Read MoreHide Full Article

Invesco’s (IVZ - Free Report) third-quarter 2023 adjusted earnings of 35 cents per share lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 36 cents. The bottom line, however, rose 2.9% from the prior-year quarter.

Results were hurt by a rise in operating expenses and lower revenues. Nevertheless, an increase in assets under management (AUM) balance on decent inflows aided the results to some extent.

On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to common shareholders was $131.4 million or 29 cents per share, down from $177.4 million or 39 cents per share a year ago. Our estimate for net income was $153.8 million.

Revenues Decline, Expenses Rise

Adjusted quarterly net revenues were $1.1 billion, falling 1.1% year over year. The top line marginally beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.09 billion.

Adjusted operating expenses were $789 million, up 6.4% year over year. We expected the metric to be $777.8 million.

The adjusted operating margin was 28.2%, down from 33.3% a year ago.

AUM Balance Increases

As of Sep 30, 2023, AUM was $1.49 trillion, which increased 12.4% year over year. Average AUM at the third-quarter end totaled $1.53 trillion, up 7.9%. Our estimates for total AUM and average AUM were $1.56 trillion and $1.55 trillion, respectively.

The company witnessed long-term net inflows of $2.6 billion in the quarter.

Balance Sheet Strong

As of Sep 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $1.24 billion compared with $1.01 billion as of Jun 30, 2023.

Long-term debt was $1.49 billion. The credit facility balance was nil as of Sep 30, 2023.

Share Repurchase Update

During the reported quarter, Invesco repurchased shares worth $90 million.

Our View

Invesco is 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.
