Hartford, CT, April 29, 2016 - Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTS), which operates a multi-manager asset management business, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Management Commentary

“Our first quarter net flows were impacted by elevated redemptions in one of our funds following an organizational change at a subadviser, which offset modest growth in separately managed accounts, further traction in ETFs, and positive market performance,” said George Aylward, president and chief executive officer.

“Operating income, as adjusted, decreased in the quarter due to lower revenues from a decline in average assets under management and the partial-quarter impact of a negative variable incentive fee. Excluding that fee, as well as incremental payroll taxes associated with annual incentive payments, operating margin, as adjusted, would have been 30 percent.

“Relative investment performance across our product offerings remains strong and we continue to believe that we offer products that can be attractive across market cycles. Our ability to offer differentiated investment solutions from a variety of distinctive managers is a fundamental element of our business model.

“In the quarter we returned $19.9 million of capital to shareholders and reduced ending shares outstanding by 1.7 percent from December 31, 2015, contributing to a 7.3 percent reduction from March 31, 2015. While the core elements of our capital strategy remain the same, the current products in our pipeline require lower levels of seed, and therefore we expect to use the majority of the proceeds from pending fund liquidations to support return of capital to shareholders.”

Asset Flows and Assets Under Management

Assets under management were $45.7 billion at March 31, 2016 compared with $54.8 billion at March 31, 2015 and $47.4 billion at December 31, 2015. The change from the prior year is attributable to net flows of ($6.8) billion and market depreciation of ($1.5) billion. The sequential change reflects ($2.6) billion of net flows, which more than offset $1.1 billion of market appreciation.

Total sales were $2.8 billion in the first quarter compared with $3.7 billion in the prior-year quarter and $3.2 billion in the sequential quarter. Net flows were ($2.6) billion in the first quarter compared with ($2.2) billion in the prior-year quarter and ($1.1) billion in the sequential quarter. Net outflows in the quarter were primarily attributable to open-end mutual funds, while separately managed accounts and ETFs contributed positive flows.

Open-end mutual fund sales were $2.2 billion in the first quarter compared with $3.0 billion in the prior-year quarter and $2.5 billion in the sequential quarter. The decrease from the prior-year quarter reflects lower sales across asset classes; the sequential-quarter decrease reflects lower sales in the Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund. Mutual fund net flows were ($2.6) billion in the first quarter compared with ($2.4) billion in the prior-year quarter and ($1.2) billion in the sequential quarter. Current-quarter net outflows reflect elevated redemptions in the Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund following an organizational change at the fund's subadviser.

ETF sales were $62.3 million in the first quarter compared with $57.7 million in the sequential quarter. For the respective periods, ETF net flows were $28.5 million compared with $34.7 million.

Institutional sales were $186.2 million in the first quarter compared with $368.1 million in the prior-year quarter and $226.6 million in the sequential quarter. Net flows were ($90.4) million compared with $220.9 million in the prior-year quarter and $45.3 million in the sequential quarter. Current-quarter net flows included a $115.0 million partial redemption of the low-fee portion of a client account.

Earnings Summary

Non-GAAP Results

Management believes that a series of non-GAAP financial measures most accurately reflects the company’s operating results from providing investment management and related services to individuals and institutions, and uses these measures to evaluate financial performance. Quarterly reconciliations of the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure can be found on pages 11 through 13 of this earnings release.

Revenues, as Adjusted

Total revenues, as adjusted, were $62.4 million in the first quarter compared with $79.7 million in the prior-year quarter and $66.7 million in the sequential quarter. The declines from the prior periods reflect lower investment management and administration and transfer agent fees.

Investment management fees, as adjusted, were $57.7 million in the first quarter compared with $70.8 million in the prior-year quarter and $60.9 million in the sequential quarter. Average assets under management were $45.7 billion in the first quarter compared with $55.7 billion in the prior-year quarter and $48.5 billion in the sequential quarter. The average fee rate in the quarter was 49.7 basis points compared with 51.5 basis points in the prior-year quarter and 48.4 basis points in the sequential quarter. The average fee rate in the current and sequential quarter each included the impact of a negative variable incentive fee; excluding that fee, the open-end fund fee rate would have been 49.9 and 52.1 basis points, respectively. The decline in the fee rate from the sequential quarter reflects higher fund expense reimbursements and the effect of outflows in higher-fee products.

Administration and transfer agent fees, as adjusted, were $10.1 million in the first quarter compared with $13.1 million in the prior-year quarter and $11.1 million in the sequential quarter. The decrease from the prior periods reflects lower average open-end fund assets under management.

Operating Expenses, as Adjusted

Total operating expenses, as adjusted, were $47.2 million in the first quarter compared with $47.6 million in the prior-year quarter and $47.3 million in the sequential quarter. The decrease from prior periods reflects lower other operating expenses, as adjusted, that offset higher employment expenses, as adjusted.

Employment expenses, as adjusted, were $36.0 million in the first quarter compared with $35.6 million in the prior-year quarter and $34.4 million in the sequential quarter. The increase over the sequential quarter reflects $2.3 million of higher payroll taxes related to the timing of the payment of annual incentive compensation, partially offset by lower variable compensation. The increase over the prior-year quarter is primarily attributable to the addition of Virtus ETF Solutions and resources to support quantitative strategies that were previously managed by a subadviser.

Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. 4.

Other operating expenses, as adjusted, were $10.4 million in the first quarter compared with $11.2 million in the prior-year quarter and $12.0 million in the sequential quarter. The sequential quarter included $0.8 million of discrete professional fees and fund-related expenses. The decrease from the prior-year quarter reflects lower professional, travel and marketing expenses.

Operating Income, as Adjusted, and Related Margin

Operating income, as adjusted, was $15.2 million for the first quarter compared with $32.2 million in the prior-year quarter and $19.4 million in the sequential quarter. The related margin was 24 percent compared with 40 percent and 29 percent for the respective prior periods, reflecting lower revenues, as adjusted. Excluding the impact of the incremental payroll taxes and variable incentive fee, the first quarter operating margin, as adjusted, would have been 30 percent compared with 34 percent in the sequential quarter.

Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders, as Adjusted

Net income attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted, was $9.5 million, or $1.12 per diluted common share, compared with $20.3 million or $2.22 per share in the prior-year quarter and $11.9 million or $1.37 per share in the sequential quarter. Current and sequential quarter adjusted earnings per share included ($0.13) and ($0.33) related to the variable incentive fee, respectively. Excluding the impact of that fee and the incremental payroll taxes, current and sequential-quarter adjusted earnings per share would have been $1.42 and $1.70, respectively.

Effective Tax Rate, as Adjusted

The effective tax rate, as adjusted, was 38 percent for the first quarter, unchanged from the prior-year quarter and compared with 39 percent in the sequential quarter.

GAAP Results

Total revenues were $80.3 million in the first quarter compared with $103.8 million in the prior-year quarter and $86.1 million in the sequential quarter reflecting lower average assets and fee rates.

Operating expenses were $67.5 million in the first quarter compared with $79.3 million in the prior-year quarter and $69.6 million in the sequential quarter. Operating expenses decreased from the sequential quarter due to lower distribution and other asset-based expenses.

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the first quarter was $12.4 million, or $1.45 per diluted common share, which includes $2.4 million, or $0.28 per share, of unrealized gains on investments. This compares with net income of $19.3 million, or $2.11 per share, in the prior-year quarter that included ($2.6) million, or ($0.28) per share, of unrealized losses. In the sequential quarter, the company reported net income of $6.6 million, or $0.76 per share, that included ($8.5) million, or ($0.97) per share, of unrealized losses.

The first quarter effective tax rate was 39 percent compared with 36 percent in the prior-year quarter and 60 percent in the sequential quarter. The tax rates for the current and prior-year quarters were impacted by valuation allowance releases of $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The sequential quarter tax rate was impacted by a ($2.5) million valuation allowance.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Cash and investments were $382.5 million at March 31, 2016 compared with $430.2 million at March 31, 2015 and $421.5 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease from prior periods was primarily due to return of capital to shareholders and the timing of annual incentive payments that offset cash generated. On a per share basis, cash and investments were $46 at March 31, 2016 compared with $48 at March 31, 2015 and $50 at December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, the company had no debt outstanding and $75.0 million of unused capacity on its credit facility.

Working capital was $59.1 million at March 31, 2016 compared with $189.8 million at March 31, 2015 and $71.8 million at December 31, 2015. The change from March 31, 2015 reflects return of capital, increased seed activity and an equity investment in an entity created for a potential CLO. The change from December 31, 2015 was primarily due to return of capital to shareholders and net seed activity of ($5.5) million, partially offset by cash generated by the business.

The company’s seed capital investments were $280.9 million at March 31, 2016 compared with $241.8 million at March 31, 2015 and $273.7 million at December 31, 2015. The change from the prior-year quarter reflects $54.9 million of net seed activity partially offset by unrealized mark-to-market adjustments.

Three of the company’s alternative funds are in the process of being liquidated and the return of seed capital is expected to generate proceeds of approximately $114.0 million in the second quarter. The company expects to use the majority of the proceeds to support return of capital to shareholders.

In the first quarter, the company returned $19.9 million to shareholders, including share repurchases of $15.0 million. As a result of share repurchases, ending shares outstanding decreased to 8.3 million at March 31, 2016, a decline of 7.3 percent from March 31, 2015 and 1.7 percent from December 31, 2015.

Notes

The following are notes to the reconciliations of the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure for the periods presented on pages 11 through 13.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release differ from financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a result of the reclassification of certain income statement items, as well as the adjustment of certain expenses and other items that are not reflective of the earnings generated from providing investment management and related services. Non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures.

In particular, the company reclassifies:

1.
Distribution and other asset-based expenses - These costs are generally passed directly through to external parties. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that do not distribute products through intermediary distribution partners or utilize third party service providers for investment management related services.
2.
Consolidated investment products - Management believes that excluding the operating activities of majority-owned funds and CLOs to reflect revenues and expenses of the company prior to the consolidation of these products is consistent with the approach of reflecting its operating results as only revenues generated and expenses incurred related to providing investment management and related services will be included in operating income, as adjusted.

Net income attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted, excludes from net income:

Closed-end fund launch costs - Expenses related to the launch of closed-end funds, or similar products, including structuring fees and sales-based compensation related to the launch. The timing of closed-end fund issuances can be unpredictable, and related costs can fluctuate considerably. In addition, revenue associated with these costs will not fully impact financial results until future periods. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company’s operating results with prior periods and with other asset management firms that do not issue closed-end funds, or similar products.
Amortization of intangible assets - Non-cash amortization expense or impairment expense, if any, attributable to acquisition-related intangible assets. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with other asset management firms that have not engaged in acquisitions.
Seed capital and CLO investments - Gains and losses (realized and unrealized), dividends and interest income generated by seed capital and CLO investments. Earnings or losses generated by investments in seed capital products can vary significantly from period-to-period and do not reflect the company’s operating results from providing investment management and related services. Management believes that making this adjustment aids in comparing the company’s operating results with prior periods and with other asset management firms that do not have meaningful seed capital and CLO investments.
Other - Certain expenses and losses related to restructuring, severance, regulatory matters, and transition items that are not reflective of the ongoing earnings generation of the business. In addition, income tax expense/(benefit) items, such as adjustments for uncertain tax positions, valuation allowances and other unusual items not related to current operating results to reflect a

normalized effective rate. Management believes that making these adjustments aids in comparing the company’s operating results with prior periods.

Revenues, as adjusted, comprise the fee revenues paid by clients for investment management and related services. Revenues, as adjusted, for purposes of calculating net income attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted, differ from U.S. GAAP revenues in that they are reduced by distribution and other asset-based expenses that are generally passed through to external parties, and exclude the impact of consolidated sponsored investment products.

Operating expenses, as adjusted, is calculated to reflect expenses from ongoing continuing operations attributable to stockholders. Operating expenses, as adjusted, for purposes of calculating net income attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted, differ from U.S. GAAP expenses in that they exclude amortization or impairment, if any, of intangible assets, restructuring and severance, the impact of consolidated sponsored investment products, and certain other expenses that do not reflect the ongoing earnings generation of the business.

Operating margin, as adjusted, is a metric used to evaluate efficiency represented by operating income, as adjusted, divided by revenues, as adjusted.

Earnings per share, as adjusted, represent net income attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted, divided by weighted average shares outstanding, on either a basic or diluted basis.
