NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “Victory,” or in the first-person notations of “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report"). Certain prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. Such changes were made for clarity and comparability and had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. Our involvement with non-consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) includes sponsored investment funds.

For further discussion regarding VIEs, refer to Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and the notes. Actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from our 2025 Annual Report.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Reporting Comprehensive Income: In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("DISE"). This ASU does not change or remove current expense presentation requirements within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, the amendments require disclosure, on an annual and interim basis, of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items within the notes to the consolidated financial statements. DISE is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Internal-Use Software: 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 ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 modernizes the guidance on accounting for internal-use software costs by removing references to traditional development project stages and instead requiring capitalization when management commits to funding and it is probable the project will be completed. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.

No other recently adopted or issued accounting standards had, or will have, a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

The Company’s revenue includes fees earned from providing;

•

investment management services,

•

fund administration services,

•

fund transfer agent services, and

•

fund distribution services.

Revenue is recognized for each distinct performance obligation identified in customer contracts when the performance obligation has been satisfied by transferring services to a customer either over time or at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the service. Revenue is recognized in the amount of variable or fixed consideration allocated to the satisfied performance obligation that Victory expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring services to a customer.

Table of Contents

Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only when it is probable that a significant reversal of such revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

Pioneer Investments

On April 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Amundi Asset Management S.A.S ("Amundi")'s U.S. business ("Amundi US") and reintroduced the brand Pioneer Investments ("Pioneer" or "Pioneer Investments") for the acquired business and investment products ("Amundi Transaction"). Pioneer Investments is the Company's largest investment franchise, and the transaction meaningfully enhanced the Company's scale, expanded its global client base, and further diversified its investment capabilities.

In exchange for the contribution of all the shares of the Amundi US to the Company, the Company issued to Amundi (a) 3,293,471 newly issued shares of Common stock, representing 4.9% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common stock after giving effect to such issuance, and (b) 19,698,274 newly issued shares of Preferred stock, which, together with the shares of Common stock issued to Amundi represented in the aggregate 26.1% of the Company’s fully diluted shares after giving effect to such share issuances. Total purchase price consideration was approximately $1,326 million, settled entirely in Company shares. For further detail on the transaction consideration, refer to Note 4 in the Company's 2025 Annual Report.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company accounted for the acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, allocating the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the first quarter of 2026 within the one-year measurement period prescribed by ASC 805.

Financial Results

Revenue recognized by Pioneer Investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
(in millions)	June 30, 2026		June 30, 2026
Revenue	$	204	$	362

Net income attributable to Pioneer Investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is impractical to determine as the Company does not prepare discrete financial information at the franchise level.

The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 include operating results of the Amundi US acquired company. The following unaudited pro forma figures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2025 and combines the financial results of the Company and Amundi US after adjusting primarily for amortization of intangible assets and additional fixed asset depreciation that would have been expensed assuming the fair value adjustments had been applied on January 1, 2025, net of any tax impact. This unaudited information is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as indicative of historical results that would have been obtained if the acquisition had occurred on that date, nor of the results that may be obtained in the future.

Acquisition-related and other costs

Acquisition-related costs include legal fees, advisory services, mutual fund proxy voting costs and other one-time expenses related to business combinations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a net credit of $0.7 million and $7.0 million of expense, respectively, in acquisition-related costs. The Company expensed $25.8 million and $34.5 million in acquisition-related costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. These amounts are included in acquisition-related costs in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 5. SEGMENT REPORTING

ASU 2023-07, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report segment revenue and significant expenses reported in net income, the primary measurement used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in evaluating segment performance.

The Company provides investment management services and products to institutional, intermediary, retirement platforms and individual investors. The presentation of financial results as one reportable segment is consistent with the way discrete financial information is available that is regularly provided to our Chief Executive Officer, the CODM. When making decisions about allocating resources, assessing performance, and understanding how our long-term organic revenue growth is driven by investment decisions our CODM uses net income and considers the impact on consolidated, entity-wide performance and financial results.

Significant segment expenses are presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additional disaggregated significant segment expenses that are not separately presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are presented below:

Equity awards typically vest over several years based on service and the achievement of specific business and financial targets. The value of the equity awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period.

NOTE 6. Income Taxes

Table of Contents

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 differs from the United States federal statutory rate primarily due to state and local income taxes, excess tax benefits on share-based compensation and non-deductible expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the provision for income taxes was $47.8 million and $28.3 million, or 25.6% and 32.5%, of pre-tax income, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the provision for income taxes was $83.6 million and $46.7 million, or 24.9% and 27.9% of pre-tax income, respectively.

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were lower than the effective tax rates for the same periods in 2025 primarily due to a decrease in non-deductible expenses and the state and local tax rate, partially offset by decreased excess tax benefits on share-based compensation.

No valuation allowance was recorded for deferred tax assets in the period ended June 30, 2026, and 2025.

NOTE 7. Investments

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had investments in proprietary funds and deferred compensation plan investments. Investments in proprietary funds consist primarily of seed capital investments in certain Victory Funds. Deferred compensation plan investments include investments in affiliated and third party mutual funds held in a rabbi trust under a deferred compensation plan.

The following table presents the fair value of the Company's investments:

NOTE 8. Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines the fair value of certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value determinations utilize a valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability.

Classification within the fair value hierarchy contains three levels:

•

Level 1—Valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•

Level 2—Valuation inputs are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and other observable inputs directly or indirectly related to the asset or liability being measured.

•

Level 3—Valuation inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Table of Contents

The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


	As of June 30, 2026

Total Financial Liabilities	$	(87,564	)	$	-	$	-	$	(87,564	)

Level 1 assets consist of money market funds and open-end mutual funds. The fair values for these assets are determined utilizing quoted market prices for identical assets.

There were no transfers between any of the Level 1, 2 and 3 categories in the fair value measurement hierarchy from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026. The Company recognizes transfers at the end of the reporting period.

The net carrying value of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short‑term nature of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of our long-term debt as of June 30, 2026 is considered to be its carrying value as the interest rate on the bank debt is variable and approximates current market rates. As a result, Level 2 inputs are utilized to determine the fair value of our long‑term debt.

Contingent payment arrangements

WestEnd

Contingent consideration arrangements represent the WestEnd earn-out payment liability which is included in consideration payable for acquisition of business in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the terms of the WestEnd purchase agreement, a maximum of $320.0 million ($80.0 million per year) of contingent payments is payable to sellers. Contingent earn-out payments are based on net revenue of the WestEnd business during each of the first four years following the close of the acquisition, subject to certain “catch-up” provisions over a five and one-half year period following the close of the acquisition.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company paid $39.9 million in cash to sellers for the third earn-out period. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable to the sellers was $53.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and $87.6 million as of December 31, 2025.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the change in the liability was an increase of $2.0 million and $5.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the change in liability was an increase of $1.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The impact of decreasing or increasing the valuation of the contingent consideration liability is recorded in change in value of consideration payable for acquisition of business in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The estimated fair value for contingent consideration payable to sellers is estimated using the real options method. WestEnd net revenue growth is simulated in a risk-neutral framework to calculate expected probability-weighted earn out payments, which are then discounted from the expected payment dates at the relevant cost of debt. Significant assumptions and inputs include the WestEnd net revenue projected annual growth rate, the market price of risk, which adjusts the projected revenue

Table of Contents

growth rate to a risk-neutral expected growth rate, revenue volatility and discount rate. The market price of risk and revenue volatility are based on data for comparable companies. As the contingent consideration represents a subordinate, unsecured claim of the Company, the Company assesses a discount rate which incorporates adjustments for credit risk and the subordination of the contingent consideration

Significant inputs to the valuation of contingent consideration payable to sellers as of June 30 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows and are approximate values:



	June 30, 2026			December 31, 2025
Net revenue 5 year average annual growth rate		12	%		11	%
Market price of risk adjustment for revenue (continuous)		4	%		4	%
Revenue volatility		20	%		20	%
Discount rate		7	%		6	%
Years remaining in earn out period	1.3 years			1.8 years
Undiscounted estimated remaining earn out payments $ millions	$50 - $80			$89 - $160

The following table presents the balance of the contingent consideration arrangement liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2026:


(in thousands)	Contingent Consideration Liabilities
Balance, December 31, 2025	$	87,564
WestEnd earn-out payment		(39,943	)
WestEnd change in fair value measurement		5,578
Balance, June 30, 2026	$	53,199

New Energy Capital

Under the terms of the purchase agreement for New Energy Capital Partners ("NEC"), which closed during 2021, the Company will pay up to an additional $35.0 million in cash based on net revenue growth over a six-year period on the private, closed-end alternative investment funds managed by the NEC franchise ("NEC Funds"). The maximum amount of contingent payments, less any contingent payments previously paid, is due upon the occurrence of certain specified events within a five year period following the Start Date.

The Company determined that substantially all of the contingent payments payable per the NEC purchase agreement represent compensation for post-closing services. The Company records compensation expense over the estimated service period in an amount equal to the total contingent payments currently forecasted to be paid.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the contingent payments are no longer probable of occurring and the liability for NEC contingent payments is zero.

Unamortized debt discount		(6,495	)				(4,016	)
Long-term debt, net	$	967,974				$	970,014

The 2019 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that affect, among other things, the ability of the first lien leverage ratio, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter on which outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility exceed 35.0% of the commitments thereunder (excluding certain letters of credit), of no greater than 4.00 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Company was in compliance with its financial performance covenant.

Debt modifications and repayments

On May 18, 2026, pursuant to the Seventh Amendment of the 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company refinanced its existing term loans (the "Existing Term Loans") with repriced term loans (the "Repriced Term Loans") which will bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of the Company, either SOFR plus a margin of 1.75% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 0.75%.

The Company elects to use three-month Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.75% required by the 2019 Credit Agreement to pay interest on its debt.

Pursuant to ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company evaluated the Repriced Term Loans on a lender-by-lender basis and accounted accordingly for debt extinguishment costs and debt modification costs (for the portion of the transaction that did not meet the accounting criteria for debt extinguishment). On the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the financing cash outflows and inflows associated with this transaction were determined on a lender-by-lender basis and repayments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $306.6 million. During the three and six months ended June 2026, the Company incurred costs of $2.4 million related to the Seventh Amendment, of which $2.0 million was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment and $0.4 million was recognized as general and administrative expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company repaid an additional $2.5 million and $4.9 million of the outstanding term loans under the 2019 Credit Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.

There were no repayments of outstanding term loans under the 2019 Credit Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award

In 2026, the Board of Directors approved a one-time grant of 1.3 million performance-based shares of restricted stock ("Performance Shares" or "PRSAs") to key executives under the 2018 Plan. The PRSAs vest upon achievement of four absolute stock price hurdles during a seven-year measurement period commencing on the grant date, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date. A hurdle is deemed achieved when the average closing trading price equals or exceeds the applicable threshold for five consecutive trading days. Vested shares are subject to a one-year post-vesting holding requirement, and any shares that do not vest during the measurement period or prior to termination of employment will be forfeited.

The grant-date fair value of $60.8 million was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the total shares allocated equally across four tranches. A Monte Carlo simulation model requires inputs such as the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, stock price, valuation date, and expected dividend yield. Expected volatility was estimated based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock. The grant-date fair value also reflects a discount for post-vesting restrictions, which was measured using a market-based valuation model. Compensation expense for each tranche is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective derived service period, which ranges from 0.32 years to 2.54 years,

with no reversal if the market condition is not satisfied. Any remaining unrecognized expense is recognized immediately upon achievement of the applicable hurdle.

(1)

Under the two-class method, total dividends provided to and undistributed earnings allocated to the preferred stockholders are subtracted from net income in determining income attributable to common stockholders.

(2)

This amount reflects the impact of reversing undistributed earnings allocated to preferred stockholders in the basic earnings per share calculation and reallocating undistributed earnings to preferred stockholders and common stockholders including the impact of dilutive instruments.

Outstanding instruments excluded from the computation of weighted average shares for diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive were de minimis for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Holders of non-vested share-based compensation awards do not have rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends on the shares covered by the awards.

NOTE 13. DERIVATIVES

Interest Rate Swaps

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company monetized the gain on the floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction (“Swap”) entered into in 2020 to effectively fix the interest rate on $450 million of its outstanding Term Loan through the Term Loan maturity date of July 1, 2026.

The deferred gain on the termination of the Swap is being amortized on a straight-line basis through September 23, 2032 and is included in interest expense and other financing costs on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $2.1 million and $4.2 million, in amortization of deferred gain on Swap monetization. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $2.6 million and $8.3 million in amortization of deferred gain on Swap monetization.

As and June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the unamortized deferred gain on Swap monetization was $9.2 million and $11.7 million, respectively, before tax.

Overview

Our Business – Victory is a diversified global asset management firm with total client assets of $346.1 billion, assets under management of $342.5 billion and other assets of $3.6 billion as of June 30, 2026. The Company operates a next-generation business model combining boutique investment qualities with the benefits of an integrated, centralized operating and distribution platform.

The Company provides specialized investment strategies to institutions, intermediaries, retirement platforms and individual investors with multiple autonomous Investment Franchises and a Solutions Platform. Victory Capital offers a wide array of investment products, including actively and passively managed mutual funds, rules-based and active exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), institutional separate accounts, variable insurance products (“VIPs”), alternative investments, private closed end funds, and a 529 Education Savings Plan. Victory Capital’s strategies are also offered through third-party investment products, including mutual funds, third-party ETF model strategies, retail separately managed accounts (“SMAs”) and unified managed accounts (“UMAs”) through wrap account programs, Collective Investment Trusts (“CITs”), and undertakings for the collective investment in transferable securities (“UCITS”). As of June 30, 2026, our Franchises and our Solutions Platform collectively managed a diversified set of 189 investment strategies for a wide range of institutional and retail clients and direct investors.

Franchises – Our Franchises are largely operationally integrated but are separately branded and make investment decisions independently from one another within guidelines established by their respective investment mandates. Our largely integrated model creates a supportive environment in which our investment professionals, largely unencumbered by administrative and operational responsibilities, can focus on their pursuit of investment excellence. VCM employs all of our U.S. investment professionals across our Franchises, which are not separate legal entities.

Solutions – Our Solutions Platform consists of multi‑asset, multi-manager, quantitative, rules-based, factor-based, and customized portfolios. These strategies are designed to achieve specific return characteristics, with products that include values-based and thematic outcomes and exposures. We offer our Solutions Platform through a variety of vehicles, including separate accounts, mutual funds, UMA accounts, and rules-based and active ETFs under our VictoryShares ETF brand. Like our Franchises, our Solutions Platform is operationally integrated and supported by our centralized distribution, marketing, and operational support functions.

Professionals within our institutional and retail distribution channels, direct investor business and marketing organization sell our products through our centralized distribution model. Our institutional sales team focuses on cultivating relationships with institutional consultants, who account for the majority of the institutional market, as well as asset allocators seeking sub-advisers. Our retail sales team offers intermediary and retirement platform clients, including broker-dealers, retirement platforms and RIA networks, mutual funds and ETFs as well as SMAs through wrap fee programs and access to our investment models through UMAs. Our direct investor business serves the investment needs of individual clients.

We have grown our total client assets from $17.9 billion following the management-led buyout in August 2013 to $346.1 billion at June 30, 2026. We attribute this growth to our success in sourcing acquisitions and evolving them into organic growers, generating strong investment returns, and developing institutional, retail, international, and direct investor channels with deep penetration.

Pioneer Investments - On April 1, 2025, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement to combine Amundi’s U.S. business into the Company and reintroduced the brand Pioneer Investments for the acquired business and investment products. The addition of Pioneer Investments as the Company's largest Investment Franchise meaningfully enhances the Company's scale, expands its global client base and further diversifies its investment capabilities. The sequential results reflect Pioneer Investments as of April 1, 2025, which significantly impacted our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the comparable period. Refer to Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details related to the acquisition.

(1)

Management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to measure the operating profitability of the business. These measures eliminate the impact of one‑time acquisition, restructuring and integration costs and demonstrate the ongoing operating earnings metrics of the business. These measures are explained in more detail and reconciled to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP in “Supplemental Non‑GAAP Financial Information.”

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

(3)

Represents the tax benefits associated with deductions allowed for intangibles and goodwill generated from prior acquisitions in which we received a step-up in basis for tax purposes. Acquired intangible assets and goodwill may be amortized for tax purposes, generally over a 15-year period. The tax benefit from amortization on these assets is included to show the full economic benefit of deductions for all acquired intangibles with a step-up in tax basis. Due to our acquisitive nature, tax deductions allowed on acquired intangible assets and goodwill provide us with a significant supplemental economic benefit.

(4)

The Company includes participating securities in its computation of adjusted earnings per diluted share, including shares of series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Assets Under Management

Our profitability is largely affected by the level and composition of our AUM (including asset class and distribution channel) and the effective fee rates on our products. The amount and composition of our AUM are, and will continue to be, influenced by a number of factors, including; (i) investment performance, including fluctuations in the financial markets and the quality of our investment decisions; (ii) client flows into and out of our various strategies and investment vehicles; (iii) industry trends toward products or strategies that we either do or do not offer; (iv) our ability to attract and retain high quality investment, distribution, marketing and management personnel; (v) our decision to close strategies or limit growth of assets in a strategy when we believe it is in the best interest of our clients or conversely to re‑open strategies in part or entirely; and (vi) general investor sentiment and confidence. Our goal is to establish and maintain a client base that is diversified by Franchise and Solutions, asset class, distribution channel and vehicle. Due to rounding, AUM numbers presented in the tables below may not add up precisely to the totals provided.

Supplemental Non‑GAAP Financial Information

We use non-GAAP performance measures to evaluate the underlying operations of our business. Due to our acquisitive nature, there are a number of acquisition and restructuring related expenses included in GAAP measures that we believe distort the economic value of our organization and we believe that many investors use this information when assessing the financial performance of companies in the investment management industry. We have included these non-GAAP measures to provide investors with the same financial metrics used by management to assess the operating performance of our Company. The non-GAAP measures we report are "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted Net Income."

Represents the tax benefits associated with deductions allowed for intangible assets and goodwill generated from prior acquisitions in which we received a step-up in basis for tax purposes. Acquired intangible assets and goodwill may be amortized for tax purposes, generally over a 15-year period. The tax benefit from amortization on these assets is included to show the full economic benefit of deductions for all acquired intangible assets with a step-up in tax basis. Due to our acquisitive nature, tax deductions allowed on acquired intangible assets and goodwill provide us with a significant supplemental economic benefit.

Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures at other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify these measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary uses of cash relate to repayment of our debt obligations, funding of acquisitions and working capital needs, repurchasing of shares and payment of dividends, which are all expected to be met through cash generated from our operations and available capital resources.

The following table shows our liquidity position as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.


	June 30,			December 31,
(in thousands)	2026			2025
Cash and cash equivalents	$	70,126		$	163,690
Accounts and other receivables		244,330			181,141
Undrawn commitment on credit facility		100,000			100,000
Accounts and other payables		(163,024	)		(158,742	)

We manage our cash balances in order to fund our day-to-day operations. Our accounts receivable consists primarily of investment management fees that have been earned but not yet received from clients, income and other taxes receivable, and amounts receivable from the funds. We perform a review of our receivables on a monthly basis to assess collectability. We maintained a $100.0 million revolving credit facility at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (under the 2019 Credit Agreement) which had approximately $100.0 million undrawn as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

2019 Credit Agreement

Since 2019, the Company is a party to a credit agreement (the "2019 Credit Agreement"), which includes both a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with aggregate commitments of $100.0 million (with a $10.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit) and a term loan with an aggregate principal amount of $985.0 million (the “Existing Term Loans”). The Revolving Facility matures on September 23, 2030 and the Existing Term Loans mature on September 23, 2032.

On May 18, 2026, pursuant to the Seventh Amendment of the 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company refinanced its Existing Term Loans with repriced term loans (the "Repriced Term Loans") which will bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of the Company, either SOFR plus a margin of 1.75% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 0.75%. The Repriced Term Loans otherwise remain subject to substantially similar terms to those that were applicable to the Existing Term Loans.

The Company elects to use three-month Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.75% required by the 2019 Credit Agreement to pay interest on its debt.

Table of Contents

borrowings under the revolving credit facility exceed 35.0% of the commitments thereunder (excluding certain letters of credit), of no greater than 4.00 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Company was in compliance with its financial performance covenant.

There were no repayments of outstanding term loans under the 2019 Credit Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Contingent Consideration

At June 30, 2026, the Company had $53.2 million in contingent consideration that is estimated to be payable over the next year resulting from the WestEnd Acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded an increase of $2.0 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in the contingent payment liability associated with the WestEnd Acquisition, which is included in consideration payable for acquisition of business in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2026, the estimated fair value of the WestEnd Acquisition contingent payments was $53.2 million, and a maximum of $80.0 million in contingent consideration is potentially payable to sellers.

There were no other significant changes to our contractual obligations as reported in our 2025 Annual Report.

Capital Requirements

Victory Capital Services is a registered broker-dealer subject to the Uniform Net Capital requirements under the Exchange Act, which requires maintenance of certain minimum net capital levels. In addition, we have certain non-U.S. subsidiaries that have minimum capital requirements. As a result, such subsidiaries of our Company may be restricted in their ability to transfer cash to their parents.

Cash Flows

The following table is derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2026			2025
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	256,379		$	74,502
Net cash used in investing activities		13,567			78,116
Net cash used in financing activities		(363,448	)		(171,979	)

Operating Activities – Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $256.4 million, compared to $74.5 million of cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2025. The $181.9 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to increases of $130.8 million in net income, $32.5 million in non-cash items, and $18.6 million in working capital.

Investing Activities – Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $13.6 million and consisted of net trading activity of $15.7 million offset by $2.1 million of property and equipment purchases. The nature of our trading activities is further described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report.

Financing Activities – Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $363.4 million, compared to $172.0 million of cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2025. The $191.4 million increase was primarily due to higher activity and cash utilized for repurchases of common stock, net activity related to stock-based equity awards, payment of dividends, and net activity related to long-term debt of $192.3 million, $8.7 million, $9.0 million, and $5.0 million, respectively, partially offset by a $23.8 million decrease in payment of consideration for acquisition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

Substantially all of our revenues are derived from investment management, fund administration and distribution fees, which are primarily based on the market value of our AUM. Accordingly, our revenues and net income may decline as a result of our AUM decreasing due to depreciation of our investment portfolios. In addition, such depreciation could cause our clients to withdraw their assets in favor of other investment alternatives that they perceive to offer higher returns or lower risk, which could cause our revenues and net income to decline further.

The value of our AUM was approximately $342 billion at June 30, 2026. The following table summarizes the annualized impact to revenue of a 10% increase or decrease in the value of our AUM when applied to the strategies, products and client relationships shown below:


	Impact to Revenue of 10% change (in millions)		Weighted-Average fee rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026
Total Victory	$	164.2	48 basis points
Victory Funds		112.2	62 basis points
Separate Accounts and Other Pooled Vehicles		45.7	32 basis points

Exchange Rate Risk

A portion of the accounts that we advise hold investments that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Assuming 10% of our AUM are invested in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and excluding the impact of any hedging arrangement, a 10% increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar would increase or decrease the fair value of our AUM by approximately $3.7 billion, which would cause an annualized increase or decrease in revenues of approximately $17.9 million.

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2026, we were exposed to interest rate risk as a result of the amounts outstanding under the 2019 Credit Agreement, as amended. Refer to Note 10, Debt, for a description of the amounts outstanding as of such date and the applicable interest rate.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, the Company may purchase its shares from time to time in privately negotiated transactions, through block trades, pursuant to open market purchases, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the SEC. The amount and timing of purchases under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program will depend on a number of factors including the price and availability of the Company’s shares, trading volume, capital availability, Company performance and general economic and market conditions. The 2025 Share Repurchase Program can be suspended or discontinued at any time.
