BlackRock Reports Quarterly Diluted EPS of $4.21, or $3.88 as adjusted

$4.096 Trillion in assets under management at September 30, 2013, up 12% year-over-year

 

    $25.3 billion of long-term net inflows driven by Retail and iShares®

 

    7% revenue growth from the third quarter 2012

 

    22% growth in BlackRock Solutions® revenues

 

    10% operating income growth, or 12% as adjusted, with continued margin expansion

 

    Consistent capital management with $250 million of quarterly share repurchases

New York, October 16, 2013 — BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK) today reported third quarter 2013 diluted EPS of $4.21, up 15% from a year ago. Revenue increased 7% from the third quarter 2012, reflecting growth in markets, long-term net inflows and strength in BlackRock Solutions. Operating income for the third quarter 2013 was $966 million with an operating margin of 39.1%.

As adjusted results(1): Third quarter 2013 diluted EPS of $3.88 and operating income of $978 million both rose 12% compared with the third quarter 2012. Third quarter 2012 included $25 million of closed-end fund launch costs. Diluted EPS included operating income of $3.96 per diluted share and net nonoperating expense of $0.08 per diluted share. Operating margin of 41.2% in the third quarter 2013 rose 50 bps from the third quarter 2012. Compared with the second quarter 2013, operating margin and diluted EPS declined 10 bps and $0.27, respectively, reflecting seasonally lower securities lending fees, partially offset by strength in base fees and BlackRock Solutions revenue. The decline in diluted EPS compared with second quarter 2013 also reflected the $39 million noncash, pre-tax nonoperating gain related to the PennyMac IPO recorded in the second quarter 2013.

“Our solid third quarter 2013 results are continued evidence of the benefits of our broad, diversified investment platform and strong investment performance,” commented Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock. “Long-term net inflows of more than $25 billion reflected positive flows across all major asset classes and geographies, driven by demand for outcome-oriented solutions, unconstrained fixed income and retail alternative strategies. We are seeing the steps we have taken to further enhance performance and invest in our brand drive accelerating growth in retail flows. Our Global Retail business added $8.3 billion of long-term net inflows in the quarter and more than $22 billion thus far in 2013, driving 7% year-to-date annualized organic growth, up from 3% growth for full year 2012. Our iShares ETFs also saw strong net inflows as liquidity-oriented investors turned to iShares once again to increase exposure during the quarter, and as buy-and-hold investors continued to access our Core Series product suite, which has attracted $9 billion of inflows year to date.”

“The current investment environment presents a wide range of challenges for our clients. Fundamentals continue to be outweighed by policy decisions and global growth is dictated more by central bankers and elected officials than business leaders. This uncertainty is keeping many investors on the sidelines, at exactly the time they need to be investing to plan for their futures, and in the face of these unknowns, clients are turning to BlackRock to provide solutions.

“Longevity and the ensuing need for sufficient retirement savings remains one of the most important investment challenges facing clients. Corporate pension plans are underfunded and individual investors are not prepared for retirement. We continue to partner with providers of defined contribution plans to provide advice and outcome-oriented solutions such as our LifePath® target-date portfolios, which gathered more than $3 billion of assets this quarter.

“In the current low, volatile rate environment, yield-starved investors are becoming more aware of the risk in their fixed income portfolios and pursuing solutions to shorten duration while continuing to earn income. While the industry continues to see sizable fixed income redemptions, BlackRock once again experienced net inflows, driven by strong performance across the platform and our best-in-class nontraditional fixed income offerings. We have spent the past several quarters advising our clients on the benefits of unconstrained fixed income, and our flagship fund, the Strategic Income Opportunities Fund, gathered more than $1 billion of assets for the third straight quarter.

“While crossing the $4 trillion asset threshold was another milestone in our growth story, it only encourages us to continue pursuing the many opportunities we have to grow in the future, as we deliver the full value of our diverse platform, solutions-oriented investment culture and leading risk management capabilities to our clients regardless of market conditions.”

Long-term net inflows were positive across all regions, with net inflows of $23.1 billion, $1.8 billion and $0.4 billion from clients in the Americas (defined as the United States, Caribbean, Canada, Latin America and Iberia), EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. At September 30, 2013, BlackRock managed 61% of long-term AUM for investors in the Americas and 39% for international clients.

    Retail global long-term net inflows of $8.3 billion included net inflows of $3.4 billion in the United States and $4.5 billion in EMEA. Long-term net inflows were diversified across all asset classes, led by multi-asset class net inflows of $2.9 billion with particular demand for the flagship Multi-asset Income and Global Allocation funds. Fixed income long-term net inflows of $2.3 billion reflected strong interest in unconstrained fixed income offerings and equity net inflows of $1.2 billion were driven by flows into the European equities suite. Alternative mutual funds generated over $1 billion in net inflows for the second straight quarter, paced by the Global Long/Short Credit fund.

 

    iShares long-term net inflows of $20.2 billion included U.S. and European iShares net inflows of $16.4 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively. Renewed appetite for emerging markets and broad market European equity exposure in the latter part of the quarter drove equity net inflows of $21.1 billion, partially offset by fixed income net outflows of $1.5 billion. The Core Series generated $2.0 billion of net inflows, concentrated in U.S. equity.

 

    Institutional active long-term net inflows of $0.1 billion reflected strong flows of $4.9 billion and $2.2 billion into fixed income and multi-asset class products, respectively, largely offset by equity and active currency net outflows of $6.1 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively. Multi-asset class flows were driven by continued demand for the LifePath target-date suite, which had net inflows of $3.0 billion.

 

    Institutional index long-term net outflows of $3.4 billion were due to equity net outflows of $4.9 billion, primarily from U.S. equities. Equity net outflows were partially offset by fixed income net inflows of $1.8 billion, largely into global bond and short or intermediate duration mandates.

Cash management AUM increased 3%, or $7.5 billion, to $260.1 billion.

Advisory AUM decreased 4% to $38.5 billion due to planned portfolio liquidations.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

Comparison of the Third Quarter 2013 with the Third Quarter 2012 GAAP Results

Operating income: Operating income was $966 million compared with $875 million in the prior year. Third quarter 2012 included closed-end fund launch costs of $25 million.

Revenue of $2.5 billion increased $152 million from $2.3 billion in the prior year, primarily due to the following:

 

    Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue of $2.2 billion increased $129 million from the prior year due to growth in long-term average AUM. Securities lending fees were $99 million in the current quarter and $129 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in securities lending fees was driven primarily by lower spreads consistent with industry trends.

 

    BlackRock Solutions and advisory revenue totaled $156 million in the current quarter compared with $128 million in the third quarter 2012. The current quarter reflected an $18 million increase in Aladdin® business revenues to $112 million and higher advisory assignments revenue.

 

-3-


Total operating expenses of $1.5 billion increased $61 million from the prior year, primarily due to the following:

 

    Employee compensation and benefits increased $38 million, reflecting higher headcount and higher incentive compensation driven by higher operating income.

 

    Direct fund expenses increased $23 million, reflecting higher average AUM where BlackRock pays certain nonadvisory expenses of the funds primarily linked to the use of certain index trademarks, reference data for certain indices, custodial services, fund administration and fund accounting.

 

    General and administration expenses of $334 million reflected higher marketing and promotional costs than the prior year quarter. The third quarter 2012 included fund launch costs of $22 million (excluding $3 million included in employee compensation and benefits expense).

Nonoperating income (expense): Nonoperating expense, net of noncontrolling interests, in the third quarter 2013 was $17 million, which reflected lower net positive marks compared with the prior year quarter.

Income tax expense: Income tax expense totaled $219 million for the third quarter 2013 and $250 million for the third quarter 2012. The GAAP effective income tax rate was 23.1% compared with 28.1% for the prior year quarter. The GAAP tax rate included a $64 million net noncash benefit for the third quarter 2013 and a $30 million net noncash benefit for the third quarter 2012. The net noncash benefits for both periods primarily related to the revaluation of certain deferred income tax liabilities, including tax legislation enacted in the United Kingdom and domestic state tax law changes. The as adjusted effective income tax rate was 29.9% for the third quarter 2013 and 31.4% for the third quarter 2012.

Comparison of the Third Quarter 2013 with the Second Quarter 2013 GAAP Results

Operating income: Operating income was $966 million compared with $849 million in the prior quarter. In the prior quarter, subsequent to an initial public offering of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (the “PennyMac IPO”), the Company made a charitable contribution of approximately six million units of its equity method investment with a fair value of $124 million to a new donor advised fund (the “Charitable Contribution”). In connection with the Charitable Contribution, the Company also recorded a noncash, nonoperating pre-tax gain of $80 million related to the contributed investment. For further information, see the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Revenue of $2.5 billion decreased $10 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to the following:

 

    Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue of $2.2 billion decreased $24 million from the prior quarter impacted by seasonally lower securities lending fees, product mix and the effect of one additional revenue day in the quarter. Securities lending fees were $99 million and $136 million in the third quarter and second quarter, respectively. Lower seasonal demand drove the decrease in securities lending fees.

 

    BlackRock Solutions and advisory revenue totaled $156 million in the current quarter compared with $138 million in the second quarter. The current quarter reflected a $14 million increase in Aladdin business revenues to $112 million and higher advisory assignments revenue.

 

    Other revenue of $48 million decreased $12 million, largely reflecting lower earnings from certain investments and lower transition management service fees.

Total operating expenses of $1.5 billion decreased $127 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to the following:

 

    General and administration expenses decreased $131 million, primarily due to the $124 million expense related to the Charitable Contribution recorded in the prior quarter. The current quarter also included lower marketing and promotional costs.

Nonoperating income (expense): Nonoperating expense, net of noncontrolling interests, was $17 million compared with $92 million of nonoperating income in the second quarter. The prior quarter included the $80 million gain related to the Charitable Contribution and a $39 million gain related to the PennyMac IPO.

 

-4-


Income tax expense: Income tax expense totaled $219 million for the third quarter 2013 and $212 million for the second quarter 2013. The GAAP effective income tax rate was 23.1% compared with 22.5% for the second quarter. The third quarter 2013 GAAP tax rate includes a $64 million net noncash benefit primarily related to the revaluation of certain deferred income tax liabilities, including tax legislation enacted in the United Kingdom and domestic state tax law changes. The prior quarter included an approximately $57 million tax benefit recognized in connection with the Charitable Contribution and a tax benefit of approximately $29 million, primarily due to the realization of loss carryforwards.

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 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 nonrecurring or transactions that ultimately will not impact BlackRock’s book value, 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Supplemental Information (unaudited)

(a) (continued)

 

    Operating income, as adjusted, includes non-GAAP expense adjustments. In third quarter 2012, non-GAAP adjustments included U.K. lease exit costs incurred in third quarter 2012 that represent an adjustment related to the costs initially recorded in third quarter 2011 related to costs to exit two locations in London. During the second quarter 2013 and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the $124 million expense related to the Charitable Contribution has been excluded from operating income, as adjusted, due to its nonrecurring nature and because the noncash, nonoperating pre-tax gain of $80 million related to the contributed PennyMac investment is reported in nonoperating income (expense). The portion of compensation expense associated with certain long-term incentive plans (“LTIP”) funded, or to be funded, through share distributions to participants of BlackRock stock held by PNC has been excluded because it ultimately does not impact BlackRock’s book value. 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 nonoperating income (expense).

Management believes operating income exclusive of these items 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, 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 nonoperating income (expense). 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 GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating BlackRock’s financial performance. The non-GAAP measure by itself may pose limitations because it does not include all of BlackRock’s revenues and expenses.

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 related commissions. Management believes the exclusion of such costs and related 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.

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 the Company earns. 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) Nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, as adjusted, is presented below. The compensation expense offset is recorded in operating income. This compensation expense has been included in nonoperating 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 nonoperating income (expense), GAAP basis.

Management believes nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, provides comparability of information among reporting periods and is an effective measure for reviewing BlackRock’s nonoperating contribution to 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 nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, provides a useful measure, for both management and investors, of BlackRock’s nonoperating results that impact book value. During the second quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the noncash, nonoperating pre-tax gain of $80 million related to the contributed PennyMac investment has been excluded from nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted due to its nonrecurring nature and because the more than offsetting associated Charitable Contribution expense of $124 million is reported in operating income.

The quarter ended June 30, 2013 and nine months ended September 30, 2013 included a tax benefit of approximately $57 million recognized in connection with the Charitable Contribution. The tax benefit has been excluded from net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted due to the nonrecurring nature of the Charitable Contribution. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 reflected adjustments related to the revaluation of certain deferred income tax liabilities, including tax legislation enacted in the United Kingdom and domestic state tax law changes. The resulting 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 among periods presented.

Performance Notes

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The performance information shown is based on preliminarily available data. The performance information for actively managed accounts shown reflects U.S. open-end and closed-end mutual funds and similar EMEA-based products with respect to peer median comparisons, and actively managed institutional and high net worth separate accounts and funds located globally with respect to benchmark comparisons, as determined using objectively based internal parameters, using the most current verified information available as of September 30, 2013 (August 31, 2013 for high net worth accounts).

Accounts terminated prior to September 30, 2013 are not included. In addition, accounts that have not been verified as of October 11, 2013 have not been included. If such terminated and other accounts had been included, the performance information may have substantially differed from that shown. The performance information does not include funds or accounts that are not measured against a benchmark, any benchmark-based alternatives product, private equity products, CDOs, or accounts managed by BlackRock’s Financial Markets Advisory Group. Comparisons are based on gross-of-fee performance for U.S. retail, institutional and high net worth separate accounts and EMEA institutional separate accounts and net-of-fee performance for EMEA based retail products. The performance tracking information for institutional index accounts is based on gross-of-fee performance as of September 30, 2013, and includes all institutional accounts and all iShares funds globally using an index strategy. AUM information is based on AUM for each account or fund in the asset class shown without adjustment for overlapping management of the same account or fund as of September 30, 2013.

Source of performance information and peer medians is BlackRock, Inc. and is based in part on data from Lipper Inc. for U.S. funds and Morningstar, Inc. for non-U.S. funds. Fund performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and distributions, but does not reflect sales charges.
