totaling $64 million in the first half of 2013 relating to the completion of previously announced

“Lazard continues to perform well in challenging global market conditions,” said Kenneth M.
Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lazard. “We remain focused on serving our
clients while we manage the firm for profitable growth and shareholder value over the long
term.”
“Financial Advisory has been active in many of the most significant assignments for corporate
and sovereign clients around the world. The breadth and depth of our advisory services offset
the uneven pace of global M&A activity,” said Mr. Jacobs. “In Asset Management, we continue
to broaden our investment platforms in anticipation of client needs. The diversification of our
investment solutions and our global client base position Asset Management well for long-term
growth.”
“As we continue to invest for growth, we are maintaining our discipline on expenses,” said
Matthieu Bucaille, Chief Financial Officer of Lazard. “As planned, expenses associated with the
implementation of our cost saving initiatives are complete, and our financial results are
beginning to show the benefit of a lower cost base.”

OPERATING REVENUE
Financial Advisory
In the text portion of this press release, we present our Financial Advisory results as Strategic
Advisory and Restructuring. Strategic Advisory includes 1) M&A and Other Advisory (Other
includes Capital Structure Advisory and Sovereign Advisory) and 2) Capital Raising (includes
Capital Markets Advisory and Private Fund Advisory).

Second Quarter Financial Advisory operating revenue was $263 million for the second quarter of 2013, 9% higher than the second quarter of 2012. Strategic Advisory operating revenue was $240 million for the second quarter of 2013, 13% higher than the second quarter of 2012, primarily driven by a 12% increase in M&A and Other Advisory revenue. Restructuring operating revenue of $23 million was 23% lower than the second quarter of 2012. Restructuring revenue continues to be generally in line with the industry-wide low level of corporate restructuring activity. Lazard continues to be the leader in global announced restructurings. During the second quarter of 2013, Lazard remained engaged in highly visible, complex M&A transactions and other advisory assignments, including cross-border transactions, distressed asset sales, capital structure and sovereign advisory, in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Among the major M&A transactions that were completed during the second quarter of 2013 were the following (clients are in italics): Deutsche Telekom on the $29 billion combination of T-Mobile and MetroPCS; Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital in their $28 billion acquisition of H.J. Heinz; Anheuser-Busch InBev’s $20.1 billion acquisition of the remaining stake in Grupo Modelo it did not already own and Grupo Modelo’s related $4.8 billion sale of its U.S. operations to Constellation Brands; and Qatar Holding on its approximately 12% stake in Xstrata in connection with the merger with Glencore International. Our Sovereign Advisory business remained active advising on worldwide assignments, including: BTA Bank on its divestiture by Kazakhstan’s sovereign wealth fund Samruk-Kazyna; various privatizations in Greece and transactions for Piraeus Bank; and acting as financial agent to the U.S. Department of Treasury with respect to General Motors and Ally Financial. Capital Structure Advisory continued to provide advice regarding balance sheet issues to public, private and sovereign clients globally, including: the UK Government on the proposed privatization of The Royal Mail; Siemens’ €2.5 billion spin-off of Osram; ENI Group on its €1.5 billion sale of shares in Snam and its €678 million sale of shares in Galp Energia; Ingersoll-Rand on its $1.6 billion senior notes offering; Bertelsmann on the €1.3 billion public offering of shares of RTL Group; the New Zealand Government on the NZ$1.6 billion initial public offering of Mighty River Power; and Cole Real Estate on its NYSE listing and dutch auction equity tender. During and since the second quarter of 2013 we remained engaged in many of the most highly visible and complex restructuring and debt advisory assignments, including for Cengage Learning, Exide Technologies, Eastman Kodak and the Allied Pilots Association with respect to American Airlines.
Please see a list of M&A and Restructuring assignments on which Lazard advised in the 2013
second quarter, or continued to advise or completed since June 30, 2013, on pages 9 - 11 of
this release.
First Half

Financial Advisory operating revenue was $432 million for the first half of 2013, 17% lower than
the record first half of 2012.
Strategic Advisory operating revenue was $376 million for the first half of 2013, 10% lower than
the first half of 2012.
Restructuring operating revenue was $56 million for the first half of 2013, 44% lower than the
first half of 2012.

Lazard advised on four of the ten largest global transactions announced in the first six months of
2013: Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital’s $28 billion acquisition of H.J. Heinz; Microsoft in its
role in Dell’s $24.4 billion going-private transaction; D.E Master Blenders 1753 in its €7.8 billion
sale to an investor group led by Joh. A. Benckiser; and NV Energy’s $10 billion sale to
MidAmerican Energy.

Asset Management
Second Quarter
Asset Management operating revenue was a record second quarter of $243 million, an 18%
increase from the second quarter of 2012, and a 1% increase from the first quarter of 2013.
Assets under management (AUM) were $163 billion as of June 30, 2013, a 10% increase from
June 30, 2012. AUM decreased 5% from March 31, 2013, driven by market depreciation and $4
billion of net outflows in the quarter. The net outflows were largely related to one strategy in
global equities and the loss of a sub-advised mandate in local equities.
Average AUM in the second quarter of 2013 was $168 billion, 11% higher than average AUM in
the second quarter of 2012, and 2% lower than average AUM in the first quarter of 2013.
Management fees were $218 million in the second quarter of 2013, 12% higher than the second
quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting the change in average AUM, and 1% lower than the first
quarter of 2013. Incentive fees during the period were $16 million compared to $4 million in the
second quarter of 2012.
We continued to win significant new mandates in most of our major platforms from clients around the world. A sample of these new mandates is reflected in the investor presentation on our website. First Half Asset Management operating revenue was a record $483 million for the first half of 2013, 16% higher than the first half of 2012. Average AUM for the first half of 2013 was $169 billion, 14% higher than the first half of 2012.
Net outflows were $5 billion for the first half of 2013.
Management fees were a record $438 million for the first half of 2013, 11% higher than the first
half of 2012, primarily reflecting the change in average AUM. Incentive fees were $25 million in
the first half of 2013, compared to $6 million in the first half of 2012.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Compensation and Benefits
In managing compensation and benefits expense, we focus on annual awarded compensation
(cash compensation and benefits plus deferred incentive compensation with respect to the
applicable year, net of estimated future forfeitures and excluding charges). We believe annual
awarded compensation reflects the actual annual compensation cost more accurately than the
GAAP measure of compensation cost, which includes applicable-year cash compensation and
the amortization of deferred incentive compensation principally attributable to previous years’
deferred compensation. We believe that by managing our business using awarded
compensation with a consistent deferral policy, we can better manage our compensation costs,
increase our flexibility in the future and build shareholder value over time.
For the second quarter of 2013, adjusted GAAP compensation and benefits expense1, including
related accruals, was $307 million, excluding the charge related to our cost saving initiatives2,
compared to $285 million for the second quarter of 2012. The corresponding adjusted GAAP
compensation ratio was 60.0%, compared to 62.7% for the second quarter of 2012.
For the first half of 2013, adjusted GAAP compensation and benefits expense1, including related
accruals, was $555 million, excluding charges related to our cost saving initiatives2, compared
to $598 million for the first half of 2012, excluding charges related to staff reductions2. The
corresponding adjusted GAAP compensation ratio was 60.0%, compared to 61.8% for the full-
year 2012 and 62.7% for the first half of 2012.
The second-quarter 2013 adjusted GAAP compensation ratio assumes, based on current
market conditions, a full-year awarded compensation ratio of approximately 58.5%, compared to
59.4% for the full year of 2012.
Our goal remains to grow awarded compensation expense at a slower rate than revenue
growth, and to achieve a compensation-to-operating revenue ratio over the cycle in the mid- to
high-50s percentage range on both an awarded and adjusted GAAP basis, with consistent
deferral policies.


Non-Compensation Expense

For the second quarter of 2013, adjusted non-compensation expense1 was $105 million,
excluding the charge related to our cost saving initatives2, 1% lower than the second quarter of
2012. The year-over-year comparison reflects early results of our cost saving initiatives, offset in
part by deal-related third-party fees and expenses relating to increased business activity levels.
The ratio of adjusted non-compensation expense to operating revenue for the second quarter of
2013 was 20.5%, compared to 23.2% for the second quarter of 2012.
For the first half of 2013, adjusted non-compensation expense1 was $205 million, excluding the
related charges2, 3% lower than the first half of 2012. The ratio of adjusted non-compensation
expense to operating revenue was 22.1% for both periods.
Our goal remains to achieve an adjusted non-compensation expense-to-operating revenue ratio
over the cycle of 16% to 20%.
TAXES
The provision for taxes, on an adjusted basis1, was $19.2 million for the second quarter of 2013
and $27.9 million for the first half of 2013. The effective tax rate on the same basis was 24.3%
for the second quarter and 22.3% for the first half of 2013, compared to 22.9% and 24.5% for
the respective 2012 periods.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND BALANCE SHEET

Our primary capital management goals include managing debt and returning capital to
shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

For the second quarter of 2013, Lazard returned $54 million to shareholders, which included:
$31 million in dividends; $20 million in share repurchases of our Class A common stock; and $3
million in satisfaction of employee tax obligations in lieu of share issuances upon vesting of
equity grants.
For the first half of 2013, Lazard returned $230 million to shareholders, which included: $31
million in dividends; $79 million in share repurchases of our Class A common stock; and $120
million in satisfaction of employee tax obligations in lieu of share issuances upon vesting of
equity grants.
As of June 30, 2013, we had repurchased 2.4 million shares at an average price of $33.04 per
share during the first half of the year. These repurchases served to directly offset approximately
75% of the potential dilution from our 2012 year-end equity-based compensation awards, net of
estimated forfeitures and tax withholding to be paid in cash by the Company in lieu of share
issuance.

On July 24, 2013, Lazard declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share on its outstanding
common stock. In April, 2013, we announced a 25% increase in the quarterly dividend.
Lazard’s financial position remains strong. Our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2013,
were $601 million, the majority of which were invested in U.S. Government and agency money
market funds. As of June 30, 2013, total stockholders’ equity related to Lazard’s interests was
$518 million.

COST SAVING INITIATIVES

In October 2012, Lazard announced cost saving initiatives which, at that time, were expected to
result in approximately $125 million in annual savings from the compensation and non-
compensation cost base. We have exceeded our goal and we expect total annual savings
related to the cost saving initiatives will be approximately $160 million, which will be partially
offset by investment in our business.
Approximately $120 million of the expected total savings relate to compensation expense
associated with the firm’s headcount, and approximately $40 million to non-compensation
expense. We anticipate that more than two-thirds of these savings will be realized in 2013, with
the full impact of all the savings reflected in our 2014 results.
Expenses associated with implementation of the cost saving initiatives are complete and have
been reflected in our financial results. These implementation expenses were approximately: $38
million in the second quarter of 2013; $26 million in the first quarter of 2013; and $103 million in
the fourth quarter of 2012, for a total of approximately $167 million. As we anticipated,
approximately 75% of the implementation expenses are expected to be paid in cash.
The cost saving initiatives are intended to improve the firm’s profitability with minimal impact on
revenue growth. The initiatives include: streamlining our corporate structure and consolidating
support functions; realigning the firm’s investments into areas with potential for the greatest
long-term return; renegotiating certain contracts; and creating greater flexibility to retain and
attract the best people and invest in new growth areas.

ENDNOTES

1 A non-U.S. GAAP measure. See attached financial schedules and related notes for a detailed
explanation of adjustments to corresponding U.S. GAAP results. We believe that presenting our results
on an adjusted basis, in addition to the U.S. GAAP results, is the most meaningful and useful way to
compare our operating results across periods.
2 Second quarter 2013 results exclude a final pre-tax charge of $38 million relating to previously
announced cost saving initiatives, of which $27 million is compensation expense and $11 million is non-
compensation expense, arising primarily from staff reductions, settlement of certain contractual
obligations and occupancy cost reduction. First-half 2013 results exclude the second-quarter pre-tax
charge of $38 million, as well as a first-quarter 2013 pre-tax charge of $26 million relating to the cost
saving initiatives, of which $24 million was compensation expense and $2 million was non-compensation
expense. First-half 2012 results exclude pre-tax charges of $22 million related to staff reductions and $3
million of non-compensation expense.
3 For the first half of 2013, Lazard returned $230 million to shareholders, which included: $31 million for
dividends; $79 million in share repurchases of our Class A common stock; and $120 million in satisfaction
of employee tax obligations in lieu of share issuances upon vesting of equity grants. The share
repurchases served to directly offset approximately 75% of the potential dilution from our 2012 year-end
equity-based compensation awards.
