Broadridge Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2008 Results and Increases EPS Guidance Contact Information LAKE SUCCESS, New York – May 8, 2008 – Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR), a leading global provider of technology-based outsourcing solutions to the financial services industry, today reported earnings of $29.5 million, or $0.21 per share for the third quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $41.9 million or $0.30 per share for the comparable quarter of the previous fiscal year. 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 Company’s reported results. Management believes such Non-GAAP measures provide investors a more complete understanding of Broadridge’s 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. A reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP measures is available in the accompanying schedules to this release and on the Broadridge Investor Relations home page at www.broadridge-ir.com.
