Apollo Global and GlaxoSmithKline released their latest earnings reports before opening bell this morning. Apollo posted a wide miss with economic net income of 26 cents per share and revenue. Analysts had been expecting 34 cents per share in earnings and $286 million in revenue of $193.3 million.

Apollo Global posts loss in Private Equity
Apollo Global’s net income was 20 cents per share or $41.1 million, while its distributable earnings after taxes and related payables were 36 cents per share. Incentive business economic income was 6 cents per share.
The firm had $161.8 billion in assets under management at the end of the quarter and recorded $3.3 billion in capital inflows. Apollo invested $3.9 billion. The firm’s traditional private equity fund depreciated by 3.7% during the quarter, and management blamed “negative unrealized mark-to-market performance within the Incentive Business and a challenging market backdrop” for the economic loss of $6.8 million in the segment.
Apollo’s Credit business saw economic income rise to $112.75 million driven by higher earnings in the Management Business and higher income in the Other segment. The Real Estate Segment saw an economic loss of $768,000 driven by the Management Business but partially offset by an increase in economic income from the Incentive Business.
