Compensation and Benefits Expense

Three Months Ended

GAAP Compensation and Benefits Expense was $154.7 million for second quarter 2020 compared with $119.2 million for the prior year quarter. Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense was $151.1 million for the current quarter compared with $106.7 million for the prior year quarter. The increase in Compensation and Benefits Expense was principally the result of higher revenues during the current quarter.

Six Months Ended

GAAP Compensation and Benefits Expense was $288.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with $214.3 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense was $281.3 million for the six months compared with $188.6 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in Compensation and Benefits Expense was principally the result of higher revenues during the current six month period.

4


Non-Compensation Expense

Three Months Ended

GAAP Non-Compensation Expense was $28.2 million for second quarter 2020 compared with $33.9 million for the prior year quarter. Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense was $26.2 million for the current quarter compared with $31.9 million for the prior year quarter.

GAAP and Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense decreased during the current quarter compared with the prior year quarter, primarily driven by a decrease in Travel and Related due to reduced travel and entertainment activity stemming from the global health crisis.

Six Months Ended

GAAP Non-Compensation Expense was $60.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with $66.9 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense was $56.8 million for the six months compared with $62.9 million for the same period a year ago.

GAAP and Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense decreased during the six months compared with the same period a year ago, primarily driven by decreases in Travel and Related as well as Professional Fees, and partially offset by an increase in Occupancy and Related. Travel and Related decreased due to reduced travel and entertainment activity stemming from the global health crisis. Professional Fees decreased primarily due to lower legal and lower recruiting costs. Occupancy and Related increased due to increased occupancy expense in certain locations.

Provision for Taxes

As of June 30, 2020, PJT Partners Inc. owned 61.1% of PJT Partners Holdings LP. PJT Partners Inc. is subject to corporate U.S. federal and state income tax while PJT Partners Holdings LP is subject to New York City unincorporated business tax and other entity-level taxes imposed by certain state and foreign jurisdictions. Please refer to Note 12. “Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in “Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for further information about the corporate ownership structure.

In calculating Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted, the Company has assumed that all outstanding Class A partnership units in PJT Partners Holdings LP (“Partnership Units”) (excluding the unvested partnership units that have yet to satisfy certain market conditions) have been exchanged into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, subjecting all of the Company’s income to corporate-level tax.

The effective tax rate for Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 25.8% compared with 25.5% for full year 2019. This tax rate excludes the tax benefits of the adjustments for transaction-related compensation expense, amortization expense, tax benefit recorded pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) as well as certain payments to The Blackstone Group Inc. (“Blackstone”) resulting from the October 1, 2015 spin-off.

Capital Management and Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2020, the Company held cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $247.0 million, and had no funded debt.

5


On April 24, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in an amount up to $100 million. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s remaining repurchase authorization was $59.9 million.

During the second quarter 2020, the Company repurchased 176,929 Partnership Units for cash pursuant to the quarterly exchange program. In aggregate during second quarter 2020, the Company repurchased an equivalent of 177,294 shares at an average price of $49.59 per share.

The Company intends to repurchase 202,384 Partnership Units for cash on August 4, 2020 at a price to be determined by the volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock on July 30, 2020.

Dividend

The Board of Directors of PJT Partners Inc. has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 16, 2020 to Class A common stockholders of record on September 2, 2020.

COVID-19 Impact on Operations and Outlook

 

>

The vast majority of the Company’s employees have been working remotely since mid-March 2020. There have been no material changes to the Company’s internal controls as a result of this new working environment. The Company has undertaken steps to allow a limited number of employees to return to office locations on a voluntary basis, following safety protocols issued from the respective governmental agencies for the Company’s offices. The Company is continuing to monitor guidance from health and governmental organizations to determine when a greater number of employees may be able to safely return to the office. However, the Company is prepared to operate in a remote work environment for the foreseeable future, if necessary.

 

>

The Company’s financial condition is strong. The Company has substantial cash balances, currently has no debt, and has not identified any impairments. The Company also maintains access to a $40 million line of credit facility. While the Company currently has not experienced a material decline in the demand for its services, the Company believes COVID-19’s impact on its business, financial performance and operating results will be significantly driven by a number of factors that are unable to be predicted or controlled, such as the depth and duration of the pandemic and the impact on the U.S. and global economies. These external factors could have a material effect on the Company’s financial performance and operating results going forward.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain material presented herein contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include certain information concerning future results of operations, business strategies, acquisitions, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believe,” “expect,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “could” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, many of which are outside the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance upon any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (a) changes in governmental regulations and policies; (b) the possibility of cyberattacks, security vulnerabilities, and internet disruptions, including breaches of data security and privacy leaks, data loss, and business interruptions; (c) the possibility of failure of the Company’s computer systems or communication systems during a catastrophic event, including the outbreak of COVID-19; (d) the impact of catastrophic events, such as COVID-19, on the U.S. and the global economy, including business disruptions, reductions in employment and an increase in business failures; (e) the impact of catastrophic events, such as COVID-19, on the Company’s employees and the Company’s ability to provide services to its clients and respond to their needs; (f) the failure of third-party service providers to perform their functions; and (g) volatility in the political and economic environment.

The risk factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. There may be other risks and uncertainties that the Company is unable to predict at this time or that are not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. Any such risks could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following represent key performance measures that management uses in making resource allocation and/or compensation decisions. These measures should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes the following non-GAAP measures, when presented together with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors in understanding the Company’s operating results: Adjusted Pretax Income; Adjusted Net Income; Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted, in total and on a per-share basis; Adjusted Earnings Per Share; Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense and Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense. These non-GAAP measures, presented and discussed in this earnings release, remove the significant accounting impact of: (a) transaction-related compensation expense, including expense related to Partnership Units with both time-based vesting and market conditions as well as equity-based and cash awards granted in connection with the spin-off from Blackstone and acquisition of CamberView Partners Holdings, LLC (“CamberView”); (b) intangible asset amortization associated with Blackstone’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the acquisition of PJT Capital LP, and the acquisition of CamberView; and (c) the amount the Company has agreed to pay Blackstone related to the net realized cash benefit from certain compensation-related tax deductions. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures and further detail regarding the adjustments are provided in the Appendix.

To help investors understand the effect of the Company’s ownership structure on its Adjusted Net Income, the Company has presented Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted. This measure illustrates the impact of taxes on Adjusted Pretax Income, assuming all Partnership Units (excluding the unvested partnership units that have yet to satisfy certain market conditions) were exchanged for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, resulting in all of the Company’s income becoming subject to corporate-level tax, considering both current and deferred income tax effects. This tax rate excludes the tax benefits of the adjustments for transaction-related compensation expense, amortization expense, tax benefit recorded pursuant to the CARES Act as well as certain payments to Blackstone resulting from the October 1, 2015 spin-off.

(2)
