2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which consists of only normal recurring items) have been made to fairly present the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.2023. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), following the consummation of the merger of CFAC and the Company. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, pursuant to Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition periods provided by the JOBS Act. As result of this election, its consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Continuing Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent spread of multiple variants has continued to impact the global economy and financial markets. Given the amount of uncertainty currently regarding the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is unable to predict the precise impact the COVID-19 pandemicCompany’s status as an EGC will haveterminate on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In line with public markets and credit indices, the Company’s investments may be adversely impacted.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
10


GCM Grosvenor Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)



Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable.
Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and fees receivable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Investments
Investments primarily consist of investments in GCM Funds and other funds the Company does not control, but is deemed to exert significant influence, and are generally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its share of the underlying income or loss of such entities, which reflects the net asset value of such investments. Management believes the net asset value of the funds is representative of fair value. The resulting gains and losses are included as investment income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.Income (Loss).
The Company’s equity method investments in the GCM Funds investing in private equity, real estate and infrastructure (“GCM PEREI Funds”) are valued based on the most recent available information, which typically has a delay of up to three months due to the timing of financial information received from the investments held by the GCM PEREI Funds. The Company records its share of capital contributions to and distributions from the GCM PEREI Funds within investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition during the three-month lag period. To the extent that management is aware of material events that affect the GCM PEREI Funds during the intervening period, the impact of the events would be disclosed in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain subsidiaries which hold the general partner capital interest in the GCM Funds are not wholly owned, and as such, the portion of the Company’s investments owned by limited partners in those subsidiaries are reflected within noncontrolling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
For certain other debt investments, the Company has elected the fair value option. Such election is irrevocable and is made at the investment level at initial recognition. The debt investments are not publicly traded and are a Level 3 fair value measurement. For investments carried at fair value, the Company records the increase or decrease in fair value as investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.Income (Loss). See Note 65 for additional information regarding the Company’s other investments.
Leases
The Company’s leases primarily consist of operating lease agreements for office space in various countries around the world, including for its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on a prospective basis. As a result, prior periods were not adjusted. The new standard requires lessees to use a right-of-use (“ROU”) model where lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition for all operating leases with initial terms exceeding one year. Lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s remaining minimum lease obligations. The Company made a permitted accounting policy election not to apply the ROU model to short-term leases, which are defined as leases with initial terms of one year or less.

The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at inception. Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term. When determining the lease term, the Company generally does not include options to renew as it is not reasonably certain at contract inception that the Company will exercise the option(s). The implicit rate is not generally readily determinable, so the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments. Lease ROU assets may include initial direct costs incurred by the Company and are reduced by lease incentives. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within general, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted in Current Fiscal Year
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires that operating leases be recorded as assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position, among other changes. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. On June 3, 2020, the FASB extended the adoption date for all other entities to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis. Adoption increased both the Company’s assets and liabilities for the recorded lease ROU and lease liability, with no material impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as expense for operating leases continues to be recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company elected to apply practical expedients provided in the guidance to not reassess: (1) whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) existing lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. On adoption, the Company recognized approximately $16 million of lease ROU assets and approximately $21 million of lease liabilities related to its operating leases in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including approximately $5 million that was reclassified from accrued rent (included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2021) to lease liabilities.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards – To be Adopted in Future Periods
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which modifies ASC 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance, among other changes, (i) provides a policy election to not allocate consolidated income taxes when a member of a consolidated tax return is not subject to income tax and (ii) provides guidance to evaluate whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination in which book goodwill was recognized or a separate transaction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. The Company will defer adoption until the guidance is effective for non-public entities, as the Company currently qualifies as an EGC and has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded to EGCs as it applies to the adoption of new accounting standards. The method of adoption varies for the updates included in the ASU. The Company is evaluating this guidance but currently expects that adoption will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. This guidance is for public business entities that are an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. On March 9, 2020, the FASB extended the adoption date for all other entities to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluatingadopted this guidance but currently expects that adoption willstandard on January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis. Adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.the Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Mosaic Transaction
Prior to Amendment and Exercise of Mosaic Call Right
Effective January 1, 2020, the Partnership and several subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Seller”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) and issued certain limited partnership interests in several subsidiaries (“Carry Plan Entities”) to Mosaic Acquisitions 2020, L.P. (“Mosaic”). In addition, Mosaic also acquired the rights to receive a percentage of carried interest from certain GCM Funds and agreed to provide additional funding under certain circumstances up to a maximum amount as defined in the Agreement (collectively, the “Mosaic Transaction”). Mosaic issued Class A and Class B equity interests to GCMH, Holdings and Mosaic Feeder, L.P. (“Mosaic Feeder”). The Partnership served as the general partner of Mosaic, which was consolidated as the Partnership holds a controlling financial interest in Mosaic. Mosaic Feeder was beneficially owned by Lakeshore Investments GP, LLC (“Lakeshore”), a related party, and an unaffiliated third-party investor (“Mosaic Counterparty”) and was not consolidated.
On December 31, 2020, the Company paid $2.6 million to Mosaic Feeder for the right, but not the obligation, to require Mosaic Feeder to sell to GCMH all of the Class A and Class B equity interests held by Mosaic Feeder in Mosaic (the “Mosaic Call Right”) for a purchase price equal to the greater of 1.3x its investment or a 12% internal rate of return on its investment.
Further, Mosaic Counterparty had the right, but not the obligation, to require the Partnership to acquire all of the Class A and Class B Interests held by Mosaic Feeder in Mosaic (the “Put Option”) for a purchase price equal to Mosaic Counterparty receiving the greater of 1.3x of its investment or a 12% internal rate of return on its investment (the “Put Price”). The Put Option could only be exercised if a Triggering Event as defined in the Agreement occurred, which management had deemed to be remote. If the Partnership declined to pay the Put Price, Mosaic Counterparty may either step in and act as the general partner of Mosaic and control Mosaic until Mosaic Counterparty recoups the Put Price or effect a transfer of the underlying assets of Mosaic to Mosaic Counterparty.
Management determined that the Mosaic Transaction should be evaluated under the guidance in ASC 810 and concluded that Mosaic was accounted for as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Partnership was deemed the primary beneficiary and therefore consolidated Mosaic. In addition, the Partnership concluded that the Put Option was embedded in an equity host contract but did not meet the net settlement criterion of an embedded derivative and therefore no separate accounting was required. However, as the Put Option was not solely within the control of the Partnership, the noncontrolling interest related to Mosaic had been classified as mezzanine equity.
Amendment and Exercise of Mosaic Call Right
The terms of the Mosaic Call Right were amended and the purchase price was reduced to 1.225x the investment for the period through July 15, 2021 in exchange for the Company bearing certain interim funding costs of Mosaic Feeder. On July 2, 2021, GCMH exercised the amended Mosaic Call Right to purchase the interest in Mosaic for a net purchase price of $165.0 million inclusive of distributions through the closing date but net of $19.5 million of consolidated Mosaic cash to fund investments and option premiums. GCMH’s purchase resulted in the interest previously held by Mosaic Counterparty no longer being accounted for as a redeemable noncontrolling interest of the Company following July 2, 2021. As the Company continues to consolidate Mosaic, the transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction without a change in control at the July 2, 2021 net carrying value, including associated tax impacts. As a result, $14.0 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and $47.5 million was recorded as a reduction to noncontrolling interests in GCMH on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity (Deficit) in the third quarter of 2021.

Initially the update did not apply to contract modifications or hedging relationships entered into after December 31, 2022, but in December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, which defers the sunset date for applying reference rate reform relief in ASC 848 to December 31, 2024. This guidance is effective for adoption any time after March 12, 2020, but must be adopted prior to December 31, 2024.

7. Warrants
The public and private warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and the Company records these warrants as liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recorded in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) at each reporting date.
Each public warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrants expire 5 years after the consummation of the Transaction, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The public warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A common stock, upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
The private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by CF Sponsor, Holdings or their permitted transferees. CF Sponsor, Holdings or their permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis.

9.8. Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates certain VIEs in which it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary.
The Company holds variable interests in certain entities that are VIEs which are not consolidated, as it is determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s involvement with such entities is generally in the form of direct equity interests in, and fee arrangements with, the entities in which it also serves as the general partner or managing member. The Company evaluated its variable interests in the VIEs and determined it is not considered the primary beneficiary of the entities primarily because it does not have interests in the entities that could potentially be significant. No reconsideration events that caused a change in the Company’s consolidation conclusions occurred during either the six months ended June 30, 20222023 or the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. As of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the total unfunded commitments from the special limited partner and general partners to the unconsolidated VIEs were $36.0$41.5 million and $34.7$41.1 million, respectively. These commitments are the primary source of financing for the unconsolidated VIEs.

Partnership Interest in Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC
Payments to the employeesand settlements for partnership interest awards to the employees are made by Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC.GCMH Equityholders. As a result, the Company records a non-cash profits interest compensation charge and an offsetting deemed contribution to equity (deficit) to reflect the payments or settlements made or owed by the GCMH Equityholders. As theSince payments or settlements are made by Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC, the expense that is pushed down to GCMH and the offsetting deemed contribution are each attributed solely to noncontrolling interests in GCMH. Any liability related to the awards is recognized at Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC as Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC is the party responsible for satisfying the obligation, and is not shown in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has recorded deemed contributions to equity (deficit) from Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC of approximately $7.0$63.1 million and $10.0$7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, and $14.1$74.2 million and $14.9$14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, for partnership interest-based compensation expense which was or will ultimately be paid or settled by Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC.
The Company hasGCMH Equityholders have modified awards to certain individuals upon their voluntary retirement or intention to retire as employees. These awards generally include a stated target amount that, upon payment, terminates the recipient’s rights to future distributions and allows for a lump sum buy-out of the awards, at the discretion of the managing member of Holdings, Holdings II, and Management LLC. The awards are accounted for as partnership interest-based compensation at the fair value of these expected future payments, in the period the employees accepted the offer. PartnershipNo partnership interest-based compensation expense related to award modifications of $1.5 millionwas recognized for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 (other than as discussed for the Holdings Awards below) and 2021,$1.5 million and $3.1 million was recognized for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The liability associated with awards that contain a stated target has been retained by Holdings as of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 20212022 and is re-measured at each reporting date, with any corresponding changes in liability being reflected as employee compensation and benefits expense of the Company. No recipients had unvested stated target payments as of June 30, 2023. Certain recipients had unvested stated target payments of $3.1 million and $9.4 million as of June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, which haswas not been reflected as employee compensation and benefits expense by the Company.Company as of June 30, 2022. The Company recognized partnership interest-based compensation expense of $5.5$8.5 million and $8.5$5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, and $11.0$14.3 million and $11.8$11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, related to profits interest awards that are in substance profit-sharing arrangements.
GCMH Equityholders Awards
In the year ended December 31, 2022, GCMH Equityholders entered into agreements that will transfer equity ownership between certain existing employee members of the GCMH Equityholders (“GCMH Equityholders Awards”). The GCMH Equityholders Awards will entitle recipients to receive Class A common stock upon vesting. The non-cash awards serve to transfer equity ownership from existing GCMH Equityholders to other existing member employees upon vesting. The GCMH Equityholders Awards do not dilute Class A common stockholders and do not impact cash flows of the Company. The GCMH Equityholders Awards are accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The awards generally will vest in May 2025 and do not entitle the recipients to dividends or distributions made on Class A common stock during the vesting period. As such, the fair value of the GCMH Equityholders Awards is based on the closing price of Class A common stock on the accounting grant date less the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period. GCMH Equityholders can settle the awards upon vesting by exchanging outstanding GCMH common units or by otherwise acquiring and delivering Class A common stock, and therefore the vesting of such awards will not dilute Class A common stockholders. The GCMH Equityholders Awards therefore have no economic impact on Class A common stockholders. As such, the expense that is pushed down to GCMH and the offsetting deemed contribution are each attributed solely to noncontrolling interests in GCMH, consistent with the accounting for payments to employees described above. The GCMH Equityholders Awards of 7,169,415 units had an aggregate grant date fair value of $53.4 million, or an average grant date fair value of $7.45 per unit. The Company recognized partnership interest-based compensation expense related to the GCMH Equityholders Awards of $5.5 million and $10.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested GCMH Equityholders Awards was $40.1 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 1.8 years.
Holdings Awards
On May 9, 2023, Holdings entered into amended and restated participation certificates with existing employee members (“Holdings Awards”). The Holdings Awards entitle recipients to a stated percentage, or minimum allocable share, of distributions from Holdings, as well as a profits interest with respect to net sale proceeds from dispositions of Holdings properties after certain threshold distributions to other members. Pursuant to ASC 505, the Holdings Awards will be recognized as compensation expense with a corresponding deemed contribution and are accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation as the awards have characteristics that are more akin to the risks and rewards of equity ownership in Holdings. These awards do not dilute Class A common stockholders and therefore have no economic impact on Class A common stockholders.
Certain of these existing employee members were previously awarded target amounts that entitled them to a stated percentage, or minimum allocable share, of distributions from Holdings until they received a sum certain. Those target amounts represented by those sums, which were previously recorded as partnership interest-based compensation, were reduced to zero in the amended and restated participation certificates. As a result, target amounts that were previously recorded as partnership interest-based compensation were reversed, while partnership interest-based compensation associated with the amended and restated participation certificates is recorded.
The Holdings Awards had an aggregate grant date fair value of $155.5 million. The fair value of the Holdings Awards was determined by a third-party valuation firm utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis for the minimum allocable share and a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for the profits interest with respect to net sale proceeds from dispositions of Holdings properties after the threshold distributions. Significant valuation inputs and assumptions included Holdings projected financial information and distributions, an estimated 10 year holding period, a 15.4% cost of equity, a 13.0% weighted average cost of capital, a 35% volatility assumption, the likelihood of a defined conversion event, a 40% discount for lack of marketability, and

the fair value of reference properties that determine the threshold distributions for the profits interest with respect to net sale proceeds. The resulting fair value of the Holdings Awards is pushed down from Holdings to the Company and recorded as compensation expense. A portion of the Holdings Awards were vested upon grant, resulting in immediate expense recognition. The Company recognized partnership interest-based compensation expense related to the Holdings Awards of $49.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which is net of $80.0 million target amounts reversed. A portion of the Holdings Awards will vest and be expensed over a requisite service period through December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested Holdings Awards was $26.4 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 1.1 years.
Other
Other consists of employee compensation and benefits expense related to deferred compensation programs and other awards that represent investments made in GCM Funds on behalf of the employees.
10. Equity-Based Compensation

The liability-classified RSUs are either classified as liabilities because they are required to be settled in cash or because the Company has the right to and intends to (as of June 30, 2023) settle the RSUs partially or wholly in cash.
The majority of liability-classified awards outstanding as of December 31, 2022 were granted on December 15, 2022 and vested on March 31, 2023. In March 2023, the Company reclassified 1.0 million RSUs granted on December 15, 2022 from liability-classified to equity-classified based on management’s intent to settle the awards in shares of Class A common stock. Other awards generally vest either (a) one-third at the grant date with the remainder over two years in equal annual installments or (b) over a one to three year period. Upon delivery, the Company may withhold the number of shares to satisfy the statutory withholding tax obligation and deliver the net number of resulting shares vested.

Senior Loan
On January 2, 2014, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility (“Senior Loan”), which was subsequently amended through several debt modifications.
On February 24, 2021, the Company completed an amendment and extension of its Senior Loan to further extend the maturity (“Amended Credit Agreement”). Approximately $290.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Loan was extended from a maturity date of March 29, 2025 (the “2025 Term Loans”) to a maturity date of February 24, 2028, (as extended, the “2028 Term Loans”). The 2028 Term Loans have an interest rate of 2.50% over the LIBOR, subject to a 0.50% LIBOR floor. In the event of a Benchmark Transition Event, the interest rate will default to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) plus a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment as recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body (all terms as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement).
Concurrently with the effectiveness of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company made a voluntary prepayment on the Senior Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $50.3 million. As a result of the prepayment in February 2021, the Company recorded an expense of $0.7 million related to the acceleration of deferred debt issuance costs, which was recorded within other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company capitalized $0.9 million of debt issuances costs related to payments to lenders in connection with the amendment and extension of its Senior Loan, which was recorded within debt in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and expensed $2.6 million of third-party costs related to the amendment which was recorded within general, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
On June 23, 2021, the Company further amended its Senior Loan to increase the aggregate principal amount from $290.0 million to $400.0 million (as extended and increased, the “Incremental 2028“2028 Term Loans”). The Company capitalized $0.9 million and $2.2 million of debt issuanceissuances costs related to payments to lenders in connection with the Incremental 2028 Term Loans,amendments and extension of its Senior Loan in February and June 2021, respectively, which waswere recorded within debt in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
QuarterlySince June 30, 2021, quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million are required to be made toward the Incremental 2028 Term Loans beginning June 30, 2021 (less any reduction for prior or future voluntary or mandatory prepayments of principal). Through June 30, 2023, the 2028 Term Loans had an interest rate of 2.50% over the LIBOR, subject to a 0.50% LIBOR floor. On June 29, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Credit Agreement to incorporate changes for the contemplated transition to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), and on July 1, 2023, in conjunction with a Benchmark Transition Event, the interest rate defaulted to the Term SOFR plus a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment as recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body (all terms as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement).
In addition to the scheduled principal repayments, the Company is required to offer to make prepayments of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (“Cash Flow Payments”) no later than five days following the date the quarterly financial statements are due if the leverage ratio exceeds 2.50x. The Cash Flow Payments were calculated as defined in the Senior Loan agreement based on a percentage of calculated excess cash. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, the Company did not make any Cash Flow Payments.
As of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021, $395.02022, $391.0 million and $397.0$393.0 million of Incremental 2028 Term Loans were outstanding, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 3.14%7.27% and 3.40%3.14% for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively.
Under the credit and guaranty agreement governing the terms of the Senior Loan, the Company must maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. The credit and guaranty agreement also contains other covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt and restrict the Company and its subsidiaries ability to

GCMH Equityholders and IntermediateCo have executed a pledge agreement (“Pledge Agreement”) and security agreement (“Security Agreement”) with the lenders of the Senior Loan. Under the Pledge Agreement, GCMH Equityholders and IntermediateCo have agreed to secure the obligations under the Senior Loan by pledging its interests in GCMH as collateral against the repayment of the senior secured notes, and GCMH has agreed to secure the obligations under the Senior Loan by granting a security interest in and continuing lien on the collateral described in the Security Agreement. The Pledge Agreement and Security Agreement will remain in effect until such time as all obligations relating to the Senior Loan have been fulfilled.
Credit Facility

The Credit Facility matures on February 24, 2026 and carries an unused commitment fee that is paid quarterly. There were no outstanding borrowings related to the Credit Facility as of each of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022.

The carrying value of the Senior Loan, excluding the unamortized debt issuance costs presented as a reduction to the principal balance, had an approximate fair value of $373.3 million as of June 30, 2022 and approximated the fair value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 20212022. As the Senior Loan was not accounted for at fair value, it was not included in the Company’s fair value hierarchy in Note 6,5, however had it been included, it would have been classified in Level 2.

In October 2022, the Company terminated derivative instruments which were entered into in 2021 and received $40.3 million of cash for the fair market value of the interest rate swaps at termination. The amounts previously recorded as hedges in AOCI will remain in AOCI and will be recorded in interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the original lives of the derivative instruments.
The Company reclassified $1.9 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2.9 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, from AOCI to interest expense relating to the derivative instruments terminated that initially qualified for hedge accounting. The net impact of these reclassifications decreased interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and increased interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that contain a number of representations and warranties, which may provide for general or specific indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these contracts is not currently known, as any such exposure would be based on future claims, which could be made against the Company. The Company’s management is not currently aware of any such pending claims and based on its experience, the Company believes the risk of loss related to these arrangements to be remote.
From time to time, the Company is a defendant in various lawsuits related to its business. The Company’s management does not believe that the outcome of any current litigation will have a material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Risks
The Company may be exposed to a risk of loss by virtue of certain subsidiaries serving as the general partner of GCM Funds organized as limited partnerships. As general partner of a GCM Fund organized as a limited partnership, the Company’s subsidiaries that serve as the general partner have exposure to risk of loss that is not limited to the amount of its investment in such GCM Fund.

The Company incurs certain costs, primarily related to accounting, client reporting, investment-decision making and treasury-related expenditures, for which it receives reimbursement from the GCM Funds in connection with its performance obligations to provide investment management services. The Company also incurs certain costs, primarily related to employee benefits and travel, for which it receives reimbursement from Holdings.

16.15. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate used for interim periods is based on the tax effect of items recorded discretely in the interim period in which those items occur. The effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated amount of income subject to income tax and allocation of tax benefit to noncontrolling interest; therefore, the effective tax rate can vary from period to period. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and adjusts the valuation allowance when it is expected a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 6% (6)%and 9%6% for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, and 7%(5)% and 4%7% for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. These rates were different than the statutory rate primarily due to the portion of income allocated to the noncontrolling interest holders, a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets and discrete tax adjustments recorded in the periods.
As of June 30, 2022,2023, the Company had no unrecognized tax positions and believes there will be no changes to uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months.
On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into law. In general, the provisions of the IRA will be effective beginning with the fiscal year 2023, with certain exceptions.

When applying the if-converted method to calculate the potential dilutive impact of the exchangeable common units of the Partnership, the earnings (loss) per share numerator adjustment reflects the net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in GCMH, as reported, adjusted for the hypothetical incremental provision (benefit) for income taxes that would have been recorded by the Company if the units had been converted.
Shares of the Company’s Class C common stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, a separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class C common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under the “Risk Factors” section of Part I, Item IA in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021,2022, and under the “Forward-Looking Statements” section elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a leading alternative asset management solutions provider that invests across all major alternative investment strategies. We invest on a primary, secondary, co-investment and direct basis. We operate customized separate accounts and commingled funds. We collaborate with our clients to invest on their behalf across the private and public markets, either through portfolios customized to meet a client’s specific objectives or through specialized commingled funds that are developed to meet broad market demands for strategies and risk-return objectives.
We operate at scale across the full range of private markets and absolute return strategies. Private markets and absolute return strategies are primarily defined by the liquidity of the underlying securities purchased, the length of the client commitment, and the form and timing of incentive fees. For private markets strategies, clients generally commit to invest over a three-year time period and have an expected duration of seven years or more. In private markets strategies, carried interest is typically based on realized gains on liquidation of the investment. For absolute return strategies, the securities tend to be more liquid, clients have the ability to redeem assets more regularly, and performance fees can be earned on an annual basis. We offer the following investment strategies:
Private Equity
Infrastructure
Real Estate
Absolute Return Strategies
Alternative Credit
ESG and Impact Strategies
Our clients include large, sophisticated, global institutional investors who rely on our investment expertise and differentiated investment access to navigate the alternatives market, but also include a growing non-institutional client base. As one of the pioneers of the customized separate account solutions, we are equipped to provide investment services to clients with a wide variety of needs, internal resources and investment objectives, and our client relationships are deep and frequently span decades.
Trends Affecting Our Business
As a global alternative asset manager, our results of operations are impacted by a variety of factors, including conditions in the global financial markets and economic and political environments, particularly in the United States, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East. In the currentWhile economic factors, such as interest rate environment and as public equities are not able to achieve expected returns, there is increased investor demand forrates, can make alternative investments more or less attractive relative to achieve higher yields.other asset classes, investors have increasingly gravitated towards the returns generated by alternative investments in order to meet their return objectives. In addition, increased equity market volatility can also contribute to increased investor demand for alternative strategies. Finally, the opportunities in private markets continue to expand as firms raise new funds and launch new vehicles and products to access private markets across the globe.
In addition to the trends discussed above, we believe the following factors, among others, will influence our future performance and results of operations:
Our ability to retain existing investors and attract new investors in our funds.
Our ability to retain existing assets under management and attract new investors in our funds is partially dependent on the extent to which investors continue to favorably see the alternative asset management industry relative to traditional publicly listed equity and debt securities. A decline in the pace or the size of our fundraising efforts or investments as a result of
2928


increased competition in the private markets investing environment or a shift toward public markets may impact our revenues, which are generated from management fees and incentive fees.
Our ability to expand our business through new lines of business and geographic markets.
Our ability to grow our revenue base is partially dependent upon our ability to offer additional products and services by entering into new lines of business and by entering into, or expanding our presence in, new geographic markets. Entry into certain lines of business or geographic markets or the introduction of new types of products or services may subject us to the evolving macroeconomic and regulatory environment of the various countries where we operate or in which we invest.
Our ability to realize investments.
Challenging market and economic conditions may adversely affect our ability to exit and realize value from our investments and we may not be able to find suitable investments in which to effectively deploy capital. During periods of adverse economic conditions, such as due to the current COVID-19 pandemic addressed further below, current geopolitical turmoil abroad and increasing inflation and interest rates, our funds may have difficulty accessing financial markets, which could make it more difficult to obtain funding for additional investments and impact our ability to successfully exit positions in a timely manner. A general market downturn, a recession or a specific market dislocation may result in lower investment returns for our funds, which would adversely affect our revenues.
Our ability to identify suitable investment opportunities for our clients.
Our success largely depends on the identification and availability of suitable investment opportunities for our clients, and, in particular, the success of the investment vehicles managed by third-party investment managers in which GCM Funds invest. The availability of investment opportunities is subject to certain factors outside of our control and the control of the investment managers with which we invest for our funds.funds, including the market environment at a given point in time. Although there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure the opportunity to invest on behalf of our clients in all or a substantial portion of the investments we select, or that the size of the investment opportunities available to us will be as large as we would desire, we seek to maintain excellent relationships with investment managers of investment funds, including those in which we have previously made investments for our clients and those in which we may in the future invest, as well as sponsors of investments that might provide co-investment opportunities in portfolio companies alongside the sponsoring fund manager. Our ability to identify attractive investments and execute on those investments is dependent on a number of factors, including the general macroeconomic environment, valuation, transaction size, and expected duration of such investment opportunity.
Our ability to generate strong returns.
The ability to attract and retain clients is partially dependent on returns we are able to deliver versus our peers. The capital we are able to attract drives the growth of our assets under management and the management and incentive fees we earn. Similarly, in order to maintain our desired fee structure in a competitive environment, we must be able to continue to provide clients with investment returns and service that incentivize our investors to pay our desired fee rates.
Our ability to comply with increasing and evolving regulatory requirements.
The complex and evolving regulatory and tax environment may have an adverse effect on our business and subject us to additional expenses or capital requirements, as well as restrictions on our business operations.
The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruption and continued uncertainty in the global economic markets, which in turn has impacted our business.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and may further impact, our business in various ways, including but not limited to the following:
Restrictions on travel and public gatherings have resulted in many of our client and prospect meetings not currently taking place in person. The majority of our employees work from home on at least a partially remote schedule. As a consequence, we conduct many client and prospective client dialogue remotely, which has impeded and may continue to impede our ability to market our funds and raise new business, which may result in lower or delayed revenue growth, and it has become more difficult to conduct due diligence on investments.
30


A slowdown in fundraising activity has in the past resulted in delayed or decreased management fees and could result in delayed or decreased management fees in the future compared to prior periods.
In light of uncertainty in public equity markets and other components of their investment portfolios, investors may become restricted by their asset allocation policies to invest in new or successor funds that we provide, or may be prohibited by new laws or regulations from funding existing commitments.
Our liquidity and cash flows may be adversely impacted by declines or delays in realized incentive fees and management fee revenues.
Our funds invest in industries that have been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including healthcare, travel, entertainment, hospitality and retail, which in turn has impacted and may continue to impact the value of our investments.
We believe COVID-19’s adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations will be significantly driven by a number of factors that we are unable to predict or control, including, for example: the severity and duration of the pandemic, including the timing of vaccination of the global population or the availability of a treatment for COVID-19; the impact of new variants of COVID-19; the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies; the timing, scope and effectiveness of additional governmental responses to the pandemic; the timing and path of economic recovery; and the negative impact on our clients, counterparties, vendors and other business partners that may indirectly adversely affect us.
As of June 30, 2022, we believe we have adequate liquidity with approximately $78.5 million in available cash and $48.2 million of available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (defined below). For more information on our Credit Facilities, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness”.
Operating Segments
We have determined that we operate in a single operating and reportable segment, consistent with how our chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
We generate revenues from management fees and incentive fees, which includes carried interest and performance fees.
29


Management Fees
Management Fees
We earn management fees from providing investment management services to specialized funds and customized separate account clients. Specialized funds are generally structured as partnerships or companies having multiple investors. Customized separate account clients may be structured using an affiliate-managed entity or may involve an investment management agreement between us and a single client. Certain separate account clients may have us manage assets both with full discretion over investments decisions as well as without discretion over investment decisions and may also receive access to various other advisory services the firm may provide.
Certain of our management fees, typically associated with our private markets strategies, are based on client commitments to those funds during an initial commitment or investment period. During this period fees may be charged on total commitments, on invested capital (capital committed to underlying investments) or on a ratable ramp-in of total commitments, which is meant to mirror typical invested capital pacing. Following the expiration or termination of such period, certain fees continue to be based on client commitments while others are based on invested assets or based on invested capital and unfunded deal commitments less returned capital or based on a fixed ramp down schedule.
Certain of our management fees, typically associated with absolute return strategies, are based on the NAV of those funds. Such GCM Funds either have a set fee for the entire fund or a fee scale through which clients with larger commitments pay a lower fee.
Management fees are determined quarterly and are more commonly billed in advance based on the management fee rate applied to the management fee base at the end of the preceding quarterly period as defined in the respective contractual agreements.
We provided investment management/management / advisory services on assets of $71.2$76.0 billion and $72.1$73.7 billion as of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.
31


Fund expense reimbursement revenue
We incur certain costs, primarily related to accounting, client reporting, investment-decision making and treasury-related expenditures, for which we receive reimbursement from the GCM Funds in connection with its performance obligations to provide investment management services. We concluded that we control the services provided and resources used before they are transferred to the customer, and therefore we act as a principal. Accordingly, the reimbursement for these costs incurred by us are presented on a gross basis within management fees. Expense reimbursements are recognized at a point in time, in the periods during which the related expenses are incurred and the reimbursements are contractually earned.
Incentive Fees
Incentive fees are based on the results of our funds, in the form of performance fees and carried interest income, which together comprise incentive fees.
Carried Interest
Carried interest is a performance-based capital allocation from a fund’s limited partners earned by us in certain GCM Funds, more commonly in private markets strategies. Carried interest is typically a percentage of the profits calculated in accordance with the terms of fund agreements, certain fees and a preferred return to the fund’s limited partners. Carried interest is ultimately realized when underlying investments distribute proceeds or are sold and therefore carried interest is highly susceptible to market factors, judgments, and actions of third parties that are outside of our control.
Agreements generally include a clawback provision that, if triggered, would require us to return up to the cumulative amount of carried interest distributed, typically net of tax, upon liquidation of those funds, if the aggregate amount paid as carried interest exceeds the amount actually due based upon the aggregate performance of each fund. We have defined the portion to be deferred as the amount of carried interest, typically net of tax, that we would be required to return if all remaining investments had no value as of the end of each reporting period. As of June 30, 2022,2023, deferred revenue relating to constrained realized carried interest was approximately $6.1 million.
Assets under management that are subject to carried interest, excluding investments of the firm and our professionals from which we generally do not earn incentive fees, were approximately $36.841.6 billion as of June 30, 2022.2023.
30


Performance Fees
We may receive performance fees from certain GCM Funds, more commonly in funds associated with absolute return strategies. Performance fees are typically a fixed percentage of investment gains, subject to loss carryforward provisions that require the recapture of any previous losses before any performance fees can be earned in the current period. Performance fees may or may not be subject to a hurdle or a preferred return, which requires that clients earn a specified minimum return before a performance fee can be assessed. These performance fees are determined based upon investment performance at the end of a specified measurement period, generally the end of the calendar year.
Investment returns are highly susceptible to market factors, judgments, and actions of third parties that are outside of our control. Accordingly, performance fees are variable consideration and are therefore constrained and not recognized until it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. In the event that a client redeems from one of the GCM Funds prior to the end of a measurement period, any accrued performance fee is ordinarily due and payable by such redeeming client as of the date of the redemption.
Assets under management that are subject to performance fees, excluding investments of the firm and our professionals from which we generally do not earn incentive fees, were approximately $12.9$12.3 billion as of June 30, 2022.2023.
Other Operating Income
Other operating income primarily consists of administrative fees from certain private investment vehicles where we perform a full suite of administrative functions but do not manage or advise and have no discretion over the capital.
32


Expenses
Employee Compensation and Benefits
Employee compensation and benefits primarily consists of (1) cash-based employee compensation and benefits, (2) equity-based compensation, (3) partnership interest-based compensation, (4) carried interest compensation, (5) cash-based incentive fee related compensation and (6) other non-cash compensation. Bonus and incentive fee related compensation is generally determined by our management and is discretionary taking into consideration, among other things, our financial results and the employee’s performance. In addition, various individuals, including certain senior professionals have been awarded partnership interests andand/or restricted stock units (“RSUs”). These partnership interests grant the recipient the right to certain cash distributions from GCMH Equityholders’ profits to(to the extent such distributions are authorized,authorized) and/or to certain net sale proceeds after threshold distributions, resulting in non-cash profits interest compensation expense. Certain employees and former employees are also entitled to a portion of the carried interest and performance fees realized from certain GCM Funds, which is payable upon a realization of the carried interest or performance fees. The Company recognizes non-cash compensation expense attributable to the RSUs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
General, Administrative and Other
General, administrative and other consists primarily of professional fees, travel and related expenses, communications and information services, occupancy, fund expenses, depreciation and amortization, and other costs associated with our operations.
Net Other Income (Expense)
Investment Income (Loss)
Investment income (loss) primarily consists of gains and losses arising from our equity method investments.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest paid and accrued on our outstanding debt, along with the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs incurred from debt issued by us, including the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility entered into by us. Interest expense also includes (1) the impact of qualifying effective cash flow hedges and (2) the amortization of realized gains or losses on interest rate swaps that initially qualified for hedge accounting and were subsequently terminated. The unrealized gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense over the original life of the swap.
31


Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of gains and losses on certain derivatives and other non-operating items, including write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs due to prepayments and refinancing of debt and interest income.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities are non-cash changes and consist of fair value adjustments related to the outstanding public and private warrants issued in connection with the Transaction. The warrant liabilities are classified as marked-to-market liabilities pursuant to ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and the corresponding increase or decrease in value impacts our net income (loss).
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
We are a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes on our share of taxable income generated by the Company. GCMH is treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As such, income generated by GCMH flows through to its partners, and is generally not subject to U.S. federal or state income tax at the partnership level. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries generally operate as corporate entities in non-U.S. jurisdictions, with certain of these entities subject to local or non-U.S. income taxes. The tax liability with respect to income attributable to noncontrolling interests in GCMH is borne by the holders of such noncontrolling interests.





33


Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest related to certain limited partnership interests that were subject to redemptions by third-party investors. As these interests were redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Company, amounts relating to third-party interests in such consolidated entities were classified within the mezzanine section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as redeemable noncontrolling interest. There was no remaining redeemable noncontrolling interest following the exercise of the Mosaic call right on July 2, 2021, as further described in Note 3 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries represents the economic interests of third parties in certain consolidated subsidiaries.
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in GCMH represents the economic interests of GCMH Equityholders in GCMH. Profits and losses, other than partnership interest-based compensation, are allocated to the noncontrolling interests in GCMH in proportion to their relative ownership interests regardless of their basis.

Three Months Ended June 30, 20222023 and June 30, 20212022
Management fees increased $7.2 million, or 8%, to $92.8of $93.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 were generally consistent with those in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Private markets strategies fees increased $2.6 million, or 5%, primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in private markets strategies specialized funds fees and a $1.9 million increase in private markets strategies customized separate accounts fees, both as a result of capital raising and deployment. Fund expense reimbursement revenue increased $1.5 million, or 66%, to $3.8 million. These increases were largely offset by a decrease of $3.4 million, or 8%, in absolute return strategies fees driven by lower FPAUM primarily as a result of net withdrawals.
Incentive fees consisted of carried interest and performance fees. Carried interest increased $2.5 million, or 25%, to $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.2022. Performance fees of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were generally consistent with those in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in carried interest was primarily due to higher tax carry realizations during the three months ended June 30, 2023 based off 2022 taxable income.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022
Management fees of $185.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were generally consistent with those in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Carried interest decreased $2.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in carried interest is primarily due to several large funds realizing distributions during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in performance fees is primarily due to lower returns for absolute return strategies funds with a June 30 fiscal year end during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Additionally, there was a $2.3 million increase in absolute return strategies fees, primarily due to increases in FPAUM as of January 1, 2022 from investment gains during the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in market value of absolute return strategies FPAUM during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as discussed below, did not impact the majority of absolute return strategies management fees for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as most of such management fees are earned based on beginning of period FPAUM.

Fee-Paying AUM
FPAUM is a metric we use to measure the assets from which we earn management fees. Our FPAUM comprises the assets in our customized separate accounts and specialized funds from which we derive management fees. We classify customized separate account revenue as management fees if the client is charged an asset-based fee, which includes the vast majority of our discretionary AUM accounts. Our FPAUM for private market strategies typically represents committed, invested or scheduled capital during the investment period and invested capital following the expiration or termination of the investment period. Substantially all of our private markets strategies funds earn fees based on commitments or net invested capital, which are not affected by market appreciation or depreciation. Our FPAUM for our absolute return strategy is based on NAV, which includes impacts of any market appreciation or depreciation.
Our calculations of FPAUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Our definition of FPAUM is not based on any definition that is set forth in the agreements governing the customized separate accounts or specialized funds that we manage.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results of operations above, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to assess the performance of our business across reporting periods and believebelieves this information is useful to investors for the same reasons. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are reconciled below. Further, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these measurements in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures including revenues and net income (loss). We may calculate or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than other companies who report measures with the same or similar names, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable.

Net Incentive Fees Attributable to GCM Grosvenor
Net incentive fees are used to highlight fees earned from incentive fees that are attributable to GCM Grosvenor. Net incentive fees represent incentive fees excluding (a) incentive fees contractually owed to others and (b) cash-based incentive fee related compensation. Net incentive fees are used by management in making compensation and capital allocation decisions and we believe that they provide investors useful information regarding the amount that such fees contribute to the Company’s earnings and are used by management in making compensation and capital allocation decisions.earnings.

Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures used to evaluate our profitability.
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income represents net income attributable to GCM Grosvenor Inc. including (a) net income (loss) attributable to GCMH, excluding (b) provision for income taxes, (c) changes in fair value of derivatives and warrant liabilities, (d) amortization expense, (e) partnership interest-based and non-cash compensation, (f) equity-based compensation, including cash-settled equity awards (as we view the cash settlement as a separate capital transaction), (g) unrealized investment income, (h) changes in TRA liability and (i) certain other items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance, including charges related to corporate transactions and employee severance.

Adjusted Net Income represents Adjusted Pre-Tax Income minus adjusted income taxes.fully taxed at each period’s blended statutory tax rate.
Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted Net Income excluding (a) adjusted income taxes, (b) depreciation and amortization expense and (c) interest expense on our outstanding debt.
The Company is a holding company with no material assets other than its indirect ownership of equity interests in GCMH.GCMH and certain deferred tax assets. The GCMH Equityholders may from time to time cause GCMH to redeem any or all of their GCMH common units in exchange, at the Company’s election, for either cash (based on the market price for a share of the Class A common stock) or shares of Class A common stock. As such, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in GCMH is added back in order to reflect the full economics of the underlying business as if GCMH Equityholders converted their interests to shares of Class A common stock. Other noncontrolling interests do not have the ability to convert those interests into equity interests of the Company, and as such, income (loss) attributable to these noncontrolling interests are not adjusted for in our non-GAAP financial measures.
We believe Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because they provide additional insight into the operating profitability of our core business across reporting periods. These measures (1)

present a view of the economics of the underlying business as if GCMH Equityholders converted their interests to shares of Class A common stock and (2) adjust for certain non-cash and other activity in order to provide more comparable results of the core business across reporting periods. These measures are used by management in budgeting, forecasting and evaluating operating results.

Adjusted Net Income Per Share
Adjusted net income per share is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by adjusted shares outstanding. Adjusted shares outstanding assumes the hypothetical full exchange of limited partnership interests in GCMH into Class A common stock of GCM Grosvenor Inc., the dilution from outstanding warrants for Class A common stock of GCM Grosvenor Inc. and the dilution from outstanding equity-based compensation. We believe adjusted net income per share is useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate per-share performance across reporting periods.
The following table shows a reconciliation of diluted weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding to adjusted shares outstanding used in the computation of adjusted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021:2022:

Fee-Related Revenue and Fee-Related Earnings
Fee-Related Revenue (“FRR”) is a non-GAAP measure used to highlight revenues from recurring management fees and administrative fees. FRR represents total operating revenues less (1) incentive fees and (2) fund reimbursement revenue. We believe FRR is useful to investors because it provides additional insight into our relatively stable management fee base separate from incentive fee revenues, which tend to have greater variability.
Fee-Related Earnings (“FRE”) is a non-GAAP metric used to highlight earnings from recurring management fees and administrative fees. FRE represents adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude (a) incentive fees and related compensation and (b) other non-operating income, and to include depreciation expense. We believe FRE is useful to investors because it provides additional insights into the management fee driven operating profitability of our business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations and working capital through net cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility (each as defined below). As of June 30, 2022,2023, we had $78.5$50.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity of $48.2 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. On July 29, 2022, the SEC declared effective our Registration Statement on Form S-3, pursuant to which the Company may issue a combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings from time to time. Our primary cash needs are to fund working capital requirements, invest in growing our business, make investments in GCM Funds, make scheduled principal payments and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, pay dividends to holders of our Class A common stock, and pay tax distributions to members. Additionally, as a result of the Transaction, we need cash to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We expect that our cash flow from operations, current cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations and planned capital expenditures and to service our debt obligations for the next twelve months.months and the foreseeable future.
We are required to maintain minimum net capital balances for regulatory purposes for our Japan, Hong Kong and United Kingdom andsubsidiaries as well as our U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries.subsidiary. These net capital requirements are met by retaining cash. As a result, we may be restricted in our ability to transfer cash between different operating entities and jurisdictions. As of June 30, 20222023 we are in compliance with these regulatory requirements.

On January 2, 2014, GCMH entered into a credit agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”) that provides GCMH with a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and for commitments for a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). Under the Revolving Credit Facility, $15.0 million is available for letters of credit and $10.0 million is available for swingline loans.
46


On February 24, 2021, we entered into an amended Credit Agreement, which among other things reduced the interest rate margin and extended the maturity dates of our Term Loan Facility. Concurrently with the amendment, we also made a voluntary prepayment on the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50.3 million. The maturity date of all of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility is February 24, 2028, and the maturity date for the full amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is February 24, 2026.
On June 23, 2021, the Company further amended its Term Loan Facility to increase the aggregate principal amount from $290.0 million to $400.0 million. On June 29, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Credit Agreement to

incorporate changes for the contemplated transition to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), and on July 1, 2023, in conjunction with a Benchmark Transition Event, the interest rate defaulted to the Term SOFR plus a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment as recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body (all terms as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). As of June 30, 2022,2023, GCMH had borrowings of $395.0$391.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2023, we had available borrowing capacity of $48.2 million under our Revolving Credit Facility.
See Note 1211 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of our outstanding indebtedness.
The terms of the Company’s current debt instruments contain covenants that may restrict the Company and its subsidiaries from paying distributions to its members. As a holding company, we are dependent upon the ability of GCMH to make distributions to its members, including us. However, the ability of GCMH to make such distributions is subject to its operating results, cash requirements and financial condition, restrictive covenants in our debt instruments and applicable Delaware law. These restrictions include restrictions on the payment of distributions whenever the payment of such distributions would cause GCMH to no longer be in compliance with any of its financial covenants under the Term Loan Facility. Absent an event of default under the Credit Agreement governing the terms of the Term Loan Facility, GCMH may make unlimited distributions when the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is below 2.75x. As of June 30, 2022,2023, the Total Leverage Ratio was below 2.75x and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
See Note 12 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of our interest rate derivatives to hedge interest rate risk related to the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. Effective November 1, 2022, the Company terminated the existing interest rate derivatives and received $40.3 million of cash for the fair market value of the swaps at termination. Also effective on November 1, 2022, the Company entered into a new swap agreement to hedge interest rate risk related the outstanding indebtedness that has a notional amount of $300 million and a fixed rate of 4.37%.
Dividend Policy
We are a holding company with no material assets other than our indirect ownership of equity interests in GCMH and certain deferred tax assets. As such, we do not have any independent means of generating revenue. However, management of GCM Grosvenor expects to cause GCMH to make distributions to its members, including us, in an amount at least sufficient to allow us to pay all applicable taxes, to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and to pay our corporate and other overhead expenses. On August 8, 2022,2023, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10$0.11 per share of Class A common stock to record holders as of the close of business on September 1, 20222023. The payment date will be September 15, 2022.2023. The payment of cash dividends on shares of our Class A common stock in the future, in this amount or otherwise, will be within the discretion of GCMG’s Board of Directors at such time.
Stock Repurchase Plan
On August 6, 2021, GCMG’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan of up to an aggregate of $25.0 million, excluding fees and expenses, which may be used to repurchase the company’sCompany’s outstanding Class A common stock and warrants to purchase Class A common stock, as well as to reduce Class A shares to be issued to employees to satisfy associated tax obligations in connection with the settlement of equity-based awards granted under our 2020 Incentive Award Plan (and any successor equity plan thereto).stock. Our Class A common stock and warrants may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, including with employees or otherwise, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, as well as to retire (by cash settlement or otherwise,the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) equity-based awards granted under our 2020 Incentive Award Plan (and any successor plan thereto), with the terms and conditions of these repurchases depending on legal requirements, price, market and economic conditions and other factors. We are not obligated under the terms of the program to repurchase any of our Class A common stock or warrants, the program has no expiration date and we may suspend or terminate the program at any time without prior notice. Any shares of Class A common stock and any warrants repurchased as part of this program will be canceled. On February 10, 2022, GCMG’s Board of Directors increasedhas made subsequent increases to its stock repurchase authorization for shares and warrants by $20.0warrants. As of December 31, 2022, the total authorization was $90.0 million, from $25.0 million to $45.0 million. On May 5, 2022, GCMG’s Board of Directors further increased the repurchase authorization for sharesexcluding fees and warrants by$20.0 million, from $45.0 million as of February 10, 2022 to $65.0 million.expenses.

On August 8, 2023, GCM Grosvenor's Board of Directors increased the firm's existing share repurchase authorization by $25 million, from $90 million to $115 million.
We review our capital return plan on an on-going basis, considering the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, our financial performance and liquidity position, investments required to execute our strategic plans and initiatives, acquisition

opportunities, the economic outlook, regulatory changes and other relevant factors. As these factors may change over time, the actual amounts expended on repurchase activity, dividends, and acquisitions, if any, during any particular period cannot be predicted and may fluctuate from time to time.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Exchanges of Grosvenor common units by limited partners of GCMH will result in increases in the tax basis in our share of the assets of GCMH and its subsidiaries that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis are expected to increase our depreciation and amortization deductions and create other tax benefits, and therefore may reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future. The Tax Receivable Agreement requires us to pay 85% of the amount of these and certain other tax benefits, if any, that we realize (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) to the TRA Parties. As of June 30, 2022,2023, the amount payable to related parties pursuant to the tax receivable agreementTax Receivable Agreement was $59.3$55.4 million.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
In June 2023, the Company executed an agreement to lease office space for its New York office which will replace the existing New York office space. See Note 13 in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of the lease payments. There have beenare no other material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our judgments on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For a more complete discussion of the accounting judgments and estimates that we have identified as critical in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, please refer to Note 2 in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Information regarding recent accounting developments and their impact on our results can be found in Note 2 in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to a broad range of risks inherent in the financial markets in which we participate, including price risk, interest-rate risk, access to and cost of financing risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and foreign exchange-rate risk. Potentially negative effects of these risks may be mitigated to a certain extent by those aspects of our investment approach, investment strategies, fundraising practices or other business activities that are designed to benefit, either in relative or absolute terms, from periods of economic weakness, tighter credit or financial market dislocations.
Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as general partner or investment manager for our funds and the sensitivity to movements in the fair value of their investments, which may adversely affect our investment income, management fees, and incentive fees, as applicable.
There have been no material changes in our market risks during the six months ended June 30, 2022.2023. For additional information, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints
48


and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2022.2023.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 20222023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are a defendant in various lawsuits related to our business. We do not believe that the outcome of any current litigation will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated statements of financial condition or statements of income.
In the normal course of business, we may enter into contracts that contain a number of representations and warranties, which may provide for general or specific indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these contracts is not currently known, as any such exposure would be based on future claims, which could be made against us. We are not currently aware of any such pending claims and based on our experience, we believe the risk of loss related to these arrangements to be remote.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022.
