Richard J. Daly, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Broadridge ended fiscal 2017 on a strong note, driving record results. Revenues rose 43% to $4.1 billion, fueled by 6% organic growth in recurring fee revenues and the acquisition of DST’s NACC business, and Adjusted EPS increased 15% to $3.13. I am especially pleased by our strong closed sales results. Closed sales rose 25% to a record $188 million in fiscal 2017, including $64 million in the fourth quarter, positioning Broadridge well for future growth.”
Given our multi-year focus, I am proud to report that Broadridge achieved the three year financial objectives we set out at our investor day in December 2014 by delivering three year compound annual growth in recurring revenue of 14% and Adjusted earnings growth of 11%. We look forward to providing another set of three year objectives at our next investor day this coming December. Our guidance for fiscal year 2018 calls for another strong year, with recurring fee revenue growth in the range of 4% to 6%, Adjusted EPS growth of 15% to 19%, and closed sales in the range of $170 million to $210 million,” he added.
“The Board of Directors approved an 11% increase in our annual dividend amount to $1.46 per share based on Broadridge's fiscal year 2017 performance and their confidence in the strength of our business. I am proud to note that Broadridge has raised its dividend every year since becoming a public company in 2007, with fiscal year 2018 marking the sixth consecutive double digit increase,” Mr. Daly concluded.

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.
