What it owns and what it owes

Both on one scale, because both are money — the bar that is taller is the one that matters.

Cash and debt

Cash & InvestmentsTotal Debt

Cash counts short-term investments, not just the bank balance — technology companies park most of it in marketable securities, and leaving those out understates it several times over. Debt includes lease obligations.

About this data

Everything above comes from Ares Management Corp’s own filings with the SEC, as reported. No estimates, no analyst figures, nothing adjusted.

Not reported by this filer: Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit, R&D Expense, Operating Income, Profit per share, Shares outstanding, Interest Income, Net Interest Income, Non-interest Income, Non-interest Expense, Provision for Credit Losses, Deposits, Current Assets, Current Liabilities, Short-term Investments, Inventory, Receivables, Long-term Debt (current), Short-term Borrowings, Borrowings (total), Operating Lease (current), Operating Lease (noncurrent), Finance Lease (current), Finance Lease (noncurrent), and Share Repurchases. Companies choose which XBRL tags to use, and anything untagged cannot be recovered — so these are blank rather than guessed.
