FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our future results of operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will” and “would” or the negative version of these words or other comparable or similar words. These statements identify prospective information. Important factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in these statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity, including, but not limited to, changes in our anticipated revenue and income, which are inherently volatile; changes in the value of our investments; the pace of our raising of new funds; changes in assets under management; the timing and receipt of, and impact of taxes on, carried interest; distributions from and liquidation of our existing funds; changes in our operating or other expenses; the degree to which we encounter competition; and general economic and market conditions. The factors listed in the items captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2014 (“annual report”), which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in our forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

In this quarterly report, unless the context otherwise requires:

“Oaktree,” “OCG,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “our company” refers to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and, where applicable, its subsidiaries and affiliates.

“Oaktree Operating Group,” or “Operating Group,” refers collectively to the entities that control the general partners and investment advisors of our funds in which we have a minority economic interest and indirect control.

“OCGH” refers to Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which holds an interest in the Oaktree Operating Group and all of our Class B units.

“OCGH unitholders” refers collectively to our principals, current and former employees and certain other investors who hold their interest in the Oaktree Operating Group through OCGH.

“2007 Private Offering” refers to the sale completed on May 25, 2007 of 23,000,000 of our Class A units to Goldman, Sachs & Co., as initial purchaser, as more fully described in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—The May 2007 Restructuring and The 2007 Private Offering—The 2007 Private Offering” in our annual report.

“assets under management,” or “AUM,” generally refers to the assets we manage and equals the NAV (as defined below) of the assets we manage, the fund-level leverage on which management fees are charged, the undrawn capital that we are entitled to call from investors in our funds pursuant to their capital commitments, and the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by our collateralized loan obligation vehicles (“CLOs”). Our AUM includes amounts for which we charge no fees. Our definition of AUM is not based on any definition contained in our operating agreement or the agreements governing the funds that we manage. Our calculation of AUM and the two AUM-related metrics described below may not be directly comparable to the AUM metrics of other investment managers.

•

“management fee-generating assets under management,” or “management fee-generating AUM,” is a forward-looking metric and reflects the AUM on which we will earn management fees in the following quarter, as more fully described in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment and Operating Metrics—Assets Under Management—Management Fee-generating Assets Under Management.”


•	“incentive-creating assets under management,” or “incentive-creating AUM,” refers to the AUM that may eventually produce incentive income, as more fully described in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment and Operating Metrics—Assets Under Management—Incentive-creating Assets Under Management.”

“consolidated funds” refers to the funds and CLOs that Oaktree consolidates through a majority voting interest or otherwise, including those funds in which Oaktree as the general partner is presumed to have control.

“funds” refers to investment funds and, where applicable, CLOs and separate accounts that are managed by us or our subsidiaries.

“initial public offering” refers to the listing of our Class A units on the New York Stock Exchange whereby Oaktree sold 7,888,864 Class A units and selling unitholders sold 954,159 Class A units, as more fully described in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Initial Public Offering” in our annual report.

“Intermediate Holding Companies” collectively refers to the subsidiaries wholly owned by us.

“May 2007 Restructuring” refers to the series of transactions that occurred immediately prior to the 2007 Private Offering whereby OCGH contributed our business to the Oaktree Operating Group in exchange for limited partnership interests in each Oaktree Operating Group entity, as more fully described in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—The May 2007 Restructuring and The 2007 Private Offering—The May 2007 Restructuring” in our annual report.

“net asset value,” or “NAV,” refers to the value of all the assets of a fund (including cash and accrued interest and dividends) less all liabilities of the fund (including accrued expenses and any reserves established by us, in our discretion, for contingent liabilities) without reduction for accrued incentives (fund level) because they are reflected in the partners’ capital of the fund.

“Relevant Benchmark” refers, with respect to:


•	our U.S. High Yield Bond strategy, to the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Cash-Pay Capped Index;

•

our Global High Yield Bond strategy, to an Oaktree custom global high yield index that represents 60% BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index and 40% BofA Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers 3% Constrained, ex-Russia Index – USD Hedged from inception through December 31, 2012, and the BofA Merrill Lynch Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index – USD Hedged thereafter;


•	our European High Yield Bond strategy, to the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers excluding Russia 3% Constrained Index (USD Hedged);


•	our U.S. Senior Loan strategy (with the exception of the closed-end funds), to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index;


•	our European Senior Loan strategy, to the Credit Suisse Western European Leveraged Loan Index (EUR Hedged);


•	our U.S. Convertible Securities strategy, to an Oaktree custom convertible index that represents the Credit Suisse Convertible Securities Index from inception through December 31, 1999, the Goldman Sachs/Bloomberg Convertible 100 Index from January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2004 and the BofA Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index thereafter;


•	our non-U.S. Convertible Securities strategy, to the JACI Global ex-U.S. (Local) Index;


•	our High Income Convertible Securities strategy, to the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Market Index; and


•	our Emerging Markets Equity strategy, to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (Net).

“Sharpe Ratio” refers to a metric used to calculate risk-adjusted return. The Sharpe Ratio is the ratio of excess return to volatility, with excess return defined as the return above that of a riskless asset (based on the three-month U.S. Treasury bill, or for our European Senior Loan strategy, the Euro Overnight Index Average) divided by the standard deviation of such return. A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates a return that is higher than would be expected for the level of risk compared to the risk-free rate.

This quarterly report and its contents do not constitute and should not be construed as an offer of securities of any Oaktree funds.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Oaktree” or the “Company”) is a leader among global investment managers specializing in alternative investments. Oaktree emphasizes an opportunistic, value-oriented and risk-controlled approach to investments in distressed debt, corporate debt (including high yield debt and senior loans), control investing, convertible securities, real estate and listed equities. Funds managed by Oaktree (the “Oaktree funds”) include commingled funds, separate accounts and collateralized loan obligation vehicles (“CLOs”). Commingled funds include open-end and closed-end limited partnerships in which the Company makes an investment and for which it serves as the general partner or, in certain limited cases, co-general partner. The CLOs are closed-end investment vehicles in which the Company may make an investment and for which it serves as collateral manager.

Oaktree Capital Group, LLC was formed on April 13, 2007. Oaktree Capital Group Holdings GP, LLC acts as the Company's manager and is the general partner of Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, L.P. (“OCGH”), which owns 100% of the Company's outstanding Class B units. OCGH is owned by the Company's Principals, current and former employees and certain other investors (the “OCGH unitholders”). The Company's operations are conducted through a group of operating entities collectively referred to as the Oaktree Operating Group. OCGH has a direct economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group and the Company has an indirect economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group. An Oaktree Operating Group unit is not a legal interest but represents one limited partnership interest in each of the Oaktree Operating Group entities. The Class B units are entitled to ten votes per unit and have no economic interest in the Company, whereas the Class A units are only entitled to one vote per unit. Consequently, the OCGH unitholders' economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group is reflected as OCGH non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiaries in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including these notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) such that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, the consolidated entities that are considered to be variable interest entities and for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, and certain entities that are not considered variable interest entities but in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Most of the Oaktree funds consolidated by the Company are investment companies that follow a specialized basis of accounting established under GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2014.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation

The Company consolidates those entities where it has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. This includes four variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, and substantially all of Oaktree's closed-end, commingled open-end and evergreen funds for which the Company acts as the sole general partner and is deemed to control through a voting interest model.

Variable Interest Model. The Company consolidates entities determined to be VIEs for which it is considered the primary beneficiary. An entity is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) — (Continued)

($ in thousands, except where noted)

financial interest. A controlling financial interest is defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's business and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The consolidation rules, which were revised effective January 1, 2010, require an analysis to (a) determine whether an entity in which the Company holds a variable interest is a VIE and (b) whether the Company's involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests (e.g., management and performance-related fees), would give it a controlling financial interest. The consolidation rules may be deferred for a VIE if the VIE and the reporting entity's interest in the VIE meet the deferral conditions set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-65-2(aa). If a VIE has qualified for the deferral of the consolidation rules, the analysis is based on consolidation rules prior to January 1, 2010. These rules require an analysis to (a) determine whether an entity in which the Company holds a variable interest is a VIE and (b) whether the Company's involvement through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests (e.g., management and performance-related fees) would be expected to absorb a majority of the variability of the entity. Under either guideline, the Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion at each reporting date. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly by the Company or indirectly through related parties. The consolidation analysis can generally be performed qualitatively; however, if it is not readily apparent that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, a quantitative analysis may also be performed. Investments and redemptions (either by the Company, affiliates of the Company or third parties) or amendments to the governing documents of the respective Oaktree funds could affect an entity's status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary.

While the Company holds variable interests in the Oaktree funds, most of these funds do not meet the characteristics of a VIE. As of March 31, 2014, the Company consolidated four VIEs for which it was the primary beneficiary, including Oaktree AIF Holdings, Inc. (“AIF”), which was formed to hold certain assets for regulatory and other purposes and is immaterial to the Company. The three remaining VIEs represented CLOs, two of which had not launched as of March 31, 2014, for which the Company acts as collateral manager. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no VIEs for which the Company was not the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2013, the Company consolidated two VIEs.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company consolidated three CLOs with total assets and liabilities of $1.0 billion and $876.0 million, respectively. The assets and liabilities of the CLOs primarily consist of investments in debt securities and loans issued by the CLOs, respectively. The loans issued by each CLO are collateralized by the investments held by the CLO, and assets of one CLO may not be used to satisfy liabilities of another. In exchange for managing the collateral of the CLOs, the Company typically earns management fees and may earn performance fees, all of which are eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had an aggregate $115.6 million of investments in its CLOs, which represented its maximum risk of loss. The Company's investments in the CLOs are generally subordinated to other interests in the CLOs and entitle the Company to receive a pro-rata portion of the residual cash flows, if any, from the CLOs. Investors in the CLOs have no recourse against the Company for any losses sustained in the CLO structure.

Voting Interest Model. For entities that are not VIEs, the Company evaluates those entities that it controls through a majority voting interest, including those Oaktree funds in which the Company as the sole general partner is presumed to have control (together with the CLOs, the “consolidated funds”). Although as general partner the Company typically has only a small, single-digit equity interest in each fund, the funds' third-party limited partners do not have the right to dissolve the partnerships or have substantive kick-out or participating rights that would overcome the presumption of control by the Company.

Accordingly, Oaktree's condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, investment income, expenses and cash flows of the consolidated funds on a gross basis, and the majority of the economic interests in those funds, which are held by third-party investors, are attributed to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. All of the management fees and incentive income earned by Oaktree from those funds are eliminated in consolidation. However, because the eliminated amounts are earned from and funded by non-controlling interests, Oaktree's attributable share of the net income from those funds is increased by the amounts eliminated. Thus, the elimination

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) — (Continued)

March 31, 2014

($ in thousands, except where noted)

of these amounts in consolidation has no effect on either net income or loss attributable to the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain funds for which the Company shares general partner responsibilities or where the Company has no general partner responsibility but has the ability to exert significant influence through other means are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Non-controlling Redeemable Interests in Consolidated Funds

The Company records non-controlling interests to reflect the economic interests of the unaffiliated limited partners. These interests are presented as non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, outside of the permanent capital section. Limited partners in open-end and evergreen funds generally have the right to withdraw their capital, subject to the terms of the respective limited partnership agreements, over periods ranging from one month to three years. While limited partners in consolidated closed-end funds generally have not been granted redemption rights, these limited partners do have redemption rights in certain limited circumstances that are beyond the control of the Company, such as instances in which retaining the limited partnership interest could cause the limited partner to violate a law, regulation or rule.

The allocation of net income or loss to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds is based on the relative ownership interests of the unaffiliated limited partners after the consideration of contractual arrangements that govern allocations of income or loss. At the consolidated level, potential incentives are allocated to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds until such incentives become allocable to the Company under the substantive contractual terms of the limited partnership agreements of the funds.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value into three levels based on their market observability. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, such as the type of instrument and the characteristics specific to the instrument. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices from an active market or for which fair value can be measured based on actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified as follows:


•	Level I – Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Company has access at the date of measurement. The types of investments in Level I include exchange-traded equities, debt and derivatives with quoted prices.

•

Level II – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable. Level II inputs include interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment risks, loss severities, credit risks and default rates. The types of investments in Level II generally include corporate bonds and loans, government and agency securities, less liquid and restricted equity investments, over-the-counter traded derivatives, and other investments where the fair value is based on observable inputs.

•

Level III – Valuations for which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. These inputs reflect the Company's assessment of the assumptions that market participants use to value the investment based on the best available information. Level III inputs include prices of quoted securities in markets for which there are few transactions, less public information exists or prices vary among brokered market makers. The types of investments in Level III include non-publicly traded equity, debt, real estate and derivatives.

In some instances, an instrument may fall into multiple levels of the fair-value hierarchy. In such instances, the instrument's level within the fair-value hierarchy is based on the lowest of the three levels (with Level III being the lowest) that is significant to the fair-value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of an input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the instrument. The Company accounts for the transfer of assets into or out of each fair-value hierarchy level as of the beginning of the reporting period.

($ in thousands, except where noted)

In the absence of observable market prices, the Company values Level III investments using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. The quarterly valuation process for Level III investments begins with each portfolio company, property or security being valued by the investment or valuation teams. The valuations are then reviewed and approved by the valuation team and the valuation committee of each investment strategy, which consists of senior members of the investment team. All Level III investment values are ultimately approved by the valuation committees and designated investment professionals, as well as the valuation officer, who is independent of the investment teams and reports directly to the Company's Managing Principal. For certain investments, the valuation process also includes a review by independent valuation parties, at least annually, to determine whether the fair values determined by management are reasonable. Results of the valuation process are evaluated each quarter, including an assessment of whether the underlying calculations should be adjusted or recalibrated. In connection with this process, the Company evaluates changes in fair-value measurements from period to period for reasonableness, considering items such as industry trends, general economic and market conditions, and factors specific to the investment.

Certain Level III assets are valued using prices obtained from brokers or pricing vendors. The Company obtains an average of one to two broker quotes. The Company seeks to obtain at least one quote directly from a broker making a market for the asset and one price from a pricing vendor for the subject or similar securities. These investments are classified as Level III because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities, or may require adjustment for investment-specific factors or restrictions. Generally, the Company does not adjust any of the prices received from these sources, and all prices are reviewed by the Company. The Company evaluates the prices obtained from brokers or pricing vendors based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated. The Company also performs back-testing of valuation information obtained from brokers and pricing vendors against actual prices received in transactions. In addition to on-going monitoring and back-testing, the Company performs due diligence procedures over pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process.

Fair Value Option

The Company has elected the fair value option for certain corporate investments that otherwise would not have reflected unrealized gains and losses in current-period earnings. Such election is irrevocable and is applied on an investment-by-investment basis at initial recognition. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are reflected as a component of investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accounting for these investments at fair value is consistent with how the Company accounts for its investments held by the consolidated funds. The valuation methods used to measure the fair value of such investments are consistent with the valuation methodologies applied to investments held by the consolidated funds.

In addition, the Company has elected the fair value option for the assets of its CLOs. Assets of the CLOs are included in investments, at fair value and liabilities are reflected in collateralized loan obligation loans payable on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Accounting for the investments held by the CLOs at fair value is consistent with how the Company accounts for investments held by other consolidated funds. The valuation methods used to measure the fair value of such investments are consistent with the valuation methodologies applied to investments held by other consolidated funds. Realized gains or losses and changes in the fair value of consolidated CLO assets are included in net realized gain on consolidated funds' investments and net change in unrealized appreciation on consolidated funds' investments, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income of the CLOs is included in interest and dividend income, while interest expense and other expenses of the CLOs are included in interest expense and consolidated fund expenses, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investments, at Fair Value

The consolidated funds are primarily investment limited partnerships that reflect their investments, including majority-owned and controlled investments, at fair value. The Company has retained the specialized investment company accounting guidance under GAAP for the consolidated funds with respect to consolidated investments. Thus, the consolidated investments are reflected on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected as a component of net

change in unrealized appreciation on consolidated funds' investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

Non-publicly traded debt and equity securities and other securities or instruments for which reliable market quotations are not available are valued by management using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. These securities may initially be valued at the acquisition price as the best indicator of fair value. The Company reviews the significant unobservable inputs, valuations of comparable investments and other similar transactions for investments valued at acquisition price to determine whether another valuation methodology should be utilized. Subsequent valuations will depend on the facts and circumstances known as of the valuation date and the application of valuation methodologies further described below under “—Non-publicly Traded Equity and Real Estate Investments.” The fair value may also be based on a pending transaction expected to close after the valuation date.

Exchange-traded Investments

Securities listed on one or more national securities exchanges are valued at their last reported sales price on the date of valuation. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the security is valued at the mean of the last “bid” and “ask” prices on the valuation date. Securities that are not readily marketable due to legal restrictions that may limit or restrict transferability are generally valued at a discount from quoted market prices. The discount would reflect the amount market participants would require due to the risk relating to the inability to access a public market for the security for the specified period and would vary depending on the nature and duration of the restriction and the perceived risk and volatility of the underlying securities. Securities with longer duration restrictions or higher volatility are generally valued at a higher discount. Such discounts are generally estimated based on put option models or analysis of market studies. Instances where the Company has applied discounts to quoted prices of restricted listed securities have been infrequent. The impact of such discounts is not material to the Company's condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations for all periods presented.

Credit-oriented Investments (including Real Estate Loan Portfolios)

Investments in corporate and government debt which are not listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices on the valuation date based on quotations supplied by recognized quotation services or by reputable broker-dealers.

The market-yield approach is considered in the valuation of non-publicly traded debt securities, utilizing expected future cash flows and discounted using estimated current market rates. Discounted cash-flow calculations may be adjusted to reflect current market conditions and/or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. Consideration is also given to a borrower's ability to meet principal and interest obligations; this may include an evaluation of collateral and/or the underlying value of the borrower utilizing techniques described below under “—Non-publicly Traded Equity and Real Estate Investments.”

Non-publicly Traded Equity and Real Estate Investments

The fair value of equity and real estate investments is determined using a cost, market or income approach. The cost approach is based on the current cost of reproducing a real estate investment less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence. The market approach utilizes valuations of comparable public companies and transactions, and generally seeks to establish the enterprise value of the portfolio company or investment property using a market-multiple methodology. This approach takes into account the financial measure (such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net operating income, net income, book value or net asset value) believed to be most relevant for the given company or investment property. Consideration may also be given to factors such as acquisition price of the security or investment property, historical and projected operational and financial results for the portfolio company, the strengths and weaknesses of the portfolio company or investment property relative to its comparable companies or properties, industry trends, general economic and market conditions, and others deemed relevant. The income approach is typically a discounted cash-flow method that incorporates expected timing and level of cash flows. It incorporates assumptions in determining growth rates, income and expense projections, discount and capitalization rates, capital structure, terminal values, and other factors. The applicability and weight assigned to market and income approaches are determined based on the availability of reliable projections and comparable companies and transactions.

The valuation of securities may be impacted by expectations of investors' receptiveness to a public offering of the securities, the size of the holding of the securities and any associated control, information with respect to transactions or offers for the securities (including the transaction pursuant to which the investment was made and the period of time elapsed from the date of the investment to the valuation date), and applicable restrictions on the transferability of the securities.

These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of management judgment. Accordingly, valuations by the Company do not necessarily represent the amounts that may eventually be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments. Fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment existed, and the differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Developments

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that amended the criteria by which an entity qualifies as an investment company for accounting purposes. The guidance also clarified the characteristics of an investment company and provided measurement and disclosure requirements for an investment company. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2014, which resulted in additional disclosures (please see note 12), but did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net Gains From Investment Activities of Consolidated Funds

Net gains from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations consist primarily of the realized and unrealized gains and losses on the consolidated funds' investments (including foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to foreign-denominated investments and related activities) and other financial instruments. Unrealized gains or losses result from changes in the fair value of these investments and other financial instruments. Upon disposition of an investment, unrealized gains or losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period.

Transfers out of Level III were generally attributable to certain investments that experienced a more significant level of market activity during the period and thus were valued using observable inputs. Transfers into Level III were typically due to certain investments that experienced a less significant level of market activity during the period or portfolio companies that undertook restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings and thus were valued in the absence of observable inputs.

(1)	A discounted cash-flow method is generally used to value performing credit-oriented investments in which the consolidated funds do not have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer, as well as certain equity investments, real estate-oriented investments and real estate loan portfolios.


(2)	A market approach is generally used to value distressed investments and investments in which the consolidated funds have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer.

(3)

Earnings multiples are based on comparable public companies and transactions with comparable companies. The Company typically utilizes multiples of EBITDA; however, in certain cases the Company may use other earnings multiples believed to be most relevant to the investment. The Company typically applies the multiple to trailing-twelve months' EBITDA. However, in certain cases other earnings measures, such as pro forma EBITDA, may be utilized if deemed to be more relevant.

(4)

A market approach using the value of underlying assets utilizes a multiple, based on comparable companies, of underlying assets or the net book value of the portfolio company. The Company typically obtains the value of underlying assets from the underlying portfolio company's financial statements or from pricing vendors. The Company may value the underlying assets by using prices and other relevant information from market transactions involving comparable assets.


(5)	Certain investments are valued based on recent transactions, generally defined as investments purchased or sold within six months of the valuation date. The fair value may also be based on a pending transaction expected to close after the valuation date.

($ in thousands, except where noted)


(6)	Certain investments are valued using quoted prices for the subject or similar securities. Generally, investments valued in this manner are classified as Level III because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities, or may require adjustment for investment-specific factors or restrictions.

(7)

The discounted cash flow model for certain real estate-oriented investments and certain real estate loan portfolios contains a sell-out analysis. In these cases, the discounted cash flow is based on the expected timing and prices of sales of the underlying properties. The Company's determination of the sales prices of these properties typically includes consideration of prices and other relevant information from market transactions involving comparable properties.

(8)

The sales approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable assets. The significant unobservable inputs used in the sales approach generally include adjustments to transactions involving comparable assets or properties, adjustments to external or internal appraised values, and the Company's assumptions regarding market trends or other relevant factors.


(9)	The discount rate is the significant unobservable input used in the fair-value measurement of performing credit-oriented investments in which the consolidated funds do not have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer, as well as certain equity investments and real estate loan portfolios. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate would result in a lower (higher) fair-value measurement.

(10)

Multiple of either earnings or underlying assets is the significant unobservable input used in the market approach for the fair-value measurement of distressed credit-oriented investments, credit-oriented investments in which the consolidated funds have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer, equity investments and certain real estate-oriented investments. An increase (decrease) in the multiple would result in a higher (lower) fair-value measurement.

(11)

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair-value measurement of real estate investments utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis can include one or more of the following: discount rate, terminal capitalization rate, direct capitalization rate, net operating income growth rate or absorption rate. An increase (decrease) in a discount rate, terminal capitalization rate or direct capitalization rate would result in a lower (higher) fair-value measurement. An increase (decrease) in a net operating income growth rate or absorption rate would result in a higher (lower) fair-value measurement. Generally, a change in a net operating income growth rate or absorption rate would be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the discount rate.


(12)	The weighted average is based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.

A significant amount of judgment may be required when using unobservable inputs, including assessing the accuracy of source data and the results of pricing models. The Company assesses the accuracy and reliability of the sources it uses to develop unobservable inputs. These sources may include third-party vendors that the Company believes are reliable and commonly utilized by other market place participants. As described in note 2, other factors beyond the unobservable inputs described above may have a significant impact on investment valuations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the valuation technique for one Level III equity security and one Level III credit-oriented security changed from a valuation based on recent market information to a market approach based on comparable companies, as the investee underwent a restructuring and its securities are no longer traded. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, there were no changes in techniques used to value Level III investments.

5. HEDGES AND OTHER DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into derivative instruments as part of its overall risk management strategy or to facilitate its investment management activities. Risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of business are addressed as part of the Company's overall risk management strategy that may include the use of derivative instruments to economically hedge or reduce these exposures. From time to time, the Company may enter into (a) foreign currency option and forward contracts to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and (b) interest-rate swaps to manage all or a portion of the interest-rate risk associated with its variable rate borrowings. As a result of the use of these or other derivative contracts, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties will fail to fulfill their contractual obligations. The Company attempts to mitigate this counterparty risk by entering into derivative contracts only with major financial institutions that have investment-grade credit ratings. Counterparty credit risk is evaluated in determining the fair value of derivative instruments.

In January 2013, the Company entered into an interest-rate swap with a notional value of $175.0 million, of which $168.8 million was designated to hedge a portion of the interest-rate risk associated with its variable-rate borrowings. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had two interest-rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges with a combined notional value of $371.3 million. These hedges continued to be effective. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had two interest-rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges with a combined notional value of $378.8 million.

In August 2013, to facilitate its investment management activities, the Company entered into a two-year total return swap (“TRS”) agreement with a financial institution to meet certain investment objectives for which the primary risk exposure was credit. Pursuant to the TRS agreement, the Company had deposited $50 million in cash collateral with the counterparty and had the ability to access up to $200 million of U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities underlying the TRS.

In February 2014, the Company closed its TRS position resulting in realized gains of $7.1 million, of which $1.4 million was received in cash. In connection with the launch of a CLO, the Company purchased the underlying reference securities that were held by the counterparty at fair value totaling $312.9 million and interest receivable of $1.0 million. The Company paid $258.2 million in cash, net of the $50 million cash deposit and an offset of the remaining $5.7 million of realized gains due from the counterparty under the TRS. The CLO was funded with net proceeds of $450.0 million in cash from the issuance of $456.0 million in senior secured notes to a third party, net of $6.0 million in debt issuance costs, and $60.2 million in contributions from the Company. Please see note 6 for more information regarding CLO loans payable.

Freestanding derivatives are instruments that the Company enters into as part of its overall risk management strategy but does not designate as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. These instruments may include foreign currency exchange contracts, interest-rate swaps and other derivative contracts.

The fair value of forward currency sell contracts consisted of the following:



As of March 31, 2014:	Contract Amount in Local Currency	Contract Amount in U.S. Dollars		Market Value in U.S. Dollars		Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

The fair value of the TRS contract as of December 31, 2013, which is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, consisted of the following:



As of December 31, 2013	Notional		Fair Value
Total-return swap	$	189,089	$	4,515

Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from freestanding derivative instruments were recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:

General and administrative expenses ⁽¹⁾	$	(1,491	)	$	4,359

Total-return Swap:
Investment income	$	2,554		$	—


(1)	To the extent that the Company's freestanding derivatives are utilized to hedge its exposure to investment income and management fees earned from consolidated funds, the related hedged items are eliminated in consolidation, with the derivative impact (a positive number reflects a reduction of expenses) reflected in consolidated general and administrative expenses.

As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had not designated any derivatives as fair-value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations.

Derivatives Held By Consolidated Funds

Certain consolidated funds utilize derivative instruments in ongoing investment operations. These derivatives primarily consist of foreign currency forward contracts and options utilized to manage currency risk, interest-rate swaps to hedge interest-rate risk, options and futures used to hedge exposure for specific securities, and total-return and credit-default swaps utilized mainly to obtain exposure to leveraged loans or to participate in foreign markets not readily accessible. The primary risk exposure for options and futures is price, while the primary risk exposure for total-return and credit-default swaps is credit. None of the derivative instruments are accounted for as hedging instruments utilizing hedge accounting.

The impact of derivative instruments held by the consolidated funds on the condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,

Balance Sheet Offsetting

The Company recognizes all derivatives as assets or liabilities at fair value in its condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. In connection with its derivative activities, the Company generally enters into agreements subject to enforceable master netting arrangements that allow the Company to offset derivative assets and liabilities in the same currency by specific derivative type or, in the event of default by the counterparty, to offset derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty. The table below sets forth the rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with derivative instruments held by the Company. The “gross amounts not offset in statements of financial condition” column in the table below relates to derivative instruments that are eligible to be offset in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, but for which management has elected not to offset in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Future principal payments of debt obligations as of March 31, 2014 were as follows:



Remainder of 2014	$	10,714
2015	—
2016	100,000

Total	$	610,714

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants associated with its senior notes and credit facility as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The fair value of the Company's debt obligations, which are carried at amortized cost, is a Level III valuation that is estimated based on a discounted cash-flow calculation using estimated rates that would be offered to Oaktree for debt of similar terms and maturities. The fair value of these debt obligations was $662.3 million and $611.1 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, utilizing an average borrowing rate of 3.3% and 3.2%, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, a 10% increase in the assumed average borrowing rate would lower the estimated fair value to $656.5 million, whereas a 10% decrease would increase the estimated fair value to $668.4 million.

In March 2014, the Company's subsidiaries Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., Oaktree Capital II, L.P., Oaktree AIF Investments, L.P. and Oaktree Capital I, L.P. entered into a credit agreement with a bank syndicate for senior unsecured credit facilities (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $250 million fully-funded term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $500 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), each with a five-year term. The Credit Facility replaced the amortizing term loan, which had a principal balance of $218.8 million, and the undrawn revolver under the Company's prior credit facility. The Term Loan matures in March 2019, at which time the entire principal amount of $250 million is due. Borrowings under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at a spread to either LIBOR or an alternative base rate. Based on the current credit ratings of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., the interest rate on borrowings is LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum and the commitment fee on the unused portions of the Revolver is 0.125% per annum. Utilizing interest-rate swaps, the majority of the Term Loan's annual interest rate is fixed at 2.69% through January 2016 and 2.22% for the twelve months thereafter, based on the current credit ratings of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. The Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants and restrictions, including ones regarding a maximum leverage ratio of 3.0-to-1.0 and a minimum required level of assets under management (as defined in the credit agreement) of $50 billion. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and was able to draw the full amount available without violating any financial covenants.

Credit Facilities of the Consolidated Funds

Certain consolidated funds maintain revolving credit facilities to fund investments between capital drawdowns. These facilities generally (a) are collateralized by the unfunded capital commitments of the consolidated funds' limited partners, (b) bear an annual commitment fee based on unfunded commitments, and (c) contain various affirmative and negative covenants and reporting obligations, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, margin stock, affiliate transactions, dividends and distributions, release of capital commitments, and portfolio asset dispositions. Additionally, certain consolidated funds have issued senior variable rate notes to fund investments on a longer term basis, generally up to ten years. The obligations of the consolidated funds are nonrecourse to the Company. The fair value of the credit facilities and senior variable rate notes is a Level III valuation and was estimated based on a discounted cash-flow analysis utilizing a discount rate that ranged from 1.6% to 1.8%. For all periods presented, carrying value approximates the fair value of the credit facilities and senior variable rate notes due to their short-term nature, recent issuance date or a resulting yield that approximates the market rate. As of March 31, 2014, the consolidated funds were in compliance with all covenants.

(2)	The interest rate was LIBOR plus 2.01%.


(3)	The interest rate was LIBOR plus a margin determined based on a formula as defined in the respective borrowing agreements, which incorporate different borrowing values based on the characteristics of collateral investments purchased. The weighted average unused commitment fee rate ranged from 0% to 2.0%.


(4)	The term loan had a total facility capacity of €140 million as of March 31, 2014. The interest rate was EURIBOR plus 1.40% and the unused commitment fee was 0.30%.

The obligations with respect to the CLO loans payable are nonrecourse to the Company and are backed by the investments held by the respective CLO. Assets of one CLO may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another. As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of the CLO assets was $1.0 billion and consisted of cash, corporate loans, corporate bonds and other securities. As of December 31, 2013, there were no assets or liabilities outstanding associated with the CLOs.

8. UNITHOLDERS’ CAPITAL

The OCGH unitholders’ economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group is reflected as OCGH non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiaries and is determined at the Oaktree Operating Group level based on the proportionate share of Oaktree Operating Group units held by the OCGH unitholders. Certain expenses, such as income tax and related administrative expenses of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and its Intermediate Holding Companies, are solely attributable to the Class A unitholders. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, OCGH units represented 109,203,939 of the total 152,683,609 Oaktree Operating Group units and 112,584,211 of the total 151,056,717 Oaktree Operating Group units. Based on total Oaktree Operating Group capital of $1,695,765 and $1,655,911 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, the OCGH non-controlling interest was $1,212,862 and $1,234,169.

The following table sets forth a summary of the net income attributable to the OCGH non-controlling interest and to the Class A unitholders:

On March 10, 2014, the Company issued and sold 5,000,000 Class A units to the underwriter in a public offering (the “March 2014 Offering”), resulting in $296.7 million in proceeds to the Company. The Company did not retain any proceeds from the sale of Class A units in the March 2014 Offering. The proceeds from the March 2014 Offering were used to acquire interests in the Company's business from certain of the Company's directors, employees and other investors, including certain Principals and other members of the Company's senior management.

Please see notes 9, 10 and 11 for additional information regarding transactions that impacted unitholders' capital.

Basic and diluted net income per Class A unit	$	1.30	$	1.91

(1)

Vested OCGH units are potentially exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into Class A units. As of March 31, 2014, there were 109,203,939 OCGH units outstanding, accordingly, the Company may cumulatively issue up to 109,203,939 additional Class A units through March 1, 2024 if all such units were exchanged. For all periods presented, OCGH units have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per unit because the exchange of these units would proportionally increase Oaktree Capital Group, LLC’s interest in the Oaktree Operating Group and could have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per unit to the extent that tax-related or other expenses were incurred by the Company as a result of the exchange.

10. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted 1,690,418 restricted OCGH units and 7,164 Class A units to its employees and directors, subject to annual vesting over a weighted average period of approximately 5.1 years. The grant date fair value of all OCGH units awarded in 2014 was determined by applying a 25% discount to the Class A unit trading price on the New York Stock Exchange and the calculation of compensation expense assumed a forfeiture rate, based on expected employee turnover, of up to 1.5% annually.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company expected to recognize compensation expense on its unvested equity-based awards of $163.1 million over a weighted average recognition period of 5.2 years.

A summary of the status of the Company’s unvested equity-based awards as of March 31, 2014 and a summary of changes for the three months then ended are presented below (actual dollars per unit):



	Class A Units				OCGH Units
	Number of Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

OCGH units	5,126,766	5.2

11. INCOME TAXES AND RELATED PAYMENTS

Oaktree is a publicly traded partnership and Oaktree Holdings, Inc. and Oaktree AIF Holdings, Inc., two of its Intermediate Holding Companies, are wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries. Income earned by these corporate subsidiaries is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation and taxed at prevailing rates. Income earned by non-corporate subsidiaries is not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax and is allocated to the Oaktree Operating Group's unitholders. The Company's effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated nature of many amounts and the mix of revenues and expenses between the two corporate subsidiaries that are subject to income tax and the three other subsidiaries that are not; consequently, the effective tax rate is subject to significant variation from period to period. The Company's effective tax rate used for interim periods is based on the estimated full-year income tax rate.

U.S. and non-U.S. taxing authorities are currently examining certain income tax returns of Oaktree, with certain of these examinations at an advanced stage. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that one outcome of these current examinations, combined with expiring statutes of limitation on other items, may be to reduce in the next 12 months approximately $8 million to $10 million of previously accrued Operating Group income taxes. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to its tax examinations and that any settlements related thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. However, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcomes.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The exchange of OCGH units in connection with the March 2014 Offering resulted in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the Oaktree Operating Group. As a result, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $94 million and an associated liability of $80 million for payments to OCGH unitholders under the tax receivable agreement, which together increased capital by $14 million. These payments are expected to occur over the period ending approximately in 2036.

No amounts were paid under the tax receivable agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, Oaktree enters into contracts that contain certain representations, warranties and indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these arrangements would involve future claims that have not yet been asserted. Inasmuch as no such claims currently exist or are expected to arise, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with these indemnifications.

Legal Actions

Periodically, the Company is a party to legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is currently not subject to any pending actions that either individually or in the aggregate are expected to have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

On June 8, 2011, Kaplan Industry, Inc. v. Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. In Kaplan, the plaintiff alleges that Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. tortiously interfered with a business relationship and engaged in a civil conspiracy through the actions of Gulmar Offshore Middle East, LLC (“Gulmar”), a business acquired by subsidiaries of OCM European Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (“EPOF II”). Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. serves as investment manager to EPOF II. The complaint alleges that Gulmar breached a consortium agreement between Gulmar and Kaplan Industry, Inc. relating to the consortium’s performance of services to Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., the state-owned oil producer of Venezuela. The plaintiff alleges that Oaktree is responsible for these breaches by Gulmar. The complaint seeks damages in excess of $800 million. The substance of the claim relates almost exclusively to actions by Gulmar prior to EPOF II’s acquisition and the basis of the claim is currently subject to an ongoing arbitration in the United Kingdom between Kaplan and Gulmar. On August 18, 2011, the court granted Oaktree Capital Management, L.P.’s motion to stay pending the completion of a related arbitration proceeding in London. Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. believes the case is without merit and that any exposure to loss is remote.

Incentive Income

In addition to the incentive income recognized by the Company, certain of its funds have amounts recorded as potentially allocable to the Company as its share of potential future incentive income, based on each fund’s NAV. Inasmuch as this incentive income is contingent upon future investment activity and other factors, it is not recognized by the Company until it is fixed or determinable. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate of such amounts recorded at the fund level in excess of incentive income recognized by the Company was $2,335,937 and $2,211,979, respectively, for which related direct incentive income compensation expense was estimated to be $1,120,414 and $994,879, respectively.

Commitments to Funds

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company, generally in the capacity as general partner, had undrawn capital commitments of $335.8 million and $327.3 million, respectively, including commitments to both non-consolidated and consolidated funds.

Investment Commitments of Consolidated Funds

The consolidated funds are parties to certain credit agreements, providing for the issuance of letters of credit and revolving loans, which may require the consolidated funds to extend additional loans to investee companies. The consolidated funds use the same investment criteria in making these unrecorded commitments as they do for investments that are included in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The

unfunded liability associated with these credit agreements is equal to the amount by which the contractual loan commitment exceeds the sum of the amount of funded debt and cash held in escrow, if any. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the consolidated funds had aggregate potential credit and investment commitments of $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. These commitments will be funded by the funds’ cash balances, proceeds from asset sales or drawdowns against existing capital commitments.

A consolidated fund may agree to guarantee the repayment obligations of certain investee companies. On December 20, 2012, certain consolidated funds (“Funds”) entered into a £200 million revolving credit facility (the “RCF”) pursuant to which certain portfolio companies of the Funds were able to draw under the RCF over a three-year period. The RCF had an annual commitment fee on unused commitments of 1.0% and an annual interest rate equal to Libor or Euribor, as applicable, plus 2.0%. The Funds guaranteed the payment and other obligations of the borrowers under the RCF. As of December 31, 2013, there were $317.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the RCF. On February 25, 2014, the Funds repaid the outstanding balance under the RCF and replaced the RCF, along with an existing €130 million revolving credit facility, with a €550 million revolving credit facility (please see note 6).

The aggregate amounts guaranteed in addition to those described for the RCF were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The majority of the Company’s consolidated funds are investment companies that are required to disclose financial support provided or contractually required to be provided to any of their portfolio companies. Certain consolidated funds within the Distressed Debt, Control Investing and Real Estate strategies provide financial support to portfolio companies in accordance with the investment objectives of the consolidated funds. Distressed Debt funds invest primarily in the securities of entities that are undergoing, are considered likely to undergo, or have undergone reorganizations under applicable bankruptcy law, or other extraordinary transactions such as debt restructurings, reorganizations and liquidations outside of bankruptcy. Control Investing funds seek to obtain control or significant influence primarily in middle-market companies through the purchase of debt at a discount (also known as “distress-for-control”), structured or hybrid investments (such as convertible debt or debt with warrants), or direct equity investments that typically involve situations with an element of distress or dislocation. Real Estate funds focus on distressed opportunities primarily in real estate, real estate debt and restructurings, which typically involve value investments, rescue capital and distress-for-control investments. This financial support may be provided pursuant to contractual agreements, typically in the form of follow-on investments, guarantees or financing commitments. Most of the financial support is provided as an inherent part of the ongoing investment operations of the consolidated funds within these strategies and is considered to be provided at the discretion of the Company in its capacity as general partner and investment manager. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the consolidated funds provided financial support to portfolio companies totaling $366.4 million and $2.6 billion with respect to support pursuant to contractual agreements and at the discretion of the consolidated funds, respectively. The majority of this financial support consisted of the funds' ongoing purchases of investment securities and companies.

13. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company considers its Principals, employees and non-consolidated Oaktree funds to be affiliates (as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary). Amounts due from and to affiliates are set forth below. The fair value of amounts due from and to affiliates is a Level III valuation and was valued based on a discounted cash-flow analysis. The carrying value of amounts due from affiliates approximates fair value because their average interest rate, which ranged from 2.0% to 3.0%, approximated the Company's cost of debt. The fair value of amounts due to affiliates was $160,951 and $123,497 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, based on a discount rate of 10.0%.



	As of
	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Due from affiliates:
Loans	$	41,092	$	41,095
Amounts due from non-consolidated funds	870		1,220
Payments made on behalf of non-consolidated entities	4,397		3,272
Non-interest bearing advances made to certain non-controlling interest holders and employees	1,837		2,187
Total due from affiliates	$	48,196	$	47,774
Due to affiliates:
Due to OCGH unitholders in connection with the tax receivable agreement (please see note 11)	$	320,940	$	240,911
Amounts due to Principals, certain non-controlling interest holders and employees	890		2,075
Total due to affiliates	$	321,830	$	242,986

Loans

Loans primarily consist of interest-bearing advances made to certain non-controlling interest holders, primarily the Company’s employees, to meet tax obligations related to vesting of equity awards. The notes, which are generally recourse to the borrower or secured by vested equity and other collateral, bear interest at the Company’s cost of capital and generated interest income of $568 and $413 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Due From Oaktree Funds and Portfolio Companies

In the normal course of business, the Company pays certain expenses on behalf of the Oaktree funds, for which it is reimbursed. Amounts advanced on behalf of consolidated funds are eliminated in consolidation. Certain expenses initially paid by the Company, primarily employee travel and other costs associated with particular portfolio company holdings, are reimbursed by the portfolio companies.

Other Investment Transactions

The Company’s Principals, directors and senior professionals are permitted to invest their own capital (or the capital of family trusts or other estate planning vehicles they control) in Oaktree funds, for which they pay the particular fund’s full management fee but not its incentive allocation. To facilitate the funding of capital calls by funds in which employees are invested, the Company periodically advances on a short-term basis the capital calls on certain employees' behalf. These advances are generally reimbursed toward the end of the calendar quarter in which the capital calls occurred. Amounts temporarily advanced by the Company are included in non-interest bearing advances made to certain non-controlling interest holders and employees.

Aircraft Services

A subsidiary of the Company leases an airplane for business purposes. The Company’s Chairman may use this aircraft for personal travel and, pursuant to a policy adopted by such subsidiary relating to such personal use, the Company is reimbursed by the Company’s Chairman for the costs of using the aircraft for personal travel. Additionally, the Company occasionally makes use of an airplane owned by one of its Principals for business purposes at a price to the Company that is based on market rates.

Special Allocations

Certain Principals receive special allocations based on a percentage of profits of the Oaktree Operating Group. These special allocations, which are recorded as compensation expense, are made on a current basis only for so long as they remain Principals of the Company.

Transactions with Meyer Memorial Trust

One of the Company’s directors, Mr. Pierson, is the Chief Financial and Investment Officer of Meyer Memorial Trust. Meyer Memorial Trust invests in certain Oaktree funds on the same terms as the other investors in those funds.

14. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s business is comprised of one segment, the investment management segment. As a global investment manager, the Company provides investment management services through funds and separate accounts. Management makes operating decisions and assesses business performance based on financial and operating metrics and data that are presented without the consolidation of any funds.

The Company conducts its investment management business primarily in the United States, where substantially all of its revenues are generated.

Adjusted Net Income

The Company’s chief operating decision maker uses adjusted net income (“ANI”) as a tool to help evaluate the financial performance of, and make resource allocations and other operating decisions for, the investment management segment. The components of revenues and expenses used in the determination of ANI do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that the Company manages. In addition, ANI excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before the Company’s initial public offering, (b) income taxes, (c) expenses that Oaktree Capital Group, LLC or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly and (d) the adjustment for the OCGH non-controlling interest. Incentive income and incentive income compensation expense are included in ANI when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, which may be later than the time at which the same revenue or expense is included in the GAAP-basis statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is fixed or determinable and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. ANI is calculated at the Operating Group level.

(1)	This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences associated with the recognition of incentive income and incentive income compensation expense between adjusted net income and net income attributable to OCG. There were no adjustments attributable to timing differences for the three months ended March 31, 2013.


(2)	This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before the Company’s initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income because it is a non-cash charge that does not affect the Company's financial position.


(3)	Because adjusted net income is a pre-tax measure, this adjustment eliminates the effect of income tax expense from adjusted net income.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and the related notes included within this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. The factors listed under “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in this quarterly report and under “Risk Factors” in our annual report provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in any forward-looking statements.

Business Overview

Oaktree is a leader among global investment managers specializing in alternative investments, with $86.2 billion in AUM as of March 31, 2014. The firm emphasizes an opportunistic, value-oriented and risk-controlled approach to investments in distressed debt, corporate debt (including high yield debt and senior loans), control investing, convertible securities, real estate and listed equities. Over more than a quarter-century we have developed a large and growing client base through our ability to identify and capitalize on opportunities for attractive investment returns in less efficient markets. Our investment approach, based on the primacy of risk control, and the strong risk-adjusted performance record it has produced appeal to the many investors who seek attractive returns with less-than-commensurate risk. Oaktree's growth and success are byproducts of our proven investment approach and our policy of putting clients' interests first.

We manage assets on behalf of many of the most significant institutional investors in the world. Our clientele has more than doubled over the past decade, to approximately 2,000, including 74 of the 100 largest U.S. pension plans, 38 states in the United States, over 400 corporations, nearly 350 university, charitable and other endowments and foundations, 11 sovereign wealth funds and approximately 300 other non-U.S. institutional investors. Approximately 39% of our clients are invested in at least four or more different investment strategies, and approximately 38% of our clients are invested in two or three different investment strategies. We serve these clients with over 800 employees, including over 220 employee-owners, with offices in 16 cities across 12 countries, of which the largest offices are in Los Angeles (headquarters), London, New York and Hong Kong.

Our business is comprised of one segment, our investment management segment, which consists of the investment management services that we provide to our clients. Our segment revenue flows from the management fees and incentive income generated by the funds that we manage, as well as the investment income from the funds we manage and other funds and companies in which we invest. The management fees that we receive are based on the contractual terms of the relevant fund and are typically calculated as a fixed percentage of the capital commitments (as adjusted for distributions during a fund's liquidation period), drawn capital or NAV of the particular fund. Incentive income represents our share (typically 20%) of the investors' profits in most of the closed-end and evergreen funds. Investment income refers to the investment return on a mark-to-market basis or our equity participation on the amounts that we invest in Oaktree and third-party funds, as well as in other companies.

Business Environment and Developments

As a global investment manager, we are affected by myriad factors, including the condition of the economy and financial markets; the relative attractiveness of our investment strategies and investors' demand for them; and regulatory or other governmental policies or actions. The diversified nature of both our array of investment strategies and our revenue mix historically has allowed us to benefit from both strong and weak environments. Weak economies and the declining financial markets that typically accompany them tend to dampen our revenues from asset-based management fees, investment realizations or price appreciation, but their prospect can result in our raising relatively large amounts of capital for certain strategies, especially Distressed Debt. Additionally, during weak financial markets there often is expanded availability of bargain investments for purchase, and our risk-controlled investment approach generally allows us to take maximum advantage of them. Conversely, the strong phase of the economic cycle generally increases the value of our investments and therefore the fees that are based on asset value, and creates favorable exit opportunities (and often incentive income and higher investment income proceeds). At the same time, however, this motivates us to be more restrained in sizing funds in distress-oriented strategies.

Following 2013’s strong returns, most major equity markets saw modest gains in the first quarter of 2014, with the S&P 500 Index rising 1.8%. Credit markets generally rose, as the uneven nature of the economic recovery and lack of inflationary pressures restrained the late-2013 rise in interest rates. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note declined 31 basis points, to close the quarter at 2.73%. High yield bonds returned 2.9% (as

measured by the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Cash-Pay Capped Index), as yield spreads tightened. European equities were generally positive, with the MSCI Europe Index advancing 2.2%, on signs of continuing economic recovery in the region. In general, emerging markets stocks continued to lag those in developed markets, amid concerns over the U.S. Federal Reserve’s tapering of its bond-buying program, slowing growth in China and tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

The first quarter’s generally accommodative financial and capital markets allowed us to maintain our harvesting of profitable investments in our liquidating closed-end funds. Those realizations and ongoing interest and dividend income drove the $2.0 billion in distributions by our Distressed Debt and other closed-end funds, bringing their aggregate distributions for the trailing twelve months to $10.8 billion. As of March 31, 2014, our closed-end funds had produced an aggregate gross IRR of 19.9% on over $64 billion of drawn capital. Our AUM and management fee-generating AUM reached all-time highs, boosted by rising market values and net capital inflows. Although bargain-priced buying opportunities remained relatively scarce, particularly for our distress-oriented funds, we are finding attractive risk-adjusted investment opportunities in pockets of dislocation where a pullback of traditional lenders as well as a tightening financial regulatory environment have created a void of capital. These opportunities include a broad array of assets in Europe, commercial bank loan portfolios and shipping. We continue to capitalize on these and other opportunities through our existing funds and strategies, as well as our newer product offerings, including Strategic Credit, Real Estate Debt, Emerging Markets Opportunities, Emerging Markets Equities, European Private Debt and levered senior loan vehicles such as Oaktree Enhanced Income Fund, L.P. (“EIF”). New clients and new products were key elements of our asset growth, as approximately 45% of the $13 billion of gross capital raised within the last twelve months was for strategies and investment products that did not exist three years ago, and about one-third of the gross capital raised within the last twelve months was from clients new to Oaktree.

The continued strength in financial markets resulted in incentives created by 22 different funds across nine different investment strategies in the first quarter of 2014, and accrued incentives (fund level), net of associated incentive income compensation expense (“net accrued incentives (fund level)”), of $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2014. However, the prospect of near-term realizations from the March 31, 2014 net accrued incentives (fund level) balance is considerably lower than was the case from the year-ago balance as of March 31, 2013. Specifically, of the $1.2 billion in net accrued incentives (fund level) as of March 31, 2014, $444.9 million represented funds that as of that date were currently paying incentives, with the remainder arising from funds that, as of March 31, 2014, had not yet reached the stage of their cash distribution waterfall where we are entitled to receive incentive income, other than tax-related incentive distributions (which are not currently expected for the final three quarters of 2014). In contrast, as of March 31, 2013, the equivalent portion of net accrued incentives (fund level) that was paying incentives was $777.5 million.

OCM Opportunities Fund VIIb, L.P. (“Opps VIIb”) represented approximately four-fifths of the $444.9 million in net accrued incentives (fund level) as of March 31, 2014 attributable to funds currently paying incentives. Historically, a closed-end fund’s incentive distributions tend to become more sporadic, lumpier and/or smaller in size, and its holdings tend to become more concentrated and less liquid, as it progresses through its liquidation phase, such as is now the case for Opps VIIb, which had an NAV of $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2014, down from $5.4 billion as of March 31, 2013. As a result, due to the $332.6 million decline in net accrued incentives (fund level) attributable to funds currently paying incentives over the last twelve months and the fact that approximately four-fifths of that smaller balance was represented by a fund whose incentive distributions would normally be expected to decline in frequency and/or size, for the remainder of 2014 we would expect significantly less net incentive income, and thus lower adjusted net income and distributable earnings, to arise from the net accrued incentives (fund level) balance as of the end of the first quarter than was the case for the last three quarters of 2013 from the March 31, 2013 net accrued incentives (fund level) balance.

Understanding Our Results—Consolidation of Oaktree Funds

GAAP requires that we consolidate substantially all of our closed-end, commingled open-end and evergreen funds in our financial statements, notwithstanding the fact that our equity investments in those funds do not typically exceed 2.5% of any fund’s interests. Consolidated funds consist of those funds and CLOs in which we hold a general partner interest or otherwise that give us substantive control rights over such funds. With respect to our consolidated funds, we generally have operational discretion and control over the funds, and investors do not hold any substantive rights that would enable them to impact the funds’ ongoing governance and operating activities. The funds that we manage that were not consolidated, primarily separately managed accounts, represented 36% of our AUM as of March 31, 2014, and 21% and 8% of our segment management fees and segment revenues, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

We do not consolidate OCM/GFI Power Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (“Power Fund II”) because we do not control this fund through a majority voting interest or otherwise. Power Fund II has two general partners—one is an entity controlled by Oaktree and the other is an entity controlled by G3W Ventures LLC (formerly, GFI Energy Ventures LLC), a third-party investment manager. The general partners have equal voting rights; consequently, neither general partner is deemed to individually control the fund.

When a fund is consolidated, we reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the fund on a gross basis, and the majority of the economic interests in those funds, which are held by third-party investors, are attributed to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All of the management fees and incentive income earned by us from those funds are eliminated in consolidation. However, because the eliminated amounts are earned from and funded by non-controlling interests, our attributable share of the net income from those funds is increased by the amounts eliminated. Thus, the elimination of these amounts in consolidation has no effect on either net income or loss attributable to us.

The elimination of consolidated funds from our consolidated revenues means that going forward consolidated revenues are expected to be significantly impacted by fund flows and fluctuations in the market value of our separately managed accounts because they are not consolidated. Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report includes information regarding our segment on a stand-alone basis. For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affect the results of operations of our segment, please see “—Segment Analysis” below.

Revenues

Our business generates three types of segment revenue: management fees, incentive income and investment income. Management fees are billed monthly or quarterly based on annual rates and are typically earned for each of the funds that we manage. The contractual terms of management fees generally vary by fund structure. Management fees also include performance-based revenues earned from certain open-end and evergreen fund accounts and CLOs. We also have the opportunity to earn incentive income from most of our closed-end funds and certain evergreen funds. Our closed-end funds generally provide that we receive incentive income only after our investors receive the return of all of their contributed capital plus an annual preferred return, typically 8%. Once this occurs, we generally receive as incentive income 80% of all distributions otherwise attributable to our investors, and those investors receive the remaining 20% until we have received, as incentive income, 20% of all such distributions in excess of the contributed capital from the inception of the fund. Thereafter, provided the preferred return continues to be met, all such future distributions attributable to our investors are distributed 80% to those investors and 20% to us as incentive income. Our third segment revenue source, investment income, represents our pro-rata share of income or loss from our investments, generally in our capacity as general partner in our funds and as an investor in third-party managed funds and companies. Our consolidated revenues exclude investment income, which is presented within the other income (loss) section of our consolidated statements of operations. Please see “Business—Structure and Operation of Our Business—Structure of Funds” in our annual report for a detailed discussion of the structure of our funds.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits reflects all compensation-related items not directly related to incentive income, investment income or the vesting of OCGH and Class A units, including salaries, bonuses, compensation based on management fees or a definition of profits, employee benefits, and liability-based awards subject to vesting and remeasurement at the end of each reporting period (“phantom equity plan expense”).

Equity-based Compensation

Equity-based compensation reflects the non-cash charge associated with grants of Class A and OCGH units. The non-cash compensation expense for units granted before and after our initial public offering is recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Adjusted net income, however, excludes non-cash equity-based compensation expense for units granted before our initial public offering (please see “—Segment and Operating Metrics—Adjusted Net Income” below). As of March 31, 2014, there was $69.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unit grants made before our initial public offering that we expect to recognize in our condensed consolidated financial statements over their weighted average remaining vesting period of 5.2 years. As of March 31, 2014, there was an additional $93.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unit grants made after our initial public offering that we expect to recognize in both our condensed consolidated financial

statements and adjusted net income over these units’ weighted average vesting period of approximately 5.3 years, as shown below. These amounts are subject to increase as a result of future unit grants, and subject to change as a result of possible modifications to award terms or changes in estimated forfeiture rates.



Non-cash Charge to ANI from Equity-based Compensation	Last Nine Months of 2014		2015		2016		2017		2018		Thereafter		Total
	(in millions)
Estimated charge from grants through March 2014	$	15.6	$	21.4	$	21.5	$	17.5	$	5.8	$	11.5	$	93.3

Incentive Income Compensation

Incentive income compensation expense primarily includes compensation directly related to segment incentive income, which generally consists of percentage interests (sometimes referred to as “points”) that we grant to our investment professionals associated with the particular fund that generated the segment incentive income, and secondarily includes compensation directly related to investment income. There is no fixed percentage for this compensation, either by fund or strategy. In general, within a particular strategy more recent funds have a higher percentage of aggregate incentive income compensation expense than do older funds. The percentage that consolidated incentive income compensation expense represents of the particular period’s consolidated incentive income is not meaningful because of the fact that most segment incentive income is eliminated in consolidation, whereas no incentive income compensation expense is eliminated in consolidation. For a meaningful percentage relationship, please see “—Segment Analysis” below.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include costs related to occupancy, outside auditors, tax professionals, legal advisers, consultants, travel and entertainment, communications and information services, foreign exchange activity and other general operating items. These expenses are not borne by fund investors and are not offset by credits attributable to fund investors’ non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds. Until April 2012, we operated as a private company. As we have incurred additional expenses associated with being a public company, general and administrative expenses have increased as compared with periods before we became a public company. Examples of such expenses include insurance for our directors and officers and costs to comply with SEC reporting requirements, stock exchange listing standards, the Dodd-Frank Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense includes costs associated with the purchase of furniture and equipment, capitalized software, and leasehold improvements. Furniture and equipment and capitalized software costs are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is generally three-to-five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the respective estimated useful life or the lease term.

Consolidated Fund Expenses

Consolidated fund expenses consist primarily of costs incurred by our consolidated funds, including travel expenses, professional fees, research expenses and other costs associated with administering these funds. Inasmuch as most of these fund expenses are borne by third-party fund investors, they are offset by credits attributable to the fund investors’ non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds.

Other Income (Loss)

Interest Expense

Interest expense reflects the interest expense of Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries, as well as interest expense of the consolidated funds.

Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income consists of interest and dividend income earned on the investments held by our consolidated funds, the consolidated funds’ net operating income from real estate-related activities and interest income earned by Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries.

Net Realized Gain on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

Net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments consists of realized gains and losses arising from dispositions of investments held by our consolidated funds.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

Net change in unrealized appreciation on consolidated funds’ investments reflects, for our consolidated funds, both unrealized gains and losses on investments and the reversal upon disposition of investments of unrealized gains and losses previously recognized for those investments.

Investment Income

Investment income represents our pro-rata share of income or loss from our investments, generally in our capacity as general partner in our funds and as an investor in third-party managed funds and companies.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net primarily reflects the settlement of an arbitration award we received relating to a former Principal and portfolio manager of our real estate group who left us in 2005. Additionally, the three months ended March 31, 2014 included the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the refinancing of our corporate credit facility.

Income Taxes

Oaktree is a publicly traded partnership that meets the qualifying income exception, allowing it to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is not taxable as a corporation. Oaktree Holdings, Inc. and Oaktree AIF Holdings, Inc., which are two of our five Intermediate Holding Companies and wholly owned subsidiaries, are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. The remainder of Oaktree’s income is generally not subject to corporate-level taxation.

Oaktree’s effective tax rate is directly impacted by the proportion of Oaktree’s income subject to tax compared to income not subject to tax. Oaktree’s non-U.S. income or loss before taxes is generally not significant in relation to total pre-tax income or loss and is generally more predictable because, unlike U.S. pre-tax income, it is not significantly impacted by unrealized gains or losses. Non-U.S. tax expense typically comprises a disproportionately large percentage of total income tax expense because nearly all of our non-U.S. income or loss is subject to corporate-level income tax, whereas a substantial portion of our U.S. income or loss is not subject to corporate-level taxes. In addition, changes in the proportion of non-U.S. pre-tax income to total pre-tax income impact Oaktree’s effective tax rate to the extent non-U.S. rates differ from the combined U.S. federal and state tax rate.

Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests represents the ownership interests that third parties hold in entities that are consolidated in our financial statements. These interests fall into two categories:

•

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Redeemable Interests in Consolidated Funds. This represents the economic interests of the unaffiliated investors in the consolidated funds, which interests are primarily driven by the investment performance of the consolidated funds. In comparison to net income, this measure excludes segment results, income taxes, expenses that OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly and the impact of equity-based compensation expense; and

•

Net Income Attributable to OCGH Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries. This represents the economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group owned by OCGH, which interest is determined at the Oaktree Operating Group level based on the weighted average proportionate share of Oaktree Operating Group units held by the OCGH unitholders. Inasmuch as the number of outstanding Oaktree Operating Group units corresponds with the total number of outstanding OCGH units and Class A units, changes in the economic interest held by the OCGH unitholders are driven by

our additional issuances of OCGH units and our issuance, if any, of additional Class A units, as well as repurchases and forfeitures of OCGH units and Class A units. Certain of our expenses, such as income tax and related administrative expenses of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and its Intermediate Holding Companies, are solely attributable to the Class A unitholders. Please see note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for additional information on the economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group owned by OCGH.

Segment and Operating Metrics

Our business is comprised of one segment, our investment management segment, which consists of the investment management services that we provide to our clients. Management makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of our business based on financial and operating metrics and data that are presented without the consolidation of any funds. For a detailed reconciliation of the segment results of operations to our condensed consolidated statements of operations, please see “—Segment Analysis” below and the “Segment Reporting” note to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. The data most important to our chief operating decision maker in assessing our performance are adjusted net income, adjusted net income-OCG, distributable earnings, distributable earnings-OCG, fee-related earnings and fee-related earnings-OCG.

We monitor certain operating metrics that are either common to the alternative asset management industry or that we believe provide important data regarding our business. As described below, these operating metrics include assets under management, management fee-generating assets under management, incentive-creating assets under management, incentives created (fund level), accrued incentives (fund level) and uncalled capital commitments.

Adjusted Net Income

Our chief operating decision maker uses adjusted net income (“ANI”) as a tool to help evaluate the financial performance of, and make resource allocations and other operating decisions for, our segment. The components of revenues and expenses used in the determination of ANI do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. In addition, ANI excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) income taxes, (c) other income or expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (d) the adjustment for the OCGH non-controlling interest. Incentive income and incentive income compensation expense are included in ANI when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, which may be later than the time at which the same revenue or expense is included in the GAAP-basis statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is fixed or determinable and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. ANI is calculated at the Operating Group level.

Among other factors, our accounting policy for recognizing incentive income and inclusion of non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering will likely make our calculation of ANI not directly comparable to economic net income (“ENI”) or other similarly named measures of other asset managers.

We calculate adjusted net income-OCG, or adjusted net income per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of ANI attributable to their ownership. Adjusted net income-OCG represents ANI including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) other income or expenses, such as income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) any Oaktree Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. Two of our Intermediate Holding Companies incur U.S. federal and state income taxes for their share of Operating Group income. Generally, those two corporate entities hold an interest in the Operating Group’s management fee-generating assets and a small portion of its incentive and investment income-generating assets. As a result, historically our fee-related earnings generally have been subject to corporate-level taxation, and most of our incentive income and investment income generally has not been subject to corporate-level taxation. Thus, the blended effective tax rate has generally tended to be higher to the extent that fee-related earnings represented a larger proportion of our ANI. Myriad other factors affect income tax expense and the effective tax rate, and there can be no assurance that this historical relationship will continue going forward.

Distributable Earnings

Our chief operating decision maker uses distributable earnings as a tool to help evaluate the financial performance of, and make resource allocations and other operating decisions for, our segment. Distributable earnings is a non-GAAP performance measure derived from our segment results that we use to measure our earnings at the Operating Group level without the effects of the consolidated funds for the purpose of, among other things, assisting in the determination of equity distributions from the Operating Group. However, the declaration, payment and determination of the amount of equity distributions, if any, is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, which may change our distribution policy at any time.

In accordance with GAAP, certain of our funds are consolidated into our condensed consolidated financial statements, notwithstanding the fact that we typically have only a minority economic interest in these funds. Consequently, our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of our consolidated funds on a gross basis. In addition, our segment results include investment income (loss), which under the equity method of accounting represents our pro-rata share of income or loss from our investments, generally in our capacity as general partner in our funds and as an investor in third-party managed funds and companies, and which is largely non-cash in nature. By excluding the results of our consolidated funds and segment investment income or loss, which are not directly available to fund our operations or make equity distributions, and including the portion of distributions from Oaktree and non-Oaktree funds to us that represents the income or loss component of the distributions and not a return of our capital contributions, as well as distributions from our investments in companies, distributable earnings aids us in measuring amounts that are actually available to meet our obligations under the tax receivable agreement and our liabilities for expenses incurred at OCG and the Intermediate Holding Companies, as well as for distributions to Class A and OCGH unitholders.

Distributable earnings differs from ANI in that it excludes segment investment income or loss and includes the receipt of investment income or loss from distributions by our investments in funds and companies. In addition, distributable earnings differs from ANI in that it is net of Operating Group income taxes and excludes non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering. In contrast to the GAAP measure of net income or loss attributable to OCG, distributable earnings also excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) income taxes and expenses that OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies bear directly and (c) the adjustment for the OCGH non-controlling interest.

Distributable earnings-OCG, or distributable earnings per Class A unit, is a non-GAAP measure calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of distributable earnings attributable to their ownership. Distributable earnings-OCG represents distributable earnings including the effect of (a) OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) expenses, such as current income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) amounts payable under the tax receivable agreement. The income tax expense included in distributable earnings-OCG represents the implied current provision for income taxes calculated using an approach similar to that which is used in calculating the income tax provision for adjusted net income-OCG.

Fee-related Earnings

Fee-related earnings is a non-GAAP measure that we use to monitor the baseline earnings of our business. Fee-related earnings is comprised of segment management fees less segment operating expenses other than incentive income compensation expense and, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2013 (with retrospective application), non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering. Fee-related earnings is considered baseline because it applies all cash compensation and benefits other than incentive income compensation expense, as well as all general and administrative expenses, to management fees, even though a significant portion of those expenses is attributable to incentive and investment income, and because it excludes all non-management fee revenue sources. Fee-related earnings is presented before income taxes.

Fee-related earnings-OCG, or fee-related earnings per Class A unit, is a non-GAAP measure calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of fee-related earnings attributable to their ownership. Fee-related earnings-OCG represents fee-related earnings including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) other income or expenses, such as income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. Fee-related earnings-OCG income taxes are calculated excluding any segment incentive income or investment income (loss).

Among other factors, the exclusion of non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering may make our calculations of fee-related earnings and fee-related earnings-OCG not directly comparable to similarly named measures of other asset managers.

Assets Under Management

AUM generally refers to the assets we manage and equals the NAV of the assets we manage, the fund-level leverage on which management fees are charged, the undrawn capital that we are entitled to call from investors in our funds pursuant to their capital commitments and the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by our CLOs. Our AUM includes amounts for which we charge no fees. Our definition of AUM is not based on any definition contained in our operating agreement or the agreements governing the funds that we manage. Our calculation of AUM and the two AUM-related metrics below may not be directly comparable to the AUM metrics of other asset managers.

•

Management Fee-generating Assets Under Management. Management fee-generating AUM is a forward-looking metric and reflects the AUM on which we will earn management fees in the following quarter. Our closed-end funds typically pay management fees based on committed capital or drawn capital during the investment period, without regard to changes in NAV, and during the liquidation period on the lesser of (a) total funded capital and (b) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund. The annual management fee rate remains unchanged from the investment period through the liquidation period. Our open-end and evergreen funds pay management fees based on their NAV, and our CLOs pay management fees based on the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by them, as defined in the applicable CLO indentures.

•

Incentive-creating Assets Under Management. Incentive-creating AUM refers to the AUM that may eventually produce incentive income. It represents the NAV of our funds for which we are entitled to receive an incentive allocation, excluding investments made by us and our employees and directors (which are not subject to an incentive allocation). All funds for which we are entitled to receive an incentive allocation are included in incentive-creating AUM, regardless of whether or not they are currently generating incentives. Incentive-creating AUM does not include undrawn capital commitments because they are not part of the NAV.

Accrued Incentives (Fund Level)

Our funds record as accrued incentives the incentive income that would be paid to us if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of the date of the financial statements. Incentives created (fund level) refers to the gross amount of potential incentives generated by the funds during the period. We refer to the amount of incentive income recognized as revenue by us as segment incentive income. Amounts recognized by us as incentive income are no longer included in accrued incentives (fund level), the term we use for remaining fund-level accruals.

The same performance and market risks inherent in incentives created (fund level) affect the ability to ultimately realize accrued incentives (fund level). One consequence of the accounting method we follow for incentives created (fund level) is that accrued incentives (fund level) is an off-balance sheet metric, rather than being an on-balance sheet receivable that could require reduction if fund performance suffers. We track accrued incentives (fund level) because it provides an indication of potential future value, though the timing and ultimate realization of that value are uncertain.

Incentives Created (Fund Level)

Incentives created (fund level), incentive income and accrued incentives (fund level) are presented gross, without deduction for direct compensation expense that is owed to our investment professionals associated with the particular fund when we earn the incentive income. We call that charge “incentive income compensation expense.” Incentive income compensation expense varies by the investment strategy and vintage of the particular fund, among other factors. In addition to incentive income compensation expense, the magnitude of the annual cash bonus pool is indirectly affected by the level of incentive income, net of its associated incentive income compensation expense. The total charge related to the annual cash bonus pool, including the portion attributable to our incentive income, is reflected in the financial statement line item “compensation and benefits.”

Incentives created (fund level) often reflects investments measured at fair value and therefore is subject to risk of substantial fluctuation by the time the underlying investments are liquidated. We earn the incentive income, if any, that the fund is then obligated to pay us with respect to our incentive interest (generally 20%) in the profits of

our unaffiliated investors, subject to an annual preferred return of typically 8%. Although GAAP allows the equivalent of incentives created (fund level) to be recognized as revenue by us under Method 2, we follow the Method 1 approach offered by GAAP. Our use of Method 1 reduces by a substantial degree the possibility that revenue recognized by us would be reversed in a subsequent period. For purposes of adjusted net income and distributable earnings, we recognize incentive income when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, as opposed to the fixed or determinable standard of Method 1. We track incentives created (fund level) because it provides an indication of the value for us currently being created by our investment activities and facilitates comparability with those companies in our industry that utilize the alternative accrual-based Method 2 for recognizing incentive income in their financial statements.

Uncalled Capital Commitments

Uncalled capital commitments represent undrawn capital commitments by partners (including Oaktree as general partner) of our closed-end funds in their investment periods and certain evergreen funds. If a closed-end fund distributes capital during its investment period, that capital is typically subject to possible recall, in which case it is included in uncalled capital commitments.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Revenues

Management Fees

Management fees decreased $2.1 million, or 4.9%, to $40.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $42.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease reflected $7.0 million in lower advisory, director, transaction and certain other ancillary fees for the benefit of our consolidated funds and $4.3 million in higher fees earned across our U.S. High Yield Bond, Emerging Markets Equity and Strategic Credit strategies. We reduce our management fees by the amount of advisory and other ancillary fees so that our funds' investors share pro rata in the economic benefit of the ancillary fees. Thus, in our condensed consolidated financial statements, these ancillary fees are treated as being attributable to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated entities and have no impact on the net income attributable to OCG.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits increased $4.6 million, or 4.9%, to $98.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $93.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily reflecting growth in headcount.

Equity-based Compensation

Equity-based compensation expense increased $2.7 million, or 41.5%, to $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase reflected non-cash amortization expense associated with vesting of restricted unit grants made to employees and directors subsequent to our initial public offering in April 2012.

Incentive Income Compensation

Incentive income compensation expense decreased $38.8 million, or 29.8%, to $91.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $130.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. After adjusting the 2013 quarter's expense for its benefit from the 2011 acquisition of a small portion of certain investment professionals' carried interest in Opps VIIb, the year-over-year change would have been a decrease of 37.1%. The decrease was larger than the 10.5% decline in segment incentive income principally as a result of timing differences associated with the recognition of segment incentive income and incentive income compensation expense. The remainder of the adjusted percentage difference was attributable to the fact that funds that generated segment incentive income in the current-year's first quarter had a higher average percentage of incentive income compensation expense than those that generated segment incentive income in the prior-year period.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $12.5 million, or 63.5%, to $32.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $19.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, general and administrative expenses increased $6.9 million, or 27.6%, to $31.9 million from $25.0 million. The increase reflected higher professional fees and costs associated with our 2014 bi-annual client conferences, corporate growth and continued investment in our operational infrastructure.

Consolidated Fund Expenses

Consolidated fund expenses increased $1.6 million, or 6.8%, to $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase reflected higher professional fees and administrative costs related to managing the funds.

Other Income (Loss)

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $12.4 million, or 106.9%, to $24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, attributable entirely to our consolidated funds.

Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income decreased $44.2 million, or 10.9%, to $362.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $406.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, attributable entirely to our consolidated funds. Among the consolidated funds, large portfolio realizations resulted in an aggregate $63.8

million of lower interest and dividend income for the Distressed Debt and Control Investing funds, while EIF generated $18.5 million in higher interest and dividend income.

Net Realized Gain on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

Net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments decreased $544.1 million, or 45.4%, to $654.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $1,198.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Of the $654.2 million net realized gain in the current-year period, $388.3 million was attributable to Distressed Debt funds, including $67.5 million from Opps VIIb, $175.1 million to Control Investing funds, and $27.3 million to Real Estate funds. Of the $1,198.3 million net realized gain in the prior-year period, $764.6 million was attributable to Distressed Debt funds, including $392.0 million from Opps VIIb, and $320.9 million to Control Investing funds.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

The net change in unrealized appreciation on consolidated funds’ investments decreased $251.0 million, or 24.6%, to $770.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $1,021.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Excluding the $544.1 million decrease in net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments, the net change in unrealized appreciation on consolidated funds’ investments decreased $795.1 million, to $1,424.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $2,219.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Of the $1,424.6 million net gain in the current-year period, $701.6 million was attributable to Distressed Debt funds, $435.3 million to Control Investing funds and $176.7 million to Real Estate funds. Of the $2,219.8 million net gain in the prior-year period, $1,542.8 million was attributable to Distressed Debt funds, including $513.0 million from Opps VIIb, $395.6 million to Control Investing funds, and $183.3 million to Real Estate funds.

Investment Income

Investment income decreased $7.2 million, or 59.0%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease reflected $7.2 million in lower income from our investments in companies, primarily as a result of a market-value decline on our minority equity investment in China Cinda Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“Cinda”). Our one-fifth ownership stake in DoubleLine accounted for investment income of $9.6 million and $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which the portion attributable to performance fees was $1.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net decreased to an expense of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from an expense of $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The expense of $1.7 million in the current-year period reflected a $3.0 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the refinancing of our corporate credit facility, partially offset by $1.5 million of income attributable to proceeds received as part of an arbitration award in 2010 related to a former Principal and portfolio manager of our real estate group who left us in 2005. The expense of $20,000 in the prior-year period reflected the net results of operating the portfolio of properties received as part of the 2010 arbitration award.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased $2.2 million, or 21.6%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease resulted from lower income before income taxes related to Class A unitholders and a lower estimated full-year effective tax rate. The effective tax rate related to Class A unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 11% and 12%, respectively. The effective tax rate used for interim fiscal periods is based on the estimated full-year income tax rate and is a function of the mix of income and other factors that often vary significantly within or between years, each of which can have a material impact on the particular year’s income tax expense. Please see “—Understanding Our Results—Consolidation of Oaktree Funds.”

Net Income Attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC

Net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC decreased $5.8 million, or 10.1%, to $51.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $57.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease reflected lower segment revenues and higher segment expenses, partially offset by a larger allocation of income to OCG as a result of an increase in the average number of Class A units outstanding during each period.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Redeemable Interests in Consolidated Funds

Net income attributable to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds decreased $739.2 million, or 35.8%, to $1,324.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $2,064.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, reflecting lower interest and dividend income and lower net gains on investments. These effects are described in more detail under “—Other Income (Loss)” above.

Our business is comprised of one segment, our investment management segment, which consists of the investment management services that we provide to our clients. The components of revenues and expenses used in determining adjusted net income do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. In addition, adjusted net income excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) income taxes, (c) other income or expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (d) the adjustment for the OCGH non-controlling interest. Incentive income and incentive income compensation expense are included in adjusted net income when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, which may be later than the time at which the same revenue or expense is included in the GAAP-basis statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is fixed or determinable and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. Adjusted net income is calculated at the Operating Group level. For a detailed description of our segment and operating metrics, please see “—Segment and Operating Metrics” above.


(2)	Interest income was $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(3)

Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2013, the definition of fee-related earnings was modified to exclude non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering in April 2012. Prior periods have been recast to retroactively reflect this change. Those non-cash compensation charges amounted to $0.7 million, or less than $0.01 per Class A unit, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Operating Metrics

We monitor certain operating metrics that are either common to the alternative asset management industry or that we believe provide important data regarding our business. These operating metrics include assets under management, management fee-generating assets under management, incentive-creating assets under management, incentives created (fund level), accrued incentives (fund level) and uncalled capital commitments.

(1)	These amounts represent new capital commitments to funds that pay fees based on committed capital and the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash associated with our CLOs.

(2)

For most closed-end funds, management fees are charged during the liquidation period on the lesser of (a) total funded capital and (b) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund, with the cost basis of assets generally calculated by excluding cash balances. Thus, changes in fee basis during the liquidation period are not dependent on distributions made from the fund; rather, they are tied to the cost basis of the fund’s investments, which generally declines as the fund sells assets.


(3)	These amounts represent distributions by funds that pay fees based on NAV and reductions in the par value of collateral assets and principal cash resulting from the repayment of debt by our CLOs.


(4)	The change in market value reflects certain funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable, and changes in the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by our CLOs resulting from other activities.

As compared with AUM, management fee-generating AUM generally excludes the following:


•	Differences between AUM and either committed capital or cost basis for most closed-end funds, other than for closed-end funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable;


•	Undrawn capital commitments to closed-end funds that have not yet commenced their investment periods;


•	Undrawn capital commitments to funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV;


•	The investments we make in our funds as general partner;


•	Closed-end funds that are beyond the term during which they pay management fees; and


•	AUM in restructured and liquidating evergreen funds for which management fees were waived.

A reconciliation of AUM to management fee-generating AUM is set forth below:

Incentive-creating Assets Under Management

Incentive-creating AUM is set forth below:



	As of
	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013		March 31, 2013
Incentive-creating Assets Under Management:	(in millions)
Closed-end funds	$	31,172	$	30,362	$	31,862
Evergreen funds	2,086		2,017		2,088
Total	$	33,258	$	32,379	$	33,950

As of March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the portion of incentive-creating AUM generating incentives at the fund level was $30.0 billion, $29.6 billion and $25.1 billion, respectively. Incentive-creating AUM does not include undrawn capital commitments.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

AUM grew $2.6 billion, or 3.1%, to $86.2 billion as of March 31, 2014, from $83.6 billion as of December 31, 2013. The increase reflected $2.4 billion of aggregate market-value gains, $1.3 billion of new capital commitments and $1.1 billion of net inflows to open-end funds, partially offset by $2.0 billion of distributions to closed-end fund investors. The $2.0 billion of distributions to closed-end fund investors included $1.2 billion by Distressed Debt funds, including $0.3 billion by Opps VIIb, and $0.6 billion by Principal Investing funds.

Management fee-generating AUM grew $2.0 billion, or 2.8%, to $74.0 billion as of March 31, 2014, from $72.0 billion as of December 31, 2013. The increase reflected $1.1 billion of net inflows to open-end funds, $1.1 billion of market-value gains in funds for which management fees are based on NAV, and $0.6 billion in new capital commitments, partially offset by a $0.9 billion decline attributable to asset sales by closed-end funds in liquidation.

Incentive-creating AUM grew $0.9 billion, or 2.8%, to $33.3 billion as of March 31, 2014, from $32.4 billion as of December 31, 2013. The increase reflected the net effect of $1.6 billion in drawdowns by closed-end funds, $1.4 billion in market-value gains in closed-end and evergreen funds, and $2.1 billion in distributions by closed-end funds.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

AUM grew $1.7 billion, or 2.2%, to $78.8 billion as of March 31, 2013, from $77.1 billion as of December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to $3.3 billion in aggregate market-value gains and $1.8 billion in new capital commitments and fee-generating leverage in our closed-end funds, partially offset by $3.2 billion in distributions by closed-end funds in liquidation. New capital commitments included $0.4 billion from Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund VI, L.P. (“ROF VI”) and $0.9 billion from EIF, including leverage. The $3.2 billion in aggregate distributions included $0.8 billion from Opps VIIb, $1.3 billion from other Distressed Debt funds and $0.8 billion from Control Investing funds.

Management fee-generating AUM decreased $0.4 billion, or 0.6%, to $66.4 billion as of March 31, 2013, from $66.8 billion as of December 31, 2012. The decrease reflected a $2.7 billion decline attributable to asset sales by closed-end funds in liquidation, largely offset by $1.0 billion in market-value gains in funds for which management fees are based on NAV and $1.3 billion of increases due to closings for ROF VI and drawdowns by EIF, including leverage. Opps VIIb accounted for $1.6 billion of the $2.7 billion decline from asset sales by closed-end funds in liquidation. As of March 31, 2013, Oaktree Opportunities Fund IX, L.P. (“Opps IX”) had made an initial 5% drawdown against its $5.0 billion of committed capital. The Company chose to not commence Opps IX's investment period until January 1, 2014; as a result, as of March 31, 2013 management fees were assessed only on its drawn capital, and management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of committed capital.

Incentive-creating AUM was $34.0 billion as of March 31, 2013, unchanged from December 31, 2012. The first quarter of 2013 reflected $3.0 billion in distributions by closed-end funds, offset by $2.1 billion in market-value gains and $0.8 billion in drawn capital. Opps VIIb represented $0.7 billion of the quarter's $3.0 billion in distributions.

Accrued Incentives (Fund Level) and Incentives Created (Fund Level)

Accrued incentives (fund level), net of associated incentive income compensation expense	$	1,215,523		$	1,347,018

As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the portion of net accrued incentives (fund level) represented by funds that were currently paying incentives was $444.9 million and $777.5 million, respectively, with the remainder arising from funds that as of that date had not yet reached the stage of their cash distribution waterfall where Oaktree was entitled to receive incentives, other than tax-related distributions.

As of March 31, 2014, 84% of the net accrued incentives (fund level) were in funds in their liquidation period or evergreen funds, and 49% of the assets underlying total net accrued incentives (fund level) were Level I or Level II securities. Please see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Investments, at Fair Value—Non-publicly Traded Equity and Real Estate Investments” for a discussion of the fair-value hierarchy level established by GAAP.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Incentives created (fund level) was $352.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, reflecting both the 90.3% share of our incentive-creating AUM that was creating incentives as of March 31, 2014 and the period's investment returns. The $352.4 million of incentives created (fund level) included $191.1 million from Control Investing funds and $117.8 million from Distressed Debt funds.

Incentives created (fund level) was $459.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, reflecting both the 73.8% share of our incentive-creating AUM that was creating incentives as of March 31, 2013 and the period's investment returns. Of the $459.7 million of incentives created (fund level), $106.7 million was attributable to Opps VIIb and $283.5 million arose from other Distressed Debt funds.

Uncalled Capital Commitments

As of March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, uncalled capital commitments were $12.0 billion, $13.2 billion and $11.2 billion, respectively.

(1)

This adjustment characterizes a portion of the distributions received from funds as receipts of investment income or loss. In general, the income or loss component of a fund distribution is calculated by multiplying the amount of the distribution by the ratio of our investment’s undistributed income or loss to our remaining investment balance. In addition, if the distribution is made during the investment period, it is generally not reflected in distributable earnings until after the investment period ends.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Distributable earnings decreased $61.9 million, or 21.0%, to $233.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $295.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, reflecting decreases of $41.9 million in incentive income, net of incentive income compensation expense, $12.0 million in investment income proceeds, and $7.2 million in fee-related earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, receipts of investment income totaled $31.1 million, including $21.7 million from fund distributions and $9.4 million from DoubleLine, as compared with total receipts in the prior-year period of $43.0 million, of which $34.0 million and $9.0 million was attributable to fund distributions and DoubleLine, respectively.

(1)	This adjustment eliminates our segment investment income, which with respect to investment in funds is initially largely non-cash in nature and is thus not available to fund our operations or make equity distributions.

(2)

This adjustment characterizes a portion of the distributions received from funds as receipts of investment income or loss. In general, the income or loss component of a distribution from a fund is calculated by multiplying the amount of the distribution by the ratio of our investment’s undistributed income or loss to our remaining investment balance. In addition, if the distribution is made during the investment period, it is generally not reflected in distributable earnings until after the investment period ends.


(3)	This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering, which is excluded from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations or make equity distributions.


(4)	This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences associated with the recognition of incentive income and incentive income compensation expense between adjusted net income and net income attributable to OCG. There were no adjustments attributable to timing differences for the three months ended March 31, 2013.


(5)	This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income because it does not affect our financial position and from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund operations or make equity distributions.


(6)	Because adjusted net income and distributable earnings are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.


(7)	Because adjusted net income and distributable earnings are calculated at the Operating Group level, this adjustment adds back the effect of items applicable to OCG, its Intermediate Holding Companies or the OCGH non-controlling interest.

The following table reconciles distributable earnings-OCG and adjusted net income-OCG to net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC:

(1)	Distributable earnings-OCG and adjusted net income-OCG are calculated to evaluate the portion of adjusted net income and distributable earnings attributable to Class A unitholders. These measures are net of income taxes and expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies.


(2)	This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges attributable to OCG related to unit grants made after our initial public offering, which is excluded from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations or make equity distributions.


(3)	This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences associated with the recognition of incentive income and incentive income compensation expense attributable to OCG between adjusted net income-OCG and net income attributable to OCG. There were no adjustments attributable to timing differences for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

(4)

This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation charges attributable to OCG related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income because it does not affect our financial position and from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations or make equity distributions.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Segment Revenues

Management Fees

A summary of management fees is set forth below:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
	(in thousands)
Management Fees:
Closed-end funds	$	137,038	$	139,048
Open-end funds	39,654		36,055
Evergreen funds	11,708		9,111
Total	$	188,400	$	184,214

Management fees increased $4.2 million, or 2.3%, to $188.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $184.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, for the reasons described below.

•

Closed-end funds. Management fees attributable to closed-end funds decreased $2.0 million, or 1.4%, to $137.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $139.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease primarily resulted from a $30.4 million decline in management fees from closed-end funds in their liquidation periods, of which Opps VIIb accounted for $11.0 million, declining from $19.3 million in the prior-year period to $8.3 million in the current-year period. Largely offsetting this decrease were increases of $19.7 million from the start of Opps IX's investment period on January 1, 2014, $5.5 million from new capital commitments to ROF VI, and $2.7 million from closed-end funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV.

•

Open-end funds. Management fees attributable to open-end funds increased $3.6 million, or 10.0%, to $39.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $36.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase reflected higher management fees as a result of net inflows to our Emerging Markets Equity and Senior Loan strategies, and market-value appreciation in our U.S. High Yield Bond strategy. These increases were partially offset by $1.7 million in lower performance-based fees in our U.S. Convertible Securities strategy.

•

Evergreen funds. Management fees attributable to evergreen funds increased $2.6 million, or 28.6%, to $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, principally reflecting drawdowns by Strategic Credit and market-value gains in Oaktree Value Opportunities Fund, L.P. The period-end weighted average annual management fee rate for evergreen funds decreased to 1.61% as of March 31, 2014, from 1.80% as of March 31, 2013, largely as a result of Strategic Credit, for which the average management fee rate is lower than is the case for other evergreen funds.

Incentive Income

A summary of incentive income is set forth below:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
	(in thousands)
Incentive Income:
Closed-end funds	$	292,830	$	325,491
Evergreen funds	46		1,693
Total	$	292,876	$	327,184

Incentive income decreased $34.3 million, or 10.5%, to $292.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $327.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The current-year period included $219.7

million of tax-related incentive distributions with respect to 2013 taxable income generated by closed-end funds, and $73.2 million of other incentive distributions, including $57.8 million from Opps VIIb. The prior-year period included an incentive distribution of $195.2 million from Opps VIIb and $113.4 million of tax-related incentive distributions with respect to 2012 taxable income generated by closed-end funds.

Investment Income

A summary of investment income is set forth below:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Income (loss) from investments in funds:	(in thousands)
Oaktree funds:
Corporate Debt	$	8,835		$	3,772

Non-Oaktree funds	923			2,076
Income from investments in companies	3,292			10,499
Total investment income	$	46,480		$	82,050

Investment income decreased $35.6 million, or 43.4%, to $46.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $82.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a quarter marked by particularly strong financial markets. Investments in companies accounted for $7.2 million of the decrease, primarily as a result of a market-value decline on our minority equity investment in Cinda. Our one-fifth ownership stake in DoubleLine accounted for investment income of $9.6 million and $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which the portion attributable to performance fees was $1.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Segment Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits increased $4.6 million, or 4.9%, to $98.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $93.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily reflecting growth in headcount.

Equity-based Compensation

Equity-based compensation increased to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase reflected non-cash amortization expense associated with vesting of restricted unit grants made to employees and directors subsequent to our initial public offering in April 2012.

Incentive Income Compensation

Incentive income compensation expense increased $7.5 million, or 5.8%, to $137.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $130.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. After adjusting the 2013 quarter's expense for its benefit from the 2011 acquisition of a small portion of certain investment professionals' carried interest in Opps VIIb, the year-over-year change would have been a decrease of 5.3%, which is more in line with the 10.5% decline in incentive income over the same period. The remainder of the adjusted percentage difference was attributable to the fact that funds that generated incentive income in the current-year's first quarter had a higher average percentage of incentive income compensation expense than those that generated incentive income in the prior-year period.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $6.6 million, or 27.5%, to $30.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, general and administrative expenses increased $6.9 million, or 27.8%, to $31.7 million from $24.8 million. The increase reflected higher professional fees and costs associated with our 2014 bi-annual client conferences, corporate growth and continued investment in our operational infrastructure.

Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income

Interest expense, net decreased $0.8 million, or 10.8%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, reflecting higher interest income and scheduled repayments of certain long-term debt.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income decreased $88.9 million, or 26.5%, to $246.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $335.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, reflecting decreases of $41.9 million in incentive income, net of incentive income compensation expense, $35.6 million in investment income, and $7.2 million in fee-related earnings.

Income Taxes-OCG

Income taxes decreased $2.1 million, or 25.3%, to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease resulted from lower adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes and a lower estimated full-year effective tax rate. The effective tax rate applied against adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 10% and 12%, respectively. The effective tax rate used for interim fiscal periods is based on the estimated full-year income tax rate and is a function of the mix of income and other factors that often vary significantly within or between years, each of which can have a material impact on the particular year’s income tax expense.

Segment Statements of Financial Condition

Since our founding, we have managed our financial condition in a way that builds our capital base and maintains sufficient liquidity for known and anticipated uses of cash. We have issued debt largely to help fund our corporate investments in funds and companies. We believe that debt maturities should generally match the anticipated sources of repayments. Because the largest share of our corporate investments in funds has been in closed-end funds with 10- to 11-year terms, we have often issued debt with 10-year terms, as augmented by bank term loans with shorter multi-year terms to capitalize on historically low interest rates and provide financing flexibility. Our segment assets do not include accrued incentives (fund level), an off-balance sheet metric, nor do they reflect the fair-market value of our 20% interest in DoubleLine, which is carried at cost, as adjusted under the equity method of accounting. For a reconciliation of segment total assets to our consolidated total assets, please see the “Segment Reporting” note to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We manage our liquidity and capital requirements by focusing on our cash flows before the consolidation of our funds and the effect of normal changes in short-term assets and liabilities. Our primary cash flow activities on an unconsolidated basis involve (a) generating cash flow from operations, (b) generating income from investment activities, including strategic investments in certain third parties, (c) funding capital commitments that we have made to our funds, (d) funding our growth initiatives, (e) distributing cash flow to our owners and (f) borrowings, interest payments and repayments under credit agreements, our senior notes and other borrowing arrangements. As of March 31, 2014, we had $923.9 million of cash and investments in U.S. Treasury and government-agency securities and $610.7 million in outstanding debt. Additionally, we have a $500 million revolving credit facility available to us, which was undrawn as of March 31, 2014. Oaktree’s investments in funds and companies had a carrying value of $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2014.

Ongoing sources of cash, or distributable earnings, include (a) management fees, which are collected monthly or quarterly, (b) incentive income, which is volatile and largely unpredictable as to amount and timing, and (c) distributions related to our corporate investments in funds and companies. As of March 31, 2014, corporate investments of $1.4 billion included unrealized investment income of $393 million. We primarily use cash flow from operations and distributions from our corporate investments to pay compensation and related expenses, general and administrative expenses, income taxes, debt service, capital expenditures and distributions. This same cash flow, together with proceeds from equity and debt issuances, is also used to fund corporate investments, fixed assets and other capital items. If cash flow from operations were insufficient to fund distributions, we expect that we would suspend paying such distributions.

We use distributable earnings, which is derived from our segment results, to assess performance and assist in the determination of equity distributions from the Operating Group. Our quarterly distributable earnings may be affected by potential seasonal factors that may, in turn, affect the level of the cash distributions applicable to a particular quarter. For example, we generally receive tax-related incentive distributions from certain closed-end funds in the first quarter of the year, which if received generate distributable earnings in that period. The distribution amount for any given period is likely to vary materially due to this and other factors.

Tax distributions are not required in respect of the Class A units and are only required from the Oaktree Operating Group entities if and to the extent that there is sufficient cash available for distribution. Accordingly, if there were insufficient cash flow from operations to fund quarterly or tax distributions by the Oaktree Operating Group entities, we expect that these distributions would not be made. We believe that we have sufficient access to cash from existing balances, our operations and the revolving credit facility described below to fund our operations and commitments.

Consolidated Cash Flows

The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows include our consolidated funds, despite the fact that we typically have only a minority economic interest in those funds. The assets of consolidated funds, on a gross basis, are substantially larger than the assets of our business and, accordingly, have a substantial effect on the cash flows reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The primary cash flow activities of our consolidated funds involve:


•	raising capital from third-party investors;


•	using the capital provided by us and third-party investors to fund investments and operating expenses;


•	financing certain investments with indebtedness;


•	generating cash flows through the realization of investments, as well as the collection of interest and dividend income; and


•	distributing net cash flows to fund investors and to us.

Because most of our consolidated funds are treated as investment companies for accounting purposes, their investing cash flow amounts are included in our cash flows from operations. We believe that each of the consolidated funds and Oaktree has sufficient access to cash to fund their respective operations in the near term.

Significant amounts from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are discussed below.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $984.3 million in the first three months of 2014. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.3 billion for the first three months of 2013. These amounts included, for the first three months of 2014 and 2013, (a) net purchases of securities of the consolidated funds of $1.0 billion and net proceeds from maturities and sales of investments of the consolidated funds of $2.6 billion, respectively; (b) net realized gains on investments of the consolidated funds of $654.2 million and $1.2 billion, respectively; and (c) changes in unrealized gains on investments of the consolidated funds of $770.5 million and $1.0 billion, respectively.

Investing Activities

Investing activities provided $295.4 million and $17.8 million of cash in the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Investing activities were primarily driven by net U.S. Treasury and government-agency investment activities and net corporate investments in non-consolidated funds and companies. Net activity from purchases, maturities and sales of U.S. Treasury and government-agency securities reflected net proceeds of $316.0 million and $19.9 million for the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Corporate investments in funds and companies of $22.0 million and $2.0 million for the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively, consisted of the following:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
	(in thousands)
Investments in funds	$	165,525		$	52,238
Investments in consolidated funds eliminated in consolidation	(147,969		)	(50,909		)
Investments in unconsolidated companies	4,481			628
Corporate investments in funds and companies	$	22,037		$	1,957

Distributions from corporate investments in funds and companies of $2.8 million and $8 thousand for the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively, consisted of the following:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
	(in thousands)
Distributions received from investments in funds	$	59,034		$	115,530
Distributions received from consolidated funds eliminated in consolidation	(56,259		)	(115,522		)
Distributions from corporate investments in funds and companies	$	2,775		$	8

Purchases of fixed assets were $1.3 million and $126 thousand for the first three months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Financing Activities

Financing activities provided $1.0 billion of cash in the first three months of 2014 and used $1.5 billion of cash in the first three months of 2013. For the first three months of 2014 and 2013, financing activities included (a) net distributions from consolidated funds to non-controlling interests of $120.4 million and $1.6 billion, respectively; (b) net borrowings on revolving credit facilities of the consolidated funds of $809.7 million and $338.4 million, respectively; (c) distributions to unitholders of $178.8 million and $184.4 million, respectively; (d) net proceeds of $30.5 million associated with the refinancing of our corporate credit facility and repayment of debt obligations of $6.3 million, respectively; and (e) purchases of OCGH units, net of issuance of Class A units, of $1.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Additionally, the current-year period included $497.6 million in proceeds from debt obligations issued by our CLOs.

Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity

We expect to continue to make distributions to our Class A unitholders pursuant to our distribution policy. In the future, we may also issue additional units or debt and other equity securities with the objective of increasing our available capital. In addition, we may, from time to time, repurchase our Class A units in open market or privately negotiated purchases or otherwise or redeem our Class A units pursuant to the terms of our operating agreement.

In addition to our ongoing sources of cash that include management fees, incentive income and fund distributions related to our corporate investments in funds and companies, we also have access to liquidity through our debt financings and credit agreements. We believe that the sources of liquidity described below will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

In March 2014, our subsidiaries Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., Oaktree Capital II, L.P., Oaktree AIF Investments, L.P. and Oaktree Capital I, L.P. entered into a credit agreement with a bank syndicate for senior unsecured credit facilities (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $250 million fully-funded term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $500 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), each with a five-year term. The Credit Facility replaced the amortizing term loan, which had a principal balance of $218.8 million, and the undrawn revolver under the Company's prior credit facility. The Term Loan matures in March 2019, at which time the entire principal amount of $250 million is due. Borrowings under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at a spread to either LIBOR or an alternative base rate. Based on the current credit ratings of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., the interest rate on borrowings is LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum and the commitment fee on the unused portions of the Revolver is 0.125% per annum. Utilizing interest-rate swaps, the majority of the Term Loan’s annual interest rate is fixed at 2.69% through January 2016 and 2.22% for the twelve months thereafter, based on our current credit ratings. The Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants and restrictions, including ones regarding a maximum leverage ratio of 3.0-to-1.0 and a minimum required level of assets under management (as defined in the credit agreement) of $50 billion. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with each of these covenants and were able to draw the full amount available under the Revolver without violating any financial covenants.

In December 2012, our subsidiaries Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., Oaktree Capital II, L.P., Oaktree AIF Investments, L.P. and Oaktree Capital I, L.P. entered into a credit agreement with a bank syndicate for senior unsecured credit facilities, consisting of a $250 million fully-funded term loan and a $500 million revolving credit facility, each with a five-year term. We were required to make quarterly principal payments equal to 2.5% of the original principal amount of $250 million, with principal payments due in March, June, September and December of each year, and the remaining principal payable upon maturity in December 2017. This credit facility was terminated

and replaced by the Credit Facility in March 2014, with proceeds from the Term Loan used to pay off the $218.8 million outstanding balance.

In November 2009, our subsidiary Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due December 2, 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). The indenture governing the 2019 Notes contains customary financial covenants and restrictions that, among other things, limit Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and the guarantors' ability, subject to certain exceptions, to incur indebtedness secured by liens on voting stock or profit-participating equity interests of their subsidiaries or merge, consolidate or sell, transfer or lease assets. The 2019 Notes do not contain financial maintenance covenants.

In addition to the 2019 Notes, as of March 31, 2014, we had three other series of senior notes outstanding, with an aggregate remaining principal balance of $110.7 million. These notes have aggregate principal repayments due of $10.7 million in June 2014 and $100 million in 2016. Note purchase agreements underlying these senior notes contain customary financial covenants and restrictions that, among other things, restrict our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness and our subsidiaries and us from merging, consolidating, transferring, leasing or selling assets, incurring certain liens and making restricted payments, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the agreements contain the following financial covenants: (a) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant that requires us and our subsidiaries to maintain a ratio, calculated by dividing consolidated total debt (for us and our subsidiaries) by Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in each agreement) for the last four fiscal quarters, below 3.0-to-1.0, (b) a maximum interest coverage ratio covenant that requires us and our subsidiaries to maintain a ratio, calculated by dividing Consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters by consolidated interest expense (for us and our subsidiaries), below 4.0-to-1.0, and (c) an assets under management covenant that requires us to maintain assets under management above $20 billion ($15 billion under one agreement). As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with each of these covenants.

We are required to maintain minimum net capital balances for regulatory purposes in the U.S. and certain non-U.S. jurisdictions in which we do business, which are met in part by retaining cash and cash-equivalents in those jurisdictions. As a result, we may be restricted in our ability to transfer cash between different jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2014, we were required to maintain approximately $16.0 million in net capital at these subsidiaries and were in compliance with all regulatory minimum net capital requirements as of such date.

Oaktree Holdings, Inc. and Oaktree AIF Holdings, Inc. have entered into a tax receivable agreement with OCGH unitholders that, as amended, provides for the payment to an exchanging or selling OCGH unitholder of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes that they actually realize (or are deemed to realize in the case of an early termination payment by Oaktree Holdings, Inc. or Oaktree AIF Holdings, Inc., or a change of control) as a result of an increase in the tax basis of the assets owned by the Oaktree Operating Group. These payments are expected to occur over the period ending in approximately 2029 with respect to the 2007 Private Offering and in 2034 with respect to our initial public offering.

On May 29, 2013, we issued and sold 8,050,000 Class A units in a public offering (the “May 2013 Offering”), resulting in $419.9 million in net proceeds to us, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. We did not retain any proceeds from the sale of Class A units in the May 2013 Offering, and we used the net proceeds from the May 2013 Offering to acquire interests in our business from certain Oaktree directors, employees and other investors, including certain Principals and other members of our senior management.

The exchange of OCGH units in connection with the May 2013 Offering resulted in increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the Oaktree Operating Group. As a result, we recorded a deferred tax asset of $134.4 million and an associated liability of $114.2 million for payments to OCGH unitholders under the tax receivable agreement, which together increased capital by $20.2 million. These payments are expected to occur over the period ending approximately in 2035.

On March 4, 2014, we issued and sold 5,000,000 Class A units to the underwriter in a public offering (the “March 2014 Offering”), resulting in $296.7 million in proceeds to us. We did not retain any proceeds from the sale of Class A units in the March 2014 Offering. The proceeds from the March 2014 Offering were used to acquire interests in our business from certain Oaktree directors, employees and other investors, including certain Principals and other members of our senior management.

receivable agreement, which together increased capital by $14 million. These payments are expected to occur over the period ending approximately in 2036.

No amounts were paid under the tax receivable agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

(1)	We lease our office space under agreements that expire periodically through 2022. The table includes only guaranteed minimum lease payments for these leases and does not project other lease-related payments. These leases are classified as operating leases for financial statement purposes and as such are not recorded as liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements.


(2)	Interest obligations include accrued interest on outstanding indebtedness. Where applicable, current interest rates are applied to estimate future interest obligations on variable-rate debt.


(3)	These obligations represent commitments by us to provide general partner capital funding to our funds and limited partner capital funding to funds managed by unaffiliated third parties. These amounts are generally due on demand and are therefore presented in the 2014 column. Capital commitments are expected to be called over the next five years.


(4)	These obligations represent commitments by our funds to make investments or fund uncalled contingent commitments. These amounts are generally due either on demand or by various contractual dates that vary by investment and are therefore presented in the 2014 column. Capital commitments are expected to be called over a period of several years.

In some of our service contracts or management agreements, we have agreed to indemnify third-party service providers or separate account clients under certain circumstances. The terms of the indemnities vary from contract to contract and the amount of indemnification liability, if any, cannot be determined and has neither been included in the above table nor recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, none of the incentive income we had recognized was subject to clawback by the funds.

General Partner and Other Capital Commitments

As of March 31, 2014, our capital commitments to our funds (as general partner or otherwise) and certain non-Oaktree investment vehicles for which a portion of the commitment remained undrawn were as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We lease a corporate airplane for business purposes. We are responsible for any unreimbursed costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation, crew, registration, maintenance, service and repair of the airplane. An unaffiliated third party manages the airplane and coordinates its use. The lease contains a buyout provision that would allow us to purchase the plane at the lease’s termination in February 2015. If we do not exercise that option, we would be responsible for any shortfall, up to $10.0 million, in sale proceeds the lessor might incur below an expected sale value of $12.3 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In applying many of these accounting principles, we need to make assumptions, estimates or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates or judgments, however, are both subjective and subject to change, and actual results may differ from our assumptions and estimates. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known. We believe our critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, please see the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report and the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our annual report. For a summary of our critical accounting policies, please see “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our annual report.

Recent Accounting Developments

Please see note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for information regarding recent accounting developments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to a broad range of risks inherent in the financial markets in which we participate, including price risk, interest-rate risk, access to and cost of financing risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and foreign exchange-rate risk. Potentially negative effects of these risks may be mitigated to a certain extent by those aspects of our investment approach, investment strategies, fundraising practices or other business activities that are designed to benefit, either in relative or absolute terms, from periods of economic weakness, tighter credit or financial market dislocations.

Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as general partner or investment adviser to our funds and the sensitivities to movements in the fair value of their investments on management fees, incentive income and investment income. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of our funds may fluctuate in response to changes in, among many factors, the value of securities, foreign exchange, commodities and interest rates.

Price Risk

Impact on Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation on Consolidated Funds’ Investments

As of March 31, 2014, we had investments at fair value of $42.5 billion related to our consolidated funds. We estimate that a 10% decline in market values would result in a decrease in unrealized appreciation on the consolidated funds’ investments of $4.3 billion. Inasmuch as this effect would be attributable to non-controlling interests, net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC would be unaffected.

Impact on Segment Management Fees

Management fees are generally assessed in the case of (a) our open-end funds and evergreen funds, based on NAV; and (b) our closed-end funds, based on committed capital or drawn capital during the investment period and, during the liquidation period, based on the lesser of (i) the total funded committed capital and (ii) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund. Management fees are affected by short-term changes in market values to the extent they are based on NAV, in which case the effect is prospective. We estimate that for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an incremental 10% decline in market values of the investments held in our funds would result in an approximate $5.8 million decrease in management fees. These estimated effects are without regard to a number of factors that would be expected to increase or decrease the magnitude of the change to degrees that are not readily quantifiable, such as the use of leverage facilities in certain of our funds or the timing of fund flows.

Impact on Segment Incentive Income

Incentive income is recognized only when it is known or knowable, which in the case of (a) our closed-end funds generally occurs only after all contributed capital and an annual preferred return on that capital (typically 8%)

have been distributed to the fund’s investors and (b) our active evergreen funds occurs generally as of December 31, based on the increase in the fund’s NAV during the year, subject to any high-water marks. In the case of closed-end funds, the link between short-term fluctuations in market values and a particular period’s incentive income is indirect at best and, in certain cases, non-existent. Thus, the effect on incentive income of an incremental 10% decline in market values as of March 31, 2014 is not readily quantifiable. Over a number of years, a decline in market values would be expected to cause a decline in incentive income.

Impact on Segment Investment Income

Investment income or loss arises from our pro-rata share of income or loss from our investments, generally in our capacity as general partner in our funds and third-party managed funds or companies. This income is directly affected by changes in market risk factors. We estimate that for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an incremental 10% decline in fair values of the investments held in our funds and other holdings would result in a $121.5 million decrease in investment income. These estimated effects are without regard to a number of factors that would be expected to increase or decrease the magnitude of the change to degrees that are not readily quantifiable, such as the use of leverage facilities in certain of our funds, the timing of fund flows or the timing of new investments or realizations.

Exchange-rate Risk

Our business is affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar currencies in the case of (a) management fees that vary based on the NAV of our funds that hold investments denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies, (b) management fees received in non-U.S. dollar currencies, (c) operating expenses for our foreign offices that are denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies and (d) cash balances we hold in non-U.S. dollar currencies. We manage our exposure to exchange-rate risks through our regular operating activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative instruments.

We estimate that for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a 10% decline in the average rate of exchange of the U.S. dollar would result in the following approximate effects on our segment results:


•	our management fees (relating to (a) and (b) above) would have increased by $3.0 million;


•	our operating expenses would have increased by $3.6 million;


•	OCGH interest in net income of consolidated subsidiaries would have decreased by $0.4 million; and


•	our income tax expense would not have been materially affected.

These movements would not have materially affected our net income attributable to OCG.

At any point in time, some investments held in the closed-end and evergreen funds are carried in non-U.S. dollar currencies on an unhedged basis. Changes in currency rates could affect incentive income, incentives created (fund level) and investment income for closed-end and evergreen funds, although the degree of impact is not readily determinable because of the many indirect effects that currency movements may have on individual investments.

Credit Risk

We are party to agreements providing for various financial services and transactions that contain an element of risk in the event that the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In such agreements, we depend on the respective counterparty to make payment or otherwise perform. We generally endeavor to minimize our risk of exposure by limiting to reputable financial institutions the counterparties with which we enter into financial transactions. In other circumstances, availability of financing from financial institutions may be uncertain due to market events, and we may not be able to access these financing markets.

Interest-rate Risk

As of March 31, 2014, Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries had $610.7 million in debt obligations consisting of four senior notes issuances and a funded term loan. Each senior notes issuance accrues interest at a fixed rate. The funded term loan accrues interest at a variable rate; however, we entered into interest-rate swaps that effectively converted the majority of the term loan interest rate to a fixed rate through January 2017. As a result, we estimate that for the three months ended March 31, 2014, there would be no material impact to interest expense of Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries resulting from a 100-basis point increase in interest rates. Of the $923.9 million of aggregate segment cash and cash-equivalents and investments in U.S. Treasury and government-agency securities as of March 31, 2014, we estimate Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries would generate an

additional $9.2 million in interest income on an annualized basis as a result of a 100-basis point increase in interest rates.

Our consolidated funds have debt obligations that include revolving credit agreements, debt issued by our CLOs and certain other investment financing arrangements. These debt obligations accrue interest at variable rates, and changes in these rates would affect the amount of interest payments that we would have to make, impacting future earnings and cash flows. As of March 31, 2014, $3.6 billion was outstanding under these debt obligations. We estimate that interest expense relating to variable rates would increase on an annualized basis by $36.2 million in the event interest rates were to increase by 100 basis points.

As credit-oriented investors, we are also subject to interest-rate risk through the securities we hold in our consolidated funds. A 100-basis point increase in interest rates would be expected to negatively affect prices of securities that accrue interest income at fixed rates and therefore negatively impact net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds’ investments. The actual impact is dependent on the average duration of such holdings. Conversely, securities that accrue interest at variable rates would be expected to benefit from a 100-basis point increase in interest rates because these securities would generate higher levels of current income and therefore positively impact interest and dividend income. Inasmuch as these effects are attributable to non-controlling interests, net income attributable to OCG would be unaffected. In cases where our funds pay management fees based on NAV, we would expect our segment management fees to experience a change in direction and magnitude corresponding to that experienced by the underlying portfolios.

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 Managing Principal and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives.

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

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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

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

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On January 24, 2014, we granted 1,791 Class A Units to each of Ms. Marna Whittington, Mr. Robert Denham, Mr. Richard Masson and Mr. Jay Wintrob in consideration of their service as members of our board of directors for 2014.

Under our operating agreement, we are required to issue one Class B unit for each OCGH unit issued. Accordingly, on January 24, 2014, we issued 1,667,300 Class B units to OCGH.

No purchase price was paid by Messrs. Denham, Masson and Wintrob, Ms. Whittington or OCGH for these issuances. The issuances were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

(1)	Drawn capital reflects the capital contributions of investors in the fund, net of any distributions to such investors of uninvested capital.


(2)	Accrued incentives (fund level) excludes Oaktree segment incentive income previously recognized.


(3)	Unreturned drawn capital plus accrued preferred return reflects the amount the fund needs to distribute to its investors as a return of capital and a preferred return (as applicable) before Oaktree is entitled to receive incentive income (other than tax distributions) from the fund.

(4)

The internal rate of return (“IRR”) is the annualized implied discount rate calculated from a series of cash flows. It is the return that equates the present value of all capital invested in an investment to the present value of all returns of capital, or the discount rate that will provide a net present value of all cash flows equal to zero. Fund-level IRRs are calculated based upon the actual timing of cash contributions/distributions to investors and the residual value of such investor's capital accounts at the end of the applicable period being measured. Gross IRRs reflect returns before allocation of management fees, expenses and any incentive allocation to the fund's general partner. To the extent material, gross returns include certain transaction, advisory, directors or other ancillary fees (“fee income”) paid directly to us in connection with our funds' activities (we credit all such fee income back to the respective fund(s) so that our funds' investors share pro rata in the fee income's economic benefit). Net IRRs reflect returns to non-affiliated investors after allocation of management fees, expenses and any incentive allocation to the fund's general partner.


(5)	Multiple of drawn capital is calculated as drawn capital plus gross income and, if applicable, fee income before fees and expenses divided by drawn capital.

(6)

Legacy funds represent certain predecessor funds within the relevant strategy that have substantially or completely liquidated their assets, including funds managed by certain Oaktree investment professionals while employed at the Trust Company of the West prior to Oaktree's founding in 1995. When these employees joined Oaktree upon, or shortly after, its founding, they continued to manage the fund through the end of its term pursuant to a sub-advisory relationship between the Trust Company of the West and Oaktree.


(7)	The IRR is not considered meaningful (“nm”) as the period from the initial capital contribution through March 31, 2014 was less than one year.


(8)	In the fourth quarter of 2013, the investment period for Oaktree Principal Fund V, L.P. was extended for a one-year period until February 2015. However, management fees stepped down to the post-investment period basis effective February 2014.


(9)	Aggregate IRRs are based on the conversion of OCM European Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Oaktree European Principal Fund III, L.P. cash flows from Euros to USD using the March 31, 2014 spot rate of $1.38.

(10)

Due to the differences in allocations of income and expenses to this fund's two primary limited partners, the U.S. Treasury and Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P., a combined net IRR is not presented. Oaktree PPIP Fund, L.P. had liquidated all of its investments and made its final liquidating distribution as of December 31, 2013. Oaktree PPIP Fund, L.P., Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P. and its related feeder fund were dissolved as of December 31, 2013. Of the $2,322 million in capital commitments, $1,161 million related to the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P. The gross and net IRR for the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P. were 24.7% and 18.6%, respectively, as of December 31, 2013.


(11)	The fund's partnership interests are divided into Class A and Class B interests, with the Class A interests having priority with respect to the distribution of current income and disposition proceeds. The net IRR for Class A interests was 10.4% and Class B interests was 5.3%. The combined net IRR for Class A and Class B interests was 8.8%.


(12)	The fund's partnership interests are divided into Class A and Class B interests, with the Class A interests having priority with respect to the distribution of current income and disposition proceeds. The net IRR for Class A interests was 10.8% and Class B interests was 10.6%. The combined net IRR for the Class A and Class B interests was 10.7%.


(13)	The aggregate change in drawn capital for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2.2 billion.


(14)	Totals are based on the conversion of Euro amounts to USD using the March 31, 2014 spot rate of $1.38.


(15)	This includes Oaktree Enhanced Income Fund, L.P., Oaktree Loan Fund 2x, L.P., Oaktree Asia Special Situations Fund, L.P., CLOs, certain separate accounts and a non-Oaktree fund.


(16)	This excludes one separate account with management fee-generating AUM of $425 million as of March 31, 2014, which has been included as part of the Strategic Credit strategy within the evergreen funds table.
