Baltimore, Maryland - July 27, 2016 - Legg Mason, Inc. (NYSE: LM) today reported its operating results for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016. The Company reported net income1 of $33.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $45.3 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the previous quarter, and net income of $94.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The current quarter's results included acquisition and transition-related costs of $56.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. The prior quarter included acquisition and transition-related costs of $49.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, and a compensation charge related to the Royce management equity plan ("MEP") grant of $21.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.

The prior quarter included a tax charge of $55.9 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, which reflected the reversal of the fiscal third quarter credit related to impairment charges and other tax rate annualization impacts. The prior year's first quarter included a tax benefit of $18.0 million, or $0.16 per share. For the current quarter, operating revenues were $700.2 million, up 13% from $619.5 million in the prior quarter, and down 1% compared to $708.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

News Release
Comments on the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2017 Results
Joseph A. Sullivan, Chairman and CEO of Legg Mason said, “Legg Mason delivered a solid quarter despite a challenging period of geopolitical uncertainty, persistently low interest rates, fee compression and equity market volatility that has continued to pressure active managers. The Company saw strong inflows in fixed income for the quarter, but they were more than offset by outflows from active equity and alternative products, consistent with industry trends. On the strategic front, we continued to move forward, closing the acquisition of Clarion Partners and the combination of EnTrustPermal during the period, while also announcing an agreement to acquire Financial Guard, a digital wealth manager that aggregates accounts, and evaluates and recommends active and passive funds. Over time, we expect that Financial Guard will become a key component of our value proposition to our distribution partners.
"More generally, we remain very pleased with our strategic progress and maintain conviction in our long term plan to provide global investors with expanding choice in terms of investment strategies, products, vehicles and distribution options. Expanded choice has already diversified Legg Mason’s overall business which, when combined with our strong performance in returning capital to shareholders, we believe will materially enhance Legg Mason's enterprise value over the long run."
Assets Under Management of $741.9 Billion
Assets Under Management ("AUM") were $741.9 billion at June 30, 2016 compared with $669.6 billion at March 31, 2016, driven by $51.1 billion from the Clarion Partners and EnTrust Capital acquisitions, positive market performance of $12.3 billion, liquidity inflows of $8.0 billion and $2.0 billion in positive foreign exchange. This was partially offset by long-term outflows of $1.1 billion. AUM was up 6% from $699.2 billion at June 30, 2015.
• | Long-term net outflows of $1.1 billion included equity outflows of $3.0 billion and alternative outflows of $2.0 billion, which were partially offset by fixed income inflows of $3.9 billion. |
• | At June 30, 2016, fixed income represented 52% of AUM, while equity represented 22%, liquidity represented 16% and alternatives represented 10%. |
• | By geography, 65% of AUM was from clients domiciled in the United States and 35% from non-US domiciled clients. |
• | Average AUM during the quarter was $709.1 billion compared to $662.3 billion in the prior quarter and $703.9 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. Average long-term AUM was $597.7 billion compared to $547.6 billion in the prior quarter and $575.6 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. |
Comparison to the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2016
Net income was $33.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, as compared with a net loss of $45.3 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. This quarter's results included acquisition and transition-related costs totaling $56.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, including a compensation charge related to the Clarion MEP of $15.2 million. The prior quarter included acquisition and transition-related costs and the Royce MEP, charge totaling $70.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. In addition the prior quarter's results included a $55.9 million, or $0.53 per diluted share tax charge, which reflect tax rate annualization impacts.
• | Operating revenues of $700.2 million were up 13% from $619.5 million in the prior quarter, principally due to incremental revenues related to the addition of a partial quarter of revenues of Clarion and EnTrust and included $14.6 million in performance fees at Clarion that, per the terms of the acquisition, were passed through as compensation. |
• | Operating expenses of $626.6 million were up 7% compared with $585.6 million in the prior quarter principally due to incremental expenses related to the addition of a partial quarter of expenses for Clarion and EnTrust. The current quarter included acquisition and transition-related costs of $56.8 million while the prior quarter included acquisition and transition-related costs of $49.1 million and a $21.4 million charge related to the Royce MEP. The current quarter also included a credit of $18.0 million for a contingent consideration fair value adjustment compared to a similar credit of $7.0 million in the prior quarter. Further, the current quarter included $14.6 million in compensation related to the pass through of |

performance fees at Clarion. In addition, current quarter expenses included a $2.2 million gain in the market value of deferred compensation and seed investments, which is recorded as a decrease in compensation and benefits with an offset in other non-operating income, compared to a gain of $0.3 million in the prior quarter.
• | Other non-operating expense was $12.9 million, as compared to $27.5 million in the prior quarter. Interest expense increased by $9.3 million primarily due to debt raised in March of this year in connection with the Clarion and EnTrust acquisitions. Gains on corporate investments, not offset in compensation, were $4.2 million compared with losses of $4.8 million last quarter. Both quarters included gains and losses on funded deferred compensation and seed investments, as described above. In addition, the current quarter included $3.5 million in gains associated with the consolidation of sponsored investment vehicles compared to $9.5 million of losses in the prior quarter. The consolidation of sponsored investment vehicles has no impact on net income as the effects of consolidation are fully attributable to noncontrolling interests. |
• | Operating margin was 10.5% compared to 5.5% in the prior quarter. Operating margin, as adjusted2, was 11.3%, as compared to 5.9% in the prior quarter with the increase due to the absence of the Royce MEP charge that occurred in the prior quarter. |
• | Net income attributable to non-controlling interests, excluding sponsored investment vehicles, were $9.4 million principally related to Clarion, EnTrustPermal, RARE Infrastructure and Royce, compared to $1.6 million in the prior quarter. |
Comparison to the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2016
Net income was $33.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $94.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. This quarter's results included acquisition and transition-related costs totaling $56.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, including a compensation charge related to the Clarion MEP of $15.2 million. The prior year's first quarter included a tax benefit of $18.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, primarily due to changes in the New York City tax code.
• | Operating revenues of $700.2 million were down 1% compared with $708.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, driven by AUM mix, despite the incremental revenues related to the addition of Clarion and EnTrust. |
• | Operating expenses of $626.6 million were up 7% compared with $584.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 primarily due to acquisition and transition-related costs of $56.8 million. The current quarter also included a credit of $18.0 million for a contingent consideration fair value adjustment. Further, the current quarter expenses included a $2.2 million gain in the market value of deferred compensation and seed investments, which is recorded as a decrease in compensation and benefits with an offset in other non-operating income, compared to a gain of $1.2 million in the prior year quarter. |
• | Other non-operating expense was $12.9 million, compared to $4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. Interest expense increased $12.6 million related to debt raised to pay for the Clarion and EnTrust acquisitions. Gains on corporate investments, not offset in compensation, were $4.2 million compared with gains of $4.5 million in the prior year quarter. Both quarters included gains on funded deferred compensation and seed investments, as described above. In addition, the current quarter also included $3.5 million in gains associated with the consolidation of sponsored investment vehicles, as compared to $0.4 million in gains in the prior year quarter. The consolidation of sponsored investment vehicles has no impact on net income as the effects of consolidation are fully attributable to noncontrolling interests. |
• | Operating margin was 10.5% as compared to 17.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. Operating margin, as adjusted, was 11.3%, as compared to 22.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The decrease was principally the result of acquisition and transition-related costs in the current quarter. |
• | Net income attributable to non-controlling interests, excluding sponsored investment vehicles, were $9.4 million principally related to Clarion, EnTrustPermal, RARE and Royce, compared to $0.1 million in the prior year quarter. |

Supplemental Data Regarding Quarterly Performance
Strategy Performance
For purposes of investment performance comparisons, strategies are an aggregation of discretionary portfolios (separate accounts, investment funds, and other products) into a single group that represents a particular investment objective. In the case of separate accounts, the investment performance of the account is based upon the performance of the strategy to which the account has been assigned. Each of our asset managers has its own specific guidelines for including portfolios in their strategies. For those managers which manage both separate accounts and investment funds in the same strategy, the performance comparison for all of the assets is based upon the performance of the separate account.
Approximately eighty-eight percent of total AUM is included in strategy AUM as of June 30, 2016, although not all strategies have three-, five-, and ten-year histories. Total strategy AUM includes liquidity assets. Certain assets are not included in reported performance comparisons. These include: accounts that are not managed in accordance with the guidelines outlined above; accounts in strategies not marketed to potential clients; accounts that have not yet been assigned to a strategy; and certain smaller products at some of our affiliates.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. For AUM included in institutional and retail separate accounts and investment funds managed in the same strategy as separate accounts, performance comparisons are based on gross-of-fee performance. For investment funds (including fund-of-hedge funds) which are not managed in a separate account format, performance comparisons are based on net-of-fee performance. These performance comparisons do not reflect the actual performance of any specific separate account or investment fund; individual separate account and investment fund performance may differ. The information in this table is provided solely for use in connection with this table, and is not directed toward existing or potential clients of Legg Mason.
Long-term US Fund Assets Beating Lipper Category Average
Long-term US fund assets include open-end, closed-end, and variable annuity funds. These performance comparisons do not reflect the actual performance of any specific fund; individual fund performance may differ. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Source: Lipper Inc.

News Release
Use of Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information
As supplemental information, we are providing a performance measure that is based on a methodology other than generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") for "Operating Margin, as Adjusted" that management uses as a benchmark in evaluating and comparing our period-to-period operating performance.
Operating Margin, as Adjusted
We calculate “Operating Margin, as Adjusted,” by dividing (i) Operating Income (Loss), adjusted to exclude the impact on compensation expense of gains or losses on investments made to fund deferred compensation plans, the impact on compensation expense of gains or losses on seed capital investments by our affiliates under revenue sharing agreements, amortization related to intangible assets, income (loss) of consolidated investment vehicles, the impact of fair value adjustments of contingent consideration liabilities, if any, and impairment charges by (ii) our operating revenues, adjusted to add back net investment advisory fees eliminated upon consolidation of investment vehicles, less distribution and servicing expenses which we use as an approximate measure of revenues that are passed through to third parties, and less performance fees that are passed through as compensation expenses or net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, which we refer to as “Operating Revenues, as Adjusted”. The compensation items are removed from Operating Income (Loss) in the calculation because they are offset by an equal amount in Other non-operating income (expense), and thus have no impact on Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Legg Mason, Inc. We adjust for the impact of amortization of management contract assets and the impact of fair value adjustments of contingent consideration liabilities, if any, which arise from acquisitions to reflect the fact that these items distort comparison of our operating results with results of other asset management firms that have not engaged in significant acquisitions. Impairment charges and income (loss) of consolidated investment vehicles are removed from Operating Income (Loss) in the calculation because these items are not reflective of our core asset management operations. We use Operating Revenues, as Adjusted in the calculation to show the operating margin without distribution and servicing expenses, which we use to approximate our distribution revenues that are passed through to third parties as a direct cost of selling our products, although distribution and servicing expenses may include commissions paid in connection with the launching of closed-end funds for which there is no corresponding revenue in the period. We also use Operating Revenues, as Adjusted in the calculation to show the operating margin without performance fees, which are passed through as compensation expense or net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests per the terms of certain more recent acquisitions. Operating Revenues as adjusted also include our advisory revenues we receive from consolidated investment vehicles that are eliminated in consolidation under GAAP.
We believe that Operating Margin, as Adjusted, is a useful measure of our performance because it provides a measure of our core business activities. It excludes items that have no impact on Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Legg Mason, Inc. and indicates what our operating margin would have been without the distribution revenues that are passed through to third parties as a direct cost of selling our products, performance fees that are passed through as compensation expense or net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests per the terms of certain more recent acquisitions, amortization related to intangible assets, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, if any, impairment charges, and the impact of the consolidation of certain investment vehicles described above. The consolidation of these investment vehicles does not have an impact on Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Legg Mason, Inc. This measure is provided in addition to our operating margin calculated under GAAP, but is not a substitute for calculations of margins under GAAP and may not be comparable to non-GAAP performance measures, including measures of adjusted margins of other companies.
