FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our future results of operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,”“approximately,”“believe,”“continue,”“could,”“estimate,”“expect,”“intend,”“may,”“outlook,”“plan,”“potential,”“predict,”“seek,”“should,”“will” and “would” or the negative version of these words or other comparable or similar words. These statements identify prospective information. Important factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in these statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity, including, but not limited to, changes in our anticipated revenue and income, which are inherently volatile; changes in the value of our investments; the pace of our raising of new funds; changes in assets under management; the timing and receipt of, and impact of taxes on, carried interest; distributions from and liquidation of our existing funds; the amount and timing of distributions on our Class A units; changes in our operating or other expenses; the degree to which we encounter competition; and general economic and market conditions. The factors listed in the item captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2015 (“annual report”), which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in our forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

In this quarterly report, unless the context otherwise requires:

“Oaktree,” “OCG,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “our company” refers to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and, where applicable, its subsidiaries and affiliates.

“Oaktree Operating Group,” or “Operating Group,” refers collectively to the entities in which we have a minority economic interest and indirect control that either (i) act as or control the general partners and investment advisers of our funds or (ii) hold interests in other entities or investments generating income for us.

“OCGH” refers to Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which holds an interest in the Oaktree Operating Group and all of our Class B units.

“OCGH unitholders” refers collectively to our senior executives, current and former employees and certain other investors who hold their interest in the Oaktree Operating Group through OCGH.

“2007 Private Offering” refers to the sale completed on May 25, 2007 of 23,000,000 of our Class A units to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in the Securities Act) in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Prior to our initial public offering, these Class A units traded on a private over-the-counter market developed by Goldman, Sachs & Co. for tradable unregistered equity securities.

“assets under management,” or “AUM,” generally refers to the assets we manage and equals the NAV (as defined below) of the assets we manage, the fund-level leverage on which management fees are charged, the undrawn capital that we are entitled to call from investors in our funds pursuant to their capital commitments, and the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by our collateralized loan obligation vehicles (“CLOs”). Our AUM amounts include AUM for which we charge no fees. Our definition of AUM is not based on any definition contained in our operating agreement or the agreements governing the funds that we manage. Our calculation of AUM and the two AUM-related metrics described below may not be directly comparable to the AUM metrics of other investment managers.

• “management fee-generating assets under management,” or “management fee-generating AUM,” is a forward-looking metric and reflects the AUM on which we will earn management fees in the following quarter, as more fully described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment and Operating Metrics—Assets Under Management—Management Fee-generating Assets Under Management.”

• “incentive-creating assets under management,” or “incentive-creating AUM,” refers to the AUM that may eventually produce incentive income, as more fully described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment and Operating Metrics—Assets Under Management—Incentive-creating Assets Under Management.”

“consolidated funds” refers to the funds and CLOs that Oaktree consolidates through a majority voting interest or otherwise, including those funds in which Oaktree as the general partner is presumed to have control.

“funds” refers to investment funds and, where applicable, CLOs and separate accounts that are managed by us or our subsidiaries.

“initial public offering” refers to the listing of our Class A units on the New York Stock Exchange on April 12, 2012 whereby Oaktree sold 7,888,864 Class A units and selling unitholders sold 954,159 Class A units, as more fully described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Initial Public Offering” in our annual report.

“Intermediate Holding Companies” collectively refers to the subsidiaries wholly owned by us.

“net asset value,” or “NAV,” refers to the value of all the assets of a fund (including cash and accrued interest and dividends) less all liabilities of the fund (including accrued expenses and any reserves established by us, in our discretion, for contingent liabilities) without reduction for accrued incentives (fund level) because they are reflected in the partners’ capital of the fund.

“Relevant Benchmark” refers, with respect to:

• our U.S. High Yield Bond strategy, to the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Cash-Pay Capped Index;

• our Global High Yield Bond strategy, to an Oaktree custom global high yield index that represents 60% BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index and 40% BofA Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers 3% Constrained, ex-Russia Index – USD Hedged from inception through December 31, 2012, and the BofA Merrill Lynch Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index – USD Hedged thereafter;

• our European High Yield Bond strategy, to the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers excluding Russia 3% Constrained Index (USD Hedged);

• our U.S. Senior Loan strategy (with the exception of the closed-end funds), to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index;

• our European Senior Loan strategy, to the Credit Suisse Western European Leveraged Loan Index (EUR Hedged);

• our U.S. Convertible Securities strategy, to an Oaktree custom convertible index that represents the Credit Suisse Convertible Securities Index from inception through December 31, 1999, the Goldman Sachs/Bloomberg Convertible 100 Index from January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2004 and the BofA Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index thereafter;

• our non-U.S. Convertible Securities strategy, to an Oaktree custom non-U.S. convertible index that represents the JACI Global ex-U.S. (Local) Index from inception through December 31, 2014 and the Thomson Reuters Global Focus ex-U.S. (USD hedged) Index thereafter;

• our High Income Convertible Securities strategy, to the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Market Index; and

• our Emerging Markets Equities strategy, to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (Net).

“senior executives” refers collectively to Howard S. Marks, Bruce A. Karsh, Jay S. Wintrob, John B. Frank, Stephen A. Kaplan, David M. Kirchheimer and Sheldon M. Stone.

“Sharpe Ratio” refers to a metric used to calculate risk-adjusted return. The Sharpe Ratio is the ratio of excess return to volatility, with excess return defined as the return above that of a riskless asset (based on the three-month U.S. Treasury bill, or for our European Senior Loan strategy, the Euro Overnight Index Average) divided by the standard deviation of such return. A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates a return that is higher than would be expected for the level of risk compared to the risk-free rate.

This quarterly report and its contents do not constitute and should not be construed as an offer of securities of any Oaktree funds.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Oaktree” or the “Company”) is a leader among global investment managers specializing in alternative investments. Oaktree emphasizes an opportunistic, value-oriented and risk-controlled approach to investments in distressed debt, corporate debt (including high yield debt and senior loans), control investing, convertible securities, real estate and listed equities. Funds managed by Oaktree (the “Oaktree funds”) include commingled funds, separate accounts and collateralized loan obligation vehicles (“CLOs”). Commingled funds include open-end and closed-end limited partnerships in which the Company makes an investment and for which it serves as the general partner or, in certain limited cases, co-general partner. CLOs are structured finance vehicles in which the Company typically makes an investment and for which it serves as collateral manager.

Oaktree Capital Group, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on April 13, 2007. The Company is owned by its Class A and Class B unitholders. Oaktree Capital Group Holdings GP, LLC acts as the Company’s manager and is the general partner of Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, L.P. (“OCGH”), which owns 100% of the Company’s outstanding Class B units. OCGH is owned by the Company’s senior executives, current and former employees and certain other investors (the “OCGH unitholders”). The Company’s operations are conducted through a group of operating entities collectively referred to as the Oaktree Operating Group. OCGH has a direct economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group and the Company has an indirect economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group. The interests in the Oaktree Operating Group are referred to as the “Oaktree Operating Group units.” An Oaktree Operating Group unit is not a separate legal interest but represents one limited partnership interest in each of the Oaktree Operating Group entities. Class A units are entitled to one vote per unit. Class B units are entitled to ten votes per unit and do not represent an economic interest in the Company. The number of Class B units held by OCGH increases or decreases in response to corresponding changes in OCGH’s economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group; consequently, the OCGH unitholders’ economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group is reflected within non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including these notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) such that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, the consolidated entities that are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, and certain entities that are not considered VIEs but in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Most of the Oaktree funds consolidated by the Company are investment companies that follow a specialized basis of accounting established by GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2015.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Policies of the Company

Consolidation

The Company consolidates those entities where it has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. As of June 30, 2015, this included eight VIEs for which the Company was considered the primary beneficiary, and substantially all of Oaktree’s closed-end, commingled open-end and evergreen funds for which the Company acts as the sole general partner and is deemed to control through a voting interest model.

Variable Interest Model. The Company consolidates VIEs for which it is considered the primary beneficiary. An entity is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s business and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The consolidation model for VIEs, which was revised effective January 1, 2010, requires an analysis to determine (a) whether an entity in which the Company holds a variable interest is a VIE and (b) whether the Company’s involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests (e.g., management and performance-related fees), would give it a controlling financial interest. The consolidation model for VIEs may be deferred if the VIE and the reporting entity’s interest in the VIE meet the deferral conditions set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-65-2(aa). If a VIE has met the deferral conditions, the analysis is based on the consolidation model for VIEs prior to January 1, 2010, which requires an analysis to determine (a) whether an entity in which the Company holds a variable interest is a VIE and (b) whether the Company’s involvement through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests (e.g., management and performance-related fees) would be expected to absorb a majority of the variability of the entity. Under either model, the Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion at each reporting date. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly by the Company or indirectly through related parties. The consolidation analysis can generally be performed qualitatively; however, if it is not readily apparent that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, a quantitative analysis may also be performed. Investments and redemptions (either by the Company, affiliates of the Company or third parties) or amendments to the governing documents of the respective Oaktree funds could affect an entity’s status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary.

While the Company holds variable interests in the Oaktree funds, most of those funds do not meet the characteristics of a VIE. As of June 30, 2015, the Company consolidated eight VIEs for which it was the primary beneficiary, including Oaktree AIF Holdings, Inc. (“AIF”), which was formed to hold certain assets for regulatory and other purposes. The seven remaining VIEs represented CLOs for which the Company acts as collateral manager. Three of the CLOs had not priced as of June 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, the Company consolidated six VIEs. There were no VIEs for which the Company was not the primary beneficiary as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company consolidated seven CLOs with total assets and liabilities of $2.4 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively. The assets and liabilities, respectively, of the CLOs primarily consisted of investments in debt securities and debt obligations issued by the CLOs. The debt obligations issued by each CLO were collateralized by the same CLO’s investments, and assets of one CLO may not be used to satisfy liabilities of another. In exchange for managing the collateral of the CLOs, the Company typically earns management fees and may earn performance fees, both of which are eliminated in consolidation. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had invested an aggregate $209.8 million in its CLOs, which represented its maximum risk of loss as of that date. The Company’s investments are generally subordinated to other interests in the CLOs and entitle the Company to receive a pro-rata portion of the residual cash flows, if any, from the CLOs. Investors in the CLOs have no recourse against the Company for any losses they sustain. Please see note 7 for more information on CLO debt obligations.

Voting Interest Model. For entities that are not VIEs, the Company evaluates those entities that it controls through a majority voting interest, including those Oaktree funds in which the Company as the sole general partner

is presumed to have control (together with the CLOs, the “consolidated funds”). Although as general partner the Company typically has only a small, single-digit percentage equity interest in each fund, the funds’ third-party limited partners do not have the right to dissolve the partnerships or have substantive kick-out or participating rights that would overcome the presumption of control by the Company.

Consequently, Oaktree’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the consolidated funds on a gross basis, and the majority of the economic interests in those funds, which are held by third-party investors, are attributed to non-controlling interests in consolidated funds in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. All of the revenues earned by Oaktree from the funds are eliminated in consolidation. However, because the eliminated amounts are earned from and funded by non-controlling interests, Oaktree’s attributable share of the net income from the funds is increased by the amounts eliminated. Thus, the elimination of the amounts in consolidation has no effect on net income or loss attributable to the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain funds for which the Company has no general partner responsibility but has the ability to exert significant influence through other means are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Non-controlling Redeemable Interests in Consolidated Funds

The Company records non-controlling interests to reflect the economic interests of the unaffiliated limited partners. These interests are presented as non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, outside of the permanent capital section. Limited partners in open-end and evergreen funds generally have the right to withdraw their capital, subject to the terms of the respective limited partnership agreements, over periods ranging from one month to three years. While limited partners in consolidated closed-end funds generally have not been granted redemption rights, these limited partners do have withdrawal or redemption rights in certain limited circumstances that are beyond the control of the Company, such as instances in which retaining the limited partnership interest could cause the limited partner to violate a law, regulation or rule.

The allocation of net income or loss to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds is based on the relative ownership interests of the unaffiliated limited partners after the consideration of contractual arrangements that govern allocations of income or loss. At the consolidated level, potential incentives are allocated to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds until such incentives become allocable to the Company under the substantive contractual terms of the limited partnership agreements of the funds.

Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Funds

Non-controlling interests in consolidated funds represent the equity interests held by third-party investors in CLOs that had not yet priced as of the respective period end. All non-controlling interests in those CLOs are attributed a share of income or loss arising from the respective CLO based on the relative ownership interests of third-party investors after consideration of contractual arrangements that govern allocations of income or loss. Investors in those CLOs are generally unable to redeem their interests until the CLO liquidates, is called or otherwise terminates.

Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries

Non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries reflect the portion of unitholders’ capital attributable to OCGH unitholders (“OCGH non-controlling interest”), certain related parties and third parties. All non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries are attributed a share of income or loss in the respective consolidated subsidiary based on the relative economic interests of the OCGH unitholders, related parties or third parties after consideration of contractual arrangements that govern allocations of income or loss. Please see note 9 for more information.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the use of estimates and judgment to measure the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquiree as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration that is determined to be part of the business combination is recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and is included in the purchase price. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently when events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred.

The Company's identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations primarily consist of contractual rights to earn future management fees and incentive income. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to seven years, and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value into three levels based on their market observability. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, such as the type of instrument and the characteristics specific to the instrument. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices from an active market or for which fair value can be measured based on actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified as follows:

• Level I – Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Company has access at the date of measurement. The types of investments in Level I include exchange-traded equities, debt and derivatives with quoted prices.

• Level II – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable. Level II inputs include interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment risks, loss severities, credit risks and default rates. The types of investments in Level II generally include corporate bonds and loans, government and agency securities, less liquid and restricted equity investments, over-the-counter traded derivatives, and other investments where the fair value is based on observable inputs.

• Level III – Valuations for which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. These inputs reflect the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants use to value the investment based on the best available information. Level III inputs include prices of quoted securities in markets for which there are few transactions, less public information exists or prices vary among brokered market makers. The types of investments in Level III include non-publicly traded equity, debt, real estate and derivatives.

In some instances, the inputs used to value an instrument may fall into multiple levels of the fair-value hierarchy. In such instances, the instrument’s level within the fair-value hierarchy is based on the lowest of the three levels (with Level III being the lowest) that is significant to the fair-value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of an input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the instrument. Transfers of assets into or out of each fair value hierarchy level as a result of changes in the observability of the inputs used in measuring fair value are accounted for as of the beginning of the reporting period. Transfers resulting from a specific event, such as a reorganization or restructuring, are accounted for as of the date of the event that caused the transfer.

($ in thousands, except where noted)

In the absence of observable market prices, the Company values Level III investments using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. The quarterly valuation process for Level III investments begins with each portfolio company, property or security being valued by the investment or valuation teams. With the exception of open-end funds, all unquoted Level III investment values are reviewed and approved by (i) the Company’s valuation officer, who is independent of the investment teams, (ii) a designated investment professional of each strategy and (iii) for a substantial majority of unquoted Level III holdings as measured by market value, a valuation committee for such strategy.  For open-end funds, unquoted Level III investment values are reviewed and approved by the Company’s valuation officer. For certain investments, the valuation process also includes a review by independent valuation parties, at least annually, to determine whether the fair values determined by management are reasonable. Results of the valuation process are evaluated each quarter, including an assessment of whether the underlying calculations should be adjusted or recalibrated. In connection with this process, the Company periodically evaluates changes in fair-value measurements for reasonableness, considering items such as industry trends, general economic and market conditions, and factors specific to the investment.

Certain assets are valued using prices obtained from brokers or pricing vendors. The Company obtains an average of one to two broker quotes. The Company seeks to obtain at least one quote directly from a broker making a market for the asset and one price from a pricing vendor for the specific or similar securities. These investments may be classified as Level III because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities, or may require adjustment for investment-specific factors or restrictions. The Company evaluates the prices obtained from brokers or pricing vendors based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated. The Company also performs back-testing of valuation information obtained from brokers and pricing vendors against actual prices received in transactions. In addition to on-going monitoring and back-testing, the Company performs due diligence procedures over pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process.

Fair Value Option

The Company has elected the fair value option for certain corporate investments that otherwise would not have reflected unrealized gains and losses in current-period earnings. Such election is irrevocable and is applied on an investment-by-investment basis at initial recognition. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are reflected as a component of investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s accounting for those investments is similar to its accounting for investments held by the consolidated funds at fair value and the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of those investments.

In addition, the Company has elected the fair value option for the assets of its CLOs. Assets of the CLOs are included in investments, at fair value and liabilities of the CLOs are reflected in debt obligations of CLOs in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company’s accounting for CLOs is similar to its accounting for closed-end funds with respect to both carrying investments held by CLOs at fair value and the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of those investments. Realized gains or losses and changes in the fair value of consolidated CLO assets are included in net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds’ investments, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income of CLOs is included in interest and dividend income. CLOs’ interest expense and other expenses are included in interest expense and consolidated fund expenses, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting Policies of Consolidated Funds

Investments, at Fair Value

The consolidated funds are primarily investment limited partnerships that reflect their investments, including majority-owned and controlled investments, at fair value. The Company has retained the specialized investment company accounting guidance under GAAP for those consolidated funds with respect to consolidated investments. Thus, the consolidated investments are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds’ investments in the condensed consolidated

statements of operations. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

Non-publicly traded debt and equity securities and other securities or instruments for which reliable market quotations are not available are valued by management using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. These securities may initially be valued at the acquisition price as the best indicator of fair value. The Company reviews the significant unobservable inputs, valuations of comparable investments and other similar transactions for investments valued at acquisition price to determine whether another valuation methodology should be utilized. Subsequent valuations will depend on the facts and circumstances known as of the valuation date and the application of valuation methodologies as further described below under “—Non-publicly Traded Equity and Real Estate Investments.” The fair value may also be based on a pending transaction expected to close after the valuation date.

Exchange-traded Investments

Securities listed on one or more national securities exchanges are valued at their last reported sales price on the date of valuation. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the security is valued at the mean of the last “bid” and “ask” prices on the valuation date. Securities that are not readily marketable due to legal restrictions that may limit or restrict transferability are generally valued at a discount from quoted market prices. The discount would reflect the amount market participants would require due to the risk relating to the inability to access a public market for the security for the specified period and would vary depending on the nature and duration of the restriction and the perceived risk and volatility of the underlying securities. Securities with longer duration restrictions or higher volatility are generally valued at a higher discount. Such discounts are generally estimated based on put option models or an analysis of market studies. Instances where the Company has applied discounts to quoted prices of restricted listed securities have been infrequent. The impact of such discounts is not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations for all periods presented.

Credit-oriented Investments (including Real Estate Loan Portfolios)

Investments in corporate and government debt which are not listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices on the valuation date based on quotations supplied by recognized quotation services or by reputable broker-dealers.

The market-yield approach is considered in the valuation of non-publicly traded debt securities, utilizing expected future cash flows and discounted using estimated current market rates. Discounted cash-flow calculations may be adjusted to reflect current market conditions and/or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. Consideration is also given to a borrower’s ability to meet principal and interest obligations; this may include an evaluation of collateral and/or the underlying value of the borrower utilizing techniques described below under “—Non-publicly Traded Equity and Real Estate Investments.”

Non-publicly Traded Equity and Real Estate Investments

The fair value of equity and real estate investments is determined using a cost, market or income approach. The cost approach is based on the current cost of reproducing a real estate investment less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence. The market approach utilizes valuations of comparable public companies and transactions, and generally seeks to establish the enterprise value of the portfolio company or investment property using a market-multiple methodology. This approach takes into account the financial measure (such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net operating income, net income, book value or net asset value) believed to be most relevant for the given company or investment property. Consideration also may be given to factors such as acquisition price of the security or investment property, historical and projected operational and financial results for the portfolio company, the strengths and weaknesses of the portfolio company or investment property relative to its comparable companies or properties, industry trends, general economic and market conditions, and others deemed relevant. The income approach is typically a discounted cash-flow method that incorporates expected timing and level of cash flows. It incorporates assumptions in determining growth rates, income and expense projections, discount and capitalization rates, capital structure, terminal values, and other factors. The applicability and weight assigned to market and income approaches are determined based on the availability of reliable projections and comparable companies and transactions.

The valuation of securities may be impacted by expectations of investors’ receptiveness to a public offering of the securities, the size of the holding of the securities and any associated control, information with respect to transactions or offers for the securities (including the transaction pursuant to which the investment was made and the elapsed time from the date of the investment to the valuation date), and applicable restrictions on the transferability of the securities.

These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of management judgment. Accordingly, valuations by the Company do not necessarily represent the amounts that eventually may be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments. Fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment existed, and the differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Developments

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the statements of financial position. Under current GAAP, such costs are reflected in the statements of financial position as a deferred asset. The new guidance will require these costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the related debt liability and to be amortized as interest expense. The amendment does not affect the current guidance on the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016 on a retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that amends the current consolidation guidance and ends the deferral granted to investment companies from applying the VIE guidance. The new guidance does not add or remove any of the five characteristics that determine if an entity is a VIE; rather, it focuses on the consolidation criteria used to evaluate whether certain legal entities should be consolidated. Additionally, the new guidance eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership under the voting model. The amendment is intended to simplify the consolidation guidance by placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest, reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a VIE and providing more clarity for reporting entities that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016 on either a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. Under the modified retrospective approach, prior years would not be restated; instead, a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the adoption year would be recorded. The Company may elect to early adopt and is currently evaluating the effect that adoption will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The guidance requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements. Additionally, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on measuring the financial assets and financial liabilities of a consolidated collateralized financing entity. The guidance applies to reporting entities that are required to consolidate a collateralized financing entity under the VIE guidance when (a) the reporting entity measures all of the financial assets and financial liabilities of that consolidated financing entity at fair value in the consolidated financial statements and (b) the changes in the fair values of those financial assets and financial liabilities are reflected in earnings. The guidance provides an alternative for measuring the financial assets and financial liabilities of a consolidated collateralized financing entity to eliminate differences in the fair value of those financial assets and financial liabilities as determined under GAAP. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board issued converged guidance on revenue recognition, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance provides a largely principles-based framework for addressing revenue recognition issues on a comprehensive basis, eliminates an entity’s ability to recognize revenue if there is risk of significant reversal, and requires enhanced disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts, including quantitative and qualitative information about significant judgments and changes in those judgments made by management in recognizing revenue. On July 9, 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of the guidance by one year. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 on either a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted no earlier than the original effective date, or the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

In August 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of the Highstar Capital team and certain Highstar entities (collectively, “Highstar”) for $31.4 million in cash, 100,595 fully-vested OCGH units and contingent consideration of up to $60.0 million. Highstar is an investment management firm specializing in U.S. energy infrastructure, waste management and transportation. The transaction, which was immaterial to Oaktree’s condensed consolidated financial statements, resulted in $50.8 million of goodwill, $28.0 million of identifiable intangible assets, primarily consisting of contractual rights associated with the management of Highstar Capital IV (“HS IV”), and $72.2 million of non-controlling interests in certain acquired subsidiaries that principally relate to investments in HS IV. Effective August 2014, the Company consolidated the financial position and results of operations of the controlled Highstar entities, including HS IV, and accounted for this transaction as a business combination. Please see notes 10 and 13 for more information regarding the contingent consideration liability.

Net Gains From Investment Activities of Consolidated Funds

Net gains from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations consist primarily of the realized and unrealized gains and losses on the consolidated funds’ investments (including foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to foreign-denominated investments and related activities) and other financial instruments. Unrealized gains or losses result from changes in the fair value of these investments and other financial instruments. Upon disposition of an investment, unrealized gains or losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period.

The following table summarizes net gains (losses) from investment activities:

5. FAIR VALUE

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The short-term nature of cash and cash-equivalents, receivables and accounts payable causes each of their carrying values to approximate fair value. The fair value of short-term investments included in cash and cash-equivalents is a Level I valuation. The Company’s other financial assets and liabilities by fair-value hierarchy level are set forth below. Please see notes 7 and 14 for the fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations and amounts due from/to affiliates, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Held By Consolidated Funds

The short-term nature of cash and cash-equivalents held at the consolidated funds causes their carrying value to approximate fair value. The fair value of cash-equivalents is a Level I valuation. Derivatives may apply to a mix of Level I, II or III investments, and therefore their fair-value hierarchy level may not correspond to the fair-value hierarchy level of the economically hedged investment. The table below summarizes the investments and other financial instruments of the consolidated funds by fair-value hierarchy level:

There were no transfers between Level I and Level II positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Transfers between Level I and Level II positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included $104.4 million and $739.7 million, respectively, from Level II to Level I due to the removal of discounts on three exchange-traded common equity investments upon the expiration of lockup periods and increased trading volume for one exchange-traded common equity investment.

Transfers out of Level III were generally attributable to certain investments that experienced a more significant level of market trading activity or completed an initial public offering during the respective period and thus were valued using observable inputs. Transfers into Level III typically reflected either investments that experienced a less significant level of market trading activity during the period or portfolio companies that undertook restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings and thus were valued in the absence of observable inputs.

(1) A discounted cash-flow method is generally used to value performing credit-oriented investments in which the consolidated funds do not have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer, as well as certain equity investments, real estate-oriented investments and real estate loan portfolios.

(2) A market approach is generally used to value distressed investments and investments in which the consolidated funds have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer.

(3) Earnings multiples are based on comparable public companies and transactions with comparable companies. The Company typically utilizes multiples of EBITDA; however, in certain cases the Company may use other earnings multiples believed to be most relevant to the investment. The Company typically applies the multiple to trailing twelve-months’ EBITDA. However, in certain cases other earnings measures, such as pro forma EBITDA, may be utilized if deemed to be more relevant.

(4) A market approach using the value of underlying assets utilizes a multiple, based on comparable companies, of underlying assets or the net book value of the portfolio company. The Company typically obtains the value of underlying assets from the underlying portfolio

company’s financial statements or from pricing vendors. The Company may value the underlying assets by using prices and other relevant information from market transactions involving comparable assets.

(5) Certain investments are valued based on recent transactions, generally defined as investments purchased or sold within six months of the valuation date. The fair value may also be based on a pending transaction expected to close after the valuation date.

(6) Certain investments are valued using quoted prices for the subject or similar securities.  Generally, investments valued in this manner are classified as Level III because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities, or may require adjustment for investment-specific factors or restrictions.

(7) The discounted cash flow model for certain real estate-oriented investments and certain real estate loan portfolios contains a sell-out analysis. In these cases, the discounted cash flow is based on the expected timing and prices of sales of the underlying properties. The Company’s determination of the sales prices of these properties typically includes consideration of prices and other relevant information from market transactions involving comparable properties.

(8) The sales approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable assets. The significant unobservable inputs used in the sales approach generally include adjustments to transactions involving comparable assets or properties, adjustments to external or internal appraised values, and the Company’s assumptions regarding market trends or other relevant factors.

(9) The discount rate is the significant unobservable input used in the fair-value measurement of performing credit-oriented investments in which the consolidated funds do not have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer, as well as certain equity investments and real estate loan portfolios. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate would result in a lower (higher) fair-value measurement.

(10) Multiple of either earnings or underlying assets is the significant unobservable input used in the market approach for the fair-value measurement of distressed credit-oriented investments, credit-oriented investments in which the consolidated funds have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer, equity investments and certain real estate-oriented investments. An increase (decrease) in the multiple would result in a higher (lower) fair-value measurement.

(11) The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair-value measurement of real estate investments utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis can include one or more of the following: discount rate, terminal capitalization rate, direct capitalization rate, net operating income growth rate or absorption rate. An increase (decrease) in a discount rate, terminal capitalization rate or direct capitalization rate would result in a lower (higher) fair-value measurement. An increase (decrease) in a net operating income growth rate or absorption rate would result in a higher (lower) fair-value measurement. Generally, a change in a net operating income growth rate or absorption rate would be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the discount rate.

(12) The weighted average is based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.

A significant amount of judgment may be required when using unobservable inputs, including assessing the accuracy of source data and the results of pricing models. The Company assesses the accuracy and reliability of the sources it uses to develop unobservable inputs. These sources may include third-party vendors that the Company believes are reliable and commonly utilized by other market place participants. As described in note 2, other factors beyond the unobservable inputs described above may have a significant impact on investment valuations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the valuation technique for eight Level III investments changed: (a) three credit-oriented investments and one equity investment changed from a market approach based on comparable companies to a market approach based on the value of underlying assets as a result of an increased focus on the value of the company’s physical assets, (b) one credit-oriented investment changed from a market approach based on comparable companies to a valuation based on recent market information due to increased availability of broker quotations, (c) one credit-oriented investment changed from a valuation technique that used both a discounted cash flow and sales approach to an approach based solely on a discounted cash flow technique due to a decreased focus on the value of the issuer’s assets, (d) one real estate-oriented investment changed from a valuation based on a market approach to a discounted cash flow as a result of the stabilization of the underlying property and (e) one real estate-oriented investment changed from a valuation based on a discounted cash flow to a sales approach as a result of receiving offers from potential buyers.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the valuation technique for four Level III investments changed: (a) one equity security and one credit-oriented security changed from a valuation based on then-recent market information to a market approach based on comparable companies, because the investee underwent a restructuring and its securities are no longer traded, and (b) one equity security and one credit-oriented security changed from a valuation based on a discounted cash flow to a market approach based on comparable companies as a result of the stabilization of the underlying investments.

6. HEDGES AND OTHER DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into derivative instruments as part of its overall risk management strategy or to facilitate its investment management activities. Risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of business are addressed as part of the Company’s overall risk management strategy that may include the use of derivative instruments to economically hedge or reduce these exposures. From time to time, the Company may enter into (a) foreign currency option and forward contracts to reduce earnings and cash-flow volatility associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and (b) interest-rate swaps to manage all or a portion of the interest-rate risk associated with its variable-rate borrowings. As a result of the use of these or other derivative contracts, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties will fail to fulfill their contractual obligations. The Company attempts to mitigate this counterparty risk by entering into derivative contracts only with major financial institutions that have investment-grade credit ratings. Counterparty credit risk is evaluated in determining the fair value of derivative instruments.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding two interest-rate swaps that were designated to hedge the interest rate risk covering up to $165.0 million and $180.0 million, respectively, of the $250.0 million variable-rate bank term loan.  The swaps, which had aggregate designated notional values of $333.8 million and $348.8 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, expire through January 2017. As of June 30, 2015, the hedges continued to be effective.

In August 2013, to facilitate its investment management activities, the Company entered into a two-year total return swap (“TRS”) agreement with a financial institution to meet certain investment objectives for which the primary risk exposure was credit. Pursuant to the TRS agreement, the Company had deposited $50.0 million in cash collateral with the counterparty and had the ability to access up to $200.0 million of U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities underlying the TRS.

In February 2014, the Company closed its TRS position resulting in realized gains of $7.1 million, and received $1.4 million in cash at closing. In connection with the launch of a CLO, the Company contributed the $50.0 million cash collateral deposit and $5.7 million of remaining realized gains due from the counterparty under the TRS agreement, and an additional $4.5 million in cash, to the CLO. The CLO purchased the underlying reference securities that were held by the counterparty under the TRS agreement at fair value of $312.9 million plus $1.0 million of interest receivable. The CLO paid $258.2 million in cash, net of the $50.0 million cash collateral deposit and $5.7 million of realized gains due from the counterparty under the TRS agreement. The CLO was funded with the Company’s $60.2 million in aggregate contributions and net proceeds of $450.0 million in cash from the issuance of $456.0 million in senior secured notes to a third party, net of $6.0 million in debt issuance costs. Please see note 7 for more information regarding the debt obligations of the CLOs.

Freestanding derivatives are instruments that the Company enters into as part of its overall risk management strategy but does not designate as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. These instruments may include foreign currency exchange contracts, interest-rate swaps and other derivative contracts.

The fair value of forward currency sell contracts consisted of the following:

As of June 30, 2015:	Contract  Amount in Local Currency	Contract  Amount in U.S. Dollars		Market  Value in U.S. Dollars		Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

(1) To the extent that the Company’s freestanding derivatives are utilized to hedge its exposure to investment income and management fees earned from consolidated funds, the related hedged items are eliminated in consolidation, with the derivative impact (a positive number reflects a reduction of expenses) reflected in consolidated general and administrative expenses.

As of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had not designated any derivatives as fair-value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations.

Derivatives Held By Consolidated Funds

Certain consolidated funds utilize derivative instruments in ongoing investment operations. These derivatives primarily consist of foreign currency forward contracts and options utilized to manage currency risk, interest-rate swaps to hedge interest-rate risk, options and futures used to hedge exposure for specific securities, and total-return and credit-default swaps utilized mainly to obtain exposure to leveraged loans or to participate in foreign markets not readily accessible. The primary risk exposure for options and futures is price, while the primary risk exposure for total-return and credit-default swaps is credit. None of the derivative instruments is accounted for as a hedging instrument utilizing hedge accounting.

The average notional amounts of foreign currency and total-return swap contracts outstanding, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $4.9 billion long and $347.4 million short, and $3.0 billion long and $18.4 million short.

Balance Sheet Offsetting

The Company recognizes all derivatives as assets or liabilities at fair value in its condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. In connection with its derivative activities, the Company generally enters into agreements subject to enforceable master netting arrangements that allow the Company to offset derivative assets and liabilities in the same currency by specific derivative type or, in the event of default by the counterparty, to offset derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty. The table below sets forth the setoff rights and related arrangements associated with derivative instruments held by the Company. The “gross amounts not offset in statements of financial condition” columns represent derivative instruments that are eligible to be offset in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, but for which management has elected not to offset in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Total remaining principal	$	850,000	$	850,000

Future scheduled principal payments of debt obligations as of June 30, 2015 were as follows:

Remainder of 2015	$	—
2016	100,000
2017	—
2018	—
2019	500,000
Thereafter	250,000
Total	$	850,000

The Company was in compliance with all financial maintenance covenants associated with its senior notes and credit facility as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations, which are carried at amortized cost, is a Level III valuation that is estimated based on a discounted cash-flow calculation using estimated rates that would be offered to Oaktree for debt of similar terms and maturities. The fair value of these debt obligations was $868.4 million and $895.9 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, utilizing an average borrowing rate of 3.4% and 3.2%, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, a 10% increase in the assumed average borrowing rate would lower the estimated fair value to $852.5 million, whereas a 10% decrease would increase the estimated fair value to $885.0 million.

In September 2014, the Company’s subsidiaries Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (the “Issuer”) and Oaktree Capital I, L.P., Oaktree Capital II, L.P. and Oaktree AIF Investments, L.P. (the “Guarantors” and together with the Issuer, the “Obligors”) issued and sold to certain accredited investors $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.91% Senior Notes, Series A, due September 3, 2024 (the “Series A Notes”), $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.01% Senior Notes, Series B, due September 3, 2026 (the “Series B Notes”) and $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.21% Senior Notes, Series C, due September 3, 2029 (the “Series C Notes” and together with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to a note and guarantee agreement (the “Note Agreement”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer, guaranteed by the Guarantors on a joint and several basis. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually.

The Note Agreement provides for certain affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants relating to the Obligors’ combined leverage ratio and minimum assets under management. In addition, the Note Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Obligors and customary events of default, in certain cases, subject to cure periods. The Issuer may prepay all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes at any time, subject to the Issuer’s payment of the applicable make-whole amount determined with respect to such principal amount prepaid. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the Issuer will be required to make an offer

to prepay the Notes together with the applicable make-whole amount determined with respect to such principal amount prepaid.

In March 2014, the Company’s subsidiaries Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., Oaktree Capital II, L.P., Oaktree AIF Investments, L.P. and Oaktree Capital I, L.P. entered into a credit agreement with a bank syndicate for senior unsecured credit facilities (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $250.0 million fully-funded term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), each with a five-year term. The Credit Facility replaced the amortizing term loan, which had a principal balance of $218.8 million, and the undrawn revolver under the Company’s prior credit facility. The Term Loan matures in March 2019, at which time the entire principal amount of $250.0 million is due. Borrowings under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at a spread to either LIBOR or an alternative base rate. Based on the current credit ratings of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., the interest rate on borrowings is LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum and the commitment fee on the unused portions of the Revolver is 0.125% per annum. Utilizing interest-rate swaps, the majority of the Term Loan’s annual interest rate is fixed at 2.69% through January 2016 and 2.22% for the twelve months thereafter, based on the current credit ratings of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. The Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants and restrictions, including ones regarding a maximum leverage ratio of 3.0-to-1.0 and a minimum required level of assets under management (as defined in the credit agreement) of $50.0 billion. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and was able to draw the full amount available without violating any financial maintenance covenants.

Credit Facilities of the Consolidated Funds

Certain consolidated funds maintain revolving credit facilities to fund investments between, or in advance of, capital drawdowns. These facilities generally (a) are collateralized by the unfunded capital commitments of the consolidated funds’ limited partners, (b) bear an annual commitment fee based on unfunded commitments, and (c) contain various affirmative and negative covenants and reporting obligations, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, margin stock, affiliate transactions, dividends and distributions, release of capital commitments, and portfolio asset dispositions. Additionally, certain consolidated funds have issued senior variable rate notes to fund investments on a longer term basis, generally up to ten years. The obligations of the consolidated funds are nonrecourse to the Company.

The fair value of the revolving credit facilities is a Level III valuation and approximated carrying value for all periods presented due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the credit facilities and senior variable rate notes is a Level III valuation and aggregated $3.2 billion and $2.8 billion as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, using prices obtained from pricing vendors. Financial instruments that are valued using quoted prices for the subject or similar securities are generally classified as Level III because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities, or may require adjustment for investment-specific factors or restrictions.

(1) The debt obligations of the CLOs are Level III valuations and were valued using prices obtained from pricing vendors or recent transactions. Financial instruments that are valued using quoted prices for the subject or similar securities are generally classified as Level III because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities, or may require adjustment for investment-specific factors or restrictions. Financial instruments that are valued based on recent transactions are generally defined as securities purchased or sold within six months of the valuation date.  The fair value may also be based on a pending transaction expected to close after the valuation date. For recently issued debt obligations, the carrying value approximates fair value.

(2) The weighted average interest rate is based on LIBOR plus 2.01%.

(3) The weighted average interest rate is based on LIBOR plus 2.21%.

(4) The interest rate was LIBOR plus a margin determined based on a formula as defined in the respective borrowing agreements, which incorporate different borrowing values based on the characteristics of collateral investments purchased.  The weighted average unused commitment fee rate ranged from 0% to 2.0%.

(5) The weighted average interest rate is based on EURIBOR plus 2.26%.

(6) The weighted average interest rate is based on EURIBOR plus 2.27%.

(7) The subordinated notes do not have a contractual interest rate; instead, they receive distributions from the excess cash flows generated by the CLO.

(8) As of June 30, 2015, the term loan had a total facility capacity of $116.7 million. On July 7, 2015, the facility increased to $325.0 million. The interest rate is based on LIBOR plus 1.40%. The unused commitment fee was 0.10%.

The debt obligations of the CLOs are nonrecourse to the Company and are backed by the investments held by the respective CLO. Assets of one CLO may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another. As of June 30, 2015, the fair value of the CLO assets was $2.4 billion and consisted of cash, corporate loans, corporate bonds and other securities.

9. UNITHOLDERS’ CAPITAL

Unitholders’ capital reflects the economic interests attributable to Class A unitholders, non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries and non-controlling interests in consolidated funds. Non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries represent the portion of unitholders’ capital attributable to OCGH unitholders, or OCGH non-controlling interest, certain related parties and third parties. The OCGH non-controlling interest is determined at the Oaktree Operating Group level based on the proportionate share of Oaktree Operating Group units held by the OCGH unitholders. Certain expenses, such as income tax and related administrative expenses of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and its Intermediate Holding Companies, are solely attributable to the Class A unitholders. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, OCGH units represented 105,459,544 of the total 153,831,203 Oaktree Operating Group units and 109,088,901 of the total 152,852,620 Oaktree Operating Group units. Based on total allocable Oaktree Operating Group capital of $1,672,925 and $1,640,594 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, the OCGH non-controlling interest was $1,146,877 and $1,170,893. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, non-controlling interests attributable to certain related parties and third parties was $96,576 and $95,068, respectively.

In March 2015, the Company issued and sold 4,600,000 Class A units in a public offering (the “March 2015 Offering”), resulting in $237.8 million in proceeds to the Company. The Company did not retain any proceeds from the sale of Class A units in the March 2015 Offering. The proceeds from the March 2015 Offering were used to acquire interests in the Company’s business from certain of the Company’s directors, employees and other investors, including certain senior executives and other members of the Company’s senior management.

Basic and diluted net income per Class A unit	$	0.41	$	0.72	$	1.24	$	1.99

Vested OCGH units may be exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into Class A units, subject to certain restrictions. As of June 30, 2015, there were 105,459,544 OCGH units outstanding, which are vested or will vest through March 1, 2025, that may ultimately be exchanged into 105,459,544 Class A units. The exchange of these units would proportionally increase the Company’s interest in the Oaktree Operating Group. However, as the restrictions set forth in the exchange agreement were in place at the end of each respective reporting period, those units were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

In connection with the August 2014 Highstar acquisition, the Company has a contingent consideration liability that is payable in a combination of cash and fully-vested OCGH units. The amount of contingent consideration, if any, is based on the achievement of certain performance targets over a period of up to seven years from the acquisition date. As of June 30, 2015, no OCGH units were considered issuable under the terms of the contingent consideration arrangement; consequently, no contingently issuable units were included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Please see note 13 for more information regarding the contingent consideration liability.

11. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Restricted Unit Awards

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted 1,157,492 restricted OCGH units and 7,940 Class A units to its employees and directors, subject to annual vesting over a weighted average period of approximately 5.0 years. The grant date fair value of OCGH units awarded during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was determined by applying a 20% discount to the ClassA unit trading price on the New York Stock Exchange as of the grant date. The calculation of compensation expense for all OCGH units awarded during 2015 assumed a forfeiture rate, based on expected employee turnover, of up to 1.5% annually.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company expected to recognize compensation expense on its unvested equity-based awards of $157.7 million over a weighted average recognition period of 4.8 years.

	Number of Units	Weighted Average Remaining  Service Term (Years)
Class A units	21,586	2.9
OCGH units	4,805,062	4.8

Equity Value Units

OCGH equity value units (“EVUs”) represent special limited partnership units in OCGH that entitle the holder the right to receive a one-time special distribution that will be settled in OCGH units, based on value created during a specified period (“Term”) in excess of a fixed “Base Value.” The value created will be measured on a per unit basis, based on Class A unit trading prices and certain components of quarterly distributions with respect to interim periods during the Term. EVUs also give the holder the right, subject to service vesting and Oaktree performance relative to the accreting Base Value, to receive certain quarterly distributions from OCGH. EVUs do not entitle the holder to any voting rights.

On December 2, 2014, OCGH granted 2,000,000 EVUs to Jay S. Wintrob, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, subject to a five-year vesting schedule through December 2019. The grant agreement provides Mr. Wintrob with certain liquidity rights in respect of the one-time special distribution that will be settled in OCGH units. The Company accounts for those EVUs subject to such liquidity rights as liability-classified awards. As of June 30, 2015, there were 1,000,000 equity-classified EVUs and 1,000,000 liability-classified EVUs outstanding.

On February 24, 2015, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to certain terms relating to the EVUs granted to Mr. Wintrob.  The board of directors determined that it was appropriate to extend Mr. Wintrob’s EVU performance period, and the period during which Mr. Wintrob’s potential payment of OCGH units remains at risk, over two additional years to provide a longer term incentive structure. As a result of the amendment, the number of OCGH units that Mr. Wintrob will receive in respect of the EVUs will generally be determined based on the appreciation of the Class A units and certain distributions made with respect to OCGH units over the period beginning on January 1, 2015 and ending on each of December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, with one-third of the EVUs recapitalizing on each such date.  The amendment was accounted for as a modification of an equity award in the first quarter of 2015 and was immaterial to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company expected to recognize $13.8 million of compensation expense on its unvested EVUs over the next 4.5 years. Equity-classified EVUs that require future service are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Liability-classified EVUs are remeasured at the end of each quarter.

($ in thousands, except where noted)

The fair value of EVUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model at the grant date for equity-classified EVUs and as of the period end date for liability-classified EVUs. The fair value is affected by the Class A unit trading price and assumptions regarding certain complex and subjective variables, including the expected Class A unit trading price volatility, distributions and exercise timing, and the risk-free interest rate. The fair value of equity-classified EVUs reflected a 20% lack of marketability discount for the OCGH units that will be issued upon vesting, and an assumed forfeiture rate of zero.

12. INCOME TAXES AND RELATED PAYMENTS

Oaktree is a publicly traded partnership and Oaktree Holdings, Inc. and Oaktree AIF Holdings, Inc., two of its Intermediate Holding Companies, are wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries. Income earned by these corporate subsidiaries is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation and taxed at prevailing rates. Income earned by non-corporate subsidiaries is not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax and is allocated to the Oaktree Operating Group’s unitholders.  The Company’s effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated nature of many amounts and the mix of revenues and expenses between the two corporate subsidiaries that are subject to income tax and the three other subsidiaries that are not; consequently, the effective tax rate is subject to significant variation from period to period. The Company’s effective tax rate used for interim periods is based on the estimated full-year income tax rate. Certain items that cannot be reliably estimated, such as incentive income, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The tax expense or benefit stemming from these items is recognized in the same period as the underlying income or expense.

Taxing authorities are currently examining certain income tax returns of Oaktree, with certain of these examinations at an advanced stage. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that one outcome of these current examinations and expiring statutes of limitation on other items may be the release of up to approximately $3.5 million of previously accrued Operating Group income taxes during the four quarters ending June 30, 2016. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to its tax examinations and that any settlements related thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations; however, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcomes.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The exchange of OCGH units in connection with the March 2015 Offering resulted in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the Oaktree Operating Group. As a result, the Company recorded an estimated deferred tax asset of $73.5 million and an associated liability of $62.5 million for payments to OCGH unitholders under the tax receivable agreement, which together increased capital by $11.0 million. These payments are expected to occur over the period ending approximately in 2037.

No amounts were paid under the tax receivable agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, Oaktree enters into contracts that contain certain representations, warranties and indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these arrangements would involve future claims that have not yet been asserted. Inasmuch as no such claims currently exist or are expected to arise, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with these indemnifications.

Legal Actions

Periodically, the Company is a party to legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is currently not subject to any pending actions that either individually or in the aggregate are expected to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Incentive Income

In addition to the incentive income recognized by the Company, certain of its funds have amounts recorded as potentially allocable to the Company as its share of potential future incentive income, based on each fund’s net asset value. Inasmuch as this incentive income is contingent upon future investment activity and other factors, it is

($ in thousands, except where noted)

not recognized by the Company until it is fixed or determinable. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate of such amounts recorded at the fund level in excess of incentive income recognized by the Company was $1,917,356 and $1,915,107, respectively, for which related direct incentive income compensation expense was estimated to be $922,550 and $930,572, respectively.

Contingent Consideration

The Company has a contingent consideration obligation of up to $60.0 million related to the August 2014 Highstar acquisition, payable in cash and fully-vested OCGH units. The amount of contingent consideration is based on the achievement of certain performance targets over a period of up to seven years from the acquisition date. As of June 30, 2015, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $28.7 million, based on a discount rate of 10%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, the Company recognized expenses of $0.7 million and $1.5 million associated with changes in the contingent consideration liability. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is a Level III valuation and was valued using a discounted cash-flow analysis based on a probability-weighted average estimate of achieving certain performance targets, including fundraising and revenue levels. The contingent consideration liability is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Changes in the liability are recorded in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Commitments to Funds

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company, generally in the capacity as general partner, had undrawn capital commitments of $444.8 million and $256.0 million, respectively, including commitments to both non-consolidated and consolidated funds.

Investment Commitments of Consolidated Funds

The consolidated funds are parties to certain credit agreements that provide for the issuance of letters of credit and revolving loans, and may require the consolidated funds to extend additional loans to investee companies. The consolidated funds use the same investment criteria in making these unrecorded commitments as they do for investments that are included in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The unfunded liability associated with these credit agreements is equal to the amount by which the contractual loan commitment exceeds the sum of the amount of funded debt and cash held in escrow, if any. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the consolidated funds had aggregate potential credit and investment commitments of $1,466.6 million and $1,585.8 million, respectively. These commitments will be funded by the funds’ cash balances, proceeds from asset sales or drawdowns against existing capital commitments.

A consolidated fund may agree to guarantee the repayment obligations of certain investee companies. The aggregate amounts guaranteed were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The majority of the Company’s consolidated funds are investment companies that are required to disclose financial support provided or contractually required to be provided to any of their portfolio companies. Certain consolidated funds within the Distressed Debt, Control Investing and Real Estate strategies provide financial support to portfolio companies in accordance with the investment objectives of the consolidated funds. Distressed Debt funds typically invest primarily in the securities of entities that are undergoing, are considered likely to undergo, or have undergone reorganizations under applicable bankruptcy law, or other extraordinary transactions such as debt restructurings, reorganizations and liquidations outside of bankruptcy. Control Investing funds typically seek to obtain control or significant influence primarily in middle-market companies through the purchase of debt at a discount (also known as “distress-for-control”), structured or hybrid investments (such as convertible debt or debt with warrants), or direct equity investments that typically involve situations with an element of distress or dislocation. Real Estate funds generally focus on distressed or similar opportunities primarily in real estate, real estate debt and restructurings, which typically involve value investments, rescue capital and distress-for-control investments. This financial support may be provided pursuant to contractual agreements, typically in the form of follow-on investments, guarantees or financing commitments. Most of the financial support is provided as an inherent part of the ongoing investment operations of the consolidated funds within these strategies and is considered to be

provided at the discretion of the Company in its capacity as general partner and investment manager. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the consolidated funds provided financial support to portfolio companies totaling $282.3 million and $3.0 billion with respect to support pursuant to contractual agreements and at the discretion of the consolidated funds, respectively. The majority of this financial support consisted of the funds’ purchases of investment securities and companies.

14. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company considers its senior executives, employees and non-consolidated Oaktree funds to be affiliates (as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary). Amounts due from and to affiliates are set forth below. The fair value of amounts due from and to affiliates is a Level III valuation and was valued based on a discounted cash-flow analysis. The carrying value of amounts due from affiliates approximated fair value because their average interest rate, which ranged from 2.0% to 3.0%, approximated the Company’s cost of debt. The fair value of amounts due to affiliates approximated $167,659 and $159,264 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, based on a discount rate of 10.0%.

	As of
	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Due from affiliates:
Loans	$	34,328	$	39,452
Amounts due from non-consolidated funds	1,852		2,525
Payments made on behalf of non-consolidated entities	3,824		3,221
Non-interest bearing advances made to certain non-controlling interest holders and employees	1,738		1,683
Total due from affiliates	$	41,742	$	46,881
Due to affiliates:
Due to OCGH unitholders in connection with the tax receivable agreement (please see note 12)	$	370,949	$	308,475
Amounts due to senior executives, certain non-controlling interest holders and employees	327		739
Total due to affiliates	$	371,276	$	309,214

Loans

Loans primarily consist of interest-bearing advances made to certain non-controlling interest holders, primarily the Company’s employees, to meet tax obligations related to vesting of equity awards. The notes, which are generally recourse to the borrower or secured by vested equity and other collateral, bear interest at the Company’s cost of debt and generated interest income of $913 and $783 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Due From Oaktree Funds and Portfolio Companies

In the normal course of business, the Company pays certain expenses on behalf of the Oaktree funds, for which it is reimbursed. Amounts advanced on behalf of consolidated funds are eliminated in consolidation. Certain expenses initially paid by the Company, primarily employee travel and other costs associated with particular portfolio company holdings, are reimbursed by the portfolio companies.

Other Investment Transactions

The Company’s senior executives, directors and senior professionals are permitted to invest their own capital (or the capital of family trusts or other estate planning vehicles they control) in Oaktree funds, for which they pay the particular fund’s full management fee but not its incentive allocation. To facilitate the funding of capital calls by funds in which employees are invested, the Company periodically advances on a short-term basis the capital

calls on certain employees’ behalf. These advances are generally reimbursed toward the end of the calendar quarter in which the capital calls occurred. Amounts temporarily advanced by the Company are included in non-interest bearing advances made to certain non-controlling interest holders and employees.

Aircraft Services

As of December 31, 2014, the Company leased an airplane for business purposes. On March 23, 2015, the Company exercised a purchase option for $12.5 million. Howard Marks, the Company’s co-chairman, may use this aircraft for personal travel and, pursuant to a policy adopted by the Company relating to such personal use, the Company is reimbursed by Mr. Marks for the costs of using the aircraft for personal travel.  Additionally, the Company occasionally makes use of an airplane owned by one of its senior executives for business purposes at a price to the Company that is based on market rates.

Special Allocations

Certain senior executives receive special allocations based on a percentage of profits of the Oaktree Operating Group. These special allocations, which are recorded as compensation expense, are made on a current basis for so long as they remain senior executives of the Company, with limited exceptions.

15. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s business is comprised of one segment, the investment management segment. As a global investment manager, the Company provides investment management services through funds and separate accounts. Management makes operating decisions and assesses business performance based on financial and operating metrics and data that are presented without the consolidation of any funds.

The Company conducts its investment management business primarily in the United States, where substantially all of its revenues are generated.

Adjusted Net Income

The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses adjusted net income (“ANI”) as a tool to help evaluate the financial performance of, and make resource allocations and other operating decisions for, the investment management segment. The components of revenues and expenses used in the determination of ANI do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that the Company manages. Segment revenues include investment income (loss) that is classified in other income (loss) in the GAAP-basis statements of operations. Segment revenues and expenses also reflect Oaktree’s proportionate economic interest in Highstar, whereby amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs are included with segment expenses, as compared to being recorded as other income under GAAP. In addition, ANI excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before the Company’s initial public offering, (b) acquisition-related items including amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability, (c) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes, (d) income taxes, (e) other income or expenses applicable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (f) the adjustment for non-controlling interests. Incentive income and incentive income compensation expense are included in ANI when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, which may be later than the time at which the same revenue or expense is included in the GAAP-basis statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is fixed or determinable and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. ANI is calculated at the Operating Group level.

A reconciliation of net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC to adjusted net income of the investment management segment is presented below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC	$	19,814		$	31,186		$	58,067		$	82,980

Adjusted net income	$	85,346		$	134,749		$	240,684		$	381,694

(1) This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences associated with the recognition of incentive income and incentive income compensation expense between adjusted net income and net income attributable to OCG.

(2) This adjustment adds back the effect of (a) equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before the Company’s initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income because it is a non-cash charge that does not affect the Company’s financial position, and (b) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes.

(3) This adjustment adds back the effect of acquisition-related items associated with the amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability.

(4) Because adjusted net income is a pre-tax measure, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.

(5) Because adjusted net income is calculated at the Operating Group level, this adjustment adds back the effect of items applicable to OCG, its Intermediate Holding Companies or non-controlling interests.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and the related notes included within this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. The factors listed under “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in this quarterly report and under “Risk Factors” in our annual report provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in any forward-looking statements.

Business Overview

Oaktree is a leader among global investment managers specializing in alternative investments, with $103 billion in AUM as of June 30, 2015. We emphasize an opportunistic, value-oriented and risk-controlled approach to investments in distressed debt, corporate debt (including high yield debt and senior loans), control investing, convertible securities, real estate and listed equities. Over nearly three decades, we have developed a large and growing client base through our ability to identify and capitalize on opportunities for attractive investment returns in less efficient markets.

We manage assets on behalf of many of the most significant institutional investors in the world. Our clientele has nearly doubled over the past decade, to more than 2,100, including 75 of the 100 largest U.S. pension plans, 39 states in the United States, 425 corporations and/or their pension funds, 371 university, charitable and other endowments and foundations, 16 sovereign wealth funds and over 300 other non-U.S. institutional investors. As measured by AUM, 40% of our clients are invested in two or three different investment strategies, and 37% are invested in four or more. Headquartered in Los Angeles, we serve these clients with over 900 employees and offices in 17 cities worldwide.

Our business is comprised of one segment, our investment management segment, which consists of the investment management services that we provide to our clients. Our segment revenue flows from the management fees and incentive income generated by the funds that we manage, as well as the investment income earned from the investments we make in our funds, third-party funds and other companies. The management fees that we receive are based on the contractual terms of the relevant fund and are typically calculated as a fixed percentage of the capital commitments (as adjusted for distributions during a fund’s liquidation period), drawn capital or NAV of the particular fund. Incentive income represents our share (typically 20%) of the investors’ profits in most of the closed-end and certain evergreen funds. Investment income refers to the investment return on a mark-to-market basis and our equity participation on the amounts that we invest in Oaktree and third-party funds, as well as in other companies.

Business Environment and Developments

As a global investment manager, we are affected by myriad factors, including the condition of the economy and financial markets; the relative attractiveness of our investment strategies and investors’ demand for them; and regulatory or other governmental policies or actions. The diversified nature of both our array of investment strategies and our revenue mix historically has allowed us to benefit from both strong and weak environments. Weak economies and the declining financial markets that typically accompany them tend to dampen our revenues from asset-based management fees, investment realizations or price appreciation, but their prospect can result in our raising relatively large amounts of capital for certain strategies, especially Distressed Debt. Additionally, during weak financial markets there often is expanded availability of bargain investments for purchase. Conversely, the strong phase of the economic cycle generally increases the value of our investments and therefore the fees that are based on asset value, and creates favorable exit opportunities (and often incentive income and higher investment income proceeds).

Global financial markets were mixed in the second quarter of 2015. U.S. equities reached all-time highs in May, before a sharp sell-off at the end of June, ending the quarter flat. The S&P 500 Index returned 0.3% for the quarter, while European equities and worldwide bond markets generally were down. The aggregate gross return of our closed-end funds for the quarter was approximately zero. Capital inflows drove AUM to a record $103.1 billion as of June 30, 2015. Gross capital raised was $6.3 billion for the second quarter of 2015 and a record $24.0 billion for the trailing twelve months. Of the latter, investment strategies or products developed since the beginning of 2011 accounted for approximately $4.3 billion. Closed-end funds we are currently marketing include Oaktree Mezzanine Fund IV (“Mezz IV”), Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund VII (“ROF VII”), Oaktree Opportunities

52

Funds X and Xb (“Opps X and Xb”), Oaktree Enhanced Income Fund III, Oaktree Infrastructure Fund, European Capital Solutions Fund and Oaktree European Principal Fund IV (“EPF IV”).

Business Combinations

In August 2014, we completed our acquisition of the Highstar team and certain Highstar entities (collectively, “Highstar”) for $31.4 million in cash, 100,595 fully-vested OCGH units and contingent consideration of up to $60.0 million. Highstar is an investment management firm specializing in U.S. energy infrastructure, waste management and transportation. The transaction, which was immaterial to Oaktree’s condensed consolidated financial statements, resulted in $50.8 million of goodwill and $28.0 million of identifiable intangible assets, primarily consisting of contractual rights associated with the management of Highstar Capital IV (“HS IV”). Effective August 2014, we consolidated the financial position and results of operations of the controlled Highstar entities, including HS IV, and accounted for this transaction as a business combination.

Understanding Our Results—Consolidation of Oaktree Funds

GAAP currently requires that we consolidate substantially all of our closed-end, commingled open-end and evergreen funds and CLOs in our financial statements, notwithstanding the fact that our equity investments in those funds do not typically exceed 2.5% of any fund’s interests (or, in the case of CLOs, no more than 10% of the total par value). Please see “—Recent Accounting Developments” under note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for information regarding the recently issued revisions by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to the consolidation guidance. Consolidated funds refer to those funds or CLOs in which we hold a general partner interest that gives us substantive control rights over such funds or for which Oaktree is considered the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). With respect to our consolidated funds, we generally have operational discretion and control over the funds, and investors do not hold any substantive rights that would enable them to impact the funds’ ongoing governance and operating activities. The funds that we manage that were not consolidated, primarily separate accounts, represented 34% of our AUM as of June 30, 2015, and 27% of our segment management fees for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, and 21% and 17% of our segment revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

We do not consolidate OCM/GFI Power Opportunities Fund II and OCM/GFI Power Opportunities Fund II (Cayman) (collectively, “Power Fund II”) because we do not control these funds through a majority voting interest or otherwise. Power Fund II has two general partners—one is an entity controlled by Oaktree and the other is an entity controlled by G3W Ventures LLC (formerly, GFI Energy Ventures LLC), a third-party investment manager. The general partners have equal voting rights; consequently, neither general partner is deemed to individually control these funds.

When a fund is consolidated, we reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the consolidated funds on a gross basis, and the majority of the economic interests in those funds, which are held by third-party investors, are attributed to non-controlling interests in consolidated funds in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All of the revenues earned by us from those funds are eliminated in consolidation. However, because the eliminated amounts are earned from and funded by non-controlling interests, our attributable share of the net income from those funds is increased by the amounts eliminated. Thus, the elimination of those amounts in consolidation has no effect on net income or loss attributable to us.

The elimination of the consolidated funds from our consolidated revenues causes our consolidated revenues to be significantly impacted by fund flows and fluctuations in the market value of our separate accounts because they are not consolidated. Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report includes information regarding our segment on a stand-alone basis. For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affect the results of operations of our segment, please see “—Segment Analysis” below.

Revenues

Our business generates three types of segment revenue: management fees, incentive income and investment income. Management fees are billed monthly or quarterly based on annual rates and are typically earned for each of the funds that we manage. The contractual terms of management fees generally vary by fund structure. Management fees also include performance-based fees earned from certain open-end and evergreen fund accounts. We also have the opportunity to earn incentive income from most of our closed-end funds and certain evergreen funds. Our closed-end funds generally provide that we receive incentive income only after our investors receive the return of all of their contributed capital plus an annual preferred return, typically 8%. Once this occurs, we generally receive as incentive income 80% of all distributions otherwise attributable to our investors, and

53

those investors receive the remaining 20% until we have received, as incentive income, 20% of all such distributions in excess of the contributed capital from the inception of the fund. Thereafter, provided the preferred return continues to be met, all such future distributions attributable to our investors are distributed 80% to those investors and 20% to us as incentive income. Our third segment revenue source, investment income, represents our pro-rata share of income or loss from our investments, generally in our capacity as general partner in our funds and as an investor in our CLOs and third-party managed funds and companies.

Our consolidated revenues reflect the elimination of all management fees, incentive income and investment income earned by us from our consolidated funds. Investment income is presented within the other income (loss) section of our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Please see “Business—Structure and Operation of Our Business—Structure of Funds” in our annual report for a detailed discussion of the structure of our funds.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits reflects all compensation-related items not directly related to incentive income, investment income or the vesting of OCGH and Class A units, including salaries, bonuses, compensation based on management fees or a definition of profits, employee benefits, and phantom equity awards, which represent liability-classified awards subject to vesting and remeasurement at the end of each reporting period. Phantom equity award expense reflects the vesting of those liability-classified awards, the equity distribution declared in the period and changes in the Class A unit trading price.

Equity-based Compensation

Equity-based compensation reflects the non-cash charge associated with grants of Class A units, OCGH units and OCGH equity value units (“EVUs”). While our condensed consolidated financial statements include non-cash compensation expense for units granted both before and after our initial public offering, adjusted net income excludes non-cash equity-based compensation expense for units granted before our initial public offering. Additionally, EVUs that are classified as liability awards in the condensed consolidated financial statements are reflected as equity-classified awards in adjusted net income (please see “—Segment and Operating Metrics—Adjusted Net Income” below). 

As of June 30, 2015, there was $167.0 million and $124.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense for GAAP and segment reporting purposes, respectively, with the difference primarily representing unit grants made before our initial public offering.  The $167.0 million is expected to be recognized as expense in our GAAP condensed consolidated financial statements over a weighted average vesting period of 4.7 years.  The $124.5 million is expected to be recognized as expense in adjusted net income over a weighted average vesting period of approximately 4.6 years, as shown below. These amounts are subject to change as a result of future unit grants and possible modifications to award terms or changes in estimated forfeiture rates.

The following table summarizes the estimated amount of equity-based compensation charges to be included in adjusted net income:

Equity-based Compensation Charges Included in ANI	Last Six Months of 2015		2016		2017		2018		2019		Thereafter		Total
	(in millions)
Estimated charges from grants awarded through June 2015	$	17.4	$	34.3	$	29.6	$	17.7	$	9.1	$	16.4	$	124.5

Incentive Income Compensation

Incentive income compensation expense primarily includes compensation directly related to segment incentive income, which generally consists of percentage interests (sometimes referred to as “points”) that we grant to our investment professionals associated with the particular fund that generated the segment incentive income, and secondarily includes compensation directly related to investment income. There is no fixed percentage for the incentive income-related portion of this compensation, either by fund or strategy. In general, within a particular strategy more recent funds have a higher percentage of aggregate incentive income compensation expense than do older funds. The percentage that consolidated incentive income compensation expense represents of the particular period’s consolidated incentive income is not meaningful because of the fact that most segment incentive income is eliminated in consolidation, whereas no incentive income compensation expense is eliminated in consolidation. For a meaningful percentage relationship, please see “—Segment Analysis” below.

54

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense includes costs related to occupancy, outside auditors, tax professionals, legal advisers, research, consultants, travel and entertainment, communications and information services, foreign exchange activity, insurance and other general items related directly to the Company’s operations and not related to any activities of our funds. These expenses are net of amounts borne by fund investors and are not offset by credits attributable to fund investors’ non-controlling interests in consolidated funds.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense includes costs associated with the purchase of furniture and equipment, capitalized software, leasehold improvements, an airplane and acquired intangibles. Furniture and equipment and capitalized software costs are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is generally three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the respective estimated useful life or the lease term. The airplane is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Acquired intangibles primarily relate to contractual rights and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to seven years.

Consolidated Fund Expenses

Consolidated fund expenses consist primarily of costs, expenses and fees that are incurred by, or arise out of the operation and activities of or otherwise related to, our consolidated funds, including, without limitation, travel expenses, professional fees, research and software expenses, insurance and other costs associated with administering and supporting those funds. Inasmuch as most of these fund expenses are borne by third-party investors, they reduce the investors’ non-controlling interests in consolidated funds.

Other Income (Loss)

Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily reflects the interest expense of the consolidated funds, as well as the interest expense of Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries.

Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income consists of interest and dividend income earned on the investments held by our consolidated funds, the consolidated funds’ net operating income from real estate-related activities and interest income earned by Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries.

Net Realized Gain on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

Net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments consists of realized gains and losses arising from dispositions of investments held by our consolidated funds.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds’ investments reflects both unrealized gains and losses on investments held by our consolidated funds and the reversal upon disposition of investments of unrealized gains and losses previously recognized for those investments.

Investment Income

Investment income represents our pro-rata share of income or loss from our investments, generally in our capacity as general partner in our funds and as an investor in our CLOs and third-party managed funds and companies. Investment income, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, excludes investment income earned by us from our consolidated funds.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net represents non-operating income or expense. In past years, it has typically reflected the operating results of certain properties that were received as part of a 2010 arbitration award. Beginning in the third quarter of 2014, this line item also included income related to amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs associated with certain arrangements made in connection with the Highstar acquisition.

55

Income Taxes

Oaktree is a publicly traded partnership. Because it satisfies the qualifying income test, it is not required to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes; rather it is taxed as a partnership. Oaktree Holdings, Inc. and Oaktree AIF Holdings, Inc., which are two of our five Intermediate Holding Companies and wholly owned subsidiaries, are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. The remainder of Oaktree’s income is generally not subject to corporate-level taxation.

Oaktree’s effective tax rate is directly impacted by the proportion of Oaktree’s income subject to tax compared to income not subject to tax. Oaktree’s non-U.S. income or loss before taxes is generally not significant in relation to total pre-tax income or loss and is generally more predictable because, unlike U.S. pre-tax income, it is not significantly impacted by unrealized gains or losses. Non-U.S. tax expense typically represents a disproportionately large percentage of total income tax expense because nearly all of our non-U.S. income or loss is subject to corporate-level income tax, whereas a substantial portion of our U.S.-based income or loss is not subject to corporate-level taxes. In addition, changes in the proportion of non-U.S. pre-tax income to total pre-tax income impact Oaktree’s effective tax rate to the extent non-U.S. rates differ from the combined U.S. federal and state tax rate.

Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets would be reduced by a valuation allowance if it becomes more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests represents the ownership interests that third parties hold in entities that are consolidated in our financial statements. These interests fall into two categories:

• Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Funds. This represents the economic interests of the unaffiliated investors in the consolidated funds, as well as the equity interests held by third-party investors in CLOs that had not yet priced as of the respective period end. Those interests are primarily driven by the investment performance of the consolidated funds, including CLOs. In comparison to net income, this measure excludes segment results, income taxes, expenses that OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly, the impact of equity-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability; and

• Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries. This primarily represents the economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group owned by OCGH (“OCGH non-controlling interest”), as well as the economic interest in certain consolidated subsidiaries held by certain related parties and other third parties. The OCGH non-controlling interest is determined at the Oaktree Operating Group level based on the weighted average proportionate share of Oaktree Operating Group units held by the OCGH unitholders. Inasmuch as the number of outstanding Oaktree Operating Group units corresponds with the total number of outstanding OCGH units and Class A units, changes in the economic interest held by the OCGH unitholders are driven by our additional issuances of OCGH units and our issuance, if any, of additional Class A units, as well as repurchases and forfeitures of OCGH units and Class A units. Certain of our expenses, such as income tax and related administrative expenses of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and its Intermediate Holding Companies, are solely attributable to the Class A unitholders. Please see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for additional information on the economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group owned by OCGH.

Segment and Operating Metrics

Our business is comprised of one segment, our investment management segment, which consists of the investment management services that we provide to our clients. Management makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of our business based on financial and operating metrics and data that are presented without the consolidation of any funds. For a detailed reconciliation of the segment results of operations to our condensed consolidated statements of operations, please see “—Segment Analysis” below and the “Segment Reporting” note to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. The data most important to our chief operating decision maker in assessing our performance are adjusted net

56

income, adjusted net income-OCG, distributable earnings, distributable earnings-OCG, fee-related earnings and fee-related earnings-OCG.

We monitor certain operating metrics that are either common to the alternative asset management industry or that we believe provide important data regarding our business. As described below, these operating metrics include assets under management, management fee-generating assets under management, incentive-creating assets under management, accrued incentives (fund level), incentives created (fund level) and uncalled capital commitments.

Adjusted Net Income

Our chief operating decision maker uses adjusted net income (“ANI”) as a tool to help evaluate the financial performance of, and make resource allocations and other operating decisions for, our investment management segment. The components of revenues and expenses used in the determination of ANI do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. Segment revenues include investment income (loss) that is classified in other income (loss) in the GAAP-basis statements of operations. Segment revenues and expenses also reflect Oaktree’s proportionate economic interest in Highstar, whereby amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs are included with segment expenses, as compared to being recorded as other income under GAAP. In addition, ANI excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) acquisition-related items including amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability, (c) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes, (d) income taxes, (e) other income or expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (f) the adjustment for non-controlling interests. Incentive income and incentive income compensation expense are included in ANI when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, which may be later than the time at which the same revenue or expense is included in the GAAP-basis statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is fixed or determinable and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. ANI is calculated at the Operating Group level.

Among other factors, our accounting policy for recognizing incentive income and the inclusion of non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering will likely make our calculation of ANI not directly comparable to economic net income (“ENI”) or other similarly named measures of certain other asset managers.

We calculate adjusted net income-OCG, or adjusted net income per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of ANI attributable to their ownership. Adjusted net income-OCG represents ANI including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) other income or expenses, such as income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) any Oaktree Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. Two of our Intermediate Holding Companies incur U.S. federal and state income taxes for their share of Operating Group income. Generally, those two corporate entities hold an interest in the Operating Group’s management fee-generating assets and a small portion of its incentive and investment income-generating assets. As a result, historically our fee-related earnings generally have been subject to corporate-level taxation, and most of our incentive income and investment income generally has not been subject to corporate-level taxation. Thus, the blended effective tax rate has generally tended to be higher to the extent that fee-related earnings represented a larger proportion of our ANI. Myriad other factors affect income tax expense and the effective tax rate, and there can be no assurance that this historical relationship will continue going forward.

Distributable Earnings

Our chief operating decision maker uses distributable earnings as a tool to help evaluate the financial performance of, and make resource allocations and other operating decisions for, our segment. Distributable earnings is a non-GAAP performance measure derived from our segment results that we use to measure our earnings at the Operating Group level without the effects of the consolidated funds for the purpose of, among other things, assisting in the determination of equity distributions from the Operating Group. However, the declaration, payment and determination of the amount of equity distributions, if any, is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, which may change our distribution policy at any time.

Distributable earnings differs from ANI in that it excludes segment investment income or loss and includes the receipt of investment income or loss from distributions by our investments in funds and companies. In addition,

57

distributable earnings differs from ANI in that it is net of Operating Group income taxes and excludes non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering.

Segment investment income or loss, which for equity-method investments represents our pro-rata share of income or loss, generally in our capacity as general partner in our funds and as an investor in our CLOs and third-party managed funds and companies, is largely non-cash in nature. By excluding segment investment income or loss, which is not directly available to fund our operations or make equity distributions, and including the portion of distributions from Oaktree and non-Oaktree funds to us that represents the income or loss component of the distributions and not a return of our capital contributions, as well as distributions from our investments in companies, distributable earnings aids us in measuring amounts that are actually available to meet our obligations under the tax receivable agreement and our liabilities for expenses incurred at OCG and the Intermediate Holding Companies, as well as for distributions to Class A and OCGH unitholders.

Distributable earnings-OCG, or distributable earnings per Class A unit, is a non-GAAP measure calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of distributable earnings attributable to their ownership. Distributable earnings-OCG represents distributable earnings including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) expenses, such as current income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) amounts payable under the tax receivable agreement. The income tax expense included in distributable earnings-OCG represents the implied current provision for income taxes calculated using an approach similar to that which is used in calculating the income tax provision for adjusted net income-OCG.

Fee-related Earnings

Fee-related earnings is a non-GAAP measure that we use to monitor the baseline earnings of our business. Fee-related earnings is comprised of segment management fees less segment operating expenses other than incentive income compensation expense and non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering. Fee-related earnings is considered baseline because it applies all cash compensation and benefits other than incentive income compensation expense, as well as all general and administrative expenses, to management fees, even though a significant portion of those expenses is attributable to incentive and investment income, and because it excludes all non-management fee revenue sources (such as earnings from our minority equity interest in DoubleLine Capital LP and its affiliates (collectively, “DoubleLine”)). Fee-related earnings is presented before income taxes.

Fee-related earnings-OCG, or fee-related earnings per Class A unit, is a non-GAAP measure calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of fee-related earnings attributable to their ownership. Fee-related earnings-OCG represents fee-related earnings including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) other income or expenses, such as income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. Fee-related earnings-OCG income taxes are calculated excluding any segment incentive income or investment income (loss).

Among other factors, the exclusion of non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering may make our calculations of fee-related earnings and fee-related earnings-OCG not directly comparable to similarly named measures of other asset managers.

Assets Under Management

AUM generally refers to the assets we manage and equals the NAV of the assets we manage, the fund-level leverage on which management fees are charged, the undrawn capital that we are entitled to call from investors in our funds pursuant to their capital commitments and the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by our CLOs. Our AUM includes amounts for which we charge no fees. Our definition of AUM is not based on any definition contained in our operating agreement or the agreements governing the funds that we manage. Our calculation of AUM and the two AUM-related metrics below may not be directly comparable to the AUM metrics of other asset managers.

• Management Fee-generating Assets Under Management.Management fee-generating AUM is a forward-looking metric and reflects the AUM on which we will earn management fees in the following quarter. Our closed-end funds typically pay management fees based on committed capital or drawn capital during the investment period, without regard to changes in NAV, and during the liquidation period on the lesser of (a) total funded capital or (b) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund. The annual management fee rate remains unchanged from the investment period through the liquidation period. Our open-end and evergreen funds typically pay management fees based on their NAV, and

58

our CLOs pay management fees based on the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by them, as defined in the applicable CLO indentures.

• Incentive-creating Assets Under Management. Incentive-creating AUM refers to the AUM that may eventually produce incentive income. It represents the NAV of our funds for which we are entitled to receive an incentive allocation, excluding CLOs and investments made by us and our employees and directors (which are not subject to an incentive allocation). All funds for which we are entitled to receive an incentive allocation are included in incentive-creating AUM, regardless of whether or not they are currently generating incentives. Incentive-creating AUM does not include undrawn capital commitments.

Accrued Incentives (Fund Level) and Incentives Created (Fund Level)

Our funds record as accrued incentives the incentive income that would be paid to us if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of the date of the financial statements. Incentives created (fund level) refers to the gross amount of potential incentives generated by the funds during the period. We refer to the amount of incentive income recognized as revenue by us as segment incentive income. Amounts recognized by us as incentive income are no longer included in accrued incentives (fund level), the term we use for remaining fund-level accruals. The amount of incentives created may fluctuate substantially as a result of changes in the fair value of the underlying investments of the fund, as well as incentives created in excess of our typical 20% share due to catch-up allocations for applicable closed-end funds. Generally speaking, while in the catch-up layer, approximately 80% of any increase or decrease, respectively, in the fund’s NAV results in a commensurate amount of positive or negative incentives created (fund level).

The same performance and market risks inherent in incentives created (fund level) affect the ability to ultimately realize accrued incentives (fund level). One consequence of the accounting method we follow for incentives created (fund level) is that accrued incentives (fund level) is an off-balance sheet metric, rather than being an on-balance sheet receivable that could require reduction if fund performance suffers. We track accrued incentives (fund level) because it provides an indication of potential future value, though the timing and ultimate realization of that value are uncertain.

Incentives created (fund level), incentive income and accrued incentives (fund level) are presented gross, without deduction for direct compensation expense that is owed to our investment professionals associated with the particular fund when we earn the incentive income. We call that charge “incentive income compensation expense.” Incentive income compensation expense varies by the investment strategy and vintage of the particular fund, among many other factors. In addition to incentive income compensation expense, the magnitude of the annual cash bonus pool is indirectly affected by the level of incentive income, net of its associated incentive income compensation expense. The total charge related to the annual cash bonus pool, including the portion attributable to our incentive income, is reflected in the financial statement line item “compensation and benefits.”

Incentives created (fund level) often reflects investments measured at fair value and therefore is subject to risk of substantial fluctuation by the time the underlying investments are liquidated. We earn the incentive income, if any, that the fund is then obligated to pay us with respect to our incentive interest (generally 20%) in the profits of our unaffiliated investors, subject to an annual preferred return of typically 8%. Although GAAP currently allows the equivalent of incentives created (fund level) to be recognized as revenue by us under Method 2, we follow the Method 1 approach offered by GAAP. Our use of Method 1 reduces by a substantial degree the possibility that revenue recognized by us would be reversed in a subsequent period. For purposes of adjusted net income and distributable earnings, we recognize incentive income when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, as opposed to the fixed or determinable standard of Method 1. We track incentives created (fund level) because it provides an indication of the value for us currently being created by our investment activities and facilitates comparability with those companies in our industry that utilize the alternative accrual-based Method 2 for recognizing incentive income in their financial statements.

Uncalled Capital Commitments

Uncalled capital commitments represent undrawn capital commitments by partners (including Oaktree as general partner) of our closed-end funds through their investment periods and certain evergreen funds. If a closed-end fund distributes capital during its investment period, that capital is typically subject to possible recall, in which case it is included in uncalled capital commitments.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenues

Management Fees

Management fees decreased $0.7 million, or 1.4%, to $50.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $51.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease reflected lower advisory, director, transaction and certain other ancillary fees for the benefit of our consolidated funds, partially offset by higher fees earned across non-consolidated funds and accounts. We reduce our management fees by the amount of advisory and other ancillary fees so that our funds’ investors share pro rata in the economic benefit of the ancillary fees. Thus, in our consolidated financial statements, these ancillary fees are treated as being attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidated funds and have no impact on the net income attributable to OCG.

60

Incentive Income

Incentive income was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and zero for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The current-year income was attributable to the unconsolidated Power Fund II.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits increased $15.1 million, or 16.3%, to $107.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $92.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase primarily reflected growth in headcount, including from the Highstar acquisition. The current and prior-year quarters included a $1.2 million expense and a $2.0 million benefit, respectively, associated with our phantom equity awards, stemming from each period’s equity distribution and change in the Class A unit trading price.

Equity-based Compensation

Equity-based compensation expense increased $5.6 million, or 53.3%, to $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting non-cash amortization expense associated with vesting of restricted unit grants made to employees and directors subsequent to our initial public offering in 2012.

Incentive Income Compensation

Incentive income compensation expense decreased $1.1 million, or 3.0%, to $35.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $36.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Incentive income compensation expense declined while segment incentive income increased, primarily due to differences in the applicable compensation percentages.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased $1.8 million, or 5.7%, to $33.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $31.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Because segment investment income earned from our investments in consolidated funds is eliminated in consolidation, gains or losses associated with foreign currency hedges used to economically hedge our non-U.S. dollar denominated investments in consolidated funds are included in general and administrative expense. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, general and administrative expense increased $0.1 million, or 0.3%, to $33.3 million from $33.2 million.

Consolidated Fund Expenses

Consolidated fund expenses increased $7.9 million, or 18.6%, to $50.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $42.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase reflected higher professional fees and other costs related to managing the funds.

Other Income (Loss)

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $27.0 million, or 105.1%, to $52.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase reflected higher outstanding borrowings on the credit facilities of our consolidated funds and debt issued by our CLOs.

Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income increased $194.2 million, or 68.4%, to $478.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $284.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase reflected higher interest income from Distressed Debt and Senior Loan funds, as well as special dividends received from portfolio companies by certain of our closed-end funds in the current-year period.

Net Realized Gain on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

Net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments increased $343.3 million, or 66.8%, to $857.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $514.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The net realized gain in the current-year period primarily reflected gains by Distressed Debt, European Principal Investing and Real Estate funds. The net realized gain in the prior-year period primarily reflected gains by Principal Investing funds.

61

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds’ investments was a loss of $1,418.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to a gain of $699.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Excluding the $343.3 million increase in net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds’ investments was a net loss of $560.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to a net gain of $1,214.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The net loss in the current-year period primarily reflected losses by Distressed Debt funds. The net gain in the prior-year period primarily reflected gains by Distressed Debt, Principal Investing and Real Estate funds.

Investment Income

Investment income increased $11.3 million, or 256.8%, to $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase reflected higher income of $9.2 million from our investments in companies and $2.1 million from our investments in funds. Our one-fifth ownership stake in DoubleLine accounted for investment income of $12.5 million and $10.6 million in the current and prior-year periods, respectively, of which performance fees accounted for $0.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was income of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and income of $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The income of $2.9 million in the current-year period primarily reflected amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs associated with the Highstar acquisition, partially offset by losses associated with certain non-operating corporate activities.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased $0.3 million, or 5.2%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The percentage decrease in income taxes was smaller than the 32% decline in income applicable to Class A unitholders, primarily as a result of a higher effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The effective tax rates applicable to Class A unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 19% and 14%, respectively, resulting from estimated full-year effective rates of 17% and 12%, respectively.  The 19% effective tax rate applicable to Class A unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was based on an estimated full-year effective tax rate on income that can be reliably forecasted combined with the actual tax expense in the current period on income that cannot be reliably estimated, such as incentive income. We would expect variability between quarters and for the full year because the effective tax rate is a function of the mix of income and other factors that often vary significantly within or between years, each of which can have a material impact on the particular year’s income tax expense.  Please see “—Understanding Our Results—Consolidation of Oaktree Funds.”

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Funds

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidated funds was a loss of $392.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to income of $1,184.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The current-year loss primarily reflected net losses on investments, partially offset by interest and dividend income. The prior-year income primarily reflected net gains on investments and interest and dividend income. These effects are described in more detail under “—Other Income (Loss)” above.

Net Income Attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC

Net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC decreased $11.4 million, or 36.5%, to $19.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower segment profits, partially offset by a larger allocation of income to OCG as a result of an increase in the average number of Class A units outstanding during each period.

62

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenues

Management Fees

Management fees increased $9.7 million, or 10.5%, to $101.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $92.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase primarily reflected higher fees earned across non-consolidated funds and accounts, partially offset by lower advisory, director, transaction and certain other ancillary fees for the benefit of our consolidated funds. We reduce our management fees by the amount of advisory and other ancillary fees so that our funds’ investors share pro rata in the economic benefit of the ancillary fees. Thus, in our consolidated financial statements, these ancillary fees are treated as being attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidated funds and have no impact on the net income attributable to OCG.

Incentive Income

Incentive income was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and zero for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The current-year income was attributable to the unconsolidated Power Fund II.

Expenses

The increase primarily reflected growth in headcount, including the Highstar acquisition. The current and prior-year periods included a $1.6 million expense and a $1.7 million benefit, respectively, associated with our phantom equity awards, stemming from each period’s equity distributions and change in the Class A unit trading price.

Equity-based Compensation

Equity-based compensation expense increased $8.1 million, or 41.1%, to $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting non-cash amortization expense associated with vesting of restricted unit grants made to employees and directors subsequent to our initial public offering in 2012.

Incentive Income Compensation

Incentive income compensation expense decreased $25.7 million, or 20.1%, to $102.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $127.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The percentage decrease was smaller than the corresponding decrease of 39.2% in segment incentive income, primarily due to timing differences associated with the recognition of segment incentive income and incentive income compensation expense, as well as catch-up tax distributions related to incentive interests awarded to certain investment professionals in 2014.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense decreased $23.8 million, or 37.2%, to $40.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $63.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Because segment investment income earned from our investments in consolidated funds is eliminated in consolidation, gains or losses associated with foreign currency hedges used to economically hedge our non-U.S. dollar denominated investments in consolidated funds are included in general and administrative expense. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, general and administrative expense decreased $0.4 million, or 0.6%, to $64.7 million from $65.1 million.

Consolidated Fund Expenses

Consolidated fund expenses increased $20.5 million, or 30.3%, to $88.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $67.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase reflected higher professional fees and other costs related to managing the funds.

The increase reflected higher outstanding borrowings on the credit facilities of our consolidated funds and debt issued by our CLOs.

63

Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income increased $355.0 million, or 54.9%, to $1,001.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $646.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase reflected higher interest income from Distressed Debt and Senior Loan funds, as well as special dividends received from portfolio companies by certain of our closed-end funds in the current-year period.

Net Realized Gain on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

Net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments increased $164.1 million, or 14.0%, to $1,332.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $1,168.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The net realized gain in the current-year period primarily reflected gains by Distressed Debt, European Principal Investing and Real Estate funds. The net realized gain in the prior-year period primarily reflected gains by Principal Investing and Distressed Debt funds.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds’ investments was a loss of $910.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to a gain of $1,470.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Excluding the $164.1 million increase in net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments, the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds’ investments decreased $2,217.2 million, or 84.0%, to $421.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $2,638.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The net gain in the current-year period primarily reflected gains by European Principal Investing and Real Estate funds, partially offset by losses by Distressed Debt funds. The net gain in the prior-year period primarily reflected gains by Distressed Debt, Principal Investing and Real Estate funds.

Investment Income

Investment income increased $19.0 million, or 202.1%, to $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase reflected higher income of $15.8 million from our investments in companies and $3.2 million from our investments in funds. DoubleLine accounted for investment income of $27.1 million and $20.2 million in the current and prior-year periods, respectively, of which performance fees accounted for $2.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

The income of $7.6 million in the current-year period primarily reflected amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs associated with the Highstar acquisition, partially offset by losses associated with certain non-operating corporate activities. The expense of $1.7 million in the prior-year period primarily reflected a $3.0 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the refinancing of our corporate credit facility, partially offset by $1.5 million of income attributable to proceeds received as part of a 2010 arbitration award.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased $0.3 million, or 2.2%, to $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The percentage decrease in income taxes was smaller than the 26% decline in income applicable to Class A unitholders, primarily as a result of a higher effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The effective tax rates applicable to Class A unitholders for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 17% and 12%, respectively.  The 17% effective tax rate applicable to Class A unitholders for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was based on an estimated full-year effective tax rate on income that can be reliably forecasted combined with the actual tax expense in the current period on income that cannot be reliably estimated, such as incentive income. We would expect variability between quarters and for the full year because the effective tax rate is a function of the mix of income and other factors that often vary significantly within or between years, each of which can have a material impact on the particular year’s income tax expense.  Please see “—Understanding Our Results—Consolidation of Oaktree Funds.”

(1) Our business is comprised of one segment, our investment management segment, which consists of the investment management services that we provide to our clients. The components of revenues and expenses used in determining adjusted net income do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. Segment revenues include investment income (loss) that is classified in other income (loss) in the GAAP-basis statements of operations. Segment revenues and expenses also reflect Oaktree’s proportionate economic interest in Highstar, whereby amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs are included with segment expenses, as compared to being recorded as other income under GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) acquisition-related items including amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability, (c) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes, (d) income taxes, (e) other income or expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (f) the adjustment for non-controlling interests. Incentive income and incentive income compensation expense are included in adjusted net income when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, which may be later than the time at which the same revenue or expense is included in the GAAP-basis statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is fixed or determinable and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. Adjusted net income is calculated at the Operating Group level. For a detailed description of our segment and operating metrics, please see “—Segment and Operating Metrics” above.

(2) Interest income was $1.2 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $2.2 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Operating Metrics

We monitor certain operating metrics that are either common to the alternative asset management industry or that we believe provide important data regarding our business. These operating metrics include AUM, management fee-generating AUM, incentive-creating AUM, incentives created (fund level), accrued incentives (fund level) and uncalled capital commitments.

(1) These amounts represent capital commitments to funds that pay fees based on committed capital, as well as the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash related to new CLO formations.

(2) These amounts represent the change for funds that pay fees based on the lesser of funded capital or cost basis during the liquidation period, as well as recallable distributions at the end of the investment period. For most closed-end funds, management fees are charged during the liquidation period on the lesser of (a) total

69

funded capital or (b) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund, with the cost basis of assets generally calculated by excluding cash balances. Thus, changes in fee basis during the liquidation period are not dependent on distributions made from the fund; rather, they are tied to the cost basis of the fund’s investments, which generally declines as the fund sells assets.

(3) These amounts represent distributions by funds that pay fees based on NAV, as well as reductions in the par value of collateral assets and principal cash resulting from the repayment of debt as return of principal by CLOs.

(4) The change in market value reflects certain funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable, as well as changes in the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by CLOs resulting from other activities.

As compared with AUM, management fee-generating AUM generally excludes the following:

• Differences between AUM and either committed capital or cost basis for most closed-end funds, other than for closed-end funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable;

• Undrawn capital commitments to closed-end funds that have not yet commenced their investment periods;

• Undrawn capital commitments to funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV;

• The investments we make in our funds as general partner;

• Closed-end funds that are beyond the term during which they pay management fees and co-investments that pay no management fees; and

• AUM in restructured and liquidating evergreen funds for which management fees were waived.

A reconciliation of AUM to management fee-generating AUM is set forth below:

(1) This adjustment characterizes a portion of the distributions received from funds as receipts of investment income or loss. In general, the income or loss component of a fund distribution is calculated by multiplying the amount of the distribution by the ratio of our investment’s undistributed income or loss to our remaining investment balance. In addition, if the distribution is made during the investment period, it is generally not reflected in distributable earnings until after the investment period ends.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Distributable earnings declined $5.0 million, or 4.3%, to $111.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $116.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a $9.8 million decrease in fee-related earnings, partially offset by a $6.9 million increase in investment income proceeds. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, investment income proceeds totaled $38.4 million, including $30.2 million from fund distributions and $8.2 million from DoubleLine, as compared with total investment income proceeds in the prior-year period of $31.5 million, of which $22.9 million and $8.6 million was attributable to fund distributions and DoubleLine, respectively.

(1) This adjustment adds back our segment investment income, which with respect to investment in funds is initially largely non-cash in nature and is thus not available to fund our operations or make equity distributions.

(2) This adjustment eliminates the portion of distributions received from funds characterized as receipts of investment income or loss. In general, the income or loss component of a distribution from a fund is calculated by multiplying the amount of the distribution by the ratio of our investment’s undistributed income or loss to our remaining investment balance. In addition, if the distribution is made during the investment period, it is generally not reflected in distributable earnings until after the investment period ends.

(3) This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering, which is excluded from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations or make equity distributions.

(4) This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences associated with the recognition of incentive income and incentive income compensation expense between adjusted net income and net income attributable to OCG.

(5) This adjustment adds back the effect of (a) equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income because it does not affect our financial position and from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund operations or make equity distributions, and (b) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes.

(6) This adjustment adds back the effect of acquisition-related items associated with the amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability.

76

(7) Because adjusted net income and distributable earnings are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.

(8) Because adjusted net income and distributable earnings are calculated at the Operating Group level, this adjustment adds back the effect of items applicable to OCG, its Intermediate Holding Companies or non-controlling interests.

(1) Distributable earnings-OCG and adjusted net income-OCG are calculated to evaluate the portion of adjusted net income and distributable earnings attributable to Class A unitholders. These measures are net of income taxes and expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies.

(2) This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges attributable to OCG related to unit grants made after our initial public offering, which is excluded from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations or make equity distributions.

(3) This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences associated with the recognition of incentive income and incentive income compensation expense attributable to OCG between adjusted net income-OCG and net income attributable to OCG.

(4) This adjustment adds back the effect of (a) equity-based compensation charges attributable to OCG related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income because it does not affect our financial position and from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations or make equity distributions, and (b) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP, but classified as equity awards for segment reporting purposes.

(5) This adjustment adds back the effect of (a) acquisition-related items associated with the amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability and (b) non-controlling interests.

Segment Revenues

Management Fees

A summary of management fees is set forth below:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014
	(in thousands)
Management Fees:
Closed-end funds	$	124,508	$	132,256
Open-end funds	46,577		43,544
Evergreen funds	14,473		13,319
Total	$	185,558	$	189,119

Management fees decreased $3.5 million, or 1.9%, to $185.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $189.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, for the reasons described below.

• Closed-end funds.    Management fees attributable to closed-end funds decreased $7.8 million, or 5.9%, to $124.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $132.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decline reflected an aggregate decrease of $19.6 million primarily among closed-end funds in liquidation, partially offset by $5.8 million attributable to the Highstar acquisition, $4.0 million from closed-end funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV and $1.6 million from CLOs.

• Open-end funds.    Management fees attributable to open-end funds increased $3.1 million, or 7.1%, to $46.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $43.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily as a result of net inflows to Emerging Markets Equities.

• Evergreen funds.    Management fees attributable to evergreen funds increased $1.2 million, or 9.0%, to $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting drawdowns of capital commitments by Strategic Credit and Value Equities. The period-end weighted average annual management fee rate for evergreen funds decreased to 1.49% as of June 30, 2015, from 1.57% as of June 30, 2014, largely as a result of Strategic Credit, for which the average management fee rate is lower than 1.57%.

Incentive Income

A summary of incentive income is set forth below:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014
	(in thousands)
Incentive Income:
Closed-end funds	$	61,148	$	58,405
Evergreen funds	—		793
Total	$	61,148	$	59,198

Total investment income	$	23,365		$	54,199

Investment income decreased $30.8 million, or 56.8%, to $23.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $54.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting lower overall returns from our fund investments, amid generally weaker financial markets. Our one-fifth ownership stake in DoubleLine accounted for investment income of $12.5 million and $10.6 million in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively, of which performance fees accounted for $0.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Segment Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits increased $11.2 million, or 12.1%, to $103.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $92.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase primarily reflected growth in headcount, including the Highstar acquisition. The current and prior-year periods included a $1.2 million expense and a $2.0 million benefit, respectively, associated with our phantom equity awards, stemming from each period’s equity distribution and change in the Class A unit trading price.

Equity-based Compensation

Equity-based compensation increased $6.8 million, or 133.3%, to $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting non-cash amortization expense associated with vesting of restricted unit grants made to employees and directors subsequent to our initial public offering in 2012.

Incentive Income Compensation

Incentive income compensation expense decreased $0.5 million, or 1.7%, to $29.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $30.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Incentive income compensation expense declined while incentive income increased, primarily due to differences in the applicable compensation percentages.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense decreased $5.1 million, or 16.4%, to $26.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $31.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, which stemmed primarily from foreign currency hedges used to economically hedge our non-U.S. dollar denominated management fees and expenses, general and administrative expense decreased $2.3 million, or 7.0%, to $30.4 million from $32.7 million.

Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income

Interest expense, net increased $1.9 million, or 27.5%, to $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting the senior notes issued in September 2014.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was an expense of $2.7 million and income of $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The current-year period primarily reflected losses associated with certain non-operating corporate activities.

Adjusted Net Income

ANI decreased $49.4 million, or 36.7%, to $85.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $134.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting decreases of $30.8 million in investment income and $9.8 million in fee-related earnings.

Income Taxes-OCG

Income taxes decreased $0.2 million, or 4.0%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The percentage decrease was smaller than the decline in adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes primarily due to a higher effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The effective tax rates applied to ANI for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 18% and 13%, respectively, resulting from full-year effective rates of 17% and 11%, respectively.  The 18% effective tax rate applied to ANI for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was based on an estimated full-year effective tax rate on income that can be reliably forecasted combined with the actual tax expense in the current period on income that cannot be reliably estimated, such as incentive income. We would expect variability between quarters and for the full year because the effective tax rate is a function of the mix of income and other factors that often vary significantly within or between years, each of which can have a material impact on the particular year’s income tax expense. 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Segment Revenues

Management Fees

A summary of management fees is set forth below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014
	(in thousands)
Management Fees:
Closed-end funds	$	254,110	$	269,294
Open-end funds	91,018		83,198
Evergreen funds	28,480		25,027
Total	$	373,608	$	377,519

Management fees decreased $3.9 million, or 1.0%, to $373.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $377.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, for the reasons described below.

• Closed-end funds.    Management fees attributable to closed-end funds decreased $15.2 million, or 5.6%, to $254.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $269.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease reflected an aggregate decline of $37.5 million primarily among closed-end funds in liquidation, partially offset by $12.1 million attributable to the Highstar acquisition, $6.8 million from closed-end funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV and $3.4 million from CLOs.

83

• Open-end funds.    Management fees attributable to open-end funds increased $7.8 million, or 9.4%, to $91.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $83.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily as a result of net inflows to Emerging Markets Equities.

• Evergreen funds.    Management fees attributable to evergreen funds increased $3.5 million, or 14.0%, to $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting drawdowns of capital commitments by Strategic Credit and Value Equities. The period-end weighted average annual management fee rate for evergreen funds decreased to 1.49% as of June 30, 2015, from 1.57% as of June 30, 2014, largely as a result of Strategic Credit, for which the average management fee rate is lower than 1.57%.

Incentive Income

A summary of incentive income is set forth below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014
	(in thousands)
Incentive Income:
Closed-end funds	$	214,027	$	351,235
Evergreen funds	—		839
Total	$	214,027	$	352,074

Incentive income decreased $138.1 million, or 39.2%, to $214.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $352.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Tax-related incentive distributions with respect to 2014 taxable income generated by closed-end funds not yet paying incentives accounted for $129.4 million of the$214.0 million in the current-year period, down from a corresponding $219.7 million of the prior-year period’s $352.1 million. Of the remaining $84.6 million and $132.4 million for the current and prior-year periods, respectively, Opps VIIb accounted for $59.0 million and $96.7 million.

Investment Income

A summary of investment income is set forth below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
Income (loss) from investments in funds:	(in thousands)
Oaktree funds:
Corporate Debt	$	16,013		$	17,164
Convertible Securities	1,011			939
Distressed Debt	(4,712		)	39,193

Investment income decreased $23.9 million, or 23.7%, to $76.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $100.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting lower overall returns from our fund investments. DoubleLine accounted for investment income of $27.1 million and $20.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, of which performance fees accounted for $2.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

Segment Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits increased $18.8 million, or 9.9%, to $209.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $190.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase primarily reflected growth in headcount, including the Highstar acquisition. The current and prior-year periods included a $1.6 million expense and a $1.7 million benefit, respectively, associated with our phantom equity awards, stemming from each period’s equity distributions and change in the Class A unit trading price.

Equity-based Compensation

Equity-based compensation increased $9.8 million, or 107.7%, to $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting non-cash amortization expense associated with vesting of restricted unit grants made to employees and directors subsequent to our initial public offering in 2012.

Incentive Income Compensation

Incentive income compensation expense decreased $48.3 million, or 28.8%, to $119.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $168.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The percentage decrease was smaller than the corresponding decline of 39.2% in incentive income, primarily as a result of catch-up tax distributions related to incentive interests awarded to certain investment professionals in 2014.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense decreased $11.4 million, or 18.5%, to $50.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $61.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, which stemmed primarily from foreign currency hedges used to economically hedge our non-U.S. dollar denominated management fees and expenses, general and administrative expense decreased $5.0 million, or 7.8%, to $59.4 million from $64.4 million.

Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income

Interest expense, net increased $4.1 million, or 30.1%, to $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting the senior notes issued in September 2014.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net were expenses of $3.5 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The current-year period primarily reflected losses associated with certain non-operating corporate activities. The prior-year period reflected a $3.0 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the refinancing of our corporate credit facility, partially offset by $1.5 million of income attributable to proceeds received as part of a 2010 arbitration award.

Adjusted Net Income

ANI decreased $141.0 million, or 36.9%, to $240.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $381.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily reflecting decreases of $89.7 million in net incentive income, $23.9 million in investment income and $11.6 million in fee-related earnings.

Income Taxes-OCG

Income taxes increased $0.5 million, or 4.4%, to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Income taxes increased, despite the fact that adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes declined, primarily due to a higher effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The effective tax rates applied to ANI for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 17% and 11%, respectively.  The 17% effective tax rate applied to ANI for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was based on an estimated full-year effective tax rate on income that can be reliably forecasted combined with the actual tax expense in the current period on income that cannot be reliably estimated, such as incentive income. We would expect variability between quarters and for the full year because the effective tax rate is a function of the mix

of income and other factors that often vary significantly within or between years, each of which can have a material impact on the particular year’s income tax expense. 

Segment Statements of Financial Condition

Since our founding, we have managed our financial condition in a way that builds our capital base and maintains sufficient liquidity for known and anticipated uses of cash. We have issued debt largely to help fund our corporate investments in funds and companies, favoring longer terms to better match the multi-year nature of our typical investment. Our segment assets do not include accrued incentives (fund level), an off-balance sheet metric, nor do they reflect the fair-market value of our 20% interest in DoubleLine, which is carried at cost, as adjusted under the equity method of accounting. For a reconciliation of segment total assets to our consolidated total assets, please see the “Segment Reporting” note to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We manage our liquidity and capital requirements by focusing on our cash flows before the consolidation of our funds and the effect of normal changes in short-term assets and liabilities. Our primary cash flow activities on an unconsolidated basis involve (a) generating cash flow from operations, (b) generating income from investment activities, including strategic investments in certain third parties, (c) funding capital commitments that we have made to our funds, (d) funding our growth initiatives, (e) distributing cash flow to our owners and (f) borrowings, interest payments and repayments under credit agreements, our senior notes and other borrowing arrangements. As of June 30, 2015, we had $1.0 billion of cash and U.S. Treasury securities and $850 million in outstanding debt. Additionally, we have a $500 million revolving credit facility available to us, which was undrawn as of June 30, 2015. Oaktree’s investments in funds and companies had a carrying value of $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2015.

Ongoing sources of cash, or distributable earnings, include (a) management fees, which are collected monthly or quarterly, (b) incentive income, which is volatile and largely unpredictable as to amount and timing, and (c) distributions related to our corporate investments in funds and companies. As of June 30, 2015, corporate investments of $1.6 billion included unrealized investment income proceeds of $357 million, of which $179 million was in closed-end funds in their liquidation period. We primarily use cash flow from operations and distributions from our corporate investments to pay compensation and related expenses, general and administrative expenses, income taxes, debt service, capital expenditures and distributions. This same cash flow, together with proceeds from equity and debt issuances, is also used to fund corporate investments, fixed assets and other capital items. If cash flow from operations were insufficient to fund distributions, we expect that we would suspend paying such distributions.

We use distributable earnings, which is derived from our segment results, to assess performance and assist in the determination of equity distributions from the Operating Group. Our quarterly distributable earnings may be affected by potential seasonal factors that may, in turn, affect the level of the cash distributions applicable to a particular quarter. For example, we generally receive tax-related incentive distributions from certain closed-end funds in the first quarter of the year, which if received generate distributable earnings in that period. Additionally, DoubleLine’s corporate distributions to us may vary in length of period covered.  For example, the quarterly distributions made in the second and fourth quarters typically have covered two and four months of activity, respectively. The distribution amount for any given period is likely to vary materially due to these and other factors.

Tax distributions are not required in respect of the Class A units and are only required from the Oaktree Operating Group entities if and to the extent that there is sufficient cash available for distribution. Accordingly, if there were insufficient cash flow from operations to fund quarterly or tax distributions by the Oaktree Operating Group entities, we expect that these distributions would not be made. We believe that we have sufficient access to cash from existing balances, our operations and the revolving credit facility described below to fund our operations and commitments.

87

Consolidated Cash Flows

The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows include our consolidated funds, despite the fact that we typically have only a minority economic interest in those funds. The assets of consolidated funds, on a gross basis, are substantially larger than the assets of our business and, accordingly, have a substantial effect on the cash flows reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The primary cash flow activities of our consolidated funds involve:

• raising capital from third-party investors;

• using the capital provided by us and third-party investors to fund investments and operating expenses;

• financing certain investments with indebtedness;

• generating cash flows through the realization of investments, as well as the collection of interest and dividend income; and

• distributing net cash flows to fund investors and to us.

Because most of our consolidated funds are treated as investment companies for accounting purposes, their investing cash flow amounts are included in our cash flows from operations. We believe that each of the consolidated funds and Oaktree has sufficient access to cash to fund their respective operations in the near term.

Significant amounts from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are discussed below.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.3 billion and $2.4 billion in the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts included, for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, (a) net purchases of securities of the consolidated funds of $1.6 billion and $2.7 billion; (b) net realized gains on investments of the consolidated funds of $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion; and (c) changes in unrealized depreciation on investments of the consolidated funds of $0.9 billion and unrealized appreciation of $1.5 billion.

Investing Activities

Investing activities used $39.3 million and provided $249.0 million of cash in the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Investing activities were primarily driven by net U.S. Treasury investment activities. Net activity from purchases, maturities and sales of U.S. Treasury securities included net purchases of $25.7 million and net proceeds of $271.5 million for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Corporate investments in funds and companies of $40.4 million and $22.5 million for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, consisted of the following:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
	(in thousands)
Funds	$	174,237		$	324,704
Eliminated in consolidation	(133,839		)	(306,687		)
Unconsolidated companies	—			4,481
Total investments	$	40,398		$	22,498

88

Distributions and proceeds from corporate investments in funds and companies of $43.8 million and $2.8 million for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, consisted of the following:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
	(in thousands)
Funds	$	137,597		$	182,212
Eliminated in consolidation	(117,832		)	(179,391		)
Unconsolidated companies	24,013			—
Total proceeds	$	43,778		$	2,821

Purchases of fixed assets were $17.0 million and $2.8 million for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Financing Activities

Financing activities provided $724.3 million and $2.9 billion of cash in the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, financing activities included (a) net distributions to non-controlling interests in consolidated funds of $400.9 million and net contributions from non-controlling interests in consolidated funds of $1.1 billion; (b) net borrowings on credit facilities of the consolidated funds of $947.2 million and $1.1 billion; (c) distributions to unitholders of $210.9 million and $353.5 million; (d) proceeds from debt obligations issued by our CLOs of $401.4 million and $996.8 million; (e) payments for debt issuance costs of $9.1 million and $13.6 million; and (f) purchases of OCGH units, net of issuance of Class A units, of $4.3 million and $1.8 million. Additionally, the first six months of 2014 included net proceeds associated with the refinancing of our corporate credit facility of $19.8 million.

Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity

We expect to continue to make distributions to our Class A unitholders pursuant to our distribution policy. In the future, we may also issue additional units or debt and other equity securities with the objective of increasing our available capital. In addition, we may, from time to time, repurchase our Class A units in open market or privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, or redeem our Class A units pursuant to the terms of our operating agreement.

In addition to our ongoing sources of cash that include management fees, incentive income and fund distributions related to our corporate investments in funds and companies, we also have access to liquidity through our debt financings and credit agreements. We believe that the sources of liquidity described below will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

In September 2014, our subsidiaries Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (the “Issuer”) and Oaktree Capital I, L.P., Oaktree Capital II, L.P. and Oaktree AIF Investments, L.P. (the “Guarantors” and together with the Issuer, the “Obligors”) issued and sold to certain accredited investors $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.91% Senior Notes, Series A, due September 3, 2024 (the “Series A Notes”), $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.01% Senior Notes, Series B, due September 3, 2026 (the “Series B Notes”) and $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.21% Senior Notes, Series C, due September 3, 2029 (the “Series C Notes” and together with the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, the “2014 Notes”) pursuant to a note and guarantee agreement (the “Note Agreement”). The 2014 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer, guaranteed by the Guarantors on a joint and several basis. Interest on the 2014 Notes is payable semi-annually.

The Note Agreement provides for certain affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants relating to the Obligors’ combined leverage ratio and minimum assets under management. In addition, the Note Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Obligors and customary events of default, in certain cases, subject to cure periods. The Issuer may prepay all, or from time to time any part of, the 2014 Notes at any time, subject to the Issuer’s payment of the applicable make-whole amount determined with respect to such principal amount prepaid. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to prepay the 2014 Notes together with the applicable make-whole amount determined with respect to such principal amount prepaid.

In November 2009, our subsidiary Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due December2, 2019 (the “2009 Notes”). The indenture governing the 2009

89

Notes contains customary financial covenants and restrictions that, among other things, limit Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and the guarantors’ ability, subject to certain exceptions, to incur indebtedness secured by liens on voting stock or profit-participating equity interests of their subsidiaries or merge, consolidate or sell, transfer or lease assets. The 2009 Notes do not contain financial maintenance covenants.

In addition to the 2009 Notes, as of June 30, 2015, we had two other series of senior notes outstanding, with an aggregate remaining principal balance of $100.0 million due in 2016. These senior notes contain customary financial covenants and restrictions that, among other things, restrict our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness and our subsidiaries and us from merging, consolidating, transferring, leasing or selling assets, incurring certain liens and making restricted payments, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the agreements contain the following financial covenants: (a) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant that requires us and our subsidiaries to maintain a ratio, calculated by dividing consolidated total debt (for us and our subsidiaries) by Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in each agreement) for the last four fiscal quarters, below 3.0-to-1.0, (b) a maximum interest coverage ratio covenant that requires us and our subsidiaries to maintain a ratio, calculated by dividing Consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters by consolidated interest expense (for us and our subsidiaries), below 4.0-to-1.0, and (c) an assets under management covenant that requires us to maintain assets under management above $20 billion.

In March 2014, our subsidiaries Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., Oaktree Capital II, L.P., Oaktree AIF Investments, L.P. and Oaktree Capital I, L.P. entered into a credit agreement with a bank syndicate for senior unsecured credit facilities (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $250 million fully-funded term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $500 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), each with a five-year term. The Credit Facility replaced the amortizing term loan, which had a principal balance of $218.8 million, and the undrawn revolver under the Company’s prior credit facility. The Term Loan matures in March 2019, at which time the entire principal amount of $250 million is due. Borrowings under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at a spread to either LIBOR or an alternative base rate. Based on the current credit ratings of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., the interest rate on borrowings is LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum and the commitment fee on the unused portions of the Revolver is 0.125% per annum. Utilizing interest-rate swaps, the majority of the Term Loan’s annual interest rate is fixed at 2.69% through January 2016 and 2.22% for the twelve months thereafter, based on our current credit ratings. The Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants and restrictions, including ones regarding a maximum leverage ratio of 3.0-to-1.0 and a minimum required level of assets under management (as defined in the credit agreement) of $50 billion. As of June 30, 2015, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and were able to draw the full amount available without violating any financial maintenance covenants.

We are required to maintain minimum net capital balances for regulatory purposes in the U.S. and certain non-U.S. jurisdictions in which we do business, which are met in part by retaining cash and cash-equivalents in those jurisdictions. As a result, we may be restricted in our ability to transfer cash between different jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2015, we were required to maintain approximately $89.5 million in net capital at these subsidiaries and were in compliance with all regulatory minimum net capital requirements as of such date.

Oaktree Holdings, Inc. and Oaktree AIF Holdings, Inc. have entered into a tax receivable agreement with OCGH unitholders that, as amended, provides for the payment to an exchanging or selling OCGH unitholder of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes that they actually realize (or are deemed to realize in the case of an early termination payment by Oaktree Holdings, Inc. or Oaktree AIF Holdings, Inc., or a change of control) as a result of an increase in the tax basis of the assets owned by the Oaktree Operating Group. Assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law and that the Company earns sufficient taxable income to realize the full tax benefit of the increased amortization of the assets, as of June 30, 2015, future payments of this nature were estimated to aggregate $40.4 million over the period ending approximately in 2029 with respect to the 2007 Private Offering and $79.0 million over the period ending approximately in 2034 with respect to our initial public offering.

In May 2013, we issued and sold 8,050,000 Class A units in a public offering (the “May 2013 Offering”), resulting in $419.9 million in net proceeds to us. We did not retain any proceeds from the sale of Class A units in the May 2013 Offering, and we used the net proceeds from the May 2013 Offering to acquire interests in our business from certain Oaktree directors, employees and other investors, including certain senior executives and other members of our senior management. The exchange of OCGH units in connection with the May 2013 Offering resulted in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the Oaktree Operating Group. As a result, we recorded a deferred tax asset of $134.4 million and an associated liability of $114.2 million for payments to OCGH unitholders under the tax receivable agreement, which together increased capital by $20.2 million. As of

90

June 30, 2015, future payments with respect to the May 2013 Offering were estimated to aggregate $109.0 million over the period ending approximately in 2035.

In March 2014, we issued and sold 5,000,000 Class A units in a public offering (the “March 2014 Offering”), resulting in $296.7 million in proceeds to us. We did not retain any proceeds from the sale of Class A units in the March 2014 Offering. The proceeds from the March 2014 Offering were used to acquire interests in our business from certain Oaktree directors, employees and other investors, including certain senior executives and other members of our senior management. The exchange of OCGH units in connection with the March 2014 Offering resulted in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the Oaktree Operating Group. As a result, we recorded a deferred tax asset of $94.2 million and an associated liability of $80.0 million for payments to OCGH unitholders under the tax receivable agreement, which together increased capital by $14.1 million. As of June 30, 2015, future payments with respect to the March 2014 Offering were estimated to aggregate $80.0 million over the period ending approximately in 2036.

In March 2015, we issued and sold 4,600,000 Class A units in a public offering (the “March 2015 Offering”), resulting in $237.8 million in proceeds to us. We did not retain any proceeds from the sale of Class A units in the March 2015 Offering. The proceeds from the March 2015 Offering were used to acquire interests in our business from certain Oaktree directors, employees and other investors, including certain senior executives and other members of the Company’s senior management. The exchange of OCGH units in connection with the March 2015 Offering resulted in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the Oaktree Operating Group. As a result, we recorded a deferred tax asset of $73.5 million and an associated liability of $62.5 million for payments to OCGH unitholders under the tax receivable agreement, which together increased capital by $11.0 million. As of June 30, 2015, future payments with respect to the March 2015 Offering were estimated to aggregate $62.5 million over the period ending approximately in 2037.

No amounts were paid under the tax receivable agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

(1) We lease our office space under agreements that expire periodically through 2030. The table includes only guaranteed minimum lease payments for these leases and does not project other lease-related payments. These leases are classified as operating leases for financial statement purposes and as such are not recorded as liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

91

(2) Interest obligations include accrued interest on outstanding indebtedness. Where applicable, current interest rates are applied to estimate future interest obligations on variable-rate debt.

(3) This represents the undiscounted contingent consideration obligation as of June 30, 2015 related to the August 2014 Highstar acquisition, which is payable in a combination of cash and fully-vested OCGH units. The amount of the contingent consideration obligation is based on the achievement of certain performance targets over seven years from the acquisition date. Due to uncertainty in the timing of payment, if any, the entire amount is presented in the 2015 column.

(4) These obligations represent commitments by us to provide general partner capital funding to our funds and limited partner capital funding to funds managed by unaffiliated third parties. These amounts are generally due on demand and are therefore presented in the 2015 column. Capital commitments are expected to be called over a period of several years.

(5) These obligations represent commitments by our funds to make investments or fund uncalled contingent commitments. These amounts are generally due either on demand or by various contractual dates that vary by investment and are therefore presented in the 2015 column. Capital commitments are expected to be called over a period of several years.

In some of our service contracts or management agreements, we have agreed to indemnify third-party service providers or separate account clients under certain circumstances. The terms of the indemnities vary from contract to contract and the amount of indemnification liability, if any, cannot be determined and has neither been included in the above table nor recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015.

As of June 30, 2015, none of the incentive income we had recognized was subject to clawback by the funds.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2014, we leased a corporate airplane for business purposes. We were responsible for any unreimbursed costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation, crew, registration, maintenance, service and repair of the airplane. An unaffiliated third party provided certain services with respect to the operations of the plane. On January 22, 2015, we entered into an agreement to extend the lease, previously due to expire on February 1, 2015, through April 1, 2015. On March 23, 2015, we exercised a purchase option for $12.5 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In applying many of these accounting principles, we need to make assumptions, estimates or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates or judgments, however, are both subjective and subject to change, and actual results may differ from our assumptions and estimates. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known. We believe our critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, please see the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report and the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our annual report. For a summary of our critical accounting policies, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our annual report.

Recent Accounting Developments

Please see note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for information regarding recent accounting developments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to a broad range of risks inherent in the financial markets in which we participate, including price risk, interest-rate risk, access to and cost of financing risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and foreign exchange-rate risk. Potentially negative effects of these risks may be mitigated to a certain extent by those aspects of our investment approach, investment strategies, fundraising practices or other business activities that are designed to benefit, either in relative or absolute terms, from periods of economic weakness, tighter credit or financial market dislocations.

Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as general partner or investment adviser to our funds and the sensitivities to movements in the fair value of their investments on management fees, incentive income and investment income. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of our funds may fluctuate in response to changes in, among many factors, the fair value of securities, foreign exchange rates, commodities prices and interest rates.

93

Price Risk

Impact on Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

As of June 30, 2015, we had investments at fair value of $48.6 billion related to our consolidated funds. We estimate that a 10% decline in market values would result in a decrease in unrealized appreciation on the consolidated funds’ investments of $4.9 billion. Inasmuch as this effect would primarily be attributable to non-controlling interests, net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC would be largely unaffected.

Impact on Segment Management Fees

Management fees are generally assessed in the case of (a) our open-end and evergreen funds, based on NAV; and (b) our closed-end funds, based on committed capital or drawn capital during the investment period and, during the liquidation period, based on the lesser of (i) the total funded committed capital or (ii) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund. Management fees are affected by short-term changes in market values to the extent they are based on NAV, in which case the effect is prospective. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, NAV-based management fees represented approximately 37% and 32%, respectively, of total management fees. Based on investments held as of June 30, 2015, we estimate that an immediate 10% decline in market values of the investments held in our funds would result in an approximate $6.8 million decrease in the amount of quarterly management fees. These estimated effects are without regard to a number of factors that would be expected to increase or decrease the magnitude of the change to degrees that are not readily quantifiable, such as the use of leverage facilities in certain of our funds or the timing of fund flows.

Impact on Segment Incentive Income

Incentive income is recognized only when it is known or knowable, which in the case of (a) our closed-end funds, generally occurs only after all contributed capital and an annual preferred return on that capital (typically 8%) have been distributed to the fund’s investors and (b) our active evergreen funds, generally occurs as of December 31, based on the increase in the fund’s NAV during the year, subject to any high-water marks or hurdle rates. In the case of closed-end funds, the link between short-term fluctuations in market values and a particular period’s incentive income is indirect at best and, in certain cases, non-existent. Thus, the effect on incentive income of a 10% decline in market values is not readily quantifiable. Over a number of years, a decline in market values would be expected to cause a decline in incentive income.

Impact on Segment Investment Income

Investment income or loss arises from our pro-rata share of income or loss from our investments, generally in our capacity as general partner in our funds and as an investor in our CLOs and third-party managed funds or companies. This income is directly affected by changes in market risk factors. Based on investments held as of June 30, 2015, an immediate 10% decline in fair values of the investments held in our funds and other holdings would result in a $265.4 million decrease in the amount of investment income. The estimated decline of $265.4 is greater than 10% of the June 30, 2015 corporate investments balance primarily because of our investments in levered senior loan products, which have been a growing component of our corporate investments. These estimated effects are without regard to a number of factors that would be expected to increase or decrease the magnitude of the change to degrees that are not readily quantifiable, such as the use of leverage facilities in certain of our funds, the timing of fund flows or the timing of new investments or realizations.

Exchange-rate Risk

Our business is affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar currencies in the case of (a) management fees that vary based on the NAV of our funds that hold investments denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies, (b) management fees received in non-U.S. dollar currencies, (c) operating expenses for our foreign offices that are denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies and (d) cash balances we hold in non-U.S. dollar currencies. We manage our exposure to exchange-rate risks through our regular operating activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative instruments.

We estimate that for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a 10% decline in the average rate of exchange of the U.S. dollar would have resulted in the following approximate effects on our segment results:

• our management fees (relating to (a) and (b) above) would have increased by $5.2 million;

• our operating expenses would have increased by $6.6 million;

• OCGH interest in net income of consolidated subsidiaries would have decreased by $0.9 million; and

• our income tax expense would have decreased by $0.2 million.

94

These movements would have decreased our net income attributable to OCG by $0.3 million.

At any point in time, some investments held in the closed-end and evergreen funds are carried in non-U.S. dollar currencies on an unhedged basis. Changes in currency rates could affect incentive income, incentives created (fund level) and investment income for closed-end and evergreen funds, although the degree of impact is not readily determinable because of the many indirect effects that currency movements may have on individual investments.

Credit Risk

We are party to agreements providing for various financial services and transactions that contain an element of risk in the event that the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In such agreements, we depend on the respective counterparty to make payment or otherwise perform. We generally endeavor to minimize our risk of exposure by limiting to reputable financial institutions the counterparties with which we enter into financial transactions. In other circumstances, availability of financing from financial institutions may be uncertain due to market events, and we may not be able to access these financing markets.

Interest-rate Risk

As of June 30, 2015, Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries had $850.0 million in debt obligations consisting of four senior notes issuances and a funded term loan. Each senior notes issuance accrues interest at a fixed rate. The funded term loan accrues interest at a variable rate; however, we entered into interest-rate swaps that effectively converted the majority of the term loan interest rate to a fixed rate through January 2017. As a result, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, there would not have been a material impact to interest expense of Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries resulting from a 100-basis point increase in interest rates. Of the $1.0 billion of aggregate segment cash and cash-equivalents and investments in U.S. Treasury securities as of June 30, 2015, we estimate Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries would generate an additional $9.9 million in interest income on an annualized basis as a result of an immediate 100-basis point increase in interest rates.

Our consolidated funds have debt obligations that include revolving credit agreements, debt issued by our CLOs and certain other investment financing arrangements. Most of these debt obligations accrue interest at variable rates, and changes in these rates would affect the amount of interest payments that we would have to make, impacting future earnings and cash flows. As of June 30, 2015, $7.6 billion was outstanding under these debt obligations. We estimate that interest expense relating to variable-rate debt would increase on an annualized basis by $74.4 million in the event interest rates were to increase by 100 basis points.

As credit-oriented investors, we are also subject to interest-rate risk through the securities we hold in our consolidated funds. A 100-basis point increase in interest rates would be expected to negatively affect prices of securities that accrue interest income at fixed rates and therefore negatively impact net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds’ investments. The actual impact is dependent on the average duration of such holdings. Conversely, securities that accrue interest at variable rates would be expected to benefit from a 100-basis point increase in interest rates because these securities would generate higher levels of current income and therefore positively impact interest and dividend income. Inasmuch as these effects are almost entirely attributable to non-controlling interests, net income attributable to OCG would largely be unaffected. In cases where our funds pay management fees based on NAV, we would expect our segment management fees to experience a change in direction and magnitude corresponding to that experienced by the underlying portfolios.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective at the reasonable assurance level to accomplish their objectives of ensuring that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during our most recent quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1) Drawn capital reflects the capital contributions of investors in the fund, net of any distributions to such investors of uninvested capital.

(2) Accrued incentives (fund level) exclude Oaktree segment incentive income previously recognized.

(3) Unreturned drawn capital plus accrued preferred return reflects the amount the fund needs to distribute to its investors as a return of capital and a preferred return (as applicable) before Oaktree is entitled to receive incentive income (other than tax distributions) from the fund.

(4) The internal rate of return (“IRR”) is the annualized implied discount rate calculated from a series of cash flows. It is the return that equates the present value of all capital invested in an investment to the present value of all returns of capital, or the discount rate that will provide a net present value of all cash flows equal to zero. Fund-level IRRs are calculated based upon the actual timing of cash contributions/distributions to investors and the residual value of such investor’s capital accounts at the end of the applicable period being measured. Gross IRRs reflect returns before allocation of management fees, expenses and any incentive allocation to the fund’s general partner. To the extent material, gross returns include certain transaction, advisory, directors or other ancillary fees (“fee income”) paid directly to us in connection with our funds’ activities (we credit all such fee income back to the respective fund(s) so that our funds’ investors share pro rata in the fee income’s economic benefit). Net IRRs reflect returns to non-affiliated investors after allocation of management fees, expenses and any incentive allocation to the fund’s general partner.

(5) Multiple of drawn capital is calculated as drawn capital plus gross income and, if applicable, fee income before fees and expenses divided by drawn capital.

(6) Legacy funds represent certain predecessor funds within the relevant strategy that have substantially or completely liquidated their assets, including funds managed by certain Oaktree investment professionals while employed at the Trust Company of the West prior to Oaktree’s founding in 1995. When these employees joined Oaktree upon, or shortly after, its founding, they continued to manage the fund through the end of its term pursuant to a sub-advisory relationship between the Trust Company of the West and Oaktree.

(7) Management fees during the investment period are calculated on drawn, rather than committed, capital. As a result, as of June 30, 2015 management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of committed capital that had been drawn.

(8) Due to the differences in allocations of income and expenses to this fund’s two primary limited partners, the U.S. Treasury and Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, a combined net IRR is not presented. Oaktree PPIP Fund had liquidated all of its investments and made its final liquidating distribution as of December 31, 2013. Oaktree PPIP Fund and Oaktree PPIP Private Fund were dissolved as of December 31, 2013. Of the $2,322 million in capital commitments, $1,161 million related to the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund. The gross and net IRR for the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund were 24.7% and 18.6%, respectively.

(9) Aggregate IRRs are based on the conversion of cash flows from Euros to USD using the June 30, 2015 spot rate of $1.11.

(10) The IRR is not considered meaningful (“nm”) as the period from the initial capital contribution through June 30, 2015 was less than 18 months.

(11) As of June 30, 2015, Oaktree Principal Fund VI had made an aggregate $59 million drawdown against its $1.0 billion of committed capital. Oaktree has not yet commenced the fund's investment period and, as a result, as of June 30, 2015 management fees were assessed only on the drawn capital, and management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of committed capital.

(12) The fund includes co-investments of $456 million in AUM for which we earn no management fees or incentive allocation. Those co-investments have been excluded from the calculation of gross and net IRR, as well as the unreturned drawn capital plus accrued preferred return amount and multiple of drawn capital. The fund follows the American-style distribution waterfall, whereby the general partner may receive an incentive allocation as soon as it has returned the drawn capital and paid a preferred return on the fund’s realized investments (i.e., on a deal-by-deal basis). However, such cash distributions of incentives may be subject to repayment, or clawback. As of June 30, 2015, Oaktree had not recognized any incentive income from this fund. Additionally, under the terms of the Highstar acquisition, Oaktree is effectively entitled to approximately 8% of the potential incentives generated by this fund.

(13) The fund’s partnership interests are divided into Class A and Class B interests, with the Class A interests having priority with respect to the distribution of current income and disposition proceeds. The net IRR for Class A interests was 10.4% and Class B interests was 8.1%. The combined net IRR for Class A and Class B interests was 9.5%.

(14) The fund’s partnership interests are divided into Class A and Class B interests, with the Class A interests having priority with respect to the distribution of current income and disposition proceeds. The net IRR for Class A interests was 10.8% and Class B interests was 10.5%. The combined net IRR for the Class A and Class B interests was 10.6%.

(15) Totals are based on the conversion of Euro amounts to USD using the June 30, 2015 spot rate of $1.11.

(16) This includes our closed-end Senior Loan funds, Oaktree Asia Special Situations Fund, OCM Asia Principal Opportunities Fund, CLOs, two closed-end separate accounts and, in the case of management fee-generating AUM and accrued incentives (fund level), a non-Oaktree fund and two evergreen separate accounts in our Real Estate Debt strategy.

(17) This excludes two closed-end funds with management fee-generating AUM aggregating $445 million as of June 30, 2015, which has been included as part of the Strategic Credit strategy within the evergreen funds table, and includes two evergreen separate accounts in our Real Estate Debt strategy with an aggregate $145 million of management fee-generating AUM.

(18) The aggregate change in drawn capital for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $1.5 billion.
