PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY SOFTBANK
On July 12, 2017, Fortress announced that, at its special
meeting of shareholders, the Company’s shareholders had voted,
among other things, in favor of the proposal to adopt the
previously announced merger agreement pursuant to which certain
subsidiaries of SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”) will acquire
Fortress for approximately $3.3 billion in cash. Of the votes cast
in respect of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement,
approximately 99.7% of shares voted in favor. The transaction is
anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to
certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing
conditions, after which Fortress will operate as an independent
business within SoftBank under the continuing leadership of
Fortress Principals Pete Briger, Wes Edens and Randy Nardone.
SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS
Fortress’s business model is highly diversified, and management
believes that this positions the Company to capitalize on
opportunities for investing, capital formation and harvesting
profits that can occur at different points in any cycle for our
individual businesses. Fortress’s business model generates stable
and predictable management fees, which is a function of the
majority of Fortress’s alternative AUM residing in long-term
investment structures. Fortress’s alternative investment businesses
also generate variable incentive income based on performance, and
this incentive income can contribute meaningfully to financial
results. Balance sheet investments represent a third component of
Fortress’s business model, and the Company has built substantial
value in these investments, which are made in Fortress funds
alongside the funds’ limited partners. The table below summarizes
Fortress’s operating results for the three months ended September
30, 2017. The condensed consolidated GAAP statement of operations
and balance sheet are presented on pages 10-11 of this press
release.

1 The Assets Under Management presented for Credit includes $1,371
million of AUM related to co-managed funds as of 3Q 2017. 2 The
Assets Under Management presented for Liquid Markets includes
$5,083 million of AUM related to the Affiliated Manager as of 3Q
2017. 3 Fortress sold the Logan Circle business in September 2017.
GAAP RESULTS
Fortress recorded GAAP net income of $190 million, or $0.37 per
diluted Class A share, for the third quarter of 2017, compared to
GAAP net income of $58 million, or $0.07 per diluted Class A share,
for the third quarter of 2016. Our diluted earnings per share
includes the income tax effects to net income (loss) attributable
to Class A shareholders from the assumed conversion of Fortress
Operating Group units to Class A shares in periods when the effect
is dilutive.
The year-over-year change in Fortress’s third quarter 2017 GAAP
net income was primarily driven by a $202 million increase in other
income, partially offset by a $40 million increase in income tax
expense, a $23 million increase in expenses and a $7 million
decrease in revenues.
The $202 million increase in other income was primarily due to
the completed sale of Logan Circle, which resulted in a gain on
sale of $189 million, net of selling expenses.
The $23 million increase in expenses was primarily related to
higher compensation and benefits expense.
The $7 million decrease in revenues was primarily related to
lower incentive income from non-affiliates, lower other revenues
and lower management fees from affiliates and non-affiliates,
partially offset by higher incentive income from affiliates.
SEGMENT RESULTS (NON-GAAP)
This section provides information about each of Fortress’s
businesses: (i) Credit Hedge Funds and Credit PE Funds, (ii)
Private Equity Funds and Permanent Capital Vehicles, (iii) Liquid
Hedge Funds, and (iv) Logan Circle. Fortress uses DE as the primary
metric to manage its businesses and gauge the Company’s
performance, and it uses DE exclusively to report segment results.
All DE figures are presented on a pre-tax basis. Consolidated
segment results are non-GAAP information and are not presented as a
substitute for Fortress’s GAAP results. Fortress urges you to read

4 The Assets Under Management presented for the Credit Hedge Funds
includes $1,371 million related to co-managed funds and $743
million related to the third party originated JP Funds and Value
Recovery Funds. The Assets Under Management presented for the
Liquid Hedge Funds includes $5,083 million related to the
Affiliated Manager. 5 The Average Management Fee Rate presented for
the Credit Hedge Funds excludes the co-managed funds and
third-party originated JP Funds and Value Recovery Funds (see
footnote 4 above). The Average Management Fee Rate presented for
the Liquid Hedge Funds excludes the Affiliated Manager. 6 The
Incentive Eligible NAV Above Incentive Income Threshold presented
for Credit Hedge Funds excludes co-managed funds, certain third
party originated funds and sidepocket investments and for Liquid
Hedge Funds, excludes the Affiliated Manager and sidepocket
investments. The Incentive Eligible NAV Above Incentive Income
Threshold presented for Private Equity Funds and Credit PE Funds
(except for a portion of Long Dated Value Fund I, whose capital was
above the incentive income threshold as of September 30, 2017),
represents total fund NAV. The Incentive Eligible NAV Above
Incentive Income Threshold presented for the Permanent Capital
Vehicles represents the equity basis that is used to calculate
incentive income. 7 Undistributed Incentive Income - Recognized
represents the results of the main fund investments for the Credit
Hedge Funds including the impact of realized gains and losses and
unrealized losses on sidepocket investments. Undistributed
Incentive Income - Unrecognized represents the results of the
Private Equity Funds, Credit PE Funds and Liquid and Credit Hedge
Fund sidepocket and redeeming capital account (RCA) investments
which have not been recognized in Distributable Earnings and will
be recognized when realized. The Undistributed Incentive Income
presented for the Credit Hedge Funds excludes co-managed funds and
certain third party originated funds and for Liquid Hedge Funds,
excludes the Affiliated Manager. Undistributed Incentive Income for
Credit PE Funds includes $5 million of net unrealized gains that
would have been recorded in Distributable Earnings if Fortress had
settled Japanese Yen foreign exchange derivative contracts used to
economically hedge estimated future incentive income it had
outstanding as of September 30, 2017. Undistributed Incentive
Income for Permanent Capital Vehicles includes $56 million of
incentive income that would have been recorded in Distributable
Earnings if Fortress had (i) exercised all of its in-the-money
options it holds in the Permanent Capital Vehicles and sold all of
the resulting shares, (ii) sold all of its Permanent Capital
Vehicle common shares which it received as incentive income and
(iii) sold all of its Permanent Capital Vehicle common shares which
it received from previously exercised Permanent Capital Vehicle
options, based on their respective September 30, 2017 closing
prices. 8 Includes Unallocated Expenses of $5 million incurred by
Fortress related to the proposed acquisition by SoftBank. 9
Includes Unallocated Investment Income of $1 million and
Unallocated Expenses of $2 million. 10 Fortress sold the Logan
Circle business in September 2017.
Pre-tax DE was $291 million in the third quarter of 2017, up
from $90 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to
higher investment income and incentive income, partially offset by
higher operating expenses and lower management fees.
Management fees were $131 million in the third quarter of 2017,
down from $136 million in the third quarter of 2016. The decrease
was primarily due to lower management fees from the Credit PE
Funds, Credit Hedge Funds, Logan Circle and Private Equity Funds,
partially offset by higher management fees from the Permanent
Capital Vehicles.
Incentive income in the third quarter of 2017 totaled $140
million, up from $113 million in the third quarter of 2016,
primarily due to higher incentive income from the Permanent Capital
Vehicles and Private Equity Funds, partially offset by lower
incentive income from the Credit PE Funds and Credit Hedge
Funds.
Earnings from the Affiliated Manager totaled $4 million in the
third quarter of 2017, up from $3 million in the third quarter of
2016.
The Company’s segment revenues and distributable earnings
will fluctuate materially depending upon the performance of its
funds and the realization events within its private equity
businesses, as well as other factors. Accordingly, the
revenues and distributable earnings in any particular period should
not be expected to be indicative of future results.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of September 30, 2017, AUM totaled $36.1 billion. As of
quarter end, approximately 85% of AUM was in funds with long-term
investment structures.
During the quarter, Fortress’s AUM decreased primarily due to
(i) the sale of Logan Circle which had $37.1 billion of AUM, (ii)
$2.1 billion of capital distributions to investors, (iii) $0.2
billion in distributions to investors in redeeming capital
accounts, and (iv) a $0.2 billion capital reset adjustment. These
decreases to AUM were partially offset by (i) $0.6 billion in
market-driven valuation gains, (ii) a $0.5 billion increase in the
AUM of the Affiliated Manager and co-managed funds, (iii) a $0.3
billion increase in invested capital, and (iv) $0.2 billion of new
capital raised that was directly added to AUM.
As of September 30, 2017, the Credit Funds and Private Equity
Funds had $6.9 billion and $0.6 billion of uncalled capital,
respectively, that will become AUM if called. Uncalled capital or
dry powder – capital committed to the funds but not invested and
generating management fees – includes $3.0 billion that is only
available for follow-on investments, management fees and other fund
expenses.
BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
Below is a discussion of third quarter 2017 segment results and
business highlights.
Credit:
- DBSO LP had third quarter and
year-to-date 2017 net returns of 2.0% and 5.6%,
respectively
- DBSO Ltd had third quarter and
year-to-date 2017 net returns of 2.6% and 5.8%,
respectively
- FCO, FCO II, FCO III, FJOF and FJOF
II (Yen) recorded annualized inception-to-date net IRRs of 22.9%,
15.6%, 10.3%, 27.7% and 27.8%, respectively, through September 30,
2017
- Nearly $1.2 billion of gross
embedded incentive income that has not yet been recognized in
DE
(See supplemental data on pages 17-18 for more detail on Credit
results)
The Credit business, which includes our Credit PE Funds and
Credit Hedge Funds, generated pre-tax DE of $45 million in the
third quarter of 2017, down from $68 million in the third quarter
of 2016. The year-over-year decrease in DE was primarily driven by
lower incentive income, partially offset by lower profit sharing
expense.
The Credit Hedge Funds generated pre-tax DE of $24 million for
the quarter, down from $36 million in the third quarter of 2016,
primarily due to lower incentive income. Fortress’s flagship credit
hedge fund, DBSO LP, had net returns of 2.0% for the quarter and
annualized inception to date net returns of 10.6% as of September
30, 2017.
The Credit PE Funds generated pre-tax DE of $21 million in the
quarter, compared to $32 million in the third quarter of 2016,
primarily due to lower incentive income. Over the last twelve
months, the Credit PE Funds have recognized $161 million of gross
incentive income, while gross unrecognized Credit PE incentive
income has increased $129 million year-over-year to $1.0 billion as
of September 30, 2017.
Private Equity and Permanent Capital Vehicles:
- Permanent Capital Vehicles generated
$58 million of incentive income in the quarter
- PE Fund valuations appreciated 3.2%
in the quarter
(See supplemental data on pages 15-16 for more detail on Private
Equity results)
The Private Equity business recorded pre-tax DE of $80 million
in the third quarter of 2017, up from $27 million in the third
quarter of 2016. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven
by higher incentive income and higher investment income.
The Permanent Capital Vehicles generated pre-tax DE of $46
million in the quarter, up from $14 million in the third quarter of
2016, primarily due to higher incentive income. The Private Equity
Funds generated pre-tax DE of $34 million, up from $13 million in
the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to higher investment
income and higher incentive income.
Liquid Hedge Funds:
- Earnings from the Affiliated Manager
totaled $4 million in the quarter
(See supplemental data on page 19 for more detail on Liquid
Hedge Funds results)
The Liquid Hedge Funds recorded pre-tax DE of $4 million in the
third quarter of 2017, up from a $5 million pre-tax DE loss in the
third quarter of 2016. The year-over-year increase was due to
higher earnings from the Affiliated Manager and lower operating
expenses.
Logan Circle:
- Completed the sale of Logan Circle
to MetLife
(See supplemental data on page 20 for more detail on Logan
Circle results)
Logan Circle recorded $168 million of pre-tax DE for the third
quarter of 2017, including $170 million of investment income
primarily related to the completed sale of Logan Circle to MetLife
in September 2017.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL
As of September 30, 2017, Fortress had cash and cash equivalents
of $666 million and debt obligations of $105 million.
As of September 30, 2017, Fortress had approximately $0.9
billion of investments in Fortress funds and options in publicly
traded permanent capital vehicles and a total of $183 million in
outstanding commitments to its funds. In addition, the NAV of
Fortress’s investments in its own funds exceeded its segment cost
basis by $507 million at quarter end, representing net unrealized
gains that have not yet been recognized for segment reporting
purposes.
DIVIDEND
In connection with the proposed merger between Fortress and an
affiliate of SoftBank, Fortress has contractually agreed that it
will not pay any dividends with respect to periods ending after
March 31, 2017 while the merger agreement remains in effect.
NON-GAAP INFORMATION
DE is a supplemental metric used by management to measure
Fortress’s operating performance. DE is a measure that management
uses to manage, and thus report on, Fortress’s segments, namely:
Private Equity, Permanent Capital Vehicles, Credit Hedge Funds,
Credit PE Funds, Liquid Hedge Funds and Logan Circle. DE
differs from GAAP net income in a number of material ways. For a
detailed description of the calculation of pre-tax DE and fund
management DE, see Exhibit 3 to this release and note 10 to the
financial statements included in the Company’s most recent
quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Fortress aggregates its segment results to report consolidated
segment results, as shown in the table under “Summary Financial
Results” and in the “Total” column of the table under “Consolidated
Segment Results (Non-GAAP).” The consolidated segment results are
non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that
consolidated segment results provide a meaningful basis for
comparison among present and future periods. However, consolidated
segment results should not be considered a substitute for
Fortress’s consolidated GAAP results. The exhibits to this release
contain reconciliations of the components of Fortress’s
consolidated segment results to the comparable GAAP measures, and
Fortress urges you to review these exhibits. Fortress also uses
weighted average dividend paying shares and units outstanding (used
to calculate pre-tax DE per dividend paying share) and net cash and
investments. The exhibits to this release contain reconciliations
of these measures to the comparable GAAP measures, and Fortress
urges you to review these exhibits.

‘‘Distributable earnings’’ is Fortress’s supplemental measure of
operating performance used by management in analyzing segment and
overall results. As compared to generally accepted accounting
principles (‘‘GAAP’’) net income, distributable earnings excludes
the effects of unrealized gains (or losses) on illiquid
investments, reflects contingent revenue which has been received as
income to the extent it is not expected to be reversed, and
disregards expenses which do not require an outlay of assets,
whether currently or on an accrued basis. Distributable earnings is
reflected on an unconsolidated and pre-tax basis, and, therefore,
the interests in consolidated subsidiaries related to Fortress
Operating Group units (held by the principals) and income tax
expense are added back in its calculation. Distributable earnings
is not a measure of cash generated by operations which is available
for distribution nor should it be considered in isolation or as an
alternative to cash flow or net income in accordance with GAAP and
it is not necessarily indicative of liquidity or cash available to
fund the Company’s operations. For a complete discussion of
distributable earnings and its reconciliation to GAAP, as well as
an explanation of the calculation of distributable earnings
impairment, see note 10 to the financial statements included in the
Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2017.
Fortress’s management uses distributable earnings:
- in making operating decisions and
assessing the performance of each of the Company’s core
businesses;
- for planning purposes, including the
preparation of annual operating budgets;
- as a valuation measure in strategic
analyses in connection with the performance of its funds and the
performance of its employees; and
- to assist in evaluating its periodic
distributions to equity holders.
Growing distributable earnings is a key component to the
Company’s business strategy and distributable earnings is the
supplemental measure used by management to evaluate the economic
profitability of each of the Company’s businesses and total
operations. Therefore, Fortress believes that it provides useful
information to investors in evaluating its operating performance.
Fortress’s definition of distributable earnings is not based on any
definition contained in its amended and restated operating
agreement.
“Fund management DE” is equal to pre-tax distributable earnings
excluding our direct investment-related results. Fund management DE
is comprised of “Pre-tax Distributable Earnings” excluding
“Investment Loss (Income)” and “Interest Expense.” Fund management
DE and its components are used by management to analyze and measure
the performance of our investment management business on a
stand-alone basis. Fortress defines segment operating margin to be
equal to fund management DE divided by segment revenues. The
Company believes that it is useful to provide investors with the
opportunity to review our investment management business using the
same metrics. Fund management DE and its components are subject to
the same limitations as pre-tax distributable earnings, as
described above.

“Dividend paying shares and units” represents the number of
shares and units outstanding at the end of the period which were
entitled to receive dividends or related distributions. It excludes
certain potentially dilutive equity instruments, primarily
non-dividend paying restricted Class A share units, and, therefore,
is limited in its usefulness in computing per share amounts.
Accordingly, dividend paying shares and units should be considered
only as a supplement and not an alternative to GAAP basic and
diluted shares outstanding. The Company’s calculation of dividend
paying shares and units may be different from the calculation used
by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be
limited.

Net cash and investments represents cash and cash equivalents
plus investments less debt outstanding. The Company believes that
net cash and investments is a useful supplemental measure because
it provides investors with information regarding the Company’s net
investment assets. Net cash and investments excludes certain assets
(investments in options, due from affiliates, deferred tax asset,
other assets) and liabilities (due to affiliates, accrued
compensation and benefits, deferred incentive income and other
liabilities) and its utility as a measure of financial position is
limited. Accordingly, net cash and investments should be considered
only as a supplement and not an alternative to GAAP book value as a
measure of the Company’s financial position. The Company’s
calculation of net cash and investments may be different from the
calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability
may be limited.

37 The intrinsic value of options in equity method investees
totaled $48 million at quarter end and is included in our
undistributed, unrecognized incentive income. This value represents
incentive income that would have been recorded in Distributable
Earnings if Fortress had exercised all of its in-the-money options
it holds in the Permanent Capital Vehicles and sold all of the
resulting shares at their September 30, 2017 closing price and
differs from the fair value derived from option pricing models
included in the table above.
