Asset Management
In our asset management business, we have historically had four business lines: (1) Private Markets, (2) Public Markets, (3) Capital Markets, and (4) Principal Activities. Beginning in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Private Markets business line will be split into two business lines, "Private Equity" and "Real Assets", each of which was historically included as part of the Private Markets business line. As a result of this change, our asset management segment's business lines will increase from four to five. In addition, the Public Markets business line will, beginning in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, be renamed Credit and Liquid Strategies. As an asset management firm, we earn fees, including incentive fees, and carried interest for providing investment management and other services to our funds, vehicles, CLOs, managed accounts and portfolio companies, and we generate transaction-specific income from capital markets transactions. We earn additional investment income by investing our own capital alongside that of our fund investors and from other assets on our balance sheet. Carried interest we receive from our funds and certain other investment vehicles entitles us to a specified percentage of investment gains that are generated on third-party capital that is invested. Our investment teams have deep industry knowledge and are supported by a substantial and diversified capital base; an integrated global investment platform; the expertise of operating professionals, senior advisors and other advisors; and a worldwide network of business relationships that provide a significant source of investment opportunities, specialized knowledge during due diligence and substantial resources for creating and realizing value for stakeholders. These teams invest capital, a substantial portion of which is of a long duration or not subject to predetermined redemption requirements, which provides us with significant flexibility to grow investments and select exit opportunities. As ofJune 30, 2022 , approximately 90% of our AUM consists of capital that is not subject to redemption for at least 8 years from inception and what we refer to as perpetual capital. For more information about the limitations of perpetual capital, please see "Risks Related to Our Business-AUM referred to as perpetual capital is subject to material reduction, including through withdrawal, redemption, or dividends, and termination" in our Annual Report. We believe that these aspects of our business help us continue to grow our asset management business and deliver strong investment performance in a variety of economic and financial conditions.
Asset Management – Private Equity
Through our Private Equity business line, we manage and sponsor a group of what we call traditional private equity funds that invest capital for long-term appreciation, either through controlling ownership of a company or strategic minority positions. In addition to our traditional private equity funds that invest in large and mid-sized companies, we sponsor investment funds that invest in core equity and growth equity, which includes our impact investments. Our Private Equity business line includes separately managed accounts that invest in multiple strategies, which may include our credit and real asset strategies in addition to our private equity strategies. These funds and accounts are managed byKohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. , anSEC -registered investment adviser, or one of its subsidiaries. As ofJune 30, 2022 , our Private Equity business line had$171.5 billion of AUM.
Asset Management – Real Assets
Through our Real Assets business line, we manage and sponsor a group of real assets funds that invest capital in infrastructure, real estate, or energy. These funds and accounts are managed byKohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. , anSEC -registered investment adviser, or one of its subsidiaries. As ofJune 30, 2022 , our Real Assets business line had$113.8 billion of AUM. The table below presents information as ofJune 30, 2022 , relating to our current private equity and real asset funds for which we have the ability to earn carried interest. This data does not reflect acquisitions or disposals of investments, changes in investment values, or distributions occurring afterJune 30, 2022 . 105

(1)These funds were not contributed to KKR as part of the acquisition of the
assets and liabilities of
Private Equity Investors, L.P.
(2)Where commitments are euro-denominated, such amounts have been converted intoU.S. dollars based on (i) the foreign exchange rate at the date of purchase for each investment and (ii) the exchange rate prevailing onJune 30, 2022 , in the case of unfunded commitments. (3)The gross IRR, net IRR and gross multiple of invested capital are calculated for our investment funds that made their first investment at least 24 months prior toJune 30, 2022 . We therefore have not calculated gross IRRs, net IRRs and gross multiples of invested capital with respect to these funds.
(4)An investment is considered realized when it has been disposed of or has
otherwise generated disposition proceeds or current income that has been
distributed by the relevant fund.
(5)IRRs measure the aggregate annual compounded returns generated by a fund's investments over a holding period. Net IRRs are calculated after giving effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees and organizational expenses. Gross IRRs are calculated before giving effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees and organizational expenses. The gross multiples of invested capital measure the aggregate value generated by a fund's investments in absolute terms. Each multiple of invested capital is calculated by adding together the total realized and unrealized values of a fund's investments and dividing by the total amount of capital invested by the fund. Such amounts do not give effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest or the payment of any applicable management fees or organizational expenses. KKR's private equity and real assets funds may utilize third-party financing facilities to provide liquidity to such funds. The above net and gross IRRs are calculated from the time capital contributions are due from fund investors to the time fund investors receive a related distribution from the fund, and the use of such financing facilities generally decreases the amount of time that would otherwise be used to calculate IRRs, which tends to increase IRRs when fair value grows over time and decrease IRRs when fair value decreases over time. KKR's private equity and real assets funds also generally provide in certain circumstances, which vary depending on the relevant fund documents, for a portion of capital returned to investors to be restored to unused commitments as recycled capital. For KKR's private equity and real assets funds that have a preferred return, we take into account recycled capital in the calculation of IRRs and multiples of invested capital because the calculation of the preferred return includes the effect of recycled capital. For KKR's private equity and real assets funds that do not have a preferred return, we do not take recycled capital into account in the calculation of IRRs and multiples of invested capital. The inclusion of recycled capital generally causes invested and realized amounts to be higher and IRRs and multiples of invested capital to be lower than had recycled capital not been included. The inclusion of recycled capital would reduce the composite net IRR of all Included Funds by 0.1% and the composite net IRR of all Legacy Funds by 0.5% and would reduce the composite multiple of invested capital of Included Funds by less than 0.1 and the composite multiple of invested capital of Legacy Funds by 0.4.

partnerships offer a range of alternative investment strategies, including
long/short equity, hedge fund-of-funds and energy credit investments.
Credit
Our credit business pursues investments in two principal investment strategies:
leveraged credit and alternative credit.
Leveraged Credit. Our leveraged credit strategy is principally directed at investing in leveraged loans, high-yield bonds, opportunistic credit, structured credit and revolving credit investments. Our opportunistic credit strategy seeks to deploy capital across investment themes that take advantage of credit market dislocations, spanning asset types and liquidity profiles. Our revolving credit strategy invests in senior secured revolving credit facilities.
Alternative Credit. Our alternative credit strategy consists of our private
credit strategies and debt and equity investments sourced by our strategic
investments group (“SIG”).

Table of Contents
•Private Credit. Our private credit strategies focus on privately or directly originated and negotiated transactions. These strategies include direct lending, mezzanine debt and asset-based finance. Through our direct lending strategy, we seek to make investments in primarily senior debt financings for middle-market companies. Through our mezzanine debt strategy, investments typically consist of subordinated debt, which generates a current yield, coupled with marginal equity exposure for additional upside potential. Our asset-based finance strategy focuses on portfolios of financial loans and loans backed by hard assets. • SIG. Our SIG strategy seeks to pursue investments in corporate credit and asset or real estate-backed credit where market volatility or other investment themes have created the opportunity to generate outsized returns with downside-protected securities. These investments may include stressed or distressed investments (including post-restructuring equity), control-oriented opportunities, rescue financing (debt or equity investments made to address covenant, maturity or liquidity issues), debtor-in-possession or exit financing, and other event-driven investments in debt or equity.
Performance
The following table presents information regarding the larger leveraged credit strategies managed by KKR from inception toJune 30, 2022 . The information presented below is not intended to be representative of any past or future performance for any particular period other than the period presented below. Past performance is no guarantee of any future result.

The S&P/LSTA Loan Index is a daily tradable index for theU.S. loan market that seeks to mirror the market-weighted performance of the largest institutional loans that meet certain criteria. The BoAML HY Master II Index is an index for high-yield corporate bonds. It is designed to measure the broad high-yield market, including lower-rated securities. The CS Inst West European Leveraged Loan Index contains only institutional loan facilities priced above 90, excluding TL and TLa facilities and loans ratedCC, C or are in default. The S&P European Leveraged Loan Index reflects the market-weighted performance of institutional leveraged loan portfolios investing in European credits. While the returns of our leveraged credit strategies reflect the reinvestment of income and dividends, none of the indices presented in the chart above reflect such reinvestment, which has the effect of increasing the reported relative performance of these strategies as compared to the indices. Furthermore, these indices are not subject to management fees, incentive allocations, or expenses. (2)Performance is based on a blended composite of Bank Loans Plus High Yield strategy accounts. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the Bank Loans Plus High Yield strategy is based on 65% S&P/LSTA Loan Index and 35% BoAML HY Master II Index. (3)The Opportunistic Credit strategy invests in high-yield securities and corporate loans with no preset allocation. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the Opportunistic Credit strategy presented herein is based on 50% S&P/LSTA Loan Index and 50% BoAML HY Master II Index. Funds within this strategy may utilize third-party financing facilities to enhance investment returns. In cases where financing facilities are used, the amounts drawn on the facility are deducted from the assets of the fund in the calculation of net asset value, which tends to increase returns when net asset value grows over time and decrease returns when net asset value decreases over time.
(4)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in
leveraged loans. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the Bank
Loans strategy is based on the S&P/LSTA Loan Index.
(5)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in high-yield securities. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the High Yield strategy is based on the BoAML HY Master II Index.
(6)The returns presented are calculated based on local currency.
(7)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in
higher quality leveraged loans. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison
for the European Leveraged Loans strategy is based on the CS Inst West European
Leveraged Loan Index.
(8)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in
European institutional leveraged loans. The benchmark used for purposes of
comparison for the European Credit Opportunities strategy is based on the S&P
European Leveraged Loans (All Loans) Index.

(1)Recycled capital is excluded from the amounts invested and realized.
(2)These credit funds utilize third-party financing facilities to provide liquidity to such funds, and in such event IRRs are calculated from the time capital contributions are due from fund investors to the time fund investors receive a related distribution from the fund. The use of such financing facilities generally decreases the amount of invested capital that would otherwise be used to calculate IRRs, which tends to increase IRRs when fair value grows over time and decrease IRRs when fair value decreases over time. IRRs measure the aggregate annual compounded returns generated by a fund's investments over a holding period and are calculated taking into account recycled capital. Net IRRs presented are calculated after giving effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees. Gross IRRs are calculated before giving effect to the allocation of carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees. (3)The multiples of invested capital measure the aggregate value generated by a fund's investments in absolute terms. Each multiple of invested capital is calculated by adding together the total realized and unrealized values of a fund's investments and dividing by the total amount of capital invested by the investors. The use of financing facilities generally decreases the amount of invested capital that would otherwise be used to calculate multiples of invested capital, which tends to increase multiples when fair value grows over time and decrease multiples when fair value decreases over time. Such amounts do not give effect to the allocation of any realized and unrealized returns on a fund's investments to the fund's general partner pursuant to a carried interest or the payment of any applicable management fees and are calculated without taking into account recycled capital. Hedge Funds Our hedge fund platform consists of strategic partnerships with third-party hedge fund managers in which KKR owns a minority stake. This principally consists of a 39.6% interest inMarshall Wace LLP (together with its affiliates, "Marshall Wace"), a global alternative investment manager specializing in long/short equity products. We also own (i) a 39.9% interest inPAAMCO Prisma Holdings, LLC ("PAAMCO Prisma"), an investment manager focused on liquid alternative investment solutions, including hedge fund-of-fund portfolios, and (ii) a 24.9% interest inBlackGold Capital Management L.P.

Asset Management – Capital Markets
OurCapital Markets business line is comprised of our global capital markets business, which is integrated with KKR's other asset management business lines, and serves our firm, our funds, our portfolio companies and third-party clients by developing and implementing both traditional and non-traditional capital solutions for investments or companies seeking financing. These services include arranging debt and equity financing, placing and underwriting securities offerings, and providing other types of capital markets services that may result in the firm receiving fees, including underwriting, placement, transaction and syndication fees, commissions, underwriting discounts, interest payments and other compensation, which may be payable in cash or securities, in respect of the activities described above. 111
——————————————————————————–
Table of Contents
Our capital markets business underwrites credit facilities and arranges loan syndications and participations. When we are sole arrangers of a credit facility, we may advance amounts to the borrower on behalf of other lenders, subject to repayment. When we underwrite an offering of securities on a firm commitment basis, we commit to buy and sell an issue of securities and generate revenue by purchasing the securities at a discount or for a fee. When we act in an agency capacity or best efforts basis, we generate revenue for arranging financing or placing securities with capital markets investors. We may also provide issuers with capital markets advice on security selection, access to markets, marketing considerations, securities pricing, and other aspects of capital markets transactions in exchange for a fee. Our capital markets business also provides syndication services in respect of co-investments in transactions participated in by KKR funds or third-party clients, which may entitle the firm to receive syndication fees, management fees and/or a carried interest. The capital markets business has a global footprint, with local presence and licenses to carry out certain broker-dealer activities in various countries inNorth America ,Europe ,Asia-Pacific and theMiddle East . Our flagship capital markets subsidiary isKKR Capital Markets LLC , anSEC -registered broker-dealer and a member of theFinancial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").
Asset Management – Principal Activities
Through our Principal Activities business line, we manage the firm's own assets on our firm's balance sheet and deploy capital to support and grow our Private Equity, Real Assets, Credit and Liquid Strategies, and Credit Markets business lines. Typically, the funds that we manage in our Private Equity, Real Assets and Credit and Liquid Strategies business lines contractually require us, as general partner of the funds, to make sizable capital commitments. We believe making general partner commitments assists us in raising new funds from limited partners by demonstrating our conviction in a given fund's strategy. Our commitments to fund capital also occurs where we are the holder of the subordinated notes or the equity tranche of investment vehicles that we sponsor, including structured transactions. We also use our balance sheet to bridge investment activity during fundraising, for example by funding investments for new funds and acquiring investments to establish a track record for new investment strategies. We also use our own capital to bridge capital selectively for our funds' investments or finance strategic transactions, although the financial results of an acquired business may be reported in our other business lines. Our Principal Activities business line also provides the required capital to fund the various commitments of our Capital Markets business line when underwriting or syndicating securities, or when providing term loan commitments for transactions involving our portfolio companies and for third parties. Our Principal Activities business line also holds assets that are utilized to satisfy regulatory requirements for our Capital Markets business line and risk retention requirements for certain investment vehicles.
We also make opportunistic investments through our Principal Activities business
line, which include co-investments alongside the funds we manage as well as
Principal Activities investments that do not involve our funds.
We endeavor to use our balance sheet strategically and opportunistically to
generate an attractive risk-adjusted return on equity in a manner that is
consistent with our fiduciary duties, in compliance with applicable laws, and
consistent with our one-firm approach.

Insurance
Our insurance business is operated by Global Atlantic, which we acquired onFebruary 1, 2021 . As ofJune 30, 2022 , KKR owns a 61.5% economic interest in Global Atlantic with the balance of Global Atlantic owned by third-party investors and Global Atlantic employees. Following the Global Atlantic acquisition, Global Atlantic continues to operate as a separate business with its existing brands and management team. Since the first quarter of 2021, we have presented Global Atlantic's financial results as a separate reportable segment. GlobalAtlantic is a leadingU.S. retirement and life insurance company that provides a broad suite of protection, legacy and savings products to customers and reinsurance solutions to clients across individual and institutional markets. GlobalAtlantic focuses on target markets that it believes supports issuing products that have attractive risk and return characteristics. These markets allow Global Atlantic to leverage its strength in distribution and to deploy capital opportunistically across market conditions. GlobalAtlantic primarily offers individual market customers fixed-rate annuities, fixed-indexed annuities, and targeted life products through a network of banks, broker-dealers, and insurance agencies. GlobalAtlantic provides its institutional market clients customized reinsurance solutions, including block, flow and pension risk transfer ("PRT") reinsurance, as well as funding agreements. Subject to changes in asset values, Global Atlantic's assets generally increase when individual market sales and reinsurance transactions exceed run-off of in-force policies. GlobalAtlantic primarily generates income by earning a spread between its investment income and the cost of policyholder benefits. As ofJune 30, 2022 , Global Atlantic served approximately three million policyholders. GlobalAtlantic inflows are derived from new business production in its individual and institutional markets channels. GlobalAtlantic expects new business production from its individual markets channel and certain institutional markets products to be largely consistent quarter over quarter while exhibiting growth over time, subject to market and business risks. In contrast, Global Atlantic expects block reinsurance transactions generated in the institutional markets channel to be episodic rather than steady quarter over quarter. Similarly, funding agreements issued in the funding agreement backed note ("FABN") program are subject to capital markets conditions and are not expected to be consistent quarter over quarter. The following table represents Global Atlantic's new business volumes by business and product for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021(4) ($ in millions) Individual market channel: Fixed-rate annuities$ 1,481 $ 1,545 $ 2,520 $ 2,583 Fixed-indexed annuities 1,117 901 2,021 1,496 Variable annuities 11 15 22 23

During the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 ,the United States showed signs of slowing economic activity, potentially indicating the early stages of a recession. Inflation continued to present a headwind for theU.S. economy. In keeping with its stated intention to bring down inflation, theU.S. Federal Reserve pursued a more restrictive monetary policy. TheFederal Reserve raised interest rates by 50 basis points in May, 75 basis points in June and 75 basis points in July, leading to increased market volatility. Inthe United States , real GDP is estimated to have expanded at a 0.4% seasonally-adjusted annualized rate in the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 , after contracting at a -1.6% seasonally-adjusted annualized rate in the quarter endedMarch 31, 2022 ; theU.S. unemployment rate was 3.6% as ofJune 30, 2022 , unchanged fromMarch 31, 2022 ; theU.S. consumer price index rose 9.1% year-over-year as ofJune 30, 2022 , up from 8.5% year-over-year as ofMarch 31, 2022 ; theU.S. core consumer price index rose 5.9% on a year-over-year basis as ofJune 30, 2022 , down from 6.5% on a year-over-year basis as ofMarch 31, 2022 ; and the effective federal funds rate set by theU.S. Federal Reserve was 1.6% as ofJune 30, 2022 , up from 0.3% as ofMarch 31, 2022 . During the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 , the Euro Area (also known as theEurozone ) economy experienced slowing growth and the potential for recession for countries in the Euro Area is generally high. TheEuropean Central Bank (ECB) has signaled its intention to pursue a more restrictive monetary policy.Euro Area real GDP is estimated to have risen by 0.1% on a seasonally-adjusted quarter-over-quarter basis in the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 , lower than the 0.6% increase recorded in the quarter endedMarch 31, 2022 . In addition,Euro Area unemployment was estimated to be 6.6% as ofJune 30, 2022 , down from 6.8% as ofMarch 31, 2022 ; euro area core inflation was 3.7% as ofJune 30, 2022 , up from 3.0% as ofMarch 31, 2022 ; and the short-term benchmark interest rate set by theEuropean Central Bank was 0.0% as ofJune 30, 2022 , unchanged fromMarch 31, 2022 . As ofJune 30, 2022 , we have no investments in any portfolio companies whose executive headquarters are located inRussia ,Ukraine orBelarus , and we believe that the direct exposure of our investment portfolio toRussia ,Ukraine andBelarus is insignificant. During the quarter endedJune 30, 2020 , the Chinese economy contracted due in part from the ongoing slowdown inChina's property sector and the effects of the government's zero-COVID policies. Real GDP inChina fell by 2.6% on a seasonally-adjusted quarter-over-quarter basis in the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to growth of 1.4% reported for the quarter endedMarch 31, 2022 . Estimated core inflation inChina was 1.0% on a year-over-year basis as ofJune 30, 2022 , down from 1.1% on a year-over-year basis as ofMarch 31, 2022 . InJapan , the economic recovery from COVID-19 has slowed, with higher energy costs and significant volatility in currency markets presenting headwinds to GDP growth. InJapan , real GDP growth for the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 is estimated to have been 1.0% on a seasonally-adjusted annualized basis, unchanged from the quarter endedMarch 31, 2022 ; core inflation rose to 0.2% on a year-over-year basis as ofJune 30, 2022 , up from -1.6% as ofMarch 31, 2022 ; and the short-term benchmark interest rate set by the Bank of Japan was -0.1% as ofJune 30, 2022 , unchanged fromMarch 31, 2022 . These and other key issues could have repercussions across regional and global financial markets, which could adversely affect the valuations of our investments. In particular, in response to persistent inflationary pressure and central bank policy designed to combat inflation, short- and medium-term interest rates may continue to rise, which may adversely impact equity and credit markets and in turn both increase volatility in equity and debt markets and reduce economic growth. As noted above, theU.S. Federal Reserve has recently raised interest rates and has indicated that it is prepared to take decisive action to manage inflation, including raising interest rates further and shrinking the size of its balance sheet. In addition, commodity prices are generally expected to rise in inflationary environments, and foreign exchange rates are often affected by countries' monetary and fiscal responses to inflationary trends. TheRussia -Ukraine conflict, including the sanctions imposed in response toRussia's invasion ofUkraine , have exacerbated and may further exacerbate these issues and trends. Protectionist policies have also increased globally as a result of the Russian invasion ofUkraine . Other key issues include (i) further developments regarding infectious diseases, including COVID-19, which may prolong the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on theU.S. and global economies, including supply chain disruptions that promote cost inflation for critical goods and labor shortages, (ii) geopolitical uncertainty such asU.S. -China relations, (iii) political uncertainty caused by, among other things, economic nationalist sentiments, tensions surrounding socioeconomic inequality issues, and partisan sentiments inthe United States , all of which have potentially global ramifications with regards to policy, (iv) regulatory changes regarding, for example, taxation, international trade, cross-border investments, immigration, stimulus programs and rising levels of debt, (v) increased volatility and/or downturn in equity or credit markets, (vi) unexpected shifts in central banks' monetary policies, and (vii) technological advancements and innovations that may disrupt marketplaces and businesses. For a further discussion of how market conditions may affect our businesses, see "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-Difficult market and economic conditions can adversely affect our business in many ways, including by reducing the value or performance of the investments that we manage or by reducing the ability of our funds to raise or deploy capital, each of which could negatively impact our net income and cash flow and adversely affect our financial condition" in our Annual Report. In addition, members ofU.S. Congress andNew York State are proposing (and after the date of this report may propose other) various significant changes in tax law, including 116
——————————————————————————–

significant changes in the wayU.S. corporations like ourselves and many of ourU.S. portfolio companies are taxed. If enacted, these changes could materially increase the amount of taxes we and our portfolio companies are required to pay. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-Changes in relevant tax laws, regulations or treaties or an adverse interpretation of these items by tax authorities could adversely impact our effective tax rate and tax liability" in our Annual Report. Equity and Credit Markets. Global equity and credit markets have a substantial effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In general, a climate of reasonable interest rates and high levels of liquidity in the debt and equity capital markets provide a positive environment for us to generate attractive investment returns, which also impacts our ability to generate incentive fees and carried interest. Periods of volatility and dislocation in the capital markets raise substantial risks, but also can present us with opportunities to invest at reduced valuations that position us for future growth and investment returns. Low interest rates related to monetary stimulus and economic stagnation may negatively impact expected returns on all types of investments. Higher interest rates in conjunction with slower growth or weaker currencies in some emerging market economies have caused, and may further cause, the default risk of these countries to increase, and this could impact the operations or value of our investments that operate in these regions. Areas that have central bank quantitative easing or tightening campaigns affecting their interest rates relative tothe United States could potentially experience further currency volatility relative to theU.S. dollar. In our asset management business, many of our investments are in equities, so a change in global equity prices or in market volatility directly impacts the value of our investments and our profitability as well as our ability to realize investment gains and the receptiveness of fund investors to our investment products. For the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 , global equity markets were negative, with the S&P 500 down 16.1% and the MSCI World Index down 16.1% on a total return basis including dividends. Equity market volatility as evidenced by theChicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index (VIX), a measure of volatility, ended at 28.7 as ofJune 30, 2022 , increasing from 20.6 as ofMarch 31, 2022 . For a discussion of our valuation methods, see "Risk Factors-Risks Related to the Assets We Manage-Our investments are impacted by various economic conditions and events outside of our control that are difficult to quantify or predict, which may have a significant impact on the valuation of our investments and, therefore, on the investment income we realize and our results of operations and financial condition" and see also "-Critical Accounting Policies-Fair Value Measurements-Level III Valuation Methodologies" in our Annual Report. In our insurance business, a change in equity prices also impacts Global Atlantic's equity-sensitive annuity and life insurance products, including with respect to hedging costs related to and fee-income earned on those products. Many of our investments in asset management are in non-investment grade credit instruments and investment grade credit instruments. Our funds, our portfolio companies and Global Atlantic also rely on credit financing and the ability to refinance existing debt. Consequently, any decrease in the value of credit instruments that we have invested in or any increase in the cost of credit financing reduces our returns and decreases our net income. Higher interest rates, periods of changes in rates and lower rates each may result in differing impacts on Global Atlantic's business. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Global Atlantic- Interest rate fluctuations and sustained periods of low or high interest rates could adversely affect GlobalAtlantic's business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, cash flows and prospects" in our Annual Report. In our insurance segment, the majority of our investments are in investment grade credit instruments. Sales of those investments at a loss, for example as we rotate out of investments acquired with new reinsurance transactions during a period of rising rates, is expected to decrease our net income in that period. In addition, in our insurance segment, rising interest rates is expected to decrease the fair value of credit investments and may decrease the value of embedded derivatives associated with funds withheld reinsurance transactions, resulting in unrealized losses reported in AOCI. However, we do not expect to incur these unrealized losses as we intend to hold the investments to maturity as part of our asset liability cashflow matching strategy. Based on our review of applicable factors, we determined that it was not more likely than not that goodwill in the insurance segment was impaired. However, if the market, industry and company-specific factors relating to these investments deteriorate meaningfully, Global Atlantic may be required to recognize an impairment to goodwill, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Due in part to holdings of credit instruments such as CLOs on our balance sheet, the performance of the credit markets has had an amplified impact on our financial results, as we directly bear the full extent of losses from credit instruments on our balance sheet. Credit markets can also impact valuations because a discounted cash flow analysis is generally used as one of the methodologies to ascertain the fair value of our investments that do not have readily observable market prices. In addition, with respect to our credit instruments, tightening credit spreads are generally expected to lead to an increase, and widening credit spreads are generally expected to lead to a decrease, in the value of these credit investments, if not offset by hedging or other factors. In addition, the significant widening of credit spreads is also typically expected to negatively impact equity markets, which in turn would negatively impact our portfolio and us as noted above. Conversely, widening credit spreads may have a positive impact on our insurance business, as the margin Global Atlantic is able to earn between crediting rates offered on its insurance products and the investment income it earns from its credit investments could increase, and tightening credit spreads 117

may negatively impact the pricing and therefore competitiveness of Global
Atlantic’s products, adversely impacting sales and growth, or may negatively
impact the margins that Global Atlantic earns on sales and transactions.
During the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 ,U.S. investment grade corporate bond spreads (BofA Merrill Lynch US Corporate Index) widened by 42 basis points andU.S. high-yield corporate bond spreads (BofAML HY Master II Index) widened by 244 basis points. The non-investment grade credit indices were down during the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 , with the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index down 4.5% and the BAML US High Yield Index down 10%. During the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 , 10-year government bond yields rose 67 basis points inthe United States , rose 62 basis points in theUnited Kingdom , rose 79 basis points inGermany , rose 3 basis points inChina , and rose 1 basis point inJapan . For a further discussion of how market conditions may affect our businesses, see "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-Difficult market and economic conditions can adversely affect our business in many ways, including by reducing the value or performance of the investments that we manage or by reducing the ability of our funds to raise or deploy capital, each of which could negatively impact our net income and cash flow and adversely affect our financial condition" and "Risk Factors-Risks Related to the Assets We Manage-Our investments are impacted by various economic conditions and events outside of our control that are difficult to quantify or predict, which may have a significant impact on the valuation of our investments and, therefore, on the investment income we realize and our results of operations and financial condition" in our Annual Report. For further discussion of the impact of global credit markets on our financial condition and results of operations, see "Risk Factors-Risks Related to the Assets We Manage-Changes in the debt financing markets may negatively impact the ability of our investment funds, their portfolio companies and strategies pursued with our balance sheet assets to obtain attractive financing for their investments or to refinance existing debt and may increase the cost of such financing or refinancing if it is obtained, which could lead to lower-yielding investments and potentially decrease our net income," "Risk Factors-Risks Related to the Assets We Manage-Our investments are impacted by various economic conditions and events outside of our control that are difficult to quantify or predict, which may have a significant impact on the valuation of our investments and, therefore, on the investment income we realize and our results of operations and financial condition," "Risk Factors-Risks Related to the Assets We Manage-Our funds and our firm through our balance sheet may make a limited number of investments, or investments that are concentrated in certain issuers, geographic regions or asset types, which could negatively affect our performance or the performance of our funds to the extent those concentrated assets perform poorly" and "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Global Atlantic-Interest rate fluctuations and sustained periods of low or high interest rates could adversely affect Global Atlantic's business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, cash flows and prospects" in our Annual Report. For a further discussion of our valuation methods, see "-Critical Accounting Policies-Fair Value Measurements-Level III Valuation Methodologies." Foreign Exchange Rates. Foreign exchange rates have a substantial impact on the valuations of our investments that are denominated in currencies other than theU.S. dollar. Currency volatility can also affect our businesses and investments that deal in cross-border trade. The appreciation or depreciation of theU.S. dollar is expected to contribute to a decrease or increase, respectively, in theU.S. dollar value of our non-U.S. investments to the extent unhedged. In addition, an appreciatingU.S. dollar would be expected to make the exports ofU.S. based companies less competitive, which may lead to a decline in their export revenues, if any, while a depreciatingU.S. dollar would be expected to have the opposite effect. Moreover, when selecting investments for our investment funds that are denominated inU.S. dollars, an appreciatingU.S. dollar may create opportunities to invest at more attractiveU.S. dollar prices in certain countries outside ofthe United States , while a depreciatingU.S. dollar would be expected to have the opposite effect. For our investments denominated in currencies other than theU.S. dollar, the depreciation in such currencies will generally contribute to the decrease in the valuation of such investments, to the extent unhedged, and adversely affect theU.S. dollar equivalent revenues of portfolio companies with substantial revenues denominated in such currencies, while the appreciation in such currencies would be expected to have the opposite effect. For the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 , the euro fell 5.3%, the British pound fell 7.3%, the Japanese yen fell 10.3%, and the Chinese renminbi fell 5.4%, respectively, relative to theU.S. dollar. For additional information regarding our foreign exchange rate risk, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk-Exchange Rate Risk" in our Annual Report. LIBOR Transition. OnMarch 15, 2022 , the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, which includes the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act of 2021, was signed into law inthe United States . This legislation establishes a uniform benchmark replacement mechanic for financial contracts that mature afterJune 30, 2023 which do not contain either clearly defined or practicable fallback provisions or are contractually silent on a benchmark replacement rate. The legislation also creates a safe harbor that shields involved parties from liability if they choose to utilize a replacement rate recommended by theBoard of Governors of theFederal Reserve . For a discussion of the LIBOR transition that will impact certain debt obligations, see Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Adoption of new accounting pronouncements-Reference rate reform" in our financial statements and for a discussion of the risks related to the LIBOR transition, see "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business - Transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark reference for interest rates may affect the cost of capital and requires amending or restructuring existing debt instruments and related hedging arrangements for us, our investment funds and our 118

portfolio companies, and may impact the value of floating rate securities or loans based on LIBOR that we or our investment funds have held, all of which may result in additional costs or adversely affect our or our funds' liquidity, results of results of operations and financial condition" in our Annual Report. Commodity Markets. Our Real Assets business line portfolio contains energy real asset investments, and certain of our other Private Equity, Real Assets and Credit and Liquid Strategies business line strategies have investments in or related to the energy sector. The value of these investments is heavily influenced by the price of natural gas and oil. As noted above, the actions taken byRussia in theUkraine starting inFebruary 2022 have also caused volatility in the commodities markets. During the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 , the 3-year forward price of WTI crude oil increased approximately 1%, and the 3-year forward price of natural gas increased approximately 16%. The 3-year forward price of WTI crude oil increased from approximately$72.85 per barrel to$73.46 per barrel, and the 3-year forward price of natural gas increased from approximately$3.77 per mcf to$4.36 per mcf as ofMarch 31, 2022 andJune 30, 2022 , respectively. When commodity prices decline or if a decline is not offset by other factors, we would expect the value of our energy real asset investments to be adversely impacted, to the extent unhedged. In general, we expect downward price movements to have a negative impact on the fair value of our energy portfolio, all other things being equal, given those commodity prices are an input in our valuation models. The reverse is true for upward price movements. However, because we typically use near-term commodity derivative transactions to hedge our exposures, we expect long-term oil and natural gas prices to be a more significant driver of the valuation of our energy investments in asset management than spot prices. In addition, to the extent energy real asset investments are directly held by our balance sheet, price movements can have an amplified impact on our financial results, as we would directly bear the full extent of such gains or losses, subject to hedging. However, as ofJune 30, 2022 , energy investments in oil and gas assets made up only approximately 1% of our assets under management, 1% of our total GAAP assets and 1% of our total segment assets. For additional information regarding our energy real assets, see "-Critical Accounting Policies-Fair Value Measurements-Level III Valuation Methodologies-Real Asset Investments" and see also "Risk Factors-Risks Related to the Assets We Manage-Our funds and our firm through our balance sheet may make a limited number of investments, or investments that are concentrated in certain issuers, geographic regions or asset types, which could negatively affect our performance or the performance of our funds to the extent those concentrated assets perform poorly" in our Annual Report.
Business Conditions
Our operating revenues consist of fees, performance income, investment income
and other operating income.
Our ability to grow our revenues depends in part on our ability to attract new
capital and investors, our successful deployment of capital including from our
balance sheet and our ability to realize investments at a profit.
Our ability to attract new capital and investors. Our ability to attract new
capital and investors in our funds is driven, in part, by the extent to which
they continue to see the alternative asset management industry generally, and
our investment products specifically, as attractive means for capital
appreciation or income. In addition, our ability to attract new capital and
investors in our insurance business is driven, in part, by the extent to which
they continue to see the life and annuity insurance industry generally, and in
certain cases our reinsurance vehicles, as attractive means for capital
appreciation or income. Since 2010, we have expanded into strategies such as
real assets, credit, core, growth and, through hedge fund partnerships, hedge
funds, and insurance. We have also reached out to new fund investors, including
retail and high net worth investors. However, fundraising continues to be
competitive. While our Asian Fund IV, European Fund V, North America Fund XIII,
Real Estate Partners Americas III, Real Estate Partners Europe II, Global
Infrastructure Investors IV, Next Generation Technology Growth Fund II and
Health Care Strategic Growth Fund II exceeded the size of their respective
predecessor funds, there is no assurance that fundraises for our other flagship
investment funds or vehicles or for our newer strategies and their successor
funds will experience similar success. If we are unable to successfully raise
comparably sized or larger funds, our AUM, FPAUM, and associated fees
attributable to new capital raised in future periods may be lower than in prior
years. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-Our inability to raise
additional or successor funds (or raise successor funds of a comparable size as
our predecessor funds) could have a material adverse impact on our business" in
our Annual Report.

Table of Contents
Our ability to successfully deploy capital. Our ability to maintain and grow our revenue base is dependent upon our ability to successfully deploy the capital available to us as well as our participation in capital markets transactions. Greater competition, high valuations, increased overall cost of credit and other general market conditions may impact our ability to identify and execute attractive investments. Additionally, because we seek to make investments that have an ability to achieve our targeted returns while taking on a reasonable level of risk, we may experience periods of reduced investment activity. We have a long-term investment horizon and the capital deployed in any one quarter may vary significantly from the capital deployed in any other quarter or the quarterly average of capital deployed in any given year. Reduced levels of transaction activity also tends to result in reduced potential future investment gains, lower transaction fees and lower fees for our capital markets business line, which may earn fees in the syndication of equity or debt. In our insurance business, we deploy capital by investing in assets that are anticipated to generate net investment income in excess of the net cost of insurance. If we are unable to originate or source attractive investments, the success and growth in revenues of our insurance business will be adversely impacted. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to the Assets We Manage-Changes in the debt financing markets may negatively impact the ability of our investment funds, their portfolio companies and strategies pursued with our balance sheet assets to obtain attractive financing for their investments or to refinance existing debt and may increase the cost of such financing or refinancing if it is obtained, which could lead to lower-yielding investments and potentially decrease our net income" in our Annual Report. Our ability to realize investments. Challenging market and economic conditions may adversely affect our ability to exit and realize value from our investments and result in lower-than-expected returns. Although the equity markets are not the only means by which we exit investments from our funds, the strength and liquidity of theU.S. and relevant global equity markets generally, and the initial public offering market specifically, affect the valuation of, and our ability to successfully exit, our equity positions in the portfolio companies of our funds in a timely manner. We may also realize investments through strategic sales. When financing is not available or becomes too costly, it may be more difficult to find a buyer that can successfully raise sufficient capital to purchase our investments. In addition, volatile debt and equity markets may also make the exit of our investments more difficult to execute. In our insurance business, we depend on the ability of our investments to generate their anticipated returns, through the payment of interest and dividends and interest as well as return of principal, in the amounts and at the times that we expect them to be made in order to manage our obligations to make payments to our policyholders. If policyholder behavior differs from our expectations, we may be forced to sell our investments earlier than we anticipated and during market conditions where we may realize losses on the investment. In addition, material delays in payments or impairments to our anticipated investment returns could have material adverse effects to our results of operations. For additional information about how business environment and market conditions affect GlobalAtlantic , see "-Global Atlantic's Investment Portfolio."
Basis of Accounting
We consolidate the financial results ofKKR Group Partnership and its consolidated entities, which include the accounts of our investment advisers, broker-dealers, Global Atlantic's insurance companies, the general partners of certain unconsolidated investment funds, general partners of consolidated investment funds and their respective consolidated investment funds and certain other entities including collateralized financing entities ("CFEs"). When an entity is consolidated, we reflect the accounts of the consolidated entity, including its assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, investment income, cash flows and other amounts, on a gross basis. While the consolidation of an investment fund or entity does not have an effect on the amounts of Net Income Attributable to KKR or KKR's stockholders' equity that KKR reports, the consolidation does significantly impact the financial statement presentation under GAAP. This is due to the fact that the accounts of the consolidated entities are reflected on a gross basis while the allocable share of those amounts that are attributable to third parties are reflected as single line items. The single line items in which the accounts attributable to third parties are recorded are presented as noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of financial condition and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of operations. The presentation in the financial statements reflect the significant industry diversification of KKR by its acquisition of Global Atlantic. GlobalAtlantic operates an insurance business, and KKR operates an asset management business, each of which possess distinct characteristics. As a result, KKR developed a two-tiered presentation approach for the financial statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis. KKR believes that these separate presentations provide a more informative view of the consolidated financial position and results of operations than traditional aggregated presentations. KKR believes that reporting Global Atlantic's insurance operations separately is appropriate given, among other factors, the relative significance of GlobalAtlantic's policy liabilities, which are not obligations of KKR (other than the insurance companies that issued them). If a traditional aggregated presentation were to be used, KKR would expect to eliminate or combine several 120

Table of Contents
identical or similar captions, which would condense the presentations but would reduce transparency. KKR also believes that using a traditional aggregated presentation would result in no new line items compared to the two-tier presentation included in the financial statements in this report. We acquired Global Atlantic onFebruary 1, 2021 ; accordingly, the results of GlobalAtlantic's insurance operations included in our consolidated results of operations for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 are fromFebruary 1, 2021 (the closing date of the acquisition) throughJune 30, 2021 . All the intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The summary of the significant accounting policies has been organized considering the two-tiered approach described above and includes a section for common accounting policies and an accounting policy section for each of the two tiers when a policy is specific to one of the tiers.
For a further discussion about our critical accounting policies, see
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations-Critical Accounting Policies” in the 2021 Form 10-K and Note 2
“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our financial statements.
Key Financial Measures Under GAAP – Asset Management
The following discussion of key financial measures under GAAP is based on KKR’s
asset management business as of
Revenues
Fees and Other
Fees and other consist primarily of (i) management and incentive fees from providing investment management services to unconsolidated funds, CLOs, other vehicles, and separately managed accounts; (ii) transaction fees earned in connection with successful investment transactions and from capital markets activities; (iii) monitoring fees from providing services to portfolio companies; (iv) expense reimbursements from certain investment funds and portfolio companies; and (v) consulting fees. These fees are based on the contractual terms of the governing agreements and are recognized when earned, which coincides with the period during which the related services are performed and in the case of transaction fees, upon closing of the transaction. Monitoring fees may provide for a termination payment following an initial public offering or change of control. These termination payments are recognized in the period when the related transaction closes.
Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss)
Capital allocation-based income (loss) is earned from those arrangements whereby KKR serves as general partner and includes income or loss from KKR's capital interest as well as "carried interest" which entitles KKR to a disproportionate allocation of investment income or loss from an investment fund's limited partners. Expenses Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and Benefits expense includes (i) base cash compensation consisting
of salaries and wages, (ii) benefits, (iii) carry pool allocations, (iv)
equity-based compensation, and (v) discretionary cash bonuses.
To supplement base cash compensation, benefits, carry pool allocations, and equity-based compensation, we typically pay discretionary cash bonuses, which are included in Compensation and Benefits expense in the consolidated statements of operations, based principally on the level of (i) management fees and other fee revenues (including incentive fees), (ii) realized carried interest and (iii) realized investment income earned during the year. The amounts paid as discretionary cash bonuses, if any, are at our sole discretion and vary from individual to individual and from period to period, including having no cash bonus. We accrue discretionary cash bonuses when payment becomes probable and reasonably estimable which is generally in the period when we make the decision to pay discretionary cash bonuses and is based upon a number of factors, including the recognition of fee revenues, realized carried interest, realized investment income and other factors determined during the year.
Beginning in 2021, we expect to pay our employees by assigning a percentage
range to each component of asset management segment revenues. Based on the
current components and blend of our asset management segment revenues on an
annual basis, we expect to use approximately: (i) 2025% of fee related
revenues, (ii) 6070% of realized carried interest and incentive fees not
included in fee related performance revenues or earned from our hedge fund
partnerships, and (iii) 1020% of
121
——————————————————————————–
Table of Contents
realized investment income and hedge fund partnership incentive fees to pay our asset management employees. Because these ranges are applied to applicable distributable revenue components independently, and on an annual basis, the amount paid as a percentage of total distributable revenues will vary and will, for example, likely be higher in a period with relatively higher realized carried interest and lower in a period with relatively lower realized carried interest. We decide whether to pay a discretionary cash bonus and determine the percentage of applicable revenue components to pay compensation only upon the occurrence of the realization event. There is no contractual or other binding obligation that requires us to pay a discretionary cash bonus to the asset management employees, except in limited circumstances. Assuming that we had accrued compensation of (i) 65% of the unrealized carried interest earned by the funds that allocate 40% and 43% to the carry pool and (ii) 15% of the unrealized net gains in our Principal Activities business line (in each case at the mid-point of the ranges above),KKR & Co. Inc. Stockholders' Equity - Series I Preferred, Common Stock as ofJune 30, 2022 would have been reduced by approximately$1.79 per share, compared to our reported$20.88 per share on such date, and our book value as ofJune 30, 2022 would have been reduced by approximately$1.74 per adjusted share, compared to our reported book value of$26.78 per adjusted share on such date.
Carry Pool Allocation
With respect to our funds that provide for carried interest, we allocate a portion of the realized and unrealized carried interest that we earn to a carry pool established atKKR Associates Holdings L.P. , which is not a KKR subsidiary, from which our asset management employees and certain other carry pool participants are eligible to receive a carried interest allocation. The allocation is determined based upon a fixed arrangement betweenKKR Associates Holdings and us, and we do not exercise discretion on whether to make an allocation to the carry pool upon a realization event. These amounts are accounted for as compensatory profit sharing arrangements in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities within the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition in conjunction with the related carried interest income and are recorded as compensation expense. Upon a reversal of carried interest income, the related carry pool allocation, if any, is also reversed. Accordingly, such compensation expense is subject to both positive and negative adjustments. InFebruary 2021 , with the approval of a majority of our independent directors, KKR amended the percentage of carried interest that is allocable to the carry pool to 65% for (i) current investment funds for which no or de minimis amounts of carried interest was accrued as ofDecember 31, 2020 and (ii) all future funds. For all other funds, the percentage of carried interest remains 40% or 43%, as applicable. The percentage of carried interest allocable to the carry pool may be increased above 65% only with the approval of a majority of our independent directors. To account for the difference in the carry pool allocation percentages, we expect to use a portion of realized carried interest from the older funds equal to the difference between 65% and 40% or 43%, as applicable, to supplement the carry pool and to pay amounts as discretionary cash bonus compensation as described above to our asset management employees. The amounts paid as discretionary cash bonuses, if any, are at our discretion and vary from individual to individual and from period to period, including having no cash bonus at all for certain employees. See "-Critical Accounting Policies - Asset Management-Recognition of Carried Interest in the Statement of Operations" and "-Key Financial Measures Under GAAP - Asset Management-Expenses-Compensation and Benefits." On the Sunset Date (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement), KKR will acquire control ofKKR Associates Holdings and will commence making decisions regarding the allocation of carry proceeds pursuant to the limited partnership agreement ofKKR Associates Holdings . Until the Sunset Date, our Co-Founders will continue to make decisions regarding the allocation of carry proceeds to themselves and others, pursuant to the limited partnership agreement ofKKR Associates Holdings , provided that any allocation of carry proceeds to the Co-Founders will be on a percentage basis consistent with past practice.
Equity-based Compensation
In addition to the cash-based compensation and carry pool allocations as
described above, employees receive equity awards under our Equity Incentive
Plans, most of which are subject to service-based vesting typically over a three
to five-year period from the date of grant, and some of which are also subject
to the achievement of market-based conditions. Certain of these awards are
subject to post-vesting transfer restrictions and minimum retained ownership
requirements.

Table of Contents
General, Administrative and Other
General, administrative and other expense consists primarily of professional
fees paid to legal advisors, accountants, advisors and consultants, insurance
costs, travel and related expenses, communications and information services,
depreciation and amortization charges, CLOs and investment funds that were
consolidated, costs incurred in connection with pursuing potential investments
that do not result in completed transactions ("broken-deal expenses"), expense
reimbursements, placement fees and other general operating expenses. A portion
of these general administrative and other expenses, in particular broken-deal
expenses, are borne by fund investors.
Investment Income (Loss)
Net gains (losses) from investment activities consist of realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from our investment activities as well as income earned from certain equity method investments. Fluctuations in net gains (losses) from investment activities between reporting periods is driven primarily by changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as well as the realization of investments. The fair value of, as well as the ability to recognize gains from, our investments is significantly impacted by the global financial markets, which, in turn, affects the net gains (losses) from investment activities recognized in any given period. Upon the disposition of an investment, previously recognized unrealized gains and losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period. Since our investments are carried at fair value, fluctuations between periods could be significant due to changes to the inputs to our valuation process over time. For a further discussion of our fair value measurements and fair value of investments, see "-Critical Accounting Policies - Combined-Fair Value Measurements."
Dividend Income
Dividend income consists primarily of distributions that we and our consolidated investment funds receive from portfolio companies or real assets investments in which we and our consolidated investment funds invest. Dividend income is recognized primarily in connection with (i) dispositions of operations by portfolio companies, (ii) distributions of cash generated from operations from portfolio investments or real assets investments, and (iii) other significant refinancings undertaken by portfolio investments.
Interest Income
Interest income consists primarily of interest that is received on our credit instruments in which we and our consolidated investment funds, CLOs and other entities invest as well as interest on our cash and other investments.
Interest Expense
Interest expense is incurred from (i) debt issued by KKR, including debt issued
by KFN, (ii) credit facilities entered into by KKR, (iii) debt securities issued
by consolidated CFEs, (iv) financing arrangements at our majority owned
investment vehicles that have been funded with borrowings that are
collateralized by the investments and assets they own and (v) financing
arrangements at our consolidated funds entered into primarily with the objective
of managing cash flow. KFN's debt obligations are non-recourse to KKR beyond the
assets of KFN. Debt securities issued by consolidated CFEs are supported solely
by the investments held at the CFE and are not collateralized by assets of any
other KKR entity. Our obligations under financing arrangements at our
consolidated investment funds are generally limited to our pro rata equity
interest in such funds. However, in some circumstances, we may provide limited
guarantees of the obligations of our general partners in an amount equal to its
pro rata equity interest in such funds. Our management companies bear no
obligations with respect to financing arrangements at our consolidated funds. We
also may provide other kinds of guarantees. See "-Liquidity."

Key Financial Measures Under GAAP – Insurance
The following discussion of key financial measures under GAAP is based on KKR’s
insurance business as conducted by Global Atlantic as of
Revenues
Premiums
Premiums primarily relate to payout annuities with life contingencies and whole life and term life insurance policies, recognized when due from the policyholders. Premiums are reported net of premiums ceded under reinsurance agreements. Policy fees
Policy fees include charges assessed against policyholder account balances for
mortality, administration, separate account, benefit rider and surrender fees.
Net investment income
Net investment income reflects the income earned on our investments, net of any associated investment expenses (including management fees charged by the asset management segment) and net of ceded amounts under reinsurance agreements. Net investment income includes, amongst other things (i) interest earned on our fixed income available-for-sale and fixed-income trading investments, (ii) interest income and other related fees from our mortgage and other loan receivables, (iii) interest on funds withheld at interest receivables, (iv) proportional share of income from equity-method investments and (v) income from physical assets, such as renewable energy plants, real estate, railcars, and airplanes (net of depreciation and operating expenses).
Net investment-related gains
Net investment-related gains primarily consists of (i) realized gains and losses
from the disposal of investments, including realized gains and losses on the
disposal of investments not related to asset/liability matching strategies
("variable investment income"), (ii) unrealized gains and losses from
investments held for trading, real estate investments accounted under investment
company accounting, and investments with fair value re-measurements recognized
in earnings as a result of the election of a fair-value option, (iii) unrealized
gains and losses on funds withheld at interest receivable and payable, (iv)
unrealized gains and losses from derivatives not designated in an hedging
relationship and (v) allowances for credit losses, and other impairments of
investments.
Other income
Other income is primarily comprised of expense allowances on ceded reinsurance,
administration, management fees and distribution fees.
Expenses
Policy benefits and claims
Policy benefits and claims represent the current period expense associated with providing insurance benefits to policyholders, including claims and benefits paid, interest credited to policyholders, changes in policy liability reserves (including fair value reserves), amortization of cost of reinsurance liabilities, and amortization of deferred sales inducements.
Amortization of policy acquisition costs
Amortization of policy acquisition costs primarily consist of amortization of
value of business acquired and deferred policy acquisition costs.
Insurance expense
Insurance expenses are primarily comprised of commissions expense, net of
amounts capitalized, reinsurance ceding allowances, premium taxes, amortization
of acquired intangibles and captive financing charges.

Table of Contents
Interest expense
Interest expense is incurred from insurance segment debt issued, including
related interest rate swaps, credit facilities and other financing agreements.
General, administrative and other
General, administrative and other expenses are primarily comprised of employee
compensation and benefit expenses, third-party administrator ("TPA") policy
servicing fees, administrative and professional services, and other operating
expenses.
Other Key Financial Measures Under GAAP
Income Taxes
KKR & Co. Inc. is a domestic corporation forU.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject toU.S. federal, state and local income taxes at the entity level on its share of taxable income. In addition,KKR Group Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries operate as partnerships forU.S. federal tax purposes but as taxable entities for certain state, local or non-U.S. tax purposes. Moreover, certain corporate subsidiaries of KKR, including certain Global Atlantic subsidiaries, are domestic corporations forU.S. federal income tax purposes and are subject toU.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions including evaluating uncertainties. We review our tax positions quarterly and adjust our tax balances as new information becomes available.
For a further discussion of our income tax policies, see Note 18 “Income Taxes”
in our financial statements.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily represents the ownership interests that certain third parties hold in entities that were consolidated in the financial statements as well as the ownership interests inKKR Group Partnership represented by exchangeable securities. The allocable share of income and expense attributable to these interests is accounted for as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Given the consolidation of certain of our investment funds and the significant ownership interests inKKR Group Partnership held byKKR Holdings , we expect a portion of net income (loss) will continue to be attributed to noncontrolling interests in our business.
For a further discussion of our noncontrolling interests policies, see Note 22
“Equity” in the financial statements.
Key Segment and Non-GAAP Performance Measures
The following key segment and non-GAAP performance measures are used by management in making operational and resource deployment decisions as well as assessing the performance of KKR's businesses. They include certain financial measures that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. These performance measures as described below are presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) betweenKKR & Co. Inc. and holders of exchangeable securities and as such represent the entire KKR business in total. In addition, these performance measures are presented without giving effect to the consolidation of the investment funds and CFEs that KKR manages. We believe that providing these segment and non-GAAP performance measures on a supplemental basis to our GAAP results is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall performance of KKR's business. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, where applicable are included under "-Reconciliations to GAAP Measures."
After-tax Distributable Earnings
After-tax distributable earnings is a non-GAAP performance measure of KKR's
earnings, which is derived from KKR's reported segment results. After-tax
distributable earnings is used to assess the performance of KKR's business
operations and measures the earnings potentially available for distribution to
its equity holders or reinvestment into its business. After-tax distributable
earnings is equal to Distributable Operating Earnings less Interest Expense, Net
Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests and Income Taxes Paid. Series C
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock dividends have been
125
——————————————————————————–
Table of Contents
excluded from After-tax Distributable Earnings, because the definition of Adjusted Shares used to calculate After-tax Distributable Earnings per Adjusted Share assumes that all shares of Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted to shares of common stock ofKKR & Co. Inc. Income Taxes Paid represents the amount of income taxes that would be paid assuming that all pre-tax distributable earnings were allocated toKKR & Co. Inc. and taxed at the same effective rate, which assumes that all exchangeable securities were exchanged for shares of common stock ofKKR & Co. Inc. Income Taxes Paid includes the benefit of tax deductions arising from equity-based compensation, which reduces income taxes paid or payable during the period. Equity based compensation expense is excluded from After-tax Distributable Earnings, because (i) KKR believes that the cost of equity awards granted to employees does not contribute to the earnings potentially available for distributions to its equity holders or reinvestment into its business and (ii) excluding this expense makes KKR's reporting metric more comparable to the corresponding metric presented by other publicly traded companies in KKR's industry, which KKR believes enhances an investor's ability to compare KKR's performance to these other companies. If tax deductions from equity-based compensation were to be excluded from Income Taxes Paid, KKR's After-tax Distributable Earnings would be lower and KKR's effective tax rate would appear to be higher, even though a lower amount of income taxes would have actually been paid or payable during the period. KKR separately discloses the amount of tax deduction from equity-based compensation for the period reported and the effect of its inclusion in After-tax Distributable Earnings for the period. KKR makes these adjustments when calculating After-tax Distributable Earnings in order to more accurately reflect the net realized earnings that are expected to be or become available for distribution to KKR's equity holders or reinvestment into KKR's business. However, After-tax Distributable Earnings does not represent and is not used to calculate actual dividends under KKR's dividend policy, which is a fixed amount per period, and After-tax Distributable Earnings should not be viewed as a measure of KKR's liquidity.
Book Value
Book Value is a non-GAAP performance measure of the net assets of KKR and is used by management primarily in assessing the unrealized value of KKR's net assets presented on a basis that (i) deconsolidates KKR's investment funds and CFEs that KKR manages, (ii) includes the net assets that are attributable to exchangeable securities, and (iii) includes KKR's ownership of the net assets of Global Atlantic. We believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the net assets of KKR excluding those net assets that are allocated to investors in KKR's investment funds and other noncontrolling interest holders. KKR's book value includes the net impact of KKR's tax assets and liabilities as prepared under GAAP. Prior to the Reorganization Mergers, KKR's book value included the implied amount of (1) tax assets and liabilities attributable toKKR Holdings L.P. as if it was subject to corporate income taxes and (2) the recognition of deferred tax liabilities relating to certain assets ofKKR Group Partnership L.P. that was expected to occur upon the completion of the Reorganization Mergers. Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock has been included in book value, because the definition of adjusted shares used to calculate book value per adjusted share assumes that all shares of Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted to shares of common stock ofKKR & Co. Inc. To calculate GlobalAtlantic book value and to make it more comparable with the corresponding metric presented by other publicly traded companies in Global Atlantic's industry, Global Atlantic book value excludes (i) accumulated other comprehensive income and (ii) accumulated change in fair value of reinsurance balances and related assets, net of deferred acquisition costs and income tax.
Distributable Operating Earnings
Distributable operating earnings is a non-GAAP performance measure that KKR
believes is useful to stockholders as it provides a supplemental measure of our
operating performance without taking into account items that KKR does not
believe arise from or relate directly to KKR's operations. Distributable
Operating Earnings excludes: (i) equity-based compensation charges, (ii)
amortization of acquired intangibles, (iii) strategic corporate
transaction-related charges and (iv) non-recurring items, if any. Strategic
corporate transaction-related items arise from corporate actions and consist
primarily of (i) impairments, (ii) non-monetary gains or losses on divestitures,
(iii) transaction costs from strategic acquisitions, and (iv) depreciation on
real estate that KKR owns and occupies. Inter-segment transactions are not
eliminated from segment results when management considers those transactions in
assessing the results of the respective segments. These transactions include (i)
management fees earned by KKR as the investment adviser for Global Atlantic
insurance companies and (ii) interest income and expense based on lending
arrangements where one or more KKR subsidiaries borrow from a Global Atlantic
insurance subsidiary. Inter-segment transactions are recorded by each segment
based on the definitive documents that contain arms' length terms and comply
with applicable regulatory requirements. Distributable Operating Earnings
represents operating earnings of KKR's Asset Management and Insurance segments,
which are comprised of the following:
•Asset Management Segment Operating Earnings is the segment profitability
measure used to make operating decisions and to assess the performance of the
Asset Management segment and is comprised of: (i) Fee Related Earnings, (ii)
Realized Performance Income, (iii) Realized Performance Income Compensation,
(iv) Realized Investment Income, and (v) Realized Investment Income
Compensation. Asset Management Segment Operating Earnings excludes (i)
126
——————————————————————————–
Table of Contents
unrealized carried interest, (ii) net unrealized gains (losses) on investments, and (iii) related unrealized carried interest. Management fees earned by KKR as the adviser, manager or sponsor for its investment funds, vehicles and accounts, including its Global Atlantic insurance companies and co-investment vehicles that participate in qualifying reinsurance transactions sourced by GlobalAtlantic (Ivy Re Limited andIvy Re II Limited ), which are , are included in Asset Management Segment Operating Earnings. •Insurance Segment Operating Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess the performance of the Insurance segment and is comprised of: (i) Net Investment Income, (ii)Net Cost of Insurance, (iii) General, Administrative, and Other Expenses, (iv) Income Taxes, and (v) Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. The non-operating adjustments made to derive Insurance Segment Operating Earnings eliminate the impact of: (i) realized (gains) losses related to asset/liability matching investments strategies, (ii) unrealized investment (gains) losses, (iii) changes in the fair value of derivatives, embedded derivatives, and fair value liabilities for fixed-indexed annuities, indexed universal life contracts and variable annuities, and (iv) the associated income tax effects of all exclusions from Insurance Segment Operating Earnings except for equity-based compensation expense. Insurance Segment Operating Earnings includes (i) realized gains and losses not related to asset/liability matching investments strategies and (ii) the investment management fee expenses that are earned by KKR as the investment adviser of the Global Atlantic insurance companies.
Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”)
Fee related earnings is a performance measure used to assess the Asset Management segment's generation of profits from revenues that are measured and received on a recurring basis and are not dependent on future realization events. KKR believes this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the profitability of KKR's fee generating asset management and capital markets businesses and other recurring revenue streams. FRE equals (i) Management Fees, including fees paid by the Insurance segment to the Asset Management segment and fees paid by certain insurance co-investment vehicles, (ii) Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net and (iii) Fee Related Performance Revenues, less (x) Fee Related Compensation, and (y) Other Operating Expenses. •Fee Related Performance Revenues refers to the realized portion of Incentive Fees from certain AUM that has an indefinite term and for which there is no immediate requirement to return invested capital to investors upon the realization of investments. Fee-related performance revenues consists of performance fees (i) to be received from our investment funds, vehicles and accounts on a recurring basis, and (ii) that are not dependent on a realization event involving investments held by the investment fund, vehicle or account.
•Fee Related Compensation refers to the compensation expense, excluding
equity-based compensation, paid from (i) Management Fees, (ii) Transaction and
Monitoring Fees, Net, and (iii) Fee Related Performance Revenues.
•Other Operating Expenses represents the sum of (i) occupancy and related
charges and (ii) other operating expenses.
Total Asset Management Segment Revenues
Total Asset Management Segment Revenues is a performance measure that represents the realized revenues of the Asset Management segment (which excludes unrealized carried interest and unrealized net gains (losses) on investments) and is the sum of (i) Management Fees, (ii) Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net, (iii) Fee Related Performance Revenues, (iv) Realized Performance Income, and (v) Realized Investment Income. KKR believes that this performance measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the realized revenues generated by KKR's Asset Management segment.
Other Terms and Capital Metrics
Adjusted Shares
Adjusted shares represents shares of common stock ofKKR & Co. Inc. outstanding under GAAP adjusted to include (i) the number of shares of common stock ofKKR & Co. Inc. assumed to be issuable upon conversion of the Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) shares of common stock ofKKR & Co. Inc. issuable upon exchange of all exchangeable securities. Weighted average adjusted shares is used in the calculation of After-tax Distributable Earnings per Adjusted Share, and Adjusted Shares is used in the calculation of Book Value per Adjusted Share. 127

Assets Under Management (“AUM”)
Assets under management represent the assets managed, advised or sponsored by KKR from which KKR is entitled to receive management fees or performance income (currently or upon a future event), general partner capital, and assets managed, advised or sponsored by our strategic BDC partnership and the hedge fund and other managers in which KKR holds an ownership interest. We believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the capital raising activities of KKR and its hedge fund and other managers and the overall activity in their investment funds and other managed or sponsored 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 and the Global Atlantic insurance companies; (ii) uncalled capital commitments from these funds, including uncalled capital commitments from which KKR is currently not earning management fees or performance income; (iii) the fair value of investments in KKR's co-investment vehicles; (iv) the par value of outstanding CLOs; (v) KKR's pro rata portion of the AUM of hedge fund and other managers in which KKR holds an ownership interest; (vi) all AUM of KKR's strategic BDC partnership; (vii) the acquisition cost of invested assets of certain non-US real estate investment trusts, and (viii) the value of other assets managed or sponsored by KKR. The pro rata portion of the AUM of hedge fund and other managers is calculated based on KKR's percentage ownership interest in such entities multiplied by such entity's respective AUM. KKR's definition of AUM (i) is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in the governing documents of the investment funds, vehicles, accounts or other entities whose capital is included in this definition, (ii) includes assets for which KKR does not act as an investment adviser, and (iii) is not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.
Capital Invested
Capital invested is the aggregate amount of capital invested by (i) KKR's investment funds and Global Atlantic insurance companies, (ii) KKR's Principal Activities business line as a co-investment, if any, alongside KKR's investment funds, and (iii) KKR's Principal Activities business line in connection with a syndication transaction conducted byKKR's Capital Markets business line, if any. Capital invested is used as a measure of investment activity at KKR during a given period. We believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides a measure of capital deployment across KKR's business lines. Capital invested includes investments made using investment financing arrangements like credit facilities, as applicable. Capital invested excludes (i) investments in certain leveraged credit strategies, (ii) capital invested by KKR's Principal Activities business line that is not a co-investment alongside KKR's investment funds, and (iii) capital invested by KKR's Principal Activities business line that is not invested in connection with a syndication transaction byKKR's Capital Markets business line. Capital syndicated byKKR's Capital Markets business line to third parties other than KKR's investment funds or Principal Activities business line is not included in capital invested.
Fee Paying AUM (“FPAUM”)
Fee paying AUM represents only the AUM from which KKR is entitled to receive management fees. We believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the capital base upon which KKR earns management fees. FPAUM is the sum of all of the individual fee bases that are used to calculate KKR's and its hedge fund and BDC partnership management fees and differs from AUM in the following respects: (i) assets and commitments from which KKR is not entitled to receive a management fee are excluded (e.g., assets and commitments with respect to which it is entitled to receive only performance income or is otherwise not currently entitled to receive a management fee) 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.
Uncalled Commitments
Uncalled commitments is the aggregate amount of 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. We
believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight
into the amount of capital that is available to KKR's investment funds and carry
paying co-investment vehicles to make future investments. Uncalled commitments
are not reduced for investments completed using fund-level investment financing
arrangements or investments we have committed to make but remain unfunded at the
reporting date.

Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations (GAAP Basis – Unaudited)
The following is a discussion of our consolidated results of operations on a GAAP basis for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affected our segment results in these periods, see "-Analysis of Segment Operating Results." See "Business Environment" for more information about factors that may impact our business, financial performance, operating results and valuations. The presentation of our consolidated results of operations that follows reflects the significant industry diversification of KKR by its acquisition of GlobalAtlantic . GlobalAtlantic operates an insurance business, and KKR operates an asset management business, each of which possess distinct characteristics. As a result, KKR developed a two-tiered presentation approach, where GlobalAtlantic's insurance business is presented separately from KKR's asset management business. Additionally, for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , the results of Global Atlantic's insurance operations included in our consolidated results of operations are fromFebruary 1, 2021 (closing date of the acquisition) throughJune 30, 2021 .
