lower average assets under management and advisement during the
quarter, strong markets and improved long-term performance helped
deliver improvement by quarter end," said Heather Brilliant, CEO. "Our efforts to
diversify are showing promise as we continue to see inflows in
fixed income, which unfortunately were offset by equity
outflows."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation
As supplemental information, the Company is providing certain
financial measures that are based on methodologies other than GAAP
("non-GAAP"). Management believes the non-GAAP financial
measures below are useful measures of the Company's core business
activities, are important metrics in estimating the value of an
asset management business, and help facilitate comparisons to
Company operating performance across periods. These non-GAAP
financial measures should not be used as a substitute for financial
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and may be calculated
differently by other companies. The following schedules
reconcile financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to
non-GAAP financial measures for the three- and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(1) This non-GAAP adjustment removes the
compensation expense resulting from market valuation changes in the
deferred compensation plans' liability and the related net
gains/losses on investments designated as an economic hedge against
the related liability. Amounts deferred under the deferred
compensation plans are adjusted for appreciation/depreciation of
investments chosen by participants. The Company believes it
is useful to offset the non-operating investment income or loss
realized on the hedges against the related compensation expense and
remove the net impact to help readers understand the Company's core
operating results and to improve comparability from period to
period.
(2) This non-GAAP adjustment removes the impact
that the Consolidated Funds have on the Company's GAAP consolidated
statements of income. Specifically, the Company adds back the
operating expenses and subtracts the investment income of the
Consolidated Funds. The adjustment to net operating income
represents the operating expenses of the Consolidated Funds, net of
the elimination of related management and administrative
fees. The adjustment to net income attributable to common
shareholders represents the net income of the Consolidated Funds,
net of redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company
believes removing the impact of the Consolidated Funds helps
readers understand its core operating results and improves
comparability from period to period.
(3) This non-GAAP adjustment represents the net
gains or losses earned on the Company's non-consolidated investment
portfolio that are not designated as economic hedges of the
deferred compensation plans' liability, non-consolidated seed
investments, and other investments. The Company believes
adjusting for these non-operating income or loss items helps
readers understand the Company's core operating results and
improves comparability from period to period.
(4) The income tax expense impacts were calculated
and resulted in an overall non-GAAP effective tax rate of 29.2% for
the three months ended June 30, 2023,
23.5% for the three months ended June 30,
2022, 28.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 25.2% for the six months
ended June 30, 2022.
The Company does not recommend that investors consider non-GAAP
financial measures alone, or as a substitute for, financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Throughout this press release, the Company may make
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements
are provided under the "safe harbor" protection of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding
anticipated operating results, prospects and levels of assets under
management, technological developments, economic trends (including
interest rates and market volatility), expected transactions and
similar matters. The words "may," "believe," "expect,"
"anticipate," "target," "goal," "project," "estimate," "guidance,"
"forecast," "outlook," "would," "will," "continue," "likely,"
"should," "hope," "seek," "plan," "intend," and variations of such
words and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements. Similarly, descriptions of the Company's
objectives, strategies, plans, goals, or targets are also
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
based on the Company's expectations at the time such statements are
made, speak only as of the dates they are made and are susceptible
to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors. While
the Company believes that the assumptions underlying its
forward-looking statements are reasonable, investors are cautioned
that any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and,
accordingly, the Company's actual results and experiences could
differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed in its forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause the Company's actual results or
experiences to differ materially from results discussed in
forward-looking statements are discussed under Part I, Item 1A
(Risk Factors) and elsewhere in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as well as
in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 30, 2023. These factors include, but are not
limited to: (i) any reduction in the Company's AUM or AUA; (ii)
withdrawal, renegotiation, or termination of investment advisory
agreements; (iii) damage to the Company's reputation; (iv) failure
to comply with investment guidelines or other contractual
requirements; (v) challenges from the competition the Company faces
in its business; (vi) adverse regulatory and legal developments;
(vii) unfavorable changes in tax laws or limitations; (viii)
interruptions in or failure to provide critical technological
service by the Company or third parties; (ix) adverse civil
litigation and government investigations or proceedings; (x) risk
of loss on the Company's investments; (xi) lack of sufficient
capital on satisfactory terms; (xii) losses or costs not covered by
insurance; (xiii) a decline in the performance of the Company's
products; (xiv) changes in interest rates and inflation; (xv)
changes in national and local economic and political conditions;
(xvi) the continuing economic uncertainty in various parts of the
world; (xvii) the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the
actions taken in connection therewith; (xviii) political
uncertainty caused by, among other things, political parties,
economic nationalist sentiments, tensions surrounding the current
socioeconomic landscape, and other risks identified from
time-to-time in other public documents of the Company on file with
the SEC.
In light of the significant uncertainties in forward-looking
statements, the inclusion of such information should not be
regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person
that its expectations, objectives and plans will be achieved. All
forward-looking statements made in this press release are based on
information presently available to the management of the Company
and speak only as of the date hereof. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. New risks and
uncertainties arise from time to time, and factors that the Company
currently deems immaterial may become material, and it is
impossible for the Company to predict these events or how they may
affect it. The Company assumes no obligation to update any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law,
although it may do so from time to time. The Company does not
endorse any projections regarding future performance that may be
made by third parties.
