“Broadridge delivered a solid first quarter,” said Richard J. Daly, Broadridge’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We reported strong revenue growth, largely driven by the acquisition of NACC, and continued strong momentum in Closed sales. We also took steps to strengthen our leadership position over the medium- and long-term by investing in blockchain technology for our proxy business and by executing on the digital strategy for our Investor Communication Solutions segment.”
“These efforts, together with other ongoing product initiatives and our strong sales pipeline, give Broadridge multiple paths to drive growth. We are on track to achieve our three year financial objectives and our fiscal 2017 guidance 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,” Mr. Daly added.
Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2017
Revenues
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 increased 51% to $895 million, from $595 million for the prior year period. Revenues from acquisitions contributed $278 million of this total increase, with the revenues of the North American Customer Communications business acquired from DST Systems, Inc. ("NACC") contributing $272 million.
Recurring fee revenues rose 32% to $517 million from $393 million. The increase in recurring fee revenues reflected: contributions from our recent acquisitions (28pts), including $106 million from the acquisition of NACC, and gains from Net New Business (4pts).
Distribution revenues rose $181 million, or 103%, to $357 million, largely driven by the acquisition of NACC. Changes in foreign currency rates lowered Broadridge's total revenue by $4 million as compared to the prior year period.
Operating Income
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2017:
- Operating income was $66 million, an increase of $7 million, or 12%, compared to $59 million for the prior year period. Operating income margin decreased to 7.4%, compared to 9.9% for the prior year period.
- Adjusted operating income was $82 million, an increase of $13 million, or 19%, compared to $68 million for the prior year period. Adjusted operating income margin decreased to 9.1%, compared to 11.5% for the prior year period.
- The increase in Operating income and Adjusted operating income was primarily due to the acquisition of NACC.
Interest Expense and Other Non-operating Expenses
Interest expense, net for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 was $10 million, an increase of $4 million, or 68%, compared to $6 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense driven by higher indebtedness. Other non-operating expenses, net were $4 million, an increase of $3 million, primarily due to higher foreign currency transaction losses.
Net Earnings and Earnings per Share
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2017:
- Net earnings were $34 million for both the current and prior year period.
- Adjusted net earnings increased 11% to $44 million, compared to $40 million for the prior year period.

Segment and Other Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2017
Investor Communication Solutions ("ICS")
ICS revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 increased $294 million, or 68%, to $723 million, compared to $430 million in the prior year period. Revenues from acquisitions contributed $274 million of this total increase, with NACC revenues contributing $272 million.
ICS recurring fee revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 rose $113 million, or 52%, to $329 million. The increase reflected: (i) contributions from our recent acquisitions (50pts), including (49pts) from the NACC acquisition; and (ii) Net New Business from increases in revenues from Closed sales (3pts); which were partially offset by (iii) negative internal growth as a result of a decline in the volume of processed pieces (-1pt).
ICS distribution revenues rose $181 million, or 103%, to $357 million. Event-driven revenues declined $1 million to $38 million as a result of decreased equity proxy specials and corporate actions communications activity.
Position growth compared to the same period in the prior year, which is a component of internal growth, was 1% for mutual fund interims and 1% for annual equity proxy communications.
ICS earnings before income taxes declined $1 million, or 3%, to $33 million as higher operating expenses, including higher distribution and amortization expenses, more than offset the impact of higher revenues. Pre-tax margins decreased by 3.4 percentage points to 4.5%, this was primarily due to the acquisition of NACC.
Global Technology and Operations ("GTO")
GTO revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 increased $11 million, or 6%, to $188 million, compared to $177 million in the prior year period. The increase was attributable to higher Net New Business from Closed sales (4pts) and revenue from recent acquisitions (2pts).
GTO earnings before income taxes rose $8 million, or 26%, to $38 million, reflecting robust revenue growth and cost management initiatives. Pre-tax margins increased by 320 basis points to 20.4%.
Other
Other Pre-tax loss increased by $9 million, or 64%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 to $23 million. The biggest driver of the increased loss was higher net interest expense of $4 million.
Additional First Quarter Fiscal Year 2017 Events
Customer Communications Acquisition
On July 1, 2016, Broadridge completed the acquisition of NACC from DST Systems, Inc., expanding our product offerings in our Investor Communication Solutions segment. This business is being integrated into our existing customer communications business, which is now known as Broadridge Customer Communications. The aggregate purchase price was $410 million in cash, subject to customary working capital and other closing adjustments.
Purchase of Intellectual Property
In September 2016, Broadridge acquired intellectual property assets from Inveshare, Inc. ("Inveshare") and, at the same time, entered into a development agreement with an affiliate of Inveshare to use these assets to develop blockchain technology applications for Broadridge’s proxy business. The purchase price was $95 million to acquire the existing assets, plus an additional deferred payment of $40 million upon delivery of the new blockchain technology applications, which the Company expects to occur by September 2018. Broadridge also granted Inveshare a perpetual license to the acquired technology assets, and Inveshare will remain an independent provider of proxy communication services.
Subsequent Event - M&O Systems Acquisition
On November 4, 2016, Broadridge completed the acquisition of M&O Systems, Inc. (“M&O”).

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. 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, and Acquisition and Integration Costs. 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, and Acquisition and Integration Costs 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.
