“The world is coping with a pandemic that continues to cause unimaginable effects to our collective well-being. We thank the healthcare providers who are working to heal and protect us. Our employees’ health and safety have always been, and continue to be, our number one priority. We are incredibly proud of the resilience of our global workforce to transition into a new work environment while maintaining our operational integrity and service levels,” said Alfred P. West, Jr., SEI Chairman and CEO.

“Our workforce and operations remain strong in the face of COVID-19’s impact. Our ability to process a 300-400% increase in transaction activity within some areas of our business demonstrates the true power of our people and technology platforms. While the current market environment will make short-term revenue and profit growth difficult, our strengths shine best, it seems, when challenges are at their highest."

"We have a long-term view and a proven business model that are a strong foundation to help us work through periods of uncertainty. Among our assets are our resilient operations, predictable service delivery, a high-recurring revenue base, strong cash flow, a great client base, and most importantly, a high-quality and innovative workforce. All of these elements have allowed us to not only respond well, but to move forward. Our positive sales results speak to the momentum we are creating, while we make necessary adjustments to maintain sales through this crisis.”

“Despite the current market challenges, we continue to look toward the future. Our solutions will provide growth opportunities that will lead to increased shareholder value.”

First-Quarter Business Highlights:

•

Revenues from Asset management, administration, and distribution fees increased primarily from higher assets under administration in our Investment Managers segment due to sales of new business and market appreciation during 2019 and early 2020; however, this increase was partially offset by a decline in fees from assets under management due to the sharp market depreciation during March 2020, which negatively impacted our asset-based fee revenues.


•	Our average assets under administration increased $85.0 billion, or 14%, to $679.2 billion in the first-quarter 2020, as compared to $594.2 billion during the first-quarter 2019 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).


•	Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $14.0 billion, or 6%, to $237.2 billion in the first-quarter 2020, as compared to $223.2 billion during the first-quarter 2019 (see attached Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).


•	Information processing and software servicing fees in our Private Banks segment decreased by $4.7 million during the first-quarter 2020 due to decreased non-recurring fees and previously announced client losses.


•	Sales events, net of client losses, during first-quarter 2020 totaled approximately $35.1 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $32.5 million when contract values are fully realized.


•	Expenses in our Investments in New Businesses segment grew approximately $5.0 million over first-quarter 2019. This increase is due primarily to our increased investment in new business opportunities, an IT Services offering and work related to our One SEI strategy announced last year.


•	Our earnings from LSV decreased by $7.4 million, or 20%, to $29.9 million in first-quarter 2020 as compared to $37.3 million in first-quarter 2019. The decrease in earnings was due to lower assets under management from negative cash flows from existing clients, the previously mentioned market depreciation during March 2020 and client losses.


•	We recorded a net loss on investments of approximately $4.0 million during the first-quarter 2020. This compares to a net gain of $1.3 million during the first-quarter 2019.


•	We capitalized $6.2 million of software development costs in first-quarter 2020 for continued enhancements to the SEI Wealth Platform^SM (SWP). Amortization expense related to SWP was $10.8 million in first-quarter 2020.


•	Our effective tax rates were 21.5% in first-quarter 2020 and 22.1% in first-quarter 2019.


•	We repurchased 2.4 million shares of our common stock for $127.4 million during the first-quarter 2020.
