    Notes

    (1)Earnings per share (diluted) adjusts for the dilutive effect of the potential issuance of incremental shares of our common stock.
      
     We assume the settlement of all of our Redeemable non-controlling interests using the maximum number of shares permitted under our arrangements. The issuance of shares and the related income acquired are excluded from the calculation if an assumed purchase of Redeemable non-controlling interests would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.
      
     We are required to apply the if-converted method to our outstanding junior convertible securities when calculating Earnings per share (diluted). Under the if-converted method, shares that are issuable upon conversion are deemed outstanding, regardless of whether the securities are contractually convertible into our common stock at that time. For this calculation, the interest expense (net of tax) attributable to these dilutive securities is added back to Net income (controlling interest), reflecting the assumption that the securities have been converted. Issuable shares for these securities and related interest expense are excluded from the calculation if an assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.
      
     The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

    (2)As supplemental information, we provide non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest), Economic net income (controlling interest), and Economic earnings per share. Management utilizes these non-GAAP performance measures to assess our performance before our share of certain non-cash expenses and to improve comparability between periods. In the first quarter of 2023, we updated the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) and Economic net income (controlling interest) to reflect AMG’s strategic evolution, including our increased allocation of capital toward private markets and liquid alternatives. To align with the economic impact of these capital allocation decisions, the updated definitions of Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) and Economic net income (controlling interest): (i) include only the realized economic gains and losses on seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments and (ii) exclude any unrealized gains and losses on strategic investments (consistent with the existing treatment of seed capital and general partner commitments). We have retroactively applied this definition change to prior periods. The following table presents the impact on the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022:


       Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
     (in millions, except per share data) 9/30/2022 9/30/2022
     Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) - As reported $221.2  $676.1 
     Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) - Prior definition  220.4   689.1 
     Change $0.8  $(13.0)
     % Change  0.4%  (1.9)%
          
     Economic net income (controlling interest) - As reported $167.0  $507.1 
     Economic net income (controlling interest) - Prior definition  166.4   516.9 
     Change $0.6  $(9.8)
     % Change  0.4%  (1.9)%
          
     Economic earnings per share - As reported $4.23  $12.61 
     Economic earnings per share - Prior definition  4.21   12.85 
     Change $0.02  $(0.24)
     % Change  0.5%  (1.9)%
              


     Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) represents our performance before our share of interest expense, income and certain non-income based taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments, gains and losses related to the Veritable and BPEA Transactions, and non-cash items such as certain Affiliate equity activity, gains and losses on our contingent payment obligations, and unrealized gains and losses on seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments. Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) is also adjusted to include realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments. We believe that many investors use this non-GAAP measure when assessing the financial performance of companies in the investment management industry.
      
     Under our Economic net income (controlling interest) definition, we adjust Net income (controlling interest) for our share of pre-tax intangible amortization and impairments (including the portion attributable to equity method investments in Affiliates), deferred taxes related to intangible assets, gains and losses related to the Veritable and BPEA Transactions, net of tax, and other economic items which include gains and losses related to contingent payment obligations, tax windfalls and shortfalls from share-based compensation, certain Affiliate equity activity, unrealized gains and losses on seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments, and realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments. Economic net income (controlling interest) is used by management and our Board of Directors as our principal performance benchmark, including as one of the measures for aligning executive compensation with stockholder value.
      
     Economic earnings per share represents Economic net income (controlling interest) divided by the Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted). In this calculation, we exclude the potential shares issued upon settlement of Redeemable non-controlling interests from Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted) because we intend to settle those obligations without issuing shares, consistent with all prior Affiliate equity purchase transactions. The potential share issuance in connection with our junior convertible securities is measured using a “treasury stock” method. Under this method, only the net number of shares of common stock equal to the value of the junior convertible securities in excess of par, if any, are deemed to be outstanding. We believe the inclusion of net shares under a treasury stock method best reflects the benefit of the increase in available capital resources (which could be used to repurchase shares of our common stock) that occurs when these securities are converted and we are relieved of our debt obligation.
      
     The following table provides a reconciliation of Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted):


       Three Months Ended  Nine Months Ended
     (in millions) 9/30/2022 9/30/2023 9/30/2022 9/30/2023
     Average shares outstanding (diluted) 43.5  43.4  47.8  42.9 
     Hypothetical issuance of shares to settle Redeemable non-controlling interests (2.3) (5.1) (5.7) (3.9)
     Junior convertible securities (1.7) (1.7) (1.9) (1.7)
     Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted) 39.5  36.6  40.2  37.3 


     These non-GAAP performance measures are provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Net income (controlling interest), Earnings per share, or other GAAP performance measures. For additional information on our non-GAAP measures, see our most recent Annual and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q, respectively, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
