KKR & Co. L.P. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Results
Posted on February 07, 2013 at 08:00 AM EST

KKR & Co. L.P. (NYSE: KKR) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2012 results.

For the fourth quarter and full year 2012, the carrying value of KKR’s private equity investment portfolio appreciated 4.0% and 23.8%, respectively, driving meaningful ENI.

ENI was $347.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $62.2 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net carried interest earned from our investment funds. ENI was $2,130.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $1,380.0 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a higher level of appreciation in the carrying value of our principal investments and greater net carried interest earned from our investment funds.

Total distributable earnings was $546.3 million and $1,449.4 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012, respectively, an increase of $399.8 million and $666.8 million from the comparable periods in 2011. The increase in both comparative periods is due to a higher level of realization activity in our private equity investment portfolio.

On October 1, 2012, we closed our acquisition of Prisma Capital Partners LP and its affiliates (“Prisma”), a leading provider of customized hedge fund solutions. Prisma’s results have been reported as part of our Public Markets segment in the fourth quarter of 2012. As of December 31, 2012, Prisma had $8.5 billion of assets under management.

AUM was $75.5 billion as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $9.2 billion, or 13.9%, compared to AUM of $66.3 billion as of September 30, 2012. Fee paying assets under management (“FPAUM”) was $60.8 billion as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $10.5 billion, or 20.9%, compared to FPAUM of $50.3 billion as of September 30, 2012. The increases in both AUM and FPAUM were primarily attributable to new capital from the acquisition of Prisma and to a lesser extent new capital raised and appreciation in the fair value of our investment vehicles. The increases were partially offset by distributions to limited partners of our investment funds. Neither AUM nor FPAUM include $4.0 biillion (includes general partner commitment) of capital raised for our second Asian private equity fund.

On January 23, 2013, we announced the acquisition of a 24.9% interest in Nephila Capital Ltd. (“Nephila”). Nephila is a leading investment manager that offers a broad range of investment products focusing on reinsurance risk, investing in instruments such as insurance-linked securities, catastrophe bonds, and weather derivatives. Nephila has assets under management of approximately $8 billion as of January 1, 2013 and has been managing institutional assets in this space since it was founded in 1998. This strategic partnership increases our breadth of liquid product offerings through a strategy which is uncorrelated to the global financial markets relative to other asset classes. Nephila’s assets under management are not included in KKR’s results.

“Our private equity portfolio and our balance sheet both appreciated 24% in 2012, outperforming the S&P 500 and MSCI World indices by over 700 basis points,” said Henry R. Kravis and George R. Roberts, Co-Chairmen and Co-Chief Executive Officers of KKR. “In addition, in 2012 we completed transactions which returned over $9 billion to all investors in our private equity funds and co-investment vehicles, the highest figure in our 36-year history, and contributed to a record annual distribution of $1.22 per common unit. We are pleased with our results.”

Note: Certain financial measures, including FRE, ENI, after-tax ENI, after-tax ENI per adjusted unit, fee related EBITDA, book value, cash and short-term investments and adjusted units, are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See Exhibits A and B for a reconciliation of such measures to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. See calculation and reconciliation of total distributable earnings under “Distribution Calculation.”

GAAP RESULTS

GAAP results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 included net income attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. of $96.7 million and $560.8 million, respectively, and net income attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. per common unit of $0.36 and $2.21, respectively, on a diluted basis. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, net income attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. was $46.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and net income attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. per common unit was $0.20 and $0.01, respectively, on a diluted basis. The increases in both comparable periods were primarily due to a greater level of investment appreciation for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in investment appreciation, which is recorded in net gains (losses) from investment activities, was partially offset by an increase in compensation and benefits expense

SEGMENT RESULTS

Private Markets

AUM was $49.1 billion as of December 31, 2012, a decrease of $0.7 billion, or 1.4%, compared to AUM of $49.8 billion as of September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to distributions to the limited partners of our private equity funds arising from realizations. The decrease was partially offset by the appreciation in the fair value of our private equity portfolio and new capital raised.

FPAUM was $41.2 billion as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.8 billion, or 2.0%, compared to FPAUM of $40.4 billion as of September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to new capital raised, partially offset by distributions to the limited partners of our private equity funds arising from realizations.

FRE was $32.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $24.6 million, or 43.2%, compared to FRE of $57.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was principally attributable to (i) a lower level of transaction fees during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, as a result of closing relatively smaller transaction fee-generating investments, which in turn produced lower transaction fees and (ii) higher compensation expense in connection with increased headcount. The decrease was partially offset by a higher level of monitoring fees as a result of new monitoring agreements with portfolio companies acquired over the past year.

FRE was $151.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $75.6 million, or 33.4%, compared to FRE of $226.6 million for year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) a lower level of transaction fees during the year ended December 31, 2012 as a result of closing relatively smaller transaction fee-generating investments, which in turn produced lower transaction fees; (ii) lower monitoring fees as a result of $76.6 million of termination payments on monitoring agreements with three portfolio companies during the year ended December 31, 2011, which increased FRE by $39.7 million net of associated fee credits and (iii) higher compensation expense in connection with increased headcount.

ENI was $177.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $68.0 million, or 61.9%, compared to ENI of $109.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. ENI was $831.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $468.9 million, or 129.2%, compared to ENI of $362.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in both comparative periods was primarily attributable to higher net carried interest driven by a greater level of appreciation in our private equity portfolio, partially offset by the decrease in FRE discussed above.

Public Markets

AUM was $26.4 billion as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $9.9 billion, or 60.0%, compared to AUM of $16.5 billion as of September 30, 2012. FPAUM was $19.7 billion as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $9.8 billion, or 99.0%, compared to FPAUM of $9.9 billion as of September 30, 2012. The increase in both AUM and FPAUM were primarily attributable to new capital from the acquisition of Prisma and to a lesser extent net new capital raised.

FRE was $29.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $17.6 million compared to FRE of $11.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. FRE was $80.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $20.9 million compared to FRE of $59.6 million for year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in both comparable periods was primarily due to (i) higher management fees related to new capital raised as well as the acquisition of Prisma and (ii) higher incentive fees earned.

ENI was $37.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $25.6 million compared to ENI of $11.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in FRE discussed above and to a lesser extent a higher level of net carried interest recognized driven by the appreciation in the net asset value of certain carry-eligible investment vehicles.

ENI was $102.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $44.9 million compared to ENI of $58.0 million for year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was principally attributable to the increase in FRE discussed above and net carried interest recognized for the year ended December 31, 2012 driven by the appreciation in the net asset value of certain carry-eligible investment vehicles. For the year ended December 31, 2011, there was a reversal of previously recognized net carried interest due to a decline in the carrying value of certain carry-eligible investment vehicles.

Capital Markets and Principal Activities

FRE was $24.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $23.6 million, or 49.4%, compared to FRE of $47.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. FRE was $88.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $42.6 million, or 32.5%, compared to FRE of $130.9 million for year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in both comparative periods was primarily driven by a lower level of overall capital markets transaction activity.

ENI was $132.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $31.2 million, or 19.0%, compared to ENI of $163.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was principally attributable to the decrease in FRE discussed above and to a lesser extent a lower level of investment income. While the fair value of our principal investments increased during the fourth quarter of 2012, the level of appreciation was lower than in the comparable period of 2011.

ENI was $1,196.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $866.0 million compared to ENI of $330.2 million for year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily driven by a higher level of appreciation in the carrying value of our principal investments, partially offset by the decrease in FRE discussed above.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 2012, KKR had $1,534.3 million of cash and short-term investments on a segment basis and $500.0 million of outstanding debt obligations under its senior notes. KKR’s availability for further borrowings was approximately $750.0 million (which does not include a $500.0 million revolving credit facility for use in its capital markets business that was undrawn as of December 31, 2012).

(c) Additional distribution is provided primarily from certain realizations on investments within KKR’s capital markets and principal activities segment and was calculated for certain taxes as described in our distribution policy. The amount of any additional distribution in the future should not be expected to be consistent or regularly declared.

DISTRIBUTION POLICY

KKR intends to make quarterly cash distributions in amounts that in the aggregate are expected to constitute substantially all of the cash earnings of its investment management business each year in excess of amounts determined by KKR to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and its investment funds and to comply with applicable law and any of its debt instruments or other agreements. KKR does not intend to distribute net realized principal investment income, other than certain additional distributions that KKR may determine to make. These additional distributions, if any, are intended to cover certain tax liabilities, as calculated by KKR. When KKR & Co. L.P. receives distributions from the KKR Group Partnerships (the holding companies of the KKR business), KKR Holdings receives its pro rata share of such distributions from the KKR Group Partnerships. For purposes of KKR’s distribution policy, its distributions are expected to consist of (i) FRE, (ii) carry distributions received from KKR’s investment funds which have not been allocated as part of its carry pool, and (iii) any additional distributions for certain taxes as described above. This amount is expected to be reduced by (i) corporate and applicable local taxes, if any, (ii) non-controlling interests, and (iii) amounts determined by KKR to be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of its business and other matters as discussed above.

The declaration and payment of any distributions are subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the general partner of KKR & Co. L.P. and the terms of its limited partnership agreement. There can be no assurance that distributions will be made as intended or at all or that such distributions will be sufficient to pay any particular KKR unit holder’s actual U.S. or non-U.S. tax liability.

KKR

Notes to Reportable Segments (Unaudited)

The segment key performance measures that follow are used by management in making operating and resource deployment decisions as well as assessing the overall performance of each of KKR’s reportable business segments. The reportable segments for KKR’s business are presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) between KKR & Co. L.P. and KKR Holdings L.P. and as such represent the business in total. In addition, KKR’s reportable segments are presented without giving effect to the consolidation of the funds that KKR manages.

KKR discloses the following financial measures in this earnings release that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our GAAP results is helpful to unitholders in assessing the overall performance of KKR’s businesses. These financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for similar financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution readers that these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculations of other investment managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included elsewhere within this earnings release.

Fee related earnings (“FRE”) is comprised of segment operating revenues less segment operating expenses and is used by management as an alternative measurement of the operating earnings of KKR and its business segments before investment income. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the operating profitability of our fee generating management companies and capital markets businesses. The components of FRE on a segment basis differ from the equivalent GAAP amounts on a consolidated basis as a result of: (i) the inclusion of management fees earned from consolidated funds that were eliminated in consolidation; (ii) the exclusion of fees and expenses of certain consolidated entities; (iii) the exclusion of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets; (iv) the exclusion of charges relating to carry pool allocations; (v) the exclusion of non-cash equity charges and other non-cash compensation charges borne by KKR Holdings or incurred under the KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan; (vi) the exclusion of certain reimbursable expenses; and (vii) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items.

Economic net income (loss) (“ENI”) is a measure of profitability for KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management as an alternative measurement of the operating and investment earnings of KKR and its business segments. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the overall profitability of KKR’s businesses inclusive of investment income and carried interest. ENI is comprised of: (i) FRE; plus (ii) segment investment income (loss), which is reduced for carry pool allocations and management fee refunds; less (iii) certain economic interests in KKR’s segments held by third parties. ENI differs from net income (loss) on a GAAP basis as a result of: (i) the exclusion of the items referred to in FRE above; (ii) the exclusion of investment income (loss) relating to noncontrolling interests; and (iii) the exclusion of income taxes.

After-tax ENI is used to measure KKR’s implied ENI on a fully diluted basis. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides an indication of KKR’s ENI as if all outstanding KKR Holdings units had been exchanged for common units of KKR & Co. L.P. After-tax ENI is calculated by deducting from ENI the implied income tax provision that has been calculated assuming that all income is allocated to KKR & Co. L.P., which would occur following an exchange of all KKR Holdings units for common units of KKR & Co. L.P. The assumptions and methodology used to calculate the implied income tax provision are consistent with those used in calculating the tax provision for KKR & Co. L.P. under GAAP. The implied income tax provision does not give effect to any tax savings or deductions that may result from the exchange of KKR Holdings units.

Total distributable earnings is the sum of (i) FRE, (ii) carry distributions received from KKR’s investment funds which have not been allocated as part of its carry pool and (iii) net realized principal investment income; less (i) applicable local income taxes, if any, and (ii) noncontrolling interests. Net realized principal investment income includes, with respect to KKR’s principal investments (i) realized investment gains and losses, (ii) dividend income and (iii) interest income, net of interest expense, earned from KKR’s principal investments. KKR does not intend to distribute net realized principal investment income other than certain additional distributions that KKR may determine to make, which are intended to cover certain tax liabilities, as calculated by KKR. See “Distribution Policy.” We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides a supplemental measure to assess performance, excluding the impact of mark-to-market gains (losses), and amounts available for distribution to KKR unitholders, however, total distributable earnings is not a measure that calculates actual distributions under KKR’s current distribution policy.

Assets under management (“AUM”) represent the assets from which KKR is entitled to receive fees or a carried interest and general partner capital. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into KKR’s capital raising activities and the overall activity in its investment funds and vehicles. KKR calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of KKR’s investment funds plus uncalled capital commitments from these funds; (ii) the fair value of investments in KKR’s co-investment vehicles; (iii) the net asset value of certain of KKR's fixed income products; (iv) the value of outstanding structured finance vehicles; and (v) the fair value of other assets managed by KKR. KKR’s definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages or calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.

Fee paying AUM (“FPAUM”) represents only those assets under management from which KKR receives fees. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the capital base upon which KKR earns management fees. This relates to KKR’s capital raising activities and the overall activity in its investment funds and vehicles, for only those funds and vehicles where KKR receives fees (i.e., excluding vehicles that receive only carried interest or general partner capital). FPAUM is the sum of all of the individual fee bases that are used to calculate KKR’s fees and differs from AUM in the following respects: (i) assets from which KKR does not receive a fee are excluded (i.e., assets with respect to which it receives only carried interest) and (ii) certain assets, primarily in its private equity funds, are reflected based on capital commitments and invested capital as opposed to fair value because fees are not impacted by changes in the fair value of underlying investments.

Committed dollars invested is the aggregate amount of capital commitments that have been invested by KKR’s investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles and is used as a measure of investment activity for KKR and its business segments during a given period. We believe this measure is useful to unitholdersas it provides additional insight into KKR’s investment of committed capital. Such amounts include: (i) capital invested by fund investors and co-investors with respect to which KKR is entitled to a fee or carried interest and (ii) capital invested by KKR’s investment funds and vehicles.

Syndicated capital is the aggregate amount of debt or equity capital in transactions originated by KKR investment funds and vehicles, which has been distributed to third parties in exchange for a fee. It does not include capital committed to such transactions by carry-yielding co-investment vehicles, which is instead reported in committed dollars invested. Syndicated capital is used as a measure of investment activity for KKR and its business segments during a given period, and we believe that this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into levels of syndication activity in KKR’s Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment and across its investment platform.

Uncalled commitments are used as a measure of unfunded capital commitments that KKR’s investment funds and carry-paying co-investment vehicles have received from partners to contribute capital to fund future investments. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the amount of capital that is available to KKR’s investment funds and vehicles to make future investments.

Adjusted units are used as a measure of the total equity ownership of KKR that is held by KKR & Co. L.P. and KKR Holdings and represent the fully diluted unit count using the if-converted method. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides an indication of the total equity ownership of KKR as if all outstanding KKR Holdings units had been exchanged for common units of KKR & Co. L.P.

Core interest expense is used by management as an alternative measurement of interest expense incurred by KKR on a segment basis and excludes interest expense related to debt obligations from investment financing arrangements related to certain of KKR’s private equity funds, investment vehicles and principal investments. These financing arrangements are not direct obligations of the general partners of KKR’s private equity funds or its management companies. On a segment basis, interest expense is included in other investment income. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides an indication of the amount of interest expense borne by KKR excluding interest expense that is allocated to KKR’s investment funds and vehicles and other noncontrolling interest holders. Additionally, we believe this measure is useful for analyzing KKR’s ability to service its debt obligations.

Book value is a measure of the net assets of KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management primarily in assessing the unrealized value of our investment portfolio, including carried interest, as well as our overall liquidity position. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the assets and liabilities of KKR excluding the assets and liabilities that are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders. Book value differs from the equivalent GAAP amounts on a consolidated basis primarily as a result of the exclusion of ownership interests attributable to KKR Holdings L.P.

Fee related EBITDA is comprised of FRE before the impact of depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets and is used by management as a measure of the cash earnings of KKR and its business segments before investment income. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the amount of cash earnings generated by KKR’s management companies and capital markets businesses.

Cash and short-term investments represent cash and liquid short-term investments in high-grade, short-duration cash management strategies used by KKR to generate additional yield on our excess liquidity and is used by management in evaluating KKR’s liquidity position. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into KKR’s available liquidity. Cash and short-term investments differ from cash and cash equivalents on a GAAP basis as a result of the inclusion of liquid short-term investments in cash and short-term investments.
