Insights

Financial Analyst

Federated Hermes delivered a robust Q4 performance that underscores its strategic positioning in the current high-rate environment. The record $829.6B AUM represents a significant 10% YoY increase, primarily driven by exceptional growth in money market assets, which now comprise 76% of total AUM.

The revenue composition is particularly telling, with money market assets contributing 51% of revenue despite representing a much larger portion of AUM. This indicates strong fee optimization across product categories. The 8% YoY revenue growth in Q4 demonstrates effective monetization of the expanded asset base, though operating expenses increased by 9%, suggesting some pressure on margins.

The $66.3M impairment charge related to the Federated Hermes acquisition masks otherwise solid operational performance. The company's strong positioning in money market funds has proven particularly advantageous in the current rate environment, as evidenced by the record $461.7B in money market mutual fund assets.

Notable strength in fixed-income strategies, particularly in ultrashort and emerging market debt, indicates successful diversification beyond core money market offerings. The positive flows into quantitative equity strategies across market caps suggest growing traction in systematic investment approaches, though overall equity assets remained relatively flat year-over-year.

Investment Strategist

The Q4 results reveal FHI's masterful execution in capitalizing on the high-rate environment while building foundations for long-term growth. The 13% YoY expansion in money market assets to $630.3B reflects both market share gains and the broader shift toward cash management solutions.

The company's capital allocation strategy remains shareholder-friendly, with a maintained quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share and significant share repurchases totaling $133.6M in 2024. This balanced approach to capital return while maintaining investment in growth initiatives demonstrates prudent financial management.

The evolution of FHI's product mix deserves attention. While money market assets dominate AUM, the success in fixed-income strategies (up 3% YoY to $98.1B) and quantitative equity products shows promising diversification. The positive flows across the MDT equity product range suggest growing acceptance of systematic strategies among investors.

The slight decline in alternative/private markets assets (down 8% YoY) warrants monitoring but represents a relatively small portion of overall AUM and revenue. The company's strategic focus on expanding its fixed-income and quantitative equity capabilities provides potential growth vectors beyond its traditional money market strength.

Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer. "We also continued to see investor interest in a range of fixed-income strategies, from multisector to ultrashorts to emerging market debt.

Financial Summary

Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023

Revenue increased $33.2 million or 8% primarily due to an increase in revenue from higher average money market and equity assets.

During Q4 2024, Federated Hermes derived 51% of its revenue from money market assets, 48% from long-term assets (29% from equity assets, 12% from fixed-income assets and 7% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset) and 1% from sources other than managed assets.

Operating expenses increased $25.3 million or 9% primarily due to an increase in compensation expense primarily from higher incentive compensation, an increase in distribution expenses resulting primarily from higher average managed money market and equity fund assets and an increase in other expense resulting primarily from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $12.8 million primarily due to a decrease in the market value of investments in Q4 2024 compared to an increase in the market value of investments in Q4 2023.

Q4 2024 vs. Q3 2024

Revenue increased $16.2 million or 4% primarily due to an increase in revenue from higher average equity and money market assets.

Operating expenses increased $17.5 million or 6% primarily due to an increase in other expense resulting primarily from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, an increase in advertising and promotional expenses and an increase in distribution expenses resulting primarily from higher average managed money market fund assets. 

Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $9.0 million primarily due to a decrease in the market value of investments in Q4 2024 compared to an increase in the market value of investments in Q3 2024.

2024 vs. 2023

Revenue increased $22.5 million or 1% primarily due to an increase in revenue from higher average money market and fixed-income assets. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in carried interest of $50.0 million, including a decrease of $32.3 million of carried interest from consolidated carried interest vehicles, which is offset in compensation expense, and a decrease in revenue due to lower average equity and alternative/private markets assets.

During 2024, Federated Hermes derived 51% of its revenue from money market assets, 48% from long-term assets (29% from equity assets, 12% from fixed-income assets and 7% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset) and 1% from sources other than managed assets.

Operating expenses increased by $48.6 million or 4% primarily due to a $66.3 million increase in intangible asset-expense resulting from the impairment of an intangible asset in Q2 2024 associated with the 2018 acquisition of Federated Hermes Limited, offset by a decrease in compensation expense primarily resulting from the previously mentioned lower carried interest from consolidated carried interest vehicles.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $3.6 million primarily due to a smaller increase in the market value of investments in 2024 compared to the increase in the market value of investments in 2023. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in investment income from larger investment balances and an increase in yields due to higher interest rates.
