Blackstone (NYSE: BX) reported Q4 Distributable Earnings of $0.92 per unit, $0.18 better than the analyst estimate of $0.74. Revenue for the quarter came in at $2.137 billion versus the consensus estimate of $1.47 billion.
Stephen A. Schwarzman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Blackstone reported record full year 2014 results across all of our key metrics. Economic Net Income (“ENI”) rose 24% and Distributable Earnings (“DE”) rose 64%, respectively, from the prior year record amounts. Our ENI and DE have both compounded at double-digit annual rates since the time of our public offering seven years ago, demonstrating sustained exceptional investment performance and growth across the platform. While we distributed a record $45 billion to our fund investors during the year through realizations, our significant inflows of $57 billion and strong investment performance propelled total AUM to a record $290 billion. Looking forward, we see continued momentum across all of our businesses as the environment for both investing opportunistically and harvesting more seasoned assets remains attractive.”
