Notably, they were able to refinance and secure the estate's interest in the Michael Jackson music catalogue, Mijac, and the Sony/ATV publishing catalogue which includes some of the Beatles catalogue.
The executors said the estate had also benefited from the release of the posthumous concert film, This Is It.
They said they had reduced the estate's debt by more than $90m.
Dozens of approved creditors' claims had been paid as well as Jackson's income taxes.
