Insights

Financial Analyst

PJT Partners' 2024 results demonstrate remarkable operational excellence and market share gains. The 29% revenue growth to $1.49 billion significantly outpaced industry averages, while operating leverage improved substantially as evidenced by the 52% jump in pretax income.

Three key metrics stand out: First, the compensation ratio improved to 69.1% from 69.8%, indicating enhanced operational efficiency despite a 13% headcount increase. Second, non-compensation expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 12.8% from 14.8%, showcasing strong cost discipline. Third, the pretax margin expanded 270 basis points to 18.1%, reflecting the scalability of the business model.

The firm's capital allocation strategy appears well-balanced, with aggressive share repurchases (3.1 million shares at average $109.14) while maintaining a strong liquidity position ($547 million cash). The strategic expansion in New York and London offices signals confidence in future growth prospects.

Revenue quality metrics are particularly encouraging: Advisory fees, the highest-margin segment, grew 28% to $1.31 billion, while placement fees increased 43% to $146.3 million, indicating strong cross-selling success and client diversification. The broad-based growth across strategic advisory, restructuring and private capital solutions suggests sustainable momentum rather than one-off wins.

GAAP Compensation and Benefits Expense was $1.03 billion compared with $805 million in the prior year. Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense was $1.03 billion compared with $805 million in the prior year. The increase in Compensation and Benefits Expense was driven by higher revenues compared with the prior year period, partially offset by a lower accrual rate.

Three Months Ended

GAAP Compensation and Benefits Expense was $326 million for the current quarter compared with $232 million in the prior year. Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense was $324 million compared with $232 million in the prior year.

The increase in GAAP and Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense compared with the prior year was principally due to increases in Occupancy and Related, Travel and Related, and Communications and Information Services.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain material presented herein contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include certain information concerning future results of operations, business strategies, acquisitions, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believe,” “expect,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “could” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, many of which are outside our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance upon any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (a) changes in governmental regulations and policies; (b) cyber attacks, security vulnerabilities and internet disruptions, including breaches of data security and privacy leaks, data loss and business interruptions; (c) failures of our computer systems or communication systems, including as a result of a catastrophic event and the use of remote environments; (d) the impact of catastrophic events, including business disruptions, pandemics, reductions in employment and an increase in business failures on (1) the U.S. and the global economy and (2) our employees and our ability to provide services to our clients and respond to their needs; (e) the failure of third-party service providers to perform their functions; and (f) volatility in the political and economic environment, including as a result of inflation, new or changes to existing tariffs, elevated interest rates and geopolitical and military conflicts.

Any of these factors, as well as such other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. There may be other risks and uncertainties that the Company is unable to predict at this time or that are not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. Any such risks could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following represent additional performance measures that management uses in making resource allocation and/or compensation decisions. These measures should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes the following non-GAAP measures, when presented together with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors in understanding the Company’s operating results: Adjusted Pretax Income; Adjusted Net Income; Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted, in total and on a per-share basis (referred to as “Adjusted EPS”); Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense and Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense. These non-GAAP measures, presented and discussed in this earnings release, remove the impact of: (a) acquisition-related compensation expense; (b) acquisition-related intangible asset amortization; and (c) the net change to the amount the Company has agreed to pay Blackstone Inc. ("Blackstone") related to the net realized cash benefit from certain compensation-related tax deductions. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures and further detail regarding the adjustments are provided in the Appendix.

To help investors understand the effect of the Company’s ownership structure on its Adjusted Net Income, the Company has presented Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted. This measure illustrates the impact of taxes on Adjusted Pretax Income, assuming all Partnership Units (excluding Partnership Units that have yet to satisfy certain market conditions) have been exchanged for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, resulting in all of the Company’s income becoming subject to corporate-level tax, considering both current and deferred income tax effects. This tax rate excludes a number of adjustments, including the tax benefits of the adjustments for acquisition-related compensation expense and amortization expense.
