N/M – Not Meaningful

(1) See the information beginning on page 10 for reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures and other important disclosures. As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 17, 2026, certain non-GAAP financial measures now include tax benefits realized on amortization of goodwill and intangible assets. Prior-period non-GAAP measures are presented on a consistent basis to show comparability.

Earnings Summary

The company presents U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP earnings information in this release. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented reflect the company’s operating results from providing investment management and related services to individuals and institutions and uses these measures to evaluate financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures.

Total assets under management of $152.2 billion at June 30, 2026 increased from $149.0 billion in the prior quarter due to market performance and positive net flows in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and wealth management, partially offset by net outflows in other products. In addition, the company provided services to $1.7 billion of other fee-earning assets that are not included in assets under management.

Total sales increased 5% to $6.1 billion from $5.8 billion in the prior quarter due to higher institutional, wealth management, and ETF sales. Institutional sales of $2.2 billion increased from $1.2 billion primarily reflecting a large inflow into a global listed real estate strategy. Retail separate account sales of $1.2 billion declined from $1.4 billion as lower intermediary-sold sales were partially offset by higher wealth management. Open-end fund sales, including $0.6 billion of ETFs, decreased 14% to $2.6 billion due to lower sales of U.S. retail and global funds.

Net flows of ($5.6) billion improved meaningfully from ($8.4) billion in the prior quarter, with net outflows due to quality-oriented equity strategies partially offset by positive net flows in alternatives, fixed income, and multi-asset. Institutional net flows of ($0.7) billion improved from ($3.2) billion due to higher sales and lower redemptions. Retail separate account net flows of ($3.1) billion compared with ($3.9) billion and included positive wealth management net flows. Open-end fund net flows of ($1.8) billion compared with ($1.3) billion in the prior quarter with net outflows largely due to quality-oriented equity strategies. ETF net flows were $0.3 billion.

GAAP Results

Operating income of $27.3 million increased from $15.4 million in the prior quarter reflecting a 1% increase in revenues primarily due to higher investment management fees and a decrease in operating expenses. The lower operating expenses were primarily due to the impact of prior quarter employment expense seasonality in addition to lower other operating expenses.

Net income attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. of $6.68 per diluted share included $2.65 of realized and unrealized gains on investments, $0.50 of fair value adjustments to minority interests, and $0.49 of fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, partially offset by ($0.16) of tax adjustments, ($0.09) of restructuring, and ($0.03) of acquisition and integration costs. Net income per diluted share of $1.05 in the prior quarter included ($1.69) of realized and unrealized losses on investments, ($0.62) of acquisition and integration costs, ($0.32) of restructuring and severance, ($0.22) of tax adjustments, and ($0.05) of fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, partially offset by $0.21 of fair value adjustments to minority interests.

The effective tax rate of 16% decreased from 54% in the prior quarter reflecting the meaningful sequential change from unrealized losses in the prior quarter to unrealized gains.

Non-GAAP Results

Revenues, as adjusted, of $183.6 million increased 1% from $182.3 million in the prior quarter primarily due to a higher average fee rate partially offset by lower average assets under management.

Employment expenses, as adjusted, of $102.1 million decreased from $106.2 million due to prior quarter seasonal items partially offset by the full quarter impact of Keystone National Group (Keystone) and $3.8 million for a discrete non-cash expense item. The discrete item related to multi-year stock-based awards primarily due to required acceleration of awards to retirement-eligible employees. Other operating expenses, as adjusted, of $31.9 million increased from $30.6 million in the prior quarter due to the $0.7 million annual equity grant to the Board of Directors and a full quarter of Keystone.

Operating income, as adjusted, of $47.9 million and the related margin of 26.1% increased from $43.8 million and 24.0%, respectively, due to prior quarter seasonal expenses and higher revenues, partially offset by the discrete expense item.

Net income attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., as adjusted, per diluted share of $5.54, which included $0.43 from the discrete expense item, increased from $5.38 in the prior quarter primarily reflecting the prior quarter seasonal items and higher revenues.

The effective tax rate, as adjusted, of 13% was relatively unchanged from the prior quarter.

Gross debt at June 30, 2026 was $427 million, down from $448 million primarily due to a $20 million repayment of the amount drawn on the company’s revolving credit facility. Net debt declined to $251 million, or 0.9x EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations

(in thousands except per share data)

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release differ from financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a result of the reclassification of certain income statement items, as well as the exclusion of certain expenses and other items that are not reflective of the earnings generated from providing investment management and related services. Management uses these measures to evaluate the company’s financial performance and operational decision-making. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented together with directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors and other interested parties to provide additional insight, promote transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management. Please see the Notes to Reconciliations on page 13 for additional information on how these measures reflect the company’s operating results. Non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures. Also, the non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release may not be comparable to the similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following are reconciliations and related notes of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure:

Notes to Reconciliations:

1. Consolidated investment products – Revenues and expenses generated by operating activities of mutual funds and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) that are consolidated in the financial statements. Management believes that excluding these operating activities to reflect net revenues and expenses of the company prior to the consolidation of these products is consistent with the approach of reflecting its operating results from managing third-party client assets.

Revenue Related

2. Investment management/Distribution and service fees – Each of these revenue line items is reduced to exclude fees passed through to third-party retail client intermediaries who maintain the client relationship and are responsible for distributing company sponsored investment products and servicing the client. The amount of fees fluctuates each period, based on a predetermined percentage of the value of assets under management, and varies based on the type of investment product. The specific adjustments are as follows:

Investment management fees – Based on specific agreements, the portion of investment management fees passed through to third-party intermediaries for services to investors in sponsored investment products.

Distribution and service fees – Based on distinct arrangements, fees collected by the company then passed through to third-party client intermediaries for services to investors in sponsored investment products. The adjustment represents all of the company’s distribution and service fees that are recorded as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that do not utilize third-party client intermediaries.

Expense Related

3. Distributions to minority interests – Earnings allocated and distributed to limited partners of a majority owned manager are recorded as employment expenses and other expense in the financial statements. Management believes reclassifying these earnings distributions to noncontrolling interests to reflect these payments as non-operating earnings distributions aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset managers that do not have majority-owned managers.

4. Distribution and other asset-based expenses – Primarily payments to third-party client intermediaries for providing services to investors in sponsored investment products. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that do not utilize third-party client intermediaries.

5. Goodwill and intangible assets – Non-cash amortization expense or impairment expense, if any, attributable to acquisition-related goodwill and intangible assets, including any portion that is allocated to noncontrolling interests, and the economic tax benefit realized on amortization of such assets. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions as well as comparing prior periods.

6. Restructuring expense – Certain non-recurring expenses associated with restructuring the business, including lease abandonment-related expenses and severance costs associated with staff reductions that are not reflective of ongoing earnings generation of the business. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the Company’s operating results with prior periods.

7. Deferred compensation and related investments – Compensation expense, gains and losses (realized and unrealized), and interest and dividend income related to deferred compensation and related balance sheet investments. Market performance of deferred compensation plans and related investments can vary significantly from period to period. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the Company’s operating results with prior periods.

8. Acquisition and integration expenses – Expenses that are directly related to acquisition and integration activities. Acquisition expenses include certain transaction related employment expenses, closing costs, professional fees, and financing fees as well as any change in the fair value of contingent consideration. Integration expenses include costs incurred that are attributable to combining businesses, including compensation, restructuring expense, professional fees, consulting fees, and other expenses. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the Company’s operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions.

9. Other – Certain expenses that are not reflective of the ongoing earnings generation of the business. Employment expenses and noncontrolling interests are adjusted to exclude fair value measurements of investment manager minority interests. Other operating expenses are adjusted for non-capitalized debt issuance costs, amortization of lease termination fees and transition related expense (benefit). Interest expense is adjusted to remove gains on early extinguishment of debt and the write-off of previously capitalized costs in connection with a debt modification. Income tax expense (benefit) items are adjusted for uncertain tax positions, changes in tax law, valuation allowances, and other unusual or infrequent items not related to current operating results to reflect a normalized effective rate. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the Company’s operating results with prior periods.

Seed Capital and CLO Related

10. Seed capital and CLO investments (gains) losses – Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) of seed capital and CLO investments. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) generated by seed capital and CLO investments can vary significantly from period to period and do not reflect the Company’s operating results from providing investment management and related services. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the Company’s operating results with prior periods and with other asset management firms that do not have meaningful seed capital and CLO investments.
