Federated Investors, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2018 Earnings
Q4 2018 EPS of $0.61; full-year 2018 EPS of $2.18
Total assets under management reach a record $459.9 billion
Board declares $0.27 per share quarterly dividend
(PITTSBURGH, Pa., Jan. 24, 2019) — Federated Investors, Inc. (NYSE: FII), one of the world's largest investment managers, today reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) for Q4 2018 of $0.61, down from $1.31 for the same quarter last year, on net income of $61.5 million for Q4 2018, compared to $131.8 million for Q4 2017. Full-year 2018 EPS was $2.18, down from $2.87 for 2017 on net income of $220.3 million for 2018, compared to $291.3 million for 2017. Federated's Q4 2017 and full-year 2017 results included $70.4 million of net income, representing $0.70 and $0.69 per share for Q4 2017 and full-year 2017, respectively, resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act). The results in this press release include the acquisition of Hermes Fund Managers Limited (Hermes), beginning July 1, 2018.
Management believes adjusted EPS and adjusted net income for 2017, which are non-GAAP financial measures, are useful measures for investors to evaluate Federated's financial performance as a result of the tax-rate changes resulting from the Tax Act. The adjusted measures reflect what earnings would have been in 2017 had the tax law changes not reduced the federal corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, resulting in a revaluation of Federated's net deferred tax liability in 2017. As such, Federated's Q4 2017 adjusted EPS was $0.61, matching Q4 2018 EPS, and adjusted net income was $61.4 million, compared to net income of $61.5 million for Q4 2018. Full-year 2017 adjusted EPS was $2.18, matching 2018 EPS, and adjusted net income was $220.9 million, compared to net income of $220.3 million for 20181.
Federated's total managed assets were $459.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2018, up $62.3 billion or 16 percent from $397.6 billion at Dec. 31, 2017 and up $22.7 billion or 5 percent from $437.2 billion at Sept. 30, 2018. Average managed assets for Q4 2018 were $443.7 billion, up $61.7 billion or 16 percent from $382.0 billion reported for Q4 2017 and up $9.8 billion or 2 percent from $433.9 billion reported for Q3 2018.
"As the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates four times in 2018, Federated’s wide range of liquidity products offered competitive yields for investors seeking cash-management solutions," said J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer. "Federated’s money market assets increased nearly $38 billion in the fourth quarter, crossing the $300 billion threshold."
Federated's board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share. The dividend is payable on Feb. 15, 2019 to shareholders of record as of Feb. 8, 2019. During Q4 2018, Federated purchased 95,298 shares of Federated class B common stock for $2.2 million, bringing the total shares of Class B common stock purchased in 2018 to 1,205,790 shares for $29.1 million.
Federated's equity assets were $72.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2018, up $9.7 billion or 15 percent from $62.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2017 and down $11.6 billion or 14 percent from $84.1 billion at Sept. 30, 2018. Top-selling equity funds on a net basis during Q4 2018 were Hermes SDG Engagement Equity Fund, Federated MDT Small Cap Growth Fund, Federated Kaufmann Small Cap Fund, Hermes Global Equity ESG Fund and Hermes Global Emerging Markets Small and Mid Cap Equity Fund.

"With the 2018 acquisition of a controlling interest in London-based Hermes Investment Management complete, Hermes is integrated into Federated’s performance,” Donahue said. "Hermes’ ESG strategies, which invest with an emphasis on environmental, social and governance factors, were among Federated’s equity fund net-sales leaders in the fourth quarter, which highlights investor interest in these products."
Federated's fixed-income assets were $63.2 billion at Dec. 31, 2018, down $1.0 billion or 2 percent from $64.2 billion at Dec. 31, 2017 and down $2.2 billion or 3 percent from $65.4 billion at Sept. 30, 2018. Top-selling fixed-income funds on a net basis during Q4 2018 included Federated Ultrashort Bond Fund, Federated Municipal Ultrashort Fund, Federated Short-Term Income Fund, Federated Government Ultrashort Duration Fund and Federated Real Return Bond Fund.
Federated's money market assets were $301.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2018, up $36.6 billion or 14 percent from $265.2 billion at Dec. 31, 2017 and up $37.6 billion or 14 percent from $264.2 billion at Sept. 30, 2018. Money market mutual fund assets were $208.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2018, up $23.0 billion or 12 percent from $185.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2017 and up $25.5 billion or 14 percent from $183.0 billion at Sept. 30, 2018. Federated's money market separate account assets were $93.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2018, up $13.6 billion or 17 percent from $79.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2017 and up $12.0 billion or 15 percent from $81.3 billion at Sept. 30, 2018.
Financial Summary
Q4 2018 vs. Q4 2017
Revenue increased $28.9 million or 10 percent primarily due to the consolidation of Hermes’ revenue, which included performance fees of $5.8 million and higher average money market assets. This increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from lower average equity assets, a decrease in revenue due to the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard and higher voluntary fee waivers for certain money market funds for competitive purposes.
During Q4 2018, Federated derived 63 percent of its revenue from long-term assets (41 percent from equity assets, 14 percent from fixed-income assets and 8 percent from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 36 percent from money market assets, and 1 percent from sources other than managed assets.
Operating expenses increased $31.8 million or 17 percent primarily due to the consolidation of Hermes' expenses. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in expense due to the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard.
Nonoperating (expenses) income, net decreased $8.5 million primarily due to a decrease in the market value of investments, fewer gains realized from the redemption of investments and a decrease in the market value of derivatives used to hedge foreign exchange risk.
Q4 2018 vs. Q3 2018
Revenue decreased $1.4 million primarily due to a decrease in revenue from lower average equity assets. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenue from higher average money market assets and an increase in performance fees.
Operating expenses decreased by $7.5 million or 3 percent primarily due to a decrease in transaction-related costs associated with the acquisition of Hermes.
Nonoperating (expenses) income, net decreased $8.0 million primarily due to private equity carried interest income received in Q3 2018 on assets managed by a nonconsolidated entity, a decrease in the market value of derivatives used to hedge foreign exchange risk and a decrease in the market value of investments, primarily from securities held by consolidated investment companies.

2018 vs. 2017
Revenue increased $32.8 million or 3 percent primarily due to the Hermes acquisition. This increase in revenue included performance fees of $8.6 million that were recorded in 2018, compared to $0.3 million in 2017. This increase in revenue was offset by a decrease in revenue due to the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard, higher voluntary fee waivers for certain money market funds for competitive purposes, and a previously disclosed Q1 2017 change in a customer relationship.
During 2018, Federated derived 62 percent of its revenue from long-term assets (41 percent from equity assets, 16 percent from fixed-income assets and 5 percent from multi-asset and alternative/private markets), 37 percent from money market assets and 1 percent from sources other than managed assets.
Operating expenses increased by $44.0 million or 6 percent primarily due to the consolidation of Hermes' expenses. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in expense due to the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard and a change in the mix of average money market fund assets.
Nonoperating (expenses) income, net decreased $44.6 million primarily due to a loss recorded in Q2 2018 from two foreign currency forward derivative instruments entered into in connection with the Hermes acquisition, a decrease in the market value of investments, primarily from securities held by consolidated investment companies, and fewer gains realized from the redemption of investments in 2018 as compared to 2017.
Federated's level of business activity and financial results are dependent upon many factors including market conditions, investment performance and investor behavior. These factors and others, including asset levels and mix, product sales and redemptions, market appreciation or depreciation, revenues, fee waivers, expenses and regulatory changes, can significantly impact Federated's business activity levels and financial results. Risk factors and uncertainties that can influence Federated's financial results are discussed in the company's annual and quarterly reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
