FAIR VALUE | 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 financial liabilities by fair-value hierarchy level are set forth below. Please see notes 8 and 16 for the fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations and amounts due from/to affiliates, respectively.

Transfers out of Level III are 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 reflect 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. The following table sets forth a summary of the valuation techniques and quantitative information utilized in determining the fair value of the consolidated funds’ Level III investments as of June 30, 2021: Investment Type Fair Value Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Inputs (1)(2) Range Weighted Average (3) Credit-oriented investments: Communication services $ 67,543 Discounted cash flow (4) Discount rate 11% - 13% 13% 11,793 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Consumer discretionary: 27,639 Discounted cash flow (4) Discount rate 11% - 13% 12% 26,886 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Energy: 85,234 Recent transaction price (6) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable 1,971 Discounted cash flow (4) Discount rate 12% - 14% 13% Financials: 77,315 Market approach (comparable companies) (7) Multiple of underlying assets (8) 0.9x - 1.1x 1x 69,671 Discounted cash flow (4) Discount rate 10% - 12% 11% 59,629 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable 58,522 Recent transaction price (6) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Health care: 68,719 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Other: 42,707 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Equity investments: 306,977 Recent transaction price (6) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable 129,658 Discounted cash flow (4) Discount rate 7% - 16% 11% 39,014 Market approach (comparable companies) (7) Revenue multiple (9) 15x - 16x 16x 35,553 Market approach (comparable companies) (7) Earnings multiple (10) 5x - 16x 10x 31,177 Market approach (comparable companies) (7) Multiple of underlying assets (8) 0.9x - 1.1x 1x Real estate-oriented investments: 45,666 Recent transaction price (6) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Total Level III $ 1,185,674 The following table sets forth a summary of the valuation techniques and quantitative information utilized in determining the fair value of the consolidated funds’ Level III investments as of December 31, 2020: Investment Type Fair Value Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Inputs (1)(2) Range Weighted Average (3) Credit-oriented investments: Energy: $ 14,318 Discounted cash flow (4) Discount rate 7% - 9% 8% 10,431 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Financials: 24,301 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Health care: 20,447 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Industrials: 50,263 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable 12,298 Recent transaction price (6) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Materials: 59,615 Recent transaction price (6) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Real estate: 78,635 Recent transaction price (6) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable 18,177 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable Other: 38,932 Recent market information (5) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable 6,951 Discounted cash flow (4) Discount rate 6% – 8% 7% Equity investments: 133,779 Recent transaction price (6) Quoted prices Not applicable Not applicable 76,809 Discounted cash flow (4) Discount rate 6% - 8% 7% Total Level III $ 544,956 (1) 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. (2) 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. (3) The weighted average is based on the fair value of the investments included in the range. (4) 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. (5) Certain investments are valued using vendor prices or broker quotes 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. (6) C ertain 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. (7) 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 (8) 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. (9) Revenue multiples are based on comparable public companies and transactions with comparable companies. The Company typically applies the multiple to trailing twelve-months' revenue. However, in certain cases other revenue measures, such as pro forma revenue, may be utilized if deemed to be more relevant (10) 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. 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 marketplace participants. As described in note 2, other factors beyond the unobservable inputs described above may have a significant impact on investment valuations. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the valuation technique for one Level III credit-oriented investment changed from recent transaction price to discounted cash flow and another from discounted cash flow to recent market information. There were no changes in the valuation techniques for Level III securities for the three months ended June 30, 2020. |
