Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 compared to Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025
Recurring revenues increased $84 million, or 7%, to $1,288 million. Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) was 6%, driven by organic growth in Investor Communication Solutions ("ICS") and Global Technology and Operations ("GTO") and acquisitions in ICS.
Event-driven revenues increased $20 million, or 38%, to $73 million, from a combination of higher mutual fund proxy revenues and higher equity and other revenues.
Distribution revenues increased $38 million, or 7%, to $593 million, driven primarily by the postage rate increase of approximately $34 million.
ICS
Total revenues were $1,465 million, an increase of $118 million, or 9%.
Recurring revenues increased $60 million, or 8%, to $800 million. Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) was 8%, driven by 4pts of Internal Growth, 2pts of Net New Business, and 1pt from acquisitions.
By product line, Recurring revenue growth and Recurring revenue growth constant currency (Non-GAAP) were as follows:
Regulatory rose 9% and 9%, respectively. Equity revenue position growth was 11% and Mutual fund/ETF position growth was 6%.
Data-driven fund solutions rose 9% and 8%, respectively, driven by growth in data and analytics revenues and the acquisitions of Acolin Group Holdco Limited ("Acolin") and LDI-MAP, LLC ("iJoin").
Issuer rose 8% and 8%, respectively, driven by growth in disclosure solutions and shareholder engagement solutions.
Customer communications rose 5% and 5%, respectively, driven by growth in digital revenues, as well as the acquisition of Signal Agency Limited ("Signal").
Event-driven revenues increased $20 million, or 38%, to $73 million, from a combination of higher mutual fund proxy revenues and higher equity and other revenues.
Distribution revenues increased $38 million, or 7%, to $593 million, driven primarily by the postage rate increase of approximately $34 million.
Earnings before income taxes increased by $17 million, or 6%, to $309 million, driven by higher Recurring revenue and Event-driven revenues. Operating expenses rose 10%, or $101 million, to $1,156 million driven by higher distribution expenses, volume-related expenses and the impact of acquisitions and investments.

Capital Markets rose 2% and (0)%, respectively, primarily driven by 4pts of revenue from new sales, which was partially offset by a 3pt decrease in internal growth. The benefit of higher trading volumes was offset by lower software term license revenue, which negatively impacted organic growth by 6pts.
Wealth and Investment Management rose 10% and 8%, respectively, driven by 8pts from internal growth, which benefitted from higher trading volumes.
Earnings before income taxes were $85 million, an increase of $15 million, or 21%, as higher revenues more than offset higher expenses.
Pre-tax margins increased to 17.5% from 15.2%. Corporate and Other
Loss before income taxes was $54 million compared to Loss before income taxes of $52 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher technology costs which more than offset a $6 million decline in Interest expense, net and a Gain on Digital Assets of $6 million.

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:
Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property, which represent non-cash amortization expenses associated with the Company's acquisition activities.
Acquisition and Integration Costs, which represent certain transaction and integration costs associated with the Company's acquisition activities.
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.
Gains or Losses on Digital Assets, which represents the mark to market gain or loss recorded to remeasure the Company's digital asset holdings in the form of Canton Coins to fair market value, in addition to the realized and unrealized gains or losses associated with the Company's contribution of Canton Coins to Canton Strategic Holdings, Inc. and the associated mark to market gain or loss recorded to remeasure the previously held Digital Asset Loan Receivable and Warrants to fair market value.
We exclude Acquisition and Integration Costs, Restructuring and Other Related Costs, and Gains or Losses on Digital Assets 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.

Refer to the "Results of Operations" section of Broadridge's Form 10-Q for a description of Closed sales and its calculation.
Position Growth is comprised of "equity position growth" and "mutual fund/ETF position growth." Equity position growth measures the estimated annual change in positions eligible for equity proxy materials. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company began presenting information on "equity revenue position growth". Equity revenue position growth excludes small or fractional equity positions for which the Company does not recognize revenue ("non-revenue positions"). Prior-year period comparative information for this metric is not available. Mutual fund/ETF position growth measures the estimated change in mutual fund and exchange traded fund positions eligible for interim communications. These metrics are calculated from equity proxy and mutual fund/ETF position data reported to Broadridge for the same issuers or funds in both the current and prior year periods.
Represents the estimated change in daily average trade volumes for clients whose contracts are linked to trade volumes and who were on Broadridge's trading platforms in both the current and prior year periods.
