Apollo Global Management, Inc. Files Form 8-K: Preliminary Q1 2026 Financial Estimates and Regulation FD Disclosure

Key Highlights for Investors

• Preliminary Financial Estimates Released Ahead of Quarterly Earnings: Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“Apollo” or “the Company”) and its subsidiary Athene have reported preliminary estimates for alternative net investment income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. These figures are being disclosed prior to the formal release of the Company’s Q1 earnings report and financial supplement, which are scheduled for May 6, 2026.
• Scope of Preliminary Disclosure: The preliminary estimates relate specifically to “alternative net investment income,” a key component of Apollo’s Spread Related Earnings. These earnings are used to assess the performance of the Company’s Retirement Services segment, and are central to the Segment Income measure, which management uses to evaluate operating segment performance.
• Nature of Preliminary Results: Apollo’s management emphasizes that these preliminary results are unaudited, have not been subject to review or compilation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and may differ—possibly materially—from finalized results. Investors should exercise caution and avoid drawing inferences about other financial or operating data not provided.
• Segments and Securities Overview:
  • Common Stock (APO): Listed on NYSE.
  • 6.75% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (APO.PRA): Listed on NYSE.
  • 7.625% Fixed-Rate Resettable Junior Subordinated Notes due 2053 (APOS): Listed on NYSE.

Details Investors Should Know

• Timing of Information Release: The Company’s decision to provide these preliminary estimates before its official earnings release is significant. The early disclosure may allow investors to recalibrate expectations ahead of the May 6, 2026, earnings announcement.
• Potential Price Sensitivity: The disclosure of alternative net investment income, a component closely tied to the performance of Apollo’s Retirement Services segment, could be viewed as price sensitive. Changes or updates to these metrics in the final earnings report could materially impact the stock price, especially if they differ from preliminary estimates.
• Risk Factors: Apollo specifically cautions that the preliminary financial data should not be seen as a substitute for GAAP-compliant financial statements, nor as indicative of future performance. Material adjustments may yet be required during the finalization of Q1 2026 financial statements.
• No Emerging Growth Company Status: Apollo has indicated it is not an emerging growth company under SEC rules, which has implications for its compliance obligations and the transition period for accounting standards.

Regulation FD Disclosure & Implications

Under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure), Apollo’s management has clarified that the information furnished in the 8-K is not deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor is it incorporated by reference in any other SEC filing unless expressly stated. This limits liability and underscores the preliminary nature of the estimates.

What Shareholders Should Watch For

• Final Earnings Release: The formal quarterly earnings announcement on May 6, 2026, will provide definitive financial results, including reconciliations and definitions of segment measures. Shareholders should compare these final figures against the preliminary estimates disclosed today.
• Potential for Material Adjustments: Due to incomplete financial closing procedures, actual results may differ substantially from preliminary estimates. Any such variance could affect share values.
