March 31, 2024
1. ORGANIZATION
Blue Owl Capital Inc. (the “Registrant”), a Delaware corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Blue Owl”), is a global alternative asset manager. Anchored by a strong Permanent Capital base, the Company deploys private capital across Credit, GP Strategic Capital and Real Estate platforms on behalf of institutional and private wealth clients.
The Company’s primary sources of revenues are management fees, which are generally based on the amount of the Company’s fee-paying assets under management. The Company generates substantially all of its revenues in the United States. The Company operates through one operating and reportable segment. This single reportable segment reflects how the chief operating decision makers allocate resources and assess performance under the Company’s “one-firm approach,” which includes operating collaboratively across product lines, with predominantly a single expense pool.
The Company conducts its operations through Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP (“Blue Owl Holdings”) and Blue Owl Capital Carry LP (“Blue Owl Carry”). Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry are referred to, collectively, as the “Blue Owl Operating Partnerships,” and collectively with their consolidated subsidiaries, as the “Blue Owl Operating Group.” The Registrant holds its controlling financial interests in the Blue Owl Operating Group indirectly through Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LLC and Blue Owl Capital GP LLC (collectively, “Blue Owl GP”), which are directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant.
Business Combination, Including Dyal Acquisition
The Registrant was initially incorporated in the Cayman Islands as Altimar Acquisition Corporation (“Altimar”), a special purpose acquisition company. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated December 23, 2020, as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time (the “Business Combination Agreement”), on May 19, 2021 (“Business Combination Date”), (i) Altimar was redomiciled as a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Blue Owl Capital Inc., (ii) Altimar merged with the combined businesses of Blue Owl Capital Group LLC (formerly, Owl Rock Capital Group LLC) and Blue Owl Securities LLC (formerly, Owl Rock Securities LLC) (“Owl Rock”) (the “Altimar Merger”) and (iii) the Company acquired Dyal Capital Partners (“Dyal Capital”), a former division of Neuberger Berman Group LLC (the “Dyal Acquisition”) (collectively with the Altimar Merger, the “Business Combination”). As further discussed in Note 2, for both the Altimar Merger and the Dyal Acquisition, Owl Rock was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Therefore, the predecessor to Blue Owl is “Owl Rock,” a combined carve-out of Owl Rock Capital Group LLC and Blue Owl Securities LLC (“Securities”).
Oak Street Acquisition
On December 29, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Blue Owl Real Estate Capital, LLC (f/k/a Oak Street Real Estate Capital, LLC, “Oak Street”) and its advisory business (the “Oak Street Acquisition”).
Wellfleet Acquisition
On April 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Blue Owl Liquid Credit Partners (f/k/a Wellfleet Credit Partners, LLC, “Wellfleet”), a manager of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) (the “Wellfleet Acquisition”).
Par Four Acquisition
On August 15, 2023, the Company acquired the rights to certain CLO management agreements, related assets and personnel from Par Four CLO Management LLC (“Par Four”) (the “Par Four Acquisition”).

March 31, 2024
CHI Acquisition
On December 1, 2023, the Company acquired the rights to investment management agreements, investor relationships, related assets and personnel from Cowen Healthcare Investments (“CHI”) (the “CHI Acquisition,” and collectively with the Dyal Acquisition, Oak Street Acquisition, Wellfleet Acquisition, and Par Four Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”).
Registrant’s Capital Structure
The following table presents the number of shares of the Registrant, RSUs and warrants that were outstanding as of March 31, 2024:
March 31, 2024
Class A Shares 500,879,131
Class C Shares 611,908,856
Class D Shares 316,016,619
RSUs 29,107,582
Private Placement Warrants 5,000,000
Class A Shares —Shares of Class A common stock that are publicly traded. Class A Stockholders are entitled to dividends declared on the Class A Shares by the Registrant’s board of directors (the “Board”). As of March 31, 2024, the Class A Shares and Class C Shares (collectively, the “Low-Vote Shares”) represent a combined 20 % of the total voting power of all shares.
Class B Shares —Shares of Class B common stock that are not publicly traded. Class B Stockholders are entitled to dividends in the same amount per share as declared on Class A Shares. As of March 31, 2024, the Class B Shares and Class D Shares (collectively, the “High-Vote Shares”) represent a combined 80 % of the total voting power of all shares.
Class C Shares —Shares of Class C common stock that are not publicly traded. Class C Stockholders do not participate in the earnings of the Registrant, as the holders of such shares participate in the economics of the Blue Owl Operating Group through their direct and indirect holdings of Common Units and Incentive Units (as defined below and subject to limitations on unvested units). For every Common Unit held directly or indirectly by non-Principals, one Class C Share is issued to grant a corresponding voting interest in the Registrant. The Class C Shares are Low-Vote Shares as described above.
Class D Shares —Shares of Class D common stock that are not publicly traded. Class D Stockholders do not participate in the earnings of the Registrant, as the holders of such shares participate in the economics of the Blue Owl Operating Group through their direct or indirect holdings of Common Units and Incentive Units (subject to limitations on unvested units). For every Common Unit held directly and indirectly by Principals, one Class D Share is issued to grant a corresponding voting interest in the Registrant. The Class D Shares are High-Vote Shares as described above.
RSUs —The Company grants Class A restricted share units (“RSUs”) to its employees and independent Board members. An RSU entitles the holder to receive a Class A Share, or cash equal to the fair value of a Class A Share at the election of the Board, upon completion of a requisite service period. RSUs granted to date do not accrue dividend equivalents. No RSUs were issued prior to the Business Combination. RSU grants are accounted for as equity-based compensation. See Note 10 and the Company’s Annual Report for additional information.
Warrants —In connection with the Business Combination, the Company issued warrants to purchase Class A Shares at an original price of $ 11.50 per share (currently, $ 11.29 due to certain dividend adjustments). A portion of the outstanding warrants are held by the sponsor of Altimar (“Private Placement Warrants”) and the remaining warrants were held by other third-party investors (“Public Warrants”). The Private Placement Warrants will expire five years from the Business Combination Date.

Blue Owl Operating Partnerships’ Capital Structure
The following table presents the interests outstanding of the Blue Owl Operating Group that were outstanding as of March 31, 2024, which interests are collectively referred to as “Blue Owl Operating Group Units”:
Units March 31, 2024
GP Units 500,879,131
Common Units 927,925,475
Incentive Units 34,665,699
GP Units —The Registrant indirectly holds a general partner interest and all of the GP Units in each of the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships. The GP Units are general partner interests in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships that represent the Registrant’s economic ownership in the Blue Owl Operating Group. For each Class A Share and Class B Share outstanding, the Registrant indirectly holds an equal number of GP Units. References to GP Units refer collectively to a GP Unit in each of the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships. References to GP Units also include Common Units (as defined below) acquired and held directly or indirectly by the Registrant as a result of Common Units exchanged for Class A Shares.
Common Units —Common Units are limited partner interests held by certain members of management, employees and other third parties in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships. Subject to certain restrictions, Common Units are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis for either Class A Shares (if held by a non-Principal) or Class B Shares (if held by a Principal). Common Unit exchanges may be settled in cash at the election of the Company’s Exchange Committee (currently composed of independent members of the Board), and only if funded from proceeds of a new permanent equity offering. References to Common Units refer collectively to a Common Unit in each of the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships, but excludes any Common Units held directly or indirectly by the Registrant. Upon an exchange of Common Units for an equal number of Class A Shares or Class B Shares, a corresponding number of Class C Shares or Class D Shares, respectively, will be cancelled. Common Unitholders are entitled to distributions in the same amount per unit as declared on GP Units.
Incentive Units —Incentive Units are Class P limited partner interests in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships granted to certain members of management, employees and consultants (collectively, “Incentive Unit Grantees”) and are generally subject to vesting conditions, as further discussed in Note 10 to the Financial Statements and Note 8 to the financial statements in our Annual Report. Incentive Units are held indirectly through Blue Owl Management Vehicle LP on behalf of Incentive Unit Grantees. A vested Incentive Unit may convert into a Common Unit upon becoming economically equivalent on a tax basis to a Common Unit. Once vested, Incentive Unitholders are entitled to distributions in the same amount per unit as declared on GP Units and Common Units. Unvested Incentive Unitholders generally are not entitled to distributions; however, consistent with other Blue Owl Operating Group Units (other than Oak Street Earnout Units), unvested Incentive Units receive taxable income allocations that may subject holders to tax liabilities. As a result, Incentive Unitholders (consistent with other Blue Owl Operating Group Units other than Oak Street Earnout Units) may receive tax distributions on unvested units to cover a portion or all of such tax liabilities.
Share Repurchases and RSUs Withheld for Tax Withholding
On May 4, 2022, the Company’s Board authorized the repurchase of up to $ 150.0 million of Class A Shares. Under the repurchase program (the “Program”), repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual numbers repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The Program may be changed, suspended or discontinued at any time and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the purchase of all shares available under the Program or (ii) December 31, 2024. There were no repurchases made under the Program during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s RSU awards, upon the vesting of RSUs to employees, the Company net settles awards to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations. In such instances, the Company cancels a number of RSUs equivalent in value to the amount of tax withholding payments that the Company is making on behalf of employees out of available cash.

Acquisitions-Related Earnouts
In connection with the Oak Street Acquisition, the Company agreed to make additional payments of cash (“Oak Street Cash Earnout”) and Common Units (“Oak Street Earnout Units” and collectively with the Oak Street Cash Earnout, the “Oak Street Earnouts”) in two tranches upon the occurrence of certain “Oak Street Triggering Events.” The Oak Street Triggering Events are based on achieving a certain level of quarterly management fee revenues from the Company’s Real Estate products. In January 2023, the Oak Street Triggering Event occurred with respect to the First Oak Street Earnout. In January 2024, the Oak Street Triggering Event occurred with respect to the Second Oak Street Earnout. See Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report for additional information.
In connection with the Wellfleet Acquisition, the Company agreed to make additional payments of cash (“Wellfleet Earnout Cash”) and Class A Shares (“Wellfleet Earnout Shares” and collectively with the Wellfleet Earnout Cash, the “Wellfleet Earnouts”) to the sellers in three tranches at each anniversary following the closing of the transaction for three years , contingent upon the continued employment of certain Wellfleet employees (“Wellfleet Triggering Events”). In April 2023, the Company modified the Wellfleet Earnout Shares arrangement, such that the settlement of the Wellfleet Earnout Shares would be in cash at each payment date, including the settlement of the First Wellfleet Earnouts during the second quarter of 2023. In April 2024, the Wellfleet Triggering Event occurred with respect to the Second Wellfleet Earnout. See Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report for additional information.
Common Unit Exchanges
From time to time, the Company exchanges Common Units and Class C Shares for an equal number of Class A Shares. As a result of these exchanges, the Company reallocates equity from noncontrolling interests to the Company’s additional paid-in capital and records additional deferred tax assets and TRA liability in connection with the exchanges. See the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for these amounts.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited, interim, consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation and combination. The notes are an integral part of the Company’s Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s Financial Statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) is comprised solely of consolidated net income (loss) (i.e., the Company has no other comprehensive income). These interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”).
Prior to the Business Combination, Blue Owl’s financial statements were prepared on a consolidated basis. As part of the Business Combination, Securities was contributed to the Blue Owl Operating Group. Following the Business Combination, the financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis.

The merger between Owl Rock and Altimar was accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition, with no step-up to fair value on any assets or liabilities, and therefore no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. The Acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. As a result, the Company recorded the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the closing date of each respective acquisition, and operating results for each acquired business are included starting as of such each respective date.
For details about Blue Owl’s significant accounting policies and accounting updates adopted in the prior year, see Note 2 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no material updates to Blue Owl’s significant accounting policies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements. The most critical of these estimates are related to (i) the fair value of the investments held by the products the Company manages, as for many products, this impacts the amount of revenues the Company recognizes each period; (ii) the fair value of equity-based compensation grants; (iii) the fair values of liabilities with respect to the TRA (the portion considered contingent consideration), warrants and earnout liabilities; (iv) the estimate of future taxable income, which impacts the realizability and carrying amount of the Company’s deferred income tax assets; and (v) the qualitative and quantitative assessments of whether impairments of intangible assets and goodwill exist. Inherent in such estimates and judgements relating to future cash flows, which include the Company’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market valuations, are assumptions about the Company’s strategic plans with regard to its operations. While management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Financial Statements are reasonable and prudent, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. ASUs not listed below were not applicable, not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements when adopted or did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Financial Statements upon adoption.
Standard Description Effective Date and
Method of Adoption Impact on Financial Statements
ASU 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures The guidance requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segment disclosure requirements. The amendments are as follows:
• Introduce a new requirement to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).
• Extend certain annual disclosures to interim periods.
• Clarify single reportable segment entities must apply ASC 280 in its entirety.
• Require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.
• Permit more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions.
The guidance does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments, or the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments.
Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.
A public entity should apply the amendments in this update retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
The Company plans to adopt the ASU beginning with the 2024 Form 10-K. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the required disclosures for entities with a single reportable segment, as well as the nature of other new quantitative and qualitative disclosures in the ASU.
ASU 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures The ASU enhances income tax disclosures for public business entities by requiring entities to disclose:
• A tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and amounts, broken out into specific categories with certain reconciling items at or above 5% of the statutory (i.e. expected) tax further broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction.
• Income taxes paid (net of refunds received), broken out between federal (national), state/local and foreign, and amounts paid to individual jurisdictions when 5% or more of the total income taxes are paid.
The ASU also includes other amendments, such as replacing the term ‘public entity’ with ‘public business entity’ and the removal of certain disclosures.
For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted.
The Company plans to adopt the ASU beginning with the 2025 Form 10-K. The guidance will result in enhanced disclosures that will improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction.

Fair Value Measurements Categorized within the Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). The Company and the products it manages hold a variety of assets and liabilities, certain of which are not publicly traded or that are otherwise illiquid. Significant judgement and estimation go into the assumptions that drive the fair value of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of these assets and liabilities may be estimated using a combination of observed transaction prices, prices from third parties (including independent pricing services and relevant broker quotes), models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are neither directly nor indirectly market observable. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of assets and liabilities that are determined to be illiquid or do not have readily ascertainable fair values, the estimates of fair value may differ from the values ultimately realized, and those differences can be material.
GAAP prioritizes the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of assets and liabilities and the specific characteristics of the financial assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively 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 lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed into one of the following categories based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values:
• Level I – Quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
• Level II – Valuations obtained from independent third-party pricing services, the use of models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are either directly or indirectly market observable as of the measurement date. These financial assets and liabilities exhibit higher levels of liquid market observability as compared to Level III financial assets and liabilities.
• Level III – Pricing inputs that are unobservable in the market and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial asset or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value of financial assets and liabilities in this category may require significant management judgment or estimation. The fair value of these financial assets and liabilities may be estimated using a combination of observed transaction prices, independent pricing services, models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are neither directly nor indirectly market observable (e.g., cash flows, implied yields).
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial asset or liability when the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

Valuation Methodologies for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Levels II and III
Equity Investments in the Company’s Products
The fair value of equity investments in the Company’s products is determined based on the published net asset value of these investments, as such values are the price at which contributions and redemptions are effectuated on a monthly basis. These investments are generally classified as Level II. The remaining balance is generally redeemable on a monthly basis at the Company’s option.
CLOs
The fair value of CLOs are determined based on inputs from independent pricing services. These investments are classified as Level III. The Company obtains prices from independent pricing services that utilize discounted cash flows, which take into account unobservable significant inputs, such as yield, prepayments and credit quality.

TRA Liability
The TRA related to the Dyal Acquisition is considered contingent consideration and is measured at fair value based on discounted future cash flows. The remaining TRA liability on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition is not measured at fair value.
Warrant Liability
The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Private Placement Warrants. The Company estimates the volatility of its Class A Shares based on the volatility implied by our peer group. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasuries for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.
Earnout Liability
As of March 31, 2024, the earnout liability was comprised of the Wellfleet Earnouts. As of December 31, 2023, the earnout liability was comprised of the Oak Street Cash Earnout and the Wellfleet Earnouts, each of which were deemed to be contingent consideration on the Oak Street Acquisition and Wellfleet Acquisition, respectively.
The fair value of the Oak Street Cash Earnout was determined using a discounted cash flow model as of December 31, 2023.
The fair value of the Wellfleet Earnouts, which are primarily comprised of future contingent cash payments, was determined using a discounted cash flow model.

Revolving Credit Facility
On December 7, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which was amended in June 2023 to increase total borrowing capacity to $ 1.6 billion and extend the maturity date to June 29, 2028. Amounts available for the Revolving Credit Facility presented in the tables above are reduced by outstanding letters of credit related to certain leases. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Company’s discretion at a rate (a) per annum of adjusted-term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 1.25 % to 1.875 %, plus 0.1 % term SOFR adjustment, or (b) the greater of the (i) prime rate, (ii) New York Fed Bank Rate plus 0.50 % or (iii) adjusted-term SOFR plus 1 %, plus a margin of 0.25 % to 0.875 %. The Company is subject to an undrawn commitment fee rate of 0.125 % to 0.375 % of the daily amount of available revolving commitment.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Tax Receivable Agreement
Pursuant to the TRA, the Company will pay 85 % of certain tax benefits, if any, that it realizes (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of any increases in tax basis of the assets of the Blue Owl Operating Group related to the Business Combination and any subsequent exchanges of Blue Owl Operating Group Units for shares of the Registrant or cash.
Payments under the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless (i) the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA and pays recipients an amount representing the present value of the remaining payments, (ii) there is a change of control or (iii) the Company breaches any of the material obligations of the TRA, in which case all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if the Company had exercised its right to terminate the TRA. In each case, if payments are accelerated, such payments will be based on certain assumptions, including that the Company will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions.
The estimate of the timing and the amount of future payments under the TRA involves several assumptions that do not account for the significant uncertainties associated with these potential payments, including an assumption that the Company will have sufficient taxable income in the relevant tax years to utilize the tax benefits that would give rise to an obligation to make payments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company made a TRA payment of $ 28.2 million (including $ 2.8 million to related parties). The table below presents management’s estimate as of March 31, 2024, of the maximum amounts that would be payable under the TRA assuming that the Company will have sufficient taxable income each year to fully realize the expected tax savings. In light of the numerous factors affecting the Company’s obligation to make such payments, the timing and amounts of any such actual payments may differ materially from those presented in the table.

Unfunded Product Commitments
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had unfunded investment commitments to its products of $ 33.2 million, which is exclusive of commitments that employees and other related parties have directly to the Company’s products, and which the Company expects to fund over the next several years. In addition, the Company has unfunded commitments under a promissory note with one of its products, as further discussed in Note 13.
Indemnification and Guarantee Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain indemnities or guarantees for related parties of the Company, including the Company’s products, as well as persons acting on behalf of the Company or such related parties and third parties. The terms of the indemnities and guarantees vary from contract to contract and the Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be determined or the risk of material loss is remote, and therefore no amounts have been recorded in the consolidated statements of financial condition. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such legal actions, in the opinion of management, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceeding or claim that would individually or in the aggregate materially affect its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

11. INCOME TAXES
The computation of the effective tax rate and provision at each interim period requires the use of certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income that is subject to tax, permanent differences between the Company’s GAAP earnings and taxable income, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets existing as of the balance sheet date. The estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change throughout the year as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as tax laws and regulations change. Accordingly, the effective tax rate for future interim periods may vary materially.
The Registrant is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal and state and local corporate-level income taxes on its share of taxable income from the Blue Owl Operating Group. Further, the Registrant’s income tax provision and related income tax assets and liabilities are based on, among other things, an estimate of the impact of exchanges of Common Units for Class A Shares, inclusive of an analysis of tax basis and state tax implications of the Blue Owl Operating Group and their underlying assets and liabilities. The Company’s estimate is based on the most recent information available. The tax basis and state impact of the Blue Owl Operating Group and their underlying assets and liabilities are based on estimates subject to finalization of the Company’s tax returns. The Blue Owl Operating Partnerships, are partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and taxable entities for certain state and local taxes, such as New York City UBT.
The Company had an effective tax rate of 11.7 % for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 13.3 % for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The effective tax rates differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the portion of income allocated to noncontrolling interests, nondeductible compensation and state and local taxes.
The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset and may recognize or adjust any valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded any valuation allowances.
The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the tax years that remain open under the statute of limitations may be subject to examinations by the appropriate tax authorities. The Company is generally no longer subject to state or local examinations by tax authorities for tax years prior to 2019.

In connection with and subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company recorded to additional paid-in capital various adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as related impacts to the TRA liability, related to capital transactions. These adjustments primarily resulted from differences between the Company’s GAAP and tax basis in its investment in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships, as well as portions related to the TRA liability that may eventually lead to additional tax basis in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships upon future TRA payments. The deferred tax assets will be recovered as the basis is amortized. See the Company’s consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for these amounts.
12. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The table below presents the Company’s treatment for basic and diluted earnings per share for instruments outstanding of the Registrant and the Blue Owl Operating Group. Potentially dilutive instruments are only considered in the calculation to the extent they would be dilutive.

Oak Street Earnout Units (5)
Excluded Contingently issuable shares
If-converted method
(1) Included in the weighted-average Class A Shares outstanding are RSUs that have vested but have not been settled in Class A Shares. These RSUs do not participate in dividends until settled in Class A Shares. These vested RSUs totaled 12,098,617 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 10,736,476 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
(2) The treasury stock method for warrants, which are carried at fair value, includes adjusting the numerator for changes in fair value impacting net income for the period.
(3) During the second quarter of 2023, the Company modified the Wellfleet Earnout Shares arrangement such that settlement of the Wellfleet Earnout Shares would be in cash at each payment date. As a result of the modification, Wellfleet Earnout Shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share for three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2023, the Wellfleet Triggering Events with respect to the Wellfleet Earnout Shares had not occurred, and therefore such shares have not been included in the calculation of basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023. However, had March 31, 2023, also been the end of the contingency period for the Wellfleet Earnout Shares, the Wellfleet Triggering Events would have occurred, and therefore the Wellfleet Earnout Shares have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as if such shares were outstanding from the date of the Wellfleet Acquisition.
(4) The if-converted method for these instruments includes adding back to the numerator any related income or loss allocations to noncontrolling interest, as well as any incremental tax expense had the instruments converted into Class A Shares as of the beginning of the period.

(5) The Second Oak Street Earnouts and the First Oak Street Earnouts were settled as common units during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the Oak Street Triggering Events with respect to the Second Oak Street Earnout Units had not occurred nor are these units issuable by the Registrant (they would be issued as Common Units of the Blue Owl Operating Group), and therefore such units have not been included in the calculation of basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Had March 31, 2023, also been the end of the contingency period for the Second Oak Street Earnout Units, the Oak Street Triggering Event would have not occurred, and therefore the Second Oak Street Earnout Units have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
