OMAM Reports Financial and Operating Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2014

LONDON--()--OM Asset Management plc (NYSE: OMAM) today reports its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.

“OMAM produced excellent results in 2014, as our differentiated multi-boutique business model delivered the kind of diversified, broad-based franchise growth it is designed to generate,” stated Peter L. Bain, President and Chief Executive Officer of OMAM. “Pretax ENI grew to $204.1 million in 2014, an increase of 33% over the prior year, driven by growth in average assets under management of 18% and substantial performance fees. Our ENI operating margin before Affiliate key employee distributions increased to 39% in 2014 compared to 34% in 2013.”

Mr. Bain continued, “Net client cash flows were $3.8 billion for the fourth quarter and $9.5 billion for the full year, as the quality of our Affiliates and their long-term investment performance continued to attract new clients on a global basis. Our full year net client cash flow represents $54.5 million of annualized management fee revenue. During the quarter and throughout the year, we had particularly strong flows into global, international and emerging markets strategies, as well as real estate investment products. The diversification of our flows reflects the strength of our franchise, as six of our seven Affiliates, and 10 of our top 15 strategies by revenue, had positive flows for the year. Investment performance remains solid across our Affiliate group on both an absolute and relative basis, and outstanding results this year in several of our global, non-US and emerging markets equity and timber products generated performance fees of $34.3 million.”

“The successful execution of our business strategy continues to enhance and accelerate growth across our Affiliates. Our 2014 results reflect the growth of a number of products we have seeded through our collaborative initiatives, as well as new mandates won by our Global Distribution team. We had gross inflows of $3.4 billion into OMAM-seeded Affiliate products in 2014, and we are actively working with Affiliates to expand their capabilities in product areas such as multi-asset class, LDI and international equities. Our Global Distribution platform continues to build momentum, with $5.5 billion in assets funded to our Affiliates during 2014, and in 2015 our team will be marketing on behalf of each of our Affiliates in multiple foreign jurisdictions.” Mr. Bain concluded, “The completion of our IPO has enabled us to increase our focus on cultivating relationships with prospective new partners, and we continue to enhance relationships with leading asset managers who recognize our proven ability to serve as a supportive and effective partner.”

Assets Under Management and Flows

At December 31, 2014, OMAM’s total assets under management (“AUM”) were $220.8 billion, up $7.0 billion or 3.3% compared to $213.8 billion at September 30, 2014, and up $22.0 billion or 11.1% compared to $198.8 billion at December 31, 2013.

The increase in AUM during the three months ended December 31, 2014 reflects net market appreciation of $3.2 billion plus net inflows of $3.8 billion. The increase in assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 reflects net market appreciation of $12.9 billion combined with net inflows of $9.5 billion, offset by a $0.4 billion product line exit.

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, OMAM’s net flows were $3.8 billion compared to $3.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $3.3 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Hard asset disposals of $0.3 billion are reflected in the net flows for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $0.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $0.3 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2013. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the annualized revenue impact of the net flows increased to $20.0 million compared to $19.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $16.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, as gross inflows of $9.2 billion in the latest three months were in higher fee asset classes yielding an average of 44 bps.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, OMAM’s net flows were $9.5 billion compared to $10.5 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. Hard asset disposals of $1.7 billion are reflected in the net flows for 2014 compared to $1.0 billion in the net flows for 2013. However, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the annualized revenue impact of the net flows increased to $54.5 million compared to $42.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, as gross inflows of $32.0 billion in the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 yielded an average of 44 bps compared to 40 bps in the year-ago period.

Balance Sheet and Capital Management

Selected Balance Sheet information as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is provided in Table 3 below, both on a U.S. GAAP basis, which includes Consolidated Funds, and on a non-GAAP basis which excludes those elements of Consolidated Funds which are not economically attributable to OMAM shareholders. The December 31, 2014 Balance Sheet reflects a Reorganization of the Company, undertaken in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and described more fully in the Company’s Prospectus dated October 8, 2014, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 9, 2014.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had third party borrowings of $177.0 million and non-GAAP shareholders' equity of $36.5 million. The Company's ratio of third party borrowings to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA was 0.8x, well below the maximum 3.0x leverage covenant under OMAM’s revolving credit facility.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had access to approximately $146 million of seed capital, provided by the Parent, to invest in products managed by OMAM’s Affiliates. This seed capital is not reflected on the balance sheet of OMAM, as it is directly owned by a subsidiary of the Parent. In addition, at December 31, 2014, the Company had $35.0 million of co-investments in funds managed by its Affiliates on its balance sheet, with an off-setting liability to reflect the economic ownership of these investments by the Parent. The Prospectus describes in more detail the arrangements with the Parent with respect to seed capital and co-investments.

Financial Results: Non-GAAP Economic Net Income

For the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, basic and fully diluted economic net income per share was $0.39 and $1.26, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, economic net income was $47.0 million and $32.8 million, respectively, an increase of $14.2 million, or 43.3%. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, economic net income was $151.3 million and $122.9 million, respectively, an increase of $28.4 million, or 23.1%. See Table 4 for a summary of economic net income and Table 12 for a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income attributable to controlling interests to economic net income.

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013, ENI Revenue increased 26.3%, from $146.0 million to $184.4 million, driven by an 11.8% increase in management fees from $136.0 million to $152.0 million and a 297.3% increase in performance fees from $7.3 million to $29.0 million. Average assets under management excluding equity accounted Affiliates increased 14.0%, while the bps yield on these assets fell from 32.4 bps to 31.7 bps primarily due to market driven mix shifts within the global/non-U.S. asset category. Operating expenses before commissions increased 14.5% quarter-over-quarter (including commissions, total operating expenses grew 16.0% to $63.2 million). Operating expenses tend to increase in the fourth quarter due to seasonality, and 2014 also included approximately $2 million related to being a public company. While total variable compensation grew 7.7% quarter-over-quarter to $45.9 million, the ratio of variable compensation to earnings before variable compensation fell from 47% to 38%, an unusually low ratio driven by the high level of performance fees in 2014. The lower growth rate of expenses relative to revenue resulted in an increase in OMAM’s ENI operating margin before Affiliate key employee distributions from 33% to 41%. Affiliate key employee distributions increased 14.0% quarter-over-quarter to $11.4 million as a result of higher levels of Affiliate earnings, offset by OMAM’s purchase of additional equity at an Affiliate, completed in October 2014, which reduced the ratio of Affiliate key employee distributions to earnings before Affiliate key employee distributions to 15% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from 20% for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The ENI effective tax rate increased to 26% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from 16% for the three months ended December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of increased levels of income relative to intercompany interest expense.

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA was $65.6 million, an increase of 63.2% compared to $40.2 million for the same period of 2013. See Table 13 for a reconciliation of economic net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, ENI Revenue increased 20.5%, from $527.5 million to $635.4 million, driven by an 18.0% increase in management fees from $499.8 million to $589.9 million and an 89.5% increase in performance fees from $18.1 million to $34.3 million. Approximately one-third of performance fees were driven by exceptional performance in a high-water mark based alternative strategy, with the remainder diversified across a range of products and Affiliates. Average assets under management excluding equity accounted Affiliates increased 19.4%, while the bps yield on these assets fell from 32.6 bps to 32.2 bps primarily due to mix shifts within both the U.S. equity and global/non-U.S. asset categories. Operating expenses before commissions increased 12.8% year-over-year (including commissions, total operating expenses grew 14.6% to $220.9 million). Total variable compensation grew 10.4% year-over-year to $169.8 million, while the ratio of variable compensation to earnings before variable compensation fell from 46% to 41%. OMAM’s ENI operating margin before Affiliate key employee distributions increased from 34% to 39% as a result of higher management fees and performance fees driving margin increases at the Affiliates and scale benefits at the holding company. Affiliate key employee distributions increased 41.2% year-over-year to $40.1 million, primarily as a result of higher levels of Affiliate earnings. The ENI effective tax rate increased to 26% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 20% for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of increased levels of income relative to intercompany interest expense.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA was $210.7 million, an increase of 33.9% compared to $157.4 million for the same period of 2013. See Table 13 for a reconciliation of economic net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Definitions and Additional Notes

References to “OMAM” or the “Company” refer to OM Asset Management plc; references to the “Parent” or “Old Mutual” refer to Old Mutual plc; references to the “Offering” refer to the Company’s initial public offering dated October 8, 2014 and references to the “Prospectus” refer to the Company’s Prospectus dated as of that date; references to the “Reorganization” refer to the steps taken by OMAM’s Parent prior to the Offering to reorganize the ownership of the business, as described in the Company’s Prospectus.

Economic Net Income

The Company uses a non-GAAP performance measure referred to as economic net income (“ENI”) to represent its view of the underlying economic earnings of the business. ENI is used to make resource allocation decisions, determine appropriate levels of investment or dividend payout, manage balance sheet leverage, determine Affiliate variable compensation and equity distributions, and incentivize management. The Company’s ENI adjustments to U.S. GAAP include both reclassifications of U.S. GAAP revenue and expense items, as well as adjustments to U.S. GAAP results, primarily to exclude non-cash, non-economic expenses, or to reflect cash benefits not recognized under U.S. GAAP.

The Company re-categorizes certain line items on the income statement to:

  • exclude the effect of Fund consolidation by removing the portion of Fund revenues, expenses and investment return which is not attributable to its shareholders;
  • include within management fee revenue any fees paid to Affiliates by Consolidated Funds, which are viewed as investment income under U.S. GAAP;
  • include the Company’s share of earnings from equity-accounted Affiliates within other income, rather than investment income;
  • treat sales-based compensation as a general and administrative expense, rather than part of fixed compensation and benefits;
  • identify separately, the fixed and variable components of compensation and benefits expense; and
  • identify separately as Affiliate distributions the component of U.S. GAAP compensation that represents earnings shared with Affiliate key employee equity and profit-interest holders.

To reflect the Reorganization which took place at the time of the Offering, the Company has excluded:

i. notional corporate cost allocations which are non-cash expenses that will not recur following the Offering;

ii. interest expense historically paid to the Parent, as the related debt was restructured in connection with the Offering and the intercompany interest will be eliminated from consolidated results going forward; and

iii. historic mark-to-market co-investment gains and losses, because these investments and ongoing returns thereon have been allocated wholly to Old Mutual plc in connection with the Offering.

The Company also makes the following adjustments to U.S. GAAP results to more closely reflect its economic results by excluding:

iv. non-cash expenses representing changes in the value of Affiliate equity and profit interests held by Affiliate key employees. These ownerships interests may in certain circumstances be repurchased by OMAM at a value based on a pre-determined fixed multiple of trailing earnings and as such this value is carried on the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. Non-cash movements in the value of this liability are treated as compensation expense under U.S. GAAP. However, any equity or profit interests repurchased by OMAM can be used to fund a portion of future variable compensation awards, resulting in savings in cash variable compensation that offset the negative cash effect of repurchasing the equity.

v. non-cash amortization or impairment expenses related to acquired goodwill and other intangibles as these are non-cash charges that do not result in an outflow of tangible economic benefits from the business.

vi. the results of discontinued operations attributable to controlling interests since they are not part of the Company’s ongoing business, and restructuring costs incurred in continuing operations which represent an exit from a distinct product or line of business.

vii. deferred tax resulting from changes in tax law and expiration of statutes, adjustments for uncertain tax positions, deferred tax attributable to intangible assets and other unusual items not related to current operating results to reflect ENI tax normalization.

The Company adjusts its income tax expense to reflect any tax impact of its ENI adjustments. Please see Table 12 for a reconciliation of net income attributable to controlling interests to economic net income.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as economic net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company notes that its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by other companies. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful liquidity metric because it indicates the Company’s ability to make further investments in its business, service debt and meet working capital requirements. Please see Table 13 for a reconciliation of economic net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Methodologies for calculating investment performance:

Revenue-weighted investment performance measures the percentage of management fee revenue generated by Affiliate strategies which are beating benchmarks. It calculates each strategy’s percentage weight by taking its estimated composite revenue over total composite revenues in each period, then sums the total percentage of revenue for strategies outperforming.

Equal-weighted investment performance measures the percentage of Affiliates’ scale strategies (defined as strategies with greater than $100 million of AUM) beating benchmarks. Each outperforming strategy over $100 million has the same weight; the calculation sums the number of strategies outperforming relative to the total number of composites over $100 million.

Asset-weighted investment performance measures the percentage of AUM in strategies beating benchmarks. It calculates each strategy’s percentage weight by taking its composite AUM over total composite AUM in each period, then sums the total percentage of AUM for strategies outperforming.

ENI Operating Margin before Affiliate key employee distributions

ENI operating margin before Affiliate key employee distributions is a non-GAAP efficiency measure, calculated based on earnings after variable compensation divided by ENI revenue.

ENI Operating Margin after Affiliate key employee distributions

ENI operating margin after Affiliate key employee distributions is a non-GAAP efficiency measure, calculated based on earnings after Affiliate key employee distributions, divided by ENI revenue.

U.S. GAAP operating margin

U.S. GAAP operating margin equals operating income (loss) from continuing operations divided by total revenue.

Consolidated Funds

Financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP includes the results of consolidated pooled investment vehicles, or Funds, managed by our Affiliates, where it has been determined that these entities are controlled by the Company. Financial results which are “attributable to controlling interests” exclude the impact of Funds which are not attributable to our shareholders.

Annualized Revenue Impact of Net Flows (NCCF)

Annualized revenue impact of net flows represents the difference between annualized management fees expected to be earned on new accounts and net assets contributed to existing accounts, less the annualized management fees lost on terminated accounts or net assets withdrawn from existing accounts, including equity-accounted Affiliates. Annualized revenue is calculated by multiplying the annual gross fee rate for the relevant account by the net assets gained in the account in the event of a positive flow or the net assets lost in the account in the event of an outflow.

Hard asset disposals

Net flows in Table 2 and Table 7 include hard asset disposals made by OMAM’s Affiliates. This category is made up of investment-driven asset dispositions made by Heitman, a real estate manager, or Campbell, a timber manager.
