FHI

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Federated Investors, Inc. (NYSE: FII), one of the nation's largest investment managers, today reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.38 for Q4 2014, compared to $0.39 for the same quarter last year on net income of $39.6 million for Q4 2014, compared to $41.1 million for Q4 2013. Federated reported 2014 EPS of $1.42 on net income of $149.2 million, compared to EPS of $1.55 on net income of $162.2 million for 2013.

Federated's total managed assets were $362.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2014, down $13.2 billion or 4 percent from $376.1 billion at Dec. 31, 2013 and up $10.6 billion or 3 percent from $352.3 billion at Sept. 30, 2014.

"A range of Federated equity strategies again delivered strong performance for their shareholders in 2014. Eight funds, or more than 30 percent of Federated's equity funds, earned top-decile performance on a three-year basis at quarter end, contributing to record net equity sales for the year," said J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer. "At the same time, we continued to see demand for fixed-income products such as the Federated Total Return Bond Fund."

Federated's board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share. The dividend is payable on Feb. 13, 2015 to shareholders of record as of Feb. 6, 2015. During Q4 2014, Federated purchased 200,000 shares of Federated class B common stock for $6.2 million.

Federated's equity assets were a record $51.4 billion at Dec. 31, 2014, up $7.3 billion or 17 percent from $44.1 billion at Dec. 31, 2013 and up $1.1 billion or 2 percent from $50.3 billion at Sept. 30, 2014. Top-selling equity funds during Q4 2014 on a net basis were Federated Strategic Value Dividend Fund, Federated Capital Income Fund, Federated Kaufmann Large Cap Fund, Federated Muni and Stock Advantage Fund and Federated International Strategic Value Dividend Fund.

Federated's fixed-income assets were $52.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2014, up $2.6 billion or 5 percent from $50.1 billion at Dec. 31, 2013 and up $1.5 billion or 3 percent from $51.2 billion at Sept. 30, 2014. Top-selling fixed-income funds during Q4 2014 on a net basis were Federated Total Return Bond Fund, Federated Institutional High Yield Bond Fund, Federated Ultrashort Bond Fund, Federated U.S. Government Securities Fund: 2-5 Years and Federated Sterling Cash Plus Fund.

Federated's money market assets were $258.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2014, down $17.2 billion or 6 percent from $276.0 billion at Dec. 31, 2013 and up $13.3 billion or 5 percent from $245.5 billion at Sept. 30, 2014.

Financial Summary

Q4 2014 vs. Q4 2013

Revenue increased by $3.1 million or 1 percent due to higher average equity assets under management, partially offset by lower average money market assets. The increase in revenue was also due to a decrease in voluntary fee waivers related to certain money market assets primarily due to lower average money market assets. For information about voluntary fee waivers related to certain money market funds in order for those funds to maintain positive or zero net yields, please see the table at the end of this financial summary.

During Q4 2014, Federated derived 69 percent of its revenue from equity and fixed-income assets (46 percent from equity assets and 23 percent from fixed-income assets) and 31 percent from money market assets.

Operating expenses increased by $1.3 million or 1 percent primarily due to an increase in compensation and related expenses.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased by $3.9 million or 88 percent primarily due to a decrease in gains realized from investments.

Q4 2014 vs. Q3 2014

Revenue increased by $0.9 million primarily due to higher average money market, equity and fixed-income assets.

Operating expenses increased by $0.1 million.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased by $1.9 million or 138 percent primarily due to decreases in the fair value of trading securities held in Q3 as compared to slight increases in the fair value of trading securities held in Q4.

2014 vs. 2013

Revenue decreased by $19.1 million or 2 percent primarily due to lower average money market assets, increased voluntary fee waivers related to certain money market funds and a change in the mix of average fixed-income assets. The decrease was partially offset by higher average equity assets.

During 2014, Federated derived 67 percent of its revenue from equity and fixed-income assets (45 percent from equity assets and 22 percent from fixed-income assets), 32 percent from money market assets and 1 percent from other products and services.

Operating expenses decreased by $5.3 million or 1 percent primarily due to a decrease in distribution expenses associated with lower average money market fund assets and a decrease in professional service fees, partially offset by an increase in compensation and related expenses.

Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased by $5.9 million or 81 percent primarily due to a decrease in gains realized from investments. The decrease was partially offset by non-cash impairment charges of a minority interest investment in 2013.

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

Fee waivers to maintain positive or zero net yields on money market funds and the resulting negative impact of these waivers could vary significantly in the future as they are contingent on a number of variables including, but not limited to, changes in assets within the money market funds, yields on instruments available for purchase by the money market funds, actions by the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the SEC, the Financial Stability Oversight Council and other governmental entities, changes in expenses of the money market funds, changes in the mix of money market customer assets, changes in the structure of money market funds, demand for competing products, changes in the distribution fee arrangements with third parties, Federated's willingness to continue the fee waivers and changes in the extent to which the impact of the waivers is shared by third parties.
