Fink, Chairman and CEO:<br><br>“BlackRock enters 2026 with accelerating momentum across our entire platform, coming off the strongest year and quarter of net inflows in our history. Clients entrusted us with $698 billion of new assets in 2025, powering 9% organic base fee growth. And we ended the year with back-to-back quarters of double-digit organic base fee growth, including 12% in the fourth quarter.<br><br>“2026 will be our first full year as a unified platform with GIP, HPS and Preqin. Around the world, clients are looking to do more across BlackRock. Our pipeline of business has broadened across products and regions, spanning public and private markets mandates, technology and data, and client channels. We’re seeing excellent fundraising activity as we work toward our goal of $400 billion in private markets fundraising by 2030.<br><br>“BlackRock is at the forefront of some of the largest new growth channels across the industry – from private markets to wealth and 401(k), to active ETFs, to private markets data, to digital assets and tokenization. Our belief in our increasing growth and margin trajectory led us to raise our dividend per share by 10% and our level of planned share repurchases.<br><br>“BlackRock is differentiated as a scale operator in public and private markets investing and technology, which is enhancing our positioning with clients worldwide. We’re a leader in public and private markets, and in technology and data. We’re a foundational player in both traditional and decentralized financial markets. Importantly, we bring it all together to deliver BlackRock to our clients in a consistent, unified way. We’ve already begun 2026 with strong momentum, and we’re positioned ahead of big future opportunities to deliver better outcomes for clients and growth for our shareholders.”

• Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, BlackRock reclassified the presentation of the Company's investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue line items to align with the updated presentation of the Company's AUM line items. Such line items have been reclassified for 2024 to conform to this new presentation. See page 11 of Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished on April 11, 2025 for the reclassified presentation of the 2024 investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue line items.
• Amounts include commodity ETFs and ETPs.

Highlights

• Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $861 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily driven by organic base fee growth, the impact of market beta on average AUM, and approximately $230 million of fees related to the HPS Transaction. Securities lending revenue of $174 million increased from $161 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting higher spreads.

Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $232 million from the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by organic base fee growth and the impact of market beta on average AUM. Securities lending revenue of $174 million decreased from $203 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting lower spreads.

• Performance fees increased $303 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting higher revenue from private markets, including the impact of the HPS Transaction, and higher revenue from liquid alternative products.

Performance fees increased $238 million from the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher revenue from liquid alternative and long-only products.

• Technology services and subscription revenue increased $103 million from the fourth quarter of 2024 and $16 million from the third quarter of 2025, reflecting the sustained demand for Aladdin® technology offerings and revenue from the acquisition of Preqin Holding Limited ("Preqin") in March 2025 (the "Preqin Transaction"). Preqin added approximately $65 million to fourth quarter revenue. Technology services and subscription annual contract value (“ACV”)(1) increased 31% from the fourth quarter of 2024 including ACV related to Preqin, and increased 16% excluding ACV related to Preqin.

• See note (4) to the condensed consolidated statements of income and supplemental information on page 14 for more information on ACV.

• Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, BlackRock updated the presentation of the Company's expense line items within the condensed consolidated statements of income to separately present the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item, which was previously disclosed within general and administration expense. Prior periods have been updated to conform to this new presentation.

Highlights

• Employee compensation and benefits expense increased $699 million from the fourth quarter of 2024 and $227 million from the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting the impact of higher operating income and performance fees. Fourth quarter 2025 employee compensation and benefits expense was also impacted by the HPS Transaction, including nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation expense(1).

• Sales, asset and account expense increased $230 million from the fourth quarter of 2024 and $64 million from the third quarter of 2025, driven by higher distribution and servicing costs and direct fund expense, primarily reflecting higher average AUM.

• On December 10, 2025, BlackRock contributed a portion of its stake in Circle Internet Group, Inc. ("Circle") to the BlackRock Charitable Fund, which BlackRock established in 2013 (the “Charitable Contribution”). The Charitable Contribution resulted in an operating expense of $109 million(1), which was offset by a tax benefit of $29 million(1). The Charitable Contribution will add to the long-term funding for BlackRock’s philanthropic grants and programs.

• General and administration expense increased $190 million from the fourth quarter of 2024 and $125 million from the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by the Charitable Contribution and an increase in occupancy and office related expense.

• Change in fair value of contingent consideration(1) increased $483 million from the fourth quarter of 2024 and $362 million from the third quarter of 2025, primarily related to Global Infrastructure Management, LLC ("GIP").

• Amortization and impairment of intangible assets(1) increased $143 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting amortization of intangible assets acquired in the HPS and Preqin Transactions.

• These expenses have been excluded from the Company's "as adjusted" financial results under the expense adjustments for acquisition-related costs and the Charitable Contribution, as applicable. See pages 12 through 14 for the reconciliation to GAAP and notes (1) through (3) for more information on as adjusted items.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (unaudited)

BlackRock reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, management believes evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP financial measures. Adjustments to GAAP financial measures (“non-GAAP adjustments”) include certain items management deems nonrecurring or that occur infrequently, transactions that ultimately will not impact BlackRock’s book value or certain tax items that do not impact cash flow. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to assess ongoing operations and considers them to be helpful, for both management and investors, in evaluating BlackRock’s financial performance over time. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures as a benchmark to compare its performance with other companies and to enhance comparability for the reporting periods presented. Non-GAAP financial measures may pose limitations because they do not include all of BlackRock’s revenue and expense. BlackRock’s management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Computations and reconciliations for all periods are derived from the condensed consolidated statements of income as follows:

(1) Operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted: Management believes operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, are effective indicators of BlackRock’s financial performance over time, and, therefore, provide useful disclosure to investors. Management believes that operating margin, as adjusted, reflects the Company’s long-term ability to manage ongoing costs in relation to its revenues. The Company uses operating margin, as adjusted, to assess the Company’s financial performance, to determine the long-term and annual compensation of the Company’s senior-level employees and to evaluate the Company’s relative performance against industry peers. Furthermore, this metric eliminates margin variability arising from the accounting of revenues and expenses related to distributing different product structures in multiple distribution channels utilized by asset managers.

• Operating income, as adjusted, includes the following non-GAAP expense adjustments:

• Compensation expense related to appreciation (depreciation) on deferred cash compensation plans. The Company excludes compensation expense related to the market valuation changes on certain deferred cash compensation plans, which the Company hedges economically. For these deferred cash compensation plans, the final value of the deferred amount to be distributed to employees in cash upon vesting is determined based on the returns on specified investment funds. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the appreciation (depreciation) of the deferred cash compensation liability in proportion to the vested amount of the award during a respective period, while the net gain (loss) to economically hedge these plans is immediately recognized in nonoperating income (expense), which creates a timing difference impacting net income. This timing difference will reverse and offset to zero over the life of the award at the end of the multi-year vesting period. Management believes excluding market valuation changes related to the deferred cash compensation plans in the calculation of operating income, as adjusted, provides useful disclosure to both management and investors of the Company’s financial performance over time as these amounts are economically hedged, while also increasing comparability with other companies.

• Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs include adjustments related to amortization and noncash impairment of intangible assets, change in fair value of contingent consideration (primarily associated with noncash contingent consideration) incurred in connection with certain acquisitions and other acquisition-related costs, including compensation costs for nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation and general and administration expense primarily related to professional services. Management believes excluding the impact of these expenses when calculating operating income, as adjusted, provides a helpful indication of the Company’s financial performance over time, thereby providing helpful information for both management and investors while also increasing comparability with other companies.

• Charitable Contribution. The Charitable Contribution expense of $109 million has been excluded from operating income, as adjusted, due to its nonrecurring nature.

• Restructuring charge. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a restructuring charge, comprised of severance and compensation expense for accelerated vesting of previously granted deferred compensation awards, in connection with an initiative to modify our organization to fit more closely with strategic priorities. Management believes excluding the impact of this restructuring charge when calculating operating income, as adjusted, is useful to assess the Company’s financial performance and ongoing operations, and enhances comparability among periods presented.

• Revenue used for calculating operating margin, as adjusted, is reduced to exclude all of the Company’s distribution fees, which are recorded as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of income, as well as a portion of investment advisory fees received that is used to pay distribution and servicing costs. For certain products, based on distinct arrangements, distribution fees are collected by the Company and then passed-through to third-party client intermediaries. For other products, investment advisory fees are collected by the Company and a portion is passed-through to third-party client intermediaries. However, in both structures, the third-party client intermediary similarly owns the relationship with the retail client and is responsible for distributing the product and servicing the client. The amount of distribution and investment advisory fees fluctuates each period primarily based on a predetermined percentage of the value of AUM during the period. These fees also vary based on the type of investment product sold and the geographic location where it is sold. In addition, the Company may waive fees on certain products that could result in the reduction of payments to the third-party intermediaries.

(2) Nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI - CIPs, as adjusted: Management believes nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI - CIPs, as adjusted, is an effective measure for reviewing BlackRock’s nonoperating contribution to its results and provides comparability of this information among reporting periods. Nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI - CIPs, as adjusted, excludes the gain (loss) on the economic hedge of certain deferred cash compensation plans. As the gain (loss) on investments and derivatives used to hedge these compensation plans over time substantially offsets the compensation expense related to the market valuation changes on these deferred cash compensation plans, which is included in operating income, GAAP basis, management believes excluding the gain (loss) on the economic hedge of the deferred cash compensation plans when calculating nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI - CIPs, as adjusted, provides a useful measure for both management and investors of BlackRock’s nonoperating results that impact book value.

(3) Net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted:

• Management believes net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, and diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, are useful measures of BlackRock’s profitability and financial performance. Net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, equals net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., GAAP basis, adjusted for certain items management deems nonrecurring or that occur infrequently, transactions that ultimately will not impact BlackRock’s book value or certain tax items that do not impact cash flow.

For each period presented, the non-GAAP adjustments were tax effected at the respective blended rates applicable to the adjustments. The fourth quarter of 2025 included a discrete tax benefit of $29 million recognized in connection with the Charitable Contribution. The discrete tax benefit has been excluded from as adjusted results due to the nonrecurring nature of the Charitable Contribution. Additionally, the amount for income tax matters in 2024 included a discrete tax benefit of $137 million recognized in connection with the reorganization and establishment of a more efficient global intellectual property and technology platform and corporate structure. This discrete tax benefit has been excluded from as adjusted results due to the nonrecurring nature of the intellectual property reorganization. Furthermore, the non-GAAP adjustment in 2025 related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration is primarily not deductible for income tax purposes.

• In addition, beginning in the third quarter of 2025, in connection with the HPS Transaction, the Company updated its definition of net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, and diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, to assume all outstanding Subco Units issued as part of the consideration for the HPS Transaction have been exchanged in accordance with their terms on a one-for-one basis into common stock of BlackRock, as Subco Units will be exchangeable at the option of the holder when exchange rights begin. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interest related to these Subco Units has been included as part of net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted. Management believes that these updated non-GAAP measures are useful indicators of BlackRock’s profitability and enhance comparability among periods presented, and therefore are useful to investors.
• Per share amounts reflect net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

(4) ACV: Management believes ACV is an effective metric for reviewing BlackRock’s technology services and subscription's ongoing contribution to its operating results and provides comparability of this information among reporting periods while also providing a useful supplemental metric for both management and investors of BlackRock’s growth in technology services and subscription revenue over time, as it is linked to the net new business in technology and subscription services. ACV represents forward-looking, annualized estimated value of the recurring subscription fees under client contracts, assuming all client contracts that come up for renewal are renewed, unless we have received a notice of termination, even though such notice may not be effective until a later date. ACV also includes the annualized estimated value of new sales, for existing and new clients, when we execute client contracts, even though the recurring fees may not be effective until a later date and excludes nonrecurring fees such as implementation and consulting fees.
