N/M – Not Meaningful

Total assets under management of $162.5 billion at September 30, 2023 declined from $168.3 billion at June 30, 2023 primarily due to market performance and open-end fund net outflows. In addition, the company provided services to $2.5 billion of other fee-earning assets.

Total sales of $5.8 billion decreased from $7.6 billion in the second quarter as increases in retail separate accounts and open-end funds were more than offset by lower institutional sales. Institutional sales of $1.3 billion declined from $3.7 billion in the prior quarter, which included a large fixed income mandate. Retail separate account sales of $1.8 billion increased 37% from $1.3 billion reflecting strong sales of small/mid cap. Open-end fund sales of $2.7 billion increased 5% from $2.6 billion primarily reflecting higher sales of alternatives and fixed income.

Net flows of ($1.5) billion compared with breakeven net flows in the second quarter. Institutional net flows of ($0.4) billion declined from $2.2 billion in the prior quarter, which included the large mandate. Retail separate account net flows of $0.3 billion compared with ($0.1) billion in the prior quarter, with net inflows in both the intermediary sold and private client channels. Open-end fund net flows of ($1.5) billion compared with ($2.1) billion in the prior quarter due to higher sales and lower redemptions and included improved net flows in alternatives, fixed income, and domestic equity.

GAAP Results

Operating income of $44.9 million increased 15% from $39.0 million in the prior quarter due to an increase in revenues reflecting higher average assets under management. Operating expenses of $174.4 million were relatively unchanged, with lower employment and other operating expenses compared with the prior quarter, which included fair value adjustments to contingent consideration. Employment and other operating expenses each declined from the prior quarter primarily due to lower acquisition and integration expenses.

Net income attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. of $4.19 per diluted share included ($0.67) of fair value adjustments to affiliate noncontrolling interests and ($0.30) of acquisition and integration costs. Net income per diluted share of $4.10 in the prior quarter included ($0.31) of acquisition and integration costs, ($0.30) of net realized and unrealized losses on investments, and $0.21 of fair value adjustments to affiliate noncontrolling interests.

The effective tax rate of 24% decreased from 27% in the prior quarter, primarily reflecting changes in valuation allowances related to marketable securities.

Non-GAAP Results

Revenues, as adjusted, of $197.5 million increased 4% from $190.6 million in the prior quarter primarily due to higher average assets under management.

Employment expenses, as adjusted, of $98.8 million increased from $95.8 million in the prior quarter due to higher profit-, sales-, and stock performance-based incentive compensation. Other operating expenses, as adjusted, of $30.1 million declined from $31.7 million in the prior quarter, which included the annual equity grants to the Board of Directors of $0.9 million.

Operating income, as adjusted, of $67.0 million and the related margin of 33.9% increased from $61.6 million and 32.3% in the prior quarter, respectively, due to higher investment management fees and relatively unchanged operating expenses.

Net income attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., as adjusted, per diluted share was $6.21, an increase of $0.78, or 14%, from $5.43 in the prior quarter. The increase primarily reflected higher investment management fees.

The effective tax rate, as adjusted, of 27% was unchanged from the prior quarter.

The company repaid $20.0 million of the revolving credit facility during the quarter. Net debt was $84.1 million, or 0.3x EBITDA, at September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations

(in thousands except per share data)

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release differ from financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a result of the reclassification of certain income statement items, as well as the exclusion of certain expenses and other items that are not reflective of the earnings generated from providing investment management and related services. Non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures.

The following are reconciliations and related notes of the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure:
