Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"I am pleased with our results this quarter, particularly amid geopolitical conflicts and economic uncertainties. Our performance remains solid, and we are seeing areas of strong market share gains, including in Fixed Income and U.S. Intermediary. Our financial results emphasize our cost discipline, as we have surpassed our original 'Fuel for Growth' savings and timing through delivering US$50 million in efficiencies a full year earlier than expected. The new buyback authorization reflects our strong cash flow generation and liquidity position and demonstrates our commitment to balancing organic and inorganic investment in the business and returning capital to shareholders. We will continue to look actively to buy, build, or partner to diversify where clients give us the right. Today’s results show we are making meaningful progress, and we continue to deliver positive outcomes for our shareholders and clients alike.”

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 October 31, 2023, the Board declared a third quarter dividend in respect of the three months ended September 30, 2023, of US$0.39 per share. Shareholders on the register on the record date of November 13, 2023, will be paid the dividend on November 30, 2023.

Additionally, on October 31, 2023, the Board authorized a new on-market share repurchase program under which JHG may repurchase, from time to time, up to $150 million of the Company’s common shares. This share repurchase program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time, but any repurchases under the program must be made prior to the date of JHG’s 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Some JHG executives and employees obtain rights to receive shares of JHG common stock as part of their remuneration arrangements and employee entitlements. In order to satisfy these entitlements in a manner that is not dilutive to shareholders, the Board separately approved the repurchase of up to four million additional shares of common stock for the purpose of making grants to these executives and employees.

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

% of AUM outperforming benchmark (as of September 30, 2023)

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 4% of AUM. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson.

% of mutual fund AUM in top 2 Morningstar quartiles (as of September 30, 2023)

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 September 30, 2023, 48%, 48%, 55%, and 61% of the 184, 175, 166, and 151 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. © 2023 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
