Giving Back to Society - $80 million since IPO

Since our initial public offering in February 1999, our firm’s combined charitable donations total approximately $80 million, including $48 million through the shareholder designated charitable contribution program. Based on the program created by Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway, our corporate charitable giving is unique in that the recipients of Gabelli’s charitable contributions are chosen directly by our shareholders, rather than by our corporate officers. Since its inception in 2013, Gabelli shareholders have designated charitable gifts to approximately 350 charitable organizations.

The charitable giving program continues today with the creation of a private foundation, the Gabelli Funds Foundation, in September 2024. Headquartered in our office in Reno, Nevada, the charitable program was seeded with an initial contribution of $5 million.

Distribution fees and other income		3,579				4,354
Total revenue	$	59,024			$	57,644

The year over year increase in Funds revenues was primarily the result of higher average assets under management. The Institutional and Private Wealth Management slippage in revenues was the result of lower equity assets at the beginning of the quarter, which are generally used to calculate the revenues. The decrease in distribution fees and other income was primarily the result of a decrease in equity mutual funds AUM that pay distribution fees.

Expenses

(In thousands)	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2025				June 30, 2024
Compensation	$	25,035			$	29,006

Distribution costs		5,319				5,709
Other operating expenses		6,715				5,258
Total expenses	$	39,854			$	41,994

The lower compensation expense in the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the prior year quarter reflects $5.4 million of waived compensation partially offset by higher fixed compensation of $0.6 million and higher variable compensation of $0.8 million.

Operating Margin

The operating margin, which represents the ratio of operating income to revenue, was 32.5% for the second quarter of 2025 compared with 27.1% for the second quarter of 2024.

Growth Initiatives: Lift-outs, Partnerships, Joint Ventures, New Markets

	-	Partnership with Keeley management will enhance our research and portfolio teams for small and mid-cap focused assets
			On May 1, 2025, Gabelli formalized our partnership with Keeley for the management contracts of 4 open-end funds and approximately 500 separately managed accounts. This transaction with Teton Advisors, LLC added close to $1.0 billion of AUM. The current Chicago-based Keeley research, portfolio management, and client service teammates have joined Gabelli and will continue to manage and service these assets. Our history with the Keeley founder, John L. Keeley, Jr., dates back to the mid-1960’s, prior to the formation of your company, when John L. Keeley, Jr. and our Executive Chairman were sell side analysts. Our firms are privileged to continue our shared focus on a client first culture steeped in research.

The Gabelli Commercial Aerospace & Defense (GCAD) ETF – Up 22.7% For 2^nd quarter of 2025

Portfolio manager Tony Bancroft commented on several factors that impacted The Gabelli Commercial Aerospace & Defense (GCAD) ETF’s 2^nd quarter 2025 performance:

• Sector Resilience Amid Tariff Pressures:  The aerospace and defense sector maintained stability in Q2 2025, buoyed by a strong U.S. manufacturing base and consistent DoD demand, despite President Trump’s tariff policies creating modest cost pressures on imported materials like rare metals and electronics.
  
  
• Defense Budget Stability: The FY2026 defense budget of $893 billion, including $848 billion for the Pentagon, supports key holdings like Lockheed Martin and RTX, with increased investments in high-tech missiles, drones, and Indo-Pacific deterrence ensuring steady revenue streams.
  
  
• Commercial Aerospace Recovery: Robust air travel demand drove orders for fuel-efficient aircraft, benefiting Boeing, though its global supply chain faced minor tariff-related cost increases, partially offset by strong DoD contracts.
  
  
• Supply Chain and Cost Challenges: Tariff-driven risks, including potential supply chain disruptions and higher costs for specialized components, posed manageable near-term hurdles but could impact margins if trade tensions escalate.
  
  
• Long-Term Growth Outlook: Geopolitical tensions, military modernization, and sustained commercial aerospace demand, particularly in Asia and Africa, position the sector for multi-year growth, with GCAD’s holdings well-placed to capitalize on innovation and government-backed contracts.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
These ETFs are different from traditional ETFs. Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. These ETFs do not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example:

• You may have to pay more money to trade the ETFs’ shares. These ETFs will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information.
• The price you pay to buy ETF shares on an exchange may not match the value of an ETF’s portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for these ETFs compared to other ETFs because they provide less information to traders.
• These additional risks may be even greater in challenging or uncertain market conditions.
• The differences between these ETFs and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about the ETFs undisclosed, these ETFs may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve the ETFs’ performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict the ETFs’ investment strategies, however, this may hurt the ETFs’ performance. For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of these ETFs, see the ActiveShares prospectus/registration statement.

You should consider the ETFs’ investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before you invest. The ETFs’ Prospectus is available from G.distributors, LLC, a registered broker-dealer and FINRA member firm, and contains this and other information about the ETFs, and should be read carefully before investing.

GCAD
Government aerospace regulation and spending policies can significantly affect the aerospace industry because many companies involved in the aerospace industry rely to a large extent on U.S. (and other) Government demand for their products and services.

Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate.
