RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES - NOTES
Note: See pages 36-38, Definitions and Dividend Policy.
(a)
This adjustment removes Transaction-Related andNon-Recurring Items, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items arise from corporate actions
including acquisitions, divestitures, Blackstone’s initial public offering, and non-recurring gains, losses, or other charges, if any. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation
charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs, gains or losses associated with these
corporate actions, and non-recurring gains, losses or other charges that affect period-to-period comparability and are not
reflective of
Blackstone’s operational performance.
(b)
This adjustment removes the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, which are excluded from
Blackstone’s segment presentation.
(c)
This adjustment reverses the effect of consolidating Blackstone Funds, which are excluded from
Blackstone’s segment presentation. This adjustment includes the elimination of Blackstone’s interest in these funds and the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated operating partnerships
held by non-controlling interests.
(d)
This adjustment removes Unrealized Performance Revenues on a segment basis. The Segment Adjustment
represents the add back of performance revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES - NOTES (CONT’D)
(j)
Taxes represent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision

This analysis reconciles the components of Total Segment Distributable Earnings (page 3) to their equivalent GAAP measures, reported on the
Consolidated Statement of Operations (page 26). Segment basis presents revenues and expenses on a basis that deconsolidates the investment funds Blackstone manages and excludes the amortization of intangibles, the expense of equity-based awards
and Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items.
(a)
Represents (1) the add back of net management fees earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds
which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of amounts attributable to the reimbursement of certain expenses by the Blackstone Funds and certain NAV-based fee arrangements, which
are presented on a gross basis under GAAP but as a reduction of Management and Advisory Fees, Net in the Total Segment measures.
(b)
Represents the add back of Performance Revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which
have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c)
Represents the removal of Transaction-Related andNon-Recurring Items that are not recorded in the Total Segment measures.
(d)
Represents the (1) removal of Transaction-Related andNon-Recurring Items that are not recorded in the Total Segment measures, (2) removal of amounts attributable to certain expenses that are reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds and certain NAV-based fee arrangements, which are presented on a gross basis under GAAP but as a reduction of Management and Advisory Fees, Net in the Total Segment measures, and (3) a reduction equal to an
administrative fee collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units which is accounted for as a capital contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in
Blackstone’s segment presentation.
(e)
Fee related performance compensation may include equity based compensation based on fee related
performance revenues.
(f)
Represents (1) the add back of Principal Investment Income, including general partner
income, earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated operating partnerships held bynon- controlling interests.
(g)
Represents (1) the add back of Interest and Dividend Revenue earned from consolidated
Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.

NOTES
Notes to page 3 - Blackstone’s
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Segment Earnings
§
BIP fee related performance revenues generally crystallize every three years. Excluding BIP’s 4Q’24 net fee related performance revenues, FRE would have been $1,237 million in 4Q’24 compared to $1,535
million in 4Q’25, resulting in year-over-year growth of 24%.
Notes to page 4 - Investment Performance and Net Accrued Performance
Revenues
§
The changes in carrying value, fund returns and composite returns presented throughout this presentation represent those of the applicable Blackstone Funds and not those of Blackstone.
§
Core+ appreciation represents a weighted average of BREIT’s per share appreciation, BEPIF’s per share appreciation, and BPP’s appreciation for the period. The returns are weighted based on the average
of BREIT’s monthly net asset values, BEPIF’s monthly net asset values, and the average of BPP’s net asset value.
§
Throughout this presentation, Secondaries reflects Strategic Partners and GP Stakes unless otherwise indicated. Results for the Secondaries business refer to the appreciation of the Strategic Partners funds and do not
include results for GP Stakes. Strategic Partners results are reported on a three-month lag from fund financial statements, which generally report underlying investments on a same-quarter basis, if available. As a result, the appreciation presented
herein does not include the impact of economic and market activity in the current quarter. Current market activity is expected to affect reported results in upcoming quarters.
§
Throughout this presentation, Infrastructure refers to our infrastructure-focused funds, including Blackstone Infrastructure Partners’ funds (“BIP”) and Blackstone Infrastructure Strategies
(“BXINFRA”). AUM, inflows, and related metrics for Infrastructure refer to BIP and the portion of BXINFRA assets that are managed in Infrastructure. Infrastructure appreciation represents a weighted average of BIP’s appreciation
and BXINFRA’s per share appreciation for the period. The returns are weighted based on the average of BIP’s quarterly net asset value and the average of BXINFRA’s monthly net asset values.
§
Private Credit returns include the Flagship commingled funds across the opportunistic lending, global middle market direct lending funds (including BXSL, BCRED, and ECRED strategies), stressed/distressed strategies, andnon-investment grade infrastructure and asset-based credit strategies. Separately managed accounts, funds with a limited number of limited partners that are not broadly marketed, inactive investment
strategies, unlevered funds within a strategy that has designated levered and unlevered sleeves, and Multi-Asset Credit strategies are excluded. Liquid Credit returns include CLOs, closed-ended funds, open-ended funds and separately managed
accounts. Only fee-earning funds exceeding $100 million of fair value at the beginning of each respective quarter-end are included. Funds in liquidation, funds
investing primarily in investment grade corporate credit and asset-based finance are excluded. Blackstone Funds that were contributed to Blackstone Credit as part of Blackstone’s acquisition of Blackstone Credit, formerly known as GSO, in
March 2008 and the pre-acquisition date performance for funds and vehicles acquired by Blackstone Credit subsequent to March 2008, are also excluded.
§
The Absolute Return Composite gross and net returns are based on the Multi-Asset Investing (“BXMA”) Absolute Return Composite, which includes only BXMA-managed commingled and customized multi-manager funds
and accounts and does not include BXMA’s liquid solutions group, seeding, multi-strategy, and advisory (non-discretionary) platforms, except for investments by Absolute Return funds directly into those
platforms. BXMA-managed funds in liquidation and, in the case of net returns, non fee-paying assets are also excluded. The funds/accounts that comprise the Absolute Return Composite are not managed within a
single fund or account and are managed with different mandates. There is no guarantee that BXMA would have made the same mix of investments in a stand-alone fund/account. The Absolute Return Composite is not an investible product and, as
such, the performance of the Absolute Return Composite does not represent the performance of an actual fund or account.

Balance Sheet Highlights
§
GP/Fund Investments include Blackstone investments in Real Estate, Private Equity, Credit & Insurance, and Multi-Asset Investing, which were $765 million, $1.6 billion, $428 million, and
$126 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. Cash and Net Investments per share amounts are calculated using period end DE Shares Outstanding (see page 24, Share Summary).
Notes to page 23 – Shareholder Dividends
§
DE before Certain Payables represents Distributable Earnings before the deduction for the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and tax expense (benefit) of wholly owned subsidiaries. Common shareholders receive tax
benefits from deductions taken by Blackstone’s corporate tax paying subsidiaries and bear responsibility for the deduction from Distributable Earnings of the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and certain other tax-related payables.
§
Per Share calculations are based on end of period Participating Common Shares (page 24, Share Summary); actual dividends are paid to shareholders as of the applicable record date.
§
Retained capital is withheld pro rata from common shareholders and Blackstone Holdings Partnership unitholders. Common shareholders’ share was $204 million for 4Q’25 and $648 million for
FY’25.

Segment Distributable Earnings, or “Segment DE”, is Blackstone’s segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and assess performance across
Blackstone’s four segments. Segment DE represents the net realized earnings of Blackstone’s segments and is the sum of Fee Related Earnings and Net Realizations for each segment. Blackstone’s segments are presented on a basis that
deconsolidates Blackstone Funds, eliminates non-controlling ownership interests in Blackstone’s consolidated operating partnerships, removes the amortization of intangible assets and removes
Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items. Segment DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss)
Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.
–
Net Realizations is presented on a segment basis and is the sum of Realized Principal Investment Income and Realized Performance Revenues (which refers to Realized Performance Revenues excluding Fee
Related Performance Revenues), less Realized Performance Compensation (which refers to Realized Performance Compensation excluding Fee Related Performance Compensation and Equity-Based Performance Compensation).
–
Segment Revenues represent Net Management and Advisory Fees, Fee Related Performance Revenues, Realized Performance Revenues and Realized Principal Investment Income.
§
Distributable Earnings, or “DE”, is derived from Blackstone’s segment reported results. DE is used to assess performance and amounts available for dividends to Blackstone
shareholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the Blackstone Holdings Partnerships. DE is the sum of Segment DE plus Net Interest and Dividend Income (Loss) less Taxes and Related Payables. DE excludes
unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.
–
Net Interest and Dividend Income (Loss) is presented on a segment basis and is equal to Interest and Dividend Revenue less Interest Expense, adjusted for the impact of consolidation of Blackstone
Funds, and interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.
–
Taxes and Related Payables represent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and including
the Payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Further, the current tax provision utilized when calculating Taxes and Related Payables and DE reflects the benefit of deductions available to the company on certain expense items that are excluded
from the underlying calculation of Segment DE and Total Segment Distributable Earnings, such as equity-based compensation charges and certain Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items where there is a
current tax provision or benefit. The economic assumptions and methodologies that impact the implied income tax provision are the same as those methodologies and assumptions used in calculating the current income tax provision for
Blackstone’s consolidated statements of operations under U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of divestitures and accrued tax contingency related liabilities or refunds which are reflected when paid or received. The Payable under the Tax
Receivable Agreement reflects the expected amount of tax savings generated in the period that holders of the Tax Receivable Agreements are entitled to receive in future periods. Management believes that including the amount payable under the
tax receivable agreement and utilizing the current income tax provision adjusted as described above when calculating DE is meaningful as it increases comparability between periods and more accurately reflects earnings that are available for
distribution to shareholders.
§
Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”, is a performance measure used to assess Blackstone’s ability to generate profits from revenues that are measured and received on a recurring
basis and not subject to future realization events. FRE equals management and advisory fees (net of management fee reductions and offsets) plus Fee Related Performance Revenues, less (a) Fee Related Compensation on a segment basis, and
(b) Other Operating Expenses. FRE is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY - (CONT’D)
–
Fee Related Compensation is presented on a segment basis and refers to the compensation expense, excluding Equity-Based Compensation, directly related to (a) Management and Advisory Fees, Net and
(b) Fee Related Performance Revenues, referred to as Fee Related Performance Compensation.
–
Fee Related Performance Revenues refers to the realized portion of Performance Revenues from Perpetual Capital that are (a) measured and received on a recurring basis, and (b) not dependent
on realization events from the underlying investments.
–
Other Operating Expenses is presented on a segment basis and is equal to General, Administrative and Other Expenses, adjusted to (a) remove the Transaction-Related andNon-Recurring Items that are not recorded in the Total Segment measures, (b) remove certain expenses reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds which are netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in
Blackstone’s segment presentation, and (c) give effect to an administrative fee collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units. The administrative fee is accounted for as a capital
contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in Blackstone’s segment presentation.
–
Perpetual Capital refers to the component of assets under management with an indefinite term, that is not in liquidation, and for which there is no requirement to return capital to investors through
redemption requests in the ordinary course of business, except where funded by new capital inflows or where required redemption requests are limited in quantum. Includes co-investment capital with an
investor right to convert into Perpetual Capital.
–
FRE Margin is calculated by dividing Fee Related Earnings by Fee Related Revenues (defined as the sum of Total Segment Management and Advisory Fees, Net and Fee Related Performance Revenues).
§
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or “Adjusted EBITDA”, is a supplemental measure used to assess performance derived from
Blackstone’s segment results and may be used to assess its ability to service its borrowings. Adjusted EBITDA represents Distributable Earnings plus the addition of (a) Interest Expense on a segment basis, (b) Taxes and Related
Payables, and (c) Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.
§
Performance Revenues collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fees, and (b) Performance Allocations.
§
Performance Compensation collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fee Compensation, and (b) Performance Allocations Compensation.
–
Performance Compensation reflects, pursuant to an ongoing compensation program, an increase in the aggregate Realized Performance Compensation paid to certain of our professionals above the amounts allocable to them
based upon the percentage participation in the relevant performance plans previously awarded to them. For the full year 2025, Fee Related Compensation was decreased by the total amount of additional Performance Compensation awarded for the year
resulting in no impact to Distributable Earnings for the full year. In 4Q’25 both Realized Performance Compensation and Fee Related Compensation decreased which favorably impacted Distributable Earnings for the quarter.
This program typically has an impact on individual quarters but does not impact Income Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and Distributable Earnings for the full year.
§
Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, Blackstone’s initial public offering, and non-recurring gains, losses, or other charges, if any. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in
the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs, gains or losses associated with these corporate actions, and non-recurring gains, losses
or other charges that affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of Blackstone’s operational performance.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY – (CONT’D)
Dividend Policy. Blackstone’s
intention is to pay to holders of common stock a quarterly dividend representing approximately 85% of Blackstone Inc.’s share of Distributable Earnings, subject to adjustment by amounts determined by Blackstone’s board of directors to be
necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and funds, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt instruments or other agreements, or to provide for future cash
requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and dividends to shareholders for any ensuing quarter. The dividend amount could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. All of the foregoing
is subject to the qualification that the declaration and payment of any dividends are at the sole discretion of Blackstone’s board of directors and our board of directors may change our dividend policy at any time, including, without
limitation, to reduce such quarterly dividends or even to eliminate such dividends entirely.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
