NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PREPARATION.

T. Rowe Price Group derives its consolidated revenues and net income primarily from investment advisory services that its subsidiaries provide to individual and institutional investors in the sponsored T. Rowe Price mutual funds and other investment portfolios. We also provide our investment advisory clients with related administrative services, including mutual fund transfer agent, accounting and shareholder services; participant recordkeeping and transfer agent services for defined contribution retirement plans; brokerage; and trust services.

Investment advisory revenues depend largely on the total value and composition of assets under our management. Accordingly, fluctuations in financial markets and in the composition of assets under management impact our revenues and results of operations.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the use of estimates and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of our results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Actual results may vary from our estimates.

The unaudited interim financial information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2010 Annual Report.

NOTE 2 — INFORMATION ABOUT RECEIVABLES, REVENUES, AND SERVICES.

Accounts receivable from our sponsored mutual funds for advisory fees and advisory-related administrative services aggregate $154.0 million at December 31, 2010, and $158.4 million at June 30, 2011.

Fees for advisory-related administrative services provided to our sponsored mutual funds during the first half of the year were $131.6 million in 2010 and $158.2 million in 2011. Fees for these services during the second quarter were $66.0 million in 2010 and $83.2 million in 2011.

NOTE 4 — DEBT SECURITIES HELD BY AND CUSTOMER DEPOSITS AT SAVINGS BANK SUBSIDIARY.

Our savings bank subsidiary holds investments in marketable debt securities, including mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, which are accounted for as available-for-sale. The following table (in millions) details the components of these investments.

		12/31/2010								6/30/2011
						Unrealized								Unrealized
						holding								holding
		Fair				gains				Fair				gains
		value				(losses)				value				(losses)
Investments with temporary impairment (41 securities in 2011) of
Less than 12 months		$	25.0			$	(.4	)		$	25.1			$	(.2	)
12 months or more			6.1				(.4	)			5.0				(.2	)
Total			31.1				(.8	)			30.1				(.4	)
Investments with unrealized holding gains			153.6				4.1				161.7				3.8
Total debt securities		$	184.7			$	3.3			$	191.8			$	3.4
Aggregate cost		$	181.4							$	188.4

The unrealized losses in these investments were generally caused by changes in interest rates and market liquidity, and not by changes in credit quality. We intend to hold these securities to their maturities, which generally correlate to the maturities of our customer deposits, and believe it is more-likely-than not that we will not be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. Accordingly, impairment of these investments is considered temporary.

The estimated fair value of our customer deposit liability, based on discounting expected cash outflows at maturity dates that range up to five years, using current interest rates offered for deposits with the same dates of maturity, was $164.1 million at December 31, 2010, and $170.1 million at June 30, 2011.

Total other investments		$	209.7			$	216.1

NOTE 6 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.

We determine the fair value of our investments using broad levels of inputs as defined by related accounting standards:

	Level 1 —		quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
	Level 2 —		observable inputs other than level 1 quoted prices including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk. These inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources.
	Level 3 —		unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions based on the best information available. We do not value any investments using level 3 inputs.

These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the investments. There have been no transfers in or out of the levels. The following table summarizes our investments (in millions) that are recognized in our balance sheet using fair value measurements determined based on the differing levels of inputs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of June 30, 2011, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the related condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 8, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

GENERAL.

Our revenues and net income are derived primarily from investment advisory services provided to individual and institutional investors in our sponsored mutual funds and other managed investment portfolios. Investment advisory clients domiciled outside the United States account for nearly 12% of our assets under management at June 30, 2011.

We manage a broad range of U.S., international and global stock, bond, and money market mutual funds and other investment portfolios, which meet the varied needs and objectives of individual and institutional investors. Investment advisory revenues depend largely on the total value and composition of assets under our management. Accordingly, fluctuations in financial markets and in the composition of assets under management affect our revenues and results of operations.

We remain debt-free with substantial liquidity and resources that allow us to take advantage of attractive growth opportunities, invest in key capabilities including investment professionals and technologies and, most importantly, provide our clients with strong investment management expertise and service both now and in the future.

BACKGROUND.

The volatility experienced in the first quarter of 2011 by equity markets around the world continued throughout the second quarter as economic and geopolitical concerns weighed on investors at different times in the quarter. This volatility led to mixed performance results across equity markets for the quarter. Healthy corporate earnings and merger activity in the early part of the second quarter continued the positive momentum of late March and helped lift major indexes to new highs by the end of April. However, soft U.S. economic data, elevated energy costs, and worries that Greece could default or be forced to restructure its sovereign debt prompted a market sell-off in May and early June as investors looked to reduce risk. These losses were trimmed significantly in the closing days of the quarter. Several major concerns continue to weigh on investor confidence, including the sluggishness of economic recoveries in many developed countries, the broader European debt crisis, the U.S. government’s ability to raise its debt ceiling, inflation in emerging markets, and the impact of the Japanese disaster.

Amid this volatility in the second quarter, the S&P 500 Index of large-cap companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy returned .1% while the Russell 2000 Index, which measures the performance of small-cap U.S. companies, and the NASDAQ Composite Index, which is heavily weighted in technology companies, declined 1.6% and .3% (excluding dividends), respectively. Their relatively flat performance in the second quarter enabled these major U.S. indexes to maintain the solid returns of the first quarter. For the first six months of the year, the S&P 500 Index is up 6.0%, the Russell 2000 Index increased 6.2% and the NASDAQ Composite Index returned 4.6%.

Developed equity markets outside the U.S. outperformed the U.S. markets in the second quarter of 2011 while emerging equity markets lagged behind. Specifically, the MSCI EAFE Index, which measures the performance of mostly large-cap stocks in Europe, Australasia and the Far East, returned 1.8%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined 1.0%. These indexes have returned 5.4% and 1.0%, respectively, for the first half of 2011.

Similar to the first three months of 2011, long-term Treasury yields experienced volatility in the second quarter, as investors periodically sought the safety of U.S. government bonds. Disappointing economic data and reductions in U.S. GDP growth estimates in May and early June drove long-term yields to their lowest levels in several months. Rates steadied toward the end of the quarter, however, as market anxieties regarding recent global developments diminished somewhat, and the Federal Reserve reassured investors that they would keep the fed funds target rate very low “for an extended period” of time. The yield on the benchmark 10-year bond decreased 29 basis points during the quarter to 3.18% at June 30, 2011.

U.S. fixed income securities experienced good returns in the second quarter of 2011. Municipal bonds led the way as demand improved and fears of default subsided. Returns on high yield securities lagged others amid a large supply and equity market weakness; however, they still outperformed investment-grade issues for the first half of 2011. For the quarter, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index gained 2.3% while the Credit Suisse High Yield Index gained 1.0%. These indexes are up 2.7% and 4.8%, respectively, for the first six months of 2011. The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Ex-US Dollar Bond Index was up 3.7% in the second quarter of 2011, due in part to a weakening U.S. dollar, and the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Index Plus gained 4.3%.

In this volatile environment, investors added net inflows of $15.6 billion to our management during the first six months of 2011, including $9.8 billion in the second quarter. Assets under management totaled $520.9 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $11.0 billion from the March 31, 2011 record level of $509.9 billion. The change (in billions) in 2011 occurred as follows.

		Quarter				Quarter				First half
		ended				ended				ended
		3/31/2011				6/30/2011				6/30/2011
Assets under management at beginning of period		$	482.0			$	509.9			$	482.0

Assets under management at end of period		$	509.9			$	520.9			$	520.9

Assets under management at June 30, 2011, include $388.6 billion in stock and blended asset investment portfolios and $132.3 billion in fixed income investment portfolios. The investment portfolios that we manage consist of $305.6 billion in the T. Rowe Price mutual funds distributed in the U.S. and $215.3 billion in other investment portfolios, including separately managed accounts, sub-advised funds, and other sponsored investment portfolios including common trust funds and mutual funds offered to investors outside the U.S. and through variable annuity life insurance plans.

We incur significant expenditures to attract new investment advisory clients and additional investments from our existing clients. These efforts involve costs that generally precede any future revenues that we might recognize from additions to our assets under management.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Second quarter 2011 versus second quarter 2010.

Investment advisory revenues increased 24.3%, or $119.7 million, to $611.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 as average assets under our management increased $101.4 billion to $514.9 billion. The average annualized fee rate of 47.7 basis points earned on our assets under management during the second quarter of 2011 was unchanged from the rate earned in the 2010 quarter, and down slightly from the fee rate of 47.9 basis points earned in the first quarter 2011. We continue to voluntarily waive money market fees to maintain a positive yield for fund investors. Fees of $8.3 million were waived in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $1.9 million from the fees waived in the comparable 2010 quarter. We anticipate such fee waivers could continue for the remainder of 2011.

Net revenues increased $136.3 million, or 23.6%, to $713.7 million. Operating expenses of $387.1 million in the second quarter of 2011 were up $62.8 million, or 19.4% from the comparable 2010 quarter. Overall, net operating income of $326.6 million for the second quarter of 2011 was 29% higher than the $253.1 million earned in the 2010 quarter. The increase in our average assets under management and resulting advisory revenue increased our operating margin for the second quarter of 2011 to 45.8% from 43.8% in the comparable 2010 quarter. Net income increased $46.2 million from the second quarter of 2010 to $204.7 million and diluted earnings per share on our common stock increased 28.8% to $.76 from $.59 in the 2010 quarter.

Investment advisory revenues earned from the T. Rowe Price mutual funds distributed in the U.S. increased 22.0%, or $75.3 million, to $418.1 million. Average mutual fund assets under management in the second quarter of 2011 were $302.6 billion, an increase of 22.3% from the average for the comparable 2010 quarter. Mutual fund assets at June 30, 2011 were $305.6 billion, an increase of $5.4 billion from the end of March 2011.

Net inflows to the sponsored mutual funds were $4.6 billion during the second quarter of 2011, including $2.2 billion added to the stock and blended asset funds, $2.2 billion added to the bond funds, and $.2 billion added to the money market funds. The Institutional Floating Rate, New Income, Equity Income, International Stock, and U.S. Bond Index funds each received net inflows of more than $400 million for a total of $2.7 billion during the 2011 quarter. Net inflows of $1.9 billion originated in our target-date retirement funds, which had total assets under management at June 30, 2011 of $63.5 billion. Market appreciation and income increased our mutual fund assets under management by $800 million during the second quarter of 2011.

Investment advisory revenues earned on the other investment portfolios that we manage increased $44.4 million, or 29.8%, from the second quarter of 2010, to $193.6 million. Average assets in these portfolios were $212.3 billion during the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $46.2 billion, or 27.8%, from the 2010 quarter. Ending assets at June 30, 2011 were $215.3 billion, up $5.6 billion from the end of March 2011. Net inflows, primarily from third party financial intermediaries, were $5.2 billion for the second quarter of 2011. Market appreciation and income increased assets under management in these portfolios by $400 million.

Administrative fees were up $16.7 million, or 19.7%, from the second quarter of 2010, including a $6.5 million increase in our mutual fund servicing revenue that is generally offset by a similar charge in the related operating expenses that are incurred to provide such services. The change also includes an increase of $10.7 million in 12b-1 distribution and service fees earned on the Advisor and R classes of our sponsored mutual funds, and is entirely offset by the increase in related operating expenses incurred to distribute Advisor and R class shares through third party intermediaries. The increase in 12b-1 fees includes $2.6 million based on greater fund assets under management and $8.1 million earned on R class shares in the second quarter of 2011 for which the comparable 2010 quarter fees were netted against related distribution expenses.

Compensation and related costs increased $33.7 million, or 15.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2010. Almost half of this increase is attributable to an increase in our annual variable compensation programs, which are based on our operating results and other factors such as our relative risk-adjusted investment performance, and the quality of our client service. The change also includes an increase of $12.8 million in salaries expense and employee benefits from the 2010 quarter, which results from an increase in our average staff size of 6.2% coupled with an increase in our associates’ base salaries at the beginning of the year. Increases in temporary staffing expenses, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and other employee costs make up the balance of the change from the 2010 period. At June 30, 2011, we employed 5,162 associates, up 2.2% from the 5,052 associated employed at the end of 2010.

Advertising and promotion expenditures were $20.6 million, up 2.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2010 in response to investor interest. We currently expect that our advertising and promotion expenditures in the third quarter of 2011 will be comparable to the second quarter of this year, while our spending for the full year 2011 could increase about 15% from 2010. We vary our level of spending based on market conditions and investor demand as well as our efforts to expand our investor base in the U.S. and abroad.

Occupancy and facility costs together with depreciation and amortization expense were up $5.5 million, or 13.3%, versus the 2010 quarter. The change includes the impact of placing our new technology support facility into service in February 2011, as well as higher operating costs for our existing facilities and the added cost to update our technology capabilities, including related maintenance programs, to meet increasing business demands.

Other operating expenses were up $23.1 million, or 48.3%, from the second quarter of 2010, including rising consulting and professional fees, travel expenses, and other costs incurred to meet increased business demands. The change also includes an increase of $10.7 million in distribution expenses recognized on fees paid to financial intermediaries for sourcing assets into the Advisor and R classes of the T. Rowe Price funds, and is entirely offset by the increase in administrative revenues from 12b-1 fees. This increase in distribution expenses includes $2.6 million based on greater fund assets under management and $8.1 million incurred on R class shares in the second quarter of 2011 for which the comparable 2010 expenses were netted against related 12b-1 revenues.

Our non-operating investment activity, which includes interest income as well as the recognition of investment gains and losses, was up $1.7 million from the comparable 2010 quarter. The change includes higher dividend income earned on our mutual fund investments and larger foreign currency transaction gains recognized in the second quarter of 2011. We recognized equity earnings from our investment in UTI of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $.3 million versus the second quarter of 2010.

The second quarter of 2011 provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income is 38.4%. We currently estimate that our effective tax rate for the 2011 year will be 38.2%.

First half 2011 versus first half 2010.

Investment advisory revenues were up 24.6%, or $236.7 million, to $1.2 billion as average assets under our management increased $101.5 billion to $506.7 billion. The average annualized fee rate earned on our assets under management was 47.8 basis points in the first half of 2011, down slightly from the 48.0 basis points earned during the comparable 2010 period and the 2010 year. We waived $15.3 million in money market advisory fees in the first six months of 2011, an increase of $2.1 million from the $13.2 million waived in the first half of 2010.

Net revenues increased 23.2%, or $262.5 million, to nearly $1.4 billion. Operating expenses were $758.0 million in the first half of 2011, up 18.1% or $116.2 million from the 2010 period. Overall, net operating income for the first half of 2011 increased $146.3 million, or 29.7%, to $638.1 million. The increase in our average assets under management and resulting advisory revenue increased our operating margin for the first six months of 2011 to 45.7% from 43.4% in the comparable 2010 period. Net income increased $87.8 million, or 28.2%, to $399.3 million for the first half of 2011, boosting diluted earnings per share up 27.4% to $1.49 from $1.17.

Investment advisory revenues earned from the T. Rowe Price mutual funds distributed in the United States increased 22.5%, or $150.4 million, to $818.6 million. Average mutual fund assets were $297.3 billion in the first half of 2011, an increase of 22.6% over the average for the 2010 period. Mutual fund assets increased $23.0 billion during the first half of 2011 to $305.6 billion at June 30, 2011.

Net inflows to the mutual funds were $9.0 billion during the first half of 2011, including $4.4 billion that originated in our target-date Retirement Funds. Our stock and blended asset funds had net inflows of $5.1 billion and our bond funds added $4.0 billion. The New Income Fund added $1.4 billion of net investments while the Equity Income and Institutional Floating Rate funds combined to account for net inflows of $2.2 billion; each adding more than $1.0 billion. Our money market funds had net outflows of $100 million. Higher market valuations and income increased fund assets by $14.0 billion.

Investment advisory revenues earned on the other investment portfolios that we manage increased $86.3 million, or 29.2%, to $381.9 million. Average assets in these portfolios were $209.4 billion in the first half of 2011, up 28.6% from the average in the comparable 2010 period. Net inflows were $6.6 billion for the first six months of 2011. Strong net inflows into our sub-advised funds from third party financial intermediaries and into our other sponsored portfolios were partially offset by net outflows from a few institutional investors who restructured their equity investment portfolios. Market appreciation and income increased assets under management in these portfolios by $9.3 billion.

Administrative fees increased $26.2 million, or 15.6%, to $194.5 million. The change in these revenues includes $13.4 million from our mutual fund servicing activities. The balance of the increase is primarily attributable to the $13.2 million increase in 12b-1 distribution fees earned on the Advisor and R classes of our sponsored mutual fund shares. The year-to-date 2011 increase includes $5.1 million based on greater fund assets under management and $8.1 million earned on R class shares in the second quarter of 2011 for which the comparable 2010 quarter fees were netted against related distribution expenses.

Our largest expense, compensation and related costs, increased $68.9 million or 16.3% over the comparable 2010 period. The largest part of the increase is attributable to a $31.0 million increase to our interim annual variable compensation accrual and an increase of $24.5 million in salaries and related benefits. Our average number of associates has increased 6.3% from the comparable 2010 period. Higher temporary staffing expenses, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and other employee costs account for the remainder of the increase in our compensation and related costs.

Occupancy and facility costs together with depreciation expense increased $8.7 million. Our operating costs for technology and other equipment, maintenance and other rented facility costs have increased as we continue to invest in our capabilities to meet increasing business needs.

Other operating expenses were up $36.2 million, or 38.9%, from the first half of 2010, including rising consulting and professional fees, information services, travel expenses, and other costs incurred to meet increased business demands. The change also includes an increase of $13.2 million in distribution expenses recognized on fees paid to financial intermediaries for sourcing assets into the Advisor and R classes of the T. Rowe Price funds. This year-to-date increase includes $5.1 million based on greater fund assets under management and $8.1 million incurred on R class shares in the second quarter of 2011 for which the comparable 2010 expenses were netted against related 12b-1 revenues.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY.

Operating activities during the first six months of 2011 provided cash flows of $610.5 million, up $158.3 million from the 2010 period, including an $87.8 million increase in net income and a $6.9 million increase in non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. Timing differences in the cash settlement of our assets and liabilities increased our cash flows by $63.6 million compared to the first six months of 2010. Our interim operating cash flows do not include variable compensation that is accrued throughout the year before being substantially paid out in December.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $66.4 million in the first half of 2011, down $156.6 million from the 2010 period. The 2010 period included our $143.6 million purchase of a 26% equity interest in UTI. Our capital spending for property and equipment decreased $35.0 million from the 2010 period primarily because we completed the construction of our technology support facility in late 2010. These reductions in cash outflows period over period were offset by a $23.5 million increase in net new investments into our sponsored mutual funds and in debt securities held by our savings bank subsidiary.

Net cash used in financing activities was $334.5 million in the first six months of 2011, an increase of $97.1 million from the 2010 period. A larger number of shares repurchased combined with a higher price per common share resulted in an $80.8 million increase over the comparable 2010 period in the amount expended on stock repurchases. Additionally, dividends paid during the first half of 2011 increased $20.9 million from the 2010 period due primarily to a $.04 increase in our quarterly per-share dividend. The increase in the dividends paid and amount expended on share repurchases was partially offset by the change in cash flows from our savings bank deposits.

Our cash and mutual fund investments at June 30, 2011 were more than $1.8 billion, and we have no debt. Given the availability of these financial resources, we do not maintain an available external source of liquidity. We anticipate property and equipment expenditures for the full year 2011 to be about $106 million and expect to fund them from our cash balances.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS.

In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance clarifying how to measure and disclose fair value. Although we continue to evaluate the impact, we do not believe the adoption of such amended guidance on January 1, 2012 will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We have also considered all other newly issued accounting guidance that is applicable to our operations and the preparation of our consolidated statements, including that which we have not yet adopted. We do not believe that any such guidance will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operation.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION.

From time to time, information or statements provided by or on behalf of T. Rowe Price, including those within this report, may contain certain forward-looking information, including information or anticipated information relating to: our revenues, net income and earnings per share on common stock; changes in the amount and composition of our assets under management; our expense levels; our estimated effective income tax rate; and our expectations regarding financial markets, future transactions and investments, and other conditions. Readers are cautioned that any forward-looking information provided by or on behalf of T. Rowe Price is not a guarantee of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking information because of various factors including, but not limited to, those discussed below and in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Form 10-K Annual Report for 2010. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Our future revenues and results of operations will fluctuate primarily due to changes in the total value and composition of assets under our management. Such changes result from many factors including, among other things: cash inflows and outflows in the T. Rowe Price mutual funds and other managed investment portfolios; fluctuations in global financial markets that result in appreciation or depreciation of the assets under our management; our introduction of new mutual funds and investment portfolios; and changes in retirement savings trends relative to participant-directed investments and defined contribution plans. The ability to attract and retain investors’ assets under our management is dependent on investor sentiment and confidence; the relative investment performance of the Price mutual funds and other managed investment portfolios as compared to competing offerings and market indexes; the ability to maintain our investment management and administrative fees at appropriate levels; competitive conditions in the mutual fund, asset management, and broader financial services sectors; and our level of success in implementing our strategy to expand our business. Our revenues are substantially dependent on fees earned under contracts with the Price funds and could be adversely affected if the independent directors of one or more of the Price funds terminated or significantly altered the terms of the investment management or related administrative services agreements. Non-operating investment income will also fluctuate primarily due to the size of our investments and changes in their market valuations.

Our future results are also dependent upon the level of our expenses, which are subject to fluctuation for the following or other reasons: changes in the level of our advertising expenses in response to market conditions, including our efforts to expand our investment advisory business to investors outside the United States and to further penetrate our distribution channels within the United States; variations in the level of total compensation expense due to, among other things, bonuses, stock option grants, other incentive awards, changes in our employee count and mix, and competitive factors; any goodwill impairment that may arise; fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our investment in and the costs of our international operations; expenses and capital costs, such as technology assets, depreciation, amortization, and research and development, incurred to maintain and enhance our administrative and operating services infrastructure; unanticipated costs that may be incurred to protect investor accounts and the goodwill of our clients; and disruptions of services, including those provided by third parties, such as facilities, communications, power, and the mutual fund transfer agent and accounting systems.

Our business is also subject to substantial governmental regulation, and changes in legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, and compliance requirements may have a substantial effect on our operations and results, including but not limited to effects on costs that we incur and effects on investor interest in mutual funds and investing in general, or in particular classes of mutual funds or other investments.

T. ROWE PRICE GROUP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

Assets Under Management Reach $521 Billion

BALTIMORE (July 26, 2011) — T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (NASDAQ-GS: TROW) today reported its second quarter 2011 results, including net revenues of $713.7 million, net income of $204.7 million, and diluted earnings per common share of $.76, an increase of 29% from the $.59 per share in the comparable 2010 quarter. Net revenues were $577.4 million in the second quarter of 2010, and net income was $158.5 million.

Assets under management increased $11.0 billion from $509.9 billion at March 31, 2011, to a record $520.9 billion at June 30, 2011, including $305.6 billion in the T. Rowe Price mutual funds distributed in the United States and $215.3 billion in other managed investment portfolios. Net cash inflows in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $9.8 billion, and market appreciation and income added $1.2 billion to assets under management. Investment advisory revenues increased 24%, or $119.7 million, from the comparable 2010 quarter.

Results for the first half of 2011 include net revenues of nearly $1.4 billion, net income of $399.3 million, and diluted earnings per common share of $1.49, an increase of 27% from the $1.17 per share in the first half of 2010. Net cash inflows of $15.6 billion and market appreciation and income of $23.3 billion increased assets under management $38.9 billion, or 8%, from $482.0 billion at the end of 2010.

Financial and Other Highlights

Relative to the 2010 second quarter, investment advisory revenues earned from the T. Rowe Price mutual funds distributed in the U.S. increased 22%, or $75.3 million, to $418.1 million. Average mutual fund assets under management in the second quarter of 2011 were $302.6 billion, an increase of 22% from the average for the comparable 2010 quarter. Mutual fund assets at June 30, 2011 were $305.6 billion, an increase of $5.4 billion from the end of March 2011, and up $23.0 billion from the end of 2010. The firm voluntarily waived money market fund fees of $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 in order to maintain a positive yield for fund investors, compared to fee waivers of $6.4 million in the comparable 2010 quarter. During the 2011 year-to-date period, the firm has waived $15.3 million in such fees, an increase of $2.1 million from the similar 2010 period.

Net inflows to the sponsored mutual funds were $4.6 billion during the second quarter of 2011, including $2.2 billion added to the stock and blended asset funds, $2.2 billion added to the bond funds, and $.2 billion added to the money market funds. The Institutional Floating Rate, New Income, Equity Income, International Stock, and U.S. Bond Index funds each received net inflows of more than $400 million for a total of $2.7 billion during the 2011 quarter. Market appreciation and income increased mutual fund assets under management by $800 million during the second quarter of 2011.

From a performance standpoint, 85% of the T. Rowe Price funds across their share classes outperformed their comparable Lipper averages on a total return basis for the three-year period ended June 30, 2011, 90% outperformed for the five-year period, 78% outperformed for the 10-year period, and 69% outperformed for the one-year period. In addition, T. Rowe Price stock, bond and blended asset funds that ended the quarter with an overall rating of four or five stars from Morningstar account for nearly 77% of the firm’s rated funds’ assets under management.

Investment advisory revenues earned on the other investment portfolios that the firm manages increased $44.4 million, or 30%, from the second quarter of 2010, to $193.6 million. Average assets in these portfolios were $212.3 billion during the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $46.2 billion, or 28%, from the 2010 quarter. Ending assets at June 30, 2011 were $215.3 billion, up $5.6 billion from the end of March 2011. Net inflows, primarily from third-party financial intermediaries, were $5.2 billion for the second quarter of 2011. Market appreciation and income increased assets under management in these portfolios by $400 million. Investors domiciled outside the United States accounted for nearly 12% of the firm’s assets under management at June 30, 2011.

The target-date retirement investment portfolios continue to be a steady source of assets under management. During the second quarter of 2011, net inflows of $2.2 billion originated in these portfolios. Assets in the target-date retirement portfolios were $68.0 billion at June 30, 2011, accounting for 13% of the firm’s assets under management and nearly 21% of its mutual fund assets.

Operating expenses were $387.1 million in the second quarter of 2011, up $62.8 million from the 2010 quarter. Compensation and related costs increased $33.7 million, or 16%, from the comparable 2010 quarter, due primarily to an increase in the accrual for the firm’s annual variable compensation program, salaries, employee benefits and temporary staffing. At June 30, 2011, we employed 5,162 associates, up 2.2% from the 5,052 associates employed at the end of 2010.

Advertising and promotion expenditures were relatively flat compared to the second quarter of 2010. The firm currently expects that its advertising and promotion expenditures for the third quarter of 2011 will be comparable to the second quarter of this year, while spending for the full year 2011 could increase about 15% from 2010 levels. The firm varies its level of spending based on market conditions and investor demand as well as its efforts to expand its investor base in the United States and abroad.

Other operating expenses were up $23.1 million, or 48%, from the second quarter of 2010, including rising consulting and professional fees, travel expenses, and other costs to meet increased business demands. This change also includes an increase of $10.7 million in distribution expenses recognized on fees paid to financial intermediaries for sourcing assets into the Advisor and R classes of the T. Rowe Price funds, and is entirely offset by increases in administrative revenues from 12b-1 fees. This increase in distribution expenses includes $2.6 million based on greater fund assets under management and $8.1 million incurred in the second quarter of 2011 on R class shares for which the comparable 2010 quarterly expenses were netted against related 12b-1 revenues.

The second quarter of 2011 provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income is 38.4%. The firm currently estimates its effective tax rate for the year 2011 will be 38.2%.

T. Rowe Price remains debt-free with ample liquidity, including cash and mutual fund investment holdings of more than $1.8 billion. Based on current strategic projects and plans, the company’s capital expenditures for all of 2011 are estimated to be about $106 million. In the first half of 2011, the firm has expended $241 million to repurchase four million shares of its common stock. These cash expenditures are being funded from available liquid resources.

Management Commentary

James A.C. Kennedy, the company’s chief executive officer and president, commented: “We are proud that such a broad spectrum of our portfolios, including our asset allocation strategies, continue to deliver very attractive long-term returns. This solid track record, combined with our investment and industry expertise, has enabled us to provide sought-after investment solutions to institutional and individual investors alike, helping our clients achieve their financial goals.

“Despite choppy markets, strong net new client inflows across equity and fixed income portfolios helped to boost the firm’s assets under management at the end of the second quarter to a record high. Our quarterly net revenues, net income, and earnings also reached new highs. This second quarter financial performance was achieved during another volatile period in which bonds produced modest gains and equities were narrowly mixed. Through most of the quarter economic and geopolitical concerns weighed on the markets, including questions about the strength and sustainability of the economic recoveries around the world, especially given the debt challenges facing the European and U.S. governments.

Market Commentary

“Although the modestly paced global economic recovery appears to be continuing, global markets will likely remain volatile. Eurozone sovereign debt issues, global political turmoil, inflation in developing economies, continued weakness in the U.S. housing market, and high unemployment in many developed countries remain as headwinds. And while the current U.S. debt ceiling crisis will likely be resolved in the days ahead, the need for a strategy to put the federal budget on a sustainable longer-term path continues to weigh on market confidence. A stark contrast still persists between these lingering macro concerns and healthy corporate balance sheets. Companies are growing earnings, valuations are reasonable, and solid fundamentals should provide attractive investment opportunities. As a result we remain optimistic about the long-term outlook for equities. With interest rates expected to eventually trend higher we do anticipate more modest bond market returns than in the recent past.”

Closing Comment

In closing, Mr. Kennedy said: “The outlook for T. Rowe Price remains strong and we are very well positioned for the future. A healthy balance sheet and strong operating cash flows combine to give us the financial flexibility to weather challenging markets and to continue to invest in our capabilities. In addition, demand for our investment expertise remains high, and our 5,162 talented associates continue to add value for our clients around the globe. Given the ebbs and flows of the markets, we believe investors will continue to be well served over the long term by our disciplined investment approach.”
