Federated Hermes, Inc. reports third quarter 2020 earnings; board declares cash dividend per share of $1.27, including $0.27 quarterly and $1.00 special dividend
Q3 2020 earnings per diluted share of $0.85 compared to $0.72 for Q3 2019
Equity assets at $80 billion; fixed-income assets reach a record $80 billion
(PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 29, 2020) — Federated Hermes, Inc. (NYSE: FHI), a global leader in active, responsible investing, today reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.85 for Q3 2020, compared to $0.72 for the same quarter last year, on net income of $85.8 million for Q3 2020, compared to $73.0 million for Q3 2019. Federated Hermes reported YTD 2020 earnings per diluted share of $2.29, compared to $1.88 for the same period in 2019, on YTD 2020 net income of $231.2 million, compared to $190.2 million for the same period in 2019.
Federated Hermes' total managed assets were $614.8 billion at Sept. 30, 2020, up $87.6 billion or 17% from $527.2 billion at Sept. 30, 2019 and down $14.0 billion or 2% from $628.8 billion at June 30, 2020. Total average managed assets for Q3 2020 were $628.1 billion, up $110.1 billion or 21% from $518.0 billion reported for Q3 2019 and down $8.8 billion or 1% from $636.9 billion reported for Q2 2020.
"In the third quarter, investors and advisors continued to show strong interest in a range of our actively managed strategies through market volatility and the Covid-19 pandemic," said J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer. "Federated Hermes' equity assets were at $80 billion, with strong investment performance from our international dividend strategy and both an emerging market equity and an international growth equity fund, which were added to our product mix in the last year and are managed by the Cleveland-based international equity team. We saw net sales in a variety of equity styles, including growth, ESG and impact funds.
"We reached record fixed-income assets under management of $80 billion at the end of the third quarter," said Donahue. "Our Total Return Bond Fund and Short-Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund outperformed a majority of their peers during the pandemic. Both funds, which seek to capture opportunities and manage risk through various rate environments, were among our funds with the strongest net sales, along with a range of short-duration and high-yield strategies."
Federated Hermes’ board of directors declared a dividend of $1.27 per share. The dividend, which will be paid from Federated Hermes’ existing cash balance, is considered an ordinary dividend for tax purposes and consists of a $0.27 quarterly dividend and a $1.00 special dividend. The dividend is payable on Nov. 13, 2020 to shareholders of record as of Nov. 6, 2020. During Q3 2020, Federated Hermes purchased 866,900 shares of Federated Hermes class B common stock for $20.0 million.
"The special dividend reinforces Federated Hermes' continued commitment to delivering shareholder value," said Thomas R. Donahue, chief financial officer. "The November dividend payment marks our fifth special-dividend, totaling $7.53 per share, in the last dozen years."
Equity assets were $80.4 billion at Sept. 30, 2020, down $0.4 billion from $80.8 billion at Sept. 30, 2019 and up $3.5 billion or 5% from $76.9 billion at June 30, 2020. Top-selling equity funds during Q3 2020 on a net basis were Federated Hermes

Financial Summary
Q3 2020 vs. Q3 2019
Revenue increased $24.1 million or 7% percent primarily due to higher average money market and fixed-income assets and as a result of revenue of a previously nonconsolidated entity being recorded in operating revenue beginning March 2020. These increases in revenue were partially offset by voluntary fee waivers related to certain money market funds in order for those funds to maintain positive or zero net yields (voluntary yield-related fee waivers). See "Impact of voluntary yield-related fee waivers."
During Q3 2020, Federated Hermes derived 60 percent of its revenue from long-term assets (38 percent from equity assets, 14 percent from fixed-income assets and 8 percent from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 39 percent from money market assets, and 1 percent from sources other than managed assets.
Operating expenses were flat, with increases in compensation being offset by decreased distribution expenses primarily resulting from voluntary yield-related fee waivers on certain money market fund assets.
Nonoperating income (expenses) decreased a net $1.2 million or 17% due to the net operating impact from the previously nonconsolidated entity no longer being recorded as nonoperating income, offset partially by increased investment gains.
Q3 2020 vs. Q2 2020
Revenue increased $3.7 million or 1% primarily due to higher average equity and fixed-income assets. These increases were partially offset by an increase in voluntary yield-related fee waivers and lower average money market assets.
Operating expenses decreased $12.4 million or 5% primarily due to decreased distribution expenses resulting from higher voluntary yield-related fee waivers on certain money market fund assets.
Nonoperating income (expenses) decreased a net $7.8 million or 56% primarily due to the Q3 2020 increase in the market value of investments being less than the Q2 2020 market value increase following the significant recovery from the Q1 2020 coronavirus impact to markets.

YTD 2020 vs. YTD 2019
Revenue increased $115.5 million or 12% primarily due to higher average money market assets, revenue of a previously nonconsolidated entity being recorded in operating revenue beginning March 2020 and higher average fixed-income assets. These increases were partially offset by voluntary yield-related fee waivers.     
For the first nine months of 2020, Federated Hermes derived 57% percent of its revenue from long-term assets (37 percent from equity assets, 13 percent from fixed-income assets and 7 percent from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 42 percent from money market assets, and 1 percent from sources other than managed assets.
Operating expenses increased $57.2 million or 8% primarily due to increased incentive compensation, an increase in distribution expenses associated with higher average money market fund assets and an increase due to a previously nonconsolidated entity being recorded in expenses beginning March 2020. These increases were partially offset by voluntary yield-related fee waivers.
Nonoperating income (expenses) increased a net $4.8 million or 56% primarily due to a gain from a fair value adjustment to the equity investment of a previously nonconsolidated entity.
Impact of voluntary yield-related fee waivers
During the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020, voluntary yield-related fee waivers totaled $36.8 million and $56.9 million, respectively. These fee waivers were largely offset by related reductions in distribution expenses of $33.0 million and
$51.0 million, respectively, such that the net negative pre-tax impact to Federated Hermes was $3.8 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020, respectively.
Federated Hermes' 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 Hermes' business activity levels and financial results. Risk factors and uncertainties that can influence Federated Hermes' financial results are discussed in the company's annual and quarterly reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

1) For certain accounts, Sales and Redemptions are calculated as the remaining difference between beginning and ending assets after the calculation of total investment return.
2) Reflects the impact of translating non-U.S. dollar denominated AUM into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes.
3) Reflects the approximate changes in the fair value of the securities held by the portfolios and, to a lesser extent, reinvested dividends, distributions and net investment income.
4) The balance at September 30, 2019 includes $8.0 billion of assets managed by a previously nonconsolidated entity, Hermes GPE LLP, in which Federated Hermes held an equity method investment. As of March 1, 2020, Hermes GPE LLP is a consolidated subsidiary as a result of Federated Hermes' acquisition of the remaining equity interests in Hermes GPE LLP.
5) For one fixed income separate account, sales, redemptions, net sales (redemptions) and market gains and (losses) were previously incorrectly reported for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. Total assets were reported correctly and are not impacted. Corrections for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, resulted in increasing redemptions, and thereby reducing net sales, by $390 million and increasing market gains by the same amount. Corrections for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, resulted in decreasing sales, and thereby reducing net sales, by $1.1 billion and increasing market gains by the same amount.

1)    Includes separately managed accounts, institutional accounts, sub-advised funds and other managed products. For certain accounts, Sales and Redemptions are calculated as the remaining difference between beginning and ending assets after the calculation of total investment return.
2) Reflects the impact of translating non-U.S. dollar denominated AUM into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes.
3)    Reflects the approximate changes in the fair value of the securities held by the portfolios and, to a lesser extent, reinvested dividends, distributions and net investment income.
4)    For one fixed income separate account, sales, redemptions, net sales (redemptions) and market gains and (losses) were previously incorrectly reported for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. Total assets were reported correctly and are not impacted. Corrections for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, resulted in increasing redemptions, and thereby reducing net sales, by $390 million and increasing market gains by the same amount. Corrections for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, resulted in decreasing sales, and thereby reducing net sales, by $1.1 billion and increasing market gains by the same amount.
