The Company provides investment management and related services to individuals and institutions. The Company’s retail investment management services are provided to individuals through products consisting of: mutual funds registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("U.S. retail funds"), as amended; Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities ("UCITS") and Qualifying Investor Funds ("QIFs"), collectively "global funds" and collectively with mutual funds, exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), and variable insurance funds, the "open-end funds"; closed-end funds (collectively, with open-end funds, the "funds"); and retail separate accounts. Institutional investment management services are offered through separate accounts and pooled or commingled structures to a variety of institutional clients. The Company also provides subadvisory services to other investment advisers and serves as the collateral manager for structured products.


2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company’s significant accounting policies, which have been consistently applied, are summarized in its 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


3. Revenues
The Company's revenues are recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied, which occurs when control of the services is transferred to customers. Investment management fees, distribution and service fees, and administration and shareholder service fees are generally calculated as a percentage of average net assets of the investment portfolios managed. The net asset values from which these fees are calculated are variable in nature and subject to factors outside of the Company's control, such as additional investments, withdrawals and market performance. Because of this, these fees are considered constrained until the end of the contractual measurement period (monthly or quarterly), which is when asset values are generally determinable.

    Revenue Disaggregated by Source    
The following table summarizes investment management fees by source:

4. Acquisitions
Stone Harbor Investment Partners
On January 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Stone Harbor Investment Partners, LLC ("Stone Harbor"), which was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). The initial transaction consideration of $29.4 million was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition, as well as goodwill of $8.8 million and definite-lived intangible assets of $10.8 million. The Company expects $19.6 million of the purchase price to be tax deductible over 15 years. The transaction consideration allocation is based upon preliminary information and is subject to change if additional information becomes available. The final fair value of the net assets acquired may result in adjustments to certain assets and liabilities, including goodwill. The revenues and operating income of Stone Harbor were not material to the Company's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Transaction consideration consisted of $28.2 million in cash paid at closing and $1.2 million in contingent consideration recorded at fair value, which represents future potential earn-out payments based on pre-established performance metrics related to revenue retention and revenue growth rates. Future contingent consideration will be paid, if earned, in 2023, 2026 and 2027. The contingent consideration has been accounted for as a liability within contingent consideration on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Westchester Capital Management
On October 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Westchester Capital Management, LLC ("Westchester"), which was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805. The total transaction consideration of $169.3 million was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. Goodwill of $23.0 million and intangible assets of $144.4 million were recorded as a result of the acquisition. The Company expects $155.6 million of the purchase price to be tax deductible over 15 years. The revenues and operating income of Westchester were not material to the Company's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Transaction consideration consisted of $156.8 million in cash and contingent consideration accounted for as a liability on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance sheet, which represents future potential earn-out payments based on pre-established performance metrics related to revenue growth rates.

AllianzGI Strategic Partnership
On February 1, 2021, the Company finalized a strategic partnership with Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC ("AllianzGI"), pursuant to which the Company became the investment adviser, distributor and/or administrator of certain of AllianzGI's open-end, closed-end and retail separate account assets. This transaction was classified as an asset acquisition and the cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of their relative fair values. Additionally, as part of the strategic partnership, AllianzGI’s Dallas-based Value Equity team joined the Company as a newly established affiliated manager, NFJ Investment Group ("NFJ"). The addition of NFJ was classified as a business combination under ASC 805 and assets acquired were recorded at fair value. Assets acquired primarily consisted of definite-lived intangible assets representing investment contracts as well as indefinite-lived assets consisting of goodwill related to NFJ. The revenues and operating income of NFJ were not material to the Company's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.

Transaction consideration consists of variable cash payments based on a percentage of the investment management fees earned on certain open-end, closed-end and retail separate account assets from the transaction. Payments are to be made annually on the anniversary of the closing date of the transactions over seven years. Contingent payment obligations related to the NFJ acquisition, which were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805 are remeasured at fair value as of each reporting period-end, with the change in fair value recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. An estimate of these future payments has been recorded as a liability and included as contingent consideration on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. A payment of $33.0 million was made in the first quarter of 2022. The estimated value of future revenue participation payments at March 31, 2022 was $117.0 million.

The following is a discussion of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets measured at fair value:

Cash equivalents represent investments in money market funds. Cash investments in money market funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1.

Sponsored funds represent investments in open-end funds, closed-end funds and ETFs for which the Company acts as the investment manager. The fair value of open-end funds is determined based on their published net asset values and are categorized as Level 1. The fair value of closed-end funds and ETFs is determined based on the official closing price on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Equity securities represent securities traded on active markets, are valued at the official closing price (typically the last sale or bid) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Nonqualified retirement plan assets represent mutual funds within the Company's nonqualified retirement plan whose fair value is determined based on their published net asset value and are categorized as Level 1.

Contingent consideration represents liabilities associated with the Company's business combinations. See Note 4 for a discussion of the transactions. The estimated fair values are measured using a simulation model using unobservable market data inputs prepared with the assistance of an independent valuation firm. These liabilities are categorized as Level 3.

Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)20222021
Stock-based compensation expense$9,547 $7,995 

Restricted Stock Units
Each RSU entitles the holder to one share of common stock when the restriction expires. RSUs may be time-vested or performance-contingent (PSUs) that convert into RSUs after performance measurement is complete and generally vest in one to three years. Shares that are issued upon vesting are newly issued shares from the Omnibus Plan and are not issued from treasury stock.

RSU activity, inclusive of PSUs, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is summarized as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, a total of 61,859 and 57,885 RSUs, respectively, were withheld by the Company as a result of net share settlements to settle minimum employee tax withholding obligations. The Company paid $13.4 million and $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in minimum employee tax withholding obligations related to RSUs withheld for the net share settlements. These net share settlements had the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the vesting.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted 30,516 PSUs that contain performance-based metrics in addition to a service condition. Compensation expense for PSUs is generally recognized over a three-year service period based upon the value determined using a combination of (i) the intrinsic value method, for awards that contain a performance metric that represents a "performance condition" in accordance with ASC 718, and (ii) the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for awards that contain a "market condition" performance metric under ASC 718. Compensation expense for PSU awards that contain a market condition is fixed at the date of grant and will not be adjusted in future periods based upon the achievement of the market condition. Compensation expense for PSU awards with a performance condition is recorded each period based upon a probability assessment of the expected outcome of the performance metric with a final adjustment upon measurement at the end of the performance period.

As of March 31, 2022, unamortized stock-based compensation expense for unvested RSUs and PSUs was $41.1 million with a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 1.3 years.


11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding dilution for potential common stock issuances. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, including shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs and stock option exercises using the treasury stock method, as determined under the if-converted method.
