Management Commentary
William J. Stromberg, president and chief executive officer, commented: “We continued to operate successfully during these unprecedented times. Following a powerful market rebound in the second quarter, the S&P 500 Index hit an all-time high in Q3, surpassing its February 2020 peak. Stocks retreated a bit in September, and apprehensions around the durability of the economic recovery loomed as Congress failed to agree on new fiscal stimulus legislation.
“In this period of uncertainty, we continue to anchor to our culture and remain focused on delivering for our clients and our stockholders. More than ever, strong long-term performance, outstanding client service, and broadly scaled investment capabilities are critical for active asset managers. In the third quarter:
▪Long-term investment performance remained strong. U.S. Equity, International Equity, and Multi-Asset continued to outperform on a long-term basis, with International Equity and Multi-Asset seeing particularly resilient results in the short-term. Fixed Income continued to show improvement, led by outperformance in our High Yield, Dynamic Global and Low Duration strategies.
▪Despite solid performance, firmwide net outflows of $5.3 billion were driven by ongoing pressure from passive in U.S. Equity, as well as a few institutional losses in U.S. Defined Contribution and some participant-level headwinds from the CARES Act. Nonetheless, we were pleased to see positive net flows in EMEA and APAC where we have been investing to strengthen our distribution capabilities.
▪We brought to market our first four active exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in early August. The Blue Chip Growth, Dividend Growth, Equity Income, and Growth Stock ETFs are now available on the major custodial platforms, which will bring our strategic investing capabilities to an even broader U.S. Intermediaries audience. We have been pleased with the investor interest and how our ETFs have traded to date.
▪We launched our sixth Japanese Investment Trust (ITM), the Global Technology ITM, and continued to develop our product pipeline, including a new Short Duration Income Fund, scheduled to launch in December, and the expansion of our sustainable product lineup.
▪With the recent publication of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) ratings for 2020, we were pleased to receive an 'A+' rating across each of the modules we report on, marking the third consecutive year in which we have been above the median in every category. These high ratings are a reflection of our ongoing efforts to further-integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into our investment process.
▪Our balance sheet remained strong, and our approach to capital management remained unchanged. Buybacks of 1.1 million shares brought year-to-date repurchases to 10.8 million shares as of September 30.

“I am grateful to our associates for their ongoing commitment to delivering for our clients, and the resiliency that they continue to show through these extraordinary times.”
Assets Under Management
During Q3 2020, assets under management increased $90.4 billion to $1.31 trillion. This increase was driven by market appreciation, partially offset by net cash outflows of $5.3 billion. The firm acquired client contracts from PNC Bank in September 2020 that added $1.2 billion of stable value assets under management. Clients transferred
$2.4 billion in net assets from the U.S. mutual funds to collective investment trusts and other investment products, of which $1.6 billion transferred into the retirement date trusts. The components of the change in assets under management, by vehicle and asset class, are shown in the tables below.

Assets under management in the firm's target date retirement products, which are reported as part of the multi-asset column in the table above, were $296.6 billion at September 30, 2020, compared with $284.2 billion at
June 30, 2020 and $292.4 billion at December 31, 2019. These portfolios experienced net cash outflows of
$5.5 billion in Q3 2020 and $5.0 billion in the first nine months of 2020.
Investors domiciled outside the United States accounted for 8.7% of the firm's assets under management at September 30, 2020 and 6.9% at December 31, 2019.
Financial Results
Net revenues earned in Q3 2020 were $1.6 billion, up 11.9% from Q3 2019. Average assets under management in Q3 2020 were $1.29 trillion, an increase of 14.4% from Q3 2019. The firm voluntarily waived money market advisory fees in Q3 2020 of $6.4 million to maintain positive yields for investors.
▪Investment advisory revenues earned in Q3 2020 from the firm's U.S. mutual funds were $939.5 million, an increase of 6.6% from Q3 2019. Average assets under management in these funds increased 9.0% to $708.8 billion in Q3 2020 from Q3 2019.
▪Investment advisory revenues earned in Q3 2020 from subadvised funds, separate accounts, collective investment trusts and other investment products were $529.8 million, an increase of 25.4% from Q3 2019. Average assets under management for these products increased 21.8% to $584.1 billion in Q3 2020 from Q3 2019.
▪The annualized effective fee rate of 45.2 basis points in Q3 2020 decreased compared to the 45.6 basis points earned in Q2 2020, primarily due to the impact of increased assets from higher market valuations in certain products with tiered-fee structures and higher Q3 2020 money market fee waivers. The Q3 2020 annualized effective fee rate also decreased from the 45.8 basis points earned in Q3 2019 due to client transfers within the complex to lower fee vehicles or share classes over the last twelve months and the money market fee waivers. Over time, the firm's effective fee rate can be impacted by market or cash flow related shifts among asset and share classes, price changes in existing products, and asset level changes in products with tiered-fee structures.
▪Administrative, distribution, and servicing fees in Q3 2020 were $126.5 million, an increase of 2.6% from Q3 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to higher retail transfer agent servicing activities. This increase was partially offset by lower 12b-1 revenue earned on certain share classes, including the Advisor and R classes, of the U.S. mutual funds as client transfers to lower fee vehicles and share classes over the last twelve months have reduced assets under management in these share classes.
4
Operating expenses in Q3 2020 were $866.9 million, an increase of 12.9% compared to Q3 2019. The increase in the firm's operating expenses from the 2019 quarter was primarily due to a $33.3 million increase in expenses related to the supplemental savings plan from higher market returns, higher salaries and annual bonus accrual, and the firm's continued strategic investments. The higher Q3 2020 expense related to the supplemental savings plan liability was largely offset by the non-operating gains earned on the investments used to economically hedge the related liability.
On a non-GAAP basis, the firm's operating expenses in Q3 2020 were $830.5 million, an 8.5% increase over
Q3 2019. The firm's non-GAAP operating expenses do not include the impact of the supplemental savings plan and consolidated sponsored products. The increase in non-GAAP operating expenses is largely attributable to higher salaries and annual bonus accrual and the firm's continued strategic investments.
▪Compensation and related costs were $552.3 million in Q3 2020, an increase of 18.4% compared to
Q3 2019. This increase was primarily related to the $33.3 million in higher expense for the supplemental savings plan, as strong market returns in Q3 2020 increased the liability compared with a minor increase from market returns in Q3 2019. Higher salaries and benefits due to a 5.6% increase in our average staff size and modest increases in base salaries at the beginning of 2020, as well as a higher annual bonus accrual, also contributed to the increase in 2020 costs. These increases were partially offset by higher labor capitalization related to internally developed software. The firm employed 7,635 associates at September 30, 2020, an increase of 3.7% from the end of 2019.
▪Distribution and servicing costs were $73.5 million in Q3 2020, an increase of 14.0% from
the $64.5 million recognized in Q3 2019. The increase was primarily driven by higher distribution costs as a result of continued inflows into our Japanese ITMs in Q3 2020 compared to Q3 2019.
▪Advertising and promotion expenses were $14.2 million in Q3 2020, a decrease of 17.0% over Q3 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by fewer conference and promotional events in Q3 2020 compared to Q3 2019.
▪Technology, occupancy, and facility costs were $115.6 million in Q3 2020, an increase of 8.5% from the $106.5 million recognized in Q3 2019. The increase was due to the ongoing investment in the firm's technology capabilities, including related depreciation and hosted solution licenses.
▪General, administrative, and other costs were $74.5 million in Q3 2020, a decrease of .9% compared with the $75.2 million recognized in Q3 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower travel-related expenses that were largely offset by higher professional fees and third-party investment research costs.
5
For the first nine months of 2020, operating expenses on a GAAP basis increased 6.0% compared to the same period of 2019, and 6.5% on a non-GAAP basis. The firm is narrowing its full-year 2020 non-GAAP operating expense growth guidance from a range of 3%-6% to a range of 4%-6%. The firm's non-GAAP operating expense growth in Q4 2020 compared to Q4 2019 is expected to be lower than that experienced year-to-date. For 2021, the firm currently estimates that its non-GAAP operating expenses will grow in the range of 6%-9%. These ranges include investments in the firm's critical strategic initiatives to promote long-term growth of the business. The firm could elect to further adjust its expense growth should unforeseen circumstances arise, including significant market movements.
Non-operating income. Non-operating income was $191.6 million in Q3 2020, as compared to non-operating income of $43.0 million in Q3 2019. The firm's consolidated investment products and supplemental savings plan hedge portfolio comprised about 70% of the net gains recognized during Q3 2020. The cash and discretionary investment portfolio added net investment gains of $25.6 million during Q3 2020. The components of non-operating income for Q3 2020 and Q3 2019 are included in the tables at the end of this release.
Income taxes. The firm's effective tax rate was 24.1% in Q3 2020 and 22.4% in Q3 2019. The Q3 2020 effective tax rate increased from Q3 2019 primarily due to lower estimated annual net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests held in the firm's consolidated investment products, which are not taxable to the firm despite being included in pre-tax income; and lower discrete tax benefits associated with option exercises. These impacts were partially offset by a lower state effective tax rate, resulting primarily from the remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities related to the firm's investment portfolio.
The following reconciles the statutory federal income tax rate to the firm's effective tax rate for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2020 and 2019:

(1) State income tax benefits are reflected in the total benefits for net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests and stock-based compensation plans activity.
The firm's non-GAAP tax rate primarily adjusts for the impact of the consolidated investment products, including the net income attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interests. The firm's non-GAAP effective tax rate increased to 24.1% in Q3 2020 compared with 23.6% in Q3 2019 primarily due to lower discrete tax benefits associated with option exercises in the 2020 period. For the year-to-date period, the non-GAAP effective tax rate was 23.9% in 2020, down from the 24.8% for the comparable 2019 period. The year-to-date decrease is primarily due to a lower effective state tax rate and higher discrete tax benefits associated with option exercises.
6
The firm estimates that its effective tax rate for the full year 2020, on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, will be in the range of 23% to 25%.

(5) The Morningstar Rating™ for funds is calculated for funds with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Morningstar gives its best ratings of 5 or 4 stars to the top 32.5% of all funds (of the 32.5%, 10% get 5 stars and 22.5% get 4 stars). The Overall Morningstar Rating™ is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with a fund’s 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics.

Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliation
The firm believes the non-GAAP financial measures below provide relevant and meaningful information to investors about its core operating results. These measures have been established in order to increase transparency for the purpose of evaluating the firm's core business, for comparing current results with prior period results, and to enable more appropriate comparison with industry peers. However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be calculated differently by other companies.

(1) These non-GAAP adjustments remove the impact that the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products have on the firm's U.S. GAAP consolidated statements of income. Specifically, the firm adds back the operating expenses and subtracts the investment income of the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products. The adjustment to operating expenses represents the operating expenses of the consolidated products, net of the elimination of related management and administrative fees. The adjustment to net income attributable to T. Rowe Price Group represents the net income of the consolidated products, net of redeemable non-controlling interests. Management believes the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products may impact the reader’s ability to understand the firm's core operating results.
(2) This non-GAAP adjustment removes the compensation expense impact from market valuation changes in the supplemental savings plan liability and the related net gains (losses) on investments designated as an economic hedge against the related liability. Amounts deferred under the supplemental savings plan are adjusted for appreciation (depreciation) of hypothetical investments chosen by participants. The firm uses T. Rowe Price investment products to economically hedge the exposure to these market movements. Management believes it is useful to offset the non-operating investment income (loss) realized on the hedges against the related compensation expense and remove the net impact to help the reader's ability to understand the firm's core operating results and to increase comparability period to period.
(3) This non-GAAP adjustment represents the other non-operating income (loss) and the net gains (losses) earned on the firm's non-consolidated investment portfolio that are not designated as economic hedges of the supplemental savings plan liability, and that are not part of the cash and discretionary investment portfolio. Management retains the investment gains recognized on the non-consolidated cash and discretionary investments as these assets and related income (loss) are considered part of the firm's core operations. Management believes adjusting for these non-operating income (loss) items helps the reader’s ability to understand the firm's core operating results and increases comparability to prior years. Additionally, management does not emphasize the impact of the portion of non-operating income (loss) removed when managing and evaluating the firm's performance.
(4) The income tax impacts were calculated in order to achieve an overall year-to-date non-GAAP effective tax rate of 23.9% for 2020 and 24.8% for 2019. As such, the non-GAAP effective tax rate for three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 24.1% and 23.6%, respectively. The firm estimates that its effective tax rate for the full-year 2020 on a non-GAAP basis will be in the range of 23% to 25%.
(5) This non-GAAP measure was calculated by applying the two-class method to adjusted net income attributable to T. Rowe Price Group divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution. The calculation of adjusted net income allocated to common stockholders is as follows:
