Read MoreHide Full Article

Invesco’s (IVZ - Free Report) third-quarter 2022 adjusted earnings of 34 cents per share have missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 43 cents by a significant margin. The bottom line plunged 55.8% from the prior-year quarter. Our estimate for earnings was 49 cents.

Shares of IVZ lost 1.1% in pre-market trading in response to the lower-than-expected quarterly performance. The full-day trading session will display a clearer picture.

Results have been adversely impacted by lower assets under management (AUM) balance and long-term outflows, which hurt revenues. However, a decline in operating expenses was a tailwind.

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to common shareholders was $177.4 million or 39 cents per share, down from $330.1 million or 71 cents per share a year ago.

Revenues & Expenses Decline

Adjusted net revenues were $1.11 billion, falling 16.7% year over year. The top line lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.14 billion. Our estimate for revenues was $1.16 billion.

Adjusted operating expenses were $741.2 million, down 4% year over year.

The adjusted operating margin was 33.3%, down from 42.1% a year ago.

AUM Balance Falls

The company witnessed long-term net outflows of $7.7 billion in the quarter.

Balance Sheet Strong

As of Sep 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $1.02 billion compared with $1.90 billion as of Dec 31, 2021.

Our View

Invesco remains well-poised to benefit from its global footprint, product offerings and strategic buyouts. However, elevated expenses, a challenging market environment and high debt levels are major near-term concerns.
