- Cash flow: Operating cash inflow $576.3M; financing outflow $283.9M mainly for dividends and share repurchases; dividends paid $2.60/share in 2025
- Outlook/risk: Continued fee unpredictability due to transaction completion uncertainties; Board authorized additional $300M share repurchase; ongoing liquidity supported by $509.4M cash and credit facilities totaling $50M
