Allamountsin U.S.dollars unlessotherwisestated

TORONTO, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Onex Corporation (TSX: ONEX) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Onex also released supplemental financial information for Convex Group Limited (“Convex”).

“Onex carried significant momentum into 2026 and we continue to make good progress on our strategic objectives,” said Bobby Le Blanc, CEO. “Convex delivered another strong quarter of underwriting profitability and net income and remains well positioned for continued growth in 2026.”

“Within Asset Management, following a strong period for Private Equity realizations last year, Onex Partners successfully closed on a $1.6 billion multi-asset continuation vehicle this quarter, delivering incremental return of capital and extending fee-generating assets. In Credit, the team’s continued focus on proactive and prudent portfolio management resulted in another solid quarter of activity and performance in Structured Credit, including $3 billion in CLO transactions.”

Convex Results

The fair value of Onex’ investment in Convex was $4.0 billion as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $158 million, or 4%, since the acquisition closed in February 2026.

This valuation of Convex is based on an assumed 2.0x price-to-tangible book value multiple, supported by Convex’ return on equity, earnings growth and continued market share gains. Going forward the business should benefit from prudent growth in asset leverage, investment portfolio yield improvement and operating leverage as the business continues to scale. At this valuation, the implied price to earnings multiples are 8.1x on an LTM adjusted net income basis as of March 31, 2026 and 10.0x on 2025 net income.

Additional key performance metrics for Convex include the following:

(i) Adjusted net income for the twelve months ended March 31 2026 excludes $41 million of one-time acquisition related costs (2025 – nil). Convex’ net income (loss) is calculated based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Refer to Onex’ Q1 2026 Interim MD&A and Q1 2026 Supplemental Information Package for further details concerning Convex’ performance metrics.

  • Gross premium written in Q1 2026 was $2.2 billion, an increase of 5% year-on-year. This growth rate is understated due to an elevated prior-year comparison in Q1 2025, which included reinstatement premiums that Convex received following the California wildfire event. Excluding these one-off premiums, underlying growth was 8%. Reinstatement premiums are paid by clients to restore coverage for a subsequent event following a major loss.

  • In Q1 2026, Convex generated adjusted net income of $106 million. Net income was negatively impacted by a $50 million unrealized mark-to-market loss on its fixed income investment portfolio amid rising interest rates due to the broader macroeconomic volatility. Excluding this non-operational accounting loss and one-time acquisition costs, Convex would have generated net income of $156 million.

  • Convex currently accounts for its investment portfolio on a mark-to-market basis but plans to transition to an available-for-sale classification, in-line with peers, to reduce non-operational earnings volatility.

  • In the twelve months ended March 31, 2026, Convex delivered adjusted net income of $827 million, a return on equity of 24%, achieving significant year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter growth.

Additional Recent Highlights

  • Onex had approximately $9.4 billion of investing capital(7) as compared with $8.7 billion at year-end 2025. Investing capital per share(8) was $122.45 (C$170.40) at March 31, 2026 ($124.70 or C$171.15 per share at December 31, 2025). Onex’ investing capital per share returned 5% over the last 12 months and declined 2% from year-end 2025 primarily due to the dilutive impact of issuing 7.5 million Subordinate Voting Shares (“SVS”) to AIG during the quarter in connection with the acquisition of Convex. Over the last five years, investing capital per fully diluted share has had a compound annual return of 10%.

  • Onex’ private equity investments generated net gains of $32 million or a 1% return during Q1 2026 (Q1 2025: $96 million or a 2% return). Investments in Credit strategies generated a net loss of $27 million or a loss of 3% during Q1 2026 (Q1 2025: net gains of $11 million or a 1% return), primarily driven by unrealized mark-to-market losses and credit market volatility in the quarter. Onex’ exposure to direct lending remains low, with less than 1% of its investing capital invested in direct lending strategies. Onex CLOs are well positioned, underweight AI-related exposure and remain top-quartile across broader credit risk metrics.

  • Onex Partners completed a $1.6 billion multi-asset continuation fund, that included investments in Fidelity Building Services Group, PowerSchool and Sedgwick. Proceeds to Onex from the transaction totaled $317 million, of which approximately 50% was received in March 2026 with the remainder to be received in March 2027. As General Partner, Onex Partners will manage the vehicle and receive a management fee and carried interest opportunity.

  • In May, Onex Partners announced the sale of Emerald Holding Inc., receiving full liquidity for its ownership stakes. Onex is expected to receive proceeds of approximately $230 million when the transaction closes in the second half of 2026.

  • Onex Credit raised or extended eight CLO transactions through April totaling $3.0 billion. Structured Credit generated $15 million of fee-related earnings in the quarter.

  • Total fee-generating capital was approximately $42.8 billion at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $43.9 billion), with Credit and Private Equity fee-generating capital of $30.2 billion and $12.6 billion, respectively (December 31, 2025 - $29.8 billion and $14.1 billion, respectively). Fee-generating capital in Private Equity decreased in the quarter primarily reflecting Onex Partners V’s realization of Convex.

  • Unrealized carried interest from funds managed by Onex totaled $377 million as of March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $404 million). There was $32 million of realized carried interest during the quarter, primarily from Onex Partners V in connection with the realizations of Convex and Fidelity BSG.

Onex’ cash and near-cash(9) balance was $398 million or 4% of Onex’ investing capital as of March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 – $2.1 billion or 24%). In April 2026, Onex made a partial repayment of its outstanding debt under its senior secured credit facility totaling $200 million. Following this repayment, Onex’ cash and near-cash balance was approximately $200 million, and Onex also has access to $600 million under its revolving credit facility.

Dividend Declaration

The Board of Directors has declared a first quarter dividend of C$0.10 per Subordinate Voting Share payable on July 31, 2026, to shareholders of record on July 10, 2026.

(7) Investing capital is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards. Therefore, it may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. The most directly comparable financial measure under IFRS Accounting Standards to investing capital is total assets. As of March 31, 2026, Onex’ consolidated assets were $10.2 billion (December 31, 2025 - $11.5 billion). Refer to the supplementary financial schedules in this press release for further details concerning investing capital, including a reconciliation of total assets to investing capital.
(8) Investing capital per share is a non-GAAP ratio calculated using methodologies that are not in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The presentation of this ratio does not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar ratios presented by other companies. Investing capital per share is calculated as investing capital divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding. The percentage changes in investing capital per share exclude the impact of capital deployed in Onex’ asset management segment, where applicable, and dividends paid by Onex. Refer to the glossary in Onex’ Q1 2026 Interim MD&A for further details concerning fully diluted shares.
(9) Cash and near-cash is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated using methodologies that are not in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The presentation of this measure does not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore might not be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other companies. The most directly comparable financial measure under IFRS Accounting Standards to cash and near-cash is Onex’ consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance, which was $116 million at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $1.3 billion).
