Recurring revenues increased 7% to $1,424 million from $1,326 million. Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) was 7%, driven by Net New Business and Internal Growth. Event-driven revenues increased by $3 million, or 4%, to $79 million, primarily due to higher volume of mutual fund proxy communications. Distribution revenues increased $21 million, or 4%, to $563 million, driven by the impact of postage rate increases of approximately $29 million, partially offset by lower mail volumes. Operating income was $499 million, an increase of $57 million, or 13%. Operating income margin increased to 24.1%, compared to 22.7% for the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of $54 million of lower Restructuring and Other Related Costs in the current year period. Adjusted Operating income was $558 million, a decrease of $2 million, or 0% as the increase in Adjusted Operating expense more than offset the increase in Recurring revenue and Event-driven revenue. Adjusted Operating income margin decreased to 27.0%, compared to 28.8% for the prior year period. The combination of distribution revenue and float income negatively impacted margins by 10 basis points. Interest expense, net was $27 million, a decrease of $6 million, primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings. The effective tax rate was 20.6% compared to 21.2% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in discrete tax benefits which was partially offset by the increase in pre-tax income. The higher excess tax benefit related to equity compensation contributed to the increase in total discrete tax benefits. Net earnings increased 16% to $374 million and Adjusted Net earnings increased 1% to $420 million. Diluted earnings per share increased 16% to $3.16. Adjusted earnings per share increased 1% to $3.55.

By product line, Recurring revenue growth and Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) were as follows: Regulatory rose 8% and 8%, respectively. The positive impact of equity position growth of 18% was partially offset by growth in small or fractional non-revenue positions. Mutual fund/ETF position growth was 7%. Data-driven fund solutions was essentially flat, as growth in global distribution insights was offset by a decline in our retirement and workplace products. Issuer rose 3% and 3%, respectively, driven by growth in our registered shareholder solutions. Customer communications rose 3% and 3%, respectively, driven by growth in digital communications, partially offset by slower growth in print revenues. Event-driven revenues increased $3 million, or 4%, to $79 million, primarily due to higher volume of mutual fund proxy communications. Distribution revenues increased $21 million, or 4%, to $563 million, driven by the impact of postage rate increases of approximately $29 million, partially offset by lower mail volumes. Earnings before income taxes were $491 million, an increase of $22 million, or 5%, primarily from higher Recurring revenue. Operating expenses rose 5%, or $51 million, to $1,110 million, driven by the impact of the postage rate increase and higher technology related expenses. Pre-tax margins decreased to 30.6% from 30.7%. Global Technology and Operations ("GTO") GTO Recurring revenues were $465 million, an increase of $49 million, or 12%. Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) was 12%, driven by 6pts of organic growth and 5pts from the acquisition of SIS.

Organic Growth of 11pts included the benefit of 5pts from higher software term license revenue. Earnings before income taxes were $34 million, a decrease of $13 million, or 28%. Pre-tax margins decreased to 7.3% from 11.3% as higher revenues were more than offset by higher expenses, including the impact of growth investments and other initiatives. Corporate and Other Corporate and Other Loss before income taxes was $53 million compared to a loss of $106 million in the prior year period primarily due to the impact of $54 million of lower Restructuring and Other Related Costs and a Litigation Settlement Charge of $10 million in the prior year period, partially offset by lower net interest expense of $6 million. Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2025 compared to Fiscal Year 2024 Total revenues increased 6% to $6,889 million from $6,507 million in the prior year period. Recurring revenues increased 7% to $4,508 million from $4,223 million. Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) was 7%, driven primarily by organic growth in ICS and GTO and acquisitions in GTO.

The increase was primarily driven by higher Recurring revenues and higher event-driven revenues, partially offset by growth investments and other spending.

Acolin Acquisition Announcement On July 3, 2025, Broadridge announced the proposed acquisition of Acolin Group Holdco Limited ("Acolin"). Acolin is a leading European provider of cross-border fund distribution and regulatory services.

Explanation and Reconciliation of the Company's Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company's results in this press release are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP except where otherwise noted. In certain circumstances, results have been presented that are not generally accepted accounting principles measures ("Non-GAAP"). These Non-GAAP measures are Adjusted Operating income, Adjusted Operating income margin, Adjusted Net earnings, Adjusted earnings per share, Free cash flow, Free cash flow conversion and Recurring revenue growth constant currency. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's reported results. The Company believes our Non-GAAP financial measures help investors understand how management plans, measures and evaluates the Company's business performance. Management believes that Non-GAAP measures provide consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of the Company's operating results and trends by providing an additional basis for comparison. Management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate our ongoing operations, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. In addition, and as a consequence of the importance of these Non-GAAP financial measures in managing our business, the Company's Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors incorporates Non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation process for determining management compensation. Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share These Non-GAAP measures reflect Operating income, Operating income margin, Net earnings, and Diluted earnings per share, as adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items the exclusion of which management believes provides insight regarding our ongoing operating performance. Depending on the period presented, these adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain of the following items: (i) Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property, which represent non-cash amortization expenses associated with the Company's acquisition activities. (ii) Acquisition and Integration Costs, which represent certain transaction and integration costs associated with the Company's acquisition activities. (iii) Restructuring and Other Related Costs, which represent costs associated with the Company's Corporate Restructuring Initiative to exit and/or realign some of our businesses, streamline the Company's management structure, reallocate work to lower cost locations, and reduce headcount in deprioritized areas, in addition to other restructuring activities. (iv) Litigation Settlement Charges, which represent reserves established during the third and fourth quarter of 2024 related to the settlement of claims. We exclude Acquisition and Integration Costs, Restructuring and Other Related Costs, and Litigation Settlement Charges from our Adjusted Operating income (as applicable) and other adjusted earnings measures because excluding such information provides us with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business and enhances comparability across fiscal reporting periods, as these items are not reflective of our underlying operations or performance. We also exclude the impact of Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property, as these non-cash amounts are significantly impacted by the timing and size of individual acquisitions and do not factor into the Company's capital allocation decisions, management compensation metrics or multi-year objectives. Furthermore, management believes that this adjustment enables better comparison of our results as Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property will not recur in future periods once such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Although we exclude Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property from our adjusted earnings measures, our management believes that it is important for investors to understand that these intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Conversion In addition to the Non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, we provide Free cash flow information because we consider Free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated that could be used for dividends, share repurchases, strategic acquisitions, other investments, as well as debt servicing. Free cash flow is a Non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as Net cash flows provided by operating activities less Capital expenditures as well as Software purchases and capitalized internal use software. Free cash flow conversion is calculated as Free cash flow divided by Adjusted Net earnings for the given period. Recurring revenue growth constant currency As a multi-national company, we are subject to variability of our reported U.S. dollar results due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The exclusion of the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations from our Recurring revenue growth, or what we refer to as amounts expressed "on a constant currency basis," is a Non-GAAP measure. We believe that excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations from our Recurring revenue growth provides additional information that enables enhanced comparison to prior periods. Changes in Recurring revenue growth expressed on a constant currency basis are presented excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the comparative year, rather than at the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year. Reconciliations of such Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP can be found in the tables that are part of this press release.
