Financial Update

·
Adjusted1 net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $15.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011 (GAAP net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $6.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share)

The Company’s GAAP results include a previously announced compensation charge (the “Compensation Charge”) of $7.6 million related to organizational changes designed to lower the Company’s operating costs and more efficiently manage resources for current business conditions.  The Compensation Charge reduced GAAP net income attributable to Artio Global Investors by $0.08 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2011.  The Company’s adjusted results exclude the Compensation Charge.

See Exhibits 3 - 5 of this news release for a reconciliation of the Company’s U.S. GAAP results to its non-GAAP adjusted results (“adjusted”).
2
Effective fee rate is defined as annualized investment management fees (based on the number of days in the period) divided by the average assets under management for the period.

 
 

 

The Company’s adjusted results for all periods assume the Principals’3 non-controlling interests have been fully exchanged for shares of Class A common stock and exclude the amortization of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted at the time of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”).  Adjusted results are presented to provide more meaningful comparisons between periods.

The Company’s adjusted non-operating loss for the third quarter of 2011 of $4.7 million (GAAP non-operating loss of $6.2 million) includes non-operating losses of $4.3 million on seed capital investments, primarily reflecting market depreciation.

For the third quarter of 2011, adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors was $15.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, a decrease of 32% and 31%, respectively, from adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $23.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011, and a decrease in each case of 33% from adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $23.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010.

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Artio Global Investors for the third quarter of 2011 was $6.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, a decrease of 70% and 69%, respectively, from net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $21.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011, and a decrease in each case of 68% from adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $20.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010.

For the first nine months of 2011, adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors was $63.4 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, a decrease in each case of 16% from adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $75.7 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2010.

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Artio Global Investors for the first nine months of 2011 was $49.6 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, a decrease of 14% and 25%, respectively, from net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $57.8 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2010.

Management Commentary
 
“The third quarter saw sharply lower equity markets and a return to heightened levels of volatility,” said Richard Pell, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. “Against this market backdrop, it proved to be a challenging quarter for our International Equity strategies, although we were pleased to see some moderation in outflows from our open International Equity II strategy. We continue to have a high degree of conviction in our portfolio positioning, particularly around the rise of the emerging market consumer, taking a considered long-term approach even at the risk of short-term underperformance.”

“We are encouraged by the potential for growth within our fixed income strategies that will serve to diversify our business. During the third quarter, our High Grade Fixed Income strategy increased its asset base, and produced another quarter of strong performance relative to its peer group. After the recent sell-off, high yield is increasingly being viewed as under-priced, with industry fund flows swinging back to positive since quarter end. Given our strategy’s strong long-term performance, we believe that we are well-positioned to participate.”

“On the equity side, we also remain confident that our four US Equity strategies are well-positioned to generate inflows, given the strength of their three- and five-year track records. Although US investors currently lack focus on the asset class, we are encouraged by the early stage inquiries that we are seeing from European investors.”

“Additionally, we announced organizational changes during the third quarter designed to right-size our business and repurchased stock as part of our ongoing capital management.”

Third Quarter of 2011 Comparison with Third Quarter of 2010

Assets Under Management and Net Client Cash Flows

Assets under management were $34.3 billion as of September 30, 2011, down $19.6 billion, or 36%, from $53.9 billion as of September 30, 2010, due to net client cash outflows and market depreciation.

Net client cash outflows for the third quarter of 2011 were $4.2 billion, driven primarily by net client cash outflows from our International Equity I and II strategies, and our High Yield strategy.8

Revenues and Other Operating Income

Revenues and other operating income for the third quarter of 2011 totaled $63.8 million, down 21% from $80.9 million for the third quarter of 2010.  The decrease was driven primarily by lower investment management fees of $65.6 million for the third quarter of 2011, down 18% from $80.2 million for the third quarter of 2010, due primarily to lower average assets under management.

Expenses

Employee Compensation and Benefits

For the third quarter of 2011, adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses were $17.7 million, down 20% from $22.2 million for the third quarter of 2010.  The decrease was due primarily to lower incentive compensation accruals, partly offset by accruals related to the Company’s long-term incentive plan implemented in 2011.

GAAP employee compensation and benefits expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $28.4 million, up 15% from $24.8 million for the third quarter of 2010, due primarily to the Compensation Charge, partly offset by the reasons noted above.

Shareholder Servicing and Marketing Expenses

Shareholder servicing and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $4.7 million, down 6% from $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2010, driven primarily by lower marketing expenses and a decline in custody fees.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $9.5 million, a decrease of 16% from $11.2 million for the third quarter of 2010, due primarily to a decline in client-related trading errors and lower professional fees.

Income Taxes

For the third quarter of 2011, the adjusted effective tax rate was 41.4%, 2.0 percentage points lower than the 43.4% adjusted effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2010.  The decrease was due primarily to a lower apportionment of income for state and local tax purposes in the third quarter of 2011.

The GAAP effective tax rate was 64.9% for the third quarter of 2011, 17.5 percentage points higher than the 47.4% GAAP effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2010.  The increase was due primarily to a larger impact in the third quarter of 2011 from the write-off of deferred tax assets related to the vesting of RSUs granted at the time of the IPO, at prices below their grant date fair value, and the inability to record a tax benefit on non-operating losses attributable to the non-controlling interests’ economic ownership in the Consolidated Investment Products.

Third Quarter of 2011 Comparison with Second Quarter of 2011

Assets Under Management

Assets under management were $34.3 billion as of September 30, 2011, a decrease of $12.6 billion, or 27%, from $46.8 billion as of June 30, 2011, due to market depreciation of $8.4 billion and net client cash outflows of $4.2 billion.

Revenues and Other Operating Income

Revenues and other operating income for the third quarter of 2011 totaled $63.8 million, down 18% from $78.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, driven primarily by lower investment management fees.  Investment management fees were $65.6 million for the third quarter of 2011, down 16% from $78.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to a decrease in average assets under management.

Expenses

Employee Compensation and Benefits

For the third quarter of 2011, adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses were $17.7 million, down 24% from $23.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to a decrease in incentive compensation accruals.

GAAP employee compensation and benefits expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $28.4 million, up 10% from $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to the Compensation Charge, partly offset by the reason noted above.

Shareholder Servicing and Marketing Expenses

Shareholder servicing and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $4.7 million, a decrease of 9% from $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to a decrease in marketing expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of 9% from $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to lower professional fees.

Income Taxes

For the third quarter of 2011, the adjusted effective tax rate was 41.4%, 0.5 percentage points higher than the 40.9% adjusted effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2011.
  
The GAAP effective tax rate was 64.9% for the third quarter of 2011, 24.3 percentage points higher than the 40.6% GAAP effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to the write-off of deferred tax assets related to the vesting of RSUs granted at the time of the IPO, at a price below their grant date fair value, and the inability to record a tax benefit on non-operating losses attributable to the non-controlling interests’ economic ownership in the Consolidated Investment Products.

Total stockholders’ equity on the Statement of Financial Position was $153.7 million as of September 30, 2011, compared to $103.6 million as of December 31, 2010.

Share Repurchase

During the third quarter of 2011 the Company repurchased and retired 773,939 shares of Class A common stock at an average cost of $8.77 in connection with the 3,000,000 share repurchase program previously announced.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company retains authorization to repurchase 2,226,061 shares of its common stock through December 31, 2013.

Shares

As of September 30, 2011, the total number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding was 59,251,113.

On September 29, 2011, in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, 16,755,844 shares of Class C common stock held by our former sole stockholder, GAM Holding AG, were converted to an equal amount of shares of Class A common stock.

For purposes of calculating adjusted earnings per diluted share, the Principals’ New Class A Units, held in the intermediate holding company as of the beginning of the period are assumed to have been fully exchanged into shares of Class A common stock on the first day of the period.

Fund Performance and Other Disclaimers

Lipper rankings are for Class I mutual fund shares with three- and five-year track records only.  Other classes may have different performance characteristics.  Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds and fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives.  Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.  If an expense waiver was in effect, it may have had a material effect on the total return or yield for the period.

Morningstar rankings are for Class I mutual fund shares with a minimum three-year track record.  For each mutual fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)  The Overall Morningstar Rating for a mutual fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.  A fund’s independent Morningstar Rating metric is then compared against the mutual fund universe breakpoints to determine its hypothetical rating.

Data presented reflect past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. © 2011 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Exhibit - 5
 
Notes to Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Adjusted Consolidated Statements of Income
 

Management believes the Non-GAAP adjustments set forth below provide more meaningful comparisons between periods.  Additional information on the reorganization of the Company's ownership structure and the relating non-recurring items are discussed in the Company's prospectus dated September 23, 2009.

(a)
Adjustments to exclude the amortization expense associated with the RSUs awarded at the time of the IPO from all periods presented, as the granting of the awards was one-time in nature.

The three and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2011 also exclude the Compensation Charge, as this was non-recurring.

(b)
The adjustments to income taxes for all periods presented reflect the tax effect of the assumed full exchange of the Principals' non-controlling interests for Class A common stock on the first day of the respective period, since prior to such exchange, income tax expense excludes the U.S. federal and state taxes for the income attributable to the Principals and an adjustment to reflect the tax effects of excluding the amortization expense associated with the RSUs awarded at the time of the IPO.

The three and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2011 also include an adjustment to reflect the tax effect of excluding the Compensation Charge.

(c)
Adjustment to eliminate the Principals' non-controlling interests which are assumed to be exchanged for Class A common stock on the first day of the respective period.

(d)
Diluted shares outstanding assumes the Principals have fully exchanged their New Class A Units in Artio Global Holdings LLC for shares of the Company's Class A common stock.

(e)
Adjustments to eliminate third party investors' economic interests in the Consolidated Investment Products from both Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Investment Products and Non-operating loss.  Management believes these adjustments provide a more useful measure for comparing Non-operating loss between periods.

Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds and fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives.  Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.  If an expense waiver was in effect, it may have had a material effect on the total return or yield for the period.

 
For each mutual fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)  The Overall Morningstar Rating for a mutual fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.  A fund's independent Morningstar Rating metric is then compared against the mutual fund universe breakpoints to determine its hypothetical rating. Data presented reflect past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. © 2011 Morningstar, Inc.
