Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Eaton Vance Corp. (the Company) include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As a result, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2018.

Adoption of new accounting standards

The Company adopted the following accounting standards as of November 1, 2018:

•

Revenue recognition – Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

•

Financial instruments – ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities

•

Statement of cash flows – ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

•

Statement of cash flows – ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash

Revenue recognition

This guidance seeks to improve comparability by providing a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance also changes the accounting for certain contract costs and revises the criteria for determining if an entity is acting as a principal or agent in certain arrangements. The Company adopted the new revenue recognition guidance using a full retrospective approach.

The adoption of this guidance did not result in any significant changes to the timing of recognition and measurement of revenue or recognition of costs incurred to obtain and fulfill revenue contracts; however, the presentation of certain revenue and expense balances was affected. Notably, fund subsidies of $6.0 and $11.7 million previously included as a component of fund-related expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, respectively, are now presented as a contra-revenue component of management fees. Separately, in applying the revised principal-versus-agent guidance to the Company’s various distribution contracts for certain classes of shares in sponsored funds with a front-end load commission pricing structure, the entire front-end load commission (including both the underwriting commission retained by the Company and the sales charge paid to the selling broker-dealer) is now presented gross within distribution and underwriting fee revenue and the sales charge paid to the selling broker-dealer is now presented within distribution expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, only the underwriting commission retained by the Company was presented within distribution and underwriting fee revenue as the sales charge paid to the selling broker-dealer was recorded net. Accordingly, distribution and underwriter fees and

distribution expense increased by approximately $4.4 million and $8.9 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, respectively, as a result of this change. Lastly, contingent deferred sales charges received, which were previously recorded as a reduction of deferred sales commission assets, are now being recorded as revenue within the distribution and underwriting fees line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following tables present the effect of the changes in presentation made to prior periods which are attributable to the retrospective adoption of ASU 2014-09:

Financial instruments – recognition and measurement

This guidance requires substantially all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) with a readily determinable fair value to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The standard effectively eliminates the ability, at acquisition, to classify an equity investment as available-for-sale with holding gains and losses presented in other comprehensive income until realized. The Company adopted this provision of the new ASU using a modified retrospective approach.

The Company held $10.3 million of available-for-sale equity investments in unconsolidated sponsored funds at October 31, 2018. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a $3.7 million cumulative effect adjustment (increase), net of related income tax effects, to reclassify unrealized holding gains attributable to these investments previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings. Prior period investments in unconsolidated sponsored mutual funds and private open-end funds previously classified as trading and available-for-sale are now referred to as “equity securities” within the notes to the financial statements; the prior period treatment of gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of these investments was retained.

The standard also provides for an election to measure certain investments without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer (the cost method). The Company adopted this provision of the ASU using a prospective approach.

Statement of cash flows – classification

This standard clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified and presented on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 using a retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not result in any changes to the classification of prior period activity on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Statement of cash flows – restricted cash

This standard requires the inclusion of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents (restricted cash) with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending amounts on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Restricted cash includes cash held by consolidated sponsored funds and consolidated collateralized loan obligation (CLO) entities. The Company adopted this new guidance using a retrospective approach. Accordingly, net changes in restricted cash of $3.2 million are no longer presented as a component of the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended April 30, 2018. A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash for all balance sheet periods presented is included in Note 2.

In addition to the standards described above, the Company also early adopted the portion of ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, related to the removal of certain fair value disclosure requirements. The fair value disclosures required to be added under this new guidance will be effective for the fiscal year that begins on November 1, 2020.

Where applicable, the Company’s significant accounting policies provided below have been updated to reflect the adoption of these new accounting standards as of November 1, 2018.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash includes cash collateral required for margin accounts established to support derivative positions and other segregated cash to comply with certain regulatory requirements. Such derivatives are used to hedge certain investments in consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts seeded for business development purposes (consolidated seed investments). Cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated sponsored funds and consolidated CLO entities are not available to the Company for its general operations and also represent restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.

Investments

Debt securities held at fair value

Debt securities held at fair value consist of short-term debt securities held directly by the Company comprised of certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate debt obligations with original (remaining) maturities to the Company ranging from three months to 12 months, as determined upon the purchase of each security, as well as investments in debt securities held in portfolios of consolidated sponsored mutual funds and private open-end funds (sponsored funds) and separately managed accounts. Debt securities are measured at fair value with net realized and unrealized holding gains or losses, and interest and dividend income reflected as a component of gains (losses) and other investment income, net, on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The specific identified cost method is used to determine the realized gains or losses on all debt securities sold.

Equity securities held at fair value

Equity securities primarily consist of domestic and foreign equity securities held in portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts and investments in non-consolidated sponsored or other funds. Equity securities and investments in non-consolidated sponsored or other mutual funds with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices and published net asset values per share, respectively. Investments in non-consolidated sponsored private open-end funds without readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value based on the net asset value per share (or equivalent) of the investment as a practical expedient.

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer (the cost method). Investments held at cost are qualitatively evaluated for impairment each reporting period. If that qualitative assessment indicates that the investment held at cost is impaired, the fair value of the investment is estimated and an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the fair value of the investment and its carrying amount. The cost method is no longer applied if the equity security subsequently has a readily determinable fair value or the Company irrevocably elects to measure the equity security at fair value.

Net realized and unrealized holding gains or losses on equity securities, any observable price changes and/or impairment losses attributable to investments held at cost, and dividend income are all reflected within gains (losses) and other investment income, net, on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The specific identified cost method is used to determine the realized gains or losses on all equity securities sold.

Investments in non-consolidated CLO entities

Investments in non-consolidated CLO entities are carried at amortized cost unless impaired. The excess of actual and anticipated future cash flows over the initial investment at the date of purchase is recognized in gains (losses) and other investment income, net, over the life of the investment using the effective yield method. The Company reviews cash flow estimates throughout the life of each non-consolidated CLO entity. If the updated estimate of future cash flows (taking into account both timing and amounts) is less than the last estimate, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value.

Investments in equity method investees

Investments in non-controlled affiliates in which the Company’s ownership ranges from 20 to 50 percent, or in instances in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the investee’s underlying net income or loss is recorded as equity in net income of affiliates, net of tax. Distributions received from investees reduce the Company’s investment balance and are classified as cash flows either from operating activities or investing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as determined using the cumulative earnings method. Investments in equity method investees are evaluated for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their respective fair values, additional impairment tests are performed to measure the amounts of the impairment losses, if any.

Deferred sales commissions

Sales commissions paid to broker-dealers in connection with the sale of certain classes of shares of sponsored funds are generally deferred and amortized over the period during which redemptions by the purchasing shareholder are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, which does not exceed five years from purchase. Distribution fees and contingent deferred sales charges received from these funds are recorded in revenue as earned. Should the Company lose its ability to recover such sales commissions through earning distribution fees, the value of its deferred sales commission asset would immediately decline, as would related future cash flows.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its deferred sales commission asset for impairment on a quarterly basis. In its impairment analysis, the Company compares the carrying value of the deferred sales commission asset to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset in the form of distribution fees over its remaining useful life to determine whether impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the asset is written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows. Impairment adjustments are recognized in operating income as a component of amortization of deferred sales commissions.

Revenue recognition

The Company primarily earns revenue from providing asset management services, distribution and underwriter services and shareholder services to its sponsored fund and separate account customers through various forms of contracts. Revenue is recognized for each distinct performance obligation identified in its contracts with customers when the performance obligation has been satisfied by transferring services to a customer either over time or at a point in time (which is when the customer obtains control of the service). Revenue is recognized in the amount of variable or fixed consideration allocated to the satisfied performance obligation that the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring such services to a customer (the transaction price). Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only when it is probable that a significant reversal of such revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved (the constraint). The majority of the fees earned from providing asset management, distribution and shareholder services represent variable consideration as the revenue is largely dependent on the total value and composition of assets under management. The total value of assets under management fluctuate with the financial markets. These fees are constrained and excluded from the transaction price until the asset values on which our customer is billed are calculated and the value of consideration is measurable and no longer subject to financial market volatility.

The timing of when the Company bills its customers and related payment terms vary in accordance with the agreed-upon contractual terms. A majority of the Company’s clients are billed after the service is performed, which results in the recording of accounts receivable and accrued revenue. Deferred revenue is recorded in instances where a client is billed in advance.

Management fees

The Company is entitled to receive management fees in exchange for asset management services provided to sponsored funds and separate accounts established for retail clients (either directly or indirectly through various third-party financial intermediaries that sponsor various active asset management and model-based active asset management investment programs), high net worth clients and institutional clients. Management fees from sponsored funds are calculated principally as a percentage of average daily

net assets, are earned daily upon completion of investment advisory and administrative service performance obligations, and are typically paid monthly from the assets of the fund. Management fees from separate accounts are calculated as a percentage of either beginning, average or ending monthly or quarterly net assets, are earned daily, and are typically paid either monthly or quarterly from the assets of the separate account. Performance fees are generated on certain fund and separate account management contracts when specific performance hurdles are met during the performance period.

The Company may waive certain fees for asset management services provided to sponsored funds at its discretion. Separately, the Company may subsidize certain share classes of sponsored funds to ensure that operating expenses attributable to such share classes do not exceed a specified percentage. Fee waivers and fund subsidies are recognized as a reduction to management fee revenue.

Distribution and underwriter fees

The Company is entitled to receive distribution fees and underwriter commissions in exchange for distribution services provided to sponsored funds. Distribution services consist of distinct sales and marketing activities that are earned upon the sale of sponsored fund shares. Distribution fees for all share classes subject to these fees are calculated as a percentage of average daily net assets, and are typically paid monthly from the assets of the fund.

Underwriting commissions for all share classes subject to these fees are calculated as a percentage of the amount invested and are deducted from the amount invested by the fund shareholder. These commissions represent fixed consideration and are recognized as revenue when the sponsored fund shares are sold to the shareholder. Underwriter commissions are waived or reduced on purchases of shares that exceed specified minimum amounts.

Service fees

The Company is entitled to receive service fees in exchange for shareholder services provided to sponsored funds. Shareholder services are comprised of a series of distinct incremental days of shareholder transaction processing and/or shareholder account maintenance services. Service fees are calculated as a percentage of average daily net assets under management, are earned daily upon completion of shareholder services, and are typically paid monthly from the assets of the fund.

Principal versus agent

The Company has contractual arrangements with third parties that are involved in providing various services primarily to sponsored fund customers, including sub-advisory, distribution and shareholder services. In instances where the Company has discretion to hire a third party to provide services to the Company’s clients, the Company is generally deemed to control the services before transferring them to the clients, and accordingly presents the revenues gross of the related third-party costs. Alternatively, the Company is acting as an agent (and therefore should record revenue net of payments to third-party service providers) when it does not control the service.

The Company controls the right to asset management services performed by various third-party sub-advisers; therefore management fee revenue is recorded on a gross basis. Fees paid to sub-advisers are recognized as an expense when incurred and are included in fund-related expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Separately, the Company also controls the right to distribution and shareholder services performed by various third-parties (including financial intermediaries); therefore distribution and underwriter fees and service fees are also recorded on a gross basis. Fees paid to third parties for distribution and shareholder services are recognized as an expense when incurred and are

included in distribution expense and service fee expense, respectively, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Comprehensive income

The Company reports all changes in comprehensive income in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income includes net income, unrealized gains and losses on certain derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and related reclassification adjustments attributable to the amortization of net gains and losses on these derivatives and foreign currency translation adjustments, in each case net of tax. When the Company has established an indefinite reinvestment assertion for a foreign subsidiary, deferred income taxes are not provided on the related foreign currency translation.

Investments held at cost

Investments held at cost primarily include the Company’s equity investment in a wealth management technology firm. At both April 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no indicators of impairments related to investments carried at cost.

Investments in non-consolidated CLO entities

The Company provides investment management services for, and has made direct investments in, a number of CLO entities that it does not consolidate, as described further in Note 4. At both April 30, 2019

and October 31, 2018, combined assets under management in the pools of non-consolidated CLO entities were $0.8 billion.

The Company did not recognize any impairment losses related to the Company’s investments in non-consolidated CLO entities for the three and six months ended April 30, 2019. During both the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, the Company recognized $0.2 million of other-than temporary impairment losses.

Investments in equity method investees

The Company has a 49 percent equity interest in Hexavest Inc. (Hexavest), a Montreal, Canada-based investment adviser. The carrying value of this investment consisted of the following:

(in millions)	April 30, 2019			October 31, 2018
Equity in net assets of Hexavest	$	5.5		$	6.0
Definite-lived intangible assets		19.9			21.3
Goodwill		113.8			116.4
Deferred tax liability		(5.4	)		(5.7	)
Total carrying value	$	133.8		$	138.0

The Company’s investment in Hexavest is denominated in Canadian dollars and is subject to foreign currency translation adjustments, which are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The year-over-year change in the carrying value of goodwill is entirely attributable to foreign currency translation adjustments.

The Company also has a seven percent equity interest in a private equity partnership managed by a third party that invests in companies in the financial services industry. At both April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, the carrying value of this investment was $3.5 million.

The Company did not recognize any impairment losses related to its investments in equity method investees during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 or 2018.

During the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company received dividends of $5.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively, from its investments in equity method investees.

Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

Investments in VIEs that are consolidated

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains investments in sponsored entities that are considered VIEs to support their launch and marketing. The Company consolidates these sponsored entities if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Consolidated sponsored funds

The Company invests in investment companies that meet the definition of a VIE. Underlying investments held by consolidated sponsored funds consist of debt and equity securities and are included in the

reported amount of investments on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018. Net investment income or (loss) related to consolidated sponsored funds was included in gains and other investment income, net, on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The impact of consolidated sponsored funds’ net income or (loss) on net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders was reduced by amounts attributable to non-controlling interest holders, which are recorded in net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The extent of the Company’s exposure to loss with respect to a consolidated sponsored fund is limited to the amount of the Company’s investment in the sponsored fund and any uncollected management and performance fees. The Company is not obligated to provide financial support to sponsored funds. Only the assets of a sponsored fund are available to settle its obligations. Beneficial interest holders of sponsored funds do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.

The following table sets forth the balances related to consolidated sponsored funds as well as the Company’s net interest in these funds:

(in thousands)	April 30, 2019			October 31, 2018

Consolidated CLO entities

As of April 30, 2019, the Company deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of two non-recourse securitized CLO entities, namely, Eaton Vance CLO 2018-1 (CLO 2018-1) and Eaton Vance CLO 2014-1R (CLO 2014-1R), and one non-recourse warehouse CLO entity, namely, Eaton Vance CLO 2019-1 (CLO 2019-1). As of October 31, 2018, the Company deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of three non-recourse securitized CLO entities, namely, CLO 2018-1, CLO 2014-1R and Eaton Vance CLO 2014-1 (CLO 2014-1). In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company received a final distribution from CLO 2014-1 of $1.9 million related to the residual assets held by the entity as of October 31, 2018.

The assets of consolidated CLO entities are held solely as collateral to satisfy the obligations of each entity. The Company has no right to receive benefits from, nor does the Company bear the risks associated with, the assets held by these CLO entities beyond the Company’s investment in these entities. In the event of default, recourse to the Company is limited to its investment in these entities. The Company has not provided any financial or other support to these entities that it was not previously contractually required to provide, and there are neither explicit arrangements nor does the Company hold implicit variable interests that could require the Company to provide any ongoing financial support to these entities. Other beneficial interest holders of consolidated CLO entities do not have any recourse to the Company’s general credit.

Eaton Vance CLO 2019-1

The Company established CLO 2019-1, a warehouse phase CLO entity, on January 3, 2019. The Company contributed $10.0 million in capital at the inception of the warehouse entity and concurrently entered into a credit facility agreement with a third-party lender to provide CLO 2019-1 with a $160.0 million non-

recourse revolving line of credit. The credit facility agreement requires the Company to maintain certain levels of contributed capital relative to the total outstanding borrowings under the line of credit. During the six months ended April 30, 2019, the Company made additional capital contributions of $30.0 million in order to increase the level of funding available for borrowing under the line of credit. CLO 2019-1 entered the securitization phase towards the end of the second quarter, but did not close prior to April 30, 2019.

While in the warehousing phase, the Company, acting as collateral manager and subject to the approval of the third-party lender, will use its capital contributions along with the proceeds from the revolving line of credit to accumulate a portfolio of commercial bank loan investments in open market purchases in an amount sufficient for eventual securitization. The line of credit is secured by the commercial bank loan investments held by the warehouse and initially bears interest at a rate of daily LIBOR plus 1.10 percent per annum, with such interest rate increasing to daily LIBOR plus 2.0 percent per annum in January 2020. The Company does not earn any collateral management fees from CLO 2019-1 during the warehousing phase and will continue to be the collateral manager of the CLO entity during the securitization phase.

As collateral manager, the Company has the unilateral ability to liquidate the CLO 2019-1 warehouse without cause, a right that, by definition, provides the Company with the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entity. The Company’s investment in the warehouse serves as first-loss protection to the third-party lender and provides the Company with an obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. Accordingly, the Company deems itself to be the primary beneficiary of CLO 2019-1 as it has both power and economics and began consolidating the entity from establishment of the warehouse on January 3, 2019.

Upon initial consolidation, the Company irrevocably elected to subsequently measure the bank loan investments held by CLO 2019-1 at fair value using the fair value option. The Company did not elect the fair value option for amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit upon initial consolidation of the CLO 2019-1 warehouse as these liabilities are temporary in nature. Refer to Note 6 for additional disclosure regarding the fair value of the assets and liabilities of consolidated CLO entities.

Eaton Vance CLO 2018-1

CLO 2018-1 was securitized on October 24, 2018. As of April 30, 2019, the Company continues to hold approximately 93 percent of the subordinated notes that were issued by CLO 2018-1 at closing and is still serving as the collateral manager of the entity. The Company deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of CLO 2018-1 upon acquiring 93 percent of the subordinated interests of the entity on October 24, 2018 and began consolidating CLO 2018-1 as of that date.

Eaton Vance CLO 2014-1R

CLO 2014-1R was securitized on August 23, 2018. As of April 30, 2019, the Company continues to hold 100 percent of the subordinated notes that were issued by CLO 2014-1R at closing and is still serving as the collateral manager of the entity. The Company deemed itself to be the primary beneficiary of CLO 2014-1R upon acquiring 100 percent of the subordinated interests of the entity on August 23, 2018 and began consolidating CLO 2014-1R as of that date.

The Company elected to apply the measurement alternative to ASC 820 for collateralized financing entities upon the initial consolidation and for the subsequent measurement of the securitized CLO entities consolidated by the Company (collectively, the consolidated securitized CLO entities). The Company determined that the fair value of the financial assets of these entities is more observable than the fair

value of the financial liabilities. Through the application of the measurement alternative, the fair value of the financial liabilities of these entities are measured as the difference between the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the Company’s beneficial interests in these entities, which include the subordinated interests held by the Company and any accrued management fees due to the Company. The fair value of the subordinated notes held by the Company is determined primarily based on an income approach, which projects the cash flows of the CLO assets using projected default, prepayment, recovery and discount rates, as well as observable assumptions about market yields, callability and other market factors. An appropriate discount rate is then applied to determine the discounted cash flow valuation of the subordinated notes. Aggregate disclosures for the securitized CLO entities consolidated by the Company as of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018 are provided below.

The following table presents the balances attributable to the consolidated securitized CLO entities and the consolidated warehouse CLO entity that were included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:

	April 30,				October 31,

Other liabilities		12,752		1,232		2,033
Total beneficial interests	$	64,992	$	44,070	$	68,173

Although the Company’s beneficial interests in the consolidated securitized CLO entities are eliminated upon consolidation, the application of the measurement alternative results in the Company’s total beneficial interests in these entities of $65.0 million and $68.2 million at April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively, being equal to the net amount of the consolidated CLO entities’ assets and liabilities included on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, as shown above.

As of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, there were no bank loan investments in default and no unpaid principal balances of such loans that were 90 days or more past due or in non-accrual status. Additional disclosure of the fair values of assets and liabilities of consolidated CLO entities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis is included in Note 6.

The following tables present the balances attributable to the consolidated securitized CLO entities and the consolidated warehouse CLO entity that were included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income:

The amounts included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended April 30, 2018 related entirely to the warehouse CLO entity consolidated by the Company in fiscal 2018.

As summarized in the table below, the application of the measurement alternative results in the Company's earnings from the consolidated securitized CLO entities subsequent to initial consolidation, as shown above, to be equivalent to the Company's own economic interests in these entities:

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended April 30, 2019		Six Months Ended April 30, 2019

Subsequent event – CLO 2019-1 securitization

The securitization of CLO 2019-1 closed on May 15, 2019. Upon closing, the proceeds from the issuance of senior and subordinated note obligations were used to purchase the warehouse bank loans, repay the third-party revolving line of credit and return the Company’s total capital contributions of $40 million. The Company acquired 100 percent of the subordinated notes issued by CLO 2019-1 at closing for $28.9 million and will provide collateral management services to this CLO entity in exchange for a collateral management fee. The Company deems itself to be the primary beneficiary of CLO 2019-1 as it has both power and economics and began consolidating the securitized entity upon closing.

Other entity

As of October 31, 2018, the Company held variable interests in, and was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, a privately offered equity fund that was seeded towards the end of fiscal 2018. The Company’s variable interests consisted of a $10,000 investment in the fund and a promissory note that enabled the fund to borrow up to $25.0 million from the Company. As of October 31, 2018, the Company’s risk of loss with respect to this entity was limited to the Company’s investment in the fund and the outstanding borrowings under the promissory note of $3.7 million. The Company invested an additional $10,000 upon launching of the fund in December 2018, at which time the total outstanding borrowings were repaid to the Company and the promissory note was canceled on January 14, 2019. As of April 30, 2019 the Company’s variable interest in the fund is limited to its $20,000 investment in the fund. The Company is no longer the primary beneficiary of the fund as it no longer has an obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the fund that could potentially be significant to the entity.

Investments in VIEs that are not consolidated

Sponsored funds

The Company classifies its investments in certain sponsored funds that are considered VIEs as equity securities when it is not considered the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company provides aggregated disclosures with respect to these non-consolidated sponsored fund VIEs in Notes 3 and 6.

Non-consolidated CLO entities

The Company is not deemed the primary beneficiary of several CLO entities in which it holds variable interests. In developing its conclusion that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities, the Company determined that although it has variable interests in each CLO by virtue of its beneficial ownership interests in the CLO entities, these interests neither individually nor in the aggregate represent an obligation to absorb losses of, or a right to receive benefits from, any such entity that could potentially be significant to that entity.

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these non-consolidated CLO entities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and collateral management fees receivable from, these entities as of April 30, 2019. Collateral management fees receivable for these entities totaled $0.1 million on both April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018. Investors in these CLO entities have no recourse against the Company for any losses sustained in the CLO structures. The Company did not provide any financial or other support to these entities that it was not previously contractually required to provide in any of the fiscal years presented. Income from these entities is recorded as a component of gains (losses) and other investment income, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, based upon projected investment yields. Additional information regarding the Company’s investment in non-consolidated CLO entities, as well as the combined assets under management in the pools of non-consolidated CLO entities, is included in Note 3.

Subsequent event – Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 (CLO 2013-1)

On May 1, 2019, the Company purchased 100 percent of the subordinated interests of CLO 2013-1 for $25.4 million. As of April 30, 2019, the Company held 20 percent of the Class E senior notes of CLO 2013-1 as an investment in non-consolidated CLO entities with a carrying value of $1.4 million. The Company is the collateral manager of CLO 2013-1. Upon acquiring 100 percent of the subordinated interests of the entity on May 1, 2019, the Company deems itself to be the primary beneficiary of CLO 2013-1 as it has both power and economics. The Company began consolidating CLO 2013-1 as of that date.

Other entities

The Company holds variable interests in, but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, certain sponsored privately offered equity funds with total assets of $24.3 billion and $21.8 billion on April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively. The Company’s variable interests in these entities consist of the Company’s direct ownership therein, which in each case is insignificant relative to the total ownership of the fund, and any investment advisory fees earned but uncollected. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these managed entities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and investment advisory fees receivables from, the entities as of April 30, 2019. The Company held investments in these entities totaling $0.5 million and $2.7 million on April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively, and investment advisory fees receivable totaling $1.4 million and $1.3 million on April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively. The Company did not provide any financial or other support to these entities that it was not contractually required to provide in any of the periods presented. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it does not have the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, these VIEs that could potentially be significant to these VIEs.

The Company’s investments in privately offered equity funds are carried at fair value and included in non-consolidated sponsored funds and other, which are disclosed as a component of investments in Note 3.

The Company also holds a variable interest in, but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, a private equity partnership managed by a third party that invests in companies in the financial services industry. The Company’s variable interest in this entity consists of the Company’s direct ownership in the private equity partnership, equal to $3.5 million at both April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018. The Company did not provide any financial or other support to this entity. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to the private equity partnership is limited to the carrying value of its investment in the entity as of April 30, 2019. The Company does not consolidate this VIE because the Company does not hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE.

The Company’s investment in the private equity partnership is accounted for as an equity method investment and disclosures related to this entity are included in Note 3 under the heading Investments in equity method investees.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges

In fiscal 2017, the Company entered into a Treasury lock transaction in connection with the offering of its 2027 Senior Notes. The Company concurrently designated the Treasury lock as a cash flow hedge to mitigate its exposure to variability in the forecasted semi-annual interest payments and recorded a loss in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company reclassified approximately $17,000 and

$34,000 of the loss into interest expense during both the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and will reclassify the remaining $0.5 million loss as of April 30, 2019 to earnings over the remaining term of the debt. During the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $68,000 of the unamortized loss.

In fiscal 2013, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap in connection with the offering of its 2023 Senior Notes and recorded a gain in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company reclassified $50,000 and $0.1 million of the gain into interest expense during both the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and will reclassify the remaining $0.8 million gain as of April 30, 2019 to earnings over the remaining term of the debt. During the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $0.2 million of the unamortized gain.

Other derivative financial instruments not designated for hedge accounting

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to hedge the market and currency risks associated with its investments in certain consolidated seed investments that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

Excluding derivative financial instruments held by consolidated sponsored funds, the Company was party to the following derivative financial instruments:

	April 30, 2019				October 31, 2018

The derivative contracts outstanding and notional values they represent at April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018 are representative of derivative balances throughout each respective year.

The Company has not elected to offset fair value amounts related to derivative financial instruments executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements; as a result, the Company records all derivative financial instruments as either other assets or other liabilities, gross, on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures them at fair value. The following table presents the fair value

of derivative financial instruments not designated for hedge accounting and how they are reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Amounts at April 30, 2019 reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-01. Amounts at October 31, 2018 reflect accounting guidance prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01. See Note 1 for further information.

⁽²⁾

These investments are not measured at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

⁽³⁾

Investments in non-consolidated CLO entities are carried at amortized cost unless facts or circumstances indicate that the investments have been impaired, at which time the investments are written down to fair value as measured using level 3 inputs.

A description of the valuation techniques and the inputs used in recurring fair value measurements is included immediately below. There have been no changes in the Company’s valuation techniques in the current reporting period.

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include investments in money market mutual funds, government agency securities, certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original (remaining) maturities to the Company of less than three months, as determined upon the purchase of each security. Cash investments in daily redeemable, actively traded money market mutual funds are valued using published net asset values and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Government agency securities are valued based upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated

by observable market data. The carrying amounts of certificates of deposit and commercial paper are measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short time between the purchase and expected maturity of these investments. Depending on the categorization of the significant inputs, these assets are generally categorized in their entirety as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Debt securities held at fair value

Short-term debt securities held are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third-party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker-dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. These assets are generally categorized as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Debt securities held in portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third-party pricing services as described above for short-term debt securities. Debt securities purchased with an original (remaining) maturity of 60 days or less (excluding those that are non-U.S. denominated, which typically are valued by a third-party pricing service or dealer quotes) are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Depending on the categorization of the significant inputs, debt securities held in portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds are generally categorized in their entirety as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Equity securities held at fair value

Equity securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of domestic and foreign equity securities held in portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts and investments in non-consolidated sponsored or other funds.

Equity securities are valued at the last sale, official close or, if there are no reported sales on the valuation date, at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on which they are traded. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the portfolios use a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. In addition, the Company performs its own independent back test review of fair values versus the subsequent local market opening prices when available. Depending on the categorization of the significant inputs, these assets are generally categorized in their entirety as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Equity investments in sponsored or other mutual funds are valued using the published net asset value per share and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Investments in sponsored private open-end funds are not listed on an active exchange but calculate a net asset value per share (or

equivalent) as of the Company’s reporting date in a manner consistent with mutual funds. These investments do not have any redemption restrictions and are not probable of being sold at an amount different from their calculated net asset value per share (or equivalent). Accordingly, investments in sponsored private open-end funds are measured at fair value based on the net asset value per share (or equivalent) of the investment as a practical expedient and are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. The Company does not have any unfunded commitments related to investments in sponsored private mutual funds at April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018.

Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments, further discussed in Note 5, are recorded as either other assets or other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Future and swap contracts are valued using a third-party pricing service that determines fair value based on bid and ask prices. Foreign exchange contracts are valued by interpolating a value using the spot foreign exchange rate and forward points, which are based on spot rate and currency interest rate differentials. Derivative instruments generally are classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Assets of consolidated CLO entities

Consolidated CLO entity assets include investments in bank loans and equity securities. Fair value is determined utilizing unadjusted quoted market prices when available. Equity securities held by consolidated CLO entities are valued using the same techniques as described above for equity securities. Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mid-point of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third-party pricing service. Fair value may also be based upon valuations obtained from independent third-party brokers or dealers utilizing matrix pricing models that consider information regarding securities with similar characteristics. In certain instances, fair value has been determined utilizing discounted cash flow analyses or single broker non-binding quotes. Depending on the categorization of the significant inputs, these assets are generally categorized as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Liabilities of consolidated CLO entities

Consolidated CLO entity liabilities include senior and subordinated note obligations. Fair value is determined using the measurement alternative to ASC 820 for collateralized financing entities. In accordance with the measurement alternative, the fair value of CLO liabilities was measured as the fair value of CLO assets less the sum of (i) the fair value of the beneficial interests held by the Company and (ii) the carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. Although both Level 2 and Level 3 inputs were used to measure the fair value of the CLO liabilities, the senior note obligations are classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy as the Level 3 inputs used were not significant.

Level 3 assets and liabilities

The following table shows a reconciliation of the beginning and ending fair value measurements of assets and liabilities valued on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy:

	Bank Loan Investments of Consolidated CLO Entities

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

Certain financial instruments are not carried at fair value, but their fair value is required to be disclosed. The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these financial instruments:

	April 30, 2019						October 31, 2018

Consolidated CLO entity line of credit	$	151,838	$	151,838		2	$	-	$	-		-

As discussed in Note 18, on December 23, 2015, Eaton Vance Management Canada Ltd. (EVMC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, loaned $5.0 million to Hexavest under a term loan agreement to seed a new investment strategy. The carrying value of the loan approximates fair value. The fair value is determined annually using a cash flow model that projects future cash flows based upon contractual obligations, to which the Company then applies an appropriate discount rate.

The fair value of the Company’s debt has been determined based on quoted prices in inactive markets.

The Company established CLO 2019-1 on January 3, 2019 and deems itself to be the primary beneficiary of CLO 2019-1 from that date. The Company did not elect the fair value option for amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit upon the initial consolidation of CLO 2019-1. Additional information regarding CLO 2019-1, including the terms of the revolving line of credit, is included in Note 4. The carrying amount of the revolving line of credit of $151.8 million as of April 30, 2019 approximates fair value.

The provision for income taxes was $64.7 million and $82.7 million, or 24.4 percent and 31.6 percent of pre-tax income, for the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The following table reconciles the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate:

⁽¹⁾

The Company's statutory U.S. federal income tax rate for fiscal 2019 is 21 percent based on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 Tax Act). The Company's statutory U.S. federal income tax rate for fiscal 2018 was a blend of 35 percent and 21 percent based on the number of days in the Company's fiscal year before and after the January 1, 2018 effective date of the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate pursuant to the 2017 Tax Act.

⁽²⁾

Reflects the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

The Company’s income tax provision for the three months ended April 30, 2019 includes $0.7 million of charges associated with certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act taking effect for the Company in fiscal 2019, relating principally to limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation. The Company’s income tax provision was reduced by net excess tax benefits related to the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards during the period totaling $0.3 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company’s income tax provision for the first six months of fiscal 2019 includes $1.3 million of charges associated with certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act taking effect for the Company in fiscal 2019, relating principally to limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation. The increase in the effective tax rate resulting from this charge is offset by an income tax benefit of $3.2 million related to the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards during the period, and $3.0 million related to the net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest and other beneficial interests, which is not taxable to the Company.

The Company’s income tax provision for the first six months of fiscal 2018 includes a non-recurring charge of approximately $24.8 million to reflect the effect of the 2017 Tax Act. The non-recurring charge was considered to be a provisional estimate under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118) and included $21.7 million from the revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities, and $3.1 million for the deemed repatriation of foreign-sourced net earnings not previously subject to U.S. taxation. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate resulting from this charge was partially offset by an income tax benefit of $13.7 million related to the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards during the period, and $2.8 million related

to the net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests and other beneficial interests, which is not taxable to the Company.

As of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, no valuation allowance has been recorded for deferred tax assets, reflecting management’s belief that all deferred tax assets will be utilized.

As of April 30, 2019, the Company considers the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. The Company no longer considers the undistributed earnings of its Canadian subsidiary to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. This change in assertion allowed the Canadian subsidiary to declare and pay a $65.2 million dividend to its U.S. parent company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in April 2019. There was no financial statement impact related to this dividend as all previously undistributed earnings from the Canadian subsidiary were subject to taxation in fiscal 2018 due to the 2017 Tax Act. The dividend did, however, result in a tax expense reduction in the amount of $0.5 million due to a realized foreign exchange loss. As of April 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $12.4 million of undistributed earnings primarily from foreign operations in the United Kingdom that are not available to fund domestic operations or to distribute to shareholders unless repatriated. As a result of the 2017 Tax Act and foreign exchange rates as of April 30, 2019, there is no future tax liability with respect to undistributed earnings.

The Company is generally no longer subject to income tax examinations by U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. taxing authorities for fiscal years prior to fiscal 2015.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties, such as engagement letters with advisors and consultants, information technology agreements, distribution agreements and service agreements. In certain circumstances, these indemnities in favor of third parties relate to service agreements entered into by investment funds advised by Eaton Vance Management, Boston Management and Research, or Calvert, all of which are direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors, officers and employees in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended. Certain agreements do not contain any limits on the Company’s liability and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the Company’s potential liability under these indemnities. In certain cases, the Company has recourse against third parties with respect to these indemnities. Further, the Company maintains insurance policies that may provide coverage against certain claims under these indemnities.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, after discussions with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Loan to affiliate

On December 23, 2015, EVMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, loaned $5.0 million to Hexavest under a term loan agreement to seed a new investment strategy. The loan renews automatically for an additional one-year period on each anniversary date unless written termination notice is provided by EVMC. Through October 31, 2018, the Company earned interest equal to the one-year Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus 200 basis points. In November 2018, the Company amended the term loan agreement to reduce the market interest rate of the loan to be equal to the one-year Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus 100 basis points. Hexavest may prepay the loan in whole or in part at any time without penalty. For the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $43,000 and $48,000, respectively, of interest income related to the loan in gains (losses) and other investment income, net, on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. For both the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $0.1 million of interest income related to the loan. Interest due from Hexavest under this arrangement included in other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $14,579 and $16,151 at April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively.

Employee loan program

The Company has established an Employee Loan Program under which a program maximum of $20.0 million is available for loans to officers (other than executive officers) and other key employees of the Company for purposes of financing the exercise of employee stock options. Loans are written for a seven-year period, at varying fixed interest rates (currently ranging from 0.9 percent to 2.9 percent), are payable in annual installments commencing with the third year in which the loan is outstanding, and are collateralized by the stock issued upon exercise of the option. All loans under the program must be made on or before October 31, 2022. Loans outstanding under this program, which are full recourse in nature, are reflected as notes receivable from stock option exercises in shareholders’ equity and totaled $7.8 million and $8.1 million at April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively.

Overview

Eaton Vance Corp. provides advanced investment strategies and wealth management solutions to forward-thinking investors around the world. Our principal business is managing investment funds and providing investment management and advisory services to high-net-worth individuals and institutions. Our core strategy is to develop and sustain management expertise across a range of investment disciplines and to offer leading investment strategies and services through multiple distribution channels. In executing our core strategy, we have developed broadly diversified investment management capabilities and a highly functional marketing, distribution and customer service organization. We measure our success as a Company based on investment performance delivered, client satisfaction, reputation in the marketplace, progress achieving strategic objectives, employee development and satisfaction, business and financial results, and shareholder value created.

We conduct our investment management and advisory business through wholly- and majority-owned investment affiliates, which include: Eaton Vance Management, Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), Atlanta Capital Management Company, LLC (Atlanta Capital) and Calvert Research and Management (Calvert). We also offer investment management advisory services through minority-owned affiliate Hexavest Inc. (Hexavest).

Through Eaton Vance Management, Atlanta Capital, Calvert and our other affiliates, we manage active equity, income and alternative strategies across a range of investment styles and asset classes, including U.S. and global equities, floating-rate bank loans, municipal bonds, global income, high-yield and investment grade bonds. Through Parametric, we manage a range of systematic investment strategies, including systematic equity, systematic alternatives and managed options strategies. Through Parametric, we also provide custom

portfolio implementation and overlay services, including tax-managed and non-tax-managed Custom Core equity strategies, centralized portfolio management of multi-manager portfolios and exposure management services. We also oversee the management of, and distribute, investment funds sub-advised by unaffiliated third-party managers, including global, emerging market and regional equity and asset allocation strategies.

Our breadth of investment management capabilities supports a wide range of strategies and services offered to fund shareholders, retail managed account investors, institutional investors and high-net-worth clients. Our equity strategies encompass a diversity of investment objectives, risk profiles, income levels and geographic representation. Our income investment strategies cover a broad duration, geographic representation and credit quality range and encompass both taxable and tax-free investments. We also offer a range of alternative investment strategies, including commodity- and currency-based investments and absolute return strategies. Although we manage and distribute a wide range of investment strategies and services, we operate in one business segment, namely as an investment adviser to funds and separate accounts. As of April 30, 2019, we had $469.9 billion in consolidated assets under management.

We distribute our funds and retail managed accounts principally through financial intermediaries. We have broad market reach, with distribution partners including national and regional broker-dealers, independent broker-dealers, registered investment advisors, banks and insurance companies. We support these distribution partners with a team of approximately 130 sales professionals covering U.S. and international markets.

We also commit significant resources to serving institutional and high-net-worth clients who access investment management services on a direct basis and through investment consultants. Through our wholly and majority-owned affiliates and consolidated subsidiaries, we manage investments for a broad range of clients in the institutional and high-net-worth marketplace in the U.S. and internationally, including corporations, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, family offices and public and private employee retirement plans.

Our revenue is derived primarily from management, distribution and service fees received from Eaton Vance-, Parametric- and Calvert-branded funds and management fees received from separate accounts. Our fees are based primarily on the value of the investment portfolios we manage and fluctuate with changes in the total value and mix of assets under management. As a matter of course, investors in our sponsored open-end funds and separate accounts have the ability to redeem their investments at any time, without prior notice, and there are no material restrictions that would prevent them from doing so. Our major expenses are employee compensation, distribution-related expenses, service fee expense, fund-related expenses, facilities expense and information technology expense.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, investments and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Current Developments

We are pursuing five primary strategic priorities to support business growth: (1) building upon and defending our leadership position in specialty strategies and services for high-net-worth and institutional investors; (2) capitalizing on the current interest rate environment to grow our market position in floating-rate and short-duration fixed income strategies; (3) expanding our leadership position in responsible investing; (4) increasing our global investment capabilities and distribution reach outside the United States; and (5) positioning Eaton Vance to profit from a changing environment for the asset management industry.

In the first six months of fiscal 2019, we continued to experience strong growth in our Custom Beta strategies, which include Parametric Custom Core equity and Eaton Vance Management laddered municipal and corporate bond separate account strategies. These market-leading offerings combine the benefits of passive investing with the ability to customize portfolios to meet individual preferences and needs. Compared to index mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, Custom Core separate accounts can provide clients with the ability to tailor their market exposures to achieve better tax outcomes and to reflect client-specified responsible investing criteria and other desired portfolio tilts and exclusions. In the first six months of fiscal 2019, net inflows into our Custom Beta strategies offered as individual separate accounts totaled $7.8 billion, which equates to annualized internal growth in managed assets of 18 percent.

In our floating-rate bank loan strategies, we saw net outflows of $4.5 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2019, as investors reduced their exposure to floating-rate assets and below investment grade credits amid a changing economic outlook. Our lineup of fixed income mutual funds positioned as short- or ultra-short duration, short-term or adjustable-rate continued to demonstrate strong appeal to investors in the first six months of fiscal 2019. Among our leading funds in this category are the highly rated Eaton Vance Short-Duration Government Income and Eaton Vance Short-Duration Municipal Opportunities Funds, which had combined net inflows of $2.5 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2019.

Our leadership position in responsible investing continues to expand. The Calvert Funds are one of the largest and most diversified families of responsibly invested mutual funds, encompassing actively and passively managed equity, fixed and floating-rate income, and asset allocation strategies managed in accordance with the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment or other responsible investment criteria. Since Calvert became part of Eaton Vance in December 2016, we have made significant progress growing managed assets in Calvert-branded investment strategies and positioning Calvert as a center for excellence in environmental, social and governance (ESG) research and engagement. Including the Atlanta Capital-subadvised Calvert Equity Fund, assets under management in Calvert strategies grew to $17.1 billion at April 30, 2019 from $14.7 billion at October 31, 2018, reflecting net inflows of $1.5 billion and market price appreciation of $1.0 billion. Calvert’s $1.5 billion of net inflows for the first six months of fiscal 2019 equates to annualized internal growth in managed assets of 20 percent.

While Calvert is the centerpiece of our responsible investment strategy, our commitment to responsible investing extends to other investment affiliates. Eaton Vance Management continues to integrate consideration of responsible investing criteria into the firm’s fundamental research processes, capitalizing on Calvert’s proprietary ESG research. Atlanta Capital also maintains a significant focus on responsible investing, and Parametric manages over $22 billion of client assets based on client-directed responsible investment criteria. On an overall basis, Eaton Vance is one of the largest participants in responsible investing, a position we are committed to growing in conjunction with rising demand for investment strategies that incorporate ESG-integrated investment research and/or are managed with a dual objective to achieve favorable investment returns and positive societal impact.

While change is a constant in the asset management industry, the pace of change appears to be accelerating. We see this in changing market conditions and demographic trends, shifts in investor sentiment and outlook, advances in information technology, changes in the business strategies of key intermediaries and gatekeepers, and new tax and regulatory initiatives. Through changing market conditions, we strive to anticipate the evolving needs of investors and to develop timely solutions to address their needs. Positioning the Company for continued success amid accelerating change is the primary focus of our strategic initiatives.

In February 2019, Eaton Vance Management, together with Eaton Vance Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, filed an exemptive application to permit the offering of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that would employ a novel method of supporting efficient secondary market trading of fund shares, referred to as the “Clearhedge Method.” Because disclosure of current holdings would not be necessary under the Clearhedge Method, an ETF’s portfolio trading activity could remain confidential. In conjunction with filing the Clearhedge Method exemptive application, Eaton Vance formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Advanced Fund Solutions, to manage the development and commercialization of ETFs utilizing the Clearhedge Method and other fund-related intellectual property. Through licensing and services agreements, Eaton Vance and Advanced Fund Solutions seek to make the Clearhedge Method broadly available across the ETF industry, including actively managed and index-based ETFs.

As of April 30, 2019, 67 Calvert, Eaton Vance and Parametric-branded mutual funds offered in the U.S. were rated 4 or 5 stars by Morningstar ^TM for at least one class of shares, including 28 five-star rated funds. A good source of performance-related information for our funds is their websites, available at www.calvert.com and www.eatonvance.com. On our funds’ websites, investors can also obtain other current information about our funds, including investment objective and principal investment policies, portfolio characteristics, expenses and Morningstar ratings.

Consolidated Assets under Management

Prevailing equity and income market conditions and investor sentiment affect the sales and redemptions of our investment offerings, managed asset levels, operating results and the recoverability of our investments. During the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2019, the S&P 500 Index, a broad measure of U.S. equity market performance, had total returns of 9.5 percent and 9.8 percent, respectively, and the MSCI Emerging Market Index, a broad measure of emerging market equity performance, had total returns of 3.2 percent and 13.9 percent, respectively. Over the same periods, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. bond market performance, had total returns of 1.9 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively.

Consolidated assets under management of $469.9 billion on April 30, 2019 increased $29.8 billion, or 7 percent, from $440.1 billion of consolidated assets under management on April 30, 2018. The year-over-year increase in consolidated assets under management reflects net inflows of $11.9 billion and market price appreciation in managed assets of $17.9 billion.

The following tables summarize our consolidated assets under management by investment mandate, investment vehicle and investment affiliate. Within the investment mandate table, the “Portfolio implementation” category consists of Parametric Custom Core equity strategies and centralized portfolio management services, and the “Exposure management” category consists of Parametric’s futures- and options-based portfolio overlay services.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company revised its classification of consolidated assets under management by investment vehicle to combine the formerly separate high-net-worth separate account and retail managed account categories into a single individual separate account category. The above presentation of prior year results has been revised for comparability purposes. The reclassification does not affect total consolidated assets under management for any period.

Consolidated average assets under management presented in the following tables are derived by averaging the beginning and ending assets of each month over the period. The tables are intended to provide information useful in the analysis of our asset-based revenue and distribution expenses. Separate account management fees are generally calculated as a percentage of either beginning, average or ending quarterly assets. Fund management, distribution and service fees, as well as certain expenses, are generally calculated as a percentage of average daily assets.

Consolidated Net Flows

Consolidated net inflows of $4.6 billion and $6.1 billion in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2019, respectively, represent annualized internal growth in managed assets (consolidated net inflows divided by beginning of period consolidated assets under management) of 4 percent and 3 percent for the respective periods. For comparison, we had consolidated net inflows of $4.4 billion and $11.5 billion in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2018, respectively, representing annualized internal growth in managed assets of 4 percent and 5 percent for the respective periods. Excluding exposure management mandates, which have lower fees and more variable flows than the rest of our business, our annualized internal growth in managed assets was 3 percent in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2019 and 9 percent and 8 percent in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2018, respectively.

The Company’s annualized internal management fee revenue growth rate (management fees attributable to consolidated inflows less management fees attributable to consolidated outflows, divided by beginning of period consolidated management fee revenue) was 1 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, as the management fee revenue contribution from sales and other inflows exceeded the management fee revenue lost from redemptions and other outflows. The Company’s annualized internal management fee revenue growth rate was -1 percent in the first six months of fiscal 2019, as the management fee revenue lost from redemptions and other outflows exceeded the management fee revenue contribution from sales and other inflows. The Company’s annualized internal management fee revenue growth rate was 6 percent and 5 percent in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2018, respectively, as the management fee revenue contribution from sales and other inflows exceeded the management fee revenue lost from redemptions and other outflows.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company revised its classification of consolidated assets under management and net flows by investment vehicle to combine the formerly separate high-net-worth separate account and retail managed account categories into a single individual separate account category. The above presentation of prior year results has been revised for comparability purposes. The reclassification does not affect total consolidated assets under management or total consolidated net flows for any period.

As of April 30, 2019, our 49 percent-owned affiliate Hexavest managed $13.9 billion of client assets, down 12 percent from $15.8 billion of managed assets on April 30, 2018. Other than Eaton Vance-sponsored funds for which Hexavest is adviser or sub-adviser, the managed assets and flows of Hexavest are not included in Eaton Vance’s consolidated totals.

Results of Operations

In evaluating operating performance, we consider net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and earnings per diluted share, which are calculated on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, as well as adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share, both of which are internally derived non-U.S. GAAP performance measures.

Management believes that certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, specifically, adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share, while not a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial measures, may be effective indicators of our performance over time. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be construed to be superior to U.S. GAAP measures. In calculating these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and earnings per diluted share are adjusted to exclude items management deems non-operating or non-recurring in nature, or otherwise outside the ordinary course of business. These adjustments may include, when applicable, the add back of closed-end fund structuring fees, costs associated with special dividends, debt repayments and tax settlements, the tax impact of stock-based compensation shortfalls or windfalls, and non-recurring charges for the effect of tax law changes. Management and our Board of Directors, as well as certain of our outside investors, consider these adjusted numbers a measure of our underlying operating performance. Management believes adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and may provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying business.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and earnings per diluted share to adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share, respectively:

The 5 percent increase in net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2018 is attributable primarily to the following:

A decrease in revenue of $0.8 million, primarily reflecting a decrease in distribution and underwriting fees, partially offset by an increase in management fees.

An increase in expenses of $4.7 million, reflecting increases in compensation and related costs, service fee expenses, amortization of deferred sales commissions, fund-related expenses and other operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in distribution expense.

An increase in non-operating income of $25.6 million, primarily reflecting an increase in net gains and other investment income and an increase in income contribution from consolidated CLO entities.

An increase in income taxes of $3.0 million.

A decrease in equity in net income of affiliates, net of tax, of $0.4 million.

An increase in net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests of $11.5 million.

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding decreased by 9.5 million shares, or 8 percent, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily reflecting share repurchases in excess of new shares issued upon the vesting of restricted stock awards and the exercise of employee stock

options and a decrease in the dilutive effect of in-the-money options and unvested restricted stock awards due to lower market prices of the Company’s shares.

The 8 percent increase in net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders in the first six months of fiscal 2019 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2018 can be primarily attributed to the following:

A decrease in revenue of $14.7 million, primarily reflecting decreases in management fees and distribution and underwriting fees.

An increase in expenses of $5.5 million, reflecting increases in compensation and related costs, amortization of deferred sales commissions, fund-related expenses and other operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in distribution and service fee expense.

An increase in non-operating income of $24.1 million, primarily reflecting an increase in net gains and other investment income and an increase in income contribution from consolidated CLO entities.

A decrease in income taxes of $18.0 million.

Prior period amounts have been restated to reflect the Company’s retrospective adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on November 1, 2018. Fund subsidies previously included as a component of fund-related expenses are now presented as a contra-revenue component of management fees. In addition, certain front-end load sales commissions that were previously reported on a net basis as a component of distribution expense are now reported on a gross basis in distribution and underwriter fee revenue and distribution expense.

Management fees

The increase in management fees in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from the same period a year earlier is primarily attributable to an increase in consolidated average assets under management, partially offset by a decrease in our consolidated average management fee rates. The decrease in management fees in the first six months of fiscal 2019 from the same period a year earlier is primarily attributable to a decrease in our consolidated average annualized management fee rates, partially offset by an increase in consolidated average assets under management. Consolidated average assets under management increased by 4 percent and 3

percent in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2019 from the same periods a year earlier, respectively. Excluding performance-based fees, consolidated average annualized management fee rates decreased to 31.8 basis points for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2019 from 32.8 basis points and 33.2 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2018, respectively. Performance-based fees contributed $1.8 million and $1.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2019, respectively, and were $(0.5) million and $(1.0) million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2018, respectively. Changes in consolidated average annualized management fee rates for the compared periods primarily reflect a shift in the Company’s mix of business towards lower-fee mandates.

The following table shows consolidated average annualized management fee rates, excluding performance-based fees:

In addition, contingent deferred sales commissions and other redemption fees that were previously recorded as a contra-asset component of deferred sales commissions are now recorded as a component of total distribution and underwriter fees.

Service fees

Fund service fee revenue was substantially unchanged in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from the prior period a year earlier. Service fee revenue decreased 1 percent in the first six months of fiscal 2019 from the same period a year earlier, primarily reflecting a decrease in average assets in funds and fund share classes subject to service fees.

Other revenue

Other revenue, which consists primarily of fund shareholder servicing fees, miscellaneous dealer income, referral fees and consultancy fees, decreased 6 percent and 1 percent in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2019 from the same periods a year earlier, respectively, primarily reflecting decreases in miscellaneous dealer income and referral fees, partially offset by an increase in shareholder servicing fees and consultancy fees.

Total	$	153,542	$	147,989		4	%	$	307,430	$	303,037		1	%

Compensation expense increased by $5.6 million, or 4 percent, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from the same period a year earlier. The increase was driven primarily by (i) a $5.4 million increase in base salaries and employee benefits associated with increases in headcount and fiscal year-end merit adjustments; (ii) $1.6 million of one-time costs recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 associated with employee terminations; and (iii) a $1.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in sales-based incentive compensation and a $0.6 million decrease in operating income-based bonus accruals.

Compensation expense increased by $4.4 million, or 1 percent, in the first six months of fiscal 2019 from the same period a year earlier. The increase was driven primarily by an $11.7 million increase in base salaries and employee benefits associated with increases in headcount and fiscal year-end merit adjustments and $1.6 million of one-time costs recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 associated with employee

terminations. These increases were partially offset by a $5.3 million decrease in operating income-based bonus accruals and a $2.8 million decrease in sales-based incentive compensation.

⁽¹⁾

Prior period amounts have been restated to reflect the Company’s retrospective adoption of the ASU 2014-09 on November 1, 2018. Certain front-end load sales commissions that were previously reported on a net basis as a component of distribution expense are now reported on a gross basis in distribution and underwriter fee revenue and distribution expense. In addition, certain fees were reclassified from service fee expense to distribution expense due to the nature of the fees.

Distribution expense decreased by $4.7 million, or 11 percent, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, and decreased by $9.0 million, or 11 percent, in the first six months of fiscal 2019 versus the same periods a year earlier, primarily reflecting lower Class C distribution expenses driven by a decrease in average managed assets of Class C mutual fund shares. The decrease for the first six months of fiscal 2019 further reflects a $0.7 million decrease in up-front sales commission expense and a $0.6 million decrease in discretionary marketing expenses.

Service fee expense

Service fee expense increased by $0.2 million, or 1 percent, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from the same period a year earlier, reflecting higher private fund service fee payments, partially offset by lower Class C service fee payments. Service fee expense decreased by $1.1 million, or 2 percent, in the first six months of fiscal 2019 versus the same period a year earlier, reflecting lower Class C and Class A service fee payments, partially offset by higher private fund service fee payments.

Amortization of deferred sales commissions

Amortization expense increased by $1.1 million, or 26 percent, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, and increased by $2.4 million, or 28 percent, in the first six months of fiscal 2019 versus the same periods a year earlier, primarily reflecting higher private fund and Class C commission amortization.

Fund-related expenses

Fund-related expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 6 percent, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, and increased by $1.1 million, or 6 percent, in the first six months of fiscal 2019 compared to the same periods a year earlier, reflecting an increase in fund expenses borne by the Company on funds for which it earns an all-in fee and higher sub-advisory fees driven by increases in average managed assets in sub-advised funds.

Other expenses

The following table shows our other expenses:

	Three Months Ended							Six Months Ended

Total	$	53,764	$	51,962		3	%	$	106,945	$	99,201		8	%

Other expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 3 percent, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, and increased by $7.7 million, or 8 percent, in the first six months of fiscal 2019 from the same periods a year earlier, primarily reflecting increases in information technology spending, attributable mainly to expenditures associated with the consolidation of our trading platforms, enhancements to Calvert’s research system, ongoing system maintenance costs and software consulting services, and higher professional services expenses, primarily driven by higher external legal costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense related to certain intangible assets that were fully amortized during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase for the first six months of fiscal 2019 further reflects an increase in facilities-related expenses, primarily attributable to the accelerated depreciation of certain leasehold improvements and an increase in rent associated with the move into newly leased office space in Seattle.

Non-operating Income (Expense)

The following table shows the main categories of non-operating income (expense):

	Three Months Ended									Six Months Ended
	April 30,						%			April 30,						%

Total non-operating income (expense)	$	20,291		$	(5,349	)		NM		$	17,098		$	(7,035	)		NM

Gains (losses) and other investment income, net, increased by $15.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the same period a year ago, reflecting an $11.5 million increase in net investment gains

primarily attributable to investments in sponsored strategies and associated hedges and a $4.3 million increase in interest and other income, partially offset by a decrease in foreign currency gains of $0.3 million.

Interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was substantially unchanged from the same period a year earlier.

The change in other income (expense) of consolidated CLO entities in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period a year earlier reflects a $10.2 million increase in income contribution from consolidated CLO entities, reflecting an increase in our economic interests in these entities. Our economic interests consist of changes in the fair market value of our investments in these entities, distributions received and management fees earned by the Company.

Gains (losses) and other investment income, net, increased by $18.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019 compared to the same period a year earlier, reflecting a $13.4 million increase in net investment gains primarily attributable to investments in sponsored strategies and associated hedges, a $5.0 million increase in interest and other income and a decrease in foreign currency losses of $0.3 million.

Interest expense increased by $0.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019 compared to the same period a year earlier. The increase is primarily attributable to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with replacing the Company’s previous revolving credit facility with a new $300 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility on December 11, 2018. The new credit facility expires on December 11, 2023.

The change in other income (expense) of consolidated CLO entities in the first six months 2019 compared to the same period a year earlier reflects a $5.6 million increase in income contribution from consolidated CLO entities, reflecting an increase in our economic interests in these entities. Our economic interests consist of changes in the fair market value of our investments in these entities, distributions received and management fees earned by the Company.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate, calculated as a percentage of income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliates, was 25.1 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and 26.7 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

Our income tax provision for the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 includes charges of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, associated with certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act taking effect in fiscal 2019, relating principally to limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation.

Our income tax provision for the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 was reduced by net excess tax benefits of $0.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, related to the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards during those periods. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, our income tax provision was reduced by net excess tax benefits related to the exercise of employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards totaling $1.9 million and $13.7 million, respectively. Our income tax provision for the six months ended April 30, 2018 also included a non-recurring charge of $24.8 million to reflect the estimated effect of enactment of the 2017 Tax Act.

Our calculations of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share remove the tax impact of stock-based compensation shortfalls or windfalls recognized in connection with the accounting guidance

adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. On this basis, our adjusted effective tax rate was 25.3 percent and 25.6 percent for the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, respectively.

Equity in Net Income of Affiliates, Net of Tax

Equity in net income of affiliates, net of tax, primarily reflects our 49 percent equity interest in Hexavest and our seven percent minority equity interest in a private equity partnership managed by a third party.

The following table summarizes the components of equity in net income of affiliates, net of tax:

Net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests is not adjusted for taxes due to the underlying tax status of our consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries, which are treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for tax purposes. The sponsored funds that we consolidate are registered investment companies or private funds that are also treated as pass-through entities for tax purposes.

Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The assets and liabilities of our consolidated CLO entities do not affect our liquidity or capital resources. The collateral assets of our consolidated CLO entities are held solely to satisfy the obligations of these entities and we have no right to these assets beyond our direct investment in, and management fees generated from, these entities. The note holders and third-party creditors of these entities have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. As a result, the assets and liabilities of our consolidated CLO entities are excluded from the discussion of liquidity and capital resources below.

The following table summarizes certain key financial data relating to our liquidity and capital resources and the uses of cash:

Prior period operating cash flows have been restated to reflect the Company's retrospective adoption of ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, on November 1, 2018. Please see Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 1, "Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)," for further detail.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and management fees and other receivables. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash. Management fees and other receivables primarily represent receivables due from sponsored funds and separately managed accounts for investment advisory and distribution services provided. Excluding those

assets identified as assets of consolidated CLO entities, liquid assets represented 33 percent of total assets at both April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018. Not included in the liquid asset amounts are $203.3 million and $273.3 million of highly liquid short-term debt securities with remaining maturities between three and 12 months at April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively, which are included within investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our seed investments in consolidated funds and separate accounts are not treated as liquid assets because they may be longer term in nature.

On April 30, 2019, our debt consisted of $325 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.625 percent Senior Notes due in June 2023 and $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5 percent Senior Notes due in April 2027.

We maintain a $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility with several banks that expires on December 11, 2023. The facility, which we entered into on December 11, 2018, provides that we may borrow at LIBOR-based rates of interest that vary depending on the level of usage of the facility and our credit ratings. The agreement contains financial covenants with respect to leverage and interest coverage and requires us to pay an annual commitment fee on any unused portion. We had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility at April 30, 2019 or at any point during the first six months of fiscal 2019. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of April 30, 2019.

We continue to monitor our liquidity daily. We remain committed to growing our business and returning capital to shareholders. We expect that our main uses of cash will be paying dividends, acquiring shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock, making seed investments in new investment strategies, potential strategic acquisitions, enhancing our technology infrastructure and paying the operating expenses of our business. We believe that our existing liquid assets, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our credit facility are sufficient to meet our current and forecasted operating cash needs. The risk exists, however, that if we need to raise additional capital or refinance existing debt in the future, resources may not be available to us in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms. Our ability to enter the capital markets in a timely manner depends on a number of factors, including the state of global credit and equity markets, interest rates, credit spreads and our credit ratings. If we are unable to access capital markets to issue new debt, refinance existing debt or sell shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock as needed, or if we are unable to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, our business could be adversely affected.

Recoverability of our Investments

Our $975.2 million of investments as of April 30, 2019 consisted of our 49 percent equity interest in Hexavest, positions in Company-sponsored funds and separate accounts entered into for investment and business development purposes, and certain other investments held at cost by the Company. Investments in consolidated funds and separate accounts and investments held directly by the Company are generally in liquid debt or equity securities and are carried at fair market value. We test our investments held at cost for impairment on a quarterly basis using qualitative factors. As of April 30, 2019 there were no indicators of impairment on our investments held at cost.

We test our investments in equity method investees, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or as facts and circumstances indicate that additional analysis is warranted. There have been no significant changes in financial condition in the first six months of fiscal 2019 that would indicate that an impairment loss exists at April 30, 2019.

We periodically review our deferred sales commissions and amortizing identifiable intangible assets for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. There have been no significant changes in financial condition in the first six months of fiscal 2019 that would indicate that an impairment loss exists at April 30, 2019.

Operating Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $219.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $10.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2018. The year-over-year change primarily reflects an increase in net cash provided by the sale of short-term debt securities, a decrease in net outflows related to the investment activity of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts, an increase in net cash provided by the operating activities of consolidated CLO entities and a net increase as a result of the timing differences in the cash settlements of our other assets and liabilities.

Investing Cash Flows

Cash used for investing activities totaled $367.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019 and $104.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2018. The year-over-year change primarily reflects a $274.0 million increase in net purchases of bank loans and other investments by our consolidated CLO entities and a $13.9 million increase in additions to equipment and leasehold improvements, partially offset by a $13.3 million decrease in net purchases of investments made by the Company in CLO entity note obligations and a $10.9 million increase in net proceeds from sale of investments. We anticipate that we will continue to invest in CLO entity note obligations while also taking advantage of opportunities to sell equity interests currently held in CLOs.

Financing Cash Flows

Cash used for financing activities totaled $86.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019. The Company used $196.7 million to repurchase and retire shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock under our current repurchase authorization, paid $18.1 million to acquire additional interests in Atlanta Capital and Parametric and received proceeds of $16.8 million related to the issuance of shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock in connection with the exercise of stock options and other employee stock purchases. As of April 30, 2019, we had authorization to purchase an additional 2.6 million shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock under our current share repurchase authorization. We anticipate that repurchases of our Non-Voting Common Stock will continue to be an ongoing use of cash.

Our dividends declared per share were $0.70 in the first six months of fiscal 2019 and we paid an additional $8.8 million of dividends in the first six months of fiscal 2019 versus the first six months of fiscal 2018. We currently expect to declare and pay quarterly dividends on our Voting and Non-Voting Common Stock comparable to the dividend declared in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Cash provided by financing activities of consolidated CLO entities totaled $151.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019 and $77.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2018. The year-over-year change reflects an increase in proceeds from the line of credit of a new warehouse CLO entity. In May 2019, upon the closing of the warehouse CLO entity and the securitization of a new CLO entity, the line of credit was paid off in full.

Contractual Obligations

We have future obligations under various contracts relating to debt, interest payments and operating leases. During the first six months ended April 30, 2019, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations

as previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2018, except as discussed below.

We began consolidating a new warehouse CLO entity, CLO 2019-1, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 that had borrowings under a non-recourse revolving line of credit as of April 30, 2019 of $151.8 million. The assets of our consolidated CLO entities are held solely as collateral to satisfy the obligations of each entity. In the event of default, recourse to the Company is limited to our investment in these entities. Upon the closing of the securitization of CLO 2019-1 in May 2019, the line of credit was paid off in full. For additional information, please see Notes 4 and 6 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Non-controlling interests held by employees in Atlanta Capital and Parametric long-term equity incentive plans are not subject to mandatory redemption. The purchase of non-controlling interests is predicated on the exercise of a series of puts held by non-controlling interest holders and calls held by us. The puts provide the non-controlling interest holders the right to require us to purchase these retained interests at specific intervals over time, while the calls provide us with the right to require the non-controlling interest holders to sell their retained equity interests to us at specified intervals over time, as well as upon the occurrence of certain events such as death or permanent disability. These non-controlling interests are redeemable at fair value. There is significant uncertainty as to the timing and amount of any non-controlling interest purchase in the future. Although the timing and amounts of these purchases cannot be predicted with certainty, we anticipate that the purchase of non-controlling interests in our consolidated subsidiaries may be a significant use of cash in future years.

We have presented all redeemable non-controlling interests at redemption value on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2019. We have recorded the current quarter change in the estimated redemption value of non-controlling interests redeemable at fair value as a component of additional paid-in capital. The estimated redemption value of our non-controlling interests totaled $340.2 million on April 30, 2019 compared to $335.1 million on October 31, 2018. These interests are all redeemable at fair value. Redeemable non-controlling interests as of April 30, 2019 consisted of profit interests granted under the long-term incentive plans of Parametric and Atlanta Capital of $48.5 million and $27.1 million, respectively, and non-controlling interests in Parametric issued in conjunction with the Parametric Risk Advisors LLC (Parametric Risk Advisors) final put option of $11.9 million. Additionally, redeemable non-controlling interests as of April 30, 2019 also included third-party investors’ ownership in consolidated sponsored funds of $252.7 million.

Foreign Subsidiaries

As of April 30, 2019, we consider the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. We no longer consider the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiary to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. This change in assertion allowed the Canadian subsidiary to declare and pay a $65.2 million dividend to its U.S. parent company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in April 2019. There was no financial statement impact related to this dividend as all previously undistributed earnings from the Canadian subsidiary were subject to taxation in fiscal 2018 due to the 2017 Tax Act. The dividend did however result in a tax expense reduction in the amount of $0.5 million due to a realized foreign exchange loss. As of April 30, 2019, we had approximately $12.4 million of undistributed earnings primarily from foreign operations in the United Kingdom that are not available to fund domestic operations or to distribute to shareholders unless repatriated. As a result of the 2017 Tax Act and foreign exchange rates as of April 30, 2019, there is no future tax liability with respect to undistributed earnings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide financing, liquidity, market or credit risk support or engage in any leasing activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no updates to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018.

Accounting Developments

On November 1, 2018, the Company fully adopted four new accounting standards. Please refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in Item 1, “Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk from those previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2019. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rule and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our CEO and CFO participated in this evaluation and concluded that, as of April 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of our fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There have been no material developments in litigation previously reported in our SEC filings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our Risk Factors from those previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2018.
