Third-Quarter Business Highlights:
- Revenue growth in the quarter was primarily driven by higher Asset management, administration, and distribution fees from market appreciation and improved cash flows from new and existing clients.
- Sales events, net of client losses, during third-quarter 2016 totaled approximately $14.6 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $11.6 million when contract values are fully realized.
- Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $22.4 billion, or 13 percent, to $195.2 billion, as compared to $172.8 billion during the third-quarter 2015 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).
- Our average assets under administration increased $57.7 billion, or 15 percent, to $455.5 billion in the third-quarter 2016, as compared to $397.8 billion during the third-quarter 2015 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).
- We recorded $1.6 million in non-recurring revenues in our Private Banks segment due to a contract buyout from an investment processing bank client.
- Our earnings from LSV decreased by $1.0 million, or three percent, to $32.6 million in third-quarter 2016 as compared to $33.6 million in third-quarter 2015. The decline in earnings was due to increased personnel expenses of LSV.
- We capitalized $13.6 million and $6.4 million of software development costs in third-quarter 2016 and 2015, respectively, of which $11.3 million and $5.7 million are related to continued enhancements to the SEI Wealth Platform.
- Amortization expense related to the SEI Wealth Platform increased to $11.3 million during the third-quarter 2016 as compared to $10.8 million during the third-quarter 2015 due to continued enhancements.
- In the third-quarter 2015, we wrote off approximately $6.0 million, or $0.02 diluted earnings per share, in previously capitalized software development costs and purchased software related to the SEI Wealth Platform.
- Our operating expenses, primarily personnel costs, in our Investment Managers segment increased. These expenses primarily consist of operational and marketing costs and are mainly related to servicing existing clients and acquiring and implementing new clients.
- The stronger U.S. dollar against the British pound during the third-quarter 2016 compared to the third-quarter 2015 negatively impacted the revenues of our Private Banks and Institutional Investors segments by $2.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and operating income by $1.0 million for each of the two segments.
- Our effective tax rates were 33.8 percent in third-quarter 2016 and 34.1 percent in third-quarter 2015.
- We repurchased 1.6 million shares of our common stock for $73.4 million during the third-quarter 2016.
