Published on Monday, 09 August 2010 07:38 Written by TradersHuddle Staff

NEW YORK-( Business Wire )-

GLG Partners, Inc. (“GLG”) (NYSE: GLG) today reported a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 of $74.6 million, or $0.32 per fully diluted share. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $3.0 million, or $0.01 per non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, inclusive of $12.0 million, or $0.04 per non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share⁽²⁾, of expenses related to the proposed merger with Man Group plc.

“We continued to deliver for our investing clients in the first half of 2010 with our alternative strategies up 3.8% and many of our long only strategies well ahead of the leading market benchmarks," said Noam Gottesman, GLG Chairman and Co-Chief Executive. "Given our strong track record and platform, we are well positioned to benefit as the capital allocation cycle gains momentum. Our net AUM inflows have risen each quarter over the past year, culminating in net inflows of $1.0 billion in Q1 2010 and $1.5 billion in Q2 2010."

"It is our industry leading investment team and our established track record of delivering long-term performance across our broad platform of investment products which allows us to continue to attract investors,” added Emmanuel Roman, Co-CEO of GLG. “Looking ahead, we expect to be positioned strongly with increased scale, broader distribution and an unwavering focus on investment performance for our clients.”

¹ Performance is typically measured by the longest running share class in each fund. See the Appendix for a description of how dollar-weighted average returns are calculated.

³ Shares associated with the convertible notes have been excluded from the non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share count for Q2 2010 and H1 2010 due to their anti-dilutive impact and no convertible note interest was added back to non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the periods. In Q2 2009 and H1 2009, however, the shares associated with the convertible notes have been included in the non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share counts due to their dilutive impact and convertible note interest in the amount of $1.6 million was added back to non-GAAP adjusted net income for the periods.

The June 2010 quarter and first half 2010 results include $12.0 million (pre and after-tax), or $0.04 per non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share⁽²⁾, of expenses related to the proposed merger with Man Group plc.

The June 2009 quarter and first half 2009 results reflected the following significant items: an $84.8 million gain on the extinguishment of debt (or approximately $75 million on an after-tax basis), $4.1 million of acquisition and restructuring costs associated with the acquisition of Société Générale Asset Management UK (“SGAM UK”) ($3.2 million on an after-tax basis) and a $2.0 million operating loss on a pre and after-tax basis from SGAM UK.

GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first half of 2010 was $135.4 million, or $0.59 per fully diluted share. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $6.1 million, or $0.02 per non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

GLG’s GAAP results include certain significant and largely non-cash expenses associated with its reverse acquisition transaction with Freedom Acquisition Holdings in November 2007 (“Acquisition-related compensation expense”). GLG’s management assesses the underlying performance of its business based on certain non-GAAP metrics which exclude Acquisition-related compensation expense. These metrics are discussed in detail under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

Merger with Man Group plc

GLG announced on May 17, 2010 that it had agreed to be acquired by Man Group plc ("Man"). The proposed acquisition will be made through two concurrent transactions: a cash merger under a merger agreement entered into among GLG, Man and a Man merger subsidiary; and a share exchange under an agreement entered into among Man and GLG's principals (Noam Gottesman, Pierre Lagrange and Emmanuel Roman, together with their related trusts and affiliated entities) and two limited partnerships that held shares for the benefit of key personnel who are participants in GLG's equity participation plan or permitted transferees of the partnerships.

The transaction is subject to closing conditions, including approval by both Man and GLG shareholders. The closing of the transaction is expected to take place near the end of the third quarter of 2010.

Transaction costs associated with the proposed merger with Man of $12.0 million (pre and after-tax), or $0.04 per non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share⁽²⁾, have been recognized during the second quarter of 2010 within the statement of operations.

Assets under Management Summary

GLG’s total net assets under management (“AUM”) as of June 30, 2010 were approximately $23.0 billion (net of assets invested from other GLG managed funds), down 3.0% from March 31, 2010, up 3.5% from December 31, 2009, and up 20.2% from June 30, 2009.

Positive net inflows of approximately $1.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2010 ($0.5 billion of which came from alternative strategies and $1.0 billion of which came from long only strategies) were offset by performance driven reductions in AUM during a period in which broad stock market indices such as the MSCI World and S&P 500 registered declines of 11.2% and 11.6%, respectively. The effect of currency translation related to the decline of the Euro and British Pound Sterling relative to the U.S. Dollar decreased net AUM by $725 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. (See Table 2 for a net AUM roll forward and Table 3 for investment performance by strategy.)

Positive net inflows of approximately $2.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010 ($1.3 billion of which came from alternative strategies and $1.2 billion of which came from long only strategies) were partially offset by the effect of currency translation which decreased net AUM by roughly $1.5 billion in the first half of 2010. Performance reduced net AUM by approximately $0.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a period in which broad stock market indices such as the MSCI World and S&P 500 registered declines of 7.1% and 6.9%, respectively. (See Table 2 for a net AUM roll forward and Table 3 for investment performance by strategy.)

GLG’s total gross AUM (including assets invested from other GLG managed funds) was $24.9 billion as of June 30, 2010, down 3.6% from March 31, 2010, up 2.2% from December 31, 2009, and up 15.5% from June 30, 2009.

⁶ Quarterly average net AUM for a given period is calculated as a 2 point (quarter open and close) average. Average net AUM for Q2 2009 excludes the approximately $3 billion mandate pursuant to the sub-advisory arrangement with SGAM UK which terminated upon the completion of its acquisition on April 3, 2009 and includes net AUM of approximately $7 billion acquired from SGAM UK on April 3, 2009 as if the assets were acquired on April 1, 2009.

⁷ Inflows for the second quarter and first half of 2009 include SGAM UK net inflows of approximately $2.6 billion.

⁸ Performance as a percentage of opening net AUM is based on both opening AUM and inflows and outflows during the period and can be influenced by significant inflows or outflows.

Financial and Operational Summary

Second Quarter 2010

REVENUES

Net revenues and other income were $77.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, down 10.4% from the year ago period. Higher management fees and administration, service and distribution fees on strong net AUM growth were more than offset by lower performance fees and lower other income generated during the second quarter of 2010.

Second quarter 2010 performance fees were $22.4 million, down $15.6 million from the same period last year. These fees largely reflect first half performance in keeping with GLG’s policy to recognize performance fees when they crystallize, generally on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The amount of performance fees generated during the first half of 2010 was limited by the complexion of GLG’s first half 2010 investment returns and the level of AUM in position to earn performance fees entering 2010.

Management fees and administration, service and distribution fees totalled $54.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, up 30.0% year over year. The annualized yield on management fees and administration, service and distribution fees was 0.94% of average net AUM⁶, up 7 basis points (“bps”) from the first quarter of 2010 and up 5 bps compared to the annualized yield in the second quarter of 2009. The combination of inflows and performance over the past year has generated higher net AUM and modestly higher yields on GLG’s net AUM.

Other income decreased by $5.9 million from the second quarter of 2009 to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 reflecting lower foreign exchange gains on non-dollar denominated cash held on GLG’s balance sheet due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar during the period.

EXPENSES

GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $121.6 million compared to $171.9 million in the same quarter last year on significantly lower Acquisition-related compensation expense, primarily a function of shares vesting under the Agreement Among Principals and Trustees (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further detail) and share awards vesting in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share (“non-GAAP CBP”) decreased in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 by $1.9 million from the year ago period to $41.1 million. GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share and non-GAAP CBP for the second quarter of 2010 include $2.2 million of share-based compensation attributable to the change in the share price between the date the proposed merger with Man was announced and June 30, 2010, with respect to those share awards accounted for on a variable basis. Non-GAAP CBP is a financial measure not prepared under GAAP, and includes compensation, benefits and profit share but excludes Acquisition-related compensation expense described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

The total level of non-GAAP CBP when expressed as a percentage of revenues and other income rose 3 percentage points to 53.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from the same period last year. Share-based compensation associated with the proposed merger with Man (as described above), when expressed as a percentage of revenues and other income, was 2.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Absent the expenses related to the proposed merger with Man, the second quarter 2010 non-GAAP CBP ratio was flat year over year. The non-GAAP CBP to revenue ratio in the second quarter of 2010 reflects the expenses related to the proposed merger with Man, reduced payroll liabilities (as a result of the positive conclusion of a statutory audit) and a relatively low level of performance fees.

Please note that GLG’s compensation, benefits and profit share and non-GAAP CBP have large discretionary components and are finalized based primarily on full year performance as at December 31 of each year.

General, administrative, and other expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 increased $6.9 million from the year ago period to $32.3 million and includes $9.8 million of expenses related to the proposed merger with Man. These merger-related expenses drove the increase versus the year ago period, and were partially offset by ongoing expense reduction measures and foreign exchange effects.

Net interest expense was $2.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 versus $3.3 million in the same period a year ago. Net interest expense reflects the cost of borrowings under GLG’s term loan, revolving credit facilities and convertible notes, offset by the amortization of the deferred portion of the gain on debt restructuring and interest income on cash balances.

Realized losses on available-for-sale investments were $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $0 in the same period a year ago. The realized loss on available-for sale investments relates to investments made in GLG funds on behalf of participants in the equity participation plan. These investments are consolidated on GLG’s balance sheet under GAAP but are excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted net income, as the gains or losses on these investments ultimately flow to the participants in the plan.

In the second quarter of 2009, a net gain of approximately $75.0 million was recognized on the extinguishment of debt as $284.5 million in debt was repurchased in the period for $170.7 million (the difference between the $113.8 million discount paid to face value on the repurchase and the recorded gain in the statement of operations of $84.8 million is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over 28 months). There was also a gain in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $21.1 million reflecting negative goodwill from the acquisition of SGAM UK (intangibles of $33.3 million associated with the acquisition are being amortized over 9 years). The negative goodwill gain, related amortization and associated tax benefit are excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted net income as these items are not factored into management’s assessment of the underlying performance of GLG’s business.

TAXES

GAAP income tax expense decreased by $0.6 million from the year ago period to $1.3 million as a result of the increase in GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2010.

First Half 2010

REVENUES

Net revenues and other income for the first half of 2010 were $130.9 million, down 5.0% from the year ago period. Higher management fees and administration, service and distribution fees on strong net AUM growth were more than offset by lower performance fees and other income.

First half 2010 performance fees were $25.1 million, down $23.7 million from the same period last year. These fees largely reflect first half performance in keeping with GLG’s policy to recognize performance fees when they crystallize, generally on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The amount of performance fees generated during the first half of 2010 was limited by the complexion of GLG’s first half 2010 investment returns and the level of AUM in position to earn performance fees entering 2010.

Management fees and administration, service and distribution fees totalled $104.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, up 27.7% year over year. The annualized yield on management, administration, service and distribution fees was 0.91% of average net AUM¹⁰, down 17 bps compared to the annualized yield in the first half of 2009. The decrease in the annualized yield compared to the first half of 2009 reflects the addition of lower yielding SGAM UK long only net AUM in April 2009 partially offset by significant performance and inflow-related increases of net AUM and the resultant modest rise in the yield of GLG’s net AUM since June 30, 2009.

Other income decreased by $5.9 million from the first half of 2009 to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 reflecting lower foreign exchange gains on non-dollar denominated cash held on GLG’s balance sheet due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar during the period.

¹⁰ Average net AUM for a given period is calculated as a 3 point average for a half. Average net AUM for H1 2009 excludes the approximately $3 billion mandate pursuant to the sub-advisory arrangement with SGAM UK which terminated upon the completion of its acquisition on April 3, 2009 and includes net AUM of approximately $7 billion acquired from SGAM UK on April 3, 2009 as if the assets were acquired on April 1, 2009.

EXPENSES

GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $223.0 million compared to $318.6 million for the same period last year on significantly lower Acquisition-related compensation expense, primarily a function of shares vesting under the Agreement Among Principals and Trustees (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further detail) and share awards vesting in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP CBP increased in the first half of 2010 by $13.1 million from the year ago period to $76.1 million. GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share and non-GAAP CBP for the first half of 2010 include $2.2 million of share-based compensation attributable to the change in the share price between the date the proposed merger with Man was announced and June 30, 2010, with respect to those share awards accounted for on a variable basis.

The total level of non-GAAP CBP when expressed as a percentage of revenues and other income rose 12.4 percentage points to 58.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 from the same period last year. Share-based compensation associated with the proposed merger with Man (as described above), when expressed as a percentage of revenues and other income, was 1.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The non-GAAP CBP to revenue ratio in the first half of 2010 reflects expenses related to the proposed merger with Man, reduced payroll liabilities (as a result of the positive conclusion of a statutory audit) and first half performance fee levels.

General, administrative, and other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $11.3 million from the year ago period to $59.1 million and includes $9.8 million of expenses related to the proposed merger with Man. These merger-related expenses, as well as the $4.1 million one-time charge on losses related to a sublease rental in London, drove the increase versus the year ago period.

Excluding these costs, general administrative and other expenses decreased when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to ongoing expense reduction measures and foreign exchange effects.

Net interest expense was $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus $5.9 million in the same period a year ago. Net interest expense reflects the cost of borrowings under GLG’s term loan, revolving credit facilities and convertible notes, offset by the amortization of the deferred portion of the gain on debt restructuring and interest income on cash balances.

Realized losses on available-for-sale investments were $0.9 million in the first half of 2010 versus $21.2 million in the year ago period. The realized loss on available-for sale investments relates to investments made in GLG funds on behalf of participants in the equity participation plan. These investments are consolidated on GLG’s balance sheet under GAAP but are excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted net income, as the gains or losses on these investments ultimately flow to the participants in the plan.

During the first half of 2009, a net gain of approximately $75.0 million was recognized on the extinguishment of debt as $284.5 million in debt was repurchased in the period for $170.7 million (the difference between the $113.8 million discount paid to face value on the repurchase and the recorded gain in the statement of operations of $84.8 million is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over 28 months). There was also a gain in the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $21.1 million reflecting negative goodwill from the acquisition of SGAM UK (intangibles of $33.3 million associated with the acquisition are being amortized over 9 years). The negative goodwill gain, related amortization and associated tax benefit are excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted net income as these items are not factored into management’s assessment of the underlying performance of GLG’s business.

TAXES

GAAP income tax expense decreased by $10.5 million from the year ago period to reflect a credit of $8.0 million. The decrease in income tax expense was mainly due to a one-time tax credit of $7.3 million recognized in the first half of 2010.

Capital

As of June 30, 2010, there were 262.8 million common shares, 58.9 million FA Sub 2 Limited Exchangeable Shares, convertible notes convertible into 61.4 million common shares, and 54.5 million warrants outstanding (251.1 million common shares, 58.9 million Exchangeable Shares, convertible notes convertible into 61.4 million common shares and 54.5 million warrants, respectively, at March 31, 2010 and 250.3 million common shares, 58.9 million Exchangeable Shares, convertible notes convertible into 61.4 million common shares and 54.5 million warrants, respectively, at June 30, 2009). Approximately 40,000 shares were repurchased and no warrants were repurchased or exercised during the second quarter of 2010.

(“Freedom”) of GLG Partners LP and associated entities in November 2007 (the “Acquisition”). A reconciliation of non-GAAP CBP to GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share is provided in the following pages.

Acquisition-related compensation expense reflects GAAP accounting for two primary items: (1) the Agreement Among Principals and Trustees, which is a retention-driven agreement that requires GLG’s three principals and their related trusts to forfeit a formula-based percentage of their ownership interests in GLG to the remaining principals and their related trusts if one of them were to leave GLG prior to the fifth anniversary of the Acquisition (i.e., November 2012); and (2) the broadening of key personnel and employee ownership in GLG with respect to: (i) 15% of the total consideration paid for the GLG business in the Acquisition (i.e.; $150 million in cash and 33 million shares) which was awarded to fully consolidated partnerships (Sage Summit LP and Lavender Heights Capital LP) whose limited partners are key personnel of GLG; (ii) ten million shares issued in the Acquisition which were allocated to awards for the benefit of employees, service providers and certain key personnel under the 2007 Restricted Stock Plan; and (iii) approximately 250,000 shares which were allocated for the benefit of employees and certain key personnel under the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan at the closing of the Acquisition.

The expenses associated with the Agreement Among Principals and Trustees are non-cash, have been the largest component of the Acquisition-related compensation expense and will end in 2012. Any forfeited shares will not return to nor benefit GLG.

Management believes Acquisition-related compensation expense does not reflect GLG’s ongoing core business operations and compensation expense and excludes such amounts for assessing GLG’s ongoing core business performance.

Non-GAAP CBP is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP compensation, benefits and profit share.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: GLG’s management assesses the underlying performance of its business based on the measure “non-GAAP adjusted net income,” which adjusts GAAP net loss before non-controlling interests for: (1) the Acquisition-related compensation expense; (2) to the extent that GLG records a tax benefit in connection with Acquisition-related compensation expense that is tax deductible for GAAP purposes, the impact of that tax benefit in calculating non-GAAP adjusted net income; (3) any gains or losses realized from investments in GLG Funds held for the benefit of equity participation plan participants in connection with the Acquisition; (4) the cumulative dividends payable to the holders of exchangeable shares of GLG’s FA Sub 2 Limited subsidiary in respect of its estimate of the net taxable income of FA Sub 2 Limited allocable to such holders multiplied by an assumed tax rate; and (5) amortization of the intangible assets recognized in relation to the acquired management contracts of SGAM UK and its associated tax effect. The definition of non-GAAP adjusted net income was modified in the second quarter of 2009 to reflect certain additional adjustments arising from the SGAM UK acquisition, as these items are not factored into management’s assessment of the underlying performance of GLG’s business. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted net income to GAAP net loss before non-controlling interests is provided in the following pages.

For periods in which the conversion of the convertible notes would be dilutive and the underlying shares are included in the non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share count, GLG’s management further adjusts the non-GAAP adjusted net income measure to add back the amount of the convertible note interest expense for the period for purposes of the non-GAAP adjusted net income per non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share calculation.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net loss as an indicator of GLG’s operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Weighted Average Fully Diluted Shares: GLG’s management assesses business performance per share based on the measure “non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted shares,” which adjusts average fully diluted shares outstanding under GAAP for (1) the unvested shares issued pursuant to GLG’s equity participation plan, which are recorded under GAAP as treasury shares, but upon which it will pay dividends to the extent it pays them on vested shares; (2) unvested shares awarded under GLG’s 2007 Restricted Stock Plan and Long-Term Incentive Plans upon which it will pay dividends to the extent it pays them on vested shares; (3) the exchange of the FA Sub 2 Limited Exchangeable Shares; (4) the conversion of the convertible notes, if the conversion is dilutive; and (5) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the treasury stock method.

GLG is providing these non-GAAP financial measures to enable investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to perform additional financial analysis of GLG’s personnel-related costs and its earnings from operations and because GLG believes that they will be helpful to investors in understanding all components of personnel-related costs of GLG’s business. GLG’s management believes that non-GAAP financial measures also enhance comparisons of GLG’s core results of operations with historical periods. In particular, GLG believes that the non-GAAP adjusted net income measure better represents economic income than does GAAP net loss primarily because of the adjustments described under “Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income” above. In addition, GLG uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its evaluation of its core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes these measures are an important component of its internal performance measurement process. GLG also prepares forecasts for future periods on a basis consistent with these non-GAAP financial measures.

In addition, GLG’s management is presenting the non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share impact of expenses related to the proposed merger with Man (the GAAP $12.0 million expense divided by the non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share count presented in the attached Share Count Reconciliation) because GLG believes that it is important information for the reader of its financial statements to understand GLG’s core operating results excluding the expenses related to the proposed merger with Man.

Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by GLG may be different from financial measures used by other companies.

(1) Average net AUM for a given period is calculated as a 2 point average for the quarters, a 3 point average for the halves and a 5 point average for the 12-month periods. Q2 2009, H1 2009 and TTM to Q2 2009 average net AUMs exclude the approximately $3 billion of AUM mandated in December 2008 pursuant to a sub-advisory arrangement with SGAM UK which terminated upon the acquisition of SGAM UK on April 3, 2009 and include net AUM of approximately $7 billion acquired with SGAM UK on April 3, 2009 as if the AUM were acquired on April 1, 2009.

(2) Includes $2.2 million of expenses related to the proposed merger with Man which were recognized during Q2 2010.

(3) Includes $9.8 million of expenses related to the proposed merger with Man which were recognized during Q2 2010.

(4) See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for further detail.

(5) Shares associated with the convertible notes issued in May 2009 have been included in the non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share count for the Q2 2009, H1 2009 and TTM to Q2 2010 periods due to their dilutive impact and convertible note interest in the amount of $1.6 million has been added back to non-GAAP adjusted net income for these periods. In Q2 2010, H1 2010 and TTM to Q2 2010, however, the shares associated with the convertible notes have been excluded from the non-GAAP weighted average fully diluted share count due to their anti-dilutive impact and no convertible note interest was added back to non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the periods.

(6) Ratios are annualized for quarterly periods.

(7) Equals the sum of income taxes, cumulative dividends and tax effect of Acquisition-related compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets divided by the sum of adjusted net income, income taxes, cumulative dividends and tax effect of Acquisition-related compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets. The Q2 2010 effective tax rate is impacted by non-deductible expenses related to the proposed merger with Man of $9.8 million recognized during Q2 2010. Excluding the impact of these non-deductible expenses, the effective tax rate for Q2 2010 would be 30.8%.
