Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 93% year-over-year for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Asset Management revenue surged 3,811% and Life Solutions revenue grew 66.7%, primarily driven by the Carlisle and FCF acquisitions and increased policy trading activity.
• Profitability: The company transitioned from a net loss of $0.58 million in the prior year period to a net income of $22.22 million. Operating income increased 382% year-over-year.
• Expense Increases: Operating expenses rose significantly due to amortization of acquired intangible assets (up 190% YoY) and increased payroll and professional fees related to acquisitions. Interest expense increased 124% due to new debt issuances (Senior Secured Credit Facility and Fixed Rate Senior Notes).
• Balance Sheet: Cash decreased from $131.9 million to $74.8 million, largely due to debt repayments ($46.7 million) and stock repurchases ($35.1 million). Total debt principal increased to $357.1 million.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects current cash and operating cash flows to be sufficient for the next 12 months. The company is actively managing working capital to support policy purchases.
• Subsequent Events:
  • Warrant Exchange: The company completed an exchange offer for public and private placement warrants. Approximately 88% of outstanding warrants were tendered. The remaining warrants were exchanged for common stock at a rate of 0.207 shares per warrant, resulting in no warrants remaining outstanding as of August 14, 2025.
  • Acquisition: The company expects to complete the acquisition of an insurance brokerage firm in Q3 2025, utilizing an existing $9.0 million note receivable as consideration.
• Risks:
  • Liquidity: The first redemption window for LMAIS II opens March 31, 2026. Management asserts sufficient liquidity (cash, credit facility, and policy sales) to meet potential redemptions.
  • Valuation Sensitivity: Life settlement policy valuations rely on Level 3 inputs (discount rates, mortality assumptions). A 1% change in the discount rate could alter fair value by approximately $13.7 million.
  • Debt Covenants: The company is subject to financial maintenance covenants under its Senior Secured Credit Facility, including leverage and coverage ratios.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Warrant Elimination: Verify the final share count impact of the warrant exchange offer completed in August 2025.
• Debt Maturities: Review the maturity schedule for the $118.6 million LMA Income Series II, LP debt due March 31, 2026, and assess refinancing or redemption plans.
• Related Party Transactions: Scrutinize the $16.2 million in related party realized/unrealized gains from life policy sales to Carlisle Funds and LP Funds included in Q2 revenue.
• Amortization Impact: Confirm the sustainability of earnings given the significant increase in amortization expense ($9.9 million YTD) from recent acquisitions.
• Policy Portfolio: Assess the concentration risk in the life settlement portfolio, noting that Transamerica, Lincoln National, and John Hancock represent significant portions of face value.
