PITTSBURGH, April 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Federated Hermes, Inc. (NYSE: FHI), a leading global investment manager, today reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.63 for Q1 2020, compared to $0.54 for the same quarter last year, on net income of $64.2 million for Q1 2020, compared to $54.5 million for Q1 2019.
Federated Hermes' total managed assets were a record $605.8 billion at March 31, 2020, up $120.9 billion or 25% from $484.9 billion at March 31, 2019 and up $29.9 billion or 5% from $575.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2019. Total average managed assets for Q1 2020 were $580.2 billion, up $104.8 billion or 22% from $475.4 billion reported for Q1 2019 and up $30.1 billion or 5% from $550.1 billion reported for Q4 2019.
"As the coronavirus challenges the world, we are inspired by the front-line health care workers and others who are leading the fight against it as well as the sacrifices made by many to help reduce the virus' spread," said J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer. "We also are thankful for the resiliency of our employees, who have adapted company operations while more than 95% of them successfully work remotely. They are simultaneously managing a variety of complications, from the isolation of social distancing to challenges such as educating their children at home—all while continuing to meet our clients' needs and providing excellent customer service."
"In the first quarter, Federated Hermes saw interest in our Kaufmann growth strategies, which invest in companies seeking to capitalize on innovation," Donahue said. "Investors seeking haven from volatile markets turned to our liquidity strategies, while we also experienced net sales in various long-term strategies, including Hermes global equity and SDG engagement funds, the Federated Government Ultrashort Duration Fund and the Federated Prudent Bear Fund."
Federated Hermes' board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share. The dividend is payable on May 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as of May 11, 2020. During Q1 2020, Federated Hermes purchased 714,251 shares of Federated Hermes class B common stock for $16.0 million.
Equity assets were $68.2 billion at March 31, 2020, down $12.0 billion or 15% from $80.2 billion at March 31, 2019 and down $20.8 billion or 23% from $89.0 billion at Dec. 31, 2019. The decreases largely resulted from declines in the market value of investments from the impact of the coronavirus. Top-selling equity funds during Q1 2020 on a net basis were Federated Kaufmann Small Cap Fund, Hermes Global Emerging Markets Fund, Hermes SDG Engagement Equity Fund, Hermes Global Equity ESG Fund and Federated Kaufmann Large Cap Fund.
Fixed-income assets were $64.7 billion at March 31, 2020, up $0.6 billion or 1% from $64.1 billion at March 31, 2019 and down $4.3 billion or 6% from $69.0 billion at Dec. 31, 2019.

Financial Summary
Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019
Revenue increased $52.1 million or 17% primarily due to higher average money market and equity assets.
During Q1 2020, Federated Hermes derived 56% of its revenue from long-term assets (38% from equity assets, 13% from fixed-income assets and 5% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 43% from money market assets, and 1% from sources other than managed assets.
Operating expenses increased $30.3 million or 13% primarily due to an increase in distribution expenses associated with higher average money market fund assets.
Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $8.7 million due to a decrease in the market value of investments, which declined primarily due to the coronavirus' impact on the markets. This decrease was partially offset by a gain from a fair value adjustment to the equity investment of a previously nonconsolidated entity.
Q1 2020 vs. Q4 2019
Revenue increased $1.2 million primarily due to higher average money market assets.
Operating expenses increased $11.2 million or 4% primarily due to an increase in compensation and related expenses as well as distribution expenses associated with higher average money market fund assets.
Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $15.9 million due to a decrease in the market value of investments, which declined primarily due to the coronavirus' impact on the markets. This decrease was partially offset by a gain from a fair value adjustment to the equity investment of a previously nonconsolidated entity.
