Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. | Basis of Presentation |
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Eaton Vance Corp. (“the Company”) include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As a result, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. | New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and creates a single framework. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year that begins on November 1, 2017 and interim periods within that fiscal year and requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures, as well as the available transition methods. Early application is prohibited.
3. | Adoption of New Accounting Standards |
The Company adopted the following accounting standard in fiscal 2014:
Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Effective November 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The guidance provided in the ASU requires an entity to present separately, for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income, the current period reclassification of amounts into net income and identify each line item in the statement of net income that is affected by the reclassification. The adoption of the ASU was effective prospectively and did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

The Company evaluated the gross unrealized losses of $33,000 as of April 30, 2014 and determined that these losses were not other-than-temporary, primarily because the Company has both the ability and intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to recover such losses. The aggregate fair value of investments with unrealized losses was $1.6 million at April 30, 2014. No investment with a gross unrealized loss has been in a loss position for greater than one year.

Valuation methodologies
The Company utilizes third-party pricing services to value investments in various asset classes, including debt obligations, interests in senior floating-rate loans, derivatives and certain foreign equity securities, as further discussed below. Valuations provided by the pricing services are subject to exception reporting that identifies securities with significant movements in valuation, as well as investments with no movements in valuation. These exceptions are reviewed by the Company on a daily basis. The Company compares the price of trades
16 |
executed by the Company to the valuations provided by the third-party pricing services to identify and research significant variances. The Company periodically reviews the pricing service valuations to valuations provided by a secondary independent source when available. Market data provided by the pricing services and other market participants, such as the Loan Syndication and Trading Association (“LSTA”) trade study, are reviewed by the Company to assess the reliability of the pricing service’s valuations. The Company’s Valuation Committee reviews the general assumptions underlying the methodologies used by the pricing services to value various asset classes at least annually. Throughout the year, members of the Company’s Valuation Committee or its designees meet with the service providers to discuss any significant changes to the service providers’ valuation methodologies or operational processes.
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds, holdings of U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit with original maturities of less than three months. Cash investments in actively traded money market funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. U.S. Treasury and government agency securities are valued based upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data. The carrying amounts of commercial paper and certificates of deposit are measured at amortized cost, which approximates market value due to the short time between the purchase and expected maturity of the investments. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these assets are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Investment securities, trading – short-term debt
Short-term debt securities include certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate debt obligations with remaining maturities from three months to 12 months. Short-term debt securities held are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third-party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker-dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these assets are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Investment securities, trading – other debt
Other debt securities classified as trading include debt obligations held in the portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts. Other debt securities held are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third-party pricing services as described above for investment securities, trading – short-term debt. Other debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less (excluding those that are non-U.S. denominated, which typically are valued by a third-party pricing service or dealer quotes) are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Depending upon the nature of the inputs, these assets are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Investment securities, trading – equity
Equity securities classified as trading include foreign and domestic equity securities held in the portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts. Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the portfolios use a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or
17 |
other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. In addition, the Company performs its own independent back test review of fair values versus the subsequent local market opening prices when available. Depending upon the nature of the inputs, equity securities classified as trading are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Investment securities, available-for-sale
Investment securities classified as available-for-sale include investments in sponsored mutual funds and privately offered equity funds. Sponsored mutual funds that are listed on an active exchange are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Investments in sponsored privately offered equity funds and portfolios that are not listed on an active exchange but have net asset values that are comparable to mutual funds and have no redemption restrictions are classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments, which include foreign exchange contracts, stock index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts, are recorded as either other assets or other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign exchange contracts are valued by interpolating a value using the spot foreign exchange rate and forward points, which are based on spot rate and currency interest rate differentials. Stock index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts are valued using a third-party pricing service that determines fair value based on bid and ask prices. Derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Assets of consolidated CLO entities
Assets of consolidated CLO entities include investments in money market funds, equity securities, debt securities, bank loans and warrants. Fair value is determined utilizing unadjusted quoted market prices when available. Investments in actively traded money market funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Equity securities, debt securities and warrants are valued using the same techniques as described above for trading securities. Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mid-point of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third-party pricing service. Fair value may also be based upon valuations obtained from independent third-party brokers or dealers utilizing matrix pricing models that consider information regarding securities with similar characteristics. In certain instances, fair value has been determined utilizing discounted cash flow analyses or single broker non-binding quotes. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these assets are classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Securities sold, not yet purchased
Securities sold, not yet purchased, are recorded as other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and are valued by a third-party pricing service that determines fair value based on bid and ask prices. Securities sold, not yet purchased, are generally classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Liabilities of consolidated CLO entities
Liabilities of consolidated CLO entities include debt securities, senior and subordinated note obligations and redeemable preferred shares. Debt securities are valued based upon quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data. Senior and subordinated notes and redeemable preferred shares are valued utilizing an income approach model in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the market. A full description of the valuation technique is included within the valuation process disclosure included below. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these liabilities are classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

(1) | Substantially all net gains and losses on investments and note obligations and redeemable preferred shares attributable to the assets and borrowings of the Company's consolidated CLO entities are allocated to non-controlling and other beneficial interests on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. |
(2) | Transfers into Level 3 were the result of a reduction in the availability of significant observable inputs used in determining the fair value of the securities, including a loan that utilized a discount applied to the demanded yield. |
The following table shows the valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value measurement of Level 3 liabilities of the consolidated CLO entities at April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

(1) | Discount rate refers to spread over LIBOR. Lower spreads relate to the more senior tranches in the CLO note structure; higher spreads relate to the less senior tranches. The default rate refers to the constant annual default rate. The recovery rate is the expected recovery of defaulted amounts received through asset sale or recovery through bankruptcy restructuring or other settlement processes. The prepayment rate is the rate at which the underlying collateral is expected to repay principal. |
Valuation process
Senior and subordinated note obligations and redeemable preferred shares of the Company’s consolidated CLO entities are issued in various tranches with different risk profiles. The notes and redeemable preferred shares are valued on a quarterly basis by the Company’s bank loan investment team utilizing an income approach that projects the cash flows of the collateral assets using the team’s projected default rate, prepayment rate, recovery rate and discount rate, as well as observable assumptions about market yields, collateral reimbursement assumptions, callability and other market factors that vary based on the nature of the investments in the underlying collateral pool. Once the undiscounted cash flows of the collateral assets have been determined, the bank loan team applies appropriate discount rates that it believes a reasonable market participant would use to determine the discounted cash flow valuation of the notes and redeemable preferred shares. The bank loan team routinely monitors market conditions and model inputs for cyclical and secular changes in order to identify any material factors that could influence the Company’s valuation method. The bank loan team reports directly to the Chief Income Investment Officer.
Sensitivity to changes in significant unobservable inputs
For senior and subordinated notes and redeemable preferred shares issued by the Company’s consolidated CLO entities, increases (decreases) in discount rates, default rates or prepayment rates in isolation would result in lower (higher) fair value measurements, while increases (decreases) in recovery rates in isolation would result in higher (lower) fair value measurements. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for discount rates and a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used for prepayment and recovery rates.
Although the Company believes the valuation methods described above are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value could result in different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.
7. Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges
During the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, the Company reclassified into interest expense $50,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, of deferred gains related to a forward-starting interest rate swap entered into in connection with the offering of its 2023 Senior Notes. At April 30, 2014, the remaining unamortized gain on this transaction was $1.8 million. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $0.2 million of the gain into interest expense.

During the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company reclassified into interest expense $56,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, of deferred losses related to a Treasury lock transaction entered into in connection with the issuance of its 2017 Senior Notes. During the six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company reclassified into interest expense $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of deferred losses on this Treasury lock. At April 30, 2014, the remaining unamortized loss on this transaction was $0.8 million. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $0.2 million of the loss into interest expense.
Other derivative financial instruments not designated for hedge accounting
The Company has entered into a series of foreign exchange contracts, stock index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts to hedge currency risk exposure and market risk associated with its investments in separately managed accounts and consolidated sponsored funds seeded for new product development purposes. Certain of these consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts may utilize derivative financial instruments within their portfolios in pursuit of their stated investment objectives.
At April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, excluding derivative financial instruments held in certain consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts, the Company had 49 and 42 foreign exchange contracts outstanding with five counterparties with an aggregate notional value of $20.6 million and $59.1 million, respectively; 1,951 and 2,711 stock index futures contracts outstanding with one counterparty with an aggregate notional value of $139.7 million and $200.7 million, respectively; and 401 and 217 commodity futures contracts outstanding with one counterparty with an aggregate notional value of $25.1 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The number of derivative contracts outstanding and the notional values they represent at April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013 are indicative of derivative balances throughout each respective period.
The following tables present the fair value of derivative financial instruments, excluding derivative financial instruments held in certain consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts, not designated as hedging instruments as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

8. Fair Value Measurements of Other Financial Instruments
Certain financial instruments are not carried at fair value, but their fair value is required to be disclosed. The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these financial instruments at April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

Included in investments, other, at April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013 is a non-controlling capital interest in Atlanta Capital Management Holdings, LLC (“ACM Holdings”) carried at $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The carrying value of this investment approximates fair value. Fair value of the investment is determined using a cash flow model that projects future cash flows based upon contractual obligations, to which the Company then applies an appropriate discount rate. The fair value of this investment falls within Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Included in other assets at April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013 is a five-year option to acquire an additional 26 percent interest in Hexavest carried at $7.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively. The carrying value of this option approximates fair value. The fair value of this option is determined using a Monte Carlo model, which simulates potential future market multiples of earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) and compares this to the contractually fixed multiple of Hexavest’s EBIT at which the option can be exercised. The Monte Carlo model uses this array of simulated multiples and their difference from the contractual multiple times the projected EBIT for Hexavest to estimate the future exercise value of the option, which is then adjusted to present value. The fair value of this investment falls within Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy.
The fair value of the Company’s debt has been determined based on quoted prices in inactive markets and falls within Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Fair value measurements of other financial instruments of consolidated CLO entities
The Company did not elect the fair value option for the warehouse stage liabilities of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 upon initial consolidation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, but did irrevocably elect the fair value option for the senior and subordinated note obligations and redeemable preferred shares that the entity issued at closing on November 13, 2013. The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the warehouse stage liabilities at October 31, 2013:
October 31, 2013 | ||||||||||||
(in thousands) | Carrying Value | Fair Value | Fair Value Level | |||||||||
Line of credit | $ | 247,789 | $ | 247,789 | 2 | |||||||
Redeemable preferred shares | $ | 64,952 | $ | 64,952 | 3 |
The line of credit was a non-recourse revolving facility that was used to fund purchases of portfolio investments in floating-rate bank loans during the warehouse phase of the entity. Interest on the line of credit was calculated at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus a basis point spread. The LIBOR rate is considered a Level 2 observable input and the line of credit was classified within Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. Carrying value approximated fair value at October 31, 2013.
The redeemable preferred shares represent mandatorily redeemable first loss obligations of the entity and were classified within Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. At October 31, 2013, the redeemable preferred shares were carried at an estimated redemption value of $64.9 million, which approximated fair value.
9. Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)
Investments in VIEs that are consolidated
Sponsored funds
The Company invests in investment companies that meet the definition of a VIE. Disclosure regarding such consolidated sponsored funds is included in Note 4. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may elect to contractually waive investment advisory fees that it is entitled to receive from sponsored funds. Such waivers are disclosed in Note 20.
Consolidated CLO entities
The Company deems itself to be the primary beneficiary of two non-recourse CLO entities, Eaton Vance CLO IX and Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1. In developing its conclusion that it is the primary beneficiary of Eaton Vance CLO IX, the Company determined that it has a more than insignificant variable interest in the entity by virtue of its 8 percent residual interest and the presence of an incentive collateral management fee, which combined expose the Company to a more than insignificant amount of the entity’s variability relative to its anticipated economic performance. In developing its conclusion that it is the primary beneficiary of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1, the Company determined that it has a more than insignificant variable interest in the entity by virtue of its 20 percent residual interest in the entity. In addition, in its role as collateral manager of both entities, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities. In each case, the Company’s variable interests represent an obligation to absorb losses of or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. In consideration of these factors, the Company concluded that it was the primary beneficiary of these two CLO entities for consolidation accounting purposes.
24 |
The significance of the Company’s variable interests in these entities is greater than the significance of the Company’s investments in non-consolidated CLO entities in which the Company also holds variable interests and serves as collateral manager.
The assets of consolidated CLO entities are held solely as collateral to satisfy the obligations of the entities. The Company has no right to the benefits from, nor does the Company bear the risks associated with, the assets held by these CLO entities beyond the Company’s beneficial interest therein and management fees generated from the entities. The note holders and other creditors of the CLO entities have no recourse to the Company’s general assets. There are neither explicit arrangements nor does the Company hold implicit variable interests that would require the Company to provide any ongoing financial support to the entities.
Interest income and expense are recorded on an accrual basis and reported as gains and other investment income, net, and as interest expense in interest and other expense, respectively, of the consolidated CLO entities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013. Substantially all ongoing gains (losses) related to the consolidated CLO entities’ bank loans, other investments and note obligations and redeemable preferred shares recorded in earnings for the periods presented are attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit considerations.
Eaton Vance CLO IX
The Company irrevocably elected the fair value option for all financial assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance CLO IX upon its initial consolidation on November 1, 2010. The Company elected the fair value option to mitigate any accounting mismatches between the carrying value of the senior and subordinated note obligations of Eaton Vance CLO IX and the carrying value of the assets that are held to provide the cash flows supporting those note obligations. Unrealized gains and losses on assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in gains and other investment income, net, of the consolidated CLO entities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Although the subordinated note obligations of Eaton Vance CLO IX have certain equity characteristics, the Company has determined that the subordinated notes should be recorded as liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following tables present, as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the fair value of Eaton Vance CLO IX’s assets and liabilities that are subject to fair value accounting:

Changes in the fair values of Eaton Vance CLO IX’s bank loans and other investments resulted in net losses of $0.7 million and net gains of $2.0 million during the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, while changes in the fair value of Eaton Vance CLO IX’s note obligations resulted in net losses of $0.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The combined net losses of $1.0 million and net gains of $0.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were recorded as gains and other investment income, net, of consolidated CLO entities in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for those periods.
Changes in the fair values of Eaton Vance CLO IX’s bank loans and other investments resulted in net losses of $0.2 million and net gains of $2.5 million during the six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, while changes in the fair value of Eaton Vance CLO IX’s note obligations resulted in net losses of $1.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The combined net losses of $1.5 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were recorded as gains and other investment income, net, of consolidated CLO entities in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for those periods.
Eaton Vance CLO IX has note obligations that bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread, which ranges from 0.21 percent to 1.50 percent. The principal amounts outstanding of the note obligations issued by Eaton Vance CLO IX mature on April 20, 2019. It is expected that prepayments received will be used to pay down the entity’s note obligations. During the six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, $63.8 million and $83.7 million, respectively, of prepayments were used to pay down the entity’s note obligations. The holders of a majority of the subordinated notes have the option to liquidate Eaton Vance CLO IX, provided there is sufficient value to repay the senior notes in full.
For the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a net loss of $0.7 million and net income of $1.2 million, respectively, related to Eaton Vance CLO IX. The Company recorded net losses attributable to other beneficial interests of $1.6 million and net income attributable to other beneficial interests of $0.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders was $0.9 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
For the six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded net losses of $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, related to Eaton Vance CLO IX. The Company recorded net losses attributable to other beneficial interests of $2.2 million and $3.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders was $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The following carrying amounts related to Eaton Vance CLO IX were included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

The Company had a subordinated interest in Eaton Vance CLO IX of $1.5 million as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, which was eliminated in consolidation.
Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1
Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 began as a warehouse stage CLO in December 2012. During the warehouse phase, all of the subordinated interests of the entity in the form of redeemable preferred shares were controlled by affiliates of an investment manager unrelated to the Company. The Company irrevocably elected the fair value option for measurement of substantially all financial assets of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 upon its initial consolidation on October 11, 2013, when the senior note obligations and redeemable preferred shares of the CLO were priced. At pricing, the Company entered into a trade commitment to acquire 20 percent of the redeemable preferred shares of the entity to be issued at closing on November 13, 2013, representing a variable, although not beneficial, interest in the entity as of October 31, 2013.
The Company did not elect the fair value option on the warehouse line of credit and redeemable preferred shares at pricing, as these liabilities were temporary in nature. The warehouse line of credit and the redeemable preferred shares were extinguished, and new senior note obligations and redeemable preferred shares were issued at closing on November 13, 2013. The Company irrevocably elected the fair value option for the senior note obligations and redeemable preferred shares of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 upon their issuance.
The Company elected the fair value option in these instances to mitigate any accounting mismatches between the carrying value of the new senior note obligations and redeemable preferred shares of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 and the carrying value of the assets that are held to provide the cash flows for those beneficial interests. Unrealized gains and losses on assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in gains and other investment income, net, of the consolidated CLO entities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
During the six months ended April 30, 2014, approximately $4.8 million of organizational and structuring costs associated with the closing of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 were recorded in interest and other expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
The following tables present, as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the fair value of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1’s assets and liabilities that are subject to fair value accounting:

Changes in the fair values of Eaton Vance CLO-2013-1’s bank loans and other investments resulted in net losses of $0.3 million and $39,000 during the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, respectively, while changes in the fair value of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1’s note obligations resulted in net losses of $0.8 million and net gains of $2.4 million during the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, respectively. The combined net losses of $1.1 million and combined net gains of $2.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 were recorded as gains and other investment income, net, of consolidated CLO entities in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income.
Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 has note obligations that bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread, which ranges from 1.36 percent to 5.75 percent. The principal amounts outstanding of the note obligations issued by Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 mature on November 13, 2024. Prepayments received on bank loans and other investments by Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 prior to November 2017 will be reinvested.
For the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, the Company recorded net income of $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1. The Company recorded net income attributable to other beneficial interests of $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, respectively. Net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders was $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, respectively.
The following carrying amounts related to Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 were included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

As of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, other liabilities included $17.4 million and $118.2 million, respectively, due to brokers for collateral asset purchases.
The Company had a subordinated interest in Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 of $8.2 million as of April 30, 2014, which was eliminated in consolidation.
Subsequent event – Deconsolidation of CLO 2013-1
On May 1, 2014, the Company sold its 20 percent interest in the subordinated preferred shares of CLO 2013-1 and determined that it does not retain a controlling financial interest in CLO 2013-1, as it no longer has an obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE. The Company deconsolidated CLO 2013-1 and derecognized the associated assets, liabilities and appropriated retained earnings from its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 1, 2014. The Company continues in its role as collateral manager of CLO 2013-1.
Investments in VIEs that are not consolidated
Sponsored funds
The Company classifies its investments in certain sponsored funds that are considered VIEs as either equity method investments (generally when the Company owns more than 20 percent but less than 50 percent of the fund) or as available-for-sale investments (generally when the Company owns less than 20 percent of the fund), when it is not considered the primary beneficiary of those VIEs. The Company provides aggregated disclosures with respect to these non-consolidated sponsored fund VIEs in Note 5.
Non-consolidated CLO entities
The Company is not deemed the primary beneficiary of several CLO entities in which it holds variable interests. In its role as collateral manager, the Company often has the power to direct the activities of the CLO entities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. In developing its conclusion that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities, the Company determined that, for certain of these entities, although it has variable interests in each by virtue of its residual interests therein and the collateral management fees it receives, its variable interests neither individually nor in the aggregate represent an obligation to absorb losses of or a right to receive benefits from any such entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. Quantitative factors supporting the Company’s qualitative conclusion in each case included the relative size of the Company’s residual interest (in all but one instance representing less than 6 percent of the residual interest
29 |
tranche and less than 1 percent of the total capital of the entity) and the overall magnitude and design of the collateral management fees within each structure.
At April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the Company held a 16.7 percent subordinated interest in a warehouse stage CLO entity. The Company has determined that it does not hold the power to direct the activities of this CLO entity during the warehouse stage as that power is shared with the majority holder of the equity during this stage. As a result, the Company did not consolidate this entity as of either April 30, 2014 or October 31, 2013.
Non-consolidated CLO entities had total assets of $1.9 billion as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. The Company’s variable interests in these entities consist of the Company’s direct ownership in these entities and any collateral management fees earned but uncollected. The Company’s investment in these entities totaled $7.7 million and $5.4 million as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. Collateral management fees receivable for these CLO entities totaled $2.0 million and $2.1 million on April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. In the first six months of fiscal 2014, the Company did not provide any financial or other support to these entities that it was not previously contractually required to provide. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to these managed CLO entities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and collateral management fees receivable from, the CLO entities as of April 30, 2014.
The Company’s investments in non-consolidated CLO entities are disclosed as a component of investments in Note 5. Income from these entities is recorded as a component of gains (losses) and other investment income, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, based upon projected investment yields.
Other entities
The Company holds variable interests in, but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, certain sponsored privately offered equity funds with total assets of $10.2 billion and $9.8 billion as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. The Company has determined that these entities qualify for the deferral to certain provisions of FASB ASC Subtopic 810-10 – Consolidation- Overall, afforded by ASU 2010-10, Consolidation – Amendments for Certain Investment Funds (the “Investment Company deferral”) and thus determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of these entities by virtue of its exposure to the expected losses and expected residual returns of the entity. The Company’s variable interests in these entities consist of the Company’s direct ownership therein, which in each case is insignificant relative to the total ownership of the fund, and any investment advisory fees earned but uncollected. The Company held investments in these entities totaling $6.1 million and $5.6 million on April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively, and investment advisory fees receivable totaling $0.5 million on both April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013. In the first six months of fiscal 2014, the Company did not provide any financial or other support to these entities that it was not contractually required to provide. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to these managed entities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in and investment advisory fees receivable from the entities as of April 30, 2014. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it does not hold the majority of the risks and rewards of ownership.
The Company’s investments in privately offered equity funds are carried at fair value and included in investment securities, available for sale, which are disclosed as a component of investments in Note 5. The Company records any change in fair value, net of income tax, in other comprehensive income (loss).
10. Acquisitions
Parametric Risk Advisors LLC (“Parametric Risk Advisors”)
On November 1, 2013, the non-controlling interest holders of Parametric Risk Advisors entered into a Unit Acquisition Agreement with Parametric Portfolio Associates (“Parametric”) to exchange their remaining ownership interests in Parametric Risk Advisors (representing a 20 percent ownership interest in the entity) for additional ownership interests in Parametric Portfolio LP (“Parametric LP”), whose sole asset is ownership

interests in Parametric. The Parametric LP ownership interests acquired in the exchange contain put and call features that become exercisable over a four-year period starting in 2018. As a result of this exchange, Parametric Risk Advisors became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parametric.
Atlanta Capital
In fiscal 2013, the Company exercised a call option requiring the non-controlling interest holders of Atlanta Capital to sell a 3.4 percent profit interest and a 0.2 percent capital interest in Atlanta Capital to the Company for $12.8 million. In addition, the non-controlling interest holders of Atlanta Capital exercised a put option requiring the Company to purchase an additional 3.8 percent profit interest and a 0.3 percent capital interest in Atlanta Capital for $14.1 million. The purchase price of these transactions was based on a multiple of earnings before taxes based on the financial results of Atlanta Capital for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013. Upon the execution of the call and put options, the Company reduced redeemable non-controlling interests and recorded a liability within other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The transactions settled in December 2013 and increased the Company’s capital ownership interest in Atlanta Capital from 99.4 percent to 99.9 percent and increased the Company’s profit ownership interest from 80.3 percent to 87.5 percent.

19. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties, such as engagement letters with advisors and consultants, information technology agreements, distribution agreements and service agreements. In certain circumstances, these indemnities in favor of third parties relate to service agreements entered into by investment funds managed and/or advised by Eaton Vance Management or Boston Management and Research, both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors, officers and employees in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended. Certain agreements do not contain any limits on the Company’s liability and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the Company’s potential liability under these indemnities. In certain cases, the Company has recourse against third parties with respect to these indemnities. Further, the Company maintains insurance policies that may provide coverage against certain claims under these indemnities.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, after discussions with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
The Company has entered into transactions in financial instruments in which it has sold securities, not yet purchased as part of its corporate hedging program. As of April 30, 2014, the Company has $0.7 million included within other liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet related to securities sold, not yet purchased.

General
Our principal business is managing investment funds and providing investment management and advisory services to high-net-worth individuals and institutions. Our core strategy is to develop and sustain management expertise across a range of investment disciplines and to offer leading investment products and services through multiple distribution channels. In executing this strategy, we have developed broadly diversified investment management capabilities and a powerful marketing, distribution and customer service organization. Although we manage and distribute a wide range of investment products and services, we operate in one business segment, namely as an investment adviser to funds and separate accounts.
Through our subsidiaries Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”) and Atlanta Capital Management, LLC (“Atlanta Capital”) and other affiliates, we manage active equity, income and alternative strategies across a range of investment styles and asset classes, including U.S. and global equities, floating-rate bank loans, municipal bonds, global income, high-yield and investment grade bonds. Through our subsidiary Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”), we manage a range of engineered alpha strategies, including systematic equity, systematic alternatives and managed options strategies, and provide portfolio implementation services, including tax-managed core and specialty index strategies, futures- and options-based portfolio overlay, and centralized portfolio management of multi-manager portfolios. We also oversee the management of investment funds sub-advised by third-party managers, including global, regional and sector equity, commodity and asset allocation strategies. Our breadth of investment management capabilities supports a wide range of products and services offered to fund shareholders, retail managed account investors, institutional investors and high-net-worth clients. Our equity strategies encompass a diversity of investment objectives, risk profiles, income levels and geographic representation. Our income investment strategies cover a broad duration and credit quality range and encompass both taxable and tax-free investments. We also offer a range of alternative investment strategies, including commodity- and currency- based investments and a spectrum of absolute return strategies. As of April 30, 2014, we had $285.9 billion in consolidated assets under management.
39 |
Our principal retail marketing strategy is to distribute funds and separately managed accounts through financial intermediaries in the advice channel. We have a broad reach in this marketplace, with distribution partners including national and regional broker-dealers, independent broker-dealers, independent financial advisory firms, banks and insurance companies. We support these distribution partners with a team of approximately 135 sales professionals covering U.S. and international markets.
We also commit significant resources to serving institutional and high-net-worth clients who access investment management services on a direct basis. Through our wholly owned affiliates and consolidated subsidiaries we manage investments for a broad range of clients in the institutional and high-net-worth marketplace in the U.S. and internationally, including corporations, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, family offices and public and private employee retirement plans.
Our revenue is derived primarily from investment advisory, administrative, distribution and service fees received from Eaton Vance funds and investment advisory fees received from separate accounts. Our fees are based primarily on the value of the investment portfolios we manage and fluctuate with changes in the total value and mix of assets under management. As a matter of course, investors in our sponsored open-end funds and separate accounts have the ability to redeem their investments at any time, without prior notice, and there are no material restrictions that would prevent them from doing so. Our major expenses are employee compensation, distribution-related expenses, facilities expense and information technology expense.
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, investments and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Business Developments
Prevailing equity and income market conditions and investor sentiment affect the sales and redemptions of our investment products, managed asset levels, operating results and the recoverability of our investments. During the second quarter and first six months of our fiscal year, the S&P 500 Index, a broad measure of U.S. equity market performance, had total returns of 6.2% and 8.4%, respectively. Over the same periods, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. bond market performance, had total returns of 1.2% and 1.7%, respectively. The Company’s ending consolidated assets under management increased by $7.3 billion, or 3 percent, in the second quarter to $285.9 billion on April 30, 2014, reflecting market appreciation partially offset by net outflows. Net outflows for the second quarter were concentrated in global income, large-cap value equity and Atlanta Capital mandates. Notable sources of net inflows for the quarter included floating-rate income and implementation services. Average consolidated assets under management increased from the prior quarter by $2.1 billion, to $284.4 billion in the second quarter.
The primary drivers of our overall and investment advisory effective fee rates are the mix of our assets by product structure, distribution channel and investment mandate, and the timing and amount of performance fees recognized. Shifts in managed assets among product structures, distribution channels and investment mandates with differing fee schedules can alter the total effective fee rate earned on our assets under management. Our overall average effective fee rate decreased to 50 basis points in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, respectively, from 52 basis points and 55 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, respectively. Our average effective investment advisory and administrative fee rate similarly
40 |
decreased to 42 basis points and 43 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, respectively, from 44 basis points and 46 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of last year, respectively.
Consolidated Assets under Management
Consolidated assets under management of $285.9 billion on April 30, 2014 increased $25.6 billion, or 10 percent, from the $260.3 billion reported a year earlier. Consolidated assets under management on April 30, 2014 included $134.9 billion in long-term funds, $96.6 billion in institutional separate accounts, $21.0 billion in high-net-worth separate accounts, $33.2 billion in retail managed accounts and $0.2 billion in cash management fund assets. Long-term fund net inflows of $5.2 billion over the last twelve months reflect gross inflows of $40.8 billion offset by outflows of $35.6 billion. Institutional separate account net inflows were $5.7 billion, high-net-worth separate account net outflows were $0.4 billion and retail managed account net inflows were $0.2 billion over the past twelve months. Net price appreciation in managed assets increased assets under management by $14.9 billion over the last twelve months.
We report managed assets and flow data by investment mandate. The “Alternative” category includes a range of absolute return strategies, as well as commodity- and currency-linked investments. The “Implementation Services” category includes Parametric’s tax-managed core, centralized portfolio management and specialty index business lines, as well as their futures- and options-based overlay and exposure management services.

Results of Operations
In evaluating operating performance, we consider net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and earnings per diluted share, which are calculated on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, as well as adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share, both of which are internally derived non-U.S. GAAP performance measures.
We define adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share as net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and earnings per diluted share, respectively, adjusted to exclude changes in the estimated redemption value of non-controlling interests redeemable at other than fair value (“non-controlling interest value adjustments”), closed-end fund structuring fees and other items management deems non-recurring (such as the impact of special dividends, costs associated with the extinguishment of debt and tax settlements) or non-operating in nature. Adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share should not be construed to be a substitute for, or superior to, net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and earnings per diluted share computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We provide disclosures of adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share to reflect the fact that our management
48 |
and Board of Directors consider these adjusted numbers a measure of the Company’s underlying operating performance.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and earnings per diluted share to adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:

We reported net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $74.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $63.7 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. We reported adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $74.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $66.0 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The change in net income and adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 can be primarily attributed to the following:
· | An increase in revenue of $22.4 million, or 7 percent, primarily due to a 12 percent increase in average assets under management, offset by a decrease in our annualized effective fee rate to 50 basis points from 52 basis points as a result of a shift in asset mix. |
· | An increase in expenses of $5.1 million, or 2 percent, reflecting increases in compensation, fund-related expenses and other expenses partially offset by decreases in distribution and service fee expenses and reduced amortization of deferred sales commissions. |
· | A $5.8 million decrease in gains (losses) and other investment income, net, primarily due to a decrease in investment gains recognized on our seed capital portfolio. |
49 |
· | A decrease of $1.2 million in interest expense, reflecting the retirement of $250 million of our 6.5 percent Senior Notes due 2017 and the contemporaneous issuance of $325 million of 3.625 percent Senior Notes due 2023 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. |
· | A $0.4 million decline in income (expense) of the Company’s consolidated collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) entities, reflecting an increase in gains and other investment income, offset by an increase in interest expense. |
· | An increase in income taxes of $7.1 million, or 18 percent, reflecting the increase in the Company’s income before taxes. Consolidated CLO entity income that is allocated to other beneficial interest holders is not subject to tax in the Company’s provision. |
· | An increase in equity in net income of affiliates, net of tax, of $1.8 million, primarily reflecting an increase in the Company’s proportionate net interest of sponsored funds accounted for under the equity method. |
· | A $4.3 million decrease in net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interest holders, primarily reflecting a decline in net income attributable to non-controlling interest holders of the Company’s consolidated funds. |
We reported net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $146.3 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $113.5 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2013. We reported adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $148.6 million, or $1.17 adjusted earnings per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $126.5 million, or $1.01 adjusted earnings per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2013. The change in net income and adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders for the first half of fiscal 2014 compared to the first half of fiscal 2013 can be primarily attributed to the following:
· | An increase in revenue of $64.1 million, or 10 percent, primarily due to a 21 percent increase in average assets under management, offset by a decrease in our annualized effective fee rate to 50 basis points from 55 basis points. The decrease in our effective fee rate reflects a change in asset mix, largely due to the Clifton acquisition in December 2012. |
· | An increase in expenses of $23.4 million, or 5 percent, reflecting increases in compensation, distribution fees, fund-related expenses and other expenses offset by reduced amortization of deferred sales commissions. |
· | A decrease of $10.6 million in gains (losses) and other investment income, net, primarily due to a decline in investment gains recognized on our seed capital investments. |
· | A $2.3 million decrease in interest expense reflecting the retirement of $250 million of our 6.5 percent Senior Notes due 2017 and the contemporaneous issuance of $325 million of 3.625 percent Senior Notes due 2023 in the third quarter of 2013. |
· | A $2.9 million improvement in income (expense) of the Company’s consolidated CLO entities which can be attributed to an increase in gains and other income, net, offset by an increase in interest and other expenses. |
· | An increase in income taxes of $15.8 million reflecting the increase in the Company’s income before taxes. |
· | An increase in equity in net income of affiliates, net of tax, of $1.9 million, reflecting our 49 percent equity interest in Hexavest and an increase in the Company’s proportionate net interest in earnings of sponsored funds accounted for under the equity method of accounting. |
· | A decrease in net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interest holders of $11.2 million, primarily reflecting a decrease in the net gains recognized by the Company’s consolidated CLO entities that are borne by other beneficial interest holders, partially offset by a decrease in the annual adjustment made to the estimated redemption value of non-controlling interests in the Company’s |
50 |
majority-owned subsidiaries and a decrease in net income attributable to non-controlling interest holders in the Company’s consolidated funds. |
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding increased by 2.3 million shares, or 2 percent, in the first six months of fiscal 2014 over the first six months of fiscal 2013. The change reflects an increase in the dilutive effect of in-the-money options resulting from an 11 percent increase in the average share price of the Company’s Non-Voting Common Stock, offset by a decrease in outstanding shares of the Company’s Non-Voting Common Stock as a result of share repurchases during the period.
Revenue
Our overall average effective fee rate (total revenue, excluding other revenue, as a percentage of average assets under management) was 50 basis points in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, compared to 52 basis points and 55 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, respectively. As noted above, the decrease in our overall average effective fee rate can be primarily attributed to the impact of the acquisition of Clifton, whose business operates at a significantly lower average effective fee rate.
The following table shows our investment advisory and administrative fees, distribution and underwriter fees, service fees and other revenue for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:

Investment advisory and administrative fees
Investment advisory and administrative fees represented 85 percent of total revenue in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, compared to 83 percent in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013.
The increase in investment advisory and administrative fees in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from the same period a year earlier reflects a 12 percent increase in average assets under management, offset by a decline in our effective fee rates. The decrease in our effective investment advisory and administrative fee rate to 42 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014 from 44 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 can be primarily attributed to the impact of a shift in product mix from higher fee to lower fee mandates. Performance fees totaled $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $118,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
The increase in investment advisory and administrative fees of 12 percent, or $64.6 million, in the first six months of fiscal 2014 over the same period a year earlier can be primarily attributed to the 21 percent increase in average assets under m
