Giving Back to Society - $74 million since IPO

Since our initial public offering in February 1999, our firm’s combined charitable donations total approximately $74 million, including $48 million through the shareholder designated charitable contribution (“SDCC”) program. Based on the program created by Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway, our corporate charitable giving is unique in that the recipients of GAMCO’s charitable contributions are chosen directly by our shareholders, rather than by our corporate officers. Since its inception in 2013, GAMI shareholders have designated charitable gifts to approximately 350 charitable organizations.

		September 30, 2023			June 30, 2023			$ Change				% Change
Investment advisory and incentive fees
Fund revenues		$	37,755		$	37,480		$	275			0.7	%

Total revenue		$	59,475		$	59,171		$	304			0.5	%

The modest quarter over quarter increase in revenues was primarily the result of higher average assets under management in Funds and Institutional Private Wealth Management offset by lower average assets under management in the SICAV.

Expenses

Total expenses		$	41,954		$	42,679		$	(725	)		-1.7	%

• Higher stock-based compensation expense ($0.4 million) for the third quarter, offset partially by lower salaries ($0.3 million), resulted in the slight increase in compensation expense.
