NORWALK, Conn., Dec. 19, 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 first quarter fiscal 2025 ended November 30, 2024.

First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights

GAAP revenues increased 4.9%, or $26.5 million, to $568.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $542.2 million in the prior year period. Organic⁽¹⁾ revenues grew 4.7% year over year to $567.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Growth in GAAP and Organic revenues this quarter was driven by wealth, asset owners and institutional asset managers.
Annual Subscription Value ("ASV") was $2,265.9 million at November 30, 2024, compared with $2,159.4 million at November 30, 2023. Organic ASV was $2,258.8 million at November 30, 2024, up 4.5% or $98.1 million year over year⁽²⁾.
Organic ASV increased $3.4 million over the last three months. Please see the “ASV” section of this press release for details.
GAAP operating margin decreased to 33.6% compared with 34.9% for the prior year period, mainly due to an increase in amortization of intangible assets and professional fees, partially offset by growth in revenues and a decrease in employee compensation costs. Adjusted operating margin was 37.6%, consistent with the prior year period.
GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") increased 1.3% to $3.89 compared with $3.84 for the same period in fiscal 2024, primarily due to growth in revenues and a decrease in employee compensation costs, partially offset by an increase in amortization of intangible assets and professional fees. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 6.1% to $4.37 compared with $4.12 in the prior year period, driven by growth in revenues, offset by higher operating expenses and a higher tax rate.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $86.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by net income, partially offset by variable compensation payments, resolution of a sales tax dispute and timing of vendor payments. Free cash flow decreased to $60.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with $138.7 million for the prior year period, a decrease of 56.4%, primarily due to lower net cash provided by operating activities and an increase in capital expenditures.
GAAP effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased to 16.5% compared with 15.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The primary driver of the higher rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 is the revaluation of a deferred tax asset associated with a foreign tax rate change.

^{(1) References to "organic" figures in this press release exclude the current year impact of acquisitions and dispositions completed within the past 12 months and the current year impact from changes in foreign currency.}

^{(2) Beginning in fiscal 2025, FactSet is reporting Organic ASV, rather than Organic ASV plus Professional Services, to focus on the recurring nature of our revenues. This underscores the shift of FactSet's offerings toward providing more managed services and less project-based services.}

"Clients increasingly look to us as a partner of choice to bring greater productivity and unlock efficiencies across their enterprise workflows," said Phil Snow, CEO of FactSet. "As we enter our second quarter, we have a robust pipeline fueled by the strength of our diverse portfolio of innovative solutions that deliver value and resonate with our clients."

All statements that address expectations, guidance, outlook or projections about the future, including statements about the Company's strategy for growth, product development, revenues, future financial results, anticipated growth, market position, subscriptions, expected expenditures, trends in FactSet’s business and financial results, are forward-looking statements.

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 12 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 represents earnings before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. 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 is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund further investments in future growth initiatives.
