U.S. GAAP

This section discusses the financial results of the company as presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Revenue

Revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $144.3 million, an increase of $18.5 million, or 14.7% from $125.7 million for the first quarter of 2021. The change was primarily due to an increase in investment advisory and administration fees of $17.4 million resulting from higher average assets under management across all three investment vehicles, the recognition of $2.3 million of performance fees from certain institutional accounts and one additional day in the quarter. Changes to investment advisory and administration fee revenue by investment vehicle were as follows:

•Institutional account revenue increased $6.4 million to $37.4 million;

•Open-end fund revenue increased $9.1 million to $69.7 million; and

•Closed-end fund revenue increased $1.9 million to $27.3 million.

Expenses

Expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $84.6 million, an increase of $10.8 million, or 14.6% from $73.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. The change was primarily due to:

•Higher employee compensation and benefits of $7.5 million, primarily due to higher incentive compensation of $4.4 million and higher accelerated vesting of certain restricted stock units of $1.6 million;

•An increase in distribution and services fees of $2.3 million, primarily due to higher average assets under management in U.S. open-end funds; and

•Higher general and administrative expenses of $1.1 million, primarily due to increased professional fees of $536,000, of which $260,000 was attributable to recruitment fees, and higher travel and entertainment expenses of $114,000.

Operating Margin

Operating margin was 41.4% for the second quarter of 2021, compared with 41.3% for the first quarter of 2021. Operating margin represents the ratio of operating income to revenue.

All values are in US Dollars.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 was 25.4%, compared with 8.4% for the first quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state, local and foreign income taxes and limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation, partially offset by the cumulative effect of a change in the company’s estimated effective tax rate for the year. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state, local and foreign income taxes which were more than offset by discrete tax items, primarily related to the reversal of certain liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits and the appreciated value of the restricted stock units delivered in January 2021.

Investment Performance at June 30, 2021

_________________________

(1)    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Outperformance is determined by comparing the annualized investment performance of each investment strategy to the performance of specified reference benchmarks. Investment performance in excess of the performance of the benchmark is considered outperformance. The investment performance calculation of each investment strategy is based on all active accounts and investment models pursuing similar investment objectives. For accounts, actual investment performance is measured gross of fees and net of withholding taxes. For investment models, for which actual investment performance does not exist, the investment performance of a composite of accounts pursuing comparable investment objectives is used as a proxy for actual investment performance. The performance of the specified reference benchmark for each account and investment model is measured net of withholding taxes, where applicable.

Based on independent rating by Morningstar, Inc. of investment performance of each Cohen & Steers-sponsored open-end U.S.-registered mutual fund for all share classes for the overall period at June 30, 2021. Overall Morningstar rating is a weighted average based on the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year Morningstar rating. Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.

Reconciliations of U.S. GAAP to As Adjusted Financial Results

Management believes that use of the following as adjusted (non-GAAP) financial results provides greater transparency into the company's operating performance. In addition, these as adjusted financial results are used to prepare the company's internal management reports which are used in evaluating its business.

While management believes that these as adjusted financial results are useful in evaluating operating performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
