Third-Quarter Business Highlights:

SEI achieved diluted EPS of $1.30, up 9% from the prior year, driven by strong revenue growth and margin expansion across the business. Several items affected comparability in the quarter, but the net impact to EPS was negligible:
- A $0.03 benefit from insurance proceeds and a $0.01 benefit from an earn-out accrual adjustment in the Advisors business.
- Expenses of $0.02 related to M&A for the planned acquisition of Stratos and $0.02 of severance costs.
- Prior period results included positive contributions from unusual items, adding $0.08 to EPS in Q3 2024 and $0.58 in Q2 2025. Excluding these items, SEI delivered strong sequential and year-over-year EPS growth.
Net sales events totaled $30.5 million for the third quarter 2025, bringing net sales events for the nine-month period to a record $106.3 million. Sales events were led by record results from Investment Managers, reflecting strong demand for outsourcing and client expansions. Sales pipelines across all of SEI's businesses remain robust.
Consolidated revenues and operating income increased by 8% and 11%, respectively, from Q3 2024. SEI's consolidated operating margin of 28% improved over both the prior year and prior quarter, reflecting operating leverage on strong revenue growth and cost discipline.
- Private Banks operating profit declined by 2% due to the benefit of unusual items in Q3 2024; absent these items both revenue and margins improved relative to the prior year.
- Investment Managers operating profit increased 15%, driven by double-digit revenue growth in alternatives. Traditional revenue in Investment Managers also grew at a healthy pace, benefiting in part from favorable market conditions.
- Investment Advisors operating profit growth of 21% reflects the benefit of market appreciation, underlying business momentum, a $2M earn-out true-up and the $21M contribution from SEI's integrated cash program, up $10M from Q3 2024.
- Institutional Investors revenue and profit were flat, reflecting lower equity exposure and less benefit from market appreciation relative to Advisors.
Ending assets under administration increased by 7%, and ending assets under management increased by 5% from Q2 to Q3.
- The majority of growth in assets under administration came from alternatives which do not benefit from market appreciation; growth reflects continued momentum in the Investment Managers alternatives business.
- AUM growth was supported by market appreciation in addition to modestly positive net asset flows in Advisors, as ETF and SMA net inflows offset outflows in traditional mutual funds.
SEI repurchased 1.6 million shares of common stock for $141.6 million during the third quarter 2025 at an average price of $90.02 per share, bringing total shares repurchased to 9.3 million for the trailing 12 months.
