Reconciliation from GAAP to Non-GAAP Reporting
28


Appendix
Notes for Reconciliation to GAAP Reporting
1)
Revenues, as adjusted, is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by netting distribution and administration expenses from GAAP
revenues.  Management believes revenues, as adjusted, provides useful information to investors because distribution and administrative
expenses are costs that are generally passed directly through to
external parties.  Effective with the 2010 first quarter, the company no longer
pays outside service providers for certain fund administration and transfer agency services from the fees it collects for open-end funds it
manages.  These amounts are now paid by the funds directly to the third-party service providers and, as a result, the revenue and expense
previously recorded by the company for these services are no longer reflected.  These payments were reported in the above reconciliation of
GAAP to non-GAAP revenue and expenses for the 2009 period.
2)
Operating expenses, as adjusted, is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides investors with additional information
because of the nature of the specific excluded operating expenses. Specifically, management adds back amortization and impairments
attributable to acquisition related intangible assets as this is
useful to an investor to consider our operating results with the results of other
asset management firms that have not engaged in significant acquisitions. In addition, we add back restructuring and severance charges as
we believe that operating expenses exclusive of these costs will
aid comparability of the information to prior reporting periods. We believe
that because of the variety of equity awards used by companies and the varying methodologies for determining stock-based compensation
expense, excluding stock-based compensation enhances the ability of management and investors to compare financial results over periods.
Distribution and administrative expenses are excluded for the reason set forth above.
3)
Operating income (loss), as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, are calculated using the basis of revenues, as adjusted, and
operating expenses, as adjusted, as described above.
The above measures should not be considered as substitutes for any measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  Exclusion of items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be considered as
an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
Virtus Investment Partners reports its financial results on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis; however management believes
that
evaluating
the
company's
ongoing
operating
results
may
be
enhanced
if
investors
have
additional
non-GAAP
financial
measures.
Management
reviews
non-GAAP
financial
measures
to
assess
ongoing
operations
and
considers
them
only
to
be
additional
metrics
for
both
management
and
investors
to
consider
the
company's
financial
performance
over
time,
as
noted
in
the
footnotes
below.
Management
does
not
advocate
that
investors
consider
such
non-GAAP
financial
measures
in
isolation
from,
or
as
a
substitute
for,
financial
results
prepared
in
accordance
with
GAAP.
