together with its subsidiaries, "Artio Global" or the "Company") today
reported its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
FinancialUpdate
Adjusted1 net income attributable to Artio Global Investors
of $15.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of
2011 (GAAP net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $6.4
million, or $0.11 per diluted share)
Assets under management of $34.3 billion as of September 30, 2011
Investment management fees of $65.6 million for the third quarter of
2011
Effective fee rate2 of 62.4 basis points for the third
quarter of 2011
Adjusted operating margin of 50.0% for the third quarter of 2011
Quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share on Class A common stock
The Company's GAAP results include a previously announced compensation
charge (the "Compensation Charge") of $7.6 million related to
organizational changes designed to lower the Company's operating costs
and more efficiently manage resources for current business conditions.
The Compensation Charge reduced GAAP net income attributable to Artio
Global Investors by $0.08 per diluted share for the third quarter of
2011. The Company's adjusted results exclude the Compensation Charge.
The Company's adjusted results for all periods assume the Principals'3
non-controlling interests have been fully exchanged for shares of Class
A common stock and exclude the amortization of restricted stock units
("RSUs") granted at the time of the Company's initial public offering
("IPO"). Adjusted results are presented to provide more meaningful
comparisons between periods.
The Company's adjusted non-operating loss for the third quarter of 2011
of $4.7 million (GAAP non-operating loss of $6.2 million) includes
non-operating losses of $4.3 million on seed capital investments,
primarily reflecting market depreciation.
For the third quarter of 2011, adjusted net income attributable to Artio
Global Investors was $15.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, a
decrease of 32% and 31%, respectively, from adjusted net income
attributable to Artio Global Investors of $23.3 million, or $0.39 per
diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011, and a decrease in each
case of 33% from adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global
Investors of $23.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the third
quarter of 2010.
On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Artio Global Investors for
the third quarter of 2011 was $6.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share,
a decrease of 70% and 69%, respectively, from net income attributable to
Artio Global Investors of $21.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for
the second quarter of 2011, and a decrease in each case of 68% from
adjusted net income attributable to Artio Global Investors of $20.0
million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010.
For the first nine months of 2011, adjusted net income attributable to
Artio Global Investors was $63.4 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, a
decrease in each case of 16% from adjusted net income attributable to
Artio Global Investors of $75.7 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, for
the first nine months of 2010.
On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Artio Global Investors for
the first nine months of 2011 was $49.6 million, or $0.85 per diluted
share, a decrease of 14% and 25%, respectively, from net income
attributable to Artio Global Investors of $57.8 million, or $1.13 per
diluted share, for the first nine months of 2010.
The following tables compare the Company's GAAP results and adjusted
results. See Exhibits 3 - 5 of this news release for a reconciliation of
GAAP results to adjusted results.

Management Commentary
"The third quarter saw sharply lower equity markets and a return to
heightened levels of volatility," said Richard Pell, Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer. "Against this market
backdrop, it proved to be a challenging quarter for our International
Equity strategies, although we were pleased to see some moderation in
outflows from our open International Equity II strategy. We continue to
have a high degree of conviction in our portfolio positioning,
particularly around the rise of the emerging market consumer, taking a
considered long?term approach even at the risk of short?term
underperformance."
"We are encouraged by the potential for growth within our fixed income
strategies that will serve to diversify our business. During the third
quarter, our High Grade Fixed Income strategy increased its asset base,
and produced another quarter of strong performance relative to its peer
group. After the recent sell?off, high yield is increasingly being
viewed as under?priced, with industry fund flows swinging back to
positive since quarter end. Given our strategy's strong long?term
performance, we believe that we are well?positioned to participate."
"On the equity side, we also remain confident that our four US Equity
strategies are well-positioned to generate inflows, given the strength
of their three- and five-year track records. Although US investors
currently lack focus on the asset class, we are encouraged by the early
stage inquiries that we are seeing from European investors."
"Additionally, we announced organizational changes during the third
quarter designed to right?size our business and repurchased stock as
part of our ongoing capital management."
Third Quarter of 2011 Comparison with Third Quarter of 2010
Assets Under Management and Net Client Cash Flows
Assets under management were $34.3 billion as of September 30, 2011,
down $19.6 billion, or 36%, from $53.9 billion as of September 30, 2010,
due to net client cash outflows and market depreciation.
Net client cash outflows for the third quarter of 2011 were $4.2
billion, driven primarily by net client cash outflows from our
International Equity I and II strategies, and our High Yield strategy.8
Revenues and Other Operating Income
Revenues and other operating income for the third quarter of 2011
totaled $63.8 million, down 21% from $80.9 million for the third quarter
of 2010. The decrease was driven primarily by lower investment
management fees of $65.6 million for the third quarter of 2011, down 18%
from $80.2 million for the third quarter of 2010, due primarily to lower
average assets under management.
Expenses
Employee Compensation and Benefits
For the third quarter of 2011, adjusted employee compensation and
benefits expenses were $17.7 million, down 20% from $22.2 million for
the third quarter of 2010. The decrease was due primarily to lower
incentive compensation accruals, partly offset by accruals related to
the Company's long-term incentive plan implemented in 2011.
GAAP employee compensation and benefits expenses for the third quarter
of 2011 were $28.4 million, up 15% from $24.8 million for the third
quarter of 2010, due primarily to the Compensation Charge, partly offset
by the reasons noted above.
Shareholder Servicing and Marketing Expenses
Shareholder servicing and marketing expenses for the third quarter of
2011 were $4.7 million, down 6% from $5.0 million for the third quarter
of 2010, driven primarily by lower marketing expenses and a decline in
custody fees.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were
$9.5 million, a decrease of 16% from $11.2 million for the third quarter
of 2010, due primarily to a decline in client-related trading errors and
lower professional fees.
Income Taxes
For the third quarter of 2011, the adjusted effective tax rate was
41.4%, 2.0 percentage points lower than the 43.4% adjusted effective tax
rate for the third quarter of 2010. The decrease was due primarily to a
lower apportionment of income for state and local tax purposes in the
third quarter of 2011.
The GAAP effective tax rate was 64.9% for the third quarter of 2011,
17.5 percentage points higher than the 47.4% GAAP effective tax rate for
the third quarter of 2010. The increase was due primarily to a larger
impact in the third quarter of 2011 from the write-off of deferred tax
assets related to the vesting of RSUs granted at the time of the IPO, at
prices below their grant date fair value, and the inability to record a
tax benefit on non-operating losses attributable to the non-controlling
interests' economic ownership in the Consolidated Investment Products.
Third Quarter of 2011 Comparison with Second Quarter of 2011
Assets Under Management
Assets under management were $34.3 billion as of September 30, 2011, a
decrease of $12.6 billion, or 27%, from $46.8 billion as of June 30,
2011, due to market depreciation of $8.4 billion and net client cash
outflows of $4.2 billion.
Revenues and Other Operating Income
Revenues and other operating income for the third quarter of 2011
totaled $63.8 million, down 18% from $78.2 million for the second
quarter of 2011, driven primarily by lower investment management fees.
Investment management fees were $65.6 million for the third quarter of
2011, down 16% from $78.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, due
primarily to a decrease in average assets under management.
Expenses
Employee Compensation and Benefits
For the third quarter of 2011, adjusted employee compensation and
benefits expenses were $17.7 million, down 24% from $23.2 million for
the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to a decrease in incentive
compensation accruals.
GAAP employee compensation and benefits expenses for the third quarter
of 2011 were $28.4 million, up 10% from $25.8 million for the second
quarter of 2011, due primarily to the Compensation Charge, partly offset
by the reason noted above.
Shareholder Servicing and Marketing Expenses
Shareholder servicing and marketing expenses for the third quarter of
2011 were $4.7 million, a decrease of 9% from $5.2 million for the
second quarter of 2011, due primarily to a decrease in marketing
expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $9.5 million for the third
quarter of 2011, a decrease of 9% from $10.4 million for the second
quarter of 2011, due primarily to lower professional fees.
Income Taxes
For the third quarter of 2011, the adjusted effective tax rate was
41.4%, 0.5 percentage points higher than the 40.9% adjusted effective
tax rate for the second quarter of 2011.
The GAAP effective tax rate was 64.9% for the third quarter of 2011,
24.3 percentage points higher than the 40.6% GAAP effective tax rate for
the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to the write-off of deferred
tax assets related to the vesting of RSUs granted at the time of the
IPO, at a price below their grant date fair value, and the inability to
record a tax benefit on non-operating losses attributable to the
non-controlling interests' economic ownership in the Consolidated
Investment Products.
Liquidity and Capital
As of September 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
(excluding amounts held in consolidated investment products) of $89.2
million, investments held for deferred compensation of $9.8 million and
an undrawn $100.0 million committed revolving credit facility. During
the third quarter of 2011, in accordance with the terms of the credit
agreement, the Company repaid $4.5 million of its term debt facility,
reducing the outstanding balance to $42.0 million.
Total stockholders' equity on the Statement of Financial Position was
$153.7 million as of September 30, 2011, compared to $103.6 million as
of December 31, 2010.
Share Repurchase
During the third quarter of 2011 the Company repurchased and retired
773,939 shares of Class A common stock at an average cost of $8.77 in
connection with the 3,000,000 share repurchase program previously
announced. As of September 30, 2011, the Company retains authorization
to repurchase 2,226,061 shares of its common stock through December 31,
2013.
Shares
As of September 30, 2011, the total number of shares of Class A and
Class B common stock outstanding was 59,251,113.
On September 29, 2011, in accordance with the Company's certificate of
incorporation, 16,755,844 shares of Class C common stock held by our
former sole stockholder, GAM Holding AG, were converted to an equal
amount of shares of Class A common stock.
For purposes of calculating adjusted earnings per diluted share, the
Principals' New Class A Units, held in the intermediate holding company
as of the beginning of the period are assumed to have been fully
exchanged into shares of Class A common stock on the first day of the
period.
Dividend
On October 24, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.06
per share on the Class A common stock for the third quarter of 2011,
which is payable on November 22, 2011, to stockholders of record as of
the close of business on November 9, 2011.

In addition to historical information, this news release may, and the
related remarks do, contain forward?looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including statements regarding the intrinsic value of our common stock,
investor behavior, net client cash flows, our compensation costs and
adjusted compensation ratio, future tax rate, use of our free cash flow,

forward?looking statements are based on the Company's current
assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. Words
like "believe", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "expect", "project",
and similar expressions are used to identify forward?looking statements,
although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These
forward?looking statements discuss matters that necessarily involve a
number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward?looking
statements.
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ from those
expressed or implied by a forward?looking statement are those described
in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the
Company's report on Form 10?K (File No. 001?34457) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011. Other unknown

Fund Performance and Other Disclaimers
Lipper rankings are for Class I mutual fund shares with three- and
five-year track records only. Other classes may have different
performance characteristics. Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Reuters, provides independent insight on global collective investments
including mutual funds, retirement funds, hedge funds and fund fees and
expenses to the asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the
performance of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have
similar investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital
gains and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads.
If an expense waiver was in effect, it may have had a material effect on
the total return or yield for the period.
Morningstar rankings are for Class I mutual fund shares with a minimum
three-year track record. For each mutual fund with at least a three-year
history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating? 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 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.) The Overall Morningstar
Rating for a mutual fund is derived from a weighted average of the
performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if
applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. A fund's independent Morningstar
Rating metric is then compared against the mutual fund universe
breakpoints to determine its hypothetical rating.
This news release is not, and should not be considered, sales material
and is not an offer or a solicitation for any securities.

ARTIO GLOBAL INVESTORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Adjusted Consolidated
Statements of Income
Management believes the Non-GAAP adjustments set forth below provide
more meaningful comparisons between periods. Additional information
on the
reorganization of the Company's ownership structure and the relating
non-recurring items are discussed in the Company's prospectus dated
September 23, 2009.
(a)
Adjustments to exclude the amortization expense associated with the
RSUs awarded at the time of the IPO from all periods presented, as
the granting of
the awards was one-time in nature.
The three and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2011 also exclude the
Compensation Charge, as this was non-recurring.
(b)
The adjustments to income taxes for all periods presented reflect
the tax effect of the assumed full exchange of the Principals'
non-controlling interests for
Class A common stock on the first day of the respective period,
since prior to such exchange, income tax expense excludes the U.S.
federal and state
taxes for the income attributable to the Principals and an
adjustment to reflect the tax effects of excluding the amortization
expense associated with the
RSUs awarded at the time of the IPO.
The three and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2011 also include an
adjustment to reflect the tax effect of excluding the Compensation
Charge.
(c)
Adjustment to eliminate the Principals' non-controlling interests
which are assumed to be exchanged for Class A common stock on the
first day of the
respective period.
(d)
Diluted shares outstanding assumes the Principals have fully
exchanged their New Class A Units in Artio Global Holdings LLC for
shares of the Company's
Class A common stock.
(e)
Adjustments to eliminate third party investors' economic interests
in the Consolidated Investment Products from both Net loss
attributable to non-controlling
interests in the Consolidated Investment Products and Non-operating
loss. Management believes these adjustments provide a more useful
measure for
comparing Non-operating loss between periods.

Lipper, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reuters, provides independent
insight on global collective investments including mutual funds,
retirement funds, hedge funds and fund fees and expenses to the
asset management and media communities. Lipper ranks the performance
of mutual funds within a classification of funds that have similar
investment objectives. Rankings are historical with capital gains
and dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of loads. If
an expense waiver was in effect, it may have had a material effect
on the total return or yield for the period.
The Artio Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund was launched in May 2011
and is not yet ranked or rated in any of the above categories.
