BlackRock Reports Third Quarter 2025 Diluted EPS of $8.43, or $11.55 as adjusted

 

New York, October 14, 2025 – BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

$205 billion of quarterly total net inflows led by a record quarter for iShares® ETFs, alongside private markets and cash net inflows

10% annualized organic base fee growth in the quarter reflects broad-based strength across iShares ETFs, systematic active equities, private markets, outsourcing and cash

25% increase in revenue year-over-year reflects the positive impact of markets, 8% organic base fee growth over the last twelve months, fees related to the GIP and HPS Transactions, and higher technology services and subscription revenue

3% decrease in year-over-year GAAP operating income and 23% decrease in GAAP diluted EPS impacted by noncash acquisition-related expenses, which have been excluded from as-adjusted results

23% increase in year-over-year as adjusted operating income

1% increase in year-over-year as adjusted diluted EPS also reflects lower nonoperating income and a higher diluted share count, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate in the current quarter

$375 million worth of share repurchases in the current quarter

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

 

Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO:

“BlackRock delivered one of our strongest quarterly flows results, with net inflows of $205 billion, powering 10% organic base fee growth in the third quarter and 8% over the last twelve months. That growth is even more notable in its diversification. Top organic base fee growth contributors included our systematic franchise, private markets, digital assets, outsourcing, cash and iShares ETFs, which saw record demand. BlackRock’s multiple sources of growth differentiate us and are resonating through accelerating client activity across our platform. We believe our results are a powerful validation of our hyper-local client engagement model and forward-looking investments.

“BlackRock is always preparing for the future, investing ahead of client needs and in support of deepening capital markets. Technology and data analytics, ETFs, private markets, and digital assets are just a few examples where we invested and built leading positions. We’ve brought together the strengths of GIP, HPS, and Preqin, and together we’re already driving landmark fundraising and deal flow, accelerating client engagement, and double-digit organic revenue growth over the last year.

“Clients around the world are coming to BlackRock for deeper, more dynamic partnerships across public and private asset classes. AUM reached a new high of $13.5 trillion, and our iShares and cash franchises surpassed new AUM milestones of $5 trillion and $1 trillion, respectively.

“We’re executing on some of the largest and most multifaceted mandates in our history, as clients choose BlackRock for portfolio management and technology across the full range of capital markets.

“We’re entering our seasonally strongest fourth quarter with building momentum and a fully unified platform. One that’s anchored by a public-private investment model, backed by Aladdin technology, and united by a shared culture of performance and client service. I believe the scale of the opportunity ahead for BlackRock, our clients and shareholders far exceeds what we’ve ever seen before.”

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 $1.0 billion from the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by organic base fee growth, the impact of market beta on average AUM, and approximately $215 million and $225 million of fees related to the GIP and HPS Transactions, respectively. Securities lending revenue of $203 million increased from $149 million in the third quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting higher spreads and average balances of securities on loan.

Investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue increased $592 million from the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by organic base fee growth, the impact of market beta on average AUM, approximately $225 million of fees related to the HPS Transaction and the effect of one additional day in the quarter. Securities lending revenue of $203 million increased from $171 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher spreads.

Performance fees increased $128 million from the third quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting higher revenue from private markets, including the impact of the HPS Transaction, partially offset by lower revenue from liquid alternative products, largely related to the strong performance from a single hedge fund in the third quarter of 2024 with an annual performance measurement period that ends in the third quarter.

Performance fees increased $422 million from the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher revenue from private markets, including the impact of the HPS Transaction, and higher revenue from liquid alternative products.

Technology services and subscription revenue increased $112 million from the third quarter of 2024 and $16 million from the second 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 $65 million to third quarter revenue. Technology services and subscription annual contract value (“ACV”)(1) increased 29% from the third quarter of 2024 including ACV related to Preqin, and increased 13% excluding ACV related to Preqin.

Highlights

Employee compensation and benefits expense increased $779 million from the third quarter of 2024 and $593 million from the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting the impact of the GIP and HPS Transactions, including nonrecurring retention-related deferred compensation expense(1) and the impact of higher operating income and performance fees.
Sales, asset and account expense increased $200 million from the third quarter of 2024 and $99 million from the second quarter of 2025, driven by higher distribution and servicing costs and direct fund expense, primarily reflecting higher average AUM.
General and administration expense increased $220 million from the third quarter of 2024 and $93 million from the second quarter of 2025, primarily associated with the impact of the GIP and HPS Transactions, including higher noncash contingent consideration fair value adjustments(1) and higher acquisition-related transaction costs(1) recorded in professional services expense, as well as higher technology expense, and occupancy and office related expense.
Amortization and impairment of intangible assets(1) increased $164 million from the third quarter of 2024 and $116 million from the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting amortization of intangible assets acquired in the HPS, GIP and Preqin Transactions. In addition, amortization and impairment of intangible assets in the third quarter of 2024 included the impact of a $50 million noncash impairment charge related to certain of the Company's indefinite-lived management contracts.
In the second quarter of 2025, 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 connection with an initiative to modify the Company's 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 and noncash impairment 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 - CIPs, as adjusted: Management believes nonoperating income (expense), less net income (loss) attributable to NCI - CIPs, 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 - CIPs, 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 - CIPs, 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.

In addition, beginning in the third quarter of 2025, in connection with the HPS Transaction, the Company updated its definition of net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding, as adjusted, to assume all outstanding Subco Units issued as part of the consideration for the HPS Transaction have been exchanged in accordance with their terms on a one-for-one basis into common stock of BlackRock, as Subco Units will be exchangeable at the option of the holder when exchange rights begin. Accordingly, the noncontrolling interest related to these Subco Units has been included as part of net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted. Management believes that these updated non-GAAP measures are useful indicators of BlackRock’s profitability and enhance comparability among periods presented, and therefore are useful to investors.
Per share amounts reflect net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted, divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding, as adjusted.

(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.
