Third-Quarter Business Highlights:
Revenues from Assets under management, administration, and distribution fees increased primarily from higher assets under management and administration due to increases from existing alternative investment clients of the Investment Managers segment due to new products and additional services. Market appreciation and positive cash flows into separately managed account programs and Strategist programs during 2023 also contributed to the increase in revenues.
The increase in revenues from Assets under management, administration, and distribution fees was partially offset by negative cash flows from SEI fund programs due to client losses in the Investment Advisors and Institutional Investors segments.
Average assets under management in equity and fixed income programs, excluding LSV, increased $3.9 billion, or 2%, to $170.3 billion during the third-quarter 2023, as compared to $166.4 billion during the third-quarter 2022 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedule for further details).
Average assets under administration increased $107.1 billion, or 14%, to $893.7 billion during the third-quarter 2023, as compared to $786.6 billion during the third-quarter 2022 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).
Net sales events in the Private Banks and Investment Managers segments during third-quarter 2023 were $22.3 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $19.0 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 third-quarter 2023 were negative $7.6 million.
Operational expenses declined primarily from the total cost of the voluntary separation program of $57.0 million recognized during third-quarter 2022. This one-time cost is included in corporate overhead expenses and reflects a diluted earnings per share impact of $0.32 to third-quarter 2022 results.
The decline in operational expenses was also due to decreased non-capitalized consulting costs. This decline was partially offset by higher personnel costs from business growth, competitive labor markets, and the impact of inflation on wages and services. Increased personnel costs and investments in compliance infrastructure to meet new regulatory requirements also partially offset the decline in operational expenses.
Earnings from LSV increased to $29.9 million in the third-quarter 2023 as compared to $26.7 million in the third-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.
Capitalized software development costs were $8.5 million in third-quarter 2023, of which $4.3 million was for continued enhancements to the SEI Wealth PlatformSM. Amortization expense related to SWP was $6.5 million in third-quarter 2023. Capitalized software development costs also include $4.2 million in third-quarter 2023 for a new platform for the Investment Managers segment.
Effective tax rates were 22.5% in third-quarter 2023 and 23.0% in third-quarter 2022.
Repurchased shares of SEI common stock were 1.4 million for $86.0 million during the third-quarter 2023 at an average price of $61.43 per share.
Cash flow from operations was $163.5 million and free cash flow was $148.3 million during the third-quarter 2023.
