exchange-traded funds (ETFs) financial

"investment solutions beyond mutual funds, including ETFs, CITs and SMAs"

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are investment funds that pool money from many investors to buy a diverse mix of stocks, bonds, or other assets, all managed as a single package. They are traded on stock exchanges like individual stocks, allowing investors to buy or sell shares easily throughout the trading day. ETFs offer a simple way to diversify investments and access different markets or sectors without needing to buy many individual assets.

indefinite-lived intangible asset financial

"impairment of an indefinite-lived intangible asset in Q2 2024 associated with the 2018 acquisition"

An indefinite-lived intangible asset is a non-physical company resource—such as a well-known brand name, certain trademarks, or goodwill—that has no foreseeable limit to the period it will generate value. Investors care because these assets are not gradually charged as an expense over time; instead, they are periodically checked for loss of value, and a sudden write-down can sharply reduce reported profits and the company’s book value, like discovering a long-kept collectible has lost its worth.

value added tax (VAT) regulatory

"a value added tax (VAT) refund received in Q1 2025 related to amended VAT filings in the U.K."

A value added tax (VAT) is a consumption tax added to the sale price of goods and services and collected by businesses on behalf of the government. Think of it like a toll charged at each step of making and selling a product: businesses collect the tax from customers, pass it on to the tax authority, and may offset what they paid on purchases. VAT matters to investors because it affects a company’s pricing, cash flow, reported sales and expenses, profit margins, and compliance costs, and can influence competitiveness in different markets.

Financial Summary

Q4 2025 vs. Q4 2024

Revenue increased $58.2 million or 14% primarily due to a $51.7 million increase in revenue from higher average money market and equity assets and a $7.9 million increase in real estate development fees.

During Q4 2025, Federated Hermes derived 52% of its revenue from money market assets, 45% from long-term assets (29% from equity assets, 11% from fixed-income assets and 5% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset) and 3% from sources other than managed assets.

Operating expenses increased $33.0 million or 11% primarily due to a $24.3 million increase in distribution expenses resulting primarily from higher average money market fund assets and an increase in compensation and related expense of $7.8 million primarily related to higher incentive compensation.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased $2.9 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of investments in Q4 2025 compared to a decrease in the market value of investments in Q4 2024.

Q4 2025 vs. Q3 2025

Revenue increased $13.4 million or 3% primarily due to a $13.5 million increase in revenue from higher average money market and equity assets and an $8.3 million increase in real estate development fees.

Operating expenses increased $7.3 million or 2% primarily due to an $8.8 million increase in distribution expenses resulting primarily from higher average money market fund assets.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $6.1 million primarily due to a smaller increase in the market value of investments in Q4 2025 as compared to the increase in the market value of investments in Q3 2025.

2025 vs. 2024

Revenue increased $168.6 million or 10% primarily due to a $142.5 million increase in revenue from higher average money market and equity assets, a $7.9 million increase in performance fees and a $7.8 million increase in real estate development fees.

During 2025, Federated Hermes derived 53% of its revenue from money market assets, 45% from long-term assets (28% from equity assets, 11% from fixed-income assets and 6% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset) and 2% from sources other than managed assets.

Operating expenses increased by $16.2 million or 1% primarily due to a $52.1 million increase in distribution expenses resulting primarily from higher average money market fund assets and an increase in compensation and related expense of $37.2 million primarily related to higher incentive compensation. These increases were partially offset by lower intangible asset related expense resulting from the $66.3 million impairment of an indefinite-lived intangible asset in Q2 2024 associated with the 2018 acquisition of Federated Hermes Limited and a $16.1 million decrease in Other expense primarily due to a value added tax (VAT) refund received in Q1 2025 related to amended VAT filings in the U.K. and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased $13.5 million primarily due to a larger increase in the market value of investments in 2025 as compared to the increase in the market value of investments in 2024.
