Resolute Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

NEW YORK, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. (“Resolute Holdings”) (Nasdaq: RHLD), an operating management company responsible for providing management services to CompoSecure Holdings, L.L.C. (“CompoSecure Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CompoSecure, Inc. (“CompoSecure”) (Nasdaq: CMPO), today reported financial results for its fiscal second quarter ending June 30, 2025. Resolute Holdings reported second quarter earnings per share attributable to common stockholders of ($0.07) and Non-GAAP Fee-Related Earnings per share of $0.08.

“I am pleased with our performance in the second quarter. We are seeing strong early results from the implementation of the operating system at CompoSecure, and our activity levels evaluating new acquisition opportunities remain high. Our platform combines proven operating capabilities with a permanent capital base, which we believe positions us as a differentiated buyer and long-term owner of market leading businesses. We reiterate our expectation for limited profitability for the full year” said Tom Knott, Resolute Holdings’ Chief Executive Officer.

Dave Cote, Resolute Holdings’ Executive Chairman added “I remain pleased with the progress we are making to improve operations, drive organic growth, and build a high-performance culture at CompoSecure. While still early in the process, I believe the second quarter’s performance is a good indicator of what’s possible. We are committed to making the necessary investments in the business to ensure it can reach its full potential over time. Beyond the specific operating system work at CompoSecure, Tom and I remain focused diligently evaluating the growing list of acquisition opportunities we are seeing against our core investment criteria.”

As a result of the spin-off from CompoSecure and execution of the Management Agreement with CompoSecure Holdings, Resolute Holdings is required to consolidate the financial results of CompoSecure Holdings in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This presentation of financial results does not represent the underlying economics or the positive attributes of Resolute Holdings’ standalone business model, which consist of recurring, long-duration management fees and a relatively fixed expense base. The results of the Resolute Holdings standalone business and associated Non-GAAP Fee-Related Earnings calculation are included below to provide a clear picture of the economic performance of the business directly attributable to shareholders of RHLD. This release includes such results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as well as certain Non-GAAP measures, including Fee-Related Earnings.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and that may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Resolute Holdings believes Fee-Related Earnings and Fee-Related Earnings per share are useful to investors in evaluating Resolute Holdings’ financial performance. Resolute Holdings believes that these non-GAAP financial measures depict the performance of the business and underlying economics attributable to Resolute Holdings common stockholders. Fee-Related Earnings and Fee-Related Earnings per share should not be considered as measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and the items excluded from Fee-Related Earnings and Fee-Related Earnings per share are significant components in understanding and assessing Resolute Holdings’ financial performance. Accordingly, these key business metrics have limitations as an analytical tool. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net income per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
