Negative

First quarter revenues of $149 million were down 30% from the previous year's record first quarter, reflecting a challenging revenue environment.
The adjusted compensation margin was 79% of revenues, above the intended 67%, due to a lower revenue denominator and higher non-bonus compensation base.
Restructuring and liability management revenue contribution softened compared to a record 2025, indicating a slowdown in these areas.
The M&A market is experiencing extended deal timelines due to macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, affecting transaction completion times.
