Adjustments to performance fees and investment income (loss) relate to (i) amounts earned from the Consolidated Funds, which were eliminated in the U.S. GAAP consolidation but were included in the segment results, (ii) amounts attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidated entities, which were excluded from the segment results and (iii) the reclassification of NGP X performance fees, which are included in investment income in U.S. GAAP financial statements. Adjustments to investment income (loss) also include the reclassification of earnings for the investments in NGP Management and its affiliates to the appropriate operating captions for the segment results, the exclusion of charges associated with the investment in NGP Management and its affiliates that are excluded from the segment results, and adjustments to reflect the Partnership’s share of Urbplan’s net losses as investment losses for the segment results. Adjustments to performance fee related compensation expense relate to certain tax expenses associated with performance fee compensation. Adjustments are also included in these financial statement captions to reflect the Partnership’s 55% economic interest in each of Claren Road, ESG, and, for periods prior to July 1, 2015, Carlyle Commodity Management. Effective for periods beginning on and after July 1, 2015, adjustments are included to reflect the Partnership's approximate 83% economic interest in Carlyle Commodity Management.
