Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10‐K. Actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in such forward‐looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward‐Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Form 10‐K.

Executive Overview

Moelis & Company is a leading global independent investment bank that provides innovative strategic advice and solutions to a diverse client base, including corporations, governments, and financial sponsors. We assist our clients in achieving their strategic goals by offering comprehensive integrated financial advisory services across all major industry sectors. With over 20 locations in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, we advise clients on their most critical decisions, including mergers and acquisitions, recapitalizations and restructurings, capital markets transactions, and other corporate finance matters. Our ability to provide confidential, independent advisory services to our clients across sectors and regions and through all phases of the business cycle has led to long-term client relationships and a diversified revenue base.

As of December 31, 2025, we served our clients globally with 1,012 advisory bankers. We generate revenues primarily from providing advisory services on transactions that are subject to individually negotiated engagement letters which set forth our fees. We generally generate fees at key transaction milestones, such as closing, the timing of which is outside of our control. As a result, revenues and net income in any period may not be indicative of full year results or the results of any other period and may vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter. The performance of our business depends on the ability of our professionals to build relationships with clients over many years by providing trusted advice and exceptional transaction execution.

Business Environment and Outlook

Economic and global financial conditions can materially affect our operational and financial performance. See “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Form 10‐K for a discussion of some of the factors that can affect our performance. The M&A market data for announced and completed transactions in 2025 and 2024 referenced throughout this Form 10-K was obtained from LSEG - Financial Technology & Data (formerly known as Refinitiv), as of January 5, 2026 and January 6, 2025, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we earned GAAP revenues of $1,516.8 million compared with $1,194.5 million earned during the same period in 2024. This represents an increase of 27% compared to a 7% increase in the number of global completed M&A transactions greater than $100 million in the same period.

Our new business origination and deal activity are strong. The breadth and depth of M&A activity that emerged in late 2025 is expanding. Strategic acquirers are becoming more active as corporate boards demonstrate increased willingness to pursue larger, transformational transactions to enhance scale and address ongoing technological change. Financial sponsor activity is also increasing, supported by improved valuation alignment and the need to deploy and return capital to investors. Activity in our capital structure advisory business continues to be driven by liability management assignments and we anticipate more traditional restructurings as prior liability management solutions run their course. Our capital markets business has experienced significant growth, benefiting from increased investor risk appetite across growth-oriented sectors with strong capabilities in both the public and private markets. Following substantial investment in 2025, our private capital advisory business is gaining meaningful traction as the GP-led secondaries market continues to hit record levels.

Recent geopolitical events and market volatility may impact transaction activity levels and the timing of our revenues. However, we believe we are well-positioned to navigate these dynamic markets given our diversified capabilities, strong balance sheet, substantial liquidity and zero debt.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. For a discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, refer to “Item 7- Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

N/M = not meaningful

Revenues

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Each revenue‐generating engagement is separately solicited, awarded and negotiated, and there are usually no long‐term contracted sources of revenue. As a consequence, our fee‐paying client engagements are not predictable, and high levels of revenues in one period are not necessarily predictive of continued high levels of revenues in future periods. To develop new business, our professionals maintain an active dialogue with a large number of existing and potential clients. We add new clients each year as our bankers continue to expand their relationships, as we hire senior bankers who bring their client relationships and as we receive introductions from our relationship network of senior executives, board members, attorneys and other third parties. We also lose clients each year as a result of the sale or merger of clients, changes in clients’ senior management, competition from other financial services firms and other causes.

We earn substantially all of our revenues from advisory engagements, and, in many cases, we are not paid until the completion of an underlying transaction. The vast majority of our advisory revenues are recognized over time, although the recognition of our transaction fees are constrained until the engagement is substantially complete.

Complications that may terminate or delay a transaction include failure to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, failure to obtain required regulatory consents, failure to obtain board or stockholder approvals, failure to secure financing, adverse market conditions or unexpected operating or financial problems related to either party to the transaction. In these circumstances, we often do not receive advisory fees that would have been received if the transaction had been completed, despite the fact that we may have devoted considerable time and resources to the transaction. Barriers to the completion of a restructuring transaction may include a lack of anticipated bidders for the assets of our client, or the inability of our client to restructure its operations, or indebtedness due to a failure to reach agreement with its creditors. In these circumstances, our fees are generally limited to monthly retainer fees and reimbursement of certain out‐of‐pocket expenses.

We do not allocate our revenue by the type of advice we provide because of the complexity of the transactions on which we may earn revenue and our holistic approach to client service. For example, a restructuring engagement may evolve to require a sale of all or a portion of the client, M&A assignments can develop from relationships established on prior restructuring engagements, and capital markets expertise can be instrumental on both M&A and restructuring assignments.

Year Ended December 31, 2025 versus 2024

Revenues were $1,516.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared with $1,194.5 million for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 27%. The increase in revenues was driven by an increase in the average fees per completed transaction as compared to the prior year period.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we earned revenues from 363 clients and 406 clients, respectively, but more importantly, the number of clients that paid fees equal to or greater than $1 million was 254 clients and 241 clients, respectively.

Operating Expenses

The following table sets forth information relating to our operating expenses:

Year Ended December 31, Variance

Expenses:

Our operating expenses are classified as compensation and benefits expenses and non-compensation expenses. Compensation and benefits expenses account for the majority of our operating expenses. Non-compensation expenses, which include the costs of professional fees, travel and related expenses, communication, technology and information services, occupancy, depreciation and other expenses, generally have been less significant in comparison with compensation and benefits expenses.

Year Ended December 31, 2025 versus 2024

Operating expenses were $1,242.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and represented 82% of revenues, compared with $1,021.6 million for the same period in 2024 which represented 86% of revenues. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by increased compensation and benefits expense associated with higher revenues compared to the prior period.

Compensation and Benefits Expenses

Our compensation and benefits expenses are determined by management based on revenues earned, the results from investments where our employees and the Moelis advisory platform contributed meaningfully to the acquisition of the asset, the competitiveness of the prevailing labor market and anticipated compensation requirements for our employees, the level of recruitment of new Managing Directors and other bankers, the amount of compensation expenses amortized related to equity awards and other relevant factors. As a result, our compensation expenses may fluctuate materially in any particular period. Accordingly, the amount of compensation expenses recognized in any particular period may not be consistent with prior periods or indicative of future periods.

Our compensation expenses consist of base salary and benefits, annual incentive compensation payable as cash bonus awards, including certain amounts subject to clawback and contingent upon a required period of service (“contingent cash awards”) and amortization of equity-based compensation awards. Base salary and benefits are paid ratably throughout the year. Equity awards are amortized into compensation expenses on a graded basis (based upon the fair value of the award at the time of grant) during the service period (adjusted for retirement eligibility) over which the award vests, which is typically four or five years. The awards are recorded within equity as they are expensed. Contingent cash awards are amortized into compensation expenses over the required service period. Incentive compensation, which is accrued throughout the year, is discretionary and dependent upon a number of factors including the performance of the Company and is generally awarded and paid during the first two months subsequent to the performance year. The number of equity units granted as a component of the annual incentive award is determined with reference to the Company’s grant date fair value.

Year Ended December 31, 2025 versus 2024

For the year ended December 31, 2025, compensation-related expenses of $1,017.1 million represented 67% of revenues, compared with $830.2 million which represented 69% of revenues in the prior year. The increase in compensation and benefits is primarily attributable to a higher discretionary bonus expense accrual, as a result of higher revenues earned, and increased headcount as compared to the prior year period. As a percentage of revenues, compensation related expenses decreased as compared to the prior year period due to greater revenues.

Non‐Compensation Expenses

Our non-compensation expenses include the costs of occupancy, professional fees, communication, technology and information services, travel and related expenses, depreciation and other expenses.

Historically, our non-compensation expenses have increased as we have increased headcount which results from growing our business. This trend of growth in non-compensation expense may continue as we expand into new sectors, geographies and products to serve our clients’ growing needs.

Year Ended December 31, 2025 versus 2024

For the year ended December 31, 2025, non-compensation expenses of $225.9 million represented 15% of revenues, compared with $191.4 million, which represented 16% of revenues in the prior year period. The increase in non-compensation expenses is primarily related to increased deal-related travel and entertainment expenses, communication and technology expenses, and occupancy expenses driven by increased headcount.

Other Income and Expenses

Other income and expenses consists of earnings from equity method investments, gains and losses on investments, interest income and expense, and other infrequent gains or losses.

Year Ended December 31, 2025 versus 2024

Other income and expenses was income of $53.6 million and $23.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the income was primarily related to $20.6 million in income and net gains on financial assets, a gain of $19.1 million from the sale of 5,000,000 shares of our investment in MA Financial, $6.5 million in income associated with the forfeiture or return of compensation by former employees, and $5.2 million in income from the Company's investment in MA Financial. In the prior year, the income was primarily related to $12.4 million in income and net gains on financial assets, a $7.0 million gain on the sale of 5,000,000 shares of our investment in MA Financial, and $3.3 million from the Company's share of earnings in MA Financial.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s operations are comprised of entities that are organized as limited liability companies and limited partnerships. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, taxes related to income earned by these entities represent obligations of their interest holders, except for certain foreign, state and local income taxes (for example, the New York City unincorporated business tax ("UBT")). The Company is subject to U.S. corporate, federal, state, and local income tax on its allocable share of results of operations from Group LP.

Year Ended December 31, 2025 versus 2024

The Company’s provision for income taxes and effective tax rates were $67.9 million and 21% and $44.5 million and 23% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The income tax provision for the aforementioned periods primarily reflects the Company's allocable share of operating results from Group LP at the prevailing U.S. federal, state, and local corporate income tax rate, offset by the effect of the excess tax benefit recognized in connection with the delivery of equity-based compensation at an appreciated price above the grant date price for such equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our current assets have historically been comprised of cash, short-term liquid investments and receivables related to fees earned from providing advisory services. Our current liabilities are primarily comprised of accrued expenses, including accrued employee compensation. We pay a significant portion of incentive compensation during the first two months of each calendar year with respect to the prior year’s results. We also distribute estimated partner tax payments primarily in the first quarter of each year with respect to the prior year’s operating results. Therefore, levels of cash generally decline during the first quarter of each year after incentive compensation has been paid to our employees and estimated tax payments have been distributed to partners. Cash before dividends and share buybacks then typically builds over the remainder of the year.

We evaluate our cash needs on a regular basis in light of current market conditions. Cash and cash equivalents include all short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had cash equivalents of $427.8 million and $350.9 million, respectively, invested primarily in U.S. and U.K. sovereign debt securities, money market funds, and certificates of deposit. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had cash of $80.8 million and $61.5 million, respectively, maintained in U.S. and non‐U.S. bank accounts, of which most bank account balances exceeded the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and U.K. Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”) coverage limits.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we hold sovereign debt securities and certificates of deposit, which are both highly-liquid instruments in active markets, that are classified as investments on our consolidated statements of financial condition as they have original maturities of three months or more from the date of purchase. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company held $340.2 million and $147.9 million of investments, respectively, primarily composed of sovereign debt securities.

Our liquidity is highly dependent upon cash receipts from clients which generally requires the successful completion of transactions. The timing of receivable collections typically occurs within 60 days of billing. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, accounts receivable were $82.2 million and $51.4 million, respectively, net of allowances of $2.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

To provide for additional working capital and other general corporate purposes, we maintain two revolving credit facilities with aggregate base credit commitments of $50.0 million. The facility for corporate purposes has a base credit commitment of $5.0 million, and we can request a temporary increase of the credit amount by up to $45.0 million, not to exceed the capacity available under the FINRA credit line discussed below. This option may be exercised up to two times per year during the twelve-month term of the credit line. Upon lender approval, this facility can be extended past the maturity date of May 24, 2026 to June 30, 2027. The Company incurs a 0.25% per annum fee on the amount of the unused commitment. Advances on the facility bear interest at the greater of a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum or at the Company’s option of (i) SOFR plus 1.3% or (ii) Prime minus 1.50%.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the $5.0 million credit facility and the Company’s available committed credit, net of the FINRA credit line capacity, was $4.4 million as a result of the issuance of an aggregate amount of $0.6 million of various standby letters of credit, which were required in connection with certain office leases and other agreements.

In addition, Moelis & Company LLC ("U.S. Broker Dealer") maintains a $45.0 million revolving credit facility agreement pre-approved by FINRA to provide additional regulatory capital as necessary. Under the facility, U.S. Broker Dealer may borrow capital until May 23, 2026, the end of the credit period, and must repay aggregate principal balances by the maturity date of May 24, 2027. The Company incurs a 0.25% per annum fee on the amount of the unused commitment. Borrowings on the facility bear interest equal to the Prime rate, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September, and December of each calendar year. U.S. Broker Dealer had no borrowings under the credit facility and the available committed credit under this facility was $45.0 million as of December 31, 2025.

During February 2026, the Board of Directors of Moelis & Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share. The $0.65 per share will be paid on March 26, 2026 to Class A common stockholders of record on February 17, 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid aggregate dividends of $2.60 per share.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 1,133,371 shares and 196,416 shares, respectively, pursuant to the Company's share repurchase program and from its employees for the purpose of settling tax liabilities incurred upon delivery of equity-based compensation awards. In July 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of shares of Class A common stock and/or Class A partnership units of Group LP with no expiration date. The dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program was $1.5 million as of December 31, 2025. On February 4, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $300 million of Class A common stock and/or Class A partnership units of Group LP with no expiration date, bringing total repurchase authorization to $301.5 million.

Regulatory Capital

We actively monitor our regulatory capital base. Our principal subsidiaries are subject to regulatory requirements in their respective jurisdictions to ensure general financial soundness and liquidity. This requires, among other things, that we comply with certain minimum capital requirements, record‐keeping, reporting procedures, experience and training requirements for employees and certain other requirements and procedures. These regulatory requirements may restrict the flow of funds to and from affiliates. See Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements for further information. These regulations differ in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and other countries in which we operate a registered broker‐dealer. The license under which we operate in each such country is meant to be appropriate to conduct an advisory business. We believe that we provide each of our subsidiaries with sufficient capital and liquidity, consistent with their business and regulatory requirements.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the IPO in April 2014, we entered into a tax receivable agreement with our eligible Managing Directors that provides for the payment to eligible Managing Directors of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we realize as a result of (a) the increases in tax basis attributable to exchanges by our eligible Managing Directors and (b) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of this tax receivable agreement. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of income tax cash savings, if any, that we realize.

For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, income tax cash savings will be computed by comparing our actual income tax liability to the amount of such taxes that we would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Group LP as a result of the exchanges and had we not entered into the tax receivable agreement. The term of the tax receivable agreement commenced upon consummation of the IPO and will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the tax receivable agreement for an amount based on an agreed value of payments remaining to be made under the agreement.

Payments made under the tax receivable agreement are required to be made within 225 days of the filing of our tax returns. Because we generally expect to receive the tax savings prior to making the cash payments to the eligible selling holders of Group LP partnership units, we do not expect the cash payments to have a material impact on our liquidity.

In addition, the tax receivable agreement provides that, upon a merger, asset sale, or other form of business combination or certain other changes of control or if, at any time, we elect an early termination of the tax receivable agreement, our (or our successor’s) obligations with respect to exchanged or acquired units (whether exchanged or acquired before or after such change of control or early termination) will be based on certain assumptions, including that we would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions and tax basis and other benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement, and, in the case of an early termination election, that any units that have not been exchanged are deemed exchanged for the market value of the Class A common stock at the time of termination. Consequently, it is possible, in these circumstances, that the actual cash tax savings realized by us may be significantly less than the corresponding tax receivable agreement payments.

Cash Flows

Our operating cash flows are primarily influenced by the amount and timing of receipt of advisory fees, which are generally collected within 60 days of billing, and the payment of operating expenses, including payments of incentive compensation to our employees. We pay a significant portion of incentive compensation during the first two months of each calendar year with respect to the prior year’s results. Our investing and financing cash flows are primarily influenced by activities to fund investments and payments of dividends and estimated partner taxes. A summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows is as follows:

Year Ended December 31,

Cash provided by (used in)

Operating activities:

Year Ended December 31, 2025

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $509.4 million as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $96.2 million from $413.2 million as of December 31, 2024. Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $576.3 million primarily attributable to cash collected from clients, net of cash operating outflows, including discretionary bonuses paid during the period. Investing activities resulted in a net outflow of $196.0 million primarily attributable to net purchases of investments. Financing activities resulted in a net outflow of $283.9 million primarily related to the payment of dividends and tax distributions and treasury stock purchases.

Year Ended December 31, 2024

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $413.2 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $226.0 million from $187.2 million as of December 31, 2023. Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $427.5 million primarily attributable to cash collected from clients, net of cash operating outflows, including discretionary bonuses paid during the period. Investing activities resulted in a net inflow of $17.1 million primarily attributable to net proceeds from the sale of investments. Financing activities resulted in a net outflow of $215.1 million primarily related to the payment of dividends and tax distributions and treasury stock purchases.

Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has a total payable of $301.1 million due pursuant to the tax receivable agreement in the consolidated financial statements and of this amount, an estimated $32.2 million will be due in less than one year. These amounts represent management’s best estimate of the amounts currently expected to be owed under the tax receivable agreement. Payments made under the tax receivable agreement are required to be made within 225 days of the filing of our tax returns. We generally expect to receive the tax savings prior to making the cash payments to the eligible selling holders of Group LP partnership units. The Company made a payment of $0.3 million pursuant to the tax receivable agreement during 2025.

Additionally, the Company has contractual obligations related to its leases for corporate office space and an aircraft. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for details regarding when these obligations are due.

Market Risk and Credit Risk

Our business is not capital‐intensive and we do not invest in derivative instruments or, generally, borrow through issuing debt. As a result, we are not subject to significant market risk (including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk) or credit risk.

Risks Related to Cash and Short-Term Investments

Our cash and cash equivalents include all short‐term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. We invest most of our cash in U.S. and U.K. sovereign debt securities and money market securities. Cash is maintained in U.S. and non‐U.S. bank accounts. Most U.S. and U.K. account balances exceed the FDIC and FSCS coverage limits. Nearly all of our cash balance is held at institutions or at subsidiaries of institutions labeled as global systemically important banks by the Financial Stability Board. Despite the importance of these institutions, there can be no assurance of governmental or regulatory intervention to guarantee our uninsured deposits. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we hold sovereign debt securities that are classified as investments on our consolidated statement of financial condition as they have original maturities of three months or more (but less than twelve months) from the date of purchase. We believe our cash and short‐term investments are not subject to any material interest rate risk, equity price risk, credit risk or other market risk.

Credit Risk

We regularly review our accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable, and the current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay such amounts owed to the Company. We maintain an allowance for credit losses that, in our opinion, provides for an adequate reserve to cover losses that may be incurred. See “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses.”

Exchange Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to the risk that the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies may have an adverse effect on the reported value of the Company’s non‐U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities. Non‐functional currency‐related transaction gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the reported amounts of our revenues and other income from investments may be affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the pound sterling, euro, Brazilian real, Hong Kong dollar, Israeli shekel, rupee, Australian dollar, Saudi riyal and the U.S. dollar, in which our financial statements are denominated. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net impact of the fluctuation of foreign currencies in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income were losses of $0.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, primarily from the fluctuations of foreign currencies. We have not entered into any transactions to hedge our exposure to these foreign currency fluctuations through the use of derivative instruments or other methods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We believe that the critical accounting policies and estimates included below represent those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgment.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period for which they are determined to be necessary.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

We earn substantially all of our revenues by providing advisory services on mergers and acquisitions, recapitalizations and restructurings, capital markets transactions, private fundraisings and secondary transactions, and other corporate finance matters. The Company also acts as an underwriter of certain securities offerings. We provide our advisory services on an ongoing basis which, for example, may include evaluating and selecting one of multiple strategies. In many cases, we are not paid until the completion of an underlying transaction.

The Company recognizes the vast majority of its advisory services revenue over time, including reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses, when or as our performance obligations are fulfilled and collection is reasonably assured. The determination of whether revenues are recognized over time or at a point in time depends upon the type of service being provided and the related performance obligations. We identify the performance obligations in our engagement letters and determine which services are distinct (i.e. separately identifiable and the client could benefit from such service on its own). We allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations by estimating the amount of consideration we expect in exchange for providing each service. Both the identification of performance obligations and the allocation of transaction price to the respective performance obligations requires significant judgment.

During such advisory engagements, our clients are continuously benefitting from our advice and the over time recognition matches the transfer of such benefits. However, the recognition of transaction fees, which are variable in nature, is constrained until substantially all services have been provided, specified conditions have been met (e.g. transaction closing) and it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in a future period. Upfront fees and retainers specified in our engagement letters that meet the over time criteria will be recognized on a systematic basis over the estimated period where the related services are performed.

With respect to fairness opinions, fees are fixed and delivering the opinion is a separate performance obligation from other advisory services that may be promised under the same engagement letter; as such these revenues are recognized at a point in time when the engagement is formally completed and the client can obtain substantially all of the benefits from the service. Similarly, underwriting engagements are typically a single performance obligation and fees are generally recognized as revenue when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group. In these instances, point in time recognition appropriately matches the transfer and consumption of our services.

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred since such costs are generally not recoverable and the typical duration of our advisory contracts is less than one year. Costs to fulfill contracts consist of out-of-pocket expenses that are part of performing our advisory services and are typically expensed as incurred, except where the transfer and consumption of our services occurs at a point in time. For engagements recognized at a point in time, out-of-pocket expenses are capitalized and subsequently expensed in the consolidated statement of operations upon completion of the engagement. The Company records deferred revenues when it receives fees from clients that have not yet been earned (e.g. an upfront fee) or when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration before all performance obligations are complete (e.g. upon satisfying conditions to earn an announcement fee, but before the transaction is consummated).

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

The accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition present accounts receivable balances net of allowance for credit losses based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses that, in management’s opinion, provides for an adequate reserve to cover its current expectation of future losses as of the reporting date. For purposes of determining appropriate allowances, the Company stratifies its population of accounts receivable into two categories, one for short-term receivables and a second for private capital advisory receivables. Each population is separately evaluated using an aging method that results in a percentage reserve based on the age of the receivable, in addition to considerations of historical write-offs and current economic conditions.

losses. If a reserved accounts receivable is subsequently collected, such reversals reduce the gross receivable and the allowance for credit losses and is a reduction of bad debt expense, which is recorded within other expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The combination of reversals and the provision for credit losses of a reported period comprise the Company’s bad debt expense.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of its assets and liabilities by applying the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Such net tax effects on temporary differences are reflected on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition as deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company believes that it is more‐likely‐than‐not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a two‐step approach for the recognition and measurement of tax benefits associated with the positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. The Company has reviewed and will continue to review the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions, which may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no unrecognized tax benefit was recorded. To the extent that the Company’s assessment of the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions changes as a result of the evaluation of new information, such change in estimate will be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. The Company reports income tax‐related interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions, if applicable, as a component of income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no such amounts were recorded.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 45

Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 46

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 54

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of Moelis & Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

•

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

•

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and

•

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued its written attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as included below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Moelis & Company

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Moelis & Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes of the Company and our report dated February 26, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholdersand the Board of Directors of Moelis & Company

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Moelis & Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue— Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company recognizes revenues from transaction fees as obligations are fulfilled and collection is reasonably assured. However, the recognition of transaction fees is constrained until substantially all services have been provided, specified conditions have been met and it is probable a revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. In certain instances, transaction fees may meet the criteria for recognition during a given reporting period although the transaction closed subsequent to the reporting period-end date. The accounting for these instances involves significant management judgment, particularly as it relates to assessing whether (1) all conditions to recognize revenue have been met prior to the transaction closing and (2) it is probable a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period.

We identified the recognition of transaction fees at year end as a critical audit matter because of the judgment required to assess whether (1) all conditions to recognize revenue have been met prior to the transaction closing and (2) it is probable a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. As such, auditing these transactions involved especially subjective judgment.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to assessing the reporting period in which transaction fees were recognized included the following, among others:

•

We tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Company's controls over revenue recognition, including controls over the Company's assessment of transactions that closed subsequent to the period-end date which might meet the criteria for recognition during the year ended December 31, 2025.

•

We selected a sample of revenue transactions recognized shortly before and after the period-end date, and performed the following procedures:

•

Evaluated whether all conditions to recognize revenue had been met as of the period-end date and management's assertion it was probable a significant revenue reversal would not occur in the future, including (1) inquiry of management and (2) examination of documentation surrounding the transaction, including correspondence with parties outside of the Company and with members of the advisory deal teams.

•

Compared the revenue recognized to the consideration received or expected to be received based on the terms included in the engagement letter and any modifications agreed upon with customers.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting—The Company prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the combined operations, assets and liabilities of the Company. The Notes are an integral part of the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation—The Company’s policy is to consolidate (i) entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, (ii) variable interest entities where the Company has a variable interest and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (iii) limited partnerships where the Company has ownership of the majority of voting interests. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts significant influence over the entity’s operating and financial decisions, the Company applies the equity method of accounting in which it records in earnings its share of income or losses of the entity. All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company’s subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which they are determined to be necessary.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions regarding:

•

the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses;

•

the assessment of whether revenues from variable consideration should be constrained due to the probability of a significant revenue reversal;

•

the assessment of probable lease terms and the measurement of the present value of such obligations;

•

the measurement of equity-based compensation;

•

the assessment of long-lived assets for impairment and measurement of impairment, if applicable;

•

the measurement and realization of deferred taxes;

•

the measurement of amount due pursuant to tax receivable agreement; and

•

other matters that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of contingencies in the consolidated financial statements.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash— Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.

The Company’s cash is maintained in U.S. and non-U.S. bank accounts, of which most bank account balances had little or no insurance coverage (most balances are held in U.S. and U.K. accounts which exceeded the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and U.K. Financial Services Compensation Scheme coverage limits). The Company’s cash equivalents are invested primarily in U.S. and U.K. sovereign debt securities and money market funds.

The Company’s restricted cash is comprised of collateral deposits primarily held by certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. These deposits are required for certain direct debit accounts and are also used to satisfy future U.S. medical claims. A reconciliation of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, is presented below.

December 31,

Receivables—The accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition present accounts receivable balances net of allowance for credit losses based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts.

Included in the accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1,686 and $2,377, respectively, of long-term receivables related to private capital advisory engagements, which are generally paid in installments over a period of three to four years. Long-term receivables generated interest income of $123, $86, and $209 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, recorded in other income and expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses that, in management’s opinion, provides for an adequate reserve to cover losses that may be incurred. For purposes of determining appropriate allowances, the Company stratifies its population of accounts receivable into two categories, one for short-term receivables and a second for private capital advisory receivables. Each population is separately evaluated using an aging method that results in a percentage reserve based on the age of the receivable, in addition to considerations of historical write-offs and current economic conditions.

After concluding that a reserved accounts receivable is no longer collectible, the Company will write-off the receivable. This has the effect of reducing both the gross receivable and the allowance for credit losses. If a reserved accounts receivable is subsequently collected, such reversals reduce the gross receivable and the allowance for credit losses and is a reduction of bad debt expense, which is recorded within other expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The combination of reversals and the provision for credit losses of a reported period comprise the Company’s bad debt expense.

The following tables summarize credit loss allowance activity for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Allowance for Credit Losses Allowance for Credit Losses

Deferred Compensation—Deferred compensation costs represent arrangements with certain employees whereby cash payments are subject to a required period of service subsequent to payment by the Company. These amounts are charged to expenses over the period that the employee is required to provide services in order to vest in the payment.

Financial Instruments at Fair Value—Fair value is generally based on quoted prices, however if quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on other relevant factors, including dealer price quotations, price activity for equivalent instruments and valuation pricing models. The Company established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of instrument, the characteristics specific to the instrument and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Financial instruments with readily‐available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively‐quoted prices in an orderly market will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories (from highest to lowest level of observability) based on inputs:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical instruments that the Company has the ability to access as of the reporting date. The Company, to the extent that it holds such instruments, does not adjust the quoted price for these instruments, even in situations in which the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably affect the quoted price.

Level 2—Pricing inputs that are significant to the overall fair value measurement are observable for the instruments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as those used in Level 1. Fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3—Pricing inputs that are significant to the overall fair value measurement are unobservable for the instruments and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investments. The determination of fair value is based on the best information available, may incorporate management's own assumptions, and involves a significant degree of judgment.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given investment is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the instrument. The Company’s methodology for reclassifications impacting the fair value hierarchy is that transfers in/out of the respective category are reported at fair value as of the beginning of the period in which the reclassification occurred.

Equity Method Investments—The Company accounts for its investments under the equity method of accounting when the Company does not control the investee but has the ability to exercise significant influence. The amounts recorded in investments on the consolidated statements of financial condition reflect

the Company’s share of contributions made to, distributions received from, and the equity earnings and losses of, the investee. The Company reflects its share of gains and losses of the investee in other income and expenses in theconsolidated statements of operations using the most recently available earnings data at the end of the period.

Leases — The Company maintains operating leases for corporate offices and an aircraft. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date and are measured at the present value of anticipated lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU assets are equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for certain lease incentives, accrued rents, and prepaid rents. Typically, our borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of lease payments because the implicit rate is not readily determinable. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are factored into our present value calculations when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets are evaluated for impairment when an event or change in circumstances indicates the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If this occurs, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the assets.

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements— Office equipment and furniture and fixtures are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is determined using the straight‐line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years, respectively. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated amortization, which is determined using the straight‐line method over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. Assets that are in development and have not yet been placed in service are generally classified as “Construction in Progress” and are reclassified to the appropriate category when the associated assets are placed in service. Equipment and leasehold improvements are evaluated for impairment when an event or change in circumstances indicates the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If this occurs, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the assets. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the consolidated statements of financial condition and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Software— Costs related to implementation of cloud computing arrangements that qualify for capitalization are stated at cost less accumulated amortization within prepaid and other assets on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition. Such capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the cloud computing service contract or another rational basis, beginning when the cloud computing arrangement is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. All costs not directly related to the implementation of cloud computing arrangements, including overhead costs and costs of service agreements, are expensed in the period they are incurred. The amortization expense of such capitalized costs are presented under communication, technology and information services on the consolidated statement of operations.

Deferred Tax Asset and Amount Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreement –In conjunction with the IPO, the Company was treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having directly purchased Class A partnership units in Group LP from the existing unitholders. Additional Group LP Class A partnership units may be issued and exchanged for shares of Class A common stock in the Company. The initial purchase and future exchanges are expected to result in an increase in the tax basis of Group LP’s assets attributable to the Company’s interest in Group LP. These increases in the tax basis of Group LP’s assets attributable to the Company’s interest in Group LP would not have been available but for the initial purchase and future exchanges. Such increases in tax basis are likely to increase (for tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions and therefore reduce the amount of income tax the Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future. As a result, the Company records a deferred tax asset for such increase in tax basis.

The Company has entered into a tax receivable agreement with its eligible Managing Directors that will provide for the payment by the Company to its eligible Managing Directors of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company actually realizes as a result of (a) the increases in tax basis attributable to exchanges by its eligible Managing Directors and (b) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of this tax receivable agreement. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any, in income tax that it realizes and record any such estimated tax benefits as an increase to additional paid‐in‐capital. For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, cash savings in income tax will be computed by comparing the Company’s actual income tax liability to the amount of such taxes that it would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Group LP as a result of the exchanges and had it not entered into the tax receivable agreement. The term of the tax receivable agreement commenced upon consummation of the IPO and will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement for an amount based on an agreed value of payments remaining to be made under the agreement. The Company has recorded the estimated tax benefits related to the increase in tax basis and imputed interest as a result of the initial purchase and subsequent exchanges described above as a deferred tax asset in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The amount due to its eligible Managing Directors related to the tax receivable agreement as a result of the initial purchase and subsequent exchanges described above is recorded as amount due pursuant to tax receivable agreement in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The amounts recorded for the deferred tax asset and the liability for our obligations under the tax receivable agreement are estimates. Any adjustments to our estimates subsequent to their initial establishment will be included in net income (loss). Future exchanges of Class A partnership units in Group LP for Class A common shares in the Company will be accounted for in a similar manner.

Revenue and Expense Recognition—We earn substantially all of our revenues by providing advisory services on mergers and acquisitions, recapitalizations and restructurings, capital markets transactions, private fundraisings and secondary transactions and other corporate finance matters. The Company also acts as an underwriter of certain securities offerings. We provide our advisory services on an ongoing basis which, for example, may include evaluating and selecting one of multiple strategies. In many cases, we are not paid until the completion of an underlying transaction.

The Company recognizes the vast majority of its advisory services revenues over time, including reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses, when or as our performance obligations are fulfilled and collection is reasonably assured. The determination of whether revenues are recognized over time or at a point in time depends upon the type of service being provided and the related performance obligations. We identify the performance obligations in our engagement letters and determine which services are distinct (i.e. separately identifiable and the client could benefit from such service on its own). We allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations by estimating the amount of consideration we expect in exchange for providing each service. Both the identification of performance obligations and the allocation of transaction price to the respective performance obligations requires significant judgment.

During such advisory engagements, our clients are continuously benefiting from our advice and the over time recognition matches the transfer of such benefits. However, the recognition of transaction fees, which are variable in nature, is constrained until substantially all services have been provided, specified conditions have been met (e.g. transaction closing) and it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in a future period. Upfront fees and retainers specified in our engagement letters that meet the over time criteria will be recognized on a systematic basis over the estimated period where the related services are performed.

As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had deferred revenues of $9,076 and $5,585, respectively. These amounts primarily consist of certain transaction fees, upfront fees and retainers for our services. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, $5,585 and $4,649 of revenues were recognized from the opening balance of deferred revenues, respectively.

Complications that may terminate or delay a transaction include failure to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, failure to obtain required regulatory consents, failure to obtain board or stockholder approvals, failure to secure financing, adverse market conditions or unexpected operating or financial problems related to either party to the transaction. In these circumstances, we often do not receive advisory fees that would have been received if the transaction had been completed, despite the fact that we may have devoted considerable time and resources to the transaction. Barriers to the completion of a restructuring transaction may include a lack of anticipated bidders for the assets of our client, the inability of our client to restructure its operations, or indebtedness due to a failure to reach agreement with its creditors. In these circumstances, our fees are generally limited to monthly retainer fees and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses.

Due to the factors that may delay or terminate a transaction, the Company does not estimate constrained transaction fees for revenue recognition. Quantitative disclosures of constrained variable consideration are not provided for remaining, wholly unsatisfied, performance obligations. The remaining performance obligations related to retainers, upfront fees and announcement fees are typically associated with contracts that have durations of one year or less.

Equity‐based Compensation—The Company recognizes the cost of services received in exchange for equity instrument awards. The cost of such awards reflects the grant‐date fair value, which is typically based on quoted market prices of the Company's stock at the time of grant, amortized over the service period required by the award’s vesting terms. The Company also grants equity-based awards with post-vesting restrictions or market conditions. For these types of awards the grant-date fair value reflects the post-vesting restrictions or the probability of achieving the market conditions. The Company also recognizes the cost of services received from a non-employee in exchange for an equity instrument based on the award's grant-date fair value. The Company accounts for forfeitures of equity awards as the forfeitures occur. The Company records shares repurchased from its employees for the purpose of settling tax liabilities incurred upon the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as treasury stock. The Company records dividends in kind, net of forfeitures, on outstanding RSUs as a reduction of retained earnings with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital, resulting in no net change to equity. Dividends in kind on RSUs and other stock-based awards are subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying awards on which they were accrued. Dividends in kind will be forfeited if the underlying award does not vest.

The Company has terms that qualify certain employees to terminate their services while not forfeiting certain qualifying incentive awards granted during employment. For qualifying awards, (i) the employee must be at least 56 years old, (ii) the employee must have provided at least 5 consecutive years of service to the

Company and (iii) the total of (i) and (ii) must be equal to at least 65 years. Any such awards will continue to vest on their applicable vesting schedule, subject to noncompetition and other terms. Over time a greater number of employees may become retirement eligible and the related requisite service period over which we will expense these awards will be shorter than the stated vesting period. Unvested RSUs and certain stock-based awards are eligible to receive dividends in kind; however, the right to dividends in kind will be forfeited if the underlying award does not vest.

Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of its assets and liabilities by applying the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Such net tax effects on temporary differences are reflected on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company believes that it is more‐likely‐than‐not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740-10 prescribes a two‐step approach for the recognition and measurement of tax benefits associated with the positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. The Company has reviewed and will continue to review the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions, which may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, no unrecognized tax benefit was recorded. To the extent that the Company’s assessment of the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions changes as a result of the evaluation of new information, such change in estimate will be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. The Company reports income tax‐related interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions, if applicable, as a component of income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, no such amounts were recorded.

The Company recognizes excess tax benefits and deficiencies as income tax benefits or expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. These are reflected in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities within the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Foreign Currency Translation—Assets and liabilities held in non‐U.S. dollar denominated currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. A charge or credit is recorded to other comprehensive income to reflect the translation of these amounts to the extent the non‐U.S. currency is designated the functional currency of the subsidiary. Non‐functional currency related transaction gains and losses are immediately recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 improves public entity disclosures by requiring the disaggregation of certain expense categories in the notes to the financial statements for qualifying entities. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" ("ASU 2025-05"). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient allowing entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-05 to have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—

Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by updating the cost capitalization threshold through eliminating project development stages and enhancing guidance around the "probable-to-complete" threshold. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Upon initial evaluation, the Company does not

expect the adoption of ASU 2025-06 to have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

FIXED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Equipment and leasehold improvements, net consists of the following:

December 31, December 31,

Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization (61,112) (51,396)

Equipment and leasehold improvements, net $ 89,787 $ 65,451

Depreciation and amortization expenses for fixed assets totaled $11,879, $10,444 and $8,317 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were $768 and $954 of costs capitalized, net of $2,103 and $1,917 of accumulated amortization, respectively, within prepaid expenses and other assets on our consolidated statements of financial condition related to the implementation of cloud computing arrangements. The amortization expense of the capitalized costs was $186, $197, and $488 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The amortization expense was recorded within communication, technology and information services on the consolidated statements of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized impairment charges of $558 on certain leasehold improvements. See Note 12 for further details.

INVESTMENTS

Investments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value investments are presented within investments on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. See Note 2 for further information on the Company's fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of sovereign debt securities and money market funds are based on quoted prices for recent trading activity in identical or similar instruments. The Company primarily invests in U.S. and U.K. sovereign debt securities with maturities of less than twelve months and we consider these securities to be risk free. Therefore, we do not reserve for expected credit losses on these investments. The Company also holds certificates of deposit, which are held at carrying value.

Fair Value of Financial Assets

The fair value of the Company's financial assets as of December 31, 2025, have been categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

Financial assets:

Cash equivalents

Total financial assets included in cash equivalents 427,780 — 427,780 —

Investments

Total financial assets included in investments 340,247 — 340,247 —

For sovereign debt securities measured at fair value and held at the reporting date, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $2,378 for the year ended December 31, 2025. All gains and losses were recognized in other income and expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The cost basis of the investments recorded at fair value shown in the preceding table and included in investments on the consolidated statement of financial condition was $337,869 as of December 31, 2025.

The fair value of the Company's financial assets as of December 31, 2024, have been categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

Financial assets:

Cash equivalents

Total financial assets included in cash equivalents 350,922 — 350,922 —

Investments

Total financial assets included in investments 147,924 — 147,924 —

For sovereign debt securities measured at fair value and held at the reporting date, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $3,020 for the year ended December 31, 2024. All gains and losses were recognized in other income and expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The cost basis of the investments recorded at fair value shown in the preceding table and included in investments on the consolidated statement of financial condition was $144,904 as of December 31, 2024.

Equity Method Investments

Equity-method investments are presented within investments on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the carrying value of the Company's equity method investment in MA Financial (formerly known as Moelis Australia Limited) was $28,825 and $36,677, respectively. The Company’s share of earnings on this investment is recorded in other income and expenses on the consolidated statements of operation.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, MA Financial declared dividends, of which the Company received $2,347, $3,107, and $3,092, respectively. The Company accounted for the dividends as returns on investment and reduced the carrying value of the investment in MA Financial by the amount of dividends received.

During each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company sold 5,000,000 shares of MA Financial common stock and the Company's ownership interest in MA Financial was reduced. These transactions resulted in gains of $19,092 and $6,975, respectively, recorded in other income and expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

From time to time, MA Financial may issue shares in connection with a transaction or employee compensation which reduces the Company's ownership interest in MA Financial and can result in dilution gains or losses. Such gains or losses are recorded in other income and expenses on the consolidated statements of operation.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. These temporary differences result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities included on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition are as follows:

For the Year Ended December 31,

Net deferred tax asset before valuation allowance 458,789 479,312

Valuation allowance on NOL and other (16,132) (15,475)

The Company recorded a decrease in the net deferred tax asset of $39,827 for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was primarily attributable to amortization of the tax basis in Group LP assets, partially offset by an increase in the step-up in tax basis in Group LP assets in connection with the exchanges of Group LP partnership units for Class A common stock during 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had accumulated net operating loss carryforwards related to its operations of approximately $103,083 for which it has recorded a deferred tax asset of $25,425. All of the operating losses and related deferred tax assets have an indefinite life.

The following is a supplemental schedule of cash paid for income taxes (net of refunds):

For the Year Ended December 31,

U.S. Federal $ 2,794 $ — $ —

U.S. States and Local 2,790 — —

Total income taxes paid, net of amount refunded $ 9,300 — —

Individual jurisdictions equaling 5% or more of the total income taxes paid (net of refunds) for the year ended December 31, 2025 include U.S. federal tax payments of $2,794. Remaining payments were made to various state, local and foreign jurisdictions that were not significant to the total taxes in our consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s operations are generally comprised of entities that are organized as limited liability companies and limited partnerships. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, taxes related to income earned by these entities generally represent obligations of their interest holders. The Company is subject to certain foreign, state and local entity-level taxes (for example, the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax ("UBT")). In addition, the Company is subject to U.S. corporate federal, state and local income tax on its allocable share of results of operations from Group LP.

The Company’s tax years for 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2020 are generally subject to examination by the tax authorities. Tax examinations are monitored on an ongoing basis and adjustments to tax liabilities are made as appropriate.

The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits for the periods ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CLASS A COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

The calculations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to holders of shares of Class A common stock for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are presented below.

Year Ended December 31,

Denominator:

Add (deduct) dilutive effect of:

Noncontrolling interests related to Class A partnership units (a) (a) (a)

We have not included the impact of Class B common stock because these shares are entitled to an insignificant amount of economic participation.

(a)

Class A partnership units may be exchanged for Moelis & Company Class A common stock on a one‐for‐one basis, subject to applicable exchange restrictions. If all Class A partnership units were to be exchanged for Class A common stock, fully diluted Class A common stock outstanding would be 85,698,993 shares for the year ended December 31, 2025, 82,710,678 shares for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 74,739,488 shares for the year ended December 31, 2023. In computing the dilutive effect, if any, that the aforementioned exchange would have on net income (loss) per share, net income (loss) available to holders of Class A common stock would be adjusted due to the elimination of the noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities associated with the Group LP Class A partnership units (including any tax impact). For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, such exchange is not reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share as the assumed exchange is not dilutive.

(b)

Certain RSUs assumed to be issued as Class A common stock pursuant to the treasury stock method were antidilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Moelis & Company for certain periods. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, there were 39,613 RSUs, 7,388 RSUs, and 3,771 RSUs that would have been included in the treasury stock method calculation if the effect were dilutive, respectively.

(c)

The Company incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, and as a result the assumed issuance of any Class A common stock pursuant to the treasury stock method is antidilutive. There were 4,292,742 shares pursuant to the treasury stock method related to unvested RSUs that were excluded from diluted share count for the year ended December 31, 2023. If such shares were

included, diluted Class A common stock outstanding would be 72,793,760 shares for the year ended December 31, 2023.

EQUITY‐BASED COMPENSATION

Omnibus Incentive Plans

In connection with the IPO, the Company adopted the Moelis & Company 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) to provide additional incentives to selected officers, employees, Managing Directors, non‐employee directors, independent contractors, partners, senior advisors and consultants. On June 6, 2024, stockholders approved the Moelis & Company 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"), which replaces the 2014 Plan that expired by its terms on April 14, 2024. The 2024 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 15,000,000 shares plus any shares associated with awards granted under the 2014 Plan outstanding as of April 14, 2024 that are subsequently forfeited, canceled, exchanged or surrendered without distribution of shares, or settled in cash. Issuances pursuant to the 2024 Plan may be in the form of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, RSUs, stock bonuses, other stock‐based awards (including partnership interests that are exchangeable into stock upon satisfaction of certain conditions) and cash awards.

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") and other stock-based awards

Pursuant to the 2024 Plan and in connection with the Company’s annual compensation process and ongoing hiring process, the Company issues RSUs and other stock-based awards which generally vest over a service life of four to five years. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized expenses of $230,261, $161,445, and $158,189, respectively, related to RSUs and other stock-based awards.

As of December 31, 2025, the total compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and other stock-based awards not yet recognized was $215,140, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted‐average period of 1.7 years.

Restricted Stock Units

Partnership Units

The Company also issues partnership units that are intended to qualify as "profits interest" for U.S. federal income tax purposes ("Partnership Units") that, subject to certain terms and conditions, are exchangeable into shares of Moelis & Company Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. These Partnership Units are recorded as noncontrolling interests in the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition. Partnership Units generally vest over a service life of two to five years, however in certain arrangements the Partnership Units are granted without a service requirement, but do not have exchange rights until the second through fifth anniversaries of the grant-date. The expense for Partnership Units is recognized over the service period and reflects the fair value determined at grant-date, which may factor in

other attributes, such as post-vesting restrictions. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted 822,931, 415,753, and 482,941 Partnership Units, respectively, with grant-date fair values of $54,766, $20,914, and $20,037, respectively.

Performance Units

Certain Partnership Units and RSUs vest upon the achievement of both market conditions and service requirements that are generally over three to five years ("Performance Units"). These units accrue dividends in kind, which are subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying Performance Units. The expense for Performance Units is recognized over the service period and reflects the fair value determined at grant-date, which factors in the probability of the market conditions being achieved. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 450,000 Performance Units which represents the maximum number of units that will vest if the pre-specified market conditions are achieved and service requirements are met. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted 91,498 and 100,722 target Performance Units (with maximum vesting of up to 150% of the target units if the pre-specified market conditions are achieved and service requirements are met). The grant-date fair values for the 2025, 2024, and 2023 Performance Units were $18,599, $5,133, and $4,594, respectively.

STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

Class A Common Stock

In April 2014, the Company issued 15,263,653 shares of Class A common stock in connection with the IPO and reorganization. Since its IPO, the Company has conducted several offerings of Class A common stock in order to facilitate organized liquidity and increase the public float of its Class A common stock. The aggregate increase to Class A common stock as a result of such offerings was 24,923,349 shares. The Company did not retain any proceeds from the sale of its Class A common stock.

As of December 31, 2025, there were 84,935,154 shares of Class A common stock issued, 11,514,247 shares of treasury stock, and 73,420,907 shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, there were 80,970,827 shares of Class A common stock issued, 10,380,876 shares of treasury stock, and 70,589,951 shares outstanding.

The changes in Class A common stock since the IPO are due primarily to the follow-on offering transactions described above, exchanges of Class A partnership units, the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units issued in connection with the Company’s annual compensation process and ongoing hiring.

Class B Common Stock

In conjunction with Moelis & Company’s IPO of its Class A common stock, the Company issued 36,158,698 shares of Class B common stock. Moelis & Company Partner Holdings LP (“Partner Holdings”) holds all shares of Class B common stock, enabling it initially to exercise majority voting control over the Company. In connection with the Company’s offerings of Class A common stock described above, 24,919,744 shares of Class B common stock were purchased from Partner Holdings at a cost of $550. The economic rights of Class B common stock are based on the ratio of the Class B subscription price to the initial public offering price of shares of Class A common stock (.00055 to 1). Shares of Class B common stock are generally not transferable and, if transferred other than in the limited circumstances set forth in Moelis & Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, such shares shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Class A common stock, or dollar equivalent. Each share of Class B common stock may also be converted to a number of Class A shares at the option of the holder. Holders of shares of Class B common stock are entitled to receive dividends of the same type as any dividends payable on outstanding shares of Class A common stock at a ratio of .00055 to 1.

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, 4,191,326 and 4,331,619 shares of Class B common stock were issued and outstanding, respectively, due primarily to the IPO and offering transactions, and Class B conversions described above.

Treasury Stock

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 1,133,371 and 196,416 shares, respectively, pursuant to the Company's repurchase program and from its employees for the purpose of settling tax liabilities incurred upon the delivery of equity-based compensation awards. The result of the repurchases was an increase of $74,591 and $10,842, respectively,in the treasury stock balance on the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in equity as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Share Repurchase Plan

In July 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100,000 of shares of Class A common stock and/or Class A partnership units of Group LP with no expiration date. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual number of shares repurchased will be opportunistic and measured in nature and will depend on a variety of factors, including price and market conditions. The dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program was $1,479 as of December 31, 2025.

On February 4, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $300,000 of Class A common stock and/or Class A partnership units of Group LP with no expiration date, bringing total repurchase authorization to $301,479.

Noncontrolling Interests

A Group LP Class A partnership unit (not held by Moelis & Company or its subsidiaries) is exchangeable into one share of Moelis & Company Class A common stock and represents the Company’s noncontrolling interests (non‐redeemable). As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, partners held 6,396,846 and 6,124,888 Group LP partnership units, respectively, representing an 8% and 8% noncontrolling interest in Moelis & Company, respectively.

Controlling Interests

Moelis & Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Group LP and its operating entity subsidiaries indirectly through its equity interest in Group GP, and thus the 73,420,907 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2025 (70,589,951 as of December 31, 2024), represents the controlling interest.

RELATED‐PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Aircraft Lease—On July 12, 2019, the Company entered into an aircraft dry lease (the “Old Lease”) with a related party, Moelis & Company Manager LLC ("Manager"), the lessor, and Mr. Moelis and a related cost sharing agreement with Mr. Moelis. On May 27, 2025, the Company terminated its aircraft dry lease with Manager, the lessor, and Mr. Moelis, which was set to terminate December 31, 2025, and Manager acquired a new aircraft with funds received solely from its managing member (Mr. Moelis). The Company leases the aircraft part-time to provide reliable convenient business travel to Mr. Moelis pursuant to a dry lease (“New Lease”) that was entered into on May 27, 2025, with Manager (the lessor), and other lessees Mr. Moelis and Brindle Capital, Inc. (an affiliated entity). The terms of the dry lease are comparable to the market rates of leasing from an independent third party. Pursuant to the dry lease, and a cost sharing and operating agreement for the aircraft, the Company and each other lessee is obligated to bear its share of the costs of operating the aircraft. The total cost to the Company of the aircraft is comparable to the cost of purchasing executive private jet travel from an independent third-party market provider. The dry lease has a term through December 31, 2028, unless otherwise extended. The terms of the New Lease and new cost sharing agreement are substantially similar to the Old Lease and related cost sharing agreement.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $1,925, $519, and $1,078, respectively, in aircraft lease costs to be paid to Manager.

Promissory Notes—As of December 31, 2025, there were $10,174 of unsecured promissory notes from employees held by the Company (December 31, 2024: $9,580). Any outstanding balances are reflected in accrued and other receivables on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The notes bear fixed interest rates ranging from 4.00% to 5.00%. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company received $250, $0, and $0, respectively, of principal repayments. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized interest income of $457, $410, and $125, respectively, on such notes, which is included in other income and expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Services Agreement—In connection with the Company’s IPO, the Company entered into a services agreement with a related party, Moelis Asset Management LP, whereby the Company provides certain administrative services to Moelis Asset Management LP for a fee. This fee totaled $230, $234, and $225 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The amount of the fee is based upon the estimated usage and related expense of all shared services between the Company and Moelis Asset Management LP during the relevant period, and will be assessed periodically by management as per the terms of the agreement. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no balances due to or from Moelis Asset Management LP.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Bank Lines of Credit— The Company renewed its revolving credit facilities during the second quarter of 2025 and maintains aggregate base credit commitments of $50,000 across the following two facilities:

Corporate Facility - The Company maintains a corporate revolving credit facility with a base credit commitment of $5,000. The Company has the option to request a temporary increase of up to $45,000, not to exceed the capacity available under the FINRA credit line discussed below. This option may be exercised up to two times per year during the twelve-month term of the credit line. Upon lender approval, this facility can be extended to June 30, 2027. The Company incurs a 0.25% per annum fee on the amount of the unused commitment. Borrowings on the facility bear interest at the greater of a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum or at the borrower’s option of (i) Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.3% or (ii) Prime minus 1.50%.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the credit facility. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s available committed credit under this facility, net of the FINRA credit line capacity, was $4,386 as a result of the issuance of an aggregate amount of $614 of various standby letters of credit, which were required in connection with certain office leases and other agreements.

U.S. Broker Dealer Facility - The U.S. Broker Dealer maintains a $45,000 revolving credit facility agreement pre-approved by FINRA with a credit period ending May 24, 2026 and a maturity date of May 24, 2027. The Company incurs a 0.25% per annum fee on the amount of the unused commitment. Borrowings on the facility bear interest equal to the Prime rate, payable quarterly in arrears of the last day of March, June,

September and December of each calendar year. The Company had no borrowings under this credit facility and the available committed credit was $45,000 as of December 31, 2025.

Leases— The Company maintains operating leases for corporate offices and an aircraft with various expiration dates, some of which extend through 2040. Some leases include options to terminate or to extend the lease terms. The Company records lease liabilities measured at the present value of anticipated lease payments over the lease term, including options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain such options will be exercised. The implicit discount rates used to determine the present value of the Company’s leases are not readily determinable, thus the Company uses its secured borrowing rate, which was determined with reference to our available credit line. See below for additional information about the Company’s leases.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company received $3,797, $482, and $2,110 of tenant improvement allowances, respectively. These cash receipts are included within net operating cash inflows/(outflows) for operating leases in the supplemental cash flow information above.

In October 2023, the Company vacated a leased space in San Francisco with the intent to sublease the space for the remainder of the lease term. The Company determined that the carrying value of assets associated with this space may not be recoverable, and recorded an impairment of $1,149 associated with right-of-use assets within occupancy expense, and $558 associated with leasehold improvements within other income and expenses on the Company's consolidated statement of operations, respectively. This lease terminated in October 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, the future maturities of our operating lease liabilities are as follows:

Fiscal year ended Operating Leases

Less: Tenant improvement allowances (1,197)

Less: Present value adjustment (77,504)

In September 2025, a lease commenced for office space that will replace the Company's existing space in London during 2026. Upon commencement, $53,880 in right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were capitalized.

Contractual Arrangements—In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide indemnification for specified losses, including certain indemnification of certain officers, directors and employees.

Legal—In the ordinary course of business, from time to time the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, government agencies and self-regulatory organizations conduct periodic examinations, investigations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company’s business, including, among other matters, compliance, accounting, recordkeeping and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease and desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company often cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. For matters where the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of a probable loss, or range of loss, the Company will accrue a loss for such matters in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the aggregate of the estimated amount or the minimum amount of the range, if no amount within the range is a better estimate. The Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company.

During 2023, West Palm Beach Firefighters’ Pension Fund, a putative Class A stockholder of the Company, filed a class action lawsuit, on behalf of itself and other similarly-situated Class A stockholders, in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company seeking declaratory judgment that certain provisions of the Stockholders Agreement between the Company and Partner Holdings are invalid and unenforceable as a matter of Delaware law. On March 4, 2024, the Court of Chancery issued an interlocutory order, presently in effect, that certain provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, including the provisions relating to approval rights and director vacancies, are facially invalid, void, and unenforceable under Delaware law. On July 18, 2024, the Court of Chancery issued an order awarding plaintiff’s counsel $6,000 in fees and expenses, to be paid by the Company. The Company filed an appeal of these orders and, on January 20, 2026, the Delaware Supreme Court, reversed the Court of Chancery’s interlocutory order and the fees and expenses awarded to plaintiff’s counsel.
