Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of such consolidated financial statements have been included. Such interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year results.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and accordingly they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes.

The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. As a result, the interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in APAM’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and related rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates or assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates or assumptions.

Principles of consolidation

Artisan’s policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries or other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The consolidation guidance requires an analysis to determine if an entity should be evaluated for consolidation using the voting interest entity (“VOE”) model or the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model. Under the VOE model, controlling financial interest is generally defined as a majority ownership of voting interests. Under the VIE model, controlling financial interest is defined as (i) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and (ii) the right to receive potentially significant benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses.

~~Table of Contents~~

Artisan generally consolidates VIEs in which it meets the power criteria and holds an equity ownership interest of greater than 10%. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of APAM and all subsidiaries or other entities in which APAM has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Artisan serves as the investment adviser to Artisan Funds, Artisan Global Funds and Artisan Private Funds. Artisan Funds and Artisan Global Funds are corporate entities for which the business and affairs ~~of which~~ are managed by their respective boards of directors. The shareholders of the funds retain voting rights, including rights to elect and reelect members of their respective boards of directors. Each series of Artisan Funds is a VOE and is separately evaluated for consolidation under the VOE model. The shareholders of Artisan Global Funds lack simple majority liquidation rights, and as a result, each sub-fund of Artisan Global Funds is evaluated for consolidation under the VIE model. Artisan Private Funds are also evaluated for consolidation under the VIE model because third-party equity holders of the funds generally lack the ability to divest Artisan of its control of the funds.

From time to time, the Company makes investments in Artisan Funds, Artisan Global Funds, and Artisan Private Funds. If the investment results in a controlling financial interest, APAM consolidates the fund, and the underlying activity of the entire fund is included in Artisan’s ~~Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.~~unaudited consolidated financial statements. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, Artisan had a controlling financial interest in 2 series of Artisan Funds, 3 sub-funds of Artisan Global Funds, and 2 Artisan Private Funds and, as a result, these funds are included in Artisan’s ~~Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.~~unaudited consolidated financial statements. Because these consolidated investment products meet the definition of investment companies under U.S. GAAP, Artisan has retained the specialized industry accounting principles for investment companies in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 6, “Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment Products” for additional details.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The table below presents information about Artisan’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and the valuation techniques Artisan utilized to determine such fair value. The financial instruments held by consolidated investment products are excluded from the table below and are presented in Note 6, “Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment ~~Products”.~~Products.”

In accordance with ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that Artisan would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. The following three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value:

•Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical securities.

•Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including but not limited to quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

•Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including Artisan’s own assumptions in determining fair value).

~~Table of Contents~~

The following provides the hierarchy of inputs used to derive fair value of Artisan’s assets and liabilities that are financial instruments as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:


		Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value											Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value

Fair values determined based on Level 1 inputs utilize quoted market prices for identical assets. Level 1 assets generally consist of money market funds, open-end mutual funds and UCITS funds. Equity securities without a fair value level consist of the Company’s investments in Artisan Private Funds, which are measured at the underlying fund’s net asset value (“NAV”), using the ASC 820 practical expedient. The NAV is provided by the fund and is derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the reporting date. Cash maintained in demand deposit accounts is excluded from the table above.

The Series F senior notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.10% and will mature on August 16, 2032.

The fixed interest rate on each series of unsecured notes is subject to a one percentage point increase in the event Holdings receives a below-investment grade rating and any such increase will continue to apply until an investment grade rating is received.

Interest expense incurred on the unsecured notes and revolving credit agreement was ~~$2.6~~$2.5 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, and ~~2020, and $7.7~~$5.1 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

Note 6. Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment Products

Artisan serves as the investment adviser for various types of investment products, consisting of both VIEs and VOEs. Artisan consolidates an investment product if it has a controlling financial interest in the entity. See Note 2, ”Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Any such entities are collectively referred to herein as consolidated investment products or CIPs.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, Artisan is considered to have a controlling financial interest in 2 series of Artisan Funds, 3 sub-funds of Artisan Global Funds and 2 Artisan Private Funds, with an aggregate direct equity investment in the consolidated investment products of ~~$54.5~~$72.6 million.

Artisan’s maximum exposure to loss in connection with the assets and liabilities of CIPs is limited to its direct equity investment, while the potential benefit is limited to the management and performance fees received and the return on its equity investment. With the exception of Artisan’s direct equity investment, the assets of CIPs are not available to Artisan’s creditors, nor are they available to Artisan for general corporate purposes. In addition, third-party investors in the CIPs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Management and performance fees earned from CIPs are eliminated from revenue upon consolidation. See Note 15, “Related Party Transactions” for additional information on management and performance fees earned from CIPs.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company determined that it no longer had a controlling financial interest in one series fund of Artisan ~~Private Fund upon the redemption~~Funds as a result of ~~the Company's seed investment.~~third party capital contributions.

financial condition. There was no net impact to the ~~Unaudited Consolidated Statements~~unaudited consolidated statements of ~~Operations~~operations for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Artisan generally does not recognize a gain or loss upon deconsolidation of investment products ~~because~~as the assets and liabilities of CIPs are carried at fair value. Artisan’s $10.0 million direct equity investment was reclassified from investment assets of consolidated investment products to investment securities.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, Artisan held direct equity investments of ~~$11.1~~$9.4 million in VIEs for which the Company does not hold a controlling financial interest. These direct equity investments consisted of seed investments in sub-funds of Artisan Global Funds and Artisan Private Funds, both of which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting because Artisan has significant influence over the funds.

~~Table of Contents~~

Fair Value Measurements - Consolidated Investment Products

Investments held by CIPs are reflected at fair value. Short and long positions on equity securities are valued based upon closing prices of the security on the exchange or market designated by the accounting agent or pricing vendor as the principal exchange. The closing price may represent last sale price, official closing price, a closing auction or other information depending on market convention. Short and long positions on fixed income instruments are valued at market value. Market values are generally evaluations based on the judgment of pricing vendors, which may consider, among other factors, the prices at which securities actually trade, broker-dealer quotations, pricing formulas, estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics and/or discounted cash flow models that might be applicable. Derivative assets and liabilities are generally comprised of put and call options on securities and indices. Put and call options are valued at the mid price (average of bid price and ask price) as provided by the pricing vendor at the close of trading on the contract's principal exchange. The following tables present the fair value hierarchy levels of assets and liabilities held by CIPs measured at fair value as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

Note 7. Noncontrolling Interests - Holdings

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests - Artisan Partners Holdings in the ~~Unaudited Consolidated Statements~~unaudited consolidated statements of ~~Operations~~operations represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the equity ownership interests in Holdings held by the limited partners of Holdings. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, APAM held approximately ~~83%~~85% of the equity ownership interests in Holdings.

Limited partners of Artisan Partners Holdings are entitled to exchange partnership units (along with a corresponding number of shares of Class B or C common stock of APAM) for shares of Class A common stock from time to time (the “Holdings Common Unit Exchanges”). The Holdings Common Unit Exchanges increase APAM’s equity ownership interest in Holdings and result in an increase to deferred tax assets and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreements. See Note 11, “Income Taxes and Related ~~Payments”.~~Payments.”

In order to maintain the one-to-one correspondence of the number of Holdings partnership units and APAM common shares, Holdings will issue one general partner (“GP”) unit to APAM for each share of Class A common stock issued by APAM. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, APAM’s equity ownership interest in Holdings increased as a result of the following transactions:

2021:

Performance fees are subject to the uncertainty of market volatility, and as a result, the entire amount of the variable consideration related to performance fees is constrained until the end of each measurement period. At the end of the quarterly or annual measurement period, revenue is recorded for the actual amount of performance fees earned during that period because the uncertainty has been resolved. For performance fees with annual measurement periods, revenue recognized in the current quarter relates to performance obligations that were partially satisfied in prior periods.

Incentive compensation

Cash incentive compensation paid to members of Artisan’s investment teams and members of its distribution teams is generally based on formulas that are tied directly to revenues. The majority of this incentive compensation is earned on a quarterly basis and paid in the quarter following the quarter in which the incentive was earned with the exception of fourth quarter ~~payments~~incentives earned which are also paid in the fourth quarter of the year. Cash incentive compensation paid to most other employees is discretionary and subjectively determined based on individual performance and Artisan’s overall results during the applicable year and is generally paid on an annual basis.

Long-term incentive compensation awards consist of both APAM restricted share-based awards and long-term cash awards, which are referred to as franchise capital awards. These awards are described in more detail below.

Restricted share-based awards

Artisan has registered 14,000,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, APAM has granted a combination of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance share units (collectively referred to as “restricted share-based awards” or "awards") of Class A common stock to employees.

Standard Restricted Shares. Standard restricted shares are generally subject to a pro rata five-year service vesting condition.

Career Shares. Career shares are generally subject to both (i) a pro rata five-year service vesting condition and (ii) a qualifying retirement (as defined in the award agreement) condition.

~~Table of Contents~~

Franchise Shares. Like career shares, franchise shares are generally subject to both (i) a pro rata five-year service vesting condition and (ii) a qualifying retirement condition. In addition, franchise shares, which are only granted to investment team members, are subject to a Franchise Protection Clause, which provides that the number of shares that ultimately vest depends on whether certain conditions relating to client cash flows are met. If such conditions are not met, compensation cost will be reversed for any shares that do not vest.

Performance Share Units (PSUs). PSUs are generally subject to (i) a three-year service vesting condition, (ii) certain performance conditions related to the Company's adjusted operating margin and total shareholder return compared to a peer group during a three-year performance period, and (iii) for one-half of the PSUs eligible to vest at the end of the performance period, a qualifying retirement condition. The number of shares of Class A common stock that are ultimately issued in connection with each PSU award will depend upon the outcome of the performance, market and qualified retirement conditions. For the portion of a PSU award with a "performance condition" under ASC 718, expense is recognized over the service period if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

Compensation expense is recognized based on the estimated grant date fair value on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The initial requisite service period is generally five years for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, and three years for performance share units. The fair value of each award is equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date, except for performance share units with a "market condition" performance metric under ASC 718, which have a grant-date fair value based on a Monte Carlo valuation model.

Unvested restricted share-based awards are subject to forfeiture. ~~The Company’s accounting policy is to record the impact of forfeitures when they occur.~~ Grantees are generally entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested and vested awards. ~~3,878,720~~2,957,575 shares of Class A common stock were reserved and available for issuance under the Plan as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, Artisan granted ~~740,249~~787,372 restricted stock awards, ~~1,306~~1,331 restricted stock units, and ~~75,230~~95,940 performance share units of Class A common stock to employees of the Company. Total compensation expense associated with the ~~2021~~2022 grant is expected to be approximately ~~$44.2~~$38.0 million.

The following tables summarize the restricted share-based award activity for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021:~~2022:

Based on the ~~current~~quarter-end status of the market and performance conditions, the ~~135,230~~231,170 unvested performance share units would ultimately result in the issuance of ~~165,233~~309,143 shares of Class A common stock if all other vesting conditions were met.

The unrecognized compensation expense for the unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$85.6~~$91.0 million with a weighted average recognition period of ~~3.4~~3.6 years remaining. The unrecognized compensation expense for the unvested performance share units as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$5.8~~$8.5 million with a weighted average recognition period of ~~3.0~~2.8 years remaining.

~~Table of Contents~~

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company withheld a total of ~~176,194~~185,243 restricted shares and paid ~~or will pay~~ a total of ~~$9.2~~$7.4 million as a result of net share settlements to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations. These net share settlements had the effect of shares repurchased and retired by the Company, as they reduced the number of shares outstanding.

Long-term cash awards (franchise capital awards)

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, Artisan granted ~~$35.0~~$48.6 million of franchise capital awards to investment team members in lieu of certain additional restricted share-based awards. The franchise capital awards are subject to the same long-term vesting and forfeiture provisions as restricted share-based awards. Prior to vesting, franchise capital awards are ~~invested in~~generally allocated to one or more of the investment strategies managed by the award recipient's investment team. During the vesting period, the value of the awards will increase or decrease based on the investment returns of the strategies in which the awards are invested. Compensation expense, including the appreciation or depreciation related to investment returns, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally five years. Because the awards will be paid out in cash upon vesting, the fair value of unvested awards is recorded as a liability based on the percentage of the service requirement that has been completed.

The company hedges its economic exposure to the change in value of these awards due to market movements by investing the cash reserved for the awards in the underlying investments. The franchise capital award liability and the underlying investment holdings are marked to market each quarter. The change in value of the award liability is recognized as a compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the required service period. The change in value of the underlying investment holdings is recognized in non-operating income (expense) in the period of change. While there is a timing difference between the recognition of the compensation expense and the offsetting investment gain or loss, the compensation expense and investment income will net to zero at the end of the multi-year vesting period for all awards that ultimately vest.

The change in value of the investments had the following impact on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations:

Note 11. Income Taxes and Related Payments

APAM is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxation on APAM’s allocable portion of Holdings’ income as well as foreign income taxes payable by Holdings’ subsidiaries. APAM’s effective income tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a rate benefit attributable to the fact that, for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, approximately ~~20%~~17% of Artisan Partners Holdings’ full year projected taxable earnings were attributable to other partners and not subject to corporate-level taxes. The effective tax rate was also lower than the statutory rate due to tax deductible dividends paid on unvested restricted share-based awards and favorable tax deductions related to the vesting of restricted share-based awards.

APAM’s effective tax rate was ~~18.8%~~19.9% and ~~18.1%~~18.3% for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Components of the provision for income taxes consist of the following:

In connection with the IPO, APAM entered into 2 tax receivable agreements (“TRAs”). The first TRA generally provides for the payment by APAM to a private equity fund (the “Pre-H&F Corp Merger Shareholder”) or its assignees of 85% of the applicable cash savings, if any, of U.S. federal, state and local income taxes that APAM actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) the tax attributes of the preferred units APAM acquired in the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Pre-H&F Corp Merger Shareholder into APAM in March 2013 ~~(ii) net operating losses available as a result of the merger~~ and ~~(iii)~~(ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest.

The second TRA generally provides for the payment by APAM to current or former limited partners of Holdings or their assignees of 85% of the applicable cash savings, if any, of U.S. federal, state and local income taxes that APAM actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain tax attributes of their partnership units sold to APAM or exchanged (for shares of Class A common stock, convertible preferred stock or other consideration) and that are created as a result of such sales or exchanges and payments under the TRAs and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest. Under both agreements, APAM generally will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of the applicable tax savings.

For purposes of the TRAs, cash savings of income taxes are calculated by comparing APAM’s actual income tax liability to the amount it would have been required to pay had it not been able to utilize any of the tax benefits subject to the TRAs, unless certain assumptions apply. The TRAs will continue in effect until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless APAM exercises its right to terminate the agreements or payments under the agreements are accelerated in the event that APAM materially breaches any of its material obligations under the agreements.

Table of Contents

Payments under the TRAs, if any, will be made pro rata among all TRA counterparties entitled to payments on an annual basis to the extent APAM has sufficient taxable income to utilize the increased depreciation and amortization charges and imputed interest deductions. Artisan expects to make one or more payments under the TRAs, to the extent they are required, prior to or within 125 days after APAM’s U.S. federal income tax return is filed for each fiscal year. Interest on the TRA payments will accrue at a rate equal to one-year LIBOR plus 100 basis points from the due date (without extension) of such tax return until such payments are made. Amounts payable under the TRAs are estimates which may be impacted by factors, including but not limited to, expected tax rates, projected taxable income, and projected ownership levels and are subject to change. Changes in the estimates of amounts payable under tax receivable agreements are recorded as non-operating income (loss) in the ~~Unaudited Consolidated Statements~~unaudited consolidated statements of ~~Operations.~~operations.

The change in the Company’s deferred tax assets related to the tax benefits described above and the change in corresponding amounts payable under the TRAs for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 is summarized as follows:

Accounting standards establish a minimum threshold for recognizing, and a process for measuring, the benefits of income tax return positions in financial statements. The Company's gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $0.2 million and $1.3 million as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, respectively. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits is not expected to significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision. Accrued interest on ~~uncertain~~unrecognized tax ~~positions~~benefits was ~~$0.2 million~~$24 thousand and $238 thousand as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, respectively.

In the normal course of business, Artisan is subject to examination by federal and certain state, local and foreign tax regulators. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, U.S. federal income tax returns filed for the years 2018 through 2020 are open and therefore subject to examination. State, local, and foreign income tax returns filed are generally subject to examination from 2017 to 2020.

Note 12. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed under the two-class method by dividing income available to Class A common stockholders by the weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted share-based awards are excluded from the number of Class A common shares outstanding for the basic earnings per share calculation because the shares have not yet been earned by employees. Income available to Class A common stockholders is computed by reducing net income attributable to APAM by earnings (both distributed and undistributed) allocated to participating securities, according to their respective rights to participate in those earnings. Except for certain performance share units, unvested share-based awards are participating securities because the awards include non-forfeitable dividend rights during the vesting period. Class B and Class C common shares do not share in profits of APAM and therefore are not reflected in the calculations.

Diluted earnings per share is computed under the more dilutive of the treasury stock method or the two-class method. The weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding during the period is increased by the assumed conversion of nonparticipating unvested share-based awards into Class A common stock using the treasury stock method.

~~Table of Contents~~

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the ~~nine~~three and six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 were as follows:

Allocation to participating securities in the table above primarily represents dividends paid to holders of unvested restricted share-based awards, which reduces net income available to common stockholders.

The Holdings limited partnership units are anti-dilutive primarily due to the impact of public company expenses. Unvested restricted share-based awards with non-forfeitable dividend rights during the vesting period are considered participating securities and are therefore anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the weighted-average shares outstanding that are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

Note 13. Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, APAM enters into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties. Holdings has also agreed to indemnify APAM as its general partner, Artisan Investment Corporation (“AIC”) as its former general partner, the directors and officers of APAM, the directors and officers of AIC as its former general partner, the members of its former Advisory Committee, and its partners, directors, officers, employees and agents. Holdings’ subsidiaries may also have similar agreements to indemnify their respective general partner(s), directors, officers, directors and officers of their general partner(s), partners, members, employees, and agents. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. APAM maintains insurance policies that may provide coverage against certain claims under these indemnities.

Note 15. Related Party Transactions

Several of the current executive officers and directors of APAM or entities associated with those individuals, are limited partners of Holdings. As a result, certain transactions (such as TRA payments) between Artisan and the limited partners of Holdings are considered to be related party transactions with respect to these persons.

Holdings also makes estimated state tax payments on behalf of certain limited partners, including related parties. These payments are then netted from subsequent distributions or payments to the limited partners. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accounts receivable included $21.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of partnership tax reimbursements due from Holdings’ limited partners, including related parties.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview and Recent Highlights

We are an investment management firm focused on providing high-value added, active investment strategies in growing asset classes to sophisticated clients ~~globally.~~around the world. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our ~~nine~~10 autonomous investment teams managed a total of 2024 investment strategies across multiple asset classes and investment styles. ~~Over our firm’s history, we have created~~Our 25th investment strategy, the Emerging Markets Local Opportunities strategy managed by the EMsights Capital Group, was launched in July 2022.

We focus on attracting, retaining and developing talented investment professionals and creating an environment in which each investment team is provided ample resources and support, transparent and direct financial incentives, a high degree of investment autonomy, and a long-term time horizon. We create new investment strategies ~~that can~~when we identify opportunities to add value for clients, oftentimes through the use of a broad array of securities, instruments, and techniques (which we call degrees of freedom) to differentiate returns and manage risk.

We focus our distribution efforts on sophisticated investors and asset allocators, including institutions and intermediaries that operate with institutional-like decision-making processes. We offer our investment strategies to clients and investors through multiple investment vehicles, including separate accounts and different types of pooled vehicles. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, approximately ~~78%~~77% of our assets under management were managed for clients and investors domiciled in the U.S. and ~~22%~~23% of our assets under management were managed for clients and investors domiciled outside of the U.S.

As a high-value added investment manager we expect that long-term investment performance will be the primary driver of our long-term business and financial results. If we maintain and evolve existing investment strategies and launch new investment strategies that meet the needs of and generate attractive outcomes for sophisticated asset allocators, we believe that we will continue to generate strong business and financial results.

Over shorter time periods, changes in our business and financial results are largely driven by market conditions and fluctuations in our assets under management that may not necessarily be the result of our long-term investment performance or the long-term demand for our strategies. For this reason, we expect that our business and financial results will be lumpy over time.

We strive to maintain a financial model that is transparent and predictable. Currently, we derive nearly all of our revenues from investment management fees, most of which are based on a specified percentage of clients’ average assets under management. A majority of our expenses, including most of our compensation expense, vary directly with changes in our revenues. We invest thoughtfully to support our investment teams and future growth, while also paying out to stockholders and partners a majority of the cash that we generate from operations through ~~distributions~~dividends and ~~dividends.~~distributions. We expect to continue to invest in the growth of the business, with a focus on adding new investment capabilities and more degrees of freedom in areas where both opportunity and client demand exist, and in which we can differentiate our active management and add value for clients.

Business ~~and financial~~ highlights for the quarter included:

•~~Michael Cirami, Michael O'Brien and Sarah Orvin joined Artisan to build the firm's~~Our newest autonomous investment ~~franchise. The new~~ team, ~~will develop active, differentiated strategies with broad exposure to~~ the ~~emerging markets debt asset class. We expect to launch~~ EMsights Capital Group, launched its second strategy—the ~~team's initial strategies during~~Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities strategy—in April 2022.

•We earned ~~$316.6~~$251.4 million in revenue for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021, an increase~~2022, a decrease of ~~36%~~18% from revenues of ~~$232.7~~$304.9 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

~~COVID-19 Pandemic~~

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the manner in which we operate. During the third quarter, the majority of our associates continued to work from home the majority of the time and business travel remained significantly reduced from pre-COVID-19 levels. Additionally, many third-party vendors on whom we rely for certain critical functions also continued to operate in fully or partially remote environments during the third quarter.

We expect that many of our associates will transition back to working in an Artisan office location for part or all of the time during the fourth quarter, such that by year-end the vast majority of our associates will be working in an Artisan office more often than not. Given the continued uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to predict whether further changes to associates' work arrangements will be needed and how long the reduced business travel will last. We expect most operating costs to return to pre-COVID-19 levels when associates return to the office and resume business travel.

We believe that we continue to operate well under these circumstances, benefiting from the flexible and highly mobile operating environment we have built over 25 years. However, market volatility, as well as changes in our operations and those of our key vendors in light of the continued uncertainty, may result in increased client redemptions; inefficiencies, delays and decreased communication; and an increase in the number and significance of operational and trade errors. In addition, we do not know what, if any, longer-term impact the current operating circumstances (and/or the extension of them) will have on our business and results.

Organizational Structure

Our operations are conducted through Artisan Partners Holdings (“Holdings”) and its subsidiaries. On March 12, 2013, Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (“APAM”) and Artisan Partners Holdings LP completed a series of transactions (“the IPO Reorganization”) to reorganize their capital structures in connection with the initial public offering (“IPO”) of APAM’s Class A common stock. The IPO Reorganization and IPO were completed on March 12, 2013. The IPO Reorganization was designed to create a capital structure that preserves our ability to conduct our business through Holdings, while permitting us to raise additional capital and provide access to liquidity through a public company.

~~Our employees and other limited~~Limited partners of Holdings, some of whom are employees, held approximately ~~17%~~15% of the equity interests in Holdings as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. As a result, our results reflect that significant noncontrolling interest.

We operate our business in a single segment.

~~2021 Follow-On Offering and~~ Holdings Unit Exchanges

On March 1, 2021, the Company sold 963,614 shares of Class A common stock in an underwritten offering and utilized all of the proceeds to purchase an aggregate of 963,614 common units from certain limited partners of Holdings. In connection with the offering, APAM received 963,614 GP units of Holdings.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, certain limited partners of Holdings exchanged ~~653,741~~122,335 common units (along with a corresponding number of shares of Class B or Class C common stock of APAM) for ~~653,741~~122,335 shares of Class A common stock. In connection with the exchanges, APAM received ~~653,741~~122,335 GP units of Holdings.

APAM’s equity ownership interest in Holdings increased from ~~80%~~84% at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 to ~~83%~~85% at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, as a result of these transactions and other equity transactions during the period.

Financial Overview

Economic Environment

Global ~~equity and debt~~ market conditions materially affect our financial performance. Global markets continued to be volatile during the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to, among other factors, wide ranging impacts of the ongoing war in Ukraine, persistently elevated inflation and central bank tightening. This continued volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets has impacted the value of our assets under management. Because the revenue we earn is based on the value of our assets under management, fluctuations in our AUM will result in corresponding fluctuations in our revenues and earnings.

The following table presents the total returns of relevant market indices for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020:~~2021:

Investment advisory fees and assets under management within our consolidated investment products are excluded from the weighted average fee calculations and from total revenues, since any such revenues are eliminated upon consolidation. Assets under management within Artisan Private Funds are included in the reported ~~firm-wide,~~firmwide, separate accounts and other, and institutional assets under management figures reported below.

Assets Under Management and Investment Performance

Changes to our operating results from one period to another are primarily caused by changes in the amount of our assets under management. Changes in the relative composition of our assets under management among our investment strategies and vehicles and the effective fee rates on our products also impact our operating results.

The amount and composition of our assets under management are, and will continue to be, influenced by a variety of factors including, among others:

•investment performance, including fluctuations in both the financial markets and foreign currency exchange rates and the quality of our investment decisions;

•flows of client assets into and out of our various strategies and investment vehicles;

•our decision to close strategies or limit the growth of assets in a strategy or a vehicle when we believe it is in the best interest of our clients, as well as our decision to re-open strategies, in part or entirely;

•our ability to attract and retain qualified investment, management, and marketing and client service professionals;

•industry trends towards products, strategies, vehicles, or services that we do not offer;

•competitive conditions in the investment management and broader financial services sectors; and

•investor sentiment and confidence.

During the quarter, our AUM ~~decreased~~declined by ~~$1.6~~$29.1 billion due to ~~$1.6~~$24.8 billion of negative investment ~~returns.~~returns and $4.2 billion of net client cash outflows. For the quarter, 1215 of our 2024 investment strategies had net ~~inflows~~outflows totaling ~~$2.4~~$4.9 billion, which were partially offset by ~~$2.4~~$0.6 billion of net ~~outflows~~inflows from the remaining 9 strategies.

Over the long-term, we expect to generate the majority of our AUM growth through investment returns, which has been our historical experience.

We monitor the availability of attractive investment opportunities relative to the amount of assets we manage in each of our investment ~~strategies.~~strategies and the velocity at which the strategies are experiencing inflows. When appropriate, we will close a strategy to new investors or otherwise take action to slow or restrict its growth, even though our aggregate assets under management may be negatively impacted in the short term. We may also re-open a strategy, widely or selectively, to fill available capacity or manage the diversification of our client base in that strategy. We believe that management of our investment capacity protects our ability to manage assets successfully, which protects the interests of our clients and, in the long term, protects our ability to retain client assets and maintain our profit margins.

As of the date of this filing, the Artisan High Income Fund, Artisan International Value Fund and Artisan International Small-Mid Fund are closed to most new investors and their respective strategies have limited availability to most new client relationships. In addition, we are actively managing the capacity of our U.S. Small-Cap Growth strategy with respect to new client relationships.

When we close or otherwise restrict the growth of a strategy, we typically continue to allow additional investments in the strategy by existing clients and certain related entities. We may also permit new investments by other eligible investors in our discretion. As a result, during a given period we may have net client cash inflows in a closed strategy. However, when a strategy is closed or its growth is restricted we expect there to be periods of net client cash outflows.

As of the date of this filing, the Artisan High Income Fund, Artisan International Value Fund and Artisan International Small-Mid Fund are closed to most new investors and their respective strategies have limited availability to most new client relationships. In addition, we are actively managing the capacity of our Global Opportunities and U.S. Small-Cap Growth strategies with respect to new client relationships.

In November 2021 we expect the Artisan Funds will make their annual income and capital gain distributions. Based on our current estimates and assumptions, we expect this year's distributions to result in approximately $2 billion of net client cash outflows from investors who choose not to reinvest their distributions. The November 2021 distribution (estimates of which we expect Artisan Funds will disclose in advance of the record date) may cause increased mutual fund redemptions.

The unaudited table on the following page sets forth the average annual total returns for each composite (gross of fees) and its respective broad-based benchmark (and style benchmark, if applicable) over a multi-horizon time period as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

We measure investment performance based upon the results of our “composites”, which represent the aggregate performance of all discretionary client accounts, including pooled investment vehicles, invested in the same strategy except those accounts with respect to which we believe client-imposed investment restrictions may have a material impact on portfolio construction and those accounts managed in a currency other than U.S. dollars. The results of these excluded accounts, which represented approximately ~~10%~~12% of our assets under management at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, are maintained in separate composites the results of which are not included below.

Investment Advisory Revenues

Essentially all of our revenues consist of fees earned from managing clients’ assets. Our investment advisory fees, which are comprised of management fees and performance fees, fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the total value of our assets under management, the composition of assets under management among investment vehicles and our investment strategies, changes in the investment management fee rates on our products, the extent to which we enter into fee arrangements that differ from our standard fee schedules, which can be affected by custom and the competitive landscape in the relevant market, and, for the accounts on which we earn performance fees, the investment performance of those accounts.

~~Approximately 4%~~The different fee structures associated with Artisan Funds, Artisan Global Funds and separate accounts and other pooled vehicles, and the different fee schedules applicable to each of our ~~$173.6~~investment strategies, make the composition of our assets under management an important determinant of the investment management fees we earn. Historically, we have received higher effective rates of investment management fees from Artisan Funds and Artisan Global Funds than from traditional separate accounts, reflecting, among other things, the different and broader array of services we provide to Artisan Funds and Artisan Global Funds. Investment management fees for non-U.S. funds may also be higher because they include fees to offset higher distribution costs. Our investment management fees also differ by investment strategy, with higher-capacity strategies having lower standard fee rates than strategies with more limited capacity.

Certain separate account clients pay us fees based on the performance of their accounts relative to agreed-upon benchmarks, which typically results in a lower base fee, but allows us to earn higher fees if the performance we achieve for that client is superior to the performance of an agreed-upon benchmark. We may also receive performance fees or incentive allocations from Artisan Private Funds. Approximately 3% of our $130.5 billion of assets under management as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 have performance fee billing arrangements. Performance fees of ~~$0.4~~$0.1 million were recognized in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$0.3~~$4.1 million in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

The ~~increase~~decrease in salaries, incentive compensation and benefits was driven primarily by a ~~$25.0~~$16.8 million ~~increase~~decrease in quarterly incentive compensation for our investment and marketing professionals as a result of the decrease in revenue, partially offset by an increase in ~~revenue, as well as~~fixed compensation and benefits expense related to merit increases and increased headcount in ~~2021,~~2022, including ~~our newest investment team.~~members of the EMsights Capital Group.

~~Long-term incentive compensation award expense increased $2.3 million, as the awards granted during 2020 and 2021 had a higher value than the awards that became fully vested in 2020 and 2021.~~ During the first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, the Company's board of directors approved a grant of ~~$79.4~~$86.8 million of long-term incentive awards consisting of ~~$44.4~~$38.2 million of restricted share-based awards and ~~$35.0~~$48.6 million of long-term cash awards, which we refer to as franchise capital awards. Long-term incentive compensation award expense for all outstanding awards is expected to be approximately ~~$11~~$14.0 million per quarter in ~~the fourth quarter of 2021,~~2022, excluding the impact of investment ~~returns.~~

~~During the first quarter of 2021, we made our first grant of franchise capital awards to investment professionals in lieu of additional grants of restricted share-based awards. We designed~~returns on the franchise capital awards as an added feature to our long-term incentive program to enhance the alignment between our investment professionals and clients, and to provide investment professionals with greater control over their long-term economic outcome. Franchise capital awards are cash awards that are subject to the same long-term vesting and forfeiture provisions as our restricted share-based awards. ~~Prior to vesting, though, the franchise capital awards will generally be invested in one or more of the investment strategies managed by the award recipient’s investment team.~~

Total compensation and benefits was ~~45%~~51% and ~~47%~~45% of our revenues for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2022, and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively. ~~The percentage decreased as revenue increased at a higher rate than compensation and benefits.~~

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes primarily represents APAM’s U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on its allocable portion of Holdings’ income, as well as foreign income taxes payable by Holdings’ subsidiaries. APAM’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 21.9% and ~~2020 was 19.8% and 17.9%~~19.3%, respectively. Several factors contribute to the effective tax rate, including a rate benefit attributable to the fact that approximately ~~20%~~17% and ~~25%~~20% of Holdings’ full year projected taxable earnings were not subject to corporate-level taxes for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. Thus, income before income taxes includes amounts that are attributable to noncontrolling interests and not taxable to APAM and its subsidiaries, which reduces the effective tax rate. As APAM’s equity ownership in Holdings increases, the effective tax rate will likewise increase as more income will be subject to corporate-level taxes. The effective tax rate was favorably impacted in both periods due to tax deductible dividends paid on unvested restricted share-based awards.

Earnings Per Share

Weighted average basic and diluted shares of Class A common stock outstanding were higher for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, as a result of stock offerings, unit exchanges, and equity award grants.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes primarily represents APAM’s U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on its allocable portion of Holdings’ income, as well as foreign income taxes payable by Holdings’ subsidiaries. APAM’s effective income tax rate was ~~18.8%~~19.9% and ~~18.1%~~18.3% for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Several factors contribute to the effective tax rate, including a rate benefit attributable to the fact that approximately ~~20%~~17% and ~~25%~~20% of Holdings’ full year projected taxable earnings were not subject to corporate-level taxes for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. Thus, income before income taxes includes amounts that are attributable to noncontrolling interests and not taxable to APAM and its subsidiaries, which reduces the effective tax rate. As APAM’s equity ownership in Holdings increases, the effective tax rate will likewise increase as more income will be subject to corporate-level taxes. The effective tax rate was favorably impacted in both periods due to tax deductible dividends paid on unvested restricted share-based awards and by the tax deduction related to the vesting of restricted share-based awards.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information

Our management uses non-GAAP measures (referred to as “adjusted” measures) of net income to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of the underlying operations of our business and as a factor when considering net income available for distributions and dividends. These adjusted measures remove the impact of (1) net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements (if any), (2) compensation expense (reversal) related to market valuation changes in compensation plans, and (3) net investment gain (loss) of investment products. These adjustments also remove the non-operational complexities of our structure by adding back noncontrolling interests and assuming all income of Artisan Partners Holdings is allocated to APAM. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide more meaningful information to analyze our profitability and efficiency between periods and over time. We have included these non-GAAP measures to provide investors with the same financial metrics used by management to manage the Company.

Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Our non-GAAP measures are as follows:

•Adjusted net income represents net income excluding the impact of (1) net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements (if any), (2) compensation expense (reversal) related to market valuation changes in compensation plans, and (3) net investment gain (loss) of investment products. Adjusted net income also reflects income taxes assuming the vesting of all unvested Class A share-based awards and as if all outstanding limited partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings had been exchanged for Class A common stock of APAM on a one-for-one basis. Assuming full vesting and exchange, all income of Artisan Partners Holdings is treated as if it were allocated to APAM, and the adjusted provision for income taxes represents an estimate of income tax expense at an effective rate reflecting APAM's current federal, state, and local income statutory tax rates. The adjusted tax rate was 24.7% ~~and 24.5%~~ for ~~the 2021 and 2020~~all periods ~~presented, respectively.~~presented.

•Adjusted net income per adjusted share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by adjusted shares. The number of adjusted shares is derived by assuming the vesting of all unvested Class A share-based awards and the exchange of all outstanding limited partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings for Class A common stock of APAM on a one-for-one basis.

•Adjusted operating income represents the operating income of the consolidated company excluding compensation expense related to market valuation changes in compensation plans.

•Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by total revenues.

•Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense.

Net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements represents the income (expense) associated with the change in estimate of amounts payable under the tax receivable agreements entered into in connection with APAM’s initial public offering and related reorganization.

Compensation expense (reversal) related to market valuation changes in compensation plans represents the expense (income) associated with the change in the long term incentive award liability resulting from investment returns of the underlying investment products. Because the compensation expense impact of the investment market exposure is economically hedged, management believes it is useful to reflect the expected net income offset in the calculation of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted EBITDA. The related investment gain (loss) on the underlying investments is included in the adjustment for net investment gain (loss) of investment products.

Net investment gain (loss) of investment products represents the non-operating income (expense) related to the Company’s investments, in both consolidated investment products and nonconsolidated investment products, including investments held to economically hedge compensation plans. Excluding these non-operating market gains or losses on investments provides greater transparency to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of the underlying operations of the business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital needs, including accrued incentive compensation payments, have been and are expected to be met primarily through cash generated by our operations. The assets and liabilities of consolidated investment products attributable to third-party investors do not impact our liquidity and capital resources. We have no right to the benefits from, nor do we bear the risks associated with, the assets and liabilities of consolidated investment products, beyond our direct equity investment and any investment advisory fees earned. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of consolidated investment products attributable to third-party investors are excluded from the amounts and discussions below. The following table shows our liquidity position as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

(1) Seed investments include Artisan's direct equity investments in consolidated and nonconsolidated Artisan-sponsored investment products. The balance excludes $65.0 million of investments made related to funded long-term incentive compensation plans.

We manage our cash balances in order to fund our day-to-day operations. Accounts receivable primarily represent investment advisory fees that have been earned, but not yet received from our clients. We perform a review of our receivables on a monthly basis to assess collectability. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, none of our receivables were considered uncollectible.

We utilize ~~capital~~cash to make seed investments in Artisan-sponsored investment products to support the development of new investment strategies and vehicles. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the balance of all seed investments, including investments in consolidated investment products, was ~~$65.0~~$90.8 million. ~~The~~Subject to certain restrictions on the timing of redemptions, the seed investments are generally redeemable at our discretion.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we also made investments of $48.0 million related to funded long-term incentive compensation plans. As of June 30, 2022, the value of investments held related to funded long-term incentive compensation plans was $65.0 million.

In July 2022, Artisan made additional seed investments of $30.0 million in certain sub-funds of the Artisan Global Funds launched by the EMsights Capital Group. We expect our investment portfolio to continue to grow as we grant additional annual franchise capital awards and make seed investments in new investment strategies and vehicles.

We have $200 million in unsecured notes outstanding and a $100 million revolving credit facility with a five-year term ending August 2022. The notes are comprised of three series, Series C, Series D, and Series E, each with a balloon payment at maturity. The $100 million revolving credit facility was unused as of and for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

On December 7, 2021, Holdings entered into a Note Purchase Agreement to issue $90 million of Series F senior notes in a private placement transaction on August 16, 2022, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The Company will use the proceeds from the Series F senior notes to repay the $90 million of Series C senior notes that mature on August 16, 2022. The Series F senior notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.10% and will mature on August 16, 2032.

The fixed interest rate on each series of unsecured notes is subject to a 100 basis point increase in the event Holdings receives a below-investment grade rating and any such increase will continue to apply until an investment grade rating is received.

These borrowings contain various covenants. Our failure to comply with any of the covenants could result in an event of default under the agreements, giving our lenders the ability to accelerate repayment of our obligations. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

We have obtained commitments to extend the revolving credit facility through August 2027. We expect to execute the amendment and restatement of the revolving credit facility on August 16, 2022 to be effective upon the termination of the current credit facility.

Our board of directors declared, effective ~~October 26, 2021,~~August 2, 2022, a variable quarterly dividend of ~~$1.07~~$0.60 per share of Class A common stock with respect to the ~~September~~June quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, payable on ~~November 30, 2021~~August 31, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on ~~November 16, 2021.~~August 17, 2022. The variable quarterly dividend represents approximately 80% of the cash generated in the ~~September~~June quarter of ~~2021~~2022 and a pro-rata portion of ~~2021~~2022 tax savings related to our tax receivable agreements.

Subject to Board approval each quarter, we currently expect to pay a quarterly dividend of approximately 80% of the cash the Company generates each quarter. We expect our quarterly cash generation ~~will generally equal~~to approximate adjusted net income plus long-term incentive compensation award expense, less cash reserved for future franchise capital awards (which we expect will approximate 4% of investment management revenues each quarter) with additional adjustments made for certain other sources and uses of cash, including capital expenditures. After the end of the year, our Board will consider paying a special dividend after determining the amount of cash needed for general corporate purposes and investments in growth and strategic initiatives. Although we expect to pay dividends according to our dividend policy, we may not pay dividends according to our policy or at all.

In addition to funding our normal operations, we will be required to fund amounts payable under the TRAs that we entered into in connection with the IPO, which resulted in the recognition of a ~~$404.4~~$401.0 million liability as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The liability generally represents 85% of the tax benefits APAM expects to realize as a result of the merger of an entity into APAM as part of the IPO Reorganization, our purchase of partnership units from limited partners of Holdings and the exchange of partnership units (for shares of Class A common stock or other consideration). The estimated liability assumes no material changes in the relevant tax law and that APAM earns sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits subject to the TRAs. An increase or decrease in future tax rates will increase or decrease, respectively, the expected tax benefits APAM would realize and the amounts payable under the TRAs. Changes in the estimate of expected tax benefits APAM would realize and the amounts payable under the TRAs as a result of change in tax rates have been and will be recorded in net income.

The liability will increase upon future purchases or exchanges of limited partnership units with the increase representing amounts payable under the TRAs equal to 85% of the estimated future tax benefits, if any, resulting from such purchases or exchanges. We intend to fund the payment of amounts due under the TRAs out of the reduced tax payments that APAM realizes in respect of the tax attributes to which the TRAs relate.

The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under these agreements, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of sales or exchanges by the holders of limited partnership units, the price of the Class A common stock at the time of such sales or exchanges, whether such sales or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income APAM generates in the future and the tax rate then applicable and the portion of APAM’s payments under the TRAs constituting imputed interest or depreciable basis or amortizable basis. In certain cases, payments under the TRAs may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the TRAs. In such cases, we intend to fund those payments with cash on hand, although we may have to borrow funds depending on the amount and timing of the payments. ~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we made payments of $31.3 million related to the TRAs. We do not intend to make any additional TRA payments in 2021.~~ In 2022, we expect to make payments of approximately ~~$33~~$33.5 million related to the ~~TRAs.~~TRAs, $25.1 million of which we paid on April 18, 2022.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2021, the Company determined that it no longer had a controlling financial interest in an investment product that was previously consolidated.

Certain Contractual Obligations

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business from those listed in the “Contractual Obligations” table and related notes to the table in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, filed with the SEC on February ~~23, 2021,~~22, 2022, except for the changes in the TRA liability during the year.

As previously discussed in this report, the TRA liability decreased from ~~$412.5~~$425.4 million at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 to ~~$404.4~~$401.0 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Amounts payable under the TRAs will increase upon exchanges of Holdings units for our Class A common stock or sales of Holdings units to us, with the increase representing 85% of the estimated future tax benefits, if any, resulting from such exchanges or sales and decrease when payments are made. The actual amount and timing of payments associated with our existing payable under the TRAs or future exchanges or sales, and associated tax benefits, will vary depending upon a number of factors as described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” As a result, the timing of payments by period is currently unknown. ~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we made payments of $31.3 million related to the TRAs. We do not intend to make any additional TRA payments in 2021.~~ In 2022, we expect to make payments of approximately ~~$33~~$33.5 million related to the ~~TRAs.~~TRAs, $25.1 million of which we paid on April 18, 2022.
