• AUM decreased 17% to US$299.7 billion compared to the prior quarter, due to challenged global markets, US dollar appreciation, and net outflows

Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer of Janus Henderson Group plc, stated:

“I am very pleased to be part of the Janus Henderson team. My first few weeks have reaffirmed my belief in the long-term opportunities ahead. I am excited by the talent, client focus, and strong financial foundation that we already have in place.

“As this quarter illustrates, the difficult market environment, mixed investment performance in a few strategies, and loss of market share demonstrate that we have much work to do at Janus Henderson to deliver consistent organic growth with attractive operating margins. I am working with my team to turn the opportunities we see for Janus Henderson into a strategy with a winning execution plan. The foundation for being a premier, truly global active asset manager is here, but it will take time to deliver the full potential of the Company to our clients, shareholders, employees, and all our stakeholders.”

Total		50	%	60	%	65	%	76	%

Outperformance is measured based on composite performance gross of fees vs primary benchmark, except where a strategy has no benchmark index or corresponding composite in which case the most relevant metric is used: (1) composite gross of fees vs zero for absolute return strategies, (2) fund net of fees vs primary index, or (3) fund net of fees vs Morningstar peer group average or median. Non-discretionary and separately managed account assets are included with a corresponding composite where applicable.

Cash management vehicles, ETF-enhanced beta strategies, Managed CDOs, Private Equity funds, and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Performance across all time periods excludes Intech, the sale of which was completed 31 March 2022. Excluded assets represent 5% of AUM as at 30 June 2022. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson.

Performance across all time periods excludes Intech, the sale of which was completed 31 March 2022. The top two Morningstar quartiles represent funds in the top half of their category based on total return. For the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods ending 30 June 2022, 55%, 54%, 57%, and 69% of the 186, 179, 174, and 148 total mutual funds, respectively, were in the top 2 Morningstar quartiles.

Analysis based on ‘primary’ share class (Class I Shares, Institutional Shares or share class with longest history for US Trusts; Class A Shares or share class with longest history for Dublin based; primary share class as defined by Morningstar for other funds). Performance may vary by share class. Rankings may be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund or share class and are calculated by Morningstar using a methodology that differs from that used by Janus Henderson. Methodology differences may have a material effect on the return and therefore the ranking. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.

ETFs and funds not ranked by Morningstar are excluded from the analysis. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson. © 2022 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we compute certain financial measures using non-GAAP components, as defined by the SEC. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We have provided a reconciliation of our non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP components. The following are reconciliations of US GAAP revenue, operating expenses, operating income, net income attributable to JHG, and diluted earnings per share to adjusted revenue, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to JHG, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

1			JHG contracts with third-party intermediaries to distribute and service certain of its investment products. Fees for distribution and servicing related activities are either provided for separately in an investment product’s prospectus or are part of the management fee. Under both arrangements, the fees are collected by JHG and passed through to third-party intermediaries who are responsible for performing the applicable services. The majority of distribution and servicing fees collected by JHG are passed through to third-party intermediaries. JHG management believes that the deduction of distribution and service fees from revenue in the computation of adjusted revenue reflects the pass-through nature of these revenues. In certain arrangements, JHG performs the distribution and servicing activities and retains the applicable fees. Revenues for distribution and servicing activities performed by JHG are not deducted from GAAP revenue.
2			Adjustments for the three months ended 30 June 2022 consist primarily of long-term incentive plan expense acceleration related to the departure of certain employees and rent expense for subleased office space. Adjustments for the three months ended 31 March 2022 consist primarily of long-term incentive plan expense associated with accelerated vesting of awards related to the retirement of our CEO and CIO, deal costs associated with the sale of Intech, and rent expense for subleased office space. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.
3			Investment management contracts have been identified as a separately identifiable intangible asset arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses. Such contracts are recognised at the net present value of the expected future cash flows arising from the contracts at the date of acquisition. For segregated mandate contracts, the intangible asset is amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the contracts. In addition, the adjustment for the three months ended 31 March 2022 includes an out-of-period incremental goodwill impairment charge, and the adjustment for the three months ended 30 June 2021 includes an impairment charge of certain mutual fund investment management agreements. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.
4			Adjustments primarily represent contingent consideration adjustments associated with prior acquisitions. In addition, the adjustment for the three months ended 30 June 2022 includes accumulated foreign currency translation expense related to liquidated JHG entities, and the adjustment for the three months ended 31 March 2022 includes a one-time charge related to the sale of Intech. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.
5			The tax impact of the adjustments is calculated based on the applicable US or foreign statutory tax rate as it relates to each adjustment. Certain adjustments are either not taxable or not tax-deductible.
