“This month, we officially mark Franklin Templeton’s 75th anniversary as a company,” said Jenny Johnson, President and CEO of Franklin Resources, Inc. “Over that time span, we have focused on building a diversified business – across asset classes, client types, regions and investment vehicles – and fiscal year 2022 was no exception.
“Since January, macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty have resulted in significant volatility and correlated declines in both global equity and fixed income markets. Our assets under management and flows were impacted by these unprecedented conditions and industry-wide pressures. However, as always, we have been actively engaging with our clients by providing insights and thought leadership to help them navigate the latest conditions, including drawing upon the expanded resources of our various specialist investment managers and the Franklin Templeton Institute. We benefited from having a diversified mix of assets and generated net inflows in the alternative and multi-asset categories. We also saw an improvement in our non-US regions, with EMEA experiencing positive net flows for the year.
“Our continued expansion of alternative investment capabilities, an increasing area of client demand, led us to the acquisitions of Lexington Partners and Alcentra, which closed today. Pro forma for Alcentra, alternative assets total $260 billion as of September 30, 2022, making Franklin Templeton one of the largest managers of alternative assets with a meaningful presence in the key alternative categories.
“Additionally, we see the importance of technology in providing greater customization solutions to investors. Toward this end, earlier this fiscal year we acquired Canvas, a leading custom indexing solutions platform through O’Shaughnessy Asset Management. Canvas has experienced positive net flows each quarter since the platform launched in September 2019 and AUM has grown by over 50% since we announced the acquisition. We also continued to be actively engaged in making investments in technology related distribution opportunities and developing our tokenization and digital asset products.
“While continuing to invest in long-term growth initiatives, we also strengthened the foundation of our business through disciplined expense management. Our strong balance sheet continues to provide us with financial flexibility to grow our business, and we ended the fiscal year with $6.8 billion of cash and investments after funding two acquisitions and four minority investments and returning $773 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
“None of our efforts this past fiscal year would have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our employees. I would like to thank them for their tireless efforts to serve our clients.”

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As supplemental information, we are providing performance measures for “adjusted operating income,” “adjusted operating margin,” “adjusted net income” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” each of which is based on methodologies other than generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP measures”). Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful indicators of our financial performance and may be helpful to investors in evaluating our relative performance against industry peers.
“Adjusted operating income,” “adjusted operating margin,” “adjusted net income” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share” are defined below, followed by reconciliations of operating income, operating margin, net income attributable to Franklin Resources, Inc. and diluted earnings per share on a U.S. GAAP basis to these non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, any financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additional reconciling items may be added in the future to these non-GAAP measures if deemed appropriate.
Adjusted Operating Income
We define adjusted operating income as operating income adjusted to exclude the following:
- Elimination of operating revenues upon consolidation of investment products.
-
Acquisition-related items:
- Acquisition-related retention compensation.
- Other acquisition-related expenses including professional fees, technology costs and fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration assets and liabilities.
- Amortization of intangible assets.
- Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, if any.
- Special termination benefits related to workforce optimization initiatives related to past acquisitions and certain initiatives undertaken by the Company.
- Impact on compensation and benefits expense from gains and losses on investments related to deferred compensation plans, which is offset in investment and other income (losses), net.
- Impact on compensation and benefits expense related to minority interests in certain subsidiaries, which is offset in net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Adjusted Operating Margin
We calculate adjusted operating margin as adjusted operating income divided by adjusted operating revenues. We define adjusted operating revenues as operating revenues adjusted to exclude the following:
- Elimination of operating revenues upon consolidation of investment products.
- Acquisition-related performance-based investment management fees which are passed through as compensation and benefits expense.
- Sales and distribution fees and a portion of investment management fees allocated to cover sales, distribution and marketing expenses paid to the financial advisers and other intermediaries who sell our funds on our behalf.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
We define adjusted net income as net income attributable to Franklin Resources, Inc. adjusted to exclude the following:
- Activities of CIPs.
-
Acquisition-related items:
- Acquisition-related retention compensation.
- Other acquisition-related expenses including professional fees, technology costs and fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration assets and liabilities.
- Amortization of intangible assets.
- Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, if any.
- Write off of noncontrolling interests related to the wind down of an acquired business.
- Interest expense for amortization of Legg Mason debt premium from acquisition-date fair value adjustment.
- Special termination benefits related to workforce optimization initiatives related to past acquisitions and certain initiatives undertaken by the Company.
- Net gains or losses on investments related to deferred compensation plans which are not offset by compensation and benefits expense.
- Net compensation and benefits expense related to minority interests in certain subsidiaries not offset by net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.
- Unrealized investment gains and losses.
- Net income tax expense of the above adjustments based on the respective blended rates applicable to the adjustments.
We define adjusted diluted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude the per share impacts of the adjustments applied to net income in calculating adjusted net income.
In calculating our non-GAAP measures, we adjust for the impact of CIPs because it is not considered reflective of our underlying results of operations. Acquisition-related items and special termination benefits are excluded to facilitate comparability to other asset management firms. We adjust for compensation and benefits expense related to funded deferred compensation plans because it is partially offset in other income (expense), net. We adjust for compensation and benefits expense and net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests to reflect the economics of certain profits interest arrangements. Sales and distribution fees and a portion of investment management fees generally cover sales, distribution and marketing expenses and, therefore, are excluded from adjusted operating revenues. In addition, when calculating adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share we exclude unrealized investment gains and losses included in investment and other income (losses) because the related investments are generally expected to be held long term.
The calculations of adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Notes
- Net income represents net income attributable to Franklin Resources, Inc.
- “Adjusted net income,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” “adjusted operating income” and “adjusted operating margin” are based on methodologies other than generally accepted accounting principles. See “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for definitions and reconciliations of these measures.
- Average AUM represents monthly average AUM.
- Cash and cash equivalents and investments includes approximately $300 million at September 30, 2022 attributable to employee-owned and other third-party investments made through partnerships which are offset in nonredeemable noncontrolling interests.
- Taxes on income for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 includes a tax benefit of $155.1 million due to the release of certain tax reserves primarily related to the closure of Internal Revenue Service audits and increases in our ability to utilize certain tax attributes resulting from the integration of our business.
- Net market change, distributions and other includes appreciation (depreciation), distributions to investors that represent return on investments and return of capital, and foreign exchange revaluation.

Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements herein may include forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events, financial performance and market conditions. Such statements are provided under the “safe harbor” protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and generally can be identified by words or phrases written in the future tense and/or preceded by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “depends,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or other similar words or variations thereof, or the negative thereof, but these terms are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from any future results or outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including pandemic-related risks, market and volatility risks, investment performance and reputational risks, global operational risks, competition and distribution risks, third-party risks, technology and security risks, human capital risks, cash management risks, and legal and regulatory risks. While forward-looking statements are our best prediction at the time that they are made, you should not rely on them and are cautioned against doing so. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other possible future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.
These and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors are described in more detail in our recent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, in Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. If a circumstance occurs after the date of this press release that causes any of our forward-looking statements to be inaccurate, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, we undertake no obligation to announce publicly the change to our expectations, or to make any revision to our forward-looking statements, to reflect any change in assumptions, beliefs or expectations, or any change in events, conditions or circumstances upon which any forward-looking statement is based, unless required by law.
