Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

For a further discussion of the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 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, 2019. The December 31, 2019 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a 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. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date.

Evercore LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Specifically, the Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore LP and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity while the limited partners have no kick-out or substantive participating rights. The assets and liabilities of Evercore LP represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company with the exception of U.S. corporate taxes and related items, which are presented on the Company's (Parent Company Only) Condensed Statements of Financial Condition in Note 25

to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Evercore ISI International Limited ("Evercore ISI U.K."), Evercore Partners International LLP ("Evercore U.K."), Evercore (Japan) Ltd. ("Evercore Japan") and Evercore Consulting (Beijing) Co. Ltd. ("Evercore Beijing") are also VIEs, and the Company is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. Specifically for Evercore ISI U.K., Evercore Japan and Evercore Beijing (as of January 1, 2019 for Evercore Japan and Evercore Beijing), the Company provides financial support through transfer pricing agreements with these entities, which exposes the Company to losses that are potentially significant to these entities, and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of these entities. The Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore U.K. and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of this entity. The Company included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition Evercore ISI U.K., Evercore U.K., Evercore Japan and Evercore Beijing assets of $228,884 and liabilities of $102,217 at September 30, 2020 and assets of $227,885 and liabilities of $129,494 at December 31, 2019.

All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company's subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective method of transition. The Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $1,310 as of January 1, 2020. Following the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company’s accounting policies are as follows:

Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets – Accounts Receivable consists primarily of investment banking fees and expense reimbursements charged to the Company's clients. The Company records Accounts Receivable, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts, when relevant revenue recognition criteria has been achieved and payment is conditioned on the passage of time. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide coverage for estimated losses from its client receivables. The Company determines the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the Company's analysis of historical credit loss experience of its client receivables, and taking into consideration current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company has determined that long-term forecasted information is not relevant to its fee receivables, which are primarily short-term. The Company updates its average credit loss rates periodically and maintains a quarterly allowance review process to consider current factors that would require an adjustment to the credit loss allowance. In addition, the Company periodically performs a qualitative assessment to monitor risks associated with current and forecasted conditions that may require an adjustment to the expected credit loss rates. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets and changes to expected credit losses during the period are recognized in earnings.

The Investment Banking and Investment Management receivables collection periods generally are within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and fees related to private funds capital raising, which are collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for restructuring transaction receivables may exceed 90 days. Receivables that are collected in a period exceeding one year are reflected in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The Company records contract assets within Other Current Assets and Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition when payment is due from a client conditioned on future performance or the occurrence of other events. The Company also recognizes a contract asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the benefit of those costs is expected to be longer than one year. The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the amortization period is one year or less.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-13 – In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which amend the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments and add an impairment model (the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Entities will recognize an allowance for its estimate of expected credit losses as of the end of each reporting period. ASU 2016-13 also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment for available-for-sale debt securities and requires impairments on these securities to be recognized in earnings through an allowance when fair value is less than amortized cost and a credit loss exists or when the securities are expected to be sold before a recovery of amortized cost. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted after December 15, 2018.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $1,310 as of January 1, 2020. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-13, the Company’s allowance for credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost will reflect management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets. These expected credit losses are measured based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, and changes to expected credit losses during the period are recognized in earnings. The impact of the new guidance primarily relates to the Company’s trade accounts receivable. The Company previously used the specific identification method for establishing credit provisions and write-offs of its trade accounts receivable.

ASU 2018-13 – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 provides amendments to ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), which remove the requirements surrounding the disclosure and policy of transfers between fair value levels and the valuation processes for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, ASU 2018-13 adds disclosure requirements for changes in unrealized gains and losses for Level 3 measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses and unobservable inputs for Level 3 measurements should be applied prospectively, and all other amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.

ASU 2018-17 – In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, "Consolidation (Topic 810) - Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities" ("ASU 2018-17"). ASU 2018-17 provides amendments to ASC 810, "Consolidation" which states that any indirect interest held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be retrospectively applied with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company adopted ASU 2018-17 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-17 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.

ASU 2019-12 – In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" ("ASU 2019-12"). ASU 2019-12 provides amendments to ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") which simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions in ASC 740 and clarify and amend certain existing guidance. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amendments on separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax should be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented, amendments on ownership changes of foreign equity method investments or foreign subsidiaries should be applied on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded through retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption, and all other amendments should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.

ASU 2020-01 – In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, "Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, 323, and Topic 815" ("ASU 2020-01"). ASU 2020-01 provides amendments to clarify the accounting for certain equity securities when the equity method of accounting is applied or discontinued and scope considerations related to forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.

ASU 2020-06 – In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" ("ASU 2020-06"). ASU 2020-06 provides amendments to reduce the number of models used to account for convertible instruments and to simplify the accounting for contracts in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 also provides amendments to diluted earnings per share calculations, which require entities to use the if-converted method for convertible instruments and to include the effect of potential share settlement from instruments that may be settled in cash or in shares. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted.

The Company's contract assets represent arrangements in which an estimate of variable consideration has been included in the transaction price and thereby recognized as revenue that precedes the contractual due date. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when all material conditions for completion have been met and it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period.

The Company recognized revenue of $5,652 and $11,543 on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $3,377 and $10,870 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, that was initially included in deferred revenue on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Generally, performance obligations under client arrangements will be settled within one year; therefore, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14.

The allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

See Notes 2 and 3 for further information.

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

The change in the balance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily related to an increase in the current period provision of expected credit losses and the write-off of aged receivables, as well as the impact of the change in the amount of receivables outstanding greater than 120 days at September 30, 2020.

For long-term accounts receivable and long-term contract assets, the Company monitors clients’ creditworthiness based on collection experience and other internal metrics. The following table presents the Company’s long-term accounts receivable and long-term contract assets from the Company's private and secondary fund advisory businesses as of September 30, 2020, by year of origination:

Note 5 – Business Developments, Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, and Intangible Asset Amortization

Business Developments

Sale of ECB Trust Business - On July 2, 2020, the Company completed the sale of the trust business of Evercore Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V. ("ECB") (the "ECB Trust Business"), which was a part of its Investment Management segment, for a purchase price of MXN 39,500 ($1,830). As a result of this transaction, the Company deconsolidated assets of $475, representing an allocation of goodwill based on the relative fair value of the business being sold to the total fair value of the Institutional Asset Management reporting unit. This transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $1,355 included in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs

The Company recognized $7,380 and $39,614 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, these costs include $7,253 and $37,558, respectively, for separation and transition benefits and related costs as a result of the Company's review of its operations, described below, and $127 and $2,056, respectively, for the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements and certain other fixed assets in conjunction with the expansion of the Company's headquarters in New York and the Company's business realignment initiatives.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company substantially completed a review of operations focused on markets, sectors and people which have delivered lower levels of productivity in an effort to attain greater flexibility of operations and better position itself for future growth. This review, which began in the fourth quarter of 2019, will generate reductions of approximately 8% of the Company's headcount. In conjunction with the employment reductions, the Company is expected to incur aggregate separation and transition benefits (including costs related to the acceleration of deferred compensation) and related costs of approximately $43,000, $37,558 of which has been recorded in Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, in the first nine months of 2020, and $2,850 of which was recorded in 2019. The Company's estimates of charges are based on a number of assumptions. Actual results may differ materially if actual activity deviates from these assumptions.

In connection with its business realignment initiatives, in April 2020, the Company entered into an agreement for the leaders of its business in Mexico to purchase ECB, the Company's Mexico based broker-dealer focused principally on providing Investment Management services, for a purchase price of MXN 35,000. This sale will be completed following regulatory approval. In addition, in October 2020 the Company announced the decision to transition its advisory presence in Mexico to a strategic alliance relationship with a newly-formed independent strategic advisory firm founded by certain former employees.

The Company recognized $1,029 and $3,087 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, incurred related to the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements in conjunction with the expansion of the Company's headquarters in New York.

Note 8 – Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The Company, through ECB, enters into repurchase agreements with clients seeking overnight money market returns whereby ECB transfers to the clients Mexican government securities in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. ECB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the securities deliverable to, clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market, which the Company reflects as Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. The Company accounts for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried at their contract amounts, which approximate fair value given that the contracts mature the following business day. The Company records a liability on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. The Company records as assets on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities had an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 1.2 years, as of September 30, 2020, and are pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements. Generally, collateral is posted

equal to the contract value at inception and is subject to market changes. These repurchase agreements are primarily with institutional customer accounts managed by ECB and permit the counterparty to pledge the securities.

ECB has procedures in place to monitor the daily risk limits for positions taken, as well as the credit risk based on the collateral pledged under these agreements against their contract value from inception to maturity date. The daily risk measure is Value at Risk ("VaR"), which is a statistical measure, at a 98% confidence level, of the potential daily losses from adverse market movements in an ordinary market environment based on a historical simulation using the prior year's historical data. ECB's Risk Management Committee (the "Committee") has established a policy to maintain VaR at levels below 0.1% of the value of the portfolio. If at any point in time the threshold is exceeded, ECB personnel are alerted by an automated interface with ECB's trading systems and begin to make adjustments in the portfolio in order to mitigate the risk and bring the portfolio in compliance. Concurrently, ECB personnel must notify the Committee of the variance and the actions taken to reduce the exposure to loss.

In addition to monitoring VaR, ECB periodically performs discrete stress tests ("Stress Tests") to assure that the level of potential losses that would arise from extreme market movements that may not be anticipated by VaR measures are within acceptable levels.

Company reflects its pro rata share of unrealized gains and losses occurring from changes in fair value. Additionally, the Company reflects its pro rata share of realized gains, losses and carried interest associated with any investment realizations.

A summary of the Company's investments in the private equity funds as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows:



	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019

General Partners of Private Equity Funds which are VIEs

Following the Glisco transaction, the Company concluded that Glisco Capital Partners II, Glisco Capital Partners III and Glisco Manager Holdings LP are VIEs and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary of these entities included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance of these entities and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to the entities, or the right to receive benefits from the entities that could be potentially significant. Neither the Company nor its related parties will have the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Further, as a limited partner in these entities, the Company does not possess substantive participating rights. The Company had assets of $2,975 and $4,658 included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to these unconsolidated VIEs, representing the carrying value of the Company's investments in the entities. The Company's exposure to the obligations of these VIEs is generally limited to its investments in these entities. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $5,483 and $8,810, respectively, which represents the carrying value of the Company's investments in these VIEs, as well as any unfunded commitments to the current and future funds.

Investment in Trilantic Capital Partners

In 2010, the Company made a limited partnership investment in Trilantic in exchange for 500 Class A partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class A LP Units") having a fair value of $16,090. This investment gave the Company the right to invest in Trilantic's current and future private equity funds, beginning with Trilantic Fund IV. The Company accounts for this investment at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. The Company allocates the cost of this investment to its investments in current and future Trilantic funds as the Company satisfies the capital calls of these funds. The Company bases this allocation on its expectation of Trilantic's future fundraising ability and performance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, $14 and $110 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund V and VI, respectively. From 2010 to 2019, $1,178, $5,135 and $3,015 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund IV, V and VI, respectively. This investment had a balance of $6,638 and $6,762 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

This investment had a balance of $387 and $899 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Note 10 – Leases

Operating Leases – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2035. The lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. The Company does not have any leases with variable lease payments. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office space of $12,248 and $36,272 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $10,649 and $30,992 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and variable lease cost of $1,841 and $4,696 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $1,754 and $6,572 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

On July 1, 2018, the Company entered into a new lease agreement for office space at its headquarters at 55 East 52nd St., New York, New York. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company committed to extend the lease term for the Company's current space and add space on up to seven additional floors, three of which commenced as of the lease’s effective date. The Company anticipates that it will take possession of the remainder of these floors over the next three years. On December 6, 2019, the lease was modified to add an additional floor and to extend the lease term for all current and prospective space to end on December 31, 2035.

In conjunction with the lease of office space, the Company has entered into letters of credit in the amounts of $5,549 and $5,536, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which are secured by cash that is included in Other Assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The Company has entered into various operating leases for the use of office equipment (primarily computers, printers, copiers and other information technology related equipment). Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office equipment of $1,170 and $3,497 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $1,132 and $3,059 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

The Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The determination of an appropriate incremental borrowing rate requires significant assumptions and judgment. The Company's incremental borrowing rate was calculated based on the Company's recent debt issuances and current market conditions. The Company scales the rates appropriately depending on the life of the leases.

The Company incurred net operating cash outflows of $22,469 and $15,778 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to its operating leases, which were net of cash received from lease incentives of $10,267 and $12,854, respectively.

In conjunction with the lease agreement to expand its headquarters at 55 East 52nd St., New York, New York, and lease agreements at certain other locations, the Company entered into leases for office space which have not yet commenced and thus are not yet included on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company anticipates that it will take possession of these spaces by the end of 2023. These spaces will have lease terms of 3 to 13 years once the Company has taken possession. The additional future payments under these arrangements are $197,835 as of September 30, 2020.

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities, listed derivatives and treasury bills. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The estimated

Table of Contents

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

fair values of corporate bonds, municipal bonds and other debt securities held at December 31, 2019 are based on prices provided by external pricing services.

Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following table presents the categorization of investments and certain other financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy 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 investment.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company determined that the fair value of the Institutional Asset Management reporting unit was $8,777. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated by utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology based on adjusted cash flows from operations. Goodwill is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a Level III asset.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's financial instrument assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, are listed in the tables below.

(a)

The Company previously had outstanding Class J limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class J LP Units"), which converted into Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units") and ultimately became exchangeable into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis. As of September 30, 2020, no Class J LP Units remained issued or outstanding. See Note 16 for further information. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Class J LP Units were dilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been included in the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders under the if-converted method. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all Class J LP Units are converted into Class A Shares.

(b)

The Company has outstanding Class A and E LP Units, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one-for-one basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Class A and E LP Units were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

included in the denominator of the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 5,070 and 5,161 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and 5,310 and 5,238 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The adjustment to the numerator, diluted net income attributable to Class A common shareholders, if the effect would have been dilutive, would have been $6,560 and $18,990 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $6,804 and $25,996 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested Class A LP Units and all Class E LP Units are converted into Class A Shares, that all earnings attributable to those shares are attributed to Evercore Inc. and that the Company is subject to the statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional corporate tax structure in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the Class A and E LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods.

(c)

The Company has outstanding Class I-P units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units"), and ultimately Class A Shares, and outstanding Class K-P units of Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class K limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class K LP Units"), and ultimately Class A Shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders, the Company's Class I-P Units and Class K-P Units are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding as of the beginning of the period in which all necessary performance conditions have been satisfied. If all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of shares that are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding is based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period. The Units that were assumed to be converted to an equal number of Class A Shares for purposes of computing diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders were 400 for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

The shares of Class B common stock have no right to receive dividends or a distribution on liquidation or winding up of the Company. The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of the Company and no earnings are allocable to such class. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.

Note 16 – Share-Based and Other Deferred Compensation

LP Units

Equities business – In conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of International Strategy & Investment ("ISI") in 2014, the Company issued Evercore LP units and interests which have been treated as compensation.

In July 2017, the Company exchanged all of the previously outstanding 4,148 Class H limited partnership interests of Evercore LP ("Class H LP Interests") for 1,012 vested (963 of which were subject to certain liquidated damages and continued employment provisions) and 938 unvested Class J LP Units. These units converted into an equal amount of Class E LP Units, and became exchangeable into Class A Shares of the Company, ratably on February 15, 2018, 2019 and 2020. These Class J LP Units had the same vesting and delivery schedule, acceleration and forfeiture triggers, and distribution rights as the Class H LP Interests. In connection with this exchange, one share of Class B common stock has been issued to each holder of Class J LP Units, which entitles each holder to one vote on all matters submitted generally to holders of Class A and Class B common stock for each Class E LP Unit and Class J LP Unit held. As the number of Class J LP Units exchanged was within the number of Class H LP Interests that the Company determined were probable of being exchanged on the date of modification, the Company expensed the previously unrecognized grant date fair value of the Class H LP Interests ratably over the remaining vesting period of the Class J LP Units. Compensation expense related to the Class J LP Units was $1,067 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and $4,527 and $12,276 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

On February 15, 2020, 223 Class J LP Units vested and were converted to an equal amount of Class E LP Units. Following the conversion, no Class J LP Units remain issued and outstanding.

Other Performance-based Awards – In November 2016, the Company issued 400 Class I-P Units in conjunction with the appointment of the current Co-Chief Executive Officer (then Executive Chairman). These Class I-P Units convert into a specified number of Class I LP Units, which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis to Class A Shares, contingent on the achievement of certain market and service conditions, subject to vesting upon specified termination events (including retirement, upon satisfying certain eligibility criteria, on or following January 15, 2022, subject to a one year prior written notice requirement) or a change in control. These Class I-P Units are segregated into two groups of 200 units each, with share price threshold vesting conditions which are required to exceed a certain level for 20 consecutive trading days (which were met as of March 31, 2017). The Company

EVERCORE INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

determined the fair value of the award to be $24,412 and is expensing the award ratably over the implied service period, which ends on March 1, 2022. As the award contains market-based conditions, the entire expense will be recognized if the award does not vest for any reason other than the service conditions. Compensation expense related to this award was $1,164 and $3,468 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $1,164 and $3,455 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

In November 2017, the Company issued 64 Class K-P Units to an employee of the Company. These Class K-P Units convert into a specified number of Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis to Class A Shares), contingent upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results and continued service through December 31, 2021. An additional 16 Class K-P Units may be issued contingent upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results (which were probable of achievement as of September 30, 2020) and continued service through December 31, 2021. The Company determined the value of the award probable to vest as of September 30, 2020 to be $6,250 and records expense for these units over the service period.

In June 2019, the Company issued 220 Class K-P Units to an employee of the Company. These Class K-P Units convert into a number of Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis to Class A Shares), contingent and based upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results and continued service through February 4, 2023 for the first tranche, which consists of 120 Class K-P Units convertible into a number of Class K LP Units, and February 4, 2028 for the second tranche, which consists of 100 Class K-P Units convertible into a number of Class K LP Units. The Company determined the value of the award probable to vest as of September 30, 2020 to be $21,692 and records expense for these units over the service period.

Compensation expense related to the Class K-P Units was $3,066 and $5,392 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $1,277 and $1,911 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Stock Incentive Plan

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Amended 2016 Plan"), which amended the prior Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. The Amended 2016 Plan, among other things, authorizes an additional 6,000 shares of the Company's Class A Shares. The Amended 2016 Plan permits the Company to grant to key employees, directors and consultants incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and other awards based on the Company's Class A Shares. The Company intends to use newly-issued Class A Shares to satisfy any awards under the Amended 2016 Plan and its predecessor plan. Class A Shares underlying any award granted under the 2016 Plan that expire, terminate or are canceled or satisfied for any reason without being settled in stock again become available for awards under the plans. The total shares available to be granted in the future under the Amended 2016 Plan was 7,030 as of September 30, 2020.

The Company also grants, at its discretion, dividend equivalents, in the form of unvested RSU awards, or deferred cash dividends, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A Shares, on all unvested RSU grants awarded in conjunction with annual bonuses, as well as new hire awards. The dividend equivalents have the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSU award.

The Company estimates forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of its awards. The Company periodically monitors its estimated forfeiture rate and adjusts its assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative adjustment in the period of the change.

Equity Grants

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, pursuant to the above Stock Incentive Plans, the Company granted employees 1,946 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. Service-based Awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 had grant date fair values of $44.21 to $81.53 per share, with an average value of $80.94 per share, for an aggregate fair value of $157,467, and generally vest ratably over four years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 2,529 Service-based Awards vested and 103 Service-based Awards were forfeited. Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards was $46,880 and $147,352 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $50,152 and $162,296 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Deferred Cash

The Company's deferred cash compensation program provides participants the ability to elect to receive a portion of their deferred compensation in cash, which is indexed to notional investment portfolios selected by the participant and vests ratably over four years and requires payment upon vesting. The Company granted $179,705 and $1,460 of deferred cash awards pursuant

Table of Contents

EVERCORE INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

to the deferred cash compensation program during the first and third quarters of 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, the total compensation cost related to the deferred cash compensation program not yet recognized was $197,164. The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 31 months.

In November 2016, the Company granted a restricted cash award in conjunction with the appointment of a current Co-Chief Executive Officer (then Executive Chairman) with a target payment amount of $35,000, of which $11,000 vested on March 1, 2019, $6,000 vested on March 1, 2020, and $6,000 is scheduled to vest on each of the next three anniversaries of March 1, 2020, provided that the current Co-Chief Executive Officer continues to remain employed through each such vesting date, subject to vesting upon specified termination events (including retirement, upon satisfying certain eligibility criteria, on or following May 1, 2019, subject to a six month prior written notice requirement) or a change in control. The Company had the discretion to increase (by an amount up to $35,000) or decrease (by an amount up to $8,750) the total amount payable under this award.

In 2017, the Company granted deferred cash awards of $29,500 to certain employees. These awards vest in five equal installments over the period ending June 30, 2022, subject to continued employment. The Company records expense for these awards ratably over the vesting period.

Long-term Incentive Plan

The Company's Long-term Incentive Plan provides for incentive compensation awards to Advisory Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers of the Company, who exceed defined benchmark results over four-year performance periods beginning January 1, 2013 (the "2013 Long-term Incentive Plan") and January 1, 2017 (the "2017 Long-term Incentive Plan"). The 2013 Long-term Incentive Plan was paid in cash in installments in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan, which aggregate $34,215 of current liabilities and $68,431 of long-term liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2020, is due to be paid, in cash or Class A Shares, at the Company's discretion, in three equal installments in the first quarter of 2021, 2022 and 2023, subject to employment at the time of payment. These awards are subject to retirement eligibility requirements after the performance criteria has been achieved. The Company periodically assesses the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expenses the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award. During the first quarter of 2020, in assessing the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's full year 2020 results, management decreased its expectation for the probable payout of this plan, which resulted in a reversal of $6,810 of expense during the first quarter of 2020. This analysis included a review of both historical and projected performance for those eligible under the plan. As markets continued to stabilize during the third quarter of 2020 and Advisory activity increased, management determined it would be appropriate to increase its expectation for the probable payout of the plan. The Company recorded $9,160 and $5,339 of expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $8,302 and $24,928 of expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The Company distributed cash payments of $19,516 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the 2013 Long-term Incentive Plan.

As of September 30, 2020, based on the Company's current assessment of the probability of the level of benchmarks being achieved, the total remaining expense to be accrued for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan over the future vesting period ending March 15, 2023 is $30,627.

Employee Loans Receivable

Periodically, the Company provides new and existing employees with cash payments in the form of loans and/or other cash awards which are subject to ratable vesting terms with service requirements ranging from one to five years and in certain circumstances, subject to the achievement of performance requirements. Generally, the terms of these awards include a requirement of either full or partial repayment of these awards based on the terms of their employment agreements with the Company. In circumstances where the employee meets the Company's minimum credit standards, the Company amortizes these awards to compensation expense over the relevant service period, which is generally the period they are subject to forfeiture. Compensation expense related to these awards was $8,101 and $16,516 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $6,631 and $15,976 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The remaining unamortized amount of these awards was $34,852 as of September 30, 2020.

Separation and Transition Benefits

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company substantially completed a review of operations focused on markets, sectors and people which have delivered lower levels of productivity in an effort to attain greater flexibility of operations and better position

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

itself for future growth. This review, which began in the fourth quarter of 2019, will generate reductions of approximately 8% of the Company's headcount. In conjunction with the employment reductions, the Company expects to incur expense related to separation benefits and stay arrangements of approximately $27,877 and the acceleration of deferred compensation previously granted to affected employees of approximately $15,123 (which includes approximately $11,911 related to 172 RSUs). These charges are expected to be incurred in 2019 and 2020, primarily within the Investment Banking segment.

The Company's estimates of charges are based on a number of assumptions. Actual results may differ materially if actual activity deviates from these assumptions.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the separation benefits, stay arrangements and accelerated deferred cash compensation (together, the "Termination Costs") resulted in expense of $4,151 and $26,967, respectively, and the acceleration of the amortization of share-based payments resulted in expense of $3,102 and $10,437, respectively, each recorded in Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, primarily within the Investment Banking segment, on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In addition, in conjunction with the Company's review of its operations, the Termination Costs resulted in expense of $1,578 and the acceleration of the amortization of share-based payments resulted in expense of $1,272, each recorded in Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, primarily within the Investment Banking segment, on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company granted separation and transition benefits to certain employees, resulting in expense included in Employee Compensation and Benefits, primarily within the Investment Banking segment, of $2,762 and $7,575 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. This is comprised of expense related to the Termination Costs of $2,071 and $5,664, respectively, and expense related to the acceleration of the amortization of share-based payments of $691 and $1,911, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

The following table presents the change in the Company's Termination Costs liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:



	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2020
Balance at January 1, 2020	$	1,151
Termination Costs Incurred	26,967

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, Mexican, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company's business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings (including the matter described below), individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450, "Contingencies" ("ASC 450") when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

Note 18 – Regulatory Authorities

EGL's regulatory net capital as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $493,456 and $331,510, respectively, which exceeded the minimum net capital requirement by $493,206 and $331,260, respectively.

Certain other non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to various securities and banking regulations and capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the countries in which they operate.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, $118 of unrecognized tax benefits were recognized by the Company as a result of a lapse in the statute of limitations, of which $96 affected the effective tax rate.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Evercore Inc.'s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains, or incorporates by reference, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "outlook," "backlog," "believes," "expects," "potential," "probable," "continues," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "predicts," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "anticipates" or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this report are forward-looking statements, including with respect to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, and are based on various underlying assumptions and expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business.

Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements and, based on various underlying assumptions and expectations, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in Evercore's business. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under "Risk Factors" discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2020. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included or incorporated by reference in this report, including those statements herein with respect to the adverse impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, on our business. In addition, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise except as required by law.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can management assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Key Financial Measures

Revenue

Total revenues reflect revenues from our Investment Banking and Investment Management business segments that include fees for services, transaction-related client reimbursements plus other revenue. Net revenues reflect total revenues less interest expense.

Investment Banking. Our Investment Banking business earns fees from our clients for providing advice on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, restructurings, activism and defense and similar corporate finance matters, and from underwriting and private placement activities, as well as commissions and fees from research and our sales and trading activities. The amount and timing of the fees paid vary by the type of engagement or services provided. In general, advisory fees are paid at the time we sign an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. The majority of our investment banking revenue consists of advisory fees for which realizations are dependent on the successful completion of transactions. A transaction can fail to be completed for many reasons which are outside of our control, including failure of parties to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, to secure necessary board or shareholder approvals, to secure necessary financing or to achieve necessary regulatory approvals, or due to adverse market conditions. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees are subject to approval of the court. Underwriting fees are recognized when the offering has been deemed to be completed and placement fees are generally recognized at the time of the client's acceptance of capital or capital commitments. Commissions and Related Fees includes commissions, which are recorded on a trade-date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, on the date earned. Commissions and Related Fees also include subscription fees for the sales of research. Cash

received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) and recognized as revenue over the remaining subscription period.

Revenue trends in our advisory business generally are correlated to the volume of merger and acquisition ("M&A") activity and/or restructuring activity, which tends to be counter-cyclical to M&A. However, deviations from this trend can occur in any given year or quarter for a number of reasons. For example, changes in our market share or the ability of our clients to close certain large transactions can cause our revenue results to diverge from the level of overall M&A or restructuring activity. Revenue trends in our equities business are correlated to market volumes, which generally decrease in periods of low market volatility or unfavorable market or economic conditions. For further information see COVID-19 in "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Investment Management. Our Investment Management business includes operations related to the Wealth Management and Institutional Asset Management businesses and interests in private equity funds which we do not manage. Revenue sources primarily include management fees, fiduciary fees, performance fees (including carried interest) and gains (or losses) on our investments.

Management fees for third party clients generally represent a percentage of assets under management ("AUM"). Fiduciary fees, which are generally a function of the size and complexity of each engagement, are individually negotiated. We record performance fees upon the earlier of the termination of the investment fund or when the likelihood of clawback is mathematically improbable. Gains and losses include both realized and unrealized gains and losses on principal investments, including those arising from our equity interest in investment partnerships.

Transaction-Related Client Reimbursements. In both our Investment Banking and Investment Management segments, we incur various transaction-related expenditures, such as travel and professional fees, in the course of performing our services. Pursuant to the engagement letters with our advisory clients, these expenditures may be reimbursable. We define these expenses, which are associated with revenue activities earned over time, as transaction-related expenses and record such expenditures as incurred and record revenue when it is determined that clients have an obligation to reimburse us for such transaction-related expenses. Client expense reimbursements are recorded as revenue on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on the later of the date an engagement letter is executed or the date we pay or accrue the expense.

Other Revenue and Interest Expense. Other Revenue and Interest Expense is derived from investing customer funds in financing transactions. These transactions are principally repurchases and resales of Mexican government and government agency securities. Revenue and expenses associated with these transactions are recognized over the term of the repurchase or resale transaction.

Other Revenue also includes interest income and income (losses) earned on investment securities, including our investment funds and futures contracts which are used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program, certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents and on our debt security investment in G5, as well as adjustments to amounts due pursuant to our tax receivable agreement, subsequent to its initial establishment, related to changes in enacted tax rates, and gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency fluctuations, principal trading and realized and unrealized gains and losses on interests in private equity funds which we do not manage. In 2020, Other Revenue also includes a gain on the sale of the ECB Trust Business.

Interest Expense also includes interest expense associated with our Notes Payable and lines of credit.

Operating Expenses

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense. We include all payments for services rendered by our employees, as well as profits interests in our businesses that have been accounted for as compensation, in employee compensation and benefits expense.

We maintain compensation programs, including base salary, cash, deferred cash and equity bonus awards and benefits programs and manage compensation to estimates of competitive levels based on market conditions and performance. Our level of compensation, including deferred compensation, reflects our plan to maintain competitive compensation levels to retain key personnel, and it reflects the impact of newly-hired senior professionals, including related grants of equity awards which are generally valued at their grant date.

Increasing the number of high-caliber, experienced senior level employees is critical to our growth efforts. In our advisory businesses, these hires generally do not begin to generate significant revenue in the year they are hired.

Our annual compensation program includes share-based compensation awards and deferred cash awards as a component of the annual bonus awards for certain employees. These awards are generally subject to annual vesting requirements over a four-year period beginning at the date of grant, which occurs in the first quarter of each year; accordingly, the expense is generally

Table of Contents

amortized over the stated vesting period, subject to retirement eligibility. With respect to annual awards, our retirement eligibility criteria generally stipulates that if an employee has at least five years of continuous service, is at least 55 years of age and has a combined age and years of service of at least 65 years, the employee is eligible for retirement. Beginning in 2019, we implemented additional retirement eligibility qualifying criteria, for awards issued in 2019 and after, that stipulates if an employee has at least 10 years of continuous service and is at least 60 years of age, the employee is also eligible for retirement. Retirement eligibility allows for continued vesting of awards after employees depart from the Company, provided they give the minimum advance notice, which is generally six months to one year.

We estimate forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of the awards. We periodically monitor our estimated forfeiture rate and adjust our assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative adjustment in the period of the change.

Our Long-term Incentive Plan provides for incentive compensation awards to Advisory Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers, who exceed defined benchmark results over four-year performance periods beginning January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2017. The 2013 Long-term Incentive Plan was paid in cash in installments in 2017, 2018 and 2019 (for the performance period beginning on January 1, 2013). The 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan is due to be paid, in cash or Class A Shares, at our discretion, in three equal installments in the first quarter of 2021, 2022 and 2023 (for the performance period beginning on January 1, 2017), subject to employment at the time of payment. These awards are subject to retirement eligibility requirements after the performance criteria has been achieved. We periodically assess the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expense the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award.

From time to time, we also grant performance awards to certain individuals which include both performance and service based vesting requirements. See Note 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

We believe that the ratio of Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense to Net Revenues is an important measure to assess the annual cost of compensation and provides a meaningful basis for comparison of compensation and benefits expense between present, historical and future years.

Non-Compensation Expenses. Our other operating expenses include costs for occupancy and equipment rental, professional fees, travel and related expenses, communications and information technology services, depreciation and amortization, execution, clearing and custody fees, acquisition and transition costs and other operating expenses. We refer to all of these expenses as non-compensation expenses.

Other Expenses

Other Expenses include the following:


•	Amortization of LP Units and Certain Other Awards – Includes amortization costs associated with the vesting of Class J LP Units issued in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI and certain other related awards.

•

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs – Includes expenses in 2020 related to separation and transition benefits and related costs as a result of our review of operations and the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements and certain other fixed assets in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and our business realignment initiatives. Includes expenses in 2019 related to the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York.


•	Acquisition and Transition Costs – Includes costs incurred in connection with acquisitions, divestitures and other ongoing business development initiatives, primarily comprised of professional fees for legal and other services, including costs in 2020 associated with the sale of the ECB Trust Business.


•	Intangible Asset and Other Amortization – Includes amortization of intangible assets and other purchase accounting-related amortization associated with certain acquisitions.

Income from Equity Method Investments

Our share of the income (loss) from our equity interests in ABS, Atalanta Sosnoff and Luminis are included within Income from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Table of Contents

Provision for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies associated with the appreciation or depreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price are recognized in our Provision for Income Taxes. In addition, net deferred tax assets are impacted by changes to statutory tax rates in the period of enactment.

Noncontrolling Interest

We record noncontrolling interest relating to the ownership interests of certain of our current and former Senior Managing Directors and other officers and their estate planning vehicles in Evercore LP, as well as the portions of our operating subsidiaries not owned by Evercore. As described in Note 14 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein, Evercore Inc. is the sole general partner of Evercore LP and has a majority economic interest in Evercore LP. As a result, Evercore Inc. consolidates Evercore LP and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held by the limited partners.

We generally allocate net income or loss to participating noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the relative ownership interest of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits or losses to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, the net income or loss of these entities is allocated based on these special allocations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 versus September 30, 2019

Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. was $42.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 2%, compared to $43.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The changes in our operating results during these periods are described below.

Net Revenues were $402.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $0.3 million versus Net Revenues of $402.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Advisory Fees decreased $50.2 million, or 16%, Underwriting Fees increased $48.9 million, or 278%, and Commissions and Related Fees decreased $3.0 million, or 6%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $1.4 million, or 11%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, increased 26% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, which was primarily attributable to gains on the investment funds

portfolio, which is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program. For further information see Notes 7 and 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Total Operating Expenses were $330.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $323.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $7.1 million, or 2%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $259.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $22.6 million, or 10%, versus $237.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily driven by higher levels of incentive compensation recognized this year, higher amortization of unvested share-based and deferred cash awards and higher base salaries, primarily due to promotions. Non-Compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $71.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $15.5 million, or 18%, versus $86.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Non-Compensation operating expenses decreased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily driven by decreased travel and related expenses related to prolonged travel restrictions. Non-Compensation expenses per employee were approximately $40.4 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020, versus $46.8 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Total Other Expenses of $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 included Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $7.4 million related to separation and transition benefits and related costs (see below for further information) and the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements and certain other fixed assets in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and our business realignment initiatives, Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.5 million and intangible asset and other amortization of $0.2 million. Total Other Expenses of $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included compensation costs of $4.6 million associated with the vesting of Class J LP Units and certain other awards granted in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI, intangible asset and other amortization of $2.2 million, Special Charges of $1.0 million, related to the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.4 million.

In the first quarter of 2020, we substantially completed a review of operations focused on markets, sectors and people which have delivered lower levels of productivity in an effort to attain greater flexibility of operations and better position ourself for future growth. This review, which began in the fourth quarter of 2019, will generate reductions of approximately 8% of our headcount. In conjunction with the employment reductions, we expect to incur aggregate separation and transition benefits (including costs related to the acceleration of deferred compensation) and related costs of approximately $43.0 million, $7.3 million of which has been recorded in Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, in the third quarter of 2020. Our estimates of charges are based on a number of assumptions. Actual results may differ materially if actual activity deviates from these assumptions.

As a result of the factors noted above, Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 64.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 60.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The compensation ratio is 66.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 when the $7.3 million of separation and transition benefits expense, which is presented within Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, is also included. The increase in the compensation ratio is primarily driven by higher levels of incentive compensation recognized this year, higher amortization of unvested share-based and deferred cash awards and higher base salaries, primarily due to promotions. The compensation ratio in any given period is subject to fluctuation based, in part, on the amount of revenue earned in that period. Given the uncertainty about both revenues for the remainder of the year and market compensation for our employees, we have more uncertainty about the full year compensation ratio than at this time in prior years. For further information see COVID-19 below.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in earnings from Atalanta Sosnoff and Luminis during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $15.7 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 23.5%. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $20.4 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 28.0%. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2020 reflects an additional tax expense of $0.2 million and for the three months ended September 30, 2019 an additional deduction of $0.05 million due to the impact associated with the appreciation or depreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price, the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including expenses related to Class J LP Units and Class I-P and K-P Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest was $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest primarily reflects lower income allocated to noncontrolling interest for Evercore LP during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 versus September 30, 2019

Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. was $130.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $62.1 million, or 32%, compared to $192.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The changes in our operating results during these periods are described below.

Net Revenues were $1.34 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $12.0 million, or 1%, versus Net Revenues of $1.35 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Advisory Fees decreased $124.6 million, or 11%, Underwriting Fees increased $119.8 million, or 195%, and Commissions and Related Fees increased $15.9 million, or 12%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $2.3 million, or 6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, decreased 64% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which was primarily attributable to lower performance of our investment funds portfolio, which is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program, and lower performance of our legacy private equity investments. We recorded $1.0 million of gains on the investment funds portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $9.2 million of gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For further information see Notes 7 and 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Interest Expense increased 18% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which was primarily attributable to interest expense on the 2019 Private Placement Notes which were issued in August 2019.

Total Operating Expenses were $1.09 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.05 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $49.3 million, or 5%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $863.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $72.2 million, or 9%, versus $791.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily driven by higher levels of incentive compensation recognized this year, higher amortization of unvested share-based and deferred cash awards and higher base salaries, primarily due to promotions. Non-Compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $230.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $23.0 million, or 9%, versus $253.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Non-Compensation operating expenses decreased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily driven by decreased travel and related expenses, related to prolonged travel restrictions, and decreased professional fees, partially offset by increased bad debt expense. Non-Compensation expenses per employee were approximately $123.3 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, versus $140.2 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Total Other Expenses of $42.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $39.6 million related to separation and transition benefits and related costs (see below for further information) and the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements and certain other fixed assets in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and our business realignment initiatives, intangible asset and other amortization of $1.2 million, compensation costs of $1.1 million associated with the vesting of Class J LP Units and certain other awards granted in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI and Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.6 million. Total Other Expenses of $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included compensation costs of $12.3 million associated with the vesting of Class J LP Units and certain other awards granted in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI, intangible asset and other amortization of $6.5 million, Special Charges of $3.1 million related to the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.5 million.

In the first quarter of 2020, we substantially completed a review of operations focused on markets, sectors and people which have delivered lower levels of productivity in an effort to attain greater flexibility of operations and better position ourself for future growth. This review, which began in the fourth quarter of 2019, will generate reductions of approximately 8% of our headcount. In conjunction with the employment reductions, we expect to incur aggregate separation and transition benefits (including costs related to the acceleration of deferred compensation) and related costs of approximately $43.0 million, $37.6 million of which has been recorded in Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, in the first nine months of 2020. Our estimates of charges are based on a number of assumptions. Actual results may differ materially if actual activity deviates from these assumptions.

As a result of the factors noted above, Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 64.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 59.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The compensation ratio is 67.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 when the $37.4 million of separation and transition benefits expense, which is presented within Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, is also included. The increase in the compensation ratio is primarily driven by higher levels of incentive compensation recognized this year, higher amortization of unvested share-based and deferred cash awards and higher base salaries, primarily due to promotions, as well as lower Other Revenue earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulting from lower performance on the investment funds portfolio, which is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program, and legacy private equity investments. The compensation ratio in any given period is subject to fluctuation based, in part, on the amount of revenue earned in that period. Given the uncertainty about both revenues for the remainder of the year and market compensation for our employees, we have more uncertainty about the full year compensation ratio than at this time in prior years.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in earnings from Atalanta Sosnoff and Luminis during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $51.0 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 24.5%. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $60.3 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 20.9%. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflects an additional tax expense of $0.1 million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 an additional deduction of $12.2 million due to the net impact associated with the appreciation or depreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price, the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including expenses related to Class J LP Units and Class I-P and K-P Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest was $27.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $35.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest primarily reflects lower income allocated to noncontrolling interest for Evercore LP during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Investment Banking Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 versus September 30, 2019

Net Investment Banking Revenues were $385.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $388.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 1%. We earned 206 fees from Advisory clients for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 213 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing a 3% decrease. We earned 74 fees in excess of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The decrease in revenues from the three months ended September 30, 2019 reflects a decrease of $50.2 million, or 16%, in Advisory Fees, reflecting a decrease in the number of advisory fees earned and a decline in revenue earned from large transactions during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in Advisory Fees was predominantly offset by an increase in Underwriting Fees. Underwriting Fees increased $48.9 million, or 278%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, as underwriting activity remained elevated from prior year levels. We participated in 30 underwriting transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (compared to 18 for the three months ended September 30, 2019), 23 of which were as a bookrunner (compared to 10 for the three months ended September 30, 2019). Commissions and Related Fees decreased $3.0 million, or 6%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. Other Revenue, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, increased 64% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily reflecting gains of $7.8 million on the investment funds portfolio, which is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $0.5 million of gains for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For further information see Notes 7 and 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operating Expenses were $318.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $311.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $7.0 million, or 2%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $250.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $228.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $22.4 million, or 10%. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily driven by higher levels of incentive compensation recognized this year, higher amortization of unvested share-based and deferred cash awards and higher base salaries, primarily due to promotions. Non-Compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $67.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $83.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $15.4 million, or 19%. Non-Compensation operating expenses decreased from the prior year primarily driven by decreased travel and related expenses related to prolonged travel restrictions.

Other Expenses of $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 included Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $7.4 million related to separation and transition benefits and related costs and the acceleration of depreciation

Table of Contents

expense for leasehold improvements and certain other fixed assets in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and our business realignment initiatives, intangible asset and other amortization of $0.2 million and Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.2 million. Other Expenses of $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included compensation costs of $4.6 million associated with the vesting of Class J LP Units and certain other awards granted in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI, intangible asset and other amortization of $2.2 million, Special Charges of $1.0 million related to the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.2 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 versus September 30, 2019

Net Investment Banking Revenues were $1.29 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.31 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $11.1 million, or 1%. We earned 475 fees from Advisory clients for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 489 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing a 3% decrease. We earned 224 fees in excess of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 223 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in revenues from the nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflects a decrease of $124.6 million, or 11% in Advisory Fees, reflecting a decrease in the number of Advisory fees earned and a decline in revenue earned from large transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in Advisory Fees was predominantly offset by an increase in Underwriting Fees. Underwriting Fees increased $119.8 million, or 195%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as we closed several of the largest deals in our history. We participated in 78 underwriting transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (compared to 57 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019), 52 of which were as a bookrunner (compared to 37 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019). Commissions and Related Fees increased $15.9 million, or 12%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of elevated volatility during the first half of 2020. Other Revenue, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, decreased versus the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily reflecting lower performance of the investment funds portfolio, which is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program, and increased interest expense primarily attributable to the 2019 Private Placement Notes which were issued in August 2019. For further information see Notes 7 and 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operating Expenses were $1.06 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.01 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $48.9 million, or 5%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $837.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $765.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $71.8 million, or 9%. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily driven by higher levels of incentive compensation recognized this year, higher amortization of unvested share-based and deferred cash awards and higher base salaries, primarily due to promotions. Non-Compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $220.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $243.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $22.9 million, or 9%. Non-Compensation operating expenses decreased from the prior year primarily driven by decreased travel and related expenses, related to prolonged travel restrictions, and decreased professional fees, partially offset by increased bad debt expense.

Other Expenses of $42.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $39.6 million related to separation and transition benefits and related costs and the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements and certain other fixed assets in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and our business realignment initiatives, intangible asset and other amortization of $1.2 million, compensation costs of $1.1 million associated with the vesting of Class J LP Units and certain other awards granted in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI, and Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.3 million. Other Expenses of $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included compensation costs of $12.3 million associated with the vesting of Class J LP Units and certain other awards granted in conjunction with the acquisition of ISI, intangible asset and other amortization of $6.5 million, Special Charges of $3.1 million related to the acceleration of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements in conjunction with the expansion of our headquarters in New York and Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.2 million.

Our Investment Management segment includes the following activities:


•	Wealth Management – conducted through EWM and ETC. Fee-based revenues from EWM are primarily earned on a percentage of AUM, while ETC primarily earns fees from negotiated trust services.


•	Institutional Asset Management – conducted through ECB. Fee-based revenues from ECB are primarily earned on a percentage of AUM. In April 2020, we entered into an agreement for the leaders of our business in Mexico to purchase ECB. This sale will be completed following regulatory approval. See Note 5 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

•

Private Equity – conducted through our investment interests in private equity funds. We maintain a limited partner's interest in Glisco II, Glisco III and Glisco IV, as well as Glisco Manager Holdings LP and the general partners of the Glisco Funds. We receive our portion of the management fees earned by Glisco Partners Inc. ("Glisco") from Glisco Manager Holdings LP. We are passive investors and do not participate in the management of any Glisco sponsored funds. We are also passive investors in Trilantic IV, Trilantic V and Trilantic VI. In the event the private equity funds perform below certain thresholds we may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of September 30, 2020, $0.3 million of previously distributed carried interest received from the funds was subject to repayment.

Assets Under Management

AUM for our Investment Management businesses of $10.9 billion at September 30, 2020 increased compared to $10.7 billion at December 31, 2019. The amounts of AUM presented in the table below primarily reflect the assets which we manage. These assets reflect the fair value of assets managed on behalf of Institutional Asset Management and Wealth Management clients. As defined in ASC 820, valuations performed for Level I investments are based on quoted prices obtained from active markets generated by third parties and Level II investments are valued through the use of models based on either direct or indirect observable inputs in the use of models or other valuation methodologies performed by third parties to determine fair value. For both the Level I and Level II investments, we obtain both active quotes from nationally recognized exchanges and third-party pricing services to determine market or fair value quotes, respectively. For Level III investments, pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment

Table of Contents

and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Wealth Management maintained 71% and 69% of Level I investments, 25% and 27% of Level II investments and 4% of Level III investments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Institutional Asset Management maintained 85% of Level I investments and 15% of Level II investments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The fees that we receive for providing investment advisory and management services are primarily driven by the level and composition of AUM. Accordingly, client flows, market movements, foreign currency fluctuations and changes in our product mix will impact the level of management fees we receive from our investment management businesses. Fees vary with the type of assets managed and the channel in which they are managed, with higher fees earned on equity assets and alternative investment funds, such as hedge funds and private equity funds, and lower fees earned on fixed income and cash management products. Clients will increase or reduce the aggregate amount of AUM that we manage for a number of reasons, including changes in the level of assets that they have available for investment purposes, their overall asset allocation strategy, our relative performance versus competitors offering similar investment products and the quality of our service. The fees we earn are also impacted by our investment performance, as the appreciation or depreciation in the value of the assets that we manage directly impacts our fees.

The following table summarizes AUM activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

Our Wealth Management business serves individuals, families and related institutions delivering customized investment management, financial planning, and trust and custody services. Investment portfolios are tailored to meet the investment objectives of individual clients and reflect a blend of equity, fixed income and other products. Fees charged to clients reflect the composition of the assets managed and the services provided. Investment performance in the Wealth Management businesses is measured against appropriate indices based on the AUM, most frequently the S&P 500 and a composite fixed income index principally reflecting BarCap and MSCI indices.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, AUM for Wealth Management increased 5%, primarily reflecting a 4% increase due to market appreciation and a 1% increase due to flows. Wealth Management outperformed the S&P 500 on a 1 and

Table of Contents

3-year basis by approximately 10% and 5%, respectively, during the period. Wealth Management lagged the fixed income composite on a 1 and 3 year basis by approximately 140 basis points and 60 basis points, respectively. For the period, the S&P 500 and fixed income composite were up approximately 6% and 4%, respectively.

Our Institutional Asset Management business reflects assets managed by ECB, which primarily manages Mexican Government and corporate fixed income securities, as well as equity products. ECB utilizes the IPC Index, which is a capitalization weighted index of leading equities traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange and the Cetes 28 Index, which is an index of Treasury Bills issued by the Mexican Government, as benchmarks in reviewing their performance and managing their investment decisions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, AUM for Institutional Asset Management decreased 13%, primarily reflecting a 15% decrease due to market depreciation, partially offset by a 2% increase due to flows. ECB's AUM market depreciation reflects market volatility, as well as the impact of the fluctuation of foreign currency. ECB outperformed the equities index and outperformed the fixed income index on two of their three portfolios for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

AUM from our unconsolidated affiliates increased 3% compared to December 31, 2019, primarily related to positive performance in Atalanta Sosnoff.

Our operating cash flows are primarily influenced by the timing and receipt of investment banking and investment management fees (for further information see COVID-19 below), and the payment of operating expenses, including incentive compensation to our employees and interest expense on our repurchase agreements, Notes Payable and lines of credit, and the payment of income taxes. Investment Banking advisory fees are generally collected within 90 days of billing. However, placement fees may be collected within 180 days of billing, with fees related to private funds capital raising being collected in a period exceeding one year. Commissions earned from our agency trading activities are generally received from our clearing broker within 11 days. Fees from our Wealth Management and Institutional Asset Management businesses are generally billed and collected within 90 days. We traditionally pay a substantial portion of incentive compensation to personnel in the Investment Banking business and to executive officers during the first three months of each calendar year with respect to the prior year's results and prior year's deferred compensation. Likewise, payments to fund investments related to hedging our deferred cash compensation plans are generally funded in the first three months of each calendar year. Our investing and financing cash flows are primarily influenced by activities to invest our cash in highly liquid securities or bank certificates of deposit, deploy capital to fund investments and acquisitions, raise capital through the issuance of stock or debt, repurchase of outstanding Class A Shares, and/or noncontrolling interest in Evercore LP, as well as our other subsidiaries, payment of dividends and other periodic distributions to our stakeholders. We generally make dividend payments and other distributions on a quarterly basis. We periodically draw down on our lines of credit to balance the timing of our operating, investing and financing cash flow needs. A summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows is as follows:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash were $1.16 billion at September 30, 2020, an increase of $514.8 million versus Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash of $643.9 million at December 31, 2019. Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $283.2 million, primarily related to earnings, partially offset by the payment of 2019 bonus awards and deferred cash compensation. Cash of $481.2 million was provided by investing activities primarily related to net proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities and the maturity of certificates of deposit, partially offset by purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements, primarily related to the expansion of our headquarters in New York. Financing activities during the period used cash of $248.4 million, primarily for purchases of treasury stock and the payment of dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders. Cash is also impacted due to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuation when translating non-U.S. currencies to U.S. Dollars.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash were $313.6 million at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $486.5 million versus Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash of $800.1 million at December 31, 2018.

Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $91.0 million, primarily related to earnings, partially offset by the payment of 2018 incentive compensation. Cash of $354.0 million was used in investing activities primarily related to net purchases of investment securities and certificates of deposit and purchases of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements, primarily related to the expansion of our headquarters in New York. Financing activities during the period used cash of $218.6 million, primarily for purchases of treasury stock and noncontrolling interests, the payment of dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interest holders, partially offset by the issuance of the 2019 Private Placement Notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our current assets include Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investment Securities and Certificates of Deposit, Accounts Receivable and contract assets, included in Other Current Assets, relating to Investment Banking and Investment Management revenues. Our current liabilities include accrued expenses, accrued liabilities related to improvements in our leased facilities, accrued employee compensation and short-term borrowings. We traditionally have made payments for employee bonus awards and year-end distributions to partners in the first quarter of the year with respect to the prior year's results. In addition, payments in respect of deferred cash compensation arrangements and related investments are also made in the first quarter. From time to time, advances and/or commitments may also be granted to new employees at or near the date they begin employment, or to existing employees for the purpose of incentive or retention. Cash distributions related to partnership tax allocations are made to the partners of Evercore LP and certain other entities in accordance with our corporate estimated payment calendar; these payments are made prior to the end of each calendar quarter. In addition, dividends on Class A Shares, and related distributions to partners of Evercore LP, are paid when and if declared by the Board of Directors, which is generally quarterly.

We regularly monitor our liquidity position, including cash, other significant working capital, current assets and liabilities, long-term liabilities, lease commitments and related fixed assets, principal investment commitments related to our Investment Management business, dividends on Class A Shares, partnership distributions and other capital transactions, as well as other matters relating to liquidity and compliance with regulatory requirements. Our liquidity is highly dependent on our revenue stream from our operations, principally from our Investment Banking business, which is a function of closing transactions and earning success fees, the timing and realization of which is irregular and dependent upon factors that are not subject to our control. Our revenue stream funds the payment of our expenses, including annual bonus payments, a portion of which are guaranteed, deferred compensation arrangements, interest expense on our repurchase agreements, Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements and income taxes. Payments made for income taxes may be reduced by deductions taken for the increase in tax basis of our investment in Evercore LP. Certain of these tax deductions, when realized, require payment under our long-term liability, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements. We intend to fund these payments from cash and cash equivalents on hand, principally derived from cash flows from operations. These tax deductions, when realized, will result in cash otherwise required to satisfy tax obligations becoming available for other purposes. Our Management Committee meets regularly to monitor our liquidity and cash positions against our short and long-term obligations, as well as our capital requirements and commitments. The result of this review contributes to management's recommendation to the Board of Directors as to the level of quarterly dividend payments, if any.

As a financial services firm, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. Revenue generated by our advisory activities is related to the number and value of the transactions in which we are involved. In addition, revenue related to our equities business is driven by market volumes and institutional investor trends, such as the trend to passive investment strategies. During periods of unfavorable market or economic conditions, the number and value of M&A transactions, as well as market volumes in equities, generally decrease, and they generally increase during periods of favorable market or economic conditions. Restructuring activity generally is counter-cyclical to M&A activity. In addition, during periods of unfavorable market conditions our Investment Management business may be impacted by reduced equity valuations and generate relatively lower revenue because fees we receive, either directly or through our affiliates, typically are in part based on the market value of underlying publicly-traded securities. Our profitability may also be adversely affected by our fixed costs and the possibility that we would be unable to scale back other costs within a time frame and in an amount sufficient to match any decreases in revenue relating to changes in market and economic conditions. Likewise, our liquidity may be adversely impacted by our contractual obligations, including lease obligations. Reduced equity valuations resulting from future adverse economic events and/or market conditions may impact our performance and may result in future net redemptions of AUM from our clients, which would generally result in lower revenues and cash flows. These adverse conditions could also have an impact on our goodwill impairment assessment, which is done annually, as of November 30th, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. For information on the current environment see COVID-19 below.

Table of Contents

Changes in regulation, market structure or business activity arising from the U.K.'s implementation of its separation from the European Union may have a negative impact on our business operations in the U.K., and globally, over the intermediate term. We will continue to monitor and manage the potential implications of the separation, including assessing opportunities that may arise, as the potential impact on the U.K. and European economy becomes more evident.

We assess our equity method investments for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. These circumstances could include unfavorable market conditions or the loss of key personnel of the investee.

COVID-19

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has posed, and is expected to continue posing, significant challenges for our business. Our revenues and cash flows have been adversely impacted to date, although our broad and diverse capabilities, including underwriting, restructuring, capital markets advisory and equity commissions and related fees, have enabled us to predominantly offset weakened M&A activity and offer relevant services to our clients. Our teams, the substantial majority of whom are working remotely, continue to work diligently, though there remains uncertainty as to how the pandemic and government response may impact the markets and our clients' needs in the future. We continue to monitor our cash levels, liquidity, regulatory capital requirements, debt covenants and our other contractual obligations regularly, as well as decisions related to capital projects and returning capital to investors. For a further discussion of risks related to our business, refer to "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Form 10-K and in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2020.

Treasury and Noncontrolling Interest Repurchases

We periodically repurchase Class A Shares and/or LP Units into Treasury in order to offset the dilutive effect of equity awards granted as compensation (see Note 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.) The amount of cash required for these share repurchases is a function of the mix of equity and deferred cash compensation awarded for the annual bonus awards (see further discussion on deferred compensation under Other Commitments below). In addition, we may from time to time, purchase noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries.

On October 23, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized (in addition to the net settlement of equity awards) the repurchase of Class A Shares and/or LP Units so that from that date forward, we are able to repurchase an aggregate of the lesser of $750.0 million worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 8.5 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price, economic and market conditions and the objective to reduce the dilutive effect of equity awards granted as compensation to employees. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased 854,134 Class A Shares, at an average cost per share of $75.93, for $64.9 million pursuant to our repurchase program.

In addition, periodically, we buy shares into treasury from our employees in order to allow them to satisfy their minimum tax requirements for share deliveries under our share equity plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased 1,032,557 Class A Shares, at an average cost per share of $76.18, for $78.6 million primarily related to minimum tax withholding requirements of share deliveries.

The aggregate 1,886,691 Class A Shares repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, were acquired for aggregate purchase consideration of $143.5 million, at an average cost per share of $76.07. For further information see COVID-19 above.

Private Placements

On March 30, 2016, we issued an aggregate $170.0 million of senior notes, including: $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.88% Series A Notes, $67.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.23% Series B Notes, $48.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.48% Series C Notes and $17.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.58% Series D Notes, pursuant to the 2016 Note Purchase Agreement dated as of March 30, 2016, among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

Interest on the 2016 Private Placement Notes is payable semi-annually and the 2016 Private Placement Notes are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. We may, at our option, prepay all, or from time to time any part of, the 2016 Private Placement Notes (without regard to Series), in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Private Placement Notes then outstanding at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus an applicable "make-whole amount." Upon the

Table of Contents

occurrence of a change of control, the holders of the 2016 Private Placement Notes will have the right to require us to prepay the entire unpaid principal amounts held by each holder of the 2016 Private Placement Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the prepayment date. The 2016 Note Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants, including financial covenants requiring compliance with a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum tangible net worth and a minimum interest coverage ratio, and customary events of default. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

On August 1, 2019, we issued $175.0 million and £25.0 million of senior unsecured notes through private placement. These notes reflect a weighted average life of 12 years and a weighted average stated interest rate of 4.26%. These notes include: $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.34% Series E Notes, $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.44% Series F Notes, $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.54% Series G Notes and £25.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.33% Series H Notes, each of which were issued pursuant to the 2019 Note Purchase Agreement, among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

Interest on the 2019 Private Placement Notes is payable semi-annually and the 2019 Private Placement Notes are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. We may, at our option, prepay all, or from time to time any part of, the 2019 Private Placement Notes (without regard to Series), in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Private Placement Notes then outstanding at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus an applicable "make-whole amount." Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the holders of the 2019 Private Placement Notes will have the right to require us to prepay the entire unpaid principal amounts held by each holder of the 2019 Private Placement Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the prepayment date. The 2019 Note Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants, including financial covenants requiring compliance with a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth, and customary events of default. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

Lines of Credit

On June 24, 2016, East entered into a loan agreement with PNC for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million, to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. This facility is secured by East's accounts receivable and the proceeds therefrom, as well as certain assets of EGL, including certain of EGL's accounts receivable. In addition, the agreement contains certain reporting covenants, as well as certain debt covenants that prohibit East and us from incurring other indebtedness, subject to specified exceptions. We and our consolidated subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2020. Drawings under this facility bear interest at the prime rate. On March 11, 2019, East drew down $30.0 million on this facility, which was repaid on May 3, 2019. East amended this facility on October 30, 2020 such that, among other things, the interest rate provisions were modified to LIBOR plus 150 basis points and the maturity date was extended to October 31, 2022.

On July 26, 2019, East entered into an additional loan agreement with PNC for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.0 million, to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. The facility is unsecured. In addition, the agreement contains certain reporting requirements and debt covenants consistent with the Existing PNC Facility. We and our consolidated subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2020. On October 30, 2020, East amended this facility such that, among other things, the revolving credit facility has increased to an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million. Drawings under this facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 180 basis points and the maturity date was extended to October 31, 2022. East is only permitted to borrow under this facility if there is no undrawn availability under the Existing PNC Facility and must repay indebtedness under this facility prior to repaying indebtedness under the Existing PNC Facility. There have been no drawings under this facility as of September 30, 2020.

ECB maintains a line of credit with BBVA Bancomer to fund its trading activities on an intra-day and overnight basis. The facility has a maximum aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 million and is secured by trading securities. No interest is charged on the intra-day facility. The overnight facility is charged the Inter-Bank Balance Interest Rate plus 10 basis points. There have been no significant draw downs on ECB's line of credit since August 10, 2006. The line of credit is renewable annually.

Other Commitments

We have a long-term liability, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements, which requires payments to certain Senior Managing Directors. This liability was re-measured following the decrease in income tax rates in the U.S. in 2018 and future years in conjunction with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017.

We have made certain capital commitments with respect to our investment activities, as well as commitments related to contingent consideration from our acquisitions, which are included in the Contractual Obligations section below.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to deferred compensation and deferred consideration arrangements, we are obligated to make cash payments in future periods. Further, we make investments to hedge the economic risk of the return on deferred compensation. For further information see Notes 7 and 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain of our subsidiaries are regulated entities and are subject to capital requirements. For further information see Note 18 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 1, 2018, we entered into a new lease agreement for office space at our headquarters at 55 East 52nd St., New York, New York, and subsequently entered into an amendment to this lease agreement for additional office space, as well as extending our original commitment, on December 6, 2019. We expect to spend approximately $16 million, net of a tenant improvement allowance, to improve the premises under this lease over the next twelve months. Our work at these premises, which was temporarily suspended at the end of the first quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, resumed in June. For further information see Note 10 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and COVID-19 above.

Collateralized Financing Activity at ECB

ECB enters into repurchase agreements with clients seeking overnight money market returns whereby ECB transfers to the clients Mexican government securities in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. ECB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the securities deliverable to, clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. We account for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions. We record a liability on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. We record as assets on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where we have acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where we have acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities included in Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition have an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 1.2 years, as of September 30, 2020, and are pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements, which are collateralized financing agreements. Generally, collateral is posted equal to the contract value at inception and is subject to market changes. These repurchase agreements are primarily with institutional customer accounts managed by ECB, generally mature within one business day and permit the counterparty to pledge the securities. Increases and decreases in asset and liability levels related to these transactions are a function of growth in ECB's AUM, as well as clients' investment allocations requiring positioning in repurchase transactions.

ECB has procedures in place to monitor the daily risk limits for positions taken, as well as the credit risk based on the collateral pledged under these agreements against their contract value from inception to maturity date. The daily risk measure is VaR, which is a statistical measure, at a 98% confidence level, of the potential daily losses from adverse market movements in an ordinary market environment based on a historical simulation using the prior year's historical data. The Committee has established a policy to maintain VaR at levels below 0.1% of the value of the portfolio. If at any point in time the threshold is exceeded, ECB personnel are alerted by an automated interface with ECB's trading systems and begin to make adjustments in the portfolio in order to mitigate the risk and bring the portfolio in compliance. Concurrently, ECB personnel must notify the Committee of the variance and the actions taken to reduce the exposure to loss.

In addition to monitoring VaR, ECB periodically performs discrete Stress Tests to assure that the level of potential losses that would arise from extreme market movements that may not be anticipated by VaR measures are within acceptable levels. The table below includes a key stress test monitored by the Committee, noted as the sensitivity to a 100 basis point change in interest rates. This analysis assists ECB in understanding the impact of an extreme move in rates, assuring the Collateralized Financing portfolio is structured to maintain risk at an acceptable level, even in extreme circumstances.

The Committee meets monthly to analyze the overall market risk exposure based on positions taken, as well as the credit risk, based on the collateral pledged under these agreements against the contract value from inception to maturity date. In these meetings the Committee evaluates risk from an operating perspective, VaR, and an exceptional perspective, Stress Tests, to determine the appropriate level of risk limits in the current environment.

We periodically assess the collectability or credit quality related to securities purchased under agreements to resell.

Contractual Obligations

For a further discussion of our contractual obligations, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

On July 1, 2018, we entered into a new lease agreement for office space at our headquarters at 55 East 52nd St., New York, New York. Under the terms of the agreement, we committed to extend the lease term for our current space and add space on up to seven additional floors, three of which commenced as of the lease’s effective date. We anticipate we will take possession of the remainder of these floors over the next three years. On December 6, 2019, the lease was modified to add an additional floor and to extend the lease term for all current and prospective space to end on December 31, 2035. When all floors have commenced, we will have approximately 375,000 square feet of space at this location. For further information see Note 10 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We had total commitments (not reflected on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition) relating to future capital contributions to private equity funds of $12.0 million and $13.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We expect to fund these commitments with cash flows from operations. We may be required to fund these commitments at any time through June 2028, depending on the timing and level of investments by our private equity funds.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any leasing activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Market Risk and Credit Risk

We, in general, are not a capital-intensive organization and as such, are not subject to significant market or credit risks. Nevertheless, we have established procedures to assess both the market and credit risk, as well as specific investment risk, exchange rate risk and credit risk related to receivables.

Table of Contents

Market and Investment Risk

We hold equity securities and invest in exchange-traded funds and mutual funds, principally as an economic hedge against our deferred compensation program. As of September 30, 2020, the fair value of our investments with these products, based on closing prices, was $96.1 million.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10%, 20% and 30% adverse change in the market value of the investments would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $9.6 million, $19.2 million and $28.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

In February 2020, we entered into four-month futures contracts on a stock index fund with a notional amount of $38.9 million, as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program. These contracts settled in June 2020. In accordance with ASC 815, these contracts were carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company had realized losses of ($4.0) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

In April 2019, we entered into three-month futures contracts on a stock index fund with a notional amount of $14.8 million for $0.7 million, as an economic hedge against the deferred cash compensation program. These contracts settled in June 2019. In accordance with ASC 815, these contracts are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company had net realized gains of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

See "-Liquidity and Capital Resources" above for a discussion of collateralized financing transactions at ECB.

Private Equity Funds

Through our principal investments in private equity funds and our ability to earn carried interest from these funds, we face exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of the companies in which these funds invest. Valuations and analysis regarding our investments in Trilantic and Glisco are performed by their respective professionals, and thus we are not involved in determining the fair value for the portfolio companies of such funds.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the private equity funds would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Exchange Rate Risk

We have foreign operations, through our subsidiaries and affiliates, primarily in Europe, Asia and Mexico, as well as provide services to clients in other jurisdictions, which creates foreign exchange rate risk. We have not entered into any transactions to hedge our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations in these subsidiaries through the use of derivative instruments or otherwise. An appreciation or depreciation of any of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would result in an adverse or beneficial impact to our financial results. A significant portion of our European, Asian and Latin American revenues and expenses have been, and will continue to be, derived from contracts denominated in foreign currencies (i.e. British Pounds sterling, Euros, Mexican pesos, Brazilian real, among others). Historically, the value of these foreign currencies has fluctuated relative to the U.S. dollar. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net impact of the fluctuation of foreign currencies recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income was ($2.9) million. It is generally not our intention to hedge our foreign currency exposure in these subsidiaries, and we will reevaluate this policy from time to time.

Credit Risks

We maintain cash and cash equivalents, as well as certificates of deposit, with financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, we may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured ("FDIC") limits or enter into sweep arrangements where banks will periodically transfer a portion of our excess cash position to a money market fund. However, we believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions or investment vehicles in which those deposits are held.

Accounts Receivable consists primarily of advisory fees and expense reimbursements billed to our clients. Other Assets includes long-term receivables from fees related to private funds capital raising. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide coverage for probable losses from our customer

Table of Contents

receivables and determine the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the our analysis of historical credit loss experience of our client receivables, and taking into consideration current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Investment Banking and Investment Management receivables collection periods generally are within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and fees related to private funds capital raising, which are collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for restructuring transaction receivables may exceed 90 days. We recorded bad debt expense of approximately $5.9 million and $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, total receivables recorded in Accounts Receivable amounted to $282.4 million and $296.4 million, respectively, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, and total receivables recorded in Other Assets amounted to $63.0 million and $63.6 million, respectively.

Other Current Assets and Other Assets include arrangements in which an estimate of variable consideration has been included in the transaction price and thereby recognized as revenue that precedes the contractual due date (contract assets). As of September 30, 2020, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $19.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $31.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

With respect to our Investment Securities portfolio, which is comprised primarily of highly-rated corporate and municipal bonds, treasury bills, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds and securities investments, we manage our credit risk exposure by limiting concentration risk and maintaining investment grade credit quality. As of September 30, 2020, we had Investment Securities of $100.8 million, of which 5% were treasury bills and notes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and their notes, including reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, which requires credit losses to be based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. See Notes 2 and 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

For a discussion of other recently issued accounting standards and their impact or potential impact on our consolidated financial statements, see Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief 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 (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

We have not made any changes during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or reasonably affect, our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, Mexican, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company's business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings (including the matter described below), individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450, when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

(2)

On October 23, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized (in addition to the net settlement of equity awards) the repurchase of Class A Shares and/or LP Units so that from that date forward, Evercore is able to repurchase an aggregate of the lesser of $750.0 million worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 8.5 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise.
