Washington, DC – Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group L.P. (NASDAQ: CG) today reported its unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.

Carlyle Co-CEO David M. Rubenstein said, “Carlyle had a strong 2015 amid challenging markets, delivering a full-year distribution of $2.07 to Carlyle common unitholders. Despite our history of strong results and significant future growth opportunities, the equity market currently ascribes little value to our diversified investment platform. We are announcing a $200 million repurchase program as we see great value in Carlyle units.”

Carlyle Co-CEO William E. Conway, Jr. said, “Recent market volatility has created a challenging but opportune investment environment for many of our fund teams. Our current pipeline is strong and we believe that good deals can be financed in the current market. As of early February, we already have signed contracts for approximately $4 billion of new investments and $4 billion of realized proceeds, which we expect to complete during the first half of the year.”

U.S. GAAP results for Q4 2015 and 2015 included income (loss) before provision for income taxes of $(151) million and $409 million, and net income (loss) attributable to the common unitholders through The Carlyle Group L.P. of $(3) million and $(17) million, or net income (loss) per common unit of $(0.04) and $(0.28), on a diluted basis. Total balance sheet assets were $32 billion as of December 31, 2015.

Announcement of a $200 Million Unit Repurchase Program

The Board of Directors of Carlyle's general partner, Carlyle Group Management L.L.C., has authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of common units and/or Carlyle Holdings units. Under this unit repurchase program, units may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.Carlyle expects that the majority of repurchases under this program will be done via open market transactions. No units will be repurchased from Carlyle’s executive officers under this program. The timing and actual number of common units and/or Carlyle Holdings units repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. This unit repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date.

Reserve for Litigation and Contingencies

Included in our Q4 2015 general, administrative and other expenses for both our U.S. GAAP financial results and Economic Net Income is a $50 million reserve for ongoing litigation and contingencies that is excluded from Fee Related Earnings and Distributable Earnings, as the timing of any payment remains uncertain, and therefore, is not reducing our Q4 2015 distribution per unit. This reserve has been allocated to our business segments in accordance with our allocation policies for overhead.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Distribution

The Board of Directors of Carlyle's general partner has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.29 per common unit to holders of record at the close of business on February 23, 2016, payable on March 2, 2016. For full year 2015, the Board of Directors declared $2.07 in aggregate distributions to common unitholders.

Distribution Policy

It is Carlyle’s intention to cause Carlyle Holdings to make quarterly distributions to its partners, including The Carlyle Group L.P.’s wholly owned subsidiaries, that will enable The Carlyle Group L.P. to pay a quarterly distribution of approximately 75% of Distributable Earnings per common unit, net of taxes and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreement, for the quarter. Carlyle’s general partner may adjust the distribution for amounts determined to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and its funds or to comply with applicable law or any of its financing agreements, or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and distributions to unitholders for any ensuing quarter. The amount to be distributed could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. The declaration and payment of any distributions is at the sole discretion of Carlyle’s general partner, which may change or eliminate the distribution policy at any time.

Performance Metrics

Carlyle evaluates the underlying performance of its business on four key metrics: funds raised, equity invested, carry fund returns and realized proceeds for fund investors. The table below highlights the results of these metrics for Q4 2015 and the full years of 2015 and 2014.

Funds Raised					Equity Invested
Q4	$2.7 billion				Q4	$4.0 billion
	2015:	$16.4 bn	2014:	$24.3 bn		2015:	$8.8 bn	2014:	$9.8 bn
Realized Proceeds					Carry Fund Returns
Q4	$4.0 billion				Q4	2%
	2015:	$18.1 bn	2014:	$19.7 bn		2015:	7%	2014:	15%

Note: Equity Invested and Realized Proceeds reflect carry funds only. Funds raised are shown net of any redemption activity.

During Q4 2015, Carlyle generated realized proceeds of $4.0 billion from 140 investments across 40 carry funds. Carlyle invested $4.0 billion of equity in 138 new or follow-on investments across 29 carry funds in Q4 2015. For 2015, Carlyle realized proceeds of $18.1 billion and invested $8.8 billion.

Carlyle All Segment Results

• Distributable Earnings (DE): $145 million for Q4 2015 and $923 million for 2015

◦ Distributable Earnings were $923 million for 2015, 5% lower than $973 million for 2014. Excluding a non-recurring French tax judgment in the first quarter, DE were $1.0 billion, up slightly from 2014. On a post-tax basis, Carlyle generated DE of $0.38 and $2.73 per common unit for Q4 2015 and 2015, respectively.

◦ Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $43 million for Q4 2015, compared to $67 million for Q4 2014 primarily due to lower management fees, partially offset by lower general and administrative expense, excluding the impact of the reserve for litigation and contingencies. FRE of $199 million in 2015 was 19% lower than 2014 due to lower management and transaction fees, partially offset by higher catch-up management fees. We expect catch-up management fees to be lower in 2016 as compared to $73 million in 2015 as we expect to raise less new capital from funds in the market from prior years.

◦ Realized Net Performance Fees were $100 million for Q4 2015, compared to $264 million for Q4 2014. For Q4 2015, realized net performance fees resulted primarily from exits in Booz Allen, CoreSite, Healthscope, Kbro Limited, and multiple U.S. Real Estate investments. Realized net performance fees were $789 million in 2015, 8% higher than 2014.

◦ Realized Investment Income (Loss) was $2 million in Q4 2015 and $(65) million in 2015, compared to a realized investment loss of $(6) million for 2014. The loss in 2015 was driven primarily by a non recurring $80 million French tax judgment in Q1 2015.

• Economic Net Income (ENI): $73 million for Q4 2015 and $397 million for 2015

◦ Q4 2015 ENI was positively impacted by higher carry fund valuations in Corporate Private Equity and Real Estate, partially offset by lower valuations in Global Market Strategies, resulting in net performance fees of $109 million. For 2015, ENI of $397 million was 59% lower than 2014, primarily as a result of lower carry fund appreciation of 7% in 2015 compared to 15% in 2014.

◦ Carlyle generated ENI per Adjusted Unit of $0.24 on a post-tax basis for Q4 2015. Post-tax ENI per Adjusted Unit was impacted by a tax benefit relating to the reserve for litigation and contingencies.

Carry Fund Performance and Net Accrued Performance Fees

Carlyle's carry fund portfolio valuation increased 2% during Q4 2015. In 2015, Carlyle's carry fund portfolio valuation increased 7%, compared to an increase of 15% in 2014. The public positions in our carry funds appreciated 7% during Q4 2015 while the private portfolio in our carry funds remained relatively flat.

For 2015, Buyout funds appreciated 13% and Real Estate funds appreciated 27%. Our Legacy Energy funds depreciated 26% in 2015 primarily owing to a decline in global oil and gas prices. Despite continued depreciation in Legacy Energy fund returns, lower fund valuations had limited impact on Q4 2015 ENI and performance fees as most Legacy Energy assets under management are either in full clawback or near full clawback. Within our Legacy Energy funds and fund coinvestments, our incremental potential future ENI loss is approximately $(9) million.

As of the end of Q4 2015, net accrued performance fees of $1.3 billion were flat from $1.3 billion at the end of Q3 2015, but lower compared to $1.8 billion at the end of Q4 2014. The decline compared to Q4 2014 is primarily due to strong exit activity during 2015 in Corporate Private Equity and Real Estate funds.

(1) Appreciation/(Depreciation) represents unrealized gain/(loss) for the period on a total return basis before fees and expenses. The percentage of return is calculated as: ending remaining investment fair market value plus net investment outflow (sales proceeds minus net purchases) minus beginning remaining investment fair market value divided by beginning remaining investment fair market value. Fund only, does not include co-investment.

(2) Carlyle’s “carry funds” refer to (i) those investment funds that we advise, including the buyout funds, growth capital funds, real estate funds, infrastructure funds, certain energy funds and opportunistic credit, distressed debt and mezzanine funds (but excluding our structured credit/other structured product funds, hedge funds, business development companies, mutual fund, and fund of funds vehicles), where we receive a special residual allocation of income, which we refer to as a carried interest, in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund and (ii) those investment funds advised by NGP from which we are entitled to receive a carried interest.

(3) We generally earn performance fees (or carried interest) from our carry funds representing a 20% allocation of profits generated on third-party capital after returning the invested capital, the allocation of preferred returns of generally 8% or 9% and return of certain fund costs. Our net interest in the performance fees after allocations to our investment professionals or other parties varies based on each fund. For our Corporate Private Equity, Global Market Strategies, Real Estate and Natural Resources carry funds (excluding NGP) our net interest in performance fees is generally 55%. Our net interest in the performance fees from the NGP carry funds ranges from 40% to 47.5%. Our net interest in the performance fees from our Legacy Energy carry funds generally ranges from 16% to 40%, with a weighted average of 20% based on remaining fair value invested.

(4) Natural Resources is comprised of NGP, infrastructure, power, and international energy funds.

(5) Includes structured credit/other structured product funds, hedge funds, business development companies, mutual fund, and fund of funds vehicles.

Assets Under Management and Remaining Fair Value of Capital

• Total Assets Under Management: $182.6 billion as of Q4 2015 (-6% in 2015)

◦ Major drivers of change versus Q3 2015: New capital commitments, net of expired capital (+$2.1 billion) and market appreciation (+$1.5 billion), offset by distributions (-$6.9 billion), the impact of foreign exchange (-$1.4 billion), and net redemptions (-$1.1 billion).

◦ Total Dry Powder of $58.0 billion as of Q4 2015 was comprised of $24.2 billion in Corporate Private Equity, $3.8 billion in Global Market Strategies, $15.9 billion in Real Assets and $14.2 billion in Investment Solutions.

• Fee-Earning Assets Under Management: $131.0 billion as of Q4 2015 (-3% in 2015)

◦ During Q4 2015, Fee-Earning AUM was positively impacted by approximately $8.0 billion at the end of the quarter in connection with the activation of management fees on Carlyle's second equity opportunities fund, second energy mezzanine fund, and the most recent vintage energy fund advised by NGP.

◦ As of the end of Q4 2015, we had approximately $4.5 billion of capital for which we have not yet commenced charging management fees. Management fees on this capital largely will commence upon its deployment. Our hedge fund partnerships had outstanding redemption requests for $3.1 billion as of the beginning of Q1 2016.

◦ Major drivers of change versus Q3 2015: Inflows, including fee-paying commitments (+$11.6 billion) and increases in our CLO collateral balances (+$0.6 billion), offset by distributions and outflows (-$6.9 billion), net redemptions (-$1.1 billion), and foreign exchange loss (-$0.9 billion). In 2015, the impact of foreign exchange on our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds has negatively impacted Fee-Earning AUM by $3.8 billion, or more than 80% of the total year-over-year change.

• Remaining Fair Value of Capital (carry funds only) as of Q4 2015: $59.7 billion

◦ Current Multiple of Invested Capital (MOIC) of remaining fair value of capital: 1.2x.

◦ Total Fair Value derived from investments made in 2010 or earlier: 24%.

◦ AUM in-carry ratio as of the end of Q4 2015: 43%. The decline versus the Q3 2015 ratio of 50% is attributable to several factors, including investments in recent vintage funds that are not in a carry position and distributions from funds that are in a carry position.

Note: Data as of December 31, 2015.

(1) Fair value of remaining carry fund capital in the ground, by vintage. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

• Distributable Earnings (DE): $81 million for Q4 2015 and $798 million for 2015, compared to $790 million in 2014.

◦ Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $17 million for Q4 2015 and $106 million for 2015, compared to $33 million for Q4 2014 and $129 million for 2014. The decline in Q4 2015 was due to nominal catch-up management fees in Q4 2015 compared to $7 million in Q4 2014, lower portfolio advisory and transaction fees, and higher quarterly compensation. For 2015, direct and indirect cash compensation in CPE of $316 million was $9 million lower than 2014. Catch up management fees were $49 million in 2015 compared to $26 million in 2014, and are expected to decline in 2016.

◦ Realized Net Performance Fees were $62 million for Q4 2015 and $669 million for 2015, compared to $223 million and $644 million for Q4 2014 and 2014, respectively. Carlyle Partners IV and V and Carlyle Asia Partners II and III generated the majority of CPE's realized net performance fees in Q4 2015.

◦ Realized Investment Income was $1 million for Q4 2015 and $23 million for 2015, compared to $7 million and $18 million for Q4 2014 and 2014, respectively.

• Economic Net Income (ENI): $63 million for Q4 2015 and $400 million for 2015, compared to $862 million for 2014. The decline in both periods from Q4 2014 and 2014 is due to lower fund appreciation and modestly lower Fee-Related earnings. Included in ENI in Q4 2015 is a $27 million allocation of the reserve for litigation and contingencies.

◦ CPE carry fund valuations increased 3% in Q4 2015 and increased 13% for 2015, compared to an increase of 7% for Q4 2014 and 23% for 2014.

◦ Net Performance Fees were $87 million for Q4 2015 and $367 million for 2015, compared to $208 million for Q4 2014 and $744 million for 2014.

• Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $63.1 billion as of Q4 2015 (-2% in 2015).

◦ Funds Raised in Q4 2015 of $1.6 billion include the final closing of our latest vintage mid-cap U.S. buyout fund as well as closes on coinvestment opportunities related to our latest vintage Europe and U.S. buyout funds.

◦ Fee-Earning Assets Under Management of $40.9 billion increased 2% versus Q4 2014. Major drivers of change in 2015: inflows, including fee-paying commitments (+$6.4 billion), offset by (-$4.9 billion) in outflows, including distributions and basis step downs. Our second mid-cap U.S. buyout fund, Carlyle Equity Opportunities Fund II, activated management fees in late Q4 2015.

• Distributable Earnings (DE): $11 million for Q4 2015 and $39 million for 2015, compared to $91 million in 2014. The decline in 2015 compared to 2014 is largely attributable to a decline in hedge fund related management fees and expenses associated with raising our latest vintage energy mezzanine fund, partially offset by lower compensation.

◦ Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $3 million for Q4 2015 and $12 million for 2015, compared to $18 million for Q4 2014 and $64 million for 2014. The decline in Q4 2015 relative to Q4 2014 was driven by lower management fees from our hedge fund partnerships, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses, excluding the impact of the reserve for litigation and contingencies.

◦ Realized Net Performance Fees were $8 million for Q4 2015 and $21 million for 2015, compared to $5 million for Q4 2014 and $19 million for 2014. Realized net performance fees for Q4 2015 were driven primarily by gains in our niche hedge fund strategies, with our structured credit funds, commodity funds, and Business Development Companies also contributing to our full year results.

• Distributable Earnings (DE): $51 million for Q4 2015 and, excluding the impact of the Q1 2015 French tax judgment, $153 million for 2015, compared to $48 million for 2014.

◦ Fee-Related Earnings(FRE) were $22 million for Q4 2015 and $72 million for 2015, compared to $10 million for Q4 2014 and $22 million for 2014. The increase in Q4 2015 is due to lower cash compensation and general and administrative expenses, excluding the impact of the reserve for litigation and contingencies. Catch up management fees were $24 million in 2015 compared to $8 million in 2014, and are expected to decline in 2016.

◦ Realized Net Performance Fees were $28 million for Q4 2015 and $95 million for 2015, compared to $31 million for Q4 2014 and $58 million for 2014. Carlyle Realty Partners III and VI generated the majority of realized net performance fees in Q4 2015.

◦ Realized Investment Income (Loss) was $1 million for Q4 2015 and, excluding the impact of the Q1 2015 French tax judgment of $80 million,was $(14) million for 2015, compared to $(29) million for Q4 2014 and $(32) million for 2014. Net realized investment loss from our investment in Urbplan was $(21) million in 2015 compared to $(31) million in 2014.

• Economic Net Income (Loss) (ENI): $39 million for Q4 2015 and, excluding the impact of the Q1 2015 French tax judgment, $68 million for 2015, compared to $(59) million in 2014. Included in ENI in Q42015 is a $9 million allocation of the reserve for litigation and contingencies.

◦ Real Assets carry fund valuations were flat in aggregate forQ42015and depreciated3% in 2015, compared to depreciation of 8% in Q4 2014 and 2% in 2014. During 2015, our real estate funds appreciated 27%, our natural resources funds depreciated 3%, and our Legacy Energy portfolio depreciated 26%.

◦ Net Performance Fees were $26 million for Q4 2015 and $26 million for 2015, compared to $(72) million for Q4 2014 and $(13) million for 2014.

• Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $38.0 billion for Q4 2015 (-10% in 2015).

◦ Funds Raised in Q4 2015 of $0.3 billion were driven largely by an additional closing in our latest vintage Power fund.

◦ Fee-Earning AUM of $30.9 billion in Q4 2015 increased by 9% versus Q4 2014. Major drivers of change in 2015: inflows, including fee-paying commitments (+$8.4 billion), partially offset by outflows, including distributions (-$5.7 billion). The latest vintage NGP fund, NGP XI, ended its fee holiday on December 31, 2015, and contributed a net $4.2 billion to Fee-Earning AUM, though it had limited impact on Q4 2015 fee revenue due to the timing in the quarter.

• Distributable Earnings (DE): $3 million for Q4 2015 and $13 million for 2015, compared to $44 million in 2014 .

◦ Fee-Related Earnings (FRE) were $1 million for Q4 2015 and $9 million for 2015, compared to $6 million for Q4 2014 and $32 million for 2014. The decrease in Q4 2015 relative to Q4 2014 was largely attributable to foreign currency impacts on management fees and reductions in Fee-Earning Assets Under Management caused by basis step downs, redemptions and realizations, partially offset by lower compensation.

◦ Realized Net Performance Fees were $2 million for Q4 2015 and $4 million for 2015, compared to $5 million for Q4 2014 and $12 million for 2014.

• Economic Net Income (Loss) (ENI) was $(7) million for Q4 2015 and $5 million for 2015, compared to $45 million in 2014. Included in ENI in Q42015 is a $5 million allocation of the reserve for litigation and contingencies.

◦ Net Performance Fees were $2 million for Q4 2015 and $13 million for 2015, compared to $2 million for Q4 2014 and $17 million for 2014.

• Total Assets Under Management (AUM): $46.2 billion for Q4 2015 (-9% in 2015).

◦ Total AUM declined 9% from Q4 2014 due to distributions of $11.0 billion, negative foreign exchange impact of $3.9 billion, and net redemptions of $0.2 billion, partially offset by $7.7 billion in market appreciation and $3.2 billion in new commitments.

• Fee-Earning AUM of $28.2 billion in Q4 2015 was down 15% compared to Q4 2014. Major drivers of change in 2015: Inflows including fee-paying commitments (+$5.7 billion), more than offset by outflows including distributions and basis step downs (-$7.4 billion), a decrease in foreign exchange (-$2.8 billion) and net redemptions (-$0.2 billion).

(1) Represents capital raised by our carry funds, NGP management fee funds and fund of funds vehicles, net of expired available capital.

(2) Represents capital called by our carry funds, NGP management fee funds and fund of funds vehicles, net of fund fees and expenses and investments in our business development companies. Equity invested amounts may vary from capital called due to timing differences between investment acquisition and capital call dates.

(3) Represents distributions from our carry funds, NGP management fee funds and fund of funds vehicles, net of amounts recycled and distributions from our business development companies. Distributions are based on when proceeds are actually distributed to investors, which may differ from when they are realized.

(4) Represents the net result of subscriptions to and redemptions from our hedge funds, mutual fund, and fund of hedge funds vehicles. Our hedge fund partnerships had outstanding redemption requests for $3.1 billion as of the beginning of Q1 2016.

(5) Represents the change in the aggregate collateral balance and principal cash at par of the CLOs/structured products.

(6) Market Appreciation/(Depreciation) represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments and changes in the net asset value of our hedge funds, mutual fund, and fund of hedge funds vehicles. Appreciation for the fourth quarter was primarily driven by appreciation in the public portfolio of our carry funds of $1.0 billion (7%) which was partially offset by depreciation in the private portfolio of our carry funds of $0.1 billion (0%). Remaining market appreciation for the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily relates to appreciation in our fund of funds vehicles of $0.8 billion, partially offset by depreciation on the NGP management fee funds of $0.7 billion. Appreciation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was primarily driven by appreciation in the public portfolio of our carry funds of $2.4 billion (13%) and appreciation in the private portfolio of our carry funds of $1.2 billion (3%). Remaining market appreciation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 primarily relates to the fund of funds vehicles ($7.7 billion), offset by depreciation on the NGP management fee funds ($1.5 billion) and hedge funds ($0.7 billion).

(7) Represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds and other changes in AUM. Activity during the period is translated at the average rate for the period. Ending balances are translated at the spot rate as of the period end.

(8) Ending balance is comprised of approximately $19.4 billion from our structured credit /other structured product funds, $8.3 billion in our hedge funds, $6.2 billion (including $3.8 billion of Available Capital) in our carry funds, and $1.4 billion from our business development companies.

(9) The fair market values for our Investment Solutions fund of funds vehicles are based on the latest available valuations of the underlying limited partnership interests (in most cases as of September 30, 2015) as provided by their general partners, plus the net cash flows since the latest valuation, up to December 31, 2015.

(1) The data presented herein that provides “inception to date” performance results of our segments relates to the period following the formation of the first fund within each segment. For our Corporate Private Equity segment our first fund was formed in 1990. For our Real Assets segment our first fund was formed in 1997.

(2) Represents the original cost of all capital called for investments since inception of the fund.

(3) Represents all realized proceeds combined with remaining fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(4) Multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) represents total fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by cumulative invested capital.

(5) An investment is considered realized when the investment fund has completely exited, and ceases to own an interest in, the investment. An investment is considered partially realized when the total amount of proceeds received in respect of such investment, including dividends, interest or other distributions and/or return of capital, represents at least 85% of invested capital and such investment is not yet fully realized. Because part of our value creation strategy involves pursuing best exit alternatives, we believe information regarding Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR, when considered together with the other investment performance metrics presented, provides investors with meaningful information regarding our investment performance by removing the impact of investments where significant realization activity has not yet occurred. Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR have limitations as measures of investment performance, and should not be considered in isolation. Such limitations include the fact that these measures do not include the performance of earlier stage and other investments that do not satisfy the criteria provided above. The exclusion of such investments will have a positive impact on Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR in instances when the MOIC and Gross IRR in respect of such investments are less than the aggregate MOIC and Gross IRR. Our measurements of Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR may not be comparable to those of other companies that use similarly titled measures. We do not present Realized/Partially Realized performance information separately for funds that are still in the investment period because of the relatively insignificant level of realizations for funds of this type. However, to the extent such funds have had realizations, they are included in the Realized/Partially Realized performance information presented for Total Corporate Private Equity and Total Real Assets.

(6) Fully Invested funds are past the expiration date of the investment period as defined in the respective limited partnership agreement. In instances where a successor fund has had its first capital call, the predecessor fund is categorized as fully invested.

(7) Gross Internal Rate of Return (“Gross IRR”) represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on contributions, distributions and unrealized value before management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(8) Net Internal Rate of Return (“Net IRR”) represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on contributions, distributions and unrealized value after management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(9) Aggregate includes the following funds: CP I, CMG, CVP I, CVP II, CUSGF III, CEVP, CETP I, CAVP I, CAVP II, CAGP III, Mexico, and MENA.

(17) Represents the original cost of investments net of investment level recallable proceeds which is adjusted to reflect recyclability of invested capital for the purpose of calculating the fund MOIC.

(18) Fully Committed funds are past the expiration date of the commitment period as defined in the respective limited partnership agreement.

(19) Includes private equity and mezzanine primary fund investments, secondary fund investments and co-investments originated by the AlpInvest team. Excluded from the performance information shown are a) investments that were not originated by AlpInvest, b) Direct Investments, which was spun off from AlpInvest in 2005 and c) Metropolitan Real Estate fund of funds vehicles. As of December 31, 2015, these excluded investments represent $0.5 billion of AUM at AlpInvest and $1.9 billion of AUM at Metropolitan.

Remaining Fair Value Analysis, Notes

(1) Net asset value of our carry funds. Reflects significant funds with remaining fair value of greater than $100 million.

(2) Unrealized multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) represents remaining fair market value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by investment cost.

(3) Total MOIC represents total fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by cumulative invested capital. For certain funds, represents the original cost of investments net of investment-level recallable proceeds, which is adjusted to reflect recyclability of invested capital for the purpose of calculating the fund MOIC.

(4) Represents cumulative equity invested as of the reporting period divided by total commitments. Amount can be greater than 100% due to the re-investment of recallable distributions to fund investors.

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Other Key Terms

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Carlyle discloses in this press release the following financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America:

• Economic net income or “ENI,” represents segment net income which includes certain tax expense associated with performance fee compensation and excludes the impact of all other income taxes, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, acquisition-related items including amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles and contingent consideration taking the form of earn-outs, charges associated with equity-based compensation issued in Carlyle’s initial public offering or in acquisitions or strategic investments, corporate actions and infrequently occurring or unusual events. Carlyle believes the inclusion or exclusion of these items provides investors with a meaningful indication of its core operating performance. For segment reporting purposes, revenues and expenses, and accordingly segment net income, are presented on a basis that deconsolidates certain Carlyle funds, related co-investment entities and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) (referred to collectively as the “Consolidated Funds”) that Carlyle consolidates in its consolidated financial statements pursuant to U.S. GAAP. Total Segment ENI equals the aggregate of ENI for all segments. ENI and its components are evaluated regularly by management in making resource deployment decisions and in assessing performance of Carlyle’s four segments and for compensation. Carlyle believes that reporting ENI is helpful to understanding its business and that investors should review the same supplemental financial measure that management uses to analyze its segment performance.

• Distributable Earnings is a component of ENI representing total ENI less net performance fees and investment income plus realized net performance fees, realized investment income and excluding equity-based compensation and certain general, administrative and other expenses when the timing of any future payment is uncertain. Distributable Earnings is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of consolidation of the Consolidated Funds. Distributable Earnings is derived from Carlyle’s segment reported results and is an additional measure to assess performance and amounts potentially available for distribution from Carlyle Holdings to its unitholders.

• Fee-Related Earnings is a component of Distributable Earnings and is used to measure Carlyle’s operating profitability exclusive of performance fees, investment income from investments in Carlyle’s funds, performance fee related compensation, equity-based compensation. Accordingly, Fee-Related Earnings reflect the ability of the business to cover base compensation and operating expenses from fee revenues other than performance fees. Fee-Related Earnings are reported as part of Carlyle’s segment results. Carlyle uses Fee-Related Earnings from operations to measure its profitability from fund management fees.

• Adjusted EBITDA is a component of ENI and is used to measure Carlyle’s ability to cover recurring operating expenses from cash earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as ENI excluding unrealized performance fees, unrealized performance fee compensation, unrealized investment income, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and equity-based compensation.

Income before provision for income taxes is the GAAP financial measure most comparable to ENI, Fee-Related Earnings, Distributable Earnings, and Adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to income before provision for income taxes are included within this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Other Key Terms

“Assets under management” or “AUM” refers to the assets managed by Carlyle. AUM equals the sum of the following:

(a) the fair value of the capital invested in Carlyle carry funds, co-investment vehicles, NGP management fee funds and fund of funds vehicles plus the capital that Carlyle is entitled to call from investors in those funds and vehicles (including Carlyle commitments to those funds and vehicles and those of senior Carlyle professionals and employees) pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to those funds and vehicles;

(b) the amount of aggregate collateral balance and principal cash at par or aggregate principal amount of the notes of our CLOs and other structured products (inclusive of all positions);

(c) the net asset value (pre-redemptions and subscriptions) of Carlyle’s long/short credit, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic, fund of hedge funds vehicles, mutual fund and other hedge funds; and

(d) the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage) of our business development companies.

AUM includes certain energy and renewable resources funds that Carlyle jointly advises with Riverstone Holdings L.L.C. (“Riverstone”) and certain NGP management fee funds and carry funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. Carlyle’s calculation of AUM (but not Fee-Earning AUM) includes uncalled commitments to, and the fair value of invested capital in, investment funds from Carlyle and its personnel, regardless of whether such commitments or invested capital are subject to management or performance fees.

“Available capital,” commonly known as “dry powder,” for Carlyle’s carry funds and NGP management fee funds refers to the amount of capital commitments available to be called for investments. Amounts previously called may be added back to available capital following certain distributions.

“Carlyle funds,” “our funds” and “our investment funds” refer to the investment funds and vehicles advised by Carlyle.

“Carry funds” refers to (i) those investment funds that Carlyle advises, including the buyout funds, growth capital funds, real estate funds, infrastructure funds, certain energy funds, and opportunistic credit, distressed debt and mezzanine funds (but excluding Carlyle’s structured credit/other structured product funds, hedge funds, business development companies, mutual fund and fund of funds vehicles), where Carlyle receives a special residual allocation of income, which is referred to as a “carried interest,” in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund and (ii) those investment funds advised by NGP from which we are entitled to receive a carried interest.

“Catch-up management fees” refer to those amounts of management fees charged to fund investors in subsequent closings of a fund which apply to the time period between the fee initiation date and the subsequent closing date.

“Expired available capital” occurs when a fund has passed the investment and follow-on periods and can no longer invest capital into new or existing deals. Any remaining available capital, typically a result of either recycled distributions or specific reserves established for the follow-on period that are not drawn, can only be called for fees and expenses and is therefore removed from the total AUM calculation.

“Fee-Earning assets under management” or “Fee-Earning AUM” refers to the assets managed by Carlyle from which Carlyle derives recurring fund management fees. Fee-Earning AUM generally equals the sum of:

(a) for substantially all carry funds and certain co-investment vehicles where the investment period has not expired and for Metropolitan fund of funds vehicles during the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds, the amount of limited partner capital commitments, for AlpInvest fund of funds vehicles, the amount of external investor capital commitments during the commitment fee period, and for the NGP management fee funds and certain carry funds advised by NGP, the amount of investor capital commitments before the first investment realization;

Page | 34

(b) for substantially all carry funds and certain co-investment vehicles where the investment period has expired and for Metropolitan fund of funds vehicles after the expiration of the weighted-average investment period of the underlying funds, the remaining amount of limited partner invested capital, and for the NGP management fee funds and certain carry funds advised by NGP where the first investment has been realized, the amount of partner commitments less realized and written-off investments;

(c) the amount of aggregate fee-earning collateral balance at par of our CLOs, as defined in the fund indentures (typically exclusive of equities and defaulted positions) as of the quarterly cut-off date for each CLO, and the aggregate principal amount of the notes of our other structured products;

(d) the net asset value of our mutual fund and the external investor portion of the net asset value (pre-redemptions and subscriptions) of our long/short credit funds, emerging markets, multi-product macroeconomic, fund of hedge funds vehicles and other hedge funds;

(e) the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), excluding cash and cash equivalents of our business development companies and certain carry funds; and

(f) for AlpInvest fund of funds vehicles where the commitment fee period has expired, and certain carry funds where the investment period has expired, the lower of cost or fair value of invested capital.

Fee-Earning AUM includes certain energy and renewable resources carry funds that Carlyle jointly advises with Riverstone and certain NGP management fee funds and carry funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management. Fee-Earning AUM includes only those assets which earn a material fee.

For Carlyle’s carry funds, co-investment vehicles, NGP management fee funds and fund of funds vehicles, total AUM includes the fair value of the capital invested, whereas Fee-Earning AUM includes the amount of capital commitments or the remaining amount of invested capital at cost, depending on whether the investment period for the fund has expired. As such, Fee-Earning AUM may be greater than total AUM when the aggregate fair value of the remaining investments is less than the cost of those investments.

“Fund of funds vehicles” refers to those funds, accounts and vehicles advised by AlpInvest Partners B.V., Metropolitan Real Estate Equity Management, LLC, and Diversified Global Asset Management Corporation.

“NGP management fee funds” refer to those funds advised by NGP Energy Capital Management (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries) from which we only receive management fees.

“Net accrued performance fees” refers to the accrued performance fees that are attributable to Carlyle’s unitholders. This balance is comprised of accrued performance fees less: accrued giveback obligations, accrued performance fee compensation (inclusive of related tax obligations), and accrued performance fees attributable to non-controlling interests. This balance also excludes net accrued performance fees that have been realized but will be collected in subsequent periods.

“Net performance fees” refers to the performance fees from Carlyle funds and fund of funds vehicles net of the portion allocated to Carlyle investment professionals (including related tax expense) which is reflected as performance fee related compensation expense.

“Performance fees” consist principally of carried interest from carry funds and certain fund of funds vehicles and incentive fees or allocations from certain of our Global Market Strategies funds. Carlyle is generally entitled to a 20% allocation (or 1.8% to 10% in the case of most of the fund of funds vehicles) of the net realized income or gain as a carried interest after returning the invested capital, the allocation of preferred returns of generally 8% to 9% and the return of certain fund costs (subject to catch-up provisions as set forth in the fund limited partnership agreement). Carried interest revenue, which is a component of performance fees in Carlyle’s consolidated financial statements, is recognized by Carlyle upon appreciation of the valuation of the applicable funds’ investments above certain return

hurdles as set forth in each respective partnership agreement and is based on the amount that would be due to Carlyle pursuant to the fund partnership agreement at each period end as if the funds were liquidated at such date.

“Realized net performance fees” refers to the realized performance fees from Carlyle funds and fund of funds vehicles net of the portion allocated to Carlyle investment professionals (including related tax expense) which is reflected as realized performance fee related compensation expense.

“VIE” refers to a variable interest entity, as that term is defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation.
