NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PREPARATION.

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”, “us”, or “we”) 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 sponsored products. The other sponsored products include: open-ended investment products offered to investors outside the U.S., products offered through variable annuity life insurance plans in the U.S., affiliated private investment funds, and collateralized loan obligations. 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. Additionally, we derive revenue from our interests in general partners of certain affiliated private investment funds that are entitled to a disproportionate allocation of income through capital allocation-based arrangements also known as carried interest.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2022 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.

NOTE 2 – INFORMATION ABOUT RECEIVABLES, REVENUES, AND SERVICES.

Our revenues are derived primarily from investment advisory services provided to individual and institutional investors through the use of U.S. mutual funds, subadvised funds, separately managed accounts, collective investment trusts, and other sponsored products. The other sponsored products include: open-ended investment products offered to investors outside the U.S., products offered through variable annuity life insurance plans in the U.S., affiliated private investment funds, and collateralized loan obligations.

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.

Additionally, we derive revenue from our interests in general partners of certain affiliated private investment funds that are entitled to a disproportionate allocation of income through capital allocation-based arrangements also known as carried interest.

We manage a broad mix of equity, fixed income, multi-asset, and alternative classes and solutions that meet the varied needs and objectives of individual and institutional investors. 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 affect our revenues.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, total net revenues earned from our sponsored products aggregate $3,979.9 million and $4,069.7 million, respectively.

 U.S. Treasury note1.0 1.0 
Total$2,503.6 $2,539.2 

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- and nine-months ended September 30, 2023, net gains on investments included $46.1 million of net unrealized losses and $28.9 million of net unrealized gains, respectively, related to investments held at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2023. For the same periods of 2022, net losses on investments included $35.3 million and $258.7 million of net unrealized losses related to investments held at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, certain sponsored 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 sponsored investment products as either an equity method investment or an investment held at fair value. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, certain sponsored 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.

Gains recognized upon deconsolidation$0.7 $ $0.7 $6.9 

The gains recognized upon deconsolidation were the result of reclassifying currency translation adjustments accumulated on certain sponsored investment products with non-USD functional currencies from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to non-operating income (loss).

INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED COLLATERALIZED LOAN OBLIGATIONS.

There is debt associated with our long-term investments in affiliated collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). This debt is carried at $96.1 million at September 30, 2023 and $103.0 million at December 31, 2022, and is reported in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The debt includes outstanding repurchase agreements of €65.7 million (equivalent to $69.5 million at September 30, 2023 and $71.3 million at December 31, 2022 at the respective EUR spot rates) that are collateralized by the CLO investments. The debt also includes outstanding note facilities of €25.2 million (equivalent to $26.6 million at September 30, 2023 and $31.7 million at December 31, 2022 at the respective EUR spot rates) that are collateralized by first priority security interests in the assets of a consolidated subsidiary that is party to the notes. These note facilities bear interest at rates based on EURIBOR plus the initial margin, which equals all-in rates ranging from 1.15% to 12.52% as of September 30, 2023. The debt matures on various dates through 2035 or if the investments are paid back in full or cancelled, whichever is sooner.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES.

Our investments at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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)9/30/202312/31/2022
Investment carrying values$989.6 $762.2 
Unfunded capital commitments123.9 84.7 
Accounts receivable97.4 91.5 
$1,210.9 $938.4 

The unfunded capital commitments, totaling $123.9 million at September 30, 2023 and $84.7 million at December 31, 2022, relate primarily to the affiliated private investment funds and 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.

INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED FUNDS.

Certain of the the investments in affiliated funds represent interests in general partners of affiliated private investment funds and are entitled to a disproportionate allocation of income or carried interest. These entities are considered variable interest entities and are consolidated as T. Rowe Price was determined to be the primary beneficiary.

The total assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of these consolidated variable interest entities are as follows:

Assets$621.7 $526.2 
Liabilities$0.2 $15.8

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. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments in this category generally include investments for which there is not an actively-traded market.

These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with our investments. The following table summarizes our investments and liabilities that are recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets using fair value measurements determined based on the differing levels of inputs. This table excludes investments held by the consolidated sponsored 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 $74.9 million at September 30, 2023, and $86.4 million at December 31, 2022.

Contingent Consideration

As part of the purchase consideration for our acquisition of OHA in December 2021, there was contingent
consideration in the amount of up to $900 million, payable in cash, that may be due as part of an earnout payment starting in 2025 and ending in 2027 upon satisfying or exceeding certain defined revenue targets. These defined revenue targets will be evaluated on a cumulative basis beginning at the end of 2024, with the ability to extend two additional years if the defined revenue targets are not achieved. About 22% of the earnout is conditioned upon continued service with T. Rowe Price and was excluded from the purchase consideration and deemed compensatory. The fair value of the earnout deemed compensatory is remeasured each reporting period and recognized over the related service period. The amount recorded as compensation expense for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2023 was immaterial.

The change in the contingent consideration liability measured at fair value for which we used Level 3 inputs to determine fair value is as follows:

  Unrealized gains, included in earnings (29.9)(72.8)(125.7)
Balance at end of period$23.0 $131.3 $23.0 $131.3 

The fair value of the contingent consideration is measured using the Monte Carlo simulation methodology of valuation. The most significant assumptions used relate to the discount rates and from changes pertaining to the achievement of the defined financial targets.
In addition, simultaneously with the OHA acquisition, a Value Creation Agreement was entered into whereby certain employees of OHA will receive incentive payments in the aggregate equal to 10% of the appreciated value of the OHA business, subject to an annualized preferred return to T. Rowe Price, on the fifth anniversary of the acquisition date. This arrangement is treated as a post-combination compensation expense. This arrangement will be remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and recognized over the related service period. For the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2023, the amounts recognized as part of compensation expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income were immaterial.

NOTE 5 – CONSOLIDATED SPONSORED INVESTMENT PRODUCTS.

The sponsored 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 and certain other sponsored products are considered voting interest entities, while those regulated outside the U.S. are considered variable interest entities.

(2) Investments include $6.2 million at September 30, 2023, and $7.6 million at December 31, 2022 of other sponsored investment products.

Although we can redeem our interest in these consolidated sponsored 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.


Page 13


Since third party investors in these investment products have no recourse to our credit, our overall risk related to the net assets of consolidated sponsored investment products is limited to valuation changes associated with our interest. We, however, are required to recognize the valuation changes associated with all underlying 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 sponsored investment products for the three- and nine- months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, against the investment advisory and administrative fees earned from these products. Operating expenses eliminated for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, were $1.6 million and $2.0 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 sponsored investment products.

These cash flows were eliminated in consolidation.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.

We determine the fair value of investments held by consolidated sponsored 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.

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 sponsored investment products using fair value measurements determined based on the differing levels of inputs.

Liabilities$(1.5)$(19.2)$ $(0.9)$(19.1)$ 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, certain sponsored investment products in which we provided initial seed capital at the time of formation were deconsolidated, as we no longer had a controlling interest. The residual interest is now reported as an equity method investment, and as such, the underlying investment holdings in these products previously classified as level 3 were removed from the fair value measurements table at September 30, 2023 above.

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, 2023, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and stockholders’ equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2022, 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 15, 2023, 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, 2022, 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.

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

OVERVIEW.

Our revenues and net income are derived primarily from investment advisory services provided to individual and institutional investors in U.S. mutual funds, subadvised funds, separately managed accounts, collective investment trusts, and other sponsored products. The other sponsored products include: open-ended investment products offered to investors outside the U.S., products offered through variable annuity life insurance plans in the U.S., affiliated private investment funds, and collateralized loan obligations. 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. Additionally, we derive revenue from our interests in general partners of certain affiliated private investment funds that are entitled to a disproportionate allocation of income through capital allocation-based arrangements also known as carried interest.

We manage a broad mix of equity, fixed income, multi-asset, alternative and money market asset classes and solutions that meet the varied needs and objectives of individual and institutional investors. 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 affect our revenues and results of operations.

We incur significant expenditures to develop new products and services and improve and expand our capabilities and distribution channels in order to attract new investment advisory clients and additional investments from our existing clients. These efforts often involve costs that precede any future revenues that we may recognize from an increase to our assets under management.

The general trend to passive investing has been persistent and accelerated in recent years, which has negatively impacted our new client inflows. However, over the long term we expect well-executed active management to play an important role for investors. In this regard, we have ample liquidity and resources that allow us to take advantage of attractive growth opportunities. We are investing in key capabilities, including investment professionals, distribution professionals, technologies, and new product offerings in order to provide our clients with strong investment management expertise and service.

On April 20, 2023, we completed our acquisition of Retiree, Inc., a fintech firm that offers innovative retirement income planning software. The terms of the transaction are not material.

MARKET TRENDS.

U.S. stocks declined in the third quarter of 2023. Although the U.S. economy remained resilient and second-quarter corporate earnings reports were mostly favorable, the equity market was affected by higher energy costs and U.S. Treasury yields rising to multi-year highs amid concerns that elevated inflation could force the Federal Reserve to maintain a restrictive monetary policy for some time. The central bank raised the Fed Funds target rate in late July, but not at its September policy meeting. However, investors reacted negatively to policymakers’ projections in September that one more interest rate increase is likely before the end of the year, and that there could be fewer rate cuts in 2024 than previously expected.

Developed non-U.S. equity markets fell in U.S. dollar terms, as the U.S dollar strengthened versus major non-U.S. currencies. In Europe, equity markets were largely negative in dollar terms. Developed Asian markets declined but generally held up better. Japanese shares fell slightly in dollar terms but rose slightly in local currency terms, as the yen weakened and central bank officials kept interest rates very low.

Emerging equity markets generally declined, but outperformed equities in developed non-U.S. markets in dollar terms. In the emerging Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region, market performance was widely mixed. Turkish stocks led the region, surging as the central bank raised interest rates to fight elevated inflation and took other steps to gradually return to more orthodox policymaking. Markets in emerging Asia and Latin America were largely negative.

 (1) Returns exclude dividends

Global bond returns were mostly negative in U.S. dollar terms in the third quarter. In the U.S., Treasury bill yields increased as the Federal Reserve lifted the Fed Funds target rate to the 5.25% to 5.50% range in late July and as investors prepared for possibly one more Fed interest rate increase by the end of the year. Intermediate- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields rose more significantly due in part to a U.S. sovereign credit rating downgrade from Fitch Ratings in August, increased Treasury Department borrowing in the third quarter, and concerns about a possible October 1 federal government shutdown, which was narrowly averted. The 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield increased from 3.81% to 4.59% during the quarter, reaching its highest levels in about 16 years.

In the U.S. investment-grade bond universe, sector performance was mostly negative. Mortgage-backed securities performed worst. Corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities also fared poorly. Asset-backed securities outperformed with a slight positive total return. Tax-free municipal bonds fared worse than the broad taxable bond market, as municipal yields generally increased more than U.S. Treasury yields. High yield corporate bonds produced slight positive total returns and strongly outperformed the investment-grade market.

Bonds in developed non-U.S. markets declined in U.S. dollar terms; returns to U.S. investors were hurt by rising interest rates in various countries as well as weaker non-U.S. currencies versus the greenback. In Europe, government bond yields rose in parallel with U.S. Treasury yields and were also pressured higher by signs that the rate of inflation, while decreasing, remains elevated. In Japan, government bond yields remained very low, as the Bank of Japan continued its highly stimulative monetary policy. However, long-term yields rose to levels unseen in about 10 years as policymakers expressed a willingness to conduct “with greater flexibility” their yield curve control policy. Emerging markets bonds also depreciated in U.S. dollar terms. Bonds denominated in local currencies generally fared worse than dollar-denominated issues, as most emerging markets currencies declined versus the greenback.

ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT.(1)

Assets under management ended the third quarter of 2023 at $1,346.5 billion, a decrease of $52.9 billion from June 30, 2023 and an increase of $71.8 billion from the end of 2022. The decrease in assets under management during the third quarter of 2023 was driven by market depreciation, net of distributions not reinvested, of $35.5 billion and net cash outflows of $17.4 billion.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increase in assets under management was driven by market appreciation, net of distributions not reinvested, of $125.3 billion, offset by net cash outflows of $53.5 billion.

The following tables detail changes in our assets under management, by asset class, during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023:

Assets under management in our target date retirement products, which are included in the multi-asset totals shown above, were $371.8 billion at September 30, 2023, compared with $380.0 billion at June 30, 2023 and $334.2 billion at December 31, 2022. Net flows into these portfolios were $2.9 billion and $12.8 billion in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023.

We also provide strategic investment advice solutions for certain portfolios. These advice solutions, which the vast majority is overseen by our multi-asset division, may include strategic asset allocation, and in certain portfolios, asset selection and/or tactical asset allocation overlays. We also offer advice solutions through retail separately managed accounts and separately managed accounts model delivery. As of September 30, 2023, total assets in these solutions were $453 billion, of which $444 billion are included in our reported assets under management in the tables above.

We provide participant accounting and plan administration for retirement plans that invest in the firm's U.S. mutual funds, collective investment trusts and funds outside of the firm's complex. As of September 30, 2023, our assets under administration were $234 billion, of which nearly $141 billion are assets we manage.

Results Overview - Quarter ended September 30, 2023

Net revenues consist of investment advisory revenues; administrative, distribution, and servicing fees; and capital allocation-based income. Approximately 90% of our net revenues are related to investment advisory fees. Total net revenues were $1,670.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, a 5.2% increase compared with $1,588.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $65.0 million increase in accrued carried interest from investments in affiliated investment funds and a 1.5% increase in investment advisory fee revenue as higher overall markets increased average assets under management by 3.4%.

Investment advisory fees are generally earned based on the value and composition of our assets under management, which change based on fluctuations in financial markets and net cash flows. As our average assets under management increase or decrease in a given period, the level of our investment advisory fee revenue for that same period generally fluctuates in a similar manner. Our annualized effective fee rates can be impacted by market or cash flow related shifts among asset and share classes, price changes in existing products, and asset level changes in products with tiered-fee structures.

Capital allocation-based income will fluctuate quarter-to-quarter to reflect the adjustment to accrued carried interest for the change in value of the affiliated funds, assuming the funds’ underlying investments were realized as of the end of the period, regardless of whether the funds’ underlying investments have been realized.

Page 26



Operating expenses on a U.S. GAAP basis were $1,089.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, a 7.5% increase over over the comparable 2022 period. On a non-GAAP basis, operating expenses were $1,061.3 million, a 3.2% increase over the comparable 2022 period.

In comparison to the third quarter of 2022, about 50% of the increase in U.S. GAAP operating expenses is driven by no change in the contingent consideration liability and a smaller decrease in supplemental savings plan liability in the third quarter of 2023, compared to a decrease in the contingent consideration liability and a more significant decline in the supplemental savings plan liability in the 2022 period.

Also contributing to the increase in U.S. GAAP operating expenses and the primary drivers of non-GAAP operating expenses were higher salaries and related benefits, including severance related to the July work-force action, and an increase in accrued carried interest-related compensation along with higher costs associated with ongoing investments in our technology capabilities. These increases were partially offset by lower general, administrative and other costs due to a non-recurring recovery of costs that were incurred in Q3 2022.

Operating margin in the third quarter of 2023 was 34.8% on a U.S. GAAP basis, compared to 36.2% earned in the 2022 quarter. The decrease in our U.S. GAAP operating margin for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the 2022 period was primarily driven by operating expense growth outpacing net revenue growth. The drivers of operating expense growth are further discussed above.

Diluted earnings per share was $1.97 for the third quarter of 2023 as compared to $1.66 for the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by net investment gains recognized in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to net investment losses recognized in the third quarter of 2022, as market returns in the third quarter of 2023 were stronger than those in the 2022 period. These gains were partially offset by higher tax rate.

On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share was $2.17 for the third quarter of 2023 as compared to $1.86 for the third quarter of 2022. The increase is largely attributable to higher adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2023 as well as net investment gains recognized on our cash investment strategy as compared to net investment losses recognized in the third quarter of 2022. These increases were partially offset by a higher effective tax rate compared to the 2022 period.

Results Overview - Year-to-Date ended September 30, 2023
Net revenues consist of investment advisory revenues; administrative, distribution, and servicing fees; and capital allocation-based income. Approximately 90% of our net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are related to investment advisory fees. Total net revenues were $4,818.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a 2.9% decrease compared with $4,964.2 million in the 2022 period. The decrease was primarily driven by a 6.8% decline in investment advisory fee revenue as average assets under management declined by 5.5%. This decrease was partially offset by a $202.5 million increase in accrued carried interest from investments in affiliated investment funds. The change in accrued carried interest in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased net revenues by $121.7 million compared with an $80.8 million reduction in the 2022 period.

Operating expenses were $3,219.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with $2,843.6 million in the 2022 period. On a non-GAAP basis, our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 3.2% to $3,110.0 million compared to the 2022 period.

In comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, about 60% of the increase in U.S. GAAP operating expenses was due to the increase in the supplemental savings plan liability in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a significant decrease in the supplemental savings plan liability in the 2022 period.

Also contributing to the increase in U.S GAAP operating expenses and the primary drivers of non-GAAP operating expenses were higher accrued carried interest-related compensation along with higher salaries and related benefits including severance and higher costs related to the ongoing investments in our technology capabilities. These increases were partially offset by lower distribution and servicing costs due to lower average assets under management, lower employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense and lower general, administrative and other costs.

Page 27



Operating margin in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 33.2%, compared to 42.7% earned in the 2022 period. The decrease in our operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the 2022 period was primarily driven by operating expense growth outpacing net revenue growth. The drivers of operating expense growth are discussed above.

Diluted earnings per share was $5.86 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $5.54 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The 5.8% increase was primarily driven by net investment gains of $244.4 million recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to net investment losses of $561.2 million recognized in the comparable 2022 period, as market returns in the 2023 year-to-date period were stronger than those in the 2022 period. Lower average shares outstanding also contributed to the increase. These increases were partially offset by lower operating income and a higher effective tax rate.

On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share was $5.88 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $6.28 for the 2022 period. The 6.4% decrease was largely attributable to lower adjusted operating income as well as a higher effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These decreases were offset slightly by net investment gains recognized on our cash investment strategy compared to net losses in the 2022 period.

Investment advisory fees
Investment advisory revenues earned in the third quarter of 2023 increased 1.5% over the comparable 2022 quarter as average assets under management increased $46.1 billion or 3.4%, to $1,393.6 billion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, investment advisory revenues decreased 6.8% over the comparable 2022 period as average assets under management decreased $78.9 billion, or 5.5%, to $1,358.2 billion.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we voluntarily waived $9.3 million, or less than 1%, of our investment advisory fees. We have not waived money market investment advisory fees since second quarter of 2022.

The decline in our investment advisory average annualized effective fee rate to 41.7 bps in Q3 2023 and 42.2 bps for year-to-date 2023 was primarily driven by a mix shift in assets under management toward lower fee asset classes and vehicles as a result of net equity outflows over the last twelve months. For Q3 2023, the impact of net equity outflows was offset slightly by higher market returns during the same period.

Administrative, distribution, and servicing fees in the third quarter of 2023 were $140.7 million, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 3.0%, from the comparable 2022 quarter. The decrease in the third quarter of 2023 is primarily due to lower transfer agent servicing activities provided to the T. Rowe Price mutual funds.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these fees were $410.3 million, a decrease of $33.9 million, or 7.6%, from the 2022 period. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to lower transfer agent servicing activities provided to the T. Rowe Price mutual funds and lower 12b-1 revenue as a result of lower assets under management in the related U.S. mutual fund share classes. These lower 12b-1 revenues are offset by decreases in the costs incurred with third-party intermediaries who distribute these share classes.

Our net revenues reflect the elimination of advisory and administrative fee revenue earned from our consolidated
sponsored investment products. The corresponding expenses recognized by these products, and consolidated in our financial statements, were also eliminated from operating expenses. For the third quarter, we eliminated net revenue of $0.7 million in 2023 and $0.5 million in 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, we eliminated net revenue of $1.6 million in 2023 and $2.1 million in 2022.

Capital allocation-based income in the third quarter of 2023 increased net revenues by $66.1 million. The third quarter of 2023 amount represents an increase of $91.9 million in accrued carried interest from investments in affiliated investment funds, partially offset by $25.8 million in non-cash acquisition-related amortization and impairments. Comparatively, capital allocation-based income in the third quarter of 2022 increased net revenues by $1.1 million, which consists of market-related increases of accrued carried interest from investments in affiliated investment funds of $14.3 million offset by $13.2 million in non-cash amortization. The increase in accrued carried interest in the 2023 quarter as compared to the 2022 quarter was largely driven by stronger absolute and relative performance.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, capital allocation-based income increased net revenues by $121.7 million. This amount represents an increase of $172.1 million in accrued carried interest from investments in affiliated investment funds, partially offset by $50.4 million in non-cash acquisition-related amortization and impairments. Comparatively, capital allocation-based income reduced net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 by $80.8 million. This amount represents $41.1 million in market-related reductions of accrued carried interest from investments in affiliated investment funds plus $39.7 million in non-cash acquisition-related amortization.

A portion of the capital allocation-based income is passed through to certain associates as compensation and the related expense is recognized in compensation and related costs with the unpaid amount reported as non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet.

(1) The impact of the market on the supplemental savings plan liability drives the expense recognized each period.

Compensation, benefits, and related costs were $617.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of $21.4 million, or 3.6%, compared to the 2022 quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and related benefits, including severance related to the July work-force action in the third quarter of 2023. These increases were partially offset by higher labor capitalization and lower stock-based compensation in the third quarter of 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these costs were $1,801.3 million, an increase of $20.0 million, or 1.1%, compared to the 2022 period. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to higher salaries and related benefits, resulting from base salary increases in July 2022 and January 2023, and severance related to the July work-force actions. These increases were offset by lower stock-based compensation expense, lower temporary personnel, and higher labor capitalization.

The firm employed 7,842 associates at September 30, 2023, a decrease of 0.3% from the end of 2022, and a decrease of 1.9% from September 30, 2022.

Distribution and servicing costs were $74.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of $5.0 million, or 7.2%, from the $69.9 million recognized in the 2022 quarter. The increase from 2022 was primarily driven by higher costs incurred to distribute certain products through certain U.S. intermediaries.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these costs were $214.2 million, a decrease of $17.3 million, or 7.5%, compared with the 2022 period. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by lower average assets under management in certain U.S. mutual fund and SICAV share classes.

The costs in this expense category primarily include amounts paid to third-party intermediaries that source the assets of certain share classes of our U.S. mutual funds and our international products, such as our Japanese ITMs and SICAVs. These costs are offset entirely by the distribution revenue we earn and report in net revenues: 12b-1 revenue is recognized in administrative, distribution, and servicing fees for the Advisor and R share classes of the U.S. mutual funds and investment advisory fee revenue for our international products.

Advertising and promotion costs were $21.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 13.2%, compared to the $24.3 million recognized in the 2022 quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these costs were $69.8 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 1.0%, compared with the 2022 period.

Product and recordkeeping related costs were $73.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 3.3%, compared to the $75.6 million in the 2022 quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these costs were $222.9 million, a decrease of $9.4 million, or 4.0%, compared with the 2022 period. The decrease in both periods were primarily due to lower recordkeeping related costs.
Technology, occupancy, and facility costs were $159.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of $16.1 million, or 11.2%, compared to the $143.6 million recognized in the 2022 quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these costs were $461.0 million, an increase of $49.2 million, or 11.9%, compared with the 2022 period. The increase for both periods was primarily related to higher costs from the firm's ongoing investment in its technology capabilities, including hosted solution licenses and depreciation. The nine months ended was also impacted by increased office facility costs, mainly related to rent expense associated with a new London office that has been recognizing throughout the year, and that we began occupying in late September.

General, administrative, and other expenses were $85.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $29.2 million, or 25.4%, compared to the $114.9 million recognized in the 2022 quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these costs were $293.2 million, a decrease of $16.9 million, or 5.4%, compared with the 2022 period. The decrease in both periods were primarily due to a non-recurring recovery of costs that were incurred in Q3 2022 that more than offset increases in professional fees and information services.

Change in fair value of contingent consideration. The change in our contingent consideration relates to an earnout arrangement as part of our acquisition of OHA in which additional purchase price may be due upon satisfying or exceeding certain defined revenue targets. Every reporting period, we record the potential amount due under this arrangement at fair value. For the three months ended, there was no change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability at September 30, 2023, while in 2022 the liability was reduced by $29.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized reductions in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability of $72.8 million and $125.7 million, respectively. Challenging market conditions have reduced revenue expectations used in the fair value determinations.

Acquisition-related amortization and impairment costs. As part of the purchase accounting for our acquisitions, we identified and separately recognized at fair value certain intangible assets. During the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, we recognized $38.5 million and $27.1 million, respectively, in amortization related to the definite-lived intangible assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $93.1 million and $81.4 million, respectively, in amortization. Immaterial impairment costs were recognized during Q3 2023. Should conditions that led us to recognize the impairment charges deteriorate, additional impairments may be recognized in future periods.

Non-operating income (loss)

Non-operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was $2.8 million as compared to non-operating loss of $82.8 million in the 2022 quarter. The following table details the components of non-operating income (loss) for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Non-operating income (loss)$2.8 $(82.8)$244.4 $(561.2)

Our investment portfolio recognized gains during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to market activity that resulted in higher valuations at the end of the third quarter of 2023 and higher dividends earned on our cash equivalents. Our investment portfolio recognized losses in the third quarter of 2022 as the fear of inflation, the continued Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Federal Reserve interest rate increases weighed on the global economy and markets resulting in lower valuations at the end of the third quarter of 2022.

The table above includes the net investment income of the underlying portfolios included in the consolidated
T. Rowe Price investment products and not just the net investment income related to our ownership interest in the products. The table below shows the impact that the consolidated sponsored investment products had on the individual lines of our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and the portion attributable to our interest:

Provision for income taxes

The following table reconciles the statutory federal income tax rate to our effective tax rate on a U.S. GAAP basis for both the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Three months endedNine months ended

Other items, including valuation allowances0.8 0.8 2.6 — 
Effective income tax rate24.8 %27.2 %26.1 %25.6 %
(1) State income tax benefits are reflected in the total benefits for net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests and stock-based compensation plans activity.
(2) Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests represents the portion of earnings held in the firm's consolidated investment products, which are not taxable to the firm despite being included in pre-tax income.
The non-GAAP effective tax rate primarily adjusts for the impact of the consolidated investment products, including the net income attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interests. Our non-GAAP effective tax rate was 24.8% in the third quarter of 2023 compared with 24.4% in third quarter of 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our non-GAAP effective tax rate was 26.8%, compared with 24.2% in the 2022 period.

Our 2023 U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rates were unfavorably impacted by losses in certain foreign jurisdictions in which no associated tax benefit was recognized in the income tax provision. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was also unfavorably impacted by increases in valuation allowances recognized against certain foreign-based deferred tax assets, as it was determined in the first quarter of 2023 that these deferred tax assets were more likely not to be realized.

We currently estimate that our effective tax rate for the full year 2023, on a U.S. GAAP basis, will be in the range of 26% to 30%. On a non-GAAP basis, the range is 26.5% to 29.5%.

Our effective tax rate will continue to experience volatility in future periods as the tax benefits recognized from stock-based compensation are impacted by market fluctuations in our stock price and, the timing of option exercises. The rate also experiences volatility from the remeasurement of the contingent consideration liability, as well as changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances, primarily in foreign jurisdictions, based on the sufficiency of taxable income in future periods. Our U.S. GAAP rate will also be impacted by changes in the proportion of net income that is attributable to our redeemable non-controlling interests and non-controlling interests reflected in permanent equity.

NON-GAAP INFORMATION AND RECONCILIATION.

We believe the non-GAAP financial measures below provide relevant and meaningful information to investors about our core operating results. These measures have been established in order to increase transparency for the purpose of evaluating our core business, for comparing current results with prior period results, and to enable more appropriate comparison with industry peers. However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be calculated differently by other companies.

Management believes adjusting for these charges helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and to increase comparability period to period.

(2)    This non-GAAP adjustment removes acquisition-related transactions costs. Management believes adjusting for these charges helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and to increase comparability period to period.

(3)    This non-GAAP adjustment removes the compensation expense impact from market valuation changes in the supplemental savings plan liability and the related net gains (losses) on investments designated as an economic hedge against the related liability. Amounts deferred under the supplemental savings plan are adjusted for appreciation (depreciation) of hypothetical investments chosen by participants. We use T. Rowe Price investment products to economically hedge the exposure to these market movements. Management believes it is useful to offset the non-operating investment income (loss) realized on the economic hedges against the related compensation expense and remove the net impact to help the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and to increase comparability period to period.

(4)    These non-GAAP adjustments remove the impact that the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products have on our U.S. GAAP consolidated statements of income. Specifically, we add back the operating expenses and subtracts the investment income of the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products. The adjustment to operating expenses represents the operating expenses of the consolidated products, net of the elimination of related management and administrative fees. The adjustment to net income attributable to T. Rowe Price represents the net income of the consolidated products, net of redeemable non-controlling interests. Management believes the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products may impact the reader’s ability to understand our core operating results.

(5)    This non-GAAP adjustment represents the other non-operating income (loss) and the net gains (losses) earned on our non-consolidated investment portfolio that are not designated as economic hedges of the supplemental savings plan liability, and that are not part of the cash and discretionary investment portfolio. Management retains the investment gains recognized on the non-consolidated cash and discretionary investments as these assets and related income (loss) are considered part of our core operations. Management believes adjusting for these non-operating income (loss) items helps the reader’s ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability to prior years. Additionally, management does not emphasize the impact of the portion of non-operating income (loss) removed when managing and evaluating our performance.

(6)    The income tax impacts were calculated in order to achieve an overall year-to-date non-GAAP effective tax rate of 26.8% in 2023 and 24.2% in 2022. As such, the non-GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was 24.8% and 24.4%, respectively. We estimate that our effective tax rate for the full-year 2023 on a non-GAAP basis will be in the range of 26.5% to 29.5%.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY.

Sources of Liquidity

We have ample liquidity, including cash and investments in T. Rowe Price products, as follows:
(in millions)9/30/202312/31/2022
Cash and cash equivalents$2,578.7 $1,755.6 
Discretionary investments486.3 449.7

Redeemable seed capital investments1,167.4 1,120.3 
Investments used to hedge the supplemental savings plan liability 783.9 760.7 
Total cash and investments in T. Rowe Price products$5,016.3 $4,086.3 

Our discretionary investment portfolio is comprised of short duration bond funds, which typically yield higher than money market rates. Our subsidiaries outside the United States held cash and discretionary investments of $789.3 million at September 30, 2023 and $809.1 million at December 31, 2022. Given the availability of our financial resources and cash expected to be generated through future operations, we do not maintain an available external source of additional liquidity.

Our seed capital investments are redeemable, although we generally expect to be invested for several years for the products to build an investment performance history and until unrelated third-party investors substantially reduce our relative ownership percentage.

The cash and investment presentation on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet is based on the accounting treatment for the cash equivalent or investment item. The following table details how T. Rowe Price’s interests in cash and investments relate to where they are presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023.

(1) The consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products are generally those products we provided seed capital at the time of their formation and we have a controlling interest. These products generally represent U.S. mutual funds as well as those funds regulated outside the U.S.     The $1,134.3 million represents the total value at September 30, 2023 of our interest in the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products. The total net assets of the T. Rowe Price investment products at September 30, 2023 of $1,694.5 million includes assets of $1,778.3 million, less liabilities of $83.8 million as reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(2) Includes $221.5 million of non-controlling interests in consolidated entities and represents the portion of these investments, held by third parties, that we cannot sell in order to obtain cash for general operations.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the cash and cash equivalents, investments, other assets and liabilities of those sponsored investment products we consolidate, as well as redeemable non-controlling

Page 37


interests for the portion of these sponsored investment products that are held by unrelated third-party investors. Although we can redeem our net interest in these sponsored investment products at any time, we cannot directly access or sell the assets held by the products to obtain cash for general operations. Additionally, the assets of these sponsored investment products are not available to our general creditors. Our interest in these sponsored investment products was used as initial seed capital and is recategorized as discretionary when it is determined by management that the seed capital is no longer needed. We assess the discretionary investment products and, when we decide to liquidate our interest, we seek to do so in a way as to not impact the product and, ultimately, the unrelated third-party investors.

Uses of Liquidity

We increased our quarterly recurring dividend per common share in February 2023 by 1.7% to $1.22 per common share from $1.20 per common share. Further, we expended $151.4 million in the first nine months of 2023 to repurchase 1,398 thousand shares of our outstanding common stock, at an average price of $107.78 per share. These dividends and repurchases were expended using existing cash balances and cash generated from operations. While opportunistic in our approach to stock buybacks, we will generally repurchase our common stock over time to offset the dilution created by our equity-based compensation plans.

Since the end of 2020, we have returned nearly $5.8 billion to stockholders through stock repurchases, regular quarterly dividends, and a special dividend, as follows:

(in millions)Recurring dividendSpecial dividendStock repurchasesTotal cash returned to stockholders
2021$1,003.7 $699.8 $1,136.0 $2,839.5

841.1 — 150.6 991.7 
Total$2,953.6 $699.8 $2,141.9 $5,795.3 

We anticipate property, equipment, software and other capital expenditures, including internal labor capitalization, for the full-year 2023 to be about $332 million of which approximately 60% is planned for technology initiatives. We expect to fund our anticipated capital expenditures with operating cash flows and other available resources.

Operating Activities
Operating activities attributable to T. Rowe Price during the first nine months of 2023 provided cash flows of $2,117.3 million, a decrease of $335.5 million from the $2,452.8 million provided during the comparable 2022 period. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower non-cash adjustments as the 2023 period included net investment gains of $326.0 million compared with net investment losses of $506.6 million in the 2022 period. The reduction in non-cash adjustments was offset in part by timing differences related to the cash settlement of our assets and liabilities, which increased our net cash flow provided by operating activities by $310.7 million. Additionally, in 2023, we had net proceeds of $101.3 million from certain investment products that economically hedge our supplemental savings plan liability compared to net proceeds of $33.8 million in the same period of 2022. The remaining change in reported cash flows from operating activities was primarily attributable to the net change in trading securities held in our consolidated investment products’ underlying portfolios, and to change in fair value of the contingent consideration liability.

Our interim operating cash flows do not include the cash impact of variable compensation that is accrued throughout the year before being substantially paid out in December. Our non-cash adjustments include unrealized investment gain/losses, depreciation and amortization, fair value remeasurement of the contingent consideration liability remeasurement, and other non-cash items.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities that are attributable to T. Rowe Price totaled $333.3 million in the first nine months of 2023, an increase of $278.6 million from the the 2022 period. During the 2023 period, we reinvested the majority of $370.7 million in net proceeds from the sale of certain of our discretionary investments along with additional operating cash to make $442.8 million into new investments in order to rebalance the asset allocation of our discretionary investment portfolio. This resulted in net new investment activity in the 2023 period of $72.1 million compared with $119.2 million in proceeds from net dispositions in the comparable 2022 period. The majority of the net new investments were seed capital provided to sponsored investment products that we consolidate. We eliminate our our investments in those sponsored investment products we consolidate in preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

In addition, we increased our property, equipment and software expenditures by $48.8 million and had higher other investing activities of $38.5 million. The remaining $26.9 million change in reported cash flows from investing activities is related to the net cash removed from our balance sheet from consolidating and deconsolidating investment products.

Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities attributable to T. Rowe Price were $960.9 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared with $1,554.9 million in the 2022 period. During the first nine months of 2023, we repurchased 1.4 million shares for $151.4 million compared to 5.7 million shares for $744.0 million in the comparable 2022 period. The remaining decrease in reported cash flows used from financing activities is primarily attributable to $343.7 million in net subscriptions received from redeemable non-controlling interest holders of our consolidated investment products during the first nine months of 2023 as compared to $61.8 million in net redemptions in the comparable 2022 period.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

The preparation of financial statements often requires the selection of specific accounting methods and policies from among several acceptable alternatives. Further, significant estimates and judgments may be required in selecting and applying those methods and policies in the recognition of the assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, the revenues and expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income, and the information that is contained in our significant accounting policies and notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Making these estimates and judgments requires the analysis of information concerning events that may not yet be complete and of facts and circumstances that may change over time. Accordingly, actual amounts or future results can differ materially from those estimates that we include currently in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, significant accounting policies, and notes.

There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies previously identified in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

See Note 1 - The Company and Basis of Preparation note within Item 1. Financial Statements for a discussion of newly issued but not yet adopted accounting guidance.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION.

From time to time, information or statements provided by or on behalf of T. Rowe Price, including those within this report, may contain certain forward-looking information, including information or anticipated information relating to: our operations, revenues, liquidity, net income, and earnings per share of common stock; changes in the amount and composition of our assets under management; our expenses; our tax rate; legal or regulatory developments; geopolitical instability; interest rates and currency fluctuations; and our expectations regarding financial markets, future transactions, strategic initiatives, dividends, stock repurchases, investments, new products and services, capital expenditures, changes in our effective fee rate, and other industry or market conditions. Readers are cautioned that any forward-looking information provided by or on behalf of T. Rowe Price is not a guarantee of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking information because of various factors including, but not limited to, those discussed below and in Item 1A, Risk Factors, included in our Form 10-K Annual Report for 2022. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Our future revenues and results of operations will fluctuate primarily due to changes in the total value and composition of assets under our management. Such changes result from many factors, including, among other things: cash inflows and outflows in the U.S. mutual funds, subadvised funds, separately managed accounts, collective investment trusts, and other investment products, performance fees, capital allocation-based income, fluctuations in global financial markets that result in appreciation or depreciation of the assets under our management, our introduction of new mutual funds and investment products, changes in retirement savings trends relative to participant-directed investments and defined contribution plans, and the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The ability to attract and retain investors’ assets under our management is dependent on investor sentiment and confidence; the relative investment performance of the T. Rowe Price mutual funds and other managed investment products as compared with competing offerings and market indexes; the ability to maintain our investment management and administrative fees at appropriate levels; the impact of changes in interest rates and inflation; competitive conditions in the mutual fund, asset management, and broader financial services sectors; our level of success in implementing our strategy to expand our business, including our establishment of T. Rowe Price Investment Management as a separate registered investment adviser; and our ability to attract and retain key personnel. Our revenues are substantially dependent on fees earned under contracts with the T. Rowe Price funds and could be adversely affected if the independent directors of one or more of the T. Rowe Price funds terminated or significantly altered the terms of the investment management or related administrative services agreements. Non-operating investment income will also fluctuate primarily due to the size of our investments, changes in their market valuations, and any other-than-temporary impairments that may arise or, in the case of our equity method investments, our proportionate share of the investees' net income.

Our future results are also dependent upon the level of our expenses, which are subject to fluctuation for the following or other reasons: changes in the level of our advertising and promotion expenses in response to market conditions, including our efforts to expand our investment advisory business to investors outside the U.S. and to further penetrate our distribution channels within the U.S.; the pace and level of spending to support key strategic priorities, including the integration of OHA with and into our business; variations in the level of total compensation expense due to, among other things, bonuses, restricted stock units and other equity grants, other incentive awards, our supplemental savings plan, changes in our employee count and mix, and competitive factors; any goodwill, intangible asset or other asset impairment that may arise; fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to the costs of our international operations; expenses and capital costs, such as technology assets, depreciation, amortization, and research and development, incurred to maintain and enhance our administrative and operating services infrastructure; the timing of the assumption of all third party research payments, unanticipated costs that may be incurred to protect investor accounts and the goodwill of our clients; and disruptions of services, including those provided by third parties, such as fund and product recordkeeping, facilities, communications, power, and the mutual fund transfer agent and accounting systems.

Our business is also subject to substantial governmental regulation, and changes in legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, and compliance requirements may have a substantial effect on our operations and results, including, but not

Page 41


limited to, effects on costs that we incur and effects on investor interest in T. Rowe Price investment products and investing in general or in particular classes of mutual funds or other investments.
