Assets Under Management
Assets under management (AUM) at March 31, 2008 were $470.3 billion (December 31, 2007: $500.1 billion; March 31, 2007: $471.2 billion). Average AUM during the first quarter of 2008 were $476.6 billion, compared to $509.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2007. The decline in average AUM was largely driven by the downturn in global equity markets during the first quarter of 2008. Average AUM during the first quarter of 2007 were $466.9 billion.
Total net in flows were $1.2 billion for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to total net outflows of $1.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2007. The net inflows of $1.2 billion comprised $9.6 billion in net inflows from money market funds (fourth quarter 2007: net inflows of $3.5 billion) offset by long-term net outflows of $8.4 billion (fourth quarter 2007: net outflows of $5.0 billion). Further analysis of AUM is included in the supplemental schedules to this release.
Earnings Summary
Operating revenues decreased 11.0% to $910.4 million in the first quarter from $1,023.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Operating revenues increased 1.1% from $900.2 million in the first quarter of 2007. Operating revenues include performance fees of $11.0 million for the first quarter of 2008 (fourth quarter 2007: $13.1 million; first quarter 2007: $18.8 million). Net revenues were $684.2 million for the first quarter of 2008 (fourth quarter 2007: $766.7 million; first quarter 2007: $674.9 million). See page 6 for a reconciliation of operating revenues to net revenues.
Employee compensation costs decreased 4.7% to $272.8 million for the first quarter of 2008 from $286.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, primarily due to a decrease in variable compensation. Employee compensation costs decreased 4.0% from $284.3 million for the first quarter of 2007, also driven by a decrease in variable compensation.
Third-party distribution, service and advisory costs decreased 13.3% to $247.1 million for the first quarter of 2008 from $284.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, moving in line with investment management and service and distribution fees.
Property, office and technology costs decreased 16.9% to $50.1 million for the first quarter of 2008 from $60.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, due in part to a reduction in rent costs for vacant office property totaling $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2008.
General and administrative costs decreased 34.2% to $68.4 million for the first quarter of 2008 from $104.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. Within fourth quarter 2007 general and administrative costs were charges totaling $22.6 million related to the relisting of the company and a litigation settlement.
The effective tax rate, after minority interests, declined to 32.2 % for the first quarter of 2008 (fourth quarter 2007: 34.2%; first quarter 2007: 34.5 %) as a result of decreasing statutory tax rates in the U.K. and Canada.
Capital Management
In March 2008, the company completed the $500.0 million share repurchase program that was authorized by the board of directors in June 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, purchases related to this program totaled $154.5 million, representing 6.1 million shares.
On April 23, 2008, the company’s board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program up to $1.5 billion with no stated expiration date.
Consistent with common practice for most U.S. listed companies, dividends will be declared and paid on a quarterly basis. On April 23, 2008, the company’s board of directors declared a first quarter cash dividend of $0.10 per share to holders of our common stock, which would, on an annualized basis, represent a 4.2% increase over the 2007 total dividend of $0.384 per share. The dividend is payable on June 9, 2008 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 21, 2008.

Schedule of Non-GAAP Information

The following is a reconciliation of operating revenues, operating income
and operating margin on a U.S. GAAP basis to net revenues, net operating income and net operating margin.
| | For the three months ended |
| | March 31, 2008 | December 31, 2007 | March 31, 2007 |
Operating revenues, GAAP basis | $910. 4 | $1,023.1 | $900.2 |
Third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses | (247.1) | (284.9) | (232.4) |
Proportional share of revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from joint venture investments | 20.9 | 28.5 | 7.1 |
Net revenues (1) | $684. 2 | $766.7 | $674.9 |
| | | | |
Operating income, GAAP basis | $228.1 | $243.7 | $232.1 |
Proportional share of operating income from joint venture investments | 17.2 | 19.8 | 5.4 |
Net operating income (1) | $245.3 | $263.5 | $237.5 |

Operating margin* | 25.1% | 23.8% | 25.8% |
Net operating margin** (1) | 35.9 % | 34.4% | 35.2% |
| | | | |
* Operating margin is equal to operating income divided by operating revenues.
** Net operating margin is equal to net operating income divided by net revenues.
(1) Net revenues, net operating income and net operating margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these measures are additional meaningful measures to evaluate our operating performance. The most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are operating revenues, operating income and operating margin. Management believes that the deduction of third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses from operating revenues in the computation of net revenues and the related computation of net operating margin provides useful information to investors because the distribution, service and advisory fee amounts represent costs that are passed through to external parties, which essentially are a share of the related revenues. Management also believes that the addition of our proportional share of revenues, net of distribution expenses, from joint venture investments in the computation of net revenues and the addition of our proportional share of operating income in the related computations of net operating income and net operating margin also provide useful information to investors, as management considers it appropriate to evaluate the contribution of its growing joint venture investment to the operations of the business. Net revenues, net operating income and net operating margin should not be considered as substitutes for any measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
