NORWALK, Conn., March 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 second quarter fiscal 2024 ended February 29, 2024.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Highlights

GAAP revenues increased 6.0%, or $30.9 million, to $545.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $515.1 million in the prior year period. Organic⁽¹⁾ revenues grew 6.0% year over year to $546.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Growth in GAAP and Organic revenues this quarter was driven by asset owners, corporates, hedge funds and private equity and venture capital clients.
Annual Subscription Value ("ASV") plus professional services was $2,208.8 million at February 29, 2024, compared with $2,096.2 million at February 28, 2023⁽²⁾. Organic ASV plus professional services was $2,209.5 million at February 29, 2024, up 5.4% or $113.8 million year over year.
Organic ASV plus professional services increased $24.9 million over the last three months. Please see the "ASV + Professional Services" section of this press release for details.
GAAP operating margin increased to 33.3% compared with 32.9% for the prior year, mainly due to higher revenues, lower personnel expenses on a lower bonus accrual, and a higher capitalization benefit. These were partially offset by an approximately $11 million restructuring charge taken in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 in connection with personnel reductions. Adjusted operating margin improved to 38.3% compared with 37.0% in the prior year period driven by similar drivers contributing to higher GAAP operating margin, partially offset by increased bad debt expenses.
GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") increased 8.0% to $3.65 compared with $3.38 for the same period in fiscal 2023 due to higher revenues and margin expansion, partially offset by a higher tax rate. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 11.1% to $4.22 compared with $3.80 for the prior year, driven by revenue growth and margin expansion partially offset by a higher tax rate.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $218.1 million, up 9.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $199.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2023, due to higher operating income.
The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased to 16.4% compared with 16.1% for the three months ended February 28, 2023, due to higher taxable income, offset by higher stock option exercises and higher foreign credits, which reduce the tax rate.

For year to date comparisons, organic revenues excludes current year revenues incurred prior to the first anniversary date of an acquisition.}

Annual Subscription Value (ASV) + Professional Services

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

ASV plus professional services was $2,208.8 million at February 29, 2024, compared with $2,096.2 million at February 28, 2023.

Buy-side clients, including 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, 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 $1,415.4 million compared with ASV in the prior year period of $1,336.6 million. Organic ASV increased 5.9% to $1,415.4 million. Americas revenues for the quarter increased to $352.6 million compared with $331.1 million in the second quarter of last year. The Americas region's organic revenues growth rate was 6.5%.

Operational Highlights – Second Quarter Fiscal 2024

Client count as of February 29, 2024 was 8,020, a net increase of 75 clients in the past three months, driven by an increase in private equity/venture capital, corporates and wealth management clients. The count includes clients with ASV of $10,000 and more.
User count decreased by 605 to 206,478 in the past three months, driven by a decrease in banking and wealth management users.
Annual ASV retention was greater than 95%. When expressed as a percentage of clients, annual retention was 90%.
Employee count was 12,279 as of February 29, 2024, up 3.2% over the last twelve months, with the increase primarily in FactSet's Centers of Excellence. Growth was driven by an increase in the content group. 68% of FactSet employees are located in the Centers of Excellence.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $143.8 million compared with $164.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily due to the timing of remitted payroll taxes related to employee stock compensation as well as income tax payments made in the period. Quarterly free cash flow decreased to $121.9 million compared with $147.2 million a year ago, a decrease of 17.2%, driven by a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities and higher capital expenditures.
A quarterly dividend of $37.4 million, or $0.98 per share, will be paid on March 21, 2024, to holders of record of FactSet's common stock at the close of business on February 29, 2024.
FactSet announced the release of Transcript Assistant, a GenAI-powered, conversational chatbot that accelerates in-depth research and analysis of earnings call transcripts. Transcript Assistant leverages generative AI to help users search, analyze, and extract valuable, actionable insights from all transcripts in FactSet, ultimately enhancing the investment research process in the FactSet Workstation.

Before her retirement, Hylton served as Chief Financial Officer as well as Chief Accounting Officer at Eaton Vance Corp., a leading global asset manager.

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.
