SEI Reports Second-Quarter 2010 Financial Results

OAKS, Pa., July 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SEI Investments Company (Nasdaq: SEIC) today announced financial results for second-quarter 2010, reporting an increase in net income attributable to SEI and diluted earnings per share compared to second-quarter 2009.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.28.  Effective January 1, 2010, company results reflect the deconsolidation of LSV Asset Management (LSV), returning to the equity method of accounting.  This change in accounting treatment had no impact on net income attributable to SEI.  Without LSV, revenues grew $25.5 million or 13 percent compared to second-quarter 2009 (see Proforma Consolidated Overview below).

"Compared to year ago, our second-quarter results reflect somewhat improved capital markets and the effects of last year's cost reduction initiatives," said Alfred P. West, Jr., SEI Chairman and CEO.

"While our new sales activities are a positive sign, we believe the ongoing volatility of the capital markets represents a continuing challenge.  Longer term, we believe we are well positioned in all business segments to achieve growth.  We continue to make key investments that will create growth opportunities for us and for our clients."

Second-Quarter Business Commentary:

    --  In January 2010, LSV was deconsolidated due to the adoption of newly
        issued accounting guidance. Our ownership interest in LSV was unchanged
        and our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV is reflected in
        "Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate" on our Consolidated
        Statements of Operations. The deconsolidation of LSV had no impact on
        net income attributable to SEI or diluted earnings per share.
    --  Revenues in second-quarter 2009 include $49.1 million from LSV.
        Excluding these revenues, revenues in second-quarter 2010 increased
        $25.5 million or 13 percent compared to second-quarter 2009. This
        increase was primarily due to higher average asset balances under
        management and administration from existing clients because of improved
        capital markets.
    --  Second-quarter 2010 revenues and profits in the Private Banks segment
        include $5.0 million of one-time contract termination fees from a
        previously announced bank client lost as a result of an acquisition.
    --  Second-quarter revenues and profits were up in all other major business
        segments compared to both second-quarter 2009 and first-quarter 2010.
    --  The second-quarter 2010 net income attributable to SEI and diluted
        earnings per share results include gains of $3.9 million associated with
        SIVs primarily due to cash distributions received for note principal
        payments, whereas results in second-quarter 2009 included losses of $2.3
        million. Additional information pertaining to SIVs is contained in SEI's
        2009 Form 10-K filed February 25, 2010.
    --  Assets under management decreased by $13.0 billion during the
        second-quarter 2010 to $148.9 billion at June 30, 2010, as compared to
        $161.9 billion at March 31, 2010, primarily due to the decline in the
        market.
    --  In the second quarter, SEI purchased 1,401,000 shares of its common
        stock for $30.2 million.
