(NASDAQ: VCTR) (“Victory Capital” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. “We delivered record levels of both long-term gross sales of $30.5 billion and long-term net flows of $11.7 billion for the quarter, representing an annualized organic growth rate of approximately 14%,” said David C. Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Year to date, our long-term net flows reached $15.4 billion, and we achieved record quarter-end total client assets of $355.5 billion. “The drivers of our record gross sales and net flows were broad-based. Our U.S. intermediary, U.S. institutional and international channels each generated positive long-term net flows. Net flows were positive across numerous asset classes, including fixed income, solutions and global equity, with contributions from multiple Investment Franchises and our Solutions Platform, driven by our VictoryShares ETF platform. Together, these results showcase the breadth and depth of our product set and distribution, which allows us to align with client demand across market cycles. “Investment performance remained strong during the quarter. As of September 30, 2026, 60%, 69%, 63% and 77% of our AUM outperformed benchmarks over the respective 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. In addition, 62% of our rated mutual fund and ETF AUM had an Overall Morningstar Rating of four or five stars. “We continued to deliver an industry-leading margin. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin was 53.5% for the quarter and 54.0% year to date. Our margin reflects the durability of our platform and the discipline we apply across every dimension of our business. “Our strong cash generation also supported meaningful capital return. During the quarter, we returned $81 million to shareholders, including $39 million to repurchase shares of VCTR common stock, with the balance paid as dividends. “In August 2026, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire First Eagle Investments. Acquiring First Eagle Investments is a transformational transaction that will add size and scale across our business and allow us to increase our distribution footprint inside and outside the United States. Additionally, it will add a differentiated global value multi-asset capability,

Our teams are deeply engaged in integration planning and working toward closing. We expect the transaction to close by the end of the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including certain regulatory approvals and client consents. “As always, we continue to focus on serving our clients, which is our top priority.” Due to rounding, AUM values and other amounts in this press release may not add up precisely to the totals provided.

4 AUM, Flows and Investment Performance At September 30, 2026, Victory Capital had total client assets of $355.5 billion, assets under management of $351.9 billion, and other assets of $3.6 billion. Total AUM increased by $9.4 billion to $351.9 billion at September 30, 2026, compared with $342.5 billion at June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to net inflows of $11.7 billion partially offset by negative market action of $2.2 billion. As of September 30, 2026, Victory Capital offered 187 investment strategies through its multiple autonomous Investment Franchises and Solutions Platform. The table below presents outperformance against benchmarks by AUM as of September 30, 2026. Percentage of AUM Outperforming Benchmark Trailing Trailing Trailing Trailing 1-Year 3-Years 5-Years 10-Years 60% 69% 63% 77% Third Quarter 2026 Compared with Second Quarter 2026 Revenue decreased 8.9% to $396.6 million in the third quarter, compared with $435.4 million in the second quarter, primarily due to the crystallization of certain annual fees received in the second quarter and changes in asset class and client mix, partially offset by higher average AUM over the comparable period. GAAP operating margin contracted by 980 basis points in the third quarter to 34.7%, down from 44.5% in the second quarter, due to a decrease in revenue and $16.2 million increase in acquisition-related costs as a result of the First Eagle Investments (“First Eagle”) transaction. Third quarter GAAP net income decreased 34.5% to $91.3 million, down from $139.4 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 10.7% to $163.2 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, in the third quarter, down from $182.9 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $30.6 million to $212.1 million in the third quarter compared to $242.7 million in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 230 basis points in the third quarter of 2026 to 53.5% compared with 55.8% in the prior quarter. Third Quarter 2026 Compared with Third Quarter 2025 Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026, increased 9.8% to $396.6 million, compared with $361.2 million in the same quarter of 2025 as a result of higher average AUM over the comparable period. Operating expenses were $258.9 million compared with $223.1 million in last year’s third quarter reflecting increases in variable operating expenses that rose as a result of higher average AUM and acquisition-related costs as a result of the First Eagle transaction, partially offset by a decrease in integration costs. GAAP operating margin contracted 350 basis points to 34.7% in the third quarter, from 38.2% in the same quarter of 2025. GAAP net income decreased 5.4% to $91.3 million in the third quarter compared with $96.5 million in the same quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income with tax benefit increased 15.5% to $163.2 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, in the third quarter, compared with $141.3 million, or $1.63 per diluted share in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 11.4% to $212.1 million, compared with $190.5 million in the same quarter of last year.

5 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 On April 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Amundi US and reintroduced the brand Pioneer Investments for the acquired business and investment products. Year-over-year results reflect the acquisition of Amundi US, which closed on April 1, 2025. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, increased 30.9% to $1.2 billion, compared with $932.0 million in the same period of 2025 as a result of higher average AUM over the comparable period. GAAP operating margin expanded 530 basis points to 40.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, up from 34.9% in the same period of 2025. The improvement was due to decreases in acquisition-related and restructuring and integration costs of $12.4 million and $18.6 million, respectively, primarily related to the acquisition of Amundi US in 2025 partially offset by higher variable operating expenses as a result of the higher average AUM and an expanded business. Nine months ended September 30, 2026 GAAP net income increased 57.8% to $342.8 million, up from $217.3 million in the prior period. Adjusted net income with tax benefit increased 37.9% to $499.3 million, or $5.99 per diluted share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $362.2 million, or $4.59 per diluted share in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 35.7% to $658.9 million, compared with $485.4 million in the same period of last year. Year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 190 basis points to 54.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared with 52.1% in the same period of last year. Balance Sheet / Capital Management The total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2026 was approximately $975 million.

Investment Performance and Fund Ratings We believe that investment performance can influence AUM growth, flows, and overall operational results. Management utilizes the percentage of AUM and the percentage of strategies outperforming benchmarks, together with the percentage of our rated mutual fund and ETF AUM and the number of our mutual funds and ETFs rated 4 or 5 stars overall by Morningstar, to evaluate the investment performance of our Investment Franchises, our Solutions Platform, and specific investment products. AUM measured versus benchmark on a one, three, five, and 10-year basis represents 90%, 89%, 85%, and 78% of Total AUM, respectively, as of September 30, 2026. Composites are calculated by asset weighting included accounts, using gross-of-fee, linked time weighted returns for each period. The composite return is then compared to the primary strategy benchmark. Composites without sufficient performance history are excluded from periods for which a full track record does not yet exist. Certain separate accounts are excluded where Victory Capital has determined, in accordance with its GIPS® Procedures, that inclusion would not be representative of the strategy's performance. As of September 30, 2026, of our 113 rated mutual funds and ETFs, 56 received 4 or 5 star Overall Morningstar RatingsTM, and 57 did not, representing 62% and 38% of rated mutual fund and ETF AUM, respectively. Funds not rated by Morningstar are excluded from the analysis. Not all asset classes considered are available to the general public and not all funds included have a history to be included in each period. Had fees not been waived and/or expenses reimbursed currently or in the past, the Morningstar ratings could have been lower. Ratings for other share classes not shown may be lower. Past performance is not indicative of future results and may not reflect an investor's experience.

20 Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures Victory Capital uses non-GAAP financial measures referred to as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to measure the operating profitability of the Company.

Tax Benefit of Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets Due to Victory Capital’s acquisitive nature, tax deductions allowed on acquired intangible assets and goodwill provide it with additional significant supplemental economic benefit. The tax benefit of goodwill and intangible assets represent the tax benefits associated with deductions allowed for intangible assets and goodwill generated from prior acquisitions in which the Company received a step-up in basis for tax purposes. Acquired intangible assets and goodwill may be amortized for tax purposes, generally over a 15-year period. The tax benefit from amortization on these assets is included to show the full economic benefit of deductions for all acquired intangible assets with a step-up in tax basis.
