Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed August 7, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Apollo Global Management, Inc. (APO) reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
The company experienced a notable increase in total revenues driven by its Asset Management segment, which saw strong growth in management fees. However, total revenues for the six-month period declined due to a significant drop in investment-related gains (losses) within the Retirement Services segment, primarily attributed to unfavorable foreign exchange impacts and changes in hedging derivatives. The Retirement Services segment, operated by Athene, showed growth in net investment income, but faced higher costs due to increased interest expenses and policy and other operating expenses.
The company's equity-based compensation expense, a significant operating cost, saw a slight increase in the quarter but a decrease year-over-year for the six-month period, influenced by the phasing out of certain one-time grants. Despite some headwinds, the company's overall segment income saw a substantial increase for both the three and six-month periods, driven by the robust performance of its Asset Management and Retirement Services segments.
