  • AUM grew 13% YoY to US$378.7 billion

Insights

The Q4 2024 results reveal a compelling transformation at Janus Henderson, marked by three key achievements. First, the company successfully reversed its flow trajectory, converting US$(0.7)B in 2023 outflows to US$2.4B in 2024 inflows - a particularly notable feat in a challenging market for active managers. This improvement in organic growth directly enhanced revenue quality.

Operating performance showed remarkable strength, with adjusted operating margin expanding to 36.1% in Q4 2024 from 34.3% YoY, driven by higher revenue and disciplined cost management. The 30% YoY increase in adjusted EPS to US$1.07 demonstrates strong operational leverage.

Strategic initiatives are reshaping the business model through targeted acquisitions. The additions of NBK Capital Partners and Victory Park Capital expand private market capabilities - a high-margin, growing segment less correlated with traditional markets. Tabula provides entry into European ETFs, positioning JHG in the fastest-growing segment of the industry.

Capital allocation remains shareholder-friendly while maintaining strategic flexibility. The company returned US$458M to shareholders in 2024 through dividends and buybacks while maintaining US$1.2B in cash for potential opportunities. The 13% AUM growth to US$378.7B reflects both market appreciation and successful execution of the organic growth strategy.

Investment performance metrics are particularly strong in fixed income (91% outperformance over 1-year) and multi-asset strategies (93%), though equities show room for improvement at 50%. This performance diversity should help maintain positive flows across market cycles.

  • Solid investment performance, with 65%, 72%, 55%, and 73% of assets under management (“AUM”) outperforming relevant benchmarks on a one-, three-, five-, and 10-year basis, respectively, as of December 31, 2024
  • AUM increased 13% year over year to US$378.7 billion as of December 31, 2024
  • Fourth quarter 2024 net inflows of US$3.3 billion, resulting in US$2.4 billion of net inflows in 2024 compared to US$(0.7) billion of net outflows in 2023
  • Fourth quarter 2024 diluted EPS of US$0.77 includes a US$42.6 million non-cash, non-operating, accounting expense release. Adjusted diluted EPS of US$1.07 is an increase of 30% year over year and 18% quarter over quarter
  • Strong balance sheet and cash generation, with approximately US$1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents and US$695 million of cash provided from operating activities in 2024
  • Board of Directors ("Board") declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.39 per share; returned US$458 million in capital through dividends and share buybacks in 2024

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE: JHG; “JHG," "Janus Henderson,” or the “Company”) published its fourth quarter and full-year 2024 results for the period ended December 31, 2024. Fourth quarter 2024 operating income was US$197.5 million compared to US$164.7 million in the third quarter 2024 and US$143.7 million in the fourth quarter 2023. Adjusted operating income, adjusted for one-time, acquisition and transaction related costs, was US$204.7 million in the fourth quarter 2024 compared to US$170.5 million in the third quarter 2024 and US$156.2 million in the fourth quarter 2023.

Fourth quarter 2024 diluted earnings per share of US$0.77 compared to US$0.17 in the third quarter 2024 and US$0.74 in the fourth quarter 2023. Fourth quarter and third quarter 2024 diluted earnings per share were impacted by US$42.6 million and US$111.9 million, respectively, in non-cash, non-operating, accounting expense releases of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments related to JHG entities liquidated during the quarters. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of US$1.07 in the fourth quarter 2024 compared to US$0.91 in the third quarter 2024 and compared to US$0.82 in the fourth quarter 2023.

Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"We ended 2024 with solid fourth quarter results, delivering improvements in net flows, operating revenues, operating income, and EPS. We demonstrated in 2024 many signs of continued, clear progress across the business. We are encouraged by the US$2.4 billion in net inflows in 2024, which led to net new revenue generation in the second half of the year. Our teams have worked together to execute our strategy to Protect & Grow, Amplify, and Diversify our business, which is delivering growth across channels and regions. With the acquisitions of NBK Capital Partners, Victory Park Capital, and Tabula, we have expanded into differentiated private market capabilities and gained early access to the rapidly growing active ETF market in Europe. These acquisitions as well as investments in our brand, technology, and high-quality, talented people, underscore our unwavering commitment to deliver for our clients. Our strong cash flow generation and healthy balance sheet continue to provide us the flexibility to invest in the business—both organically and inorganically—as well as return cash to shareholders.

"As we enter 2025, our ongoing strategic efforts and execution are clearly starting to manifest in our results, and while we believe we are squarely on the path to deliver organic revenue growth consistently, we are not yet at our destination. There are still several strategic ambitions across the business that we believe can contribute to future sustainable growth."

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, legacy Tabula passive ETFs, Fixed Income Buy & Maintain mandates, legacy NBK Capital Partners and Victory Park Capital funds, Managed CDOs, Private Equity funds, and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Excluded assets represent 4% of AUM. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson.

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, 2024, 59%, 57%, 57%, and 61% of the 188, 175, 162, and 144 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 H 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 and year ended December 31, 2024, and the three months ended September 30, 2024, 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 and year ended December 31, 2024, and the three months ended September 30, 2024, include acquisition related expenses and the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense and redundancy expense related to the departure of certain employees. Adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2024, also include a US$4.7 million insurance reimbursement related to a separately managed account trade error that occurred in 2023. Adjustments for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, include rent expense, rent income and other rent-related adjustments associated with subleased office space, the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense and redundancy expense related to the departure of certain employees, and a US$9.3 million charge related to a separately managed account trade error. 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 and year ended December 31, 2024, and the three months ended September 30, 2024, employee compensation and benefits 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.

4

 

Adjustments for all periods presented consist primarily of the release of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments related to JHG liquidated entities. Adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2023, also include a provision for a credit loss and a contingent consideration fair value adjustment related to the 2022 sale of Intech, and a correction due to an error of previously recognized earnings associated with an equity method investment. 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. 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.

6

 

Adjustments for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, include the noncontrolling interest on amortization of acquisition related intangible assets. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

Basis of preparation

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. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10‑Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. 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, 2023, 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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS DISCLAIMER

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal and fluctuation of value.

Certain statements in this press release not based on historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those discussed. These include statements as to our future expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, events, conditions, financial performance, prospects, or future events, including with respect to the timing and anticipated benefits of pending and recently completed transactions and expectations regarding acquisition opportunities. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” and similar words and phrases. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made and are not guarantees of future performance. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements.

Various risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this press release include, but are not limited to, risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in other filings or furnishings made by the Company with the SEC from time to time.
