New mandates were $0.6 billion, primarily from Equity strategies. ◦ Private Markets AUM of $22.3 billion increased by $0.1 billion or 0.5%, reflecting a positive market impact of $0.2 billion and net organic growth of $0.1 billion, largely offset by income distributions of $0.1 billion and return of capital of $0.1 billion. ◦ Despite an increase in ending AUM from the prior quarter, average AUM of $162.3 billion decreased $1.0 billion or 0.6% due to the timing of market impacts in both quarters.
Page 3
Page 3 • Excluding the wind down of the Canadian Equity Small Cap Core strategy in the first quarter, which reduced AUM by $0.7 billion, total AUM was flat compared to December 31, 2025 as net outflows from Public Markets of $8.9 billion were offset by a favourable market and foreign exchange impact. ◦ Public Markets AUM, excluding sub-advised AUM, increased $2.2 billion or 2.0%, reflecting a favourable market and foreign exchange impact, partly offset by net outflows of $3.0 billion and the wind down of the Canadian Equity Small Cap Core strategy. ◦ Private Markets AUM increased by $0.3 billion or 1.4%, reflecting a positive market and foreign exchange impact and nominal net inflows. Second Quarter Financial Highlights • Revenues of $155.1 million increased by $1.8 million or 1.2% compared to Q1 2026, primarily due to higher commitment and transaction fees and performance fees recognized in Private Markets in the current quarter, partly offset by lower base management fees from Public Markets, primarily from sub-advised AUM. Revenues decreased by $7.9 million or 4.8% compared to Q2 2025, primarily due to lower base management fees in Public Markets, mostly from sub-advised AUM, lower share of earnings in joint ventures and associates, and lower commitment and transaction fees. • SG&A expense, excluding share-based compensation, of $113.1 million increased $2.5 million or 2.2% compared to Q1 2026. The increase was primarily due to higher employee compensation expense mainly related to the timing of variable compensation costs. This was partly offset by lower sub- advisory fees and professional fees. SG&A expense, excluding share -based compensation, decreased $4.2 million or 3.6% compared to Q2 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee compensation costs from continued cost optimization efforts, and lower sub-advisory fees. • Adjusted EBITDA of $42.0 million decreased by $0.7 million or 1.6% compared to Q1 2026 due to higher SG&A expense, excluding share -based compensation, largely offset by higher revenues. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $3.7 million or 8.1% compared to Q2 2025, due to lower revenues, partly offset by lower SG&A expense, excluding share-based compensation. • Adjusted net earnings of $23.9 million increased by $0.4 million or 1.7% compared to Q1 2026, primarily due to higher revenues and lower income tax expenses, largely offset by higher SG&A expense, excluding share-based compensation. Adjusted net earnings decreased by $3.3 million or 12.1% compared to Q2 2025, primarily due to lower revenues, partly offset by lower SG&A expense, excluding share- based compensation, and lower interest on long- term debt and debentures, excluding effective interest on debentures. • Net earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders of $3.5 million increased by $0.7 million or 25.0% compared to Q1 2026, primarily due to higher revenues and lower restructuring, acquisition related and other costs, partly offset by higher SG&A expense, and higher other expenses. Net earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders decreased $0.3 million or 7.9% compared to Q2 2025, as lower revenues were offset by lower SG&A expense, lower restructuring acquisition related and other costs and lower interest on long- term debt and debentures. • LTM free cash flow of $92.9 million decreased by $2.7 million or 2.8% compared to Q1 2026. The decrease was primarily due to lower distributions received from joint ventures and associates and
Page 4
Page 4 higher dividends paid to non-controlling interest, partly offset by lower interest paid on long-term debt and debentures. LTM free cash flow increased by $17.6 million or 23.4% compared to Q2 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher net cash generated from operating activities, combined with lower interest paid on long-term debt and debentures and lower lease payments. • Net debt increased by $23 million during the quarter to $723 million at the end of Q2 2026, and Net debt ratio increased to 3.8x from 3.6x over the same period. Net debt increased by $11 million compared to the end of Q2 2025, and Net debt ratio increased to 3.8x from 3.7x over the same period. • The Company purchased and cancelled 134,100 Class A subordinate voting shares (the “Class A Shares”) for total consideration of $0.7 million. Year-to-Date Financial Highlights • Revenues of $308.5 million decreased by $17.3 million or 5.3% from the corresponding period of 2025, primarily due to lower base management fees in Public Markets, lower share of earnings in joint ventures and associates, and lower commitment and transaction fees. • SG&A expense, excluding share-based compensation, of $223.7 million decreased $13.1 million or 5.5% from the corresponding period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee compensation costs related to continued cost optimization efforts, in addition to lower sub-advisory fees. • Adjusted EBITDA of $84.7 million decreased by $4.4 million or 4.9% from the corresponding period of 2025, primarily due to lower revenues, partly offset by lower SG&A expense, excluding share-based compensation. • Adjusted net earnings of $47.4 million decreased by $5.2 million or 9.9% from the corresponding period of 2025, primarily due to lower revenues and higher income tax expense, partly offset by lower SG&A expense and lower interest on long-term debt and debentures. • Net earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders of $6.4 million decreased $19.1 million or 74.9% from the corresponding period of 2025. Prior year results included a $12.7 million gain on revaluation of an investment related to the acquisition of a controlling interest in a real estate investment platform. In addition, lower revenues, higher restructuring, acquisition related and other costs and unfavourable balance sheet foreign exchange revaluation losses were partly offset by lower SG&A expense and lower interest on long-term debt and debentures. • The Company purchased and cancelled 691,605 Class A Shares for total consideration of $3.9 million. Subsequent Events Dividend Declared On August 6, 2026, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) declared a quarterly dividend of $0.108 per Class A Share and Class B special voting share, payable on September 17, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 20, 2026. The dividend is an eligible dividend for income tax purposes.

Page 5 Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) The Company announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) approved the renewal of the Company’s NCIB to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 4,000,000 Class A Shares over the twelve-month period commencing on August 16, 2026 and ending no l ater than August 15, 2027, and representing approximately 4.6% of its 86,518,831 issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at August 3, 2026 (the “Renewed NCIB”). Under the NCIB that will expire August 15, 2026, and pursuant to which the Company was authorized to purchase up to 4,000,000 Class A Shares, Fiera Capital purchased and cancelled 691,605 shares at a weighted average purchase price per security of $5.63 for total consideration of $3.9 million. Purchases were effected through the facilities of the TSX and through Canadian alternative trading systems. Purchases under the Renewed NCIB will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and through Canadian alternative trading systems, as well as outside the facilities of the TSX pursuant to exemptions available under applicable securities legislation or exemption orders issued by securities regulatory authorities. The price that the Company will pay for the Class A Shares purchased under the Renewed NCIB will be the market price of such shares at the time of the acquisition as per the requirements of the market where the trade is made and applicable securities laws, except for purchases effected outside the facilities of the TSX pursuant to exemptions available under applicable securities legislation or exemption orders issued by securities regulatory authorities, which will be at a discount to the prevailing market price. The Board believes that the repurchase of Class A Shares, which the Company may carry out from time to time during the Renewed NCIB, represents a responsible investment and that the Renewed NCIB provides the Company with the flexibility to purchase Class A Shares as it considers advisable. Security holders may obtain a copy of the “Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid” filed with the TSX, without charge, by written request addressed to: Corporate Secretary, Fiera Capital Corporation, 1981 McGill College Avenue, Suite 1500, Montréal, Québec, H3A 0H5. The average daily trading volume (the “ADTV”) of the Class A Shares over the last six complete calendar months was 291,053 Class A Shares. Accordingly, under TSX rules and policies, Fiera Capital is entitled on any trading day to purchase on the TSX up to 72,763 Class A Shares. Fiera Capital may also purchase, once a week and in excess of the foregoing daily repurchase limit of 25% of the ADTV, blocks of Class A Shares that are not owned by any insiders, in accordance with the TSX rules and policies.

Footnotes 1 AUM is defined as the total market value of all assets managed or sub -advised by the Company, including strategies offered to Fiera Capital’s clients but managed by third parties. For an explanation of the composition of AUM, please refer to the section entitled “Results from Operations and Overall Performance – AUM and Revenues" of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the Three and Six-Month Periods ended June 30, 2026. 2 Attributable to the Company’s shareholders. 3 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net earnings, Adjusted EPS (basic and diluted), Free cash flow, LTM free cash flow, Net debt and Net debt ratio are non -IFRS measures. Refer to the “Non-IFRS Measures” section of this press release. 4 Net Organic Growth represents the sum of new mandates, lost mandates and net contributions. 5 Market and Other includes the impact of market changes, income distributions and foreign exchange. 6 Relates to the wind down of the Canadian Equity Small Cap Core strategy in Q1 2026. Non-IFRS Measures Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net earnings, Adjusted EPS (basic and diluted), Free cash flow, Last Twelve Months (“LTM”) free cash flow, Net debt and Net debt ratio are not standardized measures prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We have included non- IFRS measures to provide
Page 7
Page 7 investors with supplemental measures of our operating and financial performance. We believe non-IFRS measures are important supplemental metrics of operating and financial performance because they highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. Securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers, many of which present non-IFRS measures when reporting their results. Management also uses non- IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating and financial performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual budgets and to assess its ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. For a description of the Company's non -IFRS Measures, please refer to page 50 of the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the Three and Six-Month Periods ended June 30, 2026 which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Forward- looking statements may include comments on Fiera Capital’s objectives, strategies to achieve these objectives, expected financial results or dividends, and the outlook for the Company’s businesses, as well as for the Canadian, American, European, Asian and other global economies. Such forward-looking statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on factors and assumptions it considers to be reasonable based on information currently available to management. These forward- looking statements may typically be identified by words or expressions such as “assumption”, “continue”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “goal”, “guidance”, “likely”, “plan”, “objective”, “outlook”, “potential”, “foresee”, “project”, “strategy”, “target”, and other similar words or expressions or future or conditional verbs (including in their negative form) such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “expect”, “foresee”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “predict”, “seek”, “should”, “strive” and “would”. Forward-looking statements, by their very nature, are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties and are based on several assumptions, which makes it possible for actual results or events to differ materially from management’s expectations and that predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations, conclusions or statements will not prove to be accurate. As a result, the Company does not guarantee that any forward-looking statement will materialize and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
