___________________________

“KKR delivered strong investment results in 2015 as our private equity portfolio appreciated 14.2%, outperforming the S&P 500 by over 1,200 basis points despite challenging markets,” said Henry R. Kravis and George R. Roberts, Co-Chairmen and Co-Chief Executive Officers of KKR. “We capitalized on attractive opportunities across our segments in the fourth quarter including record deployment within our Credit and Infrastructure businesses. Our ability to take advantage of volatile market environments stems from the long-dated capital entrusted to us by a growing base of limited partners across our diverse set of strategies. With $20 billion of new capital raised in 2015, we ended the year with record dry powder and over $10 billion of cash and investments on our balance sheet to invest as attractive opportunities arise.”


Note: Certain financial measures, including ENI, After-tax ENI, After-tax cash earnings, book value, cash and short-term investments and adjusted units, are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See Exhibits C and D for a reconciliation of such measures to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) AUM and FPAUM reflect the inclusion of KKR's pro rata portion of AUM or FPAUM, as applicable, managed by other asset managers in which KKR holds a minority stake. In addition, AUM reflects the inclusion of capital commitments for which KKR is eligible to receive fees or carried interest upon deployment of capital. See "Notes to Reportable Segments" for the definitions of AUM and FPAUM.

GAAP RESULTS

GAAP net income (loss) for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015, included net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. of $32.3 million and $488.5 million, respectively, and net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. per common unit of $0.07 and $1.01, respectively, on a diluted basis. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014, net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. was $(0.6) million and $477.6 million, respectively, and net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. per common unit was $0.00 and $1.16, respectively, on a diluted basis. The increase in both comparable periods was primarily due to an increase in KKR & Co. L.P.'s ownership percentage in the KKR business, and for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, an increase in income before taxes.

(1) Amount includes a $100.0 million realized loss on a segment basis relating to the write off of an investment which had previously been marked at zero on an unrealized basis. Accordingly, this write off had no impact on our Economic Net Income during the fourth quarter and full year of 2015.

TOTAL REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

Total segment revenues were $487.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $130.1 million, compared to total segment revenues of $357.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The increase was principally attributable to (i) a non-recurring increase in monitoring fees in our Private Markets segment, which increased segment revenues by $55.5 million net of associated fee credits, (ii) an increase in transaction fees primarily reflecting larger transaction sizes in both our Private Markets segment and Capital Markets segment and (iii) higher performance income from increased carried interest primarily reflecting more favorable performance in our carry earning Private Markets funds. These increases were partially offset by lower total investment income driven primarily by a lower level of net interest and dividends in the current period.

Total segment revenues were $2,505.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $449.7 million, compared to total segment revenues of $2,955.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was principally attributable to (i) lower total investment income driven primarily by a lower level of realized and unrealized investment income which represented a net loss in the current year and (ii) lower performance income during the year reflecting a lower level of net carried interest in our Public Markets segment as well as a decrease in incentive fees.

ENI was $144.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $58.1 million, compared to ENI of $86.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to higher total segment revenues as described above partially offset by an increase in cash compensation and benefits resulting from the higher levels of management, monitoring and transaction fees.

ENI was $1,298.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $429.2 million, compared to ENI of $1,727.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower total segment revenues as described above.

AUM(1) was $119.5 billion as of December 31, 2015, an increase of $7.1 billion, compared to AUM of $112.4 billion as of September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in our pro rata portion of AUM managed by other asset managers in which KKR holds a minority stake, primarily reflecting our long-term strategic partnership with Marshall Wace, (ii) an increase in the fair value of our private equity portfolio (our private equity portfolio appreciated by 4.8% and 14.2% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015, respectively) and (iii) new capital raised primarily in Special Situations Fund II, our hedge-fund-of-funds platform and our CLOs. These increases were partially offset by distributions to limited partners of our private equity funds arising from realizations and distributions and redemptions in our alternative credit funds and other separately managed accounts in our Public Markets segment.

FPAUM(1) was $91.7 billion as of December 31, 2015, an increase of $5.8 billion, compared to FPAUM of $85.9 billion as of September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in our pro rata portion of FPAUM managed by other asset managers in which KKR holds a minority stake, primarily reflecting our long-term strategic partnership with Marshall Wace, (ii) new capital raised primarily in our hedge-fund-of-funds platform and our CLOs and (iii) capital invested across various investment strategies for which KKR was not eligible to receive a fee until deployment of such capital. These increases were partially offset by distributions to limited partners of our private equity funds arising from realizations and distributions and redemptions in our alternative credit funds and other separately managed accounts in our Public Markets segment.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 2015, KKR had $1.3 billion of cash and short-term investments and $3.0 billion of outstanding debt and preferred share obligations on a total reportable segment basis. This includes KFN’s debt obligations of $657.3 million and KFN’s 7.375% Series A LLC preferred shares of $373.8 million, which are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets of KFN. As of December 31, 2015, KKR had a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility, which was undrawn. In addition, KKR has a $500.0 million revolving credit facility for use in its capital markets business, which was undrawn as of December 31, 2015.

As of December 31, 2015, KKR’s portion of total uncalled commitments to its investment funds was $1.4 billion. See Exhibit B for details.

DISTRIBUTION

A distribution of $0.16 per common unit has been declared, which will be paid on March 8, 2016 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on February 22, 2016. Under KKR's distribution policy, KKR intends to make equal quarterly distributions to holders of common units in an amount of $0.16 per common unit per quarter.

The declaration and payment of any distributions are subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the general partner of KKR, and the terms of its limited partnership agreement. There can be no assurance that distributions will be made as intended or at all, that unitholders will receive sufficient distributions to satisfy payment of their tax liabilities as limited partners of KKR or that any particular distribution policy will be maintained.

Notes to Reportable Segments (Unaudited)

The segment key performance measures that follow are used by management in making operating and resource deployment decisions as well as assessing the overall performance of each of KKR’s reportable business segments. The reportable segments for KKR’s business are presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) between KKR & Co. L.P. and KKR Holdings L.P. and as such represent the business in total. In addition, KKR’s reportable segments are presented without giving effect to the consolidation of the funds that KKR manages.

KKR discloses the following financial measures in this earnings release that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our GAAP results is helpful to unitholders in assessing the overall performance of KKR’s businesses. These financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for similar financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution readers that these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculations of other investment managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included elsewhere within this earnings release.

Adjusted units are used as a measure of the total equity ownership of KKR that is held by KKR & Co. L.P. (including equity awards issued under the Equity Incentive Plan), KKR Holdings and other holders of securities exchangeable into common units of KKR & Co. L.P. and represent the fully diluted unit count using the if-converted method. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides an indication of the total equity ownership of KKR as if all outstanding KKR Holdings units, equity awards issued under the Equity Incentive Plan and other exchangeable securities had been exchanged for common units of KKR & Co. L.P.

After-tax cash earnings is used by management as a measure of the cash earnings of KKR. KKR believes this measure, which was formerly referred to as total distributable earnings, is useful to unitholders as it provides a supplemental measure to assess performance, excluding the impact of mark-to-market gains (losses). After-tax cash earnings excludes certain realized investment losses to the extent unrealized losses on these investments were recognized prior to the combination with KPE on October 1, 2009.

Assets under management ("AUM") represent the assets managed by KKR or by its strategic partners from which KKR is entitled to receive fees or a carried interest (either currently or upon deployment of capital) and general partner capital. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into KKR's capital raising activities and the overall activity in its investment funds and strategic partnerships. 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; (ii) uncalled capital commitments from these funds, including uncalled capital commitments from which KKR is currently not earning management fees or carried interest; (iii) the fair value of investments in KKR's co-investment vehicles; (iv) the par value of outstanding CLOs (excluding CLOs wholly-owned by KKR); (vi) KKR's pro-rata portion of the AUM managed by strategic partnerships in which KKR holds a minority ownership interest and (vi) the fair value of other assets managed by KKR. The pro-rata portion of the AUM managed by strategic partnerships is calculated based on KKR’s percentage ownership interest in such entities multiplied by such entity’s respective AUM. KKR's definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages or calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.

Book value is a measure of the net assets of KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management primarily in assessing the unrealized value of KKR’s investment portfolio, including carried interest, as well as KKR’s overall liquidity position. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the assets and liabilities of KKR excluding the assets and liabilities that are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders. Book value differs from KKR & Co. L.P. partners’ capital on a GAAP basis primarily as a result of the exclusion of ownership interests attributable to KKR Holdings.

Cash and short-term investments represent cash and liquid short-term investments in high-grade, short-duration cash management strategies used by KKR to generate additional yield on our excess liquidity and is used by management in evaluating KKR’s liquidity position. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into KKR’s available liquidity. Cash and short-term investments differ from cash and cash equivalents on a GAAP basis as a result of the inclusion of liquid short-term investments in cash and short-term investments.

Cash return on equity measures the amount of cash income generated as a percentage of capital invested in KKR’s business. Cash return on equity is calculated by dividing Cash Earnings on a trailing twelve-month basis by the average book value during the period.

Economic net income (loss) (“ENI”) is a measure of profitability for KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management as an alternative measurement of the operating and investment earnings of KKR and its business segments. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the overall profitability of KKR’s businesses inclusive of carried interest and related carry pool allocations and investment income. ENI is comprised of total segment revenues less total segment expenses and certain economic interests in KKR’s segments held by third parties. ENI differs from net income (loss) on a GAAP basis as a result of: (i) the inclusion of management fees earned from consolidated funds that were eliminated in consolidation; (ii) the exclusion of fees and expenses of certain consolidated entities; (iii) the exclusion of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets; (iv) the exclusion of non-cash equity-based charges and other non-cash compensation charges borne by KKR Holdings or incurred under the Equity Incentive Plan and other securities that are exchangeable for common units of KKR & Co. L.P.; (v) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items; (vi) the exclusion of investment income (loss) relating to noncontrolling interests; and (vii) the exclusion of income taxes.

Equity invested is the aggregate amount of equity capital that has been invested by KKR’s investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles and is used as a measure of investment activity for KKR and its business segments during a given period. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into KKR’s investments among its investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles and replaces committed dollars invested. Such amounts include: (i) capital invested by fund investors and co-investors with respect to which KKR is entitled to a carried interest and (ii) capital invested by KKR’s investment funds, including investments made using investment financing arrangements.

Investments is a term used solely for purposes of financial presentation of a portion of KKR’s balance sheet and includes majority investments in subsidiaries that operate KKR’s asset management and broker-dealer businesses, including the general partner interests of KKR’s investment funds.

Fee paying AUM ("FPAUM") represents only those assets under management of KKR or its strategic partners from which KKR receives management fees. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders 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 fees and differs from AUM in the following respects: (i) assets and commitments from which KKR does not receive a fee are excluded (i.e., assets and commitments with respect to which it receives only carried interest or is otherwise not currently receiving a 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.

Gross dollars invested is the aggregate amount of capital that has been invested by all of KKR’s Public Markets investment vehicles in our private credit non-liquid strategies and is used as a measure of investment activity for a portion of KKR’s Public Markets segment in a given period. We believe this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into KKR’s investment of capital across private credit non-liquid strategies for all the investment vehicles in the Public Markets segment. Such amounts include capital invested by fund investors and co-investors with respect to which KKR’s Public Markets business is entitled to a fee or carried interest.

Return on equity measures the amount of net income generated as a percentage of capital invested in KKR’s business. Return on equity is calculated by dividing After-tax Economic Net Income (Loss) on a trailing twelve-month basis by the average book value during the period.

Syndicated capital is generally the aggregate amount of capital in transactions originated by KKR and its investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles, which has been distributed to third parties in exchange for a fee. It does not include (i) capital invested in such transactions by KKR investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles, which is instead reported in equity invested and (ii) debt capital that is arranged as part of the acquisition financing of transactions originated by KKR investment funds. Syndicated capital is used as a measure of investment activity for KKR and its business segments during a given period, and we believe that this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into levels of syndication activity in KKR's Capital Markets segment and across its investment platform.

Uncalled commitments are used as a measure 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 unitholders as it provides additional insight into the amount of capital that is available to KKR’s investment funds to make future investments. Uncalled commitments are not reduced for investments completed using fund-level investment financing arrangements.

(a) Fee related earnings (“FRE”) is a measure of the operating earnings of KKR and its business segments before performance income, related performance income compensation and investment income. KKR believes this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides additional insight into the operating profitability of KKR's fee generating management companies and capital markets businesses.

(b) Fee and Yield EBITDA is used by management as another measure of the cash earnings of KKR and its business segments investment income. We believe this measure is also useful to unitholders as it provides insight into the amount of KKR’s cash earnings before the impact of interest expense, significant portions of which tend to be more recurring than realized carried interest and realized investment income from quarter to quarter.

(c) Core interest expense is used by management as an alternative measurement of interest expense incurred by KKR on a segment basis and excludes interest expense related to debt obligations from investment financing arrangements related to certain of KKR’s investment funds, investment vehicles and principal investments and also excludes interest expense incurred by KFN. The financing arrangements excluded from core interest expense are not direct obligations of the general partners of KKR’s private equity funds or its management companies, and in the case of debt obligations of KFN are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets of KFN. KKR believes this measure is useful to unitholders as it provides an indication of the amount of interest expense borne by KKR excluding interest expense that is allocated to KKR’s investment funds, other noncontrolling interest holders and KFN. Additionally, we believe this measure is useful for analyzing KKR’s ability to service its debt obligations other than the debt obligations of KFN.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(a) Represents equity awards granted under the KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and other securities that are exchangeable into KKR & Co. L.P common units. The issuance of common units of KKR & Co. L.P. pursuant to such equity awards or other securities dilutes KKR common unitholders and KKR Holdings pro rata in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the KKR business.
(b) Common units that may be issued by KKR & Co. L.P. upon exchange of units in KKR Holdings L.P. for KKR common units.
(c) Unvested common units and other securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common unit on a GAAP basis because inclusion of such unvested common units and other securities would be anti-dilutive (decrease the loss per common unit).
