Second-Quarter Business Highlights:

  • Revenues from Asset management, administration, and distribution fees increased primarily from higher assets under administration in our Investment Managers segment due to market appreciation and positive cash flows from new and existing clients.
  • Average assets under administration increased $185.4 billion, or 28%, to $858.2 billion in the second-quarter 2021, as compared to $672.8 billion during the second-quarter 2020 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).
  • Average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $66.6 billion, or 29%, to $293.4 billion in the second-quarter 2021, as compared to $226.8 billion during the second-quarter 2020 primarily due to market appreciation (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).
  • Net sales events in the Private Banks and Investment Managers segments during second-quarter 2021 were $13.2 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $9.8 million when contract values are completely realized.
  • Net sales events in asset management-related businesses of the Investment Advisors and Institutional Investors segments and the Asset Management Distribution (AMD) business in the Private Banks segment during second-quarter 2021 were $2.8 million, reflecting positive asset flows in the Advisor and AMD businesses, offset by net losses in our legacy Institutional client base.
  • The increase in operational expenses was primarily due to increased direct costs related to increased revenues, as well as increased personnel costs to service new clients in our Investment Managers segment.
  • Earnings from LSV increased by $6.8 million, or 24%, to $35.1 million in second-quarter 2021, as compared to $28.3 million in second-quarter 2020. The increase in earnings was due to higher assets under management from market appreciation. Negative cash flows from existing clients and client losses partially offset the increase in earnings from LSV.
  • Stock-based compensation expense in second-quarter 2021 increased $3.0 million as compared to second-quarter 2020 due to equity awards in late 2020 and from a change in estimate of the timing of when stock-option vesting targets would be achieved. We expect to recognize $25.7 million in stock-based compensation expense during the remainder of 2021.
  • We capitalized $5.9 million of software development costs in second-quarter 2021 for continued enhancements to the SEI Wealth PlatformSM. Amortization expense related to SWP was $12.0 million in second-quarter 2021.
  • Effective tax rates were 22.3% in second-quarter 2021 and 23.3% in second-quarter 2020. The decrease in our effective tax rate was due to increased tax benefits associated with a higher volume of stock option exercises.
  • We repurchased 2.1 million shares of our common stock for $129.2 million during the second-quarter 2021.
  • Cash flow from operations was $188.4 million, or $1.31 per share, and free cash flow was $171.3 million during the second-quarter 2021.

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as ''may,'' ''will,'' ''expect,'' ''believe'' and ''continue'' or ''appear.'' Our forward-looking statements include our current expectations as to:

  • revenue that we believe will be generated by sales events that occurred during the quarter and the timing of such realization,
  • whether we will have sales momentum,
  • whether we will be able to take advantage of increasing sales demand,
  • whether we will invest in the strength and expansion of our solutions,
  • our strategic priorities and commitments and the degree to which we will execute on them,
  • the elements of our long-term success, and
  • the degree to which our business will be successful and the beneficiaries of any such success.

We anticipate that we may deliver forward-looking statements during today's earnings call that include our current expectations as to:

  • our ability to capture the opportunities inherent in significant change,
  • the timing and success of client migrations, implementations and conversions,
  • our ability to expand our relationships and revenue opportunities with new and existing clients,
  • the timing of and our ability to integrate acquisition targets,
  • the degree to which M&A activity in the industries in which we compete will affect our sales,
  • the degree to which our technology is being adopted across both our existing client base and new clients,
  • our ability to leverage our technologies and scale our businesses,
  • the degree to which one-time and transaction-based revenues during the quarter will be repeated,
  • revenue that we believe will be generated by sales events that occurred during the quarter or when our unfunded backlog may fund,
  • the strategic initiatives and business segments that we will pursue and those in which we will invest,
  • the competition for and cost of talent and the effect of these factors on our business,
  • the amount of recurring sales we will generate,
  • the strength of our pipelines and demand for our products and services,
  • the degree to which the global COVID-19 pandemic is affecting our business,
  • the momentum we may have with respect to our businesses,
  • the headwinds we will face and our strategies for how we may respond to these headwinds,
  • how we will manage our expenses and the degree to which our forecasted expenses will decline, increase or normalize,
  • when we integrate purchased assets into SWP and the timing of our ability to offer additional services to clients,
  • the organic and inorganic opportunities that will drive our growth, and
  • the success and benefits of our strategic investments.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, as they are based on the current beliefs and expectations of our management and subject to significant risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change. Although we believe the assumptions upon which we base our forward-looking statements are reasonable, they could be inaccurate. Some of the risks and important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those described in our forward-looking statements can be found in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
