First quarter 2026 operating income was US$113.9 million compared to US$487.4 million in the fourth quarter 2025 and US$153.6 million in the first quarter 2025.

Ali Dibadj, Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"Our first quarter results are solid, reflecting our resilience in a challenging market. We achieved year-over-year improvements in net flows and, on an adjusted basis, operating revenues, operating income, and EPS, while continuing to execute our strategy to Protect and Grow, Amplify, and Diversify our business. Our diversified and truly global platform positions us well to serve our clients, and we remain committed to the strategic priorities that are driving meaningful and sustained improvement in our financial results.

"We are pleased with the progress made toward the closing of the previously announced take-private transaction with Trian Fund Management, L.P. and its affiliated funds ("Trian") and General Catalyst Group Management, LLC and its affiliated funds ("General Catalyst"). The overwhelming shareholder approval of the transaction in April marks a key milestone towards completion. The transaction with Trian and General Catalyst is expected to close in mid-2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and client consents.

"I want to thank our valued employees for their hard work and dedication. As we navigate this exciting path forward, our focus remains on delivering differentiated insights, disciplined investment excellence, and world-class service to our clients—the commitment that defines Janus Henderson and drives everything we do."

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS (unaudited) (in US$ millions, except per share data or as noted)

The Company presents its financial results in US$ and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, JHG management evaluates the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations using additional non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate the business, and adjusted values are consistent with internal management reporting. See “Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information” below for additional information.

PROPOSED MERGER

As previously announced, the Company has entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by Trian and General Catalyst (the "Proposed Transaction"). While the Proposed Transaction remains pending, the Company will not hold conference calls or live webcasts to discuss its financial results.

AUM AND FLOWS (in US$ billions)

FX reflects movement in AUM resulting from changes in foreign currency rates as non-US$ denominated AUM is translated into US$. Redemptions include impact of client transfers.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

% of AUM outperforming benchmark (as of March 31, 2026)

Outperformance is measured based on composite performance gross of fees versus primary benchmark, except where a strategy has no benchmark index or corresponding composite, in which case the most relevant metric is used: (1) composite gross of fees versus zero for absolute return strategies, (2) fund net of fees versus primary index, or (3) fund net of fees versus Morningstar peer group average or median. Non-discretionary and separately managed account assets are included with a corresponding composite where applicable.

Cash management vehicles; ETF-enhanced beta strategies; legacy Tabula passive ETFs; Fixed Income Buy & Maintain mandates; legacy Guardian, NBK Capital Partners, and Victory Park Capital funds; Managed CDOs; Private Equity funds; and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Excluded assets represent 14% of AUM. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we compute certain financial measures using non-GAAP components, as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Forward-looking statements

Certain statements in this press release not based on historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those discussed. These include statements as to our future expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, events, conditions, financial performance, prospects or future events, including with respect to the timing and anticipated benefits of pending and recently completed transactions and strategic partnerships, and expectations regarding opportunities that align with our strategy. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” and similar words and phrases. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made and are not guarantees of future performance. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements.

Various risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this press release include, but are not limited to, the impact of any alternative proposal, Janus Henderson’s ability to obtain the regulatory, client and other approvals required to consummate the Proposed Transaction and the timing of the closing of the Proposed Transaction, including the risks that a condition to closing would not be satisfied within the expected timeframe or at all or that the closing of the Proposed Transaction would not occur, the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others related to the merger agreement, that shareholder litigation in connection with the Proposed Transaction may affect the timing or occurrence of the Proposed Transaction or result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability, unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the Proposed Transaction, including the impact of the Proposed Transaction on Janus Henderson’s business, that the Proposed Transaction generally may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays, that the business of Janus Henderson may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the Proposed Transaction or the identity of the purchaser, that Janus Henderson may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors, including the net asset value of assets in certain of Janus Henderson’s funds, and/or potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the Proposed Transaction, changes in interest rates and inflation, changes in trade policies (including the imposition of new or increased tariffs), volatility or disruption in financial markets, our investment performance as compared to third-party benchmarks or competitive products, redemptions, and other risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in other filings or furnishings made by Janus Henderson with the SEC from time to time.
