BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.
“BlackRock’s third quarter results reflect the continued growth of our global investment and technology platform and the trusted relationships we have built with our clients,” commented Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock. “Our ability to create investment solutions from a broad range of products – spanning index to illiquid alternatives – combined with industry leading technology and risk management, is resonating with clients and driving more impactful interactions than ever before. As we deepen and expand our relationships with clients and partners, we recognize and embrace the growing responsibility we have on a daily basis to help them achieve their goals.
“Strong organic asset and base fee growth are a direct result of the investments we are making in our platform. We saw $96 billion of total net inflows in the third quarter. This brings year-to-date total organic growth to $264 billion, already surpassing our total flows for the full year of 2016.
“iShares® third quarter net inflows of $52 billion were diversified across both core and non-core strategies. Our continued investment in the iShares franchise, including product innovation, investor education and digital distribution, is driving accelerated growth and increased market share. During the third quarter, we again achieved the #1 market share of ETF flows globally, in both the United States and Europe, and in both equity and fixed income.
“In today’s markets, clients rely on both index and alpha-seeking building blocks to achieve their desired outcomes. Strong investment performance drove third quarter net inflows of $6 billion in our active platform, led by fixed income and multi-asset offerings, which contributed to our strong organic base fee growth during the quarter.
“Technology and risk management revenue, powered by Aladdin®, increased 15% year-over-year as institutions turn to BlackRock for our risk management and analytics capabilities. As technology continues to enhance our alpha-generation and distribution capabilities, and continues to drive efficiencies in our operational infrastructure, it is becoming a larger focus of investment across the entire platform. Our technology investments are contributing significantly to both organic growth and revenue growth and will be critical to driving operating leverage over time.
“With regulation, technology and market forces transforming the ecosystem for asset and wealth managers globally, BlackRock is at the forefront of change in the industry. As our focus remains on the long-term, we continue to purposefully and prudently invest in the future of our business, reinforcing our differentiated ability to serve clients and generate long-term value for shareholders.”

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
Long-term net inflows were positive across all major regions, with net inflows of $42.3 billion, $23.6 billion and $9.9 billion from clients in the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. At September 30, 2017, BlackRock managed 64% of its long-term AUM for clients in the Americas, 28% for clients in EMEA and 8% for clients in Asia-Pacific.
The Company’s net flows by client type for the third quarter of 2017 are presented below.
- Retail long-term net inflows of $7.4 billion reflected net inflows of $3.7 billion in the United States and $3.7 billion internationally. Fixed income net inflows of $4.6 billion were diversified across our top-performing active platform, led by net inflows into unconstrained, municipal and emerging market debt categories. Equity net inflows of $1.7 billion reflected inflows into index mutual funds. Multi-asset net inflows of $1.0 billion were largely due to inflows into the Multi-asset Income fund family, partially offset by outflows from world allocation strategies.
- iShares ETFs long-term net inflows of $52.3 billion reflected strength in iShares Core, precision exposure and financial instrument ETFs. Equity net inflows of $33.1 billion were driven by both U.S. and international equity market exposures. Fixed income net inflows of $17.5 billion reflected inflows into treasury, investment grade corporate and broad fixed income funds. Commodities iShares generated $1.5 billion of net inflows.
- Institutional active long-term net inflows of $0.2 billion were led by multi-asset net inflows of $3.5 billion, reflecting ongoing demand for the LifePath® target-date series and factors strategies, and fixed income net inflows of $0.5 billion. Equity net outflows of $3.3 billion were driven by fundamental and scientific active equities. Alternatives had net outflows of $0.5 billion (including $0.6 billion return of capital).
- Institutional index long-term net inflows of $16.0 billion included fixed income net inflows of $36.9 billion, driven by demand for liability-driven solutions, partially offset by equity net outflows of $19.6 billion.
Cash management AUM increased 6% to $425.4 billion, driven by $20.4 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 nine months ended September 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.
