Invesco Ltd.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Corporate Information
Invesco Ltd. (Parent) and all of its consolidated entities (collectively, the company or Invesco) provide retail and institutional clients with an array of global investment management capabilities. The company operates globally and its sole business is investment management.
Certain disclosures included in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (annual report or Form 10-K) are not required to be included on an interim basis in the company's quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q (Report). The company has condensed or omitted these disclosures. Therefore, this Report should be read in conjunction with the company's annual report.
Basis of Accounting and Consolidation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and consolidate the financial statements of the Parent and all of its controlled subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions, balances, revenues and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
Revenue Recognition. On January 1, 2018 the company adopted Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09), which revised revenue accounting rules through the creation of Accounting Standard Codification Topic 606 (ACS 606) and expanded the disclosure requirements. The company adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to contracts that were not complete as of that date. Under this method, entities are required to report any effect from adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the adoption date. The adoption of the standard did not have an effect on opening retained earnings, net income or earnings per share measures. The impact of ASU 2014-09 on the timing of recognition of performance fee revenues may result in future performance fees being recognized earlier under ASU 2014-09, but this will depend on the terms and conditions in the relevant agreement.
The application of the new principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09 resulted in presentation changes in the Consolidated Statements of Income whereby certain costs are now reported on a gross basis, when Invesco is acting as principal, and reported on a net basis, when Invesco is acting as an agent. In accordance with the ASU 2014-09 requirements, the disclosure of the impact of adoption on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income was as follows (in millions):

Financial Instruments. On January 1, 2018, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (ASU 2016-01). Under the new standard, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value with any changes recognized in earnings. ASU 2016-01 requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Accumulated gains of $3.2 million were reclassified into retained earnings at adoption date. With effect from the adoption of ASU 2016-01, seed money, investments held to settle the company's deferred compensation plan liabilities, and other equity securities are no longer categorized as trading investments or available-for-sale investments but instead are referred to as "equity investments," and all gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of these equity investments will be included in income. Prior period balances have been conformed to be presented as "equity investments," however the prior period treatment of gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the investments was retained. As ASU 2016-01 required a modified retrospective approach to adoption, available-for-sale seed money balances of $69.3 million at December 31, 2017 are presented as "equity investments" to conform to the current period presentation of seed money; however, the related accounting basis in that period was available-for-sale.

Statement of Cash Flows. On January 1, 2018, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" (ASU 2016-15), which clarified how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified and presented on the Statement of Cash Flows, including distributions from equity method investees. The amendments require a retrospective approach to adoption. As a result of adopting this standard, $8.6 million was reclassified from net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities to net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

On January 1, 2018, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash” (ASU 2016-18). The standard requires the inclusion of restricted cash within cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents balances on the statements of cashflows. ASU 2016-18 requires a retrospective approach to adoption. Accordingly, changes in CIP cash of $407.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are no longer presented as a component of the company's cash provided by operations as they were reported in the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2017. These changes in CIP cash now form part of the reconciliation of corporate cash and CIP cash at the end of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the period ended June 30, 2017. The adoption of this standard does not impact corporate cash and cash equivalents.

Pension Costs. On January 1, 2018, the company adopted Accounting Standard Update 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (ASU 2017-07). The amendments require that the service cost component of net periodic pension costs be recorded within employee

compensation expense and the other components of net benefit cost be recorded in other gains and losses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The company utilized a practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension plan footnote for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation. The application of the new rules results in the reclassification of the non-service cost components of the pension costs/(benefit) to other gains and losses, net, and has no impact to net income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the reclassification decreased operating income by $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, with a corresponding increase to other gains and losses, net.

Other Income. On January 1, 2018, the company adopted Accounting Standard Update 2017-05, "Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets: Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (ASU 2017-05). The standard clarified the scope of accounting for gains and losses from the derecognition of nonfinancial assets and added guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02). The standard requires that lessees recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a lease term greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The company is continuing to evaluate the potential impact of this standard through a detailed review of a sample of lease arrangements. A global cross-functional team is analyzing and assessing the impact of adopting the new lease accounting guidance. The company has selected a lease accounting software tool to assist in the accounting for lease arrangements under the new accounting rules and has begun the process of designing and implementing this tool.

Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy
Revenue is measured and recognized based on the five step process outlined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is determined based on the transaction price negotiated with the customer, net of discounts, value added tax and other sales-related taxes.

Investment management fees are derived from providing professional services to manage client accounts and sponsored investment vehicles. Investment management services are satisfied over time as the services are provided and are typically based upon a percentage of the value of the client’s assets under management. Investment management fees for certain arrangements include fees for distribution and administrative-related services. Any fees collected in advance are deferred and recognized as income over the period in which services are rendered.
Service fees are earned for services rendered relating to fund accounting, transfer agent, administrative and/or other maintenance activities performed for sponsored investment vehicles. All of these services are transferred over time. Service fees are generally based upon a percentage of the value of the assets under management.
The Company provides distribution services to certain sponsored investment vehicles. Fees are generally earned based upon a percentage of the value of the assets under management, as the fee amounts do not crystallize completely upon the sale of a share or unit. Accordingly, the distribution fee revenues are recognized over time as the amount of the fees becomes known. For example, U.S. distribution fees can include 12b-1 fees earned from certain mutual funds to cover allowable sales and marketing expenses for those funds and also include asset-based sales charges paid by certain mutual funds for a period of time after the sale of those funds. Generally, retail products offered outside of the U.S. do not generate a separate distribution fee; the quoted management fee rate is inclusive of these services. The Company also has certain arrangements whereby the distribution fees are paid upon the subscription or redemption of a share or unit.

Performance fee revenues associated with retail funds will fluctuate from period to period and may not correlate with general market changes, since most of the fees are driven by relative performance to the respective benchmark rather than by absolute performance. Performance fee revenues, including carried interests and performance fees related to partnership investments and separate accounts, are generated on certain management contracts when performance hurdles are achieved. Such fee revenues are recorded in operating revenues when the contractual performance criteria have been met and when it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur in future reporting periods. Cash receipt of performance fees generally occurs after the performance fee revenue is earned; however, the company may receive, from time-to-time, cash distributions of carried interest before any revenue is earned. Such distributions are reflected as deferred carried interest liabilities within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Given the uniqueness of each fee arrangement, performance fee contracts are evaluated on an individual basis to determine the timing of revenue recognition. Performance fees typically arise from investment management activities that were initially undertaken in prior reporting periods.
Other revenues include fees derived primarily from transaction commissions earned upon the sale of new investments into certain of our funds and fees earned upon the completion of transactions in our real estate and private equity asset groups. Real estate transaction fees are derived from commissions earned through the buying and selling of properties. Private equity transaction fees include commissions associated with the restructuring of, and fees from providing advice to, portfolio companies held by the funds. These transaction fees are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on the date when Invesco’s services are complete which typically coincides with when the transactions are legally complete.
Principal versus Agent
The company utilizes third party service providers to fulfill certain performance obligations in its revenue agreements. Generally, the company is deemed to be the principal in these arrangements, because the company controls the investment management and other related services before they are transferred to customers. Such control is evidenced by the company’s primary responsibility to customers, the ability to negotiate the third party contract price and select and direct third party service providers, or a combination of these factors. Therefore, investment management and service and distribution fee revenues and the related third party distribution, service and advisory expenses are reported on a gross basis.
Third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses include periodic “renewal” commissions paid to brokers and independent financial advisors for the continuing oversight of their clients' assets over the time they are invested and are payments for the servicing of client accounts. Renewal commissions are calculated based upon a percentage of the AUM value and apply to much of the company's non-U.S. retail operations. As discussed above, the revenues from the company’s U.S. retail operations include 12b-1 distribution fees, which are largely passed through to brokers who sell the funds as third-party distribution expenses along with additional marketing support distribution costs. Both the revenues and the costs are dependent on the underlying AUM of the brokers' clients. Third-party distribution expenses also include the amortization of upfront commissions paid to broker-dealers for sales of fund shares with a contingent deferred sales charge (a charge levied to the investor for client redemption of AUM within a certain contracted period of time). The upfront distribution commissions are amortized over the redemption period. Also included in third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses are sub-transfer agency fees that are paid to third parties for processing client share purchases and redemptions, call center support and client reporting. These costs are reimbursed by the related funds.

Put option contracts
The company purchased an additional put option contract for $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 to hedge economically foreign currency risk on the translation of a portion of its Pound Sterling-denominated earnings into U.S. Dollars, providing coverage through June 28, 2019.
Contingent Consideration Liability
At June 30, 2018 inputs used in the model included assumed growth rates in AUM ranging from (2.34)% to 0.74% (weighted average growth rate of (0.03)%) and a discount rate of 4.62%. Changes in fair value are recorded in other gains and losses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the period incurred. An increase in AUM levels and/or a decrease in the discount rate would increase the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, while a decrease in forecasted AUM and/or an increase in the discount rate would decrease the liability.

Net Investment Hedge

The Company designated certain intercompany debt as a non-derivative net investment hedging instrument against foreign currency exposure related to its net investment in foreign operations. At June 30, 2018, £130 million ($171.6 million) of intercompany debt was designated as a net investment hedge.  For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized foreign currency gains of $4.3 million resulting from the net investment hedge within currency translation differences on investments in foreign subsidiaries in other comprehensive income. No hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in income.

The total fair value of shares that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $153.1 million (six months ended June 30, 2017: $155.1 million). The weighted average grant date fair value of the share awards that were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $32.52 (six months ended June 30, 2017:$32.18).
At June 30, 2018, there was $360.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share awards; that cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.75 years.
9.  TAXATION
At June 30, 2018, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $19.2 million as compared to the December 31, 2017 total of $19.6 million. At December 31, 2017, the company had not completed the accounting for the tax effects of enacting the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "2017 Tax Act") and therefore recognized a provisional income tax benefit of $130.7 million.  As of June 30, 2018, the company continues to evaluate the accounting and as future guidance is issued, management finalizes its positions, and calculations are refined the estimates could potentially be affected.

See Note 8, “Share-Based Compensation,” for a summary of share awards outstanding under the company's share-based compensation programs. These programs could result in the issuance of common shares from time to time that would affect the measurement of basic and diluted earnings per share.
There were 0.7 million shares of performance-vested awards and no time-vested awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, due to their inclusion being anti-dilutive (three and six months ended June 30, 2017: zero and 0.3 million shares of performance-vested awards, respectively and no time-vested awards). There were no contingently issuable shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 (three and six months ended June 30, 2017: 0.1 million), because the necessary performance conditions for the shares to be issuable had not yet been satisfied at the end of the respective period.
11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments and contingencies may arise in the ordinary course of business.
Off Balance Sheet Commitments
The company has committed to co-invest in certain sponsored investment products which may be called in future periods. At June 30, 2018, the company's undrawn capital commitments were $426.5 million (December 31, 2017: $292.8 million).
The Parent and various company subsidiaries have entered into agreements with financial institutions to guarantee certain obligations of other company subsidiaries. The company would be required to perform under these guarantees in the event of certain defaults. The company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Legal Contingencies
The company is from time to time involved in litigation relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The nature and progression of litigation can make it difficult to predict the impact a particular lawsuit will have on the company.

22


Table of Contents    
    

                                    

There are many reasons that the company cannot make these assessments, including, among others, one or more of the following: the proceeding is in its early stages; the damages sought are unspecified, unsupportable, unexplained or uncertain; the claimant is seeking relief other than compensatory damages; the matter presents novel legal claims or other meaningful legal uncertainties; discovery has not started or is not complete; there are significant facts in dispute; and there are other parties who may share in any ultimate liability.
In management’s opinion, adequate accrual has been made as of June 30, 2018 to provide for any such losses that may arise from matters for which the company could reasonably estimate an amount. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of such claims will not materially affect the company’s business, financial position, results of operation or liquidity. Furthermore, in management’s opinion, it is not possible to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to other litigation contingencies.
The investment management industry also is subject to extensive levels of ongoing regulatory oversight and examination. In the United States, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions in which the company operates, governmental authorities regularly make inquiries, hold investigations and administer market conduct examinations with respect to the company's compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Additional lawsuits or regulatory enforcement actions arising out of these inquiries may in the future be filed against the company and related entities and individuals in the United States, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions in which the company and its affiliates operate. Any material loss of investor and/or client confidence as a result of such inquiries and/or litigation could result in a significant decline in AUM, which would have an adverse effect on the company’s future financial results and its ability to grow its business.

Balance Sheet information - newly consolidated VIEs/VOEs
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were two newly consolidated VIEs (June 30, 2017: the company consolidated fourteen new VIEs.) The table below illustrates the summary balance sheet amounts related to these products before consolidation into the company. The balances below are reflective of the balances existing at the consolidation date after the initial funding of the investments by the company and unrelated third-party investors. The current period activity for the consolidated funds, including the initial funding and subsequent investment of initial cash balances into underlying investments of CIP, is reflected in the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The collateral assets held by consolidated CLOs are primarily invested in senior secured bank loans, bonds, and equity securities. Bank loan investments of $5,124.5 million, which comprise the majority of consolidated CLO portfolio collateral, are senior secured corporate loans from a variety of industries, including but not limited to the aerospace and defense, broadcasting, technology, utilities, household products, healthcare, oil and gas, and finance industries. Bank loan investments mature at various dates between 2018 and 2026, pay interest at LIBOR plus a spread of up to 9.5%, and typically range in S&P credit rating categories from BBB down to unrated. Interest income on bank loans and bonds is recognized based on the unpaid principal balance and stated interest rate of these investments on an accrual basis. At June 30, 2018, the unpaid principal balance exceeds the fair value of the senior secured bank loans and bonds by approximately $52.7 million (December 31, 2017: the unpaid principal balance exceeded the fair value of the senior secured bank loans and bonds by approximately $84.6 million). Approximately less than 1% of the collateral assets were in default as of June 30, 2018 and 2017. CLO investments are valued based on price quotations provided by third party pricing sources. These third party sources aggregate indicative price quotations daily to provide the company with a price for the CLO investments. The company has developed internal controls to review the reasonableness and completeness of these price quotations on a daily basis. If necessary, price quotations are challenged through a third-party pricing challenge process.
Notes issued by consolidated CLOs mature at various dates between 2026 and 2031 and have a weighted average maturity of 10.0 years. The notes are issued in various tranches with different risk profiles. The interest rates are generally variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread, which varies from 0.92% for the more senior tranches to 8.25% for the more subordinated tranches. The investors in this debt are not affiliated with the company and have no recourse to the general credit of the company for this debt.

The following narrative will indicate the sensitivity of inputs illustrating the impact of significant increases to the inputs. A directionally opposite impact would apply for significant decreases in these inputs:
For real estate investments, a change in the average rent growth rate would result in a directionally-opposite change in the assumptions for discount rate and terminal capitalization rate. Significant increases in the average growth rate would result in significantly higher fair values. Significant increases in the assumptions for discount rate and terminal capitalization rate in isolation would result in significantly lower fair value measurements.

14. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On April 6, 2018, the company acquired the Guggenheim Investments' ETF business for $1.2 billion. The company borrowed $835 million on its credit facility in connection with the acquisition.  The initial estimates of identified assets acquired in the purchase are $527 million of acquired intangible assets (primarily indefinite-lived fund management contracts) and $677 million of tax deductible goodwill.

On June 4, 2018, the company acquired Intelliflo, a market-leading UK provider of advisor focused digital solutions. Our initial estimated purchase price allocation consists primarily of acquired intangible assets (customer relationships, developed technology and related assets) and goodwill.

As the company receives additional information related to these recent transactions, certain initially recorded estimates may change.


15.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 26, 2018, the company announced a second quarter 2018 dividend of 30.0 cents per share, payable on September 4, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2018 with an ex-dividend date of August 15, 2018.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto, which appear elsewhere in this Report. Except for the historical financial information, this Report may include statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” under the United States securities laws. Forward-looking statements include information concerning future results of our operations, expenses, earnings, liquidity, cash flow and capital expenditures, industry or market conditions, assets under management, geopolitical events and their potential impact on the company, acquisitions and divestitures, debt and our ability to obtain additional financing or make payments, regulatory developments, demand for and pricing of our products and other aspects of our business or general economic conditions. In addition, words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” and “would” as well as any other statement that necessarily depends on future events, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, and they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we make such statements based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations. We caution investors not to rely unduly on any forward-looking statements and urge you to carefully consider the risks described in this Report and our most recent Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
You may obtain these reports from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update the information in any public disclosure if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate.
References
In this Report, unless otherwise specified, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “company,” "firm," “Invesco,” and “Invesco Ltd.” refer to Invesco Ltd., a company incorporated in Bermuda, and its subsidiaries.
Executive Overview
The following executive overview summarizes the significant trends affecting our results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented. This overview and the remainder of this management's discussion and analysis supplements and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Invesco Ltd. and its subsidiaries and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report.
The three months ended June 30, 2018 saw continued volatility impact in the global markets as strong economic data was offset by increasing geopolitical uncertainty and rising global trade tensions. In the US, strong earnings growth and employment data helped propel the markets higher during the period while increased fears of negative trade actions between the U.S. and China dampened market enthusiasm, leading the S&P 500 Index to end the quarter up 2.9%. European markets were lifted by strong economic indicators and reduced political uncertainty during the quarter. With the Bank of England electing to maintain current interest rate levels, providing a lift for UK companies, the FTSE 100 was driven higher to finish the quarter up 8.2%. In Japan, increasing concerns around the potential for trade conflict between the US and China impacted markets, but a positive economic outlook and weakening Yen helped to drive markets higher with the Nikkei 225 finishing the quarter up 5.4%.
Bond returns for the quarter were mixed as the uncertainty on global trade policies and divergence of the economic outlook for the U.S. versus global economies increased volatility and depressed prices. U.S. government bonds outperformed global and corporate bonds for the period and led to the U.S. Aggregate Bond Index finishing down 0.2% for the quarter.

The company's financial results are impacted by the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. Dollar against other currencies, as discussed in the "Foreign Exchange Impact on Balance Sheet, Assets Under Management and Results of Operations" section and the "Results of Operations" section below.

Our revenues are directly influenced by the level and composition of our AUM. Therefore, movements in global capital market levels, net new business inflows (or outflows) and changes in the mix of investment products between asset classes and geographies may materially affect our revenues from period to period. As fee rates differ across geographic locations, changes to exchange rates have an impact on the net revenue yields.

Invesco benefits from our long-term efforts to ensure a diversified base of AUM. One of Invesco's core strengths, and a key differentiator for the company within the industry, is our broad diversification across client domiciles, asset classes and distribution channels. Our geographical diversification recognizes growth opportunities in different parts of the world. This broad diversification mitigates the impact on Invesco of different market cycles and enables the company to take advantage of growth opportunities in various markets and channels. The Company is moving to a unified brand - Invesco, while preserving the time-tested and distinctive investment perspectives, processes and approaches of our different investment teams across the globe. This effort will contribute to a more consistent client experience across multiple markets and strengthen our ability to market our comprehensive range of capabilities more effectively.

On April 6, 2018 the company completed its previously announced acquisition of Guggenheim Investments’ exchange-traded funds (ETF) business, which consists of $38.1 billion of assets under management (at date of acquisition). The acquisition strengthens Invesco’s market-leading ETF capabilities as well as the firm’s efforts to meet the needs of institutional and retail clients in the U.S. and across the globe, which will contribute further to the growth and long-term success of the business. With this acquisition, Invesco’s ETF assets under management total $219.9 billion globally (as of June 30, 2018). The aggregate purchase price paid by Invesco upon completion of the transaction was $1.2 billion.

On June 4, 2018, the company acquired Intelliflo, the No. 1 technology platform for financial advisors in the UK.(1) The addition of Intelliflo builds on the 2016 acquisition of Jemstep to deliver a global, advisor-focused digital platform that enhances the firm’s ability to meet evolving client needs.

Invesco continues to demonstrate its commitment to supporting financial advisors with industry leading tools and resources, such as Jemstep, as we believe these areas are key to delivering superior investment experiences. The range of investment capabilities available through Jemstep are broad across the firm's active, alternative and ETF offerings. Additionally, Jemstep offers open architecture to help advisors provide customized solutions for clients. As a market-leading provider of digital solutions, Jemstep continues to expand its capabilities and market presence, and is an integral part of Invesco's growth strategy. 

The Markets in Financial Instrument Directive (MiFID II) became effective in Europe in January 2018. Invesco is committed to ensuring our investment professionals have access to the external research market in order to achieve our long-term investment performance goals. Beginning in January 2018, external research costs incurred for MiFID II impacted funds and client accounts in Europe have been absorbed by the company and are not material to the company's financial statements.

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act was signed into law. The 2017 Tax Act, among other items, reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Our intention is to use the additional cash flow generated from the

31


Table of Contents    
    

                                    

lower tax rate first to reduce the outstanding balance on the credit facility resulting from acquisitions. After the credit facility balance is reduced, any residual excess will follow our capital management priorities.


In addition, during the second quarter of 2018:
The Invesco Global Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund was named best fund in the Bond Global Corporates category over 3 and 5 years in the UK and Europe in the recent 2018 Thompson Reuters Lipper Fund Awards.
"Risk & Reward," our flagship global thought leadership publication was honored at the 15th annual Gramercy Institute Marketing Strategy Awards.
Invesco won an acclaimed Gold Stevie Award 2018 for its Cross Boarder Purpose Campaign, as well as a Bronze Stevie Award for the smart beta study European Investor Research 2017.
Global credit rating agency Fitch Ratings assigned a first-time fund credit quality rating of BBB-f to the Invesco India Bond Fund. The rating makes our India Bond Fund the first among our peers to receive a credit rating from an international agency.
Invesco, along with our joint venture Invesco Great Wall, were honored with four awards at the 6th annual Best of the Best Awards organized by Asia Asset Management. These awards recognize excellence in the fund management industry across the Asia Pacific region.
Invesco launched two new ETFs to the market - the Invesco MSCI Saudi Arabia UCITS ETF, focused on delivering pure passive exposure to Saudi Arabia, and the Invesco AT1 Capital Bond UCITS ETF, offering access to higher yielding convertible assets.

Invesco Great Wall, the company's joint venture in China, is experiencing strong demand. In June, Invesco Great Wall's Jingyi Money Market Fund was selected as one of seven money market funds to be included in the money market program, Yu'E Bao, administered by Ant Financial, an affiliate of Alibaba. Given Invesco's leadership of the joint venture, the recent change in regulation allowing increased foreign ownership, and active dialogue with Invesco's joint venture partners around gaining additional ownership interests, the company will begin reporting 100% of the flows and AUM for Invesco Great Wall beginning in the third quarter. We expect that total flows (including those into money market) from IGW for the third quarter will be approximately $6 billion.

One of the company's strategic objectives is to harness the power of our global platform by improving effectiveness and efficiency by allocating our resources to the opportunities that will best benefit clients and our business. During 2018, the company has continued our efforts to transform several key business support functions to become more effective and efficient by leveraging shared service centers, outsourcing, automating key processes and optimizing the company's office footprint. Consistent with this objective, business optimization charges of $6.0 million and $14.2 million were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Total costs of these initiatives at completion are estimated to be approximately $156 million, of which $20 million remains to be incurred through 2018, including an ongoing large-scale outsourcing project. At the end of the second quarter 2018, these initiatives have produced annualized run-rate expense savings of approximately $52 million, and by completion in 2018, the annualized run-rate savings is expected to be up to $65 million.

Presentation of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Impact of Consolidated Investment Products
The company provides investment management services to, and has transactions with, various retail mutual funds and similar entities, private equity, real estate, fund-of-funds, collateralized loan obligation products (CLOs), and other investment entities sponsored by the company for the investment of client assets in the normal course of business. The company serves as the investment manager, making day-to-day investment decisions concerning the assets of the products. Investment products that are consolidated are referred to in this Form 10-Q (Report) as consolidated investments products (CIP). CIP includes all variable and voting interest entities, as applicable. The company's economic risk with respect to each investment in CIP is limited to its equity ownership and any uncollected management and performance fees. See also Note 12, "Consolidated Investment Products," for additional information regarding the impact of the consolidation of managed funds.
The majority of the company's CIP balances are CLO-related. The collateral assets of the CLOs are held solely to satisfy the obligations of the CLOs. The company has no right to the benefits from, nor does it bear the risks associated with, the collateral assets held by the CLOs, beyond the company's direct investments in, and management and performance fees generated from, the CLOs. If the company were to liquidate, the collateral assets would not be available to the general creditors of the company, and as a result, the company does not consider them to be company assets. Likewise, the investors in the CLOs have no

32


Table of Contents    
    

                                    

recourse to the general credit of the company for the notes issued by the CLOs. The company therefore does not consider this debt to be a company liability.
The impact of CIP is so significant to the presentation of the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that the company has elected to deconsolidate these products in its non-GAAP disclosures. The following discussion therefore combines the results presented under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) with the company’s non-GAAP presentation. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains four distinct sections, which follow the AUM discussion:
Results of Operations (three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2017);
Schedule of Non-GAAP Information;
Balance Sheet Discussion; and
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Wherever a non-GAAP measure is referenced, a disclosure will follow in the narrative or in the note referring the reader to the Schedule of Non-GAAP Information, where additional details regarding the use of the non-GAAP measure by the company are disclosed, along with reconciliations of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures. To further enhance the readability of the Results of Operations section, separate tables for each of the revenue, expense, and other income and expenses (non-operating income/expense) sections of the income statement introduce the narrative that follows, providing a section-by-section review of the company’s income statements for the periods presented.

Net revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure. Net revenues are operating revenues plus our proportional share of the net revenues of our joint venture investments, less third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses, plus management and performance fees earned from CIP. See "Schedule of Non-GAAP Information," for the reconciliation of operating revenues to net revenues.
(2)
Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted operating margin is adjusted operating income divided by net revenues. Adjusted operating income includes operating income plus our proportional share of the net operating income of our joint venture investments, the operating income impact of the consolidation of investment products, business combination-related adjustments, compensation expense related to market valuation changes in deferred compensation plans, and other reconciling items. See "Schedule of Non-GAAP Information," for the reconciliation of operating income to adjusted operating income.

Adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. and adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. is net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. adjusted to exclude the impact of CIP on net income attributable to Invesco Ltd., add back business combination-related adjustments, the net income impact of deferred compensation plans and other reconciling items. Adjustments made to net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. are tax-effected in arriving at adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. By calculation, adjusted diluted EPS is adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (for diluted EPS). See "Schedule of Non-GAAP Information," for the reconciliation of net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. to adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd.

Excludes passive products, closed-end funds, private equity limited partnerships, non-discretionary funds, unit investment trusts, fund of funds with component funds managed by Invesco, stable value building block funds and CDOs. Certain funds and products were excluded from the analysis because of limited benchmark or peer group data. Had these been available, results may have been different. These results are preliminary and subject to revision. AUM measured in the one, three, and five year quartile rankings represents 53%, 53%, and 49% of total Invesco AUM, respectively, and AUM measured versus benchmark on a one, three, and five year basis represents 65%, 63%, and 58% of total Invesco AUM as of 6/30/18. Peer group rankings are sourced from a widely-used third party ranking agency in each fund’s market (Lipper, Morningstar, IA, Russell, Mercer, eVestment Alliance, SITCA, Value Research) and asset-weighted in USD. Rankings are as of prior quarter-end for most institutional products and prior month-end for Australian retail funds due to their late release by third parties. Rankings are calculated against all funds in each peer group. Rankings for the primary share class of the most representative fund in each composite are applied to all products within each composite. Performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends. Past performance is not indicative of future results and may not reflect an investor’s experience.

Foreign Exchange Impact on Balance Sheet, Assets Under Management and Results of Operations
A significant portion of our business is based outside of the U.S. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. Dollar against other currencies, primarily the Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen will impact our assets, liabilities, AUM and reported revenues and expenses from period to period. The assets, liabilities and AUM of foreign subsidiaries are translated at period end spot foreign currency exchange rates. The income statements of foreign currency subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars, the reporting currency of the company, using average foreign exchange rates.
The table below illustrates the spot foreign exchange rates used for translation of non-U.S. Dollar denominated assets, liabilities and AUM into U.S. Dollars:

Assets Under Management movements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2017
The following presentation and discussion of AUM includes Passive and Active AUM. Passive AUM include index-based ETFs, unit investment trusts (UITs), non-fee earning leverage, foreign exchange overlays and other passive mandates. Active AUM is total AUM less Passive AUM.
The AUM tables and the discussion below refer to AUM as long-term. In 2017, the company changed the presentation of long-term inflows, outflows and AUM to exclude UITs and product leverage. Non-management fee earning AUM now includes Invesco QQQ, UITs and product leverage. In the AUM tables below, all periods have been reclassified to conform to the new presentation. The net flows in non-management fee earning AUM can be relatively short-term in nature and, due to the relatively low revenue yield, these can have a significant impact on overall net revenue yield.

Long-term inflows and the underlying reasons for the movements in this line item include investments from new clients, existing clients adding new accounts/funds or contributions/subscriptions into existing accounts/funds, and new funding commitments into private equity funds. Long-term outflows reflect client redemptions from accounts/funds and include the return of invested capital on the maturity or liquidation of private equity funds. We present net flows into institutional money market funds separately because shareholders of those funds typically use them as short-term funding vehicles and because their flows are particularly sensitive to short-term interest rate movements.

In 2018 reinvested distributions are shown in a separate line in the AUM tables. For periods prior to the third quarter of 2017, reinvested distributions are included in market gains and losses.
(2)
Gross revenue yield on AUM is equal to annualized total operating revenues divided by average AUM, excluding joint venture (JV) AUM. Our share of the average AUM in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for our JVs in China was $8.8 billion and $9.3 billion, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2017: $8.1 billion and $8.2 billion). It is appropriate to exclude the average AUM of our JVs for purposes of computing gross revenue yield on AUM because the revenues resulting from these AUM are not presented in our operating revenues. Under U.S. GAAP, our share of the net income of the JVs is recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, the numerator of the gross revenue yield measure, operating revenues, excludes the management fees earned from CIP; however, the denominator of the measure includes the AUM of these investment products. Therefore, the gross revenue yield measure is not considered representative of the company's true effective fee rate from AUM.
(3)
Net revenue yield on AUM is equal to annualized net revenues divided by average AUM. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for a reconciliation of operating revenues to net revenues.
(4)
During the second quarter of 2018, $1.5 billion of passive ETF AUM were reclassified to active AUM.
(5)
The acquisition of Guggenheim Investments' ETF business on April 6, 2018 added $38.1 billion in AUM during the quarter.

Flows
AUM at June 30, 2018 were $963.3 billion (June 30, 2017: $858.3 billion). During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we experienced long-term net outflows of $8.0 billion. The company also experienced net inflows of institutional money market funds of $0.9 billion and net inflows in non-management fee earning AUM of $0.9 billion during the period. Long-term net outflows during the three months ended June 30, 2018 consisted of outflows of actively managed AUM products of $8.4 billion, offset by inflows of passive AUM products of $0.4 billion. Long-term net outflows for the period were from our retail distribution channel of $6.7 billion and our institutional distribution channel of $1.3 billion. On a client domicile basis, long-term net outflows were from the U.S., UK and Canada of $6.6 billion, $3.1 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively. These were partially offset by inflows of $1.1 billion and $0.7 billion from Continental Europe and Asia, respectively, during the

Average AUM during the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $962.6 billion, compared to $839.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Market Returns and Reinvested Distributions
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, positive market movement led to a $10.3 billion increase in AUM, with gains in our equity asset class of $11.4 billion, balanced asset class of $0.3 billion and money market assets class of $0.1 billion. Reinvested distributions of $0.7 billion were from the equity asset class of $0.3 billion, fixed income class of $0.3 billion and alternatives asset class of $0.1 billion.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, negative market movement led to a $1.9 billion decrease in AUM, with losses in our fixed income class of $2.8 billion, alternatives class of $1.4 billion and balanced asset class of $1.0 billion. Reinvested distributions of $1.3 billion were from the equity asset class of $0.6 billion, fixed income class of $0.5 billion and alternatives asset class of $0.2 billion. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, positive market movement including reinvested distributions led to a $36.1 billion increase in AUM, primarily with gains in the equity asset class of $31.1 billion, fixed income class of $3.7 billion and balanced asset class of $1.5 billion,

See the company's disclosures regarding the changes in foreign exchange rates during three months ended June 30,

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we experienced decreases in AUM of $5.9 billion due to changes in foreign exchange rates. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, AUM increased by $12.2 billion due to foreign exchange rate changes. See the company's disclosures regarding the changes in foreign exchange rates during six months ended June 30, 2018 in the “Foreign Exchange Impact on Balance Sheet, Assets Under Management and Results of Operations” section above for additional information regarding the movement of foreign exchange rates.
Revenue Yield
Gross revenue yield on AUM decreased 3.3 basis points to 56.4 basis points in the three months ended June 30, 2018 from the three months ended June 30, 2017 level o59.7 basis points. Management does not consider gross revenue yield, the most comparable U.S. GAAP-based measure to net revenue yield, to be a meaningful effective fee rate measure for the reasons outlined in footnote 2 to the Changes in AUM table above.
Net revenue yield on AUM decreased 2.7 basis points to 40.0 basis points in the three months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 yield of 42.7 basis points. Excluding performance fees, the net revenue yield decreased 2.3 basis point to 39.5 basis points in the three months ended June 30, 2018 (three months ended June 30, 2017: 41.8 basis points). Net revenue yield on AUM decreased 2.1 basis points to 40.1 basis points in the six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 yield of 42.2 basis points. Excluding performance fees, the net revenue yield decreased 1.7 basis point to 39.7 basis points in the six months ended June 30, 2018 (six months ended June 30, 2017: 41.4 basis points).
As a significant proportion of our AUM is based outside of the U.S., changes in foreign exchange rates result in a change to the mix of U.S. Dollar denominated AUM with AUM denominated in other currencies. As fee rates differ across geographic locations, changes to exchange rates have an impact on the net revenue yields. See the company's disclosures regarding the changes in foreign exchange rates in the "Foreign Exchange Impact on Balance Sheet, Assets Under Management and Results of Operations" section above for additional information regarding the movement of foreign exchange rates.
Additionally, changes in our AUM mix significantly impact our net revenue yield. Passive AUM generally earn a lower effective fee rate than active asset classes.  The acquisitions of the European ETF business in the third quarter of 2017 and the Guggenheim ETF acquisition in April 2018 increased the level of passive AUM and have a dilutive impact on the company's overall net revenue yield.
At June 30, 2018, passive AUM were $241.2 billion, representing 25.0% of total AUM at that date; whereas at June 30, 2017, passive AUM were $156.6 billion, representing 18.2% of our total AUM at that date. In the three months ended June 30, 2018, the net revenue yield on passive AUM was 15.5 basis points compared to 16.6 basis points in the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of 1.1 basis points. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, the net revenue yield on passive AUM was 15.0 basis points compared to 16.6 basis points in the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of 1.6 basis points.
Changes in our AUM by channel, asset class, and client domicile, and average AUM by asset class, are presented below:

Channel refers to the internal distribution channel from which the AUM originated. Retail AUM represents AUM distributed by the company's retail sales team. Institutional AUM represents AUM distributed by our institutional sales team. This aggregation is viewed as a proxy for presenting AUM in the retail and institutional markets in which the company operates.
(2)
In 2018 reinvested distributions are shown in a separate line in the AUM tables. For periods prior to the third quarter of 2017, reinvested distributions are included in market gains and losses.
(3)
Asset classes are descriptive groupings of AUM by common type of underlying investments.
(4)
During January 2017, the company reclassified certain AUM previously classified in fixed income to money market totaling $3.0 billion.
(5)
There have been no significant changes to the managed objectives under the Alternatives asset class, which are disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
(6) Ending Money Market AUM includes $74.9 billion in institutional money market AUM.
(7)
Client domicile disclosure groups AUM by the domicile of the underlying clients.
(8)
During the second quarter of 2018, $1.5 billion of passive ETF AUM were reclassified to active AUM. During the first quarter of 2018, $29.5 billion of AUM were transferred from retail into institutional to better reflect the activities of institutional sales teams and the clients they support.
(9)
The acquisition of Guggenheim Investments' ETF business on April 6, 2018 added $38.1 billion in AUM during the quarter.

Results of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017
The discussion below includes the use of non-GAAP financial measures. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for additional details and reconciliations of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures.
2018 includes the results of the European ETF business which was acquired on August 18, 2017. 2018 also includes the results of the Guggenheim Investments' ETF acquisition from April 6, 2018 (date of acquisition), and the results of Intelliflo from June 4, 2018 (date of acquisition).
As discussed in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 1, “Accounting Policies,” the company adopted Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09) as of January 1, 2018. As a result of the modified retrospective adoption method, 2017 results of operations presented below were not restated to apply ASC 606. Therefore, comparisons between periods are impacted by the adoption as discussed below. The adoption of the standard did not have an effect on net income or earnings per share measures.

Net revenues are operating revenues less third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses, plus our proportional share of net revenues from joint venture arrangements, plus management and performance fees earned from CIP. See "Schedule of Non-GAAP Information" for additional important disclosures regarding the use of net revenues.
The impact of foreign exchange rate movements increased operating revenues by $23.1 million, equivalent to 1.7% of total operating revenues, during the three months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements increased operating revenues by $67.4 million, equivalent to 2.5% of total operating revenues, during the six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Additionally, our revenues are directly influenced by the level and composition of our AUM. Therefore, movements in global capital market levels, net new business inflows (or outflows) and changes in the mix of investment products between asset classes and geographies may materially affect our revenues from period to period. As discussed in the Executive Overview, markets have been volatile in 2018 and returns from capital markets were mixed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
Investment Management Fees
Investment management fees increased by $40.1 million (4.0%) in the three months ended June 30, 2018, to $1,050.5 million (three months ended June 30, 2017: $1,010.4 million). This compares to a 14.7% increase in average AUM. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements increased investment management fees by $21.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. After allowing for foreign exchange movements, investment management fees increased by $18.3 million (1.8%), which is a net increase comprised of increases in management fees of $72.1 million, offset by a decrease in management fees due to the application of new revenue recognition guidance of

$53.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The $72.1 million increase is due to higher average AUM, including the impact of the Guggenheim acquisition, and includes offsetting decreases from changes in the product mix of AUM.
Investment management fees increased by $128.6 million (6.5%) in the six months ended June 30, 2018, to $2,094.2 million (six months ended June 30, 2017: $1,965.6 million). This compares to a 14.7% increase in average AUM. The impact of foreign exchange rate movements increased investment management fees by $64.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. After allowing for foreign exchange movements, investment management fees increased by $63.9 million (3.2%), which is a net increase comprised of increases in management fee of $171.5 million, offset by a decrease in management fees due to the application of new revenue recognition guidance of $107.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The $171.5 million increase in management fees resulted from increased average AUM levels, including the impact of the Guggenheim acquisition, offset by changes in the product mix of AUM. Changes in product mix of AUM result in changes in the average revenue yield derived from AUM due to differing fee rates and structures, which impacts our management fees.

Proportional share of revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from joint venture investments
Management believes that the addition of our proportional share of revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from joint venture arrangements should be added to operating revenues to arrive at net revenues, as it is important to evaluate the contribution to the business that our joint venture arrangements are making. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for additional disclosures regarding the use of net revenues. The company's most significant joint venture arrangement is our 49% investment in Invesco Great Wall Fund Management Company Limited (the “Invesco Great Wall” joint venture).
Our proportional share of revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from joint venture investments increased by $3.7 million (32.2%) to $15.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 (three months ended June 30, 2017: $11.5 million). Our share of the Invesco Great Wall joint venture's average AUM for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $8.8 billion compared to $8.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in our proportional share of revenues, net of third party distribution expenses, from joint venture investments relates primarily to higher management fees in 2018 than in the comparable 2017 period, driven by higher average AUM.
Our proportional share of revenues, net of third-party distribution expenses, from joint venture investments increased by $7.4 million (33.5%) to $29.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (six months ended June 30, 2017: $22.1 million). Our share of the Invesco Great Wall joint venture's average AUM for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $9.3 billion compared to $8.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in our proportional share of revenues, net of third party distribution expenses, from joint venture investments relates primarily to higher management fees in 2018 than in the comparable 2017 period, driven by higher average AUM.
Management, performance and other fees earned from CIP
Management believes that the consolidation of investment products may impact a reader's analysis of our underlying results of operations and could result in investor confusion or the production of information about the company by analysts or external credit rating agencies that is not reflective of the underlying results of operations and financial condition of the company. Accordingly, management believes that it is appropriate to adjust operating revenues for the impact of CIP in calculating net revenues. As management and performance fees earned by Invesco from the consolidated products are eliminated upon consolidation of the investment products, management believes that it is appropriate to add these operating revenues back in the calculation of net revenues. See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Information” for additional disclosures regarding the use of net revenues.
The elimination of management and performance fees earned from CIP was $7.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 (three months ended June 30, 2017: $6.3 million). The increase is due to the increase in management fees earned from CLOs.
The elimination of management and performance fees earned from CIP was $14.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 (six months ended June 30, 2017: $19.5 million). The decrease is due to the decrease in performance fees earned from CLOs.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $11.2 million to $17.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 (six months ended June 30, 2017: $28.2 million). The decrease in equity in earnings is driven by decreases of $13.0 million in earnings from our real estate investments, $3.3 million from private equity investments. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $5.7 million from our joint venture investments in China.
Other gains and losses, net
Other gains and losses, net were a gain of $1.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018. Included in the $1.4 million gain were net realized investment gains of $2.0 million, $1.2 million gains on the depreciation of investments and instruments held for our deferred compensation plans, $1.0 million gains related to to the mark-to-market of foreign exchange put option contracts, gains resulting from the revaluation of intercompany foreign currency denominated loans into the various functional currencies of our subsidiaries and gains related to defined benefit pension plan. These gains were partially offset by net losses during the period of $1.9 million related to the mark-to-market on seed money investments, $0.7 million related to investment impairment charge and $0.2 million related to a change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability. With effect from the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018, all gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of seed money formerly classified as available-for-sale are included in income.
Other gains and losses, net were a gain of $3.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

These gains were partially offset by net losses during the period of $9.2 million related to the mark-to-market of foreign exchange put option contracts intended to provide protection against the impact of a significant decline in the Pound Sterling/U.S. Dollar. Other gains and losses in the three months ended June 30, 2017 also included an investment impairment charge of $3.2 million.
Other gains and losses, net were a loss of $4.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. Included in the $4.0 million loss were net losses of $2.8 million on the depreciation of investments and instruments held for our deferred compensation plans, an investment impairment charge of $3.9 million, $1.6 million related to the mark-to-market on seed money investments, $0.4 million of net losses related to to the mark-to-market of foreign exchange put option contracts and losses resulting from the revaluation of intercompany foreign currency denominated loans into the various functional currencies of our subsidiaries of $0.5 million. These losses were partially offset by $2.4 million of net realized investment gains and $2.2 million of gains related to our defined benefit pension plan.
Other gains and losses, net were a gain of $10.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. The 2017 period included net trading gains of $14.9 million on the appreciation of investments and instruments held for our deferred compensation plans, $9.2 million related to the mark-to-market on our seed money, realized investment gains of $5.4 million, and $1.8 million related to a change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability. These gains were partially offset by net losses during the period of $17.4 million related to the mark-to-market of foreign exchange put option contracts intended to provide protection against the impact of a significant decline in the Pound Sterling/U.S. Dollar and Euro/U.S. Dollar foreign exchange rates and $0.7 million resulting from the revaluation of intercompany foreign currency denominated loans into the various functional currencies of our subsidiaries. Other gains and losses in the six months ended June 30, 2017 also included an investment impairment charge of $3.2 million.
Other income/(expense) of CIP
Other income/(expense) of CIP includes interest and dividend income, interest expense, and other gains/(losses of CIP).
In the three months ended June 30, 2018, interest and dividend income of CIP increased by $17.3 million (34.7%) to $67.2 million (three months ended June 30, 2017: $49.9 million). Interest expense of CIP increased by $1.6 million (3.6%) to $46.4 million (three months ended June 30, 2017: $44.8 million).
In the six months ended June 30, 2018, interest and dividend income of CIP increased by $21.3 million (20.5%) to $125.0 million (six months ended June 30, 2017: $103.7 million. Interest expense of CIP increased by $4.8 million (5.9%) to $85.8 million (six months ended June 30, 2017: $81.0 million).
The increase in interest income and interest expense of CIP in 2018 is primarily due to the impact of newly consolidated CLOs and other funds during 2018, partially offset by the impact of funds deconsolidated during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Included in other gains/(losses) of CIP, net, are realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying investments and debt of CIP. In the three months ended June 30, 2018, other gains and losses of CIP were net losses of $19.9 million as

compared to a net gain of $27.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017. The net losses during the three months ended June 30, 2018 were attributable to market-driven losses of investments held by consolidated funds.
Included in other gains/(losses) of CIP, net, are realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying investments and debt of CIP. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, other gains and losses of CIP were a net loss of $11.1 million as compared to a net gain of $38.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. The net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was attributable to market-driven losses of investments held by consolidated funds.
Net impact of CIP and related noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities
The net impact to net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. in each period primarily represents the changes in the value of the company's holding in its consolidated CLOs, which is reclassified into other gains/(losses) from accumulated other comprehensive income upon consolidation. The consolidation of investment products during the three months ended June 30, 2018 resulted in a net decrease in net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. of $2.2 million (three months ended June 30, 2017: $2.9 million decrease). The consolidation of investment products during the six months ended June 30, 2018 resulted in a net decrease in net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. of $1.6 million (six months ended June 30, 2017: $2.8 million increase). CIP are taxed at the investor level and not at the product level; therefore, there is no tax provision reflected in the net impact of CIP.
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represent the profit or loss amounts attributed to third party investors in CIP. The impact of any gains or losses resulting from valuation changes in the investments of non-CLO CIP attributable to the interests of third parties are offset by resulting changes in gains and losses attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities and therefore do not have a material effect on the financial condition, operating results (including earnings per share), liquidity or capital resources of the company's common shareholders. Similarly, any gains or losses resulting from valuation changes in the investments of CLOs attributable to the interests of third parties are offset by the calculated value of the notes issued by the CLOs (offsetting in other gains/(losses) of CIP) and therefore also do not have a material effect on the financial condition, operating results (including earnings per share), liquidity or capital resources of the company's common shareholders.
Additionally, CIP represent less than 1% of the company's AUM. Therefore, the net gains or losses of CIP are not indicative of the performance of the company's aggregate AUM.
Income Tax Expense
The company's subsidiaries operate in several taxing jurisdictions around the world, each with its own statutory income tax rate. As a result, the blended average statutory tax rate will vary from year to year depending on the mix of the profits and losses of the company's subsidiaries.
Our effective tax rate decreased to 23.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 (three months ended June 30, 2017: 27.1%). The inclusion of income from non-controlling interests in consolidated entities increased our effective tax rate by 0.4% in 2018 and decreased our rate by 0.8% in 2017. 2018 included a 5.3% tax rate decrease as a result of lower Federal tax rates effective January 1, 2018.
Our effective tax rate decreased to 21.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (six months ended June 30, 2017: 26.6%). The inclusion of income from non-controlling interests in consolidated entities decreased our effective tax rate by 0.2% in 2018 and decreased our rate by 0.5% in 2017. 2018 included a 5.2% tax rate reduction as a result of lower Federal tax rates effective January 1, 2018.
Schedule of Non-GAAP Information
We utilize the following non-GAAP performance measures: net revenue (and by calculation, net revenue yield on AUM), adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. and adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS). The company believes the adjusted measures provide valuable insight into the company’s ongoing operational performance and assist in comparisons to its competitors. These measures also assist the company’s management with the establishment of operational budgets and forecasts and assist the Board of Directors and management of the company in determining incentive compensation decisions. 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. Each of these measures is discussed more fully below.

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). 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. Additional reconciling items may be added in the future to these non-GAAP measures if deemed appropriate. The tax effects related to the reconciling items have been calculated based on the tax rate attributable to the jurisdiction to which the transaction relates.

Adjusted diluted EPS is equal to adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. divided by the weighted average number of common and restricted shares outstanding. There is no difference between the calculated earnings per share amounts presented above and the calculated earnings per share amounts under the two class method.
(1)
Proportional share of net revenues and operating income from joint venture investments
The company's two joint venture investments in China are proportionately consolidated in the company's non-GAAP measures. Enhancing our operations in China is one effort that we believe could improve our competitive position over time. Accordingly, we believe that it is appropriate to evaluate the contribution of our joint venture investments to the operations of the business.
(2)
Third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses
Third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses include renewal commissions and distribution costs (12b-1 and marketing support) paid to brokers and independent financial advisors, and other service and administrative fees paid to third parties. While the terms used for these types of expenses vary by geography, they are all expense items that are closely linked to the value of AUM and the revenue earned by Invesco from AUM. Since the company has been deemed to be the principal in the third-party arrangements, the company must reflect these expenses gross of operating revenues under U.S. GAAP.
Management believes that the deduction of third-party distribution, service and advisory expenses from operating revenues appropriately reflects the nature of these expenses as being passed through to external parties who perform functions on behalf of, and distribute, the company’s managed funds. Further, these expenses vary extensively by geography due to the differences in distribution channels. The net presentation assists in identifying the revenue contribution generated by the business, removing distortions caused by the differing distribution channel fees and allowing for a fair comparison with U.S. peer investment managers and within Invesco’s own investment units. Additionally, management evaluates net revenue yield on AUM, which is equal to net revenues divided by average AUM during the reporting period. This financial measure is an indicator of the basis point net revenues we receive for each dollar of AUM we manage and is useful when evaluating the company’s performance relative to industry competitors and within the company for capital allocation purposes.

CIP
See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 12 - “Consolidated Investment Products” for a detailed analysis of the impact to the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the consolidation of CIP. The reconciling items add back the management and performance fees earned by Invesco from the consolidated products and remove the revenues and expenses recorded by the consolidated products that have been included in the U.S. GAAP Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Table of Contents    
    

                                    

Management believes that the consolidation of investment products may impact a reader's analysis of our underlying results of operations and could result in investor confusion or the production of information about the company by analysts or external credit rating agencies that is not reflective of the underlying results of operations and financial condition of the company. Accordingly, management believes that it is appropriate to adjust operating revenues, operating income and net income for the impact of CIP in calculating the respective net revenues, adjusted operating income and adjusted net income.

(4)    Business combinations
Business combination related adjustments are comprised of amounts incurred by the company in connection with business combinations. Management believes it is useful to investors and other users of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to adjust for these items in arriving at adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted EPS. Business combination related adjustments include: transaction and integration charges, the reversal of business combination-related deferred tax liabilities recorded under U.S. GAAP, currency gains recognized on revaluation of foreign currencies held in anticipation of payment for acquisition and other acquisition/disposition related adjustments. By adjusting for these items, this will aid comparability of our results period to period, and aid comparability with peer companies that may not have similar acquisition and disposition related income or charges.

a.
Intangible amortization expense is associated with intangible assets that are identified from acquisition of a business and are amortized on a straight-line basis over useful lives.
b.
Employee compensation expenses are related to previous acquisitions.
c.
Transaction and integration expenses reflect the legal, regulatory, advisory, valuation, integration-related employee incentive awards, other professional or consulting fees and general and administrative costs, which includes travel costs related to transactions and the costs of temporary staff involved in executing the transaction, and the post-closing costs of integrating the acquired business into the company’s existing operations, including incremental costs associated with achieving synergy savings.
d.
During 2015, the company acquired investment management contracts from Deutsche Bank and the purchase price was solely comprised of contingent consideration payable in future periods. Adjustment represents the change in the fair value of contingent consideration liability.
e.
While finite-lived intangible assets are amortized under U.S. GAAP, there is no amortization charge on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. In certain qualifying situations, these can be amortized for tax purposes, generally over a 15-year period, as is the case in the U.S. These deferred tax liabilities represent tax benefits that are not included in the Consolidated Statements of Income absent an impairment charge or the disposal of the related business. The company receives these tax benefits but does not anticipate a sale or impairment of these assets in the foreseeable future, and therefore the deferred tax liabilities recognized under U.S. GAAP are not expected to be used either through a credit in the Consolidated Statements of Income or through settlement of tax obligations.

Market movement on deferred compensation plan liabilities
Certain deferred compensation plan awards involve a return to the employee linked to the appreciation (depreciation) of specified investments, typically the funds managed by the employee. Invesco hedges economically the exposure to market movements.
Since these plans are hedged economically, management believes it is useful to reflect the offset ultimately achieved from hedging the investment market exposure in the calculation of adjusted operating income (and by calculation, adjusted operating margin) and adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. (and by calculation, adjusted diluted EPS), to produce results that will be more comparable period to period.

business, which resulted in expenses of $19.7 million related to accelerated vesting of deferred compensation and other separation costs. The number of senior executive retirements and magnitude of their retirement costs incurred in one quarter was unprecedented for Invesco. The company deemed it appropriate to adjust these costs from U.S. GAAP total compensation expenses in an effort to isolate and evaluate our level of ongoing compensation expenses and to allow for more appropriate comparisons to internal metrics and with the level of compensation expenses incurred by industry peers. 
(c)
Included within other gains and losses, net is the mark-to-market of foreign exchange put option contracts intended to provide protection against the impact of a significant decline in the Pound Sterling/U.S. Dollar and the Euro/U.S. Dollar foreign exchange rates. The Pound Sterling contracts provide coverage through June 28, 2019 and the Euro contracts provided coverage through December 27, 2017. The adjustment from U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP earnings removes the impact of market volatility; therefore, the company's non-GAAP results include only the amortization of the cost of the contracts during the contract period.

Unsettled fund receivables and payables
Unsettled fund receivables increased by $159.9 million from $793.8 million at December 31, 2017 to $953.7 million at June 30, 2018, due primarily to higher transaction activity between funds and investors in late June 2018 when compared to late December 2017 in our U.K. and cross-border funds, offset by lower UIT activity. In our U.K. and cross-border operations, unsettled fund receivables are created by the normal settlement periods on transactions initiated by certain clients. In the company's capacity as sponsor of UITs, the company records receivables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations for unsettled sell trades of securities and UITs in addition to receivables from customers for unsettled sell trades of UITs. The presentation of the unsettled fund receivables and substantially offsetting payables ($934.3 million at June 30, 2018 up from $783.8 million at December 31, 2017) at trade date reflects the legal relationship between the underlying investor and the company.
Investments
As of June 30, 2018, we had $732.8 million in total investments (December 31, 2017: $674.6 million). Included in investments are $274.3 million of seed money investments in affiliated funds used to seed funds as we launch new products, and $93.6 million of investments related to assets held for deferred compensation plans, which are also held primarily in affiliated funds. Seed investments increased by a net $31.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in the period reflects purchases of $52.9 million and a non-cash increase of $3.3 million due to the deconsolidation of certain CIP in the period (restoring the company's formerly eliminated investment balances). The increases in the period were partially offset by redemptions of $22.7 million as well as decrease of $2.2 million driven by market valuation changes and foreign exchange movements. Investments related to deferred compensation awards increased by a net $1.3 million during the period, primarily due to net purchases of $19.4 million partially offset by dispositions of $16.9 million as well as a decrease of $1.2 million driven by changes in foreign exchange rates and negative market movement.
Included in investments are $315.2 million in equity method investments in our Chinese joint venture and in certain of the company’s private equity partnerships, real estate partnerships and other co-investments (December 31, 2017: $277.3 million). The increase of $37.9 million in equity method investments was driven by an increase in purchases of $33.3 million and $17.1 million in current period earnings. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $12.7 million resulting from the consolidation of certain investments, capital returns and decreases due changes in foreign exchange rates.
Assets held for policyholders and policyholder payables
One of our subsidiaries, Invesco Perpetual Life Limited, is an insurance company that was established to facilitate retirement savings plans in the U.K. The entity holds assets that are managed for its clients on its balance sheet with an equal and offsetting liability. The decrease in the balance of these accounts from $12,444.5 million at December 31, 2017 to $12,199.6 million at June 30, 2018 was the result of negative foreign exchange rate movements of $298.5 million and net business outflows of $56.5 million, offset by positive market movement of $110.1 million.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets increased from $1,558.7 million at December 31, 2017, to $2,174.0 million at June 30, 2018. The increase includes $633.3 million related to the preliminary purchase price allocation to intangible assets from the Guggenheim Investments' ETF and Intelliflo acquisitions in 2018, offset by amortization of $9.6 million and decreases in foreign exchange movement of $8.4 million.
Goodwill
Goodwill increased from $6,590.7 million at December 31, 2017, to $7,292.0 million at June 30, 2018. The increase includes $834.3 million related to the preliminary purchase price allocation to goodwill from the Guggenheim Investments' ETF and Intelliflo acquisitions in 2018 offset by a decrease in foreign exchange movements of $133.0 million. The company's annual goodwill impairment review is performed as of October 1 of each year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our capital structure, together with available cash balances, cash flows generated from operations, existing capacity under our credit facility and further capital market activities, if necessary, should provide us with sufficient resources to meet present and future cash needs, including operating, debt and other obligations as they come due and anticipated future capital requirements.
Our capital management priorities have evolved with the growth and success of our business and include:
reinvestment in the business;
moderate annual growth of dividends (as further discussed in the "Dividends" section below);
share repurchase; and
target an approximate $1 billion cash buffer in excess of European regulatory and liquidity requirements.
These priorities are executed in a manner consistent with our desire to maintain strong, investment grade credit ratings.  As of the filing of the Report, Invesco held credit ratings of A/Negative, A2/Stable and A-/Positive from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“S&P”), Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), respectively. Our ability to continue to access the capital markets in a timely manner depends on a number of factors, including our credit ratings, the condition of the global economy, investors’ willingness to purchase our securities, interest rates, credit spreads and the valuation levels of equity markets. If we are unable to access capital markets in a timely manner, our business could be adversely impacted.

On April 6, 2018, the company completed its previously announced acquisition of Guggenheim Investments' ETF business for a purchase price of $1.2 billion. To fund the purchase, the company borrowed approximately $835 million on its credit facility in early April 2018. In addition, the company also borrowed on the credit facility to fund part of the Intelliflo acquisition. The company plans to repay a significant portion of amounts borrowed over the course of 2018, returning leverage ratios at or near pre-acquisition levels, through the curtailment of open market share repurchases. As such, the company has not repurchased common shares in the open market to date in 2018.

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act, was signed into law. The 2017 Tax Act, among other items, reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Our intention is to use the additional cash flow generated from the lower tax rate first to reduce the outstanding balance on the credit facility resulting from recent acquisitions. After the credit facility balance is reduced, any residual excess will follow our capital management priorities.

Certain of our subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum levels of capital. Such requirements may change from time-to-time as additional guidance is released based on a variety of factors, including balance sheet composition, assessment of risk exposures and governance, and review from regulators. These and other similar provisions of applicable laws and regulations may have the effect of limiting withdrawals of capital, repayment of intercompany loans and payment of dividends by such entities. All of our regulated EU subsidiaries are subject to consolidated capital requirements under EU Directives, including those arising from the EU's Capital Requirements Directive and the U.K.'s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), and capital is maintained within this sub-group to satisfy these regulations. We meet these requirements in part by holding cash and cash equivalents. This retained cash can be used for general business purposes in the European sub-group in the countries where it is located. Due to the capital restrictions, the ability to transfer cash between certain jurisdictions may be limited. In addition, transfers of cash between international jurisdictions may have adverse tax consequences. We are in compliance with all regulatory minimum net capital requirements. As of June 30, 2018, the company's minimum regulatory capital requirement was $776.7 million (December 31, 2017: $761.4 million); the increase was driven primarily by increased business activity offset by the weakening of the Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar. The total amount of non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents was $1,331.4 million at June 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $1,595.6 million).
In addition, the company is required to hold cash deposits with clearing organizations or to otherwise segregate cash to maintain compliance with federal and other regulations in connection with its UIT broker dealer entity. At June 30, 2018, these cash deposits totaled $11.4 million (December 31, 2017: $11.4 million).
The consolidation of $6.4 billion and $5.0 billion of assets and long-term debt of CIP as of June 30, 2018, respectively, did not impact the company’s liquidity and capital resources. The company's risk with respect to each investment in CIP is limited to its equity ownership and any uncollected management and performance fees. The majority of CIP balances related to consolidated CLOs. The collateral assets of the CLOs are held solely to satisfy the obligations of the CLOs. The company has no right to the benefits from, nor does it bear the risks associated with, the collateral assets held by the CLOs, beyond the company’s minimal direct investments in, and management and performance fees generated from, these products, which are eliminated upon consolidation. If the company were to liquidate, the collateral assets would not be available to the general creditors of the company, and as a result, the company does not consider them to be company assets. Likewise, if the CLOs

66

were to liquidate, their investors would have no recourse to the general credit of the company. The company therefore does not consider this debt to be an obligation of the company. See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 12, “Consolidated Investment Products,” for additional details.

Cash Flows Discussion
The ability to consistently generate cash flow from operations in excess of dividend payments, share repurchases, capital expenditures, and ongoing operating expenses is one of our company's fundamental financial strengths. Operations continue to be financed from current earnings and borrowings. Our principal uses of cash, other than for operating expenses, include dividend payments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, purchase of our shares in the open market and investments in certain new investment products.
The following table represents a reconciliation of the cash flow information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis to the cash flow information, excluding the impact of the cash flows of Consolidated Investment Products for the reasons outlined in footnote 1 to the table:

These tables include non-GAAP presentations.  Cash held by CIP is not available for use by Invesco.  Additionally, there is no recourse to Invesco for CIP debt.  The cash flows of CIP do not form part of the company’s cash flow management processes, nor do they form part of the company’s significant liquidity evaluations and decisions. Policyholder assets and liabilities are equal and offsetting and have no impact on Invesco’s shareholder’s equity.  The impact of cash inflows/outflows from policyholder assets and liabilities are reflected within cash flows from operating activities as changes in receivable and/or payables, as applicable.
Operating Activities
Operating cash flows include the receipt of investment management and other fees generated from AUM, offset by operating expenses and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Although some receipts and payments are seasonal, particularly bonus payments which are paid out during the first quarter, in general, after allowing for the change in cash held by CIP, and investment activities, our operating cash flows move in the same direction as our operating income.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash provided by operating activities was $396.8 million compared to $383.2 million provided during the six months ended June 30, 2017 (an increase of $13.6 million). As shown in the tables above, the impact of CIP to cash used in operating activities was $41.4 million of cash used during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $197.9 million of cash used during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Excluding the impact of CIP, cash provided by operations was $438.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $581.1 million of cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Cash provided by operations in the 2017 period included $161.0 million of dispositions of investments, including seed money and deferred compensation investments sold in connection with the entry into the total return swap.
There were no significant non-cash items that impacted the comparison between the periods of operating income to net cash provided by operations.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1,817.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (six months ended June 30, 2017: net cash generated of $59.7 million). As shown in the tables above, the impact of CIP on investing activities, including investment purchases, sales and returns of capital, was $289.2 million used (six months ended June 30, 2017: $51.9 million contributed). Excluding the impact of CIP cash flows, net cash used in investing activities was $1,528.3 million (six months ended June 30, 2017: net cash provided of $7.8 million).
Cash outflows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 included $1,469.3 million related to business acquisitions. Also included in cash outflows for the six months ended June 30, 2018, excluding the impact of CIP, were purchases of investments of $117.9 million (six months ended June 30, 2017: $149.4 million). These outflows were partially offset by collected proceeds of $105.1 million from sales and returns of capital of investments (six months ended June 30, 2017: $217.1 million).
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the company had capital expenditures of $46.2 million (six months ended June 30, 2017: $59.9 million). Our capital expenditures related principally in each period to technology initiatives, including enhancements to platforms from which we maintain our portfolio management systems, improvements in computer hardware and software desktop products for employees, new telecommunications products to enhance our internal information flow, and back-up business recovery systems. Also, in each period, a portion of these costs related to improvements made to the various buildings and workspaces used in our offices. These projects have been funded with proceeds from our operating cash flows.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $794.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (six months ended June 30, 2017: net cash used of $587.9 million). As shown in the tables above, the impact of CIP on financing activities provided cash of $214.0 million (six months ended June 30, 2017: cash used of $261.0 million). Excluding the impact of CIP, financing activities provided cash of $580.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 (six months ended June 30, 2017: cash used of $326.9 million).
Financing cash inflows during the six months ended June 30, 2018 included a borrowing of $878.9 million on the credit facility (six months ended June 30, 2017: repayment of $28.7 million). Financing cash outflows during the six months ended June 30, 2018 included $244.0 million of dividend payments for the dividends declared in January and April (six months ended June 30, 2017: dividends paid of $233.7 million ), the payment of $46.9 million to meet employees' withholding tax obligations on share vestings (six months ended June 30, 2017: $57.3 million) and a payment of $7.1 million of contingent consideration (six months ended June 30, 2017: $7.2 million).
There were no non-CIP related financing cash inflows for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Dividends
Invesco declares and pays dividends on a quarterly basis in arrears. On July 26, 2018, the company announced a second quarter 2018 cash dividend of 30.0 cents per share to holders of common shares, which will be paid on September 4, 2018, to shareholders of record as of August 16, 2018 with an ex-dividend date of August 15, 2018.
The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be declared by our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, financial condition and capital requirements at the time such declaration and payment are considered. The board has a policy of managing dividends in a prudent fashion, with due consideration given to profit levels, overall debt levels, and historical dividend payouts.
Share Repurchase Plan
The company did not purchase shares in the open market during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, (three and six months ended June 30, 2017: none). The company did withhold an aggregate of 0.1 million shares and 1.5 million shares on vesting events during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively to meet employees' withholding tax obligations (three and six months ended June 30, 2017: 0.1 million and 1.7 million shares, respectively). The fair value of these shares withheld at the respective withholding dates was $7.6 million and $46.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 (three and six months ended June 30, 2017: $3.1 million and $57.3 million). At June 30, 2018, approximately $1,643.0 million remains available under the share repurchase authorizations approved by the Board on October 11, 2013 and July 22, 2016.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the company's weighted average cost of debt was 3.84% (six months ended June 30, 2017: 3.93%).
The company's $1.5 billion unsecured credit facility is scheduled to expire on August 11, 2022. Financial covenants under the credit agreement include: (i) the quarterly maintenance of a debt/EBITDA leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, of not greater than 3.25:1.00, (ii) a coverage ratio (EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement/interest payable for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended before the date of determination) of not less than 4.00:1.00. As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with our financial covenants. At June 30, 2018, our leverage ratio was 1.62 :1.00 (December 31, 2017: 1.18:1.00), and our interest coverage ratio was 18.29:1.00 (December 31, 2017: 18.64:1.00).

Adjustments for unrealized gains and losses from investments, as defined in our credit facility, may also include non-cash gains and losses on investments to the extent that they do not represent anticipated future cash receipts or expenditures.

EBITDA and Adjusted debt are non-GAAP financial measures; however management does not use these measures for anything other than these debt covenant calculations. The calculation of EBITDA above (a reconciliation from net income attributable to Invesco Ltd.) is defined by our credit agreement, and therefore net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. is the most appropriate GAAP measure from which to reconcile to EBITDA. The calculation of Adjusted debt is defined in our credit facility and equals total debt of $2,955.8 million plus $9.9 million in letters of credit.
Credit and Liquidity Risk
Capital management involves the management of the company's liquidity and cash flows. The company manages its capital by reviewing annual and projected cash flow forecasts and by monitoring credit, liquidity and market risks, such as interest rate and foreign currency risks (as discussed in Part I, Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”), through measurement and analysis. The company is primarily exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalent deposits, which are held by external firms. The company invests its cash balances in its own institutional money market products, as well as with external high credit-quality financial institutions. These arrangements create exposure to concentrations of credit risk.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. All cash and cash equivalent balances are subject to credit risk, as they represent deposits made by the company with external banks and other institutions. As of June 30, 2018, our maximum exposure to credit risk related to our cash and cash equivalent balances is $1,480.5 million. See Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 13, “Related Parties,” for information regarding cash and cash equivalents invested in affiliated money market funds.
The company does not utilize credit derivatives or similar instruments to mitigate the maximum exposure to credit risk. The company does not expect any counterparties to its financial instruments to fail to meet their obligations.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The company is exposed to liquidity risk through its $2,955.8 million in long-term debt. The company actively manages liquidity risk by preparing cash flow forecasts for future periods, reviewing them regularly with senior management, maintaining a committed credit facility, scheduling significant gaps between major debt maturities and engaging external financing sources in regular dialogue.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation can impact our organization primarily in two ways. First, inflationary pressures can result in increases in our cost structure, especially to the extent that large expense components such as compensation are impacted. To the degree that these expense increases are not recoverable or cannot be counterbalanced through pricing increases due to the competitive environment, our profitability could be negatively impacted. Secondly, the value of the assets that we manage may be negatively impacted when inflationary expectations result in a rising interest rate environment. Declines in the values of these AUM could lead to reduced revenues as management fees are generally calculated based upon the size of AUM.
Off Balance Sheet Commitments
See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies - Off Balance Sheet Commitments,” for more information regarding undrawn capital commitments.
Contractual Obligations
We have future obligations under various contracts relating to debt and interest payments, financing and operating leases, long-term defined benefit pension and acquisition contracts. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were no material changes to the company's contractual obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Critical accounting policies are those that require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and would therefore be deemed the most critical to an understanding of our results of operations and financial condition.
Recent Accounting Standards
See Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Note 1, “Accounting Policies - Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements.”

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of its business, the company is primarily exposed to market risk in the form of AUM market price risk, securities market risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk. There have not been any material changes to the company's exposures to market risks during the period ended June 30, 2018 that would require an update to the disclosures provided in the most recent Form 10-K.
AUM Market Price Risk
The company's investment management revenues are comprised of fees based on the value of AUM. Declines in the market prices of equity and fixed income securities, commodities and derivatives, or other similar financial instruments held in client portfolios could cause revenues to decline because of lower investment management fees by:
Causing the value of AUM to decrease.
Causing the returns realized on AUM to decrease (impacting performance fees).
Causing clients to withdraw funds in favor of investments in markets that they perceive to offer greater opportunity and that the company does not serve.
Causing clients to rebalance assets away from investments that the company manages into investments that the company does not manage.
Causing clients to reallocate assets away from products that earn higher revenues into products that earn lower revenues.

Underperformance of client accounts relative to competing products could exacerbate these factors.
Securities Market Risk
The company has investments in managed investment products that invest in a variety of asset classes. Investments are generally made to establish a track record for a new fund or investment vehicle or to hedge economically exposure to certain deferred compensation plans. The company's exposure to market risk from financial instruments measured at fair value arises from its investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk relates to the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its external debt and cash and cash equivalent investments. On June 30, 2018, the interest rates on 70.3% of the company's borrowings were fixed for a weighted average period of 9.5 years, and the company had a $878.9 million balance on its floating rate credit facility.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
The company has certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets and results of operations are exposed to foreign currency translation risk when translated into U.S. Dollars upon consolidation into Invesco Ltd. During the second quarter the company has extended its hedge of approximately 75% of the Pound Sterling-based operating income through June 28, 2019. These put option contracts are set at a strike level of $1.250 based on the average daily foreign exchange rates for the applicable time period.
The company is exposed to foreign exchange revaluation into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on monetary assets and liabilities that are held by subsidiaries in different functional currencies than the subsidiaries' functional currencies. Net foreign exchange revaluation gains were $3.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 (six months ended June 30, 2017: $0.3 million gains), and are included in general and administrative expenses and other gains and losses, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We continue to monitor our exposure to foreign exchange revaluation and have put in place net investment hedge structures discussed in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 6 -- "Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)."

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information the company is required to disclose in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have evaluated any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and have concluded that there was no change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
