**Overview**

Evercore is the leading independent investment banking firm in the world based on the dollar volume of announced worldwide merger and acquisition ("M&A") transactions on which we have advised in the last five years<sup>(1)</sup>. When we use the term "independent investment banking firm," we mean an investment banking firm that directly, or through its affiliates, does not engage in commercial banking or significant proprietary trading activities. We were founded on the belief that there is an opportunity within the investment banking industry for a firm free of the potential conflicts of interest created within large, multi-product, capital intensive financial institutions. We believe that maintaining standards of excellence and integrity in our core businesses demands a spirit of cooperation and hands-on participation more commonly found in smaller organizations. Since our inception, we have set out to build—in the employees we choose and in the projects we undertake—an organization dedicated to the highest caliber of professionalism and integrity.

We operate globally through our two business segments: (i) Investment Banking & Equities and (ii) Investment Management.

**Investment Banking & Equities**

Our Investment Banking & Equities segment includes our investment banking business and our equities business. In 2025, our Investment Banking & Equities segment generated $3.69 billion, or 98% of our revenues, excluding Other Revenue, net, ($2.81 billion, or 97%, in 2024 and $2.28 billion, or 97%, in 2023) and earned 806 fees from clients for advisory and underwriting transactions.

As we begin the year in 2026, our Investment Banking & Equities segment has 171 Investment Banking Senior Managing Directors and 39 Equities Senior Managing Directors with expertise and client relationships in a wide variety of industry sectors and a broad geographic reach.<sup>(2)</sup>

***Investment Banking***

Our investment banking business provides strategic advisory, liability management and restructuring, capital markets advisory and private capital advisory and fundraising services. Through this business, we provide clients with differentiated strategic and tactical advice, as well as execution to financial sponsors and both public and private companies across a broad range of industry sectors and geographies. We help our clients identify and pursue strategic priorities, devise strategies to enhance shareholder value, and develop new ideas and deeper perspective to achieve their goals. We also serve as a leading advisor to clients on many of the largest and most complex capital transactions in the global capital markets. Our flexible and integrated teams develop trust with clients by focusing on their objectives. Functionally, we can act as an independent advisor, placement agent, or underwriter based on each client's circumstances and preferences.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Strategic Advisory****.* We provide advisory services on a full range of matters, including mergers, sales, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, joint ventures, strategic, defense and shareholder advisory, divestitures and other tax efficient combinations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Mergers and Acquisitions***. In advising companies on mergers, sales, or acquisitions, we evaluate potential targets and acquirers, provide valuation analyses, and evaluate and propose financial and strategic alternatives. We provide boards, management teams and financial sponsors with independent judgment and deep expertise as they navigate their most important transactions and strategic decisions. We also advise as to the timing, structure, financing and pricing of a proposed transaction, as well as assist in negotiating and closing the deal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Strategic, Defense and Shareholder Advisory***. Our extensive experience, insights into activist tactics, expertise in assisting companies with shareholder engagement and innovative defense strategies are instrumental in helping clients prepare for, avoid, and, if required, defend against activist investors and hostile takeover attempts. In public company situations, our strategic shareholder advice is an integral part of our practice and is a decisive edge for clients seeking to solve complicated issues and obtain shareholder support for their transactions.

**Investment Management**

Our Investment Management segment includes wealth management through Evercore Wealth Management L.L.C. ("EWM") and trust services through Evercore Trust Company, N.A. ("ETC"), as well as private equity through investments in entities that manage private equity funds. In 2025, our Investment Management segment generated revenue of $87.4 million, or 2% of our revenues, excluding Other Revenue, net ($79.6 million, or 3%, in 2024 and $67.0 million, or 3%, in 2023).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***• Evercore Wealth Management and Evercore Trust Company.*** Our U.S.-based Evercore Wealth Management serves high-net-worth individuals, foundations and endowments. Clients at EWM and our affiliated trust company, ETC, work directly with dedicated teams to establish distinctive financial objectives to pursue personal, business and legacy goals. As of December 31, 2025, EWM had $15.5 billion of assets under management ("AUM").

**Our Strategies for Growth**

We intend to continue to grow and diversify our businesses, and to further enhance our profile and competitive position, through the following strategies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Promote, Recruit and Acquire Highly Qualified Professionals in our Investment Banking & Equities segment***. We intend to continue to promote our most talented professionals in the future, as well as to recruit and promote high-caliber strategic corporate, strategic and capital markets advisory and equity research professionals to add depth in industry sectors and products and services in areas that we believe we already have strength, to extend our reach to sectors or new business lines, product capabilities and geographies that we have identified as particularly attractive and to expand and enhance our client base and coverage model. On occasion, additions of professionals may result from the acquisition of boutique independent advisory firms with leading professionals in a market or sector, such as our acquisition of Robey Warshaw, an independent advisory firm headquartered in the United Kingdom, in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ In 2025, 18 Investment Banking Senior Managing Directors (including five Senior Managing Directors from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw) and one Equities Senior Managing Director joined the firm, strengthening our capabilities in Private Capital Markets, Financial Sponsors, Technology, Energy, Industrials and Healthcare sectors, along with our Sales and Research capabilities, and expanding our geographic reach, including into Stockholm, Sweden and Milan, Italy. We also hired four Investment Banking Senior Managing Directors in 2025 committed to join in 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Of equal importance, following our long-term strategy of developing internal talent, we also promoted 11 Investment Banking Managing Directors to Senior Managing Director in 2025. Additionally, in January 2026, we announced the promotion of eight Investment Banking Managing Directors to Senior Managing Director and two Equities Managing Directors to Senior Managing Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Achieve Organic Growth and Improved Profitability in our Investment Management segment***. We are focused on managing our current Investment Management business effectively. We also continue to selectively evaluate opportunities to expand Wealth Management.

**Human Capital Management**

We are a human capital intensive business and our long-term success is dependent on the number, quality and performance of our people. Our key human capital management objectives are to attract, develop, mentor, promote and retain the most talented professionals in our industry. To support these objectives, we invest substantial time and resources toward the recruitment and retention of people who will adhere to our Core Values and improve our business. We also reward and support employees through competitive pay and benefits programs, facilitate the professional development of our employees through our talent development programs, and promote a strong culture throughout our organization.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

With these guiding principles, our Human Capital Group leads our efforts on employee-related matters, including recruiting and hiring, onboarding and training, benefits management, compensation planning, performance management and professional development. Our Board of Directors and its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also provide oversight on certain human capital matters.

Some examples of our programs, initiatives and efforts to attract, develop, mentor, promote and retain the most talented professionals in our industry include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Recruiting:** We continue to strategically invest in our talent base through campus and lateral recruiting as we execute on our long-term growth strategy. Our campus and lateral recruiting organizations take a comprehensive and global approach to sourcing top talent, with a goal of ensuring the Company puts the very best team on the field.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Talent Development:** We view talent development as a key driver of business success.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Our training framework involves comprehensive, targeted development designed to support our employees at every level of their careers, including on-the-job training and mentorship.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Our programs are primarily leadership-led and follow the apprenticeship model. We are proud that more than 90% of our content was taught by our leaders this year, with nearly 130 professionals serving as faculty across various programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ We also engage in a rigorous performance evaluation process designed to provide our employees with the feedback necessary for their professional development.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ We conduct employee surveys and leverage our findings to strengthen our culture and improve employee experiences across the firm.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Health, Safety, Wellness and Benefits:** The success of our business is fundamentally connected to the well-being of our people. Accordingly, we are committed to the health, safety and wellness of our employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ We offer market competitive and comprehensive health and wellness benefits to our employees and their families and continuously explore ways to support their evolving needs. These programs support our employees' physical, mental and financial health by providing tools and resources to help them manage their health. We offer a choice of several options, where possible, so that our employees can customize their benefits to meet their personal needs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Through the EverWELL program, we promote wellness education and encourage our employees to focus on their overall well-being. We offer various resources including on-site vaccinations, on-site health screenings, and in-person and virtual well-being education sessions on financial wellness, healthy lifestyle habits and tools to improve mental resilience.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Compensation Structure:** We have consistently sought to closely align pay with performance. Our compensation structure, including our comprehensive benefits package, is designed to attract, motivate and retain highly talented employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Community:** We measure our success not only by our client work and financial results, but also by our contributions to the communities in which we operate and serve.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ During 2025, the Evercore Foundation contributed to organizations that align with its goal of supporting the education and mental health of children and young adults.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ In addition, through our Evercore Volunteers program, we have continued our firm-wide community service initiatives, which connect our employees with our community partners in order to address immediate needs, support education and improve public spaces.

As of December 31, 2025, we employed approximately 2,570 people (of which approximately 2,100 were employed in Investment Banking & Equities), working in 33 cities around the world. Our global workforce is comprised of approximately 99% full-time and 1% part-time employees. Approximately 1,900 of our employees were employed in the United States (of which approximately 1,400 were employed in Investment Banking & Equities); the remainder were employed outside the United States, primarily in our Investment Banking & Equities segment. We believe our efforts in managing our workforce have been effective, evidenced by our strong culture and talent development.

**Competition**

The financial services industry is intensely competitive, and we expect it to remain so. Our competitors are other investment banking, financial advisory and investment management firms. We compete both globally and on a regional, product or niche basis. We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including transaction execution skills, investment performance, quality of equity research, our range of products and services, innovation, reputation and price.

Our investment banking competitors can generally be categorized into two main groups: (1) large universal banks and bulge bracket firms such as Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and UBS and (2) independent advisory firms such as Centerview, Houlihan Lokey, Lazard, Moelis, Perella Weinberg, PJT Partners and Rothschild, among others. We believe, and our clients have informed us, that advisory firms that also provide acquisition financing, and engage in significant proprietary trading in clients' securities and the management of large private equity funds that often compete with clients can cause such firms to develop interests that may be in conflict with the interests of advisory clients. Since we are able to avoid potential conflicts associated with these types of activities, we believe that we are better able to develop trusted and long-term relationships with our clients than competitors that provide such services. In addition, we have a broader global presence, deeper sector expertise and more diverse capabilities than many of the independent firms. Our equities business is also subject to competition from investment banks and other large and small financial institutions who offer similar services.

We believe that we face a range of competitors in our Investment Management business, with numerous other firms providing competitive services. Evercore Wealth Management competes with domestic and global private banks, regional broker-dealers, independent broker-dealers, registered investment advisors, commercial banks, trust companies and other financial services firms offering wealth management services to clients, many of which have substantially greater resources and offer a broader range of services.

Competition is also intense for the attraction and retention of qualified employees. Our ability to continue to compete effectively in our businesses will depend upon our ability to attract new employees and retain and motivate our existing employees.

**Regulation**

Our business, as well as the financial services industry generally, is subject to extensive regulation in the United States and in the other jurisdictions where we operate. As a matter of public policy, regulatory bodies in the United States and the rest of the world are charged with safeguarding the integrity of the securities and other financial markets and with protecting the interests of customers participating in those markets.

Our operating entities are also subject to regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, as amended (the "Patriot Act") in the United States, which impose obligations regarding the prevention and detection of money-laundering activities, including the establishment of customer due diligence and other compliance policies and procedures. Regulatory authorities are also increasingly focused on cyber security and vendor management. Failure to comply with any legal and regulatory requirements may result in monetary, regulatory and, in certain cases, criminal penalties and significantly harm our reputation.

*United States*

In the United States, the SEC is the federal agency responsible for the administration of the federal securities laws. Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours through which we conduct our U.S. Investment Banking & Equities business, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and is registered as a broker-dealer in various states and the District of Columbia. EGL is subject to regulation and oversight by the SEC. FINRA, a self-regulatory organization that is subject to oversight by the SEC, adopts and enforces rules governing the conduct, and examines the activities, of its member firms, including EGL. The SEC, FINRA, and other regulators in various jurisdictions impose both conduct-based and disclosure-based requirements with respect to our business. State securities regulators and securities exchanges of which EGL is a member also have regulatory or oversight authority over EGL. Our PFG and PCA businesses are also impacted by various state and local regulations that restrict or prohibit the use of placement agents in connection with investments by public pension funds.

Broker-dealers are subject to regulations that cover all aspects of the securities business, including sales methods, trade practices, use and safekeeping of customers' funds and securities, capital structure, record-keeping, the financing of customers' purchases and the conduct and qualifications of directors, officers and employees. For example, as a registered broker-dealer

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

and member of a self-regulatory organization, we are subject to the SEC's uniform net capital rule, Rule 15c3-1. This rule requires notification when net capital falls below certain predefined criteria and imposes other financial and operational constraints which may have the effect of prohibiting a broker-dealer from distributing or withdrawing capital and requiring prior notice to the SEC for certain withdrawals of capital. EGL is also subject to the SEC's Market Access Rule, Rule 15c3-5. The Market Access Rule requires EGL to have controls and procedures in place to limit financial exposure by establishing trading limits for its trading clients and implementing controls to prevent erroneous orders.

Our Investment Management business at EWM, as well as our equity method investment, Atalanta Sosnoff, are registered as investment advisors with the SEC. Registered investment advisors are subject to the requirements and regulations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Such requirements relate to, among other things, fiduciary duties to clients, maintaining an effective compliance program, solicitation agreements, conflicts of interest, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, disclosure requirements, limitations on agency cross and principal transactions between an advisor and advisory clients, state and local political contributions, as well as general anti-fraud prohibitions. EWM is also an investment advisor to a mutual fund, which subjects EWM to additional regulations under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). ETC, which is a national trust bank limited to fiduciary activities, is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to, among other things, the Patriot Act, the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, as amended, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, as amended, other federal banking laws and the state laws in the jurisdictions in which it operates.

*United Kingdom*

*Authorization by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA")*. The FCA is responsible for regulating Evercore Partners International LLP ("Evercore U.K."), our U.K. Advisory affiliate, and Evercore ISI International Limited ("Evercore ISI U.K."), our U.K. Equities affiliate. The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") is the basis for the United Kingdom's ("U.K.") financial services regulatory regime. FSMA is supported by secondary legislation and other rules made under FSMA, including the FCA Handbook of Rules and Guidance. A key FSMA provision is section 19, which contains a "general prohibition" against any person carrying on a "regulated activity" (or purporting to do so) in the U.K., unless they are an authorized or exempt person. It is a criminal offense to breach this general prohibition and certain agreements made in breach may not be enforceable. The "regulated activities" are set out in the FSMA (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (as amended). Evercore U.K. is authorized to carry out regulated activities with non retail clients, including: advising on investments, arranging (bringing about) deals in investments and making arrangements with a view to transactions in investments. Evercore ISI U.K. is also authorized to carry out these activities for non retail clients. As U.K. authorized persons, Evercore U.K. and Evercore ISI U.K. are subject to the FCA's high-level principles for businesses, conduct of business obligations and organizational requirements. The FCA's consumer duty that came into force in July 2023 setting higher level standards for firms under a new FCA principle and rules does not apply to either Evercore U.K. or Evercore ISI U.K. The FCA has extensive powers to supervise and intervene in the affairs of the firms. It can take a range of disciplinary enforcement actions, including public censure, restitution, fines or sanctions and the award of compensation.

FSMA also gives the FCA investigatory and enforcement powers in respect of contraventions of various legacy European Union ("EU") regulations (as implemented into U.K. law following Brexit), including the Market Abuse Regulation, which prohibits insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information and market manipulation.

*Regulatory Capital*. Regulatory capital requirements form an integral part of the FCA's prudential supervision of FCA authorized firms. The regulatory capital rules oblige firms to hold a certain amount of capital at all times (taking into account the particular risks to which the firm may be exposed given its business activities), thereby helping to ensure that firms can meet their liabilities as they fall due and safeguarding their (and their counterparties') financial stability. The FCA also expects firms to take a proactive approach to monitoring and managing risks, consistent with its high-level requirement for firms to have adequate financial resources. As of January 1, 2022, under the U.K. Investment Firm Prudential Regime ("IFPR"), Evercore U.K. and Evercore ISI U.K. are subject to different and higher capital requirements. The basic minimum capital requirement for each firm will be the higher of its permanent minimum requirement of £75.0 thousand (increased from £50.0 thousand) or an amount equal to one quarter of its annual fixed overhead expenses ("Fixed Overhead Requirement"). Both firms must also comply with the basic liquid asset requirement, which is equivalent to one-third of the Fixed Overhead Requirement. Evercore U.K. and Evercore ISI U.K. must further assess whether additional financial resources are needed to mitigate risks faced by the firms and maintain adequate financial resources beyond the basic requirements as necessary.

*Anti-Money Laundering, Counter-Terrorist Financing and Anti-Bribery*. The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, as amended by the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(Amendment) Regulations 2019 (as amended, the "Money Laundering Regulations") implemented the Fourth EU Money Laundering Directive and the Fifth EU Money Laundering Directive. The Money Laundering Regulations are designed to counter money laundering and terrorist financing. The Money Laundering Regulations impose numerous obligations on Evercore U.K. and Evercore ISI U.K. (and other "relevant persons"), including, among other things, obligations to take appropriate steps to assess the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing to which the business is subject and to maintain policies, controls and procedures to mitigate and manage the risks identified in the risk assessment.

The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the Terrorism Act 2000 also contain a number of offenses in relation to money laundering and terrorist financing, respectively. Evercore U.K. and Evercore ISI U.K. (and potentially other Evercore entities with a 'close connection' to the U.K.) are also subject to the U.K. Bribery Act 2010. It provides for criminal penalties for bribery of, or receipt of a bribe from, public officials, corporations and individuals, as well as for the failure of an organization to prevent a person with whom it is associated from providing bribes to secure a business advantage for the organization or a benefit in the conduct of its business.

*Regulatory Framework in the European Union*. The U.K. left the EU on January 31, 2020 and on December 31, 2020, the Brexit transitional period came to an end. The U.K and the EU entered into the U.K. - EU Trade and Co-operation Agreement ("TCA") on December 24, 2020. However, the TCA does not presently make provision for financial services firms in the U.K. to access the EU single market. As a result, U.K. firms, including Evercore U.K. and Evercore ISI U.K., do not hold passporting rights to provide cross-border services into the EU and into a number of other members of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), to the extent such services are regulated activities. Evercore has a German subsidiary, Evercore GmbH ("Evercore Germany"), through which regulated activities can be conducted in Germany and in other EU and EEA jurisdictions on a cross-border basis, subject to certain exceptions and in compliance with applicable legal requirements.

In addition, following the U.K.'s exit from the EU, the provisions of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (together "MiFID") have been on-shored and brought into U.K. law through the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. This provided that EU law directly applicable in the U.K. would form part of U.K. law at the end of the Brexit transitional period and gave powers to the U.K. government to amend this legislation so that it would operate effectively after Brexit. Therefore, Evercore U.K. and Evercore ISI U.K. are subject to broadly the same requirements under the on-shored U.K. MiFID regime, subject to changes put forward in the U.K.'s legislative program.

*Germany*

In Germany, our subsidiary, Evercore Germany, is licensed by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, or "BaFin") to conduct investment advice and investment brokerage activities in Germany. Evercore Germany has passporting rights to provide cross-border services into the EU which are equivalent to those formerly enjoyed by Evercore U.K. Accordingly, Evercore Germany is authorized to provide the aforementioned services across the EU on a cross-border basis or through passporting local branches within the EU. Among other requirements, BaFin requires Evercore Germany, as a regulated entity, to comply with capital, liquidity, governance and business conduct requirements, and has a range of supervisory and disciplinary powers which it is able to use in overseeing the activities of the firm. Being a legally dependent part of Evercore Germany, our branch offices are generally subject to the same regulatory requirements, with the exception that business conduct requirements are governed by the local regulatory regime. This arrangement underscores our strategic approach to leveraging our EU presence, maintaining high standards of regulatory compliance while adapting to the specific requirements of local jurisdictions.

*Hong Kong*

In Hong Kong, the Securities and Futures Commission ("SFC") is responsible for regulating our subsidiary, Evercore Asia Limited ("Evercore Hong Kong"). As the principal regulator of Hong Kong's securities and futures markets, the SFC is responsible for administering the laws and regulations governing the securities and futures markets in Hong Kong, supervising licensed market intermediaries such as Evercore Hong Kong and retains disciplinary, investigatory and enforcement powers in respect of contraventions of laws, regulations as well as other codes and guidelines promulgated by the SFC.

Evercore Hong Kong is licensed with the SFC to conduct certain corporate finance activities and securities dealing and advising activities that are related to corporate finance, and Evercore Hong Kong is required to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations published by the SFC. The compliance requirements of the SFC include, among other things, paid-up share capital, liquid capital, record keeping, data storage, anti-money laundering (including the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Cap. 615)), client classification, conflicts of interest and other conduct of business requirements.

*Singapore*

In Singapore, Evercore Asia (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. maintains a Capital Market Services license issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore ("MAS") for dealing in capital markets products that are securities and collective investment schemes and advising on corporate finance. The compliance requirements of the MAS include anti-money laundering, conduct of business requirements and rules relating to client assets, among other things.

*Dubai International Financial Centre ("DIFC")*

Financial services activities conducted in, or from, the DIFC, a financial free-zone located in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, are regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority ("DFSA") and are subject to regulatory licensing requirements. Evercore Advisory (Middle East) Limited maintains licenses issued by the DFSA for: (i) advising on financial products; (ii) arranging credit and advising on credit; and (iii) arranging deals in investments. The compliance requirements for DFSA licensed entities include, among other things, capital, liquidity, governance, conduct of business requirements and anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and sanctions requirements which apply to all activities conducted by Evercore Advisory (Middle East) Limited in or from the DIFC.

*Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ("KSA")*

Financial services activities conducted in or with persons in the KSA are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the Capital Market Authority (the "CMA") of the KSA. Evercore Arabia Limited ("Evercore KSA") is licensed and regulated by the CMA, maintaining a license to carry out the regulated activity of arranging deals. The compliance requirements of capital market institutions authorized and regulated by the CMA include, among other things, stipulations relating to minimum capital, governance, conduct of business, record-keeping, anti-money laundering, sanctions and terrorist financing, and systems and controls which apply to all activities conducted by Evercore KSA in or from the KSA.

*Canada*

In Canada, our subsidiary, Evercore Partners Canada Ltd. ("Evercore Canada"), is licensed by the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") as an Exempt Market Dealer ("EMD") for dealing in securities that are exempt from registration requirements with permitted clients. The compliance requirements for EMDs include anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing surveillance, sanctions and suspicious activity monitoring, anti-bribery and corruption rules, recordkeeping, and conflicts management.

*General*

Certain of our businesses are subject to compliance with laws and regulations of U.S. federal and state governments, non-U.S. governments, their respective agencies and/or various self-regulatory organizations or exchanges relating to, among other things, the privacy of client information, and any failure to comply with these regulations could expose us to liability and/or reputational damage. Additional legislation, changes in rules promulgated by financial authorities and self-regulatory organizations or changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules, either in the United States or elsewhere, may directly affect our mode of operation and profitability.

The U.S. and non-U.S. government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, are empowered to conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a regulated entity or its directors, officers or employees.

**Risks Related to Our Business**

***Difficult market conditions may adversely affect our business in many ways, including reducing the volume and value of the transactions involving our Investment Banking & Equities business, which may materially reduce our revenue or income.***

As a financial services firm, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions in the U.S. and throughout the world. Financial markets and economic conditions can be negatively impacted by many factors beyond our control, such as the inability to access credit markets, rising interest rates or inflation, the imposition or threatened imposition of tariffs, terrorism, political uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, uncertainty in the federal fiscal or monetary policy of U.S. or foreign governments, an evolving regulatory environment (and the timing and nature of regulatory

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

reform), climate change, extreme weather events or natural disasters, the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyberattacks or campaigns, military conflicts or other geopolitical events. Unfavorable market or economic conditions, as well as volatility in the financial markets, can materially reduce the demand for our services and present challenges.

Revenue generated by our Investment Banking & Equities business is related to the volume and value of the transactions in which we are involved. The majority of our bankers are focused on covering clients in the context of providing M&A services and those activities generate a substantial portion of our revenues. During periods of unfavorable market and economic conditions, our operating results may be adversely affected by a decrease in the volume and value of M&A transactions and increasing price competition among financial services companies seeking advisory engagements. Our clients engaging in M&A transactions often rely on access to the credit and/or capital markets to finance their transactions. The uncertainty of available credit and interest rates and the volatility of the capital markets, and the fact that we do not provide financing or otherwise commit capital to clients, can adversely affect the size, volume, timing and ability of such clients to successfully complete M&A transactions and adversely affect our Investment Banking & Equities business. In addition, our profitability would be adversely affected due to our fixed costs and the possibility that we would be unable to reduce our variable costs without reducing revenue or within a timeframe sufficient to offset any decreases in revenue relating to changes in market and economic conditions.

We also seek to generate greater business from our liability management and restructuring and capital markets services and our Equities business. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to significantly offset lower revenues from a decline in our M&A activities with increased revenues generated from liability management and restructuring and capital markets services or from our Equities business. Our liability management and restructuring services, which provide financial advice and investment banking services to companies in financial transition, as well as to creditors, shareholders and potential acquirers, our capital markets services, which provide corporations and financial sponsors with advice relating to a broad array of financing issues, and our Equities business, which provides equity research and agency securities trading for institutional investors, are smaller than our M&A advisory business and we expect that they will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

Unfavorable market conditions may also lead to a reduction in revenues from our underwriting and placement agent activities, our private funds advisory and private capital markets businesses, and the demand for the research and other services provided by our Equities business could correspondingly decline.

***We depend on our senior professionals, including our executive officers, and the loss of their services could have a material adverse effect on us. If we are unable to successfully identify, hire and retain productive individuals, we may not be able to implement our growth strategy successfully.***

Our growth strategy is based, in part, on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and profitable senior professionals across all of our businesses. Accordingly, our senior professionals' expertise, skill, reputation and relationships with clients and potential clients are critical elements in maintaining and expanding our businesses. For example, our Investment Banking & Equities business is dependent on our senior Investment Banking professionals, senior Equities research analysts, traders and executives. In addition, EWM is dependent on its senior portfolio managers and executives. Our professionals possess substantial experience and expertise and strong client relationships. However, they are not obligated to remain employed with us and the market for qualified professionals is highly competitive. In particular, many of our competitors may be able to offer more attractive compensation packages or broader career opportunities. Due to this competition, we may also face difficulties in, or increases in the cost of, recruiting and retaining professionals of a caliber consistent with our business strategy.

If any of these personnel were to retire, join an existing competitor, form a competing company or otherwise leave us, it could jeopardize our relationships with clients and result in the loss of client engagements and revenues. The departure of a number of senior professionals, including our executive officers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we have entered into restrictive covenant agreements with certain senior professionals, there is no guarantee that these agreements provide sufficient incentives or protections to prevent our professionals from resigning to join our competitors or that the restrictive covenant agreements would be upheld if we were to seek to enforce our rights. Recent regulatory initiatives and state laws have sought to limit the enforceability of such arrangements. For example, several states have enacted or proposed legislation limiting the enforceability of restrictive covenant agreements.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

***Certain aspects of our cost structure are largely fixed, and we may incur costs associated with new or expanded lines of business, or our entry into new geographic regions, prior to these lines of business or regions generating significant revenue. If our revenue declines or fails to increase commensurately with the expenses associated with new or expanded lines of business or regions, our profitability may be materially adversely affected.***

We may incur costs associated with new or expanded lines of business, or our entry into new geographic regions, including guaranteed or fixed compensation costs, prior to these lines of business generating significant revenue. In addition, certain aspects of our cost structure, such as costs for occupancy and equipment rentals, communication and information technology services, and depreciation and amortization are largely fixed, and we may not be able to timely adjust these costs to match fluctuations in revenue. If our revenue declines, or fails to increase commensurately with the expenses associated with new or expanded lines of business or regions, our profitability may be materially adversely affected.

***Our growth has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our administrative, operational and financial resources.***

We have experienced significant growth in the past several years. Supporting this growth has placed significant demands on our operational, legal, regulatory and financial systems and resources for integration, training and business development efforts. We are often required to commit additional resources to maintain appropriate operational, legal, regulatory and financial systems to adequately support expansion, even when we only partner, enter into strategic alliances or take minority stakes in other businesses. We expect our growth to continue, which could place additional demands on our resources and increase our expenses. For example, in recent years we have made significant investments in various enterprise technologies, such as client relationship management, enterprise resource planning and financial planning technology. We cannot provide assurance that our financial controls, the level of knowledge of our personnel, our operational abilities, our legal and compliance controls and our other corporate support systems will be adequate to manage our expanding operations effectively. Any failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to pursue our growth strategy, generate revenue and control expenses, and could result in regulatory fines or sanctions.

***Our revenue and profits are highly volatile, which may make it difficult for us to achieve steady earnings growth on a quarterly basis and may cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline.***

Our revenue and profits are highly volatile, and we can experience significant fluctuations in quarterly results. We generally derive Investment Banking & Equities revenue from engagements that generate significant fees at key transaction milestones, such as closing, and the timing of these milestones is outside of our control. As a result, our financial results will likely fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the timing of when those fees are earned. The loss of even a small number of such fees could have a significant effect on our near term financial results. It may be difficult for us to achieve steady earnings growth on a quarterly basis, which could, in turn, lead to large adverse movements in the price of our Class A common stock or increased volatility in our stock price generally.

We earn a majority of our revenue from advisory engagements, and, in most cases, we are not paid until the successful consummation of the transactions. As a result, our Investment Banking & Equities revenue is highly dependent on market conditions and the decisions and actions of our clients, interested third parties and governmental authorities. For example, a client could delay or terminate an acquisition transaction because of a failure to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, failure to obtain necessary regulatory consents or board or stockholder approvals, failure to secure necessary financing, adverse market conditions or because the target's business is experiencing unexpected operating or financial problems. Anticipated bidders for assets of a client during a liability management and restructuring transaction may not materialize or our client may not be able to restructure its operations or indebtedness due to a failure to reach agreement with its principal creditors. In these circumstances, we often do not receive any advisory fees other than the reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses, despite the fact that we have devoted considerable resources to these transactions.

***Our failure to deal appropriately with actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest could damage our reputation and materially adversely affect our business.***

As we have expanded the scope of our businesses and client base, we increasingly confront actual, potential and perceived conflicts of interest relating to our Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management businesses. It is possible that actual, potential or perceived conflicts could give rise to client dissatisfaction, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. Appropriately identifying and managing actual or perceived conflicts of interest is complex and difficult, and our reputation could be damaged if we fail, or appear to fail, to deal appropriately with one or more potential or actual conflicts of interest. Regulatory scrutiny of, or litigation in connection with, conflicts of interest would have a material adverse effect on our

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

reputation which would materially adversely affect our business in a number of ways, including an inability to recruit additional professionals and a reluctance of potential clients and counterparties to do business with us. Additionally, client-imposed conflicts requirements could place additional limitations on us, for example, by limiting our ability to accept advisory engagements.

Policies, controls and procedures that we may be required to implement to address additional regulatory requirements, including as a result of additional foreign jurisdictions in which we operate, our equities business and our underwriting activities, or to mitigate actual or potential conflicts of interest, may result in increased costs, including for additional personnel and infrastructure and information technology improvements, as well as limit our activities and reduce the benefit of positive synergies that we seek to cultivate across our businesses. For example, due to our equity research activities through our equities business, we face potential conflicts of interest, including situations where our publication of research may conflict with the interests of an advisory client, or allegations that research objectivity is being inappropriately impacted by advisory client considerations.

***Employee misconduct, which is difficult to detect and deter, could harm us by impairing our ability to attract and retain clients while subjecting us to significant legal liability and reputational harm.***

There is a risk that our employees could engage in fraud or misconduct that adversely affects our business. Our Investment Banking & Equities business often requires that we deal with confidential matters of great significance to our clients. If our employees were to improperly use or disclose confidential information provided by our clients or other confidential information, we could be subject to investigations, actions and sanctions by regulators and enforcement agencies and suffer serious harm to our reputation, financial position, current client relationships and ability to attract future clients and employees. We are also subject to a number of obligations and standards arising from our Investment Management business and our authority over the assets managed by our Investment Management business. The violation of these obligations and standards by any of our employees would adversely affect our clients and us. It is not always possible to deter employee misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in all cases. If our employees engage in misconduct, our business may be adversely affected.

In addition, the U.S. regulators and enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC, continue to focus on anti-money laundering laws and anti-corruption laws, and the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions have significantly expanded the reach of their anti-bribery laws. While we have developed and implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure strict compliance with anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, anti-corruption and other laws, such policies and procedures may not be effective in all instances to prevent violations. Any determination that any of our employees have violated these laws (or similar laws of other jurisdictions in which we do business) could subject us to, among other things, civil and criminal penalties, material fines, profit disgorgement, injunction on future conduct, securities litigation and reputational damage, any one of which could adversely affect our business, financial position or results of operations.

***The financial services industry faces substantial litigation and regulatory risks, and we may face damage to our professional reputation and legal liability.***

Allegations against us of improper conduct by private litigants or regulators, whether the ultimate outcome is favorable or unfavorable to us, as well as negative publicity and press speculation about us, whether or not valid, may harm our reputation. Moreover, our role as advisor to our clients on important mergers and acquisitions or liability management and restructuring transactions often involves complex analysis and the exercise of professional judgment, including, in certain circumstances, rendering fairness opinions in connection with mergers and other transactions.

Particularly in highly volatile markets, the volume of claims and amount of damages claimed in litigation and regulatory proceedings against financial advisors and underwriters can be significant. Our business is also subject to regulation in the countries in which it operates. As this regulatory environment continues to change (in some cases potentially significantly) it is difficult to assess future litigation and regulatory risks. Regulatory changes make it harder for our clients to estimate future potential losses that may be incurred. Our advisory and underwriting activities may subject us to the risk of significant legal liability to our clients and third parties, including our clients' stockholders, under securities or other laws for materially false or misleading statements made in connection with securities and other transactions and potential liability for the fairness opinions and other advice provided to participants in corporate transactions. In addition, a portion of our advisory fees are obtained from liability management and restructuring clients, and often these clients do not have sufficient resources to indemnify us for costs and expenses associated with third-party subpoenas and direct claims, to the extent such claims are not barred as part of the reorganization process. Our engagements typically include broad indemnities from our clients and provisions designed to limit our exposure to legal claims relating to our services, but these provisions may not protect us or may not be adhered to in all

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

cases. These indemnities also are dependent on our client's capacity to pay the amounts claimed. As a result, we may incur significant legal expenses in defending against litigation. In our Investment Management business, we make investment decisions on behalf of our clients that could result in substantial losses. This also may subject us to the risk of legal liability or actions alleging negligent misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty or breach of contract. These risks often may be difficult to assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude often remain unknown for substantial periods of time. Substantial legal liability or legal expenses incurred in defending against litigation could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity or cause significant reputational harm to us, which could seriously harm our business.

***We may face damage to our professional reputation if our services are not regarded as satisfactory or for other reasons.***

As a financial services firm, we depend to a large extent on our relationships with our clients and our reputation for integrity and high-caliber professional services to attract and retain clients and talent. As a result, if a client is not satisfied with our services, it may be more damaging to our business than in other businesses. Our reputation could be impacted by events that may be difficult or impossible to control, and costly or impossible to remediate. For example, alleged or actual failures by us or our employees to provide satisfactory services or to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations, errors in our public reports, perceptions of our environmental, social and governance practices or business selection (including client selection), or the public announcement and potential publicity surrounding any of these events, even if inaccurate, satisfactorily addressed, or even if no violation or wrongdoing actually occurred, could adversely impact our reputation, our relationships with clients, our ability to negotiate joint ventures and strategic alliances, and our ability to attract and retain talent, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

***Extensive and evolving regulation of our businesses exposes us to the potential for significant penalties and fines due to compliance failures, increases our costs and limits our ability to engage in certain activities.***

As a participant in the financial services industry, we are subject to extensive and evolving regulation by governmental and self-regulatory organizations in jurisdictions around the world, as described further in Item 1. "Business – Regulation" above. Our ability to conduct business and our operating results, including compliance costs, may be adversely affected as a result of any new requirements imposed by the SEC, FINRA, or other U.S. or foreign governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that regulate the financial services industry. We may also be adversely affected by changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws or regulations by these governmental authorities and self-regulatory organizations. Uncertainty about the timing and scope of any changes to existing laws and rules or the implementation of new laws or rules by any regulatory authorities that regulate financial services firms or supervise financial markets, as well as the compliance costs associated with a new regulatory regime, may negatively impact our businesses in the short term, even if the long-term impact of any such changes is positive for our businesses. In addition, policies adopted by clients or prospective clients, which may exceed regulatory requirements, may result in additional compliance costs that materially affect our business. Because certain of our larger competitors are subject to regulations that do not affect us to the same extent, or at all, regulatory reforms may benefit them more than us, including by expanding their permitted activities, reducing their compliance costs or reducing restraints on compensation, any of which could enhance their ability to compete against us for advisory opportunities, for employees or otherwise, in a manner that negatively impacts our business.

Our and our employees' failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations could result in adverse publicity and reputational harm, as well as fines, suspensions of personnel or other sanctions, including revocation of the registration of us or any of our subsidiaries as an investment advisor or broker-dealer. For example, we are subject to extensive bribery and anti-corruption regulation, which can present heightened risks for us due to certain jurisdictions in which we operate and our significant client relationships with governmental entities and certain businesses that receive support from government agencies. Our businesses are subject to periodic examination by various regulatory authorities, and we cannot predict the outcome of any such examinations or estimate the amount of monetary fines or penalties that could be assessed. In addition, adverse regulatory scrutiny of any of our strategic partners could have a material adverse effect on our business and reputation.

***Our business is subject to various cybersecurity risks.***

We face various cybersecurity risks related to our businesses on a day-to-day basis. We rely heavily on financial, accounting, communication and other data processing systems to securely process, transmit, and store sensitive and confidential client information, and communicate among our locations around the world and with our staff, clients, partners, and vendors. We also depend on third-party software and programs, as well as cloud-based storage platforms as part of our operations. These systems, including the systems of third parties on whom we rely, may fail to operate properly or become disabled as a result of tampering or a breach of our network security systems or otherwise, including for reasons beyond our, or their, control. In

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

addition, we are also exposed to fourth-party cybersecurity risk from vendors, suppliers or attackers of our third-party vendors. The increased use of mobile technologies, artificial intelligence and remote working arrangements heighten these and other operational risks.

In addition, as we operate in a financial services industry, we are susceptible to attempts to gain unauthorized access of client, customer or other confidential information. We are also at risk for denial-of-service, distributed denial-of-service and/or other cyber-attacks involving the theft, dissemination and destruction of corporate information or other assets, which could result from an employee's, contractor's or other third party vendor's failure to follow data security procedures or as a result of actions by third parties, including actions by governments. These risks may be exacerbated by the use of artificial intelligence. Phishing attacks and email spoofing attacks are becoming more prevalent and are often used to obtain information to impersonate employees or clients in order to, among other things, direct fraudulent bank transfers or obtain valuable information. Fraudulent transfers resulting from phishing attacks or email spoofing of our employees could result in a material loss of assets, reputational harm or legal liability, and in turn materially adversely affect our business. Although cyber-attacks have not, to date, had a material impact on our operations, breaches of our, or third-party, network security systems on which we rely could involve attacks that are intended to obtain unauthorized access to and disclose our proprietary information or our client's proprietary information, destroy data or disable, degrade or sabotage our systems, often through the introduction of computer viruses, cyber-attacks and other means, and could originate from a wide variety of sources, including state actors or other unknown third parties outside the firm.

There can be no assurance that we, or the third parties on whom we rely, will be able to anticipate, detect or implement effective preventative measures against frequently changing cyber threats. We expect to incur significant costs in maintaining and enhancing appropriate protections to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated methods of attack. In addition to the implementation of data security measures, we require our employees to maintain the confidentiality of the proprietary information we hold. If an employee's failure to follow proper data security procedures results in the improper release of confidential information, or our systems are otherwise compromised, do not operate properly or are disabled, we could suffer a disruption of our business, financial losses, liability to clients, regulatory sanctions and damage to our reputation. See Item 1C. "Cybersecurity" for further information regarding our cybersecurity practices, policies and procedures.

***We are exposed to risks and costs associated with protecting the integrity and security of our clients', employees' and others' personal data and other sensitive information.***

As part of our business, we manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential client or employee data, including personal data. As a result, we are subject to various risks and costs associated with the collection, handling, storage and transmission of personal data, including those related to compliance with U.S. and foreign data protection and privacy laws and other contractual obligations, as well as those associated with the compromise of our systems collecting such personal data. These laws and regulations are increasing in complexity and number and the burden of our compliance with them is growing. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), which applies across the EU and the U.K., imposes stringent requirements regarding the processing of personal data. Failure to meet the GDPR requirements could, in serious cases, result in penalties of up to four percent of annual worldwide revenue turnover. Several other jurisdictions, including in the United States, have also adopted or are considering similar legislation. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act provides data privacy rights for consumers and privacy related operational requirements for companies and similar data privacy laws have been enacted in other states, which may increase our compliance costs.

If any person, including any of our employees, negligently disregards or intentionally breaches our established controls with respect to client or employee data, or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates that data, we could be subject to significant monetary damages, regulatory enforcement actions, fines and/or criminal prosecution. In addition, unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or employee data, whether through cyber-attacks, systems failure, employee negligence, fraud or misappropriation, could damage our reputation and cause us to lose clients and related revenue in the future. Potential liability in the event of a security breach of client data could be significant and depending on the circumstances giving rise to the breach, this liability may not be subject to a contractual limit of liability or an exclusion of consequential or indirect damages.

Any failure to comply with these regulations could expose us to liability and/or reputational damage. In addition, our businesses are increasingly subject to laws and regulations relating to surveillance, encryption and data on-shoring in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to change our policies, procedures and technology for information security, which could, among other things, make us more vulnerable to cyber-attacks and misappropriation, corruption or loss of information or technology.

***Our business is subject to various operational risks.***

We operate in businesses that are highly dependent on proper processing of financial transactions. In our Equities business, and our Wealth Management business in particular, we must consistently and reliably obtain securities pricing information, properly execute and process client transactions and provide reports and other customer service to our clients. Our trading activities present opportunities for trade errors and other operational errors in connection with the processing of transactions. The occurrence of trade or other operational errors or the failure to keep accurate books and records can render us liable to disciplinary action by governmental and self-regulatory authorities, as well as to claims by our clients. We also rely on third-party service providers for certain aspects of our business. Any interruption or deterioration in the performance of these third parties or failures of their information systems and technology could impair our operations, affect our reputation and adversely affect our businesses.

In addition, if we were to experience a disaster or other business continuity problem, such as an epidemic, a pandemic, other man-made or natural disaster or disruption involving electronic communications or other services used by us or third parties with whom we conduct business, our continued success will depend, in part, on the availability of our personnel and office facilities and the proper functioning of our computer, software, telecommunications, transaction processing and other related systems and operations, as well as those of third parties on whom we rely. Although in the past we have been able to continue business operations through disruptions, we cannot guarantee in the future that similar events will not result in a material disruption to our business that may cause material financial loss, regulatory action, reputation harm or legal liability, and if significant portions of our workforce, including key personnel, are unable to work effectively because of illness, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with a pandemic, the impact of a pandemic on our business could be exacerbated. In particular, we depend on our headquarters in New York City, where a large number of our personnel are located, for the continued operation of our business. Although we have developed business continuity plans and enhanced our remote working capabilities, a disaster or a disruption in the infrastructure that supports our businesses, a disruption involving electronic communications or other services used by us or third parties with whom we conduct business, or a disruption that directly affects our headquarters, could have a material adverse impact on our ability to continue to operate our business without interruption. The incidence and severity of disasters or other business continuity problems are unpredictable, and our inability to timely and successfully recover could materially disrupt our businesses and cause material financial loss, regulatory actions, reputational harm or legal liability.

***We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness.***

Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance, our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance. We cannot provide assurance that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal of, and interest on, our indebtedness, including our senior notes (the "Private Placement Notes") described in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements and other indebtedness. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, including the principal and semi-annual interest payments noted above, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the Private Placement Notes and other contractual commitments.

***Our clients may be unable to pay us for our services.***

We face the risk that certain clients may not have sufficient financial resources to pay, or otherwise refuse to pay, our agreed-upon advisory fees, including in the bankruptcy or insolvency context. If a client's financial difficulties become severe, the client may be unwilling or unable to pay our invoices in the ordinary course of business, which could adversely affect collections of both our accounts receivable and unbilled services. On occasion, some of our clients have entered bankruptcy, which has prevented us from collecting amounts owed to us. The bankruptcy of a number of our clients that, in the aggregate, owe us substantial accounts receivable could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if a number of clients declare bankruptcy after paying us certain invoices, courts may determine that we are not properly entitled to those payments and may require repayment of some or all of the amounts we received, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Certain clients may also be unwilling to pay our advisory fees in whole or in part, in which case we may have to incur significant costs to bring legal action to enforce our engagement agreements to obtain our advisory fees.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

***Goodwill, other intangible assets, equity method investments and other investments represent a portion of our assets, and an impairment of these assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.***

Goodwill, other intangible assets, equity method investments and other investments represent a portion of our assets. We assess these assets at least annually for impairment, however, we may need to perform impairment tests more frequently if events or circumstances occur, that indicate the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, attrition of key personnel, a prolonged decline in our stock price and market capitalization, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of one of our businesses and other factors. The valuation of our reporting units, long-lived intangible assets, equity method investments or other investments requires judgment in estimating future cash flows, discount rates and other factors. In making these judgments, we evaluate the financial health of our reporting units, long-lived intangible assets, equity method investments or other investments, including such factors as market performance, changes in our client base and projected growth rates. Because these factors are ever changing, due to market and general business conditions, we cannot predict whether, and to what extent, our goodwill, long-lived intangible assets, equity method investments and other investments may be impaired in future periods.

***Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could materially adversely affect our business.***

We have documented and tested our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors regarding our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able or willing to issue an unqualified report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Matters impacting our internal controls may cause us to be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis and thereby subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions by the SEC, or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements is also likely to suffer if we identify a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect us and lead to a decline in the market price of our shares.

***A change in relevant tax laws, regulations or treaties or an adverse interpretation of these items by tax authorities could result in an audit adjustment to tax-related liabilities, or revaluation of our net deferred tax assets that may cause our effective tax rate and/or and tax liabilities to be higher than what is currently presented in the consolidated financial statements.***

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income and other taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for these taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. In some cases, this process requires us to estimate our actual current tax liability and to assess temporary differences resulting from differing book versus tax treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, compensation and benefits expense, unrealized gains and losses on long-term investments and depreciation. Our effective tax rate and tax liabilities are based on the application of current tax laws, regulations and treaties. These laws, regulations and treaties are complex, and the manner in which they apply to our facts and circumstances can be open to interpretation. Management believes its application of current laws, regulations and treaties to be correct and sustainable upon examination by the tax authorities. However, the tax authorities could challenge our interpretation, resulting in additional tax liability or adjustment to our tax provision that could increase our effective tax rate or tax-related liabilities. For example, a recent interpretation reached by a judicial authority has challenged the employment tax treatment of partnership members. While that challenge remains subject to a judicial review process, and we and our subsidiaries are not a party to the proceedings, the ultimate outcome may impact our tax position. In addition, tax laws, regulations or treaties newly enacted or enacted in the future, or interpretations of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or other tax laws, may cause us to revalue our net deferred tax assets and have a material change to our effective tax rate.

***Our inability to successfully identify, consummate and integrate acquisitions and/or alliances, including through joint ventures or investments, as part of our growth initiatives could have adverse consequences to our business.***

We may expand our various businesses through additional acquisitions, entering into joint ventures and strategic alliances, and internally developing new opportunities that are complementary to our existing businesses and where we think we can add substantial value or generate substantial returns. For example, in 2025, we completed the acquisition of Robey Warshaw, an

independent advisory firm headquartered in the United Kingdom. The success of this strategy will depend on, among other things, the availability of suitable opportunities and capital resources to effect our strategy; the level of competition from other companies that may have greater financial resources than we do or may not require the same level of disclosure of these activities; our ability to value acquisition and investment candidates accurately and negotiate acceptable terms for those acquisitions and investments; and our ability to identify and enter into mutually beneficial relationships with joint venture partners.

Additionally, integrating acquired businesses, providing a platform for new businesses and partnering with other firms involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial, operational and reputational challenges, including the following factors, among others: loss of key employees or customers; possible inconsistencies in or conflicts between standards, controls, procedures and policies and the need to implement company-wide financial, accounting, information technology and other systems; failure to maintain the quality of services that have historically been provided; failure to coordinate geographically diverse organizations; disagreements between us and our partners; compliance with regulatory requirements in regions in which new businesses and ventures are located; and the diversion of management's attention from our day-to-day business as a result of the need to manage any disruptions and difficulties and the need to add management resources to do so. Our inability to develop, integrate and manage acquired companies, joint ventures or other strategic relationships and growth initiatives in an efficient and cost-effective manner, or at all, could have material adverse short- and long-term effects on our operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

***We may not realize the cost savings, revenue enhancements or other benefits that we expected from our growth initiatives.***

Our analyses of the benefits and costs of expanding our businesses necessarily involve assumptions as to future events, including general business and industry conditions, the longevity of specific customer engagements and relationships, operating costs and competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control and may not materialize. While we believe our analyses and their underlying assumptions to be reasonable, they are estimates that are necessarily speculative in nature. In addition, new regulatory requirements and conflicts may reduce the synergies that we expect to result from our growth initiatives. Even if we achieve the expected benefits, we may not be able to achieve them within the anticipated time frame. Also, the cost savings and other synergies from these growth initiatives may be offset by costs incurred in integrating the companies, increases in other expenses or problems in the business unrelated to these growth initiatives. In the case of joint ventures, we are subject to additional risks and uncertainties in that we may be dependent upon, and subject to liability, losses or reputational damage relating to personnel, systems and activities that are not under our direct and sole control, and conflicts and disagreements between us and our joint venture partners may negatively impact our business.

**Risks Related to Our Investment Banking & Equities Business**

***A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from advisory assignments for Investment Banking & Equities clients, which are not long-term contracted sources of revenue and are subject to intense competition, and declines in these engagements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.***

We historically have earned a substantial portion of our revenue from fees paid to us by our Investment Banking & Equities clients for advisory and underwriting services. These fees are typically payable upon the successful completion of a particular transaction or restructuring. Our Advisory Fees and Underwriting Fees in the aggregate accounted for 91%, 90% and 88% of our revenues, excluding Other Revenue, net, in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We expect that we will continue to rely on advisory services for a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, a decline in advisory engagements, or the market for advisory services, would adversely affect our business.

In addition, our Advisory professionals operate in a highly-competitive environment where typically there are no long-term contracted sources of revenue. Each revenue-generating engagement typically is separately solicited, awarded and negotiated. In addition, many businesses do not routinely engage in transactions requiring our services. As a consequence, our fee-paying engagements with many clients are not likely to be predictable and high levels of revenue in one quarter are not necessarily predictive of continued high levels of revenue in future periods. We also lose clients each year as a result of the sale or merger of a client, a change in a client's senior management, competition from other financial advisors and financial institutions and other causes. As a result, our advisory fees could decline materially due to such changes in the volume, nature and scope of our engagements.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

***We face strong competition from other financial advisory firms, many of which have the ability to offer clients a wider range of products and services than we can offer, which could cause us to fail to win advisory mandates and subject us to pricing pressures that could materially adversely affect our revenue and profitability.***

The financial advisory industry is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change, and we expect it to remain so. We compete on both a global and regional basis, and on the basis of a number of factors, including the quality of our employees, industry knowledge, transaction execution skills, our products and services, innovation, reputation, strength of relationships and price. We have experienced intense competition for advisory mandates in recent years, and we may experience pricing pressures in our Investment Banking & Equities business in the future, as some of our competitors seek to obtain increased market share by reducing fees. When making proposals for fixed-fee engagements, we estimate the costs and timing for completing the engagements. These estimates reflect our best judgment regarding the efficiencies of our methodologies and financial professionals as we plan to deploy them on engagements. Any unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of such engagements could make these contracts less profitable, or unprofitable, which would have an adverse effect on our profit margins.

Several of our competitors include large financial institutions, many of which have far greater financial and other resources and greater name recognition than us and, unlike us, have the ability to offer a wider range of products, which may enhance their competitive position. They also regularly support services we do not provide, such as commercial lending and other financial services and products, which puts us at a competitive disadvantage and could result in pricing pressures or lost opportunities, which could materially adversely affect our revenue and profitability. In addition, we may be at a competitive disadvantage with regard to certain of our competitors who have larger customer bases, have more professionals to serve their clients' needs and are able to provide financing or otherwise commit capital to clients that are often a crucial component of the Investment Banking & Equities transactions on which we advise.

In addition to our larger competitors, we face competition from a number of independent investment banks that offer only independent advisory services, which stress their lack of other businesses as a competitive advantage. As these independent firms or new entrants into the market seek to gain market share, there could be additional pricing and competitive pressures, which may impact our ability to implement our growth strategy and ultimately materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

***Our Equities business relies on non-affiliated third-party service providers.***

Our Equities business has entered into service agreements with third-party service providers for order management, trade execution, settlement and clearance of client securities transactions and research distribution. This business faces the risk of operational failure of any of the vendors we use to facilitate our securities transactions or research distribution. Our senior management and officers oversee and manage these relationships. Poor oversight and control or inferior performance or service on the part of the service provider could result in loss of customers and violations of applicable rules and regulations. Any such failure could adversely affect our ability to effect transactions and to manage our exposure to risk.

***Underwriting and trading activities expose us to risks.***

We may incur losses and be subject to reputational harm to the extent that, for any reason, we are unable to sell securities we purchased as an underwriter at the anticipated price levels. As an underwriter, we also are subject to liability for material misstatements or omissions in prospectuses and other offering documents relating to offerings we underwrite. In such cases, any indemnification provisions in the applicable underwriting agreement may not be enforceable or available to us, for example, if the client is not financially able to satisfy its indemnification obligations in whole, or part, or the scope of the indemnity is not sufficient to protect us against financial or reputational losses arising from such liability. In addition, the associated litigation process can place operational strain on our business.

Further, as customer trading activities expose us to potential losses, we may have to purchase or sell securities at prevailing market prices in the event a customer fails to settle a trade on its original terms. We seek to manage the risks associated with customer trading activities through customer screening, internal review and trading policies and procedures, but such policies and procedures may not be effective in all cases.

***If the number of debt defaults or bankruptcies declines or other factors affect the demand for our liability management and restructuring services, our liability management and restructuring revenue could be adversely affected.***

We provide financial advice and investment banking services to companies in financial transition, as well as to creditors, shareholders and potential acquirers of such companies. Our services may include reviewing and analyzing the business, financial condition and prospects of the company or providing advice on strategic transactions, capital raising or liability management and restructurings. We also may provide advisory services to companies that have sought, or are planning to seek, protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or other similar processes in non-U.S. jurisdictions. A number of factors affect demand for these advisory services, including general economic conditions, the availability and cost of debt and equity financing, governmental policy and changes to laws, rules and regulations, including those that protect creditors. In addition, providing liability management and restructuring advisory services entails the risk that the transaction will be unsuccessful, or take considerable time, and be subject to a bankruptcy court's authority to disallow or discount our fees. If the number of debt defaults or bankruptcies declines, or other factors affect the demand for our liability management and restructuring advisory services, our liability management and restructuring business would be adversely affected.

**Risks Relating to Our Investment Management Business**

***The amount and mix of our AUM are subject to significant fluctuations.***

The revenues and profitability of our Wealth Management business are derived from providing investment management and related services. The level of our revenues depends largely on the level and mix of AUM. Fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM may be attributable, in part, to market conditions outside of our control that have had, and in the future could have, a negative impact on our revenues and income. Any decrease in the value or amount of our AUM because of market volatility or other factors negatively impacts our revenues and income. We are subject to an increased risk of asset volatility from changes in the global financial and equity markets. Global economic conditions, exacerbated by war or terrorism, health emergencies or financial crises, changes in the equity marketplace, trade disputes, restrictions on travel, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, interest rates, inflation rates, the yield curve, and other factors that are difficult to predict affect the mix, market values and levels of our AUM. Moreover, changing market conditions may cause a shift in our asset mix between international and U.S. assets, potentially resulting in a decline in our revenue and income depending upon the nature of our AUM and the level of management fees we earn based on them. Additionally, changing market conditions may cause a shift in our asset mix towards fixed-income products and a related decline in our revenue and income, as in the U.S. we generally derive higher fee revenues and income from equity assets than from fixed-income products we manage.

***If the funds we manage or invest in perform poorly, we will suffer a decline in our investment management revenue and earnings, and our Investment Management business may be adversely affected.***

Revenue from our Wealth Management business is derived from fees earned for the management of client assets, generally based on the market value of AUM. Poor investment performance by these businesses, on an absolute basis or as compared to third-party benchmarks or competitors, could stimulate higher redemptions, thereby lowering AUM and reducing the fees we earn, even in periods when securities prices are generally rising. In addition, if the investments we make on behalf of our funds and clients perform poorly, it may be more difficult for us to attract new investors, launch new products or offer new services in our Wealth Management business. Furthermore, if the volatility in the U.S. and global markets causes a decline in the price of securities that constitutes a significant portion of our AUM, our clients could withdraw funds from, or be hesitant to invest in, our Investment Management business due to the uncertainty or volatility in the market or in favor of investments they perceive as offering greater opportunity or lower risk, which would also result in lower investment management revenue.

***Our Investment Management business' reliance on non-affiliated third-party service providers subjects the Company to operational risks.***

We have entered into services agreements with third-party service providers for custodial services and trust and investment administration processing and reporting services. Our officers oversee and manage these relationships; however, poor oversight and control on our part or inferior performance or service on the part of the service providers could result in a loss of customers, violation of applicable rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, data protection, privacy and anti-money laundering laws and otherwise adversely affect our business and operations.

***Our agreements with the OCC require us to maintain and segregate certain assets, and our failure to comply with these agreements (including if we are required to access these assets for other purposes) could adversely affect us.***

Evercore Inc. and Evercore LP are party to a Capital and Liquidity Support Agreement, a Capital and Liquidity Maintenance Agreement and other related agreements with the OCC related to ETC (collectively, the "OCC Agreements"). The OCC Agreements require Evercore Inc. and Evercore LP to provide ETC necessary capital and liquidity support in order to ensure that ETC continues to operate safely and soundly and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In particular, the OCC Agreements require that Evercore Inc. and Evercore LP (1) maintain at least $5 million in Tier 1 capital in ETC or such other amount as the OCC may require and (2) maintain liquid assets in ETC in an amount at least equal to the greater of $3.5 million or 180 days coverage of ETC's operating expenses.

If we fail to comply with any of the OCC Agreements, we could become subject to civil money penalties, regulatory enforcement actions, payment of damages and, if the OCC deems it likely that we are unable to fulfill our obligations or breach the OCC Agreements, a forced disposition of ETC. The occurrence of any of these events or the disclosure that these events are probable or under consideration may cause reputational harm and erosion of client trust, due to a perception that we are unable to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, unable to successfully launch new initiatives and businesses, or that our reputation for integrity and high-caliber professional services is no longer valid, any of which could adversely affect our business and operations.

**Risks Related to Our International Operations**

***A meaningful portion of our revenues are derived from our international operations, which are subject to certain risks.***

In 2025, we earned 24% of our Total Revenues, excluding Other Revenue, and 24% of our Investment Banking & Equities Revenues from clients located outside of the United States. Generally, we intend to grow our non-U.S. business, and this growth is critical to our overall success. Many of our large Investment Banking & Equities clients are non-U.S. entities seeking to enter into transactions involving U.S. businesses. Our international operations carry special financial and business risks, which could include, but are not limited to, greater difficulties managing and staffing foreign operations; language and cultural differences; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely affect our results; unexpected and costly changes in tariff and trading policies, regulatory requirements, tariffs and other barriers; restrictions on travel; greater difficulties in collecting accounts receivable; longer transaction cycles; higher operating costs; local labor conditions and regulations; adverse consequences or restrictions on the repatriation of earnings; potentially adverse tax consequences, such as trapped foreign losses; less stable political and economic environments; civil disturbances or other catastrophic events that reduce business activity; disasters or other business continuity problems, such as pandemics, other man-made or natural disaster or disruption involving electronic communications or other services; and international trade issues.

As part of our day-to-day operations outside of the United States, we are required to create compensation programs, employment policies, compliance policies and procedures and other administrative programs that comply with the laws of multiple countries. We also must communicate and monitor standards and directives across our global operations. Our failure to successfully manage and grow our geographically diverse operations could impair our ability to react quickly to changing business and market conditions and to enforce compliance with non-U.S. standards, laws, regulations and procedures.

If our international business increases relative to our total business, these factors could have a more pronounced effect on our operating results. See also "*—Difficult market conditions may adversely affect our business in many ways, including reducing the volume of the transactions involving our Investment Banking & Equities business, which may materially reduce our revenue or income."*

***Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect our results.***

Because our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and we receive a portion of our revenues in other currencies, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. In addition, we pay certain of our expenses in such currencies. Generally, we do not enter into any transactions to hedge our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations in our foreign 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, respectively, to our financial results. On occasion, we enter into foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable in EGL or other commitments. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

***The cost of compliance with international broker-dealer, employment, labor, benefits and tax regulations may adversely affect our business and hamper our ability to expand internationally.***

Since we operate our business both in the U.S. and internationally, we are subject to many distinct broker-dealer, employment, labor, benefits and tax laws in each jurisdiction in which we operate, including regulations affecting our employment practices and our relations with our employees and service providers. If we are required to comply with new regulations or new interpretations of existing regulations, or if we are unable to comply with these regulations or interpretations, our business could be adversely affected or the cost of compliance may make it difficult to expand into new international markets. Additionally, our competitiveness in international markets may be adversely affected by regulations requiring, among other things, the awarding of contracts to local contractors, the employment of local citizens and/or the purchase of services from local businesses.

**Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure**

***We are required to pay some of our current and former Senior Managing Directors for most of the benefits relating to any additional tax depreciation or amortization deductions we may claim as a result of the tax basis step-up we receive in connection with exchanges of Evercore LP partnership units ("LP Units") for shares and related transactions.***

As of December 31, 2025, there were certain vested LP Units held by some of our Senior Managing Directors and former employees that may in the future be exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock. The exchanges may result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of Evercore LP that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the IRS may challenge all or part of that tax basis increase, and a court could sustain such a challenge.

We have entered into a tax receivable agreement with some of our current and former Senior Managing Directors that provides for the payment by us to these Senior Managing Directors of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize as a result of these increases in tax basis. While the actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under this agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the price of shares of our Class A common stock at the time of the exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, and the amount and timing of our income, we expect that, as a result of the size of the increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP attributable to our interest in Evercore LP, during the expected term of the tax receivable agreement, the payments that we may make to our Senior Managing Directors could be substantial. Changes in tax legislation may modify the amounts paid under the agreement. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act included a permanent reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, which reduced future amounts to be paid under the agreement with respect to tax years beginning in 2018. In addition, there are numerous other provisions which may also have an impact on the amount of tax to be paid. To the extent that there are future changes or modifications to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or other legislation that increases our federal corporate tax rate, our payment obligations under the tax receivable agreement could increase.

Although we are not aware of any issue that would cause the IRS to challenge a tax basis increase, Senior Managing Directors who receive payments will not reimburse us for any payments that may previously have been made under the tax receivable agreement. As a result, in certain circumstances we could make payments to some of the Senior Managing Directors under the tax receivable agreement in excess of our cash tax savings. Our ability to achieve benefits from any tax basis increase, and the payments to be made under this agreement, will depend upon a number of factors, as discussed above, including the timing and amount of our future income.

***Our only material asset is our interest in Evercore LP, and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions from Evercore LP to pay dividends, taxes and other expenses.***

The Company is a holding company and has no material assets other than its ownership of partnership units of Evercore LP. The Company has no independent means of generating revenue. We intend to cause Evercore LP to make distributions to its partners in an amount sufficient to cover all applicable taxes payable, other expenses and dividends, if any, declared by us.

Payments of dividends, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including economic and business conditions; our financial condition and operating results; our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs; our capital requirements; applicable contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions; implications of the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiaries (including Evercore LP) to us; and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In addition, Evercore LP is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a partner to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of Evercore LP (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets. Furthermore, certain subsidiaries of Evercore LP may be subject to similar legal limitations on their ability to make distributions to Evercore LP. Moreover, our regulated subsidiaries may be subject to regulatory capital requirements that limit the distributions that may be made by those subsidiaries.

Deterioration in the financial condition, earnings or cash flow of Evercore LP and its subsidiaries for any reason could limit or impair their ability to pay such distributions. Additionally, to the extent that the Company requires funds and Evercore LP is restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of financing arrangements, or is otherwise unable to provide such funds, our liquidity and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

As of December 31, 2025, regulated subsidiaries of Evercore LP had $1.65 billion of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities. Amounts held in regulated entities may be subject to advance notification requirements to, or regulatory approval from, their relevant regulatory body prior to distribution, which could delay or restrict access to such capital.

***If Evercore Inc. were deemed an "investment company" under the 1940 Act as a result of its ownership of Evercore LP, applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business.***

If Evercore Inc. were to cease participation in the management of Evercore LP, its interest in Evercore LP could be deemed an "investment security" for purposes of the 1940 Act. Generally, a person is deemed to be an "investment company" if it owns investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items), absent an applicable exemption. Evercore Inc. will have no material assets other than its equity interest in Evercore LP. A determination that this interest was an investment security could result in Evercore Inc. being an investment company under the 1940 Act and becoming subject to the registration and other requirements of the 1940 Act.

The 1940 Act and the rules thereunder contain detailed parameters for the organization and operations of investment companies. Among other things, the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder limit or prohibit transactions with affiliates, impose limitations on the issuance of debt and equity securities, prohibit the issuance of stock options, and impose certain governance requirements. We intend to conduct our operations so that Evercore Inc. will not be deemed to be an investment company under the 1940 Act. However, if anything were to happen which would cause Evercore Inc. to be deemed to be an investment company under the 1940 Act, requirements imposed by the 1940 Act, including limitations on our capital structure, ability to transact business with affiliates and ability to compensate key employees, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as currently conducted, impair the agreements and arrangements between and among Evercore Inc., Evercore LP or our Senior Managing Directors, or any combination thereof and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**Risks Related to Our Class A Common Stock**

***Our employees control a significant portion of the voting power in Evercore Inc., which may give rise to conflicts of interests.***

Our employees own shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock. Our certificate of incorporation provides that the holders of the shares of our Class B common stock are entitled to a number of votes that is determined pursuant to a formula that relates to the number of LP Units held by such holders. Each holder of Class B common stock is entitled, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by such holder, to one vote for each partnership unit in Evercore LP held by such holder. Our employees, and certain trusts benefiting their families, collectively, have a significant portion of the voting power in Evercore Inc. As a result, our employees have the ability to exercise influence over the election of the members of our Board of Directors and, therefore, influence over our management and affairs, including determinations with respect to acquisitions, dispositions, borrowings, issuances of common stock or other securities, and the declaration and payment of dividends. In addition, they are able to exercise influence over the outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval. This concentration of ownership could deprive our other Class A stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

***Our share price may decline or we may have a significant increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding due to the large number of shares eligible for future sale and for exchange.***

The market price of our Class A common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of Class A common stock in the market or the perception that such sales could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

Further, we have historically repurchased a significant number of shares of our Class A common stock in the open market. If we were to cease or were unable to repurchase shares of Class A common stock, or choose to allocate available capital to the repayment of borrowings or other expenditures, the number of shares outstanding would increase over time, diluting the ownership of existing stockholders.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation allows the exchange of Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class A LP Units"), Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units"), Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units") and Class K limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class K LP Units") (other than those held by us) for shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. The shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exchange of the partnership units that are held by our Senior Managing Directors and certain other employees of the Company are eligible for resale from time to time, subject to certain contractual and Securities Act restrictions.

Further, as part of annual bonuses and incentive compensation, we award restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, as well as to new hires. Each RSU represents the holder's right to receive one share of our Class A common stock following the applicable vesting date. Should we issue RSUs in excess of the amount remaining as authorized for issuance under the Third Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, these awards would be accounted for as liability awards, with changes in the fair value of these awards reflected as compensation expense until authorization is obtained.

Some of our Senior Managing Directors are parties to registration rights agreements with us. Under these agreements, these persons have the ability to cause us to register the shares of our Class A common stock they could acquire.

***The market price of our Class A common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of our Class A common stock to decline.***

Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price of our Class A common stock in spite of our operating performance. In addition, our operating results could be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, and in response, the market price of our Class A common stock could decrease significantly.

***Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control.***

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider favorable by permitting our Board of Directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock, requiring advance notice for stockholder proposals and nominations and placing limitations on convening stockholder meetings. In addition, we are subject to provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law that restrict certain business combinations with interested stockholders. These provisions may also discourage acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in control, which could harm our stock price.

Managing information technology ("IT") and cybersecurity risks, including maintaining confidentiality and privacy for our clients and employees, is critical to the successful operation of our business. We are aware that there are risks presented by cybersecurity, including how those risks may increase with the use by others of artificial intelligence, and are committed to preventing and mitigating such risks by following the below framework.

**Board of Directors Oversight**

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is charged with a majority of the risk oversight responsibilities on behalf of the Board of Directors, including risks associated with IT and cybersecurity. The Board of Directors and the Audit

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Committee are updated periodically on cybersecurity matters. Our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and General Counsel both report directly to our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and periodically meet with the Audit Committee in conjunction with a review of our quarterly and annual periodic SEC filings to discuss important risks we face, highlighting any new risks that have arisen since the prior meeting. Specifically with respect to cybersecurity, our Chief Information Officer ("CIO") and Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO") join our CFO and General Counsel to provide updates directly to the Audit Committee, along with third party experts engaged to recommend enhancements to and improve the Company's cybersecurity practices. In addition, all non-management members of the Board of Directors are invited to attend all committee meetings, regardless of whether the individual sits on the specific committee. Board of Directors members have access to senior executives, including our CFO and General Counsel, and in addition to periodic reports, we maintain formal processes for escalating live issues to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, as described below.

**Management**

On a day-to-day basis, our CISO leads our cybersecurity program with support from senior leadership. Our Information Security program is a bespoke program created for the Company and is guided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. The Information Security team is composed of three core functional areas, which work collaboratively to keep our assets secure:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Governance, Risk, & Administration****.* Responsible for setting policy, maintaining and conducting risk assessments, ensuring regulatory compliance in partnership with our legal and compliance team, coordinating audits, evaluating new technology platforms, and overseeing the Company's data governance, vendor risk management, and training programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Security Operations****.* Responsible for monitoring our security posture on an ongoing basis, including alert response and escalation. This team is supported by a third-party security firm that serves as the Company's Security Operations Center and performs continuous monitoring of security across the enterprise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Security Architecture****.* Responsible for managing and maintaining security systems and identity management programs, as well as performing security reviews for key technology platforms.

The CISO leads our Information Security team and is responsible for establishing and maintaining the Enterprise Information Security Policy (the "Policy"). Our CISO has over a decade of experience in information security strategy, audit and risk management, as well as technical leadership expertise. To stay abreast of the evolving threat landscape, the CISO is active in the cyber community through discussions with peer groups, industry experts and law enforcement agencies. Members of the Information Security team have backgrounds in cybersecurity or experience applicable to their roles, including relevant industry certifications.

Our Enterprise Information Security Policy contains existing controls to protect information systems (and the data hosted within) and to educate personnel as to the proper use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of that data. The Policy is further intended to reasonably protect our systems and data against internal and external threats that could impact it. We periodically review this Policy for improvements and request each account user to read and attest to the Policy as updates are made. We employ a Defense-in-Depth approach to information security, which includes adoption of network perimeter, endpoint, and end-user controls in accordance with the Policy. We are focused on improvement of our security posture; we are periodically assessed by internal and external audits, as well as third-party security experts, such that our program continues to address and respond to evolving threats.

Education and awareness to cyber threats is a core component of our information security program. All employees undergo dedicated cybersecurity training as part of their onboarding process and on an ongoing basis. In recent years, we have enhanced our employee education and awareness program to focus on engagement, including through frequent phishing campaign assessments, communications from our CISO and reinforcement from other senior leaders on relevant cyber threats. We have also engaged third-party experts to perform penetration tests and assess our response mechanisms and hosted tabletop exercises with senior leaders to test our incident response preparedness. These organizations, as well as other third parties that do business with us, are reviewed as part of our Vendor Risk Management program. To foster prompt response to incidents, recovery of lost data, and minimal impact to strategic operations in emergency events, we maintain, test, and regularly review our Incident Response, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans.

**Incident Response Plan**

We have adopted an Incident Response Plan to provide a formal framework for responding to cybersecurity incidents. The overall purpose of the framework is to provide procedures designed to protect and preserve the availability, integrity and confidentiality of the Company's information and network assets, regardless of format. The plan was designed with the objective of performing timely investigations and assessments of the severity of the incidents (including the sensitivity of the information compromised), taking all appropriate measures to contain and control damage to customers resulting from the incident, returning to normal operating conditions as quickly as possible, and taking appropriate steps to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including our disclosure obligations under the securities laws.

The Incident Response Plan establishes procedures for assessing threats, determining when escalation of threats is required, and establishing a coordinated, multi-functional response to mitigate the impact of any incidents. After becoming aware of an incident, our cybersecurity team will review the incident against several critical questions to guide our immediate response. If an incident requires escalation, our core response team, which includes our CIO, CISO, General Counsel, CFO, Chief Compliance Officer, and other business leaders, is responsible for analyzing the materiality of the incident (including whether the incident qualifies as a material cyber event under SEC cybersecurity rules) and leading our response. The core response team is responsible for involving other corporate and business leaders throughout the organization as appropriate for communication and incident resolution, as well as communicating with the Board of Directors regarding the incident and management's response as appropriate.

**Impact of Cybersecurity Risk**

During the period covered by this report, we are not aware of any cyber incidents that, individually or in the aggregate, have been material to our operations or financial condition. Additionally, we do not believe that risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, are reasonably likely to materially affect our strategy, results of operations or financial condition over the long term. For a discussion of cybersecurity risk, see the information contained under the heading *"Our business is subject to various cybersecurity risks"* in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Form 10-K.

| **Item 3.** | **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, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai, Saudi, Indonesian 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, 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 Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 450, "*Contingencies"* when warranted*.* Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

**Evercore Class A Common Stock**

Our Class A common stock is listed on the NYSE and is traded under the symbol "EVR." At the close of business on February 11, 2026, there were 37 Class A common stockholders of record. This is not the actual number of beneficial owners of the Company's common stock, as shares are held in "street name" by brokers and others on behalf of individual owners.

There is no trading market for the Evercore Inc. Class B common stock. As of February 11, 2026, there were 45 holders of record of the Class B common stock.

**Dividend Policy**

The Company paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.84 per share of Class A common stock for the quarters ended December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, $0.80 per share for the quarters ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 and $0.76 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

We pay dividend equivalents, in the form of deferred cash dividends or unvested RSU awards, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A common shares, on all unvested and vested RSU grants. The dividend equivalents have the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSU award.

The declaration and payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors will take into account: general economic and business conditions; our financial condition and operating results; our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs; capital requirements; contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions and implications on the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiaries (including Evercore LP) to us; and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

We are a holding company and have no material assets other than our ownership of partnership units of Evercore LP. We intend to cause Evercore LP to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover dividends, if any, declared by us and tax distributions. If Evercore LP makes such distributions, the limited partners of Evercore LP may be entitled to receive equivalent distributions from Evercore LP on their partnership units.

| **Item 7.** | **Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations** |

---

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

**Key Financial Measures**

*Revenue*

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

*Investment Banking & Equities.* Our Investment Banking & Equities segment earns fees from its clients for providing advice on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, capital raising, leveraged buyouts, liability management and restructurings, private funds advisory and private capital markets services, activism and defense and similar corporate finance matters, and from underwriting and private placement activities, as well as commissions, fees and principal revenues from research and 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 revenue consists of advisory fees for which realizations are dependent on the successful completion of client 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, to achieve necessary regulatory approvals, or due to adverse market conditions. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees may be subject to court approval. 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 Revenue 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 Revenue also includes subscription fees for the sale of research, as well as revenues from trades primarily executed on a riskless principal basis. 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 M&A activity, restructuring activity, which generally tends to be counter-cyclical to M&A, and capital advisory activity. Demand for these capabilities can vary 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, restructuring or capital advisory activity. Revenue trends in our equities business are correlated, in part, to market volumes, which generally decrease in periods of low market volatility or unfavorable market or economic conditions. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further information.

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

Management fees for third party clients generally represent a percentage of AUM. Fiduciary fees, which are generally a function of the size and complexity of each engagement, are individually negotiated. 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 our Investment Banking & Equities segment, we incur various transaction-related expenditures, such as travel expenses 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations on the later of the date an engagement letter is executed or the date we pay or accrue the expense.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

*Other Revenue and Interest Expense.* Other Revenue includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* Interest income, including accretion, and income (losses) on investment securities, including our investment funds (which are used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program), certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents and long-term accounts receivable

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A gain on the sale of the remaining portion of our interest in ABS Investment Management Holdings LP and ABS Investment Management GP LLC (collectively, "ABS") in 2024. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A loss related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange losses resulting from the redemption of our interest in Luminis in 2024. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency exchange forward contracts used as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interests in private equity funds which we do not manage

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjustments to amounts due pursuant to our tax receivable agreement, subsequent to its initial establishment, related to changes in enacted tax rates

Interest Expense includes interest expense associated with our Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements, including interest expense related to deferred acquisition consideration and mandatorily redeemable interests.

*Expenses*

*Employee Compensation and Benefits.* 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 and attract key personnel, and it reflects the impact of newly-hired senior professionals upon their start date, including related grants of equity and other awards, which are generally valued at their grant date and recorded in employee compensation and benefits expense over the requisite service period.

Increasing the number of high-caliber, experienced senior level employees is critical to our growth efforts. See Item 1. "Business" for further information. In our advisory businesses, these hires, which begin their service throughout any given year, 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, the amount granted of which is a function of performance and market conditions, 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 amortized over the stated vesting period, subject to retirement eligibility. With respect to annual awards, our retirement eligibility criteria generally stipulates that an employee is eligible for retirement if the 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, or if an employee has at least 10 years of continuous service and is at least 60 years of age. 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 and comply with certain post-termination obligations.

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.

In January 2023, 2024 and 2025, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests of Evercore LP ("Class L Interests") to certain of our named executive officers, pursuant to which those named executive officers receive a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, paid in the first quarters of 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Distributions pursuant to these interests are made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to our named executive officers in respect of their service for 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Following the distributions, the Class L Interests are cancelled pursuant to their terms. We record expense equal to the amount of these distributions in Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and reflect accrued liabilities related to these distributions in Accrued Compensation and Benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

In January 2026, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests to certain of our named executive officers, pursuant to which those named executive officers may receive a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, to be paid in the first quarter of 2027. Distributions pursuant to these interests are anticipated to be made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to our named executive officers in respect of their service for 2026.

Our Long-term Incentive Plans provide for incentive compensation awards for Investment Banking Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers, who exceed defined benchmark results over four-year performance periods beginning January 1, 2017 (the "2017 Long-term Incentive Plan"), January 1, 2021 (the "2021 Long-term Incentive Plan") and January 1, 2025 (the "2025 Long-term Incentive Plan"). The performance period for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan ended on December 31, 2020 and in conjunction with this plan we made cash distributions in 2023, 2022 and 2021 and the performance period for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan ended on December 31, 2024 and in conjunction with this plan we made a cash distribution in 2025. Remaining amounts due pursuant to these plans are due to be paid in cash or Class A Shares, at our discretion, in the first quarter of 2026 and 2027, for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan, and in the first quarter of 2029, 2030 and 2031, for the 2025 Long-term Incentive Plan, subject to employment at the time of payment. 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 incentive awards to certain individuals which include both performance and service-based vesting requirements and, in certain awards, market-based requirements. These include Class K-P Units issued by Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units"), certain RSU and deferred cash awards, as well as awards issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Robey Warshaw in 2025. See Note 18 to our 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 relative to performance and provides a meaningful basis for comparison of compensation and benefits expense between present, historical and future years.

*Non-Compensation.* Our Non-Compensation expenses include costs for occupancy and equipment rental, professional fees, travel and related expenses, technology and information services, depreciation and amortization, execution, clearing and custody fees, acquisition and transition costs and other operating expenses.

*Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs.* Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, reflect the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• 2024* – Expenses related to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of our interest

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *2023* – Expenses related to the write-off of non-recoverable assets in connection with the wind-down of our operations in Mexico

*Income from Equity Method Investments*

Our share of the income (loss) from our equity interests in Atalanta Sosnoff and Seneca Evercore, and our former equity interests in ABS (through July 2024) and Luminis (through September 2024) are included within Income from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

*Provision for Income Taxes*

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, *"Income Taxes"* ("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.

addition, net deferred tax assets are impacted by changes to statutory tax rates in the period of enactment. See Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

*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. 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. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

(A)Includes the reclassification of $39.5 million and $35.1 million of technology and related expenses from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services" for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to conform to the current presentation.

***2025 versus 2024***

Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. was $591.9 million in 2025, an increase of $213.6 million, or 56%, compared to $378.3 million in 2024. The changes in our operating results during these years are described below.

Net Revenues were $3.86 billion in 2025, an increase of $876.2 million, or 29%, versus Net Revenues of $2.98 billion in 2024. Advisory Fees increased $826.5 million, or 34%, Commissions and Related Revenue increased $28.6 million, or 13%, and Underwriting Fees increased $22.6 million, or 14%, compared to 2024. Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $7.8 million, or 10%, compared to 2024. See "Business Segments" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further information.

Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, was $103.3 million in 2025, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 2%, versus $105.1 million in 2024, primarily reflecting lower performance of our investment funds portfolio. The decrease was partially offset by higher interest income resulting from higher average balances in interest-bearing assets. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program.

Interest Expense was $24.3 million in 2025, an increase of $7.5 million, or 45%, versus $16.8 million in 2024, reflecting the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $2.50 billion in 2025, an increase of $526.8 million, or 27%, versus $1.97 billion in 2024. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized in 2025 principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. The increase in 2025 also reflects compensation resulting from consideration awarded to the sellers as part of the acquisition of Robey Warshaw. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 64.9% in 2025, compared to 66.3% in 2024. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was impacted by the factors above, as well as higher net revenues during the current year period compared to the prior year period.

Non-compensation expenses were $565.0 million in 2025, an increase of $93.7 million, or 20%, versus $471.3 million in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with research services, license fees and consulting costs, an increase in occupancy and equipment rental expense, primarily related to an increase in office space, and an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount. Non-compensation expenses in 2025 were also impacted by Acquisition and Transition Costs resulting from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw and our reorganization of businesses within the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") legal entity structure. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for further information. Non-Compensation expenses per employee were approximately $229.3 thousand for 2025, versus $204.5 thousand for 2024, a 12% increase.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $7.3 million in 2024 related to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of our interest. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $3.9 million in 2025, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 38%, versus $6.2 million in 2024, primarily reflecting the sale of our interest in ABS and the redemption of our interest in Luminis in 2024. This decrease was partially offset by higher earnings from Atalanta Sosnoff in 2025. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

The provision for income taxes in 2025 was $153.1 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 19.3%. The provision for income taxes in 2024 was $115.4 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 21.6%. The provision for income taxes in 2025 and 2024 principally reflects the net impact associated with the appreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price of $78.5 million and $35.1 million, respectively, which resulted in a reduction in the effective tax rate of 9.9 and 6.6 percentage points in 2025 and 2024, respectively. This resulting decrease in effective tax rate was partially offset by an increase in non-deductible expenses and state and local apportionment adjustments in 2025.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest was $48.8 million in 2025, compared to $39.5 million in 2024. The increase in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest primarily reflects higher income at Evercore LP in 2025. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

***Impairment of Assets***

<u>Goodwill</u>

*Investment Banking & Equities Results of Operations*

***2025 versus 2024***

Net Revenues were $3.77 billion in 2025, an increase of $869.2 million, or 30%, versus $2.90 billion in 2024. The increase in revenues from 2024 was primarily driven by an increase of $826.5 million, or 34%, in Advisory Fees, primarily reflecting an increase in revenue during 2025 across both M&A and non-M&A assignments, an increase in revenue earned from large transactions and an increase in the number of advisory fees earned during 2025. Commissions and Related Revenue increased $28.6 million, or 13%, compared to 2024, primarily reflecting higher trading commissions driven by increased trading volume and higher subscription fees during 2025. Underwriting Fees increased $22.6 million, or 14%, compared to 2024, reflecting an increase in the average fee size of the transactions we participated in during 2025. Other Revenue, net, decreased $8.5 million, or 10%, compared to 2024, primarily reflecting lower performance of our investment funds portfolio and an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025. These decreases were partially offset by higher interest income resulting from higher average balances in interest-bearing assets. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $2.45 billion in 2025, an increase of $520.5 million, or 27%, versus $1.93 billion in 2024. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized in 2025 principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards.

increase in 2025 also reflects compensation resulting from consideration awarded to the sellers as part of the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.

Non-compensation expenses were $548.3 million in 2025, an increase of $92.0 million, or 20%, versus $456.3 million in 2024. Non-compensation expenses increased from the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with research services, license fees and consulting costs, an increase in occupancy and equipment rental expense, primarily related to an increase in office space, and an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount. Non-compensation expenses in 2025 were also impacted by Acquisition and Transition Costs resulting from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw and our reorganization of businesses within the EMEA legal entity structure. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $7.3 million in 2024 related to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of our interest. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $0.01 million in 2025, a decrease of $1.1 million versus $1.1 million in 2024, reflecting lower income from Luminis following the redemption of our interest in 2024 and lower earnings from Seneca Evercore during 2025.

See Notes 2 and 23 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

*Investment Management Results of Operations*

Our Investment Management segment includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Private Equity – conducted through our investment interests in private equity funds. We maintain a limited partner's interest in Glisco Partners II, L.P. ("Glisco II"), Glisco Partners III, L.P. ("Glisco III") and Glisco Capital Partners IV, L.P. ("Glisco IV", and together with Glisco II and Glisco III, the "Glisco Funds"), 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 Capital Partners Associates IV, L.P. (through December 2025) and Trilantic Capital Partners V, L.P. In the event the private equity funds perform below certain thresholds, we may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of December 31, 2025, there was no previously distributed carried interest received from the funds subject to repayment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We also hold an interest in Atalanta Sosnoff that is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and previously held an interest in ABS (through July 2024). The results of these investments are included within Income from Equity Method Investments. During 2024, we sold the remaining portion of our interest in ABS. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

*Assets Under Management*

AUM in our Wealth Management business of $15.5 billion at December 31, 2025 increased $1.6 billion, or 12%, compared to $13.9 billion at December 31, 2024. The amounts of AUM presented in the table below reflect the fair value of assets which we manage on behalf of Wealth Management clients. As defined in ASC 820, *"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures"* ("ASC 820"), valuations performed for Level 1 investments are based on quoted prices obtained from active markets generated by third parties and Level 2 investments are valued through the use of models based on either direct or indirect observable inputs or other valuation methodologies performed by third parties to determine fair value. For both the Level 1 and Level 2 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 3 investments, 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. Wealth Management maintained 78% and 77% of Level 1 investments, 18% and 19% of Level 2 investments and 4% and 4% of Level 3 investments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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, and changes in our product mix will impact the level of

management fees we receive from our Wealth Management business. 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.

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 business is measured against appropriate indices based on the composition of AUM, most frequently the S&P 500 and a composite fixed income index principally reflecting BarCap and MSCI indices.

In 2025, AUM for Wealth Management increased 12%, reflecting a 10% increase from market appreciation and a 2% increase from net inflows. Performance as of December 31, 2025 reflected:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wealth Management lagged the S&P 500 on a 1 and 3-year basis by approximately 7% and 5%, respectively

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ The S&P 500 was up approximately 18% and 23% on a 1 and 3-year basis, respectively

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wealth Management lagged the fixed income composite on a 1-year basis by approximately 0.5% and outperformed the fixed income composite on a 3-year basis by approximately 0.3%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ The fixed income composite was up approximately 5% and 3% on a 1 and 3-year basis, respectively

In 2024, AUM for Wealth Management increased 13%, reflecting an 11% increase due to market appreciation and a 2% increase due to net inflows. Performance as of December 31, 2024 reflected:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wealth Management lagged the S&P 500 on a 1 and 3-year basis by approximately 11% and 5%, respectively

AUM from our unconsolidated affiliate, Atalanta Sosnoff, increased 12% compared to December 31, 2024.

***2025 versus 2024***

Net Revenues were $88.2 million in 2025, an increase of $7.1 million, or 9%, versus $81.1 million in 2024. Asset Management and Administration Fees earned from the management of Wealth Management client portfolios increased $7.8 million, or 10%, compared to 2024, as associated AUM increased 12%, primarily from market appreciation as well as net inflows.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $52.4 million in 2025, an increase of $6.3 million, or 14%, versus $46.1 million in 2024, primarily reflecting higher base salaries and a higher accrual for incentive compensation, resulting from higher headcount.

Non-Compensation expenses were $16.7 million in 2025, an increase of $1.7 million, or 11%, versus $15.1 million in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services and travel and related expenses.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $3.9 million in 2025, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 25%, versus $5.2 million in 2024, primarily reflecting the sale of the remaining portion of our interest in ABS in 2024. This decrease was partially offset by higher earnings from Atalanta Sosnoff in 2025. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

For a discussion of 2024 versus 2023, refer to Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations" in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Cash Flows**

Our operating cash flows are primarily influenced by the timing and receipt of fees and the payment of operating expenses, including incentive compensation to our employees and interest expense on our Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements, and the payment of income taxes. Advisory and Underwriting fees are generally collected within 90 days of invoice. Placement fees are generally collected within 180 days of invoice and a portion of certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses may be 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 business are generally invoiced and collected within 90 days. We traditionally pay a substantial portion of incentive compensation during the first three months of each calendar year with respect to the prior year's results and prior years' 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, repurchase outstanding Class A Shares (including for the net settlement of RSUs) and/or noncontrolling interest in Evercore LP, as well as our other subsidiaries, payment of dividends, other periodic distributions to our stakeholders and to raise capital through the issuance of stock or debt. We generally make dividend payments and other distributions on a quarterly basis. If required, we may 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***2025.*** Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash were $1.4 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of $554.0 million versus Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash of $882.1 million at December 31, 2024. Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $1.3 billion, primarily related to earnings. Cash of $98.3 million was used by investing activities, primarily related to purchases of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements and net purchases of investment securities, partially offset by net proceeds from maturities of certificates of deposit and net cash acquired from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for further information. Financing activities during the period used cash of $635.6 million, primarily for purchases of treasury stock (including for the net settlement of RSUs) and noncontrolling interests, the payment of dividends, the $38.0 million repayment of our 1.97% Series I senior notes which were due August 1, 2025 (the "Series I Notes" or the "2021 Private Placement Notes") and distributions made to noncontrolling interest holders, partially offset by the $250.0 million issuance of our $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.17% Series K senior notes due July 24, 2030 (the "Series K Notes") and $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.47% Series L senior notes due July 24, 2032 (the "Series L Notes" and together with the Series K Notes, the "2025 Private Placement Notes"). Cash is also impacted due to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuation when translating non-U.S. currencies to U.S. Dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***2024.*** Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash were $882.1 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $276.6 million versus Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash of $605.5 million at December 31, 2023. Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $988.2 million, primarily related to earnings. Cash of $67.4 million was used by investing activities, primarily related to net purchases of investment securities and certificates of deposit and purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements, partially offset by proceeds received from the sale of the remaining portion of our interest in ABS during 2024. Financing activities during the period used cash of $628.6 million, primarily for purchases of treasury stock (including for the net settlement of RSUs) and noncontrolling interests, the payment of dividends and distributions made 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.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

*General*

Our current assets principally include Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investment Securities and Certificates of Deposit, Accounts Receivable and contract assets, included in Other Current Assets, relating to revenues from our Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management segments. Our current liabilities principally include accrued expenses, accrued liabilities, 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 generally made quarterly. 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 capital requirements and restrictions of our regulated legal entities. Our liquidity is highly dependent on our revenue stream from our operations, principally from our Investment Banking & Equities segment, which is primarily a function of closing client 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 Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements, as well as payments for 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, including deferred compensation arrangements. 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 well as the level of long-term borrowings required.

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 - which may result from the current or anticipated impact of tariffs and inflation, changes in the level of interest rates, changes in the availability of financing, supply chain disruptions, an evolving regulatory environment, climate change, extreme weather events or natural disasters, the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyberattacks or campaigns, military conflict, including escalating international tensions, terrorism or other geopolitical events - the number and value of M&A transactions, as well as issuance volumes in capital markets, 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 and obligations to pay principal and interest on our Notes Payable. 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 Investment Management 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 30<sup>th</sup>, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

Geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty remain present and have led to market volatility. These evolving conditions may impact the transaction environment in the near to medium term and/or impact the timing of transaction closings. We will continue to assess the potential ongoing impacts of these factors, including the regular monitoring of our cash levels, liquidity, regulatory capital requirements, debt covenants and our other contractual obligations. See "Results of Operations" above for further information.

We assess each of 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.

For a further discussion of risks related to our business, refer to Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Form 10-K.

*Treasury Purchases* 

We periodically repurchase Class A Shares and/or LP Units into Treasury (including through the net settlement of equity awards) in order to offset the dilutive effect of equity awards granted as compensation (see Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for further information), or amounts in excess of that if management's review, discussed above, determines adequate cash is available. 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 April 29, 2025, 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 $1.6 billion worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 8.0 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 our liquidity position, 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 2025, we repurchased 1,443,097 Class A Shares, at an average cost per share of $269.74, for $389.3 million, pursuant to our repurchase program.

In addition, we periodically 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 2025, we repurchased 955,361 Class A Shares, at an average cost per share of $284.01, for $271.3 million, primarily related to minimum tax withholding requirements of share deliveries.

The aggregate 2,398,458 Class A Shares repurchased during 2025 were acquired for aggregate purchase consideration of $660.6 million, at an average cost per share of $275.42.

On March 30, 2016, we issued an aggregate of $170.0 million of senior notes, including: $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.88% Series A senior notes which were due and repaid on March 30, 2021 (the "Series A Notes"), $67.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.23% Series B senior notes which were originally due March 30, 2023 and prepaid on June 28, 2022 (the "Series B Notes"), $48.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.48% Series C senior notes due March 30, 2026 (the "Series C Notes") and $17.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.58% Series D senior notes due March 30, 2028 (the "Series D Notes" and together with the Series A Notes, the Series B Notes and the Series C Notes, the "2016 Private Placement Notes"), pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated as of March 30, 2016 (the "2016 Note Purchase Agreement") and amended on July 10, 2025, among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

On August 1, 2019, we issued $175.0 million and £25.0 million of senior unsecured notes through private placement. These notes include: $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.34% Series E senior notes due August 1, 2029 (the "Series E Notes"), $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.44% Series F senior notes due August 1, 2031 (the "Series F Notes"), $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.54% Series G senior notes due August 1, 2033 (the "Series G Notes") and £25.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.33% Series H senior notes due August 1, 2033 (the "Series H Notes" and together with the Series E Notes, the Series F Notes and the Series G Notes, the "2019 Private Placement Notes"), each of which were issued pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated as of August 1, 2019 (the "2019 Note Purchase Agreement") and amended on July 10, 2025, among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

On March 29, 2021, we issued $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.97% Series I Notes which were due August 1, 2025, pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated as of March 29, 2021 (the "2021 Note Purchase Agreement"), among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. In August 2025, we repaid the $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Series I Notes.

On June 28, 2022, we issued $67.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.61% Series J senior notes due November 15, 2028 (the "Series J Notes" or the "2022 Private Placement Notes"), pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated as of June 28, 2022 (the "2022 Note Purchase Agreement") and amended on July 10, 2025, among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

On July 24, 2025, we issued an aggregate of $250.0 million of senior notes, including: $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.17% Series K Notes and $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.47% Series L Notes, pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated as of July 10, 2025 (the "2025 Note Purchase Agreement"), among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the 2025 Private Placement Notes to repay certain maturing notes issued under prior note purchase agreements. The remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Interest on the above issuances is payable semi-annually and the 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 notes (without regard to Series), in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of each of the individual issuances then outstanding at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus an applicable "make-whole amount." The 2025 Private Placement Notes also allow for prepayment within six months of maturity without an applicable "make-whole amount." Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the holders of the notes will have the right to require us to prepay the entire unpaid principal amounts held by each holder of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the prepayment date. The respective Note Purchase Agreements contain 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. Interest on the notes is subject to certain escalation provisions in the event that the leverage ratio exceeds certain thresholds. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

*Lines of Credit* 

On July 10, 2025, we amended our $85.0 million revolving credit facility Evercore Partners Services East L.L.C. ("East") held with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") such that the aggregate principal amount was increased to up to $225.0 million (the "PNC Facility") to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. The facility is unsecured. 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 December 31, 2025. Drawings for this facility bear interest at Daily SOFR plus 130 basis points and the maturity date was extended to July 10, 2028. There were no drawings under this facility at December 31, 2025.

EGL maintains a subordinated revolving credit facility with PNC, as amended on October 10, 2025, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million, to be used as needed in support of capital requirements from time to time of EGL. This facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by Evercore LP and other affiliates, pursuant to a guaranty agreement, which provides for certain reporting requirements and debt covenants consistent with the PNC Facility. The interest rate provisions are Daily SOFR plus 130 basis points and the maturity date is October 10, 2029. There were no drawings under this facility at December 31, 2025.

In addition, EGL's clearing broker provides temporary funding for the settlement of securities transactions.

*Other Commitments*

We have long-term obligations for operating lease commitments, principally related to office space, which expire on various dates through 2035. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for anticipated current and future payments under these arrangements.

We have a long-term liability, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements, which requires payments to certain current and former Senior Managing Directors. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to deferred compensation and deferred consideration arrangements, we expect to make cash payments in future periods, including related to our Long-term Incentive Plans, Deferred Cash Compensation Program and other deferred compensation arrangements. Further, we make investments to hedge the economic risk of amounts due under our Deferred Cash Compensation Program. For further information, including timing of payments, see Notes 8 and 18 to our consolidated financial statements.

Certain of our subsidiaries are regulated entities and are subject to capital requirements. For further information see Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements.

We had total commitments (not reflected on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition) relating to future capital contributions to private equity funds of $2.5 million and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We may be required to fund these commitments at any time through June 2028, depending on the timing and level of investments by the

private equity funds. We expect to fund these commitments with cash flows from operations. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

We entered into commitments to pay additional consideration, including contingent consideration and certain other contingent compensation arrangements, related to our acquisition of Robey Warshaw in 2025. See Notes 5 and 18 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

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 consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2025, our current and former Senior Managing Directors owned an aggregate of approximately 1.2 million vested Class A LP Units, 0.3 million vested Class E LP Units, 0.4 million vested Class I LP Units and 0.7 million vested Class K LP Units. In addition, 0.7 million unvested Class K-P Units, which convert into a number of Class K LP Units based on the achievement of certain market and service conditions and defined benchmark results, were outstanding as of December 31, 2025. We have an obligation to exchange vested Class A, E, I and K LP Units to Class A Common Stock upon the request of the holder. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2025 included $1.43 billion of Cash and Cash Equivalents and $1.58 billion of Investment Securities and Certificates of Deposit, which are generally comprised of highly-liquid investments. For further information regarding other cash commitments and the timing of payments, refer to *"General"* above.

**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.

*Market and Investment Risk*

We hold equity securities and invest in exchange-traded funds principally as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of our investments with these products, based on closing prices, was $175.8 million. We had net realized and unrealized gains of $25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from our exchange-traded funds portfolio. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

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 $17.6 million, $35.2 million and $52.7 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025.

*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. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

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 $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

*Exchange Rate Risk*

We have foreign operations, through our subsidiaries and affiliates, primarily in Europe and Asia, 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 non-U.S. revenues and expenses have been, and will continue to be, derived from contracts denominated in foreign currencies (i.e. British Pounds sterling, Euros, Singapore dollars, among others). Historically, the value of these foreign currencies has fluctuated relative to the U.S. dollar. For the year ended

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

December 31, 2025, the net impact of the fluctuation of foreign currencies recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income was a gain of $24.9 million, net of tax. 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.

Periodically, we enter into foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments.

During 2025, we entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts to buy 200.0 million British Pounds sterling for $270.6 million and to sell 71.3 million British Pounds sterling for $96.4 million, both of which settled in 2025. We recorded a net loss on these contracts of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the first quarter of 2023, we entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30.0 million British Pounds sterling for $36.9 million, which settled during the third quarter of 2023, and resulted in a loss of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Upon settlement, we entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30.0 million British Pounds sterling for $36.7 million, which settled during 2024, and resulted in a loss of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

*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 primarily from certain fees related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for credit losses. We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide coverage for probable losses from our customer receivables and determine the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on 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. Our 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 certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses, a portion of which may be collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for liability management and restructuring transaction receivables may exceed 90 days. We recorded bad debt expense of $5.6 million, $2.3 million and $5.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, total receivables recorded in Accounts Receivable amounted to $555.8 million and $421.5 million, respectively, net of an allowance for credit losses, and total receivables recorded in Other Assets amounted to $129.9 million and $101.3 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 December 31, 2025, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $147.4 million and $27.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $62.4 million and $14.5 million, respectively.

With respect to our Investment Securities portfolio, which is comprised primarily of U.S. Treasury securities, exchange-traded funds and securities investments, we manage our credit risk exposure by limiting concentration risk and maintaining investment grade credit quality. As of December 31, 2025, we had Investment Securities of $1.54 billion, of which 89% were U.S. Treasury securities.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

The 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

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

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. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

***Revenue Recognition***

We account for revenue recognition under ASC 606, *"Revenue from Contracts with Customers,"* which provides a five step model to revenue recognition as follows:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

We apply this model to revenue streams from our Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management segments.

*Investment Banking & Equities Revenue* 

We earn fees from clients for providing advisory services on strategic matters, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, liability management and restructurings, activism and defense and similar corporate finance matters. Our Investment Banking & Equities segment also includes services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Revenue is recognized as we satisfy performance obligations, upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these services. Our contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple services to a customer. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For performance obligations satisfied over time, determining a measure of progress requires us to make significant judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognized. For certain advisory services, we have concluded that performance obligations are satisfied over time. This is based on the premise that we transfer control of services and the client simultaneously receives benefits from these services over the course of an engagement. For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, determining when control transfers requires us to make significant judgments that affect the timing of when revenue is recognized.

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. In some circumstances, and as a function of the terms of an engagement letter, we may receive fixed retainer fees for financial advisory services concurrent with, or soon after, the execution of the engagement letter or over the course of the engagement, where the engagement letter will specify a future service period associated with those fees. We may also receive announcement fees upon announcement of a transaction in addition to success fees upon closing of a transaction or another defined outcome, both of which represent variable consideration. This variable consideration will be included in the transaction price, as defined, and recognized as revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. When assessing probability, we apply careful analysis and judgment to the remaining factors necessary for completion of a transaction, including factors outside of our control. 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, to secure necessary board or shareholder approvals, to secure necessary financing, to achieve necessary regulatory approvals, or due to adverse market conditions. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees may be subject to approval of the court.

With respect to retainer, announcement and success fees in M&A transactions, there are no distinct performance obligations aside from advisory activities, which are generally focused on achieving a milestone (typically, the announcement and/or the closing of a transaction). These advisory services are provided over time throughout the contract period. We recognize revenue when distinct services are performed and when it is probable that a reversal of revenue will not occur, which is generally upon the announcement or closing of a transaction. Accordingly, in any given period, advisory fees recognized for certain transactions may relate to services performed in prior periods. In circumstances in which retainer fees are received in advance of services, these fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability), which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized in Advisory Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Announcement fees for advisory services are recognized upon announcement (the point at which it is determined that the reversal of revenue is not probable) and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. A portion of the announcement fee may be deferred based on the services remaining to be completed, if any. Success fees for advisory services, such as M&A advice, are recognized when it is determined that the reversal of revenue is not probable and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied, which is generally at closing of the transaction.

With respect to fairness or valuation opinions, fees are fixed and there is a distinct performance obligation, since the opinion is rendered separate from any other advisory activities. Revenues related to fairness or valuation opinions are recognized at the point in time when the opinion has been rendered and delivered to the client. In the event we were to receive an opinion or success fee in advance of the completion conditions noted above, such fee would initially be recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and subsequently recognized in Advisory Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the conditions of completion have been satisfied.

Placement fee revenues are attributable to capital raising for both corporations and financial sponsors. We recognize placement fees in accordance with the terms of the engagement letter, which are generally contingent on the achievement of a capital commitment by an investor, at the time of the client's acceptance of capital or capital commitments.

Underwriting fees are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized at the point in time when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group, or in the case of certain ongoing issuances when the sale of the securities has occurred. When the offering is completed, the performance obligation has been satisfied and we recognize the applicable management fee, selling concession, sales agent commission or placement agent fee. Offering expenses are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We also manage assignments involving the exchange of an issuer's securities where fees are recognized when earned.

Commissions and Related Revenue include commissions received from customers for the execution of agency-based brokerage transactions in listed and over-the-counter equities. The execution of each trade order represents a distinct performance obligation and the transaction price at the point in time of trade order execution is fixed. Trade execution is satisfied at the point in time that the customer has control of the asset and as such, fees are recorded on a trade date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, when earned. We also earn subscription fees for the sale of research, as well as revenues from trades primarily executed on a riskless principal basis. The delivery of research under subscription arrangements represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time. The fees are fixed and are recognized over the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized in Commissions and Related Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*Investment Management Revenue*

Our Investment Management segment generates revenues from the management of client assets and through interests in private equity funds which we do not manage. Our contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple services to a customer. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For performance obligations satisfied over time, determining a measure of progress requires us to make significant judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognized.

Asset management fees for third-party clients are generally based on the value of the assets under management and any performance fees that may be negotiated with the client. The management of asset portfolios represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time. These fees are generally recognized over the period that the related services are provided and in which the performance obligation is satisfied, based upon the beginning, ending or average value of the assets for the relevant period. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability), which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Asset Management and Administration Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related service is rendered.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Fees generated for serving as an independent fiduciary and/or trustee are either based on a flat fee, are pre-negotiated with the client or are based on the value of assets under administration. The management of assets under administration represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time. For ongoing engagements, fees are billed monthly or quarterly either in advance or in arrears. Fees paid in advance of services rendered and satisfaction of the performance obligation are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Asset Management and Administration Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered and the performance obligation is satisfied.

*Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets*

Accounts Receivable consists primarily of investment banking fees and expense reimbursements charged to our clients. We record accounts receivable, net of any allowance for credit losses, when relevant revenue recognition criteria has been achieved and payment is conditioned on the passage of time. We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide coverage for estimated losses from our client receivables. In accordance with ASC 326, *"Financial Instruments - Credit Losses*", we determine the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on 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. We have determined that long-term forecasted information is not relevant to our fee receivables, which are primarily short-term. We update our average credit loss rates periodically and maintain a quarterly allowance review process to consider current factors that would require an adjustment to the credit loss allowance. In addition, we periodically perform 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 financial assets and changes to expected credit losses during the period are recognized in earnings.

Our receivables collection periods are generally within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses, a portion of which may be collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for liability management and 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.

We record 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. We also recognize 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. We apply a practical expedient to expense costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the amortization period is one year or less.

***Valuation***

The valuation of our investments in securities and of our investments in private equity funds which we do not manage impacts both the carrying value of direct investments and the determination of management and performance fees, including carried interest. Per ASC 820, we disclose information about financial instruments carried at fair value, including their classification in the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 investments include U.S. Treasury securities, readily-marketable equity securities and investment funds. Level 2 investments include our foreign currency exchange forward contracts. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no Level 3 investments carried at fair value. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

ASC 825, "*Financial Instruments"* permits entities the option to measure most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates and to report related unrealized gains and losses in earnings. We have not elected to apply the fair value option to any specific financial assets or liabilities.

As of December 31, 2025, Level 3 financial liabilities include the contingent consideration liability issued in the acquisition of Robey Warshaw. As of December 31, 2024, we had no Level 3 financial liabilities carried at fair value. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

*Investment Securities and Futures and Forward Contracts*

Investment Securities may include investments in U.S. Treasury securities, other debt securities and investments in readily-marketable equity securities, including our portfolio of exchange-traded funds, which are accounted for under ASC 320-10, "*Investments - Debt Securities"* and ASC 321-10, *"Investments - Equity Securities."* These securities are carried at fair

We also periodically enter into futures contracts as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program and foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments. In accordance with ASC 815, *"Derivatives and Hedging,"* futures and forward contracts are carried at fair value.

Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and any unrealized gains and losses are recorded as net increases or decreases to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax, and realized gains and losses on these securities are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities are recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on futures contracts are recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. EGL also invests in fixed income portfolios consisting primarily of U.S. Treasury securities, which are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as required for broker-dealers in securities.

***Equity and Other Deferred Compensation***

We grant certain employees awards that vest upon the occurrence of market and/or performance criteria being achieved. Compensation cost is accrued if, and to the extent, it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved and is not accrued if it is not probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Significant judgment is required in determining the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved. The fair value of these awards is amortized over the vesting period or requisite substantive service period. The effect of a market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of an award and expense is recognized provided that the service condition is satisfied and to the extent that any performance condition is achieved. See Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

***Income Taxes***

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. This process requires us to estimate our actual current tax liability and to assess temporary differences resulting from differing book versus tax treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, compensation and benefits expense, unrealized gains and losses on long-term investments and depreciation. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We must then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not more-likely-than-not, we must establish a valuation allowance. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversals of deferred taxes, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies that can be implemented by us in making this assessment. If actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust our valuation allowance, which could materially impact our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

The tax deduction associated with the appreciation or depreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price is reflected in income tax expense.

In addition, in order to determine the quarterly tax rate, we are required to estimate full year pre-tax income and the related annual income tax expense in each jurisdiction. Changes in the geographic mix or estimated level of annual pre-tax income can affect our overall effective tax rate. Furthermore, our interpretation of complex tax laws may impact our measurement of current and deferred income taxes.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The majority of the deferred tax assets relate to the U.S. operations of the Company. The realization of the deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on the amount of the Company's historic and projected future taxable income for its U.S. and foreign operations. In 2025 and 2024, we performed an assessment of the ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets and determined that the Company should have sufficient future taxable income in the normal course of business to fully realize the portion of the deferred tax assets associated with its U.S. operations and management has concluded that it is more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will be realized. We also concluded that the net deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries required a valuation allowance. We intend to maintain a valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.

The Company estimates that Evercore Inc. must generate approximately $1.8 billion of future taxable income to realize the gross deferred tax asset balance, including the valuation allowance, of $446.9 million. The deferred tax balance is expected to reverse primarily over a period ranging from 5 to 15 taxable years. The Company evaluated Evercore Inc.'s historical U.S. taxable income, which has averaged approximately $519 million per year over the past 7 years, as well as the anticipated taxable income of approximately $460.9 million in 2025, and taxable income in the future, which indicates sufficient taxable income to support the realization of these deferred tax assets. To the extent enough taxable income is not generated in the 15 year estimated reversal period, the Company can carry forward net operating losses indefinitely, but limited to 80% of taxable income for that year.

See Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

***Impairment of Assets***

In accordance with ASC 350, we test goodwill for impairment annually, as of November 30<sup>th</sup>, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. In this process, we make estimates and assumptions in order to determine the fair value of our reporting units and to project future earnings using valuation techniques. We use our best judgment and information available to us at the time to perform this review. Because our assumptions and estimates are used in projecting future earnings as part of the valuation, actual results could differ. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives which are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC 360, "*Property, Plant, and Equipment."*

We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. In determining the fair value for each reporting unit, we utilize a market multiple approach and/or a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations. The market multiple approach includes applying the average earnings multiples of comparable public companies for their respective reporting segment multiplied by the forecasted earnings of the respective reporting unit to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology begins with the adjusted cash flows from each of the reporting units and uses a discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risks inherent in the future cash flows.

We recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

In addition to goodwill and intangible assets, we annually assess each of our equity method investments for impairment (or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred) per ASC 323-10, *"Investments* – *Equity Method and Joint Ventures."*

We concluded there was no impairment of goodwill, intangible assets or equity method investments during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

***Variable Interest Entities***

Our policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when we have the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and have the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We review 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 we are the primary beneficiary, we evaluate our economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by us. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

Evercore Inc.

New York, New York

**Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Evercore Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Basis for Opinion**

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Investment Banking & Equities Advisory Fee Revenue - Success Fees - Refer to Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements.**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

The Company recognizes advisory fee revenue, including success fees, as performance obligations are satisfied through the delivery of services to the Company's clients. However, the recognition of success fees, which are included in investment banking & equities advisory fee revenue, is generally constrained until it is probable that a significant reversal of the applicable

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6e56abfacb024135bd9b5ee20b83ffaa_7)</u> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

revenue will not occur in a future period. In certain instances, success fees may meet the criteria for recognition during a given reporting period although the transaction closed subsequent to the reporting period end.

The Company applies judgment in assessing whether revenue can be recognized for success fees, including consideration of factors outside of its control, to determine whether it is probable a significant reversal of the success fee revenue will not occur. A transaction can fail to be completed for reasons l, including but not limited to, a parties' inability to agree on final terms, failure to obtain necessary board or shareholder approvals, inability to secure necessary financing, failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, or adverse market conditions.

We identified the recognition of success fees at year end as a critical audit matter because auditor judgment is required to determine if all the conditions to recognize revenue have been met prior to close of the transaction.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the timing of recording success fee revenue for investment banking & equities advisory services at year end included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We tested the effectiveness of the control activities related to the evaluation of whether success fees can be recognized as revenue, including those related to the timing of revenue recognition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We selected a sample of contracts with clients for which revenue was recognized prior to December 31, 2025 as well as the period subsequent to year end and performed the following:

–Evaluated whether the Company appropriately identified performance obligations and recognized revenue in the correct period by obtaining and evaluating evidence, including, but not limited to, inquiry with management, transaction close documents, press releases, confirmations, court approvals, executed agreements and communications, regarding the extent of uncertainty associated with variable consideration.

–Evaluated whether it was probable that a significant reversal of the applicable revenue would not occur.

**EVERCORE INC.**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

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

**Note 1 – Organization**

Evercore Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"), is an investment banking and investment management firm, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in New York, New York. The Company is a holding company which owns a controlling interest in, and is the sole general partner of, Evercore LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Evercore LP"). The Company operates from its offices and through its affiliates in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

The Investment Banking & Equities segment includes the investment banking business through which the Company provides advice to clients on significant mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, shareholder activism and other strategic corporate transactions, with a particular focus on advising prominent multinational corporations and substantial private equity firms on large, complex transactions. The Company also provides liability management and restructuring advice to companies in financial transition, as well as to creditors, shareholders and potential acquirers. In addition, the Company provides its clients with capital markets advice, underwrites securities offerings, raises funds for financial sponsors and provides advisory services focused on partnerships and private funds interests, as well as on primary and secondary transactions for real estate oriented financial sponsors and private equity interests. The Investment Banking & Equities segment also includes the equities business through which the Company offers macroeconomic, policy and fundamental equity research and agency-based equity securities trading for institutional investors. The Company's interest in Seneca Advisors LTDA ("Seneca Evercore"), which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the Company's former interest in Luminis Partners ("Luminis", through September 2024), are also reflected in the Investment Banking & Equities segment. In 2025, the Company acquired Robey Warshaw, an independent advisory firm headquartered in the United Kingdom.

The Investment Management segment includes the wealth management business through which the Company provides investment advisory, wealth management and fiduciary services for high-net-worth individuals and associated entities, and the private equity business, which holds interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company. The Investment Management segment also includes an interest in Atalanta Sosnoff Capital, LLC ("Atalanta Sosnoff"), which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the Company's former interest in ABS Investment Management Holdings LP and ABS Investment Management GP LLC (collectively, "ABS", through July 2024).

**Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies**

***Basis of Presentation*** – The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

The 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., and Evercore Partners International LLP ("Evercore U.K."), an investment firm in the U.K. 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 24.

Evercore ISI International Limited ("Evercore ISI U.K."), Evercore U.K., Evercore (Japan) Ltd. ("Evercore Japan"), Evercore Consulting (Beijing) Co. Ltd. ("Evercore Beijing"), Evercore Partners Canada Ltd. ("Evercore Canada"), Evercore Asia Limited ("Evercore Hong Kong"), Evercore Asia (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. ("Evercore Singapore") and PT Evercore Advisory Indonesia ("Evercore Indonesia") are also VIEs, and the Company is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. Specifically for Evercore ISI U.K., Evercore Japan, Evercore Beijing, Evercore Canada, Evercore Hong Kong, Evercore Singapore (as of January 1, 2025 for Evercore Singapore) and Evercore Indonesia (as of June 1, 2025 for Evercore Indonesia), 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 Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition Evercore ISI U.K., Evercore U.K., Evercore Japan, Evercore Beijing, Evercore Canada, Evercore Hong Kong, Evercore Singapore and Evercore Indonesia assets of $1,269,753 and liabilities of $485,879 at December 31, 2025 and Evercore ISI U.K., Evercore U.K., Evercore Japan, Evercore Beijing, Evercore Canada and Evercore Hong Kong assets of $581,814 and liabilities of $246,321 at December 31, 2024.

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

*Evercore LP partnership units*

*Class A LP Units* – At the time of the Company's initial public offering, the members of Evercore LP (the "Members") received Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class A LP Units") in consideration for their contribution of the various entities included in the historical combined financial statements of the Company. The Class A LP Units were subject to vesting requirements and transfer restrictions and are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock of the Company ("Class A Shares"). Periodically, certain employees of the Company purchase vested Class A LP Units at fair value at the time of purchase. At December 31, 2013, all Class A LP Units were fully vested.

*Class E LP Units* – In conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of International Strategy & Investment ("ISI") in 2014, the Company issued Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units"), which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A Shares. At December 31, 2020, all Class E LP Units were fully vested.

*Class I LP Units* – In conjunction with the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer (then Executive Chairman), the Company issued unvested Class I-P Units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units"). The Class I-P Units were contingently exchangeable into Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units"), which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A Shares. At December 31, 2022, all Class I LP Units were fully vested.

*Class K LP Units* – The Company periodically awards unvested Class K-P Units of Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units"). The Class K-P Units convert into Class K limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class K LP Units"), contingent and based upon the achievement of certain market, performance and service conditions. The Class K LP Units are ultimately exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A Shares.

See Note 18 for further information on Evercore LP partnership units ("LP Units") where exchangeability is subject to performance and/or market conditions.

The Company accounts for exchanges of LP Units for Class A Shares based on the carrying amounts of the LP Units immediately before the exchange.

The Company's interest in Evercore LP is within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810-20, "*Control of Partnerships and Similar Entities."* The Company consolidates Evercore LP and records noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held directly by others, which includes the Members.

***Revenue Recognition*** – The Company accounts for revenue recognition under ASC 606, *"Revenue from Contracts with Customers,"* ("ASC 606"), which provides a five step model to revenue recognition as follows:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

The Company applies this model to revenue streams from its Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management segments.

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

***Investment Banking & Equities Revenue*** – The Company earns fees from clients for providing advisory services on strategic matters, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, liability management and restructurings, activism and defense and similar corporate finance matters. The Company's Investment Banking & Equities segment also includes services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Revenue is recognized as the Company satisfies performance obligations, upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for these services. The Company's contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple services to a customer. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For performance obligations satisfied over time, determining a measure of progress requires the Company to make significant judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognized. For certain advisory services, the Company has concluded that performance obligations are satisfied over time. This is based on the premise that the Company transfers control of services and the client simultaneously receives benefits from these services over the course of an engagement. For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, determining when control transfers requires the Company to make significant judgments that affect the timing of when revenue is recognized. The Company records revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the following:

***Advisory Fees*** – In general, advisory fees are paid at the time the Company signs an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. In some circumstances, and as a function of the terms of an engagement letter, the Company may receive fixed retainer fees for financial advisory services concurrent with, or soon after, the execution of the engagement letter or over the course of the engagement, where the engagement letter will specify a future service period associated with those fees. The Company may also receive announcement fees upon announcement of a transaction in addition to success fees upon closing of a transaction or another defined outcome, both of which represent variable consideration. This variable consideration will be included in the transaction price, as defined, and recognized as revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. When assessing probability, the Company applies careful analysis and judgment to the remaining factors necessary for completion of a transaction, including factors outside of the Company's control. A transaction can fail to be completed for many reasons which are outside of the Company's control, including failure of parties to agree upon final terms, to secure necessary board or shareholder approvals, to secure necessary financing, to achieve necessary regulatory approvals, or due to adverse market conditions. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees may be subject to court approval.

With respect to retainer, announcement and success fees in merger and acquisition ("M&A") transactions, there are no distinct performance obligations aside from advisory activities, which are generally focused on achieving a milestone (typically, the announcement and/or the closing of a transaction). These advisory services are provided over time throughout the contract period. The Company recognizes revenue when distinct services are performed and when it is probable that a reversal of revenue will not occur, which is generally upon the announcement or closing of a transaction. Accordingly, in any given period, advisory fees recognized for certain transactions may relate to services performed in prior periods. In circumstances in which retainer fees are received in advance of services, these fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability), which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized in Advisory Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered. Announcement fees for advisory services are recognized upon announcement (the point at which it is determined that the reversal of revenue is not probable) and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. A portion of the announcement fee may be deferred based on the services remaining to be completed, if any. Success fees for advisory services, such as M&A advice, are recognized when it is determined that the reversal of revenue is not probable and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied, which is generally at closing of the transaction.

With respect to fairness or valuation opinions, fees are fixed and there is a distinct performance obligation, since the opinion is rendered separate from any other advisory activities. Revenues related to fairness or valuation opinions are recognized at the point in time when the opinion has been rendered and delivered to the client. In the event the Company was to receive an opinion or success fee in advance of the completion conditions noted above, such fee would initially be recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and subsequently recognized in Advisory Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the conditions of completion have been satisfied.

Placement fee revenues are attributable to capital raising for both corporations and financial sponsors. The Company recognizes placement fees in accordance with the terms of the engagement letter, which are generally contingent on the

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

achievement of a capital commitment by an investor, at the time of the client's acceptance of capital or capital commitments.

***Underwriting Fees*** – Underwriting fees are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized at the point in time when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group, or in the case of certain ongoing issuances when the sale of the securities has occurred. When the offering is completed, the performance obligation has been satisfied and the Company recognizes the applicable management fee, selling concession, sales agent commission or placement agent fee. Offering expenses are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also manages assignments involving the exchange of an issuer's securities where fees are recognized when earned.

***Commissions and Related Revenue*** – Commissions and Related Revenue include commissions received from customers for the execution of agency-based brokerage transactions in listed and over-the-counter equities. The execution of each trade order represents a distinct performance obligation and the transaction price at the point in time of trade order execution is fixed. Trade execution is satisfied at the point in time that the customer has control of the asset and as such, fees are recorded on a trade date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, when earned. The Company also earns subscription fees for the sale of research, as well as revenues from trades primarily executed on a riskless principal basis. The delivery of research under subscription arrangements represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time. The fees are fixed and are recognized over the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized in Commissions and Related Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

***Asset Management and Administration Fees*** – The Company's Investment Management segment generates revenues from the management of client assets and through interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company. The Company's contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple services to a customer. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For performance obligations satisfied over time, determining a measure of progress requires the Company to make significant judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognized.

Asset management fees for third-party clients are generally based on the value of the assets under management and any performance fees that may be negotiated with the client. The management of asset portfolios represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time. These fees are generally recognized over the period that the related services are provided and in which the performance obligation is satisfied, based upon the beginning, ending or average value of the assets for the relevant period. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability), which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Asset Management and Administration Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related service is rendered.

Fees generated for serving as an independent fiduciary and/or trustee are either based on a flat fee, are pre-negotiated with the client or are based on the value of assets under administration. The management of assets under administration represents a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over time. For ongoing engagements, fees are billed monthly or quarterly either in advance or in arrears. Fees paid in advance of services rendered and satisfaction of the performance obligation are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Asset Management and Administration Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered and the performance obligation is satisfied.

***Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, and Interest Expense*** – Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Interest income, including accretion, and income (losses) on investment securities, including the Company's investment funds (which are used as an economic hedge against the Company's deferred cash compensation program), certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents and long-term accounts receivable

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A gain on the sale of the remaining portion of the Company's interest in ABS in 2024. See Note 10 for further information

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A loss related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange losses resulting from the redemption of the Company's interest in Luminis in 2024. See Note 10 for further information

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency exchange forward contracts used as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interests in private equity funds which the Company does not manage

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjustments to amounts due pursuant to the Company's tax receivable agreement, subsequent to its initial establishment, related to changes in enacted tax rates

Interest Expense includes interest expense associated with the Company's Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements, including interest expense related to deferred acquisition consideration and mandatorily redeemable interests.

***Client Expense Reimbursement*** – In the conduct of its financial advisory service engagements, the Company receives reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by the Company in the course of performing services. Transaction-related expenses, which are billable to clients, are recognized as revenue and recorded in Accounts Receivable on the later of the date of an executed engagement letter or the date the expense is incurred.

***Noncontrolling Interest*** – Noncontrolling interest recorded in the consolidated financial statements relates to the portions of the Company's subsidiaries not owned by the Company. The Company allocates net income to 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 for 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 (losses) to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, the net income or loss of these entities is allocated based on these special allocations.

Noncontrolling Interest is presented as a component of Total Equity on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and below Net Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, there is an allocation of the components of Total Comprehensive Income between controlling interests and noncontrolling interests. Changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains control of its subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions.

See Note 16 for further information.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments*** – The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value. Such assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, investments, receivables and payables and accruals. See Note 11 for further information.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents*** – Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of short-term highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

***Investment Securities and Certificates of Deposit and Futures and Forward Contracts*** – Investment Securities may include investments in U.S. Treasury securities, other debt securities and investments in readily-marketable equity securities, including the Company's portfolio of exchange-traded funds, which are accounted for under ASC 320-10, "*Investments - Debt Securities"* and ASC 321-10, "*Investments - Equity Securities,"* ("ASC 321-10"). The securities are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition; debt securities are valued based on quoted prices that exist in the marketplace for similar issues and equity securities are valued using quoted market prices on applicable exchanges or markets. Investment Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. The Company also periodically enters into futures contracts as an economic hedge against the Company's deferred cash compensation program and foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments. In accordance with ASC 815, *"Derivatives and Hedging,"* ("ASC 815"), futures and forward contracts are carried at fair value.

Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and any unrealized gains and losses are recorded as net increases or decreases to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax, and realized gains and losses on these securities are

included in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities and futures contracts are recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. EGL also invests in fixed income portfolios consisting of U.S. Treasury securities, which are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as required for broker-dealers in securities. Certificates of Deposit consist of investments with certain banks with original maturities of four months or less when purchased.

See Note 8 for further information.

***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 credit losses, when relevant revenue recognition criteria has been achieved and payment is conditioned on the passage of time. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide coverage for estimated losses from its client receivables. In accordance with ASC 326, *"Financial Instruments - Credit Losses"*, 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 financial assets and changes to expected credit losses during the period are recognized in earnings.

The Company's receivables collection periods are generally within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses, a portion of which may be collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for liability management and 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.

See Note 4 for further information.

***Investments*** – The Company's investments include investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies and other investments in private equity partnerships:

***Affiliates*** – The Company has equity interests in Atalanta Sosnoff, Seneca Evercore, ABS (through July 2024) and Luminis (through September 2024) and includes its share of the income (losses) from these entities within Income from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company assesses each of its equity method investments annually for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

***Private Equity*** – The investments in private equity funds consist primarily of investments in marketable and non-marketable securities of the portfolio companies. The underlying investments held by the private equity funds are valued based on quoted market prices or estimated fair value if there is no public market. The fair value of non-marketable securities is determined by giving consideration to a range of factors, including but not limited to, market conditions, operating performance (current and projected) and subsequent financing transactions. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation of these non-marketable securities, estimated values may materially differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for these investments. Investments in publicly-traded securities held by the private equity funds are valued using quoted market prices. The Company recognizes its allocable share of the changes in fair value of the private equity funds' underlying investments as realized and unrealized gains (losses) within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

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

***Other Investments*** – The Company also maintains investments in Glisco Manager Holdings LP and equity securities in private companies, which are accounted for as equity securities without readily determinable fair values in accordance with ASC 321-10. The Company assesses these investments quarterly for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

See Note 10 for further information.

***Leases*** – Pursuant to ASC 842, *"Leases"* ("ASC 842"), the Company includes the impact of all leases, including short-term leases, on its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts for leases for the use of office space and equipment. Operating leases for office space generally contain payments for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses in addition to rent payments that are not fixed; the Company accounts for these costs as variable payments and does not include these as part of the lease component.

The present values of the Company's lease commitments are reflected as long-term assets, within Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets, with corresponding liabilities classified as current and non-current, within Operating Lease Liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for their lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from these leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to certain adjustments for lease incentives and initial direct costs. The lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.

Operating lease expense is included in Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

See Note 9 for further information.

***Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements*** – Fixed assets, including equipment, hardware and software and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Furniture, equipment and computer hardware and software are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset. Certain costs associated with the acquisition or development of internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements are also capitalized. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software or hosting arrangement. Capitalized costs associated with cloud computing arrangements are presented in the same line item on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition that a prepayment of the fees for the associated hosting arrangement is presented in (within Other Assets). The capitalized costs associated with cloud computing arrangements are amortized over the term of the arrangement and the expense is presented in the same line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement (within Technology and Information Services).

See Note 12 for further information.

***Goodwill and Intangible Assets*** – Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, as of November 30<sup>th</sup>, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company assesses whether any goodwill allocated to its applicable reporting unit is impaired by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its respective carrying amount. For acquired businesses, contingent consideration is recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and at subsequent reporting periods.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. In determining the fair value for each reporting unit the Company utilizes either a market multiple approach or a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations, or a weighted combination of both a market multiple approach and discounted cash flow methodology. The market multiple approach includes applying the average earnings multiples of comparable public companies for their respective reporting unit multiplied by the forecasted earnings of the respective reporting unit to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology begins with the forecasted adjusted cash flows from each of the reporting units and uses a discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risks inherent in the future cash flows.

**EVERCORE INC.**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

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

The Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, in accordance with ASC 360, "*Property, Plant, and Equipment"* ("ASC 360")*.*

See Note 5 for further information.

***Compensation and Benefits*** – Compensation includes salaries, bonuses (discretionary awards and guaranteed amounts), severance, deferred cash and share-based compensation, and other benefits. Cash bonuses are accrued over the respective service periods to which they relate and deferred cash and share-based grants are expensed prospectively over their requisite service period, subject to acceleration in certain cases.

The Company's medical insurance plan in the U.S. is a self-funded plan and the Company is liable for the funding of claims under the plan. The Company also maintains stop-loss insurance for its medical plan to provide coverage for claims over a defined financial threshold. In accordance with ASC 405-30, "*Liabilities - Insurance-Related Assessments*", the Company accrues losses for the total cost of both asserted and unasserted claims. The cost of incurred but not reported claims is measured at the present value, as applicable, of the estimated ultimate cost to the plan of settling those claims. See Note 14 for further information.

***Share-Based Payments and Other Deferred Compensation*** – The Company issues share-based and deferred cash compensation awards as part of its annual bonus awards, in conjunction with new hire arrangements or for the purpose of incentive or retention. Periodically, incentive awards granted include both performance and service-based vesting requirements and, in certain awards, market-based requirements.

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). As such, the grant date fair value of share-based compensation awards that require future service is amortized over the applicable requisite service period of the award. Expense related to share-based and deferred cash compensation awards to employees is included within Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expense is recognized for awards with performance conditions if, and to the extent, it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The effect of a market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of an award and expense is recognized provided that the service condition is satisfied and to the extent that any performance condition is achieved. Awards made to employees who are, or will become, retirement eligible prior to the stated vesting date are amortized over the expected substantive service period of the award.

Awards classified as liabilities as required under ASC 718, such as cash settled share-based awards, are re-measured at fair value at each reporting period.

See Note 18 for further information.

***Foreign Currency Translation*** – Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been translated at rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the periods presented. Income and expenses transacted in foreign currency have been translated at average monthly exchange rates during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), net, as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Transactional exchange gains and losses, as well as releases of cumulative foreign currency translation gains and losses from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

***Income Taxes*** – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "*Income Taxes"* ("ASC 740"), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. Such temporary differences are reflected on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company accounts for the impact of changes in statutory income tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the year of enactment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant management

judgment is required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets.

Excess tax benefits and deficiencies from the delivery of Class A Shares under share-based payment arrangements are recognized in the Company's Provision for Income Taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

See Note 21 for further information.

***Reclassifications* –** During 2025, certain balances on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation, with no impact on previously reported Net Income.

***Technology and Information Services* –** The Company renamed "Communications and Information Services" to "Technology and Information Services" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and reclassified $39,521 and $35,060 of technology and related expenses from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services" for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis and elected the practical expedient provided by ASU 2025-05.

(2)Included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

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 $28,129, $23,302 and $29,587 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that was initially included in deferred revenue within Other Current Liabilities on the Company's 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 years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

| Write-offs, foreign currency translation and other adjustments | (4905) | (5684) |
| Ending Balance | $2983 | $2253 |

---

The change in the balance during the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily related to an increase in the Company's reserve for credit losses, partially offset by the write-off of aged receivables.

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, primarily from the Company's private and secondary fund advisory businesses, as of December 31, 2025, by year of origination:

***Robey Warshaw***

On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Robey Warshaw, an independent advisory firm headquartered in the United Kingdom. The transaction closed on October 1, 2025.

As consideration for the acquisition, the Company delivered to the sellers £71,250 ($95,767) at closing in the form of 275 Class A Shares, as well as cash of $5,345. Of the £71,250 delivered in Class A Shares at closing, £62,700 ($84,275) is subject to repayment if the sellers fail to provide service over a four-year period following the acquisition and, as such, will be treated as compensation for accounting purposes. See Note 18 for further information. Additionally, the Company will deliver to the sellers £74,813 ($100,796) due on the first anniversary of the closing (in Class A Shares or cash), the present value of which was $94,893 at closing and is classified within Payable to Employees and Related Parties on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2025. The sellers are also entitled to contingent consideration, which had a fair value of $24,521 as of December 31, 2025, and will be payable on various dates between closing and shortly following the sixth anniversary of closing, dependent on the achievement of certain performance thresholds over a multi-year period. This contingent consideration was recorded, at fair value, within Other Long-term Liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2025.

This transaction resulted in the Company recognizing goodwill of $102,221 at closing, as well as intangible assets relating to advisory backlog of $10,887 and client relationships of $22,850, recognized in the Investment Banking & Equities segment. These intangible assets are being amortized over an estimated useful life of 18 months and three years, respectively. The Company recognized $3,660 of amortization expense related to these intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2025.

As part of the consideration transferred to the sellers, the Company also issued performance-based awards which are treated as compensation for accounting purposes. Furthermore, the Company also granted retention awards to Robey Warshaw employees joining the Company which are treated as compensation for accounting purposes. See Note 18 for further information.

| Total | $877606 | $877803 | $813507 | $813804 |

---

The Company has the ability and intent to hold available-for-sale securities until a recovery of fair value is equal to an amount approximating its amortized cost, which may be at maturity. Further, the securities are all U.S. Treasury securities and the Company has not incurred credit losses on its securities.

**Note 9 – Leases**

***Operating Leases*** – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2035. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis, which include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office space of $72,250, $60,159 and $56,202 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and variable lease cost, which principally include costs for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses of $7,322, $5,815 and $5,548 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In conjunction with the lease of office space, the Company has entered into letters of credit in the amount of $6,037 and $5,886 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are secured by cash that is included in Other Assets on the 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office equipment of $6,537, $6,372 and $5,663 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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 $76,086, $45,572 and $46,030 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to its operating leases, which was net of cash received from lease incentives of $8,128, $2,666 and $5,599 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company has entered into certain lease agreements, primarily for office space, which have not yet commenced and thus are not yet included on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company anticipates that these leases will commence in 2026 and will have lease terms of 1 to 8 years once they have commenced. The additional future payments under these arrangements are $4,956 as of December 31, 2025.

In September 2024, the Company entered into a binding agreement affirming its intent to lease office space in London, United Kingdom. The Company anticipates signing the lease in 2026, following construction of the building, and anticipates that it will take possession of this space by the end of 2026. The lease term will end in 2041. The expected approximate additional annual expense under this lease agreement, net of certain lease incentives, is £12,000, and the aggregate expected additional future payments under this arrangement are £175,000.

**Note 10 – Investments**

The Company's investments reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition consist of investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies, other investments in private equity partnerships and equity securities in private companies. The Company's investments are relatively high-risk and illiquid assets.

The Company assesses each of its equity method investments for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

***Investments in Private Equity***

*<u>Private Equity Funds</u>*

The Company's investments related to private equity partnerships and associated entities include investments in Glisco Partners II, L.P. ("Glisco II"), Glisco Partners III, L.P. ("Glisco III"), Glisco Capital Partners IV ("Glisco IV"), Trilantic Capital Partners Associates IV, L.P. ("Trilantic IV", through December 2025) and Trilantic Capital Partners V, L.P. ("Trilantic V"). Portfolio holdings of the private equity funds are carried at fair value. Accordingly, the Company reflects its pro rata share of unrealized gains and losses occurring from changes in fair value, as well as 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31,** | **December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Glisco II, Glisco III and Glisco IV | $1927 | $3569 |
| Trilantic IV and Trilantic V | 725 | 1862 |
| Total Private Equity Funds | $2652 | $5431 |

---

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on private equity fund investments were ($1,120), ($101) and $946 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In the event the funds perform poorly, the Company may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of December 31, 2025, there was no previously distributed carried interest received from the funds subject to repayment.

*<u>General Partners of Private Equity Funds which are VIEs</u>*

The Company has 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 $1,327 and $2,956 included in its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $3,510 and $5,138, 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.

***Other Investments***

In certain instances, the Company makes investments in private companies in exchange for equity securities and warrants, or receives equity securities in private companies in exchange for advisory services. These investments, which had a balance of $1,673 and $625 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are accounted for at their cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.

**Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements**

ASC 820, *"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures"* ("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.

**EVERCORE INC.**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

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

Investments and certain other financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level 1 include listed equities, listed derivatives and U.S. Treasury securities. 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 2 – 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. Periodically, the Company holds investments in corporate bonds, municipal bonds and other debt securities, the estimated fair values of which are based on prices provided by external pricing services. The Company also periodically holds foreign exchange currency forward contracts, the estimated fair value of which is based on foreign currency exchange rates provided by external services.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity. 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 and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

(1)Includes $23,108 and $9,967 of U.S. Treasury securities classified within Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(2)The contingent consideration liability is initially recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and is included within Other Long-term Liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is remeasured at each reporting period using the probability-weighted expected return method. The inputs used to derive the fair value of the contingent consideration include the application of probabilities when assessing certain performance thresholds for the relevant periods. Any change in the fair value is recognized in Other Operating Expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. There was no change in the fair value of this liability from acquisition to December 31, 2025.

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.

(1)The Company has outstanding LP Units, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one-for-one basis. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, these 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 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 2,238, 2,500 and 2,769 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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 $37,413, $26,541 and $20,442 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all 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 LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods.

(2)The Company has outstanding Class K-P Units which are contingently exchangeable into Class K LP Units, and ultimately Class A Shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. The Company also has certain outstanding RSUs and acquisition-related awards which vest contingent upon certain performance thresholds being achieved. See Note 18 for further information. For the purpose of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders, the Company's Class K-P Units and these certain outstanding RSUs and acquisition-related awards are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method, 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 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.

As of December 31, 2025, 693 unvested Class K-P Units were outstanding. The Company determined the grant date fair value of these awards probable to vest as of December 31, 2025 to be $240,398, related to 1,509 Class K LP Units which were probable of achievement, and recognizes expense for these units over the respective service periods. Aggregate compensation expense related to the Class K-P Units was $71,628, $45,962 and $24,058 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, the total compensation cost not yet recognized related to the Class K-P Units based on the value of units currently expected to vest was $148,128. The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 39 months.

***Class L Interests*** 

In January 2023, 2024 and 2025, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests of Evercore LP ("Class L Interests") to certain of the named executive officers of the Company, pursuant to which the named executive officers received a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, paid in the first quarters of 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. Distributions pursuant to these interests are made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to those named executive officers of the Company in respect of their service for 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Following the distributions, the Class L Interests are cancelled pursuant to their terms.

The Company records expense related to these Class L Interests as part of its accrual for incentive compensation within Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In January 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests to certain of the named executive officers of the Company, pursuant to which those named executive officers may receive a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, to be paid in the first quarter of 2027.

***Stock Incentive Plan***

During 2024, the Company's stockholders approved the Third Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Third Amended 2016 Plan"), which amended the Second Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. The Third Amended 2016 Plan, among other things, authorizes the grant of an additional 6,000 of the Company's Class A Shares and permits the Company to grant to certain 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 Third Amended 2016 Plan and its predecessor plan. Class A Shares underlying any award granted under the Third Amended 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 plan. The total shares available to be granted in the future under the Third Amended 2016 Plan was 6,570 as of December 31, 2025, approximately 1,600 of which were used for RSUs granted in the first quarter of 2026, as described below.

The Company also grants, at its discretion, dividend equivalents, in the form of deferred cash dividends or unvested RSU awards, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A Shares, on all unvested and vested RSU grants. 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.

The Company had 103 RSUs which were fully vested but not delivered as of December 31, 2025.

*Equity Grants*

**2025 Equity Grants.** During 2025, pursuant to the Third Amended 2016 Plan, the Company granted employees 1,872 RSUs that are subject to service-based vesting requirements ("Service-based Awards").

In conjunction with the acquisition of Robey Warshaw, the Company will also deliver consideration in the form of Class A Shares if certain defined benchmark results are exceeded over a five-year performance period, beginning January 1, 2026. This consideration is treated as compensation for accounting purposes. The expense for this award will be recognized over the five-year performance period of the award and will reflect the fair value of the Class A Shares as determined at the award's grant date, as well as the probable outcome of the performance condition. The Company determined that the performance conditions related to this award were not probable of achievement as of December 31, 2025.

---

Restricted Cash included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition primarily represents letters of credit which are secured by cash as collateral for the lease of office space and security deposits for certain equipment. The restrictions will lapse when the leases end.

***Foreign Exchange*** – Periodically, the Company enters into foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments.

During 2025, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts to buy 200,000 British Pounds sterling for $270,600 and to sell 71,250 British Pounds sterling for $96,401, both of which settled in 2025. The Company recorded a net loss on these contracts of $1,055 for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30,000 British Pounds sterling for $36,903, which settled during the third quarter of 2023, and resulted in a loss of $303 for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

***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, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai, Saudi, Indonesian 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, 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"* when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to employment and tax laws, regulations and treaties in various U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. These laws, regulations and treaties are complex, and the manner in which they apply to the Company's facts and circumstances is open to evolving interpretation. Although management believes it has applied these laws, regulations and treaties in a compliant manner, a recent interpretation reached by a judicial authority has challenged the employment tax treatment of members of a partnership which is not affiliated with the Company. While that challenge remains subject to a

judicial review process, and the Company and its subsidiaries are not a party to the proceedings, the ultimate outcome may adversely impact the Company's tax position.

**Note 20 – Regulatory Authorities**

EGL is a U.S. registered broker-dealer and is subject to the net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Under the Alternative Net Capital Requirement, EGL's minimum net capital requirement is $250. EGL's regulatory net capital as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $373,081 and $475,936, respectively, which exceeded the minimum net capital requirement by $372,831 and $475,686, respectively.

Evercore Trust Company, N.A. ("ETC"), which is limited to fiduciary activities, is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System. The Company, Evercore LP and ETC are subject to written agreements with the OCC that, among other things, require the Company and Evercore LP to maintain at least $5,000 in Tier 1 capital in ETC (or such other amount as the OCC may require) and maintain liquid assets in ETC in an amount at least equal to the greater of $3,500 or 180 days coverage of ETC's operating expenses. The Company was in compliance with the aforementioned agreements as of December 31, 2025.

Evercore U.K., our U.K. Advisory affiliate, and Evercore ISI U.K., our U.K. Equities affiliate, are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The aggregate regulatory capital of these affiliates as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $571,742 and $232,039, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $272,911 and $139,208, 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.

**Note 21 – Income Taxes**

A portion of the Company's income is subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes and is taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Taxes Payable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $15,942 and $4,781, respectively.

In October 2021, members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") agreed on a two-pillar tax framework to realign international taxation with economic activities, including a coordinated set of rules designed to ensure large multinational enterprises pay a minimum 15% tax rate across all jurisdictions, known as Pillar Two. The U.S. has not yet adopted these rules, but several countries have enacted Pillar Two with an effective date beginning January 1, 2024. The impact of Pillar Two on the Company's effective tax rate during the year was not material and it is not expected to materially impact the Company's effective tax rate in the future.

Additionally, the Company is subject to the income tax effects associated with the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions in the period incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, no additional income tax expense associated with the GILTI provisions has been recognized.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted House Resolution 1 of the 119th Congress ("the Act"). The Act makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and beginning after December 31, 2025, updates for Net CFC Tested Income (formerly GILTI), which is not expected to materially impact the Company's effective tax rate for the year.

The following table presents the U.S. and non-U.S. components of Income before income tax expense:

The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 reflects the application of ASU 2016-09, *"Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting"* ("ASU 2016-09"), which requires that the tax deduction associated with the appreciation or depreciation in the Company's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price be reflected in income tax expense. The Company's Provision for Income Taxes reflects an additional tax benefit of $78,518, $35,086 and $13,699 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the application of ASU 2016-09, and resulted in a reduction in the effective tax rate of 9.9, 6.6 and 3.7 percentage points for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2025, 2024 and 2023 also reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including expenses related to Class K-P Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments.

Deferred income taxes are provided for the effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These temporary differences result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Details of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

(2)Step-up in the tax basis associated with the exchange of LP Units for holders which do not have a tax receivable agreement.

The $12,853 increase in net deferred tax assets from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025 was primarily related to additions to deferred compensation expense exceeding the grant date value of prior awards which vested during the period, included in Compensation and Benefits, including the impact of the excess current year step-ups in the basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP over amortization, as discussed below. Net deferred tax liabilities in 2025 resulted from the tax effects of the Robey Warshaw acquisition.

During 2025, the LP holders exchanged 117 Class A, Class E and Class K LP Units for Class A Shares, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP. The exchange of certain Class E and Class A LP Units resulted in a $9,353 step-up in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP and a corresponding increase to Additional Paid-In Capital on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2025. Further, there was an exchange of 249 Class A LP Units that triggered an additional liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement that was entered into in 2006 between the Company and the LP Unit holders for the year ended December 31, 2025. The agreement provides for a payment to the LP Unit holders of 85% of the cash tax savings (if any), resulting from the increased tax benefits from the exchange and for the Company to retain 15% of such benefits. Accordingly, Deferred Tax Assets, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements and Additional Paid-In Capital increased $20,966, $17,821 and

**Note 22 – Concentrations of Credit Risk**

Financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, foreign government obligations and receivables from clients. The Company has placed substantially all of its Cash and Cash Equivalents in interest-bearing deposits in U.S. commercial banks and U.S. investment banks that meet certain rating and capital requirements, as well as U.S. Treasury securities. The Company's foreign subsidiaries maintain substantially all of their Cash and Cash Equivalents in interest bearing accounts at large commercial banking institutions domiciled in their respective countries of operation. Concentrations of credit risk are limited due to the quality of the Company's clients.

***Credit Risks***

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents, as well as certificates of deposit, with financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, the Company 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 the Company's excess cash position to a money market fund. However, the Company believes that it is 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 clients. Other Assets includes long-term receivables primarily from fees related to private funds capital raising and certain fees related to the private capital businesses. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for credit losses. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide coverage for probable losses from customer receivables and determines the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the Company's analysis of historical credit loss experience of the Company's client receivables, and taking into consideration current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company's receivables collection periods are generally within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses, a portion of which may be collected in a period exceeding one year (see Note 4 for further information). The collection period for liability management and 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.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, total receivables recorded in Accounts Receivable amounted to $555,812 and $421,502, respectively, net of an allowance, and total receivables recorded in Other Assets amounted to $129,853 and $101,314, respectively. The Company recorded bad debt expense of $5,635, $2,334 and $5,559 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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 December 31, 2025, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $147,444 and

$27,905, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $62,379 and $14,477, respectively.

With respect to the Company's Investment Securities portfolio, which is comprised of U.S. Treasury securities, exchange-traded funds and securities investments, the Company manages its credit risk exposure by limiting concentration risk and maintaining investment grade credit quality. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had Investment Securities of $1,540,217, of which 89% were U.S. Treasury securities and 11% were equity securities and exchange-traded funds, and Certificates of Deposit of $40,421 with financial institutions with high credit ratings.

Periodically, the Company provides compensation to new and existing employees in the form of loans and/or other cash awards, which include a requirement of either full or partial repayment of these awards based on the terms of their employment agreements with the Company. See Note 18 for further information.

**Note 23 – Segment Operating Results**

***Business Segments*** – The Company's business results are categorized into the following two segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. The Investment Banking & Equities segment includes providing advice to clients on significant 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. The Investment Banking & Equities segment also includes an interest in Seneca Evercore, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and previously included an interest in Luminis (through September 2024). The Investment Management segment includes Wealth Management and interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company, as well as an interest in Atalanta Sosnoff, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and previously included an interest in ABS (through July 2024).

The Company's segment information is prepared using the following methodology:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount, square footage and other performance and time-based factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment, or for certain assets shared across segments, those assets are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount and other factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Investment gains and losses, interest income and interest expense are allocated between the segments based on the segment in which the underlying asset or liability is held.

Other Revenue, net, included in each segment's Net Revenues includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Interest income, including accretion, and income (losses) on investment securities, including the Company's investment funds (which are used as an economic hedge against the Company's deferred cash compensation program), certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents and long-term accounts receivable

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A gain on the sale of the remaining portion of the Company's interest in ABS in 2024. See Note 10 for further information

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A loss related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange losses resulting from the redemption of the Company's interest in Luminis in 2024. See Note 10 for further information

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency exchange forward contracts used as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Interest expense associated with the Company's Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements, including interest expense related to deferred acquisition consideration and mandatorily redeemable interests

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjustments to amounts due pursuant to the Company's tax receivable agreement, subsequent to its initial establishment, related to changes in enacted tax rates

Each segment's expenses include: a) employee compensation and benefits expenses that are incurred directly in support of the segment and b) non-compensation expenses, which include expenses for premises and occupancy, professional fees, travel and entertainment, technology and information services, execution, clearing and custody fees, equipment and indirect support costs (including compensation and other operating expenses related thereto) for corporate services. Such corporate services include, but are not limited to, accounting, tax, legal, technology, human capital, facilities management and senior management activities.

Additionally, the Company's segment expenses also include Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, which reflect the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• 2024* – Expenses related 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *2023* – Expenses related to the write-off of non-recoverable assets in connection with the wind-down of the Company's operations in Mexico

The prior period reclassifications from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services" for the Investment Banking & Equities segment are $38,536 and $34,146 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 2 for further information.

The prior period reclassifications from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services" for the Investment Management segment are $985 and $914 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 2 for further information.

The Company evaluates segment results based on net revenues and pre-tax income. The Company's resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Company's CEO and Chairman, whom the Company has determined to be the CODM. For both segments, the CODM reviews net revenues and pre-tax income against current and past performance on a quarterly basis when making decisions about allocating resources to the segments, inclusive of decisions regarding new hires, expansion into new geographical locations and entering into material contracts, including lease agreements and significant investments in technology. The CODM also uses these measures in determining appropriate levels of employee compensation.

No client accounted for more than 10% of the Company's Consolidated Net Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following information presents each segment's contribution.

**EVERCORE INC.**

**(parent company only)**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**Note A – Organization**

Evercore Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on July 21, 2005. The Company did not begin meaningful operations until the reorganization discussed below. Pursuant to a reorganization into a holding company structure, the Company became a holding company and its sole asset is a controlling equity interest in Evercore LP. As the sole general partner of Evercore LP, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Evercore LP and, through Evercore LP and its subsidiaries, continues to conduct the business now conducted by these subsidiaries.

**Note B – Significant Accounting Policies**

**Basis of Presentation.** The Statements of Financial Condition, Operations and Cash Flows have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

**Equity Investment in Subsidiary and Equity in Income of Subsidiary.** Equity Investment in Subsidiary includes the Company's receivable from Evercore LP for senior notes owed by Evercore LP to the Company having similar terms as described below in Note D **–** issuance of Notes Payable. The Equity in Income of Subsidiary represents the Company's share of income from Evercore LP.

**Note C – Stockholders' Equity**

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock ("Class A Shares"), par value $0.01 per share, and 1,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share. All Class A Shares and shares of Class B common stock vote together as a single class. At December 31, 2025, the Company has issued 87,573 Class A Shares. The Company canceled two shares of Class B common stock, which were held by limited partners of Evercore LP, and granted two share of Class B common stock during 2025. During 2025, the Company purchased 955 Class A Shares from employees at an average cost per share of $284.01, primarily for the net settlement of stock-based compensation awards, and 1,443 Class A Shares at an average cost per share of $269.74 pursuant to the Company's share repurchase program. The result of these purchases was an increase in Treasury Stock of $660,593 (excluding $466 of excise tax levied on share repurchases, net of issuances) on the Company's Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2025. Treasury shares are repurchased by an indirect subsidiary of Evercore Inc. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company declared and paid dividends of $3.32 per share, totaling $128,489, which were wholly funded by the Company's sole subsidiary, Evercore LP, and accrued deferred cash dividends on unvested and vested RSUs, totaling $15,537. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company also paid deferred cash dividends of $15,921, which were wholly funded by the Company's sole subsidiary, Evercore LP.

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.

**Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is identified in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management has assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on criteria established in *Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission*, commonly referred to as the "COSO" criteria. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In making the assessment, management used the framework in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) promulgated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission*. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2025.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has issued its written attestation report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as included below.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Evercore Inc.

New York, New York

**Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Evercore Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 20, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on *Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

## Exhibit 10.48

**Exhibit 10.48**

**Execution Version**

**AMENDMENT TO PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT, MATURITY DATE EXTENSION, INTEREST RATE CHANGE AND INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS**

For good and valuable consideration, Evercore Group L.L.C. (the "<u>Broker/Dealer</u>") and PNC Bank, National Association (the "<u>Lender</u>") hereby amend the Revolving Note and Cash Subordination Agreement, using FINRA Form REV-33R, executed on October 29, 2021 with a scheduled maturity date of October 28, 2023 (subsequently extended to October 28, 2026) in the principal amount of $75,000,000 (as amended, the "<u>Subordination Agreement</u>"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subordination Agreement previously approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

Terms capitalized herein shall have the same meaning as identified in the Subordination Agreement. With respect to the provisions modified or added herein, to the extent any conflict exists between this amendment and the Subordination Agreement, the terms of this amendment shall control.

The Broker/Dealer and Lender hereby agree to amend the Subordination Agreement as follows:

☒1. (a) The Scheduled Maturity Date of the Subordination Agreement shall be extended to N/A (see below) (at least one year from the date of the previous Scheduled Maturity Date); **OR**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) FOR REVOLVING SUBORDINATED LOAN AGREEMENTS:

The Broker/Dealer and Lender hereby agree to amend the Revolving Note and Subordination Agreement extending the Credit Period to **October 10, 2028** (During the Credit Period, the Broker/Dealer may utilize the Credit Line (as then in effect) by borrowing and/or prepaying outstanding Advances, in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and provisions outlined therein). The Broker/Dealer is obligated to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances on or before **October 10, 2029** (the "<u>Scheduled Maturity Date</u>") (one year AFTER the end of the Credit Period).

☒2. The Broker/Dealer and Lender hereby agree to amend the Subordination Agreement by modifying the interest rate to reflect a rate equal to (A) Daily SOFR plus (B) one hundred thirty (130) basis points (1.30%) from the date hereof.

☐3. The Scheduled Maturity Date hereof in each year, without further action by either the Lender or Broker/Dealer, shall be extended an additional year unless on or before the day seven months (or thirteen months for equity loans, Forms 31E and 32E) preceding the Scheduled Maturity Date then in effect, the Lender shall notify the Broker/Dealer in writing, with a written copy to FINRA, that such Scheduled Maturity Date shall not be extended. By incorporating this provision, the parties to an equity loan (only) represent that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. the Lender will retain an ownership interest in the Broker/Dealer during the extended maturity period(s); and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. the Broker/Dealer shall notify FINRA if any change in ownership status occurs that results in the Lender retaining no ownership interest in the Broker/Dealer.

This amendment shall not become effective unless and until FINRA has found the amendment acceptable.

The parties to this amendment, by affixing their signatures to this amendment, represent to FINRA, for its reliance, that (i) this amendment, and the Subordination Agreement which it amends, are legally valid and binding obligations on the parties; and (ii) this amendment, as executed below, conforms in every respect to and with any draft hereof which may have been heretofore submitted to and approved by FINRA for actual execution.

## Exhibit 10.49

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit 10.49**

**Execution Version**

**Amended and Restated** 

**Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement**

**THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT** (this "**Guaranty**") is made and entered into as of this 10<sup>th</sup> day of October, 2025, by **EVERCORE INC.** (the "**Company**"), **EVERCORE LP** ("**Evercore LP**") and **EVERCORE GROUP HOLDINGS L.P.** ("**Evercore Holdings**"; together with Evercore LP, the "**Existing Guarantors**"; the Existing Guarantors, together with the Company, each a "**Guarantor**" and collectively, the "**Guarantors**"), with an address at 55 East 52<sup>nd</sup> Street, New York, NY 10055, in consideration of the extension of credit by **PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION** (the "**Bank**"), with an address at One PNC Plaza, 249 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, to **EVERCORE GROUP L.L.C.** (the "**Borrower**"), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.<u>Guaranteed Obligations</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)**Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor, and becomes surety for (i) the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations and (ii) the prompt payment of all costs and expenses of the Bank (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement, collection and otherwise in connection with the Obligations (collectively, the **"Guaranteed Obligations"**). As used herein, **"Obligations"** means all loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Bank or to any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., of any kind or nature, present or future (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assignment or participation), absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not (i) evidenced by any note, guaranty or other instrument, (ii) arising under any agreement, instrument or document, including all obligations under the FINRA Loan Documents (as defined below) whether subordinated or not, (iii) for the payment of money, (iv) arising by reason of an extension of credit, opening of a letter of credit, loan, equipment lease or guarantee, (v) under any interest or currency swap, future, option or other interest rate protection or similar agreement, (vi) under or by reason of any foreign currency transaction, forward, option or other similar transaction providing for the purchase of one currency in exchange for the sale of another currency, or in any other manner, (vii) arising out of overdrafts on deposit or other accounts or out of electronic funds transfers (whether by wire transfer or through automated clearing houses or otherwise) or out of the return unpaid of, or other failure of the Bank to receive final payment for, any check, item, instrument, payment order or other deposit or credit to a deposit or other account, or out of the Bank's non-receipt of or inability to collect funds or otherwise not being made whole in connection with depository or other similar arrangements, or (viii) arising from any amendments, extensions, renewals and increases of or to any of the foregoing. The Guaranteed Obligations are not subordinated to any obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor, whether or not the Obligations of the Borrower being guarantied hereunder are subordinated to other creditors of the Borrower. Accordingly, and for the avoidance of doubt, the guaranty by the Guarantors hereunder of the Obligations of the Borrower under the FINRA Loan Documents shall not be subordinate to the obligations of any creditors of the Borrower or any Guarantor and shall be payable hereunder by the Guarantors without regard to whether such Obligations of the Borrower are subordinated to the claims of other creditors of the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the definition of "**Obligations**" shall specifically exclude any and all Excluded Swap Obligations. The foregoing limitation of the definition of Obligations shall only be deemed applicable to the obligations of a Guarantor under the particular Swap (or Swaps), or, if arising under a master agreement governing more than one Swap, the portion thereof, that constitute Excluded Swap Obligations. As used herein, (i) **"Excluded Swap Obligations"** means, with respect to

------

each Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a Swap if, and to the extent that, all or any portion of this Guaranty that relates to the obligations under such Swap is or becomes illegal as to such Guarantor under the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C.§1 et seq.), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute (the **"CEA"**), or any rule, regulation, or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the **"CFTC"**), by virtue of such Guarantor's failure for any reason to qualify as an "eligible contract participant" (as defined in the CEA and regulations promulgated thereunder) on the Eligibility Date for such Swap; (ii) "**Eligibility Date**" means the date on which this Guaranty becomes effective with respect to the particular Swap (for the avoidance of doubt, the Eligibility Date shall be the date of the execution of the particular Swap if this Guaranty is then in effect, and otherwise it shall be the date of execution and delivery of this Guaranty); and (iii) "**Swap**" means any "swap" as defined in Section 1a(47) of the CEA and regulations thereunder between the Borrower and the Bank, other than (A) a swap entered into on, or subject to the rules of, a board of trade designated as a contract market under Section 5 of the CEA, or (B) a commodity option entered into pursuant to CFTC Regulation 32.3(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)**If the Borrower defaults under any Obligations, the Guarantors will pay the Guaranteed Obligations due to the Bank. In addition, if an Event of Default (as defined below) shall occur and be continuing and (subject to the last sentence of this Section) upon demand by the Bank, the Guarantors shall pay all then outstanding Guaranteed Obligations whether or not at such time the Borrower is prohibited from paying such amounts under the FINRA Loan Documents (as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Bank shall have (subject to the last sentence of the Section) made demand upon the Guarantors, the Guarantors shall pay all Obligations outstanding at such time (including accrued and unpaid interest) under the Revolving Note and Cash Subordination Agreement, dated October 29, 2021, between the Borrower and the Bank (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "**FINRA Loan Agreement**") and the FINRA Note (as defined below) regardless of whether such amounts are then due under the FINRA Loan Agreement and/or the FINRA Note and regardless of whether the Borrower is then prohibited from paying such amounts under the FINRA Loan Agreement and/or the FINRA Note at such time. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Borrower does not pay to Bank on the Scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the FINRA Loan Agreement) all Obligations under the FINRA Loan Agreement and the FINRA Note that are outstanding on such date (regardless of whether the Borrower is prohibited from paying such amounts at such time under any of the FINRA Loan Documents), then the Guarantors shall pay to the Bank on the Scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the FINRA Loan Agreement) all Guaranteed Obligations under the FINRA Loan Agreement and the FINRA Note that are outstanding on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no demand by the Bank to the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other similar proceeding in which the Borrower or any Guarantor is a debtor or otherwise the subject of such insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.<u>Nature of Guaranty; Waivers</u>.** This is a guaranty of payment and performance, and not merely of collection and the Bank shall not be required or obligated, as a condition of the Guarantors' liability, to make any demand upon or to pursue any of its rights against the Borrower, or to pursue any rights which may be available to it with respect to any other person who may be liable for the payment of the Obligations.

This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty and will remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full, and the Bank has terminated this Guaranty. This Guaranty will remain in full force and effect even if there is no principal balance outstanding under the Obligations at a particular time or from time to time. This Guaranty will not be affected by any surrender, exchange, acceptance, compromise or release by the Bank of any other party, or any other guaranty or any security held by it for any of the Obligations, by any failure of the Bank to take any steps to perfect or maintain its lien or security interest in or to preserve its rights to any security or other collateral for any of the Obligations or any guaranty, or by any irregularity, unenforceability or invalidity of any of the Obligations or any part thereof or any security or other guaranty thereof or whether the Obligations are senior, <u>pari</u> <u>passu</u> or subordinated obligations of the Borrower. The Guarantors' obligations hereunder shall not be affected, modified or impaired by any counterclaim, set-off,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 2 –

------

recoupment, deduction or defense based upon any claim any Guarantor may have (directly or indirectly) against the Borrower or the Bank, except payment or performance of the Obligations.

Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of credit to the Borrower from time to time, notice of default, diligence, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for payment, and any defense based upon the Bank's failure to comply with the notice requirements under Sections 9-611 and 9-612 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time are hereby waived. The Guarantors waive all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

The Bank at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Guarantors, and without impairing or releasing, discharging or modifying the Guarantors' liabilities hereunder, may (a) change the manner, place, time or terms of payment or performance of or interest rates on, or other terms relating to, any of the Obligations; (b) renew, substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to any of the Obligations, any other guaranties, or any security for any Obligations or guaranties; (c) apply any and all payments by whomever paid or however realized including any proceeds of any collateral, to any Obligations of the Borrower in such order, manner and amount as the Bank may determine in its sole discretion; (d) settle, compromise or deal with any other person, including the Borrower or any Guarantor, with respect to any Obligations in such manner as the Bank deems appropriate in its sole discretion; (e) substitute, exchange or release any security or guaranty; or (f) take such actions and exercise such remedies hereunder as provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.<u>Additional Guarantors</u>**. The Company will cause each of its subsidiaries that guarantees or otherwise becomes liable at any time for or in respect of any indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility or under any Note Purchase Agreement (each as defined below), to concurrently therewith:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;enter into and deliver to the Bank a joinder to this Guaranty (together with this Guaranty, the "**Guaranty Documents**") so that such subsidiary becomes a Guarantor hereunder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;deliver the following to the Bank:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a certificate signed by an authorized responsible officer of such subsidiary containing representations and warranties on behalf of such subsidiary to the same effect, *mutatis mutandis*, as those contained in Section 19 below and Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the FINRA Loan Agreement (but with respect to such subsidiary and this Guaranty in respect of such subsidiary rather than the Borrower or another existing Loan Party);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all documents as may be reasonably requested by the Bank to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and good standing of such subsidiary and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such Guaranty Documents and the performance by such subsidiary of its obligations thereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Bank covering such matters relating to such subsidiary and such Guaranty Documents as the Bank may reasonably request;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if such subsidiary is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, evidence of the acceptance by a process agent that is reasonably satisfactory to the Bank of the appointment and designation provided for by such Guaranty Documents to one year after the Scheduled Maturity Date (and the payment in full of all fees in respect thereof).

The provisions of this section will be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Guarantors in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken will be without prejudice to the Bank's rights hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.<u>Incorporation by Reference</u>**. The financial covenants, negative covenants, reporting covenants and Events of Default applicable to Evercore Partners Services East LLC ("**Evercore East**") or any Guarantor contained in the Loan Agreement (as defined below) are hereby incorporated by reference in, and made part of, this Guaranty to the same extent as if such covenants and Events of Default were set forth in full herein. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, during the period commencing with the date hereof through and including such date

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 4 –

on which all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full, and the Bank has terminated this Guaranty, such Guarantor will comply, and will cause Evercore East to comply with, each and every such covenant applicable to such Guarantor or Evercore East, as such covenants and Events of Default may be amended from time to time after the date of this Guaranty with the consent of the Bank. In the event that the Loan Agreement shall terminate or become no longer binding on a Guarantor prior to the termination of this Guaranty, such covenants and Events of Default will remain in force and effect for purposes of this Guaranty as though set forth in full herein until the date on which all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full, and the Bank has terminated this Guaranty. For the sake of clarity, the phrase "other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made" does not include any contractual obligation under the FINRA Loan Documents for the Bank to potentially repay any payments paid to the Bank under the circumstances described therein and under no circumstances shall this Guaranty terminate prior to the expiration of all time periods contemplated by such contractual provisions for the return of any payments made to the Bank by the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.<u>Enforceability of Obligations</u>.** No modification, limitation or discharge of the Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law will affect, modify, limit or discharge the Guarantors' liability in any manner whatsoever and this Guaranty will remain and continue in full force and effect and will be enforceable against the Guarantors to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if any such proceeding had not been instituted. Each Guarantor waives all rights and benefits which might accrue to it by reason of any such proceeding and will be liable to the full extent hereunder, irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of the Borrower that may result from any such proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.<u>Events of Default/Other Payment Obligations</u>.** The occurrence of any of the following shall be an **"Event of Default"**: (i) any Event of Acceleration or Event of Default (as each is defined in the FINRA Loan Agreement); (ii) any Event of Default (as defined in any of the Loan Documents), including, without limitation, any "Event of Default" as defined in (x) the Loan Agreement and/or (y) the Note; (iii) the Borrower's, Evercore East's or any Guarantor's failure to observe or perform any covenant or other agreement, under or contained in the FINRA Loan Agreement, the FINRA Note, the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Guaranty or any other document now or in the future evidencing or securing any monetary debt or obligation of the Borrower, Evercore East or any Guarantor to the Bank in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500,000 (other than those set forth in clause (i) above) and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of (a) written notice to the Guarantors from the Bank and (b) a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, Evercore East or any Guarantor becoming aware of such failure, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the thirty (30) day cure period contained in this clause (ii) shall not be deemed to apply if the Borrower, Evercore East or such Guarantor commits more than two (2) such breaches within any twelve (12) calendar month period; (iv) any warranty, representation or statement made by a Guarantor herein or furnished to the Bank by or on behalf of Evercore East or a Guarantor pursuant to any Loan Document or any other documents now or in the future evidencing or securing any monetary debt or obligation of the Borrower, Evercore East or any Guarantor to the Bank in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500,000 is false, erroneous or misleading in any material respect (or, in the case of any such representation or warranty qualified as to materiality, in any respect) on and as of the date made or furnished; or (v) the termination or attempted termination of this Guaranty by any Guarantor (other than in accordance with the terms hereof). Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and demand by the Bank (provided that no demand by the Bank shall be required in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other similar proceeding in which the Borrower or any Guarantor is a debtor or otherwise the subject of such insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding), (a) the Guarantors shall immediately pay to the Bank the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations then outstanding whether or not the Obligations are then due and payable by the Borrower or the Borrower is prohibited from paying such amounts pursuant to the FINRA Loan Documents and applicable law and regardless of whether the Obligations are incurred on, prior or subsequent to such date; or (b) on demand of the Bank, the Guarantors shall immediately deposit with the Bank, in U.S. dollars, all amounts due or to become due under the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Bank may at any time use such

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 5 –

funds to repay the Obligations; or (c) the Bank in its discretion may exercise with respect to any collateral any one or more of the rights and remedies provided a secured party under the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code; or (d) the Bank in its discretion may exercise from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise. For the sake of clarity and without limiting the above, if after the occurrence of an Event of Default the Bank shall make any additional Advances (as defined in the FINRA Loan Agreement) to the Borrower pursuant to the FINRA Loan Documents, the Guarantors shall jointly and severally pay to the Bank on demand an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any FINRA Loan Document, if an Event of Acceleration or an Event of Default (as each is defined in the FINRA Loan Agreement) has occurred and either (i) no amounts are then outstanding under the FINRA Loan Agreement at such time or (ii) the Borrower or any Guarantor repays all outstanding amounts under the FINRA Loan Agreement within five (5) business days following the Company's receipt of notice from the Bank of such Event of Acceleration or Event of Default (as each is defined in the FINRA Loan Agreement), then no Event of Acceleration or Event of Default (as each is defined in the FINRA Loan Agreement) shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder or under any of the other FINRA Loan Documents; provided that, (x) no notice to the Company by the Bank shall be required in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other similar proceeding in which the Borrower or any Guarantor is a debtor or otherwise the subject of such insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding, and (y) the Bank shall not be required to advance any additional Advances or other credit to the Borrower under the FINRA Loan Agreement so long as any Event of Default or Event of Acceleration (as each such term is defined in the FINRA Loan Agreement) shall exist without giving effect to clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence. As used herein, (i) "**FINRA Note**" shall mean that certain Revolving Note, dated as of October 29, 2021, between the Borrower and the Bank, in the original principal amount of $75,000,000, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, (ii) "**FINRA Loan Documents**" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the FINRA Loan Agreement, (iii) "**Loan Agreement**" shall mean the Loan Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2024, between Evercore East and the Bank, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, (iv) "**Note**" shall mean the Amended and Restated Line of Credit Note, dated as of July 10, 2025, in the original principal amount of $225,000,000, as amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, and (v) "**Loan Documents**" and "**Responsible Officer**" shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.<u>Right of Setoff</u>.** In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the Guarantors' money, securities or other property given to the Bank by law, the Bank shall have, with respect to the Guarantors' obligations to the Bank under this Guaranty and to the extent permitted by law, a contractual possessory security interest in and a contractual right of setoff against, and each Guarantor hereby grants to the Bank a security interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges and transfers to the Bank all of such Guarantor's right, title and interest in and to, all of such Guarantor's deposits, moneys, securities and other property now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with, or in transit to, the Bank or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held jointly with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise, excluding, however, all IRA, Keogh, and trust accounts. Every such security interest and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to the Guarantors. Every such right of setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder without any action of the Bank, although the Bank may enter such setoff on its books and records at a later time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.<u>Increased Costs; Yield Protection</u>**. On written demand, together with written evidence of the justification therefor, the Guarantors agree to pay the Lender all direct costs incurred, any losses suffered or payments made by the Lender as a result of any Change in Law (hereinafter defined), imposing any reserve, deposit, allocation of capital or similar requirement (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) on the Lender, its holding company or any of their respective assets relative to the Credit Line.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.<u>Postponement of Subrogation</u>.** Until the Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), there is no obligation under the FINRA Loan Documents for the Bank to make any additional Advances and there is no further potential obligation for the Bank to be obligated to repay or return any payments previously made by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the FINRA Loan Documents, each Guarantor postpones and subordinates in favor of the Bank or its designee (and any assignee or potential assignee) any and all rights which such Guarantor may have to (a) assert any claim whatsoever against the Borrower based on subrogation, exoneration, reimbursement, or indemnity or any right of recourse to security for the Obligations with respect to payments made hereunder, and (b) any realization on any property of the Borrower, including participation in any marshalling of the Borrower's assets.

(a)firstly, there shall be allocated to the Current Account of the relevant Individual Members an amount equal to any Drawings and Other Benefits made to such Individual Members in any prior Financial Period (as set out in the Schedule of Terms in place between that Member and the Evercore LLP) which were in excess of the Income Profit allocated to the relevant Individual Members in such prior Financial Period and which have not been met by subsequent allocations of Income Profit, and in the event that there shall be more than one Individual Member who has received Drawings and Other Benefits in any previous Financial Period which were in excess of the Income Profits allocated to such Individual Member at such time and the Income Profit of the Evercore LLP in the relevant Financial Period shall not be sufficient to meet those allocations in full, then such Income Profits shall be allocated on a pro rata basis (calculated by reference to the aggregate amount of Drawings and Other Benefits in excess of the Income Profits allocated that each such Individual Member has received in the relevant prior Financial Year) as between the relevant Individual Members;

(b)secondly, there shall be allocated to the Current Account of each Individual Member such amount of the Income Profits as is equal to the amount of Drawings and Other Benefits made to such Individual Member in the relevant Financial Period (as set out in the Schedule of Terms in place between that Member and the Evercore LLP) and in the event that the Income Profits in any Financial Period shall not be sufficient to meet those allocations in full then such Income Profits shall be allocated on a pro rata basis (calculated by reference to the aggregate amount of Drawings and Other Benefits each Individual Member has received in the relevant Financial Period) as between the relevant Individual Members; and

<br> <br> <br> <br> 20 <br>

**LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP DEED**

(c)thirdly, with respect to each Individual Member and the EHL Corporate Member, by the allocation of Income Profit to that Individual Member or the EHL Corporate Member of an amount the value of which shall be determined with reference to the Income Profit (or Income Loss) for the Financial Period and in accordance with the Profit Sharing Principles at the absolute discretion of the Executive Committee and, for the avoidance of doubt, such amount may be nil (each such amount a ***Discretionary Amount***, and collectively, the ***Discretionary Amounts***).

14.4Income Losses shall be allocated to the Corporate Members in such manner as may be approved by the Executive Committee. Capital Losses shall be allocated to the Corporate Members in such manner as may be approved by the Executive Committee.

14.5All disallowable expenses attributable to the Business shall be for the account of the EHL Corporate Member and shall be allocated to it unless a Super Majority of the Individual Members and the EHL Corporate Member each approve any disallowable expenses being allocated to one or more Individual Members, in which case the Evercore LLP will make an interim Income Profit allocation to each such Individual Member to satisfy any liability to tax arising from such allocation.

14.6If there is insufficient Income Profit in any Financial Period to meet in full all of the allocations to be made under clause 14.3, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)those allocations which can be made in full shall be made in full in the order of priority set out in clause 14.3; and thereafter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)where, having followed such order of priority, there are only sufficient Income Profits to make an allocation in part under the next sub-clause in such order of priority then such Income Profits shall be allocated amongst those Members due to receive such allocation pro-rata on the basis of the full amounts due to them under that sub-clause and the balance that is not allocated will not constitute a debt due from the Evercore LLP and will not be carried forward to be met from Income Profits in subsequent Financial Periods; and thereafter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)any allocations required to satisfy the remaining entitlements will not be made and any amount that is not allocated will not constitute a debt due from the Evercore LLP and will not be carried forward to be met from Income Profits in any subsequent Financial Period.

14.7 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In each Financial Period an aggregate distribution of cash such amount as shall be set out in any Member's Schedule of Terms (if any) shall be made to each Individual Member who are entitled to such distributions for so long as they shall be Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Such Drawings shall be made to each such Individual Member in equal monthly instalments on or around such day in each month as the Executive Committee shall from time to time determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Drawings shall be made in full regardless of whether or not the Income Profits allocated to any Individual Member in accordance with clause 14.3 shall be sufficient to meet such payments and to the extent that the aggregate Drawings made in each Financial Period to any Individual Member shall exceed the Income Profits allocated to such Individual Member in respect of such Financial Period, an amount equal to such excess shall remain as a debit on the Current Account of the relevant Individual Member and shall reduce any subsequent allocation of Income Profits to such Individual Member or shall, if so required by the Executive Committee, be treated as a debt due and payable by the relevant Individual Member to the Evercore LLP promptly on written demand by the Executive Committee.

14.8Any Capital Profit attributable to the Business shall be allocated to EPL or (in the event EPL is not a Member at the relevant time) the EHL Corporate Member and not to the Individual Members.

19.2Without prejudice to clause 19.3, an Outgoing Member is not entitled to any share or interest in the property or profit of the Evercore LLP arising after the Outgoing Member's Date of Outgoing and any Schedule of Terms in place between an Outgoing Member and the Evercore LLP shall terminate on that Outgoing Member's Date of Outgoing.

19.3Upon any person ceasing to be a Member, the Outgoing Member shall:

(a)receive any Drawings and Other Benefits which the Outgoing Member is entitled to receive in respect of the period prior to their Date of Outgoing, subject always to that Member's Schedule of Terms;

provided always that:

(d)the Executive Committee shall be entitled to retain a sum sufficient to discharge any tax for which the Evercore LLP may be liable in respect of the Outgoing Member's share of the profits or in respect of any other amounts paid or payable to the Outgoing Member in respect of any period prior to the date of his death or of the date of his otherwise ceasing to be a Member; and

If an Outgoing Member is not a Good Leaver by virtue of this clause 19.4, he shall be deemed to be a ***Bad Leaver*,** and the provisions of clause 19.3(d) shall accordingly not apply to such Outgoing Member.

19.5With effect from the Date of Outgoing, any amounts owing to an Outgoing Member shall be recorded as third party liabilities of the Evercore LLP rather than as standing to the credit of the Capital Account or Current Account.

<br> <br> <br> <br> 24 <br>

------

**LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP DEED**

(d)a material breach of the Profit Sharing Principles or a material amendment being made to the Profit Sharing Principles other than in accordance with the terms of this Deed; or

(e)implementing any matters set out in paragraphs (a) to (e) of Part B of Schedule 3 without the approval of a Majority of the Individual Members.

(a)be a Good Leaver on the terms of this Deed and his or her relevant Schedule of Terms; and

(b)no longer be subject to the notice requirements and restrictive covenants in clauses 13.1 and 14 respectively of the Members' relevant Schedule of Terms,

but shall have no other remedy against the Evercore LLP or the EHL Corporate Member whatsoever in respect of such Terminating Material Breach, without prejudice to any claim which such Individual Member may have with respect to any remuneration or other liquidated sum due and owing to him under this Deed or his or her Schedule of Terms.

**31. TAXATION**

31.1The Evercore LLP shall withhold from payments to each Individual Member amounts to maintain a reserve (a ***Tax Reserve***) on behalf of such Individual Member on account of his share of the Income Profits of the Evercore LLP sufficient to discharge:

(a)such Individual Member's personal liability to pay income tax to the extent that such liability does not exceed what it would have been if his only source of income were his share of the Income Profits of the Evercore LLP less his share of the Income Losses of the Evercore LLP; and

(b)such Individual Member's personal liability to pay National Insurance contributions attributable to him in respect of his share of the Income Profits of the Evercore LLP less his share of the Income Losses of the Evercore LLP.

31.2Each Tax Reserve maintained under clause 31.1 shall not be paid to the Individual Member but shall be paid to HMRC on his behalf in settlement of any relevant liability and each Individual Member authorises any member of the Executive Committee to arrange for such payment to be made and the Executive Committee shall procure that such payments are made by the date they fall due. Any interest or penalties arising due to late payments shall be for the account of the Evercore LLP and not, directly, any affected Individual Member(s).

(c)each Individual Member shall be kept promptly informed of any enquiry into or amendment of any such return or statement delivered to HMRC on behalf of the Evercore LLP to the extent that is relevant to any return or self-assessment made or to be made by such Individual Member; and

(d)if the appropriate circumstances arise, such information shall be provided to an Individual Member where that is necessary to support a claim by him to HMRC that any payments that otherwise are to be made by him on account of income tax for any year of assessment should be reduced or should not be required.

31.5Each Individual Member shall provide the Evercore LLP with the information relating to any tax payable by the Individual Member which is to be paid on his behalf pursuant to clause 31.2, including the applicable HMRC reference number for that Member. Subject to its having received such information from any Individual Member, the Evercore LLP shall, not less than 10 Business Days before the due date of payment of any such tax, be required to notify the Individual Member of the amount of tax which shall be so paid on his behalf on or before the due date of payment.

31.6Each Member shall discharge on or before the due date for payment in each case all tax (whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere) for which he or it is primarily liable in respect of his or its share of any profits of the Evercore LLP and shall indemnify each other Member in respect of any loss, expense, cost or liability which that other Member may incur to the extent that the other Member would not have incurred that loss, expense, cost or liability but for a failure on the part of the first mentioned Member to comply with his or its obligations under this clause 31.2.

31.7In the event any Member proposes to enter into a settlement with HMRC in relation to any tax liability of such Member arising as a result of his (or its) membership of the Evercore LLP, each such Member undertakes to the Evercore LLP that:

(a)he (or it) shall give the Executive Committee 20 Business Days' written notice (or where a deadline set by HMRC does not allow for 20 Business Days' notice then such maximum length of notice as is reasonably practicable) in writing setting out the details of any such settlement (such notice to include copies of all relevant correspondence, including any draft submissions); and

(b)if the Executive Committee serves a written notice on such Member on or prior to the expiry of such 20 Business Day period (or such shorter period as may be applicable) indicating that it wishes (on behalf of the Evercore LLP) to take over the conduct of any such settlement, such Member shall, from the date of service of such notice, not correspond independently of the Evercore LLP or any Affiliate of the Evercore LLP with HMRC in relation to such settlement and unconditionally authorises the Executive Committee to correspond, negotiate and agree any such settlement with HMRC on his (or its) behalf (provided always that the Executive Committee shall provide such Member with copies of all correspondence between the Executive Committee and HMRC).

<br> <br> <br> <br> 30 <br>

------

**LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP DEED**

31.8If the Executive Committee does not serve a written notice in accordance with clause 31.4(b), the Member shall be entitled to correspond with HMRC as he (or it) shall see fit in relation to any settlement with HMRC subject always to such Member providing the Executive Committee with copies of all correspondence between the Member, his advisers and HMRC (and the Member hereby undertakes to the Executive Committee to provide copies of any such correspondence to the Executive Committee).

31.9Each Member hereby agrees that he (or it) shall not, without the prior written consent of the Executive Committee, treat on his (or its) own tax returns or any other tax filings or computations, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit relating to his (or its) interest in the Evercore LLP in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this Deed or the treatment of such items by the Evercore LLP as reflected on the relevant tax return or other information furnished to such Member, or file any claim for a refund or reclaim relating to any such item based on, or which would result in, such inconsistent treatment, or take any other inconsistent action.

**32. CONFIDENTIALITY AND ANNOUNCEMENTS**

32.1Each Individual Member and each Corporate Member shall at all times use its best efforts to keep confidential all commercial and technical information which it may acquire in relation to the Evercore Group or the Business or in relation to the customers, clients, business or affairs of any other Member (or its Affiliates). Each Individual Member and each Corporate Member shall not use or disclose such information except with the consent of the other Members or, in the case of information relating to the Evercore Group, for the purpose of advancing the Business. This restriction shall not apply to any information:

(a)which is publicly available or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Member wishing to use or disclose the information;

(b)which that Member can demonstrate was already in its possession or was independently developed by that Member or on its behalf;

(c)which is obtained by that Member from a third party which did not acquire or hold the information under an obligation of confidentiality; or

(d)to the extent that it is required to be disclosed by law or by the rules of any recognised stock exchange or regulatory body.

32.2Each Corporate Member shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that its employees and agents and any Affiliate, including its employees and agents (if any), observe this duty of confidentiality.

32.3No announcement in connection with the subject matter of this Deed shall be made or issued by or on behalf of any of the Members or the Evercore LLP without the prior written approval of the Executive Committee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) except as may be required by law or by any stock exchange or by any governmental authority.

32.4Nothing in this Deed shall entitle any Individual Member to require a copy of, or to receive or view a copy of, any Schedule of Terms to which such Individual Member is not a party. No Individual Member shall be entitled to require disclosure of the amount of profits allocated to any other Individual Member in any Financial Period.

32.5The provisions of this clause 32 shall survive any termination of this Deed.

33.1Provided that the provisions of this clause 33 are met, a Corporate Member shall be entitled at any time to transfer all of its interest in the Evercore LLP to any other wholly owned member of the Evercore Group.

Any contract entered into between a Corporate Member and another wholly owned member of the Evercore Group for the transfer of such Corporate Member's interest in the Evercore LLP to that other person (a ***Transfer Agreement***) shall only become effective once:

(b)such Corporate Member has given notice of its intention to retire from the Evercore LLP to the Executive Committee.

33.2If, pursuant to a Transfer Agreement, a Corporate Member retires from the Evercore LLP and another person is admitted as a new Member (or an existing Member receives the transfer or such outgoing Member's interest in the Evercore LLP), then:

(a)the provisions of clauses 19.2 to 19.6 shall not apply with respect to such outgoing Member; and

(b)the Capital Account of such outgoing Member shall be deemed to become the Capital Account of the new Member (or existing Member, as the case may be) and any amounts contributed by such outgoing Member to the Regulatory Capital Account shall be deemed to be amounts contributed to the Regulatory Capital Account by the new Member (or existing Member).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**34.ASSIGNMENT**

**38. AMENDMENTS**

38.1 Save as expressly provided in this Deed, if, at any time during the term of the Evercore LLP, the Executive Committee shall deem it necessary or desirable to amend this Deed, such amendment may be effected if approved by the Executive Committee and the EHL Corporate Member and embodied in a document executed on behalf of the Executive Committee and the EHL Corporate Member, provided that where such amendment would materially adversely affect the other Members, such amendment shall be subject to the prior approval of any Member adversely affected unless such amendment is necessary to comply with the Act or the Regulations or the requirements of the FCA. Any such document shall have the same effect from and after its effective date as if the same had originally been embodied in, and formed a part of, this Deed.

**39. TERMINATION AND WINDING-UP**

39.3In the event of a solvent voluntary winding-up of the Evercore LLP:

(a)the amounts standing to the credit of the Members' Current Accounts at the commencement of the Financial Period shall be returned to the Members in priority to the distribution of any profits or losses arising during the Financial Period;

(b)the Members shall be entitled to be allocated such profits of the Evercore LLP, for the period up until the date of such termination or the date the resolution for voluntary winding-up was passed, to which they would have been entitled in accordance with clause 14;

(c)the assets of the Evercore LLP remaining after payment of its liabilities (and the operation of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this clause 39.3 above) shall be applied in returning to the Members the amounts standing to the credit of their Capital Accounts (and, if there are insufficient assets to return such amounts in full, then the available assets shall be applied pro rata as between the Members in proportion to the amount standing to the credit of their respective Capital Accounts); and

(d)any remaining assets of the Evercore LLP shall be distributed to EPL or (in the event EPL is not a Member at the relevant time) the EHL Corporate Member.

42.7The mediation shall take place in London and the language of the mediation shall be English.

The Mediation Agreement referred to in the Model Procedure shall be governed by and construed and take effect in accordance with English law. The courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any claim, dispute or matter of difference which may arise out of, or in connection with, the mediation.

**43. CONFLICT WITH OTHER AGREEMENTS**

43.1If there is any inconsistency or conflict between (i) any provisions of this Deed and/or the Schedule of Terms of any Individual Member and (ii) any provisions of any other document or agreement that affects any Individual Member, then the provisions of this Deed and/or such Schedule of Terms shall prevail and such other documents shall be amended accordingly.

**44. WHOLE AGREEMENT**

This Deed (taken with any Deed of Adherence and any Schedule of Terms applicable to each Member) constitutes the whole agreement and understanding of that Member with respect to the subject matter of this Deed and none of the Members or the Evercore LLP has entered into this Deed in reliance upon any representation, warranty or undertaking by or on behalf of any Member or the Evercore LLP which is not expressly set out in it provided that this clause shall not exclude any liability for (or remedy in respect of) fraudulent misrepresentation.

(a)in compliance or purported compliance with any provision of this Deed; or

(b)pursuant to a decision taken or purportedly taken in accordance with this Deed,

or which shall otherwise constitute or involve a breach of any provision of this Deed shall be regarded as a repudiation of this Deed or affect the continued application of this Deed to the Evercore LLP and the Members but (for the avoidance of doubt) nothing in this clause 45.1 shall limit the right of any Member or of the Evercore LLP to pursue a claim for damages or any other relief (whether interim or otherwise) in respect of any breach or threatened breach of this Deed.

**46. NO WAIVER**

46.1No failure on the part of any Member to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Deed shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

47.2In relation to any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Deed (whether arising out of or in connection with contractual or non-contractual obligations) (***Proceedings***), each of the Members irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts and waives any objection to Proceedings in such courts on the grounds of venue or on the grounds that Proceedings have been brought in an inappropriate forum. This clause shall not prevent any of the parties from applying for provisional measures (including interim injunctive relief) in the courts of any other competent jurisdiction.

**48. NO RIGHTS UNDER CONTRACTS (RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES) ACT 1999**

Other than in relation to any Affiliate not party to this Deed which shall have the right from time to time to receive the direct benefit of and enforce the obligations and/or rights under the relevant clauses of this Deed which refer to any such Affiliate, no person who is not for the time being a party to this Deed shall have any right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Deed but this shall not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

**49. COUNTERPARTS**

The provision of this benefit to you is expressly subject to the terms of the scheme in place from time to time. Reference is made in

3

------

particular to its provisions regarding termination of benefits. A copy of the scheme is available from the Evercore LLP. The Evercore LLP reserves its right to terminate your membership of the Evercore LLP notwithstanding that this may deprive you of benefits under the scheme; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)you with the same maternity, paternity, adoption and parental leave and pay (as applicable) pursuant to the maternity and paternity policies of the Evercore LLP Group as if you were an employee (rather than a Member) of the Evercore LLP, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable policy from time to time in force.

**9Hours and Place of Work**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.1You shall be required to work such hours as are necessary for the proper performance of your duties. Your minimum hours of work shall be from 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2Your normal place of work will be at the principal offices of the Evercore LLP but the Evercore LLP reserves the right to change this to any other location in central London either on a temporary or permanent basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3You will be entitled to spend a reasonable amount of your business time working from home provided that the Executive Committee is satisfied that this is not affecting your ability to perform your duties or the overall effective performance of the Business.

**10Holidays**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1You will be entitled to take, in addition to normal English bank and public holidays, up to 25 days holiday in each holiday year. The Evercore LLP's holiday year commences on 1 January each year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2Holiday entitlement should, where possible, be taken during the appropriate holiday year. Up to a maximum of 5 days accrued holiday entitlement may be carried forward to the next holiday year, provided it is taken within the first 4 months of the next holiday year. Any accrued holiday entitlement not carried forward and taken in accordance with these terms will be forfeited, without any right to payment in lieu thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3Your holiday should be taken at such times as may be agreed by the Executive Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.4The Executive Committee may require that you alter the time which you had intended to take your holiday, in order to ensure the effective operation of the Business. In such circumstances the Evercore LLP will reimburse you for all reasonable expenses which you had incurred and which are otherwise irrecoverable by you.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5The Executive Committee may in its absolute discretion grant additional holiday to you in recognition of you being required to work extensively during weekends and/or public holidays.

**11Sickness and other absence**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1The Evercore LLP shall continue to pay your Drawings and Other Benefits during a period of absence on medical grounds up to a maximum of 26 weeks in any period of 12 months, provided that you provide the Evercore LLP with medical certificates covering any period of sickness or incapacity exceeding seven days (including weekends) and you undergo at the Evercore LLP's expense a medical examination by a doctor supported by the Evercore LLP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2In the event of your long-term illness or disability, you may be eligible for an insurance benefit under the permanent health insurance scheme that the Evercore LLP shall from time to time

4

------

maintain as referred to above, subject to the terms of the scheme in place from time to time and subject to underwriting. If the insurer fails or refuses to provide you with any benefits under the scheme provided by the Evercore LLP, your right of action shall be against the insurers of the scheme and not the Evercore LLP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3If your absence is occasioned by the actionable negligence of a third party in respect of which damages are recoverable, all sums paid to you by the Evercore LLP during such absence will be paid by way of a loan. You agree to notify the Evercore LLP of all the relevant circumstances and of any claim, compromise, settlement or judgement made or awarded in connection therewith and if the Evercore LLP requires, refund the Evercore LLP any amounts recovered in respect of loss of earnings for the period for which contractual sick pay has been paid.

**12Expenses**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1You shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Evercore LLP for all costs and expenses determined by the Executive Committee to be reasonably incurred by you in the due performance of your obligations as a Member of the Evercore LLP or in respect of anything necessarily done by you for the preservation of the Business or the property of the Evercore LLP. Reimbursement shall be in accordance with and subject to procedures approved by the Executive Committee.

For these purposes, it is agreed that circumstances in which you would have had a valid claim for constructive dismissal had you been an employee of the Evercore Group shall be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)a reduction in your Drawings or Other Benefits or a diminution in your title or status (such that you are no longer a Senior Managing Director);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)a material, unremedied breach by the Evercore LLP or the Corporate Members of the terms of the Members' Agreement or the Schedule of Terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)any other circumstances which, were you an employee of the Evercore LLP, would amount to a fundamental breach of your contract of employment; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)any other circumstance which a Queen's Counsel of at least 25 years call who specialises in employment law confirms would have had a real prospect of success as a claim for constructive dismissal had you been an employee of the Evercore Group,

5

------

in each case, without your prior written agreement (hereinafter referred to as ***Constructive Dismissal*** and ***Constructively Dismissed*** shall be construed accordingly).

For the avoidance of doubt neither:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.4In the event of you giving notice to terminate your membership for any reason, or the Evercore LLP giving you notice pursuant to clause 13.3, the Executive Committee may elect to pay you in lieu of part or all of any notice period. Pay in lieu shall consist of your permitted Drawings pursuant to clause 5 and any Other Benefits pursuant to clause 8 only.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.5During any period of notice of termination, the Evercore LLP shall be under no obligation to assign any duties to you and the Executive Committee shall be entitled to suspend you from attending to the Business (including by excluding you from the Evercore Group's premises and/or directing you not to have any communication with any clients of the Evercore LLP or any member of the Evercore Group in such notice period), provided that this shall not affect your entitlement to receive your Drawings and Other Benefits. Other than in the event that you elect to terminate your membership of the Evercore LLP pursuant to clause 13.2, during such period of notice you shall remain a Member of the Evercore LLP and so remain bound by your duties, including without limitation your duties of good faith, confidentiality and exclusivity of service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)have absented yourself from the Business for a material period of time on a material number of occasions (absence permitted in accordance with clause 10 or clause 11 above or due to temporary illness or as otherwise agreed by the Executive Committee not being reckoned);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.9Any delay by the Evercore LLP in exercising such right of termination set out in clause 13.6 above shall not constitute a waiver thereof and the rights of termination set out therein do not imply that the Evercore LLP will not take action in accordance with its rights and duties under criminal or civil law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.10On the termination of your membership of the Evercore LLP (howsoever arising) or on either the Evercore LLP or you having served notice of such termination, you shall:
