As a global investment manager, Oaktree is affected by a wide range of factors, including the condition of the global economy and financial markets; the relative attractiveness of Oaktree’s investment strategies and investors’ demand for them; and regulatory or other governmental policies or actions. Global economic conditions can significantly impact the values of Oaktree’s and its funds’ investments and the ability to make new investments or sell existing investments for these funds. Historically, however, Oaktree’s diversified nature, of both its investment strategies and revenue mix, has generally allowed it to benefit from both strong and weak economic environments. Weak economies and the declining financial markets that typically accompany them tend to dampen revenues from asset-based management fees, investment realizations or price appreciation, but their prospect can present opportunities to raise relatively larger amounts of capital for certain strategies, especially opportunistic credit. Additionally, weak financial markets may also present more opportunities for funds to make investments at reduced prices. Conversely, strong financial markets generally increase the value of fund investments, which positions Oaktree for growth in management fees that are based on asset value, and typically create favorable exit opportunities that enhance the prospect for incentive income and fund-related realized investment income proceeds for Oaktree and us. Those same markets may delay or diminish opportunities to deploy capital and thus management fees paid to Oaktree from certain funds.

The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, including global sanctions imposed on Russia, and more recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, create continued uncertainty and volatility in the global financial markets and economy and, as a result, may adversely impact Oaktree’s business and its funds’ and their respective portfolio companies’ business. As of the date of this filing, we are not aware of any material risk to the stability of our consolidated financial statements caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict or the Israel-Hamas conflict or the materiality of any effect such uncertainties may have on our business and operations.

Previous wording

We have the potential to earn incentive income from many of the closed-end funds and certain evergreen funds managed by Oaktree in our capacity as the general partner of those funds. These closed-end funds generally provide that we receive incentive income only after we have returned to our investors all of their contributed capital plus an annual preferred return, typically 8%. Once this occurs, we generally receive as incentive income 80% of all distributions otherwise attributable to our investors, and those investors receive the remaining 20% until we have received, as incentive income, 20% of all such distributions in excess of the contributed capital from the inception of the fund. Thereafter, all such future distributions attributable to our investors are distributed 80% to those investors and 20% to us as incentive income. As a result of the 2022 Restructuring, we are generally only entitled to earn one-third of the incentive income attributable to Oaktree Capital I in respect of our closed-end funds established in 2022 or later and in respect of incentive income from our evergreen funds earned subsequent to January 1, 2023. We will generally continue to earn 100% of the incentive income attributable to Oaktree Capital I in respect of our closed-end funds established prior to 2022. We also earn revenue from investment income, which represents our pro-rata share of income or loss from our investments, generally in our capacity as general partner in Oaktree funds and as an investor in our CLOs and third-party managed funds and companies. Subsequent to the 2022 Restructuring, the Company no longer consolidates the CLOs as their direct ownership interests are held by OCM Cayman.

We were generally earning 100% of the incentive income attributable to Oaktree Capital I in respect of Oaktree’s closed-end funds established prior to 2022. Subsequent to the 2024 Restructuring, the Company no longer earns incentive income as a result of the deconsolidation of Oaktree Capital I. Rather the economics resulting from Oaktree Capital I’s right to earn incentive income are reflected in the Company’s results through investment income earned from the Company’s approximately 72% equity method investment in Oaktree Capital I.

Previous wording

Investment income represents our pro-rata share of income or loss from our investments, generally in our capacity as general partner in certain Oaktree funds and as an investor in our CLOs and third-party managed funds and companies. Investment income, as reflected in our consolidated statements of operations, excludes investment income earned by us from our consolidated funds. Subsequent to the 2022 Restructuring, we no longer hold investments in the CLOs as their direct ownership interests are held by OCM Cayman.

Current wording

We earn revenue from investment income, which represents our pro-rata share of income or loss from our investments. Historically, investment income was generally from Oaktree Capital I’s capacity as general partner in Oaktree funds and as an investor in Oaktree’s CLOs and third-party managed funds and companies. Subsequent to the 2024 Restructuring, we no longer earn investment income from the direct fund-related holdings of Oaktree Capital I. Rather the economics resulting from Oaktree Capital I’s investments are reflected in the Company’s investment income earned from the Company’s approximately 72% equity method investment in Oaktree Capital I.

Previous wording

Our consolidated revenues reflect the elimination of all management fees, if any, incentive income and investment income earned related to consolidated Oaktree funds. Investment income is presented within the other income (loss) section of our consolidated statements of operations.

Incentive income compensation expense primarily reflects compensation directly related to incentive income, which generally consists of percentage interests (sometimes referred to as “points” or an allocation of shares received upon the completion of a successful SPAC merger) that are granted to Oaktree investment professionals associated with the particular fund or SPAC that generated the incentive income, and secondarily, compensation directly related to investment income. There is no fixed percentage for the incentive income-related portion of this compensation, either by fund, SPAC or strategy. The percentage that consolidated incentive income compensation expense represents of the particular period’s consolidated incentive income may not be meaningful because incentive income from consolidated funds or SPACs is eliminated in consolidation, whereas no incentive income compensation expense is eliminated in consolidation.

General and administrative expense has historically included costs related to occupancy, outside auditors, tax professionals, legal advisers, research, consultants, travel and entertainment, communications and information services, business process outsourcing, foreign-exchange activity, insurance, placement costs, changes in the contingent consideration liability, and other general items related directly to the Company’s operations. These expenses are net of amounts borne by fund investors and are not offset by credits attributable to fund investors’ non-controlling interests in consolidated funds. General and administrative expense reflects the gross-up of reimbursable costs incurred on behalf of Oaktree funds in which the Company has determined it is the principal. Subsequent to the 2019 Restructuring, general and administrative expenses primarily include direct and reimbursable expenses incurred by Oaktree Capital I and OCM Cayman and the Company's share of certain expenses through the Services agreement with OCM. Subsequent to the 2022 Restructuring, general and administrative expenses no longer includes direct and reimbursable expenses incurred by OCM Cayman due to the deconsolidation, and generally includes costs related tooutside auditors, tax professionals, derivative and hedging activity, and other general items related directly to the Company’s operations.

Current wording

Subsequent to the 2022 Restructuring, general and administrative expenses generally included costs related to outside auditors, tax professionals, derivative and hedging activity, and other general items related directly to the Company’s operations.

Previous wording

Interest expense primarily reflects the interest expense of the consolidated funds, as well as the interest expense of Oaktree and its operating subsidiaries. After the 2019 Restructuring, our financial statements reflected debt obligations, interest expense or related liabilities associated with our operating subsidiaries only if one of the two remaining Oaktree Operating Group entities then owned by us directly borrowed under Oaktree’s credit agreements, issued private placement notes or entered into another debt arrangement. Subsequent to the 2022 Restructuring, our financial statements reflect debt obligations, interest expense or related liabilities associated with our operating subsidiary when Oaktree Capital I directly borrows under Oaktree’s credit agreements, issues private placement notes or enters into another debt arrangement.

Subsequent to the 2024 Restructuring, as a result of the deconsolidation of Oaktree Capital I, the Company no longer records interest expense for debt obligations of Oaktree Capital I or funds that were consolidated due to interests held by Oaktree Capital I.

Net realized gain (loss) on consolidated funds’ investments consists of realized gains and losses arising from dispositions of investments held by our consolidated funds.

Current wording

Net realized gain (loss) on consolidated funds’ investments consists of realized gains and losses arising from dispositions of investments held by Oaktree’s consolidated funds.

•Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Funds. This category represents the economic interests of the unaffiliated investors in the consolidated funds, as well as the equity interests held by third-party investors in CLOs that had not yet priced as of the respective period end. Subsequent to the 2022 Restructuring, we no longer consolidate the CLOs as their direct ownership interests are held by OCM Cayman. The net income of these interests is primarily driven by the investment performance of the consolidated funds and CLOs. In comparison to net income, this measure excludes our operating results and other items solely attributable to the Company; and,

•Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries. This category primarily represents the economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group owned by OCGH and OEP (“OCGH and other non-controlling interest”), as well as the economic interest in certain consolidated subsidiaries held by third parties. Subsequent to the 2019 Restructuring, this category includes only the OCGH and other non-controlling interest in Oaktree Capital I and OCM Cayman and subsequent to the 2022 Restructuring, this category includes only the OCGH and other non-controlling interest in Oaktree Capital I. The OCGH and other non-controlling interest is determined at the Oaktree Operating Group level based on the weighted average proportionate share of Oaktree Operating Group units held by OCGH and other unitholders. Inasmuch as the number of outstanding Oaktree Operating Group units corresponds with the total number of outstanding Class A, OCGH and OEP units, changes in the economic interest held by the OCGH and other unitholders are driven by our additional issuances of Class A, OCGH and OEP units, as well as repurchases and forfeitures of, and exchanges between, Class A, OCGH and OEP units. Certain of our expenses, such as income tax and related administrative expenses of Brookfield Oaktree Holdings, LLC and the holding companies through which we hold interests in Oaktree Capital I, are solely attributable to the Class A unitholders. Please see note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report for additional information on the economic interest in the Oaktree Operating Group owned by OCGH.

The net realized gain during thefor the year ended December 31, 2023 reflects our consolidated funds’ performance on investments sold and is primarily related to gains on sales of investments in Opps XI, whereas the net realized loss duringthe year ended December 31, 2022 primarily resulted from realized losses on our Real Assets investments and CLOs. Subsequent to the 2022 Restructuring, we no longer consolidate the CLOs as their direct ownership interests are held by OCM Cayman.

Current wording

Net realized gain on consolidated funds’ investments decreased $13.8 million, to a net gain of $65.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $79.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Previous wording

We manage our financial condition without the consolidation of the Oaktree funds in which we serve as general partner. Since Oaktree’s founding, Oaktree and, by extension, we have managed our financial condition in a way that builds our capital base and maintains sufficient liquidity for known and anticipated uses of cash. Our assets do not include accrued incentives (fund level), an off-balance sheet metric. As a result of the 2022 Restructuring, we no longer directly hold an economic interest in OCM Cayman or a voting interest in its general partner and therefore OCM Cayman was deconsolidated as of the effective date of the 2022 Restructuring. Additionally, we concluded that we were no longer the primary beneficiary for CLOs as their direct ownership interests are held by OCM Cayman. Assets and liabilities related to OCM Cayman and CLOs are not reflected on our consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2023.

As a result of the 2022 Restructuring, the Company no longer controls OCM Cayman and therefore OCM Cayman was deconsolidated as of the effective date of the 2022 Restructuring. Ongoing sources of cash include incentive income, which is volatile and largely unpredictable as to amount and timing, and distributions stemming from our corporate investments in funds and companies. We primarily use cash flow from operations and distributions from our corporate investments to pay compensation and related expenses, service fees under the Services Agreement with OCM, debt service and distributions. This same cash flow, together with proceeds from equity and debt issuances, is also used to fund corporate investments, fixed assets and other capital items. Subject to applicable law and certain consent rights contained in our operating agreement, pursuant to a covenant in our operating agreement Oaktree plans to cause its operating group entities to distribute, on a quarterly basis, at least 85% of its adjusted distributable earnings, as defined in our operating agreement, and we plan to distribute amounts we receive in respect of such distributions, less any tax and tax receivable obligations, to holders of our Class A units. Distributions from each Operating Group entity may not be proportionate to its share of adjusted distributable earnings.
