Earnings jump as T. Rowe Price (NASDAQ: TROW) hits $1.9T in AUM

6 terms
capital allocation-based income financial
"Capital allocation-based income represents the change in accrued carried interest."
carried interest financial
"The changes in accrued carried interest from Q2 2026 and Q1 2026 were primarily driven by weaker relative performance in related credit strategies."
Carried interest is a share of the profits earned by investment managers from the investments they oversee, serving as their reward for successful performance. It functions like a bonus that motivates managers to maximize returns for investors, similar to earning a commission based on performance. This income is often taxed at a lower rate than regular income, making it a significant aspect of investment compensation.
investment advisory annualized effective fee rate financial
"The investment advisory annualized effective fee rate, excluding performance-based fees, of 38.1 basis points in Q2 2026 decreased from 39.6 basis points earned in Q2 2025."
non-operating income (loss) financial
"On an adjusted basis, non-operating income (loss) consists of investment gains and losses generated from the firm's cash and discretionary investment portfolio."
redeemable non-controlling interests financial
"Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest represents the portion of earnings held in the firm's consolidated investment products."
Redeemable non-controlling interests are ownership stakes in a company’s unit held by outside investors that can be forced to be bought back by the parent company for cash or a set value. Think of it like a part-owner who has the contractual right to ‘cash out’ their share; for investors this matters because it can create a future cash obligation, change reported equity versus debt, and affect earnings and ownership percentages.
restructuring charge financial
"Restructuring charge in Q2 2026 of $6.7 million relates to actions taken under the previously announced broad and ongoing expense management program."
A restructuring charge is a one-time accounting expense a company records when it reorganizes operations—like closing facilities, laying off staff, or writing down assets—to make the business leaner or change strategy. Think of it as the short-term cost of renovating a house to lower future bills: it reduces reported profit and may use cash now, but investors watch it to judge whether the cleanup will improve future profitability or hide ongoing problems.

(1) The Capital allocation-based income represents the change in accrued carried interest. The percentage change is not meaningful (n/m).
Net revenues in Q2 2026 were $1.9 billion, an increase of 10.7% from Q2 2025 and 2.7% from Q1 2026. Performance-based fees earned in all periods were primarily in alternatives strategies.
▪The investment advisory annualized effective fee rate, excluding performance-based fees, of 38.1 basis points in Q2 2026 decreased from 39.6 basis points earned in Q2 2025 and 38.4 basis points earned in Q1 2026. In comparison to prior periods, client flows and transfers drove a mix shift in assets under management toward lower fee products and asset classes, partially offset by market appreciation.
▪Capital allocation-based income impacted net revenues as follows:
| Three months ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (in millions) | 6/30/2026 | 6/30/2025 | Change | 3/31/2026 | Change | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Change in accrued carried interest | $ | 15.2 | $ | 36.5 | $ | (21.3) | $ | 31.3 | $ | (16.1) | |||||||||||||||||||
| Acquisition-related amortization and impairments | (3.3) | (36.9) | 33.6 | (3.2) | (0.1) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Capital allocation-based income | $ | 11.9 | $ | (0.4) | $ | 12.3 | $ | 28.1 | $ | (16.2) | |||||||||||||||||||
The changes in accrued carried interest from Q2 2026 and Q1 2026 were primarily driven by weaker relative performance in related credit strategies. The Q2 2026 period also included carried interest related to the late stage venture fund. The decrease in acquisition-related amortization and impairments from Q2 2025 primarily reflects impairments recognized in Q2 2025 that did not recur in Q2 2026. A portion of capital allocation-based income is passed through as compensation, with unpaid amounts reported as non-

controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet. For detail on the quarterly changes in accrued carried interest, which was reported as part of investments on the consolidated balance sheet, and related non-controlling interest, refer to the tables at the end of this release.
▪Administrative, distribution, servicing, and other fees in Q2 2026 were $144.2 million, a decrease of $5.5 million from Q2 2025 and an increase of $5.8 million from Q1 2026. The decrease from Q2 2025 primarily reflects the reporting change implemented in Q3 2025, in which revenue earned from managed account - model delivery assets and certain other advisory services began being reported within investment advisory fees. Excluding the impact of this reporting change, administrative, distribution, servicing, and other fees would have increased from Q2 2025, primarily due to the timing of cost reimbursements from the firm's U.S. mutual funds. The increase from Q1 2026 was also primarily driven by the timing of these cost reimbursements.

(1) n/m - the percentage change is not meaningful.
(2) Capital allocation-based income compensation represents the change in accrued carried interest compensation along with acquisition-related, non-cash amortization and impairments.
(3) In Q1 2026, we began reporting technology-related professional fees and servicing costs from general, administrative, and other costs to technology, occupancy, and facilities costs to better align with the nature of the expenses following the outsourcing and expansion of the firm's technology capabilities through trusted vendor partnerships. Prior periods were recast to reflect this change. Amounts reclassified were $15.5M for Q2 2025.

Operating expenses were $1,366.9 million, an increase of 9.8% from Q2 2025 and 16.2% from Q1 2026. Adjusted operating expenses in Q2 2026 were $1,203.2 million, an increase of 4.9% from Q2 2025 and 4.2% from Q1 2026.
▪Compensation, benefits, and related costs in Q2 2026 of $675.9 million increased $27.1 million from Q2 2025 and $20.8 million from Q1 2026. The increases from prior periods were primarily due to a higher

interim bonus accrual partially offset by lower salaries and related benefits. Lower costs related to long-term incentive compensation further offset the increase compared to Q1 2026. The firm employed 7,544 associates as of June 30, 2026, a decrease of 6.4% from 8,063 associates as of June 30, 2025, and an increase of 0.5% from 7,507 associates as of March 31, 2026.
▪Distribution and servicing costs in Q2 2026 of $106.1 million increased $13.6 million from Q2 2025 and $6.8 million from Q1 2026. The increases from prior periods were primarily driven by higher average assets under management distributed through third-party intermediaries.
▪Advertising and promotion expenses in Q2 2026 of $20.3 million decreased $9.6 million from Q2 2025 and increased $1.9 million from Q1 2026. The decrease from Q2 2025 was primarily driven by reduced media spend and agency costs.
▪Product and recordkeeping related costs in Q2 2026 of $83.1 million increased $8.3 million from Q2 2025 and $8.8 million from Q1 2026. The increases from prior periods were primarily due to the timing of costs reimbursed by the firm's U.S. mutual funds. The offsetting reimbursement is recognized in administrative, distribution, servicing, and other fees revenue.
▪Technology, occupancy, and facility costs in Q2 2026 of $205.9 million increased $10.9 million from Q2 2025 and $1.5 million from Q1 2026. The increase from Q2 2025 was primarily due to higher technology costs, including hosted solutions, cloud services, and depreciation, and the firm's decision in the prior year to outsource certain technology capabilities.
▪General, administrative, and other costs in Q2 2026 of $104.9 million increased $11.0 million from Q2 2025 and $12.5 million from Q1 2026. The increases from prior periods were primarily due to higher travel and certain non-recurring administrative costs.
▪Restructuring charge in Q2 2026 of $6.7 million relates to actions taken under the previously announced broad and ongoing expense management program, which will allow the firm to reduce expense growth and realign resources to support investment in existing and future capabilities. The charge reflects compensation‑related costs, primarily severance.

On an adjusted basis, non-operating income (loss) consists of investment gains and losses generated from the firm's cash and discretionary investment portfolio. Lower investment gains during Q2 2026 compared to the 2025 period was primarily due to portfolio rebalancing result in less equity exposure in discretionary investments. Compared to Q1 2026, results increased due to stronger market returns and higher cash and discretionary investment balances.

Income taxes
The following reconciles the statutory federal income tax rate to the firm's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
| Six months ended | |||||||||||
| 6/30/2026 | 6/30/2025 | ||||||||||
| Statutory U.S. federal income tax rate | 21.0 | % | 21.0 | % | |||||||

| Effective income tax rate | 23.5 | % | 23.1 | % | |||||||
| Adjusted effective income tax rate | 24.1 | % | 24.0 | % | |||||||
(1) Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest represents the portion of earnings held in the firm's consolidated investment products, which are not taxable to the firm despite being included in pre-tax income.
The year-to-date 2026 U.S. GAAP increased compared to 2025 primarily due to net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests. The adjusted effective tax rate remained consistent with the prior year.
The firm estimates that its effective tax rate for the full year 2026, on a U.S. GAAP and adjusted based, will be in the range of 23.0% to 26.0%.

Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliation
The firm believes the non-GAAP financial measures below provide relevant and meaningful information to investors about its core operating results. These measures have been established in order to increase transparency for the purpose of evaluating the firm's core business, for comparing current results with prior period results, and to enable more appropriate comparison with industry peers. However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be calculated differently by other companies.

(1) These non-GAAP adjustments remove the impact of acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets, amortization of acquired investment and non-controlling interest basis differences and amortization of compensation-related arrangements. The firm believes adjusting for these charges helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability period to period.
(2) This non-GAAP adjustment eliminates the compensation expense impact from market valuation changes in deferred compensation liabilities, including the supplemental savings plan and restricted fund units, and the related net gains (losses) on investments used as economic hedges against the related liabilities. The liabilities are adjusted based on the performance of hypothetical investments selected by participants. The firm uses investment products to economically hedge the market risk associated with the supplemental savings plan liability and the expected settlement value of unvested restricted fund units. The firm believes it is useful to offset the non-operating investment income (loss) of the hedges against the related compensation expense and remove the net impact to help the reader's ability to understand the firm's core operating results and to increase comparability period to period.
(3) This non‑GAAP adjustment removes the impact of actions taken as part of the firm’s broad, ongoing plan to reduce expense growth and realign resources to support existing and future capabilities.The firm believes this adjustment helps the reader’s ability to understand the firm's core operating results and increases comparability period to period.
(4) This non-GAAP adjustment removes the impact of the consolidated investment products by adding back their operating expenses and subtracting their investment income. The operating expense adjustment represents their operating expenses net of related investment advisory and administrative fees. The adjustment to net income attributable to T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. represents the consolidated investment products' net income, net of redeemable non-controlling interests. The firm believes this adjustment helps the reader’s ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability period to period.
(5) This non-GAAP adjustment removes non-operating income (loss) earned on those investments that are not economic hedges for the deferred compensation liabilities and are not part of the cash and discretionary investment portfolio. The firm retain gains from cash and discretionary investments in our non-GAAP measures, as they are considered part of our core operations. The firm believes adjusting for the remaining non-operating income (loss) helps the reader’s ability to understand the firm's core operating results and increases comparability period to period. Additionally, the firm does not emphasize this portion of non-operating income (loss) when assessing the firm's performance.
(6) The income tax impacts were calculated in order to achieve an overall year-to-date non-GAAP effective tax rate of 24.1% in 2026 and 24.0% in 2025. As such, the non-GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 24.4% and 23.4%, respectively.

(7) This non-GAAP measure was calculated by applying the two-class method to adjusted net income attributable to T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. and dividing by the weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution. The calculation of adjusted net income allocated to common stockholders is as follows:
