Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Eaton Vance Corp. (the Company) include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. 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. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As a result, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2019.

 

Adoption of new accounting standard

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases, as of November 1, 2019. This guidance requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The Company applied a modified retrospective approach to adoption and has not restated comparative periods. In order to reduce the complexity of adoption, the Company elected practical expedients that allowed it to forego reassessments of the following: whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, the classification of the lease, the recognition requirement for initial direct costs, and assumptions regarding renewal options that affect the lease term. Separately, the Company made accounting policy elections to 1) not separate lease and non-lease components such that all consideration required to be paid under its lease agreements will be allocated to the lease component, and 2) to report short-term leases with a term of twelve months or less off-balance sheet.

 

Upon adoption of the new guidance on November 1, 2019, the Company recognized operating lease right‐of‐use (ROU) assets of approximately $270.0 million equal to forecasted operating lease liabilities less deferred rent of $48.8 million, which was recognized under previous lease accounting guidance, and operating lease liabilities of approximately $318.8 million, with 0 cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. The new guidance does not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows because operating lease costs continue to be recognized on a straight‐line basis over the remaining lease term and operating lease payments continue to be classified within operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

 

The Company’s accounting policies related to leases, as provided below, have been updated to reflect the adoption of this new accounting standard as of November 1, 2019.

 

Leases

 

Contracts are evaluated at inception to determine whether such contract is or contains a lease. The Company leases certain office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. As leases expire, they are normally renewed or replaced in the ordinary course of business. Lease agreements may contain renewal options exercisable by the Company, rent escalation clauses and/or other incentives

1113


 

provided by the landlord. Renewal options that have been determined to be reasonably certain to be exercised are included in the lease term. Rights and obligations attributable to identified leases with a term in excess of twelve months are recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in the form of ROU assets and lease liabilities as of the date the underlying assets are available for use, which may be the date the Company gains access to begin leasehold improvements. Lease payments related to short-term leases with a term of twelve months or less are recognized on a straight-line basis as short-term lease expense.

 

Lease liabilities are initially and subsequently measured at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. For the purposes of this calculation, lease payments consist of fixed monthly lease payments related to use of the underlying assets and related services. Discount rates used in the calculation of present value reflect estimated incremental borrowing rates determined for each lease as of the lease commencement date.date or subsequently when the lease liability is re-measured, as applicable.

 

ROU assets are initially measured equal to the corresponding lease liabilities, adjusted for any lease incentives payable to the Company. Subsequently, the amortization of ROU assets areis recognized as a component of operating lease expense. The total cost of operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related leases, and is comprised of imputed interest on lease liabilities measured using the effective interest method and amortization of the ROU asset. Variable lease payments are primarily related to services such as common-area maintenance and utilities, property taxes and insurance and are recognized as variable lease expense when incurred.

 

ROU assets are tested for impairment whenever changes in facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Modification of a lease term would result in re-measurement of the lease liability and a corresponding adjustment to the ROU asset.

The Company’s investment in Hexavest is denominated in Canadian dollars and is subject to foreign currency translation adjustments, which are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the carrying value of goodwill is entirely attributable to foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company noted a decline in Hexavest’s managed assets driven primarily by equity market declines and net client withdrawals. An interim impairment test indicated that the estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in Hexavest had fallen below the carrying value as of April 30, 2020, an initial indicator of impairment. However, the Company determined that the investment was not other-than-temporarily impaired, as this was the first period end when the estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in Hexavest was less than its carrying value. The Company has no intention of disposing of its investment in Hexavest. Deeper or more extended declines in Hexavest’s managed assets could further reduce the fair value of the Company’s investment; as a result, future impairment tests could result in the Company recognizing an other-than-temporary impairment of its investment.

14


the reported amount of investments on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 31,April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019. Net investment income or (loss) related to consolidated sponsored funds was included in gains (losses) and other investment income, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The impact of consolidated sponsored funds’ net income or (loss) on net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders was reduced by amounts attributable to non-controlling interest holders, which are recorded in net income(income) loss attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

Consolidated CLO entities

As of January 31,April 30, 2020, the Company deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of 3 non-recourse securitized CLO entities, namely, Eaton Vance CLO 2019-1 (CLO 2019-1), Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 (CLO 2013-1) and Eaton Vance CLO 2014-1R (CLO 2014-1R). As of October 31, 2019, the Company deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of 4 non-recourse securitized CLO entities, namely, CLO 2019-1, CLO 2013-1, Eaton Vance CLO 2018-1 (CLO 2018-1) and CLO 2014-1R.

 

The assets of consolidated CLO entities are held solely as collateral to satisfy the obligations of each entity. The Company has no right to receive benefits from, nor does the Company bear the risks associated with, the assets held by these CLO entities beyond the Company’s investment in these entities. In the event of default, recourse to the Company is limited to its investment in these entities. The Company has not

17


provided any financial or other support to these entities that it was not previously contractually required to provide, and there are neither explicit arrangements nor does the Company hold implicit variable interests that could require the Company to provide any ongoing financial support to these entities. Other beneficial interest holders of consolidated CLO entities do not have any recourse to the Company’s general credit. The Company reports the financial information of consolidated securitized CLO entities on a one-month lag based upon the availability of financial information.

 

Eaton Vance CLO 2019-1

CLO 2019-1 was securitized on May 15, 2019. As of January 31,April 30, 2020, the Company continues to hold 100 percent of the subordinated notes that were issued by CLO 2019-1 at closing and is still serving as the collateral manager of the entity. The Company deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of CLO 2019-1 upon acquiring 100 percent of the subordinated interests of the entity on May 15, 2019 and began consolidating the entity as of that date.

15


 

Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1

The Company deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of CLO 2013-1 upon acquiring 100 percent of the subordinated notes of the entity on May 1, 2019 and began consolidating the entity as of that date. As of January 31,April 30, 2020, the Company continues to hold 100 percent of the subordinated notes that were acquired on May 1, 2019 and is still serving as the collateral manager of the entity.

 

Eaton Vance CLO 2018-1

CLO 2018-1 was securitized on October 24, 2018. The Company deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of CLO 2018-1 upon acquiring 93 percent of the subordinated interests of the entity on October 24, 2018 and began consolidating the entity as of that date. On January 15, 2020, the Company sold its entire interest in the subordinated notes of CLO 2018-1 to an unrelated third party for $27.3 million and recognized a loss of $7.2 million upon the sale included within gains and other investment income, net of consolidated CLO entities in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the threesix months ended January 31,April 30, 2020. Although the Company continues to serve as collateral manager of the entity, the Company concluded that it no longer had an obligation to absorb the losses of, or the rights to receive benefits from, CLO 2018-1 that could potentially be significant to the entity. As a result, the Company concluded that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of CLO 2018-1 upon the sale of the subordinated interests of the entity on January 15, 2020 and deconsolidated the entity as of that date.

 

Eaton Vance CLO 2014-1R

CLO 2014-1R was securitized on August 23, 2018. As of January 31,April 30, 2020, the Company continues to hold 100 percent of the subordinated notes that were issued by CLO 2014-1R at closing and is still serving as the collateral manager of the entity. The Company deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of CLO 2014-1R upon acquiring 100 percent of the subordinated interests of the entity on August 23, 2018 and began consolidating CLO 2014-1R as of that date.

 

The Company elected to apply the measurement alternative to ASC 820 for collateralized financing entities upon the initial consolidation and for the subsequent measurement of the securitized CLO entities consolidated by the Company (collectively, the consolidated securitized CLO entities). The Company determined that the fair value of the financial assets of these entities is more observable than the fair value of the financial liabilities. Through the application of the measurement alternative, the fair value of the financial liabilities of these entities is measured as the difference between the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the Company’s beneficial interests in these entities, which beneficial interests include the subordinated interests held by the Company and any accrued management fees due to the Company. The

18


fair value of the subordinated notes held by the Company is determined primarily based on an income approach, which projects the cash flows of the CLO assets using projected default, prepayment, recovery and discount rates, as well as observable assumptions about market yields, callability and other market factors. An appropriate discount rate is then applied to determine the discounted cash flow valuation of the subordinated notes. Aggregate disclosures for the securitized CLO entities consolidated by the Company as of January 31,April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019 are provided below.

Although the Company’s beneficial interests in the consolidated securitized CLO entities are eliminated upon consolidation, the application of the measurement alternative results in the Company’s total beneficial interests in these entities of $76.6$55.2 million and $112.8 million at January 31,April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively, being equal to the net amount of the consolidated CLO entities’ assets and liabilities included on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As noted above, the consolidated securitized CLO entities are reported on a one-month lag. The Company evaluated the disruption to the economy and financial markets attributable to the global pandemic during the month of April 2020 and the impact on the valuation of its beneficial interests in the consolidated securitized CLO entities. There are no material changes in the value of the Company’s beneficial interests in the consolidated securitized CLO entities as of April 30, 2020.

Investments in VIEs that are not consolidated

 

Sponsored funds

The Company classifies its investments in certain sponsored funds that are considered VIEs as equity securities when it is not considered the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company provides aggregated disclosures with respect to these non-consolidated sponsored fund VIEs in Note 3 and Note 6.

 

Non-consolidated CLO entities

The Company is not deemed the primary beneficiary of certain CLO entities in which it holds variable interests. In developing its conclusion that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities, the Company determined that, although it has variable interests in each such CLO by virtue of its beneficial ownership

20


interests in the CLO entities, these interests neither individually nor in the aggregate represent an obligation to absorb losses of, or a right to receive benefits from, any such entity that could potentially be significant to that entity.

 

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these non-consolidated CLO entities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and collateral management fees receivable from, these entities as of January 31,April 30, 2020. The Company held investments in these entities totaling $1.4 million on both January 31,April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019. Collateral management fees receivable for these entities totaled $0.1 million on both January 31,April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019. Other investors in these CLO entities have no recourse against the Company for any losses sustained. The Company did not provide any financial or other support to these entities that it was not previously contractually required to provide in any of the fiscal periods presented. Income from these entities is recorded as a component of gains (losses) and other investment income, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, based upon projected investment yields. Additional information regarding the Company’s investment in non-consolidated CLO entities, as well as the combined assets under management in the pools of non-consolidated CLO entities, is included in Note 3.

 

18


Other entities

The Company’s variable interests in these entities consist of the Company’s direct ownership therein, which in each case is insignificant relative to the total ownership of the fund, and any investment advisory fees earned but uncollected. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these managed entities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and investment advisory fees receivable from, these entities as of January 31,April 30, 2020. The Company held investments in these entities totaling $0.6 million and $0.5 million on January 31,both April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019 respectively, and investment advisory fees receivable totaling $1.8 million and $1.3 million on January 31,both April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively.2019. The Company did not provide any financial or other support to these entities that it was not contractually required to provide in any of the periods presented. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it does not have the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, these VIEs that could potentially be significant to these VIEs.

 

The Company’s investments in privately offered equity funds are carried at fair value and included in non-consolidated sponsored funds and other, andwhich are disclosed as a component of investments in Note 3.

 

The Company also holds a variable interest in, but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, a private equity partnership managed by a third party that invests in companies in the financial services industry.

The Company did not provide any financial or other support to this entity. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to the private equity partnership is limited to the carrying value of its investment in the entity as of January 31,April 30, 2020. The Company does not consolidate this VIE because the Company does not hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE.

The Company concurrently designated the Treasury lock as a cash flow hedge to mitigate its exposure to variability in the forecasted semi-annual interest payments and recorded a loss of $0.4 million, in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company reclassified approximately $17,000 and $34,000 of the loss into interest expense during both the three and six months ended January 31,April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and will reclassify the remaining $0.5 million loss as of January 31,April 30, 2020 to earnings over the remaining term of the debt. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $68,000 of the unamortized loss.

 

In fiscal 2013, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap in connection with the offering of its 2023 Senior Notes and recorded a gain in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company reclassified $50,000 and $0.1 million of the gain into interest expense during both the three and six months ended January 31,April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and will reclassify the remaining $0.7$0.6 million gain as of January 31,April 30, 2020 to

19


earnings over the remaining term of the debt. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $0.2 million of the unamortized gain.

(1)

These investments are not measured at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

(2)

Investments in non-consolidated CLO entities are carried at amortized cost unless facts or circumstances indicate that the investments have been impaired, at which time the investments are written down to fair value as measured using level 3 inputs.

 

A description of the valuation techniques and the inputs used in recurring fair value measurements is included immediately below. There have been no changes in the Company’s valuation techniques in the current reporting period.

 

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include investments in money market mutual funds, government agency securities, certificates of deposit and commercial paper with remaining maturities to the Company of less than three months, as determined upon the purchase of each security. Cash investments in daily redeemable, actively traded money market mutual funds are valued using published net asset values and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Holdings of Treasury and government agency securities are valued based upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data. The carrying amounts of certificates of deposit and commercial paper are measured

25


at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short time between the purchase and expected

23


maturity of these investments. Depending on the categorization of the significant inputs, these assets are generally categorized in their entirety as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

 

Debt securities held at fair value

Debt securities held at fair value consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate debt obligations with remaining maturities of three months to 12 months upon purchase by the Company, as well as investments in debt securities held in portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts.

 

Short-term debt securities held are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third-party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker-dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. These assets are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

 

Debt securities held in portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third-party pricing services as described above for short-term debt securities. Debt securities purchased with an original (remaining) maturity of 60 days or less (excluding those that are non-U.S. denominated, which typically are valued by a third-party pricing service or dealer quotes) are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Depending on the categorization of the significant inputs, debt securities held in portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds are generally categorized in their entirety as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

 

Equity securities held at fair value

Equity securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of domestic and foreign equity securities held in portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts and investments in non-consolidated sponsored or other funds.

 

Equity securities are valued at the last sale, official close or, if there are no reported sales on the valuation date, at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on which they are traded. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the portfolios use a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. In addition, the Company performs its own independent back test review of fair values versus the subsequent local market opening prices when available. Depending on the categorization of the significant inputs, these assets are generally categorized in their entirety as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

 

Equity investments in non-consolidated mutual funds are valued using the published net asset value per share and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Sponsored private open-end funds are not listed on an active exchange but calculate a net asset value per share (or equivalent) as of the Company’s reporting date in a manner consistent with mutual funds. The Company’s investments therein do not have any redemption restrictions and are not probable of being sold at an amount different from their calculated net asset value per share (or equivalent). Accordingly, investments in sponsored private open-end funds are measured at fair value based on the net asset value per share (or equivalent) of the investment as a

26


practical expedient and are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. The Company

24


does not have any unfunded commitments related to investments in sponsored private mutual funds at January 31,April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019.

 

Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments, further discussed in Note 5, are recorded as either other assets or other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Futures and swap contracts are valued using a third‐party pricing service that determines fair value based on bid and ask prices. Foreign exchange contracts are valued by interpolating a value using the spot foreign exchange rate and forward points, which are based on spot rates and currency interest rate differentials. Derivative instruments generally are classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

 

Assets of consolidated CLO entities

Consolidated CLO entity assets include investments in bank loans and equity securities. Fair value is determined utilizing unadjusted quoted market prices when available. Equity securities held by consolidated CLO entities are valued using the same techniques as described above for equity securities. Interests in senior floating‐rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the average mid‐point of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third‐party pricing service. Fair value may also be based upon valuations obtained from independent third‐party brokers or dealers utilizing matrix pricing models that consider information regarding securities with similar characteristics. In certain instances, fair value has been determined utilizing discounted cash flow analyses or single broker non‐binding quotes. Depending on the categorization of the significant inputs, these assets are generally categorized as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

 

Liabilities of consolidated CLO entities

Consolidated CLO entity liabilities include senior and subordinated note obligations. Fair value is determined using the measurement alternative to ASC 820 for collateralized financing entities. In accordance with the measurement alternative, the fair value of CLO liabilities was measured as the fair value of CLO assets less the sum of (1) the fair value of the beneficial interests held by the Company and (2) the carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. Although both Level 2 and Level 3 inputs were used to measure the fair value of the CLO liabilities, the senior note obligations are classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy, as the Level 3 inputs used were not significant.

As discussed in Note 19,20, on December 23, 2015, Eaton Vance Management Canada Ltd. (EVMC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, loaned $5.0 million to Hexavest under a term loan agreement to seed a new investment strategy. The carrying value of the loan approximates fair value. The fair value is determined annually using a cash flow model that projects future cash flows based upon contractual obligations, to which the Company then applies an appropriate discount rate.

 

The fair value of the Company’s debt has been determined based on quoted prices in inactive markets.

In the three months ended January 31, 2019, theThe Company’s income tax provision was reduced by net excess tax benefits related to the exercise of $2.9employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards totaling $0.3 million and $1.6 million related to the net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests, which is not taxable to the Company.

As of that date, the Company had approximately $4.8$10.7 million of undistributed earnings primarily from foreign operations in the U.K. that are not available to

37


fund domestic operations or to distribute to shareholders unless repatriated. In consideration of the treatment of taxable distributions under the 2017 Tax Act, the impact of Global Intangible Low Taxed Income on the Company’s future foreign earnings and lack of withholding tax imposed by certain foreign governments, any future tax liability with respect to these undistributed earnings is immaterial.

18.19. Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties, such as engagement letters with advisors and consultants, information technology agreements, distribution agreements and service agreements. In certain circumstances, these indemnities in favor of third parties relate to service agreements entered into by investment funds advised by Eaton Vance Management, Boston Management and Research, or Calvert, all of which are direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors, officers and employees in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended. Certain agreements do not contain any limits on the Company’s liability and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the Company’s potential liability under these indemnities. In certain cases, the Company has recourse against third parties with respect to these indemnities. Further, the Company maintains insurance policies that may provide coverage against certain claims under these indemnities.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, after discussions with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

This Item includes statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our expectations, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-Q regarding our financial position, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations are forward-looking statements. The terms “may,” “will,” “could,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “project,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Although we believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct or that we will take any actions that may now be planned. Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed in Risk Factors under Item 1A in this Form 10-Q and in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by such factors. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

The discussion and analysis below should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Management has presumed that the readers of this interim financial information have read or have access to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2019, as well as our current reports on Form 8-K.

 

Overview

 

Eaton Vance Corp. provides advanced investment strategies and wealth management solutions to forward-thinking investors around the world. Our principal business is managing investment funds and providing investment management and advisory services to high-net-worth individuals and institutions. Our core strategy is to develop and sustain management expertise across a range of investment disciplines and to offer leading investment strategies and services through multiple distribution channels. In executing our core strategy, we have developed broadly diversified investment management capabilities and a highly functional marketing, distribution and customer service organization. We measure our success as a Company based principally on investment performance delivered, client satisfaction, reputation in the marketplace, progress achieving strategic objectives, employee development and satisfaction, business and financial results, and shareholder value created.

 

We conduct our investment management and advisory business through wholly- and majority-owned investment affiliates, which include: Eaton Vance Management (EVM), Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), Atlanta Capital Management Company, LLC (Atlanta Capital) and Calvert Research and Management (Calvert). We also offer investment management advisory services through minority-owned affiliate Hexavest Inc. (Hexavest).

 

Through EVM, Atlanta Capital, Calvert and our other affiliates, we manage active equity, income, alternative and blended strategies across a range of investment styles and asset classes, including U.S., global and international equities, floating-rate bank loans, municipal bonds, global income, high-yield and investment

43


grade bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. Through Parametric, we manage a range of systematic

41


investment strategies, including systematic equity, systematic fixed income, systematic alternatives and managed options strategies. Through Parametric, we also provide portfolio overlay services and manage custom separate account portfolios, including Custom Core™ equity, laddered fixed income, multi-asset and multi-manager portfolios. We also oversee the management of, and distribute, investment funds sub-advised by unaffiliated third-party managers, including global, emerging market and regional equity and asset allocation strategies.

 

Our breadth of investment management capabilities supports a wide range of strategies and services offered to fund shareholders and separate account investors. Our equity strategies encompass a diversity of investment objectives, risk profiles, income levels and geographic representation. Our income investment strategies cover a broad duration, geographic representation and credit quality range and encompass both taxable and tax-free investments. We also offer alternative investment strategies that include global macro absolute return and commodity-based investments. Although we manage and distribute a wide range of investment strategies and services, we operate in one business segment, namely as an investment adviser to funds and separate accounts. As of January 31,April 30, 2020, we had $518.2$465.3 billion in consolidated assets under management.

 

We distribute our funds and individual separately managed accounts principally through financial intermediaries. We have broad market reach, with distribution partners including national and regional broker-dealers, independent broker-dealers, registered investment advisors, banks and insurance companies. We support these distribution partners with a team of approximately 160 sales professionals covering U.S. and international markets.

 

We employ a team of approximately 2030 sales professionals focused on serving institutional and high-net-worth clients who access investment management services on a direct basis and through investment consultants. Through our wholly- and majority-owned affiliates, we manage investments for a broad range of clients in the institutional and high-net-worth marketplace in the U.S. and internationally, including corporations, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, family offices and public and private employee retirement plans.

 

Our revenue is derived primarily from management, distribution and service fees received from Eaton Vance-, Parametric- and Calvert-branded funds and management fees received from individual and institutional separate accounts. Our fee revenues are based primarily on the value of the investment portfolios we manage, and fluctuate with changes in the total value and mix of assets under management. As a matter of course, investors in our sponsored open-end funds and separate accounts have the ability to redeem their investments at any time, without prior notice, and there are no material restrictions that would prevent them from doing so. Our major expenses are employee compensation, distribution-related expenses, service fee expense, fund-related expenses, facilities expense and information technology expense.

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to goodwill and intangible assets, temporary equity, income taxes, investments and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Current Developments

 

During the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2020, the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global pandemic significantly affected the economy and financial markets worldwide. While the Company is continuously monitoring and evaluating the impact of COVID-19, there is substantial uncertainty regarding how long the pandemic will last and how it will ultimately affect the overall economy and markets. During the second quarter, the Company’s implementation of its business continuity plan enabled operations to be maintained at or near normal levels even as approximately 98 percent of our employees were working remotely. We are currently pursuinghave not experienced any significant disruptions due to operational issues, loss of communication capabilities, technology failure or cyber-attacks. During the pandemic period, we continue to pursue our four primary strategic priorities: (1) capitalizing on the near-term growth opportunities presented by our market-leading positions in customized individual separate accounts, responsible investing, specialty wealth management strategies and services, and the array of high-performing actively managed investment strategies we offer across asset classes and investment styles; (2) defending our floating-rate bank loan, global macro absolute return, systematic emerging market equity and closed-end fund business franchises; (3) enhancing our competitive position by developing new value-added investment offerings, lowering operating costs, advancing succession planning and opportunistically pursuing potential acquisitions; and (4) investing in technology and operating infrastructure, leadership and staff development, and diversity and inclusion.

 

In June 2019, we announced a strategic initiative involving our Parametric, EVM and Eaton Vance Distributors affiliates to further strengthen our leadership positions in rules-based, systematic investment strategies, customized individual separate accounts and wealth management solutions. The initiative has three principal components: (1) rebranding EVM’s rules-based, systematic investment-grade fixed income strategies as Parametric and aligning internal reporting consistent with the revised branding; (2) integrating under Eaton Vance Distributors the sales teams serving Parametric and EVM clients and business partners in the registered investment advisor and multi-family office market; and (3) combining under Parametric the technology and operating platforms supporting the individual separately managed account businesses of Parametric and EVM. The internal change process supportingfirst two principal components of this initiative isare complete and we anticipate that the enhancements to the technology and operating platforms will be substantially complete.complete by fiscal year end.

 

We now report equity, fixed income and multi-asset separate accounts managed by Parametric for which customization is a primary feature as Parametric custom portfolios. This new investment mandate reporting category includes the Parametric equity and multi-asset strategies, that previously composed our former Portfolio Implementation category, primarily Custom Core and centralized portfolio management, as well as the laddered bond separate accounts that were formerly managed by EVM and previously categorized as fixed income for reporting purposes.EVM. These market-leading offerings combine the benefits of benchmark-based investing with the ability to customize portfolios to meet individual preferences and needs. In the first threesix months of fiscal 2020, net inflows into Parametric custom portfolios totaled $3.5$4.8 billion, generating annualized internal growth in managed assets of 96 percent.

 

The Calvert Funds are one of the largest and most diversified families of responsibly invested mutual funds, encompassing actively and passively managed equity, fixed and floating-rate income, and multi-asset strategies managed in accordance with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment or other responsible investment criteria. Since Calvert became part of Eaton Vance in December 2016, we have experienced significant growth in Calvert-branded investment strategies and further distinguished Calvert as a leader in environmental, social and governance (ESG) research and responsible engagement. Including the Atlanta Capital-subadvised Calvert Equity Fund, assets under management in Calvert strategies grew to a new high of $21.8$21.3 billion at January 31,April 30, 2020 from $19.8 billion at October 31, 2019, reflecting net inflows of $1.3$2.4 billion and partially offset by

45


market price appreciationdeclines of $0.7$1.0 billion. Calvert’s $1.3$2.4 billion of net inflows in the first threesix months of fiscal 2020 equatesequate to annualized internal growth in managed assets of 2625 percent.

 

While Calvert is the centerpiece of our responsible investment strategy, our commitment to responsible investing also encompasses our other investment affiliates. EVM and Atlanta Capital are increasingly utilizing Calvert’s proprietary ESG research as a component of their fundamental research processes, and portfolio customization to reflect individual client’s responsible investment criteria remains a central feature of Parametric separate account offerings. Calvert’s research and impact analysis is also being integrated with Parametric to support this ability for clients to customize their portfolios. As of January 31,April 30, 2020, Parametric managed $25.6$22.3 billion of client

43


assets based on client-specified responsible investment criteria. On an overall basis, Eaton Vance is one of the largest participants in responsible investing, a position we are committed to growing in conjunction with rising demand for investment strategies that incorporate ESG-integrated investment research and/or seek to achieve both favorable investment returns and positive societal impact.

 

Net outflows ofIn our floating-rate bank loan strategies, declined to $1.4we saw net outflows of $4.5 billion in the first quartersix months of fiscal 2020 from $2.9 billionand 2019. Net outflows in the first quarterhalf of fiscal 20192020 were heavily concentrated in March, as loan fund investors reacted to COVID-19-related market volatility and $2.6 billiondeclines in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The improved flow results reflect a more favorable market outlook for the performance of floating-rate loans, driven by the Federal Reserve’s announced plan to pause benchmark short-term interest rate changesrates. The trading and confidencesettlement of bank loans remained orderly throughout this period of heavy selling pressure, with no issues experienced in the strengthterms of U.S. credit market conditions.either liquidity or timing of trade settlement.

 

Investor flows into and out ofIn our global macro absolute return strategies, netted towe saw net outflows of approximately zero$670 million in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2020, which compares to net outflows of $2.1 billionapproximately $440 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and approximately zero net flows in the first quarter of fiscal 20192020. While not insulated from event risk, our global macro funds offer the potential for attractive levels of absolute returns that are substantially uncorrelated to U.S. equity and net outflows of $500 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The improved flow results of these strategies, which hold long and short positions in currency and short-duration sovereign debt instruments of emerging and frontierbond market countries, reflect favorable investor returns in 2019 compared to disappointing investment performance in 2018.returns.

 

In February 2019, EVM and related parties filed an application for exemptive relief with the SEC, seeking permission to offer exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that would employ a novel method of supporting efficient secondary market trading of their shares. Because disclosure of current holdings would not be required, the portfolio trading activity of ETFs utilizing the proposed method could remain confidential. Different from other proposed approaches to less-transparent ETFs that have recently receivedReflecting dialogue with SEC exemptive relief, we believe our method should be broadly applicable across fund asset classes and can support efficient secondary market trading of fund sharesstaff, the application was amended in all market conditions. In conjunction with filing the exemptive application, we formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Advanced Fund Solutions, to manage the development and commercialization of ETFs utilizing this new method, for which theMarch 2020. The timing and likelihood of approval remains uncertain.

Consolidated Assets under Management

 

Prevailing equity and income market conditions and investor sentiment affect the sales and redemptions of our investment offerings, managed asset levels, operating results and the recoverability of our investments. During the second quarter and the first quartersix months of fiscal 2020, the S&P 500 Index, a broad measure of U.S. equity market performance, had total returns of 6.7-9.3 percent and -3.2 percent, respectively, and the MSCI Emerging Market Index, a broad measure of emerging market equity performance, had total returns of 2.3 percent.-12.5 percent and -10.4 percent, respectively. Over the same periods, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. bond market performance, had total returns of 1.8 percent.3.0 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively.

Consolidated assets under management reached a new record quarter-end high of $518.2were $465.3 billion on January 31,April 30, 2020, up 17down 1 percent from $444.7$469.9 billion of consolidated assets under management on January 31,April 30, 2019. The year-over-year increasedecrease reflects net inflows of $28.6$14.6 billion and market price appreciationdeclines of $45.0$19.3 billion.

 

The following tables summarize our consolidated assets under management by investment mandate, investment vehicle and investment affiliate. Prior-period consolidated assets under management, average assets under management and net flows by investment mandate have been revised to reflect the reclassification of benchmark-based fixed income separate accounts from fixed income to Parametric custom portfolios. Prior-period consolidated assets under management by investment affiliate have been revised to reflect the shift in management responsibilities for the Company’s systematically managed investment-grade fixed income strategies from EVM to Parametric in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the adoption of a new policy to report the managed assets of investment portfolios overseen by multiple Eaton Vance affiliates based on the strategy’s primary identity. None of these reclassifications affected the Company’s overall consolidated assets under management for any of the reported periods.

Consolidated average assets under management presented in the following tables are derived by averaging the beginning and ending assets of each month over the period. The tables are intended to provide information useful in the analysis of our asset-based revenue and distribution expenses. Separate account management fees are generally calculated as a percentage of either beginning, average or ending quarterly assets. Fund management, distribution and service fees, as well as certain expenses, are generally calculated as a percentage of average daily assets.

Results of Operations

 

In evaluating operating performance, we consider net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and earnings per diluted share, which are calculated on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, as well as adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share, both of which are internally derived non-U.S. GAAP performance measures.

Effective this quarter, our calculation of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures excludes the impact of consolidated sponsored funds and consolidated collateralized loan obligation (CLO) entities (collectively, consolidated investment entities) and other seed capital investments. Adjustments to GAAP operating income include the add-back of management fee revenue received from consolidated investment entities that are eliminated in consolidation and the non-management expenses of consolidated sponsored funds recognized in consolidation. Adjustments to GAAP net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders include the after-tax impact of these adjustments to operating income and the elimination of gains (losses) and other investment income (expense) of consolidated investment entities and other seed capital investments included in non-operating income (expense), as determined net of tax and non-controlling and other beneficial interests. All prior period non-U.S. GAAP financial measures have been updated to reflect this change.

 

Management believes that certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, specifically, adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share, while not a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial measures, may be effective indicators of our performance over time. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be construed to be superior to U.S. GAAP measures. In calculating these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders, and earnings per diluted share areis adjusted to exclude items management deems non-operating or non-recurring in nature, or otherwise outside the ordinary course of business. These adjustments may include, when applicable, the add back of closed-end fund structuring fees, costs associated with special dividends, debt repayments and tax settlements, the tax impact of stock-based compensation shortfalls or windfalls, and non-recurring charges for the effect of tax law changes. The adjusted measures also exclude the impact of consolidated investment entities and other seed capital investments. Management and our Board of Directors, as well as certain of our outside investors, consider thesethe adjusted numbers a measure of our underlying operating performance. Management believes adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and may provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying business.

Compensation expense decreased by $4.5 million, or 3 percent, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 from the same period a year earlier. The decrease was primarily driven by (1) a $7.0 million decrease in operating income-based bonus accruals due to a decrease in consolidated pre-bonus operating income; (2) a $2.0 million decrease in other compensation expenses primarily due to lower severance expenses; and (3) a $1.1 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in base salaries and employee benefits associated with increases in headcount, year-end compensation increases for continuing employees and one additional payroll day in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and a $1.5 million increase in sales‐based incentive compensation.

GainsThe change in gains (losses) and other investment income, net, increased by $10.3 million in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period a year ago reflectingreflects a $10.6$60.0 million increase in net investment gainslosses, primarily attributable to investments inof consolidated sponsored strategiesfunds and associated hedges, and a $0.1$6.1 million decrease in foreign losses, partially offset by a decrease in interest and other income, partially offset by an increase in foreign currency gains of $0.4 million. The increase in net investment losses of consolidated sponsored funds during the second quarter of fiscal 2020 drove a corresponding increase in net loss attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interest holders during the period as more fully described below.

Interest expense increased by $0.5 million in second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period a year earlier reflecting borrowings under our line of credit during the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Such borrowings were fully repaid prior to quarter-end.

The $27.5 million decrease in other income (expense) of consolidated CLO entities in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period a year earlier is driven by a decrease in our economic interests in these entities. The Company consolidated three securitized CLO entities as of April 30, 2020 in comparison to two securitized CLO entities and one warehouse stage CLO entity as of April 30, 2019. Our economic interests consist of changes in the fair market value of our investments in these entities, distributions received and management fees earned by the Company.

The change in gains (losses) and other investment income, net, in the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period a year ago reflects a $49.3 million increase in net investment losses, primarily attributable to investments of consolidated sponsored funds and associated hedges, and a $6.6 million decrease in interest and other income, partially offset by an increase in foreign currency gains of $0.4 million.

Interest expense increased by $0.2 million in first six months of 2020 compared to the same period a year earlier reflecting borrowings under our line of credit during the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Such borrowings were fully repaid prior to quarter-end.

Income Taxes

 

Our effective tax rate, calculated as a percentage of income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliates, was 22.845.3 percent in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2020 and 23.425.1 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Our effective tax rate was 28.5 percent in the first quartersix months of fiscal 2020 and 24.4 percent in the first six months of fiscal 2019.

 

Our income tax provision for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2020 and 2019 includes charges of $1.3$0.9 million and $0.6$0.7 million, respectively, associated with certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act taking effect for the Company in fiscal 2019, relating principally to limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation. These charges totaled $2.2 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Our income tax provision for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2020 and 2019 was reduced by net excess tax benefits of $4.9$1.1 million and $2.9$0.3 million, respectively, related to the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards, during those periods.and $9.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interest, which is not taxable to the Company. These net excess tax benefits totaled $6.0 million and $3.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Our calculations of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share remove the impact of gains (losses) and other investment income (expense) of consolidated investment entities and other seed capital investments, add back the management fees and expenses of consolidated investment entities, and exclude the tax impact of stock-based compensation shortfalls or windfalls. On this basis, our adjusted effective tax rate was 26.224.9 percent and 25.926.9 percent for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 26.3 percent and 26.7 percent for the six months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our adjusted effective tax rate is calculated by dividing our adjusted income tax expense by adjusted income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliates, which was $119.0 million and $126.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $253.3 million and $246.5 million for the six months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Adjusted income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliates does not include the allocation of income or loss to non-controlling interests, removes the impact of gains (losses) and other investment income (expenses) of our consolidated investment entities and other seed capital investments and adds back the management fees and expenses of consolidated investment entities.

Net income attributable to majority-owned subsidiaries decreased by $1.4$1.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and decreased by $3.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020, reflecting the Company’s accelerated repurchase of certain profit and capital interests in Parametric entities held by current and former employees, whichemployees. The repurchase settled in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. Net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests is not adjusted for taxes due to the underlying tax status of our consolidated sponsored funds and consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries, which are treated as pass-through entities for tax purposes.

 

Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The assets and liabilities of our consolidated CLO entities do not affect our liquidity or capital resources. The collateral assets of our consolidated CLO entities are held solely to satisfy the obligations of these entities and we have no right to these assets beyond our direct investment in, and management fees generated from, these entities. The note holders and third-party creditors of these entities have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. As a result, the assets and liabilities of our consolidated CLO entities are excluded from the discussion of liquidity and capital resources below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and management fees and other receivables. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash. Management fees and other receivables primarily represent receivables due from sponsored funds and separately managed accounts for investment advisory and distribution services provided. Excluding those assets identified as assets of consolidated CLO entities, liquid assets represented 2943 percent and 32 percent of total assets on January 31,April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. Not included in the liquid asset amounts are $280.6$36.4 million and $297.8$317.9 million of highly liquid short-term debt securities with remaining maturities between three and 12 months held as of January 31,April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. These securitiesrespectively, which are included within investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. OurThese amounts include $20.0 million and $20.1 million as of April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively, in a separate account previously classified as a seed capital investment. Generally, our seed investments in consolidated funds and separate accounts are not treated as liquid assets because they may be longer term in nature.

 

As of January 31,April 30, 2020, our unsecured and unsubordinated debt consisted of $325 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.625 percent Senior Notes due in June 2023 and $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5

68


percent Senior Notes due in April 2027. Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The senior notes do not contain debt covenants.

 

We maintain a $300$300.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with several banks that expires on December 11, 2023. The facility, which we entered into on December 11, 2018, provides that we may borrow at LIBOR or LIBOR-successor benchmark-based rates of interest thatwhich vary depending on our credit ratings. Accrued interest on any borrowing is payable quarterly in arrears and on the date of repayment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the credit facility, the amount available for borrowing may be increased to up to $400.0 million through additional commitments by existing lenders or the addition of one or more new lenders to the syndicate. The credit facility agreement contains financial covenants with respect to leverage and interest coverage, and requires us to pay an annuala quarterly commitment fee on any unused portion. We hadDuring the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we borrowed $300.0 million under our credit facility to demonstrate the Company’s ability to generate incremental liquidity if needed. Such borrowings were fully repaid before the end of the quarter, resulting in no outstanding borrowings under our revolving creditthis facility at January 31, 2020 or at any point during the first three months of fiscalApril 30, 2020. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of January 31,April 30, 2020.

 

We continue to monitor our liquidity daily. We remain committeddaily and are carefully manage our cash flow to growing our business and returning capital to shareholders.maintain financial flexibility. We expect that our main uses of cash will be paying dividends, acquiring shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock, making seed investments in new investment strategies, potential strategic acquisitions, maintaining and enhancing our technology infrastructure and paying the operating expenses of our business. We believe that our existing liquid assets, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility are sufficient to meet our current and forecasted operating cash needs. The risk exists, however, that if we need to raise additional capital or refinance existing debt in the future, resources may not be available to us in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms. Our ability to enter the capital markets in a timely manner depends on a number of factors, including the state of global credit and equity markets, interest rates, credit spreads and our credit ratings at such time. If we are unable to access capital markets to issue new debt, refinance existing debt or sell shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock as needed, or if we are unable to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, our business could be adversely affected. Eaton Vance’s issuer rating is A3 by Moody’s Investors Service and A- by S&P Global Ratings.

 

Recoverability of our Investments

 

Our $1.1$0.6 billion of investments as of January 31,April 30, 2020 consisted of our 49 percent equity interest in Hexavest, our direct investments in Company-sponsored funds and separate accounts entered into for investment and business development purposes, investments held by the funds we consolidate and certain other investments held at cost. Investments directly held by the Company at cost. Investments in consolidated funds and separate accounts and investments held directly by consolidated funds are significant to the Company areand generally ininclude liquid debt or equity securities andthat are carried at fair market value. We test our investments held at cost for impairment on a quarterly basis using qualitative factors. As of January 31, 2020, there were no indicators of impairment on ourOur investments held at cost.cost consist primarily of a $19.0 million investment in a U.S.-based wealth management technology firm.

 

62


We assess our investments in equity method investees, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or as facts and circumstances indicate that additional analysis is warranted. We evaluated whether the recent impacts to the economy and financial markets attributable to COVID-19 caused these assets to be impaired as of the end of April 30, 2020. There have beenwere no significant changesimpairments recorded as of April 30, 2020 as a result of this evaluation.

69


Our investments in financial conditionequity method investees primarily relates to our investment in Hexavest with a carrying amount of $129.8 million as of April 30, 2020. During the first three monthssecond quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company noted a decline in Hexavest’s managed assets driven primarily by equity market declines and net client withdrawals. An interim impairment test indicated that would indicatethe estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in Hexavest had fallen below the carrying value as of April 30, 2020, an initial indicator of impairment. However, the Company determined that the investment was not other-than-temporarily impaired, as this was the first period end when the estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in Hexavest was less than its carrying value. The Company has no intention of disposing of its investment in Hexavest. Deeper or more extended declines in Hexavest’s managed assets could further reduce the fair value of the Company’s investment; as a result, future impairment tests could result in the Company recognizing an other-than-temporary impairment loss exists at January 31,of its investment.

The carrying amount of our goodwill of $259.7 million primarily relates to goodwill associated with our acquisitions of Parametric, Atlanta Capital, and the Tax Advantaged Bond Strategies (TABS) business of M.D. Sass Investor Services that are now combined into a single reporting unit as a consequence of the strategic initiative that we announced in June 2019. This reporting unit has experienced considerable organic growth since acquisition and its financial performance remained strong in the current quarter. Also, our most recent quantitative impairment tests performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 indicated that the fair values of our reporting units were significantly in excess of their carrying amounts. Accordingly, we qualitatively determined that our goodwill was not impaired as of April 30, 2020.

Our indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily include $47.7 million of Calvert mutual fund management contracts acquired in fiscal 2017. Calvert is the centerpiece of our responsible investment strategy, and assets managed under Calvert branded strategies continued to experience growth through the second quarter. Accordingly, we qualitatively determined that these indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired as of April 30, 2020.

 

We periodically review our deferred sales commissions and amortizing identifiable intangible assets for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. There have been no significant changes in the financial condition of these assets in the first threesix months of fiscal 2020 that would indicate that an impairment loss exists at January 31,April 30, 2020.

 

Operating Cash Flows

 

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $17.7$397.1 million in the first threesix months of fiscal 2020 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $34.3$219.7 million in the first threesix months of fiscal 2019. The year-over-year change primarily reflects a decreasean increase in net cash provided by operating activities of consolidated CLO entities, a decreasean increase in net inflows related to the purchase and sale of short-term debt securities, and an increase in net outflows from investment activity of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts partially offset by increasesand an increase due to timing differences in the cash settlements of our other assets and liabilities.

 

Investing Cash Flows

 

Cash provided by investing activities totaled $5.1$27.8 million in the first threesix months of fiscal 2020 compared to cash used for investing activities of $283.1$367.7 million in the first threesix months of fiscal 2019. The year-over-year change primarily reflects a $262.4$363.4 million decreaseincrease in net purchasesproceeds of bank loans and other investments by consolidated CLO entities, a $27.2 million increase in proceeds received by the Company related to the sale of

70


CLO entity note obligations and a $1.5$10.1 million decrease in additions to equipment and leasehold improvement, all partially offset by a $2.9$5.2 million decrease in net proceeds from sale of investments.

 

Financing Cash Flows

 

Cash used for financing activities totaled $55.7$37.0 million in the first threesix months of fiscal 2020. The Company used $80.3$111.3 million to repurchase and retire shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock under our authorized repurchase programs, paid $8.4 million to acquire additional interests in Atlanta Capital and Parametric and received proceeds of $36.0$50.0 million related to the issuance of shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock in connection with the exercise of stock options and other employee stock purchases. As of January 31,April 30, 2020, we had authorization to purchase an additional 4.92.4 million shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock under our current share repurchase authorization. We anticipate that repurchases of our Non-Voting Common Stock will continue to be an ongoing use of cash.

 

Our dividends declared per share were $0.375 in the first threesix months of fiscal 2020 and we paid an additional $2.3$4.7 million of dividends in the first threesix months of fiscal 2020 versus the first threesix months of fiscal 2019. We currently expect to declare and pay quarterly dividends on our Voting and Non-Voting Common Stock comparable to the dividend declared in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2020. Cash provided by financing activities of consolidated CLO entities in the first quartersix months of fiscal 2019 included $68.5$151.8 million of proceeds received from a warehouse line of credit.

 

63


Contractual Obligations

 

We have future obligations under various contracts relating to debt, interest payments and operating leases. During the first threesix months ended January 31,April 30, 2020, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations as previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2019, except as discussed below.

 

Vested profit units (non‐controlling interests) held by employees in the Atlanta Capital long‐term equity incentive plan are not subject to mandatory redemption. Our repurchase of these non‐controlling interests is predicated on the exercise of a series of put options held by profit unit holders and call options held by us. The put options provide the profit unit holders the right to require us to repurchase their interests at specified intervals over time. The call options we hold provide us with the right to require the profit unit holders to sell their interests to us at specified intervals over time, as well as upon the occurrence of certain events such as death or permanent disability. These non‐controlling interests are redeemable at fair value. There is uncertainty as to the timing and amount of any purchases of vested profit units in the future. At January 31,April 30, 2020, there are no amounts payable to non-controlling interest holders of Atlanta Capital to repurchase vested profit units. In fiscal 2017, the Company introduced a phantom incentive plan for Atlanta Capital that provides for the award of phantom incentive units to eligible employees that are indexed to the per unit enterprise value of Atlanta Capital and settled in shares of our Non‐Voting Common Stock at vesting. As a consequence of introducing this stock‐based compensation plan, we ceased granting profit units to employees of Atlanta Capital under the long‐term equity incentive plan.

 

We report all redeemable non‐controlling interests in temporary equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at

estimated redemption value. The estimated redemption value of our non-controlling interests totaled $336.1$211.1 million on January 31,April 30, 2020 compared to $285.9 million on October 31, 2019. Redeemable non-controlling interests at January 31,April 30, 2020 consisted of vested profit units held by employees of Atlanta Capital granted under the Atlanta Capital long‐term equity incentive plan of $25.6$20.6 million and equity interests in our consolidated sponsored funds held by third‐party shareholders of $310.5$190.5 million.

71


 

Foreign Subsidiaries

As of January 31,April 30, 2020, we consider the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. As of January 31,April 30, 2020, we had approximately $4.8$10.7 million of undistributed earnings, primarily from operations in the U.K., thatwhich are not available to fund domestic operations or to distribute to our shareholders unless repatriated. In consideration of the treatment of taxable distributions, under the 2017 Tax Act, the impact of Global Intangible Low Taxed Income on the Company’s future foreign earnings and lack of withholding tax imposed by certain foreign governments, any future tax liability with respect to these undistributed earnings is immaterial.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide financing, liquidity, market or credit risk support or engage in any leasing activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no updatesThe preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to ourmake judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our critical accounting policies from thosereflect our accounting policies that require significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. Below is an update to our critical accounting policies driven by the uncertainty associated with COVID-19 and the increase in the level of judgment required to apply the policy.

Fair value measurements

The accounting standards for fair value measurement provide a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset, or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The Company has a 49 percent equity interest in Hexavest Inc. (Hexavest), a Montreal, Canada-based investment adviser. The investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments in equity method investees are evaluated for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company noted a decline in Hexavest’s managed assets driven primarily by equity market declines and net client withdrawals. An interim impairment test was performed indicating that the estimated fair value of the investment had fallen below the carrying value as of April 30, 2020, an initial indicator of impairment. However, the Company determined that the investment is not other-than-temporarily impaired, as the duration of the decline in fair value was short and this was the first period end when fair value of the Company’s investment dropped below its carrying value. The Company has no intention of disposing of its investment in Hexavest. The severity and duration of the market decline and other events related to COVID-19 could further reduce the fair value of the Company’s investment; as a result, future impairment tests could result in the Company recognizing an other-than-temporary impairment of its investment. For additional information on risks related to COVID-19, see Part II, Item 1A. - Risk Factors.

Accounting Developments

 

On November 1, 2019, the Company fully adopted a new accounting standard related to leases. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Item 1, Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

There have been no material changes in our Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk from those previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2019.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31,April 30, 2020. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rule and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our CEO and CFO participated in this evaluation and concluded that, as of January 31,April 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the firstsecond quarter of our fiscal year endedending October 31, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to evaluate the impact, if any, on their design and operating effectiveness.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

There have been no material developments in litigation previously reported in our SEC filings.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

ThereThe following is an update to Part I, “Item 1A- Risk Factors,” contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption in global financial markets, with numerous financial instruments experiencing price weakness. This has resulted in a decline in our assets under management and negatively affects our revenue and earnings. If financial markets remain depressed or worsen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our assets under management, revenue and earnings will be further adversely affected, which impact could be material, and our investments in equity method investees and cost method investments could become impaired.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the manner in which we operate. While we have been no material changesin place business continuity plans that address potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to our Risk Factorspersonnel and our facilities, and technologies which enable our personnel to work remotely, no assurance can be given that the steps we have taken will continue to be effective or appropriate. While our employees have to date been able to continue conducting business while working remotely, operational challenges may arise in the future, which may reduce our organizational efficiency or effectiveness, and increase operational, compliance and cybersecurity risks. In addition, because most of our employees have not previously worked remotely for an extended period of time, we are unsure of the impact that the remote work environment and lack of in-person meetings with colleagues, clients and business partners will have on the growth of our business and the results of our operations. Many of the key service providers we rely on also have transitioned to working remotely. If we or they were to experience material disruptions in the ability of our or their employees to work remotely (e.g., from those previously reportedillness due to COVID-19 or disruption in internet-based communication systems and networks), our ability to operate our business could be materially adversely disrupted. Any such material adverse disruptions to our business operations could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

The extent to which our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial results are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on future developments, which cannot be accurately predicted and are uncertain, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and length of time it will take for the financial markets and economy to recover and for our employees to safely return to the workplace. In addition, many of the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2019.2019 are heightened by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic conditions and could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
