Recent Company History

Over the past several months, Abacus has highlighted strong financial momentum, including record Q4 and full-year 2025 results with revenue of $235.2M and adjusted net income of $85.7M. That event also introduced a $96–$104M adjusted net income outlook for 2026, a $0.20 annual dividend, and a $20M buyback, yet shares slipped 0.51%. Today’s Q1 2026 update and raised guidance build directly on that prior trajectory.

Key Terms

adjusted net income, adjusted eps, adjusted ebitda, non-gaap, +4 more
8 terms
adjusted net income financial
"Raises Full-Year 2026 Adjusted Net Income1 Guidance to $100–$106 Million"
Adjusted net income is a company's reported profit after removing unusual, one-time, or non-operational items so the number reflects the business’s regular earning power. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard — similar to judging a player’s season performance without a few fluke games — to compare companies or assess trends without being misled by rare gains or losses that won’t affect future cash flow.
adjusted eps financial
"Issues Full-Year 2026 Adjusted EPS1 Guidance of $1.00–$1.05; Q2 Adjusted EPS Guidance"
Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted eps) is a measure of a company's profit per share that has been modified to exclude certain one-time or unusual items, such as costs from restructuring or asset sales. It provides a clearer picture of the company’s core performance by removing events that may distort the usual earnings. Investors use adjusted eps to better understand a company's ongoing profitability and compare it more accurately over time.
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA1 Grows 33.3% to $32.7 Million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-gaap financial
"First Quarter 2026 Non-GAAP Highlights"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
operating cash flow financial
"Generates $91.7 Million in Operating Cash Flow, an Increase of More Than $153 Million"
Operating cash flow is the amount of money a company earns from its main business activities, like selling products or services. It shows how well the company can generate cash to pay bills, invest in growth, or return money to shareholders. This figure helps investors understand if the company’s core operations are healthy and sustainable.
aum financial
"Gross AUM reached approximately $3.6 billion on $378 million of gross capital inflows"
Assets under management (AUM) is the total market value of investments that a financial firm or fund manages on behalf of clients. Investors watch AUM like the size of a shop: larger AUM can mean more fee revenue, greater market influence and perceived stability, while rapid changes in AUM signal growing popularity or redemptions that may affect future earnings and investment strategy.
roic financial
"Annualized ROIC 1 | 17% | 17% | Maintained YoY"
Return on invested capital (ROIC) measures how well a company turns the money it uses to run and grow the business into profit, expressed as a percentage. Think of it like how much fruit a tree yields for each seed and watering dollar invested: higher ROIC means management is extracting more value from each dollar put into the company. Investors use it to compare how efficiently different companies deploy capital and whether returns justify the risk of holding the stock.
roe financial
"Annualized ROE 1 | 19% | 16% | +19% YoY"
Return on equity (ROE) measures how much profit a company generates from the money shareholders have invested, like checking how effectively a chef turns ingredients into meals. Investors use it to compare how well companies turn investor funds into earnings—higher ROE usually means management is using capital more efficiently, while a low ROE can signal weaker profitability or poor use of equity.

ORLANDO, Fla., May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abacus Global Management, Inc. (“Abacus” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ABX), a financial services company specializing in alternative asset management, data-driven wealth solutions, technology innovations, and institutional services with a focus on longevity-based assets and personalized financial planning, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Jay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Abacus commented, “This quarter, the results reflect both the execution of our platform and the moment this asset class is having. Gross AUM reached approximately $3.6 billion on $378 million of gross capital inflows, longevity income fund AUM has grown nearly 4x year-over-year approaching $1 billion, and we deployed $163.6 million in origination capital. At the same time, we returned 100% of investor capital in our LMA Income II Fund at term, on time, as promised, with two-thirds of those investors choosing to recommit or extend their investment. That is not a capital return event. That is a validation. Our assets are mortality-driven, structurally uncorrelated to credit and equity cycles, and in this macro environment, that distinction is driving institutional demand. We increased our 2026 guidance, and our strategic initiatives including our investment in Manning & Napier and a second securitization are advancing on schedule. Quarter after quarter, we do what we say we will do.”

Other First Quarter 2026 Highlights 

  • On March 12, 2026, Abacus entered into a definitive agreement to acquire an approximately $53 million minority equity stake in Manning & Napier, Inc., a diversified wealth and asset management firm with approximately $18 billion in total AUM. In connection with the investment, the parties will enter into a Strategic Alliance Agreement designed to drive product distribution, lead generation and referrals, and joint product development across the two platforms. The transaction is expected to close in Q2 2026, subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals.
  • During Q1 2026, Abacus returned 100% of investor capital in its LMA Income II Fund at term, on time, and as promised, with approximately two-thirds of investors electing to re-commit or extend their investment. The successful capital return underscores the reliability of the Company’s fund structures and the growing institutional confidence in longevity-based investment products.
  • Following the quarter’s end, on April 17, 2026, Abacus announced several key leadership appointments: Alexei Solomon, CPA, Abacus’ Treasurer was elevated to also serve as our Chief Accounting Officer. Elena Plesco was named Abacus’ Chief Investment Officer. Samantha Butcher, President of Abacus Life Solutions, was elevated to an Executive Officer of Abacus.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Abacus adjusted for non-controlling interest income, amortization, change in fair value of warrants and non-cash stock-based compensation and the related tax effect of those adjustments. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to Net income attributable to Abacus, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below.

The Company is unable to provide a comparable FY 2026 outlook for, or a reconciliation to net income because it cannot provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort. Its inability to do so is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of items that have not yet occurred and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including variations in effective tax rate, expenses to be incurred for acquisition activities, and other one-time or exceptional items.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Abacus adjusted for depreciation expense, amortization, interest expense, income tax and other non-cash and certain non-recurring items that in our judgement significantly impact the period-over-period assessment of performance and operating results that do not directly relate to business performance within Abacus’ control. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income attributable to Abacus, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below.

Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total revenues. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to Net income margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below.

Annualized return on invested capital (“ROIC”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted Net Income for the quarter divided by the result of Total Assets less Intangible assets, net, Goodwill and Current Liabilities, multiplied by four. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe ROIC should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities or other income statement or cash flow statement line items reported in accordance with GAAP.

Annualized return on equity (“ROE”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by total shareholder equity, multiplied by four. ROE is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe

ROE should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities or other income statement or cash flow statement line items reported in accordance with GAAP. The below table presents our calculation of ROE.

While Abacus believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors that could impact the future performance or results of its business. The factors that could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:  the potential impact of our business relationships, including with our employees, customers and competitors; changes in general economic and business and conditions, including changes in the financial markets; political instability both in the U.S. and abroad, to include political violence, terrorism, and war; weakness or adverse changes in the level of activity in our sector or the sectors of our affiliated companies, which may be caused by, among other things, high or increasing interest rates, or a weak U.S. economy; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation; the failure to meet Abacus’s investment ‎objectives; the inability to raise capital on favorable terms or at all; and the effectiveness of Abacus’s control environment, including the identification of control deficiencies.

These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors, forward-looking statements and challenges and uncertainties set forth in documents filed by Abacus with ‎the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the Annual ‎Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent ‎periodic reports.
