LEADERSHIP COMMENTARY

John S. Weinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "Evercore's results demonstrate our strong competitive and financial positioning. 2022 also marked a year of investment for our firm as we continued to invest in our businesses and serve our clients. We remain focused on executing our growth strategy and we believe the breadth and depth of our diverse platform will continue to drive long-termvalue."

Roger C. Altman, Founder and Senior Chairman, "Evercore realized the second best year in its history, and again gained market share, despite weakening macroeconomic conditions as the year progressed. We don't yet know how 2023 will unfold, but, competitively speaking, the Firm has never been more strongly positioned."

Evercore's quarterly results may fluctuate significantly due to the timing and amount of transaction fees earned, as well as other factors. Accordingly, financial results in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results over a longer period of time.

Business Segments:

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company changed the name of its "Investment Banking" segment to "Investment Banking & Equities".

Evercore's business results are categorized into two segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. Investment Banking & Equities includes providing advice to clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic corporate transactions, as well as services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Investment Management includes Wealth Management and interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company, as well as advising third-party investors through affiliates. See pages A-2 to A-9 for further information and reconciliations of these segment results to our U.S. GAAP consolidated results.

Non-GAAP Measures:

Throughout this release certain information is presented on an adjusted basis, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), and then those results are adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of certain Evercore LP Units into Class A shares. Evercore believes that the disclosed adjusted measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare Evercore's results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of Evercore's operating results. Evercore uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, have been excluded from Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. These charges in 2022 relate to charges associated with the prepayment of the Company's $67 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.23% Series B senior notes, originally due March 30, 2023 (the "Series B Notes"), as well as certain professional fees, separation benefits and other charges related to the ongoing wind-down of the Company's operations in Mexico.

The gain on the sale of a portion of the Company's interests in ABS in the first quarter of 2022 has been excluded from Adjusted Net Revenues.

Evercore's Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 were higher than U.S. GAAP, as a result of the inclusion of certain Evercore LP Units and Unvested Restricted Stock Units.

Further details of these adjustments, as well as an explanation of similar amounts for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 are included in pages A-2 to A-9.

Advisory Fees - Fourth quarter Advisory Fees decreased $267.0 million, or 27%, year-over-year, reflecting a decrease in the number of Advisory fees earned and a decline in revenue earned from large transactions during the fourth quarter of 2022. Full year Advisory Fees decreased $359.0 million, or 13%, year-over-year, reflecting a decrease in the number of Advisory fees earned.

Underwriting Fees - Fourth quarter Underwriting Fees decreased $20.9 million, or 32%, year-over-year, and full year Underwriting Fees decreased $124.1 million, or 50%, year-over-year. The decrease principally reflects a decrease in the number of transactions we participated in due to the decline in overall market issuances.

4

Commissions and Related Revenue - Fourth quarter Commissions and Related Revenue decreased $1.2 million, or 2%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower trading volumes, partially offset by increased revenues from research subscriptions. Full year Commissions and Related Revenue increased $0.4 million year-over-year, primarily reflecting increased revenues from research subscriptions, partially offset by lower trading volumes.

Asset Management and Administration Fees - Fourth quarter Asset Management and Administration Fees decreased $1.9 million, or 11%, year-over-year, driven by a decrease in fees from Wealth Management clients, as associated AUM decreased 14%, primarily from market depreciation. Full year Asset Management and Administration Fees decreased $1.3 million, or 2%, year-over-year, driven by a decrease in fees from Wealth Management clients, as associated AUM decreased 14%, primarily from market depreciation.

Other Revenue - Fourth quarter Other Revenue, net, increased $6.6 million, or 90%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting higher gains in our fixed income investment portfolios, which primarily consist of U.S. treasury bills, and higher interest income, partially offset by lower performance of our investment funds portfolio due to the overall market decline. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program. Full year Other Revenue, net, decreased $43.4 million year-over-year, primarily reflecting a shift from gains of $29.0 million in 2021 to losses of $29.8 million in 2022 on our investment funds portfolio due to the overall market decline. The decrease was also driven by a $4.4 million gain on the redemption of the G5 debt security in 2021. This was partially offset by higher gains in our fixed income investment portfolios and higher interest income, as well as a $1.3 million gain on the sale of a portion of our interests in ABS during 2022.

Realignment Costs

Employee Compensation and Benefits - Fourth quarter Employee Compensation and Benefits decreased $36.1 million, or 6%, year-over-year, reflecting a compensation ratio of 62.9% for the quarter versus 50.1% for the prior year period. The decrease in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a lower accrual for incentive compensation, partially offset by higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. Full year Employee Compensation and Benefits decreased $151.2 million, or 8%, year-over-year, reflecting a full year compensation ratio of 61.5% versus 56.2% for the prior year period. The decrease in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a lower accrual for incentive compensation, partially offset by higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. The Compensation Ratio was also impacted by the lower performance of our investment funds portfolio during the current year period. See "Deferred Compensation" for more information.
