Summary
Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG) reported mixed financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. While total revenue saw a decrease of 7% year-over-year to $429.6 million, driven by a decline in average assets under management and fee rates, the company completed two significant new investments in Veritable, LP and Yacktman Asset Management Co. during the quarter, adding $28 billion in assets under management. Net income attributable to controlling interest experienced a substantial decline of 85% to $6.6 million, largely impacted by a significant increase in intangible amortization and impairment charges, primarily related to a reduction in the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Excluding these valuation adjustments, adjusted net income would present a more favorable picture, indicating resilience in core operations. The company also managed its liquidity effectively, with adequate capacity under its credit facility and a stable leverage ratio. Despite the reported decline in net income, AMG demonstrated strategic growth through new acquisitions and organic growth in assets under management, which increased by 10% to $384.6 billion. The company's focus remains on long-term partnerships with its Affiliates and strategic investments to drive future growth. Investors should note the impact of the intangible asset impairment on current earnings while observing the company's continued commitment to expanding its asset base through strategic acquisitions.
