SEI Reports Fourth-Quarter 2011 Financial Results
(firmenpresse) - OAKS, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/25/12 -- SEI Investments Company (NASDAQ: SEIC) today announced financial results for fourth-quarter 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $.25 in fourth-quarter 2011 compared to $.33 in fourth-quarter 2010.
"While the headwinds created by third-quarter 2011 market performance had a dampening effect on fourth-quarter results, we continued to make progress in our business development initiatives that will drive long-term growth," said Alfred P. West, Jr., SEI Chairman and CEO.
"As we enter 2012, we continue to operate in challenging and dynamic markets. We are confident that the solutions we offer and the investments we have made will allow us to succeed in growing our company. In the short-term, we will continue to focus on improving productivity, maintaining a strong and talented workforce and producing strong sales results. In the long-term increasing shareholder value, through strong profit growth, remains our number one goal."
Revenues declined in fourth-quarter 2011 as compared to fourth-quarter 2010 and to third-quarter 2011 due to a decrease in Asset management, administration, and distribution fee revenues from the market decline experienced at the end of third-quarter 2011. Although ending assets increased during the fourth-quarter 2011, SEI's average assets under management (which SEI uses to calculate revenue) decreased during fourth-quarter 2011 compared to fourth-quarter 2010 as well as to third-quarter 2011 (See attached Ending and Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).
Revenues in fourth-quarter 2011 compared to fourth-quarter 2010 also declined due to lower information processing fees due to a decline in one-time revenues.
Sales events, net of client losses, during fourth-quarter 2011 totaled approximately $20.0 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $16.0 million when contract values are fully realized.
Net income attributable to SEI includes losses from SIV securities of $0.7 million in fourth-quarter 2011 compared to gains of $14.3 million in fourth-quarter 2010. In addition fourth-quarter 2010 included gains of $3.8 million relating to sales of other assets.
Diluted earnings per share in fourth-quarter 2011 declined versus third-quarter 2011 due mainly to the revenue decreases mentioned above. Diluted earnings per share declined versus fourth-quarter 2010 due to the revenue decreases above, in addition to SIV and other gains recorded on investments in fourth-quarter 2010.
The effective tax rates were 34.7 percent in the fourth-quarter 2011 as well as in the fourth-quarter 2010. The tax rate in the fourth-quarter 2011 benefited from tax planning strategies while fourth-quarter 2010 benefited from a year-to-date adjustment to reflect the reinstatement of the research and development tax credit.
In the fourth-quarter 2011, SEI purchased 3.2 million shares of its common stock for $52.5 million.
In the fourth-quarter 2011, SEI made a $20.0 million payment on its outstanding debt. As of December 31, 2011, SEI no longer carries any debt.
