Average AUM were $37.5 billion for the first quarter of 2016 versus $40.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2015 and $45.8 billion for the first quarter of 2015.
Our first quarter 2016 increase in AUM versus December 31, 2015 was due to market appreciation of $1.0 billion partially offset by net outflows of $0.8 billion and net distributions of $0.1 billion.
Revenues
- Total revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $81.4 million, compared with $99.8 million in the prior year, reflecting fees earned in investment advisory services on a lower level of assets and a decline in distribution and other income.
- Investment advisory fees were $70.8 million in the first quarter of 2016 versus $86.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. Revenues from our open-end and closed-end funds and Institutional and Private Wealth Management accounts tracked our decline of average AUM in the open-end and closed-end funds as well as lower billable assets in our Institutional and Private Wealth Management accounts.
- Distribution fees from our open-end equity funds and other income were $10.5 million for the first quarter 2016, down from $13.7 million in the prior year quarter.
Operating Income – First Quarter – Operating margin 56.5% vs. 42.8%
Operating income, which is net of management fee expense, increased 16.3% or $6.3 million, to $44.9 million in the first quarter of 2016 versus $38.6 million in the prior year period. The first quarter of 2016 was impacted by lower revenues of $18.4 million offset by reduced variable compensation expense of $10.4 million due to the accounting for the RSU agreement that the Company entered into with Mr. Gabelli in December 2015 while first quarter 2015 included a $1.0 million charge to launch a closed-end fund and $603,000 in incremental RSA expenses. After adjusting for removal of these non-recurring items in both the 2016 and 2015 periods, operating income was $34.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 or $5.7 million lower than the $40.2 million of the comparable prior year period. On the same basis, operating margin improved from 40.3% to 42.4%. See Notes to Non-GAAP measures on pages 7 for further information.
Operating income before management fee was $46.0 million in the first quarter 2016 versus $42.7 million in the first quarter 2015. Operating margin before management fee was 56.5% versus 42.8% in the first quarter of 2015. After adjusting for the removal of the non-recurring items in both the 2016 and 2015 periods, operating income before management fee was $35.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to $44.3 million in the first quarter of 2015 while operating margins before management fee declined from 44.4% to 43.8%. See Notes on Non-GAAP measures on page 7 for further information. Management believes evaluating operating income before management fee is an important measure in analyzing the Company’s operating results. Further information regarding Non-GAAP measures is included in Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Table III included elsewhere herein.
Other expense
We recognized $2.8 million in net other expenses in the 2016 quarter versus an expense of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2015. This is comprised of investment income of $0.6 million in the 2016 quarter versus $0.5 million in the 2015 quarter offset by interest expense of $3.4 million in the 2016 quarter versus $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2015, reflective of the AC 4% PIK Note being outstanding for the entire first quarter of 2016 partially offset by the reduction in the Senior Notes.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was 38.2% versus 37.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Deferred compensation
The first quarter 2016 results were materially bolstered by the GAAP-mandated treatment of the December 2015 deferred compensation agreement whereby certain variable compensation for 2016 will be paid in the form of Restricted Stock Units determined by the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class A Stock during 2016. Margins for the first quarter 2016 therefore are not comparable with prior periods. Under GAAP, only 25% of this deferred compensation expense is being recognized in the current year with the remainder amortized as expense in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Expressed another way, the 2016 first quarter as well as the remainder of 2016 benefit from a reduction of 75% of the compensation, and 2017, 2018, and 2019 will, in turn, be impacted by an additional 25% of the compensation from 2016 in each year. The Board’s decision to grant these RSUs in December 2015 and thereby defer the cash payment of certain 2016 variable compensation until January 1, 2020 was to provide the Company with greater financial flexibility. No decision has been made regarding whether the RSU will be repeated for 2017.
The balance sheet is also impacted; the compensation payable at March 31, 2016 and in each future period-end of 2016 is only 25% of the full amount of the 2016 compensation that will be due once the RSUs are fully vested. At March 31, 2016, the amount of unrecognized compensation was $12.6 million.
The following tables show a reconciliation of our results for the first quarter of 2016 and our balance sheet at March 31, 2016 between the GAAP basis and a non-GAAP adjusted basis of the deferred compensation (the RSU grant) in 2016. We believe this adjusted measure is useful in evaluating the ongoing operating results of the Company absent the material adjustment related to the treatment of the deferred compensation agreement.

The following table further illustrates the effect that the GAAP accounting for the compensation deferral will have on our results for 2016 through 2019 under certain assumptions. For simplicity in arriving at the 2016 through 2019 illustrative effects, we have assumed that the first quarter RSU expense is predictive of the full year results but there is no assurance that this will be the case. Please see the note regarding forward-looking information on page 12 of this release.

Business and Investment Highlights

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we returned $1.5 million of our earnings to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases. We repurchased 30,503 shares at an average price of $29.42 per share for a total investment of $0.9 million and distributed $0.6 million in dividends. Since our IPO, in February 1999, we have returned $1.9 billion in total to shareholders comprised of $1.0 billion of spin-offs, $487 million in the form of dividends and $429 million through stock buybacks of 9,583,156 shares.

NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
A. |
Operating income before management fee expense is used by management to evaluate its business operations. We believe this measure is useful in illustrating the operating results of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (the “Company”) as management fee expense is based on pre-tax income before management fee expense, which includes non-operating items including investment gains and losses from the Company’s proprietary investment portfolio and interest expense. The reconciliation of operating income before management fee expense to operating income is provided in Table III. | |
B. |
Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income before management fee expense are used by management to evaluate its ongoing business operations. We believe these measures are useful in evaluating the ongoing operating results of the Company absent any of these adjustments. |

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
The financial results set forth in this press release are preliminary. Our disclosure and analysis in this press release, which do not present historical information, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. They also appear in any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance of our products, expenses, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results. Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about our business and operations, the economy and other conditions, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe. Therefore, you should proceed with caution in relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, some of which are listed below, that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from any future results or outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations or beliefs include a decline in the securities markets that adversely affect our assets under management, negative performance of our products, the failure to perform as required under our investment management agreements, a general downturn in the economy that negatively impacts our operations. We also direct your attention to the more specific discussions of these and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors contained in our Form 10-K and other public filings. Other factors that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We do not undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements if we subsequently learn that we are unlikely to achieve our expectations whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
