    NORWALK, Conn., Dec. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 first quarter as of November 30, 2022.

    First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights

    • GAAP revenues increased 18.9%, or $80.1 million, to $504.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $424.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily due to the addition of CUSIP Global Services (CGS). Organic revenue, which excludes the effects of acquisitions and dispositions completed within the last 12 months and foreign currency movements, grew 8.3% to $459.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 from the prior year period.
    • Annual Subscription Value (ASV) plus professional services was $2.0 billion at November 30, 2022, compared with $1.7 billion at November 30, 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 November 30, 2022, up $149.5 million from the prior year at a growth rate of 8.8%.
    • Organic ASV plus professional services increased $9.3 million over the last three months. The primary contributors to this growth were higher sales of Analytics & Trading and Research & Advisory solutions. Please see the "ASV + Professional Services" section of this press release for details.
    • GAAP operating margin increased to 34.1% compared with 28.9% for the same period last year, driven by higher revenue, lower personnel cost as a percentage of revenue, lower third-party content costs, and reduced facilities expenses, partially offset by higher technology expense and operating costs related to CGS. Adjusted operating margin improved to 38.3% compared with 33.6% in the prior year period, primarily due to higher revenue, led by the CGS acquisition, lower third-party content costs, and reduced facilities expenses, partially offset by higher technology expense.
    • GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 26.2% to $3.52 compared with $2.79 for the same period in fiscal 2022, primarily due to higher revenue and margin expansion, partially offset by higher interest expenses and increased income taxes. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 22.8% to $3.99 compared with $3.25 for the prior year period due to the same drivers.
    • Adjusted EBITDA increased to $200.4 million, up 38.2%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared with $145.0 million for the same period in fiscal 2022.
    • In connection with the acquisition of CGS, 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 a $1 billion term loan and revolving credit facilities. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, FactSet made a $125 million pre-payment of the principal amount of the term loan. As of November 30, 2022, a total of $375 million in term loan principal pre-payments have been made.
    • The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter increased to 13.4% compared with 10.2% for the three months ended November 30, 2021, primarily due to higher pre-tax income and an increase of the UK statutory tax rate.
    • FactSet reaffirms its annual outlook for fiscal 2023, originally provided on September 22, 2022. Please see the "Annual Business Outlook" section of this press release for details.

    "Our first-quarter results reflect the strength of our top line," said Phil Snow, CEO, FactSet. "Our content and technology investments are clearly enhancing our competitive position. While macro uncertainties persist, FactSet has historically grown through market cycles, and I'm confident in our business and pipeline heading into the second quarter."

    About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Financial measures in accordance with US 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.

    Adjusted revenues exclude the impact of the fair value of deferred revenues acquired in a business combination. Organic revenues further exclude the effects of acquisitions and dispositions completed in the last 12 months and foreign currency movements in all periods presented. Adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude intangible asset amortization, the impact of the fair valuing of deferred revenues acquired in a business combination, and non-recurring items. EBITDA excludes 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 better reflect the underlying economic performance of FactSet.
