On May 10, 2010, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (the Company) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. On May 10, 2010, the Company also posted an Earnings Webcast & Conference Call Presentation dated May 10, 2010 on the Companys Investor Relations home page at www.broadridge-ir.com . The press release and presentation are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
On May 10, 2010, the Company posted key statistics of its Investor Communication Solutions, and Securities Processing and Outsourcing Solutions businesses for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, included as Exhibit 99.3 hereto, on the Companys Investor Relations homepage at www.broadridge-ir.com .
| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on November 3, 2009, the Company reported that it and its wholly owned subsidiary Ridge Clearing & Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. (Ridge) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the Asset Purchase Agreement) with Penson Worldwide, Inc. (PWI) and Penson Financial Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PWI (PFSI), to sell the contracts with substantially all of the securities clearing clients of Ridge to PFSI.
The Company believes that the closing of this transaction will occur in the fourth quarter of its current fiscal year, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The Company had previously reported that it would receive between $60 million and $70 million in total consideration for the sale of the contracts (the Purchase Price). The Purchase Price is now expected to be between $40 million and $50 million and will consist of (a) a five-year subordinated note (the Seller Note) payable by PWI bearing interest at an annual rate equal to 90-day LIBOR plus 5.5%, and (b) approximately $15 million of shares of PWIs common stock determined in accordance with a formula agreed to by the parties.
In addition, the Asset Purchase Agreement requires PWI to provide $50 million in additional regulatory capital and the Company has agreed to lend this amount to PWI in the event PWI is unable to fund the amount from other sources. The Company believes that it will not need to lend this $50 million to PWI for PWI to meet its capital requirement.
The specific amount of the Purchase Price, the allocation of the consideration between the Seller Note and PWI common stock, and whether the Company will lend $50 million to PWI will be determined prior to the closing of the transaction. The Purchase Price will be subject to certain adjustments post-closing upon the occurrence of agreed upon events.
On a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2010, the Company reported that it had entered an Information Technology Services Agreement (the IT Services Agreement) with International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), under which IBM will provide certain aspects of the Companys information technology infrastructure that are currently provided under a data center outsourcing services agreement by the Companys former parent company, Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Under the IT Services Agreement, IBM will provide a broad range of technology services to the Company including supporting its mainframe, server, network and data center operations, as well as providing disaster recovery services. The Company expects that the migration of its data center processing to IBM will take approximately 18 to 24 months to complete; which migration will commence in January 2011. The IT Services Agreement has an initial term of ten years, which commences when the Company has completed the migration of its data center processing to IBM from ADP and expires on October 31, 2021. The Company has the right to renew the initial term of the IT Services Agreement for up to one additional 12-month term.
As a result of the IT Services Agreement, the Company expects to reduce the costs associated with these functions over time by approximately $25 million annually after the transition to IBM is fully implemented in the Companys 2013 fiscal year and the payment by the Company of approximately $25 million in one-time transition costs related to the IT Services Agreement in its 2011 and 2012 fiscal years.
On May 10, 2010, the Company posted the services definitions referenced in the Investor Communication Solutions statistics, included as Exhibit 99.4 hereto, on the Companys Investor Relations homepage at www.broadridge-ir.com .
Copies of the press release, presentation, key statistics, and services definitions are being furnished as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, and 99.4 respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

BROADRIDGE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2010 RESULTS
Continued Record Sales and Strong Momentum on Strategic Initiatives
Third Quarter EPS Results In-Line with Expectations
Lake Success, New York May 10, 2010 Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR) today reported revenues of $490.8 million, net earnings from continuing operations of $30.8 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.22 for the third quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to revenues of $463.7 million, net earnings from continuing operations of $41.2 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.29 for the comparable quarter of the previous fiscal year.
Commenting on the results, Richard J. Daly, Chief Executive Officer, said, I am pleased to report solid revenue results given the weak market conditions impacting our business. The most significant achievement is our record closed sales results for the quarter and year-to-date, which continue to position us to achieve higher levels of growth and earnings when market-driven volumes return.
Mr. Daly added, Revenues for the quarter were up 6%, driven by the continued growth in event-driven revenues and new closed sales. However, weak market conditions impacted trade volumes and stock record growth, which continued to be flat to down for the quarter. Earnings were down, as expected, due to the impact of fiscal year 2009 client losses and concessions in the Securities Processing business and the benefit from a one-time tax credit in fiscal year 2009, as well as fiscal year 2010 implementation expenses related to our record sales. While I dont enjoy reporting lower earnings, I am proud that we continued to successfully execute our meaningful strategic imperatives despite difficult market conditions. These strategic imperatives include the Penson transaction, which we expect to close during our fourth quarter, the recently announced IBM data center and business alliance agreements, and our entry into the registered equity transfer agency market through an acquisition.
Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2010
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, revenues from continuing operations increased 6% to $490.8 million, compared to $463.7 million for the comparable period last year, primarily as a result of the continued growth in event-driven mutual fund proxy revenues and recurring revenues from the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (MSSB) transaction. Pre-tax margin from continuing operations of 9.9% decreased compared to 11.8% in the same period last year as a result of the carryover impact of the fiscal year 2009 Securities Processing client losses and concessions, and the dilutive effect of the MSSB transaction and increased investments including incremental sales commissions in the Investor Communications business. Sales for the quarter were strong at $41.7 million, an increase of 53% compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Net earnings from continuing operations decreased 25% to $30.8 million from $41.2 million, primarily due to lower pre-tax margin and a higher effective tax rate due to the one-time benefit from last fiscal year of $6.0 million. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations decreased to $0.22 per share on lower earnings, offset by lower weighted-average shares outstanding, compared to $0.29 per share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares of Broadridge common stock under its stock repurchase plan at an average price of approximately $21.78 per share.
Beginning in the second quarter of the 2010 fiscal year, the financial results of the securities clearing business have been accounted for as a discontinued operation and the operations outsourcing solutions business retained by Broadridge has been included in the Securities Processing Solutions segment. We anticipate that the previously announced Penson transaction will close in the fourth quarter of the 2010 fiscal year, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
Financial Results for Year-to-Date Fiscal Year 2010
Closed sales were $129.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, a 41% increase versus last years comparable period. Client revenue retention was 98% year-to-date.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, revenues from continuing operations grew by 8% to $1,458.7 million, compared to $1,356.7 million for the comparable period last year. The results were primarily driven by the growth in event-driven mutual fund proxy revenues and recurring revenues from new sales including the MSSB transaction which were offset by the previously announced client losses and concessions in Securities Processing. Pre-tax margin from continuing operations of 10.9% declined compared to 12.0% in the same period last year, primarily as a result of the revenue mix changes noted above and the one-time gain of $8.4 million from the purchase of $125.0 million of our senior notes in fiscal year 2009.
Net earnings from continuing operations increased 1% to $108.9 million from $107.3 million, primarily due to the lower effective tax rate due to a one-time foreign tax credit recorded in the second quarter of this fiscal year. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased to $0.78 per share on lower weighted-average shares outstanding, compared to $0.76 per share in the comparable period of fiscal year 2009. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 6.6 million shares of Broadridge common stock under its stock repurchase plan at an average price of approximately $21.46 per share and there remain 3.4 million shares available under the current stock repurchase plan.
Analysis of Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2010
Investor Communication Solutions
Revenues for the Investor Communication Solutions segment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 increased 7% to $356.5 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. The increase was driven primarily by higher event-driven mutual fund proxy and revenue gains from acquisitions. Operating margin decreased by 2.1 percentage points compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 primarily due to increased expenses related to the MSSB conversion.
Securities Processing Solutions
Revenues for the Securities Processing Solutions segment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 decreased 2% to $133.6 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. The decrease was primarily related to the carryover impact of fiscal year 2009 client losses and concessions and lower trade volumes in our fixed income business, slightly offset by new business. Non-trade revenues and operations outsourcing revenues were essentially unchanged. Operating margin decreased 5.1 percentage points compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, as a result of the impact from the revenue mix.
Other
Revenues from Other in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 decreased $0.8 million as a result of one-time non-recurring termination fees received in fiscal year 2009. Pre-tax loss from continuing operations for Other improved by $3.6 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, as a result of lower corporate investment spending and lower interest expense on our Long-term debt due to lower interest rates.
Fiscal Year 2010 Financial Guidance
We expect to be at the low end of the revenue guidance we provided last quarter of 7% to 9% due to the flat to negative market-driven volumes we continue to experience (i.e. trade volumes and equity stock record growth). Our GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations are expected to be in the range of $1.58 to $1.64 on a diluted share basis. Our non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations are expected to be in the range of $1.52 to $1.58 on a diluted share basis, which excludes a positive $0.06 per share impact of a one-time
2
foreign tax credit. Our GAAP earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $1.36 to $1.42 on a diluted share basis which includes the loss from discontinued clearing operations. The earnings per share guidance is based on diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 139 million shares. In addition, our fiscal year 2010 financial guidance assumes that the Penson transaction closes during the fourth quarter of our 2010 fiscal year.
We anticipate margins from continuing operations before interest and taxes in the range of 15.8% to 16.2%. Our effective annual tax rate will be approximately 34.7% (GAAP) including the one-time foreign tax credit and 37.5% (non-GAAP run rate) without the credit. Free cash flow is expected to remain in the range of $235 million to $270 million, as previously provided. Our closed sales forecast for fiscal year 2010 remains unchanged in the range of $185 million to $205 million.
Mr. Daly commented, Overall, I am satisfied with our year-to-date financial results. I am pleased with the factors we control with respect to sales and client revenue retention but disappointed that the market-driven volumes have not yet returned. As in the past, we are and remain a lagging market indicator. Fortunately the unprecedented surge in event-driven revenues enables us to be within our original earnings per share guidance. We believe the Penson transaction closing is imminent. Subsequent to closing, we anticipate opportunistically repurchasing shares to offset the $0.07 per share dilution the conversion process will cause over the next 12 to 18 months. Once the Penson transaction closes, we will request Board authorization for additional share repurchases.
Non-GAAP Measures
In certain circumstances, results have been presented that are non-GAAP measures and should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Companys reported results. Management believes such non-GAAP measures provide investors with a more complete understanding of Broadridges underlying operational results. These non-GAAP measures are indicators that management uses to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results, and as a basis for planning and forecasting for future periods. Accompanying this release is a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures.
Earnings Conference Call
An analyst conference call will be held today, Monday, May 10, at 8:30 a.m. ET. A live webcast of the call will be available to the public on a listen-only basis.

Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation and other written or oral statements made from time to time by representatives of
Broadridge may
contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Statements that are not historical in
nature, such as our fiscal year 2010 financial guidance, and which may be identified
by the use
of words like expects, assumes, projects, anticipates, estimates, we believe, could be and other
words of similar meaning, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on
managements expectations
and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that
may cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed. These risks and
uncertainties include those risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (the 2009 Annual
Report), as they may be updated
in any future reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in
their entirety
by reference to the factors discussed in the 2009 Annual Report. These risks include: the success of
Broadridge in retaining and selling additional services to its existing clients and in obtaining new
clients; the pricing of
Broadridges products and services; changes in laws affecting the
investor communication services provided by
Broadridge; changes in laws regulating registered
securities clearing firms and broker-dealers; declines in trading volume,
market prices, or
the liquidity of the securities markets; any material breach of Broadridge security affecting its clients
customer information; the failure of our outsourced data center services provider to provide the
anticipated levels of
service; any significant slowdown or failure of Broadridges
systems; Broadridges failure to keep pace with changes in
technology and demands of its
clients; availability of skilled technical employees; the impact of new acquisitions and
divestitures; competitive conditions; and overall market and economic conditions. Broadridge
disclaims any obligation to
update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise.
This presentation may include certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles)
financial measures in
describing Broadridges performance. Management believes that such
non-GAAP measures, when presented in
conjunction with comparable GAAP measures provide
investors a more complete understanding of Broadridges
underlying operational
results. These non-GAAP measures are indicators that management uses to provide additional
meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results, and as a basis for planning
and forecasting
for future periods. These measures should be considered in addition to and not
a substitute for the measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The
reconciliations of such measures to the comparable GAAP figures
are included in this
presentation.

Opening Remarks
Key Topics
Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Financial
Results:
Revenues for the quarter were up 6%, slightly below expectations
The results were primarily driven by the continued growth in event-driven
mutual fund proxy revenues and recurring revenues from the MSSB
transaction
Key market-driven revenues (trade volumes and stock record growth) have
not returned to the levels we anticipated
GAAP earnings per share were down from last year, as expected,
primarily
due
to
the
dilutive
impact
of
the
MSSB
transaction
and
the
one-
time state income tax credit received in FY09

both
Broadridge
segments
Continue to make progress on our mutual fund data aggregation strategy

Business Update
IBM Agreements:
Key strategic decision that positions Broadridge
with the industry leader
Business Alliance Agreement
The IBM/Broadridge
business alliance is structured to deliver a comprehensive
portfolio of technology-based solutions and services to the financial services
industry
The alliances go-to-market joint strategy is a technology lift (IBM)
and application
shift (Broadridge) strategy
The combined solution suite will enable firms to outsource more of their
non-core
technology and operation functions to IBM and Broadridge
Outsourcing Broadridges
Data Center
IBM is the recognized global leader in IT outsourcing services
Broadridge
will
be
aligned
with
a
technology
provider
who
offers
recognized
market
leading data center services
IBM data centers meet all of the highest standards of reliability, availability,
security
and scalability as specified for Tier IV data center
architecture
It
is
anticipated
to
save
Broadridge
approximately
$25M
annually
when
fully
implemented in FY13, subsequent to approximately $25M of one-time total
transition costs to be incurred over FY11 and FY12

Revenue Drivers-
Historical and FY10 (Continuing Operations)
Sales
large deals in the SPS space take 12-24 months to convert. The contributions to revenue are
fairly well known
months/yrs in advance so usually no surprises with ranges given for revenue
but sales ranges may be subject to more
lumpiness
even within/between years (See Appendix page 26 for detailed Closed Sales to Revenue Contribution
Slide)
Client
Losses
(Retention)
any
large
loss
has
historically
been
known
in
advance
and
hasnt
created
a
surprise
in
any years forecast weve given. Weve not been made aware of any large potential
losses to date

Segment Results
Investor Communication Solutions
Key Highlights:
Revenues:
Q3, YTD, and Full Year range driven by unprecedented event-driven mutual fund
(MF) proxy, gains from Net New Business (sales less losses)
primarily MSSB,
and Access Data
Throughout this extended economic cycle, our client revenue
retention rates remain very high. Internal growth generally lags behind market
recovery, but expected to return to historical levels. Equity stock record
growth expected to be at -1% for year as weve seen improvement from
1
st
half
Margins:
Q3 decline driven by fee mix including the previously disclosed dilutive impact of
MSSB and increased investments as we respond to market
opportunities. YTD up
primarily due to MF proxy activity in Q2
Full Year Guidance:
Both revenue and margins are down for the low and high end of the ranges from last
quarter due to equity stock record growth still being down,
no
signs
of
recovery
to
date
for
proxy
contests/specials
or
fulfillment
and
MF
proxy
activity
not
as
robust

Business Results

Key Highlights:
Revenues:
Q3 and YTD revenue declines driven by previously disclosed carry-over impact of
client losses and price concessions and lower trade volumes in both
Equities
and Fixed Income
Continued delay in timing of expected Bank of America (BoA)
client loss provided benefits to both Q3 and YTD
Q3 trade volumes slightly up
from Q2 for Equities and Fixed Income
Non-trade revenues such as Time
& Materials (T&M) while down, continue to be better than expected
Margins:
