Lazard Ltd (NYSE: LAZ) today reported net income, as adjusted1,
of $80 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Net income per share
as adjusted1, was $0.61 (diluted) for the quarter, compared
to $0.98 (diluted) for the 2015 second quarter2. On a U.S.
GAAP basis, net income was $80 million for the 2016 second quarter, or
$0.61 (diluted) per share, compared to $2.82 (diluted) per share
for the 2015 second quarter, which primarily reflected the reversal of
our valuation allowance2. Pre-tax income per share (diluted),
as adjusted1, was 23% lower than the second quarter of 2015.
First-half 2016 net income was $147 million, or $1.11 per share
(diluted), as adjusted1 and on a U.S. GAAP basis.
A reconciliation of our U.S. GAAP results to the adjusted results is
presented on page 19 of this press release.
“We remain focused on serving our clients with an unmatched breadth and
depth of expertise, global perspective and deep insight into local
markets,” said Kenneth M. Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Lazard.
“Financial Advisory remains active in strategic, complex and
transformational assignments for businesses and governments globally,”
said Mr. Jacobs. “Asset Management achieved net inflows for the second
quarter despite volatile global markets, reflecting our strong
competitive positioning.”
“We have been actively repurchasing Lazard shares,” said Matthieu
Bucaille, Chief Financial Officer of Lazard. “Year to date we have
already surpassed our objective of offsetting potential dilution from
2015 year-end equity grants.”
OPERATING REVENUE
Operating revenue1 was $542 million for the second quarter of
2016 and $1,048 million for the first half, down 11% and 12%,
respectively, from 2015.
Financial Advisory
In the text portion of this press release, we present our Financial
Advisory results as Strategic Advisory and Restructuring. Strategic
Advisory includes 1) M&A and Other Advisory (Other includes Capital
Advisory and Sovereign Advisory) and 2) Capital Raising (includes
Capital Markets Advisory and Private Capital Advisory).
Second Quarter
Financial Advisory operating revenue was $287 million for the second
quarter of 2016, 9% lower than the record second quarter of 2015.
Strategic Advisory operating revenue was $215 million, 26% lower than
the record second quarter of 2015, primarily driven by a decrease in M&A
and Other Advisory revenue.
Among the major M&A transactions that were completed during the second
quarter of 2016 were the following (clients are in italics): TNT
Express on the €4.4 billion public offer by FedEx; China Huaxin
in the $2.9 billion consortium acquisition of a 51% stake in H3C; Airbus’
€2.4 billion sale of a 23.6% stake in Dassault Aviation, and its joint
venture with Safran to create Airbus Safran Launchers; WL Ross
Holding Corp.’s $1.6 billion acquisition of Nexeo Solutions; Skyepharma’s
£1.0 billion merger with Vectura; and Coca-Cola Enterprises’
three-way merger to form Coca-Cola European Partners.
During the second quarter of 2016, Lazard remained engaged in highly
visible, complex M&A transactions and other strategic advisory
assignments, including cross-border transactions, distressed asset
sales, capital structure and sovereign advisory, in the Americas,
Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. Transactions on which we continued
to advise during or since the second quarter include: Dow Chemical’s
$130 billion merger of equals with DuPont; Anheuser-Busch InBev’s $102
billion proposed acquisition of SABMiller; Dell’s $67.0 billion
acquisition of EMC; Aetna’s $37.0 billion acquisition of Humana; Tyco’s
$36.0 billion merger with Johnson Controls; ARM Holdings on the
£24.3 billion recommended all-cash offer by SoftBank Group; and Danone’s
$12.5 billion acquisition of WhiteWave.
In Capital Advisory, we continued to advise public and private clients
globally, including: DONG Energy on its DKK 19.7 billion initial
public offering; Whiting Petroleum’s $1.1 billion exchange of
notes for new mandatory convertible notes; and Advent International
and Bain Capital on the £740 million secondary disposal of a
stake in Worldpay.
Our Sovereign Advisory business remained active worldwide, including
assignments in developed and emerging markets globally.
Restructuring operating revenue was $72 million for the second quarter
of 2016, compared to $26 million for the second quarter of 2015. The
increase primarily reflects a continued high level of activity in the
U.S. energy sector. During and since the second quarter of 2016 we have
been engaged in a broad range of restructuring and debt advisory
assignments, including: Breitburn Energy Partners; Pacific
Exploration & Production; Seventy Seven Energy; Swift Energy; and
Takata.
Please see a more complete list of M&A transactions on which Lazard
advised in the second quarter, or continued to advise or completed since
June 30, 2016, as well as Capital Advisory, Sovereign Advisory and
Restructuring assignments, on pages 8-11 of this release.
First Half
Financial Advisory operating revenue was $553 million for the first half
of 2016, 11% lower than the record first half of 2015.
Strategic Advisory operating revenue was $438 million, 23% lower than
the record first half of 2015, primarily driven by a decrease in M&A and
Other Advisory revenue.
Restructuring operating revenue was $115 million for the first half of
2016, compared to $49 million for the first half of 2015.
Asset Management
Second Quarter
Asset Management operating revenue was $251 million for the second
quarter of 2016, 14% lower than the record second quarter of 2015, which
included the impact of the disposal of our Australian private equity
business2.
Management fees were $238 million for the second quarter of 2016, 8%
lower than the record second quarter of 2015, and 5% higher than the
first quarter of 2016. The sequential increase was primarily driven by
an increase in average assets under management (AUM). Incentive fees
during the period were $1 million, compared to $7 million for the second
quarter of 2015.
Average AUM for the second quarter of 2016 was $193 billion, 5% lower
than the second quarter of 2015, and 4% higher than the first quarter of
2016.
AUM as of June 30, 2016, was $192 billion, a 6% decrease from June 30,
2015. AUM increased 1% from March 31, 2016, primarily driven by net
inflows and market appreciation, partially offset by foreign exchange
movement. Net inflows of $453 million were primarily driven by
strategies in our global, multi-regional and local equity platforms.
First Half
Asset Management operating revenue was $490 million for the first half
of 2016, 13% lower than the record first half of 2015.
Management fees were $465 million for the first half of 2016, 9% lower
than the record first half of 2015, primarily reflecting changes in
average AUM. Incentive fees were $3 million for the first half of 2016,
compared to $13 million for the first half of 2015.
Average AUM for the first half of 2016 was $189 billion, 6% lower than
the first half of 2015. Net inflows were $92 million for the first half
of 2016.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Compensation and Benefits
In managing compensation and benefits expense, we focus on annual
awarded compensation (cash compensation and benefits plus deferred
incentive compensation with respect to the applicable year, net of
estimated future forfeitures and excluding charges). We believe annual
awarded compensation reflects the actual annual compensation cost more
accurately than the GAAP measure of compensation cost, which includes
applicable-year cash compensation and the amortization of deferred
incentive compensation principally attributable to previous years’
deferred compensation. We believe that by managing our business using
awarded compensation with a consistent deferral policy, we can better
manage our compensation costs, increase our flexibility in the future
and build shareholder value over time.
For the second quarter of 2016, we accrued compensation and benefits
expense1 at an adjusted compensation1 ratio of
56.5%. This resulted in $306 million of adjusted compensation and
benefits expense, compared to $337 million for the second quarter of
2015, a 9% decrease.
For the first half of 2016, adjusted compensation and benefits expense1
was $604 million, compared to $661 million for the first half of
2015, a 9% decrease.
We continue to manage our compensation and benefits expense based on
awarded compensation with a consistent deferral policy. Assuming that
the performance of both of our businesses, our hiring levels, and the
compensation environment are similar to 2015, we expect our 2016 awarded
compensation ratio to be in line with the 2015 awarded compensation
ratio of 55.8%.
We continue to maintain a disciplined approach to compensation, and our
goal is to achieve a compensation-to-operating revenue ratio over the
cycle in the mid- to high-50s percentage range on both an awarded and
adjusted basis, with consistent deferral policies.
Non-Compensation Expense
For the second quarter of 2016, adjusted non-compensation expense1,2
was $112 million, 2% higher than the second quarter of 2015. The ratio
of adjusted non-compensation expense to operating revenue for the second
quarter of 2016 was 20.7%, compared to 18.1% for the second quarter of
2015.
For the first half of 2016, adjusted non-compensation expense1,2
was $214 million, 1% lower than the first half of 2015. The ratio of
adjusted non-compensation expense to operating revenue for the first
half of 2016 was 20.4%, compared to 18.2% for the first half of 2015.
Our goal remains to achieve an adjusted non-compensation
expense-to-operating revenue ratio over the cycle of 16% to 20%.
TAXES
The provision for taxes, on an adjusted basis1,2, was $32
million for the second quarter of 2016 and $60 million for the first
half of 2016. The effective tax rate on the same basis was 28.4% for the
second quarter and 28.8% for the first half of 2016, compared to
historically low rates of 11.6% and 18.1% for the respective 2015
periods.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND BALANCE SHEET
Our primary capital management goals include managing debt and
returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share
repurchases.
For the second quarter of 2016, Lazard returned $163 million to
shareholders, which included: $48 million in dividends; $112 million in
share repurchases of our Class A common stock; and $3 million in
satisfaction of employee tax obligations in lieu of share issuances upon
vesting of equity grants.
For the first half of 2016, Lazard returned $491 million to
shareholders, which included: $242 million in dividends; $195 million in
share repurchases of our Class A common stock; and $54 million in
satisfaction of employee tax obligations in lieu of share issuances upon
vesting of equity grants.
Year to date, we have repurchased 6.1 million shares at an average price
of $34.29 per share. In line with our objectives, these repurchases have
more than offset the potential dilution from our 2015 year-end
equity-based compensation awards (net of estimated forfeitures and tax
withholding to be paid in cash in lieu of share issuances), which were
granted at an average price of $34.42 per share. As of today, our
remaining share repurchase authorization is $210 million.
On July 27, 2016, Lazard declared a quarterly dividend of $0.38 per
share on its outstanding common stock. The dividend is payable on August
19, 2016, to stockholders of record on August 8, 2016.
Lazard’s financial position remains strong. As of June 30, 2016, our
cash and cash equivalents were $646 million, and stockholders’ equity
related to Lazard’s interests was $1,146 million.

ENDNOTES
1 A non-U.S. GAAP measure. See attached financial schedules
and related notes for a detailed explanation of adjustments to
corresponding U.S. GAAP results. We believe that presenting our results
on an adjusted basis, in addition to the U.S. GAAP results, is the most
meaningful and useful way to compare our operating results across
periods.
2 Second-quarter and first-half 2015 results were affected by
the following benefits and charges:
-
In the second quarter of 2015, we released $821 million of our
valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets and we recognized a
liability for our Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA) obligation. As a
result, the second quarter U.S. GAAP provision for income taxes
included a benefit of approximately $1.2 billion, which was
substantially offset by an accrual for our TRA obligation of
approximately $962 million. Additionally, revenue relating to the
Company’s disposal of the Australian private equity business was
adjusted by $12 million for the recognition of an obligation, which
was previously recognized for U.S. GAAP. On a U.S. GAAP basis, these
items resulted in a $245 million net benefit, or $1.85 (diluted) per
share in the quarter.
-
First-quarter 2015 results exclude a charge of $63 million relating to
a debt refinancing by Lazard Ltd’s subsidiary Lazard Group LLC, which
completed a refinancing of a substantial majority of the outstanding
$548 million of 6.85% senior notes maturing on June 15, 2017 (the
“2017 Notes”). The charge was comprised primarily of an extinguishment
loss of $60 million and other related costs.

non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for comparable U.S. GAAP measures, and should be read only in
conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. For a detailed explanation of the adjustments
made to comparable U.S. GAAP measures, see Notes to Financial Schedules.

Effective tax rate is a non-GAAP measure based upon the U.S. GAAP
rate with adjustments for the tax applicable to the non-GAAP
adjustments to operating income, generally based upon the effective
marginal tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction of the adjustments.
The computation is based on a quotient, the numerator of which is
the provision for income taxes of $31,872, $27,654, and $17,067 for
the three month periods ended June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016, and
June 30, 2015, respectively, $59,526 and $51,412 for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and the
denominator of which is pre-tax income of $112,229, $94,477, and
$147,327 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2016, March 31,
2016, and June 30, 2015, respectively, $206,706 and $284,706 for the
six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The
