Restricted Stock Subject Only to a Service Condition
We calculate compensation cost for restricted stock grants by using the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant, the number of shares issued and an adjustment for restrictions on dividends. This compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period, with adjustments for forfeitures recorded as they occur.
The following table details the status and changes in our restricted stock grants subject only to a service condition for the six months ended June 30, 2025:

Restricted Stock Subject to Service and Performance Conditions
Under the Plan, certain key employees were provided agreements for grants of restricted shares that vest over multiple year periods subject to achieving annual performance goals established by the Compensation Committee of Westwood’s Board of Directors. Each year the Compensation Committee establishes specific goals for that year’s vesting of the restricted shares. The date that the Compensation Committee establishes annual goals is considered to be the grant date and the fair value measurement date to determine expense on the shares that are likely to vest. The vesting period ends when the Compensation Committee formally approves the performance-based restricted stock vesting based on the specific performance goals from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. If a portion of the performance-based restricted shares does not vest, no compensation expense is recognized for that portion and any previously recognized compensation expense related to shares that do not vest is reversed.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. (“Westwood”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 12, 2001. Westwood manages investment assets and provides services for its clients through its subsidiaries, Westwood Management Corp., Westwood Advisors, L.L.C., Salient Advisors, L.P. and Broadmark Asset Management LLC, (referred to hereinafter together as “Westwood Management”), and Westwood Trust.
Westwood Management provides investment advisory services to institutional clients, a family of mutual funds called the Westwood Funds®, other mutual funds, individual investors and clients of Westwood Trust. Westwood Trust provides trust and custodial services and participation in self-sponsored common trust funds ("CTFs") to institutions and high net worth individuals. Revenue is largely dependent on the total value and composition of assets under management ("AUM") and assets under advisement ("AUA"), and fluctuations in financial markets and in the composition of AUM impact our revenues and results of operations.
Westwood Management is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Westwood Trust is chartered and regulated by the Texas Department of Banking.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and are presented in accordance with the requirements for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to a fair statement of our interim financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets have been reclassified to unclassified balance sheets to better reflect the nature of the Company’s operations. Prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements, and notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating results for the periods in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Westwood and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes
On January 1, 2025, ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), became effective and requires, among other things, greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and for paid income taxes to be disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 affects financial statement disclosure only, which is not required until year end 2025 and, as a result, does not affect our results of operations or financial condition.
Income Statement Reporting
In November 2024, The FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early

adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. We are in the process of analyzing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
3. REVENUE
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when the performance obligation (the investment management and advisory or trust services provided to the client) defined by the investment advisory or sub-advisory agreement is satisfied. For each performance obligation, we determine at contract inception whether the revenue satisfies over time or at a point in time. We derive our revenues from investment advisory fees, trust fees and other sources of revenues such as gains and losses from our seed money investments into new investment strategies. The "Other, net” revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are the unrealized gains and losses on our seed money investments, and our seed money investments are included in "Investments, at fair value" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advisory and trust fees are calculated based on a percentage of AUM or AUA, as applicable, and the performance obligation is realized over the current calendar quarter. Once clients receive our investment advisory services we have an enforceable right to payment.
Advisory Fee Revenues
Our advisory fees are generated by Westwood Management for managing client accounts under investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Advisory fees are typically calculated based on a percentage of AUM and AUA and are paid in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Advisory fees are paid quarterly in advance based on AUM on the last day of the preceding quarter, quarterly in arrears based on AUM on the last day of the quarter just ended or are based on a daily or monthly analysis of AUM for the stated period. We recognize advisory fee revenues as services are rendered. Since our advance paying clients' billing periods coincide with the calendar quarter to which such payments relate, revenue is recognized within the quarter and our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred advisory fee revenues. Advisory clients typically consist of institutional and mutual fund accounts.
Institutional investors include separate accounts of (i) corporate pension and profit sharing plans, public employee retirement funds, Taft-Hartley plans, endowments, foundations and individuals; (ii) sub-advisory relationships where Westwood provides investment management services for funds offered by other financial institutions; (iii) pooled investment vehicles, including collective investment trusts; and (iv) managed account relationships with brokerage firms and other registered investment advisors that offer Westwood products to their customers.
Mutual funds include the Westwood Funds®, a family of mutual funds for which Westwood Management serves as advisor. These funds are available to individual investors, as well as offered as part of our suite of investment strategies for institutional investors and wealth management accounts.
Arrangements with Performance-Based Obligations
A limited number of our advisory clients have a contractual performance-based fee component in their contracts, which generates additional revenues if we outperform a specified index over a specific period of time, and a limited number of our mutual fund offerings have fees that generate additional revenues if we outperform specified indices over specific periods of time. Performance-based fees are paid after the performance obligation has been satisfied.
The revenue is based on future market performance and is subject to many factors outside our control. We cannot conclude that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized will not occur during the measurement period, and therefore the revenue is recorded at the end of the measurement period when the performance obligation has been satisfied.
Trust Fee Revenues
Our trust fees are generated by Westwood Trust pursuant to trust or custodial agreements. Trust fees are separately negotiated with each client and are generally based on a percentage of AUM. Westwood Trust also provides trust services to a small number of clients on a fixed fee basis. The fees for most of our trust clients are calculated quarterly in arrears, based on a daily average of AUM for the quarter, or monthly, based on the month-end value of AUM. Since billing periods for most of Westwood Trust’s clients coincide with the calendar quarter, revenue is fully recognized within the quarter and our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred fee revenues.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING
We operate two segments: Advisory and Trust. These segments are managed separately based on the types of products and services offered and their related client bases. The Company’s segment information is prepared on the same basis that management uses to review the financial information for operational decision-making purposes.
The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of our segments based primarily on revenues. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of our segments on segment expenses so those have not been disclosed.
Westwood Holdings Group, Inc., the parent company of Advisory and Trust, does not have revenues and is the entity in which we record typical holding company expenses including employee compensation and benefits for holding company employees, directors’ fees and investor relations costs. All segment accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment balances that eliminate in consolidation have been applied to the appropriate segment.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding certain fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy for measuring fair value, as follows:
•Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets
•Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable
•Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs where there is little or no market activity
Our investments in InvestCloud, Vista, WEBs, the TXSE Group Inc ("TXSE") and Ridgeline, discussed in Note 5 “Investments,” are excluded from the recurring fair value table shown below because we have elected to apply the measurement alternative for those investments.
The following table summarizes the values of our investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis within the fair value hierarchy as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

The final payment for the revenue retention earn-out was made in 2025.
The June 30, 2025 contingent consideration fair value of the growth earn-out was valued based upon updated revenue growth projections following changes in asset values and revised asset flow expectations. The fair value of contingent consideration related to the growth earn-out is measured using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which considered assumptions including revenue growth projections, revenue volatility, risk free rates and discount rates. The projected contingent payment is discounted to the current period using a discounted cash flow model. Increases or decreases in projected revenues, probabilities of payment, discount rates, projected payment dates and other inputs may result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
The following table represents the range of the unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration classified as level 3, the weighted averages represent the output of the Monte Carlo simulation models:

|  |  |  | Range |  |
As of June 30, 2025: |  | Unobservable Input |  | Low |  | High |  | Weighted Average Rate
Growth earn-out |  | Discount rate |  | 6.5% |  | 7.0% |  | 6.8%
|  | Volatility |  | 1.6% |  | 11.6% |  | 6.6%

7. INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate differed from the 21% statutory rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 due to permanent differences related to executive compensation. Our effective income tax rate differed from the 21% statutory rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 due to permanent differences between book and tax restricted stock expense based on a decrease in our stock price between the restricted stock grant and vesting dates.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted into United States law. The OBBBA extends or makes permanent various tax provisions that were originally enacted in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and were set to expire at the end of 2025. We are in the process of analyzing the impact of the OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements.
8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income attributable to Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the effect of any dilutive shares of restricted stock granted to employees and non-employee directors.
There were approximately 0 and 6,000 anti-dilutive restricted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. There were approximately 10,000 and 13,000 anti-dilutive restricted shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share and share amounts):

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024

9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired assets over the fair value of the underlying liabilities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually, or between annual assessments if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not result in the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We completed our most recent annual goodwill impairment assessment during the third quarter of 2024 and determined that no goodwill impairment related to the Advisory or Trust segment was required. No goodwill impairments were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or June 30, 2024.
Goodwill balances were as follows (in thousands):

Balance at: |  | Trust Segment |  | Advisory Segment |  | Total
December 31, 2024 |  | $ | 16,401 |  |  | $ | 23,100 |  |  | $ | 39,501 |
June 30, 2025 |  | $ | 16,401 |  |  | $ | 23,100 |  |  | $ | 39,501 |

Other Intangible Assets
Our intangible assets represent the acquisition date fair value of acquired client relationships, trade names, non-compete agreements and internally developed software and are reflected net of amortization. In valuing these assets, we made
13

WESTWOOD HOLDINGS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued), (Unaudited)
significant estimates regarding their useful lives, growth rates and potential attrition. We periodically review intangible assets for events or circumstances that would indicate impairment. No intangible asset impairments were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or June 30, 2024.
Amortization expense, which is included in “General and administrative” expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $1.0 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
10. LEASES
On June 24, 2025, we renewed our office lease for approximately 30,000 square feet located in Dallas, Texas. This lease is expected to commence in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 for a term of 11.4 years. Our total obligation for the base rent will be approximately $8.7 million.
As of June 30, 2025 there have been no other material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our leases since December 31, 2024. For information regarding our leases, refer to Note 12 “Leases” in Part IV, Item 15. “Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Share Repurchase Program
As of June 30, 2025, shares up to a value of $5.5 million may yet be repurchased under our plan.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 86,346 shares of our common stock at an average price of $12.45 per share, including commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 million under our share repurchase plan.
12. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We evaluated (i) our relationship as sponsor of the Common Trust Funds (“CTFs”) and managing member of the private equity funds Westwood Hospitality, Westwood Technology Opportunities Fund I, LP and Westwood Energy Secondaries (collectively the “Private Funds”), (ii) our advisory relationships with the Westwood Funds® and (iii) our investments in InvestCloud, Vista, Zarvona Energy Fund GP and Zarvona Energy Fund II-A as discussed in Note 5 “Investments” (“Private Equity”) to determine whether each of these entities is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or voting ownership entity (“VOE”).
Based on our analyses, the CTFs, Private Funds, Zarvona Energy Fund II-A and WEBs (together the “Westwood VIEs”) are considered VIEs, and the Westwood Funds®, InvestCloud, Vista, Zarvona Energy Fund GP, TXSE and Ridgeline are considered VOEs (together the “Westwood VOEs”). We receive fees for managing assets in all of these entities commensurate with market rates. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we evaluated all of the Westwood VIEs and Westwood VOEs to determine whether or not we should consolidate the entities into our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the Westwood VIEs, we evaluated whether or not we qualify as the primary beneficiary based on whether we have the obligation to absorb significant losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and concluded that we do not qualify as a primary beneficiary for those entities. For the Westwood VOEs, we evaluated whether or not we own a controlling financial interest in the entities, and we concluded that we do not. Based on our analyses, we have not consolidated the Westwood VIEs or Westwood VOEs into our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods ending June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
We have not otherwise provided any financial support that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide and there are no arrangements that would require us to provide additional financial support to any of these entities. Our seed investments in the Westwood Funds® are accounted for as investments in accordance with our other investments described in Note 5 “Investments.”
We recognized fee revenue from the Westwood VIEs and Westwood VOEs as follows (in millions):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| June 30, 2025 |  | June 30, 2024 |  | June 30, 2025 |  | June 30, 2024

You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We are not obligated and do not undertake an obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise.
Overview
We manage investment assets and provide services for our clients through our subsidiaries, Westwood Management Corp., Westwood Advisors, L.L.C. and Salient Advisors, L.P. and Broadmark Asset Management LLC (each of which is an SEC-registered investment advisor and referred to hereinafter together as "Westwood Management") and Westwood Trust. Westwood Management provides investment advisory services to institutional investors, a family of mutual funds called the Westwood Funds®, other mutual funds, individuals and clients of Westwood Trust.
Westwood Trust provides trust and custodial services and participation in common trust funds to institutions and high net worth individuals.
Our revenues are generally derived from fees based on a percentage of AUM and AUA, and Westwood Management and Westwood Trust collectively had AUM of approximately $17.3 billion and AUA of approximately $0.9 billion at June 30, 2025. We have established a track record of delivering competitive, risk-adjusted returns for our clients.
With respect to most of our AUM, we utilize a "value" investment style focused on achieving superior long-term, risk-adjusted returns by investing in companies with high levels of free cash flow, improving returns on equity and strengthening balance sheets that are well positioned for growth but whose value is not fully recognized in the marketplace. This investment approach is designed to limit downside during unfavorable periods and provide superior real returns over the long term. Our investment teams have significant industry experience. Our investment team members have an average investment experience of over twenty years.
We have built a foundation in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support a much larger business and we have developed investment strategies that we believe will be sought after within our target institutional, wealth management and intermediary markets. Developing new products and growing the organization has resulted in our incurring expenses that, in some cases, have not yet generated significant offsetting revenues. We believe that investors will recognize the potential for new revenue streams inherent in these products and services; however, there is no guarantee that they will occur.
Revenues
We derive our revenues from investment advisory fees, trust fees and other revenues. Our advisory fees are generated by Westwood Management, which manages client accounts under investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Advisory fees are typically calculated based on a percentage of AUM and AUA and are paid in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Advisory fees are paid quarterly in advance based on AUM on the last day of the preceding quarter, quarterly in arrears based on AUM on the last day of the quarter just ended or are based on a daily or monthly analysis of AUM for the stated period. We recognize advisory fee revenues as services are rendered. Certain of our clients have a contractual performance-based fee component in their contracts, which generates additional revenues if we outperform a specified index over a specific period of time. We record revenue for performance-based fees at the end of the measurement period. Since our advance paying clients’ billing periods coincide with the calendar quarter to which such payments relate, revenue is recognized within the quarter, and our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred advisory fee revenues.
Our trust fees are generated by Westwood Trust pursuant to trust or custodial agreements. Trust fees are separately negotiated with each client and are generally based on a percentage of AUM. Westwood Trust also provides trust services to a small number of clients on a fixed fee basis. Trust fees are primarily calculated quarterly in arrears based on a daily average of AUM for the quarter. Since billing periods for most of Westwood Trust's clients coincide with the calendar quarter, revenue is fully recognized within the quarter, and our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred advisory fee revenues.
Our other revenues primarily consist of investment income from seed money investments into new investment strategies.
Employee Compensation and Benefits
Employee compensation and benefits costs generally consist of salaries, sales commissions, incentive compensation, stock-based compensation expense and benefits.
17

Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing costs relate to our marketing efforts, including travel and entertainment, direct marketing and advertising costs.
Westwood Mutual Funds
Expenses for Westwood mutual funds relate to our marketing, distribution and administration of the Westwood Funds®.
Information Technology
Information technology expenses include costs associated with proprietary investment research tools, maintenance and support, computing hardware, software licenses, telecommunications and other related costs.
Professional Services
Professional services expenses generally consist of costs associated with sub-advisory fees, audit, legal and other professional services.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses generally consist of costs associated with the lease of office space, amortization, depreciation, insurance, custody expense, Directors' fees, investor relations, licenses and fees, office supplies and other miscellaneous expenses.
(Gain) loss from change in fair value of contingent consideration
(Gain) loss from change in fair value of contingent consideration consists of fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration from our 2022 acquisition of Salient Partners, L.P. (the "Salient Acquisition"), with gains representing reductions in value and losses representing increases in value.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income primarily includes interest and dividend income on fixed income securities and money market funds.
Other Income
Other income primarily consists of income from the sublease of a portion of our corporate offices.
Firm-wide Assets Under Management
Firm-wide assets under management of $18.3 billion at June 30, 2025 consisted of $17.3 billion of AUM and $0.9 billion of AUA.
AUM increased $1.5 billion to $17.3 billion at June 30, 2025 compared with $15.8 billion at June 30, 2024. The average of beginning and ending AUM for the second quarter of 2025 was $17.2 billion compared to $16.0 billion for the second quarter of 2024.

NM Not meaningful
Three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to three months ended June 30, 2024
Total revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were higher than revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to higher average AUM.
Loss from change in fair value of contingent consideration. In 2024 we recorded a loss of $4.8 million upon remeasurement of contingent consideration due to positive changes in growth projections following asset appreciation and asset flows in the period.
Income tax provision. Our effective income tax rate differed from the 21% statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to permanent differences related to executive compensation. Our effective income tax rate differed from the 21% statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to permanent differences between book and tax restricted stock expense based on a decrease in our stock price between the restricted stock grant and vesting dates.
Six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to six months ended June 30, 2024
Total revenues. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were higher than revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to higher average AUM.
Information technology. Information technology costs for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $0.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to additional investment resource tools and software licenses.
Loss from change in fair value of contingent consideration. In 2024 we recorded a loss of $1.9 million upon remeasurement of contingent consideration from the 2022 Salient Acquisition primarily due to positive changes in growth projections and revised asset flow expectations.
Income tax provision. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 differed from the 21% statutory rate for 2025 due to permanent differences related to executive compensation. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 differed from the 21% statutory rate due to permanent differences between book and tax restricted stock expense based on a decrease in our stock price between the restricted stock grant and vesting dates.
Supplemental Financial Information
As supplemental information, we are providing non-GAAP performance measures that we refer to as Economic Earnings (Loss) and Economic EPS. We provide these measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, income (loss) attributable to Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. and earnings (loss) per share, which are reported on a GAAP basis. Our management and Board of Directors review Economic Earnings (Loss) and Economic EPS to evaluate our ongoing performance, allocate resources, and review our dividend policy. We believe that these non-GAAP performance measures, while not substitutes for GAAP income (loss) attributable to Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. or earnings (loss) per share, are useful for management and investors when evaluating our underlying operating and financial performance and our available resources. We do not advocate that investors consider these non-GAAP measures without also considering financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We define Economic Earnings (Loss) as income (loss) attributable to Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. plus non-cash equity-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and deferred taxes related to goodwill. Although depreciation on fixed assets is a non-cash expense, we do not add it back when calculating Economic Earnings (Loss) because depreciation charges represent an allocation of the decline in the value of the related assets that will ultimately require replacement. Although gains and losses from changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are non-cash, we do not add or subtract those back when calculating Economic Earnings (Loss) because gains and losses on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are considered regular following an acquisition. In addition, we do not adjust Economic Earnings (Loss) for tax deductions related to restricted stock expense or amortization of intangible assets. Economic EPS represents Economic Earnings (Loss) divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
The following tables (in thousands, except share and per share amounts) provide a reconciliation of income attributable to Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. to Economic Earnings (Loss) and Economic Earnings (Loss) by segment. We have included the tax impact of adjustments for all periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically we have funded our operations and cash requirements with cash generated from operating activities. We may also use cash from operations to pay dividends to our stockholders or for deferred contingent consideration payments. We had no debt as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The changes in net cash provided by operating activities generally reflect changes in earnings plus the effects of non-cash items and changes in working capital, including liquidation of investments used to cover current liabilities. Changes in working capital, especially accounts receivable and accounts payable, are generally the result of timing differences between collection of fees billed and payment of operating expenses.
We had cash and liquid investments of $33.1 million and $44.6 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash flow provided by operating activities was $2.4 million, which included net sales of investments of $8.0 million, reductions in compensation and benefits payable of $5.2 million and contingent consideration of $4.4 million following the final payment for the revenue retention earn-out. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash flow provided by operating activities was $11.7 million, which included net sales of current investments of $11.4 million, partially to pay compensation and benefits payable, and a reduction in compensation and benefits payable of $4.2 million.
Cash flow used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was related to the purchase of investments and internally developed software. Cash flow used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was related to the purchase of investments.
Cash flows used in financing activities of $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 reflected the payment of dividends, restricted stock returned for the payment of taxes and deferred contingent consideration payments. Cash flows used in financing activities of $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 reflected the payment of dividends, deferred contingent consideration payments, purchases of treasury stock and restricted stock returned for the payment of taxes.
Westwood Trust is required to maintain cash and investments in an amount equal to the minimum restricted capital of $4.0 million, as required by the Texas Finance Code. Restricted capital is included in "Cash and cash equivalents" and
22

"Investments, at fair value" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2025, Westwood Trust had approximately $11.9 million in excess of its minimum capital requirement.
Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including our results of operations, the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures or strategic initiatives, our dividend policy and other business and risk factors described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We believe that current cash and short-term investment balances plus cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet both the operating and capital requirements of our ordinary business operations through at least the next twelve months, however there can be no assurance that we will not require additional financing within this time frame. Failure to raise needed capital on attractive terms, if at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Critical and Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes in our critical or significant accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2024. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies and estimates that we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported consolidated results and require difficult, subjective or complex judgment by management is described under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
