As a result, HLI consolidates HLA’s financial results and reports a non-controlling interest ("NCI") related to the portion of HLA units not owned by HLI. The assets and liabilities of HLA represent substantially all of HLI’s consolidated assets and liabilities with the exception of certain cash, certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, payables to related parties pursuant to a tax receivable agreement, and dividends payable. Unless otherwise specified, “the Company” refers to the consolidated entity of HLI, HLA and subsidiaries throughout the remainder of these notes. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, HLI held approximately 73.6% of the economic interest in HLA. As future exchanges of HLA units occur pursuant to the exchange agreement, the economic interest in HLA held by HLI will increase.

HLA is a registered investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), providing asset management and advisory services, primarily to institutional investors, to design, build and manage private markets portfolios. HLA generates revenues primarily from management and advisory fees, comprised of specialized fund and customized separate account management fees, advisory and reporting fees and distribution management fees and, to a lesser extent, incentive fees, comprised of carried interest earned from our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts structured as single-client funds in which we have a general partner commitment, and performance fees earned on certain other specialized funds and customized separate accounts. HLA sponsors the formation, and serves as the general partner or managing member, of various limited liability partnerships consisting of specialized funds and certain single client separate account entities (“Partnerships”) that acquire interests in third-party managed investment funds that make private equity and equity-related investments. The Partnerships may also make direct investments, including investments in debt, equity, and other equity-based instruments. The Company, which includes certain subsidiaries that serve as the general partner or managing member of the Partnerships, may invest its own capital in the Partnerships and generally makes all investment and operating decisions for the Partnerships. HLA operates several wholly owned entities through which it conducts its foreign operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (which consisted of only normal recurring items) so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in HLI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Accounting for Differing Fiscal Periods

The Partnerships primarily have a fiscal year end as of December 31, and the Company accounts for its investments in the Partnerships using a three-month lag due to the timing of financial information received from the investments held by the Partnerships. The Partnerships primarily invest in private equity funds, which generally require at least 90 days following the calendar year end to present audited financial statements. The Company records its share of capital contributions to and distributions from the Partnerships in investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the three-month lag period.

The results of the consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) are reported on a three-month lag, due to the timing of the receipt of related financial statements.

The Company’s revenue earned from Partnerships, including both management and advisory fee revenue and incentive fee revenue, is not accounted for on a lag.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below:

•Level 1: Values are determined using quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market.

•Level 2: Values are determined using quoted prices for similar financial instruments and valuation models whose inputs are observable.

•Level 3: Values are determined using pricing models that use significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company uses these levels of hierarchy to measure the fair value of certain financial instruments on a recurring basis, such as for investments; on a non-recurring basis, such as for acquisitions and impairment testing; for disclosure purposes, such as for long-term debt; and for other applications, as discussed in their respective notes.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, fees receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06 - Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this ASU incorporate 14 of the 27 disclosure requirements published in SEC Release No. 33-10532 - Disclosure Update and Simplification into various topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The amendments represent clarifications to, or technical corrections of, current requirements. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. Early adoption is prohibited. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU enhances segment disclosures primarily around significant segment expenses for both interim and annual periods. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require disclosures about certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order to stay the rules pending the completion of judicial review of multiple petitions challenging the rules. The rules, if implemented, would require information about a registrant’s climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks will also include disclosure of a registrant’s greenhouse gas emissions, if material. In addition, the rules will require registrants to present certain climate-related financial metrics in their audited financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements should the rules be implemented.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has issued Pillar Two model rules introducing a new global minimum tax of 15%. While the U.S. has not yet adopted the Pillar Two rules, various other governments around the world are enacting similar legislation. The Company is not within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules.

Equity method investments

The Company’s equity method investments in Partnerships represent its ownership in certain specialized funds and customized separate accounts. The strategies and geographic location of investments within the Partnerships vary by fund. The Company has a 1% interest in substantially all of the Partnerships, representing a general partner interest. The Company’s other equity method investments represent its ownership in a technology company to develop an AI-powered investment assistant for private markets.

Fair value investments

The Company’s fair value investments represent a publicly traded security, investments held by the consolidated funds and investments in private equity funds and direct credit and equity investments that are held as collateral on the Company’s secured financing. The private equity fund investments can only be redeemed through distributions received from the liquidation of underlying investments of the fund, and the timing of distributions is currently indeterminable. The cost of the assets held as collateral was $5,431 and $5,952 as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The direct credit investments were debt securities classified as trading securities. Fair value investments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in non-operating gain (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company accounts for its secured financing at fair value under the fair value option. The primary reason for electing the fair value option is to mitigate volatility in earnings from using different measurement attributes. The significant input to the fair value of the secured financing is the fair value of the fair value investments delivered as collateral which are estimated using Level 3 inputs with the significant inputs as shown in Note 5 below.

The Company recognized a loss of $611 and a gain of $337 on fair value investments held as collateral during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and losses of $840 and $869 during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, that are recorded in non-operating gain (loss). The Company recognized a gain of $611 and a loss of $337 on the secured financing liability during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and gains of $840 and $869 during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, that are recorded in non-operating gain (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The valuation methodologies, significant unobservable inputs, range of inputs and the weighted average input determined based upon relative fair value of the investments used in recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of assets were as follows, as of September 30, 2024:


				Significant
	Fair		Valuation	Unobservable				Weighted
	Value		Methodology	Inputs	Range			Average

Private equity funds	$	4,607	Adjusted NAV	Selected market return	2.6%	-	4.4%	2.9%

Direct equity investments	$	8,473	Adjusted NAV	Selected market return	4.3%	-	4.5%	4.3%

For the significant unobservable inputs listed in the tables above a significant increase or decrease in the selected market return would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.

6. Variable Interest Entities

The Company holds variable interests in entities that are considered VIEs because limited partners lack the ability to remove the general partner or dissolve the entity without cause by simple majority vote (i.e., do not have substantive “kick out” or “liquidation” rights). The Company’s variable interest in such entities is in the form of direct equity interests in, and/or fee arrangements with, the Partnerships in which it also serves as the general partner or managing member. In the Company’s role as general partner or managing member, it generally considers itself the sponsor of the applicable Partnership and makes all investment and operating decisions. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

The Company consolidates general partner entities of certain Partnerships and funds in which it is currently the primary beneficiary, which are not wholly-owned by the Company. The assets of the consolidated general partner VIEs represent investments in funds and the assets of the consolidated funds represent cash and investments. The assets may only be used to settle obligations of the respective consolidated VIEs, if any. In addition, there is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated VIEs’ liabilities, except for certain entities in which there could be a clawback of previously distributed carried interest. At the point when the Company no longer qualifies as the primary beneficiary of a consolidated VIE, it will deconsolidate all the assets and liabilities of the NCI in the respective Partnership from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Non-consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Certain Partnerships that are VIEs are not consolidated because the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary based upon the Company’s equity interest percentage in each of the applicable VIEs. As of September 30, 2024, the total remaining unfunded commitments from the Company’s general partner entities to the non-consolidated VIEs was $187,283. Investor commitments are the primary source of financing for the non-consolidated VIEs.

The maximum exposure to loss represents the potential loss of assets recognized by the Company relating to these non-consolidated VIEs. The Company believes that its maximum exposure to loss is


			17

limited because it establishes separate limited liability or limited partnership entities to serve as the general partner or managing member of the Partnerships.

The carrying value of assets and liabilities recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Company’s interests in these non-consolidated VIEs and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss relating to non-consolidated VIEs were as follows:


	September 30,		March 31,
	2024		2024
Investments	$	239,065	$	232,743
Fees receivable	27,986		61,694
Due from related parties	5,721		1,699
Total VIE Assets	272,772		296,136
Less: Non-controlling interests	(2,469)		(1,918)
Maximum exposure to loss	$	270,303	$	294,218

7. Debt

The Company’s debt consisted of the following:


	As of September 30, 2024						As of March 31, 2024
	Principal Outstanding		Carrying Value		Interest Rate		Principal Outstanding		Carrying Value		Interest Rate
Term Loan	$	95,625	$	95,312	6.75	%	$	96,875	$	96,531	7.25	%
2020 Multi-Draw Facility	100,000		99,659		3.50	%	100,000		99,628		3.50	%

Total Debt	$	195,625	$	194,971			$	196,875	$	196,159

The carrying value of the Company’s outstanding debt as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 approximated fair value except for the 2020 multi-draw facility, which had an estimated fair value of $90,533 and $87,611 as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The estimated fair value of debt is based on then-current market rates for similar debt instruments and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Restricted Stock Awards

A summary of restricted stock activity for the six months ended September 30, 2024 is presented below:


	Total Unvested	Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value of Award
March 31, 2024	363,128	$	80.34
Granted	103,207	$	147.79
Vested	(19,652)	$	78.06
Forfeited	(15,490)	$	81.21
September 30, 2024	431,193	$	96.55

As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock was $36,655.

Performance Awards

The Company granted performance stock awards to certain employees that are subject to both a market-based vesting and a service-based vesting condition (“Performance Awards”). The Performance Awards will vest based upon (i) the market price of HLI Class A common stock achieving certain price thresholds from $150 per share to $230 per share and (ii) continued employment through the date the price target is met (with a minimum of five years of service required after the grant date for vesting). If the price target is met prior to the fifth anniversary of the grant date, the vesting date will be the fifth anniversary of the grant date. Holders of the Performance Awards do not participate in dividends until such awards have met both their market-based and service-based vesting requirements.

Due to the existence of the service requirement, the vesting period for these awards will vary with each respective tranche as the employees must be employed with the Company at the point in which the market requirement is met with a minimum of five years of service required after the grant date for

vesting. As such, compensation expense will be recognized ratably for each vesting tranche from the grant date to the end for the employee’s service period. The fair value of the awards granted are based on a Monte-Carlo simulation valuation model.

A summary of Performance Award activity for the six months ended September 30, 2024 is presented below:


	Total Unvested	Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value of Award
March 31, 2024	489,150	$	29.79
Granted	1,140,176	$	130.75

Forfeited	(13,044)	$	29.79
September 30, 2024	1,616,282	$	101.01

Below is a summary of the grant date fair value based on the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model and the significant assumptions used to estimate the grant date fair value of the Performance Awards granted September 16, 2024:


Grant Date Fair Value	$	130.75
Closing share price as of valuation date	$	153.23
Risk Free Rate	3.5%
Volatility	37.5%
Dividend Yield	1.3%

As of September 30, 2024, total estimated unrecognized expense related to the unvested Performance Awards was $156,236.

10. Compensation and Benefits

The Company has recorded the following amounts related to compensation and benefits:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Base compensation and benefits	$	42,843	$	38,389	$	103,862	$	74,739

Total compensation and benefits	$	55,070	$	45,930	$	133,504	$	90,032

11. Income Tax

The Company’s effective tax rate used for interim periods is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate including the tax effect of items required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which those items occur. The effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated amount of income subject to income tax; therefore, the effective tax rate can vary from period to period. The

Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and adjusts the valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.

The Company’s effective tax rates were 1.5% and 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 11.3% and 13.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rates were different from the statutory tax rates due to the portion of income allocated to NCI, valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets and discrete tax adjustments to true-up prior fiscal year estimated investment taxable income to actual investment taxable income reported to the Company after the prior fiscal year end.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax positions and believes there will be no changes to uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months.

12. Earnings per Share

The following table presents the basic earnings per share ("EPS") for a share of Class A common stock:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

Net income attributable to HLI	$	54,982	$	41,994	$	113,946	$	72,992
Weighted Average Shares	39,704,607		37,718,210		39,700,166		37,713,038
Basic EPS of Class A common stock	$	1.38	$	1.11	$	2.87	$	1.94

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses attributable to HLI, and, therefore, are not participating shares. As a result, a separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been included. Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock are, however, considered potentially dilutive to the Class A common stock because the Class B units to which the Class B common stock corresponds are exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, at which time the share of Class B common stock is surrendered in exchange for a payment of its par value.

The adjustments to net income for dilutive shares are based upon the additional income that would be allocated to HLI for the change in its ownership percentage due to the dilutive shares and adjusted for the incremental income tax expense related to the additional allocated income. Net income (loss) recorded by HLI on a standalone basis will determine if the Class B and Class C units are dilutive or antidilutive in each respective period.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to various legal, regulatory, and/or administrative proceedings from time to time. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such proceedings, in the opinion of management, the Company does not believe it is probable that any pending or, to its knowledge, threatened legal proceeding or claim would individually or in the aggregate materially affect its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Incentive Fees

The Partnerships have allocated carried interest still subject to contingencies that did not meet the Company’s criteria for revenue recognition in the amounts of $1,252,836 and $1,221,488, net of amounts attributable to NCI, at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

If the Company ultimately receives the unrecognized carried interest, a total of $313,209 and $305,372 as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, would potentially be payable to certain employees and third parties pursuant to compensation arrangements related to carried interest profit-sharing plans. Such amounts have not been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the payment is not yet probable.

Commitments

The Company serves as the investment manager of the Partnerships. The general partner or managing member of each Partnership is generally a separate subsidiary of the Company and has agreed to invest funds on the same basis as the limited partners in most instances. The Company’s aggregate unfunded commitment to the Partnerships was $276,153 and $267,734 as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

In connection with certain of the Company’s strategic technology investments a percentage of realized gains will be paid to one of our Co-CEOs for overseeing the initial investments and up to 15% may be paid as a discretionary bonus to other employees as those gains are realized. The Company has an unrealized net gain on strategic investments of $37,732 as of September 30, 2024.

The Company offers an Employee Investment Program (“EIP”) through which certain employees are able to invest directly into certain Company managed funds as individual limited partners (“LPs”). The employees also have an option to enter into a loan agreement with the Company or a third-party lender to fund committed capital. The loan is collateralized by the underlying LP’s interest in the fund and return of capital distributions are utilized to pay the outstanding loan balance. The Company entered into a separate agreement with the third-party lender to backstop the employee’s performance under the loan with a commitment to purchase the LP interest from the lender at the greater of fair value or the outstanding balance of the loan in the event of a default by the employee. As of September 30, 2024, the total amount of outstanding loans at the third-party lender under the EIP was $1,187, and the Company believes the risk of default by an employee to be remote.

Leases

The Company’s leases consist primarily of operating leases for office space and office equipment in various locations around the world. Some leases have the option to extend for an additional term or terminate early. Short-term lease costs are not material.

The following table shows lease costs and other supplemental information related to the Company’s operating leases:

Business Overview

We are a global private markets investment solutions provider and operate our business in a single segment. We offer a variety of investment solutions to address our clients’ needs across a range of private markets, including private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, natural resources, growth equity, venture capital and impact. These solutions are constructed from a range of investment types, including primary investments in funds managed by third-party managers, direct investments alongside such funds and acquisitions of secondary stakes in such funds, with a number of our clients utilizing multiple investment types. These solutions are offered in a variety of formats covering some or all phases of private markets investment programs:

•Customized Separate Accounts: We design and build customized portfolios of private markets funds and direct investments to meet our clients’ specific portfolio objectives with regard to return, risk tolerance, diversification and liquidity. We generally have discretionary investment authority over our customized separate accounts, which comprised $95.1 billion of our assets under management (“AUM”) as of September 30, 2024.

•Specialized Funds: We organize, invest and manage specialized primary, secondary and direct investment funds. Our specialized funds invest across a variety of private markets and include equity, equity-linked and credit funds offered on standard terms, as well as shorter duration, opportunistically oriented funds. We launched our first specialized fund in 1997. Since then, our product offerings have grown steadily and now include evergreen offerings that primarily invest in secondaries and direct investments in equity and credit and are available to certain high-net-worth individuals. Specialized funds comprised $36.2 billion of our AUM as of September 30, 2024.

•Advisory Services: We offer non-discretionary investment advisory services to assist clients in developing and implementing their private markets investment programs. Our investment advisory services include asset allocation, strategic plan creation, development of investment policies and guidelines, the screening and recommending of investments, the monitoring of and reporting on investments and investment manager review and due diligence. Our advisory clients include some of the largest and most sophisticated private markets investors in the world. We had $816.1 billion of assets under advisement (“AUA”) as of September 30, 2024.

•Distribution Management: We offer distribution management services to our clients through active portfolio management to enhance the realized value of publicly traded stock they receive as distributions in-kind from private equity funds.

•Reporting, Monitoring, Data and Analytics: We provide our clients with comprehensive reporting and investment monitoring services, usually bundled into our broader investment solutions offerings, but also on a stand-alone, fee-for-service basis. We also provide comprehensive research and analytical services as part of our investment solutions, leveraging our large, global, proprietary and high-quality database for transparency and powerful analytics. Our data, as well as our benchmarking and forecasting models, are accessible through our proprietary technology solution, Cobalt LP, on a stand-alone, subscription basis.

Our client and investor base is broadly diversified by type, size and geography. Our client base primarily comprises institutional investors that range from those seeking to make an initial investment in alternative assets to some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated private markets investors. As we offer a highly customized, flexible service, we are equipped to provide investment services to institutional clients of all sizes and with different needs, internal resources and investment objectives. Our clients include prominent institutional investors in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and Latin America. We provide private markets solutions and services to some of the largest global pension, sovereign wealth and U.S. state pension funds. In addition, we believe we are a leading provider of private markets solutions for U.S. labor union pension plans, and we serve numerous smaller public and corporate pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions and insurance companies, endowments and foundations, as well as family offices and high-net-worth individuals.

The Performance Awards are subject to both a market-based and a service-based vesting condition and will vest based upon (i) the market price of our Class A common stock achieving certain price thresholds from $150 per share to $230 per share and (ii) continued employment through the date the price target is met (with a minimum of five years of service required after the grant date for vesting). Compensation expense will be recognized ratably from the grant date to the end of the applicable employee’s minimum service period.

Key Financial and Operating Measures

Our key financial measures are discussed below.

Revenues

We generate revenues primarily from management and advisory fees, and to a lesser extent, incentive fees.

Management and advisory fees comprise specialized fund and customized separate account management fees, advisory and reporting fees and distribution management fees.

Revenues from customized separate accounts are generally based on a contractual rate applied to committed capital or net invested capital under management. These fees often decrease over the life of the contract due to built-in declines in contractual rates and/or as a result of lower net invested capital balances as capital is returned to clients. In certain cases, we also provide advisory and/or reporting services, and, therefore, we also receive fees for services such as monitoring and reporting on a client’s existing private markets investments. In addition, we may provide for investments in our specialized funds as part of our customized separate accounts. In these cases, we generally reduce the asset-based and/or incentive fees or carried interest on customized separate accounts to the extent that assets in the accounts are invested in our specialized funds so that our clients do not pay duplicate fees.

Revenues from specialized funds are based on a percentage of limited partners’ capital commitments to, net invested capital or net asset value (“NAV”) in, our specialized funds. The management fee during the investment period is often charged on capital commitments and after the investment period (or a defined anniversary of the fund’s initial closing) is typically reduced by a percentage of the management fee for the preceding year or charged on net invested capital or NAV. In the case of certain funds, we charge management fees on capital commitments, with the management fee increasing during the early years of the fund’s term and declining in the later years. Management fees for certain funds are discounted based on the amount of the limited partners’ commitments, whether the limited partners commit early in the offering period or if the limited partners are investors in our other funds.

Revenues from advisory and reporting, monitoring, data and analytics services are generally annual fixed fees, which vary depending on the services we provide, and are recognized over the service term. In limited cases, advisory service clients are charged basis point fees annually based on the amounts they have committed to invest pursuant to their agreements with us. In other cases where our services are limited to monitoring and reporting on investment portfolios, clients are charged a fee based on the number of investments in their portfolio.

Distribution management fees are generally earned by applying a percentage to AUM or proceeds received. Certain active management clients may elect a fee structure under which they are charged an asset-based fee plus a fee based on net realized and unrealized gains and income net of realized and unrealized losses.

Incentive fees comprise carried interest earned from our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts structured as single-client funds in which we have a general partner commitment, and performance fees earned on certain other specialized funds and customized separate accounts.

For each of our secondary funds, direct investment funds, strategic opportunity funds and evergreen funds, we generally earn carried interest equal to a fixed percentage of net profits, usually 10.0% to 12.5%, subject to a compounded annual preferred return that is generally 6.0% to 8.0%. To the extent that our primary funds also directly make secondary investments and direct investments, they generally earn

carried interest on a similar basis. Furthermore, certain of our primary funds earn carried interest on their investments in other private markets funds on a primary basis that is generally 5.0% of net profits, subject to the fund’s compounded annual preferred return.

We recognize carried interest when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The primary contingency regarding incentive fees is the “clawback,” or the obligation to return distributions in excess of the amount prescribed by the applicable fund or separate account documents. Incentive fees are typically only required to be returned on a net of tax basis due to a clawback. As such, the tax-related portion of incentive fees is typically not subject to clawback and is therefore recognized as revenue immediately upon receipt. In the event that a payment is made before it can be recognized as revenue, this amount would be included as deferred incentive fee revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized as income in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.

Performance fees, which are a component of incentive fees, are based on the aggregate amount of realized gains earned by the applicable specialized fund or customized separate account, subject to the achievement of defined minimum returns to the clients. Performance fees range from 5.0% to 12.5% of net profits, subject to a compounded annual preferred return that varies by account but is generally 6.0% to 8.0%. Performance fees are recognized when the risk of clawback or reversal is not probable.

Expenses

Compensation and benefits is our largest expense and consists of (a) base compensation comprising salary, bonuses and benefits paid and payable to employees, (b) equity-based compensation associated with the grants of restricted stock and performance awards and (c) incentive fee compensation, which consists of carried interest and performance fee allocations. We expect to continue to experience a general rise in compensation and benefits expense commensurate with expected growth in headcount and with the need to maintain competitive compensation levels as we expand geographically and create new products and services.

Our compensation arrangements with our employees contain a significant bonus component driven by the results of our operations. Therefore, as our revenues, profitability and the amount of incentive fees earned by our customized separate accounts and specialized funds increase, our compensation costs rise.

Certain current and former employees participate in a carried interest program whereby approximately 25% of incentive fees from certain of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts are awarded to plan participants. We record compensation expense payable to plan participants as the incentive fees become estimable and collection is probable.

General, administrative and other includes travel, accounting, legal and other professional fees, commissions, placement fees, office expenses, depreciation and other costs associated with our operations. Our occupancy-related costs and professional services expenses, in particular, generally increase or decrease in relative proportion to the number of our employees and the overall size and scale of our business operations.

Other Income (Expense)

Equity in income of investees primarily represents our share of earnings from our investments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts in which we have a general partner commitment. Equity income primarily comprises our share of the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and investment income partially offset by the expenses from these investments.

We have general partner commitments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts that invest solely in primary funds, secondary funds and direct investments, as well as those that invest across investment types. Equity in income (loss) of investees will increase or decrease as the change in underlying fund investment valuations increases or decreases. Since our direct investment funds invest in underlying portfolio companies, their quarterly and annual valuation changes are more affected by individual company movements than our primary and secondary funds that have exposures across multiple portfolio companies in underlying private markets funds. Our specialized funds and customized separate accounts invest across industries, strategies and geographies, and therefore our general partner investments do not include any significant concentrations in a specific sector or area outside the United States.

Interest expense includes interest paid and accrued on our outstanding debt, along with the amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of original issue discount and the write-off of deferred financing costs due to the repayment of previously outstanding debt.

Interest income is income earned on cash and cash equivalents.

Non-operating gain (loss) consists primarily of gains and losses on certain investments, changes in liability under the tax receivable agreement and other non-recurring or non-cash items.

Other income (expense) of consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) consists primarily of the share of earnings of investments of consolidated general partner entities, which are not wholly-owned by us, in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts in which they have a general partner commitment, interest income on our previously consolidated fund and unrealized gains and interest income on consolidated funds.

Income Tax Expense

We are a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes on our share of taxable income generated by HLA. HLA is treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As such, income generated by HLA flows through to its limited partners, including us, and is generally not subject to U.S. federal or state income tax at the partnership level. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries generally operate as corporate entities in non-U.S. jurisdictions, with certain of these entities subject to non-U.S. income taxes. Additionally, certain of our subsidiaries are subject to local jurisdiction income taxes at the entity level. Accordingly, the tax liability with respect to income attributable to non-controlling interests (“NCI”) in HLA is borne by the holders of such NCI.

Non-controlling interests

NCI reflect the portion of income or loss and the corresponding equity attributable to third-party equity holders and employees in certain consolidated subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by us. NCI are presented as separate components in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to clearly

distinguish between our interests and the economic interests of third parties and employees in those entities.

Fee-Earning AUM

Fee-earning AUM is a metric we use to measure the assets from which we earn management fees. Our fee-earning AUM comprise assets in our customized separate accounts and specialized funds from which we derive management fees that are generally derived from applying a certain percentage to the appropriate fee base. We classify customized separate account revenue as management fees if the client is charged an asset-based fee, which includes the majority of our discretionary AUM accounts but also includes certain non-discretionary AUA accounts. Our fee-earning AUM is equal to the amount of capital commitments, net invested capital and NAV of our customized separate accounts and specialized funds depending on the fee terms. The vast majority of our customized separate accounts and specialized funds earn fees based on commitments or net invested capital, which are not affected by market appreciation or depreciation. Therefore, revenues and fee-earning AUM are not significantly affected by changes in market value.

Our calculations of fee-earning AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Our definition of fee-earning AUM is not based on any definition that is set forth in the agreements governing the customized separate accounts or specialized funds that we manage.

Specialized funds revenue increased $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, due primarily to an increase of $12.1 million in revenue from our evergreen funds, which added $3.6 billion in fee-earning AUM between periods. The increase was partially offset by a net decrease of $1.3 million in revenue from our latest secondary fund compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to $6.1 million of retroactive fees in the prior year period. Retroactive fees are management fees earned in the current period from investors that commit to a specialized fund towards the end of the fundraising period and are required to pay a catch-up management fee as if they had committed to the fund at the first closing in a prior period.

Customized separate accounts revenue increased $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to the addition of several new accounts, additional allocations from existing accounts, and continued investment activity.

Incentive fees increased $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, due primarily to an increase in incentive fees from the increased tax-related portion of carried interest distributions in the current period.

Specialized funds revenue increased $40.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023, due primarily to an increase of $23.4 million in revenue from our evergreen funds and an increase of $22.1 million in revenue from our latest secondary fund, which added $3.6 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, in fee-earning AUM between periods. Revenue from our latest secondary fund included $20.7 million in retroactive fees for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $8.8 million in retroactive fees for the six months ended September 30, 2023.

Customized separate accounts revenue increased $4.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023 due to the addition of several new accounts, additional allocations from existing accounts, and continued investment activity.

Incentive fees increased $49.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023, due primarily to an increase in incentive fees from the increased tax-related portion of carried interest distributions in the current period and the proceeds realized on the sale of an underlying investment in one of our specialized funds that has an American waterfall.

Three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to three months ended September 30, 2023

Other income (expense) of consolidated VIEs decreased $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, due primarily to $2.8 million of interest income earned during the three months ended September 30, 2023 by a previously consolidated credit fund.

Six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to six months ended September 30, 2023

Other income (expense) of consolidated VIEs decreased $2.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023, due primarily to $4.5 million of interest income earned during the six months ended September 30, 2023 by a previously consolidated credit fund, partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million of equity in income of investees due primarily to the increases in public market valuations during the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate was 1.5% and 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 11.3% and 13.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These rates were different from the statutory tax rates due to the portion of income allocated to NCI, change in valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets and discrete tax adjustments recorded in the periods. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 was lower than the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 due primarily to a reduction in valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at September 30, 2024.

Net income attributable to NCI decreased by $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by NCI in consolidated funds decreasing by $3.1 million, due to a previously consolidated credit fund for which NCI holders held a larger economic ownership in the period ended September 30, 2023, compared to the funds consolidated during the period ended September 30, 2024. NCI in Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. increased by $1.2 million due to an overall increase in net income, partially offset by a decrease in NCI holders’ economic ownership percentage of Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. between periods.

Net income attributable to NCI increased by $6.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by NCI in Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. increasing by $9.7 million due to an overall increase in net income, partially offset by a decrease in NCI holders’ economic ownership percentage of Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. between periods. NCI in consolidated funds decreased by $4.1 million, driven primarily by the deconsolidation of a fund for which NCI holders held a larger economic ownership during the period ended September 30, 2023, compared to the funds consolidated during the period ended September 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Below is a description of our unaudited non-GAAP financial measures. These are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are reconciled below. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. Other companies may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Fee Related Earnings

Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”) is used to highlight earnings from recurring management fees. FRE represents net income excluding (a) incentive fees and related compensation, (b) interest income and expense, (c) income tax expense, (d) equity in income of investees, (e) non-operating gain (loss) and (f) certain other significant items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance. We believe FRE is useful to investors because it provides additional insight into the operating profitability of our business. FRE is presented before income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is an internal measure of profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate the performance of our core business across reporting periods. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income excluding (a) interest expense on our outstanding debt, (b) income tax expense, (c) depreciation and amortization expense, (d) equity-based compensation expense, (e) non-operating gain (loss) and (f) certain other significant items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance.

Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share

Non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) measures our per-share earnings excluding certain significant items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance and assuming all Class B and Class C units in HLA were exchanged for Class A common stock in HLI. Non-GAAP EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by adjusted shares outstanding. Adjusted net income is income before taxes fully taxed at our estimated statutory tax rate and excludes any impact of changes in carrying amount of our redeemable NCI. Adjusted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are equal to weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted. We believe adjusted net income and non-GAAP earnings per share are useful to investors because they enable them to better evaluate total and per-share operating performance across reporting periods.

The following table shows a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income attributable to Hamilton Lane Incorporated for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Investment Performance

The following tables present information relating to the historical performance of our specialized funds with fund families having at least two distinct vintages and most recent fund sizes of greater than $500 million per fund. The data are presented from the date indicated through June 30, 2024 and have not been adjusted to reflect acquisitions or disposals of investments subsequent to that date.

When considering the data presented below, note that the historical results of our specialized funds are not indicative of the future results you should expect from such investments, from any future investment funds we may raise or from an investment in our Class A common stock, in part because:

•market conditions and investment opportunities during previous periods may have been significantly more favorable for generating positive performance than those we may experience in the future;

•the performance of our funds is generally calculated on the basis of the NAV of the funds’ investments, including unrealized gains, which may never be realized;

•our historical returns derive largely from the performance of our earlier funds, whereas future fund returns will depend increasingly on the performance of our newer funds or funds not yet formed;

•our newly-established funds may generate lower returns during the period that they initially deploy their capital;

•in recent years, there has been increased competition for investment opportunities resulting from the increased amount of capital invested in private markets alternatives and high liquidity in debt markets, and the increased competition for investments may reduce our returns in the future;

•the performance of particular funds also will be affected by risks of the industries and businesses in which they invest; and

•we may create new funds that reflect a different asset mix and new investment strategies, as well as a varied geographic and industry exposure, compared to our historical funds, and any such new funds could have different returns than our previous funds.

The historical and potential future returns of the investment funds we manage are not directly linked to returns on our Class A common stock. Therefore, you should not conclude that continued positive performance of the investment funds we manage will necessarily result in positive returns on an investment in our Class A common stock. As used in this discussion, internal rate of return (“IRR”) is calculated on a pooled basis using daily cash flows. See “Performance Methodology” below for more information on how our returns are calculated.

Specialized Fund Performance

We organize, invest and manage specialized primary, secondary and direct investment funds. Our specialized funds invest across a variety of private markets and include equity, equity-linked and credit funds offered on standard terms, as well as shorter duration, opportunistically oriented funds. Below is performance information across our various specialized funds. Substantially all of these funds are globally focused, and they are grouped by the investment strategy utilized.

Performance Methodology

The indices presented for comparison are the S&P 500, MSCI World, Credit Suisse High Yield II (“CS HY II”) and Credit Suisse Leverage Loan (“CS LL”), calculated on a public market equivalent (“PME”) basis. We believe these indices are commonly used by private markets and credit investors to evaluate performance. The PME calculation methodology allows private markets investment performance to be evaluated against a public index and assumes that capital is being invested in, or withdrawn from, the index on the days the capital was called and distributed from the underlying fund managers. The S&P 500 Index is a total return capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of 500 U.S. large cap stocks. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index of over 1,600 world stocks that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The

CS HY II Index, formerly known as the DLJ High Yield Index, is designed to mirror the investable universe of the U.S. dollar denominated high yield debt market. Prices for the CS HY II Index are available on a weekly basis. The CS LL Index is an index designed to mirror the investable universe of the U.S. dollar denominated leveraged loan market. Loans must be rated 5B or lower and the index frequency is monthly.

Our IRR represents the pooled IRR for all discretionary investments for the period from inception to June 30, 2024. Gross IRR is presented net of management fees, carried interest and expenses charged by the general partners of the underlying investments, but does not include our management fees, carried interest or expenses. Our gross IRR would decrease with the inclusion of our management fees, carried interest and expenses. Net IRR is net of all management fees, carried interest and expenses charged by the general partners of the underlying investments, as well as by us. Net IRR figures for our funds do not include cash flows attributable to the general partner. Note that secondary portfolio IRRs can be initially impacted by purchase discounts (or premiums) paid at the closing of a transaction, the impact of which will diminish over time.

“Capital Invested” refers to the total amount of all investments made by a fund, including commitment-reducing and non-commitment-reducing capital calls. “Multiple” represents total distributions from underlying investments to the fund plus the fund’s market value divided by total contributed capital. “Gross Multiple” is presented net of management fees, carried interest and expenses charged by the fund managers of the underlying investments.

Specialized fund and pre-fund performance does not include ten funds-of-funds that have investor-specific investment guidelines.

Many of our specialized funds utilize revolving credit facilities, which provide capital that is available to fund investments or pay partnership expenses and management fees. Borrowings may be paid down from time to time with investor capital contributions or distributions from investments. The use of a credit facility affects the fund’s return and magnifies the performance on the upside or on the downside.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have managed our historical liquidity and capital requirements primarily through the receipt of management and advisory fee revenues. Our primary cash flow activities involve: (1) generating cash flow from operations, which largely includes management and advisory fees; (2) realizations generated from our investment activities; (3) funding capital commitments that we have made to certain of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts; (4) making dividend payments to our stockholders and distributions to holders of HLA units; and (5) borrowings, interest payments and repayments under our outstanding debt. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $193.8 million and $114.6 million, respectively.

Our material sources of cash from our operations include: (1) management and advisory fees, which are collected monthly or quarterly; (2) incentive fees, which are volatile and largely unpredictable as to amount and timing; and (3) fund distributions related to investments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts that we manage. We use cash flow from operations primarily to pay compensation and related expenses, general, administrative and other expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and distributions to our owners and to fund commitments to certain of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts. If cash flows from operations were insufficient to fund distributions to our owners, we expect that we would suspend paying such distributions.

We have also accessed the capital markets and used proceeds from sales of our Class A common stock to settle in cash exchanges of HLA membership interests by direct and indirect owners of HLA pursuant to our exchange agreement.

Finally, we have used available cash and borrowings from our Loan Agreements (defined below) to make strategic investments in companies that seek to offer technology-driven private markets data and wealth management solutions.

Senior Notes and Loan Agreements

On October 8, 2024, HLA issued the Notes pursuant to a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) dated as of October 8, 2024, among HLA and the institutional purchasers party thereto in a private placement transaction. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on April 15, 2025. Interest on the Notes accrues from and including October 8, 2024. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2029.

We maintain a Term Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”), Revolving Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Revolving Loan Agreement”), a 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement”) and a 2022 Multi-Draw Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “2022 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement” and, together with the Term Loan Agreement, Revolving Loan Agreement and 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement, the “Loan Agreements”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”). On October 7, 2024, HLA and JPMorgan amended each of the Loan Agreements in connection with HLA’s entry into the Note Purchase Agreement. The amendments included naming JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the successor-in-interest to First Republic Bank, updating the maturity dates for the Loan Agreements and allowing for incurring additional indebtedness. The Loan Agreements are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted and the aggregate principal amount of loans that may be outstanding under all of the Loan Agreements is subject to an aggregate cap of $325 million (the “Cap”).

The 2022 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement has a maturity date of the earlier of (i) five business days prior to the earlier of the date the Notes or any subsequent notes are repaid or (ii) October 1, 2029 and the interest rate is a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate minus 1.50% subject to a floor of 3.00%. As of September 30, 2024, we did not have an outstanding balance under the 2022 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement. We are entitled to request term loans not to exceed $75 million in the aggregate, subject to the Cap, through September 30, 2025.

The Term Loan Agreement has a maturity date of the earlier of (i) five business days prior to the earlier of the date the Notes or any subsequent notes are repaid or (ii) July 1, 2029, and the interest rate is a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate minus 1.25% subject to a floor of 3.00%. As of September 30, 2024, we had an outstanding balance of $96 million under the Term Loan Agreement.

The Revolving Loan Agreement provides that the aggregate outstanding balance will not exceed $50 million, subject to the Cap, and has a maturity date of the earlier of (i) five business days prior to the earlier of the date the Notes or any subsequent notes are repaid or (ii) October 7, 2027. The interest rate is a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate minus 1.50% subject to a floor of 2.25%. As of September 30, 2024, we did not have an outstanding balance under the Revolving Loan Agreement.

The 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement provides for a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million with a maturity date of the earlier of (i) five business days prior to the earlier of the date the Notes or any subsequent notes are repaid, or (ii) April 1, 2030. The interest rate is a fixed per annum rate of 3.50%. As of September 30, 2024, we had an outstanding balance of $100 million under the 2020 Multi-Draw Term Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreements and Note Purchase Agreement contain covenants that, among other things, limit HLA’s ability to incur indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, merge with other companies, create, incur or allow liens, make investments, pay dividends or make distributions, engage in transactions with affiliates and take certain actions with respect to management fees. The Loan Agreements also require HLA to maintain, among other requirements, (i) a specified amount of management fees, (ii) a specified amount of adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Loan Agreements, and (iii) a specified minimum tangible net worth, during the term of each of the Loan Agreements. The Note Purchase Agreement requires HLA to maintain (i) a consolidated leverage ratio within a specified range and (ii) specified amounts of management fees, (as described in the Note Purchase Agreement). The obligations under the Loan Agreements are secured by substantially all the assets of HLA. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the principal amount of debt outstanding equaled $195.6 million and $196.9 million, respectively. We had $125.0 million in availability under the Loan Agreements as of September 30, 2024.

Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity

We generate significant cash flows from operating activities. We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital requirements through our cash flows from operating activities, existing cash and cash equivalents and our ability to obtain future external financing. However, the availability of capital from the Loan Agreements and our cash balances are exposed to the credit risks of the financial institutions at which they are held. If events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any such events, occur, our ability to access existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, or to access existing or enter into new banking arrangements or facilities to pay operational and other costs, may be threatened or lost.

We will also continue to evaluate opportunities, based on market conditions, to access the capital markets for working capital or to use proceeds from sales of our Class A common stock to settle in cash exchanges of HLA membership interests by direct and indirect owners of HLA pursuant to our exchange agreement. The timing or size of any potential transactions will depend on a number of factors, including market opportunities and our views regarding our capital and liquidity positions and potential future needs. There can be no assurance that any such transactions will be completed on favorable terms, or at all.

We will also continue to evaluate opportunities to make strategic investments in companies that seek to offer technology-driven private markets data and wealth management solutions.

In November 2018, we authorized a program to repurchase up to 6% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, not to exceed $50 million (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). The Stock Repurchase Program does not include specific price targets or timetables and may be suspended or terminated by us at any time. We intend to finance the purchases using available working capital and/or external financing. The Stock Repurchase Program expires 12 months after the date of the first acquisition under the authorization. We have not repurchased any shares of our Class A common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program, and therefore the full purchase authority remains available. Our board of directors periodically reviews the Stock Repurchase Program and most recently re-approved it in December 2023.

We expect that our primary short-term and long-term liquidity needs will comprise cash to: (1) provide capital to facilitate the growth of our business; (2) fund commitments to our investments; (3) pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees; (4) make payments and/or exercise early termination buyout rights under the tax receivable agreement; (5) fund capital expenditures and make strategic investments; (6) pay interest and principal due on our outstanding debt; (7) pay income taxes; (8) make dividend payments to our stockholders and distributions to holders of HLA units in accordance with our distribution policy; (9) settle exchanges of HLA membership interests by direct and indirect owners of HLA pursuant to our exchange agreement from time to time; and (10) fund purchases of our Class A common stock pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Program.

We are required to maintain minimum net capital balances for regulatory purposes for certain of our foreign subsidiaries and our broker-dealer subsidiary. These net capital requirements are met by retaining cash. As a result, we may be restricted in our ability to transfer cash between different operating entities and jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we were required to maintain approximately $5.9 million and approximately $5.0 million, respectively, in liquid net assets within these subsidiaries to meet regulatory net capital and capital adequacy requirements. We are in compliance with these regulatory requirements.

Dividend Policy

The declaration and payment by us of any future dividends to holders of our Class A common stock is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. We intend to continue to pay a cash dividend on a quarterly basis. Subject to funds being legally available, we will cause HLA to make pro rata distributions to its members, including us, in an amount at least sufficient to allow us to pay all applicable taxes, to make payments under the tax receivable agreement, and to pay our corporate and other overhead expenses.

Tax Receivable Agreement

We expect that periodic exchanges of membership units of HLA by members of HLA will result in increases in the tax basis in our share of the assets of HLA that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis are expected to increase our depreciation and amortization deductions and create other tax benefits and therefore may reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future. The tax receivable agreement will require us to pay 85% of the amount of these and certain other tax benefits, if any, that we realize (or are deemed to realize in the case of an early termination payment, a change in control or a material breach by us of our obligations under the tax receivable agreement) to the pre-IPO members of HLA.

Cash Flows

Six Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023


	Six Months Ended September 30,

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	197,145	$	135,569
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(25,037)	$	(85,009)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(58,900)	$	67,663

Operating Activities

Operating activities generally reflect our earnings in the respective periods after adjusting for significant non-cash activity, including equity in income of investees, equity-based compensation, lease expense and depreciation and amortization, all of which are included in earnings. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our net cash provided by operating activities was driven primarily by receipts of management fees and incentive fees, partially offset by payment of operating expenses, which includes compensation and benefits and general, administrative and other expenses.

Investing Activities

Investing activities generally reflect cash used for acquisitions, fixed asset purchases and contributions to and distributions from our funds. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our net cash used in investing activities was driven primarily by purchases of furniture, fixtures and equipment, net contributions to our funds and purchase of investments by consolidated funds, partially offset by cash from consolidating funds.

Financing Activities

Financing activities generally reflect cash received from debt and equity financings, payments to owners in the form of dividends, distributions and repurchases of shares and scheduled repayments of our outstanding debt. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was driven primarily by dividends paid to stockholders, distributions to HLA members and contributions from NCI in consolidated funds. Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was also impacted by repayment of our outstanding debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes in our off-balance sheet arrangements discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

There have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies from those specified in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base our judgments on our historical experience and on various other

assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a more complete discussion of the accounting judgments and estimates that we have identified as critical in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, please refer to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Information regarding recent accounting developments and their impact on our results can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to a broad range of risks inherent in the financial markets in which we participate, including price risk, interest-rate risk, access to and cost of financing risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and foreign exchange-rate risk. Potentially negative effects of these risks may be mitigated to a certain extent by those aspects of our investment approach, investment strategies, fundraising practices or other business activities that are designed to benefit, either in relative or absolute terms, from periods of economic weakness, tighter credit or financial market dislocations.

Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as general partner or investment manager for our specialized funds and customized separate accounts and the sensitivities to movements in the fair value of their investments, which may adversely affect our equity in income of investees. Since our management fees are generally based on commitments or net invested capital, our management fee and advisory fee revenue is not significantly impacted by changes in investment values.

Fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts may fluctuate in response to changes in the value of securities, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. The impact of investment risk is as follows:

•Equity in income of investees changes along with the realized and unrealized gains of the underlying investments in our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts in which we have a general partner commitment. Our general partner investments include thousands of unique underlying portfolio investments with no significant concentration in any industry or country outside of the United States.

•Management fees from our specialized funds and customized separate accounts are not significantly affected by changes in fair value as the management fees are not generally based on the value of the specialized funds or customized separate accounts, but rather on the amount of capital committed or invested in the specialized funds or customized separate accounts, as applicable.

•Incentive fees from our specialized funds and customized separate accounts are not materially affected by changes in the fair value of unrealized investments because they are based on realized gains and subject to achievement of performance criteria rather than on the fair value of the specialized fund’s or customized separate account’s assets prior to realization. Minor decreases in underlying fair value would not affect the amount of deferred incentive fee revenue subject to clawback.

Exchange Rate Risk

Several of our specialized funds and customized separate accounts hold investments denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies that may be affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currency, which could impact investment performance. The currency exposure related to investments in foreign currency assets is limited to our general partner interest, which is typically one percent of total capital commitments. We do not possess significant assets in foreign countries in which we operate or engage in material transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, changes in exchange rates are not expected to materially impact our financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2024, we had $195.6 million in borrowings outstanding under our Loan Agreements. The annual interest rate on the Term Loan Agreement, which is at the prime rate minus 1.25%, subject to a floor of 3.00%, was 6.75% as of September 30, 2024. The annual interest rate on the Revolving Loan Agreement, which is at the prime rate minus 1.50%, subject to a floor of 2.25%, was 6.50% as of September 30, 2024.

Based on the floating rate component of our Loan Agreements payable as of September 30, 2024, we estimate that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in increased interest expense of approximately $1.0 million over the next 12 months.

Credit Risk

We are party to agreements providing for various financial services and transactions that contain an element of risk in the event that the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In such agreements, we depend on the respective counterparty to make payment or otherwise perform. We generally endeavor to minimize our risk of exposure by limiting the counterparties with which we enter into financial transactions to reputable financial institutions. In other circumstances, availability of financing from financial institutions may be uncertain due to market events, and we may not be able to access these financing markets.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2024. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on management’s evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at September 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to various legal, regulatory and/or administrative proceedings from time to time. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such proceedings, in the opinion of management, we do not believe it is probable that any pending or, to our knowledge, threatened legal proceeding or claim would individually or in the aggregate materially affect our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table provides information about our repurchase activity with respect to shares of our Class A common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2024:


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased(1)	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs(2)
July 1 - 31, 2024	—	$	—	—	$	50,000,000
August 1 - 31, 2024	—	$	—	—	$	50,000,000
September 1 - 30, 2024	2,960	$	153.75	—	$	50,000,000
Total	2,960	$	153.75	—	$	50,000,000

(1) Represents shares of Class A common stock tendered by employees as payment of taxes withheld on the vesting of restricted stock granted under HLI’s Amended and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan.

(2) On November 6, 2018, we announced that our board of directors authorized the Stock Repurchase Program to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to 6% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock as of the date of the authorization, not to exceed $50 million. The authorization provides us the flexibility to repurchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time, based on market conditions and other factors. We have not repurchased any of our Class A common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program, so the full purchase authority remains available under this program, which expires 12 months after the date of the first acquisition under the authorization. Our board of directors most recently re-approved the Stock Repurchase Program in December 2023.

Item 5. Other Information

Trading Arrangements

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, none of the Company’s directors or officers adopted, terminated or modified any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	1. Organization Hamilton Lane Incorporated (“HLI”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 31, 2007 and, following its 2017 initial public offering, is a holding company whose principal asset is a controlling equity interest in Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. (“HLA”). As the sole managing member of HLA, HLI operates and controls all of the business and affairs of HLA, and through HLA, conducts its business. As a result, HLI consolidates HLA’s financial results and reports a non-controlling interest ("NCI") related to the portion of HLA units not owned by HLI. The assets and liabilities of HLA represent substantially all of HLI’s consolidated assets and liabilities with the exception of certain cash, certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, payables to related parties pursuant to a tax receivable agreement, and dividends payable. Unless otherwise specified, “the Company” refers to the consolidated entity of HLI, HLA and subsidiaries throughout the remainder of these notes. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, HLI held approximately 73.6% of the economic interest in HLA. As future exchanges of HLA units occur pursuant to the exchange agreement, the economic interest in HLA held by HLI will increase. HLA is a registered investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), providing asset management and advisory services, primarily to institutional investors, to design, build and manage private markets portfolios. HLA generates revenues primarily from management and advisory fees, comprised of specialized fund and customized separate account management fees, advisory and reporting fees and distribution management fees and, to a lesser extent, incentive fees, comprised of carried interest earned from our specialized funds and certain customized separate accounts structured as single-client funds in which we have a general partner commitment, and performance fees earned on certain other specialized funds and customized separate accounts. HLA sponsors the formation, and serves as the general partner or managing member, of various limited liability partnerships consisting of specialized funds and certain single client separate account entities (“Partnerships”) that acquire interests in third-party managed investment funds that make private equity and equity-related investments. The Partnerships may also make direct investments, including investments in debt, equity, and other equity-based instruments. The Company, which includes certain subsidiaries that serve as the general partner or managing member of the Partnerships, may invest its own capital in the Partnerships and generally makes all investment and operating decisions for the Partnerships. HLA operates several wholly owned entities through which it conducts its foreign operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (which consisted of only normal recurring items) so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in HLI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Accounting for Differing Fiscal Periods The Partnerships primarily have a fiscal year end as of December 31, and the Company accounts for its investments in the Partnerships using a three-month lag due to the timing of financial information received from the investments held by the Partnerships. The Partnerships primarily invest in private equity funds, which generally require at least 90 days following the calendar year end to present audited financial statements. The Company records its share of capital contributions to and distributions from the Partnerships in investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the three-month lag period. The results of the consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) are reported on a three-month lag, due to the timing of the receipt of related financial statements. The Company’s revenue earned from Partnerships, including both management and advisory fee revenue and incentive fee revenue, is not accounted for on a lag. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below: •Level 1: Values are determined using quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market. •Level 2: Values are determined using quoted prices for similar financial instruments and valuation models whose inputs are observable. •Level 3: Values are determined using pricing models that use significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The Company uses these levels of hierarchy to measure the fair value of certain financial instruments on a recurring basis, such as for investments; on a non-recurring basis, such as for acquisitions and impairment testing; for disclosure purposes, such as for long-term debt; and for other applications, as discussed in their respective notes. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, fees receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06 - Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this ASU incorporate 14 of the 27 disclosure requirements published in SEC Release No. 33-10532 - Disclosure Update and Simplification into various topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The amendments represent clarifications to, or technical corrections of, current requirements. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. Early adoption is prohibited. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU enhances segment disclosures primarily around significant segment expenses for both interim and annual periods. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements. In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require disclosures about certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order to stay the rules pending the completion of judicial review of multiple petitions challenging the rules. The rules, if implemented, would require information about a registrant’s climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks will also include disclosure of a registrant’s greenhouse gas emissions, if material. In addition, the rules will require registrants to present certain climate-related financial metrics in their audited financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements should the rules be implemented. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has issued Pillar Two model rules introducing a new global minimum tax of 15%. While the U.S. has not yet adopted the Pillar Two rules, various other governments around the world are enacting similar legislation. The Company is not within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax	11. Income Tax The Company’s effective tax rate used for interim periods is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate including the tax effect of items required to be recorded discretely in the interim period in which those items occur. The effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated amount of income subject to income tax; therefore, the effective tax rate can vary from period to period. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and adjusts the valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. The Company’s effective tax rates were 1.5% and 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 11.3% and 13.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rates were different from the statutory tax rates due to the portion of income allocated to NCI, valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets and discrete tax adjustments to true-up prior fiscal year estimated investment taxable income to actual investment taxable income reported to the Company after the prior fiscal year end. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax positions and believes there will be no changes to uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (which consisted of only normal recurring items) so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in HLI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
Accounting for Differing Fiscal Periods	Accounting for Differing Fiscal Periods The Partnerships primarily have a fiscal year end as of December 31, and the Company accounts for its investments in the Partnerships using a three-month lag due to the timing of financial information received from the investments held by the Partnerships. The Partnerships primarily invest in private equity funds, which generally require at least 90 days following the calendar year end to present audited financial statements. The Company records its share of capital contributions to and distributions from the Partnerships in investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the three-month lag period. The results of the consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) are reported on a three-month lag, due to the timing of the receipt of related financial statements. The Company’s revenue earned from Partnerships, including both management and advisory fee revenue and incentive fee revenue, is not accounted for on a lag.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below: •Level 1: Values are determined using quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market. •Level 2: Values are determined using quoted prices for similar financial instruments and valuation models whose inputs are observable. •Level 3: Values are determined using pricing models that use significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The Company uses these levels of hierarchy to measure the fair value of certain financial instruments on a recurring basis, such as for investments; on a non-recurring basis, such as for acquisitions and impairment testing; for disclosure purposes, such as for long-term debt; and for other applications, as discussed in their respective notes. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, fees receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06 - Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this ASU incorporate 14 of the 27 disclosure requirements published in SEC Release No. 33-10532 - Disclosure Update and Simplification into various topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The amendments represent clarifications to, or technical corrections of, current requirements. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. Early adoption is prohibited. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU enhances segment disclosures primarily around significant segment expenses for both interim and annual periods. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements. In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require disclosures about certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order to stay the rules pending the completion of judicial review of multiple petitions challenging the rules. The rules, if implemented, would require information about a registrant’s climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks will also include disclosure of a registrant’s greenhouse gas emissions, if material. In addition, the rules will require registrants to present certain climate-related financial metrics in their audited financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements should the rules be implemented. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has issued Pillar Two model rules introducing a new global minimum tax of 15%. While the U.S. has not yet adopted the Pillar Two rules, various other governments around the world are enacting similar legislation. The Company is not within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules.
