Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Net Loss Expansion: Net loss increased significantly to $(60.8) million from $(10.4) million in 2024. This was primarily driven by a $25.5 million goodwill impairment charge related to the Long-Term Care (LTC) reporting unit and increased transaction costs ($9.5 million) associated with the Business Combination.
- Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased 8% to $53.6 million, driven by the Insurance Solutions segment ($40.6 million vs. $34.8 million), partially offset by a 14% decline in Asset Management revenues ($13.0 million vs. $15.0 million) due to the wind-down of Ovation funds and the merger of Logan Ridge into Portman Ridge.
- Insurance Segment Performance: Spread Related Earnings (SRE) collapsed to near zero from $13.7 million. This was caused by lower net investment income (due to lower yields and higher realized losses) and a $10.0 million increase in the cost of funds, driven by unfavorable in-force updates to the LTC business.
- AUM Decline: Total AUM decreased by approximately $0.3 billion to $2.1 billion, reflecting declines in BDC, CLO, and Interval Fund assets, partially offset by growth in Ability's AUM.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Management Commentary and Outlook
Management emphasizes a "capital flywheel" strategy where Fee Related Earnings (FRE) from Asset Management are reinvested into the Insurance Solutions segment to support reinsurance treaties, generating Spread Related Earnings (SRE). The Company aims to scale private credit AUM and expand MYGA reinsurance through diversified channels. Subsequent to year-end, the Company announced a $10 million share repurchase program and completed a $40 million senior unsecured note offering.
Unusual Items
- Goodwill Impairment: A full impairment of $25.5 million was recorded for the LTC reporting unit due to a change in accounting basis from IFRS to U.S. GAAP, which reduced reserves and increased the carrying value of the unit above its fair value.
- Employee Misconduct: In October 2025, the Company discovered a former employee misappropriated approximately $0.7 million from a portfolio company. The Company has repaid the amount and is investigating potential further reimbursements up to $1.3 million. This matter was self-reported to the SEC.
Risks and Contingencies
- Regulatory Capital: Ability Insurance Company must maintain a Risk-Based Capital (RBC) ratio above 200% (currently 501%) to avoid regulatory action and above 300% to write new business.
- Interest Rate Sensitivity: The Insurance Solutions segment faces risks from interest rate fluctuations affecting the spread between investment earnings and policyholder crediting rates.
- BCPA Dependency: The Company relies heavily on BC Partners Advisors L.P. (BCPA) for staffing, administrative services, and management, creating potential conflicts of interest and operational dependency.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Goodwill Impairment Details: Verify the specific actuarial assumptions and fair value calculations used to determine the $25.5 million LTC impairment charge.
- Employee Misconduct Impact: Monitor the outcome of the forensic review regarding the former employee's misconduct and the final amount of potential reimbursements to the AIF fund.
- Insurance Segment Spreads: Analyze the sustainability of the Insurance Solutions segment's net investment spread (0.65% in 2025 vs. 2.08% in 2024) and the impact of the unfavorable LTC in-force update.
- Debt Covenants: Review the terms of the $40 million 8.0% Senior Notes issued in January 2026 and the existing credit facilities to ensure compliance with leverage and interest coverage ratios.
- BCPA Agreements: Review the terms of the Staffing and Resource Agreement and Servicing Agreement with BCPA, specifically regarding termination rights and cost allocation.
