Marginal YoY decline

In 3Q17, the Carlyle Group’s (CG) Corporate Private Equity division saw a marginal decline in distributable earnings, from $209 million in 3Q16 to $207 million in 3Q17. That was mostly due to a decline in the division’s fee-related earnings (or FRE).

In 3Q17, the division’s FRE was $3 million compared to $17 million in 3Q16. That substantial YoY (year-over-year) decline came on the back of a rise in compensation expenses.

The Carlyle Group has total debt of $5.2 billion. Let’s look at the total debt for other alternative asset managers (XLF):

  • Blackstone Group (BX): $11.3 billion
  • Apollo Global Management (APO): $2.2 billion
  • KKR & Co. (KKR): $19.7 billion

Carlyle’s Corporate Private Equity division reported net performance fees of $81 million in 3Q17. The division’s carry fund portfolio rose 4%. However, the division saw a fall in investment income, from $15 million in 3Q16 to $11 million in 3Q17.
