Franklin Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: BEN) today
announced net income1 of $124.2 million or $0.23 per diluted share
for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $251.3 million
or $0.50 per diluted share for the previous quarter, and $194.2
million or $0.38 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31,
2023. Operating income was $129.3 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2024, as compared to $206.5 million for the previous
quarter and $255.1 million for the prior year.
As supplemental information, the Company is providing certain
adjusted performance measures which are based on methodologies
other than generally accepted accounting principles. Adjusted net
income2 was $306.6 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share2
was $0.56 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as compared to
$328.5 million and $0.65 for the previous quarter, and $316.7
million and $0.61 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted
operating income2 was $419.6 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2024, as compared to $417.0 million for the previous quarter
and $440.2 million for the prior year.
“Our efforts to deepen client relationships and further
diversify our firm are yielding positive results with contributions
across asset classes, investment vehicles and geographies,” said
Jenny Johnson, President and CEO of Franklin Resources, Inc.
“During our second fiscal quarter, these results included long-term
net inflows of $6.9 billion. Fixed income, multi-asset and
alternative assets led the way from an asset class perspective, and
our three largest alternative managers generated a combined total
of $1.4 billion in net inflows in the quarter. Positive net flows
continued across our separately managed account, ETF and Canvas®
offerings and we once again saw aggregate positive net flows in
non-US regions, which have approximately $490 billion in AUM. At
quarter end, our institutional pipeline of won-but-unfunded
mandates grew to nearly $20 billion.
“The closing of our acquisition of Putnam Investments in January
expanded our investment capabilities with strong investment
performance. During the quarter, Barron’s ranked Putnam the #1 fund
family for one- and five-year performance, and #5 for the 10-year
period.3 The transaction also bolsters our relevance in the
important insurance and retirement channels, bringing our AUM in
this segment to over $650 billion.
“We continue to focus on disciplined expense management while
leveraging our net cash and investments position to invest in
growth and innovation to stay ahead of client needs to benefit our
stakeholders.”

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As supplemental information, we are providing performance
measures for “adjusted operating income,” “adjusted operating
margin,” “adjusted net income” and “adjusted diluted earnings per
share,” each of which is based on methodologies other than
generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP measures”).
Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful indicators
of our financial performance and may be helpful to investors in
evaluating our relative performance against industry peers.
“Adjusted operating income,” “adjusted operating margin,”
“adjusted net income” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share” are
defined below, followed by reconciliations of operating income,
operating margin, net income attributable to Franklin Resources,
Inc. and diluted earnings per share on a U.S. GAAP basis to these
non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in
isolation from, or as substitutes for, any financial information
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to
other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additional
reconciling items may be added in the future to these non-GAAP
measures if deemed appropriate.
Adjusted Operating Income
We define adjusted operating income as operating income adjusted
to exclude the following:
- Elimination of operating revenues upon consolidation of
investment products.
- Acquisition-related items:
- Acquisition-related retention compensation.
- Other acquisition-related expenses including professional fees,
technology costs and fair value adjustments related to contingent
consideration assets and liabilities.
- Amortization of intangible assets.
- Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, if any.
- Special termination benefits related to workforce optimization
initiatives related to past acquisitions and certain initiatives
undertaken by the Company.
- Impact on compensation and benefits expense from gains and
losses on investments related to deferred compensation plans, which
is offset in investment and other income (losses), net.
- Impact on compensation and benefits expense related to minority
interests in certain subsidiaries, which is offset in net income
(loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Adjusted Operating Margin
We calculate adjusted operating margin as adjusted operating
income divided by adjusted operating revenues. We define adjusted
operating revenues as operating revenues adjusted to exclude the
following:
- Elimination of operating revenues upon consolidation of
investment products.
- Acquisition-related performance-based investment management
fees which are passed through as compensation and benefits
expense.
- Sales and distribution fees and a portion of investment
management fees allocated to cover sales, distribution and
marketing expenses paid to the financial advisers and other
intermediaries who sell our funds on our behalf.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per
Share
We define adjusted net income as net income attributable to
Franklin Resources, Inc. adjusted to exclude the following:
- Activities of CIPs.
- Acquisition-related items:
- Acquisition-related retention compensation.
- Other acquisition-related expenses including professional fees,
technology costs and fair value adjustments related to contingent
consideration assets and liabilities.
- Amortization of intangible assets.
- Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, if any.
- Write off of noncontrolling interests related to the wind down
of an acquired business.
- Interest expense for amortization of Legg Mason debt premium
from acquisition-date fair value adjustment.
- Special termination benefits related to workforce optimization
initiatives related to past acquisitions and certain initiatives
undertaken by the Company.
- Net gains or losses on investments related to deferred
compensation plans which are not offset by compensation and
benefits expense.
- Net compensation and benefits expense related to minority
interests in certain subsidiaries not offset by net income (loss)
attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.
- Unrealized investment gains and losses.
- Net income tax expense of the above adjustments based on the
respective blended rates applicable to the adjustments.
We define adjusted diluted earnings per share as diluted
earnings per share adjusted to exclude the per share impacts of the
adjustments applied to net income in calculating adjusted net
income.
In calculating our non-GAAP measures, we adjust for the impact
of CIPs because it is not considered reflective of our underlying
results of operations. Acquisition-related items and special
termination benefits are excluded to facilitate comparability to
other asset management firms. We adjust for compensation and
benefits expense related to funded deferred compensation plans
because it is partially offset in other income (expense), net. We
adjust for compensation and benefits expense and net income (loss)
attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests to reflect the
economics of certain profits interest arrangements. Sales and
distribution fees and a portion of investment management fees
generally cover sales, distribution and marketing expenses and,
therefore, are excluded from adjusted operating revenues. In
addition, when calculating adjusted net income and adjusted diluted
earnings per share we exclude unrealized investment gains and
losses included in investment and other income (losses) because the
related investments are generally expected to be held long
term.
The calculations of adjusted operating income, adjusted
operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings
per share are as follows:

Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements herein may include forward-looking
statements that reflect our current views with respect to future
events, financial performance and market conditions. Such
statements are provided under the “safe harbor” protection of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements include all statements that do not relate solely to
historical or current facts and generally can be identified by
words or phrases written in the future tense and/or preceded by
words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “depends,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,”
“potential,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or other similar
words or variations thereof, or the negative thereof, but these
terms are not the exclusive means of identifying such
statements.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause
actual results and outcomes to differ materially from any future
results or outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements, including market and volatility risks, investment
performance and reputational risks, global operational risks,
competition and distribution risks, third-party risks, technology
and security risks, human capital risks, cash management risks, and
legal and regulatory risks. While forward-looking statements are
our best prediction at the time that they are made, you should not
rely on them and are cautioned against doing so. Forward-looking
statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions
regarding our business, the economy and other possible future
conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the
future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and
changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. They are
neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances
of future performance. Factors or events that could cause our
actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is
not possible for us to predict all of them.
These and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors
are described in more detail in our recent filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation,
in Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and our
subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. If a circumstance occurs
after the date of this press release that causes any of our
forward-looking statements to be inaccurate, whether as a result of
new information, future developments or otherwise, we undertake no
obligation to announce publicly the change to our expectations, or
to make any revision to our forward-looking statements, to reflect
any change in assumptions, beliefs or expectations, or any change
in events, conditions or circumstances upon which any
forward-looking statement is based, unless required by law.
