Update from Andrew Schlossberg, President and CEO

"Our strategic clarity has helped us drive organic growth through various operating environments and continued to prove effective in the first quarter in which we delivered over 5% long-term organic growth. We drove an 18% increase in operating income and positive operating leverage of over 500 basis points compared to the first quarter of last year, while improving our operating margin by over 330 basis points to nearly 32%. Balance sheet strength and enhanced return of capital to shareholders remains a priority, and we executed share buybacks during the quarter and announced an increase in the quarterly common stock dividend, reflective of our strong cash position and stable cash flows. Further, today we announced the $1 billion repurchase of our preferred stock held by MassMutual and an expanded strategic partnership wherein MassMutual will also provide seed capital investment to scale both firms' private wealth offerings. The hallmarks of the Invesco platform, including the breadth and scale of our products delivered through a diverse and global footprint, place us in a position of strength as we help our clients navigate this volatile and complex operating environment."

Operating revenues and expenses: Operating revenues decreased $63.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Investment management fees decreased $27.0 million primarily as a result of two fewer days in the quarter. Service and distribution fees decreased $9.9 million primarily due to two fewer days in the quarter and lower average AUM to which the fees apply. Performance fees decreased $30.6 million due to seasonality. Other revenues increased $3.7 million. Foreign exchange rate changes decreased operating revenues by $6.4 million.

Operating expenses decreased $29.4 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Third-party distribution, service and advisory costs decreased $17.6 million primarily due to a decrease in pass-through service and distribution costs.

The effective tax rate was 22.5% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 24.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to the favorable impact of the increase in net income attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidated entities and the favorable resolution of a state income tax matter which was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the change in the mix of income across tax jurisdictions.

The effective tax rate was 22.5% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 24.3% in the first quarter of 2024.
