Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Plan Administrators

Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc.

401(k) and Thrift Plan:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. 401(k) and Thrift Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. 401(k) and Thrift Plan as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule 1 — Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 2012 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2012 and 2011

 

(1)                     Description of Plan

 

The following brief description of the Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. 401(k) and Thrift Plan, as amended and restated (the Plan), is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

 

(a)                      General

 

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries who have 30 days of service for Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. or a subsidiary. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). Plan administration is accomplished through a committee of six persons who have authority to arbitrate disputes and settle claims arising under the Plan.

 

(b)                      Contributions

 

Participants are allowed to make semi-monthly pre—tax and after—tax contributions not to exceed eligible earnings less required social security tax withholdings, subject to Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) annual limitations of $17,000 for 2012 and $16,500 for 2011; $22,500 for 2012 and $22,000 for 2011 if the participant is 50 years of age or older. The Plan provides for a matching employer contribution of 100% of the first 3% of compensation and 50% of the next 2% of compensation that the participant contributes. Employer matching contributions are pre—tax and begin after the participant completes 12 consecutive months of service.

 

Participants direct the investment of participant and employer matching contributions among investment options available under the Plan.

 

(c)                       Participant Accounts and Vesting

 

Each participant’s account is credited with their contribution, the employer’s matching contribution, and earnings on their participant and employer account balances. Participants vest immediately in their contributions, employer matching contributions, and actual earnings thereon.

 

(d)                      Participant Loans

 

Participant loans are not permitted.

 

(e)                       Payment of Benefits

 

Upon termination of service for any reason and election to withdraw from the Plan, a participant is paid a lump-sum distribution. Former employees can elect not to withdraw from the Plan, but cannot continue to make contributions to the Plan.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2012 and 2011

 

(2)                     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)                      Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and present the Plan’s net assets available for benefits and changes in those net assets using the accrual method of accounting.

 

The Plan allows contributions to be invested in Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. Class A common stock and certain mutual fund shares of (i) the Waddell & Reed Advisors Group of Mutual Funds and (ii) the Ivy Funds. Waddell and Reed Investment Management Company and Ivy Investment Management Company, participating employers in the Plan, manage the Waddell & Reed Advisors Group of Mutual Funds and the Ivy Funds, respectively. BMO Harris Bank N.A. serves as the trustee for the Plan.

 

The Plan had 1,758 and 1,709 participants at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2012, 483 of the 1,758 participants in the Plan were former employees who had elected not to withdraw from the Plan. At December 31, 2011, 360 of the 1,709 participants in the Plan were former employees who had elected not to withdraw from the Plan.

 

(b)                      Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(c)                       Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Plan’s investments in the mutual fund shares are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Quoted market prices are used to value or derive the value of investments.

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

 

(d)                      Payment of Benefits and Administrative Expenses

 

Benefits are recorded when paid. Administrative expenses are paid by the participating employers listed in note 4.

(b)                      Fair Value Measures

 

Accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the asset. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. An individual investment’s fair value measurement is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:

 

·

 

Level 1 — Investments are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

 

 

·

 

Level 2 — Investments are valued using other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices in active markets for similar securities.

 

 

 

·

 

Level 3 — Investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including the Plan’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

401(k) AND THRIFT PLAN

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2012 and 2011

 

Assets classified as Level 2 can have a variety of observable inputs. These observable inputs are collected and utilized, primarily by an independent pricing service, in different evaluated pricing approaches depending upon the specific asset to determine a value.

 

Securities’ values classified as Level 3 are primarily determined through the use of a single quote (or multiple quotes) from dealers in the securities using proprietary valuation models. These quotes involve significant unobservable inputs, and thus, the related securities are classified as Level 3 securities.

 

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, all of the Plan’s investments were Level 1 investments.

 

(c)                       Change in Fair Values

 

During 2012, the Plan’s investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year) appreciated by $18,895,421 as follows:

(5)                     Related-Party Transactions

 

Plan investments include shares of mutual funds managed by Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company and Ivy Investment Management Company, as well as shares of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. Class A common stock. Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. and its affiliates are the sponsors, as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party in interest. Fees incurred by the Plan for investment management services are included in net appreciation in fair value of investments.

 

(6)                     Plan Termination

 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. All plan assets would be distributed in the event of plan termination.

 

(7)                     Tax Status

 

The IRS has determined and informed Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. by a letter dated May 9, 2012 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1980, as amended. The plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel are not aware of any activity or transactions that would adversely affect the qualified status of the Plan.

 

In accordance with GAAP, plan management is required to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan currently has no audits for any tax periods in progress.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2012 and 2011

 

(8)                     Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

 

(9)                     Reconciliation of Financial Statements to the Form 5500

 

At December 31, 2012, $40,286 in benefit payments had been processed and approved for payment, but had not yet been paid. This amount is presented herein as a component of net assets in the accompanying financial statements, but is presented as a liability of the Plan on the Form 5500.
