Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report may contain forward looking statements that are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements include, but are not limited to, discussions related to Apollo’s expectations regarding the performance of its business, its liquidity and capital resources and the other non-historical statements in the discussion and analysis. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used in this quarterly report, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks relating to our dependence on certain key personnel, our ability to raise new private equity, credit or real estate funds, market conditions generally, our ability to manage our growth, fund performance, changes in our regulatory environment and tax status, the variability of our revenues, net income and cash flow, our use of leverage to finance our businesses and investments by our funds and litigation risks, among others. We believe these factors include but are not limited to those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2013, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this quarterly report and in other filings. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Terms Used in This Report

In this quarterly report, references to “Apollo,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer collectively to Apollo Global Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its subsidiaries, including the Apollo Operating Group and all of its subsidiaries;

“AMH” refers to Apollo Management Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership owned by APO Corp. and Holdings;

“Apollo funds” and “our funds” refer to the funds, alternative asset companies and other entities that are managed by the Apollo Operating Group;

“Apollo Operating Group” refers to (i) the limited partnerships through which our Managing Partners currently operate our businesses and (ii) one or more limited partnerships formed for the purpose of, among other activities, holding certain of our gains or losses on our principal investments in the funds, which we refer to as our “principal investments”

“Assets Under Management,” or “AUM,” refers to the investments we manage or with respect to which we have control, including capital we have the right to call from our investors pursuant to their capital commitments to various funds. Our AUM equals the sum of:


(i)	the fair value of our private equity investments plus the capital that we are entitled to call from our investors pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to the extent a fund is within the commitment period in which management fees are calculated based on total commitments to the fund;

(ii)

the net asset value, or “NAV,” of our credit funds, other than certain collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), which we measure by using the mark-to-market value of the aggregate principal amount of the underlying CLO and collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) credit funds that have a fee generating basis other than mark-to-market assets or liabilities, plus used or available leverage and/or capital commitments;


(iii)	the gross asset value or net asset value of our real estate entities and the structured portfolio company investments included within the funds we manage, which includes the leverage used by such structured portfolio companies;


(iv)	the incremental value associated with the reinsurance investments of the portfolio company assets that we manage; and


(v)	the fair value of any other investments that we manage plus unused credit facilities, including capital commitments for investments that may require pre-qualification

Table of Contents

before investment plus any other capital commitments available for investment that are not otherwise included in the clauses above.

Our AUM measure includes Assets Under Management for which we charge either no or nominal fees. Our definition of AUM is not based on any definition of Assets Under Management contained in our operating agreement or in any of our Apollo fund management agreements. We consider multiple factors for determining what should be included in our definition of AUM. Such factors include but are not limited to (1) our ability to influence the investment decisions for existing and available assets; (2) our ability to generate income from the underlying assets in our funds; and (3) the AUM measures that we use internally or believe are used by other investment managers. Given the differences in the investment strategies and structures among other alternative investment managers, our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations employed by other investment managers and, as a result, this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers;

Fee-generating AUM consists of assets that we manage and on which we earn management fees or monitoring fees pursuant to management agreements on a basis that varies among the Apollo funds. Management fees are normally based on “net asset value,” “gross assets,” “adjusted par asset value,” “adjusted cost of all unrealized portfolio investments,” “capital commitments,” “adjusted assets,” “stockholders’ equity,” “invested capital” or “capital contributions,” each as defined in the applicable management agreement. Monitoring fees, also referred to as advisory fees, generally are based on the total value of certain structured portfolio company investments, which normally includes leverage, less any portion of such total value that is already considered in fee-generating AUM;

Non-fee generating AUM consists of assets that do not produce management fees or monitoring fees. These assets generally consist of the following:


(i)	fair value above invested capital for those funds that earn management fees based on invested capital;


(ii)	net asset values related to general partner and co-investment ownership;


(iii)	unused credit facilities;


(iv)	available commitments on those funds that generate management fees on invested capital;


(v)	structured portfolio company investments that do not generate monitoring fees; and


(vi)	the difference between gross asset and net asset value for those funds that earn management fees based on net asset value.

We use non-fee generating AUM combined with fee-generating AUM as a performance measurement of our investment activities, as well as to monitor fund size in relation to professional resource and infrastructure needs. Non-fee generating AUM includes assets on which we could earn carried interest income;

“carried interest,” “carried interest income,” and “incentive income” refer to interests granted to Apollo by an Apollo fund that entitle Apollo to receive allocations, distributions or fees which are based on the performance of such fund or its underlying investments;

“Contributing Partners” refer to those of our partners and their related parties (other than our Managing Partners) who indirectly own (through Holdings) Apollo Operating Group units;

“feeder funds” refer to funds that operate by placing substantially all of their assets in, and conducting substantially all of their investment and trading activities through, a master fund, which is designed to facilitate collective investment by the participating feeder funds. With respect to certain of our funds that are organized in a master-feeder structure, the feeder funds are permitted to make investments outside the master fund when deemed appropriate by the fund’s investment manager;

“gross IRR” of a fund represents the cumulative investment-related cash flows for all of the investors in the fund on the basis of the actual timing of investment inflows and outflows (for unrealized investments assuming disposition on September 30, 2013 or other date specified) aggregated on a gross basis quarterly, and the return is annualized and compounded before management fees, carried interest and certain other fund expenses (including interest incurred by the fund itself) and measures the returns on the fund’s investments as a whole without regard to whether all of the returns would, if distributed, be payable to the fund’s investors;

“Holdings” means AP Professional Holdings, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership through which our Managing Partners and Contributing Partners hold their interests in the Apollo Operating Group units;

- 4-

Table of Contents

“Managing Partners” refer to Messrs. Leon Black, Joshua Harris and Marc Rowan collectively and, when used in reference to holdings of interests in Apollo or Holdings, includes certain related parties of such individuals;

“net IRR” of a private equity fund means the gross IRR applicable to all investors, including related parties which may not pay fees, net of management fees, organizational expenses, transaction costs, and certain other fund expenses (including interest incurred by the fund itself). The realized and the estimated unrealized value is adjusted such that up to 20.0% of the unrealized gain is allocated to the general partner, thereby reducing the balance attributable to fund investors’ carried interest all offset to the extent of interest income, and measures returns based on amounts that, if distributed, would be paid to investors of the fund, to the extent that a fund exceeds all requirements detailed within the applicable fund agreement;

“net return” represents the calculated return that is based on month-to-month changes in net assets and is calculated using the returns that have been geometrically linked based on capital contributions, distributions and dividend reinvestments, as applicable;

“our manager” means AGM Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is controlled by our Managing Partners;

“permanent capital” means capital of publicly traded vehicles that do not have redemption provisions or a requirement to return capital to investors upon exiting the investments made with such capital, except as required by applicable law, such as AP Alternative Assets, L.P. ("AAA"), Apollo Investment Corporation, Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc., Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc., Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc., and Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc.; such publicly traded vehicles may be required, or elect, to return all or a portion of capital gains and investment income;

“private equity investments” refer to (i) direct or indirect investments in existing and future private equity funds managed or sponsored by Apollo, (ii) direct or indirect co-investments with existing and future private equity funds managed or sponsored by Apollo, (iii) direct or indirect investments in securities which are not immediately capable of resale in a public market that Apollo identifies but does not pursue through its private equity funds, and (iv) investments of the type described in (i) through (iii) above made by Apollo funds; and

“Strategic Investors” refer to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, or “CalPERS,” and an affiliate of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, or “ADIA.”

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Apollo Global Management, LLC (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Apollo”) is a global alternative investment manager whose predecessor was founded in 1990. Its primary business is to raise, invest and manage private equity, credit and real estate funds as well as strategic investment accounts ("SIAs"), on behalf of pension, endowment and sovereign wealth funds, as well as other institutional and individual investors. For these investment management services, Apollo receives management fees generally related to the amount of assets managed, transaction and advisory fees for the investments made and carried interest income related to the performance of the respective funds that it manages. Apollo has three primary business segments:


•	Private equity—primarily invests in control equity and related debt instruments, convertible securities and distressed debt investments;


•	Credit—primarily invests in non-control corporate and structured debt instruments; and


•	Real estate—primarily invests in real estate equity for the acquisition and recapitalization of real estate assets, portfolios, platforms and operating companies, and real estate debt including first mortgage and mezzanine loans, preferred equity and commercial mortgage backed securities.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, the consolidated entities which are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, and certain entities which are not considered variable interest entities but which the Company controls through a majority voting interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Certain reclassifications, when applicable, have been made to the prior period's condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to conform to the current period's presentation and are disclosed accordingly.

Reorganization of the Company

The Company was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on July 3, 2007 and completed a reorganization of its predecessor businesses on July 13, 2007 (the “2007 Reorganization”). The Company is managed and operated by its manager, AGM Management, LLC, which in turn is indirectly wholly-owned and controlled by the Managing Partners.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company owned, through three intermediate holding companies that include APO Corp., a Delaware corporation that is a domestic corporation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, APO Asset Co., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is a disregarded entity for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, and APO (FC), LLC, an Anguilla limited liability company that is treated as a corporation for U.S Federal income tax purposes (collectively, the “Intermediate Holding Companies”), 38.3% of the economic interests of, and operated and controlled all of the businesses and affairs of, the Apollo Operating Group through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Holdings is the entity through which the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners indirectly beneficially own interests in each of the partnerships that comprise the Apollo Operating Group (“AOG Units”) that represented 61.7% of the economic interests in the Apollo Operating Group as of September 30, 2013. The Company consolidates the financial results of

(dollars in thousands except share data)

the Apollo Operating Group and its consolidated subsidiaries. Holdings’ ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group is reflected as a Non-Controlling Interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Apollo also entered into an exchange agreement with Holdings (as amended, the “Exchange Agreement”) that allows the holders of the AOG Units (and certain permitted transferees thereof), subject to the applicable vesting and minimum retained ownership requirements and transfer restrictions to exchange, upon notice (subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement), their AOG Units for the Company’s Class A shares on a one-for-one basis up to four times each year, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for splits, distributions and reclassifications. Under the Exchange Agreement, a holder of AOG Units must simultaneously exchange one partnership unit in each of the Apollo Operating Group partnerships to effectuate an exchange for one Class A share. As a holder exchanges its AOG Units, the Company’s indirect interest in the Apollo Operating Group will be correspondingly increased.

On May 15, 2013, the Company completed its public offering for resale of approximately 24.3 million Class A shares owned by its Strategic Investors and certain of its Managing Partners, Contributing Partners and employees (collectively, the “Selling Shareholders”) at a price to the public of $25.00 per Class A share, which included approximately 3.2 million Class A shares sold by the Selling Shareholders upon the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares (the “Secondary Offering”). In connection with the Secondary Offering, certain holders of AOG Units exchanged their AOG Units for Class A shares and approximately 8.8 million Class A shares were issued by the Company in the exchange. No proceeds were received by the Company from the sale of Class A shares by the Selling Shareholders in the Secondary Offering. All underwriting costs were borne by the Selling Shareholders. The Company incurred approximately $3.0 million of fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, consisting of legal and professional fees and filing costs, as a result of the Secondary Offering.

As a result of the exchange of AOG Units into Class A shares, the Company's economic interests in the Apollo Operating Group increased from 35.6% to 38.0% and Holdings' economic interests in the Apollo Operating Group decreased from 64.4% to 62.0%. The dilution of Holdings' economic interests in the Apollo Operating Group is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity in the line titled Exchange of AOG Units for Class A shares, where $50.8 million was transferred to Apollo Global Management, LLC's shareholders' equity from Non-Controlling Interests in the Apollo Operating Group. Additionally, as a result of the exchange of AOG Units into Class A shares, the Company recognized a step-up in tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Similar to its 2007 Reorganization, the Company recognized an increase in its deferred tax asset, tax receivable agreement liability and shareholders' equity as a result of the exchange of AOG Units into Class A shares. Refer to note 7 and note 11 for a discussion of the increase in deferred taxes, tax receivable agreement liability and additional paid in capital as a result of the exchange of AOG Units into Class A shares.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation—Apollo consolidates those entities it controls through a majority voting interest or through other means, including those funds in which the general partner is presumed to have control (e.g., AP Alternative Assets, L.P., (“AAA”) and the Apollo Credit Senior Loan Fund, L.P. (“Apollo Senior Loan Fund”)). Apollo also consolidates entities that are VIEs for which Apollo is the primary beneficiary. Under the amended consolidation rules, an enterprise is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s business and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries hold equity interests in and/or receive fees qualifying as variable interests from the entities that the Company manages. The amended consolidation rules require an analysis to determine whether (a) an entity in which Apollo holds a variable interest is a VIE and (b) Apollo’s involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests (e.g., carried interest and management fees), would give it a controlling financial interest. When the VIE has qualified for the deferral of the amended consolidation rules in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the analysis is based on previous consolidation rules, which require an analysis to determine whether (a) an entity in which Apollo holds a variable interest is a VIE and (b) Apollo’s involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests (e.g., carried interest and management fees), would be expected to absorb a majority of the variability of the entity.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands except share data)

Under both the previous and amended consolidation rules, the determination of whether an entity in which Apollo holds a variable interest is a VIE requires judgments which include determining whether the equity investment at risk is sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, evaluating whether the equity holders, as a group, can make decisions that have a significant effect on the success of the entity, determining whether two or more parties’ equity interests should be aggregated, and determining whether the equity investors have proportionate voting rights to their obligations to absorb losses or rights to receive returns from an entity. Under both the previous and amended consolidation rules, Apollo determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion continuously. The consolidation analysis can generally be performed qualitatively. However, if it is not readily apparent whether Apollo is the primary beneficiary, a quantitative expected losses and expected residual returns calculation will be performed. Investments and redemptions (either by Apollo, affiliates of Apollo or third parties) or amendments to the governing documents of the respective Apollo fund may affect an entity’s status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary.

Apollo assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary and will consolidate or deconsolidate the entity accordingly. Performance of that assessment requires the exercise of judgment. Where the variable interests have qualified for the deferral, judgments are made in estimating cash flows in evaluating which member within the equity group absorbs a majority of the expected profits or losses of the VIE. Where the variable interests have not qualified for the deferral, judgments are made in determining whether a member in the equity group has a controlling financial interest, including power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and rights to receive benefits or obligations to absorb losses that are potentially significant to the VIE. Under both guidelines, judgment is made in evaluating the nature of the relationships and activities of the parties involved in determining if there is a related-party group, and if so, which party within the related-party group is most closely associated with the VIE. The use of these judgments has a material impact to certain components of Apollo’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain of the consolidated VIEs were formed to issue collateralized notes in the legal form of debt backed by financial assets. The difference between the fair value of the assets and liabilities of these VIEs is presented within appropriated partners’ capital in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as these VIEs are funded solely with debt. Changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities of these VIEs and the related interest and other income is presented within net gains from investment activities of consolidated variable interest entities and net (income) loss attributable to Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Such amounts are recorded within appropriated partners’ capital as, in each case, the VIE’s note holders, not Apollo, will ultimately receive the benefits or absorb the losses associated with the VIE’s assets and liabilities.

Assets and liability amounts of the consolidated VIEs are shown in separate sections within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Refer to additional disclosures regarding VIEs in note 4. Intercompany transactions and balances, if any, have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Equity Method Investments—For investments in entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation, the Company uses the equity method of accounting, whereby the Company records its share of the underlying income or loss of such entities. Income (loss) from equity method investments is recognized as part of other income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying amounts of equity method investments are reflected in investments in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As the underlying entities that the Company manages and invests in are, for U.S. GAAP purposes, primarily investment companies which reflect their investments at estimated fair value, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments in such entities are at fair value.

Non-Controlling Interests—For entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, a portion of the income or loss and corresponding equity is allocated to owners other than Apollo. The aggregate of the income or loss and corresponding equity that is not owned by the Company is included in Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2013, the Non-Controlling Interests relating to Apollo Global Management, LLC primarily includes the 61.7% ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group held by the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners through their limited partner interests in Holdings and other ownership interests in consolidated entities, which primarily consist of the approximately 97% ownership interest held by limited partners in AAA as of September 30, 2013. Non-Controlling Interests also include limited partner interests of Apollo managed funds in certain consolidated VIEs.

(dollars in thousands except share data)

Non-Controlling Interests are presented as a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The primary components of Non-Controlling Interests are separately presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity to clearly distinguish the interest in the Apollo Operating Group and other ownership interests in the consolidated entities. Net income (loss) includes the net income (loss) attributable to the holders of Non-Controlling Interests on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Profits and losses are allocated to Non-Controlling Interests in proportion to their relative ownership interests regardless of their basis.

Revenues—Revenues are reported in three separate categories that include (i) advisory and transaction fees from affiliates, which relate to the investments of the funds and may include individual monitoring agreements the Company has with the portfolio companies and debt investment vehicles of the private equity funds and credit funds; (ii) management fees from affiliates, which are based on committed capital, invested capital, net asset value, gross assets or as otherwise defined in the respective agreements; and (iii) carried interest income (loss) from affiliates, which is normally based on the performance of the funds subject to preferred return.

Advisory and Transaction Fees from Affiliates—Advisory and transaction fees, including directors’ fees, are recognized when the underlying services rendered are substantially completed in accordance with the terms of the transaction and advisory agreements. Additionally, during the normal course of business, the Company incurs certain costs related to certain transactions that are not consummated (“broken deal costs”). These costs (e.g. research costs, due diligence costs, professional fees, legal fees and other related items) are determined to be broken deal costs upon management’s decision to no longer pursue the transaction. In accordance with the related fund agreement, in the event the deal is deemed broken, all of the costs are reimbursed by the funds and then included in the calculation of the Management Fee Offset described below. If a deal is successfully completed, Apollo is reimbursed by the fund or fund’s portfolio company of all costs incurred and no offset is generated.

Advisory and transaction fees from affiliates also include underwriting fees. Underwriting fees include gains, losses and fees, net of syndicate expenses, arising from securities offerings in which one of the Company’s subsidiaries participates in the underwriter syndicate. Underwriting fees are recognized at the time the underwriting is completed and the income is reasonably assured and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Underwriting fees recognized but not received are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

As a result of providing advisory services to certain private equity and credit portfolio companies, Apollo is generally entitled to receive fees for transactions related to the acquisition, in certain cases, and disposition of portfolio companies as well as ongoing monitoring of portfolio company operations and directors’ fees. The amounts due from portfolio companies are included in “—Due from Affiliates,” which is discussed further in note 11. Under the terms of the limited partnership agreements for certain funds, the management fee payable by the funds may be subject to a reduction based on a certain percentage of such advisory and transaction fees, net of applicable broken deal costs (“Management Fee Offset”). Such amounts are presented as a reduction to advisory and transaction fees from affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Management Fees from Affiliates—Management fees for private equity, real estate and credit funds are recognized in the period during which the related services are performed in accordance with the contractual terms of the related agreement, and are generally based upon (1) a percentage of the capital committed during the commitment period, and thereafter based on the remaining invested capital of unrealized investments, or (2) net asset value, gross assets or as otherwise defined in the respective agreements.

Carried Interest Income from Affiliates—Apollo is entitled to an incentive return that can normally amount to as much as 20% of the total returns on funds’ capital, depending upon performance. Performance-based fees are assessed as a percentage of the investment performance of the funds. The carried interest income from affiliates for any period is based upon an assumed liquidation of the fund’s net assets on the reporting date, and distribution of the net proceeds in accordance with the fund’s income allocation provisions. Carried interest receivable is presented separately in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The carried interest income from affiliates may be subject to reversal to the extent that the carried interest income recorded exceeds the amount due to the general partner based on a fund’s cumulative investment returns. When applicable, the accrual for potential repayment of previously received carried interest income, which is a component of due to affiliates, represents all amounts previously distributed to the general partner that would need to be repaid to the Apollo funds if these funds were to be liquidated based on the current fair value of the underlying funds’ investments as

of the reporting date. The actual general partner obligation, however, would not become payable or realized until the end of a fund’s life.

Investments, at Fair Value—The Company follows U.S. GAAP attributable to fair value measurements which, among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. Investments, at fair value, represent investments of the consolidated funds, investments of the consolidated VIEs and certain financial instruments for which the fair value option was elected. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value are reflected as net gains (losses) from investment activities and net gains (losses) from investment activities of the consolidated variable interest entities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level I—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivatives. As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and the sale of such position would likely deviate from the quoted price.

Level II—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. Investments that are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs. These investments exhibit higher levels of liquid market observability as compared to Level III investments. The Company subjects broker quotes to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular investment would qualify for treatment as a Level II investment. These criteria include, but are not limited to, the number and quality of broker quotes, the standard deviation of obtained broker quotes, and the percentage deviation from independent pricing services.

Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little observable market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments that are included in this category generally include general and limited partnership interests in corporate private equity and real estate funds, opportunistic credit funds, distressed debt and non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations and CDOs and CLOs where the fair value is based on observable inputs as well as unobservable inputs. When a security is valued based on broker quotes, the Company subjects those quotes to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular investment would qualify for treatment as a Level II or Level III investment. Some of the factors we consider include the number of broker quotes we obtain, the quality of the broker quotes, the standard deviations of the observed broker quotes and the corroboration of the broker quotes to independent pricing services.

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 when the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

In cases where an investment or financial instrument that is measured and reported at fair value is transferred into or out of Level III of the fair value hierarchy, the Company accounts for the transfer as of the end of the reporting period.

Private Equity Investments

The value of liquid investments, where the primary market is an exchange (whether foreign or domestic) is determined using period end market prices. Such prices are generally based on the close price on the date of determination.

Valuation approaches used to estimate the fair value of investments that are less liquid include the market approach and the income approach. The market approach provides an indication of fair value based on a comparison of the subject company to comparable publicly traded companies and transactions in the industry. The market approach is driven more by

(dollars in thousands except share data)

current market conditions, including actual trading levels of similar companies and, to the extent available, actual transaction data of similar companies. Judgment is required by management when assessing which companies are similar to the subject company being valued. Consideration may also be given to such factors as the Company’s historical and projected financial data, valuations given to comparable companies, the size and scope of the Company’s operations, the Company’s strengths, weaknesses, expectations relating to the market’s receptivity to an offering of the Company’s securities, applicable restrictions on transfer, industry and market information and assumptions, general economic and market conditions and other factors deemed relevant. The income approach provides an indication of fair value based on the present value of cash flows that a business or security is expected to generate in the future. The most widely used methodology used in the income approach is a discounted cash flow method. Inherent in the discounted cash flow method are assumptions of expected results and a calculated discount rate.

On a quarterly basis, Apollo utilizes a valuation committee, consisting of members from senior management, to review and approve the valuation results related to its funds' private equity investments. The Company also retains independent valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services to Apollo, which consist of certain limited procedures that management identifies and requests them to perform. The limited procedures provided by the independent valuation firms assist management with validating their valuation results or determining fair value. The Company performs various back-testing procedures to validate their valuation approaches, including comparisons between expected and observed outcomes, forecast evaluations and variance analyses. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

Credit Investments

The majority of the investments in Apollo’s credit funds are valued based on quoted market prices and valuation models. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value utilizing recognized pricing services, market participants or other sources. When market quotations are not available, a model based approach is used to determine fair value. The credit funds also enter into foreign currency exchange contracts, total return swap contracts, credit default swap contracts, and other derivative contracts, which may include options, caps, collars and floors. Foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. If securities are held at the end of this period, the changes in value are recorded in income as unrealized. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. Total return swap contracts and credit default swap contracts are recorded at fair value as an asset or liability with changes in fair value recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized at the termination of the contract based on the difference between the close-out price of the total return or credit default swap contract and the original contract price.

Forward contracts are valued based on market rates obtained from counterparties or prices obtained from recognized financial data service providers. When determining fair value pricing when no market value exists, the value attributed to an investment is based on the enterprise value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation approaches used to estimate the fair value of illiquid investments included in Apollo’s credit funds also may use the income approach or market approach. The valuation approaches used consider, as applicable, market risks, credit risks, counterparty risks and foreign currency risks.

Real Estate Investments

The estimated fair value of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) in Apollo’s funds is determined by reference to market prices provided by certain dealers who make a market in these financial instruments. Broker quotes are only indicative of fair value and may not necessarily represent what the funds would receive in an actual trade for the applicable instrument. Additionally, the loans held-for-investment are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees

and costs for certain investments. For Apollo’s opportunistic and value added real estate funds, valuations of non-marketable underlying investments are determined using methods that include, but are not limited to (i) discounted cash flow estimates or comparable analysis prepared internally, (ii) third party appraisals or valuations by qualified real estate appraisers, and (iii) contractual sales value of investments/properties subject to bona fide purchase contracts. Methods (i) and (ii) also incorporate consideration of the use of the income, cost, or sales comparison approaches of estimating property values.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Except for the Company’s debt obligation related to the AMH Credit Agreement (as defined in note 8), Apollo’s financial instruments are recorded at fair value or at amounts whose carrying value approximates fair value. See “Investments, at Fair Value” above. While Apollo’s valuations of portfolio investments are based on assumptions that Apollo believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the actual realized gains or losses will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may ultimately differ significantly from the assumptions on which the valuations were based. Other financial instruments’ carrying values generally approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments or variable interest rates related to the borrowings. As disclosed in note 8, the Company’s long term debt obligation related to the AMH Credit Agreement is believed to have an estimated fair value of approximately $770.9 million based on a yield analysis using available market data of comparable securities with similar terms and remaining maturities as of September 30, 2013. However, the carrying value that is recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition is the amount for which we expect to settle the long term debt obligation. The Company has determined that the long term debt obligation related to the AMH Credit Agreement would be categorized as a Level III liability in the fair-value hierarchy.

Fair Value Option—Apollo has elected the fair value option for the convertible notes issued by HFA Holdings Limited (“HFA”) and for the assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs. Such election is irrevocable and is applied to financial instruments on an individual basis at initial recognition. Apollo has applied the fair value option for certain corporate loans, other investments and debt obligations held by the consolidated VIEs that otherwise would not have been carried at fair value. For the convertible notes issued by HFA, Apollo has elected to separately present interest income from other changes in the fair value of the convertible notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to notes 3 and 4 for further disclosure on the investment in HFA and financial instruments of the consolidated VIEs for which the fair value option has been elected.

Financial Instruments held by Consolidated VIEs

The consolidated VIEs hold investments that are traded over-the-counter. Investments in securities that are traded on a securities exchange or comparable over-the-counter quotation systems are valued based on the last reported sale price at that date. If no sales of such investments are reported on such date, and in the case of over-the-counter securities or other investments for which the last sale date is not available, valuations are based on independent market quotations obtained from market participants, recognized pricing services or other sources deemed relevant, and the prices are based on the average of the “bid” and “ask” prices, or at ascertainable prices at the close of business on such day. Market quotations are generally based on valuation pricing models or market transactions of similar securities adjusted for security-specific factors such as relative capital structure priority and interest and yield risks, among other factors. When market quotations are not available, a model based approach is used to determine fair value.

estimate the fair values of debt obligations for which market quotations are not available is the discounted cash flow method, which includes consideration of the cash flows of the debt obligation based on projected quarterly interest payments and quarterly amortization. Debt obligations are discounted based on the appropriate yield curve given the loan’s respective maturity and credit rating. Management uses its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors for determining the valuations of its debt obligations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Identifiable finite-life intangible assets, by contrast, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which are periodically re-evaluated for impairment or when circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred. Apollo amortizes its identifiable finite-life intangible assets using a method of amortization reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits of the finite-life intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up. If that pattern cannot be reliably determined, Apollo uses the straight-line method of amortization. At June 30, 2013, the Company performed its annual impairment testing. As the fair value of the Company’s reporting units was well in excess of the carrying value as of June 30, 2013, there was no impairment of goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets at such time.

Compensation and Benefits

Equity-Based Compensation—Equity-based awards granted to employees as compensation are measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Equity-based awards that do not require future service (i.e., vested awards) are expensed immediately. Equity-based employee awards that require future service are expensed over the relevant service period. The Company estimates forfeitures for equity-based awards that are not expected to vest. Equity-based awards granted to non-employees for services provided to affiliates are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period and expensed over the relevant service period.

Salaries, Bonus and Benefits—Salaries, bonus and benefits include base salaries, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses, severance and employee benefits. Bonuses are generally accrued over the related service period.

Also included within salaries, bonus and benefits is the expense related to profits interests issued to certain employees whereby they are entitled to a share in earnings and any appreciation in the value of a subsidiary of the Company during their term of employment. The expense related to these profits interests is recognized ratably over the requisite service period and thereafter will be recognized at the time the distributions are determined.

From time to time, the Company may assign profits interests received in lieu of management fees to certain investment professionals. Such assignments of profits interests are treated as compensation and benefits when assigned.

The Company sponsors a 401(k) Savings Plan whereby U.S. based employees are entitled to participate in the plan based upon satisfying certain eligibility requirements. The Company may provide discretionary contributions from time to time. No contributions relating to this plan were made by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Profit Sharing Expense—Profit sharing expense primarily consists of a portion of carried interest recognized in one or more funds allocated to employees and former employees. Profit sharing expense is recognized on an accrued basis as the related carried interest income is earned. Profit sharing expense can be reversed during periods when there is a decline in carried interest income that was previously recognized. Additionally, profit sharing expenses previously distributed may be subject to clawback from employees, former employees and Contributing Partners.

Changes in the fair value of the contingent obligations that were recognized in connection with certain Apollo acquisitions are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as profit sharing expense.

The Company has a performance based incentive arrangement for certain Apollo partners and employees designed to more closely align compensation on an annual basis with the overall realized performance of the Company. This arrangement enables certain partners and employees to earn discretionary compensation based on carried interest realizations earned by the Company in a given year, which amounts are reflected in profit sharing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other Income (Loss)

- 18-

Table of Contents

APOLLO GLOBAL MANAGEMENT, LLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands except share data)

Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities—Net gains (losses) from investment activities include both realized gains and losses and the change in unrealized gains and losses in the Company’s investment portfolio between the opening balance sheet date and the closing balance sheet date. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) of investments, at fair value.

Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities of Consolidated Variable Interest Entities—Changes in the fair value of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities and related interest, dividend and other income and expenses subsequent to consolidation are presented within net gains (losses) from investment activities of consolidated variable interest entities and are attributable to Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other Income (Loss), Net—Other income (loss), net includes the recognition of bargain purchase gains as a result of Apollo acquisitions, gains (losses) arising from the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, reversal of a portion of the tax receivable agreement liability (see note 11), gains (losses) arising from the remeasurement of derivative instruments associated with fees from certain of the Company’s affiliates and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expenses.

Net Income (Loss) Per Class A Share—U.S. GAAP requires use of the two-class method of computing earnings per share for all periods presented for each class of common stock and participating security as if all earnings for the period had been distributed. Under the two-class method, during periods of net income, the net income is first reduced for distributions declared on all classes of securities to arrive at undistributed earnings. During periods of net losses, the net loss is reduced for distributions declared on participating securities only if the security has the right to participate in the earnings of the entity and an objectively determinable contractual obligation to share in net losses of the entity.

The remaining earnings are allocated to Class A shares and participating securities to the extent that each security shares in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Each total is then divided by the applicable number of shares to arrive at basic earnings per share. For the diluted earnings, the denominator includes all outstanding common shares and all potential common shares assumed issued if they are dilutive. The numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from a hypothetical conversion of these potential common shares.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Apollo’s most significant estimates include goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes, carried interest income from affiliates, contingent consideration obligations related to acquisitions, non-cash compensation and fair value of investments and debt in the consolidated and unconsolidated funds and VIEs. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to enhance disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset. Under the guidance, an entity is required to disclose quantitative information relating to recognized assets and liabilities that are offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, including the gross amounts of those recognized assets and liabilities, the amounts offset to determine the net amount presented in the statement of financial position, and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position. With respect to amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement which are not offset, disclosure is required of the amounts related to recognized financial instruments and other derivative instruments, the amount related to financial collateral (including cash collateral), and the overall net amount after considering amounts that have not been offset. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods and retrospective application is required. As the amendments are limited to disclosure only, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the scope of disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments clarify that the scope of guidance issued in December 2011 to enhance disclosures around financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset, or (2) subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset, applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either

offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As the amendments are limited to disclosure only, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued amended guidance related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not to be less than the carrying amount, then the entity must perform the quantitative impairment test; otherwise, further testing would not be required. The amendments are effective for all entities for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. In conjunction with the annual goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2013, utilizing the two step method described above, the Company concluded these amendments did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance does not change the requirement for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The guidance is effective prospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2012. As the amendments are limited to presentation and disclosure only, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2013, the FASB issued guidance that requires an entity to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent. The financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting should present relevant information about the expected resources in liquidation by measuring and presenting assets at the amount of the expected cash proceeds from liquidation. The entity should include in its presentation of assets any items it had not previously recognized under U.S. GAAP but that it expects to either sell in liquidation or use in settling liabilities. Liabilities should be recognized and measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP that otherwise applies to those liabilities. The guidance requires an entity to accrue and separately present the costs that it expects to incur and the income that it expects to earn during the expected duration of the liquidation, including any costs associated with the sale or settlement of those assets and liabilities. Additionally, the amended guidance requires disclosures about an entity's plan for liquidation, the methods and significant assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities, the type and amount of costs and income accrued, and the expected duration of the liquidation process. The guidance is effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. Entities should apply the requirements prospectively from the day that liquidation becomes imminent and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB issued guidance to change the assessment of whether an entity is an investment company by developing a new two-tiered approach that requires an entity to possess certain fundamental characteristics while allowing judgment in assessing certain typical characteristics. The fundamental characteristics that an investment company must have include the following: (1) it obtains funds from one or more investors and provides the investor(s) with investment management services; (2) it commits to its investor(s) that its business purpose and only substantive activities are investing the funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both; and (3) it does not obtain returns or benefits from an investee or its affiliates that are not normally attributable to ownership interests. The typical characteristics of an investment company that an entity should consider before concluding whether it is an investment company include the following: (1) it has more than one investment; (2) it has more than one investor; (3) it has investors that are not related parties of the parent or the investment manager; (4) it has ownership interests in the form of equity or partnership interests; and (5) it manages substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis. The new approach requires an entity to assess all of the characteristics of an investment company and consider its purpose and design to determine whether it is an investment company. The guidance includes disclosure requirements about an entity's status as an investment company and financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to its investees. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December

15, 2013. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance to eliminate the diversity in practice on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Under the new guidance, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statement as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date (e.g. an entity should not evaluate whether the deferred tax asset expires before the statute of limitations on the tax position or whether the deferred tax asset may be used prior to the unrecognized tax benefit being settled). The guidance does not require new recurring disclosures. The guidance applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Securities

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the sole investment held by AAA was its investment in AAA Investments, L.P. (“AAA Investments”), which is measured based on AAA’s share of net asset value of AAA Investments. The following tables represent each investment of AAA Investments constituting more than five percent of the net assets of the funds that the Company consolidates (excluding VIEs) as of the aforementioned dates:

AAA Investments owns through its subsidiaries the majority of the economic equity of Athene Holding Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries, “Athene”). Athene Holding Ltd. is the ultimate parent of various insurance company operating subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, Athene Holding Ltd. provides insurance products focused primarily on the retirement market and its business centers primarily on issuing or reinsuring fixed and equity indexed annuities. See note 15 for further information regarding Athene and its recently completed acquisition of the U.S. annuity operations of Aviva plc ("Aviva USA").

During the fourth quarter of 2012, AAA and AAA Investments consummated a transaction whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAA Investments contributed substantially all of its investments to Athene Holding Ltd. in exchange for common shares of Athene Holding Ltd., cash and a short term promissory note (the “AAA Transaction”). Following receipt of required regulatory consents, AAA Investments, through a subsidiary, transferred its remaining investments to Athene Holding Ltd. on July 29, 2013. After the AAA Transaction, Athene Holding Ltd. was AAA’s only material investment and as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, AAA, through its investment in AAA Investments was the largest shareholder of Athene Holding Ltd. with an economic ownership stake of approximately 72.5% and 77.2%, respectively (without giving effect to restricted common shares issued under Athene's management equity plan and conversion of AAA Investments' note receivable), and as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, effectively held 45% of the voting power of Athene.

Apollo Senior Loan Fund

On December 31, 2011, the Company invested $26.0 million in the Apollo Senior Loan Fund. As a result, the Company became the sole investor in the fund and therefore consolidated the assets and liabilities of the fund. The fund invests in U.S. denominated senior secured loans, senior secured bonds and other income generating fixed-income investments. At least 90% of the Apollo Senior Loan Fund’s portfolio of investments must consist of senior secured, floating rate loans or cash or cash equivalents. Up to 10% of the Apollo Senior Loan Fund’s portfolio may consist of non-first lien fixed income investments and other income generating fixed income investments, including but not limited to senior secured bonds. The Apollo Senior Loan Fund may not

purchase assets rated (tranche rating) at B3 or lower by Moody’s, or equivalent rating by another nationally recognized rating agency.

The Company has classified the instruments associated with the Apollo Senior Loan Fund investment as Level II and Level III investments. All Level II and Level III investments of the Apollo Senior Loan Fund were valued using broker quotes.

HFA

On March 7, 2011, the Company invested $52.1 million (including expenses related to the purchase) in a convertible note with an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million and received 20,833,333 stock options issued by HFA, an Australian based specialist global funds management company.

The terms of the convertible note allow the Company to convert the note, in whole or in part, into common shares of HFA at an exchange rate equal to the principal plus accrued payment-in-kind interest (or “PIK” interest) divided by US$0.98 at any time, and convey participation rights, on an as-converted basis, in any dividends declared in excess of $6.0 million per annum, as well as seniority rights over HFA common equity holders. Unless previously converted, repurchased or canceled, the note will be converted on the eighth anniversary of its issuance on March 11, 2019. Additionally, the note has a percentage coupon interest of 6% per annum, paid via principal capitalization (PIK interest) for the first four years, and thereafter either in cash or via principal capitalization at HFA’s discretion. The PIK interest provides for the Company to receive additional common shares of HFA if the note is converted. The Company has elected the fair value option for the convertible note. The convertible note is valued using an “if-converted basis,” which is based on a hypothetical exit through conversion to common equity (for which a quoted price exists) as of the valuation date. The Company separately presents interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations from other changes in the fair value of the convertible note. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in PIK interest income included in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in PIK interest income included in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The terms of the stock options allow for the Company to acquire 20,833,333 fully paid ordinary shares of HFA at an exercise price in Australian Dollars (“A$”) of A$8.00 (exchange rate of A$1.00 to $0.93 as of September 30, 2013) per stock option. The stock options became exercisable upon issuance and expire on the eighth anniversary of the issuance date. The stock options are accounted for as a derivative and are valued at their fair value under U.S. GAAP at each balance sheet date. As a result, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of approximately $8.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively, related to the convertible note and stock options within net gains from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $7.1 million and an unrealized gain of $2.1 million, respectively, related to the convertible note and stock options within net gains (losses) from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has classified the instruments associated with the HFA investment as Level III investments.

Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities

Net gains (losses) from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations include net realized gains from sales of investments, and the change in net unrealized gains (losses) resulting from changes in fair value of the consolidated funds’ investments and realization of previously unrealized gains (losses). Additionally, net gains (losses) from investment activities include changes in the fair value of the investment in HFA and other investments held at fair value. The following tables present Apollo’s net gains (losses) from investment activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

Balances include other assets, liabilities and general partner interests of AAA Investments. Balance at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is primarily comprised of $79.0 million and $113.3 million in notes receivable from an affiliate, respectively, less the obligation to the general partner of $81.3 million and $70.0 million, respectively. Carrying values approximate fair value for other assets and liabilities and, accordingly, extended valuation procedures are not required.

4. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company consolidates entities that are VIEs for which the Company has been designated as the primary beneficiary. The purpose of such VIEs is to provide strategy-specific investment opportunities for investors in exchange for management and performance based fees. The investment strategies of the entities that the Company manages may vary by entity; however, the fundamental risks of such entities have similar characteristics, including loss of invested capital and the return of carried interest income previously distributed to the Company by certain private equity and credit entities. The nature of the Company’s involvement with VIEs includes direct and indirect investments and fee arrangements. The Company does not provide performance guarantees and has no other financial obligations to provide funding to VIEs other than its own capital commitments. There is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated VIEs’ liabilities.

(dollars in thousands except share data)

The assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are comprised primarily of investments and debt, at fair value, and are included within assets and liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Apollo has consolidated VIEs in accordance with the methodology described in note 2. The majority of the consolidated VIEs were formed for the sole purpose of issuing collateralized notes to investors. The assets of these VIEs are primarily comprised of senior secured loans and the liabilities are primarily comprised of debt. Through its role as collateral manager of these VIEs, it was determined that Apollo had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs. Additionally, Apollo determined that the potential fees that it could receive directly and indirectly from these VIEs represent rights to returns that could potentially be significant to such VIEs. As a result, Apollo determined that it is the primary beneficiary and therefore should consolidate the VIEs.

The assets of these consolidated VIEs are not available to creditors of the Company. In addition, the investors in these consolidated VIEs have no recourse against the assets of the Company. The Company has elected the fair value option for financial instruments held by its consolidated VIEs, which includes investments in loans and corporate bonds, as well as debt obligations held by such consolidated VIEs. Other assets include amounts due from brokers and interest receivables. Other liabilities include payables for securities purchased, which represent open trades within the consolidated VIEs and primarily relate to corporate loans that are expected to settle within the next sixty days.

Fair Value Measurements

The following table summarizes the valuation of Apollo’s consolidated VIEs in fair value hierarchy levels as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:



	Level I				Level II				Level III				Totals

Level III investments include corporate loan and corporate bond investments held by the consolidated VIEs. Level III liabilities consist of notes and loans, the valuations of which are discussed further in note 2. All Level II investments were valued using broker quotes. Transfers of investments out of Level III and into Level II or Level I, if any, are accounted for as of the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no transfers between Level I and Level II investments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, transfers from Level II into Level I totaled $0 and $164, respectively. Transfers into Level I represent those financial instruments for which an unadjusted quoted price in an active market became available for the identical asset.

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 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.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the bank debt term loans and stocks include the discount rate applied and the multiples applied in the valuation models. These unobservable inputs in isolation can cause significant increases (decreases) in fair value. Specifically, when a discounted cash flow model is used to determine fair value, the significant input used in the valuation model is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. Increases in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value of an investment; conversely, decreases in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value of an investment. The discount rate is determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for a similar investment with similar risks. When a comparable multiple model is used to determine fair value, the comparable multiples are generally multiplied by the underlying companies’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to establish the total enterprise value of the company. The comparable multiple is determined based on the implied trading multiple of public industry peers.

The following table summarizes the changes in investments of consolidated VIEs, which are measured at fair value and characterized as Level III investments:

Senior Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes—Included within debt are amounts due to third-party institutions by the consolidated VIEs. The following table summarizes the principal provisions of the debt of the consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:



	September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
	Principal Outstanding		Weighted Average Interest Rate			Weighted Average Remaining Maturity in Years	Principal Outstanding		Weighted Average Interest Rate			Weighted Average Remaining Maturity in Years

Total	$	12,554,479					$	12,484,729


(1)	The subordinated notes do not have contractual interest rates but instead receive distributions from the excess cash flows of the VIEs.


(2)	The fair value of Senior Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $12,114 million and $11,835 million, respectively.

(3)

The debt at fair value of the consolidated VIEs is collateralized by assets of the consolidated VIEs and assets of one vehicle may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the consolidated VIE assets was $15,372 million and $14,672 million, respectively. This collateral consisted of cash and cash equivalents, investments, at fair value, and other assets.

The following table provides a summary of the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for liabilities, at fair value, categorized as Level III in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2013. The disclosure below excludes Level III liabilities, at fair value, as of September 30, 2013 for which the determination of fair value is based on broker quotes:



	As of September 30, 2013
	Fair Value		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Ranges	Weighted Average
Subordinated Notes	$	738,269	Discounted Cash	Discount Rate	10.0%-12.0%	10.5%
			Flow	Default Rate	1.0%-1.5%	1.2%
				Recovery Rate	75.0%	75.0%
Senior Secured Notes	$	2,070,056	Discounted Cash	Discount Rate	2.0%–2.3%	2.0%
			Flow	Default Rate	2.0%	2.0%
				Recovery Rate	30.0%–70.0%	65.7%

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the subordinated and senior secured notes include the discount rate applied in the valuation models, default and recovery rates applied in the valuation models. These inputs in isolation can cause significant increases (decreases) in fair value. Specifically, when a discounted cash flow model is used to determine fair value, the significant input used in the valuation model is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. Increases in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value of subordinated and senior secured notes; conversely, decreases in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value of subordinated and senior secured notes. The discount rate is determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for similar subordinated and senior secured notes with similar risks.

The consolidated VIEs have elected the fair value option to value the notes payable. The Company uses its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors in determining valuation of these loans. As of September 30, 2013, the debt, at fair value, is classified as Level III liabilities. Because of the inherent uncertainty in the valuation of the notes payable, which are not publicly traded, estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for such investments existed.

The Company’s provision for income taxes totaled $(47.2) million and $(21.9) million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $(83.9) million and $(47.1) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 6.35% and 9.98% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 4.86% and 1.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Under U.S. GAAP, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Based upon the Company’s review of its federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns and tax filing positions, the Company determined that no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions were required to be recorded. In addition, the Company does not believe that it has any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that it will be required to record significant amounts of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and certain state, local and foreign tax authorities. With a few exceptions, as of September 30, 2013, Apollo and its predecessor entities’ U.S. Federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns for the years 2009 through 2012 are open under the general statute of limitations provisions and therefore subject to examination. In addition, the State of New York is examining APO Corp.’s tax returns for tax years 2008 to 2010 and the Internal Revenue Service is examining the tax return of Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. for the tax year 2011 and the tax returns of APO Corp. for tax years 2010 and 2011 in connection with the net operating loss carryback claim from tax year 2011 to tax year 2010.

The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for the future amortization of tax basis intangibles as a result of the 2007 Reorganization. In connection with the Secondary Offering, as disclosed in note 1, the Company recognized an additional step-up in tax basis of intangibles as a result of the exchange of AOG Units for Class A shares in May 2013, resulting in an increase of $92.1 million in the deferred tax asset established from the 2007 Reorganization which was recorded in deferred tax assets in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition for the expected tax benefit associated with this increase. A related tax receivable agreement liability of $78.3 million was recorded in due to affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition for the expected payments under the tax receivable agreement entered into by and among APO Corp., the Managing Partners, the Contributing Partners, and other parties thereto (as amended, the "tax receivable agreement") (see note 11). The increase in the deferred tax asset less the related liability resulted in the increase to additional paid-in capital of $13.8 million which was recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The amortization period for these tax basis intangibles is 15 years. Accordingly, the related deferred tax assets will reverse over the same period. During the third quarter of 2013, Apollo adjusted its estimated rate of tax it expects to pay in the future and thereby reduced its net deferred tax assets, and increased its income tax provision, by $16.9 million (see note 11 for details regarding the tax receivable agreement).

Total Debt	$	728,273	4.04	%	$	737,818	4.93	%


(1)	Includes the effect of interest rate swaps.

AMH Credit Agreement—On April 20, 2007, Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. (“AMH”), a subsidiary of the Company which is a Delaware limited partnership owned by APO Corp. and Holdings, entered into a $1.0 billion seven year credit agreement (the “AMH Credit Agreement”). Interest payable under the AMH Credit Agreement may from time to time be based on Eurodollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) as determined by the borrower. Through the use of interest rate swaps, AMH irrevocably elected three-month LIBOR for $167 million of the debt for five years from the closing date of the AMH Credit Agreement, which expired in May 2012. The interest rate of the Eurodollar loan, which was amended as discussed below, is the daily Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin rate (3.75% for $995 million of the loan, as discussed below, and 1.00% for $5 million of the loan as of September 30, 2013 and 3.75% for $995 million of the loan and 1.00% for $5 million of the loan as of December 31, 2012). The interest rate on the ABR term loan, which was amended as discussed below, for any day, will be the greatest of (a) the prime rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.5% and (c) the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus the applicable margin. The AMH Credit Agreement originally had a maturity date of April 2014.

On December 20, 2010, Apollo amended the AMH Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of $995.0 million (including the $90.9 million of fair value debt repurchased by the Company) of the term loan from April 20, 2014 to January 3, 2017 and modified certain other terms of the AMH Credit Agreement. Pursuant to this amendment, AMH or an affiliate was required to purchase from each lender that elected to extend the maturity date of its term loan a portion of such extended term loan equal to 20% thereof. In addition, AMH or an affiliate is required to repurchase at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the term loan by December 31, 2014 and at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the term loan (inclusive of the previously purchased $50.0 million) by December 31, 2015 at a price equal to par plus accrued interest. The sweep leverage ratio was also extended to end at the new loan term maturity date. The interest rate for the highest applicable margin for the loan portion extended changed to LIBOR plus 4.25% and ABR plus 3.25%. On December 20, 2010, an affiliate of AMH that is a guarantor under the AMH Credit Agreement repurchased approximately $180.8 million of the term loan in connection with the extension of the maturity date of such loan and thus the AMH Credit Agreement (excluding the portions held by AMH affiliates) had a remaining balance of $728.3 million. The Company determined that the amendments to the AMH Credit Agreement resulted in a debt extinguishment which did not result in any gain or loss.

(dollars in thousands except share data)

The interest rate on the $723.3 million, net ($995.0 million portion less amount repurchased by the Company) of the loan at September 30, 2013 was 4.02% and the interest rate on the remaining $5.0 million portion of the loan at September 30, 2013 was 1.27%. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt obligation related to the AMH Credit Agreement is believed to be approximately $770.9 million based on a yield analysis using available market data of comparable securities with similar terms and remaining maturities. The $728.3 million carrying value of debt that is recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition at September 30, 2013 is the amount for which the Company expects to settle the AMH Credit Agreement. Interest expense incurred by the Company related to the AMH Credit Agreement was $7.4 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $22.1 million and $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the AMH Credit Agreement was guaranteed by, and collateralized by, substantially all of the assets of Apollo Principal Holdings II, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IV, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings V, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IX, L.P. and AMH, as well as cash proceeds from the sale of assets or similar recovery events and any cash deposited pursuant to the excess cash flow covenant, which will be deposited as cash collateral to the extent necessary as set forth in the AMH Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2013, the consolidated net assets (deficit) of Apollo Principal Holdings II, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IV, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings V, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IX, L.P. and AMH and its consolidated subsidiaries were $163.9 million, $140.0 million, $50.7 million, $206.8 million and $(776.3) million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, the consolidated net assets (deficit) of Apollo Principal Holdings II, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IV, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings V, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IX, L.P. and AMH and its consolidated subsidiaries were $94.9 million, $91.1 million, $62.3 million, $217.5 million and $(858.9) million, respectively.

In accordance with the AMH Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2013, Apollo Principal Holdings II, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IV, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings V, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IX, L.P. and AMH and their respective subsidiaries were subject to certain negative and affirmative covenants. Among other things, the AMH Credit Agreement includes an excess cash flow covenant and an asset sales covenant. The AMH Credit Agreement does not contain any financial maintenance covenants.

If AMH’s debt to EBITDA ratio (the “Leverage Ratio”) as of the end of any fiscal year exceeds the level set forth in the next sentence (the “Excess Sweep Leverage Ratio”), AMH must deposit in the cash collateral account the lesser of (a) 100% of its Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the AMH Credit Agreement) and (b) the amount necessary to reduce the Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis as of the end of such fiscal year to 0.25 to 1.00 below the Excess Sweep Leverage Ratio. The Excess Sweep Leverage Ratio is: for 2013, 4.00 to 1.00; for 2014, 3.75 to 1.00; for 2015, 3.50 to 1.00; and thereafter, 3.50 to 1.00.

In addition, AMH must deposit the lesser of (a) 50% of any remaining Excess Cash Flow and (b) the amount required to reduce the Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis at the end of each fiscal year to a level 0.25 to 1.00 below the Sweep Leverage Ratio (as defined in the next paragraph) for such fiscal year.

If AMH receives net cash proceeds from certain non-ordinary course asset sales, then such net cash proceeds shall be deposited in the cash collateral account as necessary to reduce its Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter (after giving effect to such non-ordinary course asset sale and such deposit) to (the following specified levels for the specified years, the “Sweep Leverage Ratio”) (i) for 2013, a Leverage Ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, (ii) for 2014, a Leverage Ratio of 3.25 to 1.00 and (iii) for 2015 and for all years thereafter, a Leverage Ratio of 3.00 to 1.00.

The AMH Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including events of default arising from non-payment, material misrepresentations, breaches of covenants, cross default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy and changes in control of AMH.

9. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER CLASS A SHARE

U.S. GAAP requires use of the two-class method of computing earnings per share for all periods presented for each class of common stock and participating security as if all earnings for the period had been distributed. Under the two-class method, during periods of net income, the net income is first reduced for distributions declared on all classes of securities to arrive at undistributed earnings. During periods of net losses, the net loss is reduced for distributions declared on participating securities only if the security has the right to participate in the earnings of the entity and an objectively determinable contractual obligation to share in net losses of the entity.

The remaining earnings are allocated to Class A shares and participating securities to the extent that each security shares in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Each total is then divided by the applicable number of shares to arrive at basic earnings per share. For the diluted earnings, the denominator includes all outstanding common shares and all potential common shares assumed issued if they are dilutive. The numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of these potential common shares.

The table below presents basic and diluted net income (loss) per Class A share using the two-class method for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

(1)	The Company declared a $1.05 distribution on Class A shares on February 8, 2013, a $0.57 distribution on May 6, 2013 and a $1.32 distribution on August 8, 2013.


(2)	The Company declared a $0.46 distribution on Class A shares on February 10, 2012, a $0.25 distribution on May 8, 2012, and a $0.24 distribution on Class A shares on August 2, 2012.


(3)	No allocation of losses was made to the participating securities as the holders do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company with Class A shareholders.

(4)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, share options and unvested RSUs were determined to be dilutive, and were accordingly included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. The AOG Units and participating securities were determined to be anti-dilutive and were accordingly excluded in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, AOG Units and participating securities were determined to be anti-dilutive and unvested RSUs and share options were determined to be dilutive and were accordingly included in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

On October 24, 2007, the Company commenced the granting of restricted share units ("RSUs") that provide the right to receive, subject to vesting, Class A shares of Apollo Global Management, LLC, pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. Certain RSU grants to employees provide the right to receive distribution equivalents on vested RSUs on an equal basis any time a distribution is declared. The Company refers to these RSU grants as “Plan Grants.” For certain Plan Grants, distribution equivalents are paid in January of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which a distribution on Class A shares was declared. In addition, certain RSU grants to employees provide that both vested and unvested RSUs participate in distribution equivalents on an equal basis with the Class A shareholders any time a distribution is declared. The Company refers to these as “Bonus Grants. As of September 30, 2013, approximately 20.3 million vested RSUs and 4.0 million unvested RSUs were eligible for participation in distribution equivalents.

Any distribution equivalent paid to an employee will not be returned to the Company upon forfeiture of the award by the employee. Vested and unvested RSUs that are entitled to non-forfeitable distribution equivalents qualify as participating securities and are included in the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share computations using the two-class method. The holder of an RSU participating security would have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the entity if the holder is obligated to fund the losses of the issuing entity or if the contractual principal or mandatory redemption amount of the participating security is reduced as a result of losses incurred by the issuing entity. Because the RSU participating securities do not have a mandatory redemption amount and the holders of the participating securities are not obligated to fund losses, neither the vested RSUs nor the unvested RSUs are subject to any contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company.

Holders of AOG Units are subject to the vesting requirements and transfer restrictions set forth in the agreements with the respective holders, and may up to four times each year, upon notice (subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement), exchange their AOG Units for Class A shares on a one-for-one basis. A limited partner must exchange one partnership unit in each of the Apollo Operating Group partnerships to effectuate an exchange for one Class A share. As disclosed in Note 1, in connection with the Secondary Offering, certain holders of AOG Units exchanged their AOG Units for Class A shares and approximately 8.8 million Class A shares were issued by the Company in the exchange. If all of the outstanding AOG Units were exchanged for Class A shares as of September 30, 2013, the result would be an additional 231,230,636 Class A shares added to the diluted earnings per share calculation.

Apollo has one Class B share outstanding, which is held by BRH Holdings GP, Ltd. The voting power of the Class B share is reduced on a one vote per one AOG Unit basis in the event of an exchange of AOG Units for Class A shares, as discussed above. The Class B share has no net income (loss) per share as it does not participate in Apollo’s earnings (losses) or distributions. The Class B share has no distribution or liquidation rights. The Class B share has voting rights on a pari passu basis with the Class A shares. The Class B share currently has a super voting power of 231,230,636 votes.

RSUs

On October 24, 2007, the Company commenced the granting of RSUs under the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. These grants are accounted for as a grant of equity awards in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The fair value of all grants after March 29, 2011 is based on the grant date fair value, which considers the public share price of the Company. For Plan Grants, the fair value is based on grant date fair value, and is discounted for transfer restrictions and lack of distributions until vested. For Bonus Grants, the valuation methods consider transfer restrictions and timing of distributions. The total fair value is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is generally up to 24 quarters (for Plan Grants) or annual vesting over three years (for Bonus Grants). During the three months ended September 30, 2013, 187,005 RSUs were granted with a weighted average grant date fair value of $20.02 per RSU. The actual forfeiture rate was 1.3% and 5.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $72.9 million and $81.3 million of compensation expense were recognized, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $18.8 million and $26.3 million of compensation expense were recognized, respectively.

The following table summarizes RSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

Options Expected to Vest—As of September 30, 2013, approximately 2,732,000 options were expected to vest.

The expected life of the options granted represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding and is based on the contractual term of the option. Unamortized compensation cost related to unvested share options at September 30, 2013 was $14.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years. There were 0.2 million and 2.1 million options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Delivery of Class A Shares - RSUs and Share Options

During 2013 and 2012, the Company delivered Class A shares in settlement of vested RSUs and exercised share options. The Company has generally allowed holders of vested RSUs and exercised share options to settle their tax liabilities by reducing the number of Class A shares delivered to them, as compared to the number of Class A shares that would have been delivered to them had they paid these tax liabilities in cash. The net share settlement results in a tax liability for the Company and a corresponding accumulated deficit adjustment. This adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $80.6 million and $25.9 million, respectively which is recorded accumulated deficit in the condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

The delivery of Class A shares in settlement of vested RSUs and exercised share options does not cause a transfer of amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity to the Class A shareholders. The delivery of Class A shares in settlement of vested RSUs and exercised share options causes the income allocated to the Non-Controlling Interests to shift to the Class A shareholders from the date of delivery forward. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company delivered 4,876,877 Class A shares in settlement of vested RSUs and exercised share options, which caused the Company’s ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group to increase to 36.0% from 35.1%.

AAA RDUs

Incentive units that provide the right to receive AAA restricted depository units (“RDUs”) following vesting are granted periodically to employees of Apollo. These grants are accounted for as equity awards in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The incentive units granted to employees generally vest over three years. In contrast, the Company’s Managing Partners and Contributing Partners have received distributions of fully-vested AAA RDUs. The fair value at the date of the grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period (or upon grant in the case of fully vested AAA RDUs). The grant date fair value is based on the public share price of AAA. Vested AAA RDUs can be converted into ordinary common units of AAA subject to applicable securities law restrictions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the actual forfeiture rate was 0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $0.8 million and $0.7 million of compensation expense was recognized, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $0.3 million and $0.3 million of compensation expense was recognized, respectively.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards— Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc.

ARI restricted stock awards and ARI restricted stock unit awards ("ARI RSUs") granted to the Company and certain of the Company’s employees generally vest over three years, either quarterly or annually. The awards granted to the Company are accounted for as investments and deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As these awards vest, the deferred revenue is recognized as management fees. The investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting for awards granted to the Company and as a deferred compensation asset for the awards granted to employees. Compensation expense will be recognized on a straight line-basis over the vesting period for the awards granted to the employees. The Company recorded an asset and a liability upon receiving the awards on behalf of the Company’s employees. The fair value of the awards to employees is based on the grant date fair value, which utilizes the public share price of ARI, less discounts for transfer restrictions. The awards granted to the Company’s employees are remeasured each period to reflect the fair value of the asset and other liabilities and any changes in these values are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $2.3 million and $2.0 million of management fees and $1.7 million and $1.2 million of compensation expense were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $0.5 million and $0.8 million of management fees and $0.4 million and $0.5 million of compensation expense were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. The actual forfeiture rate for unvested ARI restricted stock awards and ARI RSUs was 0% and 1.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and 0% and 2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 , respectively.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards—Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc.

AMTG restricted stock units (“AMTG RSUs”) granted to the Company and certain of the Company’s employees generally vest over three years, either quarterly or annually. The awards granted to the Company are accounted for as investments and deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As these awards vest, the deferred revenue is recognized as management fees. The investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting for awards granted to the Company and as a deferred compensation asset for the awards granted to employees. Compensation expense will be recognized on a straight line-basis over the vesting period for the awards granted to the employees. The Company recorded an asset and a liability upon receiving the awards on behalf of the Company’s employees. The awards granted to the Company’s employees are remeasured each period to reflect the fair value of the asset and other liabilities and any changes in these values are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of the awards to employees is based on the grant date fair value, which utilizes the public share price of AMTG less discounts for transfer restrictions and timing of distributions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $0.2 million and $0.6 million of management fees and $0.2 million and $0.6 million of compensation expense were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, $0.0 million and $0.1 million of management fees and $0.0 million and $0.1 million of compensation expense were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. The actual forfeiture rate for AMTG RSUs was 1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The following table summarizes activity for the AMTG RSUs that were granted to both the Company and certain of its employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

Equity-Based Compensation Allocation

Equity-based compensation is allocated based on ownership interests. Therefore, the amortization of the AOG Units is allocated to shareholders’ equity attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC and the Non-Controlling Interests, which results in a difference in the amounts charged to equity-based compensation expense and the amounts credited to shareholders’ equity attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Tax Receivable Agreement and Other

Subject to certain restrictions, each of the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners has the right to exchange their vested AOG Units for the Company’s Class A shares. Certain Apollo Operating Group entities have made an election under Section 754 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), which will result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets owned by the Apollo Operating Group at the time of the exchange. These exchanges will result in increases in tax deductions that will reduce the amount of tax that APO Corp. will otherwise be required to pay in the future. Additionally, the further acquisition of AOG Units from the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners also may result in increases in tax deductions and tax basis of assets that will further reduce the amount of tax that APO Corp. will otherwise be required to pay in the future.

The tax receivable agreement provides for the payment to the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. Federal, state, local and foreign income taxes that APO Corp. would realize as a result of the increases in tax basis of assets that resulted from the 2007 Reorganization and the Secondary Offering. If the Company does not make the required annual payment on a timely basis as outlined in the tax receivable agreement, interest is accrued on the balance until the payment date. These payments are expected to occur approximately over the next 20 years. In connection with the amendment of the AMH partnership agreement in April of 2010, the tax receivable agreement was revised to reflect the Managing Partners’ agreement to defer 25%, or $12.1 million, of the required payments pursuant to the tax receivable agreement that are attributable to the 2010 fiscal year for a period of four years until 2015.

In April 2013, Apollo made a $30.4 million cash payment pursuant to the tax receivable agreement resulting from the realized tax benefit for the 2012 tax year. Included in the payment was approximately $7.6 million and approximately $0.3 million of interest paid to the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners, respectively. Because distributions from the Apollo Operating Group are made pari passu to all unit holders, the payment pursuant to the tax receivable agreement noted above resulted in an additional $55.2 million distribution to Holdings.

As disclosed in note 1, on May 15, 2013, the Intermediate Holding Companies acquired approximately 8.8 million Class A shares of Apollo Global Management, LLC, which were used to acquire an equal number of AOG Units from certain Managing Partners and Contributing Partners in connection with the Secondary Offering. This exchange was taxable for U.S.

federal income tax purposes, and resulted in APO Corp. recording a U.S. federal income tax basis adjustment of approximately $145.7 million in the intangible assets of certain Apollo Operating Group entities.

Pursuant to the tax receivable agreement, the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners who exchanged AOG Units for Class A Shares in the Secondary Offering will receive payment from APO Corp. of 85% of the amount of the actual cash tax savings, if any, in U.S. Federal, state, local and foreign income tax that APO Corp. realizes as a result of these increases in tax deductions and tax basis, and certain other tax benefits, including imputed interest expense. APO Corp. retains the benefit from the remaining 15% of actual cash tax savings. A $78.3 million liability was recorded to estimate the amount of these future expected payments to be made by APO Corp. to the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners pursuant to the tax receivable agreement.

In September 2013, the Company reduced the liability and recorded $13.0 million in other income, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 in the condensed consolidated statement of operations due to a change in estimated tax rates (see note 7).

Due from Contributing Partners, Employees and Former Employees

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, due from Contributing Partners, Employees and Former Employee balances includes various amounts due to the Company including director fee receivables. The Company had also accrued $6.5 million as of December 31, 2012 from the Contributing Partners and certain employees associated with a credit agreement with Fund VI as described below in “Due to Private Equity Funds.” As of September 30, 2013 this agreement was satisfied and as a result there was no longer a related amount accrued.

Management Fee Waiver and Notional Investment Program

In 2012, Apollo had forgone a portion of management fee revenue that it would have been entitled to receive in cash and instead received profits interests and assigned these profits interests to employees and partners. The amount of management fees waived and related compensation expense amounted to $4.9 million and $18.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The investment period for Fund VII and ANRP for the management fee waiver plan was terminated as of December 31, 2012 and as a result there was no related compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Distributions

In addition to other distributions such as payments pursuant to the tax receivable agreement, the table below presents information regarding the quarterly distributions which were made at the sole discretion of the manager of the Company during 2012 and 2013 (in millions, except per share amounts):

Indemnity

Carried interest income from certain funds that the Company manages can be distributed to us on a current basis, but is subject to repayment by the subsidiary of the Apollo Operating Group that acts as general partner of the fund in the event that certain specified return thresholds are not ultimately achieved. The Managing Partners, Contributing Partners and certain other investment professionals have personally guaranteed, subject to certain limitations, the obligation of these subsidiaries in respect of this general partner obligation. Such guarantees are several and not joint and are limited to a particular Managing Partner’s or Contributing Partner’s distributions. An existing shareholders agreement includes clauses that indemnify each of the Company’s Managing Partners and certain Contributing Partners against all amounts that they pay pursuant to any of these personal guarantees in favor of certain funds that the Company manages (including costs and expenses related to investigating the basis for or objecting to any claims made in respect of the guarantees) for all interests that the Company’s Managing Partners and Contributing Partners have contributed or sold to the Apollo Operating Group.

Accordingly, in the event that the Company’s Managing Partners, Contributing Partners and certain investment professionals are required to pay amounts in connection with a general partner obligation for the return of previously made distributions, we will be obligated to reimburse the Company’s Managing Partners and certain Contributing Partners for the indemnifiable percentage of amounts that they are required to pay even though we did not receive the certain distribution to which that general partner obligation related. There was no indemnification liability recorded as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Athene

Athene is the ultimate parent of various insurance company operating subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, Athene Holding Ltd. provides insurance products focused primarily on the retirement market and its business centers primarily on issuing or reinsuring fixed and equity indexed annuities.

On December 21, 2012, Athene Holding Ltd. entered into an agreement with Aviva plc to acquire the U.S. annuity operations of Aviva USA. See note 15 for further information regarding the Aviva USA transaction.

AAA Investments, through its subsidiaries, owns the majority of the economic ownership stake in Athene Holding Ltd. See the discussion of the AAA Transaction in note 3.

Athene Asset Management receives a gross management fee equal to 0.40% per annum on all AUM in accounts owned by or related to Athene (the “Athene Accounts”), with certain limited exceptions. In addition, the Company receives sub-advisory fees with respect to a portion of the assets in the Athene Accounts.

In connection with the AAA Transaction, a subsidiary of AAA Investments contributed three investment partnerships (the “Investment Partnerships”) to Athene. The Investment Partnerships pay a quarterly management fee and carried interest to Apollo with respect to the assets contributed in the AAA Transaction. With respect to capital invested by the Investment Partnership in an Apollo fund through these Investment Partnerships, Apollo receives management fees directly from the relevant funds under the investment management agreements with such funds and not pursuant to the services agreement with the Investment Partnerships. In addition, carried interest is payable by the Investment Partnerships with respect to each investment or group of investments (as specified in the particular partnership agreement), at a rate of 20% of the profit of such investment or group of investments, subject to applicable hurdle rates. Each investment or group of investments is treated separately for the purposes of calculating carried interest. The contributed assets also included certain investments in funds managed by Apollo, carried interest on which is assessed at the fund level.

This quarterly monitoring fee is not applicable to the amount of invested capital attributable to the Excluded Athene Shares. All such monitoring fees are paid pursuant to a derivative contract between Athene and Apollo. Each quarter, monitoring fees earned are translated into an accrued notional number of shares of Athene Holding Ltd., and the accrued notional shares of Athene Holding Ltd. are valued based on fair value. At Athene’s option, all notional shares accrued pursuant to the terms of the derivative contract are payable either in shares of Athene Holding Ltd. or cash equal to the fair value of such shares of Athene Holding Ltd. at the time of settlement. Settlement occurs on the earlier of a change in control of Athene or October 31, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Apollo earned $22.2 million and $62.9 million, respectively, related to this monitoring fee, which is recorded in advisory and transaction fees from affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Apollo earned $3.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively, related to this monitoring fee, which is recorded in advisory and transaction fees from affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2013, Apollo had a $65.6 million receivable, which is accounted for as a derivative, recorded in due from affiliates on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Apollo earned in the aggregate $117.5 million and $224.1 million of management fees, sub-advisory and monitoring fees and carried interest income, respectively, from Athene after considering the related profit sharing expense which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In addition as described below, Apollo also earned management fees under the Amended AAA Services Agreement and carried interest income from AAA Investments' investment in Athene Holding Ltd.

In accordance with the services agreement among AAA, AAA Investments and the other service recipients party thereto and Apollo ("Amended AAA Services Agreement"), Apollo receives a management fee for managing the assets of AAA Investments. In connection with the consummation of the AAA Transaction, on October 31, 2012, the services agreement was amended. Pursuant to the amendment, the parties agreed that there will be no management fees payable by AAA Investments with respect to the Excluded Athene Shares. AAA Investments will continue to pay Apollo the same management fee on its investment in Athene (other than with respect to the Excluded Athene Shares), except that Apollo agreed that AAA Investment’s obligation to pay the existing management fee shall terminate on December 31, 2014 (although services will continue through December 31, 2020). Apollo is entitled to receive a formulaic unwind of its management fee in the event that AAA makes a tender offer for all or substantially all of its outstanding units where the consideration is to be paid in shares of Athene Holding Ltd. (or if AAA accomplishes a similar transaction using an alternative structure that is no less favorable in all material respects to the AAA unitholders as a whole), up to a cap of $30.0 million if the tender offer or similar transaction commences in 2013, $25.0 million if the tender offer or similar transaction commences in 2014, $20.0 million if the tender offer or similar transaction commences in 2015 and zero if the tender offer or similar transaction commences in 2016 or thereafter. All such management fees are paid pursuant to a derivative contract between the AAA Investments and Apollo. Each quarter, management fees earned are translated into an accrued notional number of shares of Athene Holding Ltd., and the accrued notional shares of Athene Holding Ltd. are valued based on fair value. At the option of AAA Investments, all notional shares accrued pursuant to the terms of the derivative contract are payable either in shares of Athene Holding Ltd. or cash equal to the fair value of such shares of Athene Holding Ltd. at the time of settlement. Settlement occurs on the earlier of a change of control of Athene or October 31, 2017.

In addition, Apollo, as general partner of AAA Investments, is generally entitled to a carried interest that allocates to it 20% of the realized returns (net of related expenses, including borrowing costs) on the investments of AAA Investments, except that Apollo will not be entitled to receive any carried interest in respect of the Excluded Athene Shares. Carried interest payable to Apollo will be paid in shares of Athene Holding Ltd. (valued at the then fair market value) if there is a distribution in kind of shares of Athene Holding Ltd., or paid in cash if AAA sells the shares of Athene Holding Ltd. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized $5.4 million and $12.7 million, respectively, from AAA Investments’ investment in Athene after considering the related profit sharing expense which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized $2.7 million and $7.5 million, respectively, from AAA Investments, after considering the related profit sharing expense which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had a related profit sharing payable of $36.9 million and $33.1 million, respectively, recorded in profit sharing payable in the condensed consolidated statements of condition.

The amended services contract with Athene and Athene Life Re Ltd and the Amended AAA Service Agreement together with related derivative contracts issued pursuant to these amended contracts, meet the definition of a derivatives under U.S. GAAP. The Company has classified these derivatives as Level III assets in the fair value hierarchy, as the pricing inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation. The value of these derivatives is determined by multiplying the Athene share equivalents by the estimated price per share of Athene.

The change in unrealized market value of these derivatives is reflected in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, there was $2.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of changes in market value recognized related to these derivatives.

The following table summarizes the fair value of these derivatives, which are measured at fair value and characterized as Level III liabilities:



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2013
Balance, Beginning of Period	$	48,116	$	2,126

Fees Earned	24,715		70,421
Balance, End of Period	$	75,749	$	75,749

The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for these derivatives, at fair value, categorized as Level III in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2013:



Financial Assets	Fair Value	Valuation Techniques	Unobservable Inputs	Discount Rate	Implied Multiple

Athene/AAA Derivative	$75,749	Discounted Cash Flows	Weighted Average Cost of Capital	15.0%	1.14x

The fair value attributed to the investment in Athene is based on embedded value. Embedded value is a discounted cash flow-based methodology based on the future cash flows of the business. Embedded value is composed of the present value of the estimated net income generated by Athene’s inforce business plus Athene’s excess capital, which is capital in excess of what is required to be held against Athene’s liabilities. The embedded value of the insurance portfolios held by Athene incorporates industry information and assumptions, general economic and market conditions, and other factors deemed relevant, including the cost of capital. In addition, consideration is also given to comparable company multiples in the determination of fair value.

In March 2011, a right of offset for the indemnified portion of the loan obligation was established between the Company and Fund VI, therefore the loan was reduced in the amount of $10.9 million, which is offset in carried interest receivable on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As of September 30, 2013 this agreement was satisfied and as a result there was no longer a related amount accrued.

Due to Credit Funds

In connection with the acquisition of Gulf Stream Asset Management, LLC (“Gulf Stream”) during October 2011, the Company agreed to make payments to the former owners of Gulf Stream under a contingent consideration obligation which required the Company to transfer cash to the former owners of Gulf Stream based on a specified percentage of incentive fee revenue. Additionally, the Company deferred a payment obligation to the former owners. This obligation was $3.9 million at the date of acquisition and was paid in December 2012. The contingent consideration liability had a fair value of $15.4 million and $14.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the former owner was no longer an employee of Apollo and therefore the contingent consideration was reported within profit sharing payable in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Similar to the private equity funds, certain credit funds allocate carried interest income to the Company. Assuming SOMA liquidated on December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued a liability to SOMA of $19.3 million in connection with the potential general partner obligation to return previously distributed carried interest income from SOMA. This amount reversed during the nine months ended September 30, 2013; as such there was no general partner obligation accrued as of September 30, 2013. The Company has recorded a general partner obligation to return previously distributed carried interest income of $0.3 million relating to APC as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Due to Real Estate Funds

In connection with the acquisition of Citi Property Investors ("CPI") on November 12, 2010, Apollo had a contingent liability to Citigroup Inc. based on a specified percentage of future earnings from the CPI business. From the date of acquisition through December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of the contingent liability was $1.2 million, which was determined based on discounted cash flows from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2012 using a discount rate of 7%. On March 28, 2013, Apollo satisfied the contingent liability in cash in the amount of approximately $0.5 million, which equaled a percentage of net realized after tax profits from the closing date through December 31, 2012. The satisfaction of the liability resulted in the Company recognizing $0.7 million of other income, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. No remaining obligation existed at September 30, 2013.

Regulated Entities

During 2011, the Company formed Apollo Global Securities, LLC (“AGS”), which is a registered broker dealer with the SEC and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, subject to the minimum net capital requirements of the SEC. AGS is in compliance with these requirements at September 30, 2013. From time to time, this entity is involved in transactions with affiliates of Apollo, including portfolio companies of the funds we manage, whereby AGS earns underwriting and transaction fees for its services. The Company also has an entity based in London which is subject to the capital requirements of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority. This entity has continuously operated in excess of these regulatory capital requirements.

All of the investment advisors of the Apollo funds are affiliates of certain subsidiaries of the Company that 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, as amended.

(4)	Appropriated Partners’ Capital is included in total Apollo Global Management, LLC shareholders’ equity and is therefore not a component of comprehensive income attributable to Non-Controlling Interests on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Guarantees—Apollo has provided financial guarantees on behalf of certain employees for the benefit of unrelated third-party lenders in connection with their capital commitment to certain funds managed by the Company. As of September 30, 2013, the maximum exposure relating to these financial guarantees approximated $0.4 million. Apollo has historically not incurred any liabilities as a result of these agreements and does not expect to in the future. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Investment Commitments—As a limited partner, general partner and manager of the Apollo private equity, credit and real estate funds, Apollo has unfunded capital commitments as of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012 of $555.9 million and $258.3 million, respectively.

Apollo has an ongoing obligation to acquire additional common units of AAA in an amount equal to 25% of the aggregate after-tax cash distributions, if any, that are made to its affiliates pursuant to the carried interest distribution rights that are applicable to investments made through AAA Investments.

On December 21, 2012, the Company agreed to provide up to $100 million of capital support to Athene to the extent such support is necessary in connection with Athene’s pending acquisition of Aviva plc’s annuity and life insurance operations in the United States. As of September 30, 2013, no capital support had been provided by the Company to Athene in connection with this commitment. The Company’s commitment to provide capital support terminated upon the closing of the transaction on October 2, 2013. (see note 15)

In September 2013, an indirect subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, LLC agreed to invest up to approximately €18.2 million ($23.9 million) in a limited partnership (the "KBCD Partnership"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of which has agreed to acquire a minority stake in KBC Bank Deutschland AG, the German subsidiary of Belgian KBC Group NV (and certain third party purchasers agreed to acquire, in aggregate, all of the other shares in KBC Bank Deutschland AG). The aforementioned indirect subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, LLC is the general partner of the KBCD Partnership. The limited partners in the KBCD Partnership are managed by subsidiaries of Apollo Global Management, LLC. The acquisition is subject to antitrust and regulatory approval, which is expected to take approximately nine months. Consequently, there is no assurance that the acquisition will close.

Debt Covenants—Apollo’s debt obligations contain various customary loan covenants. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was not aware of any instances of non-compliance with any of these covenants.

Litigation and Contingencies— Apollo is, from time to time, party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business including claims and litigations, reviews, investigations or proceedings by governmental and self regulatory agencies regarding its business.

In March 2012, plaintiffs filed two putative class actions, captioned Kelm v. Chase Bank (No. 12-cv-332) and Miller v. 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. (No. 12-cv-396), in the District of Connecticut on behalf of a class of consumers alleging online fraud. The defendants included, among others, Trilegiant Corporation, Inc. (“Trilegiant”), its parent company, Affinion Group, LLC (“Affinion”), and Apollo Global Management, LLC (“AGM”), which is affiliated with funds that are the beneficial owners of 69% of Affinion’s common stock. In both cases, plaintiffs allege that Trilegiant, aided by its business partners, who include e-merchants and credit card companies, developed a set of business practices intended to create consumer confusion and ultimately defraud consumers into unknowingly paying fees to clubs for unwanted services. Plaintiffs allege that AGM is a proper defendant because of its indirect stock ownership and ability to appoint the majority of Affinion’s board. The complaints assert claims under the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act; the Electronic Communications Privacy Act; the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act; and the California Business and Professional Code, and seek, among other things, restitution or disgorgement, injunctive relief, compensatory, treble and punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees. The allegations in Kelm and Miller are substantially similar to those in Schnabel v. Trilegiant Corp. (No. 3:10-cv-957), a putative class action filed in the District of Connecticut in 2010 that names only Trilegiant and Affinion as defendants. The court has consolidated the Kelm, Miller, and Schnabel cases under the caption In re: Trilegiant Corporation, Inc. and ordered that they proceed on the same schedule. On June 18, 2012, the court appointed lead plaintiffs’ counsel, and on September 7, 2012, plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint (“CAC”), which alleges the same causes of action against AGM as did the complaints in the Kelm and Miller cases. Defendants filed motions to dismiss on December 7, 2012, plaintiffs filed opposition papers on February 7, 2013, and defendants filed replies on April 5, 2013. On December 5, 2012, plaintiffs filed another putative class action, captioned Frank v. Trilegiant Corp. (No. 12-cv-1721), in the District of Connecticut, naming the same defendants and containing allegations substantially similar to those in the CAC. On January 23, 2013, plaintiffs moved to transfer and consolidate Frank into In re: Trilegiant. On June 13, 2013, the Court extended all defendants’ deadlines to respond to the Frank complaint until 21 days after a ruling on the motion to transfer and consolidate. On July 24, 2013 the Frank court transferred the case to Judge Bryant, who is presiding over In re: Trilegiant, but the cases have not yet been consolidated. On September 25, 2013, the Court held oral argument on Defendants’ motions to dismiss. AGM believes that plaintiffs’ claims against it in these cases are without merit. For this reason, and because the claims against AGM are in their early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.

Investors, announced on October 14, 2009, that it had initiated a special review of placement agents and related issues. The Report of the CalPERS Special Review was issued on March 14, 2011. That report does not allege any wrongdoing on the part of Apollo or its affiliates. Apollo is continuing to cooperate with all such investigations and other reviews. In addition, on May 6, 2010, the California Attorney General filed a civil complaint against Alfred Villalobos and his company, Arvco Capital Research, LLC ("Arvco") (a placement agent that Apollo has used) and Federico Buenrostro Jr., the former CEO of CalPERS, alleging conduct in violation of certain California laws in connection with CalPERS's purchase of securities in various funds managed by Apollo and another asset manager. Apollo is not a party to the civil lawsuit and the lawsuit does not allege any misconduct on the part of Apollo. Likewise, on April 23, 2012, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit alleging securities fraud on the part of Arvco, as well as Messrs. Buenrostro and Villalobos, in connection with their activities concerning certain CalPERS investments in funds managed by Apollo. This lawsuit also does not allege wrongdoing on the part of Apollo, and in fact alleges that Apollo was defrauded by Arvco, Villalobos, and Buenrostro. Finally, on March 14, 2013, the United States Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against Messrs. Villalobos and Buenrostro alleging, among other crimes, fraud in connection with those same activities; again, Apollo is not accused of any wrongdoing and in fact is alleged to have been defrauded by the defendants. Additionally, on April 15, 2013, Mr. Villalobos, Arvco and related entities (the "Arvco Debtors") brought a civil action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada against Apollo. This action alleges that Arvco served as a placement agent for Apollo in connection with several funds associated with Apollo, and seek to recover purported fees they claim Apollo has not paid them for a portion of Arvco's placement agent services. In addition, the Arvco Debtors allege that Apollo has interfered with the Arvco Debtors' commercial relationships with third parties, purportedly causing the Arvco Debtors to lose business and to incur fees and expenses in the defense of various investigations and litigations. The Arvco Debtors also seek compensation from Apollo for these alleged lost profits and fees and expenses. The Arvco Debtors' complaint asserts various theories of recovery under the Bankruptcy Code and the common law. Apollo denies the merit of all of the Arvco Debtors' claims and will vigorously contest them. The Bankruptcy Court has stayed the civil action until April 2014. For these reasons, no estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.

On July 9, 2012, Apollo was served with a subpoena by the New York Attorney General’s Office regarding Apollo’s fee waiver program. The subpoena is part of what we understand to be an industry-wide investigation by the New York Attorney General into the tax implications of the fee waiver program implemented by numerous private equity and hedge funds. Under the fee waiver program, individual fund managers for Apollo-managed funds may elect to prospectively waive their management fees. Program participants receive an interest in the future profits, if any, earned on the invested amounts that represent waived fees. They receive such profits from time to time in the ordinary course when distributions are made generally, as provided for in the applicable fund governing documents and waiver agreements. Four Apollo funds have implemented the program. Apollo believes its fee waiver program complies with all applicable laws, and is cooperating with the investigation.

On May 19, 2013, Apollo was served with a subpoena by the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “DFS”) regarding its investments in any annuity or life businesses, or annuity contracts or life policies. The subpoena is part of what we understand to be an industry-wide investigation by the DFS into investments by financial institutions in annuity and life insurance companies. Apollo is cooperating with the investigation.

Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained at this time, we are of the opinion, after consultation with counsel, that the resolution of any such matters to which we are a party at this time will not have a material effect on our financial statements. Legal actions material to us could, however, arise in the future.

Commitments—Apollo leases office space and certain office equipment under various lease and sublease arrangements, which expire on various dates through 2022. As these leases expire, it can be expected that in the normal course of business, they will be renewed or replaced. Certain lease agreements contain renewal options, rent escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord or other inducements provided by the landlord. Rent expense is accrued to recognize lease escalation provisions and inducements provided by the landlord, if any, on a straight-line basis over the lease term and renewal periods where applicable. Apollo has entered into various operating lease service agreements in respect of certain assets.

As of September 30, 2013, the approximate aggregate minimum future payments required for operating leases were as follows:



	Remaining 2013		2014		2015		2016		2017		Thereafter		Total
Aggregate minimum future payments	$	9,196	$	37,470	$	36,628	$	35,583	$	33,046	$	75,500	$	227,423

Expenses related to non-cancellable contractual obligations for premises, equipment, auto and other assets were $10.8 million and $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $32.1 million and $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other Long-term Obligations—These obligations relate to payments on management service agreements related to certain assets and payments with respect to certain consulting agreements entered into by Apollo Investment Consulting LLC, a subsidiary of Apollo. A significant portion of these costs are reimbursable by funds or portfolio companies. As of September 30, 2013, fixed and determinable payments due in connection with these obligations are as follows:



	Remaining 2013		2014		2015		2016		2017		Thereafter		Total
Other long-term obligations	$	3,342	$	4,828	$	1,655	$	1,276	$	1,080	$	—	$	12,181

Contingent Obligations—Carried interest income with respect to private equity funds and certain credit and real estate funds is subject to reversal in the event of future losses to the extent of the cumulative carried interest recognized in income to date. If all of the existing investments became worthless, the amount of cumulative revenues that has been recognized by Apollo through September 30, 2013 and that would be reversed approximates $4.7 billion. Management views the possibility of all of the investments becoming worthless as remote. Carried interest income is affected by changes in the fair values of the underlying investments in the funds that Apollo manages. Valuations, on an unrealized basis, can be significantly affected by a variety of external factors including, but not limited to, bond yields and industry trading multiples. Movements in these items can affect valuations quarter to quarter even if the underlying business fundamentals remain stable. The table below indicates the potential future reversal of carried interest income:



	As of September 30, 2013
Private Equity Funds:
Fund VII	$	2,038,121
Fund VI	1,462,578

Additionally, at the end of the life of certain funds that the Company manages, there could be a payment due to a fund by the Company if the Company, as general partner, has received more carried interest income than was ultimately earned. The general partner obligation amount, if any, will depend on final realized values of investments at the end of the life of each fund. As discussed in note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has recorded a general partner obligation to return previously distributed carried interest income of $0.3 million relating to APC as of September 30, 2013.

Certain funds may not generate carried interest income as a result of unrealized and realized losses that are recognized in the current and prior reporting period. In certain cases, carried interest income will not be generated until additional unrealized and realized gains occur. Any appreciation would first cover the deductions for invested capital, unreturned organizational expenses, operating expenses, management fees and priority returns based on the terms of the respective fund agreements.

One of the Company’s subsidiaries, AGS, provides underwriting commitments in connection with security offerings to the portfolio companies of the funds we manage. As of September 30, 2013, there were no underwriting commitments outstanding related to such offerings.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the acquisition of Stone Tower Capital LLC (“Stone Tower”) in April 2012, the Company agreed to pay the former owners of Stone Tower a specified percentage of any future carried interest income earned from certain of the Stone Tower funds, CLOs, and strategic investment accounts. This contingent consideration liability had an acquisition date fair value of $117.7 million, which was determined based on the present value of estimated future carried interest payments, and is recorded in profit sharing payable in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The fair value of the contingent obligation was $113.2 million and $126.9 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively and were recorded in profit sharing payable in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

In connection with the Gulf Stream acquisition, the Company agreed to make payments to the former owners of Gulf Stream under a contingent consideration obligation which required the Company to transfer cash to the former owners of Gulf Stream based on a specified percentage of carried interest income. The contingent liability had a fair value of $15.4 million and $14.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which was recorded in profit sharing payable in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

In connection with the acquisition of CPI on November 12, 2010, Apollo had a contingent liability to Citigroup Inc. based on a specified percentage of future earnings. From the date of acquisition through December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of the contingent liability was $1.2 million, which was determined based on discounted cash flows from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2012 using a discount rate of 7%. On March 28, 2013, Apollo satisfied the contingent liability in cash in the amount of approximately $0.5 million, which equaled 25% of the net realized after tax profit from the closing date through December 31, 2012. The satisfaction of the liability resulted in the Company recognizing $0.7 million of other income, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. No remaining contingency existed at September 30, 2013.

The contingent consideration obligations will be remeasured to fair value at each reporting period until the obligations are satisfied. The changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations will be reflected in profit sharing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the one year measurement period, any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date will be reflected as a retrospective adjustment to the bargain purchase gain and the respective asset acquired or liability assumed.

The Company has determined that the contingent consideration obligations are categorized as a Level III liability in the fair value hierarchy as the pricing inputs into the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment and estimation.

The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for the contingent consideration obligations categorized in Level III of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2013:



	Fair Value at September 30, 2013		Valuation Techniques	Unobservable Inputs	Ranges	Weighted Average
Financial Liabilities:
Contingent consideration obligations	$	128,545	Discounted cash flow	Discount rate	10.5%-11.0%	10.9%

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the contingent obligations is the discount rate applied in the valuation models. This input in isolation can cause significant increases (decreases) in fair value. Specifically, when a discounted cash flow model is used to determine fair value, the significant input used in the valuation model is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. Increases in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations; conversely, decreases in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations. In order to determine the discount rate, the Company considered the following: the weighted average cost of capital for the Company, the implied internal rate of return for the transaction, and weighted average return on assets.

The following table summarizes the changes in contingent consideration obligations, which are measured at fair value and characterized as Level III liabilities:



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,						For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012

(1)	Changes in future carried interest payments driven by changes in the duration of the funds can cause increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations.

13. MARKET AND CREDIT RISK

In the normal course of business, Apollo encounters market and credit risk concentrations. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments due to changes in interest rates, credit spreads or other market factors. Credit risk includes the risk of default on Apollo’s investments, where the counterparty is unable or unwilling to make required or expected payments.

The Company is subject to a concentration risk related to the investors in its funds. As of September 30, 2013, there were more than 1,000 limited partner investors in Apollo’s active private equity, credit and real estate funds, and no individual investor accounted for more than 10% of the total committed capital to Apollo’s active funds.

Apollo’s derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. Apollo seeks to minimize this risk by limiting its counterparties to highly rated major financial institutions with good credit ratings. Management does not expect any material losses as a result of default by other parties.

Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions that exceed insured limits are invested in interest-bearing accounts with U.S. money center banks.

Apollo is exposed to economic risk concentrations insofar as Apollo is dependent on the ability of the funds that it manages to compensate it for the services the management companies provide to these funds. Further, the incentive income component of this compensation is based on the ability of such funds to generate returns above certain specified thresholds.

Additionally, Apollo is exposed to interest rate risk. Apollo has debt obligations that have variable rates. Interest rate changes may therefore affect the amount of interest payments, future earnings and cash flows. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $728.3 million and $737.8 million of Apollo’s debt balance (excluding debt of the consolidated VIEs) had a variable interest rate, respectively.

14. SEGMENT REPORTING

Apollo conducts its management and incentive businesses primarily in the United States and substantially all of its revenues are generated domestically. These businesses are conducted through the following three reportable segments:


•	Private Equity—primarily invests in control equity and related debt instruments, convertible securities and distressed debt investments;


•	Credit—primarily invests in non-control corporate and structured debt instruments; and


•	Real Estate—primarily invests in real estate equity for the acquisition and recapitalization of real estate assets, portfolios, platforms and operating companies, and real estate debt including first mortgage and mezzanine loans, preferred equity and commercial mortgage backed securities.

These business segments are differentiated based on the varying investment strategies. The performance is measured by management on an unconsolidated basis because management makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of each of Apollo’s business segments based on financial and operating metrics and data that exclude the effects of consolidation of any of the affiliated funds.

The Company’s financial results vary since carried interest, which generally constitutes a large portion of the income from the funds that Apollo manages, as well as the transaction and advisory fees that the Company receives, can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. As a result, the Company emphasizes long-term financial growth and profitability to manage its business.

The tables below present the financial data for Apollo’s reportable segments further separated between the management and business as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which management believes is useful to the reader. The Company’s management business has fairly stable revenues and expenses except for transaction fees, while its incentive business is more volatile and can have significant fluctuations as it is affected by changes in the fair value of investments due to market performance of the Company’s business. The financial results of the management entities, as reflected in the “management” business section of the segment tables that follow, generally include management fee revenues, advisory and transaction fees and expenses exclusive of profit sharing expense. The financial results of the advisory entities, as reflected in the “incentive” business sections of the segment tables that follow, generally include carried interest income, investment income and profit sharing expense.

During the second quarter of 2013, monitoring fees based on Athene's capital and surplus and the change in the market value of the derivative contracts related to Athene's capital and surplus recorded in advisory and transaction fees from affiliates, as disclosed in note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, were reclassified from the private equity segment to the credit segment to better evaluate the performance of Apollo's private equity and credit segments in making key operating decisions. Reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial data for Apollo's reportable segments to conform to the current presentation. The impact of this reclassification on the Company’s Economic Net Income (“ENI”) for the private equity and credit segment is reflected in the table below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012:



	Impact of Reclassification on Economic Net (Loss) Income
	Private Equity Segment	Credit Segment
For the three months ended September 30, 2012	$(3,698)	$3,698
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012	(10,020)	10,020

Economic Net Income (Loss)

ENI is a key performance measure used by management in evaluating the performance of Apollo’s private equity, credit and real estate segments. Management also believes the components of ENI such as the amount of management fees, advisory and transaction fees and carried interest income are indicative of the Company’s performance. Management also uses ENI in making key operating decisions such as the following:


•	Decisions related to the allocation of resources such as staffing decisions including hiring and locations for deployment of the new hires;


•	Decisions related to capital deployment such as providing capital to facilitate growth for the business and/or to facilitate expansion into new businesses; and

•

Decisions relating to expenses, such as determining annual discretionary bonuses and equity-based compensation awards to its employees. With respect to compensation, management seeks to align the interests of certain professionals and selected other individuals with those of the investors in such funds and those of the Company’s shareholders by providing such individuals a profit sharing interest in the carried interest income earned in relation to the funds. To achieve that objective, a certain amount of compensation is based on the Company’s performance and growth for the year.

ENI is a measure of profitability and has certain limitations in that it does not take into account certain items included under U.S. GAAP. ENI represents segment income (loss) attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC, which excludes the impact of (i) non-cash charges related to RSUs granted in connection with the 2007 private placement and amortization of AOG Units, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) amortization of intangibles associated with the 2007 Reorganization as well as acquisitions and (iv) Non-Controlling Interests excluding the remaining interest held by certain individuals who receive an allocation of income from certain of our credit management companies. In addition, segment data excludes the assets, liabilities and operating results of the funds and VIEs that are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table presents the financial data for Apollo’s reportable segments as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2013:

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 16, 2013, the Company issued 6,878 Class A shares in settlement of vested RSUs. This issuance did not cause a material change to the Company’s ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group.

On November 7, 2013, the Company declared a cash distribution of $1.01 per Class A share, which will be paid on November 29, 2013 to holders of record on November 22, 2013.

On October 2, 2013, Athene Holding Ltd. closed its acquisition of Aviva USA. Apollo had previously agreed to provide up to $100 million of capital support to Athene to the extent such support was necessary in connection with the closing of the Aviva USA transaction. The Company’s commitment was not called in connection with the closing of the transaction and as a result, the Company’s commitment terminated upon the closing of the transaction on October 2, 2013.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Apollo Global Management, LLC’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013. The highlights listed below have had significant effects on many items within our condensed consolidated financial statements and affect the comparison of the current period’s activity with those of prior periods.

General

Our Businesses

Founded in 1990, Apollo is a leading global alternative investment manager. We are contrarian, value-oriented investors in private equity, credit and real estate with significant distressed expertise and a flexible mandate in the majority of our funds that enables our funds to invest opportunistically across a company’s capital structure. We raise, invest and manage funds on behalf of some of the world’s most prominent pension, endowment and sovereign wealth funds as well as other institutional and individual investors. Apollo is led by our Managing Partners, Leon Black, Joshua Harris and Marc Rowan, who have worked together for more than 20 years and lead a team of 691 employees, including 274 investment professionals, as of September 30, 2013.


(i)	Private equity—primarily invests in control equity and related debt instruments, convertible securities and distressed debt instruments;


(ii)	Credit—primarily invests in non-control corporate and structured debt instruments; and


(iii)	Real estate—primarily invests in real estate equity for the acquisition and recapitalization of real estate assets, portfolios, platforms and operating companies, and real estate debt including first mortgage and mezzanine loans, preferred equity and commercial mortgage backed securities.

Our financial results vary since carried interest, which generally constitutes a large portion of the income we receive from the funds that we manage, as well as the transaction and advisory fees that we receive, can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. As a result, we emphasize long-term financial growth and profitability to manage our business.

In addition, the growth in our fee-generating AUM during the last year has primarily been in our credit segment. The average management fee rate for these new credit products is at market rates for such products and in certain cases is below our historical rates. Also, due to the complexity of these new product offerings, the Company has incurred and will continue to incur additional costs associated with managing these products. To date, these additional costs have been offset by realized economies of scale and ongoing cost management.

As of September 30, 2013, approximately 94% of our total AUM was in funds with a contractual life at inception of seven years or more, and 10% of our total AUM was in permanent capital vehicles with unlimited duration.

As of September 30, 2013, we had total AUM of $112.7 billion across all of our businesses. On June 28, 2013, Apollo held a first closing of more than $6.6 billion for its newest flagship private equity fund, Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P. ("Fund VIII"), and as of November 7, 2013, Apollo has received commitments of approximately $12 billion for Fund VIII. Additionally, Fund VII, held a final closing in December 2008, raising a total of $14.7 billion, and as of September 30, 2013, Fund VII had $3.5 billion of uncalled commitments, or “dry powder”, remaining. We have consistently produced attractive long-term investment returns in our private equity funds, generating a 39% gross IRR and a 26% net IRR on a compound

annual basis from inception through September 30, 2013. For further detail related to fund performance metrics across all of our businesses, see “—The Historical Investment Performance of Our Funds.”

Holding Company Structure

The diagram below depicts our current organizational structure:

Note: The organizational structure chart above depicts a simplified version of the Apollo structure. It does not include all legal entities in the structure. Ownership percentages are as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(1)

The Strategic Investors hold 31.32% of the Class A shares outstanding and 12.00% of the economic interests in the Apollo Operating Group. The Class A shares held by investors other than the Strategic Investors represent 29.91% of the total voting power of our shares entitled to vote and 21.58% of the economic interests in the Apollo Operating Group. Class A shares held by the Strategic Investors do not have voting rights. However, such Class A shares will become entitled to vote upon transfers by a Strategic Investor in accordance with the agreements entered into in connection with the investments made by the Strategic Investors.

(2)

Our Managing Partners own BRH Holdings GP, Ltd., which in turn holds our only outstanding Class B share. The Class B share represents 70.09% of the total voting power of our shares entitled to vote but no economic interest in Apollo Global Management, LLC. Our Managing Partners’ economic interests are instead represented by their indirect beneficial ownership, through Holdings, of 54.44% of the limited partner interests in the Apollo Operating Group.

(3)	Through BRH Holdings, L.P., our Managing Partners indirectly beneficially own through estate planning vehicles, limited partner interests in Holdings.


(4)	Holdings owns 61.68% of the limited partner interests in each Apollo Operating Group entity. The AOG Units held by Holdings are exchangeable for Class A shares. Our Managing Partners, through their interests in BRH and Holdings, beneficially own 54.44% of the AOG Units. Our Contributing Partners, through their ownership interests in Holdings, beneficially own 7.24% of the AOG Units.


(5)	BRH is the sole member of AGM Management, LLC, our manager. The management of Apollo Global Management, LLC is vested in our manager as provided in our operating agreement.


(6)	Represents 38.32% of the limited partner interests in each Apollo Operating Group entity, held through intermediate holding companies. Apollo Global Management, LLC, also indirectly owns 100% of the general partner interests in each Apollo Operating Group entity.

Each of the Apollo Operating Group partnerships holds interests in different businesses or entities organized in different jurisdictions.

Our structure is designed to accomplish a number of objectives, the most important of which are as follows:


•	We are a holding company that is qualified as a partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Our intermediate holding companies enable us to maintain our partnership status and to meet the qualifying income exception.

•

We have historically used multiple management companies to segregate operations for business, financial and other reasons. Going forward, we may increase or decrease the number of our management companies or partnerships within the Apollo Operating Group based on our views regarding the appropriate balance between (a) administrative convenience and (b) continued business, financial, tax and other optimization.

Business Environment

During the third quarter of 2013, global equity markets continued to rise while credit markets were generally flat and less volatile than the second quarter, as investors were encouraged by the U.S. Federal Reserve announcement to continue with its current pace of stimulus. Amid the favorable backdrop, Apollo continued to generate significant realizations for fund investors. Apollo returned $6.3 billion of capital and realized gains to the limited partners of the funds it manages during the third quarter of 2013. Apollo’s fundraising activities also continued at a strong pace, with $4.0 billion of new capital raised during the third quarter as institutional investors continued to allocate capital towards alternative investment managers for more attractive risk-adjusted returns in a low rate environment.

Regardless of the market or economic environment at any given time, Apollo relies on its contrarian, value-oriented approach to consistently invest capital on behalf of its investors by focusing on opportunities that management believes are often overlooked by other investors. Apollo’s expertise in credit and its focus on nine core industry sectors combined with more than 20 years of investment experience have allowed Apollo to respond quickly to changing environments. Apollo’s core industry sectors cover chemicals, commodities, consumer and retail, distribution and transportation, financial and business services, manufacturing and industrial, media and cable and leisure, packaging and materials and the satellite and wireless industries. Apollo believes that these attributes have contributed to the success of its private equity funds investing in buyouts and credit opportunities during both expansionary and recessionary economic periods.

From the beginning of the third quarter of 2007 through September 30, 2013, we have deployed approximately $40.4 billion of gross invested capital across our private equity and certain credit funds focused on control, distressed and buyout investments, leveraged loan portfolios and mezzanine, non-control distressed and non-performing loans. In addition, from the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2007 through September 30, 2013, the funds managed by Apollo have acquired approximately $19.0 billion in face value of distressed debt at discounts to par value and purchased approximately $56.7 billion in face value of leveraged senior loans at discounts to par value from financial institutions. Since we purchased many of these leveraged loan portfolios from highly motivated sellers, we were able to secure, in certain cases, attractive long-term, low cost financing.

Since the financial crisis in 2008, we have relied on our deep industry, credit and financial structuring experience, coupled with our strengths as a value-oriented, distressed investor, to deploy significant amounts of new capital within challenging economic environments. In addition, we actively work with the management of each of the portfolio companies of the funds we manage to maximize the underlying value of the business, including helping the companies to generate cost and working capital savings. We also rely on our deep credit structuring experience and work with management of the portfolio

- 77-

companies to help optimize the capital structure of such companies through proactive restructuring of the balance sheet to address near-term debt maturities or capturing discounts on publicly traded debt securities through exchange offers and potential debt buybacks. For example, as of September 30, 2013, Fund VI and its underlying portfolio companies purchased or retired approximately $20.6 billion in face value of debt and captured approximately $10.2 billion of discount to par value of debt in portfolio companies such as CEVA Logistics, Caesars Entertainment, Realogy and Momentive Performance Materials. Additionally, the portfolio companies of Fund VI have implemented approximately $3.9 billion of cost savings programs on an aggregate basis from the date Fund VI invested in them through September 30, 2013, which we believe will positively impact their operating profitability.

In certain situations, funds managed by Apollo are the largest owner of the total outstanding debt of the portfolio company. In addition to the attractive return profile associated with these portfolio company debt purchases, we believe that building positions as senior creditors within the existing portfolio companies is strategic to the existing equity ownership positions.

During the recovery and expansionary periods of 1994 through 2000 and late 2003 through the first half of 2007, our private equity funds invested or committed to invest approximately $13.7 billion primarily in traditional and corporate partner buyouts. During the recessionary periods of 1990 through 1993, 2001 through late 2003 and the current recessionary and post recessionary periods (second half of 2007 through September 30, 2013), our private equity funds have invested $28.6 billion, of which $16.4 billion was in distressed buyouts and debt investments when the debt securities of quality companies traded at deep discounts to par value. Our average entry multiple for Fund VII, VI and V was 6.2x, 7.7x and 6.6x, respectively as of September 30, 2013. The average entry multiple for a private equity fund is the average of the total enterprise value over an applicable EBITDA which we believe captures the true economics for our funds' purchases of portfolio companies.

Managing Business Performance

We believe that the presentation of Economic Net Income (Loss) supplements a reader’s understanding of the economic operating performance of each of our segments.

Economic Net Income (Loss)

ENI is a measure of profitability and does not take into account certain items included under U.S. GAAP. ENI represents segment income (loss) attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC, which excludes the impact of non-cash charges related to RSUs granted in connection with the 2007 private placement and amortization of AOG Units, income tax expense, amortization of intangibles associated with the 2007 Reorganization as well as acquisitions and Non-Controlling Interests excluding the remaining interest held by certain individuals who receive an allocation of income from certain of our credit management companies. In addition, segment data excludes the assets, liabilities and operating results of the funds and VIEs that are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Adjustments relating to income tax expense, intangible asset amortization and Non-Controlling Interests are common in the calculation of supplemental measures of performance in our industry. We believe the exclusion of the non-cash charges related to the 2007 Reorganization for equity-based compensation provides investors with a meaningful indication of our performance because these charges relate to the equity portion of our capital structure and not our core operating performance.

During the second quarter of 2013, monitoring fees based on Athene's capital and surplus and the change in the market value of the derivative contracts related to Athene's capital and surplus recorded in advisory and transaction fees from affiliates, as disclosed in Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, were reclassified from the private equity segment to the credit segment to better evaluate the performance of Apollo's private equity and credit segments in making key operating decisions. Reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial data for Apollo's reportable segments to conform to the current presentation. The impact of this reclassification on the ENI for the private equity and credit segment is reflected in the table below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012:



	Impact of Reclassification on Economic Net (Loss) Income
	Private Equity Segment	Credit Segment
For the three months ended September 30, 2012	$(3,698)	$3,698
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012	(10,020)	10,020

ENI is a key performance measure used for understanding the performance of our operations from period to period and although not every company in our industry defines these metrics in precisely the same way we do, we believe that this metric, as we use it, facilitates comparisons with other companies in our industry. We use ENI to evaluate the performance of our private equity, credit and real estate segments. Management also believes the components of ENI such as the amount of management fees, advisory and transaction fees and carried interest income are indicative of the Company’s performance. Management also uses ENI in making key operating decisions such as the following:

•

Decisions related to the allocation of resources such as staffing decisions including hiring and locations for deployment of the new hires. As the amount of fees, investment income, and ENI is indicative of the performance of the management companies and advisors within each segment, management can assess the need for additional resources and the location for deployment of the new hires based on the results of this measure. For example, a positive ENI could indicate the need for additional staff to manage the respective segment whereas a negative ENI could indicate the need to reduce staff assigned to manage the respective segment.

•

Decisions related to capital deployment such as providing capital to facilitate growth for our business and/or to facilitate expansion into new businesses. As the amount of fees, investment income, and ENI is indicative of the performance of the management companies and advisors within each segment, management can assess the availability and need to provide capital to facilitate growth or expansion into new businesses based on the results of this measure. For example, a negative ENI may indicate the lack of performance of a segment and thus indicate a need for additional capital to be deployed into the respective segment.

Table of Contents

•

Decisions related to expenses, such as determining annual discretionary bonuses and equity-based compensation awards to its employees. With respect to compensation, management seeks to align the interests of certain professionals and selected other individuals with those of the investors in such funds and those of the Company’s shareholders by providing such individuals a profit sharing interest in the carried interest income earned in relation to the funds. To achieve that objective, a certain amount of compensation is based on the Company’s performance and growth for the year.

ENI does not take into account certain items included when calculating net income under U.S. GAAP and as such, we do not rely solely on ENI as a performance measure and also consider our U.S. GAAP results. The following items, which are significant to our business, are excluded when calculating ENI:


(i)	non-cash charges related to RSUs granted in connection with the 2007 private placement and amortization of AOG Units (although the costs associated with the 2007 private placement are expected to be recurring components of our costs but at a diminishing rate, we may be able to incur lower cash compensation costs with the granting of equity-based compensation);


(ii)	income tax, which represents a necessary and recurring element of our operating costs and our ability to generate revenue because ongoing revenue generation is expected to result in future income tax expense;


(iii)	amortization of intangible assets associated with the 2007 Reorganization and acquisitions, which is a recurring item until all intangibles have been fully amortized; and


(iv)	Non-Controlling Interests excluding the remaining interest held by certain individuals who receive an allocation of income from certain of our credit management companies, which is expected to be a recurring item and represents the aggregate of the income or loss that is not owned by the Company.

We believe that ENI is helpful for an understanding of our business and that investors should review the same supplemental financial measure that management uses to analyze our segment performance. This measure supplements and should be considered in addition to and not in lieu of the results of operations discussed below in “—Overview of Results of Operations” that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following summarizes the adjustments to ENI that reconcile ENI to the net income (loss) attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

•

Inclusion of the impact of RSUs granted in connection with the 2007 private placement and non-cash equity-based compensation expense comprising amortization of AOG Units. Management assesses our performance based on management fees, advisory and transaction fees, and carried interest income generated by the business and excludes the impact of non-cash charges related to RSUs granted in connection with the 2007 private placement and amortization of AOG Units because these non-cash charges are not viewed as part of our core operations.

•

Inclusion of the impact of income taxes as we do not take income taxes into consideration when evaluating the performance of our segments or when determining compensation for our employees. Additionally, income taxes at the segment level (which exclude APO Corp.’s corporate taxes) are not meaningful, as the majority of the entities included in our segments operate as partnerships and therefore are only subject to New York City unincorporated business taxes and foreign taxes when applicable.


•	Inclusion of amortization of intangible assets associated with the 2007 Reorganization and subsequent acquisitions as these non-cash charges are not viewed as part of our core operations.


•	Carried interest income, management fees and other revenues from Apollo funds are reflected on an unconsolidated basis. As such, ENI excludes the Non-Controlling

Table of Contents

Interests in consolidated funds, which remain consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Management views the business as an alternative investment management firm and therefore assesses performance using the combined total of carried interest income and management fees from each of our funds. One exception is the Non-Controlling Interest related to certain individuals who receive an allocation of income from certain of our credit management companies, which is deducted from ENI to better reflect the performance attributable to shareholders.

ENI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We use ENI as a measure of operating performance, not as a measure of liquidity. ENI should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, operating cash flows, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The use of ENI without consideration of related U.S. GAAP measures is not adequate due to the adjustments described above. Management compensates for these limitations by using ENI as a supplemental measure to U.S. GAAP results, to provide a more complete understanding of our performance as management measures it. A reconciliation of ENI to our U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC can be found in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operating Metrics

We monitor certain operating metrics that are common to the alternative investment management industry. These operating metrics include Assets Under Management, private equity dollars invested and uncalled private equity commitments.

Assets Under Management

Assets Under Management, or AUM, refers to the investments we manage or with respect to which we have control, including capital we have the right to call from our investors pursuant to their capital commitments to various funds. Our AUM equals the sum of:


(i)	the fair value of our private equity investments plus the capital that we are entitled to call from our investors pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments to the extent a fund is within the commitment period in which management fees are calculated based on total commitments to the fund;


(ii)	the NAV of our credit funds, other than certain CLOs, which we measure by using the mark-to-market value of the aggregate principal amount of the underlying CLO and CDO credit funds that have a fee generating basis other than mark-to-market assets or liabilities, plus used or available leverage and/or capital commitments;


(iii)	the gross asset value or net asset value of our real estate entities and the structured portfolio company investments included within the funds we manage, which includes the leverage used by such structured portfolio companies;


(iv)	the incremental value associated with the reinsurance investments of the funds we manage; and


(v)	the fair value of any other investments that we manage plus unused credit facilities, including capital commitments for investments that may require pre-qualification before investment plus any other capital commitments available for investment that are not otherwise included in the clauses above.

Our AUM measure includes Assets Under Management for which we charge either no or nominal fees. Our definition of AUM is not based on any definition of Assets Under Management contained in our operating agreement or in any of our Apollo fund management agreements. We consider multiple factors for determining what should be included in our definition of AUM. Such factors include but are not limited to (1) our ability to influence the investment decisions for existing and available assets; (2) our ability to generate income from the underlying assets in our funds; and (3) the AUM measures that we believe are used by other investment managers. Given the differences in the investment strategies and structures among other alternative investment managers, our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations employed by other investment managers and, as a result, this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers.

We use AUM as a performance measurement of our investment activities, as well as to monitor fund size in relation to professional resource and infrastructure needs.

Assets Under Management—Fee-Generating/Non-Fee Generating

Non-fee generating AUM consists of assets that do not produce management fees or monitoring fees. These assets generally consist of the following: (a) fair value above invested capital for those funds that earn management fees based on invested capital, (b) net asset values related to general partner interests and co-investments, (c) unused credit facilities, (d) available commitments on those funds that generate management fees on invested capital, (e) structured portfolio company investments that do not generate monitoring fees and (f) the difference between gross asset and net asset value for those funds that earn management fees based on net asset value.

The table below displays fee-generating and non-fee generating AUM by segment as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and December 31, 2012. Changes in market conditions, additional funds raised and acquisitions have had significant impacts to our AUM:

(2)	Includes fee-generating and non-fee generating AUM as of September 30, 2012 for certain publicly traded vehicles managed by Apollo.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our total fee-generating AUM increased primarily due to increases in subscriptions and income. The fee-generating AUM of our private equity funds increased primarily due to subscriptions and income, offset by movement between fee-generating and non-fee generating AUM. The fee-generating AUM of our credit funds decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to leverage, distributions, and segment transfers out offset by an increase in subscriptions and income. The fee-generating AUM of our real estate segment decreased primarily due to distributions, and was partially offset by income and net segment transfers.

When the fair value of an investment exceeds invested capital, we are normally entitled to carried interest income on the difference between the fair value once realized and invested capital after also considering certain expenses and preferred

return amounts, as specified in the respective partnership agreements; however, we generally do not earn management fees on such excess. As a result of the growth in both the size and number of funds that we manage, we have experienced an increase in our management fees and advisory and transaction fees. To support this growth, we have also experienced an increase in operating expenses, resulting from hiring additional personnel, opening new offices to expand our geographical reach and incurring additional professional fees.

With respect to our private equity funds and certain of our credit and real estate funds, we charge management fees on the amount of committed or invested capital and we generally are entitled to realized carried interest on the realized gains on the disposition of such funds’ investments. Certain funds may have current fair values below invested capital; however, the management fee would still be computed on the invested capital for such funds. With respect to ARI and AMTG, we receive management fees on stockholders' equity as defined in the applicable management agreement. In addition, our fee-generating AUM reflects leverage vehicles that generate monitoring fees on value in excess of fund commitments. As of September 30, 2013, our total fee-generating AUM is comprised of approximately 95% of assets that earn management fees and the remaining balance of assets earn monitoring fees.

The Company’s entire fee-generating AUM is subject to management or monitoring fees. The components of fee-generating AUM by segment as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and December 31, 2012 are presented below:

Private Equity

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the AUM in our private equity segment increased by $2.6 billion, or 6.4%. This increase was a result of subscriptions of $3.3 billion in Fund VIII and $4.1 billion of income from improved unrealized gains, including $2.1 billion from Fund VI and $1.8 billion from Fund VII. Offsetting this increase was $4.2 billion of distributions, including $2.2 billion from Fund VII and $1.8 billion from Fund VI, and $0.8 billion of decreased leverage.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the AUM in our private equity segment increased by $0.8 billion, or 2.0%. This increase was primarily a result of income of $2.0 billion attributable to improved unrealized gains in our private equity funds, including $1.8 billion from Fund VII. Also contributing to this increase was an additional $0.2 billion in subscriptions from AION Capital Partners Limited (“AION”), and additional subscriptions from ANRP. Partially offsetting this increase was $1.4 billion in distributions, including $0.8 billion from Fund VII and $0.5 billion from Fund V.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the AUM in our private equity segment increased by $4.9 billion, or 13.0%. This increase was a result of subscriptions of $9.2 billion which includes $9.1 billion in Fund VIII, $8.6 billion of income that was primarily attributable to improved unrealized gains in our private equity funds, including $3.8 billion from Fund VI and $4.5 billion from Fund VII and $1.1 billion of transfers in. Offsetting this increase were distributions of $11.8 billion, including $6.1 billion from Fund VII and $4.7 billion from Fund VI, and $2.2 billion of decreased leverage, including $1.7 billion in Fund VII and $0.4 billion in Fund VI. See “-Segment Analysis,” which includes a detailed discussion of the impact that significant changes in our AUM within our private equity, credit and real estate segments had on our revenues by segment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the AUM in our private equity segment increased by $3.6 billion, or 10.2%. This increase was primarily a result of income of $5.8 billion attributable to improved unrealized gains in our private equity funds, including $3.4 billion from Fund VII. Also contributing to this increase was an additional $0.3 billion in subscriptions from AION and ANRP. Offsetting this increase was $3.0 billion in distributions, including $1.5 billion from Fund VII and $0.9 billion from Fund VI.

Credit

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, AUM in our credit segment decreased by $2.9 billion, or 4.6%. This decrease consisted of $2.7 billion of leverage, including $1.1 billion from AMTG and $0.4 billion from COF II, $1.6 billion of distributions, including $0.6 billion from COF I and $0.3 billion from EPF I, and net segment transfers out of $0.2 billion. This decrease in AUM was offset by $1.0 billion of income that was primarily attributable to improved unrealized gains across our credit funds, and additional subscriptions of $0.7 billion, primarily attributable to Financial Credit Investment II, L.P. ("FCI II").

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, AUM in our credit segment increased by $4.0 billion, or 7.1%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in leverage of $2.5 billion, primarily driven by AMTG, and additional subscriptions of $1.2 billion, including $0.4 billion each by AMTG and EPF II. The increase was also a result of $1.3 billion of income attributable to improved unrealized gains in our credit funds, including $0.5 billion from COF I. This increase was partially offset by $0.6 billion of distributions, including a total of $0.3 billion from COF I and COF II.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, AUM in our credit segment decreased by $5.0 billion, or 7.8%. This decrease was a result of a decrease in leverage of $4.2 billion, including $1.1 billion from COF II. Additionally, there was $4.2 billion of distributions, including $1.3 billion from COF I, $0.8 billion of redemptions and $0.7 billion of net transfers out. Offsetting this decrease was $2.9 billion of increased income and $2.0 billion of subscriptions, including $0.5 billion from FCI II and $0.3 from Apollo Credit Master Fund Ltd. ("ACF").

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, AUM in our credit segment increased by $28.2 billion, or 88.6%. This increase was primarily attributable to $19.9 billion in acquisitions, including $18.5 billion related to Stone Tower, and $5.1 billion in increased leverage, including $3.4 billion from AMTG. The increase was also a result of $4.3 billion of additional subscriptions, including $2.1 billion in EPF II, $0.6 billion in ACSP and $0.4 billion in AMTG. This increase was partially offset by $1.9 billion of distributions, including $0.8 billion from COF I and COF II and $0.2 billion from EPF I.

Real Estate

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, AUM in our real estate segment decreased by $0.1 billion, or 1.4%, which was primarily the result of $0.5 of billion distributions. These increases were partially offset by income of $0.2 billion and transfers in of $0.1 billion.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, AUM in our real estate segment increased by $0.3 billion, or 3.4%. This increase was primarily a result of income of $0.3 billion attributable to improved unrealized gains in our real estate funds, including $0.1 billion from CPI Capital Partners North America, CPI Capital Partners Europe, CPI Capital Partners Asia, and CPI Other ("CPI Funds"). In addition, also contributing to this increase was $0.2 billion in net transfers from other segments and $0.1 billion of additional capital raised by ARI. Offsetting this increase was $0.3 billion in distributions, including $0.2 billion from the CPI Funds.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, AUM in our real estate segment increased by $0.5 billion, or 6.1%, which was primarily the result of $1.0 billion of additional subscriptions, including $0.6 billion in AGRE Debt Fund I L.P., and net segment transfers of $0.7 billion. These increases were partially offset by $0.8 billion of distributions and $0.3 billion in redemptions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, AUM in our real estate segment increased by $0.2 billion, or 2.0%. This increase was primarily a result of $1.0 billion in net transfers from other segments and additional subscriptions of $0.5 billion, including $0.2 billion from a real estate investment. In addition, also contributing to this increase was income of $0.4 billion attributable to improved unrealized gains in our real estate funds, including $0.2 billion from the CPI Funds. Partially offsetting this increase was of $1.1 billion in distributions, including $0.8 billion from the CPI Funds.

Private Equity Dollars Invested and Uncalled Private Equity Commitments

Private equity dollars invested represents the aggregate amount of capital invested by our private equity funds during a reporting period. Uncalled private equity commitments, by contrast, represent unfunded commitments by investors in our private equity funds to contribute capital to fund future investments or expenses incurred by the funds, fees and applicable expenses as of the reporting date. Private equity dollars invested and uncalled private equity commitments are indicative of the pace and magnitude of fund capital that is deployed or will be deployed, and which therefore could result in future revenues that include transaction fees and incentive income. Private equity dollars invested and uncalled private equity commitments can also give rise to future costs that are related to the hiring of additional resources to manage and account for the additional capital that is deployed or will be deployed. Management uses private equity dollars invested and uncalled private equity commitments as key operating metrics since we believe the results measure our investment activities.

The following table summarizes the private equity dollars invested during the specified reporting periods:



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
	(in millions)
Private equity dollars invested	$	120	$	78	$	1,488	$	2,719

The following table summarizes the uncalled private equity commitments as of September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012:

The Historical Investment Performance of Our Funds

Below we present information relating to the historical performance of our funds, including certain legacy Apollo funds that do not have a meaningful amount of unrealized investments, and in respect of which the general partner interest has not been contributed to us.

When considering the data presented below, you should note that the historical results of our funds are not indicative of the future results that you should expect from such funds, from any future funds we may raise or from your investment in our Class A shares. An investment in our Class A shares is not an investment in any of the Apollo funds, and the assets and revenues of our funds are not directly available to us. As a result of the deconsolidation of most of our funds, we will not be consolidating those funds in our financial statements for periods after either August 1, 2007 or November 30, 2007. The historical and potential future returns of the funds we manage are not directly linked to returns on our Class A shares. Therefore, you should not conclude that continued positive performance of the funds we manage will necessarily result in

- 89-

Table of Contents

positive returns on an investment in our Class A shares. However, poor performance of the funds that we manage would cause a decline in our revenue from such funds, and would therefore have a negative effect on our performance and in all likelihood the value in our Class A shares. There can be no assurance that any Apollo fund will continue to achieve the same results in the future.

Moreover, the historical returns of our funds should not be considered indicative of the future results you should expect from such funds or from any future funds we may raise, in part because:


•	market conditions during previous periods were significantly more favorable for generating positive performance, particularly in our private equity business, than the market conditions we have experienced for the last few years and may experience in the future;


•	our funds’ returns have benefited from investment opportunities and general market conditions that currently do not exist and may not repeat themselves, and there can be no assurance that our current or future funds will be able to avail themselves of profitable investment opportunities;


•	our private equity funds’ rates of return, which are calculated on the basis of net asset value of the funds’ investments, reflect unrealized gains, which may never be realized;


•	our funds’ returns have benefited from investment opportunities and general market conditions that may not repeat themselves, including the availability of debt capital on attractive terms and the availability of distressed debt opportunities, and we may not be able to achieve the same returns or profitable investment opportunities or deploy capital as quickly;


•	the historical returns that we present are derived largely from the performance of our earlier private equity funds, whereas future fund returns will depend increasingly on the performance of our newer funds, which may have little or no realized investment track record;


•	Fund VI and Fund VII are several times larger than our previous private equity funds, and this additional capital may not be deployed as profitably as our prior funds;


•	the attractive returns of certain of our funds have been driven by the rapid return of invested capital, which has not occurred with respect to all of our funds and we believe is less likely to occur in the future;


•	our track record with respect to our credit and real estate funds is relatively short as compared to our private equity funds;


•	in recent years, there has been increased competition for private equity investment opportunities resulting from the increased amount of capital invested in private equity funds and periods of high liquidity in debt markets, which may result in lower returns for the funds; and


•	our newly established funds may generate lower returns during the period that they take to deploy their capital; consequently, we do not provide return information for any funds which have not been actively investing capital for at least 24 months prior to the valuation date as we believe this information is not meaningful.

Finally, our private equity IRRs have historically varied greatly from fund to fund. For example, Fund IV has generated a 12% gross IRR and a 9% net IRR since its inception through September 30, 2013, while Fund V has generated a 61% gross IRR and a 44% net IRR since its inception through September 30, 2013. Accordingly, the IRR going forward for any current or future fund may vary considerably from the historical IRR generated by any particular fund, or for our private equity funds as a whole. Future returns will also be affected by the applicable risks, including risks of the industries and businesses in which a particular fund invests. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses—The historical returns attributable to our funds should not be considered as indicative of the future results of our funds or of our future results or of any returns expected on an investment in our Class A shares” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013.

Fund I and Fund II were structured such that investments were made from either fund depending on which fund had available capital. We do not differentiate between Fund I and Fund II investments for purposes of performance figures because they are not meaningful on a separate basis and do not demonstrate the progression of returns over time. The general partners and managers of Funds I, II and MIA, as well as the general partner of Fund III were excluded assets in connection with the 2007 Reorganization of Apollo Global Management, LLC. As a result, Apollo Global Management, LLC did not receive the economics associated with these entities. The investment performance of these funds is presented to illustrate fund performance associated with our managing partners and other investment professionals.

AAA completed its initial public offering in June 2006 and is the sole limited partner in AAA Investments. AAA was originally designed to give investors in its common units exposure as a limited partner to certain of the strategies that we employ and allowed us to manage the asset allocations to those strategies by investing alongside our private equity funds and directly in our credit funds and certain other opportunistic investments that we sponsor and manage. On October 31, 2012, AAA and AAA Investments consummated a transaction whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAA Investments contributed substantially all of its investments to Athene in connection with the AAA Transaction. After the AAA Transaction, Athene was AAA’s only material investment and as of September 30, 2013, AAA, through its investment in AAA Investments, was the largest shareholder of Athene Holding Ltd. with an approximate 72.5% economic ownership stake (without giving effect to restricted common shares issued under Athene’s management equity plan and conversion of AAA's note receivable), and effectively 45% of the voting power of Athene. Additional information related to AAA can be found on its website www.apolloalternativeassets.com. The information contained in AAA’s website is not part of this report.

As part of the CPI acquisition, Apollo acquired general partner interests in fully invested funds. The gross and net IRRs are presented in the investment record table above since acquisition on November 12, 2010. The net IRRs from the inception of the respective fund to September 30, 2013 were (7.4)%, 6.4% and (10.0)% for the CPI Capital Partners North America, Asia Pacific and Europe funds, respectively. These net IRRs were primarily achieved during a period in which Apollo did not make the initial investment decisions and Apollo only became the general partner or manager of these funds upon completing the acquisition on November 12, 2010.

Athene and SIAs

As of September 30, 2013, Athene Asset Management LLC had $16.4 billion of total AUM in accounts owned by or related to Athene, of which approximately $7.1 billion, approximately 40%, was either sub-advised by Apollo or invested in Apollo funds and investment vehicles. Of the approximately $7.1 billion of assets, the vast majority were in sub-advisory managed accounts that manage high grade credit asset classes, such as CLO debt, commercial mortgage backed securities, and insurance-linked securities.

In addition to certain funds and SIAs included in the investment record tables and capital deployed from certain SIAs across our private equity, credit and real estate funds, we also managed an additional approximate $6.7 billion of total AUM in SIAs as of September 30, 2013. The above investment record tables exclude certain funds and SIAs with an aggregate AUM of approximately $5.0 billion as of September 30, 2013, which were excluded because management deemed them to be immaterial.

Overview of Results of Operations

Revenues

Advisory and Transaction Fees from Affiliates. As a result of providing advisory services with respect to actual and potential private equity, credit, and real estate investments, we are entitled to receive fees for transactions related to the acquisition and, in certain instances, disposition of portfolio companies as well as fees for ongoing monitoring of portfolio company operations and directors’ fees. We also receive an advisory fee for advisory services provided to certain credit funds. In addition, monitoring fees are generated on certain structured portfolio company investments. Under the terms of the limited partnership agreements for certain funds, the management fee payable by the funds may be subject to a reduction based on a certain percentage of such advisory and transaction fees, net of applicable broken deal costs (“Management Fee Offset”). Such amounts are presented as a reduction to advisory and transaction fees from affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail.

The Management Fee Offsets are calculated for each fund as follows:


•	65%-100% for private equity funds, gross advisory, transaction and other special fees


•	65%-100% for certain credit funds, gross advisory, transaction and other special fees; and


•	100% for certain real estate funds, gross advisory, transaction and other special fees.

These offsets are reflected as a decrease in advisory and transaction fees from affiliates on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Additionally, in the normal course of business, the management companies incur certain costs related to private equity funds (and certain credit funds) transactions that are not consummated, or “broken deal costs.” In accordance with the related fund agreements, in the event the deal is broken, all of the costs are generally reimbursed by the funds and considered in the calculation of the Management Fee Offset (except for Fund VII and certain of our credit funds which initially bear all broken deal costs and these costs are factored into the Management Fee Offsets). These offsets are included in advisory and transaction fees from affiliates in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. If a deal is successfully completed, Apollo is reimbursed by the fund or a fund’s portfolio company for all costs incurred.

Management Fees from Affiliates. The significant growth of the assets we manage has had a positive effect on our revenues. Management fees are typically calculated based upon any of “net asset value,” “gross assets,” “adjusted par asset value,” “adjusted costs of all unrealized portfolio investments,” “capital commitments,” “invested capital,” “adjusted assets,” “capital contributions,” or “stockholders’ equity,” each as defined in the applicable management agreement of the unconsolidated funds.

Carried Interest Income from Affiliates. The general partners of our funds, in general, are entitled to an incentive return that can amount to as much as 20% of the total returns on fund capital, depending upon performance of the underlying funds and subject to preferred returns and high water marks, as applicable. The carried interest income from affiliates is recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP guidance applicable to accounting for arrangement fees based on a formula. In applying the U.S. GAAP guidance, the carried interest from affiliates for any period is based upon an assumed liquidation of the funds’ assets at the reporting date, and distribution of the net proceeds in accordance with the funds’ allocation provisions.

As of September 30, 2013, approximately 73% of the value of our fund investments on a gross basis was determined using market-based valuation methods (i.e., reliance on broker or listed exchange quotes) and the remaining 27% was determined primarily by comparable company and industry multiples or discounted cash flow models. For our private equity, credit and real estate segments, the percentage determined using market-based valuation methods as of September 30, 2013 was 62%, 86% and 50%, respectively. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses—Our private equity funds’ performance, and our performance, may be adversely affected by the financial performance of our portfolio companies and the industries in which our funds invest” for a discussion regarding certain industry-specific risks that could affect the fair value of our private equity funds’ portfolio company investments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013.

Carried interest income fee rates can be as much as 20% for our private equity funds. In our private equity funds, the Company does not earn carried interest income until the investors in the fund have achieved cumulative investment returns on invested capital (including management fees and expenses) in excess of an 8% hurdle rate. Additionally, certain of our credit and real estate funds have various carried interest rates and hurdle rates. Certain credit funds allocate carried interest to the general partner in a similar manner as the private equity funds. In our private equity, certain credit and certain real estate funds,

- 97-

Table of Contents

so long as the investors achieve their priority returns, there is a catch-up formula whereby the Company earns a priority return for a portion of the return until the Company’s carried interest income equates to its incentive fee rate for that fund; thereafter, the Company participates in returns from the fund at the carried interest income rate. Carried interest income is subject to reversal to the extent that the carried interest income distributed exceeds the amount due to the general partner based on a fund’s cumulative investment returns. The accrual for potential repayment of previously received carried interest income represents all amounts previously distributed to the general partner that would need to be repaid to the Apollo funds if these funds were to be liquidated based on the current fair value of the underlying funds’ investments as of the reporting date. This actual general partner obligation, however, would not become payable or realized until the end of a fund’s life.

The table below presents an analysis of our (i) carried interest receivable as of September 30, 2013 and (ii) realized and unrealized carried interest income (loss) for our combined segments' incentive business as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013:

(3)

Includes $80.3 million of carried interest receivable from AAA Investments' investment in Athene Holding Ltd., which may be settled in shares of Athene Holding Ltd. (valued at the then fair market value) if there is a distribution in kind of shares of Athene Holding Ltd. to the AAA unitholders; in the event there is not a distribution of shares, the receivable will be settled in cash. During the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company earned $7.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively from AAA Investments' investment in Athene Holding Ltd.


(4)	There was a corresponding profit sharing payable of $1,078.0 million as of September 30, 2013 that resulted in a net carried interest receivable amount of $1,254.0 million as of September 30, 2013. Included within profit sharing payable are contingent consideration obligations of $128.5 million.

The general partners of the private equity, credit and real estate funds listed in the table above were accruing carried interest income as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, AAA Investments (Co-Invest VI) L.P. ("AAA Co-Invest

VI"), Fund VII, Fund VI, Fund V and Fund IV were each above their hurdle rate of 8% and generating carried interest income. AAA Co-Invest VI is one of the investment partnerships (the “Investment Partnerships”) that were contributed to Athene in connection with the AAA Transaction. The Investment Partnerships pay a quarterly management fee and carried interest to Apollo with respect to the assets contributed in the AAA Transaction as further described under “-Liquidity and Capital Resources - Athene”.

The investment manager of AINV accrues carried interest in the management company business as it is earned. Additionally, certain of our credit funds, including ACSP, AEC, AIE II, COF I, COF II, COF III, FCI, ACLF, AESI, EPF I, ACRF II, SOMA, and SK were each above their hurdle rates or preferred return of 7.0%, 6.0%, 7.5%, 8.0%, 7.5%, 8.0%, 7.0%, 10.0%, 8.0%, 8.0%, 8.0%, 7.0%, and 8.0% respectively, and generating carried interest income. As of September 30, 2013, the CPI Funds and AGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund were above their hurdle rates of 9% and 10%, respectively.

The general partners of certain of our credit funds accrue carried interest when the fair value of investments exceeds the cost basis of the individual investors’ investments in the fund, including any allocable share of expenses incurred in connection with such investments. These high water marks are applied on an individual investor basis. Certain of our credit funds have investors with various high water marks and are subject to market conditions and investment performance. As of September 30, 2013, approximately 88% of the limited partners’ capital in the Value Funds was generating carried interest income.

Carried interest income from our private equity funds and certain credit and real estate funds is subject to contingent repayment by the general partner in the event of future losses to the extent that the cumulative carried interest distributed from inception to date exceeds the amount computed as due to the general partner at the final distribution. These general partner obligations, if applicable, are disclosed by fund in the table below and are included in due to affiliates on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As of September 30, 2013, there were no such general partner obligations related to our credit funds or our real estate funds. Carried interest receivables are reported on a separate line item within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Amounts were computed based on the fair value of fund investments on September 30, 2013. As a result, carried interest income has been allocated to and recognized by the general partner. Based on the amount of carried interest income allocated, a portion is subject to potential reversal or has been reduced by the general partner obligation to return previously distributed carried interest income or fees at September 30, 2013. The actual determination and any required payment of any such general partner obligation would not take place until the final disposition of the fund’s investments based on contractual termination of the fund.

(1)

Based upon a hypothetical liquidation as of September 30, 2013, Apollo has recorded a general partner obligation to return previously distributed carried interest income, which represents amounts due to this fund. The actual determination and any required payment of a general partner obligation would not take place until the final disposition of the fund’s investments based on contractual termination of the fund.


(2)	The fair value gain on investments and income to reverse the general partner obligation is based on the life-to-date activity of the entire fund and assumes a hypothetical liquidation of the fund as of September 30, 2013.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits. Our most significant expense is compensation and benefits expense. This consists of fixed salary, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses, profit sharing expense associated with the carried interest income earned from private equity, credit and real estate funds and compensation expense associated with the vesting of non-cash equity-based awards.

Our compensation arrangements with certain partners and employees contain a significant performance-based incentive component. Therefore, as our net revenues increase, our compensation costs also rise or can be lower when net revenues decrease. In addition, our compensation costs reflect the increased investment in people as we expand geographically and create new funds. All payments for services rendered by our Managing Partners prior to the 2007 Reorganization have been accounted for as partnership distributions rather than compensation and benefits expense. Refer to note 1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the 2007 Reorganization. Subsequent to the 2007 Reorganization, our Managing Partners are considered employees of Apollo. As such, payments for services made to these individuals, including the expense associated with the AOG Units described below, have been recorded as compensation expense. The AOG Units were granted to the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners at the time of the 2007 Reorganization, as discussed in note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition, certain professionals and selected other individuals have a profit sharing interest in the carried interest income earned in relation to our private equity, certain credit and real estate funds in order to better align their interests with our own and with those of the investors in these funds. Profit sharing expense is part of our compensation and benefits expense and is generally based upon a fixed percentage of private equity, credit and real estate carried interest income on a pre-tax and a pre-consolidated basis. Profit sharing expense can reverse during periods when there is a decline in carried interest income that was previously recognized. Profit sharing amounts are normally distributed to employees after the corresponding investment gains have been realized and generally before preferred returns are achieved for the investors. Therefore, changes in our unrealized gains (losses) for investments have the same effect on our profit sharing expense. Profit sharing expense increases when unrealized gains increase. Realizations only impact profit sharing expense to the extent that the effects on investments have not been recognized previously. If losses on other investments within a fund are subsequently realized, the profit sharing amounts previously distributed are normally subject to a general partner obligation to return carried interest income previously distributed back to the funds. This general partner obligation due to the funds would be realized only when the fund is liquidated, which generally occurs at the end of the fund’s term. However, indemnification obligations also exist for pre-reorganization realized gains, which, although our Managing Partners and Contributing Partners would remain personally liable, may indemnify our Managing Partners and Contributing Partners for 17.5% to 100% of the previously distributed profits regardless of the fund’s future performance. Refer to note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of indemnification.

Each Managing Partner receives $100,000 per year in base salary for services rendered to us. Additionally, our Managing Partners can receive other forms of compensation. In connection with the 2007 Reorganization, the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners received AOG Units with a vesting period of five to six years (all of which have fully vested) and certain employees were granted RSUs with a vesting period of typically six years (all of which have also fully vested). Managing Partners, Contributing Partners and certain employees have also been granted AAA RDUs, or incentive units

- 101-

Table of Contents

that provide the right to receive AAA RDUs, which both represent common units of AAA and generally vest over three years for employees and are fully-vested for Managing Partners and Contributing Partners on the grant date. In addition, ARI RSUs, ARI restricted stock and AMTG RSUs have been granted to the Company and certain employees in the real estate and credit segments, which generally vest over three years. In addition, the Company grants equity awards to certain employees, including RSUs and options, that generally vest and become exercisable in quarterly installments or annual installments depending on the contract terms over a period of three to six years. Refer to note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of AOG Units and other equity-based compensation.

Other Expenses. The balance of our other expenses includes interest, litigation settlement, professional fees, placement fees, occupancy, depreciation and amortization and other general operating expenses. Interest expense consists primarily of interest related to the AMH Credit Agreement which has a variable interest amount based on LIBOR and ABR interest rates as discussed in note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Placement fees are incurred in connection with our capital raising activities. Occupancy expense represents charges related to office leases and associated expenses, such as utilities and maintenance fees. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets is normally calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to sixteen years, taking into consideration any residual value. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the expected term of the lease. Intangible assets are amortized based on the future cash flows over the expected useful lives of the assets. Other general operating expenses normally include costs related to travel, information technology and administration.

Other Income (Loss)

Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities. The performance of the consolidated Apollo funds has impacted our net gains (losses) from investment activities. Net gains (losses) from investment activities include both realized gains and losses and the change in unrealized gains and losses in our investment portfolio between the opening balance sheet date and the closing balance sheet date. Net unrealized gains (losses) are a result of changes in the fair value of unrealized investments and reversal of unrealized gains (losses) due to dispositions of investments during the reporting period. Significant judgment and estimation goes into the assumptions that drive these models and the actual values realized with respect to investments could be materially different from values obtained based on the use of those models. The valuation methodologies applied impact the reported value of investment company holdings and their underlying portfolios in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities of Consolidated Variable Interest Entities. Changes in the fair value of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities and related interest, dividend and other income and expenses subsequent to consolidation are presented within net gains (losses) from investment activities of consolidated variable interest entities and are attributable to Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Interest Income. The Company recognizes security transactions on the trade date. Interest income is recognized as earned on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method.

Other Income (Loss), Net. Other income (loss), net includes the recognition of bargain purchase gains as a result of Apollo acquisitions, gains (losses) arising from the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, reversal of a portion of the tax receivable agreement liability (see note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements), gains (losses) arising from the remeasurement of derivative instruments associated with fees from certain of the Company’s affiliates and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expenses.

Income Taxes. The Apollo Operating Group and its subsidiaries generally operate as partnerships for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. As a result, except as described below, the Apollo Operating Group has not been subject to U.S. income taxes. However, these entities in some cases are subject to NYC UBT, and non-U.S. entities, in some cases, are subject to non-U.S. corporate income taxes. In addition, APO Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local corporate income tax, and the Company’s provision for income taxes is accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

As significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties, we recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If a tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. The Company’s tax positions are reviewed and evaluated quarterly to determine whether or not we have uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. 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.

Non-Controlling Interests

For entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, a portion of the income or loss and corresponding equity is allocated to owners other than Apollo. The aggregate of the income or loss and corresponding equity that is not owned by the Company is included in Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Non-Controlling Interests relating to Apollo Global Management, LLC primarily include the 61.7% and 64.9% ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group held by the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners through their limited partner interests in Holdings as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and other ownership interests in consolidated entities, which primarily consist of the approximate 97% ownership interests held by limited partners in AAA as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Non-Controlling Interests also include limited partner interests of Apollo managed funds in certain consolidated VIEs.

The authoritative guidance for Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements requires reporting entities to present Non-Controlling Interest as equity and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and Non-Controlling Interests. According to the guidance, (1) Non-Controlling Interests are presented as a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, (2) net income (loss) includes the net income (loss) attributable to the Non-Controlling Interest holders on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, (3) the primary components of Non-Controlling Interest are separately presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity to clearly distinguish the interests in the Apollo Operating Group and other ownership interests in the consolidated entities and (4) profits and losses are allocated to Non-Controlling Interests in proportion to their ownership interests regardless of their basis.

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted amended consolidation guidance issued by the FASB on issues related to VIEs. The amended guidance significantly affects the overall consolidation analysis, changing the approach taken by companies in identifying which entities are VIEs and in determining which party is the primary beneficiary. The amended guidance requires continuous assessment of the reporting entity’s involvement with such VIEs. The amended guidance also enhances the disclosure requirements for a reporting entity’s involvement with VIEs, including presentation on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition of assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs that meet the separate presentation criteria and disclosure of assets and liabilities recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and the maximum exposure to loss for those VIEs in which a reporting entity is determined to not be the primary beneficiary but in which it has a variable interest. The guidance provides a limited scope deferral for a reporting entity’s interest in an entity that meets all of the following conditions: (a) the entity has all the attributes of an investment company as defined under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Audit and Accounting Guide, Investment Companies, or does not have all the attributes of an investment company but is an entity for which it is acceptable based on industry practice to apply measurement principles that are consistent with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Investment Companies, (b) the reporting entity does not have explicit or implicit obligations to fund any losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity and (c) the entity is not a securitization entity, asset-backed financing entity or an entity that was formerly considered a qualifying special-purpose entity. The reporting entity is required to perform a consolidation analysis for entities that qualify for the deferral in accordance with previously issued guidance on variable interest entities. Apollo’s involvement with the funds it manages is such that all three of the above conditions are met with the exception of certain vehicles which fail condition (c) above. As previously discussed, the incremental impact of adopting the amended consolidation guidance has resulted in the consolidation of certain VIEs managed by the Company. Additional disclosures related to Apollo’s involvement with VIEs are presented in note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Advisory and transaction fees from affiliates, including directors’ fees and reimbursed broken deal costs, increased by $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This was attributable to an increase in advisory and transaction fees in the credit segment of $17.7 million, offset by a decrease in advisory and transaction fees in the private equity segment of $3.9 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, gross and net advisory fees, including directors’ fees, were $40.0 million and $27.5 million, respectively, and gross and net transaction fees were $3.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, gross and net advisory fees, including directors’ fees, were $37.6 million and $14.4 million, respectively, and gross and net transaction fees were $7.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Advisory and transaction fees are reported net of Management Fee Offsets as calculated under the terms of the respective limited partnership agreements. See “—Overview of Results of Operations—Revenues—Advisory and Transaction Fees from Affiliates” for a summary that addresses how the Management Fee Offsets are calculated.

Management fees from affiliates increased by $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to increases in management fees earned by our credit and real estate segments by $6.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as a result of corresponding increases in the net assets managed and fee-generating invested capital with respect to these segments during the period, offset by a decrease in management fees earned by our private equity segment of $3.7 million. Part of the increase in management fees earned from the credit funds was attributable to an increase of $1.4 million of fees earned from consolidated VIEs which are included in the credit segment results but were eliminated in consolidation.

Carried interest income from affiliates increased by $402.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to increased carried interest income driven by increases in the fair value of portfolio investments held by certain funds and certain co-invest vehicles, primarily Fund VI, AAA Co-Invest VI, an indirect subsidiary of Athene Holding Ltd., EPF I and Fund V which had increased carried interest income of $418.6 million, $88.9 million, $18.1 million and $13.7 million, respectively. AAA Co-Invest VI is one of the investment partnerships (the “Investment Partnerships”) that were contributed to Athene in connection with the AAA Transaction. The Investment Partnerships pay a quarterly management fee and carried interest to Apollo with respect to the assets contributed in the AAA Transaction as further described under “-Liquidity and Capital Resources - Athene”. This was offset by COF I, ACLF, CLOs, Fund VII and COF II, which had decreased carried interest income of $54.1 million, $32.6 million, $27.0 million, $16.1 million and $14.3 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The remaining change was attributable to an overall increase in the fair value of portfolio investments of the other funds, which generated increased carried interest income of $7.2 million during the period. Part of the change in carried interest income from affiliates was attributable to a decrease in carried interest income of $26.9 million earned from consolidated VIEs which are included in the credit segment results but were eliminated in consolidation during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Advisory and transaction fees from affiliates, including directors’ fees and reimbursed broken deal costs, increased by $29.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This was attributable to increases in advisory and transaction fees in the credit and real estate segments of $49.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, offset by decreases in advisory and transaction fees in the private equity segment of $22.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, gross and net advisory fees, including directors’ fees, were $153.1 million and $93.4 million, respectively, and gross and net transaction fees were $109.8 million and $48.0 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, gross and net advisory fees, including directors’ fees, were $117.2 million and $48.9 million, respectively, and gross and net transaction fees were $121.2 million and $66.0 million, respectively. Advisory and transaction fees are reported net of Management Fee Offsets as calculated under the terms of the respective limited partnership agreements. See “—Overview of Results of Operations—Revenues—Advisory and Transaction Fees from Affiliates” for a summary that addresses how the Management Fee Offsets are calculated.

Management fees from affiliates increased by $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to increases in management fees earned by our credit and real estate segments by $53.9 million and $6.0 million, respectively, as a result of corresponding increases in the net assets managed and fee-generating invested capital with respect to these segments during the period, offset by a decrease in management fees earned by our private equity segment of $8.0 million. Part of the increase in management fees earned from the credit funds was attributable to an increase of $13.4 million of fees earned from consolidated VIEs, which are included in the credit segment results but were eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

Carried interest income from affiliates increased by $1,169.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to increased carried interest income driven by increases in the fair value of portfolio investments held by certain funds and co-invest vehicles, primarily Fund VI, Fund VII, AAA Co-Invest VI, EPF I and SOMA which had increased carried interest income of $1,039.0 million, $166.3 million, $88.9 million, $28.9 million and $22.4 million, respectively, partially offset by COF I, COF II, CLOs and ACLF, which had decreased carried interest income of $77.2 million, $43.2 million, $41.1 million and $36.2 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The remaining change was attributable to an overall increase in the fair value of portfolio investments of the other funds, which generated increased carried interest income of $22.0 million during the period. Part of the change in carried interest income from affiliates was attributable to a decrease in carried interest income of $39.0 million earned from consolidated VIEs which are included in the credit segment results but were eliminated in consolidation during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Expenses

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Compensation and benefits increased by $79.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in profit sharing expense of $186.7 million as a result of the favorable performance of certain of our private equity and credit funds during the period, partially offset by a reduction of equity-based compensation by $123.6 million, specifically the amortization of AOG Units which decreased by $116.2 million due to the expiration of the vesting period for the Managing Partners in June 2013. Included in profit sharing expense was $17.0 million and $18.8 million of expenses related to the Incentive Pool (as defined below) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, salary, bonus and benefits increased by $16.6 million as a result of an increase in headcount during the period as compared to the same period in 2012.

The Company intends to, over time, seek to more directly tie compensation of its professionals to realized performance of the Company’s business, which will likely result in greater variability in compensation. As previously disclosed, in June 2011, the Company adopted a performance based incentive arrangement (the “Incentive Pool”) whereby certain partners and employees earned discretionary compensation based on carried interest realizations earned by the Company during the year, which amounts are reflected as profit sharing expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the Incentive Pool to attract and retain, and provide incentive to, partners and employees of the Company and to more closely align the overall compensation of partners and employees with the overall realized performance of the Company. Allocations to the Incentive Pool and to its participants contain both a fixed and a discretionary component and may vary year-to-year depending on the overall realized performance of the Company and the contributions and performance of each participant. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to compensate individuals through performance-based incentive arrangements in the future and there may be periods when the Executive Committee of the Company’s manager determines that allocations of realized carried interest income are not sufficient to compensate individuals, which may result in an increase in salary, bonus and benefits.

Professional fees increased by $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was attributable to higher external accounting, tax, audit, legal and consulting fees incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012 due to the continued expansion of our global investment platform.

General, administrative and other expenses decreased by $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease in organizational expenses due to a decrease in costs associated with the launch of new funds during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Placement fees decreased by $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. Placement fees are incurred in connection with the raising of capital for new and existing funds. The fees are normally payable to placement agents, who are third parties that assist in identifying potential investors, securing commitments to invest from such potential investors, preparing or revising offering marketing materials, developing strategies for attempting to secure investments by potential investors and/or providing feedback and insight regarding issues and concerns of potential investors. This change was primarily attributable to decreased fundraising efforts during the period in connection with our credit funds, primarily EPF II, during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 offset by a net increase in placement fees for the remainder of the funds. Included in placement fees was $2.5 million in fees related to the launch of Fund VIII during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Table of Contents

Occupancy expense increased by $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to additional expenses incurred from the extension of existing leases along with additional office space leased as a result of the increase in our headcount to support the expansion of our global investment platform during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to decreased intangible asset amortization during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Compensation and benefits increased by $162.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in profit sharing expense of $468.7 million million as a result of the favorable performance of certain of our private equity and credit funds during the period, partially offset by a reduction of equity-based compensation by $325.8 million, specifically the amortization of AOG Units which decreased by $318.5 million due to the expiration of the vesting period for the Managing Partners in June 2013. Included in profit sharing expense was $49.0 million and $46.1 million of expenses related to the Incentive Pool for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, salary, bonus and benefits increased by $19.3 million as a result of an increase in headcount during the period as compared to the same period in 2012.

Interest expense decreased by $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to decreased interest expense related to interest rate swaps of $3.2 million and decreased interest expense due to a lower margin rate on the AMH Credit Agreement of $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The Company’s last remaining interest rate swap expired in May of 2012.

Professional fees increased by $16.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was attributable to higher external accounting, tax, audit, legal and consulting fees incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, associated with the launch of our new funds, continued expansion of our global investment platform, and the Secondary Offering.

General, administrative and other expenses increased by $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to increased travel, information technology, recruiting, organizational and other expenses incurred associated with the launch of our new funds and continued expansion of our global investment platform during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Placement fees increased by $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to increased fundraising efforts during the period in connection with AIF and Fund VIII, which incurred $6.7 million and $2.5 million of placement fees during the period, respectively. This was partially offset by a decrease in placement fees related to EPF II, which incurred decreased placement fees of $6.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Occupancy expense increased by $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to additional expenses incurred from the extension of existing leases along with additional office space leased as a result of the increase in our headcount to support the expansion of our global investment platform during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

million decrease in unrealized gains related to the change in the fair value of the investment in HFA during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Net gains (losses) from investment activities of consolidated VIEs increased by $124.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in net realized and unrealized gains relating to the debt held by the consolidated VIEs of $263.2 million during the period. This was offset by a decrease in the fair values of investments held by the consolidated VIEs of $117.5 million, lower interest and other income of $19.4 million and an increase in other expenses of $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Income from equity method investments decreased by $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily driven by changes in the fair values of certain Apollo funds in which the Company has a direct interest. COF I, Fund VII and ACLF had the most significant impact and together generated $22.8 million of income from equity method investments during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to a $34.5 million of income from equity method investments during the three months ended September 30, 2012, resulting in a net decrease of $11.7 million.

Other income, net increased by $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, mainly due to a $13.0 million reduction of the tax receivable agreement liability due to a change in estimated tax rates. Please refer to note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for information pertaining to the tax receivable agreement.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Net gains from investment activities decreased by $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to a $20.6 million decrease in net unrealized gains related to changes in the fair value of AAA Investments’ portfolio investments and a $1.2 million decrease in unrealized gains related to the change in the fair value of the investment in HFA during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Net gains (losses) from investment activities of consolidated VIEs increased by $121.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in net realized and unrealized gains relating to the debt held by the consolidated VIEs of $293.2 million and higher interest and other income of $93.3 million during the period. This was offset by a decrease in the fair values of investments held by the consolidated VIEs of $213.2 million and an increase in other expenses of $52.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Income from equity method investments decreased by $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily driven by changes in the fair values of certain Apollo funds in which the Company has a direct interest. COF I and COF II had the most significant impact and together generated $6.4 million of income from equity method investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $20.2 million of income from equity method investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, resulting in a net decrease of $13.8 million. This was offset by Fund VII and AINV, which together generated $54.7 million of income from equity method investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $47.1 million of income from equity method investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, resulting in a net increase of $7.6 million.

Other income, net decreased by $1,933.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease in gains on acquisitions of $1,951.2 million as a result of the bargain purchase gain recorded on the Stone Tower acquisition during April 2012 partially offset by a $13.0 million increase in other income due to a reduction of the tax receivable agreement liability due to a change in estimated tax rates.

Income Tax Provision

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

The income tax provision increased by $25.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. As discussed in note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company’s income tax provision primarily relates to the earnings generated by APO Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, LLC that is subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes. APO Corp. had taxable income of $66.8 million and $48.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, after adjusting for permanent tax differences. The $18.0 million change in income before taxes resulted in increased federal, state and local taxes of $25.4 million during the period utilizing a marginal corporate tax rate and adjusting the estimated rate of tax Apollo expects to pay in the future. This was partially offset by a decrease in the income tax provision of $0.1 million which primarily resulted from a decrease in the NYC UBT, as well as taxes on foreign subsidiaries.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

The income tax provision increased by $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As discussed in note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company’s income tax provision primarily relates to the earnings generated by APO Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, LLC that is subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes. APO Corp. had taxable income of $153.0 million and $99.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, after adjusting for permanent tax differences. The $53.1 million change in income before taxes resulted in increased federal, state and local taxes of $39.1 million during the period utilizing a marginal corporate tax rate and adjusting the estimated rate of tax Apollo expects to pay in the future. This was partially offset by a decrease in the income tax provision of $2.3 million which primarily resulted from an increase in the NYC UBT, as well as taxes on foreign subsidiaries.

This amount is calculated by applying the weighted average ownership percentage range of approximately 61.8% and 63.2% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and approximately 65.0% and 65.4% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, to the condensed consolidated net income of the Apollo Operating Group before a corporate income tax provision and after allocations to the Non-Controlling Interests in consolidated entities.

Segment Analysis

Discussed below are our results of operations for each of our reportable segments. They represent the segment information available and utilized by our executive management, which consists of our Managing Partners, who operate collectively as our chief operating decision maker, to assess performance and to allocate resources. Management divides its operations into three reportable segments: private equity, credit and real estate. These segments were established based on the nature of investment activities in each underlying fund, including the specific type of investment made, the frequency of trading, and the level of control over the investment. Segment results do not consider consolidation of funds, equity-based compensation expense comprised of AOG Units, income taxes, amortization of intangibles associated with the 2007 Reorganization and acquisitions and Non-Controlling Interests with the exception of allocations of income to certain individuals.

In addition to providing the financial results of our three reportable business segments, we further evaluate our individual reportable segments based on what we refer to as our management and incentive businesses. Our management business is generally characterized by the predictability of its financial metrics, including revenues and expenses. The management business includes management fee revenues, advisory and transaction revenues, carried interest income from one of our opportunistic credit funds and expenses, each of which we believe are more stable in nature. The financial performance of our incentive business is partially dependent upon quarterly mark-to-market unrealized valuations in accordance with U.S. GAAP guidance applicable to fair value measurements. The incentive business includes carried interest income, income from equity method investments and profit sharing expense that are associated with our general partner interests in the Apollo funds, which are generally less predictable and more volatile in nature.

Our financial results vary, since carried interest, which generally constitutes a large portion of the income from the funds that we manage, as well as the transaction and advisory fees that we receive, can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. As a result, we emphasize long-term financial growth and profitability to manage our business.

Revenues

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Advisory and transaction fees from affiliates, including directors' fees, termination fees and reimbursed broken deal costs decreased by $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease of $3.9 million in net advisory fees earned during the period driven by $3.1 million from Fund VI and $2.3 million from Fund V, partially offset by increases in other private equity funds. Fund VI’s decrease was mainly due to increased dispositions of advisory fee earning portfolio companies, such as Countrywide plc and Berry Plastics Group, Inc. which had initial public offerings in Q1 2013 and Q4 2012, respectively. The decrease in Fund V was primarily due to additional management fee offsets related to director fees recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2013. Included in advisory and transaction fees from affiliates is $2.5 million and $0.4 million recognized as a reversal of the Management Fee Offset for Fund V and Fund IV, respectively, and $4.8 million of additional Management Fee Offsets related to director fees, net of director fee income.

Management fees from affiliates decreased by $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to decreased management fees earned from Fund VII of $10.9 million due to a change in the management fee rate and basis from capital commitments to unrealized cost of

investments that was triggered by the commencement of Fund VIII’s investment period. Fund VI’s management fees also decreased by $2.8 million due to lower invested capital during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. This decrease was partially offset by Fund VIII, which launched in August 2013, and generated $10.5 million in management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Carried interest income from affiliates increased by $511.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to increases in carried interest income earned from Fund VI of $418.6 million, AAA Co-Invest VI of $88.9 million and Fund V of $13.7 million, partially offset by $16.1 million. Included in carried interest income from affiliates was an increase of $345.9 million mainly driven by increased dispositions of underlying portfolio investments held during the period by Fund VI and Fund VII of $195.0 million and $170.2 million, respectively, offset by decreases from Fund V and AAA Investments of $16.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, during the period. The remaining increase relates to an increase in net unrealized carried interest income of $165.8 million driven by increases in the fair values of the underlying portfolio investments held during the period primarily by Fund VI, AAA Co-Invest VI and Fund V of $223.6 million, $88.9 million and $30.6 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in Fund VII of $186.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. Fund VII’s decrease primarily resulted from the reversal of unrealized carried interest income to realized carried interest income due to the realization of underlying portfolio investments held during the period.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Advisory and transaction fees from affiliates, including directors' fees, termination fees and reimbursed broken deal costs decreased by $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease of $16.5 million in net transaction and termination fees driven by Fund VII, Fund VI and ANRP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Fund VII earned net transaction and termination fees of $41.0 million and $49.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $8.7 million. During the 2012 period, the fees from Fund VII were driven by net transaction fees earned from EP Energy Corporation, Taminco Corporation and Great Wolf Resorts, Inc. of $47.0 million, whereas in the 2013 period, fees were driven by net transaction and termination fees earned from McGraw-Hill Education, Inc., Taminco Corporation and Constellium of $35.4 million. Fund VI's decrease was mostly due to net termination fees earned from Rexnord Corporation during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, versus zero termination fees earned as of September 30, 2013. The decrease in ANRP was mainly due to net transaction fees earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from EP Energy Corporation of $4.0 million, versus $0.2 million earned from Talos Energy, LLC as of September 30, 2013. Included in advisory and transaction fees from affiliates is $18.9 million and $0.4 million recognized as a reversal of the Management Fee Offset for Fund V and Fund IV, respectively, and $18.3 million of additional Management Fee Offsets related to director fees, net of director fee income.

Management fees from affiliates decreased by $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to decreased management fees earned from Fund VII of $10.9 million due to a change in management fee rate and basis from capital commitments to unrealized cost of investments that was triggered by the commencement of Fund VIII’s investment period. Also contributing to the decrease during the period were decreases of $11.4 million from AAA Investments and $5.5 million from Fund VI due to lower adjusted assets from the contribution of investments to Athene Holding Ltd. in connection with the AAA Transaction and lower invested capital, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by Fund VIII, which launched in August 2013 and generated $10.5 million in management fees, and the Investment Partnerships, which began earning fees in Q4 2012 as a result of the AAA Transaction and generated $7.3 million of management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Refer to notes 3 and 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a complete summary of the AAA Transaction and fee arrangements related to management fees earned from the Investment Partnerships.

Carried interest income from affiliates increased by $1,277.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to increases in carried interest income earned from Fund VI of $1,039.0 million, Fund VII of $166.3 million and AAA Co-Invest VI of $88.9 million, partially offset by a decrease of $32.9 million. Included in carried interest income from affiliates was an increase in realized carried interest income of $1,212.1 million mainly driven from increased dispositions of underlying portfolio investments held during the period by Fund VII, Fund VI and Fund V which resulted in realized carried interest income of $704.3 million, $456.4 million and $62.5 million, respectively, partially offset by $10.2 million from AAA Investments during the period. The remaining increase relates to an increase in net unrealized carried interest income of $65.5 million driven by increases in the fair values of the underlying portfolio investments held during the period primarily by Fund VI and AAA Co-Invest VI of $582.6 million and $88.9 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in Fund VII of $538.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. Fund VII’s decrease primarily resulted from the reversal of unrealized carried interest income to realized carried interest income due to the realization of underlying portfolio investments held during the period.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Advisory and transaction fees from affiliates increased by $17.7 million, or 319.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. Gross advisory and transaction fees, including directors’ fees, were $26.6 million and $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $13.7 million, or 106.2%. Net advisory fees earned were $22.8 million and $4.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was mainly driven by an increase in monitoring fees based on Athene capital and surplus of $18.5 million. Net transaction fees earned were $0.4 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease of $0.5 million in net transaction fees is primarily driven by decreases of $0.4 million and $0.3 million related to portfolio investments of EPF I and EPF II, respectively.

Table of Contents

Management fees from affiliates increased by $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to increases in management fees earned from Athene, ACF, AIF, and EPF I of $7.5 million, $1.8 million, $1.0 million, and $0.8 million, respectively during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in management fees was partially offset by a $2.6 million decrease in fees generated from COF II and a $2.0 million decrease in fees generated from SVF, compared to the same period in 2012. The remaining change was attributable to other credit funds, collectively, which contributed to a decrease of $0.3 million in management fees during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Carried interest income from affiliates decreased by $134.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to lower carried interest income related to COF I of $54.1 million, ACLF of $32.6 million, CLOs of $27.0 million, and COF II of $14.3 million, offset by higher carried interest income related to EPF I of $18.0 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Included in carried interest income from affiliates was realized carried interest income which increased by $62.6 million, primarily resulting from increased dividends, interest income, and dispositions of portfolio investments held by COF I of $31.7 million, ACLF of $28.6 million, and CLOs of $8.0 million as compared to the same period in 2012. The remaining change was attributable to other credit funds, which in aggregate contributed to a decrease of $5.7 million in realized carried interest income. The increase in realized carried interest income was offset by a $197.4 million increase in net unrealized carried interest loss. This offset primarily resulted from reversals of unrealized carried interest income to realized carried interest income due to the realization of underlying portfolio investments held during the period by COF I, ACLF, and CLOs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Gross advisory and transaction fees, including directors’ fees, were $79.1 million and $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $40.6 million, or 105.5%. Net advisory fees earned were $65.7 million and $12.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was mainly driven by an increase in monitoring fees based on Athene capital and surplus of $52.9 million. Net transaction fees earned were $1.4 million and $4.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease of $3.4 million in net transaction fees is primarily driven by decreases of $2.2 million and $0.9 million related to portfolio investments of EPF I and EPF II, respectively. Advisory and transaction fees, including directors’ fees, are reported net of Management Fee Offsets which totaled $12.0 million and $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, a decrease of $8.9 million or 42.6%.

Management fees from affiliates increased by $53.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to increases in management fees earned from Athene , EPF II, CLOs and ACF of $24.9 million, $21.0 million, $10.7 million, and $7.5 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in management fees was partially offset by a $5.8 million decrease in fees generated from SVF compared to the same period in 2012. In addition, there were decreases in management fees from COF II and COF I of $5.3 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared with the same period in 2012. The remaining change was attributable to other credit funds, which contributed to an increase of $3.1 million in management fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Carried interest income from affiliates decreased by $134.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to lower carried interest income related to COF I of $77.2 million, COF II of $43.2 million, CLOs of $41.1 million, and ACLF of $36.2 million, offset by an increase in carried interest income related to EPF I of $28.9 million and SOMA of $22.4 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Included in carried interest income from affiliates was realized carried interest income which increased by $180.6 million for the period, primarily resulting from increased dividends, interest income, and dispositions of portfolio investments held by COF I of $88.6 million, EPF I of $33.0 million, ACLF of $28.6 million, CLOs of $15.1 million, and VIF of $7.2 million. The remaining change was attributable to other credit funds, which in the aggregate contributed an increase of $8.0 million in realized carried interest income. The increase in realized carried interest income was offset by a $314.5 million decrease in net unrealized carried interest income. This primarily resulted from reversals of unrealized carried interest income to realized carried interest income due to the realization of underlying portfolio investments held during the period by COF I, ACLF, CLOs and COF II. This was offset by an increase in unrealized carried interest income from SOMA of $21.9 million.

Revenues

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Management fees increased by $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. Of this increase, $0.6 million was due to management fees earned from certain sub-advisory agreements and due to 2012 CMBS-I Fund, L.P. and 2012 CMBS-II Fund, L.P., which began generating fees in the third quarter of 2012. Additionally, subsequent to September 30, 2012, ARI and AGRE Debt Fund I, L.P. raised additional fee generating capital, which resulted in higher management fees earned during the period of $1.5 million. The increase in management fees was partially offset by a decrease in management fees earned from the CPI funds of $0.3 million as a result of the realization of underlying investments during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Carried interest income from affiliates decreased by $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.5 million in net unrealized carried interest driven by a decrease in the fair values of the underlying portfolio investments held during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Advisory and transaction fees from affiliates increased by $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was attributable to additional capital raised and invested for which transaction fees were earned during the period.

Management fees increased by $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Of this increase, $3.0 million was due to management fees earned from certain sub-advisory agreements and due to 2012 CMBS-I Fund, L.P. and 2012 CMBS-II Fund, L.P., which began generating fees in the third quarter of 2012. Additionally, subsequent to September 30, 2012, ARI and AGRE Debt Fund I, L.P. raised additional fee generating capital which resulted in higher management fees earned during the period of $4.6 million. The increase in management fees was partially offset by a decrease in management fees earned from the CPI funds of $1.3 million as a result of the realization of underlying investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. Further offsetting the increase was a decrease of $0.8 million from AGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund, L.P. which generated higher management fees during the second quarter of 2012 due to new commitments to the fund for which the management fees were calculated retrospectively back to the initial closing date of the fund.

Carried interest income from affiliates decreased by $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This change was primarily attributable to a $9.0 million decrease in net unrealized carried interest driven by a decrease in the fair values of the underlying portfolio investments held during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. Also driving the change in carried interest income from affiliates was a decrease in realized gains of $3.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

This change was primarily attributable to an increase of $1.6 million in salary, bonus and benefits driven by increases in accrued employee bonuses during the period. Also, equity-based compensation expense increased by $0.6 million due to an increase in equity-based awards during the period as compared to the same period in 2012. These increases were offset by a decrease in profit sharing expense of $1.9 million driven by decreased carried interest income earned from our real estate funds during the period. Included in profit sharing expense was a decrease of $0.3 million related to the Incentive Pool for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Other expenses increased by $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Included in profit sharing expense was a decrease of $0.1 million related to the Incentive Pool for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Other expenses increased by $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Income from equity method investments increased by $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Also contributing to the increase were gains resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates of foreign denominated assets and liabilities of subsidiaries and reduction of the tax receivable agreement liability due to a change in estimated tax rates. Please refer to the note 11 in the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the tax receivable agreement.

Summary Combined Segment Results for Management Business and Incentive Business

The following tables combine our reportable segments’ statements of operations information and supplemental performance measure, ENI, for our management and incentive businesses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. ENI represents segment income (loss), excluding the impact of non-cash charges related to RSUs granted in connection with the 2007 private placement and equity-based compensation expense comprising amortization of AOG Units, income taxes, amortization of intangibles associated with the 2007 Reorganization and acquisitions and Non-Controlling with the exception of allocations of income to certain individuals. In addition, segment data excludes the assets, liabilities and operating results of the Apollo funds and consolidated VIEs that are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. ENI is not a U.S. GAAP measure.

In addition to providing the financial results of our three reportable business segments, we evaluate our reportable segments based on what we refer to as our management and incentive businesses. Our management business is generally characterized by the predictability of its financial metrics, including revenues and expenses. This business includes management fee revenues, advisory and transaction fee revenues, carried interest income from one of our opportunistic credit funds and expenses, each of which we believe are more stable in nature.

Included in unrealized profit sharing expense is reversal of previously realized profit sharing expense for the amounts receivable from Contributing Partners and certain employees due to the general partner obligation to return previously distributed carried interest income of $8.7 million and $32.4 million for Fund VI, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The general partner obligation is recognized based upon a hypothetical liquidation of the funds' net assets as of the balance sheet date. The actual determination and any required payment of any such general partner obligation would not take place until the final disposition of a fund's investments based on the contractual termination of the fund.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical

Although we have managed our historical liquidity needs by looking at deconsolidated cash flows, our historical condensed consolidated statements of cash flows reflects the cash flows of Apollo, as well as those of our consolidated Apollo funds.

The primary cash flow activities of Apollo are:


•	Generating cash flow from operations;


•	Making investments in Apollo funds;


•	Meeting financing needs through credit agreements; and


•	Distributing cash flow to equity holders and Non-Controlling Interests.

Primary cash flow activities of the consolidated Apollo funds are:


•	Raising capital from their investors, which have been reflected historically as Non-Controlling Interests of the consolidated subsidiaries in our financial statements;


•	Using capital to make investments;


•	Generating cash flow from operations through distributions, interest and the realization of investments; and


•	Distributing cash flow to investors.

Table of Contents

While primarily met by cash flows generated through fee income and carried interest income received, working capital needs have also been met (to a limited extent) through borrowings as follows:



	September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Outstanding Balance		Annualized Weighted Average Interest Rate		Outstanding Balance		Annualized Weighted Average Interest Rate
AMH Credit Agreement	$	728,273	4.04	%	$	728,273	4.95	%	⁽¹⁾
CIT secured loan agreements	—		—		9,545		3.47	%
Total Debt	$	728,273	4.04	%	$	737,818	4.93	%


(1)	Includes the effect of interest rate swaps.

We determine whether to make capital commitments to our funds in excess of our minimum required amounts based on a variety of factors, including estimates regarding our liquidity resources over the estimated time period during which commitments will have to be funded, estimates regarding the amounts of capital that may be appropriate for other funds that we are in the process of raising or are considering raising, and our general working capital requirements.

We have made one or more distributions to our Managing Partners and Contributing Partners, representing all of the undistributed earnings generated by the businesses contributed to the Apollo Operating Group prior to the private offering transactions that occurred in 2007 pursuant to which the Company sold shares to certain initial purchasers and accredited investors in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. For this purpose, income attributable to carried interest on private equity funds related to either carry-generating transactions that closed prior to the private offering transactions which closed in July 2007 or carry-generating transactions to which a definitive agreement was executed, but that did not close, prior to the private offering transactions are treated as having been earned prior to the private offering transactions.

Cash Flows

Significant amounts from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are summarized and discussed within the table and corresponding commentary below:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012
	(in thousands)
Operating Activities	$	927,029		$	460,433
Investing Activities	87,296			(134,982		)
Financing Activities	(822,954		)	(316,992		)
Net Increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	191,371		$	8,459

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $927.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During this period, there was $1,643.8 million in net income. Additional adjustments to reconcile cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included $109.6 million of equity-based compensation, a $172.8 million increase in profit sharing payable, $203.4 million of unrealized losses on debt of the consolidated VIEs and $6,867.8 million in proceeds from sales of investments primarily held by the consolidated VIEs. These favorable cash adjustments were offset by a $453.8 million increase in carried interest receivable, $7,968.8 million of net purchases of investments held by the consolidated VIEs, a $297.0 million increase in other assets of the consolidated VIEs and $139.6 net realized gain on debt.

Net cash used in operating activities was $460.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. During this period, there was $2,463.4 million in net income, to which $435.4 million of equity-based compensation, a non-cash expense, and $1,951.1 million in gain on business acquisitions, were added to reconcile net income to net cash used in operating activities. Additional adjustments to reconcile cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included $4,650.6 million in proceeds from sales of investments primarily held by the consolidated VIEs, a $338.1 million increase in profit sharing payable, $356.9 million of unrealized losses on debt of the consolidated VIEs, a $78.4 million increase in other assets of the consolidated VIEs and $99.7 million in distributions from investment activities. These favorable cash adjustments were offset

by $4,658.4 million of net purchases of investments held by the consolidated VIEs, $340.5 million in net unrealized gains from investments primarily held by the consolidated funds and VIEs, a $249.6 million increase in cash held at consolidated VIEs, and a $723.3 million increase in carried interest receivable. The increase in our carried interest receivable balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was driven primarily by a $1,251.2 million increase of carried interest income from the change in fair value of funds for which we act as general partner, offset by fund cash distributions of $527.9 million.

The operating cash flow amounts from the Apollo funds and consolidated VIEs represent the significant variances between net income (loss) and cash flow from operations and were classified as operating activities pursuant to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or “AICPA,” Audit and Accounting Guide, Investment Companies. The increasing capital needs reflect the growth of our business while the fund-related requirements vary based upon the specific investment activities being conducted at a point in time. These movements do not adversely affect our liquidity or earnings trends because we currently have sufficient cash reserves compared to planned expenditures.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $87.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was primarily comprised of $156.7 million relating cash distributions received from equity method investments offset by $64.2 million of cash contributions to equity method investments. Cash contributions to equity method investments were primarily related to Fund VII, COF III, Franklin Fund, EPF I, AESI, ACSP, AION and EPF II. Cash distributions from equity method investments were primarily related to Fund VII, Fund VI, COF I, COF II, Vantium C, AESI and EPF II.

Net cash used in investing activities was $135.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which was primarily comprised of $99.2 million relating to the acquisition of Stone Tower, $82.0 million of cash distributions received from equity method investments primarily offset by $109.1 million of cash contributions to equity method investments. Cash contributions to equity method investments were primarily related to Fund VII, AINV and EPF II. Cash distributions from equity method investments were primarily related to Fund VII, COF I, COF II, EPF I and ACLF.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $823.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was primarily comprised of $2,095.7 million of debt issued by consolidated VIEs and $489.3 million of contributions from Non-Controlling Interest in consolidated VIEs offset by $139.1 million of distributions paid by consolidated VIEs, $1,850.4 million in repayment of debt held by consolidated VIEs, $744.2 million of distributions paid to Non-Controlling Interests in the Apollo Operating Group, $83.9 million of distributions paid to Non-Controlling Interests in consolidated VIEs, $428.6 million in distributions paid, $62.3 million related to the purchase of AAA units, and $80.7 million related to employee tax withholding payments in connection with deliveries of Class A shares in settlement of RSUs.

Net cash used in financing activities was $317.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which was primarily comprised of $929.5 million of debt issued by consolidated VIEs offset by $433.6 million in repayment of debt held by consolidated VIEs, $239.0 million of distributions paid to Non-Controlling Interests in the Apollo Operating Group, $388.4 million of distributions paid to Non-Controlling Interests in consolidated VIEs, $265.1 million of contributions from Non-Controlling Interests in consolidated VIEs, $127.6 million in distributions paid, $100.0 million related to the purchase of AAA units, and $25.9 million related to employee tax withholding payments in connection with deliveries of Class A shares in settlement of RSUs.

Future Cash Flows

Our ability to execute our business strategy, particularly our ability to increase our AUM, depends on our ability to establish new funds and to raise additional investor capital within such funds. Our liquidity will depend on a number of factors, such as our ability to project our financial performance, which is highly dependent on our funds and our ability to manage our projected costs, fund performance, having access to credit facilities, being in compliance with existing credit agreements, as well as industry and market trends. Also during economic downturns the funds we manage might experience cash flow issues or liquidate entirely. In these situations we might be asked to reduce or eliminate the management fee and incentive fees we charge. As was the situation with AIE I, this could adversely impact our cash flow in the future.

For example, the investment performance of AIE I was adversely impacted due to market conditions in 2008 and early 2009, and on July 10, 2009, its shareholders subsequently approved a monetization plan. The primary objective of the monetization plan is to maximize shareholder recovery value by (i) opportunistically selling AIE I’s assets over a three-year period from July 2009 to July 2012 and (ii) reducing the overall costs of the fund. The Company waived management fees of $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 and an additional $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to limit the adverse impact that deteriorating market conditions were having on AIE I’s performance. AIE I management fees were terminated on August 23, 2012 as the fund received a majority vote from shareholders to approve the wind down resolution to terminate the management agreement. Management elected not to seek shareholder approval for a one-year extension and currently aims to wind up the fund in a quick and cost efficient manner. Management anticipates that all related corporate entities will be dissolved by the end of 2013 and a final distribution will be made to shareholders of remaining cash, if any, in the fourth quarter of 2013. However, there can be no assurances that this time frame will be met.

An increase in the fair value of our funds’ investments, by contrast, could favorably impact our liquidity through higher management fees where the management fees are calculated based on the net asset value, gross assets and adjusted assets. Additionally, higher carried interest income would generally result when investments appreciate over their cost basis which would not have an impact on the Company’s cash flow.

Athene

During 2009, Athene Holding Ltd. was founded to capitalize on favorable market conditions in the dislocated life insurance sector. Athene Holding Ltd. is the ultimate parent of various insurance company operating subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, Athene Holding Ltd. provides insurance products focused primarily on the retirement market and its business centers primarily on issuing or reinsuring fixed and equity indexed annuities.

Table of Contents

On December 21, 2012, Athene Holding Ltd. entered into an agreement with Aviva USA to acquire the U.S. annuity operations of Aviva USA. The transaction closed on October 2, 2013 and following the closing of the transaction, Athene is estimated to be one of the largest fixed annuity companies in the United States.

AAA Investments, through its subsidiaries, owns the majority of the economic equity in Athene Holding Ltd. During the fourth quarter of 2012, AAA and AAA Investments consummated a transaction whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAA Investments contributed substantially all of its investments to Athene Holding Ltd. in exchange for common shares of Athene Holding Ltd., cash and a short term promissory note (the “AAA Transaction”). Following receipt of required regulatory consents, AAA Investments transferred its remaining investments to Athene Holding Ltd. on July 29, 2013. After the AAA Transaction, Athene Holding Ltd. was AAA’s only material investment and as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, AAA, through its investment in AAA Investments, was the largest shareholder of Athene Holding Ltd. with an approximate 72.5% and 77.2%, respectively, economic ownership stake (without giving to effect to restricted common shares issued under Athene’s management equity plan and conversion of AAA Investments note receivable), and effectively 45% of the voting power of Athene. As of September 30, 2013, Apollo did not own any equity in Athene directly. Apollo owns approximately 2.7% of AAA as of September 30, 2013.

Apollo, through its consolidated subsidiary, Athene Asset Management LLC (“Athene Asset Management”), provides asset management services to Athene, including asset allocation and portfolio management strategies, and receives fees from Athene for providing such services. As of September 30, 2013, all of Athene’s assets were managed by Athene Asset Management. Athene Asset Management had $16.4 billion of total AUM as of September 30, 2013 in accounts owned by or related to Athene (the “Athene Accounts”), of which approximately $7.1 billion, or approximately 40%, was either sub-advised by Apollo or invested in Apollo funds and investment vehicles. Apollo expects this percentage to increase over time provided that it continues to perform successfully in providing asset management services to Athene. Pro forma for the acquisition of Aviva USA, Athene Asset Management would have had approximately $60 billion of total AUM in the Athene Accounts as of September 30, 2013. Pro forma for the acquisition of Aviva USA, the $7.1 billion of assets in the Athene Accounts that were sub-advised or invested in Apollo funds and investment vehicles, would have represented approximately 10% of Apollo’s AUM in the Athene Accounts at September 30, 2013. The vast majority of such assets are in sub-advisory managed accounts that manage high grade credit asset classes, such as CLO debt, commercial mortgage backed securities and insurance-linked securities. Accordingly, Apollo's pro forma AUM for the acquisition of Aviva USA, at September 30, 2013 would be approximately $157 billion, with more than $100 billion in its credit segment.

Athene Asset Management receives a gross management fee equal to 0.40% per annum on all AUM in the Athene Accounts, with certain limited exceptions. In addition, the Company receives sub-advisory fees with respect to a portion of the assets in the Athene Accounts.

In connection with the AAA Transaction, a subsidiary of AAA Investments contributed three Investment Partnerships to Athene. The Investment Partnerships pay a quarterly management fee and carried interest to Apollo with respect to the assets contributed in the AAA Transaction. The quarterly management fee is calculated and paid by the Investment Partnerships in arrears in an aggregate amount equal to one-fourth of (i) all Adjusted Assets up to and including $3 billion multiplied by 1.25% plus (ii) all Adjusted Assets in excess of $3 billion multiplied by 1.0%. “Adjusted Assets” means an amount equal to (i) the value of the gross assets of such Investment Partnership minus (ii) the sum of (w) the amount of any undistributed carried interest payable by such investment partnerships, (x) an amount equal to the value of the Temporary Investments (as defined in the relevant services agreement) held by such investment partnerships, (y) an amount equal to the Capital Invested in Apollo Funds (as defined in the relevant services agreement) by such Investment Partnerships and (z) an amount equal to the liquidity discount applied by the Company in respect of its investments in such Investment Partnerships (provided such liquidity discount may not exceed 22.5% of the value of the assets contributed by AAA). With respect to capital invested in an Apollo fund, Apollo receives management fees directly from the relevant funds under the investment management agreements with such funds and not pursuant to the services agreement with the Investment Partnerships.

In addition, carried interest is payable by the Investment Partnerships with respect to each investment or group of investments (as specified in the particular partnership agreement), at a rate of 20% of the profit of such investment or group of investments, subject to applicable hurdle rates. Each investment or group of investments is treated separately for the purposes of calculating carried interest. The contributed assets also included certain investments in funds managed by Apollo, carried interest on which is assessed at the fund level.

Under an amended services contract with Athene and Athene Life Re Ltd., effective February 6, 2013, Apollo earns a quarterly monitoring fee of 0.50% of Athene’s capital and surplus as of the end of the applicable quarter multiplied by 2.5, excluding the shares of Athene Holding Ltd. that were newly acquired (and not in satisfaction of prior commitments to buy such shares) by AAA Investments in the AAA Transaction (the “Excluded Athene Shares”), at the end of each quarter through

Table of Contents

December 31, 2014, the termination date. This quarterly monitoring fee is not applicable to the amount of invested capital attributable to the Excluded Athene Shares. All such monitoring fees are paid pursuant to a derivative contract between Athene and Apollo. Each quarter, monitoring fees earned are translated into an accrued notional number of shares of Athene Holding Ltd., and the accrued notional shares of Athene Holding Ltd. are valued based on fair value. At Athene’s option, all notional shares accrued pursuant to the terms of the derivative contract are payable either in shares of Athene Holding Ltd. or cash equal to the fair value of such shares of Athene Holding Ltd. at the time of settlement. Settlement occurs on the earlier of a change in control of Athene or October 31, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Apollo earned $22.2 million and $62.9 million, respectively, related to this monitoring fee, which is recorded in advisory and transaction fees from affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Apollo earned $3.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively, related to this monitoring fee, which is recorded in advisory and transaction fees from affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2013, Apollo had a $65.6 million receivable, which is accounted for as a derivative (as described above), recorded in due from affiliates on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Apollo earned in the aggregate $117.5 million and $224.1 million of management fees, sub-advisory fees, monitoring fees and carried interest income, respectively, from Athene, after considering the related profit sharing expense which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Apollo earned in the aggregate $26.2 million and $58.7 million of management fees, sub-advisory fees, monitoring fees and carried interest income, respectively, from Athene after considering the related profit sharing expense which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, as described below, Apollo also earned management fees under the amended services contract with AAA Service Agreement and carried interest income earned from AAA Investments investment in Athene Holding Ltd.

In accordance with the Amended AAA Service Agreement, Apollo receives a management fee for managing the assets of AAA Investments. In connection with the consummation of the AAA Transaction, on October 31, 2012, the services agreement was amended. Pursuant to the amendment, the parties agreed that there will be no management fees payable by AAA Investments with respect to the Excluded Athene Shares. AAA Investments will continue to pay Apollo the same management fee on its investment in Athene (other than with respect to the Excluded Athene Shares), except that Apollo agreed that AAA Investment’s obligation to pay the existing management fee shall terminate on December 31, 2014 (although services will continue through December 31, 2020). Apollo is entitled to receive a formulaic unwind of its management fee in the event that AAA makes a tender offer for all or substantially all of its outstanding units where the consideration is to be paid in shares of Athene Holding Ltd. (or if AAA accomplishes a similar transaction using an alternative structure that is no less favorable in all material respects to the AAA unitholders as a whole), up to a cap of $30.0 million if the tender offer or similar transaction commences in 2013, $25.0 million if the tender offer or similar transaction commences in 2014, $20.0 million if the tender offer or similar transaction commences in 2015 and zero if the tender offer or similar transaction commences in 2016 or thereafter. All such management fees are paid pursuant to a derivative contract between the AAA Investments and Apollo. Each quarter, management fees earned are translated into an accrued notional number of shares of Athene Holding Ltd., and the accrued notional shares of Athene Holding Ltd. are valued based on fair value. At the option of AAA Investments, all notional shares accrued pursuant to the terms of the derivative contract are payable either in shares of Athene Holding Ltd. or cash equal to the fair value of such shares of Athene Holding Ltd. at the time of settlement. Settlement occurs on the earlier of a change of control of Athene or October 31, 2017. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Apollo had a receivable of $10.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to the amended services agreement among AAA, AAA Investments and the other service recipients party thereto and Apollo, which is recorded in due from affiliates on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The total management fees earned by Apollo, related to this amended services agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, were $3.4 million (of which $0.5 million related to the derivative component, as described below) and $9.0 million (of which $1.7 million related to the derivative component, as described above), respectively, which is recorded in management fees from affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The total management fees earned by Apollo related to this amended services agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, were $4.3 million and $13.1 million, respectively, which is recorded in management fees from affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

$7.5 million, respectively, from AAA Investments, after considering the related profit sharing expense which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had an $80.3 million and a $69.0 million receivable, respectively, related to AAA Investments. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had a related profit sharing payable of $36.9 million and $33.1 million, respectively, recorded in profit sharing payable in the condensed consolidated statements of condition.

The amended services contract with Athene and Athene Life Re Ltd and the Amended AAA Service Agreement together with related derivative contracts issued pursuant to the amended contracts meet the definition of a derivative under U.S. GAAP. The Company has classified these derivatives as Level III assets in the fair value hierarchy, as the pricing inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation. The value of these derivatives is determined by multiplying the Athene share equivalents by the estimated price per share of Athene.

The change in market value of these derivatives is reflected in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, there was $2.9 million and $3.2 million of changes in market value recognized related to these derivatives.

On April 20, 2010, the Company announced that it entered into a strategic relationship agreement with CalPERS. The strategic relationship agreement provides that Apollo will reduce fees charged to CalPERS on funds it manages, or in the future will manage, solely for CalPERS by $125 million over a five-year period or as close a period as required to provide CalPERS with that benefit. The agreement further provides that Apollo will not use a placement agent in connection with securing any future capital commitments from CalPERS. Through September 30, 2013, the Company has reduced fees charged to CalPERS on the funds it manages by approximately $80.6 million.

The Company granted approximately 0.6 million RSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The average estimated fair value per share on the grant date was $20.25 per RSU with a total fair value of the grants of $12.8 million at September 30, 2013. This will impact the Company’s compensation expense as these grants are amortized over their vesting term of three to six years. The Company expects to incur annual compensation expenses on all grants, net of forfeitures, of approximately $14.0 million, $38.9 million, $23.5 million, $10.6 million, $5.0 million, $3.2 million and $0.3 during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and thereafter, respectively.

Although we expect to pay distributions according to our distribution policy, we may not pay distributions according to our policy, or at all, if, among other things, we do not have the cash necessary to pay the intended distributions. To the extent we do not have cash on hand sufficient to pay distributions, we may have to borrow funds to pay distributions, or we may determine not to pay distributions. The declaration, payment and determination of the amount of our quarterly distributions are at the sole discretion of our manager.

Carried interest income from our funds can be distributed to us on a current basis, but is subject to repayment by the subsidiaries of the Apollo Operating Group that act as general partner of such funds in the event that certain specified return thresholds are not ultimately achieved. The Managing Partners, Contributing Partners and certain other investment professionals have personally guaranteed, to the extent of their ownership interest, subject to certain limitations, the obligations of these subsidiaries in respect of this general partner obligation. Such guarantees are several and not joint and are limited to a particular Managing Partner’s or Contributing Partner’s distributions. Pursuant to the shareholders agreement dated July 13, 2007 (the "Shareholders Agreement”), we agreed to indemnify each of our Managing Partners and certain Contributing Partners against all amounts that they pay pursuant to any of these personal guarantees in favor of Fund IV, Fund V and Fund VI (including costs and expenses related to investigating the basis for or objecting to any claims made in respect of the guarantees) for all interests that our Managing Partners and Contributing Partners have contributed or sold to the Apollo Operating Group.

Accordingly, in the event that our Managing Partners, Contributing Partners and certain investment professionals are required to pay amounts in connection with a general partner obligation for the return of previously distributed carried interest income with respect to Fund IV, Fund V and Fund VI, we will be obligated to reimburse our Managing Partners and certain Contributing Partners for the indemnifiable percentage of amounts that they are required to pay even though we did not receive the distribution to which that general partner obligation related.

On July 9, 2013, the Company issued 89,328 Class A shares in settlement of vested RSUs. This issuance did not cause a material change to the Company’s ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group.

On August 12, 2013, the Company issued 1,886,043 Class A shares in settlement of vested RSUs. This issuance caused the Company's ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group to increase from 38.0% to 38.3%.

On August 29, 2013, the Company issued 2,392 Class A shares in settlement of share options. This issuance did not cause a material change to the Company’s ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group.

On November 7, 2013, the Company declared a cash distribution of $1.01 per Class A share, which will be paid on November 29, 2013 to holders of record on November 22, 2013.

Distributions to Managing Partners and Contributing Partners

The three Managing Partners who became employees of Apollo on July 13, 2007 are each entitled to a $100,000 base salary. Additionally, our Managing Partners can receive other forms of compensation. Any additional consideration will be paid to them in their proportional ownership interest in Holdings. Additionally, 85% of any tax savings APO Corp. recognizes as a result of the tax receivable agreement will be paid to any exchanging or selling Managing Partners.

It should be noted that subsequent to the 2007 Reorganization, the Contributing Partners retained ownership interests in subsidiaries of the Apollo Operating Group. Therefore, any distributions that flow up to management or general partner entities in which the Contributing Partners retained ownership interests are shared pro rata with the Contributing Partners who have a direct interest in such entities prior to flowing up to the Apollo Operating Group. These distributions are considered compensation expense after the 2007 Reorganization.

The Contributing Partners are entitled to receive the following:


•	Profit Sharing—private equity carried interest income, from direct ownership of advisory entities. Any changes in fair value of the underlying fund investments would result in changes to Apollo Global Management, LLC’s profit sharing payable.

•

Net Management Fee Income—distributable cash determined by the general partner of each management company, from direct ownership of the management company entity. The Contributing Partners will continue to receive net management fee income payments based on the interests they retained in management companies directly. Such payments are treated as compensation expense after the 2007 Reorganization as described above.


•	Any additional consideration will be paid to them based on their proportional ownership interest in Holdings.


•	No base compensation is paid to the Contributing Partners from the Company, but they are entitled to a monthly draw.


•	Additionally, 85% of any tax savings APO Corp. recognizes as a result of the tax receivable agreement will be paid to any exchanging or selling Contributing Partner.

Potential Future Costs

We may make grants of RSUs or other equity-based awards to employees and independent directors that we appoint in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We also report segment information from our condensed consolidated statements of operations and include a supplemental performance measure, ENI,

- 135-

Table of Contents

for our private equity, credit and real estate segments. ENI represents segment income (loss) excluding the impact of non-cash charges related to RSUs granted in connection with the 2007 private placement and equity-based compensation expense comprising amortization of AOG Units, income taxes, amortization of intangibles associated with the 2007 Reorganization as well as acquisitions and Non-Controlling Interests excluding the remaining interest held by certain individuals who receive an allocation of income from certain of our credit management companies. In addition, segment data excludes the assets, liabilities and operating results of the Apollo funds and consolidated VIEs that are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. ENI is not a U.S. GAAP measure.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented in note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The following is a summary of our accounting policies that are affected most by judgments, estimates and assumptions.

Consolidation

Apollo consolidates those entities it controls through a majority voting interest or through other means, including those funds for which the general partner is presumed to have control (e.g., AAA and Apollo Senior Loan Fund). Apollo also consolidates entities that are VIEs for which Apollo is the primary beneficiary. Under the amended consolidation rules, an enterprise is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s business and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Certain of our subsidiaries hold equity interests in and/or receive fees qualifying as variable interests from the funds that the Company manages. The amended consolidation rules require an analysis to determine whether (a) an entity in which Apollo holds a variable interest is a VIE and (b) Apollo’s involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests (e.g., carried interest and management fees), would give it a controlling financial interest. When the VIE has qualified for the deferral of the amended consolidation rules in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the analysis is based on previous consolidation rules, which require an analysis to determine whether (a) an entity in which Apollo holds a variable interest is a VIE and (b) Apollo’s involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests (e.g., carried interest and management fees), would be expected to absorb a majority of the variability of the entity.

Under both guidelines, the determination of whether an entity in which Apollo holds a variable interest is a VIE requires judgments which include determining whether the equity investment at risk is sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, evaluating whether the equity holders, as a group, can make decisions that have a significant effect on the success of the entity, determining whether two or more parties’ equity interests should be aggregated, and determining whether the equity investors have proportionate voting rights to their obligations to absorb losses or rights to receive returns from an entity. Under both guidelines, Apollo determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion continuously. The consolidation analysis can generally be performed qualitatively. However, if it is not readily apparent whether Apollo is the primary beneficiary, a quantitative expected losses and expected residual returns calculation will be performed. Investments and redemptions (either by Apollo, affiliates of Apollo or third parties) or amendments to the governing documents of the respective entity may affect an entity’s status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary.

Apollo assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary and will consolidate or deconsolidate the entity accordingly. Performance of that assessment requires the exercise of judgment. Where the variable interests have qualified for the deferral, judgments are made in estimating cash flows in evaluating which member within the equity group absorbs a majority of the expected profits or losses of the VIE. Where the variable interests have not qualified for the deferral, judgments are made in determining whether a member in the equity group has a controlling financial interest including power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and rights to receive benefits or obligations to absorb losses that are potentially significant to the VIE. Under both guidelines, judgment is made in evaluating the nature of the relationships and activities of the parties involved in determining which party within a related-party group is most closely associated with a VIE. The use of these judgments has a material impact to certain components of Apollo’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Such amounts are recorded within appropriated partners’ capital as, in each case, the VIE’s note holders, not Apollo, will ultimately receive the benefits or absorb the losses associated with the VIE’s assets and liabilities.

Additional disclosures regarding VIEs are set forth in note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Intercompany transactions and balances, if any, have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

Carried Interest Income from Affiliates. We earn carried interest income from our funds as a result of such funds achieving specified performance criteria. Such carried interest income generally is earned based upon a fixed percentage of realized and unrealized gains of various funds after meeting any applicable hurdle rate or threshold minimum. Carried interest income from certain of the funds that we manage is subject to contingent repayment and is generally paid to us as particular investments made by the funds are realized. If, however, upon liquidation of a fund, the aggregate amount paid to us as carried interest exceeds the amount actually due to us based upon the aggregate performance of the fund, the excess (in certain cases net of taxes) is required to be returned by us to that fund. For a majority of our credit funds, once the annual carried interest income has been determined, there generally is no look-back to prior periods for a potential contingent repayment, however, carried interest income on certain other credit funds can be subject to contingent repayment at the end of the life of the fund. We have elected to adopt Method 2 from U.S. GAAP guidance applicable to accounting for management fees based on a formula, and under this method, we accrue carried interest income quarterly based on fair value of the underlying investments and separately assess if contingent repayment is necessary. The determination of carried interest income and contingent repayment considers both the terms of the respective partnership agreements and the current fair value of the underlying investments within the funds. Estimates and assumptions are made when determining the fair value of the underlying investments within the funds and could vary depending on the valuation methodology that is used. Refer to note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for disclosure of the amounts of carried interest income (loss) from affiliates that was generated from realized versus unrealized losses. See “Investments, at Fair Value” below for further discussion related to significant estimates and assumptions used for determining fair value of the underlying investments in our private equity, credit and real estate funds.

Management Fees from Affiliates. The management fees related to our private equity funds are generally based on a fixed percentage of the committed capital or invested capital. The corresponding fee calculations that consider committed capital or invested capital are both objective in nature and therefore do not require the use of significant estimates or assumptions. Management fees related to our credit funds, by contrast, can be based on net asset value, gross assets, adjusted cost of all unrealized portfolio investments, capital commitments, adjusted assets, or capital contributions, all as defined in the respective partnership agreements. The credit management fee calculations that consider net asset value, gross assets, adjusted cost of all unrealized portfolio investments and adjusted assets, are normally based on the terms of the respective partnership agreements and the current fair value of the underlying investments within the funds. Estimates and assumptions are made when determining the fair value of the underlying investments within the funds and could vary depending on the valuation methodology that is used. The management fees related to our real estate funds are generally based on a specific percentage of the funds’ stockholders’ equity or committed or net invested capital or the capital accounts of the limited partners. See “Investments, at Fair Value” below for further discussion related to significant estimates and assumptions used for determining fair value of the underlying investments in our private equity, credit and real estate funds.

Investments, at Fair Value

The Company follows U.S. GAAP attributable to fair value measurements, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. Investments at fair value represent investments of the consolidated funds, investments of the consolidated VIEs and certain financial instruments for which the fair value option was elected. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value are reflected as net gains (losses) from investment activities and net gains (losses) from investment activities of the consolidated variable interest entities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

- 137-

Table of Contents

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 where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

In cases where an investment or financial instrument measured and reported at fair value is transferred into or out of Level III of the fair value hierarchy, the Company accounts for the transfer as of the end of the reporting period.

Equity Method Investments. For investments in entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation, the Company uses the equity method of accounting, whereby the Company records its share of the underlying income or loss of such entities. Income (loss) from equity method investments is recognized as part of other income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and income (loss) on available-for-sale securities (from equity method investments) is recognized as part of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The carrying amounts of equity method investments are reflected in investments in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As the underlying entities that the Company manages and invests in are, for U.S. GAAP purposes, primarily investment companies which reflect their investments at estimated fair value, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments in such entities are at fair value.

Private Equity Investments. The majority of the illiquid investments within our private equity funds are valued using the market approach, which provides an indication of fair value based on a comparison of the subject company to comparable publicly traded companies and transactions in the industry.

Market Approach. The market approach is driven by current market conditions, including actual trading levels of similar companies and, to the extent available, actual transaction data of similar companies. Judgment is required by management when assessing which companies are similar to the subject company being valued. Consideration may also be given to any of the following factors: (1) the subject company’s historical and projected financial data; (2) valuations given to comparable companies; (3) the size and scope of the subject company’s operations; (4) the subject company’s individual strengths and weaknesses; (5) expectations relating to the market’s receptivity to an offering of the subject company’s securities; (6) applicable restrictions on transfer; (7) industry and market information; (8) general economic and market conditions; and (9) other factors deemed relevant. Market approach valuation models typically employ a multiple that is based on one or more of the factors described above. Sources for gaining additional knowledge related to comparable companies include public filings, annual reports, analyst research reports, and press releases. Once a comparable company set is determined, we review certain aspects of the subject company’s performance and determine how its performance compares to the group and to certain individuals in the group. We compare certain measurements such as EBITDA margins, revenue growth over certain time periods, leverage ratios, and growth opportunities. In addition, we compare our entry multiple and its relation to the comparable set at the time of acquisition to understand its relation to the comparable set on each measurement date.

Income Approach. For investments where the market approach does not provide adequate fair value information, we rely on the income approach. The income approach is also used to value investments or validate the market approach within our

- 138-

Table of Contents

private equity funds. The income approach provides an indication of fair value based on the present value of cash flows that a business or security is expected to generate in the future. The most widely used methodology used in the income approach is a discounted cash flow method. Inherent in the discounted cash flow method are significant assumptions related to the subject company’s expected results and a calculated discount rate, which is normally based on the subject company’s weighted average cost of capital, or “WACC.” The WACC represents the required rate of return on total capitalization, which is comprised of a required rate of return on equity, plus the current tax-effected rate of return on debt, weighted by the relative percentages of equity and debt that are typical in the industry. The most critical step in determining the appropriate WACC for each subject company is to select companies that are comparable in nature to the subject company. Sources for gaining additional knowledge about the comparable companies include public filings, annual reports, analyst research reports, and press releases. The general formula then used for calculating the WACC considers the after-tax rate of return on debt capital and the rate of return on common equity capital, which further considers the risk-free rate of return, market beta, market risk premium and small stock premium, if applicable. The variables used in the WACC formula are inferred from the comparable market data obtained. The Company evaluates the comparable companies selected and concludes on WACC inputs based on the most comparable company or analyzes the range of data for the investment.

On a quarterly basis, Apollo utilizes a valuation committee consisting of members from senior management, to review and approve the valuation results related to our private equity investments. Management also retains independent valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services to Apollo, which consist of certain limited procedures that management identifies and requests them to perform. The limited procedures provided by the independent valuation firms assist management with validating their valuation results or determining fair value. The Company performs various back-testing procedures to validate their valuation approaches, including comparisons between expected and observed outcomes, forecast evaluations and variance analysis. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

Credit Investments. The majority of investments in Apollo’s credit funds are valued based on quoted market prices and valuation models. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value utilizing recognized pricing services, market participants or other sources. When market quotations are not available, a model based approach is used to determine fair value. The credit funds also enter into foreign currency exchange contracts, total return swap contracts, credit default swap contracts, and other derivative contracts, which may include options, caps, collars and floors. Foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. If securities are held at the end of this period, the changes in value are recorded in income as unrealized. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. Total return swap and credit default swap contracts are recorded at fair value as an asset or liability with changes in fair value recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized at the termination of the contract based on the difference between the close-out price of the total return or credit default swap contract and the original contract price.

Forward contracts are valued based on market rates obtained from counterparties or prices obtained from recognized financial data service providers. When determining fair value pricing when no observable market value exists, the value attributed to an investment is based on the enterprise value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation approaches used to estimate the fair value of illiquid investments included in Apollo’s credit investments also may include the market approach and the income approach, as previously described above. The valuation approaches used consider, as applicable, market risks, credit risks, counterparty risks and foreign currency risks.

On a quarterly basis, Apollo also utilizes a valuation committee, consisting of members from senior management, to review and approve the valuation results related to our credit investments. The Company also retains independent valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services to Apollo, which consist of certain limited procedures that management identifies and requests them to perform. The limited procedures provided by the independent valuation firms assist management with validating their valuation results or determining fair value. The Company performs various back-testing procedures to validate their valuation approaches, including comparisons between expected and observed outcomes, forecast evaluations and variance analysis.

Real Estate Investments. For the CMBS portfolio of Apollo’s funds, the estimated fair value of the AAA-rated CMBS portfolio is determined by reference to market prices provided by certain dealers who make a market in these financial instruments. Broker quotes are only indicative of fair value and may not necessarily represent what the funds would receive in an actual trade for the applicable instrument. Additionally, the loans held-for-investment are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of

deferred loan fees and costs. For Apollo’s opportunistic and value added real estate funds, valuations of non-marketable underlying investments are determined using methods that include, but are not limited to (i) discounted cash flow estimates or comparable analysis prepared internally, (ii) third party appraisals or valuations by qualified real estate appraisers, and (iii) contractual sales value of investments/properties subject to bona fide purchase contracts. Methods (i) and (ii) also incorporate consideration of the use of the income, cost, or sales comparison approaches of estimating property values.

On a quarterly basis, Apollo also utilizes a valuation committee, consisting of members from senior management, to review and approve the valuation results related to our real estate investments. The Company also retains independent valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services to Apollo, which consist of certain limited procedures that management identifies and requests them to perform. The limited procedures provided by the independent valuation firms assist management with validating their valuation results or determining fair value. The Company performs various back-testing procedures to validate their valuation approaches, including comparisons between expected and observed outcomes, forecast evaluations and variance analysis.

The fair values of the investments in our private equity, credit and real estate funds can be impacted by changes to the assumptions used in the underlying valuation models. For further discussion on the impact of changes to valuation assumptions refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Sensitivity” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013. There have been no material changes to the underlying valuation models during the periods that our financial results are presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

U.S. GAAP guidance requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Except for the Company’s debt obligation related to the AMH Credit Agreement (as defined in note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements), Apollo’s financial instruments are recorded at fair value or at amounts whose carrying value approximates fair value. See “—Investments, at Fair Value” above. While Apollo’s valuations of portfolio investments are based on assumptions that Apollo believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the actual realized gains or losses will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may ultimately differ significantly from the assumptions on which the valuations were based. Other financial instruments’ carrying values generally approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments or variable interest rates related to the borrowings. As disclosed in note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company’s long term debt obligation related to the AMH Credit Agreement is believed to have an estimated fair value of approximately $770.9 million based on a yield analysis using available market data of comparable securities with similar terms and remaining maturities as of September 30, 2013. However, the carrying value that is recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition is the amount for which we expect to settle the long term debt obligation. The Company has determined that the long term debt obligation related to the AMH Credit Agreement would be categorized as a Level III liability in the fair-value hierarchy.

Valuation of Financial Instruments Held by Consolidated VIEs

The consolidated VIEs also have debt obligations that are recorded at fair value. The primary valuation methodology used to determine fair value for debt obligation is market quotation. Prices are based on the average of the “bid” and “ask” prices. In the event that market quotations are not available, a model based approach is used. The valuation approach used to estimate the fair values of debt obligations for which market quotations are not available is the discounted cash flow method, which includes consideration of the cash flows of the debt obligation based on projected quarterly interest payments and quarterly amortization. Debt obligations are discounted based on the appropriate yield curve given the loan’s respective maturity and credit rating.

Table of Contents

Management uses its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors for determining the valuations of its debt obligations.

Fair Value Option. Apollo has elected the fair value option for the assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs. Such election is irrevocable and is applied to financial instruments on an individual basis at initial recognition. Apollo has applied the fair value option for certain corporate loans, other investments and debt obligations held by these entities that otherwise would not have been carried at fair value. For the convertible note issued by HFA, Apollo has elected to separately present interest income from other changes in the fair value of the convertible note within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Refer to notes 3 and 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further disclosure on the investment in HFA and financial instruments of the consolidated VIEs for which the fair value option has been elected.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Identifiable finite-life intangible assets, by contrast, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which are periodically re-evaluated for impairment or when circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred. Apollo amortizes its identifiable finite-life intangible assets using a method of amortization reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits of the finite-life intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up. If that pattern cannot be reliably determined, Apollo uses the straight-line method of amortization. At June 30, 2013, the Company performed its annual impairment testing and determined there was no impairment of goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets at such time.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits include salaries, bonuses and benefits, profit sharing expense and equity-based compensation.

Salaries, Bonus and Benefits. Salaries, bonus and benefits include base salaries, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses, severance and employee benefits. Bonuses are accrued over the related service period.

Also included within salaries, bonus and benefits is the expense related to profits interests issued to certain employees whereby they are entitled to a share in earnings of and any appreciation of the value in a subsidiary of the Company during their term of employment. The expense related to these profits interests is recognized ratably over the requisite service period and thereafter will be recognized at the time the distributions are determined.

The Company sponsors a 401(k) Savings Plan whereby U.S.-based employees are entitled to participate in the plan based upon satisfying certain eligibility requirements. The Company may provide discretionary contributions from time to time. No contributions relating to this plan were made by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Profit Sharing Expense. Profit sharing expense is primarily a result of agreements with our Contributing Partners and employees to compensate them based on the ownership interest they have in the general partners of the Apollo funds. Therefore, movements in the fair value of the underlying investments in the funds we manage and advise affect the profit sharing expense. As of September 30, 2013, our total private equity investments were approximately $24.0 billion. The Contributing Partners and employees are allocated approximately 30% to 50% of the total carried interest income which is driven primarily by changes in fair value of the underlying fund’s investments and is treated as compensation expense. Additionally, profit sharing expenses paid may be subject to clawback from employees, former employees and Contributing Partners to the extent not indemnified.

Changes in the fair value of the contingent obligations that were recognized in connection with certain Apollo acquisitions are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as profit sharing expense.

In June 2011, the Company adopted a performance based incentive arrangement for certain Apollo partners and employees designed to more closely align compensation on an annual basis with the overall realized performance of the Company. This arrangement, which we refer to herein as the Incentive Pool to enable certain partners and employees to earn discretionary compensation based on carried interest realizations earned by the Company in a given year, which amounts are reflected in profit sharing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Equity-Based Compensation. Equity-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires that the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is generally measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Equity-based awards that do not require future service (i.e., vested awards) are expensed

- 141-

Table of Contents

immediately. Equity-based employee awards that require future service are recognized over the relevant service period. Further, as required under U.S. GAAP, the Company estimates forfeitures using industry comparables or historical trends for equity-based awards that are not expected to vest. Apollo’s equity-based compensation awards consist of, or provide rights with respect to AOG Units, RSUs, share options, AAA RDUs, ARI restricted stock awards, ARI RSUs and AMTG RSUs. For more information regarding Apollo’s equity-based compensation awards, see note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s assumptions made to determine the fair value on grant date and the estimated forfeiture rate are embodied in the calculations of compensation expense.

Additionally, the value of the AOG Units have been reduced to reflect the transfer restrictions imposed on units issued to the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners as well as the lack of rights to participate in future Apollo Global Management, LLC equity offerings. These awards have the following characteristics:


•	Awards granted to the Managing Partners (i) are not permitted to be sold to any parties outside of the Apollo Global Management, LLC control group and transfer restrictions lapse pro rata during the forfeiture period over 60 or 72 months, and (ii) allow the Managing Partners to initiate a change in control.


•	Awards granted to the Contributing Partners (i) are not permitted to be sold or transferred to any parties except to the Apollo Global Management, LLC control group and (ii) the transfer restriction period lapses over six years (which is longer than the forfeiture period which lapses ratably over 60 months).

As noted above, the AOG Units issued to the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners have different restrictions which affect the liquidity of and the discounts applied to each grant.

We utilized the Finnerty Model to calculate a discount on the AOG Units granted to the Contributing Partners. The Finnerty Model provides for a valuation discount reflecting the holding period restriction embedded in a restricted security preventing its sale over a certain period of time. Along with the Finnerty Model we applied adjustments to account for the existence of liquidity clauses specific to the AOG Units granted to the Contributing Partners and a minority interest consideration as compared to the units sold in the Strategic Investors Transaction in 2007. The combination of these adjustments yielded a fair value estimate of the AOG Units granted to the Contributing Partners.

The Finnerty Model proposes to estimate a discount for lack of marketability such as transfer restrictions by using an option pricing theory. This model has gained recognition through its ability to address the magnitude of the discount by considering the volatility of a company’s stock price and the length of restriction. The concept underpinning the Finnerty Model is that a restricted security cannot be sold over a certain period of time. Further simplified, a restricted share of equity in a company can be viewed as having forfeited a put on the average price of the marketable equity over the restriction period (also known as an “Asian Put Option”). If we price an Asian Put Option and compare this value to that of the assumed fully marketable underlying security, we can effectively estimate the marketability discount.

The assumptions utilized in the model were (i) length of holding period, (ii) volatility, (iii) dividend yield and (iv) risk free rate. Our assumptions were as follows:


(i)	We assumed a maximum two year holding period.


(ii)	We concluded based on industry peers, that our volatility annualized would be approximately 40%.


(iii)	We assumed no distributions.


(iv)	We assumed a 4.88% risk free rate based on U.S. Treasuries with a two year maturity.

For the Contributing Partners’ grants, the Finnerty Model calculation, as detailed above, yielded a marketability discount of 25%. This marketability discount, along with adjustments to account for the existence of liquidity clauses and consideration of non-controlling interests as compared to units sold in the Strategic Investors Transaction in 2007, resulted in an overall discount for these grants of 29%.

We determined a 14% discount for the grants to the Managing Partners based on the equity value per share of $24. We determined that the value of the grants to the Managing Partners was supported by the 2007 sale of an identical security to Credit Suisse Management, LLC at $24 per share. Based on an equity value per share of $24, the implied discount for the grants to the Managing Partners was 14%. The Contributing Partners yielded a larger overall discount of 29%, as they are unable to cause a change in control of Apollo. This results in a lower fair value estimate, as their units have fewer beneficial features than those of the Managing Partners.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s material contractual obligations consisted of lease obligations, contractual commitments as part of the ongoing operations of the funds and debt obligations. Fixed and determinable payments due in connection with these obligations are as follows:



	Remaining 2013		2014		2015		2016		2017		Thereafter		Total
	(in thousands)
Operating lease obligations⁽¹⁾	$	9,196	$	37,470	$	36,628	$	35,583	$	33,046	$	75,500	$	227,423

(1)	The Company has entered into sublease agreements and is expected to contractually receive approximately $12.0

million over the remaining periods of 2013 and thereafter.


(2)	Includes (i) payments on management service agreements related to certain assets and (ii) payments with respect to certain consulting agreements entered into by the Company. Note that a significant portion of these costs are reimbursable by funds.


(3)	$723.3 million ($995.0 million portion less amount repurchased) of the outstanding AMH loan matures in January 2017 and the remaining $5.0 million portion of the loan matures in April 2014. Amounts represent estimated interest payments until the loan matures using an estimated weighted average annual interest rate of 4.02%.


Note:	Due to the fact that the timing of certain amounts to be paid cannot be determined or for other reasons discussed below, the following contractual commitments have not been presented in the table above.

(i)

As noted previously, we have entered into a tax receivable agreement with our Managing Partners and Contributing Partners which requires us to pay to our Managing Partners and Contributing Partners 85% of any tax savings received by APO Corp. from our step-up in tax basis. The tax savings achieved may not ensure that we have sufficient cash available to pay this liability and we might be required to incur additional debt to satisfy this liability.


(ii)	Debt amounts related to the consolidated VIEs are not presented in the table above as the Company is not a guarantor of these non-recourse liabilities.

Commitments

Certain of our management companies and general partners are committed to contribute to the funds and affiliates. While a small percentage of these amounts are funded by us, the majority of these amounts have historically been funded by our affiliates, including certain of our employees and certain Apollo funds. The table below presents the commitment and remaining commitment amounts of Apollo and its affiliates, the percentage of total fund commitments of Apollo and its affiliates, the commitment and remaining commitment amounts of Apollo only (excluding affiliates), and the percentage of total fund commitments of Apollo only (excluding affiliates) for each private equity fund, each credit fund and each real estate fund as of September 30, 2013 as follows ($ in millions):

(1)

As of September 30, 2013, Palmetto had commitments and remaining commitment amounts in Fund VII of $110.0 million and $26.4 million, respectively, ANRP of $150.0 million and $106.4 million, respectively, Apollo/Palmetto Loan Portfolio, L.P. of $300.0 million and $85.0 million, respectively, Apollo/Palmetto Short-Maturity Loan Portfolio, L.P. of $200.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, AGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund, L.P. of $300 million and $214.5 million, respectively, EPF I of $143.3 million and $20.5 million, respectively, and EPF II of $75.0 million and $61.5 million, respectively.


(2)	As of September 30, 2013, Apollo had an immaterial amount of remaining commitments in Fund IV and Fund V. Accordingly, presentation of such remaining commitments was not deemed meaningful for inclusion in the table above.


(3)	Apollo’s commitment in these funds is denominated in Euros and translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of €1.00 to $1.35 as of September 30, 2013

(4)	Of the total commitment amount in EPF I, AAA Investments (Other), L.P., SOMA and Palmetto have approximately €54.5 million, €75.0 million and €106.0 million, respectively.


(5)	Of the total remaining commitment amount in EPF I, AAA Investments (Other), L.P., SOMA and Palmetto have approximately €7.8 million, €10.7 million and €15.1 million, respectively.


(6)	Apollo and affiliated investors must maintain an aggregate capital balance in an amount not less than 1% of total capital account balances of the partnership. As of September 30, 2013, Apollo and affiliated investors’ capital balances exceeded the 1% requirement and therefore they are not required to fund a capital commitment.


(7)	As of September 30, 2013, SOMA had commitments and remaining commitment amounts in COF I of $250.0 million and $202.0 million, respectively.


(8)	As of September 30, 2013, the general partner of ACLF Co-Invest, a co-investment vehicle that invests alongside ACLF, had committed an immaterial amount to ACLF Co-Invest. Accordingly, presentation of such commitment was not deemed meaningful for inclusion in the table above.


(9)	As of September 30, 2013, commitments in Palmetto also included commitments related to Apollo Palmetto Athene Partnership, L.P.


(10)	Apollo’s commitment in these investments is denominated in pound sterling and translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of £1.00 to $1.62 as of September 30, 2013.


(11)	The final commitment amount has not been determined therefore the % of total fund commitments is not meaningful.

As a limited partner, the general partner and manager of the Apollo private equity, credit and real estate funds, Apollo has unfunded capital commitments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $555.9 million and $258.3 million, respectively.

On December 21, 2012, the Company agreed to provide up to $100 million of capital support to Athene to the extent such support is necessary in connection with Athene’s pending acquisition of Aviva plc’s annuity and life insurance operations in the United States. As of September 30, 2013, no capital support had been provided by the Company to Athene in connection with this commitment. On October 2, 2013, the commitment to provide capital support expired due to the close of Athene's acquisition of Aviva USA.

On April 30, 2013, Athene entered into a definitive agreement to sell Presidential Life Insurance Company—USA (“PLIC USA”) to Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Atlantic Financial Group and a Massachusetts-domiciled insurance and reinsurance company that is rated “A-(stable)” by AM Best, and to reinsure Aviva USA Corporation’s life insurance business to PLIC USA.

On October 2, 2013, Athene Holding Ltd. completed the acquisition of the U.S. annuity operations of Aviva USA, an Iowa corporation, which markets and sells a variety of fixed annuity and life insurance products in the U.S. through its wholly owned subsidiaries Aviva Life and Annuity Company, an Iowa-domiciled stock life insurance company, and Aviva Life and Annuity Company of New York, a New York-domiciled stock life insurance company.

The AMH Credit Agreement, which provides for a variable-rate term loan, will have future impacts on our cash uses. Borrowings under the AMH Credit Agreement originally accrued interest at a rate of (i) LIBOR loans (LIBOR plus 1.25%), or (ii) base rate loans (base rate plus 0.50%). The Company had hedged $167 million of the variable-rate loan with fixed rate swaps to minimize our interest rate risk as of December 31, 2011 which expired in May 2012. The loan originally had a maturity date of April 20, 2014.

required to purchase from each lender that elected to extend the maturity date of its term loan a portion of such extended term loan equal to 20% thereof. In addition, AMH or an affiliate is required to repurchase at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the term loan by December 31, 2014 and at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the term loan (inclusive of the previously purchased $50.0 million) by December 31, 2015 at a price equal to par plus accrued interest. The sweep leverage ratio was also extended to end at the new loan term maturity date. The interest rate for the highest applicable margin for the loan portion extended changed to LIBOR plus 4.25% and ABR plus 3.25%. On December 20, 2010, an affiliate of AMH that is a guarantor under the AMH Credit Agreement repurchased approximately $180.8 million of the term loan in connection with the extension of the maturity date of such loan and thus the AMH Credit Agreement (excluding the portions held by AMH affiliates) had a remaining balance of $728.3 million. The Company determined that the amendments to the AMH Credit Agreement resulted in a debt extinguishment which did not result in any gain or loss.

The interest rate on the $723.3 million, net ($995.0 million portion less amount repurchased by the Company) of the loan at September 30, 2013 was 4.02% and the interest rate on the remaining $5.0 million portion of the loan at September 30, 2013 was 1.27%. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt obligation related to the AMH Credit Agreement is believed to be approximately $770.9 million based on a yield analysis using available market data of comparable securities with similar terms and remaining maturities. The $728.3 million carrying value of debt that is recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition at September 30, 2013 is the amount for which the Company expects to settle the AMH Credit Agreement. Interest expense related to the AMH Credit Agreement incurred by the Company was $7.4 millions and $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $22.1 million and $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In accordance with the Shareholders Agreement and the above credit agreement with Fund VI, we have indemnified the Managing Partners and certain Contributing Partners (at varying percentages) for any carried interest income distributed from Fund IV, Fund V and Fund VI that is subject to contingent repayment by the general partner. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had not recorded an obligation for any previously made distributions.

Contingent Obligations—Carried interest income in private equity and certain credit and real estate funds is subject to reversal in the event of future losses to the extent of the cumulative carried interest recognized in income to date. If all of the existing investments became worthless, the amount of cumulative revenues that has been recognized by Apollo through September 30, 2013 and that would be reversed approximates $4.7 billion. Management views the possibility of all of the investments becoming worthless as remote. Carried interest income is affected by changes in the fair values of the underlying investments in the funds that Apollo manages. Valuations, on an unrealized basis, can be significantly affected by a variety of external factors including, but not limited to, bond yields and industry trading multiples. Movements in these items can affect valuations quarter to quarter even if the underlying business fundamentals remain stable. The table below indicates the potential future reversal of carried interest income:

Real Estate Funds:
CPI Funds	6,544
AGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund, L.P.	1,430
Total Real Estate Funds	7,974
Total	$	4,661,583

Additionally, at the end of the life of certain funds that the Company manages, there could be a payment due to a fund by the Company if the Company as general partner has received more carried interest income than was ultimately earned. The general partner obligation amount, if any, will depend on final realized values of investments at the end of the life of each fund. As discussed in note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

AGS, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, provides underwriting commitments in connection with security offerings to the portfolio companies of the funds we manage. As of September 30, 2013, there were no underwriting commitments outstanding related to such offerings.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the acquisition of Stone Tower in April 2012, the Company agreed to pay the former owners of Stone Tower a specified percentage of any future carried interest income earned from certain of the Stone Tower funds, CLOs, and strategic investment accounts. This contingent consideration liability had an acquisition date fair value of $117.7 million, which was determined based on the present value of estimated future carried interest payments, and is recorded in profit sharing payable in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The fair value of the contingent obligation was $113.2 million and $126.9 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

$14.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which was recorded in profit sharing payable in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

In connection with the acquisition of CPI on November 12, 2010, Apollo had a contingent liability to Citigroup Inc. based on a specified percentage of future earnings from the CPI business. From the date of acquisition through December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of the contingent liability was $1.2 million, which was determined based on discounted cash flows from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2012 using a discount rate of 7%. On March 28, 2013, Apollo satisfied the contingent liability in cash in the amount of approximately $0.5 million, which equaled 25% of the net realized after tax profit from the closing date through December 31, 2012. The satisfaction of the liability resulted in the Company recognizing $0.7 million of other income, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. No remaining contingency exists at September 30, 2013.

The Company has determined that the contingent consideration obligations are categorized as a Level III liability in the fair value hierarchy as the pricing inputs used to determine fair value require significant management judgment and estimation.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as investment manager and general partner for our funds and the sensitivity to movements in the fair value of their investments and resulting impact on carried interest income and management fee revenues. Our direct investments in the funds also expose us to market risk whereby movements in the fair values of the underlying investments will increase or decrease both net gains (losses) from investment activities and income (loss) from equity method investments. For a discussion of the impact of market risk factors on our financial instruments refer to “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies—Investments, at Fair Value.”

The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities of our funds may fluctuate in response to changes in the value of investments, foreign exchange, commodities and interest rates. The net effect of these fair value changes impacts the gains and losses from investments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. However, the majority of these fair value changes are absorbed by the Non-Controlling Interests.

The Company is subject to a concentration risk related to the investors in its funds. Although there are more than approximately 1,000 limited partner investors in Apollo’s active private equity, credit and real estate funds, no individual investor accounts for more than 10% of the total committed capital to Apollo’s active funds.

Risks are analyzed across funds from the “bottom up” and from the “top down” with a particular focus on asymmetric risk. We gather and analyze data, monitor investments and markets in detail, and constantly strive to better quantify, qualify and circumscribe relevant risks.

Each segment runs its own investment and risk management process subject to our overall risk tolerance and philosophy:


•	The investment process of our private equity funds involves a detailed analysis of potential acquisitions, and investment management teams assigned to monitor the strategic development, financing and capital deployment decisions of each portfolio investment.


•	Our credit funds continuously monitor a variety of markets for attractive trading opportunities, applying a number of traditional and customized risk management metrics to analyze risk related to specific assets or portfolios, as well as, fund-wide risks.

Impact on Management Fees—Our management fees are based on one of the following:


•	capital commitments to an Apollo fund;


•	capital invested in an Apollo fund;


•	the gross, net or adjusted asset value of an Apollo fund, as defined; or


•	as otherwise defined in the respective agreements.

Management fees could be impacted by changes in market risk factors and management could consider an investment permanently impaired as a result of (i) such market risk factors cause changes in invested capital or in market values to below cost, in the case of our private equity funds and certain credit funds, or (ii) such market risk factors causing changes in gross or net asset value, for the credit funds. The proportion of our management fees that are based on NAV is dependent on the number and types of our funds in existence and the current stage of each fund’s life cycle.

Impact on Advisory and Transaction Fees—We earn transaction fees relating to the negotiation of private equity, credit and real estate transactions and may obtain reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Subsequently, on a quarterly or annual basis, ongoing advisory fees, and additional transaction fees in connection with additional purchases, dispositions, or follow-on transactions, may be earned. Management Fee Offsets and any broken deal costs are reflected as a reduction to advisory and transaction fees from affiliates. Advisory and transaction fees will be impacted by changes in market risk factors to the extent that they limit our opportunities to engage in private equity, credit and real estate transactions or impair our ability to consummate such transactions. The impact of changes in market risk factors on advisory and transaction fees is not readily predicted or estimated.

- 149-

Table of Contents

Impact on Carried Interest Income—We earn carried interest income from our funds as a result of such funds achieving specified performance criteria. Our carried interest income will be impacted by changes in market risk factors. However, several major factors will influence the degree of impact:


•	the performance criteria for each individual fund in relation to how that fund’s results of operations are impacted by changes in market risk factors;


•	whether such performance criteria are annual or over the life of the fund;


•	to the extent applicable, the previous performance of each fund in relation to its performance criteria; and


•	whether each funds’ carried interest income is subject to contingent repayment.

As a result, the impact of changes in market risk factors on carried interest income will vary widely from fund to fund. The impact is heavily dependent on the prior and future performance of each fund, and therefore is not readily predicted or estimated.

Market Risk—We are directly and indirectly affected by changes in market conditions. Market risk generally represents the risk that values of assets and liabilities or revenues and expenses will be adversely affected by changes in market conditions. Market risk is inherent in each of our investments and activities, including equity investments, loans, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, hedging instruments, credit default swaps, and derivatives. Just a few of the market conditions that may shift from time to time, thereby exposing us to market risk, include fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates, equity prices, changes in the implied volatility of interest rates and price deterioration. For example, subsequent to the second quarter of 2007, debt capital markets around the world began to experience significant dislocation, severely limiting the availability of new credit to facilitate new traditional buyouts, and the markets remain volatile. Volatility in debt and equity markets can impact our pace of capital deployment, the timing of receipt of transaction fee revenues, and the timing of realizations. These market conditions could have an impact on the value of investments and our rates of return. Accordingly, depending on the instruments or activities impacted, market risks can have wide ranging, complex adverse affects on our results from operations and our overall financial condition. We monitor our market risk using certain strategies and methodologies which management evaluates periodically for appropriateness. We intend to continue to monitor this risk going forward and continue to monitor our exposure to all market factors.

Interest Rate Risk—Interest rate risk represents exposure we have to instruments whose values vary with the change in interest rates. These instruments include, but are not limited to, loans, borrowings and derivative instruments. We may seek to mitigate risks associated with the exposures by taking offsetting positions in derivative contracts. Hedging instruments allow us to seek to mitigate risks by reducing the effect of movements in the level of interest rates, changes in the shape of the yield curve, as well as, changes in interest rate volatility. Hedging instruments used to mitigate these risks may include related derivatives such as options, futures and swaps.

Credit Risk—Certain of our funds are subject to certain inherent risks through their investments.

Certain of our entities invest substantially all of their excess cash in open-end money market funds and money market demand accounts, which are included in cash and cash equivalents. The money market funds invest primarily in government securities and other short-term, highly liquid instruments with a low risk of loss. We continually monitor the funds’ performance in order to manage any risk associated with these investments.

Certain of our entities hold derivative instruments that contain an element of risk in the event that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. We seek to minimize our risk exposure by limiting the counterparties with which we enter into contracts to banks and investment banks who meet established credit and capital guidelines. We do not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and therefore do not expect to incur any loss due to counterparty default.

Foreign Exchange Risk—Foreign exchange risk represents exposures we have to changes in the values of current holdings and future cash flows denominated in other currencies and investments in non-U.S. companies. The types of investments exposed to this risk include investments in foreign subsidiaries, foreign currency-denominated loans, foreign currency-denominated transactions, and various foreign exchange derivative instruments whose values fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates or foreign interest rates. Instruments used to mitigate this risk are foreign exchange options, currency swaps, futures and forwards. These instruments may be used to help insulate us against losses that may arise due to volatile movements in foreign exchange rates and/or interest rates.

Non-U.S. Operations—We conduct business throughout the world and are continuing to expand into foreign markets. We currently have offices outside the U.S. in London, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Mumbai, Hong Kong and Singapore, and have been strategically growing our international presence. Our investments and revenues are primarily derived from our U.S. operations.

Table of Contents

With respect to our non-U.S. operations, we are subject to risk of loss from currency fluctuations, social instability, changes in governmental policies or policies of central banks, expropriation, nationalization, unfavorable political and diplomatic developments and changes in legislation relating to non-U.S. ownership. We also invest in the securities of corporations which are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions. As we continue to expand globally, we will continue to focus on monitoring and managing these risk factors as they relate to specific non-U.S. investments.


ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness 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 on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective at the reasonable assurance level to accomplish their objectives of ensuring that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) occurred during our most recent quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Litigation and Contingencies- Apollo is, from time to time, party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business including claims and litigations, reviews, investigations or proceedings by governmental and self regulatory agencies regarding its business.

filed replies on April 5, 2013. On December 5, 2012, plaintiffs filed another putative class action, captioned Frank v. Trilegiant Corp. (No. 12-cv-1721), in the District of Connecticut, naming the same defendants and containing allegations substantially similar to those in the CAC. On January 23, 2013, plaintiffs moved to transfer and consolidate Frank into In re: Trilegiant. On June 13, 2013, the Court extended all defendants’ deadlines to respond to the Frank complaint until 21 days after a ruling on the motion to transfer and consolidate. On July 24, 2013 the Frank court transferred the case to Judge Bryant, who is presiding over In re: Trilegiant, but the cases have not yet been consolidated. On September 25, 2013, the Court held oral argument on Defendants’ motions to dismiss. AGM believes that plaintiffs’ claims against it in these cases are without merit. For this reason, and because the claims against AGM are in their early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.

Various state attorneys general and federal and state agencies have initiated industry-wide investigations into the use of placement agents in connection with the solicitation of investments, particularly with respect to investments by public pension funds. Certain affiliates of Apollo have received subpoenas and other requests for information from various government regulatory agencies and investors in Apollo's funds, seeking information regarding the use of placement agents. CalPERS, one of our Strategic Investors, announced on October 14, 2009, that it had initiated a special review of placement agents and related issues. The Report of the CalPERS Special Review was issued on March 14, 2011. That report does not allege any wrongdoing on the part of Apollo or its affiliates. Apollo is continuing to cooperate with all such investigations and other reviews. In addition, on May 6, 2010, the California Attorney General filed a civil complaint against Alfred Villalobos and his company, Arvco Capital Research, LLC ("Arvco") (a placement agent that Apollo has used) and Federico Buenrostro Jr., the former CEO of CalPERS, alleging conduct in violation of certain California laws in connection with CalPERS's purchase of securities in various funds managed by Apollo and another asset manager. Apollo is not a party to the civil lawsuit and the lawsuit does not allege any misconduct on the part of Apollo. Likewise, on April 23, 2012, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit alleging securities fraud on the part of Arvco, as well as Messrs. Buenrostro and Villalobos, in connection with their activities concerning certain CalPERS investments in funds managed by Apollo. This lawsuit also does not allege wrongdoing on the part of Apollo, and in fact alleges that Apollo was defrauded by Arvco, Villalobos, and Buenrostro. Finally, on March 14, 2013, the United States Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against Messrs. Villalobos and Buenrostro alleging, among other crimes, fraud in connection with those same activities; again, Apollo is not accused of any wrongdoing and in fact is alleged to have been defrauded by the defendants. Additionally, on April 15, 2013, Mr. Villalobos, Arvco and related entities (the "Arvco Debtors") brought a civil action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada against Apollo. This action alleges that Arvco served as a placement agent for Apollo in connection with several funds associated with Apollo, and seek to recover purported fees they claim Apollo has not paid them for a portion of Arvco's placement agent services. In addition, the Arvco Debtors allege that Apollo has interfered with the Arvco Debtors' commercial relationships with third parties, purportedly causing the Arvco Debtors to lose business and to incur fees and expenses in the defense of various investigations and litigations. The Arvco Debtors also seek compensation from Apollo for these alleged lost profits and fees and expenses. The Arvco Debtors' complaint asserts various theories of recovery under the Bankruptcy Code and the common law. Apollo denies the merit of all of the Arvco Debtors' claims and will vigorously contest them. The Bankruptcy Court has stayed the civil action until April 2014. For these reasons, no estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.


ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. There have been no material changes to the risk factors for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.


ITEM 2.	UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

On July 9, 2013, August 12, 2013 and August 29, 2013, we issued 89,328, 1,886,043 and 2,392 Class A shares, net of taxes, to Apollo Management Holdings, L.P., respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,149,232, $52,846,925 and $62,957, respectively. The issuances were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in accordance with Section 4(2) and Rule 506 thereof, as transactions by the issuer not involving a public offering. We determined that the purchaser of Class A shares in the transactions, Apollo Management Holdings, L.P., was an accredited investor.

ITEM 5.	OTHER INFORMATION

Disclosure Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act

On October 24, 2013, certain investment funds managed by affiliates of Apollo beneficially owned approximately 22% of the limited liability company interests of CEVA Holdings, LLC (“CEVA”). Under the limited liability company agreement governing CEVA, certain investment funds managed by affiliates of Apollo hold a majority of the voting power of CEVA and have the right to elect a majority of the board of CEVA. CEVA may be deemed to be controlled by Apollo, but this statement is not meant to be an admission that control exists. As a result, it appears that we are required to provide disclosures as set forth below pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (“ITRA”) and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.

CEVA has provided Apollo with the information below relevant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act. The disclosure below does not relate to any activities conducted by Apollo and does not involve Apollo or its management. The disclosure relates solely to activities conducted by CEVA and its consolidated subsidiaries. Apollo has not independently verified or participated in the preparation of the disclosure below.

“Through an internal review of its global operations, CEVA has identified the following transactions in an Initial Notice of Voluntary Self-Disclosure that CEVA filed with the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) on October 28, 2013. CEVA’s review is ongoing. CEVA will file a further report with OFAC after completing its review.

The internal review indicates that, in December 2012, CEVA Freight Italy Srl (“CEVA Italy”) provided customs brokerage and freight forwarding services for the export to Iran of two measurement instruments to the Iranian Offshore Engineering Construction Company, a joint venture between two entities that are identified on OFAC’s list of Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN”). The revenues and net profits for these services were approximately $1,260.64 USD and $151.30 USD, respectively. In February 2013, CEVA Freight Holdings (Malaysia) SDN BHD (“CEVA Malaysia”) provided customs brokerage for export and local haulage services for a shipment of polyethylene resin to Iran shipped on a vessel owned and/or operated by HDS Lines, also an SDN. The revenues and net profits for these services were approximately $779.54 USD and $311.13 USD, respectively. In September 2013, CEVA Malaysia provided customs brokerage services for the import into Malaysia of fruit juice from Alifard Co. in Iran via HDS

Lines. The revenues and net profits for these services were approximately $227.41 USD and $89.29 USD, respectively.

These transactions violate the terms of internal CEVA compliance policies, which prohibit transactions involving Iran. Upon discovering these transactions, CEVA promptly launched an internal investigation, and is taking action to block and prevent such transactions in the future. CEVA intends to cooperate with OFAC in its review of this matter.”
