As of September 30, 2026, our AUM was $329.9 billion, which included $192.2 billion of FPAUM. As of September 30, 2026, we had $36.3 billion in AUM not yet paying fees, providing approximately $402 million of annualized management fees once deployed. See “—Assets Under Management” for additional information, including important information on how we define these metrics.
Business Environment
Our business is impacted by the financial markets and economic conditions in the United States, and to a lesser extent, globally.
During the third quarter of 2026, global equity and debt markets remained driven by expectations around inflation, interest rates, artificial intelligence (“AI”)-related capital expenditures, and ongoing geopolitical tensions, including in the Middle East and their impact on certain energy prices. Equity indices saw modest appreciation during the third quarter despite lack of market breadth, with approximately two-thirds of S&P 500 and Russell 1000 stocks retreating during the quarter. The 10-year Treasury yield in the United States ended the third quarter of 2026 at 5.29%, approximately 85 basis points higher than June 30, 2026 and in late September, the Federal Reserve announced a rate hike of 25 basis points, increasing the federal funds target range to 3.75% to 4.00%. This represented a significant shift from the beginning of the year, when market participants had anticipated further reductions in the federal funds rate. For our business, changes in base rates and credit spreads affect the yields available on new investments, the income generated by existing floating rate investments and the fees we may earn across our Credit platform, while AI-related capital expenditures continue to drive demand for capital in our digital infrastructure strategy, each as discussed further below.
We operate three differentiated platforms at scale across Credit, Real Assets and GP Strategic Capital. AUM of $329.9 billion grew 12% year over year, with growth across each platform. Over the last twelve months, approximately 85% of our GAAP and FRE (as defined below) management fees were generated by Permanent Capital. Capital raising during the third quarter of 2026 was diversified across asset classes, strategies and channels, resulting in $12.6 billion of new capital commitments during the third quarter of 2026 and $48.8 billion over the last twelve months. We ended the third quarter of 2026 with substantial available capital to deploy, reporting $36.3 billion of AUM not yet paying fees.
During the third quarter of 2026, we continued to further the diversification of our business. Inflows during the quarter were primarily driven by our Credit and Real Assets platforms, and the third quarter represented a record quarter of institutional fundraising. Institutional investors represent approximately 70% of equity capital raised over the last twelve months. Over this period, capital commitments have been diversified across existing investor re-ups, new client commitments, and cross-selling investors into new products, showcasing the breadth and expansion of our investor base.
In Credit, the market environment during the quarter was defined by significant moves in risk-free rates and ultimately ended with the federal funds rate hike, presenting opportunities to deploy capital into a higher rate and higher spread environment. In direct lending, third quarter activity was driven heavily by existing borrowers. Because our direct lending portfolios consist predominantly of floating rate loans, higher base rates increase the interest income earned on existing loans as they reprice, in addition to the higher all-in yields available on new originations. Higher net investment income in our BDCs generally results in higher Part I Fees, which are calculated based on net investment income in these products. We continue to see deployment consistent with an industry backdrop of moderate sponsor-driven M&A activity. In alternative credit and investment grade credit, deployment was more opportunistic in reaction to the currently evolving interest rate and spread landscape. In alternative credit, this included investing in floating rate assets and acquiring fixed rate assets on more attractive terms, and in investment grade credit, market volatility created opportunities to generate higher excess spread for our insurance clients. Our alternative credit interval fund has now reached approximately $3 billion of AUM just over a year after launching. Across our Credit platform, borrower health remains strong and the performance of our funds and vehicles has continued to outpace their relevant public benchmarks.
In Real Assets, our pipeline for deployment remained at near record levels as we continue to play a central role in providing valuable capital to corporations across themes such as data centers, industrials and reshoring, healthcare, and cold storage. Across the platform, we see over $140 billion of opportunities in net lease and digital infrastructure. As a result of the rate volatility during the third quarter, we also saw record demand for financing solutions, including loans and bridge financing structures, on more favorable terms than in recent periods, in our real estate credit strategy. Our digital infrastructure non-traded REIT Blue Owl Digital Infrastructure Trust (“ODIT”) has reached over $4.5 billion of AUM less than a year after launching, highlighting investor interest in the strategy and acknowledging Blue Owl’s central role in financing the expansion of compute across both cloud and AI. Consistent with our focus on income-generating, downside-protected investing, substantially all of the counterparties in our digital infrastructure strategy are investment grade.
8
In GP Strategic Capital, we continue to put capital to work out of our latest flagship fund, making our sixth investment out of that product in the third quarter. Products across the GP Strategic Capital platform remain in the top quartile on distributions to paid-in capital, a key metric as fund investors put increasing value on cash flows. We continue to see strong interest in our capital solutions from both limited partners in our funds and general partners in which we take stakes as a result of the current market landscape.
Assets Under Management
We present information regarding our AUM, FPAUM and various other related metrics throughout this MD&A to provide context around our results for our fee generating revenues, as well as indicators of the potential for future earnings from existing and new products. Our calculations of AUM and FPAUM may differ from the calculation methodologies of other asset managers, and as a result these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. In addition, our calculation of AUM includes amounts that are fee exempt (i.e., not subject to fees).
As of September 30, 2026, assets under management related to us, our executives and other employees totaled approximately $5.6 billion (including approximately $3.1 billion related to accrued carried interest). A portion of these assets under management are not charged fees.
Composition of Assets Under Management
Our AUM consists of FPAUM, AUM not yet paying fees, fee-exempt AUM and net appreciation and leverage in products on which fees are based on commitments or investment cost. AUM not yet paying fees generally relates to unfunded capital commitments (to the extent such commitments are not already subject to fees), undeployed debt (to the extent we earn fees based on total asset values or investment cost, inclusive of assets purchased using debt) and AUM that is subject to a temporary fee holiday. Fee-exempt AUM represents certain investments by us, our employees, other related parties and third parties, as well as certain co-investment vehicles on which we never earn fees.
Management uses AUM not yet paying fees as an indicator of management fees that will come online as we deploy existing assets in products that charge fees based on deployed and not uncalled capital, as well as AUM that is currently subject to a fee holiday that will expire in the future. AUM not yet paying fees could provide approximately $402 million of additional annualized management fees once deployed or upon the expiration of the relevant fee holidays.

All amounts shown as of September 30, 2026, totals may not sum due to rounding.
Permanency and Duration of Assets Under Management
Our capital base is heavily weighted toward Permanent Capital. We view the permanency and duration of the products that we manage as a differentiator in our industry and as a means of measuring the stability of our future revenue streams. The chart below presents the composition of our management fees by remaining product duration. Changes in these relative percentages will occur over time as the mix of products we offer changes. For example, our Real Assets products have a higher concentration in what we refer to as “long-dated” funds, or funds in which the remaining contractual life is five years or more, which may cause our percentage of management fees from Permanent Capital to decline.
All amounts shown as of September 30, 2026, totals may not sum due to rounding.

Fundraising
We raise capital from institutional investors and private wealth clients. Institutional investors include prominent public and private pension funds, endowments, foundations, family offices, private banks, asset managers and insurance companies. Private wealth clients consist of individual clients, accessed through prominent wealth management firms and private banks, who invest primarily in our continuously offered products, such as our non-traded BDCs, OWLCX, Blue Owl Real Estate Net Lease Trust (“ORENT”) and ODIT, and, through feeder vehicles, in certain of our drawdown funds.
The following chart presents new capital raised by channel for the periods indicated. See “—Changes in AUM” and “—Changes in FPAUM” for additional information about capital flows in the periods presented, including new capital raised by platform.
Over the past several years, private wealth clients have become an increasingly significant source of new capital for us and for the alternative asset management industry more broadly, as individual investors have increased their allocations to alternative investments. During 2026, however, private wealth clients have contributed a smaller share of our new capital raised relative to institutional clients. New capital raised from private wealth clients has declined compared to the prior year, reflecting lower subscriptions across the industry in non-traded BDCs and other direct lending products amid heightened market and media attention on direct lending. Private wealth inflows have, however, recovered from May 2026 levels. New capital raised from institutional clients has increased compared to the prior year, primarily in our investment grade credit, real estate credit and alternative credit strategies. Notwithstanding this recent shift in mix, we continue to view private wealth as a significant long-term source of capital for our business.
We earn management fees on capital raised from both channels, and the principal effect of the mix is on the liquidity profile of our AUM. Capital raised from institutional clients is generally committed to drawdown funds or other products that do not permit investors to redeem. By contrast, our continuously offered products, in which most capital from private wealth clients is invested, provide investors with periodic liquidity through quarterly tender offers or share repurchases. These have been generally limited to 5% of each product’s outstanding shares or NAV per quarter and are conducted at the discretion of each product’s board of directors or trustees. As a result, as the share of our AUM raised from private wealth clients grows, a larger portion of our FPAUM may be subject to tender offers or share repurchases, and the level of these requests may be influenced by investor sentiment, market conditions and media attention, in addition to product performance. For a discussion of these risks, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Products—We are vulnerable to an increased number of investors seeking to participate in share repurchase programs or tender offers of our non-traded products” and “—Risks Related to Our Legal and Regulatory Environment—We are subject to litigation and public perception risks, and consequently, we may face liabilities and damage to our professional reputation” in our Annual Report.
11
Management fees from these private wealth products are generally calculated based on NAV, and Part I Fees in our BDCs are calculated on net investment income, both of which scale with the size of each product’s portfolio. Redemptions therefore reduce the base on which we earn these fees to the extent they are not offset by new capital raised, and a sustained elevated level of redemptions would result in lower management fees, including Part I Fees, and correspondingly lower revenues and cash flows from operations. See “—Changes in AUM” and “—Changes in FPAUM” for the amount of redemptions in the periods presented. For a discussion of risks related to our fee-based revenues, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Investment Management—Management fees and other fees comprise a substantial majority of our revenues and a reduction in such fees could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and the level of cash available for distributions to our stockholders” in our Annual Report.

Product Performance
Product performance for certain of our products is included throughout this discussion with analysis to facilitate an understanding of our results of operations for the periods presented. We generally present a commingled product in our performance information for a given period if the product represents more than 1% of our management fees and the product has been investing for at least two years; however, private funds that are actively fundraising are excluded. Once presented, a product generally continues to be presented until the quarter in which it ceases to generate management fees, at which point it is removed.
The performance information of our products reflected is not indicative of Blue Owl’s performance. An investment in Blue Owl is not an investment in any of our products. Past performance is not indicative of future results. As with any investment, there is always the potential for gains as well as the possibility of losses. There can be no assurance that any of these products or our other existing and future products will achieve similar returns.

Revenues, Net
Management and Other Fees, Net. The increase in management and other fees was due to increases of $30.2 million from management fees, and $54.5 million from administrative, transaction and other fees, partially offset by an increase of $6.3 million in fee offsets. Fee offsets refers to management fee offsets as a result of amortization of incentives paid to certain investors in our products.
The increase in management fees was primarily due to the drivers below. See Note 9 to our Financial Statements for additional details on our GAAP management fees by strategy.
•Credit decreased $8.2 million, primarily due to a decrease of $16.4 million from direct lending, driven by lower Part I Fees in our BDCs, partially offset by an increase of $11.4 million from alternative credit products, driven by continued fundraising and deployment of capital within new and existing products.
•Real Assets increased $27.3 million, primarily due to an increase of $19.4 million from net lease products, driven by continued fundraising and capital deployment, particularly within ORENT.
•GP Strategic Capital increased $11.1 million, primarily driven by fundraising in our sixth vintage GP minority stakes product, partially offset by a fee step down in a prior vintage GP minority stakes product that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The increase in administrative, transaction and other fees was driven primarily by the following:
•$40.2 million increase in fee income primarily from capital markets services, which will vary from quarter to quarter.
•$14.3 million increase in administrative fees, primarily driven by a higher level of compensation expenses reimbursable from our funds due to the growth in our products and business overall.
17
The increase in fee offsets of $6.3 million was driven by digital infrastructure and alternative credit products, as we began paying incentives to certain investors in alternative credit products in the third quarter of 2025, and the prior-year period therefore reflects only partial amortization. Fee offsets for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $2.5 million.
Expenses
Compensation and Benefits. Compensation and benefits expenses increased primarily due to the following:
•$19.7 million increase in equity-based compensation expense, primarily driven by annual grants made during the fourth quarter of 2025 in connection with year-end bonus compensation, as well as an increase in acquisition-related equity compensation. The third quarter of 2026 was the final quarter for amortization related to equity grants issued in connection with the Business Combination.
•The remaining increase was due to higher compensation to existing employees, as well as increased headcount due to our continued growth.
General, Administrative and Other Expenses. General, administrative and other expenses increased, primarily driven by occupancy and other office-related costs, and professional fees, reflecting our increased headcount due to our continued growth.
Other Loss
Net Gains (Losses) on Investments. The change in the net loss on investments in the current period was driven primarily by the change in fair value attributable to the preferred equity investment made in April 2024 in Kuvare UK Holdings.
Change in Earnout Liability. The change in the earnout liability for the current year period was due to a decrease in the fair value of the KAM Earnouts (as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in our Annual Report). The change in the earnout liability for the prior period was primarily driven by the increase in the fair value of the KAM Earnouts.
Net (Income) Loss Attributable To Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily represents the allocation to Common Units (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements) of their pro rata share of the Blue Owl Operating Group’s net income. The Common Units represent an approximately 56% and 58% weighted average economic interest in the Blue Owl Operating Group for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The year-over-year decline in the Common Units’ interest in the Blue Owl Operating Group was driven by exchanges of Common Units for Class A Shares.

Revenues, Net
Management and Other Fees, Net. The increase in management and other fees was due to increases of $128.1 million from management fees, and $100.0 million from administrative, transaction and other fees, partially offset by an increase of $28.2 million in fee offsets.
The increase in management fees was primarily due to the drivers below. See Note 9 to our Financial Statements for additional details on our GAAP management fees by strategy.
•Credit increased $67.2 million, primarily due to increases of $36.1 million from direct lending and $32.2 million from alternative credit products, both of which were driven by continued fundraising and deployment of capital within new and existing products.
•Real Assets increased $37.4 million, primarily due to an increase of $56.1 million from net lease products, driven by continued fundraising and capital deployment, particularly within ORENT, partially offset by a decrease of $24.7 million from digital infrastructure products, as the prior-year period included $35.1 million of catch-up fees from Blue Owl Digital Infrastructure Fund III, substantially all of which were paid as contingent consideration to the sellers of the IPI business.
•GP Strategic Capital increased $23.5 million, primarily driven by fundraising in our sixth vintage GP minority stakes product, partially offset by a fee step down in a prior vintage GP minority stakes product that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The increase in administrative, transaction and other fees was driven primarily by the following:
•$41.5 million increase in administrative fees, primarily driven by a higher level of compensation expenses reimbursable from our funds due to the growth in our products and business overall.
•$50.9 million increase in fee income primarily from capital markets services, which will vary from quarter to quarter.
•$7.5 million increase in dealer manager revenues, primarily due to growth in sales of net lease products.
19
The increase in fee offsets of $28.2 million was driven by alternative credit and digital infrastructure products, as we began paying incentives to certain investors in alternative credit products in the third quarter of 2025, and the prior-year period therefore reflects only partial amortization. Fee offsets for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $2.5 million.
Expenses
Compensation and Benefits. Compensation and benefits expenses increased primarily due to the following:
•$66.7 million increase in equity-based compensation expense, primarily driven by annual grants made during the fourth quarter of 2025 in connection with year-end bonus compensation, as well as an increase in acquisition-related equity compensation. The third quarter of 2026 was the final quarter for amortization related to equity grants issued in connection with the Business Combination.
•The remaining increase was due to higher compensation to existing employees, as well as increased headcount due to our continued growth.
General, Administrative and Other Expenses. General, administrative and other expenses increased, primarily driven by the following:
•$12.6 million increase in reimbursement expenses mostly related to dealer manager expenses, which is primarily due to growth in the distribution of ORENT and ODIT.
•$11.2 million increase in expense support for certain products that we manage.
•$33.5 million offsetting decrease in Transaction Expenses (as defined below) primarily driven by expenses in the first quarter of 2025 due to the IPI Acquisition as well as lower costs incurred in the current-year period, compared to costs incurred in the prior-year period, related to the mergers of certain of our BDCs that occurred in 2025.
•$13.9 million offsetting decrease in acquisition-related equity-based compensation related to the Services Agreement, which was entered into in January 2025. See Note 10 to our Financial Statements for additional details on the Services Agreement.
•$23.8 million increase in other operating expenses across various categories that were individually immaterial, primarily in occupancy and other office-related costs, and professional fees, driven by our continued growth.
Other Loss
Net Losses on Investments. The change in net losses on investments for the current year period was driven by the change in fair value of the preferred equity investment made in April 2024 in Kuvare UK Holdings.
Interest Expense. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by a higher average balance on our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7 to our Financial Statements), as well as an increase due to the issuance, through our indirect subsidiary, Blue Owl Finance LLC (“Finance LLC”), of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.750% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “2036 Notes”).
Change in Earnout Liability. The change in the earnout liability for the current year period was primarily driven by the decrease in fair value of the KAM Earnouts. The change in the earnout liability for the prior year period was primarily driven by an increase in the fair value of the KAM Earnouts, partially offset by the IPI Earnouts (as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in our Annual Report), as a decrease in our share price drove a decrease in the value of Common Units delivered to sellers during the second quarter of 2025.
Net (Income) Loss Attributable To Noncontrolling Interests
Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily represents the allocation to Common Units of their pro rata share of the Blue Owl Operating Group’s net income. The Common Units represented an approximately 56% and 59% weighted average economic interest in the Blue Owl Operating Group for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The year-over-year decline in the Common Units’ interest in the Blue Owl Operating Group was driven by exchanges of Common Units for Class A Shares.

Non-GAAP Analysis
In addition to presenting our results in accordance with GAAP, we present certain other financial measures that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these measures in budgeting and to assess the operating results of our business, and we believe that this information enhances the ability of stockholders to analyze our performance from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement and should be considered in addition to and not in lieu of our GAAP results, and such measures should not be considered as indicative of our liquidity. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Please see “—Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Fee-Related Earnings and Related Components
Fee-Related Earnings (“FRE”) is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our core operating performance used to make operating decisions and assess our core operating results, focusing on whether our core revenue streams, primarily consisting of management fees, are sufficient to cover our core operating expenses. FRE performance revenues refers to the GAAP performance revenues that are measured and eligible to be received on a recurring basis and not dependent on realization events from the underlying investments. Management also reviews the components that comprise Fee-Related Earnings (i.e., FRE revenues and FRE expenses) on the same basis used to calculate Fee-Related Earnings, and such components are also non-GAAP measures and have been identified with the prefix “FRE” in the tables and discussion below.
Fee-Related Earnings exclude various items that are required for the presentation of our results under GAAP, including the following: noncontrolling interests in Blue Owl Holdings; equity-based compensation expense; compensation expenses related to capital contributions in certain subsidiary holding companies that are in-turn paid as compensation to certain employees, as such contributions are not included in Fee-Related Earnings or Distributable Earnings (“DE”); amortization of acquisition-related earnouts and transaction bonuses; amortization of intangible assets; “Transaction Expenses” as defined below; expense support payments and subsequent reimbursements; net gains (losses) on investments; interest and dividend income; interest expense; changes in TRA, warrant and earnout liabilities; and taxes. Transaction expenses are expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions and strategic transactions, including subsequent adjustments related to such transactions, that were not eligible to be netted against consideration or recognized as acquired assets and assumed liabilities in the relevant transactions (“Transaction Expenses”). FRE revenues also exclude the portion of IPI catch-up fees earned that relate to periods prior to the closing of the IPI Acquisition, as such amounts are payable as contingent consideration to the sellers. FRE revenues and FRE expenses also exclude DE performance revenues and related compensation expense, as well as revenues and expenses related to amounts reimbursed by our products, including administrative fees and dealer manager reallowed commissions, that have no impact on our bottom line operating results, and therefore FRE revenues and FRE expenses do not represent our total revenues or total expenses in any given period. DE performance revenues refers to GAAP performance revenues that are not FRE performance revenues.
Distributable Earnings
Distributable Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of operating performance that equals Fee-Related Earnings plus or minus, as relevant, DE performance revenues and related compensation, interest and dividend income, interest expense, as well as amounts payable for taxes and payments made pursuant to the TRA. Amounts payable for taxes presents the current income taxes payable, excluding the impact of tax contingency-related accrued expenses or benefits, as such amounts are included when paid or received, related to the respective period’s earnings, assuming that all Distributable Earnings were allocated to the Registrant, which would occur following the exchange of all Common Units and Incentive Units (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements) for Class A Shares. Current income taxes payable and payments made pursuant to the TRA reflect the benefit of tax deductions that are excluded when calculating Distributable Earnings (e.g., equity-based compensation expenses, Transaction Expenses, tax goodwill, etc.). If these tax deductions were to be excluded from amounts payable for taxes, Distributable Earnings would be lower and our effective tax rate would appear to be higher, even though a lower amount of income taxes would have been paid or payable for a period’s earnings. We make these adjustments when calculating Distributable Earnings to more accurately reflect the net realized earnings that are expected to be or become available for distribution or reinvestment into our business. Management believes that Distributable Earnings can be useful as a supplemental performance measure to our GAAP results in assessing the amount of earnings available for distribution.
Margins
GAAP Margin is calculated as income before income taxes, divided by total revenues. FRE Margin is a supplemental non-GAAP measure that equals Fee-Related Earnings before net income allocated to noncontrolling interests, divided by FRE revenues. Management believes that FRE Margin can be useful as a supplemental performance measure used to make operating decisions and assess our core operating results.

Management Fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in management fees was primarily driven by the following:
•Credit decreased $8.2 million, primarily due to a decrease of $16.4 million from direct lending, driven by lower Part I Fees in our BDCs, partially offset by an increase of $11.4 million from alternative credit products, driven by continued fundraising and deployment of capital within new and existing products.
•Real Assets increased $27.3 million, primarily due to an increase from net lease products, driven by continued fundraising and capital deployment, particularly within ORENT.
23
•GP Strategic Capital increased $11.7 million, primarily driven by fundraising in our sixth vintage GP minority stakes product, partially offset by a fee step down in a prior vintage GP minority stakes product that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2025.
FRE Administrative, Transaction and Other Fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in FRE administrative, transaction and other fees of $41.0 million was driven by an increase in fee income primarily from capital markets services, which will vary from quarter to quarter.
Fee offsets. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in fee offsets was driven by digital infrastructure and alternative credit products, as we began paying incentives to certain investors in alternative credit products in the third quarter of 2025, and the prior-year period therefore reflects only partial amortization.

(1)Includes $7.5 million and $9.2 million of catch-up fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Management Fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in management fees was primarily driven by the following:
•Credit increased $67.2 million, primarily due to increases of $36.1 million from direct lending and $32.2 million from alternative credit products, both of which were driven by continued fundraising and deployment of capital within new and existing products.
25
•Real Assets increased $71.1 million, driven by continued fundraising and capital deployment, particularly within ORENT.
•GP Strategic Capital increased $23.9 million, primarily driven by fundraising in our sixth vintage GP minority stakes product, partially offset by a fee step down in a prior vintage GP minority stakes product that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2025.
FRE Administrative, Transaction and Other Fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in FRE administrative, transaction and other fees of $58.1 million was driven by an increase in fee income primarily from capital markets services, which will vary from quarter to quarter.
Fee offsets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in fee offsets was driven by alternative credit and digital infrastructure products, as we began paying incentives to certain investors in alternative credit products in the third quarter of 2025, and the prior-year period therefore reflects only partial amortization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We rely on management fees as the primary source of our operating liquidity. From time to time we may rely on the use of our Revolving Credit Facility between management fee collection dates, which generally occur on a quarterly basis. We may also rely on our Revolving Credit Facility for liquidity needed to fund acquisitions, which we may replace with longer-term financing, subject to market conditions.
We ended the third quarter of 2026 with $213.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $2.1 billion available under our Revolving Credit Facility. In August 2026, we issued, through Finance LLC, $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2036 Notes and used the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. Based on management’s experience and our current level of liquidity and assets under management, we believe that our current liquidity position and cash generated from management fees will continue to be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital needs for at least the next 12 months.
Over the short and long term, we may use cash and cash equivalents, issue additional debt or equity securities, or may seek other sources of liquidity to:
•Grow our existing investment management business;
•Expand into, or acquire, businesses that are complementary to our existing investment management business or other strategic growth initiatives;
•Pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees;
•Repay debt obligations and interest thereon;
•Opportunistically repurchase Class A Shares on the open market, as well as pay withholding taxes on net settled, vested RSUs (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements);
•Pay income taxes and amounts due under the TRA;
•Pay dividends to holders of our Class A Shares, as well as make corresponding distributions to holders of Common Units and Incentive Units at the Blue Owl Operating Group level;
•Pay the KAM Earnouts; and/or
•Fund debt and equity investment commitments to existing or future products.

Debt Obligations
As of September 30, 2026, our long-term debt obligations consisted of $59.8 million aggregate principal amount of 7.397% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”), $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes”), $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.750% Senior Notes due 2036 and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2051 (the “2051 Notes” and, collectively with the 2028 Notes, the 2031 Notes, the 2032 Notes, the 2034 Notes and the 2036 Notes, the “Notes”). We also had $0.433 billion outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2026. 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 extend the maturity date to October 14, 2031. The Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is included as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 15, 2026. As of October 30, 2026, $17.9 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
We expect to use cash on hand to pay interest and principal due on our financing arrangements over time, which would reduce amounts available for dividends and distributions to our stockholders. We may choose to refinance all or a portion of any amounts outstanding on or prior to their respective maturity dates by issuing new debt, which could result in higher borrowing costs. We may also choose to repay borrowings by using proceeds from the issuance of equity or other securities, which would dilute stockholders. See Note 7 to our Financial Statements for additional information regarding our debt obligations.
Tax Receivable Agreement
As discussed in Note 8 to our Financial Statements, we made a payment under the TRA and may in the future be required to make additional payments. As of September 30, 2026, assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law and that we generate sufficient taxable income to realize the full tax benefit of the increased amortization resulting from the increase in tax basis of certain Blue Owl Holdings assets, we expect to pay approximately $1.8 billion under the TRA (such amount excludes the adjustment to fair value for the portion classified as contingent consideration). Future cash savings and related payments under the TRA in respect of subsequent exchanges of Common Units for Class A or B Shares would be in addition to these amounts.
Payments under the TRA are anticipated to increase the tax basis adjustment and, consequently, result in increasing annual amortization deductions in the taxable years of and after such increases to the original basis adjustments, and potentially will give rise to increasing tax savings with respect to such years and correspondingly increasing payments under the TRA.
The obligation to make payments under the TRA is an obligation of Blue Owl GP, and any other corporate taxpaying entities that in the future may hold GP Units (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements) and not of Blue Owl Holdings. We may need to incur debt to finance payments under the TRA to the extent Blue Owl Holdings does not distribute cash to the Registrant or Blue Owl GP in an amount sufficient to meet our obligations under the TRA.
The actual increase in tax basis of the assets of Blue Owl Holdings resulting from an exchange or from payments under the TRA, as well as the amortization thereof and the timing and amount of payments under the TRA, will vary based upon a number of factors, including the following:
•The amount of our taxable income will impact the timing of payments to be made under the TRA. To the extent that we do not have sufficient taxable income in a particular taxable year to utilize the amortization deductions available as a result of the increased tax basis of the assets of Blue Owl Holdings, payments required under the TRA for such taxable year would be reduced (absent a change of control or other circumstances requiring an early termination payment).
•The price of our Class A Shares at the time of any exchange will determine the actual increase in tax basis of the assets of Blue Owl Holdings resulting from such exchange; payments under the TRA resulting from future exchanges, if any, will be dependent in part upon such actual increase in tax basis.
•The composition of the assets of Blue Owl Holdings at the time of any exchange will determine the extent to which we may benefit from amortizing the increased tax basis in such assets and thus will impact the amount and timing of future payments under the TRA resulting from any future exchanges.
•The extent to which future exchanges are taxable will impact the extent to which we will receive an increase in tax basis of the assets of Blue Owl Holdings as a result of such exchanges, and thus will impact the benefit derived by us and the resulting payments, if any, to be made under the TRA.
30
•The tax rates in effect at the time any potential tax savings are realized, which would affect the amount of any future payments under the TRA.
Depending upon the outcome of these and other factors, payments that we may be obligated to make under the TRA in respect of exchanges could be substantial. In light of the numerous factors affecting our obligation to make payments under the TRA, the timing and amounts of any such actual payments are not reasonably ascertainable.
Share Repurchases and RSUs Withheld for Tax Withholding
In February 2025, Blue Owl’s board of directors (the “Board”) authorized the 2025 Program (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements). Under the 2025 Program, up to $150.0 million of Class A Share 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. We repurchased 1,710,117 Class A Shares, for an aggregate amount of $25.0 million, under the 2025 Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. There were no repurchases made under the 2025 Program during the three months ended September 30, 2026. We repurchased 114,228 Class A Shares, for an aggregate amount of $1.7 million, under the 2025 Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. There were no repurchases made under the 2025 Program during the three months ended September 30, 2025. There was $71.3 million available for repurchases under the 2025 Program as of September 30, 2026.
Additionally, pursuant to the terms of our RSU agreements, upon the vesting of RSUs to employees, we may net settle awards to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations. In such instances, we cancel a number of RSUs equivalent in value to the amount of tax withholding payments that we make on behalf of employees out of available cash. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, 917,219 RSUs with a fair value of $11.2 million and 3,520,566 RSUs with a fair value of $43.2 million, respectively, were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, 1,141,914 RSUs with a fair value of $22.4 million and 3,391,683 RSUs with a fair value of $76.2 million, respectively, were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
Earnout Liability
The KAM Earnouts are classified as liabilities in our consolidated statements of financial condition and represent the fair value of the obligation to make future cash payments if the respective triggering events occur. As we approach each triggering event with respect to the KAM Earnouts, we generally would expect the respective liabilities to increase due to the passage of time and meeting certain revenue thresholds, which would result in mark-to-market losses being recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. To the extent we have insufficient cash on hand or that we opt to, we may rely on debt or equity financing to facilitate these transactions in the future. During the second quarter of 2026, we made a payment of $59.9 million related to the 2025 KAM Earnout Period (as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in our Annual Report). For additional information on these earnout liabilities, see Note 3 to our financial statements in our Annual Report.
The Prima Earnouts and Atalaya Earnouts (each as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in our Annual Report) are payable in Class A Shares or Common Units. As we approach each triggering event, we generally would expect the respective liabilities to increase due to the passage of time and the achievement of certain revenue thresholds, which would result in mark-to-market losses being recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
The earnout liability related to the IPI Acquisition, including the IPI Subsequent Payment (as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements in our Annual Report), was settled during the second quarter of 2025. For additional information on these earnout liabilities, see Note 1 and Note 3 to the Financial Statements.
Dividends and Distributions
Starting in 2023, we moved to a fixed quarterly dividend based on our expected annual Distributable Earnings for a given year, which will be reassessed on an annual basis. For the third quarter of 2026, we declared a dividend of $0.23 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10, 2026, which will be paid on November 23, 2026. We set the target annual dividend for fiscal year 2026 at $0.92 per Class A Share (representing a fixed quarterly dividend of $0.23 per Class A Share), subject to the approval of the Board each quarter on or prior to each quarterly distribution date and in compliance with Delaware law, and such dividends are paid following the end of each quarter.
31
When setting our dividend, our Board considers the expected amount of Distributable Earnings, and makes adjustments as necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of our business; to make appropriate investments in our business and products, including funding of GP commitments and potential strategic transactions; to provide for future cash requirements such as TRA and tax-related payments, operating reserves, fixed asset purchases, purchases under the Company’s share repurchase program and dividends to stockholders for any ensuing quarter; or to comply with applicable law and the Company’s contractual obligations. All of the foregoing is subject to the qualification that the declaration and payment of any dividends are at the sole discretion of our Board, and our Board may change our dividend policy at any time, including, without limitation, to reduce or eliminate dividends entirely.
Blue Owl Holdings will make cash distributions (“Tax Distributions”) to its partners, including to Blue Owl GP, if we determine that the taxable income of Blue Owl Holdings will give rise to taxable income for its partners. Generally, Tax Distributions will be computed based on our estimate of the taxable income of Blue Owl Holdings allocable to a partner multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, New York State and New York City income tax rates prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York City (taking into account certain assumptions set forth in the partnership agreement). Tax Distributions will be made only to the extent distributions from Blue Owl Holdings for the relevant year were otherwise insufficient to cover the estimated assumed tax liabilities.
Holders of our Class A and B Shares may not always receive distributions or may receive lower distributions on a per share basis at a time when we, indirectly through Blue Owl GP, and holders of our Common Units are receiving distributions on their interests, as distributions to the Registrant and Blue Owl GP may be used to settle tax and TRA liabilities, if any, and other obligations.
Dividends are expected to be treated as qualified dividends under current law to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, with any excess dividends treated as a return of capital to the extent of a stockholder’s basis, and any remaining excess generally treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of stock.
Risks to our Liquidity
Our ability to obtain financing provides us with additional sources of liquidity. Any new financing arrangement that we may enter into may have covenants that impose additional limitations on us, including with respect to making distributions, entering into business transactions or other matters, and may result in increased interest expense. If we are unable to secure financing on terms that are favorable to us, our business may be adversely impacted. No assurance can be given that we will be able to issue new debt, enter into new credit facilities or issue equity or other securities in the future on attractive terms or at all.
Adverse market conditions, including from unexpectedly high and persistent inflation, an increasing interest rate environment, geopolitical events, and the current instability experienced by some financial institutions, may negatively impact our liquidity. Cash flows from management fees may be impacted by a slowdown or a decline in fundraising and deployment, as well as declines in the value of investments held in certain of our products. We hold the majority of our cash balances with a single highly rated financial institution and such balances are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Macroeconomic Factors” in our Annual Report.

Operating Activities. Our net cash flows from operating activities are generally comprised of management fees, less cash used for operating expenses, including interest paid on our debt obligations. One of our largest operating cash outflows generally relates to year-end bonuses, which are generally paid out during the first quarter of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred (e.g., 2025 year-end bonuses were paid out during the first quarter of 2026).
32
Net cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased from the prior year period due to higher management fees, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
Net cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased from the prior year period due to higher management fees, partially offset by higher operating expenses, in particular higher bonus payments made during the first quarter related to the prior year.
Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were the cash outflows of the portion of the KAM Earnouts classified as contingent consideration in excess of the acquisition-date fair value that was paid in the second quarter of 2026. The amount paid up to the acquisition-date fair value was included in financing activities and the remainder (i.e., accretion since the acquisition date) was included in operating activities.
Investing Activities. Cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were primarily related to investments in our products and cash outflows for office space-related leasehold improvements. In addition, investment activities included inflows from redemptions from a product we manage.
Cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily related to cash consideration paid in connection with the IPI Acquisition, investments in our products and cash outflows for office space-related leasehold improvements. In addition, investment activities included inflows from redemptions from a product we manage.
Financing Activities. Cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were primarily related to distributions on our Common Units (noncontrolling interests), dividends on our Class A Shares, and borrowing and repayment activity under our Revolving Credit Facility, which borrowings were used to finance working capital needs and general corporate purposes. In August 2026, Finance LLC issued the 2036 Notes, the net proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we had amounts paid under the TRA, withholding taxes on vested RSUs, the cash portion of the KAM Earnouts paid in the second quarter of 2026, up to the acquisition-date fair value (as discussed above), and repurchases of our Class A Shares.
Cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily related to borrowing and repayment activity under our Revolving Credit Facility, which borrowings were used, in part, to finance the IPI Acquisition. In addition, we had distributions on our Common Units (noncontrolling interests), dividends on our Class A Shares, as well as withholdings on vested RSUs. Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was the cash portion of the IPI Subsequent Payment that was settled in the second quarter of 2025, which amount represented catch-up fees earned from Blue Owl Digital Infrastructure Fund III that were passed on to the IPI sellers.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. In applying many of these accounting principles, we make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the Financial Statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates, however, are subjective and subject to change, and actual results may differ materially from our current estimates due to the inherent nature of these estimates, including geopolitical, macro-environmental and other uncertainties. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our Financial Statements.
Estimation of Fair Values
Investments Held by our Products
The fair value of the investments held by our products in our Credit and Real Assets platforms is the primary input to the calculation for the majority of our management fees. Management fees from our other Real Assets and GP Strategic Capital products are generally based on commitments or investment cost, so our management fees are generally not impacted by changes in the estimated fair values of investments held by these products. However, to the extent that management fees are calculated based on investment cost of the product’s investments, the amount of fees that we may charge will increase or decrease from the effect of changes in the cost basis of the product’s investments, including potential impairment losses. In the absence of observable market prices, we use valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis and assumptions that we believe market participants would use to determine the fair value of the investments. For investments where little market activity exists, the determination of fair value is based on the best information available, our own assumptions, a significant degree of judgment, and the consideration of a combination of internal and external factors.
33
Our products generally value their investments at fair value, as determined in good faith by each product’s respective board of directors or valuation committee, as applicable, based on, among other things, the input of third party valuation firms and taking into account the nature and realizable value of any collateral, an investee’s ability to make payments and its earnings, the markets in which the investee operates, comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flows, current market interest rates and other relevant factors. Because such valuations are inherently uncertain, the valuations may fluctuate significantly over time due to changes in market conditions. These valuations would, in turn, have corresponding proportionate impacts on the amount of management fees that we may earn from certain products on which revenues are based on the fair value of investments.
TRA Liability
We carry a portion of our TRA liability at fair value, as it is contingent consideration related to the Dyal Acquisition (as defined in Note 1 to the financial statements in our Annual Report). The valuation of this portion of the TRA liability is mostly sensitive to our expectation of future cash savings that we may ultimately realize related to our tax goodwill and other intangible assets deductions. We then apply a discount rate that we believe is appropriate given the nature of and expected timing of payments of the liability. A decrease in the discount rate assumption would result in an increase in the fair value estimate of the liability, which would have a corresponding negative impact on our GAAP results of operations. However, payments under the TRA are ultimately only made to the extent we realize the offsetting cash savings on our income taxes due to the tax goodwill and other intangibles deduction. See Note 4 to our Financial Statements for additional details.
Earnout Liability
The fair value of our earnout liability was determined using various significant unobservable inputs, including a discount rate and our best estimate of expected revenues, volatility and holding periods. Changes in the estimated fair value of this liability may have a material impact on our results of operations in any given period, as any increase in this liability has a corresponding negative impact on our GAAP results of operations. See Note 4 to our Financial Statements for additional details.
Preferred Equity Investment
We have elected the fair value option on our preferred equity investment. The valuation of the preferred equity investment considers our best estimate of future cash flow, including timing of repayment, which is discounted considering the risk-free rate and credit assumptions related to the underlying issuer. A decrease in the expected cash flows or increase in the discount rate assumptions would result in a decrease in the fair value of the preferred equity investment, which would have a corresponding negative impact on our GAAP results of operations. These assumptions require a significant amount of judgment and could have a material impact on the valuation. See Note 4 to our Financial Statements for additional details.
Equity-based Compensation
The grant-date fair values of our RSU and Incentive Unit grants, as well as the compensation-classified earnouts, are generally determined using our Class A Share price on the grant date, adjusted for the lack of dividend participation during the vesting period, and the application of a discount for lack of marketability for grants subject to post-vesting transfer restrictions. The higher these discounts, the lower the compensation expense taken over time for these grants.
Deferred Tax Assets
Substantially all of our deferred tax assets relate to goodwill and other intangible assets deductible for tax purposes, as well as payments expected to be made under the TRA. In accordance with relevant tax rules, we expect to take substantially all of these goodwill and other intangible deductions over a 15-year period following the applicable transaction. To the extent we generate insufficient taxable income to take the full deduction in any given year, we will generate a net operating loss (“NOL”) that is available for us to use over an indefinite carryforward period in order to fully realize the deferred tax assets.
When evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, all evidence—both positive and negative—is considered. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, expectations regarding future earnings, future reversals of existing temporary tax differences and tax planning strategies. We did not take into account any tax planning strategies when arriving at this conclusion; however, the other assumptions underlying the taxable income estimates are based on our near-term operating model. If we experience a significant decline in AUM for any extended time during the period for which these estimates relate and we do not otherwise experience offsetting growth rates in other periods, we may not generate taxable income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets and may need to record a valuation allowance. However, given the indefinite carryforward period available for NOLs and the conservative estimates used to prepare the taxable income projections, the sensitivity of our estimates and assumptions is not likely to have a material impact on our conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.
34
Acquisitions
Purchase Price Allocation
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, under which the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess consideration allocated to goodwill, using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date.
Management’s determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date is based on the best information available and may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involve significant judgment. We use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Assumptions in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash inflows and outflows, future fundraising and timing of new product launches, discount rates, revenue volatility and income tax rates. Our estimates for future cash flows are based on historical data, internal estimates and external sources, and are based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates we use to manage the underlying assets acquired. We estimate the useful lives of intangible assets based on the expected period over which we anticipate generating substantially all of the economic benefit from the asset. We base our estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
Impairment Testing of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Our ongoing accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions when evaluating these assets for impairment. We generally undertake a qualitative review of factors that may indicate whether an impairment exists. We take into account factors such as projections for FPAUM, revenue and general economic conditions that require judgment in deciding whether a quantitative analysis should be undertaken. Our evaluation for indicators of impairment may not capture a potential impairment, which could result in an overstatement of the carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets. Our single reporting unit is not at risk of failing the quantitative impairment test. We also estimate the useful lives of our finite-lived intangible assets for purposes of amortization. The useful lives are based on our judgment of the expected future economic benefits of the assets. Changes in estimated useful lives could result in significant changes to the amount of amortization expense recognized in future periods.
Consolidation
We consolidate entities based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. The determination of whether an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and if the entity should be consolidated under GAAP requires a significant amount of judgment concerning the degree of control over an entity by its holders of variable interests. To make these judgments, we conduct an analysis, on a case-by-case basis, of whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate an entity. We continually reconsider whether we should consolidate a VIE. Upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change in investment amount and modifications to organizational documents and investment management agreements of our products, we will reconsider our conclusion regarding the status of an entity as a VIE. Our judgment when analyzing the status of an entity and whether we consolidate an entity could have a material impact on individual line items within our Financial Statements, as a change in our conclusion would have the effect of grossing up the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the entity being evaluated. In light of the relatively insignificant direct and indirect investments into our products, the likelihood of a reasonable change in our estimation and judgment would likely not result in a change in our conclusions to consolidate or not consolidate any VIEs to which we have exposure.
Impact of Changes in Accounting on Recent and Future Trends
We believe that none of the changes to GAAP that went into effect during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, or that have been issued but that we have not yet adopted, are expected to materially impact our future trends.
35
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our primary exposure to market risk is the indirect impact that movements in the fair value of investments in products has on our management fees. In our Credit products, our management fees are generally based on the fair value of the gross assets held by such products, and therefore changes in the fair value of those assets impact the management fees we earn in any given period. These management fees will be increased (or reduced) in direct proportion to the effect of changes in the market value of our investments in the related funds. The proportion of our management fees that are based on fair value is dependent on the number and types of investment funds in existence and the current stage of each fund’s life cycle. Management fees from our Real Assets and GP Strategic Capital products, however, are generally based on capital commitments or investment cost, and therefore management fees are not materially impacted by changes in fair values of the underlying investments held by those products. To the extent that management fees are calculated based on investment cost of the product’s investments, the amount of fees that we may charge will increase or decrease from the effect of changes in the cost basis of the product’s investments, including potential impairment losses. There were no material changes in our market risks as of September 30, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025. For additional information, refer to our Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2026. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2026, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report. 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 have a material effect on our financial results in any particular period. See Note 8 to our Financial Statements for additional information.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Some factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those results in this report are described as risks in our Annual Report. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report. We may, however, disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

September 30, 2026
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:
| Units | September 30, 2026 | |||||||
| GP Units | ||||||||
| Common Units | ||||||||
| Incentive Units | ||||||||
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 a one

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.

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.

2. 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.
| Standard | Description | Effective Date and Method of Adoption | Impact on Financial Statements | ||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||

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.

September 30, 2026
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.
Earnout Liability
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.
5. LEASES
The Company primarily has non-cancelable operating leases for its headquarters in New York and various other offices. The operating lease for the Company’s headquarters does not include any renewal options; however, certain of the Company’s other leases contain renewal and early termination options that the Company has determined are not reasonably certain of being exercised.

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.
8. 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.

September 30, 2026
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.

September 30, 2026
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.

10. 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 a three-year to five-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 a one

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 in two 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.
11. 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.

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.

(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).
