Janus Henderson Group plc reports first quarter 2018 diluted EPS of US$0.82, or US$0.71 on an adjusted basisJanus Henderson Group plc (NYSE:JHG, ASX:JHG, "JHG" or "the Group") published its first quarter results for the three month period ended 31 March 2018. First quarter 2018 net income attributable to JHG was US$165.2 million compared to US$471.7 million in the fourth quarter 2017 and US$42.6 million in the first quarter 2017. Adjusted net income attributable to JHG, adjusted for one-time non-cash and acquisition and transaction related costs, of US$143.6 million decreased 3% compared to US$147.9 million in the fourth quarter 2017 and improved 40% compared to US$102.3 million on a pro forma adjusted basis in the first quarter 2017. First quarter 2018 diluted earnings per share was US$0.82 compared to US$2.32 in the fourth quarter 2017 and US$0.38 in the first quarter 2017. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of US$0.71 decreased 3% compared to US$0.73 in the fourth quarter 2017 and improved 42% versus US$0.50 on a pro forma adjusted basis in the first quarter 2017. As at 31 March 2018, the Group had achieved US$96 million of annualised run rate pre-tax net cost synergies, inclusive of the impact from the expanded strategic relationship with BNP Paribas, which closed at the end of the first quarter. The Group continues to expect it will be able to realise recurring annual run rate pre-tax net cost synergies of at least US$125 million within three years post merger close. Andrew Formica and Dick Weil, co-Chief Executive Officers of Janus Henderson Group plc, said: "Against the backdrop of elevated market volatility, we are pleased to have maintained robust investment performance through the quarter. As an active asset manager, dynamics like those seen in the first quarter allow us to demonstrate our value to clients in helping them achieve their long-term financial goals. "As we approach our first anniversary as Janus Henderson, we are pleased with the pace of integration and that we have already exceeded our Year One target of US$90 million in run rate net cost synergies. We remain disciplined in our financial investment and focus on sustainable growth, and are delighted to announce an increase in the quarterly dividend, underlining the Board's confidence in the future cash flow generating capabilities of our business". The Group presents its financial results in US$ and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP" or "GAAP"). However, in the opinion of Management, the profitability of the Group and its ongoing operations is best evaluated using additional non-GAAP financial measures on a pro forma adjusted basis. See adjusted statements of income reconciliation for additional information.
As a result of revenue recognition accounting guidance that came into effect in 2018, the Group's presentation of distribution expenses under US GAAP is now reported on a gross basis. As a consequence, the Group reclassified prior year amounts to conform to the 2018 presentation. The change in presentation does not affect the Group's reporting on an adjusted basis as distribution expenses are netted against revenue. First quarter 2018 adjusted revenue of US$470.4 million decreased from the fourth quarter 2017 result of US$505.3 million due to lower performance fees. Management fees grew 1% with the increase in assets under management through the period partially offset by two fewer business days in the quarter. First quarter 2018 adjusted operating income of US$188.8 million decreased from US$220.4 million in the fourth quarter 2017, driven by lower performance fees. DIVIDEND On 8 May 2018, the Board of Directors of Janus Henderson Group (the "Board") declared a first quarter dividend in respect of the three months ended 31 March 2018 of US$0.36 per share, a 13% increase from the previous level. Shareholders on the register on the record date of 21 May 2018 will be paid the dividend on 1 June 2018. Janus Henderson does not offer a dividend reinvestment plan.
