Revenue
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $81.8 million, an increase of $997,000 from $80.8 million for the third quarter of 2014. Higher average assets under management in institutional accounts and open-end mutual funds resulted in the following revenue increases:
$665,000 from institutional accounts; and
$429,000 from open-end mutual funds.
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $313.9 million, an increase of $16.2 million from $297.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Expenses
Expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $49.5 million, an increase of $974,000 from $48.5 million for the third quarter of 2014. The change was primarily due to:
Higher general and administrative expenses of $1.6 million, primarily due to higher fund-related expenses as well as increases in hosted and sponsored conference expenses, including travel; and
Lower employee compensation and benefits expenses of $537,000 primarily attributable to lower production compensation.
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $192.0 million, an increase of $622,000 from $191.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Operating Margin
The company's operating margin decreased to 39.5% for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared with 40.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 38.8% compared with 35.7% for the year ended December 31, 2013.

2



Non-operating Income
Non-operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $4.5 million, an increase of $984,000 from a loss of $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to unrealized losses on the company's seed investments. The non-operating loss included net losses attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $525,000 and $147,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively. Non-operating income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $73,000, compared with a non-operating loss of $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The non-operating income for the year ended December 31, 2014 included net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $224,000 and the non-operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 included a net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $4.9 million.
