Insights

Asset management analyst

Q3 showed broad-based fee growth and margin expansion.

JHG posted revenue of $700.4M, up year over year on higher management fees and performance fees. Operating income reached $172.0M, reflecting cost discipline despite higher distribution and compensation expenses.

Non-operating items swung favorably: investment gains of $55.1M and improved other non-operating income supported net income attributable to JHG of $142.1M. The effective tax rate was 20.0%, aided by the absence of prior-year non-deductible items.

Balance sheet liquidity remained solid with $996.9M in cash against $395.4M of notes due 2034. The Guardian partnership added a $41.1M definite-lived intangible and a $26.0M warrant liability; actual earnings impact will depend on fair value adjustments.

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 September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which removes all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. Therefore, under the ASU, software capitalization will begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and when it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function. ASU 2025-06 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2028, and interim reporting periods within that period. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis, on a modified transition approach, or a retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. 

In December 2023, the FASB issued 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 2 — Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships

Guardian Life Insurance Company of America

On June 30, 2025, JHG entered into a strategic partnership with Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (“Guardian”), pursuant to which JHG will manage Guardian’s public fixed income asset portfolio, which consists of predominantly investment-grade public fixed income assets.

In connection with the transaction, Guardian received consideration comprising 1.6 million equity warrants of JHG and the right to participate economically in other certain strategic initiatives. The equity warrants vest over a 10-year period, with 30% vesting immediately and the remaining 70% vesting in 10% annual increments beginning in 2029 and ending in 2035.

Upon closing, JHG recognized a $41.1 million definite-lived intangible asset related to an investment management agreement with Guardian and corresponding liabilities for equity warrants and other economic consideration.

Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC

On October 1, 2024, JHG completed the acquisition of Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC (“VPC”), a global private credit manager. VPC expands our capabilities into the private markets for our clients.

JHG acquired 55% of the voting equity interests for $114.0 million, using existing cash resources, and 824,208 shares of JHG common stock, which had a closing market price of $37.74 on October 1, 2024. In addition, subject to achieving certain revenue targets, JHG will deliver earnout consideration to be payable in 2027. As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of VPC was $19.8 million. The maximum total contingent consideration per the agreement is $111.4 million.

The fair value of the intangible assets comprises investment management contracts with a fair value of $28.0 million, client relationships with a fair value of $20.5 million and a trademark with a fair value of $5.5 million as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the investment management contracts was determined based on the multi-period excess earnings method (a Level 3 input) and has a useful life of approximately four years. The fair value of the client relationships was determined based on the multi-period excess earnings method (a Level 3 input) and has a useful life of approximately four to 10 years. The fair value of the trademark was determined based on the relief-from-royalty method (a Level 3 input) and has a useful life of nine years. The useful lives are based on the individual contractual terms and the period over which the majority of cashflows would be realized. The definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life and have a weighted-average useful life of approximately six years.

(2)

The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined based on an extrapolation of consideration method.

In addition to our acquisition of VPC, on February 3, 2025, JHG completed the acquisition of a 55% voting equity interest in Triumph Capital Markets Holdco, LP (“TCM”), which represents VPC’s broker-dealer business. As part of the acquisition, the revenues related to TCM will be considered in the calculation of the earnout consideration payable, which was initially recorded as part of the VPC acquisition. The TCM acquisition is not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Tabula Investment Management

On July 1, 2024, JHG completed the acquisition of Tabula Investment Management (“Tabula”), a leading independent exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) provider in Europe with an existing focus on fixed income and sustainable investment solutions. JHG acquired 98.8% of the voting equity interests of Tabula. Before the acquisition, we held a 1.2% investment in Tabula. The Tabula acquisition is not material to the consolidated financial statements. 

NBK Capital Partners

On September 19, 2024, JHG completed the acquisition of NBK Capital Partners (“NBK”), the wealth management arm of the National Bank of Kuwait Group, whereby NBK’s private investments team joined JHG as the firm’s new emerging markets private capital division. JHG has acquired 100% of the voting equity interests of NBK. Following the closing of the acquisition, NBK was rebranded as Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Private Investments Limited. The NBK acquisition is not material to the 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 September 30, 2025, and  December 31, 2024 (in millions):

		Notional value
		September 30, 2025				December 31, 2024

Total return swaps			59.4				69.7
Foreign currency forward contracts			296.6				328.2
TBAs			42.6				9.1

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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, are summarized as follows (in millions):

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 September 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.

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 September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, is summarized as follows (in millions):

		Notional value
		September 30, 2025				December 31, 2024
Foreign currency forward contracts and swaps		$	36.9			$	38.4

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 September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the derivative assets and liabilities, related to foreign currency hedging, were insignificant.

Changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognized in other non-operating income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency remeasurement is also recognized in other non-operating income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the change in fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts and swaps was insignificant.​ ​

Derivative Instruments — Warrants

Equity warrants issued as part of the strategic partnership with Guardian are classified as derivative instruments and included in other non-current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2025, the derivative liability was $26.0 million. Fair value adjustments associated with the warrant liability will be recognized in other non-operating income (expense), net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

 ​

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 September 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.

Changes in Fair Value

Changes in fair value of our Level 3 assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were as follows (in millions):

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 $20.4 million are excluded from the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2025. Further, the respective fund’s investment portfolio may contain debt investments that are in the form of revolving lines of credit and unfunded delayed draw commitments, which require the fund to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of  September 30, 2025, the investments valued at the practical expedient had $3.5 million of associated unfunded commitments.

Note 8 — Debt

Our debt as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, consisted of the following (in millions):

		Carrying value
		September 30, 2025				December 31, 2024
5.450% Senior Notes due 2034		$	395.4			$	395.0

5.450% Senior Notes Due 2034

The 5.450% Senior Notes due 2034 (“2034 Senior Notes”) have a principal amount of $400.0 million as of September 30, 2025, pay interest at 5.450% semiannually on March 10 and September 10 of each year, and mature on September 10, 2034. The 2034 Senior Notes include unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of $4.6 million at September 30, 2025, which will be accreted over the remaining life of the notes. The unamortized debt discount and issuance costs are recorded as a non-current contra liability in long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.    

Credit Facility

At September 30, 2025, we had a $200 million, unsecured, revolving credit facility (“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 Credit Facility had a maturity date of June 30, 2028, with two one-year extension options that could be exercised at the discretion of JHG with the lender’s consent on the first and second anniversary of the date of the agreement. We exercised the options to extend the term of the Credit Facility on the first and second anniversary of the agreement. The revised maturity date of the Credit Facility is June 30, 2030. JHG and its subsidiaries may use the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. The rate of interest for each interest period is the aggregate of the applicable margin, which is based on our long-term credit rating and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in relation to any loan in U.S. dollars (“USD”), the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) in relation to any loan in British pounds (“GBP”), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) in relation to any loan in euros (“EUR”) or the Bank Bill Swap Rate (“BBSW”) in relation to any loan in Australian dollars (“AUD”). We are also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion of the Credit Facility, which is based on our long-term credit rating. If our credit rating falls below a certain threshold, as defined in the Credit Facility, our financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x EBITDA. At September 30, 2025, our credit rating was at or above the threshold established by the Credit Facility, and there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

		Three months ended								Nine months ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2025				2024				2025				2024
Effective tax rate			20.0	%			46.6	%			20.6	%			26.6	%

The change in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2025, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, was primarily attributable to the absence of certain non-deductible items recognized in the prior year. The 2024 effective tax rate included the impact of the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities, which were treated as non-deductible for tax purposes. The 2025 effective tax rate was further impacted by disallowed noncontrolling interest associated with seeded investment products. 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $27.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits held for uncertain tax positions. 

On July 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes several changes to corporate income tax provisions, including modifications to the capitalization of research and development expenditures, limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, and accelerated depreciation for certain fixed assets. The Company has assessed the income tax effects of the OBBBA and does not expect the enactment of this legislation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable noncontrolling interests as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, consisted of the following (in millions):

		September 30,				December 31,
		2025				2024

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.

The following table presents the movement in redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):

Dividends Per Share

The payment of cash dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on many factors, including, but not limited to, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, legal requirements and general business conditions.

The following is a summary of cash dividends declared and paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Dividend			Date		Dividends paid			Date

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 single-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.

Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and contingencies may arise in the normal course of business.

Investment Commitments

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had capital commitments totaling $15.0 million to fund our seeded investment product in a private market strategy. These commitments are callable on demand at any time prior to their respective expiration date, and the timing of the funding is uncertain. The unfunded capital commitments are not recorded on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company intends to make additional capital commitments periodically to support the launch and growth of new investment products.

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, an amended complaint was filed against the same defendants, naming 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 January 22, 2024, the district court entered an order granting in part and denying in part Janus US Holdings' motion to dismiss. The parties thereafter conducted fact and expert discovery, which was completed on May 27, 2025.

On July 11, 2025, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment with respect to all of the claims asserted in the complaint, as well as a motion to exclude certain opinions offered by the plaintiffs’ experts. Also on July 11, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment with respect to one element of their fiduciary duty claim, and a motion to exclude certain opinions offered by the defendants’ damages expert. Those motions have been fully briefed but no decision has been issued. On September 29, 2025, the district court entered an order scheduling an eight-day trial starting on July 20, 2026. Janus US Holdings believes that it has substantial defenses and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

Note 17 — Subsequent Event

On October 27, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the Company has received a letter outlining a non-binding acquisition proposal submitted jointly by Trian Fund Management, L.P. and its affiliated funds (“Trian”) and General Catalyst Group Management, LLC and its affiliated funds (“General Catalyst”) (the “Proposal”).

The Company’s board of directors has appointed a special committee to consider the Proposal, which was received by letter on October 26 and contemplates the acquisition of all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company not already owned or controlled by Trian for $46.00 per share in cash.

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, the duration of the U.S. government shutdown, 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, shareowner servicing 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.

THIRD QUARTER 2025 SUMMARY

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

● We achieved solid long-term investment performance, with 74%, 64% and 65% of our AUM outperforming relevant benchmarks on a three-, five- and 10-year basis, respectively, as of September 30, 2025.

 ​

● AUM increased to $483.8 billion, up 6% from June 20, 2025, and 27% from September 30, 2024.

● We recognized six consecutive quarters of positive net inflows, with third quarter 2025 net inflows of $7.8 billion, reflecting net inflows in both Intermediary and Institutional.

● Third quarter 2025 diluted earnings per share was $0.92, or $1.09 on an adjusted basis. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for information on adjusted non-GAAP figures.

 ​ ​

● On October 29, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a $0.40 per share dividend for the third quarter 2025.

 ​

● We returned $128.9 million in capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks during the third 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 third quarter 2025 was $700.4 million, an increase of $75.6 million, or 12%, compared to the third quarter 2024. The key driver of the increase was:

 ​

● An increase of $60.3 million in management fees primarily due to an improvement in average AUM.

 ​

Total operating expenses for the third quarter 2025 were $528.4 million, an increase of $68.3 million, or 15%, compared to the third quarter 2024. Key drivers of the increase included:

● An increase of $28.4 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 $11.9 million in distribution expenses primarily driven by an increase in average AUM.

Operating income for the third quarter 2025 was $172.0 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 4.4%, compared to the third quarter 2024. Our operating margin was 24.6% in the third quarter 2025 compared to 26.4% in the third quarter 2024.

Net income attributable to JHG for the third quarter 2025 was $142.1 million, an increase of $114.8 million, or 421%, compared to the third quarter 2024. In addition to the aforementioned factors affecting revenue and operating expenses, key drivers of the variance included:

 ​

● An improvement of $106.8 million in other non-operating income (expense), net, primarily due to a $112.5 million benefit in the year-over-year change in the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities.

● A favorable movement of $20.1 million in investment gains, net, partially offset by an improvement of $16.2 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.

Investment Performance of Assets Under Management

The following table is a summary of investment performance as of September 30, 2025:

Percentage of AUM outperforming benchmark(1)		1 year				3 years				5 years				10 years
Equities			37	%			63	%			50	%			52	%
Fixed Income			91	%			90	%			85	%			94	%
Multi-Asset			96	%			94	%			98	%			97	%
Alternatives			99	%			99	%			100	%			100	%
Total			59	%			74	%			64	%			65	%

(1)   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, legacy Tabula passive ETFs, Fixed Income Buy & Maintain mandates, legacy NBK and VPC funds, Managed CDOs, Private Equity funds and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Excluded assets represent 14% of AUM for the period ended September 30, 2025.

Assets Under Management

Our AUM as of September 30, 2025, was $483.8 billion, an increase of $105.1 billion, or 28%, 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 $40.5 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 months ended September 30, 2025, the USD strengthened against GBP and weakened against EUR and AUD, resulting in a $0.7 billion decrease in our AUM. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the USD weakened against GBP, EUR, and AUD, resulting in an $8.1 billion increase in our AUM. As of September 30, 2025, approximately 23% of our AUM was non-USD-denominated.

Our AUM and flows by capability for the three and nine months ended September 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 weakened against the USD during the three months ended September 30, 2025, and strengthened against the USD during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. Meaningful foreign currency translation impacts to our revenue and operating expenses are discussed below.

Management fees

Management fees increased by $60.3 million and $148.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases were 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):

		Three months ended								Nine months ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2025				2024				2025				2024
Performance fees (in millions):
SICAVs		$	9.9			$	13.8			$	15.7			$	25.8
UK OEICs and unit trusts			—				0.2				6.4				5.8
Hedge funds and other funds			1.4				3.3				1.5				3.3
Segregated mandates			1.2				0.2				0.9				0.9
Investment trusts			—				—				2.4				0.7
U.S. mutual funds			3.3				(8.9	)			0.1				(33.6	)
Total performance fees		$	15.8			$	8.6			$	27.0			$	2.9

Performance fees increased by $7.2 million and $24.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 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 $5.3 million and $11.0 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 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 $2.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an improvement in average AUM, partially offset by a reduction in fee margins driven by product mix shift.

Other revenue increased by $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 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 $28.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to a $15.7 million increase in variable compensation, mainly driven by higher profitability and redundancy expense, an $11.8 million increase in fixed compensation costs, driven by higher average headcount following acquisitions completed in 2024, and $2.9 million in base pay increases. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.3 million due to an increase in the capitalization of internal labor costs related to certain projects. 

Employee compensation and benefits increased by $56.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to a $30.7 million increase in fixed compensation costs, driven by higher average headcount following acquisitions completed in 2024, and a $20.0 million increase in variable compensation, mainly driven by higher profitability and redundancy expense. Additional contributing factors included base pay increases of $8.7 million and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $6.1 million. These increases were partially offset by a $5.5 million reduction resulting from higher capitalization of internal labor costs related to certain projects and a $3.2 million decrease in temporary staffing. 

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 $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $3.6 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 $3.5 million. 

Long-term incentive plan expenses increased by $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due a $5.2 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. This increase was partially offset by a $1.8 million reduction from changes in the estimated performance of certain other long-term incentive awards.

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 $11.9 million for the three months ended September 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 $27.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher average AUM subject to distribution expenses, partially offset by an improvement in distribution fee margins driven by product mix shift.

Investment administration

Investment administration expenses, which represent fund administration and fund accounting, decreased by $0.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. There were no significant movements contributing to the year-over-year variance.

Investment administration expenses increased by $7.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to contractual changes with a third-party vendor.

Marketing

Marketing expenses increased by $2.4 million and $6.5 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases were primarily driven by higher spending on sponsored events and advertising campaigns.

Table of Contents

General, administrative and occupancy

General, administrative and occupancy expenses increased by $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to $6.8 million of accelerated amortization related to the strategic decision in the third quarter of 2025 to transition our investment management platform to Aladdin.

General, administrative and occupancy expenses increased by $27.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to $6.8 million of accelerated amortization related to the strategic decision in the third quarter of 2025 to transition our investment management platform to Aladdin, and 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 include higher market data costs ($4.2 million), rent-related expenses ($2.6 million) and software costs ($2.7 million). The remaining variance was not driven by any individually significant factors. 

Impairment of assets

Asset impairment charges increased by $8.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. Certain capitalized costs were impaired as a result of a strategic decision in the third quarter of 2025 to transition our investment management platform to Aladdin.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $3.9 million and $10.5 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 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.

Income tax provision			(45.0	)			(43.6	)			(124.8	)			(117.8	)

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $1.8 million and $7.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense on the 5.45% Senior Notes, which were issued in the fourth quarter 2024, compared to interest expense on the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2025, which were redeemed in the fourth quarter 2024.

Investment gains, net improved by $20.1 million and $38.3 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 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 (expense), net

Other non-operating income (expense), net increased by $106.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $112.5 million benefit in the year-over-year change in the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities. This gain was partially offset by a $3.9 million unfavorable fair value adjustment on a warrant and a $3.8 million decline in interest income primarily due to lower interest rates on cash balances.   

Other non-operating income (expense), net increased by $92.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $96.0 million benefit in the year-over-year change in the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities, and a $9.2 million favorable fair value adjustment on acquisition-related contingent consideration. These impacts were partially offset by a $6.0 million decrease in interest income, primarily due to lower interest rates on cash balances, and a $3.9 million unfavorable fair value adjustment on a warrant. 

Income tax provision

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

		Three months ended								Nine months ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2025				2024				2025				2024
Effective tax rate			20.0	%			46.6	%			20.6	%			26.6	%

The change in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, was primarily attributable to the absence of certain non-deductible items recognized in the prior year. The 2024 effective tax rate included the impact of the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities, which were treated as non-deductible for tax purposes. The 2025 effective tax rate was further impacted by disallowed noncontrolling interest associated with seeded investment products. 

On July 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes several changes to corporate income tax provisions, including modifications to the capitalization of research and development expenditures, limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, and accelerated depreciation for certain fixed assets. The Company has assessed the income tax effects of the OBBBA and does not expect the enactment of this legislation to have a material impact on its 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 September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions, except per share and operating margin data):

(1) 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 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, 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.

 ​

(2) Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, include acquisition-related expenses, redundancy expense and the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense related to the departure of certain employees. In addition, the three months ended September 30, 2025, includes an adjustment for accelerated amortization related to the strategic decision in the third quarter of 2025 to transition our investment management platform to Aladdin. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations. Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2024, also 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.

 ​

(3) 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.   Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2025, also include the impairment of certain capitalized costs related to the strategic decision in the third quarter of 2025 to transition our investment management platform to Aladdin. JHG management believes this impairment cost is not representative of our ongoing operations.

 ​

(4) Operating margin is operating income divided by revenue.

 ​

(5) Adjusted operating margin is adjusted operating income divided by adjusted revenue.

 ​

(6) Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2025, include fair value adjustments of acquisition-related contingent consideration, warrants and options. The adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2024, includes the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from JHG liquidated entities and a fair value adjustment on options. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

 ​

(7) 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.

 ​

(8) Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2025, include the noncontrolling interest on amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

(9) Diluted earnings per share is net income attributable to JHG common shareholders divided by weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.

 ​

(10) Adjusted diluted earnings per share is adjusted net income attributable to JHG common shareholders divided by weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.

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 September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

		September 30,				December 31,
		2025				2024
Cash and cash equivalents held by the Company		$	982.4			$	1,190.9
Investments held by the Company		$	692.1			$	474.1
Fees and other receivables		$	335.1			$	356.6
Long-term debt		$	395.4			$	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 £155.1 million ($208.8 million), resulting in £301.6 million ($406.0 million) of capital above the requirement as of September 30, 2025, based upon internal calculations, and taking into account the effect of foreseeable dividends. 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 under 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 under 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 September 30, 2025, cumulative shares repurchased under the 2025 Corporate Buyback Program were 2,874,504 for $116.1 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 September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, were as follows:

Dividend			Date		Dividends paid			Date
per share			declared		(in millions)			paid
$	0.39		January 30, 2025		$	61.5		February 27, 2025
$	0.40		April 30, 2025		$	63.8		May 29, 2025
$	0.40		July 30, 2025		$	62.4		August 28, 2025

On October 29, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a $0.40 per share dividend for the third quarter 2025. The quarterly dividend will be paid on November 26, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 10, 2025.

Long-Term Liquidity Considerations

Expected long-term commitments as of September 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 September 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, our credit rating was at or above the threshold established by the Credit Facility, and there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility. Refer to Note 8 — Debt for further information on the Credit Facility.

Operating Activities

Fluctuations in operating cash flows are attributable to changes in net income and working capital items, which can vary from period to period based on the amount and timing of cash receipts and payments.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was as follows (in millions):

		Nine months ended
		September 30,
		2025				2024

Other, net			(15.4	)			(5.6	)
Cash used for investing activities		$	(478.7	)		$	(329.7	)

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.

Financing Activities

 ​

Cash provided by (used for) financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was as follows (in millions):

		Nine months ended

Issuance of long-term debt			—				396.2
Other, net			4.1				(0.3	)
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities		$	(151.3	)		$	194.5

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

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 third quarter 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Common Stock Purchases — Corporate Buyback Program

On May 1, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the 2024 Corporate Buyback Program under 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 under 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. Repurchases under the 2025 Corporate Buyback Program may be effected through a variety of methods, including open market repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (including through the use of trading plans intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act), privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase plans, block purchases or other similar purchase techniques. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the timing and actual number of shares of common stock repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our stock price, general economic, business and market conditions and other relevant factors. There can be no assurance as to the timing or number of shares of any repurchases in the future. As of September 30, 2025, cumulative shares repurchased under the 2025 Corporate Buyback Program were 2,874,504 for $116.1 million. 

Common Stock Purchases — Share Plan Repurchases
