INVESTMENT RECORDS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 - NOTES
The returns presented herein represent those of the applicable Blackstone Funds and not those of The Blackstone Group Inc.
n/m | Not meaningful generally due to the limited time since initial investment. |
n/a | Not applicable. |
- Excludes investment vehicles where Blackstone does not earn fees.
- Available Capital represents total investable capital commitments, including side-by-side, adjusted for certain expenses and expired or recallable capital and may include leverage, less invested capital. This amount is not reduced by outstanding commitments to investments.
- Multiple of Invested Capital ("MOIC") represents carrying value, before management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues, divided by invested capital.
- Unless otherwise indicated, Net Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") represents the annualized inception to September 30, 2020 IRR on total invested capital based on realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues. IRRs are calculated using actual timing of limited partner cash flows. Initial inception date of cash flows may differ from the Investment Period Beginning Date.
- The 8% Realized Net IRR and 8% Total Net IRR exclude investors that opted out of the Hilton investment opportunity. Overall BREP International II performance reflects a 7% Realized Net IRR and a 7% Total Net IRR.
- BREP Co-Investment represents co-investment capital raised for various BREP investments. The Net IRR reflected is calculated by aggregating each co-investment's realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues.
- BPP represents the Core+ real estate funds which invest with a more modest risk profile and lower leverage. Committed Capital and Available Capital are not regularly reported to investors in our Core+ strategy and are not applicable in the context of these funds.
- Unrealized Investment Value reflects BREIT's net asset value as of September 30, 2020. Realized Investment Value represents BREIT's cash distributions, net of servicing fees. The BREIT net return reflects a per share blended return, assuming BREIT had a single share class, reinvestment of all dividends received during the period, and no upfront selling commission, net of all fees and expenses incurred by BREIT. These returns are not representative of the returns experienced by any particular investor or share class. Inception to date net returns are presented on an annualized basis and are from January 1, 2017. Committed Capital and Available Capital are not regularly reported to investors in our Core+ strategy and are not applicable in the context of this vehicle.
- BREDS High-Yield represents the flagship real estate debt drawdown funds only and excludes BREDS High-Grade.
- Blackstone Core Equity Partners is a core private equity fund which invests with a more modest risk profile and longer hold period than traditional private equity.
- Realizations are treated as return of capital until fully recovered and therefore unrealized and realized MOICs are not meaningful. If information is not available on a timely basis, returns are calculated from results that are reported on a three month lag and therefore do not include the impact of economic and market activities in the quarter in which such events occur.
- Funds presented represent the flagship credit drawdown funds only. The Total Credit Net IRR is the combined IRR of the credit drawdown funds presented.
- Unrealized Investment Value reflects BGSL's net asset value as of September 30, 2020. Realized Investment Value represents BGSL's cash distributions. BGSL's net return is annualized and calculated since inception starting on November 20, 2018, as the change in NAV per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company's dividend reinvestment plan) divided by the beginning NAV per share.

- This adjustment removes Transaction-Related Charges, which are excluded from Blackstone's segment presentation. Transaction-Related Charges arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, and Blackstone's initial public offering. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs and any gains or losses associated with these corporate actions.
- This adjustment removes the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, which are excluded from Blackstone's segment presentation. This amount includes amortization of intangibles associated with Blackstone's investment in Pátria, which is accounted for under the equity method.
- This adjustment reverses the effect of consolidating Blackstone Funds, which are excluded from Blackstone's segment presentation.

NOTES
Notes to page 1 - Blackstone's Third Quarter 2020 GAAP Results
-
Effective July 1, 2019, The Blackstone Group L.P. converted from a Delaware limited partnership to a Delaware corporation, The Blackstone
Group Inc. (the "Conversion"). This presentation includes results for The Blackstone Group L.P. prior to the Conversion. As of any time prior to the Conversion, references to "Blackstone," "the Company," "our" and similar terms mean The Blackstone Group L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries and, as of any time after the Conversion, The Blackstone Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. - All references to shares or per share amounts prior to the Conversion refer to units or per unit amounts. Unless otherwise noted, references to
"common stock" and "common shares" refer to Class A common stock. - Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes Margin is calculated by dividing Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes by Total Revenues.
Notes to page 2 - Blackstone's Third Quarter 2020 Highlights
- The changes in carrying value, fund returns and composite returns presented throughout this presentation represent those of the applicable Blackstone Funds and not those of Blackstone.
- See Notes to page 18 regarding Net Accrued Performance Revenue redefinition.
Notes to page 5 - Investment Performance and Net Accrued Performance Revenues
- Effective 1Q'20, the Credit segment was renamed Credit & Insurance; however, there was no change to the composition of the segment or historical results.
- Effective 1Q'20, Core+ appreciation was updated to include BREIT and represents a weighted average of BREIT's per share appreciation and BPP appreciation for the period. The returns are weighted based on the average of BREIT's monthly net asset values and the average of BPP's quarterly adjusted beginning period market values for the period. This presentation provides a more holistic view of Core+ by including BREIT performance.
- Effective 1Q'20, Corporate Private Equity appreciation was updated to include Core Private Equity appreciation. This presentation provides a more holistic view of Corporate Private Equity by including Core Private Equity performance.
- Results for the Secondaries business (also referred to as Strategic Partners) are reported on a three month lag from the Secondaries' fund financial statements, which generally report based on a three month lag from the underlying fund investments unless information is available on a more timely basis. As a result, the appreciation presented herein does not include the impact of economic and market activity in the current quarter. Current market activity is expected to affect reported results in upcoming quarters.
- The BPS Composite gross and net returns are based on the BAAM Principal Solutions ("BPS") Composite, which does not include BAAM's individual investor solutions (liquid alternatives), strategic capital (seeding and minority interests), strategic opportunities (co-invests), and advisory (non- discretionary) platforms, except for investments by BPS funds directly into those platforms. BAAM-managed funds in liquidation and non fee- paying assets (net returns only) are also excluded. The funds/accounts that comprise the BPS Composite are not managed within a single fund or account and are managed with different mandates. There is no guarantee that BAAM would have made the same mix of investments in a stand- alone fund/account. The BPS Composite is not an investible product and, as such, the performance of the BPS Composite does not represent the performance of an actual fund or account.

NOTES - (CONT'D)
Notes to page 5 - Investment Performance and Net Accrued Performance Revenues (Cont'd)
- Effective 1Q'20, Credit returns are presented as a composite return instead of separate returns for performing credit and distressed. The Credit Composite now also includes the long only strategy. The Credit Composite return is a weighted average of (a) the return based on the combined quarterly cash flows of performing credit and distressed fee-earning funds and (b) the weighted average quarterly return of all long only strategy fee-earning funds. Only fee-earning funds exceeding $100 million of fair value at the beginning of each respective quarter-end are included and funds in liquidation are excluded. Credit returns exclude Blackstone Funds that were contributed to GSO as part of Blackstone's acquisition of GSO in March 2008.
Notes to page 18 - Net Accrued Performance Revenues - Additional Detail
- Effective 1Q'20, NAPR has been redefined to exclude Performance Revenues realized but not yet distributed as of the reporting date. This update aligns the presentation of DE and NAPR. All prior periods have been recast to reflect this definition.
- Per Share calculations are based on end of period DE Shares Outstanding (see page 23, Share Summary).
Notes to page 22 - Shareholder Dividends
- DE before Certain Payables represents Distributable Earnings before the deduction for the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and tax expense (benefit) of wholly owned subsidiaries.
- Per Share calculations are based on end of period Participating Common Shares (page 23, Share Summary); actual dividends are paid to shareholders as of the applicable record date.
- Retained capital is withheld pro rata from common and Blackstone Holdings Partnership unitholders. Common shareholders' share was $63 million for 3Q'20 and $153 million for 3Q'20 YTD.
- Common Shareholders receive tax benefits from deductions taken by Blackstone's corporate tax paying subsidiaries and bear responsibility for the deduction from Distributable Earnings of the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and certain other tax-related payables.
Notes to page 23 - Share Summary
- Participating Common Shares and Participating Partnership Units include both issued and outstanding shares and unvested shares that participate in dividends.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY
Blackstone discloses the following operating metrics and 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 ("non-GAAP") in this presentation:
- Segment Distributable Earnings, or "Segment DE", is Blackstone's segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and assess performance across Blackstone's four segments. Segment DE represents the net realized earnings of Blackstone's segments and is the sum of Fee Related Earnings and Net Realizations for each segment. Blackstone's segments are presented on a basis that deconsolidates Blackstone Funds, eliminates non-controlling ownership interests in Blackstone's consolidated operating partnerships, removes the amortization of intangible assets and removes Transaction-Related Charges. Segment DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.
- Net Realizationsis presented on a segment basis and is the sum of Realized Principal Investment Income and Realized Performance Revenues (which refers to Realized Performance Revenues excluding Fee Related Performance Revenues), less Realized Performance Compensation (which refers to Realized Performance Compensation excluding Fee Related Performance Compensation and Equity-Based Performance Compensation).
- Total Segment Revenuesand Segment Revenuesrepresent Net Management and Advisory Fees, Fee Related Performance Revenues, Realized Performance Revenues and Realized Principal Investment Income.
- Distributable Earnings, or "DE", is derived from Blackstone's segment reported results. DE is used to assess performance and amounts available for dividends to Blackstone shareholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the Blackstone Holdings Partnerships. DE is the sum of Segment DE plus Net Interest Income (Loss) less Taxes and Related Payables. DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.
- Net Interest Income (Loss)is presented on a segment basis and is equal to Interest and Dividend Revenue less Interest Expense, adjusted for the impact of consolidation of Blackstone Funds, and interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.
- Taxes and Related Payablesrepresent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and including the Payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Further, the current tax provision utilized when calculating Taxes and Related Payables and DE reflects the benefit of deductions available to the company on certain expense items that are excluded from the underlying calculation of Segment DE and Total Segment Distributable Earnings, such as equity- based compensation charges and certain Transaction-Related Charges where there is a current tax provision or benefit. The economic assumptions and methodologies that impact the implied income tax provision are the same as those methodologies and assumptions used in calculating the current income tax provision for Blackstone's consolidated statements of operations under U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of divestitures and accrued tax contingencies and refunds which are reflected when paid or received. Management believes that including the amount payable under the tax receivable agreement and utilizing the current income tax provision adjusted as described above when calculating DE is meaningful as it increases comparability between periods and more accurately reflects earnings that are available for distribution to shareholders.
- Fee Related Earnings, or "FRE", is a performance measure used to assess Blackstone's ability to generate profits from revenues that are measured and received on a recurring basis and not subject to future realization events. FRE equals management and advisory fees (net of management fee reductions and offsets) plus Fee Related Performance Revenues, less (a) Fee Related Compensation on a segment basis, and
(b) Other Operating Expenses. FRE is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.
Blackstone | 34
DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY - (CONT'D)
- Fee Related Compensationis presented on a segment basis and refers to the compensation expense, excluding Equity-Based Compensation, directly related to (a) Management and Advisory Fees, Net and (b) Fee Related Performance Revenues, referred to as Fee Related Performance Compensation.
- Fee Related Performance Revenuesrefers to the realized portion of Performance Revenues from Perpetual Capital that are (a) measured and received on a recurring basis, and (b) not dependent on realization events from the underlying investments.
- Other Operating Expensesis presented on a segment basis and is equal to General, Administrative and Other Expenses, adjusted to (a) remove the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, (b) remove certain expenses reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds which are netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in Blackstone's segment presentation, and (c) add an administrative fee collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units. The administrative fee is accounted for as a capital contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in Blackstone's segment presentation.
- Perpetual Capitalrefers to the component of assets under management with an indefinite term, that is not in liquidation, and for which there is no requirement to return capital to investors through redemption requests in the ordinary course of business, except where funded by new capital inflows. Includes co-investment capital with an investor right to convert into Perpetual Capital.
- Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or "Adjusted EBITDA", is a supplemental measure used to assess performance derived from Blackstone's segment results and may be used to assess its ability to service its borrowings. Adjusted EBITDA represents Distributable Earnings plus the addition of (a) Interest Expense on a segment basis, (b) Taxes and Related Payables, and
(c) Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes. - Performance Revenuescollectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fees, and (b) Performance Allocations.
- Performance Compensationcollectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fee Compensation, and (b) Performance Allocations Compensation.
- Transaction-RelatedChargesarise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, and Blackstone's initial public offering. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs and any gains or losses associated with these corporate actions.
Dividend Policy. Blackstone's intention is to pay to holders of Class A common stock a quarterly dividend representing approximately 85% of The
Blackstone Group Inc.'s share of Distributable Earnings, subject to adjustment by amounts determined by Blackstone's board of directors to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and funds, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt instruments or other agreements, or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and dividends to shareholders for any ensuing quarter. The dividend amount could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. All of the foregoing is subject to the qualification that the declaration and payment of any dividends are at the sole discretion of Blackstone's board of directors and our board of directors may change our dividend policy at any time, including, without limitation, to eliminate such dividends entirely.
