LONDON — Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE/ASX: JHG; ‘JHG’, ‘the Group’) published its first quarter 2021 results for the period ended 31 March 2021.

First quarter 2021 operating income was US$192.5 million compared to US$227.0 million in the fourth quarter 2020 and US$(332.4) million in the first quarter 2020. Adjusted operating income, adjusted for one-time, acquisition and transaction related costs, was US$201.5 million in the first quarter 2021 compared to US$231.7 million in the fourth quarter 2020 and US$164.5 million in the first quarter 2020.

First quarter 2021 diluted earnings per share of US$0.88 decreased 14% compared to US$1.02 in the fourth quarter 2020 and increased versus US$(1.35) in the first quarter 2020. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of US$0.91 in the first quarter 2021 decreased 13% compared to US$1.04 in the fourth quarter 2020 and increased 52% versus US$0.60 in the first quarter 2020.

Dick Weil, Chief Executive Officer of Janus Henderson Group plc, stated:

“Our first quarter results reflect solid long-term investment performance, strong financials and continued capital return to shareholders.

“We remain confident in the momentum we are seeing in several areas of our business, including our Intermediary channel, Fixed Income and Multi-Asset capabilities, and within Equities, European Equities, Life Sciences and Sustainable Equities.

“We continue to be financially disciplined while focusing on investing in strategic growth and returning excess cash to shareholders. We returned over US$290 million through dividends and share buybacks in the first quarter, and we are pleased to announce a 6% dividend increase.” Page | 1

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS (unaudited) (in US$ millions, except per share data or as noted)

The Group presents its financial results in US$ and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘US GAAP’ or ‘GAAP’). However, JHG management evaluates the profitability of the Group and its ongoing operations using additional non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these performance measures to evaluate the business, and adjusted values are consistent with internal management reporting. See ‘Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information’ below for additional information.

Net income attributable to JHG 161.5 189.0 112.7
Diluted earnings per share 0.91 1.04 0.60

First quarter 2021 adjusted revenue of US$516.6 million decreased from the fourth quarter 2020 result of US$528.5 million primarily as a result of lower performance fees due to seasonality. First quarter 2021 adjusted net income attributable to JHG of US$161.5 million declined compared to US$189.0 million in the fourth quarter 2020 primarily due to the seasonal performance fees and larger net investment gains in the fourth quarter 2020.

DIVIDEND AND SHARE BUYBACK

On 28 April 2021, the Board approved a 6% increase in the quarterly dividend and declared a first quarter dividend in respect of the three months ended 31 March 2021 of US$0.38 per share. Shareholders on the register on the record date of 11 May 2021 will be paid the dividend on 27 May 2021. Janus Henderson does not offer a dividend reinvestment plan.

JHG purchased 8.1 million of its ordinary shares on the NYSE and its CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) on the ASX in the first quarter, primarily as part of its participation in Dai-ichi Life’s registered secondary public offering, for a total outlay of US$230.2 million.

Outperformance is measured based on composite performance gross of fees vs primary benchmark, except where a strategy has no benchmark index or corresponding composite in which case the most relevant metric is used: (1) composite gross of fees vs zero for absolute return strategies, (2) fund net of fees vs primary index or (3) fund net of fees vs Morningstar peer group average or median. Non-discretionary and separately managed account assets are included with a corresponding composite where applicable.

Cash management vehicles, ETFs, Managed CDOs, Private Equity funds and custom non-discretionary accounts with no corresponding composite are excluded from the analysis. Excluded assets represent 5% of AUM as at 31 March 2021. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson.

The top two Morningstar quartiles represent funds in the top half of their category based on total return. On an asset-weighted basis, 81% of total mutual fund AUM was in the top 2 Morningstar quartiles for the 10-year period ending 31 March 2021. For the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending 31 March 2021, 44%, 59%, 53% and 65% of the 196, 187, 179 and 148 total mutual funds, respectively, were in the top 2 Morningstar quartiles.

Analysis based on ‘primary’ share class (Class I Shares, Institutional Shares or share class with longest history for US Trusts; Class A Shares or share class with longest history for Dublin based; primary share class as defined by Morningstar for other funds). Performance may vary by share class. Rankings may be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund or share class and are calculated by Morningstar using a methodology that differs from that used by Janus Henderson. Methodology differences may have a material effect on the return and therefore the ranking. When an expense waiver is in effect, it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.

ETFs and funds not ranked by Morningstar are excluded from the analysis. Capabilities defined by Janus Henderson. © 2021 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we compute certain financial measures using non-GAAP components, as defined by the SEC. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We have provided a reconciliation of our non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP components. The following are reconciliations of US GAAP revenue, operating expenses, operating income, net income (loss) attributable to JHG and diluted earnings (loss) per share to adjusted revenue, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to JHG and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

1 JHG contracts with third-party intermediaries to distribute and service certain of its investment products. Fees for distribution and servicing related activities are either provided for separately in an investment product’s prospectus or are part of the management fee. Under both arrangements, the fees are collected by JHG and passed through to third-party intermediaries who are responsible for performing the applicable services. The majority of distribution and servicing fees collected by JHG are passed through to third-party intermediaries. JHG management believes that the deduction of distribution and service fees from revenue in the computation of adjusted revenue reflects the pass-through nature of these revenues. In certain arrangements, JHG performs the distribution and

Page | 7

servicing activities and retains the applicable fees. Revenues for distribution and servicing activities performed by JHG are not deducted from GAAP revenue.
2 Adjustments primarily represent rent expense for subleased office space as well as administrative costs related to Dai-ichi Life’s secondary offering. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.
--- ---
3 Investment management contracts have been identified as a separately identifiable intangible asset arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses. Such contracts are recognised at the net present value of the expected future cash flows arising from the contracts at the date of acquisition. For segregated mandate contracts, the intangible asset is amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the contracts. Adjustments also include impairment charges of our goodwill and certain mutual fund investment management agreements, client relationships and trademarks. JHG management believes these non-cash and acquisition-related costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.
--- ---
4 Adjustments primarily relate to contingent consideration adjustments associated with prior acquisitions and increased debt expense as a consequence of the fair value uplift on debt due to acquisition accounting. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.
--- ---
5 The tax impact of the adjustments is calculated based on the applicable US or foreign statutory tax rate as it relates to each adjustment. Certain adjustments are either not taxable or not tax-deductible.

On an asset-weighted basis, 86%, 86%, 88%, 79%<br>and 81% of total mutual fund AUM were in the top 2 Morningstar quartiles for the 10-year periods ended 31 March 2020, 30 June 2020, 30 September 2020,<br>31 December 2020 and 31 March 2021, respectively. For the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending 31 March 2021, 44%, 59%, 53% and 65% of the 196,<br>187, 179 and 148 total mutual funds, respectively, were in the top 2 Morningstar quartiles.<br>Analysis based on ‘primary’ share class (Class I Shares, Institutional Shares or share class with longest history for US Trusts; Class A Shares or share class<br>with longest history for Dublin based; primary share class as defined by Morningstar for other funds). Performance may vary by share class. Rankings may<br>be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund or share class and are calculated by Morningstar using a methodology that differs from that<br>used by Janus Henderson. Methodology differences may have a material effect on the return and therefore the ranking. When an expense waiver is in effect,<br>it may have a material effect on the total return, and therefore the ranking for the period.<br>ETFs and funds not ranked by Morningstar are excluded from the analysis.

30<br>ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES<br>Footnotes to reconciliation of adjusted financial measures<br>1 JHG contracts with third-party intermediaries to distribute and service certain of its investment products. Fees for distribution and servicing related activities are<br>either provided for separately in an investment product’s prospectus or are part of the management fee. Under both arrangements, the fees are collected by JHG<br>and passed through to third-party intermediaries who are responsible for performing the applicable services. The majority of distribution and servicing fees collected<br>by JHG are passed through to third-party intermediaries. JHG management believes that the deduction of distribution and service fees from revenue in the<br>computation of adjusted revenue reflects the pass-through nature of these revenues. In certain arrangements, JHG performs the distribution and servicing activities<br>and retains the applicable fees. Revenues for distribution and servicing activities performed by JHG are not deducted from GAAP revenue.<br>2 Adjustments primarily represent rent expense for subleased office space as well as administrative costs related to Dai-ichi Life’s secondary offering. JHG<br>management believes these costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.<br>3 Investment management contracts have been identified as a separately identifiable intangible asset arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses. Such<br>contracts are recognised at the net present value of the expected future cash flows arising from the contracts at the date of acquisition. For segregated mandate<br>contracts, the intangible asset is amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the contracts. Adjustments also include impairment charges of our<br>goodwill and certain mutual fund investment management agreements, client relationships and trademarks. JHG management believes these non-cash and<br>acquisition-related costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.<br>4 Adjustments primarily relate to contingent consideration adjustments associated with prior acquisitions and increased debt expense as a consequence of the fair<br>value uplift on debt due to acquisition accounting. JHG management believes these costs are not representative of the ongoing operations of the Group.<br>5 The tax impact of the adjustments is calculated based on the applicable US or foreign statutory tax rate as it relates to each adjustment. Certain adjustments are<br>either not taxable or not tax-deductible.
