Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

SEI Investments Company (the Company), a Pennsylvania corporation, provides comprehensive platforms, services and infrastructure–encompassing technology, operational, and investment management services–to help wealth managers, financial advisors, investment managers, family offices, institutional and private investors create and manage wealth.

Investment processing platforms provide technologies and business process outsourcing services for wealth managers. These solutions include investment advisory, client relationship, and other technology-enabled capabilities for the front office; administrative and investment services for the middle office; and accounting and processing services for the back office. Revenues from investment processing platforms are recognized in Information processing and software servicing fees on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investment operations platforms provide business process outsourcing services for investment managers and asset owners. These platforms support a broad range of traditional and alternative investments and provide technology-enabled information analytics and investor capabilities for the front office; administrative and investment services for the middle office; and fund administration and accounting services for the back office. Revenues from investment operations platforms are recognized in Asset management, administration and distribution fees on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investment management platforms provide comprehensive solutions for managing personal and institutional wealth. These platforms include goals-based investment strategies; SEI-sponsored investment products, including mutual funds, collective investment products, alternative investment portfolios and separately managed accounts (SMA); and other market-specific advice, technology and operational components. These platforms are offered to wealth managers as part of a complete goals-based investment program for their end-investors. For institutional investors, the Company provides Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) solutions and Enhanced Chief Investment Officer (ECIO) solutions that include investment management programs, as well as advisory and administrative services. Revenues from investment management platforms are recognized in Asset management, administration and distribution fees on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain financial information and accompanying note disclosure normally included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

There have been no significant changes in significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Variable Interest Entities

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. The Company receives asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees for these services. 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. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the entities and, therefore, is not required to consolidate any of the pooled investment vehicles for which it receives asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees under the VIE model.

The Company is a party to expense limitation agreements with certain SEI-sponsored money market funds subject to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 which establish a maximum level of ordinary operating expenses incurred by

the fund in any fiscal year including, but not limited to, fees of the administrator or its affiliates. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company waived $4,299 and $5,561 in fees during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the transfer of control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those promised goods or services. Certain portions of the Company’s revenues involve a third party in providing goods or services to its customers. In such circumstances, the Company must determine whether the nature of its promise to the customer is to provide the underlying goods or services (the Company is the principal in the transaction and reports the transaction gross) or to arrange for a third party to provide the underlying goods or services (the entity is the agent in the transaction and reports the transaction net). See Note 13 for related disclosures regarding revenue recognition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes $436,130 and $397,838 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, invested in SEI-sponsored open-ended money market mutual funds. See Note 5 for information related to the Company's total investments in SEI-sponsored and non-SEI-sponsored money market mutual funds and commercial paper classified as cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes $250 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 segregated for regulatory purposes related to trade-execution services conducted by SEI Investments (Europe) Limited. Restricted cash also includes $51 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 segregated in special reserve accounts for the benefit of customers of the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary, SEI Investments Distribution Co. (SIDCO), in accordance with certain rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for broker-dealers.

Capitalized Software

The Company capitalized $6,277 and $9,041 of software development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to further develop the SEI Wealth PlatformSM (SWP) and for the development of a new platform for the Investment Managers segment. The Company capitalized $3,795 and $4,734 of software development costs for significant enhancements to SWP during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the net book value of SWP was $215,474. The net book value includes $3,795 of capitalized software development costs in-progress associated with future releases of SWP. Capitalized software development costs in-progress associated with future releases of SWP were $5,916 as of December 31, 2023. SWP has a weighted average remaining life of 8.8 years. Amortization expense for SWP was $6,757 and $6,158 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company also capitalized $2,482 and $4,307 of software development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the development of a new platform for the Investment Managers segment. Capitalized software development costs in-progress associated with this platform were $22,650 and $20,083 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The platform is not yet ready for use.

Earnings per Share

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Net income	$	131,400	$	107,015
Shares used to compute basic earnings per common share	131,417,000		134,020,000
Dilutive effect of stock options	1,328,000		1,291,000
Shares used to compute diluted earnings per common share	132,745,000		135,311,000
Basic earnings per common share	$	1.00	$	0.80
Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.99	$	0.79

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, employee stock options to purchase 10,912,000 and 11,273,000 shares of common stock with an average exercise price of $61.05 and $61.28, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share. These options for the three month periods

were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because either the performance conditions have not been satisfied or would not have been satisfied if the reporting date was the end of the contingency period or the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock and the effect on diluted earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09) to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reclassifications

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

Statements of Cash Flows

For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers investment instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The following table provides the details of the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31:

Note 2. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

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 investment products. The Company's partnership interest in LSV as of March 31, 2024 was 38.6%. The Company accounts for its interest in LSV using the equity method because of its less than 50% ownership. The Company’s interest in the net assets of LSV is reflected in Investment in unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and its interest in the earnings of LSV is reflected in Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At March 31, 2024, the Company’s total investment in LSV was $57,291. The Company receives partnership distributions from LSV on a quarterly basis. The Company received partnership distributions from LSV of $33,147 and $29,219 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As such, the Company considers these distribution payments as returns on investment rather than returns of the Company's original investment in LSV and has therefore classified the associated cash inflows as an operating activity on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company’s proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $31,643 and $28,879 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, except for the Company's investment funds sponsored by LSV, 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 GNMA mortgage-backed securities held by the Company's wholly-owned limited purpose federal thrift subsidiary, SEI Private Trust Company (SPTC), and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other U.S. government agency short-term notes held by SIDCO. 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 2027 to 2041.

The fair value of the Company's investment funds sponsored by LSV is measured using the net asset value per share (NAV) as a practical expedient. 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 funds allow for investor redemptions at the end of each calendar month. This investment has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy but is presented in the tables below to permit reconciliation to the amounts presented on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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.

The pricing policies and procedures applied for our Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were consistent with those as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2023. The Company had no Level 3 financial assets at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023 that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company's Level 3 financial liabilities at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consist entirely of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration resulting from an acquisition (See Note 12). There were no transfers of financial assets between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The fair value of certain financial assets of the Company was determined using the following inputs:


			Fair Value Measurements at the End of the Reporting Period Using
Assets	March 31, 2024		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Equity securities	$	37,842	$	37,842	$	—

(1) The fair value amounts presented in the tables above are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets (See Note 5).

Note 5. Marketable Securities

Marketable securities include investments in money market funds and commercial paper classified as cash equivalents, available-for-sale debt securities, investments in SEI-sponsored and non-SEI-sponsored mutual funds, equities, investments in funds sponsored by LSV and securities owned by SIDCO.

Cash Equivalents

Investments in SEI-sponsored and non-SEI-sponsored money market funds and commercial paper classified as cash equivalents had a fair value of $598,118 and $565,588 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There were no material unrealized or realized gains or losses from these investments during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Investments in money market funds and commercial paper are Level 1 assets.

Available for Sale and Equity Securities

Available For Sale and Equity Securities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of:


	At March 31, 2024
	Cost Amount		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized (Losses)		Fair Value
Available-for-sale debt securities	$	136,848	$	—	$	(10,663)	$	126,185
SEI-sponsored mutual funds	30,956		1,271		(5)		32,222
Equities and other mutual funds	5,335		285		—		5,620
	$	173,139	$	1,556	$	(10,668)	$	164,027


	At December 31, 2023
	Cost Amount		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized (Losses)		Fair Value
Available-for-sale debt securities	$	127,681	$	—	$	(8,929)	$	118,752
SEI-sponsored mutual funds	30,427		818		(19)		31,226
Equities and other mutual funds	5,301		134		—		5,435
	$	163,409	$	952	$	(8,948)	$	155,413

Net unrealized losses at March 31, 2024 of available-for-sale debt securities were $8,211 (net of income tax benefit of $2,452). Net unrealized losses at December 31, 2023 of available-for-sale debt securities were $6,875 (net of income tax benefit of $2,054). These unrealized losses are associated with the Company’s investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA and were caused by interest rate increases (See Note 4). The contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the Company's investments. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. These net unrealized losses are reported as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following tables provide the scheduled maturities of the Company's available-for-sale debt securities:

Securities Owned

The Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary, SIDCO, has investments in U.S. government agency securities with maturity dates less than one year. These investments are reflected as Securities owned on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to specialized accounting practices applicable to investments by broker-dealers, the securities are reported at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings. The securities had a fair value of $31,958 and $31,334 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There were no material net gains or losses related to the securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Note 6. Line of Credit

The Company has a five-year $325,000 Credit Agreement (the Credit Facility) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and a syndicate of other lenders. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire in April 2026, 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 rates that, at the Company's option, are based on a base rate (the Base Rate) plus a premium that can range from 0.25% to 1.00% or the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a premium that can range from 1.25% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio (a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the four preceding fiscal quarters, all as defined in the related agreement). The Base Rate is defined as the highest of a) the Prime Rate, b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.00%.

The Company also pays quarterly commitment fees based on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The quarterly fees for the Credit Facility can range from 0.15% of the amount of the unused portion to 0.30%, depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio. Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company have guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the agreement. The aggregate amount of the Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $100,000 under certain conditions set forth in the agreement. The Company may issue up to $15,000 in letters of credit under the terms of the Credit Facility. The Company pays a periodic commission fee of 1.25% plus an issuance fee of 0.20% of the aggregate face amount of the outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains covenants with restrictions on the ability of the Company to do transactions with affiliates other than wholly-owned subsidiaries or to incur liens or certain types of indebtedness 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. 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 was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of April 11, 2024, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $4,866 under the Credit Facility. The amount of the Credit Facility that is available for general corporate purposes as of April 11, 2024 was $320,134.

Note 7. Shareholders’ Equity

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) outstanding under its equity compensation plans. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in its Consolidated Financial Statements in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Stock-based compensation expense	$	11,059	$	8,074
Less: Deferred tax benefit	(2,213)		(1,492)
Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	8,846	$	6,582

The vesting of the Company's RSUs are time-based and are not based on the achievement of performance targets. The majority of the Company's RSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the issuance date. 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% when a specified financial vesting target is achieved, and the remaining 50% when a second, higher specified financial vesting target is achieved. Options vest as a result of achievement of the financial vesting targets. Options granted in December 2017 and thereafter include a service condition which requires a minimum two or four year waiting period from the grant date along with the attainment of the applicable financial vesting target. The targets are measured annually on December 31. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the period is based upon management’s estimate of when the financial vesting targets may be achieved. Any change in management’s estimate could result in the remaining amount of stock-based compensation expense to be accelerated, spread out over a longer period, or reversed. This may cause volatility in the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in future periods and could materially affect the Company’s earnings.

The Company revised its estimate of when some vesting targets are expected to be achieved. This change in management's estimate resulted in an increase of $310 in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, there was approximately $115,038 of unrecognized compensation cost remaining related to unvested employee stock options and restricted stock units 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, 2024 was $18,831. The total options exercisable as of March 31, 2024 had an intrinsic value of $91,066. 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, 2024 and the weighted average exercise price of the options. The market value of the Company’s common stock as of March 31, 2024 was $71.90 as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC. The weighted average exercise price of the options exercisable as of March 31, 2024 was $55.78. Total options that were outstanding as of March 31, 2024 were 15,968,000. Total options that were exercisable as of March 31, 2024 were 5,649,000.

Common Stock Buyback

The Company’s Board of Directors, under multiple authorizations, has authorized the repurchase of common stock on the open market or through private transactions. The Company purchased 808,000 shares at a total cost of $56,001 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which reduced the total shares outstanding of common stock. The cost of stock purchases during the period includes the cost of excise taxes applicable to stock repurchases and certain transactions that settled in the following quarter. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $226,077 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.

The information in the following tables is derived from internal financial reporting used for corporate management purposes. There are no inter-segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Assets are not allocated to segments for internal reporting purposes. The accounting policies of the reportable business segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and made effective January 1, 2024, the Company made a determination to reorganize some of its business segments based on how its current Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) manages its businesses, including with respect to resource allocation and performance assessment. As a result, one of the Company's client relationships formerly reported in the Private Banks segment will be reported in the Investment Managers segment and the Company’s family office services business, formerly reported in the Investment Managers segment, will be reported in the Investments in New Businesses segment. The business segment financial presentation was reclassified in 2024 to conform to this reorganization. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

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 2020 and is no longer subject to state, local or foreign income tax examinations by authorities for years before 2018.

The Company estimates it will recognize $3,658 of gross unrecognized tax benefits. This amount is expected to be paid within one year or to be removed at the expiration of the statute of limitations and resolution of income tax audits and is netted against the current payable account. 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 the 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.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as Pillar Two). Certain aspects of Pillar Two are effective January 1, 2024 and other aspects are effective January 1, 2025. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar Two, certain countries in which we operate have adopted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar Two. We do not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on our effective tax rate or our consolidated results of operation, financial position, or cash flows.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company from time to time enters into contracts containing indemnification obligations of the Company. These obligations may require the Company to make payments to another party upon the occurrence of certain events including the failure by the Company to meet its performance obligations under the contract.

These contractual indemnification provisions are often standard contractual terms of the nature customarily found in the type of contracts entered into by the Company. In many cases, there are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification provisions. There are no amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 related to these indemnifications.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to various disputes, actions and claims that the Company does not believe are material. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or the manner in which the Company conducts its business. Currently, the Company does not believe the amount of losses, if any, associated with these matters can be estimated. While the Company does not believe that the amount of such losses will, when liquidated or estimable, be material to its financial position, the assumptions upon which these beliefs are based may be incorrect and, if so, any such loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or the manner in which the Company conducts its business in the period(s) during which the underlying matters are resolved.

Note 12. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of the Company's goodwill by segment are as follows:


	Institutional Investors		Investment Managers		Investments in New Businesses		Total

Balance, December 31, 2023	$	61,884	$	56,990	$	18,459	$	137,333

Balance, March 31, 2024	$	61,756	$	55,278	$	20,170	$	137,204

The reclassification of the Company's goodwill by segment during the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflects the relative fair value allocation of the goodwill related to the businesses that were reclassified into the new segment (See Note 9).

In November 2023, the Company's wholly-owned operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom, SIEL, acquired all of the outstanding equity of XPS Pensions (Nexus) Limited, principal employer and scheme funder of the National Pensions Trust (NPT), from its parent company, XPS Pensions Group PLC (XPS). The total purchase price for XPS Pensions (Nexus) Limited included a contingent consideration payable to the sellers subject to the achievement of certain post-closing performance measurements determined during intervals occurring within two years immediately following the closing date. As of March 31, 2024, the current portion of the contingent consideration of $915 is included in Accrued liabilities on the accompanying Balance Sheet. The long-term portion of the contingent consideration of $2,618 is included in Other long-term liabilities on the accompanying Balance Sheet.

The Company recognized $3,403 and $3,055 of amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 13. Revenues from Contracts with Customers

The Company’s principal sources of revenues are: (1) asset management, administration and distribution fees primarily earned based upon a contractual percentage of net assets under management or administration; and (2) information processing and software servicing fees that are either recurring and primarily earned based upon the number of trust accounts being serviced or a percentage of the market value of the clients' assets processed on the Company's platforms, or non-recurring and based upon project-oriented contractual agreements related to client implementations.

* Variances noted "NM" indicate the percent change is not meaningful.

The following items had a significant impact on our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

•Revenue from Assets under management, administration, and distribution fees increased in the first three months of 2024 primarily from higher assets under administration due to sales to new and existing alternative investment clients of the Investment Managers segment. Average assets under administration increased $121.0 billion, or 14%, to $961.7 billion during the first quarter 2024, as compared to $840.7 billion during the first quarter 2023.

•Revenue from Asset management, administration and distribution fees also increased during the first quarter from market appreciation and positive cash flows into separately managed account programs and Strategist programs of the Investment Advisors segment. Negative cash flows from SEI fund programs in the Investment Advisors segment and client losses in the Institutional Investors segment partially offset the increase in revenues. Average assets under management in equity and fixed income programs, excluding LSV, increased $8.1 billion, or 5%, to $175.9 billion in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $167.8 billion during the first quarter of 2023.

•Fees from the SEI Integrated Cash Program of the Investment Advisors segment launched in December 2023 were $9.6 million during the first quarter of 2024.

•Revenue from Information processing and software servicing fees increased in the first quarter of 2024 primarily from higher assets from new and existing clients processed on the SEI Wealth PlatformSM (SWP).

•Earnings from LSV increased to $31.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $28.9 million in the first quarter of 2023 due to higher performance fees and market appreciation. Negative cash flows from existing clients and client losses partially offset the increase in earnings from LSV.

•Operating expenses increased from higher personnel costs due to business growth, primarily in the Investment Managers segment, severance costs of $6.2 million, and the impact of inflation on wages and services. Cost

containment measures related to consulting and other outsourced vendor costs partially offset the increase in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2024.

•Capitalized software development costs were $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, of which $3.8 million was for continued enhancements to SWP. Capitalized software development costs also include $2.5 million of software development costs in the first quarter of 2024 for a new platform for the Investment Managers segment.

•Amortization expense related to SWP was $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2023.

•Effective tax rates were 22.9% in the first quarter of 2024 and 23.6% in the first quarter of 2023.

•SEI repurchased 808 thousand shares of its common stock for $56.0 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Revenues increased $1.4 million, or 11% in the three month period ended March 31, 2024 and were primarily affected by:

•Increased revenues from hosted technology offerings through SEI Family Office Services due to higher assets under administration and increased non-recurring implementation fees.

Other

Corporate overhead expenses

Corporate overhead expenses primarily consist of general and administrative expenses and other costs not directly attributable to a reportable business segment. Corporate overhead expenses were $37.8 million and $31.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in corporate overhead expenses is primarily due to severance costs of $6.2 million and investments in upgrading and enhancing various technologies utilized by corporate overhead units. Additionally, personnel costs increased from enhancements to further build our compliance infrastructure.

Other income and expense

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Net gain from investments	$	2,256	$	744
Interest and dividend income	10,819		8,778
Interest expense	(139)		(141)
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate	31,643		28,879
Total other income and expense items, net	$	44,579	$	38,260

Net gain from investments

Net gain from investments in the three months ended March 31, 2024 were primarily due to unrealized mark-to-market gains recorded in current earnings associated with LSV-sponsored investment funds and Company-sponsored investment funds from market appreciation (See Note 5).

Interest and dividend income

Interest and dividend income is earned based upon the amount of cash that is invested daily. The increase in interest and dividend income in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to an overall increase in interest rates.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate reflects our ownership interest in LSV. As of March 31, 2024, our total partnership interest in LSV was 38.6%. The table below presents the revenues and net income of LSV and the proportionate share in LSV's earnings.


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Percent Change
	2024		2023
Revenues of LSV	$	107,349	$	98,192	9%
Net income of LSV	82,012		74,774		10%

SEI's proportionate share in earnings of LSV	$	31,643	$	28,879	10%

The increase in earnings from LSV in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to higher performance fees and market appreciation. Negative cash flows from existing clients and client losses partially offset the increase in earnings from LSV. Average assets under management by LSV increased $3.7 billion to $90.7 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $87.0 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 4%.

Amortization

Amortization expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of:


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Percent Change
	2024		2023
Capitalized software development costs	$	6,904	$	6,305	10%
Intangible assets acquired through acquisitions and asset purchases	3,403		3,055		11%
Other	79		64		23%
Total amortization expense	$	10,386	$	9,424	10%

Capitalized software development costs

The increase in amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due significant enhancements to SWP (See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 differ from the federal income tax statutory rate due to the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Statutory rate	21.0	%	21.0	%
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit	2.9		2.9
Foreign tax expense and tax rate differential	0.1		(0.1)
Tax benefit from stock option exercises	(1.1)		(0.2)



	22.9	%	23.6	%

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognized $11.1 million and $8.1 million in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in expense was primarily due to new equity awards granted during

the fourth quarter 2023. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized is primarily based upon management's estimate of when the financial vesting targets of outstanding stock options may be achieved. Any change in the estimate could result in the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be accelerated, spread out over a longer period, or reversed. This may cause volatility in the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in future periods and could materially affect earnings (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

We expect to recognize approximately $42.5 million in stock-based compensation expense during the remainder of 2024.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities, except for the investment funds sponsored by LSV, is determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the investment funds sponsored by LSV is measured using the net asset value per share (NAV) as a practical expedient. The fair value of all other 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. Level 3 financial liabilities at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consist entirely of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration resulting from an acquisition (See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Regulatory Matters

Like many firms operating within the financial services industry, we are experiencing a complex and changing 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 require remediation activities or pursue enforcement proceedings against us or our subsidiaries. From time to time, the regulators in different jurisdictions will elevate their level of scrutiny of our operations as our business expands or is deemed critical to the operations of the relevant financial markets. As described under the caption “Regulatory Considerations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the range of 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,
	2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	112,294	$	114,364
Net cash used in investing activities	(37,634)		(16,988)
Net cash used in financing activities	(62,157)		(118,589)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	(572)		2,561
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	11,931		(18,652)
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period	834,998		853,359
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period	$	846,929	$	834,707

Our credit facility provides for borrowings up to $325.0 million and is scheduled to expire in April 2026 (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). As of April 11, 2024, we had outstanding letters of credit of $4.9 million which reduced the amount available under the credit facility. These letters of credit were primarily issued for the expansion of the corporate headquarters and are due to expire in late 2024. As of April 11, 2024, the amount of the credit facility available for corporate purposes was $320.1 million.

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 transactions with affiliates other than wholly-owned subsidiaries or to incur liens or certain types of indebtedness 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 (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

The majority of 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 large, well-established financial institutions located in the United States. The institutions we utilize have not indicated any stability issues regarding the ability to honor current or future deposit obligations to their customers. 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 11, 2024, the amount of cash and cash equivalents considered free and immediately accessible for other general corporate purposes was $497.5 million.

Cash and cash equivalents include accounts managed by 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. We therefore do not include accounts of foreign subsidiaries in the calculation of free and immediately accessible cash for other general corporate purposes. A portion of the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are deemed repatriated. Any subsequent transfer of available cash related to the repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries could significantly increase free and immediately accessible cash.

Cash flows from operations decreased $2.1 million in the first three months of 2024 compared to the first three months of 2023 primarily from the negative impact from the change in working capital accounts. The increase in net income partially offset the decline in cash flows from operations.

Net cash used in investing activities includes:

•Purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities. Purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities in the first three months of 2024 and 2023 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Purchases	$	(41,650)	$	(21,777)
Sales and maturities	32,116		28,387
Net investing activities from marketable securities	$	(9,534)	$	6,610

See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to marketable securities.

•The capitalization of costs incurred in developing computer software. We capitalized $6.3 million of software development costs in the first three months of 2024 as compared to $9.0 million in the first three months of 2023. Software development costs are principally related to significant enhancements for the expanded functionality of the SEI Wealth Platform and a new platform for the Investment Managers segment.

•Capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in the first three months of 2024 were $13.1 million as compared to $10.6 million in the first three months of 2023. Expenditures in 2024 and 2023 include capital outlays for purchased software and equipment for data center operations. We continue to evaluate improvements to our information technology infrastructure which, if implemented, will result in additional expenditures for purchased software and equipment for data center operations.

•Other investing activities. In February 2024, we made a strategic investment of $10.0 million in an innovation platform for wealth management.

Net cash used in financing activities includes:

•The repurchase of common stock. Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of common stock through multiple authorizations. Currently, there is no expiration date for the common stock repurchase program. We had total capital outlays of $46.8 million during the first three months of 2024 and $81.2 million during the first three months of 2023 for the repurchase of common stock.

•Proceeds from the issuance of common stock. We received $45.0 million and $21.4 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock during the first three months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. These proceeds were primarily from stock option exercise activity.

•Dividend payments. Cash dividends paid were $60.4 million in the first three months of 2024 as compared to $57.8 million in the first three months of 2023.

Cash Requirements

Cash requirements and liquidity needs are primarily funded through cash flow from operations and our capacity for additional borrowing. At March 31, 2024, unused sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents and the amount available under our credit facility.

We are obligated to make payments in connection with the credit facility, operating leases, maintenance contracts and other commitments. We believe our operating cash flow, available borrowing capacity, and existing cash and cash equivalents will provide adequate funds for these obligations and ongoing operations. We currently anticipate that our available funds and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our operational cash needs and fund our stock repurchase program for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.

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.

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:

We conduct operations through many regulated wholly-owned subsidiaries. These subsidiaries include:

•SEI Investments Distribution Co., or SIDCO, a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA;

•SEI Investments Management Corporation, or SIMC, an investment advisor registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, under the Commodity Exchange Act;

•SEI Private Trust Company, or SPTC, a limited purpose federal thrift chartered and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency;

•SEI Trust Company, or STC, a Pennsylvania trust company, regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities;

•SEI Institutional Transfer Agent, Inc., or SITA, a transfer agent registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

•SEI Investments (Europe) Limited, or SIEL, an investment manager and financial institution subject to regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom;

•SEI Investments Canada Company, or SEI Canada, an investment fund manager that has various other capacities that is regulated by the Ontario Securities Commission and various provincial authorities;

•SEI Investments Global, Limited, or SIGL, a management company for Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities, or UCITS, and for Alternative Investment Funds, or AIFs, that is regulated primarily by the Central Bank of Ireland, or CBI;

•SEI Investments - Global Fund Services, Ltd., or GFSL, an authorized provider of administration services for Irish and non-Irish collective investment schemes that is regulated by the CBI;

•SEI Investments - Depositary and Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited, or D&C, an authorized provider of depositary and custodial services that is regulated by the CBI;

•SEI Investments - Luxembourg S.A., or SEI Lux, a professional of the specialized financial sector subject to regulation by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg;

•SEI Investments Global (Cayman), Ltd., a full mutual fund administrator that is regulated by the Cayman Island Monetary Authority; and

•SEI Investments (South Africa) (PTY) Limited, a Private Company that is a licensed Financial Service Provider regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority.

In addition to the regulatory authorities listed above, our subsidiaries are subject to the jurisdiction of regulatory authorities in other foreign countries. In addition to our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we also own a minority interest of approximately 38.6% 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 effect on us and our clients.

The various governmental agencies and self-regulatory authorities that regulate or supervise the Company and 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 business process changes required or 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, fines and changes to business processes 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. We continue to be subject to inquiries from examinations and investigations by supervisory and enforcement divisions of regulatory authorities and expect this to continue in the future. We believe this is also the case with many of our regulated clients. Governmental scrutiny and legal and enforcement proceedings can also have a negative impact on our reputation, our relationship with clients and prospective clients, and on the morale and performance of our employees, which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.

We are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws that require implementation of regulations applicable to financial services companies, including standards for verifying client identification and monitoring client transactions and detecting and reporting suspicious activities. 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.

We must comply with economic sanctions and embargo programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and similar national and multinational bodies and governmental agencies outside the United States, as well as anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws and regulations throughout the world. We can incur higher costs and face greater compliance risks in structuring and operating our businesses to comply with these requirements. Furthermore, a violation of a sanction or embargo program or anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws and regulations could subject us and our subsidiaries, and individual employees, to regulatory enforcement actions as well as significant civil and criminal penalties.

Our businesses are also subject to privacy and data protection information security legal requirements concerning the use and protection of certain personal information. These include those adopted pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 in the United States, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU, Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the Cayman Islands' Data Protection Law, and various other laws. Privacy and data security legislation is a priority issue in many states and localities in the United States, as well as foreign jurisdictions outside of the EU. For example, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) which broadly regulates the sale of the consumer information of California residents and grants California residents certain rights to, among other things, access and delete data about them in certain circumstances. Other states are considering similar proposals. Such attempts by the states to regulate have the potential to create a patchwork of differing and/or conflicting state regulations. Ensuring compliance under ever-evolving privacy legislation, such as GDPR and CCPA, is an ongoing commitment, which involves substantial costs.

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 and continuing legislative activity in the United States 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 and other

subject matter experts, review our compliance procedures, solution and service offerings, and business operations, and make changes as we deem necessary or as may be required by the applicable authority. These additional activities and required changes may result in increased expense or may reduce revenues.

Our bank clients are subject to supervision by federal, state, and foreign banking and financial services 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 the current regulatory regimes and 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 significant changes in the value of financial instruments" 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, 2023. There have been no material changes to this information as it is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2023.

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, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
