The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021 ("2021~~2022 (the "2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

3. Revenues

The Company's revenues are recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied, which occurs when control of the services is transferred to customers. Investment management fees, distribution and service fees, and administration and shareholder service fees are generally calculated as a percentage of average net assets of the investment portfolios managed. The net asset values from which these fees are calculated are variable in nature and subject to factors outside of the Company's control, such as additional investments, withdrawals and market performance. Because of this, these fees are considered constrained until the end of the contractual measurement period (monthly or quarterly), which is when asset values are generally determinable.

At June 30, ~~2022, 668,628~~2023, 480,249 shares of common stock ~~remain~~remained available for issuance of the 3,370,000 shares that are authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense is summarized as follows:

Restricted Stock Units

Each RSU entitles the holder to 1one share of common stock when the restriction expires. RSUs may be time-vested or performance-contingent (PSUs) that convert into RSUs after performance measurement is complete and generally vest in one to three years. Shares that are issued upon vesting are newly issued shares from the Omnibus Plan and are not issued from treasury stock.

RSU activity, inclusive of PSUs, for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 is summarized as follows:


		Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value			Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

For the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, a total of ~~72,043~~76,452 and ~~72,324~~72,043 RSUs, respectively, were withheld by the Company as a result of net share settlements to settle minimum employee tax withholding obligations. The Company paid ~~$15.3~~$13.2 million and ~~$19.3~~$15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively, in minimum employee tax withholding obligations related to RSUs withheld for the net share settlements. These net share settlements had the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the vesting.

During the six months ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company granted ~~30,516~~44,583 PSUs that contain performance-based metrics in addition to a service condition. Compensation expense for PSUs is generally recognized over a three-year service period based upon the value determined using a combination of (i) the intrinsic value method for awards that contain a performance metric that represents a "performance condition" in accordance with ASC 718,Stock Compensation ("ASC 718") and (ii) the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for awards that contain a "market condition" performance metric under ASC 718. Compensation expense for PSU awards that contain a market condition is fixed at the date of grant and will not be adjusted in future periods based upon the achievement of the market condition. Compensation expense for PSU awards with a performance condition is recorded each period based upon a probability assessment of the expected outcome of the performance metric with a final adjustment upon measurement at the end of the performance period.

As of June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, unamortized stock-based compensation expense for unvested RSUs and PSUs was ~~$35.2~~$39.3 million with a weighted-average remaining contractual life of ~~1.4~~1.5 years.

11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per ~~Share.~~ Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding dilution for potential common stock issuances.Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, including shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs and stock option exercises using the treasury stock method, as determined under the if-converted method.

12. Income Taxes

In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the estimated annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changes in facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and at each interim period thereafter.

The provision for income taxes reflected U.S. federal, state and local taxes at an estimated effective tax rate of ~~38.4%~~23.2% and ~~22.6%~~38.4% for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. The ~~higher~~lower estimated effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 was primarily due to excess tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation and the change in valuation allowances ~~recorded~~ in the current year related to the tax effects of unrealized gains on certain Company investments. The higher effective tax rate in the prior year period was due to valuation allowances recorded for the tax effects of unrealized losses on certain Company investments.

13. Debt

Credit Agreement

The Company's credit agreement, asmost recently amended on June 20, 2023, changing the base interest rate from LIBOR to SOFR, (the "Credit Agreement"), comprises (i) a $275.0 million term loan with a seven-year term ~~loan~~ (the "Term Loan") expiring in September 2028, and (ii) a $175.0 million revolving credit facility with a five-year term expiring in September 2026. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company repaid ~~$11.4~~$1.4 million outstanding under its Term Loan. At June 30, ~~2022, $262.9~~2023, $260.2 million was outstanding under the Term ~~Loan, and the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.~~Loan. In accordance with ASC 835, Interest, the amounts outstanding under the Company's Term Loan are presented inon the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet net of related debt issuance costs, which were ~~$7.1~~$6.0 million as of June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. On April 3, 2023, the Company borrowed $50.0 million under the revolving credit facility to partially finance its acquisition of AlphaSimplex, $40.0 million of which was outstanding at June 30, 2023 (see Note 4 for further information). On August 4, 2023, the Company repaid $20.0 million outstanding under the credit facility.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company is involved from time to time in litigation and arbitration, as well as examinations, inquiries and investigations by various regulatory bodies, ~~including the SEC,~~ involving its compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting its products and other activities. ~~Legal and regulatory matters of this nature involve or may involve but are not limited to the~~

~~Table of Contents~~

Company's activities as an employer, issuer of securities, investor, investment adviser, broker-dealer or taxpayer. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company discusses matters with its regulators raised during regulatory examinations or is otherwise subject to their inquiry. These matters could result in censures, fines, penalties or other sanctions.

The Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In addition, in the event the Company determines that a loss is not probable, but is reasonably possible, and it becomes possible to develop what the Company believes to be a reasonable range of possible loss, then the Company will include disclosures related to such matter as appropriate and in compliance with ASC 450, ~~Contingencies~~. The disclosures, accruals or estimates, if any, resulting from the foregoing analysis are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Based on information currently available, available insurance coverage, indemnities and established reserves, the Company believes that the outcomes of its legal and regulatory proceedings are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or its consolidated financial condition. However, in the event of unexpected subsequent developments, and given the inherent unpredictability of these legal and regulatory matters, the Company can provide no assurance that its assessment of any ~~claim, dispute, regulatory examination or investigation or other~~ legal matter will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in certain matters could ~~from time to time,~~ have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

15. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable noncontrolling interests represent third-party investments in the Company's CIP and minority interests held in a consolidated affiliate. Minority interests held in the affiliate are subject to holder put rights and Company call rights at established multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and, as such, are considered redeemable at other than fair value. The rights are exercisable at pre-established intervals (between four and seven years from their issuance) or upon certain conditions, such as retirement. The put and call rights are not legally detachable or separately exercisable and are deemed to be embedded in the related noncontrolling interests. The Company, in purchasing affiliate equity, has the option to settle in cash or shares of the Company's common stock and is entitled to the cash flow associated with any purchased equity. Minority interests in an affiliate are recorded at estimated redemption value within redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and any changes in the estimated redemption value are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within noncontrolling interests.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests for the six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 included the following amounts:

16. Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and investment products that are consolidated. Voting interest entities ("~~VOEs"~~VOE") are consolidated when the Company is considered to have a controlling financial interest, which is typically present when the Company owns a majority of the voting interest in an entity or otherwise has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity.

The Company evaluates any variable interest ~~entities~~entity ("~~VIEs"~~VIE") in which the Company has a variable interest for consolidation. A VIE is an entity in which either (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial ~~support;~~support, or (ii) where as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk do not possess ~~(x)~~any one of the following: (a) the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's

~~Table of Contents~~

economic performance, ~~(y)~~(b) the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity, or ~~(z)~~(c) proportionate voting and economic interests and where substantially all of the entity's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights. If an

Table of Contents

entity has any of these characteristics, it is considered a VIE and is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

In the normal course of its business, the Company sponsors various investment products, some of which are consolidated by the Company. CIP includes both VOEs, made up primarily of open-end funds in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest, and VIEs, which ~~primarily~~ consist of ~~CLOs~~collateralized loan obligations ("CLO") and certain global and private funds of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The consolidation and deconsolidation of these investment products have no impact on net income (loss) attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. The Company's risk with respect to these investment products is limited to its beneficial interests in these products. The Company has no right to the benefits from, and does not bear the risks associated with, these investment products beyond the Company's investments in, and fees generated from, these products.

The following table presents the balances of CIP that, after intercompany eliminations, were reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021:~~2022:

Consolidated CLOs

The majority of the Company's CIP that are VIEs are CLOs. At June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company consolidated 6seven CLOs. The financial information of certain CLOs is included on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements on a one-month lag based upon the availability of their financial information. A majority-owned consolidated private fund, whose primary purpose is to invest in CLOs for which the Company serves as the collateral manager, is also included.

Investments of CLOs

The CLOs held investments of $1.9 billion at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 consisting of bank loan investments ~~which~~that comprise the majority of the CLOs' portfolio asset collateral and are senior secured corporate loans across a variety of industries. These bank loan investments mature at various dates between ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2029~~2032 and pay interest at LIBOR or SOFR plus a spread of up to ~~10.0%~~9.0%. The CLOs may elect to reinvest any prepayments received on bank loan investments up until the periods between October 2019 and October 2026, depending on the CLO. Generally, subsequent prepayments received after the reinvestment period must be used to pay down the note obligations. At June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the fair value of the senior bank loans was less than the unpaid principal balance by ~~$113.6~~$154.4 million. At June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, there were no material collateral assets in default.

Notes Payable of CLOs

The CLOs held notes payable with a total value, at par, of $2.2 billion at June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, consisting of senior secured floating rate notes payable with a par value of ~~$1.9~~$2.0 billion and subordinated notes with a par value of ~~$233.7~~$261.2 million. These note obligations bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread ranging from 0.8% to ~~8.9%~~9.1%. The principal amounts outstanding of these note obligations mature on dates ranging from October 2027 to October 2034.

The Company's beneficial interests and maximum exposure to loss related to these consolidated CLOs is limited to (i) ownership in the subordinated notes, and (ii) accrued management fees. The secured notes of the consolidated CLOs have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CLO and are classified as financial liabilities. Although these beneficial

The following is a discussion of the valuation methodologies used for the assets and liabilities of the Company’s CIP measured at fair value:

Cash equivalents represent investments in money market funds. Cash investments in money market funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1.

Debt and equity investments represent the underlying debt, equity and other securities held in CIP. Equity investments are valued at the official closing price on the exchange on which the securities are traded and are generally categorized within Level 1. Level 2 investments represent most debt securities, including bank loans and certain equity securities (including non-U.S. securities), for which closing prices are not readily available or are deemed to not reflect readily available market prices, and are valued using an independent pricing service. Debt investments are valued based on quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. Bank loan investments, which are included as debt investments, are generally priced 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. Level 3 investments include debt and equity securities that are not widely traded, are illiquid or are priced by dealers based on pricing models used by market makers in the security.

Notes payable represent notes issued by CIP CLOs and are measured using the measurement alternative in ASU 2014-13. Accordingly, the fair value of CLO liabilities was measured as the fair value of CLO assets less the sum of (i) the fair value of the beneficial interests held by the Company, and (ii) the carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent

~~Table of Contents~~

compensation for services. The fair value of the beneficial interests held by the Company is based on third-party pricing information without adjustment.

Short sales are transactions in which a security is sold that is not owned or is owned but there is no intention to deliver, in anticipation that the price of the security will decline. Short sales are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within other liabilities of CIP and are classified as Level 1 based on the underlying equity security.

The securities ~~purchase~~purchased payable at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

(1)The investments that are categorized as Level 3 were valued utilizing third-party pricing information without adjustment. Transfers ~~between Level 2 and Level 3 were due to trading activities~~in and/or out of levels are reflected when significant inputs, including market inputs or performance attributes, used for the fair value measurement become observable/unobservable at period end.

Nonconsolidated VIEs

The Company serves as the collateral manager for other ~~collateralized loan and collateralized bond obligations (collectively, "CDOs")~~CLOs that are not consolidated. The assets and liabilities of these ~~CDOs~~CLOs reside in bankruptcy remote, special purpose entities in which the Company has no ownership of, nor holds any notes issued by, the ~~CDOs,~~CLOs, and provides neither recourse nor guarantees. The Company has determined that the investment management fees it receives for serving as collateral manager for these ~~CDOs~~CLOs did not represent a variable interest ~~since~~as (i) the fees the Company earns are compensation for services provided and are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide the investment management services, (ii) the Company does not hold other interests in the ~~CDOs~~CLOs that individually, or in the aggregate, would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the ~~CDOs'~~CLOs' expected losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the ~~CDOs'~~CLOs' expected residual return, and (iii) the investment management arrangement only includes terms, conditions and amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm's length.

The Company has interests in certain other VIEs that the Company does not consolidate as it is not the primary beneficiary since its interest in these entities does not provide the Company with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities' economic performance. At June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the carrying value and maximum risk of loss related to the Company's interest in these VIEs was ~~$27.8~~$25.4 million.

In the second quarter of 2023, total revenues decreased 5.2% to $213.5 million from $225.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of lower average assets under management due to net outflows partially offset by the addition of AlphaSimplex. Operating income decreased $17.6 million to $39.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $56.7 million in the second quarter of 2022, due primarily to the aforementioned lower revenue and increased operating expenses due to the addition of AlphaSimplex.

Investment Management Fees

Investment management fees are earned based on a percentage of assets under management and are paid pursuant to the terms of the respective investment management contracts, which generally require monthly or quarterly payments. Investment management fees decreased by ~~$8.5~~$5.0 million, or ~~4.4%~~2.7%, and $47.4 million, or 12.1%, for the three ~~months ended June 30, 2022,~~ and ~~increased $25.1 million, or 6.8%, for the~~ six months ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior ~~year. The decrease during the three-month period in investment management fees was~~year due primarily to ~~a decrease in~~lower average assets under management, ~~of $1.5 billion, or 0.9%, as well as a lower blended fee rate,~~ partially offset by the addition of ~~Stone Harbor and Westchester assets under management. The increase during the six-month period in investment management fees was due to an increase in~~AlphaSimplex.

~~average assets under management of $17.1 billion, or 10.5%, as a result of the Transactions, partially offset by a lower blended fee rate.~~

Distribution and Service Fees

Distribution and service fees are sales- and asset-based fees earned from open-end funds for marketing and distribution services. Distribution and service fees decreased by ~~$6.3~~$3.0 million, or ~~26.8%~~17.6%, and ~~$6.6~~$8.9 million, or ~~15.1%~~23.9%, for the for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due ~~primarily~~ to lower sales and assets for open-end funds in share classes that have ~~sales-based~~sales- and asset-based distribution and service fees.

Administration and Shareholder Service Fees

Administration and shareholder service fees represent fees earned for fund administration and shareholder services from our U.S. retail funds ~~ETFs,~~ and certain of our closed-end funds. Fund administration and shareholder service fees decreased by ~~$3.9~~$3.7 million, or ~~15.1%~~17.0%, and ~~$2.1~~$9.7 million, or ~~4.4%~~21.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the decrease in average assets under management for our open-end ~~and closed-end~~ funds during the periods as a result of market performance and net outflows.

Other Income and Fees

Other income and fees primarily represent fees related to other fee-earning assets and contingent sales charges earned from investor redemptions of certain shares sold without a front-end sales charge. Other income and fees ~~increased by $0.5 million, or 27.5%,~~remained consistent for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023 compared to the same ~~period~~periods in the prior year. ~~The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to higher redemption income in the period.~~

Annual incentive compensation, which is one of the largest annual operating cash expenditures, is typically paid in the first quarter of the year. In the first quarters of ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, we paid ~~$151.6~~$142.1 million and ~~$96.9~~$151.6 million, respectively, in incentive compensation earned during the years ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

In addition to operating activities, other uses of cash could include: (i) investments in organic growth, including seeding or launching new products and expanding distribution; (ii) debt principal payments through scheduled amortization, excess cash flow payment requirements or additional paydowns; (iii) dividend payments to common stockholders; (iv) repurchases of our common stock, or withholding obligations for the net settlement of employee share transactions; (v) investments in our infrastructure; (vi) investments in inorganic growth opportunities that may require upfront and/or future payments; (vii) integration costs, including restructuring and severance, related to acquisitions, if any; and (viii) purchases of affiliate ~~noncontrolling~~equity interests.

Capital and Reserve Requirements

We operate an SEC registered broker-dealer subsidiary that is subject to certain rules regarding minimum net capital. The broker-dealer is required to maintain a ratio of "aggregate indebtedness" to "net capital," as defined, which may not exceed 15 to 1 and must also maintain a minimum amount of net capital. Failure to meet these requirements could result in adverse consequences to us, including additional reporting requirements, a lower required ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, or interruption of our business. At June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital of our broker-dealer was below the maximum allowed, and net capital was significantly greater than the required minimum.
