NEW YORK, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- - Net Revenues of $131.4 Million for Q1 2008, 80% Above Q1 2007 - Total Net Inflows of $0.77 Billion During Q1 2008 (3.1% of Opening Q1
2008 Net Assets Under Management (AUM)) - Net AUM of $24.6 Billion as of March 31, 2008, up 53.2 % from March 31,
2007 - Net GAAP Loss of $222.2 Million for Q1 2008 - Non GAAP Adjusted Net Income for Q1 2008 of $33.8 Million, up 142.2%
From Q1 2007 - Regular Dividend of $0.025 Per Share was Paid on April 21, 2008
GLG Partners, Inc. (NYSE:GLG), a leading alternative asset manager, today reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $226.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. GAAP diluted EPS was ($1.07) for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The first quarter 2008 GAAP net loss resulted primarily from the recognition of compensation related expenses associated with GLG's reverse acquisition transaction with Freedom Acquisition Holdings in November 2007. There will be similar but diminishing GAAP compensation expenses quarterly, ending in the fourth quarter of 2012, related to the acquisition. For further discussion of these largely, non cash Acquisition related charges see below under "Non GAAP Financial Measures".
Non GAAP adjusted net income (GAAP net (loss)/income plus Acquisition-related compensation expense less cumulative dividends) was $33.8 million, up 142.2% year-over-year. Non GAAP adjusted net income per non GAAP weighted average fully diluted share was $0.10 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, up 150.0% year-over-year. Non GAAP adjusted net income and non GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares are financial measures not prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP net income to Non GAAP adjusted net income and average fully diluted shares under GAAP to non GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares is presented below under "Non GAAP Financial Measures".
GLG's net assets under management (AUM) as of March 31, 2008 reached $24.6 billion (net of assets invested from other GLG managed funds), slightly up from net AUM as of December 31, 2007 and up 53.2% from March 31, 2007. Net inflows as a percentage of beginning period net AUM were 3.1% during the first quarter of 2008. GLG's gross AUM (including assets invested from other GLG managed funds) was $29.1 billion at March 31, 2008, up 0.2% from December 31, 2007 and 56.2% from March 31, 2007. Moderate performance related declines across GLG managed funds were offset by inflows and currency translation in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as set forth below in Table 1.
"While market conditions have presented many challenges in the first part of this year, they have also presented many opportunities and we remain optimistic about our prospects" said Noam Gottesman, Chairman and Co-CEO of GLG. "We have successfully managed this business through a broad spectrum of environments over the past 12 years and our focus remains on investing in our people, scaling our infrastructure and delivering superior investment performance."

Financial Summary For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, net revenues and other income was up 80.0% to $131.4 million from $73.0 million in the same quarter in 2007, primarily due to increased management and administration fees as a result of higher levels of net assets under management.
Performance fees were immaterial in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as it is our practice to recognize performance fees when they crystallize, generally on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Accordingly, the second quarter's performance fees will largely reflect first half performance.
Management and administration fees totalled $121.0 million, or 2.0% of average net AUM for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, increases of 72.9 % and 17 basis points (bps), respectively, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Other income of $5.6 million reflects primarily currency related gains on cash held on our balance sheet during first quarter 2008.
The total level of non GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share ("CBP") fell by 289 bps to 40.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 when expressed as a percentage of revenues for the same period last year, although this rose by 67.9% to $52.9 million from the year ago quarter. CBP is a financial measure not prepared under GAAP, and includes compensation, benefits and profit share but excludes Acquisition-related compensation expense described below under "Non GAAP Financial Measures". Compensation, benefits and profit share for the first quarter 2008 rose to $313.0 million compared to $31.5 million in the same quarter last year, largely on the recognition of $260.2 million recognition of Acquisition-related compensation expense tied to our transaction with Freedom.
Please note that compensation, benefits and profit share tied to fund performance is only recognized when the related performance fees crystallize, generally on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Consequently during the second quarter, the portion of compensation expense and limited partner profit share tied to performance reflects crystallized first half performance.
General, administrative, and other expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased 17.6% year-over-year to $30.3 million and decreased as a percentage of revenues from 35.3% to 23.1%. Net interest expense was $4.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 reflecting the cost of borrowings under our term loan and revolving credit facilities.
"Our financial performance to date reflects our ability to grow top line revenues while actively managing expenses" said Emmanuel Roman, Co-CEO and Managing Director of GLG. "As our business evolves and grows, we will continue to invest in our risk and controls infrastructure while managing the bottom-line".
Capital and Dividends As of March 31, 2008, there were 247.4 million common shares, 58.9 million FA Sub 2 Limited Exchangeable Shares, and 54.5 million warrants outstanding. During the first quarter of 2008, GLG repurchased 7.0 million warrants for $37.4 million, 0.3 million shares for $3.5 million and 2.1 million warrants were exercised at $7.50 per share for an aggregate of $16.1 million. Life to date (through May 5, 2008), GLG has repurchased 14.3 million warrants for $82.9 million, 0.3 million shares for $3.5 million and 5.5 million warrants have been exercised at $7.50 per share generating aggregate proceeds of $41.4 million.
We have $117.1 million remaining out of the $200 million in our authorized stock and warrant repurchase programs through August 2008.
We paid a regular quarterly dividend of $0.025 per share on April 21, 2008.

Forward-looking Statements This press release contains statements relating to future results that are "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: market conditions for GLG managed investment funds; performance of GLG managed investment funds, the related performance fees and the associated impacts on revenues, net income, cash flows and fund inflows/outflows; the cost of retaining GLG's key investment and other personnel or the loss of such key personnel; risks associated with the expansion of GLG's business in size and geographically; operational risk; litigation and regulatory enforcement risks, including the diversion of management time and attention and the additional costs and demands on GLG's resources; risks related to the use of leverage, the use of derivatives, interest rates and currency fluctuations; as well as other risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in GLG's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and GLG undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Non GAAP Financial Measures GLG presents certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in addition to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Compensation, benefits and profit share ("CBP"): GLG's management assesses its personnel related expenses based on the measure non GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share, or non GAAP CBP. Non GAAP CBP reflects GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share adjusted to exclude Acquisition-related compensation expense in connection with the acquisition by Freedom Acquisition Holdings Inc. ("Freedom") of GLG Partners LP and associated entities.
The majority of the Acquisition-related compensation is the result of the accounting for an agreement among certain of the Company's principals concurrent with the Acquisition. Although there were no additional equity shares issued to the principals as a result of the agreement, due to the service conditions contained in the agreement, GAAP requires a charge to compensation as the service conditions are met for the fair value of those shares as of the date of the agreement. Management believes that this non-cash charge to compensation expense does not reflect our ongoing core business operations and compensation expense and excludes such amounts for assessing our ongoing core business performance.
Additionally, GLG subtracts any compensation expense related to dividends paid on unvested shares. Compensation expense is only booked in accordance with SFAS 123(R) on dividends on unvested shares that are ultimately not expected to vest.
Non GAAP CBP is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share.
It should be noted that non GAAP CBP is equivalent to the non GAAP measure "comprehensive limited partner profit share, compensation and benefits", or "non GAAP PSCB", previously used by GLG's management to assess its personnel related expenses. This label was updated to better conform to our current statement of operations presentation.
Non GAAP Adjusted Net Income: GLG's management assesses the underlying performance of its business based on the measure "adjusted net income," which adjusts net (loss)/income before minority interest for (1) the Acquisition-related compensation expense and (2) the cumulative dividends payable to the holders of exchangeable shares of our FA Sub 2 Limited subsidiary in respect of our estimate of the net taxable income of FA Sub 2 Limited allocable to such holders multiplied by an assumed tax rate. Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net (loss)/income as an indicator of GLG's operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
Non GAAP Weighted Average Fully Diluted Shares: GLG's management assesses business performance per share based on the measure "non GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding," which adjusts average fully diluted shares outstanding under GAAP for (1) the unvested shares issued pursuant to our equity participation plan, which are recorded under GAAP as treasury shares, but upon which we will pay dividends; (2) unvested shares awarded under our 2007 Restricted Stock Plan and our 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan upon which we will pay dividends; (3) the impact on the weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding of including all of the 69 million outstanding shares of Freedom common stock immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition by Freedom from January 1, 2006 rather than from November 2, 2007; and (4) the impact of including all of the 74 million Freedom warrants as outstanding from January 1, 2006 rather than from November 2, 2007 in determining the weighted average number of warrants outstanding in each period, and applying the treasury stock method to determine the number of fully diluted shares outstanding under such warrants applying the stock price on November 2, 2007 for all dates prior to November 2, 2007. Non GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP fully diluted shares outstanding or used in calculating GAAP earnings per share.
GLG is providing these non GAAP financial measures to enable investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to perform additional financial analysis of GLG's personnel related costs and its earnings from operations and because GLG believes that they will be helpful to investors in understanding all components of personnel-related costs of GLG's business. GLG's management believes that non GAAP financial measures also enhance comparisons of GLG's core results of operations with historical periods. In particular, GLG believes that the non GAAP adjusted net income measure better represents profits available for distribution to stockholders than does GAAP net (loss)/income. Non GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares is a non GAAP financial measure that we use internally to measure the number of shares on which we expect to pay dividends plus the warrants outstanding under the treasury stock method.
Investors should consider these non GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non GAAP financial measures presented by GLG may be different from financial measures used by other companies.
