Definitions (Cont'd)
Fee-Related Earnings ("FRE") is a supplemental performance measure and is used to evaluate our business and make resource deployment and other operational decisions. FRE differs
from net income computed in accordance with GAAP in that it adjusts for the items included in the calculation of DE and also adjusts to exclude (i) realized performance allocations and
related compensation expense, (ii) realized investment income from investments and financial instruments, (iii) net interest (interest expense less interest income), (iv) depreciation,
(v) amortization and (vi) certain non-recurring income and expenses. We use FRE to measure the ability of our business to cover compensation and operating expenses from fee revenues
other than capital allocation-based income. The use of FRE without consideration of the related GAAP measures is not adequate due to the adjustments described herein.
Fee-related revenues ("FRR") is comprised of (i) management fees, (ii) transaction, monitoring and other fees, net, and (iii) other income. Fee-related revenue differs from revenue computed
in accordance with GAAP in that it excludes certain reimbursement expense arrangements. Refer to "-Reconciliation to GAAP Measures" to the comparable line items on the combined
statements of operations.
Fee-related expenses differs from expenses computed in accordance with GAAP in that it is net of certain reimbursement arrangements. Fee-related expenses is used in management's
review of the business.
Fee earning AUM or "FAUM" represents only the AUM from which we are entitled to receive management fees. FAUM is the sum of all the individual fee bases that are used to calculate our
management fees and differs from AUM in the following respects: (i) assets and commitments from which we are not entitled to receive a management fee are excluded (e.g., assets and
commitments with respect to which we are entitled to receive only performance allocations or are otherwise not currently entitled to receive a management fee) and (ii) certain assets, primarily
in our private equity funds, are reflected based on capital commitments and invested capital as opposed to fair value because fees are generally not impacted by changes in the fair value of
underlying investments. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into the capital base upon which we earn management fees. Our definition of FAUM is
not based on any definition of AUM or FAUM that is set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds and products that we manage.
Net accrued performance allocations represents both unrealized and undistributed performance allocations resulting from our general partner interests in our TPG funds. We believe this
measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into the accrued performance allocations to which the TPG Operating Group Common Unit holders are expected to receive.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures represent 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. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. We use these measures to assess the core operating performance of our business.
Realizations represent the aggregate investment proceeds generated by our TPG investment funds and co-investment vehicles and Public SPACs in conjunction with the completion of a
business combination. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it drives investment gains and performance allocations.
Value creation, with respect to an investment or group of investments, represents the appreciation or depreciation of value during a given measurement period, with the numerator being the
total change in value reduced by capital invested during the measurement period, and the denominator being the sum of (i) the unrealized value at the beginning of the measurement period
plus (ii) capital invested in follow-on investments made during the measurement period plus (iii) capital invested in new investments made during the measurement period if the new
investment had a change in value.
