Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"Janus Henderson again delivered another solid set of quarterly results, building upon tangible momentum in the business. The results reflect market gains, solid investment performance produced by our world-class investment professionals, a second consecutive quarter of positive net flows delivered by our dedicated client groups, and the efforts and productivity from all our operating and support areas. 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. Better net flows, a stable net management fee rate, and operating leverage resulted in a 42% year-over-year increase in our adjusted diluted EPS to US$0.91. Our healthy balance sheet and strong cash flow generation provide us the flexibility to continue to invest in the business—both organically and inorganically—as well as return cash to shareholders. While we are pleased with the clear momentum, we recognize there will always be work to be done, and we continue to be focused on positioning Janus Henderson to deliver superior outcomes for our clients, employees, shareholders, and other stakeholders."

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS (unaudited) (in US$ millions, except per share data or as noted)

The Company presents its financial results in US$ and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, JHG management evaluates the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations using additional non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate the business, and adjusted values are consistent with internal management reporting. See “Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information” below for additional information.

SHARE REPURCHASE AND DIVIDEND

On October 30, 2024, the Board declared a dividend of US$0.39 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Shareholders on the register on the record date of November 11, 2024, will be paid the dividend on November 27, 2024.

As part of the US$150 million on-market share repurchase program approved by the Board in May 2024, JHG purchased 1.1 million of its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the third quarter, for a total outlay of approximately US$40 million. Additionally, on October 30, 2024, the Board approved a US$50 million increase to this existing on-market share repurchase program, bringing the total repurchase authorization to up to US$200 million of common stock.

AUM AND FLOWS (in US$ billions)

FX reflects movement in AUM resulting from changes in foreign currency rates as non-US$ denominated AUM is translated into US$. Redemptions include impact of client transfers.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

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 funds, Managed CDOs, Private Equity funds, and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Excluded assets represent 3% of AUM. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson.

Includes Janus Investment Fund, Janus Aspen Series, Janus Henderson Detroit Street Trust (ETFs), and Clayton Street Trust (U.S. Trusts), Janus Henderson Capital Funds (Dublin based), Dublin and UK OEIC and Investment Trusts, Luxembourg SICAVs, Australian Managed Investment Schemes, and legacy Tabula ICAVs (legacy Tabula passive ETFs are excluded). 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 September 30, 2024, 62%, 57%, 60%, and 63% of the 187, 175, 160, 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.
