Frequently asked questions
What is Ares Management LP's revenue?
Ares Management LP's trailing twelve-month revenue is $5.91B, and consensus projects about $11.30B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is ARES?
In its most recent fiscal year, ARES ran a gross margin of 74.79%, an operating margin of 27.22%, and a net margin of 8.15%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does ARES generate?
ARES produced $3.19B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is ARES's balance sheet healthy?
ARES holds $1.50B in cash and equivalents against $11.30B in long-term debt, on $4.28B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
