8Private and Confidential Forward Looking Statements & Other Important Disclosures Forward Looking Statements. In this presentation, references to “Apollo,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer collectively to Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its subsidiaries, or as the context may otherwise require. This presentation may contain forward-looking statements that are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include, but are not limited to, discussions related to Apollo’s expectations regarding the performance of its business, its liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used in this presentation, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” "intend," "target" or future or conditional verbs, such as "will," "should," "could," or "may" and similar expressions, including “forecast”, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks relating to inflation, market conditions and interest rate fluctuations generally, the impact of COVID-19, the impact of energy market dislocation, our ability to manage our growth, our ability to operate in highly competitive environments, the performance of the funds we manage, our ability to raise new funds, the variability of our revenues, earnings and cash flow, the accuracy of management’s assumptions and estimates, our dependence on certain key personnel, our use of leverage to finance our businesses and investments by the funds we manage, Athene’s ability to maintain or improve financial strength ratings, the impact of Athene’s reinsurers failing to meet their assumed obligations, Athene’s ability to manage its business in a highly regulated industry, changes in our regulatory environment and tax status, and litigation risks, among others. We believe these factors include but are not limited to those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2023, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this presentation and in our other filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Estimates and Assumptions. This presentation includes certain unaudited financial and business projections and goals on Apollo’s future outlook (the “Estimates”). Apollo does not regularly provide future guidance or publicly disclose forecasts or projections as to future performance, earnings or other results due to the inherent unpredictability of projections and their underlying assumptions and estimates. The Estimates were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure and, accordingly, do not necessarily comply with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial forecasts or GAAP. Neither Apollo’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the Estimates or expressed any opinion or any form of assurance related thereto. The Estimates reflect the internal financial model that Apollo uses in connection with its strategic planning. The Estimates are illustrative and are included in this presentation solely to give Apollo’s investors access to these financial projections. The Estimates were based on numerous variables and assumptions made by Apollo’s management with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to Apollo’s businesses, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of Apollo’s management. Because the Estimates cover multiple years, by their nature, they also become subject to greater uncertainty and are less reliable with each successive year. The Estimates reflect subjective judgment in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As such, the Estimates constitute forward-looking information and are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results forecasted in these projections. There can be no assurance that the Estimates will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than forecast. The Estimates may be affected by Apollo’s ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives and targets over the applicable period. Please consider carefully the section above titled “Forward Looking Statements”. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Estimates will be realized, and actual results may vary materially from those shown. The Estimates cannot, therefore, be considered a guarantee of future operating results, and this information should not be relied on as such. The inclusion of the Estimates in this presentation should not be regarded as an indication that Apollo or any of its affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or representatives considered or considers the Estimates to be necessarily predictive of actual future events, and the Estimates should not be relied upon as such. The inclusion of the Estimates herein should not be deemed an admission or representation by Apollo that its management views the Estimates as material information. Neither Apollo or any of its affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or representatives has made or makes any representation to any of Apollo’s stockholders or any other person regarding the ultimate performance of Apollo compared to the information contained in the Estimates or can give any assurance that actual results will not differ materially from the Estimates, and none of them undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile the Estimates to reflect circumstances existing after the date the Estimates were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Estimates are shown to be in error. Certain of the projected financial information set forth herein may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures, because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as used by Apollo may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. No reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the Estimates to GAAP measures was created or used in connection with preparing the Estimates. In light of the foregoing factors and the uncertainties inherent in the Estimates, Apollo’s stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Estimates.

12Private and Confidential Definitions • “Segment Income”, or “SI”, is the key performance measure used by management in evaluating the performance of the asset management, retirement services, and principal investing segments. Management uses Segment Income to make 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; • decisions related to expenses, such as determining annual discretionary bonuses and equity-based compensation awards to its employees. With respect to compensation, management seeks to align the interests of certain professionals and selected other individuals with those of the investors in the funds and those of Apollo’s stockholders by providing such individuals a profit sharing interest in the performance fees earned in relation to the funds. To achieve that objective, a certain amount of compensation is based on Apollo’s performance and growth for the year; and • decisions related to the amount of earnings available for dividends to Common Stockholders and holders of RSUs that participate in dividends. Segment Income is the sum of (i) Fee Related Earnings, (ii) Spread Related Earnings, and (iii) Principal Investing Income. Segment Income excludes the effects of the consolidation of any of the related funds and SPACs, HoldCo interest and other financing costs not attributable to any specific segment, Taxes and Related Payables, transaction-related charges and any acquisitions. Transaction-related charges includes equity-based compensation charges, the amortization of intangible assets, contingent consideration, and certain other charges associated with acquisitions, and restructuring charges. In addition, Segment Income excludes non- cash revenue and expense related to equity awards granted by unconsolidated related parties to employees of the Company, compensation and administrative related expense reimbursements, as well as the assets, liabilities and operating results of the funds and VIEs that are included in the consolidated financial statements. • “Fee Related Earnings”, or “FRE”, is a component of Segment Income that is used to assess the performance of the Asset Management segment. FRE is the sum of (i) management fees, (ii) capital solutions and other related fees, (iii) fee-related performance fees from indefinite term vehicles, that are measured and received on a recurring basis and not dependent on realization events of the underlying investments and (iv) other income, net, less (a) fee-related compensation, excluding equity-based compensation, (b) non-compensation expenses incurred in the normal course of business, (c) placement fees and (d) non-controlling interests in the management companies of certain funds the Company manages. • “Spread Related Earnings”, or “SRE” is a component of Segment Income that is used to assess the performance of the Retirement Services segment, excluding certain market volatility, which consists of investment gains (losses), net of offsets and non-operating change in insurance liabilities and related derivatives, and certain expenses related to integration, restructuring, equity-based compensation, and other expenses. For the Retirement Services segment, SRE equals the sum of (i) the net investment earnings on Athene’s net invested assets and (ii) management fees received on business managed for others, primarily the ADIP portion of Athene's business ceded to ACRA, less (x) cost of funds, (y) operating expenses excluding equity-based compensation and (z) financing costs including interest expense and preferred dividends, if any, paid to Athene preferred stockholders. • “Principal Investing Income”, or “PII” is a component of Segment Income that is used to assess the performance of the Principal Investing segment. For the Principal Investing segment, PII is the sum of (i) realized performance fees, including certain realizations received in the form of equity, (ii) realized investment income, less (x) realized principal investing compensation expense, excluding expense related to equity-based compensation, and (y) certain corporate compensation and non-compensation expenses. • “FRE Compensation Ratio” is calculated as fee-related compensation divided by fee-related revenues (which includes management fees, capital solutions fees and other, net, and fee-related performance fees). • “PII Compensation Ratio” is calculated as Principal investing compensation divided by the sum of realized performance fees and realized investment income. • “Principal investing compensation” within the Principal Investing segment represents realized performance compensation, distributions related to investment income and dividends, and includes allocations of certain compensation expenses related to managing the business.
