NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PREPARATION.

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. derives its consolidated revenues and net income primarily from investment advisory services that its subsidiaries provide to individual and institutional investors that invest in a broad range of investment solutions across equity, fixed income, multi-asset, and alternative capabilities. We also provide certain investment advisory clients with related administrative services, including distribution, mutual fund transfer agent, accounting, and shareholder services; participant recordkeeping and transfer agent services for defined contribution retirement plans; brokerage; trust services; and non-discretionary advisory services.

The investment solutions are provided in a number of vehicles including the T. Rowe Price U.S. mutual funds ("U.S. mutual funds"), subadvised funds, separately managed accounts, collective investment trusts, exchange-traded funds, and other sponsored products. The other sponsored products include: open-ended investment products offered to investors outside the U.S., products offered through variable annuity life insurance plans in the U.S., affiliated private investment funds, business development companies, an interval fund, and collateralized loan obligations.

Investment advisory fees depend largely on the total value and composition of assets under our management. Accordingly, fluctuations in financial markets and in the composition of assets under management impact our revenues and results of operations.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require the use of estimates and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of our results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Actual results may vary from our estimates. We are reporting performance-based advisory fees in a separate line of the consolidated income statement to increase transparency, therefore, investment advisory fees for prior periods were recast to reflect the new presentation and ensure comparability.

The unaudited financial information contained in these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2024 Annual Report.

NEWLY ENACTED U.S. LEGISLATION.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA contains significant changes and modifications to federal and international tax provisions including 100% bonus depreciation and domestic research cost expensing. We continue evaluating the impact of the legislation on our estimated annual effective tax rate. We believe that the impact of the OBBBA’s provisions will not be material to our financial position and results of operations.

NEWLY ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This amendment is effective for our 2025 annual disclosures. The additional disclosure requirements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03 - Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-4): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosures of additional information and disaggregation of certain expenses included in the income statement. The guidance is effective for the firm on January 1, 2027, and allows for either a prospective or retrospective approach on adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on our financial statements and have not yet determined our transition approach.

Page 8

We have considered all other newly issued accounting guidance that is applicable to our operations and the preparation of our unaudited consolidated statements, including those we have not yet adopted. We do not believe that any such guidance has or will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2 – INFORMATION ABOUT RECEIVABLES, REVENUES, AND SERVICES.

U.S. Treasury note1.01.0
Total$3,417.4$3,000.5

The investment partnerships held at fair value are valued using net asset value (“NAV”) per share as a practical expedient. Our interests in these partnerships are generally not redeemable and are subject to significant transferability restrictions. The underlying investments of these partnerships have contractual terms through 2029, though we may receive distributions of liquidating assets over a longer term. The investment strategies of these partnerships include growth equity, buyout, venture capital, and real estate.

During the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2025, net gains on investments included $80.8 million and $165.9 million, respectively, of net unrealized gains related to investments carried at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2025. For the same periods of 2024, net gains on investments included $44.3 million and $129.3 million, respectively, of net unrealized gains related to investments carried at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, certain T. Rowe Price investment products in which we provided initial seed capital at the time of formation were deconsolidated, as we no longer had a controlling interest. Depending on our ownership interest, we report our residual interests in these T. Rowe Price investment products as either an equity method investment or an investment held at fair value. The net impact on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of income as of the dates the products were deconsolidated is detailed below.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES.

Our fair value and equity method investments at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include interests in variable interest entities that we do not consolidate as we are not deemed the primary beneficiary. Our maximum risk of loss related to our involvement with these entities is as follows:

(in millions)9/30/202512/31/2024
Investment carrying values$1,040.2$955.9
Unfunded capital commitments221.4202.5
Accounts receivable94.996.2
$1,356.5$1,254.6

We have unfunded capital commitments, totaling $221.4 million at September 30, 2025 and $202.5 million at December 31, 2024, related primarily to the affiliated private investment funds and the investment partnerships in which we have an existing investment. In addition to such amounts, a percentage of prior distributions may be recalled under certain circumstances.

Investments in affiliated private investment funds - carried interest represent interests in the general partners of affiliated private investment funds that are entitled to a disproportionate allocation of income, also known as carried interest. The entities that hold these interests (“carried interest entities”) are considered variable interest entities and are consolidated as T. Rowe Price is determined to be the primary beneficiary. The total assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of these carried interest entities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are as follows:

(in millions)9/30/202512/31/2024
Assets$455.9$467.7
Liabilities$0.8$0.4
Non-controlling interest$170.0$160.7

INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED COLLATERALIZED LOAN OBLIGATIONS.

There is debt associated with our investments in affiliated collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). The debt relates to outstanding repurchase agreements of €29.3 million at September 30, 2025 and €56.9 million at December 31, 2024 (equivalent to $34.4 million at September 30, 2025 and $59.1 million at December 31, 2024 at the respective EUR spot rates) that are collateralized by the CLO investments and reported in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets. These repurchase agreements bear interest at rates based on EURIBOR plus the initial margin, which equals all-in rates ranging from 2.02% to 10.89% as of September 30, 2025. The debt matures on various dates through 2035 or if the investments are paid back in full or cancelled, whichever is sooner.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.

We determine the fair value of our cash equivalents and certain investments held at fair value using the following broad levels of inputs as defined by related accounting standards:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments accessible at the reporting date.

Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads. These inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources.

Level 3 – unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions based on the best information available. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments in this category generally include investments for which there is not an actively-traded market.

Page 11

These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with our investments. The following table summarizes our investments and liabilities that are recognized in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets using fair value measurements determined based on the differing levels of inputs. This table excludes investments held by the consolidated investment products, which are presented separately in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets and are detailed in Note 5.

The fair value hierarchy level table above does not include the investment partnerships and other investments for which fair value is estimated using their NAV per share as a practical expedient or using the measurement alternative. The carrying value of these investments as disclosed in Note 3 were $107.8 million at September 30, 2025, and $62.5 million at December 31, 2024.

The Level 3 investments’ fair value is derived from inputs that are unobservable and that reflect our own determinations about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the investments, including assumptions about risk. These inputs are developed based on our data, which is adjusted if information indicates that market participants would use different assumptions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the change in Level 3 fair values were solely attributable to the purchases of new investments and there were no transfers into or out of Level 3. The following table provides information about the significant Level 3 inputs:

NOTE 5 – CONSOLIDATED INVESTMENT PRODUCTS.

The investment products that we consolidate in our consolidated financial statements are generally those products we provided initial seed capital at the time of their formation and have a controlling interest. Our U.S. mutual funds and certain other products are considered voting interest entities, while those regulated outside the U.S. are considered variable interest entities.

The following table details the net assets of the consolidated investment products:

(1) Cash and cash equivalents includes $1.4 million at September 30, 2025, and $4.9 million at December 31, 2024, of investments in T. Rowe Price money market mutual funds.

(2) Investments include $41.5 million at September 30, 2025, and $9.3 million at December 31, 2024, of other T. Rowe Price investment products.

Although we can generally redeem our net interest in the consolidated investment products at any time, we cannot directly access or sell the assets held by these products to obtain cash for general operations. Additionally, the assets of these investment products are not available to our general creditors.

Since third-party investors in these investment products have no recourse to our credit, our overall risk related to the net assets of consolidated investment products is limited to valuation changes associated with our net interest. However, we are required to recognize the valuation changes associated with all underlying investments held by these products in our consolidated statements of income and disclose the portion attributable to unrelated third-party investors as net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests.

The operating results of the consolidated investment products for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, are reflected in our unaudited consolidated statements of income as follows:

The operating expenses of the consolidated investment products are reflected in general, administrative and other expenses. In preparing our unaudited consolidated financial statements, we eliminated operating expenses of $0.8 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, against the investment advisory and administrative fees earned from these products. Operating expenses eliminated for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were $3.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The net investment income (loss) reflected in non-operating income (loss) includes dividend and interest income as well as realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying securities held by the consolidated investment products.

The table below details the impact of these consolidated investment products on the individual lines of our unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the net cash provided by (used in) financing activities included $15.3 million of net redemptions we made from the consolidated investment products. These cash flows were eliminated in consolidation.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.

We determine the fair value of investments held by consolidated investment products using the following broad levels of inputs as defined by related accounting standards:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments accessible at the reporting date.

Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in

Page 14

inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads. These inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources.

Level 3 – unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions based on the best information available. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments in this category generally include investments for which there is not an actively-traded market. There are no Level 3 investments at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investment holdings. The following table summarizes the investment holdings held by our consolidated investment products using fair value measurements determined based on the differing levels of inputs.

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT REPORTING.

We have one reportable segment: investment management services. We derive our revenue and net income globally and manage business activities on a consolidated basis.

We derive our revenues and net income from investment advisory services provided to individual and institutional investors. We also provide certain ancillary administrative services, including mutual fund transfer agent, fund and portfolio accounting, distribution, and shareholder services; participant recordkeeping and transfer agent services for defined contribution retirement plans; and other advisory services. Our revenues and net income depend largely on the total value and composition of our assets under management, as such, the consideration for our services is generally variable and recognized over time.

Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the chief executive officer. The CODM utilizes consolidated net income attributable to T. Rowe Price as reported on the consolidated income statement and certain non-GAAP metrics to assess performance and allocate resources. Based on these metrics, the CODM decides either to reinvest profits into the business based on our strategic priorities and/or return cash to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.

We determined there are no significant segment expenses that require a separate disclosure, as the major categories of expenses regularly reviewed by the CODM to manage operations are disclosed in the consolidated statements of income. Quarterly reviews of expenses highlight those influenced by financial markets, such as distribution and servicing costs, as well as those that are both qualitatively and quantitatively significant. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.

COMMITMENTS.

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. has committed $229 million for investment in future OHA product launches through 2026.

CONTINGENCIES.

Contingent Consideration

As part of the purchase consideration for our acquisition of OHA in December 2021, there is contingent

consideration in the amount of up to $900 million, payable in cash, that may be due as part of an earnout payment in 2026 and 2027 upon satisfying or exceeding certain defined revenue targets. These defined revenue targets will be evaluated on a cumulative basis from 2022 through 2026. About 22% of the earnout is conditioned upon continued service with T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. and was excluded from the purchase consideration and deemed compensatory. The fair value of the earnout is remeasured each reporting period and was valued at zero as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Other

Various claims against us arise in the ordinary course of business, including employment-related claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, the likelihood of an adverse determination in one or more of these pending ordinary course of business claims that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations is remote.

NOTE 12 – RESTRUCTURING CHARGE.

As separately disclosed in the unaudited consolidated income statement, we recognized a restructuring charge of $28.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily related to severance. The remaining liability at September 30, 2025 of $10.1 million is reported in accrued compensation and related costs. This charge relates to our broad and ongoing plan to reduce expense growth and realign resources. This ongoing effort is designed to support investment in both existing and future capabilities.

Page 19

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

In October 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to exit two owned office buildings in Owings Mills, Maryland. This decision is expected to result in a non-cash charge of up to $100 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting the carrying value of the buildings, and will be recorded in the restructuring charge line of the consolidated income statement. This decision was made in connection with our broad and ongoing plan to reduce expense growth and realign resources to invest in existing and future capabilities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and stockholders’ equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 14, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
