BlackRock Reports Second Quarter 2025 Diluted EPS of $10.19, or $12.05 as adjusted

 

New York, July 15, 2025 – BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

$152 billion of year-to-date total net inflows led by a record first half for iShares® ETFs, alongside private markets and cash net inflows

$68 billion of quarterly total net inflows reflect impact of a single institutional client's $52 billion lower-fee index partial redemption

13% increase in revenue year-over-year reflects positive impact of markets, organic base fee growth and fees related to the GIP Transaction, as well as higher technology services and subscription revenue, partially offset by lower performance fees

4% decrease in year-over-year GAAP operating income primarily as a result of noncash acquisition-related expenses, which have been excluded from as-adjusted results

12% increase in year-over-year as adjusted operating income

2% increase in diluted EPS year-over-year (16% as adjusted) also reflects higher nonoperating income, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate and a higher diluted share count in the current quarter

$375 million of share repurchases in the current quarter

Closed acquisition of HPS Investment Partners on July 1st, adding $165 billion of client AUM and $118 billion of fee-paying AUM

 

Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO:

“For many years, BlackRock has worked to serve the ambitions of each and every client around the world – from the largest asset owners to individuals just getting their start with investing. We design and deliver strategies and products that fit their unique long-term needs and aspirations. We deliver in the way that best serves each client, whether it’s through whole portfolio solutions, opportunistic investments, or customized models and SMAs.

“Our expanding client relationships are resonating in higher, more diversified organic base fee growth. We generated 6% organic base fee growth for the second quarter and the first half of 2025, and 7% over the last twelve months.

“BlackRock’s sustained growth has been powered by our whole portfolio approach, being the first firm to bring together active and index at scale. And now we’re building on our foundational platform to redefine the whole portfolio once again by integrating public and private markets across asset management and technology.

“iShares ETFs had a record first half in flows, and technology ACV growth reached a fresh high of 16%. This core strength, alongside client demand for private markets, digital assets, Aperio, and our tech and data-driven systematic strategies, propelled another consecutive quarter of above-target organic base fee growth and record AUM of $12.5 trillion.

“We surpassed the fundraising target for GIP’s fifth flagship, raising $25.2 billion and delivering the largest-ever client capital raise in a private infrastructure fund. We announced the development of a custom target date fund glidepath that strategically allocates across public and private markets. And we’re attracting a new and increasingly global generation of investors through things like our digital assets offerings and recently launched funds in India through our joint venture Jio BlackRock.

“Our comprehensive platform and the depth of our client relationships set us apart from traditional or private markets firms in the industry. Our recent closing of HPS will help us build even more with clients as we head into our seasonally strongest second half of the year. These are just the early days in our next phase of even stronger growth.”

Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, BlackRock reclassified the presentation of the Company's investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue line items to align with the updated presentation of the Company's AUM line items. Such line items have been reclassified for 2024 to conform to this new presentation. See page 11 of Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished on April 11, 2025 for the reclassified presentation of the 2024 investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue line items.
(2)
Amounts include commodity ETFs and ETPs.

Highlights

Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $579 million from the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by organic base fee growth, the impact of market beta and foreign exchange movements on average AUM, and approximately $240 million of fees related to the GIP Transaction. Securities lending revenue of $171 million increased from $154 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting higher average balances of securities on loan.

Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $53 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by organic base fee growth, the impact of market beta and foreign exchange movements on average AUM, and the effect of one additional day in the quarter. Securities lending revenue of $171 million increased from $157 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher spreads.

Performance fees decreased $70 million from the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting lower revenue from private markets, liquid alternative and long-only products.

Performance fees increased $34 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher revenue from liquid alternative and private markets products.

Technology services and subscription revenue increased $104 million from the second quarter of 2024 and $63 million from the first quarter of 2025, reflecting the sustained demand for Aladdin® technology offerings and revenue from the acquisition of Preqin Holding Limited ("Preqin") in March 2025 (the "Preqin Transaction"), which added approximately $60 million to second quarter revenue. Technology services and subscription annual contract value (“ACV”)(1) increased 32% from the second quarter of 2024 including ACV acquired with the Preqin Transaction, and increased 16% excluding ACV acquired with the Preqin Transaction.

Highlights

Employee compensation and benefits expense increased $261 million from the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting the impact of the GIP and Preqin Transactions, including nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation expense(1), partially offset by the impact of lower performance fees.

Employee compensation and benefits expense increased $23 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting the impact of the Preqin Transaction and higher incentive compensation as a result of higher performance fees, partially offset by higher seasonal payroll taxes in the prior quarter.

Sales, asset and account expense increased $134 million from the second quarter of 2024 and $54 million from the first quarter of 2025, driven by higher direct fund expense and distribution and servicing costs, primarily reflecting higher average AUM.
General and administration expense increased $155 million from the second quarter of 2024, primarily associated with a higher noncash contingent consideration fair value adjustment(1) in connection with the GIP Transaction and higher technology expense.

General and administration expense decreased $22 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily associated with lower acquisition-related transaction costs(1) recorded in professional services expense and a lower noncash contingent consideration fair value adjustment(1) in connection with the GIP Transaction, partially offset by a higher impact from foreign exchange remeasurement.

Amortization of intangible assets(1) increased $98 million from the second quarter of 2024 and $20 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting amortization of intangible assets acquired in the GIP and Preqin Transactions.
A restructuring charge(1) of $39 million, comprised of severance and compensation expense for accelerated vesting of previously granted deferred compensation awards, was recorded in the second quarter of 2025 in connection with an initiative to modify our organization to fit more closely with strategic priorities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(1)
These expenses have been excluded from the Company's "as adjusted" financial results under the expense adjustments for acquisition-related costs and a restructuring charge, as applicable. See pages 14 through 16 for the reconciliation to GAAP and notes (1) through (3) for more information on as adjusted items.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (unaudited)

BlackRock reports its financial results in accordance with 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 financial 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 financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Computations and reconciliations 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 the following non-GAAP expense adjustments:
(a)
Compensation expense related to appreciation (depreciation) on deferred cash compensation plans. The Company excludes compensation expense related to the market valuation changes on certain deferred cash compensation plans, which the Company hedges economically. For these deferred cash compensation plans, the final value of the deferred amount to be distributed to employees in cash upon vesting is determined based on the returns on specified investment funds. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the appreciation (depreciation) of the deferred cash compensation liability in proportion to the vested amount of the award during a respective period, while the net gain (loss) to economically hedge these plans is immediately recognized in nonoperating income (expense), which creates a timing difference impacting net income. This timing difference will reverse and offset to zero over the life of the award at the end of the multi-year vesting period. Management believes excluding market valuation changes related to the deferred cash compensation plans in the calculation of operating income, as adjusted, provides useful disclosure to both management and investors of the Company’s financial performance over time as these amounts are economically hedged, while also increasing comparability with other companies.
(b)
Acquisition-related costs. Acquisition-related costs include adjustments related to amortization of intangible assets, contingent consideration fair value adjustments (primarily associated with noncash contingent consideration) incurred in connection with certain acquisitions and other acquisition-related costs, including compensation costs for nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation and general and administration expense primarily related to professional services. 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.
(c)
Restructuring charge. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a restructuring charge, comprised of
severance and compensation expense for accelerated vesting of previously granted deferred compensation awards, in connection with an initiative to modify our organization to fit more closely with strategic priorities. Management believes excluding the impact of this restructuring charge when calculating operating income, as adjusted, is useful to assess the Company’s financial performance and ongoing operations, and enhances comparability among periods presented.
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) Nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted: Management believes nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, is an effective measure for reviewing BlackRock’s nonoperating contribution to its results and provides comparability of this information among reporting periods. Nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, excludes the gain (loss) on the economic hedge of certain deferred cash compensation plans. As the gain (loss) on investments and derivatives used to hedge these compensation plans over time substantially offsets the compensation expense related to the market valuation changes on these deferred cash compensation plans, which is included in operating income, GAAP basis, management believes excluding the gain (loss) on the economic hedge of the deferred cash compensation plans when calculating nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI, as adjusted, provides a useful measure for both management and investors of BlackRock’s nonoperating results that impact book value.

(3) 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 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.

For each period presented, the non-GAAP adjustments were tax effected at the respective blended rates applicable to the adjustments. In addition, the non-GAAP adjustment in the second quarter of 2025 related to contingent consideration fair value adjustments includes a tax impact associated with the deductibility of contingent consideration. In addition, the amount for income tax matters in 2024 included a discrete tax benefit of $137 million recognized in connection with the reorganization and establishment of a more efficient global intellectual property and technology platform and corporate structure. This discrete tax benefit has been excluded from as adjusted results due to the nonrecurring nature of the intellectual property reorganization.

Per share amounts reflect net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

(4) ACV: Management believes ACV is an effective metric for reviewing BlackRock’s technology services and subscription's 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 and subscription revenue over time, as it is linked to the net new business in technology and subscription 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 have 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.
