LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ares Management Corporation (NYSE:ARES) today reported its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2019.
“The third quarter represents our tenth consecutive quarter of sequential growth in assets under management, management fees and fee related earnings which illustrates our strong execution across our investing, capital raising and operating activities,” said Michael Arougheti, Chief Executive Officer and President of Ares. “We are well positioned to drive earnings growth and margin expansion through future deployment of over $24 billion of uninvested shadow AUM and our robust fundraising pipeline over the next 12-24 months.”
“Driven by our 22% year over year management fee growth and an expansion in our operating margins, our fee related earnings increased approximately 35% compared to the same period a year ago,” said Michael McFerran, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Ares. “At this point in time, we expect our monetization activity to accelerate which should drive realized income for the fourth quarter substantially higher compared to the third quarter.”

Ares declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share of its Class A common stock, payable on December 31, 2019 to its Class A common stockholders of record at the close of business on December 17, 2019.
