Dear fellow shareholders,


Q1 2025 Review

Sprott’s Assets Under Management (“AUM”) ended the first quarter of 2025 at $35.1 billion, up 11% from $31.5 billion as at December 31, 2024. Our AUM growth during the quarter was driven by surging gold prices and strong inflows to our physical gold and silver strategies. During the first three months of the year, we benefited from over $3.1 billion of market value appreciation, and importantly, we generated approximately $407 million of net flows. Subsequent to the quarter-end, we generated another $816 million of net flows as well as $629 million of market value appreciation, primarily into our flagship Sprott Physical Gold Trust, bringing our AUM to $36.5 billion as at May 2, 2025, up 4% from March 31, 2025.

Net income for the quarter was $12 million ($0.46 per share), up 3% from $11.6 million ($0.45 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $21.9 million ($0.85 per share) for the quarter, up 11% from $19.8 million ($0.78 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Precious Metals

After appreciating 27.2% in 2024, gold has gained an additional 23.5% year-to-date (as at May 2, 2025) and recently set an all-time high of $3,425 per ounce.

On April 2, 2025, “Liberation Day”, the Trump administration announced massive tariff hikes which triggered a sharp selloff and a volatile month in the markets . After falling by 12%, the S&P 500 finished April basically flat. 10-year Treasury bond yields initially fell as the beginnings of a global trade war introduced the possibility of a recession. However, yields later spiked as foreign and domestic confidence in U.S. investments was shaken. Despite the recent volatility, all signs are currently pointing to a period of stagflation. Against this backdrop, gold has emerged as the last hedge standing. While we could see a short-term correction, or at least a pause in gold price appreciation, gold has and should continue to demonstrate its important role as a store of value and portfolio diversifier over the longer term.











Silver prices were up 17.9% in the first quarter and 10.8% on a year-to-date basis (as at May 2, 2025). However, silver prices have failed to keep pace with gold and the metal remains well short of its record-high reached in 2011. Historically, silver tends to lag major gold price moves before eventually posting gains that often exceed those of gold. Given the ongoing supply deficit, now in its fifth year, we expect silver prices to join gold in setting new all-time highs.

Managed Equities

Our managed equities strategies performed well during the first quarter. The Sprott Gold Equity Fund posted a gain of 26.4% during the first quarter and is now up more than 31% on a year-to-date basis (as at May 2, 2025). Gold equities have however lagged bullion prices since 2016 and are now poised for a “catch up”. While investor flows have not yet returned to precious metals equities, opportunities in the sector continue to be compelling. With gold prices hitting new highs and the cost of key inputs like diesel fuel falling, well-managed mining stocks stand to benefit significantly from the increase in gold prices.

Critical Materials

While most critical materials prices remain under pressure thus far in 2025, we believe this is a short-term phenomenon and maintain our constructive view. We believe the realignment of global trade and a focus on energy growth and security will increase demand for critical materials.

Product Development

In the first quarter of 2025, we launched two new precious metals ETFs: The Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF (“SLVR”) and the Sprott Active Gold & Silver Miners ETF (“GBUG”), our first actively-managed ETF. We are very pleased with the early performance of these funds and the positive response from investors. We continue to explore opportunities to leverage the strength of our investment team and brand through additional new ETF launches, both passive and active.


(1) Effective Q1 2025, we changed the name of one of our key non-IFRS measures: "adjusted base EBITDA" to "adjusted EBITDA". This was made to simplify wording and there was no impact to its calculation.

Outlook

In my year-end letter to shareholders, I quoted J.P. Morgan’s Chief Strategist Michael Cembalest who wrote:
“Policies and statements from Trump nominees (both cabinet level and those not requiring Senate confirmation) indicate that they aim to ‘break’ something…Whatever the goals, I take them at their word: they are going to break something, I just don’t know what.”

While we agreed with Cembalest, neither he, ourselves, nor the markets expected the Trump administration to break everything. Deportations, large government layoffs, threats to cut funding to institutions, both public and private, and massive tariffs have all been announced and, in some cases, implemented. All of this has occurred during the administration’s first 100 days. So far, “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) has turned into “Sell America Down” (SAD). In our view, tariffs are potentially the most damaging of these initiatives due to their effects on the global economy. They are undeniably a tax and large tax hikes have never been good for the economy. To paraphrase a widely-shared meme we saw recently, “We’ve done this massive tariff thing three times in American history. All spaced 100 years apart because everyone who remembers the last one needs to be dead for the next to happen.” The last two major tariff regimes caused depressions and we are skeptical that this time will be different. The good news is that there is not much left on the Trump agenda to further shock the markets. The court system is just starting to challenge the legality of all these orders. And in six months, we begin a new election cycle in the U.S., which will force Congress to address the consequences of the Trump agenda. While we can’t rule out the possibility of a Constitutional Crisis in this process, it is certainly not something the markets have discounted yet.






















At Sprott, we are fortunate to be extremely well positioned with an asset base divided between precious metals and critical materials. We have a balanced product suite that offers both safe havens and growth opportunities – all of which offer some inflation protection. We are in a strong position to create value for our clients and shareholders in any environment. Our team of owner operators is working hard to focus on the opportunities ahead of us and is not distracted by the noise.

We are grateful to our patient long-term shareholders and are pleased to welcome new shareholders during the first quarter. We look forward to reporting to you on our progress in the quarters ahead.


Sincerely,

Forward looking statements
Certain statements in this Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A"), and in particular the "Outlook" section, contain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (collectively referred to herein as the "Forward-Looking Statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe", "plans", "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify Forward-Looking Statements. In particular, but without limiting the forgoing, this MD&A contains Forward-Looking Statements pertaining to: (i) our positioning will benefit from a highly constructive operating environment for precious metals, critical materials and their related equities; and (ii) the declaration, payment and designation of dividends and confidence that our business will support the dividend level without impacting our ability to fund future growth initiatives.

In addition, the payment of dividends is not guaranteed and the amount and timing of any dividends payable by the Company will be at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company and will be established on the basis of the Company’s earnings, the satisfaction of solvency tests imposed by applicable corporate law for the declaration and payment of dividends, and other relevant factors. The Forward-Looking Statements speak only as of the date hereof, unless otherwise specifically noted, and the Company does not assume any obligation to publicly update any Forward-Looking Statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be expressly required by applicable securities laws.

Management's discussion and analysis
This MD&A of financial condition and results of operations, dated May 6, 2025, presents an analysis of the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024, and the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024. The board of directors of the Company approved this MD&A on May 6, 2025. All note references in this MD&A are to the notes to the Company's March 31, 2025 interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements"), unless otherwise noted. The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 13, 2008.
Presentation of financial information
The interim financial statements, including the required comparative information, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") in effect as at March 31, 2025, specifically, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Financial results, including related historical comparatives contained in this MD&A, unless otherwise specified herein, are based on the interim financial statements. While the Company's primary transactional currency and presentation currency is the U.S. dollar, IFRS requires that the Company measure its foreign exchange gains and losses through its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income using the Canadian dollar as its functional currency. Accordingly, all dollar references in this MD&A are in U.S. dollars, however the translation gains and losses were measured using the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. The use of the term "prior period" refers to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Key performance indicators and non-IFRS and other financial measures
The Company measures the success of its business using a number of key performance indicators that are not measurements in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of performance under IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Our key performance indicators and non-IFRS and other financial measures are discussed below. For quantitative reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, please see page 10 of this MD&A.
Assets under management
Assets under management ("AUM") refers to the total net assets managed by the Company through its various investment product offerings and managed accounts.
Net inflows
Net inflows result in changes to AUM, and as such, have a direct impact on the revenues and earnings of the Company. They are described individually below:
At-the-market ("ATM") transactions and ETF unit creations
ATM transactions of our physical trusts and new 'creations' of ETF units are the primary manner in which inflows arise in our exchange listed products segment.
Net sales
Fund sales (net of redemptions) are the primary manner in which inflows arise in our managed equities segment.
Net capital calls
Capital calls, net of capital distributions ("net capital calls") are the primary manner in which inflows arise in our private strategies segment.
Other net inflows
Other net inflows include: (1) fund acquisitions; (2) new AUM from fund launches; and (3) lost AUM from fund closures. It is possible for committed capital in our private strategies to earn a commitment fee despite being uncalled, in which case, it will also be included in this category as AUM.
Net fees
Net fees are calculated as: (1) total management fees net of selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") recoveries from funds, fund expenses and direct payouts; and (2) carried interest and performance fees, net of their related payouts. Net fees is a key revenue indicator as it represents revenue contributions after directly associated costs in managing our AUM.
Net revenues
Net revenues are calculated as the total of: (1) net fees, excluding carried interest and performance fees, net of their related payouts; (2) net commissions; (3) finance income; and (4) co-investment income.
Net commissions
Net commissions are calculated as total commissions, net of commission expenses. Net commissions primarily arise from the purchase and sale of critical materials in our exchange listed products segment.
Net compensation & net compensation ratio
Net compensation is calculated as total compensation expense before: (1) commission expenses paid to employees; (2) direct payouts to employees; (3) carried interest and performance fee payouts to employees; (4) severance and new hire accruals; and (5) market value fluctuations on cash-settled equity plans. Net compensation ratio is calculated as net compensation divided by net revenues.
Total shareholder return
Total shareholder return is the financial gain (loss) that results from a change in the Company's share price, plus any dividends paid over the period.
Liquid co-investments
Liquid co-investments are the Company's co-investments that can be monetized in less than 90 days.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin
Effective in the first quarter of the year, we changed the name of one of our key non-IFRS measures: “adjusted base EBITDA” to “adjusted EBITDA”. The change was made to simplify wording and there was no impact to the underlying calculation.
EBITDA in its most basic form is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts for items noted in the below reconciliation table. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are measures commonly used in the investment industry by management, investors and investment analysts in understanding and comparing results by factoring out the impact of different financing methods, capital structures, amortization techniques and income tax rates between companies in the same industry. While other companies, investors or investment analysts may not utilize the same method of calculating EBITDA (or adjustments thereto), the Company believes its adjusted EBITDA metric results in a better comparison of the Company's underlying operations against its peers and a better indicator of recurring results from operations as compared to other non-IFRS financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA margins are a key indicator of the Company’s profitability on a per dollar of revenue basis, and as such, is commonly used in the financial services sector by analysts, investors and management.
Neither EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, or adjusted EBITDA margin have a standardized meaning under IFRS. Consequently, they should not be considered in isolation, nor should they be used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The following table outlines how our EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin measures are determined:

Business development and outlook
In the first quarter of the year, the Company launched two new precious metals ETF, the Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF (“SLVR”) and the Sprott Active Gold & Silver Miners ETF (“GBUG”). Investor interest in both these products have been strong in the quarter, and AUM as of March 31, 2025 for these products stood at $41 million and $23 million, respectively.

At Sprott, we are fortunate to be extremely well positioned with an asset base divided between precious metals and critical materials. We have a balanced product suite that offers both safe havens and growth opportunities – all of which offer some inflation protection. We are in a strong position to create value for our clients and shareholders in any environment. Our team of owner operators is working hard to focus on the opportunities ahead of us and is not distracted by the noise.

Subsequent to quarter-end, as at May 2, 2025, AUM was $36.5 billion, up 4% from $35.1 billion as at March 31, 2025. Our performance subsequent to quarter-end was the result of $0.8 billion of net inflows and $0.6 billion of market value appreciation, primarily in our physical gold trust.

AUM summary
AUM was $35.1 billion as at March 31, 2025, up 11% from $31.5 billion as at December 31, 2024. On a three months ended basis, we benefited from strong market value appreciation and net inflows to our precious metals physical trusts which were partially offset by weaker market valuations of our critical materials products. Subsequent to quarter-end, as at May 2, 2025, AUM was $36.5 billion, up 4% from $35.1 billion as at March 31, 2025. Our performance subsequent to quarter-end was the result of $0.8 billion of net inflows and $0.6 billion of market value appreciation, primarily in our physical gold trust.

Key revenue lines                     

Management, carried interest and performance fees
Management fees were $40 million for the quarter, up 9% from $36.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Net fees were $35.6 million for the quarter, up 9% from $32.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Our revenue performance in the quarter was primarily due to higher average AUM on strong market value appreciation and inflows to our precious metals physical trusts, partially offset by ongoing weaker market valuations of our critical materials product offerings.
Commission revenues
Commission revenues were $0.3 million for the quarter, down 73% from $1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Net commissions were $0.2 million for the quarter, down 64% from $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Commission revenue was lower in the quarter mainly due to a lack of ATM activity in our critical materials physical trusts.
Finance income
Finance income was $1.4 million for the quarter, down 23% from $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in the quarter was due to lower income generation in co-investment positions we hold in our LPs managed in our private strategies segment.
Key expense lines
Compensation
Net compensation expense was $17.5 million for the quarter, up 8% from $16.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to higher incentive compensation on increased net fee generation. Our net compensation ratio was 47% in the quarter, unchanged from this same time last year (March 31, 2024 - 47%).
SG&A
SG&A expense was $4.1 million for the quarter, down 1% from $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in the quarter was primarily due to lower marketing costs.


Earnings
Net income for the quarter was $12 million ($0.46 per share), up 3% from $11.6 million ($0.45 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Our earnings in the quarter benefited from higher average AUM on strong market value appreciation and inflows to our precious metals physical trusts partially offset by ongoing weaker market valuations of our critical materials product offerings.

Adjusted EBITDA was $21.9 million ($0.85 per share) for the quarter, up 11% from $19.8 million ($0.78 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter benefited from higher average AUM on strong market value appreciation and inflows to our precious metals physical trusts partially offset by ongoing weaker market valuations of our critical materials product offerings.
Additional revenues and expenses
Investment gains were $1.5 million for the quarter, down 15% from investment gains of $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Investment gains in the quarter were mainly driven by market value appreciation of our co-investments.
Depreciation of property and equipment was $0.5 million for the quarter, largely flat from the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Balance sheet                
Total assets were $386.1 million, down 1% from $388.8 million as at December 31, 2024. Total liabilities were $60 million, down 8% from $65.2 million as at December 31, 2024. The decrease in assets and liabilities was primarily due to the payment of tax installments during the quarter. Total shareholder's equity was $326.1 million, up 1% from $323.6 million as at December 31, 2024.

Critical accounting estimates and significant judgments
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions and estimates as they occur. The Company’s material accounting policy information are described in Note 2 of the December 31, 2024 audited annual financial statements. Certain of these accounting policies require management to make key assumptions concerning the future and consider other sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date. These accounting estimates are considered critical because they require subjective and/or complex judgments that may have a material impact on the value of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

Critical accounting estimates

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets

All indefinite life intangible assets and goodwill are assessed for impairment annually. This annual test for impairment augments the quarterly impairment indicator assessments. Values associated with goodwill and intangibles involve estimates and assumptions, including those with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, AUM and asset lives. These estimates require significant judgment regarding market growth rates, fund flow assumptions, expected margins and costs, which could affect the Company's future results if estimates of future performance and fair value change.

Fair value of financial instruments

When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheets cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques and models. Model inputs are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, unobservable inputs may be used. These unobservable inputs include, but are not limited to, projected cash flows, discount rates, comparable recent transactions and volatility of underlying securities in warrant valuations. The use of unobservable inputs can involve significant judgment and materially affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Significant judgments

Investments in other entities

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements ("IFRS 10") and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures ("IAS 28") provide for the use of judgment in determining whether an investee should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the Company and on what basis (subsidiary, joint venture, financial instrument or associate). Significant judgment is applied in evaluating facts and circumstances relevant to the Company and investee, including: (1) the extent of the Company's direct and indirect interest in the investee; (2) the level of compensation to be received from the investee for management and other services provided to it; (3) "kick out rights" available to other investors in the investee; and (4) other indicators of the extent of power that the Company has over the investee.

Managing financial risks
Market risk
The Company separates market risk into three categories: price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.
Price risk
Price risk arises from the possibility that changes in the price of the Company's on and off-balance sheet assets and liabilities will result in changes in carrying value or recoverable amounts. The Company's revenues are also exposed to price risk since management fees, carried interest and performance fees are correlated with AUM, which fluctuates with changes in the market values of the assets in the funds and managed accounts managed by the Company.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the value of, or cash flows from, financial assets and liabilities. The Company’s earnings, particularly through its private strategies segment, are exposed to volatility as a result of sudden changes in interest rates. Management takes into account a number of factors and is committed to several processes to ensure that this risk is appropriately managed.
Foreign currency risk
The Company enters into transactions that are denominated primarily in U.S. and Canadian dollars. Foreign currency risk arises from foreign exchange rate movements that could negatively impact the liquidity of the company as determined at the transactional currency level.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a borrower will not honor its commitments and a loss to the Company may result. Credit risk generally arises in the Company's investments portfolio.
Investments
The Company incurs credit risk when entering into, settling and financing transactions with counterparties. Management takes into account a number of factors and is committed to several processes to ensure that this risk is appropriately managed.
Other
The majority of receivables relate to management fees, carried interest and performance fees receivable from the funds and managed accounts managed by the Company. These receivables are short-term in nature and any credit risk associated with them is managed by dealing with counterparties that the Company believes to be creditworthy and by actively monitoring credit exposure and the financial health of the counterparties.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot meet a demand for cash or fund its obligations as they come due. The Company's exposure to liquidity risk is minimal as it maintains sufficient levels of liquid assets to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company has $55.9 million (December 31, 2024 - $46.8 million) of cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the Company has $69.4 million of co-investments (December 31, 2024 - $72.8 million) of which $27.2 million (December 31, 2024 - $23.8 million) can be monetized in less than 90 days (liquid co-investments). The Company also has access to a credit facility of $75 million with a major Canadian schedule I chartered bank.
The Company's exposure to liquidity risk as it relates to our co-investments in private strategies LPs arises from fluctuations in cash flows from making capital calls and receiving capital distributions. The Company manages its co-investment liquidity risk through the ongoing monitoring of scheduled capital calls and distributions ("match funding") and through its broader treasury risk management program and enterprise capital budgeting.
20




Financial liabilities, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities and compensation payable, are short-term in nature and are generally due within a year.
The Company's management team is responsible for reviewing resources to ensure funds are readily available to meet its financial obligations as they come due and ensuring adequate funds exist to support business strategies and operations growth. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring cash balances on a daily basis and through its broader treasury risk management program. To meet any liquidity shortfalls, actions taken by the Company could include but are not limited to: drawing on the line of credit; slowing its co-investment activities; liquidating investments; and adjusting or otherwise temporarily suspending AIPs.
Concentration risk
A significant portion of the Company's AUM and its investments are focused on the natural resource sector, and in particular, precious metals and critical materials related investments and transactions. In addition, from time-to-time, certain investments may be concentrated to a material degree in a single position or group of positions. Management takes into account a number of factors and is committed to several processes to ensure that this risk is appropriately managed.
Disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") and internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR")
Management is responsible for the design and operational effectiveness of DC&P and ICFR in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the disclosure of material information relating to the Company. This includes information required to be disclosed in the Company's annual filings, interim filings and other reports filed under securities legislation, as well as the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our DC&P and ICFR (as defined in the applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws), concluded that the Company's DC&P and ICFR were properly designed and were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025. In addition, there were no material changes to ICFR during the quarter.

Managing non-financial risks

Company's annual report as well as the Annual Information Form available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and SEDAR+ at

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

1 Corporate information
Sprott Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 13, 2008. Its registered office is at Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2600, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2J1.

2 Summary of material accounting policy information
Statement of compliance
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
Compliance with IFRS requires the Company to exercise judgment and make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amount 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 may vary. Except as otherwise noted, significant accounting judgments and estimates are described in Note 2 of the December 31, 2024 annual audited consolidated financial statements and have been applied consistently to the interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The interim financial statements have been authorized for issue by a resolution of the board of directors of the Company on May 6, 2025 and include all subsequent events up to that date.
Basis of presentation
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") and which are measured at fair value to the extent required or permitted under IFRS and as set out in the relevant accounting policies. The interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand ($000), except when indicated otherwise.
Principles of consolidation
These interim financial statements of the Company are prepared on a consolidated basis so as to include the accounts of all limited partnerships and corporations the Company is deemed to control under IFRS. Controlled limited partnerships and corporations ("subsidiaries") are consolidated from the date the Company obtains control. All intercompany balances with subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation. Subsidiary financial statements are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company and are based on accounting policies consistent with that of the Company.
The Company consolidates interest in its funds or subsidiaries if the Company has control over the entity. Control exists if the Company has power over the entity, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of returns the Company receives. In many, but not all instances, control will exist when the Company owns more than one half of the voting rights of a corporation, or is the sole limited and general partner of a limited partnership.
The Company records third-party interest in the funds which do not qualify to be equity due to redeemable or limited life features, as non-controlling interest liabilities. Such interests are initially recognized at fair value, with any changes recorded in the co-investment income line of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Capital management
The Company's objectives when managing capital are:
to meet regulatory requirements and other contractual obligations;
to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders;
to provide financial flexibility to fund possible acquisitions;
to provide adequate seed capital for the Company's new product offerings; and
to provide an adequate return to shareholders through growth in assets under management, growth in management fees, carried interest and performance fees and return on the Company's invested capital that will result in dividend payments to shareholders.
The Company's capital is comprised of equity, including capital stock, contributed surplus, retained earnings (deficit) and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). SAM is a registrant of the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and SGRIL is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). As a result, all of these entities are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. To ensure compliance, management monitors regulatory and working capital on a regular basis. SAM US and RCIC are also registered with the SEC. As at March 31, 2025 and 2024, all entities were in compliance with their respective capital requirements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company transferred public equities of $nil (December 31, 2024 - $nil) from Level 2 to Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents the valuation techniques used by the Company in measuring fair values:
TypeValuation technique
Public equities, precious metals and share purchase warrantsFair values are determined using publicly available prices or pricing models which incorporate all available market-observable inputs.
Co-investmentsFair values are based on the last available net asset value.
Fixed income securitiesFair values are based on independent market data providers or third-party broker quotes.
Private holdings Fair values based on variety of valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows, comparable recent transactions and other techniques used by market participants.

The Company’s Level 3 securities consist of private holdings and share purchase warrants. The significant unobservable inputs used in these valuation techniques can vary considerably over time, and include gray market financing prices, volatility and discount rates. A significant change in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a material impact in fair value measurement. The potential impact of a 5% change in the significant unobservable inputs on profit or loss would be approximately $0.2 million (December 31, 2024 - $0.2 million).

Financial instruments not carried at fair value
The carrying amounts of fees receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and compensation payable represent a reasonable approximation of fair value.

11     Segmented information
For management purposes, the Company is organized into business units based on its products, services and geographical locations and has four reportable segments as follows:
Exchange listed products (reportable), which provides management services to the Company's closed-end physical trusts and exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), both of which are actively traded on public securities exchanges;
Managed equities (reportable), which provides management services to the Company's alternative investment strategies managed in-house and on a sub-advisory basis;
Private strategies (reportable), which provides lending and streaming activities through limited partnership vehicles;
Corporate (reportable), which provides capital, balance sheet management and enterprise shared services to the Company's subsidiaries; and
All other segments (non-reportable), which do not meet the definition of reportable segments per IFRS 8.
Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on earnings before interest expense, income taxes, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, gains and losses on investments (as if such gains and losses had not occurred), stock-based compensation, severance, new hire accruals and other, foreign exchange (gain) loss, carried interest and performance fees and carried interest and performance fee payouts (adjusted EBITDA).
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance under IFRS.
Transfer pricing between operating segments is performed on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.
