Revenue
Revenue for the third quarter of 2015 was $79.7 million, a decrease of $3.8 million from $83.5 million for the second quarter of 2015. Lower average assets under management in the quarter resulted in the following decreases in investment advisory and administration fees:
Open-end mutual funds decreased $2.0 million to $32.8 million for the third quarter of 2015;
Institutional accounts decreased $0.9 million to $20.6 million for the third quarter of 2015; and
Closed-end funds decreased $0.8 million to $20.0 million for the third quarter of 2015.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $247.0 million, an increase of $14.9 million from $232.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Expenses
Expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $48.2 million, a decrease of $4.1 million from $52.3 million for the second quarter of 2015. The change was primarily due to:
A decrease of $2.5 million in employee compensation and benefits expense when compared with the second quarter of 2015, which included an adjustment that increased the compensation to revenue ratio due to lower than expected revenue growth;
Lower distribution and service fees of $0.9 million, primarily due to lower average assets under management in our open-end no-load mutual funds; and
Lower general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million, primarily due to decreased business related travel and hosted events during the third quarter of 2015.
Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $149.8 million, an increase of $7.3 million from $142.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Operating Margin
The company's operating margin increased to 39.5% for the third quarter of 2015 compared with 37.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 39.4% compared with 38.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Non-operating Income
Non-operating loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $3.0 million, compared with non-operating income of $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. The change was primarily due to realized and unrealized losses on the company's seed investments. Non-operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $2.7 million, compared with non-operating income of $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
