Pzena Investment Management, Inc. Reports Results for the First Quarter of 2021

  • Pzena reports first quarter 2021 Diluted EPS of $0.24.
  • Assets under management ends the first quarter at $49.2 billion.
  • Q1 2021 revenue increases 32 percent to $45.9 million from Q1 2020.
  • Board declares a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share.

NEW YORK, April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pzena Investment Management, Inc. (NYSE: PZN) reported the following U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basic and diluted net income and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

    GAAP Basis
    For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
    2021   2020
       
    (unaudited)  
Basic Net Income   $ 4,187     $  
Basic Earnings per Share   $ 0.24     $  
                 
Diluted Net Income   $ 19,731     $  
Diluted Earnings per Share   $ 0.24     $  

GAAP diluted net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share were $19.7 million and $0.24, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. GAAP diluted net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share were both zero for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

In evaluating the results of operations, management also reviews adjusted measures of earnings, which are adjusted to exclude accounting items that add a measure of non-operational complexity which obscures the underlying performance of the business. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, no adjustments were made to GAAP earnings. Management uses the as adjusted measures to assess the strength of the underlying operations of the business. It believes the as adjusted measures provide information to further analyze the Company’s operations between periods and over time. Furthermore, management targets a cash dividend payout ratio at approximately 60% to 70% of our as adjusted diluted net income, subject to growth initiatives and other funding needs. Investors should consider the as adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net income for diluted earnings per share generally assumes all operating company membership units are converted into Company stock at the beginning of the reporting period, and the resulting change to Company net income associated with its increased interest in the operating company, is taxed at the Company’s effective tax rate, exclusive of the adjustments noted above and other adjustments. When this conversion results in an increase in earnings per share or a decrease in loss per share, diluted net income and diluted earnings per share are assumed to be equal to basic net income and basic earnings per share for the reporting period.

Pzena Funds     4,696       5,164       3,274  
Total   $ 45,871     $ 39,861     $ 34,679  

Revenue was approximately $45.9 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 15.1% from $39.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, and an increase of 32.3% from $34.7 million for the first quarter of 2020.

There were no performance fees recognized in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $1.1 million of performance fees recognized during the fourth quarter of 2020. There were no performance fees recognized in the first quarter of 2020.

Average assets under management for the first quarter of 2021 were $45.4 billion, increasing 20.4% from $37.7 billion for the fourth quarter of 2020, and increasing 28.2% from $35.4 billion for the first quarter of 2020. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2020, primarily reflects market appreciation during the first quarter of 2021.

The weighted average fee rate was 0.404% for the first quarter of 2021, decreasing from 0.423% for the fourth quarter of 2020, and increasing from 0.391% for the first quarter of 2020.

The weighted average fee rate for separately managed accounts was 0.545% for the first quarter of 2021, decreasing from 0.557% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and increasing from 0.526% for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily reflects the shift of assets to certain strategies that typically carry lower fee rates. The increase from the first quarter of 2020 primarily reflects the addition of assets to certain strategies that typically carry higher fee rates.

The weighted average fee rate for sub-advised accounts was 0.270% for the first quarter of 2021, 0.272% for the fourth quarter of 2020, and 0.266% for the first quarter of 2020. Certain accounts related to one retail client relationship have fulcrum fee arrangements. These fee arrangements require a reduction in the base fee or allow for a performance fee if the relevant investment strategy underperforms or outperforms, respectively, the agreed-upon benchmark over the contract’s measurement period, which extends to three years. During the each of the first quarter of 2021, fourth quarter of 2020, and first quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a $1.0 million reduction in base fees related to this client relationship. To the extent the three-year performance record of this account fluctuates relative to its relevant benchmark, the amount of base fees recognized may vary.

The weighted average fee rate for Pzena funds was 0.681% for the first quarter of 2021, decreasing from 0.893% for the fourth quarter of 2020, and increasing from 0.625% for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily reflects performance fees recognized in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase from the first quarter of 2020 primarily reflects the shift of assets to certain strategies that typically carry higher fee rates.

Total operating expenses were $22.8 million for the first quarter of 2021, increasing from $21.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and decreasing from $23.6 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in operating expenses from the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily reflects compensation expenses recognized in the first quarter associated with tax payments and the Company’s employee profit sharing and savings plan, which generally do not recur during the year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses from the first quarter of 2020 primarily reflects a decrease in travel and entertainment and professional fees.

The operating margin was 50.2% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 45.7% for the fourth quarter of 2020, and 32.1% for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in operating margin from the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2020 is primarily driven by the increase in revenue.
