Key Growth Aspects

• Strong Growth in Assets and Diversified Net Inflows: The company delivered robust asset growth in the third quarter of 2025, with total assets under management (AUM) reaching USD 13.5 trillion, reflecting a 17% increase compared with the prior year. This expansion was supported by total quarterly net inflows of USD 205 billion, including USD 171 billion in long-term flows and USD 34 billion in cash management inflows. The strength of flows was broad-based across client categories and investment strategies, with iShares ETFs achieving record demand and surpassing USD 5 trillion in AUM. Private markets and cash strategies also contributed meaningfully to net inflows, underscoring the breadth and resilience of the company’s multi-asset platform.
• Revenue Expansion Supported by Fee Momentum and Technology Growth: Revenue performance in the quarter demonstrated strong operating momentum, with total revenue increasing 25% year-over-year to USD 6.5 billion. This growth was driven primarily by higher investment advisory and administration fees, reflecting both favorable market beta and sustained organic base-fee growth of 10% in the period and 8% over the past twelve months. Additional revenue uplift came from transaction-related private markets fees and higher technology services and subscription income. Securities lending revenue also increased by 36% year-over-year, further supporting the expansion in recurring fee-based revenues.
• Profitability Impacted by Acquisition-Related Expenses: On a GAAP basis, operating income declined 3% year-over-year to USD 2.0 billion, and diluted earnings per share decreased 23% to USD 8.43. These results were significantly affected by higher non-cash acquisition-related and integration expenses, particularly those associated with recently closed transactions. When adjusted to exclude such non-recurring items, operating income rose 23% to USD 2.6 billion and the operating margin reached 44.6%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were broadly stable at USD 11.55, reflecting both solid operational performance and the effect of a higher share count following recent acquisitions.
• Operational Execution Supported by Platform Scale and Client Demand: Operationally, the company continued to benefit from its globally diversified client franchise and its integrated product ecosystem. The platform experienced accelerating client engagement across public and private markets, with notable strength in systematic strategies, digital assets, private credit, outsourcing mandates and ETF products. The successful completion of the HPS Investment Partners acquisition added approximately USD 165 billion of client AUM and strengthened the firm’s capabilities in private credit, enhancing its private markets offering and positioning it for continued fundraising momentum.
• Positioned for Sustained Long-Term Growth: Management highlighted that increasing client adoption of comprehensive portfolio and technology solutions remains a key strategic driver. The Aladdin technology platform and data analytics continue to support institutional outsourcing mandates and deepen client relationships globally. With AUM at record levels and new asset milestones achieved across ETFs and cash investments, the firm enters its seasonally strong fourth quarter with increasing momentum, underpinned by a unified public-private investment model and a disciplined capital-allocation framework.
