BLACKROCK, INC. BlackRock Reports Second Quarter 2022 Diluted EPS of $7.06, or $7.36 as adjusted |
New York, July 15, 2022 - BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. |
$90 billion of quarterly total net inflows reflects continued strength of broad-based platform with positive flows across all product types and regions 6% decrease in revenue year-over-year primarily driven by the impact of significantly lower markets and dollar appreciation on average AUM and lower performance fees 5% increase in technology services revenue year-over-year reflects continued strong client demand for Aladdin, despite the negative impact of foreign exchange movements 14% decrease in operating income year-over-year 21% decrease in diluted EPS (30% as adjusted) year-over-year also reflects lower nonoperating income in the current quarter $500 million of share repurchasesin the current quarter | Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO: "The first half of 2022 brought an investment environment that we have not seen in decades. Investors are simultaneously navigating high inflation, rising rates and the worst start to the year for both stocks and bonds in half a century, with global equity and fixed income indexes down 20% and 10%, respectively. "BlackRock generated net inflows of $90 billion in the second quarter demonstrating our ability, once again, to deliver industry-leading organic growth even in the most challenging of environments. Our connectivity with clients has never been stronger. Over the last twelve months, we've delivered over $460 billion of net inflows reflecting 5% organic base fee growth. "I cannot think of a time when BlackRock's strategic focus has been more aligned with the needs of our clients than it is today. ETFs generated $52 billion of net inflows, led by fixed income net inflows of $31 billion. Active strategies continued to reflect demand for systematic equity, LifePath target-date solutions and alternatives, where we raised nearly $8 billion across commitments and net inflows. BlackRock's cash platform reached record AUM levels in the quarter, generating $21 billion of net inflows. And, we had record Aladdin client mandates in the first half of 2022. "Over the course of BlackRock's 34-year history, we have experienced numerous periods of volatility and uncertainty, and BlackRock has always come through stronger. It is during periods like these that we differentiate ourselves even more with clients and further deepen those relationships. I see more opportunities for BlackRock today than ever before, and remain confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth for our clients, shareholders and employees." |

Highlights
• | Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue decreased $69 million from the second quarter of 2021 primarily driven by the negative impact of market beta and foreign exchange movements on average AUM, partially offset by organic base fee growth, the elimination of yield-related fee waivers on money market funds, and higher securities lending revenue. Securities lending revenue of $160 million increased from $140 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting higher spreads. |
Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue decreased $145 million from the first quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the negative impact of market beta and foreign exchange movements on average AUM, partially offset by the elimination of yield-related fee waivers on money market funds, the effect of one additional day in the quarter, and higher securities lending revenue. Securities lending revenue of $160 million increased from $138 million in the first quarter of 2022,primarily reflecting higher spreads.
• | Performance fees decreased $234 million from the second quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting lower revenue from alternative and long-only products. |
• | Technology services revenue increased $16 million from the second quarter of 2021, reflecting continued strong client demand for Aladdin, despite the negative impact of foreign exchange movements. Technology services annual contract value ("ACV")(1) increased 10% from the second quarter of 2021, and was similarly impacted by foreign exchange headwinds. |

Highlights
• | Employee compensation and benefits expense decreased $134 million from the second quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting lower incentive compensation, due to lower operating income and performance fees, and lower deferred compensation driven in part by the lower mark-to-market impact of certain deferred cash compensation programs, partially offset by higher base compensation. |
Employee compensation and benefits expense decreased $84 million from the first quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting lower incentive compensation and lower seasonal payroll taxes in the current quarter.
• | Direct fund expense decreased $25 million from the first quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting lower average AUM. |
• | General and administration expense increased $69 million from the second quarter of 2021, primarily driven by higher marketing and promotional expense, resulting from higher travel and entertainment expense, and higher technology expense. The increase also reflected higher occupancy and office related expense, including $15 million of noncash occupancy expense related to the lease of office space for the Company's future headquarters located at 50 Hudson Yards in New York ("Lease cost - Hudson Yards"), which it expects to begin to occupy in late 2022 (and begin lease payments in May 2023). Lease cost - Hudson Yards has been excluded from our "as adjusted" financial results. See pages 11 through 13 for the reconciliation to GAAP and notes (1) and (2) to the condensed consolidated statements of income and supplemental information for more information on as adjusted items. |
General and administration expense increased $34 million from the first quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting higher marketing and promotional expense, resulting from higher travel and entertainment expense.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION(unaudited)
BlackRock reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"); however, management believes evaluating the Company's ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP financial measures. Adjustments to GAAP financial measures ("non-GAAP adjustments") include certain items management deems nonrecurring or that occur infrequently, transactions that ultimately will not impact BlackRock's book value or certain tax items that do not impact cash flow. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to assess ongoing operations and considers them to be helpful, for both management and investors, in evaluating BlackRock's financial performance over time. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures as a benchmark to compare its performance with other companies and to enhance comparability for the reporting periods presented. Non-GAAP measures may pose limitations because they do not include all of BlackRock's revenue and expense. BlackRock's management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the Company updated its definition of operating income, as adjusted, operating margin, as adjusted, and net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, to include adjustments related to amortization of intangible assets, other acquisition-related costs, including compensation costs for nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation, and contingent consideration fair value adjustments incurred in connection with certain acquisitions. Such measures have been recast for 2021 to reflect the inclusion of such new adjustments. For further information, refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished on April 13, 2022.
Computations for all periods are derived from the condensed consolidated statements of income as follows:
(1) Operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted: Management believes operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, are effective indicators of BlackRock's financial performance over time, and, therefore, provide useful disclosure to investors. Management believes that operating margin, as adjusted, reflects the Company's long-term ability to manage ongoing costs in relation to its revenues. The Company uses operating margin, as adjusted, to assess the Company's financial performance, to determine the long-term and annual compensation of the Company's senior-level employees and to evaluate the Company's relative performance against industry peers. Furthermore, this metric eliminates margin variability arising from the accounting of revenues and expenses related to distributing different product structures in multiple distribution channels utilized by asset managers.
• | Operating income, as adjusted, includes non-GAAP expense adjustments. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the Company updated its definition of operating income, as adjusted, to include adjustments related to amortization of intangible assets, other acquisition-related costs, including compensation costs for nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation, and contingent consideration fair value adjustments incurred in connection with certain acquisitions. Management believes excluding the impact of these expenses when calculating operating income, as adjusted, provides a helpful indication of the Company's financial performance over time, thereby providing helpful information for both management and investors while also increasing comparability with other companies. In addition, as previously reported in 2021, the Company recorded expense related to the lease of office space for its future headquarters located at 50 Hudson Yards in New York ("Lease cost - Hudson Yards") from August 2021. While the Company expects to begin to occupy the new office space in late 2022 (and begin cash lease payments in May 2023), the Company was required to record lease expense when it obtained access to the building to begin its tenant improvements. As a result, the Company is recognizing lease expense for both its current and future headquarters until its current headquarters lease expires in April 2023. Management believes removing Lease cost - Hudson Yards when calculating operating income, as adjusted, is useful to assess the Company's financial performance and enhances comparability among periods presented. |
• | Operating income used for measuring operating margin, as adjusted, is equal to operating income, as adjusted, excluding the impact of product launch costs (e.g. closed-end fund launch costs) and related commissions. Management believes the exclusion of such costs and related commissions is useful because these costs can fluctuate considerably and revenue associated with the expenditure of these costs will not fully impact BlackRock's results until future periods. |
• | Revenue used for calculating operating margin, as adjusted, is reduced to exclude all of the Company's distribution fees, which are recorded as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of income, as well as a portion of investment advisory fees received that is used to pay distribution and servicing costs. For certain products, based on distinct arrangements, distribution fees are collected by the Company and then passed-through to third-party client intermediaries. For other products, investment advisory fees are collected by the Company and a portion is passed-through to third-party client intermediaries. However, in both structures, the third-party client intermediary similarly owns the relationship with the retail client and is responsible for distributing the product and servicing the client. The amount of distribution and investment advisory fees fluctuates each period primarily based on a predetermined percentage of the value of AUM during the period. These fees also vary based on the type of investment product sold and the geographic location where it is sold. In addition, the Company may waive fees on certain products that could result in the reduction of payments to the third-party intermediaries. |

(2) Net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted:Management believes net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, and diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, are useful measures of BlackRock's profitability and financial performance. Net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, equals net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., GAAP basis, adjusted for significant nonrecurring items, charges that ultimately will not impact BlackRock's book value or certain tax items that do not impact cash flow.
See note (1) above regarding operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, for information on the updated presentation of non-GAAP expense adjustments related to amortization of intangible assets, other acquisition-related costs, including compensation costs for nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation, and contingent consideration fair value adjustments incurred in connection with certain acquisitions, as well as previously reported Lease cost - Hudson Yards.
Per share amounts reflect net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.
(3)ACV: Management believes ACV is an effective metric for reviewing BlackRock's technology services' ongoing contribution to its operating results and provides comparability of this information among reporting periods while also providing a useful supplemental metric for both management and investors of BlackRock's growth in technology services revenue over time, as it is linked to the net new business in technology services. ACV represents forward-looking, annualized estimated value of the recurring subscription fees under client contracts, assuming all client contracts that come up for renewal are renewed, unless we received a notice of termination, even though such notice may not be effective until a later date. ACV also includes the annualized estimated value of new sales, for existing and new clients, when we execute client contracts, even though the recurring fees may not be effective until a later date and excludes nonrecurring fees such as implementation and consulting fees.
