NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Apollo Global Management, LLC (NYSE: APO) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “Apollo”) today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

Apollo reported ENI of $696.9 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $356.6 million for the same period of 2011. The 95% increase in ENI was driven by favorable performance in both Apollo’s Management and Incentive Businesses, which reported ENI of $64.3 million and $632.6 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, respectively, compared to $28.0 million and $328.6 million, respectively, for the same period in 2011.

Apollo reported ENI of $1,634.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to an economic net loss of $300.5 million for the same period of 2011. The year over year change in ENI was driven by favorable performance in both Apollo’s Management and Incentive Businesses, which reported ENI of $222.9 million and $1,411.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively, compared to $76.4 million and an economic net loss of $376.9 million, respectively, for the same period in 2011.

Apollo’s total AUM was $113.4 billion as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $38.2 billion, or 51%, compared to $75.2 billion as of December 31, 2011. The increase in total AUM was primarily driven by both organic and strategic growth in the credit segment, which had $64.4 billion of AUM as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $32.5 billion, or 102%, compared to $31.9 billion as of December 31, 2011. Fee-generating AUM was $81.9 billion as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $23.8 billion, or 41%, compared to $58.1 billion as of December 31, 2011. The increase in fee-generating AUM was also primarily driven from both organic and strategic growth in Apollo’s credit segment.

U.S. GAAP results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012 included net income attributable to Apollo of $171.5 million, or $1.12 per Class A share, compared to $10.9 million, or $0.05 per Class A share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2012, net income attributable to Apollo was $311.0 million, or $2.06 per Class A share, compared to a net loss of $468.8 million, or $(4.18) per Class A share, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

“Our results for the fourth quarter of 2012 completed an outstanding year for Apollo and we believe further demonstrate the significant earnings and cash generating power inherent in our integrated global investment platform,” said Leon Black, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “During 2012 we returned $11 billion to our fund investors across all of Apollo’s business segments, and we generated $1.94 in cash distributions for our shareholders. As we look to 2013 and beyond, we believe Apollo is well-positioned to continue to pursue a range of alternative investment strategies and deliver strong returns to our investors.”

Combined Segments

Total revenue for Apollo’s Management Business was $223.2 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $63.8 million, or 40%, from the same period in 2011. This includes management fee revenues of $176.4 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $48.6 million, or 38%, from the same period in 2011, which was primarily driven by growth in fee-generating AUM within Apollo’s credit segment.

Total revenue for Apollo’s Management Business was $810.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $193.8 million, or 31%, from the same period in 2011. This includes management fee revenues of $623.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, which increased $132.8 million, or 27%, from the same period in 2011, and advisory and transaction fee revenue of $150.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, which increased $67.7 million, or 82%, from the same period in 2011.

Apollo’s Incentive Business reported $962.3 million of total carried interest income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $473.1 million, or 97%, from the same period in 2011. As previously mentioned, there was $561.6 million of realized gains from carried interest income for the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of $283.4 million, or 102%, compared to the same period in 2011. The increase in realized gains from carried interest income was largely attributable to dispositions of investments held in LyondellBasell and Charter Communications, Inc. by funds managed by Apollo during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Apollo’s Incentive Business reported $2,163.6 million of total carried interest income for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to ($442.0) million for the same period in 2011. There were $997.2 million of realized gains from carried interest income for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $352.6 million, or 55%, compared to the same period in 2011.

Total expenses for Apollo’s Management Business were $164.1 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $33.2 million, or 25%, from the same period in 2011. Total expenses for Apollo’s Management Business were $600.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $56.9 million, or 10%, compared to the same period in 2011. The increase in total expenses for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 was partially driven by $8.2 million and $18.4 million of higher placement fees, respectively, primarily due to the larger amount of capital that was raised in 2012 compared to 2011.

Private Equity Segment

ENI from Apollo’s private equity segment was $609.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $232.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. The significant quarter over quarter increase was largely driven by total carried interest income of $873.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $328.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Apollo’s private equity funds, as measured by internal rate of return (“IRR”), continued to perform well during the fourth quarter of 2012. From its inception in 2008 through December 31, 2012, Fund VII generated an annual gross and net IRR of 35% and 26%, respectively. Fund VI, which began investing in 2006, generated an annual gross and net IRR of 11% and 9%, respectively, since its inception through December 31, 2012. The combined fair value of Apollo’s private equity funds, excluding A.P. Alternative Assets, L.P. ("AAA") was 57% above cost as of December 31, 2012 and appreciated by 9% during the fourth quarter of 2012. Uncalled private equity commitments were $7.5 billion as of December 31, 2012, which includes over $1 billion from Apollo’s natural resources fund.

The favorable performance of the underlying investments in Fund VII and Fund VI had a meaningful impact on Apollo’s carried interest income for the fourth quarter of 2012. There was $200.9 million and $592.8 million of total carried interest income related to Fund VII and Fund VI, respectively, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $356.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the same period in 2011. The significant increase in total carried interest income for Fund VI was largely impacted by the 80-20 “catch-up” of unrealized carried interest income. The 80-20 catch-up went into effect after Fund VI fully reversed the related $170.2 million general partner obligation to return previously distributed carried interest income that existed as of September 30, 2012. The reversal of this general partner obligation primarily resulted from the unrealized appreciation of Fund VI’s public portfolio company holdings during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, including both Realogy and LyondellBasell.

Credit Segment

ENI from Apollo’s credit segment was $90.0 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $139.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. The quarter over quarter decline in ENI was largely driven by total carried interest income of $84.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $160.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2011. In addition, the income from equity method investments and net gains from investment activities was collectively $18.7 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $24.8 million for the same period in 2011.

Management fees from Apollo’s credit segment were $92.0 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, which increased by $42.0 million compared to the same period in 2011. Total Management Business expenses within the credit segment were $86.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, which increased by $41.1 million compared to the same period in 2011. The increases in both management fees and expenses were largely driven by the acquisitions of Stone Tower Capital LLC and Gulf Stream Asset Management LLC which closed on April 2, 2012 and October 24, 2011, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2012, $1.2 billion of additional capital was raised across Apollo’s credit platform, including over $900 million dedicated to Apollo’s European loan strategies.

Real Estate Segment

Apollo’s real estate segment had an economic net loss of $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to a $15.4 million loss for the fourth quarter of 2011. Total revenues for the real estate segment during the fourth quarter of 2012 were $16.6 million, an increase of $5.6 million or 51% compared to $11.0 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in revenues during the fourth quarter of 2012 was largely due to a $4.4 million increase in total carried interest income. As of December 31, 2012, Apollo’s real estate AUM was $8.8 billion, compared to $8.0 billion at December 31, 2011.

Capital and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2012, Apollo had $946 million of cash and cash equivalents and $738 million of debt. These amounts exclude cash and debt associated with Apollo’s consolidated funds and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). As of December 31, 2012, Apollo had a $1,878.3 million carried interest receivable and corresponding profit sharing payable of $857.7 million as well as total investments in its private equity, credit and real estate funds of $444 million, excluding investments held by consolidated VIEs and consolidated funds.

Distribution

Apollo Global Management, LLC has declared a fourth quarter 2012 cash distribution of $1.05 per Class A share, which comprises a regular distribution of $0.07 per Class A share and a quarterly distribution of $0.98 per Class A share primarily attributable to fund realizations and interest and dividend income earned by our funds. This distribution will be paid on February 28, 2013 to holders of record at the close of business on February 20, 2013.

Apollo intends to distribute to its shareholders on a quarterly basis substantially all of its net after-tax cash flow in excess of amounts determined by its manager to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business.

(2)		AION Capital Partners Limited (“AION”) and Apollo Natural Resources Partners, L.P. (“ANRP”) commenced investing capital less than 24 months prior to the period indicated. Given the limited investment period and overall longer investment period for private equity funds, the return information was deemed not meaningful.
(3)		Fund I and Fund II were structured such that investments were made from either fund depending on which fund had available capital. We do not differentiate between Fund I and Fund II investments for purposes of performance figures because they are not meaningful on a separate basis and do not demonstrate the progression of returns over time. The general partners and managers of Funds I, II and MIA, as well as the general partner of Fund III were excluded assets in connection with the 2007 reorganization of Apollo Global Management, LLC. As a result, Apollo Global Management, LLC did not receive the economics associated with these entities. The investment performance of these funds is presented to illustrate fund performance associated with our managing partners and other investment professionals.
(4)		Total IRR is calculated based on total cash flows for all funds presented.
(5)		AP Alternative Assets, L.P. (“AAA”) completed its initial public offering in June 2006 and is the sole limited partner in AAA Investments, L.P. (the “Investment Partnership”). AAA was originally designed to give investors in its common units exposure as a limited partner to certain of the strategies that we employ and allowed us to manage the asset allocations to those strategies by investing alongside our private equity funds and directly in our credit funds and certain other opportunistic investments that we sponsor and manage. On October 31, 2012 the Investment Partnership closed on an agreement to contribute substantially all of its investments to Athene Holding Ltd. (“Athene”) in exchange for common shares of Athene, cash and a short term promissory note (the “Transaction”). After the Transaction, Athene is the Investment Partnership’s only material investment and the Investment Partnership will remain the largest shareholder of Athene with an approximate 77% ownership stake (based on capital invested to date). Total Returns have been presented on an annualized basis and were calculated on a weighted average basis. See www.alternativeassets.com for the most recent financial information on AAA.

The above investment record tables exclude certain funds and SIAs with an aggregate AUM of approximately $4 billion as of December 31, 2012, which were excluded because management deemed them to be immaterial.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND DEFINITIONS (UNAUDITED)

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Apollo discloses the following 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”):

Economic Net Income, or ENI, as well as ENI after taxes are key performance measures used by management in evaluating the performance of Apollo’s private equity, credit and real estate segments. Management also believes the components of ENI such as the amount of management fees, advisory and transaction fees and carried interest income are indicative of Apollo’s performance. Management uses these performance measures in making key operating decisions such as the following:
- Decisions related to the allocation of resources such as staffing decisions including hiring and locations for deployment of the new hires;
- Decisions related to capital deployment such as providing capital to facilitate growth for the business and/or to facilitate expansion into new businesses; and
- Decisions related to expenses, such as determining annual discretionary bonuses and equity-based compensation awards to its employees. As it relates to compensation, management seeks to align the interests of certain professionals and selected other individuals with those of the investors in such funds and those of the Company’s shareholders by providing such individuals a profit sharing interest in the carried interest income earned in relation to the funds. To achieve that objective, a certain amount of compensation is based on the Company’s performance and growth for the year.

These measures of profitability have certain limitations in that they do not take into account certain items included under U.S. GAAP. ENI represents segment income (loss) attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC, which excludes the impact of non-cash charges related to RSUs granted in connection with the 2007 private placement and amortization of AOG units, income tax expense, amortization of intangibles associated with the 2007 Reorganization as well as acquisitions and Non-Controlling Interests excluding the remaining interest held by certain individuals who receive an allocation of income from certain of our credit management companies. In addition, segment data excludes the assets, liabilities and operating results of the consolidated funds and VIEs that are included in the consolidated financial statements.

ENI After Taxes represents ENI adjusted to reflect Income tax provision on ENI that has been calculated assuming that all income is allocated to Apollo Global Management, LLC, which would occur following an exchange of all AOG units for Class A shares of Apollo Global Management, LLC. The assumptions and methodology impact the implied income tax provision which is consistent with those methodologies and assumptions used in calculating the income tax provision for Apollo’s consolidated statements of operations under U.S. GAAP. We believe this measure is more consistent with how we assess the performance of our segments which is described above in our definition of ENI.
ENI After Taxes per Share represents ENI After Taxes which is divided by Non-GAAP Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding. We believe ENI After Taxes per Share provides useful information to shareholders because management uses ENI After Taxes per Share as the basis to derive our earnings available for the determination of distributions to Class A shareholders.
Non-GAAP Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding is calculated using the GAAP Weighted Average Outstanding Class A Shares plus Non-GAAP adjustments assuming (i) the exchange of all of the AOG units for 240,000,000 Class A shares and (ii) the settlement of the weighted average vested RSUs in the form of Class A shares during the period. Management uses this measure in determining ENI After Taxes per Share described above.
Non-GAAP Diluted Shares Outstanding is calculated using the GAAP Outstanding Class A Shares plus Non-GAAP adjustments assuming (i) the exchange of all of the AOG units for 240,000,000 Class A shares and (ii) the settlement of the vested RSUs in the form of Class A shares during the period. Management uses this measure, taking into account the unvested RSUs that participate in distributions, in determining our Class A shares eligible for cash distributions.

Definitions

Assets Under Management, or AUM, refers to the investments we manage or with respect to which we have control, including capital we have the right to call from our investors pursuant to their capital commitments to various funds. Our AUM equals the sum of:

(i) the fair value of our private equity investments plus the capital that we are entitled to call from our investors pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments plus non-recallable capital to the extent a fund is within the commitment period in which management fees are calculated based on total commitments to the fund;

(ii) the net asset value, or “NAV,” of our credit funds, other than certain U.S performing and structured credit funds which are structured as CLOs (such as Artus, which we measure by using the mark-to-market value of the aggregate principal amount of the underlying CLO) or certain CLO and CDO credit funds that have a fee generating basis other than mark-to-market asset, plus used or available leverage and/or capital commitments;

(iii) the gross asset values or net asset value of our real estate entities and the structured portfolio vehicle investments included within the funds we manage, which includes the leverage used by such structured portfolio vehicles;

(iv) the incremental value associated with the reinsurance investments of the portfolio company assets that we manage; and

(v) the fair value of any other investments that we manage plus unused credit facilities, including capital commitments for investments that may require pre-qualification before investment plus any other capital commitments available for investment that are not otherwise included in the clauses above.

Our AUM measure includes Assets Under Management for which we charge either no or nominal fees. Our definition of AUM is not based on any definition of Assets Under Management contained in our operating agreement or in any of our Apollo fund management agreements. We consider multiple factors for determining what should be included in our definition of AUM. Such factors include but are not limited to (1) our ability to influence the investment decisions for existing and available assets; (2) our ability to generate income from the underlying assets in our funds; and (3) the AUM measures that we use internally or believe are used by other investment managers. Given the differences in the investment strategies and structures among other alternative investment managers, our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations employed by other investment managers and, as a result, this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers.

We use AUM as a performance measurement of our investment activities, as well as to monitor fund size in relation to professional resource and infrastructure needs.

Fee-generating AUM consists of assets that we manage and on which we earn management fees or monitoring fees pursuant to management agreements on a basis that varies among the Apollo funds. Management fees are normally based on “net asset value,” “gross assets,” “adjusted par asset value,” “adjusted cost of all unrealized portfolio investments,” “capital commitments,” “adjusted assets,” “stockholders’ equity,” “invested capital” or “capital contributions,” each as defined in the applicable management agreement. Monitoring fees for AUM purposes are based on the total value of certain structured portfolio vehicle investments, which normally include leverage, less any portion of such total value that is already considered in fee-generating AUM.

We use fee-generating AUM as a performance measurement of our investment activities, as well as to monitor fund size in relation to professional resource and infrastructure needs.

Non-fee generating AUM consists of assets that do not produce management fees or monitoring fees. These assets generally consist of the following:

(i) fair value above invested capital for those funds that earn management fees based on invested capital;

(ii) net asset values related to general partner and co-investment ownership;

(iii) unused credit facilities;

(iv) available commitments on those funds that generate management fees on invested capital;

(v) structured portfolio vehicle investments that do not generate monitoring fees; and

(vi) the difference between gross assets and net asset value for those funds that earn management fees based on net asset value.

We use non-fee generating AUM combined with fee-generating AUM as a performance measurement of our investment activities, as well as to monitor fund size in relation to professional resource and infrastructure needs. Non-fee generating AUM includes assets on which we could earn carried interest income.

Private equity dollars invested is the aggregate amount of dollars invested by certain of Apollo’s private equity funds during a given period, which we believe is a useful supplemental measure because it provides shareholders with information about the capital deployed for investment opportunities in a given period.
Uncalled private equity commitments represents unfunded capital commitments that certain of Apollo’s private equity funds have received from its limited partners to contribute capital to fund future or current investments and expenses, which we believe is a useful supplemental measure because it provides shareholders with information about the unfunded capital commitments available to be deployed for future or current investments and expenses for our private equity funds.
“Gross IRR” of a fund represents the cumulative investment-related cash flows for all of the investors in the fund on the basis of the actual timing of investment inflows and outflows (for unrealized investments assuming disposition on December 31, 2012 or other date specified) aggregated on a gross basis quarterly, and the return is annualized and compounded before management fees, carried interest and certain other fund expenses (including interest incurred by the fund itself) and measures the returns on the fund’s investments as a whole without regard to whether all of the returns would, if distributed, be payable to the fund’s investors.
“Net IRR” of a fund means the Gross IRR applicable to all investors, including related parties which may not pay fees, net of management fees, organizational expenses, transaction costs, and certain other fund expenses (including interest incurred by the fund itself) and realized carried interest all offset to the extent of interest income, and measures returns based on amounts that, if distributed, would be paid to investors of the fund; to the extent that an Apollo private equity fund exceeds all requirements detailed within the applicable fund agreement, the estimated unrealized value is adjusted such that a percentage of up to 20.0% of the unrealized gain is allocated to the general partner, thereby reducing the balance attributable to fund investors.
