Long-term assets under management were $90.4 billion at December
31, 2018, a decrease of 13 percent from $103.9 billion at September 30, 2018, as a result of market
performance and net outflows. Long-term assets increased 2 percent
over prior year due to the addition of Sustainable Growth Advisers
(SGA), partially offset by market depreciation and net outflows.
Total assets under management at December
31, 2018, which include $1.6
billion of assets in liquidity strategies, were $92.0 billion.
Total sales in the fourth quarter of $4.4
billion declined from $6.3
billion in the third quarter, with lower sequential sales
across products, reflecting the challenging market conditions
during the fourth quarter. Mutual fund sales of $2.9 billion declined from $3.8 billion in the prior quarter. Lower sales in
mutual funds were attributable to lower domestic equity small-cap
strategies, consistent with industry trends, which more than offset
increased sales of domestic large- and mid-cap equity,
international equity and fixed income strategies. Retail separate
account sales declined sequentially to $0.7
billion, primarily attributable to lower sales in domestic
equity strategies. Institutional sales were $0.8 billion compared with $1.5 billion in the prior quarter, which included
meaningful new mandates for three affiliates.
Total net flows were ($4.8)
billion in the fourth quarter, compared with net inflows of
$0.5 billion in the prior quarter, as
net outflows primarily in open-end mutual funds more than offset
positive net flows in retail separate accounts. Mutual fund net
flows were ($3.9) billion, compared
with $0.3 billion in the prior
quarter, primarily due to elevated redemptions across asset classes
as investors sought to de-risk portfolios in light of the market
environment. Retail separate accounts continued to generate
positive inflows with $186.4 million
in the quarter, compared with $358.3
million in the third quarter.
GAAP Results
Operating income decreased sequentially to $29.2 million from $33.9
million, reflecting a decrease of 9 percent in total
revenues, related to lower average assets under management,
partially offset by an 8 percent decrease in operating expenses.
Fourth-quarter operating expenses included $1.7 million of acquisition and integration costs
compared with $4.3 million in the
third quarter, which included closing costs related to the SGA
transaction.
Net income per diluted share of $0.01 included ($3.40) of net unrealized losses on investments,
($0.16) of acquisition and
integration costs, and $0.35 per
share benefit from net realized gains on investments. Third quarter
net income per diluted share of $3.19
included ($0.48) of net unrealized
losses on investments, ($0.37) of
acquisition and integration costs, and $0.35 per share benefit from discrete tax
adjustments.
Non-GAAP Results
Revenues, as adjusted, of $118.6
million decreased 8 percent from $128.5 million in the prior quarter as a result
of lower average assets and fee rate, as well as $3.4 million of lower performance-related fees.
Employment expenses, as adjusted, of $58.1
million decreased 6 percent sequentially, primarily due to
lower profit- and sales-based incentive compensation. Other
operating expenses, as adjusted, increased 2 percent from the prior
quarter, primarily due to marketing and sales-related
activities.
Operating income, as adjusted, and the related margin were
$41.5 million and 35 percent,
respectively, compared with $48.2
million and 38 percent in the sequential quarter. The
sequential change reflects lower revenues, as adjusted, primarily
due to lower average assets and third-quarter performance fees.
Net income attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted,
which is net of the noncontrolling interests related to SGA, was
$3.06 per diluted common share, a
decrease of (16) percent from $3.64
in the prior quarter. The effective tax rate, as adjusted, was 28
percent, compared with 27 percent in the prior quarter, primarily
due to the impact of non-controlling interests.
Interest and dividends earned on seed and CLO investments, which
are not included in net income, as adjusted, were $4.2 million, or $0.36 on an after-tax per-share basis, compared
with $3.4 million or $0.30 per share in the third quarter.

Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations
(in
thousands except per share data)
The following are reconciliations and related notes of the most
comparable U.S. GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure.
The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release differ
from financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as
a result of the reclassification of certain income statement items,
as well as the exclusion of certain expenses and other items that
are not reflective of the earnings generated from providing
investment management and related services. Non-GAAP financial
measures have material limitations and should not be viewed in
isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures.

Distribution and
other asset-based expenses - Primarily payments to
distribution partners for providing services to investors in our
sponsored funds and payments to third-party service providers for
investment management-related services. Management believes that
making this adjustment aids in comparing the company's operating
results with other asset management firms that do not utilize
intermediary distribution partners or third-party service
providers.
|
|
|
2.
|
Consolidated
investment products - Revenues and expenses generated by
operating activities of mutual funds and collateralized loan
obligations ("CLOs") that are consolidated in the financial
statements. Management believes that excluding these operating
activities to reflect net revenues and expenses of the company
prior to the consolidation of these products is consistent with the
approach of reflecting its operating results from managing
third-party client assets.
|
|
|
3.
|
Amortization of
intangible assets - Non-cash amortization expense or
impairment expense, if any, attributable to acquisition-related
intangible assets, including any portion that is allocated to
noncontrolling interests. Management believes that making this
adjustment aids in comparing the company's operating results with
other asset management firms that have not engaged in
acquisitions.
|
|
|
4.
|
Restructuring and
severance - Certain expenses associated with restructuring
the business, including lease abandonment-related expenses and
severance costs associated with staff reductions, that are not
reflective of the ongoing earnings generation of the business.
Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing
the company's operating results with prior periods.
|
|
|
5.
|
Acquisition and
integration expenses - Expenses that are directly related
to acquisition and integration activities. Acquisition expenses
include transaction closing costs, certain professional fees, and
financing fees. Integration expenses include costs incurred that
are directly attributable to combining businesses, including
compensation, restructuring and severance charges, professional
fees, consulting fees, and other expenses. Management believes that
making these adjustments aids in comparing the company's operating
results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in
acquisitions.

Other -
Certain expenses that are not reflective of the ongoing earnings
generation of the business. In addition, it includes income tax
expense (benefit) items, such as adjustments for uncertain tax
positions, changes in tax law, valuation allowances and other
unusual or infrequent items not related to current operating
results to reflect a normalized effective rate. Preferred dividends
are adjusted as the shares are mandatorily convertible into common
shares at the end of three years and the non-GAAP weighted average
shares are adjusted to reflect the conversion. Management believes
that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company's
operating results with prior periods.

Seed capital and
CLO investments earnings (loss) - Gains and losses
(realized and unrealized), dividends and interest income generated
by seed capital and CLO investments. Gains and losses (realized and
unrealized) generated by investments in seed capital and CLO
investments can vary significantly from period to period and do not
reflect the company's operating results from providing investment
management and related services. Management believes that making
this adjustment aids in comparing the company's operating results
with prior periods and with other asset management firms that do
not have meaningful seed capital and CLO investments.
