OMAM REPORTS FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH
QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
OM Asset Management plc (OMAM), the majority-owned subsidiary of Old Mutual plc, today reports its
results for the fourth quarter and year ended 31 December 2016.
The following is an extract from the OMAM announcement and the full announcement is available via the
OMAM website – http://ir.omam.com/investor-relations/news/


“OMAM Reports Financial and Operating Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended
December 31, 2016


    -   U.S. GAAP earnings of $25.3 million ($0.21 per share) for the quarter, down (31.4)% compared
        to the 2015 period, and $126.4 million ($1.05 per share) for the year, down (18.7)% compared to
        the 2015 period
    -   Economic net income of $38.9 million ($0.33 per share) for the quarter, up 6.6% compared to the
        2015 period, and $145.1 million ($1.21 per share) for the year, down (3.1)% compared to the
        2015 period (excluding the non-recurring performance fee)
    -   AUM of $240.4 billion at December 31, 2016, up 13.2% from December 31, 2015
    -   Net client cash flows ("NCCF") for the quarter of $1.5 billion with an annualized revenue impact of
        $14.6 million; full year NCCF of $(1.6) billion with an annualized revenue impact of $11.0 million
    -   Completed a secondary public offering of 14.95 million ordinary shares on behalf of Old Mutual
        plc, with a concurrent repurchase of six million shares from Old Mutual plc, both at a price of
        $14.25 per share, in December 2016

“OMAM had a strong finish to 2016 from both a financial and strategic perspective, as successful
execution of our growth strategy drove improved results across our business,” said Peter L. Bain,
OMAM’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “A return to fundamental valuation in the equity market
environment during the fourth quarter favored active asset management, and our equity-oriented
Affiliates produced outperformance for their clients across a range of strategies. Net client cash flows for
the fourth quarter were also strong at $1.5 billion, and while net flows for the full year 2016 were $(1.6)
billion due largely to hard asset disposals and continued outflows in domestic large cap value products,
gross flows into higher fee global, international equity and alternative products, including secondary
strategies, resulted in annualized organic revenue growth of $14.6 million for the quarter and $11.0
million for the year.

“Our ability to deliver revenue growth from net client cash flows is a direct result of our differentiated
multiboutique business model. Many of the strong-performing, in-demand strategies delivering
incremental growth this year were developed through OMAM’s collaborative engagement with Affiliates to
diversify and expand their businesses, and in several cases were marketed by our Global Distribution
team. In addition, our partnership with Landmark Partners is off to a strong start, which contributed to our
earnings and net client cash flows during the quarter. Overall, 22.7% of our total gross sales of $29.9
billion in 2016 stemmed from OMAM’s ongoing acquisition and strategic initiatives.”

Mr. Bain concluded, “OMAM is well positioned to continue to increase shareholder value by supporting
ongoing collaborative initiatives, investing in additional boutique asset management firms, and where
appropriate, funding further share repurchases. The success of our secondary offering and share
repurchase in December specifically enhanced the liquidity of our publicly traded stock and further
enhanced overall value for our shareholders.””
