Sprott Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

TORONTO, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sprott Inc. (NYSE/TSX: SII) (“Sprott” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Management commentary

“Sprott’s Assets Under Management (“AUM”) were $40 billion as at June 30, 2025, up 14% from $35.1 billion as at March 31, 2025 and up 27% from $31.5 billion as at December 31, 2024,” said Whitney George, Chief Executive Officer of Sprott. “During the quarter we benefited from market value appreciation across our product suite, driven by rising precious metals and uranium prices and strong performance in our managed equities segment. We also reported $1.2 billion in net sales during the quarter, concentrated largely in our physical trusts.”

“We are pleased with how our balanced product offerings have performed so far this year, providing clients both safe-haven and growth opportunities. Our AUM is currently at an all-time high and investor allocations to our precious metals and critical materials strategies are steadily increasing with $1.6 billion in net sales during the first half of 2025. Our financial performance has reflected the growth in our asset base as well as our commitment to carefully managing expenses while continuing to invest in growing the business.”

Key AUM highlights
¹

AUM was $40 billion as at June 30, 2025, up 14% from $35.1 billion as at March 31, 2025 and up 27% from $31.5 billion as at December 31, 2024. On a three and six months ended basis, we benefited from positive market value appreciation across the majority of our fund products and positive net inflows to our physical trusts.

Key revenue highlights

Management fees were $44.4 million for the quarter, up 16% from $38.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $84.4 million on a year-to-date basis, up 13% from $74.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Carried interest and performance fees were $14.8 million in the quarter and on a year-to-date basis, up from $0.7 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. Net fees were $53.2 million for the quarter, up 54% from $34.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $88.9 million on a year-to-date basis, up 32% from $67.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our revenue performance in the quarter and on a six months ended basis was primarily due to higher average AUM on positive market value appreciation and inflows to our precious metals physical trusts. We also benefited from carried interest crystallization on the wind down of a legacy fixed-term exploration LP and performance fee crystallization in an active mining equities fund, both of which were housed in our managed equities segment.
Commission revenues were $1.7 million for the quarter, down 48% from $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $2 million on a year-to-date basis, down 54% from $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net commissions were $0.8 million for the quarter, down 49% from $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $1 million on a year-to-date basis, down 53% from $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Commission revenue decreased in the quarter and on a six months ended basis primarily due to last year’s higher commissions earned on the physical copper trust offering and last year’s higher ATM activity in our physical uranium trust.
Finance income was $1.2 million for the quarter, down 70% from $4.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $2.6 million on a year-to-date basis, down 56% from $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Finance income decreased in the quarter and on a six months ended basis mainly due to last year’s syndication activity in the first half of the year in our private strategies segment.

Key expense highlights

Net compensation expense was $17.8 million for the quarter, up 5% from $16.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $35.3 million on a year-to-date basis, up 7% from $33.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the quarter and on a six months ended basis was primarily due to higher incentive compensation on increased net fee generation. Our net compensation ratio was 43% in the quarter (June 30, 2024 – 44%) and 45% on a year-to-date basis (June 30, 2024 – 45%).
Stock-based compensation was $18.6 million for the quarter, up $14.3 million from $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $24.8 million on a year-to-date basis, up $15.8 million from $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the quarter and on a year-to-date basis was primarily due to a change in accounting requirements as we moved our employees to a new cash-settled stock-based compensation plan this year. Cash-settled stock plans require the use of mark-to-market and graded vest accounting under IFRS 2, which creates the dual impact of: (1) accelerating the amount of vesting that occurs each period; and (2) adding market volatility to each vested amount, in our case, at a time when our stock has appreciated 54% in the quarter and 64% on a year-to-date basis. In contrast, last year, we had an equity-settled program that required each vest to be valued at the original grant date fair value on a constant basis over the entire amortization period.

SG&A expense was $4.8 million for the quarter, down 4% from $5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $9 million on a year-to-date basis, down 3% from $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in the quarter and on a six months ended basis was primarily due to lower technology costs.

Earnings summary

Net income for the quarter was $13.5 million ($0.52 per share), up 1% from $13.4 million ($0.53 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and was $25.5 million ($0.99 per share) on a year-to-date basis, up 2% from $24.9 million ($0.98 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our flat net income performance was primarily due to a change in accounting requirements brought on by our new cash-settled stock plan that took effect this year, largely offsetting much of the net income we otherwise generated on market appreciation and flows into our physical trusts and carried interest and performance fee crystallizations in our managed equities segment. Cash-settled stock plans like the one we implemented this year require the use of mark-to-market and graded vest accounting under IFRS 2, which creates the dual impact of: (1) accelerating the amount of vesting that occurs each period; and (2) adding market volatility to each vested amount, in our case, at a time when our stock has appreciated 54% in the quarter and 64% on a year-to-date basis. In contrast, last year we had an equity-settled stock program that required each vest to be valued at the original grant date fair value on a constant basis over the entire amortization period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $25.5 million ($0.99 per share) for the quarter, up 14% from $22.4 million ($0.88 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $47.4 million ($1.83 per share) on a year-to-date basis, up 12% from $42.1 million ($1.66 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter and on a year-to-date basis benefited from higher average AUM on market value appreciation and inflows to our precious metals physical trusts. However, offsetting these positives was our finance income being down due to last year’s higher syndication fees and our net commissions also being down due to last year’s physical copper trust IPO and higher ATM activity in our physical uranium trust.

Subsequent events

Subsequent to quarter-end, as at August 1, 2025, AUM was $40.1 billion, up slightly from $40 billion as at June 30, 2025.
On August 5, 2025, the Sprott Board of Directors announced a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share.

(1) Prior period net revenues includes revenues from non-reportable segments: Q4 2024 – $406; Q3 2024 – $497; Q2 2024 – $650; Q1 2024 – $465; Q4 2023 – $749; and Q3 2023 – $1,517.
(2) Includes fund expenses and commission expense – external. Together, these amounts are included in “Fund expenses” on the income statement.
(3) Includes direct payouts, internal carried interest and performance fee payouts and commission payouts. Together, these amounts are included in “Compensation” on the income statement.
(4) The increase in the quarter and on a year-to-date basis was primarily due to the Company transitioning its employees, effective January 1, 2025, to a “cash-settled” stock-based compensation plan. This required mark-to-market accounting under IFRS 2 which led to market value fluctuations that were driven by NYSE:SII being up 54% in the quarter and 64% on a year-to-date basis. The Q2 balance also includes the effect of the new program’s requirement to use graded vesting amortization.
(5) Effective Q1 2025, we changed the name of one of our key non-IFRS measures: “adjusted base EBITDA” to “adjusted EBITDA”. This was made to simplify wording and there was no impact to its calculation.

This press release includes financial terms (including AUM, net commissions, net fees, expenses, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and net compensation) that the Company utilizes to assess the financial performance of its business that are not measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These non-IFRS measures should not be considered alternatives to performance measures determined in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Our key performance indicators and non-IFRS and other financial measures are discussed below. For quantitative reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures please see schedule 2 and schedule 3 of the “Supplemental financial information” section of this press release.

Net fees

Net fees are calculated as: (1) total management fees net of fund expense recoveries, fund expenses and direct payouts and (2) carried interest and performance fees, net of their related payouts. Net fees is a key revenue indicator as it represents revenue contributions after directly associated costs in managing our AUM.

Net commissions

Net commissions are calculated as total commissions, net of commission expenses. Net commissions primarily arise from the purchase and sale of critical materials in our exchange listed products segment.

Net revenues

Net revenues are calculated as the total of: (1) net fees, excluding carried interest and performance fees, net of their related payouts; (2) net commissions; (3) finance income; and (4) co-investment income.

Net compensation & net compensation ratio

Net compensation is calculated as total compensation expense before: (1) commission expenses paid to employees; (2) direct payouts to employees; (3) carried interest and performance fee payouts to employees; (4) severance and new hire accruals; and (5) impact of market value fluctuations and graded vesting amortization on cash-settled equity plans. Net compensation ratio is calculated as net compensation divided by net revenues.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin

Effective in the first quarter of the year, we changed the name of one of our key non-IFRS measures: “adjusted base EBITDA” to “adjusted EBITDA”. The change was made to simplify wording and there was no impact to the underlying calculation.

EBITDA in its most basic form is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA (or adjustments thereto) is a measure commonly used in the investment industry by management, investors and investment analysts in understanding and comparing results by factoring out the impact of different financing methods, capital structures, amortization techniques and income tax rates between companies in the same industry. While other companies, investors or investment analysts may not utilize the same method of calculating EBITDA (or adjustments thereto), the Company believes its adjusted EBITDA metric results in a better comparison of the Company’s underlying operations against its peers and a better indicator of recurring results from operations as compared to other non-IFRS financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA margins are a key indicator of a company’s profitability on a per dollar of revenue basis, and as such, is commonly used in the financial services sector by analysts, investors and management.
