Blackstone’s funds returned $23 billion of capital to investors during the last twelve months.
Total cash and corporate treasury investments were $2.2 billion at quarter end, and total net value of cash
and investments was $6.7 billion or $5.93 per DE unit.
Blackstone declared a first quarter distribution of $0.30 per common unit, up 200% year-over-year,
reflecting a significant increase in Distributable Earnings and the new distribution policy of paying out
cash earnings following the quarter in which they are earned
Blackstone’s First Quarter 2013 Highlights
(a)
A
detailed description of Blackstone’s distribution policy can be found in Appendix  –  Definitions and Distribution Policy.
Gross inflows totaled over $8 billion in the first quarter and $34 billion in the last twelve months, 
including $31 billion of organic growth into new funds, products and strategies.
GAAP Net Income was $168 million for the quarter, net of certain non-cash IPO and transaction related
expenses and exclusion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests, mainly “inside ownership”.
Economic Net Income (“ENI”) rose 28% to $628 million for the quarter, or $0.55 per unit, up from
$491
million, or $0.44 per unit, in last year’s first quarter driven by strong fund performance.
Distributable Earnings (“DE”) increased 134% year-over-year to $379 million, or $0.33 per common unit,
compared with $162 million and $0.15 per unit in the year ago period.
Realization activity generated $319 million of Realized Performance Fees, up significantly from
$19
million in first quarter 2012, bringing the last twelve months to $929 million.
Total AUM reached a record $218 billion, up 15% year-over-year with double-digit increases across all
investing businesses, through a combination of strong inflows and carrying value appreciation.

Financial Advisory
Revenues for the quarter were down 12% from the same period a year ago, primarily from fewer deal closings in 
our Blackstone Advisory Partners and Park Hill placement services businesses, despite steady pipelines.
First quarter results are impacted by full year compensation accruals which, typically, reduce income for the
first quarter compared to full year results.
Blackstone
Advisory
Partners’
revenue
declined
year-over-year
as
advisory
activity
in
the
industry
generally
slowed and there were fewer closed transactions after a record level of activity in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Restructuring revenue increased year-over-year, reflecting continued strong performance despite an improving
economy and strong financing markets as the business continues to diversify its client and mandate coverage.
Park Hill’s revenue declined year-over-year, however the pipeline remains solid as challenging fundraising market
conditions continue to drive demand for alternative asset placement services.

Additional 1Q’13 Information
Blackstone had strong Performance Fees across all of its investing businesses of $604 million ($364 million net of
compensation) during the quarter. Why is the Net Accrued Performance Fee balance, which was a record
$2.3
billion, up only $23 million from the prior quarter? (See page 25.)
The below table details the change in Net Accrued Performance Fees from 4Q’12 (Dollars in Millions):
In 1Q’13, why does Private Equity have positive Realized Carried Interest of $140 million and negative Unrealized
Carried Interest of $84 million if the carrying value of assets appreciated during the quarter? (See page 18.)
When Performance Fees, in this case, Carried Interest, are realized, they generate positive Realized Carried
Interest, but have an offsetting negative amount in Unrealized Carried Interest, which reflects the movement of
Unrealized or Accrued Performance Fees being converted into Realized. This is typical in a robust realization
quarter because the fund is realizing previously recognized value.
Why are 1Q’13 Fee Related Earnings down 6% year-over-year despite an increase in Fee Revenues of 3%?
There are three specific items that contributed to the year-over-year decline in Fee Related Earnings:
First,
in
1Q’12,
Real
Estate
benefited
from
$19.5
million
of
revenues
related
to
a
management
fee
“catch
up”
coinciding with additional closings of BREP VII, a $13.4 billion fund.
Additionally, there were certain non-recurring benefits in 1Q’12 related to the Credit / GSO buyout.
And lastly, Fee Related Earnings were impacted by the firm’s 10 and 30-year bond issuances of $650 million
in 3Q’12. Excluding the bond impact, Other Operating Expenses were actually down year-over-year.

Blackstone
32
Definitions and Distribution Policy
Distribution Policy. For 2013, Blackstone’s intention is to distribute to common unitholders each quarter substantially all of its Net Cash Available for Distribution to
Common Unitholders, subject to a minimum base quarterly distribution of $0.12 per unit. In circumstances in which the Net Cash Available for Distribution to Common
Unitholders
for
a
quarter
falls
short
of
the
amount
necessary
to
support
such
per
unit
distribution,
Blackstone
intends
to
correspondingly
reduce
subsequent
quarterly
distributions below the amounts supported by the Net Cash Available for Distribution to Common Unitholders by the amount of the shortfall, but not below $0.12 per
unit.
All
of
the
foregoing
is
subject
to
the
qualification
that
the
declaration
and
payment
of
any
distributions
are
at
the
sole
discretion
of
Blackstone’s
general
partner
and
may
change
at
any
time,
including,
without
limitation,
to
reduce
the
quarterly
distribution
payable
to
common
unitholders
to
less
than
$0.12
per
unit
or
even
to
eliminate such distributions entirely.
Blackstone uses Economic Income, or “EI”, as a key measure of value creation, a benchmark of its performance and in making resource deployment and
compensation decisions across its five segments.  EI represents segment net income before taxes excluding transaction-related charges.  Transaction-
related charges arise from Blackstone’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and long-term retention programs outside of annual deferred compensation and other
corporate actions, including acquisitions.  Transaction-related charges include equity-based compensation charges, the amortization of intangible assets
and contingent consideration associated with acquisitions.  EI presents revenues and expenses on a basis that deconsolidates the investment funds
Blackstone manages. 
Economic Net Income, or “ENI”, represents EI adjusted to include current period taxes.  Taxes represent the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income
(Loss) Before Provision for Taxes. 
Blackstone uses Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”, as a key measure to highlight earnings from operations excluding:  (a) the income related to performance
fees and related carry plan costs, (b) income earned from Blackstone’s investments in the Blackstone Funds, and (c) realized and unrealized gains (losses)
from other investments except for such gains (losses) from Blackstone’s Treasury cash management strategies.  Blackstone uses FRE as a measure to assess
whether recurring revenue from its businesses is sufficient to adequately cover all of its operating expenses and generate profits.  FRE equals contractual
fee revenues, investment income from Blackstone’s Treasury cash management strategies and interest income, less (a) compensation expenses (which
includes amortization of non-IPO and non-acquisition-related equity-based awards, but excludes amortization of IPO and acquisition-related equity-based
awards, carried interest and incentive fee compensation), and (b) other operating expenses. 
Distributable Earnings, or “DE”, which is derived from Blackstone’s segment reported results, is a supplemental measure to assess performance and
amounts available for distributions to Blackstone unitholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the Blackstone
Holdings partnerships.  DE is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of the consolidation of the Blackstone Funds.  DE,
which is a component of ENI, is the sum across all segments of:  (a) Total Management and Advisory Fees, (b) Interest and Dividend Revenue, (c) Other
Revenue, (d) Realized Performance Fees, and (e) Realized Investment Income (Loss); less (a) Compensation, (b) Realized Performance Fee Compensation, (c)
Other Operating Expenses, and (d) Taxes and Related Payables Including the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement.  DE is reconciled to Blackstone’s
Consolidated Statement of Operations.  
Blackstone uses Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or “Adjusted EBITDA”, as a measure of segment performance
and an indicator of its ability to cover recurring operating expenses.  Adjusted EBITDA equals DE before segment interest expense, segment depreciation
and amortization, and the taxes and related payables including the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement.
Net Cash Available for Distribution to Common Unitholders is The Blackstone Group L.P.’s share of Distributable Earnings, less realized investment gains and
returns of capital from investments and acquisitions, in excess of amounts determined by Blackstone’s general partner to be necessary or appropriate to
provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and funds, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt
instruments or other agreements, or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and distributions to
unitholders for any ensuing quarter.
Blackstone discloses the following financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“non-GAAP”) in this presentation:
