Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC Reports

2015 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

NEW YORK, February 11, 2016 – Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC (NYSE: OZM) (the “Company” or “Och-Ziff”) today reported GAAP net loss allocated to Class A Shareholders⁽“GAAP Net Loss”) of $22.3 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted Class A Share, for the 2015 fourth quarter and GAAP Net Income of $25.7 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted Class A Share, for the 2015 full year.

Summary


•	Distributable Earnings of $251.9 million, or $0.49 per Adjusted Class A Share, for the 2015 full year. This amount reflects a loss of $36.1 million, or $0.07 per Adjusted Class A Share, for the 2015 fourth quarter.


•	No cash dividend declared for the Company’s Class A Shares for the 2015 fourth quarter.


•	Assets under management totaled $45.5 billion as of December 31, 2015.


◦	Longer-dated assets under management, which are those subject to initial commitment periods of three years or longer, were $16.8 billion, or 37% of the Company’s total assets under management as of December 31, 2015, increasing 11% year-over-year.


◦	Assets under management in the Company’s dedicated credit, real estate and other single-strategy funds were $16.0 billion, comprising 35% of assets under management as of December 31, 2015, increasing 19% year-over-year.


◦	Estimated assets under management totaled $43.7 billion as of February 1, 2016.

“The 2015 fourth quarter capped off a difficult year for equity and credit markets globally, and 2016 has gotten off to a challenging start,” said Dan Och, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Och-Ziff. “However, this type of environment plays to our strengths and we are well positioned to manage such uncertainty. Dynamic capital allocation has always been a cornerstone of much of our business, and it will be critical in this environment.

“As we look ahead to what will likely be a volatile year, we see considerable opportunity for experienced managers with sufficient capital and deep investment expertise. In challenging markets, investors turn to Och-Ziff for a number of reasons: our risk management, our reputation for capital preservation, and our ability to produce results towards the end of a downturn. They seek asset managers who can offer exactly what we have: a long track record of excellent performance, a diverse array of products, a strong, global franchise and a robust infrastructure. It is this combined offering that enables us to take advantage of opportunities across markets, and I believe this agility will be crucial in 2016.”

GAAP NET INCOME (LOSS) ALLOCATED TO CLASS A SHAREHOLDERS

For the 2015 fourth quarter, Och-Ziff reported a GAAP Net Loss of $22.3 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted Class A Share, compared to GAAP net income allocated to class A Shareholders (“GAAP Net Income”) of $84.7 million, or $0.49 per basic and $0.47 per diluted Class A Share, for the 2014 fourth quarter. For the 2015 full year, Och-Ziff reported GAAP Net Income of $25.7 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted Class A Share, compared to $142.4 million, or $0.82 per basic and $0.80 per diluted Class A Share, for the 2014 full year.

The year-over-year decrease for both the Company’s fourth quarter and full year GAAP results was primarily driven by lower incentive income and higher non-compensation expenses, partially offset by lower bonus expense.

Throughout this press release, the Company presents financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a discussion of these non-GAAP measures, please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS (NON-GAAP)

The Company reported a loss on a Distributable Earnings basis for the 2015 fourth quarter of $36.1 million, or $0.07 per Adjusted Class A Share, compared to a profit of $255.4 million, or $0.50 per Adjusted Class A Share, for the 2014 fourth quarter. Distributable Earnings for the 2015 full year were $251.9 million, or $0.49 per Adjusted Class A Share, 57% lower than $590.3 million, or $1.16 per Adjusted Class A Share, for the 2014 full year.

The year-over-year decrease in Distributable Earnings for both the 2015 fourth quarter and full year was primarily due to lower incentive income and higher non-compensation expenses, partially offset by lower cash bonus expense and lower Adjusted Income Taxes. Please see the “Economic Income (Non-GAAP)” section of this press release for a discussion of the drivers affecting the Company’s Economic Income.

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure. For reconciliations of Distributable Earnings to the respective GAAP Net Income for the periods discussed above, please see Exhibits 2 and 3 that accompany this press release. Additionally, please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release, including the definitions of Distributable Earnings, Adjusted Income Taxes and Adjusted Class A Shares.

Totals may not sum due to rounding. Please see Exhibit 6 for detailed information.

As of December 31, 2015, assets under management totaled $45.5 billion, a decrease of $2.0 billion, or 4%, from December 31, 2014, which was driven by capital net outflows of $1.2 billion and $907.9 million of distributions to investors and other reductions in the Company's closed-end opportunistic credit and real estate funds. These amounts were partially offset by performance-related appreciation of $44.8 million. During the month of December, the Company had approximately $1.0 billion of intra-month capital net inflows, which are included in the $45.5 billion of assets under management as of December 31, 2015.

Assets under management decreased to an estimated $43.7 billion as of February 1, 2016. This decrease reflected estimated performance-related depreciation of approximately $628.8 million in January and capital net outflows of approximately $1.2 billion, which was comprised of approximately $936.4 million of capital net outflows on January 1, 2016 and approximately $244.2 million of capital net outflows from January 2, 2016 to February 1, 2016.

Please see detailed assets under management and fund information on Exhibits 6 through 8 that accompany this press release.

Multi-strategy funds

Assets under management in the Company’s multi-strategy funds totaled $29.5 billion as of December 31, 2015, decreasing 13%, or $4.6 billion, year-over-year. This change was driven by net capital outflows of $4.7 billion, primarily in the OZ Master Fund, partially offset by performance-related appreciation of $129.1 million.

For the 2015 full year, the OZ Master Fund, the Company's largest multi-strategy fund, generated a gross return of 1.6% and a net return of -0.4%. On a gross basis, U.S. merger arbitrage and long/short equity special situations in Asia were the largest contributors to the return. The Company’s credit strategies globally made a slightly positive contribution. Weak performance in U.S. long/short equity special situations partially offset these returns.

The OZ Asia and OZ Europe Master Funds, the company's region-specific multi-strategy funds, both had strong performance in 2015. They generated 2015 full-year gross returns of 13.8% and 8.9%, respectively, and net returns of 9.6% and 5.8%, respectively.

Credit

Assets under management in the Company’s dedicated credit products totaled $12.6 billion as of December 31, 2015, increasing $2.4 billion, or 23%, year-over-year. This change was driven by capital net inflows of $3.2 billion, partially offset by $727.2 million of distributions and other reductions in the Company's closed-end opportunistic credit funds and $111.3 million of performance-related depreciation.

Opportunistic credit

The Company’s opportunistic credit funds seek to generate risk-adjusted returns by capturing value in mispriced investments across disrupted, dislocated and distressed corporate, structured and private credit markets globally.

Assets under management in the Company’s opportunistic credit funds totaled $5.4 billion as of December 31, 2015, increasing 6% year-over-year. This increase was primarily due to $1.1 billion of capital net inflows primarily into the Customized Credit Focused Platform and OZ Credit Opportunities Master Fund, the Company’s global opportunistic credit fund, partially offset by $727.2 million of distributions and other reductions related to the Company’s closed-end opportunistic credit funds. Also offsetting the increase was $108.9 million of performance-related depreciation, driven by negative investment performance across the Company's open-end opportunistic credit funds.

For the 2015 full year, the OZ Credit Opportunities Fund generated a gross return of -4.4% and a net return of -5.2%. On a gross basis, modestly positive performance in the fund’s European credit portfolio was offset by weaker performance in its U.S. portfolio.

Institutional Credit Strategies

Institutional Credit Strategies (“ICS”) is the Company’s asset management platform that invests in performing credits, including leveraged loans, high-yield bonds, private credit/bespoke financing and investment grade credit via CLOs and other customized solutions for clients.

Assets under management in ICS totaled $7.2 billion as of December 31, 2015, increasing $2.1 billion, or 40%, year-over-year. The increase was primarily driven by four CLOs that closed in the year-over-year period. ICS managed 13 CLOs as of December 31, 2015.

Real estate funds

Assets under management in the Company’s real estate funds totaled $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2015, increasing $26.2 million, or 1%, year-over-year. The increase was driven by Och-Ziff Real Estate Credit Fund I and Och-Ziff Real Estate Fund III, partially offset by distributions and other reductions from Och-Ziff Real Estate Funds I and II. Since inception, the net IRR for Och-Ziff Real Estate Fund II (for which the investment period ended in 2014) was 22.6% through December 31, 2015. Since inception, the net IRR for Och-Ziff Real Estate Fund I (for which the investment period ended in 2010) was 15.6% through December 31, 2015.

ECONOMIC INCOME (NON-GAAP)

In addition to analyzing the Company’s results on a GAAP basis, management also reviews the Company’s results on an “Economic Income” basis. Economic Income excludes certain adjustments that are required for

presentation of the Company’s results on a GAAP basis, but that management does not consider when evaluating operating performance in any given period.

For reconciliations of Economic Income and its components to the respective GAAP measures, please see Exhibits 2 through 5 that accompany this press release. Additionally, please see the discussion of “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

Economic Income Revenues (Non-GAAP)

Economic Income revenues for the 2015 fourth quarter were $218.4 million, a 63% decrease from $592.4 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. Management fees were $148.6 million, 11% lower than $166.7 million for the prior-year period. Incentive income was $69.2 million, 84% lower than the $425.3 million for the prior-year period.

Economic Income revenues for the 2015 full year were $849.3 million, a 30% decrease from $1.2 billion for the 2014 full year. Management fees were $642.2 million, essentially unchanged from $649.3 million for the prior-year period. Incentive income was $205.0 million, 63% lower than the $559.2 million for the prior-year period.

The year-over-year decrease in management fees for both the quarter-to-date and year-to-date period was driven primarily by lower assets under management in the Company’s multi-strategy funds, partially offset by higher assets under management in the Company’s ICS products. This change in mix resulted in a lower year-over-year average management fee rate for both periods. The year-over-year decrease in incentive income for both the quarter-to-date and year-to-date period was driven primarily by lower returns across many of the Company’s funds.

The average management fee rate was 1.34% for the 2015 fourth quarter and 1.39% for the 2015 full year. The Company’s average management fee will vary from quarter to quarter based on the mix of products that comprise its assets under management.

Compensation and Benefits (Non-GAAP)

Compensation and benefits for the 2015 fourth quarter totaled $200.3 million, down 22% from $257.2 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. Salaries and benefits were $29.4 million, 9% higher than $26.8 million in the prior-year period. Bonus expense for the 2015 fourth quarter totaled $170.9 million, 26% lower than $230.4 million for the prior-year period.

Compensation and benefits for the 2015 full year totaled $302.7 million, a 16% decrease from $358.6 million for the 2014 full year. Salaries and benefits were $113.7 million, 10% higher than $103.7 million in the prior-year period. Bonus expense for the 2015 full year totaled $189.0 million, 26% lower than $254.9 million for the prior-year period.

The year-over-year increases in salaries and benefits were driven primarily by an increase in the Company’s headcount. Bonus expense declined as a result of lower incentive income. The ratio of salaries and benefits to management fees was 20% for the 2015 fourth quarter and 18% for the 2015 full year, compared to 16% for the 2014 fourth quarter and 16% for the 2014 full year. These increases were the result of lower year-over-year management fees in both periods, as well as higher expense levels. The ratio of cash bonus expense to total Economic Income revenues was 22% for the 2015 full year, compared to 21% for the 2014 full year.

Non-Compensation Expenses (Non-GAAP)

Non-compensation expenses for the 2015 fourth quarter totaled $55.6 million, up 59% from $35.0 million in the prior-year period. Non-compensation expenses for the 2015 full year totaled $201.4 million, up 60% from $126.1 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increases were primarily driven by higher professional fees due to increased legal expenses relating to certain regulatory and legal matters, as well as higher interest expense due to the issuance of the Company’s Senior Notes in the 2014 fourth quarter.

The ratio of non-compensation expenses to management fees was 37% for the 2015 fourth quarter and 31% for the 2015 full year, respectively, compared to 21% for 2014 fourth quarter and 19% for the 2014 full year.

Economic Income (Non-GAAP)

Economic Income for the 2015 fourth quarter was a loss of $37.6 million, compared to profit of $300.2 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. Economic Income for the full year of 2015 was $345.2 million, lower than the $729.9 million for the full year of 2014.

The year-over-year decrease in Economic Income for both the quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods was primarily due to lower incentive income and higher non-compensation expenses, partially offset by lower bonus expenses.

CAPITAL

As of December 31, 2015, the number of Class A Shares outstanding was 181,026,455. For purposes of calculating Distributable Earnings per Share, the Company assumes that all the interests held by its executive managing directors and Ziff Investors Partnership, L.P. II and certain of its affiliates and control persons (the “Ziffs”) (until the Ziffs exchanged their remaining interests during the 2014 second quarter) in the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries (the “Och-Ziff Operating Group”) (collectively, “Partner Units”), as well as Class A Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) outstanding during the applicable period, have been converted on a one-to-one basis into Class A Shares (“Adjusted Class A Shares”). For the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2015, the total weighted-average Adjusted Class A Shares outstanding were 513,870,889 and 515,541,881, respectively.

DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors of Och-Ziff did not declare a 2015 fourth-quarter dividend on the Company’s Class A Shares.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management evaluates Economic Income for the Och-Ziff Funds segment, the Company’s only reportable operating segment under GAAP, and for the Company’s Other Operations. Economic Income for the Company equals the sum of Economic Income for the Och-Ziff Funds segment and the Company’s Other Operations.

The Company conducts substantially all of its business through the Och-Ziff Funds segment, which provides asset management services to its multi-strategy, opportunistic credit and equity funds, Institutional Credit Strategies and other alternative investment vehicles. The Company’s Other Operations are primarily comprised of its real estate business, which provides asset management services to its real estate funds.

The Company’s non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to the Company’s GAAP Net Income or cash flow from operations, or as indicative of liquidity or the cash available to fund operations. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

For reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see Exhibits 2 and 3 that accompany this press release.

Economic Income

In addition to analyzing the Company’s results on a GAAP basis, management also reviews the Company’s results on an “Economic Income” basis. Economic Income excludes the adjustments described below that are required for presentation of the Company’s results on a GAAP basis, but that management does not consider when evaluating the operating performance of the Company in any given period. Management uses Economic Income as the basis on which it evaluates the financial performance of the Company and makes resource allocation and other operating decisions. Management considers it important that investors review the same operating information that it uses.

Economic Income is a measure of pre-tax operating performance that excludes the following from the Company’s results on a GAAP basis:

•

Income allocations to the Company’s executive managing directors and the Ziffs (until they exchanged their remaining interests during the 2014 second quarter) on their direct interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group. Management reviews operating performance at the Och-Ziff Operating Group level, where substantially all of the Company’s operations are performed, prior to making any income allocations.


•	Reorganization expenses related to the Company’s IPO, equity-based compensation expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses, as management does not consider these non-cash expenses to be reflective of operating performance. However, the fair value of RSUs that are settled in cash to employees or executive managing directors is included as an expense at the time of settlement.


•	Changes in the tax receivable agreement liability and net gains (losses) on investments in Och-Ziff funds, as management does not consider these items to be reflective of operating performance.


•	Amounts related to the consolidated Och-Ziff funds, including the related eliminations of management fees and incentive income, as management reviews the total amount of management fees and incentive income earned in relation to total assets under management and fund performance.

The Company also defers the recognition of incentive income allocations from the consolidated Och-Ziff funds until all clawback contingencies are resolved, consistent with the revenue recognition policy for the funds the Company does not consolidate.

In addition, expenses related to compensation and profit-sharing arrangements based on fund investment performance are recognized at the end of the relevant commitment period, as management reviews the total compensation expense related to these arrangements in relation to any incentive income earned by the relevant fund.

As a result of the adjustments described above, as well as an adjustment to present management fees net of recurring placement and related service fees (rather than considering these fees an expense), management fees, incentive income, compensation and benefits, non-compensation expenses and net income allocated to noncontrolling interests as presented on an Economic Income basis are also non-GAAP measures.

Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure of after-tax operating performance and equals Economic Income less Adjusted Income Taxes. Adjusted Income Taxes are estimated assuming the conversion of all outstanding Partner Units into Class A Shares, on a one-to-one basis, and include the impact of payments under the tax receivable agreement. Therefore, all income (loss) of the Och-Ziff Operating Group allocated to the Partner Units is treated as if it were allocated to Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC. Partner Units represent interests in the Och-Ziff Operating Group held by the Company’s executive managing directors and the Ziffs (until they exchanged their remaining interests during the 2014 second quarter), including the Och-Ziff Operating Group A Units and Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units. Distributable Earnings per Share is equal to Distributable Earnings divided by the weighted-average number of Adjusted Class A Shares.

Management believes Distributable Earnings provides useful information to investors because it uses Distributable Earnings, among other financial information, to determine the earnings available to distribute as dividends to holders of the Company’s Class A Shares and to the Company’s executive managing directors with respect to their Partner Units.

However, the fair value of RSUs that are settled in cash to employees or executive managing directors is included as an expense at the time of settlement. Further, expenses related to compensation and profit-sharing arrangements based on fund investment performance are recognized at the end of the relevant commitment period, as management reviews the total compensation expense related to these arrangements in relation to any incentive income earned by the relevant fund. Distributions to the Och-Ziff Operating Group D Units are also excluded, as management reviews operating performance at the Och-Ziff Operating Group level, where substantially all of the Company’s operations are performed, prior to making any income allocations.


(4)	Adjustment to exclude depreciation, amortization and changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, as management does not consider these items to be reflective of the operating performance of the Company.

Management fees and incentive income vary by product.

Fund Information — Footnotes

(1)

The return information reflected in these tables represents, where applicable, the composite performance of all feeder funds that comprise each of the master funds presented. Gross return information is generally calculated using the total return of all feeder funds, net of all fees and expenses except management fees and incentive income of such feeder funds and master funds and the returns of each feeder fund include the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. Net return information is generally calculated as the gross returns less management fees and incentive income (except incentive income on unrealized gains attributable to investments in certain funds that the Company, as investment manager, determines lack a readily ascertainable fair value, are illiquid or otherwise should be held until the resolution of a special event or circumstance (“Special Investments”) that could reduce returns on these investments at the time of realization). Return information also includes realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to Special Investments and initial public offering investments that are not allocated to all investors in the feeder funds. Investors that were not allocated Special Investments and/or initial public offering investments may experience materially different returns. The performance calculation for the OZ Master Fund excludes realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to currency hedging specific to certain investors investing in OZ Master Fund in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.

(2)

The annualized returns since inception are those of the Och-Ziff Multi-Strategy Composite, which represents the composite performance of all accounts that were managed in accordance with the Company’s broad multi-strategy mandate that were not subject to portfolio investment restrictions or other factors that limited the Company’s investment discretion since inception on April 1, 1994. Performance is calculated using the total return of all such accounts net of all investment fees and expenses of such accounts, except incentive income on unrealized gains attributable to Special Investments that could reduce returns in these investments at the time of realization, and the returns include the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. For the period from April 1, 1994 through December 31, 1997, the returns are gross of certain overhead expenses that were reimbursed by the accounts. Such reimbursement arrangements were terminated at the inception of the OZ Master Fund on January 1, 1998. The size of the accounts comprising the composite during the time period shown vary materially. Such differences impacted the Company’s investment decisions and the diversity of the investment strategies followed. Furthermore, the composition of the investment strategies the Company follows is subject to its discretion, has varied materially since inception and is expected to vary materially in the future. As of December 31, 2015, the gross and net annualized returns since the OZ Master Fund’s inception on January 1, 1998 were 13.4% and 9.1%, respectively.


(3)	Represents funded capital commitments net of recallable distributions to investors.

(4)

Gross internal rate of return (“IRR”) for the Company’s closed-end opportunistic credit funds represents the estimated, unaudited, annualized return based on the timing of cash inflows and outflows for the fund as of December 31, 2015, including the fair value of unrealized investments as of such date, together with any appreciation or depreciation from related hedging activity. Gross IRR does not include the effects of management fees or incentive income, which would reduce the return, and includes the reinvestment of all fund income.

(5)

Net IRR is calculated as described in footnotes (4) and (11), but is reduced by all management fees and for the real estate funds other fund-level fees and expenses not adjusted for in the calculation of gross IRR. Net IRR is further reduced by accrued and paid incentive income, which will be payable upon the distribution of each fund’s capital in accordance with the terms of the relevant fund. Accrued incentive income may be higher or lower at such time. The net IRR represents a composite rate of return for a fund and does not reflect the net IRR specific to any individual investor.


(6)	Gross multiple of invested capital (“MOIC”) for the Company’s closed-end opportunistic credit funds is calculated by dividing the sum of the net asset value of the fund, accrued incentive income, life-to-date incentive income and management fees paid and any non-recallable distributions made from the fund by the invested capital.


(7)	These funds have concluded their investment periods, and therefore the Company expects assets under management for these funds to decrease as investments are sold and the related proceeds are distributed to the investors in these funds.


(8)	An investment is considered partially realized when the total amount of proceeds received, including dividends, interest or other distributions of income and return of capital, represents at least 50% of invested capital.


(9)	Invested capital represents total aggregate contributions made for investments by the fund.


(10)	Total value represents the sum of realized distributions and the fair value of unrealized and partially realized investments as of December 31, 2015. Total value will be impacted (either positively or negatively) by future economic and other factors. Accordingly, the total value ultimately realized will likely be higher or lower than the amounts presented as of December 31, 2015.

(11)

Gross IRR for the Company’s real estate funds represents the estimated, unaudited, annualized return based on the timing of cash inflows and outflows for the aggregated investments as of December 31, 2015, including the fair value of unrealized and partially realized investments as of such date, together with any unrealized appreciation or depreciation from related hedging activity. Gross IRR is not adjusted for estimated management fees, incentive income or other fees or expenses to be paid by the fund, which would reduce the return.


(12)	Gross MOIC for the Company’s real estate funds is calculated by dividing the value of a fund’s investments by the invested capital, prior to adjustments for incentive income, management fees or other expenses to be paid by the fund.


(13)	This fund recently launched and has only invested a small portion of its committed capital; therefore, IRR and MOIC information is not presented, as it is not meaningful.

Longer-Term Assets Under Management (Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands)

As of December 31, 2015, approximately 37% of the Company’s assets under management were subject to initial commitment periods of three years or longer. The Company earns incentive income on these assets based on the cumulative investment performance generated over this commitment period. The table below presents the amount of these assets under management, as well as the amount of incentive income accrued at the fund level but for which the commitment period has not concluded. These amounts have not yet been recognized in our revenues, as the Company recognizes incentive income at the end of the commitment period when amounts are no longer subject to clawback. Further, these amounts may ultimately not be recognized as revenue by the Company in the event of future losses in the respective funds.

The Company recognizes incentive income on its longer-term assets under management in multi-strategy funds and open-end opportunistic credit funds at the end of their respective commitment periods, which are generally three to five years. The Company expects the commitment period with respect to approximately 10% and 20% of the longer-term assets under management in the multi-strategy funds to mature during the first quarter of 2016 and the remainder of 2016, respectively. The Company does not expect the commitment period for a significant amount of longer-term assets under management in its open-end opportunistic credit funds to expire during the first quarter of 2016; however, the Company does expect the commitment period with respect to approximately 10% of the longer-term assets under management to mature during the remainder of 2016. Incentive income related to assets under management in the Company’s closed-end opportunistic credit funds and its real estate funds is generally recognized at or near the end of the life of each fund. These funds generally begin to make distributions after the conclusion of their respective investment period, as presented in the tables in Exhibit 7. However, these investment periods may generally be extended for an additional one to two years.
