Ares preliminarily guides Q3 2026 realized net performance income to ~$10M, up from $9M a year earlier
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Preliminary realized net performance income for the quarter ending September 30, 2026 estimated at approximately $10 million, versus $9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
- Realized net performance income is a non-GAAP component of realized income that management uses to evaluate operating performance and segment contributions.
- Ares said it cannot reconcile the non-GAAP figure to GAAP without unreasonable effort because Q3 financial closing procedures are not yet complete.
- Actual Q3 2026 results may differ, possibly materially, from the estimate; investors are directed to the full results in the quarterly report for the period ending September 30, 2026.
- Estimate disclosed under Regulation FD and signed by CFO Jarrod Phillips on September 30, 2026.
