Recent Company History

Over the past five earnings cycles, Sprott has consistently reported rising AUM and generally strong financial performance, with AUM growing from $31.1B in Q2 2024 to $49.1B in Q3 2025 and further to $59.6B by year-end 2025.

Analysis

This announcement highlights a materially stronger quarter for Sprott, with AUM reaching $65.1B, management fees rising to $81.5M and adjusted EBITDA of $57.9M. Growth was driven by exchange-listed products and carried interest crystallization, partly offset by sharply higher stock-based compensation. Historically, earnings releases have produced mixed share reactions despite generally positive fundamentals. Investors may focus on sustainability of performance fees, AUM growth in critical materials strategies, and trends in compensation intensity over coming quarters.

5 terms
aum financial
"Sprott’s Assets Under Management (“AUM”) were $65.1 billion as at March 31, 2026"
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.
etf financial
"We continued to expand our ETF offerings, subsequent to quarter-end, with the launch..."
An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is like a basket of different investments such as stocks or bonds that you can buy or sell easily on the stock market, just like a regular share. It allows people to invest in many companies at once, making it a simple way to grow savings without picking individual stocks.
rsus financial
"The Company issued 276,943 RSUs this year, down 72% from 976,550 RSUs in 2025."
RSUs, or restricted stock units, are a form of company shares given to employees as part of their compensation. They are typically awarded with certain restrictions, such as a waiting period before they can be fully owned or sold, similar to earning a gift that becomes fully yours over time. For investors, RSUs can impact a company's stock offerings and reflect how much the company relies on stock-based incentives to attract and retain talent.
ifrs regulatory
"measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)."
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of common accounting rules used by many companies worldwide to prepare financial statements, so numbers like revenue, profit and assets are measured in the same way across borders. For investors, IFRS matters because it makes it easier to compare the financial health and performance of different companies—like using the same ruler to measure different objects—reducing surprises and helping informed investment decisions.
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA was $57.9 million ($2.25 per share) for the quarter..."
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.

TORONTO, May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprott Inc. (NYSE/TSX: SII) (“Sprott” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Management commentary

"Sprott’s Assets Under Management (“AUM”) were $65.1 billion as at March 31, 2026, up 9% from $59.6 billion as at December 31, 2025," said Whitney George, Chief Executive Officer of Sprott. "Gold and silver prices were volatile during the first quarter of 2026, selling off sharply after reaching new highs in January. While near-term volatility remains elevated, the structural foundations of the precious metals market remain intact. Our critical materials strategies performed well during the period, accounting for 96% of our net sales across 13 different funds."

"We continued to expand our ETF offerings, subsequent to quarter-end, with the launch of the Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China ETF ("REXC") on April 15, 2026," added Mr. George. "REXC has performed very well since it launched in April. The strength of the Sprott brand is evident as investor adoption of our ETFs is increasing and we achieve key AUM and liquidity milestones more quickly with each subsequent product launch."

Key AUM highlights1

  • AUM was $65.1 billion as at March 31, 2026, up 9% from $59.6 billion as at December 31, 2025. On a three months ended basis, we benefited from market value appreciation across a majority of our fund products and positive net inflows to our exchange listed products.

Key revenue highlights

  • Management fees were $81.5 million for the quarter, up $41.5 million from $40 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Carried interest and performance fees were $52 million in the quarter, up $52 million from $nil for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Net fees were $93.8 million for the quarter, up $57.8 million from $35.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Our revenue performance in the quarter was positively impacted by higher average AUM on market value appreciation and inflows to our physical trusts and ETFs, as well as higher average AUM in our managed equities products. Additionally, we benefited from carried interest crystallization in our private strategies segment and performance fee crystallization in our managed equities segment.
  • Commission revenues were $5.8 million for the quarter, up $5.5 million from $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Net commissions were $3 million for the quarter, up $2.8 million from $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Commission revenue increased in the quarter due to higher ATM activity predominantly within our physical uranium trust, and to a lesser degree, in our physical copper trust.
  • Finance income was $2.5 million for the quarter, up $1.1 million or 77% from $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the quarter was due to higher income generated in co-investments made in our private strategies segment and increased interest income on higher cash balances.

Key expense highlights

  • Net compensation expense was $23.7 million for the quarter, up $6.3 million or 36% from $17.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to higher incentive compensation on increased net fee generation. Our net compensation ratio was 29% in the quarter (March 31, 2025 - 47%)
  • Stock-based compensation expense was $34.7 million for the quarter, up $28.5 million from $6.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the quarter was due to the Company's stock price appreciating 46% in the quarter, compared to 6% in the first quarter of last year. The Company issued 276,943 RSUs this year, down 72% from 976,550 RSUs in 2025.
  • SG&A expense was $5.9 million for the quarter, up $1.7 million or 42% from $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the quarter was due to higher marketing and professional services costs.

Earnings summary

  • Net income for the quarter was $29.2 million ($1.13 per share), up $17.3 million from $12 million ($0.46 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Our net income performance was primarily due to higher average AUM in our exchange listed products and managed equities segments and carried interest crystallization in our private strategies segment. These increases were partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense as a result of the Company's stock price appreciating 46% in the quarter, compared to 6% in the first quarter of last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $57.9 million ($2.25 per share) for the quarter, up $36 million from $21.9 million ($0.85 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter benefited from higher average AUM on market value appreciation and inflows to our physical trusts and ETFs, as well as higher average AUM in our managed equities products.

Subsequent events

  • Subsequent to quarter-end, as at May 1, 2026, AUM was $65.5 billion, up 1% from $65.1 billion as at March 31, 2026. Our performance subsequent to quarter-end was the result of $0.3 billion of market value appreciation and $0.2 billion in net inflows, primarily in our exchange listed products.
  • On May 5, 2026, the Sprott Board of Directors announced a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share.

(1) Prior period net revenues include the following revenues from non-reportable segments: Q4 2024 - $406; Q3 2024 - $497; and Q2 2024 - $650 and fund expense recoveries: Q4 2025- $469; Q3 2025 - $386; Q2 2025 - $327; Q1 2025 - $279; Q4 2024 - $280; Q3 2024 - $275; and Q2 2024 - $260.
(2) The increase in the quarter was primarily due to the Company's "cash-settled" stock-based compensation plan which requires mark-to-market accounting under IFRS 2. This led to market value fluctuations that were driven by NYSE:SII being up 46% in the quarter.
(3) Together, fund expenses, carried interest and performance fee payouts - external and commission expense - external are included in "Fund expenses" on the income statement.

(1) Calculated as IFRS net income divided by IFRS total revenue.
(2) This adjustment removes the income effects of gains or losses on short-term investments, co-investments, and private holdings to ensure the reporting objectives of our adjusted EBITDA metric are met.
(3) The increase in the quarter was primarily due to the Company's "cash-settled" stock-based compensation plan which requires mark-to-market accounting under IFRS 2. This led to market value fluctuations that were driven by NYSE:SII being up 46% in the quarter, compared to 6% in the first quarter of last year.

This press release includes financial terms (including AUM, net commissions, net fees, expenses, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and net compensation) that the Company utilizes to assess the financial performance of its business that are not measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These non-IFRS measures should not be considered alternatives to performance measures determined in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Our key performance indicators and non-IFRS and other financial measures are discussed below. For quantitative reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures please see schedule 2 and schedule 3 of the "Supplemental financial information" section of this press release.

Net fees

Net fees are calculated as: (1) total management fees net of fund expenses and direct payouts; and (2) carried interest and performance fees, net of their related payouts. Net fees is a key revenue indicator as it represents revenue contributions after directly associated costs in managing our AUM.

Net commissions

Net commissions are calculated as total commissions, net of commission expenses. Net commissions primarily arise from the purchase and sale of critical materials in our exchange listed products segment.

Net revenues

Net revenues are calculated as the total of: (1) net fees, excluding carried interest and performance fees, net of their related payouts; (2) net commissions; (3) finance income; and (4) co-investment income.

Net compensation & net compensation ratio

Net compensation is calculated as total compensation expense before: (1) commission expenses paid to employees; (2) direct payouts to employees; (3) carried interest and performance fee payouts to employees; (4) severance and new hire accruals; and (5) impact of market value fluctuations and graded vesting amortization on cash-settled equity plans. Net compensation ratio is calculated as net compensation divided by net revenues.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin

EBITDA in its most basic form is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA (or adjustments thereto) is a measure commonly used in the investment industry by management, investors and investment analysts in understanding and comparing results by factoring out the impact of different financing methods, capital structures, amortization techniques and income tax rates between companies in the same industry. While other companies, investors or investment analysts may not utilize the same method of calculating EBITDA (or adjustments thereto), the Company believes its adjusted EBITDA metric results in a better comparison of the Company's underlying operations against its peers and a better indicator of recurring results from operations as compared to other non-IFRS financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is a key indicator of a company’s profitability on a per dollar of revenue basis, and as such, is commonly used in the financial services sector by analysts, investors and management.
