Giving Back to Society – $75 million since IPO

Since our initial public offering in February 1999, our firm’s combined charitable donations total approximately $75 million, including $48 million through the shareholder designated charitable contribution program. Based on the program created by Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway, our corporate charitable giving is unique in that the recipients of GAMI’s charitable contributions are chosen directly by our shareholders, rather than by our corporate officers. Since its inception in 2013, GAMI shareholders have designated charitable gifts to approximately 350 charitable organizations.

On August 6, 2024, the board of directors authorized the creation of a private foundation to continue our charitable giving program. The foundation will be funded with a $5.0 million contribution.

Revenue

(In thousands) Â Three Months Ended Â
  June 30, 2024  June 30, 2023 Â
Investment advisory and incentive fees     Â
   Funds  $ 37,909  $ 37,480 Â
   Institutional and Private Wealth Management   15,377   15,222 Â
   SICAV   4   1,704 Â
      Total  $ 53,290  $ 54,406 Â
Distribution fees and other income   4,354   4,765 Â
      Total revenue  $ 57,644  $ 59,171 Â
     Â

The quarter over quarter increase in Funds and Institutional and Private Wealth Management revenues was primarily the result of higher average equity assets under management. The drop in SICAV revenues reflects a change in the revenue share for the merger arbitrage SICAV (an open-end fund available to non-U.S. shareholders). The change better aligns the economics with the responsibilities of managing the fund. 

Expenses

(In thousands) Â Three Months Ended Â
  June 30, 2024  June 30, 2023 Â
Compensation  $ 29,006  $ 28,056 Â
Management fee   2,021   2,197 Â
Distribution costs   5,709   6,369 Â
Other operating expenses   5,258   6,057 Â
   Total expenses  $ 41,994  $ 42,679 Â
     Â

  • The higher compensation expense in the second quarter of 2024 reflected $1.5 million higher stock-based compensation, partially offset by $0.4 million lower variable compensation.
  • The $0.2 million decrease in management fee is attributable to the lower pre-management fee income of $1.8 million; and,
  • Other operating expenses this quarter were lower versus the second quarter of 2023 reflecting the change in the agreement for merger arbitrage SICAV.

Operating Margin

The operating margin, which represents the ratio of operating income to revenue, was 27.1% for the second quarter of 2024 compared with 27.9% for the second quarter of 2023.

Non-Operating Income

(In thousands) Â Three Months Ended Â
  June 30, 2024  June 30, 2023 Â
Gain / (loss) from investments, net  $ 99   $ 1,616  Â
Interest and dividend income   2,726    1,958  Â
Interest expense   (290 )   (293 ) Â
   Total non-operating income  $ 2,535   $ 3,281  Â
     Â

Non-operating income decreased $0.7 million for the quarter, reflecting the lower mark-to-market values on our investment portfolio for the quarter offset by increased interest and dividend income due to higher interest rates.

Other Financial Highlights

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 17.4% versus 26.1% for the second quarter of 2023. The lower effective income tax rate for the 2024 second quarter reflects reversals of uncertain tax accruals from prior periods.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $232.3 million with no debt at June 30, 2024.
