WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE: AMG) today reported its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022.
Jay C. Horgen, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMG, said:
“AMG delivered 10% growth in full-year Economic Earnings per share, reflecting our unique business profile. Given the diversification of our business, our Affiliates' differentiated performance, and the positive impact of our capital allocation strategy — across both growth investments and share repurchases — we generated excellent results, notwithstanding significant market and flow headwinds facing our industry.
“In 2022, we continued to evolve our business toward areas of secular growth, including by expanding our partnership with one of the industry's leading technology-driven alternatives managers, and investing in a new Affiliate focused on communications infrastructure, further increasing our exposure to liquid alternatives and real assets, respectively. Over the past four years, we have invested $1.3 billion in growth investments in new and existing Affiliates and, given our disciplined capital allocation strategy, we have also returned $1.9 billion in excess capital to shareholders, resulting in a significant reduction in our share count.
“Given our business momentum, the quality and diversity of our Affiliates, as well as our strong and flexible balance sheet, we enter 2023 in an excellent position to capitalize on unique opportunities emerging in a fundamentally changed market environment. We remain focused on executing our strategy of allocating capital to the highest areas of growth and return within our disciplined capital allocation framework, and are confident in our ability to create meaningful shareholder value over time."

Notes
| (1) | Earnings per share (diluted) adjusts for the dilutive effect of the potential issuance of incremental shares of our common stock. |
| Prior to 2022, we excluded any potential dilutive effect from possible share settlements of Redeemable non-controlling interests as we intend to settle in cash. Upon adoption of Accounting Standard Update 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), we must assume the settlement of all of our Redeemable non-controlling interests using the maximum number of shares permitted under our arrangements. The issuance of shares and the related income acquired are excluded from the calculation if an assumed purchase of Redeemable non-controlling interests would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share. | |
| We had junior convertible securities outstanding during the periods presented and are required to apply the if-converted method to these securities in our calculation of Earnings per share (diluted). Under the if-converted method, shares that are issuable upon conversion are deemed outstanding, regardless of whether the securities are contractually convertible into our common stock at that time. For this calculation, the interest expense (net of tax) attributable to these dilutive securities is added back to Net income (controlling interest), reflecting the assumption that the securities have been converted. Issuable shares for these securities and related interest expense are excluded from the calculation if an assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share. |

| (2) | As supplemental information, we provide non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest), Economic net income (controlling interest), and Economic earnings per share. Management utilizes these non-GAAP performance measures to assess our performance before our share of certain non-cash expenses and to improve comparability between periods. |
| Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) represents our performance before our share of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments, gains and losses related to the BPEA Transaction, certain Affiliate equity expenses, certain gains and losses, including on general partner and seed capital investments, certain non-income based taxes, and adjustments to our contingent payment obligations. We believe that many investors use this non-GAAP measure when assessing the financial performance of companies in the investment management industry. | |
| Under our Economic net income (controlling interest) definition, we add to Net income (controlling interest) our share of pre-tax intangible amortization and impairments (including the portion attributable to equity method investments in Affiliates), deferred taxes related to intangible assets, gains and losses related to the BPEA Transaction, net of tax, and other economic items which include certain gains and losses, principally related to the accounting for contingent payment obligations as well as general partner and seed capital investments, tax windfalls and shortfalls from share-based compensation, certain Affiliate equity expenses, and non-cash imputed interest. Economic net income (controlling interest) is used by management and our Board of Directors as our principal performance benchmark, including as one of the measures for aligning executive compensation with stockholder value. | |
| Economic earnings per share represents Economic net income (controlling interest) divided by the Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted). In this calculation, we exclude the potential shares issued upon settlement of Redeemable non-controlling interests from Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted) because we intend to settle those obligations without issuing shares, consistent with all prior Affiliate equity purchase transactions. The potential share issuance in connection with our junior convertible securities is measured using a “treasury stock” method. Under this method, only the net number of shares of common stock equal to the value of the junior convertible securities in excess of par, if any, are deemed to be outstanding. We believe the inclusion of net shares under a treasury stock method best reflects the benefit of the increase in available capital resources (which could be used to repurchase shares of common stock) that occurs when these securities are converted and we are relieved of our debt obligation. |
