Insights

Financial Analyst

P10 delivered record fundraising with 10% AUM growth but showed flat earnings and slight profit declines despite revenue growth.

P10's Q1 2025 results showcase an interesting divergence between robust asset gathering and modest financial performance. The company achieved its strongest fundraising quarter in history with $1.4 billion in gross new fee-paying AUM, demonstrating strong investor appetite for P10's private market offerings. This contributed to the 10% year-over-year growth in fee-paying AUM, which reached $26.3 billion.

However, this impressive asset growth hasn't translated proportionally to the bottom line. While revenue increased modestly at 2% year-over-year to $67.7 million and fee-related revenue grew 4% to $67.6 million, profitability metrics showed slight deterioration. GAAP net income declined from $5.2 million to $4.7 million, and Fee-Related Earnings remained flat at $30.7 million. Adjusted Net Income decreased from $25.4 million to $23.5 million, with Fully Diluted ANI per share dropping from $0.21 to $0.20.

The 7% dividend increase to $0.0375 per share signals management's confidence in future cash flow generation despite the earnings plateau. Concurrently, P10 has been actively repurchasing shares, buying back 1.2 million shares at an average price of $12.31 during Q1, with $28.5 million remaining under the current authorization.

The completion of the Qualitas Funds acquisition represents a strategic expansion of P10's global presence, though specific financial implications of this transaction weren't disclosed. The contrast between strong fundraising momentum and stagnant earnings raises questions about cost structure and operational efficiency as the company scales its asset base.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures by P10

The non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release (including, without limitation, Fee-Related Revenue (“FRR”), Fee-Related Earnings (“FRE”), Fee-Related Earnings Margin, Adjusted Net Income (“ANI”), Fully Diluted ANI per share and fee-paying assets under management) are not GAAP measures of the Company’s financial performance or liquidity and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as measures of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure is included later in this press release. The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provide useful additional information to investors because it provides better comparability of ongoing operating performance to prior periods. It is reasonable to expect that one or more excluded items will occur in future periods, but the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered substitutes for net income or cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment to non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons management considers it appropriate for supplemental analysis. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Notes to Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Above is a calculation of our unaudited non-GAAP financial measures. These are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be construed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are reconciled in the table above. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. Other companies may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

We use Adjusted Net Income, or ANI, Fee-Related Revenues, Fee-Related Earnings and Fee-Related Earnings Margin to provide additional measures of profitability. We use the measures to assess our performance relative to our intended strategies, expected patterns of profitability, and budgets, and use the results of that assessment to adjust our future activities to the extent we deem necessary. ANI reflects an estimate of our cash flows generated by our core operations. ANI is calculated as Fee-Related Earnings, plus Non-Fee Related Income, less actual cash paid for interest and federal and state income taxes.

In order to compute Fee-Related Earnings, we adjust our GAAP Net Income for the following items:

• Expenses that typically do not require us to pay them in cash in the current period (such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation);
• The cost of financing our business;
• One-time expenses related to restructuring of the management team including placement/search fees;
• Expenses related to one-time technical accounting matters;
• Acquisition-related expenses which reflects the actual costs incurred during the period for the acquisition of new businesses, which primarily consists of fees for professional services including legal, accounting, and advisory, as well as bonuses paid to employees directly related to the acquisition;
• The effects of income taxes;
• Non-Fee Related Income.
  
  

Fee-Related Revenues is calculated as Total Revenues less Non-Fee Related Revenue.

Fee-Related Earnings is a non-GAAP performance measure used to monitor our baseline earnings less any incentive fee revenue and excluding any incentive fee-related expenses.

Fee-Related Earnings Margin is calculated as Fee-Related Earnings divided by Fee-Related Revenues.

Adjusted Net Income reflects net cash paid for federal and state income taxes and cash interest expense.
