Insights

Financial Analyst

PJT Partners' Q2 2024 results demonstrate robust financial performance, with several key metrics hitting record levels. The 4% year-over-year increase in quarterly revenues to $360 million is impressive, especially considering the challenging market conditions many financial services firms are facing.

Particularly noteworthy is the 19% increase in both GAAP and Adjusted Pretax Income, reaching $64 million and $66 million respectively. This suggests effective cost management and improved operational efficiency. The expansion in pretax margin from 15.6% to 17.9% on a GAAP basis further supports this view.

The company's placement revenues saw a remarkable 134% increase, primarily driven by fund placement activities. This diversification of revenue streams is a positive sign, potentially offsetting the 5% decrease in advisory revenues.

PJT's balance sheet remains strong with $351 million in cash and short-term investments and no funded debt. The new $100 million revolving credit facility provides additional financial flexibility. The company's aggressive share repurchase program, buying back 2.2 million shares in the first half of 2024, demonstrates confidence in its future prospects and commitment to shareholder returns.

However, investors should note the decrease in advisory revenues, traditionally a core business for PJT. While offset by other areas, this trend warrants monitoring in future quarters.

Market Research Analyst

PJT Partners' Q2 results offer intriguing insights into current market dynamics. The significant increase in placement revenues suggests a robust appetite for fund investments, potentially indicating a shift in market sentiment towards alternative assets or private markets.

The decrease in restructuring revenues, as part of the advisory segment, is noteworthy. This could signal improving economic conditions, with fewer companies requiring restructuring services. However, it's important to monitor whether this is a temporary lull or a longer-term trend.

The increase in strategic advisory revenues within a challenging M&A environment is commendable. It may indicate PJT's strong competitive position or a potential uptick in deal activity in specific sectors they serve.

The company's continued investment in expanding industry expertise, product capabilities and global reach aligns with broader trends in the financial advisory industry. Firms are increasingly seeking to offer comprehensive solutions and global perspectives to clients.

The record level of open market share repurchases is significant. It not only returns value to shareholders but also suggests management's confidence in the company's valuation and future prospects. This could be interpreted as a positive signal in a market where many companies are conserving cash.

Overall, PJT's results provide a nuanced view of current market conditions, suggesting pockets of strength in fund placement and strategic advisory, while also hinting at potential shifts in restructuring demand.

Compensation and Benefits Expense

Three Months Ended

Compensation and Benefits Expense was $250 million for the current quarter compared with $247 million in the prior year, reflecting higher revenues and a lower compensation accrual rate.

Six Months Ended

Compensation and Benefits Expense was $479 million compared with $380 million in the prior year. The increase in Compensation and Benefits Expense was driven by higher revenues compared with the prior year.

Non-Compensation Expense

Three Months Ended

GAAP Non-Compensation Expense was $45 million for the current quarter compared with $45 million in the prior year. Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense was $44 million for the current quarter compared with $44 million in the prior year.

The GAAP and Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense were essentially unchanged in the second quarter compared with the prior year. Decreases in Professional Fees and Other Expenses were offset by increases in Occupancy and Related and Communications and Information Services. Professional Fees decreased due to lower consulting expenses relating to the firm's business activities. Other Expenses decreased principally due to insurance reimbursements, which were partially offset by increases in market data and higher bad debt expense. Occupancy and Related increased principally due to the expansion and lease term extension of our New York headquarters in the fourth quarter of 2023. Communications and Information Services increased principally due to investments in technology infrastructure.

Six Months Ended

GAAP Non-Compensation Expense was $92 million compared with $83 million in the prior year. Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense was $89 million compared with $81 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, partially offset by a decrease in Professional Fees. Occupancy and Related increased principally due to the expansion and lease term extension of our New York headquarters in the fourth quarter of 2023. Travel and Related increased due to increased levels of business travel. Communications and Information Services increased principally due to investments in technology infrastructure. Professional Fees decreased due to lower consulting expenses relating to the firm's business activities.

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 work environments and virtual platforms; (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, 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 key 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”); and Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense. These non-GAAP measures, presented and discussed in this earnings release, remove the significant accounting impact of: (a) intangible asset amortization associated with the acquisition of PJT Capital LP and the acquisition of CamberView; and (b) 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 transaction-related amortization expense.
