SEI Reports First-Quarter 2010 Financial Results
OAKS, Pa., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SEI Investments Company (Nasdaq: SEIC) today announced financial results for first-quarter 2010, reporting an increase in net income attributable to SEI, and diluted earnings per share compared to first-quarter 2009. Diluted earnings per share were $0.31. Earnings were positively affected as a result of an increase in value of Structured Investment Vehicle (SIV) securities held on the company's balance sheet due to cash flow from, and market appreciation of, the securities. First-quarter 2010 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 $13 million or six percent compared to first-quarter 2009.
Consolidated Overview For the Three Months

Net Income attributable to SEI 59,420 34,200 74%
Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.31 $0.18 72%
"Compared to a year ago, our first-quarter results reflect improving capital markets, the effects of last year's cost reduction initiatives, and cash and non-cash enhancements to the value of the SIVs on our balance sheet," said Alfred P. West, Jr., SEI Chairman and CEO.
"Our new sales activities are beginning to show results in a healthier economic climate, and we believe there are opportunities in all our segments to achieve growth in new business. In addition, we continue to make key investments in our company that will create long-term growth opportunities for us and for our clients."
The table below provides a proforma comparison as if LSV was reported under the equity method beginning January 2009.

First-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 first-quarter 2009 include $40.2 million from LSV. Excluding
these revenues, revenues in first-quarter 2010 increased $13.1 million
or six percent compared to first-quarter 2009. This increase was due to
higher asset balances under management and administration from existing
clients because of improved capital markets.
-- Revenues in fourth-quarter 2009 include $62.5 million from LSV.
Excluding these revenues, revenues in first-quarter 2010 were
essentially flat versus fourth-quarter 2009.
-- First-quarter 2010 revenues in the Private Banks segment decreased
compared to first-quarter 2009 due to lower trade-execution fees from
reduced trading activity as well as lower investment processing fees
from bank clients previously reported to be involved in mergers and
acquisitions.
-- Expenses in the Private Banks segment during the first-quarter 2010
include a one-time charge of $1.8 million related to a reduction in
workforce.
-- The first-quarter 2010 net income attributable to SEI and diluted
earnings per share results include gains of $17.3 million associated
with SIV-related issues, of which $10.7 million is from cash
distributions received for note principal payments, whereas results in
first-quarter 2009 included losses of $14.4 million. SEI has recognized
cumulative losses of $171.7 million associated with these SIV-related
issues through March 31, 2010. Additional information pertaining to
SIV-related issues involving SEI-sponsored money market funds is
contained in SEI's 2009 Form 10-K filed February 25, 2010.
-- Assets under management increased by $3.0 billion during the
first-quarter 2010 to $161.9 billion, primarily due to market
appreciation.
-- In the first quarter, SEI purchased 1,020,000 shares of its common stock
for $19.5 million.
