On the call today, we have Jason Rees, CEO Adam Kleinman, President and General Counsel Nicole Mills, COO and Keri Davis, CFO. I will now turn the call over to Jason Rees, CEO. Speaker 200:02:09Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Before discussing Q3 results, I want to highlight several milestone achievements in our alternative credit and real estate platform businesses where we are growing assets and driving increased profitability. 1st, our BDC Great Own Capital Corp. Accomplished 2 capital raising initiatives. In February, GECC raised $24,000,000 of equity capital at net asset value from an SPV. Speaker 200:02:43GEG supported this capital raise by investing $6,000,000 in conjunction with an institutional investor's $18,000,000 investment in a special purpose vehicle, which in turn invested $24,000,000 of new GECC common shares. We are working with our SPV partner to broaden their relationship with Great Elm, which we believe will provide strategic benefits over time for both parties. As I have noted before, accomplishing this capital raise at NAV was a huge success for Great Elm Group and clear evidence of our commitment to further scale GECC. In April, GECC completed an underwritten public offering of $34,500,000 of 5 year notes at a more than 50 basis point spread improvement as compared to GECC's August 2023 note issuance. Overall, these actions have resulted in our BDC raising nearly $60,000,000 of fresh capital, contributing to significant growth in our assets under management. Speaker 200:03:49Importantly, these capital raises increased GEG's basis for earning fees from GECC and enable us to receive both significant recurring asset management fee revenue as well as potential incentive fee revenue on this incremental capital. Further, the innovative investment structure embedded in this transaction, specifically utilizing an SPV to purchase equity in the BDC also provides us with a template for future capital raising endeavors and investment opportunities. It should be noted that the financial accounting rules guided us to mark our $6,000,000 investment in the SPV to a material lesser value. This unrealized loss is the source of the vast majority of our net loss this quarter. We believe this unrealized loss is temporary and will reverse over time as the SPV receives distributions from the BDC. Speaker 200:04:47Subsequent to quarter end, our real estate platform business, Monomoy BTS, signed a contract to sell its 1st build to suit property. This sale is expected to close in the fiscal Q4 and will create value for our shareholders. We believe that Monomoy BTS will be able to generate additional shareholder value over time through our anticipated sale of our 2nd build to suit property in the fiscal Q1 of 2025 and by executing on our considerable BPS pipeline. Also in April, in response to tenant demand, we launched Monomoy BPS Construction Management, a consulting business that allows our customers to leverage our seasoned team to oversee in house construction projects through owner representative services. This new business provides an accretive revenue stream to Great Elm without adding significantly to our operating costs. Speaker 200:05:42We're encouraged by the initial demand and growth opportunities for this new venture. In addition to these key strategic developments, Great Elm Group had a solid fiscal Q3 of 2024. We continue to grow our fee paying assets under management on both a sequential quarter and year over year basis, Including the net proceeds from GECC's April capital raising initiatives, fee paying AUM and AUM increased 19% and 14% from the prior year quarter end respectively. We generated total revenues of $2,800,000 a 47% increase from the prior year period and adjusted EBITDA of $1,200,000 compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $300,000 for the prior year period. We ended the quarter with nearly $70,000,000 in cash and marketable securities to deploy across our growing alternative asset management platform. Speaker 200:06:42Moving to our 2 anchor fee paying vehicles, GECC and Monomoy, we have increased AUM and sustained fee revenue across both platforms. We are pleased with the continued performance of both during the quarter and seek to further accelerate the momentum at these key businesses. GECC had another strong quarter with NII exceeding the regular quarterly dividend. GECC will pass $700,000 of incentive fees to GEG, the 4th consecutive quarter of incentive fees, bringing GEG's cash incentive fees from GECC to approximately $3,700,000 over the last 12 months. Total fees earned by GEG from GECC in the quarter were $1,600,000 GECC remains well positioned to continue delivering fee revenues to GEG on the back of its capital raising initiatives, successful portfolio repositioning and the recent expansion into CLO products. Speaker 200:07:46Combined, these initiatives should drive increased fee revenue as the BDC continues to grow and perform. Monomoy REIT also continues to make significant progress. Calendar year to date, the REIT deployed $11,600,000 of capital to acquire 6 properties with in place leases, amended 2 existing tenant leases for meaningful term extensions and expansion projects and executed renewal options at 6 properties with key tenants. Lastly, Monomoy successfully refinanced a sizable debt facility without any material impact to its annual debt service and freed up an additional $10,000,000 of capital for portfolio growth. As referenced earlier, our built to seat business continues to make meaningful progress on its 2 construction projects in Florida and Mississippi. Speaker 200:08:38With our inaugural 2 BTS projects nearing completion, we have developed a considerable pipeline of future BTS projects. We're extremely encouraged by Great Elm's future growth with BTS and construction management and its potential for creating shareholder value in fiscal 2025 and beyond. I'd like to conclude my comments by tying back to the 3 thriving goals we've consistently outlined in prior quarters: enhance our fiscal performance, expand our platform and grow our AUM. I am extremely pleased with our continued progress towards these goals. Our accomplishments underscore our commitment to reposition Great Elm in the alternative asset management space by growing our core businesses and adding accretive products. Speaker 200:09:28Additionally, we continue to actively evaluate multiple strategic initiatives. Moving ahead, we remain steadfast in pursuing opportunities to expand our businesses and allocate capital to promising new platform opportunities, offering attractive risk adjusted returns. We remain very excited for the future of Great Elm. With that, I'll turn it over to Keri. Speaker 300:09:51Thank you, Jason. I'll provide a brief overview of the quarter and of course welcome all of you to review our filings in greater detail or reach out to our team with any questions. Fiscal 3rd quarter revenues grew by 47% year over year to $2,800,000 driven by increased fee paying assets under management related to GECC and Monomoy and the recognition of incentive fees from GECC for the 4th consecutive quarter, generating approximately $700,000 during the fiscal Q3. AUM of $688,000,000 as of March 31 was up 5% from the prior quarter end and up 9% from the prior year quarter end, while fee paying AUM grew to 493,000,000 dollars up 7% quarter to date and up 13% from the prior year quarter end. Inclusive of the net proceeds from GECC's April capital raising initiative, AUM was $716,000,000 up 9% from December 31 and 14% from the prior year quarter end and fee paying AUM was $521,000,000 up 13% from December 31 19% from prior year quarter end. Speaker 300:11:02Great Elm Group generated a net loss from continuing operations of $2,900,000 for the quarter as compared to $500,000 for the prior year period. As previously mentioned, this quarter's loss was primarily due to unrealized loss of Great Elm's investment in Great Elm's strategic partnership. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $1,200,000 compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $300,000 in the prior year period. As of March 31, we had approximately $69,000,000 of combined cash and marketable securities on our balance sheet to deploy across our growing alternative asset management platform. Please refer to Slide 6 that provides an overview of our financial position and highlights our book value per share of approximately $2.15 This concludes my financial review of the quarter. Speaker 300:11:51With that, we will turn the call over to the operator to open up for questions. Operator00:11:56Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer It seems that we don't have any questions from the line. I will now turn the conference back over to Jason Reif, CEO for the closing remarks. Speaker 200:13:04Thank you again for joining us today. We remain extremely excited about Great Elm's future and look forward to speaking with you. Operator00:13:13Thank you. That concludes today's conference call. Thank you all for joining.
