NEW YORK, NY, January 22, 2026—Cohen & Steers, Inc. (NYSE: CNS) today reported its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

•The increase in total investment advisory and administration fees from the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to higher average assets under management, as well as the recognition of performance fees of $1.7 million.

•Employee compensation and benefits decreased from the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in incentive compensation to reflect actual amounts expected to be paid.

•Distribution and service fees increased from the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to $9.9 million of expenses related to the Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (UTF) rights offering. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in fees paid to intermediaries as investors shifted into lower fee share classes.

•General and administrative expenses increased from the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher fund organization costs related to the UTF rights offering of $0.9 million, increased talent acquisition costs and higher levels of travel and business development-related expenses.

Operating margin was 28.0% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with 34.5% for the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to expenses associated with the UTF rights offering of $10.8 million. Operating margin represents the ratio of operating income to revenue.

A reconciliation of the company’s statutory federal income tax rate to the effective income tax rate is summarized in the following table:

Assets under management at December 31, 2025 were $90.5 billion, a decrease of 0.4% from $90.9 billion at September 30, 2025. The decrease was due to market depreciation of $685 million and distributions of $875 million, partially offset by net inflows of $1.2 billion.

Assets under management in open-end funds at December 31, 2025 were $43.4 billion, a decrease of 2.2% from $44.4 billion at September 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to the following:

•Net inflows of $212 million into U.S. real estate, $89 million into real assets multi-strategy (included in "Other") and $59 million into global listed infrastructure, partially offset by net outflows of $358 million from preferred securities;

•Market depreciation of $568 million from U.S. real estate, partially offset by market appreciation of $126 million from preferred securities; and

•Distributions of $232 million from U.S. real estate and $134 million from preferred securities, of which $315 million was reinvested and included in net flows.

Assets under management in institutional accounts at December 31, 2025 were $35.1 billion, an increase of 1.0% from $34.7 billion at September 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to the following:

•Advisory:

◦Net inflows of $768 million into U.S. real estate, partially offset by net outflows of $134 million from real assets multi-strategy (included in "Other"); and

◦Market depreciation of $147 million from U.S. real estate.

•Subadvisory:

◦Net inflows of $403 million into global listed infrastructure, partially offset by net outflows of $186 million from U.S. real estate and $183 million from global/international real estate;

◦Market depreciation of $149 million from U.S. real estate; and

◦Distributions of $151 million from U.S. real estate.

Assets under management in closed-end funds at December 31, 2025 were $12.0 billion, an increase of 2.4% from $11.8 billion at September 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to the following:

•Net inflows of $513 million attributable to the UTF rights offering, including leverage;

•Market depreciation of $55 million; and

•Distributions of $176 million.

(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.
