2025 Annual Earnings Highlights

Key Highlights

GAAP Operating Income Surge GAAP Operating Income reached $604.1 M, marking a significant 48% increase compared to $407.6 M reported last year.
Total AUM Stability Maintained Total Assets Under Management stood at $1,661.2 B as of September 30, 2025, a slight 1% decrease from prior year levels.
Investment Fee Revenue Growth Investment management fees grew 2% to $6,981.8 M, driven partly by the full year contribution from the Putnam acquisition.
Diluted EPS Improvement Diluted Earnings Per Share rose 7% to $0.91 for fiscal year 2025, reflecting improved GAAP net income results year-over-year.

Risk Factors

Asset Mix Fee Pressure Shift in AUM mix towards lower-fee products like Fixed Income may negatively impact overall revenue and income levels going forward.
Global Regulatory Complexity Subject to extensive, complex, and frequently changing global regulations imposing significant operational and cost burdens across jurisdictions.
Third-Party Operational Failures Dependency on third-party providers for critical operations creates risk of disruption, financial loss, or reputational harm from their failures.
Fund Liquidity Risks Funds face liquidity risks requiring potential forced security sales at loss due to market volatility or large redemption events.

Outlook

Focus on Investment Performance Commitment remains focused on long-term investment performance across asset classes to attract and retain Assets Under Management.
Integrating Recent Acquisitions Continuing integration efforts following recent acquisitions, including Putnam and Apera Asset Management, into the global structure.
Technology and AI Investment Strategic investment in technology platform upgrades and evaluating the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence for operational efficiencies.
Managing Tax Law Changes Evaluating impact of new legislation, like the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, on effective tax rate and future financial planning.
