Current report
As of September 30, 2025, the book value of our investment in Alight accounted for under the equity method of accounting is$147.4 million. Based on the closing stock price of Alight common shares as of September 30, 2025, the fair value of our investment in Alight was$132.0 million. Though we do not currently believe our investment in Alight is other than temporarily impaired, because the fair value is below the book value of our investment as of September 30, 2025, further declines in fair value of the investment, deterioration in Alight's actual or forecasted results of operations or adverse changes in the U.S. macroeconomic environment could result in an impairment charge in future periods to record our asset at fair value.

We account for our ownership of JANA under the equity method of accounting, and therefore its results do not consolidate into ours. We report our equity in the earnings or loss of JANA on a three-month lag, and accordingly, our net earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes our equity in JANA’s earnings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, and our net earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes our equity in JANA’s earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and for the period from February 21, 2024 through June 30, 2024, respectively.
Current report
JANA's total revenue is primarily attributable to management fees earned from managing investment funds and performance fees earned which are calculated based on investment performance and various factors, including relative benchmarks, hurdles and preferred returns.
Current report
The changes in revenue and operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 relative to the period from February 21, 2024 through June 30, 2024 are not comparable due to the difference in the time periods.

As of June 30, 2025, the book value of our investment in Alight accounted for under the equity method of accounting was $288.2 million, prior to any impairment. Based on the closing stock price of Alight common shares as of June 30, 2025, the fair value of our investment in Alight was $229.1 million. The fair value measurement is considered a level 1 fair value measure. Due to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our ownership interest subsequent to our acquisition paired with the fact that the fair value has been below our book value for an extended period of time, exceeding one year, management determined the decrease in value of our investment in Alight was other-than-temporary as of June 30, 2025. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment in our investment of Alight of $59.1 million which is included in Recognized (losses) gains, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Accounting for Income Taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred taxes, if any, is applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and reflected in the financial statements in the period enacted.

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss ("NOL") and credit carryforwards.

The impact of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred taxes, if any, is applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and reflected in the financial statements in the period enacted.
Previous wording
As of June 30, 2025, we had a net deferred tax asset of $55.0 million, which is primarily attributable to temporary differences for our investments in unconsolidated affiliates held through partnerships. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded an additional valuation allowance of $84.8 million on the Company's federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards, state net operating loss carryforwards, and certain deferred taxes related to our investments. In the first quarter of 2025, it was determined that due to the current market and investee-specific conditions, the ability to utilize the entirety of our deferred tax asset related to investments was less likely than prior periods. One of the factors used in assessing the need for a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets is whether a company is in a three-year cumulative book loss position and for the three years ended December 31, 2024, the Company was in a cumulative book loss position. The Company’s prospective investment strategy, fluctuations in the fair market value of its ownership interests prior to any dispositions and other factors may influence the timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities and their ultimate impact on taxable income or loss, which could have an effect on the recoverability of deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has a federal valuation allowance of $130.8 million representing a full valuation allowance on its federal NOL carryforwards and certain other deferred taxes related to our ownership interests where it is not more likely than not that the tax benefit will be realized. Additionally, a state valuation allowance of $6.9 million has been recorded representing certain state NOLs where it is not more likely than not that the tax benefit of certain state NOLs will be realized before the NOLs in those certain states expire. At this time, we consider it more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income and available excess capital gain from prior year periods that will allow us to realize our remaining deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor the recoverability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and may need to record an additional valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset in future periods.
Current wording
As of September 30, 2025, we had a net deferred tax asset of $50.4 million, which is primarily attributable to temporary differences for our investments in unconsolidated affiliates held through partnerships. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an additional valuation allowance of $99.0 million on the Company's federal NOL carryforwards, state NOL carryforwards, and certain deferred taxes related to basis differences of our investments. In the first quarter of 2025, it was determined that due to the current market and investee-specific conditions, the ability to utilize the entirety of our deferred tax asset related to basis differences in our investments was less likely than prior periods. One of the factors used in assessing the need for a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets is whether a company is in a three-year cumulative book loss position and for the three years ended December 31, 2024, the Company was in a cumulative book loss position. The Company’s prospective investment strategy, fluctuations in the fair market value of its ownership interests prior to any dispositions and other factors may influence the timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities and their ultimate impact on taxable income or loss, which could have an effect on the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

Additionally, a state valuation allowance of $6.6 million has been recorded representing certain state NOLs where it is not more likely than not that the tax benefit of certain state NOLs will be realized before the NOLs in those certain states expire. At this time, we consider it more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income and available excess capital gain from prior year periods that will allow us to realize our remaining deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor the recoverability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and may need to record an additional valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset in future periods.
