News Explained

The remaining repurchase authorization could reduce outstanding securities, but the company is not required to use it.

The reported second-quarter update leaves GCM Grosvenor’s share-repurchase plan as optional rather than committed: the company is not obligated to buy Class A shares or warrants, and securities it does repurchase are cancelled.

The authorization also covers privately negotiated purchases, transactions involving employees, and retirement of equity awards; the company may suspend or terminate it without notice.

The release says its non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAP results, have analytical limitations, and may not be comparable with similarly named measures from other companies.

Key Terms

4 terms

gaap financial

"Reports Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Results With GAAP Net Income"

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

View in glossary

fee-related earnings financial

"Fee-Related Earnings Up 21%"

Fee-related earnings are the portion of a financial firm's profit that comes from client charges for services such as advice, asset management, custody, and transaction fees, rather than from trading gains or market movements. Investors care because these fees act like a steady subscription income—more predictable and less tied to market swings—so higher fee-related earnings usually signal more reliable long-term revenue and lower earnings volatility.

non-gaap financial measures financial

"We report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP."

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

share repurchase plan financial

"GCMG’s Board of Directors previously authorized a share repurchase plan"

A share repurchase plan is when a company uses cash to buy its own stock from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. This matters because fewer shares can make each remaining share represent a larger piece of ownership and boost earnings-per-share—like slicing a pizza into fewer pieces so each slice is bigger—and it can signal management thinks the stock is undervalued, though it also means cash won’t be used for other purposes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Included in the results above, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to assess the performance of our business across reporting periods and believes this information is useful to investors for the same reasons. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which we reconcile within the detailed presentation discussed above. Further, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these measurements in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures including net income (loss). We may calculate or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than other companies who report measures with the same or similar names, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable.

Share Repurchase Plan Authorization
GCMG’s Board of Directors previously authorized a share repurchase plan, which may be used to repurchase outstanding Class A common stock and warrants in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions including with employees or otherwise, as well as to retire (by cash settlement or the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) equity-based awards granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2020 Incentive Award Plan (or any successor equity plan thereto). The Company is not obligated under the terms of plan to repurchase any of its Class A common stock or warrants, and the size and timing of these repurchases will depend on legal requirements, price, market and economic conditions and other factors. The plan has no expiration date and the plan may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice. Any outstanding shares of Class A common stock and any warrants repurchased as part of this plan will be cancelled. Of the Company's $255.0 million total share repurchase authorization, $55.0 million remained available as of June 30, 2026.
