1.Organization

Hamilton Lane Incorporated (“HLI”) is a holding company whose principal asset is a controlling equity interest in Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. (“HLA”). As the sole managing member of HLA, HLI operates and controls all of the business and affairs of HLA, and through HLA, conducts its business. As a result, HLI consolidates HLA’s financial results and reports a non-controlling interest related to the portion of HLA units not owned by HLI. The assets and liabilities of HLA represent substantially all of HLI’s consolidated assets and liabilities with the exception of certain cash, certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, payable to related parties pursuant to a tax receivable agreement, and dividends payable. Unless otherwise specified, “the Company” refers to the consolidated entity of HLI, HLA and subsidiaries throughout the remainder of these notes. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and March 31, 2020,2021, HLI held approximately 64.6%67.2% and 55.1%67.2%, respectively, of the economic interest in HLA. As future exchanges of HLA units occur pursuant to the exchange agreement in place with HLA’s members, the economic interest in HLA held by HLI will increase.

HLA is a registered investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), providing asset management and advisory services, primarily to institutional investors, to design, build and manage private markets portfolios. HLA sponsors the formation, and/or serves as the general partner or managing member, of various limited partnerships or limited liability companies consisting of specialized funds and certain single client separate account entities (“Partnerships”) that acquire interests in third-party managed investment funds that make private equity and equity-related investments. The Partnerships may also make direct co-investments, including investments in debt, equity, and other equity-based instruments. HLA, which includes certain subsidiaries that serve as the general partner or managing member of substantially all of the Partnerships, may invest its own capital in the Partnerships and generally makes all investment and operating decisions for the Partnerships. HLA operates several wholly-owned entities through which it conducts its foreign operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (which consisted of only normal recurring items) so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Results of operations for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2021.2022. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in HLI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.2021.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic, which has resulted in significant disruption and uncertainty in the global economic markets. Given the amount of uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of the

COVID-19 pandemic, it is currently not possible to predict the precise impact it will have on the Company’s financial statements. In addition, certain impacts may not be reported in the current quarter due to the Company’s investments in partnerships and unrealized carried interest amounts, which are reported on a three monththree-month lag, as discussed below in “Accounting for Differing Fiscal Periods”.

Accounting for Differing Fiscal Periods

The Partnerships primarily have a fiscal year end as of December 31, and the Company accounts for its investments in the Partnerships using a three-month lag due to the timing of financial information received from the investments held by the Partnerships. The Partnerships primarily invest in private equity funds, which generally require at least 90 days following the calendar year end to present audited financial statements. The Company records its share of capital contributions to and distributions from the Partnerships in investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the three monththree-month lag period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below:

Level 1: Values are determined using quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market.
Level 2: Values are determined using quoted prices for similar financial instruments and valuation models whose inputs are observable.
Level 3: Values are determined using pricing models that use significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, fees receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

The carrying amount of the term loan of $74,084 as of September 30, 2020 approximated fair value based on then-current market rates for similar debt instruments and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.Reclassifications

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-ChangesCertain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The amendments remove or modify certain disclosures, while others were added. Early adoption of any removed or modified disclosure requirements is permitted upon issuance of ASU 2018-13 and adoption of the additional disclosure requirements may be delayed until the effective date. The Company elected to early adopt the removed or modified disclosure requirements of the standard on October 1, 2018. The Company adopted the remaining requirements on April 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.current period presentation.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Accounting for Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)”. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective transition method on April 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Equity method investments

The Company’s equity method investments in Partnerships represent its ownership in certain specialized funds and customized separate accounts. The strategies and geographic location of investments within the Partnerships vary by fund. The Company has a 1% interest in substantially all of the Partnerships. The Company’s other equity method investments represent its ownership in a technology company that provides benchmarking and analytics of private equity data and its ownership in a joint venture that automates the collection of fund and underlying portfolio company data from general partners. The Company recognized an equity method income (loss) related to its investments in Partnerships and other equity method investments of $17,979$20,049 and $(3,224) for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $3,664 and $9,877$(17,045) for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2021 and 2020, respectively.

Other investments

The Company’s other investments represent a publicly traded security and investments in private equity funds and direct credit and equity co-investments.co-investments that are held as collateral on the Company’s secured financing. The private equity fund investments can only be redeemed through distributions received from the liquidation of underlying investments of the fund, and the timing of distributions is currently indeterminable. The direct credit co-investments are debt securities classified as trading securities. The direct equity co-investments and private equity funds are measured at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings.

The Company’s other investments are recordedCompany accounts for its secured financing at estimated fair value utilizing significant unobservable inputs and are therefore classified in Level 3 ofunder the fair value hierarchy.option. The primary reason for electing the fair value option is to mitigate volatility in earnings from using different measurement attributes. The significant input to the fair value of the secured financing is the fair value of the other investments delivered as collateral which are estimated using Level 3 inputs with the significant inputs as shown below.

The Company recognized a gain on other investments held as collateral of $814 and $3,653 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that are recorded in other non-operating income. The Company recognized a loss on the secured financing liability of $814 and $3,653 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that are recorded in other non-operating income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, an investment held by the Company and valued under the measurement alternative launched an initial public offering (“IPO”) and began trading on a public exchange. As part of the IPO, the Company agreed to a lockup restriction on selling or transferring the security for a period of 180 days. As the investment has a readily determinable fair value at the end of each reporting period, it no longer qualifies to be recorded under the measurement alternative. At each reporting period going forward, the investment will be recorded at fair value with changes in value recorded to net income. The Company reclassified the investment into other investments and transferred it into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based upon the lockup restrictions. The Company recorded an unrealized gain of $3,455 that was recorded in other non-operating income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

For the significant unobservable inputs listed in the table above,above: (1) a significant increase or decrease in the selected market return would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively; (2) a significant increase or decrease in the market yield would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively; (3) a significant increase or decrease in the selected multiple would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively; and (4) a significant increase or decrease in the selected illiquidity discount would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively.

In May 2019, the Company transferred these investments for an agreed amount of cash of $15,750 to a Partnership that is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) of which the Company is the general partner but does not consolidate as the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Due to continuing involvement with these assets at the Partnership, the Company accounted for this transfer as a secured financing as it has not met the criteria in ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing”, to qualify as a sale and therefore has recorded a financial liability for the secured financing which is included in other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cash received was recorded as secured financing in financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of September 30, 2020, all other investments were pledged as collateral on the Company’s secured financing.

The Company accounts for this financial liability at fair value under the fair value option. The primary reason for electing the fair value option is to mitigate volatility in earnings from using different measurement attributes. The significant input to the fair value of the secured financing is the fair value of the other investments delivered as collateral. As of September 30, 2020, the secured financing had a fair value of $17,703 and an amortized cost of $12,684. The fair value of the secured financing is estimated using Level 3 inputs with the significant input being the fair value of the other investments utilized as collateral as shown above.

The Company recognized a gain on other investments of $1,070 and $4,723 during the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $273 and $431 during the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The Company recognized a loss on the secured financing liability of $1,070 and $4,723 during the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $273 and $1,136 during the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, that are recorded in other non-operating income.

6. Acquisitions

On April 1, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of 361 Capital, LLC for a total aggregate cash amount of $13,096, of which $10,096 was paid on the closing date of the acquisition. The remaining $3,000 will be paid in 2 equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the closing. The purchase price based upon the fair value of consideration transferred at the date of acquisition is $12,946. The Company recorded $7,145 of definite lived intangible assets related primarily to the acquired investment management contracts, which will be amortized over seven years, and $5,623 of goodwill, which are both recorded in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining assets acquired and liabilities assumed are not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue and net income attributable to the acquisition of 361 Capital, LLC were not material for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and as such, pro forma information related to this acquisition is not presented.

7. Variable Interest Entities

The Company consolidates certain VIEs in which it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

The consolidated VIEs areCompany consolidates general partner entities of thecertain Partnerships, which are not wholly ownedwholly-owned by the Company. The total assets of the consolidated VIEsgeneral partner entities are $7,249$5,942 and $9,988$4,787 as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and March 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and are recorded in investments of consolidated variable interest entities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The consolidated VIEsgeneral partner entities had 0 liabilities as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and March 31, 2020 other than deferred incentive fee revenue of $3,704as of both September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020.2021. The assets of the consolidated VIEsgeneral partner entities represent equity method-investments in direct/co-investment funds and customized separate accounts and may only be used to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs,general partner entities, if any. In addition, there is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated VIEs’general partner entities’ liabilities, except for certain entities in which there could be a clawback of previously distributed carried interest.

The Company sponsored and consolidates Hamilton Lane Alliance Holdings I, Inc. (“HLAH”) through HL Alliance Holdings Sponsor LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On January 15, 2021, HLAH completed an IPO raising total gross proceeds of $276,000 which were placed in a trust and can only be utilized for funding a business combination or the redemption of Class A shares of HLAH. In a private placement concurrent with the IPO, HLAH sold warrants to HL Alliance Holdings Sponsor LLC for gross proceeds of $7,520 which were used by HLAH to pay the offering costs and also to provide working capital. The total assets of HLAH were $277,128 and $277,528 as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The total liabilities of HLAH were $19,497 and $17,310 as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The assets of HLAH held outside of the trust can only be used to settle obligations of HLAH, and there is no recourse to the Company for HLAH’s liabilities. All warrants and Class B common stock of HLAH held by the Company are eliminated in consolidation.

Nonconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

The Company holds variable interests in certain Partnerships that are VIEs, which are not consolidated, as it is determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary based upon the Company’s equity interest percentage in each of the VIEs. Certain Partnerships are considered VIEs because limited partners lack the ability to remove the general partner or dissolve the entity without cause, by simple majority vote (i.e. do not have substantive “kick out” or “liquidation” rights). The Company’s involvement with such entities is in the form of direct equity interests in, and fee arrangements with, the Partnerships in which it also serves as the general partner or managing member. In the Company’s role as general partner or managing member, it generally considers itself the sponsor of the applicable Partnership and makes all investment and operating decisions. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the total commitments and remaining unfunded commitments from the limited partners and general partners to the unconsolidated VIEs are $20,066,418$24,144,410 and $7,548,327,$9,386,316, respectively. These commitments are the primary source of financing for the unconsolidated VIEs.

The maximum exposure to loss represents the potential loss of assets recognized by the Company relating to these unconsolidated entities. The Company believes that its maximum exposure to loss is limited because it establishes separate limited partnerships or limited liability companies to serve as the general partner or managing member of the Partnerships.

The carrying amount of assets and liabilities recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance SheetsSheet related to the Company’s interests in these non-consolidated VIEs and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss relating to non-consolidated VIEs were as follows:

9.12. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate used for interim periods is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate including the tax effect of items required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which those items occur. The effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated amount of income subject to income tax; therefore, the effective tax rate can vary from period to period. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and adjusts the valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.4%21.1% and 7.7%27.9% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively, and 22.1% and 10.5% for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. TheseThe effective tax rates were different thanfrom the statutory raterates due to the portion of income allocated to the non-controlling entities, and valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets and discrete tax adjustments recorded in the periods.

In connection with the June 2020 Offering and unit exchanges, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of $56,314, which is net of a valuation allowance of $3,521 related to the portion of tax benefits that it is more likely than not will not be realized.

13. Earnings per Share

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses attributable to HLI, and, therefore, are not participating securities. As a result, a separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been included. Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock are, however, considered potentially dilutive to the Class A common stock because the Class B units to which the Class B common stock corresponds are exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, at which time the share of Class B common stock is surrendered in exchange for a payment of its par value.

The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock:

If the Company ultimately receives the unrecognized carried interest, a total of $102,421$202,189 and $110,288$162,193 as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and March 31, 2020,2021, respectively, would potentially be payable to certain employees and third parties pursuant to compensation arrangements related to carried interest profit-sharing plans. Such amounts have not been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the payment is not yet probable.

Commitments

The Company serves as the investment manager of the Partnerships. The general partner or managing member of each Partnership is generally a separate subsidiary of the Company and has agreed to invest funds on the same basis as the limited partners in most instances. The Company’s aggregate unfunded commitment to the Partnerships was $170,812$194,721 and $143,489$201,442 as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and March 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

Recent Transactions
September 2020 Offering
In September 2020, we and a certain selling stockholder completed a registered offering of an aggregate of 2,207,380 shares of Class A common stock at a price to the underwriter of $70.18 per share (the “September 2020 Offering”). The purpose of the September 2020 Offering was to provide liquidity to significant direct and indirect owners of HLA. The shares sold consisted of (i) 75,000 shares held by the selling stockholder and (ii) 2,132,380 shares newly issued by us. We received approximately $149.7 million in net proceeds from the sale of our shares and used all of the proceeds to settle exchanges by certain members of HLA of a total of 1,936,880 Class B units and 195,500 Class C units. In connection with the exchange of the Class B units, we also repurchased for par value and canceled a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholder.
Trends Affecting Our Business
Impact of Covid-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic, which continues to spread and causehas resulted in significant disruption and uncertainty in the global economic markets. We are closely monitoring developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and assessing any negative impacts to our business.
During While we expect to re-open many of our offices, including our corporate headquarters, to employees for onsite work later in 2021 as conditions permit, we believe COVID-19’s adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations will be significantly driven by a number of factors that we are unable to predict or control, including, for example: the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we began to see a recovery in both the public and private markets compared to the downward movements in the two previous quarters due to the effects of

23


the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the amount of uncertainty regarding the scopeseverity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is currently not possible to predictpandemic; the precisepandemic’s impact it will have on future quarters, but it has impacted,the U.S. and may further impact, our business in various ways, including but not limitedglobal economies; the timing, scope and effectiveness of additional governmental responses to the following:pandemic; the timing and path of economic recovery; and the negative impact on our portfolio investments, clients, counterparties, vendors and other business partners that may indirectly adversely affect us.
Investment valuations may be subject to significant volatility and adversely impacted due to the disruption in global economic markets, whether because of valuation methodologies that rely on public market comparables or as a result of decreases in current or future estimated performance of underlying portfolio companies. Our underlying investments reflect valuations asAs of June 30, 2020. Decreases in public markets and credit indices in quarters ending after that date may result in negative valuation adjustments that will be reported on a three-month lag in accordance with our accounting policy. Adverse investment valuations directly impact our investments, equity in income of investees, unrealized carried interest, AUM and AUA for the period.
Incentive fee revenue, which is typically volatile and largely unpredictable, has in the past and may in the future decrease as the ability of general partners to exit existing investments may be limited due to uncertainty in the global economic markets.
While the market dislocation caused by COVID-19 may present attractive investment opportunities due to increased volatility in the financial markets, we may not be able to complete those investments, which could impact revenue, particularly for specialized funds and customized separate accounts that charge fees on invested capital.
Restrictions on travel and social distancing requirements implemented globally have challenged our ability to fundraise for new products and raise new business, which may result in lower or delayed revenue growth compared to prior periods. Investors may also limit the amount of capital they are willing to commit given the current uncertainties in global markets and economies.
The vast majority of our employees are continuing to work remotely. An extended duration of remote working could lead to additional operational risks, such as greater cybersecurity threats. COVID-19 presents a threat to our employees’ well-being and morale. While we have implemented a business continuity plan to protect the health of our employees and have contingency plans in place for key employees or executive officers who may become sick or otherwise unable to perform their duties for an extended period of time, such plans cannot anticipate all scenarios, and we may experience potential loss of productivity or a delay in the implementation of certain strategic plans.
As of September 30, 2020,2021, we have adequate liquidity with $82.0$73.1 million in available cash and $125$100 million in availability under our Loan Agreements (defined below). For more information on our Loan Agreements, see “—Liquidity“Liquidity and Capital Resources—Loan Agreements”.

Operating Segments
We operate our business in a single segment, which is how our chief operating decision maker (who is our chief executive officer) reviews financial performance and allocates resources.
Key Financial and Operating Measures
Our key financial measures are discussed below.

24


Revenues
We generate revenues primarily from management and advisory fees, and to a lesser extent, from incentive fees.
Management and advisory fees comprise specialized fund and customized separate account management fees, advisory and reporting fees and distribution management fees.
Revenues from customized separate accounts are generally based on a contractual rate applied to committed capital or net invested capital under management. These fees often decrease over the life of the contract due to built-in declines in contractual rates and/or as a result of lower net invested capital balances as capital is returned to clients. In certain cases, we also provide advisory and/or reporting services, and, therefore, we therefore also receive fees for services such as monitoring and reporting on a client’s existing private markets investments. In addition, we may provide for investments in our specialized funds as part of our customized separate accounts. In these cases, we generally reduce the management and/or incentive fees on customized separate accounts to the extent that assets in the accounts are invested in our specialized funds so that our clients do not pay duplicate fees.
Revenues from specialized funds are based on a percentage of limited partners’ capital commitments to, net invested capital or net asset value in, our specialized funds. The management fee during the commitment period is often charged on capital commitments. Aftercommitments and after the commitment period (or a defined anniversary of the fund’s initial closing), such fee is typically reduced by a percentage of the management fee charged for the preceding year or the management fee is charged on net invested capital. In the case of certain funds, we charge management fees on capital commitments, with the management fee increasing during the early years of the fund’s term and declining in the later years. Management fees for certain funds are discounted based on the amount of the limited partners’ commitments or if the limited partners are investors in our other funds.
Revenues from advisory and reporting services are generally annual fixed fees, which vary depending on the services we provide. In limited cases, advisory service clients are charged basis point fees annually based on the amounts they have committed to invest pursuant to their agreements with us. In other cases where our services are limited to monitoring and reporting on investment portfolios, clients are charged a fee based on the number of investments in their portfolio.
Distribution management fees are generally earned by applying a percentage to AUM or proceeds received. Certain active management clients may elect a fee structure under which they are charged an asset-based fee plus a performance fee based on net realized and unrealized gains and income net of realized and unrealized losses.
Incentive fees comprise carried interest earned from our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts structured as single-client funds in which we have a general partner commitment, and performance fees earned on certain other customized separate accounts.

24


For each of our secondary funds, direct/co-investment funds, creditstrategic opportunity funds and evergreen funds, we generally earn carried interest equal to a fixed percentage of net profits, usually 10.0% to 12.5%, subject to a compounded annual preferred return that is generally 6.0% to 8.0%. To the extent that our primary funds also directly make secondary investments and direct/co-investments, they generally earn carried interest on a similar basis. Furthermore, certain of our primary funds earn carried interest on their investments in other private markets funds on a primary basis that is generally 5.0% of net profits, subject to the fund’s compounded annual preferred return.

25


We recognize carried interest when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. In the event that a payment is made before it can be recognized as revenue, this amount would be included as deferred incentive fee revenue on our consolidated balance sheet and recognized as income in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. The primary contingency regarding incentive fees is the “clawback,” or the obligation to return distributions in excess of the amount prescribed by the applicable fund or separate account documents.
Performance fees, which are a component of incentive fees, are based on the aggregate amount of realized gains earned by the applicable customized separate account, subject to the achievement of defined minimum returns to the clients. Performance fees range from 5.0% to 12.5% of net profits, subject to a compounded annual preferred return that varies by account but is generally 6.0% to 8.0%. Performance fees are recognized when the risk of clawback or reversal is not probable.
Expenses
Compensation and benefits is our largest expense and consists of (a) base compensation comprising salary, bonuses and benefits paid and payable to employees, (b) equity-based compensation associated with the grants of restricted stock awards and (c) incentive fee compensation, which consists of carried interest and performance fee allocations. We expect to continue to experience a general rise in compensation and benefits expense commensurate with expected growth in headcount and with the need to maintain competitive compensation levels as we expand geographically and create new products and services.
Our compensation arrangements with our employees contain a significant bonus component driven by the results of our operations. Therefore, as our revenues, profitability and the amount of incentive fees earned by our customized separate accounts and specialized funds increase, our compensation costs rise.
Certain current and former employees participate in a carried interest planprogram whereby approximately 25% of incentive fees from certain of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts are awarded to plan participants. We record compensation expense payable to plan participants as the incentive fees become estimable and collection is probable.
General, administrative and other includes travel, accounting, legal and other professional fees, commissions, placement fees, office expenses, depreciation and other costs associated with our operations. Our occupancy-related costs and professional services expenses, in particular, generally increase or decrease in relative proportion to the number of our employees and the overall size and scale of our business operations.

25


Other Income (Expense)
Equity in income (loss) of investees primarily represents our share of earnings from our investments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts in which we have a general partner commitment. Equity income primarily comprises our share of the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and investment income, partially offset by the expenses from these investments.
We have general partner commitments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts that invest solely in primary funds, secondary funds and direct/co-investments, as well as those that invest across investment types. Equity in income (loss) of investees will increase or decrease as the change in underlying fund investment valuations increases or decreases. Since our direct/co-investment funds invest in underlying portfolio companies, their quarterly and annual valuation changes are more affected by individual company movements than our primary and secondary funds that have exposures across multiple portfolio companies in underlying private markets funds. Our specialized funds and

26


customized separate accounts invest across industries, strategies and geographies, and therefore our general partner investments do not include any significant concentrations in a specific sector or area outside the United States.
Interest expense includes interest paid and accrued on our outstanding debt, along with the amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of original issue discount and the write-off of deferred financing costs due to the repayment of previously outstanding debt.
Interest income is income earned on cash and cash equivalents.
Other non-operatingNon-operating income (loss) consists primarily of gains and losses on certain investments, changes in liability under the tax receivable agreement and other non-recurring or non-cash items.
Other income (expense) of consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) consists primarily of the share of earnings of investments of consolidated general partner entities, which are not wholly-owned by us, in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts in which it has a general partner commitment and changes in fair value of liabilities of our sponsored special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”).
Fee-Earning AUM
Fee-earning AUM is a metric we use to measure the assets from which we earn management fees. Our fee-earning AUM comprise assets in our customized separate accounts and specialized funds from which we derive management fees. We classify customized separate account revenue as management fees if the client is charged an asset-based fee, which includes the majority of our discretionary AUM accounts but also includes certain non-discretionary AUA accounts. Our fee-earning AUM is equal to the amount of capital commitments, net invested capital and net asset value (“NAV”) of our customized separate accounts and specialized funds depending on the fee terms. Substantially all of our customized separate accounts and specialized funds earn fees based on commitments or net invested capital, which are not affected by market appreciation or depreciation. Therefore, revenues and fee-earning AUM are not significantly affected by changes in market value.
Our calculations of fee-earning AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Our definition of fee-earning AUM is not based on any definition that is set forth in the agreements governing the customized separate accounts or specialized funds that we manage.

Investment Performance
The following tables present information relating to the historical performance of our discretionary investment accounts. The data for these investments is presented from the vintage date indicated through June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and have not been adjusted to reflect acquisitions or disposals of investments subsequent to that date.
When considering the data presented below, you should note that the historical results of our discretionary investments are not indicative of the future results you should expect from such investments, from any future investment funds we may raise or from an investment in our Class A common stock, in part because:
market conditions and investment opportunities during previous periods may have been significantly more favorable for generating positive performance than those we may experience in the future;
the performance of our funds is generally calculated on the basis of the net asset value (“NAV”)NAV of the funds’ investments, including unrealized gains, which may never be realized;
our historical returns derive largely from the performance of our earlier funds, whereas future fund returns will depend increasingly on the performance of our newer funds or funds not yet formed;
our newly established funds may generate lower returns during the period that they initially deploy their capital;
in recent years, there has been increased competition for investment opportunities resulting from the increased amount of capital invested in private markets alternatives and high liquidity in debt markets, and the increased competition for investments may reduce our returns in the future; and
the performance of particular funds also will be affected by risks of the industries and businesses in which they invest.

The historical and potential future returns of the investment funds we manage are not directly linked to returns on our Class A common stock. Therefore, you should not conclude that continued positive performance of the investment funds we manage will necessarily result in positive returns on an investment in our Class A common stock. As used in this discussion, internal rate of return (“IRR”) is calculated on a pooled basis using daily cash flows. See “Performance Methodology” below for more information on how our returns are calculated.
Specialized Fund Performance
We organize, invest and manage specialized primary, secondary, and direct/co-investment funds, strategic opportunity funds and evergreen funds. Our specialized funds invest across a variety of private markets and include equity, equity-linked and credit funds offered on standard terms, as well as shorter duration, opportunistically oriented funds. Below is performance information across our various specialized funds. Substantially all of these funds are globally focused, and they are grouped by the investment strategy utilized.

Performance Methodology
The indices presented for comparison are the S&P 500, MSCI World, Credit Suisse High Yield II (“CS HY II”) and Credit Suisse Leverage Loan (“CS LL”), calculated on a public market equivalent (“PME”) basis. We believe these indices are commonly used by private markets and credit investors to evaluate performance. The PME calculation methodology allows private markets investment performance to be evaluated against a public index and assumes that capital is being invested in, or withdrawn from, the index on the days the capital was called and distributed from the underlying fund managers. The S&P 500 Index is a total return capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of 500 U.S. large cap stocks. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index of over 1,600 world stocks that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The CS HY II Index, formerly known as the DLJ High Yield Index, is designed to mirror the investable universe of the U.S. dollar denominated high yield debt market. Prices for the CS HY II Index are available on a weekly basis. The CS LL Index is an index designed to mirror the investable universe of

36


the U.S. dollar denominated leveraged loan market. Loans must be rated 5B or lower and the index frequency is monthly.
Our IRR represents the pooled IRR for all discretionary investments for the period from inception to June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. Gross IRR is presented net of management fees, carried interest and expenses charged by the general partners of the underlying investments, but does not include our management fees, carried interest or expenses. Our gross IRR would decrease with the inclusion of our management fees, carried interest and expenses. Net IRR is net of all management fees, carried interest and expenses charged by the general partners of the underlying investments, as well as by us. Net IRR figures for our funds do not include cash flows attributable to the general partner. Note that secondary portfolio IRRs can be initially impacted by purchase discounts (or premiums) paid at the closing of a transaction, the impact of which will diminish over time.
The “Realized IRR” represents the pooled IRR for those discretionary investments that we consider realized for purposes of our track record, which are investments where the underlying investment fund has been fully liquidated, has generated a distributions to paid-in capital ratio (“DPI”) greater than or equal to 1.0 or is older than six years and has a residual value to paid-in capital ratio (“RVPI”) less than or equal to 0.2. Hamilton Lane Secondary Realized includes investments that have been fully liquidated, have a DPI greater than or equal to 1.0 or a RVPI less than or equal to 0.2. Hamilton Lane Realized Co-Investment and Hamilton Lane Realized Strategic Opportunities include investments that have been fully liquidated or have a DPI greater than or equal to 1.0. “Unrealized” includes all investments that do not meet the aforementioned criteria. DPI represents total distributions divided by total invested capital. RVPI represents the remaining market value divided by total invested capital. “Capital Invested” refers to the total amount of all investments made by a fund, including commitment-reducing and non-commitment-reducing capital calls. “Multiple” represents total distributions from underlying investments to the fund plus the fund’s market value divided by total contributed capital. “Gross Multiple” is presented net of management fees, carried interest and expenses charged by the fund managers of the underlying investments.
Specialized fund and pre-fund performance does not include ten funds-of-funds that have investor-specific investment guidelines.
Certain of our specialized funds utilize revolving credit facilities, which provide capital that is available to fund investments or pay partnership expenses and management fees. Borrowings may be paid down from time to time with investor capital contributions or distributions from investments. The use of a credit facility affects the fund’s return and magnifies the performance on the upside or on the downside.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historical Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have managed our historical liquidity and capital requirements primarily through the receipt of management and advisory fee revenues. Our primary cash flow activities involve: (1) generating cash flow from operations, which largely includes management and advisory fees; (2) realizations generated from our investment activities; (3) funding capital commitments that we have made to certain of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts; (4) making dividend payments to our stockholders and distributions to holders of HLA units; and (5) borrowings, interest payments and repayments under our outstanding debt. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and March 31, 2020,2021, our cash and cash equivalents, including investments in money market funds, were $82.0$73.1 million and $50.1$87.0 million, respectively.
Our material sources of cash from our operations include: (1) management and advisory fees, which are collected monthly or quarterly; (2) incentive fees, which are volatile and largely unpredictable as to

37


amount and timing; and (3) fund distributions related to investments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts that we manage. We use cash flow from operations primarily to pay compensation and related expenses, general, administrative and other expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and distributions to our owners and to fund commitments to certain of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts. If cash flow from operations were insufficient to fund distributions to our owners, we expect that we would suspend paying such distributions.
We have also accessed the capital markets and used proceeds from sales of our Class A common stock to settle in cash exchanges of HLA membership interests by direct and indirect owners of HLA pursuant to our exchange agreement.

Loan Agreements
In August 2017, we entered into theWe maintain a Term Loan and Security Agreement, (asas amended the(the “Term Loan Agreement”) and the, a Revolving Loan and Security Agreement, (asas amended the(the “Revolving Loan Agreement”), and a Multi-Draw Term Loan and Security Agreement, as amended (the “Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement” and, together with First Republic Bank. Proceeds from these agreements were utilized to pay off the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of the predecessor credit facility. In March 2020, the Term Loan Agreement was amended to include an incremental term advance of approximately $9 million onand the closing date ofRevolving Loan Agreement, the amendment (increasing the outstanding balance to $75 million)“Loan Agreements”), provide for additional uncommitted term advances not to exceed $25 million in the aggregate forwith First Republic Bank (“First Republic”). The Term Loan Agreement has a period of three years from the closing date of the amendment, revise the principal amortization schedule beginning July 1, 2020 through the maturity date of July 1, 2027 and change the interest rate tois a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate minus 1.50% subject to a floor of 2.25%. In addition,As of June 30, 2021, we had an outstanding balance of $73.1 million under the Term Loan Agreement. We are entitled to request additional uncommitted term advances not to exceed $25 million in the aggregate, as well as additional committed term advances not to exceed $25 million in the aggregate through March 24, 2023.

The Revolving Loan Agreement’sAgreement provides that the aggregate outstanding balance will not exceed $25 million and has a maturity date was amended toof March 24, 2023 and the2023. The interest rate was changed tois a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate minus 1.50% subject to a floor of 2.25%. As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any outstanding balance under the Revolving Loan Agreement.

In March 2020, we also entered into aThe Multi-Draw Term Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement”, and, together with the Term Loan Agreement and Revolving Loan Agreement, the “Loan Agreements”) with First Republic Bank, which provides for a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $75$100 million with a maturity date of July 1, 2030. In September 2020, the Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement was amended to provide that advancesAdvances may be drawn through September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and to decrease the interest rate tois a fixed per annum rate of 3.5%3.50%. As of June 30, 2021, we had an outstanding balance of $75.0 million under the Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreements contain covenants that, among other things, limit HLA’s ability to incur indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, merge with other companies, create, incur or allow liens, make investments, make distributions, engage in transactions with affiliates and take certain actions with respect to management fees. The Loan Agreements also require HLA to maintain, among other requirements, (i) a specified amount of management fees, (ii) a specified amount of adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Loan Agreements, and (iii) a specified minimum tangible net worth, during the term of each of the Loan Agreements. The obligations under the Loan Agreements are secured by substantially all the assets of HLA. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and March 31, 2020,2021, the principal amount of debt outstanding equaled $74.5$148.1 million and $75.0$163.6 million, respectively.
Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity
We generate significant cash flows from operating activities. We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our current and long-term liquidity and capital requirements through our cash flows from operating activities, existing cash and cash equivalents and our ability to obtain future external financing.

38


We believe we will also continue to evaluate opportunities, based on market conditions, to access the capital markets and use proceeds from sales of our Class A common stock to settle in cash exchanges of HLA membership interests by direct and indirect owners of HLA pursuant to our exchange agreement. The timing or size of any potential transactions will depend on a number of factors, including market opportunities and our views regarding our capital and liquidity positions and potential future needs. There can be no assurance that any such transactions will be completed on favorable terms, or at all.
We currently sponsor a SPAC and intend to sponsor additional SPACs in the future, depending on market and other conditions, which will require an initial investment of capital from us that we may be unable to recover if a suitable target company for the SPAC is not identified within the prescribed timeframe.
In November 2018, we authorized a program to repurchase up to 6% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, not to exceed $50 million (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). The Stock Repurchase Program does not include specific price targets or timetables and may be suspended or terminated by us at any time. We intend to finance the purchases using available working capital and/or external financing. The Stock Repurchase Program expires 12 months after the date of the first acquisition under the authorization. We have not repurchased any of our Class A common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program, and therefore the full purchase authority remains available.
We expect that our primary current and long-term liquidity needs will comprise cash toto: (1) provide capital to facilitate the growth of our business,business; (2) fund commitments to our investments,investments; (3) pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees,employees; (4) make payments under the tax receivable agreement,agreement; (5) fund capital expenditures,expenditures; (6) pay interest and principal due on our outstanding debt,debt; (7) pay income taxes,taxes; (8) make dividend payments to our stockholders and distributions to holders of HLA units in accordance with our distribution policy,policy; (9) settle exchanges of HLA membership interests by direct and indirect owners of HLA pursuant to our exchange agreement from time to timetime; (10) fund SPACs sponsored by us; and (10)(11) fund purchases of our Class A common stock pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Program.
We are required to maintain minimum net capital balances for regulatory purposes for our Hong Kong, United Kingdom and broker-dealer subsidiaries. These net capital requirements are met by retaining cash. As a result, we may be restricted in our ability to transfer cash between different operating entities and jurisdictions. As of each of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and March 31, 2020,2021, we were required to maintain approximately $3.0 million in liquid net assets within these subsidiaries to meet regulatory net capital and capital adequacy requirements. We are in compliance with these regulatory requirements.
Dividend Policy
The declaration and payment by us of any future dividends to holders of our Class A common stock is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. We intend to continue to pay a cash dividend on a quarterly basis. Subject to funds being legally available, we will cause HLA to make pro rata distributions to its members, including us, in an amount at least sufficient to allow us to pay all applicable taxes, to make payments under the tax receivable agreement, and to pay our corporate and other overhead expenses.
Tax Receivable Agreement
We expect that periodic exchanges of membership units of HLA by members of HLA will result in increases in the tax basis in our share of the assets of HLA that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis are expected to increase our depreciation and amortization deductions and

4139


create other tax benefits and therefore may reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future. The tax receivable agreement will require us to pay 85% of the amount of these and certain other tax benefits, if any, that we realize (or are deemed to realize in the case of an early termination payment, a change in control or a material breach by us of our obligations under the tax receivable agreement) to the existing direct and indirect members of HLA.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base our judgments on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For a more complete discussion of the accounting judgments and estimates that we have identified as critical in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, please refer to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 20202021 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Information regarding recent accounting developments and their impact on our results can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to a broad range of risks inherent in the financial markets in which we participate, including price risk, interest-rate risk, access to and cost of financing risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and foreign exchange-rate risk. Potentially negative effects of these risks may be mitigated to a certain extent by those aspects of our investment approach, investment strategies, fundraising practices or other business activities that are designed to benefit, either in relative or absolute terms, from periods of economic weakness, tighter credit or financial market dislocations.
Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as general partner or investment manager for our specialized funds and customized separate accounts and the sensitivities to movements in the fair value of their investments, which may adversely affect our equity in income of investees. Since our management fees are generally based on commitments or net invested capital, our management fee and advisory fee revenue is not significantly impacted by changes in investment values.
Fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts may fluctuate in response to changes in the value of securities, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. The impact of investment risk is as follows:

43


Equity in income of investees changes along with the realized and unrealized gains of the underlying investments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts in which we have a general partner commitment. Our general partner investments include thousands of unique underlying portfolio investments with no significant concentration in any industry or country outside of the United States.
Management fees from our specialized funds and customized separate accounts are not significantly affected by changes in fair value as the management fees are not generally based on the value of the specialized funds or customized separate accounts, but rather on the amount of capital committed or invested in the specialized funds or customized separate accounts, as applicable.

41


Incentive fees from our specialized funds and customized separate accounts are not materially affected by changes in the fair value of unrealized investments because they are based on realized gains and subject to achievement of performance criteria rather than on the fair value of the specialized fund’s or customized separate account’s assets prior to realization. We had $3.7 million of deferred incentive fee revenue on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. Minor decreases in underlying fair value would not affect the amount of deferred incentive fee revenue subject to clawback.
Exchange Rate Risk
Several of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts hold investments denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies that may be affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currency, which could impact investment performance. The currency exposure related to investments in foreign currency assets is limited to our general partner interest, which is typically one percent of total capital commitments. We do not possess significant assets in foreign countries in which we operate or engage in material transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, changes in exchange rates are not expected to materially impact our financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk
 As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had $74.5$148.1 million in borrowings outstanding under our Loan Agreements. The annual interest rate on the Term Loan Agreement, which is at the prime rate minus 1.50%, subject to a floor of 2.25%, was 2.25% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. The annual interest rate on the Revolving Loan Agreement, which is at the prime rate minus 1.50%, subject to a floor of 2.25%, was 2.25% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.
Based on the floating rate component of the Termour Loan Agreement and the Revolving Loan AgreementAgreements payable as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we estimate that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in increased interest expense related to the loan of $0.4 million over the next 12 months.
Credit Risk
We are party to agreements providing for various financial services and transactions that contain an element of risk in the event that the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In such agreements, we depend on the respective counterparty to make payment or otherwise perform. We generally endeavor to minimize our risk of exposure by limiting the counterparties with which we enter into financial transactions to reputable financial institutions. In other circumstances, availability of financing from financial institutions may be uncertain due to market events, and we may not be able to access these financing markets.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

42


In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to various legal, regulatory and/or administrative proceedings from time to time. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such proceedings, in the opinion of management, we do not believe it is probable that any pending or, to our knowledge, threatened legal proceeding or claim would individually or in the aggregate materially affect our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 20202021 Form 10-K.

(2) On November 6, 2018, we announced that our board of directors authorized a program to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to 6% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock as of the date of the authorization, not to exceed $50 million (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). The authorization provides us the flexibility to repurchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time, based on market conditions and other factors. We have not repurchased any of our Class A common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program, so the full purchase authority remains available under this program, which expires 12 months after the date of the first acquisition under the authorization.
