Capital Management
T. Rowe Price remains debt-free with ample liquidity, including cash and discretionary sponsored portfolio investment holdings of $2.2 billion at March 31, 2017, and redeemable seed capital investments in sponsored investment portfolios of $1.3 billion. The firm's common shares outstanding decreased since the end of 2016 as the firm expended $316.3 million to repurchase 4.6 million shares, or 1.9%, of its outstanding common shares during the first quarter of 2017. The firm invested $46.9 million during the first quarter of 2017 in capitalized facilities and technology. The firm expects capital expenditures for 2017 to be up to $200 million, of which about two-thirds is planned for technology initiatives. The firm's expenditures are expected to continue to be funded from operating resources.
Investment Performance

Financial Results
Investment advisory revenues earned in the first quarter of 2017 from the T. Rowe Price mutual funds distributed in the U.S. were $715.8 million, an increase of $83.7 million, or 13.2%, from the comparable 2016 quarter. Average U.S. mutual fund assets under management in the first quarter of 2017 increased 15.2% from the average in the first quarter of 2016 to $536.5 billion.
Investment advisory revenues earned in the first quarter of 2017 from other investment portfolios were $275.3 million, an increase of $36.6 million, or 15.3%, from the comparable 2016 quarter. Average assets under management for these portfolios in the first quarter of 2017 were $308.9 billion, an increase of 17.7% from the average in the first quarter of 2016.
The firm has reduced the management fees of certain of its mutual funds and other portfolio investments since the end of the first quarter of 2016. The firm regularly assesses the competitiveness of such fees and will continue to make adjustments as deemed appropriate. These reductions were a factor in why investment advisory revenue grew slower than average assets under management in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the 2016 period.
Operating expenses, excluding the $50.0 million in insurance recoveries related to the Dell appraisal rights matter, were $641.9 million in the first quarter of 2017, an increase of $58.7 million from the comparable 2016 quarter. The firm currently expects that its planned operating expenses, excluding the operating expense impact of the Dell appraisal rights matter, will grow about 10% in 2017 versus 2016. The firm could elect to modify the pace of spending on its planned initiatives should markets rise or decline significantly.
Compensation and related costs increased $42.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2016, due primarily to additional headcount, an increase in the interim accrual of the annual bonus, and higher benefits. The firm's benefits have increased in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to an increase in market valuations on a larger supplemental savings plan liability, which results in additional compensation expense. These increases were offset in part by higher labor capitalization related to internally developed software as the firm continues to invest in its technology capabilities. Average staff size increased by 5.5% from the first quarter of 2016, and the firm employed 6,474 associates at March 31, 2017.
Advertising and promotion costs were $25.6 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared with $23.1 million in the 2016 quarter. The firm currently expects advertising and promotion costs for 2017 to be up to 10% higher than the 2016 year as the firm executes on a number of strategic initiatives.
Occupancy and facility costs, together with depreciation expense, were $81.0 million in the first quarter of 2017, an increase of $7.4 million, or 10.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to the added costs to update and enhance technology capabilities, including related maintenance programs.
Net non-operating income was $115.0 million in the first quarter of 2017, an increase of $29.9 million from the 2016 quarter. The components and variances are included in the table below:

Management Commentary
William J. Stromberg, the company's president and chief executive officer, commented: "Solid earnings expectations and strengthening global economic data helped U.S. stocks sustain their post-election rally and record tangible gains in the first quarter of 2017. Indexes did turn mixed in March, however, following the Federal Reserve's mid-month decision to raise short-term interest rates and concerns that the new administration's legislative agenda could face greater headwinds than previously believed.
"Reversing last quarter's trend, stocks in developed non-U.S. markets fared better than U.S. shares. A weaker dollar versus major non-U.S. currencies lifted returns in dollar terms, European equity markets benefited from improving trends, and the UK's initial steps to leave the European Union went relatively smoothly.
"Our assets under management grew by more than six percent in the first quarter of 2017—largely on the back of broad market appreciation—but also reflecting positive net flows into our international equity, international fixed income, and asset allocation strategies. Those net flows more than offset net outflows in U.S. equity, which continued to be impacted by clients reallocating to passive products. We believe our overall net inflows are illustrative of the strength of our relative investment performance and client services, growing investor interest and brand awareness in markets outside of the U.S., and the ongoing success of our multi-asset investment solutions.
"We are pleased with the progress we are seeing in previously announced investments in product, distribution, and technology initiatives. Recent highlights include:
- T. Rowe Price ActivePlus Portfolios–Our new digital discretionary investment management and advisory solution offering access to actively managed mutual funds and enhanced portfolio management services is now in market and helping clients meet their long-term retirement savings goals.
- New Investment Vehicles–New launches included retail separately managed accounts and model portfolios to meet the needs of our distribution partners.
- High Yield Acquisition–Our high yield capabilities will soon expand through an agreement to acquire the Henderson High Yield Opportunities Fund from Henderson Global Investors (North America) Inc. and merge it into a newly formed T. Rowe Price U.S. High Yield Fund in a transaction we expect to close in late May.
- Expanding Distribution Reach–We secured an agreement to be included on Charles Schwab's Mutual Fund OneSource® platform, making more than 100 of our mutual funds available to retail investors and advisors with no transaction fees.
- Client Experience Transformation–A new innovation lab in suburban Baltimore is driving rapid development and deployment of new and more efficient processes and improved client digital experiences.
- New York Technology Development Center–We began onboarding specialized investment and distribution technology talent to expedite implementation of advanced analytics, digital technologies, and enhanced client experiences.
"Our leadership team is pleased about progress on these strategic initiatives and salutes the outstanding work of our dedicated associates around the world."

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 (in millions, except for per-share amounts) reconciles U.S. GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP measures for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017.

(1) The non-GAAP adjustments add back the management fees that the firm earns from the consolidated sponsored investment portfolios and subtract the investment income and operating expenses of these portfolios that have been included in the firm's U.S. GAAP consolidated statements of income. Management believes the consolidated sponsored investment portfolios may impact the reader's ability to understand the firm's core operating results. The following table details the calculation of net income of consolidated sponsored investment portfolios, net of redeemable non-controlling interests, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017:
| Three months ended |
|||||||
| 3/31/2016 |

(2) This non-GAAP adjustment removes the non-operating income that remains after backing out the portion related to the consolidated sponsored investment portfolios. Management believes excluding 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 non-operating income when managing the firm and evaluating its performance. The following table details the calculation of other non-operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017:
| Three months ended |
|||||||
| 3/31/2016 |
3/31/2017 |

(3) In 2017, the firm recognized a $50 million reduction in operating expenses related to claims settled with insurance carriers that were filed in relation to the Dell appraisal rights matter. Management believes it is useful to readers of the firm's consolidated statements of income to adjust for this non-recurring insurance recovery in arriving at adjusted operating expenses and net income attributable to T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. and diluted earnings per share, as this will aid with comparability to prior periods and analyzing the firm's core business results.
(4) These were calculated using the effective tax rate applicable to the related items.
(5) This non-GAAP measure was calculated by applying the two-class method to adjusted net income attributable to T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution.
