The adjusted revenue figure still represented a 548.7% year-over-year gain, though that comparison is heavily shaped by prior-period accounting items, including a $128.50 million contingent payment gain tied to the AB CarVal acquisition that inflated year-ago GAAP results. More telling was the underlying momentum: adjusted operating income climbed 15% to $302.37 million, with the operating margin expanding 290 basis points to 34.2%. Total AUM reached $860.10 billion, up 7% year-over-year, even as net outflows of $2.30 billion reflected a pre-announced $4.00 billion reinsurance transaction; stripped of that item, flows turned positive at $1.70 billion. Private markets AUM approached $80.00 billion, keeping the firm on track toward its 2027 target of $90.00 to $100.00 billion, and a recently launched fixed annuity lifetime income product adds another distribution channel supporting that build-out.
