Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer, stated:

“The global market volatility and headwinds in 2022 created one of the most challenging investment backdrops in history. Amidst these extreme conditions, I am proud of the tremendous amount of work completed during the year as we reposition Janus Henderson. During the year, we created a strategic roadmap, added extraordinary talent and leadership, including on our Board of Directors, and started implementing cost efficiencies to provide the ‘Fuel for Growth’ to reinvest in the business for growth—all while keeping our clients, and their clients, at the heart of everything we do.

”The current environment remains uncertain. Our focus will be to control what we can control and position Janus Henderson for growth. We have a strong balance sheet, good cash generation, disciplined investment teams and processes, and tight cost management, which are essential to delivering superior outcomes for our clients, employees, shareholders, and other stakeholders.”

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS (unaudited) (in US$ millions, except per share data or as noted)

The Company presents its financial results in US$ and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, JHG management evaluates the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations using additional non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate the business, and adjusted values are consistent with internal management reporting. See “Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information” below for additional information.

DIVIDEND AND SHARE BUYBACK

On February 1, 2023, the Board declared a fourth quarter dividend in respect of the three months ended December 31, 2022, of US$0.39 per share. Shareholders on the register on the record date of February 13, 2023, will be paid the dividend on February 28, 2023.

The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) in the fourth quarter as part of the US$200 million on-market buyback program approved by the Board in May 2022.

AUM AND FLOWS (in US$ billions)

FX reflects movement in AUM resulting from changes in foreign currency rates as non-US$ denominated AUM is translated into US$. Redemptions include impact of client switches.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

Outperformance is measured based on composite performance gross of fees versus primary benchmark, except where a strategy has no benchmark index or corresponding composite in which case the most relevant metric is used: (1) composite gross of fees versus zero for absolute return strategies, (2) fund net of fees versus primary index, or (3) fund net of fees versus Morningstar peer group average or median. Non-discretionary and separately managed account assets are included with a corresponding composite where applicable.

Cash management vehicles, ETF-enhanced beta strategies, Managed CDOs, Private Equity funds, and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Performance across all time periods excludes Intech, the sale of which was completed March 31, 2022. Excluded assets represent 5% of AUM as of December 31, 2022. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson.

Includes Janus Investment Fund, Janus Aspen Series and Clayton Street Trust (U.S. Trusts), Janus Henderson Capital Funds (Dublin based), Dublin and UK OEIC and Investment Trusts, Luxembourg SICAVs, and Australian Managed Investment Schemes. Performance across all time periods excludes Intech, the sale of which was completed March 31, 2022. The top two Morningstar quartiles represent funds in the top half of their category based on total return. For the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods ending December 31, 2022, 52%, 54%, 59%, and 67% of the 187, 179, 172, and 154 total mutual funds, respectively, were in the top 2 Morningstar quartiles.

Analysis based on “primary” share class (Class I Shares, Institutional Shares, or share class with longest history for U.S. Trusts; Class A Shares or share class with longest history for Dublin based; primary share class as defined by Morningstar for other funds). Performance may vary by share class. Rankings may be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund or share class and are calculated by Morningstar using a methodology that differs from that used by Janus Henderson. Methodology differences may have a material effect on the return and therefore the ranking. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.

ETFs and funds not ranked by Morningstar are excluded from the analysis. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson. © 2022 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
