Second-Quarter Business Highlights:
•Revenues from Information processing and software servicing fees in the second-quarter 2023 include a one-time early contractual buyout fee of $10.5 million relating to an investment processing client of the Private Banks segment that was acquired by an existing client. The Company will continue its relationship and provide investment processing services to both entities.
•Revenues from Assets under management, administration, and distribution fees decreased primarily from lower assets under management in equity and fixed income programs from market depreciation during 2022 and negative cash flows from SEI fund programs due to client losses in the Investment Advisors and Institutional Investors segments. The improvement in market conditions and positive cash flows into separately managed account programs and Strategist programs during 2023 partially offset the decline in revenues.
•Average assets under management in equity and fixed income programs, excluding LSV, decreased $8.1 billion, or 5%, to $169.0 billion in the second-quarter 2023, as compared to $177.1 billion during the second-quarter 2022 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedule for further details).
•Revenue from Asset management, administration, and distribution fees of the Investment Managers segment increased from new business and increases from existing alternative investment clients due to new products and additional services. The decrease in average assets under administration reflect a loss of a significant client in 2022 which was not charged asset-based fees.
•Net sales events in the Private Banks and Investment Managers segments during second-quarter 2023 were $31.1 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $25.4 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 2023 were negative $1.9 million.
•Operational expenses increased due to higher personnel costs from business growth, competitive labor markets, and the impact of inflation on wages and services. Operational expenses also increased due to personnel costs and investments in compliance infrastructure to meet new regulatory requirements. The increase was substantially offset by lower direct costs related to asset management revenues and lower amortization expense.
•Expenses in the Institutional Investors segment include the impact of a one-time operational charge of $4.5 million related to a client reimbursement.
•Corporate overhead expenses include a $2.5 million item related to a consulting engagement which ended during the second-quarter 2023.
•Earnings from LSV increased to $32.7 million in the second-quarter 2023 as compared to $29.8 million in the second-quarter 2022 due to increased performance fees and market appreciation. Net negative cash flows from existing clients, and client losses partially offset the increase in earnings from LSV.
•We capitalized $9.0 million of software development costs in second-quarter 2023, of which $4.7 million was for continued enhancements to the SEI Wealth PlatformSM. We also capitalized $4.3 million of software development costs in second-quarter 2023 for a new platform for the Investment Managers segment.
•Amortization expense related to SWP was $6.4 million in second-quarter 2023 as compared to $11.8 million in second-quarter 2022. The decline in amortization expense was due to the amortization period of the initial development costs related to SWP which ended in second-quarter 2022.
•Effective tax rates were 23.4% in second-quarter 2023 and 23.1% in second-quarter 2022.
3


•We repurchased 1.3 million shares of our common stock for $75.5 million during the second-quarter 2023 at an average price of $58.56 per share.
•Cash flow from operations was $68.2 million and free cash flow was $53.4 million during the second-quarter 2023.
