First-Quarter Business Commentary:
- Revenues increased in first-quarter 2012 as compared to first-quarter 2011 and to fourth-quarter 2011 due to an increase in Asset management, administrative, and distribution fee revenues from improved cash-flows and market appreciation in first-quarter 2012. Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $9.6 billion, or eight percent, to $124.1 billion in the first-quarter 2012 as compared to $114.5 billion during the first-quarter 2011 (See attached Ending and Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).
- Sales events, net of client losses, during first-quarter 2012 totaled approximately $26.1 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $23.5 million when contract values are fully realized. These sales events resulted in an increase in sales compensation expense when compared to first-quarter 2011 of $1.8 million.
- Total consolidated expenses in first-quarter 2012 include approximately an additional $1.8 million in fees for other asset management distribution costs and employee severance costs.
- Net income attributable to SEI includes gains from SIV securities of $2.9 million in first-quarter 2012 compared to gains of $6.9 million in first-quarter 2011.
- The effective tax rates were 37.2 percent in the first-quarter 2012, 37.1 percent in the first-quarter 2011 and 34.7 percent in the fourth-quarter 2011. The increase in the tax rate in the first-quarter 2012 as compared to the fourth-quarter 2011 was due to the expiration of the research and development tax credit in first-quarter 2012 and tax planning strategies which benefited the tax rate in fourth-quarter 2011.
- In the first-quarter 2012, SEI purchased 1.8 million shares of its common stock for $37.7 million.
