Insights

Great Elm posted higher revenue but a larger loss, while boosting buybacks and liquidity.

Great Elm Group grew fiscal Q3 2026 revenue to $3.4M, a 7% increase, reflecting fee generation across its credit and real estate platforms. However, net loss widened to $13.5M, mainly from unrealized losses on GECC-related investments, highlighting earnings sensitivity to market movements.

Operating performance was weak, with Adjusted EBITDA at a loss of $1.6M versus a prior-year profit. Still, cash and equivalents of $45.5M as of March 31, 2026 support growth and capital returns. Management repurchased about 1.4M shares and expanded the stock repurchase authorization to $40M, signaling ongoing capital return alongside investment in the platform.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Included in the financial tables below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measure"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
fee-paying assets under management financial
"GEG’s fee-paying assets under management (“FPAUM”) and assets under management (“AUM”) totaled approximately $528 million and $744 million"
The portion of an investment manager’s total assets that are charged regular fees by clients—money the firm actively manages and earns a fee on, such as mutual funds, advisory accounts, or managed portfolios. It matters to investors because it directly drives a manager’s revenue and profit potential: more fee-paying assets are like more rented storage units bringing steady rent, while declines or lower fee rates shrink future income and make the business more sensitive to client withdrawals.
Industrial Outdoor Storage financial
"Real Estate Ventures operates as a comprehensive, vertically-integrated real estate enterprise serving the Industrial Outdoor Storage, or “IOS,” sector"
Industrial outdoor storage is the keeping of equipment, raw materials, shipping containers or finished goods in secured yards, lots or open-air racks at industrial properties instead of inside buildings. For investors it matters because outdoor storage can change rental income, operating costs, insurance and environmental or zoning risks — like using a driveway instead of a garage, it’s cheaper space but brings different liabilities and value implications for property owners and tenants.
stock repurchase program financial
"the Company’s stock repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $40 million in aggregate of its outstanding common stock"
A stock repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the market. This can make each remaining share more valuable and shows that the company believes its stock is a good investment. It’s like a business treating its shares like a limited resource, hoping to boost confidence and share prices.
Non-GAAP financial measures financial
"The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC, and in public disclosures, of financial measures that are not in accordance with US GAAP"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

Company to Host Conference Call at 8:30 a.m. ET on May 7, 2026

 

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida, May 6, 2026 – Great Elm Group, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “GEG,” “Great Elm,” or “the Company”), (NASDAQ: GEG), an alternative asset manager, today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2026.

 

Management Commentary

Jason Reese, Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “We navigated a challenging fiscal third quarter against a backdrop of continued volatility and market negativity towards private credit. Results were primarily impacted by unrealized losses tied to movements in GECC’s share price. Nevertheless, we remain focused on prudent capital deployment and building momentum across our alternative asset management platform.

 

At GECC, we took decisive actions to strengthen the balance sheet and enhance portfolio quality. Our focus remains on rigorous credit underwriting, increasing portfolio diversification, and adding cash-generative, secured credit investments. GECC maintains ample liquidity and is positioned for an improved trajectory and long-term performance.

 

Within our real estate platform, Monomoy continues to drive growth and value creation. The business delivered strong operational execution during the quarter, supported by robust acquisition activity, an expanding development pipeline, and continued progress on strategic capital initiatives. Monomoy REIT closed five acquisitions during the quarter, surpassing total acquisition activity for all of calendar 2025, and continues to action a strong pipeline of attractive opportunities. We are actively exploring additional capital raising opportunities to grow the business.

 


 

We also continue to source unique investments through our proprietary network. Our CoreWeave-related investment continues to perform well, with cumulative distributions exceeding our initial investment and meaningful upside potential remaining at current trading levels.

 

Finally, we repurchased a significant amount of our common stock for the tenth consecutive quarter, underscoring our conviction in the business and our commitment to building shareholder value. Under our recently expanded stock repurchase program, approximately $25 million of capacity remains available. Looking ahead, we are focused on selectively deploying capital into compelling opportunities, growing assets under management and fee-related earnings, and delivering sustained long-term value for our shareholders.”

Statements in this press release that are “forward-looking” statements, including statements regarding expected growth, profitability, acquisition opportunities and outlook involve risks and uncertainties that may individually or collectively impact the matters described herein. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made and represent Great Elm’s assumptions and expectations in light of currently available information. These statements involve risks, variables and uncertainties, and Great Elm’s actual performance results may differ from those projected, and any such differences may be material. For information on certain factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from Great Elm’s expectations, please see Great Elm’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Additional information relating to Great Elm’s financial position and results of operations is also contained in Great Elm’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC and available for download at its website www.greatelmgroup.com or at the SEC website www.sec.gov.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC, and in public disclosures, of financial measures that are not in accordance with US GAAP, such as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is derived from methodologies other than in accordance with US GAAP. Great Elm believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure for investors to use in evaluating Great Elm’s businesses. In addition, Great Elm’s management reviews Adjusted EBITDA as they evaluate acquisition opportunities.

 

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it either in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analyzing Great Elm’s results as reported under US GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures reported by Great Elm may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

 

Included in the financial tables below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measure, net income from continuing operations.

 

Endnotes

1 Includes approximately $0.1 million of net realized and unrealized gain attributable to the Company’s investment in Consolidated Funds for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

2 Includes estimated future capital expenditures and tenant improvement commitments.
