Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results

          Second Quarter 2008 Dividend of $0.11 per Class A Share

    NEW YORK, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Och-Ziff Capital Management
Group LLC (NYSE: OZM) (the "Company" or "Och-Ziff") today reported its
results and the declaration of a cash dividend on its Class A Shares for
the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

    Second Quarter Highlights

    -- Distributable Earnings for the Och-Ziff Funds segment of $53.8
million, or $0.13 per Adjusted Class A Share

    -- Dividend of $0.11 per Class A Share to be paid on August 12, 2008 to
holders of record as of the close of business on July 1, 2008

    -- Assets under management of $33.6 billion as of June 30, 2008,
essentially unchanged from March 31, 2008, and 16% higher than June 30,
2007

    -- Economic Income Revenues for the Och-Ziff Funds segment of $147.1
million, 23% higher than the 2007 second quarter

    For the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2008, Och-Ziff
reported a GAAP net loss of $60.8 million or $0.82 per basic and $1.05 per
diluted Class A Share, and $328.9 million or $4.44 per basic and diluted
Class A Share, respectively. The GAAP net loss in both periods resulted
primarily from second quarter and first half non-cash expenses of $425.6
million and $851.2 million, respectively, associated with the Company's
reorganization in connection with its initial public offering ("IPO") in
November 2007. These expenses are related to the amortization of Och-Ziff
Operating Group A Units ("Group A Units"), which represent equity interests
in the Company's principal operating subsidiaries that were awarded to the
Company's pre-IPO owners in exchange for their pre-IPO interests in those
subsidiaries. The Group A Units vest annually over five years from the date
of the IPO. Accordingly, amortization of these expenses is expected to
result in a GAAP net loss each quarter through 2012. Once vested, the Group
A Units may be exchanged on a one-to-one basis for Class A Shares.

    Also contributing to the GAAP net loss in the second quarter and first
half of 2008 were non-cash expenses of $24.2 million and $50.2 million,
respectively, for the amortization of equity-based compensation, primarily
related to Class A restricted share units ("RSUs") awarded to all of the
Company's employees in connection with the IPO. These RSUs vest annually
over four years from the date of the IPO. Once vested, Class A Shares will
be issued on a one-to-one basis.

    Distributable Earnings for the Och-Ziff Funds segment for the second
quarter and first half ended June 30, 2008 was $53.8 million or $0.13 per
Adjusted Class A Share, and $104.9 million or $0.26 per Adjusted Class A
Share, respectively. Distributable Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP
financial measure that management believes provides a meaningful basis for
comparison of the after-tax operating performance of the Och-Ziff Funds
segment, which includes substantially all of the Company's business.
Additionally, management uses Distributable Earnings, among other financial
data, to determine the earnings available to distribute as dividends to
holders of the Company's Class A Shares and to the Company's partners and
Ziff Brothers Investments (the "Ziffs") with respect to their Group A
Units.

    Distributable Earnings is equal to the Economic Income of the Och-Ziff
Funds segment less adjusted income taxes. These adjusted income taxes are
estimated assuming all Group A Units and RSUs were converted on a
one-to-one basis into Class A Shares ("Adjusted Class A Shares").
Distributable Earnings per Share is equal to Distributable Earnings divided
by the number of Adjusted Class A Shares. Distributable Earnings should not
be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or cash flow, and is not
necessarily indicative of liquidity or the cash available to fund
operations. For a reconciliation of the Company's second quarter and first
half 2008 Economic Income to Distributable Earnings, please see Exhibit 8
of the financial tables that accompany this press release.

    Och-Ziff's assets under management were $33.6 billion as of June 30,
2008, $357 million higher than the $33.3 billion in assets under management
as of March 31, 2008, and up 16% from $29.1 billion in assets under
management as of June 30, 2007. The $4.5 billion year-over-year increase
was driven by net inflows and appreciation, primarily in each of the
Company's most significant master funds. The increase also included the
fourth-quarter 2007 reinvestment by the Company's partners and the Ziffs of
approximately $1.6 billion in after-tax proceeds from the Company's IPO and
concurrent Class A Share sale to Dubai International Capital. These
proceeds were principally invested in the OZ Global Special Investments
Master Fund. During the 2008 second quarter, performance-related
appreciation of $389 million was partially offset by net outflows of $32
million. During the first half of 2008, net inflows were approximately $232
million while the performance-related change to assets under management was
not significant.


Assets under management by fund were as follows: % Change (4) Jun.2008 Jun.2008 June 30, March 31, June 30, vs. vs. (dollars in billions) 2008 2008 2007 Mar.2008 Jun.2007 OZ Master Fund 20.0 19.9 18.6 0% 7% OZ Europe Master Fund 6.4 6.2 5.5 3% 16% OZ Asia Master Fund (1) 3.8 3.8 3.1 0% 21% OZ Global Special Investments Master Fund (2) 2.1 2.1 0.4 -1% 460% Other (3)(4) 1.3 1.3 1.5 NM NM (1) Includes investment of $0.1 billion in after-tax proceeds from the Company's Class A Share sales.

(3) Includes Real Estate Funds, managed accounts and other funds not significant to the Company's results. (4) Rounding differences may occur. The 2008 second quarter and first-half net returns of the Company's most significant master funds are detailed in the table below. These returns were generated with less than half the volatility of the S&P 500 and essentially no leverage.

"Against the backdrop of very challenging market conditions, the value of our investment process was again readily apparent," said Daniel Och, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Och-Ziff. "Our absolute returns were strong and stable, and we successfully preserved fund investors' capital. Our performance reflects a model that demonstrates the benefits of an active risk management process and a diversified product offering. The current environment is also creating investment opportunities globally that we are taking advantage of in our core business, and we continue to be focused on generating positive investment returns. We remain confident that we are well positioned to grow assets under management as we extend our performance track record and make consistent progress in building our private investment platforms." SUMMARY RESULTS OF THE OCH-ZIFF FUNDS SEGMENT The Company conducts substantially all of its business through the Och-Ziff Funds segment, which is currently the Company's only reportable operating segment. This segment provides management and advisory services to the Company's hedge funds and separately managed accounts, excluding substantially all of its real estate funds. The Company's other operations are currently comprised of its real estate business, which manages and provides advisory services to substantially all of its real estate funds, and investments in new businesses established to expand certain of the Company's private investment platforms. These other operations, which currently are in early growth stages and are not material to the overall financial performance of the Company, are not included in the Och-Ziff Funds segment and therefore not included in the calculations of Economic Income, Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per Share. The performance measure for the Och-Ziff Funds segment is Economic Income, which management uses to evaluate the financial performance of and make operating decisions for the segment. Management believes that investors should review the same performance measure that it uses to analyze the Company's core business performance. Economic Income is a pre-tax measure that does not include allocations to the Company's partners and the Ziffs which solely relate to their pre-IPO interests, reorganization expenses related to the Company's IPO, equity-based compensation expenses, taxes, or partners' and others' interests in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries, among other adjustments. For further information regarding these adjustments, please see Exhibit 7 of the financial tables that accompany this press release. Prior to the 2008 second quarter, for those awards of RSUs made to employees after the IPO, the grant-date fair value of the RSUs awarded was recognized in full as bonus expense on the grant date in Economic Income. In the same period, the corresponding number of RSUs awarded was excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Class A Shares. This reduced Economic Income by including the grant-date fair value of these RSUs as an operating expense. Beginning in the second quarter, this expense is no longer included in Economic Income; instead, the corresponding number of RSUs is included in Adjusted Class A Shares in the period awarded for purposes of calculating Distributable Earnings per Share. By capturing RSUs in Adjusted Class A Shares, the dilutive effect of the RSU awards is fully reflected in the calculation of Distributable Earnings per Share. For reconciliations of Economic Income to total Company GAAP net income (loss) for the periods discussed below, please see Exhibits 3 through 6 of the financial tables that accompany this press release. Economic Income Economic Income Revenues Second-quarter 2008 Economic Income Revenues were $147.1 million, up 23% compared to second-quarter 2007 Economic Income Revenues of $119.5 million. Management Fees were $145.3 million, up 28% from second-quarter 2007 management fees of $113.8 million. First-half 2008 Economic Income Revenues were $293.6 million, up 34% compared to first-half 2007 Economic Income Revenues of $219.4 million. Management Fees were $290.3 million, up 37% from first-half 2007 management fees of $211.8 million. The increase in Management Fees in both periods was driven by the year-over-year increase in assets under management. Economic Income Expenses Compensation and Benefits Second-quarter 2008 Compensation and Benefit expenses were $24.5 million, up 55% from second-quarter 2007 Compensation and Benefit expenses of $15.8 million. Second-quarter 2008 Compensation and Benefits also included $7.4 million of bonus expense, primarily related to accruals for guarantees to new employees hired in the first half of 2008, which will be paid at year end. First-half 2008 Compensation and Benefit expenses were $48.2 million, up 61% from first-half 2007 Compensation and Benefit expenses of $30.0 million. First-half 2008 Compensation and Benefits also included $15.4 million of bonus expense, primarily related to accruals for guarantees to new employees hired in the first half of 2008, which will be paid at year end, and to non-recurring payments to certain existing personnel and new employees. As a result of the adjustment made to the calculation of Economic Income in the second quarter, bonus expense of $1.8 million related to the fair value of RSUs awarded in the 2008 first quarter has been excluded from first-half 2008 Compensation and Benefits expense. The increase in Compensation and Benefits in both periods was driven by increased headcount, primarily during the second half of 2007, related to the infrastructure needed to become a public company and to support the growth in the Company's business. Non-Compensation Expenses Second-quarter 2008 non-compensation expenses were $29.4 million, a 29% increase from second-quarter 2007 non-compensation expenses of $22.7 million. The increase was driven primarily by interest expense on the Company's $750 million term loan, which was entered into during the third quarter of 2007. The remainder of the increase was primarily driven by higher insurance, business development and occupancy costs related to the infrastructure needed to become a public company and to support the growth in the Company's business. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in professional services which were higher in the 2007 second quarter due to audit and consulting costs in connection with the Company's IPO. On a comparative basis, the 2007 annual audit and consulting costs were primarily incurred in the first quarter of this year. First-half 2008 non-compensation expenses were $64.5 million, a 91% increase from first-half 2007 non-compensation expenses of $33.7 million. The increase was driven primarily by interest expense on the Company's $750 million term loan. The remainder of the increase was primarily driven by higher professional services incurred in the first quarter of 2008, insurance, business development and technology costs related to the infrastructure needed to become a public company and to support the growth in the Company's business. Economic Income Second-quarter 2008 Economic Income totaled $93.3 million, a 15% increase from second-quarter 2007 Economic Income of $80.9 million. First-half 2008 Economic Income totaled $180.9 million, a 16% increase from first-half 2007 Economic Income of $155.7 million. The Economic Income margin is Economic Income divided by Economic Income Revenues for the relevant period. The second-quarter 2008 margin was 63%, which was five percentage points lower than the second-quarter 2007 margin of 68%. The first-half 2008 margin was 62%, which was nine percentage points lower than the first-half 2007 margin of 71%. The margin decrease in both periods was attributable to interest expense on the Company's $750 million term loan, higher compensation expenses due to significant year-over-year headcount growth related to the infrastructure needed to become a public company and to support the growth in the Company's business, higher insurance costs, and for the first-half 2008, higher professional services fees. These increases were partially offset by the increase in Management Fees in both periods. CAPITAL As of June 30, 2008, Class A Shares outstanding totaled 74,138,572. For purposes of calculating Distributable Earnings per Share, the Company assumes that all Group A Units and RSUs have been converted on a one-to-one basis into Class A Shares. For the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2008, the total weighted-average Adjusted Class A Shares outstanding were 399,983,913 and 399,852,742 respectively. The increase in Adjusted Class A Shares during the 2008 second quarter was driven by two factors. The first factor, and the most significant component of the change, relates to dividend equivalents which were awarded to employees in the form of RSUs for the dividends paid on the Company's Class A shares in the first half of 2008. These dividend equivalents related to the RSUs awarded to employees at the time of the Company's IPO. The second factor relates to the change in how RSUs are treated for purposes of calculating Economic Income, Distributable Earnings, Adjusted Class A Shares and Distributable Earnings per Share, as discussed above. Beginning in the second quarter, the number of RSUs was included in Adjusted Class A Shares in the period awarded for purposes of determining the number of Adjusted Class A Shares. DIVIDEND The Board of Directors of Och-Ziff declared a second-quarter 2008 dividend of $0.11 per Class A Share, to be paid on August 12, 2008 to holders of record at the close of business on July 1, 2008. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the dividend will be treated as a partnership distribution. Based on the best information currently available, the Company estimates that when calculating withholding taxes, the entire amount of the second-quarter 2008 dividend will be treated as U.S. source dividend income. Non-U.S. holders of Class A Shares are generally subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% (subject to reduction by applicable treaty or other exception) on their share of U.S. source dividends and certain other types of U.S. source income realized by the Company. With respect to interest, however, no withholding is generally required if proper certification (on an IRS Form W-8) of a beneficial owner's foreign status has been filed with the withholding agent. In addition, non-U.S. holders must generally provide the withholding agent with a properly completed IRS Form W-8 to obtain any reduction in withholding. * * * * Och-Ziff will host a conference call today, August 6, 2008, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the Company's second-quarter 2008 results.

Exhibit 7 OCH-ZIFF CAPITAL MANAGEMENT GROUP LLC
Description of Adjustments Made to Reconcile Och-Ziff Funds Economic Income to GAAP Net Income (Loss) Funds Consolidation Economic Income reflects Management Fees and Incentive Income earned from each of the Och-Ziff funds and managed accounts, excluding substantially all of the real estate funds and investments in new businesses, which are included within the Company's other operations. The impacts of consolidation and the related eliminations of the Och-Ziff funds are not included in Economic Income. Management Fees and Incentive Income earned by the Och-Ziff Funds segment not eliminated in consolidation prior to June 30, 2007, are related to the domestic Och-Ziff funds and separately managed accounts. The Company deconsolidated all of the offshore Och-Ziff funds on June 30, 2007. Other Adjustments (a) Economic Income recognizes deferred cash compensation expense in the period in which it is awarded, as management determines the total amount of compensation based on the Company's performance in the year of the award. Under GAAP, deferred cash compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. (b) Economic Income excludes non-cash equity compensation expense, as management does not consider this expense when evaluating the performance of the Och-Ziff Funds segment. Prior to the second quarter of 2008, the grant- date fair value of restricted share units awarded to employees, excluding awards made at the time of the Company's IPO, was recognized as an expense in full on the date of the award within Economic Income. Prior period amounts have been recalculated to conform to the new methodology. (c) Economic Income excludes allocations to non-equity partner interests. Management reviewed the performance of the Och-Ziff Funds segment before it made any allocations to the Company's non-equity partners for periods prior to the Reorganization. For these periods, allocations to the partners, other than Mr. Och, were treated as expenses for GAAP purposes. Following the Reorganization, only allocations related to earnings on previously deferred incentive income allocations to non-equity partner interests are incurred and these allocations are excluded from Economic Income. (d) Economic Income excludes Reorganization expenses, which are non-cash expenses directly attributable to the reclassification of interests held by the partners and the Ziffs prior to the Reorganization into Group A Units. (e) Economic Income excludes the profit sharing expense related to the Ziffs' interest in the Company. Management reviewed the performance of the Och-Ziff Funds segment before it made any allocations to the Ziffs for periods prior to the Reorganization. Following the Reorganization, only profit sharing expense related to the allocation of earnings on previously deferred incentive income allocations to the Ziffs are incurred and these allocations are excluded from Economic Income. (f) Economic Income excludes depreciation, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, income taxes and partners' and others' interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries, as management does not consider these items when evaluating the performance of the Och-Ziff Funds segment. (g) Economic Income excludes the net earnings (losses) on the deferred income receivable from Och-Ziff funds and net earnings (losses) on investments in Och-Ziff funds and other entities, as these amounts relate to earnings (losses) on amounts due to affiliates for deferred or reinvested incentive income previously allocated to the partners and the Ziffs, and earnings (losses) on amounts due to employees under deferred cash compensation arrangements.

(2) Prior to the second quarter of 2008, the grant-date fair value of RSUs awarded to employees, excluding awards made at the time of the Company's IPO, was recognized as an expense in full on the date of the award within Economic Income and Distributable Earnings; therefore, RSUs awarded in the period were excluded from Adjusted Class A shares. Management no longer includes this expense when calculating Economic Income, Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per Share. Therefore, RSUs awarded during the period are now included in Adjusted Class A Shares. The first-quarter 2008 amounts included within the six months ended June 30, 2008, have been recalculated to conform to the new methodology.

Amounts presented in this table are not the amounts used to calculate Management Fees and Incentive Income for the respective periods. (2) Appreciation reflects the aggregate net capital appreciation for the entire period and is presented on a total return basis, net of all fees and expenses (except incentive income on certain unrealized private investments that could reduce returns on these investments at the time of realization), and includes the reinvestment of all dividends and income. Management Fees and Incentive Income vary by product. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. (3) Fund performance reflects a composite of the monthly return for the feeder funds comprising each of the Company's most significant master funds and is presented on a total return basis, net of all fees and expenses of the relevant fund (except incentive income on certain unrealized special investments that could reduce returns at the time of realization), and includes the reinvestment of all dividends and income. Performance includes realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to certain private and initial public offering investments that are not allocated to all investors in the funds. Investors that do not participate in such investments or that pay different fees may experience materially different returns. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

(the "Fund") represents a composite of the average return of the feeder funds that comprise the Fund. Returns are presented on a total return basis, net of all fees and expenses (except incentive income on certain unrealized private investments that could reduce returns on these investments at the time of realization), and include the reinvestment of all dividends and income. Performance includes realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to certain private and initial public offering investments that are not allocated to all investors in the Fund. Investors that do not participate in such investments or that pay different fees may experience materially different returns. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. For the period from 1994 through 1997, performance represents the performance of Och-Ziff Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership that was managed by Daniel S. Och following an investment strategy that is substantially similar to that of the Fund. In addition, during this period performance was calculated by deducting management fees on a quarterly basis and incentive income on a monthly basis. Beginning January 1998, performance has been calculated by deducting both management fees and incentive income on a monthly basis from the composite returns of the Fund. Readers should not assume that there is any material overlap between those securities in the portfolio of the Fund and those that comprise the S&P 500 Index. It is not possible to invest directly in the S&P 500 Index. Returns of the S&P 500 Index have not been reduced by fees and expenses associated with investing in securities and include the reinvestment of dividends. The S&P 500 Index is an equity index owned and maintained by Standard & Poor's, a division of McGraw-Hill, whose value is calculated as the free float-weighted average of the share prices of 500 large-cap corporations listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq. The comparison of S&P 500 Index performance relative to the Fund's performance during months in which the S&P 500 Index declined is for the limited purpose of illustrating how the Fund has performed during periods of declines in the broad equity market.

Performance includes realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to certain private and initial public offering investments that are not allocated to all investors in the funds. Investors that do not participate in such investments or that pay different fees may experience materially different returns. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Readers should not assume that there is any material overlap between those securities in the portfolio of the funds and those that comprise the S&P 500 Index. It is not possible to invest directly in the S&P 500 Index. Returns of the S&P 500 Index have not been reduced by fees and expenses associated with investing in securities and include the reinvestment of dividends. The S&P 500 Index is an equity index owned and maintained by Standard & Poor's, a division of McGraw-Hill, whose value is calculated as the free float-weighted average of the share prices of 500 large-cap corporations listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq. The comparison of S&P 500 performance relative to the funds' performance should not be considered an indication of how the fund will perform relative to the S&P 500 in the future. Please note that the funds' investment objective is not to beat the S&P 500 Index. Furthermore, the funds performance has frequently trailed that of the S&P 500 Index in periods of positive performance.
