(“we,” “our,” “GEG,” “Great Elm,” or “the Company”), (NASDAQ: GEG), an alternative asset manager, today announced financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2025. Management Commentary Jason Reese, Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “Fiscal 2025 was the strongest operating year in our history, with outstanding performance across all areas of our business. We meaningfully increased fee revenue, driven by substantial growth in both management and incentive fees from GECC. GECC delivered exceptional performance, resulting in an increased quarterly distribution and significant growth in Fee-Paying Assets Under Management. In our real estate business, the February launch of Monomoy Construction Services added an accretive, new revenue stream and rounded out our fully integrated real estate platform. Additionally, our CoreWeave-related investment generated strong year-to-date returns, underscoring our ability to leverage our balance sheet and strategic relationships to source unique, high-value investment opportunities.” “In July, we announced a transformational partnership with Kennedy Lewis Investment Management, a leading institutional alternative investment firm with over $30 billion in assets under management, including a public REIT. Kennedy Lewis’s investment in both Great Elm common stock and Monomoy REIT reflects deep alignment with our strategy, confidence in our growth trajectory, and a shared conviction in the value we are creating for shareholders. This transaction provides up to $150 million of leverageable capital to Monomoy REIT, accelerating the expansion of our real estate platform. It marks a major milestone for us, enabling us to grow our end-to-end real estate solutions from acquisition through development and management. “Finally, we recently announced another milestone investment from Woodstead and the appointment of Booker Smith to our Board of Directors. This transaction not only strengthens our balance sheet with $9 million of new growth capital, but also aligns us with another highly regarded institutional partner whose expertise spans our core verticals. Combined with the $15 million equity investment from Booker Smith in GECC, these transactions reinforce investor confidence in our platform and expand our resources to grow assets under management and fee revenue. Looking ahead, we are well-positioned to capitalize on attractive opportunities across all of our businesses and deliver sustained, long-term value for our shareholders.” Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights Full Fiscal Year 2025 Highlights GEG Managed Vehicle Highlights Strategic Partnership with Kennedy Lewis Investment Management In July 2025, Great Elm announced a transformational strategic partnership with KLIM, an institutional alternative investment firm with over $30 billion in assets under management, including a publicly traded REIT focused on land banking (Millrose Properties, Inc.). Under the terms of the transaction, KLIM purchased 4.9% of Great Elm’s common stock at a price of $2.11 per share and is providing up to $150 million in leverageable capital to Monomoy REIT that will support continued growth across Great Elm’s real estate platform.

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made and represent Great Elm’s assumptions and expectations in light of currently available information. These statements involve risks, variables and uncertainties, and Great Elm’s actual performance results may differ from those projected, and any such differences may be material. For information on certain factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from Great Elm’s expectations, please see Great Elm’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC, and in public disclosures, of financial measures that are not in accordance with US GAAP, such as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is derived from methodologies other than in accordance with US GAAP. Great Elm believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure for investors to use in evaluating Great Elm’s businesses. In addition, Great Elm’s management reviews Adjusted EBITDA as they evaluate acquisition opportunities. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it either in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analyzing Great Elm’s results as reported under US GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures reported by Great Elm may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Included in the financial tables below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measure, net income from continuing operations. Endnotes 1 Amount excludes Consolidated Funds; book value per share as of June 30, 2025, pro forma for the July 2025 KLIM transaction and August 2025 Woodstead transaction, was $2.58, before transaction fees and expenses. 2 Assumes distributions reinvested, net of founder’s class fees and expenses.
