| Statement |
|---|
| We are confident that our solid foundations will enable us to accelerate momentum through profitable organic and inorganic growth globally across both of our segments |
| As we onboard strategic partners, deploy growth capital, and expand our global footprint, we are positioning the platform for long-term success |
| It really is an amazing history and the team has worked together for a very long time |
| Last year we achieved many milestones that have already set the stage for continued topline growth in 2024, and importantly, increased profitability in the years to come |
| We have a robust, actionable, M&A pipeline, and believe these relationships will lead to significant momentum |
| We have a clear path to organic growth through new client wins, given the expanded depth of resources, network, and talent, which these partners bring |
| In terms of this quarter -- excluding compensation, the normalized operating expenses were down a little bit, which we're really pleased with |
| This was an important year for our organization and we're excited about what AlTi can accomplish in 2024 |
| The fourth quarter reflected incentive fees primarily from the robust performance of the event-driven strategy in our Strategic Alternatives segment |
| These partnerships enhance AlTi's current strengths to further differentiate the firm from the competition as client demands continue to evolve |
| Quarter-over-quarter adjusted EBITDA improved $13 million to $10 million for the fourth quarter and for the full year adjusted EBITDA was $29 million |
| We believe our performance in the fourth quarter demonstrates the power of our diversified platform across Wealth Management and Strategic Alternatives |
| In Wealth Management, we had a record year of growth in the U.S., driven by market performance where we had a risk on bias given our view that the U.S |
| This infusion of growth capital positions us to continue our track record of attractive, profitable deals across both Alternatives and Wealth |
| As anticipated, our Strategic Alternatives segment generated robust incentive fees in the fourth quarter, resulting from the strong performance of the event-driven strategy, which is up 5.4% in the quarter and 10.5% for the year |
| This marked the 30th consecutive year of positive performance for the strategy, a remarkable achievement |
| This healthy performance not only benefits 2023 results, but also creates positive momentum for fundraising in 2024 |
| The strong topline performance in the quarter also reflected increased management fees, driven by the growth in AUM and AUA in the quarter, and the realization of incentive fees in our Wealth Management segment and higher origination fees in our Strategic Alternative segment |
| Our credit strategy is gaining traction because of its strong relative performance compared to the Asia High Yield Index, initial expectations of a recovery in that region, and the growing depth of the Asia credit markets |
| So we're very happy with the pipeline that we have globally and the opportunities that we continue to see as we go into 2024 |
| So you can have a very good quarter from the standpoint of prospecting and verbal wins with clients |
| We anticipate future transaction will be a significant driver of topline growth and margin expansion, as we build off the existing platform |
| These results highlight the diversification and strength of our platform, which we anticipate will continue to strengthen in 2024 |
| Revenues in our Wealth Management segment increased 9% sequentially to $38 million in the fourth quarter, reflecting 5% growth in assets resulting from robust market performance and net client wins, as well as incentive fees recorded in the period |
| There is a clear opportunity to expand revenue and lead generation opportunities across a larger and more globally diverse client base |
| Our adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 11% in Q4 |
| I'm confident that this progress, combined with the valuable partnerships we've established, position AlTi to deliver long-term profitable growth in the years to come |
| Importantly, the relationships enable AlTi to establish long-term partnerships with experienced and well-respected players in the global financial services sector |
| As growth and cost savings initiatives take hold in 2024, including those resulting from the strategic investments by Allianz X and CWC, we expect to see the impact of operating leverage to drive improvements, and greater consistency in our GAAP results and adjusted EBITDA |
| I'm proud of our team and appreciate all of the hard work they've put in, particularly since our listing to get us to where we are today |
| Statement |

| Despite pleasing progress in the top line results, we recorded a net loss of $87 million in the fourth quarter, reflecting $51 million of impairment and other charges in our Strategic Alternative segment, higher incentive compensation accruals, as well as certain other expenses which we expect to be non-recurring |
| Despite these strong topline results, our GAAP results were impacted primarily by decisions taken to restructure or exit unprofitable transaction-oriented businesses in our Strategic Alternatives segment |
| Consequently, we reported loss of $319 million for the full year of 2023 |
| So away from that, we were sort of down a little bit, quarter-over-quarter, which was pleasing for us |
| The event environment is off to a slightly slower start than the team expected |
| Normalized for one-off items, our adjusted net loss was $8 million for the year |
| Normalized for one-off items, our adjusted net loss in the fourth quarter was $6 million |
| So we are hopeful that the deal flow will continue to pick up, but you continue to see some regulatory and political interference at times, which create volatility in the space |
| would achieve an economic soft landing, as well as organic asset growth resulting from a combination of our business development efforts and asset increases from our existing clients |
| $34 million of the impairment charges related to the termination of our management contract for LXi, the UK-based publicly traded REIT, in connection with LXI's merger with LondonMetric, which was completed earlier this month |
| And as we work through and try to simplify the business and restructure some arrangements with some of the partners, it has led to those arrangements as they get restructured, the need to write down some carried interest receivables, which wouldn't be necessarily -- wouldn't be recoverable going forward, and also on equity method investment |
| Because these forward-looking statements involve both known and unknown risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements |
| And I think you guys highlighted some impairments on real estate |
