JANUS CAPITAL GROUP INC. ANNOUNCES

SECOND QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

 

DENVER — Janus Capital Group Inc. (“JCG”) (NYSE: JNS) today reported second quarter 2015 net income of $44.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared with first quarter 2015 net income of $44.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, and net income of $36.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2014. Second quarter 2015 net income included a $0.01 per diluted share charge for deal costs associated with the acquisition of Kapstream Capital Pty Limited (“Kapstream”).

 

Flows and Assets Under Management

 

Average assets under management during the second quarter 2015 were $193.0 billion compared with $186.0 billion during the first quarter 2015 and $174.4 billion during the second quarter 2014.

 

At June 30, 2015, JCG’s total assets under management were $189.5 billion compared with $189.7 billion at March 31, 2015, and $177.7 billion at June 30, 2014.

 

The decrease in complex-wide assets during the second quarter 2015 reflects net market deprecation of $0.4 billion and long-term net inflows of $0.2 billion. Fixed income long-term net inflows totaled $0.3 billion, while fundamental equity long-term net outflows (Janus and Perkins flows) totaled $0.1 billion.

Second quarter 2015 revenues of $271.9 million increased from first quarter 2015, primarily from higher investment management fees on increased average assets under management. Second quarter 2015 operating expenses of $189.8 million increased $3.1 million, or 1.7%, from first quarter 2015, primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses as a result of deal costs associated with the acquisition of Kapstream.

 

Capital and Liquidity

 

At June 30, 2015, JCG had stockholders’ equity of $1.6 billion, cash and investments of $654.3 million and outstanding debt of $452.0 million.

 

Cash flows from operations during the second quarter 2015 were $87.3 million compared with $(58.9) million during the first quarter 2015 and $65.9 million during the second quarter 2014. The change in cash flows from operations comparing second quarter 2015 to first quarter 2015 is due to payment of annual incentive compensation in the first quarter 2015.

 

As part of its capital management, JCG repurchased 628,992 shares of its common stock at an average price of $17.85 per share and a total cost of $11.2 million during the second quarter 2015.

On July 1, 2015, JCG announced and closed the acquisition of a 51% interest in Kapstream, a global unconstrained fixed income asset manager with $7.0 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2015. The transaction includes an initial upfront cash consideration of approximately $85 million, and JCG has the option to purchase the remaining 49% interest from Kapstream management on the third and fourth anniversaries of the acquisition. The acquisition serves to further expand JCG’s fixed income capabilities and build out its global unconstrained fixed income team.

 

On July 16, 2015, JCG’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share. The quarterly dividend will be paid on August 21, 2015, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 7, 2015.

Data presented reflects past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Call 877.33JANUS (52687) or visit janus.com/advisor/mutual-funds for performance, rankings and ratings current to the most recent month-end.

 

Janus Capital Group Inc. (“JCG”) provides investment advisory services through its primary subsidiaries, Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus”), INTECH Investment Management LLC (“INTECH”) and Perkins Investment Management LLC (“Perkins”).

 

“Complex-Wide Mutual Funds” means all affiliated mutual funds managed by Janus, INTECH and Perkins. “Fundamental Equity Mutual Funds” means all mutual funds managed by Janus or Perkins that invest in equity securities. “Fixed Income Mutual Funds” means all mutual funds managed by Janus that invest primarily in fixed income securities. “Mathematical Equity Relative Return Strategies” means all relative return discretionary managed accounts (not mutual funds) that are advised or sub-advised by INTECH with at least a one-year track record.

 

Mutual fund relative performance analysis shown is for each Fund’s parent share class (typically the share class with the longest performance history): Class T, S or I Shares in the Janus retail fund (“JIF”) trust and the Institutional or Service Shares in the Janus Aspen Series (“JAS”). These share classes may not be eligible for purchase by all investors. Other share classes may have higher sales and management fees, which can result in differences in performance.

 

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The value of your investment will fluctuate over time and you may gain or lose money. A fund’s performance may be affected by risks that include those associated with non-diversification, non-investment grade debt securities, high-yield/high-risk securities, undervalued or overlooked companies, investments in specific industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest. Additional risks to funds may include those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), derivatives, short sales, commodity linked investments and companies with relatively small market capitalizations. Each fund has different risks. Please see a Janus prospectus for more information about risks, fund holdings and other details.

The Overall Morningstar RatingTM for a fund is derived from a weighted-average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar RatingTM metrics. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of the funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages). The Morningstar RatingTM may differ among share classes of a mutual fund as a result of different sales loads and/or expense structures. It may be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund. Morningstar does not rate funds with less than a three-year performance history.

 

The Morningstar percentile ranking is based on the fund’s total-return percentile rank relative to all funds that have the same category for the same time period. The highest (or most favorable) percentile rank is 1%, and the lowest (or least favorable) percentile rank is 100%. Morningstar total-return includes both income and capital gains or losses and is not adjusted for sales charges. The top-performing funds in a category will always receive a rank of 1.

 

Morningstar performance on an asset-weighted basis is calculated by taking all funds and assigning the assets under management (“AUM”) in each respective fund to either the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th quartile bucket based on each fund’s respective Morningstar relative ranking. The total AUM of each quartile’s bucket is then divided by complex-wide total AUM to arrive at the respective percent of AUM in each bucket.
