Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
General
Franklin Resources, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries
("the Company") derives its revenue from its principal line of
business which is providing investment management, administra
tion, and related services to the Franklin and Templeton Groups
of Mutual Funds, managed accounts and other investment products.
On October 30, 1992, the Company acquired the assets and
liabilities of Templeton, Galbraith & Hansberger, Ltd.
("Templeton"), which performs investment management,
distribution, and shareholder service functions for the Templeton
Group of Mutual Funds and managed accounts. Total assets under
management as of December 31, 1993 were $114.2 billion.
The Company has a diversified base of assets under management and
a full range of investment management products and services to
meet a wide range of investment needs of individuals and
institutions. The Company continues to expand its range of
investment products and services in the United States and abroad.
The Company's revenues are derived largely from the amount and
composition of assets under management. Consequently,
fluctuations in financial markets impact revenues and the results
of operations. Although current industry expectations are for
continued growth, no assurance can be given that historical
growth levels will be maintained.
Material Changes in Financial Condition
Cash and cash equivalents were $346.0 million at December 31,
1993, an increase of $52.2 million (18%) from $293.8 million at
September 30, 1993. This increase results from the collection of
the increase in receivables generated from the increase in
revenues during the period.
Fee receivables from the Franklin/Templeton Group of Funds were
$74.6 million at December 31, 1993, an increase of $11.1 million
(17%) from $63.5 million at September 30, 1993. This increase
results from an increase in revenue generated from the increase in
funds under management during the period.
Proceeds from sale of funds' shares was zero at December 31, 1993,
decreasing from $39.2 million at September 30, 1993. During the
prior fiscal year such proceeds were processed through the
underwriter subsidiaries bank account. During the current fiscal
year the proceeds were processed through the mutual fund clearing
accounts, consequently these movements are no longer reflected on
the Company's balance sheet.
Franklin Bank loan receivables were $162.9 million at December 31,
1993, an increase of $34.1 million (26%) from $128.8 million at
September 30, 1993. This increase is primarily attributable to
increases in credit card and dealer auto loans.
Trade payables and accrued expenses were $117.8 million at
December 31, 1993, an increase of $26.1 million (28%) from $91.7
million at September 30, 1993. This increase is a result of
greater expenses incurred during the period.
Payable to funds for shares sold was zero at December 31, 1993,
decreasing from $38.7 million at September 30, 1993. This change
resulted from the change as described under the caption above
"proceeds from sale of funds' shares."
Franklin Bank's non-interest bearing demand deposits were $19.9
million at December 31, 1993, an increase of $10.9 million (121%)
from $9.0 million at September 30, 1993. This increase results
from larger balances retained in accounts by customers.
Bank Debt was $284.5 million at December 31, 1993, a decrease of
$11.5 million (4%) from $296.0 million at September 30, 1993.
This decrease is a result of principal payments made during the
period. Swap agreements previously entered into in order to fix
interest rates on $205 million of the original term loan range
from 3.73% to 5.02% on original maturities of one to three years.
The effective rate of interest under the loan facility, including
the reduced margin and payments to be made pursuant to the swap
arrangements was 4.26% at December 31, 1993.
Stockholders' equity was $774.7 million at December 31, 1993, an
increase of $54.3 million (8%) from $720.4 million at September
30, 1993.
Unearned restricted stock compensation was $14.1 million at
December 31, 1993, an increase of $5.8 million (70%) from $8.3
million at September 30, 1993. This increase is the result of
additional grants of the company stock to certain of the
company's employees which is restricted for periods of up to four
years from the date of grant. The value of the grant amounts are
amortized over the restricted period.
Cash provided by operating activities for the three month period
ended December 31, 1993 was $78.5 million, an increase of $50.0
million (175%) from $28.5 million for the three month period
ended December 31, 1992. Net cash expended from investing
activities for the three month period ended December 31, 1993 was
$24.8 million, a decrease of $501.8 million (95%) from $526.6
million for the three month period ended December 31, 1992. This
material change resulted from the use of $628.8 million in the
purchase of Templeton during the prior period reported. The
Company generated a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of
$50.8 million during the three month period ended December 31,
1993, an increase of $184.0 million from a net decrease in cash
and cash equivalents of $133.2 million for the period ended
December 31, 1992. At December 31, 1993, the Company held liquid
assets in excess of $578.6 million, including $353.7 million of
cash and cash equivalents.
Net cash expended from financing activities for the three month
period ended December 31, 1993 was $3.0 million, a decrease of
$367.9 million (101%) from net cash provided of $364.9 million
for the three month period ended December 31, 1992. The material
change resulted from the $360 million issuance of bank debt in
the prior period which was used in the Company's acquisition
financing of Templeton.
(2) Material Changes in Results of Operations
Net income for the three month period ended December 31, 1993 was
$59.0 million, an increase of $24.2 million (70%) from $34.8
million for the three month period ended December 31, 1992.
These increases were primarily attributable to a material
increase in the amount of revenues earned from the Franklin and
Templeton Groups of Funds. The following analysis of material
changes in results of operations include the impact of the
Templeton business from the acquisition date of October 30, 1992.
The Franklin/Templeton business has operated as a unified
organization since the time of the acquisition and consequently,
the following discussion and analysis addresses the unified
organization.
Assets Under Management
Total assets under management were $114.2 billion at December 31,
1993, an increase of $23.4 billion (26%) from 90.8 billion at
December 31, 1992. Such increases during the period are
principally attributable to increased net additions to market
appreciation of assets under management.
As shown in the following table, a material portion (55%) of the
total net assets under management at December 31, 1993 were in
fixed income instruments held in portfolios of tax-free income
funds and U.S. government bond funds. Net assets of tax-free
income funds were $41.4 billion, an increase of $6.6 billion
(19%), from $34.8 billion at December 31, 1992. Net assets of
U.S. government bond funds were $18.4 billion at December 31,
1993, a decrease of $1.2 billion (-6%) over the prior 1992
period. During the period reported, investors continued to be
attracted to tax-free income funds due to the increase in federal
income tax rates and away from U.S. government bond funds as
interest rates generally declined.
Net assets of equity and equity income funds were $40.7 billion
at December 31, 1993, an increase of $16.4 billion (67%) from
$24.3 billion at December 31, 1992. Equity and equity income
funds represent 36% of the Company's total assets under
management at December 31, 1993 as compared to (27%) at December
31, 1992. Investors continued to be attracted to the higher
returns which were generated in the equity and equity income
funds during this period. The Templeton products, which invest
primarily in the global equity and fixed income markets,
continued to receive increased investor interest as compared to
prior periods.
Assets of managed accounts were $8.3 billion at December 31,
1993, an increase of $0.8 billion (11%) from $7.5 billion at
December 31, 1992. Managed account assets represent 7% of the
Company's total assets under management. The Company strongly
believes there are opportunities in the managed account business
and intends to aggressively expand in this area.

The Company furthered the diversification of its assets under
management during the period when it become the investment
manager and underwriter for the $150 million Huntington
international currency funds in November of 1993. The Company
continues to expect interest in its full range of products with
greater relative growth in the global/international equity and
tax-free income products over the near-term.
Operating Revenues
Total operating revenues were $198.5 million for the three month
period ended December 31, 1993, an increase of $67.8 million
(52%) from $130.7 million for the three month period ended
December 31, 1992.
Investment management fees for the three month period ended
December 31, 1993 were $151.9 million, an increase of $49.2
million (48%) from $102.7 million for the three month period in
1992. These increases are the result of a general increase in
assets under management resulting from both market appreciation
and net additional assets under management.
Net underwriting commissions for the three month period ended
December 31, 1993 were $29.6 million, an increase of $14.4
million (95%) from $15.2 million for the three month period ended
December 31, 1992. These increases resulted from higher sales
than in the prior period. Sales of Franklin and Templeton Funds
include a commission of which a significant portion is reallowed
to selling intermediaries. Revenues from underwriting
commissions are earned primarily from Templeton mutual fund sales
and through commissions charged on the reinvestment of dividends
into most Franklin Funds.
It is the Company's intention to modify the Franklin mutual funds
sales commission structure with the implementation of a
distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and the elimination of commissions charged on
the reinvestment of dividends. The Boards of Directors of
certain of the Franklin Group of Funds have approved the adoption
of distribution plans, which are subject to the approval of the
mutual fund's shareholders, and the modified sales commission
structure. The impact of these changes are not expected to have
material overall impact on revenue while providing a more
competitive sales structure. Shareholder approval of these
distribution plans would permit implementation in May, 1994.
Transfer, trust and related fees were $12.0 million for the three
month period ended December 31, 1993, an increase of $3.4 million
(40%) from $8.6 million for the three month period ended December
31, 1992. These fees are generally fixed charges per account
which vary with the particular type of mutual fund and service
being rendered. Consequently, these fees are dependent upon the
number of shareholder accounts, with mutual fund sales and
redemptions generally having a direct impact.
Banking, real estate and other revenues for the three month
period ended December 31, 1993 were $5.1 million, an increase of
$.9 million (21%) from $4.2 million for the three month period
ended December 31, 1992. The banking subsidiary incurred
operating loss of $.03 million during the three month period
ended December 31, 1993, a decrease of $2.5 million (101%) from
$2.5 million for the three month period ended December 31, 1992.
Management does not currently anticipate any immediate
significant increase in earnings. The Company's real estate
operations incurred an operating loss of $0.3 million for the
three month period ended December 31, 1993, an improvement of
$1.3 million (81%) from a loss of $1.6 million for the three
month period ended December 31, 1992. These losses are a result
of the continued depressed real estate market.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $107.0 million for the three month period
ended December 31, 1993, an increase of $31.6 million (42%) from
$75.4 million for the three month period ended December 31, 1992.
These increases principally result from the general expansion of
the Company's business.
General and administrative expenses for the three month period
ended December 31, 1993 were $84.5 million, an increase of $24.7
million (41%) from $59.8 million for the three month period ended
December 31, 1992. A significant portion of this increase is a
result of higher employment costs resulting from increased
employment and premise and equipment increases resulting from the
expansion of the Company's business.
Selling expenses were $15.7 million for the three month period
ended December 31, 1993, an increase of $4.0 million (34%) from
$11.7 million for the three month period ended December 31, 1992.
The Company continues to capitalize on the positive environment
in the investment management industry by advertising and
promoting the Company's range of investment products and services
in the United States and other international markets.
Amortization of goodwill was $4.5 million for the three month
period ended December 31, 1993, an increase of $3.5 million
(350%) from $1.0 million for the three month period ended
December 31, 1992. This increase is attributable to the
amortization of goodwill resulting from the Company's acquisition
of Templeton.
Interest expense of the banking subsidiary was $2.4 million, a
decrease of $.0.4 million (14%) from $2.8 million for the three
month period ended December 31, 1992. These decreases result
primarily from the generally falling levels of market interest
rates during the period.
Total operating expenses will likely continue to increase with
the Company's continued expansion, the increase in competition
and the Company's commitment to continually improving its
products and services. The Company continues to focus on
operating profit margins as opposed to the absolute level of
operating expenses while the Company expands. Operating income
as a percentage of operating revenue was 46% for the three month
period ended December 31, 1993 as compared to 42% for the
comparable period ended 1992.
Operating income for the three month period ending December 31,
1993 was $91.5 million, an increase of $36.2 million (65%) from
$55.3 million for the three month period ended December 31, 1992.
Growth in operating income will continue to be dependant upon
general economic growth, the strength of the capital markets and
the Company's ability to meet market demands with competitive
products and services.
Other Income (Expense)
Investment and other income for the three month period ended
December 31, 1993 was $5.7 million, a decrease of $.0.7 million
(11%) from $6.4 million for the three month period ended December
31, 1992. The net decrease in investment income resulted from a
combination of factors, including the decline in the average
level of interest rates and lower dividend rates on investments.
Non-banking interest expense for the three month period ended
December 31, 1993 was $8.1 million, an increase of $2.6 million
(47%) from $5.5 million for the three month period ended December
31, 1992. The increase in interest expense is attributable to
the debt incurred in the Company's acquisition of Templeton.
