Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto, which appear elsewhere in this Report. Except for the historical financial information, this Report may include statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” under the United States securities laws. Forward-looking statements include information concerning future results of our operations, expenses, earnings, liquidity, cash flow and capital expenditures, industry or market conditions, assets under management (AUM), geopolitical events and the COVID-19 pandemic and their respective potential impact on the company, acquisitions and divestitures, debt and our ability to obtain additional financing or make payments, regulatory developments, demand for and pricing of our products, the prospects for certain legal contingencies, and other aspects of our business or general economic conditions. In addition, words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” and “would” as well as any other statement that necessarily depends on future events, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. None of this information should be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, historical financial statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, and they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations. We caution investors not to rely unduly on any forward-looking statements and urge you to carefully consider the risks described in this Report and our most recent Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q filed with the SEC.

You may obtain these reports from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update the information in any public disclosure if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate.

Executive Overview

The following executive overview summarizes the significant trends affecting our results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented. This overview and the remainder of this management’s discussion and analysis supplements and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Invesco Ltd. and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report.

The company is an independent investment management firm dedicated to delivering an investment experience that helps people get more out of life. Our comprehensive range of active, passive and alternative investment capabilities has been constructed over many years to help clients achieve their investment objectives. We draw on this comprehensive range of capabilities to provide customized solutions designed to deliver key outcomes aligned to client needs. Invesco benefits from our long-term efforts to ensure a diversified base of AUM. One of Invesco's core strengths, and a key differentiator for the company within the industry, is our broad diversification across client domiciles, asset classes and distribution channels. Our geographic diversification recognizes growth opportunities in different parts of the world. This broad diversification mitigates the impact on Invesco of different market cycles and enables the company to take advantage of growth opportunities in various markets and channels.

Most major financial markets gained ground during the early part of 2023, partially offsetting significant declines experienced last year. However, a heightened level of volatility persists and financial markets reacted with caution in March in response to several regional bank failures. Investors once again sought safety in risk-off assets, and net flows across our industry were pressured further. The table below summarizes returns based on price appreciation/(depreciation) of several major market indices for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Despite the volatile markets in early 2023, our diversified product lineup maintained net long-term inflows in certain key capabilities, notably Fixed Income, the Institutional Channel and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

We remain highly focused on our capital priorities, investing in our key capabilities, and efficiently allocating our resources. Consistent with our commitment to improve our leverage profile, we continue to manage our debt to lower levels. We ended the quarter with no balance on our credit facility and continued to maintain debt below $1.5 billion, the lowest level in over a decade. To increase balance sheet flexibility, we amended and restated the $1.5 billion floating rate credit facility, increasing facility capacity to $2.0 billion and extending the expiration date from April 26, 2026 to April 26, 2028. As a result of our continued progress to build financial flexibility, and in accordance with our commitment to return capital to shareholders, the Board approved a 7% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share beginning with the dividend that will be paid to holders of common shares in the second quarter of 2023.

As previously disclosed, on February 8, 2023 we announced that Martin L. Flanagan will retire as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company and as a member of the Board of Directors effective June 30, 2023. Andrew R. Schlossberg will succeed Mr. Flanagan as President and CEO and as a member of the Board of Directors effective June 30, 2023. Mr. Schlossberg is currently Senior Managing Director and Head of Americas and has served in multiple leadership roles across the company’s businesses and locations since joining the company in 2001. Commencing June 30, 2023, Mr. Flanagan will serve as Chairman Emeritus for the company and, in this new role, will provide advice, guidance and support to the company through December 31, 2024.

Presentation of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Impact of Consolidated Investment Products

The company provides investment management services to, and has transactions with, various retail mutual funds and similar entities, private equity, real estate, fund-of-funds, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and other investment entities sponsored by the company for the investment of client assets in the normal course of business. The company serves as the investment manager, making day-to-day investment decisions concerning the assets of the products. Investment products that are consolidated are referred to in this Form 10-Q (Report) as CIP. The company’s economic risk with respect to each investment in CIP is limited to its equity ownership and any uncollected management and performance fees. See also Note 12, "Consolidated Investment Products," for additional information regarding the impact of the consolidation of managed funds.

The majority of the company’s CIP balances are CLO-related. The collateral assets of the CLOs are held solely to satisfy the obligations of the CLOs. The company has no right to the benefits from, nor does it bear the risks associated with, the collateral assets held by the CLOs, beyond the company’s direct investments in, and management and performance fees generated from, the CLOs. If the company were to liquidate, the collateral assets would not be available to the general creditors of the company, and as a result, the company does not consider them to be company assets. Likewise, the investors in the CLOs have no recourse to the general credit of the company for the notes issued by the CLOs. The company therefore does not consider this debt to be a company liability.

Due to the significant impact that CIP has on the presentation of the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, the company has elected to deconsolidate these products in its non-GAAP disclosures (among other adjustments). See "Schedule of Non-GAAP Information" for additional information regarding these adjustments. The following discussion therefore combines the results presented under U.S. GAAP with the company’s non-GAAP presentation.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains four distinct sections, which follow the AUM discussion:

  • Results of Operations (three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to three months ended March 31, 2022);

  • Schedule of Non-GAAP Information;

  • Balance Sheet Discussion; and

  • Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Summary Operating Information

Wherever a non-GAAP measure is referenced, a disclosure will follow in the narrative or in the note referring the reader to the Schedule of Non-GAAP Information, where additional details regarding the use of the non-GAAP measure by the company are disclosed, along with reconciliations of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures. To further enhance the readability of the Results of Operations section, separate tables for each of the revenue, expense and other income and expenses (non-operating income/expense) sections of the income statement introduce the narrative that follows, providing a section-by-section review of the company’s income statements for the periods presented.

Summary operating information is presented in the table below:

(1) Excludes passive products, closed-end funds, private equity limited partnerships, non-discretionary funds, unit investment trusts (UITs), fund of funds with component funds managed by Invesco, stable value building block funds and collateralized debt obligations. Certain funds and products were excluded from the analysis because of limited benchmark or peer group data. Had these been available, results may have been different. These results are preliminary and subject to revision.

Data as of March 31, 2023. AUM measured in the one, three, five and ten year quartile rankings represents 46%, 46%, 46% and 41% of total Invesco AUM, respectively, and AUM measured versus benchmark on a one, three, five and ten year basis represents 60%, 57%, 56% and 51% of total Invesco AUM. Peer group rankings are sourced from a widely-used third party ranking agency in each fund’s market (e.g., Morningstar, IA, Lipper, eVestment, Mercer, Galaxy, SITCA, Value Research) and asset-weighted in USD. Rankings are as of prior quarter-end for most institutional products and prior month-end for Australian retail funds due to their late release by third parties. Rankings are calculated against all funds in each peer group. Rankings for the primary share class of the most representative fund in each composite are applied to all products within each composite. Performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends. Past performance is not indicative of future results and may not reflect an investor’s experience.

(2) Numbers in parenthesis reflect AUM for each investment product (see Note above for exclusions) as a percentage of the total AUM for the five-year peer group ($680.9 billion).

Assets Under Management

The following presentation and discussion of AUM includes Passive and Active AUM. Passive AUM includes index-based ETFs, UITs, non-management fee earning AUM and other passive mandates. Active AUM is total AUM less Passive AUM.

Non-management fee earning AUM includes non-management fee earning ETFs, UITs and product leverage. The net flows in non-management fee earning AUM can be relatively short-term in nature and, due to the relatively low revenue yield, these can have a significant impact on overall net revenue yield.

The AUM tables and the discussion below refer to certain AUM as long-term. Long-term inflows and the underlying reasons for the movements in this line item include investments from new clients, existing clients adding new accounts/funds or contributions/subscriptions into existing accounts/funds. Long-term outflows reflect client redemptions from accounts/funds and include the return of invested capital on the maturity. We present net flows into money market funds separately because shareholders of those funds typically use them as short-term funding vehicles and because their flows are particularly sensitive to short-term interest rate movements.

Changes in AUM were as follows:

Passive net revenue yield ex QQQ (2)16.718.4

(1) U.S. GAAP gross revenue yield is not considered a meaningful effective fee rate measure. Gross revenue yield on AUM is equal to U.S. GAAP annualized total operating revenues divided by average AUM, excluding Invesco Great Wall Fund Management Company Limited (IGW) AUM. It is appropriate to exclude the average AUM of IGW as the revenues resulting from these AUM are not presented in U.S. GAAP operating revenues. The average AUM for IGW in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $91.0 billion (three months ended March 31, 2022: $99.3 billion). Additionally, the U.S. GAAP gross revenue yield is not a good measure because the numerator of the U.S. GAAP gross revenue yield excludes the management fees earned from CIP; however, the denominator of the measure includes the AUM of these investment products. Net revenue yield metrics include the net revenues and average AUM of IGW and CIP. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for a reconciliation of operating revenues to net revenues.

(2) Performance fees are earned when certain performance metrics are achieved and QQQ ETFs do not earn net revenues. Therefore, net revenue yield is calculated excluding performance fees and QQQ AUM. Passive net revenue yield is calculated excluding QQQ AUM.

Flows

There are numerous drivers of AUM inflows and outflows, including individual investor decisions to change investment preferences, fiduciaries and other gatekeepers making broad asset allocation decisions on behalf of their clients and reallocation of investments within portfolios. We are not a party to these asset allocation decisions, as the company does not generally have access to the underlying investor’s decision-making process, including their risk appetite or liquidity needs.

Market Returns

Market gains and losses include the net change in AUM resulting from changes in market values of the underlying securities from period to period. The table in the “Executive Overview” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations summarizes returns based on price appreciation/(depreciation) of several major market indices for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Foreign Exchange Rates

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we experienced an increase in AUM of $1.9 billion due to changes in foreign exchange rates. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, AUM decreased by $3.9 billion due to foreign exchange rate changes.

The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased operating revenues by $27.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Our revenues are directly influenced by the level and composition of our AUM. Therefore, movements in global capital market levels, net business inflows (or outflows), changes in the mix of investment products between asset classes and geographies may materially affect our revenues from period to period. See the company’s disclosures regarding the changes in AUM during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 in the “Assets Under Management” section above for additional information.

Passive AUM generally earn a lower effective fee rate than active asset classes, and therefore, changes in the mix of AUM have an impact on revenues and net revenue yield. In addition, as a significant proportion of our AUM is based outside of the U.S., changes in foreign exchange rates can result in a change to the mix of U.S. Dollar denominated AUM for AUM denominated in other currencies. As fee rates differ across geographic locations, changes to exchange rates have an impact on revenues and net revenue yields.

Average AUM was $1,463.0 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $1,545.1 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition to the impact of lower AUM, investors continued to shift AUM toward lower yield passive products, such as ETFs, during three months ended March 31, 2023.

Investment Management Fees

Investment management fees were $1,027.9 million for three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $1,180.5 million for three months ended March 31, 2022. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased investment management fees by $24.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. After allowing for foreign exchange movements, investment management fees decreased by $128.6 million as a result of a decline in average AUM and lower revenue yields when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 period.

Service and Distribution Fees

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, service and distribution fees were $334.2 million as compared to $379.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased service and distribution fees by $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. After allowing for foreign exchange movements, service and distribution fees decreased by $41.8 million. The decrease is primarily driven by lower distribution fees of $24.8 million and transfer agency fees of $15.0 million, both of which are the result of lower AUM during the period.

Performance Fees

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, performance fees were $5.6 million as compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Other Revenues

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, other revenues were $50.5 million as compared to $68.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in other revenues was primarily driven by lower real estate transaction fees and front end fees of $15.8 million and $6.7 million, respectively, partially offset by a $6.0 million increase in other revenues.

Invesco Great Wall

The company’s most significant joint venture is our 49% investment in IGW. Management reflects 100% of IGW's results in its net revenues and adjusted operating expenses because it is important to evaluate the contribution that IGW is making to the business. The company’s non-GAAP operating results reflect the economics of these holdings on a basis consistent with the underlying AUM and flows. Adjusted net income is reduced by the amount of earnings attributable to the 51% noncontrolling interests. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for additional disclosures regarding the use of net revenues.

Net revenues from IGW were $100.5 million and average AUM was $91.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (net revenues were $124.1 million and average AUM was $99.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022). The impact of foreign exchange rate movements during the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased net revenues by $7.8 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. After allowing for foreign exchange movements, net revenues from IGW were $108.3 million. The decrease in revenue is a result of lower average AUM and a reduction in net revenue yield due to changes in the mix of AUM.

Management, performance and other fees earned from CIP

Management believes that the consolidation of investment products may impact a reader's analysis of our underlying results of operations and could result in investor confusion or the production of information about the company by analysts or external credit rating agencies that is not reflective of the underlying results of operations and financial condition of the company. Accordingly, management believes that it is appropriate to adjust operating revenues for the impact of CIP in calculating net revenues. As management and performance fees earned by Invesco from the consolidated products are eliminated upon consolidation of the investment products, management believes that it is appropriate to add these operating revenues back in the calculation of net revenues. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for additional disclosures regarding the use of net revenues.

Management and performance fees earned from CIP were $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (three months ended March 31, 2022: $11.5 million).

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, operating expenses decreased by $43.0 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased operating expenses by $25.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Third-Party Distribution, Service and Advisory

Third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses were $455.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $512.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased third-party costs by $6.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. After allowing for foreign exchange rate changes, the decrease in costs was $51.4 million. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $23.6 million in distribution and service fees resulting from lower average AUM as well as decreases of $19.9 million in renewal commissions and $6.7 million in transaction fees.

Employee Compensation

Employee compensation was $462.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $432.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased employee compensation by $12.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. After allowing for foreign exchange rate changes, there was an increase in employee compensation of $42.8 million. This increase was primarily driven by increases of $33.7 million related to mark-to-market gains on deferred compensation

liabilities and costs associated with our previously announced executive retirements and other organizational changes of $13.3 million. We expect to recognize additional costs in the second quarter of approximately $20 million primarily related to executive retirements.

Headcount at March 31, 2023 was 8,561 (March 31, 2022: 8,549).

Marketing

Marketing expenses were $25.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased marketing expenses by $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Property, Office and Technology

Property, office and technology costs were $134.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $132.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased property, office and technology expenses by $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. After allowing for foreign exchange rate movements, the increase was $6.2 million. The increase was driven by higher property and office costs of $5.1 million as a result of overlapping rent associated with the move to our new Atlanta headquarters.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $75.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $102.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased general and administrative expenses by $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. After allowing for foreign exchange rate movements, the decrease was $24.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to $20 million of final recoveries related to losses incurred in previous periods and $9.8 million of indirect tax refunds which were received in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was partially offset by higher travel and market data services costs.

Transaction, Integration and Restructuring

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, transaction, integration and restructuring charges were $41.6 million as compared to $35.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These costs are primarily comprised of compensation-related restructuring costs in connection with our strategic evaluation which we completed during the first quarter of 2023 (see Note 9, "Restructuring," for additional details).

Other Income and Expenses

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $7.3 million to $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $33.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease is primarily driven by a decrease of $6.0 million in our joint venture investment in IGW due to lower revenues.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of a decrease in debt.

Other gains/(losses), net

Other gains/(losses), net was a gain of $27.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to a $45.5 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Included in the gain for the first quarter of 2023 were $22.2 million of gains on investments and instruments held for our deferred compensation plans and $5.3 million of net gains related to the mark-to-market on seed capital investments. Included in the loss for the first quarter of 2022 were $42.9 million of losses on investments and instruments held for our deferred compensation plans and $5.9 million of net losses related to the mark-to-market on seed capital investments, partially offset by $2.4 million of net foreign exchange gains on intercompany loans.

Other income/(expense) of CIP, net

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, other income/(expense) of CIP, net was a net expense of $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (three months ended March 31, 2022: net expense of $23.3 million). Interest and dividend income of CIP increased $65.1 million to $139.6 million (three months ended March 31, 2022: $74.5 million). Interest expense of CIP increased $51.8 million to $94.3 million (three months ended March 31, 2022: $42.5 million). Unrealized gains/(losses) of CIP were net losses of $63.2 million (three months ended March 31, 2022: net losses of $55.3 million). The net losses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were attributable to market-driven losses on investments held by consolidated funds.

Net impact of CIP and related noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities

The consolidation of investment products did not have an impact on net income attributable to Invesco for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. The adjustment to net income for the net income/(loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represents the profit or loss attributable to third-party investors. The impact of any realized or unrealized gains or losses attributable to the interests of third-parties, which is reflected in other income/(expense) of CIP, net, is offset by this adjustment to arrive at net income attributable to Invesco. Also, the net income or loss of CIP is taxed at the investor level, not at the product level; therefore, a tax provision is not reflected in the net impact of CIP.

Additionally, CIP represent less than 1% of the company's AUM. Therefore, the net gains or losses of CIP are not indicative of the performance of the company's aggregate AUM.

Income Tax Expense

The company’s subsidiaries operate in numerous taxing jurisdictions around the world, each with its own statutory tax rate. As a result, the blended statutory tax rate will vary from year to year depending on the mix of the profits and losses from each jurisdiction.

Our effective tax rate increased to 29.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (three months ended March 31, 2022: 25.9%). The rate increase is primarily due to the impact that the increase in the net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in CIP has on the effective tax rate.

Schedule of Non-GAAP Information

We utilize the following non-GAAP performance measures: net revenue (and by calculation, net revenue yield on AUM), adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to Invesco and adjusted diluted EPS. The company believes the adjusted measures provide valuable insight into the company’s ongoing operational performance and assist in comparisons to its competitors. These measures also assist the company’s management with the establishment of operational budgets and forecasts. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are operating revenues (and by calculation, gross revenue yield on AUM), operating income, operating margin, net income attributable to Invesco and diluted EPS. Each of these measures is discussed more fully below.

The following are reconciliations of operating revenues, operating income (and by calculation, operating margin) and net income attributable to Invesco (and by calculation, diluted EPS) on a U.S. GAAP basis to a non-GAAP basis of net revenues, adjusted operating income (and by calculation, adjusted operating margin) and adjusted net income attributable to Invesco (and by calculation, adjusted diluted EPS). These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for any U.S. GAAP measures and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additional reconciling items may be added in the future to these non-GAAP measures if deemed appropriate. The tax effects related to the reconciling items have been calculated based on the tax rate attributable to the jurisdiction to which the transaction relates. Notes to the reconciliations follow the tables.

(1) Invesco Great Wall: The company reflects 100% of IGW in its net revenues and adjusted operating expenses. The company’s non-GAAP operating results reflect the economics of these holdings on a basis consistent with the underlying AUM and flows. Adjusted net income is reduced by the amount of earnings attributable to the 51% noncontrolling interests.

(2) Revenue adjustments: The company calculates net revenues by reducing operating revenues to exclude fees that are passed through to external parties who perform functions on behalf of, and distribute, the company’s managed funds. The net revenue presentation assists in identifying the revenue contribution generated by the company, removing distortions caused by the differing distribution channel fees and allowing for a fair comparison with U.S. peer investment managers and within Invesco’s own investment units. Additionally, management evaluates net revenue yield on AUM, which is equal to net revenues divided by average AUM during the reporting period, as an indicator of the basis point net revenues we receive for each dollar of AUM we manage.

Investment management fees are adjusted by renewal commissions and certain administrative fees. Service and distribution fees are primarily adjusted by distribution fees passed through to broker dealers for certain share classes and pass through fund-related costs. Other revenues are primarily adjusted by transaction fees passed through to third parties.

(3) CIP: See note 12, “Consolidated Investment Products,” for a detailed analysis of the impact to the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the consolidation of CIP. The company believes that the CIP may impact a reader’s analysis of our underlying results of operations and could result in investor confusion or the production of information about the company by analysts or external credit rating agencies that is not reflective of the underlying results of operations and financial condition of the company. Accordingly, the company believes that it is appropriate to adjust operating revenues and operating income for the impact of CIP in calculating the respective net revenues and adjusted operating income.

(4) Transaction, integration and restructuring: The company believes it is useful to adjust for the transaction, integration and restructuring charges in arriving at adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted EPS, as this will aid comparability of our results period to period, and aid comparability with peer companies that may not have similar acquisition and restructuring related charges.

(5) Operating margin is equal to operating income divided by operating revenues.

(6) Adjusted operating margin is equal to adjusted operating income divided by net revenues.

(7) General and administrative: The 2023 adjustment removes insurance recoveries related to fund-related losses incurred in prior periods.

(8) Amortization of intangible assets: The company removes amortization expense related to acquired assets in arriving at adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted EPS, as this will aid comparability of our results period to period, and aid comparability with peer companies that may not have similar acquisition-related charges.

(9) Tax adjustment for amortization of intangible assets and goodwill: The company reflects the tax benefit realized on the tax amortization of goodwill and intangibles in adjusted net income. The company believes it is useful to include this tax benefit in arriving at the adjusted diluted EPS measure.

(10) Market movement on deferred compensation plan liabilities: Certain deferred compensation plan awards involve a return to the employee linked to the appreciation (depreciation) of specified investments. The company hedges economically the exposure to market movements for these investments. Since these plans are hedged economically, the company believes it is useful to reflect the offset ultimately achieved from hedging the market exposure in the calculation of adjusted operating income (and by calculation, adjusted operating margin) and adjusted net income (and by calculation, adjusted diluted EPS) to produce results that will be more comparable period to period.

(11) The effective tax rate on adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. is 24.1% (first quarter 2022: 24.2%).

(12) Adjusted diluted EPS is equal to adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. divided by the weighted average number of common and restricted common shares outstanding.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $345.7 million from $1,234.7 million at December 31, 2022 to $889.0 million at March 31, 2023. See “Cash Flows Discussion” in the following section within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis for additional discussion regarding the movements in cash flows during the period.

Investments

Investments are comprised primarily of the equity method investment in IGW, seed capital and co-investments in affiliated funds, and investments related to the company’s deferred compensation plans.

As of March 31, 2023, the company had $923.7 million in seed capital and co-investments (December 31, 2022: $909.2 million), including direct investments in CIP. Total seed capital and co-investments is presented as a helpful measure for investors and represents our total net investment interest including our investment in CIP. The following table reconciles the investments balance to the total seed capital and co-investment balance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital structure, together with available cash balances, cash flows generated from operations, existing capacity under our credit facility and further capital market activities, if necessary, should provide us with sufficient resources to meet present and future cash needs, including operating, debt and other obligations as they come due and anticipated future capital requirements.

As of March 31, 2023, the balance on the $1.5 billion capacity credit facility was zero. On April 26, 2023, Invesco Ltd. and its indirect subsidiary, Invesco Finance PLC, amended and restated the $1.5 billion floating rate credit facility, increasing facility capacity to $2.0 billion and extending the expiration date from April 26, 2026 to April 26, 2028.

Capital Management

Our capital management priorities have evolved with the growth and success of our business and include, in no particular order of priority: reinvestment in the business, maintaining a strong balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders longer term through a combination of modestly increasing dividends and share repurchases.

Our capital process is executed in a manner consistent with our desire to maintain strong, investment grade credit ratings. As of the date of our filing, Invesco held credit ratings of BBB+/Stable, A3/Stable and A/Stable from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (S&P), Moody’s Investor Services and Fitch Ratings, respectively.

Other Items

Certain of our subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum levels of capital. Such requirements may change from time-to-time as additional guidance is released based on a variety of factors, including balance sheet composition, assessment of risk exposures and governance, and review from regulators. These and other similar provisions of applicable laws and regulations may have the effect of limiting withdrawals of capital, repayment of intercompany loans and payment of dividends by such entities. Our financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected if certain of our subsidiaries are unable to distribute funds to us.

All of our regulated European Union (EU) and U.K. subsidiaries are subject to consolidated capital requirements under applicable EU and U.K. requirements, and we maintain capital within this European sub-group to satisfy these regulations. We meet these requirements in part by holding cash and cash equivalents. This retained cash can be used for general business purposes in the European sub-group in the countries where it is located. Due to the capital restrictions, the ability to transfer cash between certain jurisdictions may be limited. In addition, transfers of cash between international jurisdictions may have adverse tax consequences. We are in compliance with all regulatory minimum net capital requirements. As of March 31, 2023, the company’s minimum regulatory capital requirement was $652.8 million (December 31, 2022: $639.8 million). The total amount of non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents was $669.2 million at March 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022: $755.4 million).

The consolidation of $9,121.5 million and $6,774.3 million of assets and debt of CIP as of March 31, 2023, respectively, did not impact the company’s liquidity and capital resources. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 12, “Consolidated Investment Products,” for additional details.

Cash Flows Discussion

The ability to consistently generate cash flows from operations in excess of dividend payments, common share repurchases, capital expenditures and ongoing operating expenses is one of our company’s fundamental financial strengths. Operations continue to be financed from current earnings and borrowings.

The following table represents a reconciliation of the cash flow information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis to the cash flows information, excluding the impact of the cash flows of CIP for the reasons outlined in footnote 1 to the table:

(1) These tables include non-GAAP presentations. Cash held by CIP is not available for use by Invesco. Additionally, there is no recourse to Invesco for CIP debt. The cash flows of CIP do not form part of the company’s cash flow management processes, nor do they form part of the company’s significant liquidity evaluations and decisions.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows include the receipt of investment management and other fees generated from AUM, offset by operating expenses and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Although some receipts and payments are seasonal, particularly bonus payments which are paid out during the first quarter, in general, after allowing for the change in cash held by CIP and investment activities, our operating cash flows move in the same direction as our operating income.

Cash outflows for the three months ended March 31, 2023, excluding the impact of the consolidation of CIP, included a $168.3 million decrease in operating income, partially offset by net investment sales of $8.2 million, including seed capital and deferred compensation investments (three months ended March 31, 2022: net investment purchases of $12.7 million). Outflows were also driven by changes in payables and receivables due to the timing of payments and receipts, including annual variable compensation payments that are made in the first quarter of each year.

Investing Activities

Cash outflows for the three months ended March 31, 2023, excluding the impact of the consolidation of CIP, included purchases of investments of $55.2 million (three months ended March 31, 2022: $78.1 million purchases), partially offset by proceeds of $28.1 million from sales and returns of capital of investments (three months ended March 31, 2022: $24.5 million proceeds).

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the company had capital expenditures of $38.1 million (three months ended March 31, 2022: $23.9 million). Our capital expenditures related principally to technology initiatives related to investments in foundational technology projects as well as facilities costs related to our move to our new Atlanta headquarters.

Financing Activities

Financing cash outflows during the three months ended March 31, 2023 included $85.7 million of common dividend payments for the dividends declared in January (three months ended March 31, 2022: common dividends paid of $77.8 million), $59.2 million of preferred dividend payments for dividends declared in January (three months ended March 31, 2022: $59.2 million) and the payment of $27.7 million to meet employees’ withholding tax obligations on common share vestings (three months ended March 31, 2022: $32.5 million). The three months ended March 31, 2022 also included purchases of common shares through the open market of $200.0 million.

Dividends

When declared, Invesco pays dividends on a quarterly basis in arrears. Holders of our preferred shares are eligible to receive dividends at an annual rate of 5.9% of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, or $59 per share per annum. The preferred stock dividend is payable quarterly on a non-cumulative basis when, if and as declared by our board of directors. However, if we have not declared and paid or set aside for payment full quarterly dividends on the preferred stock for a particular dividend period, we may not declare or pay dividends on, or redeem, purchase or acquire, our common stock or other junior securities in the next succeeding dividend period. In addition, if we have not declared and paid or set aside for payment quarterly dividends on the preferred stock for six quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, the number of directors of the company will be increased by two and the holders of the preferred shares shall have the right to elect such two additional members of the Board of Directors.

On April 25, 2023, the company announced a first quarter 2023 cash dividend of $0.20 per share, a 7% increase, to holders of common shares, payable on June 2, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 9, 2023 with an ex-dividend date of May 8, 2023.

On April 25, 2023, the company announced a preferred dividend of $14.75 per share to the holders of preferred shares, representing the period from March 1, 2023 through May 31, 2023 The preferred dividend is payable on June 1, 2023 to shareholders of record at close of business on May 15, 2023.

The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, financial condition and capital requirements at the time such declaration and payment are considered. The company has a policy of managing dividends in a prudent fashion, with due consideration given to profit levels, overall debt levels and historical dividend payouts.

Debt

The carrying value of our debt at March 31, 2023 was $1,488.1 million (December 31, 2022: $1,487.6 million). See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 4, “Debt,” for additional disclosures.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the company’s weighted average cost of debt was 4.28% (three months ended March 31, 2022: 3.95%).

Financial covenants under the credit facility agreement include: (i) the quarterly maintenance of an Adjusted debt/Earnings before income tax, depreciation, amortization, interest expense, common share-based compensation expense, unrealized (gains)/losses from investments, net, and unusual or otherwise non-recurring gains and losses (Covenant Adjusted EBITDA) leverage ratio, as defined in the credit facility agreement, of not greater than 3.25:1.00, (ii) an interest coverage ratio (Covenant Adjusted EBITDA/interest payable for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended before the date of determination) of not less than 4.00:1.00. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with our financial covenants. At March 31, 2023, our leverage ratio

was 0.83:1.00 (December 31, 2022: 0.78:1.00), and our interest coverage ratio was 19.42:1.00 (December 31, 2022: 19.51:1.00).

The March 31, 2023 coverage ratio calculations are as follows:

(1) Adjustments for unrealized gains and losses from investments, as defined in our credit facility, may also include non-cash gains and losses on investments to the extent that they do not represent anticipated future cash receipts or expenditures.

(2) Unusual or otherwise non-recurring gains and losses, as defined in our credit facility, are adjusted for in the determination of Covenant Adjusted EBITDA. The insurance recoveries related to the OppenheimerFunds acquisition-related matter are considered unusual and have been removed from the determination of Covenant Adjusted EBITDA.

(3) Covenant Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted debt are non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management in connection with certain debt covenant calculations under our credit agreement. The calculation of Covenant Adjusted EBITDA above (a reconciliation from net income attributable to Invesco Ltd.) is defined by our credit facility agreement, and therefore net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. is the most appropriate GAAP measure from which to reconcile to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA. The calculation of Adjusted debt is defined in our credit facility and equals debt of $1,488.1 million plus $2.7 million in letters of credit less $200.0 million of excess unrestricted cash (cash and cash equivalents less the minimum regulatory capital requirement, not to exceed $200 million).

Credit and Liquidity Risk

The company manages its capital by reviewing annual and projected cash flow forecasts and by monitoring credit, liquidity and market risks, such as interest rate and foreign currency risks (as discussed in Part I, Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk), through measurement and analysis. The company is primarily exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalent deposits, which are held by external firms. The company invests its cash balances in its own institutional money market products, as well as with external high credit-quality financial institutions. These arrangements create exposure to concentrations of credit risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to meet an obligation. All cash and cash equivalent balances are subject to credit risk, as they represent deposits made by the company with external banks and other institutions. As of March 31, 2023, our maximum exposure to credit risk related to our cash and cash equivalent balances is $889.0 million, of which $468.9 million is invested in affiliated money market funds. No more than 10% of our cash and cash equivalent balances is held with any one third-party financial institution. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 2, "Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities," for information regarding cash and cash equivalents invested in affiliated money market funds.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they become due. The company is exposed to liquidity risk through its $1,488.1 million in total debt. The company actively manages liquidity risk by preparing cash flow forecasts for future periods, reviewing them regularly with senior management, maintaining a committed credit facility, scheduling significant gaps between major debt maturities and engaging external financing sources in regular dialogue.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation can impact our organization primarily in two ways. First, inflationary pressures can result in increases in our cost structure, especially to the extent that large expense components such as compensation are impacted. To the degree that these expense increases are not recoverable or cannot be counterbalanced through pricing increases due to the competitive environment, our profitability could be negatively impacted. Secondly, the value of the assets that we manage may be negatively impacted when inflationary expectations result in a rising interest rate environment. A decline in the values of AUM could lead to reduced revenues as management fees are generally calculated based upon the size of AUM.

Common Share Repurchase Plan

The company did not purchase any of its shares in the open market during the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the company repurchased 8.9 million shares in the open market at a cost of $200.0 million. At March 31, 2023, approximately $532.2 million remains available under the share repurchase authorizations approved by the Board on July 22, 2016.

Off Balance Sheet Commitments

See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies - Legal Contingencies”, for more information regarding undrawn capital commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as noted below. Critical accounting policies are those that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and would therefore be deemed the most critical to an understanding of our results of operations and financial condition.

Goodwill

During our annual impairment tests performed as of October 1, 2022 and 2021, management elected to utilize the optional qualitative approach. The results of both impairment tests indicated the fair value of our single reporting unit is substantially in excess of its carrying value. Therefore, a quantitative assessment of goodwill for the reporting unit was not deemed necessary. The company cannot predict the occurrence of future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on the company's AUM or any other material negative change in AUM and related fee rates.

When management utilizes the option to first assess goodwill impairment on a qualitative basis, the sum of certain events and circumstances is assessed to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Such events and circumstances include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the company and/or significant changes in share price. If the qualitative assessment indicates that an impairment may be likely or management elected to not perform the qualitative assessment, management performs a quantitative test to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit is generally determined using an income approach where estimated future cash flows are discounted to arrive at a single present value amount. The income approach includes inputs that require significant management judgment, including AUM growth rates, projected effective fee rates, pre-tax profit margins, effective tax rates and discount rates.

The quantitative test includes assumptions updated for current market conditions, including use of the company's current forecasts for changes in AUM due to market gains or losses, net long-term flows and the corresponding changes in revenue and expenses. Market gains are based upon historical returns of the S&P 500 index, treasury bond returns and treasury bill returns, as applicable to the company's AUM mix on the testing date. The most sensitive of these assumptions are the AUM growth rate,

fee rates, operating expense and the discount rate to determine present value. The discount rates used are estimates of the weighted average cost of capital for the investment management sector reflecting the overall industry risks associated with future cash flows and have been calculated consistently from period to period. While the company believes all assumptions utilized in our assessment are reasonable and appropriate, changes in these estimates could produce different fair value amounts and therefore different goodwill impairment assessments.
