SEI Investments (SEIC) Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Stock Down
Read MoreHide Full Article
SEI Investments Co.’s (SEIC - Free Report) second-quarter 2023 earnings of 89 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 85 cents. The bottom line reflects a rise of 10% from the prior-year quarter.
Results benefited from higher revenues and an increase in assets under management (AUM) balance. However, rising expenses acted as an undermining factor. Shares of SEIC lost 1.5% in after-hours trading.
Net income was $118.9 million, up 7% from the year-ago quarter. Our estimate for the metric was $110.3 million.
Revenues & AUM Rise, Expenses Increase
Total revenues were $489.1 million, up 2% year over year. The rise was driven by higher asset management, administration and distribution fees, and information processing and software servicing fees. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $479.7 million.
Total expenses were $376.5 million, increasing 3%. The rise was due to higher compensation, benefits and other personnel costs; data processing and computer-related expenses; facilities, supplies and other costs; and depreciation costs. Our estimate for expenses was $364 million.
Operating income fell 3% year over year to $112.6 million.
As of Jun 30, 2023, AUM was $418 billion, reflecting a rise of 4%. Our estimate for AUM was $402 billion.
Client assets under administration (AUA) were $877.7 billion, down 3%. Client AUA did not include $11.7 billion related to Funds of Funds assets reported on Jun 30, 2023.
Share Repurchase Update
In the reported quarter, SEI Investments bought back 1.3 million shares for $75.5 million.
Conclusion
Persistently rising expenses are expected to hurt the company’s bottom line to an extent in the near term. SEIC’s increased exposure to fee-based revenues is another major concern. However, its robust AUM balance, global presence and diverse range of product offerings are expected to continue driving growth.
