Operating Results - Comparison to the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2018
Net income was $75.7 million, or $0.78 per diluted share,
compared to net income of $50.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share,
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. In addition to the net impact of the factors listed below, the increased earnings were
driven by higher average AUM, one additional day in the quarter, higher non-pass through performance fees and lower compensation
expenses due to seasonal factors in the prior quarter.
This quarter's results included:
- Severance charges of $1.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted
share.
- EnTrustPermal acquisition and transition-related costs of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.
- Year-to-date annualization tax benefit of $1.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.
The prior quarter's results included:
- Non-cash impairment charges totaling $34.0 million, or $0.24
per diluted share.
- Contingent consideration credit adjustments of $16.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.
- EnTrustPermal acquisition and transition-related costs of $2.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.
Operating revenues of $768.3 million were down 3% compared with $793.8 million in the prior quarter reflecting:
- A reduction in pass through performance fees at Clarion of $45.5 million, which, per the
terms of the acquisition, were passed through as compensation.
- Excluding the pass through performance fees, revenues increased 3% due to higher average long-term AUM, one additional day
in the quarter and an increase of 30% in non-pass through performance fees.
Operating expenses of $623.9 million were down 9% compared with $686.6 million in the prior quarter reflecting:
- Lower compensation of $45.4 million driven by the decrease in Clarion pass through
performance fees.
- Acquisition and transition-related charges of $1.4 million, as compared to $2.6 million in the prior quarter.
- The prior quarter included non-cash impairment charges of $34.0 million, as well as credits
of $16.6 million for contingent consideration fair value adjustments.
- A $4.8 million gain in the market value of deferred compensation and seed investments, which
is recorded as an increase in compensation and benefits with an offset in non-operating income, in line with the prior
quarter.
Non-operating expense was $18.1 million, as compared to $15.4
million in the prior quarter reflecting:
- Gains on corporate investments, not offset in compensation, were $2.4 million compared with
gains of $5.7 million in the prior quarter. The prior quarter included a $2.3 million gain related to an accelerated contingent payment received on a prior sale of a non-strategic
manager.
- Gains on funded deferred compensation and seed investments, as described above.
- A $2.1 million gain associated with the consolidation of sponsored investment vehicles
compared to $1.2 million in gains in the prior quarter. The consolidation of sponsored investment
vehicles has no impact on net income as the effects of consolidation are fully attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Operating margin was 18.8% compared to 13.5% in the prior quarter. Operating margin, as adjusted4, was
24.9%, as compared to 22.5% in the prior quarter.

non-pass through performance fees and lower acquisition and transition-related costs.

share.

Supplemental Data Regarding Quarterly Performance
Strategy Performance
For purposes of investment performance comparisons, strategies are an aggregation of discretionary portfolios
(separate accounts, investment funds, and other products) into a single group that represents a particular investment
objective. In the case of separate accounts, the investment performance of the account is based upon the performance of the
strategy to which the account has been assigned. Each of our asset managers has its own specific guidelines for including
portfolios in their strategies. For those managers which manage both separate accounts and investment funds in the same strategy,
the performance comparison for all of the assets is based upon the performance of the separate account.
Approximately eighty-eight percent of total AUM is included in strategy AUM as of September 30, 2017, although not all
strategies have three-, five-, and ten-year histories. Total strategy AUM includes liquidity assets. Certain assets
are not included in reported performance comparisons. These include: accounts that are not managed in accordance with the
guidelines outlined above; accounts in strategies not marketed to potential clients; accounts that have not yet been assigned to
a strategy; and certain smaller products at some of our affiliates.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. For AUM included in institutional and retail separate accounts and
investment funds managed in the same strategy as separate accounts, performance comparisons are based on gross-of-fee
performance. For investment funds which are not managed in a separate account format, performance comparisons are based on
net-of-fee performance. Funds-of-hedge funds generally do not have specified benchmarks. For purposes of this comparison,
performance of those products is net of fees, and is compared to the relevant HFRX index. These performance comparisons do
not reflect the actual performance of any specific separate account or investment fund; individual separate account and
investment fund performance may differ. The information in this presentation is provided solely for use regarding this
presentation, and is not directed toward existing or potential clients of Legg Mason.
Long-term US Fund Assets Beating Lipper Category Average
Long-term US fund assets include open-end, closed-end, and variable annuity funds. These performance comparisons do
not reflect the actual performance of any specific fund; individual fund performance may differ. Past performance is not a
guarantee of future results. Source: Lipper Inc.

(1) Realizations represent investment manager-driven
distributions primarily related to the sale of assets. Realizations are specific to our alternative managers and do not
include client-driven distributions (e.g. client requested redemptions, liquidations or asset transfers).
Realizations of $0.2 billion, $0.4 billion, $0.4 billion, and $0.3 billion were included in net client cash flows for the
quarters ended March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016, and June 30, 2016, respectively.
|
|
|
(2) For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, Other includes a
reclass, effective April 1, 2017, of $16.0 billion of certain assets which were previously included in Assets Under
Advisement to Assets Under Management, specifically retail separately managed account programs that operate and have fee
rates comparable to programs managed on a fully discretionary basis. These Assets Under Advisement as of the
quarters ended March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016, and September 30, 2016 were $16.0 billion, $13.7 billion, and $12.8
billion, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, Other also includes a $3.7 billion reconciliation to
previously reported amounts.

may differ immaterially from the year-to-date results.

Use of Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information
As supplemental information, we are providing a performance measure for "Operating Margin, as Adjusted" and a
liquidity measure for "Adjusted EBITDA", each of which are based on methodologies other than generally accepted accounting
principles ("non-GAAP"). Our management uses these measures as benchmarks in evaluating and comparing our period-to-period
operating performance and liquidity.
Operating Margin, as Adjusted
We calculate "Operating Margin, as Adjusted," by dividing (i) Operating Income, adjusted to exclude the impact on
compensation expense of gains or losses on investments made to fund deferred compensation plans, the impact on compensation
expense of gains or losses on seed capital investments by our affiliates under revenue sharing agreements, amortization related
to intangible assets, income (loss) of consolidated investment vehicles, the impact of fair value adjustments of contingent
consideration liabilities, if any, and impairment charges by (ii) our operating revenues, adjusted to add back net investment
advisory fees eliminated upon consolidation of investment vehicles, less distribution and servicing expenses which we use as an
approximate measure of revenues that are passed through to third parties, and less performance fees that are passed through as
compensation expenses or net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, which we refer to as "Operating Revenues,
as Adjusted". The deferred compensation items are removed from Operating Income in the calculation because they are offset
by an equal amount in Non-operating income (expense), and thus have no impact on Net Income Attributable to Legg Mason,
Inc. We adjust for the impact of amortization of management contract assets and the impact of fair value adjustments of
contingent consideration liabilities, if any, which arise from acquisitions to reflect the fact that these items distort
comparison of our operating results with results of other asset management firms that have not engaged in significant
acquisitions. Impairment charges and income (loss) of consolidated investment vehicles are removed from Operating Income in
the calculation because these items are not reflective of our core asset management operations. We use Operating Revenues,
as Adjusted in the calculation to show the operating margin without distribution and servicing expenses, which we use to
approximate our distribution revenues that are passed through to third parties as a direct cost of selling our products, although
distribution and servicing expenses may include commissions paid in connection with the launching of closed-end funds for which
there is no corresponding revenue in the period. We also use Operating Revenues, as Adjusted in the calculation to show the
operating margin without performance fees, which are passed through as compensation expense or net income (loss) attributable to
non-controlling interests per the terms of certain more recent acquisitions. Operating Revenues as adjusted also include
our advisory revenues we receive from consolidated investment vehicles that are eliminated in consolidation under GAAP.
We believe that Operating Margin, as Adjusted, is a useful measure of our performance because it provides a measure of our
core business activities. It excludes items that have no impact on Net Income Attributable to Legg Mason, Inc. and
indicates what our operating margin would have been without the distribution revenues that are passed through to third parties as
a direct cost of selling our products, performance fees that are passed through as compensation expense or net income (loss)
attributable to non-controlling interests per the terms of certain more recent acquisitions, amortization related to intangible
assets, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, if any, impairment charges, and the impact of the
consolidation of certain investment vehicles described above. The consolidation of these investment vehicles does not have
an impact on Net Income Attributable to Legg Mason, Inc. This measure is provided in addition to our operating margin
calculated under GAAP, but is not a substitute for calculations of margins under GAAP and may not be comparable to non-GAAP
performance measures, including measures of adjusted margins of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus (minus) interest expense, net of
accretion and amortization of debt discounts and premiums, current income tax expense (benefit), the net change in assets and
liabilities, net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, net gains (losses) and earnings on investments, net
gains (losses) on consolidated investment vehicles, and other. The net change in assets and liabilities adjustment aligns
with the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adjusted EBITDA is not reduced by equity-based compensation expense,
including management equity plan non-cash issuance-related charges. Most management equity plan units may be put to or
called by Legg Mason for cash payment, although their terms do not require this to occur.
We believe that this measure is useful to investors and us as it provides additional information with regard to our ability to
meet working capital requirements, service our debt, and return capital to our shareholders. This measure is provided in
addition to Cash provided by operating activities and may not be comparable to non-GAAP performance measures or liquidity
measures of other companies, including their measures of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA. Further, this measure is not to be
confused with Net Income, Cash provided by operating activities, or other measures of earnings or cash flows under GAAP, and are
provided as a supplement to, and not in replacement of, GAAP measures.
We have previously disclosed Adjusted EBITDA that conformed to calculations required by our debt covenants, which adjusted for
certain items that required cash settlement that are not part of the current definition.
