Blackstone’s effective tax rate was 6.3% and 7.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Blackstone’s income tax provision was $99.3 million and $54.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Blackstone’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was substantially due to the following: (a) certain corporate subsidiaries are subject to federal, state, local and foreign income taxes as applicable and other subsidiaries are subject to New York City unincorporated business taxes, and (b) a portion of compensation charges are not deductible for tax purposes.
