  • Economic EPS increased 17% year-over-year to $10.06 in H1 2024
  • Positive net client cash flows in Q2 2024
  • Strong private markets fundraising performance
  • AUM increased to $701.0 billion as of June 30, 2024
  • Repurchased $477 million in common stock during H1 2024
  • Board increased share repurchase authorization
Negative
  • Net income (controlling interest) decreased from $259.8 million in H1 2023 to $225.8 million in H1 2024
  • Diluted EPS decreased from $6.74 in H1 2023 to $6.49 in H1 2024

Insights

AMG's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture with some positive indicators and areas of concern. The company reported $4.67 Economic Earnings per share for Q2 and $10.06 for H1 2024, representing a 17% year-over-year increase. This growth is commendable, especially in the current market environment.

Key positives include:

  • Positive net client cash flows in Q2, driven by strength in private markets fundraising
  • Continued business momentum in alternative strategies
  • Robust share repurchase program, with $327 million in Q2 and $477 million in H1

However, there are some concerning aspects:

  • GAAP EPS decreased from $3.25 in Q2 2023 to $2.26 in Q2 2024
  • Net income (controlling interest) fell from $125.3 million to $76.0 million year-over-year for Q2

The divergence between GAAP and Economic earnings is notable and warrants further investigation. While the company's focus on alternative strategies and private markets appears to be paying off, the decline in GAAP earnings could be a red flag for some investors. The substantial share repurchases may be supporting EPS growth, but it's important to monitor whether this is sustainable in the long term.

Overall, AMG's strategic shift towards areas of secular demand and its capital allocation strategy seem to be yielding results, but investors should keep a close eye on the underlying GAAP performance in the coming quarters.

AMG's Q2 2024 results reflect the evolving landscape of the asset management industry. The company's focus on alternative strategies and private markets is a shrewd move, aligning with broader industry trends. This strategic positioning has contributed to positive net client cash flows in Q2, bucking the trend of outflows seen in many traditional asset managers.

Key market insights:

  • The shift towards alternative investments continues, with AMG benefiting from increased demand in private markets and liquid alternatives
  • AMG's AUM growth to $701.0 billion indicates resilience in a challenging market environment
  • The company's ability to generate positive cash flows suggests strong client confidence and product relevance

However, it's important to note that the asset management industry remains highly competitive and subject to market volatility. AMG's strategy of investing in areas of secular demand is sound, but execution will be crucial. The company's emphasis on capital allocation, including investments in new and existing Affiliates, as well as seed capital, demonstrates a proactive approach to growth.

Looking ahead, AMG's differentiated business profile, with a significant contribution from alternative strategies, could provide a competitive edge. However, investors should monitor how this translates into sustained GAAP earnings growth and long-term shareholder value creation. The market will likely focus on AMG's ability to continue attracting and retaining assets in high-growth areas while managing costs and maintaining profitability.

Jay C. Horgen, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMG, said:
“AMG reported Economic Earnings per share of $4.67 and $10.06 in the second quarter and the first half, respectively, reflecting our ongoing business momentum. Our results continue to be driven by strength in private markets fundraising, our Affiliates’ long-term track records of investment performance, and the positive impact of our capital allocation strategy.

“AMG's focus on investing in areas of secular demand has enhanced the long-term growth prospects of our business and positions us to capitalize on the current market environment. With alternative strategies across private markets and liquid alternatives meaningfully contributing to AMG’s earnings, our business profile is differentiated in our industry. Looking ahead, we see increasing opportunities to invest for growth, in both new and existing Affiliates, to further evolve our business toward these areas.

“Disciplined capital allocation is fundamental to our strategy, and by deploying our capital to the areas of highest growth and return, we can create meaningful incremental value over time. Over the past five years, we have allocated approximately $4.5 billion across investments in new and existing Affiliates, including seed capital, and share repurchases. Given our competitive advantages, unique opportunity set, and strong capital position, we are confident in our ability to generate differentiated performance in the forward environment.”

Notes

(1)Earnings per share (diluted) adjusts for the dilutive effect of the potential issuance of incremental shares of our common stock.

We assume the settlement of all of our Redeemable non-controlling interests using the maximum number of shares permitted under our arrangements. The issuance of shares and the related income acquired are excluded from the calculation if an assumed purchase of Redeemable non-controlling interests would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.

We are required to apply the if-converted method to our outstanding junior convertible securities when calculating Earnings per share (diluted). Under the if-converted method, shares that are issuable upon conversion are deemed outstanding, regardless of whether the securities are contractually convertible into our common stock at that time. For this calculation, the interest expense (net of tax) attributable to these dilutive securities is added back to Net income (controlling interest), reflecting the assumption that the securities have been converted. Issuable shares for these securities and related interest expense are excluded from the calculation if an assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

(2)As supplemental information, we provide non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest), Economic net income (controlling interest), and Economic earnings per share. We believe that many investors use our Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) when comparing our financial performance to other companies in the investment management industry. Management utilizes these non-GAAP performance measures to assess our performance before our share of certain non-cash GAAP expenses primarily related to the acquisition of interests in Affiliates and to improve comparability between periods. Economic net income (controlling interest) and Economic earnings per share are used by management and our Board of Directors as our principal performance benchmarks, including as one of the measures for determining executive compensation. These non-GAAP performance measures are provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Net income (controlling interest), Earnings per share, or other GAAP performance measures. For additional information on our non-GAAP measures, see our most recent Annual and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q, respectively, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) represents our performance before our share of interest expense, income and certain non-income based taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments, gains and losses related to Affiliate Transactions, and non-cash items such as certain Affiliate equity activity, gains and losses on our contingent payment obligations, and unrealized gains and losses on seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments. Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) is also adjusted to include realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments.

Under our Economic net income (controlling interest) definition, we adjust Net income (controlling interest) for our share of pre-tax intangible amortization and impairments related to intangible assets (including the portion attributable to equity method investments in Affiliates) because these expenses do not correspond to the changes in the value of these assets, which do not diminish predictably over time. We also adjust for deferred taxes attributable to intangible assets because we believe it is unlikely these accruals will be used to settle material tax obligations. Further, we adjust for gains and losses related to Affiliate Transactions, net of tax, and other economic items. Other economic items include certain Affiliate equity activity, gains and losses related to contingent payment obligations, tax windfalls and shortfalls from share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses on seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments, and realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments.

Economic earnings per share represents Economic net income (controlling interest) divided by the Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted). In this calculation, we exclude the potential shares issued upon settlement of Redeemable non-controlling interests from Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted) because we intend to settle those obligations without issuing shares, consistent with all prior Affiliate equity purchase transactions. The potential share issuance in connection with our junior convertible securities is measured using a “treasury stock” method. Under this method, only the net number of shares of common stock equal to the value of the junior convertible securities in excess of par, if any, are deemed to be outstanding. We believe the inclusion of net shares under a treasury stock method best reflects the benefit of the increase in available capital resources (which could be used to repurchase shares of our common stock) that occurs when these securities are converted and we are relieved of our debt obligation.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted):
