(NYSE: EVR) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.<\/p>\n LEADERSHIP COMMENTARY<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n John S. Weinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer<\/b>, “We are pleased with our performance in 2024, as we continue to intensively cover our clients and broaden our coverage. We begin 2025 with strong momentum and we expect the market to continue to gradually improve throughout the year.”<\/p>\n Roger C. Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman<\/b>, “Evercore just had its second strongest year in terms of revenue and has considerable momentum going into 2025. The breadth and competitiveness of the Firm, at least in my view, has never been stronger.”<\/p>\n Evercore’s quarterly results may fluctuate significantly due to the timing and amount of transaction fees earned, as well as other factors. Accordingly, financial results in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results over a longer period of time.<\/i><\/p>\n Business Segments:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Evercore’s business results are categorized into two segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. Investment Banking & Equities includes providing advice to clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic corporate transactions, as well as services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Investment Management includes Wealth Management and interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company, as well as advising third-party investors through affiliates. See pages A-2 to A-8 for further information and reconciliations of these segment results to our U.S. GAAP consolidated results.<\/i><\/p>\n Non-GAAP Measures:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Throughout this release certain information is presented on an adjusted basis, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and then those results are adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of certain Evercore LP Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed adjusted measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore’s results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore’s operating results. Evercore uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.<\/i><\/p>\n In the third quarter of 2024, the Company sold its remaining ownership interest in ABS. The gain on the sale has been excluded from Adjusted Net Revenues.<\/i><\/p>\n In the third quarter of 2024, the Company agreed to the redemption of its interest in Luminis, such that it no longer has an equity interest in Luminis following the redemption. The Company received no consideration in respect of the redemption. As a result, the Company incurred a loss in the third quarter of 2024 associated with the write-off of the remaining carrying value of its investment, included within Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, as well as the release of cumulative foreign exchange losses, included within Other Revenue, net. These charges in 2024 have been excluded from Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc.<\/i><\/p>\n Evercore’s Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024<\/i>were higher than U.S. GAAP as a result of the inclusion of certain Evercore LP Units and Unvested Restricted Stock Units.<\/i><\/p>\n Further details of these adjustments, as well as an explanation of similar amounts for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 are included in pages A-2 to A-8.<\/i><\/p>\n Selected Financial Data \u2013 U.S. GAAP Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n The following is a discussion of Evercore’s consolidated results on a U.S. GAAP basis.

The increase in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher compensation expense related to senior new hires. The Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. Full year Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $317.2 million, or 19%, year-over-year, reflecting a full year compensation ratio of 66.3% versus 68.3% for the prior year period. The increase in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher compensation expense related to senior new hires. The Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. See “Deferred Compensation” for more information.<\/p>\n Non-Compensation Costs <\/i><\/b>\u2013<\/i>Fourth quarter Non-Compensation Costs increased $16.8 million, or 16%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in professional fees and occupancy and equipment rental expense, primarily related to an increase in office space, as well as an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount. The fourth quarter Non-Compensation ratio of 12.7% decreased from 13.6% for the prior year period. The Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. Full year Non-Compensation Costs increased $64.3 million, or 16%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in professional fees and travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount, as well as an increase in communications and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with license fees and research services in 2024. The full year Non-Compensation ratio of 15.8% decreased from 16.8% for the prior year period. The Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period.<\/p>\n Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs <\/i><\/b>\u2013 <\/i>Full year 2024 Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, relate to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of the Company’s investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of the Company’s interest.

The full year effective tax rate was 21.6% versus 22.0% for the prior year period. The effective tax rate is principally impacted by an increase in non-deductible expenses, state and local apportionment adjustments and the deduction associated with the appreciation in the Firm’s share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price. The full year provision for income taxes for 2024 reflects an additional tax benefit of $35.1 million versus $13.7 million for the prior year period, due to the net impact associated with the appreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price.<\/p>\n Selected Financial Data \u2013 Adjusted Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n The following is a discussion of Evercore’s consolidated results on an Adjusted basis.

The increase in adjusted Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher compensation expense related to senior new hires. The adjusted Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. Full year adjusted Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $317.2 million, or 19%, year-over-year, reflecting a full year adjusted compensation ratio of 65.7% versus 67.6% for the prior year period. The increase in adjusted Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher compensation expense related to senior new hires. The adjusted Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. See “Deferred Compensation” for more information.<\/p>\n Non-Compensation Costs <\/i><\/b>\u2013<\/i>Fourth quarter adjusted Non-Compensation Costs increased $16.8 million, or 16%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in professional fees and occupancy and equipment rental expense, primarily related to an increase in office space, as well as an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount. The fourth quarter adjusted Non-Compensation ratio of 12.6% decreased from 13.5% for the prior year period. The adjusted Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. Full year adjusted Non-Compensation Costs increased $64.3 million, or 16%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in professional fees and travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount, as well as an increase in communications and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with license fees and research services in 2024. The full year adjusted Non-Compensation ratio of 15.7% decreased from 16.6% for the prior year period. The adjusted Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period.<\/p>\n Adjusted Effective Tax Rate<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe fourth quarter adjusted effective tax rate was 27.3% versus 25.3% for the prior year period. The full year adjusted effective tax rate was 21.8% versus 23.4% for the prior year period. The adjusted effective tax rate is principally impacted by an increase in non-deductible expenses, state and local apportionment adjustments and the deduction associated with the appreciation in the Firm’s share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price. The full year adjusted provision for income taxes for 2024 reflects an additional tax benefit of $36.6 million versus $14.8 million for the prior year period, due to the net impact associated with the appreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price.<\/p>\n Liquidity<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nThe Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet.
