JANUS CAPITAL GROUP INC.

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of the management of Janus Capital Group Inc. (collectively, “JCG” or “the Company”), the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of JCG in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for inclusion in the accompanying financial statements through the issuance date; see Note 2 — Merger Agreement for a discussion of the merger announced on October 3, 2016. The Company determined that there were no other subsequent events that require disclosure. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements presented in JCG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 2 to the annual consolidated financial statements presented in JCG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, except for the adoption of the consolidation guidance and reclassification of debt issuance costs discussed below.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been revised to conform to current period presentation. Third-party sales and redemptions of consolidated seeded investment products were incorrectly netted against the associated purchases and sales of investment securities within investing activities on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Sales and redemptions of consolidated seeded investment products should be presented as a financing activity, and the offsetting purchases and sales of investment securities within the consolidated seeded investment products should be presented as an investing activity. Cash flows related to consolidated seeded investment products are now presented on a gross basis, within the sales (purchases) of securities by consolidated seeded investment products, net and third-party investments (redemptions) in consolidated seeded investment products, net captions on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Net investing activities were previously reported as ($123.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and were adjusted by ($33.0) million. Net financing activities were previously reported as ($181.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and were adjusted by $33.0 million. The corrections had no impact on the net change in cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new revenue recognition standard. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. The revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to its debt standard requiring debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts and premiums. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company retrospectively adopted this new accounting standard during the first quarter 2016 and

reclassified the December 31, 2015, debt issuance cost balances of $1.4 million and $2.4 million from other current assets and other non-current assets to current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, respectively, on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

In January 2016, the Company adopted the recently amended consolidation guidance issued by the FASB on a modified retrospective basis. The amended guidance eliminated the deferral for investment funds and modified the analysis for determining if an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The amended VIE analysis changed the assessment of kick-out rights and fees paid to a service provider when decision-making over an entity’s most significant activities has been outsourced. Additionally, limited partnerships and similar entities are now considered VIEs under the amended guidance unless limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued amendments to its financial instruments standard, including changes relating to the accounting for equity investments, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the amended guidance, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification (changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The amended guidance also requires financial assets and financial liabilities to be presented separately in the notes to the financial statements, grouped by measurement category (e.g., fair value, amortized cost, lower of cost or market) and form of financial asset (e.g., loans, securities). The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard on accounting for leases. The new standard represents a significant change to lease accounting and introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on to the balance sheet. The standard also aligns certain of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard. Furthermore, the new standard addresses other concerns related to the current leases model. The standard is effective for calendar periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to its principal-versus-agent guidance in the FASB’s new revenue standard. The key provisions of the amendment are assessing the nature of the entity’s promise to the customer, identifying the specified goods or services, application of the control principle and indicators of control. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. In addition, entities are required to adopt the amendment by using the same transition method they used to adopt the new revenue standard. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) that simplified several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The FASB issued the ASU with the intent of reducing diversity in practice regarding eight types of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting standard.

 

Note 2 — Merger Agreement

 

On October 3, 2016, JCG and Henderson Group plc (“Henderson”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) relating to the business combination of JCG and Henderson. Under the terms of the agreement, the businesses of JCG and Henderson will be combined under Henderson, which will be renamed Janus Henderson Global Investors plc (“Janus Henderson Global Investors”). The merger will take place via a share exchange, with each share of JCG common stock exchanged for 4.7190 Henderson ordinary shares. Janus Henderson Global Investors shares will be delivered to JCG shareholders as merger consideration, with Janus Henderson Global Investors applying for admission to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) as

its primary listing and with the existing listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) retained. Henderson and JCG shareholders are expected to own approximately 57% and 43%, respectively, of Janus Henderson Global Investors shares upon closing.

 

The closing of the merger is expected in the second quarter 2017 and is subject to, among things, (a) the approval of the shareholders of JCG of the merger; (b) the approval of the shareholders of Henderson of (i) the merger, (ii) the name change of Henderson, (iii) the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Henderson, (iv) the delisting of Henderson ordinary shares from the London Stock Exchange and (v) the payment of a dividend in respect of the second half of the 2016 fiscal year; (c) the receipt of the required antitrust approvals, including expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; (d) the receipt of the required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority; (e) the approval by the board of trustees and shareholders for JCG-advised U.S. mutual funds of new investment advisory agreements with JCG to take effect at the closing of the merger representing at least 67.5% of the assets under management of those funds as of September 30, 2016; and (f) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the merger.

 

JCG incurred $4.2 million of merger-related expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The merger expenses are included in general, administrative and occupancy on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

 

See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for additional information on the proposed merger with Henderson.

 

Note 3 — Consolidation

 

JCG adopted amended consolidation accounting guidance effective January 1, 2016. Upon adoption, JCG designated a number of its seeded investment products as VIEs, which are generally subject to consolidation by the Company at lower ownership percentages compared to the 50% threshold applied for voting rights entities (“VREs”) and are also subject to specific disclosure requirements. As a result of the adoption, the Company consolidated five additional seeded investment products as of September 30, 2016.

 

Analysis

 

JCG performs an analysis of affiliates and investment products to determine if the affiliate or product is a VIE or a VRE. Factors considered in this assessment include the entity’s legal organization, the entity’s capital structure and equity ownership, and any de facto agent implications of the Company’s involvement with the entity. Investment products that are determined to be VIEs are consolidated if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity. VREs are consolidated if the Company holds the majority voting interest. Upon the occurrence of certain events (such as contributions and redemptions, either by JCG or third parties, or amendments to the governing documents of the Company’s investment products), management reviews and reconsiders its previous conclusion regarding the status of an entity as a VIE or a VRE. Additionally, management continually reconsiders whether JCG is considered a VIE’s primary beneficiary, and thus consolidates such entity.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

Certain investment products for which a controlling financial interest is achieved through arrangements that do not involve or are not directly linked to voting interests are considered VIEs. JCG reviews factors, including whether or not i) the entity has equity that is sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated support from other parties and ii) the equity holders at risk have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, to determine if the investment product is a VIE. JCG re-evaluates such factors as facts and circumstances change.

 

JCG consolidates a VIE if JCG is the VIE’s primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is defined as the variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial interest is defined as i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that potentially could be significant to the VIE.

 

8



 

JCG is the manager of various types of seeded investment products, which may be considered VIEs. The Company’s involvement in financing the operations of the VIEs is generally limited to its investments in the entities. As a result of the adoption of amended consolidation guidance effective January 1, 2016, the Company consolidated certain seeded investment products that were not previously consolidated. Prior to January 1, 2016, none of the Company’s affiliates or seeded investment products were designated as VIEs.

 

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

 

JCG’s consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2016, include certain consolidated seeded investment products in which the Company has an investment and acts as the investment manager. The assets of these VIEs are not available to JCG or the creditors of JCG. JCG may not, under any circumstances, access cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated VIEs to use in its operating activities or otherwise. In addition, the investors in these VIEs have no recourse to the credit of the Company.

 

Consolidated VIE assets and liabilities are presented after intercompany eliminations at September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, in the following table (in millions):

The Company reviewed the gross unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities and determined that the losses were not other-than-temporary. The Company considered the duration, extent and circumstances of any decline in fair value as well as JCG’s intent and ability to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market value. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company maintains an economic hedge program that uses derivative instruments to hedge against market volatility of certain seeded investments. Fluctuations in equity markets, debt markets and commodity markets are hedged by using index swaps, index and commodity futures (“futures”) and credit default swaps. Certain foreign currency translation associated with the Company’s seeded investment products is also hedged by using foreign currency forward contracts.

 

JCG reassessed its hedging strategy during the first quarter 2016, which resulted in a reduction in the use of index swaps and an increase in the use of futures and credit default swaps to hedge against market volatility of certain seeded investment products. As of September 30, 2016, JCG was not using index swaps as part of the economic hedge program.

 

JCG was party to the following derivative instruments as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015:

The above derivative instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Changes in fair value of the index swaps, futures and credit default swaps were recognized in investment gains (losses), net on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts were recognized in other income (expense), net, on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

 

Index swaps, futures and credit default swaps are subject to a master netting arrangement. The values of the individual index swap contracts, futures and credit default swaps, including any associated cash collateral, are combined and are included on a net basis in other current assets on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign currency forward contracts are not subject to a master netting arrangement, and as such, fair values of the individual contracts are not netted and are included separately within either other current assets or other accrued liabilities on JCG Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Company posted $8.7 million and $3.3 million in cash collateral with the counterparty of the futures and credit default swaps as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively. The cash collateral is included in other current assets on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative Instruments in Consolidated Seeded Investment Products

 

Certain of the Company’s consolidated seeded investment products utilize derivative instruments to contribute to the achievement of defined investment objectives. These derivative instruments are classified within investment securities on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses on these derivative instruments are classified within investment gains (losses), net on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The consolidated seeded investment products posted $1.7 million and $4.7 million in cash collateral with the counterparty of the derivative instruments as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively.

As of September 30, 2016, certain consolidated seeded investment products sold credit protection through the use of credit default swap contracts. The contracts provide alternative credit risk exposure to individual companies and countries outside of traditional bond markets. The terms of the credit default swap contracts range from one to five years.

 

As sellers in credit default swap contracts, the consolidated seeded investment products would be required to pay the notional value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default on the debt obligation by the issuer. The notional value represents the estimated maximum potential undiscounted amount of future payments required upon the occurrence of a credit default event. As of September 30, 2016, the notional values of the agreements totaled $7.4 million. The credit default swap contracts include recourse provisions that allow for recovery of a certain percentage of amounts paid upon the occurrence of a credit default event. As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of the credit default swap contracts selling protection was $0.1 million.

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

 

JCG’s Level 1 fair value measurements consist mostly of seeded investment products, investments in advised mutual funds, cash equivalents and investments related to deferred compensation plans with quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value level of consolidated seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of unconsolidated seeded investment products and available-for-sale seeded investment products is determined using the respective net asset value (“NAV”) of each product. All seeded investment products for which the NAV is used to determine their fair value are classified as Level 1 and primarily represent seeded mutual funds where JCG’s ownership level is under 50% or where JCG is not considered the primary beneficiary.

 

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

 

JCG’s Level 2 fair value measurements consist mostly of cash equivalents, consolidated seeded investment products and JCG’s long-term debt. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased and consist primarily of commercial paper, certificates of deposit and other short-term investments. The fair value of consolidated seeded investment products in which JCG’s ownership level is above 50%, or JCG is the primary beneficiary, is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value of JCG’s long-term debt is determined using broker quotes and recent trading activity, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

 

JCG’s Level 3 recurring fair value measurements largely represent redeemable noncontrolling interests in INTECH Investment Management LLC (“INTECH”) and contingent consideration related to the acquisition of VS Holdings Inc., the parent company of VelocityShares, LLC (“VelocityShares”) and Kapstream Capital Pty Limited (“Kapstream”).

 

INTECH

 

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in INTECH are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that a material change in the fair value of INTECH has occurred. The fair value of INTECH is determined using a valuation methodology that incorporates observable metrics from publicly traded peer companies as valuation comparables and adjustments related to investment performance and changes in assets under management.

 

VelocityShares

 

The acquisition of VelocityShares in 2014 included contingent cash consideration. The payments are contingent on certain VelocityShares’ exchange traded products (“ETPs”) reaching defined net revenue targets on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the acquisition, in amounts up to $10.0 million each for the first and second anniversaries, and $8.0 million each for the third and fourth anniversaries. The fair value of the contingent consideration is calculated on a quarterly basis by forecasting net ETP revenue, as defined by the purchase agreement, over the contingency period, and determining whether net forecasted ETP revenue targets are achieved. Forecasted contingent payments are then discounted back to the valuation date using a 15% discount rate. Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation are considered non-public data and limited to forecasted gross revenues and certain expense items, which are deducted from these revenues. Increases in forecasted net ETP revenue would increase the fair value of the consideration, subject to payment limitations, while decreases in forecasted net ETP revenue would decrease the fair value. The fair value of the contingent cash consideration is included in the other accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In November 2015, VelocityShares reached the defined net ETP revenue target and the Company paid the first contingent consideration amount of $10.0 million, which represents the maximum amount for the first anniversary. As of September 30, 2016, the total maximum payment over the remaining contingent consideration period is $26.0 million.

 

Kapstream

 

The July 2015 transaction to acquire a controlling 51% voting interest in Kapstream included contingent cash consideration. The contingent cash consideration is payable at 18 and 36 months after acquisition if certain Kapstream assets under management reach defined targets. The fair value of the contingent consideration is calculated on a quarterly basis by forecasting certain Kapstream assets under management over the contingency period and determining whether the forecasted amounts meet the defined targets. Forecasted contingent payments are then discounted back to the valuation date using a 8.5% discount rate. Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation are considered non-public data and limited to forecasted Kapstream assets under management. The fair value of the contingent cash consideration is included in the other accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2016, the total maximum payment over the remaining contingent consideration period is $9.6 million.

 

Seeded Investment Products

 

As of September 30, 2016, a single security within the portfolio of a consolidated seeded investment product was valued using significant unobservable inputs, resulting in Level 3 classification. The fair value of the security was $3.8 million.

Nonrecurring Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

 

Nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements include goodwill and intangible assets. JCG measures the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets using a discounted cash flow analysis that requires assumptions regarding projected future earnings and discount rates. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities, such measurements have been classified as Level 3.

 

Transfers Between Fair Value Levels

 

The underlying securities of mutual funds and separate accounts may be denominated in a foreign currency. In some cases, the closing price of such securities may be adjusted to capture the effects of any post-closing activity affecting the markets in which they trade. Security prices are adjusted based upon historical impacts for similar post-close activity. These adjustments result in the securities being classified as Level 2 and may also result in movements of securities between Level 1 and Level 2.

 

Additionally, the deconsolidation of a seeded investment product can cause changes to its fair value level classification. Upon deconsolidation, the entire seeded investment product is valued using the NAV rather than valued using its underlying securities. Generally, seeded investment products that use the NAV to determine their fair value are classified as Level 1. During the first quarter 2016, a certain seeded investment product was deconsolidated and its $7.9 million of Level 2 assets were reclassified to Level 1.

 

Transfers are recognized at the end of each reporting period. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 classifications for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, are summarized as follows (in millions):

Fair Value of Debt

 

The fair value of debt was determined using broker quotes and any recent trading activity for each of the notes listed above, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

 

4.875% Senior Notes Due 2025

 

In July 2015, JCG issued $300.0 million of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (“2025 Senior Notes”), which pay interest at 4.875% semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year and mature on August 1, 2025. The 2025 Senior Notes include unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount at September 30, 2016, of $2.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the notes. The unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount are recorded as a contra liability within long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

0.750% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2018

 

The initial conversion rate of the 0.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (“2018 Convertible Notes”) was 92.06 shares of JCG common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2018 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.86 per share of common stock. The initial conversion rate was most recently adjusted during the third quarter 2016 when JCG paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, which was greater than the quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share at the time of issuance. As a result of the quarterly cash dividend paid on August 19, 2016, the conversion rate changed to 93.35 shares of JCG common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2018 Convertible Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $10.71 per share of common stock.

 

Holders of the 2018 Convertible Notes may convert the notes during a particular calendar quarter if the last reported sale price of JCG’s common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding quarter. As of September 30, 2016, the 2018 Convertible Notes met the criteria for early conversion and are convertible during the third quarter 2016. As such, the carrying value of the 2018 Convertible Notes was classified as current portion of long-term debt on JCG’s September 30, 2016 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The 2018 Convertible Notes conversion criteria are reassessed on a quarterly basis. Fluctuations in the price of JCG’s common stock may cause reclassification of the 2018 Convertible Notes between long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a quarter-to-quarter basis.

 

The 2018 Convertible Notes include unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount at September 30, 2016, of $1.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the notes. The unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount are recorded as a contra liability within current portion of long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrants

 

In connection with the 2018 Convertible Notes issuance in June 2013, JCG entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, which, in combination, are intended to reduce the potential for future dilution to existing

shareholders by effectively increasing the initial conversion price of the 2018 Convertible Notes to JCG from $10.86 to $12.60 per share of common stock.

 

The initial $10.86 and $12.60 per share of common stock exercise prices of the call options and warrants, respectively, were adjusted during the third quarter 2016 when JCG paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share. As a result of the quarterly cash dividend paid on August 19, 2016, which was greater than the quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share at the time of issuance, the exercise price of the call options changed to $10.71 per share of common stock, and the exercise price of the warrants changed to $12.43 per share of common stock.

 

Credit Facility

 

At September 30, 2016, JCG had a $200 million, unsecured, revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and swingline lender. The Credit Facility can be used by JCG and its subsidiaries for working capital needs and general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility bears interest on borrowings outstanding at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread, which is based on JCG’s long-term unsecured debt credit rating (“credit rating”). JCG is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion of the Credit Facility, which is also based on JCG’s credit rating. Under the Credit Facility, the financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x, and the interest coverage ratio must equal or exceed 4.00x. At September 30, 2016, JCG was in compliance with all covenants, and there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility at September 30, 2016, or during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 23, 2018.

 

Note 7 — Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, are as follows:

Effective tax rate

 

35.3

The change in effective tax rates for the three-month periods presented was primarily due to contingent consideration adjustments in both periods that resulted in a year-over-year reduction to the effective tax rate partially offset by non-deductible costs associated with the Merger Agreement. In addition, as of January 1, 2016, the Company’s statutory tax rate changed from 37.25% to 37.40% as a result of changes related to state taxes.

 

JCG historically determined that the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries will be repatriated to the United States. As of June 30, 2016, a deferred tax liability of $2.5 million related to the undistributed earnings of JCG’s foreign subsidiaries is included in deferred income taxes, net on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. JCG evaluated its liquidity requirement in the United States and the capital requirements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2016, and concluded that foreign earnings of $8.2 million will be indefinitely reinvested. As such, deferred income taxes of approximately $3.0 million have not been recorded on the indefinitely reinvested foreign subsidiary earnings.

 

As of September 30, 2016, JCG had $5.5 million of accrued reserves for income tax contingencies. JCG accrued additional reserves for income tax contingencies in the amount of $0.5 million and removed reserves of $0.8 million during the third quarter 2016, creating a net tax benefit of $0.2 million. JCG anticipates that its income tax contingency reserves will decrease by approximately $1.6 million in the next 12 months, primarily from the expiration of statutes of limitations and the resolution of audits. Accrued reserves for income tax contingencies are presented in other accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on JCG’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Consolidated Seeded Investment Products

 

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products may fluctuate from period to period and are impacted by changes in JCG’s relative ownership percentage of seeded products, changes in the amount of third-party investment in seeded products and volatility in the market value of the seeded products’ underlying securities. Third-party redemptions of investments are redeemed from the respective product’s net assets and cannot be redeemed from the assets of other seeded products or from the assets of JCG.

INTECH

 

INTECH ownership interests held by a founding member had an estimated fair value of $4.9 million and $5.2 million as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively, representing approximately a 1.1% and 1.0% aggregate ownership of INTECH, respectively. This founding member is entitled to retain his remaining INTECH interests until his death and has the option to require JCG to purchase from him his ownership interests of INTECH at fair value.

 

INTECH appreciation rights were granted in March 2016, February 2015 and October 2014 to retain and incentivize employees. The appreciation rights had a total grant date fair value of $27.8 million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period. The appreciation rights are exercisable upon termination of employment from INTECH to the extent vested. Upon exercise, the appreciation rights are settled in INTECH equity.

Note 9 — Long-Term Incentive Compensation

 

JCG generally grants annual long-term incentive awards during the first quarter of each year. JCG granted $0.6 million and $68.7 million in long-term incentive awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, which generally vest and will be recognized ratably over a four-year period. The 2016 awards consisted of $40.1 million of restricted stock (3.2 million shares at a weighted-average price of $12.47 per share), $26.0 million of mutual fund share awards and $2.6 million of INTECH long-term incentive awards.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, JCG recognized $1.2 million and $1.1 million of long-term incentive compensation expense related to mark-to-market adjustments of mutual fund share awards and deferred compensation plans, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.0 million during the same periods in 2015. Compensation expense associated with the INTECH appreciation rights, profit interests and phantom interests was $3.9 million and $11.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $4.1 million and $11.4 million during the same periods in 2015, respectively.

Dividends Per Share

 

The Merger Agreement requires JCG to operate its business in ordinary course and, subject to certain exceptions, may prevent JCG from taking certain actions without the approval of Henderson, including, but not limited to, dividend payments. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, subject to the approval of the JCG board of directors, JCG is permitted to pay a cash dividend in respect of the third and fourth quarters of 2016, in each case subject to a cap of $0.11 per share.

 

The following is a summary of cash dividends declared and paid for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

On October 20, 2016, JCG’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share. The quarterly dividend will be paid on November 18, 2016, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 7, 2016.

 

Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Commitments and contingencies may arise in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2016, there were no material changes in the commitments and contingencies as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, except as noted below.

 

Litigation and Other Regulatory Matters

 

JCG is periodically involved in various legal proceedings and other regulatory matters. Although there can be no assurances, based on information currently available, management believes that it is probable that the ultimate outcome of matters that are pending or threatened will not have a material effect on JCG’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Merger Agreement

 

The Merger Agreement discussed in Note 2 requires each of JCG and Henderson (1) to operate its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice in all material respects and to refrain from taking certain actions without the consent of the other party, (2) not to seek an alternative transaction, (3) subject to certain exceptions, not to withdraw the recommendation of its board of directors for the Merger Agreement, and (4) to use reasonable best efforts to obtain governmental, regulatory and third-party approvals.

 

The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights for both JCG and Henderson, including in the event that (1) the merger is not consummated by September 30, 2017, (2) the approval of the merger by the shareholders of Henderson or the stockholders of JCG is not obtained at the applicable shareholder meeting (or at any adjournment thereof) or (3) if there is in effect any governmental restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the merger. In addition, Henderson and JCG can each terminate the Merger Agreement prior to the receipt of the approval of the merger by the other party’s shareholders if, among other things, the other party’s board of directors has changed its recommendation that its shareholders approve the merger.

 

The Merger Agreement provides that if Henderson or JCG terminates the Merger Agreement because of a failure of the shareholders of the other party to approve the merger at the shareholder meeting, Henderson or JCG, as the case may be, will reimburse the other party for its actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses subject to a cap of $10.0 million. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including (a) a change in the recommendation of JCG’s Board of Directors or (b) a termination of the Merger Agreement by (i) JCG or Henderson due to the failure of JCG’s shareholders to approve the merger, (ii) Henderson due to a material breach of the Merger Agreement by JCG or (iii) JCG or Henderson because the merger is not consummated by September 30, 2017 (the “Outside Date”), in the case of each of clause (i), (ii) and (iii), at a time when there was an offer or proposal for an alternative transaction with respect to JCG and JCG enters into or consummates an alternative transaction within 12 months following such date of termination (in the case of clause (i) or (ii)) or within 12 months from the Outside Date (in the case of clause (iii)), JCG may be required to pay Henderson a termination fee equal to $34.0 million.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate,” “forecast”, “seeks”, “targets”, “outlook” and similar words and expressions and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could”, and variations or negatives of these words, are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Any statements that refer to expectations or other characterizations of future events, circumstances or results are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of Company management based on information currently available to management.

 

Various risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors specified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q included under headings such as “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in other filings and furnishings made by the Company with the SEC from time to time.

Overview

 

JCG provides investment management, administration, distribution and related services to financial advisors, individuals and institutional clients through mutual funds, separate accounts, other pooled investment vehicles, ETPs and subadvised relationships (collectively referred to as “investment products”) in both domestic and international markets. Over the last several years, JCG has expanded its business to become a more diversified manager with increased investment product offerings and distribution capabilities. JCG provides investment management competencies across a broad range of investment solutions, including equity, fixed income, alternative and multi-asset class strategies. The Company’s primary subsidiaries, Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus”), INTECH and Perkins Investment Management LLC (“Perkins”), each specialize in specific investment styles and have their own unique and independent perspective. JCG’s investment products are distributed through three primary channels: intermediary, institutional and self-directed. Each distribution channel focuses on specific investor groups and the unique requirements of each group. As of September 30, 2016, JCG’s complex-wide assets totaled $198.9 billion for mutual fund shareholders, clients and institutions around the globe.

 

JCG’s complex-wide assets include all assets under management and exchange traded notes (“ETNs”). ETNs are not included in assets under management. Assets under management primarily consist of domestic and international equity and fixed income securities.

 

Merger Agreement

 

On October 3, 2016, JCG and Henderson agreed to an all stock merger of equals. The merger was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of JCG and Henderson. The combined company will be named Janus Henderson Global Investors and will apply for admission to trade on the NYSE as its primary listing, while retaining Henderson’s existing listing on the ASX. Janus Henderson Global Investors intends to comply with all applicable U.S. and Australia security reporting requirements. The merger will be effected via a share exchange with each share of JCG common stock exchanged for 4.7190 newly issued shares in Henderson. Henderson and JCG shareholders are expected to own approximately 57% and 43%, respectively, of Janus Henderson Global Investors shares upon closing.

 

Janus Henderson Global Investors will be a leading global active asset manager with assets under management of more than $320 billion and a combined market capitalization of approximately $6 billion. The expected benefits of the merger include:

 

·                                          Expanded client-facing team

 

·                                          Diversified products and investment strategies

 

·                                          Enhanced talent

 

·                                          Financial strength

 

·                                          Value creation

 

JCG’s strength in the U.S. markets will be combined with Henderson’s strength in the United Kingdom and European markets to create a global asset manager with significant scale, diverse products and investment strategies, and a diverse geographic footprint. The growth potential of Janus Henderson Global Investors along with annual run rate cost synergies of approximately $110 million are expected to deliver significant value for shareholders. The merger is currently expected to close in the second quarter of 2017. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for additional information on the proposed merger with Henderson.

 

Dai-ichi Life Insurance Company (“Dai-ichi Life”), JCG’s largest shareholder with approximately 20% ownership, has committed to vote in favor of the merger. Post-merger, Dai-ichi Life will hold approximately 9% of Janus Henderson Global Investors and intends to further invest in Janus Henderson Global Investors to increase its ownership interest to at least 15%. To assist Dai-ichi Life in achieving its ownership target, Henderson has agreed, subject to the completion of the merger, to sell Dai-ichi Life options to subscribe for up to approximately 5% of new Janus Henderson Global Investors shares.

JCG incurred $4.2 million of merger-related expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The merger expenses are included in general, administrative and occupancy on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

 

Segment Considerations

 

Although JCG manages and distributes a wide range of investment products and services, the Company’s management directs JCG’s operations as one business, the investment management business, and thus operates in one business segment.

 

Operating Revenues, Performance Fees and Assets Under Management

 

Operating revenues are generally based upon a percentage of the market value of assets under management and are calculated as a percentage of the daily average asset balance in accordance with contractual agreements. Certain investment products are also subject to performance fees, which vary based on a product’s relative performance as compared to a benchmark index and the level of assets subject to such fees. Assets under management primarily consist of domestic and international equity and fixed income securities. Accordingly, fluctuations in domestic and international financial markets, relative investment performance, sales and redemptions of investment products, and changes in the composition of assets under management are all factors that have a direct effect on JCG’s operating results.

 

Third Quarter 2016 Summary

 

JCG finished the third quarter 2016 with assets under management of $195.1 billion, an increase of 2.2% from the second quarter 2016, as a result of market appreciation. Long-term net outflows in the third quarter 2016 were $2.4 billion compared to breakeven long-term net flows in the second quarter 2016.

 

Total operating revenue for JCG in the third quarter 2016 of $258.9 million increased $7.0 million, or 2.8%, from the second quarter 2016 as a result of increased average assets under management, partially offset by higher negative mutual fund performance fees.

 

Net income attributable to JCG common shareholders for the third quarter 2016 totaled $41.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared with $39.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2016. The increase in net income was primarily driven by the increase in operating revenue from higher average assets under management, partially offset by higher compensation costs and general, administrative and occupancy costs.

 

Net income attributable to JCG common shareholders, adjusted for merger-related costs, for the third quarter 2016 totaled $45.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share on an adjusted basis. See non-GAAP financial measures discussion in Results of Operations.

Valuation of Assets Under Management

 

The fair value of assets under management is derived from the cash and investment securities underlying JCG’s investment products. Investment security values are determined using unadjusted or adjusted quoted market prices and independent third-party price quotes in active markets. The fair value of the vast majority of the equity securities underlying JCG’s investment products is derived from readily available and reliable market price quotations while the fair value of a majority of the fixed income securities is derived from evaluated pricing from independent third-party providers. JCG uses adjusted market prices to value certain international equity securities in its domestic and non-domestic mutual funds to adjust for stale pricing that may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the NYSE. Security prices are adjusted based upon historical impacts for similar post-close activity. For fixed income securities with maturities of 60 days or less, the amortized cost method is used to determine the value. Securities for which market prices are not readily available or are considered unreliable are internally valued using appropriate methodologies for each security type or by engaging third-party specialists.

 

The pricing policies for mutual funds advised by JCG’s subsidiaries (the “Funds”) are established by the Funds’ Independent Board of Trustees and are designed to test and validate fair value measurements. Responsibility for pricing securities held within separate and subadvised accounts may be delegated by the separate or subadvised clients to JCG or another party. JCG validates pricing received from third-party providers by comparing pricing between primary and secondary vendors. Any discrepancies are identified and resolved.

 

JCG performs a number of procedures to validate the pricing received from third-party providers. For actively traded equity securities, prices are received daily from both a primary and secondary vendor. For fixed income securities, prices are received daily from a primary vendor and weekly from a secondary vendor. Prices from the primary and secondary vendors are compared to identify any discrepancies. In the event of a discrepancy, a price challenge may be issued to both vendors. Securities with significant price changes require additional research, which may include a review of all news pertaining to the issue and issuer and any corporate actions. All fixed income prices are reviewed by JCG’s fixed income trading desk to incorporate market activity information available to JCG’s traders. In the event the traders have received price indications from market makers for a particular issue, this information is transmitted to the pricing vendors.

 

All pricing vendors are subject to an annual on-site due diligence review that includes a detailed discussion about the methodologies used, particularly for evaluated prices, and any changes to the methodologies.

 

JCG is generally not the pricing agent for securities held within separate and subadvised accounts. However, JCG does perform a daily reconciliation between the pricing performed by the pricing agent and the pricing applied based on JCG’s procedures. Any pricing discrepancies are resolved with the client-designated pricing agent.

Investment Management Fees

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, investment management fees decreased $4.3 million from the same period last year, due to a product mix shift to lower yielding products, partially offset by higher average assets under management. Investment management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, decreased $32.4 million, due to lower assets under management and a product mix shift to lower yielding products.

 

Performance Fees

Negative mutual fund performance fees were driven by underperformance of certain mutual funds against their respective benchmarks. Negative mutual fund performance fees increased by $8.5 million and $13.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015, primarily due to underperformance of certain funds against their respective benchmarks.

 

Separate account performance fees relate largely to assets managed by INTECH. The decline in separate account performance fees is due primarily to the underperformance of certain INTECH accounts against their respective benchmarks. Separate account performance fees are recognized on a quarterly or annual basis. The performance fees recognized annually can cause meaningful fluctuations in operating revenue on a quarterly basis.

Employee Compensation and Benefits

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, employee compensation and benefits decreased $11.1 million compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower incentive compensation as a result of lower operating income. The company-wide incentive compensation plan is designed to link variable compensation to operating income.

 

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, long-term incentive compensation increased $3.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. The increases were primarily due to the expense associated with new awards granted in 2016, partially offset by vesting of awards granted in prior years and changes in long-term incentive compensation vesting assumptions.

 

JCG generally grants annual long-term incentive awards during the first quarter of each year. JCG granted $0.6 million and $68.7 million in long-term incentive awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The awards generally vest and will be recognized ratably over a four-year period.

 

Long-term incentive compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2016, is currently expected to be approximately $77 million to $80 million.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was largely due to the amortization of intangible assets related to the July 1, 2015, acquisition of Kapstream and higher depreciable assets related to property, equipment and software.

 

General, Administrative and Occupancy

 

General, administrative and occupancy decreased $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in the fair value and monthly accretion of VelocityShares contingent consideration, and the recognition of a $2.8 million loss on the reimbursement to a certain Janus mutual fund for an operational error in the third quarter 2015. These items were largely offset by $4.2 million in merger-related expenses recognized in the third quarter 2016.

 

General, administrative and occupancy increased $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to the merger-related expenses noted above and a $1.1 million increase in the fair value and monthly accretion of VelocityShares contingent consideration, partially offset by the 2015 operational error noted above.

Interest Expense

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, interest expense decreased $2.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. The decreases were primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of the Company’s third quarter 2015 debt restructuring. In July 2015, JCG issued $300.0 million of 2025 Senior Notes. The proceeds from the 2025 Senior Notes and cash on hand were used to redeem the Company’s outstanding 2017 Senior Notes in August 2015.

The change in the effective tax rates for the three month periods presented was primarily due to contingent consideration adjustments in both periods that resulted in a year-over-year reduction to the effective tax rate partially offset by non-deductible costs associated with the Merger Agreement. In addition, as of January 1, 2016, the Company’s statutory tax rate changed from 37.25% to 37.40% as a result of changes related to state taxes.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company presents adjusted operating income and adjusted net income attributable to JCG as non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide greater transparency into our business on an ongoing operations basis and allow more appropriate comparisons with industry peers. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate the business, and they are consistent with internal management reporting. The most directly comparable GAAP measures are operating income and net income attributable to JCG.

 

These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for any measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additional reconciling items may be added in the future to these non-GAAP measures if deemed appropriate. The tax effect related to reconciling items has been calculated based on the tax rate attributable to the jurisdiction to which the transaction relates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Merger Agreement

 

As discussed in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Merger Agreement requires JCG to operate its business in ordinary course and, subject to certain exceptions, may prevent JCG from taking certain actions without the approval of Henderson, including, but not limited to, dividend payments, debt repurchases, certain restructurings and credit facility draws. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, subject to the approval of the JCG board of directors, JCG is permitted to pay a cash dividend in respect of the third and fourth quarters of 2016, in each case subject to a cap of $0.11 per share.

 

Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand and short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased, including investments in money market funds. JCG believes that existing cash and cash generated from operations should be sufficient to satisfy its short-term capital requirements. Expected short-term uses of cash include ordinary operating expenditures, seed capital investments, dividend payments, income tax payments and interest payments on outstanding debt. JCG may use available cash for general corporate purposes and acquisitions. In addition, JCG may repurchase its outstanding debt securities in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, exchanges, tender offers or otherwise. Any repurchase of outstanding debt securities and common stock will depend on prevailing market conditions, JCG’s liquidity requirements, contractual and legal restrictions, and other factors.

 

As of September 30, 2016, the 2018 Convertible Notes met the criteria for early conversion and are convertible during the fourth quarter 2016. As such, the carrying value of the 2018 Convertible Notes was classified as current portion of long-term debt on JCG’s September 30, 2016 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 


(1)         As of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, cash held outside of the United States may not be entirely available for general corporate purposes due to approximately $30 million and $28 million of capital requirements associated with foreign subsidiaries of JCG, respectively.

(2)         Cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated seeded investment products are not available for general corporate purposes.

(3)         Includes noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products of $30.4 million and $13.8 million, respectively.

On October 20, 2016, JCG’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share. The quarterly dividend will be paid on November 18, 2016, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 7, 2016.

 

The Merger Agreement requires JCG to operate its business in ordinary course and, subject to certain exceptions, may prevent JCG from taking certain actions without the approval of Henderson, including, but not limited to, dividend payments. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, subject to the approval of the JCG board of directors, JCG is permitted to pay a cash dividend in respect of the third and fourth quarters of 2016, in each case subject to a cap of $0.11 per share.

 

Long-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Expected long-term commitments at September 30, 2016, include principal and interest payments related to the 2018 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes, capital and operating lease payments, redeemable noncontrolling interests, Perkins and INTECH senior profits interests awards, INTECH appreciation rights and phantom interests, and contingent consideration related to the acquisition of VelocityShares and Kapstream. JCG expects to fund its long-term commitments using existing cash and cash generated from operations, debt refinancing or access to capital and credit markets, as necessary.

 

Other Sources of Liquidity

 

At September 30, 2016, JCG had a $200 million, unsecured, revolving Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and swingline lender. The Credit Facility can be used by JCG and its subsidiaries for working capital needs and general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility bears interest on borrowings outstanding at LIBOR plus a spread, which is based on JCG’s credit rating. JCG is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion of the Credit Facility, which is also based on JCG’s credit rating. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 23, 2018.

 

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants with respect to leverage and interest coverage. The financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x, and the interest coverage ratio must equal or exceed 4.00x. At September 30, 2016, JCG’s financing leverage ratio was 1.16x and the interest coverage ratio was 20.93x. JCG was in compliance with all covenants, and there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility at September 30, 2016, or during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Cash used for investing activities totaled $25.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to cash used for investing activities of $156.9 million during the same period in 2015. The year-over-year change in cash used for investing activities is primarily due to the escrow of cash during the second quarter 2015 ahead of the acquisition of Kapstream. Purchases and sales of investment securities also contributed to the year-over-year change. JCG periodically adds new investment strategies to its investment product offerings by

providing the initial cash investment or “seeding.” The primary purpose of seeded investment products is to generate an investment performance track record in a product to attract third-party investors. JCG may redeem invested seed capital for a variety of reasons, including when third-party investments in the relevant product are sufficient to sustain the investment strategy.

 

Sales and purchases of securities by consolidated seeded investment products can fluctuate based on third-party investments and redemptions in the consolidated seeded investment products and is offset in cash provided by (used for) financing activities.

Cash used for financing activities totaled $136.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to cash used for financing activities of $148.9 million during the same period in 2015. The year-over-year change in cash used for financing activities is primarily due to the repayment of long-term debt and proceeds received from the issuance of debt in the third quarter 2015 and third-party investments and redemptions in consolidated seeded investment products, which can fluctuate based on third-party activity and is offset in cash used for investing activities. Also contributing to the year-over-year change is an increase in cash used for the repurchase of common stock and dividends paid to JCG shareholders. JCG maintains a share repurchase program to return capital to shareholders and offset dilution associated with the vesting of restricted stock.

 

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Company has had no material changes in its exposure to market risks from that previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

 

As of September 30, 2016, JCG’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed by the Company to ensure that it records, processes, summarizes and reports in a timely manner the information it must disclose in reports that it files with or submits to the SEC. Richard M. Weil, Chief Executive Officer, and Jennifer J. McPeek, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in management’s evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Weil and Ms. McPeek concluded that as of the date of their evaluation, JCG’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

43



 

There has been no change in JCG’s internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the third quarter 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, JCG’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

 

See Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies.

 

Item 1A.     Risk Factors

 

Except as discussed below, the Company has had no material changes in its risk factors from those previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Risks Related to the Merger with Henderson

 

The consummation of the merger is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals, that are outside of JCG’s control and that JCG may be unable to obtain. As a result, one or more conditions to closing of the merger may not be satisfied and the merger may not be completed.

 

JCG cannot provide any assurance that the merger will be completed or that there will not be a delay in the completion of the merger. The ability to consummate the merger is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks that the conditions to the merger are not satisfied, or if possible, waived, including, among others, (a) the approval of the shareholders of JCG of the merger; (b) the approval of the shareholders of Henderson of (i) the merger, (ii) the name change of Henderson, (iii) the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Henderson, (iv) the delisting of Henderson ordinary shares from the London Stock Exchange and (v) the payment of a dividend in respect of the second half of the 2016 fiscal year; (c) the receipt of the required antitrust approvals, including expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; (d) the receipt of the required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority; (e) the approval by the board of trustees and shareholders for JCG-advised U.S. mutual funds of new investment advisory agreements with JCG to take effect at the closing of the merger representing at least 67.5% of the assets under management of those funds as of September 30, 2016; and (f) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the merger. The process to obtain regulatory approvals could prevent, or substantially delay, the consummation of the merger.

 

If the merger is not completed for any reason, JCG may be subjected to a number of material risks. The price of JCG common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed. In addition, some costs related to the merger must be paid by JCG whether or not the merger is completed. Furthermore, JCG may experience negative reactions from its shareholders, clients and/or employees.

 

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that restrict JCG’s ability to pursue alternatives to the merger and, in specified circumstances, could require JCG to pay Henderson a termination fee of up to $34.0 million.

 

Under the Merger Agreement, JCG is restricted, subject to certain exceptions, from soliciting, initiating, knowingly encouraging, knowingly facilitating, discussing or negotiating, or furnishing information with regard to, any inquiry, proposal or offer for an alternative transaction from any person or entity. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including (a) a change in the recommendation of JCG’s Board of Directors or (b) a termination of the Merger Agreement by (i) JCG or Henderson due to the failure of JCG’s shareholders to approve the merger, (ii) Henderson due to a material breach of the Merger Agreement by JCG or (iii) JCG or Henderson because the merger is not consummated by September 30, 2017 (the “Outside Date”), in the case of each of clause (i), (ii) and (iii), at a time when there was an offer or proposal for an alternative transaction with respect to JCG and JCG enters into or consummates an alternative transaction within 12 months following such date of termination (in the case of clause (i) or (ii)) or within 12 months from the Outside Date (in the case of clause (iii)), JCG may be required to pay Henderson a termination fee equal to $34.0 million in cash.

There can be no assurance that the expected benefits of the merger will occur or be fully or timely realized.

 

The success of the merger will depend, in part, on the ability of JCG and Henderson to successfully integrate the businesses of JCG and Henderson. If JCG and Henderson are not able to successfully combine the businesses of JCG and Henderson in an efficient and effective manner, the anticipated benefits, synergies, operational efficiencies and cost savings may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, and the share price, revenues, levels of expenses and results of operations of Janus Henderson Global Investors may be adversely affected.

 

The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time consuming process, and the management of Janus Henderson Global Investors may face significant challenges in implementing such integration, including, without limitation:

 

·                                          diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns and performance shortfalls at one or both of JCG and Henderson as a result of the devotion of management’s attention to the merger;

 

·                                          difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects;

 

·                                          challenges of managing a larger post-merger company addressing differences in business culture and retaining key personnel;

 

·                                          conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies and compensation structures between JCG and Henderson;

 

·                                          challenges in keeping existing clients and obtaining new clients; and

 

·                                          coordinating geographically separate organizations.

 

Many of these factors will be outside of the control of JCG or Henderson and any one of them could result in increased costs and diversion of management’s time and energy, as well as decreases in the amount of expected revenues which could materially impact Janus Henderson Global Investors’ business, financial conditions and results of operations. In addition, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be realized. Actual growth and cost savings, if achieved, may be lower and may take longer to achieve than anticipated. Difficulties in the integration process and other disruptions resulting from the merger could adversely affect Janus Henderson Global Investors’ relationships with employees, clients, distributors and other persons with whom JCG or Henderson has a business relationship.

 

JCG’s shareholders cannot be sure of the value of the consideration they will receive in the merger. JCG’s shareholders will receive ordinary shares of the Janus Henderson Global Investors as a result of the merger, which have rights different from shares of JCG common stock.

 

Because the market price of Henderson ordinary shares and shares of JCG common stock will fluctuate, JCG’s shareholders cannot be sure of the value of the consideration they will receive in the merger. In addition, because the exchange ratio is fixed, the number of ordinary shares of Janus Henderson Global Investors to be received by holders of JCG common stock in the merger will not change between now and the time the merger is completed to reflect changes in the trading prices of JCG common stock or Henderson ordinary shares. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and British pound, changes in the respective businesses, operations and prospects of JCG and Henderson, and an evolving regulatory landscape. Market assessments of the benefits of the merger and the likelihood that the merger will be consummated, as well as general and industry specific market and economic conditions, may also impact market prices of JCG common stock and Henderson ordinary shares. Many of these factors are beyond JCG’s and Henderson’s control.

 

Upon completion of the merger, the rights of JCG’s shareholders will be governed by the memorandum of association and articles of association of Janus Henderson Global Investors. The rights associated with shares of JCG common stock are different from the rights that will be associated with Janus Henderson Global Investors’ ordinary shares. In addition, the laws of Jersey differ from the laws in effect in the U.S. and may afford less protection to holders of securities in Janus Henderson Global Investors. Finally, JCG’s shareholders will have a

 

46



 

reduced ownership and voting interest in Janus Henderson Global Investors and will exercise less influence over management of Janus Henderson Global Investors.

 

JCG will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions until the merger is consummated.

 

Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees, clients, distributors and other persons with whom JCG has a business relationship as well as regulatory permits, licenses, investment advisory agreements and other contracts, particularly for which the merger could be deemed a “change-in-control” under the applicable terms and conditions, may have an adverse effect on JCG and consequently on Janus Henderson Global Investors. These uncertainties may impair JCG’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the consummation of the merger and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause clients and others that deal with the parties to delay or defer certain business decisions or decide to terminate, modify or renegotiate their relationships with JCG, decide not to conduct business with JCG or take other actions as a result of the merger, which could negatively affect Janus Henderson Global Investors’ and/or JCG’s revenues, earnings and cash flows, as well as the market price of JCG common stock, regardless of whether the merger is consummated. Retention of employees could be challenging during the pendency of the merger due to uncertainty about their future roles. If key employees depart because of issues related to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the businesses, Janus Henderson Global Investors’s business following the consummation of the merger could be negatively impacted.

 

In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts JCG, without the consent of Henderson, from making certain acquisitions and divestitures, entering into certain contracts, incurring certain indebtedness and expenditures, paying dividends in excess of certain thresholds, repurchasing securities, issuing securities outside of existing equity award programs, materially increasing employee compensation and benefits, hiring any employee with an annual base salary in excess of a certain threshold and taking other specified actions until the earlier of the completion of the merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement. These restrictions may prevent or delay pursuit of strategic corporate or business opportunities that may arise prior to the consummation of the merger and may impair JCG’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel. Adverse effects arising during the pendency of the merger could be exacerbated by any delays in consummation of the merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.

Item 2.     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Common Stock Repurchases

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, JCG repurchased 3,772,389 shares of its common stock at an average price of $13.95 per share and a total cost of $52.6 million as part of the share repurchase program. The share repurchase program is conducted within the parameters of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. Any future repurchases of common stock will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual and legal restrictions, and other factors.

 

JCG also repurchased 406,659 shares of common stock from Dai-ichi Life on August 1, 2016, for a total cost of $5.9 million in order for Dai-ichi Life to comply with the ownership limit obligations under the investment agreement between JCG and Dai-ichi Life. At September 30, 2016, Dai-ichi Life owned approximately 20% of the outstanding common shares of the Company.

 

In addition to the share repurchase program, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, JCG withheld 962,273 shares from employees as part of a share withholding program to satisfy the employees’ minimum statutory income tax liabilities attributable to the vesting of restricted stock. The shares withheld had a value of $11.9 million and were deposited into treasury shares.
