Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies For a complete discussion of the Company’s commitments, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating Leases – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2023. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes occupancy rental expense relating to operating leases of $5,926 and $17,787 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $5,992 and $17,339 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Other Commitments – As of September 30, 2013, the Company has unfunded commitments for capital contributions of $10,224 to the private equity funds, $4,487 of which relates to a capital commitment to Trilantic that the Company agreed to in April 2013. These commitments will be funded as required through the end of each private equity fund’s investment period, subject to certain conditions. Such commitments are satisfied in cash and are generally required to be made as investment opportunities are consummated by the private equity funds. On June 27, 2013, Evercore Partners Services East L.L.C. ("East"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, obtained a line of credit from First Republic Bank in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000, to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. This facility is secured by (i) cash and cash equivalents of East held in a designated account with First Republic Bank, (ii) certain of East's intercompany receivables and (iii) third party accounts receivable of Evercore Group L.L.C. Drawings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal. The facility matures on June 27, 2014, and may be renewed or extended. There have been no monies drawn on this facility as of September 30, 2013. The Company also has commitments related to its redeemable noncontrolling interests. See Note 12 for further information. Contingencies 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, Mexican, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Canadian 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 predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot predict the 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. Legal reserves are established in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies” when warranted. Once established, reserves are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.
