Evercore Inc. (NYSE: EVR) today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

LEADERSHIP COMMENTARY

John S. Weinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "The third quarter was another strong quarter for Evercore, reflecting broad-based momentum across nearly every business. We remain committed to providing our clients with high-quality advice and service."

Roger C. Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman, "We delivered our sixth consecutive record revenue quarter. This reflects market share gains, the greater breadth of our platform and a continuously expanding global presence. Evercore has never been stronger than it is today."

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-8 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.

Evercore's Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was higher than U.S. GAAP principally as a result of the exclusion of the following expenses:

Evercore's Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were higher than U.S. GAAP primarily as a result of the inclusion of Evercore LP Units.

Further details of these adjustments, as well as an explanation of similar amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are included in pages A-2 to A-8.

Advisory Fees – Third quarter Advisory Fees increased $127.4 million, or 14%, year-over-year, and year-to-date Advisory Fees increased $892.6 million, or 42%, year-over-year, reflecting an increase in revenue earned from large transactions and an increase in the number of advisory fees earned during 2026.

Underwriting Fees – Third quarter Underwriting Fees increased $11.9 million, or 27%, year-over-year, reflecting an increase in the average fee size of the transactions we participated in during the third quarter of 2026. Year-to-date Underwriting Fees increased $77.5 million, or 60%, year-over-year, reflecting an increase in the number of transactions we participated in during 2026.

Commissions and Related Revenue – Third quarter Commissions and Related Revenue decreased $2.3 million, or 4%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower trading commissions driven by decreased trading volume during the third quarter of 2026. Year-to-date Commissions and Related Revenue increased $10.5 million, or 6%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting higher trading commissions during 2026.

Asset Management and Administration Fees – Third quarter Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $1.9 million, or 8%, year-over-year, driven by an increase in fees from Wealth Management clients, as associated AUM increased 5%, primarily from market appreciation. Year-to-date Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $6.5 million, or 10%, year-over-year, driven by an increase in fees from Wealth Management clients, as associated AUM increased 5%, primarily from market appreciation.

Other Revenue, net – Third quarter Other Revenue, net, decreased $9.1 million, or 35%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower performance of our investment funds portfolio, partially offset by higher interest income resulting from higher average balances in interest-bearing assets. Year-to-date Other Revenue, net, decreased $4.4 million, or 7%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting an increase in interest expense principally related to the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025 and deferred acquisition consideration issued in the acquisition of Robey Warshaw. The decrease was also driven by lower performance of our investment funds portfolio, partially offset by higher interest income resulting from higher average balances in interest-bearing assets. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program.

Employee Compensation and Benefits – Third quarter Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $68.5 million, or 10%, year-over-year, reflecting a Compensation Ratio of 64.1% for the third quarter of 2026 versus 65.5% for the prior year period. The increase in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects higher base salaries, higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards and higher compensation expense related to new hires. Employee Compensation and Benefits for the third quarter of 2026 also includes $7.0 million of costs related to awards granted in conjunction with the acquisition of Robey Warshaw. The Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. Year-to-date Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $605.9 million, or 36%, year-over-year, reflecting a year-to-date Compensation Ratio of 64.6% versus 65.8% for 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, higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. Employee Compensation and Benefits for 2026 also includes $21.2 million of costs related to awards granted in conjunction with the acquisition of Robey Warshaw. The Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. See "Deferred Compensation" for more information.

Non-Compensation Costs – Third quarter Non-Compensation Costs increased $32.9 million, or 23%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, other operating expenses and travel and related expenses. The increase in technology and information services is principally reflecting higher expenses associated with consulting costs, research services and license fees, the increase in other operating expenses is primarily attributable to expense in the third quarter of 2026 associated with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration issued to the sellers of Robey Warshaw, and the increase in travel and related expenses is largely due to higher levels of business activity, elevated travel pricing and increased headcount. The third quarter Non-Compensation Ratio of 15.0% increased from 13.7% compared to the prior year period. The Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. Year-to-date Non-Compensation Costs increased $111.6 million, or 28%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in travel and related expenses, technology and information services and other operating expenses. The increase in travel and related expenses is largely due to higher levels of business activity, elevated travel pricing and increased headcount, the increase in technology and information services is principally reflecting higher expenses associated with license fees, consulting costs and research services, and the increase in other operating expenses is primarily attributable to expense during 2026 associated with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration issued to the sellers of Robey Warshaw. The year-to-date Non-Compensation Ratio of 14.4% decreased from 15.6% compared to the prior year period. The Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs – Third quarter and year-to-date 2026 Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, reflect duplicate facilities costs associated with the planned relocation of the Company's U.K. headquarters. The third quarter and year-to-date 2026 costs also include an estimated loss provision for non-U.S. employment taxes, principally related to prior periods. The Company will continue to review its tax position relating to this matter and will adjust this estimate as appropriate in future periods.

Effective Tax Rate

The third quarter effective tax rate was 27.3% versus 27.5% for the prior year period. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower non-deductible expenses. The year-to-date effective tax rate was 16.1% versus 13.0% for the prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to higher pre-tax income, which reduced the relative impact of tax deductions arising from the appreciation of the Firm's share price above the original grant price upon vesting of employee share-based awards, as well as increased state and local tax expense resulting from changes in apportionment.

Selected Financial Data – Adjusted Results

Non-Compensation Costs – Third quarter adjusted Non-Compensation Costs increased $27.8 million, or 20%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services and travel and related expenses. The increase in technology and information services is principally reflecting higher expenses associated with consulting costs, research services and license fees, and the increase in travel and related expenses is largely due to higher levels of business activity, elevated travel pricing and increased headcount.

In addition, from time to time, the Company also grants cash and equity-based performance awards to certain employees, the settlement of which is dependent on the performance criteria being achieved.

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 and 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:
