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.
