Summary

KKR & Co. Inc. reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2020, driven by significant net gains from investment activities and an increase in capital allocation-based income. Total revenues increased by approximately 11% year-over-year to $1.33 billion. The company's Net Income Attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. Common Stockholders rose by 36% to $698.6 million, leading to diluted earnings per share of $1.24. Despite the positive performance in the quarter, the six-month period reflected a net loss due to a substantial decrease in capital allocation-based income, largely attributed to market volatility and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The company's balance sheet saw an increase in total assets to $62.1 billion, while debt obligations also rose to $28.7 billion. KKR continues to manage its liquidity effectively and remains focused on its strategic growth initiatives, including the pending acquisition of Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited, which is expected to close in early 2021.
