Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our Financial Statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our Financial Statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a material misstatement of our Financial Statements would be prevented or detected. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which is included in the opinion starting on page F-2 of this report. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Item 9B. Other Information. Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.” Item 9C.

We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. F-2 Table of Contents Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Evaluation of the fair value of certain acquired intangible assets As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired the rights to investment management agreements, investor relationships, related assets and personnel from IPI Partners, LLC (IPI) on January 3, 2025. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting as discussed in Note 2. As discussed in Note 3, the Company acquired IPI for total purchase consideration of $1.3 billion. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized intangible assets acquired at their acquisition-date fair value. The intangible assets acquired included investment management agreements and investor relationships of $240.0 million and $105.0 million, respectively. We identified the evaluation of the fair value of certain investment management agreement intangible assets and investor relationship intangible assets acquired in the IPI business combination as a critical audit matter. Subjective and complex auditor judgment was required to evaluate certain key assumptions used to value the investment management agreements and the investor relationships. The key assumptions included the projected revenue on assets under management, investor retention rates used to value the investor relationships, and certain discount rate assumptions. The acquisition-date fair values of investment management agreements and investor relationships were sensitive to changes in the key assumptions. Additionally, the projected revenue on assets under management was based on expectations of future market and economic conditions that are uncertain. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s acquisition date valuation process. This included controls related to the development of the key assumptions used to value the investment management agreements and investor relationships. We evaluated the reasonableness of the projected revenue on assets under management for certain acquired investment management agreements and investor relationships by comparing it to the acquiree’s historical revenue on assets under management. We also evaluated the reasonableness of the investor retention rates used to determine the fair value of the investor relationships by comparing them to the historical retention rates of investors participating in new funds and investment strategies. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the discount rates used to determine the fair value of the investment management agreements and investor relationships by: • independently developing a range of discount rates based on publicly available market data for comparable entities and comparing the range to the Company’s discount rates • recalculating the Company’s determination of its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used to determine its discount rates • reconciling the Company’s determination of its WACC to the Company’s weighted average return on assets and internal rate of return. Recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets As discussed in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets balance of $2.9 billion, net of accumulated amortization, as of December 31, 2025, consist of contractual rights to earn future management fees from the acquired investment management agreements and value associated with the acquired client relationships. The Company tests finite-lived intangible assets for impairment if events occur, or circumstances change (i.e., a triggering event), indicating that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. Management of the Company is required to make significant estimates and assumptions when evaluating finite-lived F-3 Table of Contents intangible assets for impairment. Management generally performs a qualitative review of factors including revenue growth projections, which are generally based on the amount of the fee-paying assets under management, and general economic conditions, that require judgement in deciding whether a quantitative analysis should be undertaken. We identified the assessment of the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets as a critical audit matter. Specifically, a higher degree of auditor judgment was required in evaluating the Company’s identification of whether a triggering event has occurred and whether there is an indication the carrying value of the intangible assets may not be recoverable. Changes in the assumptions related to revenue growth projections and general economic conditions could have a significant effect on the Company’s assessment of recoverability. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the finite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment process, including controls related to the identification of triggering events and over the Company’s growth projections for revenue. • We inspected management’s comparison of the initial revenue projections by year at the time of the business acquisition to current year revenue projections by year. • We evaluated the reasonableness of the revenue growth projections of the Company by comparing the projections to historical projections and actual results as well as to stated Company growth plans by strategy. • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s identification of triggering events and growth projections in revenue through inquiries with management on the effects of general macroeconomic and industry conditions considered in forming the projections, reading meeting minutes, inspecting other internal documentation such as board materials and fund products’ legal agreements, and inspecting correspondence with the product teams of each revenue division. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016.

For each Class A Share and Class B Share outstanding, the Registrant indirectly holds an equal number of GP Units. References to GP Units also include Common Units (as defined below) previously acquired and held directly or indirectly by the Registrant in connection with certain Acquisitions, as well as 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 Blue Owl Holdings (as well as Blue Owl Carry prior to the Internal Reorganization). Subject to certain restrictions, Common Units are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis for either Class A Shares (if exchanging Class C Shares or exchanging Class D Shares that will not continue to be held by a holder exchanging such shares) or Class B Shares (if exchanging Class D Shares that will continue to be held by a holder exchanging such shares). 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. 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 Unit holders 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 Blue Owl Holdings (as well as Blue Owl Carry prior to the Internal Reorganization) granted to certain members of management, employees and consultants (collectively, “Incentive Unit Grantees”) and are generally subject to vesting conditions. 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, holders of Incentive Units (“Incentive Unitholders”) are entitled to distributions in the same amount per unit as declared on GP Units and Common Units. Substantially all unvested Incentive Unitholders generally are not entitled to distributions; however, consistent with other Blue Owl Operating Group 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) 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 In February 2025, the Company’s Board authorized the repurchase of up to $ 150.0 million of Class A Shares (the “2025 Program”). Under the 2025 Program, repurchases could be made from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The 2025 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 2025 Program and (ii) February 28, 2027. 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. The following table presents Class A Shares repurchased under the 2025 Program and RSUs withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations during each of the indicated periods: Year Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2025 2024 2023 Fair value of shares purchased pursuant to the 2025 Program $ 53,694 $ — $ — Number of shares purchased pursuant to the 2025 Program 3,699,164 — — Fair value of RSUs withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations $ 79,575 $ 38,848 $ 15,450 Number of RSUs withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations 3,586,554 2,150,962 1,222,135 F-14 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Acquisitions-Related Earnouts In connection with certain Acquisitions, the Company agreed to deliver additional consideration to the sellers upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. See Note 3 and Note 10 for additional information regarding earnout arrangements for certain acquisitions. 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 tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) liability in connection with the exchanges. See the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for these amounts. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation These 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. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 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. 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 the preferred equity investment; (iii) the fair value of equity-based compensation grants; (iv) the fair values of liabilities with respect to the TRA (the portion considered contingent consideration) and earnout liabilities; (v) the estimate of future taxable income, which impacts the realizability and carrying amount of the Company’s deferred income tax assets; (vi) the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in business combinations, as well as the determination of whether amounts paid or payable represent consideration or compensation; and (vii) the qualitative and quantitative assessments of whether impairments of intangible assets and goodwill exist. Inherent in such estimates and judgments 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. Principles of Consolidation The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest based on the application of either the variable interest model or the voting interest model. An entity is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) if any of the following conditions exist: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) the holders of equity investment at risk, as a group, lack either the direct or indirect ability through voting rights or similar rights to make decisions that have a significant effect on the success of the entity or the obligation to absorb the expected losses or right to receive the expected residual returns, or (c) the voting rights of some equity investors are disproportionate to their obligation to absorb losses of the entity, their rights to receive returns from an entity or both, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights. F-15 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 The Company is required to consolidate any VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest, which is defined as having (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company does not consolidate any of the products it manages, as it does not hold any direct or indirect interests in such entities that could expose the Company to an obligation to absorb the losses or right to receive benefits that are more than insignificant to such entities. Fees that are customary and commensurate with the level of services provided by the Company, and where the Company does not hold other economic interests in the entity that would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the expected losses or returns of the entity, are not considered to be variable interests. The Company factors in all economic interests, including proportionate interests held through related parties, to determine if fees are variable interests. The Company’s interests in the products it manages are primarily in the form of management fees, performance revenues, and insignificant direct or indirect equity interests, and therefore does not have variable interests in such entities. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and continuously reconsiders that conclusion. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its direct and indirect economic interests in the entity. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively; however, if the primary beneficiary is not readily determinable, a quantitative analysis may also be performed. This analysis requires judgment, including: (1) determining whether the equity investment at risk is sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) evaluating whether the equity holders, as a group, can make decisions that have a significant effect on the success of the entity, (3) determining whether two or more parties’ equity interests should be aggregated, (4) determining whether the equity investors have proportionate voting rights to their obligations to absorb losses or rights to receive returns from an entity and (5) evaluating the nature of relationships and activities of the parties involved in determining which party within a related-party group is most closely associated with a VIE and therefore would be deemed the primary beneficiary. For entities that are not VIEs, the Company evaluates such entities (“VOEs”) under the voting interest model. The Company consolidates VOEs where the Company controls a majority voting interest. The Company will generally not consolidate VOEs where a single investor or simple majority of third-party investors with equity have the ability to exercise substantive kick-out or participation rights. Acquisitions The Acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. For business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method, the Company recognizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. The excess of purchase price consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Management’s determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date is based on the best information available in the circumstances and incorporates management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment. If the Company is still obtaining information necessary to identify and measure the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, or any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, then the Company may record provisional amounts for these items at the acquisition date. During the measurement period, which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company may adjust the provisional amounts to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers highly-rated liquid investments that have an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company holds the majority of its cash balances with a single financial institution and such balances are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits, which exposes the Company to a certain degree of credit risk concentration. F-16 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Investments Certain equity investments in the Company’s products are accounted for using the equity-method of accounting, whereby the Company recognizes its share of income in current-period earnings. Distributions, when received on these investments, generally reduce the carrying value of such investments. Investments in loans are accounted for at amortized cost, net of an allowance for current expected credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses considers current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the estimates of current expected credit losses were not material. For certain debt and equity investments in the Company’s products, the Company has elected the fair value option in order to simplify the accounting for these instruments, and therefore changes in unrealized gains or losses are included in current-period earnings. Such elections are irrevocable and are applied on an investment-by-investment basis at initial recognition. The Company has elected the fair value option for its preferred equity investment in Kuvare UK Holdings in order to simplify the accounting for this instrument, and therefore changes in unrealized gains or losses are included in current-period earnings within net gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations. Dividends compound quarterly, are payable when declared, and are included within interest and dividend income in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on investments are included within net gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4 for additional information. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The present value of lease payments includes expected tenant improvement allowances. The Company does not recognize right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of one year or less. Right-of-use assets and liabilities related to operating leases are included within operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities, respectively, in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The determination of an appropriate incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate based on data for instruments with similar characteristics, including recently issued debt, and makes adjustments for duration and collateralization features, as well as other factors. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. In addition, the Company separates lease and non-lease components embedded within lease agreements. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis, which consists of amortization of right-of-use assets and interest accretion on lease liabilities, over the lease term and included within general, administrative and other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not have any material finance leases. See Note 5 for additional information. Strategic Revenue-Share Purchase Consideration On September 20, 2021, the Company entered into certain Agreements of Purchase and Sale (the “Strategic Revenue-Share Purchase”), whereby certain fund investors relinquished their rights to receive management fee shares with respect to certain existing and future GP Strategic Capital products. F-17 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 The Company determined that it was not receiving a distinct good or service from the customers as a result of the Strategic Revenue-Share Purchase, and therefore determined that the consideration paid to the customers, substantially all of which was in the form of Class A Shares, represents a reduction of the transaction price (i.e., a reduction to revenue). Accordingly, the total consideration paid was recorded within Strategic Revenue-Share Purchase consideration in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition and is being amortized as a reduction of management fees, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9 for additional information. Intangible Assets, Net and Goodwill The Company recognized finite-lived intangible assets and goodwill as a result of the Acquisitions. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of contractual rights to earn future management fees from the acquired investment management agreements and value associated with the acquired client relationships and trademarks. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. See Note 3 for additional information. The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to identifiable intangible assets acquired at the acquisition date and the useful lives of those acquired intangible assets. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets acquired include, but are not limited to, future expected cash inflows and outflows, expected useful life and discount rates. The Company’s estimates for future cash flows are based on historical data, various internal estimates and certain external sources, and are based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying assets acquired. The Company estimates the useful lives of the intangible assets based on the expected period over which the Company anticipates generating economic benefit from the asset. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. The Company tests finite-lived intangible assets for impairment by performing a qualitative review of factors, including projections for fee-paying assets under management, revenue, and general economic conditions, that require judgment in deciding whether there is an indication that the carrying amount of intangible assets may not be recoverable. If an indication exists, a quantitative analysis would be undertaken. If an impairment exists, the Company adjusts the carrying value to equal the fair value by taking a charge through earnings. No impairments have been recognized to date on the Company’s acquired intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of consideration over identifiable net assets of an acquired business. The Company tests goodwill annually for impairment. If, after assessing qualitative factors such as projections for fee-paying assets under management, revenue and other general economic conditions, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit inclusive of goodwill is less than its carrying amount, the Company will perform a quantitative assessment to determine whether an impairment exists. If an impairment exists, the Company adjusts the carrying value of goodwill so that the carrying value of the reporting unit is equal to its fair value by taking a charge through earnings. The Company also tests goodwill for impairment in other periods if an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more-likely-than-not to reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. See Note 3 for additional information. Fixed Assets Fixed assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and are included within other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. Fixed assets are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis, with the corresponding depreciation and amortization expense included within general, administrative and other expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The estimated useful life for leasehold improvements is the lesser of the remaining lease term or the life of the asset, while other fixed assets are generally depreciated over a period of three years to seven years . The Company tests fixed assets for impairment if events or circumstances change indicating that the carrying amount of a fixed asset may not be recoverable. F-18 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Debt Obligations, Net The Company’s debt obligations, other than revolving credit facilities, are recorded at amortized cost, net of any debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums. Debt issuance costs are deferred and along with discounts and premiums are amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the life of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method. Unamortized debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums are written off to net losses on retirement of debt in the consolidated statements of operations when the Company prepays borrowings prior to maturity. Debt issuance costs associated with revolving credit facilities are presented within other assets, net in the consolidated statements of financial condition, and such amounts are amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the life of the related facility. TRA Liability The TRA liability represents amounts payable to certain pre-Business Combination equity holders of the combined businesses of Blue Owl Capital Group LLC (formerly, Owl Rock Capital Group LLC) and Blue Owl Securities LLC (formerly, Owl Rock Capital Securities LLC) (collectively, “Owl Rock”) and Dyal Capital. The portion of the TRA liability related to the Dyal Acquisition is deemed contingent consideration payable to the previous owners of Dyal Capital, and therefore is carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported within other loss in the consolidated statements of operations. The remaining portion of the TRA liability is carried at a value equal to the expected future payments due under the TRA. The Company recorded its initial estimate of future payments under the TRA portion that is not related to the Dyal Acquisition, including as a result of exchanges of Common Units for Class A or B Shares, as a decrease to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Subsequent adjustments to the liability for future payments under the TRA related to changes in estimated future tax rates or state income tax apportionment are recognized through current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 11 for additional information. Warrant Liability, at Fair Value The Company’s warrants were recorded as liabilities carried at fair value, with changes in fair value included within other loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company had warrants outstanding that were issued in connection with the Business Combination (“Private Placement Warrants”). The Private Placement Warrants, which were exercised in November 2024 and resulted in the issuance of 2.6 million Class A Shares, contained exercise and settlement features that may have changed with a change in the holder, which precluded the Private Placement Warrants from being considered indexed to the Company’s own stock; therefore, the Private Placement Warrants were precluded from being classified within equity and were accounted for as derivative liabilities. Earnout Liability, at Fair Value As of December 31, 2025, the earnout liability was comprised of the Prima Earnouts, KAM Earnouts and Atalaya Earnouts (each as defined in Note 3) (collectively, the “Earnouts”). As of December 31, 2024, the earnout liability was comprised of the Wellfleet Earnout Shares (as defined in Note 10), Prima Earnouts, KAM Earnouts and Atalaya Earnouts. The Earnouts represent contingent consideration on each respective acquisition, and are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value included within change in earnout liability in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Earnout liabilities are derecognized when the relevant contingencies are resolved and the consideration is paid or if the contingencies are not resolved (e.g., not meeting relevant targets) and the obligations expire and upon expiration, the consideration would not be paid or payable. Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests are primarily comprised of Common Units, which are interests in the Blue Owl Operating Group not held by the Company. Certain consolidated holding companies for investment adviser subsidiaries of the Blue Owl Operating Group are partially owned by third-party investors. Such interests are also presented as noncontrolling interests. F-19 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Allocations to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of operations are based on the substantive profit-sharing arrangements in the Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreements. The Company does not record income or loss allocations to noncontrolling interests to the extent that such allocations would be provisional in nature, such as for unvested Incentive Units (other than certain minimum tax distributions). Provisional allocations to these interests would be subject to reversal in the event the unvested Incentive Units are forfeited . Revenue Recognition Revenues consist of management fees; administrative, transaction and other fees; and performance revenues. The Company recognizes revenues when it is probable that a significant reversal of such amounts would not occur. The Company recognizes revenue at the time of transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services (i.e., the transaction price). Under this method, revenue is based on a contract with a determinable transaction price and distinct performance obligations with probable collectability. Revenues cannot be recognized until the performance obligations are satisfied and control is transferred to the customer. Payments made to the Company’s customers or customers-of-customers, such as certain revenue sharing arrangements and incentives paid to customers, are generally viewed as a reduction of the transaction price and therefore reduce management fees from such customers. See Note 9 for additional information. Management Fees, Net Management fees are recognized over the period in which the investment management services are performed because customers simultaneously consume and receive benefits continuously over time. Payment terms and fee rates of management fees vary by product but are generally collected on a quarterly basis and are not subject to clawback. Management fees for the Company’s business development company (“BDC”) and interval fund products (“Regulated Products”) are typically based on a percentage of average fair value of gross assets (in some cases, excluding cash) or net asset value. Management fees for the Company’s CLOs are generally based on the outstanding par value of the underlying collateral and recognized over time as the services are rendered. For the Company’s other Credit products, management fees are typically based on gross or net asset value or investment cost, and also may include uncalled capital. Management fees also include a fee based on the net investment income of the Company’s Regulated Products and similarly structured products (“Part I Fees”), which are subject to performance hurdles. Such Part I Fees are classified as management fees in the consolidated statements of operations as they are predictable and recurring in nature, not subject to repayment and cash-settled each quarter. Management fees for the Company’s Real Assets products are generally based on either a percentage of capital committed and/or called during the investment period, and thereafter generally based on the cost of unrealized investments, or net asset value. Management fees for the Company’s GP minority stakes strategy are generally based on a percentage of capital committed during the investment period, and thereafter generally based on the cost of unrealized investments. For the other GP Strategic Capital strategies, management fees are generally determined based on a percentage of investment cost. Management fees, including Part I Fees, are generally cash settled every quarter and not subject to repayment, and therefore uncertainty underlying these fees are resolved each quarter. As such, on a quarterly basis, a subsequent significant reversal in relation to the cumulative revenue recognized is not probable for the quarter in arrears. As discussed above, amortization of the Strategic Revenue-Share Purchase consideration is recorded as a reduction of management fees, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Administrative, Transaction and Other Fees Administrative, transaction and other fees primarily include fee income, administrative fees and dealer manager revenue. F-20 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Fee income is earned for services provided to portfolio companies, which may include arrangement, syndication, origination, structuring analysis, capital structure and business plan advice and other services. The fees are generally recognized as income at the point in time when the services rendered are completed, as there is no ongoing performance requirement. The Company incurs certain costs in connection with satisfying its performance obligations under administrative agreements – including, but not limited to, employee compensation and travel costs – for which it receives reimbursements from the products it manages. The Company reports these costs within compensation and benefits and general, administrative and other expenses and reports the related reimbursements as revenues within administrative, transaction and other fees (i.e., on a gross basis) in the consolidated statements of operations. Dealer manager revenue consists of commissions earned for providing distribution services to certain products. Dealer manager revenue is recorded on an accrual basis at the point in time when the services are completed, as there is no ongoing performance requirement. A portion of dealer manager revenues represent commissions that are reallowed to third party broker-dealers. The Company reports these reallowed commission payments to third parties within general, administrative and other expenses (i.e., on a gross basis) in the consolidated statements of operations. Performance Revenues The Company is entitled to receive certain performance revenues in the form of performance fees and carried interest from the products that it manages. Performance revenues are based on the product investment performance generated over time, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels in certain products. Performance revenues from the Company’s BDCs and certain other products are realized at the end of a measurement period, typically quarterly or annually. Once realized, such performance revenues are no longer subject to reversal. For certain non-Regulated Product Credit and Real Assets products, and substantially all GP Strategic Capital products, performance revenues are in the form of carried interest that is allocated to the Company based on cumulative fund performance over time, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels in certain products. The Company recognizes carried interest only to the extent that it is not probable that a significant reversal will occur for amounts recognized. Generally, carried interest is earned after a return of all contributions and may be subject to a preferred return to investors; however, the Company is able to catch-up amounts subject to the preferred return in certain cases. Substantially all of the carried interest generated by the Company’s products is allocable to investors, including certain related parties, through vehicles in which the Company does not have investment or decision-making rights; therefore, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in or consolidate these vehicles. Compensation and Benefits Cash-Based Compensation Compensation and benefits consist of salaries, bonuses, commissions, long-term deferral programs, benefits and payroll taxes. Compensation is accrued over the related service period. Equity-Based Compensation Equity-based compensation awards are reviewed to determine whether such awards are equity-classified or liability-classified. Compensation expense related to equity-classified awards is equal to their grant-date fair value and generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ requisite service period. For grants to non-employee service providers, the Company recognizes the total estimated expense over the expected substantive service period, in a manner consistent with the recognition of such expenses if the payments were made in cash. When certain settlement features require an award to be liability-classified, compensation expense is recognized over the service period, and such amount is adjusted at each balance sheet date through the settlement date to the then current fair value of such award. F-21 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 The Company accounts for forfeitures on equity-based compensation arrangements as they occur. The Company recognizes deferred income tax benefits throughout the service period, based on the grant date fair value. Any tax deduction shortfall or windfall due to the difference between grant date fair value and the ultimate deduction taken for tax purposes is recognized at the time of settlement. Expenses related to equity-based grants to employees are included within compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 10 for additional information. Foreign Currency The functional currency of the Company’s foreign consolidated subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, as their operations are considered extensions of U.S. parent operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the historical exchange rate. The profit or loss arising from foreign currency transactions are remeasured using the rate in effect on the date of any relevant transaction. Gains and losses on transactions denominated in foreign currencies due to changes in exchange rates are recorded within general, administrative and other expenses. Income Taxes Substantially all of the earnings of the Blue Owl Operating Group are subject to New York City unincorporated business tax (“UBT”) and additionally, the portion of earnings allocable to the Registrant is subject to corporate tax rates at the U.S. federal and state and local levels. The Company is also subject to income tax in certain foreign jurisdictions in which it conducts business. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences between the GAAP and tax bases of assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities for presentation in its consolidated statements of financial condition when such assets and liabilities are within the same taxpayer and related to the same taxing jurisdiction. The realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under the enacted tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance is established when management determines, based on available information, that it is more-likely-than-not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining whether a valuation allowance should be established, as well as the amount of such valuation allowance. The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions when it is not more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The Company accrues any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 11 for additional information. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income represents the change in equity during a period from recognized transactions other than from transactions with owners. In the accompanying Financial Statements, comprehensive income is comprised of (i) consolidated net income, as presented in the consolidated statements of operations and (ii) all components of other comprehensive income. The Company’s other comprehensive income is comprised of gains and losses on derivative instruments that have been designated as cash flow hedges. The Company has designated foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with certain transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. The changes in the fair value of the designated forward contracts are initially reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. The reclassified amounts from OCI are presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged items. Cash flows associated with these cash flow hedges, which do not include an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception, and only have a financing element inherently included in an at-the- F-22 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 market derivative instrument with no prepayments, are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. These cash flow hedges are not material to the Financial Statements. Segment Reporting The Company operates through one operating and reportable segment that provides asset management services to clients. The Company’s, and therefore the single segment’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 accounting policies of the segment are consistent with the policies described within this Note 2. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) are its Co-CEOs. The Company concluded that it has a single operating segment, as this reflects how the CODMs allocate resources and assess performance under the Company’s “one-firm approach,” which includes operating collaboratively across product lines, with a single expense pool. GAAP consolidated net income is the primary measure of segment operating performance. The CODMs also utilize other supplemental measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP to manage the business and allocate resources, such as budgeting and to assess the operating results of the Company’s business. The measure of segment assets is reported in the consolidated statement of financial condition, as the firm is managed on a consolidated basis. Significant Segment Expenses The significant expense categories that are regularly reviewed by the CODMs are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and include: 1. Compensation and benefits: This line item encompasses all employee-related costs, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits. 2. General, administrative and other expenses: This category includes costs related to office operations, professional services, and other administrative expenses. 3. Interest expense: This line item reflects the cost of servicing our debt obligations. F-23 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 New Accounting Pronouncements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“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 material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements upon adoption. Standard Description Effective Date and Method of Adoption Impact on Financial Statements 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 adopted the ASU retrospectively beginning with the 2025 Form 10-K. As a result of adopting this standard, the Company included enhanced income tax disclosures that present consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, income before income taxes disaggregated by jurisdiction, and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2024-03 & ASU 2025-01 —Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses The ASU requires additional disclosures of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The guidance requires footnote disclosures in a tabular format, disaggregating certain costs and expenses that include any of the following expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depletion. All public business entities are required to adopt the ASU prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company plans to adopt the ASU beginning with the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. The guidance is expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements presentation and disclosure because the relevant expenses are disaggregated in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET IPI Acquisition The following table presents the consideration and net identifiable assets acquired and goodwill related to the IPI Acquisition: (dollars in thousands) Consideration Equity consideration (1) $ 922,174 Cash consideration (2) 243,434 Earnout liability 140,083 Total Consideration $ 1,305,691 Net Identifiable Assets Acquired and Goodwill Assets acquired: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,107 Due from related parties 40,550 Intangible assets: Investment management agreements 240,000 Investor relationships 105,000 Total intangible assets 345,000 Other assets, net 1,448 Total assets acquired 388,105 Liabilities assumed: Accrued compensation 227 Operating lease liabilities 982 Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities 5,040 Total liabilities assumed 6,249 Net Identifiable Assets Acquired $ 381,856 Goodwill (3) $ 923,835 (1) Represents Common Units issued to sellers. (2) Includes $ 39.9 million of cash consideration paid in the second quarter of 2025. (3) Goodwill represents the amount of total consideration in excess of net identifiable assets acquired. Approximately $ 199.4 million of the goodwill and intangible assets recognized are expected to be deductible by the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships for tax purposes. The acquired investment management agreements and investor relationships had weighted-average amortization periods of 5.5 years and 11.3 years, respectively, from the date of acquisition. IPI’s results are included in the Company’s consolidated results starting from the date the acquisition closed, January 3, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s consolidated results included $ 164.6 million of GAAP revenues related to the acquired business. Given the Company operates through one operating and reportable segment, the impact of the IPI Acquisition to GAAP consolidated net income is not tracked on a standalone basis. The Company incurred $ 17.4 million and $ 8.6 million of acquisition-related costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which costs were included within general, administrative and other expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. F-25 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 IPI Earnouts The earnout liability accrued in connection with the IPI Acquisition was contingent upon additional commitments to Blue Owl Digital Infrastructure Fund III (“ODI III”) and was based on the size of these commitments. A portion of this liability pertained to the pro-rated catch-up management fees earned with each subsequent close. These catch-up fees were collected by the Company and then paid to the sellers during the second quarter of 2025, after the final close of ODI III. The remaining earnout liability represented the fair value of additional Common Units the Company issued to the sellers (the “IPI Subsequent Payment”), the value of which was also contingent on the additional commitments to ODI III. The earnout liability related to the IPI Acquisition, including the IPI Subsequent Payment, was settled during the second quarter of 2025. Atalaya Acquisition The following table presents the consideration and net identifiable assets acquired and goodwill related to the Atalaya Acquisition: (dollars in thousands) Consideration Equity consideration (1)(2) $ 385,108 Cash consideration (1)(3) 105,666 Earnout liability (4) 15,000 Total Consideration $ 505,774 Net Identifiable Assets Acquired and Goodwill Assets acquired: Due from related parties $ 4,510 Intangible assets: Investment management agreements 365,000 Investor relationships 10,000 Total intangible assets 375,000 Other assets, net 472 Total assets acquired 379,982 Liabilities assumed: Deferred tax liabilities 4,831 Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities 2,317 Total liabilities assumed 7,148 Net Identifiable Assets Acquired $ 372,834 Goodwill (5) $ 132,940 (1) A product managed by the Company received 20 % of the consideration paid as a result of a passive, minority stake it held in the business acquired. (2) Represents Common Units issued to sellers at fair value, which was based on the price of the Company’s Class A Shares, as Common Units are exchangeable on a one-to-one basis for Class A Shares. (3) Includes $ 3.5 million of cash consideration paid in January 2025. (4) Represents the fair value of contingent consideration payable to a product managed by the Company related to the Atalaya Earnouts. (5) Goodwill represents the amount of total consideration in excess of net identifiable assets acquired. Approximately $ 100.7 million of the goodwill and intangible assets recognized are expected to be deductible by the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships for tax purposes. The acquired investment management agreements and investor relationships had a weighted-average amortization period of 13.9 years and 7.2 years, respectively, from the date of acquisition. F-26 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Atalaya’s results are included in the Company’s consolidated results starting from the date the acquisition closed, September 30, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s consolidated results included $ 19.8 million of GAAP revenues related to the acquired business. Given the Company operates through one operating and reportable segment, the impact of the Atalaya Acquisition to GAAP consolidated net income is not tracked on a standalone basis. The Company incurred $ 16.1 million of acquisition-related costs, which costs were included within general, administrative and other expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. Atalaya Earnouts As part of the Atalaya Acquisition, sellers can receive up to $ 350.0 million in additional payments (the “Atalaya Earnouts”) if the acquired business meets certain revenue milestones in 2026 and 2028 (each milestone achievement being an “Atalaya Triggering Event”). These payments are split into two parts: up to $ 175.0 million in 2027 based on 2026 revenues, and up to $ 175.0 million in 2029 based on 2028 revenues. If the 2027 payment is less than $ 175.0 million, there is a catch-up mechanism. If total payments exceed $ 175.0 million, at least $ 50.0 million (or any remaining unpaid amount) will be reallocated to non-seller employees as RSUs. As of December 31, 2025, the Company expects total payments to exceed this threshold, and therefore it estimates that earnout payments to sellers will be reduced by $ 50.0 million due to the reallocation. The Atalaya Earnouts will be paid in Common Units with a corresponding number of Class C Shares. Approximately 20 % of these payments will go to a product managed by the Company and are considered contingent consideration. The remaining 80 % will be payable to sellers subject to ongoing employment arrangements with the Company, and as such, these amounts have been classified as equity-based compensation. The $ 50.0 million that may be reallocated to non-seller employees as RSUs will also be classified as equity-based compensation. See Note 10 for more details on these compensation-classified equity-based payments. F-27 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 KAM Acquisition The following table presents the consideration and net identifiable assets acquired and goodwill related to the KAM Acquisition: (dollars in thousands) Consideration Equity consideration (1) $ 417,474 Cash consideration (2) 322,747 Earnout consideration (3) 102,000 Total Consideration $ 842,221 Net Identifiable Assets Acquired and Goodwill Assets acquired: Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,741 Deferred tax assets 1,749 Intangible assets - Investment management agreements 568,000 Other assets, net 8,307 Total assets acquired 588,797 Liabilities assumed: Accrued compensation 6,180 Deferred tax liabilities 3,364 Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities 5,121 Total liabilities assumed 14,665 Net Identifiable Assets Acquired $ 574,132 Goodwill (4) $ 268,089 (1) Represents Class A Shares issued to KAM selling stockholders. (2) Includes cash consideration paid for seller-related transaction expenses and indebtedness. (3) Represents the fair value of contingent consideration payable to sellers related to the KAM Earnouts. (4) Goodwill represents the amount of total consideration in excess of net identifiable assets acquired. Approximately $ 531.0 million of the goodwill and intangible assets recognized are expected to be deductible by the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships for tax purposes. The acquired investment management agreements had a weighted-average amortization period of 15.6 years from the date of acquisition. KAM’s results are included in the Company’s consolidated results starting from the date the acquisition closed, July 1, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s consolidated results included $ 37.8 million of GAAP revenues related to the acquired business. Given the Company operates through one operating and reportable segment, the impact of the KAM Acquisition to GAAP consolidated net income is not tracked on a standalone basis. The Company incurred $ 37.6 million of acquisition-related costs, which costs were included within general, administrative and other expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. KAM Earnouts In connection with the KAM Acquisition, the sellers are entitled to receive additional consideration of up to $ 250.0 million (the “KAM Earnouts”), based on the acquired business achieving specified revenue growth milestones in each of calendar years 2025, 2026 and 2027 (each, a “KAM Earnout Period”). The KAM Earnouts will be paid in cash following the conclusion of each respective KAM Earnout Period. The Company expects to make its first payment of approximately $ 59.3 million in 2026 related to the 2025 KAM Earnout Period. F-28 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc.

(2) Includes cash consideration paid for seller-related transaction expenses and indebtedness. (3) Represents the fair value of contingent consideration payable to sellers related to the Prima Earnouts. (4) Goodwill represents the amount of total consideration in excess of net identifiable assets acquired. Approximately $ 14.0 million of the goodwill and intangible assets recognized are expected to be deductible by the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships for tax purposes. The acquired investment management agreements had a weighted-average amortization period of 11.4 years from the date of acquisition. Prima’s results are included in the Company’s consolidated results starting from the date the acquisition closed, June 6, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s consolidated results included $ 11.2 million of GAAP revenues related to the acquired business. Given the Company operates through one operating and reportable segment, the impact of the Prima Acquisition to GAAP consolidated net income is not tracked on a standalone basis. The Company incurred $ 9.4 million of acquisition-related costs, which costs were included within general, administrative and other expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. F-29 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Prima Earnouts In connection with the Prima Acquisition, the sellers are entitled to receive additional consideration of up to $ 35.0 million (determined using a share price that was fixed at signing) (the “Prima Earnouts”), based on the performance of the acquired business during the earnout period, which period extends from the closing date to the fourth anniversary of the closing (the “Prima Earnout Period”). Earnout payments are contingent on the acquired business achieving specified revenue milestones during any rolling 12-month period within the Prima Earnout Period (the achievement of any such milestone, a “Prima Triggering Event”). The Prima Earnouts will be settled in Class A Shares and Common Units with corresponding Class C Shares. CHI Acquisition The following table presents the consideration, net identifiable assets acquired and bargain purchase gain related to the CHI Acquisition: (dollars in thousands) Consideration Cash Consideration $ 20 Net Identifiable Assets Acquired Assets acquired: Investments $ 20 Intangible assets: Investment management agreements 5,200 Investor relationships 800 Other assets, net 1,791 Total assets acquired 7,811 Liabilities assumed: Accrued expenses 300 Deferred revenue 1,491 Total liabilities assumed 1,791 Net Identifiable Assets Acquired $ 6,020 Bargain Purchase Gain $ ( 6,000 ) The acquired investment management agreements and investor relationships had weighted amortization periods from the date of acquisition of 3.2 years and 0.7 years, respectively.

Unaudited pro forma net income attributable to Class A stockholders was $ 78.8 million and $ 125.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This pro forma financial information was computed by combining the historical financial information of the Company and the IPI Acquisition as though such acquisition was consummated on January 1, 2024, and the Atalaya, KAM and Prima Acquisitions as though such acquisitions were consummated on January 1, 2023. These pro forma amounts assume a consistent ownership structure, annual effective tax rates and amortization of the fair value of acquired assets as of each respective acquisition date. The pro forma information does not reflect the potential benefits of cost and funding synergies, opportunities to earn additional revenues, or other factors, and therefore does not represent what the actual revenues and net income would have been had the businesses actually been combined as of the dates above.

INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES The following table presents the components of the Company’s investments: (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Preferred equity investment, at fair value $ 290,594 $ 267,169 Equity investments in the Company’s products, equity method 67,391 63,465 Loans and deferred purchase price receivable, at amortized cost (includes $ 27,797 and $ 48,094 in the Company’s products, respectively) 58,845 54,186 Equity investments in the Company’s products, at fair value 61,906 96,956 Investments in the Company’s CLOs, at fair value 5,653 5,169 Total $ 484,389 $ 486,945 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 judgment 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. F-33 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc.

The key inputs in this model include the projected cash flows attributable to the preferred interest and the discount rate. The expected cash flows are based on management’s forecasts and projections, taking into consideration market conditions and redemption of the preferred interest. The discount rate applied reflects the time value of money and the risks associated with the preferred interest, which includes assumptions about the risk-free rate, credit risk, and market volatility. This investment is generally classified as Level 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. F-35 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 CLOs The fair value of CLOs is 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 liability 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. Earnout Liability As of December 31, 2025, the earnout liability was comprised of contingent consideration payable for the Prima Earnouts, KAM Earnouts and Atalaya Earnouts (each as defined in Note 3). As of December 31, 2024, the earnout liability was comprised of contingent consideration payable for the Wellfleet Earnout Shares (defined in Note 10), Prima Earnouts, KAM Earnouts and Atalaya Earnouts. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to value certain earnouts where revenue milestones need to be achieved before a payment is due. These models consider current progress towards revenue targets, as well as forecasts, to simulate a range of outcomes based on market inputs such as volatility.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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 years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company made TRA payments of $ 53.5 million and $ 28.2 million, respectively, inclusive of interest, and including $ 4.8 million and $ 2.8 million, respectively, paid to related parties. The table below presents management’s estimate as of December 31, 2025, 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.

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 December 31, 2025, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements. F-42 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Litigation From time to time, the Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business.

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION The Company grants equity-based compensation awards in the form of RSUs and Incentive Units to its management, employees, consultants and independent members of the Board under the Second Amended and Restated Blue Owl Capital Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, approved by stockholders on June 13, 2024 and further amended on April 1, 2025 (the “2021 Omnibus Plan”).

To the extent that an award expires or is canceled, forfeited, terminated, surrendered, exchanged or withheld to cover tax withholding obligations, the unissued awards will again be available for grant under the 2021 Omnibus Plan. The 2021 Omnibus Plan features an “evergreen” provision that provides for an automatic increase to the total number of Class A Shares subject to the 2021 Omnibus Plan on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in calendar year 2025, and ending in and including 2034, by a number of Class A Shares equal to the positive difference, if any, of (a) 5 % of the aggregate number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares, in each case, outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year (assuming that all Blue Owl Operating Group Units have converted on a one -for-one basis into Class A Shares) minus (b) the aggregate number of shares that were available for the issuance of future awards under the 2021 Omnibus Plan on such last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, unless the administrator should decide to increase the number of shares covered by the 2021 Omnibus Plan by a lesser amount on any such date.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of Incentive Units granted during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $ 16.49 , $ 19.47 and $ 11.27 , respectively. The aggregate fair value of Incentive Units that vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $ 325.5 million, $ 281.9 million and $ 100.1 million, respectively. The equity-based compensation expense related to Incentive Units during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $ 274.4 million, $ 212.5 million and $175.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, unamortized expense related to Incentive Units was $ 148.6 million, with a weighted-average amortization period of 2.6 years. RSUs The grant date fair value of RSUs was determined using the Company’s Class A Share price on the grant date, adjusted for the lack of dividend participation during the vesting period, and as applicable a discount of 6.5 % during 2025, 6.0 % - 11.5 % during 2024 and 6.0 % - 8.5 % during 2023 for lack of marketability on RSUs that are subject to a one-year post-vesting transfer restriction. The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $ 14.03 , $ 20.85 and $ 12.01 , respectively. The aggregate fair value of RSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $ 40.2 million, $ 72.5 million and $ 44.5 million, respectively, which amounts are inclusive of RSUs that vested and have not yet been settled in Class A Shares. The equity-based compensation expense related to RSUs during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $ 122.3 million, $ 79.0 million and $ 52.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, unamortized expense related to RSUs was $ 354.9 million, with a weighted-average amortization period of 2.7 years. Services Agreement Under the terms of the Services Agreement, ICONIQ will receive Incentive Units as compensation for the services performed. The Incentive Units will be issued in two tranches. The first tranche, consisting of 14,175,000 Incentive Units, is expected to be issued in 2026, contingent upon achieving certain future targets outlined in the Services Agreement. The grant date fair value of these Incentive Units was $ 319.5 million, or $ 22.54 per unit, determined based on the Company’s Class A Share price, adjusted for the lack of dividend participation during the service period prior to issuance. The second tranche of Incentive Units is expected to be issued in 2028, contingent upon achieving certain future targets outlined in the Services Agreement. The estimated value of these additional Incentive Units, which assumes total commitments of $ 10.0 billion for the next vintage drawdown digital infrastructure product, was approximately $ 464.2 million as of December 31, 2025. Incentive Units issued under this agreement will be fully vested upon issuance. The Company is recognizing the total estimated expense related to the Services Agreement over the expected substantive service period, in a manner consistent with the recognition of such expenses if the payments were made in cash. Such expenses are included within the acquisition related line F-46 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 item in the table above and within general, administrative and other expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025, unamortized expense related to the Services Agreement was $ 550.1 million, with a remaining amortization period of 2.5 years. Atalaya Earnouts As discussed in Note 3, approximately 80 % of the Atalaya Earnouts will be paid in Common Units and corresponding Class C Shares to sellers subject to ongoing employment arrangements with the Company. This portion of the Atalaya Earnouts has been classified as equity-based compensation. Upon an Atalaya Triggering Event, any issued Common Units and Class C Shares are fully vested (i.e., no substantive vesting period following the grant date). Accordingly, the Company has begun accruing compensation expense over the service period preceding the grant date, based on the fair value of the award at the end of the reporting period, and will remeasure until the grant date. As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of these awards was $ 142.2 million, including an 11.5 % discount for lack of marketability due to a two-year post-vesting transfer restriction. As of December 31, 2025, unamortized expense related to these awards was $ 83.7 million, with a weighted-average amortization period of 2.3 years. Oak Street Earnout Units On December 29, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Oak Street Real Estate Capital, LLC, now, Blue Owl Real Estate Capital LLC (“Oak Street”), a diversified real estate investment firm, and its advisory business (the “Oak Street Acquisition”). In connection with the Oak Street Acquisition, the Company agreed to make additional payments of cash and Common Units and corresponding Class C Shares (collectively, the “Oak Street Earnout Units”). The grant date fair value of the Oak Street Earnout Units was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, with the following weighted average assumptions: annualized revenue volatility of 38 %, revenue discount rate of 15 %, discount for lack of marketability of 13 % and expected holding period of approximately 2.0 years. In January 2023, the Oak Street Earnout Units triggering event occurred with respect to the first tranche of the Oak Street Earnout Units (the “First Oak Street Earnouts”). In January 2024, the Oak Street Earnout Units triggering event occurred with respect to the second tranche of the Oak Street Earnout Units (the “Second Oak Street Earnouts”). Wellfleet Earnout Shares On April 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Wellfleet Credit Partners, LLC, now, Blue Owl Liquid Credit Advisors LLC (“Wellfleet”), a manager of collateralized loan obligations (the “Wellfleet Acquisition”). In connection with the Wellfleet Acquisition, the Company agreed to make additional payments of cash and Class A Shares (the “Wellfleet Earnout Shares”). The grant date fair value of the Wellfleet Earnout Shares treated as compensation was determined using the Company’s Class A Share price on the grant date, adjusted for the lack of dividend participation during the vesting period. In April 2023, the Company modified its purchase agreement with the Wellfleet sellers, such that Wellfleet Earnout Shares will be delivered in cash in lieu of Wellfleet Earnout Shares. As a result of the modification, the second and third tranches of the Wellfleet Earnout Shares were changed from equity-classified to liability-classified on the modification date with the liability recorded at fair value at each reporting period, with the related expense subject to a floor equal to the original grant date fair value. The first tranche of the Wellfleet earnout vested and was cash settled in April 2023 and such settlement was treated as a cash settlement of an equity-classified arrangement. In April 2024, the Wellfleet triggering event occurred with respect to the second tranche of the Wellfleet Earnout Shares. In April 2025, the Wellfleet triggering event occurred with respect to the third tranche of the Wellfleet Earnout Shares F-47 Table of Contents Blue Owl Capital Inc.

INCOME TAXES The Company’s income tax provision and related income tax assets and liabilities are based on, among other things, an estimate of the impact of the 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 and cannot be finally determined until the Company’s 2025 tax returns have been filed. 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 subject to New York City UBT. Generally all of the income the Registrant earns will be subject to corporate-level income taxes in the United States.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets 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. The Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that its deferred tax assets will be realized based on historic and projected earnings and the reversal of taxable temporary differences. As of December 31, 2025 and 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 will 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 2021. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest expense and penalties, were $ 16.5 million. If recognized, $ 16.5 million would reduce the effective tax rate. For the year ended December 31, 2025, interest and penalties on these unrecognized tax benefits of $ 1.0 million has been accrued through income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

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 will 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 changes in stockholders’ equity for these amounts.

(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 attributable to Blue Owl Capital Inc. 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, the Wellfleet Earnout Shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2025 (4) As of December 31, 2025, the Prima Triggering Event (defined in Note 3) with respect to the Prima Earnouts had not occurred, and therefore the portion of such earnouts payable in Class A Shares have not been included in the calculation of basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2025. Had December 31, 2025 also been the end of the contingency period for the Prima Earnouts, the Prima Triggering Event would have not occurred, and therefore the Prima Earnouts have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2025. (5) The if-converted method for these instruments includes adding back to the numerator any related income or loss allocations to noncontrolling interests, as well as any incremental tax expense or benefit had the instruments converted into Class A Shares as of the beginning of the period. (6) The First Oak Street Earnouts and the Second Oak Street Earnouts were settled in Common Units during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Had December 31, 2025 also been the end of the contingency period, the contingencies related to the Services Agreement would not have yet been resolved, and therefore the Incentive Units issuable under the Services Agreement have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2025. (9) As of December 31, 2025, the contingencies related to the IPI Subsequent Payment have been resolved, as the related Common Units were issued during the three months ended June 30, 2025, and therefore the Common Units related to the IPI Subsequent Payment have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied.
