BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
“BlackRock’s second quarter results reflect the trust our clients continue to place in our global investment and technology platform,” commented Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock.
“While significant cash remains on the sidelines, investors have begun to put more of their assets to work. The strength and breadth of BlackRock’s platform generated a record $94 billion of long-term net inflows in the quarter, positive across all client and product types, and investment styles. The organic growth that BlackRock is experiencing is a direct result of the investments we’ve made over time to build our platform.
“The combination of BlackRock’s differentiated technology, scale and broad base of investment strategies, including market-cap weighted index products, a spectrum of active offerings from smart beta and factors to high conviction alpha strategies, as well as illiquid alternatives, positions us as the partner of choice to deliver outcomes for both institutional and retail clients.
“iShares® assets under management crossed $1.5 trillion as momentum continued in the second quarter, with a record $74 billion of net inflows. Growth was balanced among iShares Core funds, precision exposures and financial instruments, demonstrating that ETFs are no longer used only as passive allocations, but increasingly by active investors to generate alpha in their portfolios. We continue to focus investments in distribution, portfolio construction technology and ETF education as iShares growth opportunities migrate more rapidly to accelerating adoption and new uses of ETFs.
“Both institutional and retail clients continue to search for yield. BlackRock’s active strategies generated $8 billion of net inflows, led by multi-asset, fixed income and alternative offerings, contributing to strong organic base fee growth this quarter.
“We’ve seen strong fundraising momentum in illiquid alternatives, with $9 billion in flows and commitments year-to-date, as the investments we’ve made in our platform over time are resonating with clients.
“Going forward, technology-enabled scale will be critical for every aspect of an asset manager’s business: client service, alpha-generation and operational excellence. BlackRock’s technology and risk management revenue grew 12% year-over-year, driven by Aladdin®. In addition, our first three Aladdin Risk for Wealth Management clients are now live on the platform, benefitting from greater risk transparency and portfolio construction capabilities. We continued to expand our digital distribution offerings this quarter with the announced acquisition of Cachematrix and minority investment in Scalable Capital. Both transactions illustrate BlackRock’s use of technology to provide enhanced value and innovative solutions for clients.
“I have never seen more opportunity than I do today for BlackRock to help investors achieve their financial goals. As we look to provide increased value both for clients and shareholders, we will continue to strategically invest for enhanced growth going forward.”

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
Long-term net inflows of $96.2 billion and $6.2 billion from clients in the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions, respectively, were partially offset by net outflows of $8.9 billion from clients in EMEA. At June 30, 2017, BlackRock managed 64% of its long-term AUM for investors in the Americas and 36% for clients in EMEA and Asia-Pacific.
The Company’s net flows by client type for the second quarter of 2017 are presented below.
- Retail long-term net inflows of $6.5 billion reflected net inflows of $3.5 billion internationally and $3.0 billion in the United States. Fixed income net inflows of $7.1 billion were diversified across our top-performing platform, led by net inflows into municipal, total return and unconstrained categories. Equity net outflows of $0.6 billion reflected outflows from European and US equities. Multi-asset net outflows of $0.1 billion were largely due to outflows from world allocation strategies.
- iShares ETFs long-term net inflows of $73.8 billion reflected strength in precision exposure, financial instrument and iShares Core ETFs. Equity net inflows of $51.8 billion were driven by both US and international equity market exposures. Fixed income net inflows of $21.0 billion reflected inflows into investment grade corporate, emerging markets debt and treasury bond funds. Commodities iShares generated $0.7 billion of net inflows.
- Institutional active long-term net inflows of $4.6 billion were led by multi-asset net inflows of $9.5 billion reflecting ongoing demand for the LifePath® target-date series. Alternatives net inflows of $1.7 billion were led by flows into infrastructure offerings. Equity net outflows of $4.4 billion were largely due to outflows from scientific active and fundamental US equities.
- Institutional index long-term net inflows of $8.7 billion reflected fixed income net inflows of $17.1 billion, partially offset by equity net outflows of $8.5 billion.
Cash management AUM increased 4% to $402.6 billion, driven by $10.2 billion of net inflows.

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. Management reviews non-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 the comparability of this information 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.
Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating BlackRock’s financial performance. 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.
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.
- Operating income, as adjusted, includes non-GAAP expense adjustments. The portion of compensation expense associated with certain long-term incentive plans (“LTIP”) funded, or to be funded, through share distributions to participants of BlackRock stock held by The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) has been excluded because it ultimately does not impact BlackRock’s book value. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, a restructuring charge comprised of severance and accelerated amortization expense of previously granted deferred compensation awards has been excluded to provide an analysis of BlackRock’s ongoing operations and to ensure comparability among periods presented.
- Revenue used for operating margin, as adjusted, excludes distribution and servicing costs paid to related parties and other third parties. Management believes such costs represent a benchmark for the amount of revenue passed through to external parties who distribute the Company’s products. In addition, management believes the exclusion of such costs is useful because it creates consistency in the treatment for certain contracts for similar services, which due to the terms of the contracts, are accounted for under GAAP on a net basis within investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue. Amortization of deferred sales commissions is excluded from revenue used for operating margin measurement, as adjusted, because such costs, over time, substantially offset distribution fee revenue the Company earns. For each of these items, BlackRock excludes from revenue used for operating margin, as adjusted, the costs related to each of these items as a proxy for such offsetting revenue.
(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 aforementioned discussion regarding operating income, as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, for information on the PNC LTIP funding obligation and the restructuring charge.
For each period presented, the non-GAAP adjustment related to the restructuring charge and PNC LTIP funding obligation was tax effected at the respective blended rates applicable to the adjustments. Amounts for income tax matters represent net noncash (benefits) expense primarily associated with the revaluation of certain deferred tax liabilities related to intangible assets and goodwill. Amounts have been excluded from the as adjusted results as these items will not have a cash flow impact and to ensure comparability among periods presented.
Per share amounts reflect net income attributable to BlackRock, Inc., as adjusted divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
(3) Nonvoting participating preferred stock is considered to be a common stock equivalent for purposes of determining basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
