•Repurchased 1.2 million common shares for $25 million during the quarter

Update from Andrew Schlossberg, President and CEO
"We continue to perform well against our strategic priorities, leveraging Invesco's unique position to drive growth in the highest opportunity regions, channels and asset classes. We reached record assets under management of $2.1 trillion with strong net long-term inflows of nearly $29 billion, or 8% annualized organic growth. Even more encouraging was the breadth of inflows, reflecting our diversified and scaled global platform. We continued to generate significant positive operating leverage and operating margin improvement as long-term assets under management grew 16% over last year, driving revenue growth, while expenses were well managed. We reduced debt during the quarter while making ongoing common share repurchases as we remain focused on strengthening the balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders."

U.S. GAAP Operating Results:

Third Quarter 2025 compared to Second Quarter 2025
Operating revenues and expenses: Operating revenues increased $124.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter. Investment management fees and Service and distribution fees increased $83.8 million and $36.9 million, respectively, primarily driven by higher average AUM. Performance fees were $6.5 million for the quarter and were earned primarily from private markets products. Foreign exchange rate changes increased operating revenues by $5.9 million.
Operating expenses increased $68.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter. Third-party distribution, service and advisory costs increased $57.6 million primarily due to higher average AUM. Employee compensation expense increased $11.2 million primarily due to higher variable compensation and staff costs of $28.1 million, partially offset by $16.9 million of severance expense recorded in the second quarter related to the reorganization of the fundamental equities investment teams. Marketing expenses decreased $3.0 million. Property, office and technology costs decreased $9.0 million primarily due to an $8.0 million software impairment recorded in the second quarter related to a strategic change to the company's fixed income investment platform. General and administrative expenses increased $12.1 million primarily due to expenses related to newly launched consolidated investment products (CIP). Foreign exchange rate changes increased operating expenses by $5.4 million.
Non-operating income and expenses: Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $34.8 million, earned primarily from our China joint venture. Interest and dividend income was $10.5 million earned primarily from cash and cash equivalents and seed capital investments. Interest expense was $25.7 million which includes interest from the bank term loans we entered into in the second quarter of 2025. Other gains/(losses) were a net loss of $0.8 million, primarily driven by a $35.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to the previously announced divestiture of intelliflo which is expected to close in the fourth quarter. This was partially offset by market value changes in deferred compensation and seed capital investments. Other income/(expense) of CIP was a gain of $57.0 million, primarily driven by net interest income earned by CIP as well as market gains on the underlying investments held by the funds.
The effective tax rate was (2.8)% in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to 28.1% in the second quarter. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to the favorable resolution of a tax matter, including the impact of a decrease in the deferred income tax rate and the reversal of a reserve for uncertain tax positions.
Diluted earnings per common share: Diluted earnings per common share was $0.66 for the third quarter of 2025. The impairment charge related to the divestiture of intelliflo negatively impacted third quarter diluted EPS by $0.08.

Operating revenues and expenses: Operating revenues increased $125.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. Investment management fees increased $84.2 million driven by higher average AUM, partially offset by the impacts of secular shifts in client demand which have altered our asset mix. Service and distribution fees increased $40.4 million primarily due to higher average AUM. Foreign exchange rate changes increased operating revenues by $15.6 million.
Operating expenses decreased $45.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. Third-party distribution, service and advisory costs increased $58.7 million primarily due to higher average AUM. Employee compensation expenses decreased $103.8 million primarily due to a one-time acceleration of $147.6 million in expense in the third quarter of 2024 resulting from changes to the retirement criteria for vesting of outstanding long-term awards, partially offset by higher variable compensation and staff costs. Property, office and technology costs decreased $9.8 million. General and administrative expenses increased $10.5 million primarily due to expenses related to newly launched CIP, partially offset by lower professional fees. Foreign exchange rate changes increased operating expenses by $13.3 million.
Non-operating income and expenses: Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $32.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily driven by higher earnings from our private markets investments and our China joint venture investment. Other gains/(losses) decreased $29.1 million primarily due to the above noted $35.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to the divestiture of intelliflo. Other income/(expense) of CIP increased $40.3 million primarily due to higher market gains on the underlying investments held by the funds and higher net interest income earned by CIP.
