AlTi Global, Inc. — Call Transcript 2025
Nov 12, 2025
Good afternoon. My name is Irene, and I will be your conference operator for today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to AlTi's third quarter 2025 earnings conference call. During the call, your lines will remain in the listen-only mode. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. I would like to advise all parties that this conference call is being recorded and a replay of the webcast is available on AlTi's Investor Relations website. Now, at this time, I will turn things over to Lily Arteaga, Head of Investor Relations for AlTi. Please go ahead. Good afternoon to everyone on the call today. Joining me are Michael Tiedemann, our CEO, and Mike Harrington, our CFO. We invite you to visit the Investor Relations section of our website to view our earnings materials, including today's presentation. I would like to remind everyone that certain statements made during this call may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, comments made during the prepared remarks and in response to questions. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to AlTi's filings with the SEC, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. AlTi assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. During this call, we may refer to non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures can be found in our earnings materials and related filings. Lastly, please note that the recast financial results referenced in the presentation for the second quarter of 2025 reflect preliminary unaudited statements with respect to such results based solely on currently available information, which is subject to change. With that, I'll turn the call over to Michael. Thank you, Lily, and good afternoon, everyone. The third quarter reflects continued execution of the strategy that we have laid out, focusing the firm on our core wealth management business, simplifying the organization, and reducing structural costs so that earnings scale directly with revenue. As previously disclosed, we placed our international real estate business in administration this quarter. The business had been a drag on margins, as discussed in prior calls. The charges associated with placing it in administration will be our final restructuring charges related to it, and the business will no longer take management attention going forward. This results in cleaner financials and bottom-line improvements as we move ahead. We also moved to a single reporting segment, which provides cleaner transparency into performance and supports a more direct evaluation of operating leverage. We continue to operate from a position of strength. Our platform is global, integrated, purpose-built to serve the complex needs of ultra-high-net-worth families, foundations, and endowments. By combining institutional investment capabilities, deep access to alternatives and impact, and the infrastructure of a multifamily office, we deliver seamless solutions to teams across nine countries and 19 cities. Our business remains anchored in long-duration advisory and OCIO relationships with ultra-high-net-worth families. Since 2021, having approximately 96% client retention, with an average tenor of 10 years and an average AUM per client above $50 million. These long-standing relationships are built on a foundation of trust, and their wealth compounds over time through market cycles with diversified exposures to both public and private markets. A core differentiator is our ability to deliver independent advice at scale, particularly in private markets. We leverage our platform to negotiate preferred access and pricing with leading managers. A perfect example of this is our partnership allocating capital alongside our larger shareholder Allianz within the private credit space. This joint venture continues to grow, outperform, and accrue to the benefit of our client base. Consolidated revenue for the quarter was $57 million, with approximately 95% generated by recurring management fees, and adjusted EBITDA was $6 million. Our results this quarter also include a non-cash valuation adjustment related to our interest in the arbitrage strategy. This adjustment is accounting-driven, reflecting valuation at a single point in time during a period of lower AUM. Despite this valuation adjustment, the strategy is performing well, up 7.5% through September, driven by an improved regulatory environment and strong market backdrop. At AlTi, our cost base is structurally lower and continues to decline as the efforts of our zero-based budget program come into effect. Once completed near the end of 2026, these initiatives are expected to generate approximately $20 million in recurring annual gross savings across non-compensation categories. This disciplined approach to cost complements the robust organic growth we're seeing across our wealth business. Internationally, we added more than $600 million in assets in the quarter alone, including a $240 million mandate secured through collaboration between our Miami and Singapore offices and a $130 million mandate driven by our impact investing team in Zurich, working with specialists from Contoro in Germany. Year-to-date, the international growth has been substantial, with over $1.2 billion added from both new clients and expanded relationships with existing ones. In the U.S., growth continues to accelerate as we strengthen relationships with large, sophisticated families and broaden our presence in priority markets. Through September, we secured nearly $1.1 billion in new and expanded mandates, reflecting strong demand for our capabilities. Our pipeline remains exceptionally robust, featuring significant OCIO opportunities. While onboarding timelines vary, our consistent execution and proven expertise give us confidence in converting these prospects into enduring client partnerships. Building on this progress, we are sharpening our growth focus through four distinct segments: women who manage wealth, family offices, endowments and foundations, and established wealth. By tailoring our investment and service strategies to these segments, we aim to foster stronger internal alignment and create clear differentiation in the marketplace. Early indicators are positive, collaboration is accelerating, and after a brief slowdown last year, our prospect win rate is returning to normal levels. In parallel, we have built and continue to invest in operational centers of excellence: Lisbon for international operations and Delaware for U.S. operations. These hubs reflect a strategic positioning and cost-effectiveness, enabling us to create meaningful operating leverage as we scale. We are also refining our pricing models, with a particular focus on international wealth management. These enhancements will drive greater consistency across our global platform, align pricing with the complexity and value of services we deliver, and strengthen operating margins, all while ensuring a fair and transparent experience for clients. Alongside these efforts, we're positioned to fully realize the benefits of substantial investments made over the past few years. These projects have strengthened our platform through a unified global tech infrastructure, consolidated investment capabilities, service, and more robust finance function, leveraging best-in-class systems. Taken together, these strengths, combined with our singular focus on serving global ultra-high-net-worth segments, position AlTi as a truly differentiated firm with a scalable control environment that is uncommon in our industry. While these investments have weighed on our short-term profitability, they were made with a clear long-term vision, creating a solid foundation for growth. To summarize, the restructuring of the international real estate business is complete. The cost base is structurally lower and continuing to decline, and the platform is simplified and scalable. As new mandates and assets move into billing, revenue growth will convert into margin expansion. With the firm now squarely focused on organic and strategic growth within our core segment, we expect results to reflect this clearly as we move forward. With that, I'll turn it over to Mike Harrington to walk through the results for the quarter. Thank you, Michael, and good afternoon, everyone. Let me begin with two important structural changes that shaped our third-quarter results. First, our international real estate business being placed under administration in July qualified it to be presented as discontinued operations. As such, we have restated prior periods to isolate continued operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Second, in line with this presentation, we have unified our financial reporting into a single segment. These changes reflect our strategy to streamline and focus on our core wealth management franchise and enhance transparency, improve comparability, and better reflect the business we're building and scaling. Now, turning to the quarter, revenues for the third quarter were $57 million, up 10% year-over-year and 9% sequentially, reflecting continued momentum in our wealth management business. Growth was led by management fees of $52 million, up 7% versus last year, driven by robust asset growth. Additionally, revenues benefited from a year-over-year increase in incentive fees and the arbitrage fund. Importantly, 95% of revenues this quarter were recurring, underscoring the durability and predictability of our model. Assets under management reached $49 billion at quarter end, up 6% year over year, fueled by strong underlying portfolio performance and the acquisition of Contoro last quarter. Sequentially, AUM increased 4%, reflecting both portfolio performance and meaningful net new asset growth. Clear evidence of the momentum Michael highlighted as a core driver of future earnings power. Operating expenses for the quarter were $86 million, up from $61 million in the prior year period. The increase was largely driven by non-recurring, non-cash charges, including a $4 million client redress provision and a $16 million write-off of receivables due from our disposed international real estate business that were formerly intercompany balances. The year-on-year increase also reflects the acquisition of Contoro. Including the one-time items, normalized operating expenses were $51 million versus $43 million in the third quarter of 2024. Normalized compensation expenses totaled $32 million, compared to $28 million, primarily reflecting the inclusion of Contoro and the bonus provision associated with the arbitrage incentive fee recorded this quarter. Normalized non-compensation expenses were $19 million, compared to $15 million in the prior year period, driven by Contoro's consolidation and higher professional fees and G&A expenses. Sequentially, normalized compensation expenses rose by $3 million, primarily driven by the bonus provision. In sharp contrast, non-compensation expenses decreased approximately $600,000 from the prior quarter, even after absorbing an additional month of Contoro, which contributed nearly $500,000 in cost. Excluding Contoro, the quarter-over-quarter reduction exceeds $1 million, underscoring the tangible impact of our zero-based budgeting initiative. This disciplined approach is delivering measurable savings across multiple categories, including technology, professional fees, marketing, and travel and entertainment. Building on these results, the initiatives implemented in these categories are delivering tangible benefits and will continue to contribute meaningfully to the quarters ahead. Importantly, additional savings are expected to come online soon as we begin to realize the impact of occupancy optimization across key offices and the wind down of legacy technology and vendor contracts. Together, these efforts represent the next phase of our zero-based budgeting strategy and are central to our trajectory, reinforcing our commitment to operational discipline and positioning the company for sustained margin expansion. Other loss for the quarter was $28 million, primarily driven by $35 million non-cash impairment of the arbitrage fund. This was partly offset by gains from fair value adjustments on certain investments. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $6 million, compared to $12 million in the prior year period. The 2024 quarter benefited from nearly $3 million in interest income, while the third quarter of 2025 reflects the full impact of Contoro, adding approximately $3 million in normalized cost alongside higher professional fees and G&A expenses. Importantly, nearly all of the $93 million in EBITDA adjustments, approximately $87 million, are non-cash in nature. Of the cash add-backs, only $1 million were non-transaction related. This is notable as it points to the normalization of the business operations going forward. The tax line this quarter reflects a non-cash charge of $30 million, including the impact of the 100% valuation allowance related to our deferred taxed asset. This adjustment was necessary due to uncertainty around future realization. Finally, on a GAAP basis, we reported a net loss of $107 million for the quarter, primarily reflecting the non-cash, non-recurring charges related to the exit of the international real estate business, the impairment of the arbitrage intangible, and the valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. Adjusted net income, which excludes non-recurring items, was $1 million. The net loss from discontinued operations was $20 million for the quarter, reflecting the full impact of placing the international real estate division in administration. Upon deconsolidation, intercompany balances were reclassified as third-party receivables and payables. As part of its commitment to an early wind down, AlTi will provide financial support and transactional services through the wind down period ending December 31, 2027. The support will be reflected as an adjustment to the payable balance and reported under continuing operations. While this quarter includes significant charges, these non-recurring costs should not mask the encouraging quarter-over-quarter trends on a normalized basis. The positive impact of our efficiency and productivity initiatives is starting to come through. As we enter the final quarter of 2025, AlTi stands on a stronger, leaner platform with a normalizing expense base, driven by organizational streamlining, zero-based budgeting implementation, and the real estate exit. Combined with the robust organic growth, outlook, and pricing initiatives Michael outlined, we believe the business is well-positioned for sustainable margin expansion. With that, I'll hand it back to Michael for his closing remarks. Thank you, Mike. Before we open the line for questions, I want to reiterate what sets AlTi apart. Our platform is purpose-built for the world's most sophisticated families, combining global reach, deep expertise, and a cultural partnership that endures across generations. The resilience of our business, anchored in long-standing relationships, high client retention, and a commitment to independent, best-in-class advice, gives us confidence as we navigate periods of change. As we sharpen our focus on our core wealth management business, we're investing in what matters most: our clients, our people, and the capabilities that drive sustainable long-term growth. We believe the actions we've taken this quarter position AlTi to deliver on our mission, helping families manage wealth with purpose and building lasting legacies. Thank you for your trust and partnership. Operator, let's open the line for questions. Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star and then one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star and then two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. The first question we have is from Wilma Burdis of Raymond James. Please go ahead. Hello. Good evening, you guys. Maybe you can help me just think a little bit more about normalized EBITDA versus the $6.2 million that you guys posted in the quarter. I think you mentioned that normalized expenses were around $35 million lower than the operating expenses on a reported basis. So I do not know. Should we add that back to the EBITDA? How should we think about that? Thanks. Yeah, I'll take that. Yes, yeah, you should add that back. I mean, going to my comments around the adjusted EBITDA, I think that's what you should focus on. That's what's been normalized. Yeah, so we definitely add the $35 back. It's going to be non-recurring. I'm not sure I'm answering your question. Wilma, could you be more specific? Yeah, I think what I'm trying to get into a little bit more is just how we should think about a normalized level of EBITDA. I guess you've done some of the ZBB work. You've had different charges. Just any way you could help bridge me to a more normalized level of EBITDA on a go-forward basis would be helpful. Thank you. We're avoiding providing guidance. I think our commentary is trying to point in that direction. We've got a lot of confidence in terms of how we're managing cost and the direction that those costs are headed. As I noted in my comments, feel good about what's coming online in terms of savings. Any increases we might have, for example, when you get to the end of the year in Q1, you have merit increases, that we should be able to mute that because we're going to have offsets to that in terms of to keep that from rising. As Michael noted, the pipeline activity is very strong. The last couple of quarters, you've seen our management fees really grow over up 15% from Q1. The combination of those two and some other initiatives we have going on, like the pricing initiative that Michael referenced, should really lead to an expanding margin. I think we have a high degree of confidence around that outcome. Is that helpful? It is helpful. I guess if I think about this year, what you guys have posted, probably for the first three quarters, something in the $40 million, maybe a little bit more than that, $40-ish million range for adjusted EBITDA. And then you have got the ZBB coming on board as well, and then some growth. Does that kind of give us a good, decent type run rate to build off of without giving guidance? If I was building off, I'd build off the $6 million number we were providing as adjusted and then expand off of that number, so. Okay. So that's a good number as kind of a run rate then, you think, and then you're adding ZBB and growth. Okay. Yes. Got you. Thank you. That helps. You made commentary about just non-cash versus cash. Is there any way, I do not think that this is something that you guys have provided a lot of detail in the way that I can recall historically, but is there a way to back into cash flow or anything along those lines? Thanks. When our filing's made, we don't provide that in this material we have here, but when our filing's made, you'll be able to see the cash, changing cash for the period. We did consume some cash this period, so you'll see that when we file our 10-Q. On a go-forward basis, I'd expect cash or cash and our cash flow to improve just based on the performance of the business improving. Okay. Got you. Could you just go a little bit into a little bit more detail on the impairment in the arbitrage fund, which was, I think it was around $35 million? Sure. Yeah. The valuation that was used last September was a function of certain projections, certain assumptions that are made around the business and its performance. Part of those assumptions were certain growth rates are applied to the business. As you can see, the results for the year that assets have not grown are actually down from $930 million of 2024. That caused us to have to take a look at the assumptions that we had made around the valuation last year. We refreshed all that with new assumptions around the go-forward growth rates. When we did the math, that caused us to have to record an impairment on the business. As Michael noted, from a performance standpoint, the strategy is doing very well. It just did not grow last year. It actually shrank, in terms of AUM. It is doing very well. It's having one of its best years in a number of years. That is the reason for the impairment. Got it. It makes sense. I think you guys touched on this in the opening comments, but just to confirm, should we consider the restructuring to be complete? U.K.? Yeah. Yeah, the U.K., yeah, that's behind us. As with this quarter, there won't be additional charges related to that business. As we noted in the commentary, we'll provide support for the orderly wind down, but that'll be done. We'll be making cash payments to support that, but there won't be any P&L impact going forward. It'll just be a reduction of the payable that we have to the administrator. Got you. I just mean generally, is there a lot more restructuring that needs to be done outside of that piece as well, or maybe just give us a little bit of an indication? You mean of the entire business? Yes. Not that I'm aware of, no. Okay. And then any plans for a buyback or anything like that? Michael, do you want to answer that? Do you like me to answer that question? The buyback. Share repurchases. On the list of topics to be discussed with the board in our next meeting. We are always evaluating that and the share count and the dilution as part of our strategy conversations. Okay. Makes sense. Are there any additional non-core parts of the business that could be divested potentially, hopefully for a gain, but is there anything that you're considering pruning at this point? Again, we are always looking at the optimization of the balance sheet in terms of asset values, core segments of growth, utilization of cash from any asset sales, or just reduction of costs, as we've been more focused on previously in terms of putting segments through administration. These are all parts of evaluations that are ongoing and continuous. The answer is yes, always, but nothing to be announced. Okay. Great. Mike, maybe you could talk a little bit about the pipeline for deals and other opportunities to grow. Yeah. The advantage I believe we have, or certainly one of the benefits of being a global business, is the fact that there are opportunities. There are cities that we do not operate in, and there are obviously opportunities globally for us to evaluate. As we've matured as a public company and as we've been growing and executing and successfully integrating teams, we have more and more proof points to explain to any prospective team, individual, or firm that might be a great strategic fit for us. The pipeline is global. Obviously, we expanded within Germany at this point. Internationally, we would like to focus on densifying the existing jurisdictions and areas in which we operate. There is a lot of business growth pipeline opportunities in the Middle East, so that is an obvious area for us that we're evaluating quite seriously. Throughout the U.S., there are a few cities and major cities that we do not currently have a presence where there are either teams to bring into the firm or potentially firms that we're evaluating as well. Great. Hopefully I'm okay to ask another question, but are there any other strategic conversations that are ongoing that we should be aware of? Thanks. Again, as a firm, we are always having internal strategic conversations about the firm, the stock price, acquisitions. As a firm, we are always evaluating the business as a whole, but there is nothing to comment on. Okay. Thank you. The next question we have is from Chris Kotowski of Oppenheimer & Co. Please go ahead. Yeah. Good afternoon. I was just wondering, the impairment that you cited, I was a little fuzzy on that. Do we see that on the intangible asset line on the balance sheet? It's not a part of an investment that was written down. It's the intangible, right? Correct. That's right. The intangible related to the investment management contract. Yeah. Okay. I was also wondering, you had, I think in the past, talked about the Contoro that had a fairly large headcount, a lot of service, and that you were trying to recruit more wealth management people there. I am just wondering if you can update us on how that's going. The integration is going very well. We have everything from tech, investment team, marketing team, all working on integration plans fully agreed by all teams. Obviously, the marketplace of Germany is a very exciting one for us. There have been some, actually, some collaborations already and some early wins that were meaningful. It is important for us to, number one, evaluate the talent within any firm or team that joins us to make sure that we understand where that talent resides within the organization. There are times where a single office or someone working within a firm and a single office can actually become elevated and be part of the global firm. We are also evaluating investment portfolios. There is a lot of integration that occurs in the first year. It is going very well. The team on the ground is very excited about it. They're very happy to be integrated. Also, we're evaluating opportunities jointly. Okay. I was wondering about the two-year timeframe. I thought I heard you say December 31, 2027 is kind of the final—shall I understand that as the final liquidation of all the U.K. assets? Does that settle any—does that timeframe incorporate any settlement of any litigation issues that might still be outstanding? Why don't I—the December of 2027 is just that's the administrator's timeline. That's what they're targeting is to complete their work in terms of resolving all the matters where they get to the liquidation of the assets and the repayment to creditors. We're not involved in that and don't have any influence on the timing of that. That's just their kind of standard operating plan. We will provide support through December of 2027, and thereafter, we will not. If the administration continues after that, we will not be obliged to. We will have provided all of our support that we're going to provide at that point. What's the nature of the— Related to the— I'm sorry, go ahead. I was going to ask, what's the nature of the support that you have to provide? We put in a funding agreement between us, and we're in the final stages of negotiating that. That funding agreement would be consistent with the payable that's on our balance sheet now that's due to a third party. When you get to read our 10-Q, this is described in a lot of detail on there. You'll see we have a payable to a third party. That third party is the administrator. We will relieve that payable by sending cash to the administrator on a set schedule, which we're, again, in the final stages of negotiating that schedule. It will be over that time of the administration, which is the next, think about it, the next eight quarters because the first payment will not be due until the first quarter of 2026. From a legal perspective, the matters that were related to the international real estate business, they are now the responsibility of the administrator. Part of the reason we took the action we did was to have those matters be then transferred to the administration. On a go-forward basis, we mitigated that exposure. Okay. Great. All right. That's it for me. Thank you. Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. I would like to turn the floor back over to Michael Tiedemann for closing comments. Thank you all for dialing in today for your interest and support. If there are any further questions, please do contact Lily Arteaga and our IR department. I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and happy holidays for the month of Advent. Cheers. That concludes today's conference. Thank you for joining us. You may now disconnect your lines.

Speaker 3: Thank you, Lily, and good afternoon, everyone. The third quarter reflects continued execution of the strategy that we have laid out, focusing the firm on our core wealth management business, simplifying the organization, and reducing structural costs so that earnings scale directly with revenue. As previously disclosed, we placed our international real estate business in administration this quarter. The business had been a drag on margins, as discussed in prior calls. The charges associated with placing it in administration will be our final restructuring charges related to it, and the business will no longer take management attention going forward. This results in cleaner financials and bottom-line improvements as we move ahead. We also moved to a single reporting segment, which provides cleaner transparency into performance and supports a more direct evaluation of operating leverage. We continue to operate from a position of strength.

Consolidated revenue for the quarter was $57 million, with approximately 95% generated by recurring management fees, and adjusted EBITDA was $6 million. Our results this quarter also include a non-cash valuation adjustment related to our interest in the arbitrage strategy. This adjustment is accounting-driven, reflecting valuation at a single point in time during a period of lower AUM. Despite this valuation adjustment, the strategy is performing well, up 7.5% through September, driven by an improved regulatory environment and strong market backdrop.

Speaker 1: Thank you, Michael, and good afternoon, everyone. Let me begin with two important structural changes that shaped our third-quarter results. First, our international real estate business being placed under administration in July qualified it to be presented as discontinued operations. As such, we have restated prior periods to isolate continued operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Second, in line with this presentation, we have unified our financial reporting into a single segment. These changes reflect our strategy to streamline and focus on our core wealth management franchise and enhance transparency, improve comparability, and better reflect the business we're building and scaling. Now, turning to the quarter, revenues for the third quarter were $57 million, up 10% year-over-year and 9% sequentially, reflecting continued momentum in our wealth management business. Growth was led by management fees of $52 million, up 7% versus last year, driven by robust asset growth.

Importantly, 95% of revenues this quarter were recurring, underscoring the durability and predictability of our model. Assets under management reached $49 billion at quarter end, up 6% year over year, fueled by strong underlying portfolio performance and the acquisition of Contoro last quarter. Sequentially, AUM increased 4%, reflecting both portfolio performance and meaningful net new asset growth. Clear evidence of the momentum Michael highlighted as a core driver of future earnings power. Operating expenses for the quarter were $86 million, up from $61 million in the prior year period. The increase was largely driven by non-recurring, non-cash charges, including a $4 million client redress provision and a $16 million write-off of receivables due from our disposed international real estate business that were formerly intercompany balances. The year-on-year increase also reflects the acquisition of Contoro. Additionally, revenues benefited from a year-over-year increase in incentive fees and the arbitrage fund. additionally revenues benefited from a year-over-year increase in incentive fees and the arbitrage fund Importantly, 95% of revenues this quarter were recurring, underscoring the durability and predictability of our model. importantly 95% of revenues this quarter were recurring underscoring the durability and predictability of our model Assets under management reached $49 billion at quarter end, up 6% year over year, fueled by strong underlying portfolio performance and the acquisition of Contoro last quarter. assets under management reached $49 billion at quarter end up 6% year over year fueled by strong underlying portfolio performance and the acquisition of contoro last quarter Sequentially, AUM increased 4%, reflecting both portfolio performance and meaningful net new asset growth. sequentially aum increased 4% reflecting both portfolio performance and meaningful net new asset growth Clear evidence of the momentum Michael highlighted as a core driver of future earnings power. clear evidence of the momentum michael highlighted as a core driver of future earnings power Operating expenses for the quarter were $86 million, up from $61 million in the prior year period. operating expenses for the quarter were $86 million up from $61 million in the prior year period The increase was largely driven by non-recurring, non-cash charges, including a $4 million client redress provision and a $16 million write-off of receivables due from our disposed international real estate business that were formerly intercompany balances. the increase was largely driven by non-recurring non-cash charges including a $4 million client redress provision and a $16 million write-off of receivables due from our disposed international real estate business that were formerly intercompany balances The year-on-year increase also reflects the acquisition of Contoro. the year-on-year increase also reflects the acquisition of contoro Including the one-time items, normalized operating expenses were $51 million versus $43 million in the third quarter of 2024. Normalized compensation expenses totaled $32 million, compared to $28 million, primarily reflecting the inclusion of Contoro and the bonus provision associated with the arbitrage incentive fee recorded this quarter. Normalized non-compensation expenses were $19 million, compared to $15 million in the prior year period, driven by Contoro's consolidation and higher professional fees and G&A expenses. Sequentially, normalized compensation expenses rose by $3 million, primarily driven by the bonus provision. In sharp contrast, non-compensation expenses decreased approximately $600,000 from the prior quarter, even after absorbing an additional month of Contoro, which contributed nearly $500,000 in cost. Excluding Contoro, the quarter-over-quarter reduction exceeds $1 million, underscoring the tangible impact of our zero-based budgeting initiative. This disciplined approach is delivering measurable savings across multiple categories, including technology, professional fees, marketing, and travel and entertainment. Including the one-time items, normalized operating expenses were $51 million versus $43 million in the third quarter of 2024. including the one-time items normalized operating expenses were $51 million versus $43 million in the third quarter of 2024 Normalized compensation expenses totaled $32 million, compared to $28 million, primarily reflecting the inclusion of Contoro and the bonus provision associated with the arbitrage incentive fee recorded this quarter. normalized compensation expenses totaled $32 million compared to $28 million primarily reflecting the inclusion of contoro and the bonus provision associated with the arbitrage incentive fee recorded this quarter Normalized non-compensation expenses were $19 million, compared to $15 million in the prior year period, driven by Contoro's consolidation and higher professional fees and G&A expenses. normalized non-compensation expenses were $19 million compared to $15 million in the prior year period driven by contoro's consolidation and higher professional fees and g&a expenses Sequentially, normalized compensation expenses rose by $3 million, primarily driven by the bonus provision. sequentially normalized compensation expenses rose by $3 million primarily driven by the bonus provision In sharp contrast, non-compensation expenses decreased approximately $600,000 from the prior quarter, even after absorbing an additional month of Contoro, which contributed nearly $500,000 in cost. in sharp contrast non-compensation expenses decreased approximately $600,000 from the prior quarter even after absorbing an additional month of contoro which contributed nearly $500,000 in cost Excluding Contoro, the quarter-over-quarter reduction exceeds $1 million, underscoring the tangible impact of our zero-based budgeting initiative. excluding contoro the quarter-over-quarter reduction exceeds $1 million underscoring the tangible impact of our zero-based budgeting initiative This disciplined approach is delivering measurable savings across multiple categories, including technology, professional fees, marketing, and travel and entertainment. this disciplined approach is delivering measurable savings across multiple categories including technology professional fees marketing and travel and entertainment Building on these results, the initiatives implemented in these categories are delivering tangible benefits and will continue to contribute meaningfully to the quarters ahead. Importantly, additional savings are expected to come online soon as we begin to realize the impact of occupancy optimization across key offices and the wind down of legacy technology and vendor contracts. Together, these efforts represent the next phase of our zero-based budgeting strategy and are central to our trajectory, reinforcing our commitment to operational discipline and positioning the company for sustained margin expansion. Other loss for the quarter was $28 million, primarily driven by $35 million non-cash impairment of the arbitrage fund. This was partly offset by gains from fair value adjustments on certain investments. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $6 million, compared to $12 million in the prior year period.

Importantly, nearly all of the $93 million in EBITDA adjustments, approximately $87 million, are non-cash in nature. Of the cash add-backs, only $1 million were non-transaction related. This is notable as it points to the normalization of the business operations going forward. The tax line this quarter reflects a non-cash charge of $30 million, including the impact of the 100% valuation allowance related to our deferred taxed asset. This adjustment was necessary due to uncertainty around future realization.

Adjusted net income, which excludes non-recurring items, was $1 million. The net loss from discontinued operations was $20 million for the quarter, reflecting the full impact of placing the international real estate division in administration. Upon deconsolidation, intercompany balances were reclassified as third-party receivables and payables.

The positive impact of our efficiency and productivity initiatives is starting to come through. As we enter the final quarter of 2025, AlTi stands on a stronger, leaner platform with a normalizing expense base, driven by organizational streamlining, zero-based budgeting implementation, and the real estate exit.

Speaker 6: Hello. Good evening, you guys. Maybe you can help me just think a little bit more about normalized EBITDA versus the $6.2 million that you guys posted in the quarter. I think you mentioned that normalized expenses were around $35 million lower than the operating expenses on a reported basis. So I do not know. Should we add that back to the EBITDA? How should we think about that? Thanks. Hello. hello Good evening, you guys. good evening you guys Maybe you can help me just think a little bit more about normalized EBITDA versus the $6.2 million that you guys posted in the quarter. maybe you can help me just think a little bit more about normalized ebitda versus the $6.2 million that you guys posted in the quarter I think you mentioned that normalized expenses were around $35 million lower than the operating expenses on a reported basis. i think you mentioned that normalized expenses were around $35 million lower than the operating expenses on a reported basis So I do not know. so i do not know Should we add that back to the EBITDA? should we add that back to the ebitda How should we think about that? how should we think about that Thanks. thanks
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take that. Yes, yeah, you should add that back. I mean, going to my comments around the adjusted EBITDA, I think that's what you should focus on. That's what's been normalized. Yeah, so we definitely add the $35 back. It's going to be non-recurring. I'm not sure I'm answering your question. Wilma, could you be more specific? Yeah, I'll take that. yeah i'll take that Yes, yeah, you should add that back. yes yeah you should add that back I mean, going to my comments around the adjusted EBITDA, I think that's what you should focus on. i mean going to my comments around the adjusted ebitda i think that's what you should focus on That's what's been normalized. that's what's been normalized Yeah, so we definitely add the $35 back. yeah so we definitely add the $35 back It's going to be non-recurring. it's going to be non-recurring I'm not sure I'm answering your question. i'm not sure i'm answering your question Wilma, could you be more specific? wilma could you be more specific
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think what I'm trying to get into a little bit more is just how we should think about a normalized level of EBITDA. I guess you've done some of the ZBB work. You've had different charges. Just any way you could help bridge me to a more normalized level of EBITDA on a go-forward basis would be helpful. Thank you. Yeah, I think what I'm trying to get into a little bit more is just how we should think about a normalized level of EBITDA. yeah i think what i'm trying to get into a little bit more is just how we should think about a normalized level of ebitda I guess you've done some of the ZBB work. i guess you've done some of the zbb work You've had different charges. you've had different charges Just any way you could help bridge me to a more normalized level of EBITDA on a go-forward basis would be helpful. just any way you could help bridge me to a more normalized level of ebitda on a go-forward basis would be helpful Thank you. thank you
Speaker 1: We're avoiding providing guidance. I think our commentary is trying to point in that direction. We've got a lot of confidence in terms of how we're managing cost and the direction that those costs are headed. As I noted in my comments, feel good about what's coming online in terms of savings. Any increases we might have, for example, when you get to the end of the year in Q1, you have merit increases, that we should be able to mute that because we're going to have offsets to that in terms of to keep that from rising. As Michael noted, the pipeline activity is very strong. The last couple of quarters, you've seen our management fees really grow over up 15% from Q1. We're avoiding providing guidance. we're avoiding providing guidance I think our commentary is trying to point in that direction. i think our commentary is trying to point in that direction We've got a lot of confidence in terms of how we're managing cost and the direction that those costs are headed. we've got a lot of confidence in terms of how we're managing cost and the direction that those costs are headed As I noted in my comments, feel good about what's coming online in terms of savings. as i noted in my comments feel good about what's coming online in terms of savings Any increases we might have, for example, when you get to the end of the year in Q1, you have merit increases, that we should be able to mute that because we're going to have offsets to that in terms of to keep that from rising. any increases we might have for example when you get to the end of the year in q1 you have merit increases that we should be able to mute that because we're going to have offsets to that in terms of to keep that from rising As Michael noted, the pipeline activity is very strong. as michael noted the pipeline activity is very strong The last couple of quarters, you've seen our management fees really grow over up 15% from Q1. the last couple of quarters you've seen our management fees really grow over up 15% from q1 The combination of those two and some other initiatives we have going on, like the pricing initiative that Michael referenced, should really lead to an expanding margin. I think we have a high degree of confidence around that outcome. Is that helpful? The combination of those two and some other initiatives we have going on, like the pricing initiative that Michael referenced, should really lead to an expanding margin. the combination of those two and some other initiatives we have going on like the pricing initiative that michael referenced should really lead to an expanding margin I think we have a high degree of confidence around that outcome. i think we have a high degree of confidence around that outcome Is that helpful? is that helpful
Speaker 6: It is helpful. I guess if I think about this year, what you guys have posted, probably for the first three quarters, something in the $40 million, maybe a little bit more than that, $40-ish million range for adjusted EBITDA. And then you have got the ZBB coming on board as well, and then some growth. Does that kind of give us a good, decent type run rate to build off of without giving guidance? It is helpful. it is helpful I guess if I think about this year, what you guys have posted, probably for the first three quarters, something in the $40 million, maybe a little bit more than that, $40-ish million range for adjusted EBITDA. i guess if i think about this year what you guys have posted probably for the first three quarters something in the $40 million maybe a little bit more than that $40-ish million range for adjusted ebitda And then you have got the ZBB coming on board as well, and then some growth. and then you have got the zbb coming on board as well and then some growth Does that kind of give us a good, decent type run rate to build off of without giving guidance? does that kind of give us a good decent type run rate to build off of without giving guidance
Speaker 1: If I was building off, I'd build off the $6 million number we were providing as adjusted and then expand off of that number, so. If I was building off, I'd build off the $6 million number we were providing as adjusted and then expand off of that number, so. if i was building off i'd build off the $6 million number we were providing as adjusted and then expand off of that number so
Speaker 6: Okay. So that's a good number as kind of a run rate then, you think, and then you're adding ZBB and growth. Okay. Okay. okay So that's a good number as kind of a run rate then, you think, and then you're adding ZBB and growth. so that's a good number as kind of a run rate then you think and then you're adding zbb and growth Okay. okay
Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. yes
Speaker 6: Got you. Thank you. That helps. You made commentary about just non-cash versus cash. Is there any way, I do not think that this is something that you guys have provided a lot of detail in the way that I can recall historically, but is there a way to back into cash flow or anything along those lines? Thanks. Got you. got you Thank you. thank you That helps. that helps You made commentary about just non-cash versus cash. you made commentary about just non-cash versus cash Is there any way, I do not think that this is something that you guys have provided a lot of detail in the way that I can recall historically, but is there a way to back into cash flow or anything along those lines? is there any way i do not think that this is something that you guys have provided a lot of detail in the way that i can recall historically but is there a way to back into cash flow or anything along those lines Thanks. thanks
Speaker 1: When our filing's made, we don't provide that in this material we have here, but when our filing's made, you'll be able to see the cash, changing cash for the period. We did consume some cash this period, so you'll see that when we file our 10-Q. On a go-forward basis, I'd expect cash or cash and our cash flow to improve just based on the performance of the business improving. When our filing's made, we don't provide that in this material we have here, but when our filing's made, you'll be able to see the cash, changing cash for the period. when our filing's made we don't provide that in this material we have here but when our filing's made you'll be able to see the cash changing cash for the period We did consume some cash this period, so you'll see that when we file our 10-Q. we did consume some cash this period so you'll see that when we file our 10-q On a go-forward basis, I'd expect cash or cash and our cash flow to improve just based on the performance of the business improving. on a go-forward basis i'd expect cash or cash and our cash flow to improve just based on the performance of the business improving
Speaker 6: Okay. Got you. Could you just go a little bit into a little bit more detail on the impairment in the arbitrage fund, which was, I think it was around $35 million? Okay. okay Got you. got you Could you just go a little bit into a little bit more detail on the impairment in the arbitrage fund, which was, I think it was around $35 million? could you just go a little bit into a little bit more detail on the impairment in the arbitrage fund which was i think it was around $35 million
Speaker 1: Sure. Yeah. The valuation that was used last September was a function of certain projections, certain assumptions that are made around the business and its performance. Part of those assumptions were certain growth rates are applied to the business. As you can see, the results for the year that assets have not grown are actually down from $930 million of 2024. That caused us to have to take a look at the assumptions that we had made around the valuation last year. We refreshed all that with new assumptions around the go-forward growth rates. When we did the math, that caused us to have to record an impairment on the business. As Michael noted, from a performance standpoint, the strategy is doing very well. It just did not grow last year. It actually shrank, in terms of AUM. It is doing very well. Sure. sure Yeah. yeah The valuation that was used last September was a function of certain projections, certain assumptions that are made around the business and its performance. the valuation that was used last september was a function of certain projections certain assumptions that are made around the business and its performance Part of those assumptions were certain growth rates are applied to the business. part of those assumptions were certain growth rates are applied to the business As you can see, the results for the year that assets have not grown are actually down from $930 million of 2024. as you can see the results for the year that assets have not grown are actually down from $930 million of 2024 That caused us to have to take a look at the assumptions that we had made around the valuation last year. that caused us to have to take a look at the assumptions that we had made around the valuation last year We refreshed all that with new assumptions around the go-forward growth rates. we refreshed all that with new assumptions around the go-forward growth rates When we did the math, that caused us to have to record an impairment on the business. when we did the math that caused us to have to record an impairment on the business As Michael noted, from a performance standpoint, the strategy is doing very well. as michael noted from a performance standpoint the strategy is doing very well It just did not grow last year. it just did not grow last year It actually shrank, in terms of AUM. it actually shrank in terms of aum It is doing very well. it is doing very well It's having one of its best years in a number of years. That is the reason for the impairment. It's having one of its best years in a number of years. it's having one of its best years in a number of years That is the reason for the impairment. that is the reason for the impairment
Speaker 6: Got it. It makes sense. I think you guys touched on this in the opening comments, but just to confirm, should we consider the restructuring to be complete? Got it. got it It makes sense. it makes sense I think you guys touched on this in the opening comments, but just to confirm, should we consider the restructuring to be complete? i think you guys touched on this in the opening comments but just to confirm should we consider the restructuring to be complete
Speaker 1: U.K.? U.K.? u.k
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah. yeah
Speaker 1: Yeah, the U.K., yeah, that's behind us. As with this quarter, there won't be additional charges related to that business. As we noted in the commentary, we'll provide support for the orderly wind down, but that'll be done. We'll be making cash payments to support that, but there won't be any P&L impact going forward. It'll just be a reduction of the payable that we have to the administrator. Yeah, the U.K., yeah, that's behind us. yeah the u.k yeah that's behind us As with this quarter, there won't be additional charges related to that business. as with this quarter there won't be additional charges related to that business As we noted in the commentary, we'll provide support for the orderly wind down, but that'll be done. as we noted in the commentary we'll provide support for the orderly wind down but that'll be done We'll be making cash payments to support that, but there won't be any P&L impact going forward. we'll be making cash payments to support that but there won't be any p&l impact going forward It'll just be a reduction of the payable that we have to the administrator. it'll just be a reduction of the payable that we have to the administrator
Speaker 6: Got you. I just mean generally, is there a lot more restructuring that needs to be done outside of that piece as well, or maybe just give us a little bit of an indication? Got you. got you I just mean generally, is there a lot more restructuring that needs to be done outside of that piece as well, or maybe just give us a little bit of an indication? i just mean generally is there a lot more restructuring that needs to be done outside of that piece as well or maybe just give us a little bit of an indication
Speaker 1: You mean of the entire business? You mean of the entire business? you mean of the entire business
Speaker 6: Yes. Yes. yes
Speaker 1: Not that I'm aware of, no. Not that I'm aware of, no. not that i'm aware of no
Speaker 6: Okay. And then any plans for a buyback or anything like that? Okay. okay And then any plans for a buyback or anything like that? and then any plans for a buyback or anything like that
Speaker 1: Michael, do you want to answer that? Do you like me to answer that question? Michael, do you want to answer that? michael do you want to answer that Do you like me to answer that question? do you like me to answer that question
Speaker 3: The buyback. The buyback. the buyback
Speaker 6: Share repurchases. Share repurchases. share repurchases
Speaker 3: On the list of topics to be discussed with the board in our next meeting. We are always evaluating that and the share count and the dilution as part of our strategy conversations.

Speaker 6: Okay. Makes sense. Are there any additional non-core parts of the business that could be divested potentially, hopefully for a gain, but is there anything that you're considering pruning at this point? Okay. okay Makes sense. makes sense Are there any additional non-core parts of the business that could be divested potentially, hopefully for a gain, but is there anything that you're considering pruning at this point? are there any additional non-core parts of the business that could be divested potentially hopefully for a gain but is there anything that you're considering pruning at this point
Speaker 3: Again, we are always looking at the optimization of the balance sheet in terms of asset values, core segments of growth, utilization of cash from any asset sales, or just reduction of costs, as we've been more focused on previously in terms of putting segments through administration. These are all parts of evaluations that are ongoing and continuous. The answer is yes, always, but nothing to be announced. Again, we are always looking at the optimization of the balance sheet in terms of asset values, core segments of growth, utilization of cash from any asset sales, or just reduction of costs, as we've been more focused on previously in terms of putting segments through administration. again we are always looking at the optimization of the balance sheet in terms of asset values core segments of growth utilization of cash from any asset sales or just reduction of costs as we've been more focused on previously in terms of putting segments through administration These are all parts of evaluations that are ongoing and continuous. these are all parts of evaluations that are ongoing and continuous The answer is yes, always, but nothing to be announced. the answer is yes always but nothing to be announced
Speaker 6: Okay. Great. Mike, maybe you could talk a little bit about the pipeline for deals and other opportunities to grow. Okay. okay Great. great Mike, maybe you could talk a little bit about the pipeline for deals and other opportunities to grow. mike maybe you could talk a little bit about the pipeline for deals and other opportunities to grow
Speaker 3: Yeah. The advantage I believe we have, or certainly one of the benefits of being a global business, is the fact that there are opportunities. There are cities that we do not operate in, and there are obviously opportunities globally for us to evaluate. As we've matured as a public company and as we've been growing and executing and successfully integrating teams, we have more and more proof points to explain to any prospective team, individual, or firm that might be a great strategic fit for us. The pipeline is global. Obviously, we expanded within Germany at this point. Internationally, we would like to focus on densifying the existing jurisdictions and areas in which we operate. There is a lot of business growth pipeline opportunities in the Middle East, so that is an obvious area for us that we're evaluating quite seriously. Yeah. yeah The advantage I believe we have, or certainly one of the benefits of being a global business, is the fact that there are opportunities. the advantage i believe we have or certainly one of the benefits of being a global business is the fact that there are opportunities There are cities that we do not operate in, and there are obviously opportunities globally for us to evaluate. there are cities that we do not operate in and there are obviously opportunities globally for us to evaluate As we've matured as a public company and as we've been growing and executing and successfully integrating teams, we have more and more proof points to explain to any prospective team, individual, or firm that might be a great strategic fit for us. as we've matured as a public company and as we've been growing and executing and successfully integrating teams we have more and more proof points to explain to any prospective team individual or firm that might be a great strategic fit for us The pipeline is global. the pipeline is global Obviously, we expanded within Germany at this point. obviously we expanded within germany at this point Internationally, we would like to focus on densifying the existing jurisdictions and areas in which we operate.

Throughout the U.S., there are a few cities and major cities that we do not currently have a presence where there are either teams to bring into the firm or potentially firms that we're evaluating as well. throughout the u.s there are a few cities and major cities that we do not currently have a presence where there are either teams to bring into the firm or potentially firms that we're evaluating as well
Speaker 6: Great. Hopefully I'm okay to ask another question, but are there any other strategic conversations that are ongoing that we should be aware of? Thanks. Great. great Hopefully I'm okay to ask another question, but are there any other strategic conversations that are ongoing that we should be aware of? hopefully i'm okay to ask another question but are there any other strategic conversations that are ongoing that we should be aware of Thanks. thanks
Speaker 3: Again, as a firm, we are always having internal strategic conversations about the firm, the stock price, acquisitions. As a firm, we are always evaluating the business as a whole, but there is nothing to comment on.

Please go ahead. the next question we have is from chris kotowski of oppenheimer & co please go ahead
Speaker 5: Yeah. Good afternoon. I was just wondering, the impairment that you cited, I was a little fuzzy on that. Do we see that on the intangible asset line on the balance sheet? It's not a part of an investment that was written down. It's the intangible, right? Yeah. yeah Good afternoon. good afternoon I was just wondering, the impairment that you cited, I was a little fuzzy on that. i was just wondering the impairment that you cited i was a little fuzzy on that Do we see that on the intangible asset line on the balance sheet? do we see that on the intangible asset line on the balance sheet It's not a part of an investment that was written down. it's not a part of an investment that was written down It's the intangible, right? it's the intangible right
Speaker 3: Correct. That's right. The intangible related to the investment management contract. Yeah. Correct. correct That's right. that's right The intangible related to the investment management contract. the intangible related to the investment management contract Yeah. yeah
Speaker 5: Okay. I was also wondering, you had, I think in the past, talked about the Contoro that had a fairly large headcount, a lot of service, and that you were trying to recruit more wealth management people there. I am just wondering if you can update us on how that's going. Okay. okay I was also wondering, you had, I think in the past, talked about the Contoro that had a fairly large headcount, a lot of service, and that you were trying to recruit more wealth management people there. i was also wondering you had i think in the past talked about the contoro that had a fairly large headcount a lot of service and that you were trying to recruit more wealth management people there I am just wondering if you can update us on how that's going. i am just wondering if you can update us on how that's going
Speaker 3: The integration is going very well. We have everything from tech, investment team, marketing team, all working on integration plans fully agreed by all teams. Obviously, the marketplace of Germany is a very exciting one for us. There have been some, actually, some collaborations already and some early wins that were meaningful. It is important for us to, number one, evaluate the talent within any firm or team that joins us to make sure that we understand where that talent resides within the organization. There are times where a single office or someone working within a firm and a single office can actually become elevated and be part of the global firm. We are also evaluating investment portfolios. There is a lot of integration that occurs in the first year. It is going very well. The team on the ground is very excited about it. The integration is going very well. the integration is going very well We have everything from tech, investment team, marketing team, all working on integration plans fully agreed by all teams. we have everything from tech investment team marketing team all working on integration plans fully agreed by all teams Obviously, the marketplace of Germany is a very exciting one for us. obviously the marketplace of germany is a very exciting one for us There have been some, actually, some collaborations already and some early wins that were meaningful. there have been some actually some collaborations already and some early wins that were meaningful It is important for us to, number one, evaluate the talent within any firm or team that joins us to make sure that we understand where that talent resides within the organization. it is important for us to number one evaluate the talent within any firm or team that joins us to make sure that we understand where that talent resides within the organization There are times where a single office or someone working within a firm and a single office can actually become elevated and be part of the global firm. there are times where a single office or someone working within a firm and a single office can actually become elevated and be part of the global firm We are also evaluating investment portfolios.

Also, we're evaluating opportunities jointly. They're very happy to be integrated. they're very happy to be integrated Also, we're evaluating opportunities jointly. also we're evaluating opportunities jointly
Speaker 5: Okay. I was wondering about the two-year timeframe. I thought I heard you say December 31, 2027 is kind of the final—shall I understand that as the final liquidation of all the U.K. assets? Does that settle any—does that timeframe incorporate any settlement of any litigation issues that might still be outstanding? Okay. okay I was wondering about the two-year timeframe. i was wondering about the two-year timeframe I thought I heard you say December 31, 2027 is kind of the final—shall I understand that as the final liquidation of all the U.K. assets? i thought i heard you say december 31 2027 is kind of the final—shall i understand that as the final liquidation of all the u.k assets Does that settle any—does that timeframe incorporate any settlement of any litigation issues that might still be outstanding? does that settle any—does that timeframe incorporate any settlement of any litigation issues that might still be outstanding
Speaker 3: Why don't I—the December of 2027 is just that's the administrator's timeline. That's what they're targeting is to complete their work in terms of resolving all the matters where they get to the liquidation of the assets and the repayment to creditors. We're not involved in that and don't have any influence on the timing of that. That's just their kind of standard operating plan. We will provide support through December of 2027, and thereafter, we will not. If the administration continues after that, we will not be obliged to. We will have provided all of our support that we're going to provide at that point. Why don't I—the December of 2027 is just that's the administrator's timeline. why don't i—the december of 2027 is just that's the administrator's timeline That's what they're targeting is to complete their work in terms of resolving all the matters where they get to the liquidation of the assets and the repayment to creditors. that's what they're targeting is to complete their work in terms of resolving all the matters where they get to the liquidation of the assets and the repayment to creditors We're not involved in that and don't have any influence on the timing of that. we're not involved in that and don't have any influence on the timing of that That's just their kind of standard operating plan. that's just their kind of standard operating plan We will provide support through December of 2027, and thereafter, we will not. we will provide support through december of 2027 and thereafter we will not If the administration continues after that, we will not be obliged to. if the administration continues after that we will not be obliged to We will have provided all of our support that we're going to provide at that point. we will have provided all of our support that we're going to provide at that point
Speaker 5: What's the nature of the— What's the nature of the— what's the nature of the—
Speaker 3: Related to the— Related to the— related to the—
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, go ahead. I was going to ask, what's the nature of the support that you have to provide? I'm sorry, go ahead. i'm sorry go ahead I was going to ask, what's the nature of the support that you have to provide? i was going to ask what's the nature of the support that you have to provide
Speaker 3: We put in a funding agreement between us, and we're in the final stages of negotiating that. That funding agreement would be consistent with the payable that's on our balance sheet now that's due to a third party. When you get to read our 10-Q, this is described in a lot of detail on there. You'll see we have a payable to a third party. That third party is the administrator. We will relieve that payable by sending cash to the administrator on a set schedule, which we're, again, in the final stages of negotiating that schedule. It will be over that time of the administration, which is the next, think about it, the next eight quarters because the first payment will not be due until the first quarter of 2026. We put in a funding agreement between us, and we're in the final stages of negotiating that. we put in a funding agreement between us and we're in the final stages of negotiating that That funding agreement would be consistent with the payable that's on our balance sheet now that's due to a third party. that funding agreement would be consistent with the payable that's on our balance sheet now that's due to a third party When you get to read our 10-Q, this is described in a lot of detail on there. when you get to read our 10-q this is described in a lot of detail on there You'll see we have a payable to a third party. you'll see we have a payable to a third party That third party is the administrator. that third party is the administrator We will relieve that payable by sending cash to the administrator on a set schedule, which we're, again, in the final stages of negotiating that schedule. we will relieve that payable by sending cash to the administrator on a set schedule which we're again in the final stages of negotiating that schedule It will be over that time of the administration, which is the next, think about it, the next eight quarters because the first payment will not be due until the first quarter of 2026. it will be over that time of the administration which is the next think about it the next eight quarters because the first payment will not be due until the first quarter of 2026 From a legal perspective, the matters that were related to the international real estate business, they are now the responsibility of the administrator. Part of the reason we took the action we did was to have those matters be then transferred to the administration. On a go-forward basis, we mitigated that exposure. From a legal perspective, the matters that were related to the international real estate business, they are now the responsibility of the administrator. from a legal perspective the matters that were related to the international real estate business they are now the responsibility of the administrator Part of the reason we took the action we did was to have those matters be then transferred to the administration. part of the reason we took the action we did was to have those matters be then transferred to the administration On a go-forward basis, we mitigated that exposure. on a go-forward basis we mitigated that exposure
