SEI Q1 2022 Earnings Report

Reported financial results for the first quarter of 2022.

Key Takeaways

SEI Investments Company reported first-quarter 2022 financial results, with diluted earnings per share of $1.36 compared to $0.89 in first-quarter 2021, which includes a one-time revenue event of $88.0 million, or $0.47 per share net of associated costs. Revenues increased by 28% to $581.44 million, and net income increased by 47% to $190.31 million.

Revenues from asset management, administration, and distribution fees increased due to higher assets under management and administration from market appreciation during 2021 and positive cash flows, though this was partially offset by the decline in market conditions during the first quarter 2022.

A significant, uninstalled investment processing client terminated an agreement for convenience, resulting in one-time fees of $88.0 million during first-quarter 2022, impacting diluted earnings per share by $0.47 net of associated costs.

Average assets under administration increased $71.8 billion, or 9%, to $893.4 billion in the first-quarter 2022.

Net sales events, excluding the cancelled contract item, in the Private Banks and Investment Managers segments during first-quarter 2022 were $26.6 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $24.7 million when contract values are completely realized.
