(1)The Capital allocation-based income represents the change in accrued carried interest. The percentage change is not meaningful (n/m).
Net revenues in Q3 2024 were $1.8 billion, an increase of 6.9% from Q3 2023 and 3.0% from Q2 2024. Performance-based fees earned were $5.6 million in Q3 2024, $2.1 million in Q3 2023, and $16.8 million in Q2 2024.
▪The investment advisory annualized effective fee rate, excluding performance-based fees, of 40.7 basis points in Q3 2024 decreased from 41.6 basis points earned in Q3 2023 and 41.1 basis points earned in Q2 2024. In comparison to prior periods, client flows and transfers drove a mix shift in assets under management toward lower fee products and asset classes.
▪Capital allocation-based income in Q3 2024 of $4.6 million includes $35.1 million in additional accrued carried interest, offset by $30.5 million in acquisition-related, non-cash amortization and impairments. Comparatively, the Q3 2023 amount of $66.1 million includes $91.9 million in additional accrued carried interest, partially offset by $25.8 million in acquisition-related, non-cash amortization and impairments.The decreases from prior periods were primarily the result of overall lower relative returns.

A portion of the capital allocation-based income is passed through as compensation and recognized in compensation and related costs, with the unpaid amount reported as non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet. For detail on the quarterly change in accrued carried interest, which is reported as part of investments on the consolidated balance sheet, and related non-controlling interest, see the applicable tables at the end of this release.

Operating expenses were $1,172.0 million, an increase of 7.6% from Q3 2023 and 0.3% from Q2 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted operating expenses in Q3 2024 were $1,099.0 million, a 3.6% increase from Q3 2023 and a 0.6% decrease from Q2 2024.
▪Compensation, benefits, and related costs in Q3 2024 of $632.9 million increased $15.9 million from Q3 2023 and were $2.9 million lower than Q2 2024. The increase from Q3 2023 was primarily due to higher salaries and related benefits and interim bonus accrual. These increases were partially offset by lower stock-based compensation. The Q3 2023 period included severance costs related to the July 2023 workforce action. Compared to Q2 2024, higher salaries and related benefits were more than offset by lower other employee-related costs. The firm employed 8,104 associates at September 30, 2024, an increase of 3.3% from 7,842 associates at September 30, 2023, and 2.2% from 7,929 associates at June 30, 2024.
▪Distribution and servicing costs in Q3 2024 of $91.6 million increased $16.7 million from Q3 2023 and $3.9 million from Q2 2024. The increase from prior periods was primarily driven by higher average assets under management distributed through intermediaries.
4
▪Advertising and promotion expenses in Q3 2024 of $20.8 million decreased $0.3 million from Q3 2023 and $12.5 million from Q2 2024. The decrease from Q2 2024 was primarily due to the timing of advertising and promotion spend.
▪Technology, occupancy, and facility costs in Q3 2024 of $164.0 million increased $4.3 million from Q3 2023 and $3.1 million from Q2 2024. The increase from Q3 2023 was due to higher costs from the firm's ongoing investment in its technology capabilities, primarily hosted solutions. Compared to Q2 2024, the increase was due to higher costs related to our existing facilities.
▪General, administrative, and other costs in Q3 2024 of $104.2 million increased $18.5 million from Q3 2023 and decreased $4.5 million from Q2 2024. The increase over the prior year was primarily driven by a cost recovery recognized in Q3 2023 that didn't recur in Q3 2024. Additionally, higher professional fees recognized in Q3 2024 were partially offset by lower research fee expense as the firm changed its approach to paying for research beginning in Q1 2024, consistent with regulations and general industry practice. Compared to Q2 2024, the decrease was primarily driven by lower travel, entertainment, and research fee expenses. These lower costs were partially offset by higher professional fees.

Income taxes
The firm's GAAP effective tax rate for Q3 2024 was 22.5%, compared with 24.8% in Q3 2023. These quarterly rates were the result of an overall year-to-date rate of 23.5% for 2024 and 26.1% for 2023. The following reconciles the statutory federal income tax rate to the firm's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
| Nine months ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1) State income tax benefits are reflected in the total benefits for net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests and stock-based compensation plans activity.
(2) Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest represents the portion of earnings held in the firm's consolidated investment products, which are not taxable to the firm despite being included in pre-tax income.
The firm's non-GAAP effective tax rate for Q3 2024 was 23.8%, compared with 24.8% for Q3 2023. The quarterly rates were the result of an overall year-to-date rate of 24.1% for 2024 and 26.8% for 2023. The decrease in the firm's effective tax rate is primarily due to lower valuation allowances recognized in 2024 compared with the 2023 period. In 2023, valuation allowances were recognized against cumulative UK-based deferred tax assets.
The firm estimates that its effective tax rate for the full year 2024 will be in the range of 23.5% to 26.5% on a U.S. GAAP basis, and 23.5% to 25.5% on a non-GAAP basis.

(1) These non-GAAP adjustments remove the impact of acquisition-related amortization and costs including intangible assets and acquired assets amortization and impairments, contingent consideration liability fair value remeasurements, amortization and impairments of acquired investments and non-controlling interest basis differences, and amortization of compensation-related arrangements. Management believes adjusting for these charges helps the reader's ability to understand the firm's core operating results and to increase comparability period to period.
(2) This non-GAAP adjustment removes the compensation expense impact from market valuation changes in the supplemental savings plan liability and the related net gains (losses) on investments designated as economic hedges against the related liability. Amounts deferred under the supplemental savings plan are adjusted for appreciation (depreciation) of hypothetical investments chosen by participants. The firm uses T. Rowe Price investment products to economically hedge the exposure to these market movements. Management believes it is useful to offset the non-operating investment income (loss) recognized on the economic hedges against the related compensation expense and remove the net impact to help the reader's ability to understand the firm's core operating results and to increase comparability period to period.
(3) These non-GAAP adjustments remove the impact the consolidated sponsored investment products have on the firm's U.S. GAAP consolidated statements of income. Specifically, the firm adds back the operating expenses and subtracts the investment income of the consolidated sponsored investment products. The adjustment to operating expenses represents the operating expenses of the consolidated products, net of the elimination of related management and administrative fees. The adjustment to net income attributable to T. Rowe Price represents the net income of the consolidated products, net of redeemable non-controlling interests. Management believes the consolidated sponsored investment products may impact the reader’s ability to understand the firm's core operating results.
(4) This non-GAAP adjustment represents the other non-operating income (loss) and the net gains (losses) earned on the firm's investment portfolio that are not designated as economic hedges of the supplemental savings plan liability and that are not part of the cash and discretionary investment portfolio. Management retains in its non-GAAP measures the investment gains recognized on the cash and discretionary investments as these assets and related income (loss) are considered part of the firm's core operations. Management believes adjusting for the remaining non-operating income (loss) helps the reader’s ability to understand the firm's core operating results and increases comparability to prior years. Additionally, management does not emphasize the impact of this portion of non-operating income (loss) when managing and evaluating the firm's performance.
(5) The income tax impacts were calculated in order to achieve an overall year-to-date non-GAAP effective tax rate of 24.1% in 2024 and 26.8% in 2023. As such, the non-GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 23.8% and 24.8%, respectively.

(6) This non-GAAP measure was calculated by applying the two-class method to adjusted net income attributable to T. Rowe Price Group and dividing by the weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution. The calculation of adjusted net income allocated to common stockholders is as follows:
