Insights

Financial Analyst

Federated Hermes delivered impressive Q3 2024 results with multiple record-breaking metrics. $1.06 EPS represents a 23% increase from the previous year, while total AUM reached a record $800.5 billion, up 12% year-over-year. The company's money market assets hit $593 billion, demonstrating strong momentum in their core business.

Key positives include record fixed-income assets of $100.2 billion, sustained dividend payments of $0.31 per share and a new share repurchase program authorization. The revenue mix shows stability with 48% from long-term assets and 51% from money market assets. The company's strategic positioning in the rising rate environment has proven beneficial, particularly in money market products offering competitive yields versus bank deposits.

Market Research Analyst

The asset management industry dynamics are clearly favoring Federated Hermes' business model. Eight consecutive quarters of record AUM demonstrate consistent execution and market share gains. The company's diversified product mix, particularly strong money market and fixed-income offerings, positions it well for various market cycles.

The new share repurchase program and continued dividend payments signal management's confidence in future cash flows. Notable positive fund flows in quantitative equity strategies and fixed-income products indicate successful product development and distribution. The 12% growth in fixed-income assets is particularly impressive given market conditions.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Federated Hermes, Inc. (NYSE: FHI), a global leader in active, responsible investing, today reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $1.06 for Q3 2024, compared to $0.86 for the same quarter last year, on net income of $87.5 million for Q3 2024, compared to $75.0 million for Q3 2023.

Federated Hermes' total managed assets were a record $800.5 billion at Sept. 30, 2024, up $85.3 billion or 12% from $715.2 billion at Sept. 30, 2023 and up $17.8 billion or 2% from $782.7 billion at June 30, 2024. Total average managed assets for Q3 2024 were $793.5 billion, up $82.3 billion or 12% from $711.2 billion reported for Q3 2023 and up $13.9 billion or 2% from $779.6 billion for Q2 2024.

"Federated Hermes reached record assets under management for the eighth consecutive quarter on the strength of flows into money market and fixed-income products, along with market appreciation of equity and fixed-income assets. This continued after the Fed's mid-September rate cut, as money market products historically offer a yield advantage when compared to bank deposit accounts and some securities in the direct market," said J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer. "We also saw interest in our Total Return Bond Fund and core plus strategies—in mutual fund, ETF and collective investment fund offerings—as those products are well positioned to meet changing market conditions. In equities, we saw positive net flows in nine of our strong-performing Federated Hermes MDT quantitative mutual funds and ETFs."

Federated Hermes' board of directors declared a dividend of $0.31 per share. The dividend is payable on Nov 15, 2024 to shareholders of record as of Nov 8, 2024. During Q3 2024, Federated Hermes purchased 818,164 shares of Federated Hermes class B common stock for $26.9 million. The board of directors also authorized an additional share repurchase program, which is the firm's 17th, allowing the buyback of up to an additional 5 million shares of Federated Hermes class B common stock in the open market with no expiration date. The repurchased stock is to be held in treasury for employee share-based compensation plans, potential acquisitions and other corporate activities. The company's existing 5 million share repurchase program, approved in October 2023, has approximately 1.2 million shares remaining.

Equity assets were $83.6 billion at Sept. 30, 2024, up $6.3 billion or 8% from $77.3 billion at Sept. 30, 2023 and up $5.7 billion or 7% from $77.9 billion at June 30, 2024.

Financial Summary

Q3 2024 vs. Q3 2023

Revenue increased $5.8 million or 1% primarily due to an increase in revenue from higher average money market assets. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in carried interest of $10.7 million, including a decrease of $7.2 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 assets.

During Q3 2024, Federated Hermes derived 48% of its revenue from long-term assets (29% from equity, 12% from fixed-income, and 7% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 51% from money market assets, and 1% from sources other than managed assets.

Operating expenses decreased $4.5 million or 1% primarily due to a $13.2 million decrease in Other expense resulting primarily from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $6.0 million increase in distribution expenses resulting primarily from higher average managed money market fund assets.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased $11.3 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of investments in Q3 2024 compared to a decrease in the market value of investments in Q3 2023.

Q3 2024 vs. Q2 2024

Revenue increased $5.9 million or 1% primarily due to an increase in revenue from higher average managed assets of all asset classes.

Operating expenses decreased $65.2 million or 18% primarily due to the $66.3 million impairment of an intangible asset associated with the 2018 acquisition of Federated Hermes Limited in Q2 2024.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased $8.9 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of investments in Q3 2024 compared to a decrease in the market value of investments in Q2 2024. 

YTD 2024 vs. YTD 2023

Revenue decreased $10.7 million or 1% primarily due to a decrease in carried interest of $47.0 million, including a decrease of $30.8 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 assets.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue from higher average money market and fixed-income assets. 

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

Operating expenses increased $23.3 million or 2% primarily due to increased intangible asset expense resulting from the impairment charge offset by a decrease in compensation expense primarily resulting from the lower carried interest from consolidated carried interest vehicles and a decrease in other expense primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and fund reorganization costs in 2023.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased $9.2 million primarily due to a larger increase in the market value of investments in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the increase in the market value of investments for the same period in 2023 and, to a lesser extent, an increase in investment yields resulting primarily from higher average interest rates in 2024.
