**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

Income Statement Reporting

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses* ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date* ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. We are in the process of analyzing the impact of this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software* ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 is intended to simplify the capitalization guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. We are in the process of analyzing the impact of this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interim Reporting

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, *Interim Reporting* ("ASU 2025-11"). ASU 2025-11 is intended to clarify the application of interim reporting guidance and to reorganize existing disclosure requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of analyzing the impact of this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

**3. REVENUE**

**Revenue Recognition**

Revenues are recognized when the performance obligation (the investment management and advisory or trust services provided to the client) defined by the investment advisory or sub-advisory agreement is satisfied. For each performance obligation, we determine at contract inception whether the revenue satisfies over time or at a point in time. We derive our revenues from investment advisory fees, trust fees and other sources of revenues such as gains and losses from our seed money investments into new investment strategies. The "Other, net" revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are the unrealized gains and losses on our seed money investments, and our seed money investments are included in "Investments, at fair value" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advisory and trust fees are calculated based on a percentage of AUM or AUA, as applicable, and the performance obligation is realized over the current calendar quarter. Once clients receive our investment advisory services we have an enforceable right to payment.

**Advisory Fee Revenues** 

Our advisory fees are generated by Westwood Management for managing client accounts under investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Advisory fees are typically calculated based on a percentage of AUM and AUA and are paid in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Advisory fees are paid quarterly in advance based on AUM on the last day of the preceding quarter, quarterly in arrears based on AUM on the last day of the quarter just ended, based on a daily or monthly analysis of AUM for the stated period, or based on committed or invested capital with respect to private capital funds. We recognize advisory fee revenues as services are rendered. Since our advance paying clients' billing periods coincide with the calendar quarter to which such payments relate, revenue is recognized within the quarter and our Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred advisory fee revenues. Advisory clients typically consist of institutional investors, mutual funds, ETFs, intermediary separately managed accounts ("SMA"), model-delivery SMA and private capital funds.

Institutional investors include separate accounts of (i) corporate pension and profit sharing plans, public employee retirement funds, Taft-Hartley plans, endowments, foundations and individuals; (ii) sub-advisory relationships where Westwood provides investment management services for funds offered by other financial institutions; (iii) pooled investment vehicles, including collective investment trusts; and (iv) managed account relationships with brokerage firms and other registered investment advisors that offer Westwood products to their customers.

Mutual funds include the Westwood Funds®, a family of mutual funds for which Westwood Management serves as advisor. These funds are available to individual investors, as well as offered as part of our suite of investment strategies for institutional investors and wealth management accounts.

**Arrangements with Performance-Based Obligations**

A limited number of our advisory clients have a contractual performance-based fee component in their contracts, which generates additional revenues if we outperform a specified index over a specific period of time, and a limited number of our mutual fund offerings have fees that generate additional revenues if we outperform specified indices over specific periods of time. Performance-based fees are paid after the performance obligation has been satisfied.

------

**WESTWOOD HOLDINGS GROUP, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued), (Unaudited)**

The revenue is based on future market performance and is subject to many factors outside our control. We cannot conclude that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized will not occur during the measurement period, and therefore the revenue is recorded at the end of the measurement period when the performance obligation has been satisfied.

**Trust Fee Revenues**

Our trust fees are generated by Westwood Trust pursuant to trust or custodial agreements. Trust fees are separately negotiated with each client and are generally based on a percentage of AUM. Westwood Trust also provides trust services to a small number of clients on a fixed fee basis. The fees for most of our trust clients are calculated quarterly in arrears, based on a daily average of AUM for the quarter, or monthly, based on the month-end value of AUM, and are paid monthly and quarterly in arrears. We recognize trust fee revenues as services are rendered. Since billing periods for most of Westwood Trust's clients coincide with the calendar quarter, revenue is fully recognized within the quarter and our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred fee revenues.

**4. SEGMENT REPORTING** 

We operate two segments: Advisory and Trust. These segments are managed separately based on the types of products and services offered and their related client bases. The Company's segment information is prepared on the same basis that management uses to review the financial information for operational decision-making purposes.

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of our segments based primarily on revenues. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of our segments on segment expenses so those have not been disclosed.

**Advisory**

------

**WESTWOOD HOLDINGS GROUP, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued), (Unaudited)**

Our Advisory segment provides investment advisory services to (i) corporate pension and profit sharing plans, public employee retirement funds, Taft-Hartley plans, endowments, foundations and individuals, (ii) sub-advisory relationships where Westwood provides investment management services to the Westwood Funds®, funds offered by other financial institutions and funds offered by our Trust segment and (iii) pooled investment vehicles, including collective investment trusts.

**Trust**

Westwood Trust provides trust and custodial services and participation in common trust funds that it sponsors to institutions and high net worth individuals. Westwood Trust is included in our Trust segment.

**Other**

The Other column below contains the entity in which we record typical holding company expenses, including employee compensation and benefits for holding company employees, directors' fees and investor relations costs, along with intersegment eliminations.

All segment accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment balances that eliminate in consolidation have been applied to the appropriate segment.

<u>Investments Under Measurement Alternative</u>

Our investments below represent equity interests in private companies without readily determinable fair values. The Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative of cost minus impairment, if any, adjusted for any observable price changes in orderly transactions for these investments. The acquisition cost of WEBs Investments Inc. ("WEBs") is allocated using the relative fair value method between preferred stock and a call option.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 , Vista Bancshares, Inc. was acquired by a third party, National Bank Holdings Corporation ("NBHC"). Following this acquisition we recognized a gain of approximately $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 upon liquidation of NBHC stock.

No impairments of these investments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or March 31, 2025. Balances are shown below (in thousands):

**6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS** 

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding certain fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy for measuring fair value, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs where there is little or no market activity

Our equity interests in private companies without readily determinable fair values are excluded from the recurring fair value table shown below because we have elected to apply the measurement alternative for those investments.

The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of the dates indicated, with the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

The final measurement date of the growth earn-out was in 2025 and the final payment for the revenue retention earn-out was made in the first quarter of 2025.

**7. INCOME TAXES**

Our effective income tax rate differed from the 21% statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 due to permanent differences related to executive compensation and the impact of state and local taxes.

**8. EARNINGS PER SHARE** 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income attributable to Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the effect of any dilutive shares of restricted stock granted to employees and non-employee directors.

There were approximately 11,000 and 20,000 anti-dilutive restricted shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share and share amounts):

---

**9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS** 

**Goodwill**

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired assets over the fair value of the underlying liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Changes in goodwill were as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Balance at:** | **Trust Segment** | **Advisory Segment** | **Total** |
| **December 31, 2025** | $16401 | $23100 | $39501 |
| **March 31, 2026** | $16401 | $23100 | $39501 |

---

Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually, or between annual assessments if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not result in the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We completed our annual goodwill impairment assessment during the third quarter of 2025 and determined that no impairment loss was required. No goodwill impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or March 31, 2025.

**Other Intangible Assets**

Our intangible assets represent the acquisition date fair value of acquired client relationships, trade names, non-compete agreements and internally developed software and are reflected net of amortization. In valuing these assets, we made significant estimates regarding their useful lives, growth rates and potential attrition. We periodically review intangible assets for events or circumstances that would indicate impairment. No intangible asset impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or March 31, 2025.

Amortization expense, which is included in "General and administrative" expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

**10. LEASES**

As of March 31, 2026 there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our leases since December 31, 2025. For information regarding our leases, refer to Note 12 "Leases" in Part IV, Item 15. "Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

**11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY** 

**Share Repurchase Program**

As of March 31, 2026, shares up to a value of $5.5 million may yet be repurchased under our plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of our common stock.

**12. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES** 

We evaluated (i) our relationship as sponsor of the CTFs and managing member of the private equity funds Westwood Hospitality, Westwood Technology Opportunities Fund I, LP, Westwood Energy Secondaries Fund I, Westwood Energy Secondaries Fund II, Westwood Energy Secondaries Co-Invest Fund II, Westwood Energy Secondaries Co-Invest Fund III and Westwood Energy Secondaries Co-Invest IV Fund (collectively the "Private Funds"), (ii) our advisory relationships with the Westwood Funds® and (iii) our investments in InvestCloud Inc. ("InvestCloud"), Vista Bancshares, Inc. ("Vista"), Zarvona Energy Fund GP, Zarvona Energy Fund II-A, WEBs Investments Inc. ("WEBs") and the TXSE Group Inc. ("TXSE") as discussed in Note 5 "Investments" to determine whether each of these entities is a variable interest entity ("VIE") or voting ownership entity ("VOE").

Based on our analyses, we determined that the CTFs, Private Funds, Zarvona Energy Fund II-A and WEBs were VIEs, as the at-risk equity holders do not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities' economic performance, and, while the Company and its representatives have a majority control of the entities' respective boards of directors and can influence the respective entities' management and affairs, the Company is not exposed to a majority of the economics of those entities and does not qualify as primary beneficiaries for those entities.

------

**WESTWOOD HOLDINGS GROUP, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued), (Unaudited)**

Based on our analyses, we determined the Westwood Funds®, InvestCloud, Vista, Zarvona Energy Fund GP and TXSE (i) have sufficient equity at risk to finance the entities' activities independently, (ii) have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to direct the activities of the entities that most significantly impact the entities' economic performance and (iii) are not structured with disproportionate voting rights and are VOEs. For the Westwood VOEs, we evaluated whether or not we own a controlling financial interest in the entities, and we concluded that we do not. Based on our analyses, we have not consolidated the Westwood VIEs or Westwood VOEs for the periods ending March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

We have not otherwise provided any financial support that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide and there are no arrangements that would require us to provide additional financial support to any of these entities. Our seed investments in the Westwood Funds® are accounted for as investments in accordance with our other investments described in Note 5 "Investments."

We recognized fee revenue from the Westwood VIEs and Westwood VOEs as follows (in millions):

While the company believes it fulfilled its fiduciary responsibilities as trustee, the parties entered into a settlement agreement in March 2026, providing for a full release of both parties and a settlement payment in the amount of $1.6 million (the "Settlement Amount"), included in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Settlement Amount was offset by approximately $0.6 million of related loss recoveries from the Company's directors and officers liability insurance policy with third parties, which was included as "Other assets" on our March 31, 2026 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company engages in transactions with its affiliates in the ordinary course of business. Westwood Management provides investment advisory services to the Westwood Funds®.

You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We are not obligated and do not undertake an obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise.

**<u>Overview</u>**

We manage investment assets and provide services for our clients through our subsidiaries, Westwood Management Corp., Westwood Advisors, L.L.C., Salient Advisors, L.P. ("Salient Advisors") and Broadmark Asset Management LLC ("Broadmark"), (each of which is a registered investment adviser ("RIA") registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and Salient Capital, L.P., ("SCLP") an SEC-registered broker-dealer and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") member, collectively referred to hereinafter together as "Westwood Management") and Westwood Trust. Westwood Holdings Group, founded in 1983, through Westwood Management, provides investment advisory services to institutional investors, a family of mutual funds called the Westwood Funds®, other mutual funds, individual investors and clients of Westwood Trust. Westwood Trust, founded as a state-chartered trust company in 1974, provides trust, custodial and investment management services through the use of commingled funds and individual securities to institutions and high net worth individuals.

Our revenues are generally derived from fees based on a percentage of AUM and AUA, and Westwood Management and Westwood Trust collectively had AUM of approximately $17.3 billion and AUA of approximately $0.9 billion at March 31, 2026. We have established a track record of delivering competitive, risk-adjusted returns for our clients.

With respect to most of our AUM, we utilize a "value" investment style focused on achieving superior long-term, risk-adjusted returns by investing in companies with high levels of free cash flow, improving returns on equity and strengthening balance sheets that are well positioned for growth but whose value is not fully recognized in the marketplace. This investment approach is designed to limit downside during unfavorable periods and provide superior real returns over the long term. Our investment teams have significant industry experience. Our investment team members have an average investment experience of over twenty years.

We have built a foundation in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support a much larger business and we have developed investment strategies that we believe will be sought after within our target institutional, wealth management and intermediary markets. Developing new products and growing the organization has resulted in our incurring expenses that, in some cases, have not yet generated significant offsetting revenues. We believe that investors will recognize the potential for new revenue streams inherent in these products and services; however, there is no guarantee that they will occur.

*Revenues* 

We derive our revenues from investment advisory fees, trust fees and other revenues. Our advisory fees are generated by Westwood Management, which manages client accounts under investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Advisory fees are typically calculated based on a percentage of AUM and AUA and are paid in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Advisory fees are paid quarterly in advance based on AUM on the last day of the preceding quarter, quarterly in arrears based on AUM on the last day of the quarter just ended or are based on a daily or monthly analysis of AUM for the stated period. We recognize advisory fee revenues as services are rendered. Certain of our clients have a contractual performance-based fee component in their contracts, which generates additional revenues if we outperform a specified index over a specific period of time. We record revenue for performance-based fees at the end of the measurement period. Since our advance paying clients' billing periods coincide with the calendar quarter to which such payments relate, revenue is recognized within the quarter, and our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred advisory fee revenues.

Our trust fees are generated by Westwood Trust pursuant to trust or custodial agreements. Trust fees are separately negotiated with each client and are generally based on a percentage of AUM. Westwood Trust also provides trust services to a small number of clients on a fixed fee basis. Trust fees are primarily calculated quarterly in arrears based on a daily average of AUM for the quarter. Since billing periods for most of Westwood Trust's clients coincide with the calendar quarter, revenue is fully recognized within the quarter, and our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred advisory fee revenues.

Our other revenues primarily consist of investment income from seed money investments into new investment strategies.

*Employee Compensation and Benefits*

------

Employee compensation and benefits costs generally consist of salaries, sales commissions, incentive compensation, stock-based compensation expense and benefits.

*Sales and Marketing*

Sales and marketing costs relate to our marketing efforts, including travel and entertainment, direct marketing and advertising costs.

*Westwood Funds*

Expenses for Westwood funds relate to our marketing, distribution and administration of the Westwood Funds***®*** mutual funds and Westwood ETFs.

*Information Technology*

Information technology expenses include costs associated with proprietary investment research tools, maintenance and support, computing hardware, software licenses, telecommunications and other related costs.

*Professional Services*

Professional services expenses generally consist of costs associated with sub-advisory fees, audit, legal and other professional services.

*General and Administrative*

General and administrative expenses generally consist of costs associated with the lease of office space, amortization, depreciation, insurance, custody expense, Directors' fees, investor relations, licenses and fees, office supplies and other miscellaneous expenses.

*Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on private investments*

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on private investments includes changes in the value of our privately held investments.

*Net Investment Income*

Net investment income primarily includes interest and dividend income on fixed income securities and money market funds.

*Other Income*

Other income primarily consists of income from the sublease of a portion of our corporate offices.

**<u>Firm-wide Assets Under Management</u>**

Firm-wide assets under management of $18.3 billion at March 31, 2026 consisted of $17.3 billion of AUM and $0.9 billion of AUA.

AUM increased $0.3 billion to $17.3 billion at March 31, 2026 compared with $17.0 billion at March 31, 2025. The average of beginning and ending AUM ("average AUM") for the first quarter of 2026 was $16.9 billion compared to $16.8 billion for the first quarter of 2025.

_________________________

NM&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not meaningful

***Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to three months ended March 31, 2025***

*Total revenues*. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were higher than revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to higher average AUM and growth from our ETFs and private energy secondaries funds.

------

*Employee compensation and benefits*. Employee compensation and benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased compared to the three months March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs.

*Professional services*. Professional services costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to additional legal expenses.

*Realized gains on private investments*. Realized gains on private investments related to our first quarter 2026 sale of NBHC stock.

*Income tax provision*. Our effective income tax rate differed from the 21% statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 due to permanent differences related to executive compensation and the impact of state and local taxes.

**<u>Supplemental Financial Information</u>**

As supplemental information, we are providing non-GAAP performance measures that we refer to as Economic Earnings and Economic EPS. We provide these measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, income attributable to Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. and earnings per share, which are reported on a GAAP basis. Our management and Board of Directors review Economic Earnings and Economic EPS to evaluate our ongoing performance, allocate resources, and review our dividend policy. We believe that these non-GAAP performance measures, while not substitutes for GAAP income attributable to Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. or earnings per share, are useful for management and investors when evaluating our underlying operating and financial performance and our available resources. We do not advocate that investors consider these non-GAAP measures without also considering financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We define Economic Earnings as income attributable to Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. plus non-cash equity-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and deferred taxes related to goodwill. Although depreciation on fixed assets is a non-cash expense, we do not add it back when calculating Economic Earnings because depreciation charges represent an allocation of the decline in the value of the related assets that will ultimately require replacement. Although gains and losses from changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are non-cash, we do not add or subtract those back when calculating Economic Earnings because gains and losses on changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are considered regular following an acquisition. In addition, we do not adjust Economic Earnings for tax deductions related to restricted stock expense or amortization of intangible assets. Economic EPS represents Economic Earnings divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

The following tables (in thousands, except share and per share amounts) provide a reconciliation of income attributable to Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. to Economic Earnings and Economic Earnings by segment. We have included the tax impact of adjustments for all periods presented.

**<u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**

Historically we have funded our operations and cash requirements with cash generated from operating activities. We may also use cash from operations to pay dividends to our stockholders, for deferred contingent consideration payments, or for providing seed capital for certain investments. We had no debt as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The changes in net cash provided by operating activities generally reflect changes in earnings plus the effects of non-cash items and changes in working capital, including liquidation of investments used to cover current liabilities. Changes in working capital, especially accounts receivable and accounts payable, are generally the result of timing differences between collection of fees billed and payment of operating expenses.

We had cash and liquid investments of $34.2 million and $44.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash flow used in operating activities included net sales of equity investments of $6.1 million and reductions in compensation and benefits payable of $9.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash flow used in operating activities was $4.9 million, which included net sales of investments of $8.0 million and reductions in compensation and benefits payable of $8.5 million and contingent consideration of $4.4 million following the final payment for the revenue retention earn-out.

Cash flow provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was related to the net sales of investments, return of capital from investments and purchases of property and equipment. Cash flow used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was related to the purchase of investments and internally developed software.

Cash flows used in financing activities of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflected the payment of dividends and restricted stock returned for the payment of taxes. Cash flows used in financing activities of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflected the payment of dividends, deferred contingent consideration payments and restricted stock returned for the payment of taxes.

Westwood Trust is required to maintain cash and investments in an amount equal to the minimum restricted capital of $4.0 million, as required by the Texas Finance Code. Restricted capital is included in "Cash and cash equivalents" and

------

"Investments, at fair value" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2026, Westwood Trust had approximately $8.8 million in excess of its minimum capital requirement.

Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including our results of operations, the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures or strategic initiatives, our dividend policy and other business and risk factors described under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. We believe that current cash and short-term investment balances plus cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet both the operating and capital requirements of our ordinary business operations through at least the next twelve months, however there can be no assurance that we will not require additional financing within this time frame. Failure to raise needed capital on attractive terms, if at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**<u>Critical and Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates</u>**

There have been no significant changes in our critical or significant accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2025. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies and estimates that we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported consolidated results and require difficult, subjective or complex judgment by management is described under "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
