Ares Management Corporation provided a preliminary update on one key performance metric for the quarter ending June 30, 2026. Management currently expects realized net performance income for the quarter to be in excess of $50 million, compared to $16 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. This measure is a component of realized income and is a non-GAAP metric used by management to evaluate operating performance and segment contributions. The estimate is based on information available before completion of financial closing procedures, so actual results for the quarter may differ, possibly materially, and the figure is not intended to predict other income measures or results for any other period.

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.
