Janus Announces Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2008 Results

Janus Capital Group Inc. (NYSE: JNS) today reported fourth quarter net income from continuing operations of $7.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $26.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2008 and $51.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2007. For the full-year 2008, net income from continuing operations totaled $138.4 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, compared with $192.0 million, or $1.07 per diluted share for 2007. The company’s operating margin for the fourth quarter 2008 was 25.5% compared with 33.9% for the third quarter 2008 and 29.0% for the fourth quarter 2007. For the entire year, operating margin was 32.1% compared with 31.3% for 2007.

Flows and Assets Under Management

As a result of the recent difficult market environment, average assets under management declined 32% to $124.3 billion during the fourth quarter 2008. At December 31, 2008, the company’s total assets under management were $123.5 billion compared with $160.5 billion at September 30, 2008 and $206.7 billion at December 31, 2007.

The decrease in firmwide assets during the fourth quarter reflects $34.0 billion of net market depreciation and $3.0 billion of long-term net outflows. The decrease in year-over-year assets was primarily the result of $77.6 billion of net market depreciation.

Investment Performance

Relative long-term investment performance remained strong with approximately 55%, 79% and 83% of firmwide mutual funds in the top half of their Lipper categories on a one-, three- and five-year total-return basis, respectively, as of December 31, 2008.2 In addition, 50% of firmwide mutual funds have a 4- or 5-star Overall Morningstar RatingTM at December 31, 2008.3

Despite near-term underperformance, Janus-managed equity mutual funds continue to outperform the majority of peers over longer periods with 41%, 74% and 79% of equity mutual funds ranking in the top half of their Lipper categories on a one-, three- and five-year total return basis, respectively, as of December 31, 2008.2

INTECH’s relative investment performance rebounded in 2008 with 83%, 56%, 100% and 100% of strategies outperforming their respective benchmarks over the one-, three-, five- and 10-year periods, as of December 31, 2008.

Perkins continues to deliver strong investment performance with the Mid Cap Value and Small Cap Value mutual funds ranked in the top 15% of their Lipper categories on a one-, three- and five-year total-return basis as of December 31, 2008.4

"The investments we've made in the business have positioned the firm for the future,” said Janus’ CEO Gary Black. "We've broadened our product offerings, expanded our global distribution footprint and strengthened our value franchise with the acquisition of an additional interest in Perkins. These investments, coupled with continued strong long-term performance, position the firm for long-term success once equity markets recover.”

Continuing Operations

Fourth quarter 2008 revenues of $177.1 million decreased 35.7% from the previous quarter due to lower average assets under management, driven primarily by declining global markets. Operating expenses decreased $50.2 million, or 27.6%, from the previous quarter as a result of lower incentive compensation, asset-based distribution costs and administrative expenses.

The deterioration in market conditions and average assets under management significantly impacted operating margin and results in the fourth quarter 2008, and will continue to pressure financial results in 2009. In response, Janus took action to reduce 2009 fixed and discretionary expenses by approximately $40 million to $45 million and expects variable expenses to continue to flex with revenues.

Non-operating items for the fourth quarter 2008 include a mark-to-market loss of $21.6 million (or $0.07 per share) on Janus’ seed capital investments compared to an $11.3 million loss in the third quarter 2008. In an effort to mitigate future volatility in its seed capital investments, Janus implemented a hedge strategy in late 2008. Third quarter 2008 also includes a $21.0 million impairment charge ($13.0 million net of tax, or $0.08 per share) associated with structured investment vehicle securities issued by Stanfield Victoria Funding LLC ("Stanfield”).

Perkins Investment Management Acquisition

On December 31, 2008, Janus increased its ownership of Perkins Investment Management LLC (formerly known as Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC) to approximately 80.0% with the acquisition of an additional 50% interest for $90.0 million. The acquisition of Perkins is expected to be accretive to 2009 earnings. Additionally, Perkins hired Peter Q. Thompson as CEO and expanded its product offerings with the launch of the Perkins Large Cap Value Fund.

Institutional Money Market

On January 21, 2009, Janus announced to clients a plan to exit its institutional money market business, which includes the Janus Institutional Cash Management Fund, Janus Institutional Money Market Fund and Janus Institutional Government Money Market Fund, by April 30, 2009. Janus is taking this action to focus resources on its core businesses.

Capital and Liquidity

At December 31, 2008, Janus had stockholders’ equity of $1.6 billion, cash and investments of $408 million and $1.1 billion of outstanding debt. Given the current market conditions, Janus suspended stock buybacks in the fourth quarter 2008 to preserve liquidity and financial flexibility.

(2) Ranking is for the investor share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.
‡ In accordance with FINRA regulations, Lipper rankings cannot be publicly disclosed for time periods of less than one year.

Data presented reflects past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Strong ratings are not indicative of positive fund performance. 2008 absolute performance for most funds was negative. © 2008 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Notes:
(1) Closed to new investors.
(2) Rating is for this share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.

For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating TM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of the funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)
