LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE:JHG, ASX:JHG, “JHG” or “the Group”) published its third quarter results for the three month period ended 30 September 2017.

Third quarter 2017 net income attributable to JHG of US$99.5 million increased 139% compared to US$41.7 million in the second quarter 2017 (third quarter 2016: US$53.4 million). Net income attributable to JHG on an adjusted basis, adjusted for acquisition and transaction related costs, of US$114.2 million decreased 18% compared with US$139.8 million in the second quarter 2017 (third quarter 2016: US$108.4 million) on a pro forma adjusted basis.

Third quarter 2017 diluted earnings per share of US$0.49 increased 75% compared to US$0.28 in the second quarter 2017 (third quarter 2016: US$0.46). Diluted earnings per share on an adjusted basis of US$0.56 decreased 18% compared to US$0.68 in the second quarter 2017 (third quarter 2016: US$0.52) on a pro forma adjusted basis.

Integration efforts since the closing of the merger on 30 May 2017 are progressing ahead of expectations. As at 30 September 2017, the combined Group had completed US$72 million of annualised run rate pre-tax net cost synergies, which comprised savings largely from headcount reduction. The Group now expects it will be able to realise at least US$90 million of annualised run rate pre-tax net cost synergies by the end of the first 12 months post completion, up from previous guidance of US$85 million. The expansion of the long-standing strategic partnership with BNP Paribas into the US, which was announced today, coupled with the ongoing integration work across the firm, has enabled the Group to increase expectations for recurring annual run rate pre-tax net cost synergies to at least US$125 million within three years post completion. This is increased from previous guidance of at least US$110 million.

Dick Weil and Andrew Formica, co-Chief Executive Officers of Janus Henderson Group plc, said:

“The delivery of consistently strong investment performance is a testament to the quality of our investment teams and underpins the improved momentum we have seen in net sales in the third quarter. Importantly, flows were driven by demand for a wide range of strategies across Janus Henderson’s Equity, Fixed Income and Alternative capabilities. We are encouraged by the levels of engagement, support and relationships developing with clients, globally.

“Integration across Janus Henderson continues to progress at pace, with our focus concentrated on delivering first-class investment performance and service to our clients. The expansion of our long-standing strategic partnership with BNP Paribas into the US will provide the firm with a consistent global platform to support growth. Our confidence in our ability to deliver cost synergies has enabled us to increase our target to at least US$125 million on an annual run rate basis. Only five months have passed since the formation of Janus Henderson, yet pleasingly we are seeing green shoots in the cross-revenue opportunities, brought about by our global distribution footprint, expanded product set and collaborative culture.”

The Group presents its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”) which includes the results of Janus Capital Group from the merger closing date. However, in the opinion of Management, the profitability of the Group and its ongoing operations is best evaluated using additional non-GAAP financial measures on a pro forma adjusted basis. See adjusted statements of income reconciliation for additional information.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS (unaudited)

Third quarter 2017 adjusted revenue of US$454.6 million decreased from the second quarter result of US$482.2 million as performance fees in the third quarter decreased from the exceptional level achieved in the previous period. Management fees on a pro forma basis grew 5%, driven primarily by growth in average AUM. Third quarter 2017 adjusted operating income of US$168.4 million decreased from US$199.5 million in the second quarter 2017, driven by lower performance fees.

DIVIDEND

On 8 November 2017, the Board of Directors of JHG (the “Board”) declared a third quarter dividend in respect of the three months ended 30 September 2017 of US$0.32 per share.
