Positive

  • Distributable Earnings growth: DE rose 25% year-over-year to $1.76 billion ($1.36 per share), with LTM DE up 22% to $7.46 billion, indicating materially higher cash-generating capacity.
  • FRE and AUM expansion: Fee Related Earnings grew 23% to $1.55 billion, while total AUM reached $1.30 trillion and fee-earning AUM $937.6 billion, strengthening the recurring fee base.

Negative

  • Credit & Insurance segment pressure: Credit & Insurance segment Distributable Earnings fell 26% year-over-year to $373.1 million, and segment revenues declined 11%, showing weaker quarterly contribution from this business line despite higher AUM.

Insights

Blackstone delivered broad-based growth in earnings, AUM and capital flows in Q1 2026.

Blackstone showed solid operating momentum. Total revenues increased to $3.62 billion, while net income attributable to Blackstone Inc. rose to $649.7 million. Fee Related Earnings reached $1.55 billion, up 23% year‑over‑year, indicating stronger recurring fee profitability.

Distributable Earnings grew 25% year‑over‑year to $1.76 billion, helped by higher realized performance revenues and net realizations. Over the last twelve months, Distributable Earnings totaled $7.46 billion and Net Accrued Performance Revenues increased to $7.0 billion, expanding the pool of future realizable carry.

Total AUM reached $1.30 trillion, with fee‑earning AUM of $937.6 billion. Quarterly inflows of $68.5 billion and realizations of $35.9 billion demonstrate active fundraising and exit activity. The declared dividend of $1.16 per share and $1.5 billion of total capital returned for the quarter show substantial cash generation supporting shareholder distributions.

Growth was strong overall, though Credit & Insurance segment earnings softened in the quarter.

The Credit & Insurance segment saw Fee Related Earnings dip 4% year‑over‑year to $331.8 million and segment Distributable Earnings decline 26% to $373.1 million, reflecting lower realized performance revenues versus the prior‑year quarter.

Despite this quarterly softness, Credit & Insurance AUM increased 18% year‑over‑year to $457.5 billion, with fee‑earning AUM up 14% to $313.3 billion. This suggests a larger earning base over time even as near‑term realization patterns vary across strategies and vintages.

Distributable Earnings financial
"Distributable Earnings (“DE”) of $1.8 billion ($1.36/share) in the quarter"
Distributable earnings are the portion of a company’s reported profits that management determines is safe to pay out to shareholders after accounting for cash needs, required reserves, and non-cash bookkeeping items. Think of it like the money left in your household budget after paying bills and putting aside savings — it shows what can realistically be handed out as dividends or distributions and helps investors judge how sustainable and reliable future payouts may be.

perpetual capital AUM financial
"Perpetual Capital AUM of $539.7 billion"
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA reached $2,130,470 in Q1’26"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This presentation may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

  (c)

Multiple of Invested Capital (“MOIC”) represents carrying value, before management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues, divided by invested capital.

 

 

  (d)

Unless otherwise indicated, Net Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) represents the annualized inception to March 31, 2026 IRR on total invested capital based on realized proceeds and unrealized
value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues. IRRs are calculated using actual timing of limited partner cash flows. Initial inception date of cash flows
may differ from the Investment Period Beginning Date.

 

 

  (e)

The 12% Realized Net IRR and 12% Total Net IRR exclude investors that opted out of the Hilton investment opportunity. Overall BREP International I-II performance reflects a 10% Realized Net

  (i)

Strategic Partners’ Unrealized Investment Value, Realized Investment Value, Total Investment Value, Total MOIC and Total Net IRRs are reported on a three-month lag and therefore do not
include the impact of economic and market activities in the current quarter. Realizations are treated as returns of capital until fully recovered and therefore Unrealized and Realized MOICs
and Realized Net IRRs are not applicable. Committed Capital and Available Capital are presented as of the current quarter.

 

 

  (j)

European Senior Debt II IRR represents the blended return across the commingled levered and unlevered funds within the strategy. The total net returns were 12% and 7%, respectively, for

  (p)

The BREIT Total Net Return reflects a per share blended return, assuming BREIT had a single share class, reinvestment of all dividends received during the period, and no upfront selling

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES – NOTES

 

Note:  See pages 36-38, Definitions and Dividend Policy.

 

(a)

This adjustment removes Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, Blackstone’s initial public offering, and non-recurring gains, losses, or other charges, if any. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs, gains or losses associated with these corporate actions, and non-recurring gains, losses or other charges that affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of Blackstone’s operational performance.

(b)

This adjustment removes the amortization of transaction-related intangibles, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation.

(c)

This adjustment reverses the effect of consolidating Blackstone Funds, which are excluded from Blackstone’s segment presentation. This adjustment includes the elimination of Blackstone’s interest in these funds and the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated operating partnerships held by non-controlling interests.

(d)

This adjustment removes Unrealized Performance Revenues on a segment basis. The Segment Adjustment represents the add back of performance revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES – NOTES (CONT’D)

 

 

(j)

Taxes represent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and adjusted for impacts of divestitures and tax contingencies. For interim periods, taxes are calculated using the preferred annualized effective tax rate approach. Related Payables represent tax-related payables including the amount payable to holders of the Tax Receivable Agreements based on expected tax savings generated in the current period. Please refer to page 36 for the full definition of Taxes and Related Payables.

This analysis reconciles the components of Total Segment Distributable Earnings (page 3) to their equivalent GAAP measures, reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations (page 26). Segment basis presents revenues and expenses on a basis that deconsolidates the investment funds Blackstone manages and excludes the amortization of intangibles, the expense of equity-based awards and Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items.

(a)

Represents (1) the add back of net management fees earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of amounts attributable to the reimbursement of certain expenses by the Blackstone Funds and certain NAV-based fee arrangements, which are presented on a gross basis under GAAP but as a reduction of Management and Advisory Fees, Net in the Total Segment measures.

(b)

Represents the add back of Performance Revenues earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c)

Represents the removal of Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items that are not recorded in the Total Segment measures.

(d)

Represents the (1) removal of Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items that are not recorded in the Total Segment measures, (2) removal of amounts attributable to certain expenses that are reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds and certain NAV-based fee arrangements, which are presented on a gross basis under GAAP but as a reduction of Management and Advisory Fees, Net in the Total Segment measures, and (3) a reduction equal to an administrative fee collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units which is accounted for as a capital contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in Blackstone’s segment presentation.

(e)

Fee related performance compensation may include equity based compensation based on fee related performance revenues.

(f)

Represents (1) the add back of Principal Investment Income, including general partner income, earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of amounts associated with the ownership of Blackstone consolidated operating partnerships held by non- controlling interests.

(g)

Represents (1) the add back of Interest and Dividend Revenue earned from consolidated Blackstone Funds which have been eliminated in consolidation, and (2) the removal of interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.

NOTES

 

Notes to page 4 - Investment Performance and Net Accrued Performance Revenues

 

§   The changes in carrying value, fund returns and composite returns presented throughout this presentation represent those of the applicable Blackstone Funds and not those of Blackstone.

 

§   Core+ appreciation represents a weighted average of BREIT’s per share appreciation, BEPIF’s per share appreciation, and BPP’s appreciation for the period. The returns are weighted based on the average of BREIT’s monthly net asset values, BEPIF’s monthly net asset values, and the average of BPP’s net asset value.

 

§   Throughout this presentation, Secondaries reflects Strategic Partners and GP Stakes unless otherwise indicated. Results for the Secondaries business refer to the appreciation of the Strategic Partners funds and do not include results for GP Stakes. Strategic Partners results are reported on a three-month lag from fund financial statements, which generally report underlying investments on a same-quarter basis, if available. As a result, the appreciation presented herein does not include the impact of economic and market activity in the current quarter. Current market activity is expected to affect reported results in upcoming quarters.

 

§   Throughout this presentation, Infrastructure refers to our infrastructure-focused funds, including Blackstone Infrastructure Partners’ funds (“BIP”) and Blackstone Infrastructure Strategies (“BXINFRA”). AUM, inflows, and related metrics for Infrastructure refer to BIP and the portion of BXINFRA assets that are managed in Infrastructure. Infrastructure appreciation represents a weighted average of BIP’s appreciation and BXINFRA’s per share appreciation for the period. The returns are weighted based on the average of BIP’s quarterly net asset value and the average of BXINFRA’s monthly net asset values.

 

§   Private Credit returns include the Flagship commingled funds across the opportunistic lending, global middle market direct lending funds (including BXSL, BCRED, and ECRED strategies), stressed/distressed strategies, and non-investment grade infrastructure and asset-based credit strategies. Separately managed accounts, funds with a limited number of limited partners that are not broadly marketed, inactive investment strategies, unlevered funds within a strategy that has designated levered and unlevered sleeves, and Multi-Asset Credit strategies are excluded. Liquid Credit returns include CLOs, closed-ended funds, open-ended funds and separately managed accounts. Only fee-earning funds exceeding $100 million of fair value at the beginning of each respective quarter-end are included. Funds in liquidation, funds investing primarily in investment grade corporate credit and asset-based finance are excluded. Blackstone Funds that were contributed to Blackstone Credit as part of Blackstone’s acquisition of Blackstone Credit, formerly known as GSO, in March 2008 and the pre-acquisition date performance for funds and vehicles acquired by Blackstone Credit subsequent to March 2008, are also excluded.

 

§   The Absolute Return Composite gross and net returns are based on the Multi-Asset Investing (“BXMA”) Absolute Return Composite, which includes only BXMA-managed commingled and customized multi-manager funds and accounts and does not include BXMA’s liquid solutions group, seeding, multi-strategy, and advisory (non-discretionary) platforms, except for investments by Absolute Return funds directly into those platforms. BXMA-managed funds in liquidation and, in the case of net returns, non fee-paying assets are also excluded. The funds/accounts that comprise the Absolute Return Composite are not managed within a single fund or account and are managed with different mandates. There is no guarantee that BXMA would have made the same mix of investments in a stand-alone fund/account. The Absolute Return Composite is not an investible product and, as such, the performance of the Absolute Return Composite does not represent the performance of an actual fund or account.

Notes to page 17 – Deconsolidated Balance Sheet Highlights

 

§   GP/Fund Investments include Blackstone investments in Real Estate, Private Equity, Credit & Insurance, and Multi-Asset Investing, which were $754 million, $1.7 billion, $372 million, and $125 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026. Cash and Net Investments per share amounts are calculated using period end DE Shares Outstanding (see page 24, Share Summary).

NOTES – (CONT’D)

 

Notes to page 23 – Shareholder Dividends

 

§   DE before Certain Payables represents Distributable Earnings before the deduction for the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and tax expense (benefit) of wholly owned subsidiaries. Common shareholders receive tax benefits from deductions taken by Blackstone’s corporate tax paying subsidiaries and bear responsibility for the deduction from Distributable Earnings of the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement and certain other tax-related payables.

 

§   Per Share calculations are based on end of period Participating Common Shares (page 24, Share Summary); actual dividends are paid to shareholders as of the applicable record date.

 

§   Retained capital is withheld pro rata from common shareholders and Blackstone Holdings Partnership unitholders. Common shareholders’ share was $157 million for 1Q’26 and $682 million for 1Q’26 LTM.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY

 

Blackstone discloses the following operating metrics and financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“non-GAAP”) in this presentation:

 

§   Segment Distributable Earnings, or “Segment DE”, is Blackstone’s segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and assess performance across Blackstone’s four segments. Segment DE represents the net realized earnings of Blackstone’s segments and is the sum of Fee Related Earnings and Net Realizations for each segment. Blackstone’s segments are presented on a basis that deconsolidates Blackstone Funds, eliminates non-controlling ownership interests in Blackstone’s consolidated operating partnerships, removes the amortization of intangible assets and removes Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items. Segment DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

 

    Net Realizations is presented on a segment basis and is the sum of Realized Principal Investment Income and Realized Performance Revenues (which refers to Realized Performance Revenues excluding Fee Related Performance Revenues), less Realized Performance Compensation (which refers to Realized Performance Compensation excluding Fee Related Performance Compensation and Equity-Based Performance Compensation).

 

    Segment Revenues represent Net Management and Advisory Fees, Fee Related Performance Revenues, Realized Performance Revenues and Realized Principal Investment Income.

 

§   Distributable Earnings, or “DE”, is derived from Blackstone’s segment reported results. DE is used to assess performance and amounts available for dividends to Blackstone shareholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the Blackstone Holdings Partnerships. DE is the sum of Segment DE plus Net Interest and Dividend Income (Loss) less Taxes and Related Payables. DE excludes unrealized activity and is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

 

    Net Interest and Dividend Income (Loss) is presented on a segment basis and is equal to Interest and Dividend Revenue less Interest Expense, adjusted for the impact of consolidation of Blackstone Funds, and interest expense associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement.

 

    Taxes and Related Payables represent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and including the Payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Further, the current tax provision utilized when calculating Taxes and Related Payables and DE reflects the benefit of deductions available to the company on certain expense items that are excluded from the underlying calculation of Segment DE and Total Segment Distributable Earnings, such as equity-based compensation charges and certain Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items where there is a current tax provision or benefit. The economic assumptions and methodologies that impact the implied income tax provision are the same as those methodologies and assumptions used in calculating the current income tax provision for Blackstone’s consolidated statements of operations under U.S. GAAP, excluding the impact of divestitures and accrued tax contingency related liabilities or refunds which are reflected when paid or received. The Payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement reflects the expected amount of tax savings generated in the period that holders of the Tax Receivable Agreements are entitled to receive in future periods. Management believes that including the amount payable under the tax receivable agreement and utilizing the current income tax provision adjusted as described above when calculating DE is meaningful as it increases comparability between periods and more accurately reflects earnings that are available for distribution to shareholders.

 

§   Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”, is a performance measure used to assess Blackstone’s ability to generate profits from revenues that are measured and received on a recurring basis and not subject to future realization events. FRE equals management and advisory fees (net of management fee reductions and offsets) plus Fee Related Performance Revenues, less (a) Fee Related Compensation on a segment basis, and (b) Other Operating Expenses. FRE is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

DEFINITIONS AND DIVIDEND POLICY – (CONT’D)

 

 

    Fee Related Compensation is presented on a segment basis and refers to the compensation expense, excluding Equity-Based Compensation, directly related to (a) Management and Advisory Fees, Net and (b) Fee Related Performance Revenues, referred to as Fee Related Performance Compensation.

 

    Fee Related Performance Revenues refers to the realized portion of Performance Revenues from Perpetual Capital that are (a) measured and received on a recurring basis, and (b) not dependent on realization events from the underlying investments.

 

    Other Operating Expenses is presented on a segment basis and is equal to General, Administrative and Other Expenses, adjusted to (a) remove the Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items that are not recorded in the Total Segment measures, (b) remove certain expenses reimbursed by the Blackstone Funds which are netted against Management and Advisory Fees, Net in Blackstone’s segment presentation, and (c) give effect to an administrative fee collected on a quarterly basis from certain holders of Blackstone Holdings Partnership Units. The administrative fee is accounted for as a capital contribution under GAAP, but is reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in Blackstone’s segment presentation.

 

    Perpetual Capital refers to the component of assets under management with an indefinite term, that is not in liquidation, and for which there is no requirement to return capital to investors through redemption requests in the ordinary course of business, except where funded by new capital inflows or where required redemption requests are limited in quantum. Includes co-investment capital with an investor right to convert into Perpetual Capital.

 

    FRE Margin is calculated by dividing Fee Related Earnings by Fee Related Revenues (defined as the sum of Total Segment Management and Advisory Fees, Net and Fee Related Performance Revenues).

 

§   Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or “Adjusted EBITDA”, is a supplemental measure used to assess performance derived from Blackstone’s segment results and may be used to assess its ability to service its borrowings. Adjusted EBITDA represents Distributable Earnings plus the addition of (a) Interest Expense on a segment basis, (b) Taxes and Related Payables, and (c) Depreciation and Amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is derived from and reconciled to, but not equivalent to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes.

 

§   Performance Revenues collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fees, and (b) Performance Allocations.

 

§   Performance Compensation collectively refers to: (a) Incentive Fee Compensation, and (b) Performance Allocations Compensation.

 

    Performance Compensation reflects, pursuant to an ongoing compensation program, an increase in the aggregate Realized Performance Compensation paid to certain of our professionals above the amounts allocable to them based upon the percentage participation in the relevant performance plans previously awarded to them. The expectation is that for the full year 2026, Fee Related Compensation will be decreased by the total amount of additional Performance Compensation awarded for the year. For 1Q’26 QTD and 1Q’26 LTM, the increase to Realized Performance Compensation was greater than the decrease to Fee Related Compensation, which negatively impacted Distributable Earnings for the current year quarter and LTM period. For 1Q’25 QTD, the increase to Realized Performance Compensation was greater than the decrease to Fee Related Compensation, which negatively impacted Distributable Earnings for the prior year quarter. For 1Q’25 LTM, the increase to Realized Performance Compensation was less than the decrease to Fee Related Compensation, which favorably impacted Distributable Earnings for the prior year LTM period. The impact of this program in an individual quarter is based on the estimated amount of Realized Performance Compensation expected to be paid to such professionals for the full year. The program does not impact Income Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and Distributable Earnings for the full year.

§   Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items arise from corporate actions including acquisitions, divestitures, Blackstone’s initial public offering, and non-recurring gains, losses, or other charges, if any. They consist primarily of equity-based compensation charges, gains and losses on contingent consideration arrangements, changes in the balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from a change in tax law or similar event, transaction costs, gains or losses associated with these corporate actions, and non-recurring gains, losses or other charges that affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of Blackstone’s operational performance.

 

§   Private Wealth AUM refers to the portion of assets under management attributable to the individual investor channel and comprises (a) all AUM in vehicles that are primarily targeted to the individual investor channel and (b) AUM attributable only to individual investors (including through private wealth distribution agreements) in vehicles that are not primarily targeted to the individual investor channel.

Dividend Policy. Blackstone’s intention is to pay to holders of common stock a quarterly dividend representing approximately 85% of Blackstone Inc.’s share of Distributable Earnings, subject to adjustment by amounts determined by Blackstone’s board of directors to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and funds, to comply with applicable law, any of its debt instruments or other agreements, or to provide for future cash requirements such as tax-related payments, clawback obligations and dividends to shareholders for any ensuing quarter. The dividend amount could also be adjusted upward in any one quarter. All of the foregoing is subject to the qualification that the declaration and payment of any dividends are at the sole discretion of Blackstone’s board of directors and our board of directors may change our dividend policy at any time, including, without limitation, to reduce such quarterly dividends or even to eliminate such dividends entirely.
