Jay C. Horgen, Chief Executive Officer of AMG, said:“AMG generated excellent results in the third quarter, with growth of 17% in Adjusted EBITDA relative to the prior-year quarter, driven by the successful execution of our strategy, including most notably our focus on increasing AMG’s exposure to alternative strategies, and growth of 27% in Economic Earnings per share, reflecting the additional positive impact of our disciplined capital allocation strategy. Ongoing strong client demand for our Affiliates’ alternative strategies drove approximately $9 billion in net inflows in the quarter, and approximately $17 billion in the year to date, further accelerating the evolution of our business profile. “We continue to actively expand AMG’s participation in areas of secular growth. In addition to the four new partnerships with firms managing alternative strategies announced since the beginning of the year, we recently announced a strategic collaboration with BBH, and a related investment in its subsidiary BBH Credit Partners, to develop new products for the U.S. wealth marketplace leveraging BBH’s industry-leading structured and alternative credit investment expertise and AMG’s product development and distribution capabilities. Our collaboration with BBH highlights the value of AMG’s proven capital formation capabilities in the wealth channel and enhances our position as a leading sponsor of alternative strategies for the U.S. wealth market.

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: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in millions) 9/30/2024 9/30/2025 9/30/2024 9/30/2025 Numerator Net income (controlling interest) $123.6 $212.4 $349.5 $369.0 Income from hypothetical settlement of Redeemable non-controlling interests, net of taxes 5.2 10.1 1.0 11.5 Interest expense on junior convertible securities, net of taxes 3.4 3.4 10.1 10.1 Net income (controlling interest), as adjusted $132.2 $225.9 $360.6 $390.6 Denominator Average shares outstanding (basic) 30.1 28.4 31.4 28.7 Effect of dilutive instruments: Stock options and restricted stock units 1.7 0.8 1.9 1.0 Hypothetical issuance of shares to settle Redeemable non-controlling interests 1.5 2.0 0.2 1.6 Assumed issuance of junior convertible securities shares 1.7 1.7 1.7 1.7 Average shares outstanding (diluted) 35.0 32.9 35.2 33.0 (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 www.sec.gov. 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.
