|27 Non-GAAP and Other Measures Accrued but Unrecognized Incentive Income (or "ABURI") is the amount of incentive income accrued at the fund level on our longer-term AUM that has not yet been recognized in our revenues. These amounts may ultimately not be recognized as revenue by us in the event of future losses in the respective funds. ABURI from longer-term AUM generally comprises the following: ▪Multi-strategy ABURI is derived from clients in the three-year liquidity tranche, where incentive income other than tax distributions will be recognized at the end of each client’s three-year period ▪ Opportunistic credit ABURI is derived from three sources: – Clients in the three-year and four-year liquidity tranches of an open-end opportunistic credit fund, where incentive income other than tax distributions will be recognized at the end of each client’s three-year or four-year period. – Long-dated closed-end opportunistic credit funds, where incentive income will be recognized during each fund’s harvest period after invested capital and a preferred return has been distributed to the clients, other than tax distributions. – The Customized Credit Focused Platform, where incentive income is recognized at the end of a multi-year term; previously crystallized on December 31, 2020, other than tax distributions. ▪ Real Estate ABURI is derived from long-dated real estate funds, where incentive income will start to be recognized following the completion of each fund’s investment period as investments are realized and after invested capital and a preferred return has been distributed to the clients other than tax distributions. ▪Certain ABURI amounts will generally have compensation expense (on an Economic Income Basis) that will reduce the amount ultimately realized on a net basis. Compensation expense relating to ABURI from our real estate funds is generally recognized at the same time the related incentive income revenue is recognized as the compensation is structured as carried interest in these vehicles. Compensation expense relating to ABURI generated from our multi-strategy funds and opportunistic credit funds is generally recognized in the fourth quarter of the year the underlying fund performance is generated which may not occur at the same time that the related revenues are generated. Adjusted Net Assets (or "ANA") include cash, cash equivalents and United States ("U.S.") government obligations, at fair value, investments in funds, including redemption receivable and excluding employee-related investments, and investment in CLOs, net of financing, reduced by principal outstanding of debt obligations. Management uses ANA as a measure of the Company’s net debt position to evaluate the Company’s liquidity and organizational health. Assets Under Management (or "AUM") refers to the assets for which we provide investment management, advisory or certain other investment-related services. Specifically: a. AUM for our multi-strategy and opportunistic credit funds is generally based on the net asset value of those funds plus any unfunded commitments, if applicable. AUM is reduced for unfunded commitments that will be funded through transfers from other funds. b. AUM for Institutional Credit Strategies is generally based on the amount of equity outstanding for CLOs and CBOs (during the warehouse period) and the par value of the collateral assets and cash held (after warehouse period). For aircraft securitization vehicles, AUM is based on the adjusted portfolio appraisal values for the aircraft collateral within the securitization. AUM is reduced for any investments in these CLOs and securitization vehicles held by our other funds. AUM also includes the net asset value of other investment vehicles within this strategy. c. AUM for our real estate funds is generally based on the amount of capital committed by our fund investors during the investment period and the amount of actual capital invested for periods following the investment period. AUM is reduced for unfunded commitments that will be funded through transfers from other funds. d. AUM for our special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) sponsored by us includes the proceeds raised in the initial public offering that are currently held in a trust for use in a business combination. AUM includes amounts that are not subject to management fees, incentive allocation or other amounts earned on AUM, including without limitation, investments by the Company, its executive managing directors, employees and certain other related parties. Our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Our calculations of AUM are not based on any definition set forth in the governing documents of the investment funds and are not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions. Notes


 
|28 Notes (contd.) Non-GAAP and Other Measures (contd.) Fee Paying Assets Under Management (or "FP AUM") refers to the AUM on which we earn management fees and/or incentive income. Longer-term AUM (or "LT AUM") is defined as AUM from investors that are subject to commitment periods of three years or longer. Investors with longer-term assets under management may have less than three years remaining in their commitment period. Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure of operating performance that equals Economic Income less amounts payable for taxes and tax receivable agreement. Economic Income excludes certain adjustments described further below that are required for presentation of the Company's results and financial positions on a GAAP basis. Payable for taxes and tax receivable agreement presents the total estimated GAAP provision for current corporate, local and foreign taxes payable, as well as the current payable under the Company’s tax receivable agreement, assuming that all Economic Income was allocated to Sculptor Capital Management, Inc., which would occur following the exchange of all interests held by current and former executive managing directors in the Sculptor Operating Group (collectively, "Partner Units") for Class A Shares. The current tax provision and current payable under the tax receivable agreement reflect the benefit of tax deductions that are excluded when calculating Distributable Earnings, such as equity-based compensation expenses, legal settlements expenses, tax goodwill and various other items impacting the Company’s taxable income. Management believes that using the estimated current tax provision and current payable under the Company’s tax receivable agreement more accurately reflect earnings that are available to be distributed to shareholders. For purposes of calculating Distributable Earnings per Share, the Company assumes that all Partner Units and Class A Restricted Share Units ("RSUs"), except for RSUs that will be settled in cash, and Class A Restricted shares (“RSAs”), subject to service condition only, have been converted on a one-to-one basis into Class A Shares and warrants are included on a treasury stock basis (collectively, "Fully Diluted Shares"). As of December 31, 2022, there were 5,348,572 Group P Units, 3,598,928 RSAs subject to both market and service conditions, and 912,500 performance-based restricted share units ("PSUs") outstanding that were excluded from the Fully Diluted Shares. Group P Units, RSAs subject to both market and service conditions, and PSUs do not participate in the economics of the Company until certain service and market-performance conditions are met; therefore, the Company will not include the Group P Units, RSAs subject to market condition, or PSUs in Fully Diluted Shares until such market-performance conditions are met. As of December 31, 2022, the market-performance conditions for outstanding instruments had not yet been met. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to the Net Loss (Income) Attributable to Class A Shareholders. You are encouraged to evaluate each of these adjustments and the reasons the Company considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating the Company's non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentations. The Company's non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management uses Economic Income, Distributable Earnings, and Distributable Earnings per Share among other financial information, as the basis on which it evaluates the financial performance of the Company and makes operating decisions, as well as to determine the earnings available to distribute as dividends to holders of the Company's Class A Shares and to the Company's executive managing directors. Management considers it important that investors review the same operating information that it uses. These measures are presented to provide a more comparable view of the Company's operating results year-over-year and the Company believes that providing these measures on a supplemental basis to the Company's GAAP results is helpful to shareholders in assessing the overall performance of the Company's business. Distribution Holiday refers to the distribution holiday (the “Distribution Holiday”) initiated by the Sculptor Operating Partnerships on the Group A Units, Group E Units and Group P Units and on certain RSUs and RSAs that will terminate on the earlier of (x) 45 days after the last day of the first calendar quarter as of which the achievement of $600.0 million of Distribution Holiday Economic Income is realized and (y) April 1, 2026. Holders of Group A Units, Group E Units and Group P Units and certain RSUs and RSAs, do not receive distributions during the Distribution Holiday.


 
|29 Notes (contd.) Non-GAAP and Other Measures (contd.) Distribution Holiday Economic Income is the cumulative amount of Economic Income earned since October 1, 2018, less any dividends paid to Class A Shareholders or on the now-retired Preferred Units. Distribution Holiday Economic Income is a non-GAAP measure that is defined in the agreements of limited partnership of the Sculptor Operating Partnerships and is being presented to provide an update on the progress made toward the $600.0 million target required to exit the Distribution Holiday. Economic Income is a measure of pre-tax operating performance that excludes the following from our results on a GAAP basis: • Equity-based compensation expenses, net of cash settled RSUs. When the number of RSUs to be settled in cash is discretionary at the time of the grant, then the fair value of RSUs that are settled in cash is included as an expense at the time of settlement. When the number of RSUs to be settled in cash is certain on the grant date, then the expense is recognized during the performance period to which the award relates. • Amounts related to non-cash interest expense accretion on term debt. Management excludes this non-cash expense from Economic Income, as it does not consider it to be reflective of our economic borrowing costs. • Depreciation and amortization expenses, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, net losses on retirement of debt, gains and losses on fixed assets, and gains and losses on investments in funds, as management does not consider these items to be reflective of operating performance. • Impairment of right-of-use lease assets is excluded from Economic Income at the time the impairment is recognized for GAAP and the impact is then amortized over the lease term for Economic Income, as management evaluates impairment expenses over the life of the related lease asset and considers the impairment charge to be nonrecurring in nature. Additionally, rent expense is offset by subrental income as management evaluates rent expenses on a net basis. • Income allocations to our executive managing directors on their direct interests in the Sculptor Operating Group. Management reviews operating performance at the Sculptor Operating Group level, where our operations are performed, prior to making any income allocations. • Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, which relates to our consolidated SPAC, is also eliminated as management does not consider this to be reflective of operating performance. • Amounts related to the consolidated entities, as management does not consider these amounts to be representative of our core operating performance. We also exclude the related eliminations of management fees and incentive income, as management reviews the total amount of management fees and incentive income earned in relation to total AUM and fund performance. Additionally, management fees are presented net of recurring placement and related service fees, as management considers these fees a reduction in management fees, not an expense. Expenses related to incentive income profit-sharing arrangements are generally recognized at the same time the related incentive income revenue is recognized, as management reviews the compensation expense related to these arrangements in relation to any incentive income earned from the relevant fund. Further, for Economic Income deferred cash compensation is expensed in full during the performance period to which the award relates, rather than over the service period for GAAP, as management views the compensation expense impact in relation to the performance period. As a result of the adjustments described above, management fees, incentive income, other revenues, compensation and benefits, interest expense, general, administrative and other expenses, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests as presented on an Economic Income basis are also non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to our GAAP net income allocated to Class A Shareholders or cash flow from operations, or as indicative of liquidity or the cash available to fund operations. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.


 
|30 Footnotes to Non-GAAP Reconciliations: (1) Adjustment to present management fees net of recurring placement and related service fees, as management considers these fees a reduction in management fees, not an expense. (2) Adjustment to exclude the related eliminations of management fees and incentive income, as management reviews the total amount of management fees and incentive income earned in relation to total AUM and fund performance. (3) Adjustment to offset rent expense by subrental income as management evaluates rent expense on a net basis. (4) Adjustment to exclude equity-based compensation, net of cash settled RSUs. When the number of RSUs to be settled in cash is discretionary at the time of the grant, then the fair value of RSUs that are settled in cash is included as an expense at the time of settlement. When the number of RSUs to be settled in cash is certain on the grant date, then the expense is recognized during the performance period to which the award relates. In addition, expenses related to incentive income profit-sharing arrangements are generally recognized at the same time the related incentive income revenue is recognized, as management reviews the total compensation expense related to these arrangements in relation to any incentive income earned from the relevant fund. For Economic income deferred cash compensation is expensed in full during the performance period to which the award relates to, rather than over the service period for GAAP as management views the compensation expense impact in relation to the performance period. (5) Adjustment to exclude amounts related to non-cash interest expense accretion on debt. The 2020 Term Loan and the Debt Securities, which were issued in connection with the Recapitalization, were each recognized at a significant discount, as proceeds from each borrowing were allocated to warrant liabilities and the 2019 Preferred Units, respectively, resulting in non-cash accretion to par over time through interest expense for GAAP. The Debt Securities and the 2019 Preferred Units were fully redeemed in 2020. Management excludes this non-cash expense from Economic Income, as it does not consider it to be reflective of our economic borrowing costs. (6) Adjustment to exclude depreciation, amortization, and losses on fixed assets, as management does not consider these items to be reflective of our operating performance. Impairment of right-of-use lease assets is excluded from Economic Income at the time the impairment is recognized for GAAP and the impact is then amortized over the lease term for Economic Income, as management evaluates impairment expenses over the life of the related lease asset and considers the impairment charge to be nonrecurring in nature. Additionally, rent expense is offset by subrental income as management evaluates rent expenses on a net basis. Further, recurring placement and related service fees are excluded, as management considers these fees a reduction in management fees, not an expense. (7) Adjustment to include short-term receivables from funds included within other assets on the GAAP balance sheet for which the Company has redeemed its investment and will receive cash as management considers these items to be reflective of our Adjusted Net Assets. The amount shown for December 31, 2022 excludes $26.3 million related to a redemption receivable for investments in funds made on behalf of certain employees and executive managing directors, which management does not consider to be reflective of our Adjusted Net Assets, as noted below. (8) Adjustment to exclude investments in funds made on behalf of certain employees and executive managing directors, including deferred compensation arrangements as management does not consider these items to be reflective of our Adjusted Net Assets. (9) Adjustment to reduce the investments in CLOs by related financing, including CLO investments loans and principal outstanding on securities sold under agreements to repurchase as management evaluates these investments on a net basis. (10) Represents principal outstanding of the debt obligations as management evaluates these obligations on a gross basis for liquidity needs. Notes (contd.)


 
|31 Footnotes to Fund Information (a) Past performance is not indicative of future results. The return information reflected in these tables represents, where applicable, the composite performance of all feeder funds that comprise each of the master funds presented. Gross return information is generally calculated using the total return of all feeder funds, net of all fees and expenses except management fees of such feeder funds and master funds and incentive income allocated to the general partner of the funds, and the returns of each feeder fund include the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. Net return information is generally calculated as the gross returns less management fees and incentive income allocated to the general partner of the funds. Return information that includes investments in certain funds that the Company, as investment manager, determines lack a readily ascertainable fair value, are illiquid or should be held until the resolution of a special event or circumstance ("Special Investments") excludes incentive income allocated to the general partner of the funds on unrealized gains attributable to such investments, which could reduce returns on these investments at the time of realization. Special Investments and initial public offering investments are not allocated to all investors in the funds, and investors that were not allocated Special Investments and initial public offering investments may experience materially different returns. The performance calculation for the Sculptor Master Fund excludes realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to currency hedging specific to certain investors investing in Sculptor Master Fund in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. (b) The returns for the Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund exclude Special Investments. Special Investments in the Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund are held by investors representing a small percentage of AUM in the fund. Inclusive of these Special Investments, the returns of the Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund for year ended December 31, 2022 were -2.9% gross and -3.8% net, for year ended December 31, 2021 were 22.3% gross and 17.3%, and annualized since inception through December 31, 2022 were 12.2% gross and 8.6% net. (c) Source: Bloomberg, HFRX. The comparison shows the returns of the ICE BofAML Global High Yield Index (HW00) and HFRX Fixed Income Credit Index (HFRXFIC) (the “Broader Market Indices”) against Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund. The HFRXFIC returns are presented net of fees of the constituent funds. The comparisons are intended solely for illustrative purposes to show a historical comparison of the Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund to the broader credit markets, as represented by the Broader Market Indices, and should not be considered as an indication of how Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund will perform relative to the Index in the future. There can be no assurance any such trends would persist in the future. Assets and securities contained within the Broader Market Indices are different than the assets held in Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund and will therefore have different risk and reward profiles. (d) The annualized returns since inception are those of the Sculptor Multi-Strategy Composite, which represents the composite performance of all accounts that were managed in accordance with the Company's broad multi-strategy mandate that were not subject to portfolio investment restrictions or other factors that limited the Company's investment discretion since inception on April 1, 1994. Performance is calculated using the total return of all such accounts net of all investment fees and expenses of such accounts, and the returns include the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. The performance calculation for the Sculptor Master Fund excludes realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to currency hedging specific to certain investors investing in Sculptor Master Fund in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. For the period from April 1, 1994 through December 31, 1997, the returns are gross of certain overhead expenses that were reimbursed by the accounts. Such reimbursement arrangements were terminated at the inception of the Sculptor Master Fund on January 1, 1998. The size of the accounts comprising the composite during the time period shown vary materially. Such differences impacted the Company's investment decisions and the diversity of the investment strategies followed. Furthermore, the composition of the investment strategies the Company follows is subject to its discretion, has varied materially since inception and is expected to vary materially in the future. The returns for the Sculptor Master Fund exclude Special Investments. Special Investments in the Sculptor Master Fund are held by investors representing a small percentage of AUM in the fund. Inclusive of these Special Investments, the returns of the Sculptor Master Fund for year ended December 31, 2022 were -12.0% gross and -13.3% net, for year ended December 31, 2021 were 8.5% gross and 5.7% net, and annualized since inception through December 31, 2022 were 15.1% gross and 10.4% net. As of December 31, 2022, the annualized returns since the Sculptor Master Fund’s inception on January 1, 1998 were 12.2% gross and 8.1% net excluding Special Investments and 11.9% gross and 7.9% net inclusive of Special Investments. Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the risk-adjusted return of the Fund, or benchmark, as applicable. The Sharpe Ratio is calculated by subtracting the annualized risk-free rate from the annualized portfolio return, and dividing that amount by the standard deviation of the portfolio's monthly returns in excess of the risk-free rate. The risk-free rate of return used in computing the Sharpe Ratio is the 1-month LIBOR compounded monthly throughout the periods presented. Notes (contd.)

This comparison is intended solely for illustrative purposes to show a historical comparison of the Master Fund Composite to the broader markets, as represented by the Broader Market Indices, and should not be considered as an indication of how Sculptor Master Fund or the Feeder Funds will perform relative to the Broader Market Indices in the future. There can be no assurance any such trends would persist in the future. Assets and securities contained within the Broader Market Indices are different than the assets held in the Master Fund Composite and will therefore have different risk and reward profiles. (f) Gross IRR for the Company's real estate funds represents the estimated, unaudited, annualized return based on the timing of cash inflows and outflows for the aggregated investments as of December 31, 2022, including the fair value of unrealized and partially realized investments as of such date, together with any unrealized appreciation or depreciation from related hedging activity. Gross IRR is not adjusted for estimated management fees, incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund or other fees or expenses to be paid by the fund, which would reduce the return. (g) Net IRR is calculated as described in footnotes (f) and (l), but is reduced by management fees and for the real estate funds other fund-level fees and expenses not adjusted for in the calculation of gross IRR. Net IRR is further reduced by accrued and paid incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund, which will be payable upon the distribution of each fund's capital in accordance with the terms of the relevant fund. Accrued incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund may be higher or lower at such time. The net IRR represents a composite rate of return for a fund and does not reflect the net IRR specific to any individual investor. (h) Includes transfers between Sculptor funds. (i) Appreciation (depreciation) reflects the aggregate net capital appreciation (depreciation) for the entire period and is presented on a total return basis, net of all fees and expenses (except incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund on unrealized Special Investments), and includes the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. Management fees and incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund vary by product. (j) Includes the effects of changes in the par value of the underlying collateral of the CLOs, foreign currency translation changes in the measurement of AUM of our European CLOs and other funds, and changes in the portfolio appraisal value for aircraft securitization vehicles. For FP AUM, this also includes movements in or out of FP AUM. (k) Represents funded capital commitments net of recallable distribution to investors. (l) Gross internal rate of return ("IRR") for the Company's closed-end opportunistic credit funds represents the estimated, unaudited, annualized return based on the timing of cash inflows and outflows for the fund as of December 31, 2022, including the fair value of unrealized investments as of such date, together with any appreciation or depreciation from related hedging activity. Gross IRR does not include the effects of management fees or incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund, which would reduce the return, and includes the reinvestment of all fund income. (m) Gross multiple of invested capital ("MOIC") for the Company's closed-end opportunistic credit funds is calculated by dividing the sum of the net asset value of the fund, accrued incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund, life-to-date incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund and management fees paid and any non-recallable distributions made from the fund by the invested capital. (n) These funds have concluded their investment periods, and therefore the Company expects AUM for these funds to decrease as investments are sold and the related proceeds are distributed to the investors in these funds. (o) An investment is considered partially realized when the total amount of proceeds received, including dividends, interest or other distributions of income and return of capital, represents at least 50% of invested capital. (p) Invested capital represents total aggregate contributions made for investments by the fund. Notes (contd.)


 
|33 Footnotes to Fund Information (q) Total value represents the sum of realized distributions and the fair value of unrealized and partially realized investments as of December 31, 2022. Total value will be impacted (either positively or negatively) by future economic and other factors. Accordingly the total value ultimately realized will likely be higher or lower than the amounts presented as of December 31, 2022. (r) Gross MOIC for the Company's real estate funds is calculated by dividing the value of a fund's investments by the invested capital, prior to adjustments for incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund, management fees or other expenses to be paid by the fund. (s) This fund has invested less than half of its committed capital or is in the first year of deployment; therefore, IRR and MOIC information is not presented, as it is not meaningful. (t) Customized Credit Focused Platform - Footnotes Weighted Average Returns: Weighted Average Returns reflect the total profit & loss divided by the weighted average capital base for the period. Gross IRR represents estimated, unaudited, annualized pre-tax returns based on the timing of cash inflows and outflows from contributions into and distributions from the Platform to its fee paying investors (excluding management fees incurred by the Platform and incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund). Net IRR is the gross IRR adjusted to reflect actual management fees incurred by the Platform and incentive income allocated to the general partner of the fund. Net Invested Capital Multiple: Given the Platform has an active liquid investment program, a key element of which includes ramping up and ramping down depending on market conditions - much of which has recently been deployed - this is a multiple measuring the current net asset value over the Net Invested Capital, where Net Invested Capital represents cumulative contributions less cumulative distributions.
