Nov 03, 2017 6:00 AM

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ares Management, L.P. (NYSE:ARES) today reported its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

"Ares generated record levels of fee related and distributable earnings during the third quarter driven by continued strong growth in our management fees and the partial monetization of several successful investments," said Tony Ressler, Chief Executive Officer of Ares. “Our investment performance and platform expansion has contributed to our strong fundraising with more than $5 billion of inflows during the third quarter and over $16 billion over the last 12 months.”

“Our year to date double digit growth in our earnings and fee paying AUM metrics reflect our continuing strong business trends, including our ability to execute well in our core areas of fundraising, investing and harvesting gains,” said Michael Arougheti, President of Ares. “As a result, we believe we are building the foundation for future value creation for our clients and unitholders.”

Common Distribution

Ares declared a quarterly distribution of $0.41 per common unit, payable on December 1, 2017 to common unitholders of record at the close of business on November 17, 2017.

Preferred Distribution

Ares declared a distribution of $0.4375 per Series A Preferred Unit with a payment date of December 31, 2017 to preferred unitholders of record as of the close of business on December 15, 2017.
