ALLIANCE CAPITAL ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2003 RESULTS
Alliance Capital Management Holding L.P. Announces GAAP Net Income of $0.37 per Unit
and Declares a $0.37 per Unit Cash Distribution
Providing Guidance for Net Income per Unit
New York, NY, April 29, 2003 – Alliance Capital Management Holding L.P. (“Alliance Holding”) (NYSE: AC), the publicly traded partnership, and Alliance Capital Management L.P. (“Alliance Capital”), the Operating Partnership, today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Historically, in addition to GAAP net income, Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding have reported Net Operating Earnings (net income excluding amortization of goodwill and intangible assets). Since the difference between these measurements has narrowed (to approximately $0.08 per Unit annually), management has elected to report GAAP net income exclusively.
Alliance Holding (The Publicly Traded Partnership):
• Distribution per Alliance Holding Unit will be $0.37 compared to $0.59 per Unit in the year ago quarter. The distribution is payable on May 22, 2003 to record holders of Alliance Holding Units at the close of business on May 9, 2003.
• Diluted net income per Unit was $0.37, a decline of 36.2% from $0.58 per Unit. (Net Operating Earnings, which is the basis for current analyst consensus estimates, would have been $0.39 per Unit for the quarter.)
Alliance Capital (The Operating Partnership):
• Assets Under Management (AUM) at March 31, 2003 were $386 billion, down 14.6% from March 31, 2002, primarily as a result of market depreciation.
• Average AUM were $384 billion, a decrease of 14.2% as compared to $448 billion in the year ago quarter.
• Net asset inflows were $4.1 billion for the quarter. However, net asset outflows totaled $5.3 billion on a trailing twelve-month basis.
• Revenues declined 16.4% to $602.6 million, the result of lower average AUM and a 19.4% drop in Institutional Research Services revenues.
• Operating expenses for the quarter were $482 million, a decrease of 10.5%.
• Net income was $109 million compared to $168 million in the year ago quarter.
• Pre-tax margin was 22.9% compared to 29.9% in the first quarter of 2002. (GAAP pre-tax margin was 19.1% compared to 24.5% in the first quarter of 2002. Pre-tax margin is presented as a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see table entitled “Analysis of Pre-tax Margin,” which includes a reconciliation to GAAP pre-tax margin not provided in the press release originally issued.)

GUIDANCE
“Year-over-year comparisons were difficult in the first quarter, but consistent with our recent guidance for calendar year 2003 (net operating earnings of $1.80-$1.90 per Unit; GAAP net income of $1.72-$1.82 per Unit). Based on recent trends, it appears that earnings will be above the high end of the range,” said Bruce W. Calvert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
