Assets Under Management and Asset Flows
(in billions)
	Three Months Ended											Three Months Ended
	9/30/2025				9/30/2024				Change			6/30/2025				Change
Ending total assets under management	$	169.3			$	183.7			(8	%)		$	170.7			(1	%)
Average total assets under management	$	170.3			$	176.0			(3	%)		$	167.0			2	%

Net flows	$	(3.9	)		$	(1.7	)		123	%		$	(3.9	)		(2	%)

Total assets under management of $169.3 billion at September 30, 2025 compared with $170.7 billion in the prior quarter as market performance and positive net flows in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were more than offset by net outflows in other products. In addition, the company provided services to $1.8 billion of other fee-earning assets that are not included in assets under management.

Total sales of $6.3 billion increased 12% from $5.6 billion in the prior quarter. Institutional sales of $2.0 billion increased from $1.3 billion and included the issuance of a $0.4 billion collateralized loan obligation (CLO). Retail separate account sales of $1.4 billion were consistent with the prior quarter. Open-end fund sales of $2.8 billion were essentially unchanged and included $0.9 billion of ETF sales, the highest quarterly level.

Net flows of ($3.9) billion were unchanged from the prior quarter. Institutional net flows of ($1.5) billion compared with ($2.2) billion and were primarily due to large-cap growth. Retail separate account net flows of ($1.2) billion compared with ($0.8) billion with net outflows led by small- and small/mid-cap strategies. Open-end fund net flows, which included $0.9 billion of positive ETF net flows, were ($1.1) billion and compared with ($1.0) billion in the prior quarter as positive net flows in fixed income and alternatives were more than offset by net outflows in equity strategies.

GAAP Results

Operating income of $47.1 million increased from $45.2 million in the prior quarter reflecting a 4% increase in revenues due to higher average assets under management, partially offset by a 2% increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to discrete business initiative expenses, higher employment expenses due to variable incentive compensation, and the impact in the prior quarter of a fair value adjustment to contingent consideration.

Net income attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. of $4.65 per diluted share included ($1.54) of realized and unrealized losses on investments, partially offset by $0.42 of fair value adjustments to minority interests. Net income per diluted share of $6.12 in the prior quarter included $0.50 and $0.32 of fair value adjustments to minority interests and contingent consideration, respectively.

The effective tax rate of 29% increased from 22% in the prior quarter, primarily reflecting an increase in income tax valuation allowances for net unrealized and realized losses compared to the prior quarter.

Non-GAAP Results

Revenues, as adjusted, of $196.7 million increased 3% from $191.0 million in the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in average assets under management.

Employment expenses, as adjusted, of $98.7 million compared with $97.2 million due to higher variable incentive compensation. Other operating expenses, as adjusted, of $31.1 million decreased from $32.0 million due to lower rent expense and the prior quarter impact of the annual equity grant to the Board of Directors, partially offset by $1.0 million of discrete business initiative expenses.

Operating income, as adjusted, of $65.0 million and the related margin of 33.0% increased from $59.8 million and 31.3%, respectively, due to the increase in revenues and essentially flat operating expenses.

Net income attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., as adjusted, per diluted share was $6.69, a 7% increase from $6.25 in the prior quarter and included ($0.11) per share of discrete business initiative expenses. The sequential increase primarily reflected higher investment management fees.

The effective tax rate, as adjusted, of 26% was essentially unchanged from the prior quarter.

The company completed a refinancing of its credit arrangement on September 26, 2025 with a new $400.0 million senior secured loan and $250.0 million revolving credit facility, increasing the company's financial flexibility and extending its debt maturity profile.

Working capital of $288.4 million at September 30, 2025 doubled from June 30, 2025 primarily due to net proceeds from the debt refinancing partially offset by $29.7 million to sponsor the new CLO and a $14.8 million increase in equity ownership of a majority-owned investment manager.

During the quarter, the company increased its quarterly dividend by 7% to $2.40 per share.

Gross debt at September 30, 2025 was $400.0 million. Net debt was $29.4 million, or 0.1x EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations
(in thousands except per share data)

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release differ from financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a result of the reclassification of certain income statement items, as well as the exclusion of certain expenses and other items that are not reflective of the earnings generated from providing investment management and related services. Management uses these measures to evaluate the company’s financial performance and operational decision-making. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented together with directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors and other interested parties to provide additional insight, promote transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management. Please see the Notes to Reconciliations on page 13 for additional information on how these measures reflect the company’s operating results. Non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures. Also, the non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release may not be comparable to the similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following are reconciliations and related notes of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure:

Notes to Reconciliations:

1. Consolidated investment products - Revenues and expenses generated by operating activities of mutual funds and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) that are consolidated in the financial statements. Management believes that excluding these operating activities to reflect net revenues and expenses of the company prior to the consolidation of these products is consistent with the approach of reflecting its operating results from managing third-party client assets.

Revenue Related

2. Investment management/Distribution and service fees - Each of these revenue line items is reduced to exclude fees passed through to third-party client intermediaries who own the retail client relationship and are responsible for distributing company sponsored investment products and servicing the client. The amount of fees fluctuates each period, based on a predetermined percentage of the value of assets under management, and varies based on the type of investment product. The specific adjustments are as follows:

Investment management fees - Based on specific agreements, the portion of investment management fees passed through to third-party intermediaries for services to investors in sponsored investment products.

Distribution and service fees - Based on distinct arrangements, fees collected by the company then passed through to third-party client intermediaries for services to investors in sponsored investment products. The adjustment represents all of the company's distribution and service fees that are recorded as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company's operating results with other asset management firms that do not utilize third-party client intermediaries.

Expense Related

3. Distributions to minority interests - Earnings allocated and paid to certain limited partners of a majority owned manager are recorded as employment expenses in the financial statements. Management believes reclassifying these earnings distributions to noncontrolling interests to reflect these payments as non-operating earnings distributions aids in comparing the company's operating results with other asset managers that do not have majority-owned managers.

4. Distribution and other asset-based expenses - Primarily payments to third-party client intermediaries for providing services to investors in sponsored investment products. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that do not utilize third-party client intermediaries.

5. Amortization of intangible assets - Non-cash amortization expense or impairment expense, if any, attributable to acquisition-related intangible assets, including any portion that is allocated to noncontrolling interests. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions.

6. Restructuring expense - Certain non-recurring expenses associated with restructuring the business, including lease abandonment-related expenses and severance costs associated with staff reductions that are not reflective of ongoing earnings generation of the business.

7. Deferred compensation and related investments - Compensation expense, gains and losses (realized and unrealized), and interest and dividend income related to deferred compensation and related balance sheet investments. Market performance of deferred compensation plans and related investments can vary significantly from period to period. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the Company's operating results with prior periods.

8. Acquisition and integration expenses - Expenses that are directly related to acquisition and integration activities. Acquisition expenses include certain transaction related employment expenses, transaction closing costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration, certain professional fees, and financing fees. Integration expenses include costs incurred that are directly attributable to combining businesses, including compensation, restructuring and severance charges, professional fees, consulting fees, and other expenses. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions.

Components of Acquisition and Integration Expenses for the respective periods are shown below:

	Three Months Ended
Acquisition and Integration Expenses	9/30/2025			9/30/2024				6/30/2025
Employment expenses	$	454		$	956			$	435
Change in fair value of contingent consideration		—			(4,000	)			(3,014	)
Total Acquisition and Integration Expenses	$	454		$	(3,044	)		$	(2,579	)

9. Other - Certain expenses that are not reflective of the ongoing earnings generation of the business. Employment expenses and noncontrolling interests are adjusted to exclude fair value measurements of manager minority interests. Other operating expenses are adjusted for non-capitalized debt issuance costs, amortization of lease termination fees and transition related expense (benefit). Interest expense is adjusted to remove gains on early extinguishment of debt and the write-off of previously capitalized costs in connection with a debt modification. Income tax expense (benefit) items are adjusted for uncertain tax positions, changes in tax law, valuation allowances, and other unusual or infrequent items not related to current operating results to reflect a normalized effective rate. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company’s operating results with prior periods.

Seed Capital and CLO Related

10. Seed capital and CLO investments (gains) losses - Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) of seed capital and CLO investments. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) generated by investments in seed capital and CLO investments can vary significantly from period to period and do not reflect the company’s operating results from providing investment management and related services. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with prior periods and with other asset management firms that do not have meaningful seed capital and CLO investments.

Definitions:
