REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of CIM Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying combined and consolidated balance sheets of CIM Group Management, LLC and CIM Group Investments, LLC (the “Contributed Entities”), which are under common ownership and common management, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related combined and consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows 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 Contributed Entities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of their operations and their 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.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Contributed Entities’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Contributed Entities’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Contributed Entities 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 and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. The Contributed Entities are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Contributed Entities’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
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 Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Contributed Entities’ combined and consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The combined and consolidated financial statements for the Contributed Entities have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Contributed Entities and their wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Contributed Entities are under common ownership control and the accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements present the Contributed Entities as if they had operated as a single reporting entity for all periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In determining whether the Contributed Entities have controlling interests in an entity and are required to consolidate the accounts in that entity, the Contributed Entities analyze their investments in accordance with standards set forth in GAAP to determine whether the entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and if so, whether the Contributed Entities are the primary beneficiary. The Contributed Entities’ judgment with respect to their level of influence or control over an entity and whether the Contributed Entities are the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors, including the form of the Contributed Entities’ ownership interest, the Contributed Entities’ voting interest, the size of the Contributed Entities’ investment (including loans), and the Contributed Entities’ ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. The Contributed Entities will reassess their initial evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur. The Contributed Entities’ ability to correctly assess their influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these entities in the Contributed Entities’ combined and consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 combined and consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Assumptions and estimates regarding the valuation of investments and their resulting impact on performance allocations involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity and these assumptions and estimates may be significant to the combined and consolidated financial statements and the resulting impact on performance allocations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts, as well as investments in highly-liquid money market funds. The Contributed Entities deposit cash with several high-quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (“FDIC”) up to an insurance limit of $250,000. At times, the Contributed Entities’ cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured levels. Although the Contributed Entities bear risk on amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, they have not experienced and do not anticipate any losses due to the high quality of the institutions where the deposits are held.
Revenue Recognition - Real Assets Management Activities
Revenues from real assets management activities primarily consist of management fees, reimbursements from the Contributed Entities’ Funds and affiliates, incentive fees and performance allocations. Revenue from real assets management activities consists of the following (in thousands):

Management Fees and Other
Management fees and servicing fees and incentive fees are accounted for as contracts with customers. Under the guidance for contracts with customers, an entity is required to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
Management Fees and Servicing Fees — The Contributed Entities provide real assets management and related real property services including property management, development management, leasing, sales brokerage, acquisition, and disposition services, as well as advisory, security sales, and dealer management services. All management fees are based on contractual terms specified in the underlying agreements. Accrued but unpaid management fees as of the reporting date are included in management fees and other receivables from related parties in the combined and consolidated balance sheets.
The Contributed Entities, through their subsidiaries, serve as manager of the Funds. In exchange for managing the Funds and their assets and for providing their full array of integrated real property services, the Contributed Entities are entitled to receive management fees generally up to 2.0% per annum of the net asset value, gross asset value, invested capital, and/or committed capital, and, in some cases, an additional percentage of net operating income, as identified in the applicable agreements. The Contributed Entities record revenue related to these fees as services are performed.
Property management fees are earned under the terms of the underlying property management agreements. These fees are based upon a percentage, generally up to 5.0%, of the revenues generated by the properties under management.
As most of the contractual terms and conditions set forth in individual agreements for each development project are complex and unique, the Contributed Entities must often use judgment to determine the timing of revenue recognition of development management fees. These fees are recognized monthly when specific criteria have been met per the underlying agreements. For most of the projects, the Contributed Entities generally charge development management fees of up to 4.0% of the aggregate project costs expended prior to or during the term of the agreement and also earn fees based on the project’s profitability.
Commissions on leases are earned and recognized in full when the lease is executed, unless it is deemed probable, in accordance with the Contributed Entities’ estimates and judgment, that a significant reversal of revenue will occur. Based on the terms and conditions of a commission agreement, the Contributed Entities generally collect a portion of a lease commission upon the execution of the lease agreement by the tenant and landlord, with the remaining portion of the lease commission collected at a later date, typically upon tenant occupancy or first payment of rent.
Sales commissions are earned under the terms of the underlying brokerage agreements. These fees are based upon a percentage, generally up to 6.0%, of the aggregate dollar amount of the sale of condominium units at a project.
Certain subsidiaries of the Contributed Entities are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as broker-dealers and are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). These subsidiaries provide distribution-related services for certain Funds, including acting as dealer manager, principal distributor or placement agent in connection with securities offerings conducted by such Funds. As compensation for these services, the Contributed

Entities may earn selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees in accordance with the terms of the applicable distribution and dealer manager agreements.
The Contributed Entities’ registered broker-dealer subsidiaries may receive selling commissions based on the gross offering proceeds related to the sale in primary offerings of common and preferred stock of certain Funds that are managed by subsidiaries of the Contributed Entities. The Contributed Entities reallow 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions are paid to the Contributed Entities or other broker-dealers with respect to shares issued under distribution reinvestment plans, under which the stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares. The Contributed Entities record securities sales commissions as revenue upon the sale of the common stock and preferred stock.
Through their registered broker-dealer subsidiaries, the Contributed Entities also serve as dealer manager or principal distributor for certain Funds pursuant to dealer manager agreements. In return, the Contributed Entities receive dealer manager and stockholder servicing fees. Dealer manager fees may be received upfront based on the gross offering proceeds related to the sale of shares or in arrears based on the net asset value for each class of common stock. Stockholder servicing fees are received in arrears based on the net asset value for each class of common stock. The Contributed Entities record upfront dealer manager fees upon the sale of shares. Stockholder servicing fees and dealer manager fees received in arrears are recorded as revenue when the fees are fixed or determinable.
The Contributed Entities earn acquisition fees related to the acquisition, development, or construction of properties on behalf of certain Funds and other affiliates. In addition, the Contributed Entities earn disposition fees related to the sale of one or more properties, including those held indirectly through unconsolidated joint ventures, and other affiliates. The Contributed Entities record revenue related to acquisition and disposition fees upon completion of a transaction or when the Contributed Entities determine they have fulfilled their performance obligations.
Reimbursements — The Contributed Entities incur costs on behalf of the assets owned by the Funds and receive reimbursement of payroll, general and administrative expenses, and other related costs that are incurred in connection with services or functions provided or made available to a Fund and/or its assets.
Incentive Fees — Contractual fees earned based on the performance of certain Funds (“Incentive Fees”) are a form of variable consideration in the Contributed Entities’ contracts with customers to provide real assets management services. Incentive Fees are earned based on Fund performance during a contractual period, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels, or high-water marks, in accordance with the respective terms set out in the applicable Fund’s governing agreements. Incentive Fees are not recognized as revenue until (a) it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, or (b) the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Performance Allocations
Performance Allocations are made to the general partner or a special limited partner (“SLP”) based on cumulative Fund performance to date, subject to a preferred return to limited partners. The performance allocations vary by Fund structure and strategy. For most Funds, the performance allocations generally represent up to 20.0% of the Funds’ cumulative net returns, subject to a preferred return generally ranging from 8.0% to 10.0%, as defined in the applicable governing documents of the related Funds.
Performance allocations are accounted for as variable consideration arising from contracts with customers under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), as the Contributed Entities earn such amounts in their capacity as manager to the underlying Funds. Accordingly, performance allocations are not recognized through the Contributed Entities’ share of earnings of the underlying Funds under the equity method of accounting.
Performance allocations are recorded as revenue when it is determined that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized is no longer probable or upon the termination of the applicable Fund. In making this determination, the Contributed Entities evaluate the probability of a significant reversal based on the applicable Fund’s cumulative performance and the contractual terms governing the performance allocation. The Contributed Entities apply a practical expedient for the portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics because the Contributed Entities expect that the effects of applying the guidance on a portfolio basis would not differ materially from applying the guidance on an individual contract-by-contract basis.

Revenue Recognition - Strategic Holding Activities
Income from Equity-Method Investments
The Contributed Entities record income from equity-method investments based on their proportionate share of the underlying earnings or losses of the equity-method investees. Realized gains and losses recognized from sales and dispositions of underlying investments and net investment income earned from the operating activities of the equity-method investees are presented in the combined and consolidated statements of operations in income from equity-method investments. Income from equity-method investments also includes changes in the fair value of the underlying investments of the equity-method investees. Since the Contributed Entities recognize income as it is earned by the equity-method investees, the eventual payment of dividends is accounted for as a reduction of carrying value in the investment account.
Revenues from Consolidated Investments
Revenues from consolidated investments primarily include rental and other property income from consolidated real estate assets and interest income from consolidated credit investments.
Revenue from Rental Activities — Rental and other property income is included in revenues from consolidated investments in the combined and consolidated statements of operations. Fixed rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. For properties acquired with existing leases, the lease term is considered to commence on the acquisition date for purposes of recognizing rental income. Variable rental and other property income consists primarily of tenant reimbursements for recoverable real estate taxes and property operating expenses and is recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. Other variable rental income, including percentage rent, is recognized when the applicable contractual thresholds are achieved.
The Contributed Entities assess the collectability of lease payments and tenant reimbursements based on the tenant’s payment history, financial condition and relevant business and economic conditions. If collectability is not probable, previously recognized amounts are reversed against rental and other property income and subsequent revenue is recognized on a cash basis until collectability becomes probable.
Revenue from Lending Activities — Interest income from the Contributed Entities’ credit investments is included in revenues from consolidated investments in the combined and consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is generally recognized using the effective interest method.
Expenses
Expenses are recognized as incurred and consist of general and administrative costs, compensation and benefits, performance allocations expense, expenses from consolidated investments and interest expense.
General and Administrative — General and administrative expenses primarily include professional fees, travel and related expenses, rent and facilities charges, reallowed selling commissions, subadvisor fees, organizational costs, placement fees, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, and other administrative overhead costs.
Compensation and Benefits — Compensation and benefits consist of employee compensation, comprised of salary and bonus, and benefits paid and payable to employees and principals.
Compensation and benefits also includes incentive fee bonus compensation, which consists of compensation paid and payable to employees and principals based on incentive fees.
Performance Allocations Expense — Performance allocations expense consists of profit participation interests granted to, or paid and payable to, employees and principals in respect of performance allocations. The compensation may be structured as a fixed percentage and may be subject to vesting and continued employment or service. Other limitations may apply to the compensation as set forth in the applicable governing documents. Performance allocations compensation is expensed over its anticipated life.
Expenses from Consolidated Investments — Expenses from consolidated investments consist primarily of property operating expenses, real estate taxes, asset-level operating costs, costs associated with managing properties, and other expenses directly related to the Contributed Entities’ strategic holdings portfolio.

Contract assets include amounts recognized as revenue for which the Contributed Entities’ right to payment is conditioned on something other than the passage of time, but which condition should not constrain revenue recognition. The related revenue streams were accelerated and recorded as contract assets when earned, as determined in accordance with ASC 606.
Additionally, in accordance with ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, which addresses the accounting for costs incurred as part of obtaining or fulfilling a contract with a customer, the Contributed Entities record deferred expenses as contract assets. As such, the Contributed Entities capitalized third-party placement fees and compensation that was directly related to transactions that will generate future revenue, performance allocations compensation, and other costs. The capitalized placement fees and compensation are amortized over the life of the applicable Funds while the capitalized performance allocations compensation is expensed as the related performance allocations compensation is paid.

Contract liabilities consist of performance allocations and fees received in advance. The Contributed Entities are allocated performance allocations from their Funds upon exceeding performance thresholds. Depending upon future performance of these Funds, the allocated performance allocations received in advance may be subject to clawback. Generally, the actual clawback liability is not settled until the dissolution and winding up of the Fund.

Investments
The Contributed Entities’ investments consist of interests held directly and indirectly through the Contributed Entities and their subsidiaries, including consolidated investments and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Contributed Entities’ investment activities were conducted primarily through their Strategic Holdings segment.
Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 40 years for buildings, 15 years for site improvements, the shorter of the useful life or lease term for tenant improvements, and the applicable lease term for intangible lease assets.
Real estate acquired through a foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is initially recognized at fair value when the Contributed Entities assume legal title or physical possession. The value of the acquired property is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values.
Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
The Contributed Entities evaluate real estate assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Such indicators may include tenant financial difficulties, lease terminations, vacancies, declining operating performance, changes in anticipated holding periods and reduction in estimated market values.
If the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable through its expected undiscounted cash flows, the Contributed Entities recognize an impairment loss for the excess of the carrying amount over fair value. Fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and comparable market transactions.
Real Estate Acquisition and Development Activities
The cost of an acquired real estate asset is allocated to land, buildings and improvements, and identifiable intangible lease assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values. The Contributed Entities generally utilize third-party appraisals and other available market information in determining fair values, which may include assumptions regarding market rents, rental growth, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. Direct acquisition costs associated with asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost of the acquired assets; other transaction-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Costs directly associated with the development, construction and lease-up of real estate projects, including qualifying interest costs are capitalized as construction in progress.
Equity-Method Investments
The Contributed Entities account for investments over which they have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not meet the requirements for consolidation, under the equity method of accounting. Equity-method investments are initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Contributed Entities’ allocable share of the investee’s earnings or losses, contributions made and distributions received.
For certain eligible equity-method investments, the Contributed Entities have elected the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Investments for which the fair value option has been elected are measured at fair value at each reporting date. See Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements, for additional information regarding the valuation of these investments.
The Contributed Entities’ allocable share of investee earnings or losses and changes in fair value, as applicable, are recognized in income from equity-method investments in the combined and consolidated statements of operations.
Equity-method investments for which the fair value option has not been elected are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary.
The Contributed Entities’ equity-method investments primarily include interests in managed Funds, unconsolidated joint ventures and other owner-operators of real assets. See Note 4 — Investments, for additional information regarding these investments.

Equity Securities
The Contributed Entities’ investments in equity securities of public and private companies are carried at their estimated fair values with net realized and unrealized losses from consolidated investments reported on the combined and consolidated statements of operations. Dividend income is recognized when the Contributed Entities’ right to receive payment is established.
Equity securities without readily determinable fair values that do not qualify for the net asset value practical expedient are measured at cost, less impairment, and adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Contributed Entities evaluate these investments for impairment at each reporting date.
Loans Receivable
The Contributed Entities’ loans receivable include loans to other owner-operators of real assets and loans to Funds. The Contributed Entities intend to hold the loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity. Such loans are carried on the Contributed Entities’ combined and consolidated balance sheets at cost and include accrued and unpaid interest income.

that they have one reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. No impairment was identified during the annual impairment assessments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, or during management's evaluation of impairment indicators as of March 31, 2026.
Leases
The Contributed Entities act as both a lessor and lessee in the ordinary course of business. As a lessor, lease revenues are primarily derived from operating leases associated with real estate assets held within the Strategic Holdings segment and are included in revenues from consolidated investments in the accompanying combined and consolidated statements of operations. The Contributed Entities have elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for their real estate operating leases when the revenue recognition timing and pattern of transfer are the same for both types of components.
As a lessee, the Contributed Entities lease office space and other facilities under operating lease arrangements. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The Contributed Entities use judgment in determining lease terms and discount rates where applicable.
See Note 9 — Leases for additional quantitative information on the Contributed Entities’ leases.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Entities
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represent third-party noncontrolling interests in consolidated investments of the Contributed Entities.
Income Taxes
The Contributed Entities are limited liability companies with all federal and state income tax liabilities and/or benefits of the Contributed Entities being passed through to the members. As such, no recognition of federal or state income taxes for the Contributed Entities or their subsidiaries that are organized as limited liability companies has been provided for in the combined and consolidated financial statements and no provision for income taxes is included in the combined and consolidated financial statements. Any uncertain tax position taken by the members is not an uncertain position of the Contributed Entities.
ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the combined and consolidated financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Contributed Entities’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. No such items existed in 2025, 2024 or 2023.
In addition, certain subsidiaries of the Contributed Entities are subject to state and local income, franchise, and other forms of taxation imposed by certain state and local jurisdictions on their taxable income.
The Contributed Entities’ tax returns for tax years 2022 through 2025 remain subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.
Reportable Segments
The Contributed Entities’ segment information reflects how the chief operating decision maker reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. The Contributed Entities conduct their business through two reportable segments: Asset Management and Strategic Holdings. The Contributed Entities’ segment accounting policies are generally consistent with the accounting policies described herein. See Note 10 — Segment Reporting, for additional information regarding the Contributed Entities’ reportable segments, segment profitability measures and the basis on which segment results are presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by various standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Contributed Entities’ accounting and reporting. Except as otherwise stated below, the Contributed Entities are currently

NOTES TO COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

evaluating the effect that certain new accounting requirements may have on the Contributed Entities’ accounting and related reporting and disclosures in the Contributed Entities’ combined and consolidated financial statements.
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05, Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture, upon formation, to measure its assets and liabilities at fair value in its standalone financial statements. A joint venture will recognize the difference between the fair value of its equity and the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities as goodwill (or an equity adjustment, if negative) using the business combination accounting guidance regardless of whether the net assets meet the definition of a business. The new accounting standard is intended to reduce diversity in practice. This ASU will apply to joint ventures that meet the definition of a corporate joint venture under GAAP, thus limiting its scope to joint ventures not controlled and therefore not consolidated by any joint venture investor. This standard does not change the accounting of investments by the investors in a joint venture in their individual financial statements, and therefore, its adoption will have no impact on the Contributed Entities’ combined and consolidated financial statements. This accounting standard is effective for joint ventures formed on or after January 1, 2025. The Contributed Entities adopted the guidance during the year ended December 31, 2025, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Contributed Entities’ combined and consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), introducing changes to income tax disclosures, primarily relating to effective tax rates and cash paid for taxes. This ASU requires companies to provide an annual rate reconciliation in both dollar figures and percentages, and changes the way annual income taxes paid are disclosed by all entities, necessitating a breakdown by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The standard becomes effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and December 15, 2025 for all other entities. ASU 2023-09 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The impact of adoption is subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Contributed Entities adopted the standard for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 with no material effect on their disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective on either a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Contributed Entities are currently evaluating whether the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have a material impact on their combined and consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, an update to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, and ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASU 2025-03”). ASU 2025-03 amends the guidance for determining the accounting acquirer in a business combination in which the legal acquiree is a VIE. This amendment aligns the determination of the accounting acquirer for VIEs with the guidance used for other business combinations. ASU 2025-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Contributed Entities have early adopted ASU 2025-03 beginning January 1, 2026, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Contributed Entities’ combined and consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Contributed Entities have the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

NOTES TO COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(information as of March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is unaudited)
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Contributed Entities’ assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
The following describes the methods the Contributed Entities use to estimate the fair value of the Contributed Entities’ financial assets and liabilities:
Investments in Managed Funds — at Fair Value — Investments in managed funds — at fair value accounted for under the equity-method of accounting consist of the Contributed Entities’ interests in certain Funds, which are not redeemable or are subject to redemption restrictions.
For investments in managed Funds that do not have readily determinable fair values, the Contributed Entities use NAV per share, or its equivalent, as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The practical expedient is used when the underlying Fund calculates NAV in a manner consistent with the measurement principles applicable to investment companies under ASC Topic 946 as of the Contributed Entities’ measurement date. NAV generally represents the Contributed Entities’ proportionate interest in the net assets of the underlying Fund, which are measured principally at fair value under the Fund’s valuation policies. The Contributed Entities evaluate the reported NAV, the underlying Fund’s valuation process and any relevant restrictions on redemption or transfer in determining whether NAV is an appropriate estimate of fair value. Investments measured using the NAV practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy and are presented separately in the recurring fair value table.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures — at Fair Value — Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures at fair value that were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and were valued using a discounted cash flow methodology. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and 2024, these investments had an aggregate fair value of $14.7 million (unaudited), $14.7 million and $29.8 million, respectively. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of these investments was based on a 30.0% discount rate and a 10.0x multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The fair value of these investments as of December 31, 2024 was based on a 20.0% discount rate and a 14.0x multiple of EBITDA.
Equity Securities — The Contributed Entities’ equity securities are valued using Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending upon the availability of the fair value inputs used in determining the respective fair values. The estimated fair value of the Contributed Entities’ equity securities is based on quoted market prices when readily and regularly available in an active market.
A breakout of the Contributed Entities’ equity securities’ levels of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and 2024 can be found in the tables under Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis below.
Credit Investments — The Contributed Entities value these investments using available market quotations, pricing-service information, broker-dealer indications and discounted cash flow analyses, as applicable.
Credit Facilities and Notes Payable, Net — The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Contributed Entities as of the measurement date. Current and prior period liabilities’ carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs. These financial instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs. As of March 31, 2026, the estimated fair value of the Contributed Entities’ debt was $354.6 million (unaudited), compared to a carrying value of $353.9 million (unaudited). As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Contributed Entities’ debt was $336.6 million, compared to a carrying value of $335.7 million. The estimated fair value of the Contributed Entities’ debt as of December 31, 2024 was $267.6 million compared to a carrying value of $269.9 million.
Other Financial Instruments — The Contributed Entities consider the carrying values of their cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other short-term assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization as well as their highly-liquid nature.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Contributed Entities could realize, or be liable for, upon disposition of the financial assets and liabilities. The Contributed Entities evaluate their hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. The Contributed Entities do not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent.

The fair value option provides an option to elect fair value for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments.
The Contributed Entities have elected to measure certain instruments at fair value for several reasons including to mitigate income statement volatility caused by the differences between the measurement basis of elected instruments (e.g., certain instruments that otherwise would be accounted for on an accrual basis) and the associated risk management arrangements that are accounted for on a fair value basis, as well as to better reflect those instruments that are managed on a fair value basis.
The Contributed Entities have elected the fair value option for the following instruments:
•Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures — at fair value
Gains and losses related to investment funds are recorded in income from equity-method investments on the combined and consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses related to investments of consolidated VIEs are recorded in revenues from consolidated investments on the combined and consolidated statements of operations. Additional information regarding debt investments for which the fair value option has been elected, including principal balances and fair values, is included in Note 4 — Investments.

Litigation and Legal and Regulatory Matters
In the ordinary course of business, the Contributed Entities and/or their subsidiaries may become subject to litigation and claims. The Contributed Entities are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Contributed Entities’ business, to which the Contributed Entities are a party or of which the Contributed Entities’ properties are the subject. The Contributed Entities and/or their subsidiaries are also subject to oversight by various local, state and federal regulatory authorities, including, but not limited to, real estate, finance, and/or securities regulators and tax authorities. From time to time, the Contributed Entities and/or their subsidiaries receive requests for information from governmental authorities conducting inquiries regarding business activities. The Contributed Entities have cooperated and will continue to cooperate with such requests. The Contributed Entities believe that the ultimate resolution of any governmental inquiry will not have a material impact on the Contributed Entities’ combined and consolidated financial position or their results of operations.

NOTE 10 — SEGMENT REPORTING
The Contributed Entities conduct their business through two reportable segments which are presented below and reflect how their chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Contributed Entities’ Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information to allocate capital, assess operating performance and make strategic business decisions.
–Asset Management: The Asset Management segment represents the Contributed Entities’ primary operating business and provides real assets management, development, property management, leasing, servicing, capital markets and other real asset services to Funds and other entities managed or sponsored by the Contributed Entities or their affiliates.
–Strategic Holdings: The Strategic Holdings segment consists of principal capital invested through Funds, owner-operator partnerships, warehoused investments, strategic investments and other balance-sheet investments.
The Contributed Entities’ CODM is their Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates each segment based on segment earnings, which are presented before income taxes.

Asset Management Segment Earnings
Asset Management segment earnings is the segment profitability measure used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of the Asset Management segment. Asset Management segment earnings include management fees and other, the Contributed Entities’ share of realized net investment income from other owner-operators of real assets, and net realized performance allocations. These are reduced by compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses. Asset Management segment earnings is presented net of net income allocated to noncontrolling interests of underlying consolidated entities and excludes unrealized performance allocations, net of related expenses and other items that the Contributed Entities do not consider indicative of segment performance.
Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings
Strategic Holdings segment earnings is the segment profitability measure used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of the Strategic Holdings segment. Strategic Holdings segment earnings consists of the net investment income, including revenues from consolidated investments and investment income from equity-method investments, and net realized gains and losses from investments, including impairment losses. These are reduced by interest expense allocated to the Strategic Holdings segment, expenses from consolidated investments, and general and administrative expenses included in the measure reviewed by the CODM and are presented net of net income allocated to noncontrolling interests of underlying consolidated entities.
Inter-segment Transactions
Inter-segment transactions are not eliminated from segment results when such transactions are considered by the CODM in assessing the results of the respective segments. These transactions primarily include management fees and other fees and reimbursement revenues earned by the Asset Management segment from the Strategic Holdings segment, resulting in an increase to Asset Management segment earnings and a reduction to Strategic Holdings segment earnings. All inter-segment transactions are recorded by each segment based on the applicable governing agreements.
The following tables present the Contributed Entities’ segment results (in thousands):
