Supplemental slides for the fourth quarter of 2025, titled “4Q25 Earnings Call Presentation,” are available on the MetLife Investor Relations website at https://investor.metlife.com and in the Form 8-K furnished by MetLife to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with this earnings release. Supplemental information about MetLife’s diversified global investment portfolio is contained in the “4Q25 – General Account Assets Under Management Fact Sheet,” available on the above-mentioned website. Additionally, further information is available under the heading “Consolidated Company Outlook” in Item 8.01 of the Form 8-K.

Total Company Discussion

MetLife reported fourth quarter 2025 premiums, fees and other revenues of $18.7 billion, up 29 percent compared with the prior-year quarter. Adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding pension risk transfers, were $12.8 billion, up 8 percent.

Net investment income was $5.9 billion, up 10 percent, primarily due to higher variable investment income and increases in the estimated fair value of certain securities that do not qualify as separate accounts under GAAP. Adjusted net investment income was $5.6 billion, up 5 percent, mainly driven by higher variable investment income.

Net investment losses were $160 million, or $126 million after tax, reflecting normal trading activity and a stable credit environment. Net derivative losses amounted to $646 million, or $510 million after tax, due to higher long-term interest rates, stronger equity markets and strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

Net income decreased 37 percent to $778 million. Net derivative losses and net investment losses were the primary drivers, partially offset by market risk benefit remeasurement gains and higher adjusted earnings. On a per-share basis, net income decreased 34 percent to $1.17.

Adjusted earnings were $1.6 billion, up 13 percent on a reported basis and 12 percent on a constant currency basis. On a per-share basis, adjusted earnings were $2.49, up 19 percent.

MetLife’s direct expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses and PRT, was 11.6 percent in the fourth quarter and 11.7 percent for the full year, compared to 13.1 percent in the prior-year quarter and 12.1 percent for the full year 2024.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis because we believe it is not possible without unreasonable effort to provide other than a range of net investment gains and losses and net derivative gains and losses, which can fluctuate significantly within or outside the range and from period to period and may have a material impact on net income.

Any of these financial measures shown on a constant currency basis reflect the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are calculated using the average foreign currency exchange rates for the current period and applied to the comparable prior period (“constant currency basis”).

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this earnings news release and in this period’s quarterly financial supplement, which is available at MetLife’s Investor Relations webpage (https://investor.metlife.com).

MetLife’s definitions of non-GAAP and other financial measures discussed in this news release may differ from those used by other companies:

Adjusted earnings and related measures

  • adjusted earnings;

  • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders;

  • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, on a constant currency basis;

  • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items;

  • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, on a constant currency basis;

  • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share;

  • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, on a constant currency basis per diluted common share;

  • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items per diluted common share; and

  • adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, on a constant currency basis per diluted common share.

Adjusted earnings is used by MetLife’s chief operating decision maker, its chief executive officer, to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Consistent with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, adjusted earnings is MetLife’s GAAP measure of segment performance. Adjusted earnings and related measures based on adjusted earnings are also the measures by which senior management’s and many other employees’ performance is evaluated for the purposes of determining their compensation under applicable compensation plans. Adjusted earnings and related measures based on adjusted earnings allow analysis of MetLife’s performance relative to its business plan and facilitate comparisons to industry results.

Adjusted earnings is defined as adjusted revenues less adjusted expenses, net of income tax. Adjusted earnings available to common shareholders is defined as adjusted earnings less preferred stock dividends.

Adjusted earnings, along with the related adjusted revenues, adjusted expenses and adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, focus on our primary businesses principally by excluding the impact of (i) market volatility which could distort trends, (ii) asymmetrical and non-economic accounting, (iii) revenues and costs related to divested businesses, and (iv) other adjustments. Also, adjusted earnings and related measures exclude results of discontinued operations under GAAP.

Market volatility can have a significant impact on MetLife’s financial results. Adjusted earnings excludes net investment gains (losses), net derivative gains (losses), market risk benefit remeasurement gains (losses) and goodwill impairments. Further, net investment income is adjusted to exclude similar items relating to joint ventures accounted for under the equity method (“Joint venture adjustments”), and policyholder benefits and claims exclude (i) changes in the discount rate on certain annuitization guarantees accounted for as additional liabilities and (ii) market value adjustments.

Asymmetrical and non-economic accounting adjustments are made in calculating adjusted earnings:

  • Universal life and investment-type product policy fees exclude asymmetrical accounting associated with in-force reinsurance.

  • Net investment income includes earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of investments or that are used to replicate certain investments, but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (“Investment hedge adjustments”).

  • Other revenues include settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges and exclude asymmetrical accounting associated with in-force reinsurance.

  • Policyholder benefits and claims excludes (i) inflation-indexed benefit adjustments associated with contracts backed by inflation-indexed investments, (ii) asymmetrical accounting associated with in-force reinsurance, and (iii) non-economic losses incurred at contract inception for certain single premium annuity business. These losses are amortized into adjusted earnings within policyholder benefits and claims over the estimated lives of the contracts.

  • Policyholder liability remeasurement gains (losses) excludes asymmetrical accounting associated with in-force reinsurance.

  • Interest credited to policyholder account balances excludes amounts associated with periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets and other pass-through adjustments and asymmetrical accounting associated with in-force reinsurance.

“Divested businesses” are those that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife but do not meet the discontinued operations criteria under GAAP. Divested businesses also include the net impact of transactions with exited businesses that have been eliminated in consolidation under GAAP and costs relating to businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife that do not meet the criteria to be included in results of discontinued operations under GAAP.

Other adjustments are made in calculating adjusted earnings:

  • Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, net investment income excludes depreciation of wholly-owned real estate and real estate joint ventures.

  • Net investment income and interest credited to policyholder account balances exclude certain amounts related to contractholder-directed equity securities (“Unit-linked contract income” and “Unit-linked contract costs”).

  • Net investment income and other expenses exclude Reinsurance activity (as defined below).

  • Net investment income and interest expense on debt exclude amounts related to collateralized financing entities that are consolidated variable interest entities.

  • Other revenues include fee revenue on synthetic guaranteed interest contracts (“GICs”) accounted for as freestanding derivatives.

  • Other expenses exclude (i) amortization and impairment of asset management intangible assets, (ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements and other costs, and (iii) acquisition, integration and other related costs. Other expenses include (i) deductions for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests, and (ii) benefits accrued on synthetic GICs accounted for as freestanding derivatives.

  • “Reinsurance activity” relates to amounts subject to ceded reinsurance arrangements with third parties and joint ventures, including (i) the related investment returns and expenses which are passed through to the reinsurers and (ii) the corresponding invested assets and cash and cash equivalents.

Adjusted earnings also excludes the recognition of certain contingent assets and liabilities that could not be recognized at acquisition or adjusted for during the measurement period under GAAP business combination accounting guidance.

The tax impact of the adjustments mentioned above are calculated net of the U.S. or foreign statutory tax rate, which could differ from MetLife’s effective tax rate. Additionally, the provision for income tax (expense) benefit also includes the impact related to the timing of certain tax credits, as well as certain tax reforms.

In addition, adjusted earnings available to common shareholders excludes the impact of preferred stock redemption premium, which is reported as a reduction to net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders.

Investment portfolio gains (losses) and derivative gains (losses)

These are measures of investment and hedging activity. Investment portfolio gains (losses) principally excludes amounts that are reported within net investment gains (losses) but do not relate to the performance of the investment portfolio, such as gains (losses) on sales and divestitures of businesses, as well as investment portfolio gains (losses) of divested businesses. Derivative gains (losses) principally excludes earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives, where such derivatives are either hedges of investments or are used to replicate certain investments, and where such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting. This earned income and amortization of premium is reported within adjusted earnings and not within derivative gains (losses).

Return on equity and related measures

  • Total MetLife, Inc.’s adjusted common stockholders’ equity: total MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity, excluding unrealized investment gains (losses), net of related offsets, deferred gains (losses) on derivatives, future policy benefits discount rate remeasurement gains (losses), market risk benefits instrument-specific credit risk remeasurement gains (losses) and defined benefit plans adjustment components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and the estimated fair value of certain ceded reinsurance-related embedded derivatives, all net of income tax.
  • Total MetLife, Inc.’s adjusted common stockholders’ equity, excluding total notable items: total MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity, excluding unrealized investment gains (losses), net of related offsets, deferred gains (losses) on derivatives, future policy benefits discount rate remeasurement gains (losses), market risk benefits instrument-specific credit risk remeasurement gains (losses) and defined benefit plans adjustment components of AOCI, the estimated fair value of certain ceded reinsurance-related embedded derivatives and total notable items, all net of income tax.
  • Return on MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity: net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders divided by MetLife, Inc.’s average common stockholders’ equity.
  • Adjusted return on MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity: adjusted earnings available to common shareholders divided by MetLife, Inc.’s average adjusted common stockholders’ equity.
  • Adjusted return on MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity, excluding total notable items: adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, divided by MetLife, Inc.’s average adjusted common stockholders’ equity, excluding total notable items.

The above measures represent a level of equity that excludes most components of AOCI, such as unrealized investment gains (losses), net of related offsets, and future policy benefits discount rate remeasurement gains (losses), as well as the impact of certain ceded reinsurance-related embedded derivatives, as these amounts are primarily driven by market volatility.

Expense ratio, direct expense ratio, adjusted expense ratio and related measures

  • Expense ratio: other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC, divided by premiums, fees and other revenues.
  • Direct expense ratio: direct expenses divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues. Direct expenses are comprised of employee-related costs, third-party staffing costs, and general and administrative expenses.
  • Direct expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses and PRT: direct expenses, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding PRT.
  • Adjusted expense ratio: adjusted other expenses, net of adjusted capitalization of DAC, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues.
  • Adjusted expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to adjusted other expenses and PRT: adjusted other expenses, net of adjusted capitalization of DAC, excluding total notable items related to adjusted other expenses, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding PRT.

Assets Under Management (AUM):

  • Total Assets Under Management (“Total AUM”) is comprised of MIM GA AUM plus Institutional Client AUM (each, as defined below).
  • MIM General Account AUM (“MIM GA AUM”) is used by MetLife to describe the portion of GA AUM (as defined below) that MetLife Investment Management, LLC and certain of its affiliates (“MIM”) manages or advises.
  • General Account AUM (“GA AUM”) is used by MetLife to describe assets in its general account (“GA”) investment portfolio. GA AUM is stated at estimated fair value and is comprised of GA total investments, the portion of the GA investment portfolio classified within assets held-for-sale, cash and cash equivalents, and accrued investment income on such assets, and excludes policy loans, certain contractholder-directed equity securities, fair value option securities, mortgage loans originated for third parties, assets subject to ceded reinsurance arrangements with third parties and joint ventures, and certain other invested assets. Mortgage loans and real estate and real estate joint ventures included in GA AUM (at net asset value, net of deduction for encumbering debt) have been adjusted from carrying value to estimated fair value. Classification of GA AUM by sector is based on the nature and characteristics of the underlying investments which can vary from how they are classified under GAAP. Accordingly, the underlying investments within certain real estate and real estate joint ventures that are primarily commercial mortgage loans (at net asset value, net of deduction for encumbering debt) have been reclassified to exclude them from real estate and real estate joint ventures and include them as commercial mortgage loans.
  • Institutional Client AUM is comprised of SA AUM plus Reinsurance AUM plus TP AUM (each, as defined below). MIM manages or advises Institutional Client AUM in accordance with client guidelines contained in each investment advisory agreement.
    • Separate Account AUM (“SA AUM”) is comprised of separate account investment portfolios, which are managed or advised by MIM and included in MetLife, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements at estimated fair value, as well as accrued investment income on such assets.
    • Reinsurance AUM is comprised of GA assets subject to ceded reinsurance arrangements with third parties and joint ventures, which are managed or advised by MIM and are generally included in MetLife, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements at estimated fair value, as well as accrued investment income on such assets.
    • Third-Party AUM (“TP AUM”) is comprised of non-proprietary assets managed or advised by MIM on behalf of unaffiliated/third-party clients, which are stated at estimated fair value, as well as accrued investment income on such assets. Such non-proprietary assets are owned by unaffiliated/third-party clients and, accordingly, are generally not included in MetLife, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements.
  • Asia General Account AUM (“Asia GA AUM”) is used by MetLife to describe assets in its Asia GA investment portfolio. Asia GA AUM is stated at estimated fair value and is comprised of Asia GA total investments, the portion of the Asia GA investment portfolio classified within assets held-for-sale, cash and cash equivalents, and accrued investment income on such assets, and excludes policy loans, certain contractholder-directed equity securities, fair value option securities, mortgage loans originated for third parties, assets subject to ceded reinsurance arrangements with third parties and joint ventures, and certain other invested assets. Mortgage loans and real estate and real estate joint ventures included in Asia GA AUM (at net asset value, net of deduction for encumbering debt) have been adjusted from carrying value to estimated fair value. At the segment level, intersegment balances (intercompany activity, primarily related to investments in subsidiaries, that eliminate at the MetLife consolidated level) are excluded from Asia GA AUM.

    Asia GA AUM (at amortized cost) excludes the following adjustments: (i) unrealized gain (loss) on investments carried at estimated fair value and (ii) adjustments from carrying value to estimated fair value on mortgage loans and real estate and real estate joint ventures. Asia GA AUM (at amortized cost) is presented net of related allowance for credit loss.

Other items

The following additional information is relevant to an understanding of MetLife’s performance:

  • Statistical sales information:

    • Group Benefits: calculated using 10% of single premium deposits and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees from recurring premium policy sales of all products.

    • RIS: calculated using 10% of single premium contracts, on and off-balance sheet deposits, and the contract value for new U.K. longevity reinsurance contracts, and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees only from recurring premium policy sales of specialized benefit resources and corporate-owned life insurance.

    • Asia, Latin America and EMEA: calculated using 10% of single premium deposits (mainly from retirement products such as variable annuity, fixed annuity and pensions), 20% of single premium deposits from credit insurance and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees from recurring-premium policy sales of all products (mainly from risk and protection products such as individual life, accident & health and group).

      Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, but are used as relevant measures of business activity.

  • Volume growth, where cited, represents the change in certain measures of our segment results, including adjusted earnings, attributable to business growth, applying a model in which certain margins and factors are held constant, the most significant of which are underwriting margins, investment margins, changes in equity market performance, expense margins and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

  • PRT includes U.K. funded reinsurance.

  • Institutional net flows reflect Institutional Client AUM total fund additions less withdrawals.

  • “Third-party mortgage loan activity” relates to amounts associated with mortgage loans originated and acquired for third parties, including (i) the related investment returns and expenses which are passed through to the third-party lenders and (ii) the corresponding mortgage loan assets.

  • We refer to observable forward yield curves as of a particular date in connection with making our estimates for future results. The observable forward yield curves at a given time are based on implied future interest rates along a range of interest rate durations. This includes the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate which we use as a benchmark rate to describe longer-term interest rates used in our estimates for future results.

  • Notable items reflect the unexpected impact of events that affect MetLife’s results, but that were unknown and that MetLife could not anticipate when it devised its business plan. Notable items also include certain items regardless of the extent anticipated in the business plan, to help investors have a better understanding of MetLife’s results and to evaluate and forecast those results. Notable items represent a positive (negative) impact to adjusted earnings available to common shareholders.

  • Holding company cash and liquid assets are held by MetLife, Inc. collectively with other MetLife holding companies and include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and publicly traded securities excluding assets that are pledged or otherwise committed. Assets pledged or otherwise committed include amounts received in connection with securities lending, repurchase agreements, derivatives, regulatory deposits, the collateral financing arrangement, funding agreements and secured borrowings, as well as amounts held in the closed block.

  • MetLife uses a measure of free cash flow to facilitate an understanding of its ability to generate cash for reinvestment into its businesses or use in non-mandatory capital actions. MetLife defines free cash flow as the sum of cash available at MetLife’s holding companies from dividends from operating subsidiaries, expenses and other net flows of the holding companies (including capital contributions to subsidiaries), and net contributions from debt to be at or below target leverage ratios. This measure of free cash flow is prior to capital actions, such as common stock dividends and repurchases, debt reduction and mergers and acquisitions. Free cash flow should not be viewed as a substitute for net cash provided by (used in) operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP. The free cash flow ratio is typically expressed as a percentage of annual adjusted earnings available to common shareholders.

Excluding these notable items from the denominator of the ratio, the adjusted free cash flow ratio for 2025, would be 82%.

ii) Consolidated adjusted earnings available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2024, was positively impacted by notable items, primarily related to tax adjustments of $0.1 billion, net of income tax, and actuarial assumption review and other insurance adjustments of $0.02 billion, net of income tax, offset by litigation reserves and settlement costs of ($0.05) billion, net of income tax.

Lucky Strike Entertainment Reports Second Quarter Results for Fiscal Year 2026

Lucky Strike Entertainment Reports Second Quarter Results for Fiscal Year 2026

RICHMOND, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Lucky Strike Entertainment (NYSE: LUCK), one of the world’s premier owner/operators of location-based entertainment, today provided financial results for the second quarter of the 2026 fiscal year, which ended on December 28, 2025.

Quarter Highlights:

  • Total revenue increased 2.3% to $306.9 million from $300.1 million in the previous year
  • Same Store Revenue increased 0.3% versus the prior year
  • Net loss of $12.7 million versus prior year net income of $28.3 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $77.5 million versus $98.8 million in the prior year
  • From September 29, 2025 through February 4, 2026, we acquired one water park. Total locations in operation as of February 4, 2026 is 369, which reflects the closure of an unprofitable location
  • Continued progress on Lucky Strike rebrand initiative with 98 current Lucky Strike locations

“We delivered positive same-center sales growth this quarter, marking a clear inflection point for the business,” said Thomas Shannon, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Lucky Strike Entertainment. “Performance was driven by sustained strength in walk-in retail and league play, increased marketing investment to expand brand awareness and build momentum for the remainder of the year, and meaningful progress rebuilding our Events business. Same store Event sales turned positive in January 2026 for the first time in nearly two years — a trend that has carried into February — reinforcing improving demand and stronger execution across the portfolio.”

“While investments during the quarter supported top-line momentum, we have taken decisive action to align growth with profitability and cash flow generation. Disciplined capital allocation has materially reduced both maintenance and growth capital expenditures over the past 18 months, strengthening free cash flow. Looking ahead, we remain focused on profitable same-center growth, margin expansion, and returns-driven investment, and we expect significant margin expansion this summer as our non-bowling entertainment assets enter their peak seasons.”

Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance

The Company is reaffirming fiscal year 2026 guidance provided on August 28, 2025. We remain focused on delivering profitable growth by driving revenues, expanding operating cash flow, and increasing free cash flow – including FCF/share. Our outlook reflects attractive growth supported by organic operating leverage and increased investment in high-ROI, revenue-generating initiatives. Additionally, recent acquisitions typically take 12-18 months to achieve our company-wide margins. The Company’s fiscal year 2026 performance guidance is presented below.

Total Revenue Growth:

5% to 9%

Total Revenue:

$1,260M to $1,310M

Adjusted EBITDA:

$375M to $415M

Common Stock Dividend

On February 3, the Board of Directors of Lucky Strike Entertainment declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per common share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. The dividend will be payable on March 6, 2026, to stockholders of record on February 20, 2026.

Forward Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risk, assumptions, and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, and forecasts. These forward-looking statements reflect our views with respect to future events as of the date of this release and are based on our management’s current expectations, estimates, forecasts, projections, assumptions, beliefs, and information. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct. All such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and could cause future events or results to be materially different from those stated or implied in this document. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. These risks include, but are not limited to: our ability to design and execute our business strategy; changes in consumer preferences and buying patterns; our ability to compete in our markets; the occurrence of unfavorable publicity; risks associated with long-term non-cancellable leases for our locations; our ability to retain key managers; risks associated with our substantial indebtedness and limitations on future sources of liquidity; our ability to carry out our expansion plans; our ability to successfully defend litigation brought against us; failure to hire and retain qualified employees and personnel; cybersecurity breaches, cyber-attacks and other interruptions to our and our third-party service providers’ technological and physical infrastructures; catastrophic events, including war, terrorism and other conflicts; public health emergencies and pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or natural catastrophes and accidents; fluctuations in our operating results; economic conditions, including the impact of increasing interest rates, inflation and recession; and other factors described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company on August 28, 2025, as well as other filings that the Company will make, or has made, with the SEC, such as Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this press release and in other filings. We expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we disclose Same Store Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA as “non-GAAP measures”, which management believes provide useful information to investors because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period, and management relies on these measures for planning and forecasting of future periods. Additionally, these measures allow management to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue or net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Our fiscal year 2026 guidance measures (other than revenue) are provided on a non-GAAP basis without a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Such items include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, share-based compensation, and other items not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations.

Same Store Revenue represents total Revenue less Non-Location Related Revenue, Revenue from Closed Locations, Service Fee Revenue, if applicable, and Acquired Revenue. Adjusted EBITDA represents Net Income (Loss) before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, Impairment and Other Charges, Share-based Compensation, EBITDA from Closed Locations, Foreign Currency Exchange Loss (Gain), Asset Disposition Loss (Gain), Transactional and other advisory costs, changes in the value of earnouts, and other.

The Company considers Same Store Revenue as an important financial measure because it provides comparable revenue for locations open for the entire duration of both the current and comparable measurement periods.

The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA as an important financial measure because it provides a financial measure of the quality of the Company’s earnings. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which might limit its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management in addition to and in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA solely as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of results of operations and assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Great Elm Group Reports Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Financial Results


– Fee-Paying AUM



1



Grew 4% Year-Over-Year as of December 31, 2025 –


– Significant Unrealized Loss of $14.4 million and Realized Gain of $2.3 million on GEG’s Investments in the Quarter



2





– Monomoy BTS Substantially Completes Third Build-to-Suit Development Property –


– Repurchased Approximately 1.1 Million Shares, or Over 3% of Shares Outstanding –

Company to Host Conference Call at 8:30 a.m. ET on February 5, 2026

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 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 second quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Management Commentary

Jason Reese, Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “We continued to build momentum across our alternative asset management platform despite market headwinds during the quarter. While heightened volatility drove significant unrealized losses in our core portfolio investments and weighed on reported results, we remain focused on disciplined execution.

Against a challenging market backdrop for the BDC, GECC management took actions in the portfolio to position the platform for success, re-underwriting the entire portfolio and working deliberately to further diversify investments as well as optimizing the portfolio to improve overall credit quality. With significant liquidity, a healthy balance sheet, and a lower cost of capital, we believe GECC remains well-positioned to rebuild in calendar 2026.

During the quarter, we completed our third Monomoy build-to-suit project in Florida and commenced active marketing of the property. In addition, we repurchased more than one million shares of our common stock since the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026, underscoring our confidence in the business and our commitment to shareholder value.

Our CoreWeave-related investment continues to represent a compelling success despite significant market volatility during the quarter that contributed to our unrealized losses. We have received distributions on this investment to date well in excess of GEG’s original investment, and we continue to believe there is meaningful upside potential based on current trading levels. Looking ahead, we are focused on leveraging our balance sheet to find new investments as we grow our assets under management and fee revenue, and deliver sustained, long-term value for our shareholders.”

Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 and Recent Highlights

  • GEG’s fee-paying assets under management (“FPAUM”) and assets under management (“AUM”) totaled approximately $561 million and $740 million, respectively.1
    • FPAUM increase of 4% and AUM reduction of 2%, respectively, compared to the prior-year period.
  • Total revenue for the second quarter was $3.0 million, compared to $3.5 million for the prior-year period.
  • Net loss was $(16.5) million for the second quarter, compared to net income of $1.4 million in the prior-year period.
    • Decrease in net income primarily driven by $14.4 million in unrealized loss and $2.3 million in realized gain2 from GEG’s investments, consisting largely of unrealized losses relating to the Company’s investments in Great Elm Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: GECC) common stock, special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) related to GECC common stock, and a CoreWeave-related investment.
    • This compares to net unrealized gain on the Company’s investments in the prior-year period of $2.4 million3.
  • GEG recognized a realized gain of $2.2 million from its CoreWeave-related investment for the second quarter ended December 31, 2025.
    • To date, GEG has received distributions of $5.8 million in connection with its CoreWeave-related investment, well in excess of its $5 million original capital investment.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $(1.6) million, compared to $1.0 million in the prior-year period.
  • As of December 31, 2025, GEG had approximately $51.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet to support growth initiatives across its alternative asset management platform.
  • GEG repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares in the second quarter, or over 3% of shares outstanding, at an average price of $2.47 per share.
    • Through February 3, 2026, Great Elm repurchased approximately 6.4 million shares at an average price of $1.99 per share, equating to $12.7 million since the initiation of the stock repurchase program.

GEG Business Highlights

Alternative Credit

  • GEG received management fees from GECC of $1.2 million for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2025.
  • GECC paid $1.48 per share of dividends to shareholders for its year ended December 31, 2025.
  • GECC’s investment team undertook targeted portfolio reviews and credit optimization initiatives during the quarter, positioning the platform with a solid foundation as it enters calendar 2026.
  • In Great Elm’s private credit strategy, the Great Elm Credit Income Fund, launched in November 2023, began an orderly wind-down in response to recent portfolio events and market conditions.

Real Estate

  • Great Elm Real Estate Ventures (“Real Estate Ventures”), a new entity formed in connection with the KLIM strategic partnership, consolidates Great Elm’s three real estate subsidiaries under a single entity. These subsidiaries include:
    • Monomoy CRE, LLC, an asset manager, including manager of Monomoy REIT;
    • Monomoy BTS, Corp. (“MBTS”), a build-to-suit development arm; and
    • Monomoy Construction Services, LLC (“MCS”), a full-service procurement and construction manager.
  • Real Estate Ventures operates as a comprehensive, vertically-integrated real estate enterprise serving the Industrial Outdoor Storage, or “IOS,” sector.
  • MCRE received investment and property management fees of approximately $1.0 million, growing more than 15% from the prior-year period.
  • MBTS substantially completed its third build-to-suit development property, located in Florida.
  • MCS completed its third full quarter of operations, adding $0.4 million to total revenue for the fiscal second quarter.

Investments

  • Great Elm recorded a net realized and unrealized loss of $4.5 million from its CoreWeave-related investment during the fiscal second quarter of 2026, driven by market-based valuation changes.
    • Realized gain of $2.2 million partially offset an unrealized loss of $6.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
    • During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company received $3.0 million in distributions, including income, from the CoreWeave-related investment, bringing total distributions over the life of the investment to $5.8 million, or $0.8 million in excess of the original $5.0 million investment.
  • Unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in GECC common stock and SPVs related to GECC common stock, totaled $4.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Stock Repurchase Program

In the fiscal first quarter of 2026, GEG’s Board of Directors approved an incremental stock repurchase program under which GEG is authorized to repurchase up to $25 million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market. Through February 3, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 6.4 million shares for $12.7 million, at an average price of $1.99 per share, leaving approximately $12.3 million of remaining capacity under the program for future repurchases.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

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

1FPAUM and AUM figures are management estimates as of the dates presented and are based on internal data, methodologies, and assumptions that GEG believes to be reasonable. These amounts are subject to change.
2 Includes approximately $0.7 million of unrealized loss attributable to the Company’s investment in Consolidated Funds for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
3 Includes approximately $5 thousand of unrealized gain attributable to the Company’s investment in Consolidated Funds for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Highlights:

  • Reported Net Income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2025 of $1.25, compared to $4.00 in the fourth quarter of 2024. For the full-year 2025, the Company reported Net Income per diluted share of $10.40 compared to $11.54 in 2024. The year-over-year decline in fourth quarter and full-year 2025 Net Income per diluted share is largely attributable to gains on sale of real estate and land and gains on remeasurement of co-investments in the prior year period.

  • Grew Core FFO per diluted share by 1.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2.2% compared to the full-year 2024, exceeding the midpoint of the Company’s original full year guidance range. The outperformance was primarily driven by favorable same-property revenue growth.

  • Achieved both same-property revenue and net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 3.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. For the full-year 2025, same-property revenue and NOI grew 3.3% and 3.2%, respectively, both exceeding the midpoint of the Company’s original guidance range.

  • For the full-year 2025, the Company acquired seven apartment communities for a total contract price of $829.4 million and disposed of five apartment communities for a total pro rata contract price of $563.8 million.

  • For the full-year 2025, the Company received cash proceeds of $189.8 million from nine structured finance redemptions yielding a weighted average return rate of 9.8% and committed $21.3 million at pro rata share in an investment yielding a 13.5% return rate.

  • Issued $350.0 million of 10-year senior unsecured notes in the fourth quarter bearing an interest rate of 4.875% per annum and a yield to maturity of 4.988%.

  • As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s immediately available liquidity was over $1.7 billion.

FFO RECONCILIATION

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), is generally considered by industry analysts as an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. Generally, FFO adjusts the net income of equity REITs for non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization of rental properties, impairment charges, gains on sales of real estate and extraordinary items. Management considers FFO and FFO which excludes non-core items, which is referred to as “Core FFO,” to be useful supplemental operating performance measures of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash flows, FFO and Core FFO provide investors with additional bases to evaluate the operating performance and ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures and to pay dividends. By excluding gains or losses related to sales of depreciated operating properties and land and excluding real estate depreciation (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help investors compare the operating performance of a real estate company between periods or as compared to different companies. By further adjusting for items that are not considered part of the Company’s core business operations, Core FFO allows investors to compare the core operating performance of the Company to its performance in prior reporting periods and to the operating performance of other real estate companies without the effect of items that by their nature are not comparable from period to period and tend to obscure the Company’s actual operating results. FFO and Core FFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are not intended to indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of the REIT’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO and Core FFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all cash needs including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and Core FFO also do not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined under GAAP. Management has consistently applied the NAREIT definition of FFO to all periods presented. However, there is judgment involved and other REITs’ calculation of FFO may vary from the NAREIT definition for this measure, and thus their disclosures of FFO may not be comparable to the Company’s calculation.

NET OPERATING INCOME (“NOI”) AND SAME-PROPERTY NOI RECONCILIATIONS

NOI and Same-Property NOI are considered by management to be important supplemental performance measures to earnings from operations included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The presentation of same-property NOI assists with the presentation of the Company’s operations prior to the allocation of depreciation and any corporate-level or financing-related costs. NOI reflects the operating performance of a community and allows for an easy comparison of the operating performance of individual communities or groups of communities. In addition, because prospective buyers of real estate have different financing and overhead structures, with varying marginal impacts to overhead by acquiring real estate, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets. The Company defines same-property NOI as same-property revenue less same-property operating expenses, including property taxes. Please see the reconciliation of earnings from operations to NOI and same-property NOI, which in the table below is the NOI for stabilized properties consolidated by the Company for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Moelis & Company (NYSE:MC) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. The Firm’s fourth quarter revenues were $487.9 million and represented an increase of 11% from the prior year period. The Firm reported fourth quarter GAAP net income of $99.0 million, or $1.10 per share (diluted). On an Adjusted basis, the Firm reported net income of $97.6 million and $1.13 per share (diluted) for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared with net income of $99.0 million, or $1.18 per share (diluted), in the prior year period.

The Firm’s full year 2025 GAAP revenues were $1,516.8 million. On an Adjusted basis, the Firm’s full year 2025 revenues were $1,535.9 million and represented an increase of 28% from the prior year. The Firm reported full year 2025 GAAP net income of $259.6 million, or $2.94 per share (diluted). On an Adjusted basis, the Firm reported net income of $256.4 million, or $2.99 per share (diluted) for full year 2025, as compared with net income of $150.4 million, or $1.82 per share (diluted), in the prior year. GAAP and Adjusted net income in full year 2025 include a net tax benefit of approximately $0.28 per share (diluted) related to the settlement of share-based awards.

“Our 2025 performance reflects strong momentum across the Firm and the strongest coverage platform in our history. As we enter 2026, we are well positioned to drive growth and deliver long-term value for our clients, shareholders, and team,” said Navid Mahmoodzadegan, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder.

The Firm’s revenues and net income can fluctuate materially depending on the number, size and timing of completed transactions as well as other factors. Accordingly, financial results in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results over a longer period of time.

Currently 92% of the operating partnership (Moelis & Company Group LP) is owned by the corporate partner (Moelis & Company) and is subject to corporate U.S. federal and state income tax. The remaining 8% is owned by other partners of Moelis & Company Group LP and is primarily subject to U.S. federal tax at the partner level (certain state, local and foreign income taxes are incurred at the company level). The Adjusted results included herein apply certain adjustments from our GAAP results, including the assumption that 100% of the Firm’s operating result was taxed at our corporate effective tax rate. We believe the Adjusted results, when presented together with comparable GAAP results, are useful to investors to compare our performance across periods and to better understand our operating results. A reconciliation between our GAAP results and our Adjusted results is presented in the Appendix to this press release.

Revenues

We earned revenues of $487.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared with $438.7 million in the prior year period, representing an increase of 11%. The increase in fourth quarter revenues is attributable to an increase in average fees earned per completed transaction in M&A and Capital Markets, partially offset by a decline in Capital Structure Advisory, as compared with the prior year period.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we earned GAAP revenues of $1,516.8 million, as compared with $1,194.5 million in the prior year. On an Adjusted basis, we earned revenues of $1,535.9 million in full year 2025, as compared with $1,201.5 million in the prior year, representing an increase of 28%. The increase in revenues in full year 2025 is attributable to an increase in average fees earned per completed transaction in M&A and Capital Markets, partially offset by a decline in Capital Structure Advisory, as compared with the prior year period.

We continue to execute on our strategy of organic growth, and in early 2026 we promoted 13 advisory professionals to Managing Director. As of the date of this release, we have 178 Managing Directors on our platform. Additionally, one Managing Director focused on private credit secondaries will join our Private Capital Advisory team in the coming weeks.

Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis were $359.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $1,242.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. On an Adjusted basis, operating expenses were $358.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared with $306.5 million in the prior year period, and $1,234.3 million for the full year, as compared with $1,020.5 million in the prior year. The increase in operating expenses in the fourth quarter and full year 2025 is attributable to increased compensation and benefits expenses and non-compensation expenses as compared with the prior year periods.

Compensation and benefits expenses on a GAAP basis were $298.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $1,017.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. On an Adjusted basis, compensation and benefits expenses were $298.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared with $256.4 million in the prior year period, and $1,010.6 million for the full year, as compared with $829.0 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted compensation and benefits expenses during both current year periods is primarily attributable to a higher bonus expense accrual, as a result of higher revenues earned, and increased headcount, as compared with both prior year periods.

Non-compensation expenses on a GAAP basis were $61.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $225.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. On an Adjusted basis, non-compensation expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $60.4 million, as compared with $50.1 million in the prior year period. For full year 2025, Adjusted non-compensation expenses were $223.7 million, as compared with $191.4 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted non-compensation expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 is primarily attributable to increased deal-related travel and entertainment expenses, including client conferences, occupancy costs, and communication and technology expenses.

Other income on a GAAP basis was $10.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $53.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. On an Adjusted basis, other income was $10.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared with $5.6 million in the prior year period, and $28.9 million for the full year, as compared with $15.6 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted other income for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 is primarily attributable to higher net gains and income on financial assets.

In the third quarter of 2025, we recorded a gain of $19.1 million related to the sale of 5.0 million shares of our investment in MA Financial Group Limited. The gain of $19.1 million is included within Adjusted revenues and the adjustment did not impact our GAAP or Adjusted earnings per share.

Provision for Income Taxes

The corporate partner (Moelis & Company) currently owns 92% of the operating partnership (Moelis & Company Group LP) and is subject to corporate U.S. federal and state income tax on its allocable share of earnings. The remaining 8% of activity is subject to certain state, local and foreign income taxes (including New York City Unincorporated Business Tax), which is accounted for at the partner level through the noncontrolling interests. For Adjusted purposes, we have assumed that 100% of the Firm’s fourth quarter and full year 2025 operating results were taxed at our corporate effective tax rate of 30.1% and 22.4%, respectively, after taking into account the excess tax benefit of $24.3 million for the full year related to the delivery of equity-based compensation. Without the excess tax benefit of equity-based compensation, our effective corporate tax rate for the full year is 29.8%.

Capital Management and Balance Sheet

Moelis & Company continues to maintain a strong financial position, and as of December 31, 2025, we held cash and liquid investments of $848.8 million and had no debt or goodwill on our balance sheet.

The Board of Directors of Moelis & Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share. The $0.65 per share will be paid on March 26, 2026 to common stockholders of record on February 17, 2026. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares of our common stock on the open market at an average price of $62.96/share. In full year 2025, we repurchased approximately 0.9 million shares of our common stock on the open market at an average price of $64.31/share, for a total cost of $61.0 million. With respect to the 2025 performance year, we will have returned $283.6 million in capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

In order to continue to execute on our capital management strategy, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization of up to $300.0 million with no expiration date. There is $1.5 million remaining under the prior authorization.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, which reflect the Firm’s current views with respect to, among other things, its operations and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “target,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and estimates and subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, subsequent reports filed on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release. In addition, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The Firm undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). From time to time, the Company may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company are provided as additional information to analysts, investors and other stakeholders in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing our financial condition, operating results, or capital adequacy. Adjusted results are a non-GAAP financial measure which provide additional information on management’s view of operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we will also generally define it or present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable GAAP financial measure.

The Company’s Adjusted revenues includes amounts reflected within other income (expenses) which are considered the equivalent of revenues for compensation. Such adjustments may include gains on founder investments where our employees and the Moelis advisory platform contributed meaningfully to the value creation; or the mark-to-market impact of equity instruments held by the Company that were originally received as payment for our banking services and included in revenues. We believe these adjustments are useful to allow comparability of period-to-period operating performance and compensation levels.

The Company’s Adjusted compensation and benefits expenses may include adjustments reflected within other income (expenses) associated with compensation awards forfeited or returned to the Company by former employees. Management views the credits associated with such forfeitures as an offset to compensation and benefits expenses since the Firm will utilize the forfeited economics to recruit and or retain talent. We believe the netted presentation of forfeiture credits and compensation expenses is useful to allow comparability of period-to-period operating performance.

The Company’s Adjusted non-compensation expenses and other income (expenses) may exclude certain one-time items that reduce the comparability of our operating performance as well as the amounts related to revenues and compensation and benefits expenses discussed above and adjustments to our provision for income taxes discussed below. Such adjustments increase the comparability of our financial performance across reporting periods and versus our peers.

The Company’s Adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes is adjusted to illustrate the result as if 100% of the Firm’s income is being taxed at our corporate effective tax rates for the periods presented. Adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes periodically includes the tax impact related to the settlement of share-based awards, the reclassification of Tax Receivable liability adjustments, or adjustments to our deferred tax assets and liabilities that occur in connection with new tax legislation. Such adjustments increase the comparability of our financial performance across reporting periods and versus our peers.

The Company’s Adjusted basic and diluted shares of Class A common stock outstanding is presented for each period as if all outstanding Class A partnership units have been exchanged into Class A common stock. The Adjusted presentation helps analysts, investors, and other stakeholders understand the effect of the Firm’s ownership structure on its results, including the impact of all the Firm’s income becoming subject to corporate-level tax.

Our Adjusted tax provision excludes any benefits or costs related to the adjustment to the step-up in tax basis in Group LP assets and TRA liabilities in connection with past partnership unit exchanges; such adjustment for this period was a net expense of $0.3 million, which is not included in the corporate tax provision for the period presented.

Crown Castle Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results and Provides Outlook for Full Year 2026

HOUSTON, Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Crown Castle Inc. (NYSE: CCI) (“Crown Castle”) today reported results for the full year ended December 31, 2025 and issued its full year 2026 outlook, as reflected in the table below.

“Our full year 2025 results exceeded the midpoint of our guide across all key metrics,” stated Chris Hillabrant, Crown Castle’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “When excluding DISH revenues and the impact of Sprint Cancellations, our full year 2026 Outlook includes organic growth of 3.5%, which compares to 3.8% in full year 2025 on a comparable basis. As we work to close our Fiber Business sale in the first half of 2026, we are reducing our tower and corporate workforce by approximately 20%, which together with other cost reductions, will result in approximately $65 million in annualized operating cost savings. We are investing in our systems, streamlining our processes to enhance operational flexibility, and continuing to drive productivity and efficiency across the business. We are also reaffirming our capital allocation framework and remain committed to our dividend, which we expect to maintain at $4.25 per share on an annualized basis.”

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR

  • Site rental revenues. Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings was $193 million, or 4.9% organic growth from full year 2024, excluding an unfavorable $204 million impact from Sprint Cancellations. Site rental revenues were also negatively impacted by a $61 million decrease in amortization of prepaid rent and a $147 million decrease in straight-lined revenues, resulting in a decline in site rental revenues of $219 million, or 5.1% from full year 2024 to full year 2025. The following table outlines the components of Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings, excluding the impact of Sprint Cancellations, and the respective percentage of prior period site rental billings.
($ in millions; totals may not sum due to rounding)   Full Year 2025 Actual   Full Year 2024 Actual   Change % Change
Core leasing activity(a)   $118 3.0%   $110 2.9%   $8 0.1%
Escalators   $96 2.5%   $92 2.4%   $4 0.1%
Non-renewals(a)   $(27) (0.7)%   $(31) (0.8)%   $4 0.1%
Change in other billings(a)   $5 0.1%   $(2) —%   $7 0.1%
Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations(a)   $193 4.9%   $170 4.5%   $23 0.4%

(a) See “Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information” for our definitions of core leasing activity, non-renewals, other billings and Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations.
   
  • Net income (loss). Net income (loss) for the full year 2025 was $444 million compared to $(3.9) billion for full year 2024, reflecting a decrease in the loss from discontinued operations of $4.4 billion, primarily due to the absence of the $5.0 billion goodwill impairment charge recorded in 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA. Full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA was $2.9 billion compared to $3.0 billion for the full year 2024. The decrease in the year was primarily a result of the lower contribution from site rental revenues, as discussed above, partially offset by a $18 million increase in services contribution, and a $52 million decrease in selling, general, and administrative costs primarily driven by the absence of advisory fees incurred during full year 2024 and the reduction in staffing levels and office closures announced in June 2024.
  • AFFO and AFFO per share. Full year 2025 AFFO was $1.9 billion, or $4.36 per share, representing a 4% decrease from full year 2024.
  • Capital expenditures. Capital expenditures from continuing operations during the year were $182 million, comprised of $149 million of discretionary capital expenditures and $33 million of sustaining capital expenditures. The $182 million of capital expenditures increased 3% compared to $176 million of capital expenditures during full year 2024.
  • Common stock dividend. During the year, Crown Castle paid common stock dividends of approximately $2.1 billion in the aggregate, or $4.75 per common share, a decrease of 24% on a per share basis from the same period a year ago.

“Our full year 2025 financial and operational results reflect the efficiencies we are driving across the business,” stated Sunit Patel, Crown Castle’s Chief Financial Officer. “In 2026, we expect to offset headwinds from DISH terminations and Sprint Cancellations at the bottom-line with growth in the underlying business, operating costs reductions, and lower interest expense as we repay debt using proceeds from the Fiber Business sale. Consistent with our capital allocation framework and considering the impact of DISH Terminations, we expect to repurchase approximately $1 billion of shares and repay approximately $7 billion of debt following the Fiber Business sale close. We ended the quarter with significant liquidity and flexibility, including approximately 84% fixed rate debt, a weighted average debt maturity of approximately 6 years, and approximately $4.1 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility.”

OUTLOOK

This Outlook section contains forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially. Information regarding potential risks which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements herein is set forth below and in Crown Castle’s filings with the SEC.
The following table sets forth Crown Castle’s current full year 2026 Outlook, which does not include contributions from the Fiber Business unless indicated otherwise. Additionally, full year 2026 Outlook reflects the following items:

  • Our full year 2026 Outlook does not include any contributions from DISH Wireless due to the termination of our contract with DISH Wireless announced on January 12, 2026.
  • We are reducing our tower and corporate workforce along with other costs, resulting in a $65 million reduction in annualized run-rate operating costs as compared to 2025 levels, and $55 million of cost savings in full year 2026 due to timing.
  • We expect to repurchase approximately $1 billion of shares and repay approximately $7 billion of debt following the Fiber Business sale close, which is assumed to occur on June 30, 2026.

  • The following chart reconciles the components contributing to the expected 2026 decrease in site rental revenues.

  • Full year 2026 Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings, excluding the impact of DISH Terminations and Sprint Cancellations, is expected to be approximately $130 million or 3.3% at the midpoint. This figure increases to 3.5% if DISH revenues are excluded from prior year site rental billings. This figure for 2025 was 3.8% year-over-year on a comparable basis excluding DISH revenues from prior year.
  • DISH Terminations and Sprint Cancellations are expected to be $240 million for full year 2026, including $220 million of DISH Terminations and $20 million of Sprint Cancellations.
  • After accounting for the impact of DISH Terminations and Sprint Cancellations, Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings is expected to be approximately ($110) million for full year 2026.
  • Straight-line site rental revenues are expected to decrease by approximately $70 million for full year 2026.
  • Prepaid rent amortization is expected to decrease by approximately $20 million for full year 2026.
  • The chart below reconciles the components of expected growth in AFFO from 2025 to 2026 of approximately $15 million at the midpoint.

  • Expenses are expected to decrease by approximately $25 million as staffing and other cost reductions drive approximately $50 million of expense savings in full year 2026, partially offset by standard increases to the remaining cost base.
  • Services contribution is expected to increase by approximately $5 million at the midpoint, as service activity levels similar to 2025 are complemented by $5 million of expense savings from the workforce reduction.
  • Interest expense is expected to decrease by approximately $120 million from the repayment of approximately $7 billion of outstanding debt following the anticipated closing the Fiber Business sale.
  • Other items are expected to decrease by approximately $25 million, primarily driven by a decrease in amortization of prepaid rent.
  • Full year 2026 discretionary capital expenditures are expected to be $150 million to $250 million, and prepaid rent additions are expected to be $30 million to $50 million.

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information

This press release includes presentations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”), including per share amounts, Funds from Operations (“FFO”), including per share amounts, Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings (including as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations and as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations), and Net Debt, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended as alternative measures of operating results or cash flow from operations (as determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)).

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including other companies in the towers sector or other real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).

In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures used herein, we also provide the components of certain GAAP measures, such as site rental revenues and capital expenditures.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are presented as additional information because management believes these measures are useful indicators of the financial performance of our business. Among other things, management believes that:

  • Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure frequently used by management (1) to evaluate the economic productivity of our operations and (2) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, our operations. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA helps investors or other interested parties meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations (1) from period to period and (2) to our competitors, by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest charges from our outstanding debt) and asset base (primarily depreciation, amortization and accretion) from our financial results. Management also believes Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors or other interested parties in the evaluation of the towers sector and other REITs to measure financial performance without regard to items such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.
  • AFFO, including per share amounts, is useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating our financial performance. Management believes that AFFO helps investors or other interested parties meaningfully evaluate our financial performance as it includes (1) the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense on our outstanding debt and dividends on our preferred stock (in periods where applicable)) and (2) sustaining capital expenditures, and excludes the impact of our (1) asset base (primarily depreciation, amortization and accretion) and (2) certain non-cash items, including straight-lined revenues and expenses related to fixed escalations and rent free periods. GAAP requires rental revenues and expenses related to leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease to be recognized evenly over the life of the lease. In accordance with GAAP, if payment terms call for fixed escalations or rent free periods, the (1) revenues are recognized on a straight-lined basis over the fixed, non-cancelable term of the tenant contract, and (2) expenses are recognized on a straight-lined basis over the estimated lease term including renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. Management notes that Crown Castle uses AFFO only as a performance measure. AFFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operations or as residual cash flow available for discretionary investment.
  • FFO, including per share amounts, is useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating our financial performance. Management believes that FFO may be used by investors or other interested parties as a basis to compare our financial performance with that of other REITs. FFO helps investors or other interested parties meaningfully evaluate financial performance by excluding the impact of our asset base (primarily real estate depreciation, amortization and accretion). FFO is not a key performance indicator used by Crown Castle. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operations.
  • Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings (also referred to as organic growth) is useful to investors or other interested parties in understanding the components of the year-over-year changes in our site rental revenues computed in accordance with GAAP. Management uses Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings to assess year-over-year growth rates for our rental activities, to evaluate current performance, to capture trends in rental rates, core leasing activities and tenant non-renewals in our core business, as well as to forecast future results. Separately, we are also disclosing Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations and Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings as Adjusted for Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations, which are outside of ordinary course, to provide further insight into our results of operations and underlying trends. Management believes that identifying the impact of Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations provides increased transparency and comparability across periods. Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings (including as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations and as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations) is not meant as an alternative measure of revenue and should be considered only as a supplement in understanding and assessing the performance of our site rental revenues computed in accordance with GAAP.
  • Net Debt is useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating our overall debt position and future debt capacity. Management uses Net Debt in assessing our leverage. Net Debt is not meant as an alternative measure of debt and should be considered only as a supplement in understanding and assessing our leverage.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus restructuring charges (credits), asset write-down charges, goodwill impairment charges, acquisition and integration costs, depreciation, amortization and accretion, amortization of prepaid lease purchase price adjustments, interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, net, (gains) losses on retirement of long-term obligations, net (gain) loss on interest rate swaps, (gains) losses on foreign currency swaps, impairment of available-for-sale securities, interest income, other (income) expense, (benefit) provision for income taxes, (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and stock-based compensation expense, net.

AFFO. We define AFFO as FFO before straight-lined revenues, straight-lined expenses, stock-based compensation expense, net, non-cash portion of tax provision, non-real estate related depreciation, amortization and accretion, amortization of non-cash interest expense, other (income) expense, (gains) losses on retirement of long-term obligations, net (gain) loss on interest rate swaps, (gains) losses on foreign currency swaps, impairment of available-for-sale securities, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring charges (credits), cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and adjustments for noncontrolling interests, less sustaining capital expenditures.

AFFO per share. We define AFFO per share as AFFO divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

FFO. We define FFO as net income (loss) plus real estate related depreciation, amortization and accretion, asset write-down charges, goodwill impairment charges, and (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, less noncontrolling interest and cash paid for preferred stock dividends (in periods where applicable), and is a measure of funds from operations attributable to common stockholders.

FFO per share. We define FFO per share as FFO divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

Net Debt. We define Net Debt as (1) debt and other long-term obligations and (2) current maturities of debt and other obligations, excluding unamortized adjustments, net, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents.


Other Definitions

Site rental billings. We define site rental billings as site rental revenues exclusive of the impacts from (1) straight-lined revenues, (2) amortization of prepaid rent in accordance with GAAP, (3) contribution from recent acquisitions until the one-year anniversary of such acquisitions, (4) other revenues, such as tenant cancellation fees, finance charges and other items and (5) amounts related to DISH Terminations, where applicable.

Discretionary capital expenditures. We define discretionary capital expenditures relating to continuing operations as those made with respect to activities which we believe exhibit sufficient potential to enhance long-term stockholder value. Discretionary capital expenditures, including with respect to discontinued operations, primarily consist of expansion or development of our communications infrastructure (including capital expenditures related to (1) enhancing communications infrastructure in order to add new tenants for the first time or support subsequent tenant equipment augmentations or (2) modifying the structure of a communications infrastructure asset to accommodate additional tenants) and construction of new communications infrastructure. Discretionary capital expenditures also include purchases of land interests (which primarily relates to land assets under towers as we seek to manage our interests in the land beneath our towers), certain technology-related investments necessary to support and scale future customer demand for our communications infrastructure, and other capital projects.

Sustaining capital expenditures. We define sustaining capital expenditures as those capital expenditures (including with respect to discontinued operations) not otherwise categorized as discretionary capital expenditures, such as (1) maintenance capital expenditures on our communications infrastructure assets that enable our tenants’ ongoing quiet enjoyment of the communications infrastructure and (2) ordinary corporate capital expenditures.

Fiber Business. We define Fiber Business as the historically reported Fiber segment, prior to its reclassification to discontinued operations, together with certain supporting assets and personnel. Management has signed a definitive agreement (“Agreement”) to sell the Fiber Business with EQT Active Core Infrastructure fund (“EQT”) acquiring the small cells business and Zayo Group Holdings Inc. (“Zayo”) acquiring the fiber solutions business (“Transaction”) for $8.5 billion in aggregate, subject to certain closing adjustments. The Transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026 subject to certain closing conditions and required government and regulatory approvals. Pending the closing of the Transaction, we will continue to operate the Fiber Business in accordance with the Agreement.

Commenting on the results, Art Zeile, President and CEO of DHI Group, said:

“This quarter’s results demonstrate the strength of our subscription-based model and the durable value of our ClearanceJobs and Dice platforms. ClearanceJobs achieved a key inflection point, returning to year-over-year bookings growth, supported by the early stages of defense hiring tailwinds and strong execution. AgileATS is performing ahead of expectations and expands the strategic scope of the ClearanceJobs platform as part of our growth strategy. While Dice continues to face a challenging commercial tech hiring environment, our ongoing platform modernization and AI-driven differentiation position us well for recovery. Supported by strong margins and resilient recurring revenue, we remain focused on delivering long-term profitable growth and creating shareholder value through free cash flow generation.”

Greg Schippers, CFO of DHI Group, commented:

“During the quarter, ClearanceJobs returned to bookings growth, and we believe the expected record defense budget will be a meaningful catalyst for continued momentum in 2026. More broadly, we expect organizations across industries will increase investment in technology initiatives, creating attractive growth opportunities for both ClearanceJobs and Dice. We remain focused on enhancing our industry-leading solutions, sharpening our go-to-market execution, and operating with discipline and efficiency to drive margin performance and free cash flow. Reflecting confidence in the business and our commitment to delivering shareholder value, our Board approved a new $10 million share repurchase program, which will commence this month and run through February 2027.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and oral statements made from time to time by our representatives contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, information concerning our possible or assumed future financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, including expectations (financial or otherwise), our strategy, plans, objectives, and intentions, growth potential, and statements regarding our financial outlook. These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target” or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to execute our tech-focused strategy, a write-off of all or a part of our goodwill and intangible assets, backlog not accurately representing future revenue, competition from existing and future competitors in the highly competitive markets in which we operate, failure to adapt our business model to keep pace with rapid changes in the recruiting and career services business and the development of new products and services, macroeconomic conditions, including government shutdowns, the impact of initiatives to restructuring or streamlining government agencies, such as DOGE, the risk that AI models will reduce demand for technology professionals in the workforce, failure to maintain and develop our reputation and brand recognition, failure to increase or maintain the number of customers who purchase recruitment packages, failure to attract qualified professionals to our websites or grow the number of qualified professionals who use our websites, inability to successfully integrate future acquisitions or identify and consummate future acquisitions, misappropriation or misuse of our intellectual property, claims against us for intellectual property infringement or failure to enforce our ownership of intellectual property, failure to attract and retain users who create and post original content on our web properties, taxation risks in various jurisdictions and the potential for unfavorable decisions related to tax assessments, taxation risks impacting our liability or past sales, and ability to make future sales, downturns in our customers’ businesses, our indebtedness and our ability to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility or refinance our indebtedness, restrictions on our current and future operations under such indebtedness, development and use of artificial intelligence, failure to timely and efficiently scale, adapt and maintain our technology and infrastructure, capacity constraints, system failures or breaches of network security, usefulness of our candidate profiles to our customers, decreases in our user engagement, changes in search engines’ methodologies, failure to halt operations of third-party websites aggregating our data, reliance on third-party hosting facilities, our compliance with laws and regulations, U.S. and foreign government regulation of the Internet and taxation, failure to attract or retain key executives and personnel, our ability to navigate the cyclicality or downturns of the U.S. and worldwide economies, litigation related to infringement or other claims regarding our services or content, our ability to defend ownership of our intellectual property, global climate change, compliance with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, volatility in our stock price, differences between estimates of financial projections and future results, failure to maintain controls over financial reporting, results of operations fluctuating on a quarterly and annual basis, our Section 382 Rights Plan may have an anti-takeover effect, and anti-takeover provisions in our governing documents may make changes to management difficult, and disruption resulting from unsolicited offers to purchase the company. These factors and others are discussed in more detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are available on the Investors page of our website at www.dhigroupinc.com, including the Company’s most recently filed reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and subsequent filings under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by the Company or its representatives herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by applicable federal securities laws.

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional information for its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives to, measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company’s management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company and for budgeting and planning purposes. Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the periods presented. The non-GAAP measures apply to consolidated results or other measures as shown within this document. The Company has provided required reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures elsewhere in the document.

Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share

Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share is a non-GAAP performance measure that management believes is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of operating trends. Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share is computed as diluted earnings per share plus or minus the impacts of certain non-cash and other items, including non-cash stock-based compensation, impairments, costs related to reorganizing the Company, including severance and related costs, gains or losses on investments, restructuring charges, and discrete tax items.

Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per share, net income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our profitability.

Free Cash Flow​

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus fixed asset purchases. We believe free cash flow is an important non-GAAP measure for investors as it provides useful cash flow information regarding our ability to service, incur or pay down indebtedness or repurchase our common stock. Management uses free cash flow as a measure to reflect cash available to service our debt as well as to fund our expenditures. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities is that free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance from operations for the period since it includes cash used for fixed asset purchases during the period.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures used by management to measure operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as performance measures for internal monitoring and planning, including preparation of annual budgets, analyzing investment decisions and evaluating profitability and performance comparisons between us and our competitors. The Company also uses these measures to calculate amounts of performance-based compensation under the senior management incentive bonus program. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income plus (to the extent deducted in calculating such net income) interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and items such as non-cash stock-based compensation, certain write-offs in connection with indebtedness, impairment charges with respect to long-lived assets, expenses incurred in connection with an equity offering or any other offering of securities by the Company, extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash expenses or losses, losses from equity method investments, transaction costs in connection with the credit agreement, deferred revenue written off in connection with acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, write-off of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, severance and retention costs related to dispositions and reorganizations of the Company, impairment of investment and goodwill, restructuring charges and losses related to legal claims and fees that are unusual in nature or infrequent, minus (to the extent included in calculating such net income) non-cash income or gains, including income from equity method investments, interest income, business interruption insurance proceeds, and gains related to legal claims that are unusual in nature or infrequent.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

We also consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as defined above, to be important indicators to investors because they provide information related to our ability to provide cash flows to meet future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and to fund future growth. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as supplemental performance measures because we believe that these measures provide our board of directors, management and investors with additional information to measure our performance, provide comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense) and tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), and to estimate our value.

We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our liquidity or results as reported under GAAP. Some limitations are:

  • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

  • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

  • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

  • Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

To compensate for these limitations, management evaluates our liquidity by considering the economic effect of excluded expense items independently, as well as in connection with its analysis of cash flows from operations and through the use of other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budget variances, investment spending levels and return on capital analysis.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, operating income, net income, net income margin, cash provided by operating activities, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.

(1) For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net income and diluted earnings per share includes the net negative impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, impairments, and severance, professional fees, and related costs of $3.3 million ($2.7 million net of tax) and discrete tax items of $(0.1) million, resulting in a net negative impact of $2.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, net income and diluted earnings per share includes the net negative impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, loss on investment, and severance, professional fees, and related costs of $3.1 million ($2.4 million net of tax) and discrete tax items of $(0.1) million, resulting in a net negative impact of $2.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.

(2) Net income (loss) margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are calculated by dividing the respective measure by that period’s revenue.

(3) For the year ended December 31, 2025, net loss and diluted loss per share includes the net negative impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, restructuring, impairments, and severance, professional fees, and related costs of $32.8 million ($26.7 million net of tax) and discrete tax items of $0.1 million, resulting in a net negative impact of $26.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted share. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net income and diluted earnings per share includes the net negative impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, restructuring, impairments, gain on investment, and severance, professional fees, and related costs of $11.2 million ($8.5 million net of tax) and discrete tax items of $2.3 million, resulting in a net negative impact of $10.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share.

(1) Non-GAAP adjustment is presented on a gross basis, which excludes the impact of income taxes.

(2) The Company utilized a federal rate plus a net state rate that excluded the impact of share-based compensation awards and other discrete items to calculate its non-GAAP blended statutory income tax rate of 25% for all periods presented. The non-GAAP rate has been applied to compute the tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments.

(3) Discrete tax items resulted from the tax impacts of share-based compensation awards and state taxes related to research and development expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2024.

(4) Adjusts, as applicable, for the share impact of common stock equivalents, where dilutive, and for the impacts of rounding.

Guidance

Earlier in this press release, the Company provided guidance for Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We are unable to reconcile expected Adjusted EBITDA margin to its nearest GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of items such as non-cash stock-based compensation, impairments, income tax expense, gains or losses from equity method investments, severance, professional fees and related costs, and restructuring charges. By their very nature, these items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.
