LEADERSHIP COMMENTARY

John S. Weinberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, "Our 2025 results reflect strengthening market conditions and the benefits of our diversified business model. We enter 2026 with momentum and remain focused on serving our clients and executing our long-term growth strategy."

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:

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-10 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.

Evercore's Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was higher than U.S. GAAP principally as a result of the exclusion of the following expenses:

•Acquisition-related compensation charges reflecting expenses associated with awards granted in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Robey Warshaw

•Acquisition and Transition Costs including professional fees and certain other costs incurred related to the acquisition of Robey Warshaw and transfer taxes and professional fees incurred resulting from the Company's reorganization of businesses within the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") legal entity structure

•Expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets and interest cost related to deferred acquisition consideration from the Robey Warshaw acquisition

Evercore's Adjusted Diluted Shares Outstanding for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were higher than U.S. GAAP primarily as a result of the inclusion of Evercore LP Units.

Further details of these adjustments, as well as an explanation of similar amounts for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 are included in pages A-2 to A-10.

Reclassifications:

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company changed its U.S. GAAP and Adjusted presentation such that "Communications and Information Services" was renamed to "Technology and Information Services." Technology and related expenses have been reclassified from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services." The Company has reclassified prior periods to conform to the current presentation in this release. There was no impact on previously reported U.S. GAAP or Adjusted Operating Income, Net Income or Earnings Per Share.

The prior period reclassifications from "Professional Fees" to "Technology and Information Services" are as follows: Q1 2025: $10.2 million; Q1 2024: $9.0 million; Q2 2024: $9.9 million; Q3 2024: $10.4 million; Q4 2024: $10.2 million; Q1 2023: $8.6 million; Q2 2023: $8.2 million; Q3 2023: $9.2 million; Q4 2023: $9.1 million. Further details of these reclassifications, as well as a revised presentation for the quarterly results for Q1 2025 and quarterly and full year results for 2024, 2023 and 2022 are available on the Investor Relations section of Evercore's website at www.evercore.com.

Advisory Fees - Fourth quarter Advisory Fees increased $278.7 million, or 33%, year-over-year, and full year Advisory Fees increased $826.5 million, or 34%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting an increase in revenue earned from large transactions and an increase in the number of advisory fees earned during 2025.

Commissions and Related Revenue - Fourth quarter Commissions and Related Revenue increased $8.4 million, or 15%, year-over-year, and full year Commissions and Related Revenue increased $28.6 million, or 13%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting higher trading commissions driven by increased trading volume and higher subscription fees during 2025.

Other Revenue, net - Fourth quarter Other Revenue, net, increased $0.6 million, or 3%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting higher interest income. This increase was partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025. Full year Other Revenue, net, decreased $9.3 million, or 11%, year-over-year, primarily reflecting lower performance of our investment funds portfolio and an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025. These decreases were partially offset by higher interest income resulting from higher average balances in interest-bearing assets. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program.

The increase in Employee Compensation and Benefits compared to the prior year period principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher compensation expense related to senior new hires.

See "Deferred Compensation" for more information.

Non-Compensation Costs - Fourth quarter Non-Compensation Costs increased $41.0 million, or 33%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with research services and license fees in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase in depreciation and amortization, principally reflecting the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Robey Warshaw, an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount, and an increase in other operating expenses related to charitable contributions made to the Evercore Foundation.

impacted by higher net revenues, as described above, during the current year period compared to the prior year period.

Basis of Alternative Financial Statement Presentation

Our Adjusted results are a non-GAAP measure. As discussed further under "Non-GAAP Measures", 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 better reflects how management views its operating results. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of our U.S. GAAP results to Adjusted results is presented in the tables included in the following pages.
