UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are based on the historical financial information of PJT Partners Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and CamberView Partners, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries (“CamberView”) and give effect to the business combination as described in Note 1. “Description of Acquisition and Basis of Presentation” (referred to as the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Estimates of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of CamberView have been combined with the recorded values of the assets and liabilities of PJT Partners Inc. in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2018 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017. The pro forma adjustments presented give effect to pro forma events that are (a) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (b) factually supportable, and (c) with respect to the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results following the Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with (a) the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes of PJT Partners Inc. included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes of PJT Partners Inc. included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, (c) the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto of CamberView as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, included in Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, and (d) the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes of CamberView as of September 30, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and in accordance with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not intended to represent or necessarily be indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the Acquisition had been completed during the period or as of the dates for which the pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented, and the impact of possible revenue enhancements and expense efficiencies, among other factors, have not been considered. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the preliminary allocation of the purchase price reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment.

DESCRIPTION OF ACQUISITION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Acquisition

On October 1, 2018, PJT Partners Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously-announced acquisition of CamberView Partners Holdings, LLC (“CamberView Parent”). CamberView Partners Holdings, LLC is the sole member of CamberView Partners, LLC, a leading advisory firm providing independent advice to assist public company boards of directors and management teams in building strong and successful relationships with investors.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, PJT Partners Holdings LP (“Purchaser”), Blue Merger Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser, CamberView Parent and CC CVP Partners Holdings, L.L.C., solely in its capacity as securityholder representative, dated as of August 27, 2018 (the “Agreement”), the Company acquired 100% ownership of CamberView Parent in exchange for a combination of (a) $59.8 million in cash, which includes the payoff of an existing loan facility held by CamberView Parent; (b) 0.1 million Class A partnership units in PJT Partners Holdings LP (“Partnership Units”); and (c) 1.4 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued at closing. A portion of the closing consideration was placed into escrow to cover potential post-closing obligations of the selling unitholders.

PJT Partners Holdings LP, as borrower (the “Borrower”), entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and related documents with First Republic Bank, as lender (the “Lender”), which provides for a term loan with an aggregate commitment of $30 million (the “Term Loan”) as well as a revolving credit facility.

The Term Loan matures on January 2, 2021. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest equal to the greater of a per annum rate of (a) 3.25%, or (b) the prime rate minus 0.75%. Borrower shall also pay to the Lender installment payments of principal in the amount of (a) $4.25 million commencing on July 1, 2019 and quarterly thereafter to January 2, 2021, and (b) $4.5 million on January 2, 2021.

During an event of default, overdue principal under the Term Loan facility will bear interest at a rate 2.0% in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest.

The Company has also granted restricted stock and/or units and other deferred compensation, subject to service or service and market conditions, to a broad-based group of CamberView employees, which will vest over time. These awards will be expensed over the service period during which they are earned and have not been recorded as a component of the purchase price.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on the Company’s historical financial information and the historical financial information of CamberView Partners, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries (“CamberView”).

The pro forma condensed combined financial information reflect management’s best estimate of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date based upon a preliminary valuation analysis. The pro forma adjustments included herein may be revised as additional information becomes available and as the analysis is finalized. Accordingly, the final purchase price adjustments may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented herein.

Additionally, certain revenue, expense and balance sheet amounts in the historical financial statements of CamberView have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s historical financial statement presentation.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that CamberView adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of the date the Company adopted the new revenue guidance on January 1, 2018. No pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as such adoption was not material to the historical financial statements of CamberView.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the Acquisition actually taken place at the dates indicated and do not purport to be indicative of the future financial condition or operating results of the combined company.

The preliminary estimate of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, which consist of CamberView’s customer relationships and trade name, is based, in part, on a valuation using an income approach. The Company considered, among other factors, the analyses of historical financial performance and an estimate of the future performance of the CamberView business. The risk adjusted discount rates used to compute the present value of individual intangible assets expected net cash flows were based upon PJT Partners Inc.’s estimated weighted average cost of capital. The estimated fair value ascribed to the identifiable intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful life of each of the intangible assets over periods ranging between four to eight years. The carrying value of all other assets and liabilities was deemed to approximate their estimated fair value. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired.

The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include changes to the allocations to identifiable intangible assets, goodwill, deferred tax balances or other assets and liabilities.

In addition to the equity consideration provided to the selling unitholders of CamberView, under the terms of the Agreement, the selling unitholders are entitled to receive a post closing distribution for the amount of net working capital as of September 30, 2018, in excess of thresholds defined in the Agreement. Amounts distributed will be accounted for as measurement period adjustments.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information – continued

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data, Except Where Noted)

 

(f)

Reflects the removal of share-based compensation expense from the historical CamberView results and inclusion of compensation expense related to share-based and cash awards granted in connection with the Acquisition.

 

(g)

Reflects the removal of transaction costs from the historical results of the Company and CamberView that were recognized in non-compensation expense items (primarily legal fees) and were non-recurring charges directly attributable to the Acquisition.

 

(h)

Reflects the removal of interest expense from the historical CamberView results and inclusion of estimated interest expense related to the term loan borrowings used to fund a portion of the Acquisition. Interest expense was estimated using the applicable current interest rate of 4.5% and assuming scheduled payments were made during the respective periods according to the terms in the Loan Agreement. Additionally, reflects the removal of other transaction costs from the historical results of the Company and CamberView that were recognized in non-compensation expense items and were non-recurring charges directly attributable to the Acquisition.

 

(i)

Reflects the estimated income tax expense related to the historical earnings of CamberView, which will be subject to corporate taxes as a result of the acquisition by PJT Partners Inc., net of the tax benefit resulting from the pro forma adjustments, applying PJT Partners Inc.’s statutory tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2017 (37.5%) and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (23.8%), respectively.

 

The Acquisition is treated as an asset purchase for tax purposes. Similar to the purchase accounting method used for book purposes, the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill for tax purposes. The amount of goodwill recorded for tax purposes will be determined based on the consideration paid at closing and will be amortized for tax purposes ratably over a fifteen year period. An estimated deferred tax asset has been recognized with respect to the excess of tax goodwill over book goodwill.

 

(j)

Reflects the allocation of net income of historical CamberView results and pro forma adjustments after giving effect to the Acquisition.

 

(k)

Reflects the addition of 1.4 million shares of PJT Partners Inc. Class A common stock issued to the selling unitholders at closing as well as the estimated dilutive effect of Partnership Units and restricted stock unit awards, assuming the escrow amounts are settled as expected. Such dilutive effect was estimated assuming all Partnership Units and restricted stock unit awards were issued on January 1, 2017.
