(617) 747-3300 AMG REPORTS FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 1998 COMPANY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER EBITDA OF $24.0 MILLION AND EPS OF $0.48 BOSTON, MA, JANUARY 27, 1999 -- Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE:AMG), an asset management holding company, today reported its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 1998. Reported net income for the fourth quarter was $9.3 million, or $0.48 per share on a diluted basis, on revenues of $80.3 million. Reported earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the fourth quarter was $24.0 million. These results compare to reported net income before extraordinary item for the fourth quarter 1997 of $0.8 million, or $0.07 per share on a diluted basis, on revenues of $42.0 million, and EBITDA before extraordinary item of $12.1 million. The revenues, EBITDA and net income for the fourth quarter 1998 include substantial performance fees which, due to their dependence on investment results, may not recur to the same magnitude in future years. For the year ended December 31, 1998, reported net income was $25.6 million, or $1.33 per share on a diluted basis, on revenues of $238.5 million, while on a reported basis, EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $76.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 1997, reported net income before the extraordinary item was $1.6 million, or $0.20 per share on a diluted basis, on revenues of $95.3 million. Reported EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $20.0 million. On a pro forma basis (giving effect to the investments in Essex Investment Management Company, LLC, completed on March 20, 1998, Davis Hamilton Jackson & Associates, L.P., completed on December 31, 1998, and Rorer Asset Management, LLC, completed on January 6, 1999, as if each occurred as of January 1, 1998), net income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $28.3 million, or $1.45 per share. EBITDA on the same pro forma basis for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $89.3 million. (MORE) Affiliated Managers Group Reports 4Q98 and Full Year 1998 Results January 27, 1999 Page 2 of 5 Pro forma for the investment in Rorer, assets under management at December 31, 1998 were $62.1 billion. Assets under management by Tweedy, Browne Company LLC, AMG's largest Affiliate based on EBITDA Contribution (as defined in Note 6 to the attached Summary Financial Data), rose to $6.6 billion, a 24.3 percent increase for the year. Aggregate net client cash flows were positive for the year at $160 million, although those for the fourth quarter were negative $1.5 billion due to a decline in assets indirectly managed using "overlay" strategies. Overlay assets (which generally carry lower fees than directly managed assets) declined by $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter and for the year. Excluding the effect of these overlay assets, aggregate directly managed assets of AMG's Affiliates increased by $170 million in the fourth quarter and $1.7 billion for the year. "We are pleased with AMG's strategic and financial achievements in 1998, our first year as a public company," said William J. Nutt, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Notwithstanding volatile markets in the latter half of the year, our Affiliates produced impressive growth resulting from strong investment performance and positive aggregate net client cash flows over the year. In addition, we continued to successfully execute our strategy of generating growth through investments in new Affiliates. With the additions of Rorer, Davis Hamilton, and Essex, AMG has grown to 13 Affiliates. These new Affiliates further expand AMG's diversity by asset class, investment style, client type, and geographic region. Finally, we are also pleased to have assisted one of our Affiliates, The Burridge Group LLC, in acquiring an excellent firm, Sound Capital Partners, LLC, in July of 1998." AMG was founded in 1993 to address the succession and transition issues facing the founders and owners of many mid-sized investment firms. AMG's strategy is to generate growth through new investments, as well as through the internal growth of existing Affiliates. AMG's innovative transaction structure allows individual members of each Affiliate's management to retain or receive significant direct ownership in their firm while maintaining operating autonomy. In addition, AMG provides centralized assistance to its Affiliates, when requested, in strategic matters, marketing, product development, and operations support.
