Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
For a further discussion of the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The December 31, 2022 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date.
Evercore LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Specifically, the Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore LP and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity while the limited partners have no kick-out or substantive participating rights. The assets and liabilities of Evercore LP represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company with the exception of U.S. corporate taxes

The Company has concluded that Glisco Capital Partners II, Glisco Capital Partners III and Glisco Manager Holdings LP are VIEs and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary of these entities included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance of these entities and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to the entities, or the right to receive benefits from the entities that could be potentially significant. Neither the Company nor its related parties will have the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Further, as a limited partner in these entities, the Company does not possess substantive participating rights. The Company had assets of $ 3,297 and $ 3,166 included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, related to these unconsolidated VIEs, representing the carrying value of the Company's investments in the entities.

Note 8 – Leases
Operating Leases – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2035. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. The lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. The Company does not have any leases with variable lease payments. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office space of $ 13,428 and $ 12,840 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and variable lease cost, which principally include costs for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses of $ 1,186 and $ 1,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
In December 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement to take on 38 rentable square feet in New York, New York. The Company took possession of this space in January 2023.

The Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The determination of an appropriate incremental borrowing rate requires significant assumptions and judgment. The Company's incremental borrowing rate was calculated based on the Company's recent debt issuances and current market conditions. The Company scales the rates appropriately depending on the life of the leases.
The Company incurred net operating cash outflows of $ 15,561 and $ 14,811 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to its operating leases, which was net of cash received from lease incentives of $ 332 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820") establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level 1 include listed equities, listed derivatives and treasury bills and notes. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Periodically, the Company holds investments in corporate bonds, municipal bonds and other debt securities, the estimated fair values of which are based on prices provided by external pricing services.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
The following table presents the categorization of investments and certain other financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's financial instrument assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, are listed in the tables below.

Note 12 – Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling Interest recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company relates to the following approximate interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries, which are not owned by the Company. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits or losses to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, the net income or loss of these entities is allocated based on these special allocations.
Noncontrolling ownership interests for the Company's subsidiaries were as follows:
As of March 31,
2023 2022
Evercore LP (1)
7 % 6 %
Evercore Wealth Management ("EWM") (2)
25 % 25 %
(1) On February 24, 2022, 2,545 Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units") were exchanged for 2,545 Class A Shares, which resulted in a decrease in noncontrolling interest of Evercore LP. For further information see " LP Units Exchanged" below.
(2) Noncontrolling Interests represent a blended rate for multiple classes of interests in EWM.
The Noncontrolling Interests for Evercore LP and EWM have rights, in certain circumstances, to convert into Class A Shares.
The Company has outstanding Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class A LP Units"), Class E LP Units, Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units") and Class K limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class K LP Units"), which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one-for-one basis. See Note 13 for further information.
During the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, the Company has the option to purchase, at fair value, a portion of the outstanding EWM Class A Units such that the noncontrolling interest holders would continue to hold no less than 25 % of the outstanding units following the transaction. This transaction may be settled in cash, Evercore LP Units or Class A shares of the Company, at the Company’s discretion. If the Company has not exercised its option prior to the end of the option period, or the noncontrolling interest holders continue to hold greater than 25 % of the outstanding units following the transaction, the noncontrolling interest holders may exchange their interests for Evercore LP Units, at fair value, sufficient to reduce their outstanding interest to 25 %. As of March 31, 2023, the EWM members held 25 % of the outstanding EWM Units.
Changes in Noncontrolling Interest for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Following the Exchange, ISI Holding liquidated and distributed the Class A Shares received in the Exchange to its stockholders in accordance with their ownership interests in ISI Holding. The parties have relied on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 under Section 4(a)(2) thereof for the Exchange.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, 24 LP Units were exchanged for Class A Shares. This resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $ 1,478 and an increase to Additional-Paid-In-Capital of $ 1,478 on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2023.

This purchase resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $ 87 and a decrease to Additional-Paid-In-Capital of $ 1,361 on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2022.

Statements of Financial Condition. The amount of contingent consideration to be paid is dependent on the RECA business achieving certain revenue performance targets. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are included within Other Operating Expenses on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration reflects the present value of the expected payment due based on the current expectation for the business meeting the revenue performance targets. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company also issued a payment in the first quarter of 2023 and will issue another payment in early 2024, contingent on continued employment with the Company. Accordingly, these payments are treated as compensation expense for accounting purposes in the periods earned. These payments will also be dependent on the RECA business achieving certain revenue performance targets.
Note 13 – Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Inc. Common Shareholders
The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are described and presented below.

Diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding 40,439 41,708
Diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 2.06 $ 3.79
(1) The Company has outstanding Class A, E, I and K LP Units, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one -for-one basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, these LP Units were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the denominator of the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 2,756 and 3,943 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The adjustment to the numerator, diluted net income attributable to Class A common shareholders, if the effect would have been dilutive, would have been $ 6,986 and $ 15,066 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and

2022, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all Class A, E, I and K LP Units are converted into Class A Shares, that all earnings attributable to those shares are attributed to Evercore Inc. and that the Company is subject to the statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional corporate tax structure in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the Class A, E, I and K LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods.
(2) During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, certain shares of the Company's common stock assumed to be issued pursuant to non-vested RSUs, as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method, were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders. The shares that would have been included in the treasury stock method calculation if the effect would have been dilutive were 2,239 and 2,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(3) The Company previously had outstanding Class I-P units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units") which were contingently exchangeable into Class I LP Units, and ultimately Class A Shares, and has outstanding Class K-P units of Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class K LP Units, and ultimately Class A Shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. On March 1, 2022, all of the Class I-P Units converted to Class I LP Units. See Note 14 for further information. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders, the Company's Class I-P Units and Class K-P Units are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding as of the beginning of the period in which all necessary performance conditions have been satisfied. If all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of shares that are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding is based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period.
The shares of Class B common stock have no right to receive dividends or a distribution on liquidation or winding up of the Company. The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of the Company and no earnings are allocable to such class. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.
Note 14 – Share-Based and Other Deferred Compensation
LP Units
Class I-P Units – In November 2016, the Company awarded 400 Class I-P Units in conjunction with the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer (then Executive Chairman). These Class I-P Units converted into 400 Class I LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares) upon the achievement of certain market and service conditions on March 1, 2022. Compensation expense related to this award was $ 753 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 .
Class K-P Units – The Company has awarded the following Class K-P Units:
• In June 2019, the Company awarded 220 Class K-P Units to an employee of the Company. These Class K-P Units convert into a number of Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares) contingent and based upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results relating to the employee's business and continued service through February 4, 2023 for the first tranche, which consists of 120 Class K-P Units, and February 4, 2028 for the second tranche, which consists of 100 Class K-P Units.

• In December 2021, the Company awarded 400 Class K-P Units to certain employees of the Company. These Class K-P Units convert into a number of Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares) contingent and based upon the achievement of certain market conditions, defined benchmark results and continued service through December 31, 2025. As this award contains market, performance and service conditions, the expense for this award will be recognized over the service period of the award and will reflect the fair value of the underlying units as determined at the award's grant date, taking into account the probable outcome of the market condition being achieved, as well as the probable outcome of the performance condition.
• In December 2022, the Company awarded 200 Class K-P Units to an employee of the Company. These Class K-P Units are segregated into four tranches of 50 Class K-P Units each. The first three tranches convert into a number of Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares) contingent and based

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
upon the achievement of certain market conditions and continued service through February 28, 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively, while the final tranche converts into a number of Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares) contingent and based upon the achievement of certain market conditions, defined benchmark results relating to the employee's business and continued service through February 28, 2028. As this award contains market, performance and service conditions, the expense for this award will be recognized over the service period of the award and will reflect the fair value of the underlying units as determined at the award's grant date, taking into account the probable outcome of the market condition being achieved, as well as the probable outcome of the performance condition.
These Class K-P Units in the aggregate may convert into a maximum of 1,293 Class K LP Units, contingent upon the achievement of certain market conditions, defined benchmark results and continued service, as described above. The Company determined the grant date fair value of these awards probable to vest as of March 31, 2023 to be $ 99,519 , related to 896 Class K LP Units which were probable of achievement, and recognizes expense for these units over the respective service periods. Aggregate compensation expense related to the Class K-P Units was $ 6,407 and $ 5,468 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Class L Interests – In April 2021 and January 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests in Evercore LP ("Class L Interests") to certain of the named executive officers of the Company, pursuant to which the named executive officers received a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, which was paid in the first quarter of 2022 and 2023, respectively. Distributions pursuant to these interests were made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to the named executive officers of the Company in respect of their service for 2021 and 2022, respectively. Following the distribution, these Class L Interests were cancelled pursuant to their terms.
In January 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests to certain of the named executive officers of the Company, pursuant to which the named executive officers may receive a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, to be paid in the first quarter of 2024. Distributions pursuant to these interests are anticipated to be made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to the named executive officers of the Company in respect of their service for 2023.
The Company records expense related to these interests as part of its accrual for incentive compensation within Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Stock Incentive Plan
During 2022, the Company's stockholders approved the Second Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Second Amended 2016 Plan"), which amended the Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. The Second Amended 2016 Plan, among other things, authorizes an additional 6,500 shares of the Company's Class A Shares. The Second Amended 2016 Plan permits the Company to grant to certain employees, directors and consultants incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and other awards based on the Company's Class A Shares. The Company intends to use newly-issued Class A Shares to satisfy any awards under the Second Amended 2016 Plan and its predecessor plan. Class A Shares underlying any award granted under the Second Amended 2016 Plan that expire, terminate or are canceled or satisfied for any reason without being settled in stock again become available for awards under the plan. The total shares available to be granted in the future under the Second Amended 2016 Plan was 5,196 as of March 31, 2023.
The Company also grants, at its discretion, dividend equivalents, in the form of unvested RSU awards, or deferred cash dividends, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A Shares, on all unvested RSU grants. The dividend equivalents have the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSU award.
The Company estimates forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of its awards. The Company periodically monitors its estimated forfeiture rate and adjusts its assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative adjustment in the period of the change.
Equity Grants
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, pursuant to the Second Amended 2016 Plan, the Company granted employees 2,393 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. Service-based Awards granted during the three months ended March 31,

Employee Loans Receivable
Periodically, the Company provides new and existing employees with cash payments in the form of loans and/or other cash awards which are subject to ratable vesting terms with service requirements ranging from one to five years and in certain circumstances, subject to the achievement of performance requirements.

Compensation expense related to these awards was $ 4,646 and $ 5,452 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the total compensation cost not yet recognized related to these awards was $ 34,274 .

contractual and employment matters. In addition, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company's business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450, "Contingencies" ("ASC 450") when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.
Note 16 – Regulatory Authorities

Certain other non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to various securities and banking regulations and capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the countries in which they operate.

("ETC"), which is limited to fiduciary activities, is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System.

Note 17 – Income Taxes
The Company's Provision for Income Taxes was $ 16,131 and $ 34,782 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate was 14.9 % and 16.4 % for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 also reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including expenses related to Class I-P and K-P Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments.
Additionally, the Company is subject to the income tax effects associated with the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions in the period incurred.
