Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Eaton Vance Corp. (“the Company”) include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 (“SEC”). 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 latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company adopted the following accounting standard in fiscal 2014:

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Effective November 1, 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The guidance provided in the ASU requires an entity to present separately, for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income, the current period reclassification of amounts into net income and identify each line item in the statement of net income that is affected by the reclassification. The adoption of the ASU was effective prospectively and did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Consolidated Sponsored Funds

Underlying investments held by consolidated sponsored funds are included in investments on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and classified as trading securities as of each balance sheet date presented. Net investment income related to these funds was included in gains and other investment income, net, on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. Net investment income was partially offset by amounts attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interest holders and recorded as such in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

The following table sets forth the balances related to consolidated sponsored funds that are included on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 as well as the Company’s net interest in these funds:

(in thousands)	January 31, 2014			October 31, 2013
Investments	$	140,962		$	153,327
Other assets		16,992			13,799
Other liabilities		(25,921	)		(31,008	)
Redeemable non-controlling interests		(4,924	)		(3,958	)
Net interest in consolidated sponsored funds⁽¹⁾	$	127,109		$	132,160

⁽¹⁾

Excludes the Company's investment in consolidated CLO entities, which are discussed in Note 8.

In both the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company deconsolidated one sponsored fund.

The following is a summary of investments at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

Investment securities, trading

Investment securities classified as trading consist of cash management assets held by the Company, including certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate debt securities with original maturities ranging from three months to twenty-four months, and debt and equity securities held in the portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts. The Company seeds new fund and separate account investment strategies on a regular basis as a means of establishing investment records that can be used in marketing those strategies to retail and institutional clients. A separately managed account seeded by the Company for product development purposes is not a legal entity subject to consolidation, but rather an individual portfolio of securities in the Company’s name managed to establish an investment track record. For both consolidated funds and separately managed accounts, the Company looks through the construct of the portfolio to the underlying debt and equity securities and treats these securities as trading securities for accounting and disclosure purposes. The following is a summary of the fair value of investments classified as trading at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

(in thousands)	January 31, 2014		October 31, 2013
Cash management assets	$	91,614	$	20,116
Debt securities - consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts		83,914		97,650
Equity securities - consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts		117,561		117,758
Total investment securities, trading	$	293,089	$	235,524

During the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company seeded investments in 2 sponsored funds. The Company did not seed any separately managed accounts during the three months ended January 31, 2014. During the three months ended January 31, 2013, the Company seeded investments in 7 sponsored funds and 5 separately managed accounts.

The Company recognized losses related to trading securities still held at the reporting date of $5.0 million and gains of $9.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Investment securities, available-for-sale

Investment securities classified as available-for-sale consist exclusively of seed investments in certain sponsored open-end funds, privately offered equity funds and closed-end funds where the Company has less than a 20 percent interest in the fund. The following is a summary of the gross unrealized gains (losses) included in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to securities classified as available-for-sale at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

January 31, 2014			Gross Unrealized

Investment securities, available-for-sale	$	15,459	$	7,306	$	(38	)	$	22,727

Net unrealized holding losses on investment securities classified as available-for-sale included in other comprehensive loss were $0.8 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

The Company reviewed gross unrealized losses of $0.7 million as of January 31, 2014 and determined that these losses were not other-than-temporary, primarily because the Company has both the ability and intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to recover such losses. The aggregate fair value of investments with unrealized losses was $15.5 million at January 31, 2014. No investment with a gross unrealized loss has been in a loss position for greater than one year.

The following is a summary of the Company’s realized gains and losses upon disposition of investments classified as available-for-sale for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

⁽¹⁾

The Company’s investments in these CLO entities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

The investments are carried at amortized cost unless facts and circumstances indicate that the investments have been impaired, at which time the investments are written down to fair value. There was no re-measurement of these assets during the three months ended January 31, 2014 or the twelve months ended October 31, 2013.

Investments, other, include investments carried at cost which are not measured at fair value in accordance with GAAP.

Valuation methodologies

The following describes the valuation methodologies used for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as well as the general classification of those assets and liabilities within the fair value measurement hierarchy:

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of investments in money market funds, government and agency securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. Cash investments in actively traded money market

funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Government and 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. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these assets are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. The carrying amounts of commercial paper and certificates of deposit are measured at amortized cost, which approximates market value due to the short time between the purchase and expected maturity of the investments. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Investment securities, trading – cash management assets

Corporate cash management assets consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate debt obligations with original maturities from three months to twenty-four months. Debt obligations 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 asked 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. Depending on the nature of the inputs, corporate cash management assets are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Investment securities, trading – debt

Debt securities classified as trading consist of debt obligations held in the portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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 asked 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. Short-term obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty 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 upon the nature of the inputs, debt securities classified as trading are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Investment securities, trading – equity

Equity securities classified as trading consist of foreign and domestic equity securities held in the portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts. Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria as established by our fair value pricing service, 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. The service utilizes a multi-factor model that considers such information as an issue’s local closing price and post-closing fluctuations in relevant general market and sector indices, currencies, depositary receipts and futures, as applicable. The size of the adjustment is determined by the observed changes in these factors since the close of the applicable foreign market. The pricing service uses a multiple regression methodology and back testing to validate the quality and correlations of their evaluations. In addition, the Company performs its own independent back test review of fair values versus the subsequent local market opening prices when

available. Depending upon the nature of the inputs, equity securities classified as trading are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Investment securities, available-for-sale

Investment securities classified as available-for-sale consist of investments in sponsored mutual funds and privately offered equity funds. Sponsored mutual funds that are listed on an active exchange are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Investments in sponsored privately offered equity funds and portfolios that are not listed on an active exchange but have net asset values that are comparable to mutual funds and have no redemption restrictions are classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments, which include foreign exchange contracts, stock index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts, are recorded as either other assets or other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. Stock index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts are valued using a third-party pricing service that determines fair value based on bid and ask prices. Derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Assets of consolidated CLO entities

Assets of consolidated CLO entities include investments in money market funds, equity securities, debt securities, bank loans and warrants. Fair value is determined utilizing unadjusted quoted market prices when available. Investments in actively traded money market funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Equity securities, debt securities and warrants are valued using the same techniques as described above for trading 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 nature of the inputs, these assets are classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Securities sold, not yet purchased

Securities sold, not yet purchased, are recorded as other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and are valued by a third-party pricing service that determines fair value based on bid and ask prices. Securities sold, not yet purchased, are generally classified as Level 2 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Liabilities of consolidated CLO entities

Liabilities of consolidated CLO entities include debt securities, senior and subordinated note obligations and redeemable preferred shares. Debt securities are valued based upon quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data. Senior and subordinated notes and redeemable preferred shares are valued utilizing an income approach model in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the market. A full description of the valuation technique is included within the valuation process disclosure included below. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these liabilities are classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Transfers in and/or out of Levels

The following table summarizes fair value transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended

Transfers from Level 1 into Level 2⁽¹⁾	$	620	$	-
Transfers from Level 2 into Level 1⁽²⁾		38		1,611

⁽¹⁾

Transfers from Level 1 into Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy primarily represent debt and equity securities that were valued based on prices of similar securities because unadjusted quoted market prices were not available in the current period.

⁽²⁾

Transfers from Level 2 into Level 1 primarily represent debt and equity securities due to the availability of unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets.

Level 3 assets and liabilities

The following table shows a reconciliation of the beginning and ending fair value measurements of assets and liabilities that are valued on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

(1)

Substantially all net gains and losses on investments and note obligations and redeemable preferred shares attributable to the assets and borrowings of the Company's consolidated CLO entities are allocated to non-controlling and other beneficial interests on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

(2)

Transfers into Level 3 were the result of a reduction in the availability of significant observable inputs used in determining the fair value of the securities including a loan that utilized a discount applied to the demanded yield.

The following table shows the valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value measurement of Level 3 liabilities at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

⁽¹⁾

Discount rate refers to spread over LIBOR. Lower spreads relate to the more senior tranches in the CLO note structure; higher spreads relate to the less senior tranches. The default rate refers to the constant annual default rate. The recovery rate is the expected recovery of defaulted amounts received through asset sale or recovery through bankruptcy restructuring or other settlement processes. The prepayment rate is the rate at which the underlying collateral is expected to repay principal.

Valuation process

Senior and subordinated note obligations and redeemable preferred shares of the Company’s consolidated CLO entities are issued in various tranches with different risk profiles. The notes and redeemable preferred shares are valued on a quarterly basis by the Company’s bank loan investment team utilizing an income approach that projects the cash flows of the collateral assets using the team’s projected default rate, prepayment rate, recovery rate and discount rate, as well as observable assumptions about market yields, collateral reimbursement assumptions, callability and other market factors that vary based on the nature of the investments in the underlying collateral pool. Once the undiscounted cash flows of the collateral assets have been determined, the bank loan team applies appropriate discount rates that it believes a reasonable market participant would use to determine the discounted cash flow valuation of the notes and redeemable preferred shares. The bank loan team routinely monitors market conditions and model inputs for cyclical and secular changes in order to identify any material factors that could influence the Company’s valuation method. The bank loan team reports directly to the Chief Income Investment Officer.

Sensitivity to changes in significant unobservable inputs

For senior and subordinated notes and redeemable preferred shares issued by the Company’s consolidated CLO entities, increases (decreases) in discount rates, default rates or prepayment rates in isolation would result in lower (higher) fair value measurements, while increases (decreases) in recovery rates in isolation would result in higher (lower) fair value measurements. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for discount rates and a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used for prepayment and recovery rates.

Although the Company believes the valuation methods described above are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value could result in different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges

During the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company reclassified into interest expense $0.1 million of deferred gains related to a forward-starting interest rate swap in connection with the Company’s 2013 issuance of 3.625 percent ten-year Senior Notes due in June 2023. At January 31, 2014, the remaining unamortized gain on this transaction was $1.9 million. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $0.2 million of the gain into interest expense.

During the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company reclassified into interest expense $0.1 million of the loss on a Treasury lock transaction in connection with the Company’s 2007 issuance of ten-year 6.5 percent Senior Notes due in October 2017. At January 31, 2014, the remaining unamortized loss on this transaction was $0.8 million. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $0.2 million of the loss on the Treasury lock transaction into interest expense.

Other derivative financial instruments not designated for hedge accounting

The Company has entered into a series of foreign exchange contracts, stock index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts to hedge currency risk exposure and market risk associated with its investments in separately managed accounts and consolidated sponsored funds seeded for new product development purposes. Certain of these consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts may utilize derivative financial instruments within their portfolios in pursuit of their stated investment objectives.

At January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, excluding derivative financial instruments held in certain consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts, the Company had 95 and 42 foreign exchange contracts outstanding with five counterparties with an aggregate notional value of $72.0 million and $59.1 million, respectively; 2,585 and 2,711 stock index futures contracts outstanding with one counterparty with an aggregate notional value of $179.3 million and $200.7 million, respectively; and 276 and 217 commodity futures contracts outstanding with one counterparty with an aggregate notional value of $19.2 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The number of derivative contracts outstanding and the notional values they represent at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 are indicative of derivative balances throughout each respective period.

The following tables present the fair value of derivative financial instruments, excluding derivative financial instruments held in certain consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts, not designated as hedging instruments as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

Included in investments, other, is a non-controlling capital interest in ACM Holdings carried at $2.0 million. The Company’s interest in ACM Holdings is non-voting and entitles the Company to receive $2.0 million when put or call options for certain non-controlling interests of Atlanta Capital are exercised. The carrying value of this investment approximates fair value. Fair value of the investment is determined 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 this investment falls within Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Included in other assets is a five-year option to acquire an additional 26 percent interest in Hexavest. The $7.4 million carrying value of this option approximates fair value. The fair value of this option is determined using a Monte Carlo model, which simulates potential future market multiples of earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) and compares this to the contractually fixed multiple of Hexavest’s EBIT at which the option can be exercised. The Monte Carlo model uses this array of simulated multiples and their difference from the contractual multiple times the projected EBIT for Hexavest to estimate the future

exercise value of the option, which is then adjusted to present value. The fair value of this investment falls within Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy.

The fair value of the Company’s debt has been determined based on quoted prices in inactive markets and falls within Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Fair value measurements of other financial instruments of consolidated CLO entities

Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 was initially consolidated by the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 when the senior and subordinated note obligations and preferred shares of the entity were priced, although not issued. The Company did not elect the fair value option for the warehouse stage liabilities of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 upon initial consolidation, but did irrevocably elect the fair value option for the senior and subordinated note obligations and redeemable preferred shares that the entity issued at closing. The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the warehouse stage liabilities at October 31, 2013:

	October 31, 2013
(in thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Fair Value Level
Line of credit	$	247,789	$	247,789		2
Redeemable preferred shares	$	64,952	$	64,952		3

The line of credit was a non-recourse revolving facility that was used to fund purchases of portfolio investments in floating-rate bank loans during the warehouse phase of the entity, prior to the entity’s issuance of senior interests and preferred shares at closing. Advances under the line of credit were used to acquire bank loans, which were selected by the Company as portfolio manager and approved by the lender. Interest on the line of credit was calculated at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus a 140 basis point spread (1.57 percent at October 31, 2013). The LIBOR rate is considered a Level 2 observable input and the line of credit was classified within Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The line of credit was paid in full on November 13, 2013 when the entity issued its senior interests and preferred shares. Carrying value approximated fair value at October 31, 2013.

The redeemable preferred shares, which had a par value of $60.0 million, represent mandatorily redeemable first loss obligations of the entity. Although the redeemable preferred shares had certain equity characteristics, the Company determined that they should be recorded as liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at October 31, 2013. The redeemable preferred shares did not have a stated interest rate, but rather entitled the holder to a residual interest in the entity during the warehouse phase, representing the spread between the interest collected on the portfolio assets and the interest paid on the line of credit between entity inception and the issuance of senior interests and preferred shares at closing, net of administrative expenses, without limit. The redeemable preferred shares were classified within Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. At October 31, 2013, the redeemable preferred shares were carried at an estimated redemption value of $64.9 million (initial investment plus accrued residual interest of $4.9 million), which approximated fair value. The redeemable preferred shares were redeemed in full for $65.4 million upon the entity’s issuance of senior interests and preferred shares at closing on November 13, 2013.

8. VIEs

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains investments in sponsored CLO entities, sponsored funds and privately offered equity funds that are considered VIEs. These variable interests generally represent seed investments made by the Company, as collateral manager or investment advisor, to launch or market these vehicles. The Company receives management fees for the services it provides as collateral manager or investment advisor to these entities. These fees may also be considered variable interests.

Investments in VIEs that are consolidated

Sponsored funds

The Company invests in investment companies that meet the definition of a VIE. Disclosure regarding such consolidated sponsored funds is included in Note 3. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may elect to contractually waive investment advisory fees that it is entitled to receive from sponsored funds. Such waivers are disclosed in Note 19.

Consolidated CLO entities

The Company deems itself to be the primary beneficiary of two non-recourse CLO entities, Eaton Vance CLO IX and Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1. In developing its conclusion that it is the primary beneficiary of Eaton Vance CLO IX, the Company determined that it has a more than insignificant variable interest in the entity by virtue of its 8 percent residual interest and the presence of an incentive collateral management fee, which combined expose the Company to a more than insignificant amount of the entity’s variability relative to its anticipated economic performance. In developing its conclusion that it is the primary beneficiary of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1, the Company determined that it has a more than insignificant variable interest in the entity by virtue of its 20 percent residual interest in the entity. In addition, in its role as collateral manager of both entities, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities. In each case, the Company’s variable interests represent an obligation to absorb losses of or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. In consideration of these factors, the Company concluded that it was the primary beneficiary of these two CLO entities for consolidation accounting purposes.

The significance of the Company’s variable interests in these entities is greater than the significance of the Company’s investments in non-consolidated CLO entities in which the Company also holds variable interests and serves as collateral manager.

The assets of consolidated CLO entities are held solely as collateral to satisfy the obligations of the entities. The Company has no right to the benefits from, nor does the Company bear the risks associated with, the assets held by these CLO entities beyond the Company’s beneficial interest therein and management fees generated from the entities. The note holders and other creditors of the CLO entities have no recourse to the Company’s general assets. There are neither explicit arrangements nor does the Company hold implicit variable interests that would require the Company to provide any ongoing financial support to the entities.

Interest income and expense are recorded on an accrual basis and reported as gains (losses) and other investment income, net, and as interest expense in other income (expense), respectively, of the consolidated CLO entities on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. Substantially all ongoing gains (losses) related to the consolidated CLO entities’ bank loans, other investments and note obligations and redeemable preferred shares recorded in earnings for the periods presented are attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit considerations.

Eaton Vance CLO IX

The Company irrevocably elected the fair value option for all financial assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance CLO IX upon its initial consolidation on November 1, 2010. The Company elected the fair value option to mitigate any accounting mismatches between the carrying value of the senior and subordinated note obligations of Eaton Vance CLO IX and the carrying value of the assets that are held to provide the cash flows supporting those note obligations. Unrealized gains and losses on assets and liabilities for which the

fair value option has been elected are reported in gains (losses) and other investment income, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Although the subordinated note obligations of Eaton Vance CLO IX have certain equity characteristics, the Company has determined that the subordinated notes should be recorded as liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following tables present, as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the fair value of Eaton Vance CLO IX’s assets and liabilities that are subject to fair value accounting:

January 31, 2014

	CLO Bank Loan Investments
(in thousands)	Total CLO bank loan investments		90 days or more past due			Senior and subordinated note obligations
Unpaid principal balance	$	217,810	$	500		$	264,167
Unpaid principal balance (over) under fair value		1,141		(500	)		(13,901	)
Fair value	$	218,951	$	-		$	250,266

October 31, 2013

	CLO Bank Loan Investments
(in thousands)	Total CLO bank loan investments			90 days or more past due			Senior and subordinated note obligations
Unpaid principal balance	$	255,474		$	500		$	294,037
Unpaid principal balance over fair value		(364	)		(500	)		(14,910	)
Fair value	$	255,110		$	-		$	279,127

Changes in the fair values of Eaton Vance CLO IX’s bank loans and other investments resulted in net gains of $0.5 million in both the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, while changes in the fair value of Eaton Vance CLO IX’s note obligations resulted in net losses of $1.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The combined net losses of $0.5 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were recorded as gains and other investment income, net, of consolidated CLO entities in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for those periods.

Eaton Vance CLO IX has note obligations that bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread, which ranges from 0.21 percent to 1.50 percent. The principal amounts outstanding of the note obligations issued by Eaton Vance CLO IX mature on April 20, 2019. It is expected that prepayments received will be used to pay down the entity’s note obligations. During the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, $29.9 million and $38.6 million, respectively, of prepayments were used to pay down the entity’s note obligations. The holders of a majority of the subordinated notes have the option to liquidate Eaton Vance CLO IX, provided there is sufficient value to repay the senior notes in full.

For the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded net income of $0.3 million and a net loss of $2.5 million, respectively, related to Eaton Vance CLO IX. The Company recorded net losses attributable to other beneficial interests of $0.6 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders was $0.8 million for each of the three month periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.

The following carrying amounts related to Eaton Vance CLO IX were included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

	January 31,		October 31,
(in thousands)	2014		2013
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	33,955	$	30,462
Bank loans and other investments		224,207		261,529
Other assets		1,221		514
Liabilities:
Senior and subordinated note obligations		250,266		279,127
Other liabilities		375		4,046
Appropriated retained earnings		7,062		7,618
Net interest in Eaton Vance CLO IX	$	1,680	$	1,714

The Company had a subordinated interest in Eaton Vance CLO IX of $1.4 million and $1.5 million as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively, which was eliminated in consolidation.

Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1

Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 began as a warehouse stage CLO in December 2012. During the warehouse phase, all of the subordinated interests of the entity in the form of redeemable preferred shares were controlled by affiliates of an investment manager unrelated to the Company. The Company irrevocably elected the fair value option for measurement of substantially all financial assets of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 upon its initial consolidation on October 11, 2013, when the senior note obligations and redeemable preferred shares of the CLO were priced. At pricing, the Company entered into a trade commitment to acquire 20 percent of the redeemable preferred shares of the entity to be issued at closing on November 13, 2013, representing a variable, although not beneficial, interest in the entity as of October 31, 2013.

The Company did not elect the fair value option on the warehouse line of credit and redeemable preferred shares at pricing, as these liabilities were temporary in nature. The warehouse line of credit and the redeemable preferred shares were extinguished, and new senior note obligations and redeemable preferred shares were issued at closing on November 13, 2013. The Company irrevocably elected the fair value option for the senior note obligations and redeemable preferred shares of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 upon their issuance.

The Company elected the fair value option in these instances to mitigate any accounting mismatches between the carrying value of the new senior note obligations and redeemable preferred shares of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 and the carrying value of the assets that are held to provide the cash flows for those beneficial interests. Unrealized gains and losses on assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in gains (losses) and other investment income, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three months ended January 31, 2014, approximately $4.8 million of organizational and structuring costs associated with the closing of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 were recorded in interest and other expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The following table presents, as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the fair value of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1’s assets and liabilities that are subject to fair value accounting:

January 31, 2014

	CLO Bank Loan Investments
(in thousands)	Total CLO bank loan investments		90 days or more past due		Senior note obligations and redeemable preferred shares
Unpaid principal balance	$	414,160	$	-	$	421,523

Unpaid principal balance under fair value		2,322		-
Fair value	$	424,152	$	-

During the three months ended January 31, 2014, the change in the fair value of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1’s bank loans and other investments resulted in net gains of $0.3 million, while changes in the fair value of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1’s note obligations resulted in net gains of $3.2 million. The combined net gains of $3.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2014 were recorded as gains and other investment income, net, of consolidated CLO entities in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income.

Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 has note obligations that bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread, which ranges from 1.36 percent to 5.75 percent. The principal amounts outstanding of the note obligations issued by Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 mature on November 13, 2024. Prepayments received on bank loans and other investments by Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 prior to November 2017 will be reinvested.

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company recorded net income of $0.5 million, related to Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1. The Company recorded net losses attributable to other beneficial interests of $0.3 million for the three months ended January 31, 2014. Net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders was $0.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2014.

The following carrying amounts related to Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 were included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013:

	January 31,		October 31,
(in thousands)	2014		2013

As of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, other liabilities included $15.9 million and $118.2 million, respectively, due to brokers for collateral asset purchases.

The Company had a subordinated interest in Eaton Vance CLO 2013-1 of $8.0 million as of January 31, 2014, which was eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in VIEs that are not consolidated

Sponsored funds

The Company classifies its investments in certain sponsored funds that are considered VIEs as either equity method investments (generally when the Company owns more than 20 percent but less than 50 percent of the fund) or as available-for-sale investments (generally when the Company owns less than 20 percent of the fund) when it is not considered the primary beneficiary of those VIEs. The Company provides aggregated disclosures with respect to these non-consolidated sponsored fund VIEs in Note 4.

Non-consolidated CLO entities

The Company is not deemed the primary beneficiary of several CLO entities in which it holds variable interests. In its role as collateral manager, the Company often has the power to direct the activities of the CLO entities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. In developing its conclusion that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities, the Company determined that, for certain of these entities, although it has variable interests in each by virtue of its residual interests therein and the collateral management fees it receives, its variable 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. Quantitative factors supporting the Company’s qualitative conclusion in each case included the relative size of the Company’s residual interest (in all but one instance representing less than 6 percent of the residual interest tranche and less than 1 percent of the total capital of the entity) and the overall magnitude and design of the collateral management fees within each structure.

At January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the Company held a 16.7 percent subordinated interest in a warehouse stage CLO entity, Eaton Vance CLO 2013-A. The Company has determined that it does not hold the power to direct the activities of Eaton Vance CLO 2013-A during the warehouse stage of the entity as that power is shared with the majority holder of the equity during this stage. As a result, the Company did not consolidate this entity as of either January 31, 2014 or October 31, 2013.

Non-consolidated CLO entities had total assets of $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. The Company’s variable interests in these entities consist of the Company’s direct ownership in these entities and any collateral management fees earned but uncollected. The

Company’s investment in these entities totaled $5.4 million as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. Collateral management fees receivable for these CLO entities totaled $2.1 million on January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. In the first three months of fiscal 2014, the Company did not provide any financial or other support to these entities that it was not contractually required to provide. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to these managed CLO entities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and collateral management fees receivable from, the CLO entities as of January 31, 2014.

The Company’s investment in non-consolidated CLO entities is carried at amortized cost and is disclosed as a component of investments in Note 4. Income from these entities is recorded as a component of gains and other investment income, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, based upon projected investment yields.

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 $9.7 billion and $9.8 billion as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. The Company has determined that these entities qualify for the Investment Company deferral and thus determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of these entities by virtue of its exposure to the expected losses and expected residual returns of the entity. 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 held investments in these entities totaling $5.7 million and $5.6 million on January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively, and investment advisory fees receivable totaling $0.5 million on January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. In the first three months of fiscal 2013, the Company did not provide any financial or other support to these entities that it was not contractually required to provide. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to these managed entities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and investment advisory fees receivable from, the entities as of January 31, 2014. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it does not hold the majority of the risks and rewards of ownership.

The Company’s investments in privately offered equity funds are carried at fair value and included in investment securities, available-for-sale, which are disclosed as a component of investments in Note 4. The Company records any change in fair value, net of income tax, in other comprehensive income (loss).

9. Acquisitions

Parametric Risk Advisors LLC (“Parametric Risk Advisors”)

On November 1, 2013, the non-controlling interest holders of Parametric Risk Advisors entered into a Unit Acquisition Agreement with Parametric Portfolio Associates (“Parametric”) to exchange their remaining ownership interests in Parametric Risk Advisors (representing a 20 percent ownership interest in the entity) for additional ownership interests in Parametric Portfolio LP (“PP LP”), whose sole asset is ownership interests in Parametric. The PP LP ownership interests acquired in the exchange contain put and call features that become exercisable over a four-year period starting in 2018. As a result of this exchange, Parametric Risk Advisors became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parametric.

Atlanta Capital

In fiscal 2013, the Company exercised a call option requiring the non-controlling interest holders of Atlanta Capital to sell a 3.4 percent profit interest and a 0.2 percent capital interest in Atlanta Capital to the Company for $12.8 million. In addition, the non-controlling interest holders of Atlanta Capital exercised a put option requiring the Company to purchase an additional 3.8 percent profit interest and a 0.3 percent capital interest in Atlanta Capital for $14.1 million. The purchase price of these transactions was based on a multiple of earnings before taxes based on the financial results of Atlanta Capital for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013. Upon the execution of the call and put options, the Company reduced redeemable non-controlling interests and recorded a liability within other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The transactions settled in December 2013 and increased the Company’s capital ownership interest

in Atlanta Capital from 99.4 percent to 99.9 percent and increased the Company’s profit ownership interest from 80.3 percent to 87.5 percent.

The total income tax benefit recognized for stock-based compensation arrangements was $5.3 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Omnibus Incentive Plans

2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“the 2013 Plan”)

On October 23, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the 2013 Plan to replace the 2008 Plan. The 2013 Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board, allows for awards of stock options, restricted shares and phantom stock units to eligible employees and non-employee Directors. Options to purchase Non-Voting Common Stock granted under the 2013 Plan expire ten years from the date of grant, vest over five years and may not be granted with an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the stock as of the close of business on the date of grant. Restricted shares of Non-Voting Common Stock granted under the 2013 Plan vest over five years and may be subject to performance goals. These performance goals generally relate to the achievement of specified levels of adjusted operating income. Phantom stock units granted under the 2013 Plan vest over two years. The 2013 Plan contains change in control provisions that may accelerate the vesting of awards. A total of 12.5 million shares of Non-Voting Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan. Through January 31, 2014, 0.9 million restricted shares and options to purchase 1.7 million shares have been issued pursuant to the 2013 Plan.

2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“the 2008 Plan”)

Options to purchase Non-Voting Common Stock previously granted under the 2008 Plan expire ten years from the date of grant, vest over five years and were granted with an exercise price that was not less than the fair market value of the stock as of the close of business on the date of grant. Restricted shares of Non-Voting Common Stock granted under the 2008 Plan vest over five years and may be subject to performance goals. These performance goals generally relate to the achievement of specified levels of adjusted operating income. Phantom stock units granted under the 2008 Plan vest over two years. The 2008 Plan contains change in control provisions that may accelerate the vesting of awards. A total of 19.8 million shares of Non-Voting Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan. Through January 31, 2014, after giving effect to certain anti-dilution adjustments made in connection with the special dividend declared and paid in December 2012, 6.3 million restricted shares and options to purchase 14.5 million shares have been issued pursuant to the 2008 Plan.

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporates assumptions as to dividend yield, volatility, an appropriate risk-free interest rate and the expected life of the option. Many of these assumptions require management’s judgment. The Company’s stock volatility assumption is based upon its historical stock price fluctuations. The Company uses historical data to estimate option forfeiture rates and the expected term of options granted. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant.

The weighted-average fair value per share of stock options granted during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows:

	2014			2013
Weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted	$	13.35		$	7.67

Assumptions:
Dividend yield		2.1	%		2.8% to 5.5	%
Volatility		36% to 37	%		36	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.1% to 2.4	%		1.2% to 1.3	%
Expected life of options		6.9 years			7.1 years

Stock option transactions under the 2013 Plan and predecessor plans for the three months ended January 31, 2014 are summarized in the below table.

(share and intrinsic value figures in thousands)	Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

The Company received $23.4 million and $56.6 million related to the exercise of options for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Options exercised represent newly issued shares. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 was $19.3 million and $35.3 million, respectively. The total fair value of options that vested during the three months ended January 31, 2014 was $19.0 million.

As of January 31, 2014, there was $44.7 million of compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted not yet recognized. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

Restricted Shares

The Company’s restricted share awards are generally subject to graduated vesting schedules. Compensation expense is adjusted for estimated forfeitures and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service

periods underlying the awards. As of January 31, 2014, there was $99.7 million of compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years.

A summary of the Company's restricted share activity for the three months ended January 31, 2014 under the 2013 Plan and predecessor plans are summarized in the below table:

				Weighted-
				Average
				Grant
				Date Fair
(share figures in thousands)	Shares			Value
Unvested, beginning of period		3,911		$	27.60

Vested		(1,139	)		27.21
Forfeited		(38	)		29.40
Unvested, end of period		3,809		$	31.73

The total fair value of restricted stock vested during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 was $31.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively.

Phantom Stock Units

In the three months ended January 31, 2014, 6,050 phantom stock units were issued to non-employee Directors pursuant to the 2013 Plan. Because these units are contingently forfeitable, compensation expense is recorded over the forfeiture period. The total liability paid out associated with phantom stock during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of January 31, 2014, there was $0.3 million of compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

12. Common Stock Repurchases

The Company’s current share repurchase program was announced on January 15, 2014. The Board authorized management to repurchase and retire up to 8.0 million shares of its Non-Voting Common Stock on the open market and in private transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and amount of share purchases are subject to management’s discretion. The Company’s share repurchase program is not subject to an expiration date.

In the first three months of fiscal 2014, the Company purchased and retired approximately 0.2 million shares of its Non-Voting Common Stock under the current repurchase authorization and approximately 0.9 million shares under a previous repurchase authorization. Approximately 7.8 million additional shares may be repurchased under the current authorization.

13. Non-operating Income (Expense)

The components of non-operating income (expense) for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

14. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $44.6 million and $35.9 million, or 37.8 percent and 37.9 percent of pre-tax income, for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The provision for income taxes in the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 is comprised of federal, state, and foreign taxes. The primary differences between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory federal rate of 35.0 percent are state income taxes, income and losses recognized by the consolidated CLO entities, other non-controlling interests and the tax benefit of disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options.

The Company records a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. There was no valuation allowance recorded as of January 31, 2014 or October 31, 2013.

The Company is currently under audit by several states. The tax authority of one state previously provided the Company with draft work papers challenging a tax position in the Company’s previously filed tax returns. During fiscal year 2013, the state’s tax authority and the Company agreed to settle all matters relating to the tax authority's audit of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2004 through October 31, 2009 in exchange for a lump sum payment of $19.6 million. The $19.6 million payment resulted in a net increase to income tax expense in fiscal year 2013 of $6.7 million, equal to the amount of the payment less previously recorded reserves of $9.3 million and a federal tax benefit on the increased state tax of $3.6 million.

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 2010; however, the Company is currently under audit by several states and has extended the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2007-2009 to enable these states to complete their audits.

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 managed and/or advised by Eaton Vance Management or Boston Management and Research, both 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.

In July 2006, the Company committed to invest $15.0 million in a private equity partnership that invests in companies in the financial services industry. The Company has invested $14.2 million of the total $15.0

million of committed capital at January 31, 2014. The Company anticipates the remaining $0.8 million will likely be invested by March 2015.

The Company has entered into transactions in financial instruments in which it has sold securities, not yet purchased as part of its corporate hedging program. As of January 31, 2014, the Company has $0.7 million included within other liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet related to securities sold, not yet purchased.

Related Party Transactions

Sponsored Funds

The Company is an investment advisor to, and has administrative agreements with, certain sponsored funds, privately offered equity funds and closed end funds for which certain employees are officers and/or directors. Substantially all of the services to these entities for which the Company earns a fee, including investment advisory, distribution, shareholder and administrative services, are provided under contracts that set forth the services to be provided and the fees to be charged. These contracts are subject to annual review and approval by the funds’ boards of directors or trustees. Revenues for services provided or related to these funds for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	January 31,

Total	$	278,331	$	244,070

For the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had investment advisory agreements with certain sponsored funds pursuant to which the Company contractually waived $2.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of investment advisory fees it was otherwise entitled to receive.

The Company bears the non-advisory expenses of certain sponsored funds for which it earns an all-in management fee and provides subsidies to startup and other smaller sponsored funds to enhance their competitiveness. For the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, expenses of $5.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, were incurred by the Company pursuant to these arrangements.

Included in investment advisory and other receivables at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 are receivables due from sponsored funds of $96.1 million and $94.0 million, 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 5.0 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, 2014. Loans outstanding under this program, which are full recourse in nature, are reflected as notes receivable from stock option exercises in shareholders’ equity and amounted to $7.0 million and $7.1 million at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively.

General

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 products and services through multiple distribution channels. In executing this strategy, we have developed broadly diversified investment management capabilities and a powerful marketing, distribution and customer service organization. Although we manage and distribute a wide range of investment products and services, we operate in one business segment, namely as an investment adviser to funds and separate accounts.

Through our subsidiaries Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”) and Atlanta Capital Management, LLC (“Atlanta Capital”) and 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 our subsidiary Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”) we manage a range of engineered alpha strategies, including systematic equity, systematic alternatives and managed options strategies, and provide portfolio implementation services, including tax-managed core and specialty index strategies, futures- and options-based portfolio overlay, and centralized portfolio management of multi-manager portfolios. We also oversee the management of investment funds sub-advised by third-party managers, including global, regional and sector equity, commodity and asset allocation strategies. Our breadth of investment management capabilities supports a wide range of products 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 and credit quality range and encompass both taxable and tax-free investments. We also offer a range of alternative investment strategies, including commodity-based investments and a spectrum of absolute return strategies. As of January 31, 2014, we had $278.6 billion in assets under management.

Our principal retail marketing strategy is to distribute funds and separately managed accounts through financial intermediaries in the advice channel. We have a broad reach in this marketplace, with distribution partners including national and regional broker-dealers, independent broker-dealers, independent financial advisory firms, banks and insurance companies. We support these distribution partners with a team of approximately 135 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. Through our wholly 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 investment advisory, administrative, distribution and service fees received from Eaton Vance funds and investment advisory 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, facilities expense and information technology expense.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations 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.

Business Developments

Prevailing market conditions affect our managed asset levels, operating results and the recoverability of our investments. The Company’s ending consolidated assets under management decreased by $2.1 billion, or 1 percent, in the first quarter to $278.6 billion on January 31, 2014, reflecting net outflows and market price declines, most notably in emerging market strategies. Net outflows for the first quarter were concentrated in global income and alternatives, large-cap value equity, managed options and municipal bond mandates. Notable sources of net inflows for the quarter included floating-rate income and high yield bond mandates and implementation services. Average consolidated assets under management increased from the prior quarter by $10.9 billion, or 4 percent, to $282.3 billion in the first quarter.

Our overall average effective fee rate decreased to 51 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from 59 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, reflecting the full impact of the Clifton acquisition, which was completed on December 31, 2012. Our average effective investment advisory and administrative fee rate decreased to 43 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from 49 basis points in the first quarter of last year. The primary driver of our overall average effective fee rate continues to be the mix of assets by distribution channel and mandate and the timing of the recognition of performance fees.

Consolidated Assets under Management

Consolidated assets under management of $278.6 billion on January 31, 2014 increased $30.8 billion, or 12 percent from the $247.8 billion reported a year earlier. Consolidated assets under management on January 31, 2014 included $132.0 billion in long-term funds, $94.9 billion in institutional separate accounts, $19.4 billion in high-net-worth separate accounts, $32.1 billion in retail managed accounts and $0.2 billion in cash management fund assets. Long-term fund net inflows of $11.4 billion over the last twelve months reflect gross inflows of $44.8 billion offset by outflows of $33.4 billion. Institutional separate account net inflows were $5.9 billion, high-net-worth separate account net inflows were $0.5 billion and retail managed account net inflows were $0.5

billion over the past twelve months. Net price appreciation in managed assets increased assets under management by $12.6 million over the last twelve months.

We report managed assets and flow data by investment mandate. The “Alternative” category includes a range of absolute return strategies, as well as commodity- and currency-linked investments. The “Implementation Services” category reflects the distinctive attributes of Parametric’s tax-managed core, centralized portfolio management and specialty index business lines as well as their futures- and options-based overlay and exposure management services.

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.

We define adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share as net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and earnings per diluted share, respectively,

adjusted to exclude changes in the estimated redemption value of non-controlling interests redeemable at other than fair value (“non-controlling interest value adjustments”), closed-end fund structuring fees and other items management deems non-recurring (such as the impact of special dividends, costs associated with the extinguishment of debt and tax settlements) or non-operating in nature. Adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share should not be construed to be a substitute for, or superior to, net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and earnings per diluted share computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We provide disclosures of adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share to reflect the fact that our management and Board of Directors consider these adjusted numbers a measure of the Company’s underlying operating performance.

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, for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

Reflects the impact of the special dividend paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due to the disproportionate allocation of distributions in excess of earnings to common shareholders under the two-class method.

We reported net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $71.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $49.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. We reported adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $73.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders of $60.5 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The change in net income and, with certain exceptions, adjusted net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders can be primarily attributed to the following:

An increase in revenue of $41.7 million, or 13 percent, primarily due to a 31 percent increase in average assets under management, offset by a decrease in our annualized effective fee rate to 51 basis points in

the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from 59 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as a result of the change in asset mix resulting from the Clifton acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the timing of the recognition of performance fees.

An increase in expenses of $18.2 million, or 8 percent, reflecting increases in compensation, distribution and service fees, amortization of deferred sales commissions, fund-related and other expenses.

A $4.8 million decrease in gains and other investment income, primarily due to a decrease in investment gains recognized on our seed capital portfolio.

A decrease of $1.2 million in interest expense, reflecting the retirement of $250 million of our 6.5 percent Senior Notes due 2017 and the contemporaneous issuance of $325 million of 3.625 percent Senior Notes due 2023 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

A $3.3 million increase other income (expense) of the Company’s consolidated CLO entities reflecting an improvement in the performance of the consolidated CLO entities.

An increase in income taxes of $8.7 million, or 24 percent, reflecting the increase in the Company’s income before taxes. Consolidated CLO entity income that is allocated to other beneficial interest holders is not subject to tax in the Company’s provision.

A decrease in net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests of $6.9 million, primarily reflecting a decrease in non-controlling interest value adjustments offset by a decrease in consolidated CLO entity net losses attributable to other beneficial holders.

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding increased by 5.4 million shares, or 5 percent, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 over the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The change reflects an increase in the total number of shares outstanding due to the exercise of employee stock options and an increase in the dilutive effect of in-the-money options resulting from the 30 percent increase in the average share price over the prior year period.

Revenue

Our overall average effective fee rate (total revenue, excluding other revenue, as a percentage of average assets under management) was 51 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 59 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. As noted above, the decrease in our average overall effective fee rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013 can be primarily attributed to the full quarter impact of the acquisition of Clifton, whose business operates at a significantly lower average effective fee rate, and a decrease in performance fees recognized, as discussed in more detail below.

The following table shows our investment advisory and administrative fees, distribution and underwriter fees, service fees and other revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended
	January 31,				%
(in thousands)	2014		2013		Change

Investment advisory and administrative fees	$	304,713	$	263,281		16	%

Service fees		32,291		31,130		4	%
Other revenue		1,636		1,355		21	%
Total revenue	$	360,261	$	318,517		13	%

Investment advisory and administrative fees

Investment advisory and administrative fees are determined by contractual agreements with our sponsored funds and separate accounts, and are generally based upon a percentage of the market value of assets under

management. Net asset flows and changes in the market value of managed assets affect the amount of managed assets on which investment advisory and administrative fees are earned, while changes in asset mix among different investment mandates and products affect our average effective fee rate. Investment advisory and administrative fees represented 85 percent of total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 83 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

The increase in investment advisory and administrative fees of 16 percent, or $41.4 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from the same period a year earlier can be primarily attributed to the 31 percent increase in average assets under management offset by a decline in our effective fee rate. The increase in average assets reflects strong organic growth over the last twelve months as well as the impact of the Clifton acquisition, which added $34.8 billion of primarily lower-fee implementation services to our consolidated assets under management. The decrease in our effective investment advisory and administrative fee rate to 43 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from 49 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 reflects both the full quarter impact of the Clifton acquisition on product mix and a decrease in performance fees, which totaled approximately $140,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $1.6 million in the first quarter of last year.

Distribution and underwriter fees

Distribution plan payments, which are made under contractual agreements with certain share classes of our sponsored funds and private funds, are calculated as a percentage of average assets under management. These fees fluctuate with both the level of average assets under management and the relative mix of assets. Underwriter commissions are earned on the sale of shares of our sponsored mutual funds on which investors pay a sales charge at the time of purchase (Class A share sales). Sales charges and underwriter commissions are waived or reduced on shareholder purchases that exceed specified minimum amounts and on certain categories of investors. Underwriter commissions fluctuate with the level of Class A share sales and the mix of Class A shares offered with and without sales charges.

Distribution plan payments decreased 1 percent, or $0.3 million, to $19.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from the same period a year earlier, reflecting decreases in average Class B fund distribution fees, offset by an increase in average Class A, Class R and certain private fund distribution fees.

The following table shows the total distribution payments with respect to our Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and private equity funds for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended
	January 31,				%
(in thousands)	2014		2013		Change

Class A	$	332	$	212		57	%
Class B		1,016		1,553		-35	%

Private funds		959		895		7	%
Total distribution plan payments	$	19,809	$	20,073		-1	%

Underwriter fees and other distribution income decreased to $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 32 percent, or $0.9 million, over the same period a year earlier, primarily reflecting an decrease of $0.6 million in underwriter fees received on sales of Class A shares and a decrease of $0.4 million in contingent deferred sales charges received on certain Class A share redemptions.

Service fees

Service fees, which are paid to EVD pursuant to distribution or service plans adopted by our sponsored mutual funds, are calculated as a percent of average assets under management in specific mutual fund share classes (principally Classes A, B, C, N and R). Certain private funds also make service fee payments to EVD. Service fees are paid to EVD as principal underwriter or placement agent to the funds for service and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Service fee revenue increased 4 percent, or $1.2 million, to $32.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from the same period a year earlier, primarily reflecting a 6 percent increase in average assets under management in funds and classes of funds subject to service fees.

Other revenue

Other revenue, which consists primarily of sub-transfer agent fees, miscellaneous dealer income, custody fees, Hexavest-related distribution and service revenue, and sublease income, increased by $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 over the same period a year ago, primarily reflecting an increase in Hexavest-related revenue.

Operating expenses increased by 8 percent, or $18.2 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from the same period a year earlier, reflecting increases in compensation, distribution and service fees, amortization of deferred sales commissions, fund-related and other expenses as more fully described below.

The following table shows our operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended

Compensation and related costs

Compensation expense increased by $10.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from the same quarter a year earlier, reflecting increases in operating income-based incentives, base salaries and benefits and stock-based compensation, offset by decreases in sales-based incentives and other compensation.

The following table shows our compensation and related costs for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended
	January 31,				%
(in thousands)	2014		2013		Change
Base salaries and employee benefits	$	51,845	$	46,495		12	%
Stock-based compensation		14,872		14,167		5	%
Operating income-based incentives		36,668		30,752		19	%
Sales and revenue-based incentives		14,068		15,590		-10	%
Other compensation expense		1,369		1,825		-25	%
Total	$	118,822	$	108,829		9	%

Base salaries and employee benefits increased by 12 percent, or $5.4 million, primarily reflecting an increase in base compensation associated with higher headcount and annual merit increases, and an increase in employee benefits and payroll taxes. Stock-based compensation increased by 5 percent, or $0.7 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, reflecting increases in headcount and expenses associated with subsidiary long-term equity plans. Operating-income based incentives increased by 19 percent, or $5.9 million, primarily reflecting an increase in pre-bonus adjusted operating income. Sales and revenue-based incentives decreased by 10 percent, or $1.5 million, primarily due to the decrease in gross sales on which sales-based incentives are paid. Other compensation expense decreased by 25 percent, or $0.5 million, reflecting reduced severance costs and sign-on bonuses.

Distribution expense

Distribution expense consists primarily of commissions paid to broker-dealers on the sale of Class A shares at net asset value, ongoing asset-based payments made to distribution partners pursuant to third-party distribution arrangements for certain Class C share and closed-end funds, marketing support arrangements to distribution partners and other discretionary marketing expenses.

The following table shows our distribution expense for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended
	January 31,				%
(in thousands)	2014		2013		Change
Class A share commissions	$	1,163	$	2,195		-47	%
Class C share distribution fees		13,445		13,823		-3	%
Closed-end fund dealer compensation payments		4,690		4,330		8	%
Intermediary marketing support payments		11,810		9,740		21	%
Discretionary marketing expenses		4,440		3,801		17	%
Total	$	35,548	$	33,889		5	%

Class A share commissions decreased by 47 percent, or $1.0 million, reflecting a decrease in certain Class A sales on which we pay a commission. Class C share distribution fees decreased by 3 percent, or $0.4 million, reflecting a decrease in Class C share assets held more than one year on which these fees are based. Closed-end fund dealer compensation payments increased 8 percent, or $0.4 million, reflecting an increase in average assets under management subject to those arrangements. Marketing expenses associated with intermediary marketing support payments to our distribution partners increased by 21 percent, or $2.1 million, reflecting increases in average assets subject to those arrangements. Discretionary marketing expenses increased by 17 percent, or $0.6 million, primarily reflecting an increase in the use of outside agencies.

Service fee expense

Service fees we receive from sponsored funds are generally retained in the first year and paid to broker-dealers thereafter pursuant to third-party service arrangements. These fees are calculated as a percent of average assets under management in certain share classes of our mutual funds (principally Classes A, B, C, N and R), as well as certain private funds. Service fee expense increased by 3 percent, or $0.9 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from the same quarter a year earlier, reflecting an increase in average assets retained more than one year in funds and share classes that are subject to service fees.

Amortization of deferred sales commissions

Amortization expense is affected by ongoing sales and redemptions of mutual fund Class C shares and certain private funds and redemptions of Class B shares. Amortization expense increased 4 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from the same period a year earlier, primarily reflecting an increase in average Class C shares’ deferred sales commissions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, 10 percent of total amortization related to Class B shares, 84 percent to Class C shares and 6 percent to privately offered equity funds. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, 24 percent of total amortization related to Class B shares, 69 percent to Class C shares and 7 percent to privately offered equity funds.

Fund-related expenses

Fund-related expenses consist primarily of fees paid to sub-advisors, compliance costs and other fund-related expenses we incur. Fund-related expenses increased 14 percent, or $1.0 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 over the same period a year earlier, primarily reflecting an increase in sub-advisory expenses associated with the use of unaffiliated sub-advisors for certain funds and an increase in other fund-related expenses.

Other expenses

Other expenses consist primarily of travel, facilities, information technology, professional services, communications and other miscellaneous corporate expenses, including the amortization of intangible assets.

The following table shows our other expense for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended
	January 31,				%
(in thousands)	2014		2013		Change
Travel	$	3,990	$	3,271		22	%
Communications		1,167		1,240		-6	%
Information technology		15,354		12,101		27	%
Professional services		3,341		2,976		12	%
Facilities-related		9,714		9,933		-2	%
Other corporate expense		5,497		5,127		7	%
Total	$	39,063	$	34,648		13	%

Other expenses increased by 13 percent, or $4.4 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from the same period a year earlier, primarily reflecting increases in information technology expense of $3.3 million, travel expense of $0.7 million, professional services expense of $0.4 million, and other corporate expenses of $0.4 million, offset by a decrease in facilities-related expenses of $0.2 million. The increase in information technology expense can be attributed to increases in software licensing and maintenance, market data and other information technology consulting expenses. The increase in travel expense relates to an overall increase in travel activity in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in professional services expense can be attributed to an increase in recruiting costs offset by a decrease in costs associated with corporate consulting engagements. The increase in other

corporate expenses reflects increases in charitable giving and the amortization of intangibles assets related to the Clifton acquisition. The decrease in facilities-related expenses can be primarily attributed to a decrease in depreciation expense.

Non-operating Income (Expense)

	Three Months Ended
	January 31,						%
(in thousands)	2014			2013			Change
Gains and other investment income, net	$	413		$	5,207			-92	%
Interest expense		(7,400	)		(8,570	)		-14	%
Other income (expense) of consolidated CLO entities:
Gains and other investment income, net		8,709			1,793			386	%

Total non-operating (expense) income	$	(6,113	)	$	(5,791	)		6	%

Gains and other investment income, net, declined 92 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the same period a year ago, primarily reflecting a decline in gains recognized on our seed capital investments.

Interest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 14 percent, reflecting the retirement of $250 million of our 6.5 percent Senior Notes due 2017 and the contemporaneous issuance of $325 million of 3.625 percent Senior Notes due 2023 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Net income of our consolidated CLO entities totaled $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, representing $0.9 million of other income and $0.1 million of other operating expenses. Approximately $0.3 million of consolidated CLO entity net losses were included in net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests, reflecting third-party note holders’ proportionate interests in the net income (loss) of each entity. Net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders included $1.0 million of income associated with consolidated CLO entities in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, representing management fees earned by the Company, offset by the Company’s proportionate interest in the net income (losses) of the entities.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate, calculated as income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliates, was 37.8 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 37.9 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Excluding the effect of the consolidated CLO entities’ net income (loss) allocated to other beneficial interest holders, our effective tax rate would have been 37.7 percent and 36.7 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Our policy for accounting for income taxes includes monitoring our business activities and tax policies for compliance with federal, state and foreign tax laws. In the ordinary course of business, various taxing authorities may not agree with certain tax positions we have taken, or applicable law may not be clear. We periodically review these tax positions and provide for and adjust as necessary estimated liabilities relating to such positions as part of our overall tax provision.

Equity in Net Income of Affiliates, Net of Tax

Equity in net income of affiliates, net of tax, for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 primarily reflects our 49 percent equity interest in Hexavest, our 7 percent minority equity interest in a private equity partnership managed by a third party and equity interests in certain funds we sponsor or manage, most notably Eaton Vance Focused

Growth Opportunities Fund, Eaton Vance Focused Value Opportunities Fund, Eaton Vance Municipal Opportunities Fund, Eaton Vance Atlanta Capital Management Select Equity Fund, Eaton Vance Real Estate Fund, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long-Term Fund and Eaton Vance Currency Income Advantage Fund. Equity in net income of affiliates, net of tax, increased by $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 over the same period a year earlier, primarily reflecting an increase in the Company’s proportionate net interest in the earnings of Hexavest offset by decreases in the Company’s proportionate net interests in the earnings of the private equity partnership and sponsored funds accounted for under the equity method.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling and Other Beneficial Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests decreased by $7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from the same period a year earlier, reflecting an $8.3 million decrease in non-controlling interest value adjustments related to our majority owned subsidiaries and a $1.7 million decrease in net income attributable to non-controlling interest holders in the Company’s consolidated funds and majority owned subsidiaries, offset by a $3.0 million decrease in net losses attributable to other beneficial interest holders in the Company’s consolidated CLO entities.

Net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests is not adjusted for taxes due to the underlying tax status of our consolidated subsidiaries. Parametric Risk Advisors LLC (“Parametric Risk Advisors”) and Atlanta Capital Management Company LLC (“Atlanta Capital”) are limited liability companies that are treated as partnerships for tax purposes. Funds and the CLO entities we consolidate are registered investment companies or private funds that are treated as pass-through entities for tax purposes. Effective November 1, 2013 Parametric Risk Advisors income and expenses are recorded in Parametric’s tax filings.

Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The assets and liabilities of consolidated CLO entities do not affect our liquidity or capital resources. The collateral assets of consolidated CLO entities are held solely to satisfy the obligations of the entities, and we have no right to these assets beyond our direct investment in and management fees generated from the entities, both of which are eliminated in consolidation. The note holders of the CLO entities have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. As a result, the assets and liabilities of 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 on January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 and the uses of cash for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and investment advisory fees and other receivables. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash. Investment advisory fees and other receivables primarily represent receivables due from sponsored funds and separately managed accounts for investment advisory and distribution services provided. Liquid assets represented 33 percent and 38 percent of total assets on January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively, excluding those assets identified as assets of consolidated CLO entities. The Company’s seed investments in consolidated funds and separate accounts as well as $91.6 million and $20.1 million of cash management assets as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively, are not treated as liquid assets because they may be longer term in nature.

The $101.7 million decrease in liquid assets in the first three months of fiscal 2014 primarily reflects net cash used for operating activities of $170.9 million, the payment of $26.7 million of dividends to shareholders, the repurchase of $43.5 million of Non-Voting Common Stock, the payment of $26.9 million to acquire additional interests in Atlanta Capital, offset by proceeds from the issuance of Non-Voting Common Stock of $26.1 million and the $137.8 million impact of consolidated CLO entity’s investing and financing activities.

On January 31, 2014, our debt consisted of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 2017 Senior Notes and $325 million in aggregate principal amount of 2023 Senior Notes. We also maintain a $300.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with several banks that expires on June 4, 2015. The facility 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 January 31, 2014 or at any point during the fiscal quarter. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of January 31, 2014.

We continue to monitor our liquidity daily. We remain committed to growing our business and expect that our main uses of cash will be seed investments in new products, acquire shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock, pay dividends, make strategic acquisitions, enhance technology infrastructure and pay the operating expenses of the business, which are largely variable in nature and fluctuate with revenue and assets under management. We believe that our existing liquid assets, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our existing credit facility are sufficient to meet our current and forecasted operating cash needs for the next twelve months and to satisfy our future commitments as more fully described in Contractual Obligations below. 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 impacted.

We have a “well-known seasoned issuer” shelf registration statement on Form S-3 on file with the SEC that registers an unspecified amount of Non-Voting Common Stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units for future issuance. We would expect to use the net proceeds of future securities sales under the shelf registration for general corporate purposes.

Recoverability of our Investments

Our $575.5 million of investments as of January 31, 2014 consisted of our 49 percent equity interest in Hexavest, positions in Company-managed funds and separate accounts entered into for investment and business development purposes, and certain other investments held directly by the Company. Investments in Company-managed funds and separate accounts and direct investments by the Company are generally in liquid debt or equity securities and are carried at fair market value. We test our investments, other than equity method investments, for impairment on a quarterly basis. We evaluate our investments in non-consolidated CLO entities and investments classified as available-for-sale for impairment using quantitative factors, including how long the investment has been in a net unrealized loss position, and qualitative factors, including the credit quality of the underlying issuer and our ability and intent to continue holding the investment. If markets deteriorate in the quarters ahead, our assessment of impairment on a quantitative basis may lead us to impair investments in future quarters that were in an unrealized loss position at January 31, 2014.

We test our investments in equity method investees, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets 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 three months of fiscal 2014 that would indicate that an impairment loss exists at January 31, 2014.

We periodically review our deferred sales commissions and 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 three months of fiscal 2014 that would indicate that an impairment loss exists at January 31, 2014.

Operating Cash Flows

Our operating cash flows are calculated by adjusting net income to reflect other significant sources and uses of cash, certain significant non-cash items and timing differences in the cash settlement of other assets and liabilities. Significant sources and uses of cash that are not reflected in either revenue or operating expenses include net cash flows associated with our deferred sales commission assets (capitalized sales commissions paid net of contingent deferred sales charges received) as well as net cash flows associated with the purchase and sale of investments within the portfolios of our consolidated funds and separate accounts (proceeds received from the sale of trading investments net of cash outflows associated with the purchase of trading investments). Significant non-cash items include the amortization of deferred sales commissions and other intangible assets, depreciation, stock-based compensation and the net change in deferred income taxes.

Cash used for operating activities totaled $170.9 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014, an increase of $98.7 million from the $72.2 million of cash used for operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2013. The increase in net cash used for operating activities year-over-year primarily reflects an increase in the net purchase of trading securities and an increase in net cash used in the operating activities of our consolidated CLO entities, partly offset by an increase in deferred taxes and a decrease in the timing differences in the cash settlements of our other assets and liabilities.

Investing Cash Flows

Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements, cash paid in acquisitions and the purchase and sale of available-for-sale investments in sponsored funds that we do not consolidate.

Cash provided by investing activities totaled $41.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to $12.1 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013. The increase in cash provided by investing activities year-over-year can be primarily attributed to a decrease in cash utilized for acquisitions in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, reflecting payments made to the sellers of Clifton and TABS of $67.2 million and $14.1 million, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, offset by a decrease of $46.3 million in the net proceeds from sales and purchases of available-for-sale securities and a decrease of $4.7 million in the net proceeds from the sale and maturities of consolidated CLO entity investments.

Financing Cash Flows

Financing cash flows primarily reflect distributions to non-controlling interest holders of our majority-owned subsidiaries and consolidated funds, the purchase of additional non-controlling interests in our majority-owned subsidiaries, the issuance and repurchase of our Non-Voting Common Stock, excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises, the payment of dividends to our shareholders and the proceeds and payments associated with the Company’s debt. Financing cash flows also include proceeds from the issuance of capital stock by consolidated investment companies and cash paid to meet redemptions by non-controlling interest holders of these funds.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $30.4 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to cash used for financing activities of $183.6 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014 we paid $26.9 million to acquire additional interests in Atlanta Capital, we repurchased and retired a total of 1.1 million shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock for $43.5 million under our authorized repurchase programs and we issued 2.2 million shares of our Non-Voting Common Stock in connection with the grant of restricted share awards, the exercise of stock options and other employee stock purchases for total proceeds of $26.1 million. As of January 31, 2014, we have authorization to purchase an additional 7.8 million shares under our current share repurchase authorization and anticipate that future repurchases will continue to be an ongoing

use of cash. Our dividends declared per share were $0.22 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $1.20 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Dividends declared per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included a one-time special dividend of $1.00 per share declared and paid in December 2012. We currently expect to declare and pay quarterly dividends on our Voting and Non-Voting Common Stock comparable to the dividend declared in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, cash provided by financing activities also included $337.7 million in principal payments made on senior notes, lines of credit and preferred shares of consolidated CLO entities as well as $429.6 million related to the issuance of new senior notes and preferred shares by those entities.

Minimum payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $2.0 million to be received in the future under non-cancelable subleases.

This amount includes unrecognized tax benefits along with accrued interest and penalties.

In July 2006, we committed to invest up to $15.0 million in a private equity partnership that invests in companies in the financial services industry. We had invested $14.2 million of the maximum $15.0 million as of January 31, 2014. The remaining commitment is included in the table above.

The Company will be obligated to make three additional annual contingent payments in respect of its acquisition of the TABS business in December 2008 based on prescribed multiples of TABS’s revenue for the twelve months ending December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016. There is no defined floor or ceiling on such payments, resulting in significant uncertainty as to the amount of any payment in the future. Accordingly, future payments to be made have been excluded from the above table.

The Company will be obligated to make an additional payment in respect of the acquired interest in Hexavest in fiscal 2014 if Hexavest exceeds defined annual revenue thresholds in the second twelve-month period following the closing. We also have the option to acquire an additional 26 percent interest in Hexavest in 2017. There is no defined floor or ceiling on any payment, resulting in significant uncertainty as to the amount of any payment in the future. Accordingly, future payments to be made have been excluded from the above table until such time as the uncertainty has been resolved. Although the amounts of these payments cannot be predicted with certainty, we anticipate they may be a significant use of cash in future years.

Interests held by non-controlling interest holders of Atlanta Capital and Parametric 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. As a result, there is significant uncertainty as to the timing of any non-controlling interest purchase in the future. Non-controlling interests are redeemable at fair value or based on a multiple of earnings before interest and taxes of the subsidiary, which is a measure that is intended to represent fair value. As a result, there is significant uncertainty as to the amount of any non-controlling interest purchase in the future. Accordingly, future payments to be made to purchase non-controlling interests have been excluded from the above table, unless a put or call option has been exercised and a mandatory firm commitment exists for us to purchase such non-controlling interests. 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 January 31, 2014. 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 and have recorded the current quarter change in the estimated redemption value of non-controlling interests redeemable at other than fair value (non-controlling interests redeemable based on a multiple of earnings before interest and taxes of the subsidiary) as a component of net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests. Based on our calculations, the estimated redemption value of our non-controlling interests, redeemable at either fair value or other than fair value, totaled $90.9 million on January 31, 2014 compared to $74.9 million on October 31, 2013.

Redeemable non-controlling interests as of January 31, 2014 consist of third-party investors’ ownership in consolidated investment funds of $4.9 million, non-controlling interests in Atlanta Capital redeemable at other than fair value of $13.6 million, non-controlling interests in Parametric issued in conjunction with the Clifton acquisition and redeemable at fair value of $22.8 million, non-controlling interests in Parametric issued in conjunction with the Parametric Risk Advisors final put redeemable at fair value of $9.9 million and profit interests granted under the long-term incentive plans of Parametric and Atlanta Capital redeemable at fair value of $26.6 million and $12.9 million, respectively. Redeemable non-controlling interests as of October 31, 2013 consist of third-party investors’ ownership in consolidated investment funds of $4.0 million, non-controlling interests in Parametric Risk Advisors and Atlanta Capital redeemable at other than fair value of $6.1 million and $13.6 million, respectively, non-controlling interests in Parametric issued in conjunction with the Clifton acquisition and redeemable at fair value of $13.9 million and redeemable interests in profit interests granted under the long-term incentive plans of Parametric and Atlanta Capital of $24.9 million and $12.3 million, respectively.

On November 1, 2013, the non-controlling interest holders of Parametric Risk Advisors entered into a Unit Acquisition Agreement with Parametric to exchange their remaining ownership interests in Parametric Risk Advisors, including the 10 percent interest subject to the fiscal 2013 call, for indirect ownership interests in

Parametric. The indirect ownership interests issued in this exchange contain put and call features that are exercisable over a four year period beginning in 2018. Indirect capital and profit interests in Parametric issued in connection with the transaction totaled 0.8 percent on January 31, 2014. As a result of this exchange, Parametric became the sole owner of Parametric Risk Advisors effective November 1, 2013.

Indirect profit interests granted to Parametric’s employees under a long-term equity incentive plan of that entity increased to 5.1 percent at January 31, 2014, reflecting a 0.4 percent profit interest granted on November 1, 2013 under the plan. Indirect capital and profit interests in Parametric held by the principals of Clifton totaled 1.9 percent on January 31, 2014, reflecting indirect interests issued in conjunction with the Clifton acquisition on December 31, 2012. The indirect ownership interests issued in this exchange contain put and call features that are exercisable over a four year period beginning in 2014.

In fiscal 2013, the Company exercised a call option requiring the non-controlling interest holders of Atlanta Capital to sell a 3.4 percent profit interest and a 0.2 percent capital interest in Atlanta Capital to the Company for $12.8 million. In addition, the non-controlling interest holders of Atlanta Capital exercised a put option requiring the Company to purchase an additional 3.8 percent profit interest and a 0.3 percent capital interest in Atlanta Capital for $14.1 million. The purchase price of the call and put options was based on a multiple of earnings before taxes based on the financial results of Atlanta Capital for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013. Upon the execution of the call and put options, the Company reduced redeemable non-controlling interests and recorded a liability within other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The transactions settled in December 2013.

The Company has the right to purchase the remaining non-controlling interest at a multiple of earnings before taxes based on Atlanta Capital’s financial results for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2015 and each year thereafter through October 31, 2017. Neither the exercise of the puts nor the exercise of the calls is contingent upon the non-controlling interest holders of Atlanta Capital remaining employees.

Foreign Subsidiaries

We consider the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiary as of January 31, 2014 to be indefinitely re-invested in foreign operations. Accordingly, no U.S. income taxes have been provided thereon. As of January 31, 2014 the Company had approximately $12.1 million of undistributed earnings in our Canadian subsidiary that is not available to fund domestic operations or to distribute to shareholders unless repatriated. Repatriation would require the Company to accrue and pay U.S. corporate income taxes. The Company does not have a current plan to repatriate these funds.
