Calamos Asset Management, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2011 Results and Declares Dividend
NAPERVILLE, Ill., April 28, 2011 Calamos Asset Management, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLMS), a
diversified global investment firm offering equity, fixed income, convertible and alternative
strategies, today reported first quarter 2011 results.
Financial Highlights
| Revenues were $90.5 million, an increase of 5% from $86.0 in the fourth quarter of 2010 and up 12% from $81.1 million in the first quarter of 2010. | ||
| Operating income increased by 4% to $37.3 million from $35.7 for the fourth quarter 2010 and by 22% from $30.5 in the first quarter of 2010. | ||
| Net income was $30.9 million, a 20% decrease from the fourth quarter and a 10% decrease from the first quarter 2010. | ||
| Net income attributable to Calamos Asset Management, Inc. was $4.6 million, representing 21.9% ownership interest in the underlying investment management business. | ||
| Diluted earnings per share were $0.23, compared to $0.28 per share last quarter and $0.24 a year ago. |
o | Diluted earnings per share decreased from the prior periods primarily as a result of non-operating activities, specifically the mark-to-market impact of certain investments in the companys corporate investment portfolio that have an effect on current earnings. |
| At March 31, 2011, assets under management increased by 7% to $38.0 billion from the previous quarter. | ||
| The company declared a regular quarterly dividend of 9.5 cents per share payable on May 25, 2011 to shareholders of record on May 10, 2011. |
Management Commentary
In the first quarter of 2011, we remained financially strong and exhibited stability in a
quarter marked by significant market volatility. We saw an increase in assets under management
throughout the quarter, maintained our operating margin and generated
competitive relative investment performance in most of our investment strategies. Results
from operations improved and we generated net gains of 3.4% on the corporate investment portfolio
during the quarter, which together create the expectation of earnings expansion. However, earnings
per share decreased from the prior period because of the varying accounting treatment required for
certain securities in our investment portfolio that prohibits all investment gains and losses from
being reported in current earnings, said John P. Calamos, Sr., chief executive officer and
co-chief investment officer.
Distribution Efforts
Our distribution efforts resulted in net inflows in the first quarter. Given our initiative
to expand and reinforce the Calamos brand globally, we were pleased to see significant positive net
flows coming from our non-U.S. distribution efforts, including a large mandate awarded in Asia, as
well as positive net flows into our UCITS funds. In the U.S., net flows were also positive in our
mutual funds, partially offset by outflows in our U.S. institutional business. Our efforts to
highlight the opportunities we see in growth equities were marked by the commencement of the
Calamos GrowthWorks campaign, a comprehensive sales and marketing initiative which is ongoing,
said Calamos.
Investment Performance
During the first quarter, investment performance was competitive, with most strategies
beating or reflecting benchmark performance. We believe the long-term performance of our investment
strategies demonstrates the strength of our risk-managed approach to investing across all of our
strategies, which aims to generate strong performance over full and multiple market cycles, said
Calamos.
Investment Performance Highlights:
| The majority of all Calamos mutual funds rank in the upper half of their respective Lipper1 categories for all time periods. Details of these ratings can be found in Table D. | ||
| Similarly, eighty-two percent of the companys mutual funds with at least a three-year track record received a 3-, 4-, or 5-star overall rating from Morningstar as of March 31, 2011.2 Details of the ratings can be found in Table E. | ||
| The companys performance in the institutional marketplace for the comparable investment strategies was similar to that of the mutual funds, with a majority ranking in the upper half of their peer groups for all time periods as of March 31, 2011, as determined by eVestment Alliance3. Details of these rankings are provided in Table F. |

| The company continues to see significant returns from its global growth equity suite; Calamos Global Equity Fund, Calamos International Growth Fund and Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund. The A shares at NAV of each solidly outperformed the respective benchmarks this quarter and for all time periods thus far by at least 250 bps. The company believes this performance reflects the Investment Teams ability to find opportunities around the world and demonstrates the benefits of active management.4 | ||
| Additionally, the new Calamos Discovery Growth Fund, which seeks to find growth opportunities in small- to mid-cap companies, is off to a good start. Its Class A shares returned 15.41% for the quarter, compared to a 9.23% return for its benchmark, at NAV.4 |

Assets Under Management and Flows
Assets under management as of March 31, 2011 totaled $38.0 billion, representing an increase
of $2.5 billion, or 7%, during the first quarter.
| Average assets under management were $36.8 billion during the first quarter of 2011, compared to $32.3 billion for the same period one year ago. | ||
| Total net inflows were $618 million while market appreciation contributed $1.9 billion to the increase in assets under management. | ||
| Net inflows into the companys investment companies were $346 million. | ||
| 12 of the companys 19 funds generated net inflows with the highest concentration of net flows into the low-volatility equity, alternative and global strategies. However, outflows from the Convertible Fund and Growth Fund reduced total net inflows. | ||
| The Emerging Markets Fund was introduced to the lineup of UCITS funds. | ||

Financial Results
Revenues for the first quarter of 2011 were $90.5 million, an increase of 12% from $81.1
million during the same period last year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, operating expenses
were $53.2 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 5%, from the first quarter of 2010.
Investment management fees for the first quarter of 2011 increased by $9.0 million, or 15%, to
$67.6 million compared to the same period last year. The increase in investment management fees was
principally driven by a 14% increase in average assets under management. Distribution and
underwriting fees increased by $277,000, or 1%, compared to the same period in 2010 as the
asset-based increase in distribution fees was offset by lower contingent deferred sales charges.
The percentage of mutual fund assets invested in Class I shares continues to increase and because
the company does not earn distribution fees from Class I mutual fund shares, distribution fee
revenue has been increasing at a slower rate than the growth in average mutual fund assets under
management.
Compensation expenses of $20.6 million increased by $500,000, or 2%, from the same quarter
last year, mostly due to increases in sales-based incentive compensation as both gross and net
sales increased significantly when compared to the same period last year. For the first quarter of
2011, distribution expenses were $18.2 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 9%, due to
increased mutual fund assets under management and to the increasing age of Class C share assets.
The company retains the distribution fees on Class C shares for a period of 12 months following the
initial purchase after which these fees are paid to third party intermediaries and recorded as
distribution expenses. Marketing and sales promotion expenses were $3.4 million for the quarter,
compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2010. Marketing and sales promotion expenses
continue to rise with the level of assets managed by the company because of the asset-based
supplemental distribution payments that we make to distribution intermediaries. Additionally,
through the use of selective advertising campaigns, the company remains focused on building
awareness about the companys growth strategies. General and administrative expenses increased by
approximately $800,000, or 9%, to $9.2 million for the first quarter 2011 versus the comparable
period. The continued focus on outsourcing non-core activities, such as the middle- and
back-office operations functions, is the primary driver to the rise in general and administrative
expenses.
Operating income was $37.3 million for the current quarter versus $35.7 million in the
previous quarter and $30.5 million in the first quarter of the prior year. Operating margin was
41.2% for the first quarter, down from 41.5% in the fourth quarter and up from 37.6% in the first
quarter of the prior year. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2011 were $0.23
versus $0.28 for the fourth quarter and $0.24 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in
earnings per share from the prior quarter was entirely attributable to the decrease in
non-operating income, principally reflecting losses on derivatives used to hedge the corporate
investment portfolio.
Non-Operating Results
Non-operating loss, net of non-controlling interest in partnerships, was $3.5 million during
the first quarter of 2011 as presented in Table A, compared to income of $6.9 million in the same
period for 2010.
The companys financial condition remains strong with a high degree of liquidity. The
investment portfolio was approximately $451.7 million at March 31, 2011 and was principally
comprised of investments in products that the company manages. This portfolio consists
primarily of diversified investments in the companys family of funds and cash equivalents and
is used to provide seed capital for the development of new products. To reduce downside risk and
price volatility of the total portfolio value, the company continues to use exchange-traded equity
option contracts as an economic hedge.
Investment Portfolio Returns
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the net gains on the companys investment portfolio
(as presented in Table B) were $12.2 million, representing investment gains of 3.4%. Certain
investment securities require differing financial accounting treatments; hence, not all changes in
the portfolios value are reported in current earnings. Instead, only gains and losses from
investment securities owned by the companys broker-dealer and from the companys derivatives
positions are reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations, while unrealized
gains and losses on securities designated as available-for-sale are captured as a component of
equity until realized. Therefore, in the most recently completed quarter, investment losses of $1.7
million (as presented in both Table A and Table B) decreased earnings, while the component of the
companys portfolio that directly impacts equity generated net unrealized gains of $13.9 million.
The company continues to realize gains from a trading strategy that seeks to harvest capital gains
to realize certain deferred tax assets.

Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The principal value and
investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth
more or less than their original cost.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The value of your investment
will fluctuate over time and you may gain or lose money. A funds performance may be affected by
risks that include those associated with non-diversification, non-investment grade debt securities,
high-yield/high-risk securities, undervalued or overlooked companies, investments in specific
industries or countries and potential conflicts of interest. Additional risks to funds may include
those associated with investing in foreign securities, emerging markets, initial public offerings,
derivatives, short sales and companies with relatively small market capitalizations.
Before investing carefully consider the funds investment objectives, risks, charges and
expenses. Please see the prospectus containing this and other information or call 800-582-6959.

Funds distributed by Calamos Financial Services LLC.
The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance
figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based
on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a funds monthly
performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more
emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of the funds in
each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the
next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a
fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in
the distribution percentages.) The Morningstar Rating may differ among share classes of a mutual
fund as a result of different sales loads and/or expense structures. It may be based, in part, on
the performance of a predecessor fund. Morningstar does not rank funds with less than a three-year
performance history.

Absolute performance for some funds was negative. For each fund, rankings are for Class A Shares for the period ending March 31, 2011, and will differ for other share classes. | |
The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a funds monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of the funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Morningstar Rating may differ among share classes of a mutual fund as a result of different sales loads and/or expense structures. It may be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund. Morningstar does not rank funds with less than a 3-year performance history. | ||
Percentile ranking is a standardized ranking. The first (best) observation with the largest numerical value, in terms of net-of-fee performance is ranked one; and the observation with the smallest numerical value is ranked 100. The rest of the observations are ranked an equal distance from each other in order of their numerical values, from largest to smallest. The percentile rank is calculated by dividing the absolute rank within a peer group. |
