Total assets under management increased 6% sequentially to $183.7 billion at September 30, 2024 due to market performance and positive net flows in retail separate accounts, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and global funds, partially offset by net outflows in U.S. retail funds and institutional accounts. In addition, the company provided services to $2.4 billion of other fee-earning assets that are not included in assets under management.
Total sales increased 7% sequentially to $6.6 billion with higher sales in all product categories. Institutional sales of $1.2 billion increased 3% from the prior quarter due to the issuance of a new $0.3 billion collateralized loan obligation (CLO). Retail separate account sales of $2.3 billion increased 4% primarily driven by the intermediary sold channel. Open-end fund sales increased 12% to $3.1 billion primarily due to higher sales of fixed income and alternative strategies. In addition, sales were higher sequentially in ETFs and global funds.
Net flows of ($1.7) billion improved from ($2.6) billion in the second quarter and included continued positive net flows in retail separate accounts, ETFs, and global funds. Institutional net flows of ($1.1) billion improved from ($1.7) billion, partially reflecting the issuance of the new CLO. Retail separate account net flows of $0.4 billion compared with $0.5 billion in the prior quarter, with positive net flows in both the intermediary sold channel and in our private client (wealth management) business. Open-end fund net flows of ($1.0) billion improved from ($1.3) billion in the prior quarter and included positive net flows in fixed income, small/mid-cap, and global equity strategies.
GAAP Results
Operating income of $55.3 million increased 25% from $44.2 million in the prior quarter due to a 5% decrease in operating expenses and a 1% increase in revenues, reflecting higher average assets under management. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to lower other operating expenses, which included lower operating expenses of consolidated investment products, and amortization expenses, as well as the $0.7 million annual equity grant to the Board of Directors in the prior quarter.
Net income attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. of $5.71 per diluted share included ($0.64) of fair value adjustments to minority interests and ($0.10) of acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by $0.41 of fair value adjustments to contingent consideration. Net income per diluted share of $2.43 in the prior quarter included ($1.71) of realized and unrealized losses on investments, ($1.04) of fair value adjustments to minority interests, ($0.13) of CLO expense, ($0.11) of acquisition and integration costs, and ($0.07) of restructuring expense, partially offset by $0.34 of fair value adjustments to contingent consideration.
The effective tax rate of 24% decreased from 31% in the prior quarter, primarily reflecting changes in income tax valuation allowances for net unrealized and realized gains on the company’s investments compared with losses in the prior quarter.
Non-GAAP Results
Revenues, as adjusted, of $205.1 million increased 1% from $203.0 million in the prior quarter primarily due to higher average assets under management.
Employment expenses, as adjusted, of $102.5 million decreased from $103.5 million in the prior quarter due to lower fixed employment expenses. Other operating expenses, as adjusted, of $29.8 million decreased from $31.3 million due to lower investment system and data expenses and the prior quarter impact of the annual equity grant to the Board of Directors.
Operating income, as adjusted, of $70.5 million and the related margin of 34.4% increased from $66.0 million and 32.5%, respectively, in the prior quarter due to higher investment management fees and lower operating expenses.
Net income attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., as adjusted, per diluted share was $6.92, an increase of 6% from $6.53 in the prior quarter. The increase primarily reflected higher investment management fees and lower operating expenses.
The effective tax rate, as adjusted, of 27% compared with 26% in the prior quarter.

Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations
(in thousands except per share data)
The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release differ from financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a result of the reclassification of certain income statement items, as well as the exclusion of certain expenses and other items that are not reflective of the earnings generated from providing investment management and related services. Management uses these measures to evaluate the company’s financial performance and operational decision-making. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented together with directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors and other interested parties to provide additional insight, promote transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management. Please see the Notes to Reconciliations on page 14 for additional information on how these measures reflect the company’s operating results. Non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures. Also, the non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release may not be comparable to the similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The following are reconciliations and related notes of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure:

Notes to Reconciliations: |
||
Reclassifications: |
||
| 1. | Consolidated investment products - Revenues and expenses generated by operating activities of mutual funds and CLOs that are consolidated in the financial statements. Management believes that excluding these operating activities to reflect net revenues and expenses of the company prior to the consolidation of these products is consistent with the approach of reflecting its operating results from managing third-party client assets. |
|
Other Adjustments: |
||
Revenue Related |
||
| 2. | Investment management/Distribution and service fees - Each of these revenue line items is reduced to exclude fees passed through to third-party client intermediaries who own the retail client relationship and are responsible for distributing company sponsored investment products and servicing the client. The amount of fees fluctuates each period, based on a predetermined percentage of the value of assets under management, and varies based on the type of investment product. The specific adjustments are as follows: |
|
Investment management fees - Based on specific agreements, the portion of investment management fees passed through to third-party intermediaries for services to investors in sponsored investment products. |
||
Distribution and service fees - Based on distinct arrangements, fees collected by the company then passed through to third-party client intermediaries for services to investors in sponsored investment products. The adjustment represents all of the company's distribution and service fees that are recorded as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. |
||
Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company's operating results with other asset management firms that do not utilize third-party client intermediaries. |
||
Expense Related |
||
3. |
Distribution and other asset-based expenses - Primarily payments to third-party client intermediaries for providing services to investors in sponsored investment products. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that do not utilize third-party client intermediaries. |
|
| 4. | Amortization of intangible assets - Non-cash amortization expense or impairment expense, if any, attributable to acquisition-related intangible assets, including any portion that is allocated to noncontrolling interests. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions. |
|
| 5. | Restructuring expense - Certain non-recurring expenses associated with restructuring the business, including lease abandonment-related expenses and severance costs associated with staff reductions that are not reflective of ongoing earnings generation of the business. |
|
| 6. | Deferred compensation and related investments - Compensation expense, gains and losses (realized and unrealized), and interest and dividend income related to market performance of deferred compensation and related balance sheet investments. Market performance of deferred compensation plans and related investments can vary significantly from period to period. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the Company's operating results with prior periods. |
|
| 7. | Acquisition and integration expenses - Expenses that are directly related to acquisition and integration activities. Acquisition expenses include certain transaction related employment expenses, transaction closing costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration, certain professional fees, and financing fees. Integration expenses include costs incurred that are directly attributable to combining businesses, including compensation, restructuring and severance charges, professional fees, consulting fees, and other expenses. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions. |

| 8. | Other - Certain expenses that are not reflective of the ongoing earnings generation of the business. Employment expenses and noncontrolling interests are adjusted for fair value measurements of affiliate minority interests. Other operating expenses are adjusted for amortization of lease termination fees and transition related expense (benefit). Interest expense is adjusted to remove gains on early extinguishment of debt and the write-off of previously capitalized costs associated with the modification of debt. Income tax expense (benefit) items are adjusted for uncertain tax positions, changes in tax law, valuation allowances, and other unusual or infrequent items not related to current operating results to reflect a normalized effective rate. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company’s operating results with prior periods. |

| 9. | Seed capital and CLO investments (gains) losses - Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) of seed capital and CLO investments. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) generated by investments in seed capital and CLO investments can vary significantly from period to period and do not reflect the company’s operating results from providing investment management and related services. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with prior periods and with other asset management firms that do not have meaningful seed capital and CLO investments. |
