Fourth-Quarter Business Commentary:
- 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.
