Recurring revenues increased $78 million, or 7%, to $1,204 million. Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) was 8%, driven by organic growth in ICS and GTO and an acquisition in GTO. Event-driven revenues decreased $14 million, or 21%, to $53 million, driven by a lower level of equity proxy contest activity. Distribution revenues increased $22 million, or 4%, to $555 million, driven by the postage rate increase of approximately $32 million which more than offset lower mail volumes. Operating income was $345 million, an increase of $42 million, or 14%. Operating income margin increased to 19.0%, compared to 17.5% for the prior year period, primarily due to higher Recurring revenues. Adjusted Operating income was $405 million, an increase of $36 million, or 10%. Adjusted Operating income margin was 22.4% compared to 21.4% for the prior year period. The combination of higher distribution revenue and higher float income negatively impacted margins by 10 basis points. Interest expense, net was $31 million, a decrease of $4 million, primarily due to lower average borrowing rates. The effective tax rate was 21.8% compared to 19.8% in the prior year period. The change in effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by lower discrete tax benefits, partially offset by a higher excess tax benefit related to equity compensation.

Diluted earnings per share increased 15% to $2.05, compared to $1.79 in the prior year period, and Adjusted earnings per share increased 9% to $2.44, compared to $2.23 in the prior year period.

By product line, Recurring revenue growth and Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) were as follows: Regulatory rose 6% and 6%, respectively. The positive impact of equity position growth of 15% was partially offset by growth in small or fractional non-revenue positions. Mutual fund/ETF position growth was 6%.

Issuer rose 2% and 2%, respectively, driven by growth in shareholder engagement solutions.

Event-driven revenues decreased $14 million, or 21%, to $53 million, driven by a lower level of equity proxy contest activity.

Earnings before income taxes increased by $23 million, or 8%, to $293 million, from higher Recurring revenues. Operating expenses rose 2%, or $24 million, to $1,055 million driven by the impact of the postage rate increase partially offset by the decline in other expenses.

Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) was 11%, driven by 6pts from the acquisition of Kyndryl's Securities Industry Services business ("SIS") and 5pts of organic growth. By product line, Recurring revenue growth and the corresponding Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) were as follows: Capital Markets rose 9% and 10%, respectively, driven by Internal Growth and revenue from new sales.

Earnings before income taxes were $70 million, an increase of $17 million, or 32%, as higher revenues more than offset higher expenses, including the impact of the SIS acquisition. Pre-tax margins increased to 15.2% from 12.5%. Other Loss before income taxes was $52 million compared to $57 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a decline in interest expense and litigation expense partially offset by severance related restructuring expenses.

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, 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 are 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) Litigation Settlement Charge, which represents reserves established during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 related to the settlement of a claim, and (iv) 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. We exclude Acquisition and Integration Costs, Litigation Settlement Charge and Restructuring and Other Related Costs 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 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. 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.
