Special Dividend:
The Company today announced that its board of directors has approved a $4.00 per share special cash dividend to shareholders of record on December 5, 2014 payable December 15, 2014. The company will finalize the tax characterization of the dividend in February 2015 and expects 100% of the distribution to be classified as a qualified dividend.
While this is the seventh consecutive year that the company has paid a special dividend, there can be no assurance that the company will pay a dividend in the future. The Board of Directors and management continually review various factors to determine whether the company has capital in excess of that required for the business and the appropriate use of any excess capital. The factors considered include the company’s investment opportunities, the company’s risks, and future dividend and capital gain tax rates. We believe that we should retain a larger portion of our operating profits so that we can adequately seed new strategies and support existing strategies, which we believe will help us to continue to grow the company’s intrinsic value per share over the long term.
Evaluating management’s stewardship of capital for shareholders is a central part of our intrinsic value investment discipline that we practice for our clients. We hold ourselves to the same standard that we look for when evaluating investments for our clients.

Use of Supplemental Data as Non-GAAP Performance Measure
Net Operating Income After Tax
As supplemental information, we provide performance measures that are based on methodologies other than generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) for “Net Operating Income After Tax” that management uses as benchmarks in evaluating and comparing the period-to-period operating performance of the Company and subsidiaries.
The Company defines “net operating income after tax” as our net operating income less income tax provision, excluding investment related activity and the tax impact related to the investment related activity. We believe that “net operating income after tax” provides a good representation of our operating performance, as it excludes the impact of investment related activity on financial results. The amount of the investment portfolio and market fluctuations on the investments may change significantly from one period to another, which can distort the underlying earnings of a company. We also believe “net operating income after tax” is an important metric in estimating the value of an asset management business. This non-GAAP measure is provided in addition to net income and net operating income and is not a substitute for net income or net operating income and may not be comparable to non-GAAP performance measures of other companies.
