    NORWALK, Conn., June 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 fiscal 2024 ended May 31, 2024.

    Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Highlights

    • GAAP revenues increased 4.3%, or $22.9 million, to $552.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $529.8 million in the prior year period. Organic(1) revenues grew 4.5% year over year to $553.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Growth in GAAP and Organic revenues this quarter was driven by institutional asset managers, asset owners, partners and corporates.
    • Annual Subscription Value ("ASV") plus professional services was $2,219.2 million at May 31, 2024, compared with $2,120.1 million at May 31, 2023. Organic ASV plus professional services was $2,220.4 million at May 31, 2024, up 5.0% or $105.6 million year over year.
    • Organic ASV plus professional services increased $11.7 million over the last three months. Please see the “ASV + Professional Services” section of this press release for details.
    • GAAP operating margin increased to 36.6% compared with 32.5% for the prior year, mainly due to a reduction in bonus accruals, a one-time payroll tax adjustment, and a higher capitalization benefit. Adjusted operating margin improved to 39.4% compared with 36.0% in the prior year due to similar drivers.
    • GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") increased 18.2% to $4.09 compared with $3.46 for the same period in fiscal 2023, due to higher revenues, margin expansion, and reduced share count, partially offset by a higher provision for income taxes. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 15.3% to $4.37 compared with $3.79 for the prior year period, driven by growth in revenues, margin expansion, and reduced share count.
    • Adjusted EBITDA increased to $239.9 million, up 16.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with $205.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2023, due to higher operating income.
    • The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 slightly increased to 17.0% compared with 16.9% for the three months ended May 31, 2023, primarily due to higher pretax income, partially offset by increased utilization of foreign tax credits and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

    "FactSet has a long history of providing exceptional value to our clients,” said Phil Snow, CEO of FactSet. "We maintain an optimistic outlook as we further invest in our platform and harness the power of generative AI to accelerate our clients' efficiency and decrease their total cost of ownership."

    (1) References to "organic" figures in this press release exclude the current year impact of acquisitions and dispositions completed within the past twelve months and the current year impact from changes in foreign currency.

    "We continue to deliver value for our shareholders through increased EPS and adjusted operating margin, offsetting softness on the top line," said Linda Huber, FactSet’s CFO. "We are updating our organic ASV plus professional services guidance for fiscal 2024 and now expect growth will be in the range of $85 million to $120 million, which represents annual growth of 4.8% at the midpoint, reduced from our previous guidance of $110 million to $150 million."

    Annual Subscription Value (ASV) + Professional Services

    ASV at any given point in time represents the forward-looking revenues for the next 12 months from all subscription services currently supplied to clients. Professional services are revenues derived from project-based consulting and implementation services.

    ASV plus professional services was $2,219.2 million at May 31, 2024, compared with $2,120.1 million at May 31, 2023. Organic ASV plus professional services was $2,220.4 million at May 31, 2024, up $105.6 million from the prior year, for a growth rate of 5.0%. Organic ASV plus professional services increased $11.7 million over the last three months.

    Buy-side and sell-side organic ASV growth rates for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 were 5.3% and 3.7%, respectively. Buy-side clients, including institutional asset managers, wealth managers, asset owners, hedge funds, partners, and corporate clients, accounted for 82% of organic ASV. The remaining organic ASV came from sell-side firms, including broker-dealers, banking and advisory, and private equity and venture capital firms. Supplementary tables covering organic buy-side and sell-side ASV growth rates may be found on the last page of this press release.

    Segment Revenues and ASV

    ASV from the Americas region was $1,417.1 million compared with ASV in the prior year period of $1,344.7 million. Organic ASV increased 5.7% to $1,417.1 million. Americas revenues for the quarter increased to $356.5 million compared with $337.7 million in the third quarter of last year. The Americas region's organic revenues growth rate was 5.5%.

    ASV from the EMEA region was $565.7 million compared with ASV in the prior year period of $541.3 million. Organic ASV increased 4.4% to $565.5 million. EMEA revenues were $141.2 million compared with $138.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The EMEA region's organic revenues growth rate was 2.4%.

    ASV from the Asia Pacific region was $219.2 million compared with ASV in the prior year period of $209.8 million. Organic ASV increased 6.1% to $220.6 million. Asia Pacific revenues were $55.0 million compared with $54.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Asia Pacific region's organic revenues growth rate was 3.0%.

    Segment ASV does not include professional services, which totaled $17.2 million at May 31, 2024.

    Operational Highlights – Third Quarter Fiscal 2024

    • Client count as of May 31, 2024 was 8,029, a net increase of 9 clients in the past three months, with increases driven by wealth, corporates, and partners. The count includes clients with ASV of $10,000 and more.
    • User count increased by 1,662 to 208,140 in the past three months across all firm types except banking, mainly driven by wealth.
    • Annual ASV retention was greater than 95%. When expressed as a percentage of clients, annual retention was 90%.
    • Employee count was 12,262 as of May 31, 2024, up 1.6% over the last twelve months, with the increase primarily in the content group. FactSet's Centers of Excellence account for approximately 68% of the Company's employees.
    • Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $238.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $218.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily due to an increase in revenues and improved collection rates, as well as lower payments of our accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to timing. Quarterly free cash flow increased to $216.9 million compared with $192.6 million a year ago, an increase of 12.6%, primarily driven by an increase in net cash provided by operating activities.
    • A quarterly dividend of $39.6 million, or $1.04 per share, was paid on June 20, 2024, to holders of record of FactSet’s common stock at the close of business on May 31, 2024. This represented a 6% increase in the regular quarterly dividend from the $0.98 per share paid in the previous quarter and marks the 25th consecutive year the Company has increased dividends on a stock split-adjusted basis.
    • FactSet announced the release of its Transcript Assistant, a GenAI-powered, conversational chatbot that accelerates in-depth research and analysis of earnings call transcripts.
    • FactSet announced the release of its Portfolio Commentary solution. Powered by large language models (LLMs), Portfolio Commentary significantly reduces the challenging, time-consuming, and nuanced process of writing attribution summaries manually. Instead, with the click of a button, users can generate baseline and source-linked portfolio commentary for any attribution report in approximately 30-60 seconds.
    • In addition, in June 2024, FactSet made a $12.5 million investment in Aidentified, Inc., a leading AI-powered prospecting and relationship intelligence platform for financial services professionals. Aidentified provides financial advisors, marketing teams, and other sales professionals with tools to identify, qualify, and convert new client relationships.

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.

    Organic revenues excludes from revenues the current year impact of revenues from acquisitions and dispositions completed within the past twelve months and the current year impact from changes in foreign currency. Adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and non-recurring items. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA represent earnings before 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.
