INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE AND NET ACCRUED PERFORMANCE REVENUES

§ Strong appreciation across strategies led to a 23% increase in Net Accrued Performance Revenues quarter-over-
quarter to $8.3 billion ($6.90/share).

Investment Performance

Net Accrued Performance Revenues

($ in millions)

Investment Performance represents fund appreciation for Real Estate and Private Equity and gross returns for Hedge Fund Solutions and Credit & Insurance. Secondaries appreciation is reported on a three-month lag from the fund financial reporting. Effective 3Q’21, the Secondaries fund financial reporting process was updated to generally report underlying fund investments on a same-quarter basis, if available. Previously such fund financial reporting was generally on a three-month lag. This update has permitted Secondaries appreciation to be reported on a more current basis. Secondaries appreciation is presented above as if the updated reporting process was in place for prior periods. Including the “catch up” from the reporting process change to reflect the economic and market activity of two quarters in 3Q’21 and five quarters in 3Q’21 LTM, Secondaries appreciation was 24.6% and 65.1% for 3Q’21 and 3Q’21 LTM, respectively. BPS Composite net returns were 1.1% and 12.2% for 3Q’21 and 3Q’21 LTM, respectively. Private Credit net returns were 2.8% and 18.6% for 3Q’21 and 3Q’21 LTM, respectively. Liquid Credit net returns were 1.0% and 8.1% for 3Q’21 and 3Q’21 LTM, respectively. See notes on page 32 for additional details on investment performance.   Blackstone | 5

INVESTMENT RECORDS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 – NOTES

The returns presented herein represent those of the applicable Blackstone Funds and not those of Blackstone Inc.

n/m Not meaningful generally due to the limited time since initial investment.

n/a Not applicable.

(a) Excludes investment vehicles where Blackstone does not earn fees.

(b) Available Capital represents total investable capital commitments, including side-by-side, adjusted for certain expenses and expired or recallable capital and may include leverage, less invested capital. This amount is not reduced by outstanding commitments to investments.

(c) Multiple of Invested Capital (“MOIC”) represents carrying value, before management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues, divided by invested capital.

(d) Unless otherwise indicated, Net Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) represents the annualized inception to September 30, 2021 IRR on total invested capital based on realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues. IRRs are calculated using actual timing of limited partner cash flows. Initial inception date of cash flows may differ from the Investment Period Beginning Date.

(e) The 8% Realized Net IRR and 8% Total Net IRR exclude investors that opted out of the Hilton investment opportunity. Overall BREP International II performance reflects a 7% Realized Net IRR and a 7% Total Net IRR.

(f) BREP Co-Investment represents co-investment capital raised for various BREP investments. The Net IRR reflected is calculated by aggregating each co-investment’s realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues.

(g) BPP represents the Core+ real estate funds which invest with a more modest risk profile and lower leverage. Committed Capital and Available Capital are not regularly reported to investors in our Core+ strategy and are not applicable in the context of these funds.

(h) Unrealized Investment Value reflects BREIT’s net asset value as of September 30, 2021. Realized Investment Value represents BREIT’s cash distributions, net of servicing fees. The BREIT net return reflects a per share blended return, assuming BREIT had a single share class, reinvestment of all dividends received during the period, and no upfront selling commission, net of all fees and expenses incurred by BREIT. These returns are not representative of the returns experienced by any particular investor or share class. Inception to date net returns are presented on an annualized basis and are from January 1, 2017. Committed Capital and Available Capital are not regularly reported to investors in our Core+ strategy and are not applicable in the context of this vehicle.

(i) BREDS High-Yield represents the flagship real estate debt drawdown funds only.

(j) Blackstone Core Equity Partners is a core private equity strategy which invests with a more modest risk profile and longer hold period than traditional private equity.

(k) Realizations are treated as return of capital until fully recovered and therefore unrealized and realized MOICs are not applicable. Returns are calculated from results that are reported on a three-month lag from the fund financial statements and therefore do not include the impact of economic and market activities in the current quarter.

(l) Funds presented represent the flagship credit drawdown funds only. The Total Credit Net IRR is the combined IRR of the credit drawdown funds presented.

(m) Unrealized Investment Value reflects Blackstone Secured Lending Fund’s (“BXSL”) net asset value as of September 30, 2021. Realized Investment Value represents BXSL’s cash distributions. BXSL’s net return is annualized and calculated since inception starting on November 20, 2018, as the change in NAV per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan) divided by the beginning NAV per share. Does not currently include Blackstone Private Credit Fund (“BCRED”), a continuously offered non-traded BDC.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES – NOTES

Note:    See pages 34-36, Definitions and Dividend Policy.

(a) This adjustment removes Transaction-Related Charges, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. Transaction-Related Charges arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, and Blackstone’s initial public offering. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs and any gains or losses associated with these corporate actions.

(b) This adjustment removes the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. This amount includes amortization of intangibles associated with Blackstone’s investment in Pátria, which was historically accounted for under the equity method. As a result of Pátria’s IPO in January 2021, equity method has been discontinued and there will no longer be amortization of intangibles associated with the investment.

(c) This adjustment reverses the effect of consolidating Blackstone Funds, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. This adjustment includes the elimination of Blackstone’s interest in these funds and the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated operating partnerships held by non-controlling interests.

(d) This adjustment removes Unrealized Performance Revenues on a segment basis. The Segment Adjustment represents the add back of performance revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.

This analysis reconciles the components of Total Segment Distributable Earnings (page 3) to their equivalent GAAP measures, reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations (page 1). Segment basis presents revenues and expenses on a basis that deconsolidates the investment funds Blackstone manages and excludes the amortization of intangibles, the expense of equity-based awards and Transaction-Related Charges.

(a) Represents (1) the add back of net management fees earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of revenue from the reimbursement of certain expenses by the Blackstone Funds, which are presented gross under GAAP but netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in the Total Segment measures.

(b) Represents the add back of Performance Revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c) Represents the removal of Transaction-Related Charges that are not recorded in the Total Segment measures.

(d) Represents the removal of (1) the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, and (2) certain expenses reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds, which are presented gross under GAAP but netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in the Total Segment measures. Beginning in 3Q’20, includes a reduction equal to an administrative fee collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units which is accounted for as a capital contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in Blackstone’s segment presentation.

(e) Represents (1) the add back of Principal Investment Income, including general partner income, earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated operating partnerships held by non-controlling interests.

(f) Represents (1) the add back of Interest and Dividend Revenue earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.

NOTES

Notes to page 1 - Blackstone’s Third Quarter 2021 GAAP Results

§ Effective February 26, 2021, Blackstone effectuated changes to rename its Class A common stock as “common stock,” and to reclassify its Class B and Class C common stock into a new “Series I preferred stock” and “Series II preferred stock,” respectively (the “share reclassification”). Each new stock has the same rights and powers of its predecessor. All references to common stock, Series I preferred stock and Series II preferred stock prior to the share reclassification refer to Class A, Class B and Class C common stock, respectively.

§ Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes Margin is calculated by dividing Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes by Total Revenues.

Notes to page 2 - Blackstone’s Third Quarter 2021 Highlights

§ The changes in carrying value, fund returns and composite returns presented throughout this presentation represent those of the applicable Blackstone Funds and not those of Blackstone.

Notes to page 5 - Investment Performance and Net Accrued Performance Revenues

§ Core+ appreciation represents a weighted average of BREIT’s per share appreciation and BPP appreciation for the period. The returns are weighted based on the average of BREIT’s monthly net asset values and the average of BPP’s quarterly adjusted beginning period market values for the period.

§ Results for the Secondaries business (also referred to as Strategic Partners) are reported on a three-month lag from the Secondaries’ fund financial statements, which generally report underlying investments on a same-quarter basis, if available. As a result, the appreciation presented herein does not include the impact of economic and market activity in the current quarter. Current market activity is expected to affect reported results in upcoming quarters.

§ The BPS Composite gross and net returns are based on the BAAM Principal Solutions (“BPS”) Composite, which includes only BAAM-managed commingled and customized multi-manager funds and accounts and does not include BAAM’s individual investor solutions (liquid alternatives), strategic capital (seeding and GP minority stakes), strategic opportunities (co-invests), and advisory (non-discretionary) platforms, except for investments by BPS funds directly into those platforms. BAAM-managed funds in liquidation and, in the case of net returns, non fee-paying assets are also excluded. The funds/accounts that comprise the BPS Composite are not managed within a single fund or account and are managed with different mandates. There is no guarantee that BAAM would have made the same mix of investments in a stand-alone fund/account. The BPS Composite is not an investible product and, as such, the performance of the BPS Composite does not represent the performance of an actual fund or account.

§ Effective 1Q’21, Credit returns are presented as separate returns for Private Credit and Liquid Credit instead of as a Credit Composite. Private Credit returns include mezzanine lending funds and middle market direct lending funds (including BXSL and BCRED), stressed/distressed strategies (including stressed/distressed funds and credit alpha strategies) and energy strategies. Liquid Credit returns include CLOs, closed-ended funds, open-ended funds and separately managed accounts. Only fee-earning funds exceeding $100 million of fair value at the beginning of each respective quarter-end are included. Funds in liquidation, funds investing primarily in investment grade corporate credit and our structured products group are excluded. Blackstone Funds that were contributed to Blackstone Credit as part of Blackstone’s acquisition of Blackstone Credit, formerly known as GSO, in March 2008 and the pre-acquisition date performance for funds and vehicles acquired by Blackstone Credit subsequent to March 2008, are also excluded.

NOTES – (CONT’D)

Notes to page 16 – Assets Under Management - Rollforward

§ In 4Q’20, the methodology for Total AUM was updated with respect to the relevant segment for certain real estate, secondaries and credit funds to include permanent fund level leverage (as this represents additional capital the fund is managing), to include uncalled capital commitments until they are legally expired and to exclude certain uncalled capital commitments where the investors have complete discretion over investment. In 2Q’21, the methodology for Total AUM was further updated to exclude permanent fund level leverage where the intended use is not for investing purposes. These methodology changes resulted in a one-time adjustment to the LTM market activity of $2.0 billion, $1.9 billion, and $(1.5) billion for Real Estate, Private Equity, and Credit & Insurance, respectively. Funds without an adjustment were either already applying that methodology in reporting Total AUM or the updates were not applicable.

§ Subsequent to 4Q’20, increases/decreases in permanent fund level leverage included in Total AUM and uncalled capital commitments that have not legally expired where investors do not have complete discretion over investment for the aforementioned funds will be reflected as inflows, outflows, realizations and/or market activity, as the case may be.

Notes to page 17 – Deconsolidated Balance Sheet Highlights

§ GP/Fund Investments include Blackstone investments in Real Estate, Private Equity, Hedge Fund Solutions, and Credit & Insurance, which were $663 million, $793 million, $174 million, and $215 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2021. Cash and Net Investments per share amounts are calculated using period end DE Shares Outstanding (see page 23, Share Summary).

Notes to page 22 – Shareholder Dividends

§ DE before Certain Payables represents Distributable Earnings before the deduction for the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and tax expense (benefit) of wholly owned subsidiaries. Common shareholders receive tax benefits from deductions taken by Blackstone’s corporate tax paying subsidiaries and bear responsibility for the deduction from Distributable Earnings of the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and certain other tax-related payables.

§ Per Share calculations are based on end of period Participating Common Shares (page 23, Share Summary); actual dividends are paid to shareholders as of the applicable record date.

§ Retained capital is withheld pro rata from common shareholders and Blackstone Holdings Partnership unitholders. Common shareholders’ share was $137 million for 3Q’21 and $323 million for 3Q’21 YTD.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY

Blackstone discloses the following operating metrics and financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“non-GAAP”) in this presentation:

§ Segment Distributable Earnings, or “Segment DE”, is Blackstone’s segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and assess performance across Blackstone’s four segments. Segment DE represents the net realized earnings of Blackstone’s segments and is the sum of Fee Related Earnings and Net Realizations for each segment. Blackstone’s segments are presented on a basis that deconsolidates Blackstone Funds, eliminates non-controlling ownership interests in Blackstone’s consolidated operating partnerships, removes the amortization of intangible assets and removes Transaction-Related Charges. Segment DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

– Net Realizations is presented on a segment basis and is the sum of Realized Principal Investment Income and Realized Performance Revenues (which refers to Realized Performance Revenues excluding Fee Related Performance Revenues), less Realized Performance Compensation (which refers to Realized Performance Compensation excluding Fee Related Performance Compensation and Equity-Based Performance Compensation).

– Total Segment Revenues and Segment Revenues represent Net Management and Advisory Fees, Fee Related Performance Revenues, Realized Performance Revenues and Realized Principal Investment Income.

§ Distributable Earnings, or “DE”, is derived from Blackstone’s segment reported results. DE is used to assess performance and amounts available for dividends to Blackstone shareholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the Blackstone Holdings Partnerships. DE is the sum of Segment DE plus Net Interest and Dividend Income (Loss) less Taxes and Related Payables. DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

– Net Interest and Dividend Income (Loss) is presented on a segment basis and is equal to Interest and Dividend Revenue less Interest Expense, adjusted for the impact of consolidation of Blackstone Funds, and interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.

– Taxes and Related Payables represent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and including the Payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Further, the current tax provision utilized when calculating Taxes and Related Payables and DE reflects the benefit of deductions available to the company on certain expense items that are excluded from the underlying calculation of Segment DE and Total Segment Distributable Earnings, such as equity-based compensation charges and certain Transaction-Related Charges where there is a current tax provision or benefit. The economic assumptions and methodologies that impact the implied income tax provision are the same as those methodologies and assumptions used in calculating the current income tax provision for Blackstone’s consolidated statements of operations under U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of divestitures and accrued tax contingencies and refunds which are reflected when paid or received. Management believes that including the amount payable under the tax receivable agreement and utilizing the current income tax provision adjusted as described above when calculating DE is meaningful as it increases comparability between periods and more accurately reflects earnings that are available for distribution to shareholders.

§ Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”, is a performance measure used to assess Blackstone’s ability to generate profits from revenues that are measured and received on a recurring basis and not subject to future realization events. FRE equals management and advisory fees (net of management fee reductions and offsets) plus Fee Related Performance Revenues, less (a) Fee Related Compensation on a segment basis, and (b) Other Operating Expenses. FRE is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY – (CONT’D)

– Fee Related Compensation is presented on a segment basis and refers to the compensation expense, excluding Equity-Based Compensation, directly related to (a) Management and Advisory Fees, Net and (b) Fee Related Performance Revenues, referred to as Fee Related Performance Compensation.

– Fee Related Performance Revenues refers to the realized portion of Performance Revenues from Perpetual Capital that are (a) measured and received on a recurring basis, and (b) not dependent on realization events from the underlying investments.

– Other Operating Expenses is presented on a segment basis and is equal to General, Administrative and Other Expenses, adjusted to (a) remove the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, (b) remove certain expenses reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds which are netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in Blackstone’s segment presentation, and (c) give effect to an administrative fee collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units. The administrative fee is accounted for as a capital contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in Blackstone’s segment presentation.

– Perpetual Capital refers to the component of assets under management with an indefinite term, that is not in liquidation, and for which there is no requirement to return capital to investors through redemption requests in the ordinary course of business, except where funded by new capital inflows. Includes co-investment capital with an investor right to convert into Perpetual Capital.

§ Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or “Adjusted EBITDA”, is a supplemental measure used to assess performance derived from Blackstone’s segment results and may be used to assess its ability to service its borrowings. Adjusted EBITDA represents Distributable Earnings plus the addition of (a) Interest Expense on a segment basis, (b) Taxes and Related Payables, and (c) Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

§ Performance Revenues collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fees, and (b) Performance Allocations.

§ Performance Compensation collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fee Compensation, and (b) Performance Allocations Compensation.

– Performance Compensation reflects an increase in the aggregate Realized Performance Compensation paid to certain of our professionals above the amounts allocable to them based upon the percentage participation in the relevant performance plans previously awarded to them as a result of a new compensation program that commenced in 2Q’21. Fee Related Compensation was decreased by a corresponding amount. These changes to Performance Compensation and Fee Related Compensation had no impact to Distributable Earnings.

§ Transaction-Related Charges arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, and Blackstone’s initial public offering. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs and any gains or losses associated with these corporate actions.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY – (CONT’D)

Dividend Policy. Blackstone’s intention is to pay to holders of common stock a quarterly dividend representing approximately 85% of Blackstone Inc.’s share of Distributable Earnings, subject to adjustment by amounts determined by Blackstone’s board of directors to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and funds, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt instruments or other agreements, or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and dividends to shareholders for any ensuing quarter. The dividend amount could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. All of the foregoing is subject to the qualification that the declaration and payment of any dividends are at the sole discretion of Blackstone’s board of directors and our board of directors may change our dividend policy at any time, including, without limitation, to reduce such quarterly dividends or even to eliminate such dividends entirely.
