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.
