WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMG, a strategic partner to leading independent investment management firms globally, today reported its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.
Jay C. Horgen, Chief Executive Officer of AMG, said:
"AMG delivered outstanding results in 2025, which was one of the strongest years in our Company's history. Our results—including annual Economic earnings per share growth of 22% and net inflows of approximately $29 billion, representing an organic growth rate of 4%—reflect successful execution of our strategy, particularly the accelerating evolution of our business toward areas of secular demand, most notably private markets and liquid alternatives.
"2025 was also a landmark year for growth investments, with more than $1 billion in capital committed across four new Affiliates operating in private markets or liquid alternatives: NorthBridge Partners, Verition Fund Management, Montefiore Investment, and Qualitas Energy, as well as a strategic collaboration with Brown Brothers Harriman to develop new structured and alternative credit products for the U.S. wealth marketplace. Each of these partnerships reflects AMG's commitment to investing in growth areas, as well as our differentiated partnership approach, which magnifies our Affiliates' long‑term success through strategic engagement while preserving their independence.
"AMG's private markets Affiliates manage approximately $146 billion in assets and raised approximately $24 billion in 2025, highlighting the ongoing demand for our Affiliates' specialized strategies. Our Affiliates managing liquid alternative strategies delivered excellent investment performance, generating a record of approximately $51 billion in net inflows for the year, and now manage approximately $227 billion, representing a 61% increase since the beginning of the year. Throughout 2025, we also continued to invest our capital and resources in and alongside our Affiliates, particularly to develop innovative alternative solutions for the U.S. wealth marketplace. In addition, as AMG's unique partnership model continued to attract outstanding firms seeking a strategic partner, we recently announced a new partnership with HighBrook, a private markets manager specializing in thematic opportunities in real estate assets, and an additional investment in Garda, a leading liquid alternatives manager specializing in relative value fixed income strategies, and an Affiliate since 2019.
"As we enter 2026, AMG is exceptionally well‑positioned. With growing scale in alternative strategies, underpinned by strong organic growth from existing Affiliates and the addition of new high-quality partnerships; an expanding presence in the U.S. wealth marketplace; and increasing opportunities to invest in growth, enhanced by our excellent capital position and disciplined capital allocation framework, we have an outstanding opportunity to drive further earnings growth and create meaningful long-term value for our shareholders."

Capital Management
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $350 million in common stock, bringing full-year share repurchases to approximately $700 million. The Company also completed the issuance of $425 million in senior notes due 2036 and used the net proceeds to redeem and settle conversions relating to the Company's 5.15% junior convertible trust preferred securities due 2037 (the "Junior Convertible Securities"). This refinancing of the Junior Convertible Securities simplified the Company's capital structure and removed the associated share count dilution. Subsequently, the Company announced a fourth-quarter cash dividend of $0.01 per share of common stock, payable March 9, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 23, 2026. In addition, AMG's Board of Directors increased the Company's share repurchase authorization, providing for a total of approximately 6 million shares available for repurchase under the Company's share repurchase programs, as of January 26, 2026.

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) for the period in which they were outstanding. 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. Our obligations under the junior convertible securities were fully settled in cash in January 2026, and there are no junior convertible securities outstanding as of the date of this release. 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 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-related activities, 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-related activities, 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): |
