PWP Perella Weinberg Partners

Perella Weinberg Partners (the “Firm” or “PWP”) (NASDAQ:PWP) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Revenues

For the third quarter of 2023, revenues were $139.0 million, a decrease of 4% from $145.4 million for the third quarter of 2022. Revenues attributed to mergers and acquisition activity were up slightly period-over-period, while financing and capital solutions revenues were lower as compared to the third quarter of 2022 which contained a particularly large financing fee.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues were $436.0 million, a decrease of 3% from $448.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Revenues attributed to mergers and acquisition activity were up slightly period-over-period, while financing and capital solutions revenues were lower due to a large financing fee and restructuring fee in the year ago period.

Three Months Ended

GAAP total compensation and benefits were $127.8 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $123.3 million for the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted total compensation and benefits were $93.0 million for the third quarter of 2023 as compared to $93.0 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in GAAP total compensation and benefits was due to a higher compensation margin combined with the impact of business realignment costs associated with employee reductions undertaken year-to-date to improve compensation alignment and to provide for greater flexibility to advance strategic opportunities. The stability in adjusted total compensation and benefits was due to a higher compensation margin on a slightly lower revenue base.

GAAP non-compensation expenses were $37.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared with $30.9 million for the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted non-compensation expenses were $34.3 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared with $27.8 million for the same period a year ago. The increase experienced in both GAAP non-compensation expenses and adjusted non-compensation expenses was largely driven by higher legal spend, a step-up in depreciation expense tied to New York and London office renovations and relocation, an increase in travel and related expenses, a bad debt reserve in the third quarter of 2023, and technology investments.

In the third quarter of 2023, we reached a settlement with the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the self-reporting of our practices relating to recordkeeping of business communications on “off-channel” messaging applications (the “Settlement”). Pursuant to the Settlement, Perella Weinberg Partners LP, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. Securities LLC and Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP, collectively, agreed to pay $2.5 million in the aggregate to the SEC on a joint and several liability basis. The Firm paid the SEC $1.25 million in satisfaction in part of the total settlement amount, with the remainder paid by Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP. GAAP non-compensation expenses also included certain additional expenses related to the Settlement.

Nine Months Ended

GAAP total compensation and benefits were $393.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $378.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Adjusted total compensation and benefits were $291.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $287.0 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in both GAAP total compensation and benefits and adjusted total compensation and benefits was due to a higher compensation margin on a slightly lower revenue base. On a GAAP basis, total compensation and benefits include the impact of aforementioned business realignment costs.

GAAP non-compensation expenses were $113.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with $98.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Adjusted non-compensation expenses were $105.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with $91.0 million for the same period a year ago. The increase experienced in both GAAP non-compensation expenses and adjusted non-compensation expenses was largely driven by an increase in travel and related expenses, legal spend, and technology investments, and higher rent and occupancy costs associated with overlapping rent periods and a related step-up in depreciation expense tied to New York and London office renovation and relocation, partially offset by a reduction in recruiting spend, co-advisory and other consulting fees, and lower D&O insurance costs versus the prior year period. GAAP non-compensation expenses also include certain expenses related to the Settlement.

Provision for Income Taxes

Perella Weinberg Partners currently owns 50.24% of the operating partnership (PWP Holdings LP) and is subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income tax. Income earned by the operating partnership is subject to certain state and foreign income taxes.

For purposes of calculating adjusted if-converted net income, we have presented our results as if all partnership units had been converted to shares of Class A Common Stock, and as if all of our adjusted income for the period was subjected to U.S. corporate income tax. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rate for adjusted if-converted net income was 26%. This tax rate includes a one-time tax benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2023 due to the release of a tax reserve at one of our foreign subsidiaries.

Balance Sheet and Capital Management

As of September 30, 2023, PWP had $196.6 million of cash and short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities. The Firm has no outstanding indebtedness and has an undrawn revolving credit facility.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, PWP returned $10.5 million in aggregate to our equity holders through (i) the net settlement of 366,031 share equivalents to satisfy tax withholding obligations at an average price per share of $10.66 and (ii) the payment of $6.6 million in pro rata distributions to limited partners which allowed PWP to pay its dividends of $3.6 million on Class A common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, PWP returned $57.5 million in aggregate to our equity holders through (i) the repurchase of 2,376,683 shares at an average price per share of $9.46 in open market transactions pursuant to PWP’s Class A common stock repurchase program, (ii) the net settlement of 1,544,022 share equivalents to satisfy tax withholding obligations at an average price per share of $10.17 and (iii) the payment of $19.3 million in pro rata distributions to limited partners which allowed PWP to pay its dividends of $10.1 million on Class A common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, PWP made $3.0 million of cash payments related to the business realignment. Current expectations include future cash payments of approximately $16 million related to the business realignment, which are expected to be paid within the next 12 months.

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share of Class A common stock. The dividend will be paid on December 8, 2023 to Class A common stockholders of record on November 24, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we monitor certain non-GAAP financial measures to manage our business, make planning decisions, evaluate our performance and allocate resources. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are key financial indicators of our business performance over the long term and provide useful information regarding whether cash provided by operating activities is sufficient to maintain and grow our business. We believe that the methodology for determining these non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful supplemental information to help investors better understand the economics of our platform.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the analysis of other GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not universally consistent calculations, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Other companies may calculate similarly titled financial measures differently. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, you should examine our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this press release.

Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using these non-GAAP financial measures through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables at the end of this release for an explanation of the adjustments and reconciliations to the comparable GAAP numbers.

Notes to U.S. GAAP Reconciliation of Adjusted Results:
(1)		Equity-based compensation not dilutive to investors in PWP or PWP Holdings LP (“PWP OpCo”) includes amortization of legacy awards granted to certain partners prior to the business combination that closed on June 24, 2021 (the “Business Combination”) and PWP Professional Partners LP (“Professional Partners”) alignment capital units and value capital units awards. The vesting of these awards does not dilute PWP shareholders relative to Professional Partners as Professional Partners’ interest in PWP OpCo does not change as a result of granting those equity awards to its working partners.
(2)		Public company transaction related incentives includes equity-based compensation for transaction-related restricted stock units (“RSUs”) which are directly related to milestone events that were part of the Business Combination process and reorganization. These payments were outside of PWP’s normal and recurring bonus and compensation processes.
(3)		During the second quarter of 2023, we began a review of the business, which is resulting in employee reductions in order to improve compensation alignment and to provide greater flexibility to advance strategic opportunities. Costs include separation and transition benefits and the accelerated amortization (net of forfeitures) of certain equity-based awards. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, such amortization includes $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for certain Professional Partners Awards and $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for certain transaction-related RSUs, which are excluded from Equity-based compensation not dilutive to investors in PWP or PWP OpCo and Public company transaction related incentives. Currently, we are estimating $30 million of total business realignment costs, including cash benefits and non-cash accelerated amortization of equity-based awards, with approximately $18 million expected to be incurred during the remainder of 2023.
(4)		On November 30, 2016, we completed a business combination with Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co., LLC (TPH), an independent advisory firm focused on the energy industry. The adjustment reflects the amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisition, and such assets will be fully amortized by November 30, 2026.
(5)		Transaction costs that were expensed associated with the Business Combination, including (i) equity-based vesting for transaction-related RSUs issued to non-employees and (ii) costs incurred in 2023 related to a potential future partnership restructuring that was contemplated during the implementation of the up-C structure at the time of the Business Combination.
(6)		Transaction costs that were expensed associated with the exchange offer and solicitation relating to the Company’s outstanding warrants, which the Company commenced on July 22, 2022 (the “Warrant Exchange”).
(7)		Certain expenses incurred related to the Settlement.
(8)		See reconciliation below for the components of the consolidated statements of operations included in non-compensation expense—GAAP as well as Adjusted non-compensation expense.
(9)		For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, this adjustment includes a loss of $6.3 million and a gain of $15.8 million, respectively, on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, which is non-cash and we believe not indicative of our core performance. A minimal adjustment for the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs is also included for all periods as well as the $1.25 million charge related to the Settlement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and a non-operating loss on investment of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
(10)		The non-GAAP tax expense represents the Company’s calculated tax expense on adjusted non-GAAP income. It excludes the impact on income taxes of certain transaction-related items and other items not reflected in our adjusted non-GAAP results. It does not represent the cash that the Company expects to pay for taxes in the current periods.
(11)		The if-converted tax expense represents the Company's calculated tax expense on adjusted non-GAAP income assuming the exchange of all partnership units for PWP Class A common stock, resulting in all of the Company’s income being subject to corporate-level tax.
(12)		Assumed vesting of RSUs and performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”) as calculated using the treasury stock method and to the extent dilutive to Adjusted net income (loss) per Class A share—diluted, if-converted.
(13)		Reconciliations of key metrics from U.S. GAAP to Adjusted results are a derivative of the reconciliation of their components.
