ARTISAN PARTNERS ASSET MANAGEMENT INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(U.S. currencies in thousands, except per share or per unit amounts and as otherwise indicated)
Note 1. Nature of Business and Organization
Nature of Business
Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (“APAM”), through its subsidiaries, is an investment management firm focused on providing high-value added, active investment strategies to sophisticated clients globally. APAM and its subsidiaries are hereafter referred to collectively as “Artisan” or the “Company”.
Artisan’s autonomous investment teams manage a broad range of U.S., non-U.S. and global investment strategies that are diversified by asset class, market cap and investment style. Strategies are offered through multiple investment vehicles to accommodate a broad range of client mandates. Artisan offers its investment management services primarily to institutions and through intermediaries that operate with institutional-like decision-making processes and have long-term investment horizons.
Organization
On March 12, 2013, APAM completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”). APAM was formed for the purpose of becoming the general partner of Artisan Partners Holdings LP (“Artisan Partners Holdings” or “Holdings”) in connection with the IPO. Holdings is a holding company for the investment management business conducted under the name “Artisan Partners”. The reorganization (“IPO Reorganization”) established the necessary corporate structure to complete the IPO while at the same time preserving the ability of the firm to conduct operations through Holdings and its subsidiaries.
As the sole general partner, APAM controls the business and affairs of Holdings. As a result, APAM consolidates Holdings’ financial statements and records a noncontrolling interest for the equity interests in Holdings held by the limited partners of Holdings. At September 30, 2018, APAM held approximately 70% of the equity ownership interest in Holdings.
Holdings, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Artisan Investments GP LLC (“AIGP”), controls a 100% interest in Artisan Partners Limited Partnership (“APLP”), a multi-product investment management firm that is the principal operating subsidiary of Artisan Partners Holdings. APLP is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. APLP provides investment advisory services to separate accounts, including privately offered funds, and pooled investment vehicles, including Artisan Partners Funds, Inc. (“Artisan Funds”) and Artisan Partners Global Funds plc (“Artisan Global Funds”). Artisan Funds are a series of open-end, diversified mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Artisan Global Funds is a family of Ireland-domiciled UCITS.
2018 Follow-On Offering
On February 27, 2018, APAM completed a registered offering of 644,424 shares of Class A common stock (the “2018 Follow-On Offering”) and utilized all of the proceeds to purchase an aggregate of 644,424 common units of Artisan Partners Holdings at a price per unit of $33.33. The offering and subsequent purchase of units had the following impact on the consolidated financial statements:
| |
• | APAM received 644,424 GP units of Holdings, which increased APAM’s ownership interest in Holdings. See Note 7, “Noncontrolling interest - Holdings” for the financial statement impact of changes in ownership. |
| |
• | APAM’s purchase of common units of Holdings with the proceeds resulted in an increase to deferred tax assets and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreements. See Note 11, “Income Taxes and Related Payments”. |
Holdings Unit Exchanges
Limited partners of Artisan Partners Holdings are entitled to exchange partnership units (along with a corresponding number of shares of Class B or C common stock of APAM) for shares of Class A common stock from time to time (the “Holdings Common Unit Exchanges”). The following partnership units were exchanged for APAM Class A common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2018: |
| | | | | | | | |
| Total Common Units Exchanged | Class A Common Units | Class B Common Units | Class E Common Units |

|
The corresponding shares of APAM Class B and Class C common stock were immediately canceled upon exchange. The Holdings Common Unit Exchanges increased APAM’s equity ownership interest in Holdings and resulted in an increase to deferred tax assets and amounts payable under the tax receivable agreements. See Note 11, “Income Taxes and Related Payments”.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of such consolidated financial statements have been included. Such interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year results.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and accordingly they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes.
The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. As a result, the interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in APAM’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and related rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates or assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates or assumptions.
Principles of consolidation
Artisan’s policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries or other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The consolidation guidance requires an analysis to determine if an entity should be evaluated for consolidation using the voting interest entity (“VOE”) model or the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model. Under the VOE model, controlling financial interest is generally defined as a majority ownership of voting interests. Under the VIE model, controlling financial interest is defined as (i) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and (ii) the right to receive potentially significant benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses. Artisan generally consolidates VIEs in which it meets the power criteria and holds an equity ownership interest of greater than 10%. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of APAM and all subsidiaries or other entities in which APAM has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Artisan serves as the investment adviser to Artisan Funds, Artisan Global Funds and other investment products, including Artisan sponsored private funds. Artisan Funds and Artisan Global Funds are corporate entities the business and affairs of which are managed by their respective boards of directors. The shareholders of the funds retain voting rights, including rights to elect and reelect members of their respective boards of directors. Each series of Artisan Funds is a VOE and is separately evaluated for consolidation under the VOE model. The shareholders of Artisan Global Funds lack simple majority liquidation rights, and as a result, each sub-fund of Artisan Global Funds is evaluated for consolidation under the VIE model. Artisan sponsored privately offered funds are also evaluated for consolidation under the VIE model because third-party equity holders of the funds generally lack the ability to divest Artisan of its control of the funds.
From time to time, the Company makes investments in Artisan Funds, Artisan Global Funds, and Artisan sponsored private funds. If the investment results in a controlling financial interest, APAM consolidates the fund, and the underlying activity of the entire fund is included in Artisan’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2018, Artisan has a controlling financial interest in three sub-funds of Artisan Global Funds and certain privately offered funds and, as a result, these funds are included in Artisan’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Because these consolidated investment products meet the definition of investment companies under U.S. GAAP, Artisan has retained the specialized industry accounting principles for investment companies in its Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 6, “Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment Products” for additional details.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting standards adopted as of January 1, 2018
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and creates a single framework. The guidance also changes the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method. There was no cumulative effect adjustment of applying the new revenue standard and the comparative information has not been restated. There are no significant differences between the reported results under the revenue standard and what would have been reported under the previous revenue guidance, other than the disclosures included in Note 9, ”Revenue From Contracts with Customers”.
The application of ASU 2014-09 had no impact on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2018, as compared to the previous revenue recognition standard. The application of the new principal versus agent guidance resulted in presentation changes whereby certain costs are now reported on a gross basis, when the Company is acting as principal, and reported on a net basis, when the Company is acting as an agent. The new standard requires the entire amount of fee waivers and expense reimbursements to be presented net against revenue, which resulted in a $16 thousand decrease in management fee revenue and a corresponding $16 thousand decrease in general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Applying ASU 2014-09 had no impact on operating income or net income, as compared to applying the previous revenue recognition standard. Artisan did not apply any of the practical expedients in ASU 2014-09.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption, the Company made a cumulative-effect adjustment to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, which resulted in a $0.4 million decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and a corresponding $0.4 million increase to retained earnings (deficit). The application of ASU 2016-01 results in the recognition of the Company’s unrealized gains (losses) on investment securities through net income. The Company recognized $1.6 million of unrealized gains in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, to clarify guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, including cash of consolidated investment products, is required to be included in cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective as of January 1, 2018, and requires retrospective application to all periods presented. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows includes a reconciliation to the line items on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Accounting standards not yet adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method related to implementing the new lease standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company plans to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The standard is expected to result in a significant increase in total assets and total liabilities, but will not have a significant impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The capitalized implementation costs will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The Company currently expenses implementation costs in hosting arrangement as the costs are incurred. The new guidance will be effective on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The table below presents information about Artisan’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and the valuation techniques Artisan utilized to determine such fair value. The financial instruments held by consolidated investment products are excluded from the table below and are presented in Note 6, “Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment Products”.
In accordance with ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that Artisan would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. The following three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value:
| |
• | Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical securities. |
| |
• | Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including but not limited to quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
| |
• | Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including Artisan’s own assumptions in determining fair value). |
The following provides the hierarchy of inputs used to derive fair value of Artisan’s assets and liabilities that are financial instruments as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value |

Fair values determined based on Level 1 inputs utilize quoted market prices for identical assets. Level 1 assets generally consist of money market funds, open-end mutual funds and UCITS funds. Equity securities without a fair value level consist of investments in sponsored private funds, which are measured at the underlying funds’ net asset value (“NAV”), using the ASC 820 practical expedient. The NAV is provided by the fund and is derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the reporting date. Cash maintained in demand deposit accounts is excluded from the table above.
Note 5. Borrowings
Artisan’s borrowings consist of the following as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017: |
| | | | | | | | |

Series D | August 2025 | | 60,000 |
| | 4.29 | % |
Total borrowings | | | $ | 200,000 |
| | |
The fair value of borrowings was approximately $201.8 million as of September 30, 2018. Fair value was determined based on future cash flows, discounted to present value using current market interest rates. The inputs are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as defined in Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements”.
Interest expense incurred on the unsecured notes and revolving credit agreement was $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and $8.0 million and $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Note 6. Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment Products
Artisan serves as the investment adviser for various types of investment products, consisting of both VIEs and VOEs. Artisan consolidates an investment product if it has a controlling financial interest in the entity. Any such entities are collectively referred to herein as consolidated investment products or CIPs.
As of September 30, 2018, Artisan is considered to have a controlling financial interest in three sub-funds of Artisan Global Funds and certain Artisan sponsored private funds related to one investment strategy for which it serves as investment manager. As of September 30, 2018, Artisan’s direct equity investment in the consolidated investment products was $31.0 million.
Artisan’s maximum exposure to loss in connection with the assets and liabilities of CIPs is limited to its direct equity investment, while the potential benefit is limited to the management fee and incentive allocation received and the return on its equity investment. With the exception of Artisan’s direct equity investment, the assets of CIPs are not available to Artisan’s creditors, nor are they available to Artisan for general corporate purposes. In addition, third-party investors in the CIPs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.
Management fees and incentive allocations earned from CIPs are eliminated from revenue upon consolidation. See Note 15, “Related Party Transactions” for additional information on management fees and incentive allocations earned from CIPs.
Third-party investors’ ownership interest in CIPs is presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as third-party investors have the right to withdraw their capital, subject to certain conditions. Net income attributable to third-party investors is reported as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests - consolidated investment products in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company determined that it no longer has a controlling financial interest in one private fund as a result of third party capital contributions to the fund. As a result, the VIE was deconsolidated and the following assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest balances were removed from the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition: |
| | | |
| As of July 1, 2018 |
Assets of consolidated investment products | |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 39,759 |
|
Accounts receivable and other | 1,340 |
|
Investment assets, at fair value | 85,626 |
|
Less: Amounts reclassified to investment securities | (11,381 | ) |
Total assets | $ | 115,344 |
|
| |
Liabilities of consolidated investment products | |
Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other | $ | 6,385 |
|
Investment liabilities, at fair value | 29,328 |
|
Total liabilities | $ | 35,713 |
|
| |
Redeemable noncontrolling interests | $ | 79,631 |
|
| |
Total liabilities and equity | $ | 115,344 |
|
There was no net impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from the deconsolidation of the private fund. Artisan generally does not recognize a gain or loss upon deconsolidation of investment products as the assets and liabilities of CIPs are carried at fair value. Artisan’s direct equity investment was reclassified from investment assets of consolidated investment products to investment securities. The direct equity investment in the private fund was $11.9 million as of September 30, 2018, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting since Artisan retains significant influence over the fund.
Fair Value Measurements - Consolidated Investment Products
The carrying value of CIPs’ investments is also their fair value. Short and long positions on equity securities are valued based upon closing prices of the security on the exchange or market designated by the accounting agent or pricing vendor as the principal exchange. The closing price may represent last sale price, official closing price, a closing auction or other information depending on market convention. Short and long positions on fixed income instruments are valued at market value. Market values are generally evaluations based on the judgment of pricing vendors, which may consider, among other factors, the prices at which securities actually trade, broker-dealer quotations, pricing formulas, estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics and/or discounted cash flow models that might be applicable.
The following tables present the fair value hierarchy levels of assets and liabilities held by CIPs measured at fair value as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Note 7. Noncontrolling interest - Holdings
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests - Artisan Partners Holdings in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the equity ownership interests in Holdings held by the limited partners of Holdings. As of September 30, 2018, APAM held approximately 70% of the equity ownership interests in Holdings.
In order to maintain the one-to-one correspondence of the number of Holdings partnership units and APAM common shares, Holdings will issue one general partner (“GP”) unit to APAM for each share of Class A common stock issued by APAM. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, APAM’s equity ownership interest in Holdings has increased as a result of the following transactions: |
| | | | | | | | |
