  1. 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 revenue 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 its wholly owned subsidiaries, Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LLC and Blue Owl Capital GP LLC (collectively, “Blue Owl GP”).

Acquisitions

On January 3, 2025, the Company acquired the rights to investment management agreements, investor relationships, related assets and personnel from digital infrastructure fund manager IPI Partners, LLC (the “IPI Acquisition”), a joint venture between an affiliate of ICONIQ Capital, LLC (“ICONIQ”) and an affiliate of Iron Point Partners. The IPI Acquisition collectively with the acquisitions listed in Note 1 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report (as defined below) are referred to as the “Acquisitions.”

In addition, in connection with the IPI Acquisition, the Company entered into a services agreement with ICONIQ (the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which ICONIQ will provide certain services, including investment analysis and investor relations services to the Company or its subsidiaries. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the Services Agreement.

Registrant’s Capital Structure

The following table presents the number of shares of the Registrant and RSUs (as defined below) that were outstanding as of September 30, 2026:

Class A Shares692,779,154
Class C Shares572,636,840
Class D Shares301,289,203
RSUs35,201,350

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, 2026, 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, 2026, 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. No Class B Shares have been issued to-date since inception.

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 outstanding other than Common Units associated with Class D Shares as described below, 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 received by the Company’s Principals in connection with the consummation of that certain business combination transaction on May 19, 2021 through which the Company became a publicly traded entity (the “Business Combination”), one Class D Share was issued to grant a corresponding voting interest in the Registrant. No additional Class D Shares have been or are expected to be issued following the Business Combination. 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 generally 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, 2026:

UnitsSeptember 30, 2026
GP Units692,779,154
Common Units873,926,043
Incentive Units37,210,105

GP Units—The Registrant indirectly holds a general partner interest and all of the GP Units in Blue Owl Holdings. 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) previously acquired and held directly or indirectly by the Registrant in connection with certain 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. Subject to certain restrictions, Common Units are exchangeable on aone-for-one basis for either Class A Shares (if exchanging Class C Shares or exchanging Class D Shares that will not continue to be held by a holder exchanging such shares) or Class B Shares (if exchanging Class D Shares that will continue to be held by a holder exchanging such shares). 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 canceled. Common Unit holders 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 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 are entitled to distributions in the same amount per unit as declared on GP Units and Common Units. Substantially all unvested Incentive Units generally are not entitled to distributions; however, unvested Incentive Unit holders receive tax distributions on unvested units to cover a portion or all of the tax liabilities related to taxable income allocated to such units.

Share Repurchases and RSUs Withheld for Tax Withholding

In February 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:

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 additional information regarding earnout arrangements for certain acquisitions. See Note 1, Note 3 and Note 10 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report 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.

  1. 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, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”).

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; (iii) the fair value of equity-based compensation grants; (iv) the fair values of liabilities with respect to the TRA (the portion considered contingent consideration) and earnout liabilities; (v) the estimate of future taxable income, which impacts the realizability and carrying amount of the Company’s deferred income tax assets; (vi) 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 (vii) 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.

StandardDescriptionEffective Date and Method of AdoptionImpact on Financial Statements
ASU 2024-03 & ASU 2025-01 —Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement ExpensesThe 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.

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.

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 collateralized loan obligations (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 (as defined in Note 1 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report) 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the earnout liability was comprised of contingent consideration payable for the Prima Earnouts, KAM Earnouts and Atalaya Earnouts (each as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report).

The Company uses Monte Carlo simulation models 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, 2026, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was approximately $3.3 billion compared to a carrying value of $3.6 billion, of which $2.8 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, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was approximately $3.2 billion, compared to a carrying value of $3.3 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the portion of the TRA liability that is not carried at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition was approximately $659.2 million and $652.3 million, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $1.6 billion and $1.6 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and such fair value measurements would have been categorized as Level III within the fair value hierarchy.

2036 Notes

On August 18, 2026, the Registrant, through its indirect subsidiary, Blue Owl Finance LLC (“Finance LLC”), issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.750% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “2036 Notes”). The 2036 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.750% per annum and mature on August 18, 2036. Interest on the 2036 Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 18 and August 18 of each year, commencing February 18, 2027.

The 2036 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Registrant, Blue Owl GP, Blue Owl Holdings and certain of the Registrant’s other subsidiaries. The guarantees are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the guarantors. All or a portion of the 2036 Notes may be redeemed at Finance LLC’s option in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, prior to their stated maturity, subject to a make-whole redemption price; provided, however, that if Finance LLC redeems any amounts on or after May 18, 2036, the redemption price for the 2036 Notes will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the amounts redeemed, in each case, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. If a change of control repurchase event occurs, the 2036 Notes are subject to repurchase by Finance LLC at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The 2036 Notes also provide for customary events of default and acceleration.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company, through Finance LLC, maintains a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Amounts available for the Revolving Credit Facility presented in the tables above are reduced by outstanding letters of credit related to certain leases. The borrowing rates for balances outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were 5.00% and 4.94%, respectively. On October 14, 2026, subsequent to quarter end, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, increase the total borrowing capacity to $3.225 billion (subject to a potential increase to $3.870 billion upon the satisfaction of certain conditions) and to extend the maturity date to October 14, 2031. 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 0.775% to 1.275% 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 0.275%. The Company is subject to an undrawn commitment fee rate of 0.07% to 0.165% of the daily amount of available revolving commitment. As of October 30, 2026, $17.9 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

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.

  1. 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 Blue Owl Holdings related to the Business Combination and any subsequent exchanges of Common 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, 2026 and 2025, the Company made TRA payments of $64.8 million and $53.5 million, respectively, inclusive of interest, and including $4.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively, paid to related parties. The table below presents management’s estimate as of September 30, 2026, 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, 2026, the Company had unfunded investment commitments to its products of $43.1 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, 2026, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements.

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is from time to time involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of its business. The Company’s business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against it. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report. The Company believes the claims asserted in the litigation matters below are without merit and intends to vigorously defend them. However, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome or estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from such matters. Given the inherent unpredictability of these types of legal and regulatory proceedings and the potentially large and/or indeterminate amounts that could be sought, an adverse outcome in certain matters could materially affect its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Securities Litigation Matters

On October 27, 2026, following their appointment as lead plaintiffs, the Nova Scotia Public Service Superannuation Plan and the Nova Scotia Teachers’ Pension Plan filed an amended securities class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of themselves and a purported class of Company shareholders. Plaintiffs assert claims against the Company and certain of its current officers and directors alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder based on allegedly false and misleading statements in the Company’s disclosures.

On October 5, 2026, Randy Lewis, a purported former shareholder of Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. II (“OTF II”), filed a complaint in New York State Supreme Court in New York County, on behalf of himself and a purported class of former OTF II shareholders. Plaintiff asserts claims against Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. (“OTF”), certain of its current officers and directors and the Company, alleging violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) based on allegedly false and misleading statements in OTF’s registration and offering materials issued in connection with the March 24, 2025 merger of OTF II into OTF.

Section 36(b) Matters

On April 27, 2026, a derivative action was brought by Richard Delman on behalf of Blue Owl Capital Corporation (“OBDC”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that Blue Owl Credit Advisors LLC (“BOCA”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, received excessive advisory fees in violation of its statutory fiduciary duty under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”). Plaintiff Delman filed an amended complaint on October 2, 2026, alleging the same Section 36(b) claim. BOCA’s motion to dismiss is due by November 6, 2026. In June and July of 2026, three derivative actions were brought in the United States District Courts for the Southern District of New York and the District of Maryland on behalf of OTF by purported OTF shareholders, each of which alleges that Blue Owl Technology Credit Advisors LLC (“BOTCA”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, received excessive advisory fees in violation of its statutory fiduciary duty under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act. One of the actions also names certain directors and officers of the Company as additional defendants. In August 2026, the actions originally filed in the District of Maryland were transferred to the Southern District of New York. On September 24, 2026, all three actions against BOTCA were consolidated.

Each of these Section 36(b) actions seeks recovery of the allegedly excessive fees, injunctive relief, costs and rescission of the investment advisory agreements with BOCA and BOTCA, respectively. The Section 36(b) actions are in their preliminary stages.

The table below presents the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s management fees, performance revenues and administrative, transaction and other fees receivable and unearned management fees. Substantially all of the amounts receivable are collected during the following quarter. A liability for unearned management fees is generally recognized when management fees are paid to the Company in advance. The entire change in unearned management fees shown below relates to amounts recognized as revenues in the current year period. Management fees are primarily included within due from related parties and a portion is also included within other assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. Performance revenues and administrative, transaction and other fees receivable are included within due from related parties and unearned management fees are included within accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition.

  1. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company grants equity-based compensation awards in the form of RSUs and Incentive Units to its management, employees, consultants and independent members of the Board under the Second Amended and Restated Blue Owl Capital Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, approved by stockholders on June 13, 2024 and further amended on April 1, 2025 (the “2021 Omnibus Plan”). Equity-based compensation awards are generally subject to athree-year tofive-year requisite service period, although certain grants are immediately vested at grant.

As of September 30, 2026, the total number of Class A Shares and Common Units, collectively, that may be issued in respect of any RSUs, Incentive Units or other instruments awarded under the 2021 Omnibus Plan was 202,493,661, of which 64,599,932 remain available for issuance. To the extent that an award expires or is canceled, forfeited, terminated, surrendered, exchanged or withheld to cover tax withholding obligations, the unissued awards will again be available for grant under the 2021 Omnibus Plan.

The 2021 Omnibus Plan features an “evergreen” provision that provides for an automatic increase to the total number of Class A Shares and Common Units that may be issued in respect of any RSUs, Incentive Units or other instruments awarded under the 2021 Omnibus Plan on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in calendar year 2025, and ending in and including 2034, by a number equal to the positive difference, if any, of (a)5% of the aggregate number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares, in each case, outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year (assuming that all Common Units have converted on aone-for-one basis into Class A Shares) minus (b) the aggregate number of Class A Shares and Common Units that were available for the issuance of future awards under the 2021 Omnibus Plan on such last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, unless the administrator should decide to increase by a lesser amount on any such date.

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 during the fourth quarter of 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 or 2029, 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 $456.8 million as of September 30, 2026.

Incentive Units issued pursuant to the Services 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, 2026, unamortized expense related to the Services Agreement was $377.8 million, with a remaining amortization period of 2.3 years.

  1. 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 the 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 their 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 their underlying assets and liabilities are based on estimates subject to finalization of the Company’s tax returns.

Blue Owl Holdings is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes subject to New York City unincorporated business tax.

The Company had an effective tax rate of 14.9% and 15.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 14.4% and 14.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. 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 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, 2026, 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 will be subject to examinations by the appropriate tax authorities. The Company is generally no longer subject to federal, state or local examinations by tax authorities for tax years prior to 2021.

In connection with, and subsequent to, certain Acquisitions, the Company recognized various adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities within additional paid-in capital, as well as related impacts to the TRA liability, related to 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 will eventually lead to additional tax basis in Blue Owl Holdings upon future TRA payments. The deferred tax assets will be recovered as the basis is amortized. Refer to the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for these amounts.

  1. 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.

(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 vested RSUs totaled 10,982,882 and 10,553,436 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and 11,482,022 and 11,628,852 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

(2)As of September 30, 2026, the Prima Triggering Event (as 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 has not been included in the calculation of basic earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Had September 30, 2026 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 quarter ended September 30, 2026.

(3)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.

(4)As of September 30, 2026, the Atalaya Triggering Event (as 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, 2026 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 quarter ended September 30, 2026.

(5)As of September 30, 2026, the contingencies related to the Services Agreement payments have not yet been resolved. Had September 30, 2026 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 quarter ended September 30, 2026.

(6)The contingencies related to the IPI Subsequent Payment (as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report) 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).
