SEI Investments' (SEIC) Q1 Earnings Meet, Revenues Rise
Read MoreHide Full Article
SEI Investments Co.’s (SEIC - Free Report) first-quarter 2022 earnings of $1.36 per share were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The bottom line reflects a 53% jump from the prior-year quarter.
The reported quarter comprised a one-time early termination fee of $88 million or 47 cents per share, which was included in information processing and software servicing fees. After excluding this, earnings per share would have been 89 cents in the first quarter.
Results were aided by revenue growth and an increase in assets under management (AUM) balance. These were offset by a rise in expenses.
Net income was $190.3 million, surging 47% from the year-ago quarter.
Revenues, Expenses & AUM Rise
Total revenues were $581.4 million, up 28% year over year. The upswing reflects an increase in both asset management, administration and distribution fees and information processing and software servicing fees. The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $558.1 million.
Total expenses were $366.6 million, up 14%. The rise was due to an increase in all cost components, except for depreciation charges.
Operating income jumped 62% to $214.8 million.
As of Mar 31, 2022, AUM was $385.3 billion, reflecting a marginal rise from the prior-year quarter. Client assets under administration (AUA) were $899.6 billion, up 8%. Client AUA did not include $13.3 billion related to Funds of Funds assets reported on Mar 31, 2022.
Share Repurchase Update
In the reported quarter, SEI Investments bought back 1.7 million shares for $100.1 million.
Conclusion
Of late, SEIC has been on an acquisition spree, and this is expected to significantly improve in market share and top line. Its robust AUM balance, global presence and diverse range of product offerings are expected to continue to drive growth. Also, the company’s technological innovation and rising demand for the SEI Wealth Platform across several financial institutions will keep supporting financials.
