Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. Reports 2Q14 Results

MILWAUKEE--()--Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM) (the “Company” or “Artisan Partners”) today reported its results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, including net income and earnings per share for those periods.

“As an investment management firm our primary asset is our talent. We commit a lot of energy to the creation of an environment that allows our talent to succeed. The execution of creating the environment is the hard part, but the synergy realized from proper execution is the key driver of our long-term success," Eric Colson, President and CEO, said.

Business Update

Mr. Colson noted, “As of June 30, 2014, 7 of our 11 investment strategies (excluding strategies launched within the last five years) had added value relative to their broad performance benchmarks over the trailing 5-year period and since each strategy’s inception. All seven of our investment strategies with a 10-year track record have added value over the trailing 10-year period. In addition, more than three-quarters of our assets under management were in strategies outperforming the respective benchmarks over the trailing 3-year and 5-year periods, while 99% of assets under management outperformed over the trailing 10-year period and since each strategy’s inception. As the bull market has continued, the valuation discipline of our teams has influenced the relative results of our Value Equity, U.S. Mid-Cap Value, U.S. Small-Cap Value and Emerging Markets strategies, each of which has trailed its benchmark for the 5-year period.

“Our business development results in the second quarter were solid. Four of our five distribution channels and four of our six investment teams experienced positive client cash flows in the quarter. The institutional channel experienced a strong second quarter with positive flows coming from new clients outside of the U.S. We continue to expect global expansion to be a key aspect of our growth in coming years as we introduce our business model and investment capabilities to investors globally. Our Global Equity Team had another standout quarter, led by ongoing demand for its Non-U.S. Growth strategy. Our newly launched High Income strategy, led by our Credit Team, also brought in steady flows during the quarter.

“From a financial standpoint, the leverage in our financial model has continued to support an above average operating margin. Cash flow generation has led to a consistently healthy dividend. Asset growth has remained robust due to a combination of market appreciation and organic growth.

“This month we completed our second equity grant as a public company. This reinvestment in our talent is critical to interest alignment, which is among the business elements that are crucial to our long-term success. Stability of our business, autonomy of our investment teams and thoughtful growth are equally important. On their own, each element is achievable with marginal effort and has its own value. We believe that having those elements together at one place takes considerable effort, but increases the value of the whole, relative to the parts, measurably. This synergy is a key differentiator of our business."

Assets Under Management Increased to $112.0 billion

Our AUM increased to $112.0 billion at June 30, 2014, an increase of $4.6 billion, or 4.3%, compared to $107.4 billion at March 31, 2014 as a result of $3.9 billion in market appreciation and $558 million of net client cash inflows. Compared to June 30, 2013, AUM increased $26.2 billion, or 30.6%, due to $20.7 billion in market appreciation and $5.5 billion of net client cash inflows.

Average AUM for the June quarter of 2014 was $108.2 billion, an increase of 1.9% compared to average AUM for the March quarter of 2014 of $106.2 billion and a 26.8% increase from the average of $85.3 billion for the June quarter of 2013.

June Quarter of 2014 Compared to March Quarter of 2014

GAAP net income was $19.3 million, or $0.42 per basic and diluted share, in the June quarter of 2014 compared to net income of $8.6 million, or $2.29 loss per basic and diluted share, in the March quarter of 2014. Net income per basic and diluted share in the March quarter was negatively impacted by our purchase of shares of our convertible preferred stock and subsidiary preferred equity for an amount greater than the carrying value of the repurchased equity. Adjusted net income was $60.0 million, or $0.84 per adjusted share, in the June quarter of 2014 compared to adjusted net income of $56.0 million, or $0.78 per adjusted share, in the March quarter of 2014.

  • Revenues of $208.5 million in the June quarter of 2014 increased $6.7 million from $201.8 million in the March quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher average AUM as a result of market appreciation and net client cash inflows.
  • Operating expenses of $127.7 million in the June quarter of 2014 decreased $6.9 million from $134.6 million in the March quarter of 2014 driven primarily by a decrease in pre-offering related share based award compensation expense due to vesting of awards during the June quarter of 2014 and lower seasonal compensation and benefits expense, offset slightly by an increase in other operating expenses.
  • GAAP operating margin was 38.8% for the June quarter of 2014 compared to 33.3% for the March quarter of 2014.
  • Adjusted operating margin was 46.5% for the June quarter of 2014 compared to 45.1% for the March quarter of 2014 as a result of higher revenues and lower seasonal compensation and benefits expense.
  • As a result of finalization in valuation of both the deferred tax asset and liability related to the conversion of partnership units to APAM common stock, other non-operating income (loss) includes a $4.5 million expense and income tax expense includes an offsetting $4.5 million credit. The resulting impact to net income was negligible.

June Quarter of 2014 Compared to June Quarter of 2013

GAAP net income was $19.3 million, or $0.42 per basic and diluted share, in the June quarter of 2014 compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share, in the June quarter of 2013. Adjusted net income was $60.0 million, or $0.84 per adjusted share, in the June quarter of 2014 compared to adjusted net income of $44.5 million, or $0.64 per adjusted share, in the June quarter of 2013.

  • Revenues of $208.5 million in the June quarter of 2014 increased $46.5 million from $162.0 million in the June quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher average AUM as a result of net client cash inflows and net client cash inflows.
  • Operating expenses of $127.7 million in the June quarter of 2014 increased $14.0 million from $113.7 million in the June quarter of 2013 resulting primarily from higher compensation and benefits expense in the June quarter of 2014, which increased due to higher bonuses, most of which were directly linked to our revenue growth as well as expense related to restricted shares awarded to employees in the September quarter of 2013.
  • GAAP operating margin was 38.8% for the June quarter of 2014 compared to 29.8% in the June quarter of 2013.
  • Adjusted operating margin was 46.5% for the June quarter of 2014 compared to 44.6% for the June quarter of 2013. The increase in adjusted operating margin was the result of higher revenues and lower cash retention and severance expenses, partially offset by increased compensation and benefits expense related to additional headcount and equity based compensation expense resulting from restricted shares awarded to employees during the September quarter of 2013.
  • As a result of finalization in valuation of both the deferred tax asset and liability related to the conversion of partnership units to APAM common stock, other non-operating income (loss) includes a $4.5 million expense and income tax expense includes an offsetting $4.5 million credit. The resulting impact to net income was negligible.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

GAAP net income was $27.9 million, or $1.64 loss per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $8.7 million, or $0.57 per basic and diluted share for the period from March 12, 2013 to June 30, 2013. Net income per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was negatively impacted by our purchase of shares of our convertible preferred stock and subsidiary preferred equity for an amount greater than the carrying value of the repurchased equity. Adjusted net income was $116.0 million, or $1.62 per adjusted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to adjusted net income of $77.7 million or $1.11 per adjusted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

  • Revenues of $410.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $100.1 million from $310.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily due to higher average AUM as a result of market appreciation and net client cash inflows.
  • Operating expenses of $262.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased $420.9 million from $683.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 driven primarily by a decrease in share-based and other pre-offering related compensation expenses that were incurred mainly as a result of our initial public offering in the March quarter of 2013. Excluding pre-offering related compensation expense, operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $39.4 million or 21.5% compared to operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to increased compensation and benefits expense most of which were directly linked to our revenue growth, compensation and benefits expense related to additional headcount, and equity based compensation expense resulting from restricted shares awarded to employees during the September quarter of 2013 partially offset by a decrease in cash retention and severance expenses incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2013.
  • GAAP operating margin was 36.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to negative 120.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in share-based and other pre-offering related compensation expenses that were incurred mainly as a result of our initial public offering in the March quarter of 2013, partially offset by an increase in equity based compensation expense resulting from restricted shares awarded to employees during the September quarter of 2013.
  • Adjusted operating margin was 45.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 41.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in adjusted operating margin was the result of higher revenues and a decrease in cash retention and severance expenses partially offset by an increase in non-offering related compensation and benefits expenses.
  • As a result of finalization in valuation of both the deferred tax asset and liability related to the conversion of partnership units to APAM common stock, other non-operating income (loss) includes a $4.5 million expense and income tax expense includes an offsetting $4.5 million credit. The resulting impact to net income was negligible.

The Company’s management uses non-GAAP measures (referred to as “adjusted” measures) of net income and operating 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) pre-offering related compensation and loss on the tax receivable agreements (as described below), (2) offering related proxy expense (as described below), (3) the net gain (loss) on the valuation of contingent value rights and (4) adjustments to 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 the Company. 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) pre-offering related compensation and loss on the tax receivable agreements, as defined below, (2) offering related proxy expense, as defined below, (3) net gain (loss) on the valuation of contingent value rights, and reflects income taxes as if all outstanding limited partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings and all shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock were exchanged for or converted into Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. Assuming the full exchange and conversion, all income of Artisan Partners Holdings is treated as if it were allocated to the Company, 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 estimated effective tax rate was 36.2% and 35.8% for the 2014 and 2013 periods presented, respectively.
  • Adjusted net income per adjusted share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income (loss) by adjusted shares. The number of adjusted shares is derived by assuming the vesting of all unvested shares of Class A common stock, the exchange of all outstanding limited partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings and the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock for or into Class A common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis.
  • Adjusted operating income represents the operating income (loss) of the consolidated company excluding offering related proxy expense and pre-offering related compensation and loss on the tax receivable agreements.
  • Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income (loss) by total revenues.
  • Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, offering related proxy expense, pre-offering related compensation and loss on the tax receivable agreements, as defined below and the net gain (loss) on the valuation of contingent value rights.
  • For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, pre-offering related compensation and loss on tax receivable agreements includes (1) the amortization of unvested Class B common units of Artisan Partners Holdings that were granted before the Company's initial public offering, which closed on March 12, 2013 and (2) expense associated with the valuation of amounts payable under the tax receivable agreements entered into in connection with the Company's initial public offering and related reorganization. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, pre-offering related compensation includes the amortization of unvested Class B common units of Artisan Partners Holdings that were granted prior to the IPO. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, pre-offering related compensation includes (1) expense resulting from cash incentive compensation payments triggered by the IPO and expense associated with the reallocation of post-IPO profits from certain pre-IPO partners to employee-partners, (2) one-time expense, resulting from the modification of the Class B common unit awards at the time of the IPO, based on the difference between the carrying value of the liability associated with the vested Class B common units immediately prior to the IPO and the value based on the offering price per share of Class A common stock in the IPO, (3) the amortization of unvested Class B common units of Artisan Partners Holdings that were granted prior to the IPO, (4) distributions to the Class B partners of Artisan Partners Holdings, (5) redemptions of Class B common units and (6) changes in the value of Class B liability awards during the period.
  • Offering related proxy expense represents costs incurred as a result of the change of control (for purposes of the Investment Company Act and Investment Advisers Act) which occurred on March 12, 2014. We incurred costs through the first quarter of 2014 to solicit the necessary approvals and consents from the boards and shareholders of the mutual funds that we advise or sub-advise and from our separate accounts clients, which were necessary because of the change of control.

______________________________________

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 socially based 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 8% of our assets under management at June 30, 2014, are maintained in separate composites, which are not presented in these materials).

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 for the periods presented and since its inception date. Value-added for periods less than one year is not annualized. The market indices used to compute the value added since inception date for each of our strategies are as follows: Non-U.S. Growth strategy—MSCI EAFE® Index; Non-U.S. Small-Cap Growth strategy—MSCI EAFE® Small Cap Index; Global Equity strategy—MSCI ACWI® Index; Global Small-Cap Growth strategy—MSCI ACWI® Small Cap Index; U.S. Small-Cap Value strategy—Russell 2000® Index; U.S. Mid-Cap Value strategy—Russell Midcap® Index; Value Equity strategy—Russell 1000® Index; U.S. Mid-Cap Growth strategy—Russell Midcap® Index; Global Opportunities strategy—MSCI ACWI® Index; U.S. Small-Cap Growth strategy—Russell 2000® Index; Non-U.S. Value strategy—MSCI EAFE® Index; Global Value strategy—MSCI ACWI® Index; Emerging Markets strategy—MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM; High Income Strategy—Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index.

3 High Income Strategy’s composite inception date is April 1, 2014 for the purposes of calculating strategy performance. The strategy began investment operations on March 19, 2014.

4 Includes an additional $42.5 million in assets managed in a portfolio not currently made available to investors other than our employees to evaluate its potential viability as a strategy to be offered to clients.
