WEST PALM BEACH, FL, May 2, 2022 — Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE: AMG) today reported its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2022.

Jay C. Horgen, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMG, said:
“AMG reported strong results in the first quarter of 2022, with growth of 9% in Economic Earnings per Share relative to the year-ago quarter, driven by new investments, strong Affiliate performance, and share repurchases. Net client cash flows reflected ongoing strength in alternative and ESG strategies, and excluding certain quantitative strategies, were again positive for the quarter. Clients recognize that high-quality active managers are able to navigate volatile markets to deliver superior outcomes; our Affiliates are positioned to benefit in this environment, further increasing our business momentum.

“The recently announced strategic combination of BPEA with EQT marks a successful culmination of AMG's partnership with BPEA, and we are pleased that our strategic engagement enhanced the firm's ability to accomplish an outcome that will benefit all stakeholders. At the closing of the transaction, AMG will receive cash and stock valued at approximately $1 billion,* further enhancing our financial flexibility and ability to invest in secular growth areas. Earlier in the quarter, in line with our focus on growth areas, we made an additional investment in Systematica Investments, a leading liquid alternatives firm well-positioned to deliver portfolio diversification and uncorrelated investment outcomes to clients across market cycles.

“Looking ahead, the current environment presents unique opportunities for continued growth given the diversity of AMG's business, the quality of our Affiliates, and our strong and flexible capital position. As AMG's partnership approach continues to resonate strongly with the highest-quality partner-owned investment firms, we are confident in our ability to generate additional shareholder value over time through the disciplined execution of our strategy—including through investments in new and existing Affiliates, as well as our value-added strategic capabilities."

Notes

(1)    Earnings per share (diluted) adjusts for the dilutive effect of the potential issuance of incremental shares of our common stock.

Prior to 2022, we excluded any potential dilutive effect from possible share settlements of Redeemable non-controlling interests as we intend to settle in cash. Upon adoption of Accounting Standard Update 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06"), we must assume the settlement of all of our Redeemable non-controlling interests using the maximum number of shares permitted under our arrangements. The issuance of shares and the related income acquired are excluded from the calculation if an assumed purchase of Redeemable non-controlling interests would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.

We had junior convertible securities outstanding during the periods presented and are required to apply the if-converted method to these securities in our calculation of Earnings per share (diluted). Under the if-converted method, shares that are issuable upon conversion are deemed outstanding, regardless of whether the securities are contractually convertible into our common stock at that time. For this calculation, the interest expense (net of tax) attributable to these dilutive securities is added back to Net income (controlling interest), reflecting the assumption that the securities have been converted. Issuable shares for these securities and related interest expense are excluded from the calculation if an assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Hypothetical issuance of shares to settle Redeemable non-controlling interests— 4.0 
Junior convertible securities2.2 2.0 
Average shares outstanding (diluted)45.4 46.9 

(2)    As supplemental information, we provide non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest), Economic net income (controlling interest), and Economic earnings per share. Management utilizes these non-GAAP performance measures to assess our performance before our share of certain non-cash expenses and to improve comparability between periods.

Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) represents our performance before our share of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments, certain Affiliate equity expenses, certain gains and losses, including on general partner and seed capital investments, certain non-income based taxes, and adjustments to our contingent payment obligations. We believe that many investors use this non-GAAP measure when assessing the financial performance of companies in the investment management industry.

Under our Economic net income (controlling interest) definition, we add to Net income (controlling interest) our share of pre-tax intangible amortization and impairments (including the portion attributable to equity method investments in Affiliates), deferred taxes related to intangible assets, and other economic items which include non-cash imputed interest (principally related to the accounting for convertible securities and contingent payment obligations), certain Affiliate equity expenses, and certain gains and losses, including on general partner and seed capital investments. Economic net income (controlling interest) is used by management and our Board of Directors as our principal performance benchmark, including as one of the measures for aligning executive compensation with stockholder value.

Economic earnings per share represents Economic net income (controlling interest) divided by the Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted). In this calculation, we exclude the potential shares issued upon settlement of Redeemable non-controlling interests from Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted) because we intend to settle those obligations without issuing shares, consistent with all prior Affiliate equity purchase transactions. The potential share issuance in connection with our junior convertible securities is measured using a “treasury stock” method. Under this method, only the net number of shares of common stock equal to the value of the junior convertible securities in excess of par, if any, are deemed to be outstanding. We believe the inclusion of net shares under a treasury stock method best reflects the benefit of the increase in available capital resources (which could be used to repurchase shares of common stock) that occurs when these securities are converted and we are relieved of our debt obligation.

These non-GAAP performance measures are provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Net income (controlling interest), Earnings per share, or other GAAP performance measures. For additional information on our non-GAAP measures, see our Annual and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q, respectively, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

(4)    Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06, which impacted the treatment of our junior convertible securities. The adoption resulted in increases in Debt and beginning Retained earnings of $101.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and decreases in Additional paid-in-capital and Deferred income tax liability (net) of $80.6 million and $25.4 million, respectively.
