Carried at amortized cost in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosed in this table at fair value. The fair value of the intangible assets is comprised of 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), has a useful life of approximately 4 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 4-10 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 9 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 intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life and have a weighted-average useful life of approximately 6 years. Carried at amortized cost in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosed in this table at fair value. Certain seeded investment products that do not have a readily determinable fair value have been measured at fair value using the NAV as a practical expedient and have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy.

JANUS HENDERSON GROUP PLC

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management of Janus Henderson Group plc (“JHG,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are not required for interim reporting purposes and have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for inclusion in the accompanying financial statements through the issuance date. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation with no effect on our consolidated net income or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” to expand disclosure requirements about specific expense categories within the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for our annual period beginning January 1, 2027, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Adoption of this ASU can either be applied prospectively to consolidated financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 — Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships

Guardian Life Insurance Company of America

On April 8, 2025, JHG announced a strategic partnership with Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (“Guardian”), one of America’s largest life insurers and a provider of employee benefits, whereby JHG will become Guardian’s investment-grade public fixed income asset manager. The partnership is expected to close at the end of the second quarter of 2025.

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 October 1, 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of VPC was $25.5 million. The maximum total contingent consideration per the agreement is $111.4 million.

Table of Contents

The purchase price for the VPC acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the transaction. The goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition is primarily attributable to anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from the transaction. The amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is approximately $130 million. A summary of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this acquisition is as follows:

|  | Fair Value |
Fees and other receivables |  | $ | 20.8 |
Other current assets |  |  | 0.8 |
Property, equipment and software, net |  |  | 2.8 |
Intangible assets, net(1) |  |  | 54.0 |
Goodwill |  |  | 251.3 |
Other non-current assets |  |  | 3.6 |
Accounts payable and other liabilities |  |  | (26.8 | )
Current portion of accrued compensation |  |  | (8.5 | )
Other non-current liabilities |  |  | (4.3 | )
Noncontrolling interest(2) |  |  | (127.3 | )
Total consideration, net of cash acquired |  | $ | 166.4 |

Summary of consideration, net of cash acquired: |  |  |  |
Cash paid |  | $ | 114.0 |
Common stock issued |  |  | 31.1 |
Contingent consideration recorded |  |  | 25.5 |
Cash acquired |  |  | (4.2 | )
Total consideration, net of cash acquired |  | $ | 166.4 |

(1) | 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 intangibles 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 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 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 will join 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 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 and credit default swaps. 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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

|  | Notional value |
|  | March 31, 2025 |  |  | December 31, 2024 |
Futures and contracts for difference |  | $ | 832.0 |  |  | $ | 789.0 |
Credit default swaps |  |  | 135.8 |  |  |  | 148.5 |
Total return swaps |  |  | 97.2 |  |  |  | 69.7 |
Foreign currency forward contracts |  |  | 316.2 |  |  |  | 328.2 |

The derivative instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognized in investment gains (losses), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The changes in fair value of the derivative instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, are summarized as follows (in millions):

|  | Three months ended |

Foreign currency forward contracts and swaps |  |  | 2.2 |  |  |  | 2.7 |
Total gains (losses) from derivative instruments |  | $ | 2.1 |  |  | $ | (12.0 | )

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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the derivative assets and liabilities were insignificant.​

In addition to using derivative instruments to mitigate against market exposure of certain seeded investments, we also engage in short sales of securities to mitigate against market exposure of certain seed investments. As of March 31, 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 (losses), 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 (losses), 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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, is summarized as follows (in millions):

|  | Notional value |
|  | March 31, 2025 |  |  | December 31, 2024 |
Foreign currency forward contracts and swaps |  | $ | 41.8 |  |  | $ | 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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the derivative assets and liabilities were insignificant.

Changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognized in other non-operating income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency remeasurement is also recognized in other non-operating income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the change in fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts and swaps was insignificant.​ ​

​

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Our Level 1 fair value measurements consist mostly of investments held by consolidated and unconsolidated seeded investment products and cash equivalents with quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value level of consolidated investments held by seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of most unconsolidated investments held in seeded investment products is determined by the NAV, which is considered a quoted price in an active market.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Our Level 2 fair value measurements consist mostly of investments held by consolidated investment products and our long-term debt. The fair value level of consolidated investments held by seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of our long-term debt is determined using recent trading activity, which is considered a Level 2 input.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Investments

As of March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows (in millions):

|  | Three months ended |

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 $30.1 million are excluded from the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 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 March 31, 2025, the investments valued at the practical expedient had $10.7 million of associated unfunded commitments.

Note 7 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets

5.450% Senior Notes due 2034 |  | $ | 395.2 |  |  | $ | 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 March 31, 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 $4.8 million at March 31, 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 March 31, 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 can 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 option to extend the term of the Credit Facility on the first anniversary of the agreement. The revised maturity date of the Credit Facility is June 30, 2029. 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 March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants in, and there were no borrowings under, the Credit Facility.

Note 9 — Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

​ |  | Three months ended |
​ |  | March 31, |
​ |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Effective tax rate |  |  | 22.0 | % |  |  | 18.8 | %

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was reduced by the excess tax benefit from equity-based vesting compensation. This is in comparison to the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which included the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities, resulting in benefit to the first quarter of 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $27.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits held for uncertain tax positions.

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 months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2025:

Dividend |  | Date |  | Dividends paid |  | Date
per share |  | declared |  | (in millions) |  | paid

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.

Litigation and Other Regulatory Matters

We are periodically involved in various legal proceedings and other regulatory matters.

​

Sandra Schissler v. Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc., Janus Henderson Advisory Committee, and John and Jane Does 1-30

On September 9, 2022, a class action complaint, captioned Schissler v. Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. Named as defendants are Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc. (“Janus US Holdings”) and the Advisory Committee to the Janus 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”). The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of participants and beneficiaries of the Plan that invested in Janus Henderson funds on or after September 9, 2016. On January 10, 2023, in response to the defendants’ motion to dismiss filed on November 23, 2022, an amended complaint was filed against the same defendants. The amended complaint names two additional plaintiffs, Karly Sissel and Derrick Hittson. As amended, the complaint alleges that for the period September 9, 2016, through September 9, 2022, among other things, the defendants breached fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence by (i) selecting higher-cost Janus Henderson funds over less expensive investment options, (ii) retaining Janus Henderson funds despite their alleged underperformance and (iii) failing to consider actively managed funds outside of Janus Henderson to add as investment options. The amended complaint also alleges that Janus US Holdings failed to monitor the Advisory Committee with respect to the foregoing. The amended complaint seeks various declaratory, equitable and monetary relief in unspecified amounts. On February 9, 2023, the defendants filed an amended motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 13, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an opposition to the amended motion to dismiss. The defendants filed their reply to the plaintiffs’ opposition on March 28, 2023. On September 7, 2023, a magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation, which recommended that the motion to dismiss be granted in part and denied in part. On September 21, 2023, the parties filed objections to the report and recommendation. Briefing on the parties’ objections concluded on October 12, 2023. On January 22, 2024, the district court judge adopted the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and entered an order granting in part and denying in part Janus US Holdings’ motion to dismiss. The parties are currently engaged in discovery. Janus US Holdings believes that it has substantial defenses and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

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.

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. Our strategy is centered on the belief that a combination of relentless focus and disciplined execution across our core business will drive future success as a global active asset manager. Specifically, our strategy lays a strong foundation for sustained organic growth and opportunistic inorganic growth to create value for all of our stakeholders, including clients, shareholders and employees. We serve a diverse clientele worldwide, comprising intermediaries, institutional investors and self-directed clients. To cater to regional needs effectively, we maintain local presence across most markets and provide investment materials tailored to local customs, preferences and languages supported by our global distribution team.

Revenue

Revenue primarily consists of management fees and performance fees. Management fees are generally based on a percentage of the market value of our AUM and are calculated using either the daily, month-end or quarter-end average asset balance in accordance with contractual agreements. Accordingly, fluctuations in the financial markets have a direct effect on our operating results. Additionally, our AUM may outperform or underperform the financial markets and, therefore, may fluctuate in varying degrees from that of the general market.

Performance fees are specified in certain fund and client contracts and are based on investment performance either on an absolute basis or compared to an established index over a specified period of time. These fees are often subject to a high-water mark. Performance fees are recognized at the end of the contractual period (typically monthly, quarterly or annually) if the stated performance criteria are achieved. Certain fund contracts allow for negative performance fees where there is underperformance against the relevant index.

FIRST QUARTER 2025 SUMMARY

First Quarter 2025 Highlights

| ● | We achieved solid investment performance, with 77%, 65% and 73% of our AUM outperforming relevant benchmarks on a three-, five- and 10-year basis, respectively, as of March 31, 2025.

​

| ● | AUM increased to $373.2 billion, up 6% from March 31, 2024.

| ● | First quarter 2025 net inflows of $2.0 billion reflect net inflows in Intermediary and Institutional.

| ● | First quarter 2025 diluted earnings per share was $0.77, or $0.79 on an adjusted basis. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for information on adjusted non-GAAP figures.

​ ​

| ● | We announced a strategic partnership with Guardian in April, which includes JHG managing the $45 billion investment-grade public fixed income asset portfolio.

| ● | On April 30, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a 3% increase in the quarterly cash dividend and declared a $0.40 per share dividend for the first quarter 2025.

​

| ● | On April 30, 2025, our Board of Directors also approved a new share buyback program to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $200 million of our common stock.

| ● | We returned $88.3 million in capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks during the first 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 first quarter 2025 was $621.4 million, an increase of $69.7 million, or 13%, compared to the first quarter 2024. The key driver of the increase was:

​

| ● | An increase of $53.6 million in management fees primarily due to an improvement in average AUM.

​

Total operating expenses for the first quarter 2025 were $467.8 million, an increase of $35.3 million, or 8%, compared to the first quarter 2024. Key drivers of the increase included:

| ● | An increase of $15.7 million in employee compensation and benefits primarily due to an increase in fixed compensation costs due to higher average headcount.

| ● | An increase of $9.7 million in distribution expenses primarily driven by an increase in average AUM.

Operating income for the first quarter 2025 was $153.6 million, an increase of $34.4 million, or 29%, compared to the first quarter 2024. Our operating margin was 24.7% in the first quarter 2025 compared to 21.6% in the first quarter 2024.

Net income attributable to JHG for the first quarter 2025 was $120.7 million, a decrease of $9.4 million, or (7%), compared to the first quarter 2024. In addition to the aforementioned factors affecting revenue and operating expenses, key drivers of the variance included:

​

| ● | A decline of $28.2 million in other non-operating income, net, primarily due to the year-over-year change in the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities, which was a $0.4 million expense in Q1 2025 compared to a $22.0 million benefit in Q1 2024.

| ● | An unfavorable movement of $28.0 million in investment gains (losses), net, partially offset by an improvement of $15.2 million in net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Movements in investment gains (losses), net and net loss (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 March 31, 2025:

Percentage of AUM outperforming benchmark(1) |  | 1 year |  |  | 3 years |  |  | 5 years |  |  | 10 years |
Equities |  |  | 20 | % |  |  | 69 | % |  |  | 49 | % |  |  | 63 | %
Fixed Income |  |  | 89 | % |  |  | 84 | % |  |  | 90 | % |  |  | 87 | %

Alternatives |  |  | 74 | % |  |  | 83 | % |  |  | 100 | % |  |  | 100 | %
Total |  |  | 34 | % |  |  | 77 | % |  |  | 65 | % |  |  | 73 | %

(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 Capital Partners and Victory Park Capital funds, Managed CDOs, Private Equity funds and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Excluded assets represent 4% of AUM for the period ended March 31, 2025.

Assets Under Management

Our AUM as of March 31, 2025, was $373.2 billion, a decrease of $5.5 billion, or (1%), from December 31, 2024, driven primarily by unfavorable market performance of $9.9 billion.

Our non-USD AUM is primarily denominated in GBP, EUR and AUD. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the USD weakened against GBP and EUR, and strengthened against AUD, resulting in a $2.4 billion increase in our AUM. As of March 31, 2025, approximately 27% of our AUM was non-USD-denominated.

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 cost method, the market approach and the income approach, which in many cases leverage unobservable inputs and assumptions, depending on the nature of the investment.

Third-party administrators hold a key role in the collection and validation of prices used in the valuation of the securities. Daily price validation is completed using techniques such as day-on-day tolerance movements, invariant prices, excessive movement checks and intra-vendor tolerance checks. Our data management team performs oversight of this process and completes annual due diligence on the processes of third parties.

In other cases, we and the sub-administrators perform a number of procedures to validate the pricing received from third-party providers. For actively traded equity and fixed income securities, prices are received daily from both a primary and secondary vendor. Prices from the primary and secondary vendors are compared to identify any discrepancies. In the event of a discrepancy, a price challenge may be issued to both vendors. Securities with significant day-to-day price changes require additional research, which may include a review of all news pertaining to the issue and issuer, and any corporate actions. All fixed income prices are reviewed by our fixed income trading desk to incorporate market activity information available to our traders. In the event the traders have received price indications from market makers for a particular issue, this information is transmitted to the pricing vendors.

We leverage the expertise of our fund management teams across the business to cross-invest assets and create value for our clients. Where cross investment occurs, assets and flows are identified, and the duplication is removed.

Results of Operations

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency translation impacts our results of operations. Revenue is impacted by foreign currency translation, but the impact is generally determined by the primary currency of the individual funds. Expenses are also impacted by foreign currency translation, primarily driven by the translation of GBP to USD. The GBP strengthened against the USD during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Meaningful foreign currency translation impacts to our revenue and operating expenses are discussed below.

Total revenue |  | $ | 621.4 |  |  | $ | 551.7 |  |  |  | 13 | %

Management fees

Management fees increased by $53.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an improvement in average AUM.

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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):

​ |  | Three months ended |
​ |  | March 31, |
​ |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Performance fees (in millions): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
SICAVs |  | $ | 0.9 |  |  | $ | 0.2 |
UK OEICs and unit trusts |  |  | 0.1 |  |  |  | — |
Segregated mandates |  |  | (0.3 | ) |  |  | 0.1 |
U.S. mutual funds |  |  | (4.3 | ) |  |  | (13.4 | )
Total performance fees |  | $ | (3.6 | ) |  | $ | (13.1 | )

Performance fees improved by $9.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an improvement in performance of the U.S. mutual funds.

Shareowner servicing fees

Shareowner servicing fees are primarily composed of U.S. mutual fund servicing fees, which are driven by AUM. Shareowner servicing fees increased by $4.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an improvement in average mutual fund AUM.

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 $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no significant movements contributing to the year-over-year variance.

Total operating expenses |  | $ | 467.8 |  |  | $ | 432.5 |  |  |  | 8 | %

Employee compensation and benefits

Employee compensation and benefits increased by $15.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $11.0 million in fixed compensation costs due to higher average headcount, primarily due to acquisitions completed in 2024, $2.9 million in base pay increases, and an increase of $4.9 million in variable compensation, mainly due to higher profitability. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.6 million due to an increase in the capitalization of internal labor costs related to certain projects.

2025 compensation expenses

For the year ending December 31, 2025, we anticipate an adjusted compensation to revenue ratio in the range of 43% to 44%.

Long-term incentive plans

Long-term incentive plan expenses decreased by $6.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to decreases of $4.0 million driven by market depreciation of mutual fund share awards and certain long-term incentive awards, and $2.7 million for the roll-off of vested awards and the forfeiture of awards related to departed employees exceeding the roll-on of new awards and the acceleration of expense related to departed employees.

Distribution expenses

Distribution expenses are paid to financial intermediaries for the distribution and servicing of our retail investment products and are typically calculated based on the amount of the intermediary-sourced AUM. Distribution expenses increased by $9.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an improvement in average AUM subject to distribution expenses.

Investment administration

Investment administration expenses, which represent fund administration and fund accounting, increased by $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to contractual changes with a third-party vendor.

Marketing

Marketing expenses increased by $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no significant movements contributing to the year-over-year variance.

General, administrative and occupancy

General, administrative and occupancy expenses increased by $7.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to increases of $1.7 million in market data costs, $1.5 million in legal and professional fees, and $1.0 million in rent-related expenses.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $3.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets from 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 mid- to 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 and the full-year impact of the consolidation of VPC, TCM, NBK and Tabula.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

​ |  | Three months ended |
​ |  | March 31, |
​ |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Non-operating income and expenses (in millions): |  | ​ |  |  | ​ |

Investment gains (losses), net

The components of investment gains (losses), net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows (in millions):

​ |  | Three months ended |
​ |  | March 31, |
​ |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Investment gains (losses), net (in millions): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Third-party ownership interests in seeded investment products |  |  | (3.3 | ) |  |  | 10.5 |

Other |  |  | (6.3 | ) |  |  | 1.5 |
Investment gains (losses), net |  | $ | (5.5 | ) |  | $ | 22.5 |

Investment gains (losses), net declined by $28.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Movements in investment gains (losses), net are primarily due to the consolidation and deconsolidation of third-party ownership interests in seeded investment products and fair value adjustments in relation to our seeded investment products.

Gains and losses attributable to third-party ownership interests in seeded investment products are noncontrolling interests and are not included in net income attributable to JHG.

Other non-operating income, net

Other non-operating income, net moved unfavorably by $28.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a year-over-year change of $22.4 million in the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities and unfavorable foreign currency revaluation of $1.8 million.

For the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2025, we expect significant foreign currency translation adjustments to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to other non-operating income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income due to the anticipated liquidation of certain non-operating JHG entities. The timing of the reclassifications is uncertain and dependent on the progression of the liquidation process. Our current estimate is $53 million, net, which would unfavorably impact other non-operating income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. However, the reclassifications could be significantly lower or higher than this amount due to the progression of the liquidation process and, to a lesser extent, changes in foreign currency rates. The reclassification activity is not part of our ongoing operations and will not be included in our adjusted results.

Income tax provision

Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

​ |  | Three months ended |
​ |  | March 31, |
​ |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Effective tax rate |  |  | 22.0 | % |  |  | 18.8 | %

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was reduced by the excess tax benefit from equity-based vesting compensation. This is in comparison to the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which included the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from liquidated JHG entities, resulting in benefit to the first quarter of 2024.

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.

(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 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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, include an adjustment related to an employee secondment arrangement with a joint venture. The arrangement is pass-through in nature, and we believe the costs do not represent our ongoing operations. Adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2024, also include acquisition-related expenses, redundancy expense and the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense related to the departure of certain employees. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of 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.

​

(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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, include the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to net income from JHG liquidated entities. The adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2025, also includes fair value adjustments of acquisition-related contingent consideration. 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 March 31, 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, should provide 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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

​ |  | March 31, |  |  | December 31, |
​ |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Cash and cash equivalents held by the Company |  | $ | 1,072.9 |  |  | $ | 1,190.9 |
Investments held by the Company |  | $ | 540.5 |  |  | $ | 474.1 |
Fees and other receivables |  | $ | 285.8 |  |  | $ | 356.6 |
Long-term debt |  | $ | 395.2 |  |  | $ | 395.0 |

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash held at banks, on-demand deposits, investments in money market instruments, highly liquid short-term debt securities and commercial paper with a maturity date of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents exclude cash held by consolidated VIEs and consolidated VREs, and investments exclude noncontrolling interests as these assets are not available for general corporate purposes.

Investments held by us represent seeded investment products (exclusive of noncontrolling interests), investments related to deferred compensation plans and other less significant investments classified as current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that existing cash and cash from operations should be sufficient to satisfy our short-term capital requirements. Expected short-term uses of cash include ordinary operating expenditures, seed capital investments, interest expense, dividend payments, income tax payments and common stock repurchases. We may also use available cash for other general corporate purposes and acquisitions.

Regulatory Capital

We are subject to regulatory oversight by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and other international regulatory bodies. We strive to ensure that we are compliant with our regulatory obligations at all times. Our primary capital requirement relates to the FCA-supervised regulatory group (a sub-group of our company), comprising Janus Henderson (UK) Holdings Limited, all of its subsidiaries and Janus Henderson Investors International Limited (“JHIIL”). JHIIL is included as a connected undertaking to meet the requirements of the Investment Firm Prudential Regime (“IFPR”) for Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID”) investment firms (“MIFIDPRU”). The combined capital requirement is £159.2 million ($205.5 million), resulting in £264.0 million ($340.8 million) of capital above the requirement as of March 31, 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 to which we are 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. As of March 31, 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 a new share buyback program (the 2025 Corporate Buyback Program) to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock at any time prior to the date of our 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Common Stock Purchases — Share Plan Purchases

On May 1, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 5 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. As of March 31, 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 6 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.

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 three months ended March 31, 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

On April 30, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a $0.40 per share dividend for the first quarter 2025. The quarterly dividend will be paid on May 29, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2025.

Long-Term Liquidity Considerations

Expected long-term commitments as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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, 2029.

The Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and bears interest on borrowings outstanding at the relevant interbank offer rate plus a spread.

The Credit Facility contains a financial covenant related to our long-term credit rating and financial leverage. If our long-term credit rating falls below a predefined threshold, our financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x EBITDA. At the latest practicable date before the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants, and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. Refer to Note 8 — Debt for further information on the Credit Facility.

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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was as follows (in millions):

|  | Three months ended |
|  | March 31, |
|  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Purchases of investments by consolidated seeded investment products, net |  | $ | (181.7 | ) |  | $ | (38.1 | )
Purchases of investments, net |  |  | (44.8 | ) |  |  | (9.9 | )
Other, net |  |  | (0.8 | ) |  |  | (6.3 | )
Cash used for investing activities |  | $ | (227.3 | ) |  | $ | (54.3 | )

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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was as follows (in millions):

​ |  | Three months ended |
​ |  | March 31, |
​ |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Third-party capital invested into consolidated seeded investment products, net |  | $ | 170.6 |  |  | $ | 35.2 |
Dividends paid to shareholders |  |  | (61.5 | ) |  |  | (63.2 | )
Purchase of common stock for the share buyback program |  |  | (26.8 | ) |  |  | (81.3 | )
Purchase of common stock for stock-based compensation plans |  |  | (2.6 | ) |  |  | (69.9 | )
Other, net |  |  | (0.1 | ) |  |  | — |
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities |  | $ | 79.6 |  |  | $ | (179.2 | )

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 as part of the 2024 Corporate Buyback Program and for stock-based compensation plans. Third-party capital invested into consolidated seeded investment products, net represents the cash received from third-party investors in a seeded investment product that is consolidated into our group financial statements. When a third-party investor redeems the investment, a cash outflow is disclosed as a distribution.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, information from third-party professionals, as appropriate, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes in our exposure to market risks from that previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2025, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed by us to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rule and forms the information we must disclose in reports that we file with or submit to the SEC. Ali Dibadj, our CEO, and Roger Thompson, our Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in management’s evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Dibadj and Mr. Thompson concluded that as of the date of their evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
