Management

Thanks, operator, and welcome, everyone. Joining me this morning are Jon Winkelried, Chief Executive Officer, and Jack Weingart, Chief Financial Officer. In addition, our Executive Chairman and Co-founder, James Coulter, and our President, Todd Sisitsky, are also here and will be available for the Q&A portion of this morning's call. I'd like to remind you this call may include forward-looking statements that do not guarantee future events or performance. Please refer to TPG's earnings release and SEC filings for factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements. TPG undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements except as required by law. Within our discussion and earnings release, we're presenting GAAP and non-GAAP measures, and we believe certain non-GAAP measures that we discuss on this call are relevant in assessing the financial performance of the business. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the nearest GAAP figures in TPG's earnings release, which is available on our website. Please note that nothing on this call constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase an interest in any TPG fund. Looking briefly at our results for the fourth quarter, we reported GAAP net income attributable to TPG Inc. of $13 million and after-tax distributable earnings of $261 million or $0.62 per share of Class A common stock. We declared a dividend of $0.53 per share of Class A common stock, which will be paid on March 7, 2025, to holders of record as of February 21, 2025. I'll now turn the call over to Jon.

Thanks, Gary. Good morning, everyone. To begin, I'd like to take a moment to remember the life and legacy of David Bonnerman, or Bondo to those of us who had the privilege to call him a friend and colleague. David was a legendary investor and an innovative leader in the alternative asset industry. He co-founded TPG in 1992, after following an unconventional path to investing. His unique and collaborative style continues to resonate within our firm. David was known for architecting some of the most complex transformative deals in our industry and pioneering private equity in Asia. His passion and relentless quest for knowledge extended far beyond investing into music, sports, and environmental conservation. While we're deeply saddened by David's passing, we will honor his legacy by continuing to apply the same level of intellectual curiosity, enthusiasm, and creative problem-solving to our work at TPG. In my comments this morning, I'll review the strong progress we've made in 2024 across investing, fundraising, and business building. I'll then share our strategic priorities and outlook for 2025. Starting with our progress in 2024, first, we entered the year having recently closed our acquisition of Angelo Gordon. We were focused on integrating our firms and bringing our people and capabilities together. We successfully executed on those objectives and are operating as one fully integrated firm. Importantly, we have begun to realize the revenue synergies and business-building opportunities enabled by the combination. Second, we exceeded the ambitious fundraising targets we set for ourselves, raising $30 billion in 2024. Third, we expected to make significant progress on organic growth and innovation, which we did. For example, we raised nearly $2 billion for our Norworld GP-led secondary fund, GGS, which we believe is the largest first-time fund of its kind. And we successfully launched a transition…

and our portfolio company, Intersect Power, entered into a strategic partnership with Google. As part of this collaboration, Intersect Power is targeting $20 billion in renewable power investment by the end of the decade to support an innovative approach to data center development. Google is also a member of the RISE Climate Coalition, demonstrating the power of our strategic relationships to drive differentiated opportunities. In our credit strategies, we deployed nearly $5 billion in the fourth quarter and over $16 billion in 2024. Our middle market direct lending platform, Twinbrook, had a record year with over $11 billion of gross originations. During the year, Twinbrook transacted with nearly 70 unique sponsors, demonstrating our leading position in the lower middle market. Our incumbency among a growing base of high-quality sponsors and borrowers is a powerful embedded source of origination. We completed nearly 300 add-ons with over 100 existing borrowers in 2024. In structured credit, we deployed more than $3.5 billion during the year, continuing to leverage the power of our longstanding partnerships with some of the largest financial institutions in the world to help solve their financing and capital needs. We recently completed a significant capital relief trade with one of the largest banks in the US, and we upsized the forward flow arrangement with a leading consumer finance company to purchase $1.3 billion of whole loans. In credit solutions, our deployment pace has continued to accelerate as we find significantly greater value in the private markets. We're building a portfolio of bespoke, bilaterally negotiated senior secured investments with significant downside protection. We believe Credit Solutions is well-positioned as a lender of choice, and our pipeline continues to build given the growing number of companies seeking creative solutions to address their capital needs in a higher-for-longer rate environment. Similarly, in real…

Thanks, Jon. Thank you all for joining us today. I'll begin with a discussion of our financial results and investment performance before wrapping up with our outlook for the year. As Jon noted, 2024 was an outstanding year across the firm, including a strong finish in the fourth quarter, with after-tax distributable earnings of $261 million, our highest level yet as a public company. Fee-related revenue in the fourth quarter was $461 million, consistent with the third quarter. This included $19 million in FRPR, primarily attributable to incentive fees from one of our direct lending SMAs. For the full year, FRR of $1.8 billion increased 37% year over year, primarily driven by the contribution from TPG AG following the closing of the acquisition. We reported fee-related earnings of $190 million for the fourth quarter and $764 million for the full year, which increased 26% compared to 2023. Our 2024 FRE margin was 42%, consistent with our previous guidance that we would exceed 40%. As Jon mentioned, realized performance allocations totaled $105 million in the fourth quarter, which is the second-highest quarter since we went public three years ago. This reflects the strength and increased diversification of our business, as well as our ongoing efforts to drive monetizations across the firm. It's important to highlight that $43 million, or 41%, was generated by our credit strategies, including structured credit, credit solutions, and middle market direct lending. In addition, on the private equity side, our capital and growth platforms generated $35 million and $23 million, respectively, from monetizations primarily within the technology sector. For the full year, realized performance allocations were $195 million compared to $74 million in 2023. Our clients remain very focused on DPI as a key performance metric, and our ability to drive successful realizations continues to be a…

Driven by the following.

Jack Weingart

Management

Number one, continued scaling of our credit platform as we successfully introduce and expand our client partnerships across our credit strategies. Number two, additional closes for our climate, private equity, and infrastructure campaigns. Number three, the completion of our TPG growth campaign. Number four, initial closes for our next flagship buyout funds, TPG Capital, and Healthcare Partners. Number five, initial closes for our next generation funds in our GP solutions, tech adjacency strategies, and in RISE, our broad-based impact private equity fund. And six, increasing penetration of the high net worth market generally. We're building new products like TPOP and investing in our distribution team. Regarding the timing around TPOP, I'd like to note that we continue to make steady progress toward our goal of launching in the first quarter. This would enable us to collect indications from our initial channel partners and position us to go live with the fund in the second quarter. Stepping back, I'd like to provide some perspective on 2024 and our outlook for 2025. We entered 2024 excited about our acquisition of Angelo Gordon and focused on putting the building blocks in place for our next wave of growth. We've made great progress and have begun to capitalize on the revenue synergies we discussed at the time of the acquisition. Financially, we always expected 2024 to be a transitional year with slower growth as we raised significant capital to scale our credit businesses that wouldn't flow into FAUM until 2025, and as our new climate PE and infrastructure funds wouldn't activate until late last year. Consistent with that expectation, fee-earning AUM of $141 billion at the end of 2024 grew approximately 3% versus year-end 2023. This was driven by several timing-related factors. First, in our capital platform, step-downs and monetizations exceeded fee-earning capital during…

Again, please limit yourself to one question. We'll take our first question from Ken Worthington with JPMorgan. You may proceed.

Ken Worthington

Analyst

Hi. Good morning. Thanks for taking the question. I wanted to follow up on your annual TPG Partners meeting. You mentioned the doubling of AUM in the coming years. Where do you place a bigger presence in an opportunity for insurance in your list of priorities, which you commented being credit, climate, growth, and wealth? As you highlighted what is important, and were there themes that either reoccurred throughout your gathering that you think might be helpful to shareholders as we think about the next couple of years here?

Jon Winkelried

Management

Thanks, Ken. Appreciate that. You know, let me frame it the following way. This is what I did at the partner meeting. We spent a lot of time talking about each of these drivers, but I think the easiest way to frame it is there are sort of five core growth drivers that we think about in terms of doubling our AUM again. The first would be, and some of these you'll recognize, but the first would be continuing to grow our core. I think as you know, we've always talked about our investing performance and the quality of our performance, as well as the relationships that we have with our clients. On the back of that, I think we have been, since our IPO, able to grow our fund over fund sizes anywhere between 10% to 30%, and that's been a core objective of ours. We continue to be focused on our ability to grow in an appropriate way vintage over vintage. So number one is growing our core. Number two would be continuing our track record of organic innovation, which we've talked a lot about on this call, and, importantly, scaling what we've built. I think, as you know, we've had a very good track record of growing our firm through organic innovation, a series of step-out strategies, and we generally see the opportunities built into them and then try to scale over time. I think examples of that that are important that we've already mentioned, but just to reiterate, are things like our secondary strategy, TGS, the fundraise that we're engaging now for our tech adjacency strategy, Tika, which I mentioned, where we closed on nearly half of our target for our first fund, which is our first growth equity strategy in Asia. Hybrid, which I talked…

Alex Blostein

Analyst · Goldman Sachs.

Hi. Good morning, everybody.

Jon Winkelried

Management

Hey. Good morning.

Alex Blostein

Analyst · Goldman Sachs.

Just maybe to build on that, Jon. When it comes to insurance, we've talked about it for a couple of quarters now. Maybe just remind us how important is it for TPG to remain fairly balance sheet light and capital light as you evaluate various insurance opportunities out there? A bit of a follow-up to that, not so much related to insurance, but to partnerships broadly, we've seen a number of alternative asset managers form partnerships with some of the larger traditional firms, more in the GD fashion, more in kind of product creation and distribution. How important is that for you guys as you're thinking about your plan over the next several years?

Jon Winkelried

Management

Yeah. Well, I think on the first part of your question, it relates to the balance sheet considerations. We've said this consistently, I think that we are open-minded. I think the most important thing for us is finding the right partner in terms of quality, in terms of the ability to grow, and the nature of how that partner wants to engage with us. We've put a pretty high bar on that and will continue to. I think that we're mindful of the fact that if you think about growth in the markets today, what we're finding and what we're observing is that there's sort of an interesting convergence going on between the market and our shareholder base appreciating and wanting us to continue to be focused on the, let's call it, the balance sheet light model. Essentially, drive our growth, the FRE growth, and some combination of FRE and PRE growth driving the value creation for our shareholders. But on the other hand, wanting some of the leveraging effects of having a strong balance sheet and having some inherent ability to leverage that balance sheet to drive growth. I think, in fact, in conversations that you and I have had, I think you would call that sort of your take and eat it too strategy. We're trying to think through, as we look at different opportunities, we're trying to think through that balance. To be honest with you, I think we're sort of going to know it when we see it in terms of what feels right for us. But I don't think that we'll end up in a position where we transform ourselves into a full-on kind of balance sheet heavy model. I do not think we will do that. I think it'll be more of a hybrid…

Thank you. Our next question comes from Michael Cyprys with Morgan Stanley.

Michael Cyprys

Analyst · Morgan Stanley.

Great. Thank you. Good morning. Just coming back to your commentary around looking to double AUM over the next several years. It sounds like that could maybe be under five years. Maybe I'm putting words in your mouth. But is that fair just how you're thinking about that? You also mentioned five of the biggest drivers. Just curious which of those do you see as the most meaningful or two? How much would you sort of anticipate from organic versus inorganic? And then on the inorganic side, maybe just remind us of your hurdles, the criteria, maybe you can elaborate on some of the areas that you're thinking about. You've mentioned broadly infrastructure and geographic expansion. Thank you.

Jon Winkelried

Management

I think your characterization of the time frame, Mike, is fair. I use the word several years, and so I think your characterization of it is fair and in the ballpark. It's hard to predict exactly what kinds of opportunities are realizable when, so I'd leave it at that on the timing. With respect to how to think about these drivers, maybe one way to characterize that, I tried to take a shot at thinking about through a combination of fund over fund growth, organic innovation, growing those strategies, and continuing to build into the wealth channel. Just our normal fundraising, the expansion of our relationships into other products, for instance, we mentioned that with AG now fully integrated, our credit businesses are really benefiting from expanding relationships with large pools of capital. If you looked at our pipeline sheet, what you would see is that there are a lot of new relationships that are opening up for our credit platform. Without inorganic growth, I think that we feel like we wouldn't double, but we would get a significant amount of the way there. Let's call it something like $250 to $400 billion, something like that. Then using organic levers, between tuck-in strategies or add-in strategies that we think are interesting, like the categories that I mentioned, as well as insurance, I think that either gets us there or puts us over the top. It could be, don't hold me to those ratios because it could be some sort of mix of that depending upon the size of the opportunities that come along. One of the things I think we feel pretty strongly about is that if we see the right kinds of opportunities on the inorganic front, I think we feel like we have developed the expertise to know how to execute on those deals and also to know how to integrate them. What we've learned in the course of the Angelo Gordon transaction has been invaluable on that. You know us well enough to know that the integration has gone extremely well. We're operating as one firm. We're starting new strategies together like hybrid, which is a co-sponsored strategy between PE and credit. You can't really do that, doing deals like we talked about last quarter, like Dish as an example, like DirectTV Dish, and what we were able to put together on the credit side there combined with our private equity capabilities, you can't do that unless these teams are operating well together. So that's how I would frame it for you.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Glenn Schorr with Evercore.

Glenn Schorr

Analyst · Evercore.

Hello there.

Jon Winkelried

Management

Hey, Glenn.

Glenn Schorr

Analyst · Evercore.

So I appreciate the aspiration versus target, and there's a lot of moving parts. We always want to try to pin you down to numbers, so I apologize. Curious within this conversation about the asset growth and all the drivers underneath. How do you think about FRE alongside with that? Meaning, can it grow in lockstep with the asset growth given more drivers? If you had any thoughts on how to define significantly more capital being raised next year, that'd be great also. Appreciate it.

Jon Winkelried

Management

Well, I think that I'll take a shot at it, and then maybe Jack might have some perspective on this as well. If you look at the FRE growth dynamics and map that against the growth of our business, maybe the visual that I would use or the way I would frame it conceptually, Glenn, is that I think that our FRE kind of follows the growth of our strategies, the innovation, the organic innovation, and kind of stair steps. What ends up happening is we start these new strategies. Vintage one is usually something that we kind of put together through some combination of partnerships that we have with strong relationships of ours, invest while we're doing that, then raise more capital based upon people being able to tangibly see how we're investing. That sort of is what we use to build into kind of version one. There have been occasionally a few exceptions to that that are what I would call sort of a bit of an outlier, like what Jim and the impact team did on Climate One as an example in terms of raising a very large-scale first-generation fund, which is unusual in our industry. But generally, that's kind of how we innovate. Then what happens is based upon the success of that, we then can go into vintage two in a more normalized kind of capital formation way, which expands the capital base and leverages our ability to do that and leverages on the team. What we generally try to do is we generally try to use existing resources to the best we can to lever into these organic builds. Then as the capital base grows, we add resources to it. We add, you know, where we're in order for it to be kind of both FRE accretive, margin accretive, etcetera. But it usually takes, I mean, one of the things that if you study it, what you'll find is that organic innovation in our industry takes a long time to get to sort of scaled fund sizes. But it pays off because, obviously, it's very accretive. The way you build it and it's very, from a shareholder perspective, I think it's very value additive. I think we've been able to do this consistently. So I see it more like a stair-step function, which for us, if you look at kind of where our platform is and where our margins are, and what we've said we are trying to accomplish in terms of scaling our various platforms as well as the way we build into it, for us, the key is that we continue to get to that level of scale where we really start to see that kind of next stage of margin expansion because FRE is kind of growing faster than, you know, and we're scaling the infrastructure, essentially. So that's how I would describe it. I don't know if you would add anything to that.

Jack Weingart

Management

Yeah, I'm not sure that's responsible. I mean, Glenn, I would basically say what you're asking, well, I think you're asking is about FRE margin expansion, and as we get to, call it, $400 to $500 billion of AUM and scale FAUM similarly, we should definitely see more operating leverage, and I talked about our near-term target for FRE margin. By the time we get to this kind of size, we should clearly be in the fifties. So not only should, in my mind, not only should FRE expand alongside AUM, it should expand faster than AUM because we'll definitely be generating operating leverage on our expense base.

Glenn Schorr

Brian Bedell

Analyst · Deutsche Bank.

Hi. Hi. Good afternoon, folks.

Jon Winkelried

Management

Oh, good morning still. Sorry.

Brian Bedell

Analyst · Deutsche Bank.

Question on the, I guess it's a two-part question. One on how you're seeing the impact from the partnership with Intersect Power, your portfolio company, and RISE Climate, and Google, in terms of the, I guess, just, you know, first of all, the financial impact to TPG from that partnership. And then longer term, the potential for more of these types of partnerships in growing the impact platform broadly. And I guess just linking it into the $500 billion, to what extent do you see the opportunity in impact and infrastructure, assuming that you're going to keep infrastructure in the impact platform, you know, for this to be the fastest grower in your business overall, maybe even to get to the size, you know, comparable to the capital platform in five years?

James Coulter

Analyst · Deutsche Bank.

Sure. This is Jim Coulter. Let me give a report from the front on the climate impact side of the business where activity remains very high while atmospherics also are obviously shifting in the background. The Intersect Google relationship that you talk about is a very important relationship, and I think it's indicative of what's happening on the ground in the climate marketplace. Let me give you four quick points on this. First of all, we get questions from time to time on our existing portfolio. It's the same for us because we launched the climate effort in the middle of the Trump administration not expecting the IRA, etcetera. So as we built that portfolio, most of the capital went in before the IRA. Post the IRA, as experienced investors in regulated industries, we knew which neighborhoods to stay out of. We're seeing very muted effects in our portfolio. In fact, we just exited one of our positions, NaxTracker, and a company that has grown very strongly throughout all this. So portfolio effects seem quite muted so far. Secondly, there's a lot of attention on the US right now. I would make sure that you pay attention to what's happening around the world. Last year, 65% of energy-related spending was on clean energy. The question of how much drilling one is doing is dependent on whether you have fossil fuels to drill for, which is not true in most of the world. So the robust opportunities internationally remain high. Third, to your point on data centers, there's a lot of attention right now on what's happening in Washington and its effect on things like offshore wind and EVs, which were areas we've been quite vocal about avoiding historically. While that debate has been going on, we're seeing an absolute explosion…

Thank you. Our next question comes from Mike Brown with Wells Fargo Securities.

Mike Brown

Analyst · Wells Fargo Securities.

Okay. Great. Thanks for taking my question. So lots of commentary on the management fee dynamics in the fourth quarter, and it's clear that the pieces are in place for growth here in 2025. But just given some of the noise here, I was just hoping to maybe narrow in on the quarter-over-quarter movement in 1Q and maybe just the right range to consider here as we think about our forecast here for 1Q. Thank you.

Jack Weingart

Management

Yeah. Hey, Mike. I think what I said in my comments is we do expect, obviously, FAUM and FRR growth throughout this year. We've been working hard throughout 2024 to put the building blocks in place for that. If you think about the trajectory of that growth during the year this year, it should accelerate toward the back half of the year. As we add more funds to the fundraising pipeline, I talked a bit about the roadmap for fundraising for the year. One of the big events for this year is going to be the addition of our TPG Capital and Healthcare Partners funds. We expect to increase the size of that capital base fund over fund just like we did in the last cycle. We expect to hold our first close around midyear. So activation will depend upon when the current funds are fully deployed. If you assume an activation in the back half of the year, that activation should accelerate FRR growth. So I'd expect moderate growth in the first quarter, accelerating toward the back half of the year.

Mike Brown

Thank you. Our next question comes from Arnaud Gidloth with BNP.

Arnaud Gidloth

Analyst · BNP.

Yeah. Good morning. A quick question on Intersect. If I heard well, it's a $20 billion opportunity with Google. I'm just wondering how the economics of this is captured, whether this is through a fund or through co-invest and one of the economics in that deal. Secondly, if I could just have a quick follow-up in bridging the growth in AUM and FAUM in the capital and infra growth. I was wondering if there was any current invest that gets captured in the AUM and FAUM that probably would never then turn fee-paying. Is there any advantage, just the timing, the timing activation date? Thank you.

James Coulter

Analyst · BNP.

Yeah. On Intersect, to be clear, that is a fund-level investment. Our opportunity to grow with that would be continued investment into Intersect as it moves forward with its strategy. I think it's indicative of a larger trend, which is multiple opportunities like Intersect that are flowing into the market today because of this grid growth based on a radical shift in the demand for energy in the US. So think of it as ongoing opportunity to invest into Intersect and opportunity to expand that strategy as a way of driving growth in our infrastructure and climate activity.

Jack Weingart

Management

On the co-invest, there's always, I mean, I mentioned some of the big drivers of the FAUM delta in Q4. We always are going to have some of our capital raise come through no fee, no carry co-invest vehicles. It's an important part of our business. As I'm sure you know from all the LPs in the industry, delivering co-invest is kind of table stakes to their view of relationships. So every quarter, we will have a portion of our capital raising in no fee, no carry co-invest vehicles. That was the case for us in some of our credit capital raising in Q4. It was the case, for example, in TPG Capital where we disclosed how much capital we raised. We're obviously not in the market for either Asia or the capital campaigns now. So most of what you saw on the capital platform would have been in co-invest alongside the deals we're doing in capital. That would go in cycles, but over time, you should expect that to be an important part of our business as it is for our LPs.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Dan Fannon with Jefferies.

Dan Fannon

Analyst · Jefferies.

Thanks. Good morning. I wanted to follow up on credit performance. You know, good in, we think about this past year, you know, one year kind of post-integration of the deal. Curious about just kind of the growth outlook, where you are in kind of maximizing the integration and, you know, kind of pro forma leverage of that of the combined businesses as we think about, you know, 2025 and beyond.

Jon Winkelried

Management

I still think it's early days in a lot of respects in terms of maximizing the combination. I think you heard me mention the opening of the dialogue with many of our largest pools of capital that are partners of ours. Obviously, in certain respects, with many of those, our credit teams were meeting some of those partners for the first time. In any asset class, raising capital is a multi-meeting cycle. If you observe how the pace of that really works. We're now at this stage deep into that process, multiple meeting cycles with large pools of capital, some of which we are working on customized multiproduct multistrategy SMAs, some of which are single product-focused, depending on how those LPs want to allocate, but it's across the board. The engagement is really across the board now. If you looked at our pipeline and where we expect to convert on a number of those dialogues, I think that those represent significant incremental allocations to those strategies that will meaningfully expand our capital base. That's happened already, where we were able to create those conversions, but there's still a lot of that on the comp. I think that, in a lot of respects, it's still early days in terms of the expansion of the credit capabilities across the strategies. Remember, the platform is a multi-strategy business. It's not a monoline business. There are different types of partnerships with different types of LPs that are available to us that we're working on across the distribution of different types of LP partners of ours. I think that, also, given the nature of the integration of AG into TPG and the combination of the combined brand, if you will, the reach that I think and penetration that we can have in the private wealth and kind of mass affluent channels is different as a result of AG now being part of TPG. The relationships that we have with channel partners. I think that that's also another area where there's a lot of white space for us in terms of growing our penetration. So I think a lot more to come there.
