Washington, D.C. and New York, NY – May 7, 2026 – The Carlyle Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CG) today reported its unaudited results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. The full detailed presentation of Carlyle’s first quarter 2026 results can be viewed at ir.carlyle.com.
U.S. GAAP results for Q1 2026 included loss before provision (benefit) for income taxes of $179 million and a margin on loss before provision (benefit) for income taxes of 70.5%.
Carlyle Chief Executive Officer Harvey M. Schwartz said, “Our first quarter results reflect continued momentum executing against our strategic plan. Carlyle AlpInvest delivered another quarter of exceptional growth, fundraising for both institutional and wealth clients had a strong start to the year, and we had a record quarter for U.S. Buyout realizations – each reinforcing our confidence in the path to achieving the 2028 targets we laid out at our February Shareholder Update. We remain disciplined and focused, and our conviction in Carlyle’s long-term earnings trajectory has never been stronger.”
