Catch-up management fees in Carlyle AlpInvest totaled $56 million in FY 2025, an increase of $42 million from FY 2024. These increases were partially offset by the impacts of step-downs in certain products in our Global Private Equity segment. • Investment income, including performance allocations, in FY 2025 primarily reflected accrual of unrealized performance allocations driven by appreciation in our carry fund portfolio, most notably in our U.S. buyout funds, which were positively impacted by market price increases of certain public investments, partially offset by the reversal of unrealized performance allocations driven primarily by the impact of preferred returns in our fifth Asia buyout fund. Investment income, including performance allocations, in FY 2024 primarily reflected accrual of unrealized performance allocations driven by appreciation in our carry fund portfolio, particularly in our U.S. buyout funds. • Net investment gains (losses) of Consolidated Funds in FY 2025 primarily included net realized and unrealized investment gains of approximately $309 million across certain consolidated Carlyle AlpInvest and Global Private Equity funds, partially offset by unrealized investment losses of approximately $178 million related to a consolidated infrastructure fund. • Equity-based compensation decreased in FY 2025 compared to FY 2024, primarily driven by lower amortization on performance-based stock awards, partially offset by awards granted in February 2025. • General, administrative and other expenses ("G&A") in FY 2025 reflected an increase to costs for various legal and other matters, the impact of foreign currency movements, charitable contributions, fundraising costs, and increases to various other operating expenses driven by the growth of the business. 5 (Dollars in millions, except per share amounts) 4Q'24 4Q'25 FY'23 FY'24 FY'25 REVENUES Fund management fees $597.4 $606.8 $2,043.2 $2,188.1 $2,396.6 Incentive fees 37.3 55.4 93.7 133.5 190.5 Investment income (loss), including performance allocations 220.5 1,006.9 44.8 2,254.4 1,341.7 Revenue from Consolidated Funds 121.0 175.5 570.1 631.6 635.3 All other revenues 56.3 56.5 212.1 218.2 215.7 Total Revenues 1,032.5 1,901.1 2,963.9 5,425.8 4,779.8 EXPENSES Cash-based compensation and benefits 239.8 222.2 1,023.7 875.5 895.2 Equity-based compensation 112.8 87.6 249.1 467.9 374.7 Performance allocations and incentive fee related compensation 139.1 645.9 1,103.7 1,361.5 936.3 General, administrative and other expenses 153.4 224.5 652.1 665.6 784.3 Expenses from Consolidated Funds 126.2 162.7 419.1 564.9 624.3 Interest and other non-operating expenses 29.4 38.2 124.0 120.7 123.7 Total Expenses 800.7 1,381.1 3,571.7 4,056.1 3,738.5 Net investment gains (losses) of Consolidated Funds 33.6 (58.2) 6.9 24.0 117.9 Income (loss) before provision for income taxes1 265.4 461.8 (600.9) 1,393.7 1,159.2 Provision (benefit) for income taxes 38.1 116.3 (104.2) 302.6 214.5 Net income (loss) 227.3 345.5 (496.7) 1,091.1 944.7 Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests 16.4 (12.6) 111.7 70.7 136.0 Net income (loss) attributable to The Carlyle Group Inc.

Net realized performance and fee related performance revenues in FY 2023 include a one-time charge of $1.1 billion to unrealized performance allocations and incentive fee related compensation expense related to this compensation realignment. (2) In 2Q'23, Fortitude called the remainder of its March 2022 capital raise, which resulted in a decrease in the Company's indirect ownership of Fortitude from 13.5% to 10.5%. As a result of the dilution, the Company recorded a reduction in the carrying value of its equity method investment and corresponding loss of $104 million. This amount is excluded from the total segment results. (3) Equity-based compensation includes amounts reflected in principal investment income and general, administrative and other expense in our U.S. GAAP statement of operations. (4) Includes charges (credits) related to Carlyle corporate actions and non-recurring items that affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of the Company's operating performance.

The declaration and payment of any dividends to holders of our common stock are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, which may change our dividend policy at any time or from time to time, and the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. There can be no assurance that dividends will be made as intended or at all or that any particular dividend policy will be maintained. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The reasons management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information are set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Notes on Carlyle Consolidated GAAP Results (Page 5) (1) Income (loss) before provision for income taxes is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to Distributable Earnings, which management uses to measure the performance of the business. A full reconciliation is included starting on page 29. (2) Margin on income (loss) before provision for taxes is equal to Income (loss) before provision for income taxes, divided by Total revenues. (3) Net performance revenues are equal to Performance revenues less Performance revenues related compensation expense. Note on Fee Related Earnings (Page 9) (1) FRE Margin is calculated as Fee Related Earnings, divided by Total Segment Fee Revenues. Effective December 31, 2023, we realigned our employee compensation program, which increased the proportion of our accrued performance allocations used to compensate our employees. This led to a lower FRE compensation ratio, which is calculated as total segment cash- based compensation and benefits, divided by total segment fee revenues, and a higher realized performance revenue compensation ratio. Notes on Performance Revenues (Page 10) (1) We generally earn performance revenues (or carried interest) from our carry funds representing a 20% allocation of profits generated on third-party capital, and on which the general partner receives a special residual allocation of income from limited partners, which we refer to as carried interest, in the event that specified investment returns are achieved by the fund. Disclosures referring to carry funds also include the impact of certain commitments that do not earn carried interest, but are either part of or associated with our carry funds. The rate of carried interest, as well as the share of carried interest allocated to Carlyle, may vary across the carry fund platform. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information. A reconciliation of accrued performance allocations to total segment net accrued performance revenues is included on page 33. (2) Includes the change in performance revenue accrual from positive or negative movements in portfolio valuation, incremental preferred return and fees, foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisition/divestiture activity. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information. See page 31 for a reconciliation of performance revenues to realized net performance revenues. Notes on Assets Under Management (Pages 11-13) (1) Total Assets Under Management refers to the assets we manage or advise and reflects the sum of the unrealized Fair Value of Investments and Available Capital. We also include the NGP funds, which are advised by NGP. (2) Available Capital refers to the amount of capital commitments available to be called for investments, which may be reduced for equity invested that is funded via fund credit facility and expected to be called from investors at a later date, plus any additional assets/liabilities at the fund level other than active investments. Amounts previously called may be added back to available capital following certain distributions. (3) Credit (Non-Carry Funds) includes our CLOs, business development companies and related managed accounts, the Carlyle Tactical Private Credit Fund, as well as securitization vehicles and various managed accounts in our Carlyle Aviation business. "Other" includes certain managed account vehicles. Total AUM for Insurance Solutions includes $6 billion related to the investment in Fortitude by Carlyle FRL and third-party strategic investors. Amounts invested in Carlyle products under the strategic advisory services agreement are included in Insurance Solutions AUM as well as in the AUM of the strategy in which they are invested. (4) Performance Fee Eligible AUM represents the AUM of funds for which we are entitled to receive performance allocations, inclusive of the fair value of investments in those funds (which we refer to as "Performance Fee Eligible Fair Value") and their Available Capital. Performance Fee Eligible Fair Value is "Performance Fee Generating" when the associated fund has achieved the specified investment returns required under the terms of the fund's agreement and is accruing performance revenue as of the quarter-end reporting date. Funds whose performance allocations are treated as fee-related performance revenues are excluded from these metrics. (5) The In-Carry Ratio represents Performance Fee-Generating Fair Value divided by Total Performance Fee Eligible Fair Value (as defined above). (6) Fee-earning Assets Under Management refers to the assets we manage or advise from which we derive recurring fund management fees, and is calculated as the basis on which management fees would be called, if called on the effective reporting date. We include Fee-earning AUM on the NGP funds, which are advised by NGP. (7) Pending Fee-earning Assets Under Management refers to commitments that have been raised and will become Fee-earning Assets Under Management upon the activation of recurring fund management fees on the commitments, or as the capital is invested, depending on the fee structure of the fund or vehicle. 36

Perpetual Capital may be materially reduced or terminated under certain conditions, including reductions from changes in valuations and payments to investors, including through elections by investors to redeem their investments, dividend payments, and other payment obligations, as well as the termination of or failure to renew the respective investment advisory agreements. Perpetual Capital includes: (a) assets managed under the strategic advisory services agreement with Fortitude, (b) our Core Plus real estate fund, (c) our business development companies and certain other direct lending products, (d) Carlyle Tactical Private Credit Fund ("CTAC"), (e) our closed-end tender offer Carlyle AlpInvest Private Markets ("CAPM") funds and Carlyle AlpInvest Private Markets Secondaries ("CAPS") funds, and (f) certain other structured credit products. Notes on Key Metrics Activity (Page 14) (1) Inflows include the impact to our AUM of gross fundraising as well as closed reinsurance transactions at Fortitude and corporate acquisitions during the period, if any. (2) Deployment comprises (i) Invested Capital of Carry Funds, (ii) new CLO issuances and incremental capital raised from CLO resets, and (iii) gross originations and other non-carry fund activity. This metric excludes deployment of Fortitude's general account assets covered by the strategic advisory services agreement into third party investments. Notes on Segment Highlights (Page 16-18) (1) Reflects the percentage of Fair Value in our GPE carry funds attributable to investments originated in Q4 2021 or prior. Investments that include follow-on tranches are fully recognized based on the date of the initial investment activity. (2) Insurance Solutions includes $6 billion related to the investment in Fortitude by Carlyle FRL and third-party strategic investors. Amounts invested in Carlyle products under the strategic advisory services agreement are included in Insurance Solutions AUM as well as in the AUM of the strategy in which they are invested. (3) Includes Carlyle AlpInvest Private Markets (CAPM) and Carlyle AlpInvest Private Markets Secondaries (CAPS) funds, Notes on Total AUM and Fee-earning AUM Roll Forwards (Page 22) (1) Inflows generally reflects the impact of gross fundraising, reinsurance and other transactions at Fortitude, and corporate acquisitions during the period, if any. For funds or vehicles denominated in foreign currencies, this reflects translation at the average quarterly rate. (2) Outflows includes distributions net of recallable or recyclable amounts in our carry funds, related co-investment vehicles, and separately managed accounts, gross redemptions in our open-ended funds, runoff of CLO collateral balances and the expiration of available capital. (3) Market Activity & Other generally represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds and related co-investment vehicles, and separately managed accounts, as well as the net impact of fees, expenses and non-investment income, change in gross asset value for our business development companies, changes in the fair value of Fortitude's general account assets covered by the strategic advisory services agreement, and other changes in AUM. (4) Foreign Exchange represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds. Activity during the period is translated at the average rate for the period. Ending balances are translated at the spot rate as of the period end. (5) Inflows represents limited partner capital raised by our carry funds or separately managed accounts for which management fees based on commitments were activated during the period, the fee-earning commitments invested in vehicles for which management fees are based on invested capital, the fee-earning collateral balance of new CLO issuances, reinsurance and other transactions at Fortitude, as well as gross subscriptions in vehicles for which management fees are based on net asset value. Inflows exclude fundraising amounts during the period for which fees have not yet been activated, which are referenced as Pending Fee-earning AUM. (6) Outflows represents the impact of realizations from vehicles with management fees based on remaining invested capital at cost or fair value, changes in basis for funds where the investment period, weighted-average investment period or commitment fee period has expired during the period, reductions for funds that are no longer calling for management fees, gross redemptions in open-ended funds, and runoff of CLO collateral balances. Realizations for funds earning management fees based on commitments during the period do not affect Fee-earning AUM. (7) Market Activity & Other represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments in our carry funds based on the lower of cost or fair value and net asset value, activity of funds with fees based on gross asset value, and changes in the fair value of Fortitude's general account assets covered by the strategic advisory services agreement. (8) Foreign Exchange represents the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our non-U.S. dollar denominated funds. Activity during the period is translated at the average rate for the period. Ending balances are translated at the spot rate as of the period end. Notes on Fund Performance Tables (Pages 23-26) (1) Represents the original cost of investments since inception of the fund. (2) Represents all realized proceeds since inception of the fund. (3) Represents remaining fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, and may include remaining escrow values for realized investments. (4) Multiple of invested capital ("MOIC") represents total fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest, divided by cumulative invested capital. Notes, continued 37

An investment is considered partially realized when the total amount of proceeds received in respect of such investment, including dividends, interest or other distributions and/or return of capital, represents at least 85% of invested capital and such investment is not yet fully realized. Because part of our value creation strategy involves pursuing best exit alternatives, we believe information regarding Realized/ Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR, when considered together with the other investment performance metrics presented, provides investors with meaningful information regarding our investment performance by removing the impact of investments where significant realization activity has not yet occurred. Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR have limitations as measures of investment performance and should not be considered in isolation. Such limitations include the fact that these measures do not include the performance of earlier stage and other investments that do not satisfy the criteria provided above. The exclusion of such investments will have a positive impact on Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR in instances when the MOIC and Gross IRR in respect of such investments are less than the aggregate MOIC and Gross IRR. Our measurements of Realized/Partially Realized MOIC and Gross IRR may not be comparable to those of other companies that use similarly titled measures. (6) Gross Internal Rate of Return ("Gross IRR") represents an annualized return on Limited Partner invested capital, based on contributions, distributions and unrealized fair value as of the reporting date, before the impact of management fees, partnership expenses and carried interest. For fund vintages 2017 and after, Gross IRR includes the impact of interest expense related to the funding of investments on fund lines of credit. Gross IRR is calculated based on the timing of Limited Partner cash flows, which may differ to varying degrees from the timing of actual investment cash flows for the fund. Subtotal Gross IRR aggregations for multiple funds are calculated based on actual cash flow dates for each fund and represent a theoretical time-weighted return for a Limited Partner who invested sequentially in each fund. (7) Net Internal Rate of Return ("Net IRR") represents an annualized return on Limited Partner invested capital, based on contributions, distributions and unrealized fair value as of the reporting date, after the impact of all management fees, partnership expenses and carried interest, including current accruals. Net IRR is calculated based on the timing of Limited Partner cash flows, which may differ to varying degrees from the timing of actual investment cash flows for the fund. Fund level IRRs are based on aggregate Limited Partner cash flows, and this blended return may differ from that of individual Limited Partners. As a result, certain funds may generate accrued performance revenues with a blended Net IRR that is below the preferred return hurdle for that fund. Subtotal Net IRR aggregations for multiple funds are calculated based on actual cash flow dates for each fund and represent a theoretical time- weighted return for a Limited Partner who invested sequentially in each fund. (8) Represents the net accrued performance revenue balance/(giveback obligation) as of the current quarter end. (9) Represents all realized proceeds combined with remaining fair value, before management fees, expenses and carried interest.

(12) For funds marked "NM," IRR may be positive or negative, but is not considered meaningful because of the limited time since initial investment and early stage of capital deployment. For funds marked "Neg," IRR is considered meaningful but is negative as of reporting period end. (13) For purposes of aggregation, funds that report in foreign currency have been converted to U.S. dollars at the reporting period spot rate.

(23) Gross Internal Rate of Return ("Gross IRR") represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on investment contributions, distributions and unrealized value of the underlying investments, before management fees, expenses and carried interest at the AlpInvest level. (24) Includes ASF VIII - SMAs, ACF IX - SMAs, AlpInvest Atom Fund, AlpInvest Atom Fund II, all mezzanine investment portfolios, all 'clean technology' private equity investment portfolios, all strategic portfolio finance SMAs, all AlpInvest senior portfolio lending SMAs, and any state-focused investment mandate portfolios. (25) "ASF" stands for AlpInvest Secondaries Fund, "ACF" stands for AlpInvest Co-Investment Fund, and "SMAs" are Separately Managed Accounts. "ASF - SMAs" and "ACF - SMAs" reflect the aggregated portfolios of investments held by SMAs within the relevant strategy, which invest alongside the relevant ASF or ACF (as applicable). Strategic SMAs reflect the aggregated portfolios of co-investments made by SMAs sourced from the SMA investor's own private equity fund investment portfolio. Other SMAs reflect the aggregated portfolios of investments within the relevant strategy that began making investments in the corresponding time periods. Co-Investments SMAs 2014-2016 does not include two SMAs that started in 2016 but invested a substantial majority alongside ACF VII. These two SMAs have instead been grouped with ACF VII - SMAs. An SMA may pursue multiple investment strategies and make commitments over multiple years. (26) Net Internal Rate of Return ("Net IRR") represents the annualized IRR for the period indicated on Limited Partner invested capital based on investment contributions, distributions and unrealized value of the underlying investments, after management fees, expenses and carried interest. Fund level IRRs are based on aggregate Limited Partner cash flows, and this blended return may differ from that of individual Limited Partners. As a result, certain funds may generate accrued performance revenues with a blended Net IRR that is below the preferred return hurdle for that fund. (27) The fund step-down date represents the contractual step-down date under the respective fund agreements for funds on which the fee basis step-down has not yet occurred. Funds without a listed Fee Initiation Date and Step-down Date have not yet initiated fees. (28) All amounts shown represent total capital commitments as of December 31, 2025. Certain of our recent vintage funds are currently in fundraising and total capital commitments are subject to change. Committed capital for CCOF II excludes $150 million in capital committed by a CCOF II investor to a side vehicle. The CCOF III platform, which includes CCOF III - Levered, CCOF III - Unlevered, and CCOF III PSV, collectively has $5.7 billion of committed capital. (29) Net accrued carry presented excludes net accrued carry retained as part of the sale of Metropolitan Real Estate on April 1, 2021. There was no net accrued carry balance for Metropolitan Real Estate as of December 31, 2025. (30) Funds are included when all investments have been realized. There may be remaining fair value and net accrued carry where there are outstanding escrow balances or undistributed proceeds. Notes on Reconciliation for Distributable Earnings per Share (Page 28) (1) Estimated current corporate, foreign, state and local taxes represents the total U.S. GAAP Provision (benefit) for income taxes adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) applied to Net income (loss) attributable to The Carlyle Group Inc. This adjustment, used to calculate Distributable Earnings, Net attributable to common stockholders, reflects the benefit of deductions available to the Company on certain expense items that are excluded from the underlying calculation of Distributable Earnings, such as equity-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and other charges (credits) related to corporate actions and non-recurring items that affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of the Company's operational performance. Management believes that using the estimated current tax provision (benefit) in this manner more accurately reflects earnings that are available to be distributed to common stockholders. (2) Estimated DE effective tax rate is calculated as the estimated current corporate, foreign, state and local taxes divided by Distributable Earnings. Note on Reconciliation of GAAP to Total Segment Information (Page 31) (1) Adjustments to performance revenues and principal investment income (loss) relate to (i) unrealized performance allocations net of related compensation expense and unrealized principal investment income, which are excluded from the segment results, (ii) amounts earned from the Consolidated Funds, which were eliminated in the U.S. GAAP consolidation but were included in the segment results, (iii) amounts attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidated entities, which were excluded from the segment results, (iv) the reclassification of NGP performance revenues, which are included in principal investment income in U.S. GAAP financial statements, (v) the reclassification of fee related performance revenues, which are included in fund level fee revenues in the segment results, and (vi) the reclassification of tax expenses associated with certain foreign performance revenues. Adjustments to principal investment income (loss) also include the reclassification of earnings for the investments in NGP Management and its affiliates to the appropriate operating captions for the segment results, the exclusion of charges associated with the investment in NGP Management and its affiliates that are excluded from the segment results and the exclusion of the principal investment loss from the dilution of the indirect investment in Fortitude. 39
