(SIDCO), in accordance with certain rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission for broker-dealers.

The Company capitalized $7,330 and $9,408 of software development costs for significant enhancements to the Platform during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

6 of 34

years. Amortization expense for the Platform was $10,301 and $9,110 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Earnings per Share

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are:



	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015
	Income (Numerator)		Shares (Denominator)	Per Share Amount
Basic earnings per common share	$	84,611	166,695,000	$	0.51
Dilutive effect of stock options	—		4,008,000
Diluted earnings per common share	$	84,611	170,703,000	$	0.50



	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
	Income (Numerator)		Shares (Denominator)	Per Share Amount
Basic earnings per common share	$	74,820	169,306,000	$	0.44
Dilutive effect of stock options	—		4,522,000
Diluted earnings per common share	$	74,820	173,828,000	$	0.43

Employee stock options to purchase 10,051,000 and 4,389,000 shares of common stock, with an average exercise price of $30.02 and $32.40, were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the option’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock or the performance conditions have not been satisfied or would have been satisfied if the reporting date was the end of the contingency period and the effect on diluted earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The updated standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 currently becomes effective for the Company during the first quarter 2017. In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one year delay of the effective date of ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On February 18, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02). The new guidance applies to entities in all industries and provides a new scope exception to registered money market funds and similar unregistered money market funds. It makes targeted amendments to the current consolidation guidance and ends the deferral granted to investment companies from applying the VIE guidance. ASU 2015-02 becomes effective for the Company during the first quarter 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.


Note 2.	Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

LSV Asset Management

The Company has an investment in LSV Asset Management (LSV), a registered investment advisor that provides investment advisory services primarily to institutions, including pension plans and investment companies. LSV is currently an investment sub-advisor for a limited number of SEI-sponsored mutual funds. The Company accounts for its interest in LSV using the equity method because of its less than 50 percent ownership. The Company’s interest in the net assets of LSV is reflected in Investment in unconsolidated affiliates on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and its interest in the earnings of LSV is reflected in Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At March 31, 2015, the Company’s total investment in LSV was $50,282. The Company receives partnership distributions from LSV on a quarterly basis. The Company received partnership distributions from LSV of $37,003 and $31,505 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company’s proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $34,345 and $32,216 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The following table contains the condensed financial operations of LSV for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015		2014
Revenues	$	105,895	$	95,773
Net income	87,425		81,923

Guaranty Agreement with LSV Employee Group III

In October 2012, LSV Employee Group III purchased a portion of the partnership interest of three existing LSV employees for $77,700, of which $69,930 was financed through two syndicated term loan facilities contained in a credit agreement with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The Company provided an unsecured guaranty for $45,000 of the obligations of LSV Employee Group III to the lenders through a guaranty agreement. The lenders have the right to seek payment from the Company in the event of a default by LSV Employee Group III. LSV agreed to provide an unsecured guaranty for $24,930 of the obligations of LSV Employee Group III to the lenders through a separate guaranty agreement.

The Company’s direct interest in LSV was unchanged as a result of this transaction. The Company has determined that LSV Employee Group III is a VIE; however, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of LSV Employee Group III either directly or through any financial responsibility from the guaranty.

In September 2014, LSV Employee Group III made the final principal payment related to the term loan guaranteed by LSV. As of April 17, 2015, the remaining unpaid principal balance of the term loan guaranteed by the Company was $33,979. LSV Employee Group III has met all financial obligations to date regarding the scheduled repayment of the term loans since origination. The Company, in its capacity as guarantor, currently has no obligation of payment relating to the term loan of LSV Employee Group III and, furthermore, fully expects that LSV Employee Group III will meet all of their future obligations regarding the term loan.

Note 3. Variable Interest Entities – Investment Products

The Company or its affiliates have created numerous investment products for its clients in various types of legal entity structures. The Company serves as the Manager, Administrator and Distributor for these investment products and may also serve as the Trustee for some of the investment products. Clients are the equity investors and participate in proportion to their ownership percentage in the net income or loss and net capital gains or losses of the products, and, on liquidation, will participate in proportion to their ownership percentage in the remaining net assets of the products after satisfaction of outstanding liabilities.

An entity that lacks decision-making rights is a VIE. In some circumstances, the Manager or Trustee of the Company’s investment products controls the governing decisions about the investment activities with respect to the ongoing operations of the investment products without the equity investors possessing the right to remove the Manager or Trustee. Therefore, the

9 of 34

equity investors, as a group, do not have the ability to make decisions that have an impact on the ongoing activities of such investment products. Consequently, some of the Company’s investment products have been determined to be VIEs at inception.

The VIEs are marketed with investment objectives to generate positive returns; however, the nature of such investments exposes the investors to the risk that the value of the VIEs may increase or decrease. The purpose and design of the VIEs are to achieve the investment objective by implementing strategies which are designed to minimize potential losses; however, there is no assurance given that these strategies will be successful.

The Company does not have a significant equity investment in any of the VIEs and does not have an obligation to enter into any guarantee agreements with the VIEs. The fees paid to the decision maker of a VIE are considered to be variable interests if the decision maker is not subject to substantive kick-out rights. The fees paid to the Company represent a variable interest when the decision maker is not subject to substantive kick-out rights.

The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because the expected fees and the expected return on any investment into the VIE by the Company relative to the expected returns of the VIE to the equity investor holders does not approach 50 percent of the expected losses or gains of the VIEs. Therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate any investment products that are VIEs into its financial statements. The Company’s variable interest in the VIEs, which consists of management fees and in some situations, seed capital, would not be considered a significant variable interest.

The risks to the Company associated with its involvement with any of the investment products that are VIEs are limited to the cash flows received from the revenue generated for asset management, administration and distribution services and any equity investments in the VIEs. Both of these items are immaterial. The Company has no other financial obligation to the VIEs.

Amounts relating to fees due from the VIEs included in Receivables and amounts relating to equity investments in the VIEs included in Investments Available for Sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are immaterial to the total current assets of the Company.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities is determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s Level 1 financial assets consist mainly of investments in open-ended mutual funds that are quoted daily. Level 2 financial assets consist of Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) mortgage-backed securities held by the Company's wholly-owned limited purpose federal thrift subsidiary, SEI Private Trust Company (SPTC), Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other U.S. government agency short-term notes and investment grade commercial paper held by SIDCO, and investment funds sponsored by LSV. The financial assets held by SIDCO were purchased as part of a cash management program requiring only short term, top-tier investment grade government and corporate securities. The financial assets held by SPTC are debt securities issued by GNMA and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These securities were purchased for the sole purpose of satisfying applicable regulatory requirements and have maturity dates which range from 2020 to 2043.

The valuation of the Company's Level 2 financial assets held by SIDCO and SPTC are based upon securities pricing policies and procedures utilized by third-party pricing vendors. As a practical expedient, the Company relies on the net asset values (NAVs) of the investment funds sponsored by LSV as the fair value. The NAVs of the funds are calculated by the funds' independent custodian and are derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the reporting date.

The pricing policies and procedures applied during the three months ended March 31, 2015 were consistent with those as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2014. The Company had no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. There were no transfers of financial assets between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The securities had a fair value of $21,192 and $21,175 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. There were no material net gains or losses from the change in fair value of the securities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Note 7. Line of Credit

The Company has a five-year $300,000 Credit Agreement (the Credit Facility) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and a syndicate of other lenders. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire in February 2017, at which time any aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding becomes payable in full. Any borrowings made under the Credit Facility will accrue interest at 1.25 percent above LIBOR. There is also a commitment fee equal to 0.15 percent per annum on the daily unused portion of the facility. The aggregate amount of the Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $100,000 under certain conditions set forth in the agreement. The Credit Facility contains covenants that restrict the ability of the Company to engage in mergers, consolidations, asset sales, investments, transactions with affiliates, or to incur liens, as defined in the agreement. In the event of a default under the Credit Facility, the Company would also be restricted from paying dividends on, or repurchasing, its common stock without the approval of the lenders. None of the covenants of the Credit Facility negatively affect the Company’s liquidity or capital resources. Both the interest rate and commitment fee prices may increase if the Company’s leverage ratio reaches certain levels. Upon the occurrence of certain financial or economic events, significant corporate events, or certain other events of default constituting an event of default under the Credit Facility, all loans outstanding may be declared immediately due and payable and all commitments under the agreement may be terminated. The Company had no borrowings under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2015. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Note 8. Shareholders’ Equity

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has only non-qualified stock options outstanding under the its equity compensation plans. All outstanding stock options have performance-based vesting provisions specific to each option grant that tie the vesting of the applicable stock options to the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s stock options vest at a rate of 50 percent when specified diluted earnings per share targets are achieved, and the remaining 50 percent when secondary, higher specified diluted earnings per share targets are achieved. Options do not vest due to the passage of time but solely as a result of achievement of the financial vesting targets. The amount of stock-based compensation expense is based upon management’s estimate of when the earnings per share targets may be achieved.

13 of 34

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in its Consolidated Financial Statements in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Stock-based compensation expense	$	3,750		$	2,823
Less: Deferred tax benefit	(1,308		)	(1,011		)
Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	2,442		$	1,812

As of March 31, 2015, there was approximately $54,326 of unrecognized compensation cost remaining, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to unvested employee stock options that management expects will vest and is being amortized.

The Company issues new common shares associated with the exercise of stock options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $18,742. The total options exercisable as of March 31, 2015 had an intrinsic value of $221,902. The total intrinsic value for options exercisable is calculated as the difference between the market value of the Company’s common stock as of March 31, 2015 and the weighted average exercise price of the shares. The market value of the Company’s common stock as of March 31, 2015 was $44.09 as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC. The weighted average exercise price of the options exercisable as of March 31, 2015 was $20.52. Total options that were outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2015 were 19,469,000 and 9,415,000, respectively.

Common Stock Buyback

The Company’s Board of Directors, under multiple authorizations, has authorized the repurchase of the Company’s common stock on the open market or through private transactions. The Company purchased 1,512,000 shares at a total cost of $65,321 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The cost of stock purchases during the period includes the cost of certain transactions that settled in the following quarter. As of April 17, 2015, the Company has $37,392 of authorization remaining for the purchase of common stock under the program.

The Company immediately retires its common stock when purchased. Upon retirement, the Company reduces Capital in excess of par value for the average capital per share outstanding and the remainder is charged against Retained earnings. If the Company reduces its Retained earnings to zero, any subsequent purchases of common stock will be charged entirely to Capital in excess of par value.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $14,373 and $14,018, respectively, exclusive of interest and penalties, of which $12,528 and $12,162 would affect the effective tax rate if the Company were to recognize the tax benefit.

The Company classifies interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the combined amount of accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on tax returns was $1,189 and $1,066, respectively.



	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties	$	14,373	$	14,018
Interest and penalties on unrecognized benefits	1,189		1,066
Total gross uncertain tax positions	$	15,562	$	15,084
Amount included in Current liabilities	$	4,771	$	4,757
Amount included in Other long-term liabilities	10,791		10,327
	$	15,562	$	15,084

The Company’s effective tax rate was 35.4 percent and 35.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in the tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 relates to the increase in the usage of foreign tax credits. The Research and Development Tax Credit had expired for both three month periods ended March 31, 2015 or 2014.

16 of 34

The Company files income tax returns in the United States on a consolidated basis and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to examination of income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other domestic and foreign tax authorities. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for years before 2011 and is no longer subject to state, local or foreign income tax examinations by authorities for years before 2009.

The Company estimates it will recognize $4,771 of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months due to the expiration of the statute of limitations and resolution of income tax audits. These unrecognized tax benefits are related to tax positions taken on certain federal, state, and foreign tax returns. However, the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year. While it is reasonably possible that some issues under examination could be resolved in the next twelve months, based upon the current facts and circumstances, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the timing of such resolution or total range of potential changes as it relates to the current unrecognized tax benefits that are recorded as part of the Company’s financial statements.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various claims and legal proceedings.

SEI has been named in six lawsuits filed in Louisiana. Five lawsuits were filed in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge. One of the five actions purports to set forth claims on behalf of a class and also names SPTC as a defendant. Two of the other actions also name SPTC as a defendant. All five actions name various defendants in addition to SEI, and, in all five actions, the plaintiffs purport to bring a cause of action against SEI and/or SPTC under the Louisiana Securities Act. Two of the five actions include claims for violations of the Louisiana Racketeering Act and possibly conspiracy. In addition, another group of plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the 23rd Judicial District Court for the Parish of Ascension against SEI and SPTC and other defendants, asserting claims of negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the uniform fiduciaries law, negligent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, violations of the Louisiana Securities Act and Louisiana Racketeering Act, and conspiracy. The underlying allegations in all actions relate to the purported role of SPTC in providing back-office services to Stanford Trust Company. The petitions allege that SEI and SPTC aided and abetted or otherwise participated in the sale of “certificates of deposit” issued by Stanford International Bank.

The case filed in Ascension Parish was removed to federal court and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The schedule for responding to that petition has not yet been established.

The plaintiffs in two of the cases filed in East Baton Rouge have granted SEI and SPTC an indefinite extension to respond to the petitions.

In a third East Baton Rouge action, brought as a class action, SEI and SPTC filed exceptions, which the Court granted in part, dismissing the claims under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act. Plaintiffs then filed a motion for class certification, and SEI and SPTC also filed a motion for summary judgment. The Court deferred the motion for summary judgment, stating that the motion would not be set for hearing until after the hearing on class certification. After the Court held a hearing on class certification, it certified a class composed of persons who purchased or renewed any Stanford International Bank certificates of deposit (SIB CDs) in Louisiana between January 1, 2007 and February 13, 2009 or any person for whom the Stanford Trust Company purchased SIB CDs in Louisiana between January 1, 2007 and February 13, 2009. SEI and SPTC filed motions for appeal from the class certification judgments. On February 1, 2013, plaintiffs filed a motion for Leave to File a First Amended and Restated Class Action Petition in which they asked the Court to allow them to amend the petition and add claims against certain of SEI's insurance carriers. On February 5, 2013, the Court granted two of the motions for appeal and the motion for leave to amend. On February 28, 2013, SEI responded to the First Amended and Restated Class Action Petition by seeking dismissal of the action. On March 11, 2013, the newly-added insurance carrier defendants removed the case to the Middle District of Louisiana. SEI notified the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) of this case as a potential tag-along action. Plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the action to state court. On March 25, 2013, SEI filed a motion requesting that the federal court decline to adopt the state court's order regarding class certification, which the court dismissed without prejudice to renew upon a determination of the jurisdictional issue. On August 7, 2013, the MDL Panel transferred the matter against SEI to the Northern District of Texas. On October 1, 2014, SEI filed a renewed motion to dismiss in the Northern District of Texas, and on October 6, 2014, the District Court denied plaintiffs’ motion to remand. This case is now pending in the Northern District of Texas, and SEI is awaiting a ruling on its motion to dismiss.

17 of 34

Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that order, and the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment on February 26, 2014. The matter was remanded to state court and no material activity has taken place since that date.

While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain given its early phase, SEI and SPTC believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously. Because of the uncertainty of the make-up of the classes, the specific theories of liability that may survive a motion for summary judgment or other dispositive motion, the lack of discovery regarding damages, causation, mitigation and other aspects that may ultimately bear upon loss, the Company is not reasonably able to provide an estimate of loss, if any, with respect to the foregoing lawsuits.

A lawsuit entitled Steven Curd and Rebel Curd v. SEI Investments Management Corporation was filed against SIMC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on December 11, 2013. On August 28, 2014, the Court granted SIMC’s motion to dismiss the initial complaint in the lawsuit, but also granted plaintiffs leave to amend the complaint. On October 2, 2014, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In the amended complaint, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (SGFS) was added as a defendant. The plaintiffs bring the case as a shareholder derivative action against SIMC and SGFS on behalf of certain SEI funds. The claims are based on Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which allows shareholders of a mutual fund to sue the investment adviser of the fund or its affiliates for an alleged breach of fiduciary duty with respect to compensation received by the adviser or its affiliates. The plaintiffs have brought the suit against SIMC and SGFS with respect to five specific SEI Funds: the High Yield Bond, Tax-Managed Large Cap, and Tax-Managed Small/Mid Cap Funds, each of which is a series of the SEI Institutional Managed Trust, the Intermediate Term Municipal Fund, which is a series of the SEI Tax Exempt Trust, and the International Equity Fund, which is a series of the SEI Institutional International Trust (the SEI Funds). The plaintiffs seek: (1) damages for the SEI Funds in the amount of the alleged “excessive” fees earned by SIMC and SGFS beginning from the one year period prior to the filing of the lawsuit, plus interest, costs, and fees; (2) orders declaring that SIMC and SGFS allegedly violated Section 36(b) and enjoining SIMC and SGFS from further alleged violations; and (3) rescission of SIMC’s and SGFS’s contracts with the funds, and restitution of all allegedly excessive fees paid beginning from the one year period prior to the filing of the lawsuit, plus interest, costs, and fees. On November 24, 2014, SIMC and SGFS filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The court has not yet ruled on that motion. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain given its early phase, SIMC and SGFS believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously, and SIMC and SGFS are not reasonably able to provide an estimate of the ultimate loss, if any, with respect to this lawsuit.

On November 26, 2014, a Writ of Summons was issued to two of our subsidiaries, SEI Investments - Global Fund Services Limited (GFSL) and SEI Investments - Trustee & Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (T&C), to appear before the Court of First Instance Antwerp, Belgium. The plaintiffs in this case allege that through their initial investments in collective investment funds domiciled in Netherlands and subsequent transfer of claim rights to a Belgium domiciled partnership, they are beneficial owners of a portfolio of life settlement policies (the Portfolio) which lapsed due to a failure to make premium payments. The plaintiffs seek to recover jointly and severally from nine defendants including GFSL and T&C, damages of approximately $84 million. GFSL and T&C’s involvement in the litigation appears to arise out of their historical provision of administration and custody services, respectively, to the Strategic Life Settlement Fund PLC , who, together with its managers, appear to be the principal defendants in this claim. While the outcome of this action is uncertain given its early phase and the lack of specific theories of liability asserted against GFSL and T&C, each of GFSL and T&C believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Note 13. Sale of SEI Asset Korea

On July 31, 2012, the Company, MetLife International Holdings, Inc. (MetLife) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) entered into a definitive agreement with Baring Asset Management Limited (Barings) to sell all ownership interest in SEI Asset Korea (SEI AK). SEI AK was located in South Korea and provided domestic equity and fixed income investment management services to financial institutions and pension funds.

On March 28, 2013, all conditions subject to closing the transaction were satisfied and all ownership interests in SEI AK were transferred to Barings. Under the terms of the agreement, a portion of the purchase price was paid upon closing with up to an additional $11,220 payable to the Company as a contingent purchase price with respect to three one-year periods ending on December 31, 2013, 2014, and 2015 depending upon whether SEI AK achieves specified revenue measures during such periods.

Overview

Consolidated Summary

We are a leading global provider of investment processing, investment management and investment operations solutions. We help corporations, financial institutions, financial advisors and ultra-high-net-worth families create and manage wealth by providing comprehensive, innovative, investment and investment-business solutions. Investment processing fees are earned as monthly fees for contracted services, including computer processing services, software licenses and investment operations services, as well as transaction-based fees for providing securities valuation and trade-execution.

Our affiliate, LSV Asset Management (LSV), manages $84.1 billion of assets which are included as assets under management.

Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were:

The following items had a significant impact on our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

•

Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher Asset management, administration and distribution fees from improved cash flows from new and existing clients and market appreciation. Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $14.9 billion, or nine percent, to $172.5 billion in the first three months of 2015 as compared to $157.6 billion during the first three months of 2014. Our average assets under administration increased $48.7 billion, or 14 percent, to $384.7 billion in the first three months of 2015 as compared to $336.0 billion during the first three months of 2014.

•

Sales of new business in our Institutional Investors and Investment Managers business segments as well as positive cash receipts from new and existing advisor relationships in our Investment Advisors business segment contributed to the increase in our revenues and profits. Additionally, increased investment management fees from international clients in our Private Banks segment also contributed to our revenue growth.


•	Revenue growth was also driven by increased Information processing and software servicing fees in our Private Banks segment. The increase was primarily attributable to higher fees from the growth in assets processed on the SEI Wealth Platform and increased non-recurring professional services fees from a single project.


•	Our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $34.3 million in the first three months of 2015 as compared to $32.2 million in the first three months of 2014, an increase of seven percent. The increase in earnings was primarily driven by the increase in assets under management from LSV's existing clients due to market appreciation and an increase in performance fees earned by LSV.

•	The direct costs associated with our investment management programs increased in our Private Banks, Investment Advisors and Institutional Investors segments. These costs primarily relate to fees charged by investment advisory firms and are included in Sub-advisory, distribution and other asset management costs on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.


•	We capitalized $7.3 million in the first three months of 2015 for the SEI Wealth Platform as compared to $9.4 million in the first three months of 2014. Amortization expense related to the Platform increased to $10.3 million during the first three months of 2015 as compared to $9.1 million during the first three months of 2014 due to continued enhancements to the Platform.


•	As we continue through the development of the Platform, our expenses related to maintenance and enhancements have increased. A higher portion of these costs are not capitalized. These increased costs primarily impacted the Private Banks and Investment Advisors business segments.

•

We recorded pre-tax gains of $2.8 million, or $.01 diluted earnings per share, and $5.6 million, or $.02 diluted earnings per share, from the sale of SEI Asset Korea (SEI AK) in the first three months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The gains from the sale are included in Gain on sale of subsidiary on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations (See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information).


•	Our effective tax rate was 35.4 percent during the first quarter 2015 as compared to 35.9 percent during the first quarter 2014. The decrease in the tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 relates to the increase in the usage of the foreign tax credit.


•	We continued our stock repurchase program during 2015 and purchased 1.5 million shares at an average price of approximately $43.21 per share in the three month period.

Corporate overhead expenses were $13.4 million and $11.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in corporate overhead expenses was primarily due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations impacting the transactions and balances of non-U.S. dollar denominated accounts of our U.S.-based subsidiaries.

Other income and expense

Other income and expense items on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of:



	Three Months Ended March 31,

Gain on sale of subsidiary	2,791			5,582
Total other income and expense items, net	$	37,930		$	38,273

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates primarily includes our less than 50 percent ownership in LSV. At March 31, 2015, our interest in LSV was approximately 39.3 percent. Our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $34.3 million in first quarter 2015 as compared to $32.2 million in first quarter 2014, an increase of seven percent. The increase in earnings was primarily due to increased assets under management from LSV's existing clients due to improved capital markets and an increase in performance fees. LSV’s average assets under management increased $7.1 billion to $83.4 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $76.3 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of nine percent.

Gain on sale of subsidiary

We recorded gains of $2.8 million and $5.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from the the sale of our ownership interests in SEI AK. These gains are included in Gain on sale of subsidiary on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations (See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information).

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 35.4 percent and 35.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in our tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 relates to the increase in the usage of foreign tax credits. The Research and Development Tax Credit had expired for both three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. If the Research and Development Tax Credit is reinstated for 2015, the tax credit will lower our tax rate in the period of enactment.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our financial assets are determined using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs and consist mainly of investments in equity or fixed-income mutual funds that are quoted daily and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and other U.S. government agency securities that are single issuer pools that are valued based on current market data of similar assets. We did not have any financial liabilities at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014 (See Note 5 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Regulatory Matters

Like many firms operating within the financial services industry, we are experiencing a difficult regulatory environment across our markets. Our current scale and reach as a provider to the financial services industry, the introduction and implementation of new solutions for our financial services industry clients, the increased regulatory oversight of the financial services industry generally, new laws and regulations affecting the financial services industry and ever-changing regulatory interpretations of existing laws and regulations, and a greater propensity of regulators to pursue enforcement actions and other sanctions against regulated entities, have made this an increasingly challenging and costly regulatory environment in which to operate.

SEI and some of our regulated subsidiaries have undergone or been scheduled to undergo a range of periodic or thematic reviews, examinations or investigations by numerous regulatory authorities around the world, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom (FCA), the Central Bank of Ireland and others. These regulatory activities typically result in the identification of matters or practices to be addressed by us or our subsidiaries and, in certain circumstances, the regulatory authorities could require remediation activities or pursue enforcement proceedings against us or our subsidiaries. As described under the caption “Regulatory Considerations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the range of

26 of 34

possible sanctions that are available to regulatory authorities include limitations on our ability to engage in business for specified periods of time, the revocation of registration, censures and fines. The direct and indirect costs of responding to these regulatory activities and of complying with new or modified regulations, as well as the potential financial costs and potential reputational impact against us of any enforcement proceedings that might result, is uncertain but could have a material adverse impact on our operating results or financial position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	77,930		$	45,492
Net cash used in investing activities	(10,320		)	(14,603		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(85,235		)	(62,060		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(6,561		)	(1,550		)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	(24,186		)	(32,721		)
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period	667,446			578,273
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	643,260		$	545,552

Cash requirements and liquidity needs are primarily funded through our cash flow from operations and our capacity for additional borrowing. At March 31, 2015, our unused sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents and the amount available under our credit facility.

Our credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $300.0 million and is scheduled to expire in February 2017 (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The availability of the credit facility is subject to compliance with certain covenants set forth in the agreement. The credit facility contains covenants which restrict our ability to engage in mergers, consolidations, asset sales, investments, transactions with affiliates, or to incur liens, as defined in the agreement. In the event of a default under the credit facility, we would also be restricted from paying dividends on, or repurchasing, our common stock. Currently, our ability to borrow from the credit facility is not limited by any covenant of the agreement. We currently have no borrowings under our credit facility.

The majority of our excess cash reserves are primarily placed in accounts located in the United States that invest entirely in SEI-sponsored money market mutual funds denominated in the U.S. dollar. We also utilize demand deposit accounts or money market accounts at several well-established financial institutions located in the United States. Accounts used to manage these excess cash reserves do not impose any restrictions or limitations that would prevent us from being able to access such cash amounts immediately. As of April 17, 2015, the amount of cash and cash equivalents considered free and immediately accessible for other general corporate purposes was $428.1 million.

Our cash and cash equivalents include accounts managed by our subsidiaries and minority-owned subsidiaries that are used in their operations or to cover specific business and regulatory requirements. The availability of this cash for other purposes beyond the operations of these subsidiaries may be limited.

Cash and cash equivalents of our foreign subsidiaries are subject to changes in currency exchange rates. The majority of our exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency rates is through our subsidiaries located in Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Also, some of our foreign subsidiaries may have excess cash reserves which are considered to be undistributed earnings and indefinitely reinvested. Upon distribution of these earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be immediately subject to both U.S. and foreign withholding taxes which would reduce the amount we would ultimately realize. We do not include accounts of our foreign subsidiaries in our calculation of free and immediately accessible cash for other general corporate purposes.

Cash flows from operations increased $32.4 million in the first three months of 2015 compared to the first three months of 2014. Our cash flows from operations increased primarily due to the increase in our net income, the net change in our working capital accounts and an increase in the distribution payment received from LSV.

27 of 34

Cash flows from investing activities increased $4.3 million in the first three months of 2015 compared to the first three months of 2014. Net cash used in investing activities includes:

•Purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities. Our purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities in the first three months of 2015 and 2014 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Purchases	$	(4,107	)	$	(6,645	)
Sales and maturities	7,375			9,077
Net investing activities from marketable securities	3,268			2,432


•	The capitalization of costs incurred in developing computer software. We capitalized $8.0 million of software development costs in the first three months of 2015 as compared to $9.4 million in the first three months of 2014. Amounts capitalized primarily include costs for significant enhancements for the expanded functionality of the SEI Wealth Platform.

•

Capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures in the first three months of 2015 were $7.4 million as compared to $7.6 million in the first three months of 2014. Our expenditures in 2015 primarily include purchased software and equipment for our data center operations. We intend to relocate our London operations to a new facility during 2015. The total cost of the improvements to this facility is estimated to be at least $13.2 million, of which $1.7 million has been expended. The relocation is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2015. Our expenditures in 2014 also include approximately $1.7 million for the expansion of our corporate headquarters which was completed in the third quarter.

Cash flows from financing activities decreased $23.2 million in the first three months of 2015 compared to the first three months of 2014. Net cash used in financing activities includes:

•

The repurchase of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of our common stock through multiple authorizations. Currently, there is no expiration date for our common stock repurchase program. We purchased 1.5 million shares at a total cost of $67.5 million during the first three months of 2015 and 2.0 million shares at a total cost of $65.9 million during the first three months of 2014 for the repurchase of our common stock.


•	Proceeds from the issuance of our common stock. We received $19.2 million in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock during the first three months of 2015 as compared to $35.8 million during the first three months of 2014. The decrease in proceeds is primarily attributable to a lower level of stock option exercise activity.


•	Dividend payments. Cash dividends paid were $40.2 million in the first three months of 2015 as compared to $37.3 million in the first three months of 2014.

We believe our operating cash flow, available borrowing capacity, and existing cash and cash equivalents should provide adequate funds for ongoing operations; continued investment in new products and equipment; our common stock repurchase program and future dividend payments.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangement

On October 1, 2012, we provided an unsecured guaranty of the obligations of LSV Employee Group III to The PrivateBank and Trust Company and certain other lenders. We entered into this agreement in order to facilitate the acquisition of certain partnership interests of LSV by LSV Employee Group III. Additional information pertaining to the agreement is presented in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Certain information contained in this discussion is or may be considered forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that involve certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change. Although we believe our assumptions are reasonable, they could be inaccurate. Our actual future revenues and income could differ materially from our expected results. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Among the risks and uncertainties which may affect our future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments are those risks described in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K in Part I, Item 1A. These risks include the following:


•	changes in capital markets that may affect our revenues and earnings;

28 of 34


•	risk of failure by a third-party service provider;


•	product development risk;


•	poor investment performance of our mutual funds and other investment products;


•	the affect on our earnings and cashflows from the performance of LSV Asset Management;


•	the affect of extensive governmental regulation;


•	litigation and regulatory examinations and investigations;


•	consolidation within our target markets, including consolidations between banks and other financial institutions;

•systems and technology risks;


•	data and cyber security risks;


•	third party approval of our investment products with advisors affiliated with independent broker-dealers or other networks;


•	operational risks associated with the processing of investment transactions;


•	financial and non-financial covenants which may restrict our ability to manage liquidity needs;


•	changes in, or interpretation of, accounting principles or tax rules and regulations;


•	fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;


•	fluctuations in interest rates affecting the value of our fixed-income investment securities; and


•	retention of executive officers and senior management personnel.

Our principal, regulated wholly-owned subsidiaries are SEI Investments Distribution Co., or SIDCO, SEI Investments Management Corporation, or SIMC, SEI Private Trust Company, or SPTC, SEI Trust Company, or STC, and SEI Investments (Europe) Limited, or SIEL. SIDCO is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). SIMC is an investment advisor registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) under the Commodity Futures Exchange Act. SPTC is a limited purpose federal thrift chartered and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. STC is a Pennsylvania trust company, regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. SIEL is an investment manager and financial institution subject to regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom. In addition, various SEI subsidiaries are subject to the jurisdiction of regulatory authorities in Canada, the Republic of Ireland and other foreign countries. The Company has a minority ownership interest in LSV, which is also an investment advisor registered with the SEC.

The Company, its regulated subsidiaries, their regulated services and solutions and their customers are all subject to extensive legislation, regulation and supervision that recently has been subject to, and continues to experience, significant change and increased regulatory activity. These changes and regulatory activities could have a material adverse affect on us and our clients.

The various governmental agencies and self-regulatory authorities that regulate or supervise the Company and various of its subsidiaries have broad administrative powers. In the event of a failure to comply with laws, regulations and requirements of these agencies and authorities, the possible sanctions that may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on our ability to engage in business for specified periods of time, the revocation of applicable registration as a broker-dealer, investment advisor or other regulated entity, and, as the case may be, censures and fines. Additionally, certain securities and banking laws applicable to us and our subsidiaries provide for certain private rights of action that could give rise to civil litigation. Any litigation could have significant financial and non-financial consequences including monetary judgments and the requirement to take action or limit activities that could ultimately affect our business.

Governmental scrutiny from regulators, legislative bodies and law enforcement agencies with respect to matters relating to our regulated subsidiaries and their activities, services and solutions, our business practices, our past actions and other matters has increased dramatically in the past several years. Responding to these examinations, investigations, actions and lawsuits, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the proceeding, is time consuming and expensive and can divert the time and effort of our senior management from our business. Penalties and fines sought by regulatory authorities have increased substantially over the last several years, and certain regulators have been more likely in recent years to commence enforcement actions or to advance or support legislation targeted at the financial services industry. Governmental scrutiny and legal and enforcement proceedings can also have a negative impact on our reputation and on the morale and performance of our employees, which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.

We are subject to the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, which contains anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and requires implementation of regulations applicable to financial services companies, including standards for verifying client identification and monitoring client transactions and detecting and reporting suspicious activities. Anti-money laundering laws

29 of 34

outside the United States contain similar requirements. We offer investment and banking solutions that also are subject to regulation by the federal and state securities and banking authorities, as well as foreign regulatory authorities, where applicable. Existing or future regulations that affect these solutions could lead to a reduction in sales of these solutions or require modifications of these solutions.

Compliance with existing and future regulations and responding to and complying with recent increased regulatory activity affecting broker-dealers, investment advisors, investment companies, financial institutions and their service providers could have a significant impact on us. We periodically undergo regulatory examinations and respond to regulatory inquiries and document requests. In addition, recent legislative activity in the United States (including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and attendant rule making activities) and in other jurisdictions (including the European Union and the United Kingdom) have made and continue to make, extensive changes to the laws regulating financial services firms. As a result of these examinations, inquiries and requests, as a result of increased civil litigation activity, and as a result of these new laws and regulations, we engage legal counsel, review our compliance procedures, solution and service offerings, and business operations, and make changes as we deem necessary. These additional activities and required changes may result in increased expense or may reduce revenues.

Our bank clients are subject to supervision by federal and state banking authorities concerning the manner in which such clients purchase and receive our products and services. Our plan sponsor clients and our subsidiaries providing services to those clients are subject to supervision by the Department of Labor and compliance with employee benefit regulations. Investment advisor and broker-dealer clients are regulated by the SEC, state securities authorities, or FINRA. Existing or future regulations applicable to our clients may affect our clients’ purchase of our products and services.

In addition, see the discussion of governmental regulations in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the risks that proposed regulatory changes may present for our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Information required by this item is set forth under the captions "Our revenues and earnings are affected by changes in capital markets" and "Changes in interest rates may affect the value of our fixed-income investment securities" in Item 1A "Risk Factors" and under the caption "Sensitivity of our revenues and earnings to capital market fluctuations" in Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no material changes to this information as it is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The plaintiffs in two of the cases filed in East Baton Rouge have granted SEI and SPTC an indefinite extension to respond to the petitions.

In the two other cases filed in East Baton Rouge, brought by the same counsel who filed the class action, virtually all of the litigation to date has involved motions practice and appellate litigation regarding the existence of federal subjection matter jurisdiction under the federal Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act (SLUSA). After the matter was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, that court dismissed the action under SLUSA. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that order, and the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment on February 26, 2014. The matter was remanded to state court and no material activity has taken place since that date.

31 of 34

allows shareholders of a mutual fund to sue the investment adviser of the fund or its affiliates for an alleged breach of fiduciary duty with respect to compensation received by the adviser or its affiliates. The plaintiffs have brought the suit against SIMC and SGFS with respect to five specific SEI Funds: the High Yield Bond, Tax-Managed Large Cap, and Tax-Managed Small/Mid Cap Funds, each of which is a series of the SEI Institutional Managed Trust, the Intermediate Term Municipal Fund, which is a series of the SEI Tax Exempt Trust, and the International Equity Fund, which is a series of the SEI Institutional International Trust (the SEI Funds). The plaintiffs seek: (1) damages for the SEI Funds in the amount of the alleged “excessive” fees earned by SIMC and SGFS beginning from the one year period prior to the filing of the lawsuit, plus interest, costs, and fees; (2) orders declaring that SIMC and SGFS allegedly violated Section 36(b) and enjoining SIMC and SGFS from further alleged violations; and (3) rescission of SIMC’s and SGFS’s contracts with the funds, and restitution of all allegedly excessive fees paid beginning from the one year period prior to the filing of the lawsuit, plus interest, costs, and fees. On November 24, 2014, SIMC and SGFS filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The court has not yet ruled on that motion. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain given its early phase, SIMC and SGFS believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously, and SIMC and SGFS are not reasonably able to provide an estimate of the ultimate loss, if any, with respect to this lawsuit.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Information regarding risk factors appears in Part I – Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2014.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.


(e)	Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $2.578 billion worth of our common stock through multiple authorizations. Currently, there is no expiration date for our common stock repurchase program.

First-Quarter Business Highlights:


•	Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher Asset management, administration, and distribution fees from market appreciation and improved cash flows from new and existing clients.


•	Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $14.9 billion, or nine percent, to $172.5 billion in the first-quarter 2015, as compared to $157.6 billion during the first-quarter 2014 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).


•	Our average assets under administration increased $48.7 billion, or 14 percent, to $384.7 billion in the first-quarter 2015, as compared to $336.0 billion during the first-quarter 2014 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).


•	Revenue growth was also driven by increased Information processing and software servicing fees in our Private Banks segment. The increase was primarily attributable to higher fees from the growth in assets processed on the SEI Wealth Platform^SM and increased non-recurring professional services fees.


•	Sales events, net of client losses, during first-quarter 2015 totaled approximately $30.9 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $23.6 million when contract values are fully realized.


•	Income from LSV increased $2.1 million, or seven percent, to $34.3 million in first-quarter 2015 as compared to $32.2 million in first-quarter 2014 due to an increase in assets under management and an increase in performance fees earned by LSV.


•	We recorded pre-tax gains of $2.8 million, or $.01 diluted earnings per share, and $5.6 million, or $.02 diluted earnings per share, from the sale of SEI AK in first-quarter 2015 and 2014, respectively.


•	Amortization expense related to capitalized software was $10.3 million during the first-quarter 2015 as compared to $9.2 million during the first-quarter 2014 due to continued enhancements to the SEI Wealth Platform.


•	Our effective tax rates were 35.4 percent in first-quarter 2015 and 35.9 percent in first-quarter 2014.


•	In first-quarter 2015, we repurchased 1.5 million shares of our common stock for $65.3 million.
