AMG Reports Financial and Operating Results
for the Second Quarter and First Half of 2020
Company reports EPS of $0.65, Economic EPS of $2.74 in second quarter of 2020
 | Net Income (controlling interest) of $31 million, Economic Net Income of $130 million |
| Issued $350 million 10-year senior bond, extending duration and enhancing financial flexibility |
| Announced partnership with Inclusive Capital Partners, first Affiliate wholly focused on responsible capitalism |
| Repurchased $50 million in common stock |
WEST PALM BEACH, FL, July 27, 2020 — Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE: AMG) today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Jay C. Horgen, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMG, said:
“In a period of significant ongoing uncertainty, AMG reported Economic earnings per share of $2.74 for the second quarter. Net client cash flows were driven by ongoing performance headwinds concentrated in certain quantitative strategies, which offset organic growth across private markets, wealth management, and traditional and alternative fixed income strategies.
“While considerable market volatility persists, we continue to actively position our business for growth; through the disciplined execution of our strategy, along with the quality and diversity of our Affiliates, we are confident in our ability to create meaningful shareholder value over time. We have enhanced our financial flexibility and expanded our solution set for prospective Affiliates, further augmenting our ability to execute on unique opportunities arising from market dislocation. For three decades, AMG has demonstrated the ability to grow across market cycles, and we remain focused on generating long-term value by investing in leading independent boutique managers, through our proven partnership approach, and allocating resources toward the areas of highest growth and return across our opportunity set.”

Notes
| (1) | As supplemental information, we provide non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest), Economic net income (controlling interest) and Economic earnings per share. Management utilizes these non-GAAP performance measures to assess our performance before our share of certain non-cash expenses and to improve comparability between periods. |
Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) represents our performance before our share of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments, certain Affiliate equity expenses, gains and losses on general partner and seed capital investments, and adjustments to our contingent payment arrangements. We believe that many investors use this non-GAAP measure when assessing the financial performance of companies in the investment management industry.
Under our Economic net income (controlling interest) definition, we add to Net income (loss) (controlling interest) our share of pre-tax intangible amortization and impairments (including the portion attributable to equity method investments in Affiliates), deferred taxes related to intangible assets, and other economic items which include non-cash imputed interest (principally related to the accounting for convertible securities and contingent payment arrangements), certain Affiliate equity expenses, and gains and losses on general partner and seed capital investments. Economic net income (controlling interest) is used by management and our Board of Directors as our principal performance benchmark, including as one of the measures for aligning executive compensation with stockholder value.
Economic earnings per share represents Economic net income (controlling interest) divided by the Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted). In this calculation, the potential share issuance in connection with our junior convertible securities is measured using a “treasury stock” method. Under this method, only the net number of shares of common stock equal to the value of the junior convertible securities in excess of par, if any, are deemed to be outstanding. We believe the inclusion of net shares under a treasury stock method best reflects the benefit of the increase in available capital resources (which could be used to repurchase shares of common stock) that occurs when these securities are converted and we are relieved of our debt obligation.
The following table provides a reconciliation of Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted):
