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; 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 item captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2013 (“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 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.

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 and the undrawn capital that we are entitled to call from investors in our funds pursuant to their capital commitments. Our AUM amounts include AUM 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,” 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.”

“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 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.

Oaktree Capital Group, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
($ in thousands, except where noted)



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 both separate accounts and commingled funds. The 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.
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. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated through 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, 2012 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2013.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.

Oaktree Capital Group, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) — (Continued)
($ in thousands, except where noted)

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 prices in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers. Other 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 – Model-derived 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. 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 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 or security being valued by the investment and valuation teams. The valuations are then reviewed by 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.
Investments, at Fair Value
The consolidated funds are primarily investment companies that reflect their investments, including majority-owned and controlled investments (the “portfolio companies”), 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 (depreciation) 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. Subsequent valuations will depend on 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.”
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 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 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
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, 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 borrowers. 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 values of equity and real estate investments are determined by using a cost approach, market approach or an income approach. A cost approach is based upon the current cost of reproducing a real estate investment less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence. A 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 a specific 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 such factors 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 other factors 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.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Developments
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance requiring enhanced disclosures that will enable users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. In January 2013, the FASB issued additional guidance to clarify that ordinary receivables and payables are not in the scope of the amended guidance. The amendments were effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2013. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2013 and determined that the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Please see note 5 for required disclosures.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on reporting amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), which requires entities to disclose additional information about reclassification adjustments, including changes in AOCI balances by component and significant items reclassified out of AOCI. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2013 and applied prospectively. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2013 and determined that the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2013, the FASB issued guidance that amends the criteria determining whether an entity qualifies as an investment company for accounting purposes. The guidance also clarifies the characteristics of an investment company and provides measurement and disclosure requirements for an investment company. The amendment will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect that adoption of this guidance will 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 during a period. Upon disposition of an investment, previously recognized unrealized gains or losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period.

4. FAIR VALUE
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Carrying value approximates fair value for cash and cash-equivalents, U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, receivables and accounts payable due to the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of the Company's debt obligations, which is 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 $626.5 million and $652.9 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, utilizing average borrowing rates of 3.1% and 3.1%, respectively. A 10% increase in the average borrowing rate assumption would lower the estimated fair value as of June 30, 2013 to $618.5 million, while a 10% decrease would increase the estimated fair value to $634.8 million. The fair values of the Company's interest-rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts are Level II valuations and are included in accounts payable, other accrued expenses and other liabilities. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the interest-rate swaps was a net liability of $4.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively, and the fair value of the foreign exchange contracts was a net liability of $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

There were no transfers between Level I and Level II positions for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Transfers between Level I and Level II positions for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included $1,066.8 million from Level II to Level I, as an investment in common equity began trading on an exchange. There were no transfers between Level I and Level II positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
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

(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, certain equity investments, certain real estate-oriented investments and certain 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 for the investment. The Company typically applies the multiple to trailing twelve month 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. In some cases, the Company may value the underlying assets by using prices and other relevant information generated by 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, adjusted when appropriate based on consideration of any changes in significant unobservable inputs, valuations of comparable companies and other similar transactions. In other cases, the fair value may be based on a pending transaction expected to occur after the valuation date.
(6)
Certain investments are valued using quoted prices for the subject security 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. Quoted prices include exchange listed prices and prices obtained from brokers or pricing vendors. Prices obtained from brokers or pricing vendors are evaluated based on trading activity of the subject security or similar securities or comparable yield analysis.
(7)
The discounted cash flow model for certain real estate-oriented investments 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 generated by 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)
Certain real estate loan portfolios are valued utilizing a combination of recent market information for similar loan pools as well as an evaluation of the underlying collateral, which is typically performed using a sales approach. In evaluating the loan pools as a whole, inputs can include recent market transactions and/or broker quotations involving similar loan pools. In evaluating the value of the underlying collateral, 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 properties, adjustments to external or internal appraised values and the Company's assumptions regarding market trends or other relevant factors.
(10)
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, certain equity investments and certain real estate loan portfolios is the discount rate. A significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair-value measurement.
(11)
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 is a multiple of earnings or a multiple of underlying assets. A significant increase (decrease) in these multiples would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair-value measurement.
(12)
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair-value measurement of real estate investments valued using a discounted cash flow analysis can include a discount rate, terminal capitalization rate, direct capitalization rate, net operating income growth rate and/or absorption rate. A significant increase (decrease) in a discount rate, terminal capitalization rate or direct capitalization rate would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair-value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in a net operating income growth rate or absorption rate would result in a significantly 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.
The use of unobservable inputs, including assessing the accuracy of source data, and the results of pricing models require a significant degree of judgment. The Company assesses the accuracy and reliability of the sources it uses to obtain unobservable inputs. These sources may include third-party vendors that the Company believes are reliable and commonly utilized by other market place participants. In addition to the unobservable inputs described above, other factors, as described in note 2, have a significant impact on investment valuations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the valuation technique for one real estate-oriented investment changed from a market approach (based on the value of underlying assets) to a valuation based on recent market information, and considers a quoted price as the investee commenced trading on an exchange, adjusted for factors

specific to the structure of the equity interests owned by the consolidated funds. There were no other changes in techniques utilized to value Level III investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, there were no changes in techniques utilized to value Level III investments.
5. HEDGES AND OTHER DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of business. The Company addresses these risks as part of its overall risk management strategy that may include the use of derivative financial instruments to economically hedge or reduce these exposures. From time to time, the Company may enter into (a) currency option and forward contracts to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in foreign exchange rates or (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 derivative contracts, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties will fail to fulfill their contractual obligations. To mitigate such counterparty risk, the Company enters into contracts with certain major financial institutions that have investment-grade 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. In conjunction with the Company’s existing interest-rate swap, this effectively fixed the annual interest rate at a blended rate of 2.60% on the bulk of the first four years of the Company's term loan facility (please see note 6), based on the Company’s current credit ratings.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had two interest-rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges with a combined notional value of $393.8 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had one interest-rate swap designated as a cash-flow hedge with a notional value of $240.0 million. These hedges continued to be effective as of June 30, 2013.
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, such as foreign exchange contracts, interest-rate swaps and other derivative contracts. The fair value of freestanding derivative assets and liabilities is recorded within the same caption as the underlying hedged items in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
The Company's freestanding derivatives consisted of the following net forward currency sell contracts:

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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 utilized to manage currency risk, options and futures used to hedge exposure for specific securities, and total-return swaps and credit-default swaps utilized mainly to obtain exposure to leveraged loans or to participate in foreign markets not readily accessible to the consolidated funds. None of the derivative instruments is accounted for as a hedging instrument utilizing hedge accounting.
The impact of derivative instruments held by the consolidated funds on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants associated with its senior notes and credit facility as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
In December 2012, 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 (the “Credit Facility”) with a bank syndicate for senior unsecured credit facilities, consisting of a $250.0 million fully-funded term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), each with a five-year term. The Credit Facility replaced the previous credit facility and the Term Loan replaced the prior amortizing term loan, which had a principal balance of $247.5 million. The Term Loan amortizes quarterly in an amount equal to 2.5% of the original principal amount of $250.0 million, with principal payments due in March, June, September and December of each year, and the remaining principal payable upon maturity in December 2017. 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 bulk of the first four years of the Term Loan's annual interest rate is fixed at 2.60%, 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, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.5-to-1.0 and minimum required levels of assets under management and net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of $50 billion and $600 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, 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 of the 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. The obligations of the consolidated funds are nonrecourse to the Company. For all periods presented, carrying value approximates fair value of the credit facilities due to their short-term nature or their recent issuance date. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, the consolidated funds were in compliance with all covenants.

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 based on the proportionate share of Oaktree Operating Group units held by the OCGH unitholders. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, OCGH units represented 112,749,526 of the total 150,988,967 Oaktree Operating Group units and 120,267,503 units of the total 150,448,436 Oaktree Operating Group units. Based on total Oaktree Operating Group capital of $1,563,889 and $1,360,331 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, the OCGH non-controlling interest was $1,167,819 and $1,087,491.
The net income attributable to OCGH non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiaries 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. 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.

($ in thousands, except where noted)

On May 29, 2013, the Company issued and sold 8,050,000 Class A units in a public offering at a price to the public of $53.50 per Class A unit (the “May 2013 Offering”), resulting in $419.9 million in net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company did not retain any proceeds from the sale of Class A units in the May 2013 Offering. The net proceeds from the May 2013 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.

Vested OCGH units are potentially exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into Class A units. As of June 30, 2013, there were 112,749,526 OCGH units outstanding, accordingly, the Company may cumulatively issue up to 112,749,526 additional Class A units through March 1, 2023 if all such units were exchanged. For all periods presented, OCGH units have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per unit given that the exchange of these units would proportionally increase Oaktree Capital Group, LLC’s interests in the Oaktree Operating Group and may have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per unit to the extent that additional expenses, particularly tax-related expenses, are incurred by the Company as a result of the exchange.
10. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company granted 577,000 restricted OCGH units to certain of its employees and 8,508 Class A units to certain of its directors during the first six months of 2013, subject to equal annual vesting over periods of five or ten years. The grant date fair value of all OCGH units awarded in 2013 was determined by applying a discount ranging from 25% to 30% to the Class A unit trading price on the New York Stock Exchange and assumes a forfeiture rate of up to 1.5% annually, based on expected employee turnover.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company expected to recognize compensation expense on its unvested equity-based awards of $107.5 million over a weighted average recognition period of 5.3 years.

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 income 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 taxes and the three other subsidiaries that are not; consequently, the effective income tax rate is subject to significant variation from period to period. The Company's effective income 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 some of these examinations at an advanced stage. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that one outcome of these current examinations may be to reduce in the next 12 months approximately $6 million to $8 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 possible outcomes.
Tax Receivable Agreement
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, the Company 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.
No amounts were paid under the tax receivable agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

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 otherwise determinable. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate of such amounts recorded at the fund level in excess of incentive income recognized by the Company was $2,127,500 and $2,137,798, respectively, for which related direct incentive income compensation expense was estimated to be $904,881 and $855,604, respectively.
Commitments to Funds
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company, generally in the capacity as general partner, had undrawn capital commitments of $258,299 and $265,401, 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the consolidated funds had aggregate potential credit and investment commitments of $906,797 and $912,001, respectively. These commitments will be funded by the funds’ aggregate cash balance, asset sales proceeds 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 (“the borrowers”) will be able to draw under the RCF during a three-year period. The RCF has an annual commitment fee on unused commitments of 1.0% and

bears interest at an annual rate equal to Libor or Euribor, as applicable, plus 2.0%. The Funds guarantee the payment and other obligations of the borrowers under the RCF. The amounts borrowed, accrued interest and other costs of the RCF will be paid by the portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $106.7 million and zero borrowings outstanding, respectively. The Funds, as guarantors, must maintain compliance with certain financial covenants at all times. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Funds were in compliance with these financial covenants.
The aggregate amounts guaranteed in addition to those described for the RCF were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

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 $891 and $609 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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. The Company waives any right to incentive income that would ordinarily be earned on such investments but assesses the normal management fee. To facilitate the funding of capital calls by funds in which certain employees are invested, the Company advances on a short-term basis the capital calls on their behalves. These advances are generally reimbursed toward the end of the

($ in thousands, except where noted)

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”) to 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) other income or expenses applicable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (d) the adjustment for the OCGH non-controlling interest. ANI is calculated at the Oaktree Operating Group level.

(1)
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.
(2)
Because adjusted net income is a pre-tax measure, this adjustment eliminates the effect of income tax expense.
(3)
Because adjusted net income is 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.

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 $76.4 billion in AUM as of June 30, 2013. 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 nearly doubled over the past decade, to over 1,800, including 75 of the 100 largest U.S. pension plans, 38 states in the United States, approximately 400 corporations, over 300 university, charitable and other endowments and foundations, 10 sovereign wealth funds and over 250 other non-U.S. institutional investors. We serve these clients with over 750 employees, including over 190 employee-owners who operate out of 13 offices in 10 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 third-party 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) 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 on the amounts that we invest in Oaktree and third-party funds, as well as our equity income participation from investments in other companies.

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 from strategies that are based on asset value, and creates favorable exit opportunities (and often incentive income). At the same time, however, this motivates us to be more restrained in sizing funds in distress-oriented strategies.
U.S. financial markets maintained their generally strong start to 2013 well into the second quarter, before slumping amid concern that tapering of the Federal Reserve's bond-buying program would start sooner and to greater negative impact than had been previously anticipated. For the quarter, the S&P 500 Index gained 2.9%. U.S. high yield bonds declined in price to provide record-low yields on historically average spreads before finishing the quarter with a total return of -1.3% (as measured by the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Cash-Pay Capped Index). The leveraged loan market fared better than high yield bonds, as investors sought safety in those instruments'

39


floating interest rates. In Europe, equity markets were mixed as the eurozone continued to face recessionary headwinds. Emerging market equities fell in reaction to the prospect of both rising interest rates and decelerating growth in China and elsewhere.
We continued to harvest profitable investments during the quarter, resulting in $4.7 billion of distributions by our distressed debt and other closed-end funds. Given the strong financing environment and increased asset prices, attractive buying opportunities were relatively scarce, particularly in our distress-oriented funds, which have been distributing more than they have been investing. While this scarcity of investment opportunities is typical for this phase of the cycle, attractive risk-adjusted opportunities exist in a few pockets of dislocation, where access to capital has been restricted by traditional lenders. Among these promising areas are middle-market companies in Europe, certain commercial real estate sectors, and the shipping and power industries. We are capitalizing on these and other opportunities through our real estate and control investing funds, as well as our newer strategies and funds, such as Strategic Credit and Oaktree Enhanced Income Fund, L.P. (“EIF”).
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 in which we hold a general partner interest that gives 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 33.2% of our AUM as of June 30, 2013, and 27.5% and 25.3% of our segment management fees and 9.6% and 8.3% of our segment revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
When a fund is consolidated, we reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the fund on a gross basis, subject to eliminations in consolidation. Those eliminations have the effect of reclassifying from consolidated revenues to consolidated non-controlling interests the management fees and other revenues that we earn from consolidated funds, because interests in the consolidated funds held by third-party investors are treated as non-controlling interests. Conversely, the presentation of incentive income compensation expense and other expenses associated with generating such reclassified revenue is not affected by the consolidation process. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses attributable to non-controlling interests are presented as non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated entities in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and as net income attributable to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated entities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
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, as well as the revenues earned from one of our power opportunities funds which we do not consolidate. The “Segment Reporting” note 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. While we typically earn management fees for each of the funds that we manage, the contractual terms of those management fees generally vary by fund structure. We also have the opportunity to earn incentive income from most of our closed-end funds and evergreen funds. Our closed-end funds generally provide that our incentive allocation is equal to 20% of our investors’ profits, after the investors (including us, as general partner) receive the return of all of their contributed capital plus an annual preferred return, typically 8%. Once this occurs, we receive 80% of all distributions otherwise attributable to our investors and the investors receive the remaining 20% until we have received, in the aggregate, 20% of all such distributions in excess of contributed capital from the inception of the fund. Thereafter, all such future distributions are distributed 80% to the investors and 20% to us. 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 third-party managed funds and companies. Our consolidated revenues exclude investment income, which is presented within the other income (loss) section of our

40


condensed 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 or the vesting of OCGH and Class A units, including salaries, bonuses, compensation based on management fees or a definition of profits and employee benefits.
Equity-based Compensation
Equity-based compensation expense reflects the non-cash charge associated with both the OCGH units held by our principals and employees at the time of the 2007 Private Offering and subsequent grants of Class A and OCGH units. Starting with the year ended December 31, 2007, the non-cash compensation expense for units held at the time of the 2007 Private Offering was charged equally over the five-year vesting period that ended January 2, 2012, based on the units’ value as of the 2007 Private Offering. The remaining $5.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense relating to the 2007 Private Offering as of December 31, 2011 was recognized in the first quarter of 2012. As of June 30, 2013, we had $107.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense relating to unit grants subsequent to the 2007 Private Offering that we expect to recognize in our condensed consolidated financial statements over their weighted average remaining vesting period of 5.3 years.  
Incentive Income Compensation
Incentive income compensation expense 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. There is no fixed percentage for this compensation expense, either by fund or strategy. In general, within a particular strategy more recent funds have a higher percentage of aggregate incentive 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. Additionally, note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements contains the estimated incentive income compensation expense related to accrued incentives (fund level).
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses include costs related to occupancy, accountants, tax professionals, legal advisors, consultants, travel, communications and information services, foreign exchange activity, depreciation and amortization 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.
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.

41


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 (Depreciation) 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 (Loss)
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 other 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 second quarter of 2012 includes the impact of a reduction to the tax receivable agreement liability as a result of a remeasurement of the deferred tax asset associated with the 2007 Private Offering.
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., two of our five Intermediate Holding Companies, which were established as our 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 (loss) before taxes is generally not significant in relation to total pre-tax income (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 non-controlling interests that third-party investors hold in 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

42


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 grants of OCGH units and our issuance, if any, of additional Class A units, as well as repurchases 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 results 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”) to 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. 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 calculations of ANI not directly comparable to economic net income (“ENI”) or other similarly named measures for 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 income 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 income tax rate, and there can be no assurance that this historical relationship will continue going forward.

43


Distributable Earnings
Distributable earnings is a non-GAAP performance measure derived from our segment results that we use to measure our earnings at the Oaktree 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 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 other 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 (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 (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, beginning in 2013, 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 a 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. This calculation is considered baseline because it applies all bonus and other general expenses to management fees, even though a significant portion of those expenses is attributable to incentive and investment income. Fee-related earnings include non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to unit grants made after our initial public offering. 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 inclusion 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 for other asset managers.

44


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 and the undrawn capital that we are entitled to call from investors in our funds pursuant to their capital commitments. Our AUM amounts include AUM 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 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 during the investment period, without regard to changes in NAV or the pace of capital drawdowns, 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.
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. We recognize incentive income when it becomes fixed or determinable, all related contingencies have been removed and collection is reasonably assured. Amounts recognized by us as incentive income no longer are 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 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 bonus pool, including the portion attributable to our incentive income, is reflected in the financial statement line item “compensation and benefits expense.”
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 limited partner investors’ profits, 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 have always followed the Method 1 approach offered by GAAP that is dependent on additional factors, including the incentive allocations becoming fixed or determinable, so as to reduce by a substantial degree the possibility that revenue recognized by us would be reversed in a subsequent period. Consequently, during the active life of a fund, the amounts of incentives created (fund level) and incentives we receive or recognize are not expected to move in tandem because

45


of the disparity, inherent in the method of accounting we utilize under GAAP, between the time that potential incentives are created at the fund level and the time that the revenue recognition criteria is met. 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 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 June 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
Revenues
Management Fees
Management fees increased $20.9 million, or 71.6%, to $50.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $29.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected $5.5 million in higher fees earned across our U.S. high yield bond, U.S. convertible securities and senior loan strategies, and $15.2 million in greater advisory, director and certain other transaction fees for the benefit of our consolidated funds. We reduce our management fees by the amount of such 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, they are treated as being attributable to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated entities and have no impact on the net income attributable to OCG.
Incentive Income
Incentive income was $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to zero for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The $2.3 million of incentive income in the current-year period reflected realizations attributable to the unconsolidated OCM/GFI Power Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (“Power Fund II”) and from a separately managed account.
Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits increased $10.0 million, or 12.5%, to $90.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $80.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase primarily reflected growth in headcount of 9.2% between June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, and secondarily reflected $4.5 million of higher phantom equity plan expense (to $1.3 million in the current-year period) tied to changes in our Class A unit trading price.
Equity-based Compensation
Equity-based compensation expense decreased $0.7 million, or 9.0%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily reflecting the full vesting in the prior-year period of certain unit grants.
Incentive Income Compensation
Incentive income compensation expense increased $68.0 million, or 111.5%, to $129.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $61.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase primarily resulted from the 162.1% increase in segment incentive income over the same period. The increase in incentive income compensation expense would have been $21.2 million greater had we not acquired and expensed in 2011 a small portion of certain investment professionals' carried interest in OCM Opportunities Fund VIIb, L.P. (“Opps VIIb”).
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $6.9 million, or 28.5%, to $31.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, general and administrative expenses increased $4.3 million, or 16.4%, to $30.5 million from $26.2 million. The increase reflected costs associated with corporate growth and being a public company.
Consolidated Fund Expenses
Consolidated fund expenses decreased $5.7 million, or 16.9%, to $28.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $33.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease reflected lower professional fees and administrative costs related to managing our funds.
Other Income (Loss)
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $2.1 million, or 17.6%, to $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a $2.8 million increase in aggregate interest expense from our consolidated funds, partially offset by $0.7 million in

47


lower interest expense related to Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries, reflecting scheduled repayments of certain long-term debt and a lower weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings resulting from both Oaktree's improved credit rating and refinancing our credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Interest and Dividend Income
Interest and dividend income increased $116.7 million, or 25.2%, to $580.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $463.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected $116.4 million of higher interest and dividend income related to the consolidated funds, as well as a $0.3 million increase in interest income for Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries. The $116.4 million increase related to the consolidated funds was largely due to $173.3 million of higher interest and dividend income from control investing funds, partially offset by $53.0 million of lower interest and dividend income from distressed debt funds.
Net Realized Gain on Consolidated Funds’ Investments
Net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments increased $98.5 million, or 13.4%, to $832.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $733.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Of the $832.0 million net realized gain in the current-year period, $486.1 million was attributable to distressed debt funds, including $128.9 million from Opps VIIb, $135.2 million was from control investing funds and $131.5 million arose from real estate funds. Of the $733.5 million net realized gain in the prior-year period, $445.2 million was attributable to distressed debt funds, including $136.8 million from Opps VIIb, $124.0 million was from control investing funds and $121.4 million was from real estate funds.  
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Consolidated Funds’ Investments
The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds’ investments improved by $68.4 million, to a loss of $111.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from a loss of $180.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Excluding the $98.5 million increase in net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments, the net change in unrealized appreciation on consolidated funds’ investments increased $166.9 million, to $720.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $553.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Of the $720.2 million net gain in the current-year period, $422.6 million was attributable to distressed debt funds, $314.3 million was from control investing funds and $119.8 million was from real estate funds, partially offset by a loss of $119.1 million from our high yield bond strategies. Of the $553.3 million net gain in the prior-year period, $277.8 million was attributable to control investing funds, $149.4 million was from distressed debt funds and $96.7 million arose from real estate funds.
Investment Income (Loss)
Investment income (loss) decreased $4.8 million to a loss of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from a gain of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to our one-fifth ownership interest in DoubleLine Capital LP and its affiliates (collectively, “DoubleLine”), which accounted for an investment loss of $1.0 million and investment income of $4.8 million in the current-year and prior-year periods, respectively. Our investment in the DoubleLine Opportunistic Income LP fund accounted for a loss of $0.2 million and income of $0.8 million in the current-year and prior-year periods, respectively. In the current-year period, DoubleLine incurred a placement fee associated with the launch of a closed-end fund and a non-cash charge related to the firm's employee ownership interests; excluding the effect of those two expenses, the current-year period's investment loss of $1.0 million would have been investment income of approximately $10 million. Our share of performance fees from DoubleLine generated investment income of $1.0 million and $0.8 million in the current-year and prior-year periods, respectively. The DoubleLine fund primarily responsible for generating performance fees was below its high-water mark as of June 30, 2013.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income decreased to income of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from income of $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The current-year income reflected the net results of operating the portfolio of properties received as part of an arbitration award in 2010 related to a former principal and portfolio manager of our real estate group who left in 2005. The prior-year income primarily reflected a reduction to the tax receivable agreement liability as a result of a remeasurement of the deferred tax asset associated with the 2007 Private Offering.

48


Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased $5.9 million, or 42.4%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This expense declined, despite an increase in income before income taxes related to Class A unitholders, because of a year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate related to Class A unitholders and because the prior-year period included a nonrecurring tax expense of $7.1 million stemming from a remeasurement of deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate related to Class A unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 11%, based on an estimated annual rate of 12%. The effective tax rate related to Class A unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was 17%, based on an estimated annual rate of 19%, without the $7.1 million nonrecurring tax expense, and 33%, based on an estimated annual rate of 25%, with it. The effective income 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 increased $31.9 million, or 129.1%, to $56.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase resulted primarily from higher segment revenues, partially offset by higher segment expenses.
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Redeemable Interests in Consolidated Funds
Net income attributable to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds increased $88.8 million, or 13.2%, to $762.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $673.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily as a result of higher interest and dividend income and higher net gains on investments. These effects are described in more detail under “—Other Income (Loss)” above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
Revenues
Management Fees
Management fees increased $31.4 million, or 51.3%, to $92.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $61.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected $10.2 million in higher fees earned across our U.S. high yield bond, U.S. convertible securities and senior loan strategies, and $20.7 million in greater advisory, director and certain other transaction fees for the benefit of our consolidated funds. We reduce our management fees by the amount of such 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, they are treated as being attributable to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated entities and have no impact on the net income attributable to OCG.
Incentive Income
Incentive income decreased $2.7 million, or 54.0%, to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily reflecting a decline in realizations attributable to the unconsolidated Power Fund II.
Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits increased $19.2 million, or 11.7%, to $184.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $164.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase primarily reflected growth in headcount of 9.2% between June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, and secondarily reflected $5.8 million of higher phantom equity plan expense (to $3.8 million in the current-year period) tied to changes in our Class A unit trading price.
Equity-based Compensation
Equity-based compensation expense decreased $6.4 million, or 32.0%, to $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decline was primarily attributable to the final vesting of pre-2007 Private Offering units on January 2, 2012.

49


Incentive Income Compensation
Incentive income compensation expense increased $170.5 million, or 192.2%, to $259.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $88.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase primarily resulted from the 247.0% increase in segment incentive income over the same period. The increase in incentive income compensation expense would have been $36.4 million greater had we not acquired and expensed in 2011 a small portion of certain investment professionals' carried interest in Opps VIIb.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million, or 5.0%, to $52.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $50.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, as well as $2.1 million in non-recurring costs associated with our initial public offering that were incurred in the prior-year period, general and administrative expenses increased $6.8 million, or 13.5%, to $57.2 million from $50.4 million. The increase reflected costs associated with corporate growth and being a public company.
Consolidated Fund Expenses
Consolidated fund expenses increased $0.7 million, or 1.4%, to $51.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $51.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting slightly higher professional fees and administrative costs related to managing our funds.
Other Income (Loss)
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $2.7 million, or 11.8%, to $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a $4.0 million increase in aggregate interest expense from our consolidated funds, partially offset by $1.3 million in lower interest expense related to Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries, reflecting scheduled repayments of certain long-term debt and a lower weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings resulting from both Oaktree's improved credit rating and refinancing our credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Interest and Dividend Income
Interest and dividend income decreased $16.7 million, or 1.7%, to $986.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $1,003.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease reflected $17.1 million of lower interest and dividend income related to the consolidated funds, as well as a $0.4 million increase in interest income for Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries. The $17.1 million decline related to the consolidated funds was primarily attributable to $187.7 million of lower interest and dividend income from distressed debt funds, largely offset by $155.9 million of higher interest and dividend income from control investing funds.
Net Realized Gain on Consolidated Funds’ Investments
Net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments increased $222.5 million, or 12.3%, to $2,030.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $1,807.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Of the $2,030.2 million net realized gain in the current-year period, $1,249.2 million was attributable to distressed debt funds, including $520.8 million from Opps VIIb, $456.1 million was from control investing funds and $160.4 million arose from real estate funds. Of the $1,807.7 million net realized gain in the prior-year period, $1,383.3 million was attributable to distressed debt funds, with Opps VIIb accounting for $907.6 million, $236.6 million was from control investing funds and $134.6 million arose from real estate funds.  
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Consolidated Funds’ Investments
The net change in unrealized appreciation on consolidated funds’ investments increased $284.1 million, or 45.4%, to $909.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $625.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Excluding the $222.5 million increase in net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments, the net change in unrealized appreciation on consolidated funds’ investments increased $506.6 million, to $2,939.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $2,433.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Of the $2,939.9 million net gain in the current-year period, $1,950.9 million was attributable to distressed debt funds, including $493.2 million from Opps VIIb. Of the remaining $989.0 million net gain, $709.8 million was attributable to control investing funds and $293.0 million was from real estate funds. Of the $2,433.3 million net gain in the prior-year period, $1,615.7 million was attributable to distressed debt funds, including $761.1 million from Opps VIIb. Of

50


the remaining $817.6 million net gain, $376.4 million was attributable to control investing funds, $219.7 million arose from real estate funds and $124.0 was from our high yield bond strategies.
Investment Income (Loss)
Investment income increased $1.7 million, or 18.1%, to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of a $2.5 million loss in the prior-year period resulting from our investment in Apson Global Fund L.P. Our one-fifth ownership interest in DoubleLine contributed $10.0 million and $8.9 million of investment income in the current-year and prior-year periods, respectively, and our investment in the DoubleLine Opportunistic Income LP fund accounted for income of $0.9 million and $3.0 million in the current-year and prior-year periods, respectively. In the current-year period, DoubleLine incurred a placement fee associated with the launch of a closed-end fund and a non-cash charge related to the firm's employee ownership interests; excluding the effect of those two expenses, the current-year period's investment income of $10.0 million would have been investment income of approximately $21 million. Our share of performance fees from DoubleLine generated investment income of $3.0 million and $2.4 million in the current-year and prior-year periods, respectively. The DoubleLine fund primarily responsible for generating performance fees was below its high-water mark as of June 30, 2013.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income decreased to income of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from income of $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The current-year income reflected the net results of operating the portfolio of properties received as part of an arbitration award in 2010 related to a former principal and portfolio manager of our real estate group who left in 2005. The prior-year income of $8.6 million included a $6.3 million reduction to the tax receivable agreement liability as a result of a remeasurement of the deferred tax asset associated with the 2007 Private Offering. The remaining $2.3 million primarily represented a gain on the sale of a real estate property received as part of the 2010 arbitration award.
Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased $3.6 million, or 16.6%, to $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $21.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This expense declined, despite an increase in income before income taxes related to Class A unitholders, because of a year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate related to Class A unitholders and because the prior-year period included a nonrecurring tax expense of $7.1 million stemming from a remeasurement of deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate related to Class A unitholders for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 12%, based on an estimated annual rate of 12%. The effective tax rate related to Class A unitholders for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 19%, based on an estimated annual rate of 19%, without the $7.1 million nonrecurring tax expense, and 29%, based on an estimated annual rate of 25%, with it. The effective income 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.

The increase resulted primarily from higher segment revenues, partially offset by higher segment expenses.
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Redeemable Interests in Consolidated Funds
Net income attributable to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds increased $28.1 million, to $2,826.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $2,798.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily as a result of higher net gains on investments, partially offset by lower interest and dividend income.

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.

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.  
(2)
The change in market value reflects certain funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable.

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 funds for which management fees are based on NAV or drawn capital;
Undrawn capital commitments to closed-end funds that have not yet commenced their investment periods;
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 as of June 30, 2013, March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012 is set forth below:

As of June 30, 2013, of the $32.1 billion in incentive-creating AUM, $22.9 billion, or 71.3%, was generating incentives at the fund level. Incentive-creating AUM does not include undrawn capital commitments because they are not part of the NAV.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2013
AUM decreased $2.4 billion, or 3.0%, from $78.8 billion as of March 31, 2013, to $76.4 billion as of June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to $4.7 billion in distributions by closed-end funds in liquidation, partially offset by $1.0 billion in aggregate market-value gains and $1.3 billion in new capital commitments and fee-generating leverage in our closed-end funds. The $4.7 billion in aggregate distributions included $1.4 billion from Opps VIIb, $1.3 billion from other distressed debt funds, $1.0 billion from real estate funds and $0.8 billion from global principal funds. New capital commitments and fee-generating leverage to closed-end funds included $0.6 billion for Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund VI, L.P. (“ROF VI”) and $0.6 billion for EIF. Net outflows across open-end funds, principally high yield bonds, accounted for $0.4 billion of the overall decrease. For evergreen funds, AUM increased by $0.3 billion, principally as a result of new capital commitments to our Strategic Credit strategy.
Management fee-generating AUM decreased $1.8 billion, or 2.7%, from $66.4 billion as of March 31, 2013, to $64.6 billion as of June 30, 2013. The decrease reflected a $2.9 billion decline attributable to asset sales by closed-end funds in liquidation and $0.4 billion of net outflows in our open-end funds, partially offset by increases of $0.6 billion from new capital commitments for ROF VI and $1.2 billion in drawdowns by funds that pay fees based on drawn capital or NAV, including leverage. Opps VIIb accounted for $0.8 billion of the $2.9 billion decline from asset sales by closed-end funds in liquidation. The $1.2 billion in drawdowns included $0.7 billion from EIF and an additional 5% drawdown for distressed debt Oaktree Opportunities Fund IX, L.P. (“Opps IX”), bringing total drawn capital as of June 30, 2013 to 10% of Opps IX's $5.0 billion of committed capital. As we had not commenced Opps IX's investment period as of June 30, 2013, management fees were assessed only on Opps IX's drawn capital, and management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of its committed capital.
Incentive-creating AUM decreased $1.9 billion, or 5.6%, from $34.0 billion as of March 31, 2013, to $32.1 billion as of June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to $4.2 billion in distributions from closed-end funds, partially offset by $1.1 billion in market-value gains and $1.1 billion in drawn capital by closed-end funds. Opps VIIb accounted for $1.4 billion of the $4.2 billion in distributions.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
AUM increased $0.8 billion, or 1.0%, from $77.9 billion as of March 31, 2012, to $78.7 billion as of June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to net inflows in our closed-end funds, reflecting $3.5 billion in new capital commitments, including $3.4 billion raised for Opps IX, and $2.7 billion in distributions by funds in liquidation. Of the $2.7 billion in distributions, $0.9 billion was attributable to Opps VIIb.
Management fee-generating AUM decreased $1.7 billion, or 2.5%, from $68.0 billion as of March 31, 2012, to $66.3 billion as of June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to our closed-end funds in liquidation, as aggregate declines of $1.5 billion outpaced an increase of $0.4 billion in drawdowns for closed-end funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV. Of the $1.7 billion decline, Opps VIIb accounted for $0.7 billion. Opps IX's $4.6 billion in committed capital as of June 30, 2012 was not included in management fee-generating AUM, as the fund had not commenced its investment period. Net outflows accounted for most of the quarter's $0.3 billion decrease across open-end funds.

57


Incentive-creating AUM decreased $0.6 billion, or 1.6%, from $36.6 billion as of March 31, 2012, to $36.0 billion as of June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to $2.8 billion in distributions from closed-end funds, partially offset by closed-end funds' aggregate $1.7 billion in drawn capital and $0.7 billion in market-value gains. Of the $2.8 billion in distributions, Opps VIIb accounted for $0.9 billion.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
AUM decreased $0.7 billion, or 0.9%, from $77.1 billion as of December 31, 2012, to $76.4 billion as of June 30, 2013. The decrease reflected $7.9 billion in distributions by closed-end funds in liquidation, largely offset by $4.3 billion in aggregate market-value gains and $3.0 billion in new capital commitments and fee-generating leverage in our closed-end funds. The $7.9 billion in aggregate distributions included $2.2 billion from Opps VIIb, $2.7 billion from other distressed debt funds, $1.1 billion from global principal funds, $1.1 billion from real estate funds and $0.5 million from European principal funds. New capital commitments and fee-generating leverage to closed-end funds included $0.9 billion for ROF VI and $1.5 billion for EIF. Net outflows in open-end funds accounted for $0.5 billion of the decline. For evergreen funds, AUM increased by $0.7 billion, principally reflecting new capital commitments to our Strategic Credit strategy.
Management fee-generating AUM decreased $2.2 billion, or 3.3%, from $66.8 billion as of December 31, 2012, to $64.6 billion as of June 30, 2013. The decrease reflected $5.6 billion in asset sales by closed-end funds in liquidation and $0.5 billion of net outflows in our open-end funds, partially offset by $0.8 billion in market-value gains in funds for which management fees are based on NAV and increases of $0.9 billion due to new capital commitments for ROF VI and $2.4 billion in drawdowns by funds that pay fees based on drawn capital or NAV, including leverage. Opps VIIb accounted for $2.3 billion of the $5.6 billion decline from asset sales by closed-end funds in liquidation. As of June 30, 2013, Opps IX had made an aggregate 10% drawdown against its $5.0 billion of committed capital. As we had not commenced Opps IX's investment period as of June 30, 2013, management fees were assessed only on Opps IX's drawn capital, and management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of its committed capital.
Incentive-creating AUM decreased $1.9 billion, or 5.6%, from $34.0 billion as of December 31, 2012, to $32.1 billion as of June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to $7.3 billion in distributions from closed-end funds, partially offset by $3.3 billion in market-value gains and $1.9 billion in drawn capital by closed-end funds. Opps VIIb accounted for $2.1 billion of the $7.3 billion in distributions.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
AUM increased $3.8 billion, or 5.1%, from $74.9 billion as of December 31, 2011, to $78.7 billion as of June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to $4.4 billion in aggregate market-value gains and $5.2 billion in new capital commitments, including $4.6 billion for Opps IX. These increases were partially offset by $5.3 billion in distributions by closed-end funds in liquidation, of which Opps VIIb accounted for $2.6 billion. The increase in market values and the pace of fund realizations reflected the generally strong performance of financial markets in the first quarter of 2012.
Management fee-generating AUM decreased $0.7 billion, or 1.0%, from $67.0 billion as of December 31, 2011, to $66.3 billion as of June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.6 billion decline caused by closed-end funds in liquidation, partially offset by $0.8 billion of increases related to new capital commitments and drawdowns for closed-end funds on which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV, as well as $1.6 billion in market-value gains in open-end funds. Of the $2.6 billion component, Opps VIIb accounted for $1.4 billion. Opps IX's $4.6 billion in committed capital as of June 30, 2012 was not included in management fee-generating AUM as the fund had not yet commenced its investment period.
Incentive-creating AUM decreased $0.2 billion, or 0.6%, from $36.2 billion as of December 31, 2011, to $36.0 billion as of June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to $5.1 billion in distributions by closed-end funds, partially offset by $2.6 billion in drawn capital and $2.6 billion in market-value gains across closed-end and evergreen funds. Opps VIIb accounted for $2.5 billion of the $5.1 billion in distributions.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
Incentives created (fund level) amounted to $195.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting price gains across our incentive-creating funds. Of the $195.2 million of incentives created (fund level), $52.7 million was attributable to Opps VIII, $64.8 million to other distressed debt funds and $64.5 million to control investing funds.
Incentives created (fund level) was negative $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting an $18.2 million negative impact from the euro's decline versus the U.S. dollar. Excluding the euro's negative impact, incentives created (fund level) would have been positive $9.1 million.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
Incentives created (fund level) amounted to $654.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting the 71.3% share of our incentive-creating AUM that was creating incentives as of June 30, 2013. Of the $654.9 million of incentives created (fund level), $108.2 million was attributable to Opps VIIb, $393.7 million to other distressed debt funds and $127.7 million to control investing and real estate funds.
Incentives created (fund level) amounted to $256.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, of which Opps VIIb accounted for $177.0 million, with the remainder arising from a number of distressed debt, global principal investing and real estate funds and special accounts.
Uncalled Capital Commitments
As of June 30, 2013, March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, uncalled capital commitments were $11.0 billion, $11.2 billion and $13.7 billion, respectively.

A nonrecurring adjustment in the second quarter of 2012 had the effect of increasing income taxes-OCG by $(7,134) and increasing non-Operating Group other income by $6,260, for a net effect of additional after-tax OCG expense of $(874). This adjustment stemmed from reductions in deferred tax assets and the liability for amounts due to affiliates. The effective income tax rate applicable to adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was 16%, based on an estimated annual rate of 18%, without the $(7,134) nonrecurring expense, and 32%, based on an estimated annual rate of 24%, with it.

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.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, our net income attributable to Class A unitholders was $56.6 million and $24.7 million, respectively. Distributable earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $313.2 million and $176.4 million, respectively. The portion of distributable earnings attributable to our Class A unitholders was $1.94 and $1.02 per Class A unit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total distributions made during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $229.8 million and $104.6 million, respectively, of which distributions to our Class A unitholders were $42.6 million and $16.8 million, respectively, and distributions to our OCGH unitholders were $187.2 million and $87.8 million, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, our net income attributable to Class A unitholders was $114.1 million and $43.3 million, respectively. Distributable earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $608.2 million and $313.7 million, respectively. The portion of distributable earnings attributable to our Class A unitholders was $3.73 and $1.73 per Class A unit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total distributions made during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $414.2 million and

61


$192.4 million, respectively, of which distributions to our Class A unitholders were $74.3 million and $26.3 million, respectively, and distributions to our OCGH unitholders were $340.0 million and $166.0 million, respectively.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
Distributable earnings increased $136.8 million, or 77.6%, to $313.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $176.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected $141.1 million in higher net incentive income and $15.7 million in higher receipts of investment income, partially offset by a $22.0 million decline in fee-related earnings. For the current-year period, receipts of investment income totaled $51.7 million, including $49.5 million from fund distributions and $2.2 million from Oaktree’s one-fifth equity ownership in DoubleLine, of which the latter included $1.0 million attributable to performance fees. For the prior-year period, receipts of investment income totaled $36.0 million, including $30.7 million from fund distributions and $5.3 million from Oaktree’s equity ownership in DoubleLine, of which the latter included $1.1 million attributable to performance fees.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
Distributable earnings increased $294.5 million, or 93.9%, to $608.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $313.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected $303.1 million in higher net incentive income and $28.1 million in higher receipts of investment income, partially offset by a $38.1 million decline in fee-related earnings. For the current-year period, receipts of investment income totaled $94.7 million, including $83.5 million from fund distributions and $11.2 million from Oaktree’s one-fifth equity ownership in DoubleLine, of which the latter included $3.0 million attributable to performance fees. For the prior-year period, receipts of investment income totaled $66.6 million, including $58.4 million from fund distributions and $8.2 million from Oaktree’s equity ownership in DoubleLine, of which the latter included $3.0 million attributable to performance fees.

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 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.
(5)
Because adjusted net income and distributable earnings are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.
(6)
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.

Fee-related earnings is a component of adjusted net income and is comprised of segment management fees less segment operating expenses other than incentive income compensation expense.
(2)
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 and fee-related earnings because it is a non-cash charge that does not affect our financial position.
(3)
Because adjusted net income and fee-related earnings are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.
(4)
Because adjusted net income and fee-related 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.

Management fees decreased $6.3 million, or 3.3%, to $182.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $188.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, for the reasons described below.
Closed-end funds.    Management fees attributable to closed-end funds decreased $12.0 million, or 8.1%, to $136.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $148.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease primarily resulted from a $26.0 million decline in management fees from closed-end funds in their liquidation periods, of which Opps VIIb accounted for $13.3 million, declining from $26.6 million in the prior-year period to $13.3 million in the current-year period. Partially offsetting this decrease were increases of $8.7 million in management fees from new capital commitments to ROF VI, $4.6 million in fees from closed-end funds for which management fees

66


are based on drawn capital or NAV, and $1.3 million (to $6.6 million) in fees from Oaktree Mezzanine Fund III, L.P. (“Mezz III”). Of the $8.7 million increase attributable to ROF VI, $4.4 million represented additional management fees that were earned retroactive to the start of the fund's investment period in August 2012. No such retroactive management fees fell in the prior-year period. Funds contributing to the $4.6 million increase in management fees based on drawn capital or NAV were EIF, Opps IX and a separate account in our Strategic Credit strategy. As we had not commenced Opps IX's investment period as of June 30, 2013, management fees were assessed only on its drawn capital. The increase in fees from Mezz III resulted from the fact that two-thirds of its 1.50% annual management fee rate is contingent on the fund achieving certain cash flow levels.
Open-end funds.    Management fees attributable to open-end funds increased $5.3 million, or 17.1%, to $36.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $31.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected higher management fees across the U.S. high yield bond, U.S. senior loan and convertible securities strategies, as a result of market-value appreciation, net inflows and, in the case of convertible securities, an increase of $1.8 million (to $0.8 million) in performance-based fees. The period-end weighted average annual management fee rate for open-end funds increased to 0.49% as of June 30, 2013, from 0.47% as of June 30, 2012, primarily as a result of higher performance-based fees.
Evergreen funds.    Management fees attributable to evergreen funds increased $0.4 million, or 4.2%, to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected market-value appreciation in Oaktree Value Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“VOF”) and net inflows in our Strategic Credit strategy, partially offset by net outflows from Oaktree Emerging Markets Absolute Return Fund, L.P. (“EMAR”). The period-end weighted average annual management fee rate for evergreen funds decreased to 1.72% as of June 30, 2013, from 1.80% as of June 30, 2012, largely as a result of net inflows in our Strategic Credit strategy, which as of June 30, 2013 had an average fee rate of 1.00%.

The current period's $338.1 million included $272.5 million from Opps VIIb and $31.9 million from Oaktree PPIP Fund, L.P. (“PPIP”). For the prior-year period, tax-related incentive distributions by Opps VIIb accounted for $42.1 million of that period's $129.0 million of incentive income.

Investment income increased $11.4 million, or 49.1%, to $34.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as a result of generally higher returns among Oaktree funds on an average invested balance that declined 4.8% from the prior-year period. Investments in companies relate principally to our one-fifth ownership interest in DoubleLine, which accounted for an investment loss of $1.0 million and investment income of $4.8 million in the current-year and prior-year periods, respectively. In the current-year period, DoubleLine incurred a placement fee associated with the launch of a closed-end fund and a non-cash charge related to the firm's employee ownership interests; excluding the effect of those two expenses, the current-year period's investment loss of $1.0 million would have been investment income of approximately $10 million. Our share of performance fees from DoubleLine generated investment income of $1.0 million and $0.8 million in the current-year and prior-year periods, respectively. The DoubleLine fund primarily responsible for generating performance fees was below its high-water mark as of June 30, 2013.
Segment Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits increased $9.9 million, or 12.3%, to $90.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $80.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase primarily reflected growth in headcount of 9.2% between June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, and secondarily reflected $4.5 million of higher phantom equity plan expense (to $1.3 million in the current-year period) tied to changes in our Class A unit trading price.
Equity-based Compensation
Equity-based compensation increased to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from zero in the three months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting 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 $68.0 million, or 111.5%, to $129.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $61.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase primarily resulted from the 162.1% increase in incentive income over the same period. The increase in incentive income compensation expense would have been $21.2 million greater had we not acquired and expensed in 2011 a small portion of certain investment professionals' carried interest in Opps VIIb.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $5.1 million, or 20.9%, to $29.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $24.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of foreign

68


currency-related items, general and administrative expenses increased $4.2 million, or 17.4%, to $28.4 million from $24.2 million. The increase reflected costs associated with corporate growth and being a public company.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, decreased $1.0 million, or 12.3%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting scheduled repayments of certain long-term debt and a lower weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings resulting from both Oaktree's improved credit rating and refinancing our credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net increased to income of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from income of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the net results of operating the portfolio of properties received as part of an arbitration award in 2010 related to a former principal and portfolio manager of our real estate group who left in 2005.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income increased $131.5 million, or 79.5%, to $297.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $165.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected higher net incentive income of $141.1 million and investment income of $11.4 million, partially offset by a $22.0 million decline in fee-related earnings.
Income Taxes-OCG
Income taxes decreased $5.9 million, or 47.6%, to $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This expense declined, despite an increase in adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes, because of a year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate and because the prior-year period included a nonrecurring tax expense of $7.1 million stemming from a remeasurement of deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate applied against adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 10%, based on an estimated annual rate of 11%. The effective tax rate applied against adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was 16%, based on an estimated annual rate of 18%, without the $7.1 million nonrecurring tax expense, and 32%, based on an estimated annual rate of 24%, with it. The effective income 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.

Management fees decreased $13.4 million, or 3.5%, to $366.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $380.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, for the reasons described below.
Closed-end funds.    Management fees attributable to closed-end funds decreased $24.6 million, or 8.2%, to $275.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $299.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease reflected a decline of $45.8 million attributable to closed-end funds in their liquidation periods, as well as $3.2 million in retroactive management fees earned in the prior-year period upon the final closing of Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund V, L.P. (“ROF V”). Partially offsetting these decreases were increases of $12.5 million in management fees from new capital commitments to closed-end funds in their investment periods, $6.5 million in fees from closed-end funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV and $5.8 million (to $13.1 million) in fees from Mezz III. Of the $45.8 million decline in management fees arising from asset sales by funds in liquidation, Opps VIIb accounted for $23.3 million, declining from $55.9 million in the prior-year period to $32.6 million in the current-year period. The $12.5 million increase in management fees from new capital commitments was attributable to ROF VI, of which $3.9 million represented additional management fees that were earned retroactive to the start of the fund's investment period in August 2012. The $6.5 million increase in management fees based on drawn capital or NAV reflected contributions from EIF, Opps IX and a separate account in our Strategic Credit strategy. As we had not commenced Opps IX's investment period as of June 30, 2013, management fees were assessed only on its drawn capital. The increase in fees from Mezz III resulted from the fact that two-thirds of its 1.50% annual management fee rate is contingent on the fund achieving certain cash flow levels.
Open-end funds.    Management fees attributable to open-end funds increased $10.9 million, or 17.8%, to $72.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $61.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected higher management fees across the U.S. high yield bond, U.S. senior loan and convertible securities strategies, as a result of market-value appreciation, net inflows and, in the case of convertible securities, an increase of $3.2 million (to $1.7 million) in performance-based fees. The period-end weighted average annual management fee rate for open-end funds increased to 0.49% as of June 30, 2013, from 0.47% as of June 30, 2012, primarily as a result of higher performance-based fees.
Evergreen funds.    Management fees attributable to evergreen funds increased $0.2 million, or 1.1%, to $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected market-value appreciation in VOF and net inflows in our Strategic Credit strategy, largely offset by net outflows from EMAR. The period-end weighted average annual management fee rate for evergreen funds decreased to 1.72% as of June 30, 2013, from 1.80% as of June 30, 2012, largely as a result of net inflows in our Strategic Credit strategy, which as of June 30, 2013 had an average fee rate of 1.00%.

Investments in companies relate principally to our one-fifth ownership interest in DoubleLine, which contributed $10.0 million and $8.9 million of investment income in the current-year and prior-year periods, respectively. In the current-year period, DoubleLine incurred a placement fee associated with the launch of a closed-end fund and a non-cash charge related to the firm's employee ownership interests; excluding the effect of those two expenses, the current-year period's investment income of $10.0 million would have been investment income of approximately $21 million. Our share of performance fees from DoubleLine generated investment income of $3.0 million and $2.4 million in the current-year and prior-year periods, respectively. The DoubleLine fund primarily responsible for generating performance fees was below its high-water mark as of June 30, 2013.
Segment Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits increased $19.1 million, or 11.6%, to $183.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $164.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase primarily reflected growth in headcount of 9.2% between June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, and secondarily reflected $5.8 million of higher phantom equity plan expense (to $3.8 million in the current-year period) tied to changes in our Class A unit trading price.
Equity-based Compensation
Equity-based compensation increased to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from zero in the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting 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 $170.5 million, or 192.2%, to $259.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $88.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase primarily resulted from the 247.0% increase in incentive income over the same period. The increase in incentive income compensation expense would have been $36.4 million greater had we not acquired and expensed in 2011 a small portion of certain investment professionals' carried interest in Opps VIIb.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $4.3 million, or 8.7%, to $53.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $49.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of foreign currency-related items, as well as $2.1 million in non-recurring costs associated with our initial public offering that

71


were incurred in the prior-year period, general and administrative expenses increased $6.8 million, or 14.6%, to $53.3 million from $46.5 million. The increase reflected costs associated with corporate growth and being a public company.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.5 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, decreased $1.7 million, or 10.5%, to $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting scheduled repayments of certain long-term debt and a lower weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings resulting from both Oaktree's improved credit rating and refinancing our credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net decreased to income of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from income of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The current-year income reflected the net results of operating the portfolio of properties received as part of an arbitration award in 2010 related to a former principal and portfolio manager of our real estate group who left in 2005. The prior-year income primarily reflected a gain on the sale of a real estate property received as part of the 2010 arbitration award.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income increased $293.6 million, or 86.6%, to $632.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $339.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected higher net incentive income of $303.1 million and investment income of $29.0 million, partially offset by a $38.1 million decline in fee-related earnings.
Income Taxes-OCG
Income taxes decreased $3.1 million, or 17.3%, to $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, from $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This expense declined, despite an increase in adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes, because of a year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate and because the prior-year period included a nonrecurring tax expense of $7.1 million stemming from a remeasurement of deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate applied against adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 11%, based on an estimated annual rate of 11%. The effective tax rate applied against adjusted net income-OCG before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 18%, based on an estimated annual rate of 18%, without the $7.1 million nonrecurring tax expense, and 28%, based on an estimated annual rate of 24%, with it. The effective income 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 Statement of Financial Condition
The following table presents our segment statement of financial condition as of June 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012. 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. Our segment’s receivables do not include accrued incentives (fund level), an off-balance sheet metric. 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 have managed our historical 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 June 30, 2013, we had cash and investments in U.S. Treasury and government agency securities of $1.1 billion, and $592.0 million in outstanding debt. Additionally, we have a $500 million revolving credit facility available to us, which was undrawn as of June 30, 2013. Oaktree’s investments in funds and companies had a carrying value of $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2013. While all of these investments in funds and companies follow the equity method of accounting, whereby original cost is adjusted for Oaktree’s share of income/loss and distributions, investments in funds reflect each fund’s holdings at fair value, whereas investments in DoubleLine and other companies are not adjusted to reflect the fair value of the underlying companies.
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 June 30, 2013, corporate investments, at equity of $1.1 billion included unrealized investment income of $314.0 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, also is 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.
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 amounts as between any given periods are 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

74


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 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 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 six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are discussed below.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.5 billion and $2.7 billion for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts included for the first six months of 2013 and 2012 (a) net proceeds from maturities and sales of investments of the consolidated funds of $3.5 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively; (b) net realized gains on investments of the consolidated funds of $2.0 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively; and (c) changes in unrealized gains on investments of the consolidated funds of $0.9 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used $570.8 million of cash in the first six months of 2013 and provided $7.1 million of cash in the first six months of 2012. Investing activities were primarily driven by net U.S. Treasury and other U.S. 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 purchases of $567.5 million for the first six months of 2013 and net dispositions of $5.5 million for the first six months of 2012. Corporate investments in funds and companies of $3.4 million and $7.3 million for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively, consisted of the following:

Purchases of fixed assets were $1.4 million and $3.5 million for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.9 billion and $2.6 billion for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the first six months of 2013 and 2012, financing activities included (a) net distributions from consolidated funds to non-controlling interests of $4.5 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively; (b) net borrowings on revolving credit facilities of the consolidated funds of $1,011.0 million and $170.7 million, respectively; (c) distributions to unitholders of $414.2 million and $192.4 million, respectively; (d) repayment of debt obligations of $23.2 million and $25.7 million, respectively; and (e) purchases of OCGH units, net of issuance of Class A units, of $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The prior-year period included $14.1 million in repurchases of Class A units.
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 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 (the “Credit Facility”) with a bank syndicate for senior unsecured credit facilities, consisting of a $250 million fully-funded term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $500 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), each with a 5-year term. The Credit Facility replaced the previous credit facility and the Term Loan replaced the prior amortizing term loan, which had a principal balance of $247.5 million. The Term Loan amortizes quarterly in an amount 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. 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 bulk of the first four years of the Term Loan’s annual interest rate is fixed at 2.60%, 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, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.5-to-1.0 and minimum required levels of assets under management and net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of $50 billion and $600 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, 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 January 2011, 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 facility with a bank syndicate, consisting of a $300 million fully-funded term loan and a $250 million three-year revolving credit facility. We were required to make quarterly principal payments of $7.5 million in respect of the term loan in March, June, September and December,

76


with the final payment of $150 million, constituting the remainder of the term loan, due on January 7, 2016. This credit facility was terminated and replaced by the Credit Facility in December 2012, with proceeds from the Term Loan used to pay off the $247.5 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 June 30, 2013, 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 (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 June 30, 2013, 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 June 30, 2013, we were required to maintain approximately $12.6 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 the our initial public offering.
On May 29, 2013, we issued and sold 8,050,000 Class A units in a public offering at a price to the public of $53.50 per Class A unit (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.
No amounts were paid under the tax receivable agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

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 2013 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 2013 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 June 30, 2013.
As of June 30, 2013, none of the incentive income we had recognized was subject to clawback by the funds.

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 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.

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 (Depreciation) on Consolidated Funds’ Investments
As of June 30, 2013, we had investments at fair value of $37.6 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 $3.8 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 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 six months ended June 30, 2013, an incremental 10% decline in market values of the investments held in our funds would have caused an approximate $10.4 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 fixed or determinable, 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

80


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 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 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 six months ended June 30, 2013, an incremental 10% decline in fair values of the investments held in our funds and other holdings would have reduced our investment income by $116.7 million. 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 financial instruments.
We estimate that for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a 10% decline in the average rate of exchange of the U.S. dollar would have had the following approximate effects on our segment results:
our management fees (relating to (a) and (b) above) would have increased by $5.5 million;
our operating expenses would have increased by $5.8 million;  
OCGH interest in net income of consolidated subsidiaries would have decreased by $0.2 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 June 30, 2013, Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries had $592.0 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 bulk of the term loan interest rate to a fixed rate through 2016. As a result, we estimate that 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 $1.1 billion of aggregate segment cash and cash-equivalents and investments in U.S. Treasury and government agency securities as of June 30, 2013, we estimate Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries would generate an additional $11.3 million in interest income on an annualized basis as a result of a 100-basis point increase in interest rates.

81


Our consolidated funds have debt obligations that include revolving credit agreements 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 June 30, 2013, $1.5 billion was outstanding under these credit facilities. We estimate that interest expense relating to variable rates would increase on an annual basis by $15.1 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.

(1)
Reflects the capital contributions of investors in the fund, net of any distributions to such investors of uninvested capital.
(2)
Excludes Oaktree segment incentive income recognized since inception.
(3)
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. 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)
Calculated as Drawn Capital plus gross income before fees and expenses divided by Drawn Capital.
(6)
The IRR is not considered meaningful (“nm”) as the period from the initial contribution through June 30, 2013 is less than one year.
(7)
As of June 30, 2013, Oaktree Opportunities Fund IX, L.P. had made an aggregate 10% drawdown against its $5.0 billion of committed capital. Oaktree has not yet commenced the fund's investment period and, as a result, as of June 30, 2013 management fees were assessed only on the drawn capital, and management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of committed capital.
(8)
Represents certain predecessor funds within the relevant strategy that have completely liquidated their assets or whose remaining assets represent less than 5% of the committed capital of such fund. Includes 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.
(9)
Aggregate IRRs based on conversion of OCM European Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Oaktree European Principal Fund III, L.P. cash flows from Euros to USD at the June 30, 2013 spot rate of $1.30.
(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. Of the $2,322 million in capital commitments, $1,161 million relates to the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P. The gross and net IRR for the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P. were 24.8% and 18.7%, respectively, as of June 30, 2013.
(11)
Represents amounts related to the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, L.P. only.
(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. Net IRR for Class A interests is 10.7% and Class B interests is 10.0%. Combined net IRR for the Class A and Class B interests is 10.3%.
(13)
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. Net IRR for Class A interests is 10.4% and Class B interests is (0.9)%. Combined net IRR for Class A and Class B interests is 7.5%.
(14)
Represents gross assets, including leverage of $1,437 million.
(15)
Totals based on conversion of Euro amounts to USD at the June 30, 2013 spot rate of $1.30.
(16)
Includes separate accounts and a non-Oaktree fund.
(17)
Excludes one separate account with management fee-generating AUM of $400 million as of June 30, 2013, which has been included as part of the Strategic Credit strategy within the evergreen funds table.
