("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, 2026.  Management Commentary Jason Reese, Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, "Fiscal 2026 was a year of meaningful progress across Great Elm's platform, although that progress was overshadowed by significant unrealized losses primarily driven by our investments in GECC and GECC-related vehicles. These mark-to-market changes had a significant impact on our financial results and book value. Importantly, we exited the year with improving momentum across several of our businesses. We completed record capital raises of nearly $400 million across GEG and our managed vehicles and expanded our fee-paying assets under management. Our real estate platform was a particular area of strength. Monomoy REIT achieved record acquisition activity as we continued to scale our industrial outdoor storage (IOS) portfolio, supported by our strategic partnership with Kennedy Lewis. Monomoy BTS advanced its build-to-suit strategy, profitably selling its second and third design-build properties, advancing development of its fourth project, and acquiring its fifth property in July. While Monomoy Construction Services had a slower than expected ramp, we are encouraged by its growing pipeline, anchored by core tenants and new expanding relationships. Together, these businesses provide an integrated platform spanning construction, development, acquisitions and asset management, with significant opportunity to further scale. We also strengthened our alternative credit platform during the year. Despite portfolio setbacks early in the year and challenging market sentiment toward private credit, GECC maintained a disciplined investment approach, enhanced portfolio quality, and took important steps to strengthen its capital structure, including redeeming debt and extending the maturity of its revolving credit facility.  These actions leave GECC better positioned to pursue attractive investment opportunities and generate long-term, fee-related earnings. Our CoreWeave-related equity investment also continued to generate significant value. Since April 1, we have received approximately $3 million of distributions, bringing our total distributions since inception to $8.6 million, compared with our original $5.0 million investment, while retaining meaningful upside potential at current trading levels. Finally, we repurchased shares of our common stock for the eleventh consecutive quarter, reflecting our conviction in the intrinsic value of Great Elm, with nearly $24 million of capacity remaining under the repurchase program. While we are not satisfied with the reported loss for fiscal 2026, we enter fiscal 2027 with growing fee-paying assets, substantial liquidity and improving momentum across our operating businesses. We remain focused on disciplined capital deployment, expanding fee-related earnings and creating long-term value for our shareholders."

Great Elm believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure for investors to use in evaluating Great Elm's businesses.
