New York, July 18, 2012 — BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK) today reported second quarter 2012 diluted EPS of $3.08 compared with $3.21 in second quarter 2011. Second quarter 2012 net income⁽¹⁾ totaled $554 million compared with $572 million in first quarter 2012 and $619 million from a year ago. Operating income for second quarter 2012 totaled $829 million with operating margin of 37.2%.

As adjusted⁽²⁾ results. Second quarter 2012 operating income totaled $832 million compared with $883 million in second quarter 2011. Diluted EPS totaled $3.10 and included operating income of $3.27 per diluted share and net non-operating expense of $0.17 per diluted share. As compared with first quarter 2012, operating income rose 1% and reflected seasonal factors, partially offset by market-driven declines, lower performance fees and higher costs related to the new brand campaign. Operating margin in second quarter 2012 improved to 39.2% from 38.6% in first quarter 2012.

“Our second quarter 2012 financial performance again demonstrated the strength and resilience of BlackRock’s diversified platform and our commitment to delivering for shareholders,” said Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock. “Despite market headwinds and the growing defensive posture of investors, we delivered consistent results quarter-over-quarter with $832 million in adjusted operating income and diluted EPS of $3.10. Our global platform and breadth of investment products and solutions positioned us effectively to serve clients in this environment, allowing us to attract positive long-term flows overall with particular strength in passive products in the face of broader industry contraction. Additionally, our pipeline, predominantly representing our institutional business, stood at $54.8 billion in mid-July.”

“As always, we remain intensely focused on further enhancing the experience of our clients by delivering superior investment performance in products and solutions that meet their most important needs. We are committed to continuously evolving our organization and fully leveraging the benefits of our global platform as we invest in talent, product innovation and greater brand awareness while still driving strong shareholder value. This quarter we demonstrated our commitment to returning value to our shareholders as we repurchased $1.0 billion of shares from Barclays Bank PLC and supported the successful secondary offer of their remaining ownership interest. We also announced the Swiss Re Private Equity Partners acquisition that further extends both our alternative capabilities as well as our European presence. While the investment environment remains challenging, the underlying momentum in our business is strong given the environment, and I am pleased with the investments we have been making to diversify the platform.

“As we look toward the second half of the year, I want to acknowledge the tireless efforts of the entire BlackRock team and the great work they do to serve their clients and deliver value for our shareholders. While we remain cautious around the prospects for the global economy, we are confident that the model we have built will continue to serve our clients and shareholders and deliver attractive long-term returns.”

Second Quarter Business Highlights

Assets under management (“AUM”) closed the quarter at $3.560 trillion, down 3% since first quarter end and down 3% year-over-year, largely driven by $94.7 billion of market-related declines across products. Long-term net new business of $3.7 billion reflected net inflows in fixed income and multi-asset class products of $5.6 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, partly offset by outflows from equity and alternatives totaling $6.2 billion. Total net outflows of $29.4 billion included $1.5 billion of cash management outflows and $31.6 billion of planned advisory distributions related to the successful wind-down of Maiden Lane portfolios.

Long-term AUM of $3.255 trillion decreased 3%, or $89.1 billion, since first quarter end, largely driven by market valuation declines of $92.8 billion. These results reflected long-term net inflows of $3.7 billion from the Americas and $0.1 billion from EMEA, which were modestly offset by $0.1 billion of long-term net outflows from Asia-Pacific clients.

Retail AUM of $374.0 billion, reflected net inflows of $1.6 billion overshadowed by $15.1 billion of market valuation declines. At quarter end, 75% of long-term AUM was managed for investors based in the Americas with 25% managed for international clients.

 

•

U.S. retail and high net worth inflows of $2.9 billion were driven by strong interest in income-oriented products, including equity dividend, U.S. sector-specialty and municipal fixed income offerings. The equity dividend fund garnered $1.8 billion in net new business.

 

•

International retail outflows of $1.3 billion reflected a continued movement toward de-risking given ongoing uncertainty in European markets and were predominantly from regional and country-specific equity strategies.

Retail and high net worth AUM represented 11% of total long-term AUM at quarter end and generated $644 million, or 34%, of total long-term base fees.

iShares generated $6.1 billion of net inflows, which were more than offset by market valuation declines of $32.8 billion, ending the quarter with $644.9 billion of AUM. Fixed income net inflows of $11.7 billion were partially offset by outflows of $5.4 billion and $0.2 billion from equity and alternatives commodity funds, respectively.

 

•

U.S. iShares generated over $8.9 billion of net inflows into fixed income funds, led by demand for yield-oriented products. Strong fixed income flows were muted by a retreat from equity funds, particularly from emerging markets products as investors de-risked in the face of market volatility.

 

•

International iShares similarly showed signs of shifting investor preferences with strong fixed income inflows of $2.8 billion and modest equity inflows of $0.2 billion.

iShares AUM represented 20% of total long-term AUM at quarter end and generated $596 million of revenue, or 31%, of total long-term base fees.

Institutional active AUM declined 1%, or $9.0 billion, to $850.0 billion, with net outflows of $5.9 billion compounded by $3.2 billion of market valuation losses. Net inflows of $4.1 billion into multi-asset class products were more than offset by outflows across fixed income, alternatives and equities.

 

•

Multi-asset class products attracted inflows of $4.1 billion with continued strength in target date and global asset allocation offerings.

 

•

Fixed income outflows of $6.1 billion were driven by outflows of $7.3 billion and $4.5 billion from global bond and local currency mandates, respectively, as concerns over the Euro crisis prompted clients to shift asset allocations. These outflows were partially offset by strong inflows of $7.8 billion into U.S. sector-specialty products.

 

-2-

---

•

Alternatives experienced outflows of $2.3 billion, with renewable power inflows of $0.2 billion offset by outflows of $2.2 billion across other core alternatives offerings and by outflows of $0.3 billion from currencies and commodities. The alternatives initiative continued with the completion of the initial close of the BlackRock NTR Renewable Power Fund. We also announced the planned acquisition of Swiss Re Private Equity Partners, the European private equity franchise of Swiss Re, expected to close in the third quarter 2012.

 

•

Equity outflows totaled $1.6 billion, largely reflecting $1.5 billion of outflows from scientific active equity (“SAE”) products despite continuing improvements in performance.

Institutional active strategies represented 26% of total long-term AUM at quarter end and generated $440 million, or 23%, of long-term base fees.

Institutional index AUM ended the quarter at $1.387 trillion, reflecting market valuation declines of $41.8 billion and net inflows of $2.0 billion.

 

•

Equity net inflows of $6.5 billion showed clients’ continued use of passive strategies to gain broad market exposure, with flows largely into global equity mandates.

 

•

Fixed income net outflows of $2.7 billion were driven by local currency outflows of $7.0 billion, which overshadowed robust inflows of $3.6 billion into U.S. core and U.S. sector-specialty mandates.

Institutional index represented 43% of total long-term AUM at quarter end and generated $222 million, or 12%, of total long-term base fees.

Cash management AUM decreased 1%, or $2.5 billion, to $239.5 billion reflecting net outflows of $1.5 billion and net market and foreign exchange losses of $1.0 billion. Outflows reflected institutional reaction to the continued low-rate environment.

Advisory AUM declined 33% to $65.0 billion driven almost exclusively by Maiden Lane portfolio liquidation disbursements.

Investment performance improved across much of the product platform.

 

•

Equity fundamental products reflected 39%, 44% and 69% of AUM performing above the benchmark or peer median for the one-, three-, and five- year periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. SAE performance continues to improve, as evidenced by 67%, 85% and 43% of SAE AUM performing above benchmark or peer median for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Our passive equity performance remained strong, with 96%, 94% and 96% of AUM within or above tolerance for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

•

Taxable fixed income products performed with 71%, 81% and 53% of AUM above benchmark or peer median for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, while our active tax-exempt business showed consistent results with 64%, 67% and 73% of AUM above the benchmark or peer median for the same time periods. Passive performance was strong with 96%, 96% and 91% of AUM within or above tolerance for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

•

Multi-asset performance showed 32%, 37%, and 87% of AUM above the benchmark or peer median for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

BlackRock Solutions^® (“BRS”) generated $131 million in revenues during the quarter, up 7% from first quarter 2012, reflecting the continued heightened focus on risk management given continued market volatility and increasing regulatory scrutiny.

 

•

BRS added eight net new assignments during the quarter, including one risk management mandate, five Financial Markets Advisory (“FMA”) assignments, nine non-recurring advisory engagements and completed six short-term advisory assignments during the quarter.

 

•

Demand remained strong for the Aladdin-based services, with 21% year-over-year growth in Aladdin revenues, which represented approximately two-thirds of total BRS revenues. A significant amount of growth was fuelled by existing clients adding newly acquired assets, additional regions and equity capabilities.

 

•

The FMA business continues to generate strong returns from its global recognition as a strong advisor to governments and large financial institutions. During the quarter, we disposed of nearly $32.0 billion in advisory assets for our clients, largely related to Maiden Lane I and Maiden Lane III, which have fully repaid principal owed to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, with interest.

Net new business pipeline totaled $54.8 billion at July 12, 2012, and included $42.7 billion in index mandates and $2.1 billion in active mandates that are expected to fund in future quarters. In addition, the pipeline contained $9.3 billion of mandates that funded since quarter end. The unfunded portion of the pipeline primarily represents institutional assets, which account for approximately two-thirds of long-term AUM but only one-third of revenues. BlackRock Solutions pipeline of contracts and proposals remains robust.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Comparison to the Second Quarter 2011

Operating income: Second quarter 2012 operating income was $829 million compared with $866 million in second quarter 2011. Operating income, as adjusted, was $832 million compared with $883 million in second quarter 2011.

Second quarter 2012 revenue of $2.2 billion decreased $118 million from $2.3 billion in second quarter 2011, primarily due to the following:

 

•

Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue of $2.0 billion in second quarter 2012 decreased from $2.1 billion in second quarter 2011, as higher revenues from fixed income products, predominantly iShares, were more than offset by lower fees from equity products due to market-driven reduction in average equity AUM. Securities lending fees were $157 million in second quarter 2012 compared with $134 million in second quarter 2011.

 

•

Performance fees were $41 million in second quarter 2012 compared with $50 million in second quarter 2011, primarily reflecting lower performance fees from equity products.

 

•

BlackRock Solutions and advisory revenue totaled $131 million in second quarter 2012 compared with $116 million in second quarter 2011, primarily reflecting higher revenue from additional Aladdin mandates.

 

•

Distribution fees of $20 million in second quarter 2012 decreased $7 million from $27 million in second quarter 2011, primarily resulting from lower sales and AUM in certain share classes of open-end retail funds.

 

•

Other revenue decreased $7 million, largely reflecting lower sales commissions.

Second quarter 2012 total operating expenses of $1.4 billion decreased $81 million from second quarter 2011. Operating expenses, as adjusted, decreased $67 million. See notes (a) through (f) in Attachment I for more information on as adjusted items and the reconciliation to GAAP. Results were driven by the following:

 

•

Employee compensation and benefits decreased $38 million, driven by lower incentive compensation related to market effects.

 

•

Distribution and servicing costs decreased $7 million, driven by lower average AUM.

 

•

Amortization of deferred sales commissions decreased $7 million, primarily related to lower sales of certain share classes of open-end funds.

 

•

Direct fund expenses decreased $9 million, reflecting a decrease in average AUM where BlackRock pays certain non-advisory expenses of the funds.

 

•

General and administration expenses decreased $21 million, primarily related to lower occupancy costs, favorable effects from foreign currency remeasurements and lower professional expenses. The decrease was partially offset by higher marketing and promotional expenses in connection with the brand campaign launched in first quarter 2012.

Non-operating income (expense): Second quarter 2012 non-operating expense, net of non-controlling interests, was $46 million compared with $27 million in second quarter 2011. Second quarter 2012 included $2 million of net negative marks, primarily on private equity fund co-investments, and $44 million of net interest expense. Net interest expense increased $7 million from second quarter 2011, primarily due to long-term debt issuances in May 2011 and May 2012.

Income tax expense: Income tax expense totaled $229 million and $220 million for second quarter 2012 and 2011, respectively. The GAAP effective income tax rate for the second quarter 2012 was 29.3% compared with 26.2% for the second quarter 2011. The second quarter 2011 GAAP tax rate included a $52 million non-cash benefit due to enacted state tax legislation. The as adjusted effective income tax rate was 29.3% and 32.4% for second quarter 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Operating income: Second quarter 2012 operating income was $829 million compared with $815 million in first quarter 2012. Operating income, as adjusted, was $832 million compared with $825 million in first quarter 2012.

Second quarter 2012 revenue decreased $20 million from first quarter 2012, primarily due to the following:

 

•

Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue in second quarter 2012 increased $13 million from first quarter 2012, driven by seasonally higher securities lending fees, partially offset by market-driven effects on average equity AUM. Securities lending fees were $157 million in second quarter 2012 compared with $111 million in first quarter 2012.

 

•

Performance fees were $41 million in second quarter 2012 compared with $80 million in first quarter 2012. The current quarter reflected lower performance fees from alternative and equity products.

 

•

BlackRock Solutions and advisory revenue of $131 million in second quarter 2012 increased from $123 million in first quarter 2012, primarily reflecting higher revenue from additional Aladdin mandates and higher one-time revenues from advisory assignments in second quarter 2012.

Second quarter 2012 total operating expenses of $1.4 billion decreased $34 million from first quarter 2012. Operating expenses, as adjusted, decreased $27 million. See notes (a) through (f) in Attachment I for more information on as adjusted items and the reconciliation to GAAP. Results were driven by the following:

 

•

Employee compensation and benefits decreased $39 million, primarily reflecting lower payroll taxes and lower incentive compensation due to market-driven effects.

 

•

Direct fund expenses decreased $8 million related to funds where BlackRock pays certain non-advisory expenses.

 

•

General and administration expenses increased $17 million, primarily related to higher marketing and promotional expenses in connection with the previously mentioned brand campaign.

Non-operating income (expense): Second quarter 2012 non-operating expense, net of non-controlling interests, was $46 million compared with $20 million non-operating income in first quarter 2012. Second quarter 2012 included $2 million of net negative marks primarily on private equity fund co-investments and $44 million of net interest expense. Net interest expense increased $4 million from first quarter 2012, primarily due to $1.5 billion of long-term debt issuances in May 2012.

Income tax expense: Income tax expense of $229 million for second quarter 2012 decreased $34 million from first quarter 2012. The GAAP effective income tax rate for the second quarter 2012 was 29.3% compared with 31.5% for the first quarter 2012.

BlackRock, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Supplemental Information

(unaudited)

BlackRock reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”); however, management believes evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP basis financial measures. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and, for the reasons described below, considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of BlackRock’s financial performance over time. BlackRock’s management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Computations for all periods are derived from the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income as follows:

(a) Operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted:

Operating income, as adjusted, equals operating income, GAAP basis, excluding certain items management deems non-recurring, or transactions that ultimately will not impact BlackRock’s book value, as indicated in the table below. Operating income used for operating margin measurement equals operating income, as adjusted, excluding the impact of closed-end fund launch costs and commissions. Operating margin, as adjusted, equals operating income used for operating margin measurement, divided by revenue used for operating margin measurement, as indicated in the table below.

Management believes operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, are effective indicators of BlackRock’s financial performance over time and, therefore, provide useful disclosure to investors.

(a) (continued)

Operating income, as adjusted:

The portion of compensation expense associated with certain long-term incentive plans (“LTIP”) that has been or will be funded through distributions to participants of shares of BlackRock stock held by The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and a Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) cash compensation contribution, all of which has been received as of first quarter 2012, has been excluded because these charges ultimately do not impact BlackRock’s book value. The expense related to the Merrill Lynch cash compensation contribution ceased at the end of the third quarter 2011.

Compensation expense associated with appreciation (depreciation) on investments related to certain BlackRock deferred compensation plans has been excluded as returns on investments set aside for these plans, which substantially offset this expense, are reported in non-operating income (expense).

Management believes operating income exclusive of these costs is a useful measure in evaluating BlackRock’s operating performance and helps enhance the comparability of this information for the reporting periods presented.

Operating margin, as adjusted:

Operating income used for measuring operating margin, as adjusted, is equal to operating income, as adjusted, excluding the impact of closed-end fund launch costs and commissions. Management believes the exclusion of such costs and commissions is useful because these costs can fluctuate considerably and revenues associated with the expenditure of these costs will not fully impact BlackRock’s results until future periods.

Operating margin, as adjusted, allows BlackRock to compare performance from period-to-period by adjusting for items that may not recur, recur infrequently or may have an economic offset in non-operating income. Examples of such adjustments include closed-end fund launch costs, commissions paid to certain employees as compensation and fluctuations in compensation expense based on mark-to-market movements in investments held to fund certain compensation plans. BlackRock also uses operating margin, as adjusted, to monitor corporate performance and efficiency and as a benchmark to compare its performance with other companies. Management uses both the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the financial performance of BlackRock. The non-GAAP measure by itself may pose limitations because it does not include all of BlackRock’s revenues and expenses.

Revenue used for operating margin, as adjusted, excludes distribution and servicing costs paid to related parties and other third parties. Management believes the exclusion of such costs is useful because it creates consistency in the treatment for certain contracts for similar services, which due to the terms of the contracts, are accounted for under GAAP on a net basis within investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue. Amortization of deferred sales commissions is excluded from revenue used for operating margin measurement, as adjusted, because such costs, over time, substantially offset distribution fee revenue earned by the Company. For each of these items, BlackRock excludes from revenue used for operating margin, as adjusted, the costs related to each of these items as a proxy for such offsetting revenues.

(b) Non-operating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, as adjusted:

Non-operating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests (“NCI”), as adjusted, is presented below. The compensation expense offset is recorded in operating income. This compensation expense has been included in non-operating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, to offset returns on investments set aside for these plans, which are reported in non-operating income (expense), GAAP basis.

(1)	Net of net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests.

Management believes non-operating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, provides comparability of this information among reporting periods and is an effective measure for reviewing BlackRock’s non-operating contribution to its results. As compensation expense associated with (appreciation) depreciation on investments related to certain deferred compensation plans, which is included in operating income, substantially offsets the gain (loss) on the investments set aside for these plans, management believes non-operating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, provides a useful measure, for both management and investors, of BlackRock’s non-operating results that impact book value.

(c) Net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted:

Management believes net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, and diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, are useful measures of BlackRock’s profitability and financial performance. Net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, equals net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., GAAP basis, adjusted for significant non-recurring items, charges that ultimately will not impact BlackRock’s book value or certain tax items that do not impact cash flow.

See note (a) Operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, for information on PNC LTIP funding obligation and Merrill Lynch compensation contribution.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, adjustments primarily related to state income tax law changes that resulted in the re-measurement of certain net deferred income tax liabilities, primarily related to acquired indefinite intangible assets. The resulting increase or decrease in income taxes has been excluded from net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, as these items will not have a cash flow impact and to ensure comparability for periods presented.

(d) For the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and March 31, 2012, non-GAAP adjustments were tax effected at 30.4%, 32.4% and 31.5%, respectively, reflecting a blended rate applicable to the adjustments. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, non-GAAP adjustments were tax effected at 31.0%, and 32.7%, respectively.

(e) Amounts exclude net income attributable to participating securities (see below).

(f) Non-voting participating preferred shares are considered to be common stock equivalents for purposes of determining basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. In addition, certain unvested restricted stock units are not included in this number as they are deemed participating securities in accordance with required provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 260-10, Earnings per Share. For the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and March 31, 2012 average outstanding participating securities were 0.2 million, 2.2 million and 0.2 million, respectively.
