- Ending AUM fell 12.5%, reflecting $243.5 billion in market losses and $26.1 billion in adverse foreign-currency translation. Total net flows were positive $52.7 billion, largely because money-market funds drew $56.4 billion; net long-term flows were slightly negative at $0.5 billion.
- Cash and cash equivalents were $1.235 billion, down from $1.896 billion. Total available liquidity, including the undrawn $1.5 billion revolver, was $2.735 billion. The credit facility had no borrowings at year-end.
- Debt was $1.488 billion, down from $2.085 billion after the company redeemed $600 million of notes. The company reported a 0.78:1 leverage ratio and 19.51:1 interest coverage ratio, in compliance with its covenants.
- Capital expenditures were $192.9 million. The company paid $334.8 million in common dividends and $236.8 million in preferred dividends, and repurchased $200 million of common shares.
Material changes versus 2021
- Operating revenue declined 12.3%; investment management fees fell 12.8%, principally due to lower average AUM and reduced revenue yields. Net revenue yield, excluding performance fees and QQQ, declined to 35.5 basis points from 39.1.
- Operating income declined to $1.32 billion, and GAAP operating margin contracted by 4.1 percentage points. Adjusted operating margin fell by 6.7 percentage points.
- Net income attributable to Invesco declined to $683.9 million. Lower operating income and a swing in other gains and losses—from a $120.5 million gain to a $139.5 million loss—were important factors. The effective tax rate increased to 25.8% from 21.2%.
- Market losses were concentrated in equity and balanced assets; money-market AUM rose to $203.5 billion from $148.8 billion, supported by inflows. Institutional AUM increased to $536.9 billion, while retail AUM declined to $872.3 billion.
Outlook, management commentary, risks and unusual items
- Management described 2022 markets as challenging amid high inflation, rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions. It highlighted net long-term inflows in ETFs, fixed income, Greater China and the institutional channel.
- The company reported $213 million in annualized savings in 2022, exceeding its original $200 million goal. Its strategic expense evaluation was expected to conclude by the end of the first quarter of 2023; management anticipated further restructuring costs through that quarter. No quantified earnings or revenue guidance is provided in the filing text.
- Management said it would continue investing in ETFs, fixed income, China, solutions, alternatives and global equities, and described a longer-term commitment to modestly increasing dividends and repurchasing shares. The CEO transition was announced for June 30, 2023: Andrew R. Schlossberg was to succeed Martin L. Flanagan.
- Risks include market declines and outflows reducing fee revenue, continued fee pressure and shifts to passive products, investment underperformance, foreign-exchange movements, regulatory and tax changes, cyber and operational incidents, key-person retention, and litigation. Management said probable and estimable legal losses were adequately accrued and did not expect ultimate resolution to materially affect the business, revenue, net income or liquidity.
- Unusual or notable items included $132.5 million of losses on deferred-compensation investments and instruments, $17.9 million of seed-money investment losses, and $55 million of recoveries related to an OppenheimerFunds acquisition matter. The 2022 cash-flow statement includes CIP; management separately presents cash flow excluding CIP because CIP cash and debt are not available to or obligations of Invesco.
- The filing reports $336.1 million of undrawn co-investment commitments and maximum future payments of $273.9 million under certain investment-product equity commitments and $30 million under guarantees; management considered the likelihood of funding those commitments remote. The company reported effective internal control over financial reporting, and the auditor issued unqualified opinions on the financial statements and internal controls.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Review subsequent AUM and flow data, especially whether long-term flows recover and whether money-market inflows persist.
- Track net revenue yield, active-versus-passive mix and operating margins to assess fee pressure and operating leverage.
- Confirm cash available to the parent after subsidiary regulatory-capital restrictions, debt maturities and preferred dividend obligations.
- Evaluate delivery of the announced savings, remaining restructuring costs and investment spending, including technology and the Atlanta headquarters move.
- Review the full notes on legal matters, tax uncertainties, investment commitments, deferred-compensation exposures and the non-GAAP reconciliations; the filing’s adjusted measures are not substitutes for U.S. GAAP results.
