FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC. Forward-Looking Statements The financial results in this presentation are preliminary. Statements in this presentation regarding Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin”) and its subsidiaries, which are not historical facts, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this presentation, words or phrases generally written in the future tense and/or preceded by words such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “preliminary” or other similar words are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, some of which are listed below, that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from any future results or outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. These and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors are described in more detail in Franklin’s recent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, in Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Franklin’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and Franklin’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q: (1) volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and adverse changes in the global economy, may significantly affect our results of operations and may put pressure on our financial results; (2) the amount and mix of our assets under management (“AUM”) are subject to significant fluctuations; (3) we are subject to extensive and complex, overlapping and frequently changing rules, regulations and legal interpretations; (4) regulatory and legislative actions and reforms have made the regulatory environment in which we operate more costly and future actions and reforms could adversely impact our AUM, increase costs and negatively impact our profitability and future financial results; (5) failure to comply with the laws, rules or regulations in any of the non-U.S. jurisdictions in which we operate could result in substantial harm to our reputation and results of operations; (6) changes in tax laws or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity; (7) any significant limitation, failure or security breach of our information and cyber security infrastructure, software applications, technology or other systems that are critical to our operations could constrain our operations; (8) our business operations are complex and a failure to properly perform operational tasks or the misrepresentation of our products and services, or the termination of investment management agreements representing a significant portion of our AUM, could have an adverse effect on our revenues and income; (9) we face risks, and corresponding potential costs and expenses, associated with conducting operations and growing our business in numerous countries; (10) we depend on key personnel and our financial performance could be negatively affected by the loss of their services; (11) strong competition from numerous and sometimes larger companies with competing offerings and products could limit or reduce sales of our products, potentially resulting in a decline in our market share, revenues and income; (12) changes in the third-party distribution and sales channels on which we depend could reduce our income and hinder our growth; (13) our increasing focus on international markets as a source of investments and sales of investment products subjects us to increased exchange rate and other risks in connection with our revenues and income generated overseas; (14) harm to our reputation or poor investment performance of our products could reduce the level of our AUM or affect our sales, potentially negatively impacting our revenues and income; (15) our future results are dependent upon maintaining an appropriate level of expenses, which is subject to fluctuation; (16) our ability to successfully integrate widely varied business lines can be impeded by systems and other technological limitations; (17) our inability to successfully recover should we experience a disaster or other business continuity problem could cause material financial loss, loss of human capital, regulatory actions, reputational harm, or legal liability; (18) certain of the portfolios we manage, including our emerging market portfolios, are vulnerable to significant market-specific political, economic or other risks, any of which may negatively impact our revenues and income; (19) regulatory and governmental examinations and/or investigations, litigation and the legal risks associated with our business, could adversely impact our AUM, increase costs and negatively impact our profitability and/or our future financial results; (20) our ability to meet cash needs depends upon certain factors, including the market value of our assets, operating cash flows and our perceived creditworthiness; (21) our business could be negatively affected if we or our banking subsidiaries fail to satisfy regulatory and supervisory standards; and (22) we are dependent on the earnings of our subsidiaries. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. The information in this presentation is provided solely in connection with this presentation, and is not directed toward existing or potential investment advisory clients or fund shareholders. 2

FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC. Highlights • The fourth quarter capped off another record year of operating results with revenues, operating income and net income reaching all-time highs. • Equity and hybrid net new flows improved to $5.6 billion, due to steadily increasing sales, which grew 33% from the prior year, and net exchanges from fixed income funds. This was offset by weaker global and tax- free fixed income flows. • Templeton global equity performance continues to improve, with approximately 90% of assets ranked in the top two quartiles versus its peer group for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods, and returned to positive flows. 4

FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC. Appendix
FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC. Sales and Distribution Summary 24 (in millions, for the three months ended) Unaudited The table to the left summarizes the asset and sales based distribution fees, net of expense. • Asset based expenses are generally not directly correlated with asset based revenue due to international fee structures which provide for recovery of certain distribution costs through investment management fees. • Sales based expenses are determined as a percentage of sales and are incurred from the same commissionable sales transactions that generate sales fee revenues. • Deferred sales commissions, which are related to up-front commissions on shares sold without a front- end sales charge, are amortized over the periods in which commissions are generally recovered from distribution fee revenues (and to a lesser extent, from contingent deferred sales charges received from shareholders of the funds upon redemption of their shares). See the MD&A section of the Company’s recent Form 10-Q for additional information. • The change in asset based fees, net is primarily attributable to the reclassification of rebates of investment management and distribution fees related to our international business. • Commissionable sales represented approximately 12% of long-term sales this quarter. 30-Sep-13 30-Jun-13 Change % Change Asset based fees, net (94.0)$ (129.3)$ 35.3$ (27%) Sales based fee , t 16.3 16.0 0.3 2% Amortization of d f r e sales commissions (35.2) (35.0) (0.2) 1% Sales and Distribut on Fees, Net (112.9)$ (148.3)$ 35.4$ (24%)
