Invesco Ltd.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Corporate Information
Invesco Ltd. (Parent) and all of its consolidated entities (collectively, the company or Invesco) provide retail and institutional clients with an array of global investment management capabilities. The company operates globally, and its sole business is investment management.
Certain disclosures included in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (annual report or Form 10-K) are not required to be included on an interim basis in the company’s quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q (Report). The company has condensed or omitted these disclosures. Therefore, this Report should be read in conjunction with the company’s annual report.
Basis of Accounting and Consolidation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and consolidate the financial statements of the Parent and all of its controlled subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions, balances, revenues and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
Leases. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). Topic 842 requires that lessees recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a lease term greater than 12 months. The company adopted the leases standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach.
The company recorded a right-of-use asset of approximately $200.9 million and lease liability of approximately $251.5 million, primarily related to real estate operating leases on January 1, 2019 with no cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. The impact of the adoption of the standard on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was not material. The company continues to recognize lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The initial recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability represented a non-cash activity related to the statement of cash flows.
As of May 24, 2019, the company recorded an additional right-of-use asset of $144.3 million and lease liability of approximately $144.0 million in connection with the OppenheimerFunds acquisition. These amounts are included in Other assets and Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the table of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed in Note 2, “Business Combinations.” The initial recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability represented a non-cash activity related to the statement of cash flows.
The package of three practical expedients applicable to the company have been elected which resulted in the company not having to reassess whether expired or existing contracts upon adoption contained a lease as well as retaining the historical classifications of the company’s leases and initial direct costs. The company also elected the hindsight practical expedient in evaluating lessee options.
The company elected both at transition and on an ongoing basis, to combine lease and non-lease components in calculating the lease liability and right-of-use asset for all operating leases.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Instruments. In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 amends guidance reporting credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available for sale securities. The new guidance adds an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The company has determined that there will be no material impact upon adoption of this amendment.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On May 24, 2019, the company acquired Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company’s (MassMutual) asset management affiliate, OppenheimerFunds, with consideration to MassMutual and OppenheimerFunds employee shareholders consisting of $35.0 million in cash, 81.9 million shares of common stock and $4.0 billion in perpetual, non-cumulative preferred shares with a 21-year non-call period and a fixed rate of 5.9%. The 81.9 million shares are composed of 75.7 million common shares issued on the closing date and 6.2 million Invesco restricted common stock awards granted to employee shareholders. MassMutual has an approximate 16.7% stake in the common stock of the combined firm as of September 30, 2019. Invesco and MassMutual entered into a shareholder agreement, in which MassMutual has customary minority shareholder rights, including representation on Invesco’s board of directors. The shareholder agreement with MassMutual specifies a lock-up period of two years for the common stock and five years for the preferred stock. MassMutual may not sell common or preferred shares received as purchase consideration during the respective lock-up periods.
The acquired business enhances the company’s ability to meet client needs through its comprehensive range of high-conviction active, passive and alternative capabilities.
The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the transaction. The issuance of common stock and preferred stock consideration represents a non-cash financing activity related to the statement of cash flows.

Table of Contents    
    

                                    

The following table summarizes the estimate of amounts of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as well as the consideration transferred to acquire OppenheimerFunds. Consideration transferred increased by $15.4 million due to a net working capital adjustment, settled in cash. The allocation of the purchase price has been updated in the table below for the net working capital adjustment as well as other valuation adjustments during the quarter. Additional changes to the allocation to certain assets, liabilities and tax estimates are not expected but could occur. The company will finalize the acquisition accounting (including the valuation) within the required measurement period, but in no event not later than one year from May 24, 2019. The updated valuations would not have had a material impact on depreciation and amortization expense if they had been recorded as of the acquisition date.

(1)
Intangible assets are comprised of the following:
indefinite-lived intangible asset related to management contracts of $4,907.0 million consists primarily of contracts related to mutual funds.
finite-lived intangible asset related to management contracts of $255.0 million consists primarily of contracts related to sub-advised accounts and has an estimated useful life of eight years.
acquired trade name asset of $27.0 million has an estimated useful life of six years.
The intangible assets created in the acquisition are not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
(2)
Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the total consideration transferred and the aggregate values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill created in the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill balance resulted primarily from the opening balance sheet net deferred tax liability.
(3)
The common shares were fair valued using the company’s market price on closing date and reflects a discount for the common shares issued to MassMutual (75,563,041 shares) with a two-year lock-up period, resulting in a value of

approximately $19.195 per share. Common shares issued to OppenheimerFunds employee shareholders (153,574 shares) were valued at the market price on closing date, which was $20.42.
(4)
The preferred shares were fair valued using a discounted cash flow model, resulting in a value of $1,000 per share.
(5)
Other consideration primarily consists of the fair value of the vested portion of replacement employee common share-based awards.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019 are as follows, with the addition primarily due to the OppenheimerFunds acquisition:

Operating revenues of the acquired business from May 24 through June 30, 2019 were approximately $217.1 million, which represents the incremental impact of the acquired business and does not represent the stand-alone results of the acquired business. Net income is not available to be separately reported. Total revenues, expenses and net income of the acquired business in periods subsequent to June 30, 2019 are not available to be separately reported due to the continued integration of the combined businesses.
Transaction and integration costs related to the OppenheimerFunds acquisition included within the Transaction, integration, and restructuring line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $179.4 million and $510.0 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Of these amounts, $8.1 million and $57.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, were transaction-related costs, which primarily relate to advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees.

Put option contracts
The company purchased an additional put option contract for $3.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to hedge economically foreign currency risk on the translation of a portion of its Pound Sterling-denominated earnings into U.S. Dollars, providing coverage through June 30, 2020.
Total Return Swaps
In addition to holding equity investments, the company has a total return swap (TRS) to hedge economically certain deferred compensation liabilities. The notional value of the total return swap at September 30, 2019 was $127.9 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, market valuation losses of $0.4 million and gains of $11.1 million, respectively were recognized in other gains and losses, net.
The company also has total return swaps with respect to certain ETFs. Under the terms of each total return swap, the company receives the related market gains or losses on the underlying investments and pays a floating rate to the respective counterparty. At September 30, 2019, the aggregate notional value of the total return swaps was $162.5 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, market valuation gains of $1.6 million and $9.7 million, respectively were recognized in other gains and losses, net.
Contingent Consideration Liability
At September 30, 2019 inputs used in the model to determine the liability related to the pre-existing contingent consideration arrangement included assumed growth rates in forecasted AUM ranging from (9.44)% to 5.73% (weighted average growth rate of (0.54)%) and a discount rate of 3.54%. An increase in AUM levels and/or a decrease in the discount rate would increase the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, while a decrease in forecasted AUM and/or an increase in the discount rate would decrease the liability. Changes in fair value are recorded in other gains and losses, net in the period incurred.
In connection with the OppenheimerFunds acquisition (see Note 2, “Business Combinations”), Invesco acquired a $13.6 million contingent consideration liability related to a historical OppenheimerFunds transaction. The liability is contingent upon the attainment of certain revenue growth objectives during 2019 and 2020. As of September 30, 2019, inputs used to determine the liability related to these arrangements primarily include assumed growth rates in management fees ranging from 28% to 33% and a discount rate of 10.7%.

On July 2, 2019 and August 27, 2019, the company entered into forward contracts to purchase 10.0 million and 6.0 million common shares, respectively, at a strike price of $20.00, and $16.59 per common share, respectively and recorded treasury shares in the amount of $193.7 million, and $102.6 million, respectively. Treasury shares were calculated by multiplying the number of common shares being purchased by the fair market value of Invesco’s common share price as of the hedge
completion date of July 30, 2019 and September 27, 2019, respectively. The company has recorded a corresponding payable to the counterparty, which represents the present value of the amount to be paid at settlement, discounted by using the implicit interest rate at inception of the forward contract. The implicit interest rate was calculated using the effective interest method. The payable includes a discount on the forward purchase price represented by the difference between the fair market value of the common share price and the strike price on hedge completion date. The forward contracts represent non-cash activity related to the statement of cash flows until the common shares are physically settled, which is expected to occur on April 1, 2021. The company’s total liability and collateral related to forward contracts including the forward contract entered into on May 13, 2019 is $495.8 million and $63.8 million, respectively, which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other assets, respectively on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019.

Net Investment Hedge
The company designated certain intercompany debt as a non-derivative net investment hedging instrument against foreign currency exposure related to its net investment in foreign operations. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, £130 million ($160.2 million and $165.6 million, respectively) of intercompany debt was designated as a net investment hedge. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized foreign currency gains of $5.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018: gains of $2.1 million and $6.4 million, respectively) resulting from the net investment hedge within currency translation differences on investments in foreign subsidiaries in other comprehensive income.

As discussed in Note 2. “Business Combinations,” 6.2 million Invesco restricted common stock awards (RSAs) were granted to OppenheimerFunds employee shareholders as part of the consideration transferred for the OppenheimerFunds acquisition. These RSAs generally have a 4-year cliff-vesting. Dividends and cash payments in lieu of dividends are deferred and are paid at the same rate as on the common shares if and to the extent the award vests. There are accelerated vesting provisions that apply to these RSAs.
The total fair value of common shares that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $161.0 million (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $156.1 million). The weighted average grant date fair value of the common share awards that were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $14.47 (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $32.09).
At September 30, 2019, there was $339.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested common share awards; that cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.58 years.

10.  OPERATING LEASES
The company leases office space in almost all its locations of business, data centers and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The operating leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 6.62 years and generally include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 10 years. Certain lease arrangements include an option to terminate the lease if a notification is provided to the landlord within 1-9 years prior to the end of the lease term. The company has sole discretion in exercising lease renewal and termination options. The lease terms used in the company’s lease measurements do not include renewal options as they are not reasonably certain to be exercised as of the date of this report.
The company elected to combine lease and non-lease components in calculating the lease liability and right-of-use asset for operating leases.
Variable lease payments are determined based on the terms and conditions outlined in the lease contracts and are primarily determined in relation to the extent of the company’s usage of the right-of use-asset or the nature and extent of services received from the lessor.
As of September 30, 2019, the right-of-use asset of $330.7 million was included within Other assets, and the lease liability of $371.4 million was included within Accounts payable and accrued expenses, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The components of lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:

In determining the discount rate, the company considered the interest rate yield for specific interest rate environments and the company’s credit spread at the inception of the lease.
The weighted-average discount rate for the operating lease liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 3.51%.

Excluded from the tables above is an additional operating lease for the company’s new Atlanta headquarters that was entered into during third quarter of 2019, but has not yet commenced.  The expected lease obligations are approximately $232.5 million which will be paid over an expected lease term of 15 years.  This operating lease will commence in fiscal year 2022 and will replace the company’s existing lease for the current headquarters.

At September 30, 2019, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $70.0 million as compared to the December 31, 2018 total of $20.0 million. As a result of the OppenheimerFunds acquisition, $54.1 million was recorded to the opening balance sheet at May 24, 2019 to reflect OppenheimerFunds’ historical uncertain tax positions. One of OppenheimerFunds’ tax positions was favorably settled during the second quarter, resulting in a $5.3 million reduction. Of the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, $54.1 million (net of tax benefits in other jurisdictions and the federal benefit of state taxes) represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in future periods.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes accrued interest and penalties of $12.7 million at September 30, 2019, reflecting $9.5 million for accrued interest and penalties recorded to the opening balance sheet for OppenheimerFunds’ historical uncertain tax positions. OppenheimerFunds’ pre-closing tax liabilities are subject to indemnification from MassMutual per the transaction agreement. At September 30, 2019, a tax indemnification asset of $22.1 million is included in “Other assets” as the remainder was funded via the acquired net working capital. As a result of potential legislative changes; settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the company's gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of $5.0 million to $15.0 million.

See Note 9, “Common Share-Based Compensation,” for a summary of common share awards outstanding under the company’s common share-based compensation programs. These programs could result in the issuance of common shares from time to time that would affect the measurement of basic and diluted earnings per common share.
There were 0.7 million common shares of performance-vested awards and no time-vested awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to their inclusion being anti-dilutive (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018: 0.9 million and 0.7 million). There were no contingently issuable common shares excluded from the diluted earnings per common share computation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018: none), because the necessary performance conditions for the common shares to be issuable had not yet been satisfied at the end of the respective period.
13.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments and contingencies may arise in the ordinary course of business.
Off Balance Sheet Commitments
The company has committed to co-invest in certain sponsored investment products which may be called in future periods. At September 30, 2019, the company’s undrawn capital commitments were $282.9 million (December 31, 2018: $391.6 million).
The Parent and various company subsidiaries have entered into agreements with financial institutions to guarantee certain obligations of other company subsidiaries. The company would be required to perform under these guarantees in the event of certain defaults. The company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Table of Contents    
    

                                    

Legal Contingencies
The company is from time to time involved in litigation relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The nature and progression of litigation can make it difficult to predict the impact a particular lawsuit will have on the company. There are many reasons that the company cannot make these assessments, including, among others, one or more of the following: the proceeding is in its early stages; the damages sought are unspecified, unsupportable, unexplained or uncertain; the claimant is seeking relief other than compensatory damages; the matter presents novel legal claims or other meaningful legal uncertainties; discovery has not started or is not complete; there are significant facts in dispute; and there are other parties who may share in any ultimate liability.
In management’s opinion, adequate accrual has been made as of September 30, 2019 to provide for any such losses that may arise from matters for which the company could reasonably estimate an amount. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of such claims will not materially affect the company’s business, financial position, results of operation or liquidity. Furthermore, in management’s opinion, it is not possible to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to other litigation contingencies.
The investment management industry also is subject to extensive levels of ongoing regulatory oversight and examination. In the United States, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions in which the company operates, governmental authorities regularly make inquiries, hold investigations and administer market conduct examinations with respect to the company’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Additional lawsuits or regulatory enforcement actions arising out of these inquiries may in the future be filed against the company and related entities and individuals in the United States, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions in which the company and its affiliates operate. Any material loss of investor and/or client confidence as a result of such inquiries and/or litigation could result in a significant decline in AUM, which would have an adverse effect on the company’s future financial results and its ability to grow its business.

Balance Sheet information - newly consolidated VIEs/VOEs
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were three newly consolidated VIEs and five newly consolidated voting rights entities (VOEs) (September 30, 2018: there were twenty-two newly consolidated VIEs and eight newly consolidated VOEs. The table below illustrates the summary balance sheet amounts related to these products before consolidation into the company. The balances below are reflective of the balances existing at the consolidation date after the initial funding of the investments by the company and unrelated third-party investors. The current period activity for the consolidated funds, including the initial funding and subsequent investment of initial cash balances into underlying investments of CIP, is reflected in the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Included in gains/(losses) of CIP, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are $3.0 million in net unrealized gains attributable to investments still held at September 30, 2019 by CIP (for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018: $0.5 million and $0.8 million in net unrealized losses are attributable to investments still held at September 30, 2018 by CIP).
The collateral assets held by consolidated CLOs are primarily invested in senior secured bank loans, bonds, and equity securities. Bank loan investments of $5,758.2 million, which comprise the majority of consolidated CLO portfolio collateral, are senior secured corporate loans from a variety of industries, including but not limited to the aerospace and defense, broadcasting, technology, utilities, household products, healthcare, oil and gas, and finance industries. Bank loan investments mature at various dates between 2019 and 2028, pay interest at LIBOR plus a spread of up to 12.5%, and typically range in S&P credit rating categories from BBB down to unrated. Interest income on bank loans and bonds is recognized based on the unpaid principal balance and stated interest rate of these investments on an accrual basis. At September 30, 2019, the unpaid principal balance exceeds the fair value of the senior secured bank loans and bonds by approximately $120.5 million (December 31, 2018: the unpaid principal balance exceeded the fair value of the senior secured bank loans and bonds by approximately $134.3 million). Approximately less than 0.28% of the collateral assets were in default as of September 30, 2019 and 2018. CLO investments are valued based on price quotations provided by third-party pricing sources. These third-party sources aggregate indicative price quotations daily to provide the company with a price for the CLO investments. The company has developed internal controls to review the reasonableness and completeness of these price quotations on a daily basis. If necessary, price quotations are challenged through a third-party pricing challenge process.
Notes issued by consolidated CLOs mature at various dates between 2026 and 2032 and have a weighted average maturity of 10.78 years. The notes are issued in various tranches with different risk profiles. The interest rates are generally variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread, which varies from 0.55% for the more senior tranches to 7.92% for the more subordinated tranches. The investors in this debt are not affiliated with the company and have no recourse to the general credit of the company for this debt.
Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
At September 30, 2019, there were $32.0 million of investments held by consolidated real estate funds that were valued using recent private market transactions.
At December 31, 2018, there were $11.8 million of investments held by consolidated real estate funds that were valued using recent private market transactions.

15. RELATED PARTIES
Certain managed funds are deemed to be affiliated entities under the related party definition in ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures.” Related parties include those defined in the company’s proxy statement. As a result of the OppenheimerFunds acquisition (see Note 2, “Business Combinations”), MassMutual has an approximate 16.7% stake in the common stock of the company and owns all of the outstanding $4.0 billion in perpetual, non-cumulative preferred shares. Based on the level of shares owned by MassMutual and the corresponding customary minority shareholder rights, which includes representation on Invesco’s board of directors, the company considers MassMutual a related party.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto, which appear elsewhere in this Report. Except for the historical financial information, this Report may include statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” under the United States securities laws. Forward-looking statements include information concerning future results of our operations, expenses, earnings, liquidity, cash flow and capital expenditures, industry or market conditions, assets under management, geopolitical events and their potential impact on the company, acquisitions and divestitures, debt and our ability to obtain additional financing or make payments, regulatory developments, demand for and pricing of our products and other aspects of our business or general economic conditions. In addition, words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” and “would” as well as any other statement that necessarily depends on future events, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, and they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we make such statements based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations. We caution investors not to rely unduly on any forward-looking statements and urge you to carefully consider the risks described in this Report and our most recent Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
You may obtain these reports from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update the information in any public disclosure if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate.
References
In this Report, unless otherwise specified, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “company,” “firm,” “Invesco,” and “Invesco Ltd.” refer to Invesco Ltd., a company incorporated in Bermuda, and its subsidiaries.
Executive Overview
The following executive overview summarizes the significant trends affecting our results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented. This overview and the remainder of this management’s discussion and analysis supplements and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Invesco Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “company” or “Invesco”) and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report.
The three months ended September 30, 2019 saw volatile global equity markets. Markets were pressured by a continued softening stance on monetary policy from central banks helping to offset lingering concerns over trade policies, rising tariffs, and concerns of easing global growth.

In the US, trade tensions accelerated, as tariffs were placed on more than $125 billion of Chinese goods on September 1. China, in turn, placed tariffs on $75 billion of U.S products. The continued trade dispute negatively impacted markets during the quarter and raised concerns of a recession. Accommodative US Federal Reserve policies helped offset these concerns, and the S&P 500 index finished the quarter up 1.2%.

European markets reacted to signs of weakening growth but were similarly assisted by continued accommodative monetary policies from central banks. The European Central Bank cut interest rates in September and announced another quantitative easing program. The Brexit debate continued within the UK weighing on UK equities; however, the FTSE 100 ended the quarter essentially flat from the prior quarter.
A late-quarter rally of Japanese equities helped offset the impact of overall sentiment of a weakening economy, and the Bank of Japan held rates steady at its September meeting. The Nikkei 225 finished the period relatively flat.
Emerging markets saw declines in equity values due to uncertainties over the US-China trade negotiations, general easing of growth in China, and a strong US dollar.
Bond returns for the quarter were broadly positive, as investors sought the relative safety of bonds amidst global growth concerns and geopolitical uncertainties; yields fell during the quarter. The spread between the two- and ten-year US Treasuries inverted briefly in the quarter for the first time since 2007, a recessionary indicator, triggering a flight to safety. These factors helped to lead the U.S. Aggregate Bond Index higher by 2.3% for the quarter.

The company’s financial results are impacted by the fluctuations in exchange rates against the U.S. Dollar, as discussed in the “Foreign Exchange Impact on Balance Sheet, Assets Under Management and Results of Operations” section and the “Results of Operations” section below.
Our revenues are directly influenced by the level and composition of our AUM. As a significant proportion of our AUM is based outside of the U.S., changes in foreign exchange rates result in a change to the mix of U.S. Dollar denominated AUM with AUM denominated in other currencies. As fee rates differ across geographic locations, changes to exchange rates have an impact on the net revenue yields. Therefore, movements in global capital market levels, net new business inflows (or outflows) and changes in the mix of investment products between asset classes and geographies may materially affect our revenues from period to period.
Invesco benefits from our long-term efforts to ensure a diversified base of AUM. One of Invesco’s core strengths, and a key differentiator for the company within the industry, is our broad diversification across client domiciles, asset classes and distribution channels. Our geographic diversification recognizes growth opportunities in different parts of the world. This broad diversification mitigates the impact on Invesco of different market cycles and enables the company to take advantage of growth opportunities in various markets and channels.
On May 24, 2019, the company completed its previously announced acquisition of MassMutual’s asset management affiliate, OppenheimerFunds for $5.6 billion. The strategic acquisition brings Invesco’s total assets under management to $1.2 trillion, further enhancing the company’s ability to meet client needs through its comprehensive range of high-conviction active, passive and alternative capabilities.
The highly complementary investment and distribution capabilities of Invesco and OppenheimerFunds strengthen the combined organization’s ability to provide more relevant investment outcomes to an expanded number of institutional and retail clients in the US and around the globe. Both Invesco’s and OppenheimerFunds’ clients benefit from the acquisition, which incorporates OppenheimerFunds’ high-performing investment capabilities and its powerful US third-party distribution platform with Invesco’s strong and diversified product lineup, global presence, and solutions-driven client outreach. We view this as a multi-year growth story that expands the capabilities we can offer globally while further scaling our business for the benefit of clients.
Invesco has made significant progress toward the integration of the two firms through the combination of middle- and back-office, location strategy and leveraging the scale of the global operating platform. To date, Invesco has achieved $501 million in annualized net expense synergies related to integration of the OppenheimerFunds business, which is in excess of our $475 million target and ahead of schedule. Transaction, integration, and restructuring costs related to the acquisition are expected to increase from the original projection as a result of expenses related to fund mergers that were not contemplated at close, as well as incremental severance costs related to achieving increased net expense synergies. The company also will continue to incur incremental non-cash transaction, integration, and restructuring charges related to accelerated vesting of share-based awards for terminated employees and acceleration of depreciation for software and leasehold improvement assets as well as $120 million related to compensation payments to certain OppenheimerFunds employees, which were granted and funded by MassMutual under the terms of the acquisition.
During the third quarter, the company purchased $314.8 million of its common shares. This amount reflects $300.0 million through a forward contract ($16.0 million shares) and $14.8 million (0.8 million shares) relating to purchases of shares from employees to satisfy tax withholding requirements at the time of share vesting.

In addition, during the third quarter of 2019:
Principles for Responsible Investment, a world leading proponent of responsible investment, has rated Invesco with an A+ rating for the 3rd consecutive year.
Invesco's North America Marketing team and the Global Thought Leadership team won in a number of categories at the recent Gramercy Institute Financial Content Marketing Awards. These awards recognize excellence in financial marketing. 
Invesco ranks #5 in market penetration among ETF providers according to a 2019 Advisors Brandscape study.
Invesco announced the launch of a new suite of defined maturity BulletShares® ETFs with exposure to municipal debt issued by state and local governments.
Other External Factors Impacting Invesco
As one of the leading investment managers in the UK and Europe, we continue to be impacted by continuing uncertainties surrounding Brexit. The UK economy has been in a period of uncertainty with volatility expected in financial markets until the terms of withdrawal are agreed upon. We believe uncertainty in the markets was a factor in the decline in AUM within our UK operations, where AUM from clients domiciled in the UK were $70.1 billion at September 30, 2019 (September 30, 2018: $85.9 billion). At September 30, 2019, approximately 5.9% of our AUM are UK entities providing investment services to EU-based fund management subsidiaries and EU-based clients. Most of this activity is anticipated to be able to continue even if a formal UK exit agreement is not reached.
The manner in which interest rates are calculated could also impact our client portfolios. In July 2017, the Chief Executive of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that the FCA will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the LIBOR benchmark after 2021. This announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021, and it appears likely that LIBOR will be phased out or the methodology for determining LIBOR will be modified by 2021. Changes in the method pursuant to which LIBOR is determined or the discontinuance of LIBOR may adversely affect the amount of interest payable or interest receivable on certain portfolio investments. These changes may also impact the market liquidity and market value of these portfolio investments. Invesco is finalizing its global assessment of exposure in relation to funds utilizing LIBOR based instruments and benchmarks and is prioritizing the mitigation of risks associated with the forecast changes to financial instruments and performance benchmarks referencing existing LIBOR rates, and concurrently any impact on Invesco portfolios and investment strategies.
Presentation of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Impact of Consolidated Investment Products
The company provides investment management services to, and has transactions with, various retail mutual funds and similar entities, private equity, real estate, fund-of-funds, collateralized loan obligation products (CLOs), and other investment entities sponsored by the company for the investment of client assets in the normal course of business. The company serves as the investment manager, making day-to-day investment decisions concerning the assets of the products. Investment products that are consolidated are referred to in this Form 10-Q (Report) as consolidated investment products (CIP). The company’s economic risk with respect to each investment in CIP is limited to its equity ownership and any uncollected management and performance fees. See also Note 14, “Consolidated Investment Products,” for additional information regarding the impact of the consolidation of managed funds.
The majority of the company’s CIP balances are CLO-related. The collateral assets of the CLOs are held solely to satisfy the obligations of the CLOs. The company has no right to the benefits from, nor does it bear the risks associated with, the collateral assets held by the CLOs, beyond the company’s direct investments in, and management and performance fees generated from, the CLOs. If the company were to liquidate, the collateral assets would not be available to the general creditors of the company, and as a result, the company does not consider them to be company assets. Likewise, the investors in the CLOs have no recourse to the general credit of the company for the notes issued by the CLOs. The company therefore does not consider this debt to be a company liability.

The impact of CIP is so significant to the presentation of the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that the company has elected to deconsolidate these products in its non-GAAP disclosures. The following discussion therefore combines the results presented under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) with the company’s non-GAAP presentation. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains four distinct sections, which follow the AUM discussion:
Results of Operations (three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2018);
Schedule of Non-GAAP Information;
Balance Sheet Discussion; and
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Wherever a non-GAAP measure is referenced, a disclosure will follow in the narrative or in the note referring the reader to the Schedule of Non-GAAP Information, where additional details regarding the use of the non-GAAP measure by the company are disclosed, along with reconciliations of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures. To further enhance the readability of the Results of Operations section, separate tables for each of the revenue, expense, and other income and expenses (non-operating income/expense) sections of the income statement introduce the narrative that follows, providing a section-by-section review of the company’s income statements for the periods presented.

Net revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure. Net revenues are operating revenues plus the net revenues of Invesco Great Wall, less third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses, plus management and performance fees earned from CIP. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information,” for the reconciliation of operating revenues to net revenues.
(2)
Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted operating margin is adjusted operating income divided by net revenues. Adjusted operating income includes operating income plus the net operating income of Invesco Great Wall, the operating income impact of the consolidation of investment products, transaction, integration, and restructuring expenses, compensation expense related to market valuation changes in deferred compensation plans, and other reconciling items. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information,” for the reconciliation of operating income to adjusted operating income.
(3)
Adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. and adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. is net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. adjusted to exclude the net income of CIP, transaction, integration, and restructuring expenses, the net income impact of deferred compensation plans, and other reconciling items. Adjustments made to net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. are tax-affected in arriving at adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. By calculation, adjusted diluted EPS is adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (for diluted EPS). See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information,” for the reconciliation of net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. to adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd.

Excludes passive products, closed-end funds, private equity limited partnerships, non-discretionary funds, unit investment trusts, fund of funds with component funds managed by Invesco, stable value building block funds and CDOs. Certain funds and products were excluded from the analysis because of limited benchmark or peer group data. Had these been available, results may have been different. These results are preliminary and subject to revision. AUM measured in the one, three, five and ten year quartile rankings represents 59%, 59%, 58% and 52% of total Invesco AUM, respectively, and AUM measured versus benchmark on a one, three, five and ten year basis represents 70%, 68%, 66% and 58% of total Invesco AUM as of 9/30/19. Peer group rankings are sourced from a widely-used third party ranking agency in each fund’s market (Lipper, Morningstar, IA, Russell, Mercer, eVestment Alliance, SITCA, Value Research) and asset-weighted in USD. Rankings are as of prior quarter-end for most institutional products and prior month-end for Australian retail funds due to their late release by third parties. Rankings are calculated against all funds in each peer group. Rankings for the primary share class of the most representative fund in each composite are applied to all products within each composite. Performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends. Past performance is not indicative of future results and may not reflect an investor’s experience.

Foreign Exchange Impact on Balance Sheet, Assets Under Management and Results of Operations
A significant portion of our business is based outside of the U.S. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. Dollar against other currencies, primarily the Pound Sterling, Euro and Japanese Yen will impact our assets, liabilities, AUM and reported revenues and expenses from period to period. The assets, liabilities and AUM of foreign subsidiaries are translated at period end spot foreign currency exchange rates. The income statements of foreign currency subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars, the reporting currency of the company, using average foreign exchange rates.
The table below illustrates the spot foreign exchange rates used for translation of non-U.S. Dollar denominated assets, liabilities and AUM into U.S. Dollars:

A comparison of period end spot rates between September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 shows a weakening of the Pound Sterling and the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar, while the Japanese Yen strengthened, which is reflected in the translation of our Pound Sterling-based, Euro-based, and Japanese Yen-based assets, liabilities and AUM into U.S. Dollars, respectively.
A comparison of the average foreign exchange rates used for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 shows a weakening of the Pound Sterling and the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar, while the Japanese Yen strengthened, which is reflected in the translation of our Pound Sterling-based, Euro-based, and Japanese Yen-based revenue and expenses into U.S. Dollars.

Assets Under Management movements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018
The following presentation and discussion of AUM includes Passive and Active AUM. Passive AUM include index-based ETFs, unit investment trusts (UITs), non-management fee earning AUM, foreign exchange overlays and other passive mandates. Active AUM is total AUM less Passive AUM.
Non-management fee earning AUM includes non-management fee earning ETFs, UIT and product leverage. The net flows in non-management fee earning AUM can be relatively short-term in nature and, due to the relatively low revenue yield, these can have a significant impact on overall net revenue yield.
The AUM tables and the discussion below refer to AUM as long-term. In the second quarter of 2019, the company changed the presentation of its AUM. The new presentation reflects the combination of the U.S and Canada to form Americas and Continental Europe to now be EMEA ex UK. Additionally, the company reclassified certain AUM between asset classes. In the AUM tables below, all periods have been reclassified to conform to the new presentation.
Long-term inflows and the underlying reasons for the movements in this line item include investments from new clients, existing clients adding new accounts/funds or contributions/subscriptions into existing accounts/funds, and new funding commitments into private equity funds. Long-term outflows reflect client redemptions from accounts/funds and include the return of invested capital on the maturity or liquidation of private equity funds. We present net flows into institutional money market funds separately because shareholders of those funds typically use them as short-term funding vehicles and because their flows are particularly sensitive to short-term interest rate movements.

(1)
The acquisition of OppenheimerFunds added $224.4 billion in AUM during the second quarter of 2019. The acquisition of Guggenheim Investments' ETF business on April 6, 2018 added $38.1 billion in AUM during the second quarter 2018. As of July 1, 2018, we began including 100% of Invesco Great Wall Fund Management Company, which added $9.5 billion in AUM during the third quarter 2018.
(2)
Gross revenue yield on AUM is equal to annualized total operating revenues divided by average AUM, excluding Invesco Great Wall AUM. Prior to the third quarter 2018, management reflected its interests in Invesco Great Wall on a proportional consolidation basis, which was consistent with the presentation of our share of the AUM from these investments. Given the company's influence on Invesco Great Wall, a change in regulation allowing increased foreign ownership, and reaching agreement in principle to obtain majority stake of the joint venture, the company began reporting 100% of the flows and AUM for Invesco Great Wall beginning in the third quarter 2018. For quarterly AUM, the average AUM for Invesco Great Wall included in the yield calculation in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $37.4 billion and $34.7 billion, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018: $22.4 billion and $13.7 billion). It is appropriate to exclude the average AUM of Invesco Great Wall for purposes of computing gross revenue yield on AUM, because the revenues resulting from these AUM are not presented in our operating revenues. Under U.S. GAAP, our share of the net income of Invesco Great Wall is recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Gross revenue yield, the most comparable U.S. GAAP-based measure to net revenue yield, is not considered a meaningful effective fee rate measure. Additionally, the numerator of the gross revenue yield measure, operating revenues, excludes the management fees earned from CIP; however, the denominator of the measure includes the AUM of these investment products. Therefore, the gross revenue yield measure is not considered representative of the company’s effective fee rate from AUM.
(3)
Net revenue yield on AUM is equal to annualized net revenues divided by average AUM. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for a reconciliation of operating revenues to net revenues.
Flows
There are numerous drivers of AUM inflows and outflows, including individual investor decisions to change investment preferences, fiduciaries and other gatekeepers making broad asset allocation decisions on behalf of their clients and reallocation of investments within portfolios. We are not a party to these asset allocation decisions, as the company does not generally have access to the underlying investor’s decision-making process, including their risk appetite or liquidity needs. Therefore, the company is not in a position to provide meaningful information regarding the drivers of inflows and outflows.

Average AUM during the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $1,188.2 billion, compared to $985.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Average AUM during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $1,059.0 billion, compared to $970.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Market Returns and Reinvested Distributions
Market gains and losses include the net change in AUM resulting from changes in market values of the underlying securities from period to period. As discussed in the “Executive Overview” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, equity markets saw gains globally in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, with the three months ended September 30, 2019 seeing volatile global equity markets.
Foreign Exchange Rates
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we experienced decreases in AUM of $8.2 billion due to changes in foreign exchange rates. In the three months ended September 30, 2018, AUM decreased by $3.0 billion due to foreign exchange rate changes. See the company’s disclosures regarding the changes in foreign exchange rates during three months ended September 30, 2019 in the “Foreign Exchange Impact on Balance Sheet, Assets Under Management and Results of Operations” section above for additional information regarding the movement of foreign exchange rates.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we experienced decreases in AUM of $7.1 billion due to changes in foreign exchange rates. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, AUM decreased by $8.9 billion due to foreign exchange rate changes. See the company’s disclosures regarding the changes in foreign exchange rates during nine months ended September 30, 2019 in the “Foreign Exchange Impact on Balance Sheet, Assets Under Management and Results of Operations” section above for additional information regarding the movement of foreign exchange rates.
Revenue Yield
As a significant proportion of our AUM is based outside of the U.S., changes in foreign exchange rates result in a change to the mix of U.S. Dollar denominated AUM with AUM denominated in other currencies. As fee rates differ across geographic locations, changes to exchange rates have an impact on the net revenue yields. See the company’s disclosures regarding the changes in foreign exchange rates in the “Foreign Exchange Impact on Balance Sheet, Assets Under Management and Results of Operations” section above for additional information regarding the movement of foreign exchange rates.
Additionally, changes in our AUM mix significantly impact our net revenue yield. Passive AUM generally earn a lower effective fee rate than active asset classes. As a result of the acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, AUM increased $224.4 billion during the second quarter, which was comprised of $219.9 billion of active and $4.5 billion of passive AUM.
At September 30, 2019, passive AUM were $277.4 billion, representing 23.4% of total AUM at that date; whereas at September 30, 2018, passive AUM were $254.8 billion, representing 26.0% of our total AUM at that date.

Net revenues are operating revenues less third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses, plus net revenues from Invesco Great Wall, plus management and performance fees earned from CIP. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for additional important disclosures regarding the use of net revenues.
The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased operating revenues by $15.8 million, equivalent to 0.9% of total operating revenues, during the three months ended September 30, 2019 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased operating revenues by $62.9 million, equivalent to 1.4% of total operating revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Additionally, our revenues are directly influenced by the level and composition of our AUM. Therefore, movements in global capital market levels, net new business inflows (or outflows), changes in the mix of investment products between asset classes and geographies and acquisitions may materially affect our revenues from period to period. As discussed in the “Executive Overview” section above, equity markets showed strong gains globally in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, with the three months ended September 30, 2019 reflecting more volatile equity markets.
Investment Management Fees
Investment management fees increased by $218.2 million (21.0%) in the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $1,257.1 million (three months ended September 30, 2018: $1,038.9 million). This compares to a 20.6% increase in average AUM. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased investment management fees by $14.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. After allowing for foreign exchange movements, investment management fees increased by $233.1 million (22.4%). The increase is primarily a result of revenues earned from the acquired OppenheimerFunds business (acquired May 24, 2019).

fees, $15.3 million in fund expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $48.1 million in renewal commissions and $7.3 million in unitary fees. The increase is primarily a result of costs from the acquired OppenheimerFunds business (acquired May 24, 2019).
Revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from Invesco Great Wall
The company’s most significant joint venture arrangement is our 49% investment in Invesco Great Wall Fund Management Company Limited (the “Invesco Great Wall” joint venture). Management believes that the revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from Invesco Great Wall should be added to operating revenues to arrive at net revenues, as it is important to evaluate the contribution to the business that Invesco Great Wall is making. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for additional disclosures regarding the use of net revenues.
Prior to the third quarter 2018, management reflected its interests in Invesco Great Wall on a proportional consolidation basis, which was consistent with the presentation of our share of the AUM from Invesco Great Wall. Given the company’s influence on the Invesco Great Wall joint venture, a change in regulation allowing increased foreign ownership, and reaching agreement in principle to obtain a majority stake of the joint venture, the company began reporting 100% of the flows and AUM for Invesco Great Wall beginning in the third quarter 2018. The company’s non-GAAP operating results now reflect the economics of these holdings on a basis consistent with the underlying AUM and flows. Adjusted net income is reduced by the amount of earnings attributable to non-controlling interests.
Revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from Invesco Great Wall were $44.7 million and average AUM was $37.4 billion, reflecting 100% of the flows and AUM for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The 2018 period included $28.4 million of revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from Invesco Great Wall and average AUM of $22.4 billion, reflecting 100% of the flows and AUM. The AUM increases are a result of significant growth in the China Money Market funds and therefore resulted in higher revenues.
Revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from Invesco Great Wall were $113.2 million and average AUM was $34.7 billion, reflecting 100% of the flows and AUM for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from Invesco Great Wall were $57.8 million and average AUM was $13.7 billion for nine months ended September 30, 2018, reflecting 100% of the flows and AUM for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 49% of the flows and AUM for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The AUM increases are a result of significant growth in the China Money Market funds and therefore resulted in higher revenues.
Management, performance and other fees earned from CIP
Management believes that the consolidation of investment products may impact a reader’s analysis of our underlying results of operations and could result in investor confusion or the production of information about the company by analysts or external credit rating agencies that is not reflective of the underlying results of operations and financial condition of the company. Accordingly, management believes that it is appropriate to adjust operating revenues for the impact of CIP in calculating net revenues. As management and performance fees earned by Invesco from the consolidated products are eliminated upon consolidation of the investment products, management believes that it is appropriate to add these operating revenues back in the calculation of net revenues. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for additional disclosures regarding the use of net revenues.
The elimination of management fees earned from CIP was $8.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 (three months ended September 30, 2018: $4.7 million). The increase is due to the increase in management fees earned from CLOs.
The elimination of management fees earned from CIP was $24.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $18.8 million). The increase is due to the increase in management fees earned from CLOs.

Included in the gain were $10.3 million of net gains related to the mark-to-market on seed money investments, $7.0 million related to net foreign exchange gains on intercompany loans, $2.3 million related to foreign put option contracts, and $1.4 million of gains related to our defined benefit pension plans. These gains were partially offset by net losses during the period of $4.3 million on investments and instruments held for our deferred compensation plans and $3.3 million of net realized investment losses.
Other gains and losses, net was a gain of $69.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $1.9 million gain). Included in the gain were $39.1 million of net gains related to the mark-to-market on seed money investments, $23.3 million of gains on the appreciation of investments and instruments held for our deferred compensation plans, $11.2 million of net foreign exchange gains on intercompany loans and $4.3 million of gains related to our defined benefit pension plans. These gains were partially offset by net losses during the period of $2.1 million of net realized investment losses and $1.1 million related to foreign put option contracts.
Other income/(expense) of CIP
Other income/(expense) of CIP includes interest and dividend income, interest expense, and other gains/(losses) of CIP.
In the three months ended September 30, 2019, interest and dividend income of CIP increased by $19.4 million (27.3%) to $90.4 million (three months ended September 30, 2018: $71.0 million). Interest expense of CIP increased by $6.3 million (12.2%) to $58.0 million (three months ended September 30, 2018: $51.7 million).
In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, interest and dividend income of CIP increased by $65.8 million (33.6%) to $261.8 million (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $196.0 million). Interest expense of CIP increased by $33.3 million (24.2%) to $170.8 million (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $137.5 million).
The increase in interest income and interest expense of CIP in 2019 is primarily due to the impact of newly consolidated CLOs and other funds during 2019, partially offset by the impact of funds deconsolidated during the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Included in other gains/(losses) of CIP, net, are realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying investments and debt of CIP. In the three months ended September 30, 2019, other gains and losses of CIP were net gains of $4.6 million as compared to net gains of $8.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. The net gains during the three months ended September 30, 2019 were attributable to market-driven gains of investments held by consolidated funds.
Included in other gains/(losses) of CIP, net, are realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying investments and debt of CIP. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, other gains and losses of CIP were net gains of $36.0 million as compared to net losses of $2.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The net gains during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were attributable to market-driven gains of investments held by consolidated funds.
Net impact of CIP and related noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities
The net impact to net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. in each period primarily represents the changes in the value of the company’s holding in its consolidated CLOs, which is reclassified into other gains/(losses) from accumulated other comprehensive income upon consolidation. The consolidation of investment products during the three months ended September 30, 2019 resulted in a net decrease in net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. of $1.9 million (three months ended September 30, 2018: $11.3 million increase). The consolidation of investment products during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 resulted in a net decrease in net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. of $1.3 million (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $9.7 million increase). CIP are taxed at the investor level and not at the product level; therefore, there is no tax provision reflected in the net impact of CIP.
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represent the profit or loss amounts attributed to third-party investors in CIP. The impact of any gains or losses resulting from valuation changes in the investments of non-CLO CIP attributable to the interests of third-parties are offset by resulting changes in gains and losses attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities and therefore do not have a material effect on the financial condition, operating results (including earnings per common share), liquidity or capital resources of the company’s common shareholders. Similarly, any gains or losses resulting from valuation changes in the investments of CLOs attributable to the interests of third-parties are offset by the calculated value of the notes issued by the CLOs (offsetting in other gains/(losses) of CIP) and therefore also do not have a material effect on the financial condition, operating results (including earnings per common share), liquidity or capital resources of the company’s common shareholders.

Additionally, CIP represent less than 1% of the company’s AUM. Therefore, the net gains or losses of CIP are not indicative of the performance of the company’s aggregate AUM.
Income Tax Expense
The company’s subsidiaries operate in several taxing jurisdictions around the world, each with its own statutory income tax rate. As a result, the blended average statutory tax rate will vary from year to year depending on the mix of the profits and losses of the company’s subsidiaries.
Our effective tax rate increased to 23.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 (three months ended September 30, 2018: 17.8%). The three months ended September 30, 2019 includes a net 1.2% rate increase resulting from business acquisitions including the impact from non-tax deductible transaction, integration, and restructuring costs. The inclusion of income from non-controlling interests in consolidated entities decreased our effective tax rate by 0.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 (three months ended September 30, 2018: 0.7%). The remainder of the rate movement was primarily due to changes in the mix of pre-tax income.
Our effective tax rate increased to 23.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (nine months ended September 30, 2018: 20.4%). The nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes a 1.5% rate increase related to vestings of our annual common share-based compensation awards, a net 1.9% rate increase from business acquisitions including the impact from non-tax deductible transaction, integration, and restructuring costs partially offset by a 0.6% rate decrease related to the favorable resolution of a state tax audit. The inclusion of income from non-controlling interests in consolidated entities decreased our effective tax rate by 1.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (nine months ended September 30, 2018: 0.4%). The remainder of the rate movement was primarily due to changes in the mix of pre-tax income.
Schedule of Non-GAAP Information
We utilize the following non-GAAP performance measures: net revenue (and by calculation, net revenue yield on AUM), adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. and adjusted diluted earnings per common share (EPS). The company believes the adjusted measures provide valuable insight into the company’s ongoing operational performance and assist in comparisons to its competitors. These measures also assist the company’s management with the establishment of operational budgets and forecasts and assist the Board of Directors and management of the company in determining incentive compensation decisions. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are operating revenues (and by calculation, gross revenue yield on AUM), operating income, operating margin, net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. and diluted EPS. Each of these measures is discussed more fully below.
The following are reconciliations of operating revenues, operating income (and by calculation, operating margin), and net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. (and by calculation, diluted EPS) on a U.S. GAAP basis to a non-GAAP basis of net revenues, adjusted operating income (and by calculation, adjusted operating margin) and adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. (and by calculation, adjusted diluted EPS). These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for any U.S. GAAP measures and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additional reconciling items may be added in the future to these non-GAAP measures if deemed appropriate. The tax effects related to the reconciling items have been calculated based on the tax rate attributable to the jurisdiction to which the transaction relates. Notes to the reconciliations follow the tables.

Invesco Great Wall
Prior to the third quarter 2018, management reflected its interests in Invesco Great Wall Fund Management Company (“Invesco Great Wall”) on a proportional consolidation basis, which was consistent with the presentation of our share of the AUM from these investments. Given the company’s influence on Invesco Great Wall, a change in regulation allowing increased foreign ownership and reaching agreement in principle in the third quarter to obtain a majority stake of the joint venture, the company began reporting 100% of the flows and AUM for Invesco Great Wall beginning in the third quarter. The company’s non-GAAP operating results now reflect the economics of these holdings on a basis consistent with the underlying AUM and flows. Adjusted net income is reduced by the amount of earnings attributable to non-controlling interests.

(2)
Third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses
Third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses include renewal commissions and distribution costs (12b-1 and marketing support) paid to brokers and independent financial advisors, and other service and administrative fees paid to third parties. While the terms used for these types of expenses vary by geography, they are all expense items that are closely linked to the value of AUM and the revenue earned by Invesco from AUM. Since the company has been deemed to be the principal in the third-party arrangements, the company must reflect these expenses gross of operating revenues under U.S. GAAP.
Management believes that the deduction of third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses from operating revenues appropriately reflects the nature of these expenses as being passed through to external parties who perform functions on behalf of, and distribute, the company’s managed funds. Further, these expenses vary extensively by geography due to the differences in distribution channels. The net presentation assists in identifying the revenue contribution generated by the business, removing distortions caused by the differing distribution channel fees and allowing for a fair comparison with U.S. peer investment managers and within Invesco’s own investment units. Additionally, management evaluates net revenue yield on AUM, which is equal to net revenues divided by average AUM during the reporting period. This financial measure is an indicator of the basis point net revenues we receive for each dollar of AUM we manage and is useful when evaluating the company’s performance relative to industry competitors and within the company for capital allocation purposes.
(3)
CIP
See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 14 - “Consolidated Investment Products” for a detailed analysis of the impact to the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the consolidation of CIP. The reconciling items add back the management and performance fees earned by Invesco from the consolidated products and remove the revenues and expenses recorded by the consolidated products that have been included in the U.S. GAAP Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Management believes that the consolidation of investment products may impact a reader’s analysis of our underlying results of operations and could result in investor confusion or the production of information about the company by analysts or external credit rating agencies that is not reflective of the underlying results of operations and financial condition of the company. Accordingly, management believes that it is appropriate to adjust operating revenues, operating income and net income for the impact of CIP in calculating the respective net revenues, adjusted operating income and adjusted net income.
(4)
Transaction, integration, and restructuring related adjustments
Management believes it is useful to investors and other users of our Consolidated Financial Statements to adjust for the transaction, integration, and restructuring charges in arriving at adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted EPS, as this will aid comparability of our results period to period, and aid comparability with peer companies that may not have similar acquisition and disposition related income or charges. See “Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 -- Transaction, Integration, and Restructuring” for additional details.
(5)
Market movement on deferred compensation plan liabilities
Certain deferred compensation plan awards involve a return to the employee linked to the appreciation (depreciation) of specified investments, typically the funds managed by the employee. Invesco hedges economically the exposure to market movements.
Since these plans are hedged economically, management believes it is useful to reflect the offset ultimately achieved from hedging the investment market exposure in the calculation of adjusted operating income (and by calculation, adjusted operating margin) and adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. (and by calculation, adjusted diluted EPS), to produce results that will be more comparable period to period.

(a)
Included within other gains and losses, net is the mark-to-market of foreign exchange put option contracts intended to provide protection against the impact of a significant decline in the Pound Sterling/U.S. Dollar foreign exchange rates. The Pound Sterling contracts provide coverage through June 30, 2020. The adjustment from U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP earnings removes the impact of market volatility; therefore, the company’s non-GAAP results include only the amortization of the cost of the contracts during the contract period.
(b)
As a result of an increase in our recoverable VAT from applying additional regulatory guidance, a credit was recorded in the third quarter 2018. The portion of the cumulative adjustment representing 2014 through 2017 has been removed for non-GAAP purposes.

Investments
As of September 30, 2019, we had $847.0 million in total investments (December 31, 2018: $613.5 million). Included in investments are $253.5 million of seed money investments in affiliated funds used to seed funds as we launch new products, and $209.7 million of investments related to assets held for deferred compensation plans, which are also held primarily in affiliated funds. Seed investments increased by a net $50.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in the period reflects purchases of $71.6 million, a non-cash increase of $10.7 million due to the OppenheimerFunds acquisition, a non-cash increase of $40.3 million due to the deconsolidation of certain CIP in the period (restoring the company’s formerly eliminated investment balances), and $29.5 million driven by market valuation changes and foreign exchange movements. These increases in the period were partially offset by redemptions of $101.5 million. Investments related to deferred compensation awards increased by a net $131.1 million during the period due to the OppenheimerFunds acquisition of $165.9 million, net purchases of $2.4 million and $12.3 million driven by market valuation changes and foreign exchange movements. These increases were partially offset by dispositions of $49.5 million.
Included in investments are $338.2 million in equity method investments in Invesco Great Wall and in certain of the company’s private equity partnerships, real estate partnerships and other co-investments (December 31, 2018: $296.3 million). The increase of $41.9 million in equity method investments was driven by an increase from partnership contributions of $72.7 million and $47.6 million in current period earnings. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $66.7 million due to distributions from partnership investments and $4.7 million in foreign exchange rates. Also included in investments are foreign time deposits of $26.5 million, a decrease of $1.6 million from the December 31, 2018 balance of $28.1 million.
Assets held for policyholders and policyholder payables
One of our subsidiaries, Invesco Pensions Limited, is an insurance company that was established to facilitate retirement savings plans in the UK. The entity holds assets that are managed for its clients on its balance sheet with an equal and offsetting liability. The decrease in the balance of these accounts from $11,384.8 million at December 31, 2018 to $10,442.4 million at September 30, 2019 was the result of decreases in market movements of $634.9 million and $379.9 million in foreign exchange rate movements offset by net business inflows of $72.4 million.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets increased from $2,176.1 million at December 31, 2018, to $7,339.5 million at September 30, 2019. The increase includes an additional $5,189.0 million primarily related to the preliminary purchase price allocation to intangible assets from the OppenheimerFunds acquisition. This increase is offset by amortization of $32.9 million and decreases in foreign exchange movements of $8.7 million.
Goodwill
Goodwill increased from $7,157.1 million at December 31, 2018, to $8,330.5 million at September 30, 2019. The increase includes $1,199.5 million primarily related to the preliminary purchase price allocation to goodwill from the OppenheimerFunds and foreign exchange movements of $26.1 million. The company’s annual goodwill impairment review is performed as of October 1 of each year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our capital structure, together with available cash balances, cash flows generated from operations, existing capacity under our credit facility and further capital market activities, if necessary, should provide us with sufficient resources to meet present and future cash needs, including operating, debt and other obligations as they come due and anticipated future capital requirements.
Our capital management priorities have evolved with the growth and success of our business and include:
reinvestment in the business;
moderate annual growth of common dividends (as further discussed in the “Dividends” section below);
common share repurchases; and
target an approximate $1 billion cash buffer in excess of European regulatory and liquidity requirements.
These priorities are executed in a manner consistent with our desire to maintain strong, investment grade credit ratings. As of the filing of the Report, Invesco held credit ratings of BBB+/Stable, A2/Stable and A-/Positive from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“S&P”), Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), respectively. Our ability to continue to access the capital markets in a timely manner depends on several factors, including our credit ratings, the condition of the

global economy, investors’ willingness to purchase our securities, interest rates, credit spreads and the valuation levels of equity markets. If we are unable to access capital markets in a timely manner, our business could be adversely impacted.
Common share repurchases
During the third quarter, 0.8 million common shares were withheld on vesting events in the amount of $14.8 million relating to purchases of shares from employees to satisfy tax withholding requirements at the time of share vesting. Additionally, the company entered into two forward contracts under the company’s board-approved open market share repurchase program. In July 2019, the counterparty purchased $200 million (10.0 million shares) of the company’s common shares. In September 2019, the counterparty purchased $100 million (6.0 million shares) of the company’s common shares. The common shares are included as treasury shares in the company’s balance sheet and reduced outstanding common shares as of July 30, 2019 and September 27, 2019, respectively. Both contracts will be settled on April 1, 2021.
The forward contract completed in the fourth quarter of 2018 for $300 million of common shares settled on July 1, 2019.
Other items
Certain of our subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum levels of capital. Such requirements may change from time-to-time as additional guidance is released based on a variety of factors, including balance sheet composition, assessment of risk exposures and governance, and review from regulators. These and other similar provisions of applicable laws and regulations may have the effect of limiting withdrawals of capital, repayment of intercompany loans and payment of dividends by such entities. All of our regulated EU subsidiaries (the European sub-group) are subject to consolidated capital requirements under EU Directives, including those arising from the EU’s Capital Requirements Directive and the UK’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), and capital is maintained within this sub-group to satisfy these regulations. We meet these requirements in part by holding cash and cash equivalents. This retained cash can be used for general business purposes in the European sub-group in the countries where it is located. Due to the capital restrictions, the ability to transfer cash between certain jurisdictions may be limited. In addition, transfers of cash between international jurisdictions may have adverse tax consequences. We are in compliance with all regulatory minimum net capital requirements. As of September 30, 2019, the company’s minimum regulatory capital requirement was $705.6 million (December 31, 2018: $720.2 million). The total amount of non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents was $845.1 million at September 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $996.7 million).
The consolidation of $7.7 billion and $5.5 billion of assets and long-term debt of CIP as of September 30, 2019, respectively, did not impact the company’s liquidity and capital resources. The company’s risk with respect to each investment in CIP is limited to its equity ownership and any uncollected management and performance fees. The majority of CIP balances related to consolidated CLOs. The collateral assets of the CLOs are held solely to satisfy the obligations of the CLOs. The company has no right to the benefits from, nor does it bear the risks associated with, the collateral assets held by the CLOs, beyond the company’s minimal direct investments in, and management and performance fees generated from, these products, which are eliminated upon consolidation. If the company were to liquidate, the collateral assets would not be available to the general creditors of the company, and as a result, the company does not consider them to be company assets. Likewise, if the CLOs were to liquidate, their investors would have no recourse to the general credit of the company. The company therefore does not consider this debt to be an obligation of the company. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 14, “Consolidated Investment Products,” for additional details.
Cash Flows Discussion
The ability to consistently generate cash flow from operations in excess of dividend payments, common share repurchases, capital expenditures, and ongoing operating expenses is one of our company’s fundamental financial strengths. Operations continue to be financed from current earnings and borrowings. Our principal uses of cash, other than for operating expenses, include dividend payments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, purchase of our common shares in the open market, and investments in certain new investment products.

These tables include non-GAAP presentations.  Cash held by CIP is not available for use by Invesco.  Additionally, there is no recourse to Invesco for CIP debt.  The cash flows of CIP do not form part of the company’s cash flow management processes, nor do they form part of the company’s significant liquidity evaluations and decisions. Policyholder assets and liabilities are equal and offsetting and have no impact on Invesco’s shareholder’s equity.  The impact of cash inflows/outflows from policyholder assets and liabilities are reflected within cash flows from operating activities as changes in receivables and/or payables, as applicable.
As discussed in Note 2, “Business Combinations,” the OppenheimerFunds acquisition purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the transaction. The issuance of common stock and preferred stock consideration represents a non-cash financing activity related to the statement of cash flows.
Operating Activities
Operating cash flows include the receipt of investment management and other fees generated from AUM, offset by operating expenses and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Although some receipts and payments are seasonal, particularly bonus payments which are paid out during the first quarter, in general, after allowing for the change in cash held by CIP, and investment activities, our operating cash flows move in the same direction as our operating income.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash provided by operating activities was $653.0 million compared to $662.1 million provided during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As shown in the tables above, the impact of CIP to cash provided by operating activities was $116.3 million of cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $225.3 million of cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Excluding the impact of CIP, cash provided by operations was $769.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $887.4 million of cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was due to lower net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 driven by transaction and integration expenses of $536.5 million for the period compared to $75.1 million in the prior period due to the acquisition in the second quarter of 2019. Partially offsetting the decrease in net income’s impact on operating cash flows were net inflows from the changes in payables and receivables due to the timing of payments and receipts, primarily related to the acquisition, compared to net outflows in the prior period as well as cash inflows from net investment redemptions in the current period compared to net investment purchases in the prior period.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $769.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (nine months ended September 30, 2018: net cash used of $2,682.9 million). As shown in the tables above, the impact of CIP on investing activities, including investment purchases, sales and returns of capital, was $934.3 million used (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $1,140.1 million used). Excluding the impact of CIP cash flows, net cash provided by investing activities was $165.0 million (nine months ended September 30, 2018: net cash used of $1,542.8 million).
Cash inflows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the impact of CIP, included net cash acquired of $328.7 million primarily related to the OppenheimerFunds acquisition, proceeds of $175.5 million from sales and returns of capital of investments (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $148.1 million). These inflows were partially offset by purchases of investments of $263.6 million (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $153.3 million). Cash outflows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included $1,469.3 million related to previous acquisitions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company had capital expenditures of $75.6 million (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $68.3 million). Our capital expenditures in each period principally related to technology initiatives, including enhancements to platforms from which we maintain our portfolio management systems, improvements in computer hardware and software desktop products for employees, new telecommunications products to enhance our internal information flow, and back-up business recovery systems. Also, in each period, a portion of these costs related to improvements made to the various buildings and workspaces used in our offices.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $123.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (nine months ended September 30, 2018: net cash provided of $1,584.1 million). As shown in the tables above, the impact of CIP on financing activities provided cash of $893.6 million (nine months ended September 30, 2018: cash provided of $1,276.3 million). Excluding the impact of CIP, financing activities used net cash of $1,017.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (nine months ended September 30, 2018: net cash provided of $307.8 million).
Financing cash outflows during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included repayments of $113.9 million on the credit facility (nine months ended September 30, 2018: borrowing of $737.2 million), $372.0 million of common dividend payments for the dividends declared in January, April, and July (nine months ended September 30, 2018: common dividends paid of $368.3 million), $64.4 million of preferred dividend payments for dividends declared in July (nine months ended September 30, 2018: none), $300 million settlement of the forward contract completed in the fourth quarter of 2018 for the purchase of common shares (nine months ended September 30, 2018: none), the purchase of common shares through market transactions totaling $100.0 million (nine months ended September 30, 2018: none), the payment of $55.4 million to meet employees’ withholding tax obligations on common share vestings (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $49.7 million) and a payment of $11.8 million of contingent consideration (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $11.4 million).
Dividends
When declared, Invesco pays dividends on a quarterly basis in arrears. Holders of our preferred shares are eligible to receive dividends at an annual rate of 5.9% of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, or $59 per share per annum. The preferred stock dividend is payable quarterly on a non-cumulative basis when, if and as declared by our board of directors. However, if we have not declared and paid or set aside for payment full quarterly dividends on the preferred stock for a particular dividend period, we may not declare or pay dividends on, or redeem, purchase or acquire, our common stock or other junior securities in the next succeeding dividend period.
On October 23, 2019, the company announced a third quarter 2019 cash dividend of $0.31 per share to holders of common shares, payable on December 2, 2019, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 12, 2019 with an ex-dividend date of November 8, 2019.
On October 23, 2019 the company announced a preferred dividend of $14.75 per share to the holders of preferred shares, representing the period from September 1, 2019 through November 30, 2019. The preferred dividend is payable on December 2, 2019 to shareholders of record at close of business on November 15, 2019. As the preferred dividend has been declared in the fourth quarter, $59.2 million will be reflected in the company’s fourth quarter income statement.
The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be declared by our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, financial condition and capital requirements at the time such declaration and payment are considered. The board has a policy of managing dividends in a prudent fashion, with due consideration given to profit levels, overall debt levels, and historical dividend payouts.

Common Share Repurchase Plan
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the company did not make any repurchases of common shares in the market (three months ended September 30, 2018: none). During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company repurchased 5.0 million common shares in the market at a cost $100.0 million (nine months ended September 30, 2018: none). Separately, an aggregate of 0.8 million and 3.1 million common shares were withheld on vesting events during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 to meet employees’ withholding tax obligations (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018: 0.1 million and 1.5 million shares). The fair value of these common shares withheld at the respective withholding dates was $14.8 million and $60.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2018: $2.9 million and $49.7 million).
Also, on May 13, 2019, July 2, 2019 and August 27, 2019, the company entered into forward contracts to purchase its common shares. Under these contracts, the counterparty purchased $200 million, $200 million and 100 million (9.8 million, 10.0 million and 6.0 million shares) of the company’s common shares. The common shares are included as treasury shares and reduced common outstanding shares as of September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, approximately $743.0 million remains available under the share repurchase authorizations approved by the Board on July 22, 2016.
Long-term debt
Our long-term debt at September 30, 2019 was $2,296.6 million (December 31, 2018: $2,408.8 million) and was comprised of the following:

Adjustments for unrealized gains and losses from investments, as defined in our credit facility, may also include non-cash gains and losses on investments to the extent that they do not represent anticipated future cash receipts or expenditures.
**
EBITDA and Adjusted debt are non-GAAP financial measures; however, management does not use these measures for anything other than these debt covenant calculations. The calculation of EBITDA above (a reconciliation from net income attributable to Invesco Ltd.) is defined by our credit agreement, and therefore net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. is the most appropriate GAAP measure from which to reconcile to EBITDA. The calculation of Adjusted debt is defined in our credit facility and equals total debt of $2,296.6 million plus $11.0 million in letters of credit.
Credit and Liquidity Risk
Capital management involves the management of the company’s liquidity and cash flows. The company manages its capital by reviewing annual and projected cash flow forecasts and by monitoring credit, liquidity and market risks, such as interest rate and foreign currency risks (as discussed in Part I, Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk), through measurement and analysis. The company is primarily exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalent deposits, which are held by external firms. The company invests its cash balances in its own institutional money market products, as well as with external high credit-quality financial institutions. These arrangements create exposure to concentrations of credit risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to meet an obligation. All cash and cash equivalent balances are subject to credit risk, as they represent deposits made by the company with external banks and other institutions. As of September 30, 2019, our maximum exposure to credit risk related to our cash and cash equivalent balances is $1,048.6 million. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 15, “Related Parties,” for information regarding cash and cash equivalents invested in affiliated money market funds.
The company does not utilize credit derivatives or similar instruments to mitigate the maximum exposure to credit risk. The company does not expect any counterparties to its financial instruments to fail to meet their obligations.

65

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities as the same become due. The company is exposed to liquidity risk through its $2,296.6 million in total debt. The company actively manages liquidity risk by preparing cash flow forecasts for future periods, reviewing them regularly with senior management, maintaining a committed credit facility, scheduling significant gaps between major debt maturities, and engaging external financing sources in regular dialogue.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation can impact our organization primarily in two ways. First, inflationary pressures can result in increases in our cost structure, especially to the extent that large expense components such as compensation are impacted. To the degree that these expense increases are not recoverable or cannot be counterbalanced through pricing increases due to the competitive environment, our profitability could be negatively impacted. Secondly, the value of the assets that we manage may be negatively impacted when inflationary expectations result in a rising interest rate environment. Declines in the values of these AUM could lead to reduced revenues as management fees are generally calculated based upon the size of AUM.
Off Balance Sheet Commitments
See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies - Off Balance Sheet Commitments,” for more information regarding undrawn capital commitments.
Contractual Obligations
We have future obligations under various contracts relating to debt and interest payments, financing and operating leases, long-term defined benefit pension, and acquisition contracts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company entered into contractual obligations that require future cash payments. On May 13, 2019, the company entered into a forward contract to purchase $200 million of its common shares. Additionally on July 2, 2019, the company entered into a forward contract to purchase $200 million of its common shares, and on August 27, 2019, the company entered into a forward contract to purchase $100 million of its common shares. The forward contract completed in the fourth quarter of 2018 for $300 million of common shares settled on July 1, 2019. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 6, “Share Capital” for additional details. As of May 24, 2019, the company recorded a lease liability of approximately $144.0 million in connection with the OppenheimerFunds acquisition. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 1, “Accounting Policies - Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted” for additional details.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Critical accounting policies are those that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and would therefore be deemed the most critical to an understanding of our results of operations and financial condition.
Recent Accounting Standards

In the normal course of its business, the company is primarily exposed to market risk in the form of AUM market price risk, securities market risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk. There have not been any material changes to the company’s exposures to market risks during the period ended September 30, 2019 that would require an update to the disclosures provided in the most recent Form 10-K.
AUM Market Price Risk
The company’s investment management revenues are comprised of fees based on the value of AUM. Declines in the market prices of equity and fixed income securities, commodities and derivatives, or other similar financial instruments held in client portfolios could cause revenues to decline because of lower investment management fees by:
Causing the value of AUM to decrease.
Causing the returns realized on AUM to decrease (impacting performance fees).
Causing clients to withdraw funds in favor of investments in markets that they perceive to offer greater opportunity and that the company does not serve.
Causing clients to rebalance assets away from investments that the company manages into investments that the company does not manage.
Causing clients to reallocate assets away from products that earn higher revenues into products that earn lower revenues.
Underperformance of client accounts relative to competing products could exacerbate these factors.
Securities Market Risk
The company has investments in managed investment products that invest in a variety of asset classes. Investments are generally made to establish a track record for a new fund or investment vehicle or to hedge economically exposure to certain deferred compensation plans. The company’s exposure to market risk from financial instruments measured at fair value arises from its investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk relates to the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its external debt and cash and cash equivalent investments. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 5, “Long-Term Debt” for details of the company’s long-term debt arrangements. As of September 30, 2019, the interest rates on 90.6% of the company’s borrowings were fixed for a weighted average period of 8.2 years, and the company had a $216.9 million balance on its floating rate credit facility.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
The company has certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets and results of operations are exposed to foreign currency translation risk when translated into U.S. Dollars upon consolidation into Invesco Ltd. During the second quarter, the company entered into additional put option contracts to hedge its Pound-Sterling-based operating income through June 30, 2020. These new put option contracts are set at a strike level of $1.250 based on the average daily foreign exchange rates for the applicable time period.
The company is exposed to foreign exchange revaluation into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on monetary assets and liabilities that are held by subsidiaries in different functional currencies than the subsidiaries’ functional currencies. Net foreign exchange revaluation gains were $9.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (nine months ended September 30, 2018: $4.8 million gains), and are included in general and administrative expenses and other gains and losses, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We continue to monitor our exposure to foreign exchange revaluation and have put in place net investment hedge structures discussed in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 7, “Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss).”

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information the company is required to disclose in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have evaluated any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and have concluded that there was no change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Consistent with guidance issued by the Security and Exchange Commission that an assessment of internal controls over financial reporting of a recently acquired business may be omitted from Management’s 2019 evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, Management is excluding an assessment of such internal controls of OppenheimerFunds acquired on May 24, 2019 from our above statements. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 2. “Business Combinations” for acquisition-related information. We are currently integrating processes, employees, technologies and operations and as such Management will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as we complete the integration and make internal controls changes as necessary.
