| intermediary flows were slightly positive, supported by strong positive flows from several strategies, including the AAA CLO ETF, our mortgage-backed security ETF, and U.S |
| So certainly performance improving helped that, and as you mentioned, we've done a pretty good job at that |
| Investment performance remained solid with the majority of assets ahead of benchmark on a one, three, five, and 10-year basis |
| Janus Henderson continues to get stronger and stronger in a very challenging environment |
| Skipping over Slide 10 and moving to Slide 11 and a look at our liquidity profile, our balance sheet remains very strong |
| Third quarter adjusted operating margin improved to 31% |
| And as you've seen in some of the comments, performance of our numbers, we continue to deliver that very well and clients trust us |
| We've maintained a strong liquidity position and we continue to balance the capital needs and the investment opportunities of the business with returning capital to shareholders |
| The buyback authorization reflects our improved financial outlook compared to where we started the year, better cash flow generation, and a strong and stable balance sheet |
| Our financial results remained solid, better top-line, lower expenses, and non-operating benefits delivered adjusted diluted EPS of $0.64, better than both last quarter and the third quarter of 2022 |
| Our financial performance and strong balance sheet continue to provide us the flexibility to invest in the business both organically and inorganically and return cash to shareholders, which I'll talk more about in a moment |
| or the U.S., that bring a great performance to our client base in the fixed income -- in the fixed-income world |
| has been fantastic and quite a motivation for the rest of the firm as well |
| The reason we're doing that, as Roger mentioned a while ago, is because we've delivered better results than we had anticipated |
| Even with the market downturn in the quarter, Janus Henderson delivered good quarterly results |
| We've also been quite successful actually on the equity side as well |
| Several strategies contributed to positive fixed-income flows, including our fixed-income ETFs which had positive flows of $1.4 billion in the quarter |
| We are very pleased with the progress in the U.S |
| We are encouraged by the steady improvement in the short-term investment performance to go along with our solid longer-term investment performance in fixed income |
| Investment performance compared to peers continues to be competitively strong, with 75%, 60%, 79% and 87% of AUM in the top two Morningstar quartiles over the one, three, five, and 10-year time periods |
| One is Privacore in the private space and one is the emerging market debt business that we brought on board, which continues to grow quite nicely |
| We believe we're certainly building a stronger firm in a very challenging environment |
| Despite the outflows, we're encouraged that U.S |
| Our year-to-date flow results have improved by over $5 billion compared to the same period a year ago, and that we are capturing market share |
| It's great to see that coming through in -- into market share gains and positive flow in, I'd say, what's a difficult environment |
| intermediary is a key initiative under our Protect & Grow strategic pillar, and we're pleased that we had positive flows this quarter |
| And that gives us -- that gives us the fuel to do both, a strong dividend, the buyback, and to Ali's point, continue with looking in M&A opportunities |
| They trust us to deliver both performance and great client service, and so the combination of that has seen a significant increase |
| Our improving financial results and cash flow generation, along with a strong and stable balance sheet have enabled the Board to authorize a share buyback program of up to $150 million to be completed by April 2024 |
| We're pleased with this result, but we will continue to maintain our cost discipline and seek ways to operate our business more efficiently going forward |

| As I said on the previous earnings call, our institutional pipeline needed time to mature and our retail flows continue to be negative |
| Janus Henderson is not unique and the EMEA industry in general has experienced a challenging flow environment with meaningful year-to-date net outflows across most regions |
| Turning to Slide 2, global markets were volatile during the third quarter as headwinds including rising global bond yields due to a higher-for-longer interest rate environment and certain economic outlook, geopolitical unrest, and stubborn inflationary pressures are contributing to challenging market conditions |
| The environment for active equities remained challenging across all regions |
| The quarterly outflows from the EMEA and LATAM regions, as higher interest rates, inflation, and recessionary fears are weighing on flows |
| Third quarter performance fees were negative $16 million driven by U.S |
| Equity flows were negative $2.3 billion in the third quarter compared to breakeven in the prior quarter |
| I think 44% at its peak of shareholders at a certain point, and so clearly that's come down quite significantly |
| mutual fund performance fees of negative $17.5 million |
| Adjusted LTI was down 5% compared to the prior quarter, largely due to mark-to-market on mutual fund awards |
| We all know what happened roughly three years ago from a COVID perspective, which drove quite a significant dislocation in the marketplace |
| Transitions such as these can create uncertainty with flows and how clients react |
| The other item I spoke about was a few pockets of internal transition that will make us a stronger firm for the long-term but could negatively impact our flows in the short-term |
| I mean, I know it has sort of improved on a number of durations, et cetera, but obviously, the three-year performance, which is often viewed as key, has sort of deteriorated quite a bit |
| This includes roughly negative $65 million from U.S |
| And then also on the comp ratio, it's almost the opposite, that you're going to have to have, pretty low comp ratio in the fourth quarter to meet that full-year guidance |
| Assets under management decreased 4% to $308.3 billion |
| Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to those described in the forward-looking statements and risks factors' sections of the company's most recent Form 10-K and other more recent filings made with the SEC |
| Finally, net outflows for the self-directed channel, which includes direct and supermarket investors were $900 million |
| In the multi-asset capability, the balanced strategy, which is the vast majority of assets in this bucket, switched to underperforming the benchmark on a one-year basis, but only by 1 basis point |
