Asset Management

In the text portion of this press release, we present our Asset Management results as 1) Management fees and other revenue, and 2) Incentive fees.

For the second quarter of 2023, Asset Management operating revenue was $267 million, 1% higher than the second quarter of 2022. For the first half of 2023, Asset Management operating revenue was $532 million, 8% lower than the first half of 2022.

For the second quarter of 2023, management fees and other revenue was $261 million, 1% higher than the second quarter of 2022, and 1% higher than the first quarter of 2023. For the first half of 2023, management fees and other revenue was $520 million, 5% lower than the first half of 2022.

Average assets under management (AUM) for the second quarter of 2023 was $235 billion, 2% higher than the second quarter of 2022, and 4% higher than the first quarter of 2023. Average AUM for the first half of 2023 was $231 billion, 5% lower than the first half of 2022.

AUM as of June 30, 2023, was $239 billion, 3% higher than March 31, 2023, and 10% higher than June 30, 2022. The sequential change from March 31, 2023 was driven by market appreciation of $8.8 billion, offset by foreign exchange depreciation of $0.6 billion and net outflows of $1.0 billion.

For the second quarter of 2023, incentive fees were $6 million, compared to $7 million for the second quarter of 2022. For the first half of 2023, incentive fees were $11 million, compared to $33 million for the first half of 2022.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Compensation and Benefits

In managing compensation and benefits expense, we focus on annual awarded compensation (cash compensation and benefits plus deferred incentive compensation with respect to the applicable year, net of estimated future forfeitures and excluding charges), a non-GAAP measure. We believe annual awarded compensation reflects the actual annual compensation cost more accurately than the GAAP measure of compensation cost, which includes applicable-year cash compensation and the amortization of deferred incentive compensation principally attributable to previous years’ deferred compensation. We believe that by managing our business using awarded compensation while targeting a consistent deferral policy, we can better manage our compensation costs, increase our flexibility in the future and build shareholder value over time.

For the second quarter of 2023, adjusted compensation and benefits expense1 was $424 million, compared to $395 million for the second quarter of 2022. The adjusted compensation ratio for the second quarter of 2023 was 68.4%, compared to the second-quarter 2022 ratio of 58.5%.

For the first half of 2023, adjusted compensation and benefits expense was $823 million, compared to $804 million for the first half of 2022.

Our goal remains to maintain a compensation-to-operating revenue ratio over the cycle in the mid- to high-50s percentage range on both an awarded and adjusted basis, while targeting a consistent deferral policy.

Non-Compensation Expense

For the second quarter of 2023, adjusted non-compensation expense1 was $144 million, 10% higher than the second quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting increased occupancy costs, as well as higher travel and business development and professional services expenses.

The ratio of adjusted non-compensation expense to operating revenue was 23.2% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 19.4% for the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted non-compensation expense for the first half of 2023 was $286 million, 15% higher than the first half of 2022. The ratio of adjusted non-compensation expense to operating revenue for the first half of 2023 was 24.9%, compared to 18.0% for the first half of 2022.

Our goal remains to maintain an adjusted non-compensation expense-to-operating revenue ratio over the cycle of 16% to 20%.

TAXES

The provision for taxes, on an adjusted basis1, was $10 million for the second quarter and a benefit of $0.5 million for the first half of 2023. The effective tax rate on the same basis was 31.2% for the second quarter of 2023 and 67.8% for the first half of 2023, compared to 26.4% and 25.9% for the respective 2022 periods.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND BALANCE SHEET

Our primary capital management goals include managing debt and returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

In the second quarter of 2023, Lazard returned $47 million to shareholders, which included: $43 million in dividends and $4 million in satisfaction of employee tax obligations in lieu of share issuances upon vesting of equity grants.

In the first half of 2023, Lazard returned $234 million to shareholders, which included: $86 million in dividends; $99 million in share repurchases of our common stock; and $49 million in satisfaction of employee tax obligations in lieu of share issuances upon vesting of equity grants.

During the first half of 2023, we repurchased 2.7 million shares. As of June 30, 2023, our remaining share repurchase authorization was $203 million.

On July 26, 2023, Lazard declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share on its outstanding common stock. The dividend is payable on August 18, 2023, to stockholders of record on August 7, 2023.

Lazard’s financial position remains strong. As of June 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were $698 million. Stockholders’ equity related to Lazard’s interests was $360 million.

ENDNOTES

1

A non-U.S. GAAP measure. See attached financial schedules and related notes for a detailed explanation of adjustments to corresponding U.S. GAAP results. We believe that presenting our results on an adjusted basis, in addition to the U.S. GAAP results, is the most meaningful and useful way to compare our operating results across periods.

 

2

Second-quarter and first-half 2023 adjusted results1 exclude pre-tax charges of $146.7 million and $167.4 million, respectively, relating to expenses associated with cost-saving initiatives; first-half pre-tax charges of $10.7 million relating to expenses associated with senior management transition, a benefit pursuant to tax receivable agreement obligation (“TRA”) of $40.4 million, and $19.1 million relating to certain asset impairment charges. On a U.S. GAAP basis, these resulted in a net charge of $146.7 million, or $1.65, per share, diluted, for the second quarter, and a net charge of $145.9 million, or $1.66, per share, diluted, for the first half of 2023.
