Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. Reports 4Q19 and Year Ended December 31, 2019 Results and Quarterly and Special Annual Dividend

Milwaukee, WI - February 4, 2020 - Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM) today reported its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019, and declared a quarterly and special annual dividend.

CEO and Chairman Eric Colson said, "The end of a decade is a good opportunity to step away from the short term and assess broader, more meaningful time periods. Over the last ten years, asset allocation decisions have evolved, driving demand, simultaneously, for low-cost indexing on one end of the spectrum and private asset classes on the other. While the bifurcating demand created some headwinds for our firm, it also created significant opportunity for our high value-added approach. We capitalized by adding investment degrees of freedom across our firm and growing and diversifying our autonomous sources of alpha. Our approach resulted in significant wealth creation for our clients and the expansion of our business globally and deeper into wealth markets.

"During the decade, our investment strategies generated approximately $81.9 billion of investment returns for our clients, including approximately $13.3 billion of returns in excess of benchmark indices. As a result, our AUM grew from $46.8 billion to $121.0 billion, and our revenues grew by more than 150% to $799 million last year.

"Since 2010, our First Generation strategies (with inception dates from 1995 to 2002) generated approximately $56.0 billion of investment returns for clients, including $8.8 billion of returns in excess of benchmarks. Our Second Generation strategies (launched between 2005 and 2013) grew from $1.9 billion in AUM to $44.0 billion, including over $19.0 billion in net inflows. And, since 2014, we have launched and grown our Third Generation strategies to more than $12.0 billion in AUM at an average effective fee rate of 84 basis points.

"Today, we have nine investment franchises with outstanding leadership, strong track records and capacity for growth. Recent investment performance has been strong, with 12 of 17 strategies outperforming their most relevant index last year, after fees, and ten of 15 strategies with a mutual fund finishing the year in the top quartile of their Morningstar peer group. Our Non-U.S. Small Mid Growth strategy just passed its first anniversary with outstanding performance. Our Developing World and Thematic strategies will pass their fifth and third anniversaries, respectively, in the middle of this year. And the efforts of our Sustainable Emerging Markets team are starting to bear fruit with two recent institutional fundings.

"Looking further ahead, we continue to expect significant change across the investment management industry. With all of the change, it is more important than ever that we know Who We Are and understand our edge. We are an investment management firm providing differentiated and high value- added investment opportunities to sophisticated clients. We are not, nor do we aspire to be, a scale player offering investment exposure and manufacturing products for asset gathering.

"We will continue to grow our business through value-added investment performance, compounding wealth for clients and extending the duration of relationships. We will seek the right clients on the right terms to generate net new flows where needed. Our fee rates will align with our performance and capacity to maintain our earnings power. By building our business on investment results and long duration relationships, we will increase the sustainability and value of our business. We look forward to generating results for all of our stakeholders in the decade ahead."

December 2019 Quarter Compared to September 2019 Quarter

AUM increased to $121.0 billion at December 31, 2019, an increase of 8%, compared to $112.5 billion at September 30, 2019, as a result of $9.5 billion of market appreciation partially offset by $0.9 billion of net client cash outflows. For the quarter, average AUM increased 2.5% to $115.8 billion.

Revenues of $208.4 million in the December 2019 quarter increased $5.5 million, or 3%, from $202.9 million in the September 2019 quarter, primarily due to higher average AUM.

Operating expenses of $129.0 million in the December 2019 quarter increased $1.6 million, or 1%, from $127.4 million in the September 2019 quarter, primarily as a result of higher incentive compensation expense due to increased revenues and increased travel costs, partially offset by lower equity-based compensation expense.

Operating margin increased to 38.1% in the December 2019 quarter from 37.2% in the September 2019 quarter.

Investment gains on seed investments contributed $4.1 million of investment income in the December 2019 quarter, compared to $0.9 million of investment income in the September 2019 quarter. These investment gains are net of income attributable to third party shareholders in consolidated investment products.

Provision for income taxes was higher in the December 2019 quarter because the September 2019 quarter included tax benefits related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets. The adjusted tax rate was 24.1% for the year ended December 31, 2019, and is expected to be in the range of 24.5% to 25.0% in 2020.

GAAP net income was $44.5 million, or $0.76 per basic and diluted share, in the December 2019 quarter, compared to net income of $41.3 million, or $0.71 per basic and diluted share, in the September 2019 quarter. Adjusted net income was $58.5 million, or $0.75 per adjusted share, in the December 2019 quarter, compared to adjusted net income of $54.8 million, or $0.70 per adjusted share, in the September 2019 quarter.

December 2019 Quarter Compared to December 2018 Quarter

AUM at December 31, 2019 was $121.0 billion, up from $96.2 billion at December 31, 2018. The change in AUM over the period was due to $28.1 billion in market appreciation, partially offset by $3.3 billion of net client cash outflows. Average AUM for the December 2019 quarter was $115.8 billion, an increase of 10% from average AUM of $105.0 billion for the December 2018 quarter.

Revenues of $208.4 million in the December 2019 quarter increased $16.9 million, or 9%, from $191.5 million in the December 2018 quarter primarily due to higher average AUM.

Operating expenses of $129.0 million in the December 2019 quarter increased $1.7 million, or 1%, from $127.3 million in the December 2018 quarter, primarily as a result of higher incentive compensation expense, partially offset by lower equity-based compensation expense and onboarding costs incurred in the December 2018 quarter related to the Non-U.S.Small-Mid Growth strategy.

Operating margin was 38.1% for the December 2019 quarter compared to 33.5% for the December 2018 quarter.

Investment gains on seed investments contributed $4.1 million of investment income in the December 2019 quarter, compared to $2.7 million of losses in the December 2018 quarter.

GAAP net income was $44.5 million, or $0.76 per basic and diluted share, in the December 2019 quarter, compared to GAAP net income of $32.5 million, or $0.57 per basic and diluted share, in the December 2018 quarter. Adjusted net income was $58.5 million, or $0.75 per adjusted share, in the December 2019 quarter, compared to adjusted net income of $47.4 million, or $0.61 per adjusted share, in the December 2018 quarter.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018

Average AUM for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $111.0 billion, 2% lower than average AUM of $113.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Revenues of $799.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased $29.6 million, or 4%, from $828.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily due to lower average AUM in 2019.

Operating expenses of $515.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased $8.2 million, or 2%, from $523.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily as a result of lower incentive compensation and third-party distribution expense due to decreased revenues, lower equity-based compensation expense and onboarding costs incurred in 2018 related to the Non-U.S. Small- Mid Growth strategy. These decreases were partially offset by increases in occupancy expense related to investment team relocations, higher compensation and benefits expenses on an increased number of full-time employees, and increased technology expenses.

Operating margin was 35.5% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 36.8% for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Investment gains on seed investments contributed $9.9 million of investment income for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $1.1 million of investment income for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Provision for income taxes was lower for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 due to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets in 2019 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 2019 provision for income taxes by $23.0 million and increased non-operating expense by $19.6 million. The adjusted tax rate for 2019 increased from 23.5% to 24.1%.

GAAP net income was $156.5 million, or $2.65 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to GAAP net income of $158.3 million, or $2.84 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018. Adjusted net income was $208.0 million, or $2.67 per adjusted share for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to adjusted net income of $226.1 million, or $2.94 per adjusted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Capital Management & Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents were $134.6 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $160.5 million at December 31, 2018. The Company paid a variable quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share of Class A common stock during the December 2019 quarter. The Company had total borrowings of $200.0 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

During the December 2019 quarter, limited partners of Artisan Partners Holdings exchanged 169,223 common units for 169,223 Class A common shares. The exchanges increased the Company's public float of Class A common stock by 169,223 shares, or 0.3%.

Total stockholders' equity was $138.5 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $140.5 million at December 31, 2018. The Company had 56.4 million Class A common shares outstanding at December 31, 2019.

The Company's debt leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with its loan agreements, was 0.6X at December 31, 2019.

On January 29, 2020, the Company's board of directors approved the grant of 919,455 restricted share-based awards to certain employees pursuant to the Company's 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. The grant will be effective February 18, 2020.

Dividend

The Company's board of directors declared a variable quarterly dividend of $0.68 per share with respect to the December 2019 quarter and a special dividend of $0.60 per share. The combined amount, $1.28 per share of Class A common stock, will be paid on February 28, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 14, 2020. 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 $0.68 per share represents approximately 80% of the cash generated in the December 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.

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.

In this material, we report investment returns generated for our clients and assets generated in excess of benchmark returns. Assets are estimates of the amount in dollars by which Artisan's investment strategies have generated and outperformed or underperformed the return of 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

  1. summing the monthly excess returns. First Generation strategies include: U.S. Small-Cap Growth, Non-U.S. Growth, U.S. Mid-Cap Growth, U.S. Small-Cap Value, U.S. Mid-Cap Value, Non-U.S.Small-Cap Growth, and Non-U.S. Value.

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 APAM's current federal, state, and local income statutory tax rates. The adjusted tax rate was 24.1% and 23.5% for the 2019 and 2018 periods, respectively. The year-to-date impact of the change in the 2019 adjusted 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 resulted in an adjusted tax rate of 25.1% for the September 2019 quarter). The Company currently expects the 2020 adjusted 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, 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.

_______________________________________

  • 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 December 31, 2019, are maintained in separate composites, which are not presented in these materials). Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

  • Value-addedis 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. The Thematic strategy's investments in initial public offerings (IPOs) made a material contribution to performance. IPO investments may contribute significantly to a small portfolio's return, an effect that will generally decrease as assets grow. IPO investments may be unavailable in the future.

  • Other Assets Under Management includes AUM managed by the Credit Team in the Credit Opportunities strategy and by the Thematic Team in the Thematic Long/ Short strategy, respectively. Strategy specific information has been omitted.
