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

Apollo reported total economic net income of $462.0 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $376.6 million for the first quarter of 2011. The 23% increase in ENI was driven by improved performance in both Apollo’s Management Business and Incentive Business, which reported ENI of $35.1 million and $426.9 million for the first quarter of 2012, respectively, compared to $14.7 million and $361.9 million for the first quarter of 2011, respectively.

Total AUM was $86.1 billion as of March 31, 2012, compared to $70.0 billion as of March 31, 2011, an increase of $16.1 billion or 23%. The $16.1 billion increase in total AUM includes an $11.3 billion increase in fee-generating AUM, discussed further below, as well as $3.0 billion from the long-term strategic partnership with the Teachers Retirement System of Texas (TRS).

Fee-generating AUM was $59.6 billion as of March 31, 2012, compared to $48.3 billion as of March 31, 2011, an increase of $11.3 billion, or 23%. The increase in fee-generating AUM was driven by both organic and strategic growth across Apollo’s segments, including $7.0 billion related to Athene Holding Ltd. and its affiliates (“Athene”), $3.0 billion from the acquisition of Gulf Stream Asset Management LLC during the fourth quarter of 2011, as well as new capital raised for our natural resources, longevity and real estate investment strategies.

U.S. GAAP results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 included net income attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC of $98.0 million, compared to $38.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Leon Black, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, “We believe our first quarter results demonstrate the strength of Apollo’s global integrated platform and that 2012 is off to a terrific start in terms of capital formation, capital deployment, and cash distributions for our shareholders. Moreover, with the recent closing of Apollo’s acquisition of Stone Tower Capital, our total assets under management now exceed $100 billion on a pro-forma basis, and capital markets has become the firm’s largest business segment based on total assets under management. We continue to seek attractive investment opportunities that will drive growth and diversification across our platform.”

Combined Segments

Total revenue for Apollo’s Management Business was $166.9 million during the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $16.8 million, or 11%, from the first quarter of 2011. This includes management fee revenues of $130.0 million for the first quarter of 2012, which increased $11.8 million, or 10%, from the first quarter of 2011, and transaction and advisory fee revenue of $27.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, which increased $7.9 million, or 41%, from $19.4 million during the first quarter of 2011.

Apollo’s Incentive Business reported $624.1 million of total carried interest income during the first quarter of 2012, a $77.9 million increase or 14%, compared to $546.2 million during the first quarter of 2011. These amounts include $149.8 million of total realized gains from carried interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, an 11% increase compared to $134.8 million during the first quarter of 2011. The increase in realized gains in carried interest income during the first quarter of 2012 was driven by the recurring interest and dividend income earned within certain Apollo funds.

Total expenses for Apollo’s Management Business were $137.4 million during the first quarter of 2012, a slight decrease from $140.1 million during the first quarter of 2011. Total salary, bonus and benefits expense for Apollo’s Management Business was $65.1 million during the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 10%, from the first quarter of 2011. The compensation expense decrease was largely driven by the performance-based incentive arrangement adopted by Apollo in June 2011, whereby certain partners and senior employees earn discretionary compensation based on carried interest realizations. During the first quarter of 2012, there was $21.1 million of such discretionary compensation reflected in the Incentive Business as profit sharing expense. Offsetting this compensation expense decrease was increased headcount primarily from the expansion of our capital markets platform. Non-compensation expenses for Apollo’s Management Business were $53.4 million during the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 3%, from the first quarter of 2011.

Private Equity Segment

The economic net income from Apollo’s private equity segment was $311.2 million for the first quarter of 2012, a $28.8 million increase, or 10%, compared to $282.4 million for the first quarter of 2011. Management Business revenues for the private equity segment were $92.9 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $80.6 million for the first quarter of 2011. The $12.3 million increase was primarily driven by higher advisory and transaction fees, which included $6.1 million in fees received associated with Rexnord Corporation’s initial public offering in March 2012. Management Business expenses for the private equity segment were $59.4 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $68.6 million for the first quarter of 2011. Total carried interest income of $448.1 million for the first quarter of 2012, which increased slightly from $441.7 million for the first quarter of 2011.

During the first quarter of 2012, Apollo’s private equity segment had $122.1 million of realized carried interest income, $89.5 million of which was generated by Fund VI based primarily on interest and dividend income earned by underlying investments. The $89.5 million includes $32.4 million of income that was recognized by Fund VI during the fourth quarter of 2011 but not recorded as realized carried interest income until the first quarter of 2012 after Fund VI met the priority return and other related contractual requirements specific to the related underlying investments.

Apollo’s private equity fund performance, as measured by IRR, continued to improve during the quarter. From its inception in 2008 through March 31, 2012, Fund VII generated an annual gross and net IRR of 35% and 25%, respectively. Fund VI, which began investing in 2006 during the peak of the credit and housing market boom, generated an annual gross and net IRR of 10% and 9%, respectively, since its inception through March 31, 2012. The combined fair value of Apollo’s private equity funds was 48% above cost as of March 31, 2012 and appreciated by 16% during the first quarter of 2012.

Apollo continued to identify compelling investment opportunities during the quarter, led by the acquisition of Taminco Group Holdings, the largest independent global producer of alkylamines and their derivatives, for approximately €1.1 billion including debt. Private equity capital invested during the first quarter of 2012 was $1.0 billion, and uncalled private equity commitments, or “dry powder”, was $7.4 billion as of March 31, 2012.

Capital Markets Segment

The economic net income from Apollo’s capital markets segment was $155.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, a $53.9 million increase, or 53%, when compared to economic net income of $101.7 million for the first quarter of 2011. Apollo’s capital markets segment had total carried interest income of $174.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $104.5 million during the first quarter of 2011. Management fees within the capital markets segment were $52.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $9.2 million, or 21%, compared to the first quarter of 2011. The increase in management fees was largely driven by the acquisition of Gulf Stream Asset Management LLC during the fourth quarter of 2011 and additional AUM managed by Athene Asset Management, LLC.

On April 2, 2012, Apollo finalized its agreement to acquire Stone Tower Capital LLC and its related management companies (“Stone Tower”), a leading alternative credit manager. The Stone Tower transaction bolsters Apollo’s position as one of the world’s largest and most diverse credit managers by adding significant scale and several new credit product capabilities. Stone Tower managed approximately $18.7 billion of AUM as of March 31, 2012, which includes $5.1 billion of AUM with a contractual life of 12 to 18 months. Apollo’s capital markets AUM on a pro-forma basis including Stone Tower was $55.2 billion as of March 31, 2012, which increased $31.4 billion, or 132%, from $23.8 billion of capital markets AUM as of March 31, 2011.

Real Estate Segment

Apollo’s real estate segment had an economic net loss of $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to an economic net loss of $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2011. Total revenues for the real estate segment during the first quarter of 2012 were $12.1 million, as compared to $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. As of March 31, 2012, Apollo’s real estate AUM was $8.3 billion, compared to $6.5 billion at March 31, 2011 due to the launch of new funds.

During April 2012, AGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund, LP (“AGRE U.S.”) held a final closing, bringing total commitments to $713 million. AGRE U.S. has already made several investments, including the acquisition of the Novotel New York Times Square hotel in partnership with Chartres Lodging Group, which was completed during the first quarter of 2012.

Capital and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2012, Apollo had $640.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $738.3 million of debt. These amounts exclude cash and debt associated with Apollo’s consolidated funds and consolidated variable interest entities. As of March 31, 2012, Apollo had a $1,369.8 million carried interest receivable and corresponding profit sharing payable of $568.8 million as well as total investments in its private equity, capital markets and real estate funds of $425.2 million, excluding consolidated VIEs and AAA.

Distribution

Apollo Global Management, LLC has declared a first quarter 2012 cash distribution of $0.25 per Class A share, which comprises a regular distribution of $0.07 per Class A share and a quarterly distribution of $0.18 per Class A share primarily attributable to realizations from portfolio company and credit investment dispositions as well as interest and dividend income earned by our private equity and capital markets funds. This distribution will be paid on May 30, 2012 to holders of record at the close of business on May 21, 2012.

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.

(1) Figures include the market values, estimated fair value of certain unrealized investments and capital committed to investments.

(2) 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.

(4) Total IRR is calculated based on total cash flows for all funds presented.

(1) Figures include estimated fair value of unrealized investments.

(2) Returns have not been presented as the fund commenced investing capital less than 24 months prior to the period indicated and therefore such return information was deemed not meaningful.

(3) AGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund, L.P., a newly formed closed-end private investment fund that intends to make real estate-related investments principally located in the United States, held closings in January 2011 and June 2011 for a total of $134.9 million in base capital commitments and $250 million in additional capital commitments. Additionally, there was $72.0 million of co-invest commitments raised for an investment in the first quarter of 2012, which is included in the figures in the table above.

(4) As part of the CPI acquisition, Apollo acquired general partner interests in fully invested funds. The net IRRs from the inception of the respective fund to March 31, 2012 were (10.3)%, 3.7% and (16.3)% for the CPI Capital Partners North America, Asia Pacific and Europe funds, respectively. These net IRRs were primarily achieved during a period in which Apollo did not make the initial investment decisions and Apollo only became the general partner or manager of these funds upon completing the acquisition on November 12, 2010.

(5) CPI Capital Partners Europe is denominated in Euros and translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of €1.00 to $1.33 as of March 31, 2012.

(6) CPI Other consists of funds or individual investments of which we are not the general partner or manager and only receive fees pursuant to either a sub-advisory agreement or an investment management and administrative agreement. CPI Other fund performance is a result of invested capital prior to Apollo’s management of these funds. Return and certain other performance data is therefore not considered meaningful as we perform primarily an administrative role.

Apollo also manages Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (NYSE: ARI), which as of March 31, 2012, had total raised capital and total stockholders' equity of $355.3 million and $338.4 million, respectively.

APOLLO GLOBAL MANAGEMENT, LLC
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, capital markets 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 capital markets 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 capital markets funds, other than certain senior credit funds, which are structured as collateralized loan obligations (such as Artus, which we measure by using the mark-to-market value of the aggregate principal amount of the underlying collateralized loan obligations) or certain collateralized loan obligation and collateralized debt obligation 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 March 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.
