Certain disclosures included in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (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. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were characterized by heightened uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic which led to a higher level of judgment used in estimates and assumptions made by management. The primary estimates and assumptions made relate to goodwill and intangible impairment, the impact of legal contingencies, certain investments which are carried at fair value, post-employment benefit plan obligations and taxes. Use of available information and application of judgment are inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates, and the differences may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of March 31, 2020, we performed interim impairment tests on goodwill and certain indefinite-lived management contract assets due to the decline in our assets under management resulting from COVID-19. The tests performed at that time indicated no impairment. The company determined that interim impairment tests were not necessary in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The company will perform its annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter as of October 1, 2020.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
Financial Instruments. On January 1, 2020 the company adopted Accounting Standard Update 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13) using the modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-13 amends guidance related to reporting credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available for sale securities and adds an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the modified retrospective approach, entities are required to report any effect from adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the adoption date. The company has determined that there is no material impact upon adoption of this amendment.
Goodwill. On January 1, 2020 the company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (ASU 2017-04), which revised the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The company has adopted ASU 2017-04 using a prospective approach. In the event a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds fair value, the amount of impairment will equal the excess carrying value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. To the extent carrying amount exceeds fair value in a future goodwill impairment test, the amendment will change the amount of impairment expense the company records.
9
Cloud Computing Arrangements. On January 1, 2020 the company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2018-15, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract” (ASU 2018-15), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The company has adopted ASU 2018-15 using a prospective approach to all implementation costs incurred after adoption. The company has determined that there is no material impact upon adoption of this standard.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
None.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Total Return Swaps
In addition to holding equity investments, the company has a total return swap (TRS) to economically hedge certain deferred compensation liabilities. The notional value of the total return swap at September 30, 2020 was $252.2 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, market valuation gains of $12.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively were recognized in other gains and losses, net.
Contingent Consideration Liability
Contingent consideration liabilities represent expected future obligations of the company, are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition using a discounted cash flow model and are categorized within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Changes in fair value of the company’s contingent consideration liabilities are recorded in other gains and losses, net in the period incurred. An increase in forecasted AUM levels or projected revenue and a decrease in the discount rate would increase the fair value of the company’s contingent consideration liabilities while a decrease in forecasted AUM or projected revenue and an increase in the discount rate would decrease the liabilities.
The contingent consideration liability related to the investment management contracts acquired from Deutsche Bank was valued at $9.3 million as of September 30, 2020. Inputs used in the model to determine the liability related to the pre-existing contingent consideration arrangement, which currently assumes no growth rates in forecasted AUM.
In connection with the OppenheimerFunds acquisition (see Note 2, "Business Combinations"), Invesco acquired a contingent consideration liability related to a historical OppenheimerFunds transaction valued at $10.7 million as of September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, inputs used to determine the liability related to these arrangements assumed no growth rate in management fees and a discount rate of 10.7%.
In 2019, the company made other digital wealth acquisitions, which has resulted in a contingent consideration liability of $7.0 million as of September 30, 2020. The liability is contingent upon the attainment of certain sales growth targets during 2020, 2021 and 2022.

(1) With respect to the time-vested awards, the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes 6.2 million restricted shares as employment inducement awards in connection with completed acquisitions.
The total fair value of common shares that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $109.6 million (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $161.0 million). The weighted average grant date fair value of the common share awards that were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $14.08 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $14.47).
At September 30, 2020, there was $276.0 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 2.41 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 5.86 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 to 8.5 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, 2020, the right-of-use asset of $307.4 million was included within Other assets, and the lease liability of $335.0 million was included within Accounts payable and accrued expenses, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The components of lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were as follows:
$ in millions | Three months ended September 30, 2020 | Nine months ended September 30, 2020 | |||
Operating lease cost | 23.2 | 65.0 | |||
Variable lease cost | 5.7 | 16.9 | |||
Less: sublease income | (0.5 | ) | (1.5 | ) | |
Total lease expense | 28.4 | 80.4 |

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was as follows:

Operating cash flows from operating leases included in the measurement of lease liabilities | 20.9 | 54.1 | |||
Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities | 13.5 | 161.9 |
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, 2020 was 3.37%.
As of September 30, 2020 the maturities of the company’s lease liabilities (primarily related to real estate leases) were as follows:
$ in millions | ||
Year Ending December 31, | Lease Liabilities | |
2020 (excluding the nine months ended September 30, 2020) | 23.4 | |

Excluded from the table 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.
11. TAXATION
On March 27, 2020, the United States enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, which contains among other things, numerous income tax provisions. Some of these tax provisions are expected to be effective retroactively for years ending before the date of enactment. The company has evaluated the current legislation and at this time, does not anticipate the CARES Act to have a material impact on its financial statements.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
$ in millions | Gross Unrecognized Income Tax Benefits | |
Balance at December 31, 2019 | 69.9 | |
Additions for tax positions related to the current year | 2.0 | |
Additions for tax positions related to prior years | 0.9 | |
Other reductions for tax positions related to prior years | (0.8 | ) |
Reductions for statute closings | (9.3 | ) |
Balance at September 30, 2020 | 62.7 |
At September 30, 2020, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $62.7 million as compared to the December 31, 2019 total of $69.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the company recognized a $9.3 million tax benefit that resulted primarily from the expiration of a state statute of limitations for a previously recorded position. The remainder of the movement is comprised of additions to existing positions net of other settlements and reductions.
19
Of the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, $48.8 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.
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 $6.0 million to $12.0 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 0.3 million common shares of performance-vested awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to their inclusion being anti-dilutive (three and nine months ended September 30, 2019: 0.7 million). There were no common shares of time-vested awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share during three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2019: none).
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 investment products which may be called in future periods. At September 30, 2020, the company’s undrawn capital commitments were $385.1 million (December 31, 2019: $357.0 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.
The company entered into several forward contracts to purchase its common shares. See Note 6, "Share Capital", for details of these forward contracts and the related liability outstanding at September 30, 2020.
Pursuant to an agreement entered into at the consummation of the acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, MassMutual, as the holder of seed capital investments in certain funds and accounts included in the acquisition, has the right to redeem its seed capital investments in accordance with an agreed upon schedule. In the event MassMutual exercises its redemption rights and the applicable fund or account is unable to meet such redemption (for example, due to illiquid investments or the need to maintain a level of investment in the fund), the company would be required to fund such redemption to MassMutual and seek reimbursement from the applicable fund or account at a later time when the fund or account is able to fulfill a redemption request. At September 30, 2020, the total amount of seed capital subject to this agreement is approximately $322.7 million.
20
Legal Contingencies
The company is from time to time involved in pending or threatened 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 or claim 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 (or merely threatened); 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 assessing the impact that a legal or regulatory matter will have on the company, management evaluates the need for an accrual on a case-by-case basis. If the likelihood of a loss is deemed probable and is reasonably estimable, the estimated loss is accrued. If the likelihood of a loss is assessed as less than probable, or an amount or range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, a loss is not accrued. In management’s opinion, adequate accrual has been made as of September 30, 2020 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.
OppenheimerFunds acquisition-related matter
In the fourth quarter 2019, the company identified an accounting matter which has required that the historical financial statements for certain funds identified below be restated. This matter also will result in remediation costs, all or at least some portion of which the company expects to bear. Uncertainties remain as of the date of this report regarding the nature, scope and amounts of such costs, as well as the degree to which the company will ultimately be financially responsible for bearing such costs. Set forth below is a more detailed description of this matter, based on information available as of the date of this report.
This matter pertains to the following four Master Limited Partnership (MLP) funds: (1) the Invesco Oppenheimer Steelpath MLP Income Fund; (2) the Invesco Oppenheimer Steelpath MLP Select 40 Fund; (3) the Invesco Oppenheimer Steelpath MLP Alpha Fund; and (4) the Invesco Oppenheimer Steelpath MLP Alpha Plus Fund (each a Fund and together the Funds). The company acquired sponsorship and management of the Funds on May 24, 2019 as part of its acquisition of OppenheimerFunds.
The Funds invest substantially all their assets in entities that are MLPs for tax purposes. As a result, the Funds are taxable entities subject to Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Tax Code). This is unusual, as most mutual funds are instead subject to Subchapter M of the Tax Code (and, in general, operate as flow through vehicles for tax purposes thereunder). Because of their tax status, the Funds have tax attributes, including deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, and must make assessments as to the amount of deferred tax assets that may be realizable in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740).
In preparing their financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019, questions arose as to whether the Funds’ previously issued financial statements for certain years failed to include appropriate valuation allowances against the Funds’ deferred tax assets in accordance with ASC 740. Following a regulatory consultation on these matters that concluded after the company filed its 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Funds determined that certain previously issued financial statements had to be restated (which the Funds have now done), and the Funds have recorded incorrect Net Asset Values (NAVs) for periods dating back to 2015. Remediating these matters has, will or may produce the following costs:
• | Costs of processing the restated historical financial statements, and related costs of communicating with present and former Fund shareholders; |
21
• | Costs of reimbursing shareholders for transactions in Fund shares made at incorrect NAVs and for certain fees paid by the Funds based thereon; and |
• | Certain additional costs in connection with these matters. |
As stated above, uncertainties remain regarding the nature, scope and amount of these costs. Furthermore, there is uncertainty as to the degree to which the company will become ultimately responsible to absorb some or all such costs. The sources of such uncertainties include, among other things, the following:
• | The process and method for determining such remediation is subject to various factors that are not yet certain and information that is not yet readily available. In this regard, a significant amount of the investors in the Funds are held in omnibus accounts where the company does not at this time have access to the level of data necessary to determine the appropriate remediation. |
• | The company and/or the Funds may be entitled to seek reimbursement for certain of such costs under applicable insurance policies (subject to the terms of such policies, including applicable deductibles and policy limits). |
• | The company may be entitled to seek indemnification for certain of such costs from MassMutual under the OppenheimerFunds acquisition agreement (subject to the terms of such indemnification, including the specified deductible and limit). |
During first quarter of 2020, the company recorded an estimated liability of $387.8 million for both pre and post-acquisition activity related to the matter. For pre-acquisition activity, the company recorded an adjustment to the initial acquisition accounting for a liability of an estimated amount of $380.5 million in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations and a corresponding adjustment was recorded to goodwill and deferred tax assets. (See Note 2, "Business Combinations", for additional information.) This estimate excludes any amounts that may be recovered through seller indemnifications and insurance recoveries. The estimate also excludes other costs related to the matter, such as the costs of remediation or the costs of communicating with fund shareholders. Additionally, the company recognized a liability of an estimated amount of $7.3 million for activity after the acquisition date, which was recorded in earnings. Both amounts reflect management’s best estimate based on its current understanding of the relevant facts and circumstances as of September 30, 2020. The measurement period for this transaction closed during the three months ended June 30, 2020; therefore, any further adjustments to the estimate, including any recoveries from insurance or indemnifications, will be recorded through earnings.
Fund Rebalancing Matter
During the second quarter of 2020, the company discovered and corrected an error with respect to two funds: the Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund and Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund (the Funds). The Funds are passive funds that are managed to track the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (the Index). In March 2020, due to volatility in the equity markets, S&P Dow Jones Indices communicated the decision to delay, and ultimately to separate, the rebalancing dates for its indices and noted some indices would be rebalanced in April and others in June. The company noted this delay but not the separation of rebalance dates and omitted rebalancing the Funds on April 24, 2020 when S&P rebalanced the Index. The company discovered this omission and rebalanced the Funds on April 29, 2020. The company has paid the Funds $105.3 million to compensate them for the performance difference that arose from market movements between April 24 and April 29. This amount was recorded as a general and administrative expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The company will seek reimbursement of this loss under applicable insurance coverages (subject to the terms of such policies, including applicable deductibles and policy limits); however, the amount and timing of any recovery is uncertain as of September 30, 2020.

The collateral assets held by consolidated CLOs are primarily invested in senior secured bank loans, bonds, and equity securities. Bank loan investments of $6,596.8 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 2020 and 2029, pay interest at LIBOR plus a spread of up to 10.0%, and typically range in S&P credit rating categories from BBB down to unrated. Approximately less than 1.03% of the collateral assets were in default as of September 30, 2020 and 2019. 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, 2020, the unpaid principal balance exceeds the fair value of the senior secured bank loans and bonds by approximately $287.8 million (December 31, 2019: the unpaid principal balance exceeded the fair value of the senior secured bank loans and bonds by approximately $181.2 million). These investments are accounted for on a one-month lag based on the availability of fund financial information, which means the third quarter fair value reflects a valuation as of August 31, 2020. CLO investments are valued based on price quotations provided by third-party pricing sources. These third-party sources aggregate indicative price quotations 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. 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 2033 and have a weighted average maturity of 10.28 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 0.40% for the more senior tranches to 8.07% 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.

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 and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report.
The three months ended September 30, 2020 witnessed a continuation of the market recovery in several major market indices. In the US, equities saw substantial increases in July and August as industrial production and retail sales improved while unemployment rates steadily declined. However, the quarter finished down from its earlier highs as concerns regarding COVID-19 resurfaced and uncertainty surrounding the U.S. election intensified. Throughout this period, the Federal Reserve continued its accommodative monetary policy by announcing average inflation targeting, which allows for temporary periods of inflation higher than the target 2% inflation rate in an effort to boost the economy. The S&P 500 index finished the quarter up 8.5%.
European equity markets were largely flat in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The economic rebound that started in the prior quarter began to slow as Europe began to experience increasing COVID-19 cases. In the UK, equity markets fell and continued their underperformance relative to other major markets for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Fears concerning a second wave of COVID-19 and the related market impact tempered investor sentiment. Additional concerns surrounding the long-term relationship between the UK and the EU remain following the UK’s formal withdrawal from the EU on January 31, 2020 as discussed in greater detail below. The FTSE 100 ended the quarter down 4.9%.
Japanese markets improved in the three months ended September 30, 2020 as a result of renewed optimism surrounding the Japanese economy and its ability to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. The Nikkei 225 finished the period up 4.0%. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, China’s economic growth persisted following the COVID-19 downturn at the beginning of the year. Despite this economic growth, there remains uncertainty surrounding trade and other economic or political disruptions between the U.S. and China as tension between the two countries endures.
U.S. Bond returns for the quarter remained steady in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The desire for higher-yielding assets persisted from the prior quarter, which continued to push corporate bonds higher relative to government bonds.
29
U.S. Treasury yields remained at all-time lows as the Federal Reserve maintained their accommodative monetary policy. The U.S. Aggregate Bond Index rose 0.6% in the quarter.
The table below summarizes returns based on price appreciation/(depreciation) of several major market indices for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

The company’s financial results are impacted by the fluctuations in exchange rates against the U.S. Dollar, as discussed in 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.
Update on significant events and transactions
As markets continued to rebound in the third quarter, and despite the September market pull-back, AUM increased to more than $1.2 trillion as of September 30. We achieved net long-term inflows in the third quarter of $7.8 billion across a broad variety of channels, geographies and asset classes. Average AUM for the third quarter increased nearly 8%, which resulted in higher operating revenues for the quarter. However, due to the shift in asset mix towards lower yielding products, our net revenue yield declined, which partially offset the revenue increase from higher AUM. This shift includes significant growth in the QQQ fund, which, though it does not earn management fees, delivers significant marketing and brand value and increases Invesco’s footprint, leadership and relevance in the ETF market. Given the mix shift we are seeing in our AUM, including the impact of larger, lower-fee institutional mandates as well as growth in lower fee AUM, we expect a modest impact to our revenue yield in the near term.
In light of the ongoing global pandemic and its impact on both markets and clients, the company continues to manage discretionary expenses. Much of our recent operating expense improvement has been realized through pandemic-related restrictions on travel and other business operations. While these measures have and will continue to benefit our operating expenses, they are expected to be temporary improvements.
As we noted during the second quarter, we have undertaken a strategic evaluation of our business focusing on four key areas of our expense base: our organizational model, our real estate footprint, management of third party spend, and technology and operations efficiency. We plan to invest in key areas of growth aligned with our strategic plan, including ETFs, China, Solutions, Alternatives, Global Equities and data and analytics, while creating permanent annual net operating expense improvements of $200 million. A significant element of the savings will be generated from realigning our workforce to support key areas of growth as well as repositioning to lower cost locations. We expect $150 million of the savings to be achieved by the end of 2021 with the remainder by the end of 2022. Restructuring costs are estimated to be in a range of $250 to $275
30
million over the next two years, with approximately 40% of those charges occurring in the fourth quarter, 40% occurring by the end of 2021 and the remaining amount in 2022.
We continue to focus on capital and expense management and we improved our financial and liquidity position by increasing cash and lowering outstanding debt. The company reduced its outstanding balance on the credit facility during the third quarter to $90.0 million at September 30, 2020 from $325.6 million at June 30, 2020, demonstrating the company’s commitment to maintaining financial strength. During the quarter, we grew our cash balances from $987.1 million at June 30, 2020 to $1,066.6 million at September 30, 2020.
Managing our business and meeting client needs through COVID-19
Invesco is committed to helping our employees, our clients and our communities navigate the challenges presented by the spread of COVID-19. The primary focus of our efforts is to ensure the health and safety of our employees while preserving our ability to serve clients and manage assets in a highly dynamic market environment.
As always, we are committed to helping our clients achieve their investment objectives through disciplined long-term investing. To this end, we have intensified our efforts to support clients by proactively engaging with them virtually and providing thought leadership and other value-added services to help them navigate the volatile markets. We believe our client-centric approach in this time of stress will have a lasting impact and allow us and our clients to emerge from this crisis stronger.
To help ensure we can continue to meet client needs, the majority of our global employees are working remotely, with small select teams working at alternate sites or operating in split shifts to mitigate the risks associated with the virus. Some of our offices in locations across the globe have begun cautious re-openings, but will continue to be flexible and responsive to the evolving threat of the virus and may re-close if necessary. Decisions regarding openings and closings of our offices are supported by information from local government and health officials, as well as our own internal research regarding the needs of our employees and clients.
Our portfolio managers, research analysts and traders are successfully working remotely or in secure locations with access to all systems necessary to do their jobs and an ability to connect with their teams in managing client assets. Additionally, our operational, control and support teams remain working in a remote environment. To this end, the adequacy of our business operations has not been significantly impacted by the remote working environment. However, we continue to review and assess our business continuity plans, our operational resilience and our internal controls and processes, adjusting as necessary. This thoughtful, coordinated approach helps ensure our ability to continue to meet client needs and to run our business.
Other External Factors Impacting Invesco
Invesco has a larger global presence in key markets than many of our peers. As one of the leading investment managers in the UK and Europe, we were more impacted by continuing uncertainties surrounding Brexit. Additionally, our strong position in Asia Pacific meant that Invesco was more affected than others by market uncertainties over trade and other issues between China and the U.S.
The UK exited the EU under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement on January 31, 2020, and the longer term relationship between the UK and the EU is still subject to ongoing negotiations. Depending on the outcome of those negotiations, there may be an impact on the levels and composition of our AUM and investor sentiment, which may result in reduced or negative flows. In addition, because the UK Pound Sterling is the functional currency for certain of our subsidiaries, any weakening of the UK Pound Sterling relative to the U.S. Dollar could impact our reported financial results.
Investment exposure to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) based interest rates could impact our client portfolios. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, has made it clear that the publication of LIBOR is not guaranteed beyond 2021. As a result, firms must transition away from LIBOR to alternative risk-free rates no later than the end of 2021. The discontinuance of LIBOR may adversely affect the amount of interest or other amounts payable or receivable on certain portfolio investments. These changes may also impact the market liquidity and market value of these portfolio investments. Invesco finalized 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 among other adjustments. See Schedule of Non-GAAP Information for additional information regarding these adjustments. 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, 2020 compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2019); |
• | 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 are operating revenues plus the net revenues of our Great Wall joint venture; less pass-through revenue adjustments to investment management fees, service and distribution fees and other; 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 our joint venture investments, the operating income impact of the consolidation of investment products, transaction, integration and restructuring adjustments, 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 adjustments, 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).

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. |
(2) | Numbers in parenthesis reflect percentage of 5 year total ranked AUM. As of September 30, 2020. Total ranked AUM is $658.2 billion (54% of total Invesco AUM) for 1 year, $650.4 billion (53% of total Invesco AUM) for 3 year, $642.2 billion (53% of total Invesco AUM) for 5 year and $582.6 billion (48% of total Invesco AUM) for 10 year. |

Assets Under Management movements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019
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 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 certain AUM as long-term. 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. Long-term outflows reflect client redemptions from accounts/funds and include the return of invested capital on the maturity. We present net flows into 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.
In 2019, the company made certain reclassifications between active and passive classifications to better reflect the underlying AUM. In the AUM tables below, all periods have been reclassified to conform to the new presentation and reclassifications.

____________
(1) | The acquisition of OppenheimerFunds on May 24, 2019 added $224.4 billion in AUM during the second quarter of 2019. |
(2) | Gross revenue yield on AUM is equal to annualized total operating revenues divided by average AUM, excluding Invesco Great Wall AUM. The average AUM for Invesco Great Wall in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $51.0 billion and $46.5 billion (three and nine months ended September 30, 2019: $37.4 billion and $34.7 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 Fund Management Company (“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, 2020 were $1,206.2 billion, compared to $1,188.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Average AUM during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $1,167.1 billion, compared to $1,059.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The acquisition of OppenheimerFunds business on May 24, 2019 added $224.4 billion in AUM at that date, impacting the comparison between periods.

Market Returns
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, global equity markets saw significant volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in March 2020 and continuing through 2020. During the third quarter, market recovery increased our average AUM and revenues as compared to earlier in the year. However, market dynamics have also changed the AUM product mix, which has an effect on our revenue yield, as discussed further below.
Foreign Exchange Rates
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we experienced an increase in AUM of $7.7 billion due to changes in foreign exchange rates. In the three months ended September 30, 2019, AUM decreased by $8.2 billion due to foreign exchange rate changes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we experienced increases in AUM of $0.4 billion due to changes in foreign exchange rates. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, AUM decreased by $7.1 billion due to foreign exchange rate changes.
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.
In the three months ended September 30, 2020, net revenue yield was 36.2 basis points compared to 41.4 basis points in the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 5.2 basis points. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net revenue yield was 37.4 basis points compared to 39.6 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 2.2 basis points.
Net revenue yield has declined as a result of shifts in the AUM mix towards passive, lower-fee products and growth in our QQQ fund. At the industry level, investors continue to shift towards passive products and away from active, and Invesco is able to participate in this trend due to the breadth, strength and diversified nature of our business. As passive products generally have lower fees than active products, the AUM shift towards passive has contributed to the declining net revenue yield. Additionally, passive AUM includes our QQQ ETF, for which we do not receive a management fee but which delivers significant marketing and brand value and increases Invesco’s footprint, leadership and relevance in the ETF market. At September 30, 2020, passive AUM were $318.0 billion, representing 26.1% of total AUM at that date; whereas at September 30, 2019, passive AUM were $277.4 billion, representing 23.4% of our total AUM at that date.
Also contributing to the decline, the net revenue yield specific to passive AUM has declined, particularly the impact of growth of the QQQ fund. At September 30, 2019, the QQQ fund represented $74.6 billion, or 26.9% of passive AUM. At September 30, 2020, the QQQ fund represented $134.4 billion, or 42.3% of passive AUM. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, the net revenue yield on passive AUM was 11.4 basis points compared to 15.0 basis points in the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 3.6 basis points. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net revenue yield on passive AUM was 12.2 basis points compared to 14.5 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 2.3 basis points.
Market volatility in 2020 also contributed to investors moving into lower risk assets, such as money market and stable value funds, which are active funds with lower fees. We also saw outflows from equity products and inflows into fixed income and other relatively lower fee products. These changes have decreased the net revenue yield on active AUM. At September 30, 2020, active AUM were $900.2 billion, representing 73.9% of total AUM at that date; whereas at September 30, 2019, active AUM were $907.0 billion, representing 76.6% of our total AUM at that date. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, the net revenue yield on active AUM was 44.8 basis points compared to 49.2 basis points in the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 4.4 basis points. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net revenue yield on active AUM was 45.6 basis points compared to 47.7 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 2.1 basis points.
The changes described above have adversely impacted our revenue and resulting revenue yields, and we expect they will continue to pressure revenues and yields in the near term.

The impact of foreign exchange rate movements increased operating revenues by $12.5 million, equivalent to 0.8% of total operating revenues, during the three months ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased operating revenues by $1.1 million, equivalent to zero percent of total operating revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
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.
The results of the OppenheimerFunds acquisition are included from May 24, 2019 (date of acquisition), which impacts comparison between the nine-month periods presented here. As discussed in the “Executive Overview” section above, equity markets showed extreme volatility as global markets reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, with all time highs at the beginning of the period, followed by an extreme downturn and a subsequent recovery by the end of the period. The 2020 results were impacted by shifts in the mix of AUM, resulting both from flows and from the market impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has adversely impacted our revenue and resulting revenue yields in 2020. We expect market uncertainty and movement into lower yield products will continue to pressure revenues in the near term.

Investment Management Fees
Investment management fees decreased by $160.3 million (12.8%) in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $1,096.8 million as compared to $1,257.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements increased investment management fees by $11.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. After allowing for foreign exchange movements, investment management fees decreased by $172.0 million (13.7%). Average AUM increased 1.5% when compared to the 2019 period. However, shifts in the mix of AUM, resulting both from flows and from the market impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in a lower revenue yield on AUM in 2020, which resulted in lower revenues.
Investment management fees increased by $50.1 million (1.5%) in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $3,302.2 million as compared to $3,252.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This compares to a 10.2% increase in average AUM. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased investment management fees by $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. After allowing for foreign exchange movements, investment management fees increased by $50.6 million (1.6%). The increase in average AUM relates to the acquired OppenheimerFunds business (acquired May 24, 2019). However, shifts in the mix of AUM, resulting both from flows and from the market impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in lower revenue yields and lower revenues, partially offset the increase from the acquisition.
See the company’s disclosures regarding the changes in AUM and revenue yields during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 in the “Assets Under Management” section above for additional information regarding the impact of changes in AUM on management fee yields.
Service and Distribution Fees
In the three months ended September 30, 2020, service and distribution fees decreased by $32.4 million (8.4%) to $352.7 million as compared to three months ended September 30, 2019 of $385.1 million. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements increased service and distribution fees by $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The total decrease is driven by decreases in transfer agency fees of $16.2 million, distribution fees of $11.6 million and administration fees $6.4 million. The decrease results from reductions in AUM to which these fees apply.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, service and distribution fees increased by $152.7 million (17.0%) to $1,051.2 million as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $898.5 million. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements decreased service and distribution fees by $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The total increase is made up of higher distribution fees of $91.9 million, transfer agency fees of $46.9 million, administrative fees of $6.0 million and custody fees of $5.9 million. The increase is primarily a result of revenues earned from the acquired OppenheimerFunds business (acquired May 24, 2019) partially offset by decreases related to lower AUM to which these fees apply.
Performance Fees
Of our $1,218.2 billion in AUM at September 30, 2020, approximately $53.2 billion (4.4%) could potentially earn performance fees, including carried interests and performance fees related to partnership investments and separate accounts.
There were no performance fees earned in the three months ended September 30, 2020 (three months ended September 30, 2019: $14.9 million).
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, performance fees decreased by $44.1 million (84.2%) to $8.3 million when compared to the performance fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $52.4 million. Performance fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily generated by real estate and institutional products.
Other Revenues
In the three months ended September 30, 2020, other revenues decreased by $15.4 million (24.3%) to $48.1 million (three months ended September 30, 2019: $63.5 million). The impact of foreign exchange rate movements during the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased other revenues by $0.1 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in other revenues was primarily driven by decreases in front end fees of $6.9 million, UIT front end fees of $5.8 million, real estate transaction fees of $1.0 million and other transaction fees of $1.0 million.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, other revenues decreased by $17.8 million (10.4%) to $153.8 million (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $171.6 million). The impact of foreign exchange rate movements during the nine months
49
ended September 30, 2020 increased other revenues by $0.1 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in other revenue was primarily driven by decreases in UIT front end fees of $15.4 million and real estate transaction fees of $5.6 million partially offset by an increase in other front end fees of $5.6 million.
Invesco Great Wall
The company’s most significant joint venture arrangement is our 49% investment in Invesco Great Wall Fund Management Company Limited (Invesco Great Wall). Management believes that the revenues 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.
Management reflects 100% of Invesco Great Wall in its net revenues and adjusted operating expenses. The company’s non-GAAP operating results 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.
Net revenues from Invesco Great Wall were $65.3 million and average AUM was $51.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (net revenues were $44.7 million and average AUM was $37.4 billion in the three months ended September 30, 2019). The impact of foreign exchange rate movements during the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased net revenues by $0.8 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. After allowing for foreign exchange movements, net revenues from Invesco Great Wall were $64.5 million. The increase in revenue is a result of higher AUM as well as increased performance fees.
Net revenues from Invesco Great Wall were $167.2 million and average AUM was $46.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (net revenues were $113.2 million and average AUM was $34.7 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2019). The impact of foreign exchange rate movements during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased net revenues from Invesco Great Wall by $2.9 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. After allowing for foreign exchange movements, net revenues from Invesco Great Wall were $170.1 million. The increase in revenue is a result of higher AUM as well as increased performance fees and front-end fees.
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 $10.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 (three months ended September 30, 2019: $8.5 million. The increase is due to the increase in management fees earned from newly launched CLOs.
The elimination of management fees earned from CIP was $29.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $24.4 million). The increase is due to the increase in management fees earned from newly launched CLOs.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $1.2 million to $18.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 (three months ended September 30, 2019: $19.8 million).
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $0.2 million to $46.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $46.9 million).
Other gains and losses, net
Other gains and losses, net was a gain of $31.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 (three months ended September 30, 2019: $13.8 million gain). Included in the gain were $23.5 million gains on investments and instruments held for our deferred compensation plans, $6.6 million of net gains related to the mark-to-market on seed money investments, and $2.5 million of net gains related to our defined benefit pension plan. These gains were partially offset by an investment impairment charge of $1.7 million.
Other gains and losses, net was a loss of $15.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $69.0 million gain). Included in the $15.0 million loss were $29.9 million of net losses related to the mark-to-market on seed money investments, net realized investment losses of $9.8 million, an investment impairment charge of $3.6 million and $2.6 million of net foreign exchange losses on intercompany loans. These losses were partially offset by gains of $12.6 million on investments and instruments held for our deferred compensation plans, $12.3 million gains on the mark-to-market of an acquisition-related contingent consideration liability and $4.6 million of net gains related to our defined benefit pension plan.
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, 2020, interest and dividend income of CIP decreased by $14.1 million (15.6%) to $76.3 million (three months ended September 30, 2019: $90.4 million). Interest expense of CIP decreased by $16.2 million (27.9%) to $41.8 million (three months ended September 30, 2019: $58.0 million).
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, interest and dividend income of CIP decreased by $20.6 million (7.9%) to $241.2 million (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $261.8 million). Interest expense of CIP decreased by $19.6 million (11.5%) to $151.2 million (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $170.8 million).
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, 2020, other gains and losses of CIP were net gains of $64.7 million as compared to net gains of $4.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The net gains during the three months ended September 30, 2020 were attributable to market-driven gains on investments held by consolidated funds. CLOs are valued on a one-month lag, therefore the gains recorded in the third quarter reflect the valuation as of August 31, 2020.
54
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, other gains and losses of CIP were net losses of $61.4 million as compared to net gains of $36.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The net losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were attributable to market-driven losses on 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, 2020 resulted in a net increase in net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. of $9.6 million (three months ended September 30, 2019: $1.9 million decrease). The consolidation of investment products during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulted in a net increase in net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. of $9.4 million (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $1.3 million decrease). 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 23.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (three months ended September 30, 2019: 23.4%). The three months ended September 30, 2020 includes increases of 0.7% related to the vesting of additional common share-based compensation awards and 0.9% due to the UK tax rate rising to 19%. The inclusion of non-controlling interests in consolidated entities decreased our effective tax rate by 3.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (three months ended September 30, 2019: decreased 0.8%). The remainder of the rate movement for the quarter was primarily due to changes in the mix of pre-tax income.
Our effective tax rate increased to 28.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: 23.8%). The nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes increases of 1.9% related to the vesting of common share-based compensation awards and 0.5% due to the UK tax rate rising to 19% partially offset by a 1.3% decrease related to the reversal of an uncertain tax position due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. The inclusion of income from non-controlling interests in consolidated entities increased our effective tax rate by 0.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: decreased 1.8%). The remainder of the rate movement for 2020 was primarily due to changes in the mix of pretax 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.

(1) | Invesco Great Wall |
Management reflects 100% of Invesco Great Wall in its net revenues and adjusted operating expenses. The company’s non-GAAP operating results 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) | Revenue Adjustments |
In the fourth quarter of 2019, the company changed its presentation of the reconciliation between operating revenues and net revenues. All periods have been conformed to the new presentation. Neither operating revenues nor net revenues totals have changed for any historic periods.
Management believes that adjustments to investment management fees, service and distribution fees and other revenues from operating revenues appropriately reflect these revenues as being passed through to external parties who perform functions on behalf of, and distribute, the company’s managed funds. Further, these adjustments vary by geography due to the differences in distribution channels. The net revenue 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.
Investment management fees are adjusted by renewal commissions and certain administrative fees. Service and distribution fees are primarily adjusted by distribution fees passed through to broker dealers for certain share classes and pass through fund-related costs. Other is primarily adjusted by transaction fees passed through to third parties. While the terms used for these types of adjustments vary by geography, they are all costs that are driven by 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 revenues and expenses gross under U.S. GAAP on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
57
(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 Condensed 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 September 30, 2020 and 2019 -- 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) | The company recorded a charge of $105.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 due to a previously disclosed S&P 500 equal weight funds rebalancing correction. Due to the unique character and magnitude of this item, it has been adjusted from U.S. GAAP to arrive at the company's non-GAAP financial measures. |
(b) | 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 provided 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. |
(c) | In 2019, the company made digital wealth acquisitions, which resulted in a contingent consideration liability. Adjustment to the fair value of contingent consideration liability is a decrease of $3.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 3, "Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities". |
(d) | The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes a tax benefit of $9.0 million resulting from the reversal of an uncertain tax position due to the expiration of statute of limitations. This benefit has been removed from the company’s non-GAAP results to be consistent with the exclusion of the original provision in a prior period. |
(e) | Represents a non–cash income tax expense arising from the revaluation of certain deferred tax liabilities due to the increase in the UK corporate tax rate. |

Investments
As of September 30, 2020, we had $769.8 million in total investments (December 31, 2019: $829.5 million). Included in investments are $153.2 million of seed money investments in affiliated funds used to seed funds as we launch new products, and $178.9 million of investments related to assets held for deferred compensation plans, which are also held primarily in affiliated funds. Seed investments decreased by a net $82.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decreases in the period were redemptions of $188.0 million and $30.6 million of market valuation changes and foreign exchange movements. The decrease in the period was partially offset by purchases of $32.3 million and a non-cash increase of $104.0 million due to the deconsolidation of certain CIP in the period (restoring the company’s formerly eliminated investment balances). Investments related to deferred compensation awards decreased by a net $13.5 million during the period due to dispositions of $31.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by net purchases of $18.1 million and $0.2 million of market valuation changes and foreign exchange movements.
Included in investments are $388.3 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, 2019: $350.8 million). The increase of $37.5 million in equity method investments was driven by an increase from partnership contributions of $41.2 million, $46.7 million in current period earnings and a non-cash increase of $48.9 million related to the deconsolidation of certain investments during the period (restoring the company’s formerly eliminated investment balances). This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $64.1 million due to distributions from partnership investments, $29.4 million due to the Invesco Great Wall dividend and $5.8 million in market valuation changes and foreign exchange rates. Also included in investments are foreign time deposits of $29.7 million, which decreased by $2.3 million from the December 31, 2019 balance of $32.0 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 $10,835.6 million at December 31, 2019 to $7,882.5 million at September 30, 2020 was the result of decreases in market movements of $2,693.6 million and $311.1 million in foreign exchange rate movements, offset by net business inflows of $51.6 million.
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. We continue to make progress towards our 2020 plan to redeem approximately $200 million of seed capital investments where appropriate from certain of our investment products this year, and expect to meet the goal by year-end. As the company’s focus is on increasing financial strength and building liquidity, the company does not foresee additional share repurchases in 2020. As part of our efforts to continue reducing outstanding debt, the $1.5 billion capacity credit facility balance was reduced to $90.0 million at September 30, 2020 from $325.6 million at June 30, 2020. Our prudent capital management will enable us to continue to strengthen our balance sheet while preserving our ability to invest in future growth for the benefit of our business and our shareholders.
Our capital management process is 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, A3/Stable and A-/Stable 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 including the impact of COVID-19, 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.
In regard to its previously completed forward contracts, the remaining forward contract liability as of September 30, 2020 is $308.7 million. At September 30, 2020, collateral of $39.7 million has been posted related to this liability. Refer to Note 6, "Share Capital", for additional details.

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, 2020, the company’s minimum regulatory capital requirement was $725.7 million (December 31, 2019: $753.6 million); the decrease was driven by lower AUM as well as the weakening of the Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar. The total amount of non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents was $788.7 million at September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019: $847.0 million).
The consolidation of $8.2 billion and $6.5 billion of assets and long-term debt of CIP as of September 30, 2020, respectively, did not impact the company’s liquidity and capital resources. The majority of consolidated CIP assets and long-term debt balances relate to CLOs. The company’s risk with respect to each investment in CIP is limited to its equity ownership and any uncollected management and performance fees. As of September 30, 2020, the company’s net interest in CIP was $483.2 million.
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 flows 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.

(1) | 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. |
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, 2020, cash provided by operating activities was $662.7 million compared to $669.3 million provided during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As shown in the tables above, the impact of CIP to cash provided by operating activities was $54.2 million of cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $116.3 million of cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding the impact of CIP, cash provided by operations was $716.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $785.6 million of cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Cash inflows include a $209.0 million increase in operating income as well as net investment redemptions of $179.2 million, including seed money and deferred compensation investments (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $76.3 million net redemptions). Inflows were partially offset by net outflows from changes in payables and receivables due to timing of payments and receipts compared to net inflows in the prior period.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $829.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: net cash used of $769.3 million). As shown in the tables above, the impact of CIP on investing activities, including investment purchases, sales and returns of capital, was $756.7 million used (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $934.3 million used). Excluding the impact of CIP cash flows, net cash used in investing activities was $72.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: net cash provided of $165.0 million).
Cash outflows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, excluding the impact of CIP, included purchases of investments of $151.1 million (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $263.6 million purchases). These outflows were
63
partially offset by proceeds of $154.3 million from sales and returns of capital of investments (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $175.5 million proceeds).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company had capital expenditures of $73.6 million (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $75.6 million). Our capital expenditures related principally in each period to technology initiatives, including enhancements to platforms from which we maintain our portfolio management systems and fund accounting systems, improvements in computer hardware and software desktop products for employees, new telecommunications products to enhance our internal information flow, and back-up disaster recovery systems. Also, in each period, a portion of these costs related to leasehold improvements made to the various buildings and workspaces used in our offices. These projects have been funded with proceeds from our operating cash flows.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $230.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: net cash used of $140.2 million). As shown in the tables above, the impact of CIP on financing activities provided cash of $391.3 million (nine months ended September 30, 2019: cash provided of $893.6 million). Excluding the impact of CIP, financing activities used net cash of $621.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: net cash used of $1,033.8 million).
Financing cash outflows during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 a $190.6 million pre-payment on the forward contracts, $285.9 million of common dividend payments for the dividends declared in January, April and July (nine months ended September 30, 2019: common dividends paid of $388.3 million), $177.6 million of preferred dividend payments for dividends declared in January, April and July (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $64.4 million), the payment of $40.7 million to meet employees’ withholding tax obligations on common share vestings (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $55.4 million) and a payment of $16.8 million of contingent consideration (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $11.8 million). Financing cash outflows during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 also included the purchase of common shares through market transactions totaling $100.0 million. These outflows were offset by a net borrowing of $90.0 million on the credit facility (nine months ended September 30, 2019: repayments of $113.9 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 27, 2020, the company announced a third quarter 2020 cash dividend of $0.155 per share to holders of common shares, payable on December 2, 2020, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 12, 2020 with an ex-dividend date of November 10, 2020.
On October 27, 2020 the company announced a preferred dividend of $14.75 per share to the holders of preferred shares, representing the period from September 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020. The preferred dividend is payable on December 1, 2020 to shareholders of record at close of business on November 16, 2020.
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.

Long-term debt
Our long-term debt at September 30, 2020 was $2,172.0 million (December 31, 2019: $2,080.3 million) and was comprised of the following:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company’s weighted average cost of debt was 3.71% (nine months ended September 30, 2019: 3.93%).
Financial covenants under the credit agreement include: (i) the quarterly maintenance of a debt/EBITDA leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, of not greater than 3.25:1.00, (ii) a coverage ratio (EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement/interest payable for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended before the date of determination) of not less than 4.00:1.00. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with our financial covenants. At September 30, 2020, our leverage ratio was 1.43:1.00 (December 31, 2019: 1.31:1.00), and our interest coverage ratio was 10.94:1.00 (December 31, 2019: 11.76:1.00).

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 $2,172.0 million plus $11.3 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.
65
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, 2020, our maximum exposure to credit risk related to our cash and cash equivalent balances is $1,066.6 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.
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 $2,172.0 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.
Common Share Repurchase Plan
The company did not purchase shares in the open market during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,(During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the company did not make any repurchases of common shares in the market. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company repurchased 5.0 million shares in the market at a cost $100 million). Separately, an aggregate of 0.6 million and 3.0 million common shares were withheld on vesting events during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 to meet employees’ withholding tax obligations (three and nine months ended September 30, 2019: 0.8 million and 3.1 million shares). The fair value of these common shares withheld at the respective withholding dates was $5.8 million and $40.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2019: $14.8 million and $60 million). At September 30, 2020, approximately $732.2 million remains available under the share repurchase authorizations approved by the Board on July 22, 2016.
As the company’s focus is on increasing financial strength and building liquidity, the company does not foresee additional share repurchases in 2020.
Off Balance Sheet Commitments
See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies - Legal Contingencies”, 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, 2020, there were no material changes to the company’s contractual obligations.
66
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, 2019. 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
See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 1, "Accounting Policies - Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted.”
67
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
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, 2020 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, 2020, the interest rates on 95.9% of the company’s borrowings were fixed for a weighted average period of 7.2 years, and the company had a $90.0 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. The company’s put option contract to hedge its Pound-Sterling-based operating income expired on June 30, 2020.
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 losses were $3.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (nine months ended September 30, 2019: $9.0 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.
68
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, 2020. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The company has had no significant changes in its risk factors from those previously disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as noted below:
As a result of the recent global market reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic, our assets under management (AUM) have declined and adversely impacted our revenues and we face various potential operational challenges due to the pandemic.
As a result of the recent global market reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic, our assets under management (AUM) declined significantly during the first quarter of 2020. The decline in AUM and the decline in revenue yield adversely impacted our revenues during the nine-months ended September 30, 2020. The volatility in the global markets has also adversely affected the liquidity of certain managed investment products in which client and company assets are invested.
Our efforts to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have required, and will continue to require, a significant investment of time and resources across our business. In response to mandated precautions where applicable and to ensure the safety of our employees, the significant majority of our employees are working remotely at this time to seek to mitigate the risks associated with the COVID-19 virus. While our teams have been successful in working remotely, operational challenges may arise in the future. Many of the key service providers we rely on also have transitioned to working remotely. If we or they were to experience material disruptions in the ability for our or their employees to work remotely (e.g., disruption in Internet-based communications systems or networks; or the break-down in the availability of essential goods and services, such as material disruptions to the delivery of food or power), our ability to operate our business normally could be materially adversely disrupted. Similarly, to date our own employees and, we believe, the employees of our key service providers, have not experienced any material degree of illness due to the COVID-19 virus. In the event that our or their workforces, or key components thereof, were to experience significant illness levels, our ability to operate our business normally could be materially adversely disrupted. Further if our cyber security diligence and efforts to offset the increased risks associated with greater reliance on mobile, collaborative and remote technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the increased frequency and sophistication of external threat actors are not effective or successful, we may be at increased risk for data privacy or other cyber security incidents. Any such material adverse disruptions to our business operations or loss of information could have a material adverse impact on our results of operation or financial condition.
The extent to which our business, results of operations, AUM and financial results are further affected by the COVID‐19 pandemic will largely depend on future developments, which cannot be accurately predicted and are uncertain, including the duration and severity of the pandemic, length of time it will take for the financial markets and economy to recover and for our employees to safely return to the workplace, along with potentially more permanent impacts to how we serve our clients. In addition, many of the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10‐K for the year ended December 31, 2019 are heightened by the effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic and related economic conditions and could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, AUM or financial condition.
