Second-Quarter Business Highlights:
- Revenues from Asset management, administration, and distribution fees increased primarily from higher assets under administration in our Investment Managers segment.
- Our average assets under administration increased $78.3 billion, or 14 percent, to $623.6 billion in the second-quarter 2019, as compared to $545.3 billion during the second-quarter 2018 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).
- Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $1.6 billion, or one percent, to $228.6 billion in the second-quarter 2019, as compared to $227.0 billion during the second-quarter 2018 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).
- Information processing and software servicing fees in our Private Banks segment decreased by $3.4 million due to decreased non-recurring fees and previously announced client losses.
- Our Subadvisory, distribution and other asset management costs increased in second-quarter 2019, primarily from higher assets under management.
- Sales events, net of client losses, during second-quarter 2019 totaled approximately $12.7 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $10.8 million when contract values are fully realized.
- Our earnings from LSV decreased by $3.2 million, or eight percent, to $37.8 million in second-quarter 2019 as compared to $41.1 million in second-quarter 2018. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to a decline in assets under management from market depreciation, as well as reduced performance fees earned by LSV and negative cash flows.
- Our operating expenses during the second-quarter 2019 decreased primarily due to cost containment measures implemented in late 2018 and early 2019. These measures mainly impacted personnel compensation and consulting costs.
- Total expenses during the second-quarter 2019 in our Investment Advisors segment included approximately $400 thousand of fixed costs associated with TRUST 3000®.
- We capitalized $9.0 million of software development costs in second-quarter 2019 for continued enhancements to the SEI Wealth PlatformSM (SWP). Amortization expense related to SWP was $10.5 million in second-quarter 2019.
- Our effective tax rates were 22.1 percent in second-quarter 2019 and 21.1 percent in second-quarter 2018. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to reduced tax benefits from a lower volume of stock option exercise activity during the quarter as compared to the prior year period.
- We repurchased 1.8 million shares of our common stock for $97.0 million during the second-quarter 2019.
