Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments Line of Credit On July 29, 2024, PJT Partners Holdings LP, as borrower (the “Borrower”), entered into a syndicated revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and related documents with Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and certain other financial institutions party thereto as lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest of plus 1.85% per annum. In connection with the closing of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower paid certain closing costs and fees. In addition, the Borrower will also pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility of 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The revolving credit facility will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate on July 29, 2026, subject to extension by agreement of the Borrower and Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants that among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Borrower (subject to certain qualifications and exceptions) to make certain payments and enter into certain transactions. The Borrower is required to comply with the following financial covenants (in each case, as defined in the Credit Agreement): • Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $300 million; and • Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 1.50 to 1.00. A breach of such covenants or any other event of default would entitle the Administrative Agent to accelerate the Borrower’s debt obligations under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants under the Credit Agreement. Contingencies Litigation From time to time, the Company may be named as a defendant in legal actions relating to transactions conducted in the ordinary course of business. Some of these matters may involve claims of substantial amounts. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such legal actions, in the opinion of management, after consultation with external counsel, the Company believes it is not probable and/or reasonably possible that any current legal proceedings or claims would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company is not currently able to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support such an assessment, including quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from other parties and investigation of factual allegations, rulings by courts on motions or appeals, analysis by experts or the status of any settlement negotiations. In connection with these matters, the Company has incurred and may continue to incur legal expenses, which are expensed as incurred and presented net of any insurance reimbursements. These expenses are recorded in Professional Fees and Other Expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no material developments to the legal proceedings previously disclosed in Note 14. “Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies, Litigation” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in “Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Guarantee The Company provides a guarantee to a lending institution for certain loans held by employees for investment in funds of its former Parent, which are secured by the underlying investments in those funds. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount guaranteed was $1.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively. In connection with this guarantee, the Company currently expects any associated risk of loss to be insignificant. Indemnifications The Company has entered and may continue to enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification obligations. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is not known; however, the Company currently expects any associated risk of loss to be insignificant. In connection with these matters, the Company has incurred and may continue to incur legal expenses, which are expensed as incurred. Transactions and Agreements with former Parent Employee Matters Agreement Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay former Parent the net realized cash benefit resulting from certain compensation-related tax deductions. Amounts are payable annually (for periods in which a cash benefit is realized) within nine months of the end of the relevant tax period. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had accrued $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which the Company anticipates will be payable to former Parent after the Company files its respective tax returns. The tax deduction and corresponding payable related to such deliveries will fluctuate primarily based on the price of former Parent’s common stock at the time of delivery. |
