LEADERSHIP COMMENTARY

John S. Weinberg, Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, "We continue to advise our clients on a wide array of transactions, reflecting the breadth, diversity and strength of our franchise. The ongoing robust environment for M&A activity and the continued success of many of our strategic growth initiatives aimed at expanding and enhancing our platform contributed to our second best revenue quarter ever. We ranked(1) #1 globally and in the U.S. among independents in the M&A league tables, strong momentum continues in our Capital Advisory businesses and our Underwriting business continues to perform well with greater sector diversity. And Evercore ISI was once again recognized by Institutional Investor as the top independent research firm. Looking ahead, our pipeline continues to be strong and we remain focused on addressing our clients’ objectives, growing our firm and returning capital to shareholders."

Ralph Schlosstein, Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, "Our strong quarterly results indicate that our long-term growth strategy is working. We continue to attract and hire exceptionally talented individuals in areas that offer significant growth opportunities, including three recent Advisory SMD hires that enhance our coverage of the Healthcare and FinTech sectors and our coverage of Financial Sponsors. We also have three additional individuals committed to join Evercore in 2021 who will further enhance key areas of strategic importance, including the Power and Renewables and Basic Materials sectors. In addition to executing on our growth and hiring initiatives, we continue to pass along our financial success to our shareholders. In the third quarter, we returned $135.2 million to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, bringing our year-to-date capital return to $631.5 million through a combination of dividends and buybacks. We are committed to returning excess cash flow to our shareholders through share repurchases."

Roger C. Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman, "The Firm has exceptional momentum, accentuated by a strong recruiting year which has, again, expanded our coverage and footprint."

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 and Investment Management. Investment Banking 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 and historically through Institutional Asset Management. See pages A-2 to A-10 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 vested and certain unvested 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, 2021 was higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of certain business acquisition-related and disposition-related charges and Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs. Acquisition-related charges for 2021 include professional fees incurred. Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, in 2021 relate to the write-down of certain assets associated with a legacy private equity investment relationship which, consistent with the Company's current investment strategy, the Company decided to wind down during the third quarter of 2021.

The gain on the redemption of the G5 debt security in the second quarter of 2021 was excluded from Adjusted Net Revenues.

Evercore's Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021were higher than U.S. GAAP, as a result of the inclusion of certain 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, 2020 are included in pages A-2 to A-10.

Selected Financial Data – U.S. GAAP Results

The following is a discussion of Evercore's consolidated results on a U.S. GAAP basis. See pages A-6 to A-8 for our business segment results.

Net Revenues

Advisory Fees – Third quarter Advisory Fees increased $437.7 million, or 162%, year-over-year, reflecting an increase in the number of fees earned and an increase in revenue earned from large transactions. Year-to-date Advisory Fees increased $815.4 million, or 84%, year-over-year, reflecting an increase in the number of fees earned and an increase in revenue earned from large transactions.

Underwriting Fees –Third quarter Underwriting Fees decreased $12.1 million, or 18%, year-over-year, reflecting a decrease in both the number of transactions we participated in and the relative fee size of those transactions. Year-to-date Underwriting Fees increased $0.5 million, reflecting an increase in the number of transactions we participated in, partially offset by a decrease in the relative fee size of our participation in those transactions, as we participated in several of the largest deals in our history last year.

Commissions and Related Revenue –Third quarter Commissions and Related Revenue increased $2.8 million, or 6%, year-over-year, reflecting increased trading volume compared to the prior year period. Year-to-date Commissions and Related Revenue decreased $2.9 million, or 2%, year-over-year, reflecting lower volatility compared to the prior year period.

Asset Management and Administration Fees –Third quarter Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $2.9 million, or 21%, year-over-year, driven by an increase in fees from Wealth Management clients as associated AUM increased 19%. Year-to-date Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $8.4 million, or 21%, year-over-year, driven by an increase in fees from Wealth Management clients as associated AUM increased 19%.

Other Revenue –Third quarter Other Revenue, net, decreased $10.2 million year-over-year, primarily driven by lower performance of our investment funds portfolio, which is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program. Year-to-date Other Revenue, net, increased $15.7 million year-over-year, primarily driven by higher performance of our investment funds portfolio, as well as a gain on the redemption of the G5 debt security in the second quarter of 2021.

Expenses

Employee Compensation and Benefits –Third quarter Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $226.7 million, or 87%, year-over-year. The third quarter compensation ratio was 59.1% versus 64.5% for the prior year period. Year-to-date Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $425.1 million, or 49%, year-over-year. The year-to-date compensation ratio was 59.3% versus 64.7% for the prior year period. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized in both the third quarter and year-to-date period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards, as well as increased headcount year over year. The decrease in the compensation ratios for both the third quarter and year-to-date period reflects leverage achieved on higher revenues in the current quarter and year-to-date period. See "Deferred Compensation" for more information.

Non-Compensation Costs –Third quarter Non-Compensation Costs increased $11.7 million, or 16%, year-over-year, primarily driven by increases in professional fees and travel and related expenses. The third quarter Non-Compensation ratio of 10.1% decreased from 17.8% for the prior year period. Year-to-date Non-Compensation Costs decreased $3.5 million, or 2%, year-over-year, primarily driven by a decrease in travel and related expenses, as well as a decrease in bad debt expense, partially offset by an increase in professional fees. The year-to-date Non-Compensation ratio of 10.5% decreased from 17.4% for the prior year period. The decrease in the Non-Compensation ratios for both the third quarter and year-to-date period principally reflects leverage achieved on higher revenues in the current quarter and year-to-date period.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs –Third quarter and year-to-date 2021 Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, relate to the write-down of certain assets associated with a legacy private equity investment relationship which, consistent with the Company's current investment strategy, the Company decided to wind down during the third quarter of 2021.

In 2020, the Company completed a review of operations focused on markets, sectors and people which delivered lower levels of productivity in an effort to attain greater flexibility of operations and better position itself for future growth. This review generated reductions of approximately 8% of our headcount.

In conjunction with the employment reductions, the Company incurred separation and transition benefits and related costs for certain employees terminated as a result of the Company's review of its operations of $7.3 million and $37.6 million for third quarter and year-to-date 2020, respectively, which have been recorded as Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, and are excluded from our Adjusted results.

Third quarter and year-to-date 2020 Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, also reflect the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements and certain other fixed assets in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and our business realignment initiatives of $0.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Effective Tax Rate

The third quarter effective tax rate was 24.0% versus 23.5% for the prior year period. The year-to-date effective tax rate was 21.0% versus 24.5% for the prior year period. The effective tax rate is principally impacted by the deduction associated with the appreciation or depreciation in the Firm's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price. The year-to-date provision for income taxes for 2021 reflects an additional tax benefit of $17.4 million versus an additional tax expense of $0.1 million for the prior year period, due to the net impact associated with the appreciation or depreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price.

Basis of Alternative Financial Statement Presentation

Our Adjusted results are a non-GAAP measure. As discussed further under "Non-GAAP Measures", 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 better reflects how management views its operating results. 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, Evercore's operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "outlook," "backlog," "believes," "expects," "potential," "probable," "continues," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "predicts," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "anticipates" or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this release are forward-looking statements and are based on various underlying assumptions and expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in Evercore's business. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. Evercore believes these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under "Risk Factors" discussed in Evercore's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and Registration Statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release. In addition, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Evercore to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can Evercore assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results and Evercore does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Evercore undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

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, as well as Unvested Restricted Stock Units granted to ISI employees, 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 and Investment Management. The differences between the Adjusted and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:

1. Assumed Exchange of Evercore LP Units into Class A Shares. In prior periods, the Company incurred expenses, in Employee Compensation and Benefits, resulting from the vesting of Evercore LP Units issued in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI. The Adjusted results assume substantially all of the LP Units have been exchanged for Class A shares. Accordingly, any expense associated with these units, is excluded from the Adjusted results, and the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to a controlling interest. The Company's management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed conversion of these previously granted equity interests and IPO related restricted stock units, and thus the Adjusted results reflect the exchange of substantially all Evercore LP Units and IPO related restricted stock unit awards into Class A shares.
2. Adjustments Associated with Business Combinations and Divestitures. The following charges resulting from business combinations and divestitures have been excluded from the Adjusted results because the Company's Management believes that operating performance is more comparable across periods excluding the effects of these acquisition-related charges:
   1. Amortization of Intangible Assets and Other Purchase Accounting-related Amortization. Amortization of intangible assets and other purchase accounting-related amortization from the acquisition of ISI and certain other acquisitions.
   2. Acquisition and Transition Costs. Primarily professional fees incurred and costs related to transitioning acquisitions or divestitures.
   3. Gain on Sale of ECB Trust Business. The gain resulting from the sale of the ECB Trust business in the third quarter of 2020 is excluded from the Adjusted presentation.
   4. Gain on Redemption of G5 Debt Security. The gain on the redemption of the G5 debt security in the second quarter of 2021 is excluded from the Adjusted presentation.
3. Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs. Expenses during 2021 that are excluded from the Adjusted presentation relate to the write-down of certain assets associated with a legacy private equity investment relationship which, consistent with the Company's current investment strategy, the Company decided to wind down during the third quarter. Expenses during 2020 that are excluded from the Adjusted presentation relate to separation and transition benefits and related costs for certain employees terminated as a result of the Company's review of its operations and the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements and certain other fixed assets in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and our business realignment initiatives.
4. Income Taxes. 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.
5. Presentation of Interest Expense. The Adjusted results present Adjusted Investment Banking Operating Income before interest expense on debt, which is included in interest expense on a U.S. GAAP basis. In addition, in prior periods, interest expense on short-term repurchase agreements, within the Investment Management segment, was presented in Other Revenue, net, as the Company's Management believes it is useful to present the spread on net interest resulting from the matched financial assets and liabilities.
6. Presentation of Income from Equity Method Investments. The Adjusted results present Income from Equity Method Investments within Revenue as the Company's Management believes it is a useful presentation.

Reclassifications:

Certain balances in the prior period were reclassified to conform to their current presentation in this release. "Commissions and Related Fees" has been renamed to "Commissions and Related Revenue" and principal trading gains and losses from our institutional equities business have been reclassified from "Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments" to "Commissions and Related Revenue." For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, this resulted in a reclassification of $150 thousand and $550 thousand, respectively, from "Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments" to "Commissions and Related Revenue." There was no impact on U.S. GAAP or Adjusted Net Revenues, Operating Income, Net Income or Earnings Per Share.

The prior period reclassifications from "Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments" to "Commissions and Related Revenue" are as follows: Q1 2020: $185 thousand; Q2 2020: $215 thousand; Q3 2020: $150 thousand; Q4 2020: $375 thousand; Q1 2019: ($2) thousand; Q2 2019: $25 thousand; Q3 2019: $320 thousand; Q4 2019: $249 thousand.
