2 During the three months ended December 31, 2018 and the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the calculation of GAAP diluted earnings per share resulted in an increase in earnings per share. Therefore, diluted net income and diluted earnings per share are assumed to be equal to basic net income and basic earnings per share.
GAAP diluted net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share were $2.5 million and $0.15 respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and $(1.0) million and $(0.06), respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2017. GAAP diluted net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share were $55.3 million and $0.77, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, and $6.9 million and $0.40, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.
In evaluating the results of operations, management also reviews non-GAAP measures of earnings, which are adjusted to exclude accounting items that add a measure of non-operational complexity which obscures the underlying performance of the business. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, earnings were adjusted to exclude changes to the deferred tax asset and corresponding liability to the Company’s selling and converting shareholders during the fourth quarters of 2018 and 2017, and the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in the fourth quarter of 2017. As adjusted, non-GAAP diluted net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $11.6 million and $0.16, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and $55.6 million and $0.77, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. As adjusted, non-GAAP diluted net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $13.6 million and $0.19, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2017, and $44.7 million and $0.63, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. Management uses the non-GAAP measures to assess the strength of the underlying operations of the business. It believes the non-GAAP measures provide information to further analyze the Company’s operations between periods and over time. Investors should consider the non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Net income for diluted earnings per share generally assume all operating company membership units are converted into Company stock at the beginning of the reporting period, and the resulting change to Company net income associated with its increased interest in the operating company is taxed at the Company’s effective tax rate, exclusive of the adjustments noted above and other adjustments. When this conversion results in an increase in earnings per share or a decrease in loss per share, diluted net income and diluted earnings per share are assumed to be equal to basic net income and basic earnings per share for the reporting period.

Revenue was $36.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, a decrease of 8.0% from $39.6 million for the third quarter of 2018 and a decrease of 6.5% from $38.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2017.
Included in these amounts for the fourth quarter of 2018 were performance fees recognized of $0.3 million, compared to $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2018 and $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2017.
Average assets under management for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $36.1 billion, decreasing 5.7% from $38.3 billion for the third quarter of 2018, and 1.9% from $36.8 billion for the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease from the third quarter of 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily reflects market depreciation. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2017 was partially offset by net inflows.
The weighted average fee rate was 0.404% for the fourth quarter of 2018, decreasing from 0.413% for the third quarter of 2018, and decreasing from 0.423% for the fourth quarter of 2017.
The weighted average fee rate for separately managed accounts was 0.541% for the fourth quarter of 2018, decreasing from 0.547% for the third quarter of 2018, and decreasing from 0.560% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease from third quarter of 2018 and fourth quarter of 2017 reflects an increase in large client relationships that generally carry lower fee rates. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2017 also reflects a decrease in performance fees recognized during the fourth quarter of 2018.
The weighted average fee rate for sub-advised accounts was 0.289% for the fourth quarter of 2018, decreasing from 0.302% for the third quarter of 2018, and from 0.302% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease from third quarter of 2018 and fourth quarter of 2017 reflects a decrease in performance fees recognized during the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition, certain accounts related to one retail client relationship have fulcrum fee arrangements. These fee arrangements require a reduction in the base fee or allow for a performance fee if the relevant investment strategy underperforms or outperforms, respectively, the agreed-upon benchmark over the contract’s measurement period, which extends to three years. During the fourth quarter of 2018 a reduction in base fees related to these fee arrangements was recognized. A reduction in base fees was not recognized during the third quarter of 2018 or fourth quarter of 2017. To the extent the three-year performance records of these accounts fluctuate relative to their relevant benchmarks, the amount of base fees recognized may vary.
The weighted average fee rate for Pzena funds was 0.644% for the fourth quarter of 2018, decreasing from 0.668% for the third quarter of 2018, and from 0.737% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2017 reflects the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, which requires fund expense cap reimbursements to be presented net against revenue. The Company adopted the new revenue recognition standard as of January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach, and thus prior periods have not been restated. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition presentation change, the weighted average fee rate for Pzena funds was 0.692% for the fourth quarter of 2018, decreasing from 0.703% for the third quarter of 2018 and from 0.737% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2017 reflects a decrease in performance fees recognized during the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease from the third quarter of 2018 reflects an increase in assets in products that generally carry higher fee rates.
Total operating expenses were $17.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, decreasing from $19.4 million for the third quarter of 2018 and from $18.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease in operating expenses from the third quarter of 2018 reflects a decrease in compensation expense, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative costs. Compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2018 reflects a decrease in compensation rates. The increase in general and administrative expenses from the third quarter of 2018 reflects an increase in professional fees. The decrease in operating expenses from the fourth quarter of 2017 reflects a decrease in compensation expense, as well as a decrease in general and administrative expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects a decrease in professional fees.

The operating margin was 52.1% for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 50.9% for the third quarter of 2018, and 53.8% for the fourth quarter of 2017.
Other (expense)/ income was an expense of approximately $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, income of $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2018, and income of $22.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2017.
Other (expense)/ income primarily reflects the fluctuations in the gains/ (losses) and other investment income recognized by the Company on its direct equity investments, the majority of which are held to satisfy obligations under its deferred compensation plan. Other (expense)/ income also includes a portion of gains/ (losses) and other investment income recognized by external investors on their investments in investment partnerships that the Company consolidates, which are offset in net income attributable to non-controlling interests. During the fourth quarter of 2017, other (expense)/ income included $20.8 million of income associated with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Excluding the outside interests of the Company’s investment partnerships and the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, other (expense)/ income was an expense of approximately $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, income of $0.6 million for third quarter of 2018, and income of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017.
