Janus Announces Second Quarter 2005 Financial Results

Janus Capital Group Inc. (NYSE:JNS) today reported second quarterGAAP net income of $25.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, comparedwith net income of $19.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in thefirst quarter of 2005.

To provide a more comparable basis for evaluating Janus' operatingresults and financial performance over time, Janus management analyzesresults after adjusting for certain items that are neither ongoing noroperational in nature. (Please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP toadjusted financials on pages 9 and 10.)

Excluding these items, second quarter 2005 adjusted net income was$24.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with $24.1million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2005.Investment Management operating margins on a GAAP basis for the secondquarter of 2005 were 21.0% compared with 20.6% in the first quarter of2005. Investment Management operating margins on an adjusted basis forthe second quarter of 2005 were 23.0% compared with 21.6% in the firstquarter of 2005.

Janus Chairman and CEO Steve Scheid said that despite promisingtrends the company still needs to improve certain financialindicators, especially its investment management margin.

"We've set very ambitious goals for turning the tide on flows andour results this quarter show that we're headed in the rightdirection," Scheid said. "The modest increase in our adjustedinvestment management operating margin is good news, but we clearlyaren't where we need to be. We're committed to improving our margins-- and we're planning to do so without compromising fund performanceor the investments we've made to expand our distribution."

Flows and Assets Under Management

Average assets under management in the second quarter were $129.3billion versus $133.8 billion in the first quarter of 2005. At June30, 2005, assets under management (AUM) were $130.3 billion comparedwith $131.8 billion at March 31, 2005. The change in assets in thesecond quarter reflects long-term net outflows of $2.1 billion(including ING), disposition of Vontobel assets in the amount of $0.2billion, money market net outflows of $1.8 billion and marketappreciation of $2.6 billion. Long-term net outflows of $2.1 billionwere relatively flat compared with net outflows of $1.9 billion in thefirst quarter of 2005. Excluding the previously disclosed INGredemption of $2.0 billion, net outflows for the second quarter were$0.1 billion.

INTECH's strong investment performance in the mathematicaldiscipline led to net sales of $3.8 billion in the quarter comparedwith $2.0 billion in the first quarter. INTECH assets under managementat June 30, 2005, were $31.7 billion, double its asset base from thebeginning of the second quarter of 2004.

Adjusted Investment Management Segment

The decline in revenuesreflects a reduction in average assets under management and a declinein performance fees due to timing of contracts at INTECH.

Adjusted operating expenses decreased $8.8 million, principallydue to decreases in compensation, advertising and general andadministrative costs. Advertising expenses for the second half of 2005should decrease further to be in the range of $3 million to $4 millionfor the period.

Janus' Printing and Fulfillment business, Rapid Solutions Group,had an operating loss of $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2005compared with a $3.1 million loss in the first quarter of 2005. Thesecond quarter loss was primarily driven by expected lower seasonalvolumes.

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

1) All figures unaudited.

2) Closed to new investors.

3) Returns have sustained significant gains and losses due to market volatility in the health care sector.

4) This Fund has been significantly impacted, either positively or negatively, by investing in initial public offerings (IPOs).

5) This Fund may have significant exposure to emerging markets which may lead to greater price volatility.

6) Effective May 1, 2005, Karen L. Reidy is no longer the Portfolio Manager of the Janus Balanced Fund and Gibson Smith and Marc Pinto are now co-managers of the Fund.

7) Effective May 1, 2005, Karen L. Reidy is no longer the Portfolio Manager of Janus Core Equity Fund and Minyoung Sohn is now the Portfolio Manager of the Fund.

8) A 2% redemption fee may be imposed on shares held for 3 months or less. Performance shown does not reflect this redemption fee and, if reflected, performance would have been lower.

9) The voluntary waiver of the Fund's management fee terminated on June 25, 2004. Without such waivers total returns from inception to June 24, 2004, would have been lower.

10) Returns shown for Janus Small Cap Value Fund prior to April 21, 2003, are those of Berger Small Cap Value Fund.

11) Returns shown for Janus Mid Cap Value Fund prior to April 21, 2003, are those of Berger Mid Cap Value Fund.

12) Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the Fund. Unlike owning individual bonds, there are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of bonds funds. The return of principal is not guaranteed due to net asset value fluctuation that is caused by changes in the price of specific bonds held in the Fund and selling of bonds within the fund by the Portfolio Manager.

13) As of June 30, 2005, 30-day SEC Yield was 3.60% on Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund, 3.85% on Janus Flexible Bond Fund, 6.37% on Janus High-Yield Fund and 3.45% on Janus Short-Term Bond Fund.

14) Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of the Fund's expenses if they exceed the designated cap. If during the periods shown, the Fund's actual expenses exceeded the cap, its total return would have been lower. There were no waivers in effect for the most recent period presented.

15) Janus Capital has contractually agreed to waive Janus Short-Term Bond Fund and Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund's total operating expenses to the levels indicated in the prospectus until at least March 1, 2006. Without such waivers, Janus Short-Term Bond Fund and Janus Federal Tax-Exempt Fund's yield would have been 2.46% and 2.40%, respectively, and total returns would have been lower.

16) Income may be subject to state or local taxes and to a limited extent certain federal tax. Capital gains are subject to federal, state and local taxes.

17) Janus Adviser Forty commenced operations on 8/1/00, after the reorganization of the Retirement Shares of Janus Aspen Series into the Funds. The returns for the reorganized Funds reflect the performance of the Retirement Shares of Janus Aspen Series prior to the reorganization.

Differences between compared investments may include objectives,sales and management fees, liquidity, volatility, tax features andother features, which may result in differences in performance.

A fund's performance may be affected by risks that include thoseassociated with non-diversification, investments in foreignsecurities, non-investment grade debt securities, undervaluedcompanies or companies with a relatively small market capitalization.Please see a Janus prospectus for more detailed information.
