Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"Our first quarter results are solid, with year-over-year improvements in net flows, operating revenues, operating income, and EPS. The new buyback authorization and increase to our dividend reflect our excellent cash flow and our continued commitment to capital return. Our strong balance sheet continues to provide us the flexibility needed to return cash to shareholders and to reinvest in our business both organically and inorganically.

"We are further executing our strategic vision with the previously announced multifaceted, strategic partnership with Guardian, which we believe will amplify several areas of our business. Importantly, the agreement with Guardian demonstrates that we are a destination for the most sophisticated assets in the world, and we plan to continue identifying ways to meet our current and future clients’ needs and support the growth of Janus Henderson.

"As a global firm, the diversity of our AUM, clients, geographies, and investment capabilities forms a broad foundation that helps enable us to manage this uncertain environment effectively. We are focused on providing our clients—and their clients—with our differentiated insights, disciplined investments, and world-class service. Our efforts remain steadfast on what we can control, positioning Janus Henderson to deliver superior outcomes for our clients, employees, shareholders, and other stakeholders."

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS (unaudited) (in US$ millions, except per share data or as noted)

The Company presents its financial results in US$ and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, JHG management evaluates the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations using additional non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate the business, and adjusted values are consistent with internal management reporting. See “Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information” below for additional information.

SHARE REPURCHASE AND DIVIDEND

As part of the Company's Board-approved US$200 million on-market share repurchase program, JHG purchased approximately 0.6 million shares of its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the first quarter, for a total outlay of approximately US$27 million.

On April 30, 2025, the Board declared a dividend of US$0.40 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Shareholders on the register on the record date of May 12, 2025, will be paid the dividend on May 29, 2025. Additionally, on April 30, 2025, the Board authorized a new on-market share repurchase program under which JHG may repurchase, from time to time, up to US$200 million of the Company’s common shares. This share repurchase program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time, but any repurchases under the program must be made prior to the date of JHG’s 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors.

Some JHG executives and employees obtain rights to receive shares of JHG common stock as part of their remuneration arrangements and employee entitlements. In order to satisfy these entitlements in a manner that is not dilutive to shareholders, the Board separately approved the repurchase of up to six million additional shares of common stock for the purpose of making grants to these executives and employees.

AUM AND FLOWS (in US$ billions)

FX reflects movement in AUM resulting from changes in foreign currency rates as non-US$ denominated AUM is translated into US$. Redemptions include impact of client transfers.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

% of AUM outperforming benchmark (as of March 31, 2025)

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. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson.

% of mutual fund AUM in top 2 Morningstar quartiles (as of March 31, 2025)

Includes Janus Investment Fund, Janus Aspen Series, Janus Henderson Detroit Street Trust (ETFs), and Clayton Street Trust (U.S. Trusts), Janus Henderson Capital Funds (Dublin based), Dublin and UK OEIC and Investment Trusts, Luxembourg SICAVs, Australian Managed Investment Schemes, and legacy Tabula ICAVs (legacy Tabula passive ETFs are excluded). The top two Morningstar quartiles represent funds in the top half of their category based on total return. For the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods ending March 31, 2025, 47%, 56%, 52%, and 58% of the 185, 176, 161, and 144 total mutual funds, respectively, were in the top 2 Morningstar quartiles.

Analysis based on "primary" share class (Class I Shares, Institutional Shares, or share class with longest history for U.S. Trusts; Class H Shares or share class with longest history for Dublin based; primary share class as defined by Morningstar for other funds). Performance may vary by share class. Rankings may be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund or share class and are calculated by Morningstar using a methodology that differs from that used by Janus Henderson. Methodology differences may have a material effect on the return and therefore the ranking. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.
