Fourth-Quarter Business Highlights:

SEI achieved diluted EPS of $1.19, up 31% from the prior year, representing the second consecutive quarter where SEI has realized significant growth in net sales, revenue and earnings from the prior year.
- Q4 2024 diluted EPS matched Q3's near-record level despite the $0.02 impact of several items affecting comparability in the quarter, specifically:
  - A $0.04 negative impact from higher incentive compensation accrued in Q4, in recognition of our employees' reigniting SEI's momentum and our strong financial performance in 2024.
  - A $0.05 negative impact from the timing of stock-based compensation. Accelerating EPS growth caused an increasing number of equity awards to vest in Q4, driving the higher than normal non-cash expenditure.
  - A $0.02 positive impact from FX transaction gains.
  - A $0.05 positive tax impact from options exercised during the quarter as well as our year-end provision estimate.
Net sales events during the fourth quarter 2024 were $38.2 million, bringing full-year 2024 net sales events to $127.9 million, a 58% increase vs. full-year 2023. Similar to last quarter, the drivers of net sales activity were broad-based, coming from multiple existing and new clients, both in the US and globally.
Consolidated revenues and operating income increased by 15% and 43%, respectively, from Q4 2023, with revenue, operating profit and margins increasing for each business segment.
- Private Banks revenue growth of 14% was supported by recent sales events, increased client retention and the conversion of the existing client backlog into revenue, with operating profit growing 56% due to continued cost discipline.
- Investment Managers operating profit growth of 26% was driven by sales event growth and client cross-selling. Our Investment Managers offering continues to gain traction, most notably with private credit and global clients.
- Investment Advisors operating profit growth of 47% was largely driven by a $21.1 million contribution from the integrated cash program in the quarter.
- Modest Institutional Investors revenue and operating profit growth reflects improvement vs. the first half of 2024, with the business working to offset the negative impact of corporate defined benefit plan terminations.
- Absent the negative impact of incentive and stock compensation expenses noted above, SEI's consolidated operating margins improved relative to the prior year and the prior quarter.
Average assets under administration increased by 3%, and average assets under management increased by 1%, relative to Q3 2024. However, ending assets under management declined by 3% vs. Q3 2024 due to a combination of market valuation and net outflows, most notably for LSV and Institutional Investors, which saw an unusually large impact of plan terminations.
- Relative to Q4 2023, both average assets under administration and assets under management realized healthy growth of 15% and 18%, respectively.
Earnings from LSV decreased to $33.4 million in the fourth quarter 2024 as compared to $35.4 million in the fourth quarter 2023, due to slightly lower incentive fees.
SEI repurchased 3.1 million shares of common stock for $259.5 million during the fourth quarter 2024 at an average price of $83.43 per share.
