GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GAMCO Investors, Inc. (鈥淕abelli鈥�) (OTCQX: GAMI) today reported its operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Financial Highlights

Giving Back to Society - $80 million since IPO

Since our initial public offering in February 1999, our firm鈥檚 combined charitable donations total approximately $80 million, including $48 million through the shareholder designated charitable contribution program. Based on the program created by Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway, our corporate charitable giving is unique in that the recipients of Gabelli鈥檚 charitable contributions are chosen directly by our shareholders, rather than by our corporate officers. Since its inception in 2013, Gabelli shareholders have designated charitable gifts to approximately 350 charitable organizations.

The charitable giving program continues today with the creation of a private foundation, the Gabelli Funds Foundation, in September 2024. Headquartered in our office in Reno, Nevada, the charitable program was seeded with an initial contribution of $5 million.

Revenue

The year over year increase in Funds revenues was primarily the result of higher average assets under management. The Institutional and Private Wealth Management slippage in revenues was the result of lower equity assets at the beginning of the quarter, which are generally used to calculate the revenues. The decrease in distribution fees and other income was primarily the result of a decrease in equity mutual funds AUM that pay distribution fees.

Expenses

The lower compensation expense in the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the prior year quarter reflects $5.4 million of waived compensation partially offset by higher fixed compensation of $0.6 million and higher variable compensation of $0.8 million.

Operating Margin

The operating margin, which represents the ratio of operating income to revenue, was 32.5% for the second quarter of 2025 compared with 27.1% for the second quarter of 2024.

Non-Operating Income

Non-operating income increased $3.3 million for the quarter, reflecting the mark-to-market quarterly gain on our investment portfolio slightly offset by a decrease in interest and dividend income.

Other Financial Highlights

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 16.8% versus 17.4% for the second quarter of 2024.

Cash, cash equivalents, seed capital, and investments were $182.8 million with no debt at June 30, 2025.

The Gabelli Commercial Aerospace & Defense (GCAD) ETF 鈥� Up 22.7% For 2^nd quarter of 2025

Portfolio manager Tony Bancroft commented on several factors that impacted The Gabelli Commercial Aerospace & Defense (GCAD) ETF鈥檚 2^nd quarter 2025 performance:

• Sector Resilience Amid Tariff Pressures: 听The aerospace and defense sector maintained stability in Q2 2025, buoyed by a strong U.S. manufacturing base and consistent DoD demand, despite President Trump鈥檚 tariff policies creating modest cost pressures on imported materials like rare metals and electronics.
  
  
• Defense Budget Stability: The FY2026 defense budget of $893 billion, including $848 billion for the Pentagon, supports key holdings like Lockheed Martin and RTX, with increased investments in high-tech missiles, drones, and Indo-Pacific deterrence ensuring steady revenue streams.
  
  
• Commercial Aerospace Recovery: Robust air travel demand drove orders for fuel-efficient aircraft, benefiting Boeing, though its global supply chain faced minor tariff-related cost increases, partially offset by strong DoD contracts.
  
  
• Supply Chain and Cost Challenges: Tariff-driven risks, including potential supply chain disruptions and higher costs for specialized components, posed manageable near-term hurdles but could impact margins if trade tensions escalate.
  
  
• Long-Term Growth Outlook: Geopolitical tensions, military modernization, and sustained commercial aerospace demand, particularly in Asia and Africa, position the sector for multi-year growth, with GCAD鈥檚 holdings well-placed to capitalize on innovation and government-backed contracts.
  
  

Assets Under Administration

AUA on June 30, 2025 were $0.7 billion, a decrease of $0.5 billion, or 41.7%, from the $1.2 billion at March 31, 2025. The second quarter鈥檚 decrease includes the reclassification of Teton-Keeley Funds from AUA to AUM due to the partnership with Keeley for the management contracts of 4 open-end funds, that were previously administered by Gabelli.

Return to Shareholders

During the second quarter of 2025, Gabelli returned $3.5 million to shareholders in the form of the repurchase of 73,781 shares for $1.7 million at an average investment of $23.00 per share and a regular quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share totaling $1.8 million.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
These ETFs are different from traditional ETFs. Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. These ETFs do not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example:

• You may have to pay more money to trade the ETFs鈥� shares. These ETFs will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information.
• The price you pay to buy ETF shares on an exchange may not match the value of an ETF鈥檚 portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for these ETFs compared to other ETFs because they provide less information to traders.
• These additional risks may be even greater in challenging or uncertain market conditions.
• The differences between these ETFs and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about the ETFs undisclosed, these ETFs may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve the ETFs鈥� performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict the ETFs鈥� investment strategies, however, this may hurt the ETFs鈥� performance. For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of these ETFs, see the ActiveShares prospectus/registration statement.

You should consider the ETFs鈥� investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before you invest. The ETFs鈥� Prospectus is available from G.distributors, LLC, a registered broker-dealer and FINRA member firm, and contains this and other information about the ETFs, and should be read carefully before investing.

GCAD
Government aerospace regulation and spending policies can significantly affect the aerospace industry because many companies involved in the aerospace industry rely to a large extent on U.S. (and other) Government demand for their products and services.
