•	Q2 2020 earnings per diluted share of $0.80 compared to $0.62 for Q2 2019


•	Managed assets reach a record $628.8 billion


•	Board declares $0.27 per share quarterly dividend

(PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 30, 2020) — Federated Hermes, Inc. (NYSE: FHI), a leading global, active, responsible investment manager, today reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.80 for Q2 2020, compared to $0.62 for the same quarter last year, on net income of $81.2 million for Q2 2020, compared to $62.7 million for Q2 2019. Federated Hermes reported YTD 2020 EPS of $1.44, compared to $1.16 for the same period in 2019, on YTD 2020 net income of $145.4 million, compared to $117.3 million for the same period in 2019.

Federated Hermes' total managed assets were a record $628.8 billion at June 30, 2020, up $126.6 billion or 25% from $502.2 billion at June 30, 2019 and up $23.0 billion or 4% from $605.8 billion at March 31, 2020. Total average managed assets for Q2 2020 were $636.9 billion, up $143.6 billion or 29% from $493.3 billion reported for Q2 2019 and up $56.7 billion or 10% from $580.2 billion reported for Q1 2020.

"While the economy continued to be challenged by the coronavirus in the second quarter, investors sought haven in a range of Federated Hermes investment strategies that offered diversification, performance and competitive yields," said J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer. "Federated Hermes' high-yield and multi-sector fixed-income strategies saw strong sales, leading to record fixed-income assets under management of $73.1 billion at quarter end. Money market assets under management also reached an all-time high of $457.6 billion."

Federated Hermes' board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share. The dividend is payable on Aug. 14, 2020 to shareholders of record as of Aug. 7, 2020. During Q2 2020, Federated Hermes purchased 843,416 shares of Federated Hermes class B common stock for $18.1 million.

Equity assets were $76.9 billion at June 30, 2020, down $5.1 billion or 6% from $82.0 billion at June 30, 2019 and up $8.7 billion or 13% from $68.2 billion at March 31, 2020. The decrease from Q2 2019 was primarily due to net redemptions and market depreciation partially offset by acquisitions, while the increase from the prior quarter largely resulted from a partial recovery in the market value of investments following the impact of the coronavirus. Top-selling equity funds during Q2 2020 on a net basis were Federated Hermes Kaufmann Small Cap Fund, Federated Hermes Global Equity ESG Fund, Federated Hermes Global Small Cap Equity Fund, Federated Hermes MDT All Cap Core Fund and Federated Hermes SDG Engagement Equity Fund (UCITS).

Fixed-income assets were a record $73.1 billion at June 30, 2020, up $8.0 billion or 12% from $65.1 billion at June 30, 2019 and up $8.4 billion or 13% from $64.7 billion at March 31, 2020. Top-selling fixed-income funds during Q2 2020 on a net basis were Federated Hermes Institutional High Yield Bond Fund, Federated Hermes Short-Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund, Federated Hermes Total Return Bond Fund, Federated Hermes Sterling Cash Plus Fund and Federated Hermes Ultrashort Bond Fund.

Money market assets were a record $457.6 billion at June 30, 2020, up $124.5 billion or 37% from $333.1 billion at June 30, 2019 and up $6.3 billion or 1% from $451.3 billion at March 31, 2020.

Financial Summary

Q2 2020 vs. Q2 2019

Revenue increased $39.2 million or 12% primarily due to higher average money market assets, an increase in revenue from alternative/private markets primarily due to the revenue of a previously nonconsolidated entity being recorded in operating revenue beginning March 2020 and higher performance fees. These increases in revenue were partially offset by 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 a decrease in revenue due to lower average equity assets. See additional information about voluntary yield-related fee waivers in the paragraph at the end of this financial summary.

During Q2 2020, Federated Hermes derived 55% of its revenue from long-term assets (34% from equity assets, 12% from fixed-income assets and 9% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 44% from money market assets and 1% from sources other than managed assets.

Operating expenses increased $26.9 million or 11% primarily due to increased incentive compensation and increased distribution expenses associated with higher average money market fund assets. The distribution expenses include a reduction resulting from voluntary yield–related fee waivers.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased $14.7 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of investments, which significantly recovered from the Q1 2020 coronavirus impact on the markets.

Q2 2020 vs. Q1 2020

Revenue increased $1.5 million primarily due to higher average money market assets, an increase in revenue from alternative/private markets primarily due to the revenue of a previously nonconsolidated entity being recorded in operating revenue beginning March 2020 and higher performance fees. These increases were partially offset by an increase in voluntary yield-related fee waivers and lower average equity assets.

Operating expenses decreased $3.0 million or 1% primarily due to decreased distribution expenses resulting from higher voluntary yield–related fee waivers on certain money market fund assets offset by increased incentive compensation.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased $21.1 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of investments, which significantly recovered from the Q1 2020 coronavirus impact on the markets. This increase was partially offset by a gain from a fair value adjustment to the equity investment of a previously nonconsolidated entity reported in Q1 2020.

YTD 2020 vs. YTD 2019

Revenue increased $91.4 million or 15% primarily due to higher average money market assets, revenue of a previously nonconsolidated entity being recorded in operating revenue beginning March 2020 and an increase in performance fees. These increases were partially offset by voluntary yield-related fee waivers.

For the first half of 2020, Federated derived 56% of its revenue from long-term assets (36% from equity assets, 13% from fixed-income assets and 7% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 43% from money market assets and 1% from sources other than managed assets.



Federated Hermes Reports Q2 2020 Earnings		Page 3 of 13

Operating expenses increased $57.2 million or 12% primarily due to increased incentive compensation and an increase in distribution expenses associated with higher average money market fund assets. These increases were partially offset by voluntary yield–related fee waivers.

Nonoperating (expenses) income, net increased $6.0 million primarily due to a gain from a fair value adjustment to the equity investment of a previously nonconsolidated entity.

Impact of voluntary yield-related fee waivers

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, voluntary yield-related fee waivers totaled $20.0 million and $20.4 million, respectively. These fee waivers were partially offset by related reductions in distribution expenses of $18.0 million and

$18.3 million, respectively, such that the net negative pre-tax impact to Federated Hermes was $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Federated Hermes' 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 and mix, product sales and redemptions, market appreciation or depreciation, revenues, fee waivers, expenses and regulatory changes, can significantly impact Federated Hermes' business activity levels and financial results. Risk factors and uncertainties that can influence Federated Hermes' financial results are discussed in the company's annual and quarterly reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
