NORWALK, Conn., June 23, 2022 - FactSet ("FactSet" or the "Company") (NYSE:FDS) (NASDAQ:FDS), a global provider of integrated financial information, analytical applications, and industry-leading service, today announced results for its third quarter ended May 31, 2022.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Highlights
•GAAP revenues increased 22.3%, or $89.2 million, to $488.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with $399.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of CUSIP Global Services (CGS) in March 2022 and higher sales of research and advisory and analytics solutions. Organic revenue, which excludes the effects of acquisitions and dispositions completed within the last 12 months and foreign currency movements, grew 10.5% to $441.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from the prior year period.
•Annual Subscription Value (ASV) plus professional services was $1.9 billion at May 31, 2022, compared with $1.6 billion at May 31, 2021. Organic ASV plus professional services, which excludes the effects of acquisitions and dispositions completed within the last 12 months and foreign currency movements, was $1.8 billion at May 31, 2022, up $157.7 million from the prior year at a growth rate of 10.1%.
•Organic ASV plus professional services increased $31.9 million over the last three months. The primary contributors to this growth were higher sales of research and advisory and analytics solutions. Please see the "ASV + Professional Services" section of this press release for details.
•GAAP operating margin decreased to 19.9% compared with 29.5% for the same period last year, driven by charges related to vacating certain leased office space as well as amortization of intangible assets and costs related to the CGS acquisition, partially offset by growth in revenues. Adjusted operating margin improved to 36.6% compared with 31.6% in the prior year period, primarily due to the CGS acquisition and lower compensation expenses.
•GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) decreased 26.3% to $1.93 compared with $2.62 for the same period in fiscal 2021, primarily due to real estate impairment charges, amortization of intangible assets, expenses related to the CGS acquisition and higher interest expenses, partially offset by higher revenues. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 38.2% to $3.76 compared with the prior year period, driven by higher revenues and margin expansion, partially offset by higher interest expense.
•Adjusted EBITDA increased to $173.5 million, up 30.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with $133.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2021.
•As previously announced, FactSet completed its acquisition of CGS, a standard in the global securities marketplace, on March 1, 2022. In connection with the acquisition, FactSet issued its inaugural investment grade senior notes consisting of $500 million principal amount of 2.90% senior notes due 2027 and $500 million principal amount of 3.45% senior notes due 2032. In addition, FactSet entered into a new credit agreement providing for term and revolving credit facilities. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, FactSet made a $125 million pre-payment of the principal amount of the term loan.
