We’ve been opportunistic in a market that continues to align with the core strengths of Fortress.”

Distributable earnings is a supplemental measure of our operating performance that we believe provides a meaningful basis for comparison between present and future periods.
The Company’s quarterly segment revenues and distributable earnings will fluctuate materially depending upon the performance of our funds and the realization events within our private equity businesses, as well as other factors. Accordingly, the revenues and profits in any particular quarter should not be expected to be indicative of future results.

At June 30, 2010, we had $0.7 billion of assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) in our principal investments segment, compared to $0.8 billion (excluding cash and cash equivalents) at June 30, 2009. During the second quarter of 2010, we increased commitments to our principal investments by $20 million and funded $6 million of our commitments. We had $130 million of unfunded commitments to our principal investments as of June 30, 2010.
Our principal investments segment pre-tax DE was unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2010, due primarily to gains and distributions of $4 million from our balance sheet investments offset by $4 million of interest expense.
Segment Expenses
Segment expenses were $100 million in the second quarter of 2010, up from $64 million for the second quarter of 2009. Segment expenses for the second quarter of 2010 included $30 million of profit sharing compensation, which is a function of revenues received from our various funds.
The Company had $286 million of share-based compensation expense (primarily relating to expense recorded in connection with the principals agreement, the issuance of restricted stock units to Fortress employees, and the issuance of restricted partnership units) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, which contributed to our reporting a GAAP net loss. Share-based compensation expense is not included in segment expenses or in the calculation of distributable earnings.
Corporate Credit Agreement
During the second quarter, we paid down the credit facility by $14 million. As of June 30, 2010, we have $356 million of debt outstanding and have capacity available of approximately $60 million under our revolving credit facility.
Dividend Policy
Each quarter, we evaluate whether to pay quarterly dividends on our Class A shares. The amount of any dividends will be determined by our board of directors. However, no assurance can be given that any dividends, whether quarterly or otherwise, will or can be paid. In determining the amount of any dividends, our board will take into account various factors, including our financial performance, on both an actual and projected basis, earnings, liquidity and the operating performance of our segments as assessed by management.
Non-GAAP Information
Fortress discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, which management believes provides a meaningful basis for comparison among present and future periods. The following are non-GAAP measures used in the accompanying financial information:
- Pre-tax DE and pre-tax DE per dividend paying share
- Fund management distributable earnings
- Segment revenues
- GAAP net income excluding principals agreement compensation
- Weighted Average Dividend Paying Shares and Units Outstanding (Used for DEPS)
We urge you to read the reconciliation of such data to the related GAAP measures appearing in the exhibits to this release.

‘‘Distributable earnings’’ is our supplemental measure of operating performance. It reflects the value created which management considers available for distribution during any period. As compared to generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’) net income, distributable earnings excludes the effects of unrealized gains (or losses) on illiquid investments, reflects contingent revenue which has been received as income to the extent it is not expected to be reversed, and disregards expenses which do not require an outlay of assets, whether currently or on an accrued basis. Distributable earnings is reflected on an unconsolidated and pre-tax basis, and, therefore, the interests in consolidated subsidiaries related to Fortress Operating Group units (held by the principals) and income tax expense are added back in its calculation. Distributable earnings is not a measure of cash generated by operations which is available for distribution nor should it be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flow or net income and it is not necessarily indicative of liquidity or cash available to fund our operations. For a complete discussion of distributable earnings and its reconciliation to GAAP, as well as an explanation of the calculation of distributable earnings impairment, see note 10 to our financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Our management uses distributable earnings:
- in its determination of periodic distributions to equity holders;
- in making operating decisions and assessing the performance of each of our core businesses;
- for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budgets; and
- as a valuation measure in strategic analyses in connection with the performance of our funds and the performance of our employees.
Growing distributable earnings is a key component to our business strategy and distributable earnings is the supplemental measure used by our management to evaluate the economic profitability of each of our businesses and our total operations. Therefore, we believe that it provides useful information to our investors in evaluating our operating performance. Our definition of distributable earnings is not based on any definition contained in our amended and restated operating agreement.
