested and unvested Evercore LP Units, other IPO related restricted stock unit awards, as well as Acquisition Related Share Issuances and Unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to Lexicon employees, into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma 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 Pro Forma amounts are allocated to the Company's two business segments: Investment Banking and Investment Management. The differences between Adjusted Pro Forma and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:

1. Assumed Vesting of Evercore LP Units and Exchange into Class A Shares. The Company incurred expenses, primarily, in Employee Compensation and Benefits, resulting from the modification of Evercore LP Units, which will vest generally over a five-year period. The Adjusted Pro Forma results assume these LP Units have vested and have been exchanged for Class A shares. Accordingly, any expense associated with these units and related awards is excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results and the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. The Company's Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed conversion of this previously granted but unvested equity, and thus the Adjusted Pro Forma results reflect the vesting of all unvested Evercore LP partnership units and IPO related restricted stock unit awards.

2. Vesting of Contingently Vested Equity Awards. The Company incurred expenses in Employee Compensation and Benefits, resulting from the vesting of awards issued at the time of the IPO. These awards vest upon the occurrence of specified vesting events rather than merely the passage of time and continued service. In periods prior to the completion of the June 2011 offering, we concluded that it was not probable that the vesting conditions would be achieved. Accordingly, we had not been accruing compensation expense relating to these unvested stock-based awards. The completion of the June 2011 offering resulted in Messrs. Altman, Beutner and Aspe, and trusts benefiting their families and permitted transferees, collectively, ceasing to beneficially own at least 50% of the aggregate Evercore LP partnership units owned by them on the date of the internal reorganization, resulting in the vesting of these awards. The related expense has been excluded from the Adjusted Pro Forma results.

3. Expenses Associated with Business Combinations. The following expenses resulting from business combinations have been excluded from Adjusted Pro Forma results because the Company's Management believes that operating performance is more comparable across periods excluding the effects of these acquisition-related charges;

a. Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets related to the Protego acquisition, the Braveheart acquisition and the acquisitions of SFS and Lexicon.

b. Compensation Charges. Expenses for deferred share-based and cash consideration and retention awards associated with the acquisition of Lexicon, as well as base salary adjustments for Lexicon employees for the period preceding the acquisition.

c. Special Charges. Expenses primarily related to exiting the legacy office space in the UK and expenses related to the charge associated with lease commitments for exited office space in conjunction with the acquisition of Lexicon as well as for an introducing fee and other professional fees incurred in connection with the Lexicon acquisition.

A-2

4. Client Related Expenses. Client related expenses, expenses associated with revenue sharing engagements with third parties and provisions for uncollected receivables, have been classified as a reduction of revenue in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation. The Company's Management believes that this adjustment results in more meaningful key operating ratios, such as compensation to net revenues and operating margin.

5. Income Taxes. Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, a C-Corporation and a Public Corporation and therefore, not all of the Company's income is subject to corporate-level taxes. As a result, adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma earnings to assume that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C-Corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates, that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within the structure on a consolidated basis and that adjustments for deferred tax assets related to the ultimate tax deductions for equity-based compensation awards are made directly to stockholders' equity. This assumption is consistent with the assumption that all Evercore LP Units are vested and exchanged into Class A shares, as discussed in Item 1 above, as the assumed exchange would change the tax structure of the Company.

6. Presentation of Interest Expense. The Adjusted Pro Forma results present interest expense on short-term repurchase agreements, within the Investment Management segment, in Other Revenues, net, as the Company's Management believes it is more meaningful to present the spread on net interest resulting from the matched financial assets and liabilities. In addition, Adjusted Pro Forma Investment Banking and Investment Management Operating Income is presented before interest expense on long-term debt, which is included in interest expense on a U.S. GAAP basis.

7. Presentation of Income from Equity Method Investments. The Adjusted Pro Forma results present Income from Equity Method Investments within Revenue as the Company's Management believes it is a more meaningful presentation.

(8a)			The exclusion from the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation of expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Protego, Braveheart, SFS and Lexicon acquisitions.
(9)			Evercore is organized as a series of Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, a C-Corporation and a Public Corporation and therefore, not all of the Company's income is subject to corporate level taxes. As a result, adjustments have been made to decrease Evercore's effective tax rate to approximately 38% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. These adjustments assume that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C-Corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates, that all deferred tax assets relating to foreign operations are fully realizable within the structure on a consolidated basis and that, historically, adjustments for deferred tax assets related to the ultimate tax deductions for equity-based compensation awards are made directly to stockholders' equity.
(10)			Reflects adjustment to eliminate noncontrolling interest related to all Evercore LP partnership units which are assumed to be converted to Class A common stock in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation.
(11a)			Assumes the vesting of all Evercore LP partnership units and IPO related restricted stock unit awards in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP net income per share, the unvested Evercore LP partnership units are anti-dilutive and the IPO related restricted stock unit awards are excluded from the calculation prior to the June 2011 offering.
(11b)			Assumes the vesting of all Acquisition Related Share Issuance and Unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to Lexicon employees in the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation. In the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for U.S. GAAP, these Shares and Restricted Stock Units are reflected using the Treasury Stock Method.
