Note 1. Description of Business

Description of Business

On October 20, 2021, P10 Holdings, Inc. ("P10 Holdings"), in connection with its Initial Public Offering ("IPO"), completed a reorganization and restructure. In connection with the reorganization, P10, Inc.

On September 30, 2021, the Company completed acquisitions of Bonaccord and Hark. Bonaccord is an alternative asset manager focusing on acquiring minority equity interests in alternative asset management companies focused on private market strategies which may include private equity, private credit, real estate, and real asset strategies. Hark is engaged in the business of making loans to portfolio companies that are owned or controlled by financial sponsors, such as private equity funds or venture capital funds, and which do not meet traditional direct lending underwriting criteria but where the repayment of the loan by the portfolio company is guaranteed by its financial sponsor.

In June 2022, the Company formed P10 Advisors, a fully consolidated subsidiary, to manage investment opportunities that are sourced across the P10 platform but do not fit within an existing investment mandate.

On October 13, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of WTI. WTI provides senior secured financing to early-stage and emerging stage life sciences and technology companies. WTI is a registered investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Simultaneously with the acquisition of WTI, the Company completed a restructuring of P10 Intermediate and subsidiaries to LLC entities that are considered disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. This allowed the WTI sellers to obtain a partnership interest in P10 Intermediate and all of its subsidiaries. As a result of the acquisition, the WTI sellers obtained 3,916,666 membership units of P10 Intermediate, which can be exchanged into 3,916,666 shares of P10 Class A common stock, following applicable restrictive periods.

The results of WTI’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements effective October 13, 2022. The Company reports noncontrolling interest related to the partnership interests which are owned by the WTI sellers. This is recorded as noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncontrolling interest is allocated a share of income or loss in the respective consolidated subsidiaries in proportion to their relative ownership interest. Additionally, the Company makes periodic distributions to the WTI sellers for tax related and other agreed upon expenses as disclosed in the fifth amended and restated limited liability agreement of P10 Intermediate Holdings LLC.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments so that the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable and prudent. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company is deemed to have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2023.

Certain entities in which the Company holds an interest are investment companies that follow FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies and reflect their investments at estimated fair value. Accordingly, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments in such entities retains the specialized accounting treatment.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company performs the variable interest analysis for all entities in which it has a potential variable interest. If the Company has a variable interest in the entity and the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we will also analyze whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of this entity and if consolidation is required.

Generally, VIEs are entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties, or whose equity holders, as a group, lack one or more of the following characteristics: (a) direct or indirect ability to make decisions, (b) obligation to absorb expected losses or (c) right to receive expected residual returns. A VIE must be evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively to determine the primary beneficiary, which is the reporting entity that has (a) the power to direct activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, dollar amounts stated in thousands)

 

obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

To determine a VIE's primary beneficiary, we perform a qualitative assessment to determine which party, if any, has the power to direct activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses and/or receive its benefits. This assessment involves identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and determining whether we, or another party, has the power to direct those activities. When evaluating whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we perform a qualitative analysis that considers the design of the VIE, the nature of our involvement and the variable interests held by other parties. See Note 7 for further information.

The Company has determined that certain of its subsidiaries are VIEs, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entities, because it has the power to direct activities of the entities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has a controlling financial interest in each entity. Accordingly, the Company consolidates these entities, which includes P10 Intermediate, Holdco, RCP 2, RCP 3, TrueBridge, Bonaccord, Hark, and WTI. The assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are presented on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 7 for more information on both consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs.

Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are assessed for consolidation under the voting interest model. Under the voting interest model, the Company consolidates those entities it controls through a majority voting interest or other means. P10 Holdings, Five Points, P10 Advisors, and ECG are concluded to be consolidated subsidiaries of P10 under the voting interest model.

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made within the Consolidated Financial Statements to conform prior periods with current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, cash equivalents include money market funds of $5.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains its cash balances at various financial institutions among multiple accounts, which may periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. The Company's credit risk in the event of failure of these financial institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors the financial institutions credit worthiness in conjunction with balances on deposit to minimize risk. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was primarily cash that is restricted due to certain deposits being held for customers.

Accounts Receivable and Due from Related Parties

Accounts receivable is equal to contractual amounts reduced for allowances, if applicable. The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been established as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. If accounts are subsequently determined to be uncollectible, they will be expensed

(Unaudited, dollar amounts stated in thousands)

 

in the period that determination is made. Management fees are collected on a quarterly basis. Certain subsidiaries management fee contracts are collected at the beginning of the quarter, while others are collected in arrears. The management fees reflected in accounts receivable at period end are those that are collected in arrears.

Due from related parties represents receivables from the Funds for reimbursable expenses. Additionally, fees owed to the Company for the advisory agreement entered into upon the closing of the acquisitions of ECG and ECP ("Advisory Agreement") where ECG provides advisory services to Enhanced Permanent Capital, LLC ("Enhanced PC") are reflected in due from related parties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts are expected to be fully collectible.

Note Receivable

Note receivable is mostly related to contractual amounts owed from a signed, secured promissory note with BCP Partners Holdings, LP ("BCP"). In addition to contractual amounts, borrowers are obligated to pay interest on outstanding amounts. The Company considers the note receivable to be fully collectible; no allowance for doubtful accounts has been established as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. If accounts are subsequently determined to be uncollectible, they will be expensed in the period that determination is made.

Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

For equity investments in entities that we do not control, but over which we exercise significant influence, we use the equity method of accounting. The equity method investments are initially recorded at cost, and their carrying amount is adjusted for the Company’s share in the earnings or losses of each investee, and for distributions received. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.

For certain entities in which the Company does not have significant influence and fair value is not readily determinable, we value these investments under the measurement alternative. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, Financial Instruments, requires equity securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. However, the guidance allows for a measurement alternative, which is to record the investments at cost, less impairment, if any, and subsequently adjust for observable price changes of identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter, using the straight-line method. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of the property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The estimated useful lives of the various assets are as follows:

 

Computers and purchased software

 

 

 

3 - 5 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

 

 

7 - 10 years

 

Long-lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets including property and equipment, lease right-of-use assets, and definite lived intangibles are evaluated for impairment under FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of long-lived assets are determined to not be recoverable if the undiscounted estimated future net operating cash flows directly related to the asset or asset group, including any disposal value, is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If the carrying value of an asset is determined to not be recoverable, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value on the measurement date. Fair value is based on the best information available, including prices for similar assets and estimated discounted cash flows.

Leases

 

The Company recognizes a lease liability and right-of-use asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for contracts that it determines are leases or contain a lease. The Company’s leases primarily consist of operating leases for various office spaces. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. The Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease right-of-use assets include initial direct costs incurred by the Company and are presented net of deferred rent, lease incentives and certain other existing lease liabilities. Absent an implicit interest rate in the lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the effects of collateralization, based on the information available at commencement in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and the Company would account for this when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, upon amendments or other events, the Company may be required to remeasure our lease liability and right-of-use asset.

The Company does not recognize a lease liability or right-of-use asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets for short-term leases. Instead, the Company recognizes short-term lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. When determining whether a lease qualifies as a short-term lease, the Company evaluates the lease term and the purchase option in the same manner as all other leases.

Revenue Share and Repurchase Arrangement

The Company recognizes an accrued contingent liability and contingent payments to customers asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for an agreement between ECG and a third party. The agreement requires ECG to share in certain revenues earned with the third party and also includes an option for the third party to sell back the revenue share to ECG at a set multiple. Additionally, ECG holds the option to buy back 50% of the revenue share at a set multiple. The options to repurchase the revenue share are not exercisable until July of 2025. The Company believes it is probable that the third party will exercise its option to sell back the revenue share and has recognized a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has also recognized a contingent payment to customers associated with the agreement and will amortize the asset against revenue over the the contractual term of the management contract. The amortization is reported in management and advisory fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company will reassess at each reporting period. Refer to Note 14 for further information.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the cost of the acquired business over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired, less the liabilities assumed. As of March 31, 2023, goodwill recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets relates to the acquisitions of RCP 2, RCP 3, Five Points, TrueBridge, Enhanced, Bonaccord, Hark, and WTI. As of March 31, 2023, the intangible assets are comprised of indefinite-lived intangible assets and finite-lived intangible assets related to the acquisitions of RCP 2, RCP 3, Five Points, TrueBridge, Enhanced, Bonaccord, Hark, and WTI.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized. Finite-lived technology is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 4 years. Finite-lived management and advisory contracts, which relate to acquired separate accounts and funds and investor/customer relationships with a specified termination date, are amortized in line with contractual revenue to be received, which range between 7 and 16 years. Certain of our trade names are considered to have finite-lives. Finite-lived trade names are amortized over 10 years in line with the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to occur.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually as of September 30 utilizing a qualitative or quantitative approach and more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The impairment testing for goodwill under the qualitative approach is based first on a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than the respective carrying value. The reporting unit is the reporting level for testing the impairment of goodwill. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less

10


P10, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, dollar amounts stated in thousands)

 

than its carrying value, then the Company will determine the fair value of the reporting unit and record an impairment charge for the difference between fair value and carrying value (not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill).

Contingent Consideration

 

Contingent consideration is initially measured at fair value on the date of the acquisition. The liabilities are remeasured at fair value on each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reflected in operating expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2023, contingent consideration recorded relates to the acquisitions of Hark and Bonaccord on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accrued Compensation and Benefits

Accrued compensation and benefits consists of employee salaries, bonuses, benefits, and acquisition-related earnouts (contingent on employment) that has not yet been paid. The acquisition-related earnout contingent on employment is a product of the acquisition of WTI. The sellers and eligible employees of WTI are eligible to earn up to $70.0 million contingent upon meeting certain EBITDA related hurdles and continued employment. Upon the achievement of $20.0 million, $22.5 million, and $25.0 million of EBITDA, $35.0 million, $17.5 million, and $17.5 million are earned, respectively. The earnout period is eligible through December 31, 2027 with the potential to extend an additional two years. Refer to Note 14 for further information.

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred which are directly related to the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method and are presented as a reduction to the carrying value of the associated debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As these costs are amortized, they are included in interest expense, net within our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest ("NCI") reflect the portion of income or loss and the corresponding equity attributable to third-party equity holders and employees in certain consolidated subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by the Company. Noncontrolling interest is presented as a separate component in our consolidated statements of income to clearly distinguish between our interests and the economic interest of third parties in those entities. Net income attributable to P10, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income, is presented net of the portion of net income attributable to holders of non-controlling interest. NCI is allocated a share of income or loss in the respective consolidated subsidiaries in proportion to their relative ownership interest.

Treasury Stock

 

The Company records common stock purchased for treasury at cost. At the date of subsequent reissuance, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such stock using the average cost method.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between independent and knowledgeable parties who are willing and able to transact for an asset or liability at the measurement date. We use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value and then we rank the estimated values based on the reliability of the inputs used following the fair value hierarchy set forth by the FASB.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we used the following valuation techniques to measure fair value for assets and there were no changes to these methodologies during the periods presented:

Level 1—Assets were valued using the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual security was traded.

11


P10, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, dollar amounts stated in thousands)

 

Level 2—Assets were valued using quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker dealer quotations, and other methods by which all significant inputs were observable at the measurement date.

Level 3—Assets were valued using unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists as reported by the respective institutions at the measurement date.

The carrying values of financial instruments comprising cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable, accounts receivable and due from related parties approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the credit facilities approximate carrying value based on the interest rates which approximate current market rates. The Company has a contingent consideration liability related to the acquisitions of Hark and Bonaccord that is measured at fair value and is remeasured on a recurring basis. See Note 11 for additional information.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when, or as, the Company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. While the determination of who the customer is in a contractual arrangement will be made on a contract-by-contract basis, the customer will generally be the investment fund for the Company’s significant management and advisory contracts.

Management and Advisory Fees

 

The Company earns management fees for asset management services provided to the Funds where the Company has discretion over investment decisions. The Company primarily earns fees for advisory services provided to clients where the Company does not have discretion over investment decisions. Management and advisory fees received in advance reflects the amount of fees that have been received prior to the period the fees are earned. These fees are recorded as deferred revenues on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For asset management and advisory services, the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations over time as the services are rendered, since the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided as the Company performs the service. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled based on the terms of the arrangement. For certain funds, management fees are initially calculated based on committed capital during the investment period and on net invested capital through the remainder of the fund’s term. Additionally, the management fee may step down for certain funds depending on the contractual arrangement. Certain management fees are also calculated on capital deployed. Advisory services are generally based upon fixed amounts and billed quarterly. Other advisory services include transaction and management fees associated with managing the origination and ongoing compliance of certain investments.

Other Revenue

Other revenue on our Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily consists of subscriptions, consulting agreements, interest income, and referral fees. The subscription and consulting agreements typically have renewable one-year lives, and revenue is recognized ratably over the current term of the subscription or the agreement. If subscriptions or fees have been paid in advance, these fees are recorded as deferred revenues on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Referral fee revenue is recognized upon closing of certain opportunities.

Income Taxes

 

Current income tax expense represents our estimated taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized.

12


P10, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, dollar amounts stated in thousands)

 

Uncertain tax positions are recognized only when we believe it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination by the taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

We file various federal and state and local tax returns based on federal and state local consolidation and stand-alone tax rules as applicable.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares. Diluted EPS includes the determinants of basic EPS and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. See Note 17 for additional information.

The denominator in the computation of diluted EPS is impacted by additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued. Potential shares of common stock that may be issued by the Company include shares of common stock that may be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options as well as the vesting of restricted stock units. Also included in the diluted EPS denominator are the units of P10 Intermediate owned by the sellers of WTI, assuming the option to exchange the units for shares of Class A common stock of the Company is exercised in full. Under the treasury stock method, the unexercised options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed proceeds are then used to purchase shares of common stock at the average market price during the period.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

Stock-based compensation relates to grants for shares of P10 awarded to our employees through stock options as well as RSUs awarded to employees and RSAs issued to non-employee directors as compensation for service on the Company's board. Stock compensation expense for RSAs and certain RSUs, where vesting occurs after a service period is recorded ratably over the vesting period at the fair market value on the grant date. Certain acquisition-related RSUs vest after meeting certain performance metrics. For these, the Company uses the tranche method for RSU's deemed probable of vesting. The Company evaluates the probability of vesting at each reporting period. Unvested units are remeasured quarterly against performance metrics as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and expense is recognized over the expected vesting period. Refer to Note 16 for further discussion. Stock option compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair-value of the award, which is determined using the Black Scholes option valuation model and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award, generally five years. The share price used in the Black Scholes model is based on the trading price of our shares on the public markets. Expected life is based on the vesting period and expiration date of the option. Stock price volatility is estimated based on a group of similar publicly traded companies determined to be most reflective of the expected volatility of the Company due to the nature of operations of these entities. The risk-free rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is based on a $0.03 per share quarterly dividend. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Segment Reporting

 

According to ASC 280, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker(s) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates our business as a single operating segment, which is how our chief operating decision makers (our Co-Chief Executive Officers) evaluate financial performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources.

Business Acquisitions

 

In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), the Company identifies a business to have three key elements; inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. In addition, all the inputs and processes that a seller uses in operating a set of assets and activities are not required if market participants can acquire the set of assets and activities and continue to produce outputs. In addition, the Company also performs a screen test to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets is not a business. If the set of assets and activities is not considered a business, it is accounted for as an asset acquisition using a cost accumulation model. In the cost accumulation model, the cost of the acquisition, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values.

The Company includes the results of operations of acquired businesses beginning on the respective acquisition dates. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to its identifiable assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values using the acquisition method. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. The excess value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired over the purchase price of an acquired business is recorded as a bargain purchase gain. The Company uses all available information to estimate fair values of identifiable intangible assets and property acquired. In making these determinations, the Company may engage an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist with the valuation of certain intangible assets, notes payable, and tax amortization benefits.

The consideration for certain of our acquisitions may include liability classified contingent consideration, which is determined based on formulas stated in the applicable purchase agreements. The amount to be paid under these arrangements is based on certain financial performance measures subsequent to the acquisitions. The contingent consideration included in the purchase price is measured at fair value on the date of the acquisition. The liabilities are remeasured at fair value on each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reflected in operating expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For business acquisitions, the Company recognizes the fair value of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets, and estimated contingent consideration at the acquisition date as part of purchase price. This fair value measurement is based on unobservable (Level 3) inputs.

Dividends

Dividends are reflected in the consolidated financial statements when declared.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Recently Adopted

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 provides amendments to ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which replaces the incurred loss impairment model with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. CECL requires a company to estimate lifetime expected credit losses based on relevant information about historical events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance must be applied using the modified retrospective adoption method on January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

On October 28, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which amends ASC 805 to “require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination.” Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes such items at fair value on the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The guidance had no effect on the consolidated financial statements but will be considered for future acquisitions.

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On June 30, 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions ("ASU 2022-03"). The amendments in this update affect all entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to a contractual sale restriction. The amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We are evaluating the effects of these amendments on our financial reporting.

Note 3. Acquisitions

Acquisition of WTI

On October 13, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of WTI for a total consideration of $146.0 million and an aggregate of 3,916,666 membership units of P10 Intermediate which can be exchanged on a one-for-one basis into shares of P10 Class A common stock, subject to certain conditions pursuant to the Exchange Agreement entered into on August 25, 2022. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805.

The Company exercised the accordion feature on the Credit Facility to complete the acquisition of WTI. The $125 million available on the accordion was split into $87.5 million of term loan and $37.5 million of revolver. The Company drew the $87.5 million of term loan and $6.0 million of the available revolver to complete the acquisition and financed the remainder with cash on hand.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred a total of $3.2 million of acquisition-related expenses. Total acquisition-related expenses were $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

The acquisition date fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including intangible assets acquired and related weighted average expected lives are provisional and subject to revision within one year of the acquisition date. As such, our estimates of fair values are pending finalization, which may result in adjustments to goodwill.

Goodwill

The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition includes the expected benefits that management believes will result from the acquisition, including the Company’s build out of its investment product offering. Approximately $87.9 million of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. To the extent there are payments on EBITDA-related earnouts as discsused in Note 14, those amounts would be amortizable for tax purposes at such time.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The fair value of management and advisory contracts acquired were estimated using the excess earnings method. Significant inputs to the valuation model include existing revenue, estimates of expenses and contributory asset charges, the economic life of the contracts and a discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital.

The fair value of trade names acquired were estimated using the relief from royalty method. Significant inputs to the valuation model include estimates of existing and future revenue, estimated royalty rate, economic life and a discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital.

The management and advisory contracts and trade names have a finite useful life. The carrying value of the management fund and advisory contracts and trade names will be amortized in line with the pattern in which the economic benefits arise and are reviewed at least annually for indicators of impairment in value that is other than temporary.

Note 5. Strategic Alliance Expense

In connection with the Bonaccord acquisition, Bonaccord entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement ("SAA") with a third-party investor. This SAA provides the third-party the right to receive 15% of the net management fee earnings, which includes the management fees minus applicable expenses, for Fund I and subsequent funds, paid quarterly, in exchange for funding certain amounts of capital commitments to the fund. Net management fee earnings the third-party has the right to receive is based on the total capital committed.

Within 60 days following the final closing of the next fund, Bonaccord Fund II ("Fund II"), the third-party has the opportunity to acquire, at the price at the time of the original acquisition, equity interests in Bonaccord based on the amount of commitment made. For each $5.0 million, up to a maximum of $250.0 million in irrevocable capital commitments to Fund II, the third-party can acquire 10 basis points up to a maximum of 5% equity in Bonaccord. In addition, net management fee earnings would increase by the same percentage, retroactive to the date of the first close in Fund II. The maximum commitment requirement has been met as of March 31, 2023. The Company believes it's probable that the third-party will exercise the option to acquire equity in Bonaccord and has begun to accrue an additional 5% of net management fee earnings. If executed, the purchase price shall be reduced by the amount of management fee distributions which the third-party would have been paid as of the initial closing of Fund II. Similar terms apply for Fund III with the exception that the third-party can acquire 9.8 basis points for every $5.0 million committed up to 4.9%. This commitment has not yet been met as of March 31, 2023 as Fund III has not yet started raising capital. If commitment conditions to funds subsequent to Funds II and III are not satisfied, then within 60 days of the final closing of such subsequent fund giving rise to the condition not being satisfied, the Company may elect to repurchase the equity granted to the third-party. The repurchase shall be at the fair market value of such equity at that point in time. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the strategic alliance expense reported was $0.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the strategic alliance expense reported was $0.2 million. This is reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as strategic alliance expense in operating expenses. As of March 31, 2023, the associated liability is $0.2 million which is reported in accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 6. Note Receivable

The Company's note receivable consists of an Advance Agreement and Secured Promissory Note that was executed on September 30, 2021 between the Company and BCP to lend funds to certain employees to be used to pay general partner commitments to certain funds managed by Bonaccord. This agreement provides for a note to BCP for $5.0 million, of which $4.4 million was drawn as of March 31, 2023 with a maturity date of September 30, 2031. The note will earn interest at the greater of (i) the applicable federal rate that must be charged to avoid imputation of interest under Section 1274(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and (ii) 5.5%. Interest will be paid on December 31st of each year commencing December 31, 2021, with any unpaid accrued interest being capitalized and added to the outstanding principal balance. There was $0.1 million cash paid for interest as of December 31, 2022 and the $0.1 million was capitalized to the note receivable. As of March 31, 2023, $0.1 million of interest was repaid. Principal payments will be made periodically from mandatorily required payments from available cash flows at BCP. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance was $4.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The Company recognized interest income of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 7. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs

The Company consolidates certain VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. VIEs consist of certain operating entities not wholly owned by the Company and include P10 Intermediate, Holdco, RCP 2, RCP 3, TrueBridge, Hark, Bonaccord, and WTI. See Note 2 for more information on the Company’s accounting policies related to the consolidation of VIEs. The assets of the consolidated VIEs totaled $500.2 million and $568.0 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs totaled $79.3 million and $96.3 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The assets of our consolidated VIE’s are owned by those entities and not generally available to satisfy P10’s obligations, and the liabilities of our consolidated VIE’s are obligations of those entities and their creditors do not generally have recourse to the assets of P10.

Unconsolidated VIEs

Through its subsidiary, ECG, the Company holds variable interests in the form of direct equity interests in certain VIEs that are not consolidated because the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company's maximum exposure to loss is limited to the potential loss of assets recognized by the Company relating to these unconsolidated entities.

Note 8. Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

The Company’s investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries consist of equity method investments primarily related to ECG’s tax credit finance and asset management activities.

As of March 31, 2023, investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries totaled $2.4 million, of which $0.2 million related to ECG’s tax credit finance businesses and $2.2 million related to ECG’s asset management businesses. As of December 31, 2022, investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries totaled $2.3 million, of which $2.1 million related to ECG’s asset management businesses and $0.2 million related to ECG’s tax credit finance businesses.

Asset Management

ECG manages some of its alternative asset management funds through various unconsolidated subsidiaries and records these investments under the equity method of accounting. ECG recorded its share of income in the amount of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, ECG made $0 capital contributions and received distributions of $0. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, ECG made $0 capital contributions and received distributions of $0.1 million.

Tax Credit Finance

ECG provides a wide range of tax credit transactions and consulting services through various entities which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Enhanced Tax Credit Finance, LLC (“ETCF”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ECG. Some of these subsidiaries own nominal interests, typically under 1.0%, in various VIEs and record these investments under the measurement alternative described in Note 2 above. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, ECG made $0 of capital contributions and received distributions of $0.

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis.

Earnouts associated with the acquisitions of Bonaccord and Hark

Included in total consideration of the acquisition of Bonaccord is an earnout payment not to exceed $20 million. The amount ultimately owed to the sellers is based on achieving specific fundraising targets and any amounts paid to the sellers will be paid by October 2027, at which point the earnout expires. As of March 31, 2023, $8.0 million has been paid in contingent consideration associated with the earnout. Total expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, which is included in contingent consideration expense on the Satements of Operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration is derived from an analysis of the option pricing model and the scenario based model. The assumptions used in the analysis are inherently subjective; therefore, the ultimate amount of the liability may differ materially from the current estimate. The most significant assumption used in the analysis is future fundraising projections. The Company's contingent consideration is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement as the significant inputs are unobservable and require significant judement or estimation. As of March 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the remaining contingent consideration totaled $11.6 million.

Included in the total consideration of the acquisition of Hark is an earnout not to exceed $5.4 million. As of March 31, 2023, the contingent consideration associated with the earnout totaled $5.4 million and is considered earned but has not yet been paid. The Company expects this to be paid in 2023. Total expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, totaled $0.1 million and $0.1 million, which was included in contingent consideration expense on the Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability represents the fair value of future payments upon satisfaction of performance targets. The assumptions used in the analysis are inherently subjective; therefore, the ultimate amount of the contingent consideration liability primarily relate to the expected future payments of obligations with a discount rate applied. The contingent consideration liability is included in contingent consideration on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of the liability are included in contingent consideration expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revolving Credit Facility State Tax Credits

Enhanced State Tax Credit Fund III, LLC, a subsidiary of ECG, had a $10 million revolving credit facility with a regional financial institution restricted solely for the purchase of allocable state tax credits from various state tax credit incentive programs. The facility bore interest at 0.25% above the Prime Rate and matured on June 15, 2022. The facility was not renewed upon maturity.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan

On December 22, 2021, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan, in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Texas Capital Bank, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the other loan parties party thereto. The Credit Agreement consists of two facilities. The first is a revolving credit facility with an available balance of $125 million (the "Revolver Facility"). The second is a term loan for $125 million (the "Term Loan"). In addition to the Term Loan and Revolver Facility, the Credit Agreement also includes a $125 million accordion feature. In October 2022, the accordion feature was exercised with the acquisition of WTI at which point it was split into $87.5 million worth of term loan and $37.5 million of revolver.

Both facilities are "Term SOFR Loans" meaning loans bearing interest based upon the "Adjusted Term SOFR Rate". The Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") at the date of election, plus 2.10%. The Company can elect one or three months for the Revolver Facility and three or six months for the Term Loan. Principal is contractually repaid at a rate of 1.25% on the term loan quarterly effective March 31, 2023. The Revolving Credit Facility has no contractual principal repayments until maturity, which is December 22, 2025 for both facilities. Certain P10 subsidiaries are encumbered by this debt agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants typical of such financing transactions, and specific financial covenants which require P10 to maintain a minimum leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2023, P10 was in compliance with its financial covenants required under the facility. As of March 31, 2023, the balance drawn on the revolving credit facility is $77.9 million and on the term loan, the balance is $209.8 million. The balance as of December 31, 2022 was $80.9 million on the revolving credit facility and $212.5 million on the term loan. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, $4.8 million and $0.9 million of interest expense was incurred, respectively.

Earnout Payment

 

With the acquisition of WTI, an earnout payment of up to $70.0 million of cash and common stock may be earned upon meeting certain performance metrics.Upon the achievement of $20.0 million, $22.5 million, and $25.0 million of EBTIDA, $35.0 million, $17.5 million, and $17.5 million are earned, respectively. Of the total amount, $50.0 million can be earned by the sellers and the remaining $20.0 million would be allocated to employees of the Company at the time the earnout is earned. Payment to both sellers and employees is contingent on continued employment and, therefore, these earnout payments are recorded as compensation expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company will evaluate whether each earn-out hurdle is probable of occurring and recognize an expense over the period the hurdle is expected to be achieved. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has determined that only the first two EBITDA hurdles are probable of being achieved. Total payment will not exceed $70.0 million and any amounts paid will be paid by October 2027, at which point the earnout expires. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, $5.9 million and $0.0 were recognized, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance was $11.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and is included in accrued compensation and benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. No payments have been made on the earnout.

 

Bonus Payment

In connection with the acquisition of WTI, certain employees entered into employment agreements. As part of these employment agreements, certain employees may receive a one-time bonus payment if the employee is employed by the Company as of the fifth anniversary of the effective date and the trailing-twelve month EBITDA of WTI at that time is equal to or greater than $20.0 million. Payment can be made in cash or stock of P10, provided that no more than $5.0 million will be payable in cash. Total payment will not exceed $10.0 million and any amounts will be paid in October 2027, the fifth anniversary of the effective date. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.0 of expense, respectively, which is included in compensation and benefits on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance was $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and is included in accrued compensation and benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Revenue Share Arrangement

The Company recognizes an accrued contingent liabilities and contingent payments to customers asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for an agreement that exists between ECG and a third party. The agreement requires ECG to share in certain revenues earned with the third party and also includes an option for the third party to sell back the revenue share to ECG at a set multiple. The Company’s contingent liabilities and corresponding contingent payments to customers are recognized once determined to be probable and estimable. The contingent payments to customers are amortized and recorded within management and advisory fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the expected period before exercise of an option occurs. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has determined that the put options are probable and have accrued estimated contingent liabilities and contingent payments to customers. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance was $14.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively, and is included in accrued contingent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The associated contingent payments to customers asset balance was $13.3 million and $13.6 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.0 of amortization of contingent payments to customers for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, which is included in management and advisory fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company will reassess each period and recognize all changes as if they occurred at inception and recognize changes in revenue.

Contingencies

 

We may be involved, either as plaintiff or defendant, in a variety of ongoing claims, demands, suits, investigations, tax matters and proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We evaluated all potentially significant litigation, government investigations, claims or assessments in which we are involved and do not believe that any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will result in losses that are materially in excess of amounts already recognized, if any.

Note 15. Income Taxes

The Company calculates its tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate methodology. The tax expense or benefit caused by an unusual or infrequent item is recorded in the quarter in which it occurs. To the extent that information is not available for the Company to fully determine the full year estimated impact of an item of income or tax adjustment, the Company calculates the tax impact of such item discretely.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was not meaningful due to the impact of a discrete item recognized in the tax rate for the period that related to windfall tax benefits associated with employee stock options exercised during the period. Absent this discrete item, the Company’s effective tax rate would be 28.64%.

The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax benefit or expense that will result from differences between the carrying value of its assets for income tax purposes and for financial reporting purposes, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryovers. A valuation allowance is recorded to bring the net deferred tax assets to a level that, in management's view, is more likely than not to be realized in the foreseeable future. This level will be estimated based on a number of factors, especially the amount of net deferred tax assets of the Company that are actually expected to be realized, for tax purposes, in the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has recorded a $12.8 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. There was no change to the valuation allowance during the period.

The Company monitors federal and state legislative activity and other developments that may impact our tax positions and their relation to the income tax provision. Any impacts will be recorded in the period in which the legislation is enacted or new regulations are issued. The Company is subject to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service as well as state and local tax authorities. The Company is not currently under audit. Tax years 2019 - 2021 remain open under statute for IRS examination of federal income tax returns. State statutes remain open for the 2018 - 2021 years, depending on jurisdiction.

Note 16. Stockholders' Equity

Equity-Based Compensation

On July 20, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the P10 Holdings, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which replaced the 2018 Incentive Plan ("2018 Plan"), our previously existing equity compensation plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may issue equity-based awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards. Options previously granted under the 2018 Plan cliff vest over a period of four or five years. The term of each option is no more than ten years from the date of grant. When the options are exercised, the Board of Directors has the option of issuing shares of common stock or paying a lump sum cash payment on the exercise date equal to the difference between the common stock’s fair market value on the exercise date and the option price. Terms of all future awards will be granted under the Plan, and no additional awards will be granted under the 2018 Plan. Awards granted under the 2018 Plan continue to follow the 2018 Plan.

The 2018 Plan provided for an initial 6,300,000 shares (adjusted for the reverse stock split). The Plan provided for the issuance of 3,000,000 shares available for grant, in addition to those approved in the 2018 Plan for a total of 9,300,000 shares.

On March 15, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the settlement of 1.1 million options from a grantee with a fair market value option price of $11.83, less a negotiated discount of 2.5%, totaling $12.5 million. This was paid on April 4, 2022.

On June 17, 2022, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the shareholders authorized an increase of 5,000,000 shares that may be issued under the Plan creating a total of 14,300,000 shares available for grant under the Plan and the 2018 Plan. On October 21, 2022, a special meeting of stockholders was held to increase the number of shares issuable under the Plan by 4,000,000 shares. As of March 31, 2023, there are 3,378,921 shares available for grant.

The Company has granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees. Holders of RSUs have no voting rights and are not eligible to receive dividends or other distributions paid with respect to any RSUs that have not vested. All of the shares currently vest one year from the grant date excluding the restricted stock units at Hark and Bonaccord which are discussed in more detail below.

At the time of the Bonaccord acquisition, the Company entered into a Notice of Restricted Stock Units with certain employees of Bonaccord for grants of Restricted Stock Units ("Bonaccord Units") to be allocated to employees at a later date for meeting certain performance metrics. The Bonaccord Units may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by any grantee until it has become vested. On August 16, 2022, allocations were finalized pursuant to which an aggregate a value of $17.5 million of units may vest at each future achievement of performance metrics. As of March 31, 2023, certain performance metrics have been met and 345,765 units have been allocated and issued to specific employees. The Company evaluates whether it is probable that the Bonaccord Units will vest and applies the tranche method to determine the amount of expense to recognized during the period. An expense of $3.6 million has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unrecognized expense associated with the Bonaccord Units was $6.9 million as of March 31, 2023.

At the time of the Hark acquisition, the Company entered into a Notice of Restricted Stock Units with an employee, which grants Restricted Stock Units ("Hark Units") for meeting a certain performance metric. The Hark Units may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by any grantee until they have become vested. As of March 31, 2023, no Hark Units have vested but the Company believes it is probable that the RSUs will be earned. An expense of $0.3 million has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unvested units are recognized ratably as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and expense is recognized over the expected vesting period. The Company expects the Hark Units to be issued in 2023.

Note 17. Earnings Per Share

The Company presents basic EPS and diluted EPS for our common stock. Basic EPS excludes potential dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if shares of common stock were issued pursuant to our stock-based compensation awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming that all units in P10 Intermediate that were granted as a result of the WTI acquisition are converted to shares of Class A common stock.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

Note 18. Subsequent Events

On May 12, 2023, P10’s Co-CEO’s, Robert Alpert and Clark Webb, signed revised employment agreements as a result of the restructuring that occurred within P10 entities for the WTI acquisition. The revised agreements are now with P10 Intermediate Holdings, LLC rather than P10 Holdings, Inc. due to the restructuring. Also, clarifications on compensation structure are included in the revised employment agreements, which specify non-cash stock-based compensation value of $5.9 million each for 2023 performance.

The Board of Directors of the Company has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0325 per share of Class A and Class B common stock, payable on June 20, 2023, to the holders of record as of the close of business on May 30, 2023.

In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company evaluated all material events or transactions that occurred after March 31, 2023, the Consolidated Balance Sheet date, through the date the Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, and determined there have been no additional events or transactions that would materially impact the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Overview

We are a leading multi-asset class private market solutions provider in the alternative asset management industry. Our mission is to provide our investors differentiated access to a broad set of solutions and investment vehicles across highly attractive asset classes and geographies that generate superior risk-adjusted returns. Our success and growth have been driven by our position in the private markets’ ecosystem, providing investors with specialized private market solutions across a comprehensive set of investment strategies, including primary investment funds, secondary investment, direct investment and co-investments and advisory solutions. As investors entrust us with additional capital, our relationships with our fund managers are strengthened, which drives additional investment opportunities, sources more data, enables portfolio optimization and enhances returns, and in turn attracts new investors.

On October 13, 2022, we completed the acquisition of WTI that again further expanded on solutions available to our investors by entering into the venture debt space. The Company The effect of this acquisition is reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022 and Consolidated Statement of Operations beginning with the period from October 13, 2022 to December 31, 2022 and forward. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and WTI is reported as a consolidated subsidiary of P10.

During 2022, the Board approved a program to repurchase up to $40.0 million of outstanding shares of our Class A and Class B common stock. These shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and/or through other legally permissible means. The timing and amount of any repurchases pursuant to the program will depend on various factors including, the market price of our Class A Common Stock, trading volume, ongoing assessment of our working capital needs, general market conditions, and other factors. As of March 31, 2023, $21.1 million has been used to buy back shares under this program.

As of March 31, 2023, our private market solutions were comprised of the following:

Sources of Revenue

Our sources of revenue currently include fund management fee contracts, advisory service fee contracts, consulting agreements, referral fees, subscriptions and other services. The majority of our revenues are generated through long-term, fixed fee management and advisory contracts with our investors for providing investment solutions in the following vehicles for our investors:

Primary Investment Funds. Primary investment funds refer to investment vehicles which target investments in new private markets funds, which in turn invest directly in portfolio companies. P10’s primary investment funds include both commingled investment vehicles with multiple investors as well as customizable separate accounts, which typically include one investor. Primary investments are made during a fundraising period in the form of capital commitments, which are called upon by the fund manager and utilized to finance its investments in portfolio companies during a predefined investment period. We receive a fee stream that is typically based on our investor’s committed, locked-in capital; capital commitments that typically average ten to fifteen years, though they may vary by fund and strategy. We offer primary investment funds across private equity and venture capital solutions. Often, the fees are structured such that they step down, or decrease, over the life of the fund. Our primary funds comprise approximately $12.2 billion of our FPAUM as of March 31, 2023.
Direct and Co-Investment Funds. Direct and co-investments involve acquiring an equity interest in or making a loan to an operating company, project, property, alternative asset manager, or asset, typically by co-investing alongside an investment by a fund manager or by investing directly in the underlying asset. P10’s direct and co- investment funds include both commingled investment vehicles with multiple investors as well as customizable separate accounts, which typically include one investor. Capital committed to direct investments and co-investments is typically invested immediately, thereby advancing the timing of expected returns on investment. We typically receive fees from investors based upon committed capital, with some funds receiving fees based on invested capital; capital commitments, typically average ten to fifteen years, though they may vary by fund. We offer direct and co-investment funds across our private equity, venture capital, impact investing and private credit

30


 

solutions. Often, the fees are structured such that they step down, or decrease, over the life of the fund. Our direct investing platform comprises approximately $7.8 billion of our FPAUM as of March 31, 2023.
Secondaries. Secondaries refer to investments in existing private markets funds through the acquisition of an existing interest in a private markets fund by one investor from another in a negotiated transaction. In so doing, the buyer agrees to take on future funding obligations in exchange for future returns and distributions. Because secondary investments are generally made when a primary investment fund is three to seven years into its investment period and has deployed a significant portion of its capital into portfolio companies, these investments are viewed as more mature. We typically receive fees from investors on committed capital for a decade, the typical life of the fund. We currently offer secondaries funds across our private equity solutions. Often, the fees are structured such that they step down, or decrease, over the life of the fund. Our secondary funds comprise approximately $1.6 billion of our FPAUM as of March 31, 2023.

Operating Segments

We operate our business as a single operating segment, which is how our chief operating decision makers (our Co-Chief Executive Officers) evaluate financial performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources.

Trends Affecting Our Business

Our business is affected by a variety of factors, including conditions in the financial markets and economic and political conditions in the North American markets in which we operate, as well as changes in global economic conditions, and regulatory or other governmental policies or actions, which can materially affect the values of the funds our platforms manage, as well as our ability to effectively manage investments and attract capital. Despite rising interest rates and the global economy outlook remaining uncertain, we continue to see investors turning towards alternative investments to achieve consistent and higher yields with our contractually guaranteed fee rate.

The continued growth of our business may be influenced by several factors, including the following market trends:

Accelerating demand for private markets solutions. Our ability to attract new capital is dependent on investor demand for private markets solutions. We believe the composition of public markets is fundamentally shifting and will drive growth in private markets investing as fewer companies elect to become public corporations, while more companies are choosing to stay privately held or return to being privately held. Furthermore, investors continue to increase their exposure to passive strategies in search for lower fee alternatives as relative returns in active public market strategies have compressed. We believe the continued move away from active public market strategies into passive strategies will support growth in private market solutions as investors seek higher risk-adjusted returns. Additional trends driving investor demand are (a) increasing long-term investor allocations towards private market asset classes, (b) legislation that allows retirement plans to add private equity vehicles as an investment option, and (c) the adoption of Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (“ESG”) and impact investing by the institutional and high net worth investor community.
Favorable lower and lower-middle market dynamics, and data driven sourcing. We attribute our strong investment performance track record to several factors, including: our broad private market relationships and access to fund managers and investments, our diligent and responsible investment process, our tenured investing experience and our premier data, technology, and analytic capabilities. Our ability to continue generating strong returns will be impacted by lower and lower-middle market dynamics and our ability to source deals efficiently and effectively using data analytics. As more companies choose to remain private, we believe smaller companies will continue to dominate market supply, with significantly less capital in pursuit. This favorable lower and lower-middle market dynamic implies a larger pool of opportunities at compelling purchase price valuations with significant return potential. In addition, our premier data and analytic capabilities, driven by our proprietary database, support our robust and disciplined sourcing criteria, which fuels our highly selective investment process. Our database stores and organizes a universe of managers and opportunities with powerful tracking metrics that we believe drive optimal portfolio construction, management, and monitoring and enable a portfolio grading system, as well as repository of investment evaluation scorecards. Our ability to maintain our data advantage is dependent on several factors, including our continued access to a broad set of private market information on an on-going basis.
Expanding asset class solutions, broaden geographic reach and grow private markets network effect. Our ability to continue growing is impacted by our scalability and ability to maximize investor relationships. The purview of private markets has meaningfully broadened over the last decade. As investors increase their allocations to private markets investments, we believe the demand for asset class diversification will rise. Furthermore, as part

31


 

of this evolution we believe investors will seek out private market solutions providers with scale and an ability to deliver multiple asset classes and vehicle solutions to streamline relationships and pursue cost efficiency. Our scalable business model is well positioned to expand and grow our footprint as we develop our position within the private markets ecosystem to further leverage our synergistic solutions offering. We currently have a leading presence in North America, but believe that expanding our investor presence into international markets can be a significant growth driver for our business as investors continue to seek geographically diverse private market exposure. Further, expanding into additional asset class solutions can enable us to further enhance our integrated network effect across private markets by, among other benefits, fostering deeper manager relationships. We believe that the growing number of private markets focused fund managers increases the operational burden on investors and will lead to a greater reliance on highly trusted advisors to help investors navigate the complexity associated with multi- asset class manager selection.
Increasing regulatory requirements and political uncertainty. The complex regulatory and tax environment could restrict our operations and subject us to increased compliance costs and administrative burdens, as well as restrictions on our business activities. There is additional uncertainty around potential legal, regulatory, and tax changes, which may impact our profitability or impact our ability to operate and grow our business.
Our ability to raise capital in order to fund acquisitions and strategic growth initiatives. In addition to organic growth of our existing solutions and services, our growth will continue to depend, in part, on our ability to identify, evaluate and acquire high performing and high-quality asset management businesses to expand our team of asset managers and advisors, as well as expand the industries and end markets which we serve. These acquisitions may require us to raise additional capital through debt financing or the issuance of equity securities. Our ability to obtain debt with acceptable terms will be influenced by the corporate debt markets and prevailing interest rates, as well as our current credit worthiness. The funding available through the issuance of equity securities will be determined in part by the market price of our shares.
Increased competition to work with top private equity fund managers. There has been a trend amongst larger private markets investors to consolidate the number of general partners in which they invest and work with. At times, this has led to certain funds being oversubscribed due to the increasing flow of capital. This has resulted in some investors, primarily smaller investors or less strategically important investors, not being able to gain access to certain funds. Our ability to invest and maintain our sphere of influence with these high-performing fund managers is critical to our investors’ success and our ability to maintain our competitive position and grow our revenue.
Data advantage relative to competitors. We believe that the general trend towards transparency and consistency in private markets reporting will create new opportunities for us to leverage our databases and analytical capabilities. We intend to use these advantages afforded to us by our proprietary databases, analytical tools and deep industry knowledge to drive our performance, provide our clients with customized solutions across private markets asset classes and continue to differentiate our products and services from those of our competitors. Our ability to maintain our data advantage is dependent on several factors, including our continued access to a broad set of private market information on an on-going basis, as well as our ability to maintain our investment scale, considering the evolving competitive landscape and potential industry consolidation.
Consolidation of Manager relationships and flight to quality. As global financial markets continue to remain uncertain and private markets investors evaluate their exposure and allocation to private markets, a trend of consolidating managers has emerged. Our strategies, with long-track records of success, deep industry experience, well-established relationships, and high-quality investment opportunities, can benefit from a trend toward reducing the number of managers to which capital is allocated. Furthermore, we believe that by offering investors access to access-constrained investment opportunities, investors may favor our strategies as they make decisions on market exposure and allocation levels.
Counter-cyclical strategies can thrive in a higher-rate environment. Some strategies are counter-cyclical in nature and can take advantage of a higher rate environment. Specifically, private credit products, including our NAV lending strategy, with floating rate terms, benefit from the current environment, with floating rates and longer duration. The higher rate environment also benefits our venture debt strategy as rates float throughout the investment period.

Key Financial & Operating Metrics

Revenues

We generate revenues primarily from management fees and advisory contracts, and to a lesser extent, other consulting arrangements and services. See Significant Accounting Policies in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the way revenues are recognized.

We earn management and advisory fees based on a percentage of investors’ capital commitments to, in funds or deployed capital. Management and advisory fees during the commitment period are charged on capital commitments and after the commitment period (or a defined anniversary of the fund’s initial closing) is reduced by a percentage of the management and advisory fees for the preceding years or charged on net invested capital or NAV, in selected cases. Fee schedules are generally fixed and set for the expected life of the funds, which typically are between ten to fifteen years. These fees are typically staged to decrease over the life of the contract due to built-in declines in contractual rates and/or as a result of lower net invested capital balances as capital is returned to investors. We also earn revenues through catch-up fees ("catch up fees") on the funds we manage. Catch-up fees are earned from investors that make commitments to the fund after the first fund closing occurs during the fundraising period of funds originally launched in prior periods, and as such the investors are required to pay a catch-up fee as if they had committed to the fund at the first closing. While catch-up fees are not a significant component of our overall revenue stream, they may result in a temporary increase in our revenues in the period in which they are recognized.

Other revenue consists of subscription and consulting agreements and referral fees that we offer in certain cases. Subscription and consulting agreements provide advisory and/or reporting services to our investors such as monitoring and reporting on an investor’s existing private markets investments. The subscription and consulting agreements typically have renewable one-year lives, and revenue is recognized ratably over the current term of the subscription or the agreement. If subscriptions or fees have been paid in advance, these fees are recorded as deferred revenue on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Referral fee revenue is recognized upon closing of opportunities where we have referred credit opportunities that do not match our investment criteria.

The Company recognizes an accrued contingent liability and contingent payments to customers in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for an agreement between ECG and a third party. The agreement requires ECG to share in certain revenues earned with the third party and also includes an option for the third party to sell back the revenue share to ECG at a set multiple. Additionally, ECG holds the option to buy back 50% of the revenue share at a set multiple. The options to repurchase the revenue share are not exercisable until July of 2025. The Company believes it is probable that the third party will exercise its option to sell back the revenue share and has recognized a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has also recognized a contingent payments to customers asset associated with the agreement and will amortize the asset against revenue over the period the option is expected to be exercised. The amortization is reported in management and advisory fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Operating Expenses

Compensation and benefits are our largest expense and consists of salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, employee benefits and employer-related payroll taxes. Despite our general operating leverage that exists, we expect to continue to experience an incremental rise in compensation and benefits expense commensurate with expected growth in headcount and with the need to maintain competitive compensation levels as we expand into new markets to create new products and services. In substantially all instances, the Company does not hold carried interests in the funds that we manage. Carried interest is typically structured to stay with the investment professionals. As such, while this does not impact the compensation we pay to our employees, it allows our investment professionals to receive additional benefit and provides economic incentive for them to outperform on behalf of our investors. This structure differs from that of most of our competitors, which we believe better aligns the objectives of our stockholders, investors and investment professionals.

Professional fees primarily consist of legal, advisory, accounting and tax fees which may include services related to our strategic development opportunities such as due diligence performed in connection with potential acquisitions. Our professional fees will fluctuate commensurate with our strategic objectives and potential acquisitions, and certain recurring accounting advisory, audit and tax expenses are expected to increase as our Company has become an SEC registrant and we must comply with additional regulatory requirements.

General, administrative and other includes occupancy, travel and entertainment, technology, insurance and other general costs associated with operating our business.

33


 

Strategic alliance expense is included in operating expenses. This expense is driven by the SAA that Bonaccord entered into with an investor at the time Bonaccord was acquired in exchange for a portion of net management fee earnings and net distributable carried interest at the time of acquisition.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense includes interest paid and accrued on our outstanding debt, along with the amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of original issue discount.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Income tax benefit (expense) is comprised of current and deferred tax benefit (expense). Current income tax benefit (expense) represents our estimated taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized.

Fee-Paying Assets Under Management, or FPAUM

FPAUM reflects the assets from which we earn management and advisory fees. Our vehicles typically earn management and advisory fees based on committed capital, and in certain cases, net invested capital, depending on the fee terms. Management and advisory fees based on committed capital are not affected by market appreciation or depreciation.

Revenues

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022

Our revenue is composed almost entirely of recurring management and advisory fees, with the vast majority of fees earned on committed capital that is typically subject to ten to fifteen year lock up agreements, therefore our average fee rates have remained stable at approximately 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenues increased by $14.0 million or 32% due to higher management fees from the impact of inorganic growth of $7.2 million driven by the acquisition of WTI and $7.0 million of organic growth across Bonaccord, ECG, RCP, and Truebridge.

34


 

Management and advisory fees increased by $13.6 million, or 32%, to $56.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to inorganic growth due to the acquisition of WTI which brought $7.2 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2023 and organic FPAUM growth at RCP, TrueBridge, and ECG were the primary drivers of the increase in management and advisory fees of $6.6 million. Catch-up fees for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $3.0 million associated with the fund closings at Bonaccord, TrueBridge and RCP.

Other revenues, which represent ancillary elements of our business, increased by $0.4 million or 162% to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 driven primarily by an increase of $0.4 million of interest income in other revenue.

Operating Expenses

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022

Total operating expenses increased by $20.7 million, or 65%, to $52.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits as well as professional fees and amortization expense.

Compensation and benefits expense increased by $17.1 million, or 93%, to $35.6 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was driven by a number of factors. The acquisition of WTI added $3.2 million of compensation expense in the first quarter of 2023. Stock compensation contributed to $5.6 million of the increase, of which $4.5 million relates to acquisition activity. The earn out and bonus accruals associated with the acquisition of WTI as discussed in Note 14 in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements contributed $6.4 million. The final driver is a $1.9 million increase associated with an increase in headcount and associated benefits across all subsidiaries.

Professional fees increased by $1.2 million, or 47%, to $3.8 million. The primary cost in professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are tax fees associated with year end reporting and strategic planning.

General, administrative and other increased by $0.7 million, or 18%, to $4.9 million, due primarily to the acquisition of WTI.

Contingent consideration expense increased by $0.3 million, to $0.4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was driven by remeasurement during the first quarter of 2023 of the contingent consideration payable in connection with the acquisitions of Hark and Bonaccord.

Amortization of intangibles increased by $1.1 million, or 17%, to $7.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This is due to the acquisition of WTI.

Other Income (Expense)

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022

Other expenses increased by $4.0 million, or 379%, to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was driven by a rise in interest expense of $3.7 million. The increase in interest expense correlates to the increase in the principal balance outstanding of our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan of $96.8 million from the first quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023 as well as rising interest rates. This primarily relates to the acquisition of WTI.

Income Tax Expense/Benefit

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022

Income tax benefit increased by $3.7 million to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to an expense of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a discrete item during 2023.

FPAUM as of March 31, 2023

FPAUM increased by $0.4 billion, or 1.9%, to $21.6 billion on a pro forma basis and $0.4 billion, or 1.9%, to $21.6 billion on an actual basis for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due primarily to an increase in capital raised and deployed from our private equity and venture capital solutions and offset by expirations. Our FPAUM growth and concentration across solutions and vehicles has been relatively consistent over time but can vary in particular periods due to the systematic fundraising cycles of new funds, which typically lasts 12-24 months. We expect to continue to expand our fundraising efforts and grow FPAUM with the launch of new specialized investment vehicles and asset class solutions.

FPAUM as of March 31, 2022

FPAUM increased by $0.3 billion, or 1.9%, to $17.6 billion on an actual basis and $0.3 billion, or 1.3%, to $19.3 billion on a pro forma basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is due primarily to an increase in capital raised and deployed from our private equity and venture capital solutions at RCP and TrueBridge which is offset by some expirations. Our FPAUM growth and concentration across solutions and vehicles has been relatively consistent over time but can vary in particular periods due to the systematic fundraising cycles of new funds, which typically lasts 12-24 months. We expect to continue to expand our fundraising efforts and grow FPAUM with the launch of new specialized investment vehicles and asset class solutions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Below is a description of our unaudited non-GAAP financial measures. These are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be construed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are reconciled below. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. Other companies may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

We use Adjusted Net Income, or ANI, as well as Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) to provide additional measures of profitability. We use the measures to assess our performance relative to our intended strategies, expected patterns of profitability, and budgets, and use the results of that assessment to adjust our future activities to the extent we deem necessary. ANI reflects our actual cash flows generated by our core operations. ANI is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA, less actual cash paid for interest and federal and state income taxes.

37


 

In order to compute Adjusted EBITDA, we adjust our GAAP net income for the following items:

Expenses that typically do not require us to pay them in cash in the current period (such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation);
The cost of financing our business;
Acquisition-related expenses which reflects the actual costs incurred during the period for the acquisition of new businesses, which primarily consists of fees for professional services including legal, accounting, and advisory, as well as bonuses paid to employees directly related to the acquisition;
Registration-related expenses includes professional services associated with our prospectus process incurred during the period, and does not reflect expected regulatory, compliance, and other costs associated with those that were incurred subsequent to our IPO; and
The effects of income taxes.

The cash income taxes paid during the periods differ significantly from the net income tax expense, which is primarily comprised of deferred tax expense as described in the results of operations.

There was an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $6.4 million from December 31, 2022 to $25.1 million as of March 31, 2023 primarily due to timing of debt facility maturities and associated repayments. There was a decrease in goodwill and intangible assets of $7.2 million due to amortization of intangibles during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Remaining total assets increased in the same period by $9.1 million. The increase is driven by an increase in accounts

receivable from related parties which is entirely due to ECG's Advisory Agreement with Enhanced PC and Crossroads. Debt obligations declined by $5.3 million which is driven by revolver activity during the period.

Historical Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have continued to support our ongoing operations through the receipt of management and advisory fee revenues. However, to fund our continued growth, we have utilized capital obtained through debt and equity raises. Our ability to continue to raise funds will be critical as we pursue additional business development opportunities and new acquisitions.

On December 22, 2021, P10, Inc. entered into a Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.. The term loan and revolving credit facility provides financing for acquisition activity. The term loan provides for a $125.0 million facility and the revolving credit facility provides for an additional $125.0 million. There is also a $125 million accordion feature available in the credit agreement, which we exercised in September 2022. The accordion was not drawn until October 2022, at which point it was divided to $87.5 million of term loan and $37.5 million of revolver.

Both facilities are Term SOFR Loans. The Company can elect one or three months for the Revolver Facility and three or six months for the Term Loan. Principal is contractually repaid at a rate of 1.25% on the term loan quarterly effective March 31, 2023. The Revolving Credit Facility has no contractual principal repayments until maturity, which is December 22, 2025 for both facilities.

As of March 31, 2023, the Term Loan with a balance of $209.8 million is incurring interest at a weighted average SOFR rate of 6.62%. As of March 31, 2023, the Revolver Facility is split into eight tranches. The total principal outstanding is $77.9 million and the average SOFR rate amongst the tranches is 6.20%. The tranches are all incurring interest at a set rate for three month periods and are subsequently reset at the current SOFR rate.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants typical of such financing transactions, and specific financial covenants which require P10 to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of less than or equal to 3.50. As of March 31, 2023, P10 was in compliance with its financial covenants required under the facility. As of March 31, 2023, the balance drawn on the revolving credit facility is $77.9 million and on the term loan, the balance is $209.8 million. The Company has incurred $5.2 million in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

In September 2022, the Company exercised the accordion feature of the Credit Agreement. There were no draws made until the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company incurred $1.4 million of up front fees during the exercise which are reflected as debt obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Operating Activities

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022

Cash from operating activities increased by $13.2 million, or 173%, to $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The components of this net increase primarily consisted of the following changes in operating assets and liabilities:

 

An increase in revenues of $14.0 million associated with the acquisition of WTI as well as additional fund closings; and
A decrease of $0.9 million in the current quarter of cash received related to the Advisory Agreement at Enhanced compared to the first quarter in 2022.

Investing activities

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022

The cash used in investing activities increased by $0.3 million, or 65%, to ($0.7) million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase in cash used was due to additional property and equipment in the first quarter of 2023.

Financing Activities

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022

We recorded a net $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 for cash used in financing activities, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $25.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change is attributed to timing differences of revolver tranches subject to repayment.

Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity

We generate significant cash flows from operating activities. We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our current and long-term liquidity and capital requirements through our cash flows from operating activities, existing cash and cash equivalents, and our external financing activities which may include refinancing of existing indebtedness or the pay down of debt using proceeds of equity offerings.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we enter contractual arrangements that require future cash payments. The following table sets forth information regarding our anticipated future cash payments under our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2023:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe the following critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change the underlying assumptions, estimates, or judgements. See Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements for a summary of our significant accounting policies.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments so that the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable and prudent. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company is deemed to have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain entities in which the Company holds an interest are investment companies that follow specialized accounting rules under GAAP and reflect their investments at estimated fair value. Accordingly, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments in such entities retains the specialized accounting treatment.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company performs the variable interest analysis for all entities in which it has a potential variable interest. If the Company has a variable interest in the entity and the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we will also analyze whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of this entity and if consolidation is required.

Generally, VIEs are entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties, or whose equity holders, as a group, lack one or more of the following characteristics: (a) direct or indirect ability to make decisions, (b) obligation to absorb expected losses or (c) right to receive expected residual returns. A VIE must be evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively to determine the primary beneficiary, which is the reporting entity that has (a) the power to direct activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

To determine a VIE’s primary beneficiary, we perform a qualitative assessment to determine which party, if any, has the power to direct activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses and/or receive its benefits. This assessment involves identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and determine whether we, or another party, has the power to direct those activities. When evaluating whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we perform a qualitative analysis that considers the design of the VIE, the nature of our involvement and the variable interests held by other parties. See Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements for further information.

The Company has determined that certain of its subsidiaries are VIEs, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entities, because it has the power to direct activities of the entities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has a controlling financial interest in each entity. Accordingly, the Company consolidates these entities, which include P10 Intermediate, Holdco, RCP 2, RCP 3, TrueBridge, Hark, Bonaccord, and WTI. The assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are presented gross in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liabilities of our consolidated VIE’s are obligations of those entities and their creditors do not generally have recourse to the assets of P10. See Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements for more information on both consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs.

Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are assessed for consolidation as voting interest entities under the voting interest model. Under the voting interest model, the Company consolidates those entities it controls through a majority voting interest or other means. Five Points, P10 Holdings, and ECG are concluded to be consolidated subsidiaries of P10 under the voting interest model.

Revenue Recognition of Management Fees and Management Fees Received in Advance

Revenue is recognized when the Company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

While the determination of who is the customer in a contractual arrangement will be made on a contract-by-contract basis, the customer will generally be the investment fund for the Company’s significant management and advisory contracts.

Management and Advisory Fees

The Company earns management fees for asset management services provided to the Funds where the Company has discretion over investment decisions. The Company primarily earns fees for advisory services provided to clients where the Company does not have discretion over investment decisions. Management and advisory fees received in advance reflects the amount of fees that have been received prior to the period the fees are earned. These fees are recorded as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For asset management and advisory services, the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations over time as the services are rendered, since the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided as the Company performs the service. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled based on the terms of the arrangement. For certain funds, management fees are initially calculated based on committed capital during the investment period and on net invested capital through the remainder of the fund’s term. Additionally, the management fee may step down for certain funds depending on the contractual arrangement. Advisory services are generally based upon fixed amounts and billed quarterly. Other advisory services include transaction and management fees associated with managing the origination and ongoing compliance of certain investments.

Income Taxes

Current income tax expense represents our estimated taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period. In accordance with ASC 740, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized only when we believe it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination by the taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

We file various federal and state and local tax returns based on federal and state local consolidation and stand- alone tax rules as applicable.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to a broad range of risks inherent in the financial markets in which we participate, including price risk, interest-rate risk, access to and cost of financing risk, liquidity risk, and counterparty risk. Potentially negative effects of these risks may be mitigated to a certain extent by those aspects of our investment approach, investment strategies or other business activities that are designed to benefit, either in relative or absolute terms, from periods of economic weakness, tighter credit or financial market dislocations.

Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as general partner or investment manager for our specialized investment vehicles and the sensitivities to movements in the fair value of their investments and overall returns for our investors. Since our management fees are generally based on commitments or net invested capital, our management fee and advisory fee revenue is not significantly impacted by changes in investment values, but unfavorable changes in the value of the assets we manage could adversely impact our ability to attract and retain our investors.

Fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of our specialized investment vehicles may fluctuate in response to changes in the value of underlying assets, and interest rates.

42


 

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2023, we had $209.8 million in outstanding principal in Term Loan under our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility. The annual interest rate on the Term Loan is based on SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.10%, plus 2.00%. On March 31, 2023, the interest rate on these borrowings was 2.1% + SOFR. We estimate that a 100-basis point increase in the interest rate would result in an approximately $1.7 million increase in interest expense related to the loan over the next 12 months.

Credit Risk

We are party to agreements providing for various financial services and transactions that contain an element of risk in the event that the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In such agreements, we depend on the respective counterparty to make payment or otherwise perform. We generally endeavor to minimize our risk of exposure by limiting the counterparties with which we enter into financial transactions to reputable financial institutions. In other circumstances, availability of financing from financial institutions may be uncertain due to market events, and we may not be able to access these financing markets.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgement in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

(1) On May 12, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase outstanding shares of our Class A and Class B common stock as of the date of authorization, not to exceed $20 million (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). On December 27, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized an additional $20 million for repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program. The authorization provides us the flexibility to repurchase shares in the open market, in block trades, in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, and/or through other legally permissible means, in privately negotiated transactions, from time to time, based on market conditions and other factors. The Stock Repurchase Program does not obligate P10 to acquire any particular amount of common stock and it may be terminated or amended by the Board of Directors at any time.

Item 5. Other Information

William F. Souder Employment Agreement

Effective as of May 12, 2023, P10 Intermediate entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with William F. Souder (the “Employment Agreement”), which superseded and replaced in its entirety the employment agreement that had previously been in effect between Mr. Souder and P10 Holdings.

Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, which provides for substantially the same compensation and benefits as under his existing employment agreement, Mr. Souder will: (i) receive a base salary of $600,000; (ii) be eligible to receive an annual bonus with a target amount of 100% of his base salary; (iii) be eligible for equity award grants under the Plan; (iv) be a participant in eligible group medical, dental and 401(k) plans and P10 Intermediate shall pay 90% of employee and dependent premiums on medical and dental insurance; (v) be reimbursed for all reasonable business, promotional, travel and entertainment expenses incurred; and (vi) have a perpetual right to invest in P10 funds on a fee-free and carry-free basis. For 2023, Mr. Souder’s annual bonus and equity awards will be equivalent in value to his bonus and equity awards in 2022. During the term and for specified periods thereafter, Mr. Souder will be subject to confidentiality and non-solicitation restrictions. In addition, Mr. Souder will be subject to all written policies adopted by the Board in effect from time to time, including our Code of Ethics and Insider Trading Policy.

44


 

The term of the Employment Agreement is for one year, which will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Mr. Souder may also terminate the Employment Agreement for any reason upon 21 days’ advanced written notice.

If P10 Intermediate terminates Mr. Souder’s employment without cause (including by electing not to renew the term), or upon a resignation for “good reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then Mr. Souder will be entitled to receive: (i) a severance payment, payable in a lump sum, equal to 12 months’ base salary; (ii) the target amount of the executive’s annual bonus; (iii) immediate vesting of any and all options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units granted to him and all carried interests in the investment vehicles of the “affiliated entities” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) granted to him; and (iv) reimbursement for the cost of COBRA premiums for health insurance continuation coverage (to the extent such premiums exceed the contributory cost for the same coverage charged to active employees) for up to 12 months. However, if such termination occurs following the execution of a letter of intent contemplating a “change in control” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or within 18 months following the closing of such change in control, the severance payment contemplated in clause (i) above shall be equal to 18 months’ salary (instead of 12 months’ salary) and the COBRA premium reimbursements contemplated in clause (iv) above shall continue for a period of up to 18 months (instead of 12 months).

Robert Alpert and C. Clark Webb Amended and Restated Employment Agreements

P10 Intermediate replaced P10 Holdings as the applicable employer in connection with a corporate restructuring. In connection with this change, effective as of May 12, 2023, Robert Alpert and C. Clark Webb also entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with P10 Intermediate (each, a “Co-CEO Agreement”), which superseded and replaced in its entirety their respective employment agreement that had previously been in effect between such executive and P10 Holdings.

The term of employment under each Co-CEO Agreement is through December 31, 2023 and may be renewed annually thereafter with the agreement of both parties.

Under the terms of each Co-CEO Agreement, each CEO will: (i) receive a base salary of $600,000; (ii) receive an annual bonus and equity awards in the form of cash, stock options, restricted stock units and common stock with an aggregate value no less than the aggregate value of the bonus, equity awards and carried interest, including carried interest awards received by the Co-CEO in the previous year from funds not controlled by the Company (and excluded from the Summary Compensation Table included in the Company’s proxy statement) (the “Bonus”); (iii) be a participant in eligible group medical, dental and 401(k) plans and P10 Intermediate shall pay 90% of employee and dependent premiums on medical and dental insurance; (iv) be reimbursed for all reasonable business, promotional, travel and entertainment expenses incurred; and (v) have a perpetual right to invest in P10 funds on a fee-free and carry-free basis. During the term and for specified periods thereafter, each Co-CEO will be subject to confidentiality and non-solicitation restrictions. In addition, each Co-CEO will be subject to all written policies adopted by the Board in effect from time to time, including our Code of Ethics and Insider Trading Policy.

If P10 Intermediate terminates a Co-CEO’s employment without cause, or upon non-renewal of the Co-CEO Agreement or upon a resignation for “good reason” (as defined in the Co-CEO Agreement), then such Co-CEO will be entitled to receive: (i) a severance payment, payable in a lump sum, equal to $1,200,000; (ii) the Bonus, pro-rated for the number of days in the fiscal year in which the termination occurred that the Co-CEO was employed by the Company; (iii) immediate vesting of any and all options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units granted to him or his affiliates and all carried interests in the investment vehicles of the “affiliated entities” (as defined in the Co-CEO Agreement) granted to him or his affiliates; (iv) reimbursement for the cost of COBRA premiums for health insurance continuation coverage (to the extent such premiums exceed the contributory cost for the same coverage charged to active employees) for up to 12 months; and (v) a release from all lock up restrictions with respect to any equity securities of the Company. On and after December 31, 2023, each Co-CEO has certain demand registration rights with respect to Company equity securities.

The foregoing descriptions of the Employment Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement with Mr. Souder, the Co-CEO Agreement with Mr. Webb and the Co-CEO Agreement with Mr. Alpert, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.5, 10.4, and 10.3, respectively, to this Form 10-Q and are incorporated herein by reference.

Jeff P. Gehl Severance Agreement

P10 Holdings has entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release (“Severance Agreement”) with Jeff P. Gehl in connection with Mr. Gehl’s retirement on May 15, 2023. Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, upon his retirement with P10 Holdings and RCP Advisors 3, LLC, Mr. Gehl will be entitled to receive the following payments and benefits: (i) a severance payment of $1,025,000, of which $425,000 will be payable on his retirement and the remainder will be payable in twelve equal monthly installments; (ii) reimbursement for the cost of COBRA premiums for health insurance continuation

coverage for up to 12 months; (iii) release from all lock up restrictions with respect to any equity securities of the Company; and (iv) immediate vesting of any and all options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units granted to him and all carried interests in the investment vehicles of the “affiliated entities” (as defined in the Severance Agreement) granted to him. In consideration, Mr. Gehl will provide a full release of all claims against the Company and Affiliated Entities.

In connection with the Severance Agreement, the Company and the other parties to the Controlled Company Agreement anticipate entering into an amendment to the Controlled Company Agreement to remove the Jeff P. Gehl Living Trust dated January 25, 2011 as a party to the Controlled Company Agreement and the lock up restrictions contained therein.

The foregoing description of the Severance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Severance Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.
