NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Perella Weinberg Partners (formerly known as FinTech Acquisition Corp. IV (the “Company”(“FTIV”)) is a blank check companywas incorporated in Delaware on November 20, 2018. The Company was formed2018 as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of acquiring through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets that the Company has not yet identified (a “Business Combination”). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated significant revenue to date.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through September 30, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on Septemberbusiness combination. On June 24, 2020. On September 29, 20202021, the Company consummated a business combination pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement among various parties, resulting in FTIV acquiring partnership interests in PWP OpCo, and PWP OpCo becoming jointly-owned by Perella Weinberg Partners, PWP Professional Partners LP (“Professional Partners”) and existing partners, as part of an umbrella limited partnership C-corporation (Up-C) structure (the “Business Combination”).

The operations of PWP OpCo are conducted through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Perella Weinberg Partners Group LP, and its subsidiaries which are consolidated in these financial statements. PWP GP LLC is the Initial Public Offeringgeneral partner that controls PWP OpCo. The limited partner interests of 23,000,000 unitsPWP OpCo are held by Investor Limited Partners (the “Units”“ILPs”) and with respectProfessional Partners. The Company shareholders are entitled to thereceive a portion of PWP OpCo’s economics through their direct ownership interests in shares of Class A common stock included inof PWP. The non-controlling interest owners of PWP OpCo receive economics through ownership of PWP OpCo Class A partnership units (“PWP OpCo Units”). See Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity for additional information.
Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwritersfinancial condition, results of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closingoperations and cash flows of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 610,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to FinTech Investor Holdings IV, LLC (collectively with FinTech Masala Advisors IV, LLC, the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,100,000, which is described in Note 4. The manager of each entity of the Sponsor is Cohen Sponsor Interests IV, LLC.

Transaction costs amounted to $14,255,791, consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $9,800,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $455,791 of other offering costs. In addition, at September 30, 2020, cash of $1,634,508 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 29, 2020, an amount of $230,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if it does not complete an initial Business Combination by September 29, 2022 (the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; or (iii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below, except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to pay the Company’s tax obligations, if the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or upon any earlier liquidation of the Company.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) rules provide that the Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the representatives (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “Insiders”) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), the shares of Class A common stock included in the Private Placement Units (the “Private Placement Shares”) and any Public Shares held by them in favor of approving a Business Combination.

The Company will have until the expiration of the Combination Period to consummate its initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of its affairs; (ii) distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes and up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses, pro rata to the public stockholders by way of redemption of the Public Shares (which redemption would completely extinguish such holders’ rights as stockholders, including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company’s net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation.

The Company will also provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with any stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of Public Shares if it does not complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially approximately $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). The per-share amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the representatives (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights with respect to the Company’s warrants in connection with such a stockholder vote to approve such an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not redeem shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Insiders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by them in favor of any such amendment.

The Insiders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares, as applicable, (i) in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if it does not complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (b) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, and (iii) if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Insiders have also agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Public Shares held by them in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination and in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if it does not complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. However, the Insiders will be entitled to redemption rights with respect to Public Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination or liquidates within the Combination Period. The representative has agreed to waive its rights to deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Initial Public Offering. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. FinTech Investor Holdings IV, LLC has agreed that it will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for service rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, it may not be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise.

(Unaudited)

Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of its Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions in connection with its Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to an aggregate of 15% or more of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering. However, there is no restriction on the Company’s stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares for or against a Business Combination.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for. All intercompany balances and transactions between the consolidated subsidiaries comprising the Company have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited, and as permitted by the interim reporting rules and regulations set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), exclude certain financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnotenote disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have beenU.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensedconsolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes theretofor the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on September 25, 2020, as well as the audited balance sheet included in the Company’s CurrentAnnual Report on Form 8-K, as filed with10-K. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the SEC on October 5, 2020. The interimopinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the threeinterim periods.

Consolidation
The Company’s policy is to consolidate entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative ofvariable interest entities where the resultsCompany is deemed to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

primary beneficiary. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) when it has both (i) the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the Securities Act, as modified byVIE and (ii) the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Actobligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. PWP is the primary beneficiary of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantageconsolidates PWP OpCo, a VIE. As of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply withJune 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirementsnet assets of Section 404PWP OpCo were $239.5 million and $237.9 million, respectively. As of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reportsJune 30, 2023 and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies,December 31, 2022, the Company as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

did not consolidate any VIEs other than PWP OpCo.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformityaccordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actualperiod. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Estimates and the assumptions underlying these estimates are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which they are determined to be necessary.

Non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities are computed for differences betweentranslated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and income, expenses, gains and losses are generally translated using the average exchange rate throughout the period. Cumulative translation adjustments arising from the translation of non-U.S. dollar denominated operations are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statement and tax basesstatements.
Future Adoption of assets and liabilitiesAccounting Pronouncements
No changes to U.S. GAAP that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differencesare not yet effective are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately $4,500, which had a full valuation allowance recorded against it of approximately $4,500. Deferred tax assets were deemed to be immaterial as of December 31, 2019.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal, state and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal, state and city tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 7,870,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock that were subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised by the underwriters. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s unaudited condensed statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share for common shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account of $63 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, less applicable franchise and income taxes capped at $63 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock since issuance. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the periods. Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock includes the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

As of September 30, 2020, the carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less. The fair value for trading securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Founder Shares

In November 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,382,500 shares of common stock to the Sponsor (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The Company received payment for the Founder Shares in May 2019.

Refer to Note 11—Warrants for further information regarding the Warrant Exchange Offer.
Note 15—Fair Value Measurements and Investments
Fair value is generally based on quoted prices, however if quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on other relevant factors, including dealer price quotations, price activity for equivalent instruments and valuation pricing models. The Company established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of instrument, the characteristics specific to the instrument and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Financial instruments with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories (from highest to lowest) based on inputs:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given investment is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a Business Combinationparticular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the instrument.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these items.

On July 17, 2016, the Court issued a decision, dismissing half of Defendants’ claims with prejudice. On August 18, 2016, Defendants filed an Amended Answer, Counterclaims, Cross-claims and Third-Party Complaint, with seven counterclaims and cross-claims. On December 12, 2016, Defendants appealed the dismissal of three of their counterclaims and cross-claims to the New York Appellate Division, First Department (the “First Department”). On August 29, 2017, the First Department issued a decision denying Defendants’ appeal other than allowing one Defendant to proceed with his breach of fiduciary duty counterclaim. On October 27, 2017, Defendants moved the First Department for leave to appeal its decision to the New York Court of Appeals. On December 28, 2017, the First Department denied Defendants’ motion for leave. On April 24, 2018, Defendants filed a Second Amended Answer, Counterclaims, Cross-claims and Third-Party Complaint, with eight counterclaims and cross-claims. Defendants are seeking declaratory relief and damages of no less than $60.0 million, as well as statutory interest. In addition, on January 19, 2022, Defendants filed a motion for leave to renew their New York Labor Law counterclaim that the Court dismissed in 2016. On June 30, 2023, the Court issued a decision denying Defendants’ motion for leave.
Discovery is complete. Both the PWP Plaintiffs and Defendants subsequently moved for summary judgment. On March 20, 2020, the parties completed briefing of their respective motions. The Court held oral argument on the motions on May 27, 2021. On May 24, 2023, the Court issued a decision and order on both motions for summary judgment (the “Summary Judgment Decision”). The Court granted the PWP Plaintiffs’ motion with respect to the restrictive covenants in the PWP Plaintiffs’ agreements, finding that they are valid and enforceable, and otherwise denied the motion. The Court denied Defendants’ motion in its entirety. On July 25, 2023, Defendants filed a notice of appeal of the Summary Judgment Decision.
We believe that our 14 causes of action are meritorious. Further, we believe that we have meritorious defenses to Defendants’ remaining counterclaims and cross-claims and plan to vigorously contest them. Litigation, however, can be uncertain and there can be no assurance that any judgment for one or more of Defendants or other outcome of the case would not have a material adverse effect on us. Additionally, even if we prevail in the litigation and are awarded damages, we do not know if we will be able to fully collect on any judgment against any or all Defendants.
Legal and professional fees incurred related to this litigation are presented net of expected insurance reimbursement within Professional fees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 25% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock issued and outstanding upon completion of the Business Combination, including Private Placement Shares, plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination).

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock are, at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of Warrants for Cash.  The Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption for cash, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 50% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of its Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officersManagement’s Discussion and directors, references to the “Sponsor” refer to FinTech Investor Holdings IV, LLCAnalysis of Financial Condition and FinTech Masala Advisors IV, LLC. Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’sour financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and therelated notes thereto containedincluded elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in theForm 10-Q. This discussion and analysis set forth below includescontains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Special Our actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Executive Overview
We are a leading global independent advisory firm that provides strategic and financial advice to clients across a range of the most active industry sectors and international markets. Our wide range of global clients include large public multinational corporations, mid-sized public and private companies, individual entrepreneurs, private and institutional investors, creditor committees and government institutions.
PWP OpCo serves as the Company’s operating partnership as part of an umbrella limited partnership C-corporation (Up-C) structure and is jointly owned by Perella Weinberg Partners, Professional Partners and certain other partners of PWP OpCo. The Company shareholders are entitled to receive a portion of PWP OpCo’s economics through their ownership interests in shares of Class A common stock of Perella Weinberg Partners, which holds PWP OpCo Units. The non-controlling interest owners of PWP OpCo receive a portion of its economics through their ownership of PWP OpCo Units.
For further information regarding our business, refer to “Part I. Item 1. Business” and “Part I. Item1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023.
Business Environment and Outlook
While the market environment remains challenging, conditions improved during the most recent quarter and we are experiencing an increase in the level of M&A advisory dialogue across our industries and geographies. Headwinds which have hampered industry volumes include rising interest rates and inflation, credit spreads, market volatility, lower liquidity and capital availability, recession risk and geopolitical tensions, amongst others.

Notwithstanding these headwinds, our core advisory services benefit from macroeconomic changes that impact our client base and lead them to consider business combinations, acquisitions and divestitures, capital raises and restructurings. These changes can include a broad range of economic factors in global or local markets, technological advancements which alter the competitive landscape, regulatory and political policies, globalization, changing consumer preferences, commodity and financial market movements, among many other factors.
Economic and global financial conditions can materially affect our operational and financial performance. See “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of some of the factors that can affect our performance.
Key Financial Measures
Revenues
We operate in a highly competitive environment, and each revenue-generating engagement is separately solicited and negotiated. Our fee-paying client engagements are not predictable, and we may experience fluctuations in revenues from quarter to quarter. To develop new business, we maintain an active business dialogue with existing and potential clients, and we expect to add new clients each year through expanding our relationships, hiring senior advisory professionals, and receiving introductions from our relationship network. However, we also lose clients each year due to various factors, such as sales or mergers, changes in clients’ senior management, and competition from other financial services firms.
Our revenue recognition is often tied to the completion of a transaction, which can be delayed or terminated due to various reasons, including failure to obtain regulatory or board approval, failure to secure financing, or adverse market conditions. Larger transactions may take longer to close, adding unpredictability to the timing of revenues. Despite our efforts, we may receive lower advisory fees or no fee at all if a transaction is not completed. Other barriers to the completion of restructuring transactions include a lack of anticipated bidders, failure to obtain court approval, or a failure to reach an agreement with creditors. In such cases, our advisory fees may be limited to monthly retainer fees plus the reimbursement of expenses.
25


We do not present our revenue by the type of advice we provide because of the complexity of the transactions on which we may earn revenue and our holistic approach to client service. For instance, a traditional M&A engagement may require additional advisory services, such as capital markets or capital solutions advice or a private capital raise, which may call for cross-functional expertise from our professionals. We focus on dedicating the necessary resources and expertise to each engagement, regardless of product lines, to achieve the desired outcome for our clients. Consequently, tracking the type of advisory service offered in each instance is not practical.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are classified as (i) total compensation and benefits expenses including equity-based compensation and (ii) non-compensation expenses. Headcount is a primary driver of the level of our operating expenses. Compensation and benefits expenses account for the majority of our operating expenses. Compensation expenses also include expense associated with hiring which has been a significant focus of the Company in all of the historical periods described herein. Non-compensation expenses, which include the costs of professional fees, technology and infrastructure, rent and occupancy, travel and related expenses, general, administrative and other expenses and depreciation and amortization generally have been lower in comparison with compensation and benefits expenses.
Compensation and Benefits Expenses
Our compensation and benefits expenses consist of base salary, benefits, payroll taxes, cash bonus awards, deferred compensation awards, and amortization of equity-based compensation awards. Compensation is determined by management based on revenues earned, the competitiveness of the prevailing labor market and anticipated compensation requirements for our employees, the level of recruitment of new partners, the amount of compensation expense amortized for equity awards, and other relevant factors. Such factors can fluctuate, and as a result, our compensation expenses may fluctuate materially in any particular period and may not be consistent with prior periods or indicative of future periods. We intend to compensate our personnel competitively in order to continue building our business and growing our Company.
Equity-based awards are subject to a service vesting condition, and in some cases, a market-based performance vesting condition. The expense amortization of Legacy Awards and Professional Partners Awards is allocated to non-controlling interests as these awards have no economic impact on, and do not dilute, PWP shareholders relative to Professional Partners. The Business Combination Awards, which were granted outside the Company's normal and recurring compensation process, have $82.3 million of remaining amortization, which will be recognized over the next three years. The accounting for equity-based compensation expense, and potentially other factors as well, may cause the Company to experience operating losses in future periods.
Non-Compensation Expenses
Our non-compensation expenses include the costs of professional fees, technology and infrastructure, rent and occupancy, travel and related expenses, depreciation and amortization and general, administrative and other expenses. Our non-compensation expenses include certain co-advisory fees and expenses reimbursed by our clients. Revenues related to co-advisory fees and expenses reimbursed by clients are presented within revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Historically, our non-compensation expenses associated with business development have increased as we have increased our headcount. These costs include costs such as travel and related expenses which have increased due to increasing headcount, increasing prices charged by travel vendors and an increased volume of travel as COVID-19 pandemic-related travel restrictions have eased and we return to more normalized travel levels. Further, as we near completion of the renovations and relocation of our New York and London offices, depreciation and amortization expense is expected to continue to increase as leasehold improvements and other assets are placed into service. This increase will be partially mitigated by an expected decrease in rent and occupancy costs in the fourth quarter of 2023 once we no longer have overlapping rent costs.
Non-Operating Income (Expenses)
Non-operating income (expenses) includes the impact of income and expense items that we consider to be non-operational in nature, including related party income, interest income and expense, and other income (expense), which includes gains (losses) on foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Prior to the completion of the Warrant Exchange Offer on August 23, 2022, non-operating income (expenses) also included the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. The Warrant Exchange Offer resulted in the exchange of all outstanding warrants for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with a minimal cash settlement in lieu of partial shares. As a result, the warrant liabilities were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and the issuance of shares of Class A common stock was reflected within equity. There will be no future change in the fair value of warrant liabilities. Refer to Note Regarding Forward-Looking11—Warrants in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Revenues

Total Clients with Fees Greater than $1.0 million36326462
Average Fee Size$1.8 $1.9 $(0.1)$2.3 $2.6 $(0.3)
For the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared with the same period in 2022, revenues increased by 10%, which was driven by increased mergers and acquisition activity. Revenues attributed to financing and capital solutions were largely flat, though the composition was more weighted towards restructuring and liability management relative to the second quarter of 2022. The increase in revenues was supported by a meaningful increase in the number of advisory transaction completions, despite a slight decrease in average fee size per client.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 revenues decreased by 2% from the six months ended June 30, 2022. There was a modest increase in mergers and acquisition activity period-over-period that was offset by lower financing and capital solutions revenues due to certain large fee events in the prior year period. Relative to the six months ended June 30, 2022, the six months ended June 30, 2023 experienced an increase in the number of advisory transaction completions with a decrease in average fee size per client as well as fewer transactions with outsized fee events.

Compensation and Benefits Expenses
The increase in total compensation and benefits expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increased bonus accrual associated with higher revenues coupled with a higher year-to-date compensation margin. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company granted additional equity-based awards which led to the increase in equity-based compensation. Business Realignment costs of $5.1 million also contributed to the increase in total compensation and benefits, which included separation and transition benefits and the acceleration of equity-based compensation amortization (net of forfeitures) for terminated employees. Additional Business Realignment costs are expected during the remainder of 2023, as referenced below.
28


The increase in total compensation and benefits expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to a higher year-to-date compensation margin. Also, Business Realignment costs of $5.1 million were incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and higher equity-based compensation was a result of awards granted during the first quarter of 2023, both contributing to the overall increase. Approximately $18 million of additional Business Realignment costs are expected to be incurred during the second half of 2023, which is based on our current assumptions, and actual results may differ materially if unanticipated costs are incurred related to the Business Realignment.
Non-Compensation Expenses
The increase in non-compensation expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 included a $1.8 million increase in technology and infrastructure primarily related to certain investments, a $1.3 million increase in professional fees related to legal spend, and a $1.1 million increase in travel-related expenses due to the return to more normalized travel levels and increased headcount. As a result of the New York and London office renovations and relocation, rent and occupancy increased $1.3 million due to overlapping rent costs and depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.0 million as leasehold improvements and other related assets were placed into service. General, administrative, and other expenses decreased slightly primarily due to lower D&O insurance costs.
The increase in non-compensation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 included a $3.6 million increase in travel-related expenses due to the return to more normalized travel levels, increased costs of airfare and lodging, and increased headcount, and a $2.7 million increase in technology and infrastructure primarily related to certain investments. The $3.0 million increase in rent and occupancy and $0.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to overlapping rent costs and new assets being placed into service, respectively, from the office renovations and relocation. This overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $1.4 million related to a decrease in co-advisory consulting fees and recruiting fees despite an increase in legal fees, as well as a slight decrease in general, administrative and other expenses.
Non-Operating Income (Expenses)
The decrease in non-operating income (expenses) for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily related to the $10.1 million gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as the warrant price fell prior to the Warrant Exchange Offer. Other income (expense) includes foreign exchange rate fluctuations which resulted in a $1.1 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as opposed to a $3.8 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily related to U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany receivables held by our foreign subsidiaries as the U.S. dollar value fluctuated period over period. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the foreign exchange loss combined with a $1.4 million non-operating loss on certain investments was partially offset by $1.4 million of interest income earned largely on cash and investments in U.S. Treasury securities.
The decrease in non-operating income (expenses) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily related to the $22.1 million gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as the warrant price fell prior to the Warrant Exchange Offer. Other income (expense) includes foreign exchange rate fluctuations which resulted in a $2.2 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as opposed to a $5.2 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily related to U.S. dollar-denominated cash and intercompany receivables held by our foreign subsidiaries as the U.S. dollar value fluctuated period over period. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the foreign exchange loss and the non-operating loss on investment of $1.4 million was partially offset by $2.7 million of interest income earned largely on cash and investments in U.S. Treasury securities.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
The Company’s income tax benefit and effective tax rate were $4.5 million and 19.9%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to income tax expense and an effective tax rate of $3.1 million and 54.1%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rate were $0.7 million and (1.7)%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to income tax expense and an effective tax rate of $6.1 million and 62.3%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
29


The Company’s overall effective tax rate in each of the periods described above varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily because (i) a portion of the Company’s income is allocated to non-controlling interests held in PWP OpCo in which the majority of any tax liability on such income is borne by the holders of such non-controlling interests and reported outside of the condensed consolidated financial statements and (ii) a portion of the Company’s compensation expense is non-deductible for tax purposes and (iii) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a previously unrecognized tax benefit at one of its foreign subsidiaries as a result of the favorable resolution of an inquiry from a taxing authority, which caused the Company to change its assessment of the technical merits of this tax position
The change in the effective tax rate between the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and six months ended 2022 was primarily due to the relative impact of permanent differences on changes in pre-tax income, particularly the year-over-year change from pre-tax income to a pre-tax loss, as well as the recognition of a previously unrecognized tax benefit at one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Cash Flows
Our operating cash flows are primarily influenced by the amount and timing of receipt of advisory fees, which generally have net terms of 30 days, and the payment of operating expenses, including payments of incentive compensation to our employees. We pay a significant portion of incentive compensation during the first quarter of each calendar year with respect to the prior year’s results. Our investing and financing cash flows were primarily influenced by the payment of dividends, distributions to partners, purchases and maturities of treasury shares, purchase of fixed assets and withholding payments for vesting of PWP Incentive Plan Awards during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
A summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows is as follows:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
The Company’s cash and restricted cash were $132.4 million as of June 30, 2023, resulting in a decrease of $41.8 million from December 31, 2022. Cash, restricted cash and short-term marketable debt securities (U.S. Treasuries) were $182.4 million as of June 30, 2023, a decrease of $131.9 million from December 31, 2022. The Company’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included non-cash charges and other adjustments, largely comprised of equity-based awards vesting expense, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash operating lease expense. The Company’s net operating cash outflow was predominantly due to the payment of the prior year’s annual bonus compensation. Accounts receivable, net of allowance balance declined from the December 31, 2022 balance due to the timing of collections. Investing activities resulted in a net inflow as a result of the maturities of investments of certain U.S. Treasury securities. This inflow was partially offset by additional investments of excess cash in U.S. Treasury securities and the purchase of fixed assets largely related to the New York and London office renovations and relocation. Financing activities resulted in a net outflow related to the repurchase of shares pursuant to the stock repurchase program, withholding payments for vesting of PWP Incentive Plan Awards, distributions to partners, and the payment of dividends.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Cash and restricted cash were $153.0 million as of June 30, 2022, a decrease of $351.8 million from $504.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company recorded net income of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 which includes $69.6 million of non-cash charges, largely comprised of the equity-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. This operating cash inflow was offset by working capital needs predominantly due to the payment of the annual bonus compensation which occurs in the first quarter of each year, resulting in a net outflow to cash of $145.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Investing activities resulted in a net outflow of $119.0 million largely attributable to investments of cash in treasury securities as well as the purchases of fixed assets. Financing activities resulted in a net outflow of $77.2 million primarily related to the repurchase of shares pursuant to the stock repurchase program, distributions to partners, withholding payments for vesting of incentive awards and the payment of dividends.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We regularly monitor our liquidity position, including cash and cash equivalents, working capital assets and liabilities, commitments and other liquidity requirements. Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash balances, our investments in short-term marketable debt securities, the net cash generated from operations and the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Our current assets are primarily composed of cash, investments in short-term marketable securities, receivables related to fees earned from providing advisory services, certain prepaid expenses and certain amounts due from related parties. Our current liabilities are primarily composed of accrued employee compensation, accounts payable and other accrued expenses. We generally pay a significant portion of our annual incentive compensation, in the form of cash bonuses, during the first quarter of each calendar year with respect to the prior year’s results. Therefore, levels of cash and/or investments in short-term marketable securities generally decline during the first quarter of each year after our annual incentive compensation has been paid to our employees and typically builds over the remainder of the year. The Company makes quarterly partner tax distributions as required under the PWP OpCo LPA. Additionally, we intend to pay dividends throughout each year and intend to continue our share repurchases under the share repurchase program described below. The Company has utilized its option to net settle shares upon the vesting of PWP Incentive Plan Awards in order to remit required employee withholding taxes by using cash on hand as well as purchasing shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program described below.
We evaluate our cash needs on a regular basis in light of current market and business conditions and regulatory requirements. Cash includes both cash and interest-bearing money market accounts and cash equivalents are defined as short-term highly liquid investments that have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash balances of $129.8 million and $171.6 million, respectively, maintained in U.S. and non-U.S. bank accounts, of which most bank account balances exceeded the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and U.K. Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”) coverage limits. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held investments in short-term marketable debt securities, consisting entirely of U.S. Treasury securities, of $50.0 million and $140.1 million.
Our liquidity is highly dependent upon cash receipts from clients, which generally require the successful completion of transactions. Accounts receivable generally have net terms of 30 days. Accounts receivable were $51.0 million, net of a $2.0 million allowance for credit losses balance as of June 30, 2023. Accounts receivable were $67.9 million, net of a $1.1 million allowance for credit losses balance as of December 31, 2022.
Line of Credit
The Company has a Revolving Credit Facility with Cadence Bank with an available line of credit of $50.0 million. Additionally, up to $20.0 million of incremental revolving commitments above the $50.0 million commitment amount may be incurred under the Credit Agreement. On June 30, 2023, the Company amended the Credit Agreement in order to provide for Term SOFR as the replacement benchmark rate for LIBOR, and to make certain other technical changes to the Credit Agreement related thereto. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding balance related to the Revolving Credit Facility and no incremental revolving commitments were incurred. For further information on the Revolving Credit Facility, refer to Note 10—Debt in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Based on current market conditions, we believe that our cash on hand, the investments in short-term marketable debt securities, the net cash generated from operations and the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our operating needs and commitments for the next twelve months; however, if these sources of liquidity are not sufficient, we may seek additional debt or equity financing.
31


Share Repurchase Program
The Company’s board of directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $200.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock with no requirement to purchase any minimum number of shares. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased 919,379 and 2,376,683 shares, at a cost of $7.7 million and $22.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 $108.8 million remains of the $200 million share repurchase authorization.
Other Commitments and Contractual Obligations
Regulatory Capital
We actively monitor our regulatory capital base. Our principal subsidiaries are subject to regulatory requirements in their respective jurisdictions to ensure general financial soundness and liquidity. This requires, among other things, that we comply with certain minimum capital requirements, record-keeping, reporting procedures, experience and training requirements for employees and certain other requirements and procedures. These regulatory requirements may restrict the flow of funds to and from affiliates. Refer to Note 6—Regulatory Requirements in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information. These regulations differ in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France and other countries in which we operate a registered broker-dealer or regionally similar construct. The license or regulatory framework under which we operate in each such country is meant to comply with applicable laws and regulations to conduct an advisory business. We believe that we provide each of our subsidiaries with sufficient capital and liquidity, consistent with their business and regulatory requirements to effectively operate in each jurisdiction.
Exchange Rights
In accordance with the PWP OpCo LPA, PWP OpCo Unitholders (other than the Company) may exchange these units for (i) shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or (ii) cash from an offering of shares of Class A common stock with the form of consideration determined by the Company. See Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in the Form 10-Q for further information.
Sponsor Share Surrender and Share Restriction Agreement
Concurrent with the Business Combination Agreement, FTIV, PWP OpCo and certain other parties entered into the Sponsor Share Surrender and Share Restriction Agreement with the Sponsor, which was amended on May 4, 2021. See Note 11—Stockholders' Equity in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with PWP OpCo, Professional Partners and ILPs that provides for payment of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local and foreign income taxes that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of (a) each exchange of interests in PWP OpCo for cash or stock of the Company and certain other transactions and (b) payments made under the tax receivable agreement. See Note 16—Related Party Transactions in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in the Form 10-Q for further information as well as the expected timing of payments.
Leases and Capital Expenditures
We have various non-cancelable operating leases in connection with the leases of our office spaces and equipment. See Note 4—Leases in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information as well as the expected timing of payments. The Company signed new lease agreements for the London office and the New York office spaces, which expand our square footage meaningfully in both locations in order to accommodate our anticipated growth. This expansion increased our contractual obligations as well as required capital contributions towards construction of these spaces (mitigated in part by free rent periods and tenant improvement allowances). Construction of the London space was completed in February 2023 and completion of the New York space is expected by the end of 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Company estimates spending approximately $14 million to complete the construction of the New York space, net of tenant improvement allowances.
Business Realignment
We currently estimate that approximately $18 million of cash payments remain related to the Business Realignment, which are expected to be paid by or soon after December 31, 2023.
32


Market Risk and Credit Risk
Our business is not capital-intensive and we do not invest in derivative instruments. We are not subject to significant market risk (including interest rate risk and commodity price risk) or significant credit risk.
Risks Related to Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents include any short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Cash is maintained in U.S. and non-U.S. bank accounts. Most U.S. and U.K. account balances exceed the FDIC and FSCS coverage limits. We believe our cash and cash equivalents are not subject to any material interest rate risk, equity price risk, credit risk or other market risk.
Credit Risk
We regularly review our accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable, and the current economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay such amounts owed to the Company. We maintain an allowance for credit losses that, in our opinion, provides for an adequate reserve to cover current expected credit losses. Refer to Note 3—Revenue and Receivables from Contracts with Customers in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information.
With respect to investments, we manage our credit risk exposure by holding investments primarily with investment grade credit quality. As of June 30, 2023, the Company held investments of $50.0 million in U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of less than 12 months.
Exchange Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk as a result of having foreign subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies as well as from entering into transactions and holding monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency of its operating subsidiaries. Specifically, the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements may be affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the pound sterling, Euro, and Canadian dollar and our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar.For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the net impact of non-functional currency related transaction gains and losses recorded in Other income (expense) on our Condensed Consolidated Statements

of Operations was a $2.2 million loss and $5.2 million gain, respectively, primarily related to U.S. dollar-denominated cash and intercompany receivables held by our foreign subsidiaries as the U.S. dollar strengthened. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the net impact of the fluctuation of foreign currencies recorded in Foreign currency translation gain (loss) within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) was a $3.5 million gain and $7.3 million loss, respectively. We have not entered into any transactions to hedge our exposure to these foreign currency fluctuations using derivative instruments or other methods but may do so if we deem appropriate in the future.

As of June 30, 2023, we held balances of $35.8 million of non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies, composed of pound sterling, the Euro, and Canadian dollars.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on November 20, 2018 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any specific Business Combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the private placement of the Private Placement Units, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination, shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2020 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for an initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $19,845, which consists of formation and operating costs of $19,908, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $63.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $21,438, which consists of formation and operating costs of $21,501, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $63.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had a net loss of $0 and $969, which consists of formation and operating costs of $0 and $969.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of shares of Class B common stock by our Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.


On September 29, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 610,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $6,100,000.

Following our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $14,255,791 in transaction costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $9,800,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $455,791 of other costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $33,116. Net loss of $21,438 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $63 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which used $11,615 of cash from operating activities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash used in operating activities was $977. Net loss of $969 was affected by expense paid by Sponsor and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which used $577 of cash from operating activities.

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash and marketable securities of $230,000,063 held in the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes paid and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. During the period ended September 30, 2020, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash of $1,634,508 outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with our initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units identical to the Private Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender.

We do not currently believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2020. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee up to $20,000 for office space, utilities and shared personnel support services. We began incurring these fees on September 25, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.


Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on September 24, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (including securities contained therein) and the units that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or the warrants included in the units issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters, are entitled to a deferred fee of $9,800,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the representatives from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosuresincluded elsewhere in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our unaudited condensed balance sheet.

Net Loss per Common Share

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the periods. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net income less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Risk Factors that could cause our actual results

There have been no material changes or updates to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report include theour risk factors describedthat were previously disclosed in our final prospectus“Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on September 25, 2020. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus filed with the SEC.

The securities in which we invest the funds held in the Trust Account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per-share redemption amount received by public stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

The proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. While short-term U.S. government treasury obligations currently yield a positive rate of interest, they have briefly yielded negative interest rates in recent years. Central banks in Europe and Japan pursued interest rates below zero in recent years, and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the United States. In the event that we are unable to complete our initial business combination or make certain amendments to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our public stockholders are entitled to receive their pro-rata share of the proceeds held in the Trust Account, plus any interest income not released to us, net of taxes payable. Negative interest rates could impact the per-share redemption amount that may be received by public stockholders.
