NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Apollo Global Management, LLC (NYSE: APO) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “Apollo”) today reported results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

Apollo reported total economic net income of $356.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $925.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. The change was primarily driven by Apollo’s Incentive Business, which reported economic net income of $328.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to economic net income of $799.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Apollo reported a total economic net loss of $300.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to total economic net income of $1,317.2 million for the year ended 2010. The total economic net loss in 2011 was largely driven by lower unrealized mark-to-market valuations within Apollo’s private equity and capital markets segments.

Apollo’s Management Business reported $28.0 million of economic net income for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 after excluding a gain of $95.0 million from insurance proceeds and a $24.1 million gain related to the acquisition of Citi Property Investors (“CPI”), which were both recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010. Apollo’s Management Business reported $76.4 million of economic net income for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $73.4 million for 2010 after excluding a $162.5 million gain from insurance proceeds and a $24.1 million gain related to the acquisition of CPI, which were both recognized during 2010.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, Apollo’s definition of economic net income was modified to include the portion of its equity-based compensation expense that relates to new hire grants and ongoing bonus grants as well as certain non-controlling interests, the effects of which were partially offset by the exclusion of amortization pertaining to intangible assets. This definition is consistent with the way in which management uses economic net income to assess the performance of Apollo’s segments, and management believes these adjustments result in an economic net income amount that is more comparable with economic net income definitions generally used within Apollo’s industry. Segment results impacted by these adjustments are reflected in this release on a retroactive basis.

Total AUM was $75.2 billion as of December 31, 2011, compared to $67.6 billion as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $7.6 billion, or 11%. Fee-generating AUM was $58.1 billion as of December 31, 2011, compared to $47.0 billion as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $11.1 billion, or 24%. The growth in total and fee-generating AUM was driven by both organic and strategic growth in Apollo’s capital markets and real estate segments, including $6.2 billion related to Athene Life Re Ltd. and its affiliates, and $3.0 billion from the acquisition of Gulf Stream Asset Management LLC during the fourth quarter of 2011. The $7.6 billion increase in total AUM was also net of a $3.5 billion decrease in AUM related to distributions to Apollo and the limited partners in certain funds within the private equity segment. The majority of such decrease in AUM was non-fee generating.

GAAP results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 included net income attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC of $10.9 million, compared to net income attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC of $206.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, there was a net loss attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC of $468.8 million, compared to net income attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC of $94.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Leon Black, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, “2011 was an outstanding year for Apollo as we remained focused on our core investment strategies while continuing to drive growth across all of Apollo’s businesses. We generated a record $645 million of realized carry revenues in 2011, which demonstrates the value of our integrated investment platform, particularly amidst challenging market conditions. During 2011 we also successfully completed Apollo’s initial public offering, expanded our platform through a number of organic and strategic initiatives, and raised a significant amount of new investment capital, bringing total assets under management to a record level of over $75 billion. We believe this positive momentum leaves Apollo well-positioned for continued growth as we head into 2012 and beyond.”

Combined Segments

Total revenue for Apollo’s Management Business was $159.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of $9.0 million, or 6%, from the fourth quarter of 2010. This includes management fee revenues of $127.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, which increased $13.3 million, or 12%, from the fourth quarter of 2010, and net transaction and advisory fee revenue of $22.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, which decreased slightly from $22.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Total revenue for Apollo’s Management Business was $617.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $58.7 million, or 11%, from the year ended December 31, 2010. This includes management fee revenues of $490.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, which increased $59.0 million, or 14%, from the year ended December 31, 2010, and net transaction and advisory fee revenue of $82.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, which increased slightly from $79.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Apollo’s Incentive Business reported $278.2 million of total realized gains from carried interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, a 238% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Apollo’s Incentive Business had total realized gains from carried interest income of $644.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a 229% increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The significant increase in realized gains in carried interest income during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 was driven by the sale of several portfolio companies as well as recurring interest and dividend income earned within certain Apollo funds. There was also a special dividend that was declared and paid by LyondellBasell during the quarter ended December 31, 2011, which also contributed to realized gains from carried interest income during the same period.

Total expenses for Apollo’s Management Business were $130.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of $14.8 million or 10% from the fourth quarter of 2010. Total compensation expense for Apollo’s Management Business was $66.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of $13.3 million, or 17%, from the fourth quarter of 2010. The compensation expense decrease was impacted by the performance-based incentive plan adopted by Apollo in June 2011, whereby certain partners and employees earn discretionary compensation based on carried interest realizations. Such discretionary compensation is reflected in the Incentive Business as profit sharing expense. Non-compensation expenses for Apollo’s Management Business were $64.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 2%, from the fourth quarter of 2010.

Total expenses for Apollo’s Management Business were $543.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $64.5 million, or 13%, from the year ended December 31, 2010. Total compensation expense for Apollo’s Management Business was $319.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $39.1 million, or 14%, from the year ended December 31, 2010, which was primarily driven by greater equity-based compensation expense from an increase in headcount during 2011. Non-compensation expenses for Apollo’s Management Business were $224.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $25.4 million, or 13%, from the fourth quarter of 2010, which was primarily driven by the continued expansion of Apollo’s global investment platform.

Private Equity Segment

The economic net income from Apollo’s private equity segment was $232.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $787.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Apollo’s private equity segment had total carried interest income of $328.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, which included realized carried interest income of $240.0 million that was largely driven by the portfolio company sales of Connections Education in Fund IV and Parallel Petroleum in Fund VII, as well as the special dividend from LyondellBasell.

Aggregate revenues among Apollo’s Fund VI and Fund VII portfolio company investments were up an estimated 16% during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 2010, and EBITDA was up an estimated 13% in aggregate over the same period. In addition, the combined fair value of Apollo’s underlying private equity investments was 30% above cost as of December 31, 2011 and appreciated by 10% during the fourth quarter of 2011.

Apollo’s private equity funds continued to generate positive IRRs during the quarter despite the lower unrealized mark-to-market valuations in 2011. From its inception in 2008 through December 31, 2011, Fund VII generated an annual gross and net IRR of 31% and 22%, 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 6% and 5%, respectively, since its inception through December 31, 2011.

Despite the significant volatility in global financial markets during the fourth quarter of 2011, Apollo continued to identify and execute upon a number of compelling investment opportunities around the world, with a particular emphasis on the purchase of publicly-traded distressed debt securities across several industries. Private equity capital invested during the fourth quarter of 2011 was $1.2 billion, and uncalled private equity commitments, or “dry powder”, was $8.2 billion as of December 31, 2011.

Capital Markets Segment

The economic net income from Apollo’s capital markets segment was $139.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to economic net income of $128.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Apollo’s capital markets segment had total carried interest income of $160.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $135.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2010. Management fees within the capital markets segment were $50.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of $7.4 million, or 17%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.

During December 2011, Apollo announced an agreement to merge Stone Tower Capital LLC and its related management companies (“Stone Tower”), a leading alternative credit manager into Apollo’s capital markets business. The transaction is expected to close in April, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions. Apollo believes the Stone Tower transaction will bolster 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 manages approximately $18 billion of AUM that was not included in Apollo’s AUM as of December 31, 2011.

Real Estate Segment

Apollo’s real estate segment had an economic net loss of $15.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to an economic net loss of $14.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 after adjusting for the $24.1 million gain related to the acquisition of CPI, which was completed in November 2010. Total revenues for the real estate segment during the fourth quarter of 2011 were $11.0 million, as compared to $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The $4.6 million increase in revenues was primarily driven by increased management fees following Apollo’s acquisition of CPI in November 2010. As of December 31, 2011, Apollo’s real estate AUM was $8.0 billion, compared to $6.5 billion at December 31, 2010.

Capital and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2011, Apollo had $738.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $738.5 million of debt. These amounts exclude cash and debt associated with Apollo’s consolidated funds and consolidated variable interest entities. As of December 31, 2011, Apollo had a $868.6 million carried interest receivable and corresponding profit sharing payable of $352.9 million as well as total investments in its private equity, capital markets and real estate funds of $353.1 million.

Distribution

Apollo Global Management, LLC has declared a fourth quarter 2011 cash distribution of $0.46 per Class A share, which comprises a regular distribution of $0.07 per Class A share and a quarterly distribution of $0.39 per Class A share attributable largely to realizations from portfolio company sales as well as interest and dividend income. This distribution will be paid on February 29, 2012 to holders of record at the close of business on February 23, 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. However, we cannot assure shareholders that they will receive any distributions.

(1)		Figures include the market values, estimated fair value of certain unrealized investments and capital committed to investments.
(2)		Fund VII only commenced investing capital within 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.

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 compensation, 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 who have a profit sharing interest in the carried interest income earned in relation to the funds, with those of the investors in such funds and those of the Company’s shareholders. 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.

During the fourth quarter 2011, the Company modified the measurement of ENI to better evaluate the performance of Apollo’s private equity, capital markets and real estate segments in making key operating decisions. These modifications include a reduction to ENI for equity-based compensation expense for RSUs (excluding RSUs granted in connection with the 2007 private placement) and share options, a reduction for non-controlling interests related to the remaining interest held by certain individuals who receive an allocation of income from certain of our capital markets management companies and an add-back for amortization of intangibles associated with the 2007 Reorganization and acquisitions.

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 for 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 the exchange of all of the AOG units for 240,000,000 Class A shares and weighted average vested RSUs that have not been issued in the form of Class A shares during the period which is used by management in our determination of 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 the exchange of all of the AOG units for 240,000,000 Class A shares and vested RSUs that have not been issued in the form of Class A shares during the period which is used by management in addition to the unvested RSUs that participate in distributions in determination of our Class A shareholders eligible for cash distributions.

Definitions

Assets Under Management (“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 investments 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 investments for our private equity funds.
