NORWALK, Conn., June 22, 2023 - FactSet ("FactSet" or the "Company") (NYSE:FDS) (NASDAQ:FDS), a global financial digital platform and enterprise solutions provider, today announced results for its third quarter ended May 31, 2023.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights
•GAAP revenues increased 8.4%, or $41.1 million, to $529.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $488.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily due to Analytics & Trading and Content & Technology solutions. Organic revenue, which excludes the effects of acquisitions and dispositions completed within the last 12 months and foreign currency movements, grew 8.5% to $530.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 from the prior year period.
•Annual Subscription Value (ASV) plus professional services was $2.1 billion at May 31, 2023, compared with $2.01 billion at May 31, 2022. Organic ASV plus professional services, which excludes the effects of acquisitions and dispositions completed within the last 12 months and foreign currency movements, was $2.1 billion at May 31, 2023, up $156.6 million from the prior year at a growth rate of 8.0%.
•Organic ASV plus professional services increased $21.2 million over the last three months. The primary contributor to this growth was Analytics & Trading solutions. Please see the "ASV + Professional Services" section of this press release for details.
•GAAP operating margin increased to 32.5% compared with 19.9% for the prior year, driven by the lapping of the previous year's impairment charge of $49 million and $12 million of expenses related to the acquisition of CUSIP Global Services (CGS). Adjusted operating margin decreased to 36.0% compared with 36.6% in the prior year period due to higher personnel costs and technology expenses, partially offset by lower third-party content costs, lower facilities expenses, and favorable impact from foreign exchange.

•GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 79.3% to $3.46 compared with $1.93 for the same period in fiscal 2022, primarily due to lapping the prior year's non-recurring items, partially offset by increased income taxes. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 0.8% to $3.79, compared with $3.76 for the prior year period, driven by higher revenues mostly offset by higher income taxes.
•Adjusted EBITDA increased to $205.3 million, up 15.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $177.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2022, driven by higher operating income and the lapping of expenses related to the CGS acquisition.
•In connection with the acquisition of CGS, FactSet entered into a new credit agreement providing for a $1 billion term loan and revolving credit facilities. In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, FactSet paid $62.5 million towards the term loan, and as of May 31, 2023, FactSet had made a total of $562.5 million in total term loan payments.
•The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased to 16.9% compared with 12.2% for the three months ended May 31, 2022, primarily due to lower stock option exercises.

•FactSet updated its annual outlook for fiscal 2023. Please see the "Annual Business Outlook" section of this press release for details.
1 Prior year Total ASV now reflects additional CGS revenues not previously included.

Operational Highlights - Third Quarter Fiscal 2023

•Employee count was 12,072 as of May 31, 2023, up 12.9% over the last twelve months, with the increase primarily in our Centers of Excellence. Growth was largely driven by an increase in the content, product, and technology organizations. 65% of our employees are in our Centers of Excellence.
•Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $218.6 million compared with $192.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily related to higher net income as well as the timing of income tax payments, partially offset by a higher bonus payout in the current year.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors, including those discussed more fully elsewhere in this release and in FactSet's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly its latest annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as others, could cause results to differ materially from those stated.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Financial measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP including revenues, operating income and margin, net income, diluted earnings per share and cash provided by operating activities have been adjusted.

FactSet uses these adjusted financial measures both in presenting its results to stockholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of the business. The Company believes that these adjusted financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view the Company's performance using the same tools that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals. Investors may benefit from referring to these adjusted financial measures in assessing the Company's performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods and may also facilitate comparisons to its historical performance. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted revenues exclude the impact of the fair value of deferred revenues acquired in a business combination. Organic revenues further exclude the effects of acquisitions and dispositions completed in the last 12 months and foreign currency movements in all periods presented. Adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude intangible asset amortization, the impact of the fair value of deferred revenues acquired in a business combination and non-recurring items. EBITDA excludes interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense, while Adjusted EBITDA further excludes non-recurring non-cash expenses. The Company believes that these adjusted financial measures help to fully reflect the underlying economic performance of FactSet.

Cash flows provided by operating activities has been reduced by purchases of property, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized internal-use software to report non-GAAP free cash flow. FactSet uses this financial measure both in presenting its results to stockholders and the investment community and in the Company's internal evaluation and management of the business. Management believes that this financial measure is useful to investors because it permits investors to view the Company's performance using the same metric that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals and is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund further investments in future growth initiatives.
