First Quarter 2009 Dividend of $0.05 per Class A Share
NEW YORK, May 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC
(NYSE: OZM)
(the "Company" or "Och-Ziff") today reported its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009, and the declaration of a $0.05 first quarter cash dividend on its Class A Shares.
Summary Highlights
- Distributable Earnings of $27.2 million, or $0.07 per Adjusted Class A Share, for the 2009 first quarter
- Assets under management of $20.3 billion as of April 1, 2009, 8% lower than as of January 1, 2009 and 38% lower than as of April 1, 2008
- Year-to-date net returns through March 31, 2009 of the OZ Master Fund of 4.4%, the OZ Europe Master Fund of -0.2%, the OZ Asia Master Fund of 4.4% and the OZ Global Special Investments Master Fund of 0.7%
"Despite continued challenging market conditions, we delivered strong absolute returns during the first quarter and in April," said Daniel Och, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Och-Ziff. "We see the current environment -- which places a premium on investment performance, fund infrastructure and investment process transparency to fund investors -- as an excellent one in which to continue to generate strong absolute returns for our fund investors. The number of compelling investment opportunities remains greater than it has been in many years, and there is a smaller universe of investors pursuing those ideas. While it may take some time for investors to begin to re-allocate capital to alternative asset managers, we believe that we will benefit from our competitive strengths and gain market share as a result."
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2009, Och-Ziff reported a GAAP net loss of $81.9 million, or $1.07 per basic and diluted Class A Share, compared with a GAAP net loss of $268.1 million, or $3.62 per basic and diluted Class A Share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. The primary driver of the year-over-year reduction in the GAAP net loss was an increase in Net Loss Allocated to Partners' and Others' Interests in Income of Consolidated Subsidiaries resulting from the adoption of FAS 160, partially offset by a decline in Management Fees due to lower assets under management.
The 2009 first quarter GAAP net loss primarily resulted from non-cash expenses of $419.9 million associated with the Company's reorganization in connection with its initial public offering ("IPO") in November 2007. These expenses are related to the amortization of Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units ("Group A Units"), which represent equity interests in the Company's principal operating subsidiaries ("Och-Ziff Operating Group") that were issued to the Company's pre-IPO owners in exchange for their pre-IPO interests in those subsidiaries. The Group A Units vest annually over five years from the closing of the IPO. Accordingly, amortization of these expenses is expected to result in a GAAP net loss each quarter through 2012. Once vested, the Group A Units may be exchanged on a one-to-one basis for Class A Shares. To date, none of the vested Group A Units have been exchanged for Class A Shares.
Also contributing to the GAAP net loss in the 2009 first quarter were non-cash expenses of $25.9 million for the amortization of equity-based compensation, primarily related to Class A Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") awarded to all of the Company's employees in connection with the IPO. These RSUs vest annually over four years from the closing of the IPO. Each RSU represents the right to receive one Class A Share upon vesting.
Management uses Economic Income to evaluate the financial performance of and make operating decisions for the Och-Ziff Funds segment and Other Operations. Management believes that investors should review the same performance measures that it uses to analyze the Company's operating performance. Economic Income is a pre-tax measure that does not include income allocations to the pre-IPO interests of the partners and Ziff Brothers Investments (the "Ziffs"), reorganization expenses related to the Company's IPO, equity-based compensation expenses, taxes, the impact of consolidated Och-Ziff funds, or amounts allocated to the partners and the Ziffs on their direct interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group, among other adjustments. For further information regarding these adjustments, please see Exhibit 5 of the financial tables that accompany this press release. For reconciliations of Economic Income of the Och-Ziff Funds segment, Other Operations and Total Company to the respective GAAP net losses for the periods discussed below, please see Exhibits 3 and 4 of the financial tables that accompany this press release.
The Company's Distributable Earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $27.2 million, or $0.07 per Adjusted Class A Share, compared with $49.7 million, or $0.12 per Adjusted Class A Share in the 2008 first quarter. The year-over-year reduction in Distributable Earnings was primarily attributable to a decline in Management Fees due to lower assets under management, partially offset by lower Non-compensation Expenses. Distributable Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides a meaningful basis for comparison of the after-tax operating performance of the Company. Additionally, management uses Distributable Earnings, among other financial data, to determine the earnings available to distribute as dividends to holders of the Company's Class A Shares and to the Company's partners and the Ziffs with respect to their Group A Units.
Distributable Earnings is equal to Economic Income less Adjusted Income Taxes. Adjusted Income Taxes are estimated assuming all Group A Units and RSUs were converted on a one-to-one basis into Class A Shares ("Adjusted Class A Shares"). Distributable Earnings per Share is equal to Distributable Earnings divided by the weighted-average number of Adjusted Class A Shares. Neither Economic Income nor Distributable Earnings should be considered as an alternative to GAAP earnings before income taxes, net earnings or cash flow, or as indicative of liquidity or the cash available to fund operations.
Prior to 2009, Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per Share were determined using Economic Income for the Och-Ziff Funds segment. As a result of the growing significance of Och-Ziff's Other Operations, which is comprised of additional investments in new businesses, principally the Company's investment in its Asia real estate business, Economic Income, Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per Share now include the results of the Company's Other Operations on a basis comparable to Economic Income of the Och-Ziff Funds segment. Amounts in the prior year have been restated to conform to the new presentation. For a reconciliation of Economic Income to Distributable Earnings, please see Exhibit 6 of the financial tables that accompany this press release.
Och-Ziff's assets under management were $22.6 billion as of March 31, 2009, 16% lower than the $27.0 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2008 and 32% lower than the $33.3 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2008. The $10.7 billion year-over-year decrease was driven by net outflows of $6.1 billion and performance-related depreciation of $4.6 billion. During the 2009 first quarter, the $4.4 billion decrease in assets under management was driven by net outflows of $5.1 billion partially offset by performance-related appreciation of $733 million. The net outflows for the first quarter 2009 include redemption requests received for December 31, 2008, but exclude redemption requests received for March 31, 2009 as these redemptions are reflected in assets under management as of April 1, 2009.
Assets under management as of April 1, 2009 were $20.3 billion, which reflects redemptions for the month of March 2009 (net of April 1, 2009 capital inflows) of $2.3 billion. Virtually all redemptions for a quarter generally are paid on the first day of the month following the quarter in which the redemption notice was submitted, and capital inflows for that month are accepted on the same day. Redemptions remained elevated in the 2009 first quarter as global market conditions continued to be unsettled, particularly in January and February. The Company believes that redemptions also continued to be adversely impacted due to the continued effect of other alternative asset managers that imposed gates, or who otherwise restricted access to investor capital. Och-Ziff has provided, and continues to provide, liquidity to its fund investors in accordance with the pre-defined terms of its funds.
Estimated assets under management as of May 1, 2009 were $20.6 billion, which reflects redemptions for the month of April 2009 (net of May 1, 2009 capital inflows) of $84.8 million, and performance-related appreciation of $391.7 million.

convertible arbitrage, and credit, all of which are core strategies in the
Company's master funds.
Summary results OF THE OCH-ZIFF FUNDS SEGMENT
The Company conducts substantially all of its business through the Och-Ziff Funds segment, which is currently the Company's only reportable segment. This segment provides management and advisory services to the Company's hedge funds and separately managed accounts.
Economic Income
Economic Income Revenues
First quarter 2009 Economic Income Revenues were $92.6 million, a 37% decrease from first quarter 2008 Economic Income Revenues of $146.5 million. Management Fees were $92.4 million, 36% lower than first quarter 2008 Management Fees of $145.0 million.
Economic Income Revenues were lower year-over-year as a result of the decline in assets under management, primarily due to performance-related depreciation and investor redemptions in the second half of 2008. Redemption requests made in March 2009 had no impact on first quarter 2009 results as they reduced assets under management as of April 1, 2009 in accordance with the Company's practices. Therefore, the effect of these redemptions on Management Fees will be recognized in the Company's second quarter 2009 results.
Economic Income Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
First quarter 2009 Compensation and Benefits expenses totaled $20.4 million, 14% lower than first quarter 2008 Compensation and Benefits expenses of $23.7 million. The decrease in Compensation and Benefits in the 2009 first quarter was almost entirely attributable to the decline in cash bonus expense. First quarter 2009 Compensation and Benefits included $4.9 million of cash bonus expense, which was 40% lower than first quarter 2008 cash bonus expense of $8.1 million due to a lower level of one-time, non-recurring bonus payments.
Non-Compensation Expenses
First quarter 2009 Non-compensation Expenses were $24.1 million, a 31% decrease from first quarter 2008 Non-compensation Expenses of $35.1 million. The decrease was driven principally by lower professional services fees, lower interest expense on the Company's $750 million term loan due to the decline in the loan's LIBOR-based borrowing rate, and lower business development costs, partially offset by higher occupancy expense and insurance costs.
Economic Income
First quarter 2009 Economic Income for the Och-Ziff Funds segment totaled $48.2 million, a 45% decrease from first quarter 2008 Economic Income of $87.7 million.
Summary results OF THE COMPANY's OTHER OPERATIONS
The Company's Other Operations are comprised of its real estate business, which manages and provides advisory services to its real estate funds, and investments in new businesses established to expand certain of the Company's private investments platforms which includes the Company's investment in its Asia real estate business. The businesses within Other Operations are currently in early growth stages, and are not included in the results of the Och-Ziff Funds segment discussed above.
First quarter 2009 Economic Income for the Company's Other Operations was a net loss of $3.7 million, a 6% increase from a $3.4 million net loss in the 2008 first quarter. The 2009 first quarter net loss was primarily related to compensation costs associated with the Company's Asia real estate business. The 2008 first quarter net loss was primarily related to the Company's share of the start-up costs associated with establishing its African joint venture.
CAPITAL
As of March 31, 2009, the number of Class A Shares outstanding was 76,373,392. For purposes of calculating Distributable Earnings per Share, the Company assumes that all Group A Units and RSUs outstanding as of March 31, 2009 have been converted on a one-to-one basis into Class A Shares. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2009, the total weighted-average Adjusted Class A Shares outstanding was 403,114,691.
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors of Och-Ziff declared a first quarter 2009 dividend of $0.05 per Class A Share, to be paid on May 11, 2009 to holders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2009.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the dividend will be treated as a partnership distribution. Based on the best information currently available, the Company estimates that when calculating withholding taxes, the entire amount of the first quarter 2009 dividend will be treated as U.S. source dividend income.
Non-U.S. holders of Class A Shares are generally subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% (subject to reduction by applicable treaty or other exception) on their share of U.S. source dividends and certain other types of U.S. source income realized by the Company. With respect to interest, however, no withholding is generally required if proper certification (on an IRS Form W-8) of a beneficial owner's foreign status has been filed with the withholding agent. In addition, non-U.S. holders must generally provide the withholding agent with a properly completed IRS Form W-8 to obtain any reduction in withholding.

Exhibit 5
OCH-ZIFF CAPITAL MANAGEMENT GROUP LLC
Description of Adjustments Made to Reconcile Economic Income to U.S.
GAAP Net Loss
Funds Consolidation
Economic Income excludes the impacts of consolidated Och-Ziff funds,
including the related eliminations.
Other Adjustments
(a) Economic Income presents management fees net of recurring assets
under management placement fees, as management considers these fees
a reduction in management fees, not as an expense.
(b) Economic Income recognizes deferred cash compensation expense in the
period in which it is awarded, as management determines the total amount
of compensation based on the Company's performance in the year of the
award.
(c) Economic Income excludes equity-based compensation expense, as
management does not consider these expenses when evaluating the
performance of the Company.
(d) Economic Income excludes allocations to non-equity partner interests.
Management reviewed the performance of the Company before it made any
allocations to the Company's non-equity founding partners for periods
prior to the Reorganization. For these periods, allocations to the
founding partners, other than Mr. Och, were treated as expenses for U.S.
GAAP purposes. Following the Reorganization, only allocations related
to earnings on previously deferred incentive income allocations to non-
equity partner interests are incurred and these allocations are excluded
from Economic Income.
(e) Economic Income excludes Reorganization expenses, which are non-cash
expenses directly attributable to the reclassification of interests held
by the founding partners and the Ziffs prior to the Reorganization as
Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units.
(f) Economic Income excludes the profit sharing expense related to the
Ziffs' interest in the Company. Management reviewed the performance of
the Company before it made any allocations to the Ziffs for periods prior
to the Reorganization. Following the Reorganization, only profit sharing
expense related to the allocation of earnings on previously deferred
incentive income allocations to the Ziffs are incurred and these
allocations are excluded from Economic Income.
(g) Economic Income excludes depreciation, changes in the tax receivable
agreement liability and income taxes, as management does not consider
these items when evaluating the performance of the Company.
(h) Economic Income excludes the net earnings (losses) on the deferred
income receivable from Och-Ziff funds and net earnings (losses) on
investments in Och-Ziff funds, as these amounts primarily relate to
earnings (losses) on amounts due to affiliates for deferred or reinvested
incentive income previously allocated to the founding partners and the
Ziffs, and earnings (losses) on amounts due to employees under deferred
cash compensation arrangements.
(i) Economic Income excludes amounts allocated to the partners and the
Ziffs on their interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group, as management
reviews the performance of the Company at the Och-Ziff Operating Group
level. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through
the Och-Ziff Operating Group. Additionally, Economic Income excludes
amounts allocated to investors in consolidated Och-Ziff funds, as
Economic Income excludes the impacts of consolidated Och-Ziff funds.

affiliated parties for which the Company charged no management fees and
received no incentive income for the periods presented. Amounts
presented in this table are not the amounts used to calculate Management
Fees and Incentive Income for the respective periods.
(2) Appreciation (depreciation) reflects the aggregate net capital
appreciation (depreciation) for the entire period and is presented on a
total return basis, net of all fees and expenses (except incentive income
on certain unrealized private investments that could reduce returns on
these investments at the time of realization), and includes the
reinvestment of all dividends and income. Management Fees and Incentive
Income vary by product. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results.
(3) Reflects a composite of the monthly return and year-to-date return
for the feeder funds comprising each of the Company's most significant
master funds and is presented on a total return basis, net of all fees
and expenses of the relevant fund (except incentive income on certain
unrealized special investments that could reduce returns at the time
of realization), and includes the reinvestment of all dividends and
income. Performance includes realized and unrealized gains and losses
attributable to certain private and initial public offering investments
that are not allocated to all investors in the funds. Investors that do
not participate in such investments or that pay different fees may
experience materially different returns. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results.

Total net return for the OZ Master Fund (the "Fund") represents a
composite of the average return of the feeder funds that comprise the
Fund. Returns are presented on a total return basis, net of all fees and
expenses (except incentive income on certain unrealized private
investments that could reduce returns on these investments at the time
of realization), and include the reinvestment of all dividends and
income. Performance includes realized and unrealized gains and losses
attributable to certain private and initial public offering investments
that are not allocated to all investors in the Fund. Investors that do
not participate in such investments or that pay different fees may
experience materially different returns. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results.
For the period from 1994 through 1997, performance represents the
performance of Och-Ziff Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership that was managed by Daniel Och following an investment
strategy that is substantially similar to that of the Fund. In addition,
during this period, performance was calculated by deducting Management
Fees on a quarterly basis and Incentive Income on a monthly basis.
Beginning January 1998, performance has been calculated by deducting both
Management Fees and Incentive Income on a monthly basis from the
composite returns of the Fund.
Readers should not assume that there is any material overlap between
those securities in the portfolio of the Fund and those that comprise the
S&P 500 Index. It is not possible to invest directly in the S&P 500
Index. Returns of the S&P 500 Index have not been reduced by fees and
expenses associated with investing in securities and include the
reinvestment of dividends. The S&P 500 Index is an equity index owned
and maintained by Standard & Poor's, a division of McGraw-Hill, whose
value is calculated as the free float-weighted average of the share
prices of 500 large-cap corporations listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq.
The comparison of S&P 500 Index performance relative to the Fund's
performance during months in which the S&P 500 Index declined is for the
limited purpose of illustrating how the Fund has performed during periods
of declines in the broad equity market. It should not be considered an
indication of how the Fund will perform relative to the S&P 500 Index in
the future.
Please note that the Fund's investment objective is not to beat the S&P
500 Index. Furthermore, the Fund's performance has frequently trailed
that of the S&P 500 Index in periods of positive performance.
