The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 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, 2018 . The December 31, 2018 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date. Evercore LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Specifically, the Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore LP and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity while the limited partners have no kick-out or substantive participating rights. The assets and liabilities of Evercore LP represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company with the exception of U.S. corporate taxes and related items, which are presented on the Company's (Parent Company Only) Condensed Statements of Financial Position in Note 24 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Evercore ISI International Limited ("ISI U.K."), Evercore Partners International LLP ("Evercore U.K.") and Evercore (Japan) Ltd. ("Evercore Japan") are also VIEs, and the Company is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. Specifically for ISI U.K. and Evercore Japan (as of January 1, 2019 for Evercore Japan), the Company provides financial support through transfer pricing agreements with these entities, which exposes the Company to losses that are potentially significant to these entities, and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of these entities. The Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore U.K. and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of this entity. The Company included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition ISI U.K., Evercore U.K. and Evercore Japan assets of $161,095 and liabilities of $101,937 at June 30, 2019 and ISI U.K. and Evercore U.K. assets of $190,223 and liabilities of $122,460 at December 31, 2018 . All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company's subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company adopted ASC 842, " Leases " ("ASC 842") on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method of transition. The Company did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients, which does not require reassessment of whether contracts are or contain leases, of lease classification and of initial direct costs. The Company also elected the transition option in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-11, " Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements ," ("ASU 2018-11") to not apply the new lease standard in comparative periods presented in financial statements in the year of adoption. Following the adoption of ASC 842, the Company includes all leases, including short-term leases, on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts for leases for the use of office equipment. Operating leases for office space generally contain payments for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses in addition to rent payments; the Company does not include these as part of the lease component. Following the adoption of ASC 842, the present value of the Company's lease commitments are reflected as long-term assets, within Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets, with corresponding liabilities classified as current and non-current, within Operating Lease Liabilities on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for their lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from these leases. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to certain adjustments for lease incentives and initial direct costs. The lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. Operating lease expense is included in Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (which did not change from the legacy U.S. GAAP presentation). See Notes 3 and 10 for further information.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-02 – In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 supersedes ASC 840, "Leases" ("ASC 840") and includes requirements for the recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which provides an additional transition method to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to Retained Earnings for prior periods as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments in these updates are effective using a modified retrospective approach as of the date of adoption, during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption resulted in the present value of the Company's lease commitments being reflected on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as a long-term asset with a corresponding liability, classified as current and non-current. Right-of-use assets are subject to certain adjustments for lease incentives and initial direct costs. The Company's lease commitments primarily relate to office space, as discussed in Note 10. The impact on the Company's earnings is not materially different from the prior expense related to leases as required under legacy U.S. GAAP, which is primarily reflected in Occupancy and Equipment Rental expense on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations , and there was no impact on the Company's cash flows. The Company recorded lease liabilities of $217,913 on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2019 , along with associated right-of-use assets of $178,241 , which reflect the lease liabilities recognized, subject to certain adjustments for lease incentives and initial direct costs. ASU 2016-13 – In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 provides amendments to ASC 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which amend the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments and adds an impairment model (the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Entities will recognize an allowance for its estimate of expected credit losses as of the end of each reporting period. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted after December 15, 2018. The Company currently uses the specific identification method for establishing credit provisions and write-offs of its trade accounts receivable. The Company anticipates adopting ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update but does not anticipate a material difference between the current method and the CECL model. ASU 2018-02 – In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2018-02"). ASU 2018-02 provides amendments to ASC 220, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income," which allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendments in this update are effective either in the period of adoption or retrospectively, to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized, during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 on January 1, 2019 and did not elect to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. As such, there was no impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2018-07 – In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2018-07"). ASU 2018-07 provides amendments to ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" to align the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees, particularly surrounding the measurement date and impact of performance conditions. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption for liability-classified awards that have not been settled and equity-classified awards for which a measurement date has not been established by the date of adoption, and prospectively for all new awards granted after the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2018-13 – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 provides amendments to ASC 820, " Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), which remove the requirements surrounding the disclosure and policy of transfers between fair value levels and the valuation processes for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, ASU 2018-13 adds disclosure requirements for changes in unrealized gains and losses for Level 3 measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses and unobservable inputs for Level 3 measurements should be applied prospectively, and all other amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2018-17 – In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, "Consolidation (Topic 810) - Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities" ("ASU 2018-17"). ASU 2018-17 provides amendments to ASC 810, " Consolidation " ("ASC 810"), which states that any indirect interest held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be retrospectively applied with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.

Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase	Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase The Company, through Evercore Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V. ("ECB"), enters into repurchase agreements with clients seeking overnight money market returns whereby ECB transfers to the clients Mexican government securities in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. ECB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the securities deliverable to, clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market, which the Company reflects as Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition , or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. The Company accounts for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried at their contract amounts, which approximate fair value given that the contracts mature the following business day. The Company records a liability on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. The Company records as assets on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition , Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities had an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 1.5 years , as of June 30, 2019 , and are pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements. Generally, collateral is posted equal to the contract value at inception and is subject to market changes. These repurchase agreements are primarily with institutional customer accounts managed by ECB and permit the counterparty to pledge the securities. ECB has procedures in place to monitor the daily risk limits for positions taken, as well as the credit risk based on the collateral pledged under these agreements against their contract value from inception to maturity date. The daily risk measure is Value at Risk ("VaR"), which is a statistical measure, at a 98% confidence level, of the potential daily losses from adverse market movements in an ordinary market environment based on a historical simulation using the prior year's historical data. ECB's Risk Management Committee (the "Committee") has established a policy to maintain VaR at levels below 0.1% of the value of the portfolio. If at any point in time the threshold is exceeded, ECB personnel are alerted by an automated interface with ECB's trading systems and begin to make adjustments in the portfolio in order to mitigate the risk and bring the portfolio in compliance. Concurrently, ECB personnel must notify the Committee of the variance and the actions taken to reduce the exposure to loss. In addition to monitoring VaR, ECB periodically performs discrete stress tests ("Stress Tests") to assure that the level of potential losses that would arise from extreme market movements that may not be anticipated by VaR measures are within acceptable levels. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , a summary of the Company's assets, liabilities and collateral received or pledged related to these transactions was as follows: June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Asset (Liability) Balance Market Value of Collateral Received or (Pledged) Asset (Liability) Balance Market Value of Collateral Received or (Pledged) Assets Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value $ 22,798 $ 22,349 Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell 2,975 $ 2,974 2,696 $ 2,701 Total Assets $ 25,773 $ 25,045 Liabilities Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase $ (25,781 ) $ (25,776 ) $ (25,075 ) $ (25,099 )

("Trilantic IV"), Trilantic Capital Partners V, L.P. ("Trilantic V") and Trilantic Capital Partners VI (North America), L.P. ("Trilantic VI"). Portfolio holdings of the private equity funds are carried at fair value. Accordingly, the Company reflects its pro rata share of unrealized gains and losses occurring from changes in fair value. Additionally, the Company reflects its pro rata share of realized gains, losses and carried interest associated with any investment realizations. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company made an investment of $2,642 in Trilantic VI. On December 31, 2014, ECP II was terminated. The Company's investment at June 30, 2019 of $765 is comprised of its remaining interest in the general partner, comprised in cash. A summary of the Company's investments in the private equity funds as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows: June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 ECP II $ 765 $ 795 Glisco II, Glisco III and Glisco IV 3,919 3,880 Trilantic IV, Trilantic V and Trilantic VI 10,412 5,125 Total Private Equity Funds $ 15,096 $ 9,800 Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on private equity fund investments were ($123) and ($127) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and ($204) and $142 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . In the event the funds perform poorly, the Company may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed.

General Partners of Private Equity Funds which are VIEs The Company has concluded that Evercore Partners II, L.L.C. ("EP II L.L.C."), the former general partner of ECP II, is a VIE pursuant to ASC 810. The Company owned 8% - 9% of the carried interest earned by the general partner of ECP II. The Company's assessment of the design of EP II L.L.C. resulted in the determination that the Company is not acting as an agent for other members of the general partner and is a passive holder of interests in the fund, evidenced by the fact that the Company is a non-voting, non-managing member of the general partner and, therefore, has no authority in directing the management operations of the general partner. Furthermore, the Company does not have the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially have a significant impact to EP II L.L.C. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of EP II L.L.C. and has not consolidated EP II L.L.C. in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements . Following the Glisco transaction, the Company concluded that Glisco Capital Partners II, Glisco Capital Partners III and Glisco Manager Holdings LP are VIEs and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary of these entities included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance of these entities and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to the entities, or the right to receive benefits from the entities that could be potentially significant. Neither the Company nor its related parties will have the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Further, as a limited partner in these entities, the Company does not possess substantive participating rights. The Company had assets of $5,108 and $5,445 included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, related to these unconsolidated VIEs, representing the carrying value of the Company's investments in the entities. The Company's exposure to the obligations of these VIEs is generally limited to its investments in these entities. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $7,672 and $8,048 , respectively, which represents the carrying value of the Company's investments in these VIEs, as well as any unfunded commitments to the current and future funds. Investment in Trilantic Capital Partners In 2010, the Company made a limited partnership investment in Trilantic in exchange for 500 Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class A LP Units") having a fair value of $16,090 . This investment gave the Company the right to invest in Trilantic's current and future private equity funds, beginning with Trilantic Fund IV. The Company accounts for this investment at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. The Company allocates the cost of this investment to its investments in current and future Trilantic funds as the Company satisfies the capital calls of these funds. The Company bases this allocation on its expectation of Trilantic's future fundraising ability and performance. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , $147 and $2,642 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund V and VI, respectively. From 2010 to 2018, $4,980 and $1,178 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund V and IV, respectively. This investment had a balance of $7,143 and $9,932 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The Company has a $5,000 commitment to invest in Trilantic Fund V, of which $436 was unfunded at June 30, 2019 . The Company also has a $12,000 commitment to invest in Trilantic Fund VI, of which $9,358 was unfunded at June 30, 2019 . The Company funded $2,642 of this commitment during the six months ended June 30, 2019 . Other Investments In 2015, the Company received an equity security in a private company in exchange for advisory services. This investment is accounted for at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes and had a balance of $1,079 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases Operating Leases – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2034 . The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. The Company does not have any leases with variable lease payments. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes occupancy rental expense relating to operating leases of $12,221 and $23,256 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $10,454 and $20,571 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . In conjunction with the lease of office space, the Company has entered into letters of credit in the amounts of approximately $5,518 and $5,502 , which are secured by cash that is included in Other Assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The Company has entered into various operating leases for the use of office equipment (primarily computers, printers, copiers and other IT related equipment). Rental expense for office equipment totaled $1,004 and $1,927 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $799 and $1,259 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . Rental expense for office equipment is included in Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations . The Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The determination of an appropriate incremental borrowing rate requires significant assumptions and judgment. The Company's incremental borrowing rate was calculated based on the Company's recent debt issuances and current market conditions. The Company scales the rates appropriately depending on the life of the leases. The Company incurred net operating cash outflows of $8,485 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 related to its operating leases, which were net of cash received from lease incentives of $10,062 . Upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded Right-of-Use Assets on its statement of financial condition of $180,935 .

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements ASC 820 establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities, listed derivatives and treasury bills. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price. Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The estimated fair values of the Corporate Bonds, Municipal Bonds, Other Debt Securities and Securities Investments held at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are based on prices provided by external pricing services. Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The following table presents the categorization of investments and certain other financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 : June 30, 2019 Level I Level II Level III Total Corporate Bonds, Municipal Bonds and Other Debt Securities (1) $ 106,378 $ 68,652 $ — $ 175,030 Securities Investments (2) 6,424 2,113 — 8,537 Investment Funds 64,916 — — 64,916 Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value 22,798 — — 22,798 Total Assets Measured At Fair Value $ 200,516 $ 70,765 $ — $ 271,281 December 31, 2018 Level I Level II Level III Total Corporate Bonds, Municipal Bonds and Other Debt Securities (1) $ 109,577 $ 62,801 $ — $ 172,378 Securities Investments (2) 6,232 1,982 — 8,214 Investment Funds 54,776 — — 54,776 Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value 22,349 — — 22,349 Total Assets Measured At Fair Value $ 192,934 $ 64,783 $ — $ 257,717 (1) Includes $25,313 and $24,415 of treasury bills, municipal bonds and commercial paper classified within Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. (2) Includes $6,121 and $6,326 of treasury bills and notes and municipal bonds classified within Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. The Company had no transfers between fair value levels during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018 . The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's financial instrument assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition , are listed in the tables below.

Common Shareholders The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are described and presented below. For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Basic Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Inc.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Class J LP Units were dilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been included in the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders under the if-converted method. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all Class J LP Units are converted into Class A Shares. (b) The Company also has outstanding Class A and E LP Units in Evercore LP, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one -for-one basis. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Class A and E LP Units were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the denominator of the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 5,312 and 5,201 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and 5,132 and 5,179 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . The adjustment to the numerator, diluted net income attributable to Class A common shareholders, if the effect would have been dilutive, would have been $11,021 and $19,191 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $9,114 and $20,459 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested Class A LP Units and all Class E LP Units are converted into Class A Shares, that all earnings attributable to those shares are attributed to Evercore Inc. and that the Company is subject to the statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional corporate tax structure in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the Class A and E LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods. (c) The Company has outstanding Class I-P units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units"), and ultimately Class A Shares, and outstanding Class K-P units of Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class K limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class K LP Units"), and ultimately Class A Shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders, the Company's Class I-P and Class K-P Units are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding as of the beginning of the period in which all necessary performance conditions have been satisfied. If all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of shares that are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding is based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period. The Units that were assumed to be converted to an equal number of Class A Shares for purposes of computing diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders were 400 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The shares of Class B common stock have no right to receive dividends or a distribution on liquidation or winding up of the Company. The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of the Company and no earnings are allocable to such class. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share-Based and Other Deferred Compensation	Share-Based and Other Deferred Compensation LP Units Equities business - In conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of International Strategy & Investment ("ISI") in 2014, the Company issued Evercore LP units and interests which have been treated as compensation. In July 2017, the Company exchanged all of the previously outstanding 4,148 Class H limited partnership interests of Evercore LP ("Class H LP Interests") for 1,012 vested ( 963 of which were subject to certain liquidated damages and continued employment provisions) and 938 unvested Class J LP Units. These units convert into an equal amount of Class E LP Units, and become exchangeable into Class A Shares of the Company, ratably on February 15, 2018, 2019 and 2020. These Class J LP Units have the same vesting and delivery schedule, acceleration and forfeiture triggers, and distribution rights as the Class H LP Interests. In connection with this exchange, one share of Class B common stock has been issued to each holder of Class J LP Units, which entitles each holder to one vote on all matters submitted generally to holders of Class A and Class B common stock for each Class E LP Unit and Class J LP Unit held. As the number of Class J LP Units exchanged was within the number of Class H LP Interests that the Company determined were probable of being exchanged on the date of modification, the Company is expensing the previously unrecognized grant date fair value of the Class H LP Interests ratably over the remaining vesting period of the Class J LP Units. Compensation expense related to the Class J LP Units was $3,700 and $7,749 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $3,700 and $7,572 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . On February 15, 2019, 632 Class J LP Units vested and were converted to an equal amount of Class E LP Units. Othe r Performance-based Awards - In November 2016, the Company issued 400 Class I-P Units in conjunction with the appointment of the Executive Chairman. These Class I-P Units convert into a specified number of Class I LP Units, which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares, contingent on the achievement of certain market and service conditions, subject to vesting upon specified termination events (including retirement, upon satisfying certain eligibility criteria, on or following January 15, 2022, subject to a one year prior written notice requirement) or a change in control. These Class I-P Units are segregated into two groups of 200 units each, with share price threshold vesting conditions which are required to exceed a certain level for 20 consecutive trading days (which were met as of March 31, 2017). The Company determined the fair value of the award to be $24,412 and is expensing the award ratably over the implied service period, which ends on March 1, 2022. As the award contains market-based conditions, the entire expense will be recognized if the award does not vest for any reason other than the service conditions. Compensation expense related to this award was $1,152 and $2,291 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In November 2017, the Company issued 64 Class K-P Units to an employee of the Company. These Class K-P Units convert into a specified number of Class K LP Units, which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares, contingent upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results and continued service through December 31, 2021. An additional 16 Class K-P Units may be issued contingent upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results and continued service through December 31, 2021. The Company determined the fair value of the award probable to vest as of June 30, 2019 to be $5,000 and records expense for these units over the service period. In June 2019, the Company issued 220 Class K-P Units to an employee of the Company. These Class K-P Units convert into a number of Class K LP Units, which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares, contingent and based upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results and continued service through February 4, 2023 for the first tranche, which consists of 120 Class K-P Units convertible into a number of Class K LP Units, and February 4, 2028 for the second tranche, which consists of 100 Class K-P Units convertible into a number of Class K LP Units. The Company determined the fair value of the award probable to vest as of June 30, 2019 to be $5,771 and records expense for these units over the service period. Compensation expense related to the Class K-P Units was $338 and $634 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $299 and $595 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . Stock Incentive Plan During 2016, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"). The 2016 Plan, among other things, authorizes an additional 10,000 shares of the Company's Class A Shares. The 2016 Plan permits the Company to grant to key employees, directors and consultants incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and other awards based on the Company's Class A Shares. The Company intends to use newly-issued Class A Shares to satisfy any awards under the 2016 Plan and its predecessor plan. Class A Shares underlying any award granted under the 2016 Plan that expire, terminate or are canceled or satisfied for any reason without being settled in stock again become available for awards under the plans. The total shares available to be granted in the future under the 2016 Plan was 2,872 and 5,399 as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively . The Company also grants, at its discretion, dividend equivalents, in the form of unvested RSU awards, or deferred cash dividends, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A Shares, on all unvested RSU grants awarded in conjunction with annual bonuses, as well as new hire awards. The dividend equivalents have the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSU award. The Company estimates forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of its awards. The Company periodically monitors its estimated forfeiture rate and adjusts its assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative adjustment in the period of the change. Equity Grants During the six months ended June 30, 2019, pursuant to the 2016 Plan, the Company granted employees 2,526 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. Service-based Awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019 had grant date fair values of $72.11 to $96.22 per share, with an average value of $91.34 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, 2,346 Service-based Awards vested and 49 Service-based Awards were forfeited. Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards, including RSUs granted to the Executive Chairman in November 2016, was $56,526 and $112,144 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $46,375 and $89,106 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . Deferred Cash The Company's deferred cash compensation program provides participants the ability to elect to receive a portion of their deferred compensation in cash, which is indexed to notional investment portfolios selected by the participant and vests ratably over four years and requires payment upon vesting. The Company granted $93,366 of deferred cash awards pursuant to the deferred cash compensation program during the first quarter of 2019. In November 2016, the Company granted a restricted cash award in conjunction with the appointment of the Executive Chairman with a target payment amount of $35,000 , of which $11,000 vested on March 1, 2019 and $6,000 is scheduled to vest on each of the first four anniversaries of March 1, 2019, provided that the Executive Chairman continues to remain employed through each such vesting date, subject to vesting upon specified termination events (including retirement, upon satisfying certain eligibility criteria, on or following May 1, 2019, subject to a six month prior written notice requirement) or a change in control. The Company has the discretion to increase (by an amount up to $35,000 ) or decrease (by an amount up to $8,750 ) the total amount payable under this award. In 2017, the Company granted deferred cash awards of $29,500 to certain employees. These awards vest in five equal installments over the period ending June 30, 2022, subject to continued employment. The Company records expense for these awards ratably over the vesting period. Compensation expense related to deferred cash awards was $25,375 and $52,768 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $15,750 and $28,341 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . Long-term Incentive Plan The Company's Long-term Incentive Plan provides for incentive compensation awards to Advisory Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers of the Company, who exceed defined benchmark results over four -year performance periods beginning January 1, 2013 (the "2013 Long-term Incentive Plan") and January 1, 2017 (the "2017 Long-term Incentive Plan"). The 2013 Long-term Incentive Plan was paid in cash in installments in 2017, 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. The 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan, which aggregates $82,021 of long-term liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2019, is due to be paid, in cash or Class A Shares, at the Company's discretion, in three equal installments in the first quarter of 2021, 2022 and 2023, subject to employment at the time of payment. These awards are subject to retirement eligibility requirements. The Company periodically assesses the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expenses the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award. The compensation expense related to these awards was $8,216 and $16,626 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $6,948 and $14,075 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . In conjunction with this plan, the Company distributed cash payments of $19,516 and $4,532 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively . As of June 30, 2019, for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan, based on the Company's current assessment of the probability of the level of benchmarks being achieved, the total remaining expense to be accrued for this plan over the future vesting period ending March 15, 2023 is $77,933 . Employee Loans Receivable Periodically, the Company provides new and existing employees with cash payments in the form of loans and/or other cash awards which are subject to ratable vesting terms with service requirements ranging from one to five years and in certain circumstances, subject to the achievement of performance requirements. Generally, the terms of these awards include a requirement of either full or partial repayment of these awards based on the terms of their employment agreements with the Company. In circumstances where the employee meets the Company's minimum credit standards, the Company amortizes these awards to compensation expense over the relevant service period which is generally the period they are subject to forfeiture. Compensation expense related to these awards was $5,741 and $9,346 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $4,787 and $8,109 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively .

In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings (including the matter described below), individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450, " Contingencies" ("ASC 450") when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change. Beginning on or about November 16, 2016, several putative securities class action complaints were filed against Adeptus Health Inc. ("Adeptus") and certain others, including EGL as underwriter, in connection with Adeptus' June 2014 initial public offering and May 2015, July 2015 and June 2016 secondary public offerings. The cases were consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas where a consolidated complaint was filed asserting, in part, that the offering materials issued in connection with the four public offerings violated the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 by containing alleged misstatements and omissions. On April 19, 2017, Adeptus filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and was subsequently removed as a defendant. On November 21, 2017, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint, and the defendants filed motions to dismiss on February 5, 2018. On September 12, 2018, the defendants' motions to dismiss were granted as to the claims relating to the initial public offering and the May 2015 secondary public offering, but denied as to the claims relating to the July 2015 and June 2016 secondary public offerings. EGL underwrote approximately 293 shares of common stock in the July 2015 secondary public offering, representing an aggregate offering price of approximately $30.8 million, but did not underwrite any shares in the June 2016 secondary public offering. On September 25, 2018, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint relating only to the July 2015 and June 2016 secondary public offerings. On December 7, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, and the defendants filed briefs in opposition. On February 16, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint after having been granted leave to amend by the court. On March 4, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss as to the second amended complaint.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company's Provision for Income Taxes was $32,030 and $39,851 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $25,541 and $30,479 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . The effective tax rate was 25% and 19% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and 24% and 14% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . The effective tax rate reflects net excess tax benefits associated with the appreciation or depreciation in the Company's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price of $12,130 and $22,222 being recognized in the Company's Provision for Income Taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and resulted in a reduction in the effective tax rate of 6 and 10 percentage points for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2019 and 2018 also reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including expenses related to Class E and J LP Units and Class I-P and K-P LP Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments. Additionally, the Company expects to recognize the income tax effects associated with the new global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions in the period incurred. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , no additional income tax expense associated with the GILTI provisions has been reported and it is not expected to be material to the Company’s effective tax rate for the year. The Company reported an increase in deferred tax assets of $205 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and an increase of $262 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 . The Company reported an increase in deferred tax assets of $130 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and an increase of $1,108 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2019 , there was $615 of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, $501 would affect the effective tax rate. The Company anticipates approximately $122 of unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized within the year, as a result of the lapse in the statute of limitations. The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations . Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company accrued interest and penalties of $184 and $11 , respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The Company expects to reverse interest and penalty charges of $38 and $3 as a lapse in the statute of limitations within the year.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation, Policy	Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 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, 2018 . The December 31, 2018 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date. Evercore LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Specifically, the Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore LP and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity while the limited partners have no kick-out or substantive participating rights. The assets and liabilities of Evercore LP represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company with the exception of U.S. corporate taxes and related items, which are presented on the Company's (Parent Company Only) Condensed Statements of Financial Position in Note 24 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Evercore ISI International Limited ("ISI U.K."), Evercore Partners International LLP ("Evercore U.K.") and Evercore (Japan) Ltd. ("Evercore Japan") are also VIEs, and the Company is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. Specifically for ISI U.K. and Evercore Japan (as of January 1, 2019 for Evercore Japan), the Company provides financial support through transfer pricing agreements with these entities, which exposes the Company to losses that are potentially significant to these entities, and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of these entities. The Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore U.K. and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of this entity. The Company included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition ISI U.K., Evercore U.K. and Evercore Japan assets of $161,095 and liabilities of $101,937 at June 30, 2019 and ISI U.K. and Evercore U.K. assets of $190,223 and liabilities of $122,460 at December 31, 2018 . All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company's subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Leases, Policy	The Company adopted ASC 842, " Leases " ("ASC 842") on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method of transition. The Company did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients, which does not require reassessment of whether contracts are or contain leases, of lease classification and of initial direct costs. The Company also elected the transition option in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-11, " Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements ," ("ASU 2018-11") to not apply the new lease standard in comparative periods presented in financial statements in the year of adoption. Following the adoption of ASC 842, the Company includes all leases, including short-term leases, on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts for leases for the use of office equipment. Operating leases for office space generally contain payments for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses in addition to rent payments; the Company does not include these as part of the lease component. Following the adoption of ASC 842, the present value of the Company's lease commitments are reflected as long-term assets, within Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets, with corresponding liabilities classified as current and non-current, within Operating Lease Liabilities on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for their lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from these leases. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to certain adjustments for lease incentives and initial direct costs. The lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. Operating lease expense is included in Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (which did not change from the legacy U.S. GAAP presentation). See Notes 3 and 10 for further information.

Schedule of Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share	The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are described and presented below. For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Basic Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Inc. Common Shareholders Numerator: Net income attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 81,742 $ 68,931 $ 148,974 $ 164,474 Denominator: Weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, including vested RSUs 40,546 40,889 40,522 40,653 Basic net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 2.02 $ 1.69 $ 3.68 $ 4.05 Diluted Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Inc. Common Shareholders Numerator: Net income attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 81,742 $ 68,931 $ 148,974 $ 164,474 Noncontrolling interest related to the assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares (b) (b) (b) (b) Associated corporate taxes related to the assumed elimination of Noncontrolling Interest described above (b) (b) (b) (b) Diluted net income attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 81,742 $ 68,931 $ 148,974 $ 164,474 Denominator: Weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, including vested RSUs 40,546 40,889 40,522 40,653 Assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares (a)(b) 648 1,297 810 1,459 Additional shares of the Company's common stock assumed to be issued pursuant to non-vested RSUs and deferred consideration, as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method 1,782 2,713 2,034 2,865 Shares that are contingently issuable (c) 400 400 400 400 Diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding 43,376 45,299 43,766 45,377 Diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 1.88 $ 1.52 $ 3.40 $ 3.62 (a) The Company has outstanding Class J limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class J LP Units"), which convert into Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units") and ultimately become exchangeable into Class A Shares on a one -for-one basis. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Class J LP Units were dilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been included in the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders under the if-converted method. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all Class J LP Units are converted into Class A Shares. (b) The Company also has outstanding Class A and E LP Units in Evercore LP, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one -for-one basis. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Class A and E LP Units were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the denominator of the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 5,312 and 5,201 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and 5,132 and 5,179 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . The adjustment to the numerator, diluted net income attributable to Class A common shareholders, if the effect would have been dilutive, would have been $11,021 and $19,191 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $9,114 and $20,459 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively . In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested Class A LP Units and all Class E LP Units are converted into Class A Shares, that all earnings attributable to those shares are attributed to Evercore Inc. and that the Company is subject to the statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional corporate tax structure in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the Class A and E LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods. (c) The Company has outstanding Class I-P units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units"), and ultimately Class A Shares, and outstanding Class K-P units of Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class K limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class K LP Units"), and ultimately Class A Shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders, the Company's Class I-P and Class K-P Units are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding as of the beginning of the period in which all necessary performance conditions have been satisfied. If all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of shares that are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding is based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period. The Units that were assumed to be converted to an equal number of Class A Shares for purposes of computing diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders were 400 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
