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 months ended March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2022 are included in pages A-2 to A-7.

1. Assets Under Management reflect end of period amounts from our consolidated Wealth Management business.

Advisory Fees - First quarter Advisory Fees decreased $162.0 million, or 26%, year-over-year, reflecting a decline in revenue earned from large transactions during the first quarter of 2023, as well as a decrease in the number of Advisory fees earned.

Underwriting Fees - First quarter Underwriting Fees decreased $13.4 million, or 37%, year-over-year, reflecting a decrease in average fee size of the transactions we participated in due to the decline in overall market issuances.

Commissions and Related Revenue - First quarter Commissions and Related Revenue decreased $2.8 million, or 6%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower trading revenues.

Asset Management and Administration Fees - First quarter Asset Management and Administration Fees decreased $1.2 million, or 7%, year-over-year, driven by a decrease in fees from Wealth Management clients, as associated AUM decreased 5%, primarily from market depreciation.

4

Other Revenue - First quarter Other Revenue, net, increased $28.7 million year-over-year, primarily reflecting a shift from losses of $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 to gains of $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 on our investment funds portfolio due to overall market appreciation, as well as higher returns on our fixed income investment portfolios, which primarily consist of U.S treasury bills. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program. The increase from 2022 was partially offset by a $1.3 million gain on the sale of a portion of our interests in ABS that occurred during the first quarter of 2022.

Employee Compensation and Benefits - First quarter Employee Compensation and Benefits decreased $62.9 million, or 15%, year-over-year, reflecting a compensation ratio of 64.1% for the first quarter of 2023 versus 59.4% for 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 base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. The Compensation Ratio was also impacted by lower revenues (with the exception of Other Revenue, as described above) in the current year period compared to the first quarter of 2022. See "Deferred Compensation" for more information.

Non-CompensationCosts - First quarter Non-Compensation Costs increased $11.7 million, or 14%, year- over-year, primarily driven by an increase in travel and related expenses and an increase in bad debt expense. The first quarter Non-Compensation ratio of 16.7% increased from 11.6% for the prior year period.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs - First quarter 2023 Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, relate to the write-offof non-recoverableassets in connection with the wind- down of the Company's operations in Mexico.

Effective Tax Rate

The first quarter effective tax rate was 14.9% versus 16.4% 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 first quarter provision for income taxes for 2023 reflects an additional tax benefit of $13.7 million versus $19.0 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.
