Federated Hermes, Inc. reports first quarter 2023 earnings

  • Q1 2023 earnings per diluted share of $0.78
  • Total assets under management reach all-time high $701.0 billion
  • Money market assets reach record $505.8 billion
  • Board declares $0.28 per share dividend, a 4% increase from Q4 2022

PITTSBURGH, April 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Federated Hermes, Inc. (NYSE: FHI), a global leader in active, responsible investing, today reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.78 for Q1 2023, compared to $0.61 for the same quarter last year, on net income of $69.6 million for Q1 2023, compared to $55.9 million for Q1 2022.

Federated Hermes' total managed assets were a record $701.0 billion at March 31, 2023, up $69.9 billion or 11% from $631.1 billion at March 31, 2022 and up $32.1 billion or 5% from $668.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2022. Total average managed assets for Q1 2023 were $679.4 billion, up $32.2 billion or 5% from $647.2 billion reported for Q1 2022 and up $45.8 billion or 7% from $633.6 billion for Q4 2022.

"Federated Hermes' record assets under management were driven by money market asset increases accompanied by further increases across nearly all other long-term asset classes from the previous quarter, demonstrating once again the value of our diversified business mix," said J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer. "As interest rates continued their rise and as investors considered regional banking issues, many withdrew deposits from small and medium-sized banks and continued to embrace the benefits of money market funds—high credit quality, short duration, diversification, transparency, daily liquidity and market yields. Federated Hermes had positive net flows into a range of our money market products—from government to prime. Additionally, in fixed income, we saw more than $1 billion of flows into our Total Return Bond Fund, which seeks attractive opportunities by allocating across sectors—investment-grade corporate, high yield, structured products, municipals and international—in an effort to take advantage of changing markets while managing risk."

Federated Hermes' board of directors declared a dividend of $0.28 per share, a 4% increase from Q4 2022. The dividend is payable on May 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of May 8, 2023. During Q1 2023, Federated Hermes purchased 132,592 shares of Federated Hermes class B common stock for $4.7 million.

Equity assets were $83.6 billion at March 31, 2023, down $8.1 billion or 9% from $91.7 billion at March 31, 2022 and up $2.1 billion or 3% from $81.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2022. Top-selling equity funds during Q1 2023 on a net basis were Federated Hermes Global Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Federated Hermes International Leaders Fund, Federated Hermes Asia ex-Japan Equity Fund, Federated Hermes MDT Large Cap Growth Fund and Federated Hermes MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund.

Fixed-income assets were $87.5 billion at March 31, 2023, down $4.6 billion or 5% from $92.1 billion at March 31, 2022 and up $0.8 billion or 1% from $86.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2022. Top-selling fixed-income funds during Q1 2023 on a net basis were Federated Hermes Total Return Bond Fund, Federated Hermes SDG Engagement High Yield Credit Fund (UCITS), Federated Hermes Sustainable IG Credit Fund, Federated Hermes Corporate Bond Fund and Federated Hermes Intermediate Corporate Bond Fund.

Alternative/private markets assets were $21.2 billion at March 31, 2023, down $1.9 billion or 8% from $23.1 billion at March 31, 2022 and up $0.4 billion or 2% from $20.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2022.

Money market assets were a record $505.8 billion at March 31, 2023, up $85.2 billion or 20% from $420.6 billion at March 31, 2022 and up $29.0 billion or 6% from $476.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2022. Money market fund assets were $357.3 billion at March 31, 2023, up $77.8 billion or 28% from $279.5 billion at March 31, 2022 and up $21.4 billion or 6% from $335.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2022.

Financial Summary

Q1 2023 vs. Q1 2022

Revenue increased $57.4 million or 18% primarily due to a decrease in 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) and an increase in revenue due to higher average money market assets. For further information on the waivers, see "Impact of voluntary yield-related fee waivers" below. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue due to lower average long-term assets.

During Q1 2023, Federated Hermes derived 52% of its revenue from long-term assets (33% from equity, 13% from fixed-income and 6% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 47% from money market assets, and 1% from sources other than managed assets.

Operating expenses increased $56.2 million or 23% due to increased distribution expenses resulting primarily from lower voluntary yield-related fee waivers.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased $19.1 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of investments in Q1 2023 as compared to a decrease in the market value of investments in Q1 2022.

Q1 2023 vs. Q4 2022

Revenue increased $8.3 million or 2% primarily due to an increase in revenue from higher average money market and equity assets. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue due to two fewer days in Q1 2023.

Operating expenses decreased $13.1 million or 4% due to a prior quarter impairment charge, partially offset by an increase in compensation expense.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $4.1 million or 36% primarily due to a smaller increase in the market value of investments in Q1 2023 as compared to Q4 2022.

Impact of voluntary yield-related fee waivers

There were no voluntary yield-related fee waivers during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, voluntary yield-related fee waivers totaled $75.8 million. These fee waivers were partially offset by related reductions in distribution expenses of $57.5 million, such that the net negative pre-tax impact to Federated Hermes was $18.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

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).
