1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The Carlyle Group L.P., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, (the “Partnership” or
“Carlyle”) is one of the world’s largest global alternative asset management firms that originates, structures and acts as lead equity investor in management-led buyouts, strategic minority equity investments, equity private
placements, consolidations and buildups, growth capital financings, real estate opportunities, bank loans, high-yield debt, distressed assets, mezzanine debt and other investment opportunities.
Carlyle provides investment management services to, and has transactions with, various private equity funds, real estate funds,
collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), hedge funds and other investment products sponsored by the Partnership for the investment of client assets in the normal course of business. Carlyle serves as the general partner, investment
manager or collateral manager, making day-to-day investment decisions concerning the assets of these products. Carlyle operates its business through four reportable segments: Corporate Private Equity, Global Market Strategies, Real Assets, and Fund
of Funds Solutions (see Note 17).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements include (1) subsequent to the reorganization as described below, the accounts of the
Partnership and (2) prior to the reorganization, the combined accounts of TC Group, L.L.C., TC Group Cayman, L.P., TC Group Investment Holdings, L.P. and TC Group Cayman Investment Holdings, L.P. as well as their majority-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, “Carlyle Group”), which were engaged in the above businesses under common ownership and control by Carlyle’s individual partners (“senior Carlyle professionals”), the California Employees Public Retirement
System (“CalPERS”), and Mubadala Development Company (“Mubadala”). In addition, certain Carlyle-affiliated funds, related co-investment entities, and certain CLOs managed by the Partnership (collectively the “Consolidated
Funds”) have been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), as described in Note 2. This consolidation generally has a gross-up
effect on assets, liabilities and cash flows, and has no effect on the net income attributable to the Partnership. The majority economic ownership interests of the investors in the Consolidated Funds are reflected as non-controlling interests in
consolidated entities, partners’ capital appropriated for Consolidated Funds, and redeemable non-controlling interests in consolidated entities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Prior to the reorganization and initial public offering in May 2012, all compensation for services rendered by senior Carlyle
professionals were reflected as distributions from partners’ capital rather than compensation expense. Subsequent to the reorganization and initial public offering, all compensation attributable to senior Carlyle professionals is recognized as
compensation expense, consistent with all other Carlyle employees.

financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. These statements, including notes, have not been audited, exclude some of
the disclosures required for annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited combined and consolidated financial statements and notes of Carlyle Group for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the
