1See 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”).
2Effective 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 exclude the amortization of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted at the time of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), and assume for the periods prior to the Principals’3 exchanges on April 24, 20124, that the Principals’ non-controlling interests have been fully exchanged for shares of Class A common stock. The Company’s adjusted results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and the three months ended March 31, 2012, exclude certain costs associated with organizational changes. The Company’s adjusted results for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and the three months ended March 31, 2012, also exclude the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs in connection with the early repayment of the Company’s term debt. Adjusted results are presented to provide more meaningful comparisons between periods.

 

For the second quarter of 2012, adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors was $3.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, a decrease of 50% and 55%, respectively, from adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $6.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012, and a decrease of 86% and 87%, 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.

 

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Artio Global Investors for the second quarter of 2012 was $1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, a decrease of 67% and 63%, respectively, from net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $4.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012, and a decrease of 93% and 92%, 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.

 

For the first six months of 2012, adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors was $9.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, a decrease in each case of 80% from adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $47.5 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2011.

 

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Artio Global Investors for the first six months of 2012 was $6.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, a decrease in each case of 86% from net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $43.2 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2011.

 

The following table compares the Company’s GAAP results and adjusted results. See Exhibits 3 – 5 of this news release for a reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP results to adjusted results.

Business Update7

 

·Net client cash outflows moderated to $4.5 billion for the second quarter of 2012
·The Company has decided to refocus on its long-established expertise in cross-border investing and will therefore discontinue its US Equity strategies. This action will enable the Company to better manage its resources for current business conditions.

 

Management Commentary

 

“We are realigning our business in order to focus on the asset classes where we believe active investment management offers the greatest opportunities to benefit clients,” said Richard Pell, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. “Accordingly, we are closing our US Equity strategies, which at the end of the second quarter represented less than one percent of the firm’s total assets under management.”

 

“This action, together with other cost reduction efforts, will result in meaningful operating expense savings. Most importantly, it enables us to concentrate our resources on our long-established expertise in cross-border investing in both equity and fixed income markets, and to continue pursuing growth and diversification opportunities within these core product areas.”

 

Second Quarter of 2012 Comparison with Second Quarter of 2011

 

Assets Under Management and Net Client Cash Flows

 

Assets under management were $21.2 billion as of June 30, 2012, down $25.7 billion, or 55%, from $46.8 billion as of June 30, 2011, due to net client cash outflows and market depreciation.

 

Net client cash outflows for the second quarter of 2012 were $4.5 billion, driven primarily by net client cash outflows from our International Equity I and II, and High Yield strategies.8

Revenues and Other Operating Income

 

Revenues and other operating income for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $32.7 million, down 58% from $78.2 million for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease was driven primarily by lower investment management fees of $33.3 million for the second quarter of 2012, down 57% from $78.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, due to lower average assets under management and a decrease in the effective fee rate.

 

Expenses

 

Employee Compensation and Benefits

 

For the second quarter of 2012, adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses were $16.5 million, down 29% from $23.2 million for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease was due primarily to lower incentive compensation accruals and lower headcount.

 

GAAP employee compensation and benefits expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $19.4 million, down 25% from $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to the reasons noted above.

Shareholder servicing and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $3.0 million, down 41% from $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, driven primarily by lower platform costs, reflecting a decrease in average assets under management in proprietary funds.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $7.7 million, a decrease of 25% from $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to lower expenses across most categories.

 

Non-operating Income (Loss)

Income Taxes

 

For the second quarter of 2012, the adjusted effective tax rate was 22.0%, 18.9 percentage points lower than the 40.9% adjusted effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease was due primarily to a tax benefit in the second quarter of 2012 resulting from the reversal of a tax liability reserve upon settlement of an uncertain tax position.

 

GAAP income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2012 was $0.3 million compared to GAAP income tax expense of $14.9 million for the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to a 97% decrease in income before income tax expense and the reason noted above.

For the second quarter of 2012, the adjusted effective tax rate was 22.0%, 27.2 percentage points lower than the 49.2% adjusted effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was due primarily to a tax benefit in the second quarter of 2012 resulting from the reversal of a tax liability reserve upon settlement of an uncertain tax position and the write-off of a deferred tax asset related to the vesting of RSUs at a price below their grant date price in the first quarter of 2012.

 

GAAP income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2012 was $0.3 million compared to GAAP income tax expense of $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2012 due primarily to a 90% decrease in income before income tax expense and the reasons noted above.

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. The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.

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 related 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 months ended Mar. 31, 2012, and the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2012, also exclude certain costs associated with organizational changes.
   
(b) The adjustments to income taxes for all periods presented prior to the Principals’ exchanges on April 24, 2012, 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 months ended Mar. 31, 2012, and the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2012, also include adjustments to reflect the tax effect of excluding costs associated with organizational changes.
   
  The three months ended Mar. 31, 2012, and the six months ended Jun. 30, 2012, also include an adjustment to reflect the tax effect of excluding the one-time write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs in connection with the early repayment of the Company’s term debt.
   
(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, for periods prior to the Principals’ exchanges on April 24, 2012, assumes the Principals have fully exchanged their New Class A Units in Artio Global Holdings LLC for an equivalent amount of 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 income attributable to non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Investment Products and Non-operating income.  Management believes these adjustments provide a more useful measure for comparing Non-operating income between periods.
   
(f) Adjustments to eliminate the one-time write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs in connection with the early repayment of the Company’s term debt.

1.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.
