Performance
Inception Date: 10.31.2014. The performance information depicted above represents Cambiar’s Europe Select ADR Composite. Returns are presented gross (g) and net (n) of management fees. For the periods after 2015, the composite’s returns include accounts with gross and “pure” gross performance and are presented as supplemental information. Prior to 2015, the composite contained accounts whose gross performance is reduced by transaction costs. “Pure” gross returns do not reflect the deduction of any expenses, including transaction costs. “Pure” gross returns are applicable to separately managed accounts that are part of broker-affiliated or broker-sponsored programs, including wrap programs, which waive commission costs or bundle fees including commissions (SMAs). Net returns are reduced by transaction costs and actual investment advisory fees and other expenses that may be incurred in the management of the account. SMAs often incur bundled fees, charged by the wrap sponsor or affiliated broker, that may include transaction costs, investment management, portfolio monitoring, consulting services, and custody fees. Net returns for SMAs are calculated by deducting the investment advisory fees from the client’s account as reported by the wrap sponsor or affiliated broker, or as received by Cambiar. Cambiar clients may incur actual fee rates that are greater or less than the rate reflected in this performance summary. Fees will vary based on the assets in the accounts. Returns are reported in U.S. dollars.
Performance results for the Europe Select ADR Composite are evaluated against the MSCI Europe Index. The MSCI Europe Index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index that measures equity market performance of European developed markets. The index assumes no management, custody, transaction or other expenses. The MSCI Europe Index is a broadly based index which reflects the overall market performance and Cambiar’s returns may not be correlated to the index. The index is unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Cambiar’s performance and the performance of the MSCI Europe Index include the reinvestment of all income. Benchmark returns are net of withholding taxes. Prior to July 2019, Cambiar typically followed each custodian’s treatment of tax withholding and therefore dividends may have been presented as gross or net of dividend tax withholding depending on the custodian’s treatment. As of July 2019, Cambiar typically records dividends net of withholding taxes although it may depend on various factors such as the issue country and custodian’s treatment. Withholding taxes may vary according to the investor’s domicile, and other reasons. Performance is preliminary; please contact us for finalized figures. As with any investments, there are risks to be considered. Past performance is no indication of future results.

Composition
Quality
Target strong operating performance – Above average internal financial/operating performance reflective of sound capital allocation, structural product, and/or advantaged market position.
Pursuing persistence of these metrics is key.
Low leverage – Owned companies should possess a strong balance sheet and low leverage (typically less than 3x for non-financial businesses).
* See Disclosure
Valuation
Individual stock valuation levels and associated price-sensitivity at entry are critical investment process inputs.
Portfolio will not sacrifice quality to achieve low aggregate statutory valuation metrics.
Value creation from intangible assets (and thus not considered in book value) also taken into consideration.
Conviction
Portfolio seeks to achieve a balance between high conviction and prudent diversification across sector/industry and drivers of return.
Bottom-up portfolio construction is willfully agnostic to the index, yet PMs maintain an ongoing awareness of relative exposures.

Definitions:
Active Share – A measure of the percentage of stock holdings in a manager’s portfolio that differ from the benchmark index. calculated by taking the sum of the absolute value of the differences of the weight of each holding in the manager\’s portfolio versus the weight of each holding in the benchmark index and dividing by two.
Dividend Yield – A financial ratio that indicates how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. Dividend yield is represented as a percentage and can be calculated by dividing the dollar value of dividends paid in a given year per share of stock held by the dollar value of one share of stock.
EBITDA – Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is one indicator of a company’s financial performance and is used as a proxy for the earning potential of a business.
Market Cap – Refers the total dollar market value of a company’s outstanding shares. Commonly referred to as “market cap,” it is calculated by multiplying a company’s shares outstanding by the current market price of one share.
Median – The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average.
Net Debt to EBITDA – A leverage ratio calculated as a company’s interest-bearing liabilities minus cash or cash equivalents, divided by its EBITDA.
Price to Book (P/B) – A ratio used to compare a stock’s market value to its book value. It is calculated by dividing the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarter’s book value per share.
Price to Earnings (P/E) – The ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its per-share earnings.
Return on Assets (ROA) – An indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets, calculated by dividing net income by total assets.
Return on Equity (ROE) – A measure of financial performance calculated by dividing net income by common shareholders’ equity. Because shareholders’ equity is equal to a company’s assets minus its debt, ROE is considered the return on net assets. ROE is considered a measure of how effectively management is using a company’s assets to create profits. 5-Year average is used for this metric..
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) – A calculation used to assess a company’s efficiency at allocating the capital under its control to profitable investments. The return on invested capital ratio gives a sense of how well a company is using its money to generate returns.
Weighted Average – An average in which each quantity to be averaged is assigned a weight, and these weightings determine the relative importance of each quantity on the average.
