First Quarter of 2013 Comparison with First Quarter of 2012

Assets Under Management and Net Client Cash Flows

Assets under management were $11.5 billion as of March 31, 2013, down $15.1 billion, or 57%, from $26.6 billion as of March 31, 2012, due primarily to net client cash outflows.

Net client cash outflows for the first quarter of 2013 were $3.1 billion, driven by net client cash outflows in our International Equity I and II strategies.4

Revenues and Other Operating Income

Revenues and other operating income for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $15.6 million, down 64% from $43.9 million for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was driven primarily by lower investment management fees of $15.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, down 64% from $42.8 million for the first quarter of 2012, due primarily to lower average assets under management and a decrease in the effective fee rate.

Expenses

Employee Compensation and Benefits

For the first quarter of 2013, adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses were $14.6 million, down 27% from $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in incentive compensation accruals and a decrease in costs associated with lower headcount.

GAAP employee compensation and benefits expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $14.6 million, a decrease of 35% from $22.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, due primarily to the reasons noted above and the elimination of the amortization expense related to RSUs awarded at the time of the Company's Initial Public Offering.

Shareholder Servicing and Marketing Expenses

Shareholder servicing and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $1.9 million, down 46% from $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, driven primarily by lower platform costs, reflecting a decrease in average assets under management in proprietary funds and a decline in marketing costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

Adjusted general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $7.3 million, a decrease of 24% from $9.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, due primarily to a decrease in expenses associated with lower headcount, and other cost saving initiatives.

GAAP general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $10.7 million, an increase of 10% from $9.7 million for the first quarter of 2012, due primarily to legal fees related to the acquisition, partly offset by the reasons noted above.

Non-operating Income

Adjusted non-operating income for the first quarter of 2013 was $1.1 million, a decrease of 42% from $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting a decrease in gains from seed capital investments during the first quarter of 2013.

GAAP non-operating income for the first quarter of 2013 was $1.7 million, a decrease of 34% from $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, due primarily to the reason noted above.

Income Taxes

For the first quarter of 2013, adjusted income tax benefit was $1.9 million, as compared to adjusted income tax expense of $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2012, due primarily to a decrease in taxable income.

GAAP income tax expense was $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2012. The first quarter of 2013 included a valuation allowance taken on the Company's deferred tax assets recorded in the first quarter of 2013, and the non-deductibility of project costs related to the acquisition.

First Quarter of 2013 Comparison with Fourth Quarter of 2012

Assets Under Management

Assets under management were $11.5 billion as of March 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.8 billion, or 20%, from $14.3 billion as of December 31, 2012, due to net client cash outflows, partly offset by market appreciation.

Revenues and Other Operating Income

Revenues and other operating income for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $15.6 million, down 25% from $20.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, driven primarily by lower investment management fees. Investment management fees were $15.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, down 25% from $20.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, due primarily to a decrease in average assets under management and a decline in the effective fee rate.

Expenses

Employee Compensation and Benefits

For the first quarter of 2013, adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses were $14.6 million, an increase of 39% from $10.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, due primarily to an increase in accruals related to the Company's long-term incentive plan.

GAAP employee compensation and benefits expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $14.6 million, a decrease of 4% from $15.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, due primarily to the compensation charge associated with organizational changes in the fourth quarter of 2012, partly offset by the reason noted above.

Shareholder Servicing and Marketing Expenses

Shareholder servicing and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $1.9 million, a decrease of 9% from $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, due primarily to lower platform costs, reflecting a decrease in average assets under management in proprietary funds.

General and Administrative Expenses

Adjusted general and administrative expenses were $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of 3% from $7.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, due primarily to lower expenses across most categories.

GAAP general and administrative expenses were $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of 40% from $7.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, due primarily to legal fees related to the acquisition, partly offset by the reason noted above.

Non-operating Income

Adjusted non-operating income for the first quarter of 2013 was $1.1 million, a decrease of 33% from $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting a decrease in gains from seed capital investments.

GAAP non-operating income for the first quarter of 2013 was $1.7 million, a decrease of 37% from $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, due primarily to the reason noted above.

Income Taxes

For the first quarter of 2013, adjusted income tax benefit was $1.9 million, compared to adjusted income tax expense of $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, due primarily to a decrease in taxable income.

GAAP income tax expense for the first quarter of 2013 was $0.3 million, compared to GAAP income tax benefit of $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The change was due primarily to a valuation allowance taken on the Company's deferred tax assets recorded in the first quarter of 2013, a write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the vesting of equity awards at a price below their grant date fair value in the first quarter of 2013 and the non-deductibility of project costs related to the acquisition, partly offset by the reason noted above.

Liquidity and Capital

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had cash (excluding amounts held in the Company's Consolidated Investment Products) of $66.6 million, seed capital investments5 in our strategies of $45.8 million and investments held for deferred compensation of $10.2 million.

Total stockholders' equity on the Statement of Financial Position was $133.4 million as of March 31, 2013, compared to $141.0 million as of December 31, 2012.

Share Repurchase

Notes to Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Adjusted Consolidated Statements of Operations
 
 

Management believes the Non-GAAP adjustments set forth below provide more meaningful comparisons between periods. Additional information on the reorganization of the Company's ownership structure and the related non-recurring items are discussed in the Company's prospectus dated September 23, 2009.

 
 

(a)

Adjustments to exclude the amortization expense associated with the RSUs awarded at the time of the IPO, as the granting of the awards was one-time in nature.

 

 
(b) Adjustments to exclude certain compensation costs associated with organizational changes.
 
 
(c)

The adjustment to income taxes for the three months ended Mar 31, 2012 reflect the tax effect of the assumed full exchange of the Principals' non-controlling interests for Class A common stock on the first day of the respective period, since prior to such exchange, income tax expense excludes the U.S. federal and state taxes for the income attributable to the Principals.

 

 

Adjustments to reflect the tax effects of excluding the amortization expense associated with the RSUs awarded at the time of the IPO and the tax effects of excluding costs associated with organizational changes.

 

 

Adjustments also exclude a valuation allowance on the Company's deferred tax assets, the tax effect of excluding the offshore fund expense and costs associated with the wind-down of the Company's US Equity strategies and reductions in infrastructure requirements.

 

 
(d) Adjustment to eliminate the Principals' non-controlling interests which are assumed to be exchanged for Class A common stock on the first day of the
respective period.
 
 

(e)

Adjusted diluted shares outstanding, for the three months ended Mar. 31, 2012, assumes the Principals have fully exchanged their New Class A Units in Artio Global Holdings LLC for an equivalent amount of shares of the Company's Class A common stock.

 

 

(f)

Adjusted diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2012, include the dilutive impact of the unvested RSUs which are anti-dilutive under GAAP.

 

 

(g)

Adjustments to eliminate third-party investors' economic interests in the Consolidated Investment Products from both Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Investment Products and Non-operating income (loss). Management believes these adjustments provide a more useful measure for comparing Non-operating income between periods.

(i)

Adjustment to eliminate costs associated with the wind-down of the Company's US Equity strategies and reductions in infrastructure requirements.

Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds and fund fees and expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads. If an expense waiver was in effect, it may have had a material effect on the total return or yield for the period.

 
For each mutual fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a mutual fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. A fund's independent Morningstar Rating metric is then compared against the mutual fund universe breakpoints to determine its hypothetical rating. The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.
