Total revenues increased by 19% year-over-year to $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This growth was driven primarily by a 14% increase in base management and advisory fees, reflecting successful capital raises across various strategies, including renewable power, real estate, and credit. Incentive fees also saw a 9% rise, indicating positive performance across key listed affiliates like BIP and BEP. Operationally, the company demonstrated robust performance with Segment Earnings increasing by 25% to $567 million for the quarter. This was supported by strong fee-bearing capital growth across most segments, particularly in Renewable Power & Transition and Credit.

Despite increased compensation expenses, largely due to higher share-based compensation as BAM's share price appreciated, the company maintained healthy profitability.
