Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. Reports 3Q24 Results

Chief Executive Officer Eric Colson said, "Artisan Partners brings together differentiated investment talent, broad opportunity sets, and long-term asset allocation demand. This combination has tremendous power to compound client wealth and business value—over time periods that we believe matter to our clients and shareholders. Those time periods vary but we believe are measured in market cycles and multi-year periods. Since our IPO in 2013, we have returned $36.47 per share in cumulative dividends (relative to our IPO price of $30.00 per share) and delivered an annual total shareholder return, with dividends reinvested, of 12.38% versus 12.05% for the S&P 500 and 7.80% for the Russell 2000.

"Our earliest strategies, launched between 1995 and 2002, are style, market cap, or geographically oriented. They have been and remain powerful compounders, representing nearly $79 billion of our AUM and delivering average annual absolute returns of 10.66% and average annual alpha of 289 basis points, since inception and after fees.

"In the early 2000s, recognizing that our teams’ investment research covered a broad universe of global equities, we expanded degrees of freedom to include global equities, providing our talent with more ways to differentiate and aligning us with institutional demand, especially outside of the United States. The investment and business outcome has validated our approach. Today, the strategies we launched between 2005 and 2011 represent nearly $59 billion of AUM and have delivered average annual absolute returns of 8.63% and average annual alpha of 142 basis points, since inception and after fees.

“Our latest phase of growth has focused on fixed income, alternatives, and private assets. The public equity opportunity set has been shrinking, especially in the developed world. The number of U.S. public companies peaked in 1996 at over 8,000 and has declined by over 40% since. The number of developed market public companies peaked in 2007 at over 26,000 and has declined 20% since. As the opportunity set shrinks, allocators are increasingly accessing public equity returns via low cost exposure and thematic ETFs. There are now more than twice as many ETFs as there are publicly traded U.S. stocks.

"In response, we have added degrees of freedom across our existing investment strategies and focused new launches on areas where we believe there is more dispersion and greater opportunity for talent to generate differentiated results.

"Credit markets remain ripe for alpha given the number of issuers and variety of instruments and opportunities to differentiate. Unlike many high-yield strategies, the Artisan High Income strategy invests significantly in floating rate leveraged loans—which has contributed to Artisan High Income Fund being ranked #4 of 302 funds in its Lipper category over the ten years since its inception. Similarly, the Artisan Credit team has invested in less liquid, distressed, and other special situations in the Artisan Credit Opportunities strategy to generate an average annual return of 10.29%, after fees, since inception in 2017.

"Another example of expanding the opportunity set is the Artisan EMsights Capital Group. Across the team’s three strategies, they are invested in 66 countries. They own local currency positions in 32 countries, including Peru, Serbia, and Indonesia. They use derivatives extensively to isolate the risks they want to take and to take those risks efficiently. Artisan Global Unconstrained Fund includes 155 unique issuers, including hard and local currency sovereign and corporate bonds, treasury bills, loans, equities, currency forwards, futures, credit default and interest rate swaps, and options.

"Lastly, we continue to believe that private securities offer an additional dimension for talent to add value for clients. We currently have private investments in multiple strategies and both our China Post-Venture and Dislocation Opportunities funds are designed specifically to take advantage of private market opportunities. We remain committed to adding more private capabilities across our platform.

"Building durable investment strategies takes time. We have launched eight new strategies over the last five years, five of which are credit-oriented or alternative. They are compounding capital and generating differentiated results. Demand for these strategies exists, and we continue to develop our ability to access that demand. We have executed on this latest phase of thoughtful growth while continuing to deliver long-term results for shareholders. Over the last five years, we have returned $16.94 per share in cumulative dividends and delivered an annual total shareholder return of 18.56% versus 14.11% for the S&P 500 and 7.91% for the Russell 2000. We remain true to Who We Are as a high value-added investment firm and we continue to execute on our business model and philosophy. Compelling long-term outcomes for clients, talent, and shareholders follow."

Revenues of $279.6 million in the September 2024 quarter increased $8.8 million, or 3%, from $270.8 million in the June 2024 quarter, primarily due to higher average AUM in the September 2024 quarter and one more calendar day in the September 2024 quarter.

Operating expenses of $186.4 million in the September 2024 quarter increased $2.2 million, or 1%, from $184.2 million in the June 2024 quarter, primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in long-term incentive compensation which was mainly driven by market valuation changes.

Adjusted net income was $202.1 million, or $2.50 per adjusted share, for the nine months ended September 2024, compared to adjusted net income of $170.3 million, or $2.11 per adjusted share, for the nine months ended September 2023.

Capital Management & Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents were $253.9 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $141.0 million at December 31, 2023. During the September 30, 2024 quarter, the Company paid a variable quarterly dividend of $0.71 per share of Class A common stock with respect to the June 2024 quarter. The Company had total borrowings of $200.0 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

During the September 2024 quarter, limited partners of Artisan Partners Holdings exchanged 176,213 common units for 176,213 Class A common shares. The exchanges increased the Company's public float of Class A common stock by 176,213 or 0.3%.

Total stockholders’ equity was $405.0 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $351.4 million at December 31, 2023. The Company had 70.1 million Class A common shares outstanding at September 30, 2024. The Company’s debt leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with its loan agreements, was 0.5x at September 30, 2024.

Dividend

The Company’s board of directors declared a variable quarterly dividend of $0.82 per share of Class A common stock with respect to the September 2024 quarter. The variable quarterly dividend represents approximately 80% of the cash generated in the September 2024 quarter and will be paid on November 29, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2024. Based on our projections and subject to change, we expect some portion of the 2024 dividend payments to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.

Subject to board approval each quarter, we currently expect to pay a quarterly dividend of approximately 80% of the cash the Company generates each quarter. We expect cash generation will generally equal adjusted net income plus long-term incentive compensation expense, less cash reserved for future franchise capital awards (which we expect will generally approximate 4% of investment management revenues each quarter), with additional adjustments made for certain other sources and uses of cash, including capital expenditures. After the end of the year, our board will consider payment of a special dividend.

Forward-Looking Statements and Other Disclosures

Certain statements in this release, and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future events and our future performance, as well as management’s current expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. These forward-looking statements are only predictions based on current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and there are important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance, actions or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance, actions or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include: the loss of key investment professionals or senior management, adverse market or economic conditions for whatever reason, poor performance of our investment strategies, change in the legislative and regulatory environment in which we operate, operational or technical errors or other matters that cause damage to our reputation, and other factors disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors listed under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024, as such factors may be updated from time to time. Our periodic and current reports are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this release.

Assets Under Management (AUM) refers to the assets of pooled vehicles and separate accounts to which Artisan Partners provides services. Artisan Partners’ AUM as reported here includes assets for certain strategies for which Artisan Partners provides non-discretionary model portfolios to managed account sponsors, for which we earn only investment-related service fees. Such non-discretionary assets are reported on a lag not exceeding one quarter and represented $98 million, $65 million and $55 million in aggregate as of September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Artisan's definition of AUM is not based on any definition of Assets Under Management contained in the ADV or in any of Artisan's fund management agreements.

Results for any investment strategy described herein, and for different investment products within a strategy, are affected by numerous factors, including different material market or economic conditions; different investment management fee rates, brokerage commissions and other expenses; and the reinvestment of dividends or other earnings. The returns for any strategy may be positive or negative, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

Unless otherwise noted, composite returns have been presented gross of investment advisory fees applied to client accounts, but include applicable trade commissions and transaction costs. Management fees, when reflected, would reduce the results presented for an investor in an account managed within a composite. Net-of-fees composite returns presented in these materials were calculated using the highest model investment advisory fees applicable to portfolios within the composite. Fees may be higher for certain pooled vehicles, and the composite may include accounts with performance-based fees. Index returns do not reflect the payment of fees and expenses. Certain Artisan composite returns may be represented by a single account.

In these materials, we present Value Added, which is the difference between an Artisan strategy's average annual return and the return of its respective benchmark. We may also present Excess Returns (alpha), which are an estimate of the amount in dollars by which Artisan's investment strategies have outperformed or underperformed their respective benchmark. Excess Returns are calculated by (i) multiplying a strategy's beginning-of-year AUM by the difference between the returns (in basis points) of the strategy (gross of fees, unless otherwise indicated) and the benchmark for the ensuing year and (ii) summing all strategies' Excess Returns for each year calculated. Market Returns include all changes in AUM not included in Excess Returns, client cash flows and Artisan Funds distributions not reinvested. The benchmark used for purposes of presenting a strategy’s performance and calculating Value Added and Excess Returns is generally the market index most commonly used by our clients to compare the performance of the relevant strategy. For certain strategies that are managed for absolute return, the benchmark used for purposes of presenting a strategy’s performance and calculating Value Added and Excess Returns is the index used by the Company’s management to evaluate the performance of the strategy.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company’s management uses non-GAAP measures (referred to as “adjusted” measures) of net income to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of the underlying operations of the business and as a factor when considering net income available for distributions and dividends. These adjusted measures remove the impact of (1) net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements (if any), (2) compensation expense (reversal) related to market valuation changes in compensation plans, and (3) net investment gain (loss) of investment products. These adjustments also remove the non-operational complexities of the Company’s structure by adding back noncontrolling interests and assuming all income of Artisan Partners Holdings is allocated to APAM. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to analyze the Company’s profitability and efficiency between periods and over time. The Company has included these non-GAAP measures to provide investors with the same financial metrics used by management to manage the Company.

Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. The Company’s non-GAAP measures are as follows:

•Adjusted net income represents net income excluding the impact of (1) net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements (if any), (2) compensation expense (reversal) related to market valuation changes in compensation plans, and (3) net investment gain (loss) of investment products. Adjusted net income also reflects income taxes assuming the vesting of all unvested Class A share-based awards and as if all outstanding limited partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings had been exchanged for Class A common stock of APAM on a one-for-one basis. Assuming full vesting and exchange, all income of Artisan Partners Holdings is treated as if it were allocated to APAM, and the adjusted provision for income taxes represents an estimate of income tax expense at an effective rate reflecting APAM's current federal, state and local income statutory tax rates. The adjusted tax rate was 24.7% for all periods presented.

•Adjusted net income per adjusted share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by adjusted shares. The number of adjusted shares is derived by assuming the vesting of all unvested Class A share-based awards and the exchange of all outstanding limited partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings for Class A common stock of APAM on a one-for-one basis.

•Adjusted operating income represents the operating income of the consolidated company excluding compensation expense related to market valuation changes in compensation plans.

•Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by total revenues.

•Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense.

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

Compensation expense (reversal) related to market valuation changes in compensation plans represents the expense (income) associated with the change in the long-term incentive award liability resulting from investment returns of the underlying investment products. Because the compensation expense impact of the investment market exposure is economically hedged, management believes it is useful to reflect the expected net income offset in the calculation of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted EBITDA. The related investment gain (loss) on the underlying investments is included in the adjustment for net investment gain (loss) of investment products.

Net investment gain (loss) of investment products represents the non-operating income (expense) related to the Company’s investments, in both consolidated sponsored investment products and nonconsolidated sponsored investment products, including investments in sponsored investment products held to economically hedge compensation plans. Excluding these non-operating market gains or losses on investments provides greater transparency to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of the underlying operations of the business. Interest income generated on cash and cash equivalents is considered part of normal operations, and therefore, is not excluded from adjusted net income.

______________________________________

1 We measure the results of our “composites”, which represent the aggregate performance of all discretionary client accounts, including pooled investment vehicles, invested in the same strategy except those accounts with respect to which we believe client-imposed restrictions may have a material impact on portfolio construction and those accounts managed in a currency other than U.S. dollars (the results of these accounts, which represented approximately 16% of our assets under management at September 30, 2024, are maintained in separate composites, which are not presented in these materials). Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

2 Value-added is the amount, in basis points, by which the average annual gross composite return of each of our strategies has outperformed or underperformed its

respective benchmark. See Forward-Looking Statements and Other Disclosures for further information on the benchmark indexes used. Value-added for periods less than

one year is not annualized.

3 AUM for Artisan Sustainable Emerging Markets and U.S. Mid-Cap Growth strategies includes $97.7 million in aggregate for which Artisan Partners provides investment models to managed account sponsors (reported on a lag not exceeding one quarter).
