“Broadridge reported strong first quarter results,” said Tim Gokey, Broadridge’s CEO. “Recurring revenues grew by 16%, propelled by revenue from new sales, continued robust governance trends, and our ongoing integration of Itiviti.
With a strong first quarter, Broadridge is on track to achieve our full-year guidance of 12-15% recurring revenue growth and 11-15% Adjusted EPS growth. We are focused on delivering sustainable, long-term growth across our governance, capital markets and wealth businesses, and we remain well-positioned to achieve the higher end of our three-year growth objectives.”

Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 compared to First Quarter Fiscal Year 2021
•Total revenues increased 17% to $1,193 million from $1,017 million in the prior year period.
◦Recurring fee revenues increased 16% to $751 million from $650 million. The increase was driven by 5pts of net new business and 2pts of internal growth. Growth from acquisitions was 9pts, most notably from our recent Itiviti acquisition which closed in May 2021.
◦Event-driven fee revenues increased $31 million, or 69%, to $76 million, primarily due to increased mutual fund proxy activity.
◦Distribution revenues increased $36 million, or 11%, to $367 million, driven by an increase in customer communications mailings and event-driven activity.
•Operating income was $103 million, an increase of $25 million, or 31%. Operating income margin increased to 8.7%, compared to 7.7% for the prior year period due to growth in recurring and event-driven revenues and the absence of the real estate realignment charge that occurred in the prior year period, which more than offset higher amortization expense from acquired intangible assets and other spending.
◦Adjusted Operating income was $177 million, an increase of $26 million, or 17%. The increase was driven by higher recurring revenues, including from the acquisition of Itiviti, and event-driven revenues, partially offset by growth investments and other spending. Adjusted Operating income margin was flat at 14.8%.
•Interest expense, net was $23 million, an increase of $8 million, driven by higher average debt outstanding.
•The effective tax rate was 14.1% compared to 10.6% in the prior year period. The increase in the effective tax rate was driven by lower total discrete tax items.
•Net earnings increased 2% to $67 million and Adjusted Net earnings increased 10% to $126 million.
◦Diluted earnings per share increased 2% to $0.57, compared to $0.56 in the prior year period and Adjusted earnings per share increased 9% to $1.07, compared to $0.98 in the prior year period.
Segment and Other Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 compared to First Quarter Fiscal Year 2021
Investor Communication Solutions (“ICS”)
•ICS total revenues were $854 million, an increase of $108 million, or 14%.
◦Recurring fee revenues increased $41 million, or 11%, to $410 million. The increase was attributable to 6pts of revenue from net new business and 5pts of revenue from internal growth. Internal growth benefited from higher volumes of mutual fund and exchange-traded fund communications and equity proxies.
◦Event-driven fee revenues increased $31 million, or 69%, to $76 million, primarily due to increased mutual fund proxy activity.
◦Distribution revenues increased $36 million, or 11%, to $367 million primarily from an increase in customer communication mailings and event-driven activity.
•ICS earnings before income taxes were $82 million, an increase of $30 million, or 57%. The earnings increase was due to an increase in Recurring fee revenues and Event-driven fee revenues. Pre-tax margins increased to 9.7% from 7.0%. Amortization expense from acquired intangibles decreased to $21 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 from $22 million in the prior period.
Global Technology and Operations (“GTO”)
•GTO Recurring fee revenues were $341 million, an increase of $60 million, or 21%, driven primarily by 20pts of growth from recent acquisitions including 19pts from the Itiviti acquisition.
•GTO earnings before income taxes were $19 million, a decrease of $51 million, or 73%. The earnings decrease was due to increased amortization of acquired intangibles and increased expenditures to implement
2
and support new business. Pre-tax margins decreased to 5.5% from 24.9%. Amortization expense from acquired intangibles increased to $48 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 from $11 million in the prior year period primarily as a result of the Itiviti acquisition.
Other
•Other loss before income tax improved to $22 million from $46 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the absence of the $29 million real estate realignment charge that occurred in the prior year period, partially offset by higher interest expense due to an increase in average debt outstanding.
Change in Foreign Exchange Rates
Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company revised the foreign exchange rates used to present segment revenues, segment earnings (loss) before income taxes, and Closed sales, in order to further allocate the foreign exchange impact to the individual segment revenue and profit metrics. The presentation of segment revenues, earnings (loss) before income taxes, and Closed sales for the prior periods provided has been changed to conform to the current period presentation. Total consolidated revenues and earnings before income taxes were not impacted. For additional information, please see the Company’s Form 8-K filed on September 27, 2021.
First Quarter 2022 Acquisitions
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, Broadridge completed the acquisitions of the assets of Jordan & Jordan, as well as the approximately 68% of Alpha Omega that Broadridge did not already own. Both acquisitions are reported in Broadridge’s GTO segment.
The acquisition of the Jordan & Jordan assets will enable Broadridge to further extend its strategic regulatory reporting capabilities as well as add compliance and regulatory reporting consulting capabilities. The Alpha Omega acquisition will enable Broadridge to fully consolidate Alpha Omega’s post-trade matching and consolidation solution into its existing NYFIX connectivity and FIX infrastructure to better automate buy-side and sell-side firms’ trade matching processes.

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, and Free cash flow. 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, each as adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items the exclusion of which management believes provide 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, (ii) Acquisition and Integration Costs, (iii) Real Estate Realignment and Covid-19 Related Expenses, (iv) Investment Gain, and (v) Software Charge. Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property represents non-cash amortization expenses associated with the Company’s acquisition activities. Acquisition and Integration Costs represent certain transaction and integration costs associated with the Company’s acquisition activities. Real Estate Realignment and Covid-19 Related Expenses represent costs associated with the Company's real estate realignment initiative, including lease exit and impairment charges and other facility exit costs, as well as certain expenses associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. Investment Gain represents a non-operating, non-cash gain on a privately held investment. Software Charge represents a charge related to an internal use software product that is no longer expected to be used.
We exclude Acquisition and Integration Costs, Real Estate Realignment and Covid-19 Related Expenses, the Investment Gain, and the Software Charge 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.
4
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 plus Proceeds from asset sales, less Capital expenditures as well as Software purchases and capitalized internal use software.
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.
