Flanagan, President and CEO of Invesco. “Invesco’s shareholders have responded very positively to our Board’s September recommendation that the company move its primary listing from the London Stock Exchange to the New York Stock Exchange, and we remain on schedule for the targeted completion of this action on December 4, 2007.”

Regulatory Developments
This earnings release includes financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, with reconciliation to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Prior to July 2007, Invesco was a “foreign private issuer” for purposes of the filing and disclosure requirements under the U.S. federal securities laws. As a foreign private issuer, Invesco prepared its financial statements in accordance with IFRS, with an annual reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. Since Invesco no longer qualifies as a foreign private issuer, Invesco is required to present its financial statements in SEC periodic reports in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Like this earnings release, the financial statements to be included in Invesco’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 will be prepared in accordance with IFRS, consistent with Invesco’s past periodic reports, including its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006, and will include a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. The SEC staff has informed Invesco that it will not object to this presentation for purposes of the Form 10-Q. Invesco will begin presenting its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Also as a result of no longer qualifying as a foreign private issuer, Invesco is now subject to more extensive SEC filing requirements in the U.S. in addition to the existing requirements of the Financial Services Authority in the United Kingdom. Invesco, as previously announced, therefore intends to move its primary listing from the London Stock Exchange to the New York Stock Exchange and relocate its domicile from the United Kingdom to Bermuda. An Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders will convene on November 14, 2007, to allow shareholders to approve the change in domicile and the move of the primary listing of Invesco shares from the London Stock Exchange to the New York Stock Exchange. The company estimates that the one-time costs associated with this transition will be approximately $12 million to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Notes
1.   Accounting policies
 
    The accounting policies applied to the information in the earnings release follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in effect as of the date of this release and are consistent with those applied in the 2006 Annual Report. Refer to the 2006 Annual Report, available at www.invesco.com, for a more detailed discussion of these policies. IFRS comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board and its predecessors. As of September 30, 2007, all issued IFRS were also adopted by the European Commission, with the exception of IFRIC 14, “IAS 19 — The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction,” which is effective for periods commencing January 1, 2008, IFRS 8, “Operating Segments,” which is effective for periods commencing January 1, 2009, but which is not expected to result in changes to the company’s single-segment approach, and the amendments to IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised)” and IAS 23, “Borrowing Costs,” which are also effective for periods commencing January 1, 2009. These new standards are not expected to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements. IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures,” and the related amendment to IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements, Capital Disclosures,” are effective and were adopted for periods commencing January 1, 2007. The company has adopted IFRIC 11, “Group and Treasury Share Transactions,” which has provided additional guidance for accounting for share-based payment transactions upon award vesting between the parent and its subsidiaries. The application of IFRIC 11 did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
    The interim financial information has been prepared under the measurement and recognition principles of IFRS as permitted by the Committee of European Securities Regulators and does not purport to be a complete or condensed set of interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting.”
 
    This earnings release includes financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union, with reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. Prior to July 2007, Invesco was a “foreign private issuer” for purposes of the filing and disclosure requirements under the U.S. federal securities laws. As a foreign private issuer, Invesco prepared its financial statements in accordance with IFRS, with an annual reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. Since Invesco no longer qualifies as a foreign private issuer, Invesco is required to present its financial statements in SEC periodic reports in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Like this earnings release, the financial statements to be included in Invesco’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 will be prepared in accordance with IFRS, consistent with Invesco’s past periodic reports, including its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006, and will include a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. The SEC staff has informed Invesco that it will not

10


 

    object to this presentation for purposes of the Form 10-Q. Invesco will begin presenting its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
    As a result of no longer qualifying as a foreign private issuer, a U.S. GAAP annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed with the SEC in addition to an IFRS annual report prepared for U.K. regulations. The accounting policies applied to the information in this earnings release are expected to be consistent with those that would be applied in the 2007 IFRS Annual Report if the initiative to change the company’s primary listing and domicile described in Note 7 is not completed by December 31, 2007. If the initiative is completed prior to this date, INVESCO PLC will be replaced as the parent company by Invesco Ltd., and Invesco Ltd. will be required to report consolidated financial statements solely in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and consolidated financial statements under IFRS would no longer be required. A reconciliation of profit attributable to equity holders of the parent and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent under IFRS to net income and shareholders’ equity under U.S. GAAP is included in Note 9.
 
    Certain prior year balance sheet amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation of those amounts.
 
2.   Taxation
 
    A significant portion of the tax charge arose from U.S., U.K., and Canadian operations. The effective tax rate was 34.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (the nine months ended September 30, 2006: 35.2%).
 
3.   Earnings per share
 
    Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of ordinary and exchangeable shares outstanding during the respective periods, excluding shares purchased and held by employee trusts and held in treasury. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the effect of the potential issuance of ordinary shares.

4.   WL Ross & Co. LLC Acquisition
 
    In accordance with IFRS 3, “Business Combinations,” Invesco has completed its evaluation of the assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the purchase of WL Ross & Co., which closed in October 2006. As a result of this evaluation, $100.0 million initially included in goodwill has been reclassified to intangible assets associated with post acquisition employment arrangements, to be amortized over a period of approximately five years. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been adjusted to reflect this evaluation.
 
5.   Long-term debt
 
    On January 15, 2007, $300.0 million of 5.9% senior notes matured. The company utilized its credit facility to satisfy the maturity and on April 17, 2007 issued $300.0 million of 5.625% senior notes. The notes will mature on April 17, 2012 and pay interest semi-annually on April 17 and October 17.
 
6.   Purchases of ordinary shares
 
    The company’s global stock plan trust purchased 9.6 million ordinary shares at a cost of $114.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. These shares will be held to satisfy existing and future employee share awards under share-based payment programs.
 
    The company purchased 8.5 million ordinary shares at a cost of $105.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. These shares are held in Treasury.
 
7.   Subsequent events
 
    Between October 1, 2007 and October 8, 2007, the company purchased 1,200,000 shares at a cost of $17.1 million. On October 8, 2007, the company entered into an irrevocable, non-discretionary program to purchase shares on its own behalf up to $40.0 million (or 2.5 million shares) from October 9, 2007 to November 8, 2007. As of the close of trading on November 7, 2007, the program had acquired 2,488,843 shares at a cost of $36.4 million.
 
    Also as a result of no longer qualifying as a foreign private issuer, Invesco is now subject to more extensive SEC filing requirements in the U.S. in addition to the existing requirements of the Financial Services Authority in the United Kingdom. Invesco therefore intends to move its primary listing from the London Stock Exchange to the New York Stock Exchange and relocate its domicile from London to Bermuda. An Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders will convene on November 14, 2007, to allow shareholders to approve the change in domicile and the move of the primary listing of Invesco shares from the London Stock Exchange to the New York Stock Exchange.
 
8.   Dividends
 
    A final dividend in respect of 2006 of $0.104 per share ($86.4 million: $84.4 million for ordinary shares and $2.0 million for exchangeable shares) was approved at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 23, 2007, and was paid on May 30, 2007.

12


 

    The 2007 interim dividend of $0.082 per share ($68.6 million: $67.1 million for ordinary shares and $1.5 million for exchangeable shares) was paid on October 25, 2007, to shareholders on the register on September 21, 2007. The ex-dividend date for the dividend was September 19, 2007.
 
9.   Reconciliation to U.S. accounting principles
 
    The company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, which differ in certain material respects from U.S. GAAP.
 
    The following is a summary of material adjustments to profit attributable to equity holders of the parent, which would be required if U.S. GAAP had been applied instead of IFRS.

a: Retirement benefit plans
Under IFRS, amounts recognized as a net liability for defined benefit pension and post-retirement medical obligations include the actuarially-determined defined benefit obligation, less the fair value of plan assets, less the unrecognized net actuarial losses, plus the credit to prior service costs recognized during the year. Under U.S. GAAP, pursuant to the company’s adoption of FAS 158 in 2006, amounts recognized as a net liability on the balance sheet include only the actuarially-determined defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets (the funded status of the plans). Under U.S. GAAP, the unrecognized net actuarial losses and the credit to prior service costs are recorded directly to other comprehensive income. Additionally, upon transition to IFRS at January 1, 2004, the company’s cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses were reset to zero and accordingly are building up again only from the IFRS transition date. The combination of these items results in a greater IFRS balance sheet provision for defined benefit pension and post retirement medical plans than under U.S. GAAP. Since the cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses for the company are greater under U.S. GAAP than under IFRS, this results in greater amortization costs under U.S. GAAP.
b: Redundancy and Reorganizations
Certain amounts provided relating to redundancy and reorganization initiatives under IFRS must be expensed over the period of the related initiative under U.S. GAAP.
c: Acquisition Accounting
The company transitioned from U.K. GAAP to IFRS at January 1, 2004. Prior to this date, the U.K. GAAP treatment of goodwill arising on acquisitions prior to 1998 was to eliminate it directly against reserves. These amounts remain in reserves under IFRS. Goodwill arising in 1998 and after was capitalized and amortized through the transition date to IFRS.
Under U.S. GAAP, the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets ceased at January 1, 2002, and the balances are carried forward at cost less provision for impairment in value. There is therefore a two-year period (2002 and 2003) under which the goodwill balances were amortized, while the U.S. GAAP balances were not.
Contingent consideration payable related to acquisitions is not recorded under U.S. GAAP until the applicable conditions have been satisfied. Discounting charges related to the contingent consideration that are recorded in interest expense are similarly not recorded under U.S. GAAP.

d: Taxation
Tax expense under U.S. GAAP has been adjusted to reflect the redundancy and reorganization differences (Note b), the additional retirement benefit plan cost (Note a), and the reduction in interest expense (Note c).
Deferred tax assets have been reduced to reflect the remaining redundancy and reorganization differences (Note b), the cumulative decrease in the retirement benefit plan cost (Note a), the cumulative decrease in interest expense (Note c), and share based payments excluding the mark-to-market tax valuation applied under IFRS.
The implementation of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48) as of January 1, 2007 increased the company’s tax contingencies liability and reduced opening U.S. GAAP retained earnings by $12.6 million. There were no material increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. Additional interest in the amount of $2.4 million has been included in the taxation net income reconciling item from IFRS to U.S. GAAP, resulting in a $15.0 million decrease from IFRS shareholders’ equity to arrive at U.S. GAAP shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2007. Based on information currently available, the company does not anticipate any material changes in the liability within the next twelve months.
e. Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
Compliance with FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51,” (FIN 46R) would result in a number of investment funds being consolidated into the company’s income statement and balance sheet under U.S. GAAP that are not consolidated under IFRS. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the main impact of consolidating these investment funds would be to increase investment income by $158.5 million (nine months ended September 30, 2006: $111.6 million) offset by a similar increase in profit attributable to minority interests. Consolidation also increases our investments as at September 30, 2007 by $1,395.6 million (December 31, 2006: $1,461.3 million) again offset by a similar increase in equity attributable to minority interests. Consolidation of these investment funds would not have a material impact on the profit attributable to equity holders of the parent as reported in the income statement nor the equity attributable to equity holders of the parent reported in the balance sheet.
f. Interim Dividend
Interim dividends are recognized when paid under IFRS but are accrued when declared under U.S. GAAP.
