| (in thousands) | Three Months Ended | | | | | |
| December 31, 2023 | | September 30, 2023 | | $ Change | | % Change | |
| Employee compensation and benefits | $ | 49,601 | | | $ | 52,830 | | | $ | (3,229) | | | (6.1) | % | |

| | | | | | | | |
•Employee compensation and benefits decreased $3.2 million from the third quarter of 2023. Due to the full year decline in operating results, incentive compensation in the fourth quarter was reduced to reflect actual amounts expected to be paid;
•Distribution and service fees decreased from the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower average assets under management in U.S. open-end funds;
•General and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million from the third quarter of 2023. The third quarter included an adjustment of $1.4 million that reduced projected costs associated with the completed implementation of the company's new trade order management system to reflect the actual amount paid; and
•Depreciation and amortization increased from the third quarter of 2023. The company began depreciating fixed assets and leasehold improvements associated with its new corporate headquarters which became operational in December. This accounts for the majority of the incremental expense from the third quarter.
Operating Margin

Investment Performance as of December 31, 2023
_________________________
(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Outperformance is determined by comparing the annualized investment performance of each investment strategy to the performance of specified reference benchmarks. Investment performance in excess of the performance of the benchmark is considered outperformance. The investment performance calculation of each investment strategy is based on all active accounts and investment models pursuing similar investment objectives. For accounts, actual investment performance is measured gross of fees and net of withholding taxes. For investment models, for which actual investment performance does not exist, the investment performance of a composite of accounts pursuing comparable investment objectives is used as a proxy for actual investment performance. The performance of the specified reference benchmark for each account and investment model is measured net of withholding taxes, where applicable.

Reconciliations of U.S. GAAP to As Adjusted Financial Results
Management believes that use of the following as adjusted (non-GAAP) financial results provides greater transparency into the company’s operating performance. In addition, these as adjusted financial results are used to prepare the company's internal management reports which are used in evaluating its business.
While management believes that these as adjusted financial results are useful in evaluating operating performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Effective January 1, 2023, the company revised its methodology for as adjusted results to include interest and dividends from seed investments. Prior period amounts have not been recast to conform with the current period results as the impact was not significant.
