Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. Reports 3Q19 Results
Milwaukee, WI - October 29, 2019 - Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM) (the “Company” or “Artisan Partners”) today reported its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and declared a quarterly dividend.
Chairman and CEO Eric Colson said, “Our business is a growth business. Growth is important to our talent, our clients, and our owners. Growth is not a strategy. It’s an outcome. Our growth results from providing an ideal home for exceptional investment talent, compounding wealth for clients over the long-term, operating with integrity, and maintaining business and financial discipline through market cycles and industry trends. We refer to that as thoughtful growth: Growth that is consistent with Who We Are as an investment firm, sustainable, and beneficial to everyone. That kind of growth takes time, is lumpy, and cannot be engineered over short-term periods.”
“For example, the growth we are now seeing in our third generation strategies is the result of a series of investments we began making in 2013. Over the ensuing six years, we successfully recruited and onboarded three new investment franchises, launched six new strategies, and evolved our Non-U.S. Small-Mid Growth strategy.
“Today, we manage over $10 billion in the seven third generation strategies. Year-to-date, these strategies have $3.3 billion of combined net inflows, representing an annualized organic growth rate of 72%. Most of the early demand for these strategies is from the wealth channel, where we expect to see long-term secular growth. Most importantly, the strategies have performed for clients. The four publicly-available strategies with track records of greater than one year have outperformed their indexes by an average of 156, 523, 838, and 1,447 basis points annually since inception, after fees.
“The third generation strategies are continuing in the tradition of our first and second generation strategies. Of our 15 publicly-available strategies, 13 have outperformed their broad-based benchmarks since inception, after fees. Eleven of the strategies have generated more than 200 basis points of average annual outperformance since inception, after fees.
“That investment performance has driven our long-term growth as a firm. Over the last ten years, our AUM has grown from $44.4 billion to $112.5 billion. Year-to-date, our strategies have generated nearly $19 billion in total investment returns and over $4.5 billion of returns in excess of benchmark returns. Our business grows as our clients’ capital grows.
“Recent firm-wide net flows have been driven by net outflows from our Non-U.S. Growth strategy. Approaching its 25th anniversary, the strategy has outperformed its index by an average of 450 basis points annually since inception, after fees. $1 million invested at inception of the strategy would have grown to $7.9 million as of September 30, 2019, after fees. The same $1 million invested in the benchmark index would have grown to $2.9 million. We remain confident in the long-term demand for alpha generation.
“We continue to execute our repeatable process for developing investment franchises. We are better equipped than ever to resource and guide existing teams, identify and add new talent, and broaden our investment capabilities and degrees of freedom. We have exceptionally talented people with long-term views, outstanding investment performance, and a diverse set of high-value added strategies for a range of asset allocation styles. We believe that’s a rare combination, an extremely valuable asset, and a powerful platform for future thoughtful growth.”

September 2019 Quarter Compared to June 2019 Quarter
AUM declined to $112.5 billion at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $1.3 billion, or 1%, compared to $113.8 billion at June 30, 2019, as a result of $0.7 billion of net client cash outflows and $0.6 billion in market depreciation. For the quarter, average AUM increased 3% to $113.0 billion due to 6% higher beginning AUM in the September 2019 quarter compared to the June 2019 quarter.
Revenues of $202.9 million in the September 2019 quarter increased 1%, or $2.2 million, from $200.7 million in the June 2019 quarter, primarily due to higher average AUM and one additional calendar day, partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in performance fees.
Operating expenses of $127.4 million in the September 2019 quarter decreased $2.4 million, or 1.8%, from $129.8 million in the June 2019 quarter primarily as a result of a $2.0 million decrease in equity-based compensation expense as the Company's 2014 equity grant fully amortized during the September 2019 quarter.
Operating margin increased to 37.2% in the September 2019 quarter from 35.3% in the June 2019 quarter.
GAAP net income was $41.3 million, $0.71 per basic and diluted share in the September 2019 quarter, compared to net income of $39.2 million, $0.66 per basic and diluted share in the June 2019 quarter. Adjusted net income was $54.8 million, $0.70 per adjusted share in the September 2019 quarter, an increase of 5% compared to adjusted net income of $52.4 million, $0.67 per adjusted share in the June 2019 quarter.
Provision for income taxes was a net benefit of $7.3 million in the September 2019 quarter compared to a net expense of $11.5 million in the June 2019 quarter. The decrease in provision for income taxes during the quarter was due to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets resulting from an increase in the Company’s estimate of state income tax expense. The increase in deferred tax assets also resulted in an increase in amounts payable under the tax receivable agreements. The remeasurement of the assets and liabilities reduced the quarter’s provision for income taxes by $23.0 million and increased non-operating expense by $19.6 million. The adjusted effective tax rate for the current year increased from 23.5% to 24.1%. The year-to-date impact of the change in the 2019 adjusted effective tax rate is fully reflected in adjusted net income for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which results in an adjusted effective tax rate of 25.1% for the quarter.

September 2019 Quarter Compared to September 2018 Quarter
AUM at September 30, 2019, was $112.5 billion, down from $116.6 billion at September 30, 2018. The change in AUM over the one-year period was due to $7.3 billion of net client cash outflows partially offset by $3.2 billion of market appreciation. Average AUM for the September 2019 quarter was $113.0 billion, 3% lower than average AUM for the September 2018 quarter.
Revenues of $202.9 million in the September 2019 quarter were $9.9 million, or 5%, less than $212.8 million in the September 2018 quarter primarily due to lower average AUM.
Operating expenses of $127.4 million in the September 2019 quarter decreased $3.6 million, or 3%, from $131.0 million in the September 2018 quarter primarily as a result of lower incentive and equity-based compensation expense, offset in part by higher salary and benefits expenses on an increased number of full-time employees.
Operating margin was 37.2% for the September 2019 quarter compared to 38.5% for the September 2018 quarter.
GAAP net income was $41.3 million, $0.71 per basic and diluted share in the September 2019 quarter, compared to net income of $42.5 million, $0.77 per basic and diluted share in the September 2018 quarter. Adjusted net income was $54.8 million, $0.70 per adjusted share in the September 2019 quarter, a decrease of 10% compared to adjusted net income of $60.8 million, $0.79 per adjusted share in the September 2018 quarter.

Nine Months Ended September 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 2018
AUM increased to $112.5 billion at September 30, 2019, up 17% compared to $96.2 billion at December 31, 2018, as a result of $18.6 billion in market appreciation partially offset by $2.3 billion of net client cash outflows. Average AUM for the September 2019 nine-month period was $109.4 billion, 6% lower than average AUM of $116.8 billion for the September 2018 nine-month period due to significantly lower AUM at the beginning of 2019 compared to 2018.
Revenues of $590.6 million for the nine months ended September 2019 decreased $46.5 million, or 7%, from $637.1 million for the nine months ended September 2018 primarily due to lower average AUM.
Operating expenses of $386.5 million for the nine months ended September 2019 decreased $9.9 million, or 2%, from $396.4 million for the nine months ended September 2018 primarily as a result of lower incentive and equity-based compensation expense. These decreases were partially offset by increases in occupancy expense related to investment team relocations and higher salary and benefits costs on an increased number of full-time employees.
Operating margin was 34.6% for the nine months ended September 2019 compared to 37.8% for the nine months ended September 2018.
GAAP net income was $112.0 million, $1.87 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 2019, compared to net income of $125.8 million, $2.27 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 2018. Adjusted net income was $149.5 million, $1.92 per adjusted share for the nine months ended September 2019, a decrease of 16% compared to adjusted net income of $178.7 million, $2.32 per adjusted share for the nine months ended September 2018. The adjusted effective tax rate for the current year increased to 24.1% from 23.5% in the prior year period. The Company expects the full year 2019 adjusted effective income tax rate to be 24.1% and the rate for 2020 to be in the 24.5% - 25.0% range as a result of anticipated higher state income tax expense.

Capital Management & Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents were $169.6 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $160.5 million at December 31, 2018. As a result of an increase in the Company’s deferred income tax rate, the Company revalued its deferred tax assets and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreements. The revaluation increased assets by $23.0 million and liabilities by $19.6 million.
The Company paid a variable quarterly dividend of $0.60 per share of Class A common stock during the September 2019 quarter. The Company had total borrowings of $200.0 million at September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018. On August 16, 2019, Artisan Partners Holdings refinanced $50 million of senior notes for an additional eight year period.
During the September 2019 quarter, limited partners of Artisan Partners Holdings exchanged 127,915 common units for 127,915 Class A common shares. The exchanges increased the Company’s public float of Class A common stock by 127,915 shares, or 0.2%.
Total stockholders’ equity was $122.7 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $140.5 million at December 31, 2018. The Company had 56.3 million Class A common shares outstanding at September 30, 2019. The Company’s debt leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with its loan agreements, was 0.6X at September 30, 2019.

Dividend
The Company’s board of directors declared a variable quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share of Class A common stock with respect to the September 2019 quarter. The dividend will be paid on November 29, 2019, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2019. Based on our projections and subject to change, we expect some portion of the 2019 dividend payments to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.
The variable quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share represents approximately 80% of the cash generated in the September 2019 quarter. 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. 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, poor performance of our investment strategies, change in the legislative and regulatory environment in which we operate, operational or technical errors or other 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, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2019. 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.
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. Composite data shown for the Artisan High Income strategy is represented by a single account.
"Over $4.5 billion of returns in excess of benchmark returns" is an estimate of the amount in dollars by which Artisan's investment strategies have outperformed or underperformed their broad-based benchmarks. Excess returns are calculated by (i) multiplying a strategy's beginning-of-month AUM by the difference between the returns (in basis points) of the strategy (gross of fees) and the broad-based benchmark for the ensuing month and (ii) summing the monthly excess returns.
None of the information in these materials constitutes either an offer or a solicitation to buy or sell any fund securities, nor is any such information a recommendation for any fund security or investment service.
Any discrepancies included in this release between totals and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding.

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) net investment gain (loss) of investment products, and (3) the remeasurement of deferred taxes. These adjustments also remove the non-operational complexities of the Company’s structure by adding back non-controlling interests and assuming all income of Artisan Partners Holdings is allocated to APAM. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide more 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) net investment gain (loss) of investment products, and (3) the remeasurement of deferred taxes. 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 assumed federal, state, and local income taxes. The adjusted effective tax rate was 24.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 23.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The year-to-date impact of the change in the 2019 adjusted effective tax rate during the September 2019 quarter from 23.5% to 24.1% is reflected in adjusted net income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 (which results in an adjusted effective tax rate of 25.1% for the quarter). The Company currently expects the 2020 adjusted effective tax rate to be in the range of 24.5% to 25.0%.
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 EBITDA represents adjusted net income before interest expense, income taxes, and 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.
Net investment gain (loss) of investment products represents the non-operating income (expense) related to the Company’s seed investments, in both consolidated investment products and unconsolidated investment products. Excluding these non-operating market gains or losses on seed investments provides greater transparency to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of the underlying operations of the business.

1 We measure the results of our “composites”, which represent the aggregate performance of all discretionary client accounts, including mutual funds, 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 11% of our assets under management at September 30, 2019, 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 the broad-based market index most commonly used by our clients to compare the performance of the relevant strategy. Value-added for periods less than one year is not annualized. The Artisan High Income Strategy may hold loans and other security types that may not be included in the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Total Return Index. At times, this causes material differences in relative performance.
