$16.5 billion of net long-term inflows for the quarter, primarily driven by ETFs and Index, Fundamental Fixed Income, and Multi-Asset/Other
Ending AUM grew to a record high of $1.8 trillion; an increase of 4.7% from the prior quarter
6.6% operating margin in Q3 2024 which includes a one-time non-cash acceleration of $147.6 million in expense resulting from changes to the retirement criteria for vesting of currently outstanding long-term awards; 31.6% adjusted operating margin(1)
Continued balance sheet strength - a zero balance on our credit facility and Cash and cash equivalents of over $1 billion
Repurchased 1.5 million common shares for $25 million during the quarter
Update from Andrew Schlossberg, President and CEO
"We continued our positive momentum in the quarter. We finished the period with record long-term AUM and $16.5B in long-term net inflows, despite ongoing market volatility across our global platform. Client engagements continue to broaden driven by our global network, diverse product suite, and improving investment results. As a result, we are pleased to report positive organic growth in all three regions, led by Asia Pacific at 9%, and across several asset classes, led by fixed income and ETFs. Importantly, we again generated positive operating leverage, and continued improvement in our operating income and margin. Our concentrated effort over the past several years to improve the balance sheet continues to pay off, putting us in position to repurchase $25 million of common stock during the quarter."

U.S. GAAP Operating Results:
Third Quarter 2024 compared to Second Quarter 2024
Operating revenues and expenses: Operating revenues increased $32.1 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter. Investment management fees increased $34.7 million, as a result of higher average AUM and an additional day in the quarter partially offset by the shift in AUM toward lower yield products. Service and distribution fees decreased $1.3 million. Performance fees were $2.8 million for the quarter. Other revenues increased $4.6 million. Foreign exchange rate changes increased operating revenues by $8.7 million in the third quarter.
Operating expenses increased $138.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter. Third-party distribution, service and advisory costs increased $4.2 million due to an increase in pass-through fund-related service and distribution costs. Employee compensation expenses increased $173.1 million primarily due to a one-time acceleration of $147.6 million in expense resulting from changes to the retirement criteria for vesting of currently outstanding long-term awards as well as a $29.4 million increase in expense related to the mark-to-market on deferred compensation liabilities. General and administrative expenses decreased $39.6 million primarily due to a $50.0 million liability recorded in the second quarter related to regulatory matters which was partially offset by higher professional fees in the third quarter. Foreign exchange rate changes increased operating expenses by $8.9 million in the third quarter.
Non-operating income and expenses: Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was a gain of $2.1 million, earned primarily from our China joint venture, partially offset by losses on our private markets investments. Interest and dividend income was $10.9 million. Other gains and losses were a net gain of $28.3 million, driven by market value changes on deferred compensation and seed capital investments. Other income/(expense) of consolidated investment products (CIP) was a gain of $16.7 million, primarily driven by net interest income and market gains and losses on the underlying investments held by the funds.
The effective tax rate was 28.6% in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to 24.6% in the second quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to an increase in non-deductible executive compensation related to the one-time acceleration of compensation expense for long-term awards and the unfavorable impact of the decrease in net income attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidated entities.
Diluted earnings per common share: Diluted earnings per common share was $0.12 for the third quarter of 2024.
Third Quarter 2024 compared to Third Quarter 2023
Operating revenues and expenses: Operating revenues increased $73.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023. Investment management fees increased $59.2 million as a result of higher average AUM partially offset by the shift in AUM toward lower yield products. Service and distribution fees increased $6.8 million due to higher average AUM. Other revenues increased $6.6 million primarily resulting from higher transaction fees.
Operating expenses increased $200.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023. Third-party distribution, service and advisory costs increased $51.4 million due to higher AUM. Employee compensation expenses increased $146.9 million primarily due to the previously noted one-time acceleration of expense for currently outstanding long-term awards of $147.6 million and an increase of $43.3 million in expense related to the mark-to-market on deferred compensation liabilities. The increase was partially offset by lower costs related to organizational changes of $36.1 million and lower staff and variable compensation costs of $6.8 million. Property, office and technology costs increased $7.9 million primarily due to higher software costs. General and administrative expenses decreased $5.2 million.
The effective tax rate was 28.6% in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to 26.7% in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to an increase in non-deductible executive compensation related to the one-time acceleration of compensation expense for long-term awards.
Adjusted(1) Operating Results:
Third Quarter 2024 compared to Second Quarter 2024
Net revenues and adjusted operating expenses: Net revenues in the third quarter increased $18.5 million compared to the second quarter primarily due to higher average AUM and an additional day in the quarter partially offset by the shift in AUM toward lower yield products and lower performance fees. Foreign exchange rate changes increased operating revenues by $7.6 million in the third quarter.
After allowing for foreign exchange rate changes, Adjusted operating expenses in the third quarter decreased $1.1 million compared to the second quarter. Employee compensation expenses decreased primarily due to lower costs related to organizational changes and staff costs which were partially offset by an increase in General and administrative expense due to higher professional fees.

The 2023 comparative period presented reflects the reclassification of certain operating expenses to align with current period presentation. The reclassification had no impact on our reported Operating revenues, Operating income, Net income, or any internal performance measure on which management is compensated.
Invesco Ltd.Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations
We utilize the following non-GAAP performance measures: Net revenues (and by calculation, Net revenue yield on AUM), Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd., and Adjusted diluted EPS. We believe the adjusted measures provide valuable insight into our ongoing operational performance and assist in comparisons to our competitors. These measures also assist management with the establishment of operational budgets and forecasts. 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.
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). In addition, a reconciliation of Adjusted operating expenses is provided below, together with reconciliations of the U.S. GAAP Operating expense lines to provide further analysis of the non-GAAP adjustments. 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. The tax effect of the reconciling items is based on the tax jurisdiction attributable to the transactions. These measures are described more fully in the company's Forms 10-K and 10-Q. Refer to these public filings for additional information about the company's non-GAAP performance measures.
