(“Abacus” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ABL), a leader in the alternative asset management space, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. “We delivered exceptional results in the first quarter of 2025, more than doubling our revenue and adjusted earnings year-over-year while strengthening our market position,” said Jay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Abacus. “Our unique business model continues to demonstrate its resilience and appeal in today’s uncertain market environment, serving both policyholders seeking liquidity and investors pursuing uncorrelated alternative assets. Additionally, our asset management business is gaining significant momentum, as evidenced by our newly launched funds attracting $122.8 million in capital inflows in just the first month. With our robust balance sheet, expanded product offerings, and growing brand presence, we are well-positioned to achieve our growth targets for 2025 and beyond.” First Quarter 2025 Highlights Total revenue for the first quarter more than doubled to $44.1 million, compared to $21.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues from Life Solutions (formerly active management and origination), as well as a full quarter of asset management fees from the acquisitions that were completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. Origination capital deployment for the first quarter of 2025 was $124.9 million, compared to $54.6 million in the prior-year period; number of policies held as of the end of the first quarter of 2025 stood at 753, compared to 322 in the prior-year period. GAAP net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2025 was $4.6 million, compared to net loss of $1.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues, partially offset by increased operating expenses related to the acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2025 grew 158% to $17.3 million, compared to $6.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025 was $0.18, compared to $0.11 in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2025 more than doubled to $24.5 million, compared to $11.6 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2025 was 55.6%, compared to 53.9% in the prior-year period. Annualized return on invested capital (ROIC) (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2025 was 16.7%. Annualized Return on equity (ROE) (a non-GAAP financial measure) for the first quarter of 2025 was 16.0%. Liquidity and Capital As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $43.8 million, balance sheet policy assets of $448.1 million and outstanding long-term debt of $238.0 million. 2025 Outlook The company is maintaining its full year 2025 outlook for Adjusted net income of between $70 million and $78 million. The range implies growth of between 51% to 68% compared to full year 2024 Adjusted net income of $46.5 million. For a definition of Adjusted net income, see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Information Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Abacus adjusted for non-controlling interest income, amortization, change in fair value of warrants and non-cash stock-based compensation and the related tax effect of those adjustments. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to Net income attributable to Abacus, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below. The Company is unable to provide a comparable FY 2025 outlook for, or a reconciliation to net income because it cannot provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort. Its inability to do so is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of items that have not yet occurred and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including variations in effective tax rate, expenses to be incurred for acquisition activities, and other one-time or exceptional items. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Abacus adjusted for depreciation expense, amortization, interest expense, income tax and other non-cash and certain non-recurring items that in our judgement significantly impact the period-over-period assessment of performance and operating results that do not directly relate to business performance within Abacus’ control. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income attributable to Abacus Life, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total revenues. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to Net income margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears below. Annualized return on invested capital (ROIC), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted net income for the quarter divided by the result of Total Assets less Intangible assets, net, Goodwill and Current Liabilities multiplied by four. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe ROIC should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities or other income statement or cash flow statement line items reported in accordance with GAAP. Annualized return on equity (ROE), a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Adjusted net income divided by total shareholder equity multiplied by four. ROE is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. We believe ROE should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities or other income statement or cash flow statement line items reported in accordance with GAAP. The below table presents our calculation of ROE.
