Page 2 of 11


Federated's money market assets were $256.4 billion at Dec. 31, 2015, down $2.4 billion or 1 percent from $258.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2014 and up $9.5 billion or 4 percent from $246.9 billion at Sept. 30, 2015. Money market mutual fund assets were $221.6 billion at Dec. 31, 2015, down $3.9 billion or 2 percent from $225.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2014 and up $5.3 billion or 2 percent from $216.3 billion at Sept. 30, 2015.
Financial Summary
Q4 2015 vs. Q4 2014
Revenue increased by $25.8 million or 12 percent primarily due to a decrease in voluntary fee waivers related to certain money market funds in order for those funds to maintain positive or zero net yields (voluntary yield-related fee waivers) and an increase in revenue from higher average equity assets. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from lower average fixed-income assets. See additional information about voluntary yield-related fee waivers in the table at the end of this financial summary.
During Q4 2015, Federated derived 62 percent of its revenue from equity and fixed-income assets (43 percent from equity assets and 19 percent from fixed-income assets) and 38 percent from money market assets.
Operating expenses increased by $10.5 million or 7 percent primarily due to an increase in distribution expenses as a result of a decrease in voluntary yield-related fee waivers.
Q4 2015 vs. Q3 2015
Revenue increased by $9.3 million or 4 percent primarily due to a decrease in voluntary yield-related fee waivers.
Operating expenses increased by $6.7 million or 4 percent primarily due to an increase in distribution expenses as a result of a decrease in voluntary yield-related fee waivers.
Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased by $4.6 million primarily due to an increase in net investment income resulting mainly from a decrease in losses on investments in Q4 2015 as compared to Q3 2015, as well as capital gain distributions received from fund investments in Q4 2015.
2015 vs. 2014
Revenue increased by $67.4 million or 8 percent primarily due to a decrease in voluntary yield-related fee waivers and an increase in revenue from higher average equity assets. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from lower average money market assets.
During 2015, Federated derived 67 percent of its revenue from equity and fixed-income assets (46 percent from equity assets and 21 percent from fixed-income assets) and 33 percent from money market assets.
Operating expenses increased by $25.9 million or 4 percent primarily due to an increase in distribution expenses as a result of a decrease in voluntary yield-related fee waivers and an increase in average equity assets. The increase was partially offset by decreased distribution expenses attributable to lower average money market assets.
Nonoperating (expenses) income, net decreased by $5.9 million primarily due to a decrease in net investment income resulting from an increase in losses on investments in 2015 compared to investment gains realized in 2014, partially offset by a decrease in debt expense primarily due to a lower average interest rate on Federated’s term loan.

Federated's level of business activity and financial results are dependent upon many factors including market conditions, investment performance and investor behavior. These factors and others, including asset levels, product sales and redemptions, market appreciation or depreciation, revenues, fee waivers, expenses and regulatory changes, can significantly impact Federated's business activity levels and financial results. Risk factors and uncertainties that can influence Federated's financial results are discussed in the company's annual and quarterly reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Voluntary yield-related fee waivers and the resulting negative impact of these waivers could vary significantly in the future as they are contingent on a number of variables including, but not limited to, changes in assets within the money market funds, yields on instruments available for purchase by the money market funds, actions by the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the SEC, the Financial Stability Oversight Council and other governmental entities, changes in fees and expenses of the money market funds, changes in the mix of money market customer assets, changes in customer relationships, changes in the money market product structures and offerings, demand for competing products, changes in distribution models, changes in the distribution fee arrangements with third parties, Federated’s willingness to continue the fee waivers and changes in the extent to which the impact of the waivers is shared by third parties.
