JANUS CAPITAL GROUP ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER
AND YEAR-END 2003 RESULTS
Improved Fund Performance, Strengthened Balance Sheet and Diversified Product Line
Mark Accomplishments in First Year as a Public Company
DENVER– Janus Capital Group Inc. (NYSE: JNS) today reported fourth quarter net income of $812.9 million, or $3.52 per diluted share. The fourth quarter 2003 results include the financial impact of the exchange transaction with DST Systems, Inc. (DST) of $807.7 million, a charge of $62.8 million to account for costs related to the investigation into mutual fund trading, a write-down of certain intangible assets of $9.3 million, and an after-tax gain from discontinued operations of $1.7 million.
Janus management analyzes historical results after adjusting for certain items that are not ongoing or are non-operational in nature. The company believes the exclusion of these items is useful to both management and investors as it provides a more comparable basis for the evaluation of Janus’ operating results and financial performance over time.See reconciliation of such items on page 6 of this release. Excluding the previously mentioned items, fourth quarter adjusted net income totaled $54.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared with fourth quarter 2002 net income of $45.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. Adjusted operating income increased to $96.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2003 compared with $77.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. The increase in adjusted operating and net income resulted from higher average assets under management and flat operating expenses.
For the full year 2003, net income totaled $949.9 million, or $4.14 per diluted share. The 2003 results include a charge of $71.8 million relating to the mutual fund investigation, final restructuring costs and intangible asset write-downs of $11.9 million, an $807.7 million gain from the DST exchange transaction, and an after-tax loss of $5.9 million from discontinued operations. For the full year 2002, net income totaled $84.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, which included a charge of $59.4 million relating to the corporate restructuring, a deferred income

tax charge relating to DST shares of $107.8 million, and an after-tax loss of $9.8 million from discontinued operations.
Excluding these items, adjusted net income for 2003 totaled $206.6 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $239.4 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the same period in 2002. Adjusted operating income totaled $328.3 million for the full year 2003, a decrease of $40.1 million from 2002.
“We’re encouraged that our assets and revenues stabilized during the last half of 2003 as market conditions and fund performance improved,” said Janus CEO Mark Whiston. “We’re also pleased that we made significant progress in addressing our 2003 strategic priorities. We streamlined our corporate structure, strengthened our balance sheet and introduced several value and risk-managed products from our subsidiaries and partners.
“Although some of our accomplishments have been overshadowed by regulatory issues,” Whiston said, “the fact is we’re delivering strong fund performance and taking significant steps to restore Janus’ reputation as a firm committed to putting its shareholders first.”
Fourth Quarter 2003 Developments
Mutual Fund Investigation
On December 19, 2003, the Independent Trustees of the domestic Janus funds and Janus announced the company’s intention to make a restoration payment of approximately $31.5 million related to the discretionary frequent trading arrangements, $6.0 million of which was accrued for in the third quarter. The fourth quarter charge of $62.8 million includes the remaining $25.5 million in restoration costs and an additional $37.3 million charge, which includes the company’s current estimate of the costs of the regulatory investigations, current period legal fees and shareholder communications. Since Janus has not yet resolved the regulatory investigations, the company cannot state that the above-mentioned charge will be sufficient to cover the ultimate cost. In contrast to the regulatory issues, Janus has not recorded any liability for civil actions because an estimate of this potential contingency cannot be determined.
DST Systems, Inc.
On December 1, 2003, Janus completed the previously announced share exchange with DST. Janus exchanged 32.3 million common shares of DST for Capital Group Partners, a corporation which includes a printing and graphics design business, with a value of $115.0 million and approximately $999.0 million in cash. The share disposition resulted in a $631.3 million book gain and a reversal of previously recorded income taxes of $176.4 million based on opinions of independent tax advisors that the transaction should qualify as a tax-free exchange under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code. This treatment remains subject to IRS review. Equity earnings

in DST are no longer being recorded and Janus’ remaining DST ownership (approximately 9%) is recorded at market value. For the 11 months ended November 30, 2003 (prior to the exchange transaction), equity earnings from DST totaled $64.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share.
Write-down of Intangible Assets
In the fourth quarter 2003, a write-down of certain intangible assets totaling $9.3 million was recorded, primarily associated with the termination of Bay Isle’s subadvised contract with the Undiscovered Managers REIT Fund (which was sold to an unrelated third party), combined with the loss of other smaller institutional accounts.
Financial Results – Fourth Quarter 2003 vs. Fourth Quarter 2002
Fourth quarter 2003 average assets under management were $149.2 billion, compared with $141.5 billion for the comparable quarter in 2002, a 5.4% increase. The increase in average assets under management resulted in a 4.6% increase in asset management-related revenue, from $243.1 million to $254.2 million. Janus’ ownership of Capital Group Partners for the month of December generated the remaining $7.2 million of revenue recorded in the current quarter. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2003 (excluding the $62.8 million investigation-related charge and the $9.3 million write-down of intangible assets) remained consistent at $165.4 million from $166.0 million in the fourth quarter 2002 due to the following factors:
| • | | Employee compensation and benefitsincreased $7.3 million, or 16.0%, principally due to the fourth quarter 2002 reversal of approximately $6.0 million of the annual incentive bonus accrual. Higher incentive-based compensation during the current quarter (from increased average assets under management and improved relative fund performance) was almost entirely offset by a decline in base salaries as a result of headcount reductions from the 2002 corporate restructuring. |
| • | | Cost of printing and fulfillmentof $6.5 million represents the total direct operating expenses of Capital Group Partners. |
| • | | Offsetting these increases in operating expenses were reductions inrestricted stock compensation($6.4 million) from forfeitures, and lowermarketing and distribution expenses($4.3 million). |
Financial Results – 2003 vs. 2002
Average assets under management for 2003 totaled $144.1 billion compared with $162.8 billion for 2002, an 11.5% decrease. As a result, revenue declined 11.4% from $1,123.2 million to $994.7 million. Operating expenses in 2003, excluding charges related to the mutual fund investigation, corporate restructuring and intangible asset impairment, decreased $88.4 million from the same period in 2002. The decline was primarily due to lower employee compensation and benefits from reduced headcount and decreased marketing and distribution expenses due to the decrease in average assets and less firmwide advertising.

In the third quarter 2002, Janus announced a plan to reorganize its operations with the goal of eliminating redundant management teams, investment capabilities and infrastructure. As a result of this plan, Janus recorded a corporate restructuring charge of $59.4 million, which also included certain investment impairments. In the third quarter of 2003, the final estimate of the costs necessary to shut down the Berger and Stilwell offices and receive shareholder approval to merge the Berger Growth Funds with the comparable Janus funds was recorded, resulting in an additional charge of $2.6 million.
2004 Outlook
Janus is anticipating certain events to occur in 2004 that may adversely affect our future earnings and operating margins. The items that we are monitoring closely include the elimination of soft dollar payments for third party products and services, the cost of hiring a Chief Investment Officer and expenses resulting from disclosed amendments to certain employment contracts. We are also expecting increases in compliance-related expenses and incentive-based compensation for portfolio management personnel, given the improving relative fund performance. Management intends to continue aggressively managing its expense base to contain the impact of these increases.
Personnel Changes
Tom Early, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and a member of Janus’ Management Committee, has announced his intention to retire. To ensure a smooth transition of his responsibilities, Early is expected to remain as general counsel until at least mid-May 2004. Janus anticipates a charge of approximately $7.6 million, or $0.02 per share, during the first quarter of 2004, reflecting the cost of Early’s exercise of contractual rights in connection with his retirement.
“During the past six years, Tom has been a strong member of our management team and we appreciate his significant contributions to Janus,” Whiston said.

1All figures unaudited. 2Closed to new investors. 3This Fund has been significantly impacted, either positively or negatively, by investing in initial public offerings (IPOs). 4Effective 3/1/04, this fund’s redemption fee, that may be imposed on shares held for 3 months or less, will be changing from 1% to 2% on shares purchased after that date. 5Returns have sustained significant gains and losses due to market volatility in the consumer discretionary sector. 6Adviser is currently waiving management fees for the Fund. Without such waivers total returns would have been lower. 7Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Without such waivers, Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund and Janus Short-Term Bond Fund’s yields would have been 2.91% and 1.94%, respectively and total returns would have been lower. 8Income may be subject to state or local taxes and to a limited extent certain federal tax. Capital gains are subject to federal, state and local taxes. 9As of December 31, 2003, 30-day SEC Yield was 3.21% on Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund, 3.69% on Janus Flexible Income Fund, 6.44% on Janus High-Yield Fund and 2.27% on Janus Short-Term Bond Fund. 10Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s expenses if they exceed the designated cap. If during the periods shown, the Fund’s actual expenses exceeded the cap, its total return would have been lower. There were no waivers in effect for the most recent period presented. 11An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the Money Market Fund than the total return. 12A fund’s performance for very short time periods may not be indicative of future performance. 13Returns have sustained significant gains and losses due to market volatility in the information technology sector. 14Effective 12/5/03, Janus Global Value Fund changed its name to Janus Global Opportunities Fund. 15Returns shown for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund prior to 4/21/03 are those of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund. 16Returns shown for Janus Small Cap Value Fund prior to 4/21/03 are those of Berger Small Cap Value Fund. 17Returns shown for US Value Fund and International Equity Fund for periods

Returns are restated to reflect the higher expected fees and expenses of US Value Fund and International Equity Fund. Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive each Fund’s total operating expenses to the levels indicated in the prospectus until at least September 30, 2005. 18Vontobel Asset Management, Inc. is the subadviser to the US Value and International Equity Funds. 19Since inception returns reflect Vontobel International Equity Fund’s performance from July 6, 1990, when Vontobel Asset Management, Inc. became the Fund’s investment adviser. Previous periods during which the Fund was advised by other investment advisers are not shown. 20Returns have sustained significant gains and losses due to market volatility in the industrials sector. 21Returns have sustained significant gains and losses due to market volatility in the financials sector. 22Returns have sustained significant gains and losses due to market volatility in the healthcare sector. 23Effective 1/1/04, David Corkins is no longer the portfolio manager of Janus Growth and Income Fund, and Minyoung Sohn is now the Fund Manager. 24Effective 12/5/03, Michael Buchanan is no longer the portfolio manager of Janus High-Yield Fund, and Gibson Smith is now the Fund Manager.
