Our priority remains providing best-in-class advice to our clients, and in turn, delivering more value for our shareholders,” stated Andrew Bednar, Chief Executive Officer. NEW YORK, Nov. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perella Weinberg Partners (the “Firm” or “PWP”) (NASDAQ:PWP) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Revenues
For the third quarter of 2024, revenues were $278.2 million, an increase of 100% from $139.0 million for the third quarter of 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenues were $652.4 million, an increase of 50% from $436.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The higher revenues in both current year periods was attributable to increased mergers and acquisition and financing and capital solutions activity, driven by larger transactions and related fee events across the business.
Expenses
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 GAAP Adjusted GAAP Adjusted GAAP Adjusted GAAP Adjusted Operating expenses (Dollars in Millions) (Dollars in Millions) Total compensation and benefits $ 202.3 $ 189.2 $ 127.8 $ 93.0 $ 628.2 $ 443.7 $ 393.8 $ 291.9 % of Revenues 73 % 68 % 92 % 67 % 96 % 68 % 90 % 67 % Non-compensation expenses $ 40.0 $ 37.9 $ 37.9 $ 34.3 $ 124.1 $ 116.1 $ 113.3 $ 105.2 % of Revenues 14 % 14 % 27 % 25 % 19 % 18 % 26 % 24 % Three Months Ended
GAAP total compensation and benefits were $202.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $127.8 million for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted total compensation and benefits were $189.2 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $93.0 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in total compensation and benefits was due to a larger bonus accrual on an absolute dollar basis associated with higher revenues along with a higher compensation margin.
GAAP non-compensation expenses were $40.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $37.9 million for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted non-compensation expenses were $37.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $34.3 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in non-compensation expenses was largely driven by higher depreciation expense tied to office renovations and an increase in general, administrative and other expenses and technology related spend.
Nine Months Ended
GAAP total compensation and benefits were $628.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $393.8 million for the prior year period. The current period compensation expense includes the second quarter impact of the one-time accelerated vesting of certain partnership unit awards (the “Vesting Acceleration”). Adjusted total compensation and benefits were $443.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $291.9 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in total compensation and benefits was due to a larger bonus accrual on an absolute dollar basis associated with higher revenues along with a higher compensation margin.
GAAP non-compensation expenses were $124.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $113.3 million for the prior year period. Adjusted non-compensation expenses were $116.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $105.2 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in non-compensation expenses was largely driven by an increase in professional fees including consulting and legal, higher depreciation expense tied to office renovations and relocations, and bad debt write-offs, partially offset by lower rent and occupancy costs.
Provision for Income Taxes
Perella Weinberg Partners currently owns 64.6% of the operating partnership (“PWP OpCo”) and is subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income tax on its allocable share of earnings. Income earned by the operating partnership is subject to certain state, local, and foreign income taxes.
For purposes of calculating adjusted if-converted net income, we have presented our results as if all partnership units had been converted to shares of Class A common stock, and as if all of our adjusted results for the period were subject to U.S. corporate income tax. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the effective tax rate for adjusted if-converted net income was 29%. This tax rate includes a $3.4 million benefit from the vesting of restricted stock units at a share price higher than the grant price.
Balance Sheet and Capital Management
As of September 30, 2024, PWP had $335.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities. The Firm has no outstanding indebtedness and has an undrawn revolving credit facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, PWP returned $215.1 million in aggregate to our equity holders through (i) the settlement of 6,149,211 PWP OpCo units in connection with the one-time Vesting Acceleration at a price of $14.07 per unit and the net settlement of 3,773,416 share equivalents at an average price per share of $16.28, (ii) the settlement of exchanges of 1,343,257 PWP OpCo units for cash at $15.17 per unit and the repurchase of 1,000,000 shares pursuant to a contractual repurchase right at $15.00 per share, (iii) the payment of $16.2 million in distributions to limited partners, and (iv) the payment of aggregate dividends of $15.6 million to Class A common stockholders. Certain tax withholding amounts related to the above activity were accrued and unpaid as of September 30, 2024 and are expected to be paid within one year.
At September 30, 2024, there were 57.0 million shares of Class A common stock and 31.2 million partnership units outstanding.
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share of Class A common stock. The dividend will be paid on December 18, 2024 to Class A common stockholders of record on December 4, 2024.

In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we monitor certain non-GAAP financial measures to manage our business, make planning decisions, evaluate our performance and allocate resources. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are key financial indicators of our business performance over the long term and provide useful information regarding whether cash provided by operating activities is sufficient to maintain and grow our business. We believe that the methodology for determining these non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful supplemental information to help investors better understand the economics of our platform.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the analysis of other GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not universally consistent calculations, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Other companies may calculate similarly titled financial measures differently. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, you should examine our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this press release.
Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using these non-GAAP financial measures through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables at the end of this release for an explanation of the adjustments and reconciliations to the comparable GAAP numbers.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the control of the parties, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include (but are not limited to): global economic, business and market conditions; the Company’s dependence on and ability to retain employees; the Company’s ability to successfully identify, recruit and develop talent; conditions impacting the corporate advisory industry; the Firm’s dependence on its fee-paying clients and fluctuating revenues from its non-exclusive, engagement-by-engagement business model; the high volatility of the Company’s revenues as a result of its reliance on advisory fees that are largely contingent on the completion of events which may be out of its control; the Company’s ability to appropriately manage conflicts of interest and tax and other regulatory factors relevant to the Company’s business, including actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest and other factors that may damage its business and reputation; the Company’s successful formulation and execution of its business and growth strategies; substantial litigation risks in the financial services industry; cybersecurity and other operational risks; assumptions relating to the Company’s operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity; extensive regulation of the corporate advisory industry and U.S. and foreign regulatory developments relating to, among other things, financial institutions and markets, government oversight, fiscal and tax policy and laws (including the treatment of carried interest); and other risks and uncertainties described under “Part I—Item 1A.

(1) Equity-based compensation not dilutive to investors in PWP or PWP OpCo includes the amortization of legacy awards granted to certain partners prior to the business combination that closed on June 24, 2021 (the “Business Combination”) and the amortization of awards granted by PWP Professional Partners LP (the “Professional Partners Awards”), which were subject to the Vesting Acceleration in the second quarter of 2024. The vesting of these awards did not economically dilute PWP shareholders’ interests relative to the interests of other investors in PWP OpCo. The legacy awards were fully amortized as of September 30, 2023.
(2) Public company transaction related incentives includes equity-based compensation for transaction-related restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”) which are directly related to milestone events that were part of the Business Combination process and reorganization. These payments were outside of PWP’s normal and recurring bonus and compensation processes.
(3) During the second quarter of 2023, we began a review of the business, which resulted in headcount reductions in order to improve compensation alignment and to provide greater flexibility to advance strategic opportunities. Costs were incurred through the first quarter of 2024 and included separation and transition benefits and the accelerated amortization (net of forfeitures) of certain equity-based awards, including certain Professional Partners Awards and transaction-related RSUs and PSUs, which would have been adjusted through adjustments (1) and (2) above notwithstanding the business realignment.
(4) On November 30, 2016, we completed a business combination with Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co., LLC (TPH), an independent advisory firm focused on the energy industry. The adjustment reflects the amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisition, and such assets will be fully amortized by November 30, 2026.
(5) Transaction costs that were expensed associated with the Business Combination, including (i) equity-based vesting for transaction-related RSUs issued to non-employees and (ii) costs incurred related to the partnership restructuring that was contemplated during the implementation of the up-C structure at the time of the Business Combination.
(6) Certain expenses incurred related to the previously reported settlement with the staff of the SEC (the “Settlement”).
(7) See reconciliation below for the components of the consolidated statements of operations included in non-compensation expense—GAAP as well as Adjusted non-compensation expense.
(8) Includes (i) the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs for all periods presented, (ii) minimal charges related to the Vesting Acceleration for the nine months ended September 2024, (iii) the $1.25 million charge related to the Settlement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and (iv) a non-operating loss on investment for the nine months ended September 2023.
(9) The adjusted income tax expense represents the Company’s calculated tax expense on adjusted non-GAAP results. It excludes the impact on income taxes of certain transaction-related items and other items not reflected in our adjusted non-GAAP results. It does not represent the cash that the Company expects to pay for taxes in the current periods.
(10) The if-converted income tax expense represents the Company's calculated tax expense on adjusted non-GAAP results assuming the exchange of all partnership units for PWP Class A common stock, resulting in all of the Company’s results for the period being subject to corporate-level tax.
(11) Represents the dilutive impact under the treasury stock method of unvested RSUs and PSUs.
(12) Represents the dilutive impact assuming the vesting and conversion of all PWP OpCo units to shares of Class A common stock.
(13) Reconciliations of key metrics from GAAP to Adjusted results are a derivative of the reconciliation of their components.
