Ares Management Corporation reported strong top-line growth for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, with total revenues of $1.350 billion versus $788.7 million a year earlier, driven by higher management fees of $900.6 million and a positive carried interest allocation of $323.9 million. Net income attributable to Ares Management Corporation was $137.1 million for the quarter and $184.2 million for the six months, while net income attributable to Class A and non-voting common stockholders was $111.8 million for the quarter and $133.6 million for the six months. Earnings per share for Class A and non-voting stock were $0.46 basic and diluted for the quarter.
On the balance sheet, total assets rose to $27.265 billion from $24.884 billion, driven in part by the March 1, 2025 acquisition of GCP International for $3.91 billion. The deal increased goodwill to $3.436 billion and intangible assets to $2.220 billion. Cash and cash equivalents declined to $509.7 million from $1.508 billion at year-end, debt obligations increased to $3.675 billion, and net cash provided by operating activities was $2.410 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
ARES – Form 4: Director Paul G. Joubert was granted 1,166 restricted stock units (RSUs) of Ares Management Corp. on 31-Jul-2025 under the company’s equity incentive plan. The award carries no cash consideration (reported price $0) and each unit converts into one share of Class A Common Stock when vesting conditions are met.
The RSUs are scheduled to fully vest on the first anniversary of the grant date; 1,166 units are already reflected in Joubert’s ownership. Following the award, the director’s total beneficial holdings rise to 42,468 Class A shares.
The filing, signed 04-Aug-2025, shows a routine, compensation-related increase in insider ownership. While it modestly aligns the director’s incentives with shareholders, the 0.01%-level change is immaterial to Ares’ float and should not meaningfully affect valuation or dilution.
