NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management of Janus Henderson Group plc (“JHG,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are not required for interim reporting purposes and have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for inclusion in the accompanying financial statements through the issuance date. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation with no effect on our consolidated net income or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” to expand disclosure requirements about specific expense categories within the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for our annual period beginning January 1, 2027, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Adoption of this ASU can either be applied prospectively to consolidated financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 5 — Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments Used to Hedge Seeded Investment Products
We maintain an economic hedge program that uses derivative instruments to mitigate against market exposure of certain seeded investments by using index and commodity futures (“futures”), contracts for difference, total return swaps, credit default swaps and To-Be-Announced securities (“TBAs”). Certain foreign currency exposures associated with our seeded investment products are also hedged by using foreign currency forward contracts.
We were party to the following derivative instruments as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 (in millions):
Notional value | ||||||||
June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
Futures and contracts for difference | $ | $ | ||||||
Credit default swaps | ||||||||
Total return swaps | ||||||||
Foreign currency forward contracts | ||||||||
TBAs |
The derivative instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognized in investment gains, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The changes in fair value of the derivative instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, are summarized as follows (in millions):

Derivative liabilities | $ | $ |
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the derivative assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were insignificant.
In addition to using derivative instruments to mitigate against market exposure of certain seeded investments, we also engage in short sales of securities to mitigate against market exposure of certain seed investments. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the fair value of securities sold but not yet purchased was insignificant. The cash received from the short sale and the obligation to repurchase the shares are classified in other current assets and in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Fair value adjustments are recognized in investment gains, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Derivative Instruments Used in Consolidated Seeded Investment Products
Certain of our consolidated seeded investment products use derivative instruments to contribute to the achievement of defined investment objectives. These derivative instruments are classified within other current assets or in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses on these derivative instruments are classified within investment gains, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Our consolidated seeded investment products were party to the following derivative instruments as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the derivative assets and liabilities used in consolidated seeded investment products in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were insignificant.
Derivative Instruments — Foreign Currency Hedging Program
We maintain a foreign currency hedging program to take reasonable measures to minimize the income statement effects of foreign currency remeasurement of monetary balance sheet accounts. The program uses foreign currency forward contracts and swaps to achieve its objectives, and it is considered an economic hedge for accounting purposes.
The notional value of the foreign currency forward contracts and swaps as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, is summarized as follows (in millions):
Notional value | ||||||||

The derivative assets and liabilities are generally recognized on a gross basis and included in other current assets or in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the derivative assets and liabilities were insignificant.
Changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognized in other non-operating income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency remeasurement is also recognized in other non-operating income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the change in fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts and swaps was insignificant.

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements
Our Level 1 fair value measurements consist mostly of investments held by consolidated and unconsolidated seeded investment products and cash equivalents with quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value level of consolidated investments held by seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of most unconsolidated investments held in seeded investment products is determined by the NAV, which is considered a quoted price in an active market.
Level 2 Fair Value Measurements
Our Level 2 fair value measurements consist mostly of investments held by consolidated investment products and our long-term debt. The fair value level of consolidated investments held by seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of our long-term debt is determined using recent trading activity, which is considered a Level 2 input.
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
Investments
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, certain investments within consolidated VIEs and VREs were valued using significant unobservable inputs, resulting in Level 3 classification.
Deferred Bonuses
Deferred bonuses represent liabilities to employees over the vesting period that will be settled by investments in our products or cash. Upon vesting, employees receive the value of the investment product selected by the participant, adjusted for gains or losses attributable to the product. The significant unobservable inputs used to value the liabilities are investment designations and vesting periods.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements include goodwill, intangible assets and contingent consideration liabilities. We measure the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets on initial recognition based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Significant assumptions used to determine the estimated fair value include assets under management (“AUM”), investment management fee rates, discount rates and expenses. We measure the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities on initial recognition using the Monte Carlo method, which requires assumptions regarding projected future earnings and the discount rate. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities, such measurements are classified as Level 3.
Investments Valued at Practical Expedient
As a practical expedient to value certain investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and have attributes of an investment, we use the NAV as the fair value. As such, investments in private investment funds with a fair value of $

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was impacted by the disallowed noncontrolling interest from seeded investment products.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was similarly impacted by the disallowed noncontrolling interest from seeded investment products. However, the 2024 effective tax rate also reflected a benefit from the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income related to liquidated JHG entities.

On July 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). Under U.S. GAAP, tax law changes are recognized in the period in which they are enacted. For U.S. federal tax purposes, the enactment date for U.S. GAAP is the date the President signs the bill into law, which occurred after the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The OBBBA introduces several changes to corporate taxation, including modifications to the capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. Management does not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Seeded Investment Products
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products are classified as redeemable noncontrolling interests when there is an obligation to repurchase units at the investor’s request.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products may fluctuate from period to period and are impacted by changes in our relative ownership, changes in the amount of third-party investment in seeded products and volatility in the market value of the seeded products’ underlying securities. Third-party redemption of investments in any particular seeded product is redeemed from the respective product’s net assets and cannot be redeemed from the net assets of our other seeded products or from our other net assets.

Note 15 — Segment Information
We are a global asset manager and manage a range of investment products, operating across various product lines, distribution channels and geographic regions. However, information is reported to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), on an aggregated basis. Strategic and financial management decisions are determined centrally by our CEO and, on this basis, we operate as a
-segment investment management business.
Our investment management segment primarily derives revenues from management fees. Clients pay a management fee, which is usually calculated as a percentage of AUM. Certain investment products are also subject to performance fees, which vary based on when performance hurdles or other specified criteria are achieved. The level of assets subject to such fees can positively or negatively affect our revenue. Management and performance fees are generated from a diverse group of funds and other investment products and are the primary drivers of our revenue.
The accounting policies of the investment management segment are the same as those described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The CODM assesses performance for the investment management segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income attributable to JHG on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for information on our significant segment expenses. All of our revenue is earned from external customers.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. Segment assets are identical to the total assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Significant noncash items include depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation plan expense and investment gains and losses. Refer to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for a comprehensive listing of our noncash adjustments.

Commitments and contingencies may arise in the normal course of business.
Litigation and Other Regulatory Matters
We are periodically involved in various legal proceedings and other regulatory matters.
Sandra Schissler v. Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc., Janus Henderson Advisory Committee, and John and Jane Does 1-30
On September 9, 2022, a class action complaint, captioned Schissler v. Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. Named as defendants are Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc. (“Janus US Holdings”) and the Advisory Committee to the Janus 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”). The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of participants and beneficiaries of the Plan that invested in Janus Henderson funds on or after September 9, 2016. On January 10, 2023, in response to the defendants’ motion to dismiss filed on November 23, 2022, an amended complaint was filed against the same defendants. The amended complaint names two additional plaintiffs, Karly Sissel and Derrick Hittson. As amended, the complaint alleges that for the period since September 9, 2016, among other things, the defendants breached fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence by (i) selecting higher-cost Janus Henderson funds over less expensive investment options, (ii) retaining Janus Henderson funds despite their alleged underperformance and (iii) failing to consider actively managed funds outside of Janus Henderson to add as investment options. The amended complaint also alleges that Janus US Holdings failed to monitor the Advisory Committee with respect to the foregoing. The amended complaint seeks various declaratory, equitable and monetary relief in unspecified amounts. On February 9, 2023, the defendants filed an amended motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 13, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an opposition to the amended motion to dismiss. The defendants filed their reply to the plaintiffs’ opposition on March 28, 2023. On September 7, 2023, a magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation, which recommended that the motion to dismiss be granted in part and denied in part. On September 21, 2023, the parties filed objections to the report and recommendation. Briefing on the parties’ objections concluded on October 12, 2023. On January 22, 2024, the district court judge adopted the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and entered an order granting in part and denying in part Janus US Holdings’ motion to dismiss. The parties completed fact and expert discovery on May 27, 2025. Dispositive motions and motions to exclude expert testimony were due July 11, 2025, and a pretrial conference is scheduled for September 25, 2025. Janus US Holdings believes that it has substantial defenses and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q not based on historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those discussed. These include statements as to our future expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, events, conditions, financial performance, prospects or future events. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and similar words and phrases. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made and are not guarantees of future performance. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements.
Various risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates and inflation, changes in trade policies, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs, changes to tax laws, volatility or disruption in financial markets, our investment performance as compared to third-party benchmarks or competitive products, redemptions and other withdrawals from the funds and accounts we manage, and other risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under headings such as “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” and in other filings or furnishings made by the Company with the SEC from time to time.
Business Overview
We are an independent global asset manager, specializing in active investment across all major asset classes. We actively manage a broad range of investment products for institutional and retail investors across four capabilities: Equities, Fixed Income, Multi-Asset and Alternatives. Our strategy is based on three strategic pillars — Protect & Grow, Amplify and Diversify — and is centered on the belief that a combination of relentless focus and disciplined execution across our core business will drive future success as a global active asset manager. Specifically, our strategy lays a strong foundation for sustained organic growth and opportunistic inorganic growth to create value for all of our stakeholders, including clients, shareholders and employees. We serve a diverse clientele worldwide, comprising intermediaries, institutional investors and self-directed clients. To cater to regional needs effectively, we maintain local presence across most markets and provide investment materials tailored to local customs, preferences and languages supported by our global distribution team.
Revenue
Revenue primarily consists of management fees and performance fees. Management fees are generally based on a percentage of the market value of our AUM and are calculated using either the daily, month-end or quarter-end average asset balance in accordance with contractual agreements. Accordingly, fluctuations in the financial markets have a direct effect on our operating results. Additionally, our AUM may outperform or underperform the financial markets and, therefore, may fluctuate in varying degrees from that of the general market.
Performance fees are specified in certain fund and client contracts and are based on investment performance either on an absolute basis or compared to an established index over a specified period of time. These fees are often subject to a high-water mark. Performance fees are recognized at the end of the contractual period (typically monthly, quarterly or annually) if the stated performance criteria are achieved. Certain fund contracts allow for negative performance fees where there is underperformance against the relevant index.

We returned $113.3 million in capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks during the second quarter 2025. |
Financial Summary
Results are reported on a U.S. GAAP basis. Adjusted non-GAAP figures are presented in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.
Revenue for the second quarter 2025 was $633.2 million, an increase of $44.8 million, or 8%, compared to the second quarter 2024. The key driver of the increase was:
● |
An increase of $34.2 million in management fees primarily due to an improvement in average AUM. |
Total operating expenses for the second quarter 2025 were $469.4 million, an increase of $45.3 million, or 11%, compared to the second quarter 2024. Key drivers of the increase included:
● |
An increase of $13.5 million in general, administrative and occupancy expenses due in part to receiving a greater amount of insurance reimbursements in the second quarter 2024, compared to the second quarter 2025, related to trade errors. |
● |
An increase of $12.7 million in employee compensation and benefits primarily due to an increase in fixed compensation costs due to higher average headcount following acquisitions completed in 2024. |
● |
An increase of $6.3 million in distribution expenses primarily driven by an increase in average AUM. |
Operating income for the second quarter 2025 was $163.8 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, or (0.3%), compared to the second quarter 2024. Our operating margin was 25.9% in the second quarter 2025 compared to 27.9% in the second quarter 2024.
Net income attributable to JHG for the second quarter 2025 was $149.9 million, an increase of $20.2 million, or 16%, compared to the second quarter 2024. In addition to the aforementioned factors affecting revenue and operating expenses, key drivers of the variance included:
● |
A favorable movement of $46.2 million in investment gains, net, partially offset by an improvement of $30.7 million in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Movements in investment gains, net and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests are primarily due to market movements in relation to our seeded investment products and derivative instruments and the consolidation and deconsolidation of third-party ownership interests in seeded investment products. |
● |
An improvement of $13.5 million in other non-operating income, net, primarily due to a $10.6 million favorable fair value adjustment on acquisition-related contingent consideration. |

Assets Under Management
Our AUM as of June 30, 2025, was $457.3 billion, an increase of $78.6 billion, or 21%, from December 31, 2024, driven primarily by the addition of $46.5 billion of predominantly investment-grade public fixed income assets from Guardian's general account and favorable market performance of $21.1 billion. AUM includes assets for which we provide services and earn an asset-based fee, even though we do not act as the investment advisor.
Our non-USD AUM is primarily denominated in GBP, EUR and AUD. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the USD weakened against GBP, EUR and AUD, resulting in a $6.4 billion and an $8.8 billion increase in our AUM, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 24% of our AUM was non-USD-denominated.
Our AUM and flows by capability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were as follows (in billions):

Valuation of Assets Under Management
The fair value of our AUM is based on the value of the underlying cash and investment securities of our funds, trusts and segregated mandates. A significant proportion of these securities is listed or quoted on a recognized securities exchange or market and is regularly traded thereon; these investments are valued based on unadjusted quoted market prices. However, for non-U.S. equity securities held by U.S. mutual funds, excluding ETFs, the quoted market prices may be adjusted to capture market movement between the time the local market closes and the NYSE closes. Other investments, including over-the-counter derivative contracts (which are dealt in or through a clearing firm, exchanges or financial institutions), are valued by reference to the most recent official settlement price quoted by the appointed market vendor, and in the event no price is available from this source, a broker quotation may be used. Physical property held is valued monthly by a specialist independent appraiser.
When a readily ascertainable market value does not exist for an investment, the fair value is calculated using a variety of methodologies, including the expected cash flows of its underlying net asset base, taking into account applicable discount rates and other factors; comparable securities or relevant indices; recent financing rounds; revenue multiples; or a combination thereof. Judgment is used to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and to determine fair values when markets have become inactive. Our Fair Value Pricing committees are responsible for determining or approving these unquoted prices, which are reported to those charged with governance of the funds and trusts. For funds that invest in markets that are closed at their valuation point, an assessment is made daily to determine whether a fair value pricing adjustment is required to the fund’s valuation. This may be due to significant market movements in other correlated open markets, scheduled market closures or unscheduled market closures as a result of natural disaster or government intervention.
Our private credit investments are valued using a variety of methodologies and approaches, including the market approach and the income approach, which in many cases leverage unobservable inputs and assumptions, depending on the nature of the investment.
Third-party administrators hold a key role in the collection and validation of prices used in the valuation of the securities. Daily price validation is completed using techniques such as day-on-day tolerance movements, invariant prices, excessive movement checks and intra-vendor tolerance checks. Our data management team performs oversight of this process and completes annual due diligence on the processes of third parties.
In other cases, we and the sub-administrators perform a number of procedures to validate the pricing received from third-party providers. For actively traded equity and fixed income securities, prices are received daily from both a primary and secondary vendor. Prices from the primary and secondary vendors are compared to identify any discrepancies. In the event of a discrepancy, a price challenge may be issued to both vendors. Securities with significant day-to-day price changes require additional research, which may include a review of all news pertaining to the issue and issuer, and any corporate actions. All fixed income prices are reviewed by our fixed income trading desk to incorporate market activity information available to our traders. In the event the traders have received price indications from market makers for a particular issue, this information is transmitted to the pricing vendors.
We leverage the expertise of our fund management teams across the business to cross-invest assets and create value for our clients. Where cross investment occurs, assets and flows are identified, and the duplication is removed.
Results of Operations
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign currency translation impacts our results of operations. Revenue is impacted by foreign currency translation, but the impact is generally determined by the primary currency of the individual funds. Expenses are also impacted by foreign currency translation, primarily driven by the translation of GBP to USD. The GBP strengthened against the USD during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Meaningful foreign currency translation impacts to our revenue and operating expenses are discussed below.

Management fees
Management fees increased by $34.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher average AUM and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by a reduction in our management fee margin due to product mix shift.
Management fees increased by $87.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher average AUM, partially offset by a reduction in our management fee margin due to product mix shift.
Performance fees
Performance fees are derived across a number of product ranges. U.S. mutual fund performance fees are recognized on a monthly basis, while all other performance fees are recognized on a quarterly or annual basis. The investment management fees paid by each U.S. mutual fund subject to a performance fee is the base management fee plus or minus a performance fee adjustment, as determined by the relative investment performance of the fund, over a 36-month rolling period, compared to a specified benchmark index. Performance fees by product type consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):

Performance fees increased by $7.4 million and $16.9 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases were primarily driven by improved performance of U.S. mutual funds, partially offset by weaker performance in certain Société d‘Investissement À Capital Variable (“SICAV”) products.
Shareowner servicing fees
Shareowner servicing fees, which primarily consist of U.S. mutual fund servicing fees tied to AUM, increased by $1.5 million and $5.7 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases were primarily driven by higher average mutual fund AUM, partially offset by a reduction in fee margins driven by product mix shift.
Other revenue
Other revenue is primarily composed of 12b-1 distribution fees, general administration charges and other fee revenue. General administration charges include reimbursements from funds for various fees and expenses paid for by the investment manager on behalf of the funds. Other revenue increased by $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was not driven by any individually significant factors.
Other revenue increased by $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an improvement in average AUM, partially offset by a reduction in fee margins driven by product mix shift.

Employee compensation and benefits
Employee compensation and benefits increased by $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to a $7.8 million increase in fixed compensation costs, driven by higher average headcount following acquisitions completed in 2024. Additional contributing factors included unfavorable foreign currency translation of $5.0 million and $2.9 million in base pay increases. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million due to an increase in the capitalization of internal labor costs related to certain projects.
Employee compensation and benefits increased by $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to a $18.8 million increase in fixed compensation costs, driven by higher average headcount following acquisitions completed in 2024. Additional contributing factors included base pay increases of $5.8 million, unfavorable foreign currency translation of $4.5 million, and a $4.4 million increase in variable compensation, mainly driven by higher profitability. These increases were partially offset by a $3.2 million reduction resulting from higher capitalization of internal labor costs related to certain projects.
2025 compensation expenses
For the year ending December 31, 2025, we anticipate an adjusted compensation to revenue ratio in the range of 43% to 44%.
Long-term incentive plans
Long-term incentive plan expenses increased by $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $4.4 million increase for the roll-on of new awards and the accelerated recognition of expense related to departed employees, which exceeded the impact of vested award roll-offs and forfeitures. Additionally, market appreciation of mutual fund share awards contributed $1.7 million. These increases were partially offset by a $2.9 million reduction driven by a change in the estimated performance of certain other long-term incentive awards.
Long-term incentive plan expenses decreased by $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily due to a $5.2 million reduction from market depreciation of mutual fund share awards and changes in the estimated performance of certain other long-term incentive awards. This was partially offset by a $1.6 million increase related to the roll-on of new awards and accelerated expense recognition for departed employees, which exceeded the impact of vested award roll-offs and forfeitures.
Distribution expenses
Distribution expenses are paid to financial intermediaries for distributing and servicing our retail investment products and are typically calculated based on the amount of the intermediary-sourced AUM. Distribution expenses increased by $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher average AUM subject to distribution expenses and unfavorable foreign currency translation.
Distribution expenses increased by $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher average AUM subject to distribution expenses.
Investment administration
Investment administration expenses, which represent fund administration and fund accounting, increased by $4.1 million and $8.0 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases were primarily due to contractual changes with a third-party vendor.
Marketing
Marketing expenses increased by $2.2 million and $4.1 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases were primarily driven by higher spending on sponsored events and advertising campaigns.
General, administrative and occupancy
General, administrative and occupancy expenses increased by $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $4.7 million insurance reimbursement recognized in the second quarter 2024 related to a separately managed account trade error, compared to a $1.1 million insurance reimbursement recognized in the second quarter 2025. Additional drivers included higher travel and entertainment expenses ($1.5 million), rent-related expenses ($1.4 million), market data expenses ($1.3 million) and information technology costs ($1.2 million).
General, administrative and occupancy expenses increased by $20.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $4.7 million insurance reimbursement recognized in the second quarter 2024, compared to a $1.1 million insurance reimbursement recognized in the second quarter 2025. Other contributing factors included higher market data costs ($3.1 million), legal and professional fees ($2.5 million), rent-related expenses ($2.4 million), travel and entertainment expenses ($1.8 million) and information technology costs ($1.8 million).
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $3.2 million and $6.6 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases were primarily driven by the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of a controlling interest in VPC in the fourth quarter of 2024.
2025 non-compensation operating expenses
For the year ending December 31, 2025, we anticipate adjusted non-compensation expense annual growth in the high-single digits compared to 2024. The anticipated growth in our non-compensation expense is due to planned investments supporting our strategic initiatives and operational efficiencies, as well as anticipated inflation, changes in foreign currency rates and the full-year impact of the consolidation of VPC, TCM, NBK and Tabula.

Investment gains, net improved by $46.2 million and $18.2 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. These changes were primarily driven by the consolidation and deconsolidation of third-party ownership interests in seeded investment products, as well as fair value adjustments related to those products.
Gains and losses attributable to third-party ownership interests in seeded investment products are noncontrolling interests and are not included in net income attributable to JHG.
Other non-operating income, net
Other non-operating income, net increased by $13.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $10.6 million favorable fair value adjustment to decrease acquisition-related contingent consideration and a $5.8 million year-over-year gain related to the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities. These gains were partially offset by a $1.5 million decline in interest income and a $1.5 million unfavorable fair value adjustment on an option agreement.
Other non-operating income, net decreased by $14.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily due to a $16.5 million year-over-year change in the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities, a $2.8 million unfavorable fair value adjustment on an option agreement, a $2.1 million decrease in interest income and a $2.0 million unfavorable foreign currency revaluation. These impacts were partially offset by a $10.6 million favorable fair value adjustment on acquisition-related contingent consideration.
For the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2025, we expect significant foreign currency translation adjustments to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to other non-operating income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income due to the anticipated liquidation of certain non-operating JHG entities. The timing of the reclassifications is uncertain and dependent on the progression of the liquidation process. Our current estimate is $42 million, net, which would unfavorably impact other non-operating income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. However, the reclassifications could be significantly lower or higher than this amount due to the progression of the liquidation process and, to a lesser extent, changes in foreign currency rates. The reclassification activity is not part of our ongoing operations and will not be included in our adjusted results.
Income tax provision

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was impacted by the disallowed noncontrolling interest from seeded investment products.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was similarly impacted by the disallowed noncontrolling interest from seeded investment products. However, the 2024 effective tax rate also reflected a benefit from the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income related to liquidated JHG entities.
On July 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed the OBBBA. Under U.S. GAAP, tax law changes are recognized in the period in which they are enacted. For U.S. federal tax purposes, the enactment date for U.S. GAAP is the date the President signs the bill into law, which occurred after the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The OBBBA introduces several changes to corporate taxation, including modifications to the capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. Management does not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
For the year ending December 31, 2025, we expect our tax rate on adjusted net income attributable to JHG to be in the range of 23% to 25%.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, we evaluate our profitability and our ongoing operations using additional non-GAAP financial measures that exclude costs that are not part of our ongoing operations. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate the business, and adjusted values are consistent with internal management reporting. We have provided a reconciliation below of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Alternative performance measures
The following is a reconciliation of revenue, operating expenses, operating income, net income attributable to JHG and diluted earnings per share to adjusted revenue, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to JHG and adjusted diluted earnings per share, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions, except per share and operating margin data):

We contract with third-party intermediaries to distribute and service certain of our investment products. Fees for distribution- and servicing-related activities are either provided for separately in an investment product’s prospectus or are part of the management fee. Under both arrangements, the fees are collected by us and passed through to third-party intermediaries who are responsible for performing the applicable services. The majority of distribution and servicing fees we collect are passed through to third-party intermediaries. JHG management believes that the deduction of distribution and servicing fees from revenue in the computation of adjusted revenue reflects the pass-through nature of these revenues. In certain arrangements, we perform the distribution and servicing activities and retain the applicable fee. Revenues for distribution and servicing activities performed by us are not deducted from GAAP revenue. In addition to the adjustments related to distribution and servicing activities, other revenue also includes an adjustment related to an employee secondment arrangement with a joint venture. The arrangement is pass-through in nature, and we believe the costs do not represent our ongoing operations. |

Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, include an adjustment related to an employee secondment arrangement with a joint venture. The arrangement is pass-through in nature, and we believe the costs do not represent our ongoing operations. Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, also include acquisition-related expenses, redundancy expense and the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense related to the departure of certain employees, and insurance reimbursements related to trade errors. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations. |

Investment management contracts have been identified as a separately identifiable intangible asset arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses. Such contracts are recognized at the net present value of the expected future cash flows arising from the contracts at the date of acquisition. For segregated mandate contracts, the intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the contracts. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs are not representative of our ongoing operations. |

Operating margin is operating income divided by revenue. |

Adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, include the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from JHG liquidated entities.

JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations. |

The tax impact of the adjustments is calculated based on the applicable U.S. or foreign statutory tax rate as it relates to each adjustment. Certain adjustments are either not taxable or not tax-deductible. |

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our capital structure, together with available cash balances, cash flows generated from operations, and further capital and credit market activities, if necessary, provides us with sufficient resources to meet present and future cash needs, including operating and other obligations as they fall due and anticipated future capital requirements.
The following table summarizes key balance sheet data relating to our liquidity and capital resources as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

Fees and other receivables |
$ | 309.3 | $ | 356.6 | ||||
Long-term debt |
$ | 395.2 | $ | 395.0 |
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash held at banks, on-demand deposits, investments in money market instruments, highly liquid short-term debt securities and commercial paper with a maturity date of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents exclude cash held by consolidated VIEs and consolidated VREs, and investments exclude noncontrolling interests as these assets are not available for general corporate purposes.
Investments held by us represent seeded investment products (exclusive of noncontrolling interests), investments related to deferred compensation plans and other less significant investments classified as current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We believe that existing cash and cash from operations should be sufficient to satisfy our short-term capital requirements. Expected short-term uses of cash include ordinary operating expenditures, seed capital investments, interest expense, dividend payments, income tax payments and common stock repurchases. We may also use available cash for other general corporate purposes and acquisitions.
Regulatory Capital
We are subject to regulatory oversight by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and other international regulatory bodies. We strive to ensure that we are compliant with our regulatory obligations at all times. Our primary capital requirement relates to the FCA-supervised regulatory group (a sub-group of our company), comprising Janus Henderson (UK) Holdings Limited, all of its subsidiaries and Janus Henderson Investors International Limited (“JHIIL”). JHIIL is included as a connected undertaking to meet the requirements of the Investment Firm Prudential Regime (“IFPR”) for Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID”) investment firms (“MIFIDPRU”). The combined capital requirement is £159.2 million ($218.2 million), resulting in £302.0 million ($413.8 million) of capital above the requirement as of June 30, 2025, based upon internal calculations and taking into account the effect of foreseeable dividends. The increase in the surplus since March 31, 2025, is primarily due to the recognition of profits for the year ended December 31, 2024, as part of regulatory capital. Capital requirements in other jurisdictions are not significant in aggregate. The FCA-supervised regulatory group is also subject to liquidity requirements and holds a sufficient surplus above these requirements.
Short-Term Liquidity Considerations
Common Stock Purchases — Corporate Buyback Program
On May 1, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the 2024 Corporate Buyback Program to which we were authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock, and on October 30, 2024, our Board of Directors approved an incremental share buyback authorization to repurchase up to an additional $50.0 million of our common stock at any time prior to the date of our 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, which was held on April 30, 2025. As of April 30, 2025, cumulative shares repurchased under the 2024 Corporate Buyback Program were 3,778,622 for $146.8 million.
On April 30, 2025, our Board of Directors approved the 2025 Corporate Buyback Program to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock at any time prior to the date of our 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. As of June 30, 2025, cumulative shares repurchased under the 2025 Corporate Buyback Program were 1,344,304 for $49.5 million.
Common Stock Purchases — Share Plan Repurchases
On May 1, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to five million additional shares of common stock to make grants to executives and employees at any time prior to the date of our 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, which was held on April 30, 2025. As of April 30, 2025, cumulative shares repurchased under the 2024 Share Plan Repurchases were 250,001 shares for $8.6 million.
On April 30, 2025, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to six million additional shares of common stock to make grants to executives and employees at any time prior to the date of our 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. As of June 30, 2025, cumulative shares repurchased under the 2025 Share Plan Repurchases were 2,500,200 shares for $92.3 million.
Dividends
The payment of cash dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on many factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and legal requirements.
Dividends declared and paid during the six months ended June 30, 2025, were as follows:

Long-Term Liquidity Considerations
Expected long-term commitments as of June 30, 2025, include principal and interest payments related to our 2034 Senior Notes, operating and finance lease payments, and acquisition-related contingent consideration. We expect to fund our long-term commitments with existing cash and cash generated from operations or by accessing capital and credit markets as necessary.
Other Sources of Liquidity
At June 30, 2025, we had a $200 million unsecured, revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Facility includes an option for us to request an increase to our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of up to an additional $50.0 million. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is June 30, 2030.
The Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and bears interest on borrowings outstanding at the relevant interbank offer rate plus a spread.
The Credit Facility contains a financial covenant related to our long-term credit rating and financial leverage. If our long-term credit rating falls below a predefined threshold, our financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x EBITDA. At the latest practicable date before the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants, and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. Refer to Note 8 — Debt for further information on the Credit Facility.

We consolidate certain seeded investment products into our group financial statements. The purchases and sales of investments within consolidated seeded investment products are disclosed separately from our capital contributions to seed a product. We also maintain an economic hedge program that uses derivative instruments to mitigate against market exposure of certain seeded investments. The cash received and paid as part of this program is reflected in the table above.
We periodically add new investment strategies to our investment product offerings by providing the initial cash investment, or seeding, in a product. The primary purpose of seeded investment products is to generate an investment performance track record in these products and leverage that track record to attract third-party investors. We may redeem our seed capital investments for a variety of reasons, including when third-party investments in the relevant product are sufficient to sustain the investment strategy. The cash associated with seeding and redeeming seeded investment products is reflected in the above table as purchases of investments, net.
The transactions discussed above represent a majority of the activity within investing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The majority of cash flows within financing activities were driven by third-party capital invested into consolidated seeded investment products, net, payment of dividends to shareholders, and the purchase of common stock for stock-based compensation plans and as part of the 2024 and 2025 Corporate Buyback Programs. Third-party capital invested into consolidated seeded investment products, net represents the cash received from third-party investors in a seeded investment product that is consolidated into our group financial statements. When a third-party investor redeems the investment, a cash outflow is disclosed as a distribution.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, information from third-party professionals, as appropriate, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes in our exposure to market risks from that previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2025, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed by us to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rule and forms the information we must disclose in reports that we file with or submit to the SEC. Ali Dibadj, our CEO, and Roger Thompson, our Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in management’s evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Dibadj and Mr. Thompson concluded that as of the date of their evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second quarter 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
See Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and value of our common stock.
