Insights

The reported increase in assets under management (AUM) by 17% year over year and the reduction in net outflows from US htmlspecialchars(json_encode($0.7)) billion in 2023 compared to US htmlspecialchars(json_encode($30.8)) billion in 2022 are positive indicators of the company's financial health and investor confidence. The 9% quarter over quarter AUM growth, coupled with a strong balance sheet and over US$1.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents, suggests robust cash flow management and a solid liquidity position. The declaration of a quarterly dividend of US htmlspecialchars(json_encode($0.39)) per share and the return of US htmlspecialchars(json_encode($321)) million in capital through dividends and share buybacks reflect a shareholder-friendly capital allocation policy.

However, the presence of net outflows, even though reduced, indicates potential challenges in retaining and attracting capital, which could be a concern for long-term growth. The investment performance data, with 60% to 71% of AUM outperforming relevant benchmarks over various time frames, provides evidence of strong fund management capabilities, which could be a key factor in future investor decisions. These results may positively influence the stock's attractiveness to investors looking for companies with strong financial performance and prudent capital management strategies.

The financial results of Janus Henderson Group plc highlight several market trends and investor behaviors. The increase in AUM and improved net flows suggest a recovering investment climate, possibly reflecting greater investor confidence or a shift in market dynamics. The company's focus on cost management and strategic reinvestment indicates a response to industry headwinds, such as fee compression and the demand for innovative investment products.

Furthermore, the diversified AUM across equities, fixed income, multi-asset and alternatives, with varying degrees of outperformance, suggests that Janus Henderson is catering to a wide range of investor preferences and risk profiles. This diversification is particularly relevant in an uncertain geopolitical and economic environment, as it allows the company to hedge against market volatility and cater to the stability-seeking behavior of investors. The emphasis on a 'fortress balance sheet' and disciplined investment processes may resonate with stakeholders looking for resilience in their investment choices during uncertain times.

The reported financial results can be seen as a microcosm of the broader economic landscape. The 17% year-over-year growth in AUM is indicative of an economy where investors are actively seeking growth opportunities, potentially capitalizing on market corrections or expansions. The reduction in net outflows suggests an improved investor sentiment, which could be a result of macroeconomic factors such as easing monetary policies, fiscal stimulus, or stabilization in geopolitical tensions.

The strong cash generation and disciplined cost management reported by Janus Henderson may reflect broader economic trends of companies optimizing operations for efficiency in a potentially inflationary or economically uncertain environment. The company's strategic positioning and focus on growth despite industry headwinds align with the notion that firms are adapting to a rapidly changing economic landscape, with an emphasis on agility and proactive management.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE: JHG; “JHG” or the “Company”) published its fourth quarter and full-year 2023 results for the period ended December 31, 2023. Fourth quarter 2023 operating income was US$143.7 million compared to US$121.7 million in the third quarter 2023 and US$67.8 million in the fourth quarter 2022. Adjusted operating income, adjusted for one-time, acquisition and transaction related costs, was US$156.2 million in the fourth quarter 2023 compared to US$125.4 million in the third quarter 2023 and US$123.2 million in the fourth quarter 2022.

Fourth quarter 2023 diluted earnings per share of US$0.74 compared to US$0.56 in the third quarter 2023 and US$0.39 in the fourth quarter 2022. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of US$0.82 in the fourth quarter 2023 compared to US$0.64 in the third quarter 2023 and compared to US$0.61 in the fourth quarter 2022.

Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"The year ended strongly with fourth quarter results that delivered year-over-year improvement in net flows, a stable management fee rate, solid core revenues, continued cost management, growth in operating income and EPS, and an AUM tailwind entering 2024.

"The tremendous amount of work that began in 2022 to reposition Janus Henderson for greater success is paying off, as evidenced in our 2023 results. During 2023, we executed on our strategy, implemented cost efficiencies to facilitate strategic reinvestment in the business, simplified our operating model, and reinforced our culture through articulating our Mission, Values, and Purpose—all while keeping our clients, and their clients, at the heart of everything we do.

"The current environment remains uncertain, geopolitical tensions are heightened, and we continue to face industry headwinds. Throughout, our focus remains the same—we will control what we can control and position Janus Henderson for growth. We have a fortress balance sheet, strong cash generation, disciplined investment teams and processes, and efficient cost management.

"As we enter 2024, and mark Janus Henderson’s 90th anniversary of providing a world-class investment experience, we are encouraged by many signs of clear progress, which we believe has us squarely on the path to achieving our ambitions of organic growth and delivering superior outcomes for our clients, their clients, colleagues, 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. Performance across all time periods excludes Intech, the sale of which was completed March 31, 2022. 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 December 31, 2023, 51%, 50%, 53%, and 64% of the 182, 173, 164, and 151 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.

ETFs and funds not ranked by Morningstar are excluded from the analysis. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson. © 2023 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

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.

2

Adjustments include rent expense, rent income, other rent-related adjustments associated with subleased office space, and the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense related to the departure of certain employees. Adjustments for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, also include a US$9.3 million charge related to a separately managed account trade error. Adjustments for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, also include redundancy payments associated with the reduction in force. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

3

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. Adjustments for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, also include impairment charges of certain mutual fund investment management contracts, client relationships and trademarks. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

4

Adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2023, include a provision for a credit loss and a contingent consideration fair value adjustment related to the 2022 sale of Intech, a correction due to an error of previously recognized earnings associated with an equity method investment and accumulated foreign currency translation expense related to JHG liquidated entities. Adjustments for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily consist of accumulated foreign currency translation expense related to JHG liquidated entities. The adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2023, consists of a provision for a credit loss and a contingent consideration fair value adjustment related to the 2022 sale of Intech. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

5

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. In addition, adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2023, were impacted by the change to our state tax rate. As a result, the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities were revalued from 23.9% to 23.5%, creating a non-cash deferred tax benefit of US$8.8 million.

In the opinion of management of Janus Henderson Group plc, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of JHG in accordance with GAAP.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes presented in Janus Henderson’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC (Commission File No. 001‑38103). Events subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for inclusion in the financial statements through the issuance date and are included in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
