SEC filingRevenue grew 10.5% to $57.2M in Q3 2025, but net loss widened to $87.0M due to $35M impairment and higher costs.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, total revenues increased 10.5% to $57.2 million from $51.8 million in the prior-year period. The growth was primarily driven by a $3.6 million increase in management/advisory fees, reflecting higher AUM from strong equity market performance, and a $2.3 million surge in incentive fees as TIG Arbitrage redemptions crystallized fees. Distributions from investments decreased $0.5 million due to lower management fee distributions from Asian Credit and European Equities strategies.
Operating expenses rose sharply to $85.7 million from $61.3 million, largely due to a $21.1 million increase in non-compensation expenses, which included $16.3 million in non-recurring bad debt and redress provisions. Compensation expenses also increased $3.3 million from acquisition-driven costs and organizational streamlining initiatives. Other income/expenses improved by $38.9 million, primarily because the prior year included a $74.3 million goodwill and intangible impairment versus a $35.0 million intangible impairment in the current year. The net loss from continuing operations widened to $87.0 million from $67.4 million, and Adjusted EBITDA fell to $6.2 million from $11.8 million.
The company operates through a single reporting segment combining wealth management and alternative investments. Within wealth management, AUM grew to $47.7 billion at September 30, 2025, up from $44.7 billion a year earlier, driven by $1.7 billion in market appreciation partially offset by net outflows. The alternatives platform showed mixed performance: TIG Arbitrage AUM declined to $1.7 billion from $2.0 billion a year ago due to redemptions, while external strategic managers' AUA grew to $5.4 billion from $5.2 billion, led by European Equities. Revenue mix shifted favorably toward higher-margin incentive fees, though management fees remain the dominant revenue source.
Management did not provide specific financial guidance but highlighted ongoing monitoring of macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, inflation, and market conditions. The company expects continued cost synergy benefits from organizational streamlining initiatives, though these contributed significant one-time expenses in the current period. With the debt repaid and liquidity enhanced by recent equity investments, the company is positioned to pursue strategic acquisitions and organic growth through its wealth management platform. The uncertain impact of tariffs and sustained market volatility on client assets and fee income remains a key risk.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, AlTi Global reported a net loss from continuing operations of $(109.0) million, while net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $(53.5) million. The divergence is primarily due to non-cash charges including depreciation and amortization ($13.7M), impairment of goodwill and intangible assets ($35.0M), equity-settled share-based payments ($26.5M), and deferred tax expense ($22.7M), partially offset by fair value gains on earnout liability ($9.9M) and unrealized gains on investments ($3.7M). Working capital changes consumed cash, notably a decrease in accrued compensation and profit sharing ($14.8M) and an increase in fees receivable ($4.4M).
Capital expenditures (purchases of fixed assets) were minimal at $(0.8) million, indicating low capex intensity. Free cash flow (not explicitly stated) would be approximately $(54.3) million after subtracting capex from operating cash flow. No share repurchases or dividends were paid. The company raised $18.5 million from issuance of preferred stock and warrants, and made earnout payments of $7.6 million. Overall, cash generation remains negative, with operating cash flow significantly worse than the prior year period ($(53.5)M vs $(16.4)M), driven by larger net losses and adverse working capital movements.
