The proxy highlights a major 2025 leadership transition in which co‑founder Navid Mahmoodzadegan became CEO on October 1, 2025 and founder Kenneth Moelis moved to Executive Chairman, supported by a Lead Independent Director structure and a seven‑member board, four of whom are independent.
The company reports 2025 adjusted revenues of $1.54 billion, up 28% from 2024, with 35% growth in M&A, a record year in Capital Markets, and about 510 basis points of adjusted pre‑tax margin expansion, contributing to 64% growth in adjusted EPS. Since its IPO, Moelis cites nearly threefold revenue growth, more than $3.0 billion of capital returned to shareholders, and cumulative total shareholder return of about 506% as of December 31, 2025.

For 2025, total annual compensation (excluding special awards) was $19.0 million for Executive Chairman Kenneth Moelis and $29.0 million for CEO Navid Mahmoodzadegan, with restricted equity representing 78% of named executive officer compensation and base salaries of $400,000.

Moelis & Company reported Q1 2026 revenues of $319.8 million, up 4% from $306.6 million a year earlier, driven mainly by higher average fees per completed transaction. Operating income rose to $40.5 million, a 10% increase, as compensation stayed roughly flat and non‑compensation costs rose with higher deal, technology and occupancy expenses.
Net income declined to $42.3 million from $53.8 million, largely because Q1 2025 benefited from a sizable tax benefit, while Q1 2026 recorded a tax expense. Basic EPS was $0.51 versus $0.68. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash fell to $153.7 million from $509.4 million at year-end 2025 after significant operating outflows, dividends and $117.3 million of share repurchases. The board also authorized a $300 million repurchase program and declared a $0.65 per‑share dividend payable in June 2026.
Moelis & Company reported first quarter 2026 revenue of $319.8 million, up 4% from a year earlier, driven mainly by stronger Private Capital Advisory and M&A activity.
