Item 1.			Business

Overview

Evercore is the leading independent investment banking firm in the world based on the dollar volume of announced worldwide merger and acquisition ("M&A") transactions on which we have advised in the last five years(1). When we use the term "independent investment banking firm," we mean an investment banking firm that directly, or through its affiliates, does not engage in commercial banking or significant proprietary trading activities. We were founded on the belief that there is an opportunity within the investment banking industry for a firm free of the potential conflicts of interest created within large, multi-product, capital intensive financial institutions. We believe that maintaining standards of excellence and integrity in our core businesses demands a spirit of cooperation and hands-on participation more commonly found in smaller organizations. Since our inception, we have set out to build—in the employees we choose and in the projects we undertake—an organization dedicated to the highest caliber of professionalism and integrity.

We operate globally through our two business segments: (i) Investment Banking & Equities and (ii) Investment Management.

Investment Banking & Equities

Our Investment Banking & Equities segment includes our investment banking business and our equities business. In ~~2024~~2025, our Investment Banking & Equities segment generated $23.8169 billion, or 9798% of our revenues, excluding Other Revenue, net, ($2.2881 billion, or 97%, in ~~2023~~2024 and $2.7228 billion, or 9897%, in ~~2022~~2023) and earned ~~748~~806 fees from clients for advisory and underwriting transactions.

As we begin the year in ~~2025~~2026, our Investment Banking & Equities segment has ~~144(2)~~171 Investment Banking Senior Managing Directors and 4039 Equities Senior Managing Directors with expertise and client relationships in a wide variety of industry sectors and a broad geographic reach.(2)

Investment Banking

Our investment banking business provides strategic advisory, liability management and restructuring, capital markets advisory and private capital advisory and fundraising services. Through this business, we provide clients with differentiated strategic and tactical advice, as well as execution to financial sponsors and both public and private companies across a broad range of industry sectors and geographies. We help our clients identify and pursue strategic priorities, devise strategies to enhance shareholder value, and develop new ideas and deeper perspective to achieve their goals. We also serve as a leading advisor to clients on many of the largest and most complex capital transactions in the global capital markets. Our flexible and integrated teams develop trust with clients by focusing on their objectives. Functionally, we can act as an independent advisor, placement agent, or underwriter based on each client's circumstances and preferences.

•Strategic Advisory. We provide advisory services on a full range of matters, including mergers, sales, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, joint ventures, strategic, defense and shareholder advisory, divestitures and other tax efficient combinations.

•Mergers and Acquisitions. In advising companies on mergers, sales, or acquisitions, we evaluate potential targets and acquirers, provide valuation analyses, and evaluate and propose financial and strategic alternatives. We provide boards, management teams and financial sponsors with independent judgment and deep expertise as they navigate their most important transactions and strategic decisions. We also advise as to the timing, structure, financing and pricing of a proposed transaction, as well as assist in negotiating and closing the deal.

•Strategic, Defense and Shareholder Advisory. Our extensive experience, insights into activist tactics, expertise in assisting companies with shareholder engagement and innovative defense strategies are instrumental in helping clients prepare for, avoid, and, if required, defend against activist investors and hostile takeover attempts. In public company situations, our strategic shareholder advice is an integral part of our practice and is a decisive edge for clients seeking to solve complicated issues and obtain shareholder support for their transactions.

•Private Capital Advisory and Fundraising. Through our Private Capital Advisory ("PCA") and Private Funds Group ("PFG") teams, we advise private asset managers on capitalizing or liquidating their assets through a privately negotiated transaction (e.g. fund sales, asset refinancing and fund recapitalizations or continuation funds). We also provide comprehensive global advisory and distribution services on capital raising for these managers and/or select private fund sponsors, advising and executing on the fundraising process, including competitive positioning and market assessment, preparation of marketing materials, investor development and documentation.

•Sales. Our sales team delivers research-centric service to more than 1,~~300~~200 institutional clients in the U.S. and abroad. The team provides access to our macro and fundamental research products and our dedicated sales specialists provide unique sector insights.

•Trading.

We also reward and support employees through competitive pay and benefits programs, facilitate the professional development of our employees through our talent development programs, and promote a strong culture throughout our organization.

Table of Contents

With these guiding principles, our Human Capital Group leads our efforts on employee-related matters, including recruiting and hiring, onboarding and training, benefits management, compensation planning, performance management and professional development. Our Board of Directors and its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also provide oversight on certain human capital matters.

Some examples of our programs, initiatives and efforts to attract, develop, mentor, promote and retain the most talented professionals in our industry include:

•Recruiting: We continue to strategically invest in our talent base through campus and lateral recruiting as we execute on our long-term growth strategy. Our campus and lateral recruiting organizations take a comprehensive and global approach to sourcing top talent, with a goal of ensuring the Company puts the very best team on the field.

•Talent Development: We view talent development as a key driver of business success.

◦Our training framework involves comprehensive, targeted development designed to support our employees at every level of their careers, including on-the-job training and mentorship.

◦Our programs are primarily leadership-led and follow the apprenticeship model. We are proud that more than 90% of our content was taught by our leaders this year, with nearly 130 professionals serving as faculty across various programs.

◦We also engage in a rigorous performance evaluation process designed to provide our employees with the feedback necessary for their professional development.

◦We conduct employee surveys and leverage our findings to strengthen our culture and improve employee experiences across the firm.

•Health, Safety, Wellness and Benefits: The success of our business is fundamentally connected to the well-being of our people. Accordingly, we are committed to the health, safety and wellness of our employees.

◦We offer market competitive and comprehensive health and wellness benefits to our employees and their families and continuously explore ways to support their evolving needs. These programs support our employees' physical, mental and financial health by providing tools and resources to help them manage their health. We offer a choice of several options, where possible, so that our employees can customize their benefits to meet their personal needs.

◦Through the EverWELL program, we promote wellness education and encourage our employees to focus on their overall well-being. We offer various resources including on-site ~~flu and COVID vaccines~~vaccinations, on-site health screenings, and in-person and virtual well-being education sessions on financial wellness, healthy lifestyle habits and tools to improve mental resilience.

•Compensation Structure: We have consistently sought to closely align pay with performance. Our compensation structure, including our comprehensive benefits package, is designed to attract, motivate and retain highly talented employees.

•Community: We measure our success not only by our client work and financial results, but also by our contributions to the communities in which we operate and serve.

◦During ~~2024~~2025, the Evercore Foundation contributed to organizations that align with its goal of supporting the education and mental health of children and young adults.

◦In addition, through our Evercore Volunteers program, we have continued our firm-wide community service initiatives, which connect our employees with our community partners in order to address immediate needs, support education and improve public spaces.

As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, we employed approximately 2,~~380~~570 people (of which approximately 12,~~900~~100 were employed in Investment Banking & Equities), working in 2933 cities around the world. Our global workforce is comprised of approximately 99% full-time and 1% part-time employees. Approximately 1,~~800~~900 of our employees were employed in the United States (of which approximately 1,400 were employed in Investment Banking & Equities); the remainder were employed outside the United States, primarily in our Investment Banking & Equities segment. We believe our efforts in managing our workforce have been effective, evidenced by our strong culture and talent development.

Competition

Table of Contents

product or niche basis. We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including transaction execution skills, investment performance, quality of equity research, our range of products and services, innovation, reputation and price.Competition

The financial services industry is intensely competitive, and we expect it to remain so. Our competitors are other investment banking, financial advisory and investment management firms. We compete both globally and on a regional, product or niche basis. We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including transaction execution skills, investment performance, quality of equity research, our range of products and services, innovation, reputation and price.

Our investment banking competitors can generally be categorized into two main groups: (1) large universal banks and bulge bracket firms such as Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and UBS and (2) independent advisory firms such as Centerview, Houlihan Lokey, Lazard, Moelis, Perella Weinberg, PJT Partners and Rothschild, among others. We believe, and our clients have informed us, that advisory firms that also provide acquisition financing, and engage in significant proprietary trading in clients' securities and the management of large private equity funds that often compete with clients can cause such firms to develop interests that may be in conflict with the interests of advisory clients. Since we are able to avoid potential conflicts associated with these types of activities, we believe that we are better able to develop trusted and long-term relationships with our clients than competitors that provide such services. In addition, we have a broader global presence, deeper sector expertise and more diverse capabilities than many of the independent firms. Our equities business is also subject to competition from investment banks and other large and small financial institutions who offer similar services.

We believe that we face a range of competitors in our Investment Management business, with numerous other firms providing competitive services. Evercore Wealth Management competes with domestic and global private banks, regional broker-dealers, independent broker-dealers, registered investment advisors, commercial banks, trust companies and other financial services firms offering wealth management services to clients, many of which have substantially greater resources and offer a broader range of services.

Competition is also intense for the attraction and retention of qualified employees. Our ability to continue to compete effectively in our businesses will depend upon our ability to attract new employees and retain and motivate our existing employees.

Regulation

Our operating entities are also subject to regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, as amended (the "Patriot Act") in the United States, which impose obligations regarding the prevention and detection of money-laundering activities, including the establishment of customer due diligence and other compliance policies and procedures. Regulatory authorities are also increasingly focused on cyber security and vendor management. Failure to comply with any legal and regulatory requirements may result in monetary, regulatory and, in certain cases, criminal penalties and significantly harm our reputation.

United States

Our business, as well as the financial services industry generally, is subject to extensive regulation in the United States and in the other jurisdictions where we operate. As a matter of public policy, regulatory bodies in the United States and the rest of the world are charged with safeguarding the integrity of the securities and other financial markets and with protecting the interests of customers participating in those markets. In the United States, the SEC is the federal agency responsible for the administration of the federal securities laws. Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours through which we conduct our U.S. Investment Banking & Equities business, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and is registered as a broker-dealer in various states and the District of Columbia. EGL is subject to regulation and oversight by the SEC. FINRA, a self-regulatory organization that is subject to oversight by the SEC, adopts and enforces rules governing the conduct, and examines the activities, of its member firms, including EGL. The SEC, FINRA, and other regulators in various jurisdictions impose both conduct-based and disclosure-based requirements with respect to our business. State securities regulators and securities exchanges of which EGL is a member also have regulatory or oversight authority over EGL. Our PFG and PCA businesses are also impacted by various state and local regulations that restrict or prohibit the use of placement agents in connection with investments by public pension funds.

Broker-dealers are subject to regulations that cover all aspects of the securities business, including sales methods, trade practices, use and safekeeping of customers' funds and securities, capital structure, record-keeping, the financing of customers' purchases and the conduct and qualifications of directors, officers and employees. For example, as a registered broker-dealer and member of a self-regulatory organization, we are subject to the SEC's uniform net capital rule, Rule 15c3-1. Rule 15c3-1 specifies the minimum level of net capital a broker-dealer must maintain and also requires that a significant part of a broker-dealer's assets be kept in relatively liquid form. The SEC and various self-regulatory organizations impose rules that require notification when net capital falls below certain predefined criteria, limit the ratio of subordinated debt to equity in the regulatory capital composition of a broker-dealer and constrain the ability of a broker-dealer to expand its business under certain circumstances. Additionally, the SEC's uniform net capital rule imposes certain requirements that may have the effect of prohibiting a broker-dealer from distributing or withdrawing capital and requiring prior notice to the SEC for certain withdrawals of capital.

United Kingdom

Authorization by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"). The FCA is responsible for regulating Evercore Partners International LLP ("Evercore U.K."), our U.K. Advisory affiliate, and Evercore ISI International Limited ("Evercore ISI U.K."), our U.K. Equities affiliate. The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") is the basis for the United Kingdom's ("U.K.") financial services regulatory regime. FSMA is supported by secondary legislation and other rules made under FSMA, including the FCA Handbook of Rules and Guidance. A key FSMA provision is section 19, which contains a "general prohibition" against any person carrying on a "regulated activity" (or purporting to do so) in the U.K., unless they are an authorized or exempt person. It is a criminal offense to breach this general prohibition and certain agreements made in breach may not be enforceable. The "regulated activities" are set out in the FSMA (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (as amended). Evercore U.K. is authorized to carry out regulated activities with non retail clients, including: advising on investments, arranging (bringing about) deals in investments and making arrangements with a view to transactions in investments. Evercore ISI U.K. is also authorized to carry out these activities for non retail clients. As U.K. authorized persons, Evercore U.K. and Evercore ISI U.K. are subject to the FCA's high-level principles for businesses, conduct of business obligations and organizational requirements. The FCA's consumer duty that came into force in July 2023 setting higher level standards for firms under a new FCA principle and rules does not apply to either Evercore U.K. or Evercore ISI U.K. The FCA has extensive powers to supervise and intervene in the affairs of the firms. It can take a range of disciplinary enforcement actions, including public censure, restitution, fines or sanctions and the award of compensation.

FSMA also gives the FCA investigatory and enforcement powers in respect of contraventions of various legacy European Union ("EU") regulations (as implemented into U.K. law following Brexit), including the Market Abuse Regulation, which prohibits insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information and market manipulation. The FCA is also able to prosecute a number of criminal offenses including, among other things, criminal insider dealing under the Criminal Justice Act 1993 and criminal market manipulation under the Financial Services Act 2012.

Regulatory Capital. Regulatory capital requirements form an integral part of the FCA's prudential supervision of FCA authorized firms. The regulatory capital rules oblige firms to hold a certain amount of capital at all times (taking into account the particular risks to which the firm may be exposed given its business activities), thereby helping to ensure that firms can meet their liabilities as they fall due and safeguarding their (and their counterparties') financial stability. The FCA also expects firms to take a proactive approach to monitoring and managing risks, consistent with its high-level requirement for firms to have adequate financial resources.

The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the Terrorism Act 2000 also contain a number of offenses in relation to money laundering and terrorist financing, respectively. Evercore U.K., Evercore ISI U.K. (and potentially other Evercore entities with a 'close connection' to the U.K.) are also subject to the U.K. Bribery Act 2010. It provides for criminal penalties for bribery of, or receipt of a bribe from, public officials, corporations and individuals, as well as for the failure of an organization to prevent a person with whom it is associated from providing bribes to secure a business advantage for the organization or a benefit in the conduct of its business.

Regulatory Framework in the European Union. The U.K. left the EU on January 31, 2020 and on December 31, 2020, the Brexit transitional period came to an end. The U.K and the EU entered into the U.K. - EU Trade and Co-operation Agreement ("TCA") on December 24, 2020. However, the TCA does not presently make provision for financial services firms in the U.K. to access the EU single market. As a result, U.K. firms, including Evercore U.K. and Evercore ISI U.K., do not hold passporting rights to provide cross-border services into the EU and into a number of other members of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), to the extent such services are regulated activities. Evercore has a German subsidiary, Evercore GmbH ("Evercore Germany"), through which regulated activities can be conducted in Germany and in other EU and EEA jurisdictions on a cross-border basis, subject to certain exceptions and in compliance with applicable legal requirements.

In addition, following the U.K.'s exit from the EU, the provisions of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (together "MiFID") have been on-shored and brought into U.K. law through the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. This provided that EU law directly applicable in the U.K. would form part of U.K. law at the end of the Brexit transitional period and gave powers to the U.K. government to amend this legislation so that it would operate effectively after Brexit. Therefore, Evercore U.K. and Evercore ISI U.K. are subject to broadly the same requirements under the on-shored U.K. MiFID regime, subject to changes put forward in the U.K.'s legislative program.

In December 2022, the U.K. Government announced a series of financial services regulatory developments referred to as the "Edinburgh Reforms". The backdrop to these reforms is the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 which received Royal Assent in June 2023. The Act will enable EU financial services law directly applicable in the U.K. to be repealed and replaced by similar U.K. law and regulation. Therefore, over the coming years it is possible that U.K. and EU financial services may diverge further.

Germany

In Germany, our subsidiary, Evercore Germany, is licensed by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, or "BaFin") to conduct investment advice and investment brokerage activities in Germany. Evercore Germany has passporting rights to provide cross-border services into the EU which are equivalent to those formerly enjoyed by Evercore U.K. Accordingly, Evercore Germany is authorized to provide the aforementioned services across the EU on a cross-border basis or through passporting local branches, ~~such~~within asthe ~~operated in Paris, France~~EU. Among other requirements, BaFin requires Evercore Germany, as a regulated entity, to comply with capital, liquidity, governance and business conduct requirements, and has a range of supervisory and disciplinary powers which it is able to use in overseeing the activities of the firm. Being a legally dependent part of Evercore Germany, our branch offices are generally subject to the same regulatory requirements, with the exception that business conduct requirements are governed by the local regulatory regime. This arrangement underscores our strategic approach to leveraging our EU presence, maintaining high standards of regulatory compliance while adapting to the specific requirements of local jurisdictions.

Evercore Hong Kong is licensed with the SFC to conduct certain corporate finance activities and securities dealing and advising activities that are related to corporate finance, and Evercore Hong Kong is required to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations published by the SFC. The compliance requirements of the SFC include, among other things, paid-up share capital, liquid capital, record keeping, data storage, anti-money laundering (including the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Cap. 615)), client classification, conflicts of interest and other conduct of business requirements.

Evercore Hong Kong is also subject to other laws in Hong Kong that are concerned with money laundering, terrorist financing, proliferation financing and financial sanctions, including the Drug Trafficking (Recovery of Proceeds) Ordinance (Cap. 455), the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance, the United Nations (Anti-Terrorism Measures) Ordinance (Cap. 575), the United Nations Sanctions Ordinance (Cap. 537), the Weapons of Mass Destruction (Control of Provision of Services) Ordinance (Cap. 526) and the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (Cap 201).

Item 1A.			Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Business

Difficult market conditions may adversely affect our business in many ways, including reducing the volume and value of the transactions involving our Investment Banking & Equities business, which may materially reduce our revenue or income.

As a financial services firm, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions in the U.S. and throughout the world. Financial markets and economic conditions can be negatively impacted by many factors beyond our control, such as the inability to access credit markets, rising interest rates or inflation, the imposition or threatened imposition of tariffs, terrorism, political uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, uncertainty in the federal fiscal or monetary policy of U.S. or foreign governments, an evolving regulatory environment (and the timing and nature of regulatory reform), climate change, extreme weather events or natural disasters, the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyberattacks or campaigns, military conflicts or other geopolitical events. Unfavorable market or economic conditions, as well as volatility in the financial markets, can materially reduce the demand for our services and present challenges.

reform), climate change, extreme weather events or natural disasters, the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyberattacks or campaigns, military conflicts or other geopolitical events. Unfavorable market or economic conditions, as well as volatility in the financial markets, can materially reduce the demand for our services and present challenges.

Revenue generated by our Investment Banking & Equities business is related to the volume and value of the transactions in which we are involved. The majority of our bankers are focused on covering clients in the context of providing M&A services and those activities generate a substantial portion of our revenues. During periods of unfavorable market and economic conditions, our operating results may be adversely affected by a decrease in the volume and value of M&A transactions and increasing price competition among financial services companies seeking advisory engagements. Our clients engaging in M&A transactions often rely on access to the credit and/or capital markets to finance their transactions. The uncertainty of available credit and interest rates and the volatility of the capital markets, and the fact that we do not provide financing or otherwise commit capital to clients, can adversely affect the size, volume, timing and ability of such clients to successfully complete M&A transactions and adversely affect our Investment Banking & Equities business. In addition, our profitability would be adversely affected due to our fixed costs and the possibility that we would be unable to reduce our variable costs without reducing revenue or within a timeframe sufficient to offset any decreases in revenue relating to changes in market and economic conditions.

We also seek to generate greater business from our liability management and restructuring and capital markets services and our Equities business. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to significantly offset lower revenues from a decline in our M&A activities with increased revenues generated from liability management and restructuring and capital markets services or from our Equities business. Our liability management and restructuring services, which provide financial advice and investment banking services to companies in financial transition, as well as to creditors, shareholders and potential acquirers, our capital markets services, which provide corporations and financial sponsors with advice relating to a broad array of financing issues, and our Equities business, which provides equity research and agency securities trading for institutional investors, are smaller than our M&A advisory business and we expect that they will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

Unfavorable market conditions may also lead to a reduction in revenues from our underwriting and placement agent activities, our private funds advisory and private capital markets businesses, and the demand for the research and other services provided by our Equities business could correspondingly decline.

We depend on our senior professionals, including our executive officers, and the loss of their services could have a material adverse effect on us. If we are unable to successfully identify, hire and retain productive individuals, we may not be able to implement our growth strategy successfully.

Our growth strategy is based, in part, on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and profitable senior professionals across all of our businesses. Accordingly, our senior professionals' expertise, skill, reputation and relationships with clients and potential clients are critical elements in maintaining and expanding our businesses. For example, our Investment Banking & Equities business is dependent on our senior Investment Banking professionals, senior Equities research analysts, traders and executives. In addition, EWM is dependent on its senior portfolio managers and executives. Our professionals possess substantial experience and expertise and strong client relationships. However, they are not obligated to remain employed with us and the market for qualified professionals is highly competitive. In particular, many of our competitors may be able to offer more attractive compensation packages or broader career opportunities. Due to this competition, we may also face difficulties in, or increases in the cost of, recruiting and retaining professionals of a caliber consistent with our business strategy.

If any of these personnel were to retire, join an existing competitor, form a competing company or otherwise leave us, it could jeopardize our relationships with clients and result in the loss of client engagements and revenues. The departure of a number of senior professionals, including our executive officers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we have entered into restrictive covenant agreements with certain senior professionals, there is no guarantee that these agreements provide sufficient incentives or protections to prevent our professionals from resigning to join our competitors or that the restrictive covenant agreements would be upheld if we were to seek to enforce our rights. Recent regulatory initiatives and state laws have sought to limit the enforceability of such arrangements. For example, several states have enacted or proposed legislation limiting the enforceability of restrictive covenant agreements.

substantial experience and expertise and strong client relationships. However, they are not obligated to remain employed with us and the market for qualified professionals is highly competitive. In particular, many of our competitors may be able to offer more attractive compensation packages or broader career opportunities. Due to this competition, we may also face difficulties in, or increases in the cost of, recruiting and retaining professionals of a caliber consistent with our business strategy.

Certain aspects of our cost structure are largely fixed, and we may incur costs associated with new or expanded lines of business, or our entry into new geographic regions, prior to these lines of business or regions generating significant revenue. If our revenue declines or fails to increase commensurately with the expenses associated with new or expanded lines of business or regions, our profitability may be materially adversely affected.

We may incur costs associated with new or expanded lines of business, or our entry into new geographic regions, including guaranteed or fixed compensation costs, prior to these lines of business generating significant revenue. In addition, certain aspects of our cost structure, such as costs for occupancy and equipment rentals, communication and information technology services, and depreciation and amortization are largely fixed, and we may not be able to timely adjust these costs to match fluctuations in revenue. If our revenue declines, or fails to increase commensurately with the expenses associated with new or expanded lines of business or regions, our profitability may be materially adversely affected.

Our growth has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our administrative, operational and financial resources.

We have experienced significant growth in the past several years. Supporting this growth has placed significant demands on our operational, legal, regulatory and financial systems and resources for integration, training and business development efforts. We are often required to commit additional resources to maintain appropriate operational, legal, regulatory and financial systems to adequately support expansion, even when we only partner, enter into strategic alliances or take minority stakes in other businesses. We expect our growth to continue, which could place additional demands on our resources and increase our expenses. For example, in recent years we have made significant investments in various enterprise technologies, such as client relationship management, enterprise resource planning and financial planning technology. We cannot provide assurance that our financial controls, the level of knowledge of our personnel, our operational abilities, our legal and compliance controls and our other corporate support systems will be adequate to manage our expanding operations effectively. Any failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to pursue our growth strategy, generate revenue and control expenses, and could result in regulatory fines or sanctions.

Our revenue and profits are highly volatile, which may make it difficult for us to achieve steady earnings growth on a quarterly basis and may cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline.

Our revenue and profits are highly volatile, and we can experience significant fluctuations in quarterly results. We generally derive Investment Banking & Equities revenue from engagements that generate significant fees at key transaction milestones, such as closing, and the timing of these milestones is outside of our control. As a result, our financial results will likely fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the timing of when those fees are earned. The loss of even a small number of such fees could have a significant effect on our near term financial results. It may be difficult for us to achieve steady earnings growth on a quarterly basis, which could, in turn, lead to large adverse movements in the price of our Class A common stock or increased volatility in our stock price generally.

We earn a majority of our revenue from advisory engagements, and, in most cases, we are not paid until the successful consummation of the transactions. As a result, our Investment Banking & Equities revenue is highly dependent on market conditions and the decisions and actions of our clients, interested third parties and governmental authorities. For example, a client could delay or terminate an acquisition transaction because of a failure to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, failure to obtain necessary regulatory consents or board or stockholder approvals, failure to secure necessary financing, adverse market conditions or because the target's business is experiencing unexpected operating or financial problems. Anticipated bidders for assets of a client during a liability management and restructuring transaction may not materialize or our client may not be able to restructure its operations or indebtedness due to a failure to reach agreement with its principal creditors. In these circumstances, we often do not receive any advisory fees other than the reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses, despite the fact that we have devoted considerable resources to these transactions.

Our failure to deal appropriately with actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest could damage our reputation and materially adversely affect our business.

Our failure to deal appropriately with actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest could damage our reputation and materially adversely affect our business.

As we have expanded the scope of our businesses and client base, we increasingly confront actual, potential and perceived conflicts of interest relating to our Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management businesses. It is possible that actual, potential or perceived conflicts could give rise to client dissatisfaction, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. Appropriately identifying and managing actual or perceived conflicts of interest is complex and difficult, and our reputation could be damaged if we fail, or appear to fail, to deal appropriately with one or more potential or actual conflicts of interest. Regulatory scrutiny of, or litigation in connection with, conflicts of interest would have a material adverse effect on our reputation which would materially adversely affect our business in a number of ways, including an inability to recruit additional professionals and a reluctance of potential clients and counterparties to do business with us. Additionally, client-imposed conflicts requirements could place additional limitations on us, for example, by limiting our ability to accept advisory engagements.

Policies, controls and procedures that we may be required to implement to address additional regulatory requirements, including as a result of additional foreign jurisdictions in which we operate, our equities business and our underwriting activities, or to mitigate actual or potential conflicts of interest, may result in increased costs, including for additional personnel and infrastructure and information technology improvements, as well as limit our activities and reduce the benefit of positive synergies that we seek to cultivate across our businesses. For example, due to our equity research activities through our equities business, we face potential conflicts of interest, including situations where our publication of research may conflict with the interests of an advisory client, or allegations that research objectivity is being inappropriately impacted by advisory client considerations.

Employee misconduct, which is difficult to detect and deter, could harm us by impairing our ability to attract and retain clients while subjecting us to significant legal liability and reputational harm.

There is a risk that our employees could engage in fraud or misconduct that adversely affects our business. Our Investment Banking & Equities business often requires that we deal with confidential matters of great significance to our clients. If our employees were to improperly use or disclose confidential information provided by our clients or other confidential information, we could be subject to investigations, actions and sanctions by regulators and enforcement agencies and suffer serious harm to our reputation, financial position, current client relationships and ability to attract future clients and employees. We are also subject to a number of obligations and standards arising from our Investment Management business and our authority over the assets managed by our Investment Management business. The violation of these obligations and standards by any of our employees would adversely affect our clients and us. It is not always possible to deter employee misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in all cases. If our employees engage in misconduct, our business may be adversely affected.

In addition, the U.S. regulators and enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC, continue to focus on anti-money laundering laws and anti-corruption laws, and the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions have significantly expanded the reach of their anti-bribery laws. While we have developed and implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure strict compliance with anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, anti-corruption and other laws, such policies and procedures may not be effective in all instances to prevent violations. Any determination that any of our employees have violated these laws (or similar laws of other jurisdictions in which we do business) could subject us to, among other things, civil and criminal penalties, material fines, profit disgorgement, injunction on future conduct, securities litigation and reputational damage, any one of which could adversely affect our business, financial position or results of operations.

The financial services industry faces substantial litigation and regulatory risks, and we may face damage to our professional reputation and legal liability.

Allegations against us of improper conduct by private litigants or regulators, whether the ultimate outcome is favorable or unfavorable to us, as well as negative publicity and press speculation about us, whether or not valid, may harm our reputation. Moreover, our role as advisor to our clients on important mergers and acquisitions or liability management and restructuring transactions often involves complex analysis and the exercise of professional judgment, including, in certain circumstances, rendering fairness opinions in connection with mergers and other transactions.

Substantial legal liability or legal expenses incurred in defending against litigation could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity or cause significant reputational harm to us, which could seriously harm our business.

Particularly in highly volatile markets, the volume of claims and amount of damages claimed in litigation and regulatory proceedings against financial advisors and underwriters can be significant. Our business is also subject to regulation in the countries in which it operates. As this regulatory environment continues to change (in some cases potentially significantly) it is difficult to assess future litigation and regulatory risks. Regulatory changes make it harder for our clients to estimate future potential losses that may be incurred. Our advisory and underwriting activities may subject us to the risk of significant legal liability to our clients and third parties, including our clients' stockholders, under securities or other laws for materially false or misleading statements made in connection with securities and other transactions and potential liability for the fairness opinions and other advice provided to participants in corporate transactions. In addition, a portion of our advisory fees are obtained from liability management and restructuring clients, and often these clients do not have sufficient resources to indemnify us for costs and expenses associated with third-party subpoenas and direct claims, to the extent such claims are not barred as part of the reorganization process. Our engagements typically include broad indemnities from our clients and provisions designed to limit our exposure to legal claims relating to our services, but these provisions may not protect us or may not be adhered to in all cases. These indemnities also are dependent on our client's capacity to pay the amounts claimed. As a result, we may incur significant legal expenses in defending against litigation. In our Investment Management business, we make investment decisions on behalf of our clients that could result in substantial losses. This also may subject us to the risk of legal liability or actions alleging negligent misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty or breach of contract. These risks often may be difficult to assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude often remain unknown for substantial periods of time. Substantial legal liability or legal expenses incurred in defending against litigation could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity or cause significant reputational harm to us, which could seriously harm our business.

We may face damage to our professional reputation if our services are not regarded as satisfactory or for other reasons.

As a financial services firm, we depend to a large extent on our relationships with our clients and our reputation for integrity and high-caliber professional services to attract and retain clients and talent. As a result, if a client is not satisfied with our services, it may be more damaging to our business than in other businesses. Our reputation could be impacted by events that may be difficult or impossible to control, and costly or impossible to remediate. For example, alleged or actual failures by us or our employees to provide satisfactory services or to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations, errors in our public reports, perceptions of our environmental, social and governance practices or business selection (including client selection), or the public announcement and potential publicity surrounding any of these events, even if inaccurate, satisfactorily addressed, or even if no violation or wrongdoing actually occurred, could adversely impact our reputation, our relationships with clients, our ability to negotiate joint ventures and strategic alliances, and our ability to attract and retain talent, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Extensive and evolving regulation of our businesses exposes us to the potential for significant penalties and fines due to compliance failures, increases our costs and limits our ability to engage in certain activities.

As a participant in the financial services industry, we are subject to extensive and evolving regulation by governmental and self-regulatory organizations in jurisdictions around the world, as described further in Item 1. "Business – Regulation" above. Our ability to conduct business and our operating results, including compliance costs, may be adversely affected as a result of any new requirements imposed by the SEC, FINRA, or other U.S. or foreign governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that regulate the financial services industry. We may also be adversely affected by changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws or regulations by these governmental authorities and self-regulatory organizations. Uncertainty about the timing and scope of any changes to existing laws and rules or the implementation of new laws or rules by any regulatory authorities that regulate financial services firms or supervise financial markets, as well as the compliance costs associated with a new regulatory regime, may negatively impact our businesses in the short term, even if the long-term impact of any such changes is positive for our businesses. In addition, policies adopted by clients or prospective clients, which may exceed regulatory requirements, may result in additional compliance costs that materially affect our business. Because certain of our larger competitors are subject to regulations that do not affect us to the same extent, or at all, regulatory reforms may benefit them more than us, including by expanding their permitted activities, reducing their compliance costs or reducing restraints on compensation, any of which could enhance their ability to compete against us for advisory opportunities, for employees or otherwise, in a manner that negatively impacts our business.

Our and our employees' failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations could result in adverse publicity and reputational harm, as well as fines, suspensions of personnel or other sanctions, including revocation of the registration of us or any of our subsidiaries as an investment advisor or broker-dealer. For example, we are subject to extensive bribery and anti-corruption regulation, which can present heightened risks for us due to certain jurisdictions in which we operate and our significant client relationships with governmental entities and certain businesses that receive support from government agencies. Our businesses are subject to periodic examination by various regulatory authorities, and we cannot predict the outcome of any such examinations or estimate the amount of monetary fines or penalties that could be assessed. In addition, adverse regulatory scrutiny of any of our strategic partners could have a material adverse effect on our business and reputation.

Our business is subject to various cybersecurity risks.

We face various cybersecurity risks related to our businesses on a day-to-day basis. We rely heavily on financial, accounting, communication and other data processing systems to securely process, transmit, and store sensitive and confidential client information, and communicate among our locations around the world and with our staff, clients, partners, and vendors. We also depend on third-party software and programs, as well as cloud-based storage platforms as part of our operations. These systems, including the systems of third parties on whom we rely, may fail to operate properly or become disabled as a result of tampering or a breach of our network security systems or otherwise, including for reasons beyond our, or their, control.

~~Our~~In ~~business~~addition, isas ~~subject~~we operate in a financial services industry, we are susceptible to ~~various~~attempts ~~cybersecurity~~to gain unauthorized access of client, customer or other confidential information. We are also at risk for denial-of-service, distributed denial-of-service and/or other cyber-attacks involving the theft, dissemination and destruction of corporate information or other assets, which could result from an employee's, contractor's or other third party vendor's failure to follow data security procedures or as a result of actions by third parties, including actions by governments. These risks may be exacerbated by the use of artificial intelligence. Phishing attacks and email spoofing attacks are becoming more prevalent and are often used to obtain information to impersonate employees or clients in order to, among other things, direct fraudulent bank transfers or obtain valuable information. Fraudulent transfers resulting from phishing attacks or email spoofing of our employees could result in a material loss of assets, reputational harm or legal liability, and in turn materially adversely affect our business. Although cyber-attacks have not, to date, had a material impact on our operations, breaches of our, or third-party, network security systems on which we rely could involve attacks that are intended to obtain unauthorized access to and disclose our proprietary information or our client's proprietary information, destroy data or disable, degrade or sabotage our systems, often through the introduction of computer viruses, cyber-attacks and other means, and could originate from a wide variety of sources, including state actors or other unknown third parties outside the firm.

In addition, as we operate in a financial services industry, we are susceptible to attempts to gain unauthorized access of client, customer or other confidential information.

There can be no assurance that we, or the third parties on whom we rely, will be able to anticipate, detect or implement effective preventative measures against frequently changing cyber threats. We expect to incur significant costs in maintaining and enhancing appropriate protections to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated methods of attack. In addition to the implementation of data security measures, we require our employees to maintain the confidentiality of the proprietary information we hold. If an employee's failure to follow proper data security procedures results in the improper release of confidential information, or our systems are otherwise compromised, do not operate properly or are disabled, we could suffer a disruption of our business, financial losses, liability to clients, regulatory sanctions and damage to our reputation. See Item 1C. "Cybersecurity" for further information regarding our cybersecurity practices, policies and procedures.

We are exposed to risks and costs associated with protecting the integrity and security of our clients', employees' and others' personal data and other sensitive information.

As part of our business, we manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential client or employee data, including personal data. As a result, we are subject to various risks and costs associated with the collection, handling, storage and transmission of personal data, including those related to compliance with U.S. and foreign data protection and privacy laws and other contractual obligations, as well as those associated with the compromise of our systems collecting such personal data. These laws and regulations are increasing in complexity and number and the burden of our compliance with them is growing. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), which applies across the EU and the U.K., imposes stringent requirements regarding the processing of personal data. Failure to meet the GDPR requirements could, in serious cases, result in penalties of up to four percent of annual worldwide revenue turnover. Several other jurisdictions, including in the United States, have also adopted or are considering similar legislation. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act provides data privacy rights for consumers and privacy related operational requirements for companies and similar data privacy laws have been enacted in other states, which may increase our compliance costs.

If any person, including any of our employees, negligently disregards or intentionally breaches our established controls with respect to client or employee data, or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates that data, we could be subject to significant monetary damages, regulatory enforcement actions, fines and/or criminal prosecution. In addition, unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or employee data, whether through cyber-attacks, systems failure, employee negligence, fraud or misappropriation, could damage our reputation and cause us to lose clients and related revenue in the future. Potential liability in the event of a security breach of client data could be significant and depending on the circumstances giving rise to the breach, this liability may not be subject to a contractual limit of liability or an exclusion of consequential or indirect damages.

Any failure to comply with these regulations could expose us to liability and/or reputational damage. In addition, our businesses are increasingly subject to laws and regulations relating to surveillance, encryption and data on-shoring in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to change our policies, procedures and technology for information security, which could, among other things, make us more vulnerable to cyber-attacks and misappropriation, corruption or loss of information or technology.

Table of Contents

Our business is subject to various operational risks.

We operate in businesses that are highly dependent on proper processing of financial transactions. In our Equities business, and our Wealth Management business in particular, we must consistently and reliably obtain securities pricing information, properly execute and process client transactions and provide reports and other customer service to our clients. Our trading activities present opportunities for trade errors and other operational errors in connection with the processing of transactions. The occurrence of trade or other operational errors or the failure to keep accurate books and records can render us liable to disciplinary action by governmental and self-regulatory authorities, as well as to claims by our clients. We also rely on third-party service providers for certain aspects of our business. Any interruption or deterioration in the performance of these third parties or failures of their information systems and technology could impair our operations, affect our reputation and adversely affect our businesses.

In addition, if we were to experience a disaster or other business continuity problem, such as an epidemic, a pandemic, other man-made or natural disaster or disruption involving electronic communications or other services used by us or third parties with whom we conduct business, our continued success will depend, in part, on the availability of our personnel and office facilities and the proper functioning of our computer, software, telecommunications, transaction processing and other related systems and operations, as well as those of third parties on whom we rely. Although in the past we have been able to continue business operations through disruptions, we cannot guarantee in the future that similar events will not result in a material disruption to our business that may cause material financial loss, regulatory action, reputation harm or legal liability, and if significant portions of our workforce, including key personnel, are unable to work effectively because of illness, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with a pandemic, the impact of a pandemic on our business could be exacerbated. In particular, we depend on our headquarters in New York City, where a large number of our personnel are located, for the continued operation of our business. Although we have developed business continuity plans and enhanced our remote working capabilities, a disaster or a disruption in the infrastructure that supports our businesses, a disruption involving electronic communications or other services used by us or third parties with whom we conduct business, or a disruption that directly affects our headquarters, could have a material adverse impact on our ability to continue to operate our business without interruption. The incidence and severity of disasters or other business continuity problems are unpredictable, and our inability to timely and successfully recover could materially disrupt our businesses and cause material financial loss, regulatory actions, reputational harm or legal liability.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance, our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance. We cannot provide assurance that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal of, and interest on, our indebtedness, including our senior notes (the "Private Placement Notes") described in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements and other indebtedness. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, including the principal and semi-annual interest payments noted above, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the Private Placement Notes and other contractual commitments.

Table of Contents

Our clients may be unable to pay us for our services.

We face the risk that certain clients may not have sufficient financial resources to pay, or otherwise refuse to pay, our agreed-upon advisory fees, including in the bankruptcy or insolvency context. If a client's financial difficulties become severe, the client may be unwilling or unable to pay our invoices in the ordinary course of business, which could adversely affect collections of both our accounts receivable and unbilled services. On occasion, some of our clients have entered bankruptcy, which has prevented us from collecting amounts owed to us. The bankruptcy of a number of our clients that, in the aggregate, owe us substantial accounts receivable could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if a number of clients declare bankruptcy after paying us certain invoices, courts may determine that we are not properly entitled to those payments and may require repayment of some or all of the amounts we received, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Certain clients may also be unwilling to pay our advisory fees in whole or in part, in which case we may have to incur significant costs to bring legal action to enforce our engagement agreements to obtain our advisory fees.

Goodwill, other intangible assets, equity method investments and other investments represent a portion of our assets, and an impairment of these assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Goodwill, other intangible assets, equity method investments and other investments represent a portion of our assets. We assess these assets at least annually for impairment, however, we may need to perform impairment tests more frequently if events or circumstances occur, that indicate the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, attrition of key personnel, a prolonged decline in our stock price and market capitalization, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of one of our businesses and other factors. The valuation of our reporting units, long-lived intangible assets, equity method investments or other investments requires judgment in estimating future cash flows, discount rates and other factors. In making these judgments, we evaluate the financial health of our reporting units, long-lived intangible assets, equity method investments or other investments, including such factors as market performance, changes in our client base and projected growth rates. Because these factors are ever changing, due to market and general business conditions, we cannot predict whether, and to what extent, our goodwill, long-lived intangible assets, equity method investments and other investments may be impaired in future periods.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could materially adversely affect our business.

We have documented and tested our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors regarding our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able or willing to issue an unqualified report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Matters impacting our internal controls may cause us to be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis and thereby subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions by the SEC, or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements is also likely to suffer if we identify a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect us and lead to a decline in the market price of our shares.

A change in relevant tax laws, regulations or treaties or an adverse interpretation of these items by tax authorities could result in an audit adjustment to tax-related liabilities, or revaluation of our net deferred tax assets that may cause our effective tax rate and/or and tax liabilities to be higher than what is currently presented in the consolidated financial statements.

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income and other taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for these taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. In some cases, this process requires us to estimate our actual current tax liability and to assess temporary differences resulting from differing book versus tax treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, compensation and benefits expense, unrealized gains and losses on long-term investments and depreciation. Our effective tax rate and tax liabilities are based on the application of current tax laws, regulations and treaties. These laws, regulations and treaties are complex, and the manner in which they apply to our facts and circumstances can be open to interpretation. Management believes its application of current laws, regulations and treaties to be correct and sustainable upon examination by the tax authorities. However, the tax authorities could challenge our interpretation, resulting in additional tax liability or adjustment to our tax provision that could increase our effective tax rate or tax-related liabilities. For example, a recent interpretation reached by a judicial authority has challenged the employment tax treatment of partnership members. While that challenge remains subject to a judicial review process, and we and our subsidiaries are not a party to the proceedings, the ultimate outcome may impact our tax position. In addition, tax laws, regulations or treaties newly enacted or enacted in the future, or interpretations of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or other tax laws, may cause us to revalue our net deferred tax assets and have a material change to our effective tax rate.

Our inability to successfully identify, consummate and integrate acquisitions and/or alliances, including through joint ventures or investments, as part of our growth initiatives could have adverse consequences to our business.

We may expand our various businesses through additional acquisitions, entering into joint ventures and strategic alliances, and internally developing new opportunities that are complementary to our existing businesses and where we think we can add substantial value or generate substantial returns. The success of this strategy will depend on, among other things, the availability of suitable opportunities and capital resources to effect our strategy; the level of competition from other companies that may have greater financial resources than we do or may not require the same level of disclosure of these activities; our ability to value acquisition and investment candidates accurately and negotiate acceptable terms for those acquisitions and investments; and our ability to identify and enter into mutually beneficial relationships with joint venture partners.

Additionally, integrating acquired businesses, providing a platform for new businesses and partnering with other firms involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial, operational and reputational challenges, including the following factors, among others: loss of key employees or customers; possible inconsistencies in or conflicts between standards, controls, procedures and policies and the need to implement company-wide financial, accounting, information technology and other systems; failure to maintain the quality of services that have historically been provided; failure to coordinate geographically diverse organizations; disagreements between us and our partners; compliance with regulatory requirements in regions in which new businesses and ventures are located; and the diversion of management's attention from our day-to-day business as a result of the need to manage any disruptions and difficulties and the need to add management resources to do so. Our inability to develop, integrate and manage acquired companies, joint ventures or other strategic relationships and growth initiatives in an efficient and cost-effective manner, or at all, could have material adverse short- and long-term effects on our operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

We may not realize the cost savings, revenue enhancements or other benefits that we expected from our growth initiatives.

Our analyses of the benefits and costs of expanding our businesses necessarily involve assumptions as to future events, including general business and industry conditions, the longevity of specific customer engagements and relationships, operating costs and competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control and may not materialize. While we believe our analyses and their underlying assumptions to be reasonable, they are estimates that are necessarily speculative in nature. In addition, new regulatory requirements and conflicts may reduce the synergies that we expect to result from our growth initiatives. Even if we achieve the expected benefits, we may not be able to achieve them within the anticipated time frame. Also, the cost savings and other synergies from these growth initiatives may be offset by costs incurred in integrating the companies, increases in other expenses or problems in the business unrelated to these growth initiatives. In the case of joint ventures, we are subject to additional risks and uncertainties in that we may be dependent upon, and subject to liability, losses or reputational damage relating to personnel, systems and activities that are not under our direct and sole control, and conflicts and disagreements between us and our joint venture partners may negatively impact our business.

Risks Related to Our Investment Banking & Equities Business

A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from advisory assignments for Investment Banking & Equities clients, which are not long-term contracted sources of revenue and are subject to intense competition, and declines in these engagements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We historically have earned a substantial portion of our revenue from fees paid to us by our Investment Banking & Equities clients for advisory and underwriting services. These fees are typically payable upon the successful completion of a particular transaction or restructuring. Our Advisory Fees and Underwriting Fees in the aggregate accounted for 9091%, 8890% and 9088% of our revenues, excluding Other Revenue, net, in ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, respectively. We expect that we will continue to rely on advisory services for a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, a decline in advisory engagements, or the market for advisory services, would adversely affect our business.

In addition, our Advisory professionals operate in a highly-competitive environment where typically there are no long-term contracted sources of revenue. Each revenue-generating engagement typically is separately solicited, awarded and negotiated. In addition, many businesses do not routinely engage in transactions requiring our services. As a consequence, our fee-paying engagements with many clients are not likely to be predictable and high levels of revenue in one quarter are not necessarily predictive of continued high levels of revenue in future periods. We also lose clients each year as a result of the sale or merger of a client, a change in a client's senior management, competition from other financial advisors and financial institutions and other causes. As a result, our advisory fees could decline materially due to such changes in the volume, nature and scope of our engagements.

Table of Contents

We face strong competition from other financial advisory firms, many of which have the ability to offer clients a wider range of products and services than we can offer, which could cause us to fail to win advisory mandates and subject us to pricing pressures that could materially adversely affect our revenue and profitability.

The financial advisory industry is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change, and we expect it to remain so. We compete on both a global and regional basis, and on the basis of a number of factors, including the quality of our employees, industry knowledge, transaction execution skills, our products and services, innovation, reputation, strength of relationships and price. We have experienced intense competition for advisory mandates in recent years, and we may experience pricing pressures in our Investment Banking & Equities business in the future, as some of our competitors seek to obtain increased market share by reducing fees. When making proposals for fixed-fee engagements, we estimate the costs and timing for completing the engagements. These estimates reflect our best judgment regarding the efficiencies of our methodologies and financial professionals as we plan to deploy them on engagements. Any unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of such engagements could make these contracts less profitable, or unprofitable, which would have an adverse effect on our profit margins.

Several of our competitors include large financial institutions, many of which have far greater financial and other resources and greater name recognition than us and, unlike us, have the ability to offer a wider range of products, which may enhance their competitive position. They also regularly support services we do not provide, such as commercial lending and other financial services and products, which puts us at a competitive disadvantage and could result in pricing pressures or lost opportunities, which could materially adversely affect our revenue and profitability. In addition, we may be at a competitive disadvantage with regard to certain of our competitors who have larger customer bases, have more professionals to serve their clients' needs and are able to provide financing or otherwise commit capital to clients that are often a crucial component of the Investment Banking & Equities transactions on which we advise.

In addition to our larger competitors, we face competition from a number of independent investment banks that offer only independent advisory services, which stress their lack of other businesses as a competitive advantage. As these independent firms or new entrants into the market seek to gain market share, there could be additional pricing and competitive pressures, which may impact our ability to implement our growth strategy and ultimately materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our Equities business relies on non-affiliated third-party service providers.

Our Equities business has entered into service agreements with third-party service providers for order management, trade execution, settlement and clearance of client securities transactions and research distribution. This business faces the risk of operational failure of any of the vendors we use to facilitate our securities transactions or research distribution. Our senior management and officers oversee and manage these relationships. Poor oversight and control or inferior performance or service on the part of the service provider could result in loss of customers and violations of applicable rules and regulations. Any such failure could adversely affect our ability to effect transactions and to manage our exposure to risk.

Underwriting and trading activities expose us to risks.

We may incur losses and be subject to reputational harm to the extent that, for any reason, we are unable to sell securities we purchased as an underwriter at the anticipated price levels. As an underwriter, we also are subject to liability for material misstatements or omissions in prospectuses and other offering documents relating to offerings we underwrite. In such cases, any indemnification provisions in the applicable underwriting agreement may not be enforceable or available to us, for example, if the client is not financially able to satisfy its indemnification obligations in whole, or part, or the scope of the indemnity is not sufficient to protect us against financial or reputational losses arising from such liability. In addition, the associated litigation process can place operational strain on our business.

Further, as customer trading activities expose us to potential losses, we may have to purchase or sell securities at prevailing market prices in the event a customer fails to settle a trade on its original terms. We seek to manage the risks associated with customer trading activities through customer screening, internal review and trading policies and procedures, but such policies and procedures may not be effective in all cases.

If the number of debt defaults or bankruptcies declines or other factors affect the demand for our liability management and restructuring services, our liability management and restructuring revenue could be adversely affected.

We provide financial advice and investment banking services to companies in financial transition, as well as to creditors, shareholders and potential acquirers of such companies. Our services may include reviewing and analyzing the business, financial condition and prospects of the company or providing advice on strategic transactions, capital raising or liability management and restructurings. We also may provide advisory services to companies that have sought, or are planning to seek, protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or other similar processes in non-U.S. jurisdictions. A number of factors affect demand for these advisory services, including general economic conditions, the availability and cost of debt and equity financing, governmental policy and changes to laws, rules and regulations, including those that protect creditors. In addition, providing liability management and restructuring advisory services entails the risk that the transaction will be unsuccessful, or take considerable time, and be subject to a bankruptcy court's authority to disallow or discount our fees. If the number of debt defaults or bankruptcies declines, or other factors affect the demand for our liability management and restructuring advisory services, our liability management and restructuring business would be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to Our Investment Management Business

The amount and mix of our AUM are subject to significant fluctuations.

The revenues and profitability of our Wealth Management business are derived from providing investment management and related services. The level of our revenues depends largely on the level and mix of AUM. Fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM may be attributable, in part, to market conditions outside of our control that have had, and in the future could have, a negative impact on our revenues and income. Any decrease in the value or amount of our AUM because of market volatility or other factors negatively impacts our revenues and income. We are subject to an increased risk of asset volatility from changes in the global financial and equity markets. Global economic conditions, exacerbated by war or terrorism, health emergencies or financial crises, changes in the equity marketplace, trade disputes, restrictions on travel, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, interest rates, inflation rates, the yield curve, and other factors that are difficult to predict affect the mix, market values and levels of our AUM. Moreover, changing market conditions may cause a shift in our asset mix between international and U.S. assets, potentially resulting in a decline in our revenue and income depending upon the nature of our AUM and the level of management fees we earn based on them. Additionally, changing market conditions may cause a shift in our asset mix towards fixed-income products and a related decline in our revenue and income, as in the U.S. we generally derive higher fee revenues and income from equity assets than from fixed-income products we manage.

If the funds we manage or invest in perform poorly, we will suffer a decline in our investment management revenue and earnings, and our Investment Management business may be adversely affected.

Revenue from our Wealth Management business is derived from fees earned for the management of client assets, generally based on the market value of AUM. Poor investment performance by these businesses, on an absolute basis or as compared to third-party benchmarks or competitors, could stimulate higher redemptions, thereby lowering AUM and reducing the fees we earn, even in periods when securities prices are generally rising. In addition, if the investments we make on behalf of our funds and clients perform poorly, it may be more difficult for us to attract new investors, launch new products or offer new services in our Wealth Management business. Furthermore, if the volatility in the U.S. and global markets causes a decline in the price of securities that constitutes a significant portion of our AUM, our clients could withdraw funds from, or be hesitant to invest in, our Investment Management business due to the uncertainty or volatility in the market or in favor of investments they perceive as offering greater opportunity or lower risk, which would also result in lower investment management revenue.

Our Investment Management business' reliance on non-affiliated third-party service providers subjects the Company to operational risks.

We have entered into services agreements with third-party service providers for custodial services and trust and investment administration processing and reporting services. Our officers oversee and manage these relationships; however, poor oversight and control on our part or inferior performance or service on the part of the service providers could result in a loss of customers, violation of applicable rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, data protection, privacy and anti-money laundering laws and otherwise adversely affect our business and operations.

loss of customers, violation of applicable rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, data protection, privacy and anti-money laundering laws and otherwise adversely affect our business and operations.

Our agreements with the OCC require us to maintain and segregate certain assets, and our failure to comply with these agreements (including if we are required to access these assets for other purposes) could adversely affect us.

Evercore Inc. and Evercore LP are party to a Capital and Liquidity Support Agreement, a Capital and Liquidity Maintenance Agreement and other related agreements with the OCC related to ETC (collectively, the "OCC Agreements"). The OCC Agreements require Evercore Inc. and Evercore LP to provide ETC necessary capital and liquidity support in order to ensure that ETC continues to operate safely and soundly and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In particular, the OCC Agreements require that Evercore Inc. and Evercore LP (1) maintain at least $5 million in Tier 1 capital in ETC or such other amount as the OCC may require and (2) maintain liquid assets in ETC in an amount at least equal to the greater of $3.5 million or 180 days coverage of ETC's operating expenses.

If we fail to comply with any of the OCC Agreements, we could become subject to civil money penalties, regulatory enforcement actions, payment of damages and, if the OCC deems it likely that we are unable to fulfill our obligations or breach the OCC Agreements, a forced disposition of ETC. The occurrence of any of these events or the disclosure that these events are probable or under consideration may cause reputational harm and erosion of client trust, due to a perception that we are unable to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, unable to successfully launch new initiatives and businesses, or that our reputation for integrity and high-caliber professional services is no longer valid, any of which could adversely affect our business and operations.

Risks Related to Our International Operations

A meaningful portion of our revenues are derived from our international operations, which are subject to certain risks.

In ~~2024~~2025, we earned 24% of our Total Revenues, excluding Other Revenue, and 2524% of our Investment Banking & Equities Revenues from clients located outside of the United States. Generally, we intend to grow our non-U.S. business, and this growth is critical to our overall success. Many of our large Investment Banking & Equities clients are non-U.S. entities seeking to enter into transactions involving U.S. businesses. Our international operations carry special financial and business risks, which could include, but are not limited to, greater difficulties managing and staffing foreign operations; language and cultural differences; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely affect our results; unexpected and costly changes in tariff and trading policies, regulatory requirements, tariffs and other barriers; restrictions on travel; greater difficulties in collecting accounts receivable; longer transaction cycles; higher operating costs; local labor conditions and regulations; adverse consequences or restrictions on the repatriation of earnings; potentially adverse tax consequences, such as trapped foreign losses; less stable political and economic environments; civil disturbances or other catastrophic events that reduce business activity; disasters or other business continuity problems, such as pandemics, other man-made or natural disaster or disruption involving electronic communications or other services; and international trade issues.

As part of our day-to-day operations outside of the United States, we are required to create compensation programs, employment policies, compliance policies and procedures and other administrative programs that comply with the laws of multiple countries. We also must communicate and monitor standards and directives across our global operations. Our failure to successfully manage and grow our geographically diverse operations could impair our ability to react quickly to changing business and market conditions and to enforce compliance with non-U.S. standards, laws, regulations and procedures.

If our international business increases relative to our total business, these factors could have a more pronounced effect on our operating results. See also "—Difficult market conditions may adversely affect our business in many ways, including reducing the volume of the transactions involving our Investment Banking & Equities business, which may materially reduce our revenue or income."

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect our results.

Because our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and we receive a portion of our revenues in other currencies, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. In addition, we pay certain of our expenses in such currencies. Generally, we do not enter into any transactions to hedge our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations in our foreign subsidiaries through the use of derivative instruments or otherwise. An appreciation or depreciation of any of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would result in an adverse or beneficial impact, respectively, to our financial results. On occasion, we enter into foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable in EGL or other commitments. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Table of Contents

denominated accounts receivable in EGL or other commitments. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

The cost of compliance with international broker-dealer, employment, labor, benefits and tax regulations may adversely affect our business and hamper our ability to expand internationally.

Since we operate our business both in the U.S. and internationally, we are subject to many distinct broker-dealer, employment, labor, benefits and tax laws in each jurisdiction in which we operate, including regulations affecting our employment practices and our relations with our employees and service providers. If we are required to comply with new regulations or new interpretations of existing regulations, or if we are unable to comply with these regulations or interpretations, our business could be adversely affected or the cost of compliance may make it difficult to expand into new international markets. Additionally, our competitiveness in international markets may be adversely affected by regulations requiring, among other things, the awarding of contracts to local contractors, the employment of local citizens and/or the purchase of services from local businesses.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure

We are required to pay some of our current and former Senior Managing Directors for most of the benefits relating to any additional tax depreciation or amortization deductions we may claim as a result of the tax basis step-up we receive in connection with exchanges of Evercore LP partnership units ("LP Units") for shares and related transactions.

As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, there were certain vested LP Units held by some of our Senior Managing Directors and former employees that may in the future be exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock. The exchanges may result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of Evercore LP that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the IRS may challenge all or part of that tax basis increase, and a court could sustain such a challenge.

We have entered into a tax receivable agreement with some of our current and former Senior Managing Directors that provides for the payment by us to these Senior Managing Directors of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize as a result of these increases in tax basis. While the actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under this agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the price of shares of our Class A common stock at the time of the exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, and the amount and timing of our income, we expect that, as a result of the size of the increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP attributable to our interest in Evercore LP, during the expected term of the tax receivable agreement, the payments that we may make to our Senior Managing Directors could be substantial. Changes in tax legislation may modify the amounts paid under the agreement. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act included a permanent reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, which reduced future amounts to be paid under the agreement with respect to tax years beginning in 2018. In addition, there are numerous other provisions which may also have an impact on the amount of tax to be paid. To the extent that there are future changes or modifications to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or other legislation that increases our federal corporate tax rate, our payment obligations under the tax receivable agreement could increase.

Although we are not aware of any issue that would cause the IRS to challenge a tax basis increase, Senior Managing Directors who receive payments will not reimburse us for any payments that may previously have been made under the tax receivable agreement. As a result, in certain circumstances we could make payments to some of the Senior Managing Directors under the tax receivable agreement in excess of our cash tax savings. Our ability to achieve benefits from any tax basis increase, and the payments to be made under this agreement, will depend upon a number of factors, as discussed above, including the timing and amount of our future income.

Our only material asset is our interest in Evercore LP, and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions from Evercore LP to pay dividends, taxes and other expenses.

The Company is a holding company and has no material assets other than its ownership of partnership units of Evercore LP. The Company has no independent means of generating revenue. We intend to cause Evercore LP to make distributions to its partners in an amount sufficient to cover all applicable taxes payable, other expenses and dividends, if any, declared by us.

Payments of dividends, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including economic and business conditions; our financial condition and operating results; our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs; our capital requirements; applicable contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions; implications of the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiaries (including Evercore LP) to us; and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Table of Contents

and current and anticipated cash needs; our capital requirements; applicable contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions; implications of the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiaries (including Evercore LP) to us; and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

In addition, Evercore LP is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a partner to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of Evercore LP (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets. Furthermore, certain subsidiaries of Evercore LP may be subject to similar legal limitations on their ability to make distributions to Evercore LP. Moreover, our regulated subsidiaries may be subject to regulatory capital requirements that limit the distributions that may be made by those subsidiaries.

Deterioration in the financial condition, earnings or cash flow of Evercore LP and its subsidiaries for any reason could limit or impair their ability to pay such distributions. Additionally, to the extent that the Company requires funds and Evercore LP is restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of financing arrangements, or is otherwise unable to provide such funds, our liquidity and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, regulated subsidiaries of Evercore LP had $1.2465 billion of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities. Amounts held in regulated entities may be subject to advance notification requirements to, or regulatory approval from, their relevant regulatory body prior to distribution, which could delay or restrict access to such capital.

If Evercore Inc. were deemed an "investment company" under the 1940 Act as a result of its ownership of Evercore LP, applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

If Evercore Inc. were to cease participation in the management of Evercore LP, its interest in Evercore LP could be deemed an "investment security" for purposes of the 1940 Act. Generally, a person is deemed to be an "investment company" if it owns investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items), absent an applicable exemption. Evercore Inc. will have no material assets other than its equity interest in Evercore LP. A determination that this interest was an investment security could result in Evercore Inc. being an investment company under the 1940 Act and becoming subject to the registration and other requirements of the 1940 Act.

The 1940 Act and the rules thereunder contain detailed parameters for the organization and operations of investment companies. Among other things, the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder limit or prohibit transactions with affiliates, impose limitations on the issuance of debt and equity securities, prohibit the issuance of stock options, and impose certain governance requirements. We intend to conduct our operations so that Evercore Inc. will not be deemed to be an investment company under the 1940 Act. However, if anything were to happen which would cause Evercore Inc. to be deemed to be an investment company under the 1940 Act, requirements imposed by the 1940 Act, including limitations on our capital structure, ability to transact business with affiliates and ability to compensate key employees, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as currently conducted, impair the agreements and arrangements between and among Evercore Inc., Evercore LP or our Senior Managing Directors, or any combination thereof and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Class A Common Stock

Our employees control a significant portion of the voting power in Evercore Inc., which may give rise to conflicts of interests.

Our employees own shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock. Our certificate of incorporation provides that the holders of the shares of our Class B common stock are entitled to a number of votes that is determined pursuant to a formula that relates to the number of LP Units held by such holders. Each holder of Class B common stock is entitled, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by such holder, to one vote for each partnership unit in Evercore LP held by such holder. Our employees, and certain trusts benefiting their families, collectively, have a significant portion of the voting power in Evercore Inc. As a result, our employees have the ability to exercise influence over the election of the members of our Board of Directors and, therefore, influence over our management and affairs, including determinations with respect to acquisitions, dispositions, borrowings, issuances of common stock or other securities, and the declaration and payment of dividends. In addition, they are able to exercise influence over the outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval. This concentration of ownership could deprive our other Class A stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

Table of Contents

receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

Our share price may decline or we may have a significant increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding due to the large number of shares eligible for future sale and for exchange.

The market price of our Class A common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of Class A common stock in the market or the perception that such sales could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

Further, we have historically repurchased a significant number of shares of our Class A common stock in the open market. If we were to cease or were unable to repurchase shares of Class A common stock, or choose to allocate available capital to the repayment of borrowings or other expenditures, the number of shares outstanding would increase over time, diluting the ownership of existing stockholders.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation allows the exchange of Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class A LP Units"), Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units"), Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units") and Class K limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class K LP Units") (other than those held by us) for shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. The shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exchange of the partnership units that are held by our Senior Managing Directors and certain other employees of the Company are eligible for resale from time to time, subject to certain contractual and Securities Act restrictions.

Further, as part of annual bonuses and incentive compensation, we award restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, as well as to new hires. Each RSU represents the holder's right to receive one share of our Class A common stock following the applicable vesting date. Should we issue RSUs in excess of the amount remaining as authorized for issuance under the Third Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, these awards would be accounted for as liability awards, with changes in the fair value of these awards reflected as compensation expense until authorization is obtained.

Some of our Senior Managing Directors are parties to registration rights agreements with us. Under these agreements, these persons have the ability to cause us to register the shares of our Class A common stock they could acquire.

The market price of our Class A common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of our Class A common stock to decline.

Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price of our Class A common stock in spite of our operating performance. In addition, our operating results could be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, and in response, the market price of our Class A common stock could decrease significantly.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control.

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider favorable by permitting our Board of Directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock, requiring advance notice for stockholder proposals and nominations and placing limitations on convening stockholder meetings. In addition, we are subject to provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law that restrict certain business combinations with interested stockholders. These provisions may also discourage acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in control, which could harm our stock price.

Item 1C.			Cybersecurity

Managing information technology ("IT") and cybersecurity risks, including maintaining confidentiality and privacy for our clients and employees, is critical to the successful operation of our business. We are aware that there are risks presented by cybersecurity, including how those risks may increase with the use by others of artificial intelligence, and are committed to preventing and mitigating such risks by following the below framework.

Board of Directors Oversight

Table of Contents

Committee are updated periodically on cybersecurity matters. Our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and General Counsel both report directly to our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and periodically meet with the Audit Committee in conjunction with a review of our quarterly and annual periodic SEC filings to discuss important risks we face, highlighting any new risks that have arisen since the prior meeting. Specifically with respect to cybersecurity, our Chief Information Officer ("CIO") and Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO") join our CFO and General Counsel to provide updates directly to the Audit Committee, along with third party experts engaged to recommend enhancements to and improve the Company’s cybersecurity practices. In addition, all non-management members of the Board of Directors ~~Oversight~~are invited to attend all committee meetings, regardless of whether the individual sits on the specific committee. Board of Directors members have access to senior executives, including our CFO and General Counsel, and in addition to periodic reports, we maintain formal processes for escalating live issues to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, as described below.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is charged with a majority of the risk oversight responsibilities on behalf of the Board of Directors, including risks associated with IT and cybersecurity. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee are updated periodically on cybersecurity matters. Our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and General Counsel both report directly to our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and periodically meet with the Audit Committee in conjunction with a review of our quarterly and annual periodic SEC filings to discuss important risks we face, highlighting any new risks that have arisen since the prior meeting. Specifically with respect to cybersecurity, our Chief Information Officer ("CIO") and Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO") join our CFO and General Counsel to provide updates directly to the Audit Committee, along with third party experts engaged to recommend enhancements to and improve the Company’s cybersecurity practices.

Board of Directors members have access to senior executives, including our CFO and General Counsel, and in addition to periodic reports, we maintain formal processes for escalating live issues to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, as described below.

Management

On a day-to-day basis, our CISO leads our cybersecurity program with support from senior leadership. Our Information Security program is a bespoke program created for the Company and is guided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. The Information Security team is composed of three core functional areas, which work collaboratively to keep our assets secure:

•Governance, Risk, & Administration. Responsible for setting policy, maintaining and conducting risk assessments, ensuring regulatory compliance in partnership with our legal and compliance team, coordinating audits, evaluating new technology platforms, and overseeing the Company’s data governance, vendor risk management, and training programs.

•Security Operations. Responsible for monitoring our security posture on an ongoing basis, including alert response and escalation. This team is supported by a third-party security firm that serves as the Company’s Security Operations Center and performs continuous monitoring of security across the enterprise.

•Security Architecture. Responsible for managing and maintaining security systems and identity management programs, as well as performing security reviews for key technology platforms.

The CISO leads our Information Security team and is responsible for establishing and maintaining the Enterprise Information Security Policy (the "Policy"). Our CISO has over a decade of experience in information security strategy, audit and risk management, as well as technical leadership expertise. To stay abreast of the evolving threat landscape, the CISO is active in the cyber community through discussions with peer groups, industry experts and law enforcement agencies. Members of the Information Security team have backgrounds in cybersecurity or experience applicable to their roles, including relevant industry certifications.

Our Enterprise Information Security Policy contains existing controls to protect information systems (and the data hosted within) and to educate personnel as to the proper use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of that data. The Policy is further intended to reasonably protect our systems and data against internal and external threats that could impact it. We periodically review this Policy for improvements and request each account user to read and attest to the Policy as updates are made. We employ a Defense-in-Depth approach to information security, which includes adoption of network perimeter, endpoint, and end-user controls in accordance with the Policy. We are focused on improvement of our security posture; we are periodically assessed by internal and external audits, as well as third-party security experts, such that our program continues to address and respond to evolving threats.

Education and awareness to cyber threats is a core component of our information security program. All employees undergo dedicated cybersecurity training as part of their onboarding process and on an ongoing basis. In recent years, we have enhanced our employee education and awareness program to focus on engagement, including through frequent phishing campaign assessments, communications from our CISO and reinforcement from other senior leaders on relevant cyber threats. We have also engaged third-party experts to perform penetration tests and assess our response mechanisms and hosted tabletop exercises with senior leaders to test our incident response preparedness. These organizations, as well as other third parties that do business with us, are reviewed as part of our Vendor Risk Management program. To foster prompt response to incidents, recovery of lost data, and minimal impact to strategic operations in emergency events, we maintain, test, and regularly review our Incident Response, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans.

Incident Response Plan

We have adopted an Incident Response Plan to provide a formal framework for responding to cybersecurity incidents. The overall purpose of the framework is to provide procedures designed to protect and preserve the availability, integrity and confidentiality of the Company’s information and network assets, regardless of format. The plan was designed with the objective of performing timely investigations and assessments of the severity of the incidents (including the sensitivity of the information compromised), taking all appropriate measures to contain and control damage to customers resulting from the incident, returning to normal operating conditions as quickly as possible, and taking appropriate steps to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including our disclosure obligations under the securities laws.

The Incident Response Plan establishes procedures for assessing threats, determining when escalation of threats is required, and establishing a coordinated, multi-functional response to mitigate the impact of any incidents. After becoming aware of an incident, our cybersecurity team will review the incident against several critical questions to guide our immediate response. If an incident requires escalation, our core response team, which includes our CIO, CISO, General Counsel, CFO, Chief Compliance Officer, and other business leaders, is responsible for analyzing the materiality of the incident (including whether the incident qualifies as a material cyber event under SEC cybersecurity rules) and leading our response. The core response team is responsible for involving other corporate and business leaders throughout the organization as appropriate for communication and incident resolution, as well as communicating with the Board of Directors regarding the incident and management’s response as appropriate.

Impact of Cybersecurity Risk

During the period covered by this report, we are not aware of any cyber incidents that, individually or in the aggregate, have been material to our operations or financial condition. Additionally, we do not believe that risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, are reasonably likely to materially affect our strategy, results of operations or financial condition over the long term. For a discussion of cybersecurity risk, see the information contained under the heading "Our business is subject to various cybersecurity risks" in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Form 10-K.


Item 2.			Properties

Our principal offices are located in leased office space at 55 East 52nd Street, New York, New York and at 1 and 15 Stanhope Gate in London, U.K. We do not own any real property.


Item 3.			Legal Proceedings

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

PART II


Item 5.			Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Evercore Class A Common Stock

Our Class A common stock is listed on the NYSE and is traded under the symbol "EVR." At the close of business on February 1211, ~~2025~~2026, there were 3437 Class A common stockholders of record. This is not the actual number of beneficial owners of the Company's common stock, as shares are held in "street name" by brokers and others on behalf of individual owners.

There is no trading market for the Evercore Inc. Class B common stock. As of February 1211, ~~2025~~2026, there were 4645 holders of record of the Class B common stock.

Dividend Policy

The Company paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.8084 per share of Class A common stock for the quarters ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, September 30, ~~2024~~2025 and June 30, ~~2024~~2025, $0.7680 per share for the quarters ended March 31, ~~2024~~2025, December 31, ~~2023~~2024, September 30, ~~2023~~2024 and June 30, ~~2023~~2024 and $0.7276 per share for the quarter ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024.

We pay dividend equivalents, in the form of deferred cash dividends or unvested RSU awards, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A common shares, on all unvested and vested RSU grants. The dividend equivalents have the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSU award.

The declaration and payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors will take into account: general economic and business conditions; our financial condition and operating results; our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs; capital requirements; contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions and implications on the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiaries (including Evercore LP) to us; and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

We are a holding company and have no material assets other than our ownership of partnership units of Evercore LP. We intend to cause Evercore LP to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover dividends, if any, declared by us and tax distributions. If Evercore LP makes such distributions, the limited partners of Evercore LP may be entitled to receive equivalent distributions from Evercore LP on their partnership units.

Further, on April 29, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized (in addition to the net settlement of equity awards) the repurchase of Class A Shares and/or LP Units so that from that date forward, we are able to repurchase an aggregate of the lesser of $1.6 billion worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 8.0 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date.

Item 7.			Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Evercore Inc.'s consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Key Financial Measures

Revenue

Total revenues reflect revenues from our Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management business segments that include fees for services, transaction-related client reimbursements and other revenue. Net revenues reflect total revenues less interest expense.

Investment Banking & Equities. Our Investment Banking & Equities segment earns fees from its clients for providing advice on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, capital raising, leveraged buyouts, liability management and restructurings, private funds advisory and private capital markets services, activism and defense and similar corporate finance matters, and from underwriting and private placement activities, as well as commissions, fees and principal revenues from research and sales and trading activities. The amount and timing of the fees paid vary by the type of engagement or services provided. In general, advisory fees are paid at the time we sign an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. The majority of our revenue consists of advisory fees for which realizations are dependent on the successful completion of client transactions. A transaction can fail to be completed for many reasons which are outside of our control, including failure of parties to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, to secure necessary board or shareholder approvals, to secure necessary financing, to achieve necessary regulatory approvals, or due to adverse market conditions. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees may be subject to court approval. Underwriting fees are recognized when the offering has been deemed to be completed and placement fees are generally recognized at the time of the client's acceptance of capital or capital commitments. Commissions and Related Revenue includes commissions, which are recorded on a trade-date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, on the date earned. Commissions and Related Revenue also includes subscription fees for the sale of research, as well as revenues from trades primarily executed on a riskless principal basis. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) and recognized as revenue over the remaining subscription period.

Revenue trends in our advisory business generally are correlated to the volume of M&A activity, restructuring activity, which generally tends to be counter-cyclical to M&A, and capital advisory activity. Demand for these capabilities can vary in any given year or quarter for a number of reasons. For example, changes in our market share or the ability of our clients to close certain large transactions can cause our revenue results to diverge from the level of overall M&A, restructuring or capital advisory activity. Revenue trends in our equities business are correlated, in part, to market volumes, which generally decrease in periods of low market volatility or unfavorable market or economic conditions. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further information.

Investment Management. Our Investment Management segment includes operations related to the Wealth Management business and interests in private equity funds which we do not manage. Revenue sources primarily include management fees, fiduciary fees and gains (or losses) on our investments.

Management fees for third party clients generally represent a percentage of AUM. Fiduciary fees, which are generally a function of the size and complexity of each engagement, are individually negotiated. Gains and losses include both realized and unrealized gains and losses on principal investments, including those arising from our equity interest in investment partnerships.

Transaction-Related Client Reimbursements. In our Investment Banking & Equities segment, we incur various transaction-related expenditures, such as travel expenses and professional fees, in the course of performing our services. Pursuant to the engagement letters with our advisory clients, these expenditures may be reimbursable. We define these expenses, which are associated with revenue activities earned over time, as transaction-related expenses and record such expenditures as incurred and record revenue when it is determined that clients have an obligation to reimburse us for such transaction-related expenses. Client expense reimbursements are recorded as revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations on the later of the date an engagement letter is executed or the date we pay or accrue the expense.

Table of Contents

Other Revenue and Interest Expense. Other Revenue includes the following:

•Interest income, including accretion, and income (losses) on investment securities, including our investment funds (which are used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program), certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents and long-term accounts receivable

•~~Gains~~A gain on the sale of the remaining portion of our ~~interests~~interest in ABS inInvestment ~~2024~~Management Holdings LP and ~~2022~~ABS Investment Management GP LLC (collectively, "ABS") in 2024. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information

•A loss related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange losses resulting from the redemption of our interest in Luminis in 2024. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information

•Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency exchange forward contracts used as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments

•Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interests in private equity funds which we do not manage

•Adjustments to amounts due pursuant to our tax receivable agreement, subsequent to its initial establishment, related to changes in enacted tax rates

Interest Expense includes interest expense associated with our Notes Payable, ~~and~~ lines of credit and other financing arrangements, including interest expense related to deferred acquisition consideration and mandatorily redeemable interests.

Expenses

Employee Compensation and Benefits. We include all payments for services rendered by our employees, as well as profits interests in our businesses that have been accounted for as compensation, in employee compensation and benefits expense.

We maintain compensation programs, including base salary, cash, deferred cash and equity bonus awards and benefits programs and manage compensation to estimates of competitive levels based on market conditions and performance. Our level of compensation, including deferred compensation, reflects our plan to maintain competitive compensation levels to retain and attract key personnel, and it reflects the impact of newly-hired senior professionals upon their start date, including related grants of equity and other awards, which are generally valued at their grant date and recorded in employee compensation and benefits expense over the requisite service period.

Increasing the number of high-caliber, experienced senior level employees is critical to our growth efforts. See Item 1. "Business" for further information. In our advisory businesses, these hires, which begin their service throughout any given year, generally do not begin to generate significant revenue in the year they are hired.

Our annual compensation program includes share-based compensation awards and deferred cash awards as a component of the annual bonus awards for certain employees. These awards, the amount granted of which is a function of performance and market conditions, are generally subject to annual vesting requirements over a four-year period beginning at the date of grant, which occurs in the first quarter of each year; accordingly, the expense is generally amortized over the stated vesting period, subject to retirement eligibility. With respect to annual awards, our retirement eligibility criteria generally stipulates that an employee is eligible for retirement if the employee has at least five years of continuous service, is at least 55 years of age and has a combined age and years of service of at least 65 years, or if an employee has at least 10 years of continuous service and is at least 60 years of age. Retirement eligibility allows for continued vesting of awards after employees depart from the Company, provided they give the minimum advance notice, which is generally six months to one year and comply with certain post-termination obligations.

We estimate forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of the awards. We periodically monitor our estimated forfeiture rate and adjust our assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative adjustment in the period of the change.

In January ~~2022~~2023, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2024~~2025, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests of Evercore LP ("Class L Interests") to certain of our named executive officers, pursuant to which ~~the~~those named executive officers receive a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, paid in the first quarters of ~~2023~~2024, ~~2024 and~~ 2025, respectively. Distributions pursuant to these interests are made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to our named executive officers in respect of their service for 2022, 2023 and ~~2024~~2026, respectively. ~~Following the distributions, the Class~~

Distributions pursuant to these interests are made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to our named executive officers in respect of their service for 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Following the distributions, the Class L Interests are cancelled pursuant to their terms. We record expense equal to the amount of these distributions in Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and reflect accrued liabilities related to these distributions in Accrued Compensation and Benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

In January ~~2025~~2026, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests to certain of our named executive officers, pursuant to which ~~the~~those named executive officers may receive a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, to be paid in the first quarter of ~~2026~~2027. Distributions pursuant to these interests are anticipated to be made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to our named executive officers in respect of their service for ~~2025~~2026.

Our Long-term Incentive Plans provide for incentive compensation awards for Investment Banking Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers, who exceed defined benchmark results over four-year performance periods beginning January 1, 2017 (the "2017 Long-term Incentive Plan"), ~~which ended on December 31, 2020) and~~ January 1, 2021 (the "2021 Long-term Incentive Plan") and January 1, ~~which~~2025 ~~ended~~(the on"2025 ~~December~~Long-term ~~31,~~Incentive ~~2024~~Plan"). The ~~vesting~~performance period for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan ended on ~~March~~December 1531, ~~2023~~2020 and in conjunction with this plan we made cash distributions in 2023, 2022 and 2021. ~~Amounts~~and ~~accrued~~the ~~pursuant~~performance toperiod for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan ~~may~~ended on December 31, 2024 and in conjunction with this plan we made a cash distribution in 2025. Remaining amounts due pursuant to these plans are due to be paid, in cash or Class A Shares, at our discretion, in the first quarter of ~~2025,~~ 2026 and 2027, for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan, and in the first quarter of 2029, 2030 and 2031, for the 2025 Long-term Incentive Plan, subject to employment at the time of payment. We periodically assess the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expense the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award.

WeFrom ~~intend~~time to ~~issue~~time, awe ~~new~~also ~~Long~~grant incentive awards to certain individuals which include both performance and service-~~term~~based ~~Incentive~~vesting ~~Plan~~requirements and, in certain awards, market-based requirements. These include Class K-P Units issued by Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units"), certain RSU and deferred cash awards, as well as awards issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Robey Warshaw in 2025. See Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

From time to time, we also grant incentive awards to certain individuals which include both performance and service-based vesting requirements and, in certain awards, market-based requirements. These include Class I-P Units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units"), Class K-P Units of Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units") and certain RSU awards. In March 2022, the Class I-P Units converted to Class I LP Units. See Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

We believe that the ratio of Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense to Net Revenues is an important measure to assess the annual cost of compensation relative to performance and provides a meaningful basis for comparison of compensation and benefits expense between present, historical and future years.

Non-Compensation. Our Non-Compensation expenses include costs for occupancy and equipment rental, professional fees, travel and related expenses, ~~communications~~technology and information ~~technology~~ services, depreciation and amortization, execution, clearing and custody fees, acquisition and transition costs and other operating expenses.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs. Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, reflect the following:

•2024 – Expenses related to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of our interest

•2023 – Expenses related to the write-off of non-recoverable assets in connection with the wind-down of our operations in Mexico

•2022 – Expenses related to charges associated with the prepayment of our 5.23% Series B senior notes originally due March 30, 2023 (the "Series B Notes"), as well as certain professional fees, separation benefits and other charges related to the wind-down of our operations in Mexico

Income from Equity Method Investments

Our share of the income (loss) from our equity interests in Atalanta Sosnoff, and Seneca Evercore, and our former equity interests in ABS (through July 2024) and Luminis (through September 2024) are included within Income from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Provision for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies associated with the appreciation or depreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price are recognized in our Provision for Income Taxes. In

addition, net deferred tax assets are impacted by changes to statutory tax rates in the period of enactment. See Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Noncontrolling Interest

We record noncontrolling interest relating to the ownership interests of certain of our current and former Senior Managing Directors and other officers and their estate planning vehicles in Evercore LP, as well as the portions of our operating subsidiaries not owned by Evercore. Evercore Inc. is the sole general partner of Evercore LP and has a majority economic interest in Evercore LP. As a result, Evercore Inc. consolidates Evercore LP and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held by the limited partners.

We generally allocate net income or loss to participating noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the relative ownership interest of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits or losses to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, the net income or loss of these entities is allocated based on these special allocations. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

~~2024~~2025 versus ~~2023~~2024

The increase in revenues from ~~2023~~2024 was primarily driven by an increase of $~~476~~826.75 million, or 2434%, in Advisory Fees, primarily reflecting an increase in revenue during 2025 across both M&A and non-M&A assignments, an increase in revenue earned from large transactions and an increase in the number of advisory fees earned during ~~2024~~2025. ~~across~~Commissions ~~both M&A~~ and ~~non-M&A~~Related ~~assignments.~~Revenue ~~Underwriting Fees~~ increased $4628.16 million, or 4113%, compared to ~~2023~~2024, primarily reflecting anhigher ~~increase~~trading incommissions ~~the~~driven ~~number~~by ofincreased ~~transactions~~trading wevolume ~~participated~~and inhigher subscription fees during ~~2024~~2025. ~~Commissions~~Underwriting ~~and~~Fees ~~Related Revenue~~ increased $1122.36 million, or 614%, compared to ~~2023~~2024, ~~primarily~~ reflecting ~~higher~~an ~~trading~~increase ~~commissions~~in ~~and~~the ~~subscription~~average ~~fees~~fee size of the transactions we participated in during 2025.

These decreases were partially offset by higher ~~performance~~interest ofincome ~~our~~resulting ~~investment~~from ~~funds~~higher ~~portfolio~~average balances in interest-bearing assets. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $12.9345 billion in ~~2024~~2025, an increase of $~~310~~520.5 million, or 1927%, versus $1.6293 billion in ~~2023~~2024. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized in ~~2024~~2025 principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher ~~compensation~~amortization ~~expense~~of ~~related~~prior toperiod ~~senior~~deferred ~~new~~compensation ~~hires~~awards. The

Non-compensation expenses were $456.3 million in 2024, an increase of $62.9 million, or 16%, versus $393.3 million in 2023. Non-compensation expenses increased from the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in professional fees and travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount, as well as an increase in communications and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with license fees and research services in 2024.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $7.3 million in 2024 related to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of our interest. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information. Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $2.9 million in 2023 related to the write-off of non-recoverable assets in connection with the wind-down of our operations in Mexico.

Investment Management Results of Operations

Our Investment Management segment includes the following:

•Wealth Management – conducted through EWM and ETC. Fee-based revenues from EWM are primarily earned on a percentage of AUM, while ETC primarily earns fees from negotiated trust services.

•Private Equity – conducted through our investment interests in private equity funds. We maintain a limited partner's interest in Glisco Partners II, L.P. ("Glisco II"), Glisco Partners III, L.P. ("Glisco III") and Glisco Capital Partners IV, L.P. ("Glisco IV", and together with Glisco II and Glisco III, the "Glisco Funds"), as well as Glisco Manager Holdings LP and the general partners of the Glisco Funds. We receive our portion of the management fees earned by Glisco Partners Inc. ("Glisco") from Glisco Manager Holdings LP. We are passive investors and do not participate in the management of any Glisco sponsored funds. We are also passive investors in Trilantic Capital Partners Associates IV, L.P. (through December 2025) and Trilantic Capital Partners V, L.P. In the event the private equity funds perform below certain thresholds, we may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, there was no previously distributed carried interest received from the funds subject to repayment.

•We also hold ~~interests~~an interest in Atalanta Sosnoff ~~and ABS (through July 2024)~~ that ~~are~~is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and previously held an interest in ABS (through July 2024). The results of these investments are included within Income from Equity Method Investments. During 2024 ~~and 2022~~, we sold the remaining portion of our ~~interests~~interest in ABS. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Assets Under Management

AUM in our Wealth Management business of $1315.95 billion at December 31, ~~2024~~2025 increased $1.6 billion, or 1312%, compared to $1213.39 billion at December 31, ~~2023~~2024. The amounts of AUM presented in the table below reflect the fair value of assets which we manage on behalf of Wealth Management clients. As defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), valuations performed for Level 1 investments are based on quoted prices obtained from active markets generated by third parties and Level 2 investments are valued through the use of models based on either direct or indirect observable inputs or other valuation methodologies performed by third parties to determine fair value. For both the Level 1 and Level 2 investments, we obtain both active quotes from nationally recognized exchanges and third-party pricing services to determine market or fair value quotes, respectively. For Level 3 investments, pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Wealth Management maintained 7778% and 7677% of Level 1 investments, 1918% and 2019% of Level 2 investments and 4% and 4% of Level 3 investments as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, respectively.

The fees that we receive for providing investment advisory and management services are primarily driven by the level and composition of AUM. Accordingly, client flows, market movements, and changes in our product mix will impact the level of management fees we receive from our Wealth Management business. Fees vary with the type of assets managed and the channel in which they are managed, with higher fees earned on equity assets and alternative investment funds, such as hedge funds and private equity funds, and lower fees earned on fixed income and cash management products. Clients will increase or reduce the aggregate amount of AUM that we manage for a number of reasons, including changes in the level of assets that they have available for investment purposes, their overall asset allocation strategy, our relative performance versus competitors offering similar investment products and the quality of our service. The fees we earn are also impacted by our investment performance, as the appreciation or depreciation in the value of the assets that we manage directly impacts our fees.

Our Wealth Management business serves individuals, families and related institutions delivering customized investment management, financial planning, and trust and custody services.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $46.1 million in 2024, an increase of $6.7 million, or 17%, versus $39.4 million in 2023, primarily reflecting a higher accrual for incentive compensation.

Non-Compensation expenses were $15.1 million in 2024, an increase of $1.4 million, or 10%, versus $13.7 million in 2023, primarily driven by an increase in professional fees and communications and information services, as well as an increase in travel and related expenses in 2024.

Income from Equity Method Investments decreased $0.9 million, or 15%, from 2023, driven by the sale of the remaining portion of our interest in ABS in 2024. This decrease was partially offset by higher earnings from Atalanta Sosnoff in 2024. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Cash Flows

Our operating cash flows are primarily influenced by the timing and receipt of fees and the payment of operating expenses, including incentive compensation to our employees and interest expense on our Notes Payable, ~~and~~ lines of credit and other financing arrangements, and the payment of income taxes. Advisory and Underwriting fees are generally collected within 90 days of invoice. Placement fees are generally collected within 180 days of invoice and a portion of certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses may be collected in a period exceeding one year. Commissions earned from our agency trading activities are generally received from our clearing broker within 11 days. Fees from our Wealth Management business are generally invoiced and collected within 90 days. We traditionally pay a substantial portion of incentive compensation during the first three months of each calendar year with respect to the prior year's results and prior years' deferred compensation. Likewise, payments to fund investments related to hedging our deferred cash compensation plans are generally funded in the first three months of each calendar year. Our investing and financing cash flows are primarily influenced by activities to invest our cash in highly liquid securities or bank certificates of deposit, deploy capital to fund investments and acquisitions, repurchase outstanding Class A Shares (including for the net settlement of RSUs) and/or noncontrolling interest in Evercore LP, as well as our other subsidiaries, payment of dividends, other periodic distributions to our stakeholders and to raise capital through the issuance of stock or debt. We generally make dividend payments and other distributions on a quarterly basis. If required, we may periodically draw down on our lines of credit to balance the timing of our operating, investing and financing cash flow needs. A summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows is as follows:

2025. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash were $1.4 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of $554.0 million versus Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash of $882.1 million at December 31, 2024. Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $1.3 billion, primarily related to earnings. Cash of $98.3 million was used by investing activities, primarily related to purchases of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements and net purchases of investment securities, partially offset by net proceeds from maturities of certificates of deposit and net cash acquired from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for further information. Financing activities during the period used cash of $635.6 million, primarily for purchases of treasury stock (including for the net settlement of RSUs) and noncontrolling interests, the payment of dividends, the $38.0 million repayment of our 1.97% Series I senior notes which were due August 1, 2025 (the "Series I Notes" or the "2021 Private Placement Notes") and distributions made to noncontrolling interest holders, partially offset by the $250.0 million issuance of our $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.17% Series K senior notes due July 24, 2030 (the "Series K Notes") and $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.47% Series L senior notes due July 24, 2032 (the "Series L Notes" and together with the Series K Notes, the "2025 Private Placement Notes"). Cash is also impacted due to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuation when translating non-U.S. currencies to U.S. Dollars.

2024. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash were $882.1 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $276.6 million versus Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash of $605.5 million at December 31, 2023. Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $988.2 million, primarily related to earnings. Cash of $67.4 million was used by investing activities, primarily related to net purchases of investment securities and certificates of deposit and purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements, partially offset by proceeds received from the sale of the remaining portion of our interest in ABS during 2024. Financing activities during the period used cash of $628.6 million, primarily for purchases of treasury stock (including for the net settlement of RSUs) and noncontrolling interests, the payment of dividends and distributions made to noncontrolling interest holders.

& Equities and Investment Management segments. Our current liabilities principally include accrued expenses, accrued liabilities, accrued employee compensation and short-term borrowings. We traditionally have made payments for employee bonus awards and year-end distributions to partners in the first quarter of the year with respect to the prior year's results. In addition, payments in respect of deferred cash compensation arrangements and related investments are also made in the first quarter. From time to time, advances and/or commitments may also be granted to new employees at or near the date they begin employment, or to existing employees for the purpose of incentive or retention. Cash distributions related to partnership tax allocations are made to the partners of Evercore LP and certain other entities in accordance with our corporate estimated payment calendar; these payments are generally made quarterly. In addition, dividends on Class A Shares, and related distributions to partners of Evercore LP, are paid when and if declared by the Board of Directors, which is generally quarterly.

We regularly monitor our liquidity position, including cash, other significant working capital, current assets and liabilities, long-term liabilities, lease commitments and related fixed assets, principal investment commitments related to our Investment Management business, dividends on Class A Shares, partnership distributions and other capital transactions, as well as other matters relating to liquidity and compliance with capital requirements and restrictions of our regulated legal entities. Our liquidity is highly dependent on our revenue stream from our operations, principally from our Investment Banking & Equities segment, which is primarily a function of closing client transactions and earning success fees, the timing and realization of which is irregular and dependent upon factors that are not subject to our control. Our revenue stream funds the payment of our expenses, including annual bonus payments, a portion of which are guaranteed, deferred compensation arrangements, interest expense on our Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements, as well as payments for income taxes. Payments made for income taxes may be reduced by deductions taken for the increase in tax basis of our investment in Evercore LP. Certain of these tax deductions, when realized, require payment under our long-term liability, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements. We intend to fund these payments from cash and cash equivalents on hand, principally derived from cash flows from operations. These tax deductions, when realized, will result in cash otherwise required to satisfy tax obligations becoming available for other purposes. Our Management Committee meets regularly to monitor our liquidity and cash positions against our short and long-term obligations, as well as our capital requirements and commitments, including deferred compensation arrangements. The result of this review contributes to management's recommendation to the Board of Directors as to the level of quarterly dividend payments, if any.

As a financial services firm, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. Revenue generated by our advisory activities is related to the number and value of the transactions in which we are involved. In addition, revenue related to our equities business is driven by market volumes and institutional investor trends, such as the trend to passive investment strategies. During periods of unfavorable market or economic conditions - which may result from the current or anticipated impact of inflation, changes in the level of interest rates, changes in the availability of financing, supply chain disruptions, an evolving regulatory environment, climate change, extreme weather events or natural disasters, the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyberattacks or campaigns, military conflict, including escalating international tensions, terrorism or other geopolitical events - the number and value of M&A transactions, as well as market volumes in equities, generally decrease, and they generally increase during periods of favorable market or economic conditions. Restructuring activity generally is counter-cyclical to M&A activity. In addition, during periods of unfavorable market conditions our Investment Management business may be impacted by reduced equity valuations and generate relatively lower revenue because fees we receive, either directly or through our affiliates, typically are in part based on the market value of underlying publicly-traded securities. Our profitability may also be adversely affected by our fixed costs and the possibility that we would be unable to scale back other costs within a time frame, and in an amount sufficient, to match any decreases in revenue relating to changes in market and economic conditions. Likewise, our liquidity may be adversely impacted by our contractual obligations, including lease obligations. Reduced equity valuations resulting from future adverse economic events and/or market conditions may impact our performance and may result in future net redemptions of AUM from our Investment Management clients, which would generally result in lower revenues and cash flows. These adverse conditions could also have an impact on our goodwill impairment assessment, which is done annually, as of November 30th, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

Elevated interest rates and heightened geopolitical tensions, including escalating military tensions and evolving regulatory and banking environments, have contributed to an elongation of the timing of transaction closings in 2024. While the environment is gradually improving, we will continue to assess the potential ongoing impacts of these factors, including the regular monitoring of our cash levels, liquidity, regulatory capital requirements, debt covenants and our other contractual obligations.

From time to time, advances and/or commitments may also be granted to new employees at or near the date they begin employment, or to existing employees for the purpose of incentive or retention. Cash distributions related to partnership tax allocations are made to the partners of Evercore LP and certain other entities in accordance with our corporate estimated payment calendar; these payments are generally made quarterly. In addition, dividends on Class A Shares, and related distributions to partners of Evercore LP, are paid when and if declared by the Board of Directors, which is generally quarterly.

As a financial services firm, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. Revenue generated by our advisory activities is related to the number and value of the transactions in which we are involved. In addition, revenue related to our equities business is driven by market volumes and institutional investor trends, such as the trend to passive investment strategies. During periods of unfavorable market or economic conditions - which may result from the current or anticipated impact of tariffs and inflation, changes in the level of interest rates, changes in the availability of financing, supply chain disruptions, an evolving regulatory environment, climate change, extreme weather events or natural disasters, the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyberattacks or campaigns, military conflict, including escalating international tensions, terrorism or other geopolitical events - the number and value of M&A transactions, as well as issuance volumes in capital markets, generally decrease, and they generally increase during periods of favorable market or economic conditions. Restructuring activity generally is counter-cyclical to M&A activity.

Reduced equity valuations resulting from future adverse economic events and/or market conditions may impact our performance and may result in future net redemptions of AUM from our Investment Management clients, which would generally result in lower revenues and cash flows. These adverse conditions could also have an impact on our goodwill impairment assessment, which is done annually, as of November 30th, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

Geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty remain present and have led to market volatility. These evolving conditions may impact the transaction environment in the near to medium term and/or impact the timing of transaction closings. We will continue to assess the potential ongoing impacts of these factors, including the regular monitoring of our cash levels, liquidity, regulatory capital requirements, debt covenants and our other contractual obligations. See "Results of Operations" above for further information.

We assess each of our equity method investments for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. These circumstances could include unfavorable market conditions or the loss of key personnel of the investee.

Treasury Purchases

We periodically repurchase Class A Shares and/or LP Units into Treasury (including through the net settlement of equity awards) in order to offset the dilutive effect of equity awards granted as compensation (see Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for further information), or amounts in excess of that if management's review, discussed above, determines adequate cash is available. The amount of cash required for these share repurchases is a function of the mix of equity and deferred cash compensation awarded for the annual bonus awards (see further discussion on deferred compensation under Other Commitments below). In addition, we may, from time to time, purchase noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries.

On ~~February~~April 2229, ~~2022~~2025, our Board of Directors authorized (in addition to the net settlement of equity awards) the repurchase of Class A Shares and/or LP Units so that from that date forward, we are able to repurchase an aggregate of the lesser of $1.46 billion worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 108.0 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our liquidity position, legal requirements, price, economic and market conditions and the objective to reduce the dilutive effect of equity awards granted as compensation to employees. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. During ~~2024~~2025, we repurchased 1,~~312~~443,~~895~~097 Class A Shares, at an average cost per share of $~~203~~269.8474, for $~~267~~389.63 million, pursuant to our repurchase program.

In addition, we periodically buy shares into treasury from our employees in order to allow them to satisfy their minimum tax requirements for share deliveries under our share equity plan. During ~~2024~~2025, we repurchased ~~998~~955,~~281~~361 Class A Shares, at an average cost per share of $~~179~~284.6701, for $~~179~~271.43 million, primarily related to minimum tax withholding requirements of share deliveries.

The aggregate 2,~~311~~398,~~176~~458 Class A Shares repurchased during ~~2024~~2025 were acquired for aggregate purchase consideration of $~~447~~660.06 million, at an average cost per share of $~~193~~275.4042.

Noncontrolling Interest Purchases

During 2024, we purchased, at fair value, an additional 0.3% of the EWM Class A Units for $1.0 million. This purchase resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $0.1 million and a decrease to Additional Paid-In Capital of $1.0 million on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2024.

During 2023, we purchased, at fair value, an additional 0.7% of the EWM Class A Units for $2.0 million. This purchase resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $0.2 million and a decrease to Additional Paid-In Capital of $1.8 million on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2023.

During 2022, we purchased, at fair value, an additional 0.9% of the EWM Class A Units for $3.2 million. This purchase resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $0.2 million and a decrease to Additional Paid-In Capital of $3.0 million on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2022.

On December 31, 2021, we purchased, at fair value, all of the outstanding Class R Interests of Private Capital Advisory L.P. from employees of the RECA business. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

On August 1, 2019, we issued $175.0 million and £25.0 million of senior unsecured notes through private placement. These notes reflect a weighted average life of 12 years and a weighted average stated interest rate of 4.26%.

Interest on the above issuances is payable semi-annually and the notes are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries.

We entered into commitments to pay additional consideration, including contingent consideration and certain other contingent compensation arrangements, related to our acquisition of Robey Warshaw in 2025. See Notes 5 and 18 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any leasing activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, our current and former Senior Managing Directors owned an aggregate of approximately 1.42 million vested Class A LP Units, 0.3 million vested Class E LP Units, 0.4 million vested Class I LP Units and 0.27 million vested Class K LP Units. In addition, 10.17 million unvested Class K-P Units, which convert into a number of Class K LP Units based on the achievement of certain market and service conditions and defined benchmark results, were outstanding as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025. We have an obligation to exchange vested Class A, E, I and K LP Units to Class A Common Stock upon the request of the holder. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 included $~~873~~1.043 ~~million~~billion of Cash and Cash Equivalents and $1.5258 billion of Investment Securities and Certificates of Deposit, which are generally comprised of highly-liquid investments.

Market Risk and Credit Risk

We, in general, are not a capital-intensive organization and as such, are not subject to significant market or credit risks. Nevertheless, we have established procedures to assess both the market and credit risk, as well as specific investment risk, exchange rate risk and credit risk related to receivables.

Market and Investment Risk

We hold equity securities and invest in exchange-traded funds principally as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program. As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, the fair value of our investments with these products, based on closing prices, was $~~179~~175.08 million. We had net realized and unrealized gains of $3325.97 million for the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, from our exchange-traded funds portfolio. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10%, 20% and 30% adverse change in the market value of the investments would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $17.96 million, $35.82 million and $5352.7 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025.

Table of Contents

Private Equity Funds

Through our principal investments in private equity funds and our ability to earn carried interest from these funds, we face exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of the companies in which these funds invest. Valuations and analysis regarding our investments in Trilantic and Glisco are performed by their respective professionals, and thus we are not involved in determining the fair value for the portfolio companies of such funds. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the private equity funds would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $0.52 million for the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025.

Exchange Rate Risk

We have foreign operations, through our subsidiaries and affiliates, primarily in Europe and Asia, as well as provide services to clients in other jurisdictions, which creates foreign exchange rate risk. We have not entered into any transactions to hedge our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations in these subsidiaries through the use of derivative instruments or otherwise. An appreciation or depreciation of any of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would result in an adverse or beneficial impact to our financial results. A significant portion of our non-U.S. revenues and expenses have been, and will continue to be, derived from contracts denominated in foreign currencies (i.e. British Pounds sterling, Euros, Singapore dollars, among others). Historically, the value of these foreign currencies has fluctuated relative to the U.S. dollar. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the net impact of the fluctuation of foreign currencies recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income was a loss of $11.0 million, net of tax. Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), net, within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2024 also included the reclassification of $0.7 million of cumulative foreign currency translation losses to Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. It is generally not our intention to hedge our foreign currency exposure in these subsidiaries, and we will reevaluate this policy from time to time.

Periodically, we enter into foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments. We entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract during the first quarter of 2023 to buy 30.0 million British Pounds sterling for $36.9 million, which settled during the third quarter of 2023, and resulted in a loss of $0.3 million. Upon settlement, we entered into a new foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30.0 million British Pounds sterling for $36.7 million, which settled during 2024, and resulted in a loss of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The contract was recorded at its fair value of $1.6 million as of December 31, 2023, and was included within Other Current Assets on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

Credit Risks

We maintain cash and cash equivalents, as well as certificates of deposit, with financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, we may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured ("FDIC") limits or enter into sweep arrangements where banks will periodically transfer a portion of our excess cash position to a money market fund. However, we believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions or investment vehicles in which those deposits are held.

Accounts Receivable consists primarily of advisory fees and expense reimbursements billed to our clients. Other Assets includes long-term receivables primarily from fees related to private funds capital raising and certain fees related to the private capital businesses. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for credit losses. We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide coverage for probable losses from our customer receivables and determine the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on our analysis of historical credit loss experience of our client receivables, and taking into consideration current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Our receivables collection periods generally are within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses, a portion of which may be collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for liability management and restructuring transaction receivables may exceed 90 days. We recorded bad debt expense of $2.3 million, $5.6 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2023, we entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30.0 million British Pounds sterling for $36.9 million, which settled during the third quarter of 2023, and resulted in a loss of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Upon settlement, we entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30.0 million British Pounds sterling for $36.7 million, which settled during 2024, and resulted in a loss of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Credit Risks

Accounts Receivable consists primarily of advisory fees and expense reimbursements billed to our clients. Other Assets includes long-term receivables primarily from certain fees related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for credit losses. We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide coverage for probable losses from our customer receivables and determine the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on our analysis of historical credit loss experience of our client receivables, and taking into consideration current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Our receivables collection periods generally are within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses, a portion of which may be collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for liability management and restructuring transaction receivables may exceed 90 days. We recorded bad debt expense of $5.6 million, $2.3 million and $5.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, total receivables recorded in Accounts Receivable amounted to $555.8 million and $421.5 million, respectively, net of an allowance for credit losses, and total receivables recorded in Other Assets amounted to $129.9 million and $101.3 million, respectively.

Other Current Assets and Other Assets include arrangements in which an estimate of variable consideration has been included in the transaction price and thereby recognized as revenue that precedes the contractual due date (contract assets). As of December 31, 2025, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $147.4 million and $27.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $62.4 million and $14.5 million, respectively.

With respect to our Investment Securities portfolio, which is comprised primarily of U.S. Treasury securities, exchange-traded funds and securities investments, we manage our credit risk exposure by limiting concentration risk and maintaining investment grade credit quality. As of December 31, 2025, we had Investment Securities of $1.54 billion, of which 89% were U.S. Treasury securities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements included in this report are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and their notes, including reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

We base these estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Revenue Recognition

We account for revenue recognition under ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which provides a five step model to revenue recognition as follows:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

We apply this model to revenue streams from our Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management segments.

Investment Banking & Equities Revenue

We earn fees from clients for providing advisory services on strategic matters, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, liability management and restructurings, activism and defense and similar corporate finance matters. Our Investment Banking & Equities segment also includes services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Revenue is recognized as we satisfy performance obligations, upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these services. Our contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple services to a customer. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For performance obligations satisfied over time, determining a measure of progress requires us to make significant judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognized. For certain advisory services, we have concluded that performance obligations are satisfied over time. This is based on the premise that we transfer control of services and the client simultaneously receives benefits from these services over the course of an engagement. For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, determining when control transfers requires us to make significant judgments that affect the timing of when revenue is recognized.

In general, advisory fees are paid at the time we sign an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. In some circumstances, and as a function of the terms of an engagement letter, we may receive fixed retainer fees for financial advisory services concurrent with, or soon after, the execution of the engagement letter or over the course of the engagement, where the engagement letter will specify a future service period associated with those fees. We may also receive announcement fees upon announcement of a transaction in addition to success fees upon closing of a transaction or another defined outcome, both of which represent variable consideration. This variable consideration will be included in the transaction price, as defined, and recognized as revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. When assessing probability, we apply careful analysis and judgment to the remaining factors necessary for completion of a transaction, including factors outside of our control. A transaction can fail to be completed for many reasons which are outside of our control, including failure of parties to agree upon final terms, to secure necessary board or shareholder approvals, to secure necessary financing, to achieve necessary regulatory approvals, or due to adverse market conditions. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees may be subject to approval of the court.

47With respect to retainer, announcement and success fees in M&A transactions, there are no distinct performance obligations aside from advisory activities, which are generally focused on achieving a milestone (typically, the announcement and/or the closing of a transaction). These advisory services are provided over time throughout the contract period. We recognize revenue when distinct services are performed and when it is probable that a reversal of revenue will not occur, which is generally upon the announcement or closing of a transaction. Accordingly, in any given period, advisory fees recognized for certain transactions may relate to services performed in prior periods. In circumstances in which retainer fees are received in advance of services, these fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability), which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized in Advisory Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered.

These advisory services are provided over time throughout the contract period. We recognize revenue when distinct services are performed and when it is probable that a reversal of revenue will not occur, which is generally upon the announcement or closing of a transaction. Accordingly, in any given period, advisory fees recognized for certain transactions may relate to services performed in prior periods. In circumstances in which retainer fees are received in advance of services, these fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability), which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized in Advisory Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered. Announcement fees for advisory services are recognized upon announcement (the point at which it is determined that the reversal of revenue is not probable) and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. A portion of the announcement fee may be deferred based on the services remaining to be completed, if any. Success fees for advisory services, such as M&A advice, are recognized when it is determined that the reversal of revenue is not probable and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied, which is generally at closing of the transaction.

With respect to fairness or valuation opinions, fees are fixed and there is a distinct performance obligation, since the opinion is rendered separate from any other advisory activities. Revenues related to fairness or valuation opinions are recognized at the point in time when the opinion has been rendered and delivered to the client. In the event we were to receive an opinion or success fee in advance of the completion conditions noted above, such fee would initially be recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and subsequently recognized in Advisory Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the conditions of completion have been satisfied.

Placement fee revenues are attributable to capital raising onfor both corporations and financial sponsors. We recognize placement fees in accordance with the terms of the engagement letter, which are generally contingent on the achievement of a capital commitment by an investor, at the time of the client's acceptance of capital or capital commitments.

Underwriting fees are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized at the point in time when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group, or in the case of certain ongoing issuances when the sale of the securities has ~~settled~~occurred. When the offering is completed, the performance obligation has been satisfied and we recognize the applicable management fee, selling concession, sales agent commission or placement agent fee. Offering expenses are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We also manage assignments involving the exchange of an issuer's securities where fees are recognized when earned.

Commissions and Related Revenue include commissions received from customers for the execution of agency-based brokerage transactions in listed and over-the-counter equities. The execution of each trade order represents a distinct performance obligation and the transaction price at the point in time of trade order execution is fixed. Trade execution is satisfied at the point in time that the customer has control of the asset and as such, fees are recorded on a trade date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, when earned. We also earn subscription fees for the sale of research, as well as revenues from trades primarily executed on a riskless principal basis. The delivery of research under subscription arrangements represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time. The fees are fixed and are recognized over the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized in Commissions and Related Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investment Management Revenue

Our Investment Management segment generates revenues from the management of client assets and through interests in private equity funds which we do not manage. Our contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple services to a customer. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For performance obligations satisfied over time, determining a measure of progress requires us to make significant judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognized.

Asset management fees for third-party clients are generally based on the value of the assets under management and any performance fees that may be negotiated with the client. The management of asset portfolios represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time. These fees are generally recognized over the period that the related services are provided and in which the performance obligation is satisfied, based upon the beginning, ending or average value of the assets for the relevant period. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability), which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Asset Management and Administration Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related service is rendered.

Table of Contents

Fees generated for serving as an independent fiduciary and/or trustee are either based on a flat fee, are pre-negotiated with the client or are based on the value of assets under administration. The management of assets under administration represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time. For ongoing engagements, fees are billed monthly or quarterly either in advance or in arrears. Fees paid in advance of services rendered and satisfaction of the performance obligation are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Asset Management and Administration Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered and the performance obligation is satisfied.

Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets

Accounts Receivable consists primarily of investment banking fees and expense reimbursements charged to our clients. We record accounts receivable, net of any allowance for credit losses, when relevant revenue recognition criteria has been achieved and payment is conditioned on the passage of time. We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide coverage for estimated losses from our client receivables. In accordance with ASC 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses", we determine the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on our analysis of historical credit loss experience of our client receivables, and taking into consideration current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. We have determined that long-term forecasted information is not relevant to our fee receivables, which are primarily short-term. We update our average credit loss rates periodically and maintain a quarterly allowance review process to consider current factors that would require an adjustment to the credit loss allowance. In addition, we periodically perform a qualitative assessment to monitor risks associated with current and forecasted conditions that may require an adjustment to the expected credit loss rates. Expected credit losses for financial assets and changes to expected credit losses during the period are recognized in earnings.

Our receivables collection periods are generally within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses, a portion of which may be collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for liability management and restructuring transaction receivables may exceed 90 days. Receivables that are collected in a period exceeding one year are reflected in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

We record contract assets within Other Current Assets and Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition when payment is due from a client conditioned on future performance or the occurrence of other events. We also recognize a contract asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the benefit of those costs is expected to be longer than one year. We apply a practical expedient to expense costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the amortization period is one year or less.

Valuation

The valuation of our investments in securities and of our investments in private equity funds which we do not manage impacts both the carrying value of direct investments and the determination of management and performance fees, including carried interest. Per ASC 820, we disclose information about financial instruments carried at fair value, including their classification in the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 investments include U.S. Treasury securities, readily-marketable equity securities and investment funds. Level 2 investments include our foreign currency exchange forward contracts. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no Level 3 investments carried at fair value. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

securities and investment funds. Level 2 investments include our foreign currency exchange forward contracts. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had no Level 3 investments carried at fair value. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" permits entities the option to measure most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates and to report related unrealized gains and losses in earnings. We have not elected to apply the fair value option to any specific financial assets or liabilities.

As of December 31, 2025, Level 3 financial liabilities include the contingent consideration liability issued in the acquisition of Robey Warshaw. As of December 31, 2024, we had no Level 3 financial liabilities carried at fair value. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Investment Securities and Futures and Forward Contracts

Investment Securities may include investments in U.S. Treasury securities, other debt securities and investments in readily-marketable equity securities, including our portfolio of exchange-traded funds, which are accounted for under ASC 320-10, "Investments - Debt Securities" and ASC 321-10, "Investments - Equity Securities." These securities are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition; debt securities are valued based on quoted prices that exist in the marketplace for similar issues and equity securities are valued using quoted market prices on applicable exchanges or markets. Investment Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. We also periodically enter into futures contracts as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program and foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments. In accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging," futures and forward contracts are carried at fair value.

In accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging," futures and forward contracts are carried at fair value.

Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and any unrealized gains and losses are recorded as net increases or decreases to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax, and realized gains and losses on these securities are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities are recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on futures contracts are recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. EGL also invests in fixed income portfolios consisting primarily of U.S. Treasury securities, which are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as required for broker-dealers in securities.

Equity and Other Deferred Compensation

We grant certain employees awards that vest upon the occurrence of market and/or performance criteria being achieved. Compensation cost is accrued if, and to the extent, it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved and is not accrued if it is not probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Significant judgment is required in determining the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved. The fair value of these awards is amortized over the vesting period or requisite substantive service period. The effect of a market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of an award and expense is recognized provided that the service condition is satisfied and to the extent that any performance condition is achieved. See Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. This process requires us to estimate our actual current tax liability and to assess temporary differences resulting from differing book versus tax treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, compensation and benefits expense, unrealized gains and losses on long-term investments and depreciation. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We must then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not more-likely-than-not, we must establish a valuation allowance. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversals of deferred taxes, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies that can be implemented by us in making this assessment. If actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust our valuation allowance, which could materially impact our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

The tax deduction associated with the appreciation or depreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price is reflected in income tax expense.

In addition, in order to determine the quarterly tax rate, we are required to estimate full year pre-tax income and the related annual income tax expense in each jurisdiction. Changes in the geographic mix or estimated level of annual pre-tax income can affect our overall effective tax rate. Furthermore, our interpretation of complex tax laws may impact our measurement of current and deferred income taxes.

ASC 740 provides a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach consisting of "more-likely-than-not" recognition criteria, and a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This standard also requires the recognition of liabilities created by differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements.

The majority of the deferred tax assets relate to the U.S. operations of the Company. The realization of the deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on the amount of the Company's historic and projected future taxable income for its U.S. and foreign operations. In 2024 and 2023, we performed an assessment of the ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets and determined that the Company should have sufficient future taxable income in the normal course of business to fully realize the portion of the deferred tax assets associated with its U.S. operations and management has concluded that it is more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will be realized. We also concluded that the net deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries required a valuation allowance. We intend to maintain a valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal. 51

~~The~~Table ~~Company estimates that Evercore Inc. must generate approximately $1.7 billion~~ of future taxable income to realize the gross deferred tax asset balance, including the valuation allowance, of $417.6 million. The deferred tax balance is expected to reverse primarily over a period ranging from 5 to 15 taxable years. The Company evaluated Evercore Inc.'s historical U.S. taxable income, which has averaged approximately $490 million per year over the past 7 years, as well as the anticipated taxable income of approximately $462 million in 2024, and taxable income in the future, which indicates sufficient taxable income to support the realization of these deferred tax assets. To the extent enough taxable income is not generated in the 15 year estimated reversal period, the Company can carry forward net operating losses indefinitely, but limited to 80% of taxable income for that year.Contents

The deferred tax balance is expected to reverse primarily over a period ranging from 5 to 15 taxable years. The Company evaluated Evercore Inc.'s historical U.S. taxable income, which has averaged approximately $519 million per year over the past 7 years, as well as the anticipated taxable income of approximately $460.9 million in 2025, and taxable income in the future, which indicates sufficient taxable income to support the realization of these deferred tax assets. To the extent enough taxable income is not generated in the 15 year estimated reversal period, the Company can carry forward net operating losses indefinitely, but limited to 80% of taxable income for that year.

See Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Impairment of Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, we test goodwill for impairment annually, as of November 30th, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. In this process, we make estimates and assumptions in order to determine the fair value of our reporting units and to project future earnings using valuation techniques. We use our best judgment and information available to us at the time to perform this review. Because our assumptions and estimates are used in projecting future earnings as part of the valuation, actual results could differ. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives which are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment."

We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. In determining the fair value for each reporting unit, we utilize a market multiple approach and/or a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations. The market multiple approach includes applying the average earnings multiples of comparable public companies for their respective reporting segment multiplied by the forecasted earnings of the respective reporting unit to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology begins with the adjusted cash flows from each of the reporting units and uses a discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risks inherent in the future cash flows.

We recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

In addition to goodwill and intangible assets, we annually assess each of our equity method investments for impairment (or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred) per ASC 323-10, "Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures."

We concluded there was no impairment of goodwill, intangible assets or equity method investments during the years ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023.

Variable Interest Entities

Our policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when we have the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and have the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We review factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether we are the primary beneficiary, we evaluate our economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by us. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

Evercore Inc.

New York, New York

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Evercore Inc. and subsidiaries (the "“Company"”) as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "“consolidated financial statements"”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 2120, ~~2025~~2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates 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 matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the timing of recording success fee revenue for investment banking & equities advisory services at year end included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of ~~controls~~the ~~over~~control ~~recognizing~~activities related to the evaluation of whether success fees ~~for~~can ~~advisory~~be ~~services~~recognized as revenue, including those ~~over~~related to the timing of revenue recognition.

•We selected a sample of contracts with clients for which revenue was recognized prior to December 31, ~~2024~~2025 as well as the period subsequent to year end and performed the following:

–Evaluated whether the Company appropriately identified performance obligations and recognized revenue in the correct period by obtaining and evaluating evidence, including, but not limited to, inquiry with management, transaction close documents, press releases, confirmations, court approvals, executed agreements and communications, regarding the extent of uncertainty associated with variable consideration.

–Evaluated the accuracy of management’s calculation of advisory fee revenue by recalculating the revenue amounts and comparing our expectation to management’s calculation.

–Evaluated whether it was probable that a significant reversal of the applicable revenue would not occur.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S., and Evercore Partners International LLP ("Evercore U.K."), an investment firm in the U.K. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date.

Evercore LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Specifically, the Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore LP and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity while the limited partners have no kick-out or substantive participating rights. The assets and liabilities of Evercore LP represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company with the exception of U.S. corporate taxes and related items, which are presented on the Company's (Parent Company Only) Condensed Statements of Financial Condition in Note 24.

Evercore ISI International Limited ("Evercore ISI U.K."), Evercore ~~Partners International LLP ("Evercore~~ U.K."), Evercore (Japan) Ltd. ("Evercore Japan"), Evercore Consulting (Beijing) Co. Ltd. ("Evercore Beijing"), Evercore Partners Canada Ltd. ("Evercore Canada"), ~~and~~ Evercore Asia Limited ("Evercore Hong Kong"), Evercore Asia (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. ("Evercore Singapore") and PT Evercore Advisory Indonesia ("Evercore Indonesia") are also VIEs, and the Company is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs.

provides financial support through transfer pricing agreements with these entities, which exposes the Company to losses that are potentially significant to these entities, and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of these entities. The Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore U.K. and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of this entity.

All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company's subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Evercore LP partnership units

Class A LP Units – At the time of the Company's initial public offering, the members of Evercore LP (the "Members") received Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class A LP Units") in consideration for their contribution of the various entities included in the historical combined financial statements of the Company. The Class A LP Units were subject to vesting requirements and transfer restrictions and are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock of the Company ("Class A Shares"). Periodically, certain employees of the Company purchase vested Class A LP Units at fair value at the time of purchase. At December 31, 2013, all Class A LP Units were fully vested.

Class E LP Units – In conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of International Strategy & Investment ("ISI") in 2014, the Company issued Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units"), which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A Shares. At December 31, 2020, all Class E LP Units were fully vested.

Class I LP Units – In conjunction with the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer (then Executive Chairman), the Company issued unvested Class I-P Units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units"). The Class I-P Units were contingently exchangeable into Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units"), which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A Shares. At December 31, 2022, all Class I LP Units were fully vested.

Class K LP Units – The Company periodically awards unvested Class K-P Units of Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units"). The Class K-P Units convert into Class K limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class K LP Units"), contingent and based upon the achievement of certain market, performance and ~~continued~~ service conditions. The Class K LP Units are ultimately exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A Shares.

See Note 18 for further information on Evercore LP partnership units ("LP Units") where exchangeability is subject to performance and/or market conditions.

The Company accounts for exchanges of LP Units for Class A Shares based on the carrying amounts of the LP Units immediately before the exchange.

The Company's interest in Evercore LP is within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810-20, "Control of Partnerships and Similar Entities." The Company consolidates Evercore LP and records noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held directly by others, which includes the Members.

Revenue Recognition – The Company accounts for revenue recognition under ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," ("ASC 606"), which provides a five step model to revenue recognition as follows:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

The Company applies this model to revenue streams from its Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management segments.

Table of Contents

EVERCORE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

Investment Banking & Equities Revenue – The Company earns fees from clients for providing advisory services on strategic matters, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, liability management and restructurings, activism and defense and similar corporate finance matters. The Company's Investment Banking & Equities segment also includes services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Revenue is recognized as the Company satisfies performance obligations, upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for these services. The Company’s contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple services to a customer. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For performance obligations satisfied over time, determining a measure of progress requires the Company to make significant judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognized. For certain advisory services, the Company has concluded that performance obligations are satisfied over time. This is based on the premise that the Company transfers control of services and the client simultaneously receives benefits from these services over the course of an engagement. For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, determining when control transfers requires the Company to make significant judgments that affect the timing of when revenue is recognized. The Company records revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the following:

Advisory Fees – In general, advisory fees are paid at the time the Company signs an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. In some circumstances, and as a function of the terms of an engagement letter, the Company may receive fixed retainer fees for financial advisory services concurrent with, or soon after, the execution of the engagement letter or over the course of the engagement, where the engagement letter will specify a future service period associated with those fees. The Company may also receive announcement fees upon announcement of a transaction in addition to success fees upon closing of a transaction or another defined outcome, both of which represent variable consideration. This variable consideration will be included in the transaction price, as defined, and recognized as revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. When assessing probability, the Company applies careful analysis and judgment to the remaining factors necessary for completion of a transaction, including factors outside of the Company's control. A transaction can fail to be completed for many reasons which are outside of the Company’s control, including failure of parties to agree upon final terms, to secure necessary board or shareholder approvals, to secure necessary financing, to achieve necessary regulatory approvals, or due to adverse market conditions. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees may be subject to court approval.

With respect to retainer, announcement and success fees in merger and acquisition ("M&A") transactions, there are no distinct performance obligations aside from advisory activities, which are generally focused on achieving a milestone (typically, the announcement and/or the closing of a transaction). These advisory services are provided over time throughout the contract period. The Company recognizes revenue when distinct services are performed and when it is probable that a reversal of revenue will not occur, which is generally upon the announcement or closing of a transaction. Accordingly, in any given period, advisory fees recognized for certain transactions may relate to services performed in prior periods. In circumstances in which retainer fees are received in advance of services, these fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability), which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized in Advisory Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered. Announcement fees for advisory services are recognized upon announcement (the point at which it is determined that the reversal of revenue is not probable) and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. A portion of the announcement fee may be deferred based on the services remaining to be completed, if any. Success fees for advisory services, such as M&A advice, are recognized when it is determined that the reversal of revenue is not probable and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied, which is generally at closing of the transaction.

With respect to fairness or valuation opinions, fees are fixed and there is a distinct performance obligation, since the opinion is rendered separate from any other advisory activities. Revenues related to fairness or valuation opinions are recognized at the point in time when the opinion has been rendered and delivered to the client. In the event the Company was to receive an opinion or success fee in advance of the completion conditions noted above, such fee would initially be recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and subsequently recognized in Advisory Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the conditions of completion have been satisfied.

Placement fee revenues are attributable to capital raising onfor both corporations and financial sponsors. The Company recognizes placement fees in accordance with the terms of the engagement letter, which are generally contingent on the ~~achievement of a capital commitment by an investor, at the time of the client's acceptance of capital or capital commitments.~~

The Company also manages assignments involving~~ the ~~exchange of an issuer~~client's ~~securities~~acceptance ~~where~~of ~~fees~~capital ~~are~~or ~~recognized~~capital ~~when earned~~commitments.

Underwriting Fees – Underwriting fees are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized at the point in time when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group, or in the case of certain ongoing issuances when the sale of the securities has occurred. When the offering is completed, the performance obligation has been satisfied and the Company recognizes the applicable management fee, selling concession, sales agent commission or placement agent fee. Offering expenses are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also manages assignments involving the exchange of an issuer's securities where fees are recognized when earned.

Commissions and Related Revenue – Commissions and Related Revenue include commissions received from customers for the execution of agency-based brokerage transactions in listed and over-the-counter equities. The execution of each trade order represents a distinct performance obligation and the transaction price at the point in time of trade order execution is fixed. Trade execution is satisfied at the point in time that the customer has control of the asset and as such, fees are recorded on a trade date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, when earned. The Company also earns subscription fees for the sale of research, as well as revenues from trades primarily executed on a riskless principal basis. The delivery of research under subscription arrangements represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time. The fees are fixed and are recognized over the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized in Commissions and Related Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Asset Management and Administration Fees – The Company's Investment Management segment generates revenues from the management of client assets and through interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company. The Company’s contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple services to a customer. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For performance obligations satisfied over time, determining a measure of progress requires the Company to make significant judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognized.

Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, and Interest Expense – Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, includes the following:

•Interest income, including accretion, and income (losses) on investment securities, including the Company's investment funds (which are used as an economic hedge against the Company's deferred cash compensation program), certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents and long-term accounts receivable

~~•Gains on the sale of the Company's interests in ABS in 2024 and 2022. See Note 10 for further information~~65

•A loss related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange losses resulting from the redemption of the Company's interest in Luminis in 2024. See Note 10 for further information

•A gain on the sale of the remaining portion of the Company's interest in ABS in 2024. See Note 10 for further information

•A loss related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange losses resulting from the redemption of the Company's interest in Luminis in 2024. See Note 10 for further information

•Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interests in private equity funds which the Company does not manage

•Adjustments to amounts due pursuant to the Company's tax receivable agreement, subsequent to its initial establishment, related to changes in enacted tax rates

Interest Expense includes interest expense associated with the Company’s Notes Payable, ~~and~~ lines of credit and other financing arrangements, including interest expense related to deferred acquisition consideration and mandatorily redeemable interests.

Client Expense Reimbursement – In the conduct of its financial advisory service engagements, the Company receives reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by the Company in the course of performing services. Transaction-related expenses, which are billable to clients, are recognized as revenue and recorded in Accounts Receivable on the later of the date of an executed engagement letter or the date the expense is incurred.

Noncontrolling Interest – Noncontrolling interest recorded in the consolidated financial statements relates to the portions of the Company's subsidiaries not owned by the Company. The Company allocates net income to noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the relative ownership interest of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss for the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits (losses) to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, the net income or loss of these entities is allocated based on these special allocations.

Noncontrolling Interest is presented as a component of Total Equity on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and below Net Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, there is an allocation of the components of Total Comprehensive Income between controlling interests and noncontrolling interests. Changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains control of its subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions.

See Note 16 for further information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value. Such assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, investments, receivables and payables and accruals. See Note 11 for further information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of short-term highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Investment Securities and Certificates of Deposit and Futures and Forward Contracts – Investment Securities may include investments in U.S. Treasury securities, other debt securities and investments in readily-marketable equity securities, including the Company's portfolio of exchange-traded funds, which are accounted for under ASC 320-10, "Investments - Debt Securities" and ASC 321-10, "Investments - Equity Securities," ("ASC 321-10"). The securities are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition; debt securities are valued based on quoted prices that exist in the marketplace for similar issues and equity securities are valued using quoted market prices on applicable exchanges or markets. Investment Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. The Company also periodically enters into futures contracts as an economic hedge against the Company's deferred cash compensation program and foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments. In accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging," ("ASC 815"), futures and forward contracts are carried at fair value.

Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and any unrealized gains and losses are recorded as net increases or decreases to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax, and realized gains and losses on these securities are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and futures contracts are recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. EGL also invests in fixed income portfolios consisting of U.S. Treasury securities, which are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as required for broker-dealers in securities. Certificates of Deposit consist of investments with certain banks with original maturities of four months or less when purchased.

Certificates of Deposit consist of investments with certain banks with original maturities of four months or less when purchased.

See Note 8 for further information.

Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets – Accounts Receivable consists primarily of investment banking fees and expense reimbursements charged to the Company's clients. The Company records accounts receivable, net of any allowance for credit losses, when relevant revenue recognition criteria has been achieved and payment is conditioned on the passage of time. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide coverage for estimated losses from its client receivables. In accordance with ASC 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses", the Company determines the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the Company's analysis of historical credit loss experience of its client receivables, and taking into consideration current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company has determined that long-term forecasted information is not relevant to its fee receivables, which are primarily short-term. The Company updates its average credit loss rates periodically and maintains a quarterly allowance review process to consider current factors that would require an adjustment to the credit loss allowance. In addition, the Company periodically performs a qualitative assessment to monitor risks associated with current and forecasted conditions that may require an adjustment to the expected credit loss rates. Expected credit losses for financial assets and changes to expected credit losses during the period are recognized in earnings.

The Company's receivables collection periods are generally within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses, a portion of which may be collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for liability management and restructuring transaction receivables may exceed 90 days. Receivables that are collected in a period exceeding one year are reflected in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The Company records contract assets within Other Current Assets and Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition when payment is due from a client conditioned on future performance or the occurrence of other events. The Company also recognizes a contract asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the benefit of those costs is expected to be longer than one year. The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the amortization period is one year or less.

See Note 4 for further information.

Investments – The Company's investments include investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies and other investments in private equity partnerships:

Affiliates – The Company has equity interests in Atalanta Sosnoff, Seneca Evercore, ABS (through July 2024) and Luminis (through September 2024) and includes its share of the income (losses) from these entities within Income from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company assesses each of its equity method investments annually for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

Private Equity – The investments in private equity funds consist primarily of investments in marketable and non-marketable securities of the portfolio companies. The underlying investments held by the private equity funds are valued based on quoted market prices or estimated fair value if there is no public market. The fair value of non-marketable securities is determined by giving consideration to a range of factors, including but not limited to, market conditions, operating performance (current and projected) and subsequent financing transactions. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation of these non-marketable securities, estimated values may materially differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for these investments. Investments in publicly-traded securities held by the private equity funds are valued using quoted market prices. The Company recognizes its allocable share of the changes in fair value of the private equity funds' underlying investments as realized and unrealized gains (losses) within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Investments – The Company also maintains investments in Glisco Manager Holdings LP and equity securities in private companies, which are accounted for as equity securities without readily determinable fair values in accordance with ASC 321-10. The Company assesses these investments quarterly for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. 67

See Note 10 for further information.

Leases – Pursuant to ASC 842, "Leases" ("ASC 842"), the Company includes the impact of all leases, including short-term leases, on its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts for leases for the use of office space and equipment. Operating leases for office space generally contain payments for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses in addition to rent payments that are not fixed; the Company accounts for these costs as variable payments and does not include these as part of the lease component.

The present values of the Company's lease commitments are reflected as long-term assets, within Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets, with corresponding liabilities classified as current and non-current, within Operating Lease Liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for their lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from these leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to certain adjustments for lease incentives and initial direct costs. The lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.

Operating lease expense is included in Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

See Note 9 for further information.

Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements – Fixed assets, including equipment, hardware and software and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Furniture, equipment and computer hardware and software are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset. Certain costs associated with the acquisition or development of internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements are also capitalized. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software or hosting arrangement. Capitalized costs associated with cloud computing arrangements are presented in the same line item on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition that a prepayment of the fees for the associated hosting arrangement is presented in (within Other Assets). The capitalized costs associated with cloud computing arrangements are amortized over the term of the arrangement and the expense is presented in the same line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement (within ~~Communications~~Technology and Information Services).

See Note 12 for further information.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, as of November 30th, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company assesses whether any goodwill allocated to its applicable reporting unit is impaired by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its respective carrying amount. For acquired businesses, contingent consideration is recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and at subsequent reporting periods.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. In determining the fair value for each reporting unit the Company utilizes either a market multiple approach or a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations, or a weighted combination of both a market multiple approach and discounted cash flow methodology. The market multiple approach includes applying the average earnings multiples of comparable public companies for their respective reporting unit multiplied by the forecasted earnings of the respective reporting unit to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology begins with the forecasted adjusted cash flows from each of the reporting units and uses a discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risks inherent in the future cash flows.

~~The Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value.~~68

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment".

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

The Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

See Note 5 for further information.

Compensation and Benefits – Compensation includes salaries, bonuses (discretionary awards and guaranteed amounts), severance, deferred cash and share-based compensation, and other benefits. Cash bonuses are accrued over the respective service periods to which they relate and deferred cash and share-based grants are expensed prospectively over their requisite service period, subject to acceleration in certain cases.

The Company also maintains stop-loss insurance for its medical plan to provide coverage for claims over a defined financial threshold. In accordance with ASC 405-30, "Liabilities - Insurance-Related Assessments", the Company accrues losses for the total cost of both asserted and unasserted claims. The cost of incurred but not reported claims is measured at the present value, as applicable, of the estimated ultimate cost to the plan of settling those claims. See Note 14 for further information.

Share-Based Payments and Other Deferred Compensation – The Company issues share-based and deferred cash compensation awards as part of its annual bonus awards, in conjunction with new hire arrangements or for the purpose of incentive or retention. Periodically, incentive awards granted include both performance and service-based vesting requirements and, in certain awards, market-based requirements.

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). As such, the grant date fair value of share-based compensation awards that require future service is amortized over the applicable requisite service period of the award. Expense related to share-based and deferred cash compensation awards to employees is included within Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expense is recognized for awards with performance conditions if, and to the extent, it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The effect of a market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of an award and expense is recognized provided that the service condition is satisfied and to the extent that any performance condition is achieved. Awards made to employees who are, or will become, retirement eligible prior to the stated vesting date are amortized over the expected substantive service period of the award.

Awards classified as liabilities as required under ASC 718, such as cash settled share-based awards, are re-measured at fair value at each reporting period.

See Note 18 for further information.

Foreign Currency Translation – Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been translated at rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the periods presented. Income and expenses transacted in foreign currency have been translated at average monthly exchange rates during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), net, as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Transactional exchange gains and losses, as well as releases of cumulative foreign currency translation gains and losses from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. Such temporary differences are reflected on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company accounts for the impact of changes in statutory income tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the year of enactment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant management ~~judgment is required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets.~~

Excess tax benefits and deficiencies from the delivery of Class A Shares under share-based payment arrangements are recognized in the Company's Provision for Income Taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.69

judgment is required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 provides a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach consisting of "more-likely-than-not" recognition criteria, and a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also requires the recognition of liabilities created by differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements.

See Note 21 for further information.

Reclassifications – During 2025, certain balances on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation, with no impact on previously reported Net Income.

Technology and Information Services – The Company renamed "Communications and Information Services" to "Technology and Information Services" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and reclassified $39,521 and $35,060 of technology and related expenses from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services" for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
