NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management of Janus Henderson Group plc (“JHG,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are not required for interim reporting purposes and have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for inclusion in the accompanying financial statements through the issuance date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” to require disclosure of certain significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 — Acquisitions

Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC

On October 1, 2024, JHG completed the acquisition of Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC (“VPC”), a global private credit manager with a nearly two-decade-long track record of providing customized private credit solutions to both established and emerging businesses. VPC complements JHG’s securitized credit franchise and expertise in public asset-backed securitized markets, and further expands the Company’s capabilities into the private markets for its clients. JHG acquired 55% of the voting equity interests for $99.0 million and approximately 824,000 shares of JHG common stock. In addition, subject to achieving certain revenue targets, JHG will deliver earnout consideration to be payable in 2027.

In addition to our acquisition of VPC, we expect to close our acquisition of a 55% voting equity interest in Triumph Capital Markets Holdco, LP, which represents VPC's broker-dealer business, in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Tabula Investment Management

On July 1, 2024, JHG completed the acquisition of Tabula Investment Management (“Tabula”), a leading independent exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) provider in Europe with an existing focus on fixed income and sustainable investment solutions. The acquisition aligns with JHG’s strategic pillar of “amplify our strengths not fully leveraged” and builds on the firm’s active ETF strategy in the US. JHG acquired 98.8% of the voting equity interests of Tabula. Prior to the acquisition, we held a 1.2% investment in Tabula. The Tabula acquisition is not material to the financial statements.

NBK Capital Partners

On September 19, 2024, JHG completed the acquisition of NBK Capital Partners (“NBK”), the wealth management arm of the National Bank of Kuwait Group, whereby NBK’s private investments team will join JHG as the firm’s new emerging markets private capital division. The Company expects that partnering with NBK will provide JHG with the opportunity to tap into this rapidly expanding market. In addition to enhancing its offering to its existing clients, the partnership is also expected to provide JHG with the access to engage with new clients in the Middle East, and globally, who want to actively invest in emerging markets. JHG has acquired 100% of the voting equity interests of NBK. The NBK acquisition is not material to the financial statements.

Note 3 — Consolidation

Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Our consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, include certain consolidated seeded investment products in which we have an investment and act as the investment manager. Third-party assets held in consolidated VIEs are not available to us or to our creditors. We may not, under any circumstances, access third-party assets held by consolidated VIEs to use in our operating activities or otherwise. In addition, the investors in these consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the credit of JHG.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

The following table presents the carrying value of investments included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets pertaining to unconsolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 (in millions):

	*2024*		*2023*
Unconsolidated VIEs	$	16.5	$	17.2

Note 5 — Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments Used to Hedge Seeded Investment Products

We maintain an economic hedge program that uses derivative instruments to mitigate against market exposure of certain seeded investments by using index and commodity futures (“futures”), total return swaps and credit default swaps. Certain foreign currency exposures associated with our seeded investment products are also hedged by using foreign currency forward contracts.

We were party to the following derivative instruments as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 (in millions):

	*Notional value*
	*September 30, 2024*		*December 31, 2023*
Futures	$	545.4	$	1,018.0
Credit default swaps		129.3		199.7
Total return swaps		74.7		51.8
Foreign currency forward contracts		273.5		176.2

The derivative instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognized in investment gains (losses), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The changes in fair value of the derivative instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, are summarized as follows (in millions):

	*Three months ended*						*Nine months ended*
	*September 30,*						*September 30,*

Total gains (losses) from derivative instruments	$	(11.3	)	$	12.6		$	(23.6	)	$	4.1

Derivative assets and liabilities are generally recognized on a gross basis and included in other current assets or in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The derivative assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, are summarized as follows (in millions):

	*Fair value*
	*September 30, 2024*		*December 31, 2023*
Derivative assets	$	2.8	$	1.8
Derivative liabilities		11.3		16.7

In addition to using derivative instruments to mitigate against market exposure of certain seeded investments, we also engage in short sales of securities to mitigate against market exposure of certain seed investments. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the fair value of securities sold but not yet purchased was $33.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The cash received from the short sale and the obligation to repurchase the shares are classified in other current assets and in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Fair value adjustments are recognized in investment gains (losses), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Derivative Instruments Used in Consolidated Seeded Investment Products

Certain of our consolidated seeded investment products use derivative instruments to contribute to the achievement of defined investment objectives. These derivative instruments are classified within other current assets or in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses on these derivative instruments are classified within investment gains (losses), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Our consolidated seeded investment products were party to the following derivative instruments as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 (in millions):

	Notional value
	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

Derivative Instruments — Foreign Currency Hedging Program

We maintain a foreign currency hedging program to take reasonable measures to minimize the income statement effects of foreign currency remeasurement of monetary balance sheet accounts. The program uses foreign currency forward contracts and swaps to achieve its objectives, and it is considered an economic hedge for accounting purposes.

The notional value of the foreign currency forward contracts and swaps as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, is summarized as follows (in millions):

	*Notional value*
	*September 30, 2024*		*December 31, 2023*
Foreign currency forward contracts and swaps	$	56.2	$	65.3

The derivative assets and liabilities are generally recognized on a gross basis and included in other current assets or in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the derivative assets and liabilities were insignificant.

Changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognized in other non-operating income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency remeasurement is also recognized in other non-operating income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the change in fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts and swaps was insignificant.

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Our Level 1 fair value measurements consist mostly of investments held by consolidated and unconsolidated seeded investment products and cash equivalents with quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value level of consolidated investments held by seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of unconsolidated investments held in seeded investment products is determined by the net asset value, which is considered a quoted price in an active market.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Our Level 2 fair value measurements consist mostly of investments held by consolidated investment products and our long-term debt. The fair value level of consolidated investments held by seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of our long-term debt is determined using recent trading activity, which is considered a Level 2 input.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Investments

As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, certain investments within consolidated VIEs were valued using significant unobservable inputs, resulting in Level 3 classification.

Deferred Bonuses

Deferred bonuses represent liabilities to employees over the vesting period that will be settled by investments in our products or cash. Upon vesting, employees receive the value of the investment product selected by the participant, adjusted for gains or losses attributable to the product. The significant unobservable inputs used to value the liabilities are investment designations and vesting periods.

Changes in Fair Value

Changes in fair value of our Level 3 assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were as follows (in millions):

	*Three months ended*						*Nine months ended*

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements include goodwill and intangible assets. We measure the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets on initial recognition using discounted cash flow analysis that requires assumptions regarding projected future earnings and discount rates. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of these assets, such measurements are classified as Level 3.

4.875% Senior Notes Due 2025

The 4.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (“2025 Senior Notes”) have a principal value of $300.0 million as of September 30, 2024, pay interest at 4.875% semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and mature on August 1, 2025. The 2025 Senior Notes include unamortized debt premium, net at September 30, 2024, of $2.4 million. The unamortized debt premium is recorded as a current liability in long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. JHG fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc. in relation to the 2025 Senior Notes.

JHG’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc., has decided to redeem its 2025 Senior Notes on November 7, 2024, at the redemption price as outlined in the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated May 30, 2017. The notice of redemption has been issued to the holders of the 2025 Senior Notes, and the $300.0 million outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest through the redemption date will be settled with existing cash on hand from our balance sheet.

5.450% Senior Notes Due 2034

On September 10, 2024, we completed our private placement of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.450% Senior Notes due 2034 (“2034 Senior Notes”). The 2034 Senior Notes have a principal amount of $400.0 million as of September 30, 2024, pay interest at 5.450% semiannually on March 10 and September 10 of each year, and mature on September 10, 2034. The 2034 Senior Notes include unamortized debt discount, net at September 30, 2024, of $3.8 million, which will be accreted over the remaining life of the notes. The unamortized debt discount is recorded as a non-current contra liability in long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. JHG fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc. in relation to the 2034 Senior Notes.

Credit Facility

On June 30, 2023, we entered into a $200 million, unsecured, revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility includes an option for us to request an increase to our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of up to an additional $50.0 million. The Credit Facility had a maturity date of June 30, 2028, with two one-year extension options that can be exercised at the discretion of JHG with the lender’s consent on the first and second anniversary of the date of the agreement. We exercised the option to extend the term of the Credit Facility on the first anniversary of the agreement. The revised maturity date of the Credit Facility is June 30, 2029. JHG and its subsidiaries may use the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. The rate of interest for each interest period is the aggregate of the applicable margin, which is based on our long-term credit rating and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in relation to any loan in U.S. dollars (“USD”), the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) in relation to any loan in British pounds (“GBP”), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) in relation to any loan in euros (“EUR”) or the Bank Bill Swap Rate (“BBSW”) in relation to any loan in Australian dollars (“AUD”). We are also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion of the Credit Facility, which is based on our long-term credit rating. If our credit rating falls below a certain threshold, as defined in the Credit Facility, our financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x EBITDA. At September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants in, and there were no borrowings under, the Credit Facility.

Note 9 — Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

	*Three months ended*						*Nine months ended*
	*September 30,*						*September 30,*
	*2024*			*2023*			*2024*			*2023*
Effective tax rate		46.6	%		13.2	%		26.6	%		19.3	%

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in 2023, was impacted by the release of accumulated foreign currency translation reserves from liquidated JHG entities that are treated as non-deductible for tax purposes during the period. In addition, the tax rate was impacted by the disallowed noncontrolling interest expense from seeded investment products.

As of September 30, 2024, we had $26.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits held for uncertain tax positions. We estimate the existing liability for uncertain tax positions could decrease by up to $6.5 million within the next 12 months without giving effect to changes in foreign currency translation.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as “Pillar 2”), with certain aspects of Pillar 2 effective January 1, 2024, and other aspects effective January 1, 2025. On June 20, 2023, Finance (No. 2) Act 2023 was substantively enacted in the UK, introducing a global minimum effective tax rate of 15%. The legislation implements a domestic top-up tax and a multinational top-up tax, effective for accounting periods starting on or after December 31, 2023. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar 2, certain countries in which we operate have adopted legislation, and other countries are introducing legislation to implement Pillar 2. As of September 30, 2024, the impact of Pillar 2 on our effective tax rate, consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows was not significant to the financial statements.

Note 10 — Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Consolidated seeded investment products	$	493.5	$	317.2

Consolidated Seeded Investment Products

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products are classified as redeemable noncontrolling interests when there is an obligation to repurchase units at the investor’s request.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products may fluctuate from period to period and are impacted by changes in our relative ownership, changes in the amount of third-party investment in seeded products and volatility in the market value of the seeded products’ underlying securities. Third-party redemption of investments in any particular seeded product is redeemed from the respective product’s net assets and cannot be redeemed from the net assets of our other seeded products or from our other net assets.

The following table presents the movement in redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated seeded investment products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):

Litigation and Other Regulatory Matters

We are periodically involved in various legal proceedings and other regulatory matters.

Sandra Schissler v. Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc., Janus Henderson Advisory Committee, and John and Jane Does 1-30

On September 9, 2022, a class action complaint, captioned Schissler v. Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. Named as defendants are Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc. (“Janus US Holdings”) and the Advisory Committee to the Janus 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”). The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class consisting of participants and beneficiaries of the Plan that invested in Janus Henderson funds on or after September 9, 2016. On January 10, 2023, in response to the defendants’ motion to dismiss filed on November 23, 2022, an amended complaint was filed against the same defendants. The amended complaint names two additional plaintiffs, Karly Sissel and Derrick Hittson. As amended, the complaint alleges that for the period September 9, 2016, through September 9, 2022, among other things, the defendants breached fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence by (i) selecting higher-cost Janus Henderson funds over less expensive investment options, (ii) retaining Janus Henderson funds despite their alleged underperformance and (iii) failing to consider actively managed funds outside of Janus Henderson to add as investment options. The amended complaint also alleges that Janus US Holdings failed to monitor the Advisory Committee with respect to the foregoing. The amended complaint seeks various declaratory, equitable and monetary relief in unspecified amounts. On February 9, 2023, the defendants filed an amended motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 13, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an opposition to the amended motion to dismiss. The defendants filed their reply to the plaintiffs’ opposition on March 28, 2023. On September 7, 2023, a magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation, which recommended that the motion to dismiss be granted in part and denied in part. On September 21, 2023, the parties filed objections to the report and recommendation. Briefing on the parties’ objections concluded on October 12, 2023. On January 22, 2024, the district court judge adopted the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and entered an order granting in part and denying in part Janus US Holdings’ motion to dismiss. The parties are currently engaged in discovery. Janus US Holdings believes that it has substantial defenses and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q not based on historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those discussed. These include statements as to our future expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, events, conditions, financial performance, prospects or future events. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and similar words and phrases. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made and are not guarantees of future performance. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements.

Various risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates and inflation, volatility or disruption in financial markets, our investment performance as compared to third-party benchmarks or competitive products, redemptions and other withdrawals from the funds and accounts we manage, and other risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under headings such as “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” and in other filings or furnishings made by the Company with the SEC from time to time.

Business Overview

We are an independent global asset manager, specializing in active investment across all major asset classes. We actively manage a broad range of investment products for institutional and retail investors across four capabilities: Equities, Fixed Income, Multi-Asset and Alternatives. Our strategy revolves around three strategic pillars: Protect and Grow, Amplify, and Diversify, emphasizing relentless focus and disciplined execution in our core business for future success as a global active asset manager. Our strategy aims to foster sustained net new revenue and organic growth while also capitalizing on opportunistic inorganic growth opportunities to generate value for all of our stakeholders. We serve a diverse clientele worldwide, comprising intermediaries, institutional investors and self-directed clients. To cater to regional needs effectively, we maintain local presence across most markets and provide investment materials tailored to local customs, preferences and languages supported by our global distribution team.

Segment Considerations

We are a global asset manager and manage a range of investment products, operating across various product lines, distribution channels and geographic regions. However, information is reported to the chief operating decision-maker, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), on an aggregated basis. Strategic and financial management decisions are determined centrally by our CEO and, on this basis, we operate as a single-segment investment management business.

Revenue

Revenue primarily consists of management fees and performance fees. Management fees are generally based on a percentage of the market value of our assets under management (“AUM”) and are calculated using either the daily, month-end or quarter-end average asset balance in accordance with contractual agreements. Accordingly, fluctuations in the financial markets have a direct effect on our operating results. Additionally, our AUM may outperform or underperform the financial markets and, therefore, may fluctuate in varying degrees from that of the general market.

Performance fees are specified in certain fund and client contracts, and are based on investment performance either on an absolute basis or compared to an established index over a specified period of time. These fees are often subject to a high-water mark. Performance fees are recognized at the end of the contractual period (typically monthly, quarterly or annually) if the stated performance criteria are achieved. Certain fund contracts allow for negative performance fees where there is underperformance against the relevant index.

●

We recognized consecutive quarters of net inflows, with third quarter 2024 net inflows of $0.4 billion.

●

AUM increased to $382.3 billion, up 6% from June 30, 2024, and 24% from September 30, 2023.

Financial Summary

Results are reported on a U.S. GAAP basis. Adjusted non-GAAP figures are presented in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.

Revenue for the third quarter 2024 was $624.8 million, an increase of $103.8 million, or 20%, compared to the third quarter 2023. The key drivers of the increase were:

●

An increase of $67.9 million in management fees primarily due to a market-driven increase in average AUM compared to the third quarter 2023.

●

An increase of $24.4 million in performance fees primarily due to an improvement in the performance of Société d’Investissement à Capital Variable (“SICAVs”) and the U.S. mutual funds.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter 2024 were $460.1 million, an increase of $60.8 million, or 15%, compared to the third quarter 2023. Key drivers of the increase included:

●

An increase of $27.8 million in employee compensation and benefits primarily due to higher variable compensation charges as a result of an increase in operating income.

●

An increase of $17.7 million in distribution expenses primarily driven by an increase in average AUM.

Operating income for the third quarter 2024 was $164.7 million, an increase of $43.0 million, or 35%, compared to the third quarter 2023. Our operating margin was 26.4% in the third quarter 2024 compared to 23.4% in the third quarter 2023.

Net income attributable to JHG for the third quarter 2024 was $27.3 million, a decrease of $66.2 million, or 71%, compared to the third quarter 2023. In addition to the aforementioned factors affecting revenue and operating expenses, key drivers of the variance included:

●

A decline of $88.2 million in other non-operating income (expense), net, primarily due to a $111.9 million release of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments related to liquidated JHG entities.

●

A $30.4 million increase in our income tax provision, primarily due to higher operating income in the third quarter 2024.

Investment Performance of Assets Under Management

The following table is a summary of investment performance as of September 30, 2024:

Percentage of AUM outperforming benchmark⁽¹⁾	1 year			3 years			5 years			10 years
Equities		63	%		61	%		54	%		80	%
Fixed Income		98	%		81	%		89	%		93	%
Multi-Asset		97	%		96	%		97	%		97	%
Alternatives		84	%		94	%		100	%		100	%
Total		75	%		71	%		67	%		85	%

(1)

Outperformance is measured based on composite performance gross of fees versus primary benchmark, except where a strategy has no benchmark index or corresponding composite in which case the most relevant metric is used: (1) composite gross of fees versus zero for absolute return strategies, (2) fund net of fees versus primary index or (3) fund net of fees versus Morningstar peer group average or median. Non-discretionary and separately managed account assets are included with a corresponding composite where applicable. Cash management vehicles, ETF-enhanced beta strategies, legacy Tabula passive ETFs, Fixed Income Buy & Maintain mandates, legacy NBK Capital funds, Managed CDOs, Private Equity funds and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Excluded assets represent 3% of AUM for the period ended September 30, 2024.

Valuation of Assets Under Management

The fair value of our AUM is based on the value of the underlying cash and investment securities of our funds, trusts and segregated mandates. A significant proportion of these securities is listed or quoted on a recognized securities exchange or market and is regularly traded thereon; these investments are valued based on unadjusted quoted market prices. However, for non-U.S. equity securities held by U.S. mutual funds, excluding ETFs, the quoted market prices may be adjusted to capture market movement between the time the local market closes and the NYSE closes. Other investments, including over-the-counter derivative contracts (which are dealt in or through a clearing firm, exchanges or financial institutions), are valued by reference to the most recent official settlement price quoted by the appointed market vendor, and in the event no price is available from this source, a broker quotation may be used. Physical property held is valued monthly by a specialist independent appraiser.

When a readily ascertainable market value does not exist for an investment, the fair value is calculated using a variety of methodologies, including the expected cash flows of its underlying net asset base, taking into account applicable discount rates and other factors; comparable securities or relevant indices; recent financing rounds; revenue multiples; or a combination thereof. Judgment is used to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and to determine fair values when markets have become inactive. Our Fair Value Pricing committees are responsible for determining or approving these unquoted prices, which are reported to those charged with governance of the funds and trusts. For funds that invest in markets that are closed at their valuation point, an assessment is made daily to determine whether a fair value pricing adjustment is required to the fund’s valuation. This may be due to significant market movements in other correlated open markets, scheduled market closures or unscheduled market closures as a result of natural disaster or government intervention.

Third-party administrators hold a key role in the collection and validation of prices used in the valuation of the securities. Daily price validation is completed using techniques such as day-on-day tolerance movements, invariant prices, excessive movement checks and intra-vendor tolerance checks. Our data management team performs oversight of this process and completes annual due diligence on the processes of third parties.

In other cases, we and the sub-administrators perform a number of procedures to validate the pricing received from third-party providers. For actively traded equity and fixed income securities, prices are received daily from both a primary and secondary vendor. Prices from the primary and secondary vendors are compared to identify any discrepancies. In the event of a discrepancy, a price challenge may be issued to both vendors. Securities with significant day-to-day price changes require additional research, which may include a review of all news pertaining to the issue and issuer, and any corporate actions. All fixed income prices are reviewed by our fixed income trading desk to incorporate market activity information available to our traders. In the event the traders have received price indications from market makers for a particular issue, this information is transmitted to the pricing vendors.

We leverage the expertise of our fund management teams across the business to cross-invest assets and create value for our clients. Where cross investment occurs, assets and flows are identified, and the duplication is removed.

Results of Operations

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency translation impacts our results of operations. Revenue is impacted by foreign currency translation, but the impact is generally determined by the primary currency of the individual funds. Expenses are also impacted by foreign currency translation, primarily driven by the translation of GBP to USD. The GBP strengthened against the USD during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in 2023. Meaningful foreign currency translation impacts to our revenue and operating expenses are discussed below.

Management fees

Management fees increased by $67.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and by $162.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increases in management fees were primarily due to an improvement in average AUM.

Performance fees

Performance fees are derived across a number of product ranges. U.S. mutual fund performance fees are recognized on a monthly basis, while all other performance fees are recognized on a quarterly or annual basis. The investment management fees paid by each U.S. mutual fund subject to a performance fee is the base management fee plus or minus a performance fee adjustment, as determined by the relative investment performance of the fund, over a 36-month rolling period, compared to a specified benchmark index. Performance fees by product type consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Performance fees (in millions):
SICAVs	$	13.8		$	0.7		$	25.8		$	2.0
UK OEICs and unit trusts		0.2			—			5.8			—
Absolute return funds and other funds		3.3			0.4			3.3			1.2
Segregated mandates		0.2			0.6			0.9			0.5
Investment trusts		—			—			0.7			9.2
U.S. mutual funds		(8.9	)		(17.5	)		(33.6	)		(49.5	)
Total performance fees	$	8.6		$	(15.8	)	$	2.9		$	(36.6	)

Performance fees improved by $24.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to an improvement in performance of SICAVs and the U.S. mutual funds.

Performance fees improved by $39.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to an improvement in performance of SICAVs, UK Open Ended Investment Companies (“UK OEICs”) and unit trusts, and U.S. mutual funds. These improvements were partially offset by a decline in performance of certain investment trusts.

We estimate fourth quarter 2024 aggregate performance fees to be higher than fourth quarter 2023 performance fees, primarily due to strong investment performance of a certain hedge fund and an improvement in U.S. mutual fund performance fees. However, actual results will be dependent on investment performance over the remainder of 2024.

Shareowner servicing fees

Shareowner servicing fees are primarily composed of U.S. mutual fund servicing fees, which are driven by AUM. Shareowner servicing fees increased by $6.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and by $17.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increases in shareowner servicing fees were primarily due to an improvement in average mutual fund AUM.

Other revenue

Other revenue is primarily composed of 12b-1 distribution fees, general administration charges and other fee revenue. General administration charges include reimbursements from funds for various fees and expenses paid for by the investment manager on behalf of the funds. Other revenue increased by $5.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and by $12.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increases in other revenue were primarily due to an improvement in average AUM.

Employee compensation and benefits

Employee compensation and benefits increased by $27.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $22.3 million in variable compensation, mainly due to higher profitability, unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3.1 million and $2.4 million of base-pay increases.

Employee compensation and benefits increased by $71.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $57.1 million in variable compensation, mainly due to higher profitability, $7.2 million of base-pay increases and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $5.1 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we anticipate an adjusted compensation to revenue ratio in the range of 43% to 45%.

Long-term incentive plans

Long-term incentive plan expenses increased by $7.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to increases of $5.4 million driven by market appreciation of mutual fund share awards and certain long-term incentive awards, and $1.4 million for the roll-on of new awards and the acceleration of expense related to departed employees exceeding the roll-off of vested awards and the forfeiture of awards related to departed employees.

Long-term incentive plan expenses increased by $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase of $8.1 million driven by market appreciation of mutual fund share awards and certain long-term incentive awards. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $8.1 million for the roll-off of vested awards and the forfeiture of awards related to departed employees exceeding the roll-on of new awards and the acceleration of expense related to departed employees.

Distribution expenses

Distribution expenses are paid to financial intermediaries for the distribution and servicing of our retail investment products and are typically calculated based on the amount of the intermediary-sourced AUM. Distribution expenses increased by $17.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and by $40.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increases in distribution expenses were primarily due to an improvement in average AUM subject to distribution expenses.

Investment administration

Investment administration expenses, which represent fund administration and fund accounting, increased by $5.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and by $7.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increases in investment administration expenses were primarily due to contractual changes with a third-party vendor.

General, administrative and occupancy

General, administrative and occupancy expenses increased by $3.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $5.0 million increase in consultancy fees related to certain project costs, partially offset by a $2.7 million reduction in rent-related expenses.

General, administrative and occupancy expenses increased by $5.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $7.7 million increase in the amortization of capitalized cloud computing costs, primarily related to the order management system transformation project that was completed in the second quarter of 2023, and a $3.7 million increase in consultancy fees related to certain project costs. These increases were partially offset by a $4.7 million insurance reimbursement related to a separately managed account trade error that occurred in 2023 and a $3.3 million reduction in rent-related expenses.

2024 non-compensation operating expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we anticipate adjusted non-compensation expense growth in the higher end of mid- to high-single digits. The anticipated growth in our non-compensation expense is due to planned investments supporting our strategic initiatives including technology, marketing and advertising, anticipated inflation, amortization of certain capitalized costs and costs associated with acquisitions made in 2024. A portion of the expected fourth quarter expenses is seasonal or one-time in nature and, all else equal, an indicative quarterly run rate for non-compensation expenses will be lower going forward.

Investment gains (losses), net moved favorably by $40.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and by $45.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Movements in investment gains (losses), net are primarily due to the consolidation and deconsolidation of third-party ownership interests in seeded investment products and fair value adjustments in relation to our seeded investment products. In addition, a $12.5 million correction due to an error of previously recognized earnings associated with an equity method investment impacted investment gains (losses), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Gains and losses attributable to third-party ownership interests in seeded investment products are noncontrolling interests and are not included in net income attributable to JHG.

Other non-operating income (expense), net

Other non-operating income (expense), net moved unfavorably by $88.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a $111.9 million release of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments related to liquidated JHG entities. This decrease was partially offset by a $13.4 million provision for a credit loss and an $11.9 million contingent consideration fair value adjustment, which were both recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Other non-operating income (expense), net declined by $60.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a $95.4 million release of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments related to liquidated JHG entities. This decrease was partially offset by a $13.4 million provision for a credit loss and an $11.9 million contingent consideration fair value adjustment, which were both recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023, and a $10.1 million increase in interest income driven by higher interest rates on cash balances.

In October 2024, a certain non-operating JHG entity liquidated, and we recognized an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $42.6 million in other non-operating income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Income tax provision

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Effective tax rate		46.6	%		13.2	%		26.6	%		19.3	%

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in 2023, was impacted by the release of accumulated foreign currency translation reserves from liquidated JHG entities that are treated as non-deductible for tax purposes during the period. In addition, the tax rate was impacted by the disallowed noncontrolling interest expense from seeded investment products.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we expect our tax rate on adjusted net income attributable to JHG to be in the range of 23% to 25%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, we evaluate our profitability and our ongoing operations using additional non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate the business, and adjusted values are consistent with internal management reporting. We have provided a reconciliation below of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

We contract with third-party intermediaries to distribute and service certain of our investment products. Fees for distribution- and servicing-related activities are either provided for separately in an investment product’s prospectus or are part of the management fee. Under both arrangements, the fees are collected by us and passed through to third-party intermediaries who are responsible for performing the applicable services. The majority of distribution and servicing fees we collect are passed through to third-party intermediaries. JHG management believes that the deduction of distribution and servicing fees from revenue in the computation of adjusted revenue reflects the pass-through nature of these revenues. In certain arrangements, we perform the distribution and servicing activities and retain the applicable fee. Revenues for distribution and servicing activities performed by us are not deducted from GAAP revenue. In addition to the adjustments related to distribution and servicing activities, other revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, also includes an adjustment related to an employee secondment arrangement with a joint venture. The arrangement is pass-through in nature, and we believe the costs do not represent our ongoing operations.

(2)

Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2024, include acquisition-related expenses and the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense related to the departure of certain employees. Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2023, include rent expense, rent income and other rent-related adjustments associated with subleased office space, and the acceleration of long-term incentive plan expense related to the departure of certain employees. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations. Additionally, within the reconciliation of operating expenses to adjusted operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, employee compensation and benefits also includes an adjustment related to an employee secondment arrangement with a joint venture. The arrangement is pass-through in nature, and we believe the costs do not represent our ongoing operations.

(3)

Investment management contracts have been identified as a separately identifiable intangible asset arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses. Such contracts are recognized at the net present value of the expected future cash flows arising from the contracts at the date of acquisition. For segregated mandate contracts, the intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the contracts. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

(4)	Operating margin is operating income divided by revenue.

(5)	Adjusted operating margin is adjusted operating income divided by adjusted revenue.

(6)

Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2024, consist primarily of the release of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments related to JHG liquidated entities. The adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2023, includes a provision for a credit loss and contingent consideration fair value adjustment related to the 2022 sale of Intech Investment Management LLC. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

(7)

The tax impact of the adjustments is calculated based on the applicable U.S. or foreign statutory tax rate as it relates to each adjustment. Certain adjustments are either not taxable or not tax-deductible. Adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were impacted by the change to our state tax rate. As a result, the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities were revalued from 23.9% to 23.5%, creating a non-cash deferred tax benefit of $8.8 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

The following table summarizes key balance sheet data relating to our liquidity and capital resources as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 (in millions):

	September 30,		December 31,
	2024		2023
Cash and cash equivalents held by the Company	$	1,439.8	$	1,145.9
Investments held by the Company	$	524.3	$	399.2
Fees and other receivables	$	270.7	$	294.0
Long-term debt (including current portion of long-term debt)	$	698.6	$	304.6

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash held at banks, on-demand deposits, investments in money market instruments, highly liquid short-term debt securities and commercial paper with a maturity date of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents exclude cash held by consolidated VIEs and consolidated VREs, and investments exclude noncontrolling interests as these assets are not available for general corporate purposes.

Investments held by us represent seeded investment products (exclusive of noncontrolling interests), investments related to deferred compensation plans and other less significant investments classified as current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that existing cash and cash from operations should be sufficient to satisfy our short-term capital requirements. Expected short-term uses of cash include ordinary operating expenditures, seed capital investments, interest expense, dividend payments, income tax payments, common stock repurchases and redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes. We may also use available cash for other general corporate purposes and acquisitions.

Regulatory Capital

We are subject to regulatory oversight by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and other international regulatory bodies. We strive to ensure that we are compliant with our regulatory obligations at all times. Our primary capital requirement relates to the FCA-supervised regulatory group (a sub-group of our company), comprising Janus Henderson (UK) Holdings Limited, all of its subsidiaries and Janus Henderson Investors International Limited (“JHIIL”). JHIIL is included as a connected undertaking to meet the requirements of the Investment Firm Prudential Regime (“IFPR”) for Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID”) investment firms (“MIFIDPRU”). The combined capital requirement is £159.2 million ($213.5 million), resulting in £284.3 million ($381.3 million) of capital above the requirement as of September 30, 2024, based upon internal calculations and taking into account the effect of foreseeable dividends. The decrease in the surplus since June 30, 2024, is primarily due to a £19 million ($24.3 million) increase in the goodwill deduction from capital relating to the Tabula acquisition and an increase in the capital requirement following the conclusions drawn from our last Internal Capital Adequacy and Risk Assessment. Capital requirements in other jurisdictions are not significant in aggregate. The FCA-supervised regulatory group is also subject to liquidity requirements and holds a sufficient surplus above these requirements.

Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

2025 Senior Notes

The 2025 Senior Notes have a principal amount of $300.0 million, pay interest at 4.875% semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and mature on August 1, 2025.

JHG’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Janus Henderson US (Holdings) Inc., has decided to redeem its 2025 Senior Notes on November 7, 2024, at the redemption price as outlined in the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated May 30, 2017. The notice of redemption has been issued to the holders of the 2025 Senior Notes, and the $300.0 million outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest through the redemption date will be settled with existing cash on hand from our balance sheet.

Common Stock Purchases — Corporate Buyback Program

On May 1, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the 2024 Corporate Buyback Program to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock on the NYSE at any time prior to the date of our 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. As of September 30, 2024, cumulative shares repurchased under the 2024 Corporate Buyback Program were 1,908,473 for $66.9 million.

On October 30, 2024, our Board of Directors approved an incremental share buyback authorization to repurchase up to an additional $50.0 million of our common stock on the NYSE at any time prior to the date of our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

Common Stock Purchases — Share Plan Purchases

On May 1, 2024, our Board of Directors also approved the repurchase of up to 5 million additional shares of common stock to make grants to executives and employees at any time prior to the date of our 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. As of September 30, 2024, cumulative shares repurchased under the 2024 Share Plan Repurchases were 250,001 shares for $8.6 million.

Dividends

The payment of cash dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on many factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and legal requirements.

Dividends declared and paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were as follows:

Dividend		Date	Dividends paid		Date
per share		declared	(in US$ millions)		paid
$	0.39	January 31, 2024	$	63.2	February 28, 2024
$	0.39	May 1, 2024	$	62.6	May 29, 2024
$	0.39	July 31, 2024	$	62.3	August 28, 2024

On October 30, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a $0.39 per share dividend for the third quarter 2024. The quarterly dividend will be paid on November 27, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 11, 2024.

Long-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

Expected long-term commitments as of September 30, 2024, include principal and interest payments related to the 2034 Senior Notes and operating and finance lease payments. We expect to fund our long-term commitments with existing cash and cash generated from operations or by accessing capital and credit markets as necessary.

2034 Senior Notes

On September 10, 2024, we completed our private placement of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2034 Senior Notes. The 2034 Senior Notes pay interest at 5.450% semiannually on March 10 and September 10 of each year and mature on September 10, 2034.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

As of December 31, 2023, our defined benefit pension plan had a net retirement asset of $85.3 million.

Other Sources of Liquidity

On June 30, 2023, we entered into a $200 million unsecured, revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Facility includes an option for us to request an increase to our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of up to an additional $50.0 million. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is June 30, 2029.

Table of Contents

The Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and bears interest on borrowings outstanding at the relevant interbank offer rate plus a spread.

The Credit Facility contains a financial covenant with respect to leverage. Should our long-term credit rating fall below a predefined threshold, our financing leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.00x EBITDA. At the latest practicable date before the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants, and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. Refer to Note 8 — Debt for further information on the Credit Facility.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was as follows (in millions):

	Nine months ended
	September 30,
	2024			2023

Other, net		0.7			(0.1	)
Cash used for investing activities	$	(329.7	)	$	(242.1	)

We periodically add new investment strategies to our investment product offerings by providing the initial cash investment, or seeding, in a product. The primary purpose of seeded investment products is to generate an investment performance track record in these products and leverage that track record to attract third-party investors. We may redeem our seed capital investments for a variety of reasons, including when third-party investments in the relevant product are sufficient to sustain the investment strategy. The cash associated with seeding and redeeming seeded investment products is reflected in the above table as purchases of investments, net.

We consolidate certain seeded investment products into our group financial statements. The purchases and sales of investments within consolidated seeded investment products are disclosed separately from our capital contributions to seed a product. We also maintain an economic hedge program that uses derivative instruments to mitigate against market exposure of certain seeded investments. The cash received and paid as part of this program is reflected in the table above.

The transactions discussed above represent a majority of the activity within investing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by (used for) financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was as follows (in millions):

	Nine months ended
	September 30,
	2024			2023
Dividends paid to shareholders	$	(188.1	)	$	(194.0	)
Third-party capital invested into consolidated seeded investment products, net		221.8			174.5
Purchase of common stock for stock-based compensation plans		(80.0	)		(57.3	)
Purchase of common stock for the share buyback program		(155.1	)		—
Issuance of long-term debt		396.2			—
Other, net		(0.3	)		1.0
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities	$	194.5		$	(75.8	)

The majority of cash flows within financing activities were driven by the issuance of long-term debt, third-party capital invested into consolidated seeded investment products, net, payment of dividends to shareholders, and the purchase of common stock as part of the 2024 Corporate Buyback Program and for stock-based compensation plans. Third-party capital invested into consolidated seeded investment products, net represents the cash received from third-party investors in a seeded investment product that is consolidated into our group financial statements. When a third-party investor redeems the investment, a cash outflow is disclosed as a distribution.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, information from third-party professionals, as appropriate, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2024, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed by us to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rule and forms the information we must disclose in reports that we file with or submit to the SEC. Ali Dibadj, our CEO, and Roger Thompson, our Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in management’s evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Dibadj and Mr. Thompson concluded that as of the date of their evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the third quarter 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
