One Blue Owl

As part of our brand’s evolution, we have transitioned to one Blue Owl. In connection with this initiative, our legacy brands - Owl Rock, Dyal Capital and Oak Street - have been renamed to Credit, GP Strategic Capital and Real Estate investment platforms, respectively, including products within each of these investment platforms. The strategic shift to a unified brand reflects our long-term commitment to delivering the collective power of our investment capabilities to the market. As we emerge as one Blue Owl, our mission and the solutions we provide to our investors and users of our capital remain unchanged.

As of June 30, 2023, our AUM was $149.6 billion, which included $93.6 billion of FPAUM. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately 93% of our management fees were earned on AUM from Permanent Capital. As of June 30, 2023, we have $12.0 billion in AUM not yet paying fees, providing approximately $170 million of annualized management fees once deployed or upon the expiration of certain fee holidays. See “—Assets Under Management” for additional information, including important information on how we define these metrics.

Business Environment

Our business is impacted by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions in the U.S., and to a lesser extent, globally.

We believe that our management-fee centric business model and base of Permanent Capital contribute to the resiliency of our earnings and the strength of our business growth, including during periods of market uncertainty and volatility. During the second quarter of 2023, the persistence of elevated inflation, in conjunction with higher interest rates and slowing global gross domestic product growth, continued to weigh on industry deal activity. However, compared to the first quarter of 2023, announced global M&A and capital markets issuances increased.

During the quarter, 93% of our management fees were generated by Permanent Capital and the remainder from long-dated capital, with no meaningful pressure to our asset base from redemptions. As a result, fundraising and capital deployment contributed to continued management fee and earnings growth for Blue Owl. We also ended the second quarter of 2023 with substantial available capital to deploy, reporting $12.0 billion of AUM not yet paying fees.

As a number of legacy participants have remained on the sidelines in the broadly syndicated loan market, direct lenders continue to take market share, providing financing solutions to sponsors and companies at wider spreads and lower loan to value ratios on average. An increase in repayments over the prior quarter allowed us to redeploy capital into higher yielding opportunities, while rising interest rates continue to have a beneficial impact on our management fees as higher base rates continue to drive increased Part I Fees.

We continue to see attractive deployment opportunities for our GP Strategic Capital products, as capital needs across the private alternative asset management sector remain elevated.

Table of Contents

In Real Estate, industry valuations and transaction volumes remain under pressure due to a combination of rising interest rates, cost inflation, elevated vacancy rates and uncertainty around future capital availability. In contrast, our Real Estate business, focused on triple net lease, continued to deploy significant capital and identify opportunities to monetize assets at meaningful spreads to our entry points. Our investors continue to benefit from the inflation-mitigating characteristics of the net lease structure and ongoing 100% rent collection across the portfolio, and we are raising capital through various new products launched in 2022.

We are continuing to closely monitor developments related to the macroeconomic factors that have contributed to market volatility, and to assess the impact of these factors on financial markets and on our business. Our future results may be adversely affected by slowdowns in fundraising activity and the pace of capital deployment, which could result in delayed management fees. It is currently not possible to predict the ultimate effects of these events on the financial markets, overall economy and our Financial Statements. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Macroeconomic Factors” in our Annual Report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Difficult market and political conditions may reduce the value or hamper the performance of the investments made by our products or impair the ability of our products to raise or deploy capital” in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023.

Additionally, we intend to pursue strategic acquisitions and investments to accelerate our growth and broaden our product offerings. Our acquisition strategy is centered around driving additional scale or expanding capabilities that complement or augment our existing products.

Assets Under Management

We present information regarding our AUM, FPAUM and various other related metrics throughout this MD&A to provide context around our fee generating revenues results, as well as indicators of the potential for future earnings from existing and new products. Our calculations of AUM and FPAUM may differ from the calculation methodologies of other asset managers, and as a result these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. In addition, our calculation of AUM includes amounts that are fee exempt (i.e., not subject to fees).

As of June 30, 2023, assets under management related to us, our executives and other employees totaled approximately $3.4 billion (including $1.3 billion related to accrued carried interest). A portion of these assets under management are not charged fees.

Composition of Assets Under Management

Our AUM consists of FPAUM, AUM not yet paying fees, fee-exempt AUM and net appreciation and leverage in products on which fees are based on commitments or investment cost. AUM not yet paying fees generally relates to unfunded capital commitments (to the extent such commitments are not already subject to fees), undeployed debt (to the extent we earn fees based on total asset values or investment cost, inclusive of assets purchased using debt) and AUM that is subject to a temporary fee holiday. Fee-exempt AUM represents certain investments by us, our employees, other related parties and third parties, as well as certain co-investment vehicles on which we never earn fees.

Management uses AUM not yet paying fees as an indicator of management fees that will be coming online as we deploy existing assets in products that charge fees based on deployed and not uncalled capital, as well as AUM that is currently subject to a fee holiday that will expire in the future. AUM not yet paying fees could provide approximately $170 million of additional annualized management fees once deployed or upon the expiration of the relevant fee holidays.

Table of Contents

Permanency and Duration of Assets Under Management

Our capital base is heavily weighted toward Permanent Capital. We view the permanency and duration of the products that we manage as a differentiator in our industry and as a means of measuring the stability of our future revenues stream. The chart below presents the composition of our management fees by remaining product duration. Changes in these relative percentages will occur over time as the mix of products we offer changes. For example, our Real Estate products have a higher concentration in what we refer to as “long-dated” funds, or funds in which the contractual remaining life is five years or more, which in isolation may cause our percentage of management fees from Permanent Capital to decline.

Credit. Increase in AUM for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by the following:

•$2.2 billion new capital raised in diversified lending, primarily driven by private wealth fundraising in OCIC and a separately managed account.

•$1.0 billion new capital raised in technology lending, driven by continued fundraising in OTF II and OTIC.

•$1.7 billion of overall appreciation across the platform.

•$1.7 billion of additional net debt commitments primarily in diversified lending and technology lending strategies, as we continue to opportunistically manage leverage in our BDCs.

•$1.6 billion in distributions, which primarily relate to dividends paid from our BDCs. Redemptions from these products were not material during the first half of 2023.

GP Strategic Capital. Increase in AUM for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by the overall appreciation across all of our major products of $3.0 billion and new capital raised of $0.5 billion, primarily in our professional sports minority stakes strategy, partially offset by distributions in Blue Owl GP Stakes IV and Blue Owl GP Stakes III.

Real Estate. Increase in AUM for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by new capital raised of $2.7 billion across various products, primarily Blue Owl Real Estate Fund VI (“OREF VI”), our recently launched triple net-lease drawdown fund, Blue Owl Real Estate Net Lease Trust (“ORENT”), our recently launched real estate investment trust, and Blue Owl Real Estate Net Lease Property Fund (“ONLP”), overall appreciation across the platform of $0.8 billion and additional debt commitments of $0.7 billion, primarily related to ONLP, partially offset by distributions in ONLP and Blue Owl Real Estate Capital Fund V.

(1)The six months ended June 30, 2022, reflects a change in classification from fee basis step down to new capital raised / deployed for the fee holiday expiration in Blue Owl GP Stakes V of $2.1 billion on January 1, 2022.

Credit. Increase in FPAUM for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by a combination of continued fundraising and the overall appreciation across the platform, partially offset by distributions, which primarily related to dividends paid from our BDCs.

GP Strategic Capital. FPAUM for the six months ended June 30, 2023 remained relatively unchanged.

Real Estate. Increase in FPAUM for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven primarily by capital raised in OREF VI and ORENT, and deployed in OREF VI.

(1)Information presented in the AUM through Total Value columns for these vehicles is presented on a quarter lag due to these vehicles being public filers with the SEC and have not yet filed their quarterly information as of our filing date. Additional information related to these vehicles can be found in their filings with the SEC, which are not part of this report.

(2)For the purposes of calculating Gross IRR, the expense support provided to the fund would be impacted when assuming a performance excluding management fees (including Part I Fees) and Part II Fees, and therefore is not meaningful for OBDC II and OCIC.

(3)Blue Owl First Lien Fund is comprised of three feeder funds: Onshore Levered, Offshore Levered and Insurance Unlevered. The gross and net MoIC and IRR presented in the chart are for Onshore Levered and Insurance Unlevered as those are the largest of the levered and unlevered feeder funds. The gross and net MoIC for the Offshore Levered feeder fund is 1.31x and 1.23x, respectively. The gross and net IRR for the Offshore Levered feeder is 10.1% and 7.2%, respectively. All other values for Blue Owl First Lien Fund Levered are for Onshore Levered and Offshore Levered combined. AUM is presented as the aggregate of the three Blue Owl First Lien Fund feeders. Blue Owl First Lien Fund Unlevered Investor equity and note commitments are both treated as capital for all values.

(4)Includes reinvested dividends and share repurchases, if applicable.

(5)Invested capital includes capital calls, reinvested dividends and periodic investor closes, as applicable.

(6)Realized proceeds represent the sum of all cash distributions to investors.

(7)Unrealized value represents the product’s NAV. There can be no assurance that unrealized values will be realized at the valuations indicated.

(8)Gross MoIC is calculated by adding total realized proceeds and unrealized values of a product’s investments and dividing by the total amount of invested capital. Gross MoIC is calculated before giving effect to management fees (including Part I Fees) and Part II Fees, as applicable.

(9)Net MoIC measures the aggregate value generated by a product’s investments in absolute terms. Net MoIC is calculated by adding total realized proceeds and unrealized values of a product’s investments and dividing by the total amount of invested capital. Net MoIC is calculated after giving effect to management fees (including Part I Fees) and Part II Fees, as applicable, and all other expenses.

(10)Gross IRR is an annualized since inception gross internal rate of return of cash flows to and from the product and the product’s residual value at the end of the measurement period. Gross IRRs are calculated before giving effect to management fees (including Part I Fees) and Part II Fees, as applicable.

(11)Net IRRs are calculated consistent with gross IRRs, but after giving effect to management fees (including Part I Fees) and Part II Fees, as applicable, and all other expenses. An individual investor’s IRR may differ from the reported IRR based on the timing of capital transactions.

Revenues, Net

Management Fees. The increase in management fees was primarily driven by the drivers below. See Note 6 to our Financial Statements for additional details on our GAAP management fees by product and strategy.

•Credit increased $70.8 million due to continued fundraising and deployment of capital within new and existing Credit products, including an increase in Part I Fees of $45.3 million driven by higher interest rates.

•GP Strategic Capital increased $5.5 million, primarily driven by continued fundraising in Blue Owl GP Stakes V.

•Real Estate increased $11.2 million due to continued fundraising and deployment of capital within new and existing Real Estate products, primarily ONLP and ORENT.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits. Compensation and benefits expenses decreased primarily due to the following:

•$33.6 million decrease in equity-based compensation, reflecting a $41.2 million decrease in acquisition-related equity-based compensation primarily due to the settlement of the First Oak Street Earnout in January 2023, partially offset by an $8.2 million increase in our other recurring annual equity grants driven by the additional grants made during the fourth quarter of 2022 in connection with year-end bonus compensation.

•$9.6 million decrease in acquisition-related cash compensation, primarily due to the settlement of the First Oak Street Earnout in January 2023.

•$35.1 million offsetting increase driven by higher compensation to existing employees, as well as increased headcount due to our continued growth.

Table of Contents

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased primarily due to corporate actions taken during the first quarter of 2023, resulting in a change of the estimated useful lives of acquired trademarks. The remaining unamortized balances of the trademarks were expensed through June 30, 2023. See Note 3 to our Financial Statements for additional information.

General, Administrative and Other Expenses. General, administrative and other expenses decreased primarily due to the following:

•a favorable change of $8.7 million in expense support resulting from recoveries with certain products we manage.

•$6.8 million offsetting increase in occupancy costs driven by additional leased space to accommodate our continued growth. The remaining net change was across various categories, driven by our continued growth.

Other Income (Loss)

Change in TRA Liability. The change in the TRA liability was driven by the portion of the liability classified as contingent consideration, which amount is carried at fair value. The change in fair value was driven by a combination of a higher discount rate, as well as a change in the expected timing of future payments.

Change in Warrant Liability. The change in the warrant liability for the current period was driven by the increase in the price of our Class A Shares. The change in the warrant liability in the prior year period was driven by the increase in the price of our Public Warrants. In August 2022, the Public Warrants were redeemed. See Note 1 to our Financial Statements for additional information.

Income Tax Expense

The change in Income tax expense was due to pre-tax income in the current period as a result of the drivers discussed above. Please see Note 10 to our Financial Statements for a discussion of the significant tax differences that impacted our effective tax rate.

Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the current year primarily represents the allocation to Common Units of their pro rata share of the Blue Owl Operating Group’s post-Business Combination net income due to the drivers discussed above. The Common Units represent an approximately 68% and 70% weighted average economic interest in the Blue Owl Operating Group for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

•$19.6 million decrease in acquisition-related cash compensation, primarily due to the settlement of the First Oak Street Earnout in January 2023.

•$71.3 million offsetting increase driven by higher compensation to existing employees, as well as increased headcount due to our continued growth.

General, Administrative and Other Expenses. General, administrative and other expenses increased driven by the following:

•$11.1 million increase in distribution costs due to fundraising in our Credit products.

•$12.6 million increase in occupancy costs driven by additional leased space to accommodate our continued growth.

•an offsetting favorable change of $17.6 million in expense support resulting from recoveries with certain products we manage. The remaining net change was across various categories, driven by our continued growth.

Non-GAAP Analysis

In addition to presenting our results in accordance with GAAP, we present certain other financial measures that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these measures in budgeting and to assess the operating results of our business, and we believe that this information enhances the ability of stockholders to analyze our performance from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement and should be considered in addition to and not in lieu of our GAAP results, and such measures should not be considered as indicative of our liquidity. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Please see “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Fee-Related Earnings and Related Components

Fee-Related Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our core operating performance used to make operating decisions and assess our core operating results, focusing on whether our core revenue streams, primarily consisting of management fees, are sufficient to cover our core operating expenses. Management also reviews the components that comprise Fee-Related Earnings (i.e., FRE revenues and FRE expenses) on the same basis used to calculate Fee-Related Earnings, and such components are also non-GAAP measures and have been identified with the prefix “FRE” in the tables and discussion below.

Fee-Related Earnings exclude various items that are required for the presentation of our results under GAAP, including the following: noncontrolling interests in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships; equity-based compensation expense; compensation expenses related to capital contributions in certain subsidiary holding companies that are in-turn paid as compensation to certain employees, as such contributions are not included in Fee-Related Earnings or Distributable Earnings; amortization of acquisition-related earnouts; amortization of intangible assets; “Transaction Expenses” as defined below; expense support payments and subsequent reimbursements; net gains (losses) on investments, net losses on retirement of debt; interest; changes in TRA, warrant and earnout liabilities; and taxes. Transaction Expenses are expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination and other acquisitions and strategic transactions, including subsequent adjustments related to such transactions, that were not eligible to be netted against consideration or recognized as acquired assets and assumed liabilities in the relevant transactions. FRE revenues and FRE expenses also exclude realized performance income and related compensation expense, as well as revenues and expenses related to amounts reimbursed by our products, including administrative fees and dealer manager reallowed commissions, that have no impact to our bottom line operating results, and therefore FRE revenues and FRE expenses do not represent our total revenues or total expenses in any given period.

Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of operating performance that equals Fee-Related Earnings plus or minus, as relevant, realized performance income and related compensation, interest expense, net, as well as amounts payable for taxes and payments made pursuant to the TRA. Amounts payable for taxes presents the current income taxes payable, excluding the impact of tax contingency-related accrued expenses or benefits, as such amounts are included when paid or received, related to the respective period’s earnings, assuming that all Distributable Earnings were allocated to the Registrant, which would occur following the exchange of all Blue Owl Operating Group Units for Class A Shares. Current income taxes payable and payments made pursuant to the TRA reflect the benefit of tax deductions that are excluded when calculating Distributable Earnings (e.g., equity-based compensation expenses, Transaction Expenses, tax goodwill, etc.). If these tax deductions were to be excluded from amounts payable for taxes, Distributable Earnings would be lower and our effective tax rate would appear to be higher, even though a lower amount of income taxes would have been paid or payable for a period’s earnings. We make these adjustments when calculating Distributable Earnings to more accurately reflect the net realized earnings that are expected to be or become available for distribution or reinvestment into our business. Management believes that Distributable Earnings can be useful as a supplemental performance measure to our GAAP results assessing the amount of earnings available for distribution.

FRE Management Fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in FRE management fees was primarily driven by the drivers below:

•Credit increased due to continued fundraising and deployment of capital within new and existing Credit products, including higher Part I Fees due to higher interest rates as discussed above in “—GAAP Results of Operations Analysis.”

•GP Strategic Capital increased, primarily driven by continued fundraising in Blue Owl GP Stakes V.

•Real Estate increased due to continued fundraising and deployment of capital within new and existing Real Estate products, primarily ONLP and ORENT.

Table of Contents

FRE Administrative, Transaction and Other Fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the decrease in FRE administrative, transaction and other fees was driven primarily by a decrease in fee income earned for services provided to portfolio companies, reflecting a lower volume of transactions on which we earn such fees.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In applying many of these accounting principles, we make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the Financial Statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates, however, are subjective and subject to change, and actual results may differ materially from our current estimates due to the inherent nature of these estimates, including geopolitical, macro-environmental and other uncertainty. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our Financial Statements and the financial statements in our Annual Report.

Estimation of Fair Values

Investments Held by our Products

The fair value of the investments held by our products in our Credit and Real Estate platforms is the primary input to the calculation for the majority of our management fees. Management fees from our GP Strategic Capital and other Real Estate products are generally based on commitments or investment cost, so our management fees are generally not impacted by changes in the estimated fair values of investments held by these products. However, to the extent that management fees are calculated based on investment cost of the product’s investments, the amount of fees that we may charge will increase or decrease from the effect of changes in the cost basis of the product’s investments, including potential impairment losses. In the absence of observable market prices, we use valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis and assumptions that we believe market participants would use to determine the fair value of the investments. For investments where little market activity exists, the determination of fair value is based on the best information available, we incorporate our own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, and the consideration of a combination of internal and external factors.

Our products generally value their investments at fair value, as determined in good faith by each product’s respective board of directors or valuation committee, as applicable, based on, among other things, the input of third party valuation firms and taking into account the nature and realizable value of any collateral, an investee’s ability to make payments and its earnings, the markets in which the investee operates, comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flows, current market interest rates and other relevant factors. Because such valuations are inherently uncertain, the valuations may fluctuate significantly over time due to changes in market conditions. These valuations would, in turn, have corresponding proportionate impacts on the amount of management fees that we may earn from certain products on which revenues are based on the fair value of investments.

Table of Contents

TRA Liability

We carry a portion of our TRA liability at fair value, as it is contingent consideration related to the Dyal Acquisition (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements). The valuation of this portion of the TRA liability is mostly sensitive to our expectation of future cash savings that we may ultimately realize related to our tax goodwill and other intangible assets deductions. We then apply a discount rate that we believe is appropriate given the nature of and expected timing of payments of the liability. A decrease in the discount rate assumption would result in an increase in the fair value estimate of the liability, which would have a correspondingly negative impact on our GAAP results of operations. However, payments under the TRA are ultimately only made to the extent we realize the offsetting cash savings on our income taxes due to the tax goodwill and other intangibles deduction. See Note 9 to our Financial Statements for additional details.

Earnout Liability and Warrant Liability

The fair values of our earnout liability and warrant liability were determined using various significant unobservable inputs, including a discount rate and our best estimate of expected volatility and expected holding periods. Changes in the estimated fair values of these liabilities may have material impacts on our results of operations in any given period, as any increases in these liabilities have a corresponding negative impact on our GAAP results of operations. See Note 9 to our Financial Statements for additional details.

Equity-based Compensation

The grant-date fair values of our RSU and Incentive Unit (both defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements) grants, as well as the Wellfleet Earnouts are generally determined using our Class A Share price on the grant date, adjusted for the lack of dividend participation during the vesting period, and the application of a discount for lack of marketability on RSUs and Incentive Units that are subject to post-vesting transfer restrictions. The higher these discounts, the lower the compensation expense taken over time for these grants.

For the Oak Street Earnout Units that were classified as equity-based compensation for GAAP, we determines the grant date fair value using Monte Carlo simulations that had various significant unobservable inputs. The assumptions used have a material impact on the valuation of these grants, and include our best estimate of expected volatility, expected holding periods and appropriate discounts for lack of marketability. The higher the expected volatility, the higher the compensation expense taken for these grants. The higher the expected holding periods and discount for lack of marketability, the lower the compensation expense taken for these grants. See Note 8 to our Financial Statements and the financial statements in our Annual Report for additional details.

Deferred Tax Assets

Substantially all of our deferred tax assets relate to goodwill and other intangible assets deductible for tax purposes, as well as payments expected to be made under the TRA. In accordance with relevant tax rules, we expect to take substantially all of these goodwill and other intangible deductions over a 15-year period following the applicable transaction. To the extent we generate insufficient taxable income to take the full deduction in any given year, we will generate a net operating loss (“NOL”) that is available for us to use over an indefinite carryforward period in order to fully realize the deferred tax assets.

When evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, all evidence—both positive and negative—is considered. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, expectations regarding future earnings, future reversals of existing temporary tax differences and tax planning strategies. We did not take into account any tax planning strategies when arriving at this conclusion; however, the other assumptions underlying the taxable income estimates, are based on our near-term operating model. If we experience a significant decline in AUM for any extended time during the period for which these estimates relate and we do not otherwise experience offsetting growth rates in other periods, we may not generate taxable income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets and may need to record a valuation allowance. However, given the indefinite carryforward period available for NOLs and the conservative estimates used to prepare the taxable income projections, the sensitivity of our estimates and assumptions are not likely to have a material impact on our conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.

Table of Contents

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Our ongoing accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions when evaluating these assets for impairment. We generally undertake a qualitative review of factors that may indicate whether an impairment exists. We take into account factors such as the adverse impacts to FPAUM and management fees, general economic conditions, and various other factors that require judgement in deciding whether a quantitative analysis should be undertaken. Our evaluation for indicators of impairment may not capture a potential impairment, which could result in an overstatement of the carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets. We also estimate the useful lives of our finite-lived intangible assets for purposes of amortization. The useful lives are based on our judgment of the expected future economic benefits of the assets. Changes in estimated useful lives could result in significant changes to the amount of amortization expense recognized in future periods.

Variable Interest Entities

The determination of whether to consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under GAAP requires a significant amount of judgment concerning the degree of control over an entity by its holders of variable interests. To make these judgments, we conduct an analysis, on a case-by-case basis, of whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate an entity. We continually reconsider whether we should consolidate a VIE. Upon the occurrence of certain events, such as modifications to organizational documents and investment management agreements of our products, we will reconsider our conclusion regarding the status of an entity as a VIE. Our judgement when analyzing the status of an entity and whether we consolidate an entity could have a material impact on individual line items within our Financial Statements, as a change in our conclusion would have the effect of grossing up the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the entity being evaluated. In light of the relevantly insignificant direct and indirect investments into our products, the likelihood of a reasonable change in our estimation and judgement would likely not result in a change in our conclusions to consolidate or not consolidate any VIEs to which we have exposure.

Impact of Changes in Accounting on Recent and Future Trends

We believe that none of the changes to GAAP that went into effect during the six months ended June 30, 2023, or that have been issued but that we have not yet adopted, are expected to materially impact our future trends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We rely on management fees as the primary source of our operating liquidity. From time to time we may rely on the use of our Revolving Credit Facility between management fee collection dates, which generally occur on a quarterly basis. We may also rely on our Revolving Credit Facility for liquidity needed to fund acquisitions, which we may replace with longer-term financing, subject to market conditions.

We ended the second quarter of 2023 with $41.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $1.3 billion available under our Revolving Credit Facility. Based on management’s experience and our current level of liquidity and assets under management, we believe that our current liquidity position and cash generated from management fees will continue to be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital needs for at least the next 12 months.

Over the short and long term, we may use cash and cash equivalents, issue additional debt or equity securities, or may seek other sources of liquidity to:

•Grow our existing investment management business.

•Expand, or acquire, into businesses that are complementary to our existing investment management business or other strategic growth initiatives.

•Pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees.

•Repay debt obligations and interest thereon.

•Opportunistically repurchase Class A Shares on the open market, as well as pay withholding taxes on net settled, vested RSUs.

•Pay income taxes and amounts due under the TRA.

Table of Contents

•Pay dividends to holders of our Class A Shares, as well as make corresponding distributions to holders of Common Units at the Blue Owl Operating Group level.

•Fund debt and equity investment commitments to existing or future products.

Debt Obligations

As of June 30, 2023, our long-term debt obligations consisted of $59.8 million aggregate principal amount of 7.397% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”), $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”) and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2051 (the “2051 Notes”and collectively with the 2028 Notes, 2031 Notes and the 2032 Notes, the “Notes”). We also had $280.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2023, and as of the date of this filing, the balance was $55.0 million. We expect to use cash on hand to pay interest and principal due on our financing arrangements over time, which would reduce amounts available for dividends and distributions to our stockholders. We may choose to refinance all or a portion of any amounts outstanding on or prior to their respective maturity dates by issuing new debt, which could result in higher borrowing costs. We may also choose to repay borrowing by using proceeds from the issuance of equity or other securities, which would dilute stockholders. See Note 4 to our Financial Statements and the financial statements in our Annual Report for additional information regarding our debt obligations.

Management regularly reviews Adjusted EBITDA to assess our ability to service our debt obligations, and as such believes that such measure is meaningful to our investors. Adjusted EBITDA is equal to Distributable Earnings plus interest expense, net, taxes payable and TRA payments, and fixed assets depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that supplements and should be considered in addition to and not in lieu of our GAAP results, and such measure should not be considered as indicative of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measured used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA was $247.2 million and $475.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Please see “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Tax Receivable Agreement

As discussed in Note 11 to our Financial Statements, we may in the future be required to make payments under the TRA. As of June 30, 2023, assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law and that we generate sufficient taxable income to realize the full tax benefit of the increased amortization resulting from the increase in tax basis of certain Blue Owl Operating Group assets, we expect to pay approximately $959.4 million under the TRA (such amount excludes the adjustment to fair value for the portion classified as contingent consideration). Future cash savings and related payments under the TRA in respect of subsequent exchanges of Blue Owl Operating Group Units for Class A or B Shares would be in addition to these amounts.

Payments under the TRA are anticipated to increase the tax basis adjustment and, consequently, result in increasing annual amortization deductions in the taxable years of and after such increases to the original basis adjustments, and potentially will give rise to increasing tax savings with respect to such years and correspondingly increasing payments under the TRA.

The obligation to make payments under the TRA is an obligation of Blue Owl GP, and any other corporate taxpaying entities that in the future may hold GP Units (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements) and not of the Blue Owl Operating Group. We may need to incur debt to finance payments under the TRA to the extent the Blue Owl Operating Group does not distribute cash to Registrant or Blue Owl GP in an amount sufficient to meet our obligations under the TRA.

The actual increase in tax basis of the Blue Owl Operating Group assets resulting from an exchange or from payments under the TRA, as well as the amortization thereof and the timing and amount of payments under the TRA, will vary based upon a number of factors, including the following:

•The amount and timing of our taxable income will impact the payments to be made under the TRA. To the extent that we do not have sufficient taxable income to utilize the amortization deductions available as a result of the increased tax basis in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships’ assets, payments required under the TRA would be reduced.

•The price of our Class A Shares at the time of any exchange will determine the actual increase in tax basis of the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships’ assets resulting from such exchange; payments under the TRA resulting from future exchanges, if any, will be dependent in part upon such actual increase in tax basis.

Table of Contents

•The composition of the Blue Owl Operating Group assets at the time of any exchange will determine the extent to which we may benefit from amortizing the increased tax basis in such assets and thus will impact the amount of future payments under the TRA resulting from any future exchanges.

•The extent to which future exchanges are taxable will impact the extent to which we will receive an increase in tax basis of the Blue Owl Operating Group assets as a result of such exchanges, and thus will impact the benefit derived by us and the resulting payments, if any, to be made under the TRA.

•The tax rates in effect at the time any potential tax savings are realized, which would affect the amount of any future payments under the TRA.

Depending upon the outcome of these and other factors, payments that we may be obligated to make under the TRA in respect of exchanges could be substantial. In light of the numerous factors affecting our obligation to make payments under the TRA, the timing and amounts of any such actual payments are not reasonably ascertainable.

Share Repurchases and RSUs Withheld for Tax Withholding

On May 4, 2022, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of Class A Shares (the “Program”). Under the Program, repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual numbers repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The Program may be changed, suspended or discontinued at any time and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the purchase of all shares available under the Program or (ii) December 31, 2024. The Program replaced the previously authorized program under which we repurchased 2,000,000 shares during the first quarter of 2022.

Additionally, pursuant to the terms of our RSU agreements, upon the vesting of RSUs to employees, we may net settle awards to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations. In such instances, we cancel a number of RSUs equivalent in value to the amount of tax withholding payments that we make on behalf of employees out of available cash. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 39,640 RSUs with a fair value of $0.4 million and 358,946 RSUs with a fair value of $4.8 million, respectively, were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 50,189 RSUs with a fair value of $0.6 million and 107,170 with a fair value of $1.3 million, respectively, were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

Oak Street Cash Earnout and Wellfleet Earnout

A portion of the Oak Street Cash Earnout and the Wellfleet Earnout (each as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in our Annual Report) is classified as a liability and represents the fair value of the obligation to make future cash payments that would need to be made if all the respective Oak Street Triggering Events and Wellfleet Triggering Events occur. In April 2023, we modified our purchase agreement with the Wellfleet sellers, such that Wellfleet Earnout Shares will be delivered in cash in lieu of Wellfleet Earnout Shares. As we approach each Triggering Event, we generally would expect the respective liabilities to increase due to the passage of time, which would result in mark-to-market losses being recognized in our consolidated statement of operations. Further, the cash portion classified as compensation expense will be expensed and a corresponding accrued compensation liability will be recorded over the service period. To the extent we have insufficient cash on hand or that we opt to, we may rely on debt or equity financing to facilitate these transactions in the future. In January 2023, the Oak Street Triggering Event occurred with respect to the First Oak Street Earnout. In April 2023, the Wellfleet Triggering Event occurred with respect to the First Wellfleet Earnout. For details on the Oak Street Cash Earnout and Wellfleet Earnouts, see Note 8 to our Financial Statements and Note 3 to the financial statements in our Annual Report for additional information.

Dividends and Distributions

For the second quarter of 2023, we declared a dividend of $0.14 to holders of record as of the close of business on August 21, 2023, which will be paid on August 31, 2023. Starting in 2023, we moved to a fixed quarterly dividend based on our expected annual Distributable Earnings for the current fiscal year, which will be reassessed on an annual basis. We set the target annual dividend for fiscal year 2023 at $0.56 per Class A Share (representing a fixed quarterly dividend of $0.14 per Class A Share), subject to the approval of the Board each quarter on or prior to each quarterly distribution date and in compliance with Delaware law, and such dividends are paid following the end of each quarter.

Table of Contents

We intend to increase our fixed dividend each year, in line with our expected growth in Distributable Earnings. When setting our dividend, our Board considers Blue Owl’s share of Distributable Earnings, and makes adjustments as necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of our business, to make appropriate investments in our business and products, including funding of GP commitments and potential strategic transactions; to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, operating reserves, fixed asset purchases, purchases under the Company's share repurchase program and dividends to stockholders for any ensuing quarter; or to comply with applicable law and the Company's contractual obligations. All of the foregoing is subject to the qualification that the declaration and payment of any dividends are at the sole discretion of our Board, and our Board may change our dividend policy at any time, including, without limitation, to reduce or eliminate dividends entirely.

The Blue Owl Operating Partnerships will make cash distributions (“Tax Distributions”) to the partners of such partnerships, including to Blue Owl GP, if we determine that the taxable income of the relevant partnership will give rise to taxable income for its partners. Generally, Tax Distributions will be computed based on our estimate of the taxable income of the relevant partnership allocable to a partner multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, New York State and New York City income tax rates prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York City (taking into account certain assumptions set forth in the relevant partnership agreements). Tax Distributions will be made only to the extent distributions from the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships for the relevant year were otherwise insufficient to cover the estimated assumed tax liabilities.

Holders of our Class A and B Shares may not always receive distributions or may receive lower distributions on a per share basis at a time when we, indirectly through Blue Owl GP, and holders of our Common Units are receiving distributions on their interests, as distributions to the Registrant and Blue Owl GP may be used to settle tax and TRA liabilities, if any, and other obligations.

Dividends are expected to be treated as qualified dividends under current law to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, with any excess dividends treated as a return of capital to the extent of a stockholder’s basis, and any remaining excess generally treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of stock.

Risks to our Liquidity

Our ability to obtain financing provides us with additional sources of liquidity. Any new financing arrangement that we may enter into may have covenants that impose additional limitations on us, including with respect to making distributions, entering into business transactions or other matters, and may result in increased interest expense. If we are unable to secure financing on terms that are favorable to us, our business may be adversely impacted. No assurance can be given that we will be able to issue new debt, enter into new credit facilities or issue equity or other securities in the future on attractive terms or at all.

Adverse market conditions, including from unexpectedly high and persistent inflation, an increasing interest rate environment, geopolitical events, and the current instability experienced by some financial institutions, may negatively impact our liquidity. Cash flows from management fees may be impacted by a slowdown or a decline in fundraising and deployment, as well as declines in the value of investments held in certain of our products. We hold the majority of our cash balances with a single highly rated financial institution and such balances are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Macroeconomic Factors” in our Annual Report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Difficult market and political conditions may reduce the value or hamper the performance of the investments made by our products or impair the ability of our products to raise or deploy capital” in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

LIBOR Transition

On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it would phase out the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a benchmark immediately after December 31, 2021, for sterling, euro, Japanese yen, Swiss franc and 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar settings and immediately after June 30, 2023, the remaining U.S. Dollar settings. Our Notes are fixed rate borrowings, and therefore the LIBOR phase out will not have an impact on this borrowing. The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) at our option, or alternative rates that are not tied to LIBOR. Certain of our products hold investments and have borrowings that are tied to LIBOR, and we continue to focus on managing any risk related to those exposures. Our senior management has oversight of these transition efforts. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Legal and Regulatory Environment—Changes to the method of determining LIBOR or the selection of a replacement for LIBOR may affect the value of investments held by our products” in our Annual Report.

Cash Flows Analysis


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2023		2022		$ Change
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	359,094	$	245,494	$	113,600
Investing activities	(56,896)		(175,111)		118,215
Financing activities	(328,956)		(64,220)		(264,736)
Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	(26,758)	$	6,163	$	(32,921)

Operating Activities. Our net cash flows from operating activities are generally comprised of management fees, less cash used for operating expenses, including interest paid on our debt obligations. One of our largest operating cash outflows generally relates to bonus expense, which are generally paid out during the first quarter of the year following the expense. Net cash flows from operating activities increased from the prior year period due to higher management fees, partially offset by operating expenses, in particular higher bonus payments made during the first quarter related to the prior year.

Included in the six months ended June 30, 2023, were the cash outflows of the portion of the First Oak Street Earnout classified as contingent consideration that settled in January 2023; the amount paid up to the acquisition-date fair value was included in financing activities and the remainder (i.e., accretion since the acquisition date) was included in operating activities.

Investing Activities. Cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were primarily related to purchases of investments in our Real Estate products, as well as cash outflows related to office space-related leasehold improvements. Cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were primarily related to cash consideration paid in connection with the Wellfleet Acquisition, as well as cash outflows related to office space-related leasehold improvements and investments by us into our Credit products.

Financing Activities. Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were primarily driven by dividends on our Class A Shares and related distributions on our Common Units (noncontrolling interests). In addition, we had borrowings and repayments under our Revolving Credit Facility, as well as the issuance of our 2028 Notes, which borrowings were used to finance working capital needs and general capital purposes. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2023, were a portion of the cash outflows related to the First Oak Street Earnout classified as contingent consideration that settled in January 2023, as discussed above.

Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were primarily driven by dividends on our Class A Shares and related distributions on our Common Units (noncontrolling interests). Our cash flows from financing activities also benefited from a net increase related to the proceeds from our 2032 Notes, which were used to finance working capital needs and general capital purposes, partially offset by repayments under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our primary exposure to market risk is the indirect impact that movements in the fair value of investments in products has on our management fees. In our Credit products, our management fees are generally based on the fair value of the gross assets held by such products, and therefore changes in the fair value of those assets impacts the management fees we earn in any given period. These management fees will be increased (or reduced) in direct proportion to the effect of changes in the market value of our investments in the related funds. The proportion of our management fees that are based on fair value is dependent on the number and types of investment funds in existence and the current stage of each fund’s life cycle. Management fees from our GP Strategic Capital and Real Estate products, however, are generally based on capital commitments or investment cost, and therefore management fees are not materially impacted by changes in fair values of the underlying investments held by those products. To the extent that management fees are calculated based on investment cost of the product’s investments, the amount of fees that we may charge will increase or decrease from the effect of changes in the cost basis of the product’s investments, including potential impairment losses.

Interest Rate Risk

Our Notes bear interest at fixed rates. Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate based on SOFR (or an alternative base rate at our option). An increase or decrease in interest rates by 100 basis points is not expected to have a material impact on our interest expense.

Table of Contents

We are also subject to interest rate risk through the investments we hold in our products. An increase in interest rates would be expected to negatively affect the fair value of investments that accrue interest income at fixed rates and therefore negatively impact net change in unrealized gains on investments of the relevant product. The actual impact is dependent on the average duration and the amount of such holdings. Conversely, investments that accrue interest at variable rates would be expected to benefit from an increase in interest rates because these investments would generate higher levels of current income. This would positively impact interest and dividend income but have an offsetting decrease in the fair value of the investments and negatively impact the net change in unrealized gains of the products. An increase in interest rates would also be expected to result in an increase in borrowing costs in any of our products that borrow funds based on floating rates. In the cases where our products pay management fees based on NAV or total assets (including assets purchased with leverage), we would expect our management fees (including Part I Fees) to experience a change in direction and magnitude corresponding to that experienced by the underlying product.

Credit Risk

We generally endeavor to minimize our risk of exposure by limiting to reputable financial institutions the counterparties with which we enter into financial transactions. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held the majority of our cash balances with a single highly rated financial institution and such balances are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. We seek to mitigate this exposure by monitoring the credit standing of these financial institutions. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Macroeconomic Factors” in our Annual Report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Difficult market and political conditions may reduce the value or hamper the performance of the investments made by our products or impair the ability of our products to raise or deploy capital” in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, 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.

We may from time to time be involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” We are not currently subject to any pending legal (including judicial, regulatory, administrative or arbitration) proceedings that we expect to have a material impact on our Financial Statements. However, given the inherent unpredictability of these types of proceedings and the potentially large and/or indeterminate amounts that could be sought, an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material effect on our financial results in any particular period. See Note 11 to our Financial Statements for additional information.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Some factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those results in this report are described as risks in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and our Annual Report. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and our Annual Report. We may, however, disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Item 5. Other Information.

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”

Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement

In connection with the Company’s refinement of the roles and responsibilities within the Company’s product lines, on August 7, 2023 the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated August 7, 2023 (the “A&R IRA”), by and among the Company, the ORC Sellers (as defined therein), the Dyal Sellers (as defined therein), and the other parties from time to time party thereto. Among other things, the A&R IRA (i) amends the authority of the Executive Committee (as defined therein), (ii) makes conforming changes consistent with, or gives effect to, the A&R Rees Employment Agreement (as defined below), and (iii) provides certain information and other approval rights to the Principals and Key Individuals (each, as defined therein).

The foregoing description of the A&R IRA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R IRA included as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Employment Agreement and Restrictive Covenant Agreement

On August 7, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment and restrictive covenant agreement with Michael Rees, the Company’s Co-President and Co-Founder (the “A&R Rees Employment Agreement”). In connection with Mr. Rees’s services as Founder and Head of GP Strategic Capital Business (as defined therein) and Co-President and Co-

Table of Contents

Founder of the Company, the A&R Rees Employment Agreement, among other things, clarifies that Mr. Rees will be responsible for the GP Strategic Capital Business (as defined therein) (including with regards to its investment, strategic and portfolio management, day-to-day operations, and hiring and compensation of employees within the GP Strategic Capital Business).

The A&R Rees Employment Agreement also amends the terms of Mr. Rees’s Additional Compensation (as defined below). Commencing with the current 2023 calendar year, in addition to Mr. Rees’s base salary, Mr. Rees will be entitled to additional compensation in an amount equal to the Applicable Portion (as defined below) over his base salary (the “Additional Compensation”), which will be paid in Quarterly Payments (as defined therein). Mr. Rees has elected to receive his Additional Compensation in the form of equity for the current calendar year through December 31, 2025. For each calendar year thereafter, Mr. Rees will receive his Additional Compensation in cash, unless the Company offers payment in the form of equity, subject to the approvals under the A&R IRA, and Mr. Rees elects accordingly. The Quarterly Payment for the third and fourth fiscal quarters of the 2023 calendar year will be $8,500,000 per quarter.

The Applicable Portion amounts to 30% of the GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount (as defined therein) (subject to adjustments), which estimate will be determined in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. In the event that, following such determination, Mr. Rees’s Quarterly Payments are lower than the maximum amount of the Applicable Portion so estimated in respect of a calendar year, Mr. Rees may determine to increase his Quarterly Payment in the fourth quarter up to the maximum amount of the Additional Portion that he may receive in accordance with the terms of the A&R Rees Employment Agreement. If Mr. Rees does not make such a determination, he will receive the lesser amount and any remaining excess amount in respect of the maximum Applicable Portion that Mr. Rees does not elect to be paid will be forfeited for that calendar year. In the event that the aggregate amount of his base salary and the Quarterly Payments exceeds the maximum Applicable Portion for such calendar year, such payments will be subject to certain reimbursement provisions as set forth in the A&R Rees Employment Agreement.

In the event that the GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount is greater than the estimated amount for a calendar year, Mr. Rees will receive an amount equal to 30% of such excess or up to the maximum Applicable Portion for such calendar year.

Under the A&R Rees Employment Agreement, upon Mr. Rees’s termination of employment for any reason, other than a Disqualifying Termination (as defined therein), subject to certain limitations, Mr. Rees will be paid for each year during the Restricted Period (as defined therein), an amount equal to 30% of the GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount, as well as the Accrued Amounts (as defined therein).

The foregoing description of the A&R Rees Employment Agreement and its terms does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the A&R Employment Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3, and incorporated by reference herein.

Principals Agreement

On August 7, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Principals Agreement”) with Blue Owl Capital Holdings, LLC (“Blue Owl Capital Holdings”) and each of Douglas Ostrover, Marc Lipschultz, Craig Packer, Alan Kirshenbaum, Marc Zahr, Michael Rees, Sean Ward, and Andrew Laurino (the “Principals”, and together with the Company and Blue Owl Capital Holdings, the “Parties”). Pursuant to the terms of the Principals Agreement, (i) subject to certain sunset provisions and the terms of the A&R IRA, the Principals will not take any action in opposition to any stockholder proposal that is approved and recommended by the board of directors of the Company in accordance with the A&R IRA and (ii) the Parties are subject to certain mutual non-disparagement and release provisions, as well as provisions regarding administrative leave. The Principals Agreement also sets forth certain mutual releases among the Parties.

Table of Contents

(as amended, the “Zahr Employment Agreement”, and together with the Executive Employment Agreements, the “Employment Agreements”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Principals Agreement, the Company and Messrs. Ostrover, Lipschultz, Rees and Zahr have agreed to expand Company’s rights to cease, forfeit and recover the Continued Compensation (as defined in the Employment Agreements), in the event that the applicable executive breaches or takes an action prohibited by Section 1 of Exhibit A of such executive’s Employment Agreement during the Restricted Period (as defined in each Executive Employment Agreement) or Non-Compete Restricted Period or the Restricted Period (each as defined in the Zahr Employment Agreement), as applicable and such breach or prohibited action is not cured within twenty days following written notice by the Company.

Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2023

1. ORGANIZATION

Blue Owl Capital Inc. (the “Registrant”), a Delaware corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Blue Owl”), is a global alternative asset manager. Anchored by a strong Permanent Capital base, the Company deploys private capital across Credit, GP Strategic Capital and Real Estate platforms on behalf of institutional and private wealth clients.

The Company’s primary sources of revenues are management fees, which are generally based on the amount of the Company’s fee-paying assets under management. The Company generates substantially all of its revenues in the United States. The Company operates through one operating and reportable segment. This single reportable segment reflects how the chief operating decision makers allocate resources and assess performance under the Company’s “one-firm approach,” which includes operating collaboratively across product lines, with predominantly a single expense pool.

The Company conducts its operations through Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP (“Blue Owl Holdings”) and Blue Owl Capital Carry LP (“Blue Owl Carry”). Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry are referred to, collectively, as the “Blue Owl Operating Partnerships,” and collectively with their consolidated subsidiaries, as the “Blue Owl Operating Group.” The Registrant holds its controlling financial interests in the Blue Owl Operating Group indirectly through Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LLC and Blue Owl Capital GP LLC (collectively, “Blue Owl GP”), which are directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant.

Business Combination, Including Dyal Acquisition

The Registrant was initially incorporated in the Cayman Islands as Altimar Acquisition Corporation (“Altimar”), a special purpose acquisition company. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated December 23, 2020, as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time (the “Business Combination Agreement”), on May 19, 2021 (“Business Combination Date”), (i) Altimar was redomiciled as a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Blue Owl Capital Inc., (ii) Altimar merged with the combined businesses of Owl Rock Capital Group LLC and Blue Owl Securities LLC (“Owl Rock”) (the “Altimar Merger”) and (iii) the Company acquired Dyal Capital Partners (“Dyal Capital”), a former division of Neuberger Berman Group LLC (the “Dyal Acquisition”) (collectively with the Altimar Merger, the “Business Combination”). As further discussed in Note 2, for both the Altimar Merger and the Dyal Acquisition, Owl Rock was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Therefore, the predecessor to Blue Owl is “Owl Rock,” a combined carve-out of Owl Rock Capital Group LLC and Blue Owl Securities LLC (“Securities”).

Oak Street Acquisition

On December 29, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Blue Owl Real Estate Capital, LLC (f/k/a Oak Street Real Estate Capital, LLC,“Oak Street”) and its advisory business (the “Oak Street Acquisition”).

Wellfleet Acquisition

On April 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Blue Owl Liquid Credit Partners (f/k/a Wellfleet Credit Partners, LLC “Wellfleet”), a manager of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) (the “Wellfleet Acquisition,” and collectively with the Oak Street Acquisition and the Dyal Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”).

Registrant’s Capital Structure

The following table presents the number of shares of the Registrant, RSUs and warrants that were outstanding as of June 30, 2023:


						June 30, 2023
Class A Shares						454,557,594

Class C Shares						633,520,277
Class D Shares						319,132,127
RSUs						25,464,881
Private Placement Warrants						5,000,000

Class A Shares—Shares of Class A common stock that are publicly traded. Class A Stockholders are entitled to dividends declared on the Class A Shares by the Registrant’s board of directors (the “Board”). As of June 30, 2023, the Class A Shares and Class C Shares (collectively, the “Low-Vote Shares”) represent a combined 20% of the total voting power of all shares. Prior to April 2022, the Low-Vote Shares represented 10% of the total voting power of all shares.

Class B Shares—Shares of Class B common stock that are not publicly traded. Class B Stockholders are entitled to dividends in the same amount per share as declared on Class A Shares. As of June 30, 2023, the Class B Shares and Class D Shares (collectively, the “High-Vote Shares”) represent a combined 80% of the total voting power of all shares. Prior to April 2022, the High-Vote Shares represented 90% of the total voting power of all shares. No Class B Shares have been issued from inception through June 30, 2023. Common Units (as defined below) held by certain senior members of management (“Principals”) are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class B Shares.

Class C Shares—Shares of Class C common stock that are not publicly traded. Class C Stockholders do not participate in the earnings of the Registrant, as the holders of such shares participate in the economics of the Blue Owl Operating Group through their direct and indirect holdings of Common Units and Incentive Units (as defined below and subject to limitations on unvested units). For every Common Unit held directly or indirectly by non-Principals, one Class C Share is issued to grant a corresponding voting interest in the Registrant. The Class C Shares are Low-Vote Shares as described above.

Class D Shares—Shares of Class D common stock that are not publicly traded. Class D Stockholders do not participate in the earnings of the Registrant, as the holders of such shares participate in the economics of the Blue Owl Operating Group through their direct or indirect holdings of Common Units and Incentive Units (subject to limitations on unvested units). For every Common Unit held directly and indirectly by Principals, one Class D Share is issued to grant a corresponding voting interest in the Registrant. The Class D Shares are High-Vote Shares as described above.

RSUs—The Company grants Class A restricted share units (“RSUs”) to its employees and independent Board members. An RSU entitles the holder to receive a Class A Share, or cash equal to the fair value of a Class A Share at the election of the Board, upon completion of a requisite service period. RSUs granted to-date do not accrue dividend equivalents. No RSUs were issued prior to the Business Combination. RSU grants are accounted for as equity-based compensation. See Note 8 and the Company’s Annual Report for additional information.

Warrants—In connection with the Business Combination, the Company issued warrants to purchase Class A Shares at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the outstanding warrants are held by the sponsor of Altimar (“Private Placement Warrants”) and the remaining warrants were held by other third-party investors (“Public Warrants”). The Private Placement Warrants will expire five years from the Business Combination Date. In August 2022, the Company redeemed all outstanding Public Warrants, as further discussed below.

Blue Owl Operating Partnerships’ Capital Structure

The following table presents the interests outstanding of the Blue Owl Operating Group that were outstanding as of June 30, 2023, which interests are collectively referred to as “Blue Owl Operating Group Units”:


Units						June 30, 2023
GP Units						454,557,594
Common Units						952,652,404
Incentive Units						34,013,081

GP Units—The Registrant indirectly holds a general partner interest and all of the GP Units in each of the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships. The GP Units are general partner interests in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships that represent the Registrant’s economic ownership in the Blue Owl Operating Group. For each Class A Share and Class B Share outstanding, the Registrant indirectly holds an equal number of GP Units. References to GP Units refer collectively to a GP Unit in each of the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships. References to GP Units also include Common Units (as defined below) acquired and held directly or indirectly by the Registrant as a result of Common Units exchanged for Class A Shares.

Common Units—Common Units are limited partner interests held by certain members of management, employees and other third parties in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships. Subject to certain restrictions, Common Units are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for either Class A Shares (if held by a non-Principal) or Class B Shares (if held by a Principal). Common Unit exchanges may be settled in cash at the election of the Company’s Exchange Committee (currently composed of independent members of the Board), and only if funded from proceeds of a new permanent equity offering. Common Units held by Principals are exchangeable after the two-year anniversary of the Business Combination Date. References to Common Units refer collectively to a Common Unit in each of the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships, but excludes any Common Units held directly or indirectly by the Registrant. Upon an exchange of Common Units for an equal number of Class A Shares or Class B Shares, a corresponding number of Class C Shares or Class D Shares, respectively, will be cancelled. Common Unitholders are entitled to distributions in the same amount per unit as declared on GP Units.

Incentive Units—Incentive Units are Class P limited partner interests in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships granted to certain members of management, employees and consultants (collectively, “Incentive Unit Grantees”) and are generally subject to vesting conditions, as further discussed in Note 8. Incentive Units are held indirectly through Blue Owl Management Vehicle LP on behalf of Incentive Unit Grantees. A vested Incentive Unit may convert into a Common Unit upon becoming economically equivalent on a tax basis to a Common Unit. Once vested, Incentive Unitholders are entitled to distributions in the same amount per unit as declared on GP Units and Common Units. Unvested Incentive Unitholders generally are not entitled to distributions; however, consistent with other Blue Owl Operating Group Units (other than Oak Street Earnout Units), unvested Incentive Units receive taxable income allocations that may subject holders to tax liabilities. As a result, Incentive Unitholders (consistent with other Blue Owl Operating Group Units other than Oak Street Earnout Units) may receive tax distributions on unvested units to cover a portion or all of such tax liabilities.

Share Repurchases, RSUs Withheld for Tax Withholding and Warrants Redeemed

The following table presents share repurchase activity and RSUs withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations during each of the indicated periods:

Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2023

On May 4, 2022, the Company’s Board authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of Class A Shares. Under the repurchase program (the “Program”), repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual numbers repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The Program may be changed, suspended or discontinued at any time and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the purchase of all shares available under the Program or (ii) December 31, 2024. The Program replaced the previously authorized program (collectively, the “Programs”) under which the Company repurchased 2,000,000 shares during the first quarter of 2022.

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s RSU awards, upon the vesting of RSUs to employees, the Company net settles awards to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations. In such instances, the Company cancels a number of RSUs equivalent in value to the amount of tax withholding payments that the Company is making on behalf of employees out of available cash.

During the third quarter of 2022, of the 9,159,048 Public Warrants that were outstanding on July 18, 2022, 14,553 were exercised for cash at an exercise price of $11.50 per Class A Share in exchange for an aggregate of 14,553 Class A Shares and 8,961,029 Public Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis in exchange for an aggregate of 2,141,601 Class A Shares. The remaining 183,466 Public Warrants were redeemed for $0.10 per warrant. Total cash proceeds generated from exercises of the Public Warrants during the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $0.2 million.

Acquisitions-Related Earnouts

In connection with the Oak Street Acquisition, the Company agreed to make additional payments of cash (“Oak Street Cash Earnout”) and Common Units (“Oak Street Earnout Units” and collectively with the Oak Street Cash Earnout, the “Oak Street Earnouts”) in two tranches upon the occurrence of certain “Oak Street Triggering Events.” The Oak Street Triggering Events are based on achieving a certain level of quarterly management fee revenues from existing and future Oak Street products. In January 2023, the Oak Street Triggering Event occurred with respect to the First Oak Street Earnout. The Second Oak Street Earnout (as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report), including the delivery of 13,037,165 Common Units, is payable in January 2024. See Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report for additional information.

In connection with the Wellfleet Acquisition, the Company agreed to make additional payments of cash (“Wellfleet Earnout Cash”) and Class A Shares (“Wellfleet Earnout Shares” and collectively with the Wellfleet Earnout Cash, the “Wellfleet Earnouts”) to the sellers in three tranches at each anniversary following the closing of the transaction for three years, contingent upon the continued employment of certain Wellfleet employees (“Wellfleet Triggering Events”). In April 2023, the Company modified the Wellfleet Earnout Shares arrangement, such that the settlement of the Wellfleet Earnout Shares would be in cash at each payment date, including the settlement of the First Wellfleet Earnouts (as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report) during the second quarter of 2023. See Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report for additional information.

Common Unit Exchanges

From time to time, the Company exchanges Common Units and Class C Shares for an equal number of Class A Shares. As a result of these exchanges, the Company reallocates equity from noncontrolling interests to the Company’s additional paid-in capital and records additional deferred tax assets and TRA liability in connection with the exchanges. See the consolidated and combined statement of stockholders’ equity for these amounts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited, interim, consolidated and combined financial statements (“Financial Statements”) are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation and combination. The notes are an integral part of the Company’s Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s Financial Statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) is comprised solely of consolidated and combined net income (loss) (i.e., the Company has no other comprehensive income). These interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”).

Prior to the Business Combination, Blue Owl’s financial statements were prepared on a consolidated and combined basis. As part of the Business Combination, Securities was contributed to the Blue Owl Operating Group. Following the Business Combination, the financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis.

The merger between Owl Rock and Altimar was accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition, with no step-up to fair value on any assets or liabilities, and therefore no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. The Acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. As a result, the Company recorded the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the closing date of each respective acquisition, and operating results for each acquired business are included starting as of such each respective date.

For details about Blue Owl’s significant accounting policies and accounting updates adopted in the prior year, see Note 2 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no material updates to Blue Owl’s significant accounting policies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements. The most critical of these estimates are related to (i) the fair value of the investments held by the products the Company manages, as for many products, this impacts the amount of revenues the Company recognizes each period; (ii) the fair value of equity-based compensation grants; (iii) the fair values of liabilities with respect to the TRA (the portion considered contingent consideration), warrants and earnout liabilities; (iv) the estimate of future taxable income, which impacts the realizability and carrying amount of the Company’s deferred income tax assets; and (v) the qualitative and quantitative assessments of whether impairments of acquired intangible assets and goodwill exist. Inherent in such estimates and judgements relating to future cash flows, which include the Company’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market valuations, and assumptions about the Company’s strategic plans with regard to its operations. While management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Financial Statements are reasonable and prudent, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. None of the ASUs that have been issued but not yet adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

2028 Notes

In May 2023, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary, Blue Owl Finance LLC, issued $59.8 million aggregate principal amount of 7.397% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). The 2028 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.397% per annum and mature on May 26, 2028. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 26 and November 26 of each year.

The 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships and certain of their respective subsidiaries. The guarantees are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the guarantors. All or a portion of the 2028 Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, prior to their stated maturity, subject to a make-whole redemption price; provided, however, that if the Company redeems any amounts on or after April 26, 2028, the redemption price for the 2028 Notes will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the amounts redeemed, in each case, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. If a change of control repurchase event occurs, the 2028 Notes are subject to repurchase by the Company at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The 2028 Notes also provide for customary events of default and acceleration.

Revolving Credit Facility

On December 7, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which was amended in June 2023 to increase total borrowing capacity to $1.6 billion and extend the maturity date to June 29, 2028. Amounts available for the Revolving Credit Facility presented in the tables above are reduced by outstanding letters of credit related to certain leases. The borrowing rates for balances outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were 8.10% and 6.02%, respectively. Of the amount borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2023, $225 million was repaid subsequent to quarter end.

Wellfleet Earnout Shares Modification

In April 2023, the Company modified its purchase agreement with the Wellfleet sellers, such that Wellfleet Earnout Shares will be delivered in cash in lieu of Wellfleet Earnout Shares. As a result of the modification, the Second and Third Wellfleet Earnout Shares were changed from equity-classified to liability-classified on the modification date with the liability recorded at fair value at each reporting period, with the related expense subject to a floor equal to the original grant date fair value. The First Wellfleet Earnout that vested in April 2023 and that was cash settled was treated as a cash settlement of an equity-classified arrangement.

Fair Value Measurements Categorized within the Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). The Company and the products it manages hold a variety of assets and liabilities, certain of which are not publicly traded or that are otherwise illiquid. Significant judgement and estimation go into the assumptions that drive the fair value of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of these assets and liabilities may be estimated using a combination of observed transaction prices, prices from third parties (including independent pricing services and relevant broker quotes), models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are neither directly nor indirectly market observable. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of assets and liabilities that are determined to be illiquid or do not have readily ascertainable fair values, the estimates of fair value may differ from the values ultimately realized, and those differences can be material.

GAAP prioritizes the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of assets and liabilities and the specific characteristics of the financial assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed into one of the following categories based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values:

•Level I – Quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

•Level II – Valuations obtained from independent third-party pricing services, the use of models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are either directly or indirectly market observable as of the measurement date. These financial assets and liabilities exhibit higher levels of liquid market observability as compared to Level III financial assets and liabilities.

F-18

Table of Contents

Blue Owl Capital Inc.

Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2023

•Level III – Pricing inputs that are unobservable in the market and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial asset or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value of financial assets and liabilities in this category may require significant management judgment or estimation. The fair value of these financial assets and liabilities may be estimated using a combination of observed transaction prices, independent pricing services, models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are neither directly nor indirectly market observable (e.g., cash flows, implied yields).

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial asset or liability when the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

The tables below summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Valuation Methodologies for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Levels II and III

Equity Investments in the Company’s Products

The fair value of equity investments in the Company’s products is determined based on the published net asset value of these investments, as such values are the price at which contributions and redemptions are effectuated on a monthly basis. These investments are generally classified as Level II. The majority of this balance is subject to a one-year minimum holding period, which will expire in the fourth quarter of 2023. The remaining balance is generally redeemable on a monthly basis at the Company’s option.

CLOs

The fair value of CLOs are determined based on inputs from independent pricing services. These investments are classified as Level III. The Company obtains prices from independent pricing services that utilizes a discounted cash flows, which take into account unobservable significant inputs, such as yield, prepayments and credit quality.

Corporate Bonds

The fair value of corporate bonds are estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs. These investments are generally classified as Level II. The Company obtains prices from independent pricing services that generally utilize broker quotes and may use various other pricing techniques, which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data.

TRA Liability

The TRA related to the Dyal Acquisition is considered contingent consideration and is measured at fair value based on discounted future cash flows. The remaining TRA liability on the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of financial condition is not measured at fair value.

Warrant Liability

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Private Placement Warrants. The Company estimates the volatility of its Class A Shares based on the volatility implied by our peer group. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasuries for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. Prior to their redemption, the Public Warrants were traded on the NYSE and were stated at the last reported sales price without any valuation adjustments, and therefore were classified as Level I.

Earnout Liability

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the earnout liability was comprised of the Oak Street Cash Earnout and the Wellfleet Earnouts, each of which were deemed to be contingent consideration on the Oak Street Acquisition and Wellfleet Acquisition, respectively.

The fair value of the Oak Street Cash Earnout was determined using a discounted cash flow model as of June 30, 2023 and a Monte Carlo simulation model as of December 31, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the quarterly management fee trigger event associated with the Second Oak Street Earnout was met, as a result, the Company changed the valuation technique to a discounted cash flow model, as historical revenue volatility is no longer relevant to the analysis and only the passage of time remains an input to the fair value. The Monte Carlo simulation model incorporated management’s revenue forecast and made the following adjustments: historical revenue volatility, risk free rate based on U.S. Treasuries for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life and a discount rate to adjust management’s revenue forecast from a risk-based forecast to a risk-neutral forecast.

The fair value of the Wellfleet Earnouts, which are primarily comprised of future contingent cash payments, was determined using a discounted cash flow model.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was approximately $1.4 billion compared to a carrying value of $1.8 billion, of which $1.1 billion of the fair value would have been categorized as Level II within the fair value hierarchy and the remainder as Level III. Management estimates that the carrying value of the Company’s other financial instruments, which are not carried at fair value, approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2023, and such fair value measurements are categorized as Level III within the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was approximately $1.3 billion compared to a carrying value of $1.6 billion, of which $1.1 billion of the fair value would have been categorized as Level II within the fair value hierarchy and the remainder as Level III. Management estimates that the carrying value of the Company’s other financial instruments, which are not carried at fair value, approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2022, and such fair value measurements are categorized as Level III within the fair value hierarchy.

10. INCOME TAXES

The computation of the effective tax rate and provision at each interim period requires the use of certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income that is subject to tax, permanent differences between the Company’s GAAP earnings and taxable income, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets existing as of the balance sheet date. The estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change throughout the year as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as tax laws and regulations change. Accordingly, the effective tax rate for future interim periods may vary materially.

June 30, 2023

The Registrant is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal and state and local corporate-level income taxes on its share of taxable income from the Blue Owl Operating Group. Further, the Registrant’s income tax provision and related income tax assets and liabilities are based on, among other things, an estimate of the impact of exchanges of Common Units for Class A Shares, inclusive of an analysis of tax basis and state tax implications of the Blue Owl Operating Group and their underlying assets and liabilities. The Company’s estimate is based on the most recent information available. The tax basis and state impact of the Blue Owl Operating Group and their underlying assets and liabilities are based on estimates subject to finalization of the Company’s tax returns. The Blue Owl Operating Partnerships, are partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and taxable entities for certain state and local taxes, such as New York City and Connecticut UBT.

The Company had an effective tax rate of 13.7% and 13.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and -163.9% and -1.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rates differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the portion of income allocated to noncontrolling interests, nondeductible compensation and state and local taxes.

The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset and may recognize or adjust any valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has not recorded any valuation allowances.

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 tax years that remain open under the statute of limitations may be subject to examinations by the appropriate tax authorities. The Company is generally no longer subject to state or local examinations by tax authorities for tax years prior to 2018.

In connection with and subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company recorded to additional paid-in capital various adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as related impacts to the TRA liability, related to capital transactions. These adjustments primarily resulted from differences between the Company’s GAAP and tax basis in its investment in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships, as well as portions related to the TRA liability that may eventually lead to additional tax basis in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships upon future TRA payments. The deferred tax assets will be recovered as the basis is amortized. See the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of stockholders’ equity for these amounts.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Tax Receivable Agreement

Pursuant to the TRA, the Company will pay 85% of certain tax benefits, if any, that it realizes (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of any increases in tax basis of the assets of the Blue Owl Operating Group related to the Business Combination and any subsequent exchanges of Blue Owl Operating Group Units for shares of the Registrant or cash.

Payments under the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless (i) the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA and paying recipients an amount representing the present value of the remaining payments, (ii) there is a change of control or (iii) the Company breaches any of the material obligations of the TRA, in which case all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if the Company had exercised its right to terminate the TRA. In each case, if payments are accelerated, such payments will be based on certain assumptions, including that the Company will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions.

The estimate of the timing and the amount of future payments under the TRA involves several assumptions that do not account for the significant uncertainties associated with these potential payments, including an assumption that the Company will have sufficient taxable income in the relevant tax years to utilize the tax benefits that would give rise to an obligation to make payments.

Unfunded Product Commitments

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had unfunded investment commitments to its products of $36.5 million, which is exclusive of commitments that employees and other related parties have directly to the Company’s products, and which the Company expects to fund over the next several years. In addition, the Company has unfunded commitments under a promissory note with one of its products, as further discussed in Note 12.

Indemnification and Guarantee Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain indemnities or guarantees for related parties of the Company, including the Company’s products, as well as persons acting on behalf of the Company or such related parties and third parties. The terms of the indemnities and guarantees vary from contract to contract and the Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be determined or the risk of material loss is remote, and therefore no amounts have been recorded in the consolidated statements of financial condition. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such legal actions, in the opinion of management, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceeding or claim that would individually or in the aggregate materially affect its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The majority of the Company’s revenues, including all management fees and certain administrative, transaction and other fees, are earned from the products it manages, which are related parties of the Company.

The Company also has arrangements in place with products that it manages, whereby certain costs are initially paid by the Company and subsequently are reimbursed by the products. These amounts are included within due from related parties in the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of financial condition.

13. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The table below presents the Company’s treatment for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for instruments outstanding of the Registrant and the Blue Owl Operating Group. Potentially dilutive instruments are only considered in the calculation to the extent they would be dilutive.


	Basic	Diluted
Class A Shares(1)	Included	Included
Class B Shares	None outstanding	None outstanding
Class C Shares and Class D Shares	Non-economic voting shares of the Registrant	Non-economic voting shares of the Registrant
Vested RSUs(1)	Contingently issuable shares	Contingently issuable shares
Unvested RSUs	Excluded	Treasury stock method
Warrants(2)	Excluded	Treasury stock method
Compensation-classified Wellfleet Earnout Shares(3)	Excluded	Excluded
Contingent consideration-classified Wellfleet Earnout Shares(3)	Excluded	Excluded
Potentially Dilutive Instruments of the Blue Owl Operating Group:
Vested Common Units and Incentive Units(4)	Excluded	If-converted method
Unvested Incentive Units(4)	Excluded	The Company first applies the treasury stock method to determine the number of units that would have been issued, then applies the if-converted method to the resulting number of units
Oak Street Earnout Units(5)	Excluded	Contingently issuable shares If-converted method

(1)Included in the weighted-average Class A Shares outstanding are RSUs that have vested but have not been settled in Class A Shares. These RSUs do not participate in dividends until settled in Class A Shares. These vested RSUs totaled 10,645,848 and 10,690,912 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 10,841,191 and 10,884,403 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

(2)The treasury stock method for warrants, which are carried at fair value, includes adjusting the numerator for changes in fair value impacting net income (loss) for the period.

(3)During the second quarter of 2023, the Company modified the Wellfleet Earnout Shares arrangement such that settlement of the Wellfleet Earnout Shares would be in cash at each payment date. As a result of the modification, Wellfleet Earnout Shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2022, the Wellfleet Triggering Events with respect to the Wellfleet Earnout Shares had not occurred, and therefore such shares have not been included in the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. However, had June 30, 2022, also been the end of the contingency period for the Wellfleet Earnout Shares, the Wellfleet Triggering Events would have occurred, and therefore the Wellfleet Earnout Shares have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as if such shares were outstanding from the date of the Wellfleet Acquisition.

(4)The if-converted method for these instruments includes adding back to the numerator any related income or loss allocations to noncontrolling interest, as well as any incremental tax expense had the instruments converted into Class A Shares as of the beginning of the period.

(5)As of June 30, 2023, the Oak Street Triggering Events with respect to the Second Oak Street Earnout Units had not occurred nor are these units issuable by the Registrant (they would be issued as Common Units of the Blue Owl Operating Group), and therefore such units have not been included in the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2022, the Oak Street Triggering Events with respect the First and Second Oak Street Earnout Units had not occurred nor are these units issuable by the Registrant (they would be issued as Common Units of the Blue Owl Operating Group), and therefore such units have not been included in the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. However, had June 30, 2023, also been the end of the contingency period for the Second Oak Street Earnout Units, the Oak Street Triggering Event would have occurred, and therefore the Second Oak Street Earnout Units have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Had June 30, 2022, also been been the end of the contingency period for the First and Second Oak Street Earnout Units, the Oak Street Triggering Events would not yet have occurred, and therefore the First and Second Oak Street Earnout Units have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
