WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMG, a strategic partner to leading independent investment management firms globally, today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Jay C. Horgen, Chief Executive Officer of AMG, said:

“In the second quarter, AMG reported growth of 15% in Economic Earnings per share relative to the year-ago quarter, reflecting the disciplined execution of our capital allocation strategy and the increasing momentum in our business. Net client cash flows of more than $8 billion firmwide were driven by record flows into alternatives, reflecting ongoing strength in private markets fundraising and growing client demand for liquid alternative strategies.

“Through strong ongoing execution of our strategy, we are accelerating the evolution of AMG’s business toward areas of secular growth. AMG's Affiliates managing private markets and liquid alternative strategies generated net client inflows of approximately $33 billion in the first half of the year, reflecting the ongoing demand for our Affiliates’ specialized strategies. In addition, we recently announced a new partnership with Montefiore, a leading European private equity firm focused on the services sector. So far in 2025, we have announced four new partnerships with firms collectively managing approximately $24 billion in alternative strategies, underscoring the ongoing demand for AMG’s unique approach, which magnifies the competitive advantages of partner-owned firms while also preserving their independence.

“With our excellent capital position and distinct competitive advantages, including our worldwide reputation as a collaborative strategic partner to the highest-quality independent firms, we are uniquely positioned to execute on our opportunity set. We remain confident in our ability to generate meaningful additional shareholder value over time, as we invest in new and existing Affiliates while also returning excess capital to shareholders within our disciplined capital allocation framework.”

Notes

  
(1)Earnings per share (diluted) adjusts for the dilutive effect of the potential issuance of incremental shares of our common stock.



We assume the settlement of all of our Redeemable non-controlling interests using the maximum number of shares permitted under our arrangements. The issuance of shares and the related income acquired are excluded from the calculation if an assumed purchase of Redeemable non-controlling interests would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.



We are required to apply the if-converted method to our outstanding junior convertible securities when calculating Earnings per share (diluted). Under the if-converted method, shares that are issuable upon conversion are deemed outstanding, regardless of whether the securities are contractually convertible into our common stock at that time. For this calculation, the interest expense (net of tax) attributable to these dilutive securities is added back to Net income (controlling interest), reflecting the assumption that the securities have been converted. Issuable shares for these securities and related interest expense are excluded from the calculation if an assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.



The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

(2)As supplemental information, we provide non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest), Economic net income (controlling interest), and Economic earnings per share. We believe that many investors use our Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) when comparing our financial performance to other companies in the investment management industry. Management utilizes these non-GAAP performance measures to assess our performance before our share of certain non-cash GAAP expenses primarily related to the acquisition of interests in Affiliates and to improve comparability between periods. Economic net income (controlling interest) and Economic earnings per share are used by management and our Board of Directors as our principal performance benchmarks, including as one of the measures for determining executive compensation. These non-GAAP performance measures are provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Net income (controlling interest), Earnings per share, or other GAAP performance measures. For additional information on our non-GAAP measures, see our most recent Annual and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q, respectively, which are accessible on the SEC's website at



Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) represents our performance before our share of interest expense, income and certain non-income based taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments, gains and losses related to Affiliate Transactions, and non-cash items such as certain Affiliate equity activity, gains and losses on our contingent payment obligations, and unrealized gains and losses on seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments. Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) is also adjusted to include realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments.



Under our Economic net income (controlling interest) definition, we adjust Net income (controlling interest) for our share of pre-tax intangible amortization and impairments related to intangible assets (including the portion attributable to equity method investments in Affiliates) because these expenses do not correspond to the changes in the value of these assets, which do not diminish predictably over time. We also adjust for deferred taxes attributable to intangible assets because we believe it is unlikely these accruals will be used to settle material tax obligations. Further, we adjust for gains and losses related to Affiliate Transactions, net of tax, and other economic items. Other economic items include certain Affiliate equity activity, gains and losses related to contingent payment obligations, tax windfalls and shortfalls from share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses on seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments, and realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments.



Economic earnings per share represents Economic net income (controlling interest) divided by the Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted). In this calculation, we exclude the potential shares issued upon settlement of Redeemable non-controlling interests from Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted) because we intend to settle those obligations without issuing shares, consistent with all prior Affiliate equity purchase transactions. The potential share issuance in connection with our junior convertible securities is measured using a “treasury stock” method. Under this method, only the net number of shares of common stock equal to the value of the junior convertible securities in excess of par, if any, are deemed to be outstanding. We believe the inclusion of net shares under a treasury stock method best reflects the benefit of the increase in available capital resources (which could be used to repurchase shares of our common stock) that occurs when these securities are converted and we are relieved of our debt obligation.



The following table provides a reconciliation of Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted):
  

   

  Three Months Ended  Six Months Ended
 (in millions)6/30/2024 6/30/2025 6/30/2024 6/30/2025

 Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted)33.4  29.5  34.0  30.0

 Equity method income (net)$18.1  $65.6  $135.7  $140.9 
                 



(4)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, other economic items and other items include a one-time expense of $30.5 million which resulted from a modification of Affiliate equity which, consistent with the definitions of our non-GAAP performance measures, has been added back to Economic net income (controlling interest) and Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest).
