2007 News Releases
Broadridge Reports Fourth Quarter And Fiscal 2007 Results Contact: NEW YORK, NY – August 22, 2007 – Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR), a leading global provider of technology-based outsourcing solutions to the financial services industry, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007 that exceeded the high end of its previously announced guidance range. For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, net revenues grew 8% from the previous fourth quarter, with net earnings from continuing operations of $99 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.71. For fiscal year 2007 net revenues grew 11% from the prior year, with net earnings from continuing operations of $197 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.42. Management believes that certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures provide a useful basis for evaluating the Company’s comparative operating performance. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute for the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures include adjustments for one-time transition expenses related to Broadridge’s recent spin-off from Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (NYSE:ADP), and interest on new debt. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures is available in the accompanying schedules to this release. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, net revenues grew by 8% over fiscal year 2006 to $774 million driven by internal growth from existing clients and higher revenues related primarily to distribution fees, and to a lesser degree fees related to proxy services in connection with mutual fund and non-annual proxy jobs. Non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations of $114 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.82 increased 13% and 14%, respectively, compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. For fiscal year 2007, net revenues grew by 11% over fiscal year 2006 to $2.14 billion, primarily driven by internal growth and to a lesser degree by net new business. Non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations of $212 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.53 each increased 18% compared with fiscal year 2006. Commenting on the results, Richard J. Daly, Chief Executive Officer said, “We are pleased with our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007 results as they were slightly better than our expectations. The quarter capped an exciting and successful fiscal year. It was a year in which we had solid financial performance, the successful execution of the spin-off from ADP and the effective build-out of the post-spin public company infrastructure.” Analysis of Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2007 Investor Communication Solutions Securities Processing Solutions Clearing and Outsourcing Solutions Fiscal Year 2008 Financial Guidance Non-GAAP Measures Earnings Conference Call About Broadridge This press release 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.
