2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The condensed consolidated financial statements set forth herein include the accounts of CNS and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results have been made. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC. The Company’s significant accounting policies, which have been consistently applied, are summarized in its Form 10-K.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. This new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The standard clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is (1) within the scope of Topic 718 or (2) not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. The guidance in ASU 2024-01 applies to all entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. This new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The following table summarizes the statements of financial condition attributable to the Company's consolidated VIEs:

(1) The assets may only be used to settle obligations of each VIE and the liabilities are the sole obligation of each VIE, for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.

5. Fair Value

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement specifies a hierarchy of valuation classifications based on whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used in each valuation classification are observable or unobservable. These classifications are summarized in three broad levels:

•Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable.

•Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the investments.

The following tables present fair value measurements:

Equity investments at fair value classified as Level 2 included common stocks, Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. (CNSREIT) and preferred securities, for which quoted prices in active markets are not available. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company deconsolidated CNSREIT and elected the fair value option to align the measurement of the seed investment and the related gains and losses with other seed investments. The Company's ownership interest was 49.4% at September 30, 2024. The fair value of this seed investment is based on the monthly published net asset value (NAV), which is an observable transaction price, however, shares are not actively traded as subscription and redemption activity happens monthly. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in gain (loss) from investments—net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Distributions from this seed investment are recorded in interest and dividend income in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations when earned. The unrealized gain on the seed investment in CNSREIT was $0.4 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Equity investments at fair value classified as Level 3 were comprised of limited partnership interests in joint ventures that hold investments in private real estate.

Trading investments classified as Level 2 were comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. Fair values were generally determined using third-party pricing services. The pricing services may utilize evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information.

Investments measured at NAV were comprised of certain investments measured at fair value using NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient including limited partnership interests in private real estate funds. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have the ability to redeem its interests in the majority of these investments.

Investments measured at NAV as a practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The amounts presented in the above tables are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Total return swap contracts classified as Level 2 were valued based on the underlying futures contracts or equity indices.

Foreign currency exchange contracts classified as Level 2 were valued based on the prevailing forward exchange rate, which is an input that is observable in active markets.

The following table summarizes the changes in Level 3 investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Unrealized and realized gains (losses), if any, in the above table were recorded in gain (loss) from investments—net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Valuation Techniques

In certain instances, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from an orderly transaction between market participants provided by reputable broker-dealers or independent pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, independent pricing services may use information with respect to transactions in such investments, broker quotes, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. As part of its independent price verification process, the Company generally performs reviews of valuations provided by broker-dealers or independent pricing services. Investments in funds are valued at their closing price or NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient.

In the absence of observable market prices, the Company values its investments using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. For some investments, little market activity may exist; management's determination of fair value is then based on the best information available in the circumstances, and may incorporate management's own assumptions and involve a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration a combination of internal and external factors. Such investments are valued no less than quarterly, taking into consideration any changes in key inputs and changes in economic and other relevant conditions, and valuation models are updated accordingly. The Company has established a valuation committee, comprised of senior members from various departments within the Company, to administer, implement and oversee the valuation policies and procedures (the Valuation Committee). Additionally, the Company has retained an independent valuation services firm to assist in the determination of the fair value of certain private real estate investments.

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs approved by the Valuation Committee for Level 3 investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Changes in the significant unobservable inputs in the above tables may result in a materially higher or lower fair value measurement.

6. Derivatives

The following tables summarize the notional amount and fair value of outstanding derivative financial instruments, none of which were designated in a formal hedging relationship:

(1) The fair value of derivative financial instruments is recorded in other assets and other liabilities and accrued expenses on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

The Company's corporate derivatives included:

•Total return swaps which are utilized to economically hedge a portion of the market risk of certain seed investments and to gain exposure for the purpose of establishing a performance track record; and

•Forward foreign exchange contracts which are utilized to economically hedge currency exposure arising from certain non-U.S. dollar investment advisory fees.

Collateral pledged for swap contracts totaled $1.5 million and $4.5 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The following table summarizes net gains (losses) from derivative financial instruments:

(1)Gains and losses on total return swaps are included in gain (loss) from investments—net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses on forward foreign exchange contracts are included in foreign currency gain (loss)—net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the total weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents determined using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are comprised of dilutive potential shares from restricted stock unit awards and are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The following table reconciles income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

8. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes included U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes. A reconciliation of the Company’s statutory federal income tax rate to the effective income tax rate is summarized in the following table:

9. Related Party Transactions

The Company is an investment adviser to, and has administration agreements with, Company-sponsored funds and investment products for which certain employees are officers and/or directors.

The following table summarizes revenue earned from these affiliated funds:

Included in accounts receivable at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are receivables from Company-sponsored funds, of $37.2 million and $32.5 million, respectively. Included in accounts payable at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are payables to Company-sponsored funds of $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Included in other assets at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is an advance to CNSREIT of $8.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively. CNSREIT will reimburse the Company ratably over a 60-month period commencing at the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the month that CNSREIT's NAV is at least $1.0 billion.

See discussion of commitments to Company-sponsored vehicles in Note 11.

10. Credit Agreement

On January 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (the Credit Agreement) providing for a $100.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on January 20, 2026. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either, (i) in respect of Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), a rate equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect for such period plus an applicable rate as determined according to a performance pricing grid and, (ii) in respect of Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), a rate equal to a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable rate as determined according to a performance pricing grid. The Company is also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee determined according to a performance pricing grid and based on the actual daily unused amount of the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants, which are customary for facilities of this type, including with respect to leverage and interest coverage, limitations on priority indebtedness, asset dispositions and fundamental corporate changes. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

To date, the Company has not drawn upon the credit facility.
