AlTi Global, Inc. (ALTI) Q3 2025 Earnings Call Transcript
Consolidated Revenue $57 million, up 10% year-over-year and 9% sequentially, driven by continued momentum in the Wealth Management business. Growth was led by management fees of $52 million, up 7% versus last year, due to robust asset growth and an increase in incentive fees in the arbitrage fund.
Assets Under Management (AUM) $49 billion at quarter end, up 6% year-over-year and 4% sequentially, fueled by strong portfolio performance and the acquisition of Kontora last quarter.
Operating Expenses $86 million, up from $61 million in the prior year period. The increase was largely driven by nonrecurring noncash charges, including a $4 million client redress provision and a $16 million write-off of receivables due from the disposed international real estate business. Excluding onetime items, normalized operating expenses were $51 million versus $43 million in the third quarter of 2024.
Normalized Compensation Expenses $32 million compared to $28 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting the inclusion of Kontora and the bonus provision associated with the arbitrage incentive fee.
Normalized Non-Compensation Expenses $19 million compared to $15 million in the prior year period, driven by Kontora's consolidation and higher professional fees and G&A expenses.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA $6 million compared to $12 million in the prior year period. The decrease reflects the full impact of Kontora, adding approximately $3 million in normalized costs, alongside higher professional fees and G&A expenses.
Net Loss (GAAP Basis) $107 million for the quarter, primarily reflecting noncash nonrecurring charges related to the exit of the international real estate business, the impairment of the arbitrage intangible, and the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset.
Adjusted Net Income $1 million, excluding nonrecurring items.
