AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands)
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "AMG") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. All dollar amounts in these notes (except per share data) are stated in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 includes additional information about AMG, its operations and its financial position, and should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
2. Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents held at various financial institutions. For AMG and certain Affiliates, cash deposits at a financial institution may exceed FDIC insurance limits.
3. Long-Term Debt
At June 30, 2003, long-term senior debt was $653,032, consisting of $123,032 of zero coupon senior convertible notes, $300,000 of floating rate senior convertible securities and $230,000 of mandatory convertible debt securities. At December 31, 2002, long-term senior debt consisted of $229,023 of zero coupon senior convertible notes and $230,000 of mandatory convertible debt securities.
Senior Revolving Credit Facility
In August 2002, the Company replaced its former senior revolving credit facility with a new senior revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with several major commercial banks. The Facility, which is scheduled to mature in August 2005, currently provides that the Company may borrow up to $250,000 at rates of interest (based either on the Eurodollar rate or the Prime rate as in effect from time to time) that vary depending on the Company's credit ratings. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Facility at June 30, 2003 or December 31, 2002. Subject to the agreement of the lenders (or prospective lenders) to increase their commitments, the Company has the option to increase the Facility to $350,000. The Facility contains financial covenants with respect to net worth, leverage and interest coverage. The Facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, dividends and fundamental corporate changes. All borrowings under the Facility are collateralized by pledges of all capital stock or other equity interests owned by AMG.
Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes
In May 2001, the Company completed a private placement of zero coupon senior convertible notes. In this private placement, the Company sold a total of $251,000 principal amount at maturity of
5
zero coupon senior convertible notes due 2021, with each note issued at 90.50% of such principal amount and accreting at a rate of 0.50% per annum. Each security is convertible into 11.62 shares of the Company's Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events, including the following: (i) if the closing price of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange is more than a specified price over certain periods (initially $93.53 and increasing incrementally each six calendar-month period for the next 20 years to $94.62 on April 1, 2021); (ii) if the credit rating assigned to the securities is below BB-; or (iii) if the Company calls the securities for redemption. The Company has the option to redeem the securities for cash on or after May 7, 2006 and may be required to repurchase the securities at the accreted value at the option of the holders on May 7 of 2004, 2006, 2011 and 2016. If the holders exercise this option, the Company may elect to repurchase the securities with cash, shares of its Common Stock or some combination thereof. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company repurchased $116,500 principal amount at maturity of zero coupon senior convertible notes in privately negotiated transactions, which resulted in a gain of $555.
Mandatory Convertible Debt Securities
In December 2001, the Company completed a public offering of mandatory convertible debt securities ("FELINE PRIDES"). A sale of an over-allotment of the securities was completed in January 2002, and increased the amount outstanding to $230,000. As described below, these securities are structured to provide $230,000 in additional proceeds to the Company following a successful remarketing and the exercise of forward purchase contracts in November 2004.
Each FELINE PRIDE initially consists of (i) a senior note due November 17, 2006 (each, a "Senior Note"), on which the Company pays interest quarterly at the annual rate of 6%, and (ii) a forward purchase contract pursuant to which the holder has agreed to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock on November 17, 2004, with the number of shares to be determined based upon the average trading price of the Company's Common Stock for a period preceding that date. Depending on the average trading price in that period, the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock to be issued in the settlement of the contracts will range from 2,736,000 to 3,146,000. Based on the current trading price of the Company's Common Stock, the purchase contracts would settle for 3,146,000 shares, which equates to the receipt of $73.10 per share.
Each of the Senior Notes is pledged to the Company to collateralize the holder's obligations under the forward purchase contracts. Beginning in August 2004, the Senior Notes will be remarketed to new investors. A successful remarketing will generate $230,000 of proceeds to be used by the original holders of the FELINE PRIDES to honor their obligations on the forward purchase contracts. In exchange for the additional $230,000 in payment on the forward purchase contracts, the Company will issue shares of its Common Stock. As referenced above, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued will be determined by the price of the Company's Common Stock at that time. The Senior Notes will remain outstanding until November 2006 and (assuming a successful remarketing) will be held by the new investors.
Floating Rate Senior Convertible Securities
In February 2003, the Company completed a private placement of $300,000 of floating rate senior convertible securities due 2033 ("convertible securities"). The convertible securities bear interest at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR minus 0.50%, payable in cash quarterly. Each convertible security is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events, including the following: (i) if the closing price of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceeds $97.50 over certain periods; (ii) if the credit rating assigned by Standard & Poor's is below BB-; or (iii) if the Company exercises its option to call the convertible securities for redemption. Upon conversion, holders of the securities will receive 12.3077 shares of the Company's Common Stock for each convertible security. In addition, if the market price of the
6
Company's Common Stock exceeds $81.25 per share at the time of conversion, holders will receive additional shares of the Company's Common Stock based on the Company's stock price at the time of the conversion. The Company may redeem the convertible securities for cash at any time on or after February 25, 2008, at their principal amount. The holders of the convertible securities may require the Company to repurchase such securities on February 25 of 2008, 2013, 2018, 2023 and 2028, at their principal amount. The Company may choose to pay the purchase price for such repurchases in cash or shares of the Company's Common Stock.

The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards that will expire over a 15-year period beginning in 2003. The Company also has state tax credit carryforwards, which will expire over a 10-year period beginning in 2003. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 is related to the uncertainty of the realization of most of these loss and credit carryforwards, the use of which depends upon the Company's generation of sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration.

6. Earnings Per Share
The calculation for basic Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted Earnings per share is similar to basic Earnings per share, but adjusts for the effect of the potential issuance of incremental shares of the Company's Common Stock related to stock options and, in certain instances, the Company's convertible securities. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted Earnings per share computations. Unlike all other dollar amounts in these notes, Net Income in this table is not presented in thousands.

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company repurchased 744,500 shares of its Common Stock at an average price of $45.24 per share under its share repurchase program. This share repurchase program was authorized by the Board of Directors in April 2000, permitting the Company to repurchase up to 5% of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. In July 2002 and April 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved increases to the existing share repurchase program, in each case authorizing the purchase of up to an additional 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The timing and amount of purchases are determined at the discretion of the Company's management. At June 30, 2003, a total of 1,341,144 shares of Common Stock remained authorized for repurchase under the program.

7. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company's operating agreements provide Affiliate managers the right to require AMG to purchase their retained equity interests at certain intervals. The Company is also obligated to purchase all remaining interests held by an Affiliate manager upon his or her death, disability or termination of employment. These purchases are generally calculated based on a multiple of the Affiliate's cash flow distributions, which is intended to represent fair value. In addition, to ensure the availability of continued ownership participation for future key employees, the Company can purchase certain equity interests retained by Affiliate managers. At June 30, 2003, the maximum amount of the Company's obligations under these arrangements equaled approximately $597,154. Assuming the closing of all such transactions, AMG would own the prospective cash flow distributions of all interests owned by Affiliate managers so purchased, currently estimated to represent approximately $77,632 on an annualized basis.
The Company and its Affiliates are subject to claims, legal proceedings and other contingencies in the ordinary course of their business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved in a manner unfavorable to the Company or its Affiliates. The Company and its Affiliates establish accruals for matters for which the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that any liability in excess of these accruals upon the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
8. Related Party Transactions
In connection with the purchase of additional Affiliate equity interests, the Company periodically issues notes to Affiliate partners. As of June 30, 2003, the notes totaled $27,638, of which $12,162 is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a current liability and $15,476 is included in other long-term liabilities. These notes bear interest at a weighted average rate of 4.3% and have maturities that range from 2003 to 2008.
9. Equity-Based Compensation Plans
Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 ("FAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages but does not require adoption of a fair value-based accounting method for stock-based compensation arrangements. Under the fair value method prescribed by FAS 123, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the expected service period. An entity may continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25") and related interpretations, provided it discloses its pro forma Net Income and Earnings per share as if the fair value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation cost.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 ("FAS 148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure." FAS 148 amended FAS 123 to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation if companies elect to expense stock options at fair value at the time of grant. Since the Company continues to apply APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its equity-based compensation arrangements, the transition provision of FAS 148 does not currently apply.

If the Company's expense for equity-based compensation arrangements had been determined based on the fair value method promulgated by FAS 123, the Company's Net Income and Earnings per share would have been as follows:

10. Segment Information
Financial Accounting Standard No. 131 ("FAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," establishes disclosure requirements relating to operating segments in annual and interim financial statements. Management has assessed the requirements of FAS 131 and determined that the Company operates in three business segments representing the Company's three principal distribution channels: High Net Worth, Mutual Fund and Institutional.
Revenue in the High Net Worth distribution channel is earned from relationships with wealthy individuals, family trusts and managed account programs. Revenue in the Mutual Fund distribution channel is earned from advisory and sub-advisory relationships with mutual funds. Revenue in the Institutional distribution channel is earned from relationships with foundations and endowments, defined benefit and defined contribution plans and Taft-Hartley plans. In the case of Affiliates with transaction-based brokerage fee businesses, revenue reported in each distribution channel includes fees earned for transactions on behalf of clients in that channel.
In reporting segment operating expenses, Affiliate expenses are allocated to a particular segment on a pro rata basis with respect to the revenue generated by that Affiliate in such segment. As described in greater detail in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in firms with revenue sharing arrangements, a certain percentage of revenue is allocated for use by management of an Affiliate in paying operating expenses of that Affiliate, including salaries and bonuses, and is called an "Operating Allocation." Generally, as revenue increases, additional compensation is paid to Affiliate management partners from the Operating Allocation. As a result, the contractual expense allocation pursuant to a revenue sharing arrangement may result in the characterization of any growth in profit margin beyond the Company's Owners' Allocation as an operating expense. All other operating expenses (excluding intangible amortization) and interest expense have been allocated to segments based on the proportion of cash flow distributions reported by Affiliates in each segment.

Amortizable acquired client relationships are amortized using the straight-line method over a weighted average life of approximately 14 years. Amortization expense was $3,364 and $4,033 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively, and $6,696 and $8,047 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The Company estimates that amortization expense will be approximately $16,200 per year from 2003 through 2007, assuming no additional investments in new or existing Affiliates.
12. Recent Accounting Developments
In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which addresses reporting and disclosure requirements for Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs"). FIN 46 requires consolidation of a VIE by the enterprise that has the majority of the risks and rewards of ownership, referred to as the primary beneficiary. The consolidation and disclosure provisions of FIN 46 are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2003 for VIEs created before February 1, 2003. As a result, the Company will be required to consolidate any VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary (currently limited to its corporate headquarters and related financing of approximately $20,000) in the third quarter of 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 will not materially impact the Company's operating results or financial position.
In May 2003, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 150 ("FAS 150"), "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity," which establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that represent obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Since the Company does not have any financial instruments that meet the criteria of FAS 150, the adoption of FAS 150 is not expected to have any effect on the Company's operating results or financial position.

Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the following:
These factors (among others) could affect our financial performance and cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated and projected. We will not undertake and we specifically disclaim any obligation to release publicly the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of events, whether or not anticipated. In that respect, we wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
Overview
We are an asset management company with equity investments in a diverse group of mid-sized investment management firms (our "Affiliates"). As of June 30, 2003, our affiliated investment management firms managed approximately $77.3 billion in assets across a broad range of investment styles and in three principal distribution channels: High Net Worth, Mutual Fund and Institutional. We pursue a growth strategy designed to generate shareholder value through the internal growth of our existing businesses across these three channels, in addition to investments in mid-sized investment management firms and strategic transactions and relationships designed to enhance our Affiliates' businesses and growth prospects.
Through our Affiliates, we provide more than 150 investment products across a broad range of asset classes and investment styles and in our three principal distribution channels. We believe that our diversification across asset classes, investment styles and distribution channels helps to mitigate our exposure to the risks created by changing market environments. The following summarizes our operations in these distribution channels.
14
management services for high net worth individuals and families through direct relationships, as well as through more than 90 managed account programs.
While we operate our business through our Affiliates in these distribution channels, we strive to maintain each Affiliate's entrepreneurial culture and independence through our investment structure. Our principal investment structure involves the ownership of a majority interest in our Affiliates, with each Affiliate organized as a separate firm. Each Affiliate operating agreement is tailored to meet that Affiliate's particular characteristics and provides us the authority to cause or prevent certain actions to protect our interests.
We have revenue sharing arrangements with most of our Affiliates. Under these arrangements, a percentage of revenue (or in certain cases different percentages relating to the various sources or amounts of revenue of a particular Affiliate) is allocated for use by management of that Affiliate in paying operating expenses of the Affiliate, including salaries and bonuses. We call this the "Operating Allocation." The remaining portion of the Affiliate's revenue is allocated to the owners of that Affiliate (including us), and called the "Owners' Allocation." Each Affiliate distributes its Owners' Allocation to its managers and to us generally in proportion to their and our respective ownership interests in that Affiliate although, as discussed below, in certain circumstances we may permit an Affiliate's management to use its portion of the Owners' Allocation to meet the Affiliate's operating expenses.
We only agree to a particular revenue sharing arrangement if we believe that the Operating Allocation will cover operating expenses of the Affiliate, including a potential increase in expenses or decrease in revenue without a corresponding decrease in operating expenses. To the extent that we are unable to anticipate changes in the revenue and expense base of an Affiliate, the agreed-upon Operating Allocation may not be large enough to pay for all of the Affiliate's operating expenses. The allocations and distributions of cash to us under the Owners' Allocation generally have priority over the allocations and distributions to the Affiliate's managers, which help to protect us if there are any expenses in excess of the Operating Allocation of the Affiliate. Thus, if an Affiliate's expenses exceed its Operating Allocation, the excess expenses first reduce the portion of the Owners' Allocation allocated to the Affiliate's managers until that portion is eliminated, and then reduce the portion allocated to us. Any such reduction in our portion of the Owners' Allocation is required to be paid back to us out of the portion of future Owners' Allocation allocated to the Affiliate's managers. Nevertheless, we may agree to adjustments to revenue sharing arrangements to accommodate our business needs or those of our Affiliates, including deferring or forgoing the receipt of some portion or all of our share of an Affiliate's revenue to permit the Affiliate to fund operating expenses, or restructuring our relationship with an Affiliate, if we believe that doing so will maximize the long-term benefits to us. In addition, with certain Affiliates, we operate under a profit-based arrangement (as described below) to better accommodate our business needs or those of our Affiliates.
15
One of the purposes of our revenue sharing arrangements is to provide ongoing incentives for Affiliate managers by allowing them:
An Affiliate's managers therefore have incentives to increase revenue (thereby increasing the Operating Allocation and their share of the Owners' Allocation) and to control expenses (thereby increasing the amount of Operating Allocation available for their compensation).
Some of our Affiliates are not subject to a revenue sharing arrangement, but instead operate on a profit-based model (although we continue to provide equity incentives at these Affiliates). In our profit-based Affiliates, we participate in a budgeting process with the Affiliate and receive as cash flow a share of its profits. As a result, we participate more fully in any increase or decrease in the revenue or expenses of such firms. In those cases, we generally provide incentives to management through compensation arrangements based on the performance of the Affiliate. Currently, our profit-based Affiliates account for less than 10% of our EBITDA (as defined in Note 2 on page 19).
Net Income on our income statement reflects the consolidation of substantially all of the revenue of our Affiliates, reduced by:
As discussed above, for Affiliates with revenue sharing arrangements, the operating expenses of the Affiliate as well as its managers' minority interest generally increase (or decrease) as the Affiliate's revenue increases (or decreases) because of the direct relationship established in many of our agreements between the Affiliate's revenue and its Operating Allocation and Owners' Allocation. At our profit-based Affiliates, expenses may or may not correspond to increases or decreases in the Affiliates' revenues.
Our level of profitability will depend on a variety of factors, including:
16
Through our affiliated investment management firms, we derive most of our revenue from the provision of investment management services. Investment management fees ("asset-based fees") are usually determined as a percentage fee charged on periodic values of a client's assets under management. Certain clients are billed for all or a portion of their accounts based upon assets under management valued at the beginning of a billing period ("in advance"). Other clients are billed for all or a portion of their accounts based upon assets under management valued at the end of the billing period ("in arrears"). Most client accounts in the High Net Worth distribution channel are billed in advance, and most client accounts in the Institutional distribution channel are billed in arrears. Clients in the Mutual Fund distribution channel are billed based upon average daily assets under management. Advisory fees billed in advance will not reflect subsequent changes in the market value of assets under management for that period. Conversely, advisory fees billed in arrears will reflect changes in the market value of assets under management for that period. In addition, in the High Net Worth and Institutional distribution channels, certain clients are billed on the basis of investment performance ("performance fees"). Performance fees are inherently dependent on investment results, and therefore may vary substantially from year to year.
Principally, our assets under management are directly managed by our Affiliates. One of our Affiliates also manages assets in the Institutional distribution channel using overlay strategies. Overlay assets (assets managed subject to strategies which employ futures, options or other derivative securities) generate asset-based fees that are typically substantially lower than the asset-based fees generated by our Affiliates' other investment strategies. Therefore, changes in directly managed assets generally have a greater impact on our revenue from asset-based fees than changes in overlay assets under management.
In addition to the revenue derived from providing investment management services, we derive a small portion of our revenue from transaction-based brokerage fees and distribution fees at certain Affiliates. In the case of the transaction-based brokerage business at Third Avenue Management LLC ("Third Avenue"), our percentage participation in Third Avenue's brokerage fee revenue is substantially less than our percentage participation in the investment management fee revenue realized by Third Avenue and our other Affiliates. For this reason, increases or decreases in our consolidated revenue that are attributable to Third Avenue brokerage fees will not affect our Net Income and EBITDA to the same degree as investment management fee revenue from Third Avenue and our other Affiliates.

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, our assets under management increased by 13%, to $77.3 billion. During the same three-month period, the S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 15% and 12%, respectively. However, despite the recent increases, for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2003 (a period which impacts certain comparisons of our assets under management and revenue in this report), the S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced a net decline of 2% and 3%, respectively.
The operating segment analysis presented in the table below is based on average assets under management. For the High Net Worth and Institutional distribution channels, average assets under management represents an average of the assets at the beginning and end of the applicable period. For the Mutual Fund distribution channel, average assets under management represents an average of the
18
daily net assets. We believe that this analysis more closely correlates to the billing cycle of each distribution channel and, as such, provides a more meaningful relationship to revenue.

Revenue
Our revenue is generally determined by the following factors:
In addition, the billing patterns of our Affiliates will have an impact on revenue in cases of rising or falling markets. As described previously, advisory fees billed in advance will not reflect subsequent changes in the market value of assets under management for that period, while advisory fees billed in arrears will reflect changes in the market value of assets under management for that period. As a consequence, when equity market declines result in decreased assets under management in a particular period, revenue reported on accounts that are billed in advance of that period may appear to have a relatively higher quarterly fee rate, and in the case of equity market appreciation, revenue reported on accounts that are billed in advance of that period may appear to have a relatively lower quarterly fee rate.
Our revenue decreased 10% and 9%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily as a result of a net decline in the value of average assets under management, which resulted principally from the net decline in the equity markets since the beginning of 2002. This decline was partially offset by an increase in assets under management attributable to our August 2002 investment in Third Avenue. The decreases in revenue were proportionately greater than the decreases in average assets under management of 5% and 8%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. This resulted from a decrease in performance fees earned in the Institutional distribution channel, and was offset partially by an increase in transaction-based brokerage fee revenue relating to our investment in Third Avenue, which revenue is not based on assets under management.
The following discusses the changes in our revenue by operating segments.
High Net Worth Distribution Channel
The decreases in revenue of 11% in the High Net Worth distribution channel in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, resulted primarily from a decline in average assets under management, which in turn resulted principally from a net decline in the equity markets. This decline in average assets under management was partially offset by an increase in average assets under management resulting from our investment in Third Avenue. The decreases in revenue were proportionately less than the decreases in average assets under management primarily as a result of an increase in transaction-based brokerage fee revenue associated with our investment in Third Avenue.
Mutual Fund Distribution Channel
The increases in revenue of 8% in the Mutual Fund distribution channel in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, resulted
20
primarily from an increase in average assets under management, which was principally attributable to our investment in Third Avenue and, unrelated to the changes in assets under management, an increase in transaction-based brokerage fee revenue also associated with our investment in Third Avenue. These increases were partially offset by a net decline in the equity markets. The increases in revenue were proportionately less than the increases in average assets under management because of an increase in assets under management in mutual funds that realize lower fees.
Institutional Distribution Channel
The decreases in revenue of 24% and 21%, respectively, in the Institutional distribution channel in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, resulted primarily from a decrease in performance fee revenue, and to a lesser extent, a decline in average assets under management, resulting principally from a net decline in the equity markets. Unrelated to changes in assets under management, the decline in revenue was partially offset by an increase in transaction-based brokerage fee revenue associated with our investment in Third Avenue.
Operating Expenses
A substantial portion of our operating expenses is incurred by our Affiliates, and a substantial majority of Affiliate expenses is incurred at Affiliates with revenue sharing arrangements. For Affiliates with revenue sharing arrangements, an Affiliate's Operating Allocation generally determines its operating expenses, and therefore our consolidated operating expenses are generally impacted by increases or decreases in Affiliate revenue and corresponding increases or decreases in our Affiliates' Operating Allocations. Similarly, our consolidated compensation and related expenses generally increase or decrease in proportion to increases or decreases in revenue. In the case of profit-based Affiliates, we participate fully in any increase or decrease in the expenses of such Affiliates.
The following table summarizes our consolidated operating expenses.

The decreases in total operating expenses were less than the decreases in revenue primarily as a result of our investment in Third Avenue, which has a proportionately larger Operating Allocation than most of our other Affiliates. Excluding intangible amortization expenses (which generally do not correspond to changes in revenue) and the impact of the investment in Third Avenue, our consolidated operating expenses decreased generally in line with the decreases in revenue.
Compensation and related expenses decreased 4% and 5%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily as a result of the decreased revenue and operating expenses at Affiliates with revenue sharing arrangements, and to a lesser extent lower holding company compensation. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in aggregate Affiliate expenses resulting from our investment in Third Avenue.
21
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 13% and 8%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. The decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses were principally attributable to decreases in spending by our Affiliates from their Operating Allocations, and were partially offset by an increase in aggregate Affiliate expenses resulting from our investment in Third Avenue.
The increases in amortization of intangible assets of 18% and 21%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, resulted principally from an increase in intangible assets resulting from our investment in Third Avenue and, to a lesser extent, our purchases of additional interests in existing Affiliates during 2002 and the first six months of 2003.
Other operating expenses increased 23% and 11%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, principally as a result of an increase in aggregate Affiliate expenses associated with our investment in Third Avenue.

Minority interest, which represents the profits allocated to our Affiliates' management owners, decreased 22% and 19%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, principally as a result of the previously discussed decreases in revenue. The decreases in minority interest were proportionately greater than the decreases in revenue because of decreases in revenue at Affiliates in which we own relatively lower percentages of Owners' Allocation and investment spending by certain Affiliates from their Owners' Allocation, which decreased the minority interest at such Affiliates.
The 10% decreases in income taxes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, were attributable to the decreases in income before taxes, as our effective tax rate of 40% did not change from the prior periods.
Interest expense decreased 14% and 16%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. The decreases in interest expense were principally attributable to amortization of debt issuance costs on the zero coupon senior convertible notes, which were fully amortized by the end of the second quarter of 2002 and payments related to interest rate derivative contracts, which occurred in 2002 but which did not recur in 2003. These decreases were partially offset by the coupon paid on our floating rate senior convertible securities issued in February 2003, and the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our senior revolving credit facility and our floating rate senior convertible securities, both further described in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Investment and other income increased 88% and 114%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. These increases were attributable to the maintenance of higher levels of excess cash at the holding company as a result of our sale of floating rate senior convertible securities in February 2003, and a gain from our subsequent repurchases of zero coupon senior convertible notes, each described in greater detail in
22
"Liquidity and Capital Resources." The average investment return on our cash exceeded the interest rate of both the outstanding zero coupon senior convertible notes and the floating rate senior convertible securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003.

The 10% decreases in Net Income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, resulted principally from the decreases in revenue and reported operating, interest and minority interest expenses, as described above. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in investment and other income, also described above.
Supplemental Performance Measure
As supplemental information, we provide a non-GAAP performance measure that we refer to as Cash Net Income. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Net Income. Cash Net Income is defined as Net Income plus amortization and deferred taxes related to intangible assets plus Affiliate depreciation. We consider Cash Net Income an important measure of our financial performance, as we believe it best represents operating performance before non-cash expenses relating to the acquisition of interests in our affiliated investment management firms. Cash Net Income is used by our management and Board of Directors as a principal performance benchmark, including as a measure for aligning executive compensation with stockholder value.
Since our acquired assets do not generally depreciate or require replacement by AMG, and since they generate deferred tax expenses that are unlikely to reverse, we add back these non-cash expenses to Net Income to measure operating performance. We add back amortization attributable to acquired client relationships because this expense does not correspond to the changes in value of these assets, which do not diminish predictably over time. The portion of deferred taxes generally attributable to intangible assets (including goodwill) that we no longer amortize but which continue to generate tax deductions is added back, because these accruals would be used only in the event of a future sale of an Affiliate or an impairment charge, which we consider unlikely. We add back the portion of consolidated depreciation expense incurred by our Affiliates because under our Affiliates' operating agreements we are generally not required to replenish these depreciating assets. Conversely, we do not add back the deferred taxes relating to our floating rate senior convertible securities or other depreciation expenses. In connection with our issuance of these convertible securities in February 2003, we modified our definition of Cash Net Income to clarify that deferred taxes relating to these securities and certain depreciation are not added back. In prior periods, Cash Net Income represented Net Income plus amortization, deferred taxes and depreciation.

These decreases were partially offset by increases in intangible amortization and intangible-related deferred taxes. If we had used our prior definition of Cash Net Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, including adding back the deferred taxes relating to our floating rate senior convertible securities, Cash Net Income would have been higher by approximately $2.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

We have met our cash requirements primarily through cash generated by operating activities, the issuances of convertible debt securities and borrowings under our senior credit facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, our principal uses of cash were to repay indebtedness, make distributions to Affiliate managers, make additional investments in existing Affiliates (primarily through the purchase of additional equity), repurchase shares of our Common Stock and for working capital purposes. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, our principal uses of cash were to repurchase a portion of our outstanding zero coupon senior convertible securities, repurchase shares of our Common Stock, repay indebtedness, make distributions to Affiliate managers and for working capital purposes. We expect that our principal uses of cash for the foreseeable future will be for additional investments, distributions to Affiliate managers, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt, additional equity investments in existing Affiliates, the repurchase of shares of our Common Stock and for working capital purposes.
In August 2002, we replaced our former senior revolving credit facility with a new senior revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with several major commercial banks. The Facility, which is scheduled to mature in August 2005, currently provides that we may borrow up to $250 million at rates of interest (based either on the Eurodollar rate or the Prime rate as in effect from time to time) that vary depending on our credit ratings. Subject to the agreement of the lenders (or prospective lenders) to increase commitments, we have the option to increase the Facility to $350 million. The Facility contains financial covenants with respect to net worth, leverage and interest coverage, and requires us to pay a quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion. The Facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, dividends and fundamental corporate changes. All borrowings under the Facility are collateralized by pledges of all capital stock or other equity interests owned by us.
In May 2001, we completed a private placement of zero coupon senior convertible notes in which we sold a total of $251 million principal amount at maturity of zero coupon senior convertible notes due 2021, accreting at a rate of 0.50% per annum. Each $1,000 zero coupon senior convertible note is
25
convertible into 11.62 shares of our Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events, including the following: (i) if the closing price of a share of our Common Stock exceeds specified levels for specified periods; (ii) if the credit rating assigned by Standard & Poor's is below BB-; or (iii) if we call the securities for redemption. We have the option to redeem the securities for cash on or after May 7, 2006, and the holders may require us to repurchase the securities at their accreted value on May 7 of 2004, 2006, 2011 and 2016. The purchase price for such repurchases may be paid in cash or shares of our Common Stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we repurchased $116.5 million principal amount at maturity of these notes in privately negotiated transactions with a portion of the proceeds of a private placement of $300 million of floating rate senior convertible securities, further described below.
In December 2001, we completed a public offering of mandatory convertible debt securities ("FELINE PRIDES"). A sale of an over-allotment of the securities was completed in January 2002, and increased the amount outstanding to $230 million. As described below, these securities are structured to provide $230 million in additional proceeds to us following a successful remarketing and the exercise of forward purchase contracts in November 2004.
Each FELINE PRIDE initially consists of (i) a senior note due November 17, 2006 with a principal amount of $25 per note (each, a "Senior Note"), on which we pay interest quarterly at the annual rate of 6%, and (ii) a forward purchase contract pursuant to which the holder has agreed to purchase, for $25 per contract, shares of our Common Stock on November 17, 2004, with the number of shares to be determined based upon the average trading price of our Common Stock for a period preceding that date. Depending on the average trading price in that period, the number of shares of our Common Stock to be issued in the settlement of the contracts will range from 2,736,000 to 3,146,000, which represents a "settlement rate" of 0.2974 to 0.3420 shares, respectively, per $25 Senior Note. Based on the current trading price of our Common Stock, the purchase contracts would settle for 3,146,000 shares, which equates to the receipt of $73.10 for each share issued.
Each of the Senior Notes is pledged to us to collateralize the holder's obligations under the forward purchase contracts. Beginning in August 2004, the Senior Notes will be remarketed to new investors. A successful remarketing will generate $230 million of proceeds to be used by the original holders of the FELINE PRIDES to honor their obligations on the forward purchase contracts. In exchange for the additional $230 million in payment on the forward purchase contracts, we will issue shares of our Common Stock. As referenced above, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued will be determined by the price of our Common Stock at that time. The Senior Notes will remain outstanding until November 2006 and (assuming a successful remarketing) will be held by the new investors.
In anticipation of the repurchase of outstanding zero coupon senior convertible notes, as discussed above, we completed a private placement of $300 million of floating rate senior convertible securities in February 2003. These securities bear interest at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR minus 0.50%, payable in cash quarterly. Each $1,000 floating rate senior convertible security is convertible into shares of our Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events, including the following: (i) if the closing price of our Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceeds $97.50 per share over certain periods; (ii) if the credit rating assigned by Standard & Poor's is below BB-; or (iii) if we exercise our option to call the convertible securities for redemption. Upon conversion, the holders will receive 12.3077 shares of our Common Stock for each $1,000 floating rate senior convertible security. In addition, if the market price of our Common Stock exceeds $81.25 per share at the time of conversion, holders will receive additional shares of our Common Stock based on the price of our Common Stock at the time of the conversion. We may redeem the floating rate senior convertible securities for cash at any time on or after February 25, 2008 at their principal amount. The holders of the convertible securities may require us to repurchase such securities on February 25 of 2008, 2013, 2018, 2023 and 2028, at their
26
principal amount. We may choose to pay the purchase price for such repurchases in cash or shares of our Common Stock.
The floating rate senior convertible securities are considered contingent payment debt instruments under federal income tax regulations. These regulations require us to deduct interest expense at the rate at which we would issue a non-contingent, non-convertible, fixed-rate debt instrument. When the implied interest rate for tax purposes is greater than the actual interest rate, a deferred tax expense is generated. While the implied interest rate for these securities for tax purposes is 5.62%, the actual rate is three-month LIBOR minus 0.50% (as of August 11, 2003, this rate equaled 0.68%). Based on current LIBOR rates, we believe our issuance of these securities will increase our deferred taxes by approximately $5.7 million per year. While these deferred tax liabilities may never reverse, all will reverse if, on the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the securities or later, the securities are redeemed, and if our Common Stock is trading at $81.25 per share or less. All deferred taxes will be reclassified to equity if the securities convert and our Common Stock is trading at more than $91.35 per share when it is delivered to holders.
Our obligations to purchase additional equity in our Affiliates extend over the next 14 years. These payment obligations will occur at varying times and in varying amounts over that period, and the actual timing and amounts of such obligations generally cannot be predicted with any certainty. As one measure of the potential magnitude of such obligations, assuming that all such obligations had become due as of June 30, 2003, the aggregate amount of these obligations would have totaled approximately $597.2 million. Assuming the closing of such additional purchases, we would own the prospective cash flow distributions associated with all additional equity so purchased, estimated to be approximately $77.6 million on an annualized basis as of June 30, 2003. In order to provide the funds necessary for us to meet such obligations and for us to continue to acquire interests in investment management firms, it may be necessary for us to incur, from time to time, additional debt and/or to issue equity or debt securities, depending on market and other conditions. These potential obligations, combined with our other cash needs, may require more cash than is available from operations, and therefore, we may need to raise capital by making additional borrowings or by selling shares of our stock or other equity or debt securities, or to otherwise refinance a portion of these obligations.
Operating Cash Flow
Cash flow from operations generally represents net income plus non-cash charges for amortization, deferred taxes and depreciation as well as the changes in our consolidated working capital. The decrease in cash flow from operations in the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002, resulted principally from the timing of year-end bonus compensation payments. While for the year ended December 31, 2001, a significant portion of compensation bonus payments was made in December 2001, a significant portion of such payments for the year ended December 31, 2002 was made in the first quarter of 2003.
Supplemental Liquidity Measure
As supplemental information in this report, we have provided information regarding our EBITDA, a non-GAAP liquidity measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, cash flow from operations. EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA, as calculated by us, may not be consistent with computations of EBITDA by other companies. As a measure of liquidity, we believe EBITDA is useful as an indicator of our ability to service debt, make new investments and meet working capital requirements.

Investing Cash Flow
Changes in net cash flow from investing activities resulted primarily from our additional equity investments in existing Affiliates. Net cash flow used to make these investments was $15.8 million and $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, and 2003, respectively.
Financing Cash Flow
The increase in net cash flow from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002, was attributable to our issuance of the floating rate senior convertible securities in February 2003. The principal sources of cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003 were the issuances of convertible debt securities. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, our uses of cash from financing activities were for the repurchase of $116.5 million of principal amount at maturity of the zero coupon senior convertible securities, the repurchase of shares of our Common Stock and the repayment of debt.
During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we repurchased 744,500 shares of our Common Stock at an average price of $45.24 per share under our share repurchase program. Our share repurchase program was authorized by the Board of Directors in April 2000, permitting us to repurchase up to 5% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. In July 2002 and April 2003, our Board of Directors approved increases to the existing share repurchase program, in each case authorizing the purchase of up to an additional 5% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The timing and amount of purchases are determined at the discretion of our management. At August 11, 2003, a total of 1,341,144 shares of Common Stock remained authorized for repurchase under the program.
Market Risk
We are currently affected by changes in interest rates through our floating rate senior convertible securities, which bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR minus 0.50%, currently calculated to be 0.68%. If three-month LIBOR increased, our interest expense would increase and, as a result, our Net Income would decrease. For example, if three-month LIBOR increases 0.50% (i.e., 50 basis points), our quarterly interest expense, net of taxes, would increase by approximately $225,000.
In the past we have used interest rate derivative contracts to manage interest rate risk associated with our borrowings under our senior credit facility, which are subject to changes in the LIBOR rate. During February 2001, we became a party to $50 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts. In February 2002, we closed $25 million notional amount of these contracts and entered into a new $25 million notional amount contract, which was subsequently closed in June 2002. In December 2002 our remaining $25 million notional amount interest rate swap contract expired.
28
Although we do not currently have any interest rate swap contracts in place, we may enter into such contracts, or engage in similar hedging activities, in the future.
In using these derivative instruments, we face certain risks that are not directly related to market movements including, but not limited to, credit risk. Credit risk, or the risk of loss arising from a counterparty's failure or inability to meet payment or performance terms of a contract, is a particularly significant element of an interest rate swap contract. We attempt to control this risk through analysis of our counterparties and ongoing examinations of outstanding payments and delinquencies. There can be no assurance that we will use such derivative contracts in the future or that the amount of coverage that we might obtain will cover all of our indebtedness outstanding at any such time. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any future derivative contracts will meet their overall objective of reducing our interest expense.
