- ORGANIZATION
Blue Owl Capital Inc. (the “Registrant”), a Delaware corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Blue Owl”), is a global alternative asset manager. Anchored by a strong Permanent Capital base, the Company deploys private capital across Credit, Real Assets and GP Strategic Capital platforms on behalf of institutional and private wealth clients.
The Company operates throughone operating and reportable segment that provides asset management services to clients. The Company’s, and therefore the single segment’s, primary sources of revenues are management fees, which are generally based on the amount of the Company’s fee-paying assets under management. The Company generates substantially all of its revenues in the United States. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) are its Co-CEOs. The Company concluded that it has a single operating segment, as this reflects how the CODMs allocate resources and assess performance under the Company’s “one-firm approach,” which includes operating collaboratively across product lines, with a single expense pool.
The Company conducts its operations through Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP (“Blue Owl Holdings,” and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Blue Owl Operating Group”). The Registrant holds its controlling financial interests in the Blue Owl Operating Group indirectly through Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Capital GP LLC and certain other directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant (collectively, “Blue Owl GP”).
On April 1, 2025, the Company completed the previously announced internal reorganization (“Internal Reorganization”), pursuant to which, among other things, Blue Owl Capital Carry LP (“Blue Owl Carry”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Owl Holdings. Prior to the Internal Reorganization, Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry were referred to, collectively, as the “Blue Owl Operating Partnerships.” Following the Internal Reorganization, each unitholder of the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships who previously held an equal number of units in each of Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry instead holds a single class of units in Blue Owl Holdings.
Business Combination and Acquisitions

Registrant’s Capital Structure
The following table presents the number of shares of the Registrant and RSUs that were outstanding as of September 30, 2025:
| Class A Shares | 664,801,995 |
|---|---|
| Class C Shares | 590,130,089 |
| Class D Shares | 304,699,203 |
| RSUs | 28,150,047 |
Class A Shares—Shares of Class A common stock that are publicly traded. Class A stockholders are entitled to dividends declared on the Class A Shares by the Registrant’s board of directors (the “Board”). As of September 30, 2025, the Class A Shares and Class C Shares (collectively, the “Low-Vote Shares”) represented a combined 20% of the total voting power of all shares.
Class B Shares—Shares of Class B common stock that are not publicly traded. Class B stockholders are entitled to dividends in the same amount per share as declared on Class A Shares. As of September 30, 2025, the Class B Shares and Class D Shares (collectively, the “High-Vote Shares”) represented a combined 80% of the total voting power of all shares.
Class C Shares—Shares of Class C common stock that are not publicly traded. Class C stockholders do not participate in the earnings of the Registrant, as the holders of such shares participate in the economics of the Blue Owl Operating Group through their direct and indirect holdings of Common Units and Incentive Units (as defined below and subject to limitations on unvested units). For every Common Unit held directly or indirectly by non-Principals, one Class C Share is issued to grant a corresponding voting interest in the Registrant. The Class C Shares are Low-Vote Shares as described above.
Class D Shares—Shares of Class D common stock that are not publicly traded. Class D stockholders do not participate in the earnings of the Registrant, as the holders of such shares participate in the economics of the Blue Owl Operating Group through their direct or indirect holdings of Common Units and Incentive Units (subject to limitations on unvested units). For every Common Unit held directly and indirectly by Principals, one Class D Share is issued to grant a corresponding voting interest in the Registrant. The Class D Shares are High-Vote Shares as described above.
RSUs—The Company grants Class A restricted share units (“RSUs”) to its employees and independent Board members. An RSU entitles the holder to receive a Class A Share, or cash equal to the fair value of a Class A Share at the election of the Board, upon completion of a requisite service period. RSUs granted to date do not accrue dividend equivalents. RSU grants are accounted for as equity-based compensation. See Note 10 for additional information.
Blue Owl Operating Group’s Capital Structure
The following table presents the interests outstanding of the Blue Owl Operating Group that were outstanding as of September 30, 2025, which interests are collectively referred to as “Blue Owl Operating Group Units”:
| Units | September 30, 2025 |
|---|---|
| GP Units | 664,801,995 |
| Common Units | 894,829,292 |
| Incentive Units | 26,354,909 |
GP Units—The Registrant indirectly holds a general partner interest and all of the GP Units in Blue Owl Holdings (as well as Blue Owl Carry prior to the Internal Reorganization). The GP Units represent the Registrant’s economic ownership in the Blue Owl Operating Group. For each Class A Share and Class B Share outstanding, the Registrant indirectly holds an equal number of GP Units. References to GP Units also include Common Units (as defined below) acquired and held directly or indirectly by the Registrant due to the Acquisitions, as well as Common Units exchanged for Class A Shares.
Common Units—Common Units are limited partner interests held by certain members of management, employees and other third parties in Blue Owl Holdings (as well as Blue Owl Carry prior to the Internal Reorganization). Subject to certain restrictions, Common Units are exchangeable on aone-for-one basis for either Class A Shares (if held by a non-Principal) or Class B Shares (if held by a Principal). Common Unit exchanges may be settled in cash at the election of the Company’s Exchange Committee (currently composed of independent members of the Board), and only if funded from proceeds of a new permanent equity offering. Upon an exchange of Common Units for an equal number of Class A Shares or Class B Shares, a corresponding number of Class C Shares or Class D Shares, respectively, will be cancelled. Common Unitholders are entitled to distributions in the same amount per unit as declared on GP Units.
Incentive Units—Incentive Units are Class P limited partner interests in Blue Owl Holdings (as well as Blue Owl Carry prior to the Internal Reorganization) granted to certain members of management, employees and consultants (collectively, “Incentive Unit Grantees”) and are generally subject to vesting conditions. Incentive Units are held indirectly through Blue Owl Management Vehicle LP on behalf of Incentive Unit Grantees. A vested Incentive Unit may convert into a Common Unit upon becoming economically equivalent on a tax basis to a Common Unit. Once vested, holders of Incentive Units (“Incentive Unitholders”) are entitled to distributions in the same amount per unit as declared on GP Units and Common Units. Substantially all unvested Incentive Unitholders generally are not entitled to distributions; however, consistent with other Blue Owl Operating Group Units, unvested Incentive Units receive taxable income allocations that may subject holders to tax liabilities. As a result, Incentive Unitholders (consistent with other Blue Owl Operating Group Units) may receive tax distributions on unvested units to cover a portion or all of such tax liabilities.
Share Repurchases and RSUs Withheld for Tax Withholding
On February 5, 2025, the Company’s Board authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of Class A Shares (the “2025 Program”). Under the 2025 Program, repurchases could be made from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The 2025 Program may be changed, suspended or discontinued at any time and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the purchase of all shares available under the 2025 Program and (ii) February 28, 2027.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s RSU awards, upon the vesting of RSUs to employees, the Company net settles awards to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations. In such instances, the Company cancels a number of RSUs equivalent in value to the amount of tax withholding payments that the Company is making on behalf of employees out of available cash.
The following table presents Class A Shares repurchased under the 2025 Program and RSUs withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations during each of the indicated periods:
| Three Months EndedSeptember 30, | Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | |||

| Fair value of RSUs withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations | $22,449 | $16,828 | $76,231 | $34,888 |
| Number of RSUs withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations | 1,141,914 | 950,196 | 3,391,683 | 1,951,014 |
Acquisitions-Related Earnouts
In connection with certain Acquisitions, the Company agreed to deliver additional consideration to the sellers upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. See Note 3 for information regarding earnout arrangements related to the IPI Acquisition. See Note 1 and Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report (as defined below) for additional information regarding earnout arrangements for certain other acquisitions.
Common Unit Exchanges
From time to time, the Company exchanges Common Units and Class C Shares for an equal number of Class A Shares. As a result of these exchanges, the Company reallocates equity from noncontrolling interests to the Company’s additional paid-in capital and records additional deferred tax assets and tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) liability in connection with the exchanges. See the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for these amounts.
- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited, interim, consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The notes are an integral part of the Company’s Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s Financial Statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. These interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”).
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income represents the change in equity during a period from recognized transactions other than from transactions with owners. In the accompanying Financial Statements, comprehensive income is comprised of (i) consolidated net income, as presented in the consolidated statements of operations and (ii) all components of other comprehensive income. The Company's other comprehensive income is comprised of gains and losses on derivative instruments that have been designated as cash flow hedges.
The Company has designated foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with certain transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. The changes in the fair value of the designated forward contracts are initially reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. The reclassified amounts from OCI are presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged items. Cash flows associated with these cash flow hedges, which do not include an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception, and only have a financing element inherently included in an at-the-market derivative instrument with no prepayments, are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. These cash flow hedges are not material to the Financial Statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements. The most critical of these estimates are related to (i) the fair value of the investments held by the products the Company manages, as for many products, this impacts the amount of revenues the Company recognizes each period; (ii) the fair value of the preferred equity investment and equity-based compensation grants; (iii) the fair values of liabilities with respect to the TRA (the portion considered contingent consideration) and earnout liabilities; (iv) the estimate of future taxable income, which impacts the realizability and carrying amount of the Company’s deferred income tax assets; (v) the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in business combinations, as well as the determination of whether amounts paid or payable represent consideration or compensation; and (vi) the qualitative and quantitative assessments of whether impairments of intangible assets and goodwill exist. Inherent in such estimates and judgments relating to future cash flows, which include the Company’s interpretation of current economic indicators and market valuations, are assumptions about the Company’s strategic plans with regard to its operations. While management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Financial Statements are reasonable and prudent, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the FASB. ASUs not listed below were not applicable, not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements when adopted or did not have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements upon adoption.
| Standard | Description | Effective Date and Method of Adoption | Impact on Financial Statements |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASU 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures | The ASU enhances income tax disclosures for public business entities by requiring entities to disclose:•A tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and amounts, broken out into specific categories with certain reconciling items at or above 5% of the statutory (i.e. expected) tax further broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction.•Income taxes paid (net of refunds received), broken out between federal (national), state/local and foreign, and amounts paid to individual jurisdictions when 5% or more of the total income taxes are paid.The ASU also includes other amendments, such as replacing the term ‘public entity’ with ‘public business entity’ and the removal of certain disclosures. | For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted.The Company plans to adopt the ASU beginning with the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. | The guidance will result in enhanced disclosures that will improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. |
| ASU 2024-03 & ASU 2025-01 —Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses | The ASU requires additional disclosures of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The guidance requires footnote disclosures in a tabular format, disaggregating certain costs and expenses that include any of the following expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depletion. | All public business entities are required to adopt the ASU prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company plans to adopt the ASU beginning with the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. | The guidance is expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements presentation and disclosure because the relevant expenses are disaggregated in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
- ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
IPI Acquisition
The following table presents the consideration and net identifiable assets acquired and goodwill related to the IPI Acquisition:
| (dollars in thousands) | |
|---|---|

| Net Identifiable Assets Acquired and Goodwill | |
| Assets acquired: | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $1,107 |
| Due from related parties | 40,550 |
| Intangible assets: | |
| Investment management agreements | 240,000 |
| Investor relationships | 105,000 |
| Total intangible assets | 345,000 |
| Other assets, net | 1,448 |
| Total assets acquired | 388,105 |
| Liabilities assumed: | |
| Accrued compensation | 227 |
| Operating lease liabilities | 982 |
| Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities | 5,040 |
| Total liabilities assumed | 6,249 |
| Net Identifiable Assets Acquired | $381,856 |
| Goodwill(3) | $923,835 |
(1)Represents Common Units issued to sellers.
(2)Includes $39.9 million of cash consideration paid in the second quarter of 2025.
(3)Goodwill represents the amount of total consideration in excess of net identifiable assets acquired. Approximately $199.4 million of the goodwill and intangible assets recognized are expected to be deductible by the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships for tax purposes.
The acquired investment management agreements and investor relationships had weighted-average amortization periods of 5.5 years and 11.3 years, respectively, from the date of acquisition.
IPI’s results are included in the Company’s consolidated results starting from the date the acquisition closed, January 3, 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s consolidated results included $30.4 million and $130.9 million of GAAP revenues related to the acquired business, respectively. Given the Company operates throughone operating and reportable segment, the impact of the IPI Acquisition to GAAP consolidated net income is not tracked on a standalone basis. The Company incurred $16.8 million and $8.6 million of acquisition-related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, which costs were included within general, administrative and other expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
IPI Earnouts
The earnout liability accrued in connection with the IPI Acquisition was contingent upon additional commitments to Blue Owl Digital Infrastructure Fund III (“ODI III”) and was based on the size of these commitments. A portion of this liability pertained to the pro-rated catch-up management fees earned with each subsequent close. These catch-up fees were collected by the Company and then paid to the sellers during the second quarter of 2025, after the final close of ODI III. The remaining earnout liability represented the fair value of additional Common Units the Company issued to the sellers (the “IPI Subsequent Payment”), the value of which was also contingent on the additional commitments to ODI III. The earnout liability related to the IPI Acquisition, including the IPI Subsequent Payment, was settled during the second quarter of 2025.
Goodwill
The following table summarizes the Company’s goodwill:
| (dollars in thousands) | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 |

| Total Intangible Assets, Net | $2,976,155 | $2,902,752 | |
The following table presents expected future amortization of finite-lived intangible assets as of September 30, 2025:
| (dollars in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Period | Amortization |
| October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 | $87,355 |
| 2026 | 341,466 |
| 2027 | 322,176 |
| 2028 | 316,578 |
| 2029 | 310,598 |
| Thereafter | 1,597,982 |
| Total | $2,976,155 |
Pro Forma Financial Information
Unaudited pro forma revenues were $728.0 million and $646.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Unaudited pro forma net income attributable to Class A stockholders was $6.3 million and $27.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and $31.2 million and $86.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This pro forma financial information was computed by combining the historical financial information of the Company and the IPI Acquisition as though the acquisition was consummated on January 1, 2024, and as though the Atalaya, KAM and Prima Acquisitions were consummated on January 1, 2023.
These pro forma amounts assume a consistent ownership structure, annual effective tax rates and amortization of the fair value of acquired assets as of each respective acquisition date. The pro forma information does not reflect the potential benefits of cost and funding synergies, opportunities to earn additional revenues, or other factors, and therefore does not represent what the actual revenues and net income would have been had the businesses actually been combined as of the dates above.
- INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The following table presents the components of the Company’s investments:
| (dollars in thousands) | September 30,2025 | December 31,2024 |
|---|---|---|

| Equity investments in the Company’s products, at fair value | 54,981 | 96,956 |
| Investments in the Company’s CLOs, at fair value | 6,289 | 5,169 |
| Total | $513,911 | $486,945 |
Fair Value Measurements Categorized within the Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). The Company and the products it manages hold a variety of assets and liabilities, certain of which are not publicly traded or that are otherwise illiquid. Significant judgment and estimation go into the assumptions that drive the fair value of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of these assets and liabilities may be estimated using a combination of observed transaction prices, prices from third parties (including independent pricing services and relevant broker quotes), models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are neither directly nor indirectly market observable. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of assets and liabilities that are determined to be illiquid or do not have readily ascertainable fair values, the estimates of fair value may differ from the values ultimately realized, and those differences can be material.
GAAP prioritizes the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of assets and liabilities and the specific characteristics of the financial assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed into one of the following categories based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values:
Level I – Quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level II – Valuations obtained from independent third-party pricing services, the use of models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are either directly or indirectly market observable as of the measurement date. These financial assets and liabilities exhibit higher levels of liquid market observability as compared to Level III financial assets and liabilities.
Level III – Pricing inputs that are unobservable in the market and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial asset or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value of financial assets and liabilities in this category may require significant management judgment or estimation. The fair value of these financial assets and liabilities may be estimated using a combination of observed transaction prices, independent pricing services, models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are neither directly nor indirectly market observable (e.g., cash flows, implied yields).
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial asset or liability when the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
The tables below summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Valuation Methodologies for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Levels II and III
Preferred Equity Investment
The fair value of the preferred equity investment is determined using a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the present value of future expected cash flows. The key inputs in this model include the projected cash flows attributable to the preferred interest and the discount rate. The expected cash flows are based on management’s forecasts and projections, taking into consideration market conditions and redemption of the preferred interest. The discount rate applied reflects the time value of money and the risks associated with the preferred interest, which includes assumptions about the risk-free rate, credit risk, and market volatility. This investment is generally classified as Level III.
Equity Investments in the Company’s Products
The fair value of equity investments in the Company’s products is determined based on the published net asset value of these investments, as such values are the price at which contributions and redemptions are effectuated on a monthly basis. These investments are generally classified as Level II. The remaining balance is generally redeemable on a monthly basis at the Company’s option.
CLOs
The fair value of CLOs is determined based on inputs from independent pricing services. These investments are classified as Level III. The Company obtains prices from independent pricing services that utilize discounted cash flows, which take into account unobservable significant inputs, such as yield, prepayments and credit quality.
TRA Liability
The TRA liability related to the Dyal Acquisition is considered contingent consideration and is measured at fair value based on discounted future cash flows. The remaining TRA liability on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition is not measured at fair value.
As of September 30, 2025, the earnout liability was comprised of contingent consideration payable for the Prima Earnouts, KAM Earnouts and Atalaya Earnouts (each defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report). As of December 31, 2024, the earnout liability was comprised of contingent consideration payable for the Wellfleet Earnouts (defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report), Prima Earnouts, KAM Earnouts and Atalaya Earnouts.
The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to value certain earnouts where revenue milestones need to be achieved before a payment is due. These models consider current progress towards revenue targets, as well as forecasts, to simulate a range of outcomes based on market inputs such as volatility. For other earnouts, the Company uses a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the present value of future expected cash flows. The key inputs in this model include the projected cash flows attributable to the respective earnout and the discount rate.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was approximately $3.2 billion compared to a carrying value of $3.2 billion, of which $2.3 billion of the fair value would have been categorized as Level II within the fair value hierarchy and the remainder as Level III. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was approximately $2.5 billion, compared to a carrying value of $2.6 billion, of which $2.3 billion of the fair value would have been categorized as Level II within the fair value hierarchy and the remainder as Level III.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the portion of the TRA liability that is not carried at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets was approximately $633.1 million and $535.7 million, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, and such fair value measurements would have been categorized as Level III within the fair value hierarchy.
Management estimates that the carrying value of the Company’s other financial instruments, which are not carried at fair value, approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and such fair value measurements are categorized as Level III within the fair value hierarchy.

Revolving Credit Facility
The Company, through its indirect subsidiary, Blue Owl Finance LLC, maintains a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which was amended in August 2025, among other things, to increase the total borrowing capacity to $2.425 billion (subject to a potential increase to $3.0 billion upon the satisfaction of certain conditions) and to extend the maturity date to August 8, 2030. Amounts available for the Revolving Credit Facility presented in the tables above are reduced by outstanding letters of credit related to certain leases. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Company’s discretion at a rate per annum of (a) secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 0.875% to 1.375%, or (b) the greater of the (i) prime rate, (ii) New York Fed Bank Rate plus 0.50% or (iii) SOFR plus 1%, plus a margin of 0.00% to 0.375%. The Company was subject to an undrawn commitment fee rate of 0.07% to 0.2% of the daily amount of available revolving commitment as of September 30, 2025, and an undrawn commitment fee rate of 0.08% to 0.2% of the daily amount of available revolving commitment as of December 31, 2024. The borrowing rates for balances outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were 5.43% and 5.72%, respectively. Of the amount borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025, $430.0 million was repaid subsequent to quarter end.
For a description of terms of the other debt obligations presented in the tables above, see Note 7 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report.
- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Tax Receivable Agreement
Pursuant to the TRA, the Company will pay 85% of certain tax benefits, if any, that it realizes (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of any increases in tax basis of the assets of the Blue Owl Operating Group related to the Business Combination and any subsequent exchanges of Blue Owl Operating Group Units for shares of the Registrant or cash.
Payments under the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless (i) the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA and pays recipients an amount representing the present value of the remaining payments, (ii) there is a change of control or (iii) the Company breaches any of the material obligations of the TRA, in which case all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if the Company had exercised its right to terminate the TRA. In each case, if payments are accelerated, such payments will be based on certain assumptions, including that the Company will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions.
The estimate of the timing and the amount of future payments under the TRA involves several assumptions that do not account for the significant uncertainties associated with these potential payments, including an assumption that the Company will have sufficient taxable income in the relevant tax years to utilize the tax benefits that would give rise to an obligation to make payments.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company made TRA payments of $53.5 million and $28.2 million, respectively, inclusive of interest, and including $4.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively, paid to related parties. The table below presents management’s estimate as of September 30, 2025, of the maximum amounts that would be payable under the TRA assuming that the Company will have sufficient taxable income each year to fully realize the expected tax savings. In light of the numerous factors affecting the Company’s obligation to make such payments, the timing and amounts of any such actual payments may differ materially from those presented in the table.

Unfunded Product Commitments
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had unfunded investment commitments to its products of $64.0 million, which is exclusive of commitments that employees and other related parties have directly to the Company’s products, and which the Company expects to fund over the next several years.
Indemnification and Guarantee Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain indemnities or guarantees for related parties of the Company, including the Company’s products, as well as persons acting on behalf of the Company or such related parties and third parties. The terms of the indemnities and guarantees vary from contract to contract and the Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be determined or the risk of material loss is remote, and therefore no amounts have been recorded in the consolidated statements of financial condition. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such legal actions, in the opinion of management, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceeding or claim that would individually or in the aggregate materially affect its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Services Agreement
Under the terms of the Services Agreement, ICONIQ will receive Incentive Units as compensation for the services performed. The Incentive Units will be issued intwo tranches. The first tranche, consisting of 14,175,000 Incentive Units, is expected to be issued in 2026, contingent upon achieving certain future targets outlined in the Services Agreement. The grant date fair value of these Incentive Units was $319.5 million, or $22.54 per unit, determined based on the Company’s Class A Share price, adjusted for the lack of dividend participation during the service period prior to issuance. The second tranche of Incentive Units is expected to be issued in 2028, contingent upon achieving certain future targets outlined in the Services Agreement. The estimated value of these additional Incentive Units, which assumes total commitments of $10.0 billion for the next vintage drawdown digital infrastructure product, was approximately $457.7 million as of September 30, 2025.
Incentive Units issued under this agreement will be fully vested upon issuance. The Company is recognizing the total estimated expense related to the Services Agreement over the expected substantive service period, in a manner consistent with the recognition of such expenses if the payments were made in cash. Such expenses are included within the acquisition related line item in the table above and within general, administrative and other expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025, unamortized expense related to the Services Agreement was $598.4 million, with a remaining amortization period of 2.8 years.
- INCOME TAXES
The computation of the effective tax rate and provision at each interim period requires the use of certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income that is subject to tax, permanent differences between the Company’s GAAP earnings and taxable income, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets existing as of the balance sheet date. The estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change throughout the year as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as tax laws and regulations change. Accordingly, the effective tax rate for future interim periods may vary materially.
The Registrant is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal and state and local corporate-level income taxes on its share of taxable income from the Blue Owl Operating Group. Further, the Registrant’s income tax provision and related income tax assets and liabilities are based on, among other things, an estimate of the impact of exchanges of Common Units for Class A Shares, inclusive of an analysis of tax basis and state tax implications of the Blue Owl Operating Group and its underlying assets and liabilities. The Company’s estimate is based on the most recent information available. The tax basis and state impact of the Blue Owl Operating Group and its underlying assets and liabilities are based on estimates of the Company’s tax returns, which are subject to finalization. Blue Owl Holdings is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and a taxable entity for certain state and local taxes, such as the New York City unincorporated business tax.
The Company had an effective tax rate of 14.4% and 14.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 11.4% and 11.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rates differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the portion of income allocated to noncontrolling interests, nondeductible compensation and state and local taxes.
The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and may recognize or adjust any valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has not recorded any valuation allowances.
The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the tax years that remain open under the statute of limitations may be subject to examinations by the appropriate tax authorities. The Company is generally no longer subject to state or local examinations by tax authorities for tax years prior to 2020.
In connection with and subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company recorded additional paid-in capital adjustments related to deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as related impacts to the TRA liability, on capital transactions. These adjustments primarily resulted from differences between the Company’s GAAP and tax basis in its investment in Blue Owl Holdings, as well as portions related to the TRA liability that may eventually lead to additional tax basis in the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships upon future TRA payments. The deferred tax assets will be recovered as the basis is amortized. See the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for these amounts.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res. 14” (the “Act”), also known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which includes significant amendments to the Internal Revenue Code. The Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
- EARNINGS PER SHARE
The table below presents the treatment for basic and diluted earnings per share for the Registrant’s outstanding instruments, as well as the treatment for diluted earnings per share for the Blue Owl Operating Group’s outstanding instruments. Instruments that could potentially dilute the earnings are included in the calculation only if they would have a dilutive effect.
| Basic | Diluted | |
| Class A Shares(1) | Included | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Class B Shares | None outstanding | None outstanding |
| Class C Shares and Class D Shares | Non-economic voting shares of the Registrant | Non-economic voting shares of the Registrant |
| Vested RSUs(1) | Included | Included |
| Unvested RSUs | Excluded | Treasury stock method |

| Potentially Dilutive Instruments of the Blue Owl Operating Group: | ||
| Vested Common Units and Incentive Units(4) | n/a | If-converted method |
| Unvested Incentive Units(4) | n/a | The Company first applies the treasury stock method to determine the number of units that would have been issued, then applies the if-converted method to the resulting number of units |
| Prima Earnouts - portion payable in Common Units(3) | n/a | Contingently issuable shares - If-converted method |
| Compensation-classified Atalaya Earnouts(5) | n/a | Contingently issuable shares - The Company first applies the treasury stock method to determine the number of units that would have been issued, then applies the if-converted method to the resulting number of units |
| Contingent consideration-classified Atalaya Earnouts(5) | n/a | Contingently issuable shares - If-converted method |
| Services Agreement-related Incentive Units(6) | n/a | Contingently issuable shares - The Company first applies the treasury stock method to determine the number of units that would have been issued, then applies the if-converted method to the resulting number of units |
| IPI Subsequent Payment(7) | n/a | Contingently issuable shares - If-converted method |
(1)Included in the weighted-average Class A Shares outstanding are RSUs that have vested but have not been settled in Class A Shares, as such shares are issuable for no consideration. These RSUs do not participate in dividends until settled in Class A Shares. These vested RSUs totaled 11,482,022 and 11,628,852 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 11,700,172 and 11,959,362 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
(2)The treasury stock method for warrants, which are carried at fair value, includes adjusting the numerator for changes in fair value impacting net income attributable to Blue Owl Capital Inc. for the period.
(3)As of September 30, 2025, the Prima Triggering Event (defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report) with respect to the Prima Earnouts had not occurred, and therefore the portion of such earnouts payable in Class A Shares have not been included in the calculation of basic earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Had September 30, 2025 also been the end of the contingency period for the Prima Earnouts, the Prima Triggering Event would have not occurred, and therefore the Prima Earnouts have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
(4)The if-converted method for these instruments includes adding back to the numerator any related income or loss allocations to noncontrolling interests, as well as any incremental tax expense or benefit had the instruments converted into Class A Shares as of the beginning of the period.
(5)As of September 30, 2025, the Atalaya Triggering Event (defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report) with respect to the Atalaya Earnouts had not occurred. Had September 30, 2025 been the end of the contingency period for the Atalaya Earnouts, the Atalaya Triggering Event would have not occurred, and therefore the Atalaya Earnouts have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
(6)As of September 30, 2025, the contingencies related to the Services Agreement payments have not yet been resolved. Had September 30, 2025 also been the end of the contingency period, the contingencies related to the Services Agreement would not have yet been resolved, and therefore the Incentive Units issuable under the Services Agreement have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
(7)As of September 30, 2025, the contingencies related to the IPI Subsequent Payment have been resolved, as the related Common Units were issued during the three months ended June 30, 2025, and therefore the Common Units related to the IPI Subsequent Payment have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (i.e., the second quarter of 2025).
