Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased 2% year-over-year for both the three and six-month periods, driven by a 3-4% increase in management and advisory fees. This growth was supported by the Qualitas acquisition and continued fundraising success.
- Profitability Decline: Net income decreased 43% for the quarter and 30% for the six months compared to the prior year. This was primarily due to a $6.5 million loss recognized from the conversion of a strategic alliance revenue share into an equity interest in Bonaccord and increased interest expenses.
- Expense Fluctuations:
- Compensation: Decreased 11% (quarter) and 6% (six months) due to a reversal of $9.6 million in WTI earn-out expenses deemed no longer probable.
- Professional Fees: Increased 91% (quarter) and 82% (six months) due to legal and advisory costs associated with the Qualitas acquisition.
- Strategic Alliance Expense: Dropped to zero for the quarter as the agreement was converted to an equity interest.
- Balance Sheet: Total assets increased 7% to $932.2 million, driven by a $74.1 million increase in goodwill and intangibles from the Qualitas acquisition. Cash balances decreased 50% to $34.2 million due to acquisition costs and share repurchases.

Investor Verification Checklist
