Bull points
- our revenue came in at a little under $241 million, an increase of 15.7%. That does not include any inorganic growth on the acquisitions that we have completed, which was about 4.5% better than what we had included in the projections that we had provided to the analysts.
- The financial performance was broad-based. If you look at the 10Q, you'll see that we were up across all four major areas of our tax service lines. All were up more than double digits, each at least 12% in growth.
- We had excellent growth in that area in the first quarter at 12.7%, a combination of some moderate improvement in productivity and also moderate improvement in pricing.
Bear points
- We are starting to get more traction in those areas, but as we had anticipated, we're going to lose money in both of those practices this year.
- 41.2 million of non-cash equity-based compensation expense associated with the equity granted in connection with the IPO and the reorganization. These expenses did not exist in the first quarter of 2025 when the firm was still privately held.
