Current report

Our Strategic Holdings business is currently comprised of the firm’s ownership in the businesses we acquired through our participation in our core private equity strategy. In our core private equity strategy, our objective is to acquire and manage controlling interests in operating companies, which we intend to hold over a longer period of time and that we believe have a lower anticipated risk profile than our investments in businesses acquired through our traditional private equity strategy. As of March 31, 2025, our Strategic Holdings segment consisted of our ownership stakes in 18 companies that we acquired through our core private equity strategy.

Current report

The table below presents information as of March 31, 2025, relating to our current credit investment vehicles reported in our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line for which we have the ability to earn carried interest. This data does not reflect acquisitions or disposals of investments, changes in investment values, or distributions occurring after March 31, 2025.

Current report

As previously disclosed in the Annual Report, KKR had arrangements in place to increase its ownership interest in certain core private equity businesses within its Strategic Holdings segment. The acquisition of these stakes, which were in 1-800 Contacts Inc., USI, Inc., and Heartland Dental, LLC, were all completed prior to the filing of this report.

Current report

The United States, during the first quarter of 2025, experienced a contraction in economic growth while also continuing to experience persistent inflation in excess of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s target rate. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board decided to maintain the target range unchanged at 4.25% to 4.50% for the federal funds rate noting inflation, including potential increases in inflation relating to trade and tariff policies, as a consideration in deciding to leave the target range unchanged.

Current report

GDP growth in the Eurozone during the first quarter of 2025 was moderately positive. In Europe during the first quarter 2025, the European Central Bank lowered rates for the sixth time since June 2024, lowering the deposit rate to 2.5% as Eurozone inflation slowed as compared to the prior quarter albeit remaining above the European Central Bank’s 2% inflation target.

Current report

Beginning in March 2025 and continuing through the date of the filing of this report, the United States and countries around the world have experienced elevated levels of market volatility and uncertainty driven principally by geopolitical and global trade concerns, including, in particular, the announcements of the imposition of tariffs by the United States on certain of its trading partners in April 2025 and certain retaliation by such trade partners. This volatility and uncertainty adds to the various risks and uncertainties in the business environment in which we operate and may have various impacts, including on the valuations of certain of our and our investment vehicles' investments, the pace and volume of our capital market transactions, deployments, and realizations, and our fundraising activities.

Current report

The net gains from investment activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were comprised of net realized gains of $70.2 million and net unrealized gains of $1,016.4 million.

Current report

The net gains from investment activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were comprised of net realized losses of $(190.9) million and net unrealized gains of $829.1 million.

Current report

Net investment income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to (i) increased average assets under management due to growth in assets as a result of the cumulative impact of Global Atlantic's institutional market and individual market channels sales growth in the current and preceding quarters, and (ii) higher average portfolio yields.

Current report

The components of net other investment gains (losses) were as follows:

Current report

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was a net unfavorable assumption review impact of $42.3 million on income before taxes, which was primarily due to a change in the activation assumption related to certain benefit riders on fixed-indexed annuities.

Current report

Amortization of policy acquisition costs increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the remeasurement of the policy liabilities associated with certain cost-of-reinsurance asset intangibles during the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in an increase in the cost-of-reinsurance asset and a decrease in amortization.

Current report

General, administrative and other decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to decreased equity-based compensation expenses, partially offset by increased technology costs.

Current report

Net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was a net loss as compared to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primary due to the higher level of insurance investment-related losses in the current period, which were partially offset by a higher level of asset management related fees and investment income as well as net investment income from our insurance operations.

Current report

KKR & Co. Inc. Stockholders’ Equity - Common Stock increased from December 31, 2024 primarily due to unrealized gains on available-for sale-securities from Global Atlantic that are recorded in other comprehensive income, which were partially offset by (i) a net loss attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. common stockholders during the first three months of 2025 and (ii) dividends to common stockholders.

Current report

We expect an increase in management fees earned in our financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2025 due to the commencement of management fees from North America Fund XIV. This increase will be partially offset by a reduction in management fees from North America Fund XIII as a result of paying management fees based on remaining cost rather than capital committed as well as a step-down in the management fee rate. The net increase in management fees is expected to be approximately $20 million in our financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2025.

Current report

The increase in fee related performance revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a higher level of performance revenues being earned from FSK in our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line in the current period.

Current report

Realized performance income in our Private Equity business line for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted primarily of (i) performance income from our core investment vehicles, (ii) realized proceeds from the sale of our investment in Citation Topco Limited held by both European Fund V and Global Impact Fund, and (iii) incentive fees from certain levered multi-asset investment vehicles.

Previous report

The table below presents information as of September 30, 2024, relating to our current credit and other vehicles reported in our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line for which we have the ability to earn carried interest. This data does not reflect acquisitions or disposals of investments, changes in investment values, or distributions occurring after September 30, 2024.

Previous report

Prior to the creation of the Strategic Holdings segment, effective January 2, 2024, the periodic financial operating results of the firm's participation in the core private equity strategy were reported as part of this Principal Activities business line within the Asset Management segment. Starting with the first quarter of 2024 , those financial operating results are not reflected in the Asset Management segment. See "Strategic Holdings" for further information regarding our participation in the core private equity strategy.

Previous report

Starting with the first quarter of 2024, we are reporting a new third segment named Strategic Holdings. Our Strategic Holdings segment is currently comprised of the firm’s ownership in the businesses we acquired through our participation in our core private equity strategy. Our core private equity strategy includes third-party capital in investment funds alongside our firm’s capital. Our Asset Management segment continues to manage the investment funds that invest in our core private equity strategy, the financial results of which are not included in our Strategic Holdings segment.

Previous report

In connection with building and scaling of the core private equity strategy on KKR’s balance sheet and the acquisition of all of the remaining equity interests in Global Atlantic on January 2, 2024, KKR reevaluated the manner in which it makes operational and resource deployment decisions and assesses the overall performance of KKR's business. Effective with the first quarter of 2024, the items detailed below have changed with respect to the preparation of the reports used by KKR's chief operating decision makers. As a result, KKR has modified the presentation of its segment financial information with retrospective application to all prior periods presented.

Previous report

The most significant changes between KKR's current segment presentation and its previous segment presentation reported prior to the first quarter of 2024, are as follows:

Previous report

•Creating a new business segment, Strategic Holdings - The new segment is currently comprised of KKR’s participation in its core private equity strategy. Our participation in our core private equity has scaled into a business KKR now evaluates separately from its Asset Management segment. Additionally, KKR may also acquire other long-term assets that are not part of the core private equity strategy for this segment. As of the first quarter of 2024, KKR’s participation in its core private equity strategy no longer is reported as part of the Asset Management segment. The Asset Management segment continues to represent KKR's business separate from its insurance operations and continues to reflect how the chief operating decision makers allocate resources and assess performance in the asset management business, which includes operating collaboratively across its business lines, with predominantly a single expense pool. Effective as of the first quarter of 2024, the results of our Strategic Holdings segment includes a management fee and performance fee that is paid to our Asset Management segment for providing advisory services rather than allocating the costs borne by our Asset Management segment to support our Strategic Holdings segment. The historical amounts presented herein do not include any management or performance fees since the governing agreement was not in place prior to the first quarter of 2024.

(infrastructure: telecommunications infrastructure sector), BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBIO) and Gamma Biosciences L.P. (healthcare sector). Partially offsetting these realized gains were realized losses on our investments in Unzer GmbH (financial services sector) and Qoo10 SG (technology sector).

Previous report

The net gains from investment activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were comprised of net realized losses of $(69.0) million and net unrealized gains of $1,537.2 million.

Previous report

The following table reflects the impact on net income before taxes and to insurance segment adjusted operating earnings from Global Atlantic’s assumption review:

Previous report

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the net favorable impact on income before taxes was primarily due to (i) higher assumed mortality rates for guaranteed income riders on income fixed-indexed annuities, and (ii) higher assumed interest rate margins on certain interest-sensitive life products due to higher reinvestment rates and flat crediting rates. These favorable impacts were partially offset by (i) lower assumed surrender rates on interest-sensitive life products without secondary guarantees, (ii) an increase in the option budget assumptions for certain fixed-indexed annuities and interest sensitive life products, and (iii) higher surrender rate assumption for certain assumed flow annuity business.

Previous report

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the net unfavorable impact on income before taxes was primarily due to (i) an increase in option cost assumptions for indexed products (net of the impact of reducing caps), (ii) an increase in mortality assumptions related to certain annuity products, and (iii) a decrease in expected surrenders on income annuities and life insurance products. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by a favorable impact of lower expected surrenders on accumulation annuities.

Previous report

The assumption review impact on adjustments to derive insurance segment adjusted operating earnings primarily reflect the net impact of assumptions changes related to market risk benefits and other policy liabilities measured at fair value.

Previous report

Net investment income increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to (i) increased average assets under management due to growth in assets in Global Atlantic's institutional market channel as a result of new reinsurance transactions and individual market channel sales and (ii) growth in portfolio yields. The growth in portfolio yields during the three months ended September 30, 2024, was offset in part due to holding higher levels of lower yielding assets, such as cash and corporate fixed maturity securities acquired as part of recent reinsurance transactions, pending deployment into higher yielding asset classes.

Previous report

The decrease in the fair value of embedded derivatives on funds withheld at interest receivable was primarily due to a decrease in market interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to an increase in market interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Previous report

The components of net other investment (losses) gains were as follows:

Previous report

The increase in net other investment gains for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to net other investment losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were primarily due to (i) an increase in unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities classified as trading primarily as a result of the growth in the trading portfolio and a decrease in market interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to an increase in market interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2023, and (ii) an increase in unrealized gains on investments accounted under a fair-value option and equity investments.

Previous report

Interest expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in total debt outstanding with higher coupon rates, and the impact of new debt issuances in the prior quarter.

Previous report

General, administrative and other expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in employee compensation expenses, offset in part by a decrease in professional and consulting fees.

Previous report

Net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to a higher level of net policy benefits and claims expense recognized by Global Atlantic and higher compensation expense on the carry pool allocation from our asset management operations, partially offset by a higher level of fees and capital allocation-based income from our asset management operations and higher investment-related income recognized by Global Atlantic, as described above.

Previous report

The increase in management fees was primarily attributable to (i) management fees earned on new capital raised over the past twelve months at Ascendant Fund and our private equity and infrastructure K-Series vehicles and (ii) management fees commencing at Global Infrastructure Investors V in the current period. The increase was partially offset by (i) a lower level of management fees from Americas Fund XII and Asian Fund III due to a step-down in each fund's management fee rate and a decrease in invested capital over the past twelve months and (ii) a decrease in management fees earned from Global Infrastructure Investors IV as a result of entering its post-investment period, and now earns fees based on invested capital rather than capital committed.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

Net premiums increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to (i) an increase in premiums assumed from flow reinsurance transactions with life contingencies or morbidity risk during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and (ii) new preneed premiums originated from a new distribution partner. The increase was partially offset by higher retrocessions to third party reinsurers during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The initial premiums on assumed reinsurance were offset by a comparable increase in policy reserves reported within net policy benefits and claims (as discussed below under “Expenses—Net policy benefits and claims”).

The decrease in the fair value of embedded derivatives on funds withheld at interest payable was driven primarily by the change in fair value of the underlying investments in the funds withheld payable at interest portfolio, which is primarily comprised of fixed maturity securities (designated as trading for accounting purposes), mortgage and other loan receivables and other investments. The underlying investments in the funds withheld at interest payable portfolio increased in value during the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in market interest rates, as compared to a decrease in value in the three months ended September 30, 2023, due to an increase in market interest rates.

Total Fees and Other for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily as a result of an increase in transaction fees and management fees, which were partially offset by an increase in fee credits.

For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affected our transaction fees during the period, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results."

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

Management fees due from consolidated investment funds and other vehicles are eliminated upon consolidation under GAAP. However, because these amounts are funded by, and earned from, noncontrolling interests, upon consolidation under GAAP, KKR's allocated share of the net income from the consolidated investment funds and other vehicles is increased by the amount of fees that are eliminated. Accordingly, net income (loss) attributable to KKR would be unchanged if such investment funds and other vehicles were not consolidated. For a more detailed discussion on the factors that affect our management fees during the period, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results."

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

Fee credits increased compared to the prior period as a result of a higher level of transaction fees in our Private Equity, Real Assets, and Credit and Liquid Strategies business lines in the current period. Fee credits owed to consolidated investment funds and other vehicles are eliminated upon consolidation under GAAP. However, because these amounts are owed to noncontrolling interests, upon consolidation under GAAP, KKR's allocated share of the net income from the consolidated investment funds is decreased by the amount of fee credits that are eliminated. Accordingly, net income (loss) attributable to KKR would be unchanged if such investment funds and other vehicles were not consolidated. Transaction and monitoring fees earned from KKR portfolio companies are not eliminated upon consolidation because those fees are earned from companies which are not consolidated. Furthermore, transaction fees earned in our capital markets business are not shared with fund investors. Accordingly, certain transaction fees are reflected in our revenues without a corresponding fee credit.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was positive primarily due to the net appreciation of the underlying investments in many of our unconsolidated carry-earning investment funds, most notably Americas Fund XII, North America Fund XIII, and Global Infrastructure Investors IV. Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was positive primarily due to the net appreciation of the underlying investments in many of our unconsolidated carry-earning investment funds, most notably Americas Fund XII, Asian Fund III, and Asian Fund IV.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

KKR generally calculates the carried interest that would be due to KKR for each investment fund, pursuant to the fund agreements, as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of the reporting date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. Since the fair value of the underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to the amounts recorded as carried interest to reflect either (a) positive performance, resulting in an increase in the carried interest allocated to the general partner or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to KKR to be less than the amount previously recognized, resulting in a negative adjustment to carried interest allocated to the general partner. In each case, it is necessary to calculate the carried interest on cumulative results compared to the carried interest recorded to date and to make the required positive or negative adjustments.

The decrease in the fair value of foreign exchange and other derivative contracts was primarily driven by a combination of an increase in the notional amount of foreign exchange derivatives and a weakening of the U.S. dollar (primarily against the euro and British Pound) during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

The increase in the fair value of equity index options was primarily driven by the performance of the indexes upon which these options are based. Global Atlantic purchases equity index options to hedge the market risk of embedded derivatives in indexed universal life and fixed-indexed annuity products (the change in which is accounted for in net policy benefits and claims). The majority of Global Atlantic's equity index options are based on the S&P 500 Index, which increased during both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Income tax expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily driven by the lower level of income before taxes attributable to common stockholders. For a discussion of factors that impacted KKR's tax provision, see Note 18 "Income Taxes" in our financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Our Private Equity, Real Assets and Credit and Liquid Strategies business lines earn transaction and monitoring fees from portfolio companies, and under the terms of the management agreements with certain of our investment funds, we are required to share all or a portion of such fees with our fund investors. For most of our investment funds, transaction and monitoring fees are credited against fund management fees up to 100% of the amount of the transaction and monitoring fees attributable to that investment fund, which results in a decrease in our transaction and monitoring fees. Our Capital Markets business line earns transaction fees, which are generally not shared with fund investors.

Realized performance income in our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line for the three months ended September 30, 2023 consisted primarily of performance fees earned from certain leveraged credit investment funds.

The most significant increases in value across our Real Assets portfolio were increases in CyrusOne Inc. (infrastructure: telecommunications infrastructure sector), Atlantic Aviation FBO Inc., and Albioma SA (infrastructure: energy and energy transition sector). These increases in value across our real assets portfolio were partially offset by decreases in the value of certain other investments, the most significant of which were Rocky Mountain Midstream LLC (infrastructure: midstream sector) and Namsan Square (real estate). The increased valuations across our real assets portfolio, in the aggregate, generally related to individual company or asset performance. The decreased valuations across our real assets portfolio, in the aggregate, generally related to an unfavorable business outlook.

The increase in transaction and monitoring fees, net is primarily due to a higher level of transaction fees earned in our Capital Markets. The increase in capital markets transaction fees was primarily due to an increase in the number of capital markets transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, reflecting increased levels of capital markets issuance activity across the global equity and leveraged loan markets. Overall, we completed 285 capital markets transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of which 43 represented equity offerings and 242 represented debt offerings, as compared to 162 transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, of which 32 represented equity offerings and 130 represented debt offerings. We earn fees in connection with underwriting, syndication and other capital markets services. While each of the capital markets transactions that we undertake in this business line is separately negotiated, our fee rates are generally higher with respect to underwriting or syndicating equity offerings than with respect to debt offerings, and the amount of fees that we earn for similar transactions generally correlates with overall transaction sizes.

Our capital markets fees are generated in connection with activity involving our private equity, real assets and credit funds as well as from third-party companies. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, approximately 15% of our transaction fees in our Capital Markets business line were earned from unaffiliated third parties. Our transaction fees are comprised of fees earned from North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, approximately 42% of our transaction fees were generated outside of North America as compared to approximately 46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our Capital Markets business line is dependent on the overall capital markets environment, which is influenced by equity prices, credit spreads, and volatility. Our Capital Markets business line does not generate monitoring fees.
