(d) Unless otherwise indicated, Net Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) represents the annualized inception to September 30, 2023 IRR on total invested capital based on realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues. IRRs are calculated using actual timing of limited partner cash flows. Initial inception date of cash flows may differ from the Investment Period Beginning Date.

(e) The 8% Realized Net IRR and 8% Total Net IRR exclude investors that opted out of the Hilton investment opportunity. Overall BREP International II performance reflects a 7% Realized Net IRR and a 7% Total Net IRR.

(f) BREP Co-Investment represents co-investment capital raised for various BREP investments. The Net IRR reflected is calculated by aggregating each co-investment’s realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues.

(g) BREDS High-Yield represents the flagship real estate debt drawdown funds only.

(h) Blackstone Core Equity Partners is a core private equity strategy which invests with a more modest risk profile and longer hold period than traditional private equity.

(i) Strategic Partners’ Unrealized Investment Value, Realized Investment Value, Total Investment Value, Total MOIC and Total Net IRRs are reported on a three-month lag and therefore do not include the impact of economic and market activities in the current quarter. Prior to June 30, 2023, the calculation of such metrics also incorporated investor cash flow information from the current quarter to the extent available. Effective June 30, 2023, such current quarter cash flow information is no longer incorporated. Committed Capital and Available Capital continue to be presented as of the current quarter. We believe the updated presentation is more reflective of the Strategic Partners’ investor experience. Realizations are treated as returns of capital until fully recovered and therefore Unrealized and Realized MOICs and Realized Net IRRs are not applicable. Effective June 30, 2023, Strategic Partners I-V and Strategic Partners Real Estate, SMA and Other exclude investment vehicles where Blackstone does not earn fees, which were previously included.

(j) European Senior Debt II Levered has a net return of 16%, European Senior Debt II Unlevered has a net return of 8%.

(k) Funds presented represent the flagship credit drawdown funds only. The Total Credit Net IRR is the combined IRR of the credit drawdown funds presented.

The returns presented herein represent those of the applicable Blackstone Funds and not those of Blackstone Inc. n/m represents “not meaningful” generally due to the limited time since initial investment. n/a represents “not applicable”. Notes continue on page 22.   Blackstone |  21

(m) Unless otherwise indicated, Total Net Return represents the annualized inception to September 30, 2023 IRR on total invested capital based on realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues.

(o) The BREIT Total Net Return reflects a per share blended return, assuming BREIT had a single share class, reinvestment of all dividends received during the period, and no upfront selling commission, net of all fees and expenses incurred by BREIT. This return is not representative of the return experienced by any particular investor or share class. Total Net Return is presented on an annualized basis and is from January 1, 2017.

(p) Represents the Total Net Return for BREIT’s Class I shares, its largest share class. Performance varies by share class.

Total Net Returns are presented on an annualized basis and are from November 20, 2018.

(t) The BCRED Total Net Return reflects a per share blended return, assuming BCRED had a single share class, reinvestment of all dividends received during the period, and no upfront selling commission, net of all fees and expenses incurred by BCRED. This return is not representative of the return experienced by any particular investor or share class. Total Net Return is presented on an annualized basis and is from January 7, 2021. Total AUM reflects gross asset value plus amounts borrowed or available to be borrowed under certain credit facilities. BCRED net asset value as of September 30, 2023 was $26.2 billion.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES – NOTES

Note:  See pages 36-38, Definitions and Dividend Policy.

(a) This adjustment removes Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, Blackstone’s initial public offering, and non-recurring gains, losses, or other charges, if any. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs, gains or losses associated with these corporate actions, and non-recurring gains, losses or other charges that affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of Blackstone’s operational performance.

(b) This adjustment removes the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation.

(c) This adjustment reverses the effect of consolidating Blackstone Funds, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. This adjustment includes the elimination of Blackstone’s interest in these funds and the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated operating partnerships held by non-controlling interests.

(d) This adjustment removes Unrealized Performance Revenues on a segment basis. The Segment Adjustment represents the add back of performance revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.

This analysis reconciles the components of Total Segment Distributable Earnings (page 3) to their equivalent GAAP measures, reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations (page 26). Segment basis presents revenues and expenses on a basis that deconsolidates the investment funds Blackstone manages and excludes the amortization of intangibles, the expense of equity-based awards and Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items.

(a) Represents (1) the add back of net management fees earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of revenue from the reimbursement of certain expenses by the Blackstone Funds, which are presented gross under GAAP but netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in the Total Segment measures.

(b) Represents the add back of Performance Revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c) Represents the removal of Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items that are not recorded in the Total Segment measures.

(d) Represents the (1) removal of amortization of transaction-related intangibles, (2) removal of certain expenses reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds, which are presented gross under GAAP but netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in the Total Segment measures, and (3) a reduction equal to an administrative fee collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units which is accounted for as a capital contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in Blackstone’s segment presentation.

(e) Fee related performance compensation may include equity based compensation based on fee related performance revenues.

(f) Represents (1) the add back of Principal Investment Income, including general partner income, earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated operating partnerships held by non-controlling interests.

(g) Represents (1) the add back of Interest and Dividend Revenue earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.

NOTES

 Notes to page 4 - Investment Performance and Net Accrued Performance Revenues

§ The changes in carrying value, fund returns and composite returns presented throughout this presentation represent those of the applicable
Blackstone Funds and not those of Blackstone.

§ Core+ appreciation represents a weighted average of BREIT’s per share appreciation, BEPIF’s per share appreciation, and BPP’s appreciation for
the period. The returns are weighted based on the average of BREIT’s monthly net asset values, BEPIF’s monthly net asset values, and the
average of BPP’s quarterly adjusted beginning period market values for the period.

§ Results for the Secondaries business (also referred to as Strategic Partners) are reported on a three-month lag from the Secondaries’ fund
financial statements, which generally report underlying investments on a same-quarter basis, if available. As a result, the appreciation presented
herein does not include the impact of economic and market activity in the current quarter. Current market activity is expected to affect
reported results in upcoming quarters.

§ Private Credit returns include mezzanine lending funds and middle market direct lending funds (including BXSL and BCRED), stressed/distressed
strategies (including stressed/distressed funds and credit alpha strategies) and energy strategies. Liquid Credit returns include CLOs, closed-
ended funds, open-ended funds and separately managed accounts. Only fee-earning funds exceeding $100 million of fair value at the beginning
of each respective quarter-end are included. Funds in liquidation, funds investing primarily in investment grade corporate credit and asset-based
finance are excluded. Blackstone Funds that were contributed to Blackstone Credit as part of Blackstone’s acquisition of Blackstone Credit,
formerly known as GSO, in March 2008 and the pre-acquisition date performance for funds and vehicles acquired by Blackstone Credit subsequent
to March 2008, are also excluded.

§ The BPS Composite gross and net returns are based on the BAAM Principal Solutions (“BPS”) Composite, which includes only BAAM-managed
commingled and customized multi-manager funds and accounts and does not include BAAM’s liquid solutions group, seeding, GP stakes, special
situations, and advisory (non-discretionary) platforms, except for investments by BPS funds directly into those platforms. BAAM-managed funds in
liquidation and, in the case of net returns, non fee-paying assets are also excluded. The funds/accounts that comprise the BPS Composite are not
managed within a single fund or account and are managed with different mandates. There is no guarantee that BAAM would have made the same
mix of investments in a stand-alone fund/account. The BPS Composite is not an investible product and, as such, the performance of the BPS
Composite does not represent the performance of an actual fund or account.

 Notes to page 17 – Deconsolidated Balance Sheet Highlights

§ GP/Fund Investments include Blackstone investments in Real Estate, Private Equity, Credit & Insurance, and Hedge Fund Solutions, which were
$761 million, $988 million, $369 million, and $219 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2023. Cash and Net Investments per share amounts
are calculated using period end DE Shares Outstanding (see page 24, Share Summary).

NOTES – (CONT’D)

 Notes to page 23 – Shareholder Dividends

§ DE before Certain Payables represents Distributable Earnings before the deduction for the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and tax
expense (benefit) of wholly owned subsidiaries. Common shareholders receive tax benefits from deductions taken by Blackstone’s corporate tax
paying subsidiaries and bear responsibility for the deduction from Distributable Earnings of the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and
certain other tax-related payables.

§ Per Share calculations are based on end of period Participating Common Shares (page 24, Share Summary); actual dividends are paid to
shareholders as of the applicable record date.

§ Retained capital is withheld pro rata from common shareholders and Blackstone Holdings Partnership unitholders. Common shareholders’ share
was $106 million for 3Q’23 and $324 million for 3Q’23 YTD.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY

Blackstone discloses the following operating metrics and 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”) in this presentation:

§ Segment Distributable Earnings, or “Segment DE”, is Blackstone’s segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and assess
performance across Blackstone’s four segments. Segment DE represents the net realized earnings of Blackstone’s segments and is the sum of Fee
Related Earnings and Net Realizations for each segment. Blackstone’s segments are presented on a basis that deconsolidates Blackstone Funds,
eliminates non-controlling ownership interests in Blackstone’s consolidated operating partnerships, removes the amortization of intangible assets
and removes Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items. Segment DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but
not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

– Net Realizations is presented on a segment basis and is the sum of Realized Principal Investment Income and Realized Performance
Revenues (which refers to Realized Performance Revenues excluding Fee Related Performance Revenues), less Realized Performance
Compensation (which refers to Realized Performance Compensation excluding Fee Related Performance Compensation and Equity-Based
Performance Compensation).

– Segment Revenues represent Net Management and Advisory Fees, Fee Related Performance Revenues, Realized Performance Revenues and
Realized Principal Investment Income.

§ Distributable Earnings, or “DE”, is derived from Blackstone’s segment reported results. DE is used to assess performance and amounts available
for dividends to Blackstone shareholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the Blackstone Holdings
Partnerships. DE is the sum of Segment DE plus Net Interest and Dividend Income (Loss) less Taxes and Related Payables. DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

– Net Interest and Dividend Income (Loss) is presented on a segment basis and is equal to Interest and Dividend Revenue less Interest
Expense, adjusted for the impact of consolidation of Blackstone Funds, and interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.

– Taxes and Related Payables represent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on
Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and including the Payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Further, the current tax
provision utilized when calculating Taxes and Related Payables and DE reflects the benefit of deductions available to the company on certain
expense items that are excluded from the underlying calculation of Segment DE and Total Segment Distributable Earnings, such as equity-
based compensation charges and certain Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items where there is a current tax provision or benefit. The
economic assumptions and methodologies that impact the implied income tax provision are the same as those methodologies and
assumptions used in calculating the current income tax provision for Blackstone’s consolidated statements of operations under U.S. GAAP,
excluding the impact of divestitures and accrued tax contingencies and refunds which are reflected when paid or received. Management
believes that including the amount payable under the tax receivable agreement and utilizing the current income tax provision adjusted as
described above when calculating DE is meaningful as it increases comparability between periods and more accurately reflects earnings that
are available for distribution to shareholders.

§ Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”, is a performance measure used to assess Blackstone’s ability to generate profits from revenues that are
measured and received on a recurring basis and not subject to future realization events. FRE equals management and advisory fees (net of
management fee reductions and offsets) plus Fee Related Performance Revenues, less (a) Fee Related Compensation on a segment basis, and
(b) Other Operating Expenses. FRE is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of
Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

     Blackstone |  36

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY – (CONT’D)

– Fee Related Compensation is presented on a segment basis and refers to the compensation expense, excluding Equity-Based Compensation,
directly related to (a) Management and Advisory Fees, Net and (b) Fee Related Performance Revenues, referred to as Fee Related
Performance Compensation.

– Fee Related Performance Revenues refers to the realized portion of Performance Revenues from Perpetual Capital that are (a) measured
and received on a recurring basis, and (b) not dependent on realization events from the underlying investments.

– Other Operating Expenses is presented on a segment basis and is equal to General, Administrative and Other Expenses, adjusted to
(a) remove the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, (b) remove certain expenses reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds which are
netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in Blackstone’s segment presentation, and (c) give effect to an administrative fee
collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units. The administrative fee is accounted for as a
capital contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in Blackstone’s segment presentation.

– Perpetual Capital refers to the component of assets under management with an indefinite term, that is not in liquidation, and for which
there is no requirement to return capital to investors through redemption requests in the ordinary course of business, except where funded
by new capital inflows. Includes co-investment capital with an investor right to convert into Perpetual Capital.

– FRE Margin is calculated by dividing Fee Related Earnings by Fee Related Revenues (defined as the sum of Total Segment Management and Advisory Fees, Net and Fee Related Performance Revenues).

§ Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or “Adjusted EBITDA”, is a supplemental measure used to
assess performance derived from Blackstone’s segment results and may be used to assess its ability to service its borrowings. Adjusted EBITDA
represents Distributable Earnings plus the addition of (a) Interest Expense on a segment basis, (b) Taxes and Related Payables, and
(c) Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP
measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

§ Performance Revenues collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fees, and (b) Performance Allocations.

§ Performance Compensation collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fee Compensation, and (b) Performance Allocations Compensation.

– Performance Compensation reflects an increase in the aggregate Realized Performance Compensation paid to certain of our professionals
above the amounts allocable to them based upon the percentage participation in the relevant performance plans previously awarded to them
as a result of a compensation program that commenced in 2Q’21. The expectation is that for the full year 2023, Fee Related Compensation
will be decreased by the total amount of additional Performance Compensation awarded for the year. In 3Q’23 the increase to Realized
Performance Compensation was less than the decrease to Fee Related Compensation, which favorably impacted Distributable Earnings for
the quarter. On a year-to-date basis, the increase to Realized Performance Compensation was greater than the decrease to Fee Related
Compensation, which negatively impacted Distributable Earnings. These changes to Performance Compensation and Fee Related
Compensation are not expected to impact Distributable Earnings for the full year. These changes had an impact on individual quarters in
2022 but did not impact Income Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and Distributable Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022.

§ Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, Blackstone’s initial public
offering, and non-recurring gains, losses, or other charges, if any. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses
on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar
event, transaction costs, gains or losses associated with these corporate actions, and non-recurring gains, losses or other charges that affect
period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of Blackstone’s operational performance.

     Blackstone |  37

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY – (CONT’D)

Dividend Policy. Blackstone’s intention is to pay to holders of common stock a quarterly dividend representing approximately 85% of Blackstone Inc.’s
share of Distributable Earnings, subject to adjustment by amounts determined by Blackstone’s board of directors to be necessary or appropriate to
provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and funds, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt
instruments or other agreements, or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and dividends to
shareholders for any ensuing quarter. The dividend amount could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. All of the foregoing is subject to the
qualification that the declaration and payment of any dividends are at the sole discretion of Blackstone’s board of directors and our board of
directors may change our dividend policy at any time, including, without limitation, to reduce such quarterly dividends or even to eliminate such
dividends entirely.
