U.S. GAAP

This section discusses the financial results of the company as presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Revenue

Revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $86.4 million, an increase of $6.7 million from $79.7 million for the first quarter of 2016. Higher average assets under management in the quarter resulted in the following increases in investment advisory and administration fees for the second quarter of 2016:

Institutional account revenue increased $2.1 million to $23.5 million;
Open-end fund revenue increased $3.0 million to $36.5 million; and
Closed-end fund revenue increased $0.9 million to $19.2 million.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $166.1 million, a decrease of $1.3 million from $167.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Expenses

Expenses for the second quarter of 2016 were $52.2 million, an increase of $0.9 million from $51.4 million for the first quarter of 2016. The change was primarily due to:

Higher employee compensation and benefits expenses of $0.2 million, resulting primarily from higher incentive compensation, partially offset by lower stock based compensation. The first quarter of 2016 included the accelerated vesting of certain restricted stock units.
Increased distribution and service fees of $1.1 million, primarily due to higher average assets under management in U.S. open-end funds.
Lower general and administrative expenses of $0.2 million, primarily due to lower costs associated with hosted wealth management marketing events.

Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $103.6 million, an increase of $2.0 million from $101.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Operating Margin

Operating margin increased to 39.5% for the second quarter of 2016 from 35.5% for the first quarter of 2016. The first quarter of 2016 included the accelerated vesting of certain restricted stock units. Operating margin decreased to 37.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 39.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Non-operating Income

Non-operating income for the second quarter of 2016 was $4.5 million, compared with non-operating income of $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to unrealized gains on the company's seed investments. Non-operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $5.1 million, compared with non-operating loss of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The term "as adjusted" is used to identify non-GAAP information in the discussion below and excludes non-operating results from seed investments, the effect of the accelerated vesting of certain restricted stock units in the first quarter of 2016 and the tax effect on these items. Please refer to the "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" of this release for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 were $52.2 million, an increase of $2.8 million compared with expenses, as adjusted, of $49.4 million for the first quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Management believes that use of these non-GAAP financial measures may enhance the evaluation of the company's results, as they provide greater transparency into the company's operating results and allow for a more appropriate comparison with industry peers. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used to prepare the company's internal management reports and by management in evaluating the company's business.

While management believes that this non-GAAP financial information is useful in evaluating the company's results and operating performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
