Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
We expect these investments to drive core growth and provide a high ROI for investors
In 2023, we generated double-digit top line growth and strong profitability
As we've tried to underscore in this call, we're building upon P10s solid foundation to deliver accelerated growth in the coming years
With the benefit of that insight, I can say with confidence P10 is a world-class business made up of the leading minds in the middle market alternative investment space
Revenues increased by 22% and adjusted EBITDA rose by 16%
We expect double-digit revenue growth
And I'll just say, I have a background in that, I'm thrilled that we were able to recruit a world-class talent like RJ to help with that
As we scale the platform, we're going to build a best-in-class distribution network for our products across strategies
While we view this year as a table setting a year, ahead of acceleration in 2025 and beyond, we are a world-class platform that has momentum across world-class strategies
We are firm believers that this ownership stake results and strong alignment between the Company and our broader shareholder base
To close, I want to remind shareholders that the fundamentals of P10’s business remain exceptionally strong
I think from the listening tour perspective, the first and most compelling thing that came away almost universally was the incredible strength of our investing franchises and the incredible kind of talent that we have in every one of our investing strategies
Amanda's contributions to P10 cannot be overstated as she has helped build the strong financial and compliance functions that have positioned P10 for continued organic and inorganic growth
P10 delivered strong fourth quarter and full year operating results in 2023, which demonstrated the strength of our strategies and our position as a leading specialized private market solutions platform
I've spent decades doing those two things at the highest level and strongly believe that we are positioned to execute deals on a global scale
Moreover, our managers all have a world-class track record of investing excellence that has resulted in high levels of trust with our LPs
P10 continues to benefit from strategies with long track records of generating durable alpha and offering best-in-class investment opportunities to our global investors
The solid foundation that has been built to-date will form the basis of our success going forward
These priorities set the stage for an exciting 2024 as we invest to accelerate profitable growth in 2025 and beyond
Fourth generate operational efficiencies through incentivizing collaboration and leveraging data insights, and finally enhance our shareholder communications with an eye to greater visibility and transparency
Third implement a robust disciplined and process-driven approach to inorganic growth
Second, drive increased organic growth by expanding our existing client franchise through programmatic cross-selling and strategic partnerships
We expect these investments to drive our core growth and provide a high ROI for our investors
For the year, adjusted EBITDA grew from $106.8 million to $123.6 million, a 16% increase
The second thing I would say was kind of the trust and confidence that LPs have and continue to place in us and our ability to continue to drive and grow that LP base is really compelling
That is driven both by this fundraising activity as well as positive fee rate dynamics
And obviously, with the hope that the end result in that will be a meaningful uplift in our share price over time as we talked about and sort of the diminution or the elimination, frankly, at that discount that we've had relative to the peers
And I think the good news is our LPs have known us for a long time
And so look I would tell you I think the foundational investments we're making are going to be highly accretive to the franchise, highly ROI general to the franchise and will help us drive accelerating growth and margin on the forward with some of the offsets I just noted
Year-over-year revenue increased from $198.4 million to $241.7 million, up 22%
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
On a year-over-year basis, GAAP net income decreased from $29.4 million to a net loss of $7.8 million
For the quarter, our adjusted EBITDA margin was 48.7% and for the full year it was 51.1% In the fourth quarter, adjusted net income or ANI was $25.5 million, a 7% decrease over the $27.3 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2022
GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter was 1.9 million, a 139% decrease when compared to the year ago period
I think last year was negatively impacted by the step-down of like the older the more recent vintage of WTI
In a trust and performance business, our people are our greatest assets and we must set up an appropriate structure to drive success and accountability in this next phase of our growth
Despite the underlying strength of our platform and our positive financial results, since going public in 2021, we continue to face pressure on our valuation
I guess given your maybe your commentary about some pressure on margins this year on mix shift, I guess it's not going to be mixed from the catch-up fees
I suspect or parts of the M&A market given how robust it's gotten in the alternative space where that would be more of an impediment
As we have previously noted some of our newer and faster-growing businesses such as Bonaccord, Park and WTI have lower core adjusted EBITDA margins than other parts of our business and the overall margin will continue to reflect this evolution
Kenneth Worthington I guess this is in part due to the perception of Crossroads by
Some of our newer and faster-growing businesses such as Bon Accord, Hark, and WTI have a lower core adjusted EBITDA margins than other parts of our business and the overall margin will continue to reflect this evolution
Before I hand the call over to Amanda, I want to acknowledge some of the recent noise in the marketplace regarding a previously disclosed related party transaction with Crossroads
Look, I would say, thankfully, in many ways it really hasn't come up
Due to a number of risk factors and uncertainties that are described in greater detail in our earnings release and in our periodic reports filed from time to time with the SEC
