TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 2025--
CI Financial Corp. ("CI") (TSX: CIX) today released financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Financial highlights
First quarter net loss attributable to shareholders was $8.5 million compared to a net loss of $405.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding non-operating items, adjusted net income attributable to shareholders(1) was $140.7 million in the fourth quarter, down 8.6% from $153.9 million in the previous quarter.
First quarter total net revenues were $787.7 million, up from $677.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding non-operating items, adjusted total net revenues(1) were $792.4 million, down 0.9% from $799.5 million. U.S. wealth management revenues increased due to acquisitions during the quarter, which were partially offset by lower asset management fees. Asset management fees were higher in the fourth quarter due to performance fees, which are typically recorded in the fourth quarter.
First quarter total expenses decreased to $764.3 million from $1,046.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding non-operating items, adjusted total expenses(1) were $549.7 million, up 2.9% from $534.0 million in the previous quarter, primarily due to higher SG&A expenses as a result of acquisitions, and increased depreciation and other amortization.
Corient acquisitions
During the first quarter, Corient completed the acquisitions of two U.S. registered investment advisor businesses -- the multi-family office of Geller & Co. of New York, and Rootstock Investment Management, LLC of Pennsylvania -- adding approximately US$11 billion in client assets.
Capital allocation
In the first quarter of 2025, CI paid $28.8 million in dividends at a rate of $0.20 per share. CI also paid a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share on April 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2025.
In March, CI announced a debenture offering with a principal amount of $500 million maturing on April 3, 2028. The offering closed on April 1, 2025.
Mubadala Capital transaction
As previously announced, CI has entered into a definitive agreement with an affiliate of Mubadala Capital to take CI private by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Arrangement"), which was overwhelmingly approved by CI shareholders on February 12, 2025, and approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) on February 18, 2025. Completion of the Arrangement remains subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. All regulatory approval requests have been submitted and are proceeding in the normal course. CI expects that the transaction will close in the third quarter of 2025.
As a result of the pending transaction, CI will not be holding a conference call to discuss its earnings.
Annual meeting
Given the pending closing of the transaction, CI has obtained an exemption from the Toronto Stock Exchange's requirement to hold its annual meeting of shareholders on or before June 30, 2025. CI does not expect to hold another annual meeting of shareholders prior to the closing of the Arrangement.
