N/M - Not Meaningful

Long-term assets under management of $85.0 billion at June 30, 2017 increased $37.0 billion, or 77 percent, from March 31, 2017 reflecting $35.7 billion of assets resulting from the acquisition, market appreciation, and modest net outflows. Total assets under management at June 30, 2017 were $88.6 billion and included $3.6 billion of liquidity assets.
Total sales of $3.5 billion increased 6 percent sequentially and 44 percent from the prior-year quarter. The sequential-quarter increase reflects higher sales in open-end funds and institutional, while the year-over-year increase includes higher sales in all product categories.
Mutual fund sales of $2.3 billion increased sequentially and reflected higher sales in domestic equity and fixed income products. When compared to the prior-year quarter, mutual fund sales increased 67 percent due to higher sales in domestic and international equity and fixed income strategies.
Net flows were ($0.2) billion, which include ($0.7) billion from the acquired business, compared with $0.5 billion sequentially, as net outflows in institutional and structured products more than offset net inflows in retail separate accounts and ETFs. Net flows improved from ($2.2) billion in the prior-year quarter due to higher sales and lower redemptions in mutual funds, primarily emerging markets.
Mutual fund net flows in the second quarter were relatively flat compared with ($0.1) billion in the first quarter and ($2.4) billion in the prior-year quarter. The year-over-year improvement is due primarily to higher sales and lower redemptions in emerging markets and higher sales in domestic equity and fixed income strategies.

GAAP Results

Operating income decreased 68 percent sequentially to $3.2 million as higher operating expenses more than offset higher revenue. Operating expenses included $16.3 million of acquisition and integration costs, primarily severance and professional fees.
The second quarter net loss per diluted share of ($0.34) included ($1.63) of acquisition and integration costs, ($0.21) of discrete tax expense adjustments, ($0.14) of acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets, and ($0.11) of incremental interest expense. First quarter earnings per share of $1.62 included $0.71 of unrealized gains on investments, $0.08 of discrete tax expense adjustments, a $0.07 benefit from a lower share count, ($0.45) of specific employment expenses, and ($0.15) per share of acquisition and integration costs.
The effective tax rate was 99 percent and included discrete items of $1.5 million, primarily related to the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain state net operating losses.
Non-GAAP Results
Investment management fees, as adjusted, increased 27 percent sequentially, reflecting the impact of a 31 percent increase in average long-term assets. Employment expenses, as adjusted, increased 3 percent sequentially and reflect one month of expenses related to the new employees following the close of the acquisition and higher variable incentive compensation, which more than offset the impact of seasonal items in the first quarter. Other operating expenses, as adjusted, increased 30 percent from the prior quarter and included the additional operating expenses from the acquisition, annual equity grants to the Board of Directors, and higher sales and marketing costs.
Operating income, as adjusted, of $22.7 million increased 68 percent from the first quarter and included a $5.1 million contribution from the acquired business. Operating margin, as adjusted, was 29 percent, an increase from 21 percent on a sequential basis.
Net income attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted, was $1.61 per diluted common share, an increase of 39 percent from the first quarter.
The effective tax rate, as adjusted, was 38 percent, which was relatively unchanged from prior periods.

Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations
(in thousands except per share data)

The following are reconciliations and related notes of the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release differ from financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a result of the reclassification of certain income statement items, as well as the exclusion of certain expenses and other items that are not reflective of the earnings generated from providing investment management and related services. Non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures.

Notes to Reconciliations:

1.
Distribution and other asset-based expenses - Primarily payments to third-party distribution partners and third-party service providers for providing services to investors in our sponsored funds and payments to third-party service providers for investment management-related services. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that do not utilize intermediary distribution partners or third-party service providers.
2.
Consolidated investment products - Revenues and expenses generated by operating activities of majority-owned mutual funds and CLOs that are consolidated in the financial statements. Management believes that excluding these operating activities to reflect net revenues and expenses of the company prior to the consolidation of these products is consistent with the approach of reflecting its operating results from managing third-party client assets.
3.
Amortization of intangible assets - Non-cash amortization expense or impairment expense, if any, attributable to acquisition-related intangible assets. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions.
4.
Restructuring and severance - Certain expenses associated with restructuring the business, including lease abandonment-related expenses and severance costs associated with staff reductions, that are not reflective of the ongoing earnings generation of the business. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company's operating results with prior periods.
5.
Acquisition and integration expenses - Expenses that are directly related to acquisition and integration activities. Acquisition expenses include transaction closing costs, professional fees and financing fees. Integration expenses include costs incurred that are directly attributable to combining businesses, including compensation, restructuring and severance charges, professional fees, consulting fees and other expenses. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions.

6.
Other - Certain expenses that are not reflective of the ongoing earnings generation of the business. In addition, it includes income tax expense (benefit) items, such as adjustments for uncertain tax positions, valuation allowances and other unusual or infrequent items not related to current operating results to reflect a normalized effective rate. Preferred dividends are adjusted as the shares are mandatorily convertible into common shares at the end of three years and the non-GAAP weighted average shares are adjusted to reflect the conversion. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company’s operating results with prior periods.

Seed capital and CLO investments earnings (losses) - Gains and losses (realized and unrealized), dividends and interest income generated by seed capital and CLO investments. Earnings or losses generated by investments in seed capital and CLO investments can vary significantly from period to period and do not reflect the company’s operating results from providing investment management and related services. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with prior periods and with other asset management firms that do not have meaningful seed capital and CLO investments.



Definitions:

Revenues, as adjusted, comprise the fee revenues paid by clients for investment management and related services. Revenues, as adjusted, for purposes of calculating net income attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted, differ from U.S. GAAP revenues in that they are reduced by distribution and other asset-based expenses that are generally passed through to external parties, and exclude the impact of consolidated sponsored investment products.
