Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted (non-GAAP) Financials

Source: Company filingsNotes:1. Includes amortization of equity awards granted to employees and MDs in connection with the IPO

Our Adjusted results remove the impact of compensation expenses specifically related to the Firm’s IPO awards, and apply the corporate tax rate to all earnings under the assumption that all outstanding Class A partnership units of Moelis & Company Group LP have been exchanged into Class A common stock of Moelis & Company. We believe the Adjusted results, when presented together with comparable GAAP results, are useful to investors to compare our performance across periods and to better understand our operating results.

Quarterly Revenue SummaryQUARTERLY REVENUE (Q1 2013 – Q4 2016)Revenue ($mm)

Source: Company filingsNotes: Management primarily focuses on annual revenue measures as revenues in any quarter may not be indicative of full year results and the results of any period may vary

significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. For the purpose of understanding the Company’s historical experience for the 7-year period of 2010-2016 revenues on average were distributed over the four calendar quarters as follows: Q1: 19%; Q2: 24%; Q3: 25%; Q4: 32%. The quarterly revenue data for Q1 2013 through Q4 2016 was derived from our unaudited financial statements included in our Form 10-Qs and our audited financial statements included in our Form 10-Ks. The quarterly revenue data for 2010, 2011 and 2012 was prepared on substantially the same basis as the unaudited financial statements in our Form 10-Qs and our audited financial statements in our Form 10-Ks and include all normal and recurring adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of revenue for these periods.

Share Count Summary

[ 16 ]

Type of Equity At IPO December 31, 2016 January 10, 2017 1

Class A Common Stock 15.3 million 21.1 million 2 26.5 million 2

Exchangeable Class A Partnership Units 39.0 million 33.7 million 28.3 million

Weighted-Average Basic Class A Shares / Exchangeable Units

54.3 million 54.8 million 3 54.8 million 3,4

Weighted-Average Diluted Class A Shares / Exchangeable Units

54.3 million 59.5 million 3 59.5 million 3,4

Notes:1. Moelis & Company concluded a public offering of 5.75 million shares of Class A Common Stock on January 10, 20172. Includes 0.5 million of shares and exchangeable units which are subject to certain vesting requirements3. Represents weighted-average Class A common stock, exchangeable Class A partnership units and diluted shares for the three month period ending December 31, 20164. The public offering has no effect on the total basic and diluted shares / exchangeable units and the amounts presented as of January 6, 2017 are substantially the same as of

Dec. 31, 2016 and therefore have not been recalculated

Near-term, expect an increase in Diluted share count given issuance of annual incentive equity awards yet modest share repurchases due to limited public float

— Increase in Diluted share count results from outstanding unvested equity
