Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. Reports 2Q20 Results
Milwaukee, WI - July 28, 2020 - 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, 2020, and declared a quarterly dividend.
Chairman and CEO, Eric Colson, said, "At Artisan Partners, we focus on people, investments and trust. We invest in talented people, a flexible investment platform and long-term relationships. These investments take time and patience. The outcomes are uneven over short periods. Over the long term, though, our philosophy and model compound capital for clients, create opportunities for our associates and grow business value for our shareholders.
"Our approach to people is personalized and patient. People value and fear different things, and their preferences and priorities change over time. We treat people as individuals and remain flexible. We embrace the fact that individuals grow and change over their careers and lives. We avoid jamming people into a single environment, culture or structure. And we are patient, giving talented people resources and time to generate successful outcomes.
"This approach has resulted in nine successful investment franchises at Artisan Partners—each with steady leadership and proven investment results. Since inception, 15 of our 18 investment strategies have outperformed their benchmarks, after fees. Twelve strategies have beaten their benchmarks by an average of 200 basis points or more, per year, since inception, after fees. More recently, our strategies have performed well through the volatile first six months of this year, with 12 of 18 strategies outperforming their benchmarks, after fees, resulting in 606 basis points of firm-wide gross alpha.
"We are highly selective about the opportunities we pursue, and we are careful to maintain the operational and business capacity to capitalize on the best opportunities when they arise—the timing of which is impossible to predict. Our three most recent portfolio manager additions are good examples of how we act opportunistically to hire great investors and then partner with them to methodically build investment franchises.
"In late 2018, we took the opportunity to hire Rezo Kanovich, an accomplished international equity portfolio manager, and partner with him to launch the Artisan International Small-Mid Growth strategy. Since inception 18 months ago, Rezo and his team have generated a cumulative return of 37.2%, after fees, compared to 6.8% for their benchmark index, and we have built the business to $3.4 billion in AUM.
"In 2017, Chris Smith joined Artisan Partners and established the Thematic team. Since launch, the team’s Thematic strategy has generated a cumulative return of 95.0%, after fees, compared to 38.5% for the S&P 500. The mutual fund managed by the team, the Artisan Focus Fund, has a five-star Overall Morningstar Rating and ranks number 23 out of 358 funds in its Morningstar category. Today, the Thematic team manages $2.6 billion in AUM.
"Lastly, we recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of Lewis Kaufman joining the firm and launching the Developing World strategy. He and his team have generated a cumulative return of 103.1% since inception, after fees, compared to 15.1% for the emerging markets index. The Artisan Developing World fund also has a five-star Overall Morningstar Rating, ranks number 2 out of 177 funds in its Morningstar category and has $5.4 billion in assets.
"We continue to operate well in the largely work-from-home environment. Our investment teams have taken advantage of market volatility to invest opportunistically. Our distribution professionals have used technology to communicate with existing clients, prospects and new relationships. And our operations professionals continue to support our mobile and flexible environment.
"The operating capacity and long-term relationships we have built over many years are paying off. Our high value-added, active approach to investing and strong investment results are resonating in the marketplace. Since March, we have raised significant capital across our business, from both existing and new clients. Uncertainty and volatility have created opportunities, and allocators are turning to us because they trust us to do things well—and to do things right.
"Trust is an asset that is every bit as important and valuable as our people, our investment platform and our track record. We are deeply gratified by all of the people—clients, associates and shareholders—who place their trust in us. We will continue to do all that we can to fulfill it."

June 2020 Quarter Compared to March 2020 Quarter
AUM increased to $120.6 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of $25.4 billion, or 27%, compared to $95.2 billion at March 31, 2020, as a result of $22.1 billion in positive investment returns and $3.3 billion of net client cash inflows. For the quarter, average AUM decreased 4% to $109.3 billion from $113.8 billion in the March 2020 quarter.
Revenues of $203.0 million in the June 2020 quarter increased $0.2 million from $202.8 million in the March 2020 quarter, primarily due to a $5.1 million increase in performance fee revenue and an increase in the weighted average fee rate, partially offset by lower average AUM.
Operating expenses of $126.4 million in the June 2020 quarter decreased $5.4 million, or 4%, from $131.8 million in the March 2020 quarter, primarily as a result of lower seasonal expenses, which include employer funded retirement and health care contributions, payroll taxes, and non-employee director compensation. Operating expenses were also lower due to a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses resulting from reduced travel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Incentive compensation expense as a percentage of revenues increased slightly as a result of incentive compensation paid on a higher level of performance fee revenue in the June 2020 quarter.
Operating margin increased to 37.8% in the June 2020 quarter from 35.0% in the March 2020 quarter.
Investment gains on seed investments were $6.6 million in the June 2020 quarter, compared to investment losses on seed investments of $8.1 million in the March 2020 quarter. These investment gains and losses are net of income attributable to third party shareholders of consolidated investment products.
GAAP net income was $46.2 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted share, in the June 2020 quarter, compared to GAAP net income of $34.8 million, or $0.53 per basic and diluted share in the March 2020 quarter. Adjusted net income was $55.9 million, or $0.71 per adjusted share, in the June 2020 quarter, compared to adjusted net income of $51.7 million, or $0.66 per adjusted share, in the March 2020 quarter.

June 2020 Quarter Compared to June 2019 Quarter
AUM at June 30, 2020, was $120.6 billion, up from $113.8 billion at June 30, 2019. The change in AUM over the one-year period was due to $5.6 billion of positive investment returns and $1.2 billion of net client cash inflows. Average AUM for the June 2020 quarter was $109.3 billion, 1% lower than average AUM for the June 2019 quarter.
Revenues of $203.0 million in the June 2020 quarter increased $2.3 million, or 1%, from $200.7 million in the June 2019 quarter primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in performance fee revenue.
Operating expenses of $126.4 million in the June 2020 quarter decreased $3.4 million, or 3%, from $129.8 million in the June 2019 quarter, primarily as a result of lower equity-based compensation expense, a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses, and lower technology costs. The decreases were partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense related to increased revenues.
Operating margin was 37.8% for the June 2020 quarter compared to 35.3% for the June 2019 quarter.
Investment gains on seed investments were $6.6 million in the June 2020 quarter, compared to investment gains of $2.0 million in the June 2019 quarter.
GAAP net income was $46.2 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted share, in the June 2020 quarter, compared to GAAP net income of $39.2 million, or $0.66 per basic and diluted share, in the June 2019 quarter. Adjusted net income was $55.9 million, or $0.71 per adjusted share, in the June 2020 quarter, compared to adjusted net income of $52.4 million, or $0.67 per adjusted share, in the June 2019 quarter.

Six Months Ended June 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 2019
AUM increased to $120.6 billion at June 30, 2020, up 6% compared to $113.8 billion at June 30, 2019. Average AUM for the June 2020 six-month period was $111.6 billion, 4% higher than average AUM of $107.6 billion for the June 2019 six-month period due to higher AUM at the beginning of 2020 compared to 2019.
Revenues of $405.8 million for the six months ended June 2020 increased $18.1 million, or 5%, from $387.7 million for the six months ended June 2019 primarily due to higher average AUM and a $6.5 million increase in performance fee revenue.
Operating expenses of $258.2 million for the six months ended June 2020 decreased $0.9 million from $259.1 million for the six months ended June 2019. Higher compensation expense related to increased revenues and an increased number of employees was more than offset by lower equity-based compensation expense, a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses, an occupancy charge taken during the six months ended June 2019 related to the exit of an office space, and lower technology costs.
Operating margin was 36.4% for the six months ended June 2020 compared to 33.2% for the six months ended June 2019.
GAAP net income was $81.0 million, or $1.26 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 2020, compared to net income of $70.7 million, or $1.15 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 2019. Adjusted net income was $107.6 million, or $1.37 per adjusted share, for the six months ended June 2020, an increase of 14% compared to adjusted net income of $94.7 million, or $1.22 per adjusted share, for the six months ended June 2019.

Capital Management & Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents were $190.9 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $134.6 million at December 31, 2019. The Company paid a variable quarterly dividend of $0.61 per share of Class A common stock during the June 2020 quarter. The Company had total borrowings of $200.0 million at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

During the June 2020 quarter, limited partners of Artisan Partners Holdings exchanged 722,636 common units for 722,636 Class A common shares. The exchanges increased the Company’s public float of Class A common stock by 722,636 shares, or 1.2%.
Total stockholders’ equity was $125.8 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $138.5 million at December 31, 2019. The Company had 61.4 million Class A common shares outstanding at June 30, 2020. The Company’s debt leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with its loan agreements, was 0.6X at June 30, 2020.
Dividend
The Company’s board of directors declared a variable quarterly dividend of $0.67 per share of Class A common stock with respect to the June 2020 quarter. The dividend will be paid on August 31, 2020, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 17, 2020. Based on our projections and subject to change, we expect some portion of the 2020 dividend payments to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.
The variable quarterly dividend represents approximately 80% of the cash generated in the June 2020 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.

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) and (2) net investment gain (loss) of investment products. 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) and (2) net investment gain (loss) of investment products. 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 24.5% and 23.5% for the 2020 and 2019 periods presented, respectively.
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.

______________________________________
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 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 10% of our assets under management at June 30, 2020, are maintained in separate composites, which are not presented in these materials). Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

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. 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 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.
3 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.
