Key Financial Metrics
As a Form 13F filing, this document reports equity holdings rather than the operating financial performance of the Carlyle Group itself. Consequently, metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, and liquidity for the Carlyle Group are not provided in this text. The only financial metric disclosed is the aggregate value of the reported holdings:
- Total Value of Reported Holdings: $1,457,998,000 (1,457,998 thousands)
- Total Number of Holdings Entries: 11
Material Changes
The filing text does not provide comparative data for the prior period (September 30, 2017) or detail specific material changes in holdings, positions, or values versus the prior quarter. The document serves as a snapshot of holdings at the end of the reporting period.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
This filing type does not contain management commentary, forward-looking guidance, or strategic outlook. The document includes a standard disclaimer stating that the SEC has not reviewed the information for accuracy or completeness. No specific risks, contingencies, or unusual items related to the reported holdings are described in the provided text.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific 11 equity positions listed in the full Information Table (not included in the provided text) to understand the portfolio composition.
- Confirm the distinction between holdings managed by Carlyle Group L.P. versus those managed by the included entities (Carlyle Investment Management LLC and CIM Global, L.L.C.).

- Review the filing date (February 14, 2018) to ensure the data reflects the most current available holdings for the 2017 fiscal year-end.
