Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter 2026: Management Update To Our Stockholders Jason Serrano, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The second quarter marked another significant step forward in Adamas' evolution. Over the past eighteen months, we have built a larger and more diversified investment platform, strengthened our earnings power, sharpened our competitive edge with the addition of Constructive, and preserved the financial flexibility to keep growing across market environments. This quarter's results, with sustained growth in earnings, book value, and our investment portfolio, reflect the efficacy and durability of our business model. As we move into the second half of the year, we believe that continued execution of our strategy will build on this momentum, driving further shareholder value and reinforcing the intrinsic value of the Company." _____________________________ (1) Represents a non-GAAP financial measure.
