The Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the option of the holder. The Company determined that the Warrants are freestanding instruments indexed to its own common stock and meet the criteria for equity classification. Accordingly, the Warrants are recorded within additional paid-in capital and are not remeasured subsequent to issuance.
Pursuant to the waiver executed on August 5, 2025, the Warrants are not participating securities during the waiver period ending December 31, 2027 and are considered under the treasury stock method for diluted earnings per share when dilutive.

On June 10, 2025, the Company established the 2025 Incentive Plan (the “2025 Equity Plan”), under which various equity-based awards may be granted to directors, officers and other employees.

Non-Qualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”)
NQSOs generally have contractual terms offive toten years, and vest over three- orfive-year service periods. Certain awards include performance conditions in addition to service conditions, including awards that vested upon completion of the Company’s IPO.
For awards subject only to service conditions, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For awards subject to both service and performance conditions, compensation cost is recognized using a graded vesting attribution method when achievement of the performance condition is considered probable.
The following table summarizes NQSO activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026:
| Number of Options | Weighted-Average Exercise Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding as of January 1, 2026 | 4,245,335 | $12.01 |
| Granted | 142,890 | $17.38 |
| Exercised | — | $— |

|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding | $12.19 | 7.9 years | $33,228 |
| Exercisable | $17.84 | 7.8 years | $969 |

As of March 31, 2026, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested NQSOs was $2.2 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.9 years.
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)
RSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. Holders of unvested RSUs do not have voting rights and are not entitled to dividends prior to vesting.

- Earnings Per Share
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |

| (in thousands, except for share and per share data) | ||
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic, including participating securities | 48,066,667 | 41,743,062 |
| Weighted-average participating securities | — | (1,454,752) |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic | 48,066,667 | 40,288,309 |
| Dilutive effect of share-based compensation | 1,703,227 | 784,961 |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted | 49,769,894 | 41,073,271 |
| Earnings per share - basic | $0.53 | $0.20 |
| Earnings per share - diluted | $0.51 | $0.20 |
Common share and per-share data for prior periods have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the June 2025 reverse stock split and corporate conversion. Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
Unvested share-based payment awards, including restricted stock units and stock options, do not have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and therefore are not considered participating securities under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Such awards are included in diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method when dilutive and when applicable vesting or performance conditions have been satisfied as of the reporting date.
Effective July 1, 2025, pursuant to the Waiver described in Note 15, Stockholders’ Equity, the Company no longer allocates earnings to the warrants under the two-class method during the waiver period and instead considers the Warrants under the treasury stock method for diluted EPS when dilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately 0.7 million and 0.6 million NQSOs, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, all of the Company’s outstanding Warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The Warrants were out-of-the-money and ceased to be participating securities beginning July 1, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding Warrants were treated as participating securities and, accordingly, were not considered in the calculation of diluted EPS under the treasury stock method.
- Other Comprehensive Income
The following table summarizes the components of other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Unrealized gains (losses) arising during the period, pre-tax | $(11,355) | $(124) |
| Income tax benefit (expense) | 2,384 | 10 |
| Unrealized (losses) gains arising during the period, net of taxes | (8,971) | (114) |
| Other comprehensive (losses) income | $(8,971) | $(114) |
- Income Taxes
The Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method for calculating its tax provision in interim periods, which represents the Company's best estimate of the effective tax rate expected for the full year.
The Company’s effective tax rates were 20.6% and 20.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to non-taxable income attributable to pass-through investments, partially offset by non-deductible expenses.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. Among other provisions, the OBBBA modifies the timing of deductions for depreciation and certain other capitalized costs for tax purposes. The Company evaluated the provisions of the OBBBA and determined that, while the changes will affect the timing of certain tax deductions, the overall impact of the legislation is not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, $7.9 million of amounts due under the Tax Agreement were settled through the transfer of a portion of the Company’s investment interest in the Absolute Return Utility & Infrastructure Fund to ZFSG rather than through the payment of cash.
