The assets under management in the firm's target date retirement products, which are reported as part of the multi-asset column in the table above, were $252.1 billion at September 30, 2018, compared with $244.2 billion at June 30, 2018, and $233.8 billion at December 31, 2017. Net cash flows into these portfolios were $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2018 and $10.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Investors domiciled outside the United States accounted for about 6% of the firm's assets under management at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Financial Results
Investment advisory revenues earned in the third quarter of 2018 from the firm's U.S. mutual funds were $877.3 million, an increase of 11.6% from the comparable 2017 quarter. Average assets under management in these funds increased 11.4% to $641.5 billion.
Investment advisory revenues earned in the third quarter of 2018 from subadvised and separate accounts as well as other investment products were $386.0 million, an increase of 23.4% from the comparable 2017 quarter. Average assets under management for these products increased 22.7% to $430.9 billion.
Administrative, distribution, and servicing fees in the third quarter of 2018 were $131.3 million, a decrease of $8.5 million from the comparable 2017 quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower transfer agent and distribution servicing revenue earned from the T. Rowe Price U.S. mutual funds due to client transfers among vehicles and share classes.
Operating expenses were $754.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared with $690.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, and $750.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, the firm's operating expenses in the third quarter of 2018 increased 9.1% to $744.5 million compared to the 2017 quarter and were lower than the $745.3 million recognized in the second quarter of 2018. The 9.1% increase in non-GAAP operating expenses from the third quarter of 2017 was due primarily to higher market driven expenses and continued strategic investments. The firm continues to expect its 2018 non-GAAP operating expenses to grow in the range of 8% to 11%. This expense growth range factors in the firm's cost optimization efforts and any contemplated uses of its expected U.S. tax reform benefits.
Compensation and related costs were $454.3 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 8.8% over the third quarter of 2017, due primarily to an increase in average headcount, the interim accrual of the annual bonus, and stock-based compensation expense. The firm's average staff size increased 4.2% from the third quarter of 2017. The firm employed 6,946 associates at September 30, 2018.
Advertising and promotion expense was $20.2 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 44.3% over the $14.0 million recognized in the third quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily driven by the launch of the firm's new media advertising campaign in the third quarter of 2018.
Technology, occupancy, and facility costs were $96.5 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 11.8% compared to the $86.3 million recognized in the third quarter of 2017. The increase was due primarily to incremental investment in the firm's technology capabilities, including related depreciation, hosted solution licenses, and maintenance programs.
General, administrative, and other costs were $73.7 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 9.7% compared to the $67.2 million recognized in the third quarter of 2017. The increase reflects growing operational and regulatory business demands.
Non-operating income was $124.9 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $57.6 million from the third quarter of 2017. The increase is due primarily to the gain the firm realized from the sale of its 10% holding in Daiwa SB Investments Ltd. This realized gain was partially offset by a decrease in net investment gains from the consolidated T. Rowe Price sponsored investment products. The components of non-operating income for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2017 and 2018, are included in the tables at the back of this release.
The firm's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 was 24.0%, compared with 34.4% in the 2017 quarter, as U.S. tax reform reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% on January 1, 2018. The third quarter rate of 24.0% contributes to an effective tax rate for nine months ended September 30, 2018 of 24.9%. The following reconciles the statutory federal income tax rate to the firm's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:
Statutory U.S. federal income tax rate | 21.0 | % |
Impact of nonrecurring charge related to U.S. tax reform recognized in the second quarter | 1.0 | % |
Impact of nonrecurring charge related to new Maryland state tax legislation recognized in the second quarter | .4 | % |
State income taxes for current year, net of federal income tax benefits(1) | 4.6 | % |
Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests | (.2) | % |
Net excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation plans activity | (1.8) | % |
Other items | (.1) | % |
Effective income tax rate | 24.9 | % |
(1) | State income tax benefits are reflected in the total benefits for net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests and stock-based compensation plans activity. |
The firm estimates its effective tax rate for the full-year 2018 will be in the range of 24% to 26%.

The firm's common shares outstanding were 242.6 million at September 30, 2018, compared with 245.1 million at the end of 2017. During the third quarter of 2018, the firm expended $124.5 million to repurchase 1.1 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $110.76. These repurchases bring the total amount expended for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, to $574.8 million, representing 5.4 million shares, or 2.2%, of outstanding common shares at an average price of $107.38. The firm invested $121.5 million during the first nine months of 2018 in capitalized facilities and technology, and expects capital expenditures for 2018 to be about $170 million, of which about 70% is planned for technology initiatives. These expenditures are expected to continue to be funded from operating resources.
Management Commentary
William J. Stromberg, the company's president and chief executive officer, commented: "In the third quarter, the combination of strong stock returns and solid net client inflows helped increase our assets under management by 3.8%. We are pleased with the pace and diversity of new sales across geographies and channels, and with our organic growth through the third quarter.
"Our long-term investment performance versus our peers remains strong, and we remain highly focused on delivering for our clients. We also continue to execute on our strategic plan across investment capabilities, distribution, and technology, including creating operational efficiency gains. Recent highlights include:
- Investment Capabilities - We continue to build out our investment professional staff globally, including additions to our equity research and dedicated multi-asset investment teams. We filed to launch the Dynamic Credit Fund and also expect to launch several other new products in 2019.
- Americas Distribution - In our U.S. intermediary segment, continued hiring across our sales and relationship management teams is deepening client engagement and generating net inflows, particularly in the broker-dealer and DCIO channels. We remain pleased with the traction we have gained on no transaction fee platforms. We also continue to build out our managed accounts program with the launch of dual contracts and the addition of clients and assets to our model portfolios and retail separately managed accounts.
- EMEA and APAC Distribution - Supporting client interest in our investment strategies, we added new sub-funds and share classes to our SICAV lineup. We also extended the lineup of SICAV funds available for distribution in Hong Kong, with more planned, and remain on track for the upcoming launch of locally domiciled Japan Investment Trusts. Our progress in these regions is also underpinned by continued improvement in brand recognition with intermediaries and institutions.
- Technology and Client Experience - We are growing our technology teams outside the U.S., building on progress being made to transform our clients' digital experiences, and further expanding innovation resources and activities in Maryland and New York.
"While our business is very competitive, our positioning remains strong. With the continued hard work of our associates around the world we are confident in our ability to add significant value for our clients and stockholders over time."

Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliation
The firm believes the non-GAAP financial measures below provide relevant and meaningful information to investors about its core operating results. These measures have been established in order to increase transparency for the purpose of evaluating the firm's core business, for comparing current results with prior period results, and to enable more appropriate comparison with industry peers. However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be calculated differently by other companies. The following schedule reconciles U.S. GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2018.

(1) | The non-GAAP adjustments add back the management and administrative fees that the firm earns from the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products and subtract the investment income and operating expenses of these products that have been included in the firm's U.S. GAAP consolidated statements of income. Management believes the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products may impact the reader's ability to understand the firm's core operating results.

Rowe Price investment products, net of elimination of its related management and administrative fees. | |||||||||||||||

(2) | This non-GAAP adjustment removes the impact of market movements on the supplemental savings plan liability and related economic hedges of the liability beginning July 1, 2017. Amounts deferred under the supplemental savings plan are adjusted for appreciation (depreciation) of hypothetical investments chosen by the employees. Since the firm economically hedges the exposure to these market movements, management believes it is useful to offset the non-operating investment income earned on the hedges against the related compensation expense to increase comparability period to period. The following table details the supplemental savings plan related items: | |||||||||||||||

(3) | This non-GAAP adjustment removes the non-operating income that remains after backing out the portion related to the consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products and the investments designated as an economic hedge of our supplemental savings plan liability. Beginning in the second quarter of 2018, management modified the non-GAAP adjustment to no longer adjust for the investment gains recognized on its cash and discretionary investments, as the income earned on these assets are considered part of the firm's core operations. The impact on previously reported non-GAAP measures is immaterial. Management believes adjusting for the remaining non-operating income helps the reader's ability to understand the firm's core operating results and increases comparability to prior years. Additionally, management does not emphasize the impact of the portion of non-operating income removed when managing and evaluating the firm's performance. | |||||||||||||||

(4) | In the first quarter of 2017, the firm recognized insurance recoveries of $50.0 million related to the Dell appraisal rights matter as a reduction in operating expenses. Management believes it is useful to readers of the firm's condensed consolidated statements of income to adjust for these insurance recoveries given the nonrecurring nature of the initial charge and related insurance recoveries. | |||||||||||||||
(5) | The income tax impacts were calculated in order to achieve an overall year-to-date non-GAAP effective tax rate of 36.6% for 2017 and 23.8% for 2018. As such, the non-GAAP effective tax rate for the third quarter was 35.0% for 2017 and 24.5% for 2018. The firm estimates its effective tax rate for the full-year 2018 on a non-GAAP basis will be in the range of 23% to 25%. | |||||||||||||||
(6) | During the second quarter of 2018, the firm recognized a nonrecurring charge of $20.8 million for an adjustment made to the charge taken in 2017 related to the enactment of U.S. tax reform. Management believes it is useful to readers of our consolidated statements of income to adjust for this nonrecurring charge in arriving at net income attributable to T. Rowe Price Group and diluted earnings per share. | |||||||||||||||
(7) | During the second quarter of 2018 the firm recognized a nonrecurring charge of $7.9 million for the remeasurement of the firm's deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the effect of Maryland state tax legislation enacted on April 24, 2018. Management believes it is useful to readers of our consolidated statements of income to adjust for this nonrecurring charge in arriving at net income attributable to T. Rowe Price Group and diluted earnings per share. | |||||||||||||||
(8) | This non-GAAP measure was calculated by applying the two-class method to adjusted net income attributable to T. Rowe Price Group divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution. | |||||||||||||||
