Insights

Revenue and EPS declined; AUM and flows pressured; refinancing extends maturities.

Virtus posted Q3 revenue of $216.4M (down 4.7% YoY) as investment management fees softened. Operating income of $47.1M fell 14.8%, and diluted EPS declined to $4.65. The mix shows steady fee categories with modest decreases across open-end and institutional sources.

AUM was $169.3B, down 7.8% YoY, with quarterly total sales of $6.3B and net flows of $(3.9)B. Cash rose to $370.6M, while debt increased to $390.6M, reflecting the new $400.0M term loan and $250.0M revolver. The agreement uses SOFR-based pricing and introduces modest amortization.

The company declared a $2.40 dividend and executed $50.0M in YTD buybacks. Actual impact will hinge on future net flows and market performance; the refinancing provides funding flexibility within covenant limits.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company’s significant accounting policies, which have been consistently applied, are summarized in its 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Standards Implemented
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This standard updates income tax disclosure requirements by requiring disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2025. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The standard requires enhanced disclosures of certain expense captions presented on the face of the Consolidated Income Statement. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Clarifying the Effective Date which clarifies that the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted with amendments to be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this standard and, at this time, does not anticipate it will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The standard amends certain aspects of the accounting for internal-use software costs by requiring an entity to capitalize software costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The standard is

effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted using a prospective, modified or retrospective transition approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this standard and, at this time, does not anticipate it will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenues
The Company's revenues are recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied, which occurs when control of the services is transferred to clients. Investment management fees, distribution and service fees, and administration and shareholder service fees are generally calculated as a percentage of average net assets of the investment portfolios managed. The net asset values from which these fees are calculated are variable in nature and subject to factors outside of the Company's control, such as additional investments, withdrawals and market performance. Because of this, these fees are considered constrained until the end of the contractual measurement period (monthly or quarterly), which is when asset values are generally determinable.

The following is a discussion of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets measured at fair value:

Cash equivalents represent investments in money market funds. Cash investments in money market funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1.

Sponsored funds represent investments in funds for which the Company acts as the investment manager. The fair values of U.S. retail funds and global funds are determined based on their published net asset values and are categorized as Level 1. The fair value of closed-end funds and ETFs is determined based on the official closing price on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Equity securities represent securities traded on active markets, are valued at the official closing price (typically the last sale or bid) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Debt securities represent investments in corporate and government bonds and the note securities of collateralized loan obligations ("CLO"). The fair values of corporate and government bonds traded on active markets are valued at the official closing price on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded and are categorized as Level 1. Debt securities for which closing prices are not readily available or are deemed to not reflect readily available market prices, and are valued using an independent pricing service, are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of note securities of CLOs are based on valuations received from an independent valuation firm and are categorized as Level 3.

The following table presents a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of the Company's Level 3 debt securities:

Nonqualified retirement plan assets represent U.S. retail funds within the Company's nonqualified retirement plan whose fair value is determined based on their published net asset value and are categorized as Level 1.

Contingent consideration represents liabilities associated with contingent payment arrangements made in connection with the Company's business combinations. In these contingent payment arrangements, the Company agrees to pay additional transaction consideration to the seller based on future performance. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value each reporting date using a simulation model with the assistance of an independent valuation firm and approved by management and are categorized as Level 3.

The contingent consideration liability at September 30, 2025 of $20.0 million is related to the NFJ Group transaction. This liability is measured using an options pricing model valuation technique. The most significant unobservable inputs used relate to the revenue growth rates, discount rates (range of 6.06% - 6.12%) and the market price of risk adjustment (6.00%).

Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities equal or approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.


7. Equity Transactions
Dividends Declared
On August 13, 2025, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $2.40 per common share to be paid on November 14, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 31, 2025.

Common Stock Repurchases
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 287,072 common shares under its share repurchase program at a weighted average price of $174.14 per share, for a total cost, including fees and expenses, of $50.0 million. On May 14, 2025 the Board of Directors authorized an additional 750,000 shares to be repurchased under the program. There were no share repurchases during the three months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, 866,240 shares remained available for repurchase. Under the terms of the program, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time at its discretion through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions and/or other mechanisms, depending on price and prevailing market and business conditions. The program, which has no specified term, may be suspended or terminated at any time.


8. Stock-Based Compensation
Equity-based awards, including restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs"), stock options and unrestricted shares of common stock, may be granted to officers, employees and directors of the Company pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive and Equity Plan (the "Omnibus Plan"). At September 30, 2025, 688,839 shares of common stock remained available for issuance of the 3,825,000 shares that are authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense is summarized as follows:

Restricted Stock Units
Each RSU entitles the holder to one share of common stock when the restriction expires. RSUs may be time-vested or performance-contingent PSUs that convert into RSUs after performance measurement is complete and generally vest in one to three years. Shares that are issued upon vesting are newly issued shares from the Omnibus Plan and are not issued from treasury stock.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, a total of 43,532 and 49,086 RSUs, respectively, were withheld by the Company as a result of net share settlements to settle minimum employee tax withholding obligations and for which the Company paid $7.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively, in minimum employee tax withholding obligations. These net share settlements had the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the vesting.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company granted 37,777 and 26,757 PSUs, respectively, that contain performance-based metrics in addition to a service condition. Compensation expense for PSUs is generally recognized over a three-year service period based upon the value determined using a combination of (i) the intrinsic value method for awards that contain a performance metric that represents a "performance condition" in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") and (ii) the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for awards that contain a "market condition" performance metric under ASC 718. Compensation expense for PSU awards that contain a market condition is fixed at the date of grant and will not be adjusted in future periods based upon the achievement of the market condition. Compensation expense for PSU awards with a performance condition is recorded each period based upon a probability assessment of the expected outcome of the performance metric with a final adjustment upon measurement at the end of the performance period.

As of September 30, 2025, unamortized stock-based compensation expense for unvested RSUs and PSUs was $34.1 million with a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 1.3 years.


9. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding dilution for potential common stock issuances. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, including shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs and stock option exercises using the treasury stock method, as determined under the if-converted method.
The computation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

10. Income Taxes
In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the estimated annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changes in facts and circumstances, if any, compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and at each interim period thereafter.

The provision for income taxes reflected U.S. federal, state and local taxes at an estimated effective tax rate of 27.0% and 24.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The higher estimated effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to a change in valuation allowances in the current year related to the tax effects of lower realized and unrealized gains on Company investments compared to the prior year.

On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company will continue to evaluate the potential impact of the OBBBA on future periods as further guidance becomes available; however, the Company does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


11. Debt
Credit Agreement
On September 26, 2025, the Company refinanced its existing credit agreement by entering into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $400.0 million term loan for the Company with a seven-year term (the "Term Loan") expiring in September 2032, and (ii) a $250.0 million revolving credit facility with a five-year term expiring in September 2030. A portion of the proceeds of the refinancing have been used to repay the $234.7 million outstanding on the previous term loan. The Company has the right, subject to customary conditions specified in the Credit Agreement, to request additional revolving credit facility commitments and additional term loans to be made under the Credit Agreement. In accordance with ASC 835, Interest, the amounts outstanding under the Company's Term Loan are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets net of related debt issuance costs, which were $9.4 million as of September 30, 2025.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of the Company, either Term SOFR for interest periods of one, three or six months or an alternate base rate, in either case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins are 2.25%, in the case of a SOFR-based Term Loan, and 1.25%, in the case of an alternate base rate loan. The Company is also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the average unused amount of the revolving credit facility which ranges from 0.15% to 0.25%, based on the secured net leverage ratio of the Company as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter.

The Term Loan will amortize at the rate of 1.00% per annum, payable in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December (commencing on December 31, 2025), based on the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan's outstanding balance on the closing date. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the term loans be mandatorily prepaid with excess cash flow each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026 if the secured net leverage ratio at the end of such excess cash flow period is (a) greater than 3:1, 50%, (b) greater than or equal to 2.5:1 but less than or equal to 3:1, 25%, and (c) less than 2.5:1, 0%, (d) 50% of the net proceeds of certain asset sales, casualty or condemnation events, subject to customary reinvestment rights; and (e) 100% of the proceeds of any indebtedness incurred to refinance the term loans or other refinancing indebtedness as well as indebtedness incurred other than indebtedness

Table of Contents
permitted to be incurred by the Credit Agreement. At any time, upon timely notice, the Company may terminate the Credit Agreement in full, reduce the commitment under the facility in minimum specified increments or prepay loans in whole or in part, and in the case of any term loans that are prepaid in connection with a “repricing transaction” occurring within the six-month period following the closing date of the Credit Agreement, a 1.00% premium.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that affect, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, merge or dissolve, make investments, dispose of assets, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, make distributions and dividends and prepayments of junior indebtedness, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into restrictive agreements, amend documentation governing junior indebtedness, modify its fiscal year and modify its organizational documents, subject to customary exceptions, thresholds and qualifications. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a financial performance covenant that is only applicable when greater than 35% of the revolving credit facility is outstanding, requiring a maximum leverage ratio, as of the last day of each of the four fiscal quarter periods, of no greater than the levels set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Future minimum Term Loan payments (exclusive of any mandatory excess cash flow repayments) as of September 30, 2025 were as follows:

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company is involved from time to time in litigation and arbitration, as well as examinations, inquiries and investigations by various regulatory bodies, involving its compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting its products and other activities.

The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. Based on information currently available, available insurance coverage, indemnities and established reserves, the Company believes that the outcomes of its legal and regulatory proceedings are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or consolidated financial condition. However, in the event of unexpected subsequent developments, and given the inherent unpredictability of these legal and regulatory matters, the Company can provide no assurance that its assessment of any legal matter will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.


13. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Redeemable noncontrolling interests
Minority interests held in a majority-owned investment management subsidiary are subject to holder put rights and Company call rights at pre-established multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and, as such, are considered redeemable at other than fair value. The rights are exercisable at pre-established intervals or upon certain conditions, such as retirement. The put and call rights are not legally detachable or separately exercisable and are deemed to be embedded in the related noncontrolling interests. The Company, in purchasing equity of the investment management subsidiary, has the option to settle in cash or shares of the Company's common stock and is entitled to the cash flow associated

with any purchased equity. The minority interests are recorded at estimated redemption value within redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and any changes in the estimated redemption value are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within noncontrolling interests.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included the following amounts:

Equity awards of majority owned investment management subsidiary
The Company also issues equity-based profit-interest awards of a majority owned investment manager to certain of its employees, with certain awards having up to a three-year vesting period when issued. These profit-interest awards are subject to holder put rights and Company call rights at established multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, with certain awards also subject to pre-established thresholds. The awards are accounted for as cash-settled liability awards under ASC 718, with changes in value at each reporting date recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, if any, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The awards are classified as a liability within accrued compensation and benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the awards are settled. Additionally, these awards have a right to participate in distributions of the investment manager which are recorded as employment expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accrued compensation associated with these awards was $16.5 million and $19.4 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Compensation expense related to these awards totaled $(1.4) million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.


14. Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and investment products that are consolidated. A voting interest entity ("VOE") is consolidated when the Company is considered to have a controlling financial interest, which is typically present when the Company owns a majority of the voting interest in an entity or otherwise has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity.

The Company evaluates any variable interest entity ("VIE") in which the Company has a variable interest for consolidation. A VIE is an entity in which either (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support, or (ii) where, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk do not possess any one of the following: (a) the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity, or (c) proportionate voting and economic interests and where substantially all of the entity's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights. If an entity has any of these characteristics, it is considered a VIE and is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

In the normal course of its business, the Company sponsors various investment products, some of which are consolidated by the Company. CIP includes both VOEs, made up primarily of U.S. retail funds and ETFs in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest, and VIEs, which consist of collateralized loan obligations ("CLO") and certain global and private funds ("GF") of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The consolidation and deconsolidation of these investment products have no impact on the Company's net income (loss). The Company's risk with respect to these
14

Table of Contents
investment products is limited to its beneficial interests in these products. The Company has no right to the benefits from, and does not bear the risks associated with, these investment products beyond the Company's investments in, and fees generated from, these products.

Consolidated CLOs
The majority of the Company's CIP that are VIEs are CLOs. A majority-owned consolidated private fund, whose primary purpose is to invest in CLOs for which the Company serves as the collateral manager, is also included. At September 30, 2025, the Company consolidated seven CLOs. On September 12, 2025, the Company issued a new CLO and in conjunction with the issuance, made a $29.7 million investment in the subordinated notes. The financial information of CLOs is included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements on a one-month lag based upon the availability of their financial information.

Investments of CLOs
The CLOs held investments of $2.1 billion at September 30, 2025, consisting of bank loan investments that comprise the majority of the CLOs' portfolio asset collateral and are senior secured corporate loans across a variety of industries. These bank loan investments mature at various dates between 2025 and 2033 and generally pay interest at SOFR plus a spread.

Notes Payable of CLOs
The CLOs held notes payable with a total value, at par, of $2.3 billion at September 30, 2025, consisting of senior secured floating rate notes payable with a par value of $2.0 billion and subordinated notes with a par value of $238.8 million. These note obligations bear interest at variable rates based on SOFR plus a pre-defined spread.

The Company's beneficial interests and maximum exposure to loss related to these consolidated CLOs is limited to (i) ownership in the subordinated notes and (ii) accrued management fees. The secured notes of the consolidated CLOs have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CLO and are classified as financial liabilities. Although these beneficial interests are eliminated upon consolidation, the application of the measurement alternative prescribed by ASU 2014-13, Consolidation (Topic 810) ("ASU 2014-13"), results in the net assets of the consolidated CLOs shown above to be equivalent to the beneficial interests retained by the Company at September 30, 2025, as shown in the table below:

The following is a discussion of the valuation methodologies used for the assets and liabilities of the Company’s CIP measured at fair value:

Level 1 assets represent cash investments in money market funds and debt and equity investments that are valued using published net asset values or the official closing price on the exchange on which the securities are traded.

Level 2 assets represent most debt securities (including bank loans) and certain equity securities (including non-U.S. securities), for which closing prices are not readily available or are deemed to not reflect readily available market prices, and are valued using an independent pricing service. Debt investments, other than bank loans, are valued based on quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. Bank loan investments, which are included as debt investments, are generally priced at the average mid-point of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third-party pricing service. Fair value may also be based upon valuations obtained from independent third-party brokers or dealers utilizing matrix pricing models that consider information regarding securities with similar characteristics.

Level 3 assets include debt and equity securities that are not widely traded, are illiquid or are priced by dealers based on pricing models used by market makers in the security. These securities are valued using unadjusted prices from an independent pricing service.

Level 1 liabilities consist of short sales transactions in which a security is sold that is not owned or is owned but there is no intention to deliver, in anticipation that the price of the security will decline. Short sales are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within other liabilities of CIP and are classified as Level 1 based on the underlying equity security.

Level 2 liabilities consist of notes payable issued by CLOs and are measured using the measurement alternative in ASU 2014-13. Accordingly, the fair value of CLO liabilities was measured as the fair value of CLO assets less the sum of (i) the fair value of the beneficial interests held by the Company, and (ii) the carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. The fair value of the beneficial interests held by the Company is based on third-party pricing information without adjustment.

The securities purchased payable at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

Transfers in and/or out of levels are reflected when significant inputs, including market inputs or performance attributes, used for the fair value measurement become observable/unobservable at period end.

Nonconsolidated VIEs
The Company serves as the collateral manager for other CLOs that are not consolidated. The assets and liabilities of these CLOs reside in bankruptcy remote, special purpose entities in which the Company has no ownership of, nor holds any notes issued by, the CLOs, and provides neither recourse nor guarantees. The Company has determined that the investment management fees it receives for serving as collateral manager for these CLOs did not represent a variable interest as (i) the fees the Company earns are compensation for services provided and are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide the investment management services, (ii) the Company does not hold other interests in the CLOs that individually, or in the aggregate, would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the CLOs' expected losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the CLOs' expected residual return, and (iii) the investment management arrangement only includes terms, conditions and amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm's length.

The Company has interests in certain other VIEs that the Company does not consolidate as it is not the primary beneficiary since its interest in these entities does not provide the Company with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities' economic performance. At September 30, 2025, the carrying value and maximum risk of loss related to the Company's interest in these VIEs was $25.8 million.


15. Segments
The key GAAP measure of segment profit or loss that the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") uses to evaluate the Company’s financial performance and allocate resources of the Company is net income, as reported on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, the CODM uses net income in deciding whether to reinvest profits or allocate profits to other uses of capital, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends. All expense categories on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are significant and there are no other significant segment expenses that would require disclosure. Assets provided to the CODM are consistent with those reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Average fees earned represent investment management fees, net of revenue-related adjustments, and excluding the impact of consolidated investment products ("CIP") divided by average net assets. Revenue-related adjustments are based on specific agreements and reflect the portion of investment management fees passed-through to third-party client intermediaries for services to investors in sponsored investment products. Fund fees are calculated based on average daily or

weekly net assets. Retail separate account fees, which include wealth management accounts, are calculated based on the end of the preceding or current quarter’s asset values or on an average of month-end balances. Institutional account fees are calculated based on an average of month-end balances, an average of current quarter’s asset values or on a combination of the underlying cash flows and the principal value of the product. Average fees earned will vary based on several factors, including the asset mix and expense reimbursements to the funds.

The average fee rate earned decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to a shift in the asset mix in our open-end funds to certain strategies, which have a lower fee rate, partially offset by an increase in average fee rates of our institutional accounts due to the redemptions of lower fee earning assets.

Uses of Capital
Our operating expenses consist of employee compensation and related benefit costs and other operating expenses, which primarily consist of costs related to distribution, investment research and data, occupancy, software application and development and professional fees, as well as interest on our indebtedness and income taxes. Annual incentive compensation, our largest annual operating cash expenditure, is paid in the first quarter of the year. In 2025 and 2024, we paid $158.4 million and $146.1 million, respectively, in incentive compensation earned during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In addition to operating activities, other uses of cash could include: (i) investments in organic growth, including seeding or launching new products and expanding distribution; (ii) debt principal payments through scheduled amortization or additional paydowns; (iii) dividend payments to common stockholders; (iv) repurchases of our common stock, or withholding obligations for the net settlement of employee share transactions; (v) investments in our technology infrastructure; (vi) investments in inorganic growth opportunities that may require upfront and/or future payments; (vii) integration costs, including restructuring and severance, related to acquisitions, if any; and (viii) purchases of our investment management subsidiary equity interests.

Capital and Reserve Requirements
Certain of our subsidiaries are registered with the SEC, Central Bank of Ireland, Financial Conduct Authority or other regulators that subject them to certain rules regarding minimum net capital. Failure to meet these requirements could result in adverse consequences to us, including additional reporting requirements, or interruption of our business. At September 30, 2025, these subsidiaries were in compliance with all minimum net capital requirements.

Balance Sheet

Net cash provided by operating activities of $180.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $75.7 million from net cash provided by operating activities of $104.6 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase of $78.0 million in net sales of investments by CIP in the current year period.

Net cash used in investing activities of $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $0.6 million from net cash used in investing activities of $4.8 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to increased capital expenditures in the current year period.

Net cash used in financing activities of $114.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $15.3 million from net cash used of $129.5 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $179.0 million increase in net borrowings as a result of the refinancing of our credit facility partially offset by $136.4 million decrease in net borrowings of CIP and a $17.6 million increase in repurchases of our common shares during the current year period.

Credit Agreement
On September 26, 2025, the Company refinanced its existing credit agreement by entering into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).

A portion of the proceeds of the refinancing have been used to repay the $234.7 million outstanding on the previous term loan. The Company has the right, subject to customary conditions specified in the Credit Agreement, to request additional revolving credit facility commitments and additional term loans to be made under the Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2025, $400.0 million was outstanding under the Term Loan, and there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
