Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

As of June 30, 2026, our AUM was $319.0 billion, which included $190.6 billion of FPAUM. As of June 30, 2026, we had $31.1 billion in AUM not yet paying fees, providing approximately $380 million of annualized management fees once deployed. See “—Assets Under Management” for additional information, including important information on how we define these metrics.

Business Environment

Our business is impacted by the financial markets and economic conditions in the United States, and to a lesser extent, globally.

During the second quarter of 2026, global equity and debt markets adapted to shifts in expectations around major themes such as inflation and the trajectory of interest rates as well as ongoing geopolitical relations and their impact to certain energy prices. Stronger than previously indicated job growth and sticky inflation drove expectations of rate hikes, a reversal away from the forward rate cuts anticipated at the beginning of the second quarter. Temporary periods of de-escalation in the Middle East throughout the quarter drove certain energy prices lower. Equity market dispersion continued, with single stock volatility outpacing index volatility by a wide margin as artificial intelligence (“AI”) hardware and other perceived beneficiaries of AI spend continued to drive thematic investment.

The 10-year Treasury yield in the United States ended the second quarter of 2026 approximately 15 basis points higher than March 31, 2026 and experienced a peak to trough range of more than 40 basis points during the quarter. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, peaked above 25 during the second quarter of 2026, but mostly sat below 20 as tensions in the Middle East experienced temporary periods of de-escalation throughout the quarter.

We operate three differentiated platforms at scale across Credit, Real Assets and GP Strategic Capital. AUM of $319 billion grew 12% year over year, with growth across each platform. Over the last twelve months, approximately 85% of our GAAP and FRE management fees were generated by Permanent Capital. Capital raising during the second quarter of 2026 was diversified across asset classes, strategies and channels, resulting in $7.8 billion of new capital commitments during the second quarter of 2026 and $50.5 billion over the last twelve months. We ended the second quarter of 2026 with substantial available capital to deploy, reporting $31.1 billion of AUM not yet paying fees.

In Credit, gross deployment in the second quarter was robust, led by alternative credit and investment grade credit strategies. Alternative credit has become a larger part of our Credit platform, having grown AUM 35% over the past year. Over this time, we have meaningfully scaled both drawdown funds and our interval fund, the latter of which eclipsed its one year anniversary in the second quarter. In direct lending, credit health remains strong and the performance of our funds and vehicles has continued to outpace their relevant public benchmarks. We also continued to experience elevated redemption requests in certain Blue Owl managed non-traded BDCs, though such requests were moderately lower compared to the first quarter of 2026. We continued to see deployment consistent with an industry backdrop of moderate sponsor-driven M&A activity and continued to see meaningful repayments at par, another metric demonstrating health and liquidity within the portfolio.

As of the second quarter of 2026, our Real Assets platform has expanded seven-fold in AUM since we first established our foothold in late 2021. Over the past year alone, Real Assets AUM and revenues have each grown by more than 25%, and we were ranked #2 on PERE’s Top 100 Real Estate fundraisers globally. Our strong presence and performance in Real Assets is due in part to our focus on sectors such as data centers, industrials and reshoring, healthcare and cold storage. Across the platform, we see nearly $160 billion of near-term opportunities across both our digital infrastructure and net lease pipelines.

In GP Strategic Capital, we continue to focus on generating attractive and income-driven returns for our fund investors, with an emphasis on distributions paid in. Over the past eight quarters, we have engaged in five strip sale transactions that in aggregate generated $4.6 billion of capital returned to investors. We continue to see strong interest in our capital solutions from both limited partners in our funds and general partners in which we take stakes as a result of the current market landscape.

Assets Under Management

We present information regarding our AUM, FPAUM and various other related metrics throughout this MD&A to provide context around our fee generating revenues results, as well as indicators of the potential for future earnings from existing and new products. Our calculations of AUM and FPAUM may differ from the calculation methodologies of other asset managers, and as a result these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. In addition, our calculation of AUM includes amounts that are fee exempt (i.e., not subject to fees).

8

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2026, assets under management related to us, our executives and other employees totaled approximately $5.8 billion (including $3.0 billion related to accrued carried interest). A portion of these assets under management are not charged fees.

Composition of Assets Under Management

Our AUM consists of FPAUM, AUM not yet paying fees, fee-exempt AUM and net appreciation and leverage in products on which fees are based on commitments or investment cost. AUM not yet paying fees generally relates to unfunded capital commitments (to the extent such commitments are not already subject to fees), undeployed debt (to the extent we earn fees based on total asset values or investment cost, inclusive of assets purchased using debt) and AUM that is subject to a temporary fee holiday. Fee-exempt AUM represents certain investments by us, our employees, other related parties and third parties, as well as certain co-investment vehicles on which we never earn fees.

Management uses AUM not yet paying fees as an indicator of management fees that will come online as we deploy existing assets in products that charge fees based on deployed and not uncalled capital, as well as AUM that is currently subject to a fee holiday that will expire in the future. AUM not yet paying fees could provide approximately $380 million of additional annualized management fees once deployed or upon the expiration of the relevant fee holidays.

All amounts shown as of June 30, 2026, totals may not sum due to rounding.

Permanency and Duration of Assets Under Management

Our capital base is heavily weighted toward Permanent Capital. We view the permanency and duration of the products that we manage as a differentiator in our industry and as a means of measuring the stability of our future revenue streams. The chart below presents the composition of our management fees by remaining product duration. Changes in these relative percentages will occur over time as the mix of products we offer changes. For example, our Real Assets products have a higher concentration in what we refer to as “long-dated” funds, or funds in which the remaining contractual life is five years or more, which may cause our percentage of management fees from Permanent Capital to decline.

Business Environment

Our business is impacted by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions in the United States, and to a lesser extent, globally.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, global equity and debt markets saw appreciation despite some elevated volatility, with U.S. equity indices reaching new all-time highs while credit spreads remained relatively tight. The 10-year Treasury yield ended the quarter approximately flat quarter over quarter and down approximately 40 basis points from the beginning of the year, and the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by an additional 50 basis points during the fourth quarter following a 25 basis point cut in September 2025.

We continued to see strong growth across our platform, measured across earnings, ongoing fundraising, and new capital deployment. Over the past year, approximately 84% and 85% of our GAAP and FRE management fees, respectively, were generated by Permanent Capital and the remainder was primarily from long-dated capital, with no meaningful pressure on our asset base from redemptions. An elevated level of headlines about private credit drove higher redemptions in Blue Owl managed non-traded BDCs, aligning with industry-wide trends, and all investor tender requests for Blue Owl non-traded BDCs were satisfied. This slowdown in non-traded BDC capital raising coincided with an acceleration in other fundraising within the private wealth channel, driving a record quarter of private wealth flows for Blue Owl.

We raised $17.3 billion of new capital commitments during the fourth quarter of 2025, with $56.3 billion of total capital raised in 2025. This marks another record equity fundraising year for us, both across the private wealth and institutional channels, resulting in an increasingly diversified revenue profile across asset classes, strategies and channels. Fundraising, capital deployment, and acquisitions contributed to management fee growth of approximately 25% over the past year. We ended the fourth quarter of 2025 with substantial available capital to deploy, reporting $28.4 billion of AUM not yet paying fees.

Industry-wide completed sponsor M&A activity in the fourth quarter was moderate, and Blue Owl’s direct lending strategy saw gross deployment of $12.0 billion and net funded deployment of $3.3 billion in the quarter. Key performance indicators across our credit business remained strong, and the Credit portfolios continued to perform as expected.

Across Blue Owl’s Real Assets platform, we continue to find attractive ways to partner with investment grade companies, building, financing and owning their most mission critical assets. The appetite for data centers and build-to-suit net lease projects has continued to grow meaningfully as a result of growth in demand for cloud computing, AI technologies and reshoring, and investors continue to commit significant capital to these strategies. In the fourth quarter, we held a $1.7 billion first close for Blue Owl Digital Infrastructure Trust, our private wealth-dedicated digital infrastructure evergreen fund, less than a year after the IPI Acquisition. Coupled with fundraising for the latest vintage of our net lease flagship fund and the final close for our third digital infrastructure flagship fund, we raised over $17 billion of equity across the Real Assets platform in 2025, nearly 3.5x more than we raised in 2024.

In GP Strategic Capital, as the largest alternative asset managers continue to benefit from consolidation and accelerating market share trends, we continue to invest in the growth of these managers. Over the course of 2025, funds managed by our GP minority stakes team deployed over $5 billion into Partner Managers at the upper end of the market. As we begin to see activity levels at our Partner Managers increase from both a deployment and monetization standpoint, we believe we can continue to generate attractive and income-driven returns for our fund investors, with an emphasis on distributions paid in.

We are continuing to closely monitor developments related to the macroeconomic factors that have contributed to market volatility, and to assess the impact of these factors on financial markets and on our business. It is currently not possible to predict the ultimate effects of these events on the financial markets, overall economy and our Financial Statements. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors —Risks Related to Macroeconomic Factors.”

Additionally, we may pursue investments to accelerate our growth and broaden our product offerings, including opportunistically through acquisitions. Our acquisition strategy is centered around driving additional scale or expanding capabilities that complement or augment our existing products.

Assets Under Management

We present information regarding our AUM, FPAUM and various other related metrics throughout this MD&A to provide context around our fee generating revenues results, as well as indicators of the potential for future earnings from existing and new products. Our calculations of AUM and FPAUM may differ from the calculation methodologies of other asset managers, and as a result these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. In addition, our calculation of AUM includes amounts that are fee exempt (i.e., not subject to fees).

As of December 31, 2025, assets under management related to us, our executives and other employees totaled approximately $6.4 billion (including $2.6 billion related to accrued carried interest). A portion of these assets under management are not charged fees.

Composition of Assets Under Management

Our AUM consists of FPAUM, AUM not yet paying fees, fee-exempt AUM and net appreciation and leverage in products on which fees are based on commitments or investment cost. AUM not yet paying fees generally relates to unfunded capital commitments (to the extent such commitments are not already subject to fees), undeployed debt (to the extent we earn fees based on total asset values or investment cost, inclusive of assets purchased using debt) and AUM that is subject to a temporary fee holiday. Fee-exempt AUM represents certain investments by us, our employees, other related parties and third parties, as well as certain co-investment vehicles on which we never earn fees.

Management uses AUM not yet paying fees as an indicator of management fees that will come online as we deploy existing assets in products that charge fees based on deployed and not uncalled capital, as well as AUM that is currently subject to a fee holiday that will expire in the future. AUM not yet paying fees could provide approximately $326 million of additional annualized management fees once deployed or upon the expiration of the relevant fee holidays.

Permanency and Duration of Assets Under Management

Our capital base is heavily weighted toward Permanent Capital. We view the permanency and duration of the products that we manage as a differentiator in our industry and as a means of measuring the stability of our future revenue streams. The chart below presents the composition of our management fees by remaining product duration. Changes in these relative percentages will occur over time as the mix of products we offer changes. For example, our Real Assets products have a higher concentration in what we refer to as “long-dated” funds, or funds in which the remaining contractual life is five years or more, which may cause our percentage of management fees from Permanent Capital to decline.
