Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. Reports 2Q16 Results
Milwaukee, WI - July 25, 2016 - Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM) (the “Company” or “Artisan Partners”) today reported its results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, including net income and earnings per share.

Eric Colson, Chairman and CEO, said, “During the two trading days after the Brexit vote, our AUM declined from $98.7 billion to $90.1 billion. AUM then rebounded in the last three trading days of the quarter to end at $95.0 billion. Markets remain volatile. Faced with political and economic uncertainty, historically low interest rates, and full equity valuations, asset allocators continue to move wealth into high capacity, low fee products, many of which are momentum-oriented and further amplify volatility. In the short term, this is an unfavorable business environment for high value added active managers like Artisan Partners.
“In response to the business headwinds and market volatility, we stay focused on Who We Are and what we can control. We focus on providing an ideal environment for investment talent. That means providing financial incentives for growth within a culture that provides unique individuals with the space and flexibility to be themselves and act on their convictions. The Brexit vote is another reminder that financial incentives alone are insufficient to generate desired outcomes or explain human behavior. For a majority of the voters, sovereignty and self-identity appear to have outweighed short-term economic self-interest. In managing our business, we keep that lesson in mind. Economic incentives matter, but talent needs freedom and time as well. Over the long-term, we believe that a transparent incentive structure, together with patience and flexibility, will generate superior outcomes for talent, clients, and shareholders.”
Business Update
Commenting on the second quarter of 2016, Mr. Colson said, “Our U.S. Value, Emerging Markets, High Income, and Developing World teams have all delivered strong year-to-date performance. The U.S. Value team’s Value Equity strategy has returned nearly 15% in 2016 gross of fees, while its broad-based benchmark has returned under 4%. The U.S. Mid-Cap Value, Emerging Markets, High Income, and Developing World strategies have each returned in excess of 7.63% in 2016 gross of fees. While six months is a short time period to assess performance, these numbers reflect the hard work and discipline of the U.S. Value and Emerging Markets teams, and the continued strong early performance of the Credit and Developing World teams position both teams well for continued organic growth.
“In thinking about what Brexit means to Artisan from an investment perspective, remember that each of our autonomous investment teams develops independent views and makes its own decisions across the entire investment process - from the impact of global macro-economic events to views on particular regions, currencies, companies and securities. This independence can be seen in the differentiated returns of our Global Value, Global Opportunities, and Global Equity strategies, all of which have a global mandate. Through the lead up to and fallout from the Brexit vote, the three strategies performed differently from one another. While each of our teams invests with a strategy designed to foster discipline through short-term market shocks, we expect our autonomous team structure to deliver diverse sources of alpha.
“During the second quarter, we experienced net client outflows of $2.3 billion. While our gross outflows were in line with our quarterly experience over the last several years, we saw a slow-down in gross inflows which was at least partially attributable to the demand for high capacity, low fee products that we don’t offer. We are committed to managing our capacity and protecting the integrity of each team’s investment process, which is in the best interests of clients, talent, and, ultimately, shareholders. One of the ways we manage capacity is by holding the line on our fee rates. We are unwilling to lock in low rates that are not reflective of the value our teams add and the scarcity of their investment capacity. If we compete on scale and fees, we risk jeopardizing long-term performance and our ability to attract and retain investment talent. Over the long term, we expect that the assets we seek will follow performance and talent, even if current industry trends favor indexing and scale.”

Assets Under Management Decreased to $95.0 billion
During the June quarter, our AUM decreased to $95.0 billion at June 30, 2016, a decrease of $2.0 billion, or 2.1%, compared to $97.0 billion at March 31, 2016, as a result of $2.3 billion of net client cash outflows partially offset by $0.3 billion in market appreciation and net transfers. Compared to June 30, 2015, AUM decreased $14.2 billion, or 13.0%, due to $7.2 billion of market depreciation and $7.0 billion in net client cash outflows.
Average AUM for the June quarter of 2016 was $96.6 billion, an increase of 4.0% compared to average AUM for the March quarter of 2016 of $92.9 billion and a 13.3% decrease from the average of $111.4 billion for the June quarter of 2015.
June Quarter of 2016 Compared to March Quarter of 2016
GAAP net income was $18.3 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share, in the June quarter of 2016 compared to net income of $16.3 million, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share, in the March quarter of 2016. Adjusted net income was $39.8 million, or $0.53 per adjusted share, in the June quarter of 2016 compared to adjusted net income of $37.6 million, or $0.51 per adjusted share, in the March quarter of 2016.
Revenues of $180.8 million in the June quarter of 2016 increased $6.3 million from $174.5 million in the March quarter of 2016 primarily due to higher average AUM in the June quarter.
Operating expenses of $121.9 million in the June quarter of 2016 increased $2.2 million from $119.7 million in the March quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of higher incentive compensation and third-party distribution expenses in the June quarter, both of which fluctuate with revenue and AUM, and increased technology expenses. The increases were partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in seasonal expenses. Seasonal expenses include employer funded retirement and health care contributions, payroll taxes, and non-employee director compensation.
GAAP operating margin was 32.6% for the June quarter of 2016 compared to 31.4% for the March quarter of 2016.
Adjusted operating margin was 36.6% for the June quarter of 2016 compared to 35.8% for the March quarter of 2016.

Revenues of $180.8 million in the June quarter of 2016 decreased $30.7 million from $211.5 million in the June quarter of 2015 primarily due to lower average AUM in the June quarter of 2016.
Operating expenses of $121.9 million in the June quarter of 2016 decreased $11.3 million from $133.2 million in the June quarter of 2015 primarily as a result of lower incentive compensation and third-party distribution expenses in the June quarter of 2016, both of which fluctuate with revenue and AUM, and a decrease in pre-offering related equity compensation expense. The decreases were partially offset by increased technology expenses and increased post-IPO equity compensation expense.
GAAP operating margin was 32.6% for the June quarter of 2016 compared to 37.0% for the June quarter of 2015.
Adjusted operating margin was 36.6% for the June quarter of 2016 compared to 42.1% for the June quarter of 2015.

Operating expenses of $241.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $27.4 million from $269.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily as a result of lower incentive compensation and third-party distribution expenses in 2016, both of which fluctuate with revenue and AUM, a decrease in pre-offering related equity compensation expense, and $6.5 million of initial start-up costs associated with the formation of our Developing World team incurred in 2015. The decreases were partially offset by increased technology expenses and increased post-IPO equity compensation expense.
GAAP operating margin was 32.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 35.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The Company’s management uses non-GAAP measures (referred to as adjusted measures) of net income and operating income to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of the underlying operations of the business and as a factor when considering net income available for distributions and dividends. These adjusted measures remove the impact of (1) pre-offering related compensation and (2) net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements. These adjustments also remove the non-operational complexities of the Company’s structure by adding back non-controlling interests and assuming all income of Artisan Partners Holdings is allocated to the Company. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide more meaningful information to analyze the Company’s profitability and efficiency between periods and over time. The Company has included these non-GAAP measures to provide investors with the same financial metrics used by management to manage the Company.
Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. The Company’s non-GAAP measures are as follows:
Adjusted net income represents net income excluding the impact of (1) pre-offering related compensation and (2) net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements. Adjusted net income also reflects income taxes assuming the vesting of all unvested Class A share-based awards and as if all outstanding limited partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings had been exchanged for Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. Assuming full vesting, exchange and conversion, all income of Artisan Partners Holdings is treated as if it were allocated to the Company, and the adjusted provision for income taxes represents an estimate of income tax expense at an effective rate reflecting assumed federal, state, and local income taxes. The estimated adjusted effective tax rate was 37.0% for the periods presented.
Adjusted net income per adjusted share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by adjusted shares. The number of adjusted shares is derived by assuming the vesting of all unvested Class A share-based awards and the exchange of all outstanding limited partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings for Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis.
Adjusted operating income represents the operating income of the consolidated company excluding pre-offering related compensation.
Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by total revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA represents income before income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of net income attributable to non-controlling interests, pre-offering related compensation and net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements

Pre-offering related compensation includes the amortization of unvested Class B common units of Artisan Partners Holdings that were granted before and were unvested at the Company’s IPO, which closed on March 12, 2013.

Net gain (loss) on tax receivable agreements represents the income or expense associated with the change in valuation of amounts payable under the tax receivable agreements entered into in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and related reorganization.

______________________________________ 
1 We measure the results of our composites, which represent the aggregate performance of all discretionary client accounts, including mutual funds, invested in the same strategy except those accounts with respect to which we believe client-imposed restrictions may have a material impact on portfolio construction and those accounts managed in a currency other than U.S. dollars (the results of these accounts, which represented approximately 9% of our assets under management at June 30, 2016, are maintained in separate composites, which are not presented in these materials).
2 Value-added is the amount in basis points by which the average annual gross composite return of each of our strategies has outperformed the broad-based market index most commonly used by our clients to compare the performance of the relevant strategy. Value-added for periods less than one year is not annualized. The Artisan High Income Strategy may hold loans and other security types that may not be included in the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. At times, this causes material differences in relative performance.
3 U.S. Mid-Cap Value assets under management include approximately $180 million of assets transferred into the strategy as part of the Artisan Small Cap Value Fund reorganization, which occurred on May 23, 2016. Upon completion of the reorganization, Artisan Partners ceased to manage assets in the U.S. Small-Cap Value strategy.
