ORLANDO, Fla. – November 5, 2026 – Abacus Global Management, Inc. (“Abacus” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ABX), a financial services company specializing in alternative asset management, with a focus on longevity-based assets and personalized financial planning today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Jay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Abacus, said, “The financial industry has spent decades pricing nearly everything except the one variable that shapes every retirement, which is how long people live. We have spent 20 years building the data to price it, and this quarter the business built around that data began working as a single platform.”
Mr. Jackson added, “When insurance companies buy into a securitization of more than $400 million, that is a strong vote of confidence in the data and the underwriting behind it. When early inquiries about LifeARC represent more than $500 million of self-reported investable assets, it tells us the demand is far larger than what we started with. Both are happening at once, and we raised our outlook for the second time this year. The platform is what we set out to build, and with revenue growth of at least 20% in every quarter we have reported as a public company, it is working.”

Other Third Quarter 2026 Highlights
•Longevity fund inflows totaled $452.4 million in the third quarter, more than six times the prior-year period. Year to date through the third quarter, longevity fund inflows were approximately $997 million, compared to $604 million for all of 2025.
•Abacus launched its ABX Longevity Growth and Income Fund (ticker: ABXGX) in July. The fund is the Company’s first registered interval fund dedicated to the longevity asset class, providing investors and their advisors direct access to the lifespan-based investment strategy.
•In August, the Abacus Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program. The authorization aligns with the Company’s capital allocation framework and builds on the approximately $80 million of the Company’s common stock repurchased under prior authorized programs since December 2023.
•In September, Abacus completed a landmark $400 million securitization collateralized by a diversified portfolio of life insurance policies. The notes received an investment-grade rating from a third-party rating agency and the offering was oversubscribed and upsized in response to investor demand.
Liquidity and Capital
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $104.0 million, balance sheet policy assets held at fair value of $370.0 million, and total outstanding debt, net of deferred issuance costs and discounts, of $405.0 million. The Company generated $167.4 million in operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $(18.2) million in the prior-year period, reflecting the increasing cash generation capacity of the platform as longevity fund AUM scales.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Abacus adjusted for non-controlling interest income, amortization, change in fair value of warrants, business acquisition costs and non-recurring legal costs, and non-cash stock-based compensation and the related stock-based
(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measure. See reconciliations to nearest comparable GAAP measure beginning on page 6.
limitation tax effect before the estimated tax effect. The estimated tax effect to adjusted net income is based on the Company’s U.S. based federal and state statutory tax rates. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to Net income attributable to Abacus, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below.
Adjusted EPS measures per share earnings and is calculated as Adjusted Net Income divided by adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding. Management believes that Adjusted EPS may be useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate per share operating performance across reporting periods by eliminating the impact of expenses that do not relate to the Company’s business performance.
The Company is unable to provide a comparable FY 2026 outlook for, or a reconciliation to net income because it cannot provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort. Its inability to do so is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of items that have not yet occurred and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including variations in effective tax rate, expenses to be incurred for acquisition activities, and other one-time or exceptional items.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Abacus adjusted for depreciation expense, amortization, interest expense, income , business acquisition costs and non-recurring legal costs, non-cash expenses, and certain other items that in our judgment significantly impact the period-over-period assessment of performance and operating results that do not directly relate to business performance within the Abacus’ control. These items may include payments made as part of the Company's expense support commitment, change in fair value of debt, change in fair value of warrant liability, S&P 500 options that were entered into as an economic hedge related to the debt (described as the realized and unrealized gain on equity securities, at fair value), non-cash stock based compensation, and other items. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income attributable to Abacus, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below.
Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total revenues. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to Net income margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below.
Annualized return on invested capital (“ROIC”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted Net Income for the quarter divided by the result of Total Assets less Intangible assets, net, Goodwill and Current Liabilities, multiplied by four. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe ROIC should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities or other income statement or cash flow statement line items reported in accordance with GAAP.
Annualized return on equity (“ROE”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by total shareholder equity, multiplied by four. ROE is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe
ROE should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities or other income statement or cash flow statement line items reported in accordance with GAAP. The below table presents our calculation of ROE.
Forward-Looking Statements
(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measure. See reconciliations to nearest comparable GAAP measure beginning on page 6.
All statements in this press release (and oral statements made regarding the subjects of this press release) other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements, many of which are outside the control of Abacus. Forward-looking information includes but is not limited to statements regarding: Abacus’s financial and operational outlook; Abacus’s operational and financial strategies, including planned growth initiatives and the benefits thereof; Abacus’s ability to successfully effect those strategies, and the expected results therefrom; projections of future earnings and expected capital; Abacus’ ability to generate future cash flows; securitization schedules and timing; future demand for Abacus’ products and services; and the reliability of the Company’s fund structures and corresponding market confidence and expectations. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” "intend,” “anticipate,” “goals,” “prospects,” “will,” “would,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions (including the negative versions of such words or expressions).
While Abacus believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors that could impact the future performance or results of its business. The factors that could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the potential impact of our business relationships, including with our employees, customers and competitors; changes in general economic and business conditions, including changes in the financial markets; political instability both in the U.S. and abroad, to include political violence, terrorism, and war; weakness or adverse changes in the level of activity in our sector or the sectors of our affiliated companies, which may be caused by, among other things, high or increasing interest rates, or a weak U.S. economy; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation; the failure to meet Abacus’s investment objectives; the inability to raise capital on favorable terms or at all; and the effectiveness of Abacus’s control environment, including the identification of control deficiencies.
These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors, forward-looking statements and challenges and uncertainties set forth in documents filed by Abacus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent periodic reports. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Abacus cautions you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Abacus assumes no obligation and, except as required by law, does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Abacus does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
Risk disclosure: All securities investing and trading activities risk the loss of capital. Investors should carefully review the offering documents and consult with their own legal, tax, and financial advisors regarding the suitability of investments.

Abacus Global Management Increases Annual Dividend 10% to
$0.22 Per Share
~ Board Approves $0.22 Annual Cash Dividend to Shareholders of Record as of
December 1, 2026, Reinforcing Commitment to Shareholder Returns ~
ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Abacus Global Management, Inc. (“Abacus” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ABX), a financial services company specializing in alternative asset management, with a focus on longevity-based assets and personalized financial planning, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an annual cash dividend of $0.22 per share, payable on December 16, 2026, to shareholders of record as of December 1, 2026 (the ex-dividend/record date). This is an increase of 10% from the $0.20 per share paid last year. Under its dividend policy, the Company intends to distribute an annual dividend of up to 25% of adjusted net income.
“Raising our annual dividend by 10% reflects our confidence in the earnings power of this business,” said Jay Jackson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our cash generation gives us the flexibility to fund origination demand and continue to scale the platform while returning capital to shareholders.”
Jackson continued, “This increase is one part of a broader capital allocation strategy designed to create long-term shareholder value. With recurring revenues expected to approach 70% of total revenue over time, our goal is a durable, cash-generating business that compounds growth and rewards shareholders directly.”
Abacus expects to fund the annual dividend through cash on hand and free cash flow. The Company’s capital allocation strategy is designed to balance continued investment in origination growth, technology, and potential acquisitions with the return of capital to shareholders through an annual dividend and share repurchases.

These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors, forward-looking statements and challenges and uncertainties set forth in documents filed by Abacus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent periodic reports.

Dividend Policy
