Quick Take

"The Wilen acquisition drove 50% growth in separate account fees, offsetting 16% decline in mutual fund revenues. Net income of $0.17 per share reflects controlled expenses and successful integration of acquired assets into the platform."

Executive Summary

Teton Advisors reported Q1 2025 results showing resilience despite market headwinds. Assets under management declined 6.9% to $1.259 billion from $1.353 billion at year-end 2024, driven by $29 million in net outflows and $65 million in asset depreciation. Total revenues remained stable at $2.5 million, up 0.4% year-over-year, as growth in separate account fees from the Wilen acquisition offset declining mutual fund revenues. The company's mutual fund AUM decreased 21.2% year-over-year to $750 million, while institutional and private wealth assets grew 21.5% to $509 million. Net income was $272,462 or $0.17 per share versus $298,161 or $0.18 per share in the prior year. The Wilen acquisition, completed in August 2024, added approximately $109 million in AUM and contributed meaningfully to separate account revenue growth. Operating expenses remained well-controlled, with compensation costs flat year-over-year. The company maintains a strong balance sheet with $22.3 million in cash equivalents.
