Summary of Changes

 

 

Within operating revenues, underwriting and distribution fees is renamed sales and distribution fees

 

Amortization of deferred sales commissions, previously presented as a separate line, and certain distribution-related expenses, previously included in advertising and promotion expenses, are combined with underwriting and distribution expense in a new line named sales, distribution and marketing

 

Occupancy expense, previously combined with information systems and technology, is now a separate line

 

Advertising and promotion expense not reclassified to sales, distribution and marketing is now included with other expense in a new line named general, administrative and other

 

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests is now presented separately for nonredeemable and redeemable noncontrolling interests

These changes are intended to provide investors with improved disclosure of total sales, distribution and marketing expenses and greater transparency of information systems, technology and occupancy expenses. In addition, the change to net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests provides for consistency between the amounts in the statement of income and the changes in stockholders’ equity. The presentation change does not represent a restatement of any previously published financial results.
