Second-Quarter Business Highlights:
- Revenues increased in second-quarter 2014 as compared to both second-quarter 2013 and first-quarter 2014. Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher Asset management, administration, and distribution fees from market appreciation and improved cash flows from new and existing clients.
- Revenue growth was also driven by increased information processing fees in our Private Banks segment. The increase was primarily attributable to higher fees from the growth in assets processed on the SEI Wealth PlatformSM and $6.0 million, or $.02 diluted earnings per share, in non-recurring professional services fees from a single project.
- Sales events, net of client losses, during second-quarter 2014 totaled approximately $23.1 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $17.0 million when contract values are fully realized.
- Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $23.5 billion, or 17 percent, to $164.3 billion in the second-quarter 2014, as compared to $140.9 billion during the second-quarter 2013, and increased $6.8 billion, or four percent, as compared to $157.6 billion during the first-quarter 2014.
- Our average assets under administration increased $49.2 billion, or 16 percent, to $348.4 billion in the second-quarter 2014, as compared to $299.2 billion during the second-quarter 2013, and increased $12.4 billion, or four percent, as compared to $336.0 billion during the first-quarter 2014 (see attached Ending and Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).
- All four core business segments realized revenue and profit margin growth as compared to second-quarter 2013 results. Operating margins in all four core business segments improved primarily from increased recurring revenues generated from the higher levels of assets under management and administration.
- Income from LSV increased $6.7 million, or 24 percent, to $34.5 million in second-quarter 2014 as compared to $27.8 million in second-quarter 2013 due to an increase in assets under management from market appreciation and an increase in performance fees earned by LSV.
- Stock-based compensation expense during the second-quarter 2014 decreased by $7.7 million due to the acceleration of expense recognition during the comparable period of 2013 for stock options that achieved performance vesting targets earlier than originally estimated.
- Amortization expense related to capitalized software increased to $9.5 million during the second-quarter 2014 as compared to $8.4 million during the second-quarter 2013 due to continued releases of the SEI Wealth PlatformSM.
- Net income attributable to SEI in the second-quarter 2013 reflects income of $43.4 million, or approximately $.16 diluted earnings per share, from a settlement payment received pertaining to litigation related to the purchase of securities of Cheyne Finance LLC, a SIV security.
- The effective tax rates were 35.7 percent in second-quarter 2014, 35.5 percent in second-quarter 2013, and 35.9 percent in first-quarter 2014.
- In second-quarter 2014, we repurchased 2.2 million shares of our common stock for $71.6 million.
