Second-Quarter Business Highlights:

SEI achieved diluted EPS of $1.78, up 70% from the prior year, reflecting continued momentum in SEI's business in addition to the $0.58 impact of several items affecting comparability in the quarter, specifically:
- A $0.60 benefit associated with the gain on sale of the Family Office Services business, and a settlement gain from the resolution of a long-standing vendor negotiation.
- A $0.02 combined loss from FX transaction losses and M&A legal fees from our recently announced acquisition of Stratos Wealth Holdings, reflected in Corporate Overhead.
Net sales events during the second quarter 2025 were $29.2 million, bringing net sales events for the trailing 12 months to $160.4 million, a new record. Sales events were driven by the Investment Managers business, which achieved a balanced mix of wins across alternatives, traditional and international investment managers.
- Sales pipelines across all of SEI's businesses remain healthy, including Private Banking and the Asset Management businesses, where net sales events have improved considerably against 2024 losses.
Consolidated revenues and operating income increased by 8% and 9%, respectively, from Q2 2024. SEI's consolidated operating margin of 27% represents a modest improvement over the prior year and a decline vs. Q1 2025, reflecting increased investments in both talent and technology to support expected growth.
- Private Banks operating profit growth of 11% reflects continued momentum and the positive impact of several clients going live in the quarter.
- Investment Managers operating profit growth of 7% was driven by a double-digit increase in alternative manager revenue, partially offset by a slight decline in traditional revenue due to volatile Q2 market valuations.
  - Investment Managers operating profit margin declined vs. Q1 2025 due to hiring ahead of expected new business and a challenging comparison due to first quarter delays in hiring.
- Investment Advisors operating profit growth of 19% reflects the $21M contribution from SEI's integrated cash program, up $11M from Q2 2024.
- Investment Advisors and Institutional Investors realized flat revenue growth relative to Q1 2025 as market appreciation in May and June offset significant declines realized in April.
Average assets under administration increased by 4%, and average assets under management increased 2% relative to Q1 2025. Ending assets under management increased by 6% from Q1 to Q2, reflecting significant market appreciation realized during the months of May and June.
- Institutional Investors and Investment Advisors net flows have improved year-to-date, posting just over $1 billion of net outflows against more than $7 billion of net outflows in the first half of 2024.
SEI repurchased 2.2 million shares of common stock for $180.8 million during the second quarter 2025 at an average price of $83.60 per share, bringing total shares repurchased to 9.0 million for the trailing 12 months.
