Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes orincludes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the UnitedStates of America (“GAAP”) in the statements of operations, financial condition or cash flows of the company. These measures should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to,financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the following non-GAAP measures, when presented together with comparable GAAP measures, are useful toinvestors in understanding the Company’s operating results: Adjusted Pretax Income; Adjusted Net Income; Adjusted Net Income, If-Converted, in total and on a per-share basis; AdjustedCompensation and Benefits Expense and Adjusted Non-Compensation Expense. These non-GAAP measures, presented and discussed in this presentation, remove the significantaccounting impact of: (a) transaction-related compensation expense, including expense related to Partnership Units with both time-based vesting and market conditions as well as equity-based and cash awards granted in connection with the spin-off from The Blackstone Group Inc. (“Blackstone”) and acquisition of CamberView; (b) intangible asset amortization associatedwith Blackstone’s initial public offering (“IPO”), acquisition of PJT Capital LP, and acquisition of CamberView; (c) impairment of former CamberView leased spaces; and (d) the amount PJTPartners has agreed to pay Blackstone related to the net realized cash benefit from certain compensation-related tax deductions. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their mostdirectly comparable GAAP measures and further detail regarding the adjustments are provided on pages 20 and 24 of this presentation. For additional information about our non-GAAPfinancial measures, see our filings with the SEC.

Notes to Financials

1. This adjustment adds back to GAAP Pretax Income transaction-related compensation expense for Partnership Units with both time-based vesting and market conditions as well as equity-based and cash awards granted in connection with the spin-off from Blackstone and the acquisition of CamberView.

2. This adjustment adds back to GAAP Pretax Income amounts for the amortization of intangible assets that are associated with Blackstone’s IPO, the acquisition of PJT Capital LP on October 1, 2015 and the acquisition of CamberView on October 1, 2018.

3. This adjustment adds back to GAAP Pretax Income the amount the Company has agreed to pay Blackstone related to the net realized cash benefit from certain compensation-related tax deductions. Such expense is reflected in Other Expenses in the GAAPStatements of Operations.

4. This adjustment adds back to GAAP Pretax Income the impairment on former CamberView leased space.

5. Represents taxes on Adjusted Pretax Income, considering both current and deferred income tax effects for the current ownership structure.

6. Represents taxes on Adjusted Pretax Income, assuming all Partnership Units (excluding the unvested partnership units that have yet to satisfy market conditions) were exchanged for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, resulting in all of the Company’s income becoming subject to corporate-level tax, considering both current and deferred income tax effects.
