NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. Organization and Description of Business

Cohen & Steers, Inc. (CNS) was organized as a Delaware corporation on March 17, 2004. CNS is the holding company for its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (CSCM), Cohen & Steers Securities, LLC (CSS), Cohen & Steers UK Limited (CSUK), Cohen & Steers Ireland Limited (CSIL), Cohen & Steers Asia Limited (CSAL), Cohen & Steers Japan Limited (CSJL) and Cohen & Steers Singapore Private Limited (CSSG) (collectively, the Company).
The Company is a global investment manager specializing in real assets and alternative income, including listed and private real estate, preferred securities, infrastructure, resource equities, commodities, as well as multi-strategy solutions. Founded in 1986, the Company is headquartered in New York City, with offices in London, Dublin, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The condensed consolidated financial statements set forth herein include the accounts of CNS and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results have been made. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC. The Company’s significant accounting policies, which have been consistently applied, are summarized in its Form 10-K.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. This new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The standard clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is (1) within the scope of Topic 718 or (2) not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. The guidance in ASU 2024-01 applies to all entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. This new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

5. Fair Value

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement specifies a hierarchy of valuation classifications based on whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used in each valuation classification are observable or unobservable. These classifications are summarized in three broad levels:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the investments.

Equity investments at fair value classified as Level 2 included common stocks, Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. (CNSREIT) and preferred securities, for which quoted prices in active markets are not available. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company deconsolidated CNSREIT and elected the fair value option to align the measurement of the seed investment and the related gains and losses with other seed investments. The Company's ownership interest was 49.4% at September 30, 2024. The fair value of this seed investment is based on the monthly published net asset value (NAV), which is an observable transaction price, however, shares are not actively traded as subscription and redemption activity happens monthly. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in gain (loss) from investments—net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Distributions from this seed investment are recorded in interest and dividend income in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations when earned. The unrealized gain on the seed investment in CNSREIT was $0.4 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Equity investments at fair value classified as Level 3 were comprised of limited partnership interests in joint ventures that hold investments in private real estate.
Trading investments classified as Level 2 were comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. Fair values were generally determined using third-party pricing services. The pricing services may utilize evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information.
Investments measured at NAV were comprised of certain investments measured at fair value using NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient including limited partnership interests in private real estate funds. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have the ability to redeem its interests in the majority of these investments.
Investments measured at NAV as a practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The amounts presented in the above tables are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Valuation Techniques
In certain instances, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from an orderly transaction between market participants provided by reputable broker-dealers or independent pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, independent pricing services may use information with respect to transactions in such investments, broker quotes, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. As part of its independent price verification process, the Company generally performs reviews of valuations provided by broker-dealers or independent pricing services. Investments in funds are valued at their closing price or NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient.
In the absence of observable market prices, the Company values its investments using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. For some investments, little market activity may exist; management's determination of fair value is then based on the best information available in the circumstances, and may incorporate management's own assumptions and involve a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration a combination of internal and external factors. Such investments are valued no less than quarterly, taking into consideration any changes in key inputs and changes in economic and other relevant conditions, and valuation models are updated accordingly. The Company has established a valuation committee, comprised of senior members from various departments within the Company, to administer, implement and oversee the valuation policies and procedures (the Valuation Committee). Additionally, the Company has retained an independent valuation services firm to assist in the determination of the fair value of certain private real estate investments.

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the total weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents determined using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are comprised of dilutive potential shares from restricted stock unit awards and are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Investment Performance at September 30, 2024
Investment graph930.jpg_________________________
(1)    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Outperformance is determined by comparing the annualized investment performance of each investment strategy to the performance of specified reference benchmarks. Investment performance in excess of the performance of the benchmark is considered outperformance. The investment performance calculation of each investment strategy is based on all active accounts and investment models pursuing similar investment objectives. For accounts, actual investment performance is measured gross of fees and net of withholding taxes. For investment models, for which actual investment performance does not exist, the investment performance of a composite of accounts pursuing comparable investment objectives is used as a proxy for actual investment performance. The performance of the specified reference benchmark for each account and investment model is measured net of withholding taxes, where applicable.

Based on independent rating by Morningstar, Inc. of investment performance of each Cohen & Steers-sponsored open-end U.S.-registered mutual fund for all share classes for the overall period at September 30, 2024. Overall Morningstar rating is a weighted average based on the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year Morningstar rating.

Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We seek to maintain a balance sheet that supports our business strategies and provides the appropriate amount of liquidity at all times.
Net Liquid Assets
Our current financial condition is highly liquid and is primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities, liquid seed investments and other current assets. Liquid assets are reduced by current liabilities (together, net liquid assets).
The table below summarizes net liquid assets:
(in thousands)September 30,
2024
December 31,
2023
Cash and cash equivalents$106,474 $187,442 
U.S. Treasury securities168,218 59,942 
Liquid seed investments—net73,706 71,375 
Other current assets82,481 73,360 
Current liabilities(84,883)(106,603)
Net liquid assets$345,996 $285,516 
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with major national financial institutions and include short-term, highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into cash.
U.S. Treasury securities
U.S. Treasury securities, recorded at fair value, are directly issued by the U.S. government and were classified as trading investments.
Liquid seed investments—net
Liquid seed investments, recorded at fair value, are generally traded in active markets on major exchanges and can typically be liquidated within a normal settlement cycle. Liquid seed investments are primarily securities held directly for the purpose of establishing performance track records and the Company's economic interest in certain consolidated investment vehicles which are presented net of noncontrolling interests.
Other current assets
Other current assets primarily represent investment advisory and administration fees receivable. At September 30, 2024, receivables from institutional accounts comprised 48.4% of other current assets, while receivables from open-end and closed-end funds, together, comprised 46.3% of other current assets. We perform a review of our receivables on an ongoing basis to assess collectability and, based on our analysis at September 30, 2024, there was no allowance for uncollectible accounts required.
Current liabilities
Current liabilities included accrued compensation and benefits, distribution and service fees payable, operating lease obligations due within 12 months, certain income taxes payable and certain other liabilities and accrued expenses.
Future liquidity needs
Our business has become more capital intensive. Potential uses of capital range from, among other things, seeding new strategies and investment vehicles, co-investing in private real estate vehicles, funding the upfront costs associated with closed-end fund launches and rights offerings, and making various investments to grow our firm infrastructure as our business scales. In order to provide us with the financial flexibility to pursue these opportunities, we have a $100.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on January 20, 2026. To date, we have not drawn on the credit facility.
31


On April 22, 2024, we issued 1,007,057 shares of common stock through an offering. The net proceeds, after deducting commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $68.5 million. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including seeding track record strategies and investment vehicles. The offering was completed on April 22, 2024 after the issuance of the shares.
We have committed to invest up to $50.0 million in Cohen & Steers Real Estate Opportunities Fund, L.P. (REOF) of which $21.7 million remained unfunded as of September 30, 2024. In addition, we have committed to invest $125.0 million in Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. (CNSREIT) of which $92.8 million remained unfunded as of September 30, 2024. There are contractual restrictions on redemption of our seed investments in REOF and CNSREIT.
Cash flows
Our cash flows generally result from the operating activities of our business, with investment advisory and administration fees being the most significant contributor.
The table below summarizes our cash flows:
Nine Months Ended

(in thousands)20242023
Cash Flow Data:

Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of the period189,603 248,714 
Cash and cash equivalents, end of the period$115,692 $135,629 
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $75.9 million, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate changes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Cash flows from operating activities primarily consisted of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $61.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net cash used in investing activities was $142.8 million, which included net purchases of U.S. Treasury securities held for corporate purposes of $106.8 million and the funding of $32.0 million of our $125.0 million commitment to CNSREIT. Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.1 million, including proceeds from issuance of common stock from offering of $68.5 million and net contributions from noncontrolling interests of $44.5 million, partially offset by dividends paid to stockholders of $89.2 million and repurchases of common stock to satisfy employee withholding tax obligations on the vesting and delivery of restricted stock units of $19.6 million.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations
The Company’s material contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies at September 30, 2024 include operating leases, investment commitments, and purchase obligations. As of September 30, 2024, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 other than the items described below.
Investment Commitments
We have committed to invest up to $50.0 million in REOF. As of September 30, 2024, we had funded $28.3 million of this commitment. In addition, we have committed to invest $125.0 million in CNSREIT. As of September 30, 2024, we had funded $32.2 million of this commitment.
Dividends
    Subject to the approval of our board of directors, we anticipate paying dividends. When determining whether to pay a dividend, we take into account general economic and business conditions, our strategic plans, our results of operations and
32


financial condition, cash flow and liquidity, contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, if any, by us and our subsidiaries and such other factors deemed relevant.
On November 7, 2024, we declared a quarterly dividend on our common stock in the amount of $0.59 per share. This dividend will be payable on December 2, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 18, 2024.
Critical Accounting Estimates
A complete discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no changes to the Company’s accounting estimates for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
33


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of our business, we are exposed to risk as a result of changes in interest and currency rates,
securities markets and other general economic conditions, including inflation, which may have an adverse impact on the value of our assets under management and our seed investments. The majority of our revenue is derived from investment advisory and administration fees, which are based on average assets under management. Accordingly, where there are changes in the value of the assets we manage as a result of market fluctuations our revenue may change.
The economic environment may also preclude us from increasing the assets we manage in closed-end funds. The
market conditions for these offerings may not be favorable in the future, which could adversely impact our ability to grow
the assets we manage. Depending on market conditions, the closed-end funds we manage may increase or decrease their leverage in order to maintain target leverage ratios, thereby increasing or decreasing the assets we manage and the associated revenue.
Seed Investments
Our seed investments include both liquid and illiquid holdings. Liquid seed investments are generally traded in active markets on major exchanges and can typically be liquidated within a normal settlement cycle. Illiquid seed investments are generally comprised of limited partnership interests in private real estate vehicles and our seed investment in CNSREIT for which there may be contractual restrictions on redemption.
Our seed investments are subject to market risk. We may mitigate this risk by entering into derivative contracts designed to hedge certain portions of our risk. The following table summarizes the effect of a ten percent increase or decrease on the carrying value of our seed investments, which are presented net of noncontrolling interests, if any, as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. This new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The standard clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is (1) within the scope of Topic 718 or (2) not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. The guidance in ASU 2024-01 applies to all entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. This new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Fair Value
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement specifies a hierarchy of valuation classifications based on whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used in each valuation classification are observable or unobservable. These classifications are summarized in three broad levels:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the investments.
The following tables present fair value measurements:

Equity investments at fair value classified as Level 2 included common stocks, Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. (CNSREIT) and preferred securities, for which quoted prices in active markets are not available. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company deconsolidated CNSREIT and elected the fair value option to align the measurement of the seed investment and the related gains and losses with other seed investments. The Company's ownership interest was 49.4% at September 30, 2024. The fair value of this seed investment is based on the monthly published net asset value (NAV), which is an observable transaction price, however, shares are not actively traded as subscription and redemption activity happens monthly. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in gain (loss) from investments—net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Distributions from this seed investment are recorded in interest and dividend income in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations when earned. The unrealized gain on the seed investment in CNSREIT was $0.4 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Equity investments at fair value classified as Level 3 were comprised of limited partnership interests in joint ventures that hold investments in private real estate.
Trading investments classified as Level 2 were comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. Fair values were generally determined using third-party pricing services. The pricing services may utilize evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information.
Investments measured at NAV were comprised of certain investments measured at fair value using NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient including limited partnership interests in private real estate funds. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have the ability to redeem its interests in the majority of these investments.
Investments measured at NAV as a practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The amounts presented in the above tables are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
Total return swap contracts classified as Level 2 were valued based on the underlying futures contracts or equity indices.
Foreign currency exchange contracts classified as Level 2 were valued based on the prevailing forward exchange rate, which is an input that is observable in active markets.

Valuation Techniques
In certain instances, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from an orderly transaction between market participants provided by reputable broker-dealers or independent pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, independent pricing services may use information with respect to transactions in such investments, broker quotes, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. As part of its independent price verification process, the Company generally performs reviews of valuations provided by broker-dealers or independent pricing services. Investments in funds are valued at their closing price or NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient.
In the absence of observable market prices, the Company values its investments using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. For some investments, little market activity may exist; management's determination of fair value is then based on the best information available in the circumstances, and may incorporate management's own assumptions and involve a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration a combination of internal and external factors. Such investments are valued no less than quarterly, taking into consideration any changes in key inputs and changes in economic and other relevant conditions, and valuation models are updated accordingly. The Company has established a valuation committee, comprised of senior members from various departments within the Company, to administer, implement and oversee the valuation policies and procedures (the Valuation Committee). Additionally, the Company has retained an independent valuation services firm to assist in the determination of the fair value of certain private real estate investments.
The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs approved by the Valuation Committee for Level 3 investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the total weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents determined using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are comprised of dilutive potential shares from restricted stock unit awards and are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. This new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The standard clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is (1) within the scope of Topic 718 or (2) not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. The guidance in ASU 2024-01 applies to all entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. This new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2025.
