Hennessy Advisors, Inc. Reports Strong Fiscal 2025 Results with 38% Increase in Annual Earnings Per Share

"I'm also proud of our Funds' historical performance. Every one of our 17 Hennessy Funds posted positive returns in the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2025. Among our 16 Funds with more than 10 years of operating history, all delivered positive results for both the 5-year and 10-year periods ended September 30, 2025," stated Neil Hennessy.

"While total assets under management declined from prior year, we are entering fiscal year 2026 from a strong position – nearly $4.3 billion in assets under management, more than $72 million in cash, and a pending deal in process to expand our ETF lineup," said Teresa Nilsen, President and COO.

"Our higher average assets this year helped fuel a 40% increase in net income and boosted our cash position by over $8.5 million. These results reflect both the strength of our operating model and the discipline of our team," she added. "Looking ahead, our focus remains on growth and stability. We remain committed to maintaining our quarterly dividend, and we'll continue to seek opportunities—organically and through acquisition—that align with our values and create long-term value for our shareholders."

• Total revenue of $35.5 million, an increase of 20%.
