LONDON — Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE: JHG; “JHG," "Janus Henderson,” or the “Company”) published its second quarter 2024 results for the period ended June 30, 2024. Second quarter 2024 operating income was US$164.3 million compared to US$119.2 million in the first quarter 2024 and US$117.9 million in the second quarter 2023. Adjusted operating income, adjusted for one-time, acquisition and transaction related costs, was US$164.7 million in the second quarter 2024 compared to US$128.2 million in the first quarter 2024 and US$121.5 million in the second quarter 2023.

 

Second quarter 2024 diluted earnings per share of US$0.81 compared to US$0.81 in the first quarter 2024 and US$0.54 in the second quarter 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of US$0.85 in the second quarter 2024 compared to US$0.71 in the first quarter 2024 and compared to US$0.62 in the second quarter 2023.

 

Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer, stated:

 

"We are proud of the continued progress made this quarter, building on the progress of previous quarters. We are encouraged by consistently solid investment performance and positive net flows and believe it is another indication that our strategic plan is starting to bear fruit. The 37% year-over-year increase in adjusted diluted EPS and 570 basis point improvement in adjusted operating margin reflect robust operating leverage, and our healthy balance sheet and strong cash flow generation provides us the flexibility to continue to invest in the business—both organically and inorganically—as well as return cash to shareholders.

 

"We believe we are squarely on the path to delivering consistent results over the long term, and our results highlight areas of momentum in our business. While we are energized by the clear progress, we recognize there is more work to be done, and we remain focused on positioning Janus Henderson to deliver superior outcomes for our clients, employees, shareholders, and other stakeholders."

Outperformance is measured based on composite performance gross of fees versus primary benchmark, except where a strategy has no benchmark index or corresponding composite in which case the most relevant metric is used: (1) composite gross of fees versus zero for absolute return strategies, (2) fund net of fees versus primary index, or (3) fund net of fees versus Morningstar peer group average or median. Non-discretionary and separately managed account assets are included with a corresponding composite where applicable.

 

Cash management vehicles, ETF-enhanced beta strategies, Managed CDOs, Private Equity funds, and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Excluded assets represent 3% of AUM. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson.

Performance across all time periods excludes Intech, the sale of which was completed March 31, 2022. The top two Morningstar quartiles represent funds in the top half of their category based on total return. For the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods ending June 30, 2024, 62%, 60%, 57%, and 64% of the 184, 168, 159, and 143 total mutual funds, respectively, were in the top 2 Morningstar quartiles.

 

Analysis based on “primary” share class (Class I Shares, Institutional Shares, or share class with longest history for U.S. Trusts; Class A Shares or share class with longest history for Dublin based; primary share class as defined by Morningstar for other funds). Performance may vary by share class. Rankings may be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund or share class and are calculated by Morningstar using a methodology that differs from that used by Janus Henderson. Methodology differences may have a material effect on the return and therefore the ranking. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information

 

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we compute certain financial measures using non-GAAP components, as defined by the SEC. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We have provided a reconciliation of our non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP components. The following are reconciliations of GAAP revenue, operating expenses, operating income, net income attributable to JHG, and diluted earnings per share to adjusted revenue, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to JHG, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

JHG contracts with third-party intermediaries to distribute and service certain of its investment products. Fees for distribution and servicing related activities are either provided for separately in an investment product’s prospectus or are part of the management fee. Under both arrangements, the fees are collected by JHG and passed through to third-party intermediaries who are responsible for performing the applicable services. The majority of distribution and servicing fees collected by JHG are passed through to third-party intermediaries. JHG management believes that the deduction of distribution and servicing fees from revenue in the computation of adjusted revenue reflects the pass-through nature of these revenues. In certain arrangements, JHG performs the distribution and servicing activities and retains the applicable fees. Revenues for distribution and servicing activities performed by JHG are not deducted from GAAP revenue. In addition to the adjustments related to distribution and servicing activities, other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, also includes an adjustment related to an employee secondment arrangement with a joint venture. The arrangement is pass-through in nature, and we believe the costs do not represent our ongoing operations.

Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2024, include a US$4.7 million insurance reimbursement related to a separately managed account trade error that occurred in 2023, acquisition related expenses, and the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense related to the departure of certain employees. Adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, primarily relate to redundancy expenses and the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense related to the departure of certain employees. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations. Additionally, within the reconciliation of operating expenses to adjusted operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, employee compensation and benefits also includes an adjustment related to an employee secondment arrangement with a joint venture. The arrangement is pass-through in nature, and we believe the costs do not represent our ongoing operations.

Investment management contracts have been identified as a separately identifiable intangible asset arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses. Such contracts are recognized at the net present value of the expected future cash flows arising from the contracts at the date of acquisition. For segregated mandate contracts, the intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the contracts. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, consist primarily of the release of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments related to JHG liquidated entities. The adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2023, includes a correction of previously recognized earnings associated with an equity method investment. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

The tax impact of the adjustments is calculated based on the applicable U.S. or foreign statutory tax rate as it relates to each adjustment. Certain adjustments are either not taxable or not tax-deductible.
