Filing evidence summary

Mixed evidenceCoverage 4/5 core metrics

Flagged areas: Dilution.

Backward-looking filed evidence under visible rules - not a rating, forecast or investment advice. Missing data is never scored.

Evidence signals

  • 1 filing risk check flagged

    Flagged areas: Dilution.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Revenue expanded

    Latest reported annual revenue changed +3.2% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Operating margin improved

    Operating margin changed +4.2 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $19M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2025-12-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Fair value · 2,042 characters as filed

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding certain fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy for measuring fair value, as follows: Level 1 quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable Level 3 significant unobservable inputs where there is little or no market activity Our equity interests in private companies without readily determinable fair values are excluded from the recurring fair value table shown below because we have elected to apply the measurement alternative for those investments. The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of the dates indicated, with the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Investments Measured at NAV (1) Total As of March 31, 2026: Equity investments $ 10,599 $ 151 $ $ $ 10,750 Private investment funds 4,834 4,834 Total assets measured at fair value $ 10,599 $ 151 $ $ 4,834 $ 15,584 As of December 31, 2025: Equity investments $ 17,731 $ 156 $ $ $ 17,887 Private investment funds 3,546 3,546 Total assets measured at fair value $ 17,731 $ 156 $ $ 3,546 $ 21,433 (1) Comprised of certain investments measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient.

Goodwill and intangibles · 1,443 characters as filed

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired assets over the fair value of the underlying liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Changes in goodwill were as follows (in thousands): Balance at: Trust Segment Advisory Segment Total December 31, 2025 $ 16,401 $ 23,100 $ 39,501 March 31, 2026 $ 16,401 $ 23,100 $ 39,501 Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually, or between annual assessments if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not result in the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We completed our annual goodwill impairment assessment during the third quarter of 2025 and determined that no impairment loss was required. No goodwill impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or March 31, 2025. Other Intangible Assets Our intangible assets represent the acquisition date fair value of acquired client relationships, trade names, non-compete agreements and internally developed software and are reflected net of amortization. In valuing these assets, we made significant estimates regarding their useful lives, growth rates and potential attrition. We periodically review intangible assets for events or circumstances that would indicate impairment. No intangible asset impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or March 31, 2025.

Revenue recognition · 5,503 characters as filed

"REVENUE Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when the performance obligation (the investment management and advisory or trust services provided to the client) defined by the investment advisory or sub-advisory agreement is satisfied. For each performance obligation, we determine at contract inception whether the revenue satisfies over time or at a point in time. We derive our revenues from investment advisory fees, trust fees and other sources of revenues such as gains and losses from our seed money investments into new investment strategies. The ""Other, net revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are the unrealized gains and losses on our seed money investments, and our seed money investments are included in ""Investments, at fair value"" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advisory and trust fees are calculated based on a percentage of AUM or AUA, as applicable, and the performance obligation is realized over the current calendar quarter. Once clients receive our investment advisory services we have an enforceable right to payment. Advisory Fee Revenues Our advisory fees are generated by Westwood Management for managing client accounts under investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Advisory fees are typically calculated based on a percentage of AUM and AUA and are paid in accordance with the terms of the agreements.
