Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “forecast,” “project,” “predict,” “trend,” “approximate,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “current,” “intention,” “estimate,” “position,” “projection,” “plan,” “assume,” “continue,” “remain,” “maintain,” “sustain,” “seek,” “achieve,” and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar expressions. Among other forward-looking statements, such statements include certain statements relating to, or, as applicable, statements concerning management’s assessments, beliefs, expectations, assumptions, judgments, projections or estimates regarding: asset flows, levels, values and mix and their impact; projected growth rates, projected pre-tax profit margins, discount rates, and the possibility and potential impact of impairments; business mix; the level, timing, degree and impact of changes in interest rates or gross or net yields; money market funds’ potential yield advantage in a falling interest rate environment; rates of inflation; fee rates and recognition; sources, levels and recognition of revenues, expenses, gains, losses, income and earnings; the level and impact of reimbursements, rebates or assumptions of fund-related expenses and fee waivers for competitive reasons such as to maintain positive or zero net yields (Voluntary Yield-related Fee Waivers), to maintain certain fund expense ratios, to meet regulatory requirements or to meet contractual requirements (collectively, Fee Waivers); whether, under what circumstances and the degree to which Fee Waivers will be implemented; the impact of market volatility, liquidity, and other market conditions; whether performance fees or carried interest will be earned or clawed back; whether and when revenue or expense is recognized; whether and when capital contributions could be made, the availability of insurance and probability of insurance reimbursements or recoveries in connection with indemnification obligations or other claims; the components and level of, and prospect for, distribution-related expenses; guarantee and indemnification obligations; the impact of acquisitions on Federated Hermes’ growth; the timing and amount of acquisition-related payment obligations; the results of negotiations involving consideration in business transactions; payment obligations pursuant to employment or incentive and business arrangements; vesting rights and requirements; business and market expansion opportunities; interest and principal payments or expenses; taxes and tax rates; borrowing, debt, future cash needs and principal uses of cash, cash flows and liquidity, including the amount and timing of expected future capital expenditures; the ability to raise additional capital; type, classification and consolidation of investments; uses of treasury stock; Federated Hermes’ product, strategy, and other service (as applicable, offering) and market performance and Federated Hermes’ performance indicators; investor preferences; offering demand, distribution, development and restructuring initiatives and related planning and timing; the effect, and degree of impact, of changes in customer relationships; the outcome and impact of legal proceedings; regulatory matters, including the pace, timing, impact, effects and other consequences of the current regulatory environment; the attractiveness and resiliency of money market funds; dedication of resources; accounting-related assessments, judgements and determinations; compliance, and related legal,


compliance and other professional services expenses; and interest rate, concentration, market, currency and other risks and their impact. Any forward-looking statement is inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond Federated Hermes’ control. Among other risks and uncertainties, market conditions can change significantly and impact Federated Hermes’ business and results, including by changing Federated Hermes’ asset flows, levels, and mix, and business mix, which could cause a decline in revenues and net income, result in impairments and change the amount of Fee Waivers incurred by Federated Hermes. The obligation to make purchase price payments in connection with acquisitions is subject to certain adjustments and conditions, and the obligation to make contingent payments is based on net revenue growth levels and will be affected by the achievement of such levels. The obligation to make additional payments pursuant to employment or incentive arrangements can be based on satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in those arrangements. Future cash needs, cash flows and uses of cash will be impacted by a variety of factors, including the number and size of any acquisitions, Federated Hermes’ success in developing, structuring and distributing its offerings, potential changes in assets under management (AUM) and/or changes in the terms of distribution and shareholder services contracts with intermediaries who offer Federated Hermes’ offerings to intermediary customers, opportunities to repurchase shares, and potential increased legal, compliance and other professional services expenses stemming from additional or modified regulation or the dedication of such resources to other initiatives. Federated Hermes’ risks and uncertainties also include liquidity and credit risks in Federated Hermes’ money market funds and revenue risk, which will be affected by yield levels in money market fund offerings, Fee Waivers, changes in fair values of AUM, any additional regulatory reforms, investor preferences and confidence, and the ability of Federated Hermes to collect fees in connection with the management of such offerings. Many of these factors could be more likely to occur as a result of continued scrutiny of the mutual fund industry by domestic or foreign regulators, and any disruption in global financial markets. As a result, no assurance can be given as to future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements, and neither Federated Hermes nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness, or updating, of such statements in the future. For more information on these items and additional risks that could impact the forward-looking statements, see Item 1A - Risk Factors included in Federated Hermes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation
Federated Hermes, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, Federated Hermes) provide investment advisory, administrative, distribution and other services to various investment products, including sponsored investment companies, collective funds and other funds (Federated Hermes Funds) and separate accounts (which include separately managed accounts, institutional accounts, certain sub-advised funds and other managed products, collectively Separate Accounts) in both domestic and international markets. In addition, Federated Hermes markets and provides stewardship and real estate development services to various domestic and international companies. The interim consolidated financial statements of Federated Hermes included herein (Consolidated Financial Statements) have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein and in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Federated Hermes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain items reported in previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU updates reportable segment disclosures by expanding the frequency and extent of segment disclosures. The update is effective for Federated Hermes for the December 31, 2024 Form 10-K, and for interim periods starting in fiscal year 2025. Early adoption is permitted and requires the retrospective adoption method. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on Federated Hermes’ disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU updates income tax disclosures by requiring annual disclosures of disaggregated information, based on meeting a quantitative threshold, about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The update is effective for Federated Hermes for the December 31, 2025 Form 10-K, with early adoption permitted, and allows for either the prospective or retrospective adoption method. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on Federated Hermes’ disclosures. Management does not plan to early adopt this update and will elect the retrospective transition method.
(3) Significant Accounting Policies

Federated Hermes expects to recognize revenue in the future related to the unsatisfied portion of the stewardship services and real estate development performance obligations at September 30, 2024. Generally, contracts are billed in arrears on a quarterly basis and have a three-year duration, after which the customer can terminate the agreement with notice, generally from three to twelve months. Based on existing contracts and the applicable foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes may recognize future fixed revenue from these services as presented in the following table:

A significant and prolonged decline in the AUM in these funds could have a material adverse effect on Federated Hermes’ future revenues and, to a lesser extent, net income, due to a related reduction in distribution expenses associated with these funds.
(c) Revenue Concentration by Intermediary
Approximately 10% of Federated Hermes’ total revenue for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, and 11% for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, was derived from services provided to one intermediary, The Bank of New York Corporation, including its Pershing subsidiary. Significant negative changes in Federated Hermes’ relationship with this intermediary could have a material adverse effect on Federated Hermes’ future revenues and, to a lesser extent, net income due to a related reduction in distribution expenses associated with this intermediary.
(6) Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Federated Hermes, certain Federated Hermes Funds, carried interest vehicles and other entities in which Federated Hermes holds a controlling financial interest. Federated Hermes is involved with various entities in the normal course of business that may be deemed to be voting rights entities (VREs) or variable interest entities (VIEs). From time to time, Federated Hermes invests in Federated Hermes Funds for general corporate investment purposes or, in the case of newly launched offerings, in order to provide investable cash to establish a performance history. Federated Hermes’ investment in, and/or receivables from, these Federated Hermes Funds represents its maximum exposure to loss. The assets of each consolidated Federated Hermes Fund are restricted for use by that Federated Hermes Fund.
11
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)

Generally, neither creditors of, nor equity investors in, the Federated Hermes Funds have any recourse to Federated Hermes’ general credit. Given that the entities consolidated by Federated Hermes generally follow investment company accounting, which prescribes fair-value accounting, a deconsolidation generally does not result in the recognition of gains or losses for Federated Hermes.
In the ordinary course of business, Federated Hermes could implement fee waivers, rebates or expense reimbursements for various Federated Hermes Funds for competitive reasons (such as waivers to maintain the yields of certain money market funds at or above zero (Voluntary Yield-related Fee Waivers) or to maintain certain fund expense ratios/yields), to meet regulatory requirements or to meet contractual requirements (collectively, Fee Waivers). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Fee Waivers totaled $110.3 million and $321.6 million, respectively, of which $83.3 million and $241.8 million, respectively, related to money market funds which meet the scope exception of the consolidation guidance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, Fee Waivers totaled $142.4 million and $398.8 million, respectively, of which $114.0 million and $313.5 million, respectively, related to money market funds which meet the scope exception of the consolidation guidance.
Like other sponsors of investment companies, Federated Hermes in the ordinary course of business could make capital contributions to certain affiliated money market Federated Hermes Funds in connection with the reorganization of such funds into certain other affiliated money market Federated Hermes Funds or in connection with the liquidation of money market Federated Hermes Funds. In these instances, such capital contributions typically are intended to either offset realized losses or other permanent impairments to a fund’s net asset value (NAV), increase the market-based NAV per share of the fund’s portfolio that is being reorganized to equal the market-based NAV per share of the acquiring fund or to bear a portion of expenses relating to a fund liquidation. Under current money market fund regulations and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance, Federated Hermes is required to report these types of capital contributions to U.S. money market mutual funds to the SEC as financial support to the investment company that is being reorganized or liquidated. There were no contributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
In accordance with Federated Hermes’ consolidation accounting policy, Federated Hermes first determines whether the entity being evaluated is a VRE or a VIE. Once this determination is made, Federated Hermes proceeds with its evaluation of whether to consolidate the entity. The disclosures below represent the results of such evaluations as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
(a) Consolidated Voting Rights Entities
Although most of the Federated Hermes Funds meet the definition of a VRE, Federated Hermes consolidates VREs only when it is deemed to have control. Consolidated VREs are reported on Federated Hermes’ Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily in Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries.
(b) Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
As of the periods ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Federated Hermes was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated, certain entities as a result of its controlling financial interest. The following table presents the balances related to the consolidated VIEs that were included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as well as Federated Hermes’ net interest in the consolidated VIEs for each period presented:
(in millions)September 30, 2024December 31, 2023

Less: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries33.3 11.6 
Federated Hermes’ Net Interest in VIEs$28.1 $15.1 
Federated Hermes’ net interest in the consolidated VIEs represents the value of Federated Hermes’ economic ownership interest in those VIEs. Federated Hermes consolidated one VIE in the first quarter 2024 due primarily to redemptions from outside investors, which was subsequently deconsolidated in the second quarter 2024 due primarily to additional investments from
12
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)

outside investors. Federated Hermes consolidated one VIE in the third quarter 2024 due to additional investments by Federated Hermes. There was no material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Income as a result of this consolidation and deconsolidation on a net basis.
(c) Non-Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Federated Hermes’ involvement with certain Federated Hermes Funds that are deemed to be VIEs includes serving as investment manager, or, at times, holding a minority interest or both. Federated Hermes’ variable interest is not deemed to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, Federated Hermes is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and has not consolidated these entities.
Federated Hermes’ maximum risk of loss related to investments in variable interests in non-consolidated VIEs was $165.1 million (primarily recorded in Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) at September 30, 2024 and was $133.9 million (primarily recorded in Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) at December 31, 2023, and was entirely related to Federated Hermes Funds. AUM for these non-consolidated Federated Hermes Funds totaled $10.6 billion and $9.3 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Of the Receivables—Affiliates at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, was related to non-consolidated VIEs and represented Federated Hermes’ maximum risk of loss from non-consolidated VIE receivables.
(7) Investments
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Federated Hermes held investments in non-consolidated fluctuating-value Federated Hermes Funds of $66.5 million and $99.5 million, respectively, primarily in mutual funds which represent equity investments for Federated Hermes, and held investments in Separate Accounts of $7.2 million and $7.5 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that were included in Investments—Affiliates and Other on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Federated Hermes’ investments held in Separate Accounts as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were primarily composed of stocks of large domestic and foreign companies ($3.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively) and domestic debt securities ($2.4 million for both periods).
Federated Hermes consolidates certain Federated Hermes Funds into its Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of its controlling financial interest in these Federated Hermes Funds (see Note (6)). All investments held by these consolidated Federated Hermes Funds were included in Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies on Federated Hermes’ Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The investments held by consolidated Federated Hermes Funds as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were composed of domestic and foreign debt securities ($87.8 million and $59.1 million, respectively), stocks of large domestic and foreign companies ($16.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively), stocks of small and mid-sized domestic and foreign companies ($8.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively) and mutual funds ($4.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively).

(8) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability as of the measurement date. A fair value reporting hierarchy exists for disclosure of fair value measurements based on the observability of the inputs to the valuation of financial assets and liabilities. The levels are:
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 assets can include equity and debt securities that are traded in an active exchange market, including shares of mutual funds.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 assets and liabilities may include debt and equity securities, purchased loans and over-the-counter derivative contracts whose fair value is determined using a pricing model without significant unobservable market data inputs.
Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets.
NAV Practical Expedient – Investments that calculate NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. These investments have been excluded from the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Federated Hermes did not hold any nonfinancial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents include deposits with banks and investments in money market funds. Investments in money market funds totaled $341.5 million and $333.3 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Cash investments in publicly available money market funds are valued under the market approach through the use of quoted market prices in an active market, which is the NAV of the funds, and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)

Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies
Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies represent securities held by consolidated Federated Hermes Funds. For publicly traded securities available in an active market, the fair value of these securities is classified as Level 1 when the fair value is based on quoted market prices. The fair values of certain securities held by consolidated Federated Hermes Funds which are determined by third-party pricing services and utilize observable market inputs of comparable investments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Investments—Affiliates and Other
Investments—Affiliates and Other primarily represent investments in fluctuating-value Federated Hermes Funds, as well as investments held in Separate Accounts. For investments in fluctuating-value Federated Hermes Funds that are publicly available, the securities are valued under the market approach through the use of quoted market prices available in an active market, which is the NAV of the funds, and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. For publicly traded securities available in an active market, the fair value of these securities is classified as Level 1 when the fair value is based on quoted market prices. The fair values of certain securities which are determined by third-party pricing services and utilize observable market inputs of comparable investments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Acquisition-related future contingent consideration liabilities
From time to time, pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with certain business combinations and asset acquisitions, Federated Hermes could be required to make future consideration payments if certain contingencies are met. In connection with certain business combinations, Federated Hermes records a liability representing the estimated fair value of future consideration payments as of the acquisition date. The liability is subsequently re-measured at fair value on a recurring basis with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. As of September 30, 2024, acquisition-related future consideration liabilities of $8.3 million were primarily related to business combinations made in 2022 and 2020 and were recorded in Other Current Liabilities ($5.4 million) and Other Long-Term Liabilities ($2.9 million) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management estimated the fair value of future consideration payments based primarily upon expected future cash flows using an income approach valuation methodology with unobservable market data inputs (Level 3).
The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for Federated Hermes’ liability for future consideration payments related to these business combinations:
(in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2023$7,626 
Changes in Fair Value1,163 
Contingent Consideration Payments(529)
Balance at September 30, 2024$8,260 
Investments using Practical Expedients
For investments in mutual funds that are not publicly available but for which the NAV is calculated monthly and for which there are redemption restrictions, the investments are valued using NAV as a practical expedient and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these investments totaled $20.0 million and $19.9 million, respectively, and were recorded in Other Long-Term Assets.
(b) Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
Federated Hermes did not hold any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2024.
(c) Fair Value Measurements of Other Financial Instruments
The fair value of Federated Hermes’ debt is estimated by management using observable market data (Level 2). Based on this fair value estimate, the carrying value of debt appearing on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value, net of unamortized issuance costs in the amount of $2.0 million.

(9) Derivatives
Federated Hermes enters into foreign currency forward transactions in order to hedge against foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to Federated Hermes Limited (FHL), a British Pound Sterling-denominated subsidiary. None of these forwards have been designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.
As of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes held foreign currency forwards expiring from December 2024 through June 2025 with a combined notional amount of £89.1 million. Federated Hermes recorded $6.1 million in Receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represented the fair value of these derivative instruments as of September 30, 2024.
As of December 31, 2023, Federated Hermes held foreign currency forwards expiring from March 2024 through September 2024 with two counterparties. For foreign currency forwards with a notional amount of £28.8 million, Federated Hermes recorded $1.6 million in Receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represented the fair value as of December 31, 2023. For foreign currency forwards with a combined notional amount of £55.5 million, Federated Hermes recorded $0.3 million in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represented the fair value as of December 31, 2023.
(10) Intangible Assets, including Goodwill
Intangible Assets, net at September 30, 2024 decreased $66.9 million from December 31, 2023 primarily due to a $66.3 million non-cash impairment of an indefinite-lived intangible asset recognized at June 30, 2024, $9.8 million of amortization expense offset by a $8.2 million increase in the value of intangible assets denominated in a foreign currency as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Due to actual results trailing projected results, driven by a combination of lower gross sales and higher redemptions for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, management concluded that an indicator of potential impairment existed as of June 30, 2024 for the indefinite-lived intangible asset related to the FHL right to manage public fund assets acquired in connection with the 2018 FHL acquisition. Management used an income-based approach, the discounted cash flow method, to value the asset as of June 30, 2024, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $66.3 million. The non-cash impairment was recorded in Operating Expenses - Intangible Asset Related on the Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no impairments recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Goodwill at September 30, 2024 increased $6.4 million from December 31, 2023 as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on goodwill denominated in a foreign currency.
(11) Debt
Unsecured Senior Notes
On March 17, 2022, Federated Hermes entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (Note Purchase Agreement) by and among Federated Hermes and the purchasers of certain unsecured senior notes in the aggregate amount of $350 million ($350 million Notes), at a fixed interest rate of 3.29% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears in March and September in each year of the agreement. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and PNC Capital Markets LLC acted as lead placement agents in relation to the $350 million Notes and certain subsidiaries of Federated Hermes are guarantors of the obligations owed under the Note Purchase Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, $348.0 million, net of unamortized issuance costs in the amount of $2.0 million, was recorded in Long-Term Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The entire principal amount of the $350 million Notes will become due March 17, 2032, subject to certain prepayment requirements under limited conditions. Federated Hermes can elect to prepay the $350 million Notes under certain limited circumstances including with a make-whole amount if prepaid without the consent of the holders of the $350 million Notes. The Note Purchase Agreement does not feature a facility for the further issuance of additional notes or borrowing of any other amounts and there is no commitment fee payable in connection with the $350 million Notes.
The Note Purchase Agreement includes representations and warranties, affirmative and negative financial covenants, including an interest coverage ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant, reporting requirements, other non-financial covenants and other customary terms and conditions. Federated Hermes was in compliance with all of its covenants at and during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information.
16
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)

The Note Purchase Agreement includes certain stated events of default and cross default provisions which would permit the lenders/counterparties to accelerate the repayment of the $350 million Notes if not cured within the applicable grace periods. The events of default generally include breaches of contract, failure to make required payments, insolvency, certain material misrepresentations and other proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, that would require repayment of the $350 million Notes prior to their stated date of maturity. Any such accelerated amounts would accrue interest at a default rate and could include an additional make-whole amount upon repayment. The $350 million Notes rank without preference or priority in relation to other unsecured and senior indebtedness of Federated Hermes.
Revolving Credit Facility
On July 30, 2021, Federated Hermes entered into an unsecured Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Federated Hermes, certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors party thereto, a syndicate of eleven banks as Lenders party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association as administrative agent, PNC Capital Markets LLC, as sole bookrunner and joint lead arranger, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., as joint lead arranger, Citibank, N.A. as syndication agent, and Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch as documentation agent (Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement consists of a $350 million revolving credit facility with an additional $200 million available via an optional increase (or accordion) feature. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, stock repurchases, dividend payments (including any special dividend payments), and acquisitions.
The interest on borrowings from the revolving credit facility is calculated at the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) which includes a benchmark adjustment based on its historical relationship to the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR). The borrowings under the revolving credit facility may include up to $50 million for which interest is calculated at the daily SOFR plus a spread unless a base rate option is elected (Swing Line). Effective July 1, 2023, Federated Hermes began using SOFR as a replacement to LIBOR in order to calculate interest on borrowings, if any, as permitted by the Credit Agreement. This is only a change to the rate index used for future borrowings under the Credit Agreement due to the discontinuance of LIBOR in the market and is not an amendment to the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement, which expires on July 30, 2026, has no principal payment schedule, but instead requires that any outstanding principal be repaid by the expiration date. Federated Hermes, however, can elect to make discretionary principal payments. There was no activity on the Credit Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The commitment fee under the Credit Agreement is 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion of each Lender’s commitment. As of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes has $350 million available for borrowings under the revolving credit facility and an additional $200 million available via its optional accordion feature.
The Credit Agreement includes representations and warranties, affirmative and negative financial covenants, including an interest coverage ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant, reporting requirements, other non-financial covenants and other customary terms and conditions. Federated Hermes was in compliance with all covenants at and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information.
The Credit Agreement also has certain stated events of default and cross default provisions which would permit the lenders/counterparties to accelerate the repayment of debt outstanding if not cured within the applicable grace periods. The events of default generally include breaches of contract, failure to make required loan payments, insolvency, cessation of business, notice of lien or assessment, and other proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, that would require the repayment of amounts borrowed. The Credit Agreement also requires certain subsidiaries to enter into a Third Amended and Restated Continuing Agreement of Guaranty and Suretyship to guarantee payment of all obligations incurred through the Credit Agreement.
(12) Share-Based Compensation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes awarded 413,607 shares of restricted Class B common stock, the majority of which was granted in connection with a bonus program in which certain key employees received a portion of their bonus in the form of restricted stock under the Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). This restricted stock, which was granted on the bonus payment date and issued out of treasury, generally vests over a three-year period.
During 2023, Federated Hermes awarded 375,796 shares of restricted Class B common stock in connection with a bonus program in which certain key employees received a portion of their bonus in the form of restricted stock under the Plan. This

bonus restricted stock, which was granted on the bonus payment date and issued out of treasury, generally vests over a three-year period. Federated Hermes also awarded 414,500 shares of restricted Class B common stock under this same Plan that generally vest over a ten-year period. In addition, Federated Hermes awarded 86,000 shares of restricted Class B common stock under the Federated Hermes UK Sub-Plan that generally vest over a five-year period.
(13) Equity
In October 2023, the Federated Hermes, Inc. board of directors (Board) authorized a share repurchase program with no stated expiration date that allows the repurchase of up to 5.0 million shares of Class B common stock. No other program existed as of September 30, 2024. The program authorizes executive management to determine the timing and the amount of shares for each purchase. The repurchased stock is to be held in treasury for employee share-based compensation plans, potential acquisitions and other corporate activities, unless the Board subsequently determines to retire the repurchased stock and restore the shares to authorized but unissued status (rather than holding the shares in treasury). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes repurchased approximately 3.5 million shares of its Class B common stock for $111.5 million, nearly all of which were repurchased in the open market. At September 30, 2024, approximately 1.2 million shares remain available to be repurchased under this share repurchase program. See Note (19) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding a new share repurchase program approved on October 24, 2024.
The following table presents the activity for the Class B common stock and Treasury stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Class A shares have been excluded as there was no activity during these same periods.

(17) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Contractual
From time to time, pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with certain business combinations and asset acquisitions, Federated Hermes is obligated to make future payments under various agreements to which it is a party. See Note (8) for additional information regarding these payments.
(b) Guarantees and Indemnifications
On an intercompany basis, various subsidiaries of Federated Hermes guarantee certain financial obligations of Federated Hermes, Inc. and of other consolidated subsidiaries, and Federated Hermes, Inc. guarantees certain financial and performance-related obligations of various wholly-owned subsidiaries. Federated Hermes or its subsidiaries also can guarantee the obligations of certain offerings, such as direct lending funds, as a condition to making seed or other investments in them.
In addition, in the normal course of business, Federated Hermes has entered into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications. Typically, obligations to indemnify third parties arise in the context of contracts entered into by Federated Hermes, under which Federated Hermes agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising out of the contract, provided the other party’s actions are not deemed to have breached an agreed-upon standard of care. In each of these circumstances, payment by Federated Hermes is contingent on the other party making a claim for indemnity, subject to Federated Hermes’ right to challenge the claim. Further, Federated Hermes’ obligations under these agreements can be limited in terms of time and/or amount. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of Federated Hermes’ obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. As of September 30, 2024, management does not believe that a material loss related to any of these matters is reasonably possible.
(c) Legal Proceedings
Like other companies, Federated Hermes has claims asserted and threatened against it in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes does not believe that a material loss related to any of these claims is reasonably possible.
(d) Other
During the first quarter 2023, an administrative error was identified related to a failure to register certain shares of a Federated Hermes closed-end tender fund. Federated Hermes estimated a probable cost of $19.6 million as of September 30, 2024 related to correcting this issue, of which $17.9 million represents a settlement with affected shareholders that was paid during the second quarter 2023. During the first quarter 2023, Federated Hermes recorded $2.5 million to Operating Expenses - Other representing Federated Hermes' retention under the insurance policy. Management believes an insurance reimbursement of $15.9 million is probable based on the contractual terms of certain insurance policies. Accordingly, $15.9 million has been recorded to Receivables, net at September 30, 2024. However, the insurance claim is now the subject of litigation with two of Federated Hermes’ insurance carriers. Changes to these estimates, which are contingent upon resolution of the insurance claim with the applicable insurers, could be materially different from the amount Federated Hermes has recorded.
In connection with the restructuring of an infrastructure fund, Federated Hermes purchased certain limited partners’ rights to receive future carried interest at fair value, which was calculated by a third-party, for $9.8 million and was included in Operating Expenses - Other in the second quarter 2023. Due to the restructuring, an existing clawback risk on previously earned carried interest was removed. The purchase of these carried interest rights and related legal and professional fees and other costs are not deductible for tax purposes. An additional $5.1 million and $1.9 million in consideration was recorded in Operating Expenses - Other in the second half of 2023 and first half of 2024, respectively. Negotiations for additional consideration continue with one limited partner. The final consideration may be different from the amounts recorded and the difference could be material.
(18) Income Taxes
The income tax provision was $32.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $26.7 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in the income tax provision was primarily due to an increase in U.S. income
21
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

tax resulting from increased U.S. income. The effective tax rate was 26.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 26.5% for the same period in 2023.
The income tax provision was $84.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $75.3 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in the income tax provision was primarily due to an increase in U.S. income tax resulting from increased U.S. income. The effective tax rate was 31.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 25.6% for the same period in 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of a valuation allowance on foreign deferred tax assets and the impairment of a foreign indefinite-lived intangible asset.
(19) Subsequent Events
On October 24, 2024, the Board declared a $0.31 per share dividend to Federated Hermes’ Class A and Class B common stock shareholders of record as of November 8, 2024 to be paid on November 15, 2024.
On October 24, 2024, the Board authorized an additional share repurchase program with no stated expiration date that allows the repurchase of up to 5.0 million shares of Class B common stock. This program authorizes executive management to determine the timing and the amount of shares for each purchase. The repurchased stock is to be held in treasury for employee share-based compensation plans, potential acquisitions and other corporate activities, unless the Board subsequently determines to retire the repurchased stock and restore the shares to authorized but unissued status (rather than holding the shares in treasury). See Note (13) for additional information on Federated Hermes' share repurchase programs.

Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (unaudited)
The discussion and analysis below should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Management has presumed that the readers of this interim financial information have read or have access to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in Federated Hermes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
General
Federated Hermes is a global leader in active, responsible investing with $800.5 billion in managed assets as of September 30, 2024. The majority of Federated Hermes’ revenue is derived from advising Federated Hermes Funds and Separate Accounts in domestic and international public and private markets. Federated Hermes also derives revenue from providing administrative and other fund-related services (including distribution and shareholder servicing) as well as stewardship and real estate development services.
Investment advisory fees, administrative service fees and certain fees for other services, such as distribution and shareholder service fees, are contract-based and are generally calculated as a percentage of the average net assets of managed investment portfolios. Federated Hermes’ revenue is primarily dependent upon factors that affect the value of managed/serviced assets, including market conditions and the ability to attract and retain assets. Generally, managed assets in Federated Hermes’ public market investment products and strategies (together with other offered services, as applicable, offerings) can be redeemed or withdrawn at any time with no advance notice requirement, while managed assets in Federated Hermes’ private market investment offerings are subject to restrictions to withdrawals. Fee rates for Federated Hermes’ services generally vary by asset and service type and can vary based on changes in asset levels. Generally, advisory fees charged for services provided to multi-asset and equity offerings are higher than advisory fees charged to alternative/private markets and fixed-income offerings, which in turn are higher than advisory fees charged to money market offerings. Likewise, Federated Hermes Funds typically have higher advisory fees than Separate Accounts. Similarly, revenue is also dependent upon the relative composition of average AUM across both asset and offering types. Federated Hermes can implement Fee Waivers for competitive reasons such as to maintain positive or zero net yields (Voluntary Yield-related Fee Waivers), to maintain certain fund expense ratios, to meet regulatory requirements or to meet contractual requirements. Since Federated Hermes’ public market offerings are largely distributed and serviced through financial intermediary customers, Federated Hermes pays a portion of fees earned from sponsored offerings to the financial intermediary customers that sell these offerings. These payments are generally calculated as a percentage of net assets attributable to the applicable financial intermediary and represent the vast majority of Distribution expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain components of Distribution expense can vary depending upon the asset type, distribution channel and/or the size of the customer relationship. Federated Hermes generally pays out a larger portion of the revenue earned from managed assets in money market and multi-asset funds than the revenue earned from managed assets in equity, fixed-income and alternative/private markets funds.
Federated Hermes’ most significant operating expenses are Compensation and Related expense and Distribution expense. Compensation and Related expense includes base salary and wages, incentive compensation and other employee expenses including payroll taxes and benefits. Incentive compensation, which includes share-based compensation, can vary depending on various factors including, but not limited to, the overall results of operations of Federated Hermes, investment management performance and sales performance.
The discussion and analysis of Federated Hermes’ financial condition and results of operations are based on Federated Hermes’ Consolidated Financial Statements. Federated Hermes operates in one operating segment, the investment management business. Management analyzes all expected revenue and expenses and considers market demands in determining an overall fee structure for services provided and in evaluating the addition of new business. Federated Hermes’ growth and profitability are dependent upon its ability to attract and retain AUM and upon the profitability of those assets, which is impacted, in part, by Fee Waivers. Fees for mutual fund-related services are ultimately subject to the approval of the independent directors or trustees of the mutual funds and, as required by law, fund shareholders. Management believes that meaningful indicators of Federated Hermes’ financial performance include AUM, gross and net product sales, total revenue and net income, both in total and per diluted share.

Business Developments
Intangible Asset Impairment
During the second quarter of 2024, a $66.3 million non-cash impairment of an indefinite-lived intangible asset associated with the 2018 FHL acquisition was recorded in Intangible Asset Related expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note (10) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the impairment of this indefinite-lived intangible asset.
Current Regulatory Developments
The business and regulatory environments in which Federated Hermes operates globally remain complex, uncertain, and subject to change. Federated Hermes and its investment management business are subject to extensive regulation, both within and outside of the U.S., including various laws, rules, and regulations globally that impose restrictions, limitations, registration, reporting and disclosure requirements on its business, and add complexity to its global compliance operations. For example, Federated Hermes and its offerings are subject to various: (1) federal securities laws, such as the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), and Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act); (2) state laws regarding securities fraud and registration; and (3) regulations or other rules promulgated by various regulatory authorities, or other authorities. These regulatory requirements, and other regulatory developments, continue to impact the investment management industry generally, and will continue to impact, to various degrees, Federated Hermes’ business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and stock price (collectively, Financial Condition).
Please see Federated Hermes’ prior public filings, including the discussions under Part 1, Item 1 – Business – Regulatory Matters, in Federated Hermes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (2023 Annual Report), for an overview of Federated Hermes’ regulatory environment and related regulatory developments for periods prior to December 31, 2023, and under Part 1, Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Business Developments – Current Regulatory Developments, in Federated Hermes’ Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024 (First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q) and June 30, 2024 (Second Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q), for Federated Hermes’ key regulatory developments and requirements for periods prior to June 30, 2024.
Regulatory Developments – Domestic
Federated Hermes’ primary regulator in the U.S. is the SEC. U.S. regulatory matters addressed in Federated Hermes’ 2023 Annual Report, First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q and Second Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q included, among others, money market fund reform, environmental, social, governance (ESG) and sustainability, amendments to Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act, systematically important financial institutions designation by the Financial Stability Oversight Council, tailored shareholder reports, amendments to Form PF, the share repurchase disclosure modernization rule, which was vacated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (Fifth Circuit), amendments to Regulation S-P, and discussion of the impact of several recent court decisions that impact the regulation of the investment management industry, including, among other things, the potential ability to challenge regulation, the SEC’s willingness to bring enforcement actions seeking civil penalties, and the validity of certain final rules adopted by the SEC. Key regulatory developments and requirements in the U.S. since June 30, 2024, that could significantly impact or relate to Federated Hermes’ business and offerings include, among others, the following:
SEC Spring 2024 Reg Flex Agenda. The SEC published its Spring 2024 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Declaratory Actions (SEC Spring 2024 Reg Flex Agenda) on July 8, 2024. The SEC Spring 2024 Reg Flex Agenda identified 34 rulemaking initiatives on the SEC’s calendar for 2024 and 2025, including 19 final rules and 15 additional proposed rules. Among other developments, the SEC Spring 2024 Reg Flex Agenda signals that the SEC Staff is considering recommending that the SEC re-issue proposed rules on open-end fund liquidity risk management programs and swing pricing by April 2025, safeguarding advisory client assets (i.e., amendments to the Custody Rule under the Advisers Act) by October 2024, and conflicts of interest associated with the use of predictive data analytics (or artificial intelligence) by broker-dealers and investment advisors by October 2024. The original proposed rules on these topics were subject to significant public comments that were opposed to many aspects of the proposed rules.
Examples of other proposed rules currently identified by the SEC Spring 2024 Reg Flex Agenda to be issued by October 2024 or April 2025 include, among others, human capital management disclosure, board diversity disclosure, amendments to the Rule 144 holding period, amendments to Regulation D, including updates to the accredited investor definition and Form D, fund fee disclosure, and broker-dealer and investment advisor conflicts in the use of predictive data analytics, artificial

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)

intelligence, machine learning and similar technologies. Examples of final rules that are currently identified by the SEC Spring 2024 Reg Flex Agenda to be issued by October 2024 or April 2025 include, among others, enhanced disclosure by certain investment advisors and investment companies about ESG investment practices, cybersecurity risk management for investment advisors and investment companies, and outsourcing by investment advisors. These final and proposed rules are expected to impose significant new requirements on the investment management industry, including Federated Hermes.
Reporting Requirements on Forms N-PORT and N-CEN. On August 28, 2024, the SEC adopted previously proposed amendments to reporting requirements on Forms N-PORT and N-CEN. Under the amendments, which become effective November 17, 2025, funds must file Form N-PORT more frequently. Registered open-end funds, registered closed-end funds and exchange traded funds organized as unit investment trusts will be required to report portfolio holdings to the SEC on a monthly basis, rather than quarterly. Funds will also be required to make those reports available to the public 60 days after the end of each month instead of every third month of a quarter. The SEC also approved a new requirement for open-end funds to disclose certain information about liquidity service providers in their Form N-CEN. Notably, the SEC did not adopt related proposed amendments regarding swing pricing and liquidity risk management. Federated Hermes strongly opposed the previously proposed rule on open-end fund liquidity risk management and swing pricing because Federated Hermes believes the implementation of swing pricing is unnecessary to achieve the SEC’s desired objective, would be extremely costly, would be very difficult for the industry to implement, would be difficult for investors to understand, and would represent an unwarranted change in the character of open-end mutual funds which provide investors with the benefits of professional management, diversification, and access to the capital markets to help them meet their financial goals.
Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. In October 2023, California enacted new climate accountability legislation that will require large businesses doing business in California that were formed in the United States and that have revenues of more than $1 billion to make annual disclosures of certain greenhouse gas emission information (including Scope 3 disclosures) and biennial disclosure of certain climate-related financial risks and mitigation measures, beginning in 2026 (unless such California regulatory requirements are successfully challenged in court). On September 27, 2024, California’s governor, signed into law Senate Bill 219 (SB 219), which enacts several amendments to the previously enacted California climate-related disclosure rules. Among other things, SB 219: (1) provides an additional six-month delay for the publication of regulations by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) for scope emissions disclosures, (2) changes the timeline of Scope 3 emissions disclosure by permitting CARB to prepare a schedule for disclosure of Scope 3 emissions rather than the previous timeline requiring Scope 3 emissions disclosure no later than 180 days after Scopes 1 and 2 emissions disclosure, (3) permits consolidated reporting at the parent level for scope emissions, and (4) eliminates the payment of filing fee requirements.
New Department of Labor (DOL) Fiduciary Rule. On April 23, 2024, the DOL issued its final “Fiduciary Rule” in which it made changes to the definition of “investment advice” fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as well as amendments to several prohibited transaction class exemptions (DOL New Fiduciary Rule). The changes, among other things, broaden the circumstances in which ERISA fiduciary status will apply to investment advisors, broker dealers and other entities with direct or indirect discretionary authority or control, that represent or acknowledge acting as a fiduciary, or that make investment recommendations to investors on a regular basis as part of their business, including recommendations relating to ERISA plan rollover transactions, any other securities transaction, or any investment strategy involving securities or other investment property. The final rule amends or eliminates several prohibited transaction exemptions (PTE), including, among others, PTE 77-4 (Purchase of Shares of Open-End Investment Companies), and requires all investment advice fiduciaries to comply with the “best interest” standard of care and disclosure requirements under PTE 2020-02 in order to receive compensation that would otherwise be prohibited under ERISA in the absence of an exemption, including commissions, 12b-1 fees, revenue sharing, and mark-ups and mark-downs in certain principal transactions. On July 10, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives’ (House) Education and Workforce Committee passed by a 23-18 vote a Congressional Review Act resolution to disapprove (and therefore prevent from taking effect) the DOL New Fiduciary Rule as a “reckless overreach” by the current administration. The House Appropriations Committee also approved by a 31-25 vote on July 10, 2024, the Fiscal Year 2025 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies bill, which, if passed by Congress and signed by the President, would prevent the DOL from using any funds to administer, implement or enforce the DOL New Fiduciary Rule. Both the resolution and legislation must be passed by Congress and signed by the President (or Congress must override the President’s veto). The DOL New Fiduciary Rule, which was scheduled to become effective on September 23, 2024, is being challenged by plaintiffs in a number of federal courts. In September 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas had relied on the U.S. Supreme Court’s Chevron Doctrine, which required federal courts to defer to regulatory agency regulations if the language of a statute at issue was ambiguous and the agency’s interpretation was “reasonable,” in ruling that the DOL acted within its authority under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) in issuing the DOL New Fiduciary Rule. However, as a result of the Supreme Court overturning the Chevron Doctrine in June 2024, on July 18, 2024, the Fifth Circuit directed the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas to reconsider the plaintiffs’
25
Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (unaudited)
argument that the DOL exceeded its authority in issuing the rule. On July 25 and 26, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, respectively, issued stays on the effective date of the DOL New Fiduciary Rule. Both courts found that the plaintiffs’ challenges to the rule were likely to succeed on the merits because the rulemaking exceeds the DOL’s authority.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Ban on Non-Compete Agreements. On April 23, 2024, the FTC issued its final rule purporting to ban all new post-employment non-compete agreements between an employer and its employee after its effective date, which was scheduled for September 4, 2024. The final rule would have applied to for-profit companies, regardless of industry or level of worker (e.g., senior executive versus other levels of employee). Lawsuits were filed challenging the FTC’s final rule, including by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. On July 3, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, where one of the challenges was filed, issued an order preliminarily enjoining the FTC from enforcing the rule against the plaintiffs in the case until the court decided whether the FTC violated the APA by exceeding its statutory authority. On August 20, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs who had sued to prevent the FTC from enforcing the rule. The ruling, which blocks the FTC’s final rule from going into effect, found that the FTC “lack[ed] statutory authority to promulgate the Non-Compete Rule” and noted that the FTC’s rule was “arbitrary and capricious” as the FTC failed to provide a reasonable explanation to justify the breadth of the rule. The FTC filed an appeal to the court’s decision on October 18, 2024.
Customer Identification Programs for Investment Advisors. On May 13, 2024, the SEC, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued a joint notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to apply customer identification program (CIP) obligations to certain investment advisors, which would include Federated Hermes’ investment advisory subsidiaries registered with the SEC. The proposed rule would require SEC-registered investment advisors (RIAs) and exempt reporting advisors (ERAs) to, among other things, implement a CIP that includes procedures for: (1) verifying the identity of each customer to the extent reasonable and practicable; and (2) maintaining records of the information used to verify a customer’s identity, including name, address, and other identifying information. The public comment period on the proposed rule ended on July 22, 2024.
Proposal to Eliminate Annual Shareholder Meetings for Exchange Listed Closed-End Funds. On June 6, 2024, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) filed an application with the SEC proposing amendments to Section 302 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that would eliminate the requirements for closed-end management investment companies with shares listed for trading on the NYSE to hold an annual shareholder meeting each fiscal year. If approved by the SEC, the proposed amendments would exempt such exchange-listed closed-end funds from the requirement to hold an annual meeting. The SEC published the proposed amendments on July 9, 2024, and the public comment period on the proposed amendments closed on July 30, 2024. On October 4, 2024, the SEC issued an order instituting proceedings to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change. The SEC has invited interested persons to submit written data, views and arguments regarding whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved and interested persons may request an opportunity to make an oral presentation. Federated Hermes fully supports the proposed amendments. Exchange-listed closed end funds are more akin to registered mutual funds, which are not required to have annual meetings, than listed operating companies. The listed shares of such closed-end funds often trade on the NYSE at a discount to their NAV. This subjects them to attack by activist shareholders who buy discounted shares and then take action to force the closed-end funds to incur liquidity events (such as tender offers, reorganizations, or open-ending of the closed-end funds) to realize or arbitrage the difference between the discounted purchase prices and the closed-end funds’ NAV. This can reduce the number of such closed-end funds that are offered and have detrimental effects on the closed-end funds and their long-term shareholders, which in many cases are retirement investors.
Regulatory Developments – International
Federated Hermes’ primary regulators outside the U.S. are the United Kingdom (UK) Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Central Bank of Ireland, and the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. Federated Hermes’ is also regulated outside the U.S. by, among other regulators, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, Financial Services Agency of Japan and the Cayman Island Monetary Authority. Non-U.S. regulatory matters addressed in Federated Hermes’ 2023 Annual Report and First and Second Quarter 2024 Form 10-Qs included, among others: money market fund reform initiatives in the European Union (EU), UK and internationally; EU and UK sustainability disclosure requirements; EU regulatory developments such as the EU Retail Investment Package and review of the EU Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) Eligible Assets Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA); as well as UK regulatory developments including the UK Overseas Funds Regime (OFR), the re-introduction of the possibility of bundling investment research costs and sustainability requirements for asset

managers and corporations. Key regulatory developments outside the U.S. since June 30, 2024, that could significantly impact or relate to Federated Hermes’ business and offerings include, among others, the following:
EU UCITS and EU AIFMs – Consultation on liquidity management tools. Federated Hermes’ 2023 Annual Report describes changes to the EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (EU AIFMD) and UCITS Directive (EU UCITS) following a review of those directives. Those changes have been finalized, and include provisions regarding liquidity risk management. Consequential to those changes, on July 8, 2024, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published two consultation papers regarding liquidity management tools (LMTs) for EU UCITS and EU alternative investment fund managers (AIFM) of open-ended alternative investment funds. One of the consultation papers relates to the development of regulatory technical standards to determine the characteristics of LMTs available to AIFMs and UCITS management companies. The second consultation paper concerns the development of guidelines that are intended to establish common standards in relation to the selection, activation and calibration of LMTs. The consultation periods for the two consultations ended on October 8, 2024.
EU and UK sustainability requirements for asset managers and investment products. Federated Hermes’ 2023 Annual Report describes regulatory developments relating to sustainability disclosure requirements in the EU and UK applicable to asset managers and their products. In relation to the UK’s Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) and labelling regime, the FCA announced on September 9, 2024, that it is offering limited temporary measures until April 2, 2025, for firms to comply with the ‘naming and marketing rules’ under the SDR, which will apply in certain exceptional circumstances. In addition, there has been a delay in the publication of the UK Government’s consultation on extending SDR and labelling for funds able to be marketed in the UK under the OFR, which was originally intended to be published during the third quarter of 2024. In the EU, ESMA published its finalized guidelines regarding the use of ESG-related terms in fund names, which apply to UCITS management companies and AIFMs. The guidelines seek to ensure that investors are protected against unsubstantiated or exaggerated sustainability claims in fund names by setting out clear and measurable criteria to be met for funds using ESG or sustainability-related terms in their names. The guidelines will take effect on November 21, 2024 for new funds, and on May 21, 2025 for existing funds.
EU and UK sustainability reporting requirements for corporations. Federated Hermes’ 2023 Annual Report described developments relating to sustainability disclosure requirements in the EU and UK applicable to corporations. These include: in the EU, the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive; and in the UK a proposal to put in place UK sustainability reporting standards for UK corporations based on the Sustainability Disclosure Standards within the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board. In relation to CSRD, on August 7, 2024, the European Commission published frequently asked questions primarily regarding the interpretation of certain legal provisions in the CSRD. The CSRD expands the scope of companies that are required to disclose sustainability information, and increases the extent and level of detail required to be disclosed regarding sustainability matters.
UK proposed re-introduction of bundling for investment research received by asset managers. On July 26, 2024, the FCA published its final rules and policy statement (PS24/9) regarding the “new” payment optionality for asset managers to pay for the investment research they receive. Effective August 1, 2024, asset managers in the UK will have the option of bundling payments for third party research together with execution services. This is in addition to the options of paying for research out of the asset manager’s own resources, or from a dedicated research payment account established by the manager. The ability to bundle investment research costs is subject to certain guardrails, including requiring that firms: (1) adopt a formal policy on the use of bundled payments for research; (2) establish a budget for the amount of third-party research to be purchased; (3) undertake ongoing assessments of the value and price of the research received; (4) determine an approach to the allocation of costs across the firm’s clients and a structure for the allocation of payments across research providers; (5) put in place operational procedures for the administration of accounts to purchase research; and (6) disclose to clients the firm's approach to bundled payments and the costs incurred.
UK Overseas Funds Regime. Federated Hermes’ 2023 Annual Report described developments relating to the UK’s OFR, which sets the framework for marketing overseas investment funds to UK retail investors, as well as the marketing of overseas money market funds in the UK (whether to retail or non-retail investors). The OFR will replace the existing temporary marketing permissions regime (TMPR). EU UCITS (excluding money market funds) have been deemed equivalent for the purposes of the OFR, and therefore may avail of this once the OFR becomes available. On July 17, 2024, the FCA published its final rules and policy statement (PS24/17) regarding the implementation of the OFR. Following finalization of those rules, on September 30, 2024, the FCA opened its ‘OFR gateway’ to EU UCITS not in the TMPR to allow them to apply for OFR recognition. Starting July 1, 2025, Federated Hermes can apply for recognition under OFR.

Digital Operational Resilience Act. The EU DORA will become effective on January 17, 2025. The DORA creates a framework for the management of information and communications technology risks by financial services firms in the EU. DORA is supplemented by various detailed measures. On July 17, 2024, the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) published four final regulatory technical standards and one set of implementing technical standards on the notification and reporting process for major information and communication technology (ICT) incidents involving critical third-party providers and significant cyber threats. The ESAs also published two DORA guidelines which relate to: (1) the estimation of aggregated annual costs and losses caused by major ICT-related incidents, and (2) the oversight, cooperation and information exchange between ESAs and the competent authorities.
Current Regulatory Developments– Potential Impacts
Federated Hermes has monitored, reviewed, assessed, and implemented changes in response to, and will continue to monitor, review, assess, and implement changes in response to, regulatory developments and requirements, as applicable, and their impact on its business, offerings, and Financial Condition. Federated Hermes actively participates, either individually or with industry trade groups (such as the Investment Company Institute), in the public comment process regarding regulatory developments that can significantly impact Federated Hermes’ business, offerings, and Financial Condition. Regulatory developments and regulatory requirements also are subject to legal challenge in court, and Federated Hermes’ considers initiating, participating in or supporting such legal challenges when management deems it necessary or appropriate. Federated Hermes also continues to monitor and assess the impact of the interest rate environment (whether increasing or decreasing), and any instability in the banking sector and financial markets, on asset values and money market fund and other fund asset flows, and related asset mixes, as well as the degree to which these factors impact Federated Hermes' institutional prime and municipal (or tax-exempt) money market business and Federated Hermes' Financial Condition.
The difficulty in, and cost of, complying with applicable regulatory developments and regulatory requirements increases with the number, complexity, and differing (and potentially conflicting) requirements of new or amended regulatory requirements, among other factors. In addition to the impact on Federated Hermes' AUM, revenues, operating income and other aspects of Federated Hermes' business, Federated Hermes' regulatory, product development and restructuring, and other efforts in response to regulatory developments and regulatory requirements, including the internal and external resources dedicated to such efforts, have had, and can continue to have, on a cumulative basis, a material impact on Federated Hermes' expenses and, in turn, Financial Condition.
Federated Hermes is unable to fully assess at this time whether, or the degree to which, any continuing efforts or potential options being evaluated in connection with modified or new regulatory developments and regulatory requirements ultimately will be successful. The degree of impact of regulatory developments and regulatory requirements on Federated Hermes' Financial Condition can vary, including in a material way, and is uncertain.
As of September 30, 2024, given the regulatory environment, and the possibility of future additional regulatory developments, requirements and oversight, Federated Hermes is unable to fully assess the impact of regulatory developments and requirements, and Federated Hermes' efforts related thereto, on its Financial Condition. Regulatory developments and requirements in the current regulatory environment, and Federated Hermes' efforts in responding to them, could have further material and adverse effects on Federated Hermes' Financial Condition.

Changes in Federated Hermes’ average asset mix period-over-period across both asset classes and offering types have a direct impact on Federated Hermes’ operating income. Asset mix impacts Federated Hermes’ total revenue due to the difference in the fee rates earned on each asset class and offering type per invested dollar and certain components of distribution expense can vary depending upon the asset class, distribution channel and/or the size of the customer relationship. The following table presents the relative composition of average managed assets and the percent of total revenue derived from each asset class and offering type for the periods presented:

Total managed assets represent the balance of AUM at a point in time, while total average managed assets represent the average balance of AUM during a period of time. Because substantially all revenue and certain components of distribution expense are generally calculated daily based on AUM, changes in average managed assets are typically a key indicator of changes in revenue earned and asset-based expenses incurred during the same period.
Total average managed assets increased 12% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023. As of September 30, 2024, total managed assets increased 12% from September 30, 2023. Average money market assets increased 15% and 16% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. Period-end money market assets increased 13% at September 30, 2024, as compared to September 30, 2023. Money market funds across the industry continued to experience inflows, including $150 billion in the final two weeks of the quarter after the Federal Reserve cut rates by 50 basis points to a range of 4.75%-5.00% in mid-September. Money market funds have historically offered a yield advantage in a falling-rate environment, when compared to some securities in the direct market, especially overnight securities and those with floating rates, which trace the Federal Reserve moves immediately. Average equity assets decreased 2% and 5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. Period-end equity assets increased 8% at September 30, 2024, as compared to September 30, 2023, primarily due to market appreciation, partially offset by net redemptions. Stocks continued in an upward trajectory in the third quarter 2024 with the S&P 500 gaining 5.5% and bringing the index’s year-to-date gains to more than 20% through September 2024. Average fixed-income assets increased 10% and 9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. Period-end fixed-income assets increased 12% at September 30, 2024, as compared to September 30, 2023, primarily due to market appreciation and net sales. Yields on the 10 Year Treasury note fell from 4.48% at the start of the quarter to 3.75% at the end of the third quarter 2024. The falling
36
Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)

yields brought some price appreciation. Average alternative/private markets assets decreased 4% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023. Period-end alternative/private markets assets increased 2% at September 30, 2024, as compared to September 30, 2023, primarily due to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate, partially offset by net redemptions and market depreciation.
Results of Operations
Revenue. Revenue increased $5.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in money market revenue of $26.3 million due to an increase in average money market assets. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in carried interest of $10.7 million (partially offset in Compensation and Related expense) and a decrease of $4.5 million in equity revenue due to lower average assets.
Revenue decreased $10.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in carried interest of $47.0 million (partially offset in Compensation and Related expense) and a decrease of $20.3 million in equity revenue due to lower average assets. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in money market revenue of $60.3 million due to an increase in average money market assets.
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, Federated Hermes’ ratio of revenue to average managed assets was 0.20% and 0.23%, respectively. The decrease in the rate was primarily due to a decrease in carried interest and a decrease in revenue from lower average equity assets during the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Operating Expenses. Total Operating Expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 decreased $4.5 million, as compared to the same period in 2023. Other expense decreased $13.2 million primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates ($9.1 million) and costs associated with a fund restructuring in 2023 ($2.8 million). This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $6.0 million in Distribution expense due primarily to higher money market fund assets.
Total Operating Expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 increased $23.3 million, as compared to the same period in 2023. Intangible Asset Related expense increased $65.9 million primarily due to an impairment of a foreign intangible asset (see Note (10) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). Systems and Communications expense increased $5.4 million due to planned technology-driven initiatives. Professional Service Fees increased $5.2 million due primarily to technology initiatives. These increases were partially offset by (1) a decrease of $32.6 million in Compensation and Related expense primarily due to carried interest paid as compensation and (2) a decrease of $22.6 million in Other expense primarily due to the costs associated with a fund restructuring in 2023 ($10.9 million) and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates ($8.4 million).
Nonoperating Income (Expenses). Nonoperating Income (Expenses), net increased $11.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to a $11.4 million increase in Gain (Loss) on Securities, net due to an increase in the market value of investments in the third quarter 2024 compared to a decrease in the market value of investments in the same period of 2023.
Nonoperating Income (Expenses), net increased $9.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily due to (1) a $6.7 million increase in Gain (Loss) on Securities, net from a larger increase in the market value of investments in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the increase in the market value of investments during the same period in 2023 and (2) a $2.6 million increase in Investment Income, net primarily due to an increase in investment yields in 2024 as compared to the investment yields during the same period in 2023.
Income Taxes. The income tax provision was $32.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $26.7 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in the income tax provision was primarily due to an increase in U.S. income tax resulting from increased U.S. income. The effective tax rate was 26.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 26.5% for the same period in 2023.
The income tax provision was $84.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $75.3 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in the income tax provision was primarily due to an increase in U.S. income tax resulting from increased U.S. income. The effective tax rate was 31.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 25.6% for the same period in 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of a valuation allowance on foreign deferred tax assets and the impairment of a foreign indefinite-lived intangible asset.
Pillar Two legislation has been enacted in certain jurisdictions in which Federated Hermes operates. The legislation is effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2024. Federated Hermes is in scope of the enacted legislation and has performed an
37
Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (unaudited)
assessment of its potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes based on the most recent tax filings, country-by-country report and financial statements for the constituent entities of Federated Hermes. Based on the assessment, for fiscal year 2024 Federated Hermes expects to be able to rely on the transitional safe harbor for each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. As a result, Federated Hermes does not expect a material exposure to Pillar Two income taxes in those jurisdictions. This assessment will continue to be monitored and updated as additional guidance and/or legislation is released.
Net Income Attributable to Federated Hermes, Inc. Net income increased $12.5 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of the changes in revenues, expenses, nonoperating income (expenses) and income taxes noted above. Diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 increased $0.20, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased net income ($0.15) and by a decrease in shares outstanding resulting from share repurchases ($0.05).
Net income decreased $33.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of the changes in revenues, expenses, nonoperating income (expenses) and income taxes noted above. Diluted earnings per share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 decreased $0.24, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to decreased net income ($0.39), partially offset by a decrease in shares outstanding resulting from share repurchases ($0.15).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquid Assets. At September 30, 2024, liquid assets, net of noncontrolling interests, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, investments and receivables, totaled $631.1 million, as compared to $656.4 million at December 31, 2023. The change in liquid assets is discussed below.
At September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes’ liquid assets included investments in certain money market and fluctuating-value Federated Hermes Funds that may have direct and/or indirect exposures to international sovereign debt and currency risks. Federated Hermes continues to actively monitor its investment portfolios to manage sovereign debt and currency risks with respect to certain European countries, China and certain other countries subject to economic sanctions. Federated Hermes’ experienced portfolio managers and analysts work to evaluate credit risk through quantitative and fundamental analysis. Further, regarding international exposure, certain money market funds (representing approximately $332.5 million in AUM) that meet the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act (Rule 2a-7) or operate in accordance with requirements similar to those in Rule 2a-7, include holdings with indirect short-term exposures invested primarily in high-quality international bank names that are subject to Federated Hermes’ credit analysis process.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $219.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $182.2 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in cash provided was primarily due to (1) a $17.9 million payment made in 2023 representing a settlement with affected shareholders related to an administrative error (see Note (17) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information) and (2) a decrease of $14.0 million in cash paid for the net purchases of trading securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. These increases were partially offset by an increase of cash paid for taxes of $13.9 million.
Cash Provided by Investing Activities. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was $22.9 million, which primarily represented $75.5 million in cash received from redemptions of Investments—Affiliates and Other, partially offset by $45.1 million paid for purchases of Investments—Affiliates and Other.
Cash Used by Financing Activities. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, net cash used by financing activities was $260.1 million due primarily to $159.6 million or $1.90 per share of dividends paid to holders of Federated Hermes common shares and $114.2 million of treasury stock purchases.
Long-Term Debt. On March 17, 2022, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, Federated Hermes issued unsecured senior Notes in the aggregate amount of $350 million at a fixed interest rate of 3.29% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears in March and September in each year of the agreement. The entire principal amount of the $350 million Notes will become due March 17, 2032. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and PNC Capital Markets LLC acted as lead placement agents in relation to the $350 million Notes and certain subsidiaries of Federated Hermes are guarantors of the obligations owed under the Note Purchase Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the $350 million Notes, net of unamortized issuance costs in the amount of $2.0 million, was $348.0 million and was recorded in Long-Term Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The proceeds were, or will be, used to supplement cash flow from operations, to fund share repurchases and
38
Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (unaudited)
potential acquisitions, to pay down debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement and for other general corporate purposes. See Note (11) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Note Purchase Agreement.
As of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes’ Credit Agreement consists of a $350 million revolving credit facility with an additional $200 million available via an optional increase (or accordion) feature. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes including cash payments related to acquisitions, dividends, investments and share repurchases. As of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes has $350 million available to borrow under the Credit Agreement and an additional $200 million available via its optional accordion feature. See Note (11) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Both the Note Purchase Agreement and Credit Agreement include an interest coverage ratio covenant (consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to consolidated interest expense) and a leverage ratio covenant (consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA) as well as other customary terms and conditions. Federated Hermes was in compliance with all of its covenants, including its interest coverage and leverage ratios at and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. An interest coverage ratio of at least 4 to 1 is required and, as of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes’ interest coverage ratio was 40 to 1. A leverage ratio of no more than 3 to 1 is required and, as of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes’ leverage ratio was 0.72 to 1.
Both the Note Purchase Agreement and the Credit Agreement have certain stated events of default and cross default provisions which would permit the lenders/counterparties to accelerate the repayment of debt outstanding if not cured within the applicable grace periods. The events of default generally include breaches of contract, failure to make required loan payments, insolvency, cessation of business, notice of lien or assessment, and other proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, that would require the repayment of amounts borrowed.
Future Cash Needs. Management expects that principal uses of cash will include funding business acquisitions and global expansion, funding distribution expenditures, paying incentive and base compensation, paying shareholder dividends, paying debt obligations, paying taxes, repurchasing company stock, developing and seeding new offerings, modifying existing offerings and relationships, maintaining regulatory liquidity and capital requirements and funding property and equipment expenditures. In addition, Federated Hermes expects to invest approximately $295 million (including the allocation of approximately $195 million in existing technology-related overhead, primarily the compensation expense of existing employees, and an external spend of approximately $100 million) over the next three years to support a number of planned technology-driven initiatives. Any number of factors may cause Federated Hermes’ future cash needs to increase. As a result of the highly regulated nature of the investment management business, management anticipates that aggregate expenditures for compliance and investment management personnel, compliance systems and technology and related professional and consulting fees could continue to increase.
On October 24, 2024, the Board declared a $0.31 per share dividend to Federated Hermes’ Class A and Class B common stock shareholders of record as of November 8, 2024 to be paid on November 15, 2024.
After evaluating Federated Hermes’ existing liquid assets, expected continuing cash flow from operations, its borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement and its ability to obtain additional financing arrangements and issue debt or stock, management believes it will have sufficient liquidity to meet both its short-term and reasonably foreseeable long-term cash needs.
Financial Position
The following discussion summarizes significant changes in assets and liabilities that are not discussed elsewhere in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies at September 30, 2024 increased $45.8 million from December 31, 2023 primarily due to consolidations of one VIE and four VREs.
Investments—Affiliates and Other at September 30, 2024 decreased $33.3 million from December 31, 2023 primarily due to net redemptions.
Accrued Compensation and Benefits at September 30, 2024 decreased $31.2 million from December 31, 2023 primarily due to the 2023 accrued annual incentive compensation being paid in the first half of 2024 ($129.4 million), partially offset by 2024 incentive compensation accruals recorded at September 30, 2024 ($97.8 million).

Long-Term Lease Liabilities at September 30, 2024 decreased $10.2 million from December 31, 2023 primarily due to payments made on leases in 2024.
Legal Proceedings    
Federated Hermes has claims asserted against it from time to time. See Note (17) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a list of new accounting standards applicable to Federated Hermes, see Note (2) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Federated Hermes’ Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management continually evaluates the accounting policies and estimates it uses to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, information from third-party professionals and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results can differ from those estimates made by management and those differences may be material.
Of the significant accounting policies described in Federated Hermes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, management believes that indefinite-lived intangible assets included in its Goodwill and Intangible Assets policy involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity. See Federated Hermes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the section Critical Accounting Policies for a complete discussion of this policy.
Due to actual results trailing projected results, driven by a combination of lower gross sales and higher redemptions for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, management concluded that an indicator of potential impairment existed as of June 30, 2024 for the indefinite-lived intangible asset related to the FHL right to manage public fund assets which totaled £124.4 million at March 31, 2024 and was acquired in connection with the 2018 FHL acquisition. Management used an income-based approach, the discounted cash flow method, in valuing the asset, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of £52.2 million ($66.3 million). During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, management did not identify any indicators for potential impairment of the indefinite-lived intangible asset related to the FHL right to manage public fund assets.
Any market volatility and other events related to geopolitical or other unexpected events in the future could further reduce the AUM, revenues and earnings associated with this intangible asset and could result in subsequent impairment tests being based upon updated assumptions and future cash flow projections, which could result in an impairment. For additional information on risks related to geopolitical or other unexpected events, see Item 1A - Risk Factors included in Federated Hermes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of September 30, 2024, there were no material changes to Federated Hermes’ exposures to market risk that would require an update to the disclosures provided in Federated Hermes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Federated Hermes carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including Federated Hermes’ President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of Federated Hermes’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that Federated Hermes’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective at September 30, 2024.
(b)There has been no change in Federated Hermes’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Federated Hermes’ internal control over financial reporting.

Part II, Item 5. Other Information
Insider Trading Arrangements
While certain officers have elected in advance to satisfy tax obligations arising from the vesting of awards of periodic and bonus restricted Federated Hermes Class B Common Stock through the sale of sufficient shares of such stock necessary to satisfy such tax obligations in the open-market, no director or officer adopted, modified or terminated a Rule 10b5-1(c) or a non-Rule 10b5-1(c) trading arrangement during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Federated Hermes, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, Federated Hermes) provide investment advisory, administrative, distribution and other services to various investment products, including sponsored investment companies, collective funds and other funds (Federated Hermes Funds) and separate accounts (which include separately managed accounts, institutional accounts, certain sub-advised funds and other managed products, collectively Separate Accounts) in both domestic and international markets. In addition, Federated Hermes markets and provides stewardship and real estate development services to various domestic and international companies. The interim consolidated financial statements of Federated Hermes included herein (Consolidated Financial Statements) have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein and in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Federated Hermes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain items reported in previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

For nearly all revenue, Federated Hermes is not required to disclose certain estimates of revenue expected to be recorded in future periods as a result of applying the following exemptions: (1) contract terms are short-term in nature (i.e., expected duration of one year or less due to termination provisions) and (2) the expected variable consideration would be allocated entirely to future service periods.
Federated Hermes expects to recognize revenue in the future related to the unsatisfied portion of the stewardship services and real estate development performance obligations at September 30, 2024. Generally, contracts are billed in arrears on a quarterly basis and have a three-year duration, after which the customer can terminate the agreement with notice, generally from three to twelve months. Based on existing contracts and the applicable foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes may recognize future fixed revenue from these services as presented in the following table:

A significant and prolonged decline in the AUM in these funds could have a material adverse effect on Federated Hermes’ future revenues and, to a lesser extent, net income, due to a related reduction in distribution expenses associated with these funds.
(c) Revenue Concentration by Intermediary
Approximately 10% of Federated Hermes’ total revenue for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, and 11% for both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, was derived from services provided to one intermediary, The Bank of New York Corporation, including its Pershing subsidiary. Significant negative changes in Federated Hermes’ relationship with this intermediary could have a material adverse effect on Federated Hermes’ future revenues and, to a lesser extent, net income due to a related reduction in distribution expenses associated with this intermediary.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Consolidation Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Federated Hermes, certain Federated Hermes Funds, carried interest vehicles and other entities in which Federated Hermes holds a controlling financial interest. Federated Hermes is involved with various entities in the normal course of business that may be deemed to be voting rights entities (VREs) or variable interest entities (VIEs). From time to time, Federated Hermes invests in Federated Hermes Funds for general corporate investment purposes or, in the case of newly launched offerings, in order to provide investable cash to establish a performance history. Federated Hermes’ investment in, and/or receivables from, these Federated Hermes Funds represents its maximum exposure to loss. The assets of each consolidated Federated Hermes Fund are restricted for use by that Federated Hermes Fund.
Generally, neither creditors of, nor equity investors in, the Federated Hermes Funds have any recourse to Federated Hermes’ general credit. Given that the entities consolidated by Federated Hermes generally follow investment company accounting, which prescribes fair-value accounting, a deconsolidation generally does not result in the recognition of gains or losses for Federated Hermes.
In the ordinary course of business, Federated Hermes could implement fee waivers, rebates or expense reimbursements for various Federated Hermes Funds for competitive reasons (such as waivers to maintain the yields of certain money market funds at or above zero (Voluntary Yield-related Fee Waivers) or to maintain certain fund expense ratios/yields), to meet regulatory requirements or to meet contractual requirements (collectively, Fee Waivers). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Fee Waivers totaled $110.3 million and $321.6 million, respectively, of which $83.3 million and $241.8 million, respectively, related to money market funds which meet the scope exception of the consolidation guidance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, Fee Waivers totaled $142.4 million and $398.8 million, respectively, of which $114.0 million and $313.5 million, respectively, related to money market funds which meet the scope exception of the consolidation guidance.
Like other sponsors of investment companies, Federated Hermes in the ordinary course of business could make capital contributions to certain affiliated money market Federated Hermes Funds in connection with the reorganization of such funds into certain other affiliated money market Federated Hermes Funds or in connection with the liquidation of money market Federated Hermes Funds. In these instances, such capital contributions typically are intended to either offset realized losses or other permanent impairments to a fund’s net asset value (NAV), increase the market-based NAV per share of the fund’s portfolio that is being reorganized to equal the market-based NAV per share of the acquiring fund or to bear a portion of expenses relating to a fund liquidation. Under current money market fund regulations and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance, Federated Hermes is required to report these types of capital contributions to U.S. money market mutual funds to the SEC as financial support to the investment company that is being reorganized or liquidated. There were no contributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
In accordance with Federated Hermes’ consolidation accounting policy, Federated Hermes first determines whether the entity being evaluated is a VRE or a VIE. Once this determination is made, Federated Hermes proceeds with its evaluation of whether to consolidate the entity. The disclosures below represent the results of such evaluations as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
(a) Consolidated Voting Rights Entities
Although most of the Federated Hermes Funds meet the definition of a VRE, Federated Hermes consolidates VREs only when it is deemed to have control. Consolidated VREs are reported on Federated Hermes’ Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily in Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries.
(b) Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
As of the periods ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Federated Hermes was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated, certain entities as a result of its controlling financial interest. The following table presents the balances related to the consolidated VIEs that were included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as well as Federated Hermes’ net interest in the consolidated VIEs for each period presented:

Less: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries33.3 11.6 
Federated Hermes’ Net Interest in VIEs$28.1 $15.1 
Federated Hermes’ net interest in the consolidated VIEs represents the value of Federated Hermes’ economic ownership interest in those VIEs. Federated Hermes consolidated one VIE in the first quarter 2024 due primarily to redemptions from outside investors, which was subsequently deconsolidated in the second quarter 2024 due primarily to additional investments from
outside investors. Federated Hermes consolidated one VIE in the third quarter 2024 due to additional investments by Federated Hermes. There was no material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Income as a result of this consolidation and deconsolidation on a net basis.
(c) Non-Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Federated Hermes’ involvement with certain Federated Hermes Funds that are deemed to be VIEs includes serving as investment manager, or, at times, holding a minority interest or both. Federated Hermes’ variable interest is not deemed to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, Federated Hermes is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and has not consolidated these entities.
Federated Hermes’ maximum risk of loss related to investments in variable interests in non-consolidated VIEs was $165.1 million (primarily recorded in Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) at September 30, 2024 and was $133.9 million (primarily recorded in Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) at December 31, 2023, and was entirely related to Federated Hermes Funds. AUM for these non-consolidated Federated Hermes Funds totaled $10.6 billion and $9.3 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Of the Receivables—Affiliates at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, was related to non-consolidated VIEs and represented Federated Hermes’ maximum risk of loss from non-consolidated VIE receivables.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Federated Hermes held investments in non-consolidated fluctuating-value Federated Hermes Funds of $66.5 million and $99.5 million, respectively, primarily in mutual funds which represent equity investments for Federated Hermes, and held investments in Separate Accounts of $7.2 million and $7.5 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that were included in Investments—Affiliates and Other on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Federated Hermes’ investments held in Separate Accounts as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were primarily composed of stocks of large domestic and foreign companies ($3.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively) and domestic debt securities ($2.4 million for both periods).
Federated Hermes consolidates certain Federated Hermes Funds into its Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of its controlling financial interest in these Federated Hermes Funds (see Note (6)). All investments held by these consolidated Federated Hermes Funds were included in Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies on Federated Hermes’ Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The investments held by consolidated Federated Hermes Funds as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were composed of domestic and foreign debt securities ($87.8 million and $59.1 million, respectively), stocks of large domestic and foreign companies ($16.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively), stocks of small and mid-sized domestic and foreign companies ($8.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively) and mutual funds ($4.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively).

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability as of the measurement date. A fair value reporting hierarchy exists for disclosure of fair value measurements based on the observability of the inputs to the valuation of financial assets and liabilities. The levels are:
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 assets can include equity and debt securities that are traded in an active exchange market, including shares of mutual funds.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 assets and liabilities may include debt and equity securities, purchased loans and over-the-counter derivative contracts whose fair value is determined using a pricing model without significant unobservable market data inputs.
Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets.
NAV Practical Expedient – Investments that calculate NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. These investments have been excluded from the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Federated Hermes did not hold any nonfinancial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents include deposits with banks and investments in money market funds. Investments in money market funds totaled $341.5 million and $333.3 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Cash investments in publicly available money market funds are valued under the market approach through the use of quoted market prices in an active market, which is the NAV of the funds, and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies
Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies represent securities held by consolidated Federated Hermes Funds. For publicly traded securities available in an active market, the fair value of these securities is classified as Level 1 when the fair value is based on quoted market prices. The fair values of certain securities held by consolidated Federated Hermes Funds which are determined by third-party pricing services and utilize observable market inputs of comparable investments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Investments—Affiliates and Other
Investments—Affiliates and Other primarily represent investments in fluctuating-value Federated Hermes Funds, as well as investments held in Separate Accounts. For investments in fluctuating-value Federated Hermes Funds that are publicly available, the securities are valued under the market approach through the use of quoted market prices available in an active market, which is the NAV of the funds, and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. For publicly traded securities available in an active market, the fair value of these securities is classified as Level 1 when the fair value is based on quoted market prices. The fair values of certain securities which are determined by third-party pricing services and utilize observable market inputs of comparable investments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Acquisition-related future contingent consideration liabilities
From time to time, pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with certain business combinations and asset acquisitions, Federated Hermes could be required to make future consideration payments if certain contingencies are met. In connection with certain business combinations, Federated Hermes records a liability representing the estimated fair value of future consideration payments as of the acquisition date. The liability is subsequently re-measured at fair value on a recurring basis with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. As of September 30, 2024, acquisition-related future consideration liabilities of $8.3 million were primarily related to business combinations made in 2022 and 2020 and were recorded in Other Current Liabilities ($5.4 million) and Other Long-Term Liabilities ($2.9 million) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management estimated the fair value of future consideration payments based primarily upon expected future cash flows using an income approach valuation methodology with unobservable market data inputs (Level 3).
The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for Federated Hermes’ liability for future consideration payments related to these business combinations:
(in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2023$7,626 
Changes in Fair Value1,163 
Contingent Consideration Payments(529)
Balance at September 30, 2024$8,260 
Investments using Practical Expedients
For investments in mutual funds that are not publicly available but for which the NAV is calculated monthly and for which there are redemption restrictions, the investments are valued using NAV as a practical expedient and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these investments totaled $20.0 million and $19.9 million, respectively, and were recorded in Other Long-Term Assets.
(b) Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
Federated Hermes did not hold any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2024.
(c) Fair Value Measurements of Other Financial Instruments
The fair value of Federated Hermes’ debt is estimated by management using observable market data (Level 2). Based on this fair value estimate, the carrying value of debt appearing on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value, net of unamortized issuance costs in the amount of $2.0 million.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
Intangible Assets, including Goodwill Intangible Assets, including Goodwill
Intangible Assets, net at September 30, 2024 decreased $66.9 million from December 31, 2023 primarily due to a $66.3 million non-cash impairment of an indefinite-lived intangible asset recognized at June 30, 2024, $9.8 million of amortization expense offset by a $8.2 million increase in the value of intangible assets denominated in a foreign currency as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Due to actual results trailing projected results, driven by a combination of lower gross sales and higher redemptions for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, management concluded that an indicator of potential impairment existed as of June 30, 2024 for the indefinite-lived intangible asset related to the FHL right to manage public fund assets acquired in connection with the 2018 FHL acquisition. Management used an income-based approach, the discounted cash flow method, to value the asset as of June 30, 2024, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $66.3 million. The non-cash impairment was recorded in Operating Expenses - Intangible Asset Related on the Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no impairments recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Goodwill at September 30, 2024 increased $6.4 million from December 31, 2023 as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on goodwill denominated in a foreign currency.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
Debt Debt
Unsecured Senior Notes
On March 17, 2022, Federated Hermes entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (Note Purchase Agreement) by and among Federated Hermes and the purchasers of certain unsecured senior notes in the aggregate amount of $350 million ($350 million Notes), at a fixed interest rate of 3.29% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears in March and September in each year of the agreement. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and PNC Capital Markets LLC acted as lead placement agents in relation to the $350 million Notes and certain subsidiaries of Federated Hermes are guarantors of the obligations owed under the Note Purchase Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, $348.0 million, net of unamortized issuance costs in the amount of $2.0 million, was recorded in Long-Term Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The entire principal amount of the $350 million Notes will become due March 17, 2032, subject to certain prepayment requirements under limited conditions. Federated Hermes can elect to prepay the $350 million Notes under certain limited circumstances including with a make-whole amount if prepaid without the consent of the holders of the $350 million Notes. The Note Purchase Agreement does not feature a facility for the further issuance of additional notes or borrowing of any other amounts and there is no commitment fee payable in connection with the $350 million Notes.
The Note Purchase Agreement includes representations and warranties, affirmative and negative financial covenants, including an interest coverage ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant, reporting requirements, other non-financial covenants and other customary terms and conditions. Federated Hermes was in compliance with all of its covenants at and during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information.
The Note Purchase Agreement includes certain stated events of default and cross default provisions which would permit the lenders/counterparties to accelerate the repayment of the $350 million Notes if not cured within the applicable grace periods. The events of default generally include breaches of contract, failure to make required payments, insolvency, certain material misrepresentations and other proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, that would require repayment of the $350 million Notes prior to their stated date of maturity. Any such accelerated amounts would accrue interest at a default rate and could include an additional make-whole amount upon repayment. The $350 million Notes rank without preference or priority in relation to other unsecured and senior indebtedness of Federated Hermes.
Revolving Credit Facility
On July 30, 2021, Federated Hermes entered into an unsecured Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Federated Hermes, certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors party thereto, a syndicate of eleven banks as Lenders party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association as administrative agent, PNC Capital Markets LLC, as sole bookrunner and joint lead arranger, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., as joint lead arranger, Citibank, N.A. as syndication agent, and Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch as documentation agent (Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement consists of a $350 million revolving credit facility with an additional $200 million available via an optional increase (or accordion) feature. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, stock repurchases, dividend payments (including any special dividend payments), and acquisitions.
The interest on borrowings from the revolving credit facility is calculated at the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) which includes a benchmark adjustment based on its historical relationship to the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR). The borrowings under the revolving credit facility may include up to $50 million for which interest is calculated at the daily SOFR plus a spread unless a base rate option is elected (Swing Line). Effective July 1, 2023, Federated Hermes began using SOFR as a replacement to LIBOR in order to calculate interest on borrowings, if any, as permitted by the Credit Agreement. This is only a change to the rate index used for future borrowings under the Credit Agreement due to the discontinuance of LIBOR in the market and is not an amendment to the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement, which expires on July 30, 2026, has no principal payment schedule, but instead requires that any outstanding principal be repaid by the expiration date. Federated Hermes, however, can elect to make discretionary principal payments. There was no activity on the Credit Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The commitment fee under the Credit Agreement is 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion of each Lender’s commitment. As of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes has $350 million available for borrowings under the revolving credit facility and an additional $200 million available via its optional accordion feature.
The Credit Agreement includes representations and warranties, affirmative and negative financial covenants, including an interest coverage ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant, reporting requirements, other non-financial covenants and other customary terms and conditions. Federated Hermes was in compliance with all covenants at and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information.
The Credit Agreement also has certain stated events of default and cross default provisions which would permit the lenders/counterparties to accelerate the repayment of debt outstanding if not cured within the applicable grace periods. The events of default generally include breaches of contract, failure to make required loan payments, insolvency, cessation of business, notice of lien or assessment, and other proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, that would require the repayment of amounts borrowed. The Credit Agreement also requires certain subsidiaries to enter into a Third Amended and Restated Continuing Agreement of Guaranty and Suretyship to guarantee payment of all obligations incurred through the Credit Agreement.

Equity [Abstract]  
Equity Equity
In October 2023, the Federated Hermes, Inc. board of directors (Board) authorized a share repurchase program with no stated expiration date that allows the repurchase of up to 5.0 million shares of Class B common stock. No other program existed as of September 30, 2024. The program authorizes executive management to determine the timing and the amount of shares for each purchase. The repurchased stock is to be held in treasury for employee share-based compensation plans, potential acquisitions and other corporate activities, unless the Board subsequently determines to retire the repurchased stock and restore the shares to authorized but unissued status (rather than holding the shares in treasury). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes repurchased approximately 3.5 million shares of its Class B common stock for $111.5 million, nearly all of which were repurchased in the open market. At September 30, 2024, approximately 1.2 million shares remain available to be repurchased under this share repurchase program. See Note (19) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding a new share repurchase program approved on October 24, 2024.
The following table presents the activity for the Class B common stock and Treasury stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Class A shares have been excluded as there was no activity during these same periods.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Contractual
From time to time, pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with certain business combinations and asset acquisitions, Federated Hermes is obligated to make future payments under various agreements to which it is a party. See Note (8) for additional information regarding these payments.
(b) Guarantees and Indemnifications
On an intercompany basis, various subsidiaries of Federated Hermes guarantee certain financial obligations of Federated Hermes, Inc. and of other consolidated subsidiaries, and Federated Hermes, Inc. guarantees certain financial and performance-related obligations of various wholly-owned subsidiaries. Federated Hermes or its subsidiaries also can guarantee the obligations of certain offerings, such as direct lending funds, as a condition to making seed or other investments in them.
In addition, in the normal course of business, Federated Hermes has entered into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications. Typically, obligations to indemnify third parties arise in the context of contracts entered into by Federated Hermes, under which Federated Hermes agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising out of the contract, provided the other party’s actions are not deemed to have breached an agreed-upon standard of care. In each of these circumstances, payment by Federated Hermes is contingent on the other party making a claim for indemnity, subject to Federated Hermes’ right to challenge the claim. Further, Federated Hermes’ obligations under these agreements can be limited in terms of time and/or amount. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of Federated Hermes’ obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. As of September 30, 2024, management does not believe that a material loss related to any of these matters is reasonably possible.
(c) Legal Proceedings
Like other companies, Federated Hermes has claims asserted and threatened against it in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2024, Federated Hermes does not believe that a material loss related to any of these claims is reasonably possible.
(d) Other
During the first quarter 2023, an administrative error was identified related to a failure to register certain shares of a Federated Hermes closed-end tender fund. Federated Hermes estimated a probable cost of $19.6 million as of September 30, 2024 related to correcting this issue, of which $17.9 million represents a settlement with affected shareholders that was paid during the second quarter 2023. During the first quarter 2023, Federated Hermes recorded $2.5 million to Operating Expenses - Other representing Federated Hermes' retention under the insurance policy. Management believes an insurance reimbursement of $15.9 million is probable based on the contractual terms of certain insurance policies. Accordingly, $15.9 million has been recorded to Receivables, net at September 30, 2024. However, the insurance claim is now the subject of litigation with two of Federated Hermes’ insurance carriers. Changes to these estimates, which are contingent upon resolution of the insurance claim with the applicable insurers, could be materially different from the amount Federated Hermes has recorded.
In connection with the restructuring of an infrastructure fund, Federated Hermes purchased certain limited partners’ rights to receive future carried interest at fair value, which was calculated by a third-party, for $9.8 million and was included in Operating Expenses - Other in the second quarter 2023. Due to the restructuring, an existing clawback risk on previously earned carried interest was removed. The purchase of these carried interest rights and related legal and professional fees and other costs are not deductible for tax purposes. An additional $5.1 million and $1.9 million in consideration was recorded in Operating Expenses - Other in the second half of 2023 and first half of 2024, respectively. Negotiations for additional consideration continue with one limited partner. The final consideration may be different from the amounts recorded and the difference could be material.

The income tax provision was $32.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $26.7 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in the income tax provision was primarily due to an increase in U.S. income
tax resulting from increased U.S. income. The effective tax rate was 26.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 26.5% for the same period in 2023.
The income tax provision was $84.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $75.3 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in the income tax provision was primarily due to an increase in U.S. income tax resulting from increased U.S. income. The effective tax rate was 31.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 25.6% for the same period in 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of a valuation allowance on foreign deferred tax assets and the impairment of a foreign indefinite-lived intangible asset.

Subsequent Events Subsequent Events
On October 24, 2024, the Board declared a $0.31 per share dividend to Federated Hermes’ Class A and Class B common stock shareholders of record as of November 8, 2024 to be paid on November 15, 2024.
On October 24, 2024, the Board authorized an additional share repurchase program with no stated expiration date that allows the repurchase of up to 5.0 million shares of Class B common stock. This program authorizes executive management to determine the timing and the amount of shares for each purchase. The repurchased stock is to be held in treasury for employee share-based compensation plans, potential acquisitions and other corporate activities, unless the Board subsequently determines to retire the repurchased stock and restore the shares to authorized but unissued status (rather than holding the shares in treasury). See Note (13) for additional information on Federated Hermes' share repurchase programs.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Federated Hermes, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, Federated Hermes) provide investment advisory, administrative, distribution and other services to various investment products, including sponsored investment companies, collective funds and other funds (Federated Hermes Funds) and separate accounts (which include separately managed accounts, institutional accounts, certain sub-advised funds and other managed products, collectively Separate Accounts) in both domestic and international markets. In addition, Federated Hermes markets and provides stewardship and real estate development services to various domestic and international companies. The interim consolidated financial statements of Federated Hermes included herein (Consolidated Financial Statements) have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.
Use of Estimates In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein and in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU updates reportable segment disclosures by expanding the frequency and extent of segment disclosures. The update is effective for Federated Hermes for the December 31, 2024 Form 10-K, and for interim periods starting in fiscal year 2025. Early adoption is permitted and requires the retrospective adoption method. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on Federated Hermes’ disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU updates income tax disclosures by requiring annual disclosures of disaggregated information, based on meeting a quantitative threshold, about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The update is effective for Federated Hermes for the December 31, 2025 Form 10-K, with early adoption permitted, and allows for either the prospective or retrospective adoption method. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on Federated Hermes’ disclosures. Management does not plan to early adopt this update and will elect the retrospective transition method.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability as of the measurement date. A fair value reporting hierarchy exists for disclosure of fair value measurements based on the observability of the inputs to the valuation of financial assets and liabilities. The levels are:
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 assets can include equity and debt securities that are traded in an active exchange market, including shares of mutual funds.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 assets and liabilities may include debt and equity securities, purchased loans and over-the-counter derivative contracts whose fair value is determined using a pricing model without significant unobservable market data inputs.
Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets.
NAV Practical Expedient – Investments that calculate NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. These investments have been excluded from the fair value hierarchy.
