Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of

the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements

include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations, estimates, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies,

anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions and statements that are not historical facts, including our expectations

regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, contingencies, and our

dividend policy. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,”

“expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,”

“estimates,” “anticipates,” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements

are subject to various risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause

actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements including, but not limited to, those

described in this report and under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

December 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 22, 2024, as such factors

may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at

www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary

statements that are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other periodic filings with the SEC. We

undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,

future developments, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Website and Social Media Disclosure

We use our website (www.carlyle.com), our corporate Facebook page (www.facebook.com/onecarlyle), our corporate

X account (@OneCarlyle or www.twitter.com/onecarlyle), our corporate Instagram account (@onecarlyle or

www.instagram.com/onecarlyle), our corporate LinkedIn account (www.linkedin.com/company/the-carlyle-group), our

corporate YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/onecarlyle), and our corporate WeChat account (ID: gh_3e34f090ec20) as

channels of distribution of material company information. For example, financial and other material information regarding our

company is routinely posted on and accessible at www.carlyle.com. Accordingly, investors should monitor these channels, in

addition to following our press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts. In addition, you may

automatically receive email alerts and other information about Carlyle when you enroll your email address by visiting the

“Email Alerts” section at http://ir.carlyle.com/email-alerts. The contents of our website and social media channels are not,

however, a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are not incorporated by reference herein.

Carlyle does not conduct any public solicitations (including print and online articles, advertisements, or postings on

social media sites, messaging applications such as Telegram, WeChat, or WhatsApp, or other public platforms) with respect to

investments, fundraising, cryptocurrency, or opening accounts on social media sites. Any investment-related communication

received from these platforms purporting to be from a Carlyle professional is fraudulent and should be reported to authorities.

On January 1, 2020, we completed our conversion from a Delaware limited partnership named The Carlyle Group L.P.

into a Delaware Corporation named The Carlyle Group Inc. (the conversion, together with such restructuring steps and related

transactions, the “Conversion”).

Unless the context suggests otherwise, references in this report to “Carlyle,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”

refer to The Carlyle Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. When we refer to our “senior Carlyle professionals,” we are

referring to the partner-level personnel of our firm.  References in this report to the ownership of the senior Carlyle

professionals include the ownership of personal planning vehicles of these individuals. When we refer to the “Carlyle Holdings

partnerships” or “Carlyle Holdings,” we are referring to Carlyle Holdings I L.P., Carlyle Holdings II L.P., and Carlyle Holdings

III L.P., which prior to the Conversion were the holding partnerships through which the Company and our senior Carlyle

professionals and other holders of Carlyle Holdings partnership units owned their respective interests in our business.

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

“Carry funds” generally refers to closed-end investment vehicles, in which commitments are drawn down over a

specified investment period, and in which the general partner receives a special residual allocation of income from limited

partners, which we refer to as carried interest, in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund.

Disclosures referring to carry funds will also include the impact of certain commitments that do not earn carried interest, but are

either part of or associated with our carry funds. The rate of carried interest, as well as the share of carried interest allocated to

2

Carlyle, may vary across the carry fund platform. Carry funds generally include the following investment vehicles across our

three business segments:

•Global Private Equity: Buyout, middle market and growth capital, real estate, infrastructure and natural resources

funds advised by Carlyle, as well as certain energy funds advised by our strategic partner NGP Energy Capital

Management (“NGP”) in which Carlyle is entitled to receive a share of carried interest (“NGP Carry Funds”);

•Global Credit: liquid credit, private credit, real assets credit, and other credit such as insurance solutions, platform

initiatives, and capital markets; and 

•Global Investment Solutions: Funds and vehicles advised by AlpInvest Partners B.V. and its affiliates (“AlpInvest”),

which include primary fund, secondary and portfolio financing, and co-investment strategies.

Carry funds specifically exclude certain legacy Abingworth funds in which Carlyle is not entitled to receive a share of

carried interest, collateralized loan obligation vehicles (“CLOs”), our business development companies and associated managed

accounts, as well as capital raised from strategic third-party investors which directly invest in Fortitude (defined below)

alongside a carry fund.

For an explanation of the fund acronyms used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, refer to “Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Our Global Investment Offerings.”

“Fortitude” refers to FGH Parent, L.P. (“FGH Parent”), the direct parent of Fortitude Group Holdings, LLC

(“Fortitude Holdings”). See Note 4, Investments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information regarding the Company’s strategic investment in Fortitude.

“Fee-earning assets under management” or “Fee-earning AUM” refers to the assets we manage or advise from which

we derive recurring fund management fees. Our Fee-earning AUM is generally based on one of the following, once fees have

been activated:

(a)the amount of limited partner capital commitments, generally for carry funds where the original investment period has

not expired and for AlpInvest carry funds during the commitment fee period;

(b)the remaining amount of limited partner invested capital at cost, generally for carry funds and certain co-investment

vehicles where the original investment period has expired, as well as one of our business development companies;

(c)the amount of aggregate fee-earning collateral balance of our CLOs and other securitization vehicles, as defined in the

fund indentures (pre-2020 CLO vintages are generally exclusive of equities and defaulted positions) as of the quarterly

cut-off date;

(d)the external investor portion of the net asset value of certain carry funds;

(e)the fair value of Fortitude’s general account assets invested under the strategic advisory services agreement;

(f)the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), excluding cash and cash equivalents, of one of our business

development companies and certain carry funds; or

(g)the lower of cost or fair value of invested capital, generally for AlpInvest carry funds where the commitment fee

period has expired and certain carry funds where the investment period has expired.

“Assets under management” or “AUM” refers to the assets we manage or advise. Our AUM generally equals the sum

of the following:

(a)the aggregate fair value of our carry funds and related co-investment vehicles, and separately managed accounts, 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;

3

(b) the amount of aggregate collateral balance and principal cash or aggregate principal amount of the notes of our CLOs

and other structured products (inclusive of all positions);

(c) the net asset value of certain carry funds;

(d)the fair value of Fortitude’s general account assets covered by the strategic advisory services agreement; and

(e) the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage) of our business development companies, plus the capital that

Carlyle is entitled to call from investors in those vehicles pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to those

vehicles.

We include in our calculation of AUM and Fee-earning AUM the NGP Carry Funds that are advised by NGP. Our

calculation of AUM also includes third-party capital raised for the investment in Fortitude through a Carlyle-affiliated

investment fund and from strategic investors which directly invests in Fortitude alongside the fund. The total AUM and Fee-

earning AUM related to the strategic advisory services agreement with Fortitude is inclusive of the net asset value of

investments in Carlyle products. These amounts are also reflected in the AUM and Fee-earning AUM of the strategy in which

they are invested.

For most of our carry funds, 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, depending on whether the original

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.

Our calculations of AUM and Fee-earning AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers. As a result,

these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. In addition, our calculation of

AUM (but not Fee-earning AUM) includes uncalled commitments to, and the fair value of invested capital in, our investment

funds from Carlyle and our personnel, regardless of whether such commitments or invested capital are subject to management

fees, incentive fees or performance allocations. Our calculations of AUM or Fee-earning AUM are not based on any definition

of AUM or Fee-earning AUM that is set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds that we manage or advise.

“Performance Fee Eligible AUM” represents the AUM of funds for which we are entitled to receive performance

allocations, inclusive of the fair value of investments in those funds (which we refer to as “Performance Fee Eligible Fair

Value”) and their Available Capital. Performance Fee Eligible Fair Value is “Performance Fee-Generating” when the associated

fund has achieved the specified investment returns required under the terms of the fund’s agreement and is accruing

performance revenue as of the quarter-end reporting date. Funds whose performance allocations are treated as fee related

performance allocations are excluded from these metrics.

“Perpetual Capital” refers to the assets we manage or advise which have an indefinite term and for which there is no

immediate requirement to return capital to investors upon the realization of investments made with such capital, except as

required by applicable law. Perpetual Capital may be materially reduced or terminated under certain conditions, including

reductions from changes in valuations and payments to investors, including through elections by investors to redeem their

investments, dividend payments, and other payment obligations, as well as the termination of or failure to renew the respective

investment advisory agreements. Perpetual Capital includes: (a) assets managed under the strategic advisory services agreement

with Fortitude, (b) our Core Plus real estate fund, (c) our business development companies and certain other direct lending

products, (d) Carlyle Tactical Private Credit Fund (“CTAC”) and (e) our closed-end tender offer fund Carlyle AlpInvest Private

Markets Fund (“CAPM”).

“Legacy Energy Funds” include Energy III, Energy IV, and Renew II and are managed with Riverstone and its

affiliates. The investment periods for these funds have expired and the remaining investments in each fund are being disposed

of in the ordinary course of business. The impact of these funds is no longer significant to our results of operations.

“Metropolitan” or “MRE” refers to Metropolitan Real Estate Management, LLC, which was included in the Global

Investment Solutions business segment prior to its sale on April 1, 2021.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Carlyle is one of the world’s largest global investment firms that deploys private capital across its business and conducts

its operations through three reportable segments: Global Private Equity, Global Credit and Global Investment Solutions (see

Note 15, Segment Reporting). In the Global Private Equity segment, Carlyle advises buyout, growth, real estate, infrastructure

and natural resources funds. The primary areas of focus for the Global Credit segment are liquid credit, private credit, real

assets credit, and other credit such as insurance solutions, platform initiatives, and capital markets. The Global Investment

Solutions segment provides investment opportunities and resources for investors and clients through secondary purchases and

financing of existing portfolios, managed co-investment programs and primary fund investments. Carlyle typically serves as the

general partner, investment manager or collateral manager, making day-to-day investment decisions concerning the assets of

these products.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its

consolidated subsidiaries. In addition, certain Carlyle-affiliated funds, related co-investment entities and certain CLOs managed

by the Company (collectively the “Consolidated Funds”) have been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements

pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), as described in Note 2, Summary of

Significant Accounting Policies. The consolidation of the Consolidated Funds generally has a gross-up effect on assets,

liabilities and cash flows, and generally has no effect on the net income attributable to the Company. The economic ownership

interests of the other investors in the Consolidated Funds are reflected as non-controlling interests in consolidated entities in the

accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for

interim financial information. These statements, including notes, have not been audited, exclude some of the disclosures

required for annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements

included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities

and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 22, 2024. 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. In the opinion of

management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,

which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods

presented.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates all entities that it controls either through a majority voting interest or as the primary

beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

The Company evaluates (1) whether it holds a variable interest in an entity, (2) whether the entity is a VIE, and (3)

whether the Company’s involvement would make it the primary beneficiary. In evaluating whether the Company holds a

variable interest, fees (including management fees, incentive fees and performance allocations) that are customary and

commensurate with the level of services provided, and where the Company does not hold other economic interests in the entity

that would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the expected losses or returns of the entity, are not considered variable

interests. The Company considers all economic interests, including indirect interests, to determine if a fee is considered a

variable interest.

For those entities where the Company holds a variable interest, the Company determines whether each of these entities

qualifies as a VIE and, if so, whether or not the Company is the primary beneficiary. The assessment of whether the entity is a

VIE is generally performed qualitatively, which requires judgment. These judgments include: (a) determining whether the

equity investment at risk is sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial

support, (b) evaluating whether the equity holders, as a group, can make decisions that have a significant effect on the economic

performance of the entity, (c) determining whether two or more parties’ equity interests should be aggregated, and (d)

12

determining whether the equity investors have proportionate voting rights to their obligations to absorb losses or rights to

receive returns from an entity.

For entities that are determined to be VIEs, the Company consolidates those entities where it has concluded it is the

primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined as the variable interest holder with (a) the power to direct the activities

of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance 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. In evaluating whether the

Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly

by the Company.

As of June 30, 2024, assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets

were $9.7 billion and $9.0 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs

reflected in the consolidated balance sheets were $7.8 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively. Except to the extent of the

consolidated assets of the VIEs, the holders of the consolidated VIEs’ liabilities generally do not have recourse to the Company. 

The Company’s Consolidated Funds are primarily CLOs, which are VIEs that issue loans payable that are backed by

diversified collateral asset portfolios consisting primarily of loans or structured debt. In exchange for managing the collateral

for the CLOs, the Company earns investment management fees, including in some cases subordinated management fees and

contingent incentive fees. In cases where the Company consolidates the CLOs (primarily because of a retained interest that is

significant to the CLO), those management fees and contingent incentive fees have been eliminated as intercompany

transactions. As of June 30, 2024, the Company held $205.1 million of investments in these CLOs which represents its

maximum risk of loss. The Company’s investments in these CLOs are generally subordinated to other interests in the entities

and entitle the Company to receive a pro rata portion of the residual cash flows, if any, from the entities. Investors in the CLOs

have no recourse against the Company for any losses sustained in the CLO structure. The Company’s Consolidated Funds also

include certain investment funds in the Global Private Equity segment that are accounted for as consolidated VIEs due to the

Company providing financing to bridge investment purchases. As of June 30, 2024, the Company held $346.5 million of notes

receivable and investments related to these investment funds which represents its maximum risk of loss. The Company’s

Consolidated Funds also include certain funds in the Global Credit and Global Investment Solutions segments that are

accounted for as consolidated VIEs due to the Company having a significant indirect interest in these funds via the Company’s

investment in Fortitude (see Note 4, Investments).

Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are generally assessed for consolidation as voting interest entities. Under the voting

interest entity model, the Company consolidates those entities it controls through a majority voting interest.

All significant inter-entity transactions and balances of entities consolidated have been eliminated.

Investments in Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

The Company holds variable interests in certain VIEs that are not consolidated because the Company is not the primary

beneficiary, including its investments in certain credit vehicles and certain AlpInvest vehicles, as well as its strategic investment

in NGP Management Company, L.L.C. (“NGP Management” and, together with its affiliates, “NGP”). Refer to Note 4,

Investments, for information on the strategic investment in NGP. The Company’s involvement with such entities is in the form

of direct or indirect equity interests and fee arrangements. The maximum exposure to loss represents the loss of assets

recognized by the Company relating to its variable interests in these unconsolidated entities.

The assets recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the Company’s variable

interests in these non-consolidated VIEs were as follows:

	As of
	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
	(Dollars in millions)
Investments	$1,083.9	$1,118.4
Accrued performance allocations	548.7	492.3
Management fee receivables	77.6	65.1
Total	$1,710.2	$1,675.8

These amounts represent the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to the unconsolidated VIEs as of June 30,

2024 and December 31, 2023.

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management has determined that

the Company’s Funds are investment companies under U.S. GAAP for the purposes of financial reporting. U.S. GAAP for an

investment company requires investments to be recorded at estimated fair value and the unrealized gains and/or losses in an

investment’s fair value are recognized on a current basis in the statements of operations. Additionally, the Funds do not

consolidate their majority-owned and controlled investments (the “Portfolio Companies”). In the preparation of these

condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has retained the specialized accounting for the Funds.

All of the investments held and notes issued by the Consolidated Funds are presented at their estimated fair values in the

Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest and other income of the Consolidated Funds, interest expense and

other expenses of the Consolidated Funds, and net investment income (losses) of Consolidated Funds are included in the

Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make assumptions and

estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of

the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting

period. Management’s estimates are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events

that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the

process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Assumptions and estimates regarding the valuation of investments and

their resulting impact on performance allocations and incentive fees involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity and

these assumptions and estimates may be significant to the condensed consolidated financial statements and the resulting impact

on performance allocations and incentive fees. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be

material.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is

recognized when the Company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to

which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 includes a five-step framework

that requires an entity to: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, which includes assessing the collectability of the

consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the customer, (ii) identify the

performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the

performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company accounts for performance allocations that represent a performance-based capital allocation from fund

limited partners to the Company (commonly known as “carried interest”) as earnings from financial assets within the scope of

ASC 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and therefore are not in the scope of ASC 606. In accordance with

ASC 323, the Company records equity method income (losses) as a component of investment income based on the change in its

proportionate claim on net assets of the investment fund, including performance allocations, assuming the investment fund was

liquidated as of each reporting date pursuant to each fund’s governing agreements. See Note 4, Investments, for additional

information on the components of investments and investment income. Performance fees that do not meet the definition of

performance-based capital allocations are in the scope of ASC 606 and are included in incentive fees in the condensed

consolidated statements of operations. The calculation of unrealized performance revenues utilizes investment valuations of the

funds’ underlying investments, which are derived using the policies, methodologies and templates prepared by the Company’s

valuation group, as described in Note 3, Fair Value Measurement.

While the determination of who is the customer in a contractual arrangement will be made on a contract-by-contract

basis, the customer will generally be the investment fund for the Company’s significant management and advisory contracts.

The customer determination impacts the Company’s analysis of the accounting for contract costs.

Fund Management Fees

The Company provides management services to funds in which it holds a general partner interest or to funds or certain

portfolio companies with which it has an investment advisory or investment management agreement. The Company considers

the performance obligations in its contracts with its funds to be the promise to provide (or to arrange for third parties to provide)

investment management services related to the management, policies and operations of the funds.

As it relates to the Company’s performance obligation to provide investment management services, the Company

typically satisfies this performance obligation over time as the services are rendered, since the funds simultaneously receive and

consume the benefits provided as the Company performs the service. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to

which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised services to the funds. Management fees

earned from each investment management contract over the contract life represent variable consideration because the

consideration the Company is entitled to varies based on fluctuations in the basis for the management fee, for example fund net

asset value (“NAV”) or assets under management (“AUM”). Given that the management fee basis is susceptible to market

factors outside of the Company’s influence, management fees are constrained and, therefore, estimates of future period

management fees are generally not included in the transaction price. Revenue recognized for the investment management

services provided is generally the amount determined at the end of the period because that is when the uncertainty for that

period is resolved.

For closed-end carry funds in the Global Private Equity segment, management fees generally range from 1.0% to 2.0% of

limited partners’ capital commitments during the fund’s commitment period. For closed-end carry funds in the Global Credit

segment, management fees generally range from 1.0% to 2.0% of limited partners’ invested capital. Following the expiration or

termination of the investment period, management fees generally are based on the lower of cost or fair value of invested capital

and the rate charged may also be reduced. These terms may vary for certain separately managed accounts, longer-dated carry

funds, and other closed-end funds. The Company will receive management fees during a specified period of time, which is

generally ten years from the initial closing date, or, in some instances, from the final closing date, but such termination date

may be earlier in certain limited circumstances or later if extended for successive one-year periods, typically up to a maximum

of two years. Depending upon the contracted terms of investment advisory or investment management and related agreements,

these fees are generally called semi-annually in advance and are recognized as earned over the subsequent six month period. 

For certain longer-dated carry funds and certain other closed-end funds, management fees are called quarterly over the life of

the funds.

Within the Global Credit segment, for CLOs and other structured products, management fees generally range from 0.4%

to 0.5% based on the total par amount of assets or the aggregate principal amount of the notes in the CLO and are generally due

quarterly in arrears based on the terms and recognized over the respective period. Management fees for the CLOs and other

structured products are governed by indentures and collateral management agreements. The Company will receive management

fees for the CLOs, generally five to ten years after issuance, including after the CLO redemption date until all eligible assets are

disposed of or at such time the collateral manager waives fees at its discretion. Management fees for the business development

companies are due quarterly in arrears at annual rates that range from 1.0% of capital under management to 1.5% of gross

assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents. Management fees for CTAC are due monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 1.0%

of the month-end value of the CTAC’s net assets. Carlyle Aviation Partners’ funds have varying management fee arrangements

depending on the strategy of the particular fund. Under the strategic advisory services agreement with Fortitude, the Company

earns a recurring management fee based on Fortitude’s general account assets, which adjusts within an agreed upon range based

on Fortitude’s overall profitability and is due quarterly in arrears. Managed accounts across the Global Credit segment have

varying management fee arrangements depending on the strategy of the particular account.

Management fees for the Company’s carry fund vehicles in the Global Investment Solutions segment generally range

from 0.25% to 1.5% of the vehicle’s capital commitments during the commitment fee period of the relevant fund. Following the

expiration of the commitment fee period, the management fees generally range from 0.25% to 1.5% on (i) the net invested

capital, (ii) the lower of cost or net asset value of the capital invested, or (iii) the net asset value for unrealized investments.

Management fees for the Global Investment Solutions carry fund vehicles are generally due quarterly in advance and

recognized over the related quarter. The investment adviser to CAPM is entitled to receive a monthly management fee equal to

1.25% on an annualized basis of the fund’s net asset value as of the last day of the month.

The Company also provides transaction advisory and portfolio advisory services to the portfolio companies, and where

covered by separate contractual agreements, recognizes fees for these services when the performance obligation has been

satisfied and collection is reasonably assured. The Company is generally required to offset its fund management fees earned by

a percentage of the transaction and advisory fees earned, which is referred to as the “rebate offset,” which is generally 100%.

The Company also recognizes underwriting fees from the Company’s loan syndication and capital markets business, Carlyle

Global Capital Markets. Fund management fees include transaction and portfolio advisory fees, as well as capital markets fees,

of $26.2 million and $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $50.0 million and

$29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, net of rebate offsets as defined in the respective

partnership agreements.

Fund management fees exclude the reimbursement of any partnership expenses paid by the Company on behalf of the

Carlyle funds pursuant to the limited partnership agreements, including amounts related to the pursuit of actual, proposed, or

unconsummated investments, professional fees, expenses associated with the acquisition, holding and disposition of

investments, and other fund administrative expenses. For the professional fees that the Company arranges for the investment

funds, the Company concluded that the nature of its promise is to arrange for the services to be provided and it does not control

the services provided by third parties before they are transferred to the customer. Therefore, the Company concluded it is acting

in the capacity of an agent. Accordingly, the reimbursement for these professional fees paid on behalf of the investment funds is

presented on a net basis in general, administrative and other expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company also incurs certain costs, primarily employee travel and entertainment costs, employee compensation and

systems costs, for which it receives reimbursement from the investment funds in connection with its performance obligation to

provide investment and management services. For reimbursable travel, compensation and systems costs, the Company

concluded it controls the services provided by its employees and the resources used to develop applicable systems before they

are transferred to the customer and therefore is a principal. Accordingly, the reimbursement for these costs incurred by the

Company to manage the fund limited partnerships are presented on a gross basis in interest and other income in the condensed

consolidated statements of operations and the expense in general, administrative and other expenses or cash-based

compensation and benefits expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Incentive Fees

In connection with management contracts from certain of its Global Credit funds, the Company is also entitled to receive

performance-based incentive fees when the return on assets under management exceeds certain benchmark returns or other

performance targets. In such arrangements, incentive fees are recognized when the performance benchmark has been achieved. 

Incentive fees are variable consideration because they are contingent upon the investment vehicle achieving stipulated

investment return hurdles. Investment returns are highly susceptible to market factors outside of the Company’s influence.

Accordingly, incentive fees are constrained until all uncertainty is resolved. Estimates of future period incentive fees are

generally not included in the transaction price because these estimates are constrained. The transaction price for incentive fees

is generally the amount determined at the end of each accounting period to which they relate because that is when the

uncertainty for that period is resolved, as these fees are not subject to clawback. 

Investment Income (Loss), including Performance Allocations

Investment income (loss) represents the unrealized and realized gains and losses resulting from the Company’s equity

method investments, including any associated general partner performance allocations, and other principal investments,

including CLOs.

General partner performance allocations consist of the allocation of profits from certain of the funds to which the

Company is entitled (commonly known as carried interest).

For closed-end carry funds in the Global Private Equity and Global Credit segments, the Company is generally entitled to

a 20% allocation (or approximately 2% to 12.5% for most of the Global Investment Solutions segment carry fund vehicles) of

the net realized income or gain as a carried interest after returning the invested capital, the allocation of preferred returns of

generally 7% to 9% and return of certain fund costs (generally subject to catch-up provisions as set forth in the fund limited

partnership agreement). These terms may vary on longer-dated funds, certain credit funds, and external co-investment vehicles.

Carried interest is recognized upon appreciation of the funds’ investment values above certain return hurdles set forth in each

respective partnership agreement. The Company recognizes revenues attributable to performance allocations based upon the

amount that would be due pursuant to the fund partnership agreement at each period end as if the funds were terminated at that

date. Accordingly, the amount recognized as investment income for performance allocations reflects the Company’s share of

the gains and losses of the associated funds’ underlying investments measured at their then-current fair values relative to the fair

values as of the end of the prior period. Because of the inherent uncertainty, these estimated values may differ significantly

from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the

difference could be material.

Carried interest is ultimately realized when: (i) an underlying investment is profitably disposed of, (ii) certain costs borne

by the limited partner investors have been reimbursed, (iii) the fund’s cumulative returns are in excess of the preferred return,

and (iv) the Company has decided to collect carry rather than return additional capital to limited partner investors. Realized

carried interest may be required to be returned by the Company in future periods if the fund’s investment values decline below

certain levels. When the fair value of a fund’s investments remains constant or falls below certain return hurdles, previously

recognized performance allocations are reversed. In all cases, each fund is considered separately in this regard, and for a given

fund, performance allocations can never be negative over the life of a fund. If upon a hypothetical liquidation of a fund’s

investments at their then-current fair values, previously recognized and distributed carried interest would be required to be

returned, a liability is established for the potential giveback obligation. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the

Company accrued $43.9 million and $44.0 million, respectively, for giveback obligations.

Principal investment income (loss) is realized when the Company redeems all or a portion of its investment or when the

Company receives or is due cash income, such as dividends or distributions. Unrealized principal investment income (loss)

results from the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s unrealized earnings, including changes in the fair value of the

underlying investment, as well as the reversal of unrealized gain (loss) at the time an investment is realized. As it relates to the

Company’s investments in NGP (see Note 4, Investments), principal investment income includes the compensation expense

associated with compensatory arrangements provided by the Company to employees of its equity method investee.

Interest Income

Interest income is recognized when earned. For debt securities representing non-investment grade beneficial interests in

securitizations, the effective yield is determined based on the estimated cash flows of the security. Changes in the effective

yield of these securities due to changes in estimated cash flows are recognized on a prospective basis as adjustments to interest

income in future periods. Interest income earned by the Company is included in interest and other income in the accompanying

condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income of the Consolidated Funds was $149.3 million and $122.1

million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $291.9 million and $231.9 million for the six

months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in interest and other income of Consolidated Funds in the

accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Credit Losses

The Company measures all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date in accordance with ASC

326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable

forecasts. The Company assesses the collection risk characteristics of the outstanding amounts in its due from affiliates balance

into the following pools of receivables:

•Reimbursable fund expenses receivables,

•Management fee receivables,

•Incentive fee receivables,

•Transaction fee receivables,

•Portfolio fee receivables, and

•Notes receivable.

The Company generally utilizes either historical credit loss information or discounted cash flows to calculate expected

credit losses for each pool. The Company’s receivables are predominantly with its investment funds, which have low risk of

credit loss based on the Company’s historical experience. Historical credit loss data may be adjusted for current conditions and

reasonable and supportable forecasts, including the Company’s expectation of near-term realization based on the liquidity of the

affiliated investment funds.

Compensation and Benefits

Cash-Based Compensation and Benefits – Cash-based compensation and benefits includes salaries, bonuses

(discretionary awards and guaranteed amounts), performance payment arrangements and benefits paid and payable to Carlyle

employees. Bonuses are accrued over the service period to which they relate.

Equity-Based Compensation – Compensation expense relating to the issuance of equity-based awards is measured at fair

value on the grant date. The compensation expense for awards that vest over a future service period is recognized over the

relevant service period on a straight-line basis. The compensation expense for awards that do not require future service is

recognized immediately. Cash settled equity-based awards are classified as liabilities and are re-measured at the end of each

reporting period. The compensation expense for awards that contain performance conditions is recognized when it is probable

that the performance conditions will be achieved. The compensation expense for awards that contain market conditions is based

on a grant-date fair value that factors in the probability that the market conditions will be achieved and is recognized over the

requisite service period on a straight-line basis.

Certain equity-based awards contain dividend-equivalent rights, which are subject to the same terms and conditions,

including with respect to vesting and settlement, that apply to the related award. Dividend-equivalents are accounted for as a

reclassification from retained earnings to additional paid-in capital at the time dividends are declared and do not result in

incremental compensation expense.

Equity-based awards issued to non-employees are generally recognized as general, administrative and other expenses,

except to the extent they are recognized as part of the Company’s equity method earnings because they are issued to employees

of equity method investees.

The Company recognizes equity-based award forfeitures in the period they occur as a reversal of previously recognized

compensation expense for awards that vest based on service and/or performance conditions. The reduction in compensation

expense is determined based on the specific awards forfeited during that period.  Furthermore, the Company recognizes all

excess tax benefits and deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For awards with a market condition (e.g., achievement of certain stock price hurdles) that are forfeited due to the market

condition not being achieved, the related equity-based compensation expense is not reversed.

Performance Allocations and Incentive Fee Related Compensation – A portion of the performance allocations and

incentive fees and certain other interests earned is due to employees and advisors of the Company. These amounts are

accounted for as profit sharing interests in compensation expense in a systematic and rational manner in conjunction with the

recognition of the related performance allocations and incentive fee revenue and, until paid, are recognized as a component of

the accrued compensation and benefits liability. The liability is measured assuming the hypothetical liquidation of the

associated funds’ underlying investments as of the measurement date. Accordingly, upon a reversal of performance allocations

or incentive fee revenue, the related compensation expense, if any, is also reversed. As any vesting requirement is accelerated

upon realization, the service period is not considered substantive when recording the liability based on the hypothetical

liquidation value. Effective December 31, 2023, the Company updated its compensation and incentives program, resulting in a

higher proportion of our performance allocations revenue being used to compensate its personnel; accordingly, Performance

allocations and incentive fee related compensation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 will not meaningfully

compare to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had

recorded a liability of $4.0 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, related to the portion of accrued performance allocations and

incentive fees due to employees and advisors, respectively, which was included in accrued compensation and benefits in the

accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Carlyle Group Inc. is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and thus is subject to U.S. federal, state and

local corporate income taxes. Tax positions taken by the Company are subject to periodic audit by U.S. federal, state, local and

foreign taxing authorities. The interim provision for income taxes is calculated using the discrete effective tax rate method as

allowed by ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated

annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. In addition, the

discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on

that basis.

18

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred

tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or

tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial

statement reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the

difference is expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the

period of the change in the provision for income taxes. Further, deferred tax assets are recognized for the expected realization of

available net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance is recorded on the Company’s gross deferred

tax assets when it is “more likely than not” that such asset will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of the

Company’s deferred tax assets, all evidence, both positive and negative, is evaluated. Items considered in this analysis include

the ability to carry back losses, the reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and expectations of future

earnings. The Company accounts for the valuation allowance assessment on its deferred tax assets and without regard to the

Company’s potential future corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) status or global minimum tax status under the Pillar

Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) model rules of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development

(“OECD”). Therefore, the Company accounts for CAMT and the global minimum tax in the period as incurred. Lastly, the

Company accounts for the tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as incurred and therefore has not recorded

deferred taxes related to GILTI on its foreign subsidiaries.

Under U.S. GAAP for income taxes, the amount of tax benefit to be recognized is the amount of benefit that is “more

likely than not” to be sustained upon examination. The Company analyzes its tax filing positions in all of the U.S. federal, state,

local and foreign tax jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in these

jurisdictions. If, based on this analysis, the Company determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is

established, which is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated

financial statements. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the

provision for income taxes. If recognized, the entire amount of unrecognized tax positions would be recorded as a reduction in

the provision for income taxes.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests in consolidated entities represent the component of equity in consolidated entities held by third-

party investors. These interests are adjusted for general partner allocations which occur during the reporting period. Any change

in ownership of a subsidiary while the controlling financial interest is retained is accounted for as an equity transaction between

the controlling and non-controlling interests. Transaction costs incurred in connection with such changes in ownership of a

subsidiary are recorded as a direct charge to equity.

Earnings Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings

per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the common shares of the Company by the

weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the

assumed conversion of all dilutive securities. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive

weighted-average common shares outstanding for certain equity-based compensation awards. For certain equity-based

compensation awards that contain performance or market conditions, the number of contingently issuable common shares is

included in diluted earnings per common share based on the number of common shares, if any, that would be issuable under the

terms of the awards if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period, if the result is dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The underlying entities that the Company manages and invests in (and in certain cases, consolidates) are primarily

investment companies which account for their investments at estimated fair value.

The fair value measurement accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”),

establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which ranks the observability of market price inputs used in measuring financial

instruments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial

instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and

transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices, or for

The Carlyle Group Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

19

which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets, will generally have a higher degree of market price

observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs

used in the determination of fair values, as follows:

Level I – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical

instruments as of the reporting date. The type of financial instruments in this category include unrestricted

securities, such as equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. The Company does not adjust the quoted price

for these instruments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably

impact the quoted price.

Level II – inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either

directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments in this category

include less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets,

government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on

observable inputs.

Level III – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value

measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or

estimation. The types of financial instruments in this category include investments in privately-held entities, non-

investment grade residual interests in securitizations, collateralized loan obligations, and certain over-the-counter

derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs. 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such

cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument is

based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the

significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to

the financial instrument.

In certain cases, debt and equity securities (including corporate treasury investments) are valued on the basis of prices

from an orderly transaction between market participants provided by reputable dealers or pricing services. In determining the

value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments,

quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between

investments.

In the absence of observable market prices, the Company values its investments and its funds’ investments using

valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. For some investments little market activity may exist. Management’s

determination of fair value is then based on the best information available in the circumstances and may incorporate

management’s own assumptions and involve a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration a combination of

internal and external factors, including the appropriate risk adjustments for non-performance and liquidity risks. Investments for

which market prices are not observable include private investments in the equity and debt of operating companies and real

assets, CLO investments and CLO loans payable and fund investments. The valuation technique for each of these investments is

described below:

Investments in Operating Companies and Real Assets – The fair values of private investments in operating companies

and real assets are generally determined by reference to the income approach (including the discounted cash flow

method and the income capitalization method) and the market approach (including the comparable publicly traded

company method and the comparable transaction method). Valuations under these approaches are typically derived by

reference to investment-specific inputs (such as projected cash flows, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and

amortization (“EBITDA”), and net operating income) combined with market-based inputs (such as discount rates,

EBITDA multiples and capitalization rates). In many cases, the investment-specific inputs are unaudited at the time

received. Management may also adjust the market-based inputs to account for differences between the subject

investment and the companies, asset or investments used to derive the market-based inputs. Adjustments to observable

valuation measures are frequently made upon the initial investment to calibrate the initial investment valuation to

industry observable inputs. Such adjustments are made to align the investment to observable industry inputs for

The Carlyle Group Inc.

20

differences in size, profitability, projected growth rates, geography, capital structure, and other factors as applicable.

The adjustments are then reviewed with each subsequent valuation to assess how the investment has evolved relative

to the observable inputs. Additionally, the investment may be subject to certain specific risks and/or development

milestones which are also taken into account in the valuation assessment. Option pricing models and similar tools may

also be considered but do not currently drive a significant portion of operating company or real asset valuations and are

used primarily to value warrants, derivatives, certain restrictions and other atypical investment instruments.

Credit-Oriented Investments – The fair values of credit-oriented investments (including corporate treasury

investments) are generally determined on the basis of prices between market participants provided by reputable dealers

or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information

with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in

comparable investments and various relationships between investments. Specifically, for investments in distressed debt

and corporate loans and bonds, the fair values are generally determined by valuations of comparable investments. In

some instances, the Company may utilize other valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow method.

CLO Investments and CLO Loans Payable – The Company measures the financial liabilities of its consolidated CLOs

based on the fair value of the financial assets of its consolidated CLOs, as the Company believes the fair value of the

financial assets are more observable. The fair values of the CLO loan and bond assets are primarily based on

quotations from reputable dealers or relevant pricing services. In situations where valuation quotations are unavailable,

the assets are valued based on similar securities, market index changes, and other factors. The Company performs

certain procedures to ensure the reliability of the quotations from pricing services for its CLO assets and CLO

structured asset positions, which generally includes corroborating prices with a discounted cash flow analysis.

Generally, the loan and bond assets of the CLOs are not publicly traded and are classified as Level III. The fair values

of the CLO structured asset positions are determined based on both discounted cash flow analyses and third party

quotes. Those analyses consider the position size, liquidity, current financial condition of the CLOs, the third party

financing environment, reinvestment rates, recovery lags, discount rates and default forecasts and are compared to

broker quotations from market makers and third party dealers. 

The Company measures the CLO loan payables held by third party beneficial interest holders on the basis of the fair

value of the financial assets of the CLO and the beneficial interests held by the Company. The Company continues to

measure the CLO loans payable that it holds at fair value based on relevant pricing services or discounted cash flow

analyses, as described above.

Fund Investments – The Company’s primary and secondary investments in external funds are generally valued as its

proportionate share of the most recent net asset value provided by the third-party general partners of the underlying

fund partnerships, adjusted for subsequent cash flows received from or distributed to the underlying fund partnerships.

The Company also adjusts for any changes in the market prices of public securities held by the underlying fund

partnerships and may also apply a market adjustment to reflect the estimated change in the fair value of the underlying

fund partnerships’ non-public investments from the date of the most recent net asset value provided by the third-party

general partners.

Investment professionals with responsibility for the underlying investments are responsible for preparing the investment

valuations pursuant to the policies, methodologies and templates prepared by the Company’s valuation group, which is a team

made up of dedicated valuation professionals reporting to the Company’s chief accounting officer. The valuation group is

responsible for maintaining the Company’s valuation policy and related guidance, templates and systems that are designed to be

consistent with the guidance found in ASC 820. These valuations, inputs and preliminary conclusions are reviewed by the fund

management teams. The valuations are then reviewed and approved by the respective fund valuation subcommittees, which

include the respective fund head(s), segment head, chief financial officer and chief accounting officer, as well as members of

the valuation group. The valuation group compiles the aggregate results and significant matters and presents them for review

and approval by the global valuation committee, which includes the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Risk Officer,

Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and the business segment heads, and observed by the Chief Compliance

Officer, the director of Internal Audit, the Company’s Audit Committee and others. Additionally, each quarter a sample of

valuations are reviewed by external valuation firms. Valuations of the funds’ investments are used in the calculation of accrued

performance allocations, or “carried interest.”

Investments, at Fair Value

Investments include (i) the Company’s ownership interests (typically general partner interests) in the Funds, including the

Company’s investment in Fortitude (which are accounted for as equity method investments), (ii) the Company’s investment in

NGP (which is accounted for as an equity method investment), (iii) the investments held by the Consolidated Funds (which are

presented at fair value in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements), and (iv) certain credit-oriented

investments, including investments in the CLOs and the preferred securities of Carlyle Secured Lending, Inc. (“CSL,” formerly

known as “TCG BDC, Inc.,” the preferred securities of which are referred to as the “BDC Preferred Shares”) (which are

accounted for as trading securities).

Upon the sale of a security or other investment, the realized net gain or loss is computed on a weighted average cost

basis, with the exception of the investments held by the CLOs, which compute the realized net gain or loss on a first in, first out

basis. Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.

Equity Method Investments

The Company accounts for all investments in which it has or is otherwise presumed to have significant influence,

including investments in the unconsolidated Funds and the Company’s investment in NGP, using the equity method of

accounting. The carrying value of equity method investments is determined based on amounts invested by the Company,

adjusted for the equity in earnings or losses of the investee (including performance allocations) allocated based on the

respective partnership agreement, less distributions received. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for

impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be

recoverable.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held at banks and cash held for distributions, including investments with original

maturities of less than three months when purchased. The Company is subject to credit risk should a financial institution be

unable to fulfil its obligations and if balances held at a financial institution exceed insured limits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Held at Consolidated Funds

Cash and cash equivalents held at Consolidated Funds consists of cash and cash equivalents held by the Consolidated

Funds, which, although not legally restricted, is not available to fund the general liquidity needs of the Company.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily represents cash held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries due to certain government

regulatory capital requirements as well as certain amounts held on behalf of Carlyle funds.

Corporate Treasury Investments

Corporate treasury investments represent investments in U.S. Treasury and government agency obligations, commercial

paper, certificates of deposit, other investment grade securities and other investments with original maturities of greater than

three months when purchased. These investments are accounted for as trading securities in which changes in the fair value of

each investment are recorded through investment income (loss). Any interest earned on debt investments is recorded through

interest and other income.

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments primarily to reduce its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 

Derivative instruments are recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value

recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

As it relates to certain European CLOs sponsored by the Company, securities sold under agreements to repurchase

(“repurchase agreements”) are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. The Company provides securities to

counterparties to collateralize amounts borrowed under repurchase agreements on terms that permit the counterparties to

repledge or resell the securities to others. As of June 30, 2024, $285.6 million of securities were transferred to counterparties

under repurchase agreements and are included within investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash received

under repurchase agreements is recognized as a liability within debt obligations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

See Note 6, Borrowings, for additional information.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of furniture, fixtures and equipment, leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software, and

fractional shares in corporate aircraft, and are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is

recognized on a straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which for leasehold improvements are the lesser of

the lease terms or the life of the asset, and three to seven years for other fixed assets. Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment

whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, and recognizes a lease liability and right-of-

use (“ROU”) asset in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for contracts that it determines are leases or contain a lease. The

Company’s leases primarily consist of operating leases for office space in various countries around the world. The Company

also has operating leases for office equipment and vehicles, which are not significant. The Company does not separate non-

lease components from lease components for its office space and equipment operating leases and instead accounts for each

separate lease component and its associated non-lease component as a single lease component. ROU assets represent the

Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make

lease payments arising from the leases. The Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement

based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease ROU assets include initial direct costs incurred by the

Company and are presented net of deferred rent and lease incentives. Absent an implicit interest rate in the lease, the Company

uses its incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the effects of collateralization, based on the information available at

commencement in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend

or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. Lease expense for lease

payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease ROU assets are reviewed for impairment whenever

events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

The Company does not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset on the balance sheet for short-term leases. Instead, the

Company recognizes short-term lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. A short-term lease is

defined as a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to

purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. When determining whether a lease qualifies as a

short-term lease, the Company evaluates the lease term and the purchase option in the same manner as all other leases.

ROU assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount

of an asset may not be recoverable.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

The Company’s intangible assets consist of acquired contractual rights to earn future fee income, including management

and advisory fees, customer relationships, and acquired trademarks. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their

estimated useful lives, which range from four to eight years, and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in

circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the identifiable net assets of businesses acquired and is recorded in the

functional currency of the acquired entity. Goodwill is recognized as an asset and is reviewed for impairment annually as of

October 1 and between annual tests when events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents management fees and other revenue received prior to the balance sheet date, which has not

yet been earned. Deferred revenue also includes transaction and portfolio advisory fees received by the Company that are

required to offset fund management fees pursuant to the related fund agreements.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments

and gains and losses on defined benefit plans sponsored by AlpInvest. The components of accumulated other comprehensive

income (loss) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

	As of
	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
	(Dollars in millions)
Currency translation adjustments	$(320.0)	$(292.8)
Unrealized losses on defined benefit plans	(4.0)	(4.5)
Total	$(324.0)	$(297.3)

Foreign Currency Translation

Non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities are translated at period-end rates of exchange, and the condensed

consolidated statements of operations are translated at rates of exchange in effect throughout the period. Foreign currency gains

(losses) resulting from transactions outside of the functional currency of an entity of $0.5 million and $(10.7) million for the

three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.0 million and $(22.5) million for the six months ended June

30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are included in general, administrative and other expenses in the condensed consolidated

statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial

Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or

expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity

Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments in this update clarify the guidance in Topic 820 when

measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions and introduce new disclosure requirements

related to such equity securities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early

adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated

financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting–Improvements to Reportable Segment

Disclosures, which requires, among other things, disclosure of significant segment expense categories and amounts for each

reportable segment on an interim and annual basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,

2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does

not expect the impact of this guidance to be material to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure, which requires disclosure

of disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting

currency amounts for specific standardized categories, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction.

The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company

does not expect the impact of this guidance to be material to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2)The balance includes $720.3 million and $595.4 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to the

Company’s investment in Fortitude.

Investment in Fortitude

On November 13, 2018, the Company acquired a 19.9% interest in Fortitude Group Holdings, LLC (“Fortitude

Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”). Fortitude Holdings owns 100% of the

outstanding common shares of Fortitude Reinsurance Company Ltd., a Bermuda domiciled reinsurer (“Fortitude Re”). The

Company paid $381 million in cash at closing and paid $95 million in additional deferred consideration during the three months

ended March 31, 2024. In May 2020, the initial purchase price was adjusted upward by $99.5 million in accordance with the

purchase agreement as Fortitude Holdings chose not to distribute a planned non-pro rata dividend to AIG, of which the

Company paid $79.6 million in May 2020. The remaining $19.9 million was paid during the three months ended March 31,

2024.

On June 2, 2020, Carlyle FRL, L.P. (“Carlyle FRL”), a Carlyle-affiliated investment fund, and T&D United Capital Co.,

Ltd. (“T&D”), a strategic third-party investor, acquired a 51.6% ownership interest and 25.0% ownership interest, respectively,

in Fortitude Holdings from AIG. At closing, the Company contributed its existing 19.9% interest in Fortitude Holdings to

Carlyle FRL, such that Carlyle FRL held a 71.5% interest in Fortitude Holdings. Taken together, Carlyle FRL and T&D had

96.5% ownership of Fortitude Holdings. In October 2021, Carlyle FRL, T&D and an affiliate of AIG contributed the entirety of

their interest in Fortitude Holdings to FGH Parent, L.P. (“FGH Parent”), a newly-formed entity interposed as the direct parent

of Fortitude Holdings, in exchange for an equivalent ownership interest in FGH Parent. References to “Fortitude” prior to this

restructuring refer to Fortitude Holdings and refer to FGH Parent for subsequent periods.

In March 2022, the Company raised $2.0 billion in third-party equity capital from certain investors in Carlyle FRL and

T&D, and committed $100 million from the Company for additional equity capital in Fortitude. In May 2022, Fortitude called

$1.1 billion of the capital raise, reducing the Company’s indirect ownership of Fortitude from 19.9% to 13.5%. As a result of

the dilution, the Company recorded a reduction in the carrying value of its equity method investment and corresponding loss of

$176.9 million. In May 2023, Fortitude called the remaining $1 billion of the capital commitments and the Company’s indirect

ownership of Fortitude further decreased from 13.5% to 10.5%, resulting in an additional reduction in the carrying value and a

corresponding loss of $104.0 million. Effective October 2023, a third-party investor in Carlyle FRL received a distribution in

kind of its interest in FGH Parent held indirectly through the fund, reducing Carlyle FRL’s ownership in FGH Parent to 38.5%.

Following the additional capital contributions in 2022 and 2023, Carlyle FRL and its strategic third-party investors collectively

hold a 97.5% interest in FGH Parent. As of June 30, 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Carlyle FRL,

which is an investment company that accounts for its investment in Fortitude at fair value, was $720.3 million, relative to equity

invested of $679.6 million.

The Company has an asset management relationship with Fortitude pursuant to which Fortitude committed to allocate

assets in asset management strategies and vehicles of the Company and its affiliates. As of June 30, 2024, Fortitude, its

affiliates and certain Fortitude reinsurance counterparties have committed approximately $18.6 billion of capital to-date to

various Carlyle strategies. On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into a strategic advisory services agreement with certain

subsidiaries of Fortitude through Carlyle Insurance Solutions Management L.L.C. (“CISM”), an investment adviser. Under the

agreement, CISM provides Fortitude with certain services, including business development and growth, transaction origination

and execution, and capital management services in exchange for a recurring management fee based on Fortitude’s general

account assets, which adjusts within an agreed range based on Fortitude’s overall profitability. Third party investors who

participated in the March 2022 capital raise also made a minority investment in CISM, which is reflected as non-controlling

interest in consolidated entities in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Investment in NGP

The Company has equity interests in NGP Management Company, L.L.C. (“NGP Management”), the general partners of

certain carry funds advised by NGP, and principal investments in certain NGP funds as described below. The Company does

not control NGP and accounts for its investments in NGP under the equity method of accounting, and includes these

investments in the Global Private Equity segment.

The Company’s investments in NGP as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

	As of
	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023

Investments in NGP general partners - accrued performance allocations	480.6	484.4
Principal investments in NGP funds	58.3	61.3
Total investments in NGP	$909.8	$916.2

Investment in NGP Management. The Company’s equity interests in NGP Management entitle the Company to an

allocation of income equal to 55.0% of the management fee related revenues of NGP Management, which serves as the

investment advisor to the NGP Energy Funds. Management fees are generally calculated as 1.0% to 2.0% of the limited

partners’ commitments during the fund’s investment period, and 0.5% to 2.0% based on the lower of cost or fair market value

of invested capital following the expiration or termination of the investment period. Management fee related revenues from

NGP Management are primarily driven by NGP XI, NGP XII, and NGP XIII during the three and six months ended June 30,

2024 and 2023.

The Company records investment income (loss) for its equity income allocation from NGP management fee related

revenues and also records its share of any allocated expenses from NGP Management, as well as expenses associated with the

compensatory elements of the investment. The net investment income (loss) recognized in the Company’s condensed

consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

The Company assesses the remaining carrying value of its equity method investment for impairment whenever events or

circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, and considers factors including, but not limited to,

expected cash flows from its interest in future management fees and NGP’s ability to raise new funds.

Investment in the General Partners of NGP Carry Funds. The Company’s investment in the general partners of the NGP

Carry Funds entitle it to 47.5% (40.0% or 42.75% in the case of certain funds) of the performance allocations received by

certain current and future NGP fund general partners. The Company records its equity income allocation from NGP

performance allocations in principal investment income (loss) from equity method investments rather than performance

allocations in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized net investment earnings (losses)

related to these performance allocations of $3.0 million and $34.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023,

respectively, and $18.3 million and $36.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Loans”) and extend the maturity date to September 2027. This amendment also provides for a new tranche of revolving loans

with a capacity of $200 million maturing in August 2024, which is expected to be extended (the “2024 Tranche Revolving

Loans,” together with the 2027 Tranche Revolving Loans, the “Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility”). The Company’s

borrowing capacity is subject to the ability of the financial institutions in the banking syndicate to fulfill their respective

The CLO term loans are secured by the Company’s investments in the respective CLO, have a general unsecured interest

in the Carlyle entity that manages the CLO, and generally do not have recourse to any other Carlyle entity. Interest expense for

the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $6.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Interest expense for the six

months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $13.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding

balance of the CLO term loans at June 30, 2024 approximated par value based on current market rates for similar debt

instruments. These CLO term loans are classified as Level III within the fair value hierarchy.

European CLO Financing - February 28, 2017

On February 28, 2017, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a financing agreement with several financial institutions

under which these financial institutions provided a €27.7 million term loan ($29.7 million at June 30, 2024) to the Company.

This term loan is secured by the Company’s investments in the retained notes in certain European CLOs that were formed in

2014 and 2015. This term loan will mature on the earlier of September 21, 2029 or the date that the certain European CLO

retained notes have been redeemed. The Company may prepay the term loan in whole or in part at any time. Interest on this

term loan accrues at EURIBOR plus applicable margins (6.34% at June 30, 2024).

Master Credit Agreement - Term Loans

The Company assumed liabilities under master credit agreements previously entered into by CBAM under which a

financial institution provided term loans to CBAM for the purchase of eligible interests in CLOs (see Note 3 to the consolidated

financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023). Term

loans issued under these master credit agreements are secured by the Company’s investment in the respective CLO as well as

any senior management fee and subordinated management fee payable by each CLO. Term loans generally bear interest at

SOFR plus a weighted average spread over SOFR on the CLO notes, which is due quarterly. As of June 30, 2024, term loans

under these agreements had $68.7 million outstanding. The master credit agreements mature in July 2030 and January 2031,

respectively.

CLO Repurchase Agreements

On February 5, 2019, the Company entered into a master credit facility agreement (the “Carlyle CLO Financing Facility”)

to finance a portion of the risk retention investments in certain European CLOs managed by the Company. Each transaction

entered into under the Carlyle CLO Financing Facility will bear interest at a rate based on the weighted average effective

interest rate of each class of securities that have been sold plus a spread to be agreed upon by the parties. As of June 30, 2024,

€204.3 million ($218.9 million) was outstanding under the Carlyle CLO Financing Facility. Additional borrowings may be

made on terms agreed upon by the Company and the counterparty subject to the terms and conditions of the Carlyle CLO

Financing Facility.

Each transaction entered into under the CLO Financing Facility provides for payment netting and, in the case of a default

or similar event with respect to the counterparty to the CLO Financing Facility, provides for netting across transactions.

Generally, upon a counterparty default, the Company can terminate all transactions under the CLO Financing Facility and offset

amounts it owes in respect of any one transaction against collateral, if any, or other amounts it has received in respect of any

other transactions under the CLO Financing Facility; provided, however, that in the case of certain defaults, the Company may

only be able to terminate and offset solely with respect to the transaction affected by the default. During the term of a

transaction entered into under the CLO Financing Facility, the Company will deliver cash or additional securities acceptable to

the counterparty if the securities sold are in default. Upon termination of a transaction, the Company will repurchase the

previously sold securities from the counterparty at a previously determined repurchase price. The CLO Financing Facility may

be terminated at any time upon certain defaults or circumstances agreed upon by the parties.

The repurchase agreements may result in credit exposure in the event the counterparty to the transaction is unable to

fulfill its contractual obligations. The Company minimizes the credit risk associated with these activities by monitoring

counterparty credit exposure and collateral values. Other than margin requirements, the Company is not subject to additional

terms or contingencies which would expose the Company to additional obligations based upon the performance of the securities

pledged as collateral.

The Company assumed liabilities under a master credit facility agreement previously entered into by CBAM (the

“CBAM CLO Financing Facility,” together with the Carlyle CLO Financing Facility, the “CLO Financing Facilities”) to

finance a portion of the risk retention investments in certain European CLOs managed by CBAM (see Note 3 to the

consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,

2023). The maximum facility amount is €100.0 million, but may be expanded on such terms agreed upon by the Company and

the counterparty subject to the terms and conditions of the CBAM CLO Financing Facility. Each transaction entered into under

the CBAM CLO Financing Facility will bear interest at a rate based on the weighted average effective interest rate of each class

of securities that have been sold plus a spread to be agreed upon by the parties. As of June 30, 2024, €62.2 million

($66.6 million) was outstanding under the CBAM CLO Financing Facility.

Certain indirect subsidiaries of the Company have issued long term borrowings in the form of senior notes, on which

interest is payable semi-annually in arrears. The following table provides information regarding these senior notes (Dollars in

millions):

				Interest Expense
		Fair Value (1) As of		Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	Aggregate Principal Amount	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023	2024	2023	2024	2023

				$17.4	$17.4	$34.6	$34.6

(1)Including accrued interest. Fair value is based on indicative quotes and the notes are classified as Level II within the fair

value hierarchy.

(2)Issued in September 2019 at 99.841% of par.

(3)Issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal at 99.583% of par in March 2013. An additional $200.0 million in aggregate

principal was issued at 104.315% of par in March 2014, and is treated as a single class with the outstanding $400.0 million

in senior notes previously issued.

(4)Issued in September 2018 at 99.914% of par.

The issuers may redeem the senior notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a price equal to the greater

of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining

scheduled payments of principal and interest on any notes being redeemed discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual

basis at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points (30 basis points in the case of the 3.500% senior notes), plus in each case accrued

and unpaid interest on the principal amounts being redeemed.

Subordinated Notes

In May 2021, an indirect subsidiary of the Company issued $435.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625%

Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2061 (the “Subordinated Notes”), on which interest is payable quarterly accruing from May

11, 2021. In June 2021, an additional $65.0 million aggregate principal amount of these Subordinated Notes were issued and

are treated as a single series with the already outstanding $435.0 million aggregate principal amount. The Subordinated Notes

are unsecured and subordinated obligations of the issuer, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”),

jointly and severally, on a subordinated basis, by the Company, each of the Carlyle Holdings partnerships, and CG Subsidiary

Holdings L.L.C., an indirect subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Consolidated Funds are not

guarantors, and as such, the assets of the Consolidated Funds are not available to service the Subordinated Notes under the

Guarantee. The Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at the issuer’s option in whole at any time or in part from time to time on

or after June 15, 2026 at a redemption price equal to their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but

excluding, the date of redemption. If interest due on the Subordinated Notes is deemed no longer to be deductible in the U.S., a

“Tax Redemption Event,” the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole, but not in part, within 120 days of the

occurrence of such event at a redemption price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but

excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole, but not in part, at any time

prior to May 15, 2026, within 90 days of the rating agencies determining that the Subordinated Notes should no longer receive

partial equity treatment pursuant to the rating agency’s criteria, a “rating agency event,” at a redemption price equal to 102% of

their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Subordinated Notes was $364.0 million and

$411.8 million, respectively. Fair value is based on active market quotes and the notes are classified as Level I within the fair

value hierarchy. For both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $5.9 million of interest

expense on the Subordinated Notes. For both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred

$11.8 million of interest expense on the Subordinated Notes.

Debt Covenants

The Company is subject to various financial covenants under its loan agreements including, among other items,

maintenance of a minimum amount of management fee-earning assets. The Company is also subject to various non-financial

covenants under its loan agreements and the indentures governing its senior notes. The Company was in compliance with all

financial and non-financial covenants under its various loan agreements as of June 30, 2024.

Loans Payable of Consolidated Funds

Loans payable of Consolidated Funds primarily represent amounts due to holders of debt securities issued by the CLOs.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the following borrowings were outstanding (Dollars in millions):

CLOs.

Loans payable of the CLOs are collateralized by the assets held by the CLOs and the assets of one CLO may not be used

to satisfy the liabilities of another. This collateral consisted of cash and cash equivalents, corporate loans, corporate bonds and

other securities. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the CLO assets was $8.7 billion and $6.8 billion,

respectively.

Total	$144.2	$(92.2)	$71.4	$13.5

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Capital Commitments

The Company and its unconsolidated affiliates have unfunded commitments totaling $4.3 billion as of June 30, 2024, of

which approximately $3.6 billion is subscribed individually by senior Carlyle professionals, advisors and other professionals. In

addition to these unfunded commitments, the Company may from time to time exercise its right to purchase additional interests

in its investment funds that become available in the ordinary course of their operations.

Under the Carlyle Global Capital Markets platform, certain subsidiaries of the Company may act as an underwriter,

syndicator or placement agent for security offerings and loan originations. The Company earns fees in connection with these

activities and bears the risk of the sale of such securities and placement of such loans, which may be longer dated. As of

June 30, 2024, the Company had no material commitments related to the origination and syndication of loans and securities

under the Carlyle Global Capital Markets platform. In July 2024, a subsidiary of the Company committed to bridge up to

$340 million of debt and equity financing in connection with the acquisition of a private student loan portfolio by investment

vehicles in the Company’s Global Credit segment, which is expected to close in the second half of 2024. The Company expects

to transfer the commitments to third party investors through Carlyle-advised investment vehicles.

Guaranteed Loans 

From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries may enter into agreements to guarantee certain obligations of the

investment funds related to, for example, credit facilities or equity commitments. Certain consolidated subsidiaries of the

Company are the guarantors of revolving credit facilities for certain funds in the Global Investment Solutions segment. The

guarantee is limited to the lesser of the total amount drawn under the credit facilities or the total of net asset value of the

guarantor subsidiaries plus any uncalled capital of the applicable general partner, and was approximately $6.5 million as of

June 30, 2024. The outstanding balances are secured by uncalled capital commitments from the underlying funds and the

Company believes the likelihood of any material funding under this guarantee to be remote.

Contingent Obligations (Giveback)

A liability for potential repayment of previously received performance allocations of $43.9 million at June 30, 2024 was

shown as accrued giveback obligations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, representing the giveback obligation that

would need to be paid if the funds were liquidated at their current fair values at June 30, 2024. However, the ultimate giveback

obligation, if any, generally is not paid until the end of a fund’s life or earlier if the giveback becomes fixed and early payment

is agreed upon by the fund’s partners (see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). The Company had $11.5

million of unbilled receivables from former and current employees and senior Carlyle professionals as of June 30, 2024 related

to giveback obligations. Any such receivables are collateralized by investments made by individual senior Carlyle professionals

and employees in Carlyle-sponsored funds. In addition, $149.5 million have been withheld from distributions of carried interest

to senior Carlyle professionals and employees for potential giveback obligations as of June 30, 2024. Such amounts are held on

behalf of the respective current and former Carlyle employees to satisfy any givebacks they may owe and are held by entities

not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Current and former senior Carlyle professionals and

employees are personally responsible for their giveback obligations. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $20.2 million of the

Company’s accrued giveback obligation is the responsibility of various current and former senior Carlyle professionals and

other former limited partners of the Carlyle Holdings partnerships, and the net accrued giveback obligation attributable to the

Company is $23.7 million.

The Carlyle Group Inc.

(Unaudited)

45

If, at June 30, 2024, all of the investments held by the Company’s Funds were deemed worthless, a possibility that

management views as remote, the amount of realized and distributed carried interest subject to potential giveback would be

$1.4 billion, on an after-tax basis where applicable, of which approximately $0.6 billion would be the responsibility of current

and former senior Carlyle professionals.

Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to litigation, investigations, inquiries, employment-related

matters, disputes and other potential claims. Certain of these matters are described below. The Company is not currently able to

estimate the reasonably possible amount of loss or range of loss, in excess of amounts accrued, for the matters that have not

been resolved. The Company does not believe it is probable that the outcome of any existing litigation, investigations, disputes

or other potential claims will materially affect the Company or these financial statements in excess of amounts accrued.

The Authentix Matter

Authentix, Inc. (“Authentix”) was a majority-owned portfolio company in one of the Company’s investment funds,

Carlyle U.S. Growth Fund III, L.P. (“CGF III”). When Authentix was owned by CGF III, two of the Company’s employees

served on Authentix’s board of directors. After a lengthy sale process, Authentix was sold for an aggregate sale price of

$87.5 million. On August 7, 2020, certain of the former minority shareholders in Authentix filed suit in Delaware Chancery

Court, alleging that the Authentix board of directors, CGF III, and the Company breached various fiduciary duties by agreeing

to a sale of Authentix at an inopportune time and at a price that was too low. Plaintiffs seek damages for their percentage

ownership share of the hypothetical extra gain they allege could have been realized on the sale. Plaintiffs also seek

disgorgement of any profits received by the Company stemming from the sale. A trial before the Delaware Court of Chancery

was completed in early February 2024. A decision from the court is expected later this year, following post-trial briefing. The

former directors of Authentix are covered by indemnification from Authentix and an Authentix insurance policy. The

defendants expect to continue to contest the claims vigorously.

The Tax Receivable Agreement Matter

The Company came into existence on January 1, 2020, when its predecessor, The Carlyle Group, L.P. (the “PTP”),

converted from a partnership into a corporation (the “Conversion”). On July 29, 2022, an alleged stockholder of the Company,

the City of Pittsburgh Comprehensive Municipal Trust Fund (the “Plaintiff”), filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery,

alleging a direct claim against the Company for breach of its certificate of incorporation and a derivative claim on behalf of the

Company against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company. Plaintiff challenges the receipt, by certain

officers of the PTP and certain directors of the general partner of the PTP, of a right to cash payments associated with the

elimination of a tax receivable agreement in connection with the Conversion. Plaintiff is seeking monetary damages, restitution,

and an injunction preventing the Company from making any future cash payments for the elimination of the tax receivable

agreement in connection with the Conversion. By virtue of the derivative nature of the primary claims (i.e., that the claims are

aimed primarily at certain officers and directors), it is unlikely that the Company itself will pay material damage awards based

on the Plaintiff’s claims, although the Company is expected to incur legal defense fees to the extent not covered by insurance.

The Delaware Court issued a ruling on the defendant’s motion to dismiss on April 24, 2024, dismissing some of the Plaintiff’s

claims but allowing most of the claims to proceed to discovery and possibly to trial. The Company intends to contest the direct

claims vigorously, and the officer and director defendants intend to continue contesting the claims vigorously.

SEC Investigation

As part of a sweep investigation of financial services and investment advisory firms, in October 2022, the Company

received from the SEC a request for information related to the preservation of certain types of electronic business

communications (e.g., text messages and messages on WhatsApp, WeChat, and similar applications) as part of the Company’s

books and records. The Company has cooperated with the investigation and has engaged in discussions with the Enforcement

Division about potential resolution. The Company has accrued an estimated liability for this matter in the six months ended

June 30, 2024.

The Company currently is and expects to continue to be, from time to time, subject to examinations, formal and informal

inquiries and investigations by various U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies, including but not limited to,

the SEC, Department of Justice, state attorneys general, FINRA, National Futures Association and the U.K. Financial Conduct

The Carlyle Group Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

46

Authority. The Company routinely cooperates with such examinations, inquiries and investigations, and they may result in the

commencement of civil, criminal, or administrative or other proceedings against the Company or its personnel.

It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending investigations and legal proceedings and employment-

related matters, and some of the matters discussed above involve claims for potentially large and/or indeterminate amounts of

damages. Based on information known by management, management does not believe that as of the date of this filing the final

resolutions of the matters above will have a material effect upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

However, given the potentially large and/or indeterminate amounts of damages sought in certain of these matters and the

inherent unpredictability of investigations and litigations, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from

time to time, have a material effect on the Company’s financial results in any particular period.

The Company accrues an estimated loss contingency liability when it is probable that such a liability has been incurred

and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had recorded liabilities aggregating

to approximately $70 million for litigation-related contingencies, regulatory examinations and inquiries, and other matters. The

Company evaluates its outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings and other matters each quarter to assess its loss

contingency accruals, and makes adjustments in such accruals, upward or downward, as appropriate, based on management’s

best judgment after consultation with counsel. There is no assurance that the Company’s accruals for loss contingencies will not

need to be adjusted in the future or that, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters, the ultimate resolution of these

matters will not significantly exceed the accruals that the Company has recorded.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries enter into contracts that contain a variety of

representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these

arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet

occurred. However, based on experience, the Company believes the risk of material loss to be remote.

In connection with the sale of the Company’s interest in its local Brazilian management entity in August 2021, the

Company provided a guarantee to the acquiring company of up to BRL 100.0 million ($18.0 million as of June 30, 2024) for

liabilities arising from tax-related indemnifications. This guarantee, which will expire in August 2027, would only come into

effect after all alternative remedies have been exhausted. The Company believes the likelihood of any material funding under

this guarantee to be remote.

Risks and Uncertainties

Carlyle’s funds seek investment opportunities that offer the possibility of attaining substantial capital appreciation.

Certain events particular to each industry in which the underlying investees conduct their operations, as well as general

economic, political, regulatory, and public health conditions, may have a significant negative impact on the Company’s

investments and profitability. The funds managed by the Company may also experience a slowdown in the deployment of

capital, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise capital for new or successor funds and could also impact the

management fees the Company earns on its carry funds and managed accounts, and/or result in the impairment of intangible

assets and/or goodwill the case of the Company’s acquired businesses. Such events are beyond the Company’s control, and the

likelihood that they may occur and the effect on the Company cannot be predicted.

Furthermore, certain of the funds’ investments are made in private companies and there are generally no public markets

for the underlying securities at the current time. The funds’ ability to liquidate their publicly-traded investments are often

subject to limitations, including discounts that may be required to be taken on quoted prices due to the number of shares being

sold. The funds’ ability to liquidate their investments and realize value is subject to significant limitations and uncertainties,

including among others currency fluctuations and natural disasters.

The Company and the funds make investments outside of the United States. Investments outside the United States may be

subject to less developed bankruptcy, corporate, partnership and other laws (which may have the effect of disregarding or

otherwise circumventing the limited liability structures potentially causing the actions or liabilities of one fund or a portfolio

company to adversely impact the Company or an unrelated fund or portfolio company). Non-U.S. investments are subject to the

same risks associated with the Company’s U.S. investments as well as additional risks, such as fluctuations in foreign currency

exchange rates, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, heightened risk of political and economic instability,

difficulties in managing non-U.S. investments, potentially adverse tax consequences and the burden of complying with a wide

variety of foreign laws.

Furthermore, Carlyle is exposed to economic risk concentrations related to certain large investments as well as

concentrations of investments in certain industries and geographies.

Additionally, the Company encounters credit risk. Credit risk is the risk of default by a counterparty in the Company’s

investments in debt securities, loans, leases and derivatives that result from a borrower’s, lessee’s or derivative counterparty’s

inability or unwillingness to make required or expected payments. The Company is subject to credit risk should a financial

institution be unable to fulfill its obligations.

The Company considers cash, cash equivalents, securities, receivables, principal equity method investments, accounts

payable, accrued expenses, other liabilities, loans, senior notes, assets and liabilities of Consolidated Funds and contingent and

other consideration for acquisitions to be its financial instruments. Except for the senior notes, subordinated notes and

compensatory contingent and other consideration for acquisitions, the carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated

balance sheets for these financial instruments equal or closely approximate their fair values. The fair value of the senior and

subordinated notes is disclosed in Note 6, Borrowings.

9. Related Party Transactions

Due from Affiliates and Other Receivables, Net

The Company had the following due from affiliates and other receivables at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: 

	As of
	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023

Reimbursable expenses and other receivables from unconsolidated funds and affiliates, net	337.4	335.2
Total	$715.4	$691.6

Reimbursable expenses and other receivables from certain of the unconsolidated funds and portfolio companies relate to

advisory fees receivable and expenses paid on behalf of these entities. These costs generally represent costs related to the

pursuit of actual or proposed investments, professional fees and expenses associated with the acquisition, holding and

disposition of the investments. The affiliates are obligated at the discretion of the Company to reimburse the expenses. Based

on management’s determination, the Company accrues and charges interest on amounts due from affiliate accounts at interest

rates ranging up to 7.02% as of June 30, 2024. The accrued and charged interest to the affiliates was not significant for any

period presented.

Notes receivable include loans that the Company has provided to certain unconsolidated funds to meet short-term

obligations to purchase investments. Notes receivable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 also include interest-bearing

loans of $22.2 million and $25.0 million, respectively, to certain eligible Carlyle employees, which excludes Section 16 officers

and other members of senior management, to finance their investments in certain Carlyle sponsored funds. These advances

accrue interest at the WSJ Prime Rate minus 1.00% floating with a floor rate of 3.50% (7.50% as of June 30, 2024) and are

collateralized by each borrower’s interest in the Carlyle sponsored funds.

These receivables are assessed regularly for collectability. For management fee receivable, amounts determined to be

uncollectible are recorded as a reduction in revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For all other

receivables, amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly to general, administrative and other expenses in the

condensed consolidated statements of operations. A corresponding allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded and such

amounts were not significant for any period presented.

Due to Affiliates

The Company had the following due to affiliates balances at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: 

	As of
	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
	(Dollars in millions)
Due to affiliates of Consolidated Funds	$5.4	$6.3
Due to non-consolidated affiliates	102.4	97.0
Amounts owed under the tax receivable agreement	76.2	79.3
Deferred consideration for Carlyle Holdings units	—	68.4
Other	29.5	24.9
Total	$213.5	$275.9

The Company has recorded obligations for amounts due to certain of its affiliates. The Company periodically offsets

expenses it has paid on behalf of its affiliates against these obligations.

Deferred consideration for Carlyle Holdings units relates to the remaining obligation to the holders of Carlyle Holdings

partnership units who will receive cash payments aggregating to $1.50 per Carlyle Holdings partnership unit exchanged in

connection with the Conversion, payable in five annual installments of $0.30. The fifth and final annual installment payment

occurred in January 2024. The obligation was initially recorded at fair value, net of a discount of $11.3 million and measured

using Level III inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with the

limited partners of the Carlyle Holdings partnerships whereby certain subsidiaries of the Partnership agreed to pay to the limited

partners of the Carlyle Holdings partnerships involved in any exchange transaction 85% of the amount of cash tax savings, if

any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax realized as a result of increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of Carlyle

Holdings Partnership units for common units of The Carlyle Group L.P.

Other Related Party Transactions

On May 5, 2020, the Company purchased 2,000,000 of the BDC Preferred Shares from CSL in a private placement at a

price of $25 per share. Dividends are payable on a quarterly basis in an initial amount equal to 7.0% per annum payable in cash,

or, at CSL’s option, 9.0% per annual payable in additional BDC Preferred Shares. The BDC Preferred Shares are convertible at

the Company’s option, in whole or in part, into the number of shares of common stock equal to $25 per share plus any

accumulated but unpaid dividends divided by an initial conversion price of $9.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. With

the approval of its board of directors, CSL has the option to redeem the BDC Preferred Shares, in whole or in part. In such case,

the Company has the right to convert its shares, in whole or in part, prior to the date of redemption. For both the three months

ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded dividend income of $0.9 million. For both the six months ended June 30,

2024 and 2023, the Company recorded dividend income of $1.8 million. Dividend income from the BDC Preferred Shares is

included in interest and other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s investment in the

BDC Preferred Shares, which is recorded at fair value, was $98.8 million and $81.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and

December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included in investments, including accrued performance allocations, in the condensed

consolidated balance sheets. In August 2024, to facilitate a proposed merger between CSL and another Carlyle-advised BDC,

the Company agreed to exchange its 2,000,000 preferred shares into newly issued common shares of CSL at a price equal to the

net asset value per common share on the date of completion of a proposed merger (compared to a current conversion price of

$8.98 per share). The merger is subject to CSL stockholder approvals, customary regulatory approvals and other closing

conditions. Assuming satisfaction of those conditions, the merger of the BDCs and the exchange of the preferred shares are

expected to close in 2025. As a result of the agreement, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company

expects to reverse approximately $45 million of previously recorded unrealized investment income based on the net asset value

of CSL as of June 30, 2024. The ultimate amount of unrealized investment income to be reversed will be determined based on

the net asset value per common share of CSL as of the closing date of the merger.

Senior Carlyle professionals and employees are permitted to participate in co-investment entities that invest in Carlyle

funds or alongside Carlyle funds. In many cases, participation is limited by law to individuals who qualify under applicable

legal requirements. These co-investment entities generally do not require senior Carlyle professionals and employees to pay

management or performance allocations, however, Carlyle professionals and employees are required to pay their portion of

partnership expenses.

Carried interest income from certain funds can be distributed to senior Carlyle professionals and employees on a current

basis, but is subject to repayment by the subsidiary of the Company that acts as general partner of the fund in the event that

certain specified return thresholds are not ultimately achieved. The senior Carlyle professionals and certain other investment

professionals have personally guaranteed, subject to certain limitations, the obligation of these subsidiaries in respect of this

general partner obligation. Such guarantees are several and not joint and are limited to a particular individual’s distributions

received.

The Company does business with some of its portfolio companies; all such arrangements are on a negotiated basis.

Substantially all revenue is earned from affiliates of Carlyle. 

10. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes was $69.5 million and $(7.3) million for the three months ended

June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $91.4 million and $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023,

respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 32% and 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and

2023, respectively, and 27% and 30% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for

the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 primarily comprised the 21% U.S. federal corporate income tax rate, the impact

of U.S. state and foreign income taxes, and disallowed executive compensation, partially offset by non-controlling interest and

equity-based compensation deductions. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 also includes an increase

related to other non-deductible expenses. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had federal, state, local

and foreign taxes payable of $46.3 million and $46.9 million, respectively, which is recorded as a component of accounts

payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and certain state, local and foreign tax

regulators. With a few exceptions, as of June 30, 2024, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2020

through 2022 are open under the normal three-year statute of limitations and therefore subject to examination. State and local

tax returns are generally subject to audit from 2018 to 2022. Foreign tax returns are generally subject to audit from 2011 to

2023. Certain of the Company’s affiliates are currently under audit by federal, state and foreign tax authorities.

The Company does not believe that the outcome of the audits will require it to record material reserves for uncertain tax

positions or that the outcome will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not

believe that it has any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will

significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA enacted a 15%

CAMT on the “adjusted financial statement income” of certain large corporations, which became effective on January 1, 2023.

The Company does not expect the IRA to have a material impact to its provision for income taxes given that any current year

payments that would be made under CAMT would be permitted to be carried forward and used as credits in future years

resulting in a deferred tax benefit. The Company will continue to monitor as additional guidance is released by U.S. Department

of the Treasury, the IRS, and other standard-setting bodies.

On December 27, 2023, the State of New York issued final regulations that implemented comprehensive franchise tax

reform for corporations, banks, and insurance companies. This did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated

financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor as additional guidance is released by the State of New York.

In October 2021, the OECD introduced a 15% global minimum tax under the Pillar Two GloBE model rules. There are a

number of key provisions under the rules that are being phased in during 2024 and 2025. Several OECD member countries have

enacted the tax legislation based on certain elements of these rules that became effective on January 1, 2024, and additional

countries have drafted or announced an intent to implement legislation. While the Company does not expect Pillar Two to have

a material impact to its provision for income taxes for 2024, the rules remain subject to significant negotiation and potential

change, and the timing and ultimate impact of any such changes on our tax obligations are uncertain. The Company will

continue to monitor as additional countries enact legislation, new parts of the regime come into force or additional guidance is

released by the OECD and other standard-setting bodies.

Weighted-average common shares outstanding	361,263,253	361,263,253	362,099,112	364,319,875

The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive weighted-average common shares represented

by the unvested restricted stock units. Also included in the determination of dilutive weighted-average common shares are

issuable common shares associated with the Company’s investment in NGP and performance-vesting restricted stock units. For

the three months ended June 30, 2023, all such awards are antidilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted earnings

per share given the net loss attributable to common stockholders.

13. Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

Pursuant to a share repurchase program that was publicly announced in February 2021, and subsequently amended in

October 2021 and February 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million in

shares of our common stock, effective as of March 31, 2023. The Board of Directors reset the total repurchase authorization to

$1.4 billion in shares of our common stock, effective as of February 6, 2024, which authorization replaced the Company’s prior

$500 million authorization. Under this repurchase program, shares of common stock may be repurchased from time to time in

open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing

and actual number of shares of common stock repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements and

price, economic, and market conditions. In addition to repurchases of common stock, the repurchase program is used for the

payment of tax withholding amounts upon net share settlement of equity-based awards granted pursuant to our Equity Incentive

Plan or otherwise based on the value of shares withheld that would have otherwise been issued to the award holder. The share

repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. As of June 30,

2024, $1.1 billion of repurchase capacity remained under the program, which reflects both common shares repurchased and

shares retired in connection with the net share settlement of equity-based awards. The following table presents the Company’s

shares that have been repurchased or retired as a result of net share settlement of equity-based awards during the three and six

months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

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

The IRA also enacted a 1% excise tax on certain actual and deemed stock repurchases by publicly traded U.S.

corporations effective January 1, 2023. The value of repurchases subject to the tax is reduced by the value of any stock issued

by the corporation during the tax year, including stock issued or provided to the employees of the corporation. The excise tax is

accounted for in equity as an additional repurchase cost. The excise tax for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was

$1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The excise tax for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1.7 million

and $0.5 million, respectively.

Dividends

The table below presents information regarding the quarterly dividends on the common shares, which were made at the

sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Dividend Record Date	Dividend Payment Date	Dividend per Common Share	Dividend to Common Stockholders
		(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
May 16, 2023	May 23, 2023	$0.35	$126.7
August 15, 2023	August 23, 2023	0.35	126.3
November 21, 2023	November 29, 2023	0.35	126.3
February 23, 2024	March 1, 2024	0.35	126.7

Total 2024 Dividend Year (through Q2 2024)		$0.70	$251.4

The Board of Directors will take into account general economic and business conditions, as well as the Company’s

strategic plans and prospects, business and investment opportunities, financial condition and obligations, legal, tax and

regulatory restrictions, other constraints on the payment of dividends by the Company to its common stockholders or by

subsidiaries to the Company, and other such factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, the terms of the

Company’s credit facility provide certain limits on the Company’s ability to pay dividends.

14. Equity-Based Compensation

The Carlyle Group Inc. Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan,” initially adopted

in May 2012 and as most recently amended and restated on May 29, 2024) is a source of equity-based awards permitting the

Company to grant to Carlyle employees, directors and consultants non-qualified options, share appreciation rights, common

shares, restricted stock units and other awards based on the Company’s shares of common stock. Following the amendment and

restatement of the Equity Incentive Plan on May 29, 2024, a total of 58,800,000 shares of common stock were authorized for

the grant of awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2024, there was a total of 28,993,450 shares of the

Company’s common stock remaining available for grant under the Equity Incentive Plan.

A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested equity-based awards as of June 30, 2024 and a summary of

changes for the six months ended June 30, 2024, are presented below:

Unvested Shares	Performance- Vesting Restricted Stock Units(1)	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value	Restricted Stock Units	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value	Unvested Common Shares(2)	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value

(1)Includes restricted stock units granted to certain senior Carlyle professionals, including equity inducement awards granted in connection

with the appointment of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which are subject to vesting based on the achievement of stock price

performance conditions over a service period.

(2)Includes common shares issued in connection with the Company’s investment in NGP.

(3)Includes shares reserved for issuance upon settlement of dividend-equivalent rights carried by certain restricted stock units concurrently

with the settlement of the restricted stock units for shares.

(4)Includes 1,115,147 shares which were retired in connection with the net share settlement of equity-based awards. The Company paid

$47.7 million of taxes related to the net share settlement of equity-based awards during the six months ended June 30, 2024, which is

included within Financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

In February 2024, the Company granted 13.2 million restricted stock units to certain senior Carlyle professionals that are

eligible to vest in three tranches based on the achievement of stock price performance conditions over service periods of one,

two and three years. Equity-based compensation expense for each tranche is recognized on a straight-line basis over its

respective service period. These awards had a grant date fair value of approximately $347 million, which was derived using the

Monte Carlo Simulation model.

The Company recorded compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for restricted stock units of $125.2 million and

$68.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with $23.6 million and $10.9 million of

corresponding deferred tax benefits, respectively. The Company recorded compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for

restricted stock units of $233.5 million and $122.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with

$43.8 million and $20.5 million of corresponding deferred tax benefits, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the total

unrecognized equity-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units was $770.2 million, which is

expected to be recognized over a weighted-average term of 2.1 years.

15. Segment Reporting

Carlyle conducts its operations through three reportable segments:

Global Private Equity – The Global Private Equity segment advises the Company’s buyout, middle market and growth

capital funds, its U.S. and internationally focused real estate funds, and its infrastructure and natural resources funds. The

segment also includes the NGP Carry Funds advised by NGP.

Global Credit –  The Global Credit segment advises funds and vehicles that pursue investment strategies including loans

and structured credit, direct lending, opportunistic credit, distressed credit, aircraft financing and servicing, infrastructure

debt, insurance solutions, asset-backed lending, and global capital markets.

Global Investment Solutions – The Global Investment Solutions segment advises global private equity programs and

related co-investment and secondary activities.

The Company’s reportable business segments are differentiated by their various investment focuses and strategies.

Overhead costs are generally allocated based on cash-based compensation and benefits expense for each segment. The

Company’s earnings from its investment in NGP are presented in the respective operating captions within the Global Private

Equity segment.

Distributable Earnings. Distributable Earnings, or “DE,” is a key performance benchmark used in the Company’s

industry and is evaluated regularly by management in making resource deployment and compensation decisions and in

assessing performance of the Company’s three reportable segments. Management also uses DE in budgeting, forecasting, and

the overall management of the Company’s segments. Management believes that reporting DE is helpful to understanding the

Company’s business and that investors should review the same supplemental financial measure that management uses to

analyze the Company’s segment performance. DE is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of

the consolidation of the Consolidated Funds. DE is derived from the Company’s segment reported results and is used to assess

performance.

Distributable Earnings differs from income (loss) before provision for income taxes computed in accordance with U.S.

GAAP in that it includes certain tax expenses associated with certain foreign performance revenues (comprised of performance

allocations and incentive fees), and does not include unrealized performance allocations and related compensation expense,

unrealized principal investment income, equity-based compensation expense, net income (loss) attributable to non-Carlyle

interests in consolidated entities, or charges (credits) related to Carlyle corporate actions and non-recurring items that affect

period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of the Company’s operational performance. Charges (credits) related to

Carlyle corporate actions and non-recurring items include: charges (credits) associated with acquisitions, dispositions or

strategic investments, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, amortization and any impairment charges associated

with acquired intangible assets, transaction costs associated with acquisitions and dispositions, charges associated with earn-

outs and contingent consideration including gains and losses associated with the estimated fair value of contingent

considerations issued in conjunction with acquisitions or strategic investments, impairment charges associated with lease right-

of-use assets, gains and losses from the retirement of debt, charges associated with contract terminations and employee

severance, certain general, administrative and other expenses when the timing of any future payment is uncertain, and non-

recurring items that affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of the Company’s operating performance.

Management believes the inclusion or exclusion of these items provides investors with a meaningful indication of the

Company’s core operating performance.

Fee Related Earnings. Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE,” is a component of DE and is used to assess the ability of the

business to cover base compensation and operating expenses from total fee revenues. FRE adjusts DE to exclude net realized

performance revenues, realized principal investment income, and net interest (interest income less interest expense). Fee

Related Earnings includes fee related performance revenues and related compensation expense, which is generally 45% of fee

related performance revenues. Fee related performance revenues represent the realized portion of performance revenues that are

measured and received on a recurring basis, are not dependent on realization events, and which have no risk of giveback.

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

Unless context suggests otherwise, references in this report to “Carlyle,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”

refer to The Carlyle Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis should be read in

conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Overview

We are one of the world’s largest global investment firms that deploys private capital across its business and we conduct

our operations through three reportable segments: Global Private Equity, Global Credit, and Global Investment Solutions.

•Global Private Equity — Our Global Private Equity segment advises our buyout, middle market and growth capital funds,

our U.S. and internationally focused real estate funds, and our infrastructure and natural resources funds. The segment

also includes the NGP Carry Funds advised by NGP. As of June 30, 2024, our Global Private Equity segment had $164

billion in AUM and $104 billion in Fee-earning AUM.

•Global Credit — Our Global Credit segment advises funds and vehicles that pursue investment strategies including loans

and structured credit, direct lending, opportunistic credit, distressed credit, aircraft financing and servicing, infrastructure

debt, insurance solutions and global capital markets. As of June 30, 2024, our Global Credit segment had $190 billion in

AUM and $155 billion in Fee-earning AUM.

•Global Investment Solutions — Our Global Investment Solutions segment advises global private equity programs and

related co-investment and secondary activities. As of June 30, 2024, our Global Investment Solutions segment had $81

billion in AUM and $48 billion in Fee-earning AUM.

We earn management fees pursuant to contractual arrangements with the investment funds that we manage and fees for

transaction advisory and oversight services provided to portfolio companies of these funds. We also typically receive a

performance fee from an investment fund, which may be either an incentive fee or a special residual allocation of income,

which we refer to as a performance allocation, or carried interest, in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by

the fund. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), we are required to consolidate some of the

investment funds that we advise. However, for segment reporting purposes, we present revenues and expenses on a basis that

deconsolidates these investment funds. Refer to Note 15, Segment Reporting, to the condensed consolidated financial

statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the differences between our financial

results reported pursuant to U.S. GAAP and our financial results for segment reporting purposes.

Trends Affecting our Business

Global growth generally moderated in the second quarter of 2024 as the impact of persistently high interest rates began to

manifest. U.S. economic activity showed signs of softening, India experienced slower economic activity and consumption

growth, China’s economic momentum decelerated due to uneven underlying growth across sectors, and Korea’s economy

contracted as domestic demand weakened. In contrast, Japan’s economy rebounded following a first quarter contraction, and

euro area growth improved despite significant dispersion across regions and sectors.

In the United States, official data indicate the economy grew at a 2.8% annualized rate. However, excluding inventory

accumulation, which accounted for nearly one-third of the expansion, growth was 2%. This is consistent with the estimate

implied by our proprietary portfolio data, and June was clearly the weakest of the quarter’s three months. While goods spending

appears to be growing at its slowest rate in a year, and “experiences” spending finished June down 3% from its April 2024

peak, the level of overall experiences outlays remains elevated well above pre-pandemic levels, as evidenced by robust

passenger enplanements and hotel occupancy rates. Fixed investment in industrial facilities continues to be a bright spot, led by

investments in (renewable) power generation and storage, data centers, semiconductors, and battery and EV manufacturing.

These investments coincide with a backlog of projects in this space, with announced investment roughly five times larger than

the dollar value of assets put-in-place thus far. This investment also comes alongside explosive growth in direct government

investment in infrastructure, which is now growing at a faster rate than private outlays. The slowdown in economic growth,

combined with a rise in the unemployment rate in July to its highest level in over two years, present growing evidence of the

disinflationary trends that the Federal Reserve has signaled are necessary to observe before it considers lowering interest rates.

Additionally, inflation, as measured by the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures

Price Index (PCE), fell to 2.6%, marking the lowest level since March 2021. Recent market volatility has created a wide range

of expected outcomes for the federal funds rate among market participants, with expectations whipsawing from two to as many

as ten 25 basis point rate cuts from the Federal Reserve in the second half of 2024.

In Japan, estimates indicate the economy rebounded in the second quarter, growing at a 2.5% annualized rate,

following a first-quarter contraction. This economic recovery occurred against a backdrop of notable currency movements. For

the past three years, the yen has closely tracked levels expected given the differential between the yields on U.S. Treasuries and

Japanese Government Bonds. That ended in June, as the yen weakened even as interest differentials narrowed, though there has

been a significant reversal in the beginning of the third quarter. Since July 10, the yen has appreciated nearly 12% against the

U.S. dollar. Japanese public equities and the yen exchange rate tend to move in opposite directions; the recent strengthening of

the yen against the U.S. dollar has been accompanied by a sharp selloff in Japanese public markets. However, it is important to

view recent market volatility in the context of longer-term trends. Overall, corporate governance and stock exchange reforms

have thus far produced their intended effect, with delistings, buyouts, spinoffs, and asset sales accelerating as management

teams restructure operations for higher returns. The optimism and growing business volumes of M&A advisors suggest that the

recent moves in Japanese asset prices do not reflect the potential scale of improvement in profitability outlooks. Global

enthusiasm (until the past few weeks) for the Japanese market has also influenced the Korean Financial Services Commission to

introduce its own corporate governance reforms earlier this year. Korea’s market appears to have an even greater opportunity

for reform, with a higher proportion of companies priced below their accounting value of assets compared to Japan. Corporate

inefficiencies are viewed as an intolerable drag on growth in light of demographic realities.

In India, despite moderating consumption, our proprietary portfolio data suggest the economy expanded at a 5.9%

annualized rate in the second quarter. India appears poised for a significant period of catch-up growth and rising living

standards, driven by recent reforms in taxation, digital payments, and land reforms. With substantial required investments in

physical capital, the return on each unit of capital in India is notably higher compared to the rest of the world. In China, official

data indicate the economy slowed more than expected in the second quarter, growing at a 2.8% quarter-over-quarter annualized

rate and 4.7% from a year ago. This weakness was due to subdued domestic consumption and a contracting real estate sector

but was partially offset by robust growth in its industrial sector.

Our data indicate improvement in Europe’s economy, with our composite measure of GDP signaling positive growth, and

a sizeable dispersion across regions and sectors. Our portfolio data suggest that from the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

until the end of June 2024, the German economy expanded at a 0.4% annualized rate compared to 2.0% growth for the rest of

Europe. At its June meeting, the European Central Bank (the ECB) decided to cut its policy rates by 25 basis points as inflation

in the Euro area continued to converge towards the ECB’s inflation target.

Earnings growth estimates remain significantly higher than in 2023, at an anticipated 10.8% for the year compared to 1%

the previous year. Earnings are estimated to have grown by 11.5% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the same period a

year ago, led by the communication services, information technology, financials, and utilities sectors. The estimated blended net

profit margin for the second quarter of 2024 was reported at 12.3%, which is above the 11.6% margin observed a year earlier.

U.S. equity markets generally performed well in the second quarter of 2024. While the Russell 2000 and Dow Jones

returned -3.6% and -1.7%, respectively, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 rose by 3.9% and 7.8%, respectively. However, the

increase in asset prices was narrow, with the top seven stocks (Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Alphabet, Amazon, Tesla, and

Meta) combining to account for essentially all of the S&P 500’s quarterly gains and over 60% of its first-half gains. By

contrast, global equity markets had a tepid performance during the second quarter: the MSCI ACWI rose by 2.4%, while the

EuroStoxx 600 and Shanghai Composite returned -0.2% and -2.4%, respectively.

The third quarter of 2024, by contrast, has been characterized to date by a spike in volatility and sharp market downturn.

The VIX Index reached its highest intraday level since the pandemic market plunge in 2020, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100

have declined by 5% and 9.1%, respectively, since the end of June. The Dow Jones and Russell 2000 have experienced milder

declines, returning -1.1% and -0.4% over the same period. Global equity markets have been impacted as well. The MSCI

ACWI, EuroStoxx 600, and Shanghai Composite have returned -5%, -4.8%, and -3.6%, respectively. In Japan, the Nikkei 225

experienced its worst single day drop since 1987, plunging 12.4% following disappointing U.S. economic data and a surge in

the Japanese yen. Within less than four weeks, the index has fallen more than 25% after reaching an all-time high in July.

Concurrently, the yen has strengthened to trade around 142 to the dollar, compared to over 161 to the dollar in early July.

Globally, credit spreads have also widened notably over the past two weeks. The sudden and dramatic emergence of significant

market volatility has increased uncertainty around the outlook for equity and credit markets, as well as global central bank

policy and interest rate expectations, for the balance of 2024.

The first half of the year saw almost $1.65 trillion in global M&A transactions, nearly 20% more than during the same

period last year, which appears to have been the trough in the current M&A cycle. Sponsored acquisitions surged significantly,

representing almost 20% of global M&A activity during the second quarter of 2024, the highest percentage since the second

quarter of 2007. A total of $320 billion in sponsor-backed M&A transactions have been announced through the first half of the

year, a 30% increase from the same period last year, indicating that a recovery is underway. By contrast, although strategic

M&A activity regained some momentum in the second quarter, it remained relatively subdued, despite significantly lower

financing costs in the leveraged finance markets. Excluding special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), global IPO

proceeds totaled $48.8 billion during the first half of 2024, a decrease of 18% compared to year ago levels and the slowest

opening period for global IPOs since 2016. However, this decline was mainly driven by weaker activity in Asia-Pacific, where

domestic public listings fell by around 65% in the first half compared to the same period last year. By contrast, U.S. IPO

activity continued to pick up appreciably in the second quarter. Total proceeds for IPOs on U.S. exchanges totaled $20.5 billion

during the first half of 2024, more than double year ago levels and a three-year high.

U.S. institutional loan activity set an all-time record in the first half of 2024, totaling almost $740 billion. Including add-

ons, global leveraged buyout volume totaled more than $150 billion in the second quarter, the largest since the second quarter

of 2022 when major central banks embarked on aggressive monetary tightening. Spreads in the leveraged loan market

continued to tighten as demand, driven by near-record CLO issuance and robust loan fund flows, outstripped supply. With

borrowers taking advantage of lower financing costs, refinancings and repricings skyrocketed. To a significant, albeit declining,

degree, refinancings have been used to prepay more expensive private credit loans that had gained considerable market share in

2022 and 2023 when the broadly syndicated loan market slowed substantially. The recovery in deal activity was broad-based,

with financial sponsors becoming more active in all major regions. By contrast, venture capital and growth capital investing

remained muted. Globally, the second quarter saw the lowest number of funding rounds since the final quarter of 2014.

Investment activity and appreciation in our carry fund portfolio remained subdued in the second quarter. Our carry fund

portfolio had 1% appreciation in the second quarter of 2024. Within our Global Private Equity segment in the second quarter,

our infrastructure and natural resources funds appreciated 3%, our corporate private equity funds appreciated 2%, and our real

estate funds appreciated 1%. Our Global Credit carry funds (which represent approximately 11% of the total Global Credit

remaining fair value as of June 30, 2024) appreciated 3% in the second quarter, while carry funds in our Global Investment

Solutions segment depreciated (1)% in the second quarter. Investment activity in our carry funds in the second quarter of 2024

generated realized proceeds of $5.8 billion, exceeding invested capital of $4.0 billion and providing net positive distributions to

our investors.

Our liquid credit strategy was active in the second quarter. We closed $2.0 billion in four new CLO issuances, reset $2.0

billion in AUM across four CLOs including incremental fundraising of $0.4 billion, and refinanced two CLOs during the

second quarter. This is in contrast to the second quarter of 2023, in which we closed $0.9 billion in two new CLO issuances.

Higher financing costs continue to pressure borrower debt-service capacity, and we have seen default rates increase in 2023 and

into the first half of 2024 in our European CLOs. However, our global CLO portfolio continues to experience a default rate less

than the industry average, and we are actively managing our credit positions to maintain balanced risk-adjusted credit quality.

We generally seek to reset our CLOs to renew the reinvestment period. In the absence of a reset, a CLO will begin to use cash

flows to repay outstanding debt tranches, which will reduce our AUM and Fee-earning AUM over time as the underlying

collateral runs off.

Gross originations in our direct lending strategy totaled $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2024, a nearly three-fold

increase over originations in the second quarter of 2023, which was impacted by the slowdown in sponsor M&A activity in

2022 and 2023. Dividend yields on our business development companies and CTAC as of June 30, 2024 were approximately

10%.

We had $12.4 billion in new capital inflows in the second quarter, and $17.7 billion year-to-date, towards our previously

announced target of $40 billion of capital inflows in 2024. The impact of muted realizations on investor liquidity has been

exacerbated by an increase in demand on investor capital as the increased cost of subscription lines commonly used to bridge

capital calls has led to borrowing repayments and restricted use in current investment activity. The impact of net negative

distributions to investors, combined with increasing geopolitical risk and continued global economic uncertainty, has

compounded an already challenging fundraising landscape. While we believe that we will continue to attract a significant

amount of capital for our buyout funds, we have seen a decline in buyout fund sizes across most geographies, which may

continue to result in lower management fees in Global Private Equity in the future.

The SEC has put forth several rule proposals, and we are evaluating the potential impacts to our business and operations

and those of our portfolio companies. These proposals include, among others, safeguarding of advisory client assets for

registered investment advisers. In March 2024, the SEC adopted final public company climate-related disclosures rules

requiring registrants to disclose, among other things, material climate-related risks; activities to mitigate or adapt to such risks;

information about the registrant’s board of directors’ oversight of climate-related risks and management’s role in managing

material climate-related risks; and information on any climate-related targets or goals that are material to the registrant’s

business, results of operations, or financial condition. In addition, the final rules require disclosure of Scope 1 and/or Scope 2

greenhouse gas emissions on a phased-in basis by certain larger registrants when those emissions are material; the filing of an

attestation report covering the required disclosure of such registrants’ Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 emissions, also on a phased-in

basis; and disclosure of the financial statement effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions including, for

example, costs and losses. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of the climate-related disclosure rules,

pending completion of judicial review of consolidated challenges to the rules by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth

Circuit.

In addition, on June 5, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit vacated new rules and amendments to

existing rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, which were adopted by the SEC in August 2023 (collectively, the

“Private Fund Adviser Rules”). The SEC did not seek reconsideration of the Fifth Circuit’s June ruling by the July 24, 2024

deadline, and the future of the Private Fund Adviser Rules remains in doubt. We are closely evaluating potential impacts to our

business of these rule proposals and adoptions and various financial, regulatory, and other proposals put forth by the current

Administration and Congress. The potential for policy changes may create regulatory uncertainty for our investment strategies

and our portfolio companies and could adversely affect our profitability and the profitability of our portfolio companies.

Recent Developments

Dividends

In July 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share to common stockholders

of record at the close of business on August 16, 2024, payable on August 26, 2024.

Key Financial Measures

Our key financial measures and operating metrics are discussed in the following pages. Additional information regarding

U.S. GAAP measures and our other significant accounting policies can be found in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting

Policies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenues

Revenues primarily consist of Fund management fees, Incentive fees, Investment income (including Performance

allocations, realized and unrealized gains of our investments in our funds and other principal investments), as well as Interest

and other income.

Fund management fees. Fund management fees include management fees and transaction and portfolio advisory fees. We

earn management fees for advisory services we provide to funds in which we hold a general partner interest or to funds or

certain portfolio companies with which we have an investment advisory or investment management agreement. These fees are

largely from either traditional closed-end, long-dated funds, which are highly predictable and stable, or Perpetual Capital

products as defined below. Management fees also include catch-up management fees, which are episodic in nature and

represent 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. We also earn management fees on our CLOs and other structured

products. 

Transaction and portfolio advisory fees. Transaction and portfolio advisory fees generally include capital markets fees

generated by Carlyle Global Capital Markets in connection with activities related to the underwriting, issuance and placement

of debt and equity securities, and loan syndication for our portfolio companies and third-party clients, which are generally not

subject to rebate offsets as described below with respect to our most recent vintages (but are subject to the rebate offsets set

forth below for older funds). Underwriting fees include gains, losses and fees arising from securities offerings in which we

participate in the underwriter syndicate.

Transaction and portfolio advisory fees also include fees we receive for the transaction and portfolio advisory services we

provide to our portfolio companies. When covered by separate contractual agreements, we recognize transaction and portfolio

advisory fees for these services when the performance obligation has been satisfied and collection is reasonably assured. We are

generally required to offset our fund management fees by the transaction and advisory fees earned, which we refer to as “rebate

offsets.”

The recognition of portfolio advisory fees, transactions fees, and capital markets fees can be volatile as they are primarily

generated by investment activity within our funds, and therefore are impacted by our investment pace.

Incentive fees. Incentive fees consist of performance-based incentive arrangements pursuant to management contracts,

primarily from certain of our Global Credit funds, when the return on assets under management exceeds certain benchmark

returns or other performance targets.  In such arrangements, incentive fees are recognized when the performance benchmark has

been achieved.

Investment income (loss). Investment income (loss) consists of our performance allocations as well as the realized and

unrealized gains and losses resulting from our equity method investments and other principal investments. 

Performance allocations consist principally of the performance-based capital allocation from fund limited partners to us,

commonly referred to as carried interest, from certain of our investment funds, which we refer to as the “carry funds.” Carried

interest revenue is recognized by Carlyle upon appreciation of the valuation of our 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 us pursuant to the

fund partnership agreement at each period end as if the funds were liquidated at such date. Accordingly, the amount of carried

interest recognized as performance allocations reflects our share of the fair value gains and losses of the associated funds’

underlying investments measured at their then-current fair values relative to the fair values as of the end of the prior period. As

a result, the performance allocations earned in an applicable reporting period are not indicative of any future period, as fair

values are based on conditions prevalent as of the reporting date. Refer to “—Trends Affecting our Business” for further

discussion.

For any given period, performance allocations revenue on our statement of operations may include reversals of previously

recognized performance allocations due to a decrease in the value of a particular fund that results in a decrease of cumulative

performance allocations earned to date. Since fund return hurdles are cumulative, previously recognized performance

Table of Contents

77

allocations also may be reversed in a period of appreciation that is lower than the particular fund’s hurdle rate. Additionally,

unrealized performance allocations reverse when performance allocations are realized, and unrealized performance allocations

can be negative if the amount of realized performance allocations exceed total performance allocations generated in the period.

The timing and receipt of realized performance allocations varies with the lifecycle of our carry funds and there is often a

difference between the time we start accruing performance allocations and realization. The timing of performance allocations

realizations from our Global Investment Solutions, Carlyle Aviation, and Abingworth funds is typically later than in our other

carry funds based on the terms of such arrangements.

Under our arrangements with the historical owners and management teams of AlpInvest and Abingworth, the amount of

carried interest to which we are entitled varies. In some cases, we are entitled to 15% of the carried interest in respect of

commitments from the historical owners of AlpInvest for the period between 2011 and 2020. In certain instances, carried

interest associated with the AlpInvest fund vehicles is subject to entity level income taxes in the Netherlands. Additionally, in

connection with the acquisition of Abingworth, we are entitled to 15% of carried interest generated from certain Abingworth

funds.

Realized carried interest may be clawed back or given back to the fund if the fund’s investment values decline below

certain return hurdles, which vary from fund to fund. This amount is known as the “giveback obligation.” In all cases, each

investment fund is considered separately in evaluating carried interest and potential giveback obligations. 

Accrued performance allocations and accrued giveback obligations at a point in time assume a hypothetical liquidation of

the funds’ investments at their then current fair values. Each investment fund is considered separately in evaluating carried

interest and potential giveback obligations. These assets and liabilities will continue to fluctuate in accordance with the fair

values of the funds’ investments until they are realized. The Company uses “net accrued performance revenues” to refer to the

aggregation of the accrued performance allocations and incentive fees net of (i) accrued giveback obligations, (ii) accrued

performance allocations and incentive fee related compensation, (iii) performance allocations and incentive fee related tax

obligations, and (iv) accrued performance allocations and incentive fees attributable to non-controlling interests. Net accrued

performance revenues excludes any net accrued performance allocations and incentive fees that have been realized but will be

collected in subsequent periods, as well as net accrued performance revenues which are presented as fee related performance

revenues when realized in our non-GAAP financial measures. Realized performance allocation-related compensation associated

with our updated compensation program that has not yet been paid is also excluded from our net accrued performance

allocations.

In addition, realized performance allocations may be reversed in future periods to the extent that such amounts become

subject to a giveback obligation. The aggregate amount of giveback obligations realized since Carlyle’s inception totaled

$242.4 million, $160.8 million of which was related to various Legacy Energy Funds. Given that current and former senior

Carlyle professionals and other limited partners of the Carlyle Holdings partnerships are responsible for paying the majority of

the realized giveback obligation, only $72.3 million of the $242.4 million aggregate giveback obligation realized since

inception was attributable to Carlyle. The realization of giveback obligations for the Company’s portion of such obligations

reduces Distributable Earnings in the period realized. Further, each individual who holds equity interests in carried interest

generated by our funds and is a recipient of realized carried interest typically signs a guarantee agreement or partnership

agreement that personally obligates such person to return his/her pro rata share of any amounts of realized carried interest

previously distributed that are later clawed back. Accordingly, carried interest as performance allocation compensation is

subject to return to the Company in the event a giveback obligation is funded. Generally, the actual giveback liability, if any,

does not become due until the end of a fund’s life.

In addition, in our discussion of our non-GAAP results, we use the term “realized net performance revenues” to refer to

realized performance allocations and incentive fees from our funds, net of the portion allocated to our investment professionals,

and other employees and certain tax expenses associated with carried interest attributable to certain partners and employees,

which are reflected as realized performance allocations and incentive fees related compensation expense. See “—Non-GAAP

Financial Measures” and “—Segment Analysis” for the amount of realized net performance revenues recognized each period

and related discussion.

Investment income also represents the realized and unrealized gains and losses on our principal investments, including

our investments in Carlyle funds that are not consolidated, and our strategic investments in NGP as described below, as well as

any interest and other income. Realized principal investment income (loss) is recorded when we redeem all or a portion of our

investment or when we receive or are due cash income, such as dividends or distributions. A realized principal investment loss

is also recorded when an investment is deemed to be worthless. Unrealized principal investment income (loss) results from

changes in the fair value of the underlying investment, as well as the reversal of previously recognized unrealized gains (losses)

at the time an investment is realized.

Table of Contents

78

We account for our investments in NGP under the equity method of accounting. Our investments in NGP include the

equity interests in NGP Management Company, L.L.C. (“NGP Management”) and the general partners of certain carry funds

advised by NGP. These interests entitle us to an allocation of income equal to 55.0% of the management fee related revenues of

NGP Management, which serves as the investment advisor to certain NGP funds as well as 47.5% (40% or 42.75% in the case

of certain funds) of the performance allocations that NGP receives from the NGP Carry Funds. We record investment income

(loss) for our equity income allocation from NGP management fee related revenues and also record our share of any allocated

expenses from NGP Management, as well as expenses associated with the compensatory elements of the strategic investment.

We also record our equity income allocation from NGP performance allocations in principal investment income (loss) from

equity method investments rather than performance allocations in our consolidated statements of operations. We do not control

or manage NGP. Moreover, we do not operate NGP’s business, have representation on NGP’s board or serve as an investment

advisor to any investment fund sponsored by NGP, nor do we direct the operations of any of NGP portfolio companies. While

we have consent rights over certain major actions by NGP outside of the ordinary course of NGP’s business (including, for

example, consent rights over items such as amendments to the organizational documents of the entity in which we are invested,

changes to the management fee streams earned by NGP under its fund agreements, or the incurrence of certain debt by NGP

and other similar items), we have no voting rights or consent rights on any NGP investment committee that selects investments

to be made by NGP funds. For further information regarding our strategic investments in NGP, refer to Note 4, Investments, to

the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest and other income. Interest and other income primarily represents reimbursement of certain costs incurred on

behalf of our funds as well as interest income that we earn such as from our cash and money market accounts and other

investments, including CLO senior and subordinated notes.

Interest and other income of Consolidated Funds. Interest and other income of Consolidated Funds primarily represents

the interest earned on assets of consolidated CLOs.

Net investment income (loss) of Consolidated Funds. Net investment income (loss) of Consolidated Funds generally

measures the change in the difference in fair value between the assets and the liabilities of the Consolidated Funds. Income

(loss) indicates that the fair value of the assets of the Consolidated Funds appreciated more (less), or depreciated less (more),

than the fair value of the liabilities of the Consolidated Funds. Income or loss is not necessarily indicative of the investment

performance of the Consolidated Funds and does not impact the management or incentive fees received by Carlyle for its

management of the Consolidated Funds. The portion of the net investment income (losses) of Consolidated Funds attributable

to the limited partner investors is allocated to non-controlling interests. Therefore, income or loss is not expected to have a

material impact on the revenues or profitability of the Company. Moreover, although the assets of the Consolidated Funds are

consolidated onto our balance sheet pursuant to U.S. GAAP, ultimately we do not have recourse to such assets and such

liabilities are generally non-recourse to us. Therefore, income or loss from the Consolidated Funds generally does not impact

the assets available to our common stockholders.

Expenses

Compensation and benefits. Compensation includes salaries, bonuses, equity-based compensation, and performance

payment arrangements. Bonuses are accrued over the service period to which they relate.

We recognize as compensation expense the portion of performance allocations and incentive fees that are due to our

employees, senior Carlyle professionals, advisors, and operating executives in a manner consistent with how we recognize the

performance allocations and incentive fee revenue. These amounts are accounted for as compensation expense in conjunction

with the related performance allocations and incentive fee revenue and, until paid, are recognized as a component of the accrued

compensation and benefits liability. Compensation in respect of performance allocations and incentive fees is paid when the

related performance allocations and incentive fees are realized, and not when such performance allocations and incentive fees

are accrued. The funds do not have a uniform allocation of performance allocations and incentive fees to our employees, senior

Carlyle professionals, advisors, and operating executives. However, subsequent to the updates made to our compensation

strategy effective December 31, 2023, we generally allocate a range of 60% to 70% of performance allocations and incentive

fees to our employees. As a result, the portion of performance allocations and incentive fees paid as compensation has increased

and cash-based compensation and benefits has decreased in 2024 compared to the prior period.

In addition, we have implemented various equity-based compensation arrangements that require senior Carlyle

professionals and other employees to provide services over a service period of generally one year to four years in order to vest

in the applicable equity interests, which under U.S. GAAP will result in compensation charges over current and future periods.

In certain of our equity-based compensation arrangements, vesting is based on the achievement of certain performance targets

Table of Contents

79

or market conditions (see Note 14, Equity-Based Compensation). Compensation charges associated with all equity-based

compensation grants are excluded from Fee Related Earnings and Distributable Earnings.

We may hire additional individuals and overall compensation levels may correspondingly increase, which could result in

an increase in compensation and benefits expense.  As a result of prior acquisitions, we have charges associated with contingent

consideration taking the form of earn-outs and profit participation, some of which are reflected as compensation expense.

General, administrative and other expenses. General, administrative and other expenses include occupancy and

equipment expenses and other expenses, which consist principally of professional fees, including those related to our global

regulatory compliance program, external costs of fundraising, travel and related expenses, communications and information

services, depreciation and amortization (including intangible asset amortization and impairment), bad debt expense, and foreign

currency transactions. We expect that general, administrative and other expenses will vary due to infrequently occurring or

unusual items, such as impairment of intangible assets or lease right-of-use assets and expenses or insurance recoveries

associated with litigation and contingencies. Also, in periods of significant fundraising, to the extent that we use third parties to

assist in our fundraising efforts, our general, administrative and other expenses may increase accordingly. Similarly, our

general, administrative and other expenses may increase as a result of professional and other fees incurred as part of due

diligence related to strategic acquisitions and new product development. Additionally, we anticipate that general, administrative

and other expenses will fluctuate from period to period due to the impact of foreign exchange transactions.

Interest and other expenses of Consolidated Funds. Interest and other expenses of Consolidated Funds consist primarily

of interest expense related primarily to loans of consolidated CLOs, professional fees and other third-party expenses.

Income taxes. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and 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 basis, 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 in which the change is enacted. Deferred tax

assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be

realized. 

Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Entities. Non-controlling interests in consolidated entities represent the

component of equity in consolidated entities not held by us. These interests are adjusted for general partner allocations.

Earnings Per Common Share. We compute earnings per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per

Share. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the common shares of the

Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share

reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Distributable Earnings. Distributable Earnings, or “DE,” is a key performance benchmark used in our industry and is

evaluated regularly by management in making resource deployment and compensation decisions, and in assessing the

performance of our three segments. We also use DE in our budgeting, forecasting, and the overall management of our

segments. We believe that reporting DE is helpful to understanding our business and that investors should review the same

supplemental financial measure that management uses to analyze our segment performance. DE is intended to show the amount

of net realized earnings without the effects of consolidation of the Consolidated Funds. DE is derived from our segment

reported results and is an additional measure to assess performance.

Distributable Earnings differs from income (loss) before provision for income taxes computed in accordance with U.S.

GAAP in that it includes certain tax expenses associated with certain foreign performance revenues (comprised of performance

allocations and incentive fees), and does not include unrealized performance allocations and related compensation expense,

unrealized principal investment income, equity-based compensation expense, net income (loss) attributable to non-Carlyle

interest in consolidated entities, or charges (credits) related to Carlyle corporate actions and non-recurring items that affect

period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of the Company’s operational performance. Charges (credits) related to

Carlyle corporate actions and non-recurring items include: charges associated with acquisitions, dispositions, or strategic

investments, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, amortization and any impairment charges associated with

acquired intangible assets, transaction costs associated with acquisitions and dispositions, charges associated with earn-outs and

contingent consideration including gains and losses associated with the estimated fair value of contingent consideration issued

in conjunction with acquisitions or strategic investments, impairment charges associated with lease right-of-use assets, gains

and losses from the retirement of debt, charges associated with contract terminations and employee severance, and certain

Table of Contents

80

general, administrative and other expenses when the timing of any future payment is uncertain, and non-recurring items that

affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of the Company’s operating performance. We believe the inclusion

or exclusion of these items provides investors with a meaningful indication of our core operating performance. This measure

supplements and should be considered in addition to and not in lieu of the results of operations discussed further under “—

Consolidated Results of Operations” prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Fee Related Earnings. Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE,” is a component of DE and is used to assess the ability of the

business to cover base compensation and operating expenses from total fee revenues. FRE adjusts DE to exclude net realized

performance revenues, realized principal investment income from investments in Carlyle funds, and net interest (interest

income less interest expense). Fee Related Earnings includes fee related performance revenues and related compensation

expense, which is generally approximately 45% of fee related performance revenues. Fee related performance revenues

represent the realized portion of performance revenues that are measured and received on a recurring basis, are not dependent

on realization events, and which have no risk of giveback.

Operating Metrics

We monitor certain operating metrics that are common to the asset management industry.

Fee-earning Assets under Management. Fee-earning assets under management or Fee-earning AUM refers to the assets

we manage or advise from which we derive recurring fund management fees. Our Fee-earning AUM is generally based on one

of the following, once fees have been activated:

(a)the amount of limited partner capital commitments, generally for carry funds where the original investment period

has not expired and for AlpInvest carry funds during the commitment fee period (see “Fee-earning AUM based on

capital commitments” in the table below for the amount of this component at each period);

(b)the remaining amount of limited partner invested capital at cost, generally for carry funds and certain co-

investment vehicles where the original investment period has expired and one of our business development

companies (see “Fee-earning AUM based on invested capital” in the table below for the amount of this component

at each period);

(c)the amount of aggregate fee-earning collateral balance at par of our CLOs and other securitization vehicles, as

defined in the fund indentures (pre-2020 CLO vintages are generally exclusive of equities and defaulted positions)

as of the quarterly cut-off date;

(d)the external investor portion of the net asset value of certain carry funds (see “Fee-earning AUM based on net

asset value” in the table below for the amount of this component at each period);

(e)the fair value of Fortitude’s general account assets invested under the strategic advisory services agreement (see

“Fee-earning AUM based on fair value and other” in the table below);

(f)the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), excluding cash and cash equivalents, of one of our

business development companies and certain carry funds (included in “Fee-earning AUM based on lower of cost

or fair value and other” in the table below); and

(g)the lower of cost or fair value of invested capital, generally for AlpInvest carry funds where the commitment fee

period has expired and certain carry funds where the investment period has expired, (included in “Fee-earning

AUM based on lower of cost or fair value and other” in the table below).

(1)Inflows represents limited partner capital raised by our carry funds or separately managed accounts for which management fees based on

commitments were activated during the period, the fee-earning commitments invested in vehicles for which management fees are based

on invested capital, the fee-earning collateral balance of new CLO issuances, closed reinsurance transactions at Fortitude, as well as

gross subscriptions in our vehicles for which management fees are based on net asset value. Inflows exclude fundraising amounts during

the period for which fees have not yet been activated, which are referenced as Pending Fee-earning AUM. Inflows for the six months

ended June 30, 2023 include $2.4 billion of Fee-earning AUM related to closed reinsurance transactions at Fortitude.

(2)Outflows represents the impact of realizations from vehicles with management fees based on remaining invested capital at cost or fair

value, changes in basis for funds where the investment period, weighted-average investment period or commitment fee period has

expired during the period, reductions for funds that are no longer calling for fees, gross redemptions in our open-end funds, and outflows

from our liquid credit products. Distributions for funds earning management fees based on commitments during the period do not affect

Fee-earning AUM.

(3)Market Activity & Other represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds based on the lower

of cost or fair value and net asset value, activity of funds with fees based on gross asset value, and changes in the fair value of Fortitude’s

general account assets covered by the strategic advisory services agreement.

(4)Foreign Exchange represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated

funds. 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.

Refer to “—Segment Analysis” for a detailed discussion by segment of the activity affecting Fee-earning AUM for each

of the periods presented by segment.

Assets under Management. Assets under management or “AUM” refers to the assets we manage or advise. Our AUM

generally equals the sum of the following:

(a)  the aggregate fair value of our carry funds and related co-investment vehicles, and separately managed accounts, 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 of certain carry funds;

(d)the fair value of Fortitude’s general account assets invested under the strategic advisory services agreement; and

(e) the gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage) of our business development companies, plus the capital that

Carlyle is entitled to call from investors in those vehicles pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to those

vehicles.

Table of Contents

83

The chart below presents Total AUM by segment at each period, in billions.

We include in our calculation of AUM and Fee-earning AUM the NGP Energy Funds that are advised by NGP. Our

calculation of AUM also includes third-party capital raised for the investment in Fortitude through a Carlyle-affiliated

investment fund and from strategic investors who directly invest in Fortitude alongside the fund. The AUM and Fee-earning

AUM related to the strategic advisory services agreement with Fortitude is inclusive of the net asset value of investments in

Carlyle products. These amounts are also reflected in the AUM and Fee-earning AUM of the strategy in which they are

invested.

For most of our Global Private Equity and Global Investment Solutions carry funds, 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, depending on whether the original 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.

Our calculations of AUM and Fee-earning AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers. As a result,

these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. In addition, our calculation of

AUM (but not Fee-earning AUM) includes uncalled commitments to, and the fair value of invested capital in, our investment

funds from Carlyle and our personnel, regardless of whether such commitments or invested capital are subject to management

fees or performance allocations. Our calculations of AUM or Fee-earning AUM are not based on any definition of AUM or

Fee-earning AUM that is set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds that we manage or advise.

We generally use Fee-earning AUM as a metric to measure changes in the assets from which we earn recurring

management fees. Total AUM tends to be a better measure of our investment and fundraising performance as it reflects

investments at fair value plus available capital.

(1)Inflows reflects the impact of gross fundraising and closed reinsurance transactions at Fortitude during the period. For funds or vehicles

denominated in foreign currencies, this reflects translation at the average quarterly rate, while the separately reported Fundraising metric

is translated at the spot rate for each individual closing.

(2)Outflows includes distributions net of recallable or recyclable amounts in our carry funds, related co-investment vehicles, and separately

managed accounts, gross redemptions in our open-end funds, outflows from our liquid credit products, and the expiration of available

capital.

(3)Market Activity & Other generally represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds and

related co-investment vehicles, and separately managed accounts, as well as the net impact of fees, expenses and non-investment income,

change in gross asset value for our business development companies, changes in the fair value of Fortitude’s general account assets

covered by the strategic advisory services agreement, and other changes in AUM.

(4)Foreign Exchange represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated

funds. 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.

Please refer to “—Segment Analysis” for a detailed discussion by segment of the activity affecting Total AUM for each

of the periods presented.

Available Capital. “Available Capital” refers to the amount of capital commitments available to be called for investments,

which may be reduced for equity invested that is funded via a fund credit facility and expected to be called from investors at a

later date, plus any additional assets/liabilities at the fund level other than active investments. Amounts previously called may

be added back to available capital following certain distributions. “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.

Perpetual Capital. “Perpetual Capital” refers to the assets we manage or advise which have an indefinite term and for

which there is no immediate requirement to return capital to investors upon the realization of investments made with such

capital, except as required by applicable law. Perpetual Capital may be materially reduced or terminated under certain

conditions, including reductions from changes in valuations and payments to investors, including through elections by investors

to redeem their investments, dividend payments, and other payment obligations, as well as the termination of or failure to renew

the respective investment advisory agreements. Perpetual Capital includes: (a) assets managed under the strategic advisory

services agreement with Fortitude, (b) our Core Plus real estate fund, (c) our business development companies and certain other

direct lending products, (d) Carlyle Tactical Private Credit Fund (“CTAC”) and (e) our closed-end tender offer fund Carlyle

AlpInvest Private Markets Fund (“CAPM”). As of June 30, 2024, our total AUM and Fee-earning AUM included $93.3 billion

and $90.4 billion, respectively, of Perpetual Capital.

Performance Fee Eligible AUM. “Performance Fee Eligible AUM” represents the AUM of funds for which we are

entitled to receive performance allocations, inclusive of the fair value of investments in those funds (which we refer to as

“Performance Fee Eligible Fair Value”) and their Available Capital. Performance Fee Eligible Fair Value is “Performance Fee-

Generating” when the associated fund has achieved the specified investment returns required under the terms of the fund’s

agreement and is accruing performance revenue as of the quarter-end reporting date. Funds whose performance allocations are

treated as fee related performance allocations are excluded from these metrics. As of June 30, 2024, our total AUM included

$223.5 billion of Performance Fee Eligible AUM.

Consolidation of Certain Carlyle Funds

The Company consolidates all entities that it controls either through a majority voting interest or as the primary

beneficiary of variable interest entities. The entities we consolidate are referred to collectively as the Consolidated Funds in our

condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2024, our Consolidated Funds represent approximately 2% of our

AUM; 1% of our management fees for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024; and less than 1% and 5% of our total

investment income or loss on an unconsolidated basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

We are not required under the consolidation guidance to consolidate in our financial statements most of the investment

funds we advise. However, we consolidate certain CLOs and certain other funds that we advise. As of June 30, 2024, the assets

and liabilities of the Consolidated Funds were primarily related to our consolidated CLOs, which held approximately $8.7

billion of total assets of the Consolidated Funds. The assets and liabilities of the Consolidated Funds are generally held within

separate legal entities and, as a result, the liabilities of the Consolidated Funds are non-recourse to us.

Generally, the consolidation of the Consolidated Funds has a gross-up effect on our assets, liabilities and cash flows but

has no net effect on the net income attributable to the Company and equity. The majority of the net economic ownership

interests of the Consolidated Funds are reflected as non-controlling interests in consolidated entities in the consolidated

financial statements.

The Consolidated Funds are not the same entities in all periods presented. The Consolidated Funds in future periods may

change due to changes in fund terms, formation of new funds, and terminations of funds. Because only a small portion of our

funds are consolidated, the performance of the Consolidated Funds is not necessarily consistent with or representative of the

combined performance trends of all of our funds.

For further information on our consolidation policy and the consolidation of certain funds, see Note 2, Summary of

Significant Accounting Policies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on

Form 10-Q.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following table and discussion sets forth information regarding our condensed consolidated results of operations for

the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared

on substantially the same basis for all historical periods presented; however, the consolidated funds are not the same entities in

all periods shown due to changes in fund terms and the creation and termination of funds. As further described above, the

consolidation of these funds primarily has the impact of increasing interest and other income of Consolidated Funds, interest

and other expenses of Consolidated Funds, and net investment income (losses) of Consolidated Funds in the year that the fund

is initially consolidated. The consolidation of these funds had no effect on net income attributable to the Company for the

periods presented.

Revenues

Fund management fees. Fund management fees increased $26.6 million, or 5.2%, for the three months ended June 30,

2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased $49.4 million, or 4.9%, for the six months ended

June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the following:

	Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024 v. 2023
	(Dollars in millions)
Higher management fees from the commencement of the investment period for certain newly raised funds	$24.2	$47.0
Lower management fees resulting from the change in basis from commitments to invested capital and step-downs in rate for certain funds, and the impact of net investment activity in funds whose management fees are based on invested capital, including the impact of changes in the base under the strategic advisory services agreement with Fortitude	(6.3)	(11.4)
Decrease in catch-up management fees from subsequent closes of funds that are in the fundraising period	(0.3)	(3.9)
Higher transaction and portfolio advisory fees	9.7	20.1
All other changes	(0.7)	(2.4)
Total increase in Fund management fees(1)	$26.6	$49.4

(1)Total increase in Fund management fees does not include our equity income allocation from NGP management fee related revenues. We do not control

NGP and account for our strategic investment in NGP as an equity method investment under U.S. GAAP.  Therefore, Fund management fees associated

with NGP are included in Principal investment income (loss) in our U.S. GAAP results.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, no funds generated over 10% of total management fees. Management

fees attributable to Carlyle Partners VIII, L.P. (“CP VIII”), our eighth U.S. buyout fund, were approximately 11% of fund

management fees recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. No other fund generated over 10% of total

management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Fee-earning assets under management in our Global Credit

and Global Investment Solutions businesses have grown 23% and 26%, respectively, over the last twelve months, while Global

Private Equity has decreased 3%. As a result, Fund management fees increased in Global Credit and Global Investment

Solutions and decreased in Global Private Equity, due in part to smaller buyout fund sizes in our corporate private equity

strategy.

Fund management fees include transaction and portfolio advisory fees, net of rebate offsets, of $26.2 million and

$16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $50.0 million and $29.9 million for the six

months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Incentive fees. Incentive fees increased $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023, and

increased $16.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to an increase in incentive fees

realized in our Global Credit segment, primarily related to platform initiatives, which included CTAC.

Investment income (loss). Investment income (loss) increased $540.3 million to $286.3 million for the three months ended

June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased $283.9 million to $202.4 million for the six

months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The components of Investment income (loss)

are included in the following table:

Performance allocations. Performance allocations by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and six

months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 comprised the following:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Change		Six Months Ended June 30,		Change
	2024	2023	$	%	2024	2023	$	%
	(Dollars in millions)

Total performance allocations	$198.2	$(246.8)	$445.0	NM	$41.2	$(86.0)	$127.2	NM

Performance allocations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 included the following:

•In our Global Private Equity segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024, performance allocation accruals

driven by appreciation in our CP VII, CAP IV, and infrastructure & natural resources funds were partially offset by

the reversal of performance allocations in CP VI due to depreciation in the portfolio. For the six months ended June

30, 2024, reversals of performance allocations were largely driven by CP VI due to portfolio depreciation, CP VII

due to preferred returns outpacing carry fund portfolio appreciation, and CEP V due to the impact of preferred

returns. These reversals were partially offset by performance allocation accruals in our infrastructure & natural

resources funds.

•In our Global Credit segment, performance allocation accruals in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

were primarily driven by appreciation in our opportunistic credit and certain aviation funds.

•In our Global Investment Solutions segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024, reversals of performance

allocations in our secondaries & portfolio finance strategy driven by portfolio depreciation were partially offset by

performance allocation accruals in our co-investment strategy. For the six months ended, performance allocation

accruals were primarily driven by our secondaries & portfolio finance and co-investment strategies.

Performance allocations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 included the following:

•In our Global Private Equity segment, the reversal of performance allocations for the three and six months ended

June 30, 2023 were primarily driven by CP VII, as preferred returns outpaced portfolio appreciation, and the impact

of portfolio depreciation in CAP V.

•In our Global Credit segment, performance allocation accruals for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023

were largely driven by portfolio appreciation in CCOF II.

•In our Global Investment Solutions segment, performance allocation accruals for the three and six months ended

June 30, 2023 were primarily driven by our secondaries & portfolio finance strategy. The three months ended June

30, 2023 was also driven by performance allocation accruals in our co-investment strategy.

See “—Trends Affecting Our Business” for further discussion the macroeconomic, geopolitical and industry landscape

and our investment activity.

Principal investment income (loss). The increase in Principal investment income (loss) for the three and six months ended

June 30, 2024 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to an investment loss of $104.0

million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 related to our equity method investment in Carlyle FRL, which

was recorded as a result of the dilution of our indirect ownership in Fortitude (see Note 4, Investments, to the condensed

consolidated financial statements for more information). This was partially offset by a decrease in investment income related to

our equity method investment in the general partners of certain carry funds advised by NGP, primarily driven by portfolio

depreciation in NGP XI and lower portfolio appreciation in NGP XII. In addition, other investment income in the six months

ended June 30, 2023 includes an unrealized investment loss of $13.3 million associated with the remeasurement of a corporate

investment in equity securities, which was previously carried at cost, resulting from an observable price change pursuant to

ASC 321, Investments–Equity Securities.

Interest and other income. Interest and other income increased $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as

compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Interest and other income increased $15.5 million for the six months ended

June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily as a result of an increase in the reimbursement of

certain costs incurred on behalf of Carlyle funds as well as interest income from higher yields on cash and investments in CLO

notes.

Interest and other income of Consolidated Funds. Interest and other income of Consolidated Funds increased $28.5

million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased $71.5

million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven primarily by an

increase in interest income from consolidated CLOs. Our CLOs generate interest income primarily from investments in bonds

and loans, inclusive of amortization of discounts, and generate other income from consent and amendment fees. Substantially

all interest and other income of the CLOs and other consolidated funds together with interest expense of our CLOs and net

investment gains (losses) of Consolidated Funds is attributable to the related funds’ limited partners or CLO investors.

Accordingly, such amounts have no material impact on net income attributable to the Company.

Expenses

Compensation and benefits. Total compensation and benefits increased $229.3 million for the three months ended June

30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased $66.4 million for the six months ended June 30,

2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by an increase in Performance allocations and incentive fee

related compensation of $236.4 million and $57.9 million, respectively, and an increase in equity-based compensation of $57.2

million and $111.1 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in cash-based compensation and benefits of $64.3

million and $102.6 million, respectively.

Cash-based compensation and benefits. The decrease in Cash-based compensation and benefits during the three and six

months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the updates to our compensation program under which we pay a greater

portion of compensation from performance allocations.

Equity-based compensation. The increase in Equity-based compensation during the three and six months ended June 30,

2024 was driven by an increase in restricted stock units granted in 2024. In February 2024, we granted 18.1 million restricted

stock units, including 13.2 million restricted stock units granted to certain Carlyle professionals which are subject to vesting

based on the achievement of stock price performance conditions over a service period of three years. The grant date fair value

of the awards subject to stock price performance conditions was approximately $347 million and the three and six months

Table of Contents

90

ended June 30, 2024 include $56.7 million and $90.6 million, respectively, of equity-based compensation expense related to

these awards. Such expense is incurred regardless of whether the stock price performance conditions are achieved. In February

2023, we granted a total of 9.9 million restricted stock units to our personnel, including certain senior Carlyle professionals and

other key personnel, as well as an aggregate 6.8 million of time- and performance-based inducement equity awards in

connection with the appointment of our Chief Executive Officer.

Performance allocations and incentive fee related compensation. The increase in Performance allocations and incentive

fee related compensation expense was primarily driven by accruals of Performance allocations during the three and six months

ended June 30, 2024 on which the related compensation is based, as well as the increase in the proportion of our Performance

allocations used to compensate our personnel as part of an update to our compensation program, which was effective December

31, 2023.

General, administrative and other expenses. General, administrative and other expenses increased $19.4 million for the

three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased $7.9 million for the six

months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by an increase in liabilities

for litigation-related contingencies, regulatory examination and inquiries, and other matters of $25 million and $35 million,

respectively. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in foreign translation adjustments of $11.2 million and $23.5

million, respectively, reflecting a foreign exchange gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a

foreign exchange loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 related to the movement in the Euro relative to the U.S.

dollar.

Interest and other expenses of Consolidated Funds. Interest and other expenses of Consolidated Funds increased $50.0

million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased $80.9

million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to higher

interest expense on the consolidated CLOs. The CLOs incur interest expense on their loans payable and incur other expenses

consisting of trustee fees, rating agency fees and professional fees. Substantially all interest and other income of our CLOs

together with interest expense of our CLOs and net investment gains (losses) of Consolidated Funds is attributable to the related

funds’ limited partners or CLO investors. Accordingly, such amounts have no material impact on net income attributable to the

Company.

Net investment income (loss) of Consolidated Funds. The table below summarizes the components of Net investment

income (loss) of Consolidated Funds, including our consolidated CLOs and certain other funds:

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

Total net investment income (loss) of Consolidated Funds	$(5.1)	$15.6	$(20.7)	NM	$(12.1)	$19.2	$(31.3)	NM

Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes was $69.5 million and $(7.3)

million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $91.4 million and $27.0 million for the six

months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 32% and 10% for the

three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and approximately 27% and 30% for the six months ended June 30,

2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 primarily

comprised the 21% U.S. federal corporate income tax rate, the impact of U.S. state and foreign income taxes, and disallowed

executive compensation, partially offset by non-controlling interest and equity-based compensation deductions. The effective

tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 also includes an increase related to other non-deductible expenses. 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had federal, state, local and foreign taxes payable of

$46.3 million and $46.9 million, respectively, which is recorded as a component of accounts payable, accrued expenses and

other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidated entities. Net income attributable to non-controlling

interests in consolidated entities was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $35.7 million for

the three months ended June 30, 2023, and $34.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $60.3 million

for the six months ended June 30, 2023. These amounts are primarily attributable to the net earnings of the Consolidated Funds

for each period, which are substantially all allocated to the related fund’s limited partners or CLO investors, as well as net

earnings from our Insurance Solutions business and certain other products that are allocated to certain third party investors.

These amounts also reflect the net income attributable to non-controlling interests in carried interest, giveback obligations, and

cash held for carried interest distributions. The net income (loss) of our Consolidated Funds, after eliminations, was $(4.3)

million and $31.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $8.4 million and $48.3 million

for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following tables set forth information in the format used by management when making resource deployment

decisions and in assessing performance of our segments. These Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for the three and

six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Our Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects of unrealized performance

allocations net of related compensation expense, unrealized principal investment income, consolidated funds, acquisition and

disposition-related items including amortization and any impairment charges of acquired intangible assets and contingent

consideration taking the form of earn-outs, impairment charges associated with lease right-of-use assets, charges associated

with equity-based compensation, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, corporate actions and infrequently occurring

or unusual events.

Segment Analysis

Discussed below is our DE and FRE for our segments for the periods presented. Our segment information is reflected in

the manner used by our senior management to make operating and compensation decisions, assess performance and allocate

resources.

For segment reporting purposes, revenues and expenses are presented on a basis that deconsolidates our Consolidated

Funds. As a result, segment revenues from management fees, realized performance revenues and realized principal investment

income (loss) are different than those presented on a consolidated U.S. GAAP basis because these revenues recognized in

certain segments are received from Consolidated Funds and are eliminated in consolidation when presented on a consolidated

U.S. GAAP basis. Furthermore, segment expenses are different than related amounts presented on a consolidated U.S. GAAP

basis due to the exclusion of fund expenses that are paid by the Consolidated Funds. Our realigned compensation program

positively impacted Fee Related Earnings and reduced the portion of realized performance revenues retained by the Company in

the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings decreased $121.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three

months ended June 30, 2023 and increased $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months

ended June 30, 2023. The following table provides the components of the changes in Distributable Earnings for the three and

six months ended June 30, 2024:

	Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024 v. 2023
	(Dollars in millions)
Distributable Earnings, June 30, 2023	$320.7	$503.5
Increases (decreases):
Increase in fee related earnings	1.9	33.6
Decrease in realized net performance revenues	(120.8)	(34.0)
(Decrease) increase in realized principal investment income	(6.4)	0.6
Decrease in net interest	3.7	8.5
Total (decrease) increase	(121.6)	8.7
Distributable Earnings, June 30, 2024	$199.1	$512.2

Realized Net Performance Revenues. Realized net performance revenues decreased $120.8 million for the three months

ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased $34.0 million for the six months

ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in realizations in U.S.

Growth funds, partially offset by realizations in CIEP I. Additionally, the decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was

partially offset by realizations in CAP IV.

Fee Related Earnings

Fee Related Earnings increased $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months

ended June 30, 2023 and increased $33.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended

June 30, 2023. The following table provides the components of the changes in Fee Related Earnings for the three and six

months ended June 30, 2024:

	Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024 v. 2023

Fee Revenues. Total fee revenues decreased $76.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the

three months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased $102.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six

months ended June 30, 2023, due to the following:

	Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024 v. 2023
	(Dollars in millions)
Lower fund management fees	$(25.0)	$(47.3)
(Lower) higher portfolio advisory and transaction fees, net and other	(1.5)	0.2
Lower fee related performance revenues	(49.6)	(55.5)
Total decrease in fee revenues	$(76.1)	$(102.6)

The decrease in fund management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three and six

months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to step-downs in CP VII and the impact of investment realizations in funds on

which management fees are based on invested capital. The impact of smaller buyout funds in our corporate private equity

strategy is resulting in, and may continue to result in, lower fund management fees relative to 2023.

The decrease in fee related performance revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the

three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to CPI, which will fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on fund

performance. We do not expect material fee related performance revenues in Global Private Equity in 2024.

Cash-based compensation and benefits expense. Cash-based compensation and benefits expense decreased $69.7 million

for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and decreased $109.1 million

for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in cash

bonuses as a result of the updates to our compensation program effective as of December 31, 2023, which resulted in a larger

portion of compensation being derived from Realized performance revenues related compensation, as well as a decrease in

headcount.

General, administrative and other indirect expenses. General, administrative and other indirect expenses decreased $8.9

million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased $27.4

million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to lower

professional fees, lower foreign currency-related losses, and lower fundraising costs. Additionally, the six months ended June

30, 2024 included the benefit of lower VAT expense in Asia.

(1)Inflows represents limited partner capital raised by our carry funds or separately managed accounts for which management fees based

on commitments were activated during the period, and the fee-earning commitments invested in vehicles for which management fees

are based on invested capital. Inflows exclude fundraising amounts during the period for which fees have not yet been activated, which

are referenced as Pending Fee-earning AUM.

(2)Outflows represents the impact of realizations from vehicles with management fees based on remaining invested capital at cost or fair

value, changes in basis for funds where the investment period, weighted-average investment period or commitment fee period has

expired during the period, and reductions for funds that are no longer calling for fees. Realizations for funds earning management fees

based on commitments during the period do not affect Fee-earning AUM.

(3)Market Activity & Other represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds based on the

lower of cost or fair value.

(4)Foreign Exchange represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated

funds. 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.

Fee-earning AUM of $103.7 billion at June 30, 2024 was generally flat to $104.0 billion at March 31, 2024, as outflows

of $3.3 billion, primarily from a fee basis step-down in CAP V and realizations in funds which charge fees on invested capital,

offset $3.0 billion of inflows from the activation of fees in CAP VI, additional fee-paying capital raised in NGP XIII, and

investments in funds which charge fees on invested capital. Investment and distribution activity has no impact for funds still in

the original investment period where Fee-earning AUM is based on commitments.

Fee-earning AUM of $103.7 billion at June 30, 2024 decreased 3% from $106.7 billion at December 31, 2023, as

outflows of $5.9 billion outpaced inflows of $3.7 billion. Outflows for the period included a fee basis step-down in CAP V and

realizations in U.S. Buyout and the NGP Energy funds. Inflows included the activation of fees in CAP VI, additional fee-paying

capital raised in NGP XIII, and investments in funds which charge fees on invested capital.

Fee-earning AUM of $103.7 billion at June 30, 2024 decreased 3% from $107.1 billion at June 30, 2023, as outflows of

$9.4 billion driven by realizations in funds that charge fees on invested capital, notably in the NGP Energy funds and our U.S.

Buyout and U.S. Real Estate funds, as a well as a fee basis step-down in CAP V, outpaced $6.7 billion of inflows primarily

from the activation of fees in CAP VI, fee-paying capital raised in NGP XIII and CRSEF II, and investments in CPI. The

segment annualized management fee rate decreased to 1.16% at June 30, 2024 from 1.20% at June 30, 2023, reflecting the

impact of fee rate step-downs, particularly in our U.S. Buyout funds.

translation at the average quarterly rate, while the separately reported Fundraising metric is translated at the spot rate for each individual

closing.

(2)Outflows includes distributions net of recallable or recyclable amounts in our carry funds, related co-investment vehicles, and

separately managed accounts, gross redemptions in our open-ended funds, and the expiration of available capital.

(3)Market Activity & Other generally represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds, related

co-investment vehicles, and separately managed accounts, as well as the impact of fees, expenses and non-investment income, and

other changes in AUM.

(4)Foreign Exchange represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated

funds. 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.

Total AUM was $164.2 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of 3% from $159.2 billion at March 31, 2024, as inflows of

$5.1 billion, including new capital raised in Real Estate, Europe Buyout and Japan Buyout, and market appreciation of $2.4

billion, outpaced outflows of $2.2 billion, including realizations in U.S. Buyout and the NGP Energy funds. Market activity for

the period included appreciation in CP VII ($0.7 billion) and CP VIII ($0.3 billion), as well as depreciation in CP VI ($0.3

billion).

Total AUM was $164.2 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of 2% from $161.3 billion at December 31, 2023, as inflows

of $6.7 billion and market appreciation of $2.9 billion more than offset outflows of $5.4 billion. Inflows for the period included

new capital raised in Real Estate, Japan Buyout, and Europe Buyout. Market activity for the period included appreciation in CP

VII ($0.9 billion), CP VIII ($0.6 billion), and CAP V ($0.3 billion), as well as depreciation in CP VI ($0.8 billion). Outflows for

the period were driven by Asia Buyout, U.S. Buyout, and the NGP Energy funds.

Fund Performance Metrics

Fund performance information for our investment funds that generally have at least $1.0 billion in capital commitments,

cumulative equity invested or total value as of June 30, 2024, which we refer to as our “significant funds,” is included

throughout this discussion and analysis to facilitate an understanding of our results of operations for the periods presented. The

fund return information reflected in this discussion and analysis is not indicative of the performance of The Carlyle Group Inc.

and is also not necessarily indicative of the future performance of any particular fund. An investment in The Carlyle Group Inc.

is not an investment in any of our funds. There can be no assurance that any of our funds or our other existing and future funds

will achieve similar returns.

*Net accrued fee related performance revenues for CPI are excluded from Net Accrued Performance Revenues. These amounts will be

reflected as fee related performance revenues when realized, and included in Fund level fee revenues in our segment results. There were no

accrued fee related performance revenues for CPI as of June 30, 2024.

**The IRR is incalculable, which occurs in instances when a distribution occurs prior to a Limited Partner capital contribution due to the use

of fund-level credit facilities.

(1)Represents the original cost of investments since inception of the fund. 

(2)Represents all realized proceeds since inception of the fund.

(3)Represents remaining fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, and may include remaining

escrow values for realized investments.

(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.

(6)Gross Internal Rate of Return (“Gross IRR”) represents an annualized time-weighted return on Limited Partner invested

capital, based on contributions, distributions and unrealized fair value as of the reporting date, before the impact of

management fees, partnership expenses and carried interest. For fund vintages 2017 and after, Gross IRR includes the

impact of interest expense related to the funding of investments on fund lines of credit. Gross IRR is calculated based on

the timing of Limited Partner cash flows, which may differ to varying degrees from the timing of actual investment cash

flows for the fund. Subtotal Gross IRR aggregations for multiple funds are calculated based on actual cash flow dates for

each fund and represent a theoretical time-weighted return for a Limited Partner who invested sequentially in each fund.

(7)Net Internal Rate of Return (“Net IRR”) represents an annualized time-weighted return on Limited Partner invested

capital, based on contributions, distributions and unrealized fair value as of the reporting date, after the impact of all

management fees, partnership expenses and carried interest, including current accruals. Net IRR is calculated based on

the timing of Limited Partner cash flows, which may differ to varying degrees from the timing of actual investment cash

flows for the fund. Fund level IRRs are based on aggregate Limited Partner cash flows, and this blended return may differ

from that of individual Limited Partners. As a result, certain funds may generate accrued performance revenues with a

blended Net IRR that is below the preferred return hurdle for that fund. Subtotal Net IRR aggregations for multiple funds

are calculated based on actual cash flow dates for each fund and represent a theoretical time-weighted return for a

Limited Partner who invested sequentially in each fund.

(8)Represents the net accrued performance revenue balance/(giveback obligation) as of the current quarter end.

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

interest.

stand-alone investments arranged by us: MENA, CCI, CSSAF I, CPF I, CAP Growth I, CAP Growth II, CBPF II, CEP II,

CAGP IV, ABV 8, ABV 9 and ACCD 2.

(12)For funds marked “NM,” IRR may be positive or negative, but is not considered meaningful because of the limited time

since initial investment and early stage of capital deployment. For funds marked “Neg,” IRR is considered meaningful

but is negative as of reporting period end.

(13)For purposes of aggregation, funds that report in foreign currency have been converted to U.S. dollars at the reporting

period spot rate.

certain other stand-alone investments arranged by us: CIP.

(19)The fund stepdown date represents the contractual stepdown date under the respective fund agreements for funds on

which the fee basis stepdown has not yet occurred. Funds without a listed Fee Initiation Date and Stepdown Date have

not yet initiated fees.

(20)All amounts shown represent total capital commitments as of June 30, 2024. Certain of our recent vintage funds are

currently in fundraising and total capital commitments are subject to change.

(21)Funds are included when all investments have been realized. There may be remaining fair value and net accrued carry

where there are outstanding escrow balances or undistributed proceeds.

ended June 30, 2023 and increased $57.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended

June 30, 2023. The following table provides the components of the changes in Distributable Earnings for the three and six

months ended June 30, 2024:

	Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024 v. 2023
	(Dollars in millions)
Distributable Earnings, June 30, 2023	$55.4	$124.3
Increases (decreases):

Increase in net interest	(0.1)	(0.3)
Total increase	44.4	57.6
Distributable Earnings, June 30, 2024	$99.8	$181.9

Realized Net Performance Revenues. Realized net performance revenues decreased $0.3 million for the three months

ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Realized net performance revenues decreased $15.0

million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease

in realized net performance revenues generated by CCOF I and CSP II.

Realized Principal Investment Income. Realized principal investment income increased $11.0 million for the three months

ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased $15.8 million for the six months

ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by higher realized principal

investment income from our European and U.S. CLOs as well as CSP IV.

Fee Related Earnings

Fee Related Earnings increased $33.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months

ended June 30, 2023 and increased $57.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended

June 30, 2023. The following table provides the components of the changes in Fee Related Earnings for the three and six

Fee Revenues. Fee revenues increased $34.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three

months ended June 30, 2023 and increased $63.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months

ended June 30, 2023, due to the following:

	Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024 v. 2023
	(Dollars in millions)
Higher fund management fees	$13.9	$28.2
Higher portfolio advisory and transaction fees, net and other	12.1	20.7
Higher fee related performance revenues	8.4	14.2
Total increase in fee revenues	$34.4	$63.1

The increase in fund management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three and six

months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by closed reinsurance transactions at Fortitude, which increased the fee basis

under the strategic advisory services agreement, as well as increases from fundraising and capital deployment in CTAC and

CCOF III.

The increase in portfolio advisory and transaction fees, net and other for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as

compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by an increase in capital market fees. The

recognition of capital markets fees can be volatile as they are primarily generated by investment activity.

The increase in fee related performance revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the

three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to higher fee related performance revenues from CTAC.

Cash-based compensation and benefits expense. Cash-based compensation and benefits expense decreased $10.6 million

for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and decreased $14.2 million

for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in cash

bonuses as a result of the updates to our compensation program effective as of December 31, 2023.

General, administrative and other indirect expenses. General, administrative and other indirect expenses increased $9.7

million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased $17.6

million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to increases

in IT expenses, professional fees (including legal expenses), rent and office costs as the Global Credit segment continues to

grow.

Balance, End of Period	$155,437	$126,200	$155,437	$126,200

(1)Inflows represents limited partner capital raised by our carry funds or separately managed accounts for which management fees based

on commitments were activated during the period, the fee-earning commitments invested in vehicles for which management fees are

based on invested capital, the fee-earning collateral balance of new CLO issuances, closed reinsurance transactions at Fortitude, and

gross subscriptions in our vehicles for which management fees are based on net asset value. Inflows for the six months ended June 30,

2023 include $2.4 billion of Fee-earning AUM related to closed reinsurance transactions at Fortitude. Inflows exclude fundraising

amounts during the period for which fees have not yet been activated, which are referenced as Pending Fee-earning AUM.

(2)Outflows represents the impact of realizations from vehicles with management fees based on remaining invested capital at cost or fair

value, changes in basis for funds where the investment period, weighted-average investment period or commitment fee period has

expired during the period, reductions for funds that are no longer calling for fees, gross redemptions in our open-ended funds, and

outflows from our liquid credit products. Realizations for funds earning management fees based on commitments during the period do

not affect Fee-earning AUM.

(3)Market Activity & Other represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in funds or vehicles based on the

lower of cost or fair value or net asset value, activity of funds with fees based on gross asset value, and changes in the fair value of

Fortitude’s general account assets covered by the strategic advisory services agreement.

Fee-earning AUM was $155.4 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of 1% from $153.4 billion at March 31, 2024, as

inflows of $4.9 billion for the period, including the issuance of four new CLOs and deployment in funds which charge fees on

invested capital, exceeded $2.8 billion of outflows, including outflows from our liquid credit products and realizations in funds

which charge fees on invested capital.

Fee-earning AUM was $155.4 billion at June 30, 2024, generally flat to $155.2 billion at December 31, 2023, as inflows

of $7.6 billion for the period, including the issuance of five new CLOs and deployment in funds which charge fees on invested

capital, exceeded $5.8 billion of outflows and $1.3 billion of negative market activity. Outflows were primarily from our liquid

credit products and realizations in funds which charge fees on invested capital, while negative market activity of $1.3 billion

was driven by a decrease in value of the assets covered by the strategic advisory services agreement with Fortitude.

Fee-earning AUM was $155.4 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $29.2 billion, or approximately 23%, compared to

$126.2 billion at June 30, 2023, as inflows were only partially offset by outflows during the period. Inflows of $37.5 billion

were driven by $23.7 billion of closed reinsurance transactions at Fortitude, the issuance of eight new CLOs, and investment

activity in our Opportunistic Credit, Credit Strategic Solutions and Infrastructure Credit funds, as well as subscriptions in

CTAC. Outflows of $9.1 billion included realizations in funds with fees tied to invested capital, outflows from our liquid credit

products, and reductions for funds that are no longer calling for management fees. The segment annualized management fee

rate decreased to 0.36% at June 30, 2024 from 0.40% at June 30, 2023, primarily reflecting the impact of an increase in assets

covered by the strategic advisory services agreement with Fortitude, which have a lower fee rate than other Global Credit

products.

or vehicles denominated in foreign currencies, this reflects translation at the average quarterly rate, while the separately reported

Fundraising metric is translated at the spot rate for each individual closing.

(2)Outflows includes distributions net of recallable or recyclable amounts in our carry funds, related co-investment vehicles, and

separately managed accounts, gross redemptions in our open-ended funds, outflows from our liquid credit products, and the expiration

of available capital.

(3)Market Activity & Other generally represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds, related

co-investment vehicles, and separately managed accounts, as well as the impact of fees, expenses and non-investment income, change

in gross asset value for our business development companies, changes in the fair value of Fortitude’s general account assets covered by

the strategic advisory services agreement, and other changes in AUM.

(4)Foreign Exchange represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated

funds. 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.

Total AUM was $189.8 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of 2% compared to $186.4 billion at March 31, 2024, as $5.0

billion of inflows exceeded $2.7 billion of outflows. Inflows for the period were driven by the issuance of four new CLOs and

capital raised in our Infrastructure Credit and Opportunistic Credit funds. Outflows for the period were primarily in our liquid

credit products.

(1)Represents the original cost of investments since the inception of the fund. For CSP III and CSP IV, reflects amounts

net of investment level recallable proceeds which is adjusted to reflect recyclability of invested capital for the purpose

of calculating the fund MOIC.

(2)Represents all realized proceeds since inception of the fund.

(3)Represents remaining fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, and may include remaining

escrow values for realized investments.

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

interest, divided by cumulative invested capital.

(5)Gross Internal Rate of Return (“Gross IRR”) represents an annualized time-weighted return on Limited Partner invested

capital, based on contributions, distributions and unrealized fair value as of the reporting date, before the impact of

management fees, partnership expenses and carried interest. For fund vintages 2017 and after, Gross IRR includes the

impact of interest expense related to the funding of investments on fund lines of credit. Gross IRR is calculated based

on the timing of Limited Partner cash flows, which may differ to varying degrees from the timing of actual investment

cash flows for the fund. Subtotal Gross IRR aggregations for multiple funds are calculated based on actual cash flow

dates for each fund and represent a theoretical time-weighted return for a Limited Partner who invested sequentially in

each fund.

(6)Net Internal Rate of Return (“Net IRR”) represents an annualized time-weighted return on Limited Partner invested

capital, based on contributions, distributions and unrealized fair value as of the reporting date, after the impact of all

management fees, partnership expenses and carried interest, including current accruals. Net IRR is calculated based on

the timing of Limited Partner cash flows, which may differ to varying degrees from the timing of actual investment cash

flows for the fund. Fund level IRRs are based on aggregate Limited Partner cash flows, and this blended return may

differ from that of individual Limited Partners. As a result, certain funds may generate accrued performance revenues

with a blended Net IRR that is below the preferred return hurdle for that fund. Subtotal Net IRR aggregations for

Table of Contents

multiple funds are calculated based on actual cash flow dates for each fund and represent a theoretical time-weighted

return for a Limited Partner who invested sequentially in each fund.

(7)Represents the net accrued performance revenue balance/(giveback obligation) as of the current quarter end.

(8)For funds marked “NM,” IRR may be positive or negative, but is not considered meaningful because of the limited time

since initial investment and early stage of capital deployment. For funds marked “Neg,” IRR is considered meaningful

but is negative as of reporting period end.

(9)Aggregate includes the following funds, as well as all active co-investments, separately managed accounts (SMAs), and

stand-alone investments arranged by us: SASOF IV, SASOF V, CICF, CICF II, CAF, and CALF.

(10)Aggregate includes the following funds, as well as related co-investments, separately managed accounts (SMAs), and

certain other stand-alone investments arranged by us: CSP I, CSP II, CEMOF I, CSC, CMP I, CMP II, SASOF II, and

CASCOF.

(11)The fund stepdown date represents the contractual stepdown date under the respective fund agreements for funds on

which the fee basis stepdown has not yet occurred. Funds without a listed Fee Initiation Date and Stepdown Date have

not yet initiated fees.

(12)All amounts shown represent total capital commitments as of June 30, 2024. Certain of our recent vintage funds are

currently in fundraising and total capital commitments are subject to change. Committed Capital for CEMOF II reflects

original committed capital of $2.8 billion, less $1.1 billion in commitments that were extinguished following a Key

Person Event. Committed capital for CCOF II excludes $150 million in capital committed by a CCOF II investor to a

side vehicle.

(13)Funds are included when all investments have been realized. There may be remaining fair value and net accrued carry

where there are outstanding escrow balances or undistributed proceeds.

(1)Inflows represents limited partner capital raised by our carry funds or separately managed accounts for which management fees based

on commitments were activated during the period and the fee-earning commitments invested in vehicles for which management fees are

based on invested capital. Inflows exclude fundraising amounts during the period for which fees have not yet been activated, which are

referenced as Pending Fee-earning AUM.

(2)Outflows represents the impact of realizations from vehicles with management fees based on remaining invested capital at cost or fair

value, changes in basis for funds where the investment period, weighted-average investment period or commitment fee period has

expired during the period, and reductions for funds that are no longer calling for fees. Distributions for funds earning management fees

based on commitments during the period do not affect Fee-earning AUM.

(3)Market Activity & Other represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds based on the

lower of cost or fair value and net asset value.

(4)Foreign Exchange represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated

funds. 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.

Fee-earning AUM was $48.2 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.4 billion, or approximately 3%, compared to

$46.8 billion at March 31, 2024, as inflows were partially offset by outflows. Inflows of $2.4 billion were driven by fee-paying

capital raised and investment activity primarily in our secondaries & portfolio finance and co-investment strategies. Outflows of

$1.1 billion were driven by realizations in our primary funds that charge fees on invested capital. Distributions from funds still

in the commitment or weighted-average investment period do not impact Fee-earning AUM as these funds are based on

commitments and not invested capital.

Fee-earning AUM was $48.2 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $2.7 billion, or approximately 6%, compared to

$45.5 billion at December 31, 2023, as inflows were partially offset by outflows. Inflows of $4.6 billion were primarily driven

by fee-paying capital raised in our secondaries & portfolio finance and co-investment strategies and investment activity across

all strategies. Outflows of $1.8 billion were driven by realizations in our primary and secondaries & portfolio finance funds that

charge fees on invested capital.

Fee-earning AUM was $48.2 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $10.1 billion, or approximately 26%, compared to

$38.1 billion at June 30, 2023, as inflows and market appreciation more than outpaced outflows during the period. Inflows of

$15.8 billion were primarily driven by the activation of fees and additional commitments raised in our secondaries & portfolio

finance and co-investment strategies and investment activity across all strategies. Market appreciation of $1.3 billion was driven

by certain funds in our secondaries & portfolio finance strategy in which fees are based on net asset value. Outflows of $6.1

billion were driven by realizations in our secondaries & portfolio finance and primary funds and step-downs in fee bases.

funds. 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.

Total AUM was $80.6 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.7 billion, or approximately 1%, compared to $79.9

billion at March 31, 2024. The increase was driven by $2.3 billion of inflows related to fundraising primarily in our secondaries

& portfolio finance and co-investment strategies. Partially offsetting the increase were outflows of $1.1 billion from realizations

predominantly in our primary and secondaries & portfolio finance funds.

Total AUM was $80.6 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $3.7 billion, or approximately 5%, compared to $76.9

billion at December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by $4.6 billion of inflows related to fundraising primarily in our

secondaries & portfolio finance and co-investment strategies and $3.3 billion of market appreciation. These increases were

partially offset by outflows of $3.2 billion from realizations predominantly in our primary and secondaries & portfolio finance

funds.

(1)Includes private equity and mezzanine primary fund investments, secondary fund investments and co-investments

originated by AlpInvest. Excluded from the performance information shown are: (a) investments that were not originated

by AlpInvest (i.e., AlpInvest did not make the original investment decision or recommendation); (b) Direct Investments,

which was spun off from AlpInvest in 2005; (c) Carlyle AlpInvest Private Markets Fund; and (d) LP co-investment

vehicles managed by AlpInvest. As of June 30, 2024, these excluded portfolios amounted to approximately $6.5 billion of

AUM in the aggregate.

(2)Represents the original cost of investments since inception of the fund.

(3)To exclude the impact of FX, all foreign currency cash flows have been converted to the currency representing a majority

of the capital committed to the relevant fund at the reporting period spot rate.

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

interest.

(5)Multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) represents total fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest,

divided by cumulative invested capital.

(6)Gross Internal Rate of Return (“Gross IRR”) represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner

invested capital based on investment contributions, distributions and unrealized value of the underlying investments, before

management fees, expenses and carried interest at the AlpInvest level.

Table of Contents

115

(7)Net Internal Rate of Return (“Net IRR”) represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested

capital based on investment contributions, distributions and unrealized value of the underlying investments, after

management fees, expenses and carried interest. Fund level IRRs are based on aggregate Limited Partner cash flows, and

this blended return may differ from that of individual Limited Partners. As a result, certain funds may generate accrued

performance revenues with a blended Net IRR that is below the preferred return hurdle for that fund. 

(8)“ASF” stands for AlpInvest Secondaries Fund, “ACF” stands forAlpInvest Co-Investment Fund, and “SMAs” are

Separately Managed Accounts. “ASF - SMAs” and “ACF - SMAs” reflect the aggregated portfolios of investments held by

SMAs within the relevant strategy, which invest alongside the relevant ASF or ACF (as applicable). Strategic SMAs reflect

the aggregated portfolios of co-investments made by SMAs sourced from the SMA investor’s own private equity fund

investment portfolio. Other SMAs reflect the aggregated portfolios of investments within the relevant strategy that began

making investments in the corresponding time periods. Co-Investments SMAs 2014-2016 does not include two SMAs that

started in 2016 but invested a substantial majority alongside ACF VII. These two SMAs have instead been grouped with

ACF VII - SMAs. An SMA may pursue multiple investment strategies and make commitments over multiple years.

(9)Includes AlpInvest Atom Fund, all mezzanine investment portfolios, all ‘clean technology’ private equity investment

portfolios, all strategic portfolio finance portfolios, ASF VIII - SMAs, ACF IX - SMAs, and any state-focused investment

mandate portfolios.

(10)For funds marked “NM,” IRR may be positive or negative, but is not considered meaningful because of the limited time

since initial investment and early stage of capital deployment. For funds marked “Neg,” IRR is considered meaningful but

is negative as of reporting period end. 

(11)For purposes of aggregation, funds that report in foreign currency have been converted to U.S. dollars at the reporting

period spot rate. 

(12)Represents the net accrued performance revenue balance/(giveback obligation) as of the current quarter end. Total Net

Accrued Carry excludes $1.6 million of net accrued carry as of June 30, 2024, which was retained as part of the sale of

MRE on April 1, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically required limited capital resources to support the working capital and operating needs of our

business. Our management fees have largely covered our operating costs and all realized performance allocations, after

covering the related compensation, are available for distribution to stockholders. Approximately 95% – 97% of all capital

commitments to our funds are provided by our fund investors, with the remaining amount typically funded by Carlyle, our

senior Carlyle professionals, advisors and other professionals. We may elect to invest additional amounts in funds focused on

new investment areas.

Our Sources of Liquidity

We have multiple sources of liquidity to meet our capital needs, including cash on hand, annual cash flows, accumulated

earnings and funds from our senior revolving credit facility, which had $1.0 billion of available capacity as of June 30, 2024.

We believe these sources will be sufficient to fund our capital needs for at least the next twelve months. We believe we will

meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of existing cash and cash equivalent

balances, cash flow from operations, accumulated earnings, and amounts available for borrowing from our senior revolving

credit facility or other financings.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $0.9 billion at June 30, 2024. However, a

portion of this cash is allocated for specific business purposes, including, but not limited to: (i) performance allocations and

incentive fee related cash that has been received but not yet distributed as performance allocations and incentive fee related

compensation and amounts owed to non-controlling interests, (ii) proceeds received from realized investments that are allocable

to non-controlling interests, and (iii) regulatory capital.

Corporate Treasury Investments. These investments represent investments in U.S. Treasury and government agency

obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, other investment grade securities and other investments with original

maturities of greater than three months when purchased.

Table of Contents

116

After deducting cash amounts allocated to the specific requirements mentioned above, the remaining cash, cash

equivalents, and corporate treasury investments, was approximately $0.8 billion as of June 30, 2024. This remaining amount

will be used towards our primary liquidity needs, as outlined in the next section. This amount does not take into consideration

ordinary course of business payables and reserves for specific business purposes.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility. The capacity under the revolving credit facility is $1.0 billion and the facility is

scheduled to mature on April 29, 2027. The Company’s borrowing capacity is subject to the ability of the financial institutions

in the banking syndicate to fulfill their respective obligations under the revolving credit facility. Principal amounts outstanding

under the amended and restated revolving credit facility accrue interest, at the option of the borrowers, either (a) at an alternate

base rate plus an applicable margin not to exceed 0.50% per annum, or (b) at SOFR (or similar benchmark rate for non-U.S.

dollar borrowings) plus a 0.10% adjustment and an applicable margin not to exceed 1.50% per annum (6.44% at June 30,

2024). As of June 30, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under the senior revolving credit facility.

The senior revolving credit facility is unsecured. We are required to maintain management fee earning assets (as defined

in the amended and restated senior revolving credit facility) of at least $126.6 billion and a total leverage ratio of less than 4.0 to

1.0, in each case, tested on a quarterly basis. Non-compliance with any of the financial or non-financial covenants without cure

or waiver would constitute an event of default under the senior revolving credit facility. An event of default resulting from a

breach of certain financial or non-financial covenants may result, at the option of the lenders, in an acceleration of the principal

and interest outstanding, and a termination of the senior revolving credit facility. The senior credit facility also contains other

customary events of default, including defaults based on events of bankruptcy and insolvency, nonpayment of principal, interest

or fees when due, breach of specified covenants, change in control and material inaccuracy of representations and warranties.

Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility. Certain subsidiaries of the Company are parties to a revolving line of credit,

primarily intended to support certain lending activities within the Global Credit segment. In August 2023, the Global Credit

Revolving Credit Facility was amended to increase the capacity of the existing revolving line of credit from $250 million to

$300 million (the “2027 Tranche Revolving Loans”) and extend the maturity date to September 2027. This amendment also

provides for a new tranche of revolving loans with a capacity of $200 million maturing in August 2024, which we expect to

extend (the “2024 Tranche Revolving Loans,” together with the 2027 Tranche Revolving Loans, the “Global Credit Revolving

Credit Facility”). The Company’s borrowing capacity is subject to the ability of the financial institutions in the banking

syndicate to fulfill their respective obligations under the Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility. Principal amounts outstanding

accrue interest at applicable SOFR or Eurocurrency rates plus an applicable margin of 2.00% or an alternate base rate plus an

applicable margin of 1.00%. In the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made borrowings under the Global Credit

Revolving Credit Facility of $5.0 million and €5.0 million, which were repaid as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, there

was no borrowing outstanding under the Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility.

CLO Borrowings. For certain of our CLOs, the Company finances a portion of its investment in the CLOs through the

proceeds received from term loans and other financing arrangements with financial institutions or other financing arrangements. 

The Company’s CLO borrowings outstanding were $384.3 million and $431.7 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31,

2023, respectively. The CLO borrowings are secured by the Company’s investments in the respective CLO, have a general

unsecured interest in the Carlyle entity that manages the CLO and generally do not have recourse to any other Carlyle entity. As

of June 30, 2024, $363.0 million of these borrowings are secured by investments attributable to The Carlyle Group Inc. See

Note 6, Borrowings, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for

more information on our CLO borrowings.

Senior Notes. Certain indirect finance subsidiaries of the Company have issued senior notes, on which interest is payable

semi-annually, as discussed below. The senior notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the respective subsidiary

and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company and each of the Carlyle Holdings

partnerships. The indentures governing each of the senior notes contain customary covenants that, among other things, limit the

issuers’ 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 notes also

contain customary events of default. All or a portion of the notes may be redeemed at our option, in whole or in part, at any

time and from time to time, prior to their stated maturity, at the make-whole redemption price set forth in the notes. If a change

of control repurchase event occurs, the notes are subject to repurchase at the repurchase price as set forth in the notes.

3.500% Senior Notes. In September 2019, Carlyle Finance Subsidiary L.L.C. issued $425.0 million of 3.500% senior

notes due September 19, 2029 at 99.841% of par.

Table of Contents

117

5.625% Senior Notes. In March 2013, Carlyle Holdings II Finance L.L.C. issued $400.0 million of 5.625% senior notes

due March 30, 2043 at 99.583% of par. In March 2014, an additional $200.0 million of these notes were issued at 104.315% of

par and are treated as a single class with the already outstanding $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of these notes.

5.650% Senior Notes. In September 2018, Carlyle Finance L.L.C. issued $350.0 million of 5.650% senior notes due

September 15, 2048 at 99.914% of par.

Subordinated Notes. In May and June 2021, Carlyle Finance L.L.C. issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of

4.625% subordinated notes due May 15, 2061. The subordinated notes are unsecured and subordinated obligations of the issuer

and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a subordinated basis, by the Company, each of the

Carlyle Holdings partnerships, and CG Subsidiary Holdings L.L.C., an indirect subsidiary of the Company. The indentures

governing the subordinated notes contain customary covenants that, among other things, limit the issuers’ and the guarantors’

ability, subject to certain exceptions, to incur indebtedness ranking on a parity with the subordinated notes or indebtedness

ranking junior to the subordinated notes secured by liens on voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their

subsidiaries or merge, consolidate or sell, transfer or lease all or substantially all of their assets. The subordinated notes also

contain customary events of default. All or a portion of the notes may be redeemed at our option, in whole or in part, at any

time and from time to time on or after June 15, 2026, prior to their stated maturity, at a redemption price equal to their principal

amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. If interest due on the Subordinated Notes

is deemed to no longer be deductible in the U.S., a “Tax Redemption Event,” the subordinated notes may be redeemed, in

whole, but not in part, within 120 days of the occurrence of such event at a redemption price equal to their principal amount

plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, the subordinated notes may be redeemed,

in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to May 15, 2026, within 90 days of the rating agencies determining that the

Subordinated Notes should no longer receive partial equity treatment pursuant to the rating agency’s criteria, a “rating agency

event,” at a redemption price equal to 102% of their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding,

the date of redemption.

Obligations of CLOs. Loans payable of the Consolidated Funds primarily comprise amounts due to holders of debt

securities issued by the CLOs. We are not liable for any loans payable of the CLOs. Loans payable of the CLOs are

collateralized by the assets held by the CLOs and the assets of one CLO may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another.

This collateral consists of cash and cash equivalents, corporate loans, corporate bonds and other securities.

Realized Performance Allocation Revenues. Another source of liquidity we may use to meet our capital needs is the

realized performance allocation revenues generated by our investment funds. Performance allocations are generally realized

when an underlying investment is profitably disposed of and the fund’s cumulative returns are in excess of the preferred return.

For certain funds, performance allocations are realized once all invested capital and expenses have been returned to the fund’s

investors and the fund’s cumulative returns are in excess of the preferred return. Incentive fees earned on our CLO vehicles

generally are paid upon the dissolution of such vehicles.

Realized Principal Investment Income. Another source of liquidity we may use to meet our capital needs is the realized

principal investment income generated by our equity method investments and other principal investments. Principal investment

income is realized when we redeem all or a portion of our investment or when we receive or are due cash income, such as

Our Liquidity Needs

We generally use our working capital and cash flows to invest in growth initiatives, service our debt, fund the working

capital needs of our business and investment funds and return capital to our common stockholders in the form of dividends or

stock repurchases.

In the future, we expect that our primary liquidity needs will be to: 

•provide capital to facilitate the growth of our existing business lines;

•provide capital to facilitate our expansion into new, complementary business lines, including acquisitions;

•pay operating expenses, including compensation and compliance costs and other obligations as they arise;

•fund costs of litigation and contingencies, including related legal costs;

•fund the capital investments of Carlyle in our funds;

Table of Contents

120

•fund capital expenditures;

•repay borrowings and related interest costs and expenses;

•pay earn-outs and contingent cash consideration associated with our acquisitions and strategic investments;

•pay income taxes, including corporate income taxes;

•pay dividends to our common stockholders in accordance with our dividend policy;

•repurchase our common stock and pay any associated taxes; and

•settle tax withholding obligations in connection with net share settlements of equity-based awards.

Common Stockholder Dividends. Under our dividend policy for our common stock, our intention is to pay dividends to

holders of our common stock in an amount of $0.35 per common share on a quarterly basis ($1.40 annually), which

commenced with the first quarter 2023 dividend paid in May 2023. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, any dividends we pay

generally will be treated as qualified dividend income (generally taxable to U.S. individual stockholders at capital gain rates)

paid by a domestic corporation to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S.

federal income tax purposes, with any excess dividends treated as return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s basis. The

declaration and payment of dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors

and in compliance with applicable law, and our dividend policy may be changed at any time.

With respect to dividend year 2024, the Board of Directors has declared a dividend to common stockholders totaling

$251.4 million, or $0.70 per share, consisting of the following:

Common Stock Dividends - Dividend Year 2024
Quarter	Dividend per Common Share	Dividend to Common Stockholders	Record Date	Payment Date
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Q1 2024	$0.35	$125.6	May 14, 2024	May 21, 2024
Q2 2024	0.35	125.8	August 16, 2024	August 26, 2024
Total	$0.70	$251.4

With respect to dividend year 2023, the Board of Directors declared cumulative dividends to common stockholders

totaling $506.0 million, consisting of the following:

Common Stock Dividends - Dividend Year 2023
Quarter	Dividend per Common Share	Dividend to Common Stockholders	Record Date	Payment Date
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Q1 2023	$0.35	$126.7	May 16, 2023	May 23, 2023

Q4 2023	0.35	126.7	February 23, 2024	March 1, 2024
Total	$1.40	$506.0

Dividends to common stockholders paid during the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $252.3 million, including the

amount paid in March 2024 of $0.35 per common share in respect of the fourth quarter of 2023. Dividends to common

stockholders paid during the six months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $245.1 million, including the amount paid in March 2023

of $0.325 per common share in respect of the fourth quarter of 2022.

Fund Commitments. Generally, Carlyle commits to fund approximately 0.75% of the capital commitments to our future

carry funds, although we may elect to invest additional amounts in funds focused on new investment areas. We may, from time

to time, exercise our right to purchase additional interests in our investment funds that become available in the ordinary course

of their operations. We expect our senior Carlyle professionals and employees to continue to make significant capital

contributions to our funds based on their existing commitments, and to make capital commitments to future funds consistent

Table of Contents

121

with the level of their historical commitments. We also intend to make investments in our open-end funds and our CLO

vehicles. Our investments in our European CLO vehicles will comply with the risk retention rules as discussed in “Risk

Retention Rules” later in this section.

Since our inception through June 30, 2024, we and our senior Carlyle professionals, operating executives and other

professionals have invested or committed to invest in or alongside our funds. Approximately 3% to 5% of all capital

commitments to our funds are funded collectively by us and our senior Carlyle professionals, operating executives and other

professionals.

A substantial majority of the remaining commitments are expected to be funded by senior Carlyle professionals,

operating executives, and other professionals through our internal co-investment program. Of the $4.3 billion of unfunded

commitments, approximately $3.6 billion is subscribed individually by senior Carlyle professionals, operating executives, and

other professionals, with the balance funded directly by the Company. Approximately 76% of the $4.3 billion of unfunded

commitments relate to investment funds in our Global Private Equity segment.

Under the Carlyle Global Capital Markets platform, certain of our subsidiaries may act as an underwriter, syndicator or

placement agent for security offerings and loan originations. We earn fees in connection with these activities and bear the risk

of the sale of such securities and placement of such loans, which may be longer dated. As of June 30, 2024, there were no

material outstanding commitments related to the origination and syndication of loans and securities under the Carlyle Global

Capital Markets platform. In July 2024, a subsidiary of the Company committed to bridge up to $340 million of debt and equity

financing in connection with the acquisition of a private student loan portfolio by investment vehicles in the our Global Credit

segment, which is expected to close in the second half of 2024. We expect to transfer the commitments to third party investors

through Carlyle-advised investment vehicles.

Repurchase Program. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid an aggregate of $280.6 million to repurchase

and retire approximately 6.4 million shares of common stock. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid

an aggregate of $47.7 million and retired 1.1 million shares of common stock to settle tax withholding obligations in connection

with net share settlements of equity-based awards, for a total of $328.3 million shares repurchased or withheld this year. As of

June 30, 2024, $1.1 billion of repurchase capacity remained under the share repurchase program, which reflects the cost of

common shares repurchased as well as shares settled for tax withholding payments made by the Company related to the net

share settlement of equity-based awards. For further information on our repurchase program, see Note 13, Equity, to the

condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash Flows

The significant captions and amounts from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, which include the

effects of our Consolidated Funds and CLOs in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are summarized below.

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023
	(Dollars in millions)
Statements of Cash Flows Data
Net cash used in operating activities	$(1,198.6)	$(849.0)
Net cash used in investing activities	(36.9)	(55.3)
Net cash provided by financing activities	717.2	408.0
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes	(6.7)	10.5
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$(525.0)	$(485.8)

Net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities includes the investment activity of our

Consolidated Funds. Excluding this activity, net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our earnings in the

respective periods after adjusting for significant non-cash activity, including non-cash performance allocations and incentive

fees, the related non-cash performance allocations and incentive fee related compensation, non-cash equity-based

compensation, and depreciation, amortization and impairments, all of which are included in earnings. Operating cash inflows

primarily include the receipt of management fees, realized performance allocations and incentive fees, while operating cash

outflows primarily include payments for operating expenses, including compensation and general, administrative and other

expenses.

Table of Contents

122

Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, excluding the

activities of our Consolidated Funds, were $124.2 million and $74.2 million, respectively. During the six months ended June

30, 2024 and 2023, cash inflows impacting net cash used in operating activities primarily included the receipt of management

fees and realized performance allocations and incentive fees, totaling approximately $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively.

These inflows were offset by payments for compensation and general, administrative and other expenses of approximately $1.5

billion and $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which includes payment of 2023 and

2022 year-end bonuses paid in January 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, operating outflows during the six months

ended June 30, 2023 included a $68.6 million payment relating to the Carlyle Aviation Partners earn-out and a $20.3 million

payment to the former Carlyle Holdings unitholders related to amounts owed under the tax receivable agreement.

Cash used to purchase investments as well as the proceeds from the sale of such investments are also reflected in our

operating activities as investments are a normal part of our operating activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2024,

investment proceeds were $185.1 million as compared to investment purchases of $180.1 million, which included a $115.1

million deferred consideration payment related to our investment in Fortitude. During the six months ended June 30, 2023,

investment proceeds were $137.2 million as compared to investment purchases of $126.5 million, which included our $50

million follow-on investment in Carlyle FRL.

The net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 also reflects the

investment activity of our Consolidated Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, purchases of investments by the

Consolidated Funds were $3.9 billion, while proceeds from the sales and settlements of investments by the Consolidated Funds

were $2.7 billion. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, purchases of investments by the Consolidated Funds were $1.7

billion, while proceeds from the sales and settlements of investments by the Consolidated Funds were $0.9 billion.

Net cash used in investing activities. Our investing activities generally reflect cash used for fixed assets, software for

internal use, and corporate treasury investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in investing activities

principally reflects purchases of fixed assets of $31.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in investing

activities principally reflects purchases of corporate treasury investments of $145.2 million and purchases of fixed assets of

$32.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from corporate treasury investments of $122.4 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30,

2024 and 2023, excluding the activities of our Consolidated Funds, was $607.3 million and $513.0 million, respectively. During

the six months ended June 30, 2024, we borrowed and subsequently repaid an aggregate of $10.4 million under the Global

Credit Revolving Credit Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we made no borrowings or repayments under the

revolving credit facilities. We also paid $68.8 million in each of January 2024 and January 2023, representing the final and

fourth annual installments, respectively, of the deferred consideration payable to former Carlyle Holdings unitholders in

connection with the Conversion.

Dividends paid to our common stockholders were $252.3 million and $245.1 million for the six months ended June 30,

2024 and 2023, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we paid $328.3 million and $160.8 million,

respectively, to repurchase and retire 7.5 million and 5.2 million shares, respectively, which included shares retired in

connection with the net share settlement of equity-based awards during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The net borrowings (payments) on loans payable by our Consolidated Funds during the six months ended June 30, 2024

and 2023 were $1,328.5 million and $876.1 million, respectively. Contributions from non-controlling interest holders were

$120.4 million and $55.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which relate primarily to

contributions from the non-controlling interest holders in Consolidated Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and

2023, distributions to non-controlling interest holders were $45.6 million and $34.1 million, respectively, which relate primarily

to distributions to the non-controlling interest holders in Consolidated Funds.

Our Balance Sheet

Total assets were $22.3 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.1 billion compared to December 31, 2023, primarily

attributable to an increase in Investments in Consolidated Funds of $1.2 billion and an increase in Cash and cash equivalents

held at Consolidated Funds of $0.7 billion, partially offset by a decrease in Cash and cash equivalents of $0.5 billion and a

decrease in Investments, including performance allocations of $0.4 billion. The decrease in Investments, including performance

allocations was primarily due to a decrease in accrued performance allocations, reflecting year-to-date realizations as well as

performance allocation reversals in certain funds, which more than offset the impact of 3% appreciation in our carry funds year-

to-date, partially offset by an increase in investments driven primarily by contributions to Carlyle FRL. Refer to “—Cash

Flows” for details on the decrease in Cash and cash equivalents.

Table of Contents

123

Total liabilities were $16.6 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.2 billion from December 31, 2023. The increase in

liabilities was primarily attributable to an increase in Loans payable of Consolidated Funds of $1.3 billion and an increase of

$0.5 billion in Other liabilities of Consolidated Funds, partially offset by a decrease in accrued compensation and benefits of

$0.6 billion. The decrease in Accrued compensation and benefits was primarily due to payments of year-end bonuses as well as

realizations and reversals of performance allocations.

The assets and liabilities of the Consolidated Funds are generally held within separate legal entities and, as a result, the

assets of the Consolidated Funds are not available to meet our liquidity requirements and similarly the liabilities of the

Consolidated Funds are non-recourse to us. In addition, as previously discussed, the CLO term loans generally are secured by

the Company’s investment in the CLO, have a general unsecured interest in the Carlyle entity that manages the CLO, and do

not have recourse to any other Carlyle entity.

Our balance sheet without the effect of the Consolidated Funds can be seen in Note 17, Supplemental Financial

Information, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. At June 30,

2024, our total assets without the effect of the Consolidated Funds were $13.1 billion, including cash and cash equivalents of

$0.9 billion and net accrued performance revenues of $2.2 billion.

Unconsolidated Entities

Certain of our funds have entered into lines of credit secured by their investors’ unpaid capital commitments or by a

pledge of the equity of the underlying investment. These lines of credit are used primarily to reduce the overall number of

capital calls to investors or for working capital needs. In certain instances, however, they may be used for other investment

related activities, including serving as bridge financing for investments. The degree of leverage employed varies among our

funds.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we enter into various off-balance sheet arrangements including sponsoring and owning

limited or general partner interests in consolidated and non-consolidated funds, entering into derivative transactions, and

entering into guarantee arrangements. We also have ongoing capital commitment arrangements with certain of our consolidated

and non-consolidated funds. We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements that would require us to fund losses or

guarantee target returns to investors in any of our other investment funds.

For further information regarding our off-balance sheet arrangements, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting

Policies, and Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth information relating to our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2024 on a consolidated

basis and on a basis excluding the obligations of the Consolidated Funds:

	Jul. 1, 2024 to Dec. 31, 2024	2025-2026	2027-2028	Thereafter	Total

(1)The table above assumes that no prepayments are made on the senior and subordinated notes and that the outstanding balances, if any, on the senior

credit facility and Global Credit Revolving Credit Facility are repaid on the maturity dates of credit facilities. The CLO term loans are included in the

table above based on the earlier of the stated maturity date or the date the CLO is expected to be dissolved. See Note 6, Borrowings, to the condensed

consolidated financial statements for the various maturity dates of our borrowings.

(2)The interest rates on the debt obligations as of June 30, 2024 consist of: 3.500% on $425.0 million of senior notes, 5.650% on $350.0 million of senior

notes, 5.625% on $600.0 million of senior notes, 4.625% on $500.0 million of subordinated notes, and a range of approximately 5.20% to 11.83% for

our CLO term loans. Interest payments assume that no prepayments are made and loans are held until maturity with the exception of the CLO term

loans, which are based on the earlier of the stated maturity date or the date the CLO is expected to be dissolved.

(3)These obligations represent our estimate of amounts to be paid on the contingent cash obligations associated with our acquisitions of Carlyle Aviation

Partners and Abingworth. The payment obligations are unsecured obligations of the Company or a subsidiary thereof, subordinated in right of payment

to indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and do not bear interest.

(4)We lease office space in various countries around the world, including our largest offices in Washington, D.C., New York City, London, Amsterdam

and Hong Kong, which have non-cancelable lease agreements expiring in various years through 2036. The amounts in this table represent the minimum

lease payments required over the term of the lease.

(5)These obligations generally represent commitments by us to fund a portion of the purchase price paid for each investment made by our funds. These

amounts are generally due on demand and are therefore presented in the less than one year category. A substantial majority of these investments is

expected to be funded by senior Carlyle professionals and other professionals through our internal co-investment program. Of the $4.3 billion of

unfunded commitments to the funds, approximately $3.6 billion is subscribed individually by senior Carlyle professionals, advisors and other

professionals, with the balance funded directly by the Company. In July 2024, a subsidiary of the Company committed to bridge up to $340 million of

debt and equity financing in connection with the acquisition of a private student loan portfolio by investment vehicles in the our Global Credit segment,

which is is expected to close in the second half of 2024 and is not reflected in the amounts above. We expect to transfer the commitments to third party

investors through Carlyle-advised investment vehicles.

(6)In connection with our initial public offering, we entered into a tax receivable agreement with the limited partners of the Carlyle Holdings partnerships

whereby we agreed to pay such limited partners 85% of the amount of cash tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax realized as a

result of increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of Carlyle Holdings partnership units for common units of The Carlyle Group L.P. From and

after the consummation of the Conversion, former holders of Carlyle Holdings partnership units do not have any rights to payments under the tax

receivable agreement except for payment obligations pre-existing at the time of the Conversion with respect to exchanges that occurred prior to the

Conversion. These obligations are more than offset by the future cash tax savings that we are expected to realize.

(7)These obligations represent amounts due to holders of debt securities issued by the consolidated CLO vehicles. These obligations include interest to be

paid on debt securities issued by the consolidated CLO vehicles. Interest payments assume that no prepayments are made and loans are held until

maturity. For debt securities with rights only to the residual value of the CLO and no stated interest, no interest payments were included in this

calculation. Interest payments on variable-rate debt securities are based on interest rates in effect as of June 30, 2024, at spreads to market rates

pursuant to the debt agreements, and range from 1.15% to 14.19%.

(8)These obligations represent commitments of the CLOs to fund certain investments. These amounts are generally due on demand and are therefore

presented in the less than one year category.

Excluded from the table above are liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $42.1 million at June 30, 2024 as we are unable

to estimate when such amounts may be paid.

125

Contingent Cash Payments For Business Acquisitions and Strategic Investments

We have certain contingent cash obligations associated with our acquisition of Abingworth, which are accounted for as

compensation expense, and are accrued over the service period. If earned, payments are made in the quarter following the

performance year to which the payments relate. The contingent cash obligations relate to future incentive payments of up to

$130.0 million that are payable upon the achievement of certain performance targets during 2025 through 2028, which is the

maximum amount that could be paid as of June 30, 2024. There are no material amounts recognized on the balance sheet related

to these contingent cash obligations as of June 30, 2024.

In connection with our acquisition of Carlyle Aviation Partners, we had contingent cash payments related to an earn-out

of up to $150.0 million that were payable upon the achievement of certain revenue and earnings performance targets during

2020 through 2025. Through December 31, 2022, we paid $53.6 million related to this earn-out. During the first quarter of

2023, we entered into a termination and settlement agreement with respect to the earn-out, pursuant to which we paid

$68.6 million, and agreed to pay an aggregate $2.4 million in installments in 2024 and 2025. Pursuant to the termination and

settlement agreement, we paid the first installment of $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2024.

Risk Retention Rules

We will continue to comply with the risk retention rules governing CLOs issued in Europe for which we are a sponsor,

which require a combination of capital from our balance sheet, commitments from senior Carlyle professionals and/or third

party financing.

Guarantees

See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information related to all of our material guarantees.

Indemnifications

In many of our service contracts, we agree to indemnify the third-party service provider 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 not been included in the table above or recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of

June 30, 2024. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in

this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information related to indemnifications.

Contingent Obligations (Giveback)

Carried interest is ultimately realized when: (1) an underlying investment is profitably disposed of, (2) certain costs

borne by the limited partner investors have been reimbursed, (3) the fund’s cumulative returns are in excess of the preferred

return and (4) we have decided to collect carry rather than return additional capital to limited partner investors. Realized carried

interest may be required to be returned by us in future periods if the fund’s investment values decline below certain levels.

When the fair value of a fund’s investments remains constant or falls below certain return hurdles, previously recognized

performance allocations are reversed. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial

statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information related to our contingent obligations

(giveback).

Other Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to litigation, investigations, inquiries, employment-related matters,

disputes and other potential claims. We discuss certain of these matters in Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, to the

condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Carlyle Common Stock

A rollforward of our common stock outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024
Balance, beginning of period	361,326,172
Shares issued	1,407,927
Shares repurchased/retired	(6,358,903)
Balance, end of period	356,375,196

Shares of The Carlyle Group Inc. common stock issued during the period from December 31, 2023 through June 30, 2024

relate to the vesting of the Company’s restricted stock units and shares issued and delivered in connection with our equity

method investment in NGP. Shares of The Carlyle Group Inc. common stock issued and repurchased/retired during the period

from December 31, 2023 through June 30, 2024 do not include shares retired as part of the net share settlement of equity-based

awards.

The total shares as of June 30, 2024 as shown above exclude approximately 3 million net common shares in connection

with the vesting of restricted stock units subsequent to June 30, 2024 that will participate in the common shareholder dividend

that will be paid on August 26, 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to

make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related

disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information

currently available to us and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations.

Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

There have been no material changes in the critical accounting estimates since those discussed in our Annual Report on Form

10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary exposure to market risk is related to our role as general partner or investment advisor to our investment

funds and the sensitivities to movements in the fair value of their investments, including the effect on management fees,

incentive fees and investment income, including performance allocations. Although our investment funds share many common

themes, each of our asset management asset classes runs its own investment and risk management processes, subject to our

overall risk tolerance and philosophy. The investment process of our investment funds involves a comprehensive due diligence

approach, including review of reputation of shareholders and management, company size and sensitivity of cash flow

generation, business sector and competitive risks, portfolio fit, exit risks and other key factors highlighted by the deal team. Key

investment decisions are generally subject to approval by both the fund-level managing directors, as well as the investment

committee, which is generally comprised of one or more of the three founding partners, one or more operating executives and/

or senior investment professionals associated with that particular fund. Once an investment in a portfolio company has been

made, our fund teams closely monitor the performance of the portfolio company, generally through frequent contact with

management and the receipt of financial and management reports.

There was no material change in our market risks during the six months ended June 30, 2024. For additional information,

refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be

disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods

Table of Contents

127

specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,

including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding

required disclosures. 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, not absolute, assurance of

achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated

the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by

this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial

officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and

procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)

under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably

likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table sets forth repurchases of our common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2024 for the

periods indicated. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, 3.5 million shares were repurchased. In addition, 0.6 million

shares were retired in connection with the net share settlement of equity-based awards, which are not included in the table

below.

Total	3,505,301		3,505,301

(1)On October 28, 2021, we announced that the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $400 million of

common stock in the aggregate, effective January 1, 2022. In February 2023, the Board of Directors replenished the repurchase

program and expanded the limit to $500 million of common stock in the aggregate, effective March 31, 2023. The Board of

Directors reset the total repurchase authorization to $1.4 billion in shares of our common stock, effective as of February 6, 2024,

which authorization replaced the Company’s prior $500 million authorization. Under the share repurchase program, shares of our

common stock may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise,

including through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and actual number of shares of common stock repurchased will depend on a

variety of factors, including legal requirements and price, economic, and market conditions. In addition to the repurchase of

common stock, the repurchase program is used for the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net share settlement of equity-

based awards granted pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan or otherwise based on the value of shares withheld that would have

otherwise been issued to the award holder. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not

have a specified expiration date.

(2)Reflects shares purchased in open market and brokered transactions, which were subsequently retired.

(3)The remaining repurchase authorization was $1,078.4 million as of June 30, 2024 when factoring in the net share settlement of

equity-based awards.
