The Asia Pacific Group reported revenue of $41.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $8.7 million compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter.

Corporate & Other reported operating expenses of $14.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $37.2 million of operating expenses reported in the prior year’s fourth quarter.
