Three Months Ended

Total Revenues decreased 22% to $231 million for third quarter 2021 from $298 million for the prior year quarter.

Advisory Revenues decreased 31% to $180 million for the current quarter from $262 million for the prior year quarter. An increase in strategic advisory revenues was more than offset by a decline in restructuring revenues, reflecting the significant decrease in restructuring activity from last year’s record levels.

Placement Revenues increased 48% to $47 million for the current quarter from $32 million for the prior year quarter. The increase in Placement Revenues was driven by an increase in fund placement activity.

Nine Months Ended

Total Revenues decreased 7% to $679 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $730 million for the same period a year ago.

Advisory Revenues decreased 13% to $530 million for the nine months from $612 million for the same period a year ago. An increase in strategic advisory revenues was more than offset by a decline in restructuring revenues, reflecting the significant decrease in restructuring activity from last year’s record levels.

Placement Revenues increased 30% to $138 million for the nine months from $106 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in Placement Revenues was driven by a significant increase in fund placement activity.

Compensation and Benefits Expense

Three Months Ended

GAAP Compensation and Benefits Expense was $148 million for third quarter 2021 compared with $197 million for the prior year quarter. Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense was $145 million for the current quarter compared with $193 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease in Compensation and Benefits Expense was principally the result of lower revenues during the current quarter.

Nine Months Ended

GAAP Compensation and Benefits Expense was $435 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared with $486 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense was $424 million for the nine months compared with $475 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in Compensation and Benefits Expense was principally the result of lower revenues during the current nine month period.

Non-Compensation Expense

Three Months Ended

GAAP Non-Compensation Expense was $35 million for third quarter 2021 compared with $31 million for the prior year quarter. Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense was $33 million for the current quarter compared with $28 million for the prior year quarter.

Non-Compensation Expense increased during the current quarter compared with the prior year quarter, primarily driven by increases in Travel and Related and Professional Fees. Travel and Related activity increased during the current quarter compared with the same period a year ago, although it remains below historical pre-COVID levels. Professional Fees increased primarily due to higher senior advisor expenses.

Nine Months Ended

GAAP Non-Compensation Expense was $99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared with $91 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense was $93 million for the nine months compared with $85 million for the same period a year ago.

Non-Compensation Expense increased during the nine months compared with the same period a year ago, primarily driven by increases in Professional Fees as well as Communications and Information Services and partially offset by decreases in Other Expenses and Travel and Related. Professional Fees increased primarily due to higher senior advisor expenses. The increase in Communications and Information Services was primarily driven by investments in technology infrastructure. Other Expenses decreased driven principally by a reduction in COVID-related expenses. Travel and Related decreased during the nine months compared to year-ago levels due to reduced travel and entertainment activity.

Provision for Taxes

As of September 30, 2021, PJT Partners Inc. owned 61.3% of PJT Partners Holdings LP. PJT Partners Inc. is subject to corporate U.S. federal and state income tax while PJT Partners Holdings LP is subject to New York City unincorporated business tax and other entity-level taxes imposed by certain state and foreign jurisdictions. Please refer to Note 12. “Stockholders’ Equity” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in “Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further information about the corporate ownership structure. The effective tax rate for GAAP Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 18.8% and 17.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for GAAP Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 13.0% and 14.5%, respectively.

In calculating Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted, the Company has assumed that all outstanding Class A partnership units in PJT Partners Holdings LP (“Partnership Units”) (excluding the unvested partnership units that have yet to satisfy certain market conditions) have been exchanged into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, subjecting all of the Company’s income to corporate-level tax.

The effective tax rate for Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 23.0% compared with 24.8% for full year 2020. This tax rate excludes the tax benefits of the adjustments for transaction-related compensation expense, amortization expense, tax benefit recorded pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) as well as certain payments to The Blackstone Group Inc. (“Blackstone”) as a result of the Company’s spin-off on October 1, 2015 from Blackstone (the “spin-off”).

Capital Management and Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2021, the Company held cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $333.8 million, and had no funded debt.

On February 1, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $150 million increase to the Company’s Class A common stock repurchase program. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s remaining repurchase authorization was $91.9 million.

During the third quarter 2021, the Company repurchased 394 thousand Partnership Units for cash as a result of Partnership Unit exchanges, 188 thousand shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program and net share settled 2 thousand shares to satisfy employee tax obligations.

The Company intends to repurchase 168 thousand Partnership Units for cash on November 2, 2021 at the volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock on October 28, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain material presented herein contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include certain information concerning future results of operations, business strategies, acquisitions, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believe,” “expect,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “could” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, many of which are outside our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance upon any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (a) changes in governmental regulations and policies; (b) the possibility of cyberattacks, security vulnerabilities, and internet disruptions, including breaches of data security and privacy leaks, data loss, and business interruptions; (c) the possibility of failure of our computer systems or communication systems during a catastrophic event, including as a result of the increased use of remote work environments and virtual platforms during the outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus); (d) the impact of catastrophic events, such as COVID-19, on the U.S. and the global economy, including business disruptions, reductions in employment and an increase in business failures; (e) the impact of catastrophic events, such as COVID-19, on our employees and our ability to provide services to our clients and respond to their needs; (f) the failure of third-party service providers to perform their functions; and (g) volatility in the political and economic environment.

Any of these factors, as well as such other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. There may be other risks and uncertainties that the Company is unable to predict at this time or that are not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. Any such risks could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following represent key performance measures that management uses in making resource allocation and/or compensation decisions. These measures should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes the following non-GAAP measures, when presented together with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors in understanding the Company’s operating results: Adjusted Pretax Income; Adjusted Net Income; Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted, in total and on a per-share basis (referred to as “Adjusted EPS”); Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense and Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense. These non-GAAP measures, presented and discussed in this earnings release, remove the significant accounting impact of: (a) transaction-related compensation expense, including expense related to Partnership Units with both time-based vesting and market conditions as well as equity-based and cash awards granted in connection with the spin-off and acquisition of CamberView Partners Holdings, LLC (“CamberView”); (b) intangible asset amortization associated with Blackstone’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the acquisition of PJT Capital LP, and the acquisition of CamberView; and (c) the amount the Company has agreed to pay Blackstone related to the net realized cash benefit from certain compensation-related tax deductions. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures and further detail regarding the adjustments are provided in the Appendix.

To help investors understand the effect of the Company’s ownership structure on its Adjusted Net Income, the Company has presented Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted. This measure illustrates the impact of taxes on Adjusted Pretax Income, assuming all Partnership Units (excluding the unvested Partnership Units that have yet to satisfy certain market conditions) were exchanged for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, resulting in all of the Company’s income becoming subject to corporate-level tax, considering both current and deferred income tax effects. This tax rate excludes the tax benefits of the adjustments for transaction-related compensation expense, amortization expense, tax benefit recorded pursuant to the CARES Act as well as certain payments to Blackstone resulting from the spin-off.

Footnotes

(1)

This adjustment adds back to GAAP Pretax Income transaction-related compensation expense for Partnership Units with both time-based vesting and market conditions as well as equity-based and cash awards granted in connection with the spin-off and the acquisition of CamberView.

(2)

This adjustment adds back to GAAP Pretax Income amounts for the amortization of intangible assets that are associated with Blackstone’s IPO, the acquisition of PJT Capital LP on October 1, 2015 and the acquisition of CamberView on October 1, 2018.

(3)

This adjustment adds back to GAAP Pretax Income the amount the Company has agreed to pay Blackstone related to the net realized cash benefit from certain compensation-related tax deductions. Such expense is reflected in Other Expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

This tax rate excludes the tax benefits of the adjustments for transaction-related compensation expense, amortization expense, tax benefit recorded pursuant to the CARES Act as well as certain payments to Blackstone resulting from the spin-off.

(6)
