San Antonio, Texas, August 5, 2026 - Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCTR) (“Victory Capital” or “the Company”) today reported record financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
"The second quarter was a landmark period for Victory Capital, reporting record revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and earnings per share,” said David C. Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We also achieved record total client assets, supported by an all-time high in long-term quarterly gross sales. Notably, we achieved $4.2 billion in positive long-term net flows for the quarter and have positive long-term net flows year to date, through June 30. This reflects the strategic investments we have made, the momentum we have built across our distribution channels, and the strength of our operating platform.
“Investment performance remained excellent during the quarter. As of June 30, 2026, 71%, 68%, 65%, and 81% of our AUM outperformed benchmarks over the respective 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. In addition, 60% of our rated AUM in mutual funds and ETFs was rated four or five stars overall by Morningstar.
“The drivers of our record gross sales and positive net flows this quarter were broad-based. Our international distribution efforts, our U.S. institutional channel, and, within our intermediary channel, our VictoryShares ETF platform each drove meaningful flows, together producing a result that showcases the breadth and depth of our distribution platform.
"We maintained a consistent fee rate and our industry-leading margins for the quarter. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin highlights the durability of our platform and the discipline we apply across every dimension of our business.
"We continued to return capital to shareholders. We returned $138 million through share repurchases of 1.1 million shares of VCTR common stock and dividends paid during the quarter.
“Inorganic growth remains a strategic priority. The integration of Pioneer Investments is now complete, and the full run-rate of net expense synergies has been fully recognized. Our pipeline is full and active, our standards remain high, and we only pursue transactions that make our Company better.
"As always, we continue to focus on serving our clients, which is our top priority."

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Victory Capital uses non-GAAP financial measures referred to as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to measure the operating profitability of the Company. These measures eliminate the impact of one-time acquisition, restructuring and integration costs and demonstrate the ongoing operating earnings metrics of the Company. The Company has included these non-GAAP measures to provide investors with the same financial metrics used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjustments made to GAAP Net Income to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable, are:
Adding back income tax expense;
Adding back interest paid on debt and other financing costs, net of interest income;
Adding back depreciation on property and equipment;
Adding back other business taxes;
Adding back amortization expense on acquisition-related intangible assets;
Adding back share-based compensation expense associated with equity awards in connection with acquisitions and certain one-time performance-based shares;
Adding back direct incremental costs of acquisitions, including restructuring costs;
Adding back debt issuance cost expense;
Adjusted Net Income
Adjustments made to GAAP Net Income to calculate Adjusted Net Income, as applicable, are:
Adding back other business taxes;
Adding back amortization expense on acquisition-related intangible assets;
Adding back share-based compensation expense associated with equity awards in connection with acquisitions and certain one-time performance-based shares;
Adding back direct incremental costs of acquisitions, including restructuring costs;
Adding back debt issuance cost expense;
Subtracting an estimate of income tax expense applied to the sum of the adjustments above.
Tax Benefit of Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
Due to Victory Capital’s acquisitive nature, tax deductions allowed on acquired intangible assets and goodwill provide it with additional significant supplemental economic benefit. The tax benefit of goodwill and intangible assets represent the tax benefits associated with deductions allowed for intangible assets and goodwill generated from prior acquisitions in which the Company received a step-up in basis for tax purposes. Acquired intangible assets and goodwill may be amortized for tax purposes, generally over a 15-year period. The tax benefit from amortization on these assets is included to show the full economic benefit of deductions for all acquired intangible assets with a step-up in tax basis.
