Strong Revenue Growth
Total revenue grew 34.6% year-over-year to $59.4M in Q1 2026 from $44.1M, driven by Life Solutions ($50.6M) and asset management fees ($8.5M).
Profitability Expansion (Adjusted and GAAP)
Adjusted net income rose 16.6% to $20.1M (Q1 2026 vs $17.3M). Adjusted EBITDA grew 33.3% to $32.7M with a 55% margin; GAAP net income attributable to Abacus grew 59% to $7.3M ($0.07 per diluted share).
Operating Cash Flow Turnaround
Generated $91.7M in operating cash flow in Q1 2026 versus negative $61.6M in Q1 2025—a year-over-year swing of more than $153M—driven by policy cash flows, fund wind-up and operating leverage.
Fundraising and Pipeline Momentum
Raised $288M into longevity funds in Q1 (after $275M in Q4). Reviewed ~9,000 qualified policies in Q1 (vs ~11,000 across all of 2025); new fund vintages have attracted nearly $1B in investor capital since inception.
Strong Portfolio Performance and KPIs
Average realized gain of 26% for the quarter (exceeding 20% target), annualized portfolio turnover 1.9x (in target range 1.5x–2x), weighted average life expectancy of seasoned assets 46 months and weighted average insured age 88 years.
Successful LMA Income II Fund Outcome
LMA Income II (≈$115M AUM) reached end of initial term and returned capital to all investors 100% on time; ~1/3 extended and ~1/3 reinvested—demonstrating investor confidence and reducing consolidated fund reporting obligations.
Balance Sheet and Capital Flexibility
Reported cash $37.2M, balance sheet policy assets $392.8M. Reported long-term debt reduced to ≈$330M (reflecting removal of ~$76.7M in fund-level consolidation). Adjusted ROE 19% and adjusted ROIC 17%, both improved versus prior year; recourse debt-to-EBITDA ≈2x with capacity to ~4x.
Strategic Growth Initiatives
Progressing distribution alliance with Manning & Napier (expect early results in Q2) and targeting a second securitization in late Q2/early Q3 to recycle capital and diversify funding sources.
