Total firm AUM were $46.9 billion at September 30, 2014. Average AUM were $48.4 billion, an increase of 13.6% from $42.6 billion in the comparable 2013 quarter and $48.1 billion in the second quarter 2014. Our third quarter 2014 decline was mostly due to market depreciation of $2.2 billion, net outflows of $36 million and open- and closed-end fund net distributions of $145 million. (Details of our quarter and year to date fund flows are found in tables I and II on page 6)
Revenues
| - | Total revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $110.9 million, up 15.0% from $96.4 million in the prior year. |
| - | Investment advisory and incentive fees were $92.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $12.2 million or 15.1% from the comparable 2013 quarter. Revenues are generally driven by growth in average AUM in our open- and closed-end funds and higher billable assets in our institutional and private wealth management accounts. There were $0.1 million of incentive fees earned during the 2014 quarter versus $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2013. |
| - | Distribution fees from our open-end funds and other income were $15.7 million for the third quarter 2014, an increase of $2.2 million, or 16.1%, from the prior year quarter of $13.5 million. |
| - | Our institutional research services revenues were $2.5 million in the third quarter 2014 versus $2.4 million in the prior year period. |
Operating Income – Third Quarter
Operating income, which is net of management fee expense, increased 33.2% or $10.9 million to $43.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 versus $32.7 million in the prior year period. The operating margin rose to 39.3% in the third quarter of 2014 versus 34.0% in the comparable prior year period. The lower management fee, which was impacted by lower non-operating income, partially offset by higher stock compensation costs in the current quarter, contributed to the higher operating margin. The Company issued restricted stock awards during the second half of 2013 resulting in a $1.0 million increase in stock compensation costs in the 2014 quarter versus the prior year quarter. Incentive management fee expense, which is entirely variable, is based on pre-tax income and is impacted by changes in both operating and non-operating income.
Operating income before management fee was $47.3 million in the third quarter 2014 versus $38.4 million in the third quarter 2013. Operating margin before management fee rose to 42.7% versus 39.8% in the third quarter of 2013 due to increased leverage of our fixed costs as a result of higher revenues. Management believes evaluating operating income before management fee is an important measure in analyzing the Company's operating results. Further information regarding Non-GAAP measures is included in Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Table V included elsewhere herein.
Other income (expense)
We recognized other expenses of $10.0 million in the 2014 quarter versus income of $18.0 million in the third quarter of 2013. Losses, due to lower market valuations from firm investments were $9.1 million in the 2014 quarter versus gains of $19.3 million in the third quarter of 2013. Dividend and interest income remained the same quarter over quarter at $1.1 million. The purchase of a portion of our zero coupon debentures over the last twelve months lowered interest expense to $2.0 million in the 2014 third quarter versus $2.2 million in the prior year quarter.
Income Taxes
The third quarter 2014 effective tax rate ("ETR") was 38.8% compared to 34.5% in the 2013 quarter. Excluding net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests the ETR was 35.5% and 34.6% for the third quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
| A. | Operating income before management fee expense is used by management to evaluate its business operations. We believe this measure is useful in illustrating the operating results of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (the "Company") as management fee expense is based on pre-tax income before management fee expense, which includes non-operating items including investment gains and losses from the Company's proprietary investment portfolio and interest expense. The reconciliation of operating income before management fee expense to operating income is provided in Table V. |
| B. | Operating income before management fee expense per share and other income/(expense), net per share are used by management for purposes of evaluating its business operations. We believe these measures are useful in comparing the operating and non-operating results of the Company for the purposes of understanding the composition of net income per fully diluted share. The negative swings in other income/(expense), net of $0.51 and $0.56 per fully diluted share for the quarter and year to date, respectively, are derived by making certain necessary adjustments, as shown in the table below, to arrive at a net impact for each period and then calculating the difference. The reconciliation of operating income before management fee expense per share and other income/(expense), net per share to net income per fully diluted share, is provided below. |

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
The financial results set forth in this press release are preliminary. Our disclosure and analysis in this press release, which do not present historical information, contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning. They also appear in any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance of our products, expenses, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results. Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about our business and operations, the economy and other conditions, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe. Therefore, you should proceed with caution in relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, some of which are listed below, that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from any future results or outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations or beliefs include a decline in the securities markets that adversely affect our assets under management, negative performance of our products, the failure to perform as required under our investment management agreements, a general downturn in the economy that negatively impacts our operations. We also direct your attention to the more specific discussions of these and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors contained in our Form 10-K and other public filings. Other factors that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We do not undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements if we subsequently learn that we are unlikely to achieve our expectations whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
