Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. Reports 3Q25 Results and Quarterly Dividend
Milwaukee, WI - October 28, 2025 - Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM) (the “Company” or “Artisan Partners”) today reported its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and declared a quarterly dividend.
Chief Executive Officer Jason Gottlieb said: "Third quarter results reflect our ability to grow earnings thoughtfully as a result of our scalable operating and financial model. Revenues increased 7% from last quarter driven by favorable market conditions. Our operating margin benefited from higher revenues and disciplined fixed expense management, improving meaningfully to 34% or 36% on an adjusted basis.
"Our purpose is to generate and compound wealth for our clients over the long term. We seek compelling, long-term absolute and relative returns with integrity to a stated investment philosophy and process. We differentiate through the combination of unique investment talent, our talent-centric operating model, and investment opportunity sets conducive to dispersion and alpha.
"Over the long-term, we have successfully executed on our stated purpose, with all 12 of our strategies with track records over 10 years outperforming their indexes since inception and compounding capital at average annual rates from 5.7% to 13.4% since inception, net of fees. This long-term investment performance has led to steady business growth, culminating in quarter end AUM of $181.3 billion, our highest ever quarter-end AUM.
"Our more recent performance highlights the global and multi-asset class nature of the Artisan Partners platform, which is diversified across autonomous investment teams, asset classes, geographies, and investment styles. Strategies delivering exceptional performance, net of fees, near-term include:
| | | | | | | | |
| Strategy | YTD Absolute Performance | YTD Value-Added |
| Sustainable Emerging Markets | 36.87% | 9.34% |
| Non-U.S. Growth | 33.74% | 8.59% |
| Global Value | 24.77% | 6.33% |
| Franchise | 22.69% | 4.25% |
| Antero Peak | 20.75% | 5.92% |
| Emerging Markets Local Opportunities | 19.14% | 3.73% |
| Credit Opportunities | 8.46% | 5.12% |
| Global Unconstrained | 8.28% | 5.11% |
"While we experienced $2.3 billion of net outflows in the quarter, business-development momentum is improving for several of our strategies. Year-to-date, we have raised $1 billion across our five emerging markets-oriented strategies (two equity, two credit, one alternative). We have raised $531 million and $420 million, respectively, for our Select Equity and International Explorer strategies, both of which are approaching $1 billion in AUM five years from launch. And our Credit team continues to execute with business and commercial performance, raising a net of $1.4 billion across High Income, Floating Rate, Credit Opportunities, and custom mandates.
"We are capitalizing on the resurgence of interest in emerging markets. The Sustainable Emerging Markets team is raising assets at a healthy pace, and Chief Investment Officer (CIO magazine) recently selected the Developing World team as the winner of its 2025 Industry Innovation Award in the emerging markets category. Our Global Equity and Global Value teams are experiencing renewed and growing interest in their strategies. We continue to grow and diversify the Credit team’s business across investment strategies, business channels, and vehicles. And our focused efforts to grow the Artisan Global Unconstrained Fund are working. We have raised an average of more than $1 million per day in 2025 and are approaching $500 million in fund assets.
"We are actively engaged with external talent interested in joining the Artisan Partners platform. We will add new capabilities, especially in alternatives, and further diversify and grow the business through long-term relationships with passionate and knowledgeable investors. We believe the combination of our global multi-asset investment platform and our relationships in the institutional and intermediated wealth channels are attractive to external talent and create multiple options for long-term growth."

Capital Management & Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents were $300.2 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $201.2 million at December 31, 2024. During the September 30, 2025 quarter, the Company paid a variable quarterly dividend of $0.73 per share of Class A common stock with respect to the June 2025 quarter. The Company had total borrowings of $190.0 million and $200.0 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
On August 15, 2025, Artisan Partners Holdings LP issued $50 million of 5.43% Series G Senior Notes and used the proceeds, along with cash on hand, to repay the $60 million of 4.29% Series D Senior Notes that matured on August 16, 2025.
Total stockholders’ equity was $440.9 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $422.0 million at December 31, 2024. The Company had 70.5 million Class A common shares outstanding at September 30, 2025. The Company’s debt leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with its loan agreements, was 0.4x at September 30, 2025.
Effect of Changes In Tax Law
The Company recorded a non-cash income tax charge of $10.7 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, in the September 2025 quarter in connection with the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The charge resulted from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets due to new compensation deduction limitation rules effective for the Company starting in 2027. Adjusted net income excludes the impact of the non-cash charge. We estimate that our GAAP and adjusted effective tax rates will increase 1% to 3% beginning in 2027, as a result of the compensation deduction limitations.
Dividend
The Company’s board of directors declared a variable quarterly dividend of $0.88 per share of Class A common stock with respect to the September 2025 quarter. The variable quarterly dividend represents approximately 80% of the cash generated in the September 2025 quarter and will be paid on November 28, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2025. Based on our projections and subject to change, we expect some portion of the 2025 dividend payments to constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.
Subject to board approval each quarter, we currently expect to pay a quarterly dividend of approximately 80% of the cash the Company generates each quarter from operations. We expect cash generation will generally equal adjusted net income plus long-term incentive compensation expense, less cash reserved for future franchise capital awards, with additional adjustments made for certain other sources and uses of cash, including capital expenditures. After the end of the year, our board will consider payment of a special dividend from the 20% withheld each quarter plus any discrete sources and uses of cash throughout the year, including gains realized upon seed capital redemptions and investments redeemed in connection with forfeited franchise capital awards.

Forward-Looking Statements and Other Disclosures
Certain statements in this release, and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future events and our future performance, as well as management’s current expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. These forward-looking statements are only predictions based on current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and there are important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance, actions or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance, actions or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include: the loss of key investment professionals or senior management, adverse market or economic conditions for whatever reason, poor performance of our investment strategies, change in the legislative and regulatory environment in which we operate, operational or technical errors or other matters that cause damage to our reputation, and other factors disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors listed under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025, as such factors may be updated from time to time. Our periodic and current reports are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this release.
Assets Under Management (AUM) refers to the assets of pooled vehicles and separate accounts to which Artisan Partners provides services. Artisan Partners’ AUM as reported here includes assets for certain strategies for which Artisan Partners provides non-discretionary model portfolios to managed account sponsors, for which we earn only investment-related service fees. Such non-discretionary assets are reported on a lag not exceeding one quarter and represented $114 million, $115 million, and $98 million in aggregate as of September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively. Artisan's definition of AUM is not based on any definition of Assets Under Management contained in the ADV or in any of Artisan's fund management agreements.
Results for any investment strategy described herein, and for different investment products within a strategy, are affected by numerous factors, including different material market or economic conditions; different investment management fee rates, brokerage commissions and other expenses; and the reinvestment of dividends or other earnings. The returns for any strategy may be positive or negative, and past performance does not guarantee future results. In these materials we present relative performance, sourced from Artisan Partners, MSCI, S&P, JP Morgan and ICE BofA. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance shown.
Unless otherwise noted, composite returns have been presented gross of investment advisory fees applied to client accounts, but include applicable trade commissions and transaction costs. Management fees, when reflected, would reduce the results presented for an investor in an account managed within a composite. Net-of-fees composite returns presented in these materials were calculated using the highest model investment advisory fees applicable to portfolios within the composite. Fees may be higher for certain pooled vehicles, and the composite may include accounts with performance-based fees. Index returns do not reflect the payment of fees and expenses. Certain Artisan composite returns may be represented by a single account.
In these materials, we present Value Added, which is the difference between an Artisan strategy's average annual return and the return of its respective benchmark. We may also present Excess Returns (alpha), which are an estimate of the amount in dollars by which Artisan's investment strategies have outperformed or underperformed their respective benchmark. Excess Returns are calculated by (i) multiplying a strategy's beginning-of-year AUM by the difference between the returns (in basis points) of the strategy (gross of fees, unless otherwise indicated) and the benchmark for the ensuing year and (ii) summing all strategies' Excess Returns for each year calculated. Market Returns include all changes in AUM not included in Excess Returns, client cash flows and Artisan Funds distributions not reinvested. The benchmark used for purposes of presenting a strategy’s performance and calculating Value Added and Excess Returns is generally the market index most commonly used by our clients to compare the performance of the relevant strategy. For certain strategies that are managed for absolute return, the benchmark used for purposes of presenting a strategy’s performance and calculating Value Added and Excess Returns is the index used by the Company’s management to evaluate the performance of the strategy. YTD Relative performance as presented in these materials compares the performance of a strategy's composite to its respective index.
In this material we present award information from Chief Investment Officer (CIO). Since 2010, CIO, a division of ISS Market Intelligence, has been recognizing institutional asset owners and the asset managers and providers that serve them with its annual Industry
Innovation Awards. There is no fee to apply for an award. A fee is paid for logo rights. Winners are selected by CIO Editorial staff based on responses to a questionnaire used to determine the applicant's industry leadership and whether they have developed or introduced an innovative product, service or strategy within the past 18 months.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company’s management uses non-GAAP measures (referred to as “adjusted” measures) of net income to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of the underlying operations of the business and as a factor when considering net income available for distributions and dividends. These adjusted measures remove the impact of (1) net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements (if any), (2) compensation expense (reversal) related to market valuation changes in compensation plans, (3) net investment gain (loss) of investment products, (4) non-recurring expenses, and (5) the adjustment to deferred taxes as a result of the OBBBA enactment. These adjusted measures also remove the non-operational complexities of the Company’s structure by adding back noncontrolling interests and assuming all income of Artisan Partners Holdings is allocated to APAM. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to analyze the Company’s profitability and efficiency between periods and over time. The Company has included these non-GAAP measures to provide investors with the same financial metrics used by management to manage the Company.
Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. The Company’s non-GAAP measures are as follows:
•Adjusted net income represents net income excluding the impact of (1) net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements (if any), (2) compensation expense (reversal) related to market valuation changes in compensation plans, (3) net investment gain (loss) of investment products, (4) non-recurring expenses, and (5) the adjustment to deferred taxes as a result of the OBBBA enactment. Adjusted net income also reflects income taxes assuming the vesting of all unvested Class A share-based awards and as if all outstanding limited partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings had been exchanged for Class A common stock of APAM on a one-for-one basis. Assuming full vesting and exchange, all income of Artisan Partners Holdings is treated as if it were allocated to APAM, and the adjusted provision for income taxes represents an estimate of income tax expense at an effective rate reflecting APAM's current federal, state and local income statutory tax rates. The adjusted tax rate was 24.7% for all periods presented.
•Adjusted net income per adjusted share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by adjusted shares. The number of adjusted shares is derived by assuming the vesting of all unvested Class A share-based awards and the exchange of all outstanding limited partnership units of Artisan Partners Holdings for Class A common stock of APAM on a one-for-one basis.
•Adjusted operating income represents the operating income of the consolidated company excluding compensation expense related to market valuation changes in compensation plans and non-recurring expenses.
•Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by total revenues.
•Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense.
Net gain (loss) on the tax receivable agreements represents the income (expense) associated with the change in estimate of amounts payable under the tax receivable agreements entered into in connection with APAM’s initial public offering and related reorganization.
Compensation expense (reversal) related to market valuation changes in compensation plans represents the expense (income) associated with the change in the long-term incentive award liability resulting from investment returns of the underlying investment products. Because the compensation expense impact of the investment market exposure is economically hedged, management believes it is useful to reflect the expected net income offset in the calculation of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, and adjusted EBITDA. The related investment gain (loss) on the underlying investments is included in the adjustment for net investment gain (loss) of investment products.
Net investment gain (loss) of investment products represents the non-operating income (expense) related to the Company’s investments, in both consolidated sponsored investment products and nonconsolidated sponsored investment products, including investments in sponsored investment products held to economically hedge compensation plans. Excluding these non-operating market gains or losses on investments provides greater transparency to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of the underlying operations of the business. Interest income generated on cash and cash equivalents is considered part of normal operations, and therefore, is not excluded from adjusted net income.
Non-recurring expenses represents non-recurring professional fees that are not reflective of core operations.

1 We measure the results of our “composites”, which represent the aggregate performance of all discretionary client accounts, including pooled investment vehicles, invested in the same strategy except those accounts with respect to which we believe client-imposed restrictions may have a material impact on portfolio construction and those accounts managed in a currency other than U.S. dollars (the results of these accounts, which represented approximately 16% of our assets under management at September 30, 2025, are maintained in separate composites, which are not presented in these materials). Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.
2 AUM for Artisan Sustainable Emerging Markets and U.S. Mid-Cap Growth strategies includes $114.2 million in aggregate for which Artisan Partners provides investment models to managed account sponsors (reported on a lag not exceeding one quarter).
3 Value-added is the amount, in basis points, by which the average annual gross composite return of each of our strategies has outperformed or underperformed its
respective benchmark. See Forward-Looking Statements and Other Disclosures for further information on the benchmark indexes used. Value-added for periods less than
one year is not annualized.
4 Effective in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Global Special Situations strategy changed its benchmark from the ICE BofA 3-month Treasury Bill Index to the ICE BofA Global High Yield Index. All periods presented reflect the return of the new benchmark.
5 Custom Credit Solutions represents assets managed by the Credit team within custom, investor-driven mandates for which there is no combined performance track record. A portion of these assets under management was previously reported under the High Income strategy.
