    NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / November 13, 2025 / Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation (the “Company” or “HKHC”) (OTCID: HKHC) reported financial results for the third quarter of 2025. The Company’s management and advisory fee revenue grew during the quarter and year-to-date period as compared to 2024 resulting from increases in AUM in its separately managed accounts, ETFs, mutual funds and private funds. These increases in AUM across each of the various products and strategies were largely driven by increases in the market value of Texas Pacific Land Corporation (“TPL”) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust during 2024, which have resulted in higher monthly management fees throughout 2025. The Company has also experienced additional net cash inflows into the various products and strategies during 2025 and has increased its customer accounts during the quarter.

    The Company’s operating income for the third quarter of $2.9 million was positively impacted by the increased revenues, which were only partially offset by a variety of higher operating expenses, including higher commissions and higher distribution costs. Advisor only operating income, a non-GAAP measure, was $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $4.0 million from 2024.

    The third quarter of 2025 included $129.4 million of investment income, net from our consolidated investment products, primarily from unrealized gains related to the increase in fair value of a private placement investment that completed an initial public offering.

    The Company experienced unrealized losses on investments of $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, which was primarily the impact of a 12% decline in the fair value of TPL during the quarter. In addition, the Company’s equity losses, net, were $2.0 million from various equity interest holdings. These unrealized losses were partially offset by the unrealized gains of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from its digital asset holdings.

    On November 11, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.106 per share, payable on December 17, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 25, 2025.

    Additional Information about our performance

    The Company consolidates certain private funds in order for the consolidated financial statements to conform with generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the applicable consolidated funds are presented on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. Additionally, an amount that represents the Company’s clients’ interests in these consolidated private funds will be presented as redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The investment income (losses), other income (losses) and the expenses of the consolidated investment products will be presented within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, an amount that represents the net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests as well as the net income (loss) attributable to Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation will be presented on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

    Consolidated Investment Products (“CIPs”) consist of certain private investment funds which are sponsored by the Company. The Company has no right to the CIPs’ assets, other than its direct equity investments in them and investment management and other fees earned from them. The liabilities of the CIPs have no recourse to the Company’s assets beyond the level of its direct investment, therefore the Company bears no other risks associated with the CIPs’ liabilities.

    As indicated in the additional information presented in the tables below, there are several notable presentational differences as a result of the consolidation of the CIPs:

    • Management and advisory fees from CIPs, including incentive fees, are eliminated from consolidated revenues. Accordingly, our presentation without the CIPs reflects an increased revenue growth to $19.6 million, a 31% increase from the third quarter of 2024.

    • The presentation of Operating income without the CIPs includes the revenues to the advisor only and excludes the line item expenses of consolidated investment products. Management views this operating measure as a useful tool because it is prior to the impact of various fair value measurements of investments and digital assets, which can be volatile from quarter to quarter.

    • The equity in earnings of private funds, which results primarily from CIPs, is eliminated from the consolidated presentation as that activity is included within the investment results of the CIPs. Accordingly, our presentation without the CIPs reflects an increased level of equity earnings that presents an increase in the value of our holdings within the CIPs.

    • Stockholders’ equity and net income attributable to Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation are not impacted by the consolidation process.

    • The Statement of Financial Condition without the consolidation of private funds presents lower total assets as a result of excluding the total assets held by the CIPs as well as the associated redeemable noncontrolling interests, which represents our clients’ interests in these funds. A portion of the total assets held by private funds continues to relate to $247.5 million of economic interests held by Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation, which is reflected in Other Investments in the presentation below.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    In discussing financial results, the Company presented tables without the consolidation of certain private funds (also labeled “Advisor only”) which is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We use this non-GAAP financial measure internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including evaluating our overall performance and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe presenting this non-GAAP financial measure provides additional information to facilitate comparison of our historical operating costs and their trends, and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our financial condition and results of operations. We also believe presenting this measure allows investors to view our financial condition and results of operations using the same measure that we use in evaluating our performance and trends.

    Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    This news release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws that are intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. “Forward-looking statements” generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “assumptions,” “target,” “guidance,” “strategy,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projection,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe”, “potential,” or “continue” (or the negative or other derivatives of each of these terms) or similar terminology.

    Forward-looking statements convey our expectations, intentions, or forecasts about future events, circumstances, or results. All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time and many of which are beyond our control. You should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction or guarantee about the future. Actual future objectives, strategies, plans, prospects, performance, conditions, or results may differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. Some of the factors that may cause actual results or other future events or circumstances to differ from those in forward-looking statements are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the Company’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    • Net income attributable to Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation of $7.2 million, or $0.39 per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2025

    • Operating income for the third quarter of 2025 was $2.9 million, an increase of $3.9 million from a $0.9 million loss during the third quarter of 2024

    • Assets under management (“AUM”) of $10.4 billion as of September 30, 2025, an increase of 5.2% from December 31, 2024 and 25% from September 30, 2024

    • Board of Directors declared a $0.106 per share dividend

    NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / November 13, 2025 / Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation (the “Company” or “HKHC”) (OTCID: HKHC) reported financial results for the third quarter of 2025. The Company’s management and advisory fee revenue grew during the quarter and year-to-date period as compared to 2024 resulting from increases in AUM in its separately managed accounts, ETFs, mutual funds and private funds. These increases in AUM across each of the various products and strategies were largely driven by increases in the market value of Texas Pacific Land Corporation (“TPL”) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust during 2024, which have resulted in higher monthly management fees throughout 2025. The Company has also experienced additional net cash inflows into the various products and strategies during 2025 and has increased its customer accounts during the quarter.

    The Company’s operating income for the third quarter of $2.9 million was positively impacted by the increased revenues, which were only partially offset by a variety of higher operating expenses, including higher commissions and higher distribution costs. Advisor only operating income, a non-GAAP measure, was $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $4.0 million from 2024.

    The third quarter of 2025 included $129.4 million of investment income, net from our consolidated investment products, primarily from unrealized gains related to the increase in fair value of a private placement investment that completed an initial public offering.

    The Company experienced unrealized losses on investments of $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, which was primarily the impact of a 12% decline in the fair value of TPL during the quarter. In addition, the Company’s equity losses, net, were $2.0 million from various equity interest holdings. These unrealized losses were partially offset by the unrealized gains of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from its digital asset holdings.

    On November 11, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.106 per share, payable on December 17, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 25, 2025.

    Additional Information about our performance

    The Company consolidates certain private funds in order for the consolidated financial statements to conform with generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the applicable consolidated funds are presented on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. Additionally, an amount that represents the Company’s clients’ interests in these consolidated private funds will be presented as redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The investment income (losses), other income (losses) and the expenses of the consolidated investment products will be presented within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, an amount that represents the net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests as well as the net income (loss) attributable to Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation will be presented on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

    Consolidated Investment Products (“CIPs”) consist of certain private investment funds which are sponsored by the Company. The Company has no right to the CIPs’ assets, other than its direct equity investments in them and investment management and other fees earned from them. The liabilities of the CIPs have no recourse to the Company’s assets beyond the level of its direct investment, therefore the Company bears no other risks associated with the CIPs’ liabilities.

    As indicated in the additional information presented in the tables below, there are several notable presentational differences as a result of the consolidation of the CIPs:

    • Management and advisory fees from CIPs, including incentive fees, are eliminated from consolidated revenues. Accordingly, our presentation without the CIPs reflects an increased revenue growth to $19.6 million, a 31% increase from the third quarter of 2024.

    • The presentation of Operating income without the CIPs includes the revenues to the advisor only and excludes the line item expenses of consolidated investment products. Management views this operating measure as a useful tool because it is prior to the impact of various fair value measurements of investments and digital assets, which can be volatile from quarter to quarter.

    • The equity in earnings of private funds, which results primarily from CIPs, is eliminated from the consolidated presentation as that activity is included within the investment results of the CIPs. Accordingly, our presentation without the CIPs reflects an increased level of equity earnings that presents an increase in the value of our holdings within the CIPs.

    • Stockholders’ equity and net income attributable to Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation are not impacted by the consolidation process.

    • The Statement of Financial Condition without the consolidation of private funds presents lower total assets as a result of excluding the total assets held by the CIPs as well as the associated redeemable noncontrolling interests, which represents our clients’ interests in these funds. A portion of the total assets held by private funds continues to relate to $247.5 million of economic interests held by Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation, which is reflected in Other Investments in the presentation below.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    In discussing financial results, the Company presented tables without the consolidation of certain private funds (also labeled “Advisor only”) which is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We use this non-GAAP financial measure internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including evaluating our overall performance and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe presenting this non-GAAP financial measure provides additional information to facilitate comparison of our historical operating costs and their trends, and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our financial condition and results of operations. We also believe presenting this measure allows investors to view our financial condition and results of operations using the same measure that we use in evaluating our performance and trends.

    Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    This news release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws that are intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. “Forward-looking statements” generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “assumptions,” “target,” “guidance,” “strategy,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projection,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe”, “potential,” or “continue” (or the negative or other derivatives of each of these terms) or similar terminology.

    Forward-looking statements convey our expectations, intentions, or forecasts about future events, circumstances, or results. All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time and many of which are beyond our control. You should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction or guarantee about the future. Actual future objectives, strategies, plans, prospects, performance, conditions, or results may differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. Some of the factors that may cause actual results or other future events or circumstances to differ from those in forward-looking statements are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the Company’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf speaks only as of the date that it was made. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of events, circumstances, or results that arise after the date that the statement was made, except as required by applicable securities laws. You, however, should consult further disclosures (including disclosures of a forward-looking nature) that we may make in any subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
