LEADERSHIP COMMENTARY

John S. Weinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "Our record first quarter results reflect strong momentum coming into the year and the benefits of our long-term investment strategy. Our focus remains on serving our clients and building on the strength of our franchise."

Roger C. Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman, "We delivered an exceptional first quarter, with record revenues of $1.4 billion, underscoring the relentless build-out of the Evercore platform."

Evercore's quarterly results may fluctuate significantly due to the timing and amount of transaction fees earned, as well as other factors. Accordingly, financial results in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results over a longer period of time.

Business Segments:

Evercore's business results are categorized into two segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. Investment Banking & Equities includes providing advice to clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic corporate transactions, as well as services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Investment Management includes Wealth Management and interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company, as well as advising third-party investors through affiliates. See pages A-2 to A-8 for further information and reconciliations of these segment results to our U.S. GAAP consolidated results.

Non-GAAP Measures:

Throughout this release certain information is presented on an adjusted basis, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), and then those results are adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of certain Evercore LP Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed adjusted measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore's results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore's operating results. Evercore uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Evercore's Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was higher than U.S. GAAP principally as a result of the exclusion of the following expenses:

Evercore's Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were higher than U.S. GAAP primarily as a result of the inclusion of Evercore LP Units.

Further details of these adjustments, as well as an explanation of similar amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are included in pages A-2 to A-8.

Employee Compensation and Benefits – First quarter Employee Compensation and Benefits increased $444.2 million, or 97%, year-over-year, reflecting a compensation ratio of 65.0% for the first quarter of 2026 versus 66.2% for the prior year period. The increase in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. Employee Compensation and Benefits for the first quarter of 2026 also includes $7.1 million of costs related to awards granted in conjunction with the acquisition of Robey Warshaw. The Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period. See "Deferred Compensation" for more information.

Non-Compensation Costs – First quarter Non-Compensation Costs increased $33.0 million, or 27%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with license fees and research services in the first quarter of 2026, an increase in depreciation and amortization, principally reflecting the addition of leasehold improvements for new office space and the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw, an increase in professional fees and an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount. The first quarter Non-Compensation ratio of 11.3% decreased from 17.8% compared to the prior year period. The Non-Compensation Ratio was also impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period.

Non-Compensation Costs for the first quarter of 2026 are also impacted by Acquisition and Transition Costs resulting from the impairment of a lease related to the acquisition of Robey Warshaw.

Effective Tax Rate

The first quarter effective tax rate was 2.7% versus (37.2%) for the prior year period. The effective tax rate is principally impacted by the deduction associated with the appreciation in the Firm's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price. The first quarter provision for income taxes for 2026 reflects an additional tax benefit of $88.5 million versus $74.3 million for the prior year period, due to the net impact associated with the appreciation in the Firm's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price.

Adjusted Results

Throughout the discussion of Evercore's business and elsewhere in this release, information is presented on an Adjusted basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measure. Adjusted results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of certain Evercore LP Units and Unvested Restricted Stock Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed Adjusted measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore's results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore's operating results. The Company uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These Adjusted amounts are allocated to the Company's two business segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. The differences between the Adjusted and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:
