Insights

Financial Analyst

Federated Hermes' Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. While the company achieved record assets under management (AUM) of $782.7 billion, a 11% increase year-over-year, earnings per share (EPS) dropped significantly to $0.20 from $0.81 in Q2 2023. This decline is primarily attributed to a $66.3 million non-cash intangible asset impairment charge.

The standout performer was the money market segment, reaching a record $586.6 billion in assets, up 15% year-over-year. This growth in low-margin products, while boosting AUM, may not translate to proportional revenue increases. The fixed-income segment saw modest growth, while equity and alternative/private markets assets declined.

Revenue decreased by 7% year-over-year, mainly due to a $36.1 million reduction in carried interest and lower equity assets. The company's revenue mix shows a heavy reliance on money market assets (52%), which typically generate lower fees than long-term assets.

The $0.31 per share dividend and ongoing share repurchases ($47.5 million in Q2) demonstrate confidence in cash flow, but investors should monitor the sustainability of these shareholder returns given the earnings pressure.

Overall, while Federated Hermes shows strength in attracting assets, particularly in money markets, the company faces challenges in high-margin segments and profitability. The impairment charge also raises questions about the long-term value of past acquisitions.

Market Research Analyst

Federated Hermes' Q2 results reflect broader market trends and investor behavior in the current economic environment. The surge in money market assets to $586.6 billion underscores a flight to safety and liquidity amid economic uncertainties and attractive yields in cash-like instruments.

The 6% year-over-year decline in equity assets to $77.9 billion aligns with market volatility and investor caution towards riskier assets. However, the company's quantitative equity strategies, particularly in large-cap and mid-cap growth, showed resilience, indicating a shift in investor preferences within the equity space.

Fixed-income assets grew 9% year-over-year to $95.3 billion, with notable interest in total return and core-plus strategies. This trend reflects investors seeking flexibility in fixed-income allocations amidst changing interest rate expectations and market conditions.

The 7% decrease in alternative/private markets assets to $20.1 billion suggests challenges in this segment, possibly due to valuation pressures or reduced investor appetite for illiquid investments in the current market environment.

These shifts in asset allocation across Federated Hermes' product lineup provide valuable insights into investor sentiment and market dynamics, indicating a preference for liquidity and flexibility in the face of economic uncertainties.

Financial Summary

Q2 2024 non-cash intangible asset impairment charge

Federated Hermes' Q2 2024 results include a $66.3 million non-cash expense, or ($0.76) per diluted share, related to the impairment of an indefinite-lived intangible asset associated with the 2018 acquisition of Federated Hermes Limited, which was driven by changes in projected cash flows.

Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023

Revenue decreased $30.6 million or 7% primarily due to a decrease in carried interest of $36.1 million, including a decrease of $23.5 million of carried interest from consolidated carried interest vehicles, which is largely offset in compensation expense, and a decrease in revenue due to lower average equity assets. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue from higher average money market assets. 

During Q2 2024, Federated Hermes derived 47% of its revenue from long-term assets (29% from equity, 12% from fixed-income, and 6% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 52% from money market assets, and 1% from sources other than managed assets.

Operating expenses increased $27.0 million or 8% primarily due to increased intangible asset related expense due to the  impairment charge, offset by decreases in compensation expense primarily resulting from the lower carried interest from consolidated carried interest vehicles of $23.4 million and a decrease in other expense related to fund reorganization costs.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net was flat.

Q2 2024 vs. Q1 2024

Revenue increased $6.2 million or 2% primarily due to an increase in carried interest of $3.4 million, including an increase of $2.4 million of carried interest from consolidated carried interest vehicles, which is largely offset in compensation expense, and an increase in revenue from higher average money market assets. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue due to lower average long-term assets.

Operating expenses increased $64.1 million or 22% primarily due to increased intangible asset related expense due to the impairment charge.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $3.5 million or 64% primarily due to a decrease in the market value of investments in Q2 2024 compared to an increase in the market value of investments in Q1 2024. 

YTD 2024 vs. YTD 2023

Revenue decreased $16.5 million or 2% primarily due to a decrease in carried interest of $36.2 million, including a decrease of $23.6 million of carried interest from consolidated carried interest vehicles, which is largely offset in compensation expense, and a decrease in revenue due to lower average equity assets. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue from higher average money market assets. 

For the first half of 2024, Federated Hermes derived 47% of its revenue from long-term assets (29% from equity, 12% from fixed-income and 6% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 52% from money market assets, and 1% from sources other than managed assets.

Operating expenses increased $27.8 million or 4% primarily due to increased intangible asset related expense due to the impairment charge offset by a decrease in compensation expense primarily resulting from the lower carried interest from consolidated carried interest vehicles of $23.4 million and a decrease in other expense related to fund reorganization costs.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $2.1 million or 22% primarily due to a smaller increase in the market value of investments in the first six months of 2024 compared to the increase in the market value of investments for the same period in 2023. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in investment yields due to higher interest rates.
