The company expects realized net performance income of about $75 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, up from $41 million a year earlier but below its previously communicated expectation of about $100 million for the quarter. Management attributes the shortfall mainly to timing, as certain European-style funds are now expected to generate realized net performance income in later quarters of 2026. Despite the weaker quarter, Ares continues to expect to generate over $350 million in realized net performance income for full-year 2026, compared with $169 million in 2025, while emphasizing that these figures are preliminary and subject to change.
