GAMCO Reports First Quarter Earnings
Operating Income Exceeds Prior Year Quarter By 5.5%
Negative Swing in Other Income Crimps Earnings
 
Rye, New York, May 8, 2008 – GAMCO Investors, Inc. (GAMCO) (NYSE: GBL) announced first quarter 2008 earnings of $0.37 per fully diluted share versus $0.67 per fully diluted share in 2007.  Operating income of $25.2 million, or $0.47 per fully diluted share, was 5.5% higher than the $23.9 million, or $0.45 per fully diluted share, in the prior year’s comparable quarter.  Our portfolio of  investments, most of which are marked to market, incurred a $15.9 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted share, drag on earnings from other income.  This masked the near-record level of operating income.  Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $10.5 million compared to $19.2 million in 2007.
 
Assets Under Management
 
Assets Under Management (AUM) were $28.7 billion as of March 31, 2008, 7.5% lower than December 31, 2007 AUM of $31.0 billion and 2.3% below March 31, 2007 AUM of $29.4 billion.  Equity assets under management were $27.3 billion on March 31, 2008, 8.8% less than December 31, 2007 equity assets of $29.9 billion and 5.1% below the $28.7 billion on March 31, 2007.

-  
Our open-end equity fund AUM were $9.5 billion on March 31, 2008, a 3.2% decline from $9.8 billion on December 31, 2007 while 6.8% higher than the $8.9 billion on March 31, 2007. During the quarter we had positive inflows of $104 million.  This does not include the Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Fund, a $400 million fund where Gabelli Funds, LLC was appointed the investment adviser to the fund on March 11, 2008.

-  
Our closed-end equity funds had AUM of $5.8 billion on March 31, 2008, down 9.1% from $6.3 billion on December 31, 2007 and 6.9% from the $6.2 billion on March 31, 2007.

-  
Our institutional and private wealth management business ended the quarter with $11.6 billion in separately managed accounts, a drop of 12.6% compared to $13.3 billion on December 31, 2007 and 12.1% lower than the $13.2 billion on March 31, 2007. The adoption of the investment advisory agreement of the Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Fund by Gabelli Funds, LLC, resulting in the reclassification of these assets from institutional sub-advisory to mutual fund advisory, accounted for $0.4 billion of the three month difference. On a pro-forma basis, the assets would have been down 8.6% in the quarter from $12.7 billion at year end and down 7.0% from the adjusted year ago quarter-end of $12.5 billion.

-  
Our Investment Partnerships AUM were $396 million on March 31, 2008 versus $460 million on December 31, 2007 and $477 million on March 31, 2007.

-  
Fixed income AUM were $1.4 billion on March 31, 2008 surging 26.3% from the $1.1 billion on December 31, 2007 and rising 126.1% over the $0.6 billion on March 31, 2007.

-  
We receive incentive and fulcrum fees for our investment partnership assets, certain institutional client assets as well as preferred issues for our closed-end funds.  As of March 31, 2008, incentive and fulcrum fee assets were $3.3 billion, a decrease of 7.2% versus $3.5 billion on December 31, 2007 and 5.3% below $3.5 billion on March 31, 2007.
 
First Quarter Revenues
 
Investment advisory fees for the first quarter 2008 were $56.8 million, slightly above the 2007 comparative figure of $56.6 million:

-  
Open-end mutual funds revenues grew by 10.4% to $23.6 million from $21.4 million in first quarter 2007 primarily due to higher average AUM.

-  
Our closed-end funds revenues fell 2.3% to $11.5 million in the first quarter 2008 from $11.8 million in 2007 primarily due to decreased average AUM.

-  
Institutional and high net worth separate accounts revenues, whose revenues are based upon prior quarter-end AUM, decreased 3.5% to $20.9 million from $21.6 million in first quarter 2007 primarily due to incentive fees. Excluding the impact of the lower performance-related fees of $1.3 million, revenues increased 2.7%.

-  
Investment Partnership revenues declined $0.9 million or 54.9% below revenues from $1.7 million in 2007.  This decline was primarily due to both decreased incentive fees and AUM.
 
Commission revenues from our institutional research affiliate, Gabelli & Company, Inc., were $3.3 million in the first quarter 2008, down 19.0% from the prior year.  The decrease was primarily due to a decline in share volume, slightly offset by an increase in average revenue earned per share traded.
 
Mutual fund distribution fees and other income were $6.4 million for the first quarter 2008, an increase of $0.4 million, or 7.0%, from $6.0 million in first quarter 2007.

Operating Margin
 
For the first quarter 2008, the operating margin before management fee was 37.9%, including $1.2 million in compensation expense for restricted stock awards granted in December 2007.  Excluding the RSA compensation expense, the operating margin would have been 39.7%.  In the year ago period, the operating margin was 35.9% after incurring $1.6 million of one-time expenses relating to the launch of The Gabelli Global Deal Fund.  Excluding the launch costs, our operating margin before management fee would have been 38.3% in the year ago quarter.
 
Other Income / (Expense)
 
Total other expense, net of interest expense, was ($5.7) million for the first quarter 2008 versus income (net of interest expense) of $10.2 million in the prior year’s quarter.

Business Highlights

·  
On March 11, 2008, GAMCO’s Gabelli Funds, LLC assumed the role of investment advisor to the AXA Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Fund, a fund that has been sub-advised by GAMCO since the fund’s inception on February 28, 2001. The portfolio management team, which has managed the fund since inception, will remain the same. This transaction is expected to have a nominal positive effect on our future financial results.

·  
The Board of Directors of The Gabelli Convertible and Income Securities Fund Inc. (NYSE: GCV) authorized the filing of a shelf registration of up to $100 million in preferred stock or debt securities, allowing for additional flexibility towards resolving the illiquidity that has occurred for holders of GCV’s auction rate preferred stock. GCV, whose primary investment objective is to seek a high level of total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation, currently has approximately $50 million of preferred stock outstanding, $25 million of which is auction rate preferred stock, which the Board of GCV has authorized to be redeemed. At March 31, 2008, GCV had $142 million in total assets.

·  
In March 2008, Gabelli & Company, Inc, our institutional equity research firm, held its 18th Annual Pump, Valve & Motor Symposium in New York City. The two-day research conference included interactive presentations from several leading manufacturers and suppliers of engineered pumps and valves, industrial instruments and precision motors.

·  
Mark Yim, CFA, joined GAMCO in January 2008 as an analyst and portfolio manager for the Gabelli Japanese Value Fund and is also a member of GAMCO’s Global Growth Team. Prior to joining GAMCO, Mark was the principal of Cedar Tree Capital Management LLC and was formerly principal of Cameron Global Investments LLC, both Asia/Japan long-short hedge funds. Hailing from New Jersey, Mark graduated from Princeton University with an AB in Comparative Literature and subsequently earned an MBA in Finance at the University of Chicago.

·  
Our liquid balance sheet, coupled with investment grade credit ratings from both Moody's and Standard & Poor's, provides access to financial markets and the flexibility to opportunistically add operating resources to our firm, repurchase our stock and consider strategic initiatives. As a result of GAMCO Investors, Inc.'s shelf registration in the third quarter 2006, we have the right to issue any combination of senior and subordinate debt securities, convertible debt securities and equity securities (including common and preferred securities) up to a total amount of $520 million.
 

Financial Highlights
 
Statement of Financial Condition – Liquidity and Flexibility
 
We ended the quarter with approximately $693.2 million in cash and investments, which is net of $5.2 million of cash and investments held by our consolidated investment partnerships.  This included approximately $111.7 million of our investments in The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust, The Gabelli Global Deal Fund and Westwood Holdings Group, as well as other investments of $14.5 million, all classified as available for sale securities. 
 
Our debt at March 31, 2008 consisted of $100 million of 5.5% senior notes due May 2013 and a $40.0 million 6% convertible note due August 2011.  We had cash and investments in securities, net of debt and minority interest, of $19.22 per share on March 31, 2008 compared with $18.01 per share on March 31, 2007. We caution that this metric, while correct from an accounting point of view, is not always the same as investors would view cash-on-hand.
 
Stockholders' equity was $507.9 million or $17.86 per share on March 31, 2008 compared to $501.3 million or $17.62 per share on December 31, 2007 and $467.5 million or $16.55 per share on March 31, 2007.
 
Shareholder Compensation
 
Dividends
 
On February 5, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share to be paid on March 28, 2008 to shareholders of record on March 14, 2008.
 
On May 7, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the distribution to GAMCO shareholders of shares of common stock of Teton Advisors, Inc. owned by GAMCO.  Further details regarding the record date and distribution date will be provided as they are finalized.
 
GAMCO also announced that on May 7, 2008 its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.03 per share to all of its Class A and Class B shareholders, payable on June 27, 2008 to shareholders of record on June 13, 2008.
 
Stockholders’ Equity
 
Shares outstanding on March 31, 2008 were 28.4 million, the same as December 31, 2007 and above the 28.2 million shares outstanding on March 31, 2007.  Fully diluted shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2008 were 29.0 million, slightly below both fourth quarter 2007’s level of 29.1 million and first quarter 2007’s level of 29.2 million.
 
On December 7, 2007, GAMCO granted 385,400 Restricted Stock Awards ("RSA") shares to our team members. Under the terms of the RSA, staff will vest 30% of their respective awards after 3 years of service and will vest 70% of their respective awards after 5 years of service.  In January, GAMCO filed a Form S-3 to allow Cascade Investments to liquefy any portion of the $50 million of convertible debentures it then held. On January 22, 2008, Cascade Investments converted $10 million of the convertible debentures into 188,697 GBL shares.
 
In the first quarter of 2008, we repurchased 208,589 shares at an average investment of $51.83 per share.  From April 1 through May 8, 2008, we repurchased an additional 52,936 shares of our class A common stock at an average investment of $45.83 per share.
 
On May 7, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 500,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock at such times, prices and amounts to be determined by the company.  After this additional authorization, there are approximately 1,100,000 shares authorized for repurchase under GAMCO’s stock repurchase program.  To date, we have repurchased 5,117,583 class A common shares at an average investment of $40.28 per share since our buyback program was initiated in March 1999.

We believe adjusted cash and investments is a more useful measure of the company’s liquidity for analytical purposes.
 
Net amounts receivable from/(payable to) brokers reflect cash and cash equivalents held with brokers and cash payable for securities purchased and recorded on a trade date basis for which settlement occurs subsequent to period-end.

B.  
Operating income before management fee expense is used by management for purposes of evaluating its business operations.  We believe this measure is useful in illustrating the operating results of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (the "Company") as management fee expense is based on pre-tax income before management fee expense, which includes non-operating items including investment gains and losses from the Company’s proprietary investment portfolio and interest expense.  The reconciliation of operating income before management fee expense to operating income is provided in Table IV.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Our disclosure and analysis in this press release contain some forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. They also appear in any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance of our products, expenses, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results.  Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about our business and operations, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe.  Some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations or beliefs include, without limitation: the adverse effect from a decline in the securities markets; a decline in the performance of our products; a general downturn in the economy; changes in government policy or regulation; changes in our ability to attract or retain key employees; and unforeseen costs and other effects related to legal proceedings or investigations of governmental and self-regulatory organizations.  We also direct your attention to any more specific discussions of risk contained in our Form 10-K and other public filings.  We are providing these statements as permitted by the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  We do not undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements if we subsequently learn that we are unlikely to achieve our expectations or if we receive any additional information relating to the subject matters of our forward-looking statements.
