Full-year 2021 EPS was $2.75, compared to $3.23 for 2020 on net income of $270.3 million for 2021, compared to $326.4 million for 2020. As reported for Q2 2021, Federated Hermes' results include a $14.5 million noncash U.K. tax expense, which had an $0.11 per diluted share impact for 2021.

"Federated Hermes' record assets at year-end 2021 were driven by fourth-quarter money market asset increases, market gains in long-term assets and our highest-ever annual net sales of $9 billion in long-term products," said J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer. "As a result of the historical low interest rates during the year, we derived 80% of our 2021 revenue from the diverse range of our actively managed strategies that comprise long-term categories—equity, fixed income, alternative/private markets and multi-asset."
Federated Hermes' board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share. The dividend is payable on Feb. 15, 2022 to shareholders of record as of Feb. 8, 2022.

Financial Summary
Q4 2021 vs. Q4 2020
Revenue decreased $42.3 million or 12% primarily due to an increase in voluntary fee waivers related to certain money market funds in order for those funds to maintain positive or zero net yields (voluntary yield-related fee waivers), a decrease in performance fees and lower average money market assets. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue due to higher average long-term assets. For further information on fee waivers, see "Impact of voluntary yield-related fee waivers," below.
During Q4 2021, Federated Hermes derived 81% of its revenue from long-term assets (52% from equity assets, 19% from fixed-income assets and 10% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 17% from money market assets, and 2% from sources other than managed assets.
Operating expenses decreased $16.1 million or 6% primarily due to decreased distribution expenses predominantly resulting from higher voluntary yield-related fee waivers and lower incentive compensation and related expenses.
Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $11.6 million or 79% primarily due to a larger increase in the market value of investments in Q4 2020 compared to Q4 2021.
Q4 2021 vs. Q3 2021
Revenue decreased $4.9 million or 2% primarily due to lower average equity assets.
Operating expenses increased by $4.9 million or 2% primarily due to an increase in advertising and promotional expenses and other expenses, partially offset by lower incentive compensation and related expenses.
Nonoperating income (expenses), net increased $4.8 million or 274% primarily due to a larger increase in the market value of investments in Q4 2021 compared to Q3 2021.
2021 vs. 2020
Revenue decreased $147.8 million or 10% primarily due to an increase in voluntary yield-related fee waivers and a decrease in revenue from lower average money market assets. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue due to higher average long-term assets.
During 2021, Federated Hermes derived 80% of its revenue from long-term assets (52% from equity assets, 18% from fixed-income assets and 10% from alternative/private markets and multi-asset), 19% from money market assets, and 1% from sources other than managed assets.
Operating expenses decreased by $95.9 million or 9% primarily due to decreased distribution expenses predominantly resulting from higher voluntary yield-related fee waivers.

Page 3 of 13
Nonoperating income (expenses), net decreased $17.9 million or 64% primarily due to a larger increase in the market value of investments in 2020 compared to 2021 and a gain recorded in 2020 from a fair value adjustment to the equity investment of a previously nonconsolidated entity.
Impact of voluntary yield-related fee waivers
For Q4 2021 and full-year 2021, voluntary yield-related fee waivers totaled $110.1 million and $420.3 million, respectively. These fee waivers were largely offset by related reductions in distribution expenses of $72.3 million and $277.2 million, respectively, such that the net negative pre-tax impact to Federated Hermes was $37.8 million and $143.2 million, respectively. During the three and 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2020, voluntary yield-related fee waivers totaled $56.1 million and $113.0 million, respectively. These fee waivers were largely offset by related reductions in distribution expenses of $47.4 million and $98.4 million, respectively, such that the net negative pre-tax impact to Federated Hermes was $8.7 million and $14.6 million for the three and 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2020, respectively.
Short-term interest rates remained near historic lows during Q4 2021 as technical factors at the front end of the yield curve kept yields on short-term government securities—including repurchase agreements and Treasury bills—just above zero. Market expectations are that the central bank will raise interest rates multiple times in 2022, starting in March. Higher yields in 2022 will lower the impact of voluntary yield-related fee waivers. The net negative impact on pre-tax income from voluntary yield-related fee waivers on money market mutual funds and certain separate accounts may be approximately $22 million during Q1 2022. Assuming an increase in interest rates of 25 basis points by the Federal Reserve in March 2022, the Q1 estimated $22 million of net negative impact on pre-tax income from voluntary yield-related waivers is expected to be reduced by approximately 90% for Q2. The amount of voluntary yield-related fee waivers can vary based on a number of factors, including, among others, interest rates, yields, asset levels, asset flows and the ability of distributors to share in waivers. Any change in these factors can impact the amount and level of voluntary yield-related fee waivers, including in a material way.
Federated Hermes' level of business activity and financial results are dependent upon many factors, including market conditions, investment performance and investor behavior. These factors and others, including asset levels and mix, product sales and redemptions, market appreciation or depreciation, revenues, fee waivers, expenses and regulatory changes, can significantly impact Federated Hermes' business activity levels and financial results. Risk factors and uncertainties that can influence Federated Hermes' financial results are discussed in the company's annual and quarterly reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
