Fee related earnings (“FRE”) were $95.1 million and $318.3 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, up from FRE of $87.5 million and pro forma¹FRE of $247.4 million in the comparable periods of 2009.

Economic net income (“ENI”) was $714.6 million and $2,139.8 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, up from ENI of $515.3 million and pro forma ENI of $1,953.9 million in the comparable periods of 2009.

KKR & Co. L.P. declares a fourth quarter distribution of $0.29 per common unit, bringing total distributions for 2010 results to $0.60 per common unit.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– KKR & Co. L.P. (NYSE: KKR) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2010 results. ENI was $2.1 billion for the year, an increase of 9.5% versus 2009 driven by accelerated performance across each of KKR’s businesses. The continued appreciation of KKR’s private equity investments, by 11% for the quarter and 33% for the full year, was the key contributor to the strong results.

AUM and fee paying assets under management (“FPAUM”) ended the year at $61.0 billion and $46.0 billion, respectively. The strong growth over the prior quarter and year was a result of continued success in capital raising and significant investment appreciation.

“We continue to show great progress in the two areas that drive our business: investment performance and capital raising. Our investment returns across all strategies compared favorably to their benchmarks. Our private equity funds returned 33% for the year, significantly outperforming the S&P 500 return of 15%, while each of our credit strategies also beat benchmark indices. In addition, despite a challenging fundraising environment in 2010, we raised $5 billion of capital to support our China growth equity, oil & gas, infrastructure, mezzanine, special situations and other strategies. All of this provides us with strong momentum heading into 2011,” said Henry R. Kravis and George R. Roberts, Co-Founders, Co-Chairmen and Co-Chief Executive Officers of KKR.

GAAP Results

GAAP results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010 included net income attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. of $180.6 million and $333.2 million, respectively, and net income per common unit attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. of $0.86 and $1.62, respectively. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2009, net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. was ($78.2) million and $849.7 million, respectively.

The quarter over quarter increase is primarily due to a higher level of appreciation of KKR’s investments and a one-time recognition of non-cash compensation charges in connection with the Business Combination and related transactions in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The year over year decrease is primarily due to certain adjustments applicable to periods after October 1, 2009 as a result of the Business Combination and related transactions including: (i) the allocation of earnings of KKR to KKR Holdings L.P. (the vehicle through which KKR principals own interests in KKR), (ii) the recognition of non-cash compensation charges, and (iii) the recognition of corporate income taxes. These factors were partially offset by the inclusion of income from KKR’s principal investments for all of 2010.

Total Reportable Segments

AUM was $61.0 billion as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $5.5 billion or 9.9% compared to AUM of $55.5 billion as of September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to appreciation in the fair value of KKR’s private equity portfolio as well as new capital raised, partially offset by distributions to limited partners arising from realizations.

FPAUM was $46.0 billion as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $3.3 billion or 7.7% compared to FPAUM of $42.7 billion as of September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to new capital raised across many of KKR’s strategies.

FRE was $95.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $7.6 million or 8.7% compared to FRE of $87.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The increase is primarily due to higher capital markets fees as a result of increased activity and incentive fees earned in the public markets segment. These increases were partially offset by lower monitoring fees in the private markets segment as a result of a termination payment on a monitoring agreement with a portfolio company received during the fourth quarter of 2009.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, FRE was $318.3 million, an increase of $70.9 million or 28.7% compared to pro forma FRE of $247.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to (i) higher capital markets fees as a result of increased activity, (ii) higher incentive fees earned in the public markets segment, and (iii) higher transaction fees in the private markets segment as a result of more transactions closing. These increases were partially offset by higher compensation expense as a result of improved performance and the expansion of KKR’s business as well as lower monitoring fees as a result of monitoring agreement termination payments received during 2009.

ENI was $714.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $199.3 million or 38.7% compared to ENI of $515.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The increase primarily reflects a higher level of appreciation of KKR’s private equity portfolio, which drove increases in both net carried interest and the income from principal investments.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, ENI was $2,139.8 million, an increase of $185.9 million or 9.5% compared to pro forma ENI of $1,953.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase primarily reflects a higher level of net carried interest and the growth in FRE discussed above.

Private Markets

AUM in the private markets segment was $46.2 billion as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $4.3 billion or 10.3% compared to AUM of $41.9 billion as of September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to appreciation in the fair value of KKR’s private equity portfolio as well as new capital raised, partially offset by distributions to limited partners arising from realizations.

FPAUM in the private markets segment was $38.2 billion as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $2.2 billion or 6.1% compared to FPAUM of $36.0 billion as of September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to new capital raised.

FRE in the private markets segment was $41.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $28.1 million or 40.6% compared to FRE of $69.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to (i) lower monitoring fees as a result of a $46.1 million termination payment on a monitoring agreement with a portfolio company during the fourth quarter of 2009, which impacted FRE by $28.6 million net of associated fee credits, and (ii) higher compensation and other operating expenses in connection with the expansion of KKR’s business and increased transaction activity. These downward drivers were partially offset by higher transaction fees as a result of more transactions closing.

FRE in the private markets segment was $182.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $34.7 million or 16.0% compared to pro forma FRE of $217.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to (i) lower monitoring fees as a result of $72.2 million in payments received during 2009 related to the termination of monitoring agreements with portfolio companies, which impacted FRE by $37.8 million net of associated fee credits, and (ii) higher compensation and other operating expenses in connection with the expansion of KKR’s business and increased transaction activity. These downward drivers were partially offset by higher transaction fees as a result of more transactions closing.

ENI in the private markets segment was $262.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $116.4 million or 79.9% compared to ENI of $145.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to higher net carried interest resulting from a higher level of appreciation of KKR’s private equity portfolio.

ENI in the private markets segment was $784.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $123.1 million or 18.6% compared to pro forma ENI of $661.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to higher net carried interest driven by certain private equity funds that were not in a carry-earning position during 2009 earning carried interest in 2010 as a result of appreciation above their cost basis.

Public Markets

AUM in the public markets segment was $14.8 billion as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $1.2 billion or 8.8% compared to AUM of $13.6 billion as of September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to new capital raised during the quarter and appreciation in the net asset value of certain vehicles.

FPAUM in the public markets segment was $7.8 billion as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $1.1 billion or 16.4% compared to FPAUM of $6.7 billion as of September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to new capital raised during the quarter and appreciation in the net asset value of certain vehicles.

FRE in the public markets segment was $16.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $13.9 million compared to FRE of $2.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, FRE was $57.0 million, an increase of $45.2 million compared to pro forma FRE of $11.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in both comparative periods was primarily due to (i) higher incentive fees and (ii) higher transaction fees arising primarily from new strategies that drive such fees.

ENI in the public markets segment was $17.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $16.3 million compared to ENI of $1.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, ENI was $60.1 million, an increase of $53.7 million compared to pro forma ENI of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in both comparative periods was primarily due to the growth in FRE discussed above.

Capital Markets and Principal Activities

FRE in the capital markets and principal activities segment was $37.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $21.9 million compared to FRE of $15.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, FRE was $79.1 million, an increase of $60.4 million compared to pro forma FRE of $18.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in both comparative periods was primarily due to an increase in overall capital markets transaction activity resulting from an improved environment and the continued growth of this business.

ENI in the capital markets and principal activities segment was $434.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $66.7 million or 18.1% compared to ENI of $368.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a higher level of investment income.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, ENI was $1,295.1 million, an increase of $9.1 million or 0.7% compared to pro forma ENI of $1,286.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the growth in FRE discussed above partially offset by a lower level of investment income. While the fair value of KKR’s principal investments increased in 2010, the overall level of appreciation was slightly lower than in 2009.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 2010, KKR had an available cash balance of $756.3 million and $500.0 million of outstanding debt obligations. On February 22, 2011, KKR entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with HSBC Bank plc, which will become effective upon the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. Upon effectiveness, the current availability for borrowings under this facility will be reduced from $1.0 billion to $700.0 million, and the scheduled maturity will be extended by three years to expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of closing. The rates for borrowings and the facility fee will remain the same. Following the amendment, KKR’s availability for further borrowings was approximately $1.6 billion (which does not include a $500.0 million revolving credit facility for use in its capital markets business that was undrawn as of December 31, 2010).

As of December 31, 2010, KKR’s portion of total uncalled commitments to its investment funds was $923.7 million, consisting of the following (amounts in thousands):

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Note: Prior to the Business Combination and related transactions, there was no single capital structure upon which to calculate historical earnings per common unit since KKR’s business was conducted through a large number of entities for which there was no single holding entity. Accordingly, earnings per common unit has not been presented for periods prior to the Transactions.

(a) KKR Holdings units have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common unit given that the exchange of these units would proportionally increase KKR & Co. L.P.’s interests in KKR’s business and would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common unit as a result of certain tax benefits KKR & Co. L.P. is assumed to receive upon the exchange.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

(a)			After-tax ENI is calculated by deducting from ENI the implied income tax provision that has been calculated assuming that all income is allocated to KKR & Co. L.P., which would occur following an exchange of all KKR Holdings units for common units of KKR & Co. L.P. The assumptions and methodology used to calculate the implied income tax provision are consistent with those used in calculating the tax provision for KKR & Co. L.P. under GAAP. The implied income tax provision does not give effect to any tax savings or deductions that may result from the exchange of KKR Holdings units.
(b)			Adjusted units represents the weighted-average fully diluted unit count for Economic Net Income purposes using the if-converted method. See Exhibit B for a reconciliation of this item to the comparable GAAP measure.
(c)			Core interest expense excludes interest expense related to debt obligations from investment financing arrangements related to certain of KKR’s private equity funds and principal investments. These financing arrangements are not direct obligations of the general partners of KKR’s private equity funds or its management companies. On a segment basis, interest expense is included in other investment income.

* All amounts indicated in this press release as being presented on a pro forma basis give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they were completed on January 1, 2009. See notes to reportable segments on page 22 of this press release.

(a)

Additional distribution is provided primarily from certain realizations on investments within KKR’s capital markets and principal activities segment and was calculated in accordance with our distribution policy to cover certain tax liabilities. The amount of any additional distribution in the future should not be expected to be consistent or regularly declared.

DISTRIBUTION POLICY

KKR intends to make quarterly cash distributions in amounts that in the aggregate are expected to constitute substantially all of the cash earnings of its investment management business each year in excess of amounts determined by KKR to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and its investment funds and to comply with applicable law and any of its debt instruments or other agreements. KKR does not intend to distribute gains on principal investments, other than certain additional distributions, that KKR may determine to make. These additional distributions, if any, are intended to cover certain tax liabilities, as calculated by KKR. When KKR & Co. L.P. receives distributions from the KKR Group Partnerships (the holding companies of the KKR business), KKR Holdings receives its pro rata share of such distributions from the KKR Group Partnerships. For the purposes of KKR’s distribution policy, its distributions are expected to consist of an amount consisting of (i) FRE, (ii) carry distributions received from KKR’s investment funds which have not been allocated as part of its carry pool, and (iii) certain tax distributions, if any. This amount is expected to be reduced by (i) corporate and applicable local taxes, if any, (ii) noncontrolling interests, and (iii) amounts determined by KKR to be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of its business and other matters as discussed above.

The declaration and payment of any distributions are subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the general partner of KKR & Co. L.P. and the terms of its limited partnership agreement. There can be no assurance that distributions will be made as intended or at all or that such distributions will be sufficient to pay any particular KKR unit holder’s actual U.S. or non-U.S. tax liability.

KKR

Notes to Reportable Segments (Unaudited)

The reportable segments for KKR’s business are presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) between KKR & Co. L.P. and KKR Holdings L.P. and as such represent the business in total.

Business Combination

FRE and ENI previously reported for periods prior to October 1, 2009 did not reflect certain adjustments that are applicable for periods after October 1, 2009 as a result of the Business Combination, which include items such as:

the exclusion of approximately 40% of the carry allocated to KKR principals pursuant to its carry pool;
the exclusion of carry allocated to former KKR principals;
the exclusion of the capital invested by or on behalf of the general partners of KKR’s private equity funds before the completion of the Business Combination and any returns thereon;
the exclusion of the economic interests associated with the KKR 1996 Fund;
the elimination of management fees paid by KKR & Co. (Guernsey) L.P. formerly known as KKR Private Equity Investors, L.P. (“KPE”), prior to the Business Combination, to KKR’s management companies;
the inclusion of the financial results of KPE; and
certain compensation adjustments including: (i) the exclusion of bonuses earned by certain of KKR’s principals which will not be borne by public investors and (ii) the inclusion of salaries for KKR’s senior principals.

Given the significance of these adjustments, the comparisons to all periods prior to October 1, 2009 in this press release are on a pro forma basis giving effect to the adjustments above. For a further discussion of adjustments related to the Business Combination please refer to KKR & Co. L.P.’s prospectus filed on October 5, 2010, which is available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Definitions

Fee related earnings (“FRE”) is comprised of segment operating revenues, less segment operating expenses. The components of FRE on a segment basis differ from the equivalent U.S. GAAP amounts on a combined basis as a result of: (i) the inclusion of management fees earned from consolidated funds that were eliminated in consolidation; (ii) the exclusion of expenses of consolidated funds; (iii) the exclusion of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets; (iv) the exclusion of charges relating to carry pool allocations; (v) the exclusion of non-cash equity charges and other non-cash compensation charges borne by KKR Holdings; (vi) the exclusion of certain reimbursable expenses and (vii) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items.

Economic net income (“ENI”) is a measure of profitability for KKR’s reportable segments and is comprised of: (i) FRE; plus (ii) segment investment income, which is reduced for carry pool allocations and management fee refunds; less (iii) certain economic interests in KKR’s segments held by third parties. ENI differs from net income on a GAAP basis as a result of: (i) the exclusion of the items referred to in FRE above; (ii) the exclusion of investment income relating to noncontrolling interests; and (iii) the exclusion of income taxes.

After-tax ENI is calculated by deducting from ENI the implied income tax provision that has been calculated assuming that all income is allocated to KKR & Co. L.P., which would occur following an exchange of all KKR Holdings units for common units of KKR & Co. L.P. The assumptions and methodology used to calculate the implied income tax provision are consistent with those used in calculating the tax provision for KKR & Co. L.P. under GAAP. The implied income tax provision does not give effect to any tax savings or deductions that may result from the exchange of KKR Holdings units.

Assets under management (“AUM”) represent the assets from which KKR is entitled to receive fees or a carried interest and general partner capital. KKR calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of KKR’s investment funds plus uncalled capital commitments from these funds; (ii) the fair value of investments in KKR’s co-investment vehicles; (iii) the net asset value of certain of KKR’s fixed income products; and (iv) the value of outstanding structured finance vehicles. You should note that KKR’s calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers and, as a result, its measurements of AUM may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. KKR’s definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that is set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages.

KKR

Notes to Reportable Segments (Unaudited) (Continued)

		Fee paying AUM (“FPAUM”) represents only those assets under management from which KKR receives fees. FPAUM is the sum of all of the individual fee bases that are used to calculate KKR’s fees and differs from AUM in the following respects: (i) assets from which KKR does not receive a fee are excluded (i.e., assets with respect to which it receives only carried interest); and (ii) certain assets, primarily in its private equity funds, are reflected based on capital commitments and invested capital as opposed to fair value because fees are not impacted by changes in the fair value of underlying investments.

		Committed dollars invested is the aggregate amount of capital commitments that have been invested by KKR’s investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles during a given period. Such amounts include: (i) capital invested by fund investors and co-investors with respect to which KKR is entitled to a carried interest and (ii) capital invested by KKR.

		Uncalled commitments represent unfunded capital commitments that KKR’s investment funds and carry-paying co-investment vehicles have received from partners to contribute capital to fund future investments.

		Fee Credits require KKR to share a portion of any monitoring and transaction fees received from portfolio companies with limited partners in certain of its investment funds. Fee credits exclude fees that are not attributable to a fund’s investment in a portfolio company and generally amount to 80% of monitoring and transaction fees after fund related expenses are recovered.

		KKR Carry Pool represents a portion of the carried interest earned in relation to certain of KKR’s active and future investment funds and co-investment vehicles that will be allocated to its principals, other professionals and selected other individuals.

		Management Fee Refunds represent 20% of any cash management fees earned from limited partners in the event that certain of KKR’s investment funds recognize a carried interest.
