Net Income for the third quarter of 2008 was $24.8 million, compared to $42.6 million for the third quarter of 2007. (Cash EPS and Cash Net Income are defined in the attached tables.)

For the third quarter of 2008, revenue was $290.8 million, compared to $345.6 million for the third quarter of 2007. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2008 was $82.8 million, compared to $98.6 million for the same period of 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Cash Net Income was $170.3 million, while EBITDA was $261.0 million. For the same period, Net Income was $92.9 million, on revenue of $934.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Cash Net Income was $177.0 million, while EBITDA was $285.3 million. For the same period, Net Income was $121.1 million, on revenue of $986.9 million.

Pro forma for pending investments, the aggregate assets under management of AMGs affiliated investment management firms at September 30, 2008 were approximately $219.3 billion. Net client cash flows for the third quarter of 2008 were approximately $(5.9) billion, with flows in the institutional, mutual fund and high net worth channels of $(4.7) billion, $(951) million, and $(338) million, respectively.

In the midst of an extraordinarily difficult equity market environment, AMG produced solid results in the third quarter, stated Sean M. Healey, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMG. AMG has a strong and diverse business, and we are well positioned to weather the challenges of this period. AMGs Affiliates are among the highest quality boutique managers in the industry, and the breadth of our participation across an array of investment styles provides balance to our results and consistency to our earnings. In addition, we have ample financial capacity, and a strong and stable capital structure to create long-term value for our shareholders.

Mr. Healey continued, AMGs Affiliates are among the leaders in their respective investment disciplines, and while falling markets led to absolute levels of decline for many managers, our Affiliates produced strong performance relative to their peers and benchmarks across a range of product areas. Among our international products, emerging markets manager Genesis had strong relative returns, and deep value manager Tweedy, Brownes Global and High Yield Dividend funds outperformed their respective benchmarks, as did the firms domestic Value fund. In the alternative area, First Quadrant had an excellent quarter, while BlueMountain generated strong results as well.

With the strong, recurring free cash flow generated by our business and a diverse capital structure, we have substantial financial capacity and flexibility in the current environment, Mr. Healey added. Other than long-term convertible securities, we have no net debt, and approximately $1 billion of available capacity under our revolving credit facility. Going forward, we remain focused on generating strong returns for our shareholders by opportunistically deploying our capital, through accretive new investments or stock repurchases, as appropriate.

Mr. Healey concluded, While market volatility inherently limits near-term new investment activity, looking ahead, we see tremendous opportunities to enhance our earnings through new investments. The environment for investing in asset management firms is becoming increasingly favorable, with significantly fewer competitors and reduced valuation levels, and at the same time, there is likely to be accelerating transaction activity among founders of boutique firms driven by demographic trends. AMG has a long-term track record of successful investments, a reputation as the partner of choice among leading boutique asset management firms, and an established set of relationships with high quality firms. Our competitive position is very strong, and our flexible partnership approach positions us to execute on a range of accretive transactions including both succession-oriented investments and transactions with corporate owners of boutique firms.

Notes
(A)

Cash Net Income is defined as Net Income plus amortization and
deferred taxes related to intangible assets plus Affiliate
depreciation. This supplemental non-GAAP performance measure is
provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Net Income.
The Company considers Cash Net Income an important measure of its
financial performance, as management believes it best represents
operating performance before non-cash expenses relating to the
acquisition of interests in its affiliated investment management
firms. Since acquired assets do not generally depreciate or
require replacement, and since they generate deferred tax
expenses that are unlikely to reverse, the Company adds back
these non-cash expenses. Cash Net Income is used by the Companys
management and Board of Directors as a principal performance
benchmark.

The Company adds back amortization attributable to acquired
client relationships because this expense does not correspond to
the changes in value of these assets, which do not diminish
predictably over time. The Company adds back the portion of
deferred taxes generally attributable to intangible assets
(including goodwill) that it no longer amortizes but which
continues to generate tax deductions. These deferred tax expense
accruals would be used in the event of a future sale of an
Affiliate or an impairment charge, which the Company considers
unlikely. The Company adds back the portion of consolidated
depreciation expense incurred by Affiliates because under its
Affiliate operating agreements, the Company is generally not
required to replenish these depreciating assets.

(B)

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense,
income taxes, depreciation and amortization. This supplemental
non-GAAP liquidity measure is provided in addition to, but not as
a substitute for, cash flow from operations. As a measure of
liquidity, the Company believes EBITDA is useful as an indicator
of its ability to service debt, make new investments and meet
working capital requirements. EBITDA, as calculated by the
Company, may not be consistent with computations of EBITDA by
other companies. In reporting EBITDA by segment, Affiliate
expenses are allocated to a particular segment on a pro rata
basis with respect to the revenue generated by that Affiliate in
such segment.

(C)

Cash earnings per share represents Cash Net Income divided by the
adjusted diluted average shares outstanding. In this calculation,
the potential share issuance in connection with the Companys
convertible securities is measured using a treasury stock
method. Under this method, only the net number of shares of
common stock equal to the value of the contingently convertible
securities and the junior convertible trust preferred securities
in excess of par, if any, are deemed to be outstanding. The
Company believes the inclusion of net shares under a treasury
stock method best reflects the benefit of the increase in
available capital resources (which could be used to repurchase
shares of common stock) that occurs when these securities are
converted and the Company is relieved of its debt obligation.
This method does not take into account any increase or decrease
in the Companys cost of capital in an assumed conversion.

(D)

Convertible securities interest expense, net, includes the
interest expense, net of tax, associated with the Companys
contingently convertible securities and junior convertible trust
preferred securities (but excludes the interest expense
associated with the Companys mandatory convertible securities).

(E)

In the first and third quarters of 2008, the Company agreed to
transfer its interests in certain Affiliates, and also during
the first quarter of 2008, reclassified approximately $100
million of assets under management from the High Net Worth
distribution channel to each of the Mutual Fund and Institutional
distribution channels, respectively.  The financial
effect of these items is not material to the Companys ongoing
results.

(F)

The Company is required to use the equity method of accounting
for certain of its investments (equity method investments).  
Consistent with this method, the Company has not consolidated the
operating results (including the revenue) of its equity method
investments in its income statement. The Companys share of its
equity method investments profits, net of intangible
amortization, is reported in Income from equity method
investments. Income tax attributable to these profits is
reported within the Companys consolidated income tax provision.  
The assets under management of equity method investments are
included in the Companys reported assets under management.

(G)

Minority interest on the Companys income statement represents
the profits allocated to Affiliate management
owners for that period.  Minority interest on the Companys
balance sheet represents the undistributed profits

and capital owned by Affiliate management, who retain a
conditional right to sell their interests to the Company.

(H)

EITF Issue No. 04-05, Determining Whether a General Partner, or
the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership
or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights
(EITF 04-05), became effective January 1, 2006.  EITF 04-05
requires the Company to consolidate certain Affiliate
investment partnerships (including interests in the partnerships
in which the Company does not have ownership rights) in its
consolidated financial statements.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, the total non-operating loss associated with
those partnerships was $31.8 million, while the portion
attributable to the underlying investors unrelated to the Company
(the outside owners) was $30.2 million; as of September 30,
2008, the total assets attributable to these investment
partnerships was $107.4 million, while the portion owned by the
outside owners was $98.4 million.
