New York, July 16, 2014 — BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

“In the second quarter, we saw strong revenue growth driven by a combination of robust organic revenue gains and market tailwinds. Our results, with revenue up 12% and as adjusted EPS up 18% year-over-year, once again demonstrate the benefits of our diverse platform,” commented Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock. “During the quarter we generated 4% annualized organic growth or $38.0 billion in long-term net new business. We continue to execute on long-term growth strategies by focusing on key industry trends impacting our clients, including ETFs, alternatives, retirement, outcomes and solutions.

“We saw $13.1 billion of long-term net inflows in Retail as we continued to raise our brand profile, evolve our product set and deepen our distribution relationships. Retail flows were driven by clients’ interest in efficient beta and our outcome-oriented strategies – including multi-asset, alternatives and unconstrained fixed income offerings. This included $3.0 billion in flows to our unconstrained Strategic Income Opportunities fund and $1.1 billion to our Multi-Asset Income fund.

iShares flows of $30.4 billion led the industry in market share for the quarter. Liquidity-oriented investors increased their participation in rising developed and emerging markets, while buy-and-hold investors continued to access our Core Series product suite, which attracted $5.5 billion in the US alone this quarter.

“Among institutional clients, we continued to see strong interest in our multi-asset class offerings, such as our LifePath target-date suite and fiduciary mandates, as well as illiquid alternatives, where we again raised more than $1 billion in commitments.

“BlackRock remains committed to top quartile performance across all of our investment products. Our active fixed income product suite continues to excel, with 90% of taxable assets above benchmark or peer median for the three-year period. Similarly strong investment track records in our scientific active equity, alternatives and index businesses are delivering results for our clients and position us well for future growth. While performance in fundamental equities remains challenged, we continue to make substantial investments to restructure this business and remain confident in our new teams, their processes and the future outlook for growth over time.

“Looking ahead to the second half of 2014, our commitment to alpha generation, product innovation and broad-based distribution positions us well to drive results for our clients and shareholders. The depth of our platform is built on the quality of our people and the strength of our culture, and I want to once again thank BlackRock employees for their commitment to helping our clients build better financial futures.”

Long-Term Business Highlights

Long-term net inflows of $27.4 billion and $13.7 billion from clients in the Americas and EMEA, respectively, were partially offset by net outflows of $3.1 billion from Asia-Pacific clients. At June 30, 2014, BlackRock managed 60% of long-term AUM for investors in the Americas and 40% for clients in EMEA and Asia-Pacific.

A discussion of the Company’s net flows by client type for the second quarter of 2014 is presented below.

 

    Retail long-term net inflows of $13.1 billion included net inflows of $4.2 billion in the United States and $8.9 billion internationally. Flows were led by fixed income net inflows of $10.1 billion, which reflected strong interest in unconstrained fixed income offerings, including $3.0 billion of net inflows into our Strategic Income Opportunities fund. Equity net inflows of $1.5 billion were driven by strong flows into European index mutual funds. Multi-asset class net inflows were led by our Multi-Asset Income fund which raised over $1 billion of net new assets. Alternative U.S. mutual funds generated $0.7 billion in net inflows.

 

    iShares® long-term net inflows of $30.4 billion included U.S. and European iShares net inflows of $23.1 billion and $8.2 billion, respectively. Equity net inflows totaled $20.6 billion, with strength in both developed and emerging markets. Fixed income net inflows of $9.5 billion represented the leading share of fixed income industry ETF flows for the quarter. The U.S. Core Series generated $5.5 billion of net inflows.

 

    Institutional active long-term net inflows of $1.0 billion were led by multi-asset class net inflows of $5.3 billion, which reflected ongoing demand for our LifePath® target-date suite and fiduciary mandate wins. Equity net outflows of $4.5 billion included fundamental net outflows of $2.4 billion and scientific net outflows of $2.1 billion. Alternatives net outflows of $0.6 billion included $0.9 billion of capital successfully returned to investors.

 

-2-


    Institutional index long-term net outflows of $6.6 billion were driven by equity net outflows of $7.9 billion related to client asset allocation decisions.

Cash management AUM increased 2% to $268.4 billion.

Advisory AUM decreased 4% to $30.5 billion due to disposition portfolio liquidations. The execution of these liquidations contributed to BlackRock Solutions® and advisory revenue in the quarter.

Highlights

 

    Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $257 million from the second quarter of 2013 due to higher long-term average AUM. Securities lending fees of $140 million in the current quarter increased $4 million from the second quarter of 2013.

Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $143 million from the first quarter of 2014 due to higher long-term average AUM, the effect of one additional revenue day in the current quarter and seasonally higher securities lending fees. Securities lending fees increased $35 million from the first quarter of 2014 driven by higher seasonal demand.

 

    Performance fees increased $26 million from the second quarter of 2013, primarily reflecting higher fees from equity and alternative products.

Performance fees declined $43 million from the first quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting a large performance fee in the first quarter of 2014 associated with the planned final liquidation of a closed-end mortgage fund.

 

    BlackRock Solutions and advisory revenue increased $8 million from the second quarter of 2013 due to higher revenue from Aladdin® mandates. BlackRock Solutions and advisory revenue included $109 million in Aladdin business revenue in the current quarter compared with $98 million in the second quarter of 2013.

 

    Other revenue increased $17 million from the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to higher transition management service fees and higher earnings from certain strategic investments.

Highlights

 

    Employee compensation and benefits increased $84 million from the second quarter of 2013, reflecting higher headcount and higher incentive compensation driven by higher operating income.

Employee compensation and benefits decreased $34 million from the first quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting lower seasonal employer payroll taxes, partially offset by higher incentive compensation.

 

    General and administration expense decreased $88 million from the second quarter of 2013, largely driven by the $124 million expense related to the charitable contribution of approximately six million units of the Company’s equity method investment in PennyMac in the second quarter of 2013 (the “Charitable Contribution”), which has been excluded from as adjusted results. The second quarter of 2014 included higher other expense, including elevated legal and regulatory expense.

General and administration expense increased $64 million from the first quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting the timing of marketing and promotional spend, increased occupancy expense, reflecting a one-time benefit from the reversal of a real estate-related retirement obligation in the first quarter of 2014, which is no longer required to be funded and higher other expense, including elevated legal and regulatory expense.

Highlights

 

    Net gains on investments for the current quarter decreased $101 million from the second quarter of 2013. The second quarter of 2013 included a noncash, nonoperating pre-tax gain of $80 million related to the Charitable Contribution, which has been excluded from as adjusted results, and a $39 million gain related to the Company’s interest in PennyMac subsequent to its initial public offering (the “PennyMac IPO”).

Net gains on investments for the current quarter decreased $32 million from the first quarter of 2014 due to the positive impact of the monetization of a non-strategic, opportunistic private equity investment included in the prior quarter.

Highlights

 

    The second quarter 2014 GAAP effective income tax rate was 26.8% compared with 22.5% for the second quarter of 2013. The second quarter 2014 GAAP effective income tax rate, as adjusted was 24.8% compared with 27.3% for the second quarter of 2013.

The second quarter 2014 GAAP tax rate included a $23 million net noncash expense, primarily associated with the revaluation of certain deferred tax liabilities arising from the state and local tax effect of changes in the Company’s organizational structure, which has been excluded from the as adjusted results. In addition, the second quarter 2014 GAAP tax rate benefited from an improvement in the geographic mix of earnings and included a $34 million net tax benefit related to several favorable nonrecurring items.

The second quarter 2013 GAAP tax rate included a net tax benefit of approximately $57 million recognized in connection with the Charitable Contribution, which has been excluded from as adjusted results. In addition, the second quarter 2013 GAAP tax rate included a tax benefit of approximately $29 million, primarily due to the realization of loss carryforwards.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (unaudited)

BlackRock reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”); however, management believes evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP financial measures. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and, for the reasons described below, considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of BlackRock’s financial performance over time. BlackRock’s management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Computations for all periods are derived from the condensed consolidated statements of income as follows:

(1) Operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted:

Operating income, as adjusted, equals operating income, GAAP basis, excluding certain items management deems nonrecurring, recurring infrequently or transactions that ultimately will not impact BlackRock’s book value. Management believes operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, are effective indicators of BlackRock’s financial performance over time and, therefore, provide useful disclosure to investors.

 

    Operating income, as adjusted, includes non-GAAP expense adjustments. The portion of compensation expense associated with certain long-term incentive plans (“LTIP”) funded, or to be funded, through share distributions to participants of BlackRock stock held by The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) has been excluded because it ultimately does not impact BlackRock’s book value. The second quarter of 2013 included a $124 million expense related to the Charitable Contribution that has been excluded from operating income, as adjusted due to its nonrecurring nature and because the noncash, nonoperating pre-tax gain of $80 million related to the contributed PennyMac investment is reported in nonoperating income (expense). Compensation expense associated with appreciation (depreciation) on investments related to certain BlackRock deferred compensation plans has been excluded as returns on investments set aside for these plans, which substantially offset this expense, are reported in nonoperating income (expense).

Management believes operating income exclusive of these items is a useful measure in evaluating BlackRock’s operating performance and helps enhance the comparability of this information for the reporting periods presented.

 

    Operating margin, as adjusted, allows BlackRock to compare performance from period to period by adjusting for items that may not recur, recur infrequently or may have an economic offset in nonoperating income (expense). BlackRock also uses operating margin, as adjusted, to monitor corporate performance and efficiency and as a benchmark to compare its performance with other companies. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating BlackRock’s financial performance. The non-GAAP measure by itself may pose limitations because it does not include all of BlackRock’s revenue and expense.

Operating income used for measuring operating margin, as adjusted, is equal to operating income, as adjusted, excluding the impact of closed-end fund launch costs and related commissions. Management believes the exclusion of such costs and related commissions is useful because these costs can fluctuate considerably and revenue associated with the expenditure of these costs will not fully impact BlackRock’s results until future periods.

Revenue used for operating margin, as adjusted, excludes distribution and servicing costs paid to related parties and other third parties. Management believes the exclusion of such costs is useful because it creates consistency in the treatment for certain contracts for similar services, which due to the terms of the contracts, are accounted for under GAAP on a net basis within investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue. Amortization of deferred sales commissions is excluded from revenue used for operating margin measurement, as adjusted, because such costs, over time, substantially offset distribution fee revenue the Company earns. For each of these items, BlackRock excludes from revenue used for operating margin, as adjusted, the costs related to each of these items as a proxy for such offsetting revenue.

 

-15-


(2) Nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted:

Nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, equals nonoperating income (expense), GAAP basis, less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, adjusted for compensation expense associated with (appreciation) depreciation on investments related to certain BlackRock deferred compensation plans. The compensation expense offset is recorded in operating income. This compensation expense has been included in nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, to offset returns on investments set aside for these plans, which are reported in nonoperating income (expense), GAAP basis.

Management believes nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, provides comparability of information among reporting periods and is an effective measure for reviewing BlackRock’s nonoperating contribution to results. As compensation expense associated with (appreciation) depreciation on investments related to certain deferred compensation plans, which is included in operating income, substantially offsets the gain (loss) on the investments set aside for these plans, management believes nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, provides a useful measure, for both management and investors, of BlackRock’s nonoperating results that impact book value. During the second quarter of 2013, the noncash, nonoperating pre-tax gain of $80 million related to the contributed PennyMac investment has been excluded from nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted due to its nonrecurring nature and because the more than offsetting associated Charitable Contribution expense of $124 million is reported in operating income.

(3) Net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted:

Management believes net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, and diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, are useful measures of BlackRock’s profitability and financial performance. Net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, equals net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., GAAP basis, adjusted for significant nonrecurring items, charges that ultimately will not impact BlackRock’s book value or certain tax items that do not impact cash flow.

See note (1) Operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, for information on the PNC LTIP funding obligation and the Charitable Contribution.

The three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included a $23 million net noncash tax expense primarily related to the revaluation of certain deferred tax liabilities. The resulting increase in income taxes has been excluded from net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, as these items will not have a cash flow impact and to ensure comparability among periods presented. The three and six months ended June 30, 2013 included a tax benefit of approximately $57 million recognized in connection with the Charitable Contribution. The tax benefit has been excluded from net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted due to the nonrecurring nature of the Charitable Contribution.

(4) For each period presented, the non-GAAP adjustments related to the PNC LTIP funding obligation was tax effected at the respective blended rates applicable to the adjustments. The three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included a $23 million net noncash tax expense primarily related to the revaluation of certain deferred tax liabilities. The three and six months ended June 30, 2013 included a tax benefit of approximately $57 million recognized in connection with the Charitable Contribution.

(5) Nonvoting participating preferred stock is considered to be a common stock equivalent for purposes of determining basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
