NEW YORK, Aug. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perella Weinberg Partners (the “Firm” or “PWP”) (NASDAQ:PWP) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.Revenues
For the second quarter of 2024, revenues were $272.0 million, an increase of 64% from $165.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. For the first half of 2024, revenues were $374.1 million, an increase of 26% from $297.0 million for the first half of 2023. The higher revenues in both current year periods was attributable to increased mergers and acquisition and financing and capital solutions activity, driven by larger transactions and related fee events across the business.

As previously disclosed, effective April 1, 2024, we merged AdCo Professional Partners LP (“Professional Partners”) with PWP Holdings LP (“PWP OpCo”). During the second quarter of 2024, we accelerated the vesting of certain partnership unit awards, some of which were modified to allow for conversion into cash upon vesting to facilitate the payment of taxes associated with the vesting of these awards to align with the treatment of restricted stock units (collectively, the “Vesting Acceleration”). Pursuant to GAAP, this modification caused certain awards to be reclassified from equity to liability classification, resulting in incremental compensation expense from fair value measurement through the date of vesting.Three Months Ended
GAAP total compensation and benefits were $310.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $148.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, which includes in the current period incremental compensation expense related to the one-time Vesting Acceleration. Adjusted total compensation and benefits were $168.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $113.6 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in total compensation and benefits was due to a larger bonus accrual on an absolute dollar basis associated with higher revenues, partially offset by the quarterly impact of decreasing the year-to-date adjusted compensation ratio to 68%.
GAAP non-compensation expenses were $43.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $38.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted non-compensation expenses were $41.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $36.4 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in non-compensation expenses was largely driven by an increase in professional fees including legal, higher depreciation expense tied to our New York office renovation, and a bad debt write-off, partially offset by a decline in general, administrative and other expenses and lower rent and occupancy costs.
Six Months Ended
GAAP total compensation and benefits were $425.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $266.1 million for the prior year period, which includes in the current period incremental compensation expense related to the one-time Vesting Acceleration. Adjusted total compensation and benefits were $254.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $199.0 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in total compensation and benefits was due to a larger bonus accrual on an absolute dollar basis associated with higher revenues along with a higher compensation margin. At the end of the second quarter, the Firm accrued year-to-date adjusted compensation at a 68% margin, reflecting business and industry conditions and the need to support talent investment.
GAAP non-compensation expenses were $84.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $75.4 million for the prior year period. Adjusted non-compensation expenses were $78.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $70.9 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in non-compensation expenses was largely driven by an increase in professional fees including legal, higher depreciation expense tied to our New York and London office renovation and relocation, and a bad debt write-off, partially offset by a decline in general, administrative and other expenses and lower rent and occupancy costs.
Provision for Income Taxes
Perella Weinberg Partners currently owns 61.5% of the operating partnership (PWP OpCo) and is subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income tax on its allocable share of earnings. Income earned by the operating partnership is subject to certain state, local, and foreign income taxes.
For purposes of calculating adjusted if-converted net income, we have presented our results as if all partnership units had been converted to shares of Class A common stock, and as if all of our adjusted results for the period were subject to U.S. corporate income tax. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the effective tax rate for adjusted if-converted net income was 26%. This tax rate includes a $3.1 million benefit from the vesting of restricted stock units at a share price higher than the grant price.
Balance Sheet and Capital Management
As of June 30, 2024, PWP had $185.3 million of cash with no outstanding indebtedness and an undrawn revolving credit facility.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, PWP returned $161.5 million in aggregate to our equity holders through (i) the settlement of 6,149,211 PWP OpCo units in connection with the Vesting Acceleration at a price of $14.07 per unit and the net settlement of 1,953,787 share equivalents at an average price per share of $13.22, (ii) the settlement of exchanges of 1,343,257 PWP OpCo units for cash at $15.17 per unit and the repurchase of 1,000,000 shares pursuant to a contractual repurchase right at $15.00 per share, (iii) the payment of $5.2 million in distributions to limited partners, and (iv) the payment of aggregate dividends of $8.6 million to Class A common stockholders. Certain tax withholding amounts related to the above activity were accrued and unpaid as of June 30, 2024 and are expected to be paid within one year.
At June 30, 2024, there were 52.5 million shares of Class A common stock and 33.3 million partnership units outstanding.
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share of Class A common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 16, 2024 to Class A common stockholders of record on September 5, 2024.

In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we monitor certain non-GAAP financial measures to manage our business, make planning decisions, evaluate our performance and allocate resources. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are key financial indicators of our business performance over the long term and provide useful information regarding whether cash provided by operating activities is sufficient to maintain and grow our business. We believe that the methodology for determining these non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful supplemental information to help investors better understand the economics of our platform.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the analysis of other GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not universally consistent calculations, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Other companies may calculate similarly titled financial measures differently. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, you should examine our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this press release.
Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using these non-GAAP financial measures through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables at the end of this release for an explanation of the adjustments and reconciliations to the comparable GAAP numbers.

Notes to GAAP Reconciliation of Adjusted Results:(1) Equity-based compensation not dilutive to investors in PWP or PWP OpCo includes the amortization of legacy awards granted to certain partners prior to the business combination that closed on June 24, 2021 (the “Business Combination”) and the amortization of awards granted by Professional Partners (the “Professional Partners Awards”), which were subject to the Vesting Acceleration in the second quarter of 2024. The vesting of these awards does not economically dilute PWP shareholders’ interests relative to the interests of other investors in PWP OpCo. The legacy awards were fully amortized as of September 30, 2023.
(2) Public company transaction related incentives includes equity-based compensation for transaction-related restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”) which are directly related to milestone events that were part of the Business Combination process and reorganization. These payments were outside of PWP’s normal and recurring bonus and compensation processes.
(3) During the second quarter of 2023, we began a review of the business, which resulted in headcount reductions in order to improve compensation alignment and to provide greater flexibility to advance strategic opportunities. Costs were incurred through the first quarter of 2024 and included separation and transition benefits and the accelerated amortization (net of forfeitures) of certain equity-based awards, including certain Professional Partners Awards and transaction-related RSUs and PSUs, which would have been adjusted through adjustments (1) and (2) above notwithstanding the business realignment.
(4) On November 30, 2016, we completed a business combination with Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co., LLC (TPH), an independent advisory firm focused on the energy industry. The adjustment reflects the amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisition, and such assets will be fully amortized by November 30, 2026.
(5) Transaction costs that were expensed associated with the Business Combination, including (i) equity-based vesting for transaction-related RSUs issued to non-employees and (ii) costs incurred related to the partnership restructuring that was contemplated during the implementation of the up-C structure at the time of the Business Combination.
(6) See reconciliation below for the components of the consolidated statements of operations included in non-compensation expense—GAAP as well as Adjusted non-compensation expense.
(7) Includes (i) the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs for all periods presented, (ii) minimal charges related to the Vesting Acceleration for the three and six months ended June 2024, and (iii) a non-operating loss on investment for the three and six months ended June 2023.
(8) The adjusted income tax expense represents the Company’s calculated tax expense on adjusted non-GAAP results. It excludes the impact on income taxes of certain transaction-related items and other items not reflected in our adjusted non-GAAP results. It does not represent the cash that the Company expects to pay for taxes in the current periods.
(9) The if-converted income tax expense represents the Company's calculated tax expense on adjusted non-GAAP results assuming the exchange of all partnership units for PWP Class A common stock, resulting in all of the Company’s results for the period being subject to corporate-level tax.
(10) Represents the dilutive impact under the treasury stock method of unvested RSUs and PSUs.
(11) Represents the dilutive impact assuming the vesting and conversion of all PWP OpCo units to shares of Class A common stock.
