New U.S. GAAP Guidance for Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, Carlyle adopted new U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance and implemented a change in accounting principle related to performance allocations (commonly known as “performance fees” or “carried interest”). This resulted in no material change to Carlyle’s GAAP or non-GAAP earnings. In connection with the adoption and change in accounting principle, Carlyle now accounts for performance allocations under the GAAP guidance for equity method investments, presents performance allocations as a component of investment income, and presents certain incentive fee arrangements separately in our results. All prior periods have been conformed for these changes.

Distributions

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.27 per common unit to holders of record at the close of business on May 11, 2018, payable on May 17, 2018.

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.367188 per preferred unit to preferred unitholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2018, payable on June 15, 2018.

Distribution Policy

It is Carlyle’s intention to cause Carlyle Holdings to make quarterly distributions to its partners, including The Carlyle Group L.P.’s wholly owned subsidiaries, that will enable The Carlyle Group L.P. to pay a quarterly distribution of approximately 75% of Distributable Earnings Attributable to Common Unitholders for the quarter. Carlyle’s general partner may adjust the distribution for amounts determined to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and its funds or to comply with applicable law or any of its financing agreements, or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and distributions to unitholders for any ensuing quarter. The amount to be distributed could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. The declaration and payment of any distributions is at the sole discretion of Carlyle’s general partner, which may change or eliminate the distribution policy at any time.

* Amounts included in "Incentive fees" and "Investment income, including performance allocations" have been reclassified in accordance with our adoption of ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and our change in accounting principle related to performance allocations (commonly known as "performance fees" or "carried interest") implemented on January 1, 2018.

Income before provision for income taxes⁽¹⁾ was $126 million for Q1 2018, compared to $328 million for Q1 2017. The decrease in income before provision for income taxes in Q1 2018 compared to Q1 2017 was primarily due to a $201 million decrease in investment income, including performance allocations, net of performance allocations and incentive fee related compensation.

Net income attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P.Common Unitholders was $34 million, or $0.30 per common unit on a diluted basis for Q1 2018, compared to $83 million, or $0.90 per common unit on a diluted basis for Q1 2017.

(1) Income before provision for income taxes is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to both Economic Income (EI) and Distributable Earnings, both of which management uses to measure the performance of the business.  In most periods, income before provision for income taxes will be lower than EI principally due to excluding from EI equity compensation from awards issued in conjunction with the initial public offering, acquisitions and strategic investments, as well as other acquisition-related charges, including amortization of intangibles and impairment, corporate actions, and infrequently occurring or unusual events.  In periods of positive earnings, net income attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. Common Unitholders typically will be lower than EI as net income attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. Common Unitholders only includes the portion of earnings (approximately 30% before taxes as of March 31, 2018) that is attributable to the public unitholders whereas the calculation of EI reflects the adjusted earnings attributable to all unitholders.  A full reconciliation is included on page 34. See "Non-GAAP Financial Information and Other Key Terms" for additional information.

Carry Fund Appreciation and Net Accrued Performance Revenues

Carlyle's carry fund portfolio appreciated 3% during Q1 2018 and 17% over the past twelve months. Carlyle's private carry fund portfolio appreciated 4% and the public carry fund portfolio remained flat during Q1 2018, in both cases excluding Investment Solutions. As of March 31, public positions accounted for 14% of remaining fair value in our Corporate Private Equity, Real Assets and Global Credit carry funds. Carry fund valuations for Q1 2018 were positively impacted by strength in our Europe Buyout (CEP III and IV), U.S. Buyout (CP V and VI), Europe Technology (CETP III), and in U.S. Real Estate (CRP VII) and in the NGP Energy (NGP XI) funds, among others. Funds with high concentrations of public positions negatively impacted overall portfolio performance. The Net Accrued Performance Revenues balance increased 4% during the quarter to $1.8 billion, and increased 25% over the LTM.

Note: The sum of quarters may not equal LTM.

(1) Appreciation/(Depreciation) represents unrealized gain/(loss) for the period on a total return basis before fees and expenses. The percentage of return is calculated as: ending remaining investment fair market value plus net investment outflow (sales proceeds minus net purchases) minus beginning remaining investment fair market value divided by beginning remaining investment fair market value. Fund only, does not include co-investment.

(2) We generally earn performance revenues from our carry funds representing a 20% allocation of profits generated on third-party capital, and on which the general partner receives a special residual allocation of income from limited partners, which we refer to as performance allocations, or carried interest, in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund. Disclosures referring to carry funds also include the impact of certain commitments that do not earn carried interest, but are either part of, or associated with our carry funds. The rate of carried interest, as well as the share of carried interest allocated to Carlyle, may vary across the carry fund platform. See "Non-GAAP Financial Information and Other Key Terms" for more information.

(3) Natural Resources is comprised of NGP, infrastructure, power and international energy funds.

(4) Other primarily reflects the impact of foreign exchange translation.

Carlyle All Segment Results

• Economic Income was $169 million in Q1 2018, driven by 3% carry fund appreciation in the quarter. Economic Income for the LTM of $1.0 billion increased 68% compared to the prior LTM, supported by 17% appreciation in our carry funds.

• Distributable Earnings of $139 million in Q1 2018 were more than double Q1 2017, and included $28 million in Fee Related Earnings and $103 million in realized net performance revenues. We expect full year 2018 realized net performance revenues to be lower than full year 2017. DE per common unit was $0.36 for Q1 2018.

• Fee Related Earnings were $28 million in Q1 2018. Q1 2018 management fees of $288 million increased 12% versus Q1 2017 as Fee Earning Assets Under Management increased. Q1 2018 fundraising expenses were $19 million compared to $7 million in Q1 2017, and are included in indirect compensation expense for our internal costs and in general and administrative expenses for our external costs.

• Total Assets Under Management (“AUM”) of $201.5 billion increased 24% compared to Q1 2017 through a combination of $48.0 billion in fundraising and $15.4 billion in market appreciation, partially offset by $28.0 billion in realized proceeds to fund investors.

• Fee-Earning AUM of $125.8 billion increased 9% from Q1 2017. As of Q1 2018, there was $27.1 billion in pending Fee-Earning AUM that will turn on fees either through the activation of the underlying fund or additional capital deployment.

Corporate Private Equity (CPE)

• Corporate Private Equity carry funds appreciated 4% in the quarter, driving Net Performance Revenues of $136 million.

• Economic Income was $114 million in Q1 2018 and $696 million for the LTM, an increase of 37% over the prior LTM.

• Fee Related Earnings were $(13) million in Q1 2018, with the loss primarily attributable to an increase in compensation costs in advance of the activation of management fees on $22 billion in pending Fee Earning Assets Under Management. We expect to activate fees on our latest vintage U.S. Buyout fund (CP VII) later in Q2 2018, and fees on our latest vintage Asia Buyout fund (CAP V) in the second half of 2018. In addition, there were $9 million of fundraising expenses in Q1 2018 that impacted results, compared to $1 million in Q1 2017.

• Distributable Earnings of $87 million in Q1 2018 reflected $97 million in Realized Net Performance Revenues, $8 million in Realized Principal Investment Income and the $(13) million loss in Fee Related Earnings. Realizations of $2.7 billion in Q1 2018 were more than double the level in Q1 2017. Realized Net Performance Revenues of $97 million increased versus Q1 2017 on a higher level of realizations.

• Invested $0.7 billion in Q1 2018 into 15 new and follow-on investments. As of the end of Q1 2018, CPE had announced $4.6 billion of new investments that are expected to close over the next few quarters. During the first quarter, notable new completed transactions in CPE included DiscoverOrg (CP VI) and CFGI (FIG III).

• Assets Under Management reached a record $75.0 billion and increased 42% compared to Q1 2017, positively impacted by $24.3 billion in fundraising, $8.5 billion in market appreciation, and partially offset by $12.7 billion in realized proceeds.

Real Assets

• Real Assets carry funds appreciated 2% in the quarter, driving Net Performance Revenues of $11 million.

• Economic Income was $31 million in Q1 2018 and $187 million for the LTM, driven by strong appreciation as well as growth in Fee Related Earnings. During the quarter, recent vintage U.S. Real Estate funds posted solid performance, while older vintage funds with exposure to public markets depreciated. Our latest vintage International Energy and the NGP energy carry funds both posted strong appreciation in Q1 2018.

• Fee Related Earnings were $24 million in Q1 2018, nearly triple the $9 million in Q1 2017 as Fund Management Fees increased 33% due to new capital raised, primarily in the latest vintage U.S. Real Estate and NGP carry funds.

• Distributable Earnings were $33 million in Q1 2018 and $54 million in the LTM. Realized Net Performance Revenues were $4 million in Q1 2018. While realized proceeds of $1.1 billion in Q1 2018 were higher than $0.6 billion in the prior year, we did not realize carry on exits in several newer vintage carry funds.

• Invested $1.9 billion in the quarter, more than double the amount of Q1 2017. During Q1 2018, Natural Resources invested a record $1.4 billion while Real Estate invested $0.5 billion.

• Assets Under Management of $44.0 billion increased 24% compared to Q1 2017, largely driven by $10.5 billion in fundraising and $2.9 billion in market appreciation, partially offset by $5.0 billion in realized proceeds. Fundraising of $1.3 billion in Q1 2018 included closes in the latest vintage NGP carry fund and co-investment vehicle, U.S. Real Estate carry funds and the new European Real Estate carry fund.

• Economic Income was $16 million in Q1 2018 and $56 million for the LTM. Fund appreciation drove record quarterly Net Performance Revenues of $11 million in Q1 2018. Net accrued performance revenue of $87 million increased 85% compared to Q1 2017 due to strong underlying fund performance as well as an increasing share of AlpInvest performance revenues that are now accruing to Carlyle's benefit as funds launched since our acquisition of AlpInvest in 2011 are increasingly moving into accrued carry.

• Fee Related Earnings were $8 million in Q1 2018 and were $31 million over the LTM. Fund Management Fees in Q1 2018 increased 13% as Fee-Earning AUM increased 16% compared to Q1 2017.

• Distributable Earnings were $9 million in Q1 2018 and $31 million for the LTM, with LTM Distributable Earnings up 21% compared to the prior LTM.

• Invested $1.0 billion in Investment Solutions carry funds during Q1 2018, slightly higher than Q1 2017.

• Assets Under Management of $48.7 billion increased 11% compared to Q1 2017, largely attributable to $6.1 billion in fundraising, $3.9 billion in market appreciation and $4.8 billion from the positive impact of foreign exchange, and partially offset by $9.5 billion in realized proceeds. First quarter fundraising of $1.7 billion included closings in AlpInvest's primary and secondary funds and vehicles, and new commitments to Metropolitan Real Estate's primary and secondary funds vehicles. Fee-Earning AUM of $30.5 billion was up 16% compared to Q1 2017.

(1) New Commitments reflects the impact of gross fundraising during the period. For funds or vehicles denominated in foreign currencies, this reflects translation at the average quarterly rate, while the separately reported Fundraising metric is translated at the spot rate for each individual closing.

(2) Outflows includes distributions in our carry funds and related co-investment vehicles, the NGP management fee funds and separately managed accounts, as well as runoff of CLO collateral balances.

(3) Market Appreciation/(Depreciation) generally represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds and related co-investment vehicles, the NGP management fee funds and separately managed accounts.

(4) Represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds. Activity during the period is translated at the average rate for the period. Ending balances are translated at the spot rate as of the period end.

(5) Includes expiring available capital, the impact of capital calls for fees and expenses, change in gross asset value for our business development companies and other changes in AUM.

(6) The fair market values for our Investment Solutions carry funds are based on the latest available valuations of the underlying limited partnership interests (in most cases as of December 31, 2017) as provided by their general partners, plus the net cash flows since the latest valuation, up to March 31, 2018.

(1) Inflows represent limited partner capital raised and capital invested by our carry funds and the NGP management fee funds outside the investment period, weighted-average investment period or commitment fee period. Inflows do not include funds raised of $27 billion, which are not yet earning fees.

(2) Outflows represent limited partner distributions from our carry funds and the NGP management fee funds, changes in basis for our carry funds where the investment period, weighted-average investment period or commitment fee period has expired, and reductions for funds that are no longer calling for fees.

(3) Represents the change in the aggregate Fee-earning collateral balances at par of our CLOs/structured products, as of the quarterly cut-off dates.

(4) Market Appreciation/(Depreciation) represents changes in the net asset value of our hedge funds and fund of hedge funds vehicles, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds based on the lower of cost or fair value and net asset value.

(5) Includes activity of funds with fees based on gross asset value. Represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds. Activity during the period is translated at the average rate for the period. Ending balances are translated at the spot rate as of the period end.

(6) Energy II, Energy III, Energy IV, and Renew II (collectively, the “Legacy Energy Funds”), are managed with Riverstone Holdings LLC and its affiliates. Affiliates of both Carlyle and Riverstone act as investment advisers to each of the Legacy Energy Funds. Carlyle has a minority representation on the management committees of Energy IV and Renew II. Carlyle and Riverstone each hold half of the seats on the management committees of Energy II and Energy III, but the investment period for these funds has expired and the remaining investments in such funds are being disposed of in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2018, the Legacy Energy Funds had, in the aggregate, approximately $5.0 billion in AUM and $3.7 billion in Fee-Earning AUM. NGP VII, NGP VIII, NGP IX, or in the case of NGP M&R, NGP ETP I, and NGP ETP II, certain affiliated entities (collectively, the “NGP management fee funds”) and NGP X, NGP GAP, NGP XI, and NGP XII (referred to herein as, "carry funds"), are managed by NGP Energy Capital Management. As of March 31, 2018, the NGP management fee funds and carry funds had, in the aggregate, approximately $13.4 billion in AUM and $11.2 billion in Fee-Earning AUM.

(1) The data presented herein that provides “inception to date” performance results of our segments relates to the period following the formation of the first fund within each segment. For our Corporate Private Equity segment our first fund was formed in 1990. For our Real Assets segment our first fund was formed in 1997.

(2) Represents the original cost of all capital called for investments since inception of the fund.

(3) Represents all realized proceeds combined with remaining fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(4) Multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) represents total fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by cumulative invested capital.

(5) An investment is considered realized when the investment fund has completely exited, and ceases to own an interest in, the investment. An investment is considered partially realized when the total amount of proceeds received in respect of such investment, including dividends, interest or other distributions and/or return of capital, represents at least 85% of invested capital and such investment is not yet fully realized. Because part of our value creation strategy involves pursuing best exit alternatives, we believe information regarding Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR, when considered together with the other investment performance metrics presented, provides investors with meaningful information regarding our investment performance by removing the impact of investments where significant realization activity has not yet occurred. Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR have limitations as measures of investment performance, and should not be considered in isolation. Such limitations include the fact that these measures do not include the performance of earlier stage and other investments that do not satisfy the criteria provided above. The exclusion of such investments will have a positive impact on Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR in instances when the MOIC and Gross IRR in respect of such investments are less than the aggregate MOIC and

Gross IRR. Our measurements of Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR may not be comparable to those of other companies that use similarly titled measures. We do not present Realized/Partially Realized performance information separately for funds that are still in the investment period because of the relatively insignificant level of realizations for funds of this type. However, to the extent such funds have had realizations, they are included in the Realized/Partially Realized performance information presented for Total Corporate Private Equity and Total Real Assets.

(6) Fully Invested funds are past the expiration date of the investment period as defined in the respective limited partnership agreement. In instances where a successor fund has had its first capital call, the predecessor fund is categorized as fully invested.

(7) Gross Internal Rate of Return (“Gross IRR”) represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on contributions, distributions and unrealized value before management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(8) Net Internal Rate of Return (“Net IRR”) represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on contributions, distributions and unrealized value after management fees, expenses and carried interest. Fund level IRRs are based on aggregate Limited Partner cash flows, and this blended return may differ from that of individual Limited Partners. As a result, certain funds may generate accrued performance revenues with a blended Net IRR that is below the preferred return hurdle for that fund.

(9) Aggregate includes the following funds: CP I, CMG, CVP I, CVP II, CUSGF III, CEVP, CETP I, CAVP I, CAVP II, CAGP III, CSABF, Mexico, CBPF, and MENA.

(10) Includes coinvestments and certain other stand-alone investments arranged by us.

(11) Aggregate, which is considered not meaningful, includes the following funds and their respective commencement dates: CSSAF (April 2012) , CPF I (June 2012), CCI (December 2012), CETP III (May 2014), CAGP V (May 2016), CGFSP III (June 2017), and CBPF II (November 2017).

(12) For funds marked “NM,” IRR may be positive or negative, but is not considered meaningful because of the limited time since initial investment and early stage of capital deployment. For funds marked “Neg,” IRR is negative as of reporting period end.

(13) For purposes of aggregation, funds that report in foreign currency have been converted to U.S. dollars at the reporting period spot rate.

(14) Aggregate includes the following funds: CRP I, CRP II, CAREP I, CAREP II, CRCP I, CPOCP, Renew I and Energy I.

(15) Aggregate includes NGP GAP, CCR, and CER. Return is not considered meaningful, as the investment period commenced in December 2013 for NGP GAP, October 2016 for CCR, and December 2017 for CER.

(16) Aggregate includes the following funds: CMP I, CMP II, CSP I, and CASCOF.

(17) Represents the original cost of investments net of investment level recallable proceeds which is adjusted to reflect recyclability of invested capital for the purpose of calculating the fund MOIC.

(18) Fully Committed funds are past the expiration date of the commitment period as defined in the respective limited partnership agreement.

(19) Includes private equity and mezzanine primary fund investments, secondary fund investments and co-investments originated by the AlpInvest team, as well as real estate primary fund investments, secondary fund investments and co-investments originated by the Metropolitan Real Estate team. Excluded from the performance information shown are a) investments that were not originated by AlpInvest, and b) Direct Investments, which was spun off from AlpInvest in 2005. As of March 31, 2018, these excluded investments represent $0.2 billion of AUM at AlpInvest.

(20) To exclude the impact of FX, all AlpInvest foreign currency cash flows have been converted to Euro at the reporting period spot rate.

(21) Gross Internal Rate of Return ("Gross IRR") represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on investment contributions, distributions and unrealized value of the underlying investments, before management fees, expenses and carried interest at the AlpInvest/Metropolitan Real Estate level.

(22) Aggregate includes Main Fund VII - Fund Investments, Main Fund VIII - Fund Investments, Main Fund I - Co-Investments, Main Fund I - Mezzanine Investments, Main Fund IV - Mezzanine Investments, Main Fund V - Mezzanine Investments, AlpInvest CleanTech Funds and funds which are not included as part of a main fund.

(23) Represents the U.S. dollar equivalent balance translated at the spot rate as of period end.

Remaining Fair Value Analysis, Notes

(1) Remaining Fair Value reflects the unrealized carrying value of investments for Corporate Private Equity, Real Assets and Global Credit carry funds and related co-investment vehicles. Significant funds with remaining fair value of greater than $100 million are listed individually.

(2) Unrealized multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) represents remaining fair market value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by remaining investment cost.

(3) Total MOIC represents total fair value (realized proceeds combined with remaining fair value), before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by cumulative invested capital. For certain funds, represents the original cost of investments net of investment-level recallable proceeds, which is adjusted to reflect recyclability of invested capital for the purpose of calculating the fund MOIC.

(4) Represents cumulative equity invested as of the reporting period divided by total commitments. Amount can be greater than 100% due to the re-investment of recallable distributions to fund investors.

(5) Fund has a net accrued performance revenue balance/(giveback obligation) as of the current quarter end, driven by a significant portion of the fund’s asset base.

(6) Fund has generated realized net performance revenues/(realized giveback) in the last twelve months.

(7) Represents the date of the first capital contribution for management fees.

The Carlyle Group L.P.

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Other Key Terms

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Carlyle discloses in this press release the following 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:

• Economic Income or “EI,” represents segment net income which includes certain tax expense associated with performance revenues (comprised of performance allocations and incentive fees) and excludes the impact of all other income taxes, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, acquisition-related items including amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles and contingent consideration taking the form of earn-outs, charges associated with equity-based compensation issued in Carlyle’s initial public offering or in acquisitions or strategic investments, corporate actions and infrequently occurring or unusual events. Carlyle believes the inclusion or exclusion of these items provides investors with a meaningful indication of its core operating performance. For segment reporting purposes, revenues and expenses, and accordingly segment net income, are presented on a basis that deconsolidates certain Carlyle funds, related co-investment entities and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) (referred to collectively as the “Consolidated Funds”) that Carlyle consolidates in its consolidated financial statements pursuant to U.S. GAAP. Total Segment EI equals the aggregate of EI for all segments. Carlyle believes that reporting EI is helpful to understanding its business and that investors should review the same supplemental financial measure that management uses to analyze its segment performance.

• Fee-Related Earnings or “FRE,” is a component of EI and is used to assess the ability of the business to cover base compensation and operating expenses from fee revenues other than performance revenues. FRE differs from income (loss) before provision for income taxes computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP in that it adjusts for the items included in the calculation of EI and also adjusts EI to exclude net performance revenues, principal investment income (loss) from investments in Carlyle funds, equity-based compensation, net interest and certain general, administrative and other expenses when the timing of any future payment is uncertain. FRE is reported as part of Carlyle’s segment results.

• Distributable Earnings or “DE,” is FRE plus realized net performance revenues, realized principal investment income (loss), and net interest and is used to assess performance and amounts potentially available for distribution from Carlyle Holdings to its unitholders. DE is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of Consolidated Funds. DE is evaluated regularly by management in making resource deployment and compensation decisions across our four reportable segments. Management also uses DE in our budgeting, forecasting, and the overall management of our segments. DE is reported as part of Carlyle's segment results.

Income before provision for income taxes is the GAAP financial measure most comparable to Economic Income, Fee Related Earnings, and Distributable Earnings. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to income before provision for income taxes are included within this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Other Key Terms

“Assets under management” or “AUM” refers to the assets we manage or advise. Our AUM equals the sum of the following:

(a) the aggregate fair value of our carry funds and related co-investment vehicles, NGP management fee funds and separately managed accounts, plus the capital that Carlyle is entitled to call from investors in those funds and vehicles (including Carlyle commitments to those funds and vehicles and those of senior Carlyle professionals and employees) pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to those funds and vehicles;

(b) the amount of aggregate collateral balance and principal cash at par or aggregate principal amount of the notes of our CLOs and other structured products (inclusive of all positions);

(c) the net asset value (pre-redemptions and subscriptions) of our long/short credit, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic, fund of hedge funds vehicles, mutual fund and other hedge funds; and

(d) the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage) of our business development companies, plus the capital that Carlyle is entitled to call from investors in those vehicles pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to those vehicles.

AUM includes certain energy and renewable resources funds that Carlyle jointly advises with Riverstone Holdings L.L.C. (“Riverstone”) and certain NGP management fee funds and carry funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. Carlyle’s calculation of AUM (but not Fee-Earning AUM) includes uncalled commitments to, and the fair value of invested capital in, investment funds from Carlyle and its personnel, regardless of whether such commitments or invested capital are subject to management fees or performance revenues.

“Available capital,” refers to the amount of capital commitments available to be called for investments, which may be reduced for equity invested that is funded via fund credit facility and expected to be called from investors at a later date, plus any additional assets/liabilities at the fund level other than active investments. Amounts previously called may be added back to available capital following certain distributions.

“Carlyle funds,” “our funds” and “our investment funds” refer to the investment funds and vehicles advised by Carlyle.

“Carry funds” generally refers to closed-end investment vehicles, in which commitments are drawn down over a specified investment period, and in which the general partner receives a special residual allocation of income from limited partners, which we refer to as performance allocations, or carried interest, in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund. Disclosures referring to carry funds will also include the impact of certain commitments which do not earn carried interest, but are either part of, or associated with our carry funds. The rate of carried interest, as well as the share of carried interest allocated to Carlyle, may vary across the carry fund platform. Carry funds generally include the following investment vehicles across our four business segments:

• Corporate Private Equity (all): Buyout & growth funds advised by Carlyle

• Real Assets: Real estate, power, infrastructure and energy funds advised by Carlyle, as well as those energy funds advised by NGP Capital Management in which Carlyle is entitled to receive a share of carried interest

• Global Credit: Distressed credit, corporate mezzanine and energy credit funds, as well as certain closed-end credit funds advised by Carlyle

• Investment Solutions: Funds and vehicles advised by AlpInvest Partners B.V. (“AlpInvest”) and Metropolitan Real Estate Equity Management, LLC (“Metropolitan), which include fund, secondary and co-investment strategies 

Carry funds specifically exclude those funds advised by NGP Capital Management in which Carlyle is not entitled to receive a share of carried interest (or “NGP management fee funds”), collateralized loan obligation vehicles (CLOs), and business development companies.

“Catch-up management fees” refer to those amounts of management fees charged to fund investors in subsequent closings of a fund which apply to the time period between the fee initiation date and the subsequent closing date.

“Distributable Earnings Attributable to Common Unitholders” refers to The Carlyle Group L.P.'s share of Distributable Earnings, After Taxes (other than corporate income taxes attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P.) and preferred unit distributions, net of corporate income taxes attributable to The Carlyle Group L.P. and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreement.

“Expired available capital” occurs when a fund has passed the investment and follow-on periods and can no longer invest capital into new or existing deals. Any remaining available capital, typically a result of either recycled distributions or specific reserves established for the follow-on period that are not drawn, can only be called for fees and expenses and is therefore removed from the total AUM calculation.

“Fee earning assets under management” or “Fee earning AUM” refers to the assets we manage or advise from which we derive recurring fund management fees. Our Fee earning AUM is generally based on one of the following, once fees have been activated:

(a) the amount of limited partner capital commitments, generally for carry funds where the original investment period has not expired, for AlpInvest carry funds during the commitment fee period and for Metropolitan carry funds during the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds;

(b) the remaining amount of limited partner invested capital at cost, generally for carry funds and certain co-investment vehicles where the original investment period has expired and Metropolitan carry funds after the expiration of the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds;

(c) the amount of aggregate fee-earning collateral balance at par of our collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), as defined in the fund indentures (typically exclusive of equities and defaulted positions) as of the quarterly cut-off date for each CLO;

(d) the external investor portion of the net asset value of our hedge fund and fund of hedge funds vehicles (pre redemptions and subscriptions), as well as certain carry funds;

(e) the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), excluding cash and cash equivalents of our business development companies and certain carry funds; and

(f) the lower of cost or fair value of invested capital, generally for AlpInvest carry funds where the commitment fee period has expired and certain carry funds where the investment period has expired.

Fee Earning AUM includes certain energy and renewable resources carry funds that Carlyle jointly advises with Riverstone and certain NGP management fee funds and carry funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. Fee Earning AUM includes only those assets which earn a material fee.

For most of our carry funds, total AUM includes the fair value of the capital invested, whereas Fee earning AUM includes the amount of capital commitments or the remaining amount of invested capital, depending on whether the original investment period for the fund has expired. As such, Fee earning AUM may be greater than total AUM when the aggregate fair value of the remaining investments is less than the cost of those investments.

“NGP management fee funds” refer to those funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries) from which we only receive management fees.

“Net accrued performance revenues” refers to the accrued performance allocations and incentive fees that are attributable to Carlyle’s unitholders. This balance is comprised of accrued performance allocations and incentive fees less: accrued giveback obligations, accrued performance allocations and incentive fee compensation, performance allocations and incentive fee-related tax obligations, and accrued performance allocations and incentive fees attributable to non-controlling interests. This balance also excludes net accrued performance allocations and incentive fees that have been realized but will be collected in subsequent periods.

“Net performance revenues” refers to the performance allocations and incentive fees from Carlyle funds and vehicles net of the portion allocated to Carlyle investment professionals (including related tax expense) which is reflected as performance revenues related compensation expense.

Page | 39

“Performance revenues” consist principally of performance allocations (carried interest) from carry funds and incentive fees or allocations from certain Global Credit vehicles. Carlyle is generally entitled to a 20% allocation (or 10% to 20% on certain longer-dated carry funds as well as some external co-investment vehicles, or approximately 2% to 10% in the case of most of the Investment Solutions carry funds and vehicles) of the net realized income or gain as a carried interest after returning the invested capital, the allocation of preferred returns of generally 7% to 9% (or 4% to 7% for certain longer-dated carry funds) and the return of certain fund costs (subject to catch-up provisions as set forth in the fund limited partnership agreement). Performance allocations revenue, which is a component of investment income in Carlyle’s consolidated financial statements, is recognized by Carlyle upon appreciation of the valuation of the applicable funds’ investments above certain return hurdles as set forth in each respective partnership agreement and is based on the amount that would be due to Carlyle pursuant to the fund partnership agreement at each period end as if the funds were liquidated at such date.

“Realized net performance revenues” refers to the realized performance allocations and incentive fees from Carlyle funds and vehicles net of the portion allocated to Carlyle investment professionals which is reflected as realized performance revenues related compensation expense, and any performance allocations and incentive fee-related tax obligations.

“VIE” refers to a variable interest entity, as that term is defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation.
