environment, we accomplished a solid second quarter and first half of 2022. while our backlogs remain strong, we recognize the increased risk associated with the current geopolitical, economic, and market headwinds. we remain confident in our growth strategy and believe that the investments in our business will allow us to continue to achieve success for our clients, firm, and shareholders. as it relates to talent, we are pleased to have seven advisory senior managing directors join this year. further, we remain committed to our capital return strategy and will continue to return capital to shareholders while maintaining a durable balance sheet." roger c. altman, founder and senior chairman, "evercore has continued to execute very well. and, historically, during complex environments like this, we improve our market share. that is our goal again here." evercore's quarterly results may fluctuate significantly due to the timing and amount of transaction fees earned, as well as other factors. accordingly, financial results in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results over a longer period of time. business segments: evercore's business results are categorized into two segments: investment banking and investment management. investment banking includes providing advice to clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic corporate transactions, as well as services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. investment management includes wealth management and interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the company, as well as advising third-party investors through affiliates. see pages a-2 to a-9 for further information and reconciliations of these segment results to our u.s. gaap consolidated results. non-gaap measures: throughout this release certain information is presented on an adjusted basis, which is a non-gaap measure. adjusted results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america ("u.s. gaap"), and then those results are adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of certain evercore lp units into class a shares. evercore believes that the disclosed adjusted measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable u.s. gaap measures, are useful to investors to compare evercore's results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of evercore's operating results. evercore uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. these measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with u.s. gaap. evercore's adjusted net income attributable to evercore inc. for the three and six months ended june 30, 2022 was higher than u.s. gaap as a result of special charges, including business realignment costs. special charges, including business realignment costs, in 2022 relate to charges associated with the prepayment of the company's $67 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.23% series b senior notes, originally due march 30, 2023 (the "series b notes"), during the second quarter, as well as certain professional fees related to the ongoing liquidation of the company's operations in mexico. the gain on the sale of a portion of the company's interests in abs in the first quarter of 2022 has been excluded from adjusted net revenues. evercore's adjusted diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended june 30, 2022 were higher than u.s. gaap, as a result of the inclusion of certain evercore lp units and unvested restricted stock units. further details of these adjustments, as well as an explanation of similar amounts for the three and six months ended june 30, 2021 are included in pages a-2 to a-9. selected financial data – u.s. gaap results the following is a discussion of evercore's consolidated results on a u.s. gaap basis. see pages a-5 to a-7

primarily reflecting a shift from gains of $16.0 million to losses of $31.5 million on our investment funds portfolio due to the overall market decline. the decrease was also driven by a $4.4 million

million, or 5%, year-over-year, reflecting a compensation ratio of 61.7% for the quarter versus 59.3% for the prior year period. the decrease in employee compensation and benefits compared to the

amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. year-to-date employee compensation and benefits increased $15.5 million, or 2%, year-over-year, reflecting a year-to-date compensation ratio

ratio was also impacted by the lower performance of our investment funds portfolio during the current year period. see "deferred compensation" for more information. non-compensation costs – second quarter non-compensation costs increased $22.2 million, or 30%, year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in travel and related expenses, as travel began to resume during the fourth quarter of

information is presented on an adjusted basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-gaap") measure. adjusted results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america ("u.s. gaap"), adjusted to exclude certain items and reflect the conversion of certain evercore lp units, as well as unvested restricted stock units, into class a shares. evercore believes that the disclosed adjusted measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable u.s. gaap measures, are useful to investors to compare evercore's results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of evercore's operating results. the company uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. these measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with u.s. gaap. these adjusted amounts are allocated to the company's two business segments: investment banking and investment management. the differences between the adjusted and u.s. gaap results are as

adjusted presentation. interest expense on debt is excluded from net revenues and presented below operating income in the adjusted results and is included in interest expense on a u.s. gaap basis. the gain on the sale of a portion of the company's interests in abs in the first quarter of 2022 is excluded from the adjusted presentation. the gain resulting from the redemption of the g5 debt security in the second quarter of 2021 is excluded from the adjusted presentation. expenses during 2022 that are excluded from the adjusted presentation relate to charges associated with the prepayment of the company's series b notes during the second quarter, as well as certain professional fees related to the ongoing liquidation of the company's operations in mexico. professional fees incurred and costs related to transitioning acquisitions or divestitures are excluded from the adjusted presentation. evercore is organized as a series of limited liability companies, partnerships, c-corporations and a public corporation in the u.s. as the ultimate parent. certain of the subsidiaries, particularly evercore lp, have noncontrolling interests held by management or former members of management. as a result, not all of the company’s income is subject to corporate level taxes and certain other state and local taxes are levied. the assumption in the adjusted earnings presentation is that substantially all of the noncontrolling interest is eliminated through the exchange of evercore lp units into class a common stock of the ultimate parent. as a result, the adjusted earnings presentation assumes that the allocation of earnings to evercore lp’s noncontrolling interest holders is substantially eliminated and is therefore subject to statutory tax rates of a c-corporation under a conventional tax structure in the u.s. and that certain state and local taxes are reduced accordingly. reflects an adjustment to eliminate noncontrolling interest related to substantially all evercore lp partnership units which are assumed to be converted to class a common stock in the adjusted presentation. assumes the exchange into class a shares of substantially all evercore lp units and ipo related restricted stock unit awards in the adjusted presentation. in the computation of outstanding common stock equivalents for u.s. gaap net income per share, the evercore lp units are anti-dilutive.
