LONDON —1 November 2018 — Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE/ASX: JHG; “JHG”, “the Group”) published its third quarter results for the three month period ended 30 September 2018.

Third Quarter 2018 Earnings Results

Third quarter 2018 net income attributable to JHG was US$111.2 million compared to US$140.6 million in the second quarter 2018 and US$99.5 million in the third quarter 2017. Adjusted net income attributable to JHG, adjusted for one-off and acquisition and transaction related costs, of US$138.6 million declined 8% compared to US$149.9 million in the second quarter 2018 and improved 21% compared to US$114.2 million in the third quarter 2017.

Third quarter 2018 diluted earnings per share was US$0.55 compared to US$0.70 in the second quarter 2018 and US$0.49 in the third quarter 2017. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of US$0.69 declined 7% compared to US$0.74 in the second quarter 2018 and improved 23% versus US$0.56 in the third quarter 2017.

As at 30 September 2018, the Group had achieved US$119 million of annualised run rate pre-tax net cost synergies. The Group expects it will be able to realise recurring annual run rate pre-tax net cost synergies of US$125 million by the end of 2018, which is significantly ahead of the original target date of May 2020.

Dick Weil, Chief Executive Officer of Janus Henderson Group plc, stated:

“Our third quarter financial results continue to be strong with year-over-year revenue growth and margin expansion of 150 basis points, demonstrating the firm’s enhanced effectiveness of converting higher revenues into higher profits.  We are on track to achieve our targeted cost synergies of US$125 million by the end of 2018 — nearly a year and a half ahead of schedule, a testament to the hard work and commitment of our employees.

“While net flows and recent investment performance are not where we expect them to be, it is also true that we are seeing many areas in our business that are doing well. Our US Intermediary business is gaining market share, exceeding the industry’s organic growth this quarter, and our global Institutional pipeline is seeing a growing number of opportunities across Australia, the Middle East, Asia and the US.

“We recognize short-term performance and flow challenges gain particular attention in a quarterly reporting cycle; however, they do not define our long-term value proposition or derail our plans to achieve organic growth. Going forward, we remain committed to our goals of growing market share profitably in each of our key markets and delivering an exceptional client experience.”

The Group presents its financial results in US$ and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”). However, in the opinion of Management, the profitability of the Group and its ongoing operations is best evaluated using additional non-GAAP financial measures on an adjusted basis. See adjusted statements of income reconciliation for additional information.

Diluted earnings per share	0.69		0.74		0.56

As a result of revenue recognition accounting guidance that came into effect in 2018, the Group’s presentation of distribution expenses under US GAAP is now reported on a gross basis. As a consequence, the Group reclassified prior year amounts to conform to the 2018 presentation. The change in presentation does not affect the Group’s reporting on an adjusted basis as distribution expenses are netted against revenue.

Third quarter 2018 adjusted revenue of US$468.9 million decreased from the second quarter 2018 result of US$477.7 million as a decrease in performance fees was partially offset by an increase in management fees. Performance fees declined from second quarter 2018 levels primarily due to a decrease in SICAV and UK OEICs and Unit Trusts performance fees from a decline in performance of several large European equity strategies and absolute return products and a decrease in mutual fund performance fees. Third quarter 2018 adjusted operating income of US$180.5 million decreased from US$191.4 million in the second quarter 2018, with lower adjusted revenue and a slight increase in adjusted operating expenses due to a number of non-significant items.

Compared to the third quarter 2017, adjusted revenue improved 3% in the third quarter of 2018. Average AUM increased by 7% over the same time period, positively affecting management fees; these increases were partially offset by lower performance fees. Adjusted operating income in the third quarter 2018 improved 7% compared to the third quarter 2017.

DIVIDEND AND SHARE BUYBACK

On 31 October 2018, the Board declared a third quarter dividend in respect of the three months ended 30 September 2018 of US$0.36 per share. Shareholders on the register on the record date of 12 November 2018 will be paid the dividend on 30 November 2018. Janus Henderson does not offer a dividend reinvestment plan.

During the third quarter, JHG commenced a share buyback programme purchasing approximately 1.8 million in aggregate of its ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange and its CHESS Depositary Interests on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) for a total outlay of US$50 million.  An additional US$50 million of shares may be purchased under the existing programme.

Net tangible assets per share

US$	30 Sep 2018	31 Dec 2017
Net tangible assets per ordinary share	1.29	0.68

Net tangible assets are defined by the ASX as being total assets less intangible assets less total liabilities ranking ahead of, or equally with, claims of ordinary shares.

(1) Distribution expenses are paid to financial intermediaries for the distribution of JHG’s investment products. JHG management believes that the deduction of third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses from revenue in the computation of net revenue reflects the nature of these expenses, as these costs are passed through to external parties that perform functions on behalf of, and distribute, the Group’s managed AUM.

7

(2) Adjustments primarily represent deal and integration costs in relation to the Merger. The costs primarily represent severance costs, legal costs and consulting fees. JHG management believes these costs do not represent the ongoing operations of the Group.

(3) Investment management contracts have been identified as a separately identifiable intangible asset arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses. Such contracts are recognised at the net present value of the expected future cash flows arising from the contracts at the date of acquisition. For segregated mandate contracts, the intangible asset is amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the contracts. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs do not represent the ongoing operations of the Group.

(4) Adjustments primarily represent fair value movements on options issued to Dai-ichi and deferred consideration costs associated with acquisitions. JHG management believes these costs do not represent the ongoing operations of the Group. The options issued to Dai-ichi expired on 3 October 2018.

(5) The tax impact of the adjustments is calculated based on the US or foreign statutory tax rate as they relate to each adjustment. Certain adjustments are either not taxable or not tax-deductible.

Many of these factors are beyond the control of JHG and its management. Any forward-looking statements contained in this document are as at the date on which such statements were made.
