• | 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. |
• | In the fourth-quarter 2016, we recognized a $12.3 million performance fee and a corresponding $6.1 million sub-advisory expense associated with an SEI-sponsored investment product. These items resulted in a positive net impact of approximately $0.03 diluted earnings per share and were reflected in the Institutional Investors segment. |
• | Sales events, net of client losses, during fourth-quarter 2016 totaled approximately $10.6 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $5.5 million when contract values are fully realized. For the year ended 2016, sales events, net of client losses, totaled approximately $93.1 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $74.0 million when contract values are fully realized. |
• | Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $11.4 billion, or six percent, to $194.8 billion, as compared to $183.4 billion during the fourth-quarter 2015 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details). |
• | Our average assets under administration increased $57.8 billion, or 14 percent, to $465.7 billion in the fourth-quarter 2016, as compared to $407.9 billion during the fourth-quarter 2015 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details). |
• | Our earnings from LSV increased by $2.0 million, or six percent, to $34.1 million in fourth-quarter 2016 as compared to $32.1 million in fourth-quarter 2015. The increase in earnings was due to an increase in assets under management from market appreciation; however, our earnings were negatively impacted by lower performance fees and increased personnel expenses of LSV. |
• | We capitalized $17.2 million and $6.9 million of software development costs in fourth-quarter 2016 and 2015, respectively, of which $12.4 million and $5.2 million are related to continued enhancements to the SEI Wealth Platform. Our expenses related to maintenance and enhancements not eligible for capitalization have increased. A higher portion of these costs are recognized in personnel and consulting costs. These increased costs primarily impacted the Private Banks and Investment Advisors business segments. |
• | Amortization expense related to the SEI Wealth Platform increased to $11.7 million during the fourth-quarter 2016 as compared to $10.8 million during the fourth-quarter 2015 due to continued enhancements. |
• | Our operating expenses increased $13.2 million, or five percent, during the fourth-quarter 2016 compared to the third-quarter 2016 due in part to the previously mentioned sub-advisory expense. Without this item, the sequential increase in our operating expenses during the fourth-quarter would have been $7.1 million, or just under three percent. |
• | 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 fourth-quarter 2016 compared to the fourth-quarter 2015 negatively impacted the revenues of our Private Banks and Institutional Investors segments by $2.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and operating income by $1.2 million for each of the two segments. |
• | Our effective tax rates were 33.4 percent in fourth-quarter 2016 and 29.3 percent in fourth-quarter 2015. The increase in the tax rate is due to a one time state tax settlement we received in the fourth quarter of 2015 as well as the reinstatement of the Research and Development credit in the fourth quarter of 2015. In 2015, all of the Research and Development Tax credit was recorded in the fourth quarter as compared to each quarter in 2016. |
• | We repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock for $66.8 million during the fourth-quarter 2016. |
