Earnings Call Q1 2026

May 5, 2026 - AI Summary

Strong Q1 earnings momentum; key per-share metrics up ~20–23% YoY - Fee-related EPS (FRE EPS) $1.13 (+23% YoY); total operating earnings $1.47 (+18% YoY); adjusted net income $1.39/share (+20% YoY)—described as among KKR’s highest ever. - Management fees $1.2B (+30% YoY); excluding “catch-up” fees, growth was just north of 20%. - FRE margin rose slightly QoQ to about 69% (Mar 31). - Embedded gains increased to $18.3B (comprised of gross carry + balance sheet gains), +11% YoY, still “elevated” despite monetizations—supports long-run upside.
Monetization and investment income are very healthy (despite market volatility) - Monetization activity ~$880M (+50% YoY); realized carried interest $720M (+120% YoY). - Examples of exits/realizations cited: OneStream (4.5x cost), CoolIT (~15x cost), sale of two 2021 investments (~2x infra and ~3x traditional PE), and Hyundai Marine Solution secondary at 7+ x. - Management emphasized embedded-gain “timing” rather than lack of value—i.e., when to monetize depends on market/exit windows (IPO vs strategic buyers).
Capital raising robust in Q1; management expects some slowdown but remains confident - $28B of new capital in Q1; demand said to be broad across asset classes/geographies. - Credit was a bright spot: $15B raised; driven by asset-based finance momentum ($90B+ AUM in that area). - Wealth: $4B raised; redemptions ~$250M; wealth AUM 38B+. - Guidance-style expectation: management expects a Q2 slowdown (citing past tariff-related pattern), but believes longer-term fundraising remains strong—implying FRE growth assumptions are still supported.
