First-Quarter Business Highlights:

SEI started the year with strong quarterly performance, achieving diluted EPS of $1.40, up 20% from the prior year. On an adjusted basis, EPS increased by 21% relative to the prior year, driven by strong topline growth and margin expansion across SEI's businesses.
First quarter net sales events totaled $67.2 million, with $57.1 million of that total being recurring; both the total sales events and recurring sales events represent record levels for SEI.
- Private Banks net sales events totaled $6.5 million, reflecting continued demand across SEI's full suite of capabilities, including enterprise-wide professional services, implementation services, and the SEI Wealth Platform^SM. Of the $4.0 million of net sales events within Investments in New Businesses, $1.4 million were won in partnership with Private Banking.
- Investment Managers led the quarter with $50.5 million of net sales events, driven by multiple enterprise-level mandates with first-time outsourcers. These larger wins were supplemented with contributions from both the IMS traditional and alternatives business, both in the US and globally.
- Investment Advisors net sales events of $7.0 million demonstrate continued progress in SEI's asset management offering, with Q1 momentum driven by ETFs, SMAs, and custody-only solutions. Institutional Investors recorded negative $2.9 million of net sales events, driven by a large defined benefit client meeting their funding objectives and annuitizing their plan.
Consolidated revenues and operating income increased by 13% and 21%, respectively, from Q1 2025. On an adjusted basis, operating income increased by 24% from Q1 2025, with SEI's adjusted operating margin increasing to 32%, up 281 bps. Across all business segments, both revenue and operating profit increased vs. Q1 2025.
- Private Banking revenue increased 11% and operating margins increased 449 bps vs. Q1 2025, driving operating profit 40% higher. Strong growth reflects a growing contribution from professional services, including the record wins achieved in Q4 of last year, and continued execution against Private Banking's five-pillar margin enhancement strategy.
- Investment Managers delivered double-digit revenue and operating profit growth vs. last year, as sales event momentum translates into financial performance. The slight margin decline vs. Q4 2025 was expected and primarily driven by the Q4 2025 revenue accrual true-up which did not recur in first quarter.
- Investment Advisors posted 24% revenue and 12% operating profit growth versus the prior year, although comparisons are impacted by the first full quarter of Stratos results. During the quarter, Stratos contributed $19.0 million to revenue and $3.1 million to operating profit, which includes $6.0 million of expense associated with acquired intangible asset amortization, before considering non-controlling interest. SEI's integrated cash program contributed $20.4 million, consistent with Q3 2025 and Q4 2025.
- Institutional Investors generated single-digit revenue and operating profit growth compared to the prior year driven by market appreciation and cost discipline.
Ending assets under administration increased by 4%, and ending assets under management was flat from Q4 to Q1. AUA growth was driven primarily by strong client win momentum. Ending AUM as of Q1 was essentially flat with Q4, as healthy net inflows in Advisors offset market depreciation in March.
SEI repurchased 2.6 million shares of common stock for $208.3 million during the first quarter 2026 at an average price of $81.55 per share.

Non-GAAP Information & Reconciliations

(In thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited)

We present certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by enhancing the understanding of our core operating performance and facilitating comparisons across reporting periods. These non-GAAP measures are also used by our management to evaluate operating results, allocate resources, and assess performance against strategic objectives.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following schedules reconcile U.S. GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for each quarter in 2026 and 2025:

(A)	This non-GAAP adjustment removes incremental and directly attributable costs incurred to execute acquisitions, such as third-party advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and due diligence. For 2025, this non-GAAP adjustment consisted of the legal costs, advisory fees, and due diligence fees in relation to the Stratos acquisition. Management believes adjusting for these charges helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability quarter to quarter.
(B)	This non-GAAP adjustment removes the impact of amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets (e.g., customer relationships, technology, trade names). This non-GAAP adjustment removes only amortization recorded in the current period related to acquired intangibles from prior acquisitions. The non-GAAP adjustments in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 include the amortization of the acquired intangibles from the Stratos acquisition, which closed in December 2025. Management included the Stratos related amortization expense net of the 42.5% NCI adjustment for the adjusted EPS calculation. However, this adjustment is not inclusive of the NCI portion for adjusted operating margin. The associated revenues are not adjusted. Management believes adjusting for these charges helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability quarter to quarter.
(C)	This non-GAAP adjustment removes realized gains on the sale of assets owned or entities under our control, out of the normal course of business. In Q3 2024, this non-GAAP adjustment consisted of the realized gain on the sale of property in New York City, NY. In Q2 2025, the adjustment consisted of the realized gain from the sale of Family Office Services (FOS). Management believes adjusting for these gains helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability quarter to quarter.
(D)	This non-GAAP adjustment removes individually significant litigation settlements and insurance proceeds. In Q2 2025, this non-GAAP adjustment consisted of a $4.5M settlement related to a vendor matter and, in Q3 2025, this adjustment consisted of an insurance settlement. Management included both of these transactions as non-GAAP adjustments since they were both out of the normal course of business. Management believes adjusting for these items helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability quarter to quarter.
(E)	This non-GAAP adjustment includes severance, benefits, and other related personnel costs, net of the associated reversal in stock-based compensation costs. We only include the related costs when (i) part of a bona fide, company-wide cost-reduction initiative, and (ii) not expected to recur frequently. During Q4 2025, we reduced our workforce by 4% as part of a bona fide, company-wide cost reduction initiative which is not expected to recur frequently. Management believes this adjustment helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability period to period.
(F)	Income tax effects are presented as a separate reconciling item (not netted within each adjustment). For performance measures, the tax effect reflects current and deferred tax expense commensurate with the adjusted measure of profitability. The methodology used (e.g., statutory rate, effective rate, or discrete item approach) is consistently applied. All of the above items use a systematic approach.

First-Quarter Business Highlights:

SEI started the year with strong quarterly performance, achieving diluted EPS of $1.40, up 20% from the prior year. On an adjusted basis, EPS increased by 21% relative to the prior year, driven by strong topline growth and margin expansion across SEI's businesses.
First quarter net sales events totaled $67.2 million, with $57.1 million of that total being recurring; both the total sales events and recurring sales events represent record levels for SEI.
- Private Banks net sales events totaled $6.5 million, reflecting continued demand across SEI's full suite of capabilities, including enterprise-wide professional services, implementation services, and the SEI Wealth Platform^SM. Of the $4.0 million of net sales events within Investments in New Businesses, $1.4 million were won in partnership with Private Banking.
- Investment Managers led the quarter with $50.5 million of net sales events, driven by multiple enterprise-level mandates with first-time outsourcers. These larger wins were supplemented with contributions from both the IMS traditional and alternatives business, both in the US and globally.
- Investment Advisors net sales events of $7.0 million demonstrate continued progress in SEI's asset management offering, with Q1 momentum driven by ETFs, SMAs, and custody-only solutions. Institutional Investors recorded negative $2.9 million of net sales events, driven by a large defined benefit client meeting their funding objectives and annuitizing their plan.
Consolidated revenues and operating income increased by 13% and 21%, respectively, from Q1 2025. On an adjusted basis, operating income increased by 24% from Q1 2025, with SEI's adjusted operating margin increasing to 32%, up 281 bps. Across all business segments, both revenue and operating profit increased vs. Q1 2025.
- Private Banking revenue increased 11% and operating margins increased 449 bps vs. Q1 2025, driving operating profit 40% higher. Strong growth reflects a growing contribution from professional services, including the record wins achieved in Q4 of last year, and continued execution against Private Banking's five-pillar margin enhancement strategy.
- Investment Managers delivered double-digit revenue and operating profit growth vs. last year, as sales event momentum translates into financial performance. The slight margin decline vs. Q4 2025 was expected and primarily driven by the Q4 2025 revenue accrual true-up which did not recur in first quarter.
- Investment Advisors posted 24% revenue and 12% operating profit growth versus the prior year, although comparisons are impacted by the first full quarter of Stratos results. During the quarter, Stratos contributed $19.0 million to revenue and $3.1 million to operating profit, which includes $6.0 million of expense associated with acquired intangible asset amortization, before considering non-controlling interest. SEI's integrated cash program contributed $20.4 million, consistent with Q3 2025 and Q4 2025.
- Institutional Investors generated single-digit revenue and operating profit growth compared to the prior year driven by market appreciation and cost discipline.
Ending assets under administration increased by 4%, and ending assets under management was flat from Q4 to Q1. AUA growth was driven primarily by strong client win momentum. Ending AUM as of Q1 was essentially flat with Q4, as healthy net inflows in Advisors offset market depreciation in March.
SEI repurchased 2.6 million shares of common stock for $208.3 million during the first quarter 2026 at an average price of $81.55 per share.

(A)	This non-GAAP adjustment removes incremental and directly attributable costs incurred to execute acquisitions, such as third-party advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and due diligence. For 2025, this non-GAAP adjustment consisted of the legal costs, advisory fees, and due diligence fees in relation to the Stratos acquisition. Management believes adjusting for these charges helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability quarter to quarter.
(B)	This non-GAAP adjustment removes the impact of amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets (e.g., customer relationships, technology, trade names). This non-GAAP adjustment removes only amortization recorded in the current period related to acquired intangibles from prior acquisitions. The non-GAAP adjustments in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 include the amortization of the acquired intangibles from the Stratos acquisition, which closed in December 2025. Management included the Stratos related amortization expense net of the 42.5% NCI adjustment for the adjusted EPS calculation. However, this adjustment is not inclusive of the NCI portion for adjusted operating margin. The associated revenues are not adjusted. Management believes adjusting for these charges helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability quarter to quarter.
(C)	This non-GAAP adjustment removes realized gains on the sale of assets owned or entities under our control, out of the normal course of business. In Q3 2024, this non-GAAP adjustment consisted of the realized gain on the sale of property in New York City, NY. In Q2 2025, the adjustment consisted of the realized gain from the sale of Family Office Services (FOS). Management believes adjusting for these gains helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability quarter to quarter.
(D)	This non-GAAP adjustment removes individually significant litigation settlements and insurance proceeds. In Q2 2025, this non-GAAP adjustment consisted of a $4.5M settlement related to a vendor matter and, in Q3 2025, this adjustment consisted of an insurance settlement. Management included both of these transactions as non-GAAP adjustments since they were both out of the normal course of business. Management believes adjusting for these items helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability quarter to quarter.
(E)	This non-GAAP adjustment includes severance, benefits, and other related personnel costs, net of the associated reversal in stock-based compensation costs. We only include the related costs when (i) part of a bona fide, company-wide cost-reduction initiative, and (ii) not expected to recur frequently. During Q4 2025, we reduced our workforce by 4% as part of a bona fide, company-wide cost reduction initiative which is not expected to recur frequently. Management believes this adjustment helps the reader's ability to understand our core operating results and increases comparability period to period.
(F)	Income tax effects are presented as a separate reconciling item (not netted within each adjustment). For performance measures, the tax effect reflects current and deferred tax expense commensurate with the adjusted measure of profitability. The methodology used (e.g., statutory rate, effective rate, or discrete item approach) is consistently applied. All of the above items use a systematic approach.
