Paul J. Taubman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our Strategic Advisory, PJT Park Hill and PJT Camberview businesses all delivered record performance in 2021. This strength was offset by a stepdown in Restructuring revenues, reflecting a challenging market backdrop for restructuring activity following an extraordinary run up in 2020. With restructuring declines essentially behind us, our firm is well positioned to resume its long-term growth trajectory, with Strategic Advisory, PJT Park Hill and PJT Camberview all set to deliver strong performance in 2022.”

PJT Partners Inc. (the “Company” or “PJT Partners”) (NYSE: PJT) today announced its financial results for the full year and quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Year Ended

Total Revenues decreased 6% to $992 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $1.05 billion for the prior year.

Advisory Revenues decreased 13% to $763 million for the year from $872 million for the prior year. A significant decrease in restructuring revenues from the prior year’s record levels was mostly offset by record-setting strategic advisory performance in 2021.

Placement Revenues increased 34% to $217 million for the year from $162 million for the prior year. The increase in Placement Revenues was driven by a significant increase in corporate placements as well as increased fund placement activity.

Three Months Ended

Total Revenues decreased 3% to $313 million for fourth quarter 2021 from $322 million for the prior year quarter.

Advisory Revenues decreased 11% to $233 million for the current quarter from $261 million for the prior year quarter. A significant decrease in restructuring revenues from the prior year’s record levels was mostly offset by record-setting strategic advisory performance in the fourth quarter.

Placement Revenues increased 41% to $79 million for the current quarter from $56 million for the prior year quarter. The increase in Placement Revenues was driven by a significant increase in corporate placements.

Compensation and Benefits Expense

Year Ended

GAAP Compensation and Benefits Expense was $640 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with $683 million for the prior year. Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense was $625 million for the current year compared with $669 million for the prior year. The adjusted compensation accrual rate decreased from 63.5% in 2020 to 63.0% in 2021.

Three Months Ended

GAAP Compensation and Benefits Expense was $205 million for fourth quarter 2021 compared with $198 million for the prior year quarter. Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense was $201 million for the current quarter compared with $194 million for the prior year quarter. The Company accrued at a higher rate during the fourth quarter compared with the prior year.

Non-Compensation Expense

Year Ended

GAAP Non-Compensation Expense was $132 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with $121 million for the prior year. Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense was $124 million for the current year compared with $113 million for the prior year.

Non-Compensation Expense increased during the current year compared with the prior year, primarily driven by increases in Professional Fees, Communications and Information Services and Travel and Related. Professional Fees increased primarily due to higher senior advisor and recruiting expenses. The increase in Communications and Information Services was primarily driven by investments in technology infrastructure. Travel and Related increased during the current year due to increased levels of activity compared with the prior year, although such activity remains below pre-COVID levels.

Three Months Ended

GAAP Non-Compensation Expense was $33 million for fourth quarter 2021 compared with $30 million for the prior year quarter. Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense was $31 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 Other Expenses, partially offset by a decrease in Professional Fees. Travel and Related increased during the current quarter due to increased levels of activity compared with the same period a year ago, although such activity remains below pre-COVID levels. Other Expenses reflects a higher allowance for doubtful accounts during the current quarter. Professional Fees decreased primarily due to a reduction in senior advisor accruals.

Provision for Taxes

As of December 31, 2021, PJT Partners Inc. owned 61.6% 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 years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was 13.4% and 14.3%, 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 year ended December 31, 2021 was 22.3% compared with 24.8% for the prior year. This tax rate excludes a number of adjustments, including the tax benefits of the adjustments for transaction-related compensation expense, amortization expense, and tax benefit recorded pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”).

Capital Management and Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2021, the Company held cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $200.5 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 December 31, 2021, the Company’s remaining repurchase authorization was $83.1 million.

During the fourth quarter 2021, the Company repurchased 168 thousand Partnership Units for cash as a result of Partnership Unit exchanges, 113 thousand shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program and net share settled 28 thousand shares to satisfy employee tax obligations. During the fourth quarter 2021, the total share equivalent repurchases were 309 thousand shares at an average price of $79.49 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the total share equivalent repurchases were 3.2 million shares at an average price of $72.76 per share.

The Company intends to repurchase 103 thousand Partnership Units for cash on February 8, 2022 at the volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock on February 3, 2022.

The Board of Directors of PJT Partners Inc. has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share of Class A common stock, an increase from the previous ordinary dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A common stock.

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) cyberattacks, security vulnerabilities, and internet disruptions, including breaches of data security and privacy leaks, data loss, and business interruptions; (c) 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 our 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 our periodic filings with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that are not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our business. Any such risks could cause our 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 Inc.’s (“Blackstone”) 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 a number of adjustments, including the tax benefits of the adjustments for transaction-related compensation expense, amortization expense and tax benefit recorded pursuant to the CARES Act.

(2)
