Segment Reporting | 17. Segment Reporting Blackstone conducts its alternative asset management businesses through four segments: • Real Estate – Blackstone’s Real Estate segment primarily comprises its management of opportunistic real estate funds, Core+ real estate funds, and real estate debt strategies. • Private Equity – Blackstone’s Private Equity segment includes its management of flagship Corporate Private Equity funds, sector and geographically-focused Corporate Private Equity funds, core private equity funds, an opportunistic investment platform, a secondary funds business and GP Stakes, infrastructure-focused funds, a life sciences investment platform, a growth equity investment platform, an investment platform offering eligible individual investors access to Blackstone’s private equity capabilities, a multi-asset investment program for eligible high net worth investors and a capital markets services business. • Credit & Insurance – Blackstone’s Credit & Insurance segment consists principally of Blackstone Credit & Insurance, which is organized into three overarching strategies: private corporate credit, liquid corporate credit and infrastructure and asset based credit. In addition, the segment includes an insurer-focused platform. • Multi-Asset Investing – Multi-Asset Investing is organized into two primary platforms: Absolute Return and Multi-Strategy. In addition, the segment also includes a publicly traded energy infrastructure, renewables and master limited partnership investment platform. These business segments are differentiated by their various investment strategies. Each of the segments primarily earns its income from management fees and investment returns on assets under management. Segment Distributable Earnings is Blackstone’s segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and assess performance across Blackstone’s four segments. Segment Distributable Earnings 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 Non-Recurring Non-Recurring non-recurring non-recurring period-to-period For segment reporting purposes, Segment Distributable Earnings is presented along with its major components, Fee Related Earnings and Net Realizations. Fee Related Earnings is 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. Net Realizations is the sum of Realized Principal Investment Income and Realized Performance Revenues less Realized Performance Compensation. Performance Allocations and Incentive Fees are presented together and referred to collectively as Performance Revenues or Performance Compensation. Effective for the three months ended June 30, 2024, GP Stakes is included in Blackstone’s Private Equity segment and Harvest is included in Blackstone’s Multi-Asset Investing segment. Previously, GP Stakes and Harvest were included in Blackstone’s Multi-Asset Investing and Credit & Insurance segments, respectively. All prior periods have been recast to reflect this reclassification.
