This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations, or forecasts, of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on our views, plans, estimates, and expectations. Potentially inaccurate assumptions could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2017. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Quarterly Report, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
our ability to respond to global economic, market, business and geopolitical conditions;
our anticipated future results of operations and operating cash flows;
our successful formulation and execution of business strategies and investment policies;
our financing plans and the availability of short- or long-term borrowing, or equity financing;
our competitive position and the effects of competition on our business;
our ability to identify and capture potential growth opportunities available to us;
the effective recruitment and retention of our key executives and employees;
our expected levels of compensation for our employees;
our potential operating performance, achievements, efficiency, and cost reduction efforts;
our expected tax rate;
changes in interest rates;
our expectations with respect to the economy, capital markets, the market for asset management services, and other industry trends; and
the impact of future legislation and regulation, and changes in existing legislation and regulation, on our business.
The reports that we file with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, identify additional factors that can affect forward-looking statements.

Basis of Presentation:
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and related Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations.
Principles of Consolidation:
The Company’s policy is to consolidate those entities in which it has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either the voting interest model or the variable interest model. As such, the Company consolidates majority-owned subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, and certain investment vehicles the operating company sponsors for which it is the investment adviser that are considered to be variable-interest entities (“VIEs”), and for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.
Pursuant to the
Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), for legal entities evaluated for consolidation, the Company determines whether interests it holds and fees paid to the entity qualify as a variable interest. If it is determined that the Company does not have a variable interest in the entity, no further analysis is required and the Company does not consolidate the entity. If it is determined that the Company has a variable interest, it considers its direct economic interests and the proportionate indirect interests through related parties to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.6
Pzena Investment Management, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
For equity investments where the Company does not control the investee, and where it is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE, but can exert significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee, the Company follows the equity method of accounting. The evaluation of whether the Company exerts control or significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee requires significant judgment based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each investment. Factors considered in these evaluations may include the type of investment, the legal structure of the investee, the terms of the investment agreement, or other agreements with the investee.
The Company analyzes entities structured as series funds which comply with the requirements included in the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered mutual funds as voting interest entities because the shareholders are deemed to have the ability to direct the activities of the fund that most significantly impact the fund's economic performance.
Consolidated Entities
The Company consolidates the financial results of the operating company and records in its own equity its pro-rata share of transactions that impact the operating company’s net equity, including unit and option issuances, repurchases, and retirements. The operating company’s pro-rata share of such transactions are recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital or non-controlling interests, as applicable, on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
The majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company, through its interest in the operating company, has a controlling financial interest and the VIEs for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary are collectively referred to as “consolidated subsidiaries.” Non-controlling interests recorded on the consolidated financial statements of the Company include the non-controlling interests of the outside investors in each of these entities, as well as those of the operating company. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated through consolidation.
During 2014, the Company provided the initial cash investment for three Pzena mutual funds in an effort to generate an investment performance track record to attract third-party investors. During 2016, the Company provided the initial cash investment for the launch of a fourth Pzena mutual fund: the Pzena Small Cap Value Fund. Due to their series fund structure, registration, and compliance with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, these funds are analyzed for consolidation under the voting interest model. As a result of the Company's initial interests, it consolidated the Pzena Mid Cap Value Fund, Pzena Long/Short Value Fund, Pzena Emerging Markets Value Fund, and Pzena Small Cap Value Fund. On July 11, 2016, due to additional subscriptions into the Pzena Small Cap Value Fund, the Company's ownership decreased to 36.1%. On November 9, 2017 and December 21, 2017, due to additional subscriptions into the Pzena Mid Cap Value Fund and Pzena Long/Short Value Fund, respectively, the Company's ownership decreased to 41.7% and 35.5%, respectively. As the entityCompany was no longer deemed to control the fund,funds, the Company deconsolidated the entity,entities, removed the related assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest from its balance sheet and classified the Company's remaining investmentinvestments as an equity method investment. Upon adoption of ASU No. 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016, the Company was deemed to not have a controlling interest in the Pzena Emerging Markets Value Fund. The Pzena Mid Cap Value Fund and Pzena Long/Short Value Fund will continue to be consolidated to the extent the Company has a majority ownership interest in them. At September 30, 2017, the aggregate of these funds' $12.5 million in net assets was included in the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition.
The operating company is the managing member of Pzena International Value Service, a series of Pzena Investment Management International, LLC. The operating company is considered the primary beneficiary of this entity. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, Pzena International Value Service’s $4.9$3.2 million in net assets was included in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition.
These consolidated mutual funds and investment partnerships are investment companies and apply specialized industry accounting for investment companies. The Company has retained this specialized accounting for these mutual funds and investment partnerships pursuant to U.S. GAAP.
Non-Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
VIEs that are not consolidated receive investment management services from the operating company and are generally private investment partnerships sponsored by the operating company. The total net assets of these VIEs was approximately $48.9$200.4 million and $44.3$165.5 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, in order to satisfy certain of the Company's obligations under its deferred compensation programs, the operating company had $2.5 million and $3.2$3.0 million in investments respectively, in certain of these firm-sponsored vehicles, for which the Company was not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company's exposure to risk in the non-consolidated VIEs is generally limited to any equity investment and any uncollected

In MarchMay 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. The Company completed its overall assessment of its revenue streams and review of related contracts potentially affected by the new standard, including base management fees, performance fees, and fulcrum fee arrangements. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that ASU No. 2014-09 did not change the method in which the Company currently recognizes revenue. The Company also completed its evaluation of certain costs related to revenue streams to determine whether such costs should be presented as expenses or contra-revenue. Based on its evaluation, the Company concluded that the classification of fund expense cap reimbursements should change upon adoption. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of the new standard requires the Company to present fund expense cap reimbursements net against Revenue. Prior to adoption, these expense cap reimbursements were presented as a component of General and Administrative Expense. These classification changes resulted in immaterial changes to both revenue and expense. In accordance with the historic method of accounting under ASC Topic 605, Revenue and General and Administrative Expenses would have been higher by $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. As the implementation of the new standard did not impact the measurement or recognition of revenue, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Consistent with the modified retrospective approach, the Company did not adjust prior period amounts for the fund expense cap reimbursement reclassifications noted above. The Company has included additional disclosures associated with the disaggregation of revenue and performance obligations.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, 2016-15, ""Compensation - Stock CompensationStatement of Cash Flows (Topic 718): Improvements230)." This update provides specific guidance on cash flow classification issues, which is intended to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." reduce the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-092016-15 as of January 1, 2017.2018. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash." This standardupdate requires excess tax benefits and tax deficienciesentities to be recordedshow the changes in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of Income Tax Expense when equity awards vest or are settled. The Company is no longer required to delay recognition of an excess tax benefit until it reduces current taxes payable. The standard also requires excess tax benefits to be classified as operating activities along with other income taxtotal cash, flows withincash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the consolidated statementsstatement of cash flows. In addition,The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09 allows entities to make an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of forfeitures expected to occur, as was previously required, or to account for actual forfeitures as they occur. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures.
Management’s Use of Estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Revenue, comprised of advisory fee income, is recognized over the period in which advisory services are provided. Advisory fee income includes management fees that are calculated based on percentages of assets under management (“AUM”), generally billed quarterly, either in arrears or advance, depending on the applicable contractual terms. Advisory fee income also includes performance fees that may be earned by the Company depending on the investment return of the AUM, as well as fulcrum fee arrangements. Performance fee arrangements generally entitle the Company to participate, on a fixed-percentage basis, in any returns generated in excess of an agreed-upon benchmark. The Company’s participation percentage in such return differentials is then multiplied by AUM to determine the performance fees earned. In general, returns are calculated on an annualized basis over the contract’s measurement period, which usually extends to three years.years. Performance fees are generally payable annually or quarterly. Fulcrum fee arrangements require a reduction in the base fee, or allow for a performance fee if the relevant investment strategy underperforms or outperforms, respectively, the agreed-upon benchmark over the contract's measurement period, which extends to three years. Fulcrum fees are generally payable quarterly. Following the preferred method identified in the Revenue Recognition Topic of the FASB ASC, performance fee income is recorded at the conclusion of the contractual performance period, when all contingenciesit is probable that significant reversal of the performance fee will not occur. Upon adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 on January 1, 2018, advisory fee income also includes fund expense cap reimbursements which are resolved. Forrequired to be presented net against Revenue rather than as a component of General and Administrative Expense.

If no reported equity sales occurred on the valuation date, equity investments are valued at the bid price. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.
The net realized gain or loss on sales of equity securities and securities sold short is determined on a specific identification basis and is included in Net Realized and Unrealized (Losses)/ Gains from Investments in the consolidated statements of operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, and cash equivalents, amounts due from brokers, and advisory fees receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposits and other accounts whose balances often exceed federally insured limits.
The concentration of credit risk with respect to advisory fees receivable is generally limited due to the short payment terms extended to clients by the Company. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its advisory fees receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, if necessary, based on a history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. For both the three and ninesix months ended
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, except for leasehold improvements, which range from
three to sevenBusiness Segments:
The Company views its operations as comprising
one operating segment.Income Taxes:
The Company is a “C” corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and thus liable for federal, state, and local taxes on the income derived from its economic interest in its operating company. The operating company is a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes. It has not made a provision for federal or state income taxes because it is the individual responsibility of each of the operating company’s members (including the Company) to separately report their proportionate share of the operating company’s taxable income or loss. The operating company has made a provision for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax (“UBT”) and its consolidated subsidiary Pzena Investment Management, LTD has made a provision for U.K. income taxes. The effective tax rate for interim periods represents the Company’s best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applied to the full fiscal year, adjusted for discrete items recognized during the quarter.
Judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company establishes liabilities for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These liabilities are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite its belief that its tax return positions are in accordance with applicable tax laws. The Company adjusts these liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, new tax legislation or the change of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will

Pzena Investment Management, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries account for all U.S. federal, state, local, and U.K. taxation pursuant to the asset and liability method, which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be recorded for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more-likely-than-not to be realized. At SeptemberJune 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017,, the Company did notnot have a valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets.
The income tax expense, or benefit, is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company records its deferred tax liabilities as a component of other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Tax Receivable Agreement:
The Company’s purchase of membership units of the operating company concurrent with the initial public offering, and the subsequent and future exchanges by holders of Class B units of the operating company for shares of Class A common stock (pursuant to the exchange rights provided for in the operating company’s operating agreement), have resulted in, and are expected to continue to result in, increases in the Company’s share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the operating company, which will increase the tax depreciation and amortization deductions that otherwise would not have been available to the Company. These increases in tax basis and tax depreciation and amortization are each deductible for tax purposes over a period of 15 years and have reduced, and are expected to continue to reduce, the amount of cash taxes that the Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future. The Company has entered into a tax receivable agreement with past, current, and future members of the operating company that requires the Company to pay to any member involved in any exchange transaction 85% of the amount of cash tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or foreign or franchise tax that it realizes as a result of these increases in tax basis and, in limited cases, transfers or prior increases in tax basis. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of cash tax savings, if any, in income tax it realizes. Payments under the tax receivable agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that the Company will determine. The Company will not be reimbursed for any payments previously made under the tax receivable agreement if a tax basis increase is successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Company records an increase in deferred tax assets for the estimated income tax effects of the increases in tax basis based on enacted federal and state tax rates at the date of the exchange. The Company records 85% of the estimated realizable tax benefit (which is the recorded deferred tax asset less any recorded valuation allowance) as an increase to the liability due under the tax receivable agreement, which is reflected as the liability to selling and converting shareholders in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The remaining 15% of the estimated realizable tax benefit is initially recorded as an increase to the Company’s additional paid-in capital. All of the effects to the deferred tax asset of changes in any of the estimates after the tax year of the exchange will be reflected in the provision for income taxes. Similarly, the effect of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates will be reflected in the provision for income taxes.
If the Company exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement early, the Company will be obligated to make an early termination payment to the selling and converting shareholders, based upon the net present value (based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the tax receivable agreement) of all payments that would be required to be paid by the Company under the tax receivable agreement. If certain change of control events were to occur, the Company would be obligated to make an early termination payment.
Foreign Currency:
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the applicable reporting date, and the consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. A charge or credit is recorded to other comprehensive income/ (loss)/ income to reflect the translation of these amounts to the extent the non-U.S. currency is designated the functional currency of the subsidiary. Non-functional currency related transaction gains and losses are immediately recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. For both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018, the Company recorded $0.1 million of other comprehensive loss associated with foreign currency translation adjustments. For the
12
Pzena Investment Management, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
three and 2016,six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of other comprehensive income associated with foreign currency translation adjustments.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into U.S. Dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, are remeasured into U.S. Dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Company does not isolate the portion of the results of its operations resulting from the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on its non-U.S. investments. Such fluctuations are included in Net Realized and Unrealized (Losses)/ Gains from Investments in the consolidated statements of operations.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, foreign withholding taxes, and other receivables and payables recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)." This new guidance requires the use of an “expected loss” model, rather than an “incurred loss” model, for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and also requires companies to record allowances for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount. The guidance is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. The guidance should be applied using a retrospective approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard, however, does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "
Leases (Topic 842)." This amended standard was written to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosure. Accounting guidance for lessors is largely unchanged. This guidance is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements. The standard is expected to result in an increase in total assets and total liabilities but will not have a significant impact on the consolidated statement of operations.Compensation and benefits expense to employees and members is comprised of the following:

The operating company has a Profit Sharing and Savings Plan for the benefit of substantially all employees. The Profit Sharing and Savings Plan is a defined contribution profit sharing plan with a 401(k) deferral component. All full-time employees and certain part-time employees who have met the age and length of service requirements are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan allows participating employees to make elective deferrals of compensation up to the annual limits which are set by law. The plan provides for a discretionary annual contribution by the operating company which is determined by a formula based on the salaries of eligible employees as defined by the plan. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the expense recognized in connection with this plan was $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the expense recognized in connection with this plan was $0.2$0.1 million and $0.7$0.8 million, respectively.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income attributable to its common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.
Under the two-class method of computing basic earnings per share, basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for basic earnings per share by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method includes an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each participating security according to dividends declared and undistributed earnings for the period. The Company’s net income for basic earnings per share is reduced by the amount allocated to participating restricted shares of Class A common stock which participate for purposes of calculating earnings per share.

Certain unvested shares of Class A common stock granted to employees have nonforfeitable rights to dividends and therefore participate fully in the results of the Company from the date they are granted. They are included in the computation of basic earnings per share using the two-class method for participating securities. |
Diluted earnings per share adjusts this calculation to reflect the impact of all outstanding membership units of the operating company, phantom Class B units, phantom Delayed Exchange Class B units, phantom Class A common stock, outstanding options to purchase Class B unitunits, options to purchase Delayed Exchange Class B units, options to purchase Class A common stock, and restricted Class A common stock, to the extent they would have a dilutive effect on net income per share for the reporting period. Net income for diluted earnings per share assumes that all outstanding operating company membership units are converted into Company stock at the beginning of the reporting period and the resulting change to the Company's net income associated with its increased interest in the operating company is taxed at the Company’s effective tax rate, exclusive of one-time charges and adjustments associated with both the valuation allowance and the liability to selling and converting shareholders and other one-time charges.

Under the two-class method of computing diluted earnings per share, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for diluted earnings per share by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of any potential common shares outstanding during the period using the more dilutive of the treasury method or two-class method. The two-class method includes an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each participating security according to dividends declared and undistributed earnings for the period. The Company’s net income for diluted earnings per share is reduced by the amount allocated to participating restricted Class B units for purposes of calculating earnings per share. Dividend equivalent distributions paid per share on the operating company’s unvested restricted Class B units are equal to the dividends paid per Company Class A common stock.

Certain restricted shares of Class A common stock granted to employees are not entitled to dividend or dividend equivalent payments until they are vested and are therefore non-participating securities and are not included in the computation of basic earnings per share. They are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the effect is dilutive using the treasury stock method. |

Unvested Class B Units granted to employees have nonforfeitable rights to dividend equivalent distributions and therefore participate fully in the results of the operating company's operations from the date they are granted. They are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for participating securities. |
Approximately 0.7 million options to purchase Class B units, 0.1 million options to purchase shares of Class A common stock and 2.0 million contingent options to purchase shares of Class A common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018, as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect based on current market prices or because the option had contingent vesting requirements that were not met. Approximately 0.4 million and 0.3 million options to purchase Class B units were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect based on current market prices. Approximately 0.7 million options to purchase Class B units, 0.1 million options to purchase shares of Class A common stock, and 3.0 million contingent options to purchase shares of Class A common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect based on current market prices or because the option had contingent vesting requirements that were not met.

Note 9—Fair Value Measurements
The
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability. Classification within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation hierarchy contains three levels: (i) valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1); (ii) valuation inputs are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other observable inputs directly or indirectly related to the asset or liability being measured (Level 2); and (iii) valuation inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (Level 3).Included in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition are investments in equity securities, and securities sold short, both of which are exchange-traded securities with quoted prices in active markets. The fair value measurements of the equity securities securities sold short, have been classified as Level 1. The investments in equity method investees are held at their carrying value.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties, such as engagement letters with advisers and consultants. In certain cases, the Company may have recourse against third parties with respect to these indemnities. The Company maintains insurance policies that may provide coverage against certain claims under these indemnities. The Company has had no claims or payments pursuant to these agreements, and it believes the likelihood of a claim being made is remote. Utilizing the methodology in the Guarantees Topic of the FASB ASC, the Company’s estimate of the value of such guarantees is de minimis, therefore, no accrual has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company leases office space under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement, which expires on December 31, 2025. The Company recognizes minimum lease expense for its headquarters on a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company terminated its five-year sublease agreement which commenced on May 1, 2015.
The Company entered into a new four-year sublease agreement commencing on October 1, 2016 that is cancelable by either the Company or sublessee given appropriate notice after the thirty-first month following the commencement of the sublease agreement. The sublease agreement is for certain office space associated with the Company's operating lease agreement in its corporate headquarters. Sublease income will continue to decrease annual lease expense by approximately $0.4 million per year.During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, lease expenses were $0.5 million and $1.6$1.0 million, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expense. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, lease expenses were $0.5 million and $1.4$1.0 million, respectively. This lease expense includes expenses associated with the Company's office spaces in the U.K. and Australia. Lease expenses for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 were net of $0.1 million and $0.3$0.2 million of sublease income, respectively. Lease expenses for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 were net of $0.1 million and $0.3$0.2 million of sublease income, respectively.
Note 13—Income Taxes
The operating company is a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The Company's provision for income taxes reflects U.S. federal, state, and local incomes taxes on its allocable portion of the operating company's income. The Company's effective tax rate for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 and 2017 was 11.1% and 2016 was 12.5% and 8.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that approximately 74.7%74.2% and 76.5%74.7% of the operating company's earnings were not subject to corporate-level taxes for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. Income before income taxes includes net income attributable to non-controlling interests and not taxable to the Company, which reduces the effective tax rate. This favorable impact is partially offset by the impact of certain permanently non-deductible items. Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, included $1.7 million in income tax benefit associated with changes in the valuation allowance recorded against the Company's deferred tax asset. No changes in the realizability of the deferred tax asset were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
The
Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax return positions in financial statements.As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company had $4.1$5.8 million and $2.8$4.7 million in unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the provision for income taxes. As of both SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company had interest related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.4 million.$0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, no penalty accruals were recorded.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the net values of all deferred tax assets were approximately $70.4$37.0 million and $73.4$39.6 million, respectively. These deferred tax assets primarily reflect the future tax benefits associated with the Company's initial public offering, and the subsequent and future exchanges by holders of Class B units of the operating company for shares of Class A common stock. At SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company did not have a valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets.

Overview
We are an investment management firm that utilizes a classic value investment approach across all of our investment strategies. We currently manage assets in a variety of value-oriented investment strategies across a wide range of market capitalizations in both U.S. and non-U.S. capital markets. At
We function as the sole managing member of our operating company, Pzena Investment Management, LLC (the “operating company”). As a result, we: (i) consolidate the financial results of our operating company with our own, and reflect the membership interest in it that we do not own as a non-controlling interest in our consolidated financial statements; and (ii) recognize income generated from our economic interest in our operating company’s net income. As of
The Company also serves as the general partner of Pzena Investment Management, LP, a partnership formed with the objective of aggregating employee ownership in one entity.
Certain of our named executive officers and employees have interests in Pzena Investment Management, LP and certain estate planning vehicles through which they indirectly own Class B units of our operating company. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, through direct and indirect interests, our five named executive officers; 3840 other employee members; and certain other members of our operating company, including one of our directors, his related entities, and certain former employees, collectively held 50.5%50.1%, 4.7%5.2%, and 19.6%19.4% of the economic interests in our operating company, respectively.
Net Income

In evaluating our financial condition and results for the
Net income for diluted earnings per share generally assumes all operating company membership units are converted into Company stock at the beginning of the reporting period, and the resulting change to our net income associated with our increased interest in the operating company is taxed at our historical effective tax rate, exclusive of the adjustments related to changes in the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset and other discrete and permanently non-deductible items.

Revenue
We generate revenue primarily from management fees and performance fees, which we collectively refer to as our advisory fees, by managing assets on behalf of institutionalour separately managed and sub-advised accounts, and for retail clients, which are generally open-end mutual funds catering primarily to retail investors.as well as our Pzena funds. Our advisory fee income is primarily based on our AUM, as discussed below, and recognized over the period in which investment management services are provided. FollowingIn accordance with the preferred method identified in the
25
Our advisory fees are primarily driven by the level of our AUM. Our AUM increases or decreases with the net inflows or outflows of funds into our various investment strategies and with the investment performance thereof. In order to increase our AUM and expand our business, we must develop and market investment strategies that suit the investment needs of our target clients, and provide attractive returns over the long term. The value and composition of our AUM, and our ability to continue to attract clients depends on a variety of factors as described in "Item 1 — Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — Our primary source of revenue is derived from management fees, which are directly tied to the levels of our assets under management. Fluctuations in AUM therefore will directly impact our revenue" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
For our institutionalseparately managed accounts, we are paid fees according to a schedule, which varies by investment strategy. The substantial majority of these accounts pay us management fees pursuant to a schedule by which the rate we earn on the AUM declines as the amount of AUM increases.
Pursuant to our sub-investment advisory agreements with our retail clients and advisory agreements with Pzena branded funds, we are generally paid a management fee according to a schedule in which the rate we earn on the AUM declines as the amount of AUM increases. Certain of these funds pay us fixed-rate management fees. Due to the substantially larger account
Advisory fees we earn on institutionalseparately managed accounts are generally based on the value of AUM at a specific date on a quarterly basis. Certain of our institutionalseparately managed accounts, and all of our retailsub-advised accounts, are calculated based on the average of the monthly or daily market value. Advisory fees are also generally adjusted for any cash flows into or out of a portfolio, where the cash flow represents greater than 10% of the value of the portfolio. While a specific group of accounts may use the same fee rate, the calculation methodology may differ as described above.
Certain of our clients pay us performance fees according to the performance of their accounts relative to certain agreed-upon benchmarks, which results in a lower base fee, but allows for us to earn higher fees if the relevant investment strategy outperforms the agreed-upon benchmark. Some performance-based fee arrangements include high-water mark provisions, which generally provide that if a client account underperforms relative to its performance target, it must gain back such underperformance before we can collect future performance-based fees. Fulcrum fee arrangements require a reduction in the base fee, or allow for a performance fee if the relevant investment strategy underperforms or outperforms, respectively, the agreed-upon benchmark.
Our advisory fees may fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the following:
changes in AUM due to appreciation or depreciation of our investment portfolios, and the levels of the contribution and withdrawal of assets by new and existing clients;
distribution of AUM among our investment strategies, which have differing fee schedules;
distribution of AUM between institutionalseparately managed accounts and retailsub-advised accounts, for which we generally earn lower overall advisory fees; and
the level of our performance with respect to accounts on which we are paid performance fees or have fulcrum fee arrangements.
Expenses
Our expenses consist primarily of Compensation and Benefits Expense, as well as General and Administrative Expense. Our largest expense is Compensation and Benefits, which includes the salaries, bonuses, equity-based compensation, and related benefits and payroll costs attributable to our employee members and employees. Compensation and benefits packages are benchmarked against relevant industry and geographic peer groups in order to attract and retain qualified personnel. General and Administrative Expense includes lease expenses, professional and outside services fees, depreciation, the costs associated with operating and maintaining our research, trading and portfolio accounting systems, the costs associated with being a public company, and other expenses. Our occupancy-related costs and professional services expenses, in particular, generally increase or decrease in relative proportion to the overall size and scale of our business operations.
variations in the level of total compensation expense due to, among other things, bonuses, awards of equity to our employees and employee members of our operating company, changes in our employee count and mix, and competitive factors; and
general and administrative expenses, such as rent, professional service fees and data-related costs, incurred, as necessary, to run our business.
Other (Expense)/ Income
Other (Expense)/ Income is derived primarily from investment income or loss arising from our consolidated entities,subsidiaries, income or loss generated by our investments, and interest income generated on our cash balances. Other (Expense)/ Income is also affected by changes in our estimates of the liability due to our selling and converting shareholders associated with payments owed to them under the tax receivable agreement, which was executed in connection with our reorganization and initial public offering on October 30, 2007. As discussed further below under “Tax Receivable Agreement,” this liability represents 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local income tax that we realize as a result of the amortization of the increases in tax basis generated from our acquisitions of our operating company’s units from our selling and converting shareholders. We expect the interest and investment components of Other (Expense)/ Income, in the aggregate, to fluctuate based on market conditions and the performance of our consolidated entities and other investments.
Non-Controlling Interests
We are the sole managing member of our operating company and control its business and affairs and, therefore, consolidate its financial results with ours. In light of our employees’ and outside investors’ direct and indirect interests in our operating company, we have reflected their membership interests as non-controlling interest in our consolidated financial statements.

Average assets in retailsub-advised accounts increased $3.8$3.6 billion to $15.2$21.5 billion for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, from $11.4$17.9 billion for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and had weighted average fees of 0.279%0.303% and 0.227%0.294% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. The increase in retailsub-advised weighted average fee rates primarily reflects an increase in performance fees recognized during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.
Average assets in Pzena funds increased $0.5 billion to $1.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018, from $1.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and had weighted average fees of 0.624% and 0.666% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in Pzena funds weighted average fee rate reflects the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, which requires fund expense cap reimbursements to be presented net against revenue. The Company adopted the new revenue recognition standard as well asof January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach, and thus prior periods have not been restated. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition presentation change, the weighted average fee rate for Pzena funds was 0.676% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, increasing from 0.666% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 which reflects an increase in assets in non-U.S. strategies that generally carry higher fee rates. We did not recognize any performance fees during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $0.6 million recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, a $0.7 million reduction in base fees related to fulcrum fee arrangements was recognized. A reduction in base fees was not recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2017 due to improved relative performance, contributing to the increase in weighted average fee rate.

This change was driven primarily by an increase in our average AUM due to market appreciation and net inflows. Average AUM increased 25.7%19.7% to $32.8$38.3 billion from $26.1$32.0 billion for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively.

The increase in retailsub-advised weighted average fee rates primarily reflects an increase in retail performance fees. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a $0.7 million reduction in base fees related to fulcrum fee arrangements was recognized. A reduction in base fees was not recognized during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.

The operating company is a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The Company's provision for income taxes reflects its U.S. federal, state, and local incomes taxes on its allocable portion of the operating company's income. The effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that approximately 74.7%74.2% and 76.5%74.7% of the operating company's earnings were not subject to corporate-level taxes for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. Income before income taxes includes net income attributable to non-controlling interests and not taxable to the Company, which reduces the effective tax rate. This favorable impact is partially offset by the impact of certain permanently non-deductible items. These factors are expected to continue to impact the effective tax rate for future years, although as the Company's economic interest in the operating company increases, the effective tax rate will likewise increase as more income will be subject to corporate-level taxes. The effective tax rate will also be affected by the discrete tax impact of future dividends on unvested share-based awards and future vesting of restricted share-based awards based on fluctuations in the trading price of the Company's Class A common stock between grant date and vesting date.
Excluding discrete and permanently non-deductible items, such aswhich includes the net income attributable to non-controlling interest, the Company's effective tax rate was 36.7%24.2% for each of the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, and 36.9%36.8% for each of the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.
Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and SeptemberJune 30, 2016
Income Tax Expense was $2.5$2.2 million and $0.5 million for both the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 2016, respectively.2017. Income tax expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 consisted of $0.8 million in operating company unincorporated and other business taxes and $1.3 million of corporate income taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 consisted of $0.7 million in operating company unincorporated and other business taxes and $1.7$1.6 million of corporate income taxes.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017
Income Tax Expense was $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 consisted of $1.6 million in operating company unincorporated and other business taxes and of $2.8 million of corporate income taxes. Income tax expense for the threesix months ended September 30, 2016 consisted of $0.8 million in operating company unincorporated and other business taxes, $1.1 million of corporate income taxes, and a $1.4 million benefit associated with a decrease in the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax asset. No changes in the realizability of the deferred tax asset were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
Three Months Ended
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $14.2$13.9 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, and consisted primarily of $14.0$13.9 million associated with our employees’ and outside investors’ approximately 74.8%74.4% weighted average interest in the income of the operating company. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and consisted of $12.4 million associated with our employees’ and outside investors’ approximately 74.7% weighted average interest in the income of the operating company and $0.2$0.1 million associated with the non-controlling interest in the income of our consolidated subsidiaries. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and consisted of $9.5 million associated with our employees’ and outside investors’ approximately 75.6% weighted average interest in the income of the operating company and $0.2 million associated with non-controlling interest in the income of our consolidated subsidiaries.entities. The change in net income attributable to non-controlling interests primarily reflects the increase in net income for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018, partially offset by the decrease
36
in our employees’ and outside investors’ weighted average interest in the income of the operating company. We expect the interests in our operating company in subsequent periods to depend on changes in our shareholder’s equity and the size and composition of Class B units awarded by our operating company’s compensation plans.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $28.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and consisted primarily of $28.0 million associated with our employees’ and outside investors’ approximately 74.2% weighted average interest in the income of the operating company. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and consisted of $22.5 million associated with our employees’ and outside investors’ approximately 74.7% weighted average interest in the income of the operating company and $0.4 million associated with the non-controlling interest in the losses of our consolidated entities. The change in net income attributable to non-controlling interests primarily reflects the increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018, partially offset by the decrease in our employees’ and outside investors’ weighted average interest in the income of the operating company. We expect the interests in our operating company in subsequent periods to depend on changes in our shareholder’s equity and the size and composition of Class B units awarded by our operating company’s compensation plans.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the working capital needs of our business have primarily been met through the cash generated by our operations. Distributions to members of our operating company are our largest use of cash. Other activities include purchases and sales of investments to fund our deferred compensation program, capital expenditures, and supporting strategic growth initiatives such as providing the initial cash investment in our mutual funds.
We expect to fund the liquidity needs of our business in the next twelve months, and over the long term, primarily through cash generated from operations. As an investment management company, our business is materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. Our liquidity is highly dependent on the revenue and income from our operations, which is directly related to our levels of AUM. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, our average AUM and revenues increased by 28.4%15.3% and 34.2%12.4%, respectively, compared to our average AUM and revenues for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, cash and cash equivalents was $47.9$52.5 million, inclusive of $5.0$4.2 million in cash held by our consolidated subsidiaries. Advisory fees receivable was $31.9$33.7 million. We also had approximately $10.6$11.2 million in investments set aside to satisfy our obligations under our deferred compensation programs.
In determining the sufficiency of liquidity and capital resources to fund our business, we regularly monitor our liquidity position, including, among other things, cash, working capital, investments, long-term liabilities, lease commitments, and operating company distributions. Compensation is our largest expense. To the extent we deem necessary and appropriate to run our business, recognizing the need to retain our key personnel, we have the ability to change the absolute levels of our compensation packages, as well as change the mix of their cash and non-cash components. Historically, we have not tied our level of compensation directly to revenue, as many Wall Street firms do. Correspondingly, there is not a linear relationship between our compensation and the revenues we generate. This generally has the effect of increasing operating margins in periods of increased revenues, but can reduce operating margins when revenue declines.
We regularly evaluate our staffing requirements and compensation levels with reference to our own liquidity position and external peer benchmarking data. The result of this review directly influences management’s recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to such staffing and compensation levels.
We anticipate that tax allocations and dividend equivalent payments to the members of our operating company, which consist of certain of our employees, unaffiliated persons, former employees, and us, will continue to be a material financing activity. Cash distributions to operating company members for partnership tax allocations would increase should the taxable income of the operating company increase. Dividend equivalent payments will depend on our dividend policy and the discretion of our Board of Directors, as discussed below.
We believe that our lack of long-term debt, and ability to vary cash compensation levels, have provided us with an appropriate degree of flexibility in providing for our liquidity needs.
We are a holding company and our primary investment is our ownership of membership interests in our operating company. As a result, we depend upon distributions from our operating company to pay any dividends that our Board of Directors may declare to be paid to our Class A common stockholders. When, and if, our Board of Directors declares any such dividends, we then cause our operating company to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover the dividends declared. Our dividend policy has certain risks and limitations, particularly with respect to liquidity. We may not pay dividends to our Class A common shareholders in amounts that have been paid to them in the past, or at all, if, among other things, we do not have the cash necessary to pay our intended dividends. To the extent we do not have cash on hand sufficient to pay dividends in the future, we may decide not to pay dividends. By paying cash dividends rather than investing that cash in our future growth, we risk slowing the pace of our growth, or not having a sufficient amount of cash to fund our operations or unanticipated capital expenditures, should the need arise.
On an annual basis, our Board of Directors has targetedtargets a cash dividend payout ratio of approximately 70%60% to 80%70% of our non-GAAP diluted net income, subject to growth initiatives and other funding needs. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to the Board of Directors’ discretion and may be limited by our holding company structure and applicable provisions of Delaware law.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Our purchase of membership units of our operating company concurrent with our initial public offering, and the subsequent and future exchanges by holders of Class B units of our operating company for shares of our Class A common stock (pursuant to the exchange rights provided for in the operating company’s operating agreement), has resulted in, and is expected to continue to result in, increases in our share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of our operating company, which will increase the tax depreciation and amortization deductions that otherwise would not have been available to us. These increases in tax basis and tax depreciation and amortization deductions have reduced, and are expected to continue to reduce, the amount of cash taxes that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future. We entered into a tax receivable agreement with the current members of our operating company, the one member of our operating company immediately prior to our initial public offering who sold all membership units to us in connection with our initial public offering and any future holders of Class B units. This tax receivable agreement requires us to pay these members 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that we actually realize (or are deemed to realize in the case of an early termination payment by us, or a change in control, as described in the tax receivable agreement) as a result of the increases in tax basis described above and certain other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.
Cash Flows
Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and SeptemberJune 30, 2016
Cash and restricted cash equivalents increased $13.2$25.2 million to $47.9$53.6 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 compared to a $6.2$15.2 million increase in cash and restricted cash equivalents to $31.1$39.0 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.8$33.8 million in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to $14.9$24.2 million provided by operating activities in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The increase in cash provided was primarily due to an increase in net income and changes in operating assets and liabilities, and working capital.
Net cash provided byused in investing activities was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in cash provided byused in investing activities was primarily due to a $0.6$0.1 million increase in net purchases of investments during the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $8.4 million from $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in cash used is primarily due a $5.1 million increase in cash received for the purchase of Delayed Exchange Class B Units, partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in net distributions from non-controlling interests and a $1.6 million increase in the repurchase and retirement of shares of Class A common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $0.8 million from $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Contractual Obligations
The lease for our former corporate headquarters expired in October 2015. We entered into an 11-year lease agreement in June 2014, the term of which commenced in October 2014. Annual minimum rent during the term is approximately $2.0 million. During the third quarter of 2016, we terminated a five-year sublease agreement which commenced on May 1, 2015. We entered into a new four-year sublease agreement commencing on October 1, 2016, which is cancelable by either the Company or sublessee given appropriate notice after the thirty-first month following the commencement of the sublease agreement. Sublease income decreases annual lease expense by approximately $0.4 million per year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Accounting policies are an integral part of our financial statements. A thorough understanding of these accounting policies is essential when reviewing our reported results of operations and our financial condition. Management believes that the critical accounting policies discussed below involve additional management judgment due to the sensitivity of the methods and assumptions used.
Consolidation
Our policy is to consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest and variable-interest entities of which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. We assess our consolidation practices regularly, as circumstances dictate. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Income Taxes
We are a “C” corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and thus liable for federal, state and local taxes on the income derived from our economic interest in our operating company. The operating company is a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes. Our operating company has not made a provision for federal or state
39
income taxes because it is the responsibility of each of the operating company’s members (including us) to separately report their proportionate share of the operating company’s taxable income or loss. Similarly, the income of our consolidated subsidiaries is not subject to income taxes, as such income is allocated to each partnership’s individual partners. The operating company has made a provision for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax.
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. A valuation allowance is recorded on our deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of such assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of our deferred tax assets, all evidence, both positive and negative, is evaluated, which requires management to make significant judgments and assumptions. Items considered when evaluating the need for a valuation allowance include our forecast of future taxable income, future reversals of existing temporary differences, tax planning strategies and other relevant considerations.
We believe that the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions can change from period to period. For example, tax law changes, or variances in future projected operating performance, could result in a change in the valuation allowance. If we are not able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to our deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be charged to income tax expense in the period such determination was made.
Management's judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, evaluating our tax positions and establishing deferred tax assets and liabilities. The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. If the ultimate resolution of uncertainties is different from currently estimated, it could affect income tax expense and the effective tax rate.

Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk is directly related to our role as investment adviser for the institutional separate accounts we manage and the retail clients for which we act as sub-investment adviser.
Our revenue for the
three andThe value of our AUM was $35.4$36.9 billion as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. A 10% increase or decrease in the value of our AUM, if proportionately distributed over all of our investment strategies, products, and client relationships, would cause an annualized increase or decrease in our revenues of approximately $14.5$14.7 million at our current weighted average fee rate excluding the impact of performance fees and fulcrum fees of 0.410%0.398%. There are differences in our fee rates across distribution channels, investment strategies and the size of client relationships. As such, a change in the composition of our AUM, in particular an increase in the proportion of our total assets under management attributable to strategies, clients or relationships with lower effective fee rates, could have a material negative impact on our overall weighted average fee rates and thus different impact to revenues on the same 10% increase or decrease in the value of our AUM.
We are also subject to market risk due to a decline in the value of the our holdings and the holdings of our consolidated subsidiaries, which, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, consist primarily of marketable securities and investments in equity method investees, and securities sold short.investees. At

A substantial portion of the accounts that we advise, or sub-advise, hold investments that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. Dollar and the underlying foreign currency affect the values of assets held in accounts that we manage, thereby affecting the amount of revenues we earn. The value of our AUM was $35.4$36.9 billion as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and approximately 36%35% of our assets under management across our investment strategies were invested in strategies that primarily invest in securities of non-U.S. companies and approximately 42% of our assets under management were invested in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. To the extent our assets under management are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, the value of those assets under management will decrease with an increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar, or increase with a decrease in the value of the U.S. Dollar. Because we believe that many of our clients invest in those strategies in order to gain exposure to non-U.S. currencies, or may implement their own hedging programs, we do not hedge an investment portfolio’s exposure to a non-U.S. currency.
We have not adopted a corporate-level risk management policy to manage this exchange rate risk. Assuming that 42% of our assets under management is invested in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, a 10% increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. Dollar would decrease or increase the fair value of our assets under management by $1.6$1.7 billion, which would cause an annualized increase or decrease in revenues of approximately $6.4$6.8 million at our current weighted average fee rate excluding the impact of performance fees and fulcrum fees of 0.410%0.398%.
We operate in several foreign countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia. We incur operating expenses and have foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities associated with these operations, although our revenues are predominately realized in U.S. Dollar. We do not believe that foreign currency fluctuations materially affect our results of operations and, as such, have not adopted a corporate-level risk management policy to manage this exchange rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, our $47.9$52.5 million in cash and cash equivalents was primarily held in demand deposit accounts. As such, interest rate changes would not have a material impact on the income we earn from these deposits. Since the Company does not have any debt that bears interest at a variable rate, it did not have any direct exposure to interest rate risk at
