NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Organization and Description of Business

Cohen & Steers, Inc. (CNS) was organized as a Delaware corporation on March 17, 2004. CNS is the holding company for its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (CSCM), Cohen & Steers Securities, LLC (CSS), Cohen & Steers Asia Limited (CSAL), Cohen & Steers UK Limited (CSUK) and Cohen & Steers Japan, LLC (collectively, the Company).

The Company is a global investment manager specializing in liquid real assets, including real estate securities, listed infrastructure, commodities and natural resource equities, as well as preferred securities and other income solutions. Founded in 1986, the Company is headquartered in New York City, with offices in London, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seattle.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The condensed consolidated financial statements set forth herein include the accounts of CNS and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results have been made. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted—In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) revised the guidance applicable to consolidation of legal entities. The revised rules include guidance for evaluating (a) limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) the impact of decision maker or service provider fees on the consolidation analysis, (c) the impact of interests held by related parties on the consolidation analysis and (d) consolidation of certain investment funds. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016, using a full retrospective method. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, the Company reevaluated all of its sponsored funds and management fees under the new guidance. The Company concluded that certain entities that were not previously considered Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) would be considered VIEs under the revised guidance. See Note 4 for further discussion of the Company's seed investments.

In May 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the disclosure of certain investments that calculate net asset value per share (NAV) as a practical expedient. This guidance removes the requirement to categorize such investments within the fair value hierarchy table. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. As a result of adoption, $7.1 million and $6.5 million of NAV investments at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are no longer classified within Level 2 and Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in Note 5 are intended to permit reconciliation of the investments included in the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented on the condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

Accounting Estimates—The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes the estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. On the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the captions "distribution and service fees payable" and "due to broker" have been reclassified from "other liabilities and accrued expenses."

Consolidation of Company-sponsored Funds—The Company consolidates entities, including sponsored funds, that are deemed to be voting interest entities (VOE) when it has financial control over the entity which is generally when the Company owns a majority of the outstanding voting interest. Investments in Company-sponsored funds and management fees are evaluated at inception and subsequently if there is a reconsideration event to determine if the fund is a VIE or VOE and which consolidation model to apply. All of the Company's management fees are presumed to be commensurate and at market and are therefore not considered variable interests. VIEs for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary are consolidated. Investments in Company-sponsored funds that are determined to be VOEs are consolidated when the Company’s ownership interest is greater than 50% of the outstanding voting interests of the fund or when the Company is the general partner of the fund and the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights in the fund. The Company records noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries for which the Company’s ownership is less than 100 percent.

A VIE is an entity in which either (a) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or (b) the group of holders of the equity investment at risk lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect its performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Investments and redemptions or amendments to the governing documents of the respective entities could affect an entity's status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of any VIEs identified by evaluating its economic interests in the entity held either directly by the Company and its affiliates or indirectly through employees. See Note 4 for further discussion about the Company’s seed investments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less.

Due from/to Broker—The Company conducts business, primarily with respect to its consolidated seed investments, with brokers for certain of its investment activities. The clearing and custody operations for these investment activities are performed pursuant to contractual agreements. The due from/to broker balance represents cash and cash equivalents balances at brokers/custodians and/or net receivables and payables for unsettled security transactions.

Investments—Management of the Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination at each statement of financial condition date.

Investments classified as trading represent securities held within the affiliated funds that the Company consolidates and are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices, market prices obtained from independent pricing services engaged by management or as determined by the Company’s valuation committee. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as gain (loss) from trading investments—net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investments classified as equity method investments represent seed investments in which the Company owns between 20-50% of the outstanding voting interests in the fund or when it is determined that the Company is able to exercise significant influence but not control over the investments. When using the equity method, the Company recognizes its respective share of the investee’s net income or loss for the period which is recorded as equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's equity method investments consisted of interests in affiliated funds which measure their underlying investments at fair value based on quoted market prices or NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and report a net asset value on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts of these investments approximate their fair value.

Investments classified as available-for-sale are comprised of equity securities, investment-grade preferred instruments and investments in Company-sponsored open-end funds where the Company has neither control nor the ability to exercise significant influence. These investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices or market prices obtained from independent pricing services engaged by management, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company periodically reviews each individual security position that has an unrealized loss, or impairment, to determine if that impairment is other than temporary. If the Company believes an

(UNAUDITED)

impairment of a security position is other than temporary, based on available quantitative and qualitative information as of the report date, the loss will be recognized as gain (loss) from available-for-sale investments—net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

From time to time, the affiliated funds consolidated by the Company enter into derivative contracts to gain exposure to the underlying commodities markets or to hedge market and credit risks of the underlying portfolios utilizing options, total return swaps, credit default swaps and futures contracts. These instruments are measured at fair value with gains and losses recorded as gain (loss) from trading investments—net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair values of these instruments are recorded in other assets or other liabilities and accrued expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As of September 30, 2016, none of the outstanding derivative contracts were subject to a master netting agreement or other similar arrangement.

Additionally, from time to time, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to hedge its currency exposure related to certain client receivables. These instruments are measured at fair value with gains and losses recorded in other non-operating income in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair values of these contracts are recorded in other assets or other liabilities and accrued expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the Company’s investment in the net assets of an acquired company over the fair value of the underlying identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment by comparing the fair value to their carrying amounts. Finite lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives and are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. See Note 3 for further discussion about the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest—Redeemable noncontrolling interest represents third-party interests in the Company's consolidated entities. This interest is redeemable at the option of the investors and therefore is not treated as permanent equity. Redeemable noncontrolling interest is remeasured at redemption value which approximates the fair value at each reporting period.

Investment Advisory and Administration Fees—The Company earns revenue by providing asset management services to institutional accounts and to Company-sponsored open-end and closed-end funds. Investment advisory fees are earned pursuant to the terms of investment management agreements, and are based on a contractual fee rate applied to the assets in the portfolio. The Company also earns administration fees from certain Company-sponsored open-end and closed-end funds pursuant to the terms of underlying administration contracts. Administration fees are based on the average assets under management of such funds. Investment advisory and administration fee revenue is recognized as such fees are earned.

Distribution and Service Fee Revenue—CSS acts as the principal distributor of the Company’s sponsored open-end funds which may offer the following classes: Class A (initial sales load), Class C (back end sales load), Class R (load retirement) and Class Z (no load retirement). Effective May 2007, the Company suspended sales of Class B shares and all remaining Class B shares converted to Class A shares in 2015. Distribution and service fee revenue is based on the average daily net assets of the funds as detailed below. Distribution and service fee revenue is earned daily and is recorded gross of any third-party distribution and service fee expense for applicable share classes.

Pursuant to distribution plans with the Company's sponsored open-end funds, CSS receives distribution fees of up to 25bps for Class A shares and 75bps for Class C shares. CSS also receives shareholder servicing fees of up to 10bps on Class A shares and 25bps on Class C shares, pursuant to shareholder servicing plans with the funds.

CSS receives combined distribution and shareholder servicing fees of up to 50bps for Class R shares.

Distribution and Service Fee Expense—Distribution and service fee expense includes distribution fees, service fees and intermediary assistance payments. Distribution and service fee expense is recorded as incurred.

COHEN & STEERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

Distribution fee expense represents payments made to qualified dealers/institutions for (i) assistance in connection with the distribution of the Company's sponsored open-end funds' shares and (ii) for other expenses such as advertising costs and printing and distribution of prospectuses to investors. Such amounts may also be used to pay financial intermediaries for services as specified in the terms of written agreements complying with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Rule 12b-1). CSS pays distribution fee expense based on the average daily net assets under management of up to 25bps on Class A shares and 75bps on Class C shares.

Shareholder servicing fee expense represents payments made to qualified dealers/institutions for shareholder account service and maintenance. These services are provided pursuant to written agreements with such qualified institutions. CSS pays service fee expenses based on the average daily net assets under management of up to 10bps on Class A shares and 25bps on Class C shares.

CSS pays combined distribution and service fee expenses based on the average daily net assets under management of up to 50bps on Class R shares.

Intermediary assistance payments represent payments to qualified dealers/institutions for activities related to distribution, shareholder servicing and marketing and support of Company-sponsored open-end funds and are incremental to those described above. Intermediary assistance payments are generally based on the average assets under management or the number of accounts being serviced.

Portfolio Consulting and Other—The Company earns portfolio consulting and other fees by: (i) providing portfolio consulting services in connection with model-based strategy accounts; (ii) earning a licensing fee for the use of the Company's proprietary indexes; and (iii) providing portfolio monitoring services related to a number of unit investment trusts. This revenue is earned pursuant to the terms of the underlying contract, and the fee schedules for these relationships vary based on the type of services the Company provides for each relationship. This revenue is recognized as such fees are earned.

Stock-based Compensation—The Company recognizes compensation expense for the grant-date fair value of awards of equity instruments to employees. This expense is recognized over the period during which employees are required to provide service. The Company also estimates forfeitures.

Income Taxes—The Company records the current and deferred tax consequences of all transactions that have been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the enacted tax laws. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future years at tax rates that are expected to apply in those years. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will result in taxable income in future years at tax rates that are expected to apply in those years. The Company records a valuation allowance, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that more likely than not will be realized. The effective tax rate for interim periods represents the Company’s best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applied to the full fiscal year.

The calculation of the tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits.

Currency Translation and Transactions—Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries having non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated at exchange rates at the applicable condensed consolidated statement of financial condition date. Revenue and expenses of such subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The gains or losses resulting from translating non-U.S. dollar functional currency into U.S. dollars are included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustment was $(5,124,000) and $(3,908,000) as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Gains or losses resulting from non-U.S. dollar currency transactions are included in other non-operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Comprehensive Income—The Company reports all changes in comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income includes net income or loss attributable to common stockholders, foreign currency translation gain and loss (net of tax), unrealized gain and loss from available-for-sale investments (net of tax) and reclassification to statements of operations of gain and loss from available-for-sale investments (net of tax).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance amending the current guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is intended to unify the currently diverse presentations and classifications, which address eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This new guidance will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2018 and requires a retrospective approach to adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this revised guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance amending the current accounting for an investment that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting. The guidance requires that the cost of acquiring an additional interest in the entity, if any, that resulted in the investment qualifying for the equity method be added to the carrying value of the investment. The equity method will then be applied from that point forward without any retroactive application or adjustment. This new guidance will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, excess tax benefits, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This new guidance will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance introducing a new lease model which requires all operating leases to be recorded on the balance sheet as right of use assets and offsetting lease liability obligations. The guidance requires disclosures by lessees and lessors to enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This new guidance will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance amending the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. This new guidance will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance regarding disclosure of going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The guidance requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued at each annual and interim reporting period. This new guidance will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2017. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this new guidance will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance which outlined a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In March 2016, the FASB issued revised guidance which clarifies the guidance related to (a) determining the appropriate unit of account under the revenue standard’s principal versus agent guidance and (b) applying the indicators of whether an entity is a principal or an agent in accordance with the revenue standard’s control principle. In April 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to provide more detailed guidance including additional implementation guidance and examples related to a) identifying performance obligations and b) licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB amended the standard to clarify the guidance on assessing collectibility, presenting sales taxes, measuring noncash consideration, and certain transition matters. This new guidance will be effective for the Company's first quarter of 2018 and requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, as well as the available transition methods.

3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets of an acquired business. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, goodwill was approximately $18,322,000 and $17,975,000, respectively. The Company’s goodwill increased by $347,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of foreign currency revaluation.

(2) Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the seed investment in MLO as if it had been an equity method investment in those periods. Accordingly, unrealized losses in the amount of $(4,755,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $(6,506,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 have been reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates.

The Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (LPX), launched by the Company in December 2015, is an open-end fund for which the Company is the investment adviser. LPX is a VOE and the Company owned the majority of the outstanding voting interests in the fund through February 29, 2016. Accordingly, the underlying assets and liabilities and results of operations of LPX had been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements with the third-party interests classified as redeemable noncontrolling interest. As a result of additional third-party subscriptions into the fund, effective March 1, 2016, the Company no longer owned the majority of the outstanding voting interest in LPX, however it was determined that the Company has significant influence over the financial decisions of LPX and therefore records its investment in LPX using the equity method of accounting. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's ownership in LPX was approximately 23%.

The Cohen & Steers SICAV Global Listed Infrastructure Fund (GLI SICAV), a Luxembourg-domiciled undertaking for collective investments in transferable securities (UCITS), was launched by the Company in September 2015, and meets the definition of an investment company. The Company is the investment adviser of GLI SICAV for which it receives a management fee. GLI SICAV is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2016, the Company was the only investor in the fund and therefore, the Company would absorb all of the expected losses and residual returns of GLI SICAV. Accordingly, the underlying assets and liabilities and results of operations of GLI SICAV have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following represents the portion of the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition attributable to the consolidated GLI SICAV as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The Cohen & Steers Active Commodities Fund, LP (ACOM), launched by the Company in April 2013, is structured as a partnership. The Company is the investment adviser of ACOM for which it is entitled to receive a management fee. The Company determined that ACOM was not a VIE as the limited partners, unaffiliated with the Company, have the ability to liquidate the fund with a majority vote. As a result, the Company does not have financial control and ACOM is not consolidated into the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company's equity interest in ACOM represents a seed investment to launch the fund, adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of the fund's earnings. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's ownership in ACOM was approximately 10%; however, as the general partner, the Company has significant influence over the financial decisions of ACOM and therefore records its investment in ACOM using the equity method of accounting.

The Company is the general partner and investment adviser of GRP-TE, for which it receives a management fee and is entitled to receive an incentive distribution, if earned. GRP-TE is a VIE and the Company is not the primary beneficiary. As the general partner, the Company has significant influence over the financial decisions of GRP-TE and therefore records its investment using the equity method of accounting. The Company's equity interest in GRP-TE represents a seed investment to launch the fund, adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the fund’s earnings. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's ownership in GRP-TE was approximately 0.2%. The Company's risk with respect to its investment in GRP-TE is limited to its equity ownership and any uncollected management fees.

MLO, launched by the Company in December 2013, is an open-end fund for which the Company is the investment adviser. MLO is a VOE and it was determined that the Company had significant influence over the financial decisions of MLO, and therefore through April 30, 2015, the Company recorded its investment in MLO using the equity method of accounting. Effective May 1, 2015, the Company's ownership interest in MLO fell below 20% and the Company no longer had significant influence over MLO. Accordingly, the Company began recording its investment in MLO as an available-for-sale investment.

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, MLO changed classification from available-for-sale to equity method. As a result, all prior periods have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this investment as if it had been an equity method investment in prior periods. Accordingly, unrealized losses in the amount of $(4,755,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $(6,506,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, have been reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates.

(1)    At December 31, 2015, there were no securities with unrealized losses continuously for a period of more than 12 months.

Available-for-sale investments with a fair value of approximately $2,563,000 and $1,779,000 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, were in an unrealized loss position.

Unrealized losses on available-for-sale investments as of September 30, 2016 were generally caused by market conditions. When evaluating whether an unrealized loss on an available-for-sale investment is other than temporary, the Company reviews such factors as the extent and duration of the loss, as well as qualitative and quantitative information about the financial condition and near term prospects of the funds. As of September 30, 2016, the Company determined that it had the ability and intent to hold the remaining investments for which no other-than-temporary impairment has occurred until a recovery of fair value. Accordingly, impairment of these investments is considered temporary.

Sales proceeds, gross realized gains and losses from available-for-sale investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are summarized below (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

5. Fair Value

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820) specifies a hierarchy of valuation classifications based on whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used in each valuation classification are observable or unobservable. These classifications are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

• Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable.

• Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, in which case the Company defaults to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the investments. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performed a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC 820. Transfers among levels, if any, are recorded as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no such transfers noted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The following table presents fair value measurements as of September 30, 2016 (in thousands):

Valuation Techniques

In certain instances, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from an orderly transaction between market participants provided by reputable brokers/dealers or independent pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, independent pricing services may use information with respect to transactions in such investments, broker quotes, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. As part of its independent price verification process, the Company selectively performs detailed reviews of valuations provided by broker/dealers or independent pricing services. Investments in Company-sponsored funds are valued at their closing price or NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient.

Foreign exchange contracts are valued by interpolating a value using the spot foreign exchange rate and forward points (based on the spot rate and currency interest rate differentials), which are all inputs that are observable in active markets (level 2).

In the absence of observable market prices, the Company values its investments using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. For some investments, little market activity may exist; management's determination of fair value is then based on the best information available in the circumstances, and may incorporate management's own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration a combination of internal and external factors. Such investments are valued on a quarterly basis, taking into consideration any changes in key inputs and changes in economic and other relevant conditions, and valuation models are updated accordingly. The valuation process also includes a review by the Company's valuation committee which is comprised of senior members from various departments within the Company, including investment management. The valuation committee provides independent oversight of the valuation policies and procedures.

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the following level 3 investments as of September 30, 2016 were:

	Fair Value		Fair Value	Significant	Input /
	(in thousands)		Methodology	Unobservable Inputs	Range
Limited partnership interests - direct investments in real estate	$	1,255	Discounted cash flows	Discount rate Exit capitalization rates Market rental rates	10% - 12.5% 8% - 8.5% $15.00 - 17.25 psf

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the following level 3 investments as of December 31, 2015 were:

	Fair Value		Fair Value	Significant	Input /
	(in thousands)		Methodology	Unobservable Inputs	Range
Limited partnership interests - direct investments in real estate	$	1,312	Discounted cash flows	Discount rates Exit capitalization rates Market rental rates	10% - 12.5% 8% - 8.5% $15.00 - 17.00 psf

Changes in the significant unobservable inputs in the tables above may result in a materially higher or lower fair value measurement.

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the total weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents are comprised of dilutive potential shares from restricted stock unit awards. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the treasury stock method.

Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents of approximately 19,000 shares were excluded from the computation for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents of approximately 90,000 and 36,000 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

8. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the effective tax rate was approximately 38.2% and 48.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 included the effect of recording a valuation allowance on the tax benefit associated with the retroactive adjustment to record the unrealized losses on one of the Company's seed investments as a result of a change in accounting classification. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 included the cumulative effect to adjust the estimated tax rate to 37.2% for the full year 2016. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 was approximately 37.2% and 40.8%, respectively. The Company expects the tax rate for the full year 2016 to approximate 37.2%, excluding discrete items.

Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of the temporary differences between book and tax basis and are measured using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when such items are expected to reverse. The Company's net deferred tax asset is primarily comprised of future income tax deductions attributable to the delivery of unvested restricted stock units. The Company records a valuation allowance, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that more likely than not will be realized.

9. Regulatory Requirements

CSS, a registered broker/dealer in the U.S., is subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 (the Rule), which requires that broker/dealers maintain a minimum level of net capital, as prescribed under the Rule. As of September 30, 2016, CSS had net capital of approximately $2,764,000, which exceeded its requirements by approximately $2,572,000. The Rule also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital of a broker/dealer is less than the amount required under the Rule and requires prior notice to the SEC for certain withdrawals of capital. In July 2016, CSCM made a capital contribution into CSS in the amount of $2 million.

CSS does not carry customer accounts and is exempt from SEC Rule 15c3-3 pursuant to provisions (k)(1) and (k)(2)(i) of such rule.

CSAL and CSUK are regulated outside the U.S. by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, CSAL and CSUK had aggregate regulatory

23

11. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. There are currently no such matters pending that the Company believes could have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The Company periodically commits to fund a portion of the equity in certain of its sponsored investment products. The Company has committed to co-invest up to $5.1 million alongside GRP-TE, a portion of which is made through GRP-TE and the remainder of which is made through GRP-CIP for up to 12 years through the life of GRP-TE. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has funded approximately $3.3 million with respect to this commitment. The actual timing for funding the unfunded portion of this commitment is currently unknown, as the drawdown of the Company's unfunded commitment is contingent on the timing of drawdowns by the underlying funds and co-investments in which GRP-TE invests. The unfunded

We distribute our U.S. registered funds principally through financial intermediaries, including broker/dealers, registered investment advisers, banks and fund supermarkets. Our funds domiciled in Europe are marketed to individual and institutional investors through financial intermediaries, as well as privately to institutional investors. Our institutional clients include corporate and public defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, endowment funds and foundations, insurance companies and other financial institutions that access our investment management services directly, through consultants or through other intermediaries.

Our revenue is derived from investment advisory fees received from our clients, including fees for managing or sub-advising client accounts, and investment advisory, administration, distribution and service fees received from Company-sponsored open-end and closed-end funds. Our fees are paid in arrears, based on contractually specified percentages of the value of the assets we manage. Our revenue fluctuates with changes in the total value of our assets under management, which may occur as a result of our investment decisions, market conditions, foreign currency fluctuations, or investor subscriptions or redemptions, and is recognized over the period that the assets are managed.

Quarterly Highlights

Revenue increased 9% from the second quarter of 2016 to $94.4 million for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to higher average assets under management in all three investment vehicles and one additional day in the quarter. Operating income increased 9% from the second quarter of 2016 to $37.2 million for the third quarter of 2016. Operating margin decreased to 39.4% for the third quarter of 2016 compared with 39.5% for the second quarter of 2016. Our effective tax rate was 38.2% for the third quarter of 2016.

Assets under management increased by $1.7 billion, or 3%, in the third quarter of 2016 from $58.7 billion as of June 30, 2016 to $60.5 billion as of September 30, 2016. The increase was driven by net inflows and market appreciation, partially offset by distributions. Average assets under management increased by 8% during the third quarter of 2016 from $55.9 billion during the second quarter of 2016 to $60.5 billion during the third quarter of 2016. Our overall annualized organic growth rate was 15% for the third quarter of 2016. The organic growth rate represents the ratio of annualized net flows for the quarter to the beginning assets under management.

Third Quarter 2016 Business Developments

In August 2016, we hired a new head of funds and subadvisory sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He will play a critical role in developing relationships with financial intermediaries in that region, raising awareness of Cohen & Steers' expertise in liquid real assets and income solutions.

U.S. GAAP

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2015

Revenue

Total revenue increased 19% to $94.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $79.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to higher investment advisory and administration fees of $12.6 million, resulting from higher average assets under management in all three investment vehicles.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016:

• Total investment advisory revenue from institutional accounts increased 22% to $25.1 million from $20.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Total investment advisory revenue compared with average assets under management in institutional accounts implies an annualized effective fee rate of 33 bps for both the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

• Total investment advisory and administration revenue from open-end funds increased 24% to $40.8 million from $32.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Total investment advisory and administration revenue compared with average assets under management in open-end funds implies an annualized effective fee rate of 78 bps and 79 bps for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

• Total investment advisory and administration revenue from closed-end funds increased 1% to $20.1 million from $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Total investment advisory and administration revenue compared with average assets under management in closed-end funds implies an annualized effective fee rate of 84 bps and 85 bps for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

33

Expenses

Total operating expenses increased 19% to $57.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $48.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to increases in employee compensation and benefits of $5.1 million, distribution and service fee expenses of $2.5 million, and general and administrative expenses of $953,000.

Employee compensation and benefits increased 20% to $31.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $25.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to increases in incentive compensation of approximately $3.5 million and salaries of approximately $952,000.

Distribution and service fee expenses increased 29% to $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher average assets under management in U.S. open-end funds.

General and administrative expenses increased 8% to $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher information technology expenses of approximately $347,000, marketing expenses of approximately $306,000 and rent and occupancy costs of approximately $192,000.

Operating Margin

Operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 39.4%, compared with 39.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Non-operating Income

Non-operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $1.4 million, compared with non-operating loss of $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The change was primarily due to realized and unrealized gains from our seed investments. Non-operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2015 included an unrealized loss in the amount of $4.8 million that, due to a change in accounting classification, has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this unrealized loss on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Non-operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 included net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $46,000. Non-operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2015 included net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $129,000.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared with $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2016 included U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes at an approximate effective tax rate of 38.2%, which included the cumulative effect to adjust our estimated tax rate to 37.2% for the year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately 48.3% which included the effect of recording a valuation allowance on the tax benefit associated with the retroactive adjustment to record the unrealized losses on one of the company's seed investments as a result of a change in accounting classification. We expect our tax rate for the full year 2016 to approximate 37.2%, excluding discrete items.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

Revenue

Total revenue increased 5% to $260.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $247.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to higher investment advisory and administration fees of $9.8 million, primarily resulting from higher average assets under management in institutional accounts and open-end funds.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

• Total investment advisory revenue from institutional accounts increased 9% to $69.9 million from $64.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Total investment advisory revenue compared with average assets under management in institutional accounts implies an annualized effective fee rate of 33 bps for both the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

34

• Total investment advisory and administration revenue from open-end funds increased 8% to $110.8 million from $102.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Total investment advisory and administration revenue compared with average assets under management in open-end funds implies an annualized effective fee rate of 78 bps and 79 bps for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

• Total investment advisory and administration revenue from closed-end funds decreased 7% to $57.5 million from $61.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Total investment advisory and administration revenue compared with average assets under management in closed-end funds implies an annualized effective fee rate of 84 bps and 85 bps for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Expenses

Total operating expenses increased 7% to $160.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $149.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, due to increases of $7.0 million in employee compensation and benefits, $2.2 million in distribution and service fee expenses, and $889,000 in general and administrative expenses.

Employee compensation and benefits increased 9% to $87.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $80.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to increased incentive compensation of approximately $3.4 million, salaries of approximately $2.3 million, and higher production compensation of approximately $2.1 million, partially offset by lower severance of $400,000.

Distribution and service fee expenses increased 8% to $29.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $27.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher average assets under management in U.S. open-end funds.

General and administrative expenses increased 2% to $38.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $37.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher professional fees of approximately $541,000, higher rent and occupancy costs of approximately $516,000, and increased information technology expenses of approximately $465,000, partially offset by lower travel and entertainment of approximately $451,000 and recruiting fees of approximately $292,000.

Non-operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included an unrealized loss in the amount of $6.5 million that, due to a change in accounting classification, has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this unrealized loss on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Non-operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $149,000. Non-operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $163,000.

Income Taxes

Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our investment advisory business does not require us to maintain significant capital balances. Our current financial condition is highly liquid, with a significant amount of our assets comprised of cash and cash equivalents, equity method investments, available-for-sale investments and accounts receivable (together, liquid assets). Our cash flows generally result from the operating activities of our business, with investment advisory and administration fees being the most significant contributor. Cash and cash equivalents, equity method investments (excluding investments measured at NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement), available-for-sale investments and accounts receivable, were 80% and 71% of total assets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $22.1 million, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate changes, over the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net cash provided by operating activities was $60.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.0 million, which included proceeds from sales of available-for-sale investments in the amount of $15.2 million, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment in the amount of $7.4 million and purchases of available-for-sale investments in the amount of $7.2 million. Net cash of $39.7 million was used in financing activities, primarily for dividends paid to stockholders of $35.9 million and repurchases of common stock to satisfy employee withholding tax obligations on the vesting and delivery of restricted stock units of $8.0 million, partially offset by contributions from redeemable noncontrolling interest of $3.9 million.

38

Cash and cash equivalents increased $21.7 million, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate changes, over the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net cash provided by operating activities was $68.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.2 million, which included proceeds from sales of available-for-sale investments in the amount of $7.0 million, partially offset by purchases of available-for-sale investments in the amount of $4.1 million and purchases of property and equipment in the amount of $1.6 million. Net cash of $47.9 million was used in financing activities, primarily for dividends paid to stockholders of $34.1 million and repurchases of common stock to satisfy employee withholding tax obligations on the vesting and delivery of restricted stock units of $19.2 million, partially offset by excess tax benefits associated with the vesting and delivery of restricted stock units of $4.7 million.

We continuously monitor and evaluate the adequacy of our capital. We have consistently maintained net capital in excess of the regulatory requirements for our broker/dealer, as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 imposes certain requirements that may have the effect of prohibiting a broker/dealer from distributing or withdrawing capital and requiring prior notice to the SEC for certain withdrawals of capital. At September 30, 2016, we exceeded our minimum regulatory capital requirements by approximately $2.6 million. During July 2016, Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. made a capital contribution of $2 million into Cohen & Steers Securities, LLC.

Cohen & Steers Asia Limited (CSAL) and Cohen & Steers UK Limited (CSUK) are regulated outside the U.S. by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, respectively. At September 30, 2016, CSAL and CSUK exceeded their aggregate minimum regulatory capital requirements by approximately $66.6 million. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations will be more than adequate to meet our anticipated capital requirements and other obligations as they become due.

Included in cash and cash equivalents was approximately $88.8 million held by our foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2016. It is our current intention to permanently reinvest funds held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. We believe that our liquid assets held in the U.S. are more than sufficient to cover our working capital needs in the U.S.

We periodically commit to fund a portion of the equity in certain of our sponsored investment products. We have committed to co-invest up to $5.1 million alongside Cohen & Steers Global Realty Partners III-TE, L.P. (GRP-TE). As of September 30, 2016, we have funded approximately $3.3 million with respect to this commitment. Our co-investment alongside GRP-TE is illiquid and is anticipated to be invested for the life of the fund. The timing of the funding of the unfunded portion of our commitment is currently unknown, as the drawdown of our commitment is contingent on the timing of drawdowns by the underlying funds and co-investments in which GRP-TE invests. The unfunded portion of this commitment was not recorded on our condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

We have contractual obligations to make future payments in connection with our noncancelable long-term operating leases for office space, information technology applications and office equipment. There were no material capital lease obligations as of September 30, 2016. The following summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2016 (in thousands):

	2016		2017		2018		2019		2020		2021 and after		Total

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any leasing activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the revised consolidation guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in February 2015. This revised guidance includes guidance for evaluating (a) limited partnership and similar entities, (b) the effect of decision maker fees or service provider fees on the consolidation analysis, (c) the effect of related party interests on the consolidation analysis, and (d) consolidation of certain investment funds. Under the revised guidance, the primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the performance of the VIE and (b) the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions about required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2016.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
