“After a strong third quarter, Broadridge remains well-positioned to deliver on its full year guidance,” said Rich Daly, Broadridge’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We reported very healthy revenue growth, driven by the acquisition of NACC and organic growth of our recurring fee revenues, and double digit Adjusted operating income and Adjusted EPS growth.  I am also pleased by the continued record results in Closed sales, which should contribute to Broadridge’s growth over 2018 and beyond.”

“Our strong results, coupled with the stability of our business model, have enabled us to balance rewarding our long-term  shareholders in the form of a strong and growing dividend and share buybacks, while making investments to enhance our business.  In total, we returned $140 million to shareholders in the third quarter, while making a small tuck-in acquisition to strengthen our GTO segment.”

“As we near the end of our fiscal year, we are reaffirming our fiscal year 2017 guidance for our key metrics.  Our guidance, which calls for recurring fee revenue growth of 29% to 31%, Adjusted EPS growth of 12% to 17%, and Closed sales in the range of $140 million to $180 million, puts Broadridge right on track to achieve the three year financial objectives we set in December 2014,” Mr. Daly concluded.

Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2017

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 ("third quarter of fiscal year 2017") increased 46% to $1,009 million, from $689 million for the prior year period. Revenues from acquisitions contributed $283 million of this total increase, with the revenues of the North American Customer Communications business acquired from DST Systems, Inc. ("NACC") contributing $277 million.

Recurring fee revenues rose 30% to $592 million from $455 million.  The increase in recurring fee revenues reflected organic growth of 4%, including 5% from Net New Business partially offset by negative 1% internal growth. Acquisitions accounted for the remainder of the increase, including $111 million from the acquisition of NACC.

Distribution revenues rose $172 million, or 85%, to $376 million, largely driven by the acquisition of NACC. Event-driven revenues increased 26% to $61 million from $48 million. Changes in foreign currency rates lowered Broadridge's total revenue by $2 million as compared to the prior year period.

Operating Income

For the third quarter of fiscal year 2017:

  • Operating income was $110 million, an increase of $9 million, or 9%, compared to $101 million for the prior year period. Operating income margin decreased to 10.9%, compared to 14.6% for the prior year period.
  • Adjusted operating income was $134 million, an increase of $24 million, or 22%, compared to $110 million for the prior year period. Adjusted operating income margin decreased to 13.2%, compared to 15.9% for the prior year period.
  • The decrease in Operating income margin and Adjusted operating income margin was primarily due to the acquisition of NACC.

Interest Expense and Other non-operating Income/Expenses

Interest expense, net for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 was $11 million, an increase of $4 million, or 66%, compared to $7 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense driven by higher indebtedness.

Other non-operating income, net was $7 million, an increase of $8 million compared to Other non-operating expenses, net of $1 million for the prior year period. The third quarter of fiscal year 2017 includes a $9 million non-cash, nontaxable gain on investment from the acquisition of Message Automation Limited (the "MAL investment gain").

For the third quarter of fiscal year 2017:

  • Net earnings increased 19% to $76 million, compared to $64 million for the prior year period.

Segment and Other Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2017

Investor Communication Solutions ("ICS")
ICS revenues for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 increased $311 million, or 60%, to $826 million, compared to $515 million in the prior year period. Revenues from the acquisition of NACC contributed $277 million of this total increase.

ICS recurring fee revenues in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 rose $126 million, or 48%, to $389 million.  The increase reflected: (i) contributions from the NACC acquisition (42pts); (ii) Net New Business (6pts) and (iii) flat internal growth. ICS distribution revenues rose $172 million, or 85%, to $376 million.  Event-driven revenues increased $12 million to $61 million, largely as a result of higher mutual fund proxy volumes.

Position growth, which is a component of internal growth, was 5% for mutual fund and ETF interims and 6% for annual equity proxy communications.

ICS earnings before income taxes increased $7 million, or 10%, to $74 million.  The increase was primarily due to higher recurring and event-driven fee revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses, which includes higher amortization related to the acquisitions of NACC and the Inveshare technology assets. Pre-tax margins decreased by 4.1 percentage points to 8.9%.

Global Technology and Operations ("GTO")
GTO revenues for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 increased $11 million, or 6%, to $203 million, compared to $191 million in the prior year period. The increase was attributable to higher Net New Business (5pts) and revenue from recent acquisitions (3pts), partially offset by negative internal growth (-2pts). Excluding the impact of the APTP re-contracting in the prior year period, internal growth was essentially flat.

GTO earnings before income taxes rose $4 million, or 10%, to $44 million, reflecting strong revenue growth and recent efficiency initiatives. Pre-tax margins increased by 0.9 percentage points to 21.9%.

Other
Other Pre-tax loss was essentially flat in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 at $14 million from $15 million in the prior year period.

Additional Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2017 Events

Acquisition of Message Automation Limited

The Company owned 25% of MAL and purchased the remaining 75% for an aggregate purchase price of $24 million in cash, subject to customary working capital and other closing adjustments. As a result of the acquisition, Broadridge recorded a $9 million non-cash, nontaxable investment gain on its minority ownership interest.

Recurring fee revenues rose 32% to $1,645 million from $1,246 million.  The increase in recurring fee revenues reflected: contributions from our recent acquisitions (27pts), including $323 million from the acquisition of NACC, and gains from Net New Business (4pts).

Segment and Other Results for The Nine Months Fiscal 2017

Investor Communication Solutions
ICS revenues for the nine months fiscal 2017 increased $843 million, or 59%, to $2,259 million, compared to $1,417 million in the prior year period. Revenues from acquisitions contributed $819 million of this total increase, with NACC revenues contributing $816 million.

ICS recurring fee revenues rose $355 million, or 51%, to $1,053 million.  The increase reflected: (i) contributions from our recent acquisitions (47pts), including (46pts) from the NACC acquisition; (ii) Net New Business (4pts) and (iii) flat internal growth. ICS distribution revenues rose $503 million, or 87%, to $1,078 million.  Event-driven revenues declined $15 million to $128 million as a result of lower mutual fund proxy volumes and corporate action activity.

Position growth compared to the same period in the prior year, was 3% for mutual fund interims and 3% for annual equity proxy communications.

ICS earnings before income taxes declined $22 million, or 15%, to $125 million.  The decline was primarily due to higher operating expenses, which includes higher amortization related to the acquisitions of NACC and the Inveshare technology assets and lower event-driven fee revenues. Pre-tax margins decreased by 4.9 percentage points to 5.5%.

Global Technology and Operations
GTO revenues for the nine months fiscal 2017 increased $44 million, or 8%, to $592 million, compared to $548 million in the prior year period. The increase was attributable to higher Net New Business (4pts), revenue from recent acquisitions (3pts) and internal growth from higher trade and non-trade activity levels partially offset by contract renewals (1pt).

GTO earnings before income taxes rose $29 million, or 29%, to $129 million, reflecting robust revenue growth and efficiency initiatives. Pre-tax margins increased by 3.6 percentage points to 21.8%.

Other
Other Pre-tax loss increased by $14 million for the nine months fiscal 2017 to $58 million from $44 million in the prior year period. The biggest contributors to the increased loss was a $13 million increase in net interest expense, increased foreign currency transaction losses of $4 million and a gain on the sale of an asset in the prior fiscal year, partially offset by a $9 million MAL investment gain.

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. generally accepted accounting principles ("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, for internal planning and forecasting purposes and in the calculation of performance-based compensation. 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, as adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These adjusted measures exclude the impact of Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property, Acquisition and Integration Costs and the MAL investment gain.  Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property represents non-cash 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.

We exclude Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Purchased Intellectual Property, Acquisition and Integration Costs and the MAL investment gain from these measures because excluding such information provides us with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business and these items do not reflect ordinary operations or earnings. Management believes these measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business.

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 and other discretionary investments.  Free cash flow is a Non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as Net cash flows provided by operating activities less Capital expenditures and 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.
