Management Commentary
William J. Stromberg, chief executive officer, commented, “Global stocks rose broadly for a fifth straight quarter following the pandemic-induced declines in Q1 2020. U.S. stocks led the way and the S&P 500 Index closed Q2 at a new all-time high, up 92% from the bear market bottom in March of 2020. Bonds delivered modest gains as interest rates retreated, despite early signs of budding inflation in the U.S.
“With favorable market tailwinds, T. Rowe Price delivered very strong financial results in Q2 2021. Net revenues rose 36.3%, GAAP diluted EPS rose 35.7% to $3.46, and adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS rose 44.5% to $3.31. In addition to our regular Q2 2021 dividend of $1.08 (up 20% year-over-year), we also declared a special cash dividend of $3.00 per share, and repurchased a modest number of shares - less than in recent quarters given the increase in our share price. Our balance sheet remains exceptionally strong.
“Investment performance across our wide range of strategies was solid for the quarter and remains very strong over longer-term time periods of five and ten years. Results of our retirement date products have been particularly strong over all time periods.
“We had modest net outflows of $0.6 billion for Q2. Many investors, including some large subadvised clients, trimmed their holdings of U.S. equities, especially from growth-oriented portfolios after experiencing spectacular returns in recent years. Offsetting this were healthy inflows into our target date suite of products, which benefited from a few large account wins and a return to more typical retirement savings behavior after disruption in 2020. Our EMEA, APAC, and Canada businesses also all experienced positive flows, continuing a recent pattern of growth.
“We also continued to progress our strategic priorities in the quarter:
▪We announced a series of initiatives to support the growth of our target date franchise including a reduction in fees across our funds and trusts, an expansion of our lineup to include Retirement Blend Funds, and a broad marketing campaign emphasizing the breadth of our solutions and our commitment to helping our clients achieve their desired retirement outcomes.
▪We announced a transformation of our retirement recordkeeping business with the expansion of our
30-year partnership with FIS, a global technology leader. This partnership will allow us to quickly add additional features to our clients’ plans while driving long term efficiencies that we expect to reinvest into strategic growth areas across the firm.
▪We continued our commitment to increased disclosure and transparency on environmental, social, and governance issues with the publication of our annual reports on sustainable investing and corporate sustainability.

“As we continue to emerge from the pandemic, we will gradually return to offices around the world at paces consistent with local health authorities’ recommendations. I remain proud of our associates’ dedication to our clients throughout this unique period. And I would especially like to recognize the dedicated work of the associates who will be transitioning to FIS in August. We look forward to continuing to work together in support of our clients.”
Assets Under Management
During Q2 2021, assets under management increased $105.1 billion to $1.62 trillion. Net cash outflows were
$0.6 billion, and clients transferred $9.2 billion in net assets from the U.S. mutual funds primarily to collective investment trusts and other investment products, of which $5.9 billion transferred into the retirement date trusts. The components of the change in assets under management, by vehicle and asset class, are shown in the tables below.

Assets under management in the firm's target date retirement products, which are reported as part of the multi-asset column in the table above, were $379.2 billion at June 30, 2021, compared with $351.6 billion at March 31, 2021 and $332.2 billion at December 31, 2020. Net cash flows into these portfolios were $7.5 billion in Q2 2021 and $12.0 billion in the first half of 2021.

Investors domiciled outside the United States accounted for 9.0% of the firm's assets under management at June 30, 2021, 8.8% at March 31, 2021, and 9.3% at December 31, 2020.
The firm provides participant accounting and plan administration for defined contribution retirement plans that invest in the firm's U.S. mutual funds and collective investment trusts, as well as funds outside of the firm's complex. As of
June 30, 2021, the firm's assets under administration were $263 billion, of which nearly $162 billion are assets we manage.
In recent years, the firm began offering non-discretionary advisory services through model delivery and multi-asset solutions for providers to implement. The firm records the revenue earned on these services in administrative fees. The assets under advisement in these portfolios, predominantly in the United States, were $8 billion at June 30, 2021.
Financial Results
Net revenues earned in Q2 2021 were $1.9 billion, up 36.3% from Q2 2020. Average assets under management in Q2 2021 were $1.59 trillion, an increase of 39.0% from Q2 2020. The firm voluntarily waived money market advisory fees in Q2 2021 of $14.3 million to continue to maintain positive yields for investors. The firm expects to continue to waive fees for all of 2021 and anticipates that the waivers in each of the next two quarters of 2021 will be at similar levels.
▪Investment advisory revenues earned in Q2 2021 from the firm's U.S. mutual funds were $1.1 billion, an increase of 33.3% from Q2 2020. Average assets under management in these funds increased 34.9% to $848.2 billion in Q2 2021 from Q2 2020.
▪Investment advisory revenues earned in Q2 2021 from subadvised funds, separate accounts, collective investment trusts and other investment products were $689.7 million, an increase of 46.5% from Q2 2020. Average assets under management for these products increased 44.1% to $737.1 billion in Q2 2021 from Q2 2020.
▪The annualized effective fee rate of 45.2 basis points in Q2 2021 was down from 45.6 basis points earned in Q2 2020 and from 45.4 basis points earned in Q1 2021. In comparison to Q2 2020, the annualized effective fee rate decreased due to the impact of client transfers to lower fee vehicles or share classes within the complex over the last twelve months and money market fee waivers. Over time, the firm's effective fee rate can be impacted by market or cash flow related shifts among asset and share classes, price changes in existing products, and asset level changes in products with tiered-fee structures.
▪Administrative, distribution, and servicing fees in Q2 2021 were $142.1 million, an increase of 16.9% from Q2 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to higher transfer agent servicing activities provided to the
4

T. Rowe Price mutual funds, higher model delivery revenue, as well as higher 12b-1 revenue earned on the Advisor and R share classes of the U.S. mutual funds as a result of increased assets under management in these share classes.
Operating expenses in Q2 2021 were $971.2 million, an increase of 12.7% compared to Q2 2020. Approximately 50% of the increase in the firm's operating expenses from Q2 2020 was due to higher compensation expenses. The largest drivers of the increased compensation expenses was the higher interim bonus accrual and increased salaries and benefits, partially offset by lower compensation expenses related to the supplemental savings plan. The expense related to the supplemental savings plan was almost entirely offset by the non-operating gains earned on the investments used to economically hedge the related liability. Also contributing to the increase in operating expenses were higher distribution and servicing costs due to higher average assets under management.
On a non-GAAP basis, the firm's operating expenses in Q2 2021 were $931.8 million, an 18.6% increase over
Q2 2020. The firm's non-GAAP operating expenses do not include the impact of the supplemental savings plan and consolidated sponsored products.
▪Compensation and related costs were $603.8 million in Q2 2021, an increase of 10.0% compared to
Q2 2020. This increase was primarily related to a higher interim bonus accrual, which is based on a higher revenue forecast in 2021, and higher salaries and benefits due to a 3.3% increase in our average staff size and modest increases in base salaries at the beginning of the year. These increases were partially offset by a $36.7 million decrease in compensation expense related to the supplemental savings plan, as market returns in Q2 2021 were outpaced by strong market returns in Q2 2020. The firm employed 7,804 associates at June 30, 2021, an increase of 1.6% from the end of 2020 and 3.7% from June 30, 2020.
On August 1, 2021, approximately 800 T. Rowe Price operations and technology associates will become employees of FIS as part of the firm's expanded relationship, in which FIS will provide technology development and core operations for our full-service recordkeeping offering. The transfer of these employees will result in a decrease in compensation and related costs offset by the cost of this relationship, which will be reflected in product and recordkeeping related costs along with the technology, occupancy, and facilities cost lines of the income statement.
▪Distribution and servicing costs were $92.7 million in Q2 2021, an increase of 49.5% from
the $62.0 million recognized in Q2 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher distribution costs as a result of continued inflows and market appreciation in the firm's international products, including the Japanese Investment Trusts (ITMs) and SICAVs. These distribution costs, like those related to certain shares classes of the U.S. mutual funds, are offset entirely in net revenues. For the ITMs and SICAVs, the related revenue is recognized in investment advisory revenues.
5

▪Advertising and promotion expenses were $20.4 million in Q2 2021, an increase of 52.2% from Q2 2020. The increase was primarily driven by the timing of media-related spend related to the launch of a new marketing campaign to promote the firm's target date solutions, along with lower spending in 2020 due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
▪Technology, occupancy, and facility costs were $119.3 million in Q2 2021, an increase of 7.2% from the $111.3 million recognized in Q2 2020. The increase was primarily due to the ongoing investment in the firm's technology capabilities, including hosted solution licenses and depreciation, and higher facility-related costs.
▪General, administrative, and other costs were $91.7 million in Q2 2021, an increase of 6.1% compared with the $86.4 million recognized in Q2 2020. Higher information services, professional fees and research costs contributed to the higher costs in Q2 2021 as compared to Q2 2020. Additionally, travel-related expenses in Q2 2021 were flat in comparison to Q2 2020.
The firm updated its 2021 non-GAAP operating expense growth guidance from a range of 10%-14% to a range of 12%-15% to reflect an increase in the firm's expectations for expenses. This expense growth guidance reflects the impact of the firm's expanded partnership with FIS. The firm could elect to further adjust its expense growth should unforeseen circumstances arise, including significant market movements.
Non-operating income (loss). Non-operating income was $143.9 million in Q2 2021, as compared to
non-operating income of $415.1 million in Q2 2020. The higher non-operating income recognized in Q2 2020 reflected the sharp market recovery following the significant losses experienced at the end of Q1 2020. For Q2 2021, the firm's consolidated investment products and supplemental savings plan hedge portfolio comprised nearly two-thirds of the net gains recognized. The cash and discretionary investment portfolio added net investment gains of $17.8 million during Q2 2021. The components of non-operating income for Q2 2021 and Q2 2020 are included in the tables at the end of this release.

Income taxes. The firm's effective tax rate was 23.5% in Q2 2021 and 24.8% in Q2 2020. The following reconciles the statutory federal income tax rate to the firm's effective tax rate for the second quarter and the first half of 2021 and 2020:

| Three months ended |  |  | Six months ended
| 6/30/2021 |  | 6/30/2020 |  |  | 6/30/2021 |  | 6/30/2020
Statutory U.S. federal income tax rate | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | % |  |  | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | %
State income taxes for current year, net of federal income tax benefits(1) | 3.7 |  |  | 3.7 |  |  |  | 3.7 |  |  | 4.2 |
Net (income) losses attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests(2) | (.1) |  |  | (.3) |  |  |  | (.3) |  |  | .3 |
Net excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation plans activity | (.6) |  |  | (.4) |  |  |  | (.9) |  |  | (1.7) |
Other items | (.5) |  |  | .8 |  |  |  | (.1) |  |  | .1 |
Effective income tax rate | 23.5 | % |  | 24.8 | % |  |  | 23.4 | % |  | 23.9 | %

(1) State income tax benefits are reflected in the total benefits for net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests and stock-based compensation plans activity.
(2) 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 firm's non-GAAP tax rate primarily adjusts for the impact of the consolidated investment products, including the net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests. The firm's non-GAAP effective tax rate was 23.4% for Q2 2021 compared with 24.8% for Q2 2020 and 23.5% for YTD 2021 compared with 23.8% for YTD 2020. The non-GAAP tax rate for Q2 2021 was favorably impacted by the discrete remeasurement of deferred tax assets as a result of an increase in the corporate income tax rate in the United Kingdom. For the YTD 2021 period, the rate was favorably impacted by a lower state effective tax rate, partially offset by lower discrete tax benefits associated with the settlement of stock-based awards as compared to YTD 2020.
The firm continues to see the phased-in benefit of the 2018 Maryland state tax legislation in which we expect to reduce our effective state rate over the five-year phase-in period to less than 3% by the end of 2022.
The firm estimates that its effective tax rate for the full year 2021, on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, will be in the range of 22.5% to 24.5%.

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 that the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products have on the firm's U.S. GAAP consolidated statements of income. Specifically, the firm adds back the operating expenses and subtracts the investment income of the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products. The adjustment to operating expenses represents the operating expenses of the consolidated products, net of the elimination of related management and administrative fees. The adjustment to net income attributable to T. Rowe Price represents the net income of the consolidated products, net of redeemable non-controlling interests. Management believes the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products may impact the reader’s ability to understand the firm's core operating results.
(2) This non-GAAP adjustment removes the compensation expense impact from market valuation changes in the supplemental savings plan liability and the related net gains (losses) on investments designated as an economic hedge against the related liability. Amounts deferred under the supplemental savings plan are adjusted for appreciation (depreciation) of hypothetical investments chosen by participants. The firm uses T. Rowe Price investment products to economically hedge the exposure to these market movements. Management believes it is useful to offset the non-operating investment income (loss) realized on the economic 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 represents the other non-operating income (loss) and the net gains (losses) earned on the firm's non-consolidated investment portfolio that are not designated as economic hedges of the supplemental savings plan liability, and that are not part of the cash and discretionary investment portfolio. Management retains the investment gains recognized on the non-consolidated cash and discretionary investments as these assets and related income (loss) are considered part of the firm's core operations. Management believes adjusting for these non-operating income (loss) items helps the reader’s ability to understand the firm's core operating results and increases comparability to prior years. Additionally, management does not emphasize the impact of the portion of non-operating income (loss) removed when managing and evaluating the firm's performance.
(4) The income tax impacts were calculated in order to achieve an overall year-to-date non-GAAP effective tax rate of 23.5% for 2021 and 23.8% for 2020. As such, the non-GAAP effective tax rate for three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 23.4% and 24.8%, respectively. The firm estimates that its effective tax rate for the full-year 2021 on a non-GAAP basis will be in the range of 22.5% to 24.5%.

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

|  | Three months ended |  |  | Six months ended
|  | 6/30/2021 | 6/30/2020 | 3/31/2021 |  |  | 6/30/2021 | 6/30/2020
Adjusted net income attributable to T. Rowe Price |  | $ | 779.0 |  | $ | 539.6 |  | $ | 712.0 |  |  |  | $ | 1,491.0 |  | $ | 993.9 |
Less: adjusted net income allocated to outstanding restricted stock and stock unit holders |  | 21.3 |  | 15.0 |  | 18.9 |  |  |  | 40.1 |  | 27.4 |
Adjusted net income allocated to common stockholders |  | $ | 757.7 |  | $ | 524.6 |  | $ | 693.1 |  |  |  | $ | 1,450.9 |  | $ | 966.5 |
