Ci financial reports financial results for the second quarter of 2022
Toronto--(business wire)--ci financial corp. (“ci”) (tsx: cix, nyse: cixx) today released financial results for the quarter ended june 30, 2022. “these results validate our corporate strategy and capital allocation policies,” said kurt macalpine, ci chief executive officer. “our expansion in wealth management in the united states and canada has added stability and diversification to our business, with our u.s. operations making increasing contributions to revenues and earnings. despite continued volatility in capital markets, we achieved year-over-year growth in overall ebitda, earnings per share and free cash flow per share.1 “while the canadian fund industry had total redemptions of $19 billion during the quarter, our flows in canadian retail asset management were relatively stable, supported by improving overall investment performance and several successful product launches,” mr. macalpine said. “we continue to advance our u.s. wealth management strategy, both through acquisitions of selected, high-quality rias and through an array of initiatives to capture synergies, expand our services and support to clients, and foster organic growth. the success of these programs can be seen in the attractive, growing margins of our u.s. business.” operating and financial data highlights [millions of dollars, except share amounts] as of and for the quarters ended jun. 30, 2022 mar. 31, 2022 dec. 31, 2021

excluding non-operating items, adjusted net income declined to $149.1 million in the quarter from $166.8 million in the first quarter of 2022 as higher earnings in ci’s u.s. and canadian wealth businesses were more than offset by lower earnings from the asset management segment due to the pressure on global financial assets. second quarter total net revenues declined 10.6% to $566.7 million in the quarter from $633.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. excluding non-operating items, adjusted total net revenue fell 3.9% to $598.3 million, primarily driven by lower revenues from the asset management segment due to lower average aum. second quarter total expenses declined 22.4% to $347.7 million in the quarter from $448.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. excluding non-operating items, adjusted total expenses were essentially unchanged at $386.0 million, reflecting disciplined cost controls in a challenging operating environment, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions that closed during the quarter. capital allocation in the second quarter of 2022, ci repurchased 4.1 million shares at a cost of $59.8 million, for an average cost of $14.67 per share, and paid $34.7 million in dividends at a rate of $0.18 per share. the board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share, payable on january 13, 2023 to shareholders of record on december 30, 2022. the annual dividend rate of $0.72 per share represented a yield of 4.9% on ci’s closing share price of $14.67 on august 10, 2022. second quarter business highlights ci announced its intention to sell up to 20% of its u.s. wealth management business via a u.s. initial public offering (“ipo”). ci stated that it intends to use the net proceeds from the ipo to pay down debt, and that a final decision on the ipo size, conditions and timing is pending and will be subject to market conditions. ci completed the acquisitions of two registered investment advisors (“rias”): corient capital partners, llc, of newport beach, california, which serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families across the united states, and galapagos partners, lp of houston, a multi-family office serving wealthy families and individuals. both transactions closed on april 29, 2022. ci private wealth us, llc applied for a charter to establish and operate a south dakota trust company, which, when granted, will allow ci’s wealth management business to offer administrative trust solutions. ci completed the acquisition of toronto-based northwood family office ltd., giving ci a leading presence in the country’s multi-family office segment. the transaction was completed on april 1, 2022. in the latest initiatives to modernize ci’s asset management business, ci global asset management (“ci gam”) continued to enhance and broaden its product lineup. the firm introduced a private infrastructure investment solution managed by harbourvest partners, a global leader in private markets investing. ci gam also launched ci galaxy blockchain etf, ci galaxy metaverse etf and ci floating rate income fund (etf series). additionally, ci gam claimed compliance with the global investment performance standards (“gips®”) from cfa institute. the gips standards are universal and voluntary standards based on the fundamental principles of full disclosure and fair representation of investment
