“In terms of a guide, I'll quickly run through it. We expect the effective fee rate to be roughly the same as what it was this quarter we're reporting today in the mid to high 37s, again, very similar to the quarter we're reporting today.”
“I want to go through the quarter guidance, and then I'll talk about the annual as part of that. So on the third quarter guide for our effective fee rate, we're guiding mid to high 37s, so very consistent and stable with the second quarter.”
“No, that's the contingent consideration around specific transactions that we've done. So it's really virtually nothing at this stage. What that doesn't include is some compensation related to transactions, but that's all in our compensation line and all included in our guidance.”
“I will briefly cover our fiscal fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, followed by fiscal first quarter 2026 guidance.”
