Read MoreHide Full Article
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for SEI Investments (SEIC - Free Report) . Shares have added about 6.6% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is SEI due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
SEI Investments' Q2 Earnings Miss, Costs & AUM Rise Y/Y
SEI Investments’ second-quarter 2022 earnings of 81 cents per share lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. The bottom line reflects a decline of 12.9% from the prior-year quarter.
Results were hurt by a rise in expenses. However, growth in revenues and an increase in assets under management balance were tailwinds.
Net income was $111.3 million, down 16.8% from the year-ago quarter.
Revenues, Expenses & AUM Rise
Total revenues were $481.7 million, up 1.3% 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 $471.7 million.
Total expenses were $365.8 million, up 7.7% year over year. The rise was due to an increase in all cost components, except for sub-advisory, distribution and other asset management costs, software royalties and other information processing costs, stock-based compensation expenses and depreciation charges.
Operating income declined 14.8% year over year to $115.9 million.
As of Jun 30, 2022, AUM was $403.6 billion, reflecting a rise of 1.1% from the prior-year quarter. Client assets under administration (AUA) were $889 billion, up 1% year over year. Client AUA did not include $12.9 billion related to Funds of Funds assets reported on Jun 30, 2022.
