GAAP net income attributable to Ares Management Corporation was $47.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. On a basic and diluted basis, net income attributable to Ares Management Corporation per share of Class A and non-voting common stock was $0.00 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

 “We reported strong first quarter results with robust fundraising and investing activities, 20% or more year-over-year growth in many of our key financial metrics and assets under management that surpassed a half a trillion dollars,” said Michael Arougheti, Chief Executive Officer of Ares. "We are also pleased with the initial integration progress for our recently closed and highly strategic acquisition of GCP International, which significantly bolsters our Real Assets business.” 

 “With a record amount of assets under management not yet paying fees of nearly $100 billion, we remain well positioned to make attractive investments in a volatile market environment,” said Jarrod Phillips, Chief Financial Officer of Ares. “We have a history of resilient growth during market dislocations as our management fee centric and asset-light business model enables us to perform well through market cycles.”
