Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain financial information and accompanying note disclosure normally included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2017March 31, 2018, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 20162017, and cash flows for the sixthree-month periods ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 20162017. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017.
There have been no significant changes in significant accounting policies duringThe Company adopted the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 with the exception of the adoptionrequirements of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09). As required by ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits recognized on stock-based compensation expense are reflected inNo. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 (ASC 606)) using the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component ofmodified retrospective method during the provision for income taxes on a prospective basis (See Note 11). Additionally, excess tax benefits or deficiencies recognized on stock-based compensation expense are classified as an operating activity in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company has applied this provision retrospectively for the periods prior to the date of adoption.three months ended March 31, 2018. As a result of the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $14,402 to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Prior period information has not been restated (see following caption "Revenue Recognition"). The Company also adopted ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (see Note 6) and ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash (Topic 230) (see following caption "Statements of Cash Flows"). All amounts and disclosures set forth in this Form 10-Q have been updated to comply with the new standards.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the transfer of control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those promised goods or services. Certain portions of the Company’s revenues involve a third party in providing goods or services to its customers. In such circumstances, the Company must determine whether the nature of its promise to the customer is to provide the underlying goods or services (the Company is the principal in the transaction and reports the transaction gross) or to arrange for a third party to provide the underlying goods or services (the entity is the agent in the transaction and reports the transaction net).
ASC 606 did not change the accounting for the six months ended June 30, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $4,004 withmajority of the Company’s revenue arrangements and did not have a corresponding offset to net cash used for financing activities.
ASU 2016-09 also allows for the option to account for forfeitures as they occur when determining the amount of compensation cost to be recognized, rather than estimating expected forfeitures over the course of a vesting period. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. In addition, ASU 2016-09 eliminates anticipated windfalls and shortfalls that were included in the calculation of assumed proceeds for computing the dilutive effect of share-based payment awards in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. No adjustmentsmaterial impact to the Company's prior period reported diluted earnings per share amounts were permitted by ASU 2016-09.

7 of 38



The majority of the Company’s services are bundled together, and provided and completed for the client on a monthly basis. For these revenue arrangements, the Company will continue to recognize revenue on a monthly basis as the client consumes the benefits continuously over time. The timing and recognition of revenues from these arrangements did not change.
Contracts with new clients or with existing clients for new services generally include implementation fees. These fees are recognized in Information processing and software servicing fees when in connection with investment processing platforms and are recognized in Asset management, administration and distribution fees when in connection with investment operations platforms. The Company concluded that most of the current arrangements for implementation services are a distinct and separate performance obligation from the monthly recurring services. The timing and recognition of fees for most of these arrangements have not changed. However, each new revenue arrangement for implementation fees is analyzed to determine whether or not it is a distinct performance obligation. Implementation fees determined not to be a distinct performance obligation would be required to be recognized over the expected life of the client relationship along with the costs relating directly to satisfying such performance obligation. The Company will evaluate each contract in accordance with the requirements of ASC 606.
Research services provided by SIDCO, the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary, to customers in soft-dollar arrangements were determined to be a separate performance obligation. Research services provided by a broker-dealer may be internally generated or provided by a third party and paid directly by the broker-dealer on the customer’s behalf. It was determined that SIDCO is considered an increaseagent since it does not control the research services before they are transferred to paid-in capitalthe customer. Therefore, fees received for research services should be recorded in revenues net of $2,582,amounts paid for the soft dollar arrangement. These amounts paid by the Company were previously recorded gross as an expense and, beginning January 1, 2018, are recorded net of any revenue recognized. The amounts related to soft dollar arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $3,730 and $4,073, respectively.
Incremental contract acquisition costs related to information processing contracts in the Private Banks segment and investment operations contracts in the Investment Managers segment will be deferred and recognized over the expected client life. These costs primarily consist of sales compensation payments to the Company's sales personnel. As a reductionresult, incremental contract acquisition costs are capitalized and subsequently amortized. The Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings associated with the capitalization of $1,669 and an increasecontract costs. For the Company's other sales compensation payments, the Company either applies the practical expedient permitting the expensing of costs to obtain a contract when the expected amortization period is one year or less or there are no contract acquisition costs required to be deferred tax assetsunder the requirements of $913 as of January 1, 2017.

These options for the three and six month periods were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because either the performance conditions have not been satisfied or would have been satisfied if the reporting date was the end of the contingency period or the option’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock and the effect on diluted earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The updated standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The FASB has issued several amendments to the standard, including principal versus agent guidance and identifying performance obligations. ASU 2014-09 will become effective for the Company during the first quarter 2018.
The Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its revenue arrangements. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have an impact to its business processes, financial reporting disclosures and internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR).
As part of its project plan’s preliminary assessment and design implementation phases for the adoption of ASU 2014-09, the Company has adopted implementation controls that allows it to properly and timely adopt ASU 2014-09 on the effective date. The Company will make continuous updates to the quarterly and year-end disclosures, with a focus on both status and

8 of 39



internal controls over financial reporting. The new standard will have a significant impact to the Company's financial statement disclosures, including identifying information that the Company will have to develop under the new standard.
The Company’s implementation plan includes the following:
Developed a phased implementation project plan with a specific timeline and milestones;
Developed an understanding of the new standard and its requirements;
Analyzed the Company’s revenue streams;
Gathering and evaluating the required and relevant information for ASU 2014-09; and
Continue to monitor the impact of ASU 2014-09 and the various interpretations and supplemental guidance that become available.
Upon its initial assessment, the Company has made the following observations:
Revenue:
The Company offers many services which are bundled together, and provided and completed for the client on a monthly basis. In assessing these contracts, the Company expects to continue to recognize revenue for these types of services on a monthly basis as the client consumes the benefits continuously over time. Similarly, the Company expects that transaction-based and trade execution fees based on current period activity will not be affected by the adoption of ASU 2014-09.
The Company continues to assess the effect of the adoption of the new standard on the timing of the recognition of implementation fees, which are recognized in Information processing and software servicing fees as well as fund conversion fees and other ancillary fees recognized in Asset management, administration and distribution fees. While the Company has not made a final determination, the timing of the recognition for these revenues may change.
The new standard also modified some of the principal and agent considerations which may result in changes to gross or net treatment of revenue and expenses but would not affect final net income.
Contract costs:
The Company is in the process of evaluating the costs of obtaining these contracts, especially for the information processing and software servicing fees revenue stream, which are affected by the standard. Sales commissions and contract costs related to fund conversions are also being evaluated. Under current guidance, contract costs are expensed at inception of an agreement but under the new standard, the costs will generally be capitalized and amortized over the period of customer life as defined in the new standard, unless a practical expedient is applied to fully expense contract costs for contracts with an amortization period of one year or less.
Transition method:
The new standard provides companies with alternative methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption, which depends in part upon the completion of the evaluation of the remaining revenue arrangements. The Company expects to select the transition method by the third quarter of 2017.
Upon completion of the Company’s implementation plan and evaluation of the remaining revenue contracts, the Company plans to adopt additional controls around internal controls over financial reporting and its business processes for any new revenue arrangements that the Company enters. The Company is on target to complete its assessment of ASU 2014-09 and the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of January 1, 2018.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02) requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The updated standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption is permitted. While the Company is not yet in a position to assess the full impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, the Company is currently in the process of cataloging existing lease agreements and evaluating the transition method to be elected.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) which requires that expected credit losses relating to financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 limits the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and also requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. ASU 2016-13 becomes effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). The objective of ASU 2017-04 is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by entities performing their annual goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit, including income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill, with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers investment instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash (Topic 230) (ASU 2016-18) on January 1, 2018 which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period for the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The prior period was retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation. There was no impact to net cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as a result of including restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the

Note 2.Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
LSV Asset Management
The Company has an investment in LSV Asset Management (LSV), a registered investment advisor that provides investment advisory services primarily to institutions, including pension plans and investment companies. LSV is currently an investment sub-advisor for a limited number of SEI-sponsored mutual funds.investment products. The Company accounts for its interest in LSV using the equity method because of its less than 50 percent ownership. The Company’s interest in the net assets of LSV is reflected in Investment in unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and its interest in the earnings of LSV is reflected in Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
At June 30, 2017March 31, 2018, the Company’s total investment in LSV was $45,19754,482. The Company receives partnership distributions from LSV on a quarterly basis. The Company received partnership distributions from LSV of $75,14245,617 and $67,06135,265 in the sixthree months ended June 30March 31, 20172018 and 20162017, respectively. As such, the Company considers these distribution payments as returns on investment rather than returns of the Company's original investment in LSV and has therefore classified the associated cash inflows as an operating activity on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company’s proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $36,31540,607 and $30,28533,565 during the three months ended June 30March 31, 20172018 and 20162017, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company's proportionate share in the earnings

In April 2016, LSV provided an interest in the partnership to select key employees which reduced the ownership percentage of each existing partner on a pro-rata basis. As a result, the Company's total partnership interest in LSV was reduced from approximately 39.2 percent to approximately 38.9 percent.
Guaranty Agreement with LSV Employee Group III
In October 2012, LSV Employee Group III purchased a portion of the partnership interest of three existing LSV employees for $77,700, of which $69,930 was financed through two syndicated term loan facilities contained in a credit agreement with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The Company provided an unsecured guaranty for $45,000 of the obligations of LSV Employee Group III to the lenders through a guaranty agreement. The lenders had the right to seek payment from the Company in the event of a default by LSV Employee Group III. LSV provided an unsecured guaranty for $24,930 of the obligations of LSV Employee Group III to the lenders through a separate guaranty agreement.
The Company’s direct interest in LSV was unchanged as a result of this transaction. The Company determined that LSV Employee Group III was a variable interest entity (VIE); however, the Company was not considered the primary beneficiary because it did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of LSV Employee Group III either directly or through any financial responsibility from the guaranty.
In September 2014 and June 2017, LSV Employee Group III made the final principal payments related to the term loans guaranteed by LSV and the Company, respectively, and has no further obligation regarding the agreement. The Company has no other interests in LSV Employee Group III and, therefore, no longer considers LSV Employee Group III to be a VIE.

Note 3.    Variable Interest Entities – Investment Products
The Company or its affiliates have created numerous investment products for its clients in various types of legal entity structures. The Company serves as the Manager, Administrator and Distributor for these investment products and may also serve as the Trustee for some of the investment products. The Company receives asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees for these services. Clients are the equity investors and participate in proportion to their ownership percentage in the net income or loss and net capital gains or losses of the products, and, on liquidation, will participate in proportion to their ownership percentage in the remaining net assets of the products after satisfaction of outstanding liabilities.
The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the entities and; therefore, is not required to consolidate any of the pooled investment vehicles for which it receives asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees under the VIE model. The entities either do not meet the definition of a VIE or the Company does not hold a variable interest in the entities. The entities either qualify for the money market scope exception, or are entities in which the Company’s asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees are commensurate with the services provided and include fair terms and conditions, or are entities that are limited partnerships which have substantive kick-out rights. The Company acts as a fiduciary and does not hold any other interests other than insignificant seed money investments in the pooled investment vehicles. For this reason, the Company also concluded that it is not required to consolidate the pooled investment vehicles under the VOEvoting interest entity (VOE) model.
The Company is a party to expense limitation agreements with certain SEI-sponsored money market funds subject to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 which establish a maximum level of ordinary operating expenses incurred by the fund in any fiscal year including, but not limited to, fees of the administrator or its affiliates. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company waived $6,606$6,654 and $9,891$7,072 in fees during the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company waived $13,678 and $22,368, respectively, in fees.

In addition, certain fees earned from investment operations services are calculated based on assets under administration that have a prolonged valuation process which delays billings to clients.
Receivables from investment products on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily represent fees receivable for distribution, investment advisory, and administration services to various regulated investment companies and other investment products sponsored by SEI.

Note 5.    Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, except for the Company's investment funds sponsored by LSV, is determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s Level 1 financial assets consist mainly of investments in open-ended mutual funds that are quoted daily. Level 2 financial assets consist of Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) mortgage-backed securities held by the Company's wholly-owned limited purpose federal thrift subsidiary, SEI Private Trust Company (SPTC), Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other U.S. government agency short-term notes held by SIDCO. The financial assets held by SIDCO were purchased as part of a cash management program requiring only short term, top-tier investment grade government and corporate securities. The financial assets held by SPTC are debt securities issued by GNMA and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These securities were purchased for the sole purpose of satisfying applicable regulatory requirements and have maturity dates which range from 20202021 to 2041.
The fair value of the Company's investment funds sponsored by LSV is measured using the net asset value per share (NAV) as a practical expedient. The NAVs of the funds are calculated by the funds' independent custodian and are derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the reporting date. The funds allow for investor redemptions at the end of each calendar month. This investment has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy but is presented in the tables below to permit reconciliation to the amounts presented on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

12 of 38



The valuation of the Company's Level 2 financial assets held by SIDCO and SPTC are based upon securities pricing policies and procedures utilized by third-party pricing vendors.
The pricing policies and procedures applied for our Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets during the sixthree months ended June 30March 31, 20172018 were consistent with those as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K at December 31, 20162017. The Company had no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2016.2017 that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no transfers of financial assets between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the sixthree months ended June 30March 31, 20172018.

Note 7.    Line of Credit
The Company has a five-year $300,000 Credit Agreement (the Credit Facility) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and a syndicate of other lenders. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire in June 2021, at which time any aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding becomes payable in full. Any borrowings made under the Credit Facility will accrue interest at rates that, at the Company's option, are based on a base rate (the Base Rate) plus a premium that can range from 0.25 percent to 1.00 percent or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a premium that can range from 1.25 percent to 2.00 percent depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio (a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the four preceding fiscal quarters, all as defined in the related agreement). The Base Rate is defined as the highest of a) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50 percent, b) the prime commercial lending rate of Wells Fargo, c) the applicable LIBOR plus 1.00 percent, or d) 0 percent. The Company also pays quarterly commitment fees based on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The quarterly fees for the Credit Facility can range from 0.15 percent of the amount of the unused portion to 0.30 percent, depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio. Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company have guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the agreement. The aggregate amount of the Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $100,000 under certain conditions set forth in the agreement.

None of the covenants of the Credit Facility negatively affect the Company’s liquidity or capital resources. Upon the occurrence of certain financial or economic events, significant corporate events, or certain other events of default constituting an event of default under the Credit Facility, all loans outstanding may be declared immediately due and payable and all commitments under the agreement may be terminated.

Note 8.    Shareholders’ Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has only non-qualified stock options outstanding under its equity compensation plans. All outstanding stock options have performance-based vesting provisions specific to each option grant that tie the vesting of the applicable stock options to the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s stock options vest at a rate of 50 percent when a specified diluted earnings per share target is achieved, and the remaining 50 percent when a second, higher specified diluted earnings per share target is achieved. Options do not vest due to the passage of time but solely as a result of achievement of the financial vesting targets. Options granted in December 2017 include a service condition which requires a minimum two or four year waiting period from the grant date along with the attainment of the applicable financial vesting target. Earnings per share targets exclude the impact of stock-based compensation and are established at time of grant. The targets are measured annually on December 31. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the period is based upon management’s estimate of when the earnings per share targets may be achieved. Any change in management’s estimate could result in the remaining amount of stock-based compensation expense to be accelerated, spread out over a longer period, or reversed. This may cause volatility in the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in future periods and could materially affect the Company’s earnings.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in its Consolidated Financial Statements in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 20162017, respectively, as follows:

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 differs from the federal income tax statutory rate due to the following:

Other, net (0.6) (0.5) (0.5) (0.5)
  32.1 % 35.2 % 31.6 % 35.2 %

The decrease in the tax ratesrate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09. Under this standard,tax changes enacted in the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act (The Tax Act). The Tax Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and included a permanent reduction in the corporate tax effectsrate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent. In addition, the rate was favorably impacted by an increase in the excess tax benefits recognized on stock-based compensation expense due to a higher volume of stock option exercises are treated as discrete items inexercise activity.
The Tax Act also imposed a territorial rather than worldwide system which requires a one-time transition tax on the reporting period in which they occur. Therefore, the tax effectrepatriation of stock option exercises is not spread over the entire year through the usepreviously deferred foreign earnings. The Company's estimate of the annual effectiveone-time transition tax rate, but insteadas of March 31, 2018 was $11,544, of which $915 is recorded entirelyexpected to be paid within one year and $10,629 is included in Long-term income taxes payable on the period in which the tax deduction arose. Accordingly, the Company recorded the income tax benefit as a discrete item in income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company's effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis due to the tax effects of stock-based compensation.accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States on a consolidated basis and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to examination of income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other domestic and foreign tax authorities. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for years before 20132014 and is no longer subject to state, local or foreign income tax examinations by authorities for years before 2010.2013.
The Company estimates it will recognize $6,293$2,944 of gross unrecognized tax benefits whichbenefits. This amount is expected to be paid within one year dueor to be removed at the expiration of the statute of limitations and resolution of income tax audits and is netted against the current payable account. These unrecognized tax benefits are related to tax positions taken on certain federal, state, and foreign tax returns. However, the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year. While it is reasonably possible that some issues under examination could be resolved in the next twelve months, based upon the current facts and circumstances, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the timing of such resolution or the total range of potential changes as it relates to the current unrecognized tax benefits that are recorded as part of the Company’s financial statements.


Note 12.    Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various claims and legal proceedings.
SEI has been named in seven lawsuits filed in Louisiana courts; four of the cases also name SPTC as a defendant. The underlying allegations in all actions relate to the purported role of SPTC in providing back-office services to Stanford Trust Company. The complaints allege that SEI and SPTC participated in some manner in the sale of “certificates of deposit” issued by Stanford International Bank so as to be a “seller” of the certificates of deposit for purposes of primary liability under the Louisiana Securities Law or so as to be secondarily liable under that statute for sales of certificates of deposit made by Stanford

Trust Company. Two of the actions also include claims for violations of the Louisiana Racketeering Act and possibly conspiracy, and a third also asserts claims of negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the uniform fiduciaries law, negligent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, violations of the Louisiana Racketeering Act, and conspiracy.
The procedural status of the seven cases varies. The Lillie case, filed originally in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, was brought as a class action and is procedurally the most advanced of the cases. SEI and SPTC filed exceptions, which the Court granted in part, dismissing claims under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act and permitting the claims under the Louisiana Securities Law to go forward. On March 11, 2013, newly-added insurance carrier defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. On August 7, 2013, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the matter to the Northern District of Texas where MDL 2099, In re: Stanford Entities Securities Litigation (“the Stanford MDL”), is pending. On September 22, 2015, the District Court on the motion of SEI and SPTC dismissed plaintiffs’ claims for primary liability under Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law, but declined to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims for secondary liability under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law based on the allegations pled by plaintiffs. On November 4, 2015, the District Court granted SEI and SPTC's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claims under Section 712(D) of the Louisiana Securities Law. Consequently, the only claims of plaintiffs still pending before the District Court in Lillie are plaintiffs' claims for secondary liability against SEI and SPTC under Section 714(B) of

19 of 39



the Louisiana Securities Law. On May 2, 2016, the District Court certified the class as being "all persons for whom Stanford Trust Company purchased or renewed Stanford Investment Bank Limited certificates of deposit in Louisiana between January 1, 2007 and February 13, 2009". Notice of the pendency of the class action was mailed to potential class members on October 4, 2016.
On December 1, 2016, a group of plaintiffs who opted out of the Lillie class filed a complaint against SEI and SPTC in the United States District Court in the Middle District of Louisiana, alleging claims essentially the same as those in Lillie. In January 2017, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the proceeding to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. During February 2017, SEI filed its response to the Complaint and in March 2017 the District Court for the Northern District of Texas approved the stipulated dismissal of all claims in this complaint predicated on Section 712(D) or Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law.
Another one of the cases, filed in the 23rd Judicial District Court for the Parish of Ascension, also was removed to federal court and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. The schedule for responding to that Complaint has not yet been established.
The plaintiffs in two of the cases remaining in the Parish of East Baton Rouge have granted SEI and SPTC indefinite extensions to respond to the petitions.
In the two additional cases, filed in East Baton Rouge and brought by the same counsel who filed the Lillie action, virtually all of the litigation to date has involved motions practice and appellate litigation regarding the existence of federal subjection matter jurisdiction under the federal Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act (SLUSA). After the matter was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, that court dismissed the action under SLUSA. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that order, and the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment on February 26, 2014. The matter was remanded to state court and no material activity has taken place since that date.
While the outcome of this litigation remains uncertain, SEI and SPTC believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously. Because of uncertainty in the make-up of the Lillie class, the specific theories of liability that may survive a motion for summary judgment or other dispositive motion, the relative lack of discovery regarding damages, causation, mitigation and other aspects that may ultimately bear upon loss, the Company is not reasonably able to provide an estimate of loss, if any, with respect to the foregoing lawsuits.
On November 26, 2014, a Writ of Summons was issued to two of our subsidiaries, SEI Investments - Global Fund Services Limited (GFSL) and SEI Investments - Depositary & Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (D&C), to appear before the Court of First Instance Antwerp, Belgium. The plaintiffs in this case allege that through their initial investments in collective investment funds domiciled in Netherlands and subsequent transfer of claim rights to a Belgium domiciled partnership, they are beneficial owners of a portfolio of life settlement policies (the Portfolio) which lapsed due to a failure to make premium payments. The plaintiffs seek to recover jointly and severally from nine defendants including GFSL and D&C, damages of approximately $84 million. GFSL and D&C’s involvement in the litigation appears to arise out of their historical provision of administration and custody services, respectively, to the Strategic Life Settlement Fund PLC, who, together with its managers, appear to be the principal defendants in this claim. On December 4, 2015, the Belgium Court dismissed plaintiff's claims for a lack of jurisdiction. On December 22, 2015, the plaintiffs appealed the dismissal. The appeal is still pending.
While the outcome of this action is uncertain given its early phase and the lack of specific theories of liability asserted against GFSL and D&C, each of GFSL and D&C believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously, and GFSL and D&C are not reasonably able to provide an estimate of the ultimate loss, if any, with respect to this lawsuit.


Note 13.    Sale of SEI Asset KoreaGoodwill and Intangible Assets
OnIn July 31, 2012, the Company, MetLife International Holdings, Inc. (MetLife) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) entered into a definitive agreement with Baring Asset Management Limited (Barings) to sell all ownership interest in SEI Asset Korea (SEI AK). SEI AK was located in South Korea and provided domestic equity and fixed-income investment management services to financial institutions and pension funds.
On March 28, 2013, all conditions subject to closing the transaction were satisfied and all ownership interests in SEI AK were transferred to Barings. Under the terms of the agreement, a portion of the purchase price was paid upon closing with up to an additional $11,220 payable to the Company as a contingent purchase price with respect to three one-year periods ending on December 31, 2013, 2014, and 2015 depending upon whether SEI AK achieves specified revenue measures during such periods. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $2,791, or $0.01 diluted earnings per share, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 representing the final annual payment under the terms of the agreement.

The following items had a significant impact on our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 20162017:
Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher Asset management, administration and distribution fees from market appreciation and positive cash flows from new and existing clients. Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $32.2 billion, or 16 percent, to $233.6 billion in the first three months of 2018 as compared to $201.4 billion during the first three months of 2017. Our average assets under administration increased $56.4 billion, or 12 percent, to $530.3 billion in the first three months of 2018 as compared to $474.0 billion during the first three months of 2017.
Information processing and software servicing fees in our Private Banks segment increased $6.4 million during the first three months of 2018 primarily due to increased assets from new and existing clients. Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $20.4 billion, or 11 percent, to $205.3 billion inclients processed on the first six monthsSEI Wealth Platform.
Revenues from our acquisition of 2017 as compared to $184.9 billionSEI Archway were $5.5 million during the first sixthree months of 2016. Our average assets under administration increased $63.7 billion, or 15 percent, to $482.9 billion in the first six months of 2017 as compared to $419.2 billion2018. SEI Archway was acquired during the first six months of 2016.
third quarter 2017 and is reported in our Investment Managers segment.
Our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV increased to $69.9$40.6 million in the first sixthree months of 20172018 as compared to $59.5$33.6 million in the first sixthree months of 20162017 primarily due to increased assets under management from LSV's existing clients due to market appreciation.
Our operating expenses, primarily personnel costs, in our Investment Advisors and Investment Managers segments increased. These expenses primarily consist of operational, technology and marketing costs and are mainly related to servicing existing clients and acquiring new clients. In addition, our Investment Managers segment includes personnel

costs related to SEI Archway. These operating expenses are included in Compensation, benefits and other personnel costs on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The direct costs associated with our investment management programs increased in our Private Banks, Investment Advisors and Institutional Investors segments. These costs primarily relate to fees charged by investment advisory firms for day-to-day portfolio management of SEI-sponsored investment products. These costs are included in Sub-advisory, distribution and other asset management costs on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We capitalized $28.0$12.0 million in the first sixthree months of 20172018 for the SEI Wealth Platform as compared to $16.1$15.2 million in the first sixthree months of 2016.2017. Amortization expense related to the Platform increaseddecreased to $24.5$9.7 million during the first

six three months of 20172018 as compared to $22.0$12.0 million during the first six months of 2016 due to continued enhancements to the Platform.
We also capitalized $5.3 million in the first sixthree months of 2017 as compareddue to $3.5 millionthe adjustment to the estimated useful life of the Platform effective in the first six months of 2016 for an application being developed for the Investment Managers segment. This new offering includes components that leverage upon the current infrastructure and add significant enhancements designed to aggregate, transact and process data. The application is expected to be placed into service in latefourth quarter 2017.
During the first three months of 2018, we placed into service an application developed for the Investment Managers segment. This new offering includes components that leverage upon the current infrastructure and add significant enhancements designed to aggregate, transact and process data. Amortization expense related to the application was $1.3 million during the first three months of 2018.
As we continue the development of new elements of the Platform, our expenses related to maintenance and support have increased. These costs are primarily recognized in personnel and consulting costs and are not eligible for capitalization. These increased costs primarily impacted the Private Banks and Investment Advisors business segments.
Our effective tax rate was 11.9 percent during the first three months of 2018 as compared to 31.0 percent during the first three months of 2017. The decline in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the tax changes enacted in the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act (The Tax Act). In addition, the rate was favorably impacted by increased tax benefits due to a higher volume of stock option exercise activity (See the caption "Income Taxes" later in this discussion for more information).
We continued our stock repurchase program during 2018 and purchased 1.1 million shares for $82.3 million in the three month period.
Our operating expenses, primarily personnel costs, in our Investment Advisors and Investment Managers segments increased. These expenses primarily consistImpact of operational, technology and marketing costs and are mainly related to servicing existing clients and acquiring new clients. These operating expenses are included in Compensation, benefits and other personnel costsAdopting Revenue Recognition Guidance
On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (Accounting Standards Codification 606 (ASC 606), which provides accounting guidance on the accompanyingrecognition of revenues from contracts with customers and impacts the presentation of certain revenues and expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. ASC 606 is applied prospectively from January 1, 2018 and reported financial results from the prior comparable period have not been revised.
Stock-based compensation costs increasedASC 606 did not change the accounting for the majority of our revenue arrangements and did not have a material impact to $12.4 million in the first six months of 2017 as compared to $8.0 million in the first six months 2016.our consolidated financial statements. The increase was primarily due to stock option awards granted in late 2016.
Our effective tax rate during the second quarter of 2017 was 32.1 percent as compared to 35.2 percent during the second quarter of 2016. During the first six months of 2017, our effective tax rate was 31.6 percent as compared to 35.2 percent during the first six months of 2016. The decline in our effective tax rates during the second quarter and the six month period was primarily due toimpact from the adoption of aASC 606 to our financial results during the three months ended March 31, 2018 is primarily related to research services provided to customers in soft-dollar arrangements by SIDCO, our broker-dealer subsidiary. Under the new accountingrevenue standard, which requires all excess tax benefits or deficiencies to befees received for research services by SIDCO are recorded net of amounts paid for the soft dollar arrangement. The amounts we paid under these arrangements were previously recorded as an expense. The impact of this change in presentation was a decline in both revenues and expenses of $3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. There was no impact to our net income tax benefit or expense in the income statement. Our quarterly effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly due to the tax effectsas a result of stock-based compensationthis change (See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information).
We recorded our final pre-tax gain of $2.8 million, or $.01 diluted earnings per share, from the sale of SEI Asset Korea (SEI AK) in the first six months of 2016. The gain from the sale is included in Gain on sale of subsidiary on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations (See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information).
We continued our stock repurchase program during 2017 and purchased 2.4 million shares for $120.0 million in the six month period.
On July 3, 2017, we acquired Archway Technology Partners, LLC (Archway), a provider of operating technologies and services to the family office industry, for approximately $81.5 million in cash consideration with up to an additional $8.0 million payable to the seller as a contingent purchase price with respect to two one-year periods ending December 31, 2017 and 2018 depending upon whether Archway achieves specified financial measures during such periods. Archway will be integrated into our Investment Managers business segment (See Note 141 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

The increase in our earnings from LSV was primarily due to increased assets under management from LSV's existing clients due to market appreciation; however, our earnings were negatively impacted by increased personnel expenses of LSV. Average assets under management by LSV increased $14.5$18.8 billion to $91.7$109.9 billion during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 as compared to $77.2$91.2 billion during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, an increase of 1921 percent.
In April 2016, LSV provided an interest in the partnership to select key employees which reduced the ownership percentage of each existing partner on a pro-rata basis. As a result, our total partnership interest in LSV was reduced from approximately 39.2 percent to approximately 38.9 percent.
Gain on sale of subsidiary
We recorded a gain of $2.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 from the sale of our ownership interests in SEI AK. This gain is included in Gain on sale of subsidiary on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations (See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information).

Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 differs from the federal income tax statutory rate due to the following:

The decrease in our effective tax ratesrate for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09. Under this standard, we no longer record excesstax changes enacted in The Tax Act. The Tax Act was enacted in December 2017 and included a permanent reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent. In addition, our rate was favorably impacted by increased tax benefits from stock option exercises as an increasedue to additional paid in capital, but record such excess tax benefits as a reductionhigher volume of income tax expense in the reporting period in which the exercises occur. At each interim reporting period, the cumulative stock option exercise activity is remeasured against year to date net income, resulting in an adjustmentduring the first quarter of 2018 as compared to the effect from excess tax benefits on our quarterly tax rate. Consequently, our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis due to the tax effectsfirst quarter of stock-based compensation.2017.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, except for the investment funds sponsored by LSV, is determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the investment funds sponsored by LSV is measured using the net asset value per share (NAV) as a practical expedient. The fair value of all other financial assets are determined using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs and consist mainly of investments in equity or fixed-income mutual funds that are quoted daily and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and other U.S. government agency securities that are single issuer pools that are valued based on current market data of similar assets. We did not have any financial liabilities at June March 31, 2018 or

30 2017 or of 38



December 31, 20162017 that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (See Note 5 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Regulatory Matters
Like many firms operating within the financial services industry, we are experiencing a difficult regulatory environment across our markets. Our current scale and reach as a provider to the financial services industry, the introduction and implementation of new solutionsplatforms for our financial services industry clients, the increased regulatory oversight of the financial services industry generally, new laws and regulations affecting the financial services industry and ever-changing regulatory interpretations of existing laws and regulations, and a greater propensity of regulators to pursue enforcement actions and other sanctions against regulated entities, have made this an increasingly challenging and costly regulatory environment in which to operate.
SEI and some of our regulated subsidiaries have undergone or been scheduled to undergo a range of periodic or thematic reviews, examinations or investigations by numerous regulatory authorities around the world, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom, the Central Bank of Ireland and others. These regulatory activities typically result in the identification of matters or practices to be addressed by us or our subsidiaries and, in certain circumstances, the regulatory authorities require remediation activities or pursue enforcement proceedings against us or our subsidiaries. As described under the caption “Regulatory Considerations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the range of possible sanctions that are available to regulatory authorities include limitations on our ability to engage in business for specified periods of time, the revocation of registration, censures and fines. The direct and indirect costs of responding to these regulatory activities and of complying with new or modified regulations, as well as the potential financial costs and potential reputational impact against us of any enforcement proceedings that might result, is uncertain but could have a material adverse impact on our operating results or financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
We transact business in the local currencies of various foreign countries, principally the United Kingdom, Canada and Ireland. The total of all of our foreign operations in these countries accounted for approximately nine percent of our total consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Also, most of our foreign operations match local currency revenues with local currency costs. We translate sales and other results denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for our consolidated financial statements. During periods of a strengthening dollar, our reported international sales and earnings could be reduced because foreign currencies may translate into fewer U.S. dollars. A fluctuation of currency exchange rates may expose us to gains and losses on non-U.S. currency transactions and a potential devaluation of the local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar which may impair our revenue growth and operating profits and also prolong sales cycles with potential customers. We currently do not engage in any foreign currency hedging strategies. The percentages of our total consolidated revenues and expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2017 transacted in British pound, Canadian dollar and Euro currencies were as follows:

Acquisition of Archway Technology Partners, LLC
On July 3, 2017, we acquired Archway Technology Partners, LLC (Archway), a provider of operating technologies and services to the family office industry, for approximately $81.5 million in cash consideration with up to an additional $8.0 million payable to the seller as a contingent purchase price with respect to two one-year periods ending December 31, 2017 and 2018 depending upon whether Archway achieves specified financial measures during such periods. Archway will be integrated into our Investment Managers business segment (See Note 14 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Cash requirements and liquidity needs are primarily funded through our cash flow from operations and our capacity for additional borrowing. At June 30, 2017March 31, 2018, our unused sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents and the amount available under our credit facility. We adopted ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash (Topic 230) (ASU 2016-18) on January 1, 2018 which requires the statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period for the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The prior period was retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation. There was no impact to net cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as a result of including restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents.
Our credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $300.0 million and is scheduled to expire in June 2021 (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The availability of the credit facility is subject to compliance with certain covenants set forth in the agreement. The credit facility contains covenants which restrict our ability to engage in mergers, consolidations,

32 of 39



asset sales, investments, transactions with affiliates, or to incur liens, as defined in the agreement. In the event of a default under the credit facility, we would also be restricted from paying dividends on, or repurchasing, our common stock. Currently, our ability to borrow from the credit facility is not limited by any covenant of the agreement. OnIn July 7, 2017, we elected to borrow $40,000borrowed $40.0 million under the Credit Facilitycredit facility for cash management purposes subsequent to the funding of an acquisition (See Note 14acquisition.

As of July 20, 2017,April 19, 2018, the full amount of $300.0 million of the credit facility was available for corporate purposes was $260.0 million.purposes.
The majority of our excess cash reserves are primarily placed in accounts located in the United States that invest entirely in SEI-sponsored money market mutual funds denominated in the U.S. dollar. We also utilize demand deposit accounts or money market accounts at several well-established financial institutions located in the United States. Accounts used to manage these

31 of 38



excess cash reserves do not impose any restrictions or limitations that would prevent us from being able to access such cash amounts immediately. As of July 20, 2017,April 19, 2018, the amount of cash and cash equivalents considered free and immediately accessible for other general corporate purposes was $256.2$315.9 million.
Our cash and cash equivalents include accounts managed by our subsidiaries that are used in their operations or to cover specific business and regulatory requirements. The availability of this cash for other purposes beyond the operations of these subsidiaries may be limited. Also, some of our foreign subsidiaries may have excess cash reserves which are considered to be undistributed earnings and indefinitely reinvested. Upon distribution of these earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be immediately subject to both U.S. and foreign withholding taxes which would reduce the amount we would ultimately realize. In addition to the foreign withholding taxes, the negative impact resulting from unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations on the cash balances held by our foreign subsidiaries would also reduce the amount realized. We therefore do not include accounts of our foreign subsidiaries in our calculation of free and immediately accessible cash for other general corporate purposes. With the enactment of the Tax Act, a portion of the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are deemed repatriated. Any subsequent transfer of available cash related to the repatriated earnings of our foreign subsidiaries could significantly increase our free and immediately accessible cash.
Cash flows from operations increased $21.4$31.2 million in the first sixthree months of 20172018 compared to the first sixthree months of 20162017 primarily from the increase in our net income and higher distribution payments received from our unconsolidated affiliate, LSV. The increase was partially offset by the negative impact from the timing of collections of receivables.change in our working capital accounts.
Cash flows used in investing activities increased $14.9 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of 2016. Net cash used in investing activities includes:
Purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities. Our purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities in the first sixthree months of 20172018 and 20162017 were as follows:

The capitalization of costs incurred in developing computer software. We capitalized $28.0 million of software development costs in the first six months of 2017 as compared to $16.1 million in the first six months of 2016 for significant enhancements for the expanded functionality of the SEI Wealth Platform. We continually reassess the useful life of the SEI Wealth Platform. The continued progress of the development of the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution and the business processing solution, combined with the long-term contracts entered into with clients, may result in a change in the remaining useful life of the Platform and the remaining period of amortization. Additionally, we also capitalized $5.3 million and $3.5 million of software development costs in the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively, for a new application for the Investment Managers segment. The application is expected to be placed into service in late 2017 and have an estimated useful life of five years.
Capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures in the first six months of 2017 were $10.2 million as compared to $9.0 million in the first six months of 2016. Our expenditures in 2017 and 2016 primarily include purchased software and equipment for our data center operations.
Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $32.2 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of 2016
The capitalization of costs incurred in developing computer software. We capitalized $12.9 million of software development costs in the first three months of 2018 as compared to $16.9 million in the first three months of 2017. The majority of our software development costs are related to significant enhancements for the expanded functionality of the SEI Wealth Platform.
Capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures in the first three months of 2018 were $5.6 million as compared to $3.2 million in the first three months of 2017. Our expenditures in 2018 and 2017 primarily include purchased software, equipment for our data center operations and the expansion of our corporate headquarters.
Net cash used in financing activities includes:
The repurchase of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of our common stock through multiple authorizations. Currently, there is no expiration date for our common stock repurchase program. We had total capital outlays of $122.1 million during the first six months of 2017 and $155.7 million during the first six months of 2016 for the repurchase of our common stock.

33 of 39



Proceeds from the issuance of our common stock. We received $29.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock during the first six months of 2017 as compared to $26.3 million during the first six months of 2016. The increase in proceeds is primarily attributable to a higher level of stock option exercise activity.
Dividend payments. Cash dividends paid were $88.9 million in the first six months of 2017 as compared to $84.6 million in the first six months of 2016.
Principal repayments on revolving credit facility. In July 2017, we borrowed $40.0 million for the funding of an acquisition. We made principal payments of $10.0 million each during October 2017 and January 2018 and a final payment of $20.0 million during April 2018 to repay the entire outstanding balance (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
The repurchase of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of our common stock through multiple authorizations. Currently, there is no expiration date for our common stock repurchase program. We had total capital outlays of $88.0 million during the first three months of 2018 and $56.6 million during the first three months of 2017 for the repurchase of our common stock.
Proceeds from the issuance of our common stock. We received $57.9 million in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock during the first three months of 2018 as compared to $16.8 million during the first three months of 2017. The increase in proceeds is primarily attributable to a higher level of stock option exercise activity.
Dividend payments. Cash dividends paid were $47.2 million in the first three months of 2018 as compared to $44.6 million in the first three months of 2017.
We believe our operating cash flow, available borrowing capacity, and existing cash and cash equivalents should provide adequate funds for ongoing operations; continued investment in new products and equipment; our common stock repurchase program and future dividend payments.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangement
On October 1, 2012, we provided an unsecured guaranty of the obligations of LSV Employee Group III to The PrivateBank and Trust Company and certain other lenders. We entered into this agreement in order to facilitate the acquisition of certain partnership interests of LSV by LSV Employee Group III. In June 2017, LSV Employee Group III made the final principal payment and, therefore, the Company has no further obligation regarding the agreement. Additional information pertaining to the agreement is presented in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

litigation and regulatory examinations and investigations;
increased costs and regulatory risks from the growth of our business;
consolidation within our target markets, including consolidations between banks and other financial institutions;
the exit by the United Kingdom from the European Union;
third party approval of our investment products with advisors affiliated with independent broker-dealers or other networks;
financial and non-financial covenants which may restrict our ability to manage liquidity needs;
changes in, or interpretation of, accounting principles or tax rules and regulations;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
fluctuations in interest rates affecting the value of our fixed-income investment securities; and
retention of executive officers and senior management personnel.
Our principal, regulated wholly-owned subsidiaries areinclude SEI Investments Distribution Co., or SIDCO, SEI Investments Management Corporation, or SIMC, SEI Private Trust Company, or SPTC, SEI Trust Company, or STC, and SEI Investments (Europe) Limited, or SIEL.SIEL, SEI Investments Canada Company, or SEI Canada, SEI Investments Global, Limited, or SIGL, SEI Investments - Global Fund Services, Ltd., or GFSL, and SEI Investments - Depositary and Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited, or D&C. SIDCO is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). SIMC is an investment advisor registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) under the Commodity

34 of 39



Futures Exchange Act. SPTC is a limited purpose federal thrift chartered and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. STC is a Pennsylvania trust company, regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. SIEL is an investment manager and financial institution subject to regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom. SEI Canada is regulated by the Ontario Securities Commission and various provincial authorities as an investment fund manager and in various other capacities. SIGL is primarily regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) as a management company for Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities, or UCITS, and for Alternative Investment Funds, or AIFs. GFSL is regulated by the CBI and authorized to provide administration services for Irish and non-Irish collective investment schemes. D&C is regulated by the CBI and authorized to provide depositary and custodial services. In addition, various SEI subsidiaries are subject to the jurisdiction of regulatory authorities in Canada, the Republic of Ireland and other foreign countries. The Company has a minority ownership interest in LSV, which is also an investment advisor registered with the SEC.
The Company, its regulated subsidiaries, their regulated services and solutionsplatforms and their customers are all subject to extensive legislation, regulation and supervision that recently has been subject to, and continues to experience, significant change and increased regulatory activity. These changes and regulatory activities could have a material adverse affecteffect on us and our clients.
The various governmental agencies and self-regulatory authorities that regulate or supervise the Company and various of its subsidiaries have broad administrative powers. In the event of a failure to comply with laws, regulations and requirements of these agencies and authorities, the possible sanctions that may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on our ability to engage in business for specified periods of time, the revocation of applicable registration as a broker-dealer, investment advisor or other regulated entity, and, as the case may be, censures and fines. Additionally, certain securities and banking laws applicable to us and our subsidiaries provide for certain private rights of action that could give rise to civil

33 of 38



litigation. Any litigation could have significant financial and non-financial consequences including monetary judgments and the requirement to take action or limit activities that could ultimately affect our business.
Governmental scrutiny from regulators, legislative bodies and law enforcement agencies with respect to matters relating to our regulated subsidiaries and their activities, services and solutions,platforms, our business practices, our past actions and other matters has increased dramatically in the past several years. Responding to these examinations, investigations, actions and lawsuits, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the proceeding, is time consuming and expensive and can divert the time and effort of our senior management from our business. Penalties and fines sought by regulatory authorities have increased substantially over the last several years, and certain regulators have been more likely in recent years to commence enforcement actions or to advance or support legislation targeted at the financial services industry. We continue to be subject to inquiries from examinations and investigations by supervisory and enforcement divisions of regulatory authorities and expect this to continue in the future. We believe this is also the case with many of our regulated clients. Governmental scrutiny and legal and enforcement proceedings can also have a negative impact on our reputation, our relationship with clients and prospective clients, and on the morale and performance of our employees, which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.
We are subject to the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, which contains anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and requires implementation of regulations applicable to financial services companies, including standards for verifying client identification and monitoring client transactions and detecting and reporting suspicious activities. Anti-money laundering laws outside the United States contain similar requirements. We offer investment and banking solutionsplatforms that also are subject to regulation by the federal and state securities and banking authorities, as well as foreign regulatory authorities, where applicable. Existing or future regulations that affect these solutionsplatforms could lead to a reduction in sales of these solutionsplatforms or require modifications of these solutions.platforms.
Compliance with existing and future regulations and responding to and complying with recent increased regulatory activity affecting broker-dealers, investment advisors, investment companies, financial institutions and their service providers could have a significant impact on us. We periodically undergo regulatory examinations and respond to regulatory inquiries challenges, and document requests. In addition, recent and continuing legislative activity in the United States (including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and attendant rule making activities) and in other jurisdictions (including the European Union and the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland)Kingdom) have made and continue to make extensive changes to the laws regulating financial services firms. Recent changes include the effectiveness of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and pending effectiveness of the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union and the U.S. Department of Labor's Fiduciary Rule. As a result of these examinations, inquiries and requests, as a result of increased civil litigation activity, and as a result of these new laws and regulations, we engage legal counsel, review our compliance procedures, solutionplatform and service offerings, and business operations, and make changes as we deem necessary. These additional activities and required changes may result in increased expense or may reduce revenues.
Our bank clients are subject to supervision by federal, state and stateforeign banking and financial services authorities concerning the manner in which such clients purchase and receive our products and services. Our plan sponsor clients and our subsidiaries providing services to those clients are subject to supervision by the Department of Labor and compliance with employee benefit regulations. Investment advisor and broker-dealer clients are regulated by the SEC, state securities authorities, or FINRA. Existing or future regulations applicable to our clients may affect our clients’ purchase of our products and services.
In addition, see the discussion of governmental regulations in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the risks that proposed regulatory changes may present for our business.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Information required by this item is set forth under the captions "Our revenues and earnings are affected by changes in capital markets" and "Changes in interest rates may affect the value of our fixed-income investment securities"in Item 1A "Risk Factors" and under the caption "Sensitivity of our revenues and earnings to capital market fluctuations" in Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017. There have been no material changes to this information as it is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 20162017.


Item 4.Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the

34 of 38



Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
SEI has been named in seven lawsuits filed in Louisiana courts; four of the cases also name SPTC as a defendant. The underlying allegations in all actions relate to the purported role of SPTC in providing back-office services to Stanford Trust Company. The complaints allege that SEI and SPTC participated in some manner in the sale of “certificates of deposit” issued by Stanford International Bank so as to be a “seller” of the certificates of deposit for purposes of primary liability under the Louisiana Securities Law or so as to be secondarily liable under that statute for sales of certificates of deposit made by Stanford Trust Company. Two of the actions also include claims for violations of the Louisiana Racketeering Act and possibly conspiracy, and a third also asserts claims of negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the uniform fiduciaries law, negligent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, violations of the Louisiana Racketeering Act, and conspiracy.
The procedural status of the seven cases varies. The Lillie case, filed originally in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, was brought as a class action and is procedurally the most advanced of the cases. SEI and SPTC filed exceptions, which the Court granted in part, dismissing claims under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act and permitting the claims under the Louisiana Securities Law to go forward. On March 11, 2013, newly-added insurance carrier defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. On August 7, 2013, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the matter to the Northern District of Texas where MDL 2099, In re: Stanford Entities Securities Litigation (“the Stanford MDL”), is pending. On September 22, 2015, the District Court on the motion of SEI and SPTC dismissed plaintiffs’ claims for primary liability under Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law, but declined to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims for secondary liability under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law based on the allegations pled by plaintiffs. On November 4, 2015, the District Court granted SEI and SPTC's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claims under Section 712(D) of the Louisiana Securities Law. Consequently, the only claims of plaintiffs still pending before the District Court in Lillie are plaintiffs' claims for secondary liability against SEI and SPTC under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law. On May 2, 2016, the District Court certified the class as being "all persons for whom Stanford Trust Company purchased or renewed Stanford Investment Bank Limited certificates of deposit in Louisiana between January 1, 2007 and February 13, 2009". Notice of the pendency of the class action was mailed to potential class members on October 4, 2016.
On December 1, 2016, a group of plaintiffs who opted out of the Lillie class filed a complaint against SEI and SPTC in the United States District Court in the Middle District of Louisiana, alleging claims essentially the same as those in Lillie. In January 2017, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the proceeding to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. During February 2017, SEI filed its response to the Complaint and in March 2017 the District Court for the Northern District of Texas approved the stipulated dismissal of all claims in this complaint predicated on Section 712(D) or Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law.
Another one of the cases, filed in the 23rd Judicial District Court for the Parish of Ascension, also was removed to federal court and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. The schedule for responding to that Complaint has not yet been established.
The plaintiffs in two of the cases remaining in the Parish of East Baton Rouge have granted SEI and SPTC indefinite extensions to respond to the petitions.
In the two additional cases, filed in East Baton Rouge and brought by the same counsel who filed the Lillie action, virtually all of the litigation to date has involved motions practice and appellate litigation regarding the existence of federal subjection matter jurisdiction under the federal Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act (SLUSA). After the matter was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, that court dismissed the action under SLUSA. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that order, and the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment on February 26, 2014. The matter was remanded to state court and no material activity has taken place since that date.
While the outcome of this litigation remains uncertain, SEI and SPTC believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously. Because of uncertainty in the make-up of the Lillie class, the specific theories of liability that may survive a motion for summary judgment or other dispositive motion, the relative lack of discovery regarding damages, causation, mitigation and other aspects that may ultimately bear upon loss, the Company is not reasonably able to provide an estimate of loss, if any, with respect to the foregoing lawsuits.
On November 26, 2014, a Writ of Summons was issued to two of our subsidiaries, SEI Investments - Global Fund Services Limited (GFSL) and SEI Investments - Depositary & Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (D&C), to appear before the Court of First Instance Antwerp, Belgium. The plaintiffs in this case allege that through their initial investments in collective investment funds domiciled in Netherlands and subsequent transfer of claim rights to a Belgium domiciled partnership, they are beneficial owners of a portfolio of life settlement policies (the Portfolio) which lapsed due to a failure to


3736 of 3938





make premium payments. The plaintiffs seek to recover jointly and severally from nine defendants including GFSL and D&C, damages of approximately $84 million. GFSL and D&C’s involvement in the litigation appears to arise out of their historical provision of administration and custody services, respectively, to the Strategic Life Settlement Fund PLC, who, together with its managers, appear to be the principal defendants in this claim. On December 4, 2015, the Belgium Court dismissed plaintiff's claims for a lack of jurisdiction. On December 22, 2015, the plaintiffs appealed the dismissal. The appeal is still pending.
While the outcome of this action is uncertain given its early phase and the lack of specific theories of liability asserted against GFSL and D&C, each of GFSL and D&C believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously, and GFSL and D&C are not reasonably able to provide an estimate of the ultimate loss, if any, with respect to this lawsuit.
