NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PREPARATION.

T. Rowe Price Group Inc. derives its consolidated revenues and net income primarily from investment advisory services that its subsidiaries provide to individual and institutional investors in the T. Rowe Price U.S. mutual funds (“U.S. mutual funds”), subadvised funds, separately managed accounts, collective investment trusts, and other

T. Rowe Price products. The other T. Rowe Price products include open-ended investment products offered to investors outside the U.S., and products offered through variable annuity life insurance plans in the U.S. We also provide certain investment advisory clients with related administrative services, including distribution, mutual fund transfer agent, accounting, and shareholder services; participant recordkeeping and transfer agent services for defined contribution retirement plans; brokerage; trust services; and non-discretionary advisory services through model delivery and other multi-asset solutions for providers to implement.

Investment advisory revenues depend largely on the total value and composition of assets under our management. Accordingly, fluctuations in financial markets and in the composition of assets under management impact our revenues and results of operations.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require the use of estimates and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of our results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Actual results may vary from our estimates.

The unaudited interim financial information contained in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2020 Annual Report.

NEWLY ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE.

We have considered all newly issued accounting guidance that is applicable to our operations and the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated statements, including those we have not yet adopted. We do not believe that any such guidance has or will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Investors that we serve are primarily domiciled in the U.S.; investment advisory clients outside the U.S. account for 8.8%, 9.0% and 9.3% of our assets under management at September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS.

The carrying values of our investments that are not part of the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products are as follows:

(in millions)9/30/202112/31/2020
Investments held at fair value
T. Rowe Price investment products
Discretionary investments$1,610.2$1,647.7
Seed capital236.6169.5

Investment partnerships and other investments2.82.4
U.S. Treasury note1.01.0
Total$3,330.3$3,250.8

The investment partnerships are carried at fair value using net asset value (“NAV”) per share as a practical expedient. Our interests in these partnerships are generally not redeemable and are subject to significant transferability restrictions. The underlying investments of these partnerships have contractual terms through 2029, though we may receive distributions of liquidating assets over a longer term. The investment strategies of these partnerships include growth equity, buyout, venture capital, and real estate.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, net losses on investments included $4.6 million of net unrealized losses related to investments held at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net gains on investments included $83.7 million of net unrealized gains

Page 10

related to investments held at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, net gains on investments included $75.5 million and $53.6 million, respectively, of net unrealized gains related to investments held at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, certain T. Rowe Price investment products in which we provided initial seed capital at the time of formation were deconsolidated, as we no longer had a controlling interest. Depending on our ownership interest, we are now reporting our residual interests in these T. Rowe Price investment products as either an equity method investment or an investment held at fair value. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, certain T. Rowe Price investment products were consolidated, as we regained a controlling interest. The net impact of these changes on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of income as of the dates the portfolios were deconsolidated or reconsolidated is detailed below.

Three months endedNine months ended
(in millions)9/30/20219/30/20209/30/20219/30/2020
Net increase (decrease) in assets of consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products$589.7$(132.2)$(727.6)$(278.4)
Net increase (decrease) in liabilities of consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products$7.1$(4.0)$(17.1)$(7.6)
Net increase (decrease) in redeemable non-controlling interests$531.0$(44.0)$(483.6)$(106.9)
Gains recognized upon deconsolidation$—$—$2.6$.1

The gains or losses recognized upon deconsolidation were the result of reclassifying currency translation adjustments accumulated on certain T. Rowe Price investment products with non-USD functional currencies from accumulated other comprehensive income to non-operating income.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES.

Our investments at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, include interests in variable interest entities that we do not consolidate as we are not deemed the primary beneficiary. Our maximum risk of loss related to our involvement with these entities is as follows:

(in millions)9/30/202112/31/2020
Investment carrying values$193.4$144.7
Unfunded capital commitments9.212.3
Accounts receivable21.713.8
$224.3$170.8

The unfunded capital commitments totaling $9.2 million at September 30, 2021 and $12.3 million at December 31, 2020 relate primarily to the investment partnerships in which we have an existing investment. In addition to such amounts, a percentage of prior distributions may be called under certain circumstances.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.

We determine the fair value of our cash equivalents and investments held at fair value using the following broad levels of inputs as defined by related accounting standards:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar

securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk. These inputs are based on market data

obtained from independent sources.

Level 3 – unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions based on the best information available. We do not

value any investments using Level 3 inputs.

These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with our investments. The following table summarizes our investments that are recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets

Page 11

using fair value measurements determined based on the differing levels of inputs. This table excludes investments held by the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products which are presented separately on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and are detailed in Note 5.

The fair value hierarchy level table above does not include the investment partnerships and other investments for which fair value is estimated using their NAV per share as a practical expedient. The carrying value of these investments as disclosed in Note 3 were $107.8 million at September 30, 2021, and $94.0 million at December 31, 2020.

NOTE 5 – CONSOLIDATED T. ROWE PRICE INVESTMENT PRODUCTS.

The T. Rowe Price investment products that we consolidate in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are generally those products we provided initial seed capital at the time of their formation and have a controlling interest. Our U.S. mutual funds are considered voting interest entities, while those regulated outside the U.S. are considered variable interest entities.

The following table details the net assets of the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products:

(1) Cash and cash equivalents includes $6.0 million at September 30, 2021, and $7.0 million at December 31, 2020, of T. Rowe Price money market mutual funds.

(2) Investments include $44.5 million at September 30, 2021, and $26.9 million at December 31, 2020 of other T. Rowe Price investment products.

Although we can redeem our net interest in these consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products at any time, we cannot directly access or sell the assets held by these products to obtain cash for general operations. Additionally, the assets of these investment products are not available to our general creditors.

Since third party investors in these investment products have no recourse to our credit, our overall risk related to the net assets of consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products is limited to valuation changes associated with our net interest. We, however, are required to recognize the valuation changes associated with all underlying

Page 12

investments held by these products in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and disclose the portion attributable to third party investors as net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests.

The operating results of the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income as follows:

The operating expenses of the consolidated investment products are reflected in general, administrative and other expenses. In preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we eliminated operating expenses of $1.6 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, against the investment advisory and administrative fees earned from these products. Operating expenses eliminated for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were $4.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The net investment income (loss) reflected in non-operating income (loss) includes dividend and interest income as well as realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying securities held by the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products.

Rowe Price investment products, net of dividends received. These cash flows were eliminated in consolidation.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.

We determine the fair value of investments held by consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products using the following broad levels of inputs as defined by related accounting standards:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk. These inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources.

Level 3 – unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions based on the best information available. The value of investments using Level 3 inputs is insignificant.

These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investment holdings. The following table summarizes the investment holdings held by our consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products using fair value measurements determined based on the differing levels of inputs.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses includes liabilities of $36.0 million at September 30, 2021, and $2.5 million at December 31, 2020 for common stock repurchases that settled during the first week of October 2021 and January 2021, respectively.

On June 14, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $3.00 per common share, or $699.8 million, that was paid on July 7, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 25, 2021.

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.

STOCK OPTIONS.

The following table summarizes the status of, and changes in, our stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

OptionsWeighted- average exercise price
Outstanding at December 31, 20204,379,663$71.67
Exercised(1,403,996)$69.20
Outstanding at September 30, 20212,975,667$72.83
Exercisable at September 30, 20212,975,667$72.83

EFFECT OF SPECIAL CASH DIVIDEND.

As a result of the special cash dividend declared by the Board of Directors in June 2021, the anti-dilution provisions of our employee long-term incentive plans and non-employee director plans (collectively, the LTI plans) require an automatic adjustment to neutralize the effect of the special cash dividend. On the special cash dividend’s ex-dividend date (June 24, 2021), the number of shares authorized and the number of stock options outstanding and their exercise price were adjusted resulting in an increase of 50,607 stock options outstanding on the ex-dividend date, and no incremental compensation expense. In the table above, the number of options outstanding at December 31, 2020 was updated to reflect this adjustment.

RESTRICTED SHARES AND STOCK UNITS.

The following table summarizes the status of, and changes in, our nonvested restricted shares and restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

NOTE 8 – EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATIONS.

The following table presents the reconciliation of net income attributable to T. Rowe Price to net income allocated to our common stockholders and the weighted-average shares that are used in calculating the basic and diluted earnings per share on our common stock. Weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution reflects the potential dilution, determined using the treasury stock method, that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised and non-participating stock awards vested. No outstanding stock options had an anti-dilutive impact on the diluted earnings per common share calculation in the periods presented.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.

On February 14, 2017, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., T. Rowe Price Trust Company, current and former members of the management committee, and trustees of the T. Rowe Price U.S. Retirement Program were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The lawsuit alleges breaches of ERISA’s fiduciary duty and prohibited transaction provisions on behalf of a class of all participants and beneficiaries of the T. Rowe Price 401(k) Plan from February 14, 2011, to the time of judgment. The matter has been certified as a class action. The parties have reached an agreement in principle for a settlement, which will be presented to the court for approval. The proposed settlement would not be material to T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.

In addition to the matter discussed above, various claims against us arise in the ordinary course of business, including employment-related claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, the likelihood of an adverse determination in one or more of these pending ordinary course of business claims that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations is remote.

NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company") as of September 30, 2021, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and stockholders’ equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 11, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
