Third Quarter 2010 Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, our GAAP net loss was $272 million compared to a loss of $190 million for third quarter 2009. Our GAAP net loss attributable to Class A Shareholders was $95 million, or $0.62 loss per diluted share, as compared to a loss of $59 million, or $0.43 loss per diluted share, for the third quarter 2009. Excluding principals agreement compensation, third quarter GAAP net loss was $32 million, as compared to net income of $50 million for third quarter 2009.
For the third quarter, fund management distributable earnings was $71 million compared to $51 million in the third quarter of 2009.
Pre-tax DE for the third quarter was $78 million, or $0.15 per dividend paying share, versus $57 million for the third quarter of 2009, or $0.11 per dividend paying share.
Our segment distributable earnings increased period-over-period while our GAAP results decreased. This is primarily a result of the way we record incentive income from PE style funds, as well as from hedge funds in interim periods. In determining distributable earnings, we generally recognize PE style incentive income when gains are realized and hedge fund incentive income based on current returns, and we recognize our employees’ share of this income as compensation expense at the same time. In contrast, GAAP requires that we recognize the compensation when incurred, but we must defer the recognition of the revenue until all contingencies, primarily minimum returns over the lives of the PE style funds and annual performance requirements of the hedge funds, are resolved – regardless of the probability of such returns being met. As a result, when we have significant PE style realizations or positive returns in our hedge funds, as we had in the first nine months of 2010 and which we regard as a positive event, the related incentive income impact improves our segment distributable earnings while reducing our GAAP results for the same period.
“This was a very solid quarter for Fortress, driven by strong investment performance,” stated Daniel Mudd, Chief Executive Officer. “Our hedge funds produced significant incentive income, our credit business remains in a sweet spot, attractive private equity opportunities are emerging, and assets under management continue to build. Fortress’s strengths—structuring expertise, operational depth, broad deal flow and experienced management—play to both the ‘Great Deleveraging’ and choppy markets. This combination can produce exceptional results for our investors.”

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.
The following discussion of our results is based on segment reporting as presented in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our GAAP statement of operations and balance sheet are presented following this discussion.

Credit - Private Equity Funds
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company’s credit private equity fund business generated pre-tax DE of $7 million as compared to $9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Assets under management for the credit private equity funds was $4.1 billion at September 30, 2010 compared to $3.4 billion at September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2010, the credit private equity funds have approximately $3.0 billion of uncalled or recallable committed capital that will become assets under management when invested.
Principal Investments
At September 30, 2010, we had $744 million of segment assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) in our principal investments segment, compared to $805 million (excluding cash and cash equivalents) at September 30, 2009. Segment asset totals do not include net unrealized gains of $172 million, primarily on private equity type investments, which would be recognized as segment investment income when realized.
Our principal investments segment generated a net gain of $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to gains of $10 million from our balance sheet investments offset by $3 million of interest expense.
We had $113 million of unfunded commitments to our principal investments as of September 30, 2010, of which we estimate that approximately $29 million will never be funded based on the funds’ operating agreements.
Segment Expenses
Segment expenses were $120 million in the third quarter of 2010, up from $67 million for the third quarter of 2009. Segment expenses for the third quarter of 2010 included $32 million of profit sharing compensation, which is a function of revenues earned from our various funds and managed accounts.
The Company had $296 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 September 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
In October 2010, we executed a new credit agreement and repaid the previous credit agreement in full. The new credit agreement includes a $280 million term loan and a $60 million revolving credit facility. The new term loan expires in October 2015, the new revolver expires in October 2013 and the credit agreement bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 400 basis points (with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1.75%).
As of October 31, 2010, we have $280 million of debt outstanding and have capacity available of $50 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 September 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.
