Ares Management Revises Expected Performance Income for Q1 2026

Ares Management Corporation anticipates realized net performance income of approximately $75 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, which is an increase from $41 million reported for the same quarter in 2025. This preliminary figure is lower than the previously expected $100 million due to delays in income realization from certain European-style funds, which are now projected for future quarters in the full year ending December 31, 2026.

For the full year ending December 31, 2026, Ares Management continues to expect to achieve over $350 million in realized net performance income, up from $169 million for the full year ended December 31, 2025. Investors are advised that the preliminary estimates are subject to change, and actual results may differ significantly from these expectations. The company cautions against undue reliance on this information until the complete quarterly results are disclosed.
