These financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As a result, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. These financial statements rely, in part, on estimates. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been reflected for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. The results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. NOTE 2 EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE On August 9, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 3-for-2 stock split of its common stock to shareholders of record on September 20, 2001. On May 9, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors declared another stock split - a 2-for-1 stock split to be effected as a dividend to shareholders of record as of June 3, 2002. All references in the consolidated financial statements and notes as to number of shares, per share amounts and market prices of the Company's common stock have been restated to reflect the increased number of shares outstanding. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income and the weighted average common shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In thousands, For the three months ended except per share data June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001 Net Per-share Net Per-share income Shares amount income Shares amount ------------------------------------------------------------- Net income $30,452 $28,015 Less: Preferred stock dividends (70) (281) ------- ------- Basic EPS 30,382 94,398 $0.32 27,734 93,820 $0.30 Dilutive effect of: Restricted stock - 463 - 272 Employee stock options - 3,662 - 3,536 Assumed conversion of preferred stock 70 618 281 4,124 ------- ------- ------- ------- Diluted EPS $30,452 99,141 $0.31 $28,015 101,752 $0.28 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 - --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- In thousands, For the six months ended except per share data June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001 Net Per-share Net Per-share income Shares amount income Shares amount ------------------------------------------------------------- Net income $60,441 $55,974 Less: Preferred stock dividends (141) (844) ------- ------- Basic EPS 60,300 94,659 $0.64 55,130 93,752 $0.59 Dilutive effect of: Restricted stock - 369 - 272 Employee stock options - 3,716 - 3,626 Assumed conversion of preferred stock 141 618 844 4,536 ------- ------- ------- Diluted EPS $60,441 99,362 $0.61 $55,974 102,186 $0.55 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options to purchase 2,170,000 and 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' respective weighted average exercise prices of $29.45 and $18.91 per share were greater than the average market price of the Company's common shares during the applicable period. NOTE 3 NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENT Nuveen Investments, the Company's wholly owned broker/dealer subsidiary, is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-1, the "Uniform Net Capital Rule," which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, as these terms are defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At June 30 2002, Nuveen Investments' net capital ratio was 1.37 to 1 and its net capital was $23,952,000, which is $21,760,000 in excess of the required net capital of $2,192,000. NOTE 4 ACQUISITION OF SYMPHONY ASSET MANAGEMENT On July 16, 2001, Nuveen acquired Symphony Asset Management, LLC ("Symphony"). Symphony is an institutional investment manager based in San Francisco. The aggregate purchase price was $208.3 million, of which approximately $4.5 million was allocated to the net book value of assets acquired. Net book value consisted primarily of cash, fee receivables and payables. The remaining purchase price has been allocated to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Of the $45.8 million of acquired intangible assets, $43.8 million was assigned to existing contractual customer relationships (19.7-year estimated useful life), $1.6 million to internally developed software (5-year estimated useful life), and the remaining $0.4 million to a favorable lease (38-month useful life). For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, the aggregate amortization expense relating to amortizable intangible assets acquired in the Symphony acquisition was approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. As Symphony was not acquired until July 16, 2001, there was no amortization expense relating to Symphony amortizable intangible assets for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001. The following table sets forth the gross carrying amounts of the acquired amortizable intangible assets and their corresponding accumulated amortization amounts as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001: 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Acquired Amortizable Intangible Assets (in thousands) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gross Carrying Accumulated Amortization As Of: Amount 6/30/02 12/31/01 ------------------------------------------- Customer relationships $43,800 $ 2,111 $ 1,000 Internally developed software 1,622 296 134 Favorable lease 369 168 110 ------- ------- -------- Total $45,791 $ 2,575 $ 1,244 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The estimated aggregate annual amortization expense for each of the next five years is approximately $2.7 million. The transaction price will have potential additional future payments up to a maximum of $180 million based on Symphony's reaching specified performance and growth targets for its business. Any future payments will be recorded as additional goodwill. There were no such payments for the year ended December 31, 2001 or during the six months ended June 30, 2002. The following unaudited actual information for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and unaudited pro-forma information for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 reflect a summary of the consolidated results of operations of Nuveen and Symphony as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2001. (In thousands, except per share data). - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Reported Three Months Pro-Forma As Reported Pro-forma Ended Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001 June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $90,348 $93,552 $182,957 $187,050 Net Income $30,452 $28,055 $ 60,441 $ 56,269 Earnings per common share (diluted) $ 0.31 $ 0.28 $ 0.61 $ 0.55 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 5 GOODWILL - ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 142 In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead that they be tested for impairment at least annually using a two-step process. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future periods to be benefited. Effective January 1, 2002 (adoption date of SFAS No. 142), goodwill is no longer being amortized, but is subject to the impairment rules of SFAS No. 142. The first step of the SFAS No. 142 goodwill impairment test is to identify potential impairment and, in the year of adoption, this step must be measured as of the beginning of the fiscal year. A company has six months from the date of adoption to complete the first step (in the case of Nuveen, June 30, 2002). The second step of the goodwill impairment test (which only has to be performed if the results from the first step of the goodwill impairment test indicate that there is potential impairment) measures the amount of the impairment loss (measured as of the beginning of the year of adoption), if any, and must be completed by the end of a company's fiscal year. 9 We have completed the first step of the SFAS No. 142 goodwill impairment test and our results indicate that, as of January 1, 2002, there is no indication of potential impairment of goodwill. In 2001 (prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142), we incurred annual goodwill amortization expense of approximately $8 million ($2.0 million and $4.0 million before taxes, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively). The following table presents what net income would have been for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 as if the new accounting rules effective January 1, 2002 (goodwill is no longer being amortized) were in effect as of January 1, 2001. Adjusted per-share amounts are also presented. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands, except for earnings FOR THE THREE MONTHS FOR THE SIX MONTHS per share amounts) ENDED ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------- Net income, as reported $ 30,452 $ 28,015 $ 60,441 $ 55,974 Addback: goodwill amortization, net of tax - 1,211 - 2,422 ---------------------------------------------------------- Adjusted net income $ 30,452 $ 29,226 $ 60,441 $ 58,396 BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE: Net income, as reported $ 0.32 $ 0.30 $ 0.64 $ 0.59 Goodwill amortization, net of tax - 0.01 - 0.03 ---------------------------------------------------------- Adjusted net income $ 0.32 $ 0.31 $ 0.64 $ 0.62 DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE: Net income, as reported $ 0.31 $ 0.28 $ 0.61 $ 0.55 Goodwill amortization, net of tax - 0.01 - 0.02 ---------------------------------------------------------- Adjusted net income $ 0.31 $ 0.29 $ 0.61 $ 0.57 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 6 NOTES PAYABLE On August 10, 2000, the Company entered into a $250 million revolving line of credit with a group of banks that extends through August 2003. The committed line is divided into two equal facilities, one of which has a three-year term, the other is renewable in 364 days. Proceeds from borrowings under the facility are used for fulfilling day to day cash requirements and general corporate purchases including acquisitions, share repurchases and asset purchases. The rate of interest payable under the agreement is, at the Company's option, a function of one of various floating rate indices. The agreement requires the Company to pay a facility fee at an annual rate of .095% of the committed amount for the three-year facility and .08% of the committed amount for the 364-day facility. The Company has the option to provide collateral to secure borrowings under this line of credit. At June 30, 2002, there were two borrowings under this committed line. The Company borrowed $125 million under the three-year facility, and $58 million under the 364-day facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the weighted average interest rate on these two borrowings was 2.1% for both the 364-day facility and the three-year facility. Subsequent to quarter-end, all of the outstanding debt on this revolving line of credit was paid down and new borrowings were made under a new loan facility (see Note 8). 10 NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Included in Other Assets is a note receivable of approximately $2 million relating to a loan made to one of Symphony's prior owners, Maestro LLC. The members of Maestro LLC are also employees of Symphony. This uncollateralized, interest-bearing loan is payable on or before December 31, 2006 and carries an interest rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate published by the Secretary of the Treasury (as of July 2002, the applicable interest rate is 4.60% per annum). Any contingent consideration payment from the Symphony acquisition (see Note 4) may be used to satisfy this loan obligation. NOTE 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 31, 2002, Nuveen entered into and drew down fully on a $250 million revolving loan agreement with its majority shareholder, The St. Paul Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul"). This loan facility expires on July 15, 2003 and carries a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of up to 0.25%. A portion of the proceeds from this $250 million loan was used to repay the existing outstanding debt of $183 million. On August 1, 2002, Nuveen completed the acquisition of NWQ Investment Management ("NWQ"). NWQ is an asset management firm based in Los Angeles, California with approximately $7 billion of assets under management. NWQ specializes in value-oriented equity investments with significant relationships among institutions and financial advisors serving high net worth investors. As a result of the acquisition, Nuveen expects to broaden and diversify its asset base even further by adding a value-manager into its managed accounts business. With the acquisition of NWQ, Nuveen will be able to offer a single source for managed accounts that employ growth, value, and fixed-income strategies. Nuveen will pay NWQ's current owner, Old Mutual (U.S.) Holdings, Inc. ("Old Mutual"), cash in the amount of $140 million, which will include up to $20 million over 5 years that can be offset by fees paid to Old Mutual affiliates under a strategic alliance agreement. A combination of existing available cash as well as a portion of the proceeds from the new loan agreement with St. Paul was used to fund the payment made at closing. Nuveen has engaged external valuation experts to determine the appropriate purchase price allocation. On August 8, 2002, Nuveen renewed its 364-day credit facility. The terms of the facility fee and interest rate payable remain unchanged from that disclosed in Note 6. 11 PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS JUNE 30, 2002 DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS - --------------------------- Our principal businesses are asset management and related research as well as the development, marketing, and distribution of investment products and services for the affluent, high-net-worth and the institutional market segments. We distribute our investment products and services, including mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and individually managed accounts, to the affluent and high-net-worth market segments through unaffiliated intermediary firms including broker/dealers, commercial banks, affiliates of insurance providers, financial planners, accountants, consultants and investment advisors. We also provide investment products to institutional markets. The financial advisors we support serve affluent and high-net-worth investors. We provide consultative services to these financial advisors with a primary focus on managed assets for fee-based customers and structured investment services for transaction-based advisors. Our primary business activities generate three principal sources of revenue: (1) ongoing advisory fees earned on assets under management, including mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and separately managed accounts, (2) distribution revenues earned upon the sale of certain investment products and (3) incentive fees earned on certain institutional accounts based on the performance of such accounts. Sales of our products, and their profitability, are directly affected by many variables, including investor preferences for equity, fixed-income or other investments, the availability and attractiveness of competing products, market performance, continued access to distribution channels, changes in interest rates, inflation, and income tax rates and laws. RECENT EVENTS - ------------- The following events are relevant to the understanding of our second quarter 2002 results: On July 16, 2001, we completed the acquisition of Symphony Asset Management LLC ("Symphony") for $208 million in cash. These funds were provided through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our committed credit facilities. Symphony, an institutional investment manager based in San Francisco, manages portfolios designed to reduce risk through market-neutral and other alternative-investment strategies in several equity and fixed-income asset classes. Symphony's business generates two principal sources of revenue: (1) ongoing advisory fees based on assets under management, and (2) incentive fees earned on certain institutional accounts based on performance of the accounts. On August 9, 2001, we announced a 3-for-2 stock split of our common stock. The stock split was effected as a dividend to shareholders of record as of September 20, 2001. Shareholders received one additional share of Nuveen common stock for every two shares that they owned as of the record date. On May 9, 2002, we announced a 2-for-1 split of our commons stock. The stock split was effected as a dividend to shareholders of record as of June 3, 2002. For comparability, prior period share information has been restated for both stock splits. 12 The Board of Directors for each of the Nuveen Money Market Funds decided to close all of the Funds effective August 24, 2001. Due to shrinking demand from investors who increasingly use brokerage sweep accounts for their cash management needs, the Funds did not maintain a self-sustaining level of assets. In early 2002, we announced our intention to stop depositing continuously offered equity and fixed-income defined portfolio products. As anticipated, this scale-back plan was completed by the end of the first quarter of 2002. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - ----------------- On August 1, 2002 we finalized the acquisition of NWQ Investment Management ("NWQ"), an asset management firm based in Los Angeles with approximately $7 billion of assets under management. NWQ specializes in value-oriented equity investments with significant relationships among institutions and financial advisors serving high net worth investors. Cash payments of $140 million will be paid to Old Mutual (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., which includes up to $20 million to be paid over the next five years under the terms of a strategic alliance agreement. Retention programs have been put in place, including an equity-based program designed to enable key management to participate in NWQ's future earnings growth. SUMMARY OF OPERATING RESULTS - ---------------------------- The table below presents the highlights of our operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001: FINANCIAL RESULTS SUMMARY COMPANY OPERATING STATISTICS ($ in millions except per share amounts) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2002 2001 % CHANGE 2002 2001 % CHANGE ---- ---- -------- ---- ---- -------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross sales of investment products $ 3,321 $ 3,256 2% $ 6,710 $ 7,067 (5%) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets under management (1)(2) 68,496 62,990 9 68,496 62,990 9 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating revenues 90.3 86.2 5 183.0 171.9 6 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating expenses 40.6 40.9 (1) 83.6 81.9 2 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretax income 50.0 46.4 8 99.4 92.2 8 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income 30.5 28.0 9 60.4 56.0 8 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic earnings per share (3) 0.32 0.30 7 0.64 0.59 8 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted earnings per share (3) 0.31 0.28 11 0.61 0.55 11 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dividends per share (3) 0.12 0.12 - 0.24 0.23 4 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) At period end. (2) Excludes defined portfolio assets under surveillance. (3) The prior period has been adjusted to reflect the 3-for-2 stock split that occurred in September of 2001 and the 2-for-1 split that occurred in June of 2002. Gross sales for the quarter were $3.3 billion, up 2% versus the prior year. Our fixed-income sales continued to be strong across all product lines. Overall, fixed income sales were $2.4 billion, up 86% 13 versus the prior year. This increase was driven by our exchange-traded funds as we raised more than $1.4 billion in new closed-end funds assets. This included approximately $500 million from leveraging several new closed-end funds we introduced in the first quarter of 2002 and approximately $900 million through the initial offering of the Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund. Strong interest in fixed-income products also helped drive the increase in mutual fund sales and fixed income managed account sales, which were $371 million and $625 million for the quarter, respectively, up 28% and 79% versus the prior year. These strong fixed-income sales were offset by a decline in equity sales as a result of the downturn in the equity markets. Defined portfolio product sales declined as a result of our decision in the first quarter of 2002 to discontinue this product line. Net flows (equal to the sum of sales, reinvestments and exchanges less redemptions) totaled $0.6 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 with positive flows from fixed-income products accounting for $2.0 billion. Offsetting these strong flows, our equity mutual funds and managed accounts experienced net outflows of $0.8 billion for the quarter as a result of weakened equity market conditions. Additionally, our alternative investment products also experienced net outflows for the second quarter as we exited certain non-hedge fund advisory mandates. Total assets under management at the end of the second quarter of 2002 were $68.5 billion. This is an increase in of $5.5 billion or 9% versus the $63.0 billion in assets at the end of the second quarter 2001. This increase in assets under management was driven by the inclusion of Symphony assets ($4 billion) and as a result of net flows into funds and accounts. Operating revenues for the quarter totaled $90.3 million, an increase of 5% over the $86.2 million in operating revenues recorded in the second quarter of 2001. This increase was driven by a 9% increase in advisory fees as a result of an increase in average assets under management, mainly in our fixed income businesses, and the inclusion of Symphony advisory fees. Operating expenses for the quarter declined 1% when compared with the prior year. Excluding the impact of Symphony, operating expenses declined 8%, mainly as a result of decreased goodwill amortization expense (due to new accounting rules effective 2002). However, even after considering the impact of both Symphony and the new accounting rules effective in 2002, total operating expenses for the quarter were down 3% compared with the prior year. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- The following discussion and analysis contains important information that should be helpful in evaluating our results of operations and financial condition, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Total advisory fee income earned during any period is directly related to the market value of the assets we manage. Advisory fee income will increase with a rise in the level of assets under management. Assets under management rise with the sale of fund shares, the addition of new managed accounts or deposits into existing managed accounts, the acquisition of assets under management from other advisory companies, or through increases in the value of portfolio investments. Assets under management may also increase as a result of reinvestment of distributions from funds and accounts, and from reinvestment of distributions from defined portfolio products we sponsor into shares of mutual funds. Fee income will decline when managed assets decline, as would occur when the values of fund portfolio investments decrease or when mutual fund redemptions or managed account withdrawals exceed sales and reinvestments. 14 Distribution revenue is earned as defined portfolio and mutual fund products are sold to the public through financial advisors. Correspondingly, distribution revenue will rise and fall with the level of our sales of these products, and has been impacted by our decision to discontinue the defined portfolio product line in 2002. Gross sales of investment products for three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are shown below: - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GROSS INVESTMENT PRODUCT SALES (in millions) THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---- ---- ---- ---- Managed Assets: Exchange-Traded Funds $ 1,462 $ 579 $ 2,570 $ 1,740 Mutual Funds 371 290 657 595 Managed Accounts - Retail 1,322 1,892 2,983 3,693 Managed Accounts - Institutional 166 108 306 242 ------- ------- ------- ------- Total Managed Assets 3,321 2,869 6,516 6,270 Defined Portfolios - 387 194 797 ------- ------- ------- ------- Total $ 3,321 $ 3,256 $ 6,710 $ 7,067 ======= ======= ======= ======= - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross sales of investment products decreased 5% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 when compared with the same period in 2001, due to our exit of the defined portfolio business. Excluding the impact of our exit of the defined portfolio business, we grew our sales 4%. Sales of our 2002 ETF offerings combined with the leveraging of the November 2001 offerings totaled $2.6 billion, up 48% versus the prior year. Retail managed account sales were down 19% from a year ago, reflecting volatility and general weakened equity market conditions. Defined portfolio sales declined 76% as a result of our decision at the beginning of 2002 to discontinue our defined portfolio product line. The following table summarizes net assets under management: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT (1) (in millions) JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, 2002 2001 2001 ------- ------- ------- Mutual Funds $11,641 $11,814 $11,491 Exchange-Traded Funds 35,051 32,000 30,012 Managed Accounts 21,804 24,671 21,058 Money Market Funds - - 429 ------- ------- ------- Total $68,496 $68,485 $62,990 ======= ======= ======= (1) Excludes defined portfolio product assets under surveillance - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets under management grew 9% to $68.5 billion, an increase of $5.5 billion from the end of June 2001. Symphony assets accounted for approximately $4.0 billion of the increase, while strong net flows, mainly on our fixed-income products more than offset equity market declines and a reduction in assets due to the closing of the money market funds. Assets under management were flat versus 15 December 31, 2001 as net flows into funds and accounts of $2.3 billion and appreciation on our fixed income assets were offset by equity market depreciation or $3.0 billion. Investment advisory fee income, net of sub-advisory fees and expense reimbursements, is shown in the following table: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES (in thousands) THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------- ------- -------- -------- Mutual Funds $14,390 $14,283 $ 28,609 $ 28,160 Exchange-Traded Products 46,444 42,973 91,312 84,674 Managed Accounts 25,222 21,339 51,290 44,917 Money Market Funds - 434 - 804 ------- ------- -------- -------- Total $86,056 $79,029 $171,211 $158,555 ======= ======= ======== ======== - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Advisory fees for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, increased 8% over the same period in 2001. Symphony accounted for 5% of the increase, while exchange-traded funds and other fixed-income products drove the remainder. These increases were partially offset by a decline in fees as a result of the closing of the money market funds in the third quarter of 2001. Underwriting and distribution revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is shown in the following table: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION REVENUE (in thousands) THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------- ------- -------- -------- Mutual Funds $ 521 $ 819 $ 1,334 $ 1,862 Defined Portfolios 51 3,784 2,607 5,817 Exchange-Traded Products 1,095 401 2,597 1,583 ------- ------- -------- -------- Total $ 1,667 $ 5,004 $ 6,538 $ 9,262 ======= ======= ======== ======== - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total underwriting and distribution revenue for the first half of 2002 declined $2.7 million when compared with the first half in 2001 due to a decline in distribution revenue on defined portfolios as a result of the discontinuation of this business. Additionally, mutual fund distribution revenue declined as a result of a decline in equity product sales. Partially offsetting these declines is an increase in underwriting fees on our exchange-traded fund offerings. 16 OTHER OPERATING REVENUE Other operating revenue consists of various fees earned in connection with services provided on behalf of our defined portfolio assets under surveillance and incentive fees earned on institutional assets managed by Symphony. The increase in other operating revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 is due to the inclusion of Symphony incentive fees. POSITIONING PROFITS/(LOSSES) We record positioning profits or losses from changes in the market value of the inventory of unsold investment products and other securities held by our broker/dealer subsidiary, Nuveen Investments. We recorded net positioning losses of $0.1 million in the first half of 2002, compared to gains of $0.2 million in the first half of 2001. OPERATING EXPENSES The following table summarizes operating expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OPERATING EXPENSES (in thousands) THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------- ------- -------- -------- Compensation and Benefits $21,718 $21,436 $ 44,570 $ 42,906 Advertising and Promotion 3,500 4,025 6,967 8,467 Occupancy and Equipment 4,153 3,510 8,172 6,679 Amortization of Intangibles 698 2,041 1,411 4,083 Travel and Entertainment 2,132 2,264 4,113 4,420 Other Operating Expenses 8,353 7,579 18,353 15,303 ------- ------- -------- -------- Total $40,554 $40,855 $ 83,586 $ 81,858 ======= ======= ======== ======== - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Operating expenses increased $1.7 million during the first half of 2002 compared to the first half of 2001. This increase is primarily due to the inclusion of Symphony operating expenses. Excluding Symphony, operating expenses declined $4.4 million (5%), driven mainly by a $4.0 million reduction in goodwill amortization expense as a result of new accounting rules effective January 1, 2002. Compensation and related benefits for the first half of 2002 increased $1.7 million compared to the first half in the prior year, primarily as a result of the inclusion of Symphony. Excluding the impact of Symphony, compensation expense was down slightly to the prior year as salary increases were more than offset by headcount reductions. The reduction in headcount is related to the discontinuation of the defined portfolio business. 17 Advertising and promotional expenditures decreased $1.5 million for the first half of 2002 compared to the first half of 2001. This decrease is due to a reduction in spending behind our defined portfolio business. All other operating expenses, including occupancy and equipment costs, travel and entertainment and other, increased $4.2 million during the first half of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001. The inclusion of Symphony expenses drove $2.6 million of the increase with the remainder mainly driven by increased severance due to the exit of our defined portfolio business and fund organization costs related to our exchange-traded fund offerings. NON-OPERATING INCOME/(EXPENSE) Non-operating income/(expense) is comprised primarily of net interest income/(expense) and other miscellaneous non-operating revenue/(expense). Net interest income was down $3.1 million in the first half of 2002 compared to the first half of 2001. This decline was partially caused by a decrease in interest income resulting from the use of cash on hand for the Symphony acquisition, and partially because of an increase in interest expense as a result of the debt incurred in connection with the Symphony acquisition. This decline in net interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on deferred compensation, and partially because of non-recurring miscellaneous income recorded as a result of our exit from the defined portfolio business. CAPITAL RESOURCES, LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION - ----------------------- Our principal businesses are not capital intensive and, historically, we have met our liquidity requirements through cash flow generated by operations. In addition, our broker/dealer subsidiary occasionally utilizes available, uncommitted lines of credit, which approximate $200 million, to satisfy periodic, short-term liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2002, no borrowings were outstanding on these uncommitted lines of credit. In August 2000, we entered into a $250 million committed line of credit with a group of banks to ensure an ongoing liquidity source for general corporate purposes including acquisitions. The new committed line is divided into two equal facilities, one of which has a three-year term, the other is renewable in 364 days. As of June 30, 2002, the outstanding balance under this committed credit line was $183 million. The proceeds from these facilities were used in part to fund the Symphony acquisition. On August 8, 2002, Nuveen renewed its 364-day credit facility. The terms of the facility fee and interest rate payable remain unchanged from the previous agreement. Subsequent to quarter-end, Nuveen entered into and drew down fully on a $250 million revolving loan agreement with its majority shareholder, The St. Paul Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul"). This loan facility expires on July 15, 2003 and carries a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of up to 0.25%. A portion of the proceeds from this $250 million loan was used to repay the existing outstanding debt of $183 million, with the remainder used to fund the NWQ acquisition. Options to purchase 395,142 shares of Rittenhouse non-voting Class B common stock were exercised on March 28, 2002 under the Rittenhouse Financial Services, Inc. 1997 Equity Incentive Award Plan. Rittenhouse accounted for these options in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." As a result of this exercise, the Company has recorded $40.5 million of minority interest on its consolidated balance sheet. The minority interest will remain in place as long as the stock is outstanding. In the event that the stock is repurchased, any purchase price in excess of the exercise price will be added to goodwill associated with the Company's acquisition of Rittenhouse. 18 At June 30, 2002, we held in treasury 26,451,796 shares of Class A common stock acquired in open market transactions. As part of an ongoing repurchase program, we are authorized to purchase approximately 1.0 million additional shares. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company repurchased 1,692,100 Class A common stock shares in open market transactions. During the first half of 2002, we paid out dividends on common shares totaling $22.7 million and on preferred shares totaling $0.1 million. Our broker/dealer subsidiary is subject to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to liquidity and capital standards. (See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) Management believes that cash provided from operations and borrowings available under its uncommitted and committed credit facilities will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future. INFLATION Our assets are, to a large extent, liquid in nature and therefore not significantly affected by inflation. However, inflation may result in increases in our expenses, such as employee compensation, advertising and promotional costs, and office occupancy costs. To the extent inflation, or the expectation thereof, results in rising interest rates or has other adverse effects upon the securities markets and on the value of financial instruments, it may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. A substantial decline in the value of fixed-income or equity investments could adversely affect the net asset value of funds we manage, which in turn would result in a decline in investment advisory fee revenue. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION From time to time, information we provide or information included in our filings with the SEC (including this report on Form 10-Q) may contain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements reflecting management's expectations and opinions. Our actual future results may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. These include, but are not limited to, the effects of the substantial competition that we, like all market participants, face in the investment management business, including competition for continued access to the brokerage firms' retail distribution systems, our reliance on revenues from investment management contracts which are renewed annually according to their terms, reductions in assets under management because of market declines and redemptions, burdensome regulatory developments, recent accounting pronouncements, and unforeseen developments in litigation. We undertake no responsibility to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements. 19 PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK JUNE 30, 2002 In addition to the various risks previously discussed in this report, we are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In the past, we were exposed to this risk primarily in our fixed-income defined portfolio inventory and, at times, sought to minimize the risks from these interest rate fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. As a result of our decision to discontinue our defined portfolio product line, we no longer regularly purchase and hold for resale municipal securities and defined portfolio units. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to utilize futures contracts to minimize risk. Correspondingly, there were no open derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2002. We invest in short-term debt instruments, classified as "Cash and cash equivalents" on our consolidated balance sheet. The investments are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at the amounts at which they will be subsequently resold, including accrued interest. We also invest in certain Company-sponsored equity, senior-loan and fixed-income mutual funds. We do not believe that the effect of any reasonably likely near-term changes in interest rates would be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 20 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS As previously reported most recently in the Form 10-K for December 31, 2001, a lawsuit (Civil Action No. 97 C 5255) brought in June, 1996 by certain shareholders is currently pending in federal district court for the Northern District of Illinois against Nuveen Advisory. The suit was originally brought against John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated, Nuveen Advisory, six Nuveen investment companies (the "Funds") managed by Nuveen Advisory and two of the Funds' former directors seeking unspecified damages, an injunction and other relief. The suit also sought certification of a defendant class consisting of all Nuveen-managed leveraged funds. The complaint was filed on behalf of a purported class of present and former shareholders of all Nuveen leveraged investment companies, including the Funds, which allegedly engaged in certain practices that Plaintiffs allege violated provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and common law. Plaintiffs alleged, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duty and various misrepresentations and omissions in disclosures in connection with the use and maintenance of leverage through the issuance and periodic auctioning of preferred stock and the payment of management and brokerage fees to Nuveen Advisory and John Nuveen & Co. A similar complaint was filed by the Plaintiffs at the same time against another major leveraged-fund sponsor and adviser. The Plaintiffs filed a motion to certify a plaintiff class (which would include current and former shareholders of all Nuveen leveraged closed-end funds). On March 30, 1999, the court entered a memorandum opinion and order (1) granting the Defendants' motion to dismiss all of Plaintiffs' counts against the defendants other than Nuveen Advisory, (2) granting Nuveen Advisory's motion to dismiss all of Plaintiffs' counts against it other than breach of fiduciary duty under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (3) denying the Plaintiffs' motion to certify a plaintiff class and a defendant class. No appeal was made by Plaintiffs of this decision, and the remaining Section 36(b) count against Nuveen Advisory has proceeded through the discovery phase. As to alleged damages, Plaintiffs claimed as damages the portion of all advisory compensation received by Nuveen Advisory from the Funds during the period from June 21, 1995 to the present that is equal to the proportion of each Fund's preferred stock to its total assets. The preferred stock constitutes approximately one third of the Funds' assets so the amount claimed would equal approximately one third of management fees received by Nuveen Advisory for managing the Funds during this period, or more than $60 million. Nuveen Advisory believes that it has no liability and that Plaintiffs have suffered no damages and filed a motion for summary judgement as to both liability and damages. Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgement as to liability only. In a memorandum opinion dated September 6, 2001, the court granted Nuveen Advisory's motion for summary judgement, thereby terminating the litigation before the court. Plaintiffs appealed this decision on October 8, 2001. In an opinion dated July 8, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirmed the opinion of the district court dismissing Plaintiffs' lawsuit. Any petition by Plaintiff, for a writ of certiori to the United States Supreme Court seeking to appeal the 7th Circuit opinion would need to be filed within 90 days of the issuance of such opinion. 21 ITEM 2.
