1. Organization and Description of Business
Cohen & Steers, Inc. (CNS) was organized as a Delaware corporation on March 17, 2004. CNS is the holding company for its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (CSCM), Cohen & Steers Securities, LLC (CSS), Cohen & Steers UK Limited (CSUK), Cohen & Steers Ireland Limited (CSIL), Cohen & Steers Asia Limited (CSAL), Cohen & Steers Japan Limited (CSJL) and Cohen & Steers Singapore Private Limited (CSSG) (collectively, the Company).
The Company is a global investment manager specializing in real assets and alternative income, including listed and private real estate, preferred securities, infrastructure, resource equities, commodities, as well as multi-strategy solutions. Founded in 1986, the Company is headquartered in New York City, with offices in London, Dublin, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.
2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The condensed consolidated financial statements set forth herein include the accounts of CNS and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as well as certain investment vehicles that it is required to consolidate. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results have been made. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2027 for annual reporting and January 1, 2028 for interim reporting. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use-Software. The ASU provides targeted amendments to modernize the accounting framework for internal-use software development, including the removal of the traditional "development stage" model and the introduction of a more principles-based approach to capitalization. Under the new guidance, companies may begin capitalizing internal-use software costs when: management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform its intended function. This new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2028. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments clarify the applicability of interim reporting guidance, specify the form and content of interim financial statements and provide a consolidated list of required interim disclosures across other Accounting Standards Codification topics. The amendments also establish a principle requiring disclosure of events occurring since the end of the last annual reporting period that had a material impact on the entity. This guidance will be effective on January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this standard will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Consolidation of Investment Vehicles
The Company's financial interests in investment vehicles, including the management fees that are received, are evaluated at inception and thereafter, if there is a reconsideration event, in order to determine whether to apply the Variable Interest Entity (VIE) model or the Voting Interest Entity (VOE) model.
A VIE is an entity in which either the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or the group of holders of the equity investment at risk lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Limited partnerships and similar entities are determined to be a VIE generally when the Company is the general partner and the limited partners do not hold substantive kick-out or participation rights. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect its performance, and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of any VIEs identified by evaluating its economic interests in the entity held either directly by the Company and its affiliates or indirectly through employees. VIEs for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary are consolidated. Subscriptions and redemptions or amendments to the governing documents of the respective entities could affect an entity's status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary.
Investments that are determined to be VOEs are consolidated when the Company’s ownership interest is greater than 50% of the outstanding voting interests of the vehicle.
The Company records noncontrolling interests in consolidated funds for which the Company’s ownership is less than 100%.

Equity investments at fair value include certain investments for which the Company has elected the fair value option that otherwise would be accounted for under the equity method. The fair value option was elected to align the measurement
and recognition of gains and losses with the Company's other seed investments.
Equity investments at fair value for which the Company has elected the fair value option include:
•Seed investments in certain active exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are classified as Level 1; and
•Seed investment in Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. (CNSREIT) classified as Level 2. Quoted prices in active markets are not available for CNSREIT and fair value is determined using the monthly published net asset value (NAV), which is an observable transaction price. Shares of CNSREIT are not actively traded, as subscriptions and redemptions are permitted on a monthly basis.
The following tables summarize amounts related to the investments for which the fair value option has been elected:

Equity investments at fair value classified as Level 3 were comprised of limited partnership interests in joint ventures that hold investments in private real estate.
Trading investments classified as Level 2 were comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. Fair values were generally determined using third-party pricing services. The pricing services may utilize evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information.
Investments measured using NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient primarily consist of limited partnership interests in private real estate funds. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have the ability to redeem its interests in certain of these investments and others may be redeemed subject to certain restrictions. These investments have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy and are presented in the above tables to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
Total return swap contracts classified as Level 2 were valued based on the underlying futures contracts or equity indices.
Foreign currency exchange contracts classified as Level 2 were valued based on the prevailing forward exchange rate, which is an input that is observable in active markets.

12. Segment Information

The Company uses a consolidated approach to assess performance and allocate resources and as such operates in a single reportable segment. The Company’s Executive Committee is the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and regularly receives financial information and management reports that are prepared on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses net income as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, total assets as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and other metrics to monitor performance against specific business objectives, evaluate performance against peers and benchmarks, manage expenses and allocate capital. The CODM receives expense information prepared on the same basis as the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and is not provided with any financial measures that differ from those used in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Executive Overview
General
We are a global investment manager specializing in real assets and alternative income, including listed and private real estate, preferred securities, infrastructure, resource equities, commodities, as well as multi-strategy solutions. Founded in 1986, we are headquartered in New York City, with offices in London, Dublin, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.
Our strategies seek to achieve a variety of investment objectives for different risk profiles and are actively managed by specialist teams of investment professionals who employ fundamental-driven research and portfolio management processes. We offer our strategies through a variety of investment vehicles, including mutual funds, active exchange-traded funds (ETFs), non-U.S. registered funds (SICAVs), other commingled vehicles, institutional accounts and closed-end funds.
Our global distribution is concentrated in two channels: wealth and institutional. The wealth channel includes a variety of intermediaries such as global private banks, U.S. wirehouses, independent and regional broker-dealers, bank trusts, registered investment advisers and discretionary portfolio managers using global custody or clearing platforms. The institutional channel comprises sovereign wealth funds, public and private pension and retirement plans, insurance companies, endowments, foundations, and global investment consultants who support these institutions.
Our revenue from the wealth channel is derived from investment advisory, administration, distribution and service fees from mutual funds, ETFs, SICAVs and other commingled vehicles (collectively, “wealth vehicles”) as well as closed-end funds. Our revenue from the institutional channel is derived from fees received from our clients for managing advised and subadvised accounts. Our fees are based on contractually specified rates applied to the value of the assets we manage and, in certain cases, may include a performance-based fee. Investment advisory fee rates vary based on the vehicle, investment strategy, fees charged by other comparable products and prevailing market conditions. Investment administration fees from mutual funds and certain closed-end funds are designed to reimburse us for the cost of providing these services. The investment advisory and administration agreements are generally terminable upon specified notice periods and may also require a majority vote of the fund’s board of directors for certain contracts.
Our revenue fluctuates with changes in our assets under management, which may occur as a result of market appreciation and depreciation, contributions to or withdrawals from investor accounts and distributions. This revenue is recognized over the period that the assets are managed.
Macroeconomic Environment
Global economic conditions remained volatile through the third quarter of 2026, as geopolitical developments, persistent inflationary pressures and evolving monetary policy expectations continued to influence financial markets. Investors remained focused on the potential economic and productivity implications of artificial intelligence investment and adoption, conditions within private credit markets, and ongoing geopolitical developments in the Middle East and their effects on energy prices and inflation. Central banks continued to balance resilient economic activity against persistent inflationary pressures, while economic growth and corporate fundamentals generally remained solid.
Investment Performance at September 30, 2026
_________________________
(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Outperformance is determined by comparing the annualized investment performance of each investment strategy to the performance of specified reference benchmarks. Investment performance in excess of the performance of the benchmark is considered outperformance. The investment performance calculation of each investment strategy is based on all active accounts and investment models pursuing similar investment objectives. For accounts, actual investment performance is measured gross of fees and net of withholding taxes. For investment models, for which actual investment performance does not exist, the investment performance of a composite of accounts pursuing comparable investment objectives is used as a proxy for actual investment performance. The performance of the specified reference benchmark for each account and investment model is measured net of withholding taxes, where applicable.

The top 10% of funds in each category receive five stars, the next 22.5% receive four stars, the next 35% receive three stars, the next 22.5% receive two stars and the bottom 10% receive one star. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Based on independent rating by Morningstar, Inc. of investment performance of each Cohen & Steers-sponsored open-end U.S.-registered mutual fund for all share classes for the overall period at September 30, 2026. Overall Morningstar rating is a weighted average based on the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year Morningstar rating. Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.

Reconciliations of U.S. GAAP to Adjusted Financial Results
Management believes that use of the following adjusted (non-GAAP) financial results provides greater transparency into the Company’s operating performance. In addition, these adjusted financial results are used to prepare the Company's internal management reports that are used in evaluating its business. While management believes that these adjusted financial results are useful in evaluating operating performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted Statement of Financial Condition
The condensed consolidated statements of financial condition on a GAAP basis include amounts attributable to certain funds that we are required to consolidate. The adjusted statement of financial condition provided below excludes amounts attributable to these consolidated funds and instead presents our economic interest in our seed investments on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Adjusted investments increased during the period, reflecting capital deployment into U.S. Treasury securities of $70.0 million and additional strategic seed investments of $45.7 million, including contributions of $30.7 million into CNSREIT. Adjusted stockholders’ equity attributable to Cohen & Steers, Inc. increased to $607.7 million at September 30, 2026 from $562.0 million at December 31, 2025. For additional discussion of the Company’s liquidity position, capital deployment activities and cash flows, see “Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We seek to maintain a financial condition that supports our business strategies and provides sufficient liquidity to fund operations, invest in growth opportunities and return capital to stockholders. Our current financial condition is highly liquid and is primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities, liquid seed investments and cash generated from operating activities.
The table below summarizes net liquid assets: | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (in thousands) | September 30, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 66,122 | | | $ | 145,452 | |

| Net liquid assets | $ | 368,999 | | | $ | 367,006 | |
________________________
(1)Consolidated fund amounts are presented net of noncontrolling interests.
Other current assets and current liabilities
Investment advisory and administration fees receivable comprise a significant portion of other current assets. Based on our ongoing assessment of collectability, no allowance for uncollectible accounts was required as of September 30, 2026. Current liabilities primarily consist of accrued compensation and benefits, distribution and service fees payable, operating lease obligations, certain income taxes payable and certain other liabilities and accrued expenses.
Net liquid assets
Net liquid assets increased to $369.0 million at September 30, 2026 from $367.0 million at December 31, 2025. Cash generated from operating activities during the period was offset by capital deployed, including purchases of U.S. Treasury securities and strategic seed investments, as well as dividends paid to stockholders and share repurchases related to employee tax withholding obligations.
Future liquidity needs
Our business may become capital intensive over time as we pursue growth initiatives, including seeding or co-investing in new strategies and investment vehicles, funding product launches and making other strategic investments. To provide additional financial flexibility, we maintain a $100.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on August 15, 2029.
We have committed to invest up to a total of $175.0 million in certain of our investment vehicles, of which $34.5 million remained unfunded as of September 30, 2026. The timing for funding the remaining portion of our commitments is uncertain.
Cash flows
Our cash flows are primarily generated by investment advisory and administration fees earned from our asset management business. The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows on a GAAP basis include amounts attributable to certain funds that we are required to consolidate. The adjusted cash flow data provided below excludes amounts attributable to these consolidated funds. While management believes that this adjusted cash flow data is useful in evaluating the Company’s ability to fund future operating, investing and financing activities, this information should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

For details of the Company’s GAAP basis cash flows, please refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Part I, Item 1 of this filing.
Adjusted cash flows from operating activities consisted primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash income and expense items and changes in working capital. Adjusted cash flows used in investing activities included net purchases of U.S. Treasury securities held for corporate purposes of $70.0 million and additional subscriptions into Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. of $30.7 million, partially offset by net redemptions of seed investments in ETFs of $22.4 million. Adjusted cash flows used in financing activities included dividends paid to stockholders of $103.6 million and repurchases of common stock to satisfy employee withholding tax obligations on the vesting and delivery of restricted stock units of $17.7 million.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations
The Company’s material contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies at September 30, 2026 include operating leases, investment commitments, and purchase obligations. As of September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 other than the items described below.
Investment Commitments
Refer to Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this filing for further discussion.
Dividends
Subject to the approval of our board of directors, we anticipate paying dividends. When determining whether to pay a dividend, we consider general economic and business conditions, our strategic plans, our results of operations and financial condition, cash flows and liquidity, contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, if any, by us and our subsidiaries and such other factors deemed relevant.
On October 29, 2026, we declared a quarterly dividend on our common stock in the amount of $0.67 per share. This dividend will be payable on November 19, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2026.
Critical Accounting Estimates
A complete discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of our business, we are exposed to risk as a result of changes in securities markets, interest and currency rates and other general economic conditions including inflation, which may have an adverse impact on the value of our assets under management and our seed investments. The majority of our revenue is derived from investment advisory and administration fees, which are based on average assets under management. Accordingly, where there are changes in the value of the assets we manage as a result of market fluctuations, our revenue may change.
The economic environment may also preclude us from increasing the assets we manage in closed-end funds. The market conditions for these offerings may not be favorable in the future, which could adversely impact our ability to grow the assets we manage. Depending on market conditions, the closed-end funds we manage may increase or decrease their leverage to maintain target leverage ratios, thereby increasing or decreasing the assets we manage and the associated revenue.
Seed investments
Our seed investments included both liquid and illiquid holdings. Liquid seed investments are generally traded in active markets on major exchanges and can typically be liquidated within a normal settlement cycle. Illiquid seed investments typically have contractual restrictions on redemption.
Our seed investments are subject to market risk. We may mitigate this risk by entering into derivative contracts designed to hedge certain portions of our risk. The following table summarizes the effect of a ten percent increase or decrease on the carrying value of our seed investments, which are presented net of noncontrolling interests, if any, as of September 30, 2026 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Carrying Value | | Notional Value - Hedges | | Net Carrying Value | | Net Carrying Value Assuming a 10% increase | | Net Carrying Value Assuming a 10% decrease |

| Illiquid seed investments—net | | $ | 159,448 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 159,448 | | | $ | 175,393 | | | $ | 143,503 | |
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
