LEADERSHIP COMMENTARY
John S. Weinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "We saw broad-based strength across nearly every business this quarter, reflecting strong client engagement and the benefits of our long-term strategy. We continue to invest in our business and remain focused on creating long-term value for our shareholders."
Roger C. Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman, "We delivered record second quarter revenues, capping off the strongest first half in our history. These results underscore the greater breadth and competitive strength of our Firm."
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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 are included in pages A-2 to A-8.

Employee Compensation and Benefits – Second quarter Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $93.2 million, or 17%, year-over-year, reflecting a compensation ratio of 64.8% for the second quarter of 2026 versus 65.8% for the prior year period. The increase in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards, higher base salaries and a higher accrual for incentive compensation. Employee Compensation and Benefits for the second quarter of 2026 also includes $7.1 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 $537.4 million, or 53%, year-over-year, reflecting a year-to-date compensation ratio of 64.9% versus 66.0% for the prior year period.

Employee Compensation and Benefits for 2026 also includes $14.2 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 – Second quarter Non-Compensation Costs increased $45.7 million, or 34%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in travel and related expenses, professional fees, 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 and the increase in other operating expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for credit losses. The second quarter Non-Compensation ratio of 18.2% increased from 16.2% 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 $78.6 million, or 30%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in travel and related expenses, professional fees and technology and information services. The increase in travel and related expenses is largely due to higher levels of business activity, elevated travel pricing and increased headcount and the increase in technology and information services is principally reflecting higher expenses associated with license fees, consulting costs and research services. The year-to-date Non-Compensation ratio of 14.2% decreased from 16.9% 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 – Second quarter and year-to-date 2026 Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, reflects an estimated loss provision for non-U.S. employment taxes for 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 second quarter effective tax rate was 27.8% versus 29.3% for the prior year period. The decrease principally reflects an increase in 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 effective tax rate was 10.5% versus 1.0% for the prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in pre-tax income, as well as an increase in non-deductible expenses and state and local apportionment adjustments, partially offset 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.

See "Deferred Compensation" for more information.
Non-Compensation Costs – Second quarter adjusted Non-Compensation Costs increased $42.0 million, or 32%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in travel and related expenses, professional fees, 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 and the increase in other operating expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for credit losses.

Basis of Alternative Financial Statement Presentation

These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of our U.S. GAAP results to Adjusted results is presented in the tables included in the following pages.

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:

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Adjusted Financial Data
For further information on these adjustments, see page A-2.
(1)
Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investments has been reclassified to Revenue in the Adjusted presentation.
(2)
Interest Expense on Debt, Lines of Credit and Other Financing Arrangements is excluded from Net Revenues and presented below Operating Income in the Adjusted results and is included in Interest Expense on a U.S. GAAP basis. The Adjusted results also reflect the reduction of interest expense accrued for deferred acquisition consideration issued in the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
(3)
Expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Robey Warshaw are excluded from the Adjusted presentation.
(4)
Expenses during 2026 that are excluded from the Adjusted presentation reflect an estimated loss provision for non-U.S. employment taxes for prior periods.
(5)
Non-Compensation Costs on an Adjusted basis reflect the following adjustments:
(5a)
The exclusion from the Adjusted presentation of expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.
(5b)
The exclusion from the Adjusted presentation of costs incurred for the impairment of a lease in the first quarter of 2026 related to the acquisition of Robey Warshaw and professional fees incurred in the second quarter of 2025 related to transitioning acquisitions or divestitures.
(5c)
The exclusion from the Adjusted presentation of the expense, or reversal of expense, associated with the changes in fair value of contingent consideration issued to the sellers of Robey Warshaw.
(6)
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.
(7)
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.
(8)
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.
