Terms
Adjusted EBITDA is an internal measure of profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate the performance of our core business across reporting periods. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income excluding (a) interest expense on our outstanding debt, (b) income tax expense, (c) depreciation and amortization expense, (d) equity-based compensation expense, (e) Non-operating gain (loss), net and (f) certain other significant items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance. Adjusted EBITDA also includes fee related performance revenues related to Consolidated Funds and management fees related to Consolidated Funds.
Fee Related Earnings ("FRE") is used to highlight earnings from revenues that are measured and received on a recurring basis. FRE represents net income excluding (a) incentive fees, net of fee related performance revenues, and related compensation, (b) equity-based compensation, (c) interest income and expense, (d) income tax expense, (e) equity in income of investees, (f) non-operating gain (loss), net and (g) certain other significant items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance. FRPR includes incentive fees from Consolidated Funds that are eliminated under GAAP. We believe FRE is useful to investors because it provides additional insight into the operating profitability of our business. FRE is presented before income taxes.
Fee Related Earnings Margin ("FRE Margin") represents the ratio of FRE to total fee related revenues. We believe FRE Margin is useful to investors as it provides the percentage of total fee related revenues represented by FRE.
Fee related management and advisory fees represent the management and advisory fees included in FRE. Fee related management and advisory fees include management and advisory fees earned from Consolidated Funds that are eliminated under GAAP. We believe fee related management and advisory fees is useful to investors because it allows them to analyze the components of FRE.
Fee related compensation and benefits expenses ("FRE Comp") represent the compensation and benefits included in FRE. FRE Comp excludes incentive fee related compensation, equity-based compensation, and non-operating income related compensation. We believe FRE Comp is useful to investors as it aggregates the relevant individual components of compensation and benefits to be subtracted from total fee related revenues in arriving at FRE.
Fee related general, administrative and other expenses ("FRE G&A") represent the general, administrative and other expenses included in FRE. FRE G&A excludes general, administrative and other expenses incurred directly by Consolidated Funds. We believe FRE G&A is useful to investors as it aggregates the relevant individual components of general, administrative and other expenses to be subtracted from total fee related revenues in arriving at FRE.
Fee related performance revenues ("FRPR") are incentive fees expected to be measured and received from certain of our funds on a recurring basis and are not dependent on realization events of the fund's underlying investments. FRPR includes incentive fees earned from Consolidated Funds that are eliminated under GAAP. We believe FRPR is useful to investors because it provides additional insight into our recurring revenues.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we modified our definition of FRE to exclude equity-based compensation and include FRPR. Equity-based compensation is non-cash compensation provided to retain employees and align employee and stockholder interest. It is not directly correlated with our operating results. FRPR is expected to be received on a recurring basis depending upon performance of certain funds that pay incentive fees on a high-water mark basis. We believe that reporting non-GAAP results inclusive of these changes provides a supplemental view of our ongoing performance that is useful and relevant to our investors. As a result of the change, prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the updated presentation.
Non-GAAP earnings per share measures our per-share earnings excluding certain significant items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance and assuming all Class B and Class C units in HLA were exchanged for Class A common stock in HLI. Non-GAAP earnings per share is calculated as adjusted net income divided by adjusted shares outstanding. Adjusted net income is income before taxes fully taxed at our estimated statutory tax rate and excludes any impact of changes in carrying amount of our redeemable non-controlling interest. Adjusted shares outstanding for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2024 are equal to weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted. We believe adjusted net income and non-GAAP earnings per share are useful to investors because they enable them to better evaluate total and per-share operating performance across reporting periods.
Our assets under management ("AUM"), as presented in these materials, comprise the assets associated with our customized separate accounts and specialized funds. AUM does not include the assets associated with our distribution management services. We classify assets as AUM if we have full discretion over the investment decisions in an account. We calculate our AUM as the sum of:
the net asset value of our clients' and funds' underlying investments;
the unfunded commitments to our clients' and funds' underlying investments; and
the amounts authorized for us to invest on behalf of our clients and fund investors but not committed to an underlying investment.
Management fee revenue is based on a variety of factors and is not linearly correlated with AUM. However, we believe AUM is a useful metric for assessing the relative size and scope of our asset management business.
Our assets under advisement ("AUA") comprise assets from clients for which we do not have full discretion to make investments in their account. We generally earn revenue on a fixed fee basis on our AUA client accounts for services including asset allocation, strategic planning, development of investment policies and guidelines, screening and recommending investments, monitoring and reporting on investments and investment manager review and due diligence. Advisory fees vary by client based on the amount of annual commitments, services provided and other factors. Since we earn annual fixed fees from the majority of our AUA clients, the growth in AUA from existing accounts does not have a material impact on our revenues. However, we view AUA growth as a meaningful benefit in terms of the amount of data we are able to collect and the degree of influence we have with fund managers.
Fee-earning assets under management (Fee-earning "AUM" or "FEAUM") is a metric we use to measure the assets from which we earn management fees. Our fee-earning AUM comprise assets in our customized separate accounts and specialized funds from which we derive management fees that are generally derived from applying a certain percentage to the appropriate fee base. We classify customized separate account revenue as management fees if the client is charged an asset-based fee, which includes the majority of our discretionary AUM accounts but also includes certain non-discretionary AUA accounts. Our fee-earning AUM is equal to the amount of capital commitments, net invested capital and net asset value of our customized separate accounts and specialized funds depending on the fee terms. The vast majority of our customized separate accounts and specialized funds earn fees based on commitments or net invested capital, which are not affected by market appreciation or depreciation. Therefore, revenues and fee-earning AUM are not significantly affected by changes in market value. Our calculations of fee-earning AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Our definition of fee-earning AUM is not based on any definition that is set forth in the agreements governing the customized separate accounts or specialized funds that we manage.
Hamilton Lane Incorporated (or "HLI"), a Delaware corporation, was formed for the purpose of completing an initial public offering ("IPO") and related transactions in order to carry on the business of Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C.

The Company consolidates funds ("Consolidated Funds") and general partner entities that are not wholly-owned ("Partnerships") over which it exercises control either by holding majority voting interests or as the primary beneficiary, possessing both decision making authority and the right to receive economic benefits.
